CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY. The half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders of the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company took place yesterday at the Euston Station. The meeting was held for the purpose of receiving the report of the directors, for the election of directors in the room of those who retire by rotation, to agree to the for feiture of certain shares, and upon the other business of the company. C. R. Moorsom, Esq., the chairman of the company, took the chair at twelve o'clock. Among the directors present we noticed Sir C. Douglas, Captain Mangles, and Jr. Peto. The CHADIAIII..7, in moving the adoption of the re port, confessed that he felt disappointed at the through traffic since the opening of the Britannia Bridge. He was glad, however, to say that they had two thirds of the traffic from Liverpool to Dublin.— (Hear.) He could only account for the lesser traffic to Ireland by the state in which that country was placed at, the present moment, but he was in hopes of seeing a brighter day.—(Hear, hear.) They could not look upon this line as a completed line, and he believed when it was finished it would be a most prosperous concern.—(Hear, hear.) Ihe local traffic had been very fairly developed, and he had no doubt that ere long it would be considerably improved. The company had adopted the system of low fares, but it was said by many that they had not gone far enough. He was one who did not like to adopt low fares too hastily, but if it was shown that lower fares would bring more passenger traffic to the line, no one would be more reedy than himself to assent to it. He be lieved that when the company were in a situation properly to carry out their line the slate and cool traffic would be most profitable to them.—(Hear.) The excursion trains had been most productive to the company, and he believed that they would be more so when the line was properly worked out. He believed that the expenses of the locomotive department might be considerably reduced, and that their agreement with the London and North Western Company might be revised and improved.—(Hear, hear.) A con siderable reduction, he was happy to env, had been made on the working of the steam-boats.—(Hear.) He trusted that in the election of the six gentlemen that were to be appointed as directors they would have regard to men of practical knowledge and ex perience, and that they would elect men who would honestly and satisfactorily carry out their interest. The Hon. Chairman concluded by moving the adoption- of the following report : It will be in the recollection of the shareholders that at the last half-yearly meeting yoar directors oboticed their approval of a Bill authorising this company to lease their line to the London and North-Western Rail way Company, or to make other arrangement; with that company for its working. They hoped that long before this time they should have been placed in a pesition to convene a special meeting, to which, after receiving the formal sanction of the measure req'sired by the House of Lords, it wonld hove been their duty to submit !the plans by which the scheme then contemplated might, in the judgment of the directors, be most beneficially carried into execution. They regret that they must now an nounce to you that these expectations have been entirely frustrated. " Parties having interests at variance with those of the London and North-Western Company, and seeking to encroach upon its traffic, took occasion, ftora the pro motion of the Bill is question by this company, to urge upon the Committee of the House of Commons the intro daction of a clause giving to those parties powers and pri vileges quite incompatible with any practicable arrange meat between this company and the London and North- Western for the completion or working of the line; and, in spite of the earnest retuonetracces at your directors, they succeeded in effecting that object. The Reuse, hew - ever, threw cut the clause, and when the saute parties made an attempt to reiastate it, it was again rejected. But the same short-sighted hostility pursued the Bill bef ire the Committee of the House of Lords, although it was certain that with such a clause the Bill would be valueless for any public or private object, because the London and North-Western Company would refuse an alliance coupled with the conditions imposed; and the issue proving unfavourable, the measure has been ne cessarily abandoned, to the serious detriment of yoar interests, and without a particle of benefit to the parties whose opposition to the London and North-Western Company led them to strike at that body through this corn pany. ." The retuit is a matter of deep regret to your direc tors. Their best hopes of improving your position were founded on the possibility of combining your interests with those of the Lyndon and Nortn-Western Company, and of rendering it safe and profitable fur that power ful body to aid in extricating you from your embarrass ments. But your directors could not, of course, expect that that company would undertake so arduous a task, under the additional pressure of an Act of Parliament, which proposed to deprive them, in favour of a third party altogether witheut rightful claim, of a large share of the legitimate advantage of the projected en terprise. " Nor is this the only disappointment which your di rectors have experienced. Ia March last you were ap prised that they were in communication with her Ma jesty's' Governmenp, having for their object such assist ance as would enable