The formation of a Direct Main-Trunk Railway, for the im. portant purpose of connecting the north of England and Scotland, by York and Lincoln, with the metropolis, has been decided upon, afier mature investigation and conviction of the public advantages such a line of communication. The line will commence near Ying's-cross, in the New-road, the Most central situation in the metropolis, both as regards the West_ end and the City; it proceeds by CMpping Barnet, Biggleswade, St. Neots, Huntingdon, near Peterborough and Market Deeping by Stamford, to the west of Bourn, east of Grantham, west of Sleaford, and east of Newark, to Lincoln, and thence by Gainsborough, Thorne, Snaith, and Selby, to York. The distance by it between London and York will be 180 miles. will be about 20 miles shorter than by any other proposed line. and reduceYweirlkl,ait by 39 mile s th e prese nt distance between London will consequently by the same distance bring New saved 504 n t b Edinburgh nearer to the metropolis, while the distance etween London and Hull will be no less than 43 miles. Braß _ r l will f orm the n earest route to Leeds, Selby, Hull, H a lif ax, dford, Huddersfield, Wakefie ld , Pontefract, and She ffi eld ; thus a com manding the traf fi c of the m anufacturing districts of Yorkshire, shsiTrweell as the traffic from t h e north o f E ng l an d, Scotland, Lincoln b Itstf other ag r i cultural districts through w hi c h i t passes. races co urse through a highly productive country, it em all the market towns of importance, and connects all Lin colnsbire with the manufacturing districts and the metropolis. it ° Pens an e asy communication between Norfolk And Sufiblk, and the West and North of England. The line, as will be seen by the map, does not interfere with the drainage of the fen country, whilst it embraces the most important Markets and towns of that district. The inclinations are extremely favourable, and arc obtained at a Moderate expense, there not being any engineering work of great magnitude on the line. The guage will be the same as the exist. log lines through the manufacturing districts, and all loss of time In travelling will be avoided, as the line will be an integral trunk line under one management. The expense of construction being moderate, and the distance so much reduced, the fares will be proportionately less, and an ample profit is sufficiently shown by the annexed abstract of the traffic tables, which are the result of a most rigid investigation, and are prepared as evidence for P-rliament. The capital proposed to be raised, namely, 4,000,0001., is a suns exceeding the engineers' estimate. It has, however, been thought advisable to allow an ample margin for any increase of prices above those of the present time. The surveys were commenced in October last, and in March lest, the Direct Northern Line, and its advantages (together with many other trial lines, and their disadvantages), were carefully brought to the consideration of many gentlemen well qualified to form an apinion on such matters, and finally theprospectus, accom panied by a map on a sufficient scale, was published on the 4th of April, 1844. This prospectus and map show the London terminus at King's-cross. At this date there was not before the public any other project for a direct line of railway from London to York ; but when more than a month had elapsed from the time of the publication of the Prospectus and Map of the Direct Northern Railway, the Cam bridge and York via Lincoln Railway Company (who had up to that time adhered to an indirect line by Cambridge to York) changed their title to that of the London and York Railway Com pany, and their stated capital, which previously had varied from 2 , 50 0,600/. to 1,600,0001., was then, for the first time, named at 4,000,000/. In their new prospectus the London and York Com Palsy also adopted King's.cross for their London terminus. Of the sense entertained of these encroachments by the pro moters of the Direct Northern Railway, the York and London Company were duly apprised by a circular addressed to each mem ber of their Committee on the 18th of May last, and signed by the Secretary, Major Amsinck. A map of the London and York Railway was, however, pub lished in the latter part of August last, which, to the surprise of the promoters of the Direct Northern Line, showed an attempt to appropriate upwards of 70 miles from London of the published line of the Direct Northern Railway. Still the project of the London and York Railway Company falls very far short of a direct line from London to the north, as will be seen from the following data:— From London to York the distance by the present lines of rail way is 219 miles ; by the proposed London and York line, stated to be 200 miles; by the proposed Direct Northern Railway, 180 mike. During tbeprogress of this undertaking, a very of the landowners on t h e li ne have been communicatesla large proportion with, and consulted in reference to it, and exceptions,the futiconcurrenee Portant interest is, with very few confidently o relied el t i h e d a t o i n m . - Public attention having Principle, the Committee wis f h eeewn to la o t b el s y er d v r rh n at to th t e h y e ar a e tm in m a ph e e o r n ic . dition to take advantage of that principle, it eventually be shown t u b e for the benefit of the undertaking.

