IMPERI. AMENT. HOUSE OF CO:4MO2VS, May 28. CORONERS' BILL. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. B. DENISON agreed with the Secretary of State for the Home Department that the whole subje c t should be referred to a Select Committee. Mr. W. WILLIAMS supported the second reading of the Bill, because he thought it quite unnecessary that the subject should be referred to a Select Committee. :Mr. J. EVANS objected to the principle of the Bill, because he thought that the system of paying coroners by salaries was injudicious. Sir J. PARINGTON was not averse to a general inquiry, but he thought that if' they passed tho present Bill they would very soon find that such an inquiry was unnecessary. Lord HARRY VANE replied, and consented to postpone the second reading of the Bill until after a Select Committee had reported on the subject. The amendment for the appointment of a Meet Com mittee was then agreed to. AUDIT OF RAILWAY ACCOUNTS BILL. The House then went into Committee on this Bill, Mr. BERNAL in the Chair. On clause 8 being proposed, Mr. E. ELLICE moved as an amendment the inser tion of the words, " That the auditors shall in like man ner, once in every year, request to be produced to them accounts of every sum of money paid to any engineer employed upon the line of railway and works of each company, and also of every account due by this com pany for any work done upon such railway ; and it shall be lawful for the auditors, if they shall think fit, to refer all such accounts, whether paid or un p a id, t o s ome com petent p erson to examine the same, and to report to the auditors upon the charges in such accounts, and as to the expediency of submitting the same to the decision of a competent court." Mr. G. C. GLYN said, if the amendment were agreed to, ho should w i t hd raw h i s support f r om the whole Bill. Mr. B. DENISON on that account would not oppose d the insertion of the words, because he wanted to get rid of the Bill altogether, and he thought the Bill would be made more objectionable than ever by the insertion of them. Mr. E. ELLICE said he was certainly opposed alto. gether to the Bill, but his only object was to render it as . effectual as possible, if they were to have it. Mr. LABOUCHERE supported the amendment. Mr. RICARDO also supported the amendment in the hope of adding one more absurdity to the Bill. M r . ELLIS entirely objected to the principle of the Bill, and expressed his intention of affording every pos sible obstruction to it. After some discussion the House divided, when there appeared — For the amendment •••• .. 77 Against it . 42 Majority ... " Mr. PACKE said this Bill was a mass of inconsistency from beginning to en d , and it waa a waste of time to persevere with it. He should therefore move that the Chairman do quit the chair. Mr. LOCKE having consented to withdraw many ob jectionable parts of the Bill, had hoped that he would be allowed to proceed with it. If the House waited, as it appeared desirous to do, until the railway directors themselves brought in a Bill, it would have to wait till Doomsday. The Bill might have defects, bat, at all events, it had merits too, and the opposition of the directors convinced him of that. He trusted the Rouse would not allow it to be thrown over. If the Bill were passed, the shareholders would be able to exercise a more constant, vigilant, and equitable control over their affairs. Mr. GLYN supported the Bill, and said it had been introduced in compliance with an understanding at a deputation to the Noble Lord at the head of the Go vernment. He, however, stated that he iiad objections to some of the clauses. Mr. PE TO hoped the House would not agree to the amendment that the Chairman should leave the chair. Captain EGERTON thought it was no use wasting the time of tho House in discussing a Bill, the first (dame of which was admitted to be open to such objections. After a few words from Mr. ELLacz and Mr. AGLIONBY, Mr. MCNTZ said he was decidedly opposed to the principle of the Bill. Why should railway companies be placed in a different situation to other people? They might as well pass a Bill to audit the accounts of canal companies, or private individuals who were not able to sudit them themselves, as attempt to pass the present measure. Mr. LABOUCHERE considered the result of the dis cussion would convince the House and the public how vain it was to expect that any great alteration of the system of auditing railway accounts would emanate from railway directors. Mr. B. DENISON . condemned the Bill as being de fective in many of its clauses. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the motion of Mr. Packs 62 Against it Majority .. ... —6 The Bill was consequently lost. COUNTY COURTS. The County Courts Further Extension Bill was read a second time. FARM BUILDINGS. The Farm Buildings Bill went through Committee. SPANISH FRIGATES. Sir G. PECHELL moved for an account of all moneys received at the Bank of England or otherwise, to the account of the Exchequer, in respect of the treasure and other articles on board the Spanish frigates captured on the sth day of October, 1804, by the ships under the orders of Captain Graham Moore; with a mum of the manner in which the several sums were appropriated, distinguishing the amount that was awarded to the captors.—Agreed to. TRIALS OF HER MAJESTY'S SAILING VESSELS. Sir GEORGE PECHELL also moved for a return of the several trials of sailing of ber Majesty's ships Leander, Phaeton, Arethusa, Indefatigable, Thetis, Ar rogant, and Dauntless, between the 12th day of March, 1850, and the 3d day of May, 1851, stating by whom the said ships were built, with the report of Com modore Martin as to their several qualifications for all purposes as vessels of war.—Agreed to. The House then adjourned. IFUN GAI GEES IN TURKEY. On Monday night a meeting 4 of the inhabitants of Notting-hill, Beyswater, .. t , was held at the Prince Albert Hotel, Notting hill, memorialize the Govern ment and Parliament to take m u easr, e s si a w nd in a Turkey." against the forci ble detention:of the Hungarian refuge The hotel was hung outside with Enilish unge b rian flags, and inside with banners on which were i "Kossuth and Independence: " Klepka, the inscribed Comoro," " Vetter, the Hero of - lierbas, who defeated Jellachich." On each side of the room was hung the arms of Hungary, and at the back of the chair hung a aplendie oil painting of Kossuth, which ho had sat for at Arad a short time previous to the termination of the war. Mr. liuteeoeo having been called to the chair, said— Gentlemen, from the handbills of this meeting, y ou are aware of th e words which have reached us from a gloomy and distant tomb.

Louis Kossuth, who pos sessed the confidence of big countrymen, was at the head of the Government, and you remember Mat heroic deeds have been displayed by that noble people. Under the government of Kossuth Hungary defeated not only the power of Austria, but all the various peoples who were instigated by Austria to attack them.

God dard, Esq., be treasurer." A handsome bouquet of Hungarian colours, red, white, and green, was presented by the secretary to Madame Pul,ity and General Vetter who defeated Jellachich (who were present) amidst loud cheers. Thanks were voted to the Chairman and the meeting, which was the largest over known in Notting-hill, then separated. The following is a copy of the memorial agreed to by the meeting : TO THE RICHT HON. LORD VISCOUNT PALMERSTON, HER MAJESTY'S PRINCIPAL SECRETARY FOR FOREIGN AF FAIRS. The Memorial of the undersigned, Showeth,—That your memorialists beg most respect fully to call your Lordship's attention to the continued detention of Louis Kossuth, the Hungarian patriot, in Turkey. `• That whilst by the law of nations a political refugee in a neutral country is entitled not only to protection hut to liberty, the ex-Governor of Hungary, who sought an asylum on Turkish territory is, iu violation of every principle of justice, deprived of his freedom, and is now suffering the mental tortures of a banishment beyond the confines of the civilized world in the unhealthy district of Kutahia. " That your memorialists would not feel themselves justified in interfering in this case, had it not been the recognised principle of our foreign policy that England should maintain the integrity of the Turkish empire, and had not, your Lordship, acting upon that principle, dis patched a strong naval force to support the Turkibh Go- ' vernment at the time when Kossuth and his companions took refuge in that country. " That by this policy England is virtually a party to the subsequent treatment of these refugees, by which the Porte is degraded to the office of gaoler to Austria, and an illustrious patriot, whose genius and virtues have gained for him the sympathy of the civiliz-d world, has been deprived of the rights which by the law of nations the meanest political exile is entitled to demand of the hands of a neutral Power. " That your memorialists respectfully intreat your Lordship's attention to these facts, and they implore you, for the sake of the honour of England, from a sense of ustice and humanity, and for the interest of Turkey, whose moral power is endangered by being forced to de tain Kossuth against her own will, to exert all the moral power of England for the liberation of Louis Kossuth and his associates in captivity." ATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—We are