He saw the Prince of Wales coming down the IDf~eiea the morning of the accident, at the rate of about twelve an hour, and making a very heavy swell. Witness had been 1-4it.aitited with the river 35 years, and considered that it was not e for any st eam vesse l to go down that part of the river at the tate O ng of miles an hour. If the Prince of Wales had been about five miles an hour, in the opinion of witness, the l a ttit would not h ave occurre d. Cross.o: examined by Mr. BODKIN — Witness believed that the J 1 of the Isle of Thanet helped that of the Prince of Wales, but t the Swell of the latter vessel was sufficient to sink the boat. k_Oecrge Maddox, an inspector of the Thames Police, also corro "'rated the evidence that had been adduced. toss - examined C h at -examined by Mr. CLARKSON —The proper rate for steam s to go down the River was about five miles an hour, but they p era tlY went much faster. Could not say that he had ever seen a r . f the Members of the Corporation go down the River in Z" M •vessels at the rate of ten or twelve miles an hour. — (Laughter.) never seen the Lord Mayor go down the River in a steam. ' l et at all.—(Laughter. ) Other witnesses were called, who gave similar evidence as to the ',Went and its causes. T he Secretary to the London and Margate Steam Packet Corn who Was called on behalf of the prosecution, in his cross-exa krtion, stated that the prisoner was a careful, steady, and sober and had proved himself an excellent servant to the Company, 4;aise property the steam-vessel was. Witness had never heard of I / co mplaint on the part of the Corporation of London of the rate i2hich their vessels went through the River. All the steam. 1 a Went at the same rate. s i LlPtain Fisher stated it to be his opinion that the course 6red in the present instance to unmoor the Culloden was a most sj t° Per one, and one that he would never allow to be pursued to sorYteissel under his command. He had known the prisoner for Ole arg, and always considered him an experienced captain and careful man. l u hls closed the case for the prosecution. son 7 Ctsaxson then addressed the jury on behalf of the accused, w l , e , r4l ioe that it bad not been proved that the swell of the Prince sirs steam-vessel alone had caused the melancholy deaths that 07:ctaken place, and that therefore he could not be found guilty of so h ," laid to his charge. No one regretted the occurrence soh," than the accused, and no person, as he should be able to Was amore careful or sober captain.

BY THE AUTHOR OF " THE IMPEOVISATORE.''—We extract the following from the - . Literary Gazette of this day. It contains one of the highest eulogiums ever paid to any work of fiction :—" What we thought of " The Improvisatore" is vouched by several numbers of the Gazette, in which we paid our tribute of applause to the originality and genius it displayed. And now, having read little more than the first of " 0. T.," we cannot resist the wish to tell the public not to wait for next week when we may point out some of its at- ...... - - _ . tractions, but at once procure one of the most interesting works which has issued from the press for years. Its pictures of Danish life are most natural and most admirable; its illustrations of super- stitions, its descriptions of scenery and external objects, its touches of truth in character and incident, its exquisite drawing of children and children's minds, its naïveté and lively and sallies, its world wisdom and Imaginativeness, all briefly set before us, as if in flashes of light and intellect, possess so entire a charm, that we do not for a moment hesitate to say that this is a book which will afford the utmost gratification to every class of readers, and deserve a place among the most sterling works of fiction that ever were produced. Fredericka Bremer must look about her now ; for the Fates have ordained the appearance of another greater' than she, and the lite rature of Denmark will hardly bring forth a third greater still.' In short, this is a very delightful book ; and we feel certain of many _ _ thanks the sooner it is in the hands of the many friends who follow our advice in the choice of their reading."—Literary Gazette.

The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. At Liverpool Assizes, on Thursday, an action was brought by a workman in a factory at Wigan, to recover one month's wages in consequence of his being discharged without notice. The case was of some importance, as it would regulate the decision to be given in many other cases of the kind. The plaintiff and others in the same factory had " struck," though not for wages. The plaintiff tailed to make it appear that the custom was to give a month's wages or a month's notice, and he was accordingly nonsuited, IMPORTANT TO NEWSVENDERS.—CONTRAIACTORY LAW.—On Friday, in the Court of llequeSts, KingSgate-street, a case came before the Commissioners tbr adjudication, in which a news vender summoned a person tOr a small sum for "reading" the various newspapers.