Several advertisements having• of late appeared, headed "DIRECT NORTHERN RAILWAY," and having attached thereto the names of Sir John Rennie, Mr. Gravatt, Major Amsinc, and others, in which it is asserted—that by the Direct Northern Line the distance from London to York will be twenty miles less than by the line proposed by this Company—that the scheme to connect London with York originated with, and was first projected by, Sir John Rennie and Company—and that upwards of seventy miles of their scheme has been appropriated by the London and York Company—the Committee of Direction feel called upon, in ,justice to themselves and the shareholders, to give these assertions the most direct and unqualified contradiction. To the first they reply—that the difference In distance between the projected lines from Landon to York, instead of being twenty miles, is sot more than too miles and a half. Sir John Rennie's, by his own account being 180 miles in length—that of the London and York being in reality upon the line, as finally laid down, 18.51 miles. Whether this difference of five and a half miles can be realised by Sir John Rennie's line is yet to be proved, and, if realised, whe. ther such a difference would be compensated for by the London and York line having its course through the towns of Hitchin, Huntingdon, Peterborough, Grantham, Newark, Tuxford, Retford, Bawtry, and Doncaster, not one of which is approached by Sir John Rennie's line, the public will be able to determine. To the second and third allegations the Committee of Direction of the London and York Company reply, that while Sir John Ren nie and Co. state that their surveys were commenced in October, 1843, and their prospectus published in April last, the project for a new railway between London and York was formed by Mr. Gibbs in 1836, and in that year carried into Parliament. That in 1840 Mr. Gibbs again brought his scheme before the Parliamentary Commis. sinners, and it is detailed by them in their report of 1841. That such scheme was never abandoned by him, but in February of the present year the details of the London and York Railway, as now, with modifications adopted, were explained by him to Mr. Beckett Denison, M.P , who suggested several alterations, and Mr. Francis Mowatt, the Vice-Chairman, and arrangements were made for per fecting the plan by levels and surveys, which were completed in the month of March following, and on the 16th of April the project was announced by advertisement in the Times, under the name of the " Great Northern Railway," before any advertisement of Sir John Rennie had appeared : and the Committee of Direction dis tinctly affirm that the course over the first seventy miles from London was adopted on actual surveys made by Mr. Gibbs, and not suggested to them by any other parties; and they beg further to observe, it is only now within these few days, that after the Lon. don and York Company has been before the public for a period of five months, after its whole capital of five millions has been sub. scribed, and its shares has attained a high premium in the market, that Sir John Rennie and Company have come forward with what is intended to be a counter project, and with the mis-statements here disposed of. All comment upon this course would, in the opinion of the Com mittee, be idle. Subjoined, for the information of the Shareholders and the public, is an accurate table of the actual distances, and also a list of the Provisional Committee of the London and York Company, pub lished in May last, including names that will be taken by the pub lic as a guarantee against any such conduct as is implied by the as sertions of Sir John Rennie and Co.

THE NEW HALF-FARTHINGS. This new copper money, just coin'd at the Mint, Is something which furnishes many a hint. When we look at a coin so remarkably small, We're rather surpris'd it was issued at all ; But when we examine the facts of the case, We see how the new introiuction took place. No doubt such a thing was judiciously done, To accommodate dealers with MOSES and SON. You must know that vast thousands repair, ev'ry day, To purchase our clothes in such boundless display. And this is no wonder. For all will confess That we rival the kingdom in cheapness of dress. To the very " last farthing" our profits were brought, And if" that" were deducted, why we should have nought, But since the" half.farthing" is such a" good hit," E. MOSES and SON will the difference split. And the pub'ie shall purchase of MOSES and SON, Choice articles lower than ever they've done. As soon as we saw the small coin from the Mint, We were not at all backward in taking the hint. But wishing, at all times (as far as we can), To help in promoting a Government plan, We resolv'd, while we furnish'd with beautiful dress, To sell at the rate of a profit " still less;" And thus by " Half-Farthings" much good will be done To the numberless dealers of MOSES and SON.

