B e . tween 30 and 40 vessels are wrecked betw ~, en Holy Isla n d and Lowestoft; one half of them foundered. About 20 hands are lost—many more would have been drowned if there had not been a number of vessels on the coast, which assisted in rescuing the crews of the vessels that went down. Inde pendently of the vessels that are sunk and ashore, there has been an immense destruction of property caused by vessels losing their canvass, anchors, was, &c. It would be im possible to enumerate the casualties within reasonable length; some of the wrecks are of a very heartrending cha racter. The Seven Brothers, of Shieldt, is lost near the Ower, with eight of her crew, and the master's wife. The thatrrerebsery master and there of the crew were saved, and have arrived at Shields. Two other vessel!, one at Holy Island, and the for. e o t f t at Whitby, and all hands, are lost. From the quantity ....e e are are other vessels in the Tyne : , t1 floating in the North Sea, it would appear except the Preet lost that are not accounted war steame r La p„t s olnnthzecssels that are wrecked belong to the various t oast. Two hundred sail of light colliers arrived All of the pilots have arrived safe home t?s; e it is feared they are lost.

The Presse has the following on the sub-marine telegraph. This is not the first time that M. de Girardin has done justice to the energy with which the President of the Republic gives encouragement and protection to useful projects : " The communication between London and Paris by the electric telegraph of M. Brett is entirely esta blished. Here again a chimera has become a rea lity, thanks to the faith of M. Brett, a faith which has traversed the ocean, and thanks to the perse vering intervention of Count d'Orsay, who obtained a year ago, from the President of the Republic, a promise that he would substitute his own good will in place of the bad one of the bureaux? Perhaps the same success might have been reserved for M. Petin if the same intervention had in his case been used between the President of the Republic and the Minister of the In terior. It appears that the only function of the bureau cracy in France is to do nothing, and to prevent every thing. If such be its part, it certainly fulfils it in a most irreproachable manner. It will not be its fault if the sub-marine telegraph has taken its place among the list of accomplished progress, it will be that of the Pre sident of the Republic, of Count d'Orsay, and of M. Brett." We read in the Bulletin de Paris of Tuesday evening : The first expedition of emigrants to California, with the funds derived from the lottery of the golden ingots, will take place to-morrow from Havre, if the weather permits. They are to leave Paris this evening by the railroad. They are 140 in number. " ..._ _ _ _ —lt has been stated that M. Langlois, Director of the Lottery of the " Lingots d'Or," contracted with M. Savalette for the sale of the last 500,000 tickets. Yesterday M. Savalette brought an action against M. Langlois before the Tribunal of Commerce, to obtain the annulment of the contract, to get back 100,000 f. which he had paid as a guarantee, and to obtain 250,000 f. as damages. He based his application on the ground that the contract was that he was to have the last 500,000 tickets, and that M. Langlois, by fictitious sales, had made it appear that only 500,000 tickets remained, whereas the number was much greater, and he was selling them in competition with his. M. Savalette's advocate demanded that the case should be heard forthwith ; but the advocate of M. Langlois opposed this, and the Tribunal directed that it should come on in the regular order. M. Langlois, having published a letter in the Made containing serious imputations upon M. Clement Reyre, the Government Commissioner of the lottery, the Minister of the Interior has ordered a prosecution of M. Langlois, who will thus be called upon to sub stantiate his statement, or to take the consequences of calumaious accusations. FATAL AFFRAY NEAR ALN WICK. On Sunday week th e v ill age o f Elli ng h am, near Aln wick, in the county of Northumberland, was tho scene of a serious affray with a number of drunken Irish reapers, which has unhappily resulted in the death of one of them. About four o'clock in the afternoon of that day several Irish reapers broke a number of panes of glass in the house of Mr. Laidlaw, a publican, where they had been drinking, after