the company to complete the un dertaking at the earliest period;' and they continued their endeavours to this; end uutil a very recent date. They urged upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with all the force which they felt to be warranted by the justice of the case, their claim to temporary aid from the public press, on the ground-Ist, that the contract for the mails having been granted to the company, be fore it broke ground in its works, for the avowed reason that the traffic was insufficient in itself to utford recom pense for so great an undertaking, the loss in that re-, spect resulting from the visitation which had desolated Ireland ought not to be thrown exclusively on the com pany, without any contribution from the Government, so greatly benefitted by the opening of such an import line of communication; and, edly, that the peremptory requisition of the Admiralty, backed by a Parliamentary Committee, in regard to the mode of crossing the Menai Straits, having imposed on the company an additional and unlooked-for expense of nearly half a million ster ling, it was equitable that the Government, thus re lieved from all share of the cost necessary to reconcile two public objects (to wit, the free navigation of the straits, and the continuous lite of railway fc9m London to St. George's Channel), should afford some assistance, by way of :loan, to enable the company to complete its works, in order to its reimbursement. "Your directors are sorry to state that, whilst they have been personally treated with every consideration and courtesy, the Government has refused to entertain these reasonable and moderate claims for a contribution in the shape of mere temporary aid, although it was shown in the clearest manner that no risk could be in volved in the transaction. The only concession rattle to the company—at the same time that its success in over coming not merely the vast natural difficulties of the un dertaking, but the impediment thrown in its way by a public department, was used by the Prime Minister as a cogent argument for the abolition of the Lord-Lieute- nant of Ireland—has been the abandonment by the Go vernment of its claim for a contribution of 200,0001. to wards the new harbour at Holyhead. The directors feel, however, that such a demand for a contribution to a public refuge harbour i 3 one which never ought to have been made. In the same spirit cf inditi,renca to the di:lit:tittles of a company eng Iged in carrying out an en terprise of pre-eminent public importance, the contract for the performance of the mail service between Holy head and KirgAtown was given to parties who have a direct interest in diverting the traffic to the route by way of Liverpool. And this was done notwith standing that a Select Committee of the House of Com mons, of which the lamented Sir Robert 1.).5el was chair man, after considering the question whether this com pany should be permitted to own steam-boats, had ex pressed a deliberate opinion with respect to the advan tage of placing the management and control of the whole line between London and Dublin in the hands of a single party. " Under the heavy discouragements briefly described in the foregoing paragraphs, and labouring constantly under the pressure of the pecuniary difficulties with which the company has had to struggle, your directors have exerted themselves to the beat of their ability to accomplish, at the earliest possible date, such a comple tion of the line as may fit it for general purposes of use fulness. In furtherance of this end, the last tube of the Britannia Bridge has been raised to its intended place; and your directors hope that that wonderful structure will be finally completed during the month of October nest. "In their last report, your directors stated their in tention to open a separate revenue account from the Ist of January last. That course has been taken, and the net proceeds have been applied towards the payment of the half-year's interest on debentures due on the 10th of July last, which, amounting to 24,549/. 10s. 5d., haves a balance of 8,5211. 16s. 71 chargeable against the earnings of the current halt. year. " The proprietors will observe that the gross traffic of the six months under review has yielded a return of 38,6521. 3s. 3d. contrasted with 31,9831 ss. id (irre spective of the mails in both cases), earned during the same period of 1849; and your directors are using all the means at their command so to increase their power of meetieg the demand for accommodation for minerals as to afford all tl•.0 desired encouragement to that im portant branch of business. As an instance in point, they are now engaged in arranging for the construction by private parties of several sidings and short branches, for the purpose of bringing upon the line the produce of adjacent quarries and the like, with the stipulation that the expense of the work shall be repaid to the construc tors from the proceeds of the toll. A resolution will be submitted for your approvai, giving your sanction to ar rangements of this description, which cannot bat con duce to the advantage of this company. " The attention of your directors has been earnestly given to the cost of working the line and its adjuncts, with a view to every practicable and prudent reduction of expenditure, in respect especially to the packet service; and they have now so organized the system of managing the steam-boats that they have good reason to expect that, taking into account the earnings of those vessels, and of the express trains to which they are exclusively attached, and