ENLISTMENT OF PAUPER CHILDREN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. RESPECTED FRlEND,—Shortly after the publica tion of my first letter on the "Enlistment of Pauper Children," a conversation was reported in the ;Worn ing Chronicle, as having taken place in a meeting of the directors and guardians of the parish of Maryle bone on that subject, and to have resulted in an order that inquiry should be made whether their children had been enlisted for life, or for a term of years. I shall not now stop to remark on the conduct of "guardians" who could thus promote the "un limited enlistment" of their children, without first making themselves acquainted with the duration of the engagement into which, by solemn oath, the boys were about to enter ; but I wish to invite attention to the following petition, presented to the House of Lords by the Marquis of Normanby, relating to one of these Marylebone cases. Two weeks previously to its presentation it was read to the directors and guar clisms, in order to give them the fullest opportunity of denying any of its allegations. John Jackson called on me again yesterday, hav ing made a fourth journey to Chatham barracks (where his son still remains) ; he repeats his own and his wife's urgent request that every means may be used to secure the restoration of the boy to his family.—l am, &c., respectfully, } RED ERIC 28th of 9th ß m E month, WHEELER. 1844. To the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled; The petition of the undersigned Louisa Jackson and John Jackson, the mother and step-father of Frederick Jackson, a boy now in the depot of the 31zt Regiment of Foot, in Chatham barracks, Humbly showeth,— That your petitioners, being in very straitened cir cumstances, the aforesaid Frederick Jackson, their son, was permitted by the parochial authorities of St. Marylebone, after due inquiry into the case, to re main an inmate of their workhouse, and was allowed the privilege of . visiting your petitioners at certain times. 'That the said youth was, on or about the 16th of December last, enlisted, with six other lads, and sworn to unlimited service of the Queen 8.3 a soldier in the 31st Regiment of Foot, without the knowledge or consent of the petitioners, who consider themselves greatly aggrieved thereby; and that the youth was at that time only thirteen years and about eleven days old, as will appear from the memoranda attached to this petition. That during several weeks after the day of enlist ment the customary visits of the mother to the work house, or of the child to his parents, were interrupted by her confinement and subsequent illness, the father being, at the same time, employed in a brewery, where his services were required every day of the week. That on the earliest suitable opportunity the nurse wss sent to the workhouse to ask permission for the lad to come home for a few hours, which application was refused, without any explanation of what had occurred ; and that on several subsequent Sundays this application was repeated, both verbally and by letter, with a similar result. That the mother, being at length partially restored to health, applied in person to be allowed to see her boy, and then discovered, to her great astonishment and distress, that he had been for several week s a soldier in Chatham barracks ! That the mother then, by letter, addressed to Major Spence, and the father, by a journey to Chat ham, endeavoured to obtain the restoration of the lad to his family, but without success. On the contrary, that officer has intimated, in his letter addressed to the Secretary of the Marylebone Guardians, bearing date 15th of March, that "the enlistment is conclu sive," and that a sum of twenty pounds will be re quired to purchase his discharge. That your petitioners are in very humble circum stances, and have three other children dependent on them for support, and that the parochial authorities of St. Marylebone have declined to render them the redress they now seek. Your petitioners, therefore, implore your Lord ships to interpose on behalf of an injured family, and to take such measures as may be best calculated to effect the restoration of this child to his anxious parents.—Signed, April 12, 1844. LOUISA JACKSON. JOHN JACKSON. 