The Lords met at Five o'clock. After the presentation of a petition by Lord CAMP BELL from an architect, named BERNARD, stating,that he could render the present House of Lords wholesome :sod commodious, I,o'rd MosTr.aou: moved fora roturn of the nomh. - r e wivate Bilk before the House, and of the Pr vrs who c;17.4. , . in Cotnrnitteo on them. few words from the Duke of WELLING - 1 - os an Lord 111"1)1_91) - ALE, Th e r;arl - 0f liEsaoßoucti gave notice that on Thurs (lay he should move that next SUSS , OII a letter should be wri3ev to every Member of that (louse, requFeting to kn.,ov wheo be would be able to attend Committees. Ti;e Marquis of CLANRICARbE then presented two -)et)tiona mtailut the London and York Railway Bill, and seoneluded a lengthened statement of alleged frauds by Ar.ving that the petitions be referred to a ;id e a Com- Inittee. ; nytion led to a di,ienssion, in the course of which the. House was addre.sed by several /loble,LOrtis, and ultimately the motion, was adopted. The 17,?hts Bill, and sever al other measures funs-at-tied s stags ; after which their Lord- Alma eel till Thursday.. . ons met at Four. • NISON presented a petition from the r 1•• .eay 9 4 , he London end Yurk Railway Company, 45;5.'ying; egations of the petition presented yes • ~'~. , . r \ -- -• 11 SI terday, which imputed fraud to the promoters of tbltt Bill. He moved that the petition be printed, and gave notice that on Friday he would fund a motion on the subject. After a short discussion, Sir IL PEEL suggested that a Committee should be appointed, to inquire into the allegations of fraud, made in the petition presented yesterday by Mr. newns, and ultimately the following Gentlemen were appointed as a Committee of Inquiry— Mr. HAWES, Mr. E. B. DENISON, Mr. BARING, Mr. WARBURTON. Mr. B. Escorr, Mr. HUTT and Lord Cza-vz. COL DAMER stated, in answer to the address of the House, that her MAJESTY had ordered 20,0001. to be paid to the sufferers by the fire at Quebec. In answer to Lord PALMERSTON, it was stated by Sir G. CLERK that the Board of Trade disapproved of the practice of attaching two engines to railway trains for the purpose of propelling them. _ _ . Mr. WADDINGTON having alluded to the accident on the Eastern Counties Railway, Mr. WARD said that.he believed it was owing to one of the wedges having got loose, and that nu human fore sight ceuld have provided against it. COlonel SIBTH ORP thought the Government ought to take measures to prevent such accidents, and that the Company should make ample compensation to the suf ferers. Mr. - ,GREGORY complained of the incivility of the offi cials on the Eastern-Counties Railway, and thought the Board of Trade ought to have more power. Colonel WOOD thought one of the Directors ought to reside at the station. Mr. WARD said the Company had agreed, that morn ing, to pay all the expenses of every sufferer by the accident. __Mr. HUME gave notice of a motion on the subject of :rish workhouses. A discussion then ensued, on the order of the day being read for the consideration of the Silk Works Bill, which, after several Jim. Members had addressed the House, was adjourned till Friday next. Lord Joux RUSSELL then rose, and after a few brief preliminary observations took a clear and compre hensive review of the business of the session, adverting in the course of it to the various measures that have been passed affecting our domestic condi tion and foreign pollicy, and concluding by ex pressing a hope that on the commencement of the next session Ministers would be prepared to introduce mea sures more in consonance with the principles of free trade. Sir J. Gaaimilt briefly replied, and, after a few ob- Tvations from weveral other Honourable Members, the ouse adjourned. It is believed by persona likely to be well inforined, 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 fbrturiutus peer) 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. PEF.I. will find no difficulty in Rreserving Lord STANLEY'S dignity unimpaired, while he at one and the same time relieves bim from the heavy responsibility of the Colonial portfolio, and our Colonial Empire from the heavy weight of his grievous mismanagement. What is Lord STANLEY'S exact destiny,—from which of the great honorary posts of the Government he is to 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 we say who ' is to be his successor Rumour names three individuals, two of whom, un doubtedly, would be no better than the doomed Lord STANLEY, while the chief recommendation, at present, of the third is that he is comparatively untried and un known. These three rumoured successors are Mr. GL ADSTONE : LOrd ELLENBOROUGH, and Lord DALHOUSIE. Heaven defend our colonies from the crooked Oxford Jesuit ; far better than that would be Lord ELLENBO ROUGH, or the young and inexperienced Lord DAL- HOUSIE. Lord WHARNCLIFFE, the President of the Council, has been long known to covet the Home-office. Sir J. GRAHAM 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 all the 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 shuf 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 SorroN should be put into some berth which will he a comfortable piovision 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 secretary - ship 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 commenc , ment of his administration by offering one of the Vice-Chancellorships to 'Lord COTTENHAM. This must be Lord 'MAHON'S coosolation for the other wise apparently low estimate of his qualifications, im plied in a proposal that he shalt succeed Mr. EMERSON TENNENT, and be Lord JOCELYN'S junior 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 PACTIA. 