IRISH GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.- DUBLIN TO GALWAY.—The Dublin and Galway Bill having been lost for this Session, the Provisional Committee have to acquaint the scrip-holders and the Public that, at a meeting of the Board, held this day, it has been resolved to proceed to procure an Act in the next Session of Parliament, for making the Railway betweeu Dublin and Galway, the success of which appears to be insured by the decision of the House of Commons in favour of the merits of this line, and the strong, expressions of a like tendency elicited in the debates in the House of Lords. The line will have the strenuous support of the great landed proprietors generally, and of other interests throughout the west of Ireland, as well as the cordial co-operation of the Great Southern and Western Railway Company. The interests of the present scrip-holders will be carefully pro tected in the arrangements to be made, full particulars of which will be published in a few days. FITZN. FRENCH, Chairman. J.

The Royal Assent was given by Commission to several public and private Bills. Their Lordships then adjourned, and re-assembled at Five o'clock. On the motion that the report on the South-Eastern Railway Bill be brought up, The Marquis of CLANRICARDE presented a petition from a person named MOURILLIAN against the Bill, and moved that it be re-committed. Lord REDESDALE said the allegations in the petition had been inquired into before the Standing Orders' Committee, and that they were frivolous. The Marquis of CLAN'AICARDE withdrew his motion, and then moved, as an amendment, that the evidence taken before the Committee be printed. On a division this motion was negatived, the numbers being—For receiving the report, 37 ; for the amend ment, 1. Lord STANLEY moved the third reading of the Taxing Masters Court of Chancery (Ireland) Bill. The Earl of WICKLOW moved, as an amendment, " that all persons to be appointed under the Bill should be solicitors of the Court of Chancery in Ireland, who should have been in practice for the space of ten fears or upwards." The amendment, which was supported by Lord COTTENHAM, Lord CAMPBELL, the Marquis of CLAN RICARDE, and Lord LANGDALE, and opposed by the LORD CHANCELLOR, Lord STANLEY, and the Earl of St. GERMANS, was carried by a majority of 6, the num bers being-19 for the amendment and 13 against it. In answer to Earl FORTESCUE, it was stated by Lord STANLEY that the execution of the persona convicted at Exeter of the murder of Mr. PALMER and some of the crew of the Wasp, had been respited, in order that the opinion of the judges might be taken on the point of law raised at the trial. The County Rates Bill was read a third time. The Duke of RicHmoNn moved that the Portsmouth Railway (Atmospheric) Bill be recommitted. The recommittal was opposed by the Marquis of NORTILIMPTON; along discussion ensued, and eventually the amendment was carried ; shortly after which their Lordships adjourned. The Commons met shortly before Four o'clock, and went up to the Lords to hear the royal assent given to ♦arious Bills. On their return Mr. HAWES presented a petition from the Chairman of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company against the London and York Railway Bill, representing that many of the names on the subscription list were those of paupers and many of them were forgeries. He moved that the petition be printed. The motion, which was opposed by Mr. B. DENNISON, Mr. WARD, Mr. BERNAL, and Mr. DARBY, and sup ported by Mr. ROEBUCK was agreed to. Mr. B. DENNISON then moved the third reading of the Bill. Mr. ROEBUCK. moved that it be read a third time that day three months. The amendment, which was supported by Mr. HAWES and opposed by Mr. W. PATTEN, Mr. B. DENNISON and Mr. WARD, was negatived, and the Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. Escorr gave notice of a motion for next session, for the admission of Indian corn duty free. Sir H. PEEL gave notice that, to-morrow, he should move the adjournment of the House till Friday. Mr. SMYTHE postponed, till next session, his motion on Portendic. In answer to Sir R. INGLis, it was stated by Sir R, PEEL, that the subject of the propriety of rebuilding Westnaiiister-bridge was under the consideration of Go- vernment. In answer to Mr. CHRISTIE, Sir J. GRAHAM said that the Brazilian pirates condemned at Exeter were respited, in order to give time to have the legality of the convic- tion argued. Mr. G. W. HOPE, in answer to Mr. P. HOWARD, said negotiations were still going on between the Governmen, and the New Zealand Company. After a few words from Lord PALMERSTON on the subject of the causes of the recent accident on the Dover Railway, and from Mr. TUFNELL and Sir .7. GRAHAM, on the case of JOHN MAYES, supposed to have been im properly convicted of felony, Mr. MOFFATT asked whether the new Houses of Parliament would be ready by 1847 ? Lord LINCOLN said the Committee-rooms would to but not the Hall. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in answer to Lord EBRINGTON, said, that measures had been taken to prevent the re currence of such revolting scenes as had occurred at the Spafields burying-ground. On the motion for going into a Committee of Supply, Mr. M. GIBSON rose for the purpose of drawing the attention of the House to the state of our relations with Brazil, and also to the question of encouraging the immigration of labourers into the West Indies. A brief discussion ensued, but Sir R. PEEL declining to enter into the matter at any length, the subject dropped. Mr. HAW Es then brought forward his motion respect ing the conduct of Mr. WRAY, which led to a long dis cussion, in the course of which the House was addressed by Sir J. Graham, Mr. Sheil, Mr. W. Patten, Lord John Russell, and Sir R. Peel, but ultimately the motion was rejected, and the House adjourned at a quarter-past 11 o'clock. It is believed by persons likely to be well informed, that the close of the session will be followed by a change in the Government far more important than the substitu tion of Lord MAHON for Mr. TENNENT, or of