27, Brown-street, Bryanstone-square. JUST JUDGMENT of CONFUCIUS. The affairs of government did not occupy him to such a degree as to induce him to dispense with his attention to the affairs of private individuals. He had appointed certain days in the course of the month to examine personally the causes of various kinds brought before his tribunal. On one of these days of public audience a person of the middle class came be fore him, accused his own son of having failed towards him in an essential point of duty, and begged him to visit the culprit with all the vengeance and severity of the law. Confucius listened quietly to all that the afflicted father had to say to him, and promised to examine his complaint at leisure, and to do him justice by punish ing his son severely, if he was found to deserve it. " However," added he, in conclusion, "as it may be that some part of the fault is yours, and that you yourself are blameable for not having instructed him in his duties, go to prison till I call you to judgment. shall arrest your 3on, and make a prisoner of him as well as yourself. Do not b e uneas y a b ou t th e sentence I shall pass; it will be all in your favour." The accuser and the accused were three entire months in 'prison without the judge giving the least symptom of his thinking about them. This, how ever, was far from being the case, and he was secretly as much interested about their dispute as if it had personally interested him. After the three months had expired, he summoned them both before him. "Of what crime," asked he of the father, " has your son been guilty towards you ?" " Of none," replied the old man. " Of what, then, do you complain ?" "Of a trifle, of nothing," answered the father. " I was angry when I came to complain of him, and I knew not what I was doing or what I was saying. I implore you very humbly to take no more notice of what I then said against my son." " I expected as much," said Confucius, good-na turedly, "and it was to leave your passion the time to exhale that I detained you three months in prison ; return home with your son, and live in peace. You, young man, never forget that filial piety is the first obligation which nature imposes on man. And you, my good man, instruct your son in his duties; this is what you engaged to do in giving him existence."— From the " Memoirs of the Life of Confucius," in Captain Pidding's Chinese Olio and Tea Talk, .No. 22. THE SOUTII WALES RAILWAY.—WE stated last week that a deputation from the Severn Navigation Commission, consisting of Mr. Pakington, M.P., Mr. Spooner, M.P., Mr. J. W. Lea, Mr. Leader Williams, and Mr. Waters, had an interview with the Earl of Dal housie, at the office of the Board of Trade. We are now enabled to state that the object the deputation had in view was the laying before the Noble Earl the objections which the Severn Commission had to the proposed South Wales Railway, the chief of which referred to the contemplated erection of a bridge over the Severn, for the purposes of the railway, and thereby impeding the navigation. On this subject, we understand that re presentations have already been made to the Great Western Company from Monmouthshire, and received with the greatest attention and consideration. Indeed, the effect produced by the statements and argaments against their projected plan was sufficiently strong to induce them to promise that the following surveys should be made by Mr. Brunel immediately. First, to ascer tain whether some point may not be selected on the River Severn, between Gloucester and Purton, for the construction of a bridge of such a character as not to impede the navigation in the most remote degree—and, from the passage thus effected, to strike through the heart of the Forest of Dean to Monmouth, Usk, and Newport. Secondly, in the event of this scheme proving impracticable, then to survey a line from Gloucester through the Forest to Monmouth—and also a line by Ross to Monmouth—and if these two lines should both be found incompatible with the maintenance of a rapid and profitable communication with Ireland, then, thirdly, to adhere to the line already proposed, via Chepstow, upon the assurance that everything had been done which could in fairness and good faith be expected to further the wishes and views advocated in this part of the coun try.— Worcestershire Chronicle. Mr. Duff, the Chairman, Mr. Bidder, the Engineer, and Mr. Parker, the Solicitor of the Norwich and Brandon Railway Company, had an interview yes terday with the Earl of Dalhousie, at the Board of Trade. RENTS.—The value of money having decreased (and will so continue), it is but just that landlords cf every description reduce their rents. Any landlord charging more than a fair rent is virtually picking the pocket of his tenant. IRELAND. MINISTERIAL POLICY IN IIiELAND. D rIII.IN, OCT. 2.—On Friday last an address from the Remonstrant Synod of Ulster, composed of the t ni tarian clergy who had seceded from the Presbyterian Synod of Ulster (now designated the Irish General As sembly), was presented to Lord Heytesbury by a depu tation, consisting of the Rev. Dr. Montgomery. Rev. Fletcher Blakely, Rev. W. B. Minniss, and Mr. K. G. Smith. I subjoin the address, with the important and very significant reply of his Excelleney:— " To his Excellency Baron Hey!esbury, Lord Lieutenant- General and General Governoi. of Ireland. " May it please your Excellency,—We have the ho nour to approach you, on behalf of the Ministers and Elders of the Remonstrant Synod of Ulster, specially as sembled, to offer our most respectful congratulations on your Excellency's appointment to the chief government of Ireland. " Our satisfaction in making this customary homage