LOSS OF THE WILLIAM TURNER, OF BEL FAST, AND LOSS OF LIFE. On the morning of Saturday last intelligence reached Carnarvon, that a large ship had, on the pre vious night, during the awful gale that was then raging, gone to pieces in the bay. Immediately upon receiving the information, J. Hughes, Esq., C nnp troller of Customs, and the officers under him, manned the Queen's boat and proceeded to the spot, when, we regret to say, they found the report to be too true. Pieces of the wreck were strewn along the beach for miles, the entire shore between Abermenai and Lland dwyn exhibiting tokens of the disaster, amongst which were spars, stores,seamen's chests, and namblerless frag ments of furniture and materials. There was also seen a large long-boat, keel up, which when turned over was found to have in it another boat or pinnace, but there was no name o n e ith er . Th ere were also on the shore the larboard and starboard quarters of the ship, with quarter galleries, chains, and lanyards, appa rently cut with an axe. Nothing else material has been picked up, except a cat-head and the figure head ; but every exertion, we learn, is being made by Mr. Edwards, postmaster, to save everything be longing to the ill-fated vessel as it reaches the shore. It is scarcely possible for a wreck to be more fatally complete. From the name on the medicine chest and other sources we learn that the vessel was called the William Turner, belonging to Belfast, 488 tons register, Geo. Evans, master, and that she was homeward bound from Ichaboe to Liverpool, with a cargo ofguano, which is entirely lost, not a vestige of it remaining. It is our painful duty to add that not one creature escaped alive. What may have been the number of human beings who perished on this occasion we have no means of knowing, and it will probably be some time before the truth will be accurately ascertained. The crew would most probably amount to from sixteen to twenty in dividuals, including the master ; and there might have been passengers, as well as the complement of hands belbnging to the ship. One of the bodies, a lad about fifteen years of age, dressed in sailors' clothes, and deeply pitted with the small-pox, was washed ashore on Monday, near Llanddwyn, and we shall, most likely, hear of the remainder in a few days. The keel, and part of the hull of the ship (visible from Lland dwyn) are on the spit of the South Bank, in about four to five feet of water, at the lowest ebb, which warrants the assumption that the vessel must have struck sometime about five or six o'clock on Friday evening. The wind at that time was from the south-west blowing a hard gale. The pilots at Llanddwyn, and the people at Lord Newborough's Fort, and at Abermenai, neither heard nor saw any thing until the following merning, which is remark able, for the weather was not very thick, neither was it dark at five o'clock on Friday, so that the ship might have been seen for miles, ere she struck on the bank. It is useless to form conjectures as to the cause of this disaster, and the course of the ship into the Bay. Whether the captain mistook Bardsey Light for the South Stack or the Skerries, and, there fore, steered accordingly, or whether the ship had previously become unmanageable, or had been swept down at anchors, is a matter which can never be ascertained.- One thing is certain, that the gale on Friday night was not from a quarter which would cause disasters, and drive vessels into Carnarvon Bay under ordinary circumstances, therefore some other reason must be assigned for the unfortunate and melancholy catastrophe. FURTHER PARTICULARS. One of the crew of the Eliza Scotland, which vessel sailed from Ichaboe before the William Turner, and arrived at Li mer i c k on the 4th, came here on Wed nesday, by the Dolphin steamer, and states that the William Turner must have had about 30 people on board. A bible has been cast ashore, in a very mutilated condition, in which is the following address :—" John Nicholls's book, given him by the Rev. C. Grinfell Nicklay, April the 29th, 1842." The following communication relative to this wreck has been forwarded to the Rev. T. Thomas, vicar of this parish, and by him kindly forwarded to us, in order that public attention may be drawn to the de scription • .