which would be useless without them, :the proceeds will more than counterbalance the expenditure. It may be added that, finding the payments on'account of insurance to be ex- tremely heavy, amounting in the aegregate to 6, 497, from the Ist August, 1q,48, your directors are of opinion F', 'c-r, a ;hat it will be ex p;rsiient that the company should pecome Mt/insurer of it.; own steam-_0 Ita, setting aside a certain awn annually to cover th&,risk of loss, eni they requsst ' your,slnction accordingly. Z k 'he arrears of calla due at the last half-yearly meet ing amounted to 40,6664 10s., since which 2,816 h 10s. n-`"~~~. S has been received. Your directors have declared the f )rfeiture of 65 shares, which requires the confirm2tion of the present meeting.' The report of the engineer, Mr. Robert Stephenson, say s "It affords me very great satisfaction to report to you ' that the whole of the tubes of the Britannia Bridge are now safely deposited in their final positions. Nothing now remains to be done hut to complete the junctions between these composing the second line. "A fortnight will finish the junctions in the Britannia Tower; three weeks more will complete the junction with the Carnarvon small tube; and by the end of Octo ber I have no doubt all the remaining preparations for the opening of the second line will be brought to a satis factory conclusion. " As this will probably ho the last report I shall have the honour of addressing to you in reference to the works of the Holyhead Railway, I deem it only proper, after several years of intense anxiety respecting the Conway and Britannia Bridges, to return you my sin cere thanks for the unwavering confidence you hate al ways displayed in the views I have been called upon to express in reference to the structures; without this con fidence the task would have proved much more difficult than it has proved; but I assure you the value of this confidence is much enhanced in my estimation by the fact that you gave it when the balance of opinion was de cidedly against me." The motion having been seconded, Mr. Heameet deprecated the mode in which the accounts had been kept; and designated them as fal lecious, though he would not say they were cooked or false, but he contended that they ought to have a revenue of 18,0001. for the purposes of a dividend, instead of 7,6411. He submitted that the revenue ac count was an incorrect one, the capital fallacious, and that the directors had applied money to purposes that were not legal. The time had come when there must be a full investigation into the affairs of the company. —(hear, hear.) The directors had held the reins of power fur sit years, and they had never given the opportunity to the shareholders of electing their own directors.—(Hear, hear.) He thought the directors had exhibited a most extravagant example in making two lines of tubes over the Menai Straits, when one would have answered every purpose and have been constructed at two-thirds of the expense. He depre cated the whole course adopted by the directors, and would move, as an amendment to the adoption of the report, the following resolution : ". That a committee of five shareholders be ap pointed to inquire into all matters and things touching and concerning the accounts, contracts, and expenditure, in and from the formation of the company, and especially to inquire and report upon the state of our relations with the Mold Railway Company, and the legality of the proceedi❑gs of the directors in relation thereto; and e.isu to inquire and report upon the expenditure of the money raised from the shareholders under 10 and 11 Vic., chap. 238; and also to inquire and report upon the legality of the issue of debentures to th•- amount made, with power to examine the chairman of directors, the directors and auditors, the engineers, accountant, and other officers of the company. and to cell for and examine all books, paper, vouchers, and other documents. and that the cost of such investigation be defrayed out cf the funds of the company, and thet a special meeting be held on the 2Sth of September next to receive and consider the report of the committee, and that the consideration of the report of the directors to this present meeting, and all other busiress be deterred until such special meeting." Mr. BALL seconded the amendment. Mr. COLEMAN, the accountant of the company, explained the accounts most satisfActorily to the:meet ing, and completely met the objections of the mover of the amendment. Mr TRIMMING deprecated inquiry, as calculated to depreciate the pnperty of the omnpany. After some considerable and irregular discussion, The CHAIRMAN then put the!amendment, and upon a show cf hands declared it to be lost, 9 hands being hell up for it and 24 against it. A resolution was passed declaring 65 shares for feited, after an attempt to obtain the names of the parties holding those shares being defeated. The following resolution was also carried : That the directors be, and are hereby, authorised to co: :tract with any parties willing to construct any siding or branch from any part of the railway, and to allow them the benefit of traffic brought to or trom such siding over the railway." The directors that went out by rotation were re elected after a short discussion, as were the auditors, after an attempt to propose Mr. Heitman as one of the auditors, which failed. The usuai resolution for the remuneration to the directors was carried, and after a vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting separated. BANK OF ENGLAND. (From last night's Gazette.)

