The plaintiff is a cheesemenger, in Lambeth, and the de fendant, a baker. in the York-road. The action was brought to recover the sum of 51. 65., for Irish butter supplied to de fendant. A witness was called who estimated the value of such butter in February last at 50s. per cwt. Some of t} .e jury considered the valuation too low. The SECONDARY said the jury could only go on the evi dence, for it they did not, their verdict would be set aside ; they must not go on mere surint.e, or do an act of injustice for the sake of a few shillings.—Yerdiet for the amount claimed. observations upon the conduct of the Vaintiff be Learned t oun.el called upon the jury to dismiss such a ca.- with the ignominy it deserve.t, and he concluded by emir .sing der opinion. that if the jury were to g ive heavy damag-. under such circumstances, it would not only tend not to a vance morality. but that it would hold out a pusitive price un principled persons to neglect the education of their children ' and to make a market of them. Mr. Justice COLE KMO r having summed up, The jury, after deliberating about ten minutes, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 5001. MIDDLESEX SESMIONS. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge, and a Bench of Magistrates.) Janet Smith was indicted for having fraudulently obtained the sum of 10s. 6d., the moneys of Geo. Stonehouse Griffiths. Mr. Wilde conducted the case for the prosecution, which was at the instance of the Mendicity Society. It appeared from the testimony of Mrs. Griffiths, who stated her place of residence to be No. 4, Burton-crescent, that on the 23d nit. the defendant had come to her house about eleven o'clock in the morning, when she told her that her father had called on Mr. Griffiths, at his office, on the preceding Satur day, and that he was known to that gentleman, whilst she her self had been known to Mrs. Griffiths at the time she was ha the sex vice of Sir Charles Forbes in Fitzroy-square. At that period Mrs. Griffiths also lived in that square. The de fendant then proceeded to say that her father was in ex pectation of receiving pecuniary assistance from Mr. Grif fiths, and that he was at that moment ill in bed, and, of course, was unable to call upon him ; that he was in arrear at his club, of which he had been a member and subscriber for several years ; and that if those arrears were not paid by a given time, he would be a loser of any benefit from that society. Having concluded this story, she then requested the loan of 10s. 6d. to enable her father to pay up these arrears. Mrs. Griffiths thereupon inquired how it was that she had not made an application to Sir Charles Forbes, when the girl re plied that her late master was from home, and was at Kensing ton, on a visit to his son, and that if Mrs. Griffiths would have the kindness to make the advance, the sum should be repaid out of some money she had to receive shortly from the club, after the payment of the arrears, on her father's account. This promise. however, was not performed. but the defendant came again and applied for another loan. Mrs. Griffiths upon this gave a sovereign to her servant, desiring that she should accom pany the girl to the club, and then, if upon inquiry she found her tale to be true, to give her the money. The inquiry, how ever, led to the discovei y that the whole of the statement was fabricated, and therefore the sovereign was handed back to Mrs. Griffiths. The officer of the Mendicity Society said that he had known the defendant for some time as a begging impostor, and further more that he had had her in cu.tody on a previous occasion. The jury found the defendant Guilty. The Learned JIDOIL then sentenced the defendant to six months' imprisonment in the House of Correction. The other cases which were disposed of were destitute of any feature et public interest. POLICE iNTELLIGENCE. ROW--S I HEFT. FRAUD ON A GAS COMPANY.—Mrs. Mann, landlady of a public-house in Dean -street, soh'', and Iri/liarn Newman, a gas fitter, were summoned, the latter for laying a pipe into the h. , use and premi-es of the forme; def. ndant, which com municated with the pipe belonging to the Equitable Gas Com pany, without their knowledge or consent, and which continued se to remain for forty-one .:ays. which subjected them, under the sth Vic., secs. 2, chap. 36 (local), sec. 162, to 40s. for each day. Mr. Humphries appeared on behalf of the complainants, and Mr. Child for the female defendant. Mr. Humphries said that in the month of February last the female defendant contracted with the company, after which a meter was placed upon her premises, with a quantity of . burners, according to the plan produced, from which it ap peared that the gas was supplied trom the main pipe in the street, communi-ating with the meter in the house, through other pipes. There was another pipe marked red in the place, running from the legitimate pipe, which was surreptitious. and which formed the subject of complaint. On the 3d of May, something occurred in the house adjoining the Jefendant's house, which caused a man to tie sent by the Company to take an account from the index, and having shut up the pipe, he found that the gas still passed to the meter, which he communicated to the Company, in consequence of which the house was watched, and it was then discovered that from the day in question, till the lath of June, lights were in full play to the number of eighteen. The