Mr. CominisKioner Dubois—Then you cannot recover, as you have been minty of a gross fraud upon the Stain!) °nice in letting the newSpapers out for hire. The plaintiff — But he was hi the habit of coining to my shop and seeing them. Mr. Commissioner Dubois—That does not matter; it is a fraud upon the Stamp-on - ice, and you render yourself liable to an indictment being laid against you for it. The defendant did not deny that he owed something., but from the dictum of the Commissioner in the first instance, " that the plaintiff could not recover," thought it would be his province to dismiss the case, This, however, was not done ; and in opposition to his previonS opinion that the defendant was not bound to pay a debt coutructed under illegal circumstances, the Com missioner ordered the defendant to pay the inll amount claimed. A PALPABLE REASON.—Is the Duke of Richmond president of the A.nicultural Association and a feeder of fat cattle ? Yes.

The adjourned debate in the case of the Raja of Sattara, was resumed this morning at ten o'clock, at which hour Sir Henry Willcock, the Chairman, accompanied by the Directors, entered the Court, when he found his place already occupied by a Mr. Peter Gordon, and that Mr. George Thompson had taken his seat within the bar. Both gentlemen refused to quit their respective positions, upon which Sir Henry Willcock said that if Mr. Peter Gordon did not vacate his seat he would send for the officers and have him turned out. Mr. Tnomesox thereupon declared that the Court of Directors bad a right to elect their own chairman, and the present course had been adopted in order to maintain that right ; but to show that he did not wish to offer any factious opposition to Sir Henry Willcock taking his usual place in the court, he would now move that Sir Henry Willcock do take the chair. Mr. PETER GORDON seconded the motion, upon which Mr. Ilona rose and said that he trusted the court would repu. diate the motion altogether. Sir Henry Willcock had a right to take the chair in that Court ; he being the legally appointed chairman not of the Court alone, but of the Hon. East Inuia Com. pany, he trusted that no further obstacles or impediments would be thrown In the way. If there should, he should at once move that the Court do now adjourn. Sir H. Wfm.cocx then said, pointing to the Chair—By virtue of the right which I legally possess, I now call upon the officers of the Company to expel that gentleman, Mr. Gordon, from the Chair. Two officers approached and put their hands upon Mr. Gordon for that purpose, Mr. Gordon hereupon left the chair amidst a scene of confusion such as was never before witnessed in this Court, and which lasted for a considerable time after, several Directors and Proprietors speaking at the same time, Mr. G. Thompson's voice being heard above all the rest. The CrUIRMAN at length took his seat, and said that as the ex traordinary occurrences of the day must lorm the subject of legal proceedings elsewhere, he trusted that the debate would now be allowed to go on without further interruption. Mr. LaWts then rose and addressed the Court in &tont of the resolution, and was left speaking when 'oft reporter left‘ SUNDERLAND, AUG. 21.—During the. past week the weather lout beets extremely wet, with frequent thunderstorms. The river has been much swollen, and, from the quantity of fresh water, it is evident that the rain which has fallen to the west has been considerable. The corn crops in the immediate neighbourhood are laid, and in many instances have been seriously damaged. Tlie crops of potatoes are extremely good, and as to-day a material change for the better has taken place in the weather, there is a reasonable ground OA believing that the harvest will not be, on the whole, so Unfavourable in this district as was expected by many. Ott Monday evening a heavy gale sprung up, which continued, with slight litter• missions, mull Wednesday.