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 be favoured the Greeks. Eighty millions of piastres is the estimated amount of damage occa sioned by the fire at Smyrna. According to the Gatnte de Cologne, Prince 31ErrEnNicx 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 MErrEnsicn 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. Ax- TONIO CABRAL had returned to the capital, and had resumed his office of Minister of the Interior. His brother JOSE 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 29th have arrived. The QUEEN, during her stay at Saragossa, had pardoned a criminal under. sentence 'of death. Her MAJESTY wa. expected at St. Sebastian nn the 2d of August. MADRID BOURSE.—Three per Cents., for Cash, 28i; for Account, 29i ; Five per Cents., for Cash, 214 We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The Moniteur publishes various, royal ordivani es---mong them one authorising the Minister of Alarine to apply, in 1845 i:nd 1846. a sum of 9,760,0 0 francs to increase the sqnadron on the 'western coast 1;f Afri. a, mid 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 A/ge,rip, _ABD- EL. KADEtt bad 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 Morocco are adopting measures to prevent hint from returning into their dominions. On the Ist inst. the Duke end Duchess of NEMOURS arrived at Perigueux. Count .ilittssoN 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 CERIOLA had been furtunate 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 Pr , ?gressista conspiracy for the especial purpose of involving CERIOLA. The col- leagues of NARVAIKZ, however, demurred to taking any part in such an iniquitous scheme, and CEPIOLA, having been put on hi guard, escaped to Paris. There wgs nothing done in the Funds on Sunday. The following are the quotations for tho 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.M. 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 traha 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 hand, 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. . . ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. We have just seen a gentleman who was one of the pas sengers by the up-train from Norwich, and who witnessed the accident. Ile 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 Chesterford, 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. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. An accident occurred on the Eastern Counties Railway, on Monday, to the train leaving town for Norwich, at half past eleven o'clock, a.m., by which the fireman on the train lost his life and one of the guards was seriously injured. From some cause which cannot at present be clearly ascertained the engine was thrown off the rails when passing over the embank ment near Wendon, about 12 miles below Cambridge. It is thought that one of the wedges having started from its posi. fiat: was the cause of the accident. The engine and tender were thrown over upon the up-line of rails, and the trucks, with the passengers' luggage, and some of the carriages were very much broken. Most providentially none of the. passen gers were injured. The fireman was thrown under the engine and killed upon the spot. One of the guards had his leg broken, and the engine -driver, or superintendent of the engine department, was much shaken by the concussion. The officers of the company were sedulously engaged in as certaining the•cause of the accident, which at present appears involved in considerable uncertainty. THE WEST INDIA. MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, AUGUST 4.—The Dee arrived at five o'clock this afternoon, after a fine passage, with the mails from the West Indies. Her dates are —From Honduras and Tam pico, the 24th of June; Carthagena, the 213th; Trinidad, the 4th of July ; Demerara and St, Jago de Cuba, the 6th ; La Gaayra and Barbadoes, the 7th ; Jamaica, the 9th ; the Ha vannah, the 10th ; and Vera Criss, the 12th of July. The Dee also brings 197 serous of cochineal, 242 dozen of pines, 471 b. of platina, and 1,157 ounces of gold dust. The sugar crop throughout the West Indies has been most abundant, but there is a great falling off in the eoffee crop. The Hill Coolies work well in all weathers, and continue to give great satisfaction. Her Majesty's ships Imaum, Pickle, and Hermes were at Port Royal, the latter with the Bishop of Jamaica on board, in quarantine. The