female defendant being apprised of the circumstance, she immediately went to the other defendant, who applied to another company, who I ordered persons to attend on her for the purpose of taking her , orders ; but, being put in possession of the fact, they declined to take any such order. It was manifest that the surreptitious pipes had existed about forty-one days, the penalty for which would amount to lat., although the object of the Com pany was not severity, but that the public should know that the parties committing such acts rendered themselves liable to severe punishment. Mr. Child said he was instructed to plead guilty on the part of his cheat, and he hoped the Court would be lenient, as the male defendant had acted without her knowledge, and, although the burners were increased, there was no increase of gas consumed. The defendant was then ordered to pay a mitigated penalty of 201., with costs. The defendant Newman was then charged with the offence above-mentioned, to which he pleaded not guilty. The several officers connected with the company having proved the ease, the defendant was Ilse convicted in a penalty of 20/. ' with costs. The defendant said he had not sufficient goods to distrain upon ; and after being detained in custody for some time, he was ordered to attend on a future day to have the distress war rant made out against him, unless he was prepared to pay the amount in the mean time. S. WTH WARK. _ _ _ DESTIRATI ATTEMPTS AT Stricms.—Thursday, Mrs. Eliza Roberts, the wife of Mr. Henry Boyden Roberts, a so licitor, was charged before Mr. Cottingham with making two very determined attempts upon her life by poison and strangula tion on the preceding day. Mr. Sidney Price, of 37, Union-street, Friar-street, Black friars-road, stated that the defendant, Mrs. Roberts, had been lodging in his house for the last three months, and with her child occupied one room on the second floor. For some days past he an„ his wife observed that the defendant exhibited con siderable depression of spirits, and on the preceding day she !poke of her husband, from whom she was separated, and said that he had degraded her by giving her intocustody and sending her to the station-house, and a hied that being tired of her ex istence she had resolved to terminate her earthly career, but did not rapt ess by what means. The witness perceiving that she locket! ill, and suspecting that she had taken something of a de leterious nature, examined her room and found an empty phial with the word " poison" written on a label. He questioned ber on the subject, but as she manifested no disposition to give any information, he immediately sent for a medical man. and an emetic and other means having been resorted to she reco vered after a short time; but being in a veli weakly condition she was ordered to lie down and be kopt quiet. The defendant was then placed in bed, sad in a few hours afterwards when witness's wife went un to her room to take her seine gruel she fonod the door locked. She knocked repeatedly. but without effect; when witness, btit.g apprised of the cireustistance, went up himself and broke open the door. (hi entering the room he fou n d %its. Roberts ljing apparently lifele son the htd with a silk scarf twisted tightly round her neck, her face distorted, and all the indications of strangulation perceptible. The liga ture having been removed, and restoratives having been admi• nistered, she recovered, and as she subsequently expressed a determination to destroy herself, the wi ness and his wife had her brought up to this Court that steps might be adopted to prevent a recurrence of the a tempt upon her life. Mr. Cornea lt Asi inquired the cause of the defendant' hav ing mmie this rash attempt to destroy herself, and whether her husband w.s apprised of the circumstances of her narrow escape from death ? The vileness, in reply. s-id that the defendant's husband was a wile:dor, resieli-g in Church-street. Trinity-square—that a separation had taken place between them about four years age, awing to her having an illicit intercou, se with a Life Guards. man—that Mr. Roberts subsrquently brought an action for cri.n. con. against the soldier, the is•ue was tried before the Sheriff, when 'he defendant allowed judgment to go lay default, and the damages were assessed at 500/. Since that occurrence Mr. Roberts and his wife had been hying apart, and as he sub scribed notteing to her support, she was reduced from a state of comparative affluence to great indigence, and it was the pressuie of want, he ( witness) had every reason to believe, was the cause of her having made the attempts upon her exist ence. He added that he had forgotten to mention in the early part of his statement that Mrs. Roberts, on finding she was foiled in her attempts to destroy herself, had refused all sus tenance, declaring that she would starve herself to death, so bent was she on self-destruction, and that she should lie down and die at her husband's door. Mr. COTTINGHAII inquired whether she had any relatives_, and how she had been supporting herself since their separation? The witness said that her parents lived at Spalding, Lincoln. shire—that they allowed their (laughter a small pittance, merely sufficient to pay her lodgings, and that she contrived to eke out a miserable subsistence for herself and child by shirtmaking, for which she was paid at the rate of fourpence a. piece. Mrs. Roberts, who appears