Grocers'-hall, Aug. 30. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Aug, 30. (Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.) LN RE TIEBETT. In this case Matthew Toon Tibbett had presented a petition about a fortnight ago, and the evidence occu pied two days. The petitioner complained that the mes senger under his father's bankruptcy had taken posseti sion of his farming stock and Farcett Fen Farm, in Huntiogclonshire, and the Court was asked to order his withdrawal. His HoNouß, in giving judgment, said that the ques tion was whether the property belonged to the assignees of the father, or was it the son's ? The son, when ho became bankrupt, in 1849, delivered up no property to his creditors, but, in a few months afterwards, he exe cuted a deed by , which he agreed to pay his creditors. twenty shillings in the pound. Just before the bank ruptcy he had made a transfer to one Lamb, a relative, and the deed of transfer was evidently a clumsy fraud, for it contained many falsehoods. By the bankruptcy ho had obtained a temporary protection to his property. He acquiesced in an adjournment sine die, and there was an end to the bankruptcy proceedings. The conduct of both the father and son had been such as to dismtitle them to credit. The principal fact in the ease was, that the son had been the solo manager of the farm, but this was open to the quesion whether he was not managing it for his father, who was the real tenant, and to whom the agents of the landlord of the farm addressed all communications respecting it. He had been a non-re sident tenant from the first, having another farm at March, about 14 miles from Fareett. He insured the stock on the farm, and upon a fire occurring he received the insurance. The father said he did so as agent for his son, and that he handed him over the money, bat of this there was no entry in the books, and the statement could not be believed. The father had also been rated in the parish books, though the son paid the rates. A beer house had also been taken on the farm in the name of the father, but afterwards transferred to the son, who then claimed to be rated. A letter had been put in by which the father had re commended the sun ? to pay his own rent in future; and altogether it was oat suspicion s -l oo ki ng d ocument. It was dated the 16th of June, the father having pre viously dishonoured his bil!s, and no doubt wee con cocted for the purpose. Both the father and son were cognisant of the facilities afforded by the law to persons to shift property from one to the other; and the public were indebted to IS:ssrs. Harney and Co., the petition ing creditors, for en , Piring into this investi4aion. The CoCIRT was ef opinion that the proper , : was that of the father, and the rtitiun must he dismissed with costs. The papers put in evidence, which went to pro ve the fraudulent transactions, the deed cf composition made by the eon, and another document, were ordered to be impounded. Petition dismissed accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Howard Augustus Styles, a man of respectable appear ance and good address, was brought before Alderman Gibbs, charged with forgery. Mr. Muliens, cf the firm of Bush and Muliens, soli• citors to the Committse of Bankers for Protection against Forgery and Fraud, nttendei for the prosecution. lladdington and fluggett, or the City detective police, had been iookieg for the prisoner for some time, and ac cidentally pounced upon him on Thursday in one of the most public thoroughfares. Mr. H. Luard, the manager of the London and County Bank, in Lombard -street, said—Last May the prisoner called on me a t t h e b ank i rg -h ouse f or t h e purpose o f opening an account, and produced a bill of exchamee for 3001, purporting to be the acceptanee cf Mr. C. Bailey, of Swanscomlee, in the county of Kent, and dated the 21st of May, 1850. On the first interviec' the bill was left in my heeds, in order that the necessary inquiries might be made as to its respectability. The gentleman who ap peared to be the acceptor kept an account at our Graves end branch bank. The result of the inquiries was highly satisfactory, the prisoner having produced a letter of introduction for opening an account, and no suspicion having been entertained of the genuineness of the signature. An account was accordingly opened on the 25th of May with the prisoner, and the bill was discounted. In the course of the conversations which took place between the prisoner and me he said that Mr. Bailey was a relation of his, and had purchased some land of him, for which he had partly paid by two bills of exchange to the amount of 7001. The bill pro duced became due on the 24th of July, and was not duly advised. I became alarmed about the business, and spoke upon the subject to Mr. Beiley, who said that he had not accepted any bill of the kind described, and it was then distinctly ascertained that it was a forgery. I know where the prisoner lived, and the necessary steps were taken for his apprehension. lam a shareholder in the banking-house of which I am manager. lladdington, the officer, said—l have been looking for the prisoner since July last, but ho had never been at his residence in Camden-town from that time. I met him in the Strand yesterday, and, going up to him, said, " Row do you do, Mr. Styles?" Ile at once said that his name was not Styles, but Wilson; but I detained him as my prisoner for the forgery. 