BIER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY THE QUEEN „, 11 ,"ing been pleased tt send a Donation of 201, to the Fund. how ln_.ng colisequence of the late Calamity on the Scroby Sand • and the subscriptions already received from several Noblemen, Public ( " 31 13anies, Insurance Societies, Private Individuals, and others, to- Zether with the Inhabitants of Yarmouth and the neighbourhood, a mounting to a considerable sum ; the Committee confidently hope that the benevolent objects contemplated In the following appeal, and stated In the concluding paragraph, may be dilly realised through the increased assistance and sympathising liberality of the public at large. AUTHORISED STATEMENT OF TIIE CALASIITY AND LOSS OF LIFE ON THE SCROBY SAND, OFF YARMOUTH BEACH, On SUNDAY, JANUARY 2:, 1845, TO THE NOBILITY, GENTRY, AND CLERGY. AND TO THE SHIPPING, 3fA NUFACTURING, AND TRADING POPULA TION OF ENGLAND. - It is well known to those acquainted with the Eastern coast of Nqrfol it. that, during heavy gales, the immediate vicinity of Yarmouth Roads is one of the most dangerous parts of the entire coast of Englatid. l'he 'Lumber of wrecks which occur on the Barber, Cross, Corton, and especially the Scroby Sands, ban long ago Induced a hardy, brave, and intrepid race of men to devote their entire lives to the saving of property and life along the coast. A number of boats called yawls, measuring from 50 to 80 feet long, and from 30 to 50 tons burden, have, at an expense of from 3001. to 4001. each, been built by the joint contributions of the Beachmen, Who have f rmed themselves into companies for that purpose. With thes; they often leave the shore at the most imminent risk of their lives, not only when the chance of saving property holds out to them the hope of a large reward in the shape of salvage, but with no less earnestnoss and intrepidity when the only satisfaction they have in Prospect is rescuing from a watery grave some of their fellow creatures. On no occasion is it remembered that this noble and disinterested daring was more magnanimously displayed than un Sunday. the 26th o f January, l8.!5, on whichday,cTuring rveryheavy gale ftom N. tr. an dby W. no less titan five brigs were in distress, four upon the S cro by Band and one upon the Barber. In no one of these cases was there, at the time of their condition being discovered, the slightest probabi lity of savin g a n ythi ng like property. Nothing, therefore, but the _ w ane promptings of humanity could offer any inducement to the B eachmen to man their boats : yet they hesitated not a single mo- M oat, but at once launched their gallant barks and set forward to the rescue. Happily their efforts, in four instances, were suet essfill in "'Ting all the crews. The Caister Beachmen, with their yawl, Storm, succeeded in saving the crew of the Elizabeth, of Scarborough, nine in number. The Holkham Company, in their Yawl, the Red Rover, 38 tons, 'Went off to the brig Jane, of Whitby, from which, although the yawl 2 ' 4l nained considerable damage, they succeeded in rescuing the crew, nine in number. The Young Company, with their yawl, the Sailor's Friend, of 48 t onsrsucceeded, at very considerable risk, in taking off the crew of t he bt'ig Choice, of Newcastle, also nine in number. _ The star C om p any, i n t h e i r yaw l , Ph oen i x, went o ff to the Ann, of ! 4u nderlend, from which, after splitting the stem and carrying away the mast of the yawl, they rescued and safely landed the crew of nine me n. Having thus far been enabled to record the meritorious and suc all conduct of these gallant men, who, in addition to the immi :tient risk of their liv es , h ave su ff ere d cons id era bly i n th e i n j ury d one o t heir property—for which no remuneration can be anticipated but °m the benevolence of a British public, it remains to relate the me an h olY catastrophe which forms the climax to this statement. the The Beachmen of th e " Ph oen i x " h av i ng safely landed the crew of " Ann," and being themselves much exhausted, a fresh crew of i o the same Company re-manned the yawl, and immediately proceeded hi another Vessel lying in distress on the Scroby ; the wind was then ow in g a hurricane. On nearing the vessel, they found the sea tailing over her, and made an nsnccessftd attempt to reach ,',.."ng to do so, they let go their s anchor and veered down ; unforta 7"elY the force oft.he sea drove the yawl upon the brig and dashed be er' to pieces ; when the Beachmen—with the exception of one man d_litned Abraham WetiNrell), who sank with the yawl—got on board b rig. Which was now Arifting, and every sea breaking with tre ...miens violence over her The accident bein g witnessederom the shore several men belonging 10 the different Companies manned the life-boat and flew to their as -"lace. The danger of all was extreme, and those on shore trembled alik e , for the poo r fellows on the brig and those in the life-boat. Hap rY she r eac h ed the brig though too late for many, some of whom Were carried overboard by the falling of the brig's masts, and some drowned on the wreck. Six only of the " Phoenix's crew were savedi ; _ of the brig's crew, who were in a state of exhaustion when the Phoenix" first reached ber, the whole perished. Thus in the noble attempt to save the lives of their fellow-men, seven of our gallant beachmen found a watery grave, leaving behind four widows and fourteen children (ten of whom are under we've years of age) totally unprovided for, as well as the aged Mothers of the three single men. Their naces were Abraham ,Watherell (leaving a widow and nine children), James Shreeve ~...