to be about twenty-six or twenty-seven years of age, looked very ill, and wept during the investigation, said, in a tone scarcely audible, that being in great distress, together with her child, she went a few days ago to her husband's house, to solicit some pecuniary assiitance; that he peremptorily refused to give her a farthing, and threatened to give her into custody if she came after him. Finding that he was resolute in his determination, and that everything conspired to make her miserable, she admitted that she left his house with the fixed purpose of destroying herself. Mr. COTTINCHAM said that it was a most deplorable affair altogether ; that evidence having been given before him that the defendant had made two attempts upon her life, and also had expressed her determination to starve herself to death ; he was, therefore, called upon to place under restraint. This he would de by calling upon her to find bail, and in the interval he should communicate with her friends, and try if some ar rangement could not be made so as to relieve her and her child from the pressure of want. The worthy Magistrate then gave directions that the unfortunate woman should be taken to the county gaol. and that in her present lamentable condition attention m.ght be paid to her consistently with the regula tions of the gaol. LiSTER. V. BOYLE. 'fhe plaintiff in this case is a lir:en-draper, in Sun-street, the action was brought to recover the sum of 31. Os. 9d., for drapery gooci4. It was proposed, on behalf of the plaintiff, to prove the de livery of the goi.d= to the wife, and her admission of the debt. 'I he SN CONDA KY said, unless the wife was carrying on busi 'lees S agei,t for her bust:find, her admission was not binding. The attorney said the god were for domestic purposes.

CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice CotZLIDSE, and a Common Juty.) ENVER IP CARTER. This was an action brought by the plaintiff torecnver damages from the de endant for the seduction o . hilt daughter. Mr. Chambers, with tir. Eiwiu James, conducted the case on behalf of the p ;tad ff, and Mr. sergeant Shee and Mr. Wordsworth ty , rt. for the d-fendant. Mr .1 A MILS in the absence of his leader) addressed the jury, and aid that this way an action brought by the plair•tiff to r,-cov,r compensation far what was termed by a action of law the losa of hia daughter's se• vices, but in sub.tance it was to obtain dam ,g,e,t for An injury committed by the defendant in the seduction of hi. daughter. The Learned Counsel then pro ceeded to slate that the plaintiff in this action had formerly been an exten:ise farmer at Belcham, in this county, but be had re, ired from business, and at the time of this transaction MS living, with his daughter Emma, the subject of the pre sent inquiry, and other members of his family, at a village called Fox Earth. The defendant was the son of a wealthy farmer in the sone village. and he believed he was about 22 Tears of age. An intimacy had sprung up between the young people, at,d t.le defendant was looked upon as her arknowledged suitor, and no. (;iiuht was entertained of his intentions , being ho nouratee. It would appear, however, that he had deliberately planned the seduction and ruin of the plaintiff's daughter, and in March, t 843, lie secceoded in obtainini pos-ession of her pi r son, upon (1: he was inswuoted) a solemn promise to make hilt his wife. Their intimacy continued until the latter end of 1844, when the young woman gave birth to a child, and the defendant then not only retused to perform his promise to marry her, but had the cruelty to make a paltry offer of ss. a week for the supeert of the child. The Learned Counsel, after detailing some other circumstances, which will be found in the evidence, concluded a very able and forcible a dress by saying that the case was entitled to the most serious consideration of the jury. A yeueg girl, who, up to the time the defenda it crossed her father's, threshold, was virtuous and happy. and performed all her filial duties, had been disgraced and ruined. The defendant found his victim virtuous and unprotected; he ruined and deserted her— " Plucked the fair flower and rifled all its sweetness, Then cast her, like a loathsome weed, away." At the early age of 18, in the very dawn of life, before she had felt and known that, " man to his fellows oftentimes unjust, was ever so to woman," he had betrayed her, and left her a prey to misery and temptation. Emma Ewer, the daughter of the plaintiff, a very pretty young woman, was then examined. She deposed that the plaintiff. her father, was formerly a farmer, occupying a con siderable quantity of land at Belcham, in this county, but he had latierly retired, and gone to reside with his family at the village of Fox Earth. Her father had been twice married, and upon his second wife going to reside away from him, she (witness) used to keep his house for him. There were two other sisters and a brother, but they were at school. The father of the defendant lived in the same parish, and witness became acquainted with the defendant, and they were upon intimate and affectionate terms in 1843. He *addressed tier as an honourable suitor, and visited her at her father's house in that eapacity, and she also went to see him at his father's and was received on the same footing. Before the month of March. 