Mr. CRIPPS or Sir CHARLES DOUGLAS (whichever may be the fortuuatus puer) for Captain BOLDER°. When Lord STANLEY is fairly out of his New Zealand scrape, it is believed that good care will be taken to get him out of the Colonial-office, before he gets into another. The political process of kicking up stairs, which was new to the witty Lord HALIFAX, has since become a very trite expedient ; and the practised dexterity of Sir R. PEEL will find no difficulty in preserving Lord STANLEY'S dignity unimpaired, while he at one and the same time relieves him from the heavy responsibility of the Colonial portfolio, and our Colonial Empire from the heavy wei g ht of his grievous mismanagement. What is Lord STANLEY'S exact destiny,—troth w hich • of the great honorary posts of the Government he is tis continue to manage the House of Lords, and to watch the turf, — whether he is to be Privy Seal or President. of the Council, we do not take upon ourselves to say nor can NN e say who is tc -be his successor Rumour names three individu&s, two of whom, un tedlyi.would be no better than the doomed Lord ',,STA.N.Ev, while the chief reconamendation, at present, of the third is that he is comparatively untried and un known. These three rumoured successors are Mr. GLADSTONE,LOTd ELLENBOROUGH, and Lord DALIIO ET SIE. 11eaveri defend our colonies from the crooked tixford Jesuit ; far bettCt than that would be Lord ELLENBO ROUG 11, or the young and inexperienced Lord I)AL- ROME. Lord WHABNCLIFFE, the President of the Council. 4 42-r VA„. '40474) ... Itt - • 1 .) , , 77 , r- Au er ' T ""' 4 -.0""•••• w. `;, THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAI EVENING, AUGUST 5, 184 has been long known to covet the Home-office. --Sir J. (,iRABAM has gained, in the Home-office, a reputation almost unequalled for administrative skill ; and we can conceive no shuffling of the Government cards which would more easily accomplish Sir ROBERT PEEL'S ob ject, better please all parties, and more benefit alrthe great interests which are to be considered, than the transplantation of Sir JAMES GRAHAM to the Colonies, of Lord WHARNCLIFFE to the Home-office, and of Lord STANLEY to the honorary office of Lord President of the Council. Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S great administrative talents are not unaccompanied, it is true, by faults which have gathered for him a large stock of personal unpopularity ; but his faults are rather faults of manner, which offend individuals brought into personal commu nication, than faults which would materially detract from the benefit that the colonies would derive from his singu larly clear head and indefatigable industry. It is not improbable that there will also be some shut• fling of the smaller cards in the Government pack ; and we advise the electors of Cambridge to be on the look out, as nothing is more probable than that Mr. MANNERS SUTTON should be put into some berth which will be a comfortable provision for life. But the destinies of the nation will not be materially influenced by the fate of Mr. MANNERS SUTTON. Neither will much depend on Lord MAHoN's ac ceptance of the secretaryship of the Board of Control. We have heard indeed that his Lordship has refused this flattering offer : and one might indeed be surprised at his accepting it, or even at the offer being made, if one did not remember that Sir R. PEEL had signalised the commencement of his administration by offering one of the Vice-Chancellorships to Lord COTTENBAM. This must be Lord MAHON'S consolation for the other wise apparently low estimate of his qualifications, im plied in a proposal that he shall succeed Mr. EMERSON TENNENT, and be Lord JOCELYN'S Y:.lior at the Board of Control, notwithstanding that two years ago he was Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and that his rank and standing in the House of Commons and in his party are further illustrated by high character, and a most creditable literary reputation. Accounts from Constantinople to the 16th ult., appear in the German Universal Gazette, according to which the re volt which had broken out at Wan was on the increase. Eleven battalions of infantry, and two batteries of artillery, were on the march from Erzeroum. The rebels had mur dered an Armenian priest and the Charge d'Affaires of the PACIIA. They are Mussulmans, but of a different sect. The inhabitants and Rayah Christians support the Porte. A merchant ship had brought in news of a revolution in the island of Candia. The Mussulmans wanted to kill the PACIIA, on suspicion that he favoured the Greeks. Eighty millions of piastres is the estimated amount of damage occa sioned by the tire at Smyrna. According to the Gazette de Cologne, Prince METTERNICH arrived at Johannisberg on the 30th ult. The King and Queen of PRUSSIA arrived at Stolzenfelds on the 28th, and on the 30th they made an excursion to Coblentz. From a letter, dated Vienna, July 24, which appears in the French paper L' Univers, it appears that one of the objects of Prince METTERNICH in seeking an interview with the King of PRUSSIA at Johannisberg, is to persuade his Majesty not to give a constitution to Prussia. News from Lisbon to the 29th July has arrived. AN TONIO CABRAL had returned to the capital, and had resumed his office of Minister of the Interior. His brother Jost: had been nominated Minister of Justice, and had set off on an electioneering expedition to Oporto, having, before his de parture, published two ordinances, which made still further inroads on the constitution. Madrid papers to the 28th have arrived. The QUEEN, during her stay at Saragossa, had pardoned a criminal under sentence of death. Her MAJESTY was expected at St. Sebastian on the 2d of August. MADRID BOURSE.—Three per Cents., for Cash, 281; for Account, 29k; Five per Cents., for Cash, 21k. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The Moniteur publishes various royal ordinances—among them one authorising the Minister of Marine to apply, in 1845 and 1846, a sum of 9,760,000 francs to increase the squadron on the western coast of Africa, and construct and arm seven additional steamers to be employed on the African station. Another ordinance authorises the expenditure of 13,000,000 francs for improving the works and harbours of Toulon and Port Vendres. According to the Algerie, ABD-EL-KADER had evacuated the territory of Algeria, and had retired to the deserts of the south-east, which belong neither to Algeria nor to Morocco. He cannot, however, remain long there for want of subsist ence,) but neither can he be pursued at this season of the year. Both the French and the Emperor of Monocco are adopting measures to prevent him from returning into their dominions. On the Ist inst. the Duke and Duchess of NEMOURS arrived at Perigueux. Count BRESSON had arrived at Bordeaux. The great Madrid banker had arrived at Paris, having, according to private accounts, been compelled to fly from Madrid in consequence of the threats of NARVAEZ. During the late crisis CERIOLL had been fortunate in his speculations on the Bourse, and had won large sums from Salamanca and from NARVAEZ, and the latter had determined to get back his money by getting up a pretended Progressista conspiracy for the especial purpose of involving CERIOLA. The col leagues of NARVAEZ, however, demurred to taking any part in such an iniquitous scheme, and CERIOLA, having been put on his guard, escaped to Paris. There was nothing done in the Funds on Sunday. The following are the quotations for the new lines : MARSEILLES, JULY 29.—Marseilles and Avignon, 1,017 f. 50c. ; Boulogne, 627 f. 50c. ; Orleans and Bordeaux, 675 f.

DREADFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Great Chesterford, August 4, Two o'clock, P. If A dreadful accident has just now occurred on the Cam bridge line of the North-Eastern Railway, between this and Littlebury, by the down quick train running off the line, by which several carriages were smashed to atoms and set on fire. The stoker, killed on the spot, now lies under the en gine. We can just see his band, but cannot get him out. The engineer's leg is smashed, and several persons are sitting about the corn fields with bruises and contusions, and clothes torn to pieces. Trunks and carpet bags are torn and broken to pieces, some burnt, and the contents are lying about in all directions. Men with pails of water are endeavouring to quench the fire of the wreck, which is burning most furi ously. This line has only been opened five days. Since writing the above, I hear there are two more persons very much hurt. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. . _ In the Liverpool market' yesterday the sales of Cot ton were 8,000 bales, including 3,000 American on speculation. Prices were very steadily supported. The principal feature in Railway Shares was again the excited state of West York, West Riding, and Leeds and Thirk. The following are some interesting extracts from the letter of Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewesbury, touching upon the state of the mercantile markets : The improved demand for labour continues to operate with considerable effect on the necessaries of life, the in creasing consumption of which is daily manifesting itself. By observing travellers from all parts of the country, we are happy to learn that there are prospects of an abundant har vest, and we have no fear of its being well reaped, if the season corresponds with former ones to the end, as it has done to this time, and it is to be hoped that these blessings will be as gratefully received as they are freely given. We learn, by a gentleman who has just arrived from the Conti nent, and passed through the great corn-growing dis tricts of South-Russia, Poland, Hungary, Austria, Bo hemia, Silesia, &c., that everywhere the crops were abundant, and quality excellent—that the greater part was cut, and some already housed, that the weather was splendidly fine, but so hot in the shade the thermometer ranged for days and days together between 92 and 98 degrees Farhenheit, that the oldest peasants said they had never wit nessed so hot and fine a harvest time. " Accounts from Calcutta to the 9th June state that agri culture generally looked very promising, and good crops were expected, if nothing occurred to prevent them ; but the sea son so far, is very similar to those when great inundations have followed; and some of the old natives express great fears that such will be the case. The low price of our April sales of indigo had given great dissatisfaction, and the loss to many of the shippers was considerable. The fact is, that India produce is generally held too high in that market, and British manufactures sold too low to make the trade with that country profitable." Letters from the United States of America to the 15th ult., state "that in the Western States the crops of wheat had been mostly housed, in fine condition; that even in Ohio, where a failure had been contemplated, the crops had turned out above an average, and that, generally, there was an abundance of every kind of produce, but the greatest in crease was in sheep's wool, an article which has been much attended to of late years. The business in the Eastern States differs nothing from our last report." The letters and papers by the Dee steamer reach to the 9th July from Jamaica, the 4th from Trinidad, the 6th from Demerara, the 10th from Barbadoes, and the 2d from Vera Cruz. Mexico was in a very disturbed state, and the insecu rity of life and property was becoming every day greater. Upon this view of matters, therefore, we should be disposed to think that the danger of a war with Texas is extremely remote. In Jamaica the weather was propitious, and agricultu ral prospects were cheering. Great things are evidently ex pected from the Hill Coolies. In Barbadoes the drought was still much felt; and strange to say in Demerara there had been a wet season, and dry weather was wished for. It is stated that several negroes sent formerly from the British colonies to Surinam are still held in slavery, but it is clearly a nice point of law whether the Dutch have not the right to detain them, having obtained them betbre we emancipated our colonial labourers.