advised by the Niagara Ghat, oa the receipt of letters from Liverpool to the 26th ult. there ensued a further decline of ic. to lc. per lb. in the New York Cotten market, from which, however, there was a subsequent re-action, leaving prices about lower on the 14th than they were on the 7th instant. The i ncrease on the receipts is not quite in the Proportion as is the previous week. These ac counts have produced very little effect on this side; such as it is, however, it tends to steadiness. A good many spinners aro making small purchases of cotton, which is quoted I-160. to id. higher than at theclose of Friday last; but, on that clay, there was a p?uliar pros. sure upon the Liverpool market, in consequence of its being in some cases imperative to effect sales before the closing. rst the tanks. In our cwn markets (where a cautions avoidance of stocks, for months back, has now sovod the trade from panic,) we have nu 11C4131 re covery from the point to which prices had fallen on Saturday last—the lowest point of this downward course. But real prices are, at any rate, better ascer tained; there is more regularity and more steadiness. And, seeing their way more clearly, looking upon prices as safe for the supply of immediate wants, many of the buyers have been disposed to give out small orders to the spinners and manufacturers, who, pursui ng t h e i r previous policy, have still been inclined to avail them selves of every fair opportunity of selling; so that, al though the business of the day is altogether very limited in amount, it certainly shows a slight general increase both in yarns and goods. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—There has been a rather better attendance of buyers in the market to-day than on the previous Monday, but the amount of business transacted has been much the same, with little or no variation in price. The wool market has been quiet, and prices sta tionary. MACCLESFIELD, MESDAY.--190 are unable to report any amelioration in the state of the manufactured goods trade.

A vary rare bird of the falcon species was shot lately at Inverbroom, iu Ross-shire, by Mr. Gr ant , game _ keeper to A. K.

England duly appreciated the righteousness of the Hungarian cause. Our sympathies have been shown in a proper manner, not only iu this room but all over England, and public opinion, which is heard and respected all over the world, has hitherto expressed the warmest wishes for Hungary. It is our interest not only that Hungary should be free, but that Turkey, which is our high road to India, should also be protected from Russian in fluence or coercion. But diplomacy, the cold execu tioner of nations, was satisfied, I am ashamed to say. wi th the consent of the British Government, to betray the cause which was the be s t, th e h o li est , s i nce t h e w orld b e gan. te The Hungarians have b een over p o wered by th e w nations, and the world has read of the horrid and floggings whi c h were - comm itted in _ e r nau......(senia. eethae m d u A rd r e ad rs by that disgra ce t o h uman nature, obliterated from H y hon.)

After th e d e f eat of Hungary, some Hungar i ans gallows went to Turkey with Kossuth, in th e expectation of finding the hospitality which was offered to him, but is he free now? Did the Turks keep their word? You know that the English people have often expressed their sympathies for Hungary, but nothing has yet been done for them, unless that by the consent of our Government they have been confined fora longer time. This shows me, what all' England ought to be ashamed of, that the policy of Aussie and Austria prevails over that of Great Britain, and that the will of Austria, which some time ago did not exist at all, is now more powerful than that of the people of England. Gentlemen, attempts have been made to assassinate the gallant and noble-minded Kossuth more th an once since his detention in Turkey. He now appeals to as fr om t h at pr i son, where diplomacy intends to bu r y him if you allow it. It is for us English men, by calling public meetings all over our country, to prevent it. It is not consistent with our humanity that our Government should in our name close the prison doors upon Kossuth for ever, and it would be the greatest crime before God and man if it is allowed. The world will say that we have turned coldly away from the cries of a noble man and allowed him to be buried alive. Let us take the earliest opportunity of sending an address to the Queen, who, I am sure, must shudder at the name of I a dynasty that murdered a relation of hers, General Count Leinengen, by order of a boy 18 years of age, who has shown himself to be truly the father of his people by bombarding nearly every city in his dominions. The following resolutions were then passed:— Moved by W. GLAssc3c.K, Esq., seconded by J. SMITH, E.q.