'Ho observed that he was sorry to be taken into custody, as he was just going .to his solicitor on the subject of the bill. It was stated that there was another charge of forgery against the prisoner, who was some time ago tried and convicted upon a charge of forgery. It was also mated that he is very respectably connected. Hu was remended till Thursday next. Themes Crawford, who was some days ago charged with having stolen a number of geld and silver watches, the property of Mr. Bennett, of Cneapeide. watchmaker and jeweller, by wheat he was contidentaily employed, was brought up for final examination. Several pawn brokers at whose house the watches had been pledged, were in attendance, and the justice-room was crowded during the investigation, which occupied a great part of the day. The prisoner, who had been taken into the employ ment of Mr. Bennett more than eighteen months ago upon the highest recommendations, had, it appeared, commenced a system of plunder im mediately after his engagement in the house. He not only pledged Mr. Bennett's property, but the watches which had been let st the !louse by cus tomers for repair, and ho continued to evade suspicion. notwithstanding the extraordinary delays which occurred in the performance of the work, by attending to the bu siness of the house in the most punctual manner. It appeared, too, that ho had been in the habit of applying to publicans and waiters for loans upon the valuable ar ticles which he had approprioted. Mr. Bennett proved that he had a very tradesmanlike recollection of the various watches which were produced, and to the identity of which he bore testimony without hesitation, so that many of the pawnbrokers voluntarily gave up the watches upon which they had lent their money, calculating upon the certainty of the result at the Central Criminal Court. At the request of/some of the pawnbrokers who had been subjected to this serious plunder by the prisoner, Alderman Glans put questions to Mr. Bennett to ascertain whether he might not have been mistaken in asserting that he had not sold certain watches produced as stolen, but the answers were positive, and were further confirmed by the reading of a letter of acknow ledgment and contrition from the prisoner, which dis tinctly pointed out the psrtht in whose possession the watches had been left, and with whom they were found. Mr. Bennett said the prisoner, upon confessing that he had been committing the robberies, begged forgive ness, and declared that he would work out the value of the property ho had taken. Of the confidence placed in the man some opinion might be formed from the state ment of the fact that his employer was in the habit of sending him to the bank constantly with sums of money. Th u prisoner said he was guilty of the charges against him, and all he had to say was, that he threw himself upon the mercy of Mr. Bennett. Committed for Will. GUILDHALL. William Clayton was brought up for final examination upon the charge of stealing a 401. Bank of England note, a 101. notc,and 101. in gold and silver, the property of Mrs. Jane Lawrenoe, of 38, Radnor-street, St. Luke's, seven years ago. The prisoner was fully committed to Newgato to take his trial. SOUTIIIVARK. _ Tlwm sc Bed, a private in the loth Lancers, wearing three medals o n hi s brcait, was brought before Mr. Elliott, from th e t erm i nus of the North Kent Railway, charged with misconduct in ono of the carriages. Inspector Maddox stated, that on the previous night the defendant got into a third-class carriage at Chat ham, and had not been long inside before he caused con siderable alarm in the minds of the other passengers by his extraordinary conduct. He had a sabre with him between five and six feet in length, which he drew from the scabbard, and began to flourish about, exclaiming that he had disarmed a Soikh soldieriof it at the battle of Aliwal, and afterwards run the owner of it through the body. Re amused himself in this manner for some time, until at length, to the no small delight of his fellow passengers, he laid by his sword, and commenced jump nig about; and while the train was at fall speed he shifted from ewe carrial . e to another, at the imminent risk of his life, and to the greet aunoyance of those inside, who were chiefly women, and who it may be supposed were very much alarmed on beholding such a fierce-looking intruder in his regimertals and with his huge mustachios. The guard of the train, when it was stopped at a station, was informed of the defendant's pranks, and he immedi ately proceeded to the carriage in which he was, and ex postulated with him. He observed that the defendant was under the influence of liquor, and he became ex. tremely abusive, and again armed himself with the sabre, threatening to cut down any person who interfered with him. When the defendant got:into the train at Chatham he did not appear io be in the slightest degree affected with liquor, and from that circumstance it was strongly suspected he bad provided himself with what is termed a pocket-pistol of ruin, which ho imbibed freely on the Journey, and which in a great measure accounted for his extraordinary behaviour. Upon the arrival of the train at London-bridge the defendant was given into cus tody. The sabre alluded to was exhibited in court, and was a most formidable weapon. that, by by netting that a man exhibiting such proofs of meritorious service by the medals which decorated his breast should have so far forgotten him yELMOTT said it was a pity h Lie n o: n onefolle)- self as to act in the ridiculous manner described; and intoglst anotherhave sa whip eriflce the d h train Was at full bp( ed ; it was also is evidence that e was in tax:cat ,d. anfl that he aeneyed !!!‘. , rr il i e ag m e The defendant, a sal tier-lilt o man, es pressed his regret at his conduct, and said that he had recently arrived from India, and was discharged the day before at Chat- , ham after 18 years' service, having spent a great portion of that time in India; he was present at five general en gagements in that country, and the sabre mentioned he brought away with him as a trophy from Aliwal, and which he was taking down to his family at Nottingham to present to them. lie hoped the magistrate would, upon this occasion, overlook what had happened, and he would take care that nothing of the kind should occur again. Mr. ELLIOTT said that he could not pass over such conduct without inflicting some punishment on the ug greswr, in order to impress the circumstance on his mind, and that he should fine him 10s. The defendant immediately paid the fine, his trophy, the sabre, was delivered up to him, and he marched out of the curt. WRECK of the ORION STEAMER. HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY. The trial of Thomas Henderson, the captain of the Orion, Mr. George Langlands, the first mate of that vessel, and of Mr. John Williams, the second male, for the shipwreck of the Orion in Jane last, off Portpatrick, commenced in Edinburgh on Thursday last, before the High Court of Justiciary. Oa the table in front of the judges' bench were placed a model of the Orion and charts of the coast of Wigtownshiro. Special defences were lodged for the captain and second mete, but none for