The Nankin, 50-gun frigate, launched atWoolwich on Saturday last, arrived at Sheerness at nine o'clock on Sunday. It is supposed she must have. touched the ground immediately after she went off the ways, as. her main stern rudder post is broken. It is expected she will be ready for sea in May next. The San Fiorenzo, 50, ordered to be built at Wool wich Dockyard, is to be commenced immediately in the slip from which the Nankin was launched. A considerable quantity of the timbers of the San Fie renzo have been already converted and conveyed to the sides of,tbe slip. A convict employed with a gang at the mast-house at the west- end of the yard attempted to escape yes terday; but,, being .soon. missed,, a search was imme diately commenced,.and he was.found..in the hold of the Royal Albert busily engaged in filing off his irons with a file he had obtained from some of the work men's hoies..

YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK. The directors have!. - ie;itiecf their report with respect to the position of the holders of the Great North of England purchase shares. Tney state that they can not recognise the alleged right of those shareholders to seek for any modification of the terms on which those shares were created; but they think it will be judicious to secure to those shareholders a minimum dividend cf four per cent. until the Ist of July, 1856, en the 171. yet uncalled, as the calls on these shares are paid up, but that on the 8/. already paid the ordi nary dividend only should be paid, and that after the Ist of July, 1856, the whole 251. should receive equal dividend with the capital stock of the company. The directors believe that this course will best secure the payment of the 171. yet remaining due on Great North of England purchase shares as that sum shall be required, but they have thought it expedient that a call of 21. should be immediately made on these shares, payable by instalment e of 11. on the Ist of July, and 1/. on the Ist of January next, which call they have accordingly made. The amount of calls to be received from time to time on the shares will be applied in reduction of the amount due to the Gr e at North of England proprietors; thus relieving this company from a corresponding amount of the rent payable for the Great North of England Railway, and so preventing any increased burden to this company, in its allowance of four per cent. divi dend on the calls to be made. The directors are glad to announce that they have been enabled to induce Mr. Plews, under certain conditions, to allow himself to be proposed for re election as a director at the ad jeurned meeting. Mr. Alderman Hodgson also consents to be again put in nomination. Should these gentlemen be re-elected the only remaining raeanoy will be that occasioned 'by the retirement of Mr. Love.

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. This work contains an accurate and complete account of tke Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains, a fear of applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, bat erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest ' medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice fear many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

The proctor for Viscount Frankfort opposed the application, and said that her Ladyship had come into possession of property lately, by her father's death. The proctor for Lady Frankfort, in reply, inti mated that the property coming, to his client was only nominally so, and The COURT ordered the case to stand over. TIMES —Apropos to slavery, we have to record an act of person a l s ubjugation, as bad as anything in the evidence given last year to the Committee of the Lords. The scene was not the Bight of Biafra, nor Gallines, but Downing-street; the victims were not the glossy children of Ham, but 160 Members of the British [louse of Commons ; and the ostensible au thor of the extraordinary outrage was not a Brazilian skipper, but the head of her Majesty's Government. By the sound of the Treasury whip the unfortunate captives were mustered early in the above-mentioned barrecoon, and there shortly and sharply instructed in the terms of their servitude: Without so much as allowing them the opportunity of tendering their spore• taneous support, Massa Russell, for so we must call the principal actor on this occasion, informed his cap tives that if they did not support him in the blockade of the African slave coast, he would turn them all out into outer darkness to find a new master if they could. It was in vain that they protested and demurred, talked of money and reputation, and other topics customary with s.:nsiblo - men; his Lord. ' ship would take no denial. Their opinions they might keep, but their votes he must have. As ap pears from the division last night, his Lordship suc ceeded to the desired extent. The poor sufferers came out lamenting their hard fate, but few of them dreamt of actual resistance. Thus, by a sort of vica rious bondage the British M.P. has taken the place of the African, and done taskwork to