which they became riotous and per fectly unmanageable. On leaving the house they pro eeeded in a body down a lane in the village, and were followed by Mr. Laidlaw and two men, named Smith and Gibbinson, who dema n d e d p ayment f or t h e d ama ge done to the windows. The Irishmen used very abusive language, and one of them, w h ose name was M'C orm i c k, swung his reaping hook in th e a i r , an d th rea t e ned to kill Mr. Laidlaw with it, and so violent was their conduct that he was glad to take refuge in a joiner's house. About a quarter of an hour afterwards, three of the Irishmen, one of whom was M'Cormick, met Smith and Gibbin son, and, after threatening them as they had done Laidlaw, struck at them with their hooks, and in flicted a slight wound on Gibbinson's hand. Smith, who at this time had a gun in his hand, threatened to fire if they did not stand back, when M'Cormick replied that there was no fear, fir the gun was not loaded. Smith and Gibbinson then retreated, but were pursued by the three Irishmen, who continued to strike them with their hooks, but Gibbinson contrived to ward off the blows with his stick. The two men were then driven to a place where they could not retire further on account of the bushes, upon which a desperate struggle took place, in the midst of which Smith's gun went off. Gibbinson and Smith then ran away, and the Irishmen again pursued them, and one of them threw his hook, which struck Smith on the shoulder. The two men then escaped from their pursuers. It was afterwards found that M'Cormick bad been shot, and Smith, when he heard of it, expressed great sorrow, and said he had no intention to hurt him, but only wished to protect him self. M'Cormick's wound was found upon examination, to be of a serious character, and he died from the effects of it on the following Sunday. Smith has since been apprehended. A jury has been summoned by Mr. Russell, the coroner for the distric', by whom a thorough investigation into all the circumstances will be made. RAILWAY EXCURSION TICKETS. At the Southwark County Court on Wednesday, be fore Mr. Clive, an action was brought by an individual named Raikes, against the South-Eastern Railway Company, to recover the sum of 17s. for an alleged breach of contract on the part of the company. Mr. Church appeared on behalf of the railway company. Plaintiff stated that a month ago he took three return tickets for Abbey Wood and back, and paid a shilling each, expecting to return at eight o'clock. When that train came up to the Abbey Wood station, he wai told the train was quite full, and that he and his party must wait for another. Being compelled to be in London at a certain time, he took a conveyance to London for him self, sister, and niece, fur which he paid 143.; which sum, with the 33. paid for the tickets, was the amount sought to be recovered. Mr. Robertson, a gentleman who was on the platform at the time the eight o'clock train arrived, when there were 500 persons waiting to be conveyed to London, said he tried several trains afterwards, but could not bo conveyed hence. There were no printed bills posted up stating that there would be other trains run until all the people were carried to London. Mr. Church, on behalf of the company, contended that the Abbey Wood, being an intermediate station, no ad ditional trains could by any possibility be added there, and that they were protected by their by-laws (which were hung up in every station) Irons taking passengers when the train was full. They (the company) bad destination com pleted th e i r contract with the excursionists by sendiag additional train s unt il a ll t h e passengers were ta k en to I e t igt be to r o thei r o na nd before g e kyy 2ndon an d ot h er stations. He considered the contract of y th . e couran— to be, to convey the p assenge r s by ex u giving th em the opportunity ot returain b an train h e r s r t e o n m trainsh' and nd th b e a could in one sa d the a y company had b ro k en their contract they 31 et must wait un til the last train. His Honour portance to the public, and as he had some doubts as to the liability of the company, ho should take time to consider his judgment. —Judgment deferred until Mon ) day next. THE TRAGEDY at CAMBERWELL. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) The evidence of the policeman and others who en. tered the premises immediately on hearing the alarm, and also of Dr. King, who described the appearances of the bodies, and stated the cause of death, and the pro bable way in which the wounds were inflicted, was next received by the Coroner, and the inquiry was adjourned to Wednesday next, when it was expected the widow of Faucett and the surviving child would be able to attend. HEALTHOF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The health of London is much better than it was in the two previous weeks, when the deaths of 1,026 and 1,097 persons were registered. The deaths of 958 persons were recorded in the week ending Saturday, September 27 ; 473 were males, and 485 were females; 190 were of th e age o f 60 and upwards, 460 were children under the age of 15, and 308 were men and women in the middle period of life. The decrease in the mortality is general over the five divisions of London. 141 p ersons d i ed in the public institu tions ; 69 in workhouses, 8 in military and naval asylums, 58 in hospitals, 3 in lunatic asylums, 2 in military and naval hospitals, end 1 in prison. Small pox and typhus have declined, but they were the causes of 13 and 46 deaths. Of the small-pox victims 11 had not been vaccinated ; 2, it is stated, had been vaccinated. 39 children and 2 adults died of scarla tina, which is prevailing in many districts. 7 per sons died of erysipelas, 8 women of childbirth and of metria, the following fever. Consumption was fatal to 123 persons ; 100 of the 308 deaths at the age between 15 and 60 were referred to this constant cause which bereaves so many parents of their chil dren, so many children of their parents. Violence, typhus, heart disease, bronchitis, and cancer, ar e th e diseases next in the order of fatality at the same period of life. Diarrhoea is declining ; the deaths in the five last weeks were 174, 192, 101, 97, and 91 in number. The deaths from cholera in the same weeks were 28, 17, 17, 7, 9. Half of the cases were of more than three days' duration. It has been men tioned before that half the fatal cases of the ‘ ep id emic cholera terminate in 24 hours after th e . first str i king . enoe symptoms issh h o a w v n e . app T e h a e red p . op A ul n a o ti t o h n er o s f ingz o l n ar do ci n iffe o r n tohne t n h o e r s t o h u s t i h d es side e 'the f the Thames Thamesin 18 6 5 1 1 6, was 1,745 , 095, ;1, numbers 74 0,09 5, nearly in the proportion of 3to 1. Yet the number of deaths from cholera in the year 1849 on both sides of the river was nearly equal, 7,000 and 7,137.

Mr. J. Dickson, a yeoman of Clifton, Westmoreland, lies in a dangerous state from the effects of a strange mistake. Returning f rom Penrith market he w ent to sleep in a recess on Lowther-bridge; on awaking, b e he was getting into bed, leaped over and fell into the river, forty feet below. Though very much hurt, he managed to crawl to the edge of the strea m, where he was found next morning.- 1 itr e g u ro in t iP e e r : a a nd bo F tit a , c f g o u tin t,. d the parapet, and imagining A MAGPIE._---S erne goners of the P e l ag months ago some of the pri- of the courts, s aw a magpie, evidently greatly fatigued, alight on one of th e t rees. One of them immediately climbed ie, whilst t a ki ng th e i r d a ily w a lk i n one up and captured it. In a short time the bird became com pletely tamed, and WAS much liked by all the prisoners. i Every day it was accustomed to fly away for a few hours, but invariably ret urned at nightfall. Thefts of different petty articles were f rom time to time committed by it, but the prisoners did not complain. Yesterday they saw all at once a from one of the cells w ith a s h ee t of pper being frightened, let the prisoners shouted, and the bird, paper f a ll. It t urne d out to b e a th in e imtsagpe mouth. ily The partly written letter; and as it had been taken from the cell of a man suspected of being a spy over his comrades, the prisoners insisted that it should be read. One of them, get ting on a bench, accordingly read it aloud. It was ad dressed to the director of the gaol, and contained details of the conduct and conversation of certain of the prisoners. On this loud clamours arose against the writer, and he would have been grossly ill treated if he had not prudently beat a retreat. It being dangerous to leave him longer in the gaol, he was in the evening sent to the prison of La Rockoette,— Gait;pani, LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct 2.