to the representative of the most beloved Sovereign who ever swayed the sceptre of these realms, is greatly en hanced by the consideration that you occupy your pre sent exalted position in consequence of the distinguished ability and prudence so long displayed by your Excel lency in other lands, in discharging the delicate and im portant duties of high offices connected with the honour and interest of the British empire. " We should feel ourselves guilty of deep ingratitude, did we not also declare that we approach your Excel lency with still augmented satisfaction, as a nobleman en— joying the confidence of her Majesty's present Ministers, to whom all the Nonconformists of these countries are so largely indebted for the late extension of the principles of justice and toleration, in passing taro Dissenters' Chapels Bill, and to whom yvuourselves axe under special obligations fur the peace and security in which we now enjoy those most valued properties, transmitted to us by our ancestors, or created by ourselves, for the promo tion of what we humbly believe to be ' pure and un defiled religion.' " As lovers of our native land, and all its inhabitants, we rejoice to believe that your Excellency brings to the arduous task of governing a population of mixed races and creeds, the invaluable qualifications of sound consti tutional information, great political wisdom, an earnest desire to administer exiSting laws with scrupulous im partiality, and a , full determination to recommend such conciliatory changes and improvements as may tend at once to secure the peace and prosperity of Ireland, and to confirm the integrity and power of the United Kingdom. The people of this country are proverbially fond of justice,' and pre-eminently s ens ibl e o f ki n d ness —b ot h o f which your Excellency's established reputation assures us they shall abundantly experience at your hands ; so that, under the blessing of Divine Providence, your Ex• cellency may enjoy the delight of beholding confidence superseding distrust, affection displacing alienation, and the chaos of religious and political strife settling into the organised forms of social harmony.and national prosperity. "For ourselves, we unhesitatingly rely upon the con tinuance, by your Excellency, of that equitable and impartial attention to our civil rights, as a church, which we have uniformly experienced from your Excellency's predecessors in the chief Government of this country ; and, on our own part, we pledge ourselves to the conti nued use of our best exertions in promoting loyalty to our most gracious Sovereign, obedience to the laws, and the extension of mutual forbearance and good-will amongst all classes of our fellow-subjects. "Signed at Belfast, this 24th day of September, 1844, on behalf the ministers and people of the Remonstrant Synod of Ulster. " W. B. MINNISS, Moderator. " FLETCHER BLAKELY, Clerk."

THE hard substance obtained by pressure from the Crude Cocoa-Nut 011, is an essential Ingredient In the PA TENT COMPOSITE CANDLES ; and, as EDWARD PRICE and CO., hold the Patents for this process, and grant no licenses under them, it follows, either, that the imitation Composite Candles are entirely different from the l'atent ones, or, that the imitators are Infringing the Patents : the first is generally the case, but to protect themselves against the possibility of the -other, EDWARD PRICE and CO. hereby engages to pay a reward of Fifty Pounds to any workman or other person, who may give such information respecting parties pressing Cocoa-Nut Oil, as shall lead to their conviction. The name of the informant will be kept strictly secret, and he need not take a prominent part in the proceedings, as all that E. P. and Co. require is the first clue to the discovery of the infringers, whien they will then follow up for themselves. This advertisement Is being pub lished in every newspaper of any circulation in the United Kingdom. The Candles are Pow so wellknown to the Puislie, that it is hardly necessary to state hero that they burn more brilliantly than the best wax, and give so large an amount of light, as to be cheaper, taking this into account, than the commonest Tallow Candles. They may he had of most of the respectable Tallow Chandlers throughout the kingdom ; but purchasers must Insist on being supplied with "PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES," otherwise they are liable to be deceived with some of the imitations, all called, like the real ones, " Composite." Those parties, really in the trade, who do not yet keep them for sale, are informed that they can purchase,.pf the Pa tentees, or of Palmer and Co-, Sutton-street, Clerkenwell, any quan tity, large or small, at tho wholesale price ; and that allowances are made in an increasing ratio, to parties taking to the amount of 501., 1001., 1501., or 2001., at a time; and it very large allowance indeed to parties taking so large a quantity as to enable them to become whole sale agents for an