We have just seen a gentleman who was one of the pas sengers by the up-train from Norwich, and who witnessed the accident. He states that the quick down-train ran off the line on which it was travelling across the other line, and tore up the rails of both. The engine was upset and was lying across the rails. The stoker was killed, the engine fell on him and his head was severed from his body. The guard had both his legs broken ; the baggage-waggon caught fire and two or three of the carriages were burnt. The up-train from Norwich, which was due at three, did not arrive at Shoreditch until after 11 o'clock. Our informant took a post-chaise at Chesteiford, and arrived at the Shore ditch station, at which hour they had received no informa tion of the accident. He complains of the treatment he met with at the station. General Pasley went over the road on Monday week. On Tuesday the Directors took an experi mental trip, and on Wednesday it was opened to the public. There are various rumours as to the cause of the accident, to which we shall not at present give currency, as no doubt the most searching inquiry will be instituted by the proper autho rities. RESPITE OF THE BRAZILIAN PIRATES.—MONDAY, A ca. 4, Two o'cLocx, P. M.—We have just received infor mation from the High Sheriff of this eounty, E. S. Drewe, Esq., that he has received a respite for the prisoners, now under sentence of death in the gaol of this county, until Friday, the sth of September next. —Besley's Exeter News. REPRESENTATION OF SUNDERLAND.—SATURDAY NI ONT. —At the League meeting this evening Colonel Thomp son stated that a letter had been that day received from Earl Grey, informing the gentleman to whom it was addressed, that his Lordship had now taken the proper steps fur his imme diate call to the House of Lords, so that a writ for a new elec. tion will speedily be issued. This announcement was received with great cheering, for the Liberal electors are anxious to be at work ; the delay has, however, strengthened their interest, by giving time for the removal of the irritation and bad feeling to which the introduction of two candidates had unfortunately given rise. The prominent topic at this meeting, which was principally addressed by local speakers, was a reprint of a hand bill issued on the.Bth of March, 1815, containing a requisition to the magistrates for a general meeting of the inhabitants of Sunderland, " to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning the House of Peers against the further progress of the Corn Bill," which requisition was signed by Mr. Robert Sarfield, a wealthy shipowner, and chaii man of Mr. Hudson's committee. Mr. Hardcastle stated at the public meeting, to night, that the eanvios had been so satisfactory as to warrant a declaration that Colonel Thompsou will be elected by a large luajority. _ _ ARRIVAL OF THE CHINESE RANSOM MONEY.- Yesterday forenoon the Chinese ransom money, which was brought to England by the Cambrian, Commodore Chads, C. 8., was forwarded from Gosport by a special train, on the South-Western Railway, under the care of Mr. Cooper, of the Treasury department, and a guard of the Bth Regiment of Foot. The whole of the ransom, consisting of 2,000,000 dollars, which ere deposited in 500 boxes, and weighing about 62 cwt., was sent by the train. On their arrival they were placed in ten waggons, each drawn by four horses, when they were taken to the Mint. There is another portion of Sycee silver expected, which will be the last of the ransom. FOREIG N MAILS.—POST -OFFICE NoTtcE.—Yes terday the following notice appeared at the chief office and prin_ o pa l rece i v ing-houses : —Peninsular Mails.—The Queen will sail from Soutliampt , n with the mails for Lisbon, Spain, Ma deira, and Gib, altar on the morning of the ith inst.