We understood that this examination was ad journed. The Learned Commissioner was too unwell to sit in court to-day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. William Moore, messenger to Mr. Osborne, news paper agent, was brought before Mr. Alderman Car- den for final examination upon the charge of having robbed his employer of 10 newspapers. The prisoner—lt was the first time I ever did any thing of the kind, and I shall never do so again. Committed for trial. William Brown was charged by a sergeant of the Royal Marines with having deserted from that corps between 15 and 16 years ago. The defendant most positively denied that he had ever enlisted or seen the sergeant before. The case, which excited a great deal of interest, was postponed for the production of witnesses. EVENING, OCTOBER 3, 1851. MARYLEBONE. The Government van brought up with other pri soners from the House of Detention, Clerken well, the woman, Ann Davis, who on Tuesday last was brought up to this court upon the horrible charge of having burnt her daughter Ellen Davis, eight years and a half old, with a red hot poker, and thereby inflicting upon her very serious injury. Mr. Fell, the chief clerk, read over the depositions which had been taken by him at considerable length, and while doing so the prisoner seemed to feel most acutely the serious situation in which she was placed, and shedding tears, buried her face in her hands. Mr. LONG — now examined another witness. Whipp, 86 D, was sworn, and said—l am an officer attached to this court. On Tuesday last I ap prehended the prisoner by virtue of a warrant which was granted by your worship, and, on my reading it to her, she admitted to me that she bad burnt her child with the poker. Mr. LONG—Before she made this admission that you have named had you made any promise or threat whatever ? Witness—None, Sir. Mr. Fell—Did you examine the child ? Whipp— I did, Sir. The wound was shown to me, and it was evidently caused by a burn. Mr. LONG inquired if there was any other witness, and, on his being replied to in the negative, ho ad dressed the accused, saying—Prisoner at the bar, you have heard the evidence; do you wish to say anything in answer to the charge ? You are not bound to do so, but whatever you do say will be taken down in writing, and may be used in evidence against you upon your trial. Do you now wish to say anything ?" Prisoner (still in tears)—No thing, Sir. The worthy magistrate (Mr. LONG), evidently under feelings of the deepest emotion, addressed the prisoner in the following words, which were listened to attentively by all in the Court :—For the offence with which you have been brought before me it is my duty to send you for trial at the sessions. I have the power of dealing with you summarily; but, in a case so flagrant as this, I cannot feel myself justified in doing so. It is painful to me to see a person of your respectable appearance charged with cruelty to your child, whom, as a mother, you were bound to cherish and protect, and it is really quite shocking that you should have treated her in the manner which has been deposed to. When you were first charged here you said that what you did was in the heat of passion, and that admission on your part showed that you were sensible of your having done wrong ; and I am willing charitably to hope that your conduct towards your child did not arise from a malignant and gene rally cruel disposition. lam now going to send you for trial, and what your sentence may be at the sessions it is not for me to anticipate ; but I cannot help imagining that it will be a severe one. I hope that in the solitary and gloomy walls of a prison, in which you will be placed prior to your trial, that you will, while in solitude, reflect properly upon the offence of which you have admitted yourself to be guilty, and that the spiritual advice and consolation which you will receive from the chaplain at the prison will have the effect of making you fully sensible of the enormity of the offence for which I now send you to trial. The prisoner, while being conveyed from the court to the van, in which she was removed to Clerkenwell House of Detention, was hissed and hoopted by a great crowd who had assembled to witness her de parture. CLERKENWELL. James Kemp, an elderly man of respectable ap pearance, was charged by Mr. William Wood Hors field, of the Bricklayers' Arms, Kingsgate-street, Holborn, with stealing a snuff-box. The prosecutor said that on Wednesday evening, at about seven o'clock, he was behind his bar, when the prisoner entered and asked if he could be provided with a bed, saying that he had come to London to see the Exhibition. On being answered in the affirma tive, the prisoner said he would go and fetch his luggage, and requested a pinch of snuff. Mr. Hors field handed his box, when the prisoner took a pinch, and the box was put upon the counter. The prisoner left the house, and the box being immediately missed, Mr. Horsfield pursued him, and traced him to the Orange Tree, Orange-street, Red Lion-square, where he had attempted a similar robbery, and he gave him into custody to William Cherryman, 153 F, who, on seaching him, other snuff-boxes, &c., were found in his possession, and there was no doubt he had been in the habit of robbing licensed vic tuallers. Mrs. Elizabeth Hull, of the Orange-tree, Orange street, Red Lion-square, said, that on the same even ing the prisoner entered her bar, and said he had come to London to see the Exhibition and to inquire for a bed. He requested a pinch of snuff, but she told him she had lost her box. She asked him where he had come from. He replied, " Oh, you want to know too much." Mr. llorsfield came in and gave him into custody. William Cherryman, 153 F, proved having searched the prisoner, and finding two other snuff-boxes, a German silver teaspoon, and other articles, supposed to have been stolen. He said he did it through distress. A counterfeit half-crown and hat-box with a new hat in it were also found on him. Mr. TTRWHJTT asked the prisoner what he had to say to the charge, giving him the usual caution ? He replied that he was drunk at the time, and did not know what he bad done, and h© was sorry. He was fully committed for trial. THAMES. Mrs. Jane Robinson, an elderly matron, who was attired in deep mourning, and whose manner and ap pearance indicated that she had seen better days, came before Mr. Yardley, and humbly solicited relief, under circumstances of a very peculiar and distressing nature. Mrs. Robinson said that she had been a house keeper in the parish of St. George's-in-the-East, where her husband formerly carried on business, for 41 years, and she had been the mother of 13 chil dren, of whom only one survived. She was formerly In affluent circumstance, but the death of her hus band, and a succession of calamities, had left her homeless and pennyless, In the course of the last two years she had lost three sons, who, after they had arrived at the age of manhood, died of consumption, after a very long and protracted illness. This be reavement was followed by the death of her husband, whose illness was also a long one, and attended with a vast expense, which nearly ruined her. In June, 1850, her daughter's husband, who was mate of a ship, died from a sun-stroke at sea, and her daughter was deprived of the means of support. For some time she maintained herself and daughter by needle work, which was very indifferently paid for, and by letting out part of her house furnished. A lodger contracted a debt of :10/., by stating that he had a judge's order for 1351., and that when it became due he would pay her the arrears of rent. At the ap pointed time he had not the money, and she disco vered, when it was too late, that she had been im posed upon by a man who never meant to pay her. The landlord accordingly levied for 12 months' rent, and seized everything she possessed, and also the goods of a lodger, for whom she paid 345. to enable her to recover her goods from the broker. This was the finishing blow to her misfortunes, and herself and daughter were now in the greatest possible state of distress. They had subsisted for the last three months by the sale of her husband's books and their own wearing apparel. Those resources were quite exhausted, and as a last extremity and with great re luctance she now made this public appeal. Mr. Levingston, the chief usher of the Court, knew the applicant to be a roost deserving woman, over- whelmed with misfortunes, and in a bad state of health. She had been recommended to his notice by the Rev. Mr. Quekett, incumbent of Christ Church, AVatney-street, and by the Rev. Mr. M'Caul, minister of St. Mary's Church, Back-road, both in St. George's parish, who had given her some relief. The mother and daughter, both widows, were very willing to emigrate to Australia, and the Rev. Mr. Quekett had kindly promised to obtain a free passage for them but they had no clothes except what they stood up right in, and no means of providing necessaries for the voyage. Mr. YARDLEY said, if a sovereign would be of any service to the distressed applicant, who had met with a series of calamities beyond the reach of human con trol, she might have one from the poor-box. He had no doubt her story was true—too true ; but a sove reign was all he could give her. He hoped that if this case should come under the notice of the benevo lent who bad the means and the inclination to do good, that she would obtain some further assistance. The widow, whose sobs almost choked her utter ance and who with difficulty made herself understood, expressed her thanks to the magistrate for his dona tion, and left the Court. THE REGISTRATIONS. MIDDLESEX. Yesterday the revising barrister, Mr. Shadwell, held his court at the Albion Hall, Hammersmith, for the revision of the lists of voters in the polling dis tricts of Chiswick, Fulham, Hammersmith, St. Luke's Chelsea, and St. Mary Abbott's, Kensington. Mr. Alley Jones attended as agent for the Conser vatives; and Mr. James for the Liberals. Mr. JONES objected to the name of Mr. George Thompson, M Y., being retained in the list, on the ground of misdescription of qualification. lie found that the Hon. Member for the Tower Hamlets, who was so deeply interested in the success of the freehold land scheme, and who went so much through the country instructing others how they could obtain the elective franchise, had misdescribed his own qualifica tion. Mr. Thompson was described, " George Thomp son, place of abode, 128, Sloane-street, county of Middlesex ; nature of qualification, yearly tenant above 501." His (Mr. Junes's) objection was, that a yearly tenant above 501. was not a qualification in conformity to the provision of the statute. Mr. G. E. Dennes, solicitor, who appeared profes• sionally for Mr. Thompson, who was also in court, said he could show the barrister that Mr. Thompson occupied a