„... _ MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. OBSERVER. —It may be conceded as a favour able indication of the rising prosperity of the country that the purchases of the Government brokers on account of the savings-banks, is a feature not to be questioned, as exhibiting the resources of the middle, and we may truly say, no small portion of the lower classes. In all districts of the United Kingdom where savings -banks are now formed (and the establishment of other similar most excellent institutions is in rapid progression), the deposits are, we believe, without ex• ception, in a ratio far exceeding the withdrawals. When, too, it is recollected that those gradual accu mulations of resources, the fruits of honest and per severing industry, are periodically transferred to the Commissioners for the Savings Banks, and by them laid out in the purchase of Stock, not much wonder need he excited at the present high values paid for the Public Securities. And, notwith standing the " Reduced" Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have scarcely been so firm this week as previ ously, owing to some sales for temporary purposes, yet, at the termination of business yesterday after• noon, a value equal to 4f per cent. above par was most willingly paid. If, as it is very currently believed, the Chancellor of the Exchequer intends to attempt a reduction of the Three per Cents. Reduced in the cours of the forthcoming session of Parlia ment, how fortified will he be by the result of the last conversion. Figures speak for themselves. At about the period when it was pretty hell known that Go vernment intended to reduce the Three-and- a-Half per Cents. to the present rate of interest their quota tion was about 102. For some time past —say from the commencement of the present year—the Three and-a-Quarter per Cent. Annuities have reached. within a fraction of per cent. above par. Among the more prominent articles of foreign pro duce imported into this country, and which may, with the utmost truth, be said to be interwoven with the domestic economy of the mass of the population of the United Kingdom, is that of tea. In the more distant ports of Great Britain—in Liverpool—in Bristol, &c., a movement has long since been made to impress upon her Majesty's Ministers the policy —nay, the absolute nesessity—of an important reduction in the duties upon the leaf. At the eleventh hour the influential merchants connected with the trade to India and China have held a meeting—a private one, to which the trade only were invited—at the Jerusalem Coffee house, and at which there was a pretty full attendance. The resolutions passed were in accordance with those which have previously been sanctioned in the pro vinces. But in the opinion of many, it would have been much the wisest course to have called a public meeting on the subject, and then a memorial to the Prime Minister would have received the signa tures of the mass of the tea-drinking public of the City and elsewhere, in favour of the concession,which is asked for on the part of her Majesty's sub;ects. If a reduction of the duty to Is. the pound were to be made, it is the opinion of competent judges and of practical men, that, with the rising prosperity of this country, the consumption would be so far increased, as to leave but a small deficit in the duty under this item of revenue, at the end of two, or at the utmost of three years. An immense boon would thus be yielded to the poorer classes, and golden opinions be formed of the administration of Sir Robert Peel, under which many important concessions have been already made to popular feelings, by the new tariff. Such is the competition of the traders now, that were the duty to be lowered to the point referred to, i. e., Is. per pound on teas all round, the millions would have the full benefit of the reduction of the duty. As so much is said and written upon the eve of the new Parliamentary campaign, relative to conflicting claims for a reduction of duties, it is very fairly a matter to bring prominently before the attention of every patriotic Member of the House (who, without being wedded to particular crotchets, or trammelled by particular interests, sincerely desire the welfare of his country). How great might be the advantage of simplifying our tariff, by striking off a multitude of minor articles, which bring but an unimportant sum in the aggregate towards the revenue, and yet lead to an enormous expense in collection relatively to pro ductiveness ? Thus, about five hundred articles could be struck off, to the great relief of trade, and with a loss of only about half a million sterling. -- 7 ._ ,Si Op R LI II I , - .A, ILE and-ITEER,Ns.:4-laN to SOUTHEASTERN I - R I F - O E R A D SLE i R r A N .