1843, he had promised to marry her, and told her that it he did not do so he wished he might never prosper. In the course of that month she had been out on her vie) , for a rinte, and when she returned she was going to turn it eat, as u uat, into the meadow, when the defendant cane upon her unawares, and took her by force are a shed that was close by, arid there, in spies of her resistance, accomplished his purpose. Their intimacy continued after this until the month of September. H 44, when she gave birth to a child. She had repeatedly asked ,he defendant whether he intended to marry her, ant he always tole her that he did, and repeated the ob servation that tie heeed he might never prosper if he did not. After the child wa. been the defendant offered to allow tier se. AI week for its lope. rt. In cros--examination, the witness said that her own mo ther died in 1832, and her fattier married again in 1840, and she was questioiied at emisiderable length with regard to the comluct of her father, and she admitted that a woman seamed Sharpe was siippesed to have had an illegitimate child by him, and that her mother-iii-law complained very much of his conduct in this re:pect• and had reproached him with al lowing his illegitimate e.hilitren to be brought to the house where his wire and grown-up (taught-Ts reeided, and that she e ventually left his r .of in con-equence of his procee.iings with rag a, d not only to this woman. but to two others named Plu,n and Meuse. fire witness was then questioned with regard to her own ronduie . and she denied positively having had any intimacy with other young men She admitted that she had ocCa.tonally ridden en her pony over to the house of the deiendate's fatner, unaecompaniea by any person. and without a greom• Mr. JAMES remarked, that it was not very likely that a farmer's itaught , r would have a groom to attend upon her. 'the cross-examination was then continued a considered , length, but n(rbi , •g material was elicited tending to shake the testimeny Awe b" the witness. Ileeex min d --Witness deni-ri positively having been to meet any veung men at the village of Clare, or that she had ever b e o IF, Whitehouse-em - 1 with the defendant. Her father and her stepmother lived unhappily, and the defendant was scare of the fact M r , P. Viall deposed that he knew the defendant. and saw him at Suiibury, w en he told him that he had srt•leit the busineaa h. , tween 11i , s Ea,- and himself. He aiterwares told him that !its tete 7,rOrro? , rl her marriage, anti that he would serve her steer Helen or env other young lady in the same way, unless he intended to makeher hi: wife. He said that he had promised to marry her, but that she could not do anything in it becau,e she had lit ~ ,ot any "black and white" to show for it. enes.ex imined—A good many people were present when the defendant said this, and they cried " Shame !" elr. John Barley deposed that he was -cqueinted with the plaintiff and his family. lie was a retired farmer, and his daughter kept his house for him. He never saw anything improper in the conduct of his daughter, and she always ap- peared to be a virtuou-, well- conducted girl. After she had been delivered ~f the child the defendant called upon him and said that he wanted to make some settlement about the " Fox Earth affair." Witness told him he should be very glad to communicate any proposition he might make to Mr. Ewer, and the defendant then said that he would settle the interest of 2001. upon the child, and that 100 i. of the principal should be ap plied to educate it, and the remainder to put it apprentice; but he added " he would not give a farthing to the girl." Cross-examined —Witness was not aware that the defendant had not got a shi l li n g of his own, nr that the offer was made on behalf of his father. The defendant, he believed, was not more thee '2l or 22 years old. Before witness left him he slid that he wou ld rot in gaol if his offer was not accepted ; and he likewise said that his tether would settle his property in such a way as that no one should touch it. Re-examined—The defendant is the eldest son, and his father is considered a man of good property. George Kidd, a tradesman, residing in the village of Fox Earth, - depo.ed that after the action had been brought, the defendant called upon him, arid said he wanted him to give him some interma ion, and when he asked him on what subject, he said " About. Mks Ewer." Witness told him that he knew nothing disrespectful of her, upon which the defendant asked him •t Whether he bad net seen a man in her bedroom," and sail that it his would give hien information about her, he would lose noth i ng by it.. Witness told him he had never seen any improper conduct on her part, to which he replied, "You are a lie then sale that he would give anything in reason it' he ceuld obtain any information ; and witness told him that rather than forswear himself he would cut his throat from ear to ear. Mr. Bates, the surgeon who attended the plaintiff's daughter in her acconehe r nent, preyed that fact, and also said that he a ny thing against the character of the young had never hea rd lady. Mr. CH a MBEKS ' ,aid t his was the case for the plaintiff. Mr ergeant nEt then aildre,•ed the jury fir the S defen dant, and teiiiimenced bt saying tha' he admitted there were 1:-tv e• .ate which involve,: m.ire important questions as re very gargled morality than those of his description ; but at the same time they varied must reeterially in their eh chms antes .