house in Sloane-street, as a " yearly tenant above 501." BARRISTER--Mr. Thompson is objected to as not described accurately. Mr. Dennes—By the 40th section of the Act, sir, you have power to amend the description. Mr. Thompson is present, and will prove that he occupies the house 128, Sloane-street. Mr. Jones—l submit that the barrister has no power to amend. The 40th section of the Act 6th Victoria, cap. 18, enacts " that the Revising Barrister shall expunge the name of every person whose quali fication, as stated in any list, shall lae insufficient in law to entitle such person to vote." The Act also provides that " the barrister shall not he at liberty to change the description of the qualification, as it ap pears in the list." BARRISTER—" Except," in the words of the Act, " for the purpose of more clearly and accurately defi ning the same." Mr. Jones—l submit, sir, that the qualification here is bad on the face of it; and that being so, you have no power to amend it. There is no mistake in the list ; the overseers have not made a mistake ; the mistake has been made by Mr. Thompson himself. He has not given himself a qualification. BARRISTER—Looking at the description, I find the words " Yearly tenant above 501." That means from year to year. Mr. Jones—A " yearly tenant," that does not give him a qualification. He might be a yearly tenant of twenty houses " above 501. a year," and yet not an occupier, and, therefore, without a qualification. Mr. Dennes said he would prove the notice, and called upon Mr. Thompson, who said the signature to the notice was in his handwriting. Mr. Jones—When did you sign it, Mr. Thompson? Mr. Thompson—l cannot answer precisely. Mr. Jones—Was it within a week ? Mr. Thomp son—No. Mr. Jones—Was it within a month ? Mr. Thomp son—No. Mr. Jones—Was it within a year ? Mr. Thompson —Yes • I can speak to a year. Mr:Jones—Was it before you went to America, or since your return? Mr. Thompson—l think before. Mr. Dennes then elicited from Mr. Thompson that he had for four years occupied the house 128, Sloane street, at a yearly rent of 1001., and that he was bound by his lease not to let any part of it. The BARRISTER—Mr. Thompson has an occupa tion, but he has not described it in the manner in which the statute requires. I should like to secure him his vote, but I regret I cannot. Mr. Thompson then addressed the court, and sub mitted that he had complied with the Act of Parlia ment. lie occupied a house at a rental of 1001. a year. Might he ask the Barrister if the spirit of the Reform Bill was not to give the qualification to tenants of 50/. a year and upwards, and whether he did not come within the provisions of the Act in that respect. The BARRISTER admitted that the spirit of the Act was to give the franchise to voters of Mr. Thompson's class ; but regretted that that gentleman had not de scribed his qualification properly. He must, there fore, expunge his name for the present year from the list, and he had come to that decision not without considerable regret. SCOTTISH HOSPITAL. A quarterly court of the governors of this hospital was held ma Wedneday at the offices of the corporation, Crane-court, Fleet-street; Mr. Nesbitt in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting having been read and confirmed, the minutes of the relief committee were read, from which it appear e d th a t in J u ly there we re 210 applicants for relief, among whom 1541. was distributed ; in August there were 205 applicants, who were relieved to the extent of 153/.; and in September, 205 applicants, who received 1511., in each case, exclusive of pensioners. The total receipts had been 2,374/. 135., and the expenditure, including 1,785/. in pensions and relief, 2,241/. 35., leaving a balance of 1331. 10s. in the hands of the bankers of the corporation. The seal of the hospital having been affixed to a warrant of attorney, to enable the Bank of England to receive certain dividends belong ing to the corporation from the South Sea Company, the chairman handed to the governors the key of the strong box of the hospital, recently held by the late Mr. W. Hamilton, one of the oldest and most con sistent supporters of the charity, to whose philan thropic character and virtues the chairman paid a tribute of respect, a minute of which was ordered to be placed upon the record of the proceedings of the day in commemoration of the respect universally en tertained for him by the governors of the hospital. Mr. Kirtle was requested and consented to hold the key until St. Andrew's day, when a new election of trustees, of whom there are three, ea c h h o ldi ng keys, must take place. A motion was then brought for ward for altering the age at w hi c h par ti es b o rn in England of Scottish parents are permitted to apply for relief from 70 to 60 years of age. In the course of discussion, however, it appearing that the charit able committee have the power of relaxing the rule in cases of necessity —a power of which they gene rally appear to have been ignorant—the motion was withdrawn. After the transaction of some routine business of a purely private character, the meeting separated. THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

Our stock of wheat being comparatively large, and consisting principally of the secondary de scriptions from the Elbe and the Baltic, and of Egyptian and Black Sea kinds, sales were not readily effected under the pressure of barrel flour on the market.