MAYENCE, Ave. 18.—Her Majesty left this morning for Wurzburg, at seven o'clock, in a carriage and four, followed by her suite in two other carriages, and escorted 2 % by a party of Prussian Lancers. The royal party expect to arrive at Wurzburg at about eight o'clock this evening, but it is probable that they have not sufficiently calculated on the slowness of German postilions. Salutes were fired as the Queen left, and there was a slight additional bustle in the streets. Her Majesty and suite dined yesterday at the Government — house with Prince William of Prussia. They left at nine o'clock, and returned to their hotel. In the afternoon, at three o'clock, 5 the royal party attended Divine service in the Protestant Church. 6 The Rev. Mr. Dunnage performed the service. A day or two may elapse after the publication of this communication before any further account of hor Majesty's progress can be received in London. - - COWES, ISLE OF (PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE. The sailing matches here, which have been kept up with great spirit, have closed for the present ; that between the Heroine and the Secret is put off till next week. The one that surprised every one was the handicap, when the Alarm, supposed to be the fastest yacht in England, was beaten, fairly beaten, in her own town breeze, a good stiff one too, by a small yacht of little more shed at than 30 tons—the Heroine. All nautic al men are perfectly aston • it—it has caused quite a revolution in their ideas: weight for - inches, time for tons, is at an end; not a word more about supe ' rior size must have it. It is said this vessel is on a new principle ; that the foot of her sternpost plumbs with her running tackle, and that though so small she draws 12 feet water ! The town is thinning fast; the Marquis of Anglesey and family - leave this day and to-merrow. Mr. Hallifax left Egypt House - yesterday, and within a few days many others will be off ; there is generally a change at this season of the year, when numbers resort here for the bathing months (September and October). The royal children are still at Osborne House—that is, we sup. - pose so, as we have not heard of their departure ; but they are as - little spoken of or heard of as if they were not in the island :we - may almost say, " Oh, no, we never mention them—their names are never heard." Her Majesty is expected to return to Cowes on the 10th of _ September. A great number of workmen are employed ; those - who knew Osborne six months ago would not know it know. ARRIVALS. Aug.

Last evening a meeting took place in the large room of the Leather Market in the Borough, for the purpose of promoting the election of Sir W. Molesworth. The Hon. Baronet, who was pre sent, entered into a lengthened statement of his principles, which appeared so satisfactory, that the meeting agreed to a resolution, pledging itself to support Sir W. Molesworth as a candidate for the representation of the borough. Among the gentlemen who ad ' dressed the meeting was the Rev. Mr. Aldis, who stated th thatbut he was a Dissenter, and wa s o pp osed to the grant to Maynoo l ; although he was so, and although the Dissenters of that loca ir lity : were likewise opposed to that grant, they would still vote for S - Wm. Molesworth. He knew Mr. Miall well. He was an able - man, and a gentleman of great respectability and undoubted th . talent. Still he felt himself compel led to vote for Sir W.

A meeting of electors of the borough favourable to Mr. Filcher was held last night at the Bridge House Hotel, London-bridge. Mr. PILCIIER, who was present, declared himself in favour of free trade on the most extended principle, and opposed to the alaynooth grant, because he considered it opposed to the princi - pies of Protestantism. In answer to questions of different electors, he said lie wou ld oppose any grant of public money for Church 27s extens:on, and that he would not support the Ballot. Ile was l% asked if he would support Mr. Villiers's annual motion for a re peal of the sorn.laws. Ile replied that he should not 'like to be sent into Parliament shackled. The question should have his fullest consideration and most careful attention, and he should act in a manner which he thought most conducive to the interests of the whole country. Free trade was but a question of time, and ere long be was persuaded it would be carried into effect. He con. sidercd Sir Robert Peel was only considering the best and safest method of carrying it into effect.— (Cheers ) A resolution was then proposed to the etPct, that Mr. Filcher -- was a fit and proper candidate to represent the borough in Far. liament. The resolution was then put to the meeting, when about one-half held up their hands for it. On the contrary being put, there was a strong show of hands. The Chairman decided the re _. solution to be carried. The remainder of the business, comprising a vote of thanks to the Chairman, was gone through amid considerable uproar and opposition, when the meeting separated, but not before a great _ portion of it had given three cheers for Sir William Molesworth. liowics, AUG. 2l..—The Duke of Northumber lan wbicli d arrived from Leamington at AlnivicX tins evening at six o'clock, GCCUicil Vaiqpiaa from cattle tlred A taiute. - 21,4 _ ..... -I-- I -7- - I - I :7.. -- I - I 17 :ii 16 - 11 X •-• -I = I i 653 814 6,483 878 532 367 3,052 6,339 - 1041 -- 51,1 1 - - 165. p - kle - 11 6%1- 17 2:!6p 1 5%' 8 2s6d Ills P - 1 113 p iP; - • - ;% 1 26 i3pl, -7 6%p1 427 1,836 5,469 6,235 LATE COLLIERY EXPLOSION. DUDLEY, FatnaY Moenteo.—Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the Rose and Crown Inn in this town, before Mr. Robinson, Coroner, upon the bodies of James Northwood, John Northwood, Samuel Hingley, Edmund Evans, William Holmes, and Edward Fletcher, six of the unfortunate colliers who were killcd by the explosion of flre.damp at the Tividale works on Mon 4a' Die *Mitt Orate this i.::.!astrous calamity occurred belong to Messrs. iisigsis t ft and !iicidmore, and are situated at TiVidate, about a mile and a half trotii Dudley; Before the men descended into tire pit it was usual for the ci6gge" tn examine the chambers of goolleries Of the works with a " Davy lamii, ll telt on Monday morning this duty was trans ferred to a young man 'larded Hateley, who enjoyed the perfect con • fldence of his fellow-workmen. About six o'clock the miners (24 in number), after one of them had inquired whether or not all Was right, descended the shalt, and, with three exceptions, pl'e• ceeded to wcrrk, Three other men, one of whom was Hately, finding that the ground was fully occupied, returned to the mouth of the pit, with the intention of taking their turn of duty at night. The men had not been at work many minutes when three terrific reports were heard, and a body of flame rushed along the passages, where the IS men were at work. Of these 18 men eight are already dead, and eight not expected to recover. The scene is described by one or two of the survivors as truly awful. In the first instance, great blame was thought to attach to the conduct of Hateley, but the jury acquitted him of any criminal mis conduct. It appears, however, to be pretty generally believed, that he inadvertently forgot to try the chamber over the " boat-hole" where the explosion took place, else it is scarcely to be believed that in so short a time after the men commenced work so large a volume of foul air Catild have accumulated in that position. The first witness called was Jantes Cartwright, who deposed as follows am a miner, and work in a mine at Tivldale, belonging to Messrs. Wagstaff and Skidmore. I have beets In their employ but a few months. I pre. vlosely worked in Lord Ward's mines. At six o'clock on Monday morning I went to the pit's mouth and went down with the second band. James Hateley and some others went down in the first skip. It was the duty of Hateley to go down every morning and search the pit for gas with the safety-lamp. On Monday morning, as usual, David Skidmore, the " butty, " told him to try the work, and be went down. When I reached the bottom I found Hateley with the lamp in his haud. I asked him if he had tried all the places. He said he had; he could find nothing where he had tried. He then unscrewed the top of the lamp, and I told him to put it on again, and try a hole in which I was going to work. We both went in together; he went in with the lamp, while I Mt at the entrance. lie returned in a few minutes, and said he could find nothing. I asked him repeatedly if he had tried every place. He said he had. He then went up the shaft. The reason of his leaving the pit was that he had nothing to do. Only three could work at holeing. The rest of the men were filling skips about 30 or 40 yards from me. If Hateley had remained below he would have been idle, I myself had gone with Hateley near to the part where the explosion took place; we could not find any gas there; this, as near as I can tell, was about 15 minutes before the explosion occurred. When the sulphur went oft' I was working a good way from the other men, and 1 think we were at work only a few minutes before the explosion was heard. It made a noise like the roaring and rushing of wind. I saw the flames cowing towards me mixed with smoke and duct, The wind blew out the candles, and before the flames reached me I threw myselfdown on my face and escaped with a alight singe of Ina , eye. I was insensible for a short time after the flame had passed me, and lay for a few minutes, When I got up I could scarcely stand, the sulphur was so strong. I groped my way to the bottom of the drawing shaft and got a little fresh air. When 1 felt recovered I returned to search for my comrades. The first I found was James Northwood. He was lying on his face. I asked him to get up,:trut he said he could not, I raised him up as well as I could, and his skin peeled off in iny hands, I staggered out with him and returned for more. I found Buxton next. He crawled upon his hands asid knees; he is still alive, thank sod. The others I assisted to get out, but it was a long time before we could search properly, because the sulphur made us so weak. Three horses were burnt. I remainedi in the pit until the last. I have been a miner 30 years. lam now 60 years old. I think the usual means were taken to prevent gas from collecting. James Hateley was appointed to examine the " works " by the " butty," with the consent of the pit's company. It is the duty of the" doggy" to do this, but we had every confidence in Hateley. We all placed our lives in his hands. I cannot tell how the gas ignited. My opinion is that such a body of foul air could not collect from the time