the first mate. In these the captain alleged that ho had gone below to take a little rest, leaving the vessel in charge of a competent officer; and tliet alter this the accident arose, from causes which he could not control. The second mate set forth that he had steered the vessel to the best of his judgment, and that the accident had arisen from the deficient state of the ship's compasses or other machinery, and that he, therefore, was not liable. The case for the prosecution was conducted by the Solicitor-General, Messrs. Dees and Bell; Mr. Crawfurd appeared as counsel for Captain Ilendarsun; Mr. Penny for Williams, the second-mete; and Mr. Logan for Langlands, the first-mate. The prisoners pleaded Not Guilty. Captain Robinson, R.N., deposed that ho had been employed for several years in making a hydrographic survey of Scotleed for the Admiralty. He prepared a chart of the coast of Wigtownshire. He had denoted, in a chart, the position of the wreck of the ship. The port paddles ley 475 feet from the most distant side of voter Ward Rock, and 500 feet from Bernoch Rock. There is a current of tide comes from the Barnoch Rock in the direction of the wreck. She was lying 30 feet deep at the bow, and 45 feet at the stern. Cross-examined by Mr. Penny—The course of the tide was close in shore. If the tide is flowing south, it will interfere more or less with a vessel going north. By the COURT—If the Orion had been its own length off Portpatrick, steering north, it was in a wrong course to avoid the Outer Ward Rock. If the parties in charge changed to north half-west, this would not be sufficient to clear this reek. Looking to the breadth of the chan nel, witness did not think that any person in his sound senses, looking to the nature of the coast, and going up the Firth of Forth, would keep his vessel only a length off to secure its safety. Looking to whore the wreck was lying, no course, consistent with safety, would allow the vessel to be so near the coasts David Walker, seaman, Glasgow, was on board the Orion when lost. He was on board of tier for eighteen or nineteen months. Captain Henderson was the master. Did not know who took the helm after clearing the Mersey. Witness came on to stear between ten and twelve. It was a tine night, but a little cloudy. There was a haze hanging over the land towerds tt,e Mull of Galloway. They made the Mull a little before twelve. There was a light there, which he saw through the fog. Left the helm near Duna:tau-head, which is between the Mull of Galloway and Portpatrick. At that time he thought they were unusually near inshore. It was in George Langland'e (the first mate's) wi...tch that he had charge of the helm. Could not see in front of the vessel when steering. When be was steering there were two on the look-out from the paddle-bridge. There was no lookout at the bows. In steering they steered by the compass when hazy. They took their courses from the officer in charge of the watch. The land was visible all the way between Dunman-head and the Mull of Gallo way. The next watch to first mate's was the second mate's. When that watch came on witness went below to sleep. He was awakened by a crash, and ran on deck, when he saw a few passengers running on the foredeck, and the vessel close on shore. He thought the vessel was going ahead. He was not the first on the deck at that time. He ran down below and put on his boots, and then ran aft to clear away the lifeboat. The persons around it did not succeed in lifting it off for some time, owing to the stifl ness of tackle or weight of passengers in the boat. He thought himself it arose from the weight of passengers. It wat got off at last, and lowered into the water, and got to laud in safety. He went up to the rigging, where he was afterwards taken off. The Orion was at Havre for a mouth or so, but was back about a month. The vessel, after witness was awakened from his sleep, re mained afloat for about ten minutes. In case of emer gency the covers must be cut, but no knives were pre pared for the purpose. The carpenter tried to get the groove in while the boat lay far under it. The proper way of loosing a boat is to lift it out cf the groove. Cross-oxamined by Mr. Craufurd—Sew the land plainly when steering. Was standing N.N.W. The hash was over the land. The steering was clear enough. After he saw the larboard lifeboat launched, the vessel sank in about five minutes. Did not see the larboard quarter boat launched. Captain Henderson was on the mast along with witness, and sent witness down to take charge of a fishing boat, to take as many passengers in it as he could. Did so. Captain Henderson was giving ' directions before calling on the boats to come close to the ship and pick up the passengers. Captain Hender son remainsd at the masthead while the passengers were being picked up. Captaiu Henderson was taken off the masthead after witness left. Went on the instructions he got from the captain. The captain was on deck during witness's watch, and looked at the compass mere than once; but could not say how long the ca; twin was on deck. John Kelly, a seaman on board the Orion at the (time of the wreck, said that he took the helm from Walker, the former witness. The night was calm, and observed no fog. The vessel was to the south of Dunman-head when he took the helm at ten minutes past twelve o'clock. The vessel*was close to land at the time; parti cularly so. Never was so close before. The captein came on deck about ton minutes after witness took the helm. and looked at the compass. The captain remained on deck about five minutes after. The captain gave witness no course while he was on deck; but the second mate gave witness a course after the captain went forward. The second mate had changed the course befiete the cap tain came on deck N.W. West. The second mate changed it again before the captain came up, telling him to keep her N. by W., which was still more in shore. He changed it again Ao North half-west, a point nearer shore. All this was before the captain came on deck. The captain examined the compass, but said nothing. The captain said something to the second mate, but witness could not say what. Did not see the captain again before the vessel struck. The wheel was about a third over when the vessel :truck: The vessel went straight over when she struck. Witness