He should, however. put it to the jury whether Hata was a case of that description. and . whether it was one in which the phintitToirght to receive any primas amount of damages. He woulit admit that legally the Vaintiff bee itiaite our his right re a verdict, and tee queelion or t he jury was t o say, t: ki ne in t o eonsideration his own con duct in the trareactirin "ha' amount of damag es he waeentitled to.

And he would now ask them what appeared to have been the conduct of the father in this case? Instead of b ringing up his daughter, a younge wnrnan of considerehle personal att rae . ti ne s, and therefore necessarily eepeeee to great danger an d in a course of virtue and religion, he a pp eare d tempt a' jol r ,„y,_ r to too , . -ken the lea , r ire of her, and insead o warding o ff from h. r teet ra t of a.ll ties, ble evils, a bad example, his ~son reitiduitt le i ee , ritif to have been the worst that ceuld be To. a„ibl* 4.pearrii to have (tarried on an neervourse te e!, xemee, n,,e or ter. 4lt taiienn a e peaced to have had m ate e iiiidreii ; that tn. introduced there women and children under his •e.n root, to has own children, nii ,; t h at his own woe was at length ceme elled no leave him in consequence.

CHA ROE or FILON , ' AGAINST A POLICEMAN. a ThUred y Joitir Cox, po'iee-constable 257 V divishii,, was charged with stea jug a sower. inn, the pr Pert] of Samuel Palmer, police sergeant 6 ' division. Sarah Anne Palmer vras the first witness. She said-_I am the wife of Samuel Palmer, a police-sergeant, and rive in the section-house at Priest -bridge, in the parish of Putney. The prisoner is a single man lodger in the same house. On Wed nesday evening police-constable Morgan 111•Malion, 40 V, brought me a sovereign and 2s. 6d., my husband's money, anti laid it un the mantel shelf of the back room on the first fLior. After he had left the room I went down stair' to se to the children, and saw the prisoner stan ling at the gate, who shortly afterwards went into the house, and up the stairs, as if he was going to hi` bedroom ; to do so he would have to pals the door of my room, whirh I had lest open, therefore he could see the moms ! , as he pa.seti. He was gone about, ten minutes or a quarter of an hour , and when he came back he said to me , •' How mu c h do lowe you ?" and I answered os. Bd. He then gave me 3a.. and 1 went ups airs to get change. When I missed the sovereign my return I said to him Y ou have been playing me a " suspected the prisoner had taken it, beeause no ot he r pe rs o n i had been upstairs, and on got mysovereign ; i don't like larks With lark ; you have money, and I won't have it." He said he knew nothing abut ' it ; I might search his box, and he also exclaimed, " So help me God, I've not got it." I afterwards informed my husband of what had taken place. Mr. PATNTIA asked the prisoner if he wished to put any questions to the witness ? The prisoner said he came home at half-past six, that he paid Mrs. Palmer what he owed, and was afterwards st ending waiting for his change, when she accused him of taking a sovereign, which he denied having done or having even been in the room. Police-constable Morgan M'Mahon stated that about a quarter after ten o'clock on Wednesday night he was on duty on Putney-heath, when he met the prisoner, who asked him if he had got any beer. Witness said he bad not ;he then said, About that sovereign, it's a strange thing where it is guns," and witness said it was, and very unpleasant for all the men who lived in the house, and he asked the prisoner if he knew anything about it. The prisoner replied, "If you'll keep the secr.t, I'll tell you where it is, and give you half." Witness said he would, and the prisoner then told him that it was hid under some bricks near the privy. Witness then left the prisoner, and shortly afterwards meeting with his father, who is acting-sergeant, told him what the prisoner bad said to him. Acting-sergeant M'Mahon stated that on the very spot mentioned by the prisoner he found the sovereign put under some bricks. Witness then went back for the prisoner, and told him, in the presence of the other constables, what he had said about the sovereign, and that it was found. He then plumply denied having said a word, but when he got to the station-house at Wandsworth he stated he took it out of a lark. In answer to a question from the Bench, Mrs. Palmer said that, in the first instance, she thought the prisoner took the sovereign out of a lark, but that by denying it he had after wards wade up his mind to keep it. Mr. PATNTER said the case must go for trial. A jury must decide whether the sovereign was taken in a lark