ex-President Herrera had proceeded to Santa Martha, after another attempt to land at Hayti. Santa Anna was at the Havannah, waiting a favourable opportunity for returning to Mexico. General Woll, who commanded in Texas for Santa Anna, as well as Colonel Garcia, his late private secretary, are pas sengers by the Dee. Letters from Mexico to the 29th of June state, that since the abortive attempt at revolution on the 7th of June, the city of Mexico had remained perfectly quiet; but a federalist pro nunciamento had been made at Tobasco. The Congress was to assemble in extraordinary session on the Ist of July. The Senate had discusssed the tariff, and made some alterations which compel its being sent back to the Deputies. Nothing definitive could take place for at least three weeks. The intention to reduce the duties of 1842 was still entertained. 'The dispute between the Government and the French Mi nister remained unsettled, though a promise had been made of reparation. Advices from Texas received in Mexico already represented that annexation was inevitable. It was generally believed that General Herrera would be elected President. The following French ships of war were at Sacrificios :—the Mercury, 20 guns; the Griffon, 20; and La Perouse,2B. PROROGATION of PARLIAMENT. (From the London Gazette of last evening.)

The doors will be opened at twelve o'clock. tit'ILLOUGHBY DE ERESBY, G.C. PARLIAMEN TAR Y DI V IS) ONS. ( From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Commons.) MONDAY, AUG. 4. SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY (MR. WRAY). Motion made, awl question proposed, " That it appears from the Report and Evidence laid before this House by the Select Committee on the South-Eastern Railway Company's Petition, that Mr. Wray, the Receiver of the Metropolitan Police District, was, in the year 1836, the retained and paid agent. of a private Company, to promote the success.of a Bill introduced into Parliament on their behalf. " That it also appears, from an Answer to an Address of this House, that the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment has, in consequence of the Report and Evidence re ferred to, addressed a letter to Mr. Wray, expressing his strong disapprobation of Mr. Wray's conduct. " That it appears to this House, upon a reference to the Evidence, that Mr. Wray, on behalf of the South-Eastern Railway Company, paid the sum of 3001., derived from the sale of Railway Shares, to Mr. Bonham, for his services as a Member of this House, and as a Member of a Select Com mittee, to which the Bill of this Company was referred; a circumstance to which the Secretary of State has not adverted in the letter addressed to Mr. Wray. " That, in the opinion of this House, such conduct deserves not only the serious animadversion of the House, but disqua lifies Mr. Wray from holding an office of trust and responsi bility under the Crown :"—Whereupon Previous Question put, " That that Question be now put."

LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—Pao- POSED EXTENSION TO LONDON-BRlDGE.—During Mqnday 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. RAILWAY 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. Monday 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 Hood, Chalk-road, Islington.

ACCIDENT TO ONE OF THE LIFE GUARDS AFTER TilE Reviaw.—Monday afternoon between three and four o'clock, an accident of rather a serious nature occurred to a private belonging to Captain Hall's troop of the Second Life Guards, whilst on the march to Windsor' after the grand review in Hyde-park. The troops had _reached Turnham green, when the horse on which the man was riding and. denly tumbled and fell, the man also falling with his right leg beneath the animal. The occurrence caused much contusion among the troops, and two of the soldiers instantly dis mounted to their comrade's assistance. On lifting him up he complained that his leg was broken, and by order of the com manding officer he was carried into the Travellers' Rest public-house, near the new church, where, on being examined by the surgeons of the regiment, the bone of his right leg was found to be badly fractured. He was conveyed to the hospital belonging to the regiment at Spital, near Windsor. RAILWAY STATION AT CARLlSLlL—Depiltations from the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway Company, the Cale donian Company, the Newcastle and Carlisle Company, and the Maryport and Carlisle Company, have been holding a series of meetings at Carlisle, Mr. Hassell, of Dalmaine, in the chair, to consider the most eligible site for a great railway station in that city. It has been agreed that it is desirable, not only' ,sr all the railway companies, but also for the public, that th shall be a joint station for the four railways, and that Cour"! square was the best site f9r it. With reference to its construc tion, ex sense, and other details, reference will be made to the Board of Trade, the representatives of the respeoiee compaaies having agreed to abide by its decision.