— " That an address be presented to Lord Palmers ton, requesting that he will be pleased promptly and energetically to use all his infl3enee with the Turkish Government to procure the immediate libera tion of Kossuth and his companions from Kutahia." .Moved by T. J. SEALE, Esq., seconded by Mr. NZ CHOLAS— "'Tat a memorial be sent to Lord Palmers ton, with a deputation consisting of Mr. Searle, Mr. Nicholay, Lord Dudley Stuart, Mr. Danford, Mr. Glass cock, Mr. Benest, T. Goddard, Esq., and Mr. Burden; and that the deputation report the result of the interview with his L .rds.ip, the Foreign Secretery, to another public meeting." Moved by Mr. BENEST, seconded by Mr. BROWN— " That England, feeling as desiroui as the American Republic t do honour to Kossuth and his companions in exile, this meeting hopes that the Government will give instructions to one of oar steamers to receive and bring to England the before-mentioned refugees, now so shame fully detained at lititabia." Moved by Mr. HALL, seconded by MARE PIIILLIPS, Esq.= in Britain. The following description will enable oreitho;ogiAs to understand the diff , rence between the Iceland falcon and those of this country. Weight of the bird, 31b. 1 5:x.; length, 21 inches; extent of wings, 3 feet 9 inches; legs pale blue; beak, tip, black, str u n g , an d d esply notched; bead, ash colour and white, beautif u ll y bl ended and mixed; all the backblue; feathers and part o f t h e wings, pile ash, with dull white edges, and several white spots on each feather; tail barred with dusky white; throat, belly, and legs white, curiously marked with bars of brown, pear, oval, and heart shaped. The entire plumage is a rare in stance of nature's harmonious colouring, and the hues are like the moss and snow -tinted hills of the falcon's na tive clime.--Inverness Courier.

On the 26th of Jan uar y, 17 88, o f w hi c h yesterday es. (Sunday) was th e sixty-third anniversary, the Br i t i s h 114 flag was hoisted at the h ea d o f S y d ney C ore, an d th e 0 , % colony of New South W a l es was f oun d e d w i t h a ll th e ss. formalities usual on suc h occas i ons. C apta i n A rt h ur Phillip, who had sailed from E n gl an d i n t h e Si r i us , under a commission to assume the office of Governor 34 on his arrival, drank th e h ea l t h o f G eorge 6 d M., as he stood, surrouaded by his officers, on the I % spot where the d oc k yar d now stan d s . Th e new colony, in. 0 , • it need scarcely be stated, was intended for a penal set u tlement, and the first Governor was charged with the , transport of 757 convi c t s , o f whom were females. es e As a guard of sa f e ty, an d f o r th e p ro t ect i on o f t h e the infant establishment, a detachm en t o f I e d d ofwe makin g ,e l e o o f orh hundred rank and file acccmpanied the convoy, with the official staff, an aggre gate souls. At the commencement of the present cent ur y th e po p u l a ti on numbered ab ou t 5 .000 which bas Maly fold in fifty years, During this period settlement now increased to something like 300,000, or after settlement has been formed, and colony after colony raised to independence; whereof the last and most im portant instance is the erection of our own district into a separate province, bearing the honoured and honour able name of her Most Gracious Msjesty, Queen Victoria. If, in addition to the increase of population, we take an estimate of the commerce of New South Wales from the last returns of her exports and imports, the wealth which has been progressively accumulated by the people of which that little band of free and convict colonists was the nucleus, is little short of marvellous ; and if we look at the result of the wool sales since the successful importation of the pure Merino by Mr. Msearthur, the prosperity of Australia will be seen to have advanced with giant strides from that par ticular period. It was this movement, perhaps, which, more than all others, gave the grand impulse to free ins migration; which has nevertheless been considerably from Aar:miner, checked, more especially as regards a higher class of capt mmaaeinsst.3"teboeo talists, by a natural reluctance to embark their wealth, and fix tkoir residence, in a penal colony. Hence it was at ut tber length deemed necessary to discontinue transportation by an order in Council; and hence it followed by Sr DomiGo' ference, and 21 feet e ' " Domingo that Sir Robert Schomburgk, her degrees that a free people, jealous of their liberties, have achieved to themselves the privilege of 8:---------------:-0,:1:itsirianilli:csovIeNred som e very interesting re a granite ring 2,270 fee' n breadth.