or not. SHIPWRECK OF A DUTCH INDIA- MAN. NINETEEN OF THE CREW STARVED TO DEATH, AND FOUR DROWNED. One of the most heartrending shipwrecks that has happened for some time was yesterday made known at Lloyd's, by the arrival of the ship Chance, Captain Roxby, frost Sydney, in the London Docks, having on board a portion of the crew of a Dutch Indiaman, named the John Hendrick, H. W. Edkelen bury. master, which was totally lost on the rocks forming St. Paul's Island, on the morning of the 29th of May, while on her voyage from Amsterdam to Batavia. The manner in which the deplorable occurrence was discovered is remarkable. It appears that on the night of the 2d of Juno, the crew of the Chance were anxious to ascertain whether such rocks as were laid down in the chart forming St. Paul's Island, 45 miles north of the equator, and 29 degrees west, were really to be seen, as many doubts prevailed as to their existence. Captain Roxby informed them that if the same course they were then going was kept antil the following morning, they would come in sight of the rocks. Accordingly at eight o'clock they descried them, and at half-past nine the Captain was much surprised by observing, through a glass. Dutch ensign flying from a spar on the island. It being sur mised that a vessel bad been wrecked near the spot no time was lost in bearing up to the rocks, and on nearing them. several persons were noticed on them, evidently in an ex hausted state. The captain ordered the pinnace to proceed to their assistance. About twenty por creatures were found 'sing about exhausted and apparently in a dying condition. The boat not being able to take them all off, the captain, the elite officer, steward, carpenter, two seamen, and three ap prentice boy., were first rescued, the remainder being assured by the boat's party that they would return and preserve them also. The ship was speedily gained. and on the cap tain learning that eleven persons were still on the island, he promptly ordered the long boat to be lowered, and with the pinnaee started for the rocks. Only twelve minutes elapsed ere they had set out a second time for the island, but in the meanwhile a sharp breeze had sprung up, a tremendous sea ran, and a trong current set in to the westward. Both boats kept beating about for five hours, and it appearing evident that if they kept out much later they would be swept away, they returned to the ship, having been unable to rended the promised assistance. It being probable that the gale might in some measure abate, Captain Roxby kept his ship beating about the island, as it was impossible to anchor, there being no soundings, for ten cm ire days and having seen nothing of the poor creatures, who by that time must have perished from the intense heat, and the want of water and food, he sailed for England, his own provisions by this time becoming very short. On ques tioning those whom he had saved, he learned that they belonged to the Indianian in question ; that on the morning of the 29th of May she was running under a press of sail, when at three o'clock the watch on deck discovered the rocks ahead so close as made it impossible to clear them. The helm was instantly brought to, but also at the same moment she stru:l, amd the succeeding wave pitched her on her beam ends. Every endea vour was instantly made to get her off; her rigging and masts were cut away in order to lighten her, but as the sea kept dash ing her against the rocks with terrific force, she soon broke up. The captain succeeded in reaching the rocks with a line, and se cured it round one of the loftiest cliffs, in effecting which he was no less than seven times swept down the rock, frightfully lacerat ing his body. The line beingalso made fast to the wreck, most part of the crew contrived to haul themselves on to the island by it. Four brave fellows attempted to land in a boat with the ship's papers and some provisions, but on nearing the breakers, a heavy sea capsized her, and they all perished. A poor boy, who has been saved, had his arm broken by being dashed against the rocks. On assembling on the frightful spot which they had been cast upon, which presented not the remotest chance of escape, starvation stared them in the face. Of wearing apparel they had saved none, save the few drenched rags that coveted them ; and of food, the only thing they could rescue from the wreck were a cask of butter, a cask of flour, a small biscuit, and a small keg of gin. Immediately under the line, a burning sun pouring upon them, and not having a drop of water to quench their thirst, the heat was intense, and which they could only allay by wading into the sea up to the chin, and