the music of the lash. Such, in fact, is the history:of last night's di vision in the Commons. Let not the public be de ceived for one moment. The 232 Gentlemen se ho vote for keeping this Old Man of the Sea on our shoulders, themselves inwardly groan at the_ pres sure. We believe that any one of them would rather carry a sack of coals, or all the blue books of the session, from Westminster to St. Paul's, than vote away another million for this deplorable humbug. Sed - fata aslant. If they don't do as they are bid Lord Palmerston will go out, Lord John will go out, and all the r es t w ill go o ut, and it is im possible to say who will come i n ; perhaps Mt. Dis raeli, perhaps Mr. Cobd en , per h a ps Mr. Feargus O'Connor. Nor was thi s a ll, Th e philanthropists, sure of their victims, were not content with exacting a dumb vote. They had prepared what we can only call a song of victory, which was to be chaunted in honour of the Africans quadron and' its complete ill success and glorious certainty of failure. Mr. Hutt's motion was simple enou g h, an d t h ey w ho did not like it might think it sufficient to m ov e the previous ques tion. due No n Not eo o t te these had b gentlemen.se been given mo tion for last night stood a mons ter amendment, of which venlnhy the Member for North De r b ys hi re, an d better known at Exeter ball than Sc. m n r o . t l ic l e r. s E of ‘ . . ans, Stephen's. After reciting with fitting pomp all that had not been effected by her Ma jesty's naval force employed on the coast of Africa, this amendment went on to ask for further supplemen tary measures—fresh communications;representations, and remonetrances addressed to other powers, in the hope of persuading them to do what they have pro mised to do, but what they will undoubtedly see us all at the bottom of the ocean before they will do. There was a certain tone about the concluding and most important clause of the amendment, a certain " gravity," and " friendli ness an d regard for " the character of this country," which, coupled with some recent passages in our history, does just suggest the idea--we beg to be excused if ,we are wrong—of an armed apparition in the Tagus, or perhaps in the har bour of Rio. This may, of course, be an injurious surmise; but, as the foreign Powers we have to deal with are slaveholders to begin with, are our r i va l s in trade, and make a very good profit by our philane thropy—as they break all their engagements with us when slave trade is concerned, and leave us alone in our Quixotic undertaking, nothing is more likely or natural than that the fleet now at the Piraeus should have to stop at Lisbon on its way home and ask a few questions ; and, if it be so, it is difficult to suppose that so prudent and farseeing a man as our present Foreign Secretary, with such an instinctive hatred of war, should not have that vision before his eyes. Such, at all events, is the image irresistibly awakened in our minds by the last clause of the amendment intended to be moved last night, but withdrawn, perhaps for the very fact of this ill look about it—perhaps out of tenderness to the feelings of the Ministerial supporters. Now, in all seriousness, what are to be Ministerial measures, and what are not? A Minister does not derive all his power from his own person, essence, and being. He is a creation of Parliament, just as that is a creation of the country. Of course if he produced his ma jority out of the fountain of his own perfections he might impose on it what laws and conditions he pleased, as he might on any other creation of his brain. But in our view of these matters a party is just as independent as its leader, and if it owes him a considerable degree of obedience he owes to it a still sv,larger degree of consideration. Above all, he is not to impose Ministerial questions at discretion. If it supports him in free trade, or the colonies, or education, and other standing mat ters of Parliamentary dispute, it does not follow that he is at liberty to impose a new tax on its allegiance in the shape of a perpetual blockade costing a million a year—not a farthing less —and nd absolutely ineffec tive for its purpose. At this rate no man can say what he may not be called on to vote for. He rises in the morning a free agent, and reads in the notice paper that before night he will be committed to that which he holds in utter abomination. It is bad enough to be pledged to heaps of things by force of custom and prescription, merely because one was born to them or bred to them ; but worse, still, to be under an indefinite obligation to think and do what one has not at present the least idea of. But what is the value of a majority made up of such materials ? The country must take this matter into its serious consideration. A large proportion of our fleet—a fourth, it is said—is employed on this interminable fool's errand in the tropics without the least benefit whatever, but a great • N'.17,936.] LONDON , WEDNESDAY '" , • - . . ,/ _ / t'y ty - " • • t'„ • • fmli` ...1W. 4 7 4 Y1- \v42 • •,•, I , •• • _ , • t • , "( I 4 ,! .