TO THE EDITOR OF " THE SUN." Sir,--The interest which you evince in Railway matters, induces me to take the earliest opportunity afforded, of making publicly a brief commentary on, or rather correction of, a passage in the leading article of the "Railway Times" of to-day, devoted to a dis cussion of the merits of the Lines to York. This article, aliliongh written generally in a courteous spirit towards the Direct Northern Line, has the following sentence :—" The Line, it seems, is to join the Great Northern a mile and a half beyond the City of York, for the purpose of avoiding deten tion—a ;nighty convenience this to the ~aid City of York, which is to be so greatly benelted by the Line!" lam aware that this remark has, in all probability, arisen from the language of the statement recently put forth by this Board of the " case and merits of the Lino," which, on my attention being now brought to it, is not specific on this point, for, after stating that the Line will reduce the distance between London and York to 1761 miles, and that collision with the traffic of the York and North Midland Railway is avoided by carrying the line by a bridge over that Rail way, it has certainly been omitted to state the fact, that the conve nience of York City has been duly provided for by the intended for mation of a New Station close to the existing turnpike-road at Stickle gate. This station, which has always been part of the plan, is in fact a material feature in it, in order to avoid the detention and confusion which would otherwise occur at York, from the use of the present station there, with its other multifarious traffic. The object of the Junction with the Great North of England Railway, at the distance of a mile and a half from the City of York, is to carry on in the most direct manner the Northern and Scotch traffic. I have forwarded this correction to the editor of the " Railway Times," but as the same cannot appear in that paper until next week, I am desirous immediately to obviate the impression which the article in question must otherwise convey to the public, and, there fore, I shall be obliged by your inserting this in your paper of to-day. I am, Sir, your very obedient servant, WILLIAM AMSINCIC, Secretary. .kTIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR,- ANCE SOCIETY, 26, CORNHILL, LONDON. Capital £500,000. Empowered by Act of Parliament.

PROPOSED MIDLAND COUNTIES AND Clrt• VALLEY Ju - Neale:sr.—A meeting was held in Ashb:/- la- Zouch on Monday last, to promote the formation 0 : ' 4 r branch railway to connect the Midland Counties with the proposed Churnet-valley line, by means of part of the Leicester and Srvannington Railway. The proposal is, to commence ar Broughton (between Leicester nod Rugby), proceed to Desford, continue on the Leicest r and Swannington to a point about four miles from Ashby, and carry the line thence to Will ington. on the Bir mingham and Derby line, which is one of the termini of the Churner-% alley route. This route would be the nearest that could be planned between London and Manchester, and will render the distance between the two about 170 miles. Its advantages to Leicester would be greater than at first sight they may appear to be, since, by the oontemplated junction, that town might be made the thoroughfare through which the traffic be tween the manufacturing and agrieultnral parts of England would be carried on, by means of the proposed railway from System to Peterborough to the eastward. At the same time, Leicester would be within a three hours' ride of Manchester. A chain of communica tion would thus be established between the purely agri cultural, the mixed agricultural and manufacturing, and the exclusively manufacturing districts of the country. — Leicester Chronicle. BISHOI.STOKE AND SALISBURY.—The Hampshire In. , dependent states that, so far from there being any inten tion on the part of the South-Western Railway Company to abandon this line, the contracts for die works have been taken and will be immediately commenced. DORCHESTER.—The Town Committee for promoting the carrying out of this line of railway, met at the Audit House on Tuesday, when a communication was received from Lord Charles Wellesley, M.P. for South Hants, in reply to an application from the Committee, appointing to meet them at Southampton on the 24th instant, and hear their views upon the advantages of the proposed railway. His Lordship has hitherto abstained from giving the least clue to his sentiments upon a subject in which his constituents are so greatly interested. A com munication from Mr. Castleman was &so received, stating most positively that the line was intended to be carried round the shore to West Quay, and that the terminus would be as near the pier as possible. The Provisional Committee were willing to give any further guarantee of their intentions in this matter that might be required, pledging themselves to carry the line to the spot indicated, unless compelled to abandon the in tention by Parliamentary interference.