thus remain the whole day. At night time the spirit was die. tributed amongst them. The single biscuit was broken up and divided equally, and then they commenced scouring the rocks in the hope of finding further food. They succeeded in get ting a few wild fowls and eggs; they were almost driven to madness. At dusk a few drops of rain were felt de scending; they instantly laid oat a kind of sail to catch it, and held their heads up to the heavens with their mouths open. It soon, however, passed over. On the third day, to their great inv, a vessel - bearing American colours hove in sight in the offing. They hoisted the signal on the spar, and in order to make doubly sure, the mate, seven seamen, and a passenger put off in the only boat th-y had been enabled to save, with a small piece of wood to dabble along, the oars being lost, to the Sr. preaching ship, but she passed onwards and was not seen after wards. The poor creatures in the boat then strove to regain the island ; the current was too strong for them, and they were speedily lost sight of. That they have perished there can be no doubt. They had not the slightest provision with them—no compass, and no oars, the nearest place being Cape Roque, more than tioo miles distant. The sufferings of those left on the rocks, on p'reeiving the fate of those in the beat, were ten fold; and on the fourth day they gave thernselv. s up to death. They were rapidly sinking from the effects of the heat, the skin on their face, hands, &c., actually peeling off. On the morning of the fifth day the Chance hove in sight. aid as before noticed, saved seven. Eleven, arno gat whom was the doctor, were left on the island. On the arrival of the hoar fellows yesterday, they waited upon the Netherlands Consul, who, having relieved their destitute condition, housed them at the Yorkshire Grey Tavern. Lower Thatties-stree:, and they will proceed to their native t•ounry trs-morrow morn ing by the Rotterdam mail steam. r. Ihe ill-fated Indiaman belonged to Rotterdam, was 800 tons hurtles and had only been heilt about two morrhs pre ions to her loss. To Captain Roxby the highest commendation is due for the humane and prompt steps he adopted to rescue the unfortunate persons on the island. Those who are indebted to him for the preserva tion of their lives, declare that nothing could exceed his en deavours to re-make the island. Night and day he was on deck at tempting it. Of the fate of the 11 poor creatures left on the rocks, it is the opinion of Captain Roxby, as also the Dutch, captain, that they must have perished in a day or two after wards ; for had they been rescued by any other vessel, she must have been fallen in with by the Chance. The rocks being situated some hundreds of miles nut of the track ofeessels trading to the Cape, perhaps scarcely two out of 1,000 ever meet with them. FRID.AY NIGHT'S GAZ ETTE. ST.

Just published, Second Edition, price One Shilling, DEFENCE of th, LANDLORDS of IRE LAND, with Remarks on the Relation between Landlord and Tenant, and a Postscript, containing an Extract from a Speech of the Right Hon. the Earl of Devon referring to the condition of Ireland. _ _ By W. W. SIMPSON, Member of the Royal Dublin Society. John 011ivier, 59, Pall-mall, London ; Macken and Co., West moreland-street, Dublin ; and to be had of all Booksellers. (Extract from the Times of 9th November, 1844.) " Mr. W. W. Simpson, the well-known and deservedly re spected auctioneer and land valuator, has recently published a pampt let, entitled ' A Defence of the Landlords of Ireland, with remarks on the Relation between Landlord and Tenant.' The Dublin Evening Packet, in reviewing this work, gives the following character of its author :—' Mr. Simpson, we scarcely need remind our readers, is an Englishman of vast experience in matters re lating to the improvement and value of land in his own country. He is, moreover, a gentleman of most comprehensive views, and pos sesses an understanding naturally strong, and a stock of practical knowledge and sterling sense which falls to the lot:of very few per sons in his own or any other rank of life. With the social condi. tion of Ireland he has made it his business, almost as a matter of necessity, to make himself thoroughly acquainted. He feels for her wants, and has contributed as much perhaps as any man in his time, to improve her resources, by encouraging the investment of British capital in every department of Irish industry. Such a wit ness as this we therefore hold to be beyond the reach of suspicion on the score either of interest or partiality, His testimony must be regarded as invaluable, as it is unquestionably unimpeachable.'