Tne next mail for .the Mediterranean, Egypt, Ceylon, India and China, via Marseilles, will be dispatched from hence on the evening of the 7th of August ( Thursday). COLONXAM. SUGAR.—The .market for British Plantation is firm ; about 500 hhds have t een sold at previous rates. The public sales have consisted chiefly of 151 hhds Barbadoes and 6,905 bags Bengal. The Barbadoes chiefly sold at 45s to 53s 6d for low to fine yellow, being about previous prices. Only about 2,000 bags of the Bengal found buyers at 50s 6d to 56s for low to good white Benares, which are former rates. The remainder consisted almost entirely of low to fine brown Khaur, and were nearly all taken in at 34s to 38s, being in most instances held above the value. The only transactions which have taken place privately consist of two cargoes of brown Pernambuco (partly in bags), which are reported to have been sold afleat at 24s to 24s 6d, deliverable either over the ship's side in London or a near port on the Continent, but the exact particulars have not transpired. The quantity of British Plantation landed last week at the East and West India Docks was 1,318 hhds, 104 tierces, 96 barrels, and there were taken for home consumption 1,854 hhds, 217 tierces, 390 barrels. The stock of British Plantation in London on the Ist inst. was 19,337 hhds. 2,569 tierces, exhibiting an increase of about 4,000 hhds over this time last year. The stocks of Havannah, Brazil, and East India are rather less than last year; but of Porto Rico, Mauritius, and Bengal, they are larger. The import of British Plantation this year has in creased, as also the consumption. CoF'FXE.-3,426 bags Ceylon (chiefly British Plantation kind) at auction was nearly all bought in at previous prices, at which there were not purchasers. The stock of British Plantation is less than that of last year, as also of Foreign, but of East India it is larger. The consumption of British Plantation is rather less than last year, but that of Foreign and East India has increased. Rum.—The quantity landed last week at the East and West India Docks was 146 puns 26 hhds, there were taken for home consumption 172 puns 25 hhds, and exported 58 puns 11 hhds. The stock is 12,544 puns 2,789 hhds in London, being much the same as at this time last year. TALLow.—P.Y.C. is 39s 9d to 40s 3d per cwt on the spot, and Town at 42s per cwt. TEA.—The market is steady. Stock in London on the Ist inst. 30,662,000 lbs, or rather less than last year. The deliveries and imports have been much the same as last year. DRY SALTERY.—Indigo has been firm, Lac Dye without alteration, and Cochineal steady. Dyewoods are easy of sale. HEMr.—Clean is 27s 10d to 28s per cwt. The stock is 5,939 tons, and of Flax 861 tons, being larger than last year. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) • (Before Mr. Commissioner FAKE,) IN RE RIDGE, RIDGE, AND CO. These bankrupts were bankers at Chichester, and to-day was appointed for declaring a dividend under the joint estate. The solicitor to the fiat applied for the sanction of the Court for the attendance of the official assignee to pay the dividend at Chichester, for as it would be the third, and of very small amount, it would be a great loss to come up to London, as there were 1,500 creditors. Mr. Whitmore, the official assignee, said he was always ready to attend, and had even paid dividends at the Isle of Wight. The real question was, whether the Court would allow costs to the so liciter for attending to identify the parties. The COMMISSIONER said he could not admit as a general principle the necessity of the solicitor to attend and identify the parties—it was not even required at the bank. The official assignee said in these cases so many names were alike that it was a convenience. The COMMISSIONER said that if the official assignee deemed it necessary it should be done. The order was accordingly made. The amount of dividend will be declared and advertised in a few days. IN RE WRIGHT AND CO. An audit meeting was held under the estate of these bank rupts, who were bankers in Henrietta-street, Covent-garden. Very little transpired in the case except that the total amount of debts proved was /30,0001., and that there was about 20,0001. in hand ; but as there were several Chancery suits pending, there was no prospect of a dividend at present, SHERIFFS' COURT.-(ThiS DAY. (Before Mr. Under• Sheriff ISURCHELL. ) RUDDUCIC V. FARMER. The plaintiff is a Manchester warehouseman in the City, and the defendant is a manufacturer of cotton. The claim was for 5/. 10s., for cotton yarn supplied to defendant. To prove, the plaintiff's case Mr. John Lavater, who de scribed himself as a merchant, at No. 4, St. Pancras-lane, de posed that the defendant called upon him in January, and asked him if he had some cotton to sell, describing what he wanted, and he told defendant that he had not, but had sold some to Mr. Rudduck, of the quality and price. Saw him two or three times about it, and the price was arranged. In his cross-examination he said he did not consider the debt was due to him, but to Rudduck. He had had dealings with defendant before, but had since been bankrupt. Had not entered this account as a debt due to him. Another witness, who delivered the goods, said he was Mr. Lavater's boy, but went to Rud duck for the cotton, and then he took the goods to defendant, and said that he brought it from Mr. Rudduck. Defendant asked how that was, and witness said he replied he did not know. Goring, clerk to plaintiff, deposed that he called upon defendant, who treated him very politely, and said that to tell him candidly, he did not mean to pay him. Witness asked no further question, as the matter was " settled" when he was not to have the money.—(Laughter.) The UNDER-SHERIFF said that when the invoice was pre sented in Rudduck's name, defendant should have refused it. Mr. Masterman, the defendant's attorney, said it could hardly be expected that a poor Bethnal-green weaver knew the law; the only case, however, was this, whether he was to pay Lavater or Rudduck. He was willing to pay either, if he could co so safely, but the official assignee under Lavater's estate had claimed the amount. The jury wished to know whether the assignee ought not to have been called. The UNDER-SHERIFF said no demand by the assignee could alter the facts of the dealing, the only question was whether they believed Lavater, if so, it was clear plaintiff was entitled to a verdict on the goods that had actually been in his warehouse. The jury gave a verdict for the full amount claimed. ‘ FATAL ACCIDENTS ON THE RlVER.