—Hampshire In dependent. SOUTH DEVON.—The tenders for 24 engines —sixteen of 33 inch cylinder, or about 45 horse power, and eight of 12 horse power —were received in the early part of the week at Exeter, by Mr. Brunel, and the authorities of the South Devon Railway, which is to be worked on the atmospheric principle. The contracts were taken by Messrs. Boulton, Watt, and Rennie ; the amount from 40,000/. to 50,0001. The principal Cornish engineers and founders were in attendance.— Western Times. THE WEST YORKSHIRE.—The West Yorkshire Rail way will pass over nine of the public streets of Bradford. The Bradford Board of Surveyors, however, are cf opi nion that the interest of the public' will not be injured by the proposed undertaking, and have unanimously agreed to assent to it.,—Leeds Mercury. BIGGLESWADE EXTENSION.—The Hertford Town Council has expressed its dissent from the proposal of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, to extend their line from Hertford to Biggleswade.—Hertford Mercury. Mr. George Stephenson, C.E., has lately been spending a week with Sir R. Peel, in company with some scientific gentlemen. BIRMINGHAM AND GLOUCESTER AND BRISTOL AND GLOUCESTER AMALGAMATION TERMS.—The Birming ham and Gloucester capital to remain as it is. The Bristol and Gloucester to create as many new 504 shares as will capitalize their loan notes and debentures to be paid up upon as the loan notes and debentures become due, and by equal proportions, extending over five years. Until paid up a deduction from the sham of the profits to be made at the rate of 4f per cent. per annum on the amount not paid. The profits in other respects to be divided between the two companies, in the ratio of their mileage, that i., taking the Bristol and Gloucester at 283- miles ; and the Birmin g h am an d Gl oucester at 53. The shareholders in the Worcester and Wolverhampton line to be guaranteed by the combined companies 5 per cent. on their shares, and 5 per cent. on calls during progress of works. Arrangements are nearly concluded for laying down the rarrow guage between Bristol and Gloucester, hereby preventing the ruinous inconvenience and expense now caused by differently gauged rails. LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM AND LONDON AND YORK LINES.—A report having gone abroad that the London and Birmingham will not oppose the London and York, we can state, on the best authority, their determinatian to do so.—Herapath's Journal. REVENCTE.-It now appears that the traffic of the last six months of 1844, on the thirty-eight principal rail ways of Great Britain, amounts to three millions and a quarter or more—exactly 3,264,450/. This traffic has been carried on 1,522 miles of railway, and 234 miles of branch lines, making in all 1,756 miles. This revenue is 450,0001. more than the corresponding half of last year. It is chiefly owing to the improvement in the trade of the country, and only slightly to the increase in ex tent of lines opened to the public. It represents an im provement of nearly ten millions in the value of the railways of Great Britain since the commencement of 1844. This revenue amounts to about 4,0001. per mile per annum, of which let us take 1,600/. for working expenses, and we have 2,400/. per mile per annum for dividend, in dicating a market value of 48,0001. per mile, at twenty years' purcha se . Th e tota l sum available this half-year for interest and dividends will be about two millions, giving, for the value of all the important lines of the country, at twenty ,years' purchase, a sum of 80,000,0001 But as many of the lines are worth more than twenty years' purchase, and as many small lines are not in cluded in this estimate, while some are in course of construction and not open for traffic, it may be near the truth to say that at the commencement of 1845 we start with a national property in railways worth not less than one hundred millions.—Railway Chronicle. FRENCH LINES.—The surveys have commenced with activity on the Boulogne line. It is decided that only one line of rails shall be laid down at first, although the land will he purchased, and the works executed for two. Within two years it will be opened. The Rouen Railway produced, during the past year, 256,1401; and the Orleans, for the same period, 263,970/. The two Versailles companies have come to terms to amalgamate and demand the concession of the line from Versailles to Chartres, and a new Compa n y w ill b e f ormed; the actual shares of ! the two will be exchanged, on certain terms, for shares in the new company.