POPLAR AND BLACKWALL -REGATTA. This regatta took place on Monday, in order to commemorate the day on which the first meeting was held at Blackwell to establish the Watermeti's and Lightermen's Almshouses at Penge Common. The race was in five heats, with six scullers, for a very handsome and serviceable skiff; and other "prizes (the boat, of course, being for the first man), liberally sub scribed by the residents of All Saints, Poplar, and Blackwell. First heat—J. Gudge (yellow), 1 ; J. Tyler (light blue), 2; and C. Presman (red), 3. It was a very good heat. The men went away well together at the'same mdment, and then Tyler drew away with the lead, but before they had proceeded half a mile the winner challenged and passed him, and won by two lengths. Second Heat—J. Corey (dark blue), 1; J. Wheldon (pink), 2; G. Linch (green), 3. Corey took the lead, held it, and won easily. Third Heat—Tyler, 1; Wheldon, 2 ; Pressman, 3; and Linch, 4. , A well-contested heat, in which they were nearly all together Fourth Heat—Corey, 1 ; Tyler, 2 ; Gudge, 3 ; and Whel don, 4. All four scull and scull for some distance, and then Corey took the lead, and kept it, winning easily. It was a capital race for second place. Grand Heat—Corey, 1; Tyler, '2. The distance in this, as it; the preceding heats, was from Blackwall-stairs, and go twice round in each heat, the race ex tending from the Folly House to the East India DoCk buoy op posite the Brunswick Wharf. The winner drove away with the lead, and kept it, winning easily. FOOT RACING AT WALWORTH. 70n Monday some interesting foot races came off at the Bee hive grounds at Walworth, and from the great celebrity of the contending parties, the affair attracted upwards of 3,000 per sons. The first prize was for a silver tankard, which was walked for over a ten miles distance, and the following well known pedestrians contended :—East of Westminster, Haynes of Hammersmith, Oliver of Pimlico, Powell of Hampton, Har rison of Hounslow, Penfold of Tooting, and Blackwell, the Un known Bee, and Howe of London. At the signal they went off at a smart pace. When six miles had been covered, several of the men had relinquished the contest, and finally the prize was won by East, who accomplished the ten miles in one ,hour and thirty-five minutes, fair toe and heel walking, and Powell came in second. The next contest was for a handsome silver cup, to be run for over a quarter of a mile of ground, and to leap ten hurdles. The billowing men formed the field at starting :—Smith, the London champion, Jenkinson, the Lon don Stag, Warwick of Epsom, E. Smith and Patterson of Lon don, and Handley of Nottingham. The competitors bounded off at locomotive speed, and cleared the hurdles with great ce lerity, and after a very admirably contested race Smith came in the winner, and won the cup; Jenkinson was second, and Warwick third. Subsequently the day's sport was brought to a conclusion by the race for a silver snuff-box, 'over 440 yards of ground and fifteen hurdles placed equi-distant. Cheeny, Makpioce, Bung, Read, and Williams (country professionals), and E. Smith and Fibbins, of London, were the candidates. At the start Stahl) went away with the lead, closely followed by his adversaries, when, after a spirited race, Smith came in the winner. WRECK of the JOHN HENDRICK, DUTCH EA zeT INDIAMAN. We are happy to state that the eleven men, left by Captain R. W. Heckelbury, of the Dutch East Indiaman, the John Hendrick, on the 30th May last, upon a rock near the Line, as was reported in The Sun, were rescued from their frightful situation, after having been on the rock 15 days, by Captain Snell, of the merchant ship Eliza, of Liverpoel, and have ar rived in London. It will be recollected that, upon the cap tain, with seven of the crew, being taken off, the vessel, on board of which they were received, was for several days pre vented, by a violent storm and adverse winds, from making head towards the rock, and was carried some hundred of miles away from it, when, it being supposed by the captain that the poor fellows would have been starved to death, as there appeared, to be no means of obtaining food, they were left to their fate. Fortunately, however, after enduring the most dreadful suffer ings and privations, the Eliza hove in sight, and prevented that calamity which was looked for by the captain of the John Hendrick. The following account has been given by P. L. Zeeman, the second mate of the John Hendrick, one who was left on the rock, of the dreadful visitation of his companions, one