SAILINti ILIE PRINCE Melee:RT. (From the Aberdeen Journal of Wednesday.) It is now fully expected that the vet sal wilt leave either this afternoon or early to-morrow ( Thursday). As the subject is one full of interest to the public, we have been at some pains to glean the following particulars regarding this new expedition:— The design is to proceed direct to Griffith's Island, which is the appointed rendezvous, and the place where Captain Austin is likely to have deposited any important information of which he may be possessed. Should no such intelligence be found, the Prince Al bert will proceed to winter ground, as tar down Prince Regent's Inlet as can be reached tor ice, possibly to Brenttord, or Croswell Bay, from which the boat parties will be dispatched. It is rzpectei that a pas sage for a very considerable distance will be obtained for the boats at the channel, along the shore, formed by the geed tide, and which admits of boar, though not of ship navigation. Very much may be expected from the services of the boat parties; indeed, it may be safely affirmed that by this means alone can success be attained, if it is attainable. So tar as human means can accomplish that result, wo believe that, from the efforts of Mr. Ken nedy, and his men, there is much to hope in the way of, at least, relieving the deep and uni • versal anxiety that prevails as the fate of the missing ex . pedition. What adds to the reasonableness of this view is, that Sir John Franklin is most likely to have, if such a course had been practicable, retreated in the direction of Fury Beach, which Capt. Forsyth nearly approached last year, but without landing, as the only spot where he knew provisions were to be left by Ross, sad he would also naturally judge that thither would anxious eyes be turned to seek to effect his discovery. If the Prince Albert should not accomplish the object of her search in the course of this year, it is the intention to remain two years, or till the autumn of 1852. It is of course a possible contingency that, though some measure of success be attained, the vessel may be prevented by the ice from returning this season, so that in either of these cases, namely, detention in the ice or I want of success, the first year, we shall have to wait for the return of the Kennedy expedition till the autumn of next year. The Prince Albert is amply provided in the way of stores till that period. It was at one period deigned to adopt the plan re ce commended some time ago, of ascending in balloons, so as to command a bird's e ) e view over a wide extent and distance, and by this means gain an advantage in at tempting to descry traces, if not the missing expedition le itself. Whatever merits such an expedition may have, it le is believed that those machines, by occupying space, would impede the operations of the boat parties— an objection which must be regarded as fatal to the plan. Mr. Kennedy takes out with the expedition sevee car rier pigeons, which may probably be found useful as the % means of conveying to this country or to America any information which he may deem important. Six of % these birds have been p resente d b y M r. Hodgson, 4 of London; and it is an important particular, deser ving of special remembrance, that in the case of their arrival in this country, means have been taken to 4 ensure that there shall be no mistake as to the birds 5i themselves, and also that the tidings of whiCh they may be the bearers shall not be lost. The first of these % objects is secured by the name of the donor—Hodgson— being stamped on the wiegs with a red solution of an a i abiding quality; and the other, by the expt client of in % formation being written in similar substence on thin linen, which is to be sewed about the leg. The other %% pigeon, which bears the name of Lady Ross, was pre. seated by Mrs. Dunlop, of Ayr, and is believed to be od the identical one (or one of two) sent home last year by Sir J. Ross. The Prince Albert carries three boats—one of muho gany, one of common materials, and one of gutta percha. Messrs. Duthie have built a boat specially for Mr. Kennedy's use. It is twenty -two feet long only two feet wide at the midships, or broadest part, and after being covered with hide or gutta perchs, with ono person sitting in it—canoe fashion—it is calculated