The performance of Verdi's Nino at - this theatre last evening was honoured by the presence of her Majesty and Prince Albert, who occupied the box heretofore known as the Queen Dowager's box, being one farther from the stage than the box which her Majesty occupied during the preceding seasons. Her Majesty and the Prince i.iriaine'd until the con clusion of the magnificent ballet Les Metamor phoses, with which they, seemed highly delighted. rhe opera of N ivao was performed last evening for the purpose of introducing to an English audience a new baritone, Signor Lorenzo, who, as Lorenzo de Montemerli, has recently achieved an im mense success in Paris, a success which, judg ing from w h a t we sawof him lest even ing,- will be more than equalled by his triumphs in this country. His voice is of the purest and sweetest quality, 'Of gre a t fl ex ibili ty , f u ll of ex pression, and he always siugiin tune, a rare thing among baritone singers. His features arc remarkably handsome and expressive, his figure is com manding, and his action at once graceful and ener getic. His performance in the:seCond act, in which his crown is struck from his head .by lightning, was sub.. lime. Never have we seen the feeling of solemn awe so characteristically yet so classically delineated as it was by Signor Lorenzo last evening in this scene. His attitude at the mement he is struck was a stud' for the sculptor. in the beautiful duet w ith A bigail in the third act, "Oh di qual onto," he was full of pathos; never haen we heard the pas sage "Ah de perdona " so feelingly rendered ; and in the finale, where, having made his peace with Heaven, he once more resumes his sword, he was full of animation, energy, said dignity. He seemed indeed a king, ay, every inch a king. He was much applauded throughout, and the duet with Parodi (who was the Abigail), in the third act, was encored. He was frequently called on dur ing the course of the performance. The Abigail of Parodi is by far the best on the lyrical stage. Impassioned, yet majestic— haughty, yet impulsive—at once revengeful and am bitious, the slave Queen is a character to which Ma demoiselle Parodi alone of all our lyric artistes can do full justice. Her genius and her power enable her to act the character, while her youthful appearance enables her also to look it, and the consequence was that last evening the representation was perfect. The great improvement in her vocalization, which we re marked in her Medea, was again conspicuous last evening. Her Abigail was as perfect as a piece of vo calization as it was as a histrionic performance. Be]- letti was tee High Priest ; this has always been one of his greatest characters, and he was last night as great as ever. Solemn and impressive in his manner, his singing was, as it always is, critically correct and most effective. Orostaspe left nothing to be desired. Madame Giuliani made a most interesting Fenena. She was encored in her final air, which was beautifully rendered. Signor Michelli as Istaspe was painstaking, but the music of " Verdi the violent" occasionally overpowered his voice. The numerous choruses were well rendered, and the " Va Pensiero" was, according to custom, encored. At the conclusion Signor Lorenzo and Mademoiselle Parodi were called on. The beautiful ballet Les Metamorphoses, which nightly increases in popularity, followrd, and was enthusiastically rec e i ve d. L es Metamorphoses promises to be a ballet " not for a season but for all time." The house was very fashionably attended.

LOAN TO THE DUBLIN AND BELFAST JUNCTION.-- We have heard from good authority that there is;almost the certainty of the Government advancing the Dublin and Belfast Junction Company 160,0001. or 200,000/. on loan; but the Chancellor cf the Exchequer, in his finan cial statement on Friday night, made no allusion what ever to the subject. He proposes to advance a sum of 200,0001. for land improvements, and 800,0 The 001. for arte rial drainage, but nut one word about railways. absence of all allusion to the loan, however, in the finan cial statement, is not to be taken as conclusive a g ainst its beir , granted, though it wou ld be well if t he direc tors were prepared to apply a gentle pressure, as early as possible after the Easter recess.—frisk Railway Gazette.