of whom was the surgeon of the vessel. It was expected that after the captain had left, every effort would be made to return and take them off ; but, when it was found that the wind was so long in a direction that would carry the vessel away from them, they took steps, under thy direction of the surgeon, to provide for extremities. The rock was discovered to be about half a mile in circumference, and upon making a survey of it there was found to be a plentiful supply of fowl, but no fresh water was anywhere to be met with. The only meat they had was a little pork : with this they made bait, and attached to nails, which were made in the form of hooks, and them caught fish, which abounded there. They killed the fowls, a sort of duck, during the night, and in the day time gathered their eggs. There was a description of crabs upon the rock, the legs of which were serviceable in quenching their thirst. For some days they were able to cook their food by burning pieces of the wreck of the vessel till that was exhausted, and by pounding the charcoal and mixing this with the sea water they thought they should be able to deprive it of its saline properties ; but in this they were unsuccess ful. During the day, between eleven and three o'clock, on account of the extreme heat, they waded into the sea. In this situation they continued for eight days, when nearly the whole of them were seized with a swelling of the lips and tongue and a vertigo, that for two days rendered them almost insensible. This excise from the want of water. The surgeon for some days previous had been in that situation. On the tenth day they were visited with occasional showers of rain, to collect which the sail they had was expanded, a hole made in the centre, and a cask placed underneath in which the rain water was collected. This, which was very sparingly distri buted, assisted to restore the strength of all. In this state they remained till the 15th of June. when the Eliz.t, Captain Snell, belonging to Liverpool, and trading to Sydney, hove in s i g ht. A flag was waved which was happily observed by some of the Eliza's crew. upon which two boats were lowered and the whale were taken off. They were most kindly treated by the captain ; but for ten days they endured the greatest bodily sufferings, several of them not being expected to recover. Shortly after being on board, as the captain expected to be short, of water, upon the Lenters, Captain Gelmon, from Bombay to Liverpool, appearing in sight five of the men were put on board that vessel. The Lenters reached Liver pool last Friday, when the men brought by her proceeded to the residence of the Dutch Consul, who, upun being made acquainted by them that they belonged to the John Hendrick, and were the men abandoned upon the rock, g ave them immediate assistance. He provided each man with a jacket, a pair of shoes, and a'pair of stockings. He also paid their passage up to Loudon, and gave them a letter of intro duction to the Dutch Consul in London. The men are now lodging at the Yorkshire Grey Tavern, in Lower Thames street, and appear not to be in the least degree affected by their dreadful sufferings. The rock on which the men were is supposed to be a volcanic eruption. The mate described the composition of the material of it to be iron, stone, and glass. There are three spires or pillars arising cut of it, on the top of one of which (this being a flat surface, a few feet diameter) a flag was placed during the day, and a man was also stationed to watch for a vessel. It has beenascertained that the surgeom and five men, who were in the Eliza, have been la,.ded at the Brazils, where they were taken under the protection of the Dutch Consul, and treated with the utmost kindness and atten tion. Nothing was heard of the mate, five seamen, and the passenger, who went off previous to Captain Heckelbury's departure, and it is supposed that they were lost in the storm already spoken of. The captain of the Eliza had placed in his care two quadrants, two spy glasses, and the log books of the John Hendrick, which he retained possession of. THE ACCIDENT ON THE EDINBURGH 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 cnscretion in de serting the diet. The prisoners were then discharged from tie bar. FATAL ACCIDENTS ON THE RIVER.