Hateley said he had examined the works to the time the ex. plosion took place. I think he must have forgotten to search one chamber. James Jukes, an old man who has been a miner the greater part of his life, deposed that he had seen sulphur gather in half an hour. He was once burnt by an explosion that took place from gas which had gathered in as short a time. The explosion now inquired into did not take place until about eight o'clock. Cartwright must be mistaken in saying that it took place a few minutes after they descended. The Commas; here remarked that there was one part of the evidence to him by no means satisfactory. If the men were not working near the spot where the explosion took place, how did the gas ignite ? It appeared that the men who had been the principal sufferers were engaged in loading skips at a considerable distance from the chamber over the "boat-hole," and he should like to know how the gas came in contact with the candles. A gentleman in the room here handed a note to the Coroner, who then said that the information he had just received in some measure removed the difficulty. The note stated that he (the writer) had that morning waited upon Buxton, one of the sufferers, and found him lying in great agony. The surgeon had just told him to prepare for death, and with this prospect before him, he said that John Northwood and several of the other men went from the skips to the chamber, where the explosion took place, to put in a shot. They had just stuck the candles in some loose coal when the sulphur caught, and he was struck down. He said something also implying censure on Hateley. The CORONER NOVI observed that if the jury thought any more light could be thrown on the matter by an adjournment, he would willingly concur in that arrangement. The jury intimated that they were satisfied with the evidence adduced, and returned a verdict of Accidental Death. The CORONER impressively cautioned Hateley us to his future conduct. The bodies of the other men lie in another parish and county, and will consequently come within the jurisdiction cf another coroner. DREADFUL COLLIERY EXPLOSION. SOUTH SHIELDS, FRIDAY MORNlNG.—Yesterday evening in formation reached this town that an explosion had taken place at . an early hour in the colliery at Jarrow, a small mining village on the river Tyne, and about two miles from South Shields. It was reported that about one hundred men were down the pit at the time of the explosion, and that these, with the exception of some men who were at work in the Bensham Seam, bad perished. This report naturally caused the greatest sensation throughout the district. Owing to the confusion and excitement which prevails it is ex tremely difficult to ascertain minute particulars. The accident took place about two o'clock yesterday afternoon, at which time ninety men and boys were at work. The explosion commenced in the low seam, and its cause it is as yet impossible to ascertain. The Davy lamp and candles were used by the miners. The brat tice having been blown down by the explosion, the current of air was destroyed, and upwards of forty individuals perished from the after-damp. The greatest efforts have been made to bring the bodies to bank, but up to this period (eght o'clock) only four have been brought out. The pitmen made almost superhuman exertions to rescue their fellow-men, and one noble-minded fellow, an over man, named Jacob Defty, lost his life from the after-damp, in at. tempting to save the lives, or to extricate the bodies of his com rades. A great number of men are now employed in restoring the brattice, and it is expected that during the day all the bodies will be brought out of the pit. This colliery has been in operation since 1804, and is under the superintendence of Mr. Joplin. Drewitt Brown, Esq., who re sides in the neighbourhood, is the proprietor. (FRO)t A CORRESPONDENT.) NaWC►STLE.ON.TYNE, Amon' 22.—1 t is again our painful duty to record another of those dreadful calamities which so fre quently take place in the coal mines of this neighbourhood. The direful catastrophe occurred at Jarrow Colliery, near South Shields, on Thursday afternoon, at about two o'clock, and having just re. turned from the spot, the best account of the number who have perished by the explosion, as far as it could at that time be ascer. tained, is about forty men and boys, six of whom had been got from the pit, and four of them dead. The rest cannot as yet be brought out, seeing that the blast had broken down the brattice or wooden partition that divides the shaft into two compartments. It appears that two scams of coal are being worked by one shaft, viz. —the Bensham seam and the low main—and from the best informa tion I could gather, the explosion must have taken place in the low main; but not being very well assured of the manner in which it did occur, I refrain from stating anything hypothetically, bat shall not fail to make due enquiries, and forward them accordingly. The bodies of the other unfortunate sufferers will riot be got out before to-night or to-morraw morning. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT. TEN MEN DROWNED. (From the Caledonian Mercury.) DUNIIkR. —A most distressing catastrophe occurred here yester• day (Wednesday), by which ten individuals have been drowned, The Red Rover fishing boat, of Buckhaven, with a crew of six men, William Thomson master, in taking the old harbour, about mid-day, was driven among the rocks and totally wrecked. Three of the crew were instantly drowned. The master got on to a rock and was saved. His brother reached a small rock, near the iron pole, which is surrounded by deep water, and covered at full tide, against which the sea was fearfully breaking. Many fruitless at. tempts were made to rescue him. As a last attempt, Lieutenant Wylde, of the Preventive service ; Mr. Lucas, chief boatman, with four seafaring men belong to the town, whose names were David Darg, Peter Darg, William Miller, and Wil. Liam Clement, volunteered their services, and, in a fishing boat, boldly ventured out. They had nearly reached the rock when the poor man was washed off, but he kept up for a short time, and neared the boat. The crew had almost succeeded in catching his hand, when a sea struck the boat and drove it among the rocks behind the pier, where, melancholy to mention, it was dashed to pieces, and the whole crew drowned. The object of their solici. tude was carried to sea, and met the same fate. It is distressing to think of the extent of affliction which this fearful even: has occasioned. Lieutenant Wylde, Mr. Lucas, Peter Darg, and Wil. Liam Clement, were married men, and all of them except Mr. Lucas, have left families. The two former were excellent seamen, and much respected in Dunbar. The state of excitement and gloom which this melancholy occurrence has occasioned among all classes is very great. It is not known what caused the Red Rover to attempt Dunbar with such a fearful swell in shore. She had not been fishing there for some days, and not more than six boats belonging to the station had ventured to the fishing ground on the preceding evening. It is thought that she was well fished, and from the circumstance of few Dunbar boats being out, expected a more ready market for her cargo. ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

Vol. Li previous notices of this work we have already indicated our opinion of its merits as a companion to the Dispatches of Wellington and Marlborough. We need not delay, therefore, to characterise it again. The lime occupied in the present volume is about twenty months—from January, 1798, to Auguet, 1799. The contents, the edite,sr remarks, " illustrate, perhaps, the most important, as wei; as most interesting, events of Nelson's life—the first of his brilliant victories, and the only transaction in his professit;nal career to which blame has ever been attached." The victory was that of t he Nile ; the doubtful transaction was the trial of Prince Caraccioli, followed by the execution of that aged man. There is no occasion here to repeat whathistory has traced upon her adamantine tablet—the details of the defeat of the French fleet in Aboukir Bay, on the Ist of August, 1798. Nelson's own dispatch, announcing the triumph, occupies a single page, but Sir H. Nicolas has very judiciously prefaced it by a more explicit narrative from the pen of Sir E. Berry, Captain of Nelson's own ship, the Vanguard—an account which particularly interested George the Third and the Duke of Clarence —by the log of the Vanguard, by letters from several of his cap tains, and by the official account which the French Ad miral Blanquet drew up. Such materials make the fullest and most satisfactory narrative yet submitted to the public. What more particularly has struck us is the fact that Nelson achieved his victories under circum stances of comparative difficulty. The winds, and even the tides, sometimes baffled him. Now, with steam to place a fleet completely under command, it would seem as if nothing could resist our arms at sea. Yet, whether through carelessness or ill-judged economy, our naval force is not what it might and ought to be. Steam has made our naval force manageable beyond what the wildest dream of fancy could have anticipated 20 years ago; but, if the occasion should unhappily ari,e, might we rest assured that victory would so ccitainly grown our arms as when Nelson had command? Every inao who fought wader him, had a conviction that defeat was iavossible ; and perhaps this was the secret of his success. Con , sidering our insular position, the best defence of Engie.nd is to be found in her " Wooden Walls," and the Execu tive shoulA be mindful of keeping these unimpaired; for to be ever prepared for war is the best way to insure the continuance of peace. Sir Harris Nicolas defends Nelson from the grave charge of cruelty in the case of Caraccioli, publishes all the letters and other documents written by his Lordship on that and the preceding events, and puts into an appendix all collateral documents. In all of these he forms an opinion much more favourable to Nelson than has hitherto been entertained, —namely, that he acted only in obedience to a scrupulous sense of duty." The facts are very simple. In the summer of 1799 the French were driven out of Naples. Some of them, with certain Neapolitans who had joined them, and borne arms against their Sovereign, placed themselves in the Castles of Uovo and Nuovo. Cardinal Ruffo proceeded to invest those castles, arid Captain Foote, of the Seahorse frigate, with the Perseus bomb and the Sicilian evadren, speedily joined him in that service. An armistice followed, and the invested forts capitulated immediately