`W i dow and three children), Ganham (alias James) Billing (widow aa two children), James Boulton (widow), Willia-n Warner, George points. and James George, single men, but upon whom their widowed I hothers, or aged parents, depended for subsistence. _To provide a fund to relieve the necessities of the bereaved—to re ,_"'ard the noble fellows who so gallantly risked their lives for others— ,'" in replacing the serious loss snffere4 by the boatmen—and ,'" `" form a nucleus for a permanent fund for the relief of sufferers u nder similar calamities in future—ls the object of the present a ppeal.

Yesterday a meeting of ladies was held at the Hanover square Rooms, being summoned by the Ladies' Committee i for promoting the success of the Free-Trade Bazaar, to hear addresses from W. J. Fox, Esq., and George Thomp i son, Esq. Before one o'clock, the time appointed for the meeting, the Queen's room was filled. Mr. William Beaver was introduced to the chair by Mr. Scull. The CHAIRMAN said, Ladies, it would be bad taste in me to occupy a single portion of your time, when we have such friends as Mr. Fox and Mr. George Thompson 'in your presence. I will at once commence the business of the morning by calling upon W. J. Fox, Esq., to address you.—(Applause.) Mr. Fox then came forward, and was received with considerable applause. He said—Such an audience as I behold here assembled, and on such an occasion as that which has led to your coming together this day, renders the present meeting one without precedent or parallel in the history of public speaking. The circumstances give it a p culiarity of character, which, to a certain extent, cannot but depress the feelings of those who have to address you, from the very sense of moral sublimity, which cannot but be suggested to our minds by the scene which we now contemplate.—(Hear, hear.) For—to behold you, the representatives of the women of England, brought together to bear your public and active testimony . to the cause of justice and hu manity, involved as it is in the proceedings of the Anti- Corn-law League, is a nobler and a grander sight than any miscellaneous public assemblage, however vast its numbers, and however determined its opinions. It is grander far than any gathering of any patriots or warriors listening to thessrarsers wHOUF - ' they expect to guide them on to battle and to victory. It is grander than any meeting of the ministers of reli gion assembled in their robes, gowned and mitred, and surrounded by adoring multitudes—because in you, who have so great an object to be realised—an object as great as ever was contemplated by human beings—in you we see the women of England met to declare that the laws which refuse to industry its remuneration—which ag gravate the wretchedness of the suffering and restrict the achievements of enterprise—which divide class from class—which swell the bills of mortality and fill the record:, not only of disease, but of crime—ought to be abolished. You are met here to bear your testimony that this disease-creating, and poverty-producing law shall not be continued—a law which presses down the powers of the country, and renders this isle the abode of vice and wretchedness, when it might be one of virtue and of enjoyment—of honourable and useful progress. But, what can I say to you—can I declare to you more than you yourselves express by your attendance here? What topics can I appeal to which you have not anticipated? Your presence here is more eloquent than the most strenuous discourse of the most eloquent public speaker.—(The Learned Gentle man was here briefly interrupted by an expression of approbation which we cannot call a cheer or applause, but which was too marked to be left altogether un recorded.) He went on to say that the effect of the corn-laws upon the whole of the British community was such 'as might be experienced by this great metrepolis, if that proud and stately river which flows through it were to change its course, and instead of mingling its waters with the ocean, were to surround, enclose, and isolate the City and the whole of Middlesex, so that we might speak of this metropolitan county, as the old romancer talked of the isle of Windsor, they . would have the isle of Mid dlesex. Food would rise in price—land would rise in value—rents would be doubled as they had been through • out, under the present restrictive system, but the imme diate cultivator would not find remuneration. Many would be driven to leave the localities to which they were attached, and would be obliged to go forth pilgrims, with heavy hearts, to look for a country which would give them a remuneration for their labour. Kent and Essex and Buckingham would have their retributory codes, and would impose pro hibitory duties on the produce of Middlesex. He told them that which they themselves knew, which they, the women of England, told to the world by gifted members of their sex—he told them but that which had been put forth in bold and strong language by Mrs. Loudon, in her " Philanthropic Economy, which had been told with such elegance and almost fairy stores of fancy by Mrs. Marcets, and what had been told in such sound philosophy, and with such varied illustration and infinity of resources, in the elegant and powerful lan guage of Harriet Martineau.