did not let go the helm. One of the firemen came and said the engine-room was filling, and be did not hear the motion after the crash. There were two compasses on the Orion—one at the bridge and one aft —when he joined the Orion. There was some variation between the two. A third compass was put on the top of the cabin compauion at Havre, where they were for six weeks. There was a great variation in the compasses after leaving Havre. Cross-examined by Mr. Penny—The Orion generally went at the rate of from twelve to fourteen knots an hour. When opposite Dunman-head, saw the land clearly. There was no fog on the water at that time. Tho second mate sung out, when it was reported that Portpatrick light was seen, " Ay, is it now you see it?" The fog came suddenly down between Dunshoo and Portpatrick. The second mato did not tell witness to starboard a little till they were abreast of tho light at Portpatrick. The fog was beginning to clear away when they were abreast of the lights, and cleared away very suddenly. Robert Wilson and James Stewart, the two men who were stationed to look 'out on the paddle gangway, the former to land, and the other to the sea, when the vessel struck, and during the whole of the second mate's watch, which extended from twelve o'clock till four in the morning, were next examined. Their evidence was chiefly corroboratory of that given by Walker as to the closeness of the land and tho alarm which they ulti mately felt. Wilson, when the vessel was about Dun skey Castle, left the gangway, and asked Williams, the second mate, if he saw the land, and how close it was ? Nothing appeared to have beam done to alter the course of the vessel and take it off the shore. When the vessel was abreast of the pier at Portpatrick, about 150 yards, he again left the gangway, and spoke to the mate. He reported Portpatrick Light 15 to 20 minutes before tho vessel struck. Stewart stated that the ship was about two vessels' length from the pier when they passed it. He sang out to Wilson when he left the gangway the second time to speak to the mate, " Keep the vessel off the land." Both the wit nesses stated that when they came on deck to go upon watch the vessel was about half a mile from shore. The captain came on deck about one o'clock, about three quarters of an hour after they took their watch, and told them to keep a bright look out. The land was visible at that time. They were at the time half-way between Duntnan-head and Portpatrick, and tho land was visible during the whole of the time they were pass ing between those two places. Wilson also said that he thought it was the weight of the passengers in the boat which prevented them getting the boats lowered so easily as might have been done. Duncan Campbell, a seaman on board the Orion, cor roborated the evidence previously given of the vessel being so close to the shore, and said that he shouted out, " Hard a starboard," from a sense of the feeling of danger. Several persons belonging .to Portpatrick were next examined. Their evidence went to show that they had seen the vessel passing close to Portpatrick just before the wreck. Tbey thought she was coming into the har bour, as she was so close to the shore, and as they had never seen any largo vessel so close in before. The expected her to strike on the rocks fr om th e course Aye was steering, and 'ran out of their houses to give the alarm in the event of their fears being realised. On finding she had struck, they put off a boat for the wreck to render assistance. Captain Edward Hawes, R.N., said it was neither safe nor proper to have the life-boat covered, as was the case in the Orion. Is was also more safe to have the plugs y in the holes of the boat, or f astened by a l anyard, and also to have the oar§ in th e b oat. In t nenaval service when a vessel was run n i ng a l eeg the cast it was the duty cif the capesia to b e on the tioe c ' jog ti, ith tho second mate.

During what was called the :econd mate's watcb, the captain ought not to leave the dank. _ _ _ James Morrison, also a first-class pilot on the Clyde, gave evidence to a similar effect. Captain Park, R.N., commander of the steam-ship Dasher. knew the Portpatrick coast well. If he was sailing there at night he would think it right to keep not further in shore than 200 yards. He certainly did not think it right for the captain to leave the vessel in charge of. any other person. The trial, at seven o'clock, was then adjourned until Friday. AQUATICS. ROYAL WESTERN YACHT CLUB REGATTA. PLYMOUTU, Arm. 28.—This annual aquatic fete com menced on Monday, and was resumed on Wednesday :morning, with a prospect of some excellent matches, the Weather being favourable, the breeze sufficiently fresh, and blowing from th 4 most desirable direction, the north west. There are more than fifty yachts, of various rigs and tonnage, in the port, including, besides those be longing to the club, several large schooners belonging to the the R.V.Y.C., the R.C.Y.C., and other clubs. There is an unusually large number of fashionable visi tors in the town. In consequence of the state of the weather being so unfavourable yesterday, the sports wero postponed until this morning. The regatta was fixed to commence on Monday, in honour of the birth-dfty of his Royal Highness Prince Albert. The weather was wet during the whole of Sunday, and up to seven o'clock on Monday, but underwent at that hour a favourable change, and by the time the hour appointed for commencing the regatta had arrived, was as propitious in all respects as could have been desired The inhabitants flocked towards the Hoe by thousands, and every point was occupied from which a view of the regatta could be obtained. The beautiful pack of Mount Edgcumbe was open, 143 usual on Mencius, and great numbers availed themselves of the opportunity of paying it a visit. Tho number. of yachts in the tort was unusually large, and vo3sels gaily decorated with flags were moored off the Hoe. The beautiful prizes to be contended for by the several yachts were placed in the committee booth, and the band of the Royal Marines was stationed near, and played throughout the day. The attendance of visitors was fashionable and numerous; the round and harbour were studded with boats of all sizes, and the whole scene was one of the most exciting and animating, description.