to draw only tnree inches of water; the depth of the boat is only twelve inches at the seat. It is intended to propel this extraordinary craft after the manner of the natives of these regions, the Esquimaux, by a double-bladed oar; and the persona seated in it will be so covered up with a skin dress, buttoned to the chin, and fastened to the deck, that in the event 'es of its being swamped, it can easily be righted again without any water getting into it. Mr. Kennedy contemplates not only using this boat for crossing rivers over ice, and down rapids, but to make it his couch of repose all night, by simply pulling a blanket over him, and there repose in a temperature that makes one freeze to think of it. He has been accustomed to these hardships, and has stood many nights in similar circumstances, with the thermometer 40 to 50 degrees below zero; often, too, with no covering but the canopy of heaven. It is a somewhat remarkable coincidence, that it is a , precisely six years on Monday last since the departure of Sir J. Franklin. To those who are apt to lose hope of the discovery of the missing expedition, or rather of its safety, it may be some relief to know that Mr. Ken nedy entertains the most sanguine hope, or rather firm persuasion, that at least a portion of Sir John's party is yet alive. Mr. Leask, iee-master of the North Star, who piloted that vessel in 1849.60 through Baffin's Bay and Barrow Straits, is in command of the vessel. Embarked with them is John Hepburn. This brave man, who was with Franklin, Richardson, and Back, in their explo rations of the shores of the Polar Seas, and whose noble conduct, under very trying circumstances has been fully recorded, has volunteered his services Logo in search of his honoured master. The crew of the vessel— seventeen in number, aie all picked men, most of them Orcadians, and a large portion being those who sailed ce. in her last year. Most of them have arrived here, but it will be necessary to call for the others at Stromness. The expedition, it is stated, will be conducted on the teetotal principle—a principle on which Mr. Kennedy himself strictly acts, and which, it is believed, he deems of some consequence to the health and efficiency 16 of the men, and the success of the expedition. An active and enterprising young men, named Cowie, goes out as surgeon. He also has some experience, having al. eady held that position on board of whaling ships. Mr. Ken nedy, having crossed the broad Atlantic to undertake the duty, he goes without fee or reward, animated by a pure devotion to the service, and by a feeling amounting almost to a certain premonition of success. As affording a beautiful illustration of one of the vir tues we have attributed above to Mr. Kennedy, we may mention that at his desire the crew met at the vessel on % Sabbath forenoon, and proceeded to church in a body, riimself and Captain .Leask at their bead, desiring in this way to acknowledge their dependence on Providence in their peculiarly arduous undertaking. As we have stated, M. Bellot, Knight of the Legion of Honour, and a distinguished officer of the French naval service, also accompanies the expedition. M. Bellot gives his ser vices, which are likely to be of no small use, entirely without remuneration, and even Lady Franklin's press % lag entreaty to be allowed to furnish his outfit was de clined. Such an instance of genuine and expansive " fra ternity" is an honour to M. Bella and the French na tion, and will touch the heart of Britain. There is still another instance of noble generosity con nected with the expedition, which demands a brief no tice. A commander in the navy—whose name it is not permitted us to mention—ameng other officers who have volunteered their services to Lady Franklin, accompa nied his proposal to command the Prince Albert with an offer of 100/. towards the equipment of the expedition. Although her Ladyship's previous acceptance of the highly valuable services of Mr. Ken nedy prevented her accepting the noble offer, it deserves ee. to be rec or d e d as h onourable to all concerned. Lady Franklin, accompanied by her niece and never - failing friend, Miss Cracroft, arrived in Aberdeen on Thursday last, to witness the completion of the arrange ments and the departure of the Prince Albert. , 36 0 IV. r WOO MOLD.