—On Monday 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. Tiuching the death of tire former, it appeared that the deceased, on Sun day afternoon last, together with a great many more children, were pla)ing on some barges in Queenhithe Dock, which nn a Sunday is resorted to by crowds of the infantine population, when suddenly a cry was raised that the man was corning, 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 tinder the barge's bottom. A lighterman, named plunged after the deceased, lut his body was not found for tweney minutes, when life was found to be extinct. Respecting the death of Emily Rushton, it appeared that the rit,eeased, along with s.ime other girls, tvere 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. arid was also sucked under the barge's boi torn before any one could ren der her any aid. Her body was found in a quarter of an hour, and conveyed to the Glazier? Arms, Water-lane, where the usual means were applied to restore her, but without eff'ct. 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. Innumerable are tlw suanises afloat concerning the nature of Mrs. Gore's new novel. At first " The Royal Favourite " was reported to be one of the Courtiers of Queen Elizabeth ; and subsequent Tumours have pointed out the Court of Catherine of Russia as the scene of the novel. Both these reports we are able to contradict. It is, however, now ad mitted that the Royal Favourite is a Courtier of the pre sent day. MO 1,',TT:17 C I .11 •!-A (En,a, The Sufi of Last NiJa.) 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 Biding, and Leeds and Thick. The following are some intersting extracts from the letter of Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewe.sbury, 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 fret 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-Rassia, 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 9S degrees Farhenheit, that the oldest peasants said they bad 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 front our last report." The letters and papers by the Dee steamer reach to the 9th July front 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 pectel 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 before we emancipated our colonial labourers.

HOUSE OF LORDS, 5. Their Lordships assembled at the usual hour. THE PRESENT HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from an architect of the name of Bernard, who stated that he could render that . Hou.e—in which it appeared they were doomed to continue for some time to come—wholesome and co:nrnudious. He ( Lord Campbell) wa; not very coast' emit in this an ticipation, as he believed Dr. Reel had been as succeSs'ul as any man in his line, but although he had been successful in. improving the House of Commons he had utterly failed to improve that House. Ho stated that he could effect what he stated without expense or inconvenience, and prayed that it might be referred to a Committee bef.,re which he might disclose his plan. At that — late period of the session. however, be would not move for a Committee, but would simply call the attention of the Goveinment to it, He would hand it to the Noble Lord opposite ( Lord Stanley), who would no doubt give it all the attention it deserved. BUSINESS OF THE H:)USE. Lord NIONTEAGLE moved for a return of the number of private Bills before the House, the number of Peers who had sat in Committee upon them, and the number of days %%biota eatili bad sat. He was perfectly persuaded, that if the same amount of private business occurred in the next session, their, Lordships would find it necessary to adopt some other p lan than that hitherto adopted, and by which the business of the House might be more proportioned. Then with respect to the. deposits, he apprehended that they ought to be increased. from Si. to 101. per cent., in accordance with the resolution to which the other House had come. The Duke of WELLINGTON was understood to say that he hoped the Noble Lord would bring forward the subject 00 Thursday. Lord REDESDALE said there was not one Bill which had not had its Committee, and which had not been decided upon' with the exception of the London and York, which had only come up yesterday. Lord MON TEAGLE only meant to say that there was not a fair distribution of labour amongst the Members of that House with respect to the business which came before it. Lord BESBOROUGH said he should tnoveon Thursday nex t that, next session, a letter should be written to every of the House, requesting to know when he will be able to tend on the Committees of that House. The Merchant Seamen's Bill was lead a third time. and passed. Member BOROUGH RATES BILL. This Bill passed through Committee, and was ordered to be read a third time on Thursday.