—(Hear, hear.) They had given the world instruction, and they came there only to say that they were not inattentive to their lessons. They rejoiced that the women of England came forward there nn Mat day with such strong sympathy and determined no, in i rn, bießPSvc‘int:,..LS. -r ee:tehers onsasarekeeMsi which pens, and eloquent ones, had been found amongst their own sex. They had well done their duty; and if some times the heart of man forgot what was due to such teachers—if there was a tendency to take a dishonour able license with their names—if it was said that writers of the gentler sex should, instead of discussing such sub jects, remain at honie, making puddings and mending stockings, they might retort by saying that they were too honourable for many men otherwise employed at the present moment; and if legislators, peers, and rulers could not imbibe the simple lessons taught by those women, and had not integrity enough to act on them, why they were unworthy not only of their present functions, but even of making puddings and mending stockings. There should be fur them a more charitable feeling, even if they were as ignorant as it was pretended they were—even if they could only set up nurseries for un enlightened Chancellors of the Exchequer, and offer plums and praise to Premiers, who seemed to have some glimmerings, though imperfect, of the truth.—(Laughter.) As it was not necessary to treat this question as a matter of argument before an audience so enlightened on the subject, he would refer to another topic, and would thank them rather for the demonstration of earnest feel ing which they had shown, rather than call on them to use greater exertions in the cause, for he knew that was not necessary. They felt earnestly in this matter, be cause the evils of monopoly in their most aggravated form came especially under the notice of woman's kind and observing eye. Many who were present there were doubtless witnesses in their own neighbourhoods of the gradual siukings from the effects of poverty—how di minished employment narrowed the resources derived from the wages of labour—how the poor lost one article after another—how their articles of furniture, and even their clothing went to the receptacle of the pawn broker — how one little luxury was given up one after another till the bare subsistence of the day was all that could be got. None so well as the gentler sex knew how all this time the heart was breaking un der the struggle ; how the spirit was worn with the ef forts to make an appearance in the world, and in the contention to bear up against approaching poverty. They knew how, under the operation of those impious laws, the working man was transformed ; how those tendencies which bound together human beings to each other, and all the diversified classes of society in one harmonious whole, were broken, till at last he sunk in the struggle if he did not turn to crime and guilt. He need but mention these things to awaken a vivid picture of them in the memories of many who beard him. He knew that they felt those things as they ought, and, therefore, they were there on the present occasion. He would do nothing more than express his thanks at the moral cou rage displayed by the women of England on this occa sion. To be present there, exhibited moral courage of no small amount, for they were opposed by an unscrupulous party who from their wealth and title gave the tone to fashion ; and not to be daunted by the sneers and in sinuations of such persons from being present there, exhibited the greatest moral courage. He had, however, to congratulate his fair and crowded auditory upon having as powerful advocates in their cause some portion of the public press. But he re gretted to say, that whatever of fidelity, and truth, and honour, they had experienced from that portion of the press favourable to their views—and they were not few —still he felt compelled to declare, that there were other public writers who, though they should be at least the faithful recorders of what passed at these meetings, yet did not hesitate to falsify their proceedings, and issue the most brazen contradictions cf what had been said and done by those who were present ; but they were not to be surprised to hear on occasions their motives mis construed and impugned, their kind and mild desires to do good falsified, in a manner altogether abhorrent to every feeling of every well regulated mind and member of society. Even in the highest ranges of literature he had known instances of the pen be ing wielded by powerful hands to the ac complishment of the basest purposes, when it appeared that women had the benevolence to make themselves marked by the use of their pen in exposing the pre vailing corruption daily vended in the market in the sustainment of bad laws. This he could call nothing less than wielding the tomahawk of political writers by the hands of interested ruillanism.