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. J. Payne held an inquest at the King's Arms, Queenhithe Dock, Thomas-street, on the bodies of James Jelly, aged 10 years, and Emily Rushton, aged 14. Touching the death of the former, it appeared that the deceased, on Sun day afternoon last, together with a great many more children, were playing on some barges in Queenhithe Dock, which on a Sunday is resorted to by crowds of the infantine population, when suddenly a cry was raised that the man was coming, and the deceased, in his eagerness to get ashore, struck his foot against the rowlock of the barge and fell overboard, and was sucked immediately under the barge's bottom. A lighterman, named Phillips, plunged after the deceased, but his body was not found for twenty minutes, when life was found to be extinct. Respecting the death of Emily Rushton, it appeared that the deceased, along with some other girls, were playing on some barges off Trigg-stairs, and in attempting to jump from a barge on to the landing-place, she fell into the- water, and was also sucked under the barge's bottom before any one could ren der her any aid. Her body was found in a quarter of an hour, and conveyed to the Glaziers' Arms, Water-lane,',where the usual means were applied to restore her, but without effect. The jury returned verdicts of " Accidental death " in each case, with a recommendation, that for the future, from the open and exposed state of Queenhithe Dock to children, a constable should be placed on duty on a Sunday, to prevent a further loss of life ; and the Coroner undertook to lay the suggestions of the jury before the City Police Committee. . . SNIUGGLIN G.—A remarkable instance lately oc curred a few days since of the adroit means sometimes adopted in order to conceal smuggled goods in baggage on passing to and from the continent. A passenger arriving from Rotterdam, by the Batavier steam-ship, attended to take his turn for the exa mination of his portmanteau by the revenue officers, and al though such examination is conducted in a very liberal spirit, as much care as possible being taken not to damage the contents more than is absolutely necessary for revenue purposes, the sus picion of the officers was excited, in consequence of the limited contents of the package, in'relation to its size and appearance, and on a more particular examination, it was discovered that there was a false bottom to the portmanteau, under which was concealed nearly nine pounds of Havannahi cigars. The port manteau was of course immediately seized, and the whole of the apparel and other contents, and orders have since been is sued by the Commissioners of Customs for the same to be con fiscated, and also for the party, if he can be found, to show cause why he should not be also prosecuted. The party, a fo reigner, was so shocked at the unfortunate discovery of his little predilection for smoking, at the expense of her Majesty's revenue, that he actually fainted on the spot. THE ACCIDENT ON THE EDINIIVEGII AND GLAS GOW RAILWAY.—In the High Court of Justiciary, Edinburgh, on Friday, William Paten, superintendent of locomotives on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, and Richard M'Nab, engine -man, employed on the railway, were charged with culpable homicide; :William Paten for having, on the 19th of May last, recklessly dispatched from the Cowlair's station an engine called the Napier, defective in its tubes, fire box, or other machinery, for the quick conveyance of Thomas Cooley to Edinburgh ; and Richard M•Nab, knowing the said engine to he defective, for culpably neglecting to take a lamp with him, though the lateness of hour required such a precau tion. In consequence of the inefficient state of the engine, and the absence of light, the carriage containing Thomas Cooley was Overtaken by and brought into collision, when nearly opposite Corstorphine, with the next ordinary passage train, which was to leave Glasgow shortly afterwards, whereby Thomas Cooley was thrown out of the carriage, and the wheels of the next train of carriages went over his body, in conse quence of which he was killed. A jury having been empanelled, the Solicitor-General intimated that the Crown had found it necessary to desert the diet against the prisoners ; the reasons for which he was proceeding to state, when the Court said it was unnecessary to make any explanation, as the Crown had a perfect right to exercise its discretion in de serting the diet. The prisoners ,were then discharged from the bar. STEAM-BOAT COLLISION ON THE RIVER —On Sun day night, shortly after eight o'clock, the Waterman's steamer ' No. 7, whilst proceeding on i's passage from Woolwich to Lon don, ran aground r ff Limeheuse-pier, where she remained for nearly half an hour until the arrival of anotkser of the com pany's boats, No. 3, which then proceeded to remove the pas sengers from No. 7to their own yeses!. No. 3. iinweser, hay ing already their full number of passengers, became crowded iiiconvenently, and Irons some unexplained cause al,o got aground. A.portion of the passengers were then compelled a second time to go on board No. 7. At this moment the latter vessel gave a sudden lurch, and her stern was driven with tre mendous force agains' the other boat, breaking in the paddle box and otherwise injuring No. 3. Both boats ultimately got off, and it not being supposed that No. 3 was so much injured, Proceeded towards London-bridge, when, upon reaching the Thames Tunnel it was found that No. 3 was fast sinking. It being now quite dark (past ten), it was with difficulty the fears of the passengers were allayed, the screams of the females being heard for some distanee. A number of boats put off to their assistance. Forturtately No. 7 was in time to receive the whole of tlio.passengers on board, and the disabled boat put in at the Tunnel-pier, whilst No. 7 proceeded safely to the Temple-stairs. Mr. Stephens and Mr: Forth were generally con sidered the best chess players in Ireland. " The death of the former is announced in The Chess Player's Chronicle, and it is a painful and remarkable coincidence that his rival and competitor in the game there published should have survived him hut a few days. Mr. Forth expired at Waterford on Sun day last. Both were in the :prime of life.