TIIE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MAY 29, lB5l. THE Filar STEAM- SHIP that CROSSED THE ATLANTIC. TO THE EDITOR or THE TIMES. Sir,—ln your potential journal of the 22d inst., the following statement occurs in an article descriptive of machinery in the Great Exhibition :—" About 1836.7 the project of crossing the Atlantic was started ; the Sirius was, we believe, the first steam-vessel which per formed this feat." On referring to the Times of June 21, 1819, you will find the following paragraph, credited to Marwade's Commercial Report for that week :—" Among the ar rivals yesterday at this port we were particularly gra tified and astonished by the novel sight of a line steam ship, which came round at 7i P.m., without the assist ance of a single sheet, in a style which displayed the power and advantage of the application of steam to ves sels of the largest sir), being 350 tons burden. She is called the Savannah, Captain Rogers, and sailed from Savannah (Georgia, United States) the 26th of May, and arrived in the Channel five days since. During her passage she worked the engine eighteen days. Her model is beantittil, and the accommodations f,r pa,sen gers elegant and complete. This is the first ship on this construction that has undertaken a voyage across the Atlantic." The Times of June 30, 1819, says—" The Savannah steaei-vessel, recently arrived at Liverpool from America —the first vessel of the kind that ever crossed the At lantic —was chaled a whole day off the coast of Ire land by the Ktie revenue cruiser, on the Cork stati on , which mistook h er f or a ship on fire." Lloyd's list reports the arrival of the Savannah at Liverpool, on the 20th of June, 1819, bound to S t . Peters burgh; and in "G ore ' s Annals of Liverpool" you will find this American steamer's arrival recorded among re markable events. The steam-chip Savannah was an American ship— built, owned, and navigated by Americans. Francis Ficket, of New York, built her for Daniel Dodd; and the engines were made by Stephen Vail, of ilorristown. She was commanded by Captain Moses Rogers, and navigated by Siephen Rogers, of New London, Con necticut, who is still living to see the same voyage per formed in less than half the time by a line of :.truerican steamers, the chief engineer of one of which (the Atlan tic, Captain West) is his nephew, J. W. Rogers. It is not inappropriate to mention that, ut the present writing, the quickest trip across the ocean has been made by the Pacific, one of the Collins line of American steamers, in less than ten days—so that we are not only the first but the fastest. In England, Copenhagee, Stockholm, Si. Peterahurgb, and Constantiitople, the arrival of the steamer Savannah excited great curiosity , and attracted thousands of vi sitors. The King of Sweden presented Ceram Rogers with a " stone and matte, ;" and the Emperor of Russia present, d a "silver teakettle es a token of his gratifica tion at the first atteinp , to cross the Atlantic by steam." Lord Lynedoch, of England, who went passenger in this ship to St. Yetersburgh, presented Stephen Rogers with a "superb gold scuff-b.tx." All these testimonials are now in the p ssu , siou of the family. The leg-book, containing an official account of the voyage, is io the National Institute at Washington city, and may be seen at any time.—Very respectfully, Sir, your obedient servant, 'JOHN S.

He succeeded with some difficulty in forcing him from the woman, who was in such a state of exhaustion and suffering that she was unable for some time to answer his inquiries; but on partially recovering herself she informed him that the prisoner had dragged her out of bed, and after kicking her about the body till she wes a complete mass of bruises, and biting her severely on different parts of her person, he ultimately flung her into the street, and was in the net of renewing his attack upon her when witness fortunately came up and rescued her from fur ther ill-treatment The poor woman directed his at• tention to her shoulders, both or which were much lacerated, and bore the distinct marks of teeth; and she was then assisted into the house of one of her neigh bours, where she was attended by a surgeon, who di rected her immediate removal to the hospital. On hear ing his wife's statement, the prisoner made no attempt to deny any portion of it, but uttered the moat violent invectives against her, and threatened that if she yen tured to give him into custody it ahculd be the last charge she would ever be able to bring forward. The officer added, that he had seen the injured woman that morning, who appeared to be in a very precarious state, and was wholly unable to attend to give evidence in support of the charge. The prisoner, who declined offering any defence, was ordered to be remanded for a week, to afford time for ascertaining the result of the injuries his wife had sue. tabled. SOUTH IVARK. Francis Bemarsh, a punter and gleaier, was placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott, charged with violating Eli zabeth Sweeny, fifteen years of age, the daughter of a leether-dresser, residing at No. 4, Canterbury-place, Old Kent -rood. Mr. Binns attended to conduct the prosecution. Mary Sweeny stated that she is the mother of the complainant, whom she sent to the baker's shop at the corner of the place where they lived, on Tuesday even ing, the 20th instant, about eight o'clock. That the girl did not return, and was assent during the night, and that she (witness) and her husbend had look.