—(Cheers.) But the objects of the solicitude of those he now saw around him, felt assured of their continued exertions; and those who made those exertions might rest assured of bespeaking, through their acts, an envied and envie kle glory and blessedness.—(Cheers.) For what could he said to stand as equal to that reward which would be certain to crown with success and victory, already anti cipated, the beneficent and meritorious warfare waged by such hands, ounscious that they stool forth as the fair and firm advocates for the well-being of suffering humanity. To enter into a detail, of the efforts of his fair auditory in connexion with the bazaar about to be opened in Covent-garden would be unneces sary, for he had already seen that in that too his highest expectations bad been anticipated, and therefore he had 40 peed to tell them what was to be done, for they all knew it much better than he could describe it. Fairy fingers had been at ivork, gi?ing softness, and hea t ity, a n d h armo ny G .ar rer l s Y t h d ie r h eafor off' the so clearly o is mbled e o r o f s e c n t th o s : of t se h err o fv to their works, an d th e canvass b a d 4 s P t Ci r '6 : l ' t b i the f Universe upon nature.

They had given truth its pl ace i a ll it s s i m pl e beauty, song and poetry abo un d e d i n thi r wor k s , an d thought and magi nation had lent all theiglorious richness to enhance their value.—(Cheers.) Tqhank his auditory, therefore, for all this as they meriteC was not the object of his speet.h, for it would not be irhis over. But he would say, they had given comretio: and perfection to a work which had long befog pied the minds of many as one that should be ticl taken ; and they had put c i t , before the world practial 'all that had long occupied the ' minds of the Aam Smiths and other philosophers of time one by.—(Loud cheers.) These philosophers, alti the had no influence over ou ey the counsels of the ream, although their voices were not heard in the great seminaries fur instruction, they were philosophers whc had achieved a mighty task, and performed a great good, and blessed work. The men who upheld those principles of philosophical eco nomy did a good and ntAlful work to prepare those who were to follow them in the consummation of it. Tho merchants and the mameacturers of the north were the next class who, when they saw laws made not only to injure their own interests but to spread desolation around the country—when in ors week a change in price might bring them from the height of prosperity to the depths of adversity, and reduce ihtm to a state of bankruptcy-- they put forth sent petitions to Parliatient, petitions signed b y mil lions, and when these vere disregarde d their strength . in migh t y meet i ngs , applied from their legislators to their coistit uen t s , a nd called upon the Country to raise its voice and s how its strength in im mense meetings for the liffusion of instruction on this momentous project, and who were ready to continuo that work until its end should be secouvlished. These philosophers, had doni - alirshare ann _ earned from their contemporaries and from their pos terity enduring honour. Something else was wanting to this to give it grace and neatness; something to round it off, and that such remaining want they, the women of Great Britain, had achieved. They made this a free struggle, no mere philosophical speculation, no party conflict; they carried it beyoni this, they rendered it more sacred than all that had as yet been done, or all that, without their assistance, could be achieved; they rendered it a household word; they brought it to their fire-sides ; they made it one of their household gods ; they declared that the wrong was so great and so grievous, the path so clear and the principle so good and, so glorious, that it de volved upon woman to lend her hand and raise her voice, in order to complete the purpose of those who had been so long instructing them in vain. They made it the cause and the plea of woman, whose moral sense was out raged; of woman, who knew better how to suffer than to strive, whose history was one of endurance, and conse quently whose sympathies were so keen for the op pressed; of woman, who was seldom seen acting under the blood stained banner of false glory, but who had been enlisted under the banner of kind administration; of woman, who stood by the Cross when the Apostles fled in haste, a nd who, by the strength of her sympathy, was destined to be entered, on account of this very question, in the annals of the deliverance of those who were as yet crying in vain for help, but who should from htr hand receive Joys and blessings, conso lation for the past and hopefulness for futurity: They did not now-a-days act as in former times, when the in sulted artisan struck down the plunderer of his rightful earning; and when the oppressed came together, in creasing