A million a year is a low estimate of the expense. By the admission of the philanthro pists, as expressed in the amendment placed on the notice paper, not only is that expenditure quite thrown away, but it involves the dire contingency of " remonstrances with other Powers, consistent with the character of this country." So it is out of the question to talk of reducing our fleet under there cir cumstances. This one monster waste swallows up ' all our savings. It is a mere farce to cut down the salaries of poor little officials, and do other igno rninious cheese-paring, flint-skinning sort of.work, if all the while we are playing at pitch and toss with a million at a time. Yet this is to be made a Minis terial question. Then economy is not a Minis terial question. The Whigs fir,t came in on the Civil List. They stick in on the African squaciror. Out of the Civil List they have contrived to save n few odd thousands, which, in the course of a half century or so, will amount to one year's cost of the African squadron. TRAGEDY AT CLAYTON-ON-THE lIEIG TITS. HALIFAX, MARC [I 19.—The beautiful and secluded . . ttle village of Clayton was on Saturday the scene of a dreadful tragedy, in consequence of a young man recently married having shot his wife through the left breast and blown out his own brains. Tne subjects of the present tragical occurrence are two young people, named Abraham and Elizabeth Jessop, each about 25 years of age, and the cause of it an un happy and ill-assorted marriage, leading to a separa tion, which the wife's friends had unwisely attempted to render permatient, instead of seeking a reconcilia tion. The main supporta of the village are some extensive stone quarries in the neighbourhood ; and Jessop, who had come to reside therefrom Brighouse, was a smith, and was principally employed in sharpen ing the delvers' tools. He had paid his addresses to the girl for some twelve or eighteen months, and about three months ago they were married. Jessop had not a cottage furnished to take his wife to, and they took up their residence along with the wife's mother and sister. Almost immediately afterwards quarrels with his wife and her friends led to his being turned out of the mother's house, and a consequent separation. He had attempted in vain a reconciliation ; and the unhappy man seems to have sought an interview on S3tur day evening last, with a view to putting a period to ail future stri'e and heartburning about the matter by murdering his wife, and afterwards destroying himself. After fortifying himself by taking several glasses of ardent spirits, he entered the house where she resided about half-past three o'clock on Saturday afternoon, and found her in the presence of her mother and sister. He asked her to accompany him to the door for the purpose of a private conversation, but she declined, observing that she had no secrets which her mother might not hear. Ha then attempted to induce his wife to give him an audience in another room, telling her she might relate what passed afterwards to her mother if she thought fit. This she also raused, and he then took from one of his coat pockets a pistol, and hastily advancing towards her, discharged it with the muzzle almost close to her person. The ball took effect in the left breast, but missed the heart, piercing the breast in the direction of the left arm, and emerging immediately under the arm. Before any attempt at interference could be made, he then drew a second pistol, and placing it under his right ear, dis charged the contents through his bead. The unfor tunate wife ran to the door and sank upon the cause way, in a state of insensibility. She was afterwards carried to bed by her mother and some neighbours who lent assistance, and surgical aid being procured and. the wounds stanched, she still survives. It is feared, however, that the ball has passed through a portion of the lungs, and that she cannot ultimately recover. The wound which Jessop inflicted on him self was of a more immediately mortal character. He fell at once upon the floor, and expired in a pool of blood—his skull being fearfully shattered. The body was removed to the Black Horse publit-hkse in Clayton. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY. LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S OFFICE, FEB 21, 1850.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. With much regret we have to record the death of Mr. Amedroz, the late chief clerk of the Admiralty, which took place at his residence on Monday after noon. This gentleman, whose health had long been failing, retired from office about a year since, after an unusually long period of half a century's service. He was a man of the strictest integrity, and a most valuable public servant, particularly so during the war, being very useful in the military and political department of the Admiralty, over which, for many years prior to his becoming chief clerk, he had the control. Mr. Amedroz was universally respected by the Lords and Secretaries of the Admiralty under whom ho served, for his honourable, upright cha racter, and no less so by his colleagues in office. Mr. Amedroz bad a pension of 1,0001. per annum. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—We are requested to state that the Lords of the Admiralty have under their consideration the propriety of subscribing to ward the funds for establishing a sailors' home in this port. The " rot" has got into the Monarch, 84, at Sheer ness, which, it is expected, will prevent her commis sion. A survey was held on Friday by Rear-Admiral Berkeley, M.P., C.B. ; Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, Surveyor of the Navy; and the Master Shipwright of Sheerness Dockyard. The Niger steam-sloop, of the reserve squadron, has been removed from the jetty to the sea basin to day, preparatory to being docked to have her waste steam-pipes and bottom examined. The Lily, 12, Commander Bedford, hauled off from the dockyard into the stream this afternoon. She will be ready for sea by the 30th. WOOLWICH, MARCH. 19—The First Lord of the Admiralty held a levee to-day at Whitehall, which was attended by the following officers : Captains—James Scott, C.B.