entire district. Belmont, Vauxhall, 24th July, 1844. of Ulster. " Gcntlemen,—l have received with much satisfaction the address with which you have honoured me, on my assuming the Government of this country. " The flattering expressions it contains, with respect to my services in foreign countries, demand my warmest acknowledgments ; and I am no less bound to state my conviction, that her Majesty's Ministers will derive the highest gratification from the assurance you convey to me, that the Nonconformists of these countries con sider themselves largely indebted to them for the late extension of the principles of justice and toleration, in passing the Dissenters' Chapels Bill, and for the peace and security in which they now enjoy those most valued properties, transmitted to them by their ancestors, or created by themselves.' " As regards myself, Gentlemen, you may be assured it is my earnest desire 'to administer existing laws with scrupulous impartiality, and with a full intention to re commend such conciliatory changes and improvements as wry tend at once to secure the peace and prosperity of Irellnd, and to confirm the power and integrity of tht United Kingdom. " Happy, - indeed, shall I be at the close of my admi• nistration to find, as you aro pleased to predict, confi dence superseding distrust, affection displacing aliena tion, and the confusion of religious and political strife settling into social harmony and national prosperity.' "Your patriotism, Gentlemen, has always been un doubted ; but I hail with gratitude the pledge you now offer, of your continued determination to contribute, by every means in your power, to promote loyalty to our most gracious Sovereign, obedience to the laws, and the extension of mutual forbearance and good-will amongst all classes of your fellow-subjects.' " IIEYTESBURY." THE FATAL EXPLOSION AT THE HAS WELL COLLIERY. The adjourned inquest on the bodies of the sufferers was resumed on Wednesday. The whole day was oc cupied in taking the evidence of Hobert Thompson, the master wasteman of the pit, whose evidence corres ponded with that given on the previous day. He said— The ventilation of the mine could not have been im proved, neither,. in his opinion, could anything more have been done to prevent accident. And Thomas Emerson Foster, the viewer of the colliery, having given similar testimony, he said—" I have no ohjection to any other viewer in the coal trade. Am not aware that Mr. Mathias Dunn was ever in any way connected with this pit." Mr. Marshall said he might recal to the notice of the Coroner that he had stated the owners had no objection to any one the Coroner and jury might appoint. Mr. Foster resumed—My reason fur objecting to Mr. Dunn is an apprehension—not from a private pique he has to me—he might do an injury to the owners. Thinks Mr. Dunn could do me no injury by examining the pit, as proposed, if he told the truth. Mr. Dunn has been a viewer. lie is a practical viewer. If I might observe, he has unfortunately had too many serious accidents in the mines under his charge. Mr. Roberts said, " a burnt child dreads the fire," on which the Coroner remarked that he should allow of no such observations. Mr. Roberts repeated the expression, and persisted in making other improper remarks, on which the Coroner ordered him out of court, but, on promising to conduct himself properly, he was allowed to continue the cross-examination. Mr. Foster—Thinks it would be more satisfactory to the living, and the friends of the dead, if persons chosen by themselves, without reference to any pique of mine, were allowed to examine every part of the pit. It is in the hands of the coroner and jury whether they think it necessary for Mr. Mathias Dunn to examine the pit or not. If they say he should, I have no objection. Should the Government determine to appoint inspectors of mines as of factories, I should have no objection myself, but I do not consider it desirable. By Mr. Marshall—Am not of opinion that the in spectors appointed by Government could have done any thing to secure the safety of this mine that I have not done. Have no reason to believe that there was any neglect on the part of Williamson, the deputy, who was killed, to cause this explosion ; on the contrary, I be lieve him to have been a very careful man. At the conclusion of this evidence the room was cleared, and the jury having consulted togeth er , agree d t o ad journ ,till :Wednesday, next week ; and it was deter mined that the coroner should request Mr. Nicholas Wood and Mr. George Hunter to examine the mine in the interval, and report to the jury at their next meeting. Mr. Roberts applied for Mr. Mathias Dunn to be ap pointed, but the jury did not consider it necessary to in clude him. Mr. Roberts put it to the coroner several times, who at last gave a positive refusal ; he intimated at the same time that Mr. Dunn might, if he thought proper, accompany the gentlemen appointed by the jury. The inquest was then adjourned.