their rage by communication, and had written the history of their remonstrances in the blood of the oppressors, and were hanged in hundreds in gratifica tion of the sanguinary justice of their tyrannical judges. But in your assembling together, and braving whatever may result, individually and collectively, you evince that firm gentleness which heaven in its wise constitu tion of things has invested with a moral power, and by investing it with this power given a pledge of its leading eventually to triumph, glory, and blessedness. For what can be said by all the world compared to that which your own minds and consciences will suggest? What is there in all the reproaches that may ba hurled, in all the sneers and sarcasms which may be levelled, at you, com pared with the anticipation of the success of your righteous warfare; with the blessings of those who are ready to perish, that will come upon the heads of who ever has aided in this deliverance; and with the sense that you have made an efficient contribution to the world's progress; with the consciousness that the mo tives by which you have been actuated derive their power from the purest sources, and that you exercise them in full communion with those religious princi ples that even in the presence of your God do not interfere with, but prompt your best endeavours for the well-being of suffering humanity. You know how to aid the League Bazaar a thousand times better than I could describe. Fairy fingers have been at work, the sOitnessislkNlOßJA .Nature's best nroductions, giving the Great Artist of the universe bestows on t h e flowers ea the field in all their richness and variety. The best hues of every bird that floats on the air have been offered to your adornment. There has been with you not only the efforts of perseverance, care, and taste, but these combined with industry. Some of you, for the sake of this great cause, have bid the canvas live and breathe to the admiring eyes of those who gaze on your artistical productions. You have moulded forms not unworthy of being animated with the breath of life. You have given truth its shrine in song, and to song pre pared for the voice, its enduring mould of melody. Thought has been at work putting forth its deepest powers; imagination, in all its gorgeous richness; n-e -mory, with its ample stores; the pen of the poet and the ry logician ;—all these you have combine d with the pon derous efforts of indust in its toils, w illing its contri bution also, soon to claim the attention of a gazing and admiring public, to show what the powe r, skill, taste, in dustry, perseverance, and energy must be which can produce such a testimonial as that which will speedily be exhibited of the diversity of British industry, the fervour of British charity, of the sk il, the combining and blending power, of the women of Great Britain compassionating suffering humanity The CHAIRMAN, at the conclusion s speech, exhibited to the meeting an elegant cushion, upon which a most beautiful cornucopi a was worked by the needle, forward e d by a lady from the country, through the medium of Mr. Burnett, sts a c ontribution towards the Bazaar. Th e beauty of t hi s article excited general admiration.

To regret the saying heighten the effect which had been produced was next to impossible, and he (Mr. Thompson) should deeply To him such spectacles as the one before him were not singular. In connexion with that sacred cause (the cause of emancipation) with which his humble name had been coupled by the chairman, be had for many years seen frequent meetings like that both in England and in of anything that might diminish it. America. It was not going beyond the truth to say that the triumph of the abolition cause was greatly accelerated, if not principally achieved, by the un tirin g efforts of the noble-minded women of England.—(Cheers') To them belonged, in no small measure, the honour of having formed that public opinion, which, in the end, was found so strong that a Cabinet Minister now opposed to them, declared in Parliament that it was impossible to resist its demand.—(Loud cheers.)

He (Mr. Thompson) ,knew too well the courage and forti tude of the women of this country to imagine for a mo ment that any of these things would scare them from the discharge of their duty.—(Cheers.) He had wit nessed the undaunted, the almost heroic bravery of their sisters on the other side of the Atlantic, in a kindred cause. He had seen them sit calm and unmoved in a meeting like that , , while a ruffianly mob without were breaking the windo ws, and thre atening the destruc • tion of the building ; _ and, while h e gazed upo n them, he had filt that he would sooner find his wife, his sister, or his daughter, among those women, than among the coroneted aristocracy of his native country.—(Cheers.) The truly noble were the truly humane. Not many mighty, not ninny honours able, had been memorialised in the pages of sacred his tory; but many who were poor , and despised in their e Ph own day h a d been. _ araoh s daughter was men tione3, ilf t was because she took pity on the infant she foun3 sleeping emong the bulrushes, and b roug ht it u p as Or own.--(Cheers.)