About three o'clock, P.x., there was a rowing' match between the meinbert of the Nautilus Boat-club, for a pie..e of plate of the velar of twelve guineas, prEsentul by the president, Captain Mitltem). The course was from the committee vessel off the Hoe to a boat moored between the island and the ma : a—thence to the Cob bler-billy, returning to the committee vessel ; twice round. The boats selected were the Flora, 34 feet; the Binetta, 30 feet; and the Nautilus, 30 feet. The Nau tilus and Bonetta were even to the first mark boat ; the Bonetta rounded first, and the Nautilus broke two oars and gave up. The Bonotta kept the load' to the last mark boat, but the Flora won eventually by a level). About ten o'clock the Noble Commodore of the Yacht Club, the Right Hon. the Earl of Mount Edgeumbi, sailed round the Sound in his yacht, the Violet, and was saluted from the citadel, and from 11.11.5. Albion, lying in the Sound. The salute was returned by the Fernandez (Major Mountjoy Martin), and by the bat tery at Mount Edgcumbe. The arrangements were exceedingly good, and re flected great credit on the Regatta Committee, consist• hog of the Acting Vice-Commodore (J. W. Peard, Esq.) Captain Peake, R.N., Captain Parkin, R.N., Captain Baideri, R.N., Major Mountjoy Martin, W. H. 0. Dris coll, Esq., and Lieutenant Digby, R.N., Secretary. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. WAKEFIELD, AUG., 30.—There aro good arrivals of most articles. For fresh old wheat there is rather more inquiry, and full prices obtained; there is more new offering, which yet bears a high relative value. Oats and shelling make last week's prices. Grinding barley is held for more money. Beans sell slowly without change in value. Old- WHEAT, per qr. GOlhs per bushel:— s. s.

LIVERPOOL, AUG. 30.—The arrivals from Ireland and coastwise, since Tuesday, have been small. Our supplies from foreign ports consist of 8,539 quarters of wheat, 685 quarters of barley, 1,685 quarters of oats, 1,300 quarters of beans, 273 quarters of peas, 2,244 sacks of flour. From Canada we have received 2,000 batrels of flour. The exports of Indian corn to Ireland amount to only 1,249 quarters. The trade since Tuesday has been quiet, but prices have been well maintained in the few transactions reported. The weather has been broken and looks very unsettled. At this day's market there was the usual attendance of the town and country trade, and a fair amount of business was done in wheat at the full prices of Tuesday. Oats met with a very slow sale, and may be quoted at id to Id per 451 b lower. New oatmeal brought 22s to 22s 6d per load in retail; old was quite neglected. Barley without change; but beans and peas were rather dearer, with a fiir inquiry. French flour end good brands of American met with a moderate demand at full prices, but inferior descriptions were very unsaleable. There were several buyers of Indian corn at market, but holders insisting on 28s per quarter for good yellow American, little business resulted. EXETER, AUG. 30.—Cattle Market--The supply of beasts was moderate. The ruling figure for fat beef was 8s per score, the extreme price being 8s 6d. Cows and calves sold freely at 91 to 121 each. Wool—The staplers to-day offer 64d per lb, but us the holders still hold ' out for 7d, but little business has been done. Pork Car- cases—The supply was• very much larger than that of last week; prices ranged from 7s Gd to 8s 6i per score. Pannier—Turkey poults, 5s to 5s 6d each; geese, ditto; ducks, 3s 6d to 5s per couple; fowls, 2s 6d to 4s; hares, 2s 6d to 3s each; roasters, 3s 94 to 5s ditto; butter, 93 to 10d per lb; eggs, 16 to 20 for 11. Corn Exchange— In the corn market, today, 5s 9d to 6s per bushel has been given for the best warranted samples of old, and 5s 6d to As 94 for best new. Red French was offered at 418 to 42s per Tianer, nod white Belgian at 44s to 463 ditto. Barley about the same as last week.