No. 163266. ,/~ SHIPWRECK OF THE WINDSO - R ----' CASTLE STEAMER. On Tuesday, the Windsor Castle, an iron steamer, plying between Edinburgh and Dundee, left the latter town at the same hour with her Alejesty's yacht, having about two hundred and fifty passengers, the greater part of whom had come from Edinburgh with the steamer that morning, in order to witness the embarkation of the Queen. The Windsor Castle is a small steamer, originally built for the river naviga tion of the Clyde ; and the number of passengers that was on board completely crowded her deck. She sailed repeatedly round the royal yacht previous to starting. When the royal squadron cleared the es tuary of, the Tay, they stood out to sea, while the Windsor Castle, which was, as might be expected, soon left behind, stood right across the Bay ('f St. Andrew's, for the Frith of Forth. For some tim e a ll • went well; the night was fine, and the weather calm, the wind blowing gently from the north-west ; and in the centre of St. Andrew's Bay, which is generally considered the roughest part of the navigation, on the east coast of Scotland, the sea was so smooth, that a number of the passengers commenced dancing on deck. This continued for some time, till the dancers, wearied with their exercise, desisted. The royal squadron being now nearly out of sight, most of them went below. Matters went en in this quiet manner till about half-past seven o'clock at night, when a dark of ject was seen looming directly in front, and not twenty yards distant from the vessel; this was at once ascer tained to be the Can Rock Beacon, a mark of warning to point out a dangerous ledge of rocks running from the land a considerable distance out to sea, and the extreme point of which is marked by this beacon. Instantly the word was passed to stop the engine, and then to back it, and as instantly the word was obeyed, but far too late for safety, the vessel surged onwards and struck the beacon on her larboard bow, when she reeled back and heeled on her beams as if stunned by the b'ow. Then began a scene of the deepest agony and de spair. For a minute, indeed, all was hushedin silent consternation, and we believe the general feeling was that all was over, and that she would go down in stantly. But as the vessel glided off inside the beacon, and still held on her course, the whole magnitude of the danger rose to the view of the passengers. From the darkness of the night no land was to be seen, and the minds of all on board ap peared to be made up to meet death in the coure of an uncertain but very brief period. It would have been interesting for a spectator, could one have been found sufficiently abstracted from his own fate, to mark the various fce!ings manifested by his fellow. passengers, varying as they did from the highest point of moral heroism to the extreme of pusilanimity. Several ladies, of whom there were many on board, behaved with the greatest fortitude; clustering to gether on the quarter-deck, they calmly appeared to await the fate that might betide them. But the great majority gathered amidships, uttered the most piercing shrieks; and one lady in particular, throwing herself on the deck, rolled from side to side in the intensity of her agony. Nor were the male sex more abundant in moral courage. Several gentlemen howled as fran tically as did the ladies, most of them grasped the pieces of wood that lay on the deck, in the hope that if the ship should sink, they might support themselves by these means. Two men in particular stripped themselves to the shirt, prepared to brave the last ex tremity by swimming. One cry was unanimously made to Captain Greig, the master of the steamer, to run her ashore. The Captain loudly assured the pas sengers that there was no danger—that she was per fectly tight ; at the same time he immediately gave orders to the helmsman to get as close to the land as possible; and in a short time the land, which was only about three-quarters of a mile distant, though from the darkness of the night it could not before be seen, began to appear on the starboard bow. This and the loudly-repeated assurances of safety on the part of the captain, appeared for a time to calm the majority of the passengers; but others who had gone below forward, returned and assured their compa nions that the ship was fast filling, and in a few mo ments more this truth began to be frightfully.appa rent, the ship was settling fast, and the water in the hold, surging from side to side of the vessel, caused her to threaten every moment to turn on her beam ends, which we believe was only prevented by the passengers, running to the one side as the vessel heeled over on the other. Still the vessel was gradually approaching the land, which was now close at hand, and did not appear to be very inviting. The land