To do anything to help a cause like that which brought them together, was much; to win the approbetioU of their own hearts, was more; but, to obtain the testimony of Him who was greater than e rr hearts, was best of all and that could only be g ained by awaking our capacity for doing good the st andard of our duty, and losing no opportunity of s neaking or acting in the cause of truth and justice.— (Cheers) Thus far the anti-corn-law cause had teen conducted free from sectarianism on the one hand, end party-yolitical bigotry on the other,—(Cheers.) go distinctive differences were compromised by joining ihe League. No names were written on their standard is the badge of a party. No votes were given in the House of Commons for this man or that, because he was of this or that sect in politics. Never had the motto— " Meastirs - ;.s and - not piers t-been more - cOnsist4tly acted upon than by the League.— (Oheers.)

He had not unfrequently seen a dandy monopolist upon his canvass, after con temning the labours of the ladies, take off his hat and make a low bow to the wife of a voter, and at the same time earnestly entreat her to give him the benefit of her powerful, her omnipotent interest.—(Laughter and cheers.) Yes, so long as she wore his rosette in her bosom, and "a aved a handkerchief . of his colour at the window, and refused to deal with a tradesman that would not vote for him, so long she was in the way of &it) , ; but the moment she preferred the cause of Justice to him, his colours, and his party, then she was an officious intermeddler in matters foreign to her sex, her station, and her duties, and must be sent back to the distaff and the darning needle with a flea in her ear.—(Cheers.) When the energies of the women of England were first call. d forth in the anti corn-law cause; there was truly enough to excite their compassion, to enkindle their zeal, and to alarm them for the safety even of their homes and their country. Millions were but half employed, and hundreds of thou sands were altegether idle. Mills were empty, work houses were full. Placee of worship were deserted by those who had been their most steady frequenters, be cause of the poverty and misery that had befallen, even the most upright and religious. Seven hundred ministers of Divine truth had given it as their opinion that the wretchedness, demoralisation, and disaffection then every where prevalent, - were to be traced in no small degree to the influence of the corn and other kindred laws, which, by depriving the people of the means of obtaining em ployment, had hurried them to beggary, and placed them at the mercy of every tempter that might lure them to . their ruin. It was then the %%Lunen of England first ap pearad-in thelield, and nobly did they do their mmbt4Pl They went from hovel to hovel, and beheld for them- ' selves the desolation which iniquitous legislation had wrought. They saw the tireless hearth, the empty cupboard, the ragged children, the wasted wife, the helpless, hopeless husband. They saw independence, integrity, comfort, self-respect, attachment to the laws, and almost loyalty itself, broken down and wrecked by by the operation of a system framed for the benefit of particular classes, and those the most wealthy and least productive in the State ; and, seeing this, they resolved that they Would henceforth make it a part of their religion to labour to set free the industry of their native country.—(Cheers) Do any call this political ? Then, I say, shame on those who create the necessity for women to rouse up, at the strong call of nature, to reform the laws of the land !--(Cheers.) Do any call this un womanly ? I say that woman is never more woman— never acting more in accordance with her duties and the strong instinct of her nature—never more noble—never more sublime—than when exerting all her powers to remove the causes of misery and suffering around her. No radiant pearl that crested fortune wears; No gem that, sparkling, hangs from beauty's ears; Not the bright gars, that night's blue arcfi. adorn ; Nor rising suns, that gild the vernal morn ; Shine with more lustre that the tear which breaks, For human woe, down woman's lovely cheeks." —(Loud cheers.) Happily, the dark days to which he had alluded had passed away ; but let no one suppose that they were gone, never to return.