BURNHAM, BUCHS.-011 .Saturday night, about nine o'clock, considerable con asternation was created in this till recently quiet village by the discovery that an alarming fire had broken out en the farm premises in the occupation of Mr. W. Till, whieh ended in the total destruction of nearly the whole of the buildings, the dwelling-house included. The flaa,c-, were fires see is issuing from the barn, in which were about twelve qurrters of thrashed wheat,. and e large quantity of straw; the whole of which was con sumed. It then communicated with the stables and dwelling-house, which were quickly a head of ruins, giving the inmates barely time to save a portion of their furniture, &e. The buildings being situated close to the-street the village engine was quickly on the spot, t.ut rho devouring eletnebt spread with such awful rapidity dirt scarcely any portion of the buildings was saved. Amongst the property destroyed were a winnowing ma chine and a large quantity of potatoes. The buildings are insured in the Royal Exchange, and the corn. which belonged to a person named Williams, and which bad been teken there to be thrashed out, is insured in the Sun-office. There is no doubt that the fire was the act of :us incendiary; making the third fire of that descrip tion that has occurred in the village in the short space of one month. This fire had hardly subsided when another extensive conflagration was observed to be raging in the neighleiurhood. This second fire was found to be of a more destructive character than the one above stated. It happened on the farm premises of Mr. John Nash, situated at Langley, about tour miles from Burnham. An engine was soon on the spot, and the fire was eventually subdued, but not till a great destruc tion of property had taken place; three barns, the stables, the outbuildings, three straw ricks, the stables belonging to the Harrow inn adjoining, with a thrash ing machine, a drill, and other implements being totally consumed. This tire also is supposed to be the act of an incendiary. The property, we hear, is insured. ROYAL ITALIAN OFERA. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Knot honoured the performances at Co vent-garden Theatre with her presence last evening. Her Royal Highness occupied the Queen's box. and was accompanied by his Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar. In the Royal suite were the Baroness de Speth, Lady Fanny Howard, Lady Mary Howard, and Sir George Couper. Among the leading fsshion ables in the boxes and stalls were the Duke end Duchess of Norfolk and Lady Adel:zs Fitzalaa Howard, the Marchioness of Westmeath and Miss Eoliths, the Countess of Malmesburv, the Countess Grey and Lady Alice Lambtor, the Countess of Glengall, the Earl Bruce, the Countess of Mitt) and the Ladies Harriett and Charlotte tt,e Countess of Essex and Miss Johnstone, Vis count Maynard and the Hon.

JEWS' INFANT SCHOOL.—A bail in aid of the funds of this charity took place List night, at Willis'a Rooms, under the patronage of some of the most (Hatay guishen members of the Jewish persuasion interested in the success of the charity. 'Abe assemblage was very numerous, and tho dressts and ornaments of the ladies were of the most chaste and elegant description. Danc ing commenced shortly after ten o'clock, to the music of Jullieree able bard, and was continued until an early hour in the morning. Thu refreshments were, as usual at assemblies of this character, of the choicest kind, and were profusely served during the whole of the evening. The entertainment appeared to give the utmost satisfac tion to all present, and the arrangements reflected much credit on the good taste of the honorary secretary, Mr. Walter Josephs, and of the gentlemen by whom the bail was conducted so successfully. The subscriptions re ceivetramounted to about 300/. The mercantile advices from New York by the America, are favourable as regards the money end stock markets, but in other resFects they contain nothing of importance. The rise in stocks had been chiefly caused by the continuance of the European demand. Money was abundant, and in New York, as in most of the other cities of the world at this time, large amounts appear to be seeking investment. The importations of foreign goods had been large, and there was every sign that an active business would be maintained, but the steady de cline in cotton on this side during the last few weeks will probably render it henceforth less buoyant than had been anticipated. By tLe accounts from Mexico, via Mobile, it appears that the United States Minister, Mr. Robert P. botcher, had arrived in that capital on the 2d of February, and that at that period political affairs were perfectly quiet. According to a letter said to have been received from Messrs. Manning, Markoe, and Co., of Vera Cruz, dated the 6th of February, the house of Manning and Mackintosh, of Mexico, had been run upon in consequence of a malicious combination, but they bad not only promptly met every demand, but had alse discounted a large amount of their acceptances in antici pation of maturity. Iti.)YAL SOCIETY OF MUSICIANS.