is here low but rocky, with sharp ledges running diagonally out to sea, and to run upon these appeared to be cer tain destruction to the vessel. Still t:s the night was fine, there was every probability, that if she grounded at all, she would hold together till all the passengers could be landed. The running rshore, however, was still a matter of uncertainty, for it appeared, though this was not known to the majority of the passengers till afterwards, that the water was c ;ming in fast, that there was great danger of the engine-fires being put cut. Some moments of intense anxiety then passed; the vessel was evidently settling; her way was greatly slackened ; and the lurchings were every moment more tremendous, when fortunately her keel at last buched the bottom between two of the ledges of rock of which we have spoken, and the steam was immediately let off. All danger was now felt to be passed, at least among those of the passengers whom tear had not altogether deprived of judgment; hut still there was a general cry, especially among the women to be set on shore. This, however, was a work of considerable diffi st,hueltyo.n only t m t e u a r n n s ed t i o m u t t i t ) d a t beenthe o p n r l3 o , m b i o s i e lt d n i n b L r e d — of accident, to save the lives of about 250 people—was a small stern-boat, which, when now brought into action, was only capable of t a ki ng as h ore s i x pas sengers at a time ! Fortunately, the calmness of tl e night, and the settled condition of the stranded ship, had by this time restored nearly all the passengers to their senses ; and when the boat was brought along side, the cry of "the ladies first ashore," was at once attended to.. One man was, however, landed and dispatched to Crail, a fishing town about two miles to the south, for other boats ; and in the course of about an hour, three large fishing boats were alongside, and conveyed a great number of the passengers on shore. Still there were about fifty left on board ; who, after waiting for some time for the return of the boats, which was longer than was expected, resolved to reach the shore over the bows of the vessel, which was now left dry by the receding tide, so that, in one way or another, the whole of the passengers got safely to land in about an hour and a half after the vessel had struck, and about two miles from the scene of the collision. The vessel continued under way, after the shock, for about twenty minutes. Arrived on shore, the male passengers made their way, on foot, to Crail, where they were hospitably received by Mr. Merson, the minister of the parish ; Mr. Webster, the parish schoolmaster ; Mr. Dickson, of the Golf Inn: and by every other inhabitant that could spare a bed for their accommodation. The ladies were mostly accommodated for the night in the farm houses near the place where they came ashore, parti cularly by Mr. Crombie, of Kilwinning, under whose house the vessel came ashore, Mr. Tod, of Balcombie, and Mr. Morton, of Craighead. We understand that the vessel went to pieces next morning. Two faults in this wretched business were very apparent. The first was, that no look-out had been kept at all. The Can Rock Beacon is familiar to every navigator of the Fife coast, and was passed in particular by this vessel twice every day. Nothing, therefore, but gross negligence could account for the vessel running upon an object so conspicuous in itself, and marking rocks so dreaded by mariners. In fact, the Windsor Castle had no business inside the Can Rock at all. The next fault was in having no pro vision for saving life on board. The boat which was produced was unworthy of the name, and would inevitably have been swamped, had it been resorted to at sea. The loss of life from the want of boats has been so dreadful in former instances, that it is sur prising the public do not insist on steamers carrying something like a respectable amount of accommoda tion for passengers in the shape of boats; and failing the public, it is surprising that Government do not interfere. It ought thto conduct bacldedoi the nheconelio thatG captain, is the son of the proprietor, w as distinguished coolness and activity.-1 1 forning Post.

The frame is now half completed, and it is expected will be finished by the end of the year. This noble vessel will be larger in dimensions than any other ship ever built in the world, and seven hundred tons more than the Trafalgar, at present the largest ship in the British navy. Sir George Cockburn and Admiral Sir William Gage inspected the building yesterday morning, and both gallant officers expressed in warm terms their admira tion of her appearance. - This ship is being huilt on a new and improved system, and in a stronger and firmer manner than any other vessel which has been constructed. 34 0 33 10 33 10 31 q