This Bill went through Committee, and was ordered to b e read a third time on Thursday. LONDON AND YttliK RAILWAY BILL. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE then rose to present Of° petitions, ot which he had given notice, against the Loy d ° and York Railway Bill, and to move that one of them be re teried to a Select Committee. Attar toe course their Lord' ships le,: pursued in the case of the Dublin an d G a l w ay Rat way, they eoul,l not refuse to refer the prescot case to a Cool' mat!. Teo , first pete oti was from a Mr. George Pre' 1 lamed prop, heti,- residing near to Huntingdon, whose 10; eerty would be interfered with by the progress of the propose railway, who alleged, and he believed correctly s° l that the original capital of the C om p an y was estimate by Mr. Ctsbttt at five millions, but had since been increase d 7 six millions and a half. This was a matt er , h o w ev er, whic was within the jurisdiction of the Standing Orders C om mittee:. and he did, therefore, propose to refer thi s p e titi on to a Seler, Committee. The second petition he h a d t o p resen t to the'', Lordships was from the same gentleman, who alleged that tbe contract deed was entirely fictitious, in as far as it contained the names of parties who represented upwards of half a milln some of whom were fictitious, and oth ers we r e i n capable ° paying such a sum. In the petition which was presented Yes' terday a mistake was no doubt made with respect to 13azt er ' but there were other cases of far greater consequen c e than that, and infinitely greater than any that h r l e occurred in the Dublin and Gal wa y R a ilway. P j would not trouble the House by going ever all the names' Ile would merely refer to one or two of them, and he vi s sure that he should make out a sufficient case for further in quiry. Their Lordships might remember, that by the!, standing orders the residence, as well as the name of the t uu i , scribers, should be given in the contr ac t d ee d, a nd the grourA on which many of the names on the Dubli n a nd Galway ( 1 4; were objected to, were a non-complia nce w ith that order. ' re hoped they would carry it out also in the present case. Th e o was one perso-i, named John Theohald, Esq., who was do r _ to the amount of 25,0(101. Now, he was informed that tit:ere:l was no such person in existence. A person who had fig the in the Galway case, William Shackwell, held scrip d e lis . amount of 5,0001. According t o th e reports b e f or e l;h e ment, this person now held scrip in different railways to es amount of 41,500/. Another person, named Edward Durham, of 90, Watling-street, was down for 12,7 0 Henry Daw for 2,0091., a messenger i n t h e E as t India , ll° did 1,000/., and a p erson o f t h e name o f B an k s 12,5 001., " f ° o , o d not ',side ;it tl,O residence alixeti to his name. He was 00 It „ out to be a clerk i n the Australian Trast Company: n f ltfe quite impossible, however, that a person in this station T„ t he could he responsible for such a large amount. A c urate,R lit county of Kent was a su b scr ib er to t h e amount o f 2 5 ' al oon t various railways, and in thi s one h e h e ld s h ares to the wbo 58 of 10,0001. There were diffe ren t o th er par ti es tr il b s eriber s names he would not trouble the House, who were. ° i i e tenee to the amount of 2,0001. and upwards, and whohad , A rl°e ith those whatever. These names he had himself compare- w ite eorree'; on the contract deed, and he had found them clU"; ~ r 21004 Another person was a subscriber to the amount. 0 ` evil° There were two individuals of the name of Gurney. _ were stock-broker, o c k _t b h r e o k so e n r s o a t nd a charwoman . hel held shares to tOnehe amount o t hurt ofw chant,hrothe r and C h Nod about 0 every one knew that the income of these persons was k Charles guinea and a half, or, at most, two guineas a-wee . Gurney said he never a pplied for any shares; so that was the per' a w a s s ub lm s ' e r r t i e b r er t t o o s t l h r e . eilxittecehtcooefk,2s',ooow wine - who procured the scrip in his name traded on tt for their own benefit, without any responsibility, and never gave him a single farthing of the gains. He vrou'" a:2,10%171c too; say no more. He thought he had stated quite enough to hide' their Lordships to investigate these charges. Now let it be 14 :, collected that these cases were all discovered within the 1 7, 1 week, and were the consequence of the decision which b e ( been tome to on the Dublin and Galway case. The eler ,,, ai. the county ton, had shares to the amount of 5.0 M. One i° of vidual gave 22, Norfolk -street, as his address, but it aelt e te ee that Francis Ommanney and Sons lived there, and of ° D oe there was no such person in existence. Taking the whol e $lO in all its details, a grosser piece of fraud and irnpositi.l e st never heard of. The Galway case was nothing to it. n e tb od decidedly of ,pinion that the Bill should not proceed till 0 0 allegations were investigated, and' he would therefore 113. thai the petition be referred to a Select Committee. P ti ' Lord :MON TEAGLE begged to present' a et a tion referring to the same subject. He did not n i . . t it to vouch for the accuracy of th e s ta t em e n t s it con t a ined, blot came from a ic,pectable man; who was agent for the,. or e. under con,ideiation. He wa s ind uce d t o p et iti on their Lo ships in consequence of the statements w hi c h h a d been ', e s. on a folner occasion in that hou s e, w ith respect t o the ~0 0 pect.bility of the parties w hose names were on the subforrP i tl to Bred of the Company. The Nobl e L or d th en peoceede" re . read the petition, which stat e d th a t th e part i es wit° reP. R . B sented a subscription of 20!,,001., and whose names 0 7; 4 , a:leged to be fictitious and false,_ were bowl fide shareho lde ; , and it was utterly u ntrue th at they were fictitious person il .o tions. They wer e a ll res p ec t a bl e men , an d f rom t h e ir proP er io ; and standing, fully equal to the responsibility which tb e l t he curred. The petitioners stated that they would abide by decision of the House. e The Earl of WICKLOW said though as strong a oa' the Dublin and Galway had not been made out, yet he thotto that a strung enough case had been made out for them to g t r b i t the Committee of Inquiry ; he apprehended, however , ve tt they had a competent body in the Standing Orders Cointolehe whose duty it was to investigate cases of the kind before, yif House. On this ground he should oppose the motion or the Noble Friend, yet at the same time he was willing that ife j allegations contained in the petition should be fully inqu into. n derf The Earl of SHREWSBURY said the Standing r ll Committee could only inquire whether the contract t",sj had been properly signed, and that the standing orders been complied ; but they could not inquire at all into its stance. to ea The Earl of .DEVON said the contract deed ought ) he a safe instead of an unsafe guide to the public.--( Hear, - he The Bill had undergone a full inquiry in a Committee 0' the of Commons. The report only was brought LIP r ea terday—by their Bill it appeared that they were erniow — ,, t to l:e , rrove a sum of money, which supposing the frauds forth to be true, would enable them to carry out their O r ., He was opposed to the course which they took with ref eree to the Lor d D U uidin and Galway. : e' BEAMONT agreed with his Noble Friend lei" ta spect to the Dublin and Galway. They had, however, etsrie, Wished a precedent which he believed they could not w el l 0 part from in the present case. If, however, they contiintil dtlopted similar steps to that taken with regard to this 0 they wou44 put a stop to railways altogether. tbel Lord REDESDALE thought, in common justice, ip ought to agree to this Committee. They ought to do g e ar every case where errors such as those alleged had bee n c mitted. Ile Lord CAMPBELL said, that during the present raorniater had had his opinion canvassed on both sides, but he had d e 0 , mined to keep his mind clear of both sides, and having dn ne be he was inclined to think this application could not possibll refused. The Earl of WICKLOW having heard the explanatio.iltteer the Noble Chairman of Committees, he thought the Co nan ought to be appointed. gDla Alter a few words from the Marquis of CLANRICA .ttee' the petition was ordered to be referred to a Select Cool° ame The Marquis of CLAN RICARDE was not prepar ed to the Committee at present. IA to b e Lord MONTEAGLE thought the Committee coug- - „ugh appointed at once. Whether they were able to get tm..„.0 the case in the present session, depended on circuing"" ehich they could not controul. BRIGHTON AND CHICHESTER RAILWAIriord.