—Railway Chronicle. Several of the brokers connected with the provincial Shares-markets have issued their annual circulars, and these disclose some useful statistics, showing the progress of the majority of lines in full operation. The circular published by Mr. Greaves, of Liverpool; states that the total increase in the traffic of twenty-two railways for the six months just ended, compared with the corres ponding period of last year, has not been less than 321,4021., the only decrease being that of 1601. on the Glasgow and Greenock line. The particulars of the increase are as follows:—" Birmingham and Gloucester, 19,9911.; Chester and Birkenhead, 2,4511; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 2,7521.; Glasgow, Paisley, and Ayr, 6,6311.; Grand Junction, 14,8441.; Great No r th o f Eng land, 10,752/. ; Great Western, 61,5801; Liverpool and Manchester, 19,7251; London and Birmingham, 18,4131.; London and Brighton, 15,9121; London and Croydon, 5,1264; London and South Western, 6,6901; Manches ter and Birmingham, 10,8871.; Manchester, Bolton, and Bury, 4,083/.; Manchester and Leeds, 36,0991.; Midland Company, 38,8771; Newcastle and Carlisle, 8,2361.; North Union, 16,4891.; Preston an d W yre, 2,9644; Sheffield and .Manchester, .5,0841; Ulster, 1,283/. ; and York and North Midland, 10,5231." Mr. Hall, of Liverpool, in his circular, takes a com parison of thirty of the oldest and most important rail ways, and his statement gives an increase of value of stock, during the last year, of 28,695,479/. over the amount of capital laid out, the former being 85,554,0811, and the latter 56,858,692/. It appears also, from the same document, that the only railways which have fallen in price are the London and Birmingham, and the Glas gow, Paisley, and Greenock. The Birmingham and Gloucester ; Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr ; Great North of England ; Newcastle and Darlington : Sheffield and Manchester ; and York and North Mid land, have risen above 50 per cent. in their value during the same period. The highest prices of Birmingham shares were those curren t i n t h e mon th o f J anuar y, when quotati ons range d f rom 23 7 to 2 43 ; an d th e l owes t those current in th e mon th o f O c t o ber last, when the differences between the Birmingham and Grand Junction Companies see me d lik e ly t o p ro duce strong opposition on certain branch lines brought before the public. In that month they fluctuated between 216 and 212. "It N ET - .rle DANGEROUS ILLNESS OF LORD FRED. BEAUCLEOL. We lament to state that the Rev. Lord Frederic& Beauclerk, uncle of the Duke of St. Alban's, is lying ire a very precarious condition, at the family residence in Lower Grosvenor-street. His Lordship's illness has caused the most serious anxiety to Lady Frederick Beauclerk and the immediate connections. We under stand that on Thursday morning last, his Lordship, on being called at eight o'clock, his usual hour of rising, and not answering, the servant entered the room, and, to his astonishment, found his Lordship on the floor, ire a fit. The domestic had the presence of mind to raise his noble master on the bed and immediately gave alarm to the establishment, when Dr. Chambers and Mr. Hicks were promptly iu attendance , on the noble patient. It was then satisfactorily ascertained that his Lordship was suffering from a paralytic attack. An express was directly forwarded to Lady Frederick and family, who were at St. Michael's Vicarage, near St. Alban's, and in a few hours her Ladyship accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Beauclerk, arrived in Grosvenor-street. We regvet to hear the use of the right side is entirely gone for the present, and that his Lordship still labours under the want of the power of speech. Hopes are, however, en tertained for his recovery. DISAPPEARANCE AND RECOVERY OP A 3001. BANK NoTE.--The following circumstance, we are told, has caused some sensation :—A young gentleman from the old-established banking-house of Sir John Lubbock and Co., pas requested, in the course of his out-door duties some few days ago, to make a payment of 300 i. at Messrs. Hoare and Co.'s, in Fleet-street. In order, it is presumed, to save time, he called there en route west ward, and requested Messrs. Hoare's cashier to have the receipt for the money ready for him on his return, at the same time tendering, or rather, as it would appear from the sequel, intending or imagining that he had tendered the money. Upon calling shortly afterwards for the re ceipt, Messrs. Hoare's clerk intimated that it was ready for him upon payment of the amount. Thus, while the youthful out-door representative of Sir J. Lubbock and Co. stoutly persisted that he had already paid the money, the other as positively denied the fact. Such was the unpleasant position of the matter, and it was ultimately deemed advisable to stop the payment of the not. at the Bank of England, and to put forth an advertisement with the offer of " a handsome reward." After the lapse of two days, we are told, an out-do or c l er k from the West-end branch of the London Joint stock Bank presented himself at Messrs. Hoare and Co.'s, with the missing note, stating that he had picked it up be tween that house and Messrs. Child's. The restitution of the money, it may be said, is abundantly satisfactory. —Sunday Times. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.— The lessee has re turned, we find, from Berlin, and has had the gratifies. tion to learn that his theatre has been crowded every night during his absence. The immediate object of his visit to that capital was to witness the performance of Meyerbeer's last grand opera, " A Camp in Silesia, in which Mademoiselle Lind has made so great a sensation. We understand that Mr. Bunn has positively made ar rangements with Meyerbeer for the produetion of his opera in London, and has likewise concluded an engage ment with the cantatrice. A grand ballet is likewise in preparation, in which the charming Mademoiselle Maria, from the Academie Royale, Paris, will appear. METROPOLITAN DRAPERS' ASSOCIATION.—A public meeting was held on Friday evening at the Islington and Pentonville Literary Institute, forthe purpose of hearing a lecture by Edwin Lancaster, Esq., M.D. F.L.S., upon the evils resulting from the protracted hours of labour so frequent in drapers' establishments. The Lecturer reviewed the subject in all its bearings. He dwelt with great force and eloquence upon the deterioration of character which must take place in a human being. whether viewed in reference to his moral, physical, or intellectual faculties, if exposed to this pernicious system. The various portions of his subject. which admitted of it he illustrated by diagrams, and he con cluded with a strong and eloquent appeal to all present to use their utmost efforts for the extirpation of a system so injurious to society at large. The attendance was numerous and highly respectable, with a preponderance, as there should be, of the fair sex. THE FIRST GENTLEMAN IN EuxoPs.—The Earl of Malmesbury, who went to Brunswick with instruc tions from George 111. , to demand the Princess Caroline for the Prince of Wales, gives the following character istic account of their first meeting :—" I immediately notified the arrival to the King and Prince of %jos ; shroertitraledotmoean moment alone , part the last came immediately. I, according to the eats, Wished etiquette, introduced (no one else being in th e room) the Princess Caroline to him. She very . promly, in consequence of my saying to her it was the right mode of proceeding, attempted to kneel to him. He raised her (gracefully enough) and embraced her , said g roun d, this H arris, brandy.' I said, l of s t m he n a o p t ar w t e m ll e ; n p t, re a y nd ge c t alli m n e g a m g e las to s h of im, said, Sir, had you not better have a glass of water ?' I b h ar e e r ly nn on c e es w L ord le , ft t d u u rn ri ed n which he, much out of humour, said, with en I will go directly to the Queen,' and away' be went, in a state of astonishment ; and, my joining her, said, Mon Die u ! est ce que l e Prince est toujours comme eels ?

Suddenly he raised the piece, and, taking deliberate aim, fired.

The amount of the 5 per cent. stock is six millions of florins, and may be increased to seven millions. The operations are to commence on the Ist and 15th of February this year.

The accounts ft om all parts of the kingdom state that the ice is everywhere breaking; in some parts the rivers are quite clear, and navigation is re sumed. It does not appear that any particular acci dents have occurred. BERLIN, JAN. 11.—The provincial assemblies of the Rhine provinces of Westphalia and Brendenburg are convoked for the 9th of February. We hear, from various quarters, of coercive mea sures to be employed against Hanover by the Zoll verein, unless that kingdom should be induced volun tarily to join the Great Customs Union. We have already spoken of this matter. At present report goes so far as to affirm that the plan is not only to impose higher duties on Hanoverian ships in Prussian ports, but also to impose higher import duties on all articles coming from Hanover, which will be equiva lent to a total prohibition of them. It is asked, in deed, whether such coercive measures are justifiable, so long as Hanover is an independent State, and must know best how to promote the interest of its people. To this it is answered, that Hanover should not so obstinately oppose the general national interest of Germany, and that it must thank itself for the dis agreeable consequences of its obstinacy.