After, the terms being that " persons and property, both moveable and immoveable, of every individual of the two garrisons, should be respected and guaranteed," and trot not only the said garrison, but the Neapolitans who had taken refuge with them, should be conveyed to Toulon. But Cardinal Buffo's instructions from the King of the I .l:Yvn Sicilies were that he should not treat with the rebels. Nelson came up. He believed that an armistice, and not a capi tulation—a preliminary, rather than a conclusion—had been made, and, acting for King Ferdinand. decided that the capitulation should not be carried into effect without the royal sanction, and this he grounded on the fact that he (Lord Nelson) had arrived with a superior force Wore the capitulation was even begun to be carried into effect. Cardinal Ruffo protested. Nelson insisted, and took the castles. The garrisons and the Neapolitans with them became prisoners. Caraccioli, a noble Neapolitan, had joined the rebels, and com manded the Republican gun-boats that had tired upon the Minerva, bearing the King's flag. He fled from one of the besieged castles after the capitu lation, but a day or two before Nelson's arrival ; he was taken prisoner—brought on b ,ard an English ship of war—tried there by a court martial of Sicilian officers, convened by Nelson's warrant—convicted of treason in having borne arms against his sovereign—did not claim any protect;on from the capitulation—was convicted—sen tenced to death—and executed, by Nelson's warrant, as naval commander-in -chief. Sir H. Nicolas adds, " Lord Nelson's motive for ordering the immediate execution of Caraccioli is unknown ; but the magnitude and notoriety of his crime, and the supposed necessity, from the state of Naples, of an immediate example, seem the probable cause." It does rut appear that Lady Hamilton urged Nelson to severity in this case—indeed, it seems that ho was impelled by a sense of duty. But it is a serious question whether the capitulation, once made, should not have been carried out, even though contrary to Nelson's own belief of the King's wishes And instructions. The letters from Nelson in this volume are highly cha racteristic. The postscript of one of them contains the ancit nt creed of a British sailor: " Their is no way of dealing with a Frenchman but to knock him down. To be civil to them is only to be laughed at, When they are,enetnies." In the appendix, already referred to, is part of a journal kept at Naples, 1798-9, by Miss Knight, daughter of one of Nelson's captains. We subjoin a few pas- sages :-- " He says, that when he was seventeen years of age, he worr 300/. at a gaming-table; but he was so shocked at affecting that, had he lost them, he should not have known how to pay them, that from that time to this he has never played again." When Admiral Nelson's arm was cut off, the surgeon asked if he should not embalm it, to send it to England to be buried; but he said, ' throw it into the hammock, with the brave fellow that was killed beside ma'—a common seaman." " As we were going in the Admiral's barge, the other day, looking at the ships and talking of the victory, Sir William Hamilton could not be pacified for the French calling it a drawn battle. 'Nay, it was a drawn battle,' said the Admiral, ' for they d.ew the blanks, and we the prizes.' " The Queen has desired to h ave a portrait of the Admiral. Little Prince Leopold says , he w ill get a copy, and stand con tinually opposite to it, saying, ' Dear Ne lson, teach me to be come like you. " In another passage, alluding to Nelson, whom she first saw after the battle of the Nile. she says, "Admiral Nelson is little, and not remarkable in his person either way ; but he has great animation of countenance and activity in his appearance : his manners are unaffectedly simple and modest." A no ther volume, we presume, will conclu de this work, which really forms almost an autobiography of Ne!sou. CRIMINAL COURT.-(FRIDAY.)

In reference to the case of this prisoner, who was Lied on Thursday with a person named Thomas Parker, who was charged with utteting one of the forged instruments, and which was reported in our paper of ; esterday, it should be stated that the verdict of guilty only applied to the prisoner and .Aungier.

Two English vessels were forced from their anchorage and driven ashore, and a sloop from Newcastle, bound for Rouen, with coals, went down near Lcure. The crew was saved in the boat. Au English schooner, from Caen, laden with stones, went down in view of the town, and the crew, who had taken refuge in the rigging, owed their safety, in a great measure, to the exertions of M. Lernotheyer, the lieutenant of the port, who, on the first alarm, proceeded to the jetty, and had the lite-boat launched, proposing a reward to any persons who would man it. six English men at once offered to proceed to the assistance of their country - men, on condition that a French pilot would accompany them. A young man, named Lefebvre, immediately offered himself, and the party rowed to the wreck. They succeeded, though not without great danger, in rescuing four sailors and the captain, whom they brought sate to land. A little sloop, with two men on board, was capsized near St. Adresse, and one of the men was drowned. The other was taken up, when nearly exhausted with swimming, by a lishing-boat.