—In addition to the liberal donations awarded to this useful and charita ble institution at the late annual festival, we are informed that his Royal Highness Prince Albert has since for warded a very handsome sum to the treasurer, to be applied to the purposes of the charity. Moray MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris is 15 per mine, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex• change of 25.52; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.47. it follows that gold is 0.18 per cent. dearer iu Paris than in London. By advices from Hemburgh the price of gold is 4363- per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce foe ganders' gold, gives an exchange of 13.104; and tbe ex change at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.111, it follows that gold is 0.34 per cent dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1084 per cent., and the per of exchange between I.:nr.iland and America being 109 2340 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.83 per cent. against Eng land. But, after making allowance for difference o: interest and charges of transport, the present rate does not admit of gold being exported to the United States. DEATH OF A MISER WORTH 50,0001.—During the last few da% a considerable interest has been excited in the neighbourhood of Sadler's `yells, in consequence of the death of Mr. Wm. Crew, hairdresser, No. 32. Arlirgten-street, who, though always living in the most penurions manner, is said to have died worth 50,0001. The following facts have been stated en good authority. Deceased came up a charity boy, in 1790, to try his for tune in London, and alas taken as errand boy by Mr. Fiederick Hartland, hairdresser, at Sadler's Wells, on whore death he succeeded to the business. Ho was re markable for his penurious habits, and, after some years, married a person as penurious as himself. About a week before his death he disclosed to Mr. Turpin that he was worth nearly 50,0001. in scrip in railway companies, houses, &e., which he promised to leave to him, and, after his death, the draft of a will to that effect was found. His bed consisted of a few raga. His property which he made by loans and speculations in the stocks and public companies, is claimed by a cousin of the de ceased, and the case is likely to cause litigation. THE EXPLOSION AT HOUNSLOW.—From inquiries made on Saturday as to the state of the wounded men, Henry Clillord, John Compton, and William Pearce, it vas ascertained that Clfford, who was injured very much, is still fully expected to survive; but John Comp ton is still lying in a most precarious state. William Peatce is going on most favourably. E(PLOSION OF FIRE DAMP.—TIIIRTERN LIVES LOST.—A correspondent, writing from Wigan, says that between six and seven o'clock on Saturday morning an explosion of fire-damp took place at Messrs. Evans and Turner's colliery in Haydock, situated about a mile and a half from Newton race-ground. The explosion occurred in what is called the " Rock-pit," and 13 persons were either burned or smothered to death, some of them being literally burned to a cinder. It appears that eleven of the parties were working in a drift 1,000 yards from the pit-eye, withoutiany conductor, when the explosion took place; all of whom were burned to death. Two others were working about 120 yards nearer the pit-eye, and they, on hearing the explosion, rushed into the f ace of the fire, instead of making to the pit-eye. The names of the sufferers are as follows: John Durdom and his son (the elder) Ralph, leaving a wile and five chil dren; William Batteraby, wife and four children; William Knowles, one child, and wife (pregnant) ; Ralph Unsworth and John, his son (the elder), leaving a wife and four children ; John Glare. leaving a wife and five children; John Holloway. drawer to Glare, killed at the same time ; John Simm, James Bailey, Christopher Heskette Thomas Glover, and Joseph Hatton—all young men. The men were allowed safety lamps, if they thought proper to use them ; but there does not appear to have been any re striction against working with naked candles, although the men had to run away from the fire the day before the fatal occurrence took place. ARCTIC VOYAGERS.—The Hul l Advertiser says : "An affecting scene occurred on Tuesday last at this port, when 22 seamen, accustomed to the northern regions, and who had been engaged by Captain Austin, R.N., C. 8., to accompany him in search of Sir John Franklin, took leave of their wives and children upon the pi er of the Humber dock, and immediately afterwards departed in the steam-ship Vivid, for London, there t o j o i n their commander_ and his crew, who are to sail on the lot of May."