—lllustrated Lon. don News. RA ELWAY CO 11MITTEES (Tins DA JC.) HOUSE OF LORDS. EPPING The Committee appointed to inquire into this Bill met at eleven o'clock, Lord Alonteagle in the chair. There was no opposition whatever, except in a few formal matters respecting amendments in the clauses, which were speedily adjusted. The Bill then passed through Committee, and their Lord ships rose. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP X. SHEFFIELD AND LINCOLNSHIRE LINE. IMPORTANT DECISION. This Committee met for the last time this day, there being present Viscount Courtenay (Chairman), Mr. Wall, Mr. Darby, and Mr. Scrope. _ . . Alt:. Sergeant WRANGHAM made a few observations in addi tion to those of yesterday, in favour of the Bawtry branch of the London and York line, pointing out its superiority in re spect of economy, speed, and saving of distance. At one o'clock the Learned Sergeant had concluded his address, and the Committee cleared the room in order to de liberate. At half-past two, strangers having been re-admitted, The CHAIRMAN said—l am instructed to inform the various parties interested in the schemes before our consideration, that we have come to the following resolution That the Committee are of opinion that so much of the preamble of the London and York Bill as has reference to the Sheffield Branch is not proved; and that the preamble of the Sheffield and- Lincolnshire Bill is proved, omitting the words City of Lincoln.' " The CHAIRMAN then inquired whether the pro moters of the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Bill were pre pared with clauses to obviate the injury to property complained of by Messrs. Foljambe and Hutchinson ? Mr. Hope having expressed his readiness to accede to any course which the Committee might see fit to recommend, and Mr. Talbot declining to enter into any compromise on the subject, the Committee proceeded with the consideration of the clauses. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS. TUESDAY, JULY 29. REPORT FROM THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON GROUP (X) OF RAILWAYS. TOTTENHAM AND FARRINGDON-STREET JUNC TION RAILWAY BILL. Lord Courtenay reported from the Select Committee on Group X of Railways, to whom several petitions against the Bills comprised in the said group, together with the Report of the Board of Trade thereon, were referred, that in the case of the Tottenham and Farringdon-street Junction Railway Bill they had heard parties in support of several of the said petitions, and had heard counsel in favour of the frill ; and that they had examined the allegations contained iu the preamble of the Bill, but the same had not been proved to their satisfaction. MUTINY IN THE CHINESE SEAS. (From the Hong-Kong Register.) Mutiny at sea, especially by the officers, is so rare an occurrence, that the recent, and for a time successful, at tempt of the mate and gunner of the schooner Ariel, to take possession of the vessel, with her valuable freight of specie, is the cause of much astonishment. The par ticulars of this tragic affair we have received from the very best authority, and our statement may be relied upon. The Ariel left Amoy on Saturday last, bound fur this port, with about 100,00 u dollars in specie on board. At six o'clock that afternoon she nas off Chapel Island. After taking the bearings of the island, and giving a course for Namoa, Captain Macfarlane being indisposed, and requiring to be on deck during a great part of the night, went below to his cabin for a short rest. At half past 8 o'clock he was disturbed by the voice of the chief officer, Mr. Wilkinson, who shouted in an unusual tone, "Captain Macfarlane, you are wanted on deck," Cap tain Macfarlane obeyed the summons; upon getting on deck the companion was closed by the mate and gunner, who were each armed with a brace of pistols. They told the captain that it was their wish, and that of the crew, that he should take the vessel to Singapore, and that they bad altered the course from S. W. to south. They proposed that he should join them, offered him a large share of the money on board, stating that from the Ariel's sailing qualities they could commit piracy with little risk of being captured. Though his life was at stake, the cap tain refused to join them. They then ordered his butler to bring all the arms from his cabin, continuing their per suasions to join in their lawless intention to rob their em ployers, and afterwards to fit the vessel out as a regular pi rate. Captain Macfarlane pointed out to them the heinous crime which they were committing, and the fearful penalty they would incur ; he also promised that they should be forgiven, provided that they gave up the attempt ; but they were obdurate and resolved to carry out their villanous plans. The mate said he would spare the captain's life, stating that while asleep in his cabin he had intended to shoot him, and even pointed a pistol down the skylight for the purpose, but could not bring himself to commit such a cowardly action as to shoot a man asleep. He also stated that any attempt at res cuing the vessel would be certain death, as the crew (Mamlamen) had all joined himself and the gunner, who, with the captain and one lad, were the only Europeans on board. After some further conversa tion they promised to land the captain, also to spare the life of his attendants, though they said they would be compelled to kill some who were on board for their own safety. At 10 o'clock the main hatch was taken off; and it was purposed to confine Captain Ai acfarlane in the hold ; he requested that they would give him his own cabin, and after some hesitation, they agreed to make that his prison. Previous to going below, the captain made another attempt to dissuade thorn, but it was of no avail. They said they had made up their minds to the step they had taken for some time, and only awaited a favourable opportunity. They also mentioned that others in Hong Kong had it in contemplation to capture the Ariel ; that a European, whose name is before us, was then close at hand in a Lorcha, having a crew of 40 men, expressly fitted out for that pur pose, and that failing in success, there were people in Hong Kong who intended capturing the Ariel, with the clipper Celestial. This part of the statement must be taken with caution ; they how ever gave the name of the ringleader of the pirates in the Lorcha, who it appears offered to ship on board the Ariel. At daylight on the morning of the 27th, Captain Macfarlane forced open the di ,or of his cabin, and a ent on deck ; the ship's head was then S.W. by W. At eight, breafast was sent into his cabin, the Ariel then running before a fine N.E. wind. At ten, he sent for the mate, and requested that they would give him the long boat, or put him on board a junk ; this was refused, the mate saying that he (the captain) would get to Hong-Kong too soon for them. He, however, promised to put him on board a junk at night-fall ; also that he would give up all his per sonal property. At noon the mate again came into the captain's cabin, telling him to make himself comfortable until the vessel got to Singapore ; he expressed his de termination to throw the treasure overboard if pursued; the assurance that the captain's life would be spared was again renewed. In the afternoon the captain's Chinese servant, who was allowed to go on deck, told him that the Manilamen were not in the plot, and that they medi tated rising upon the mate and gunner, and again restor ing the vessel to his command. About 10 o'clock they had matured their plans, and although without other arms than the rammers of the guns and their knives, they at tacked the mutineers,at the same time enabling the captain to get on deck through a window, and arming him with the cook's axe. The fight was soon over, the mate being knocked down with a rammer, and also cut with knives ; the gunner took refuge in the cabin, raising the hatch which covered the magazine, and threatening to blow up the ship. Captain Macfarlane had by this time got possession of a fowling-piece, ene barrel of which was loaded ; with it he fired and wounded the gunner in the thigh. The poor wretch cried out for mercy, but still threatened to blow up the ship. A lasso was got ready and thrown over his head, with which the crew hauled him on deck and secured him. The mate died of his wounds. The gunner was brought here, and has been committed for trial, after an examination before Mr. Hillier, the actingemarine magistrate. It is pleasing to state that, after the affray was over, and the ship's course was again shaped for Hong-Kong, Captain Macfarlane mustered the crew, and offered up prayers and thanksgiving for their dt liverauce from im minent danger. The whole affair is a very sad, though a remarkable one. Mr. Wilkinson, the ringleader, was a young man with the fairest prospects before him ; his employment was, and is, the best in the merchant service, and had he behaved himself, would, in all probability, in a few years, have led to a competency for life. The Manilamen, contrary to the usual opinion of them, .proved true to their employers ; and we doubt not, from the well-known liberality of the firm, they will be re warded. Captain Macfarlane himself; though placed in a most trying position, acquitted himself in the highest degree creditably, proving the strength of his honour ' and integrity, and however deeply he may regret the fate of the unfortunate young man whose life was the penalty of his crime, he may always look back with satisfaction upon his own behaviour whilst his vessel was in the hands of the mutineers. LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—PRO POSED EXTENSION TO LONDON-BRlDGE.—During yesterday engineers and, surveyors were actively engaged in surveying the line of roads and property in the neighbourhood of the York-road, the New.cut, and Kennington-road, as also St. George's-fields, the parishes of St. George and St. Saviour, Southwark, with the view to ascertain the best possible route for the proposed extession of this railway to London-bridge, in connexion with the line from the York-road near to Hunger ford and Waterloo-bridges, to the station at Nine-elms, the Bill for the formation of which has already received the royal assent. The terminus to this railway, as at present proposed, will be on the extensive open piece of garden ground on the south side of the York-road, and on part of which the Belvi dere Brewery now stands. ItAii.wAr To SALISBURY.—The formation of the branch line to Salisbury from the South-Western Railway is proceeding throughout the whole extent of the line, and it is expected to be opened in April or May next. The preparations for the branch from the Great Western line, on the other side of the city, are also in active progress, and an effort will be made to get this line opened to Bath as early as the line to Bishopstoke. Yesterday White Conduit-fields, adjacent to the New Model Prison, was a scene of the most lively bustle, in consequence of a fair having commenced in a spacious field, near the Robin Flood, Chalk-road, Islington. At twelve o'clock in the forenoon booths were in readiness, and the sound of , the "gong" was the siznal to proceed, Atter this the " buzz ensued, when Harlequin, Clow n , P an t a l oon , an d Cu ." lunibine, and others of the dramatic trt, put their limns Into requisition, and life, noise, and confusion took possession of the spot. - Daticingbooths and other plaoes were provided to eutertilio the." show folk," wait a party of the police, under the superintendence of Inspector Thatcher. of the N division, were eo ti - .e.ground (luring t he day to.keep order.

The King of the therlands appeared to take great interest in the raciekos his announcement of his intention of giving a cup to bet of fir at the next meeting, in imit a ti on o f th e Enver° Russia, was an earnest proof of the pleasure he exper i v illS on the day. The Two-Year Old Stakes were merelf odo between Kent's and John Day's stables. The Cup Was i ll , exciting a race as usual, and was reduced to a match be , d ir Weatherbit and Miss Elis. Both animals were foolgo o wil l tressed, and I question whether Mr. Gully's horse "' forget the punishment he received on this occasion.