-d about and made inquiries everywhere, but heard no tidings of her until the previous evening, when her father found her sitting on the steps of a door near their house, and brought her home. Mr. ELLIOTT, observing that the girl's face, particu larly about the eyes, was black end swollen, asked the cause of the marks?—Her mother replied that her hus band was so exasperated at the conduct of his daughter in staying away from home such a length of time, that in the height of passion be cha•tised her, and occasioned the marks in her face. El . zkbeth Sween), the girl herself, was then call d forward, and, on bt•ing sworn, stated that she knew the prisoner, who lived next door to her father in Ginter bury-place. That on Tuesday, the 20th instant, when her mother sent her on an errand to the baker's shop, she saw the prisoner standing at the corner, and became up and asked her to take a walk with him. She refused, telling him that she was sent on an errand Sum home. He said, Never mind, come with me;" and putting one of his hands round her waist, hurried her along. They walked on until they came to a public house which had a garden at the rear, and they wen: into it, and the prisoner left her for a moment and re turned with a small glass of dark -looking liquor, which he desired her to take. She was induced to drink the contents of the glass, soon after which she felt stupi fled, and they then quitted the place, and he led her to a house at some dietance off, at the door of which he knocked, and they were admitted by a man, and they (the prisoner and herself') went up stairs into a room, the door of which be locked inside, and then he threw her upon the bed. [the here described the particulars respecting the prisoner's conduct towards her, by which it appeared a capital offence had been perpetrated.] In reply to Mr. ELLIOTT, as to whether she made an alarm and called fur a,sistance, she said that the pri soner prevented her by placing one hand on her mouth, ea and that she w as ren d ere d incapa bl e of doing so; that she did not know the neighbourhood where it occurred, and could not point out the house. at. The complainant, i n cont i nuat i on of her statement. S r kr , said that they r ema i ne d i n the house about ten or twelve I to minutes, and the prisoner got up from the bed, un locked the door, and that the moment it was opened she ran down stairs, got out of the house, but was afraid to go home, and went to her aunt's, where she remained that night, but did not mention to her then the manner in which she had been treated by the prisoner, but afterwards described all that had hap• petted to her. Mr. ELLIOTT—DO you still mean to swear that the prisoner is the man by whom you were treated in the way you have described? Complainant, replied in the affirmative, saying that she knew hiss from the circutn stances of his living next door to her father'. house. The complainant further stated that she lent her aunt's house the morning following that on which she slept there, with the intention of going home, hut sbe was stilt afraid, knowing her father was a passionate man, ant; that be would beat her. She, therefere, w .nderetl about the town, and had thoughts of making away wi.h het self, but was anxious to see her parents; and although she want to the neighbourhood where they lived, site was still fearful of the consequences if she went into the house, and instead of doing so sho sat down o n th e step, of a door near their house, where her father touud her and took ber home. The complainant's aunt was examined, and she stated that her neice described the circutniatices ot ttte allege d offence to her precisely as she had done before the ma giscrate, and declared the prisoner was the man, A police . onstsble -'a ed that upon reareiveig infer mation of the alleged offence, when he went to take the prisoner into custody atter h wing described to him th.. nature of the accusation agaiest him, the prisoner seemed to be very much astunisned, and declare d to te there was not any foundation for such a charge as re garded himself. When the prisoner was asked by the magistrate whe ther he wished to make any statement, after heating tut evidence given against hint, a ter lb usual he asserted he had not seen :he girl during the its) men tioned; that at the iitn- she al eged he had taken her 14, a house and perpetrated the offence he was at home at work; and that he never to .4 her to arty public house nor ever had walked a yard with her; that, in fact, everything she had said agamst him was take. Mr. ELLIOTT asked him it he had any person in court to prove that he was elsewhere at the time ot toe alleged offence?