— (Cheers.) Return they inevitably would, if the causes which formerly produced them were not removed. Heaven had in mercy sent abundance of food, and that abundance had had the effect of staying the progress of those heavy calamities which for several years had covered the nation with gloom, and brought the population to the verge of despair. In the order of events, bad harvests would again happen, and with them would come the re verses and ruin which had often before been experienced, unless the people of this country achieved their own emancipation, and abolished the laws which prevented them from realising the benefits of unrestricted com merce, and exchange of the products of their industry, with the varied tribes and countries of the world. (Cheers.) In this great woi k of the emancipation of human industry the women of England were ordained to take an honourable and influential part—a part in every respect in keeping with their position, their faculties, and their affections. Yes, and with their solemn obli gations and responsibilities in the sight of their Maker. Much nonsense was talked about what woman should do, and what she should not do, as though a difference in regard to sex made a difference in regard to responsi bility. He would advise all who heard him to take counsel of their own hearts, rather than advice from the adversary. What was it they were asked to do ? To fulfil the duties of rational, responsible, and immortal beings. In these respects they were equal with men, and with the angels of God. They had influence—the influence of speech, of example, of labour, and of wealth. This in fluence they were called upon to exert in the cause of their country. A day was coming when the plea of a difference of sex would bo insufficient to absolve them 1,,,,„.„,,..._.....um.,.......b0 then would dare to say " Do it is called to-day, for the night is 0.........,, 0,.,.. -. , -,_ neither knowledge, nor device, nor wisdom in thegrave?" But enough, those before him needed not that lie should add anything to what had been said in the way of ex planation. If they sought to be engaged in a good cause —the cause before them was good. If they sought good company in a good cause—the companions they would have in the cause of free trade were the benevolent, the wise, and the upright throughout the country ; and, if they sought reward, they would find it—in the blessings of the poor, the prosperity of their native land, the pro motion of peace and goodwill throughout the world, and the gratitude of coming generations, for having been the emancipators of British industry.—(Cheers.) Upon the motion of Mr. G. THOMPSON, seconded by Mr. SUMMERS Matron), thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL RIVER YACHT FAIRY. This beautiful little vessel, built of iron in the strongest manner, by Ditchburn and Mare, 145 feet in length and 21 feet breadth of , beam, and 250 tons burthen, fitted with oscillating engines, by John Penn and Son, was tried down the river yesterday for the fourth time. The Fairy left Deptford about nine o'clock a.m., under the charge of Commander Smith of the Woolwich Dockyard, with an officer and crew of the Black Eagle, aed the Royal Marines of the William and Mary yacht. Mr. John Penn, engineer, and his assistants, went on board at Deptford, and Mr. Lloyd, chief engineer at Woolwich Dockyard, embarked at that port to ascertain the speed of the vessel and the working of the machinery. This handsome vessel, which distanced all the other steamers on the progress down the river, is propelled with an astonishing degree of speed de cidedly far exceeding the greatest ever previously obtained by the screw propeller, with which she had been fitted on Mr. F. P. Smith's plan. The great speed of this vessel has been obtained by a very ingenious adaptation of the double slides to Mr. John Penn and Sen's engines, which renders them more eligible than any other description of engines for screw propellers. When op. posite the measured nautical mile in Long Reach, the speed of the royal river yacht Fairy was calculated by Mr. Lloyd, and found to be, atter ten trials, above thirteen knots on the average reckoning, and against wind and with the tide, upwards of fifteen statute miles per hour. The vessel rides in the water remarkably easy, notwithstanding her great velocity, and is so stiff and upright in a breeze, or when the whole have moved to one side, as to show scarcely any perceptible difference in her perpendicular position. The engines, by Messrs. John Penn and Son, are two of 64-horse power, each making 48 strokes per minute, and causing, by the aid of the cog.wheel attached to them, 240 revolutions of the screw propeller in the same period of time. The engines are very com pact, and, owing to their oscillating movements, only occupy a very small space in the vessel, 14 feet by 4 feet ten inches, and the connecting axle of the screw is entirely under the cabin floor, near the keel of the vessel. The beauty of the workmanship, and perfect adaptation of every part of the engines to each other, was clearly shown during the trial, as not the slightest degree of heat. ing took place, but every part worked with the greatest smoothness. It is expected the vessel will be completed in a few weeks, and ex. ceed in speed the fastest paddle-wheel steamer in any servioo, When opposite Charlton-pier en her return, the Fairy allowed No. 11 Waterman; fast boat, to get ahead, and, putting on her speed, distanced that vessel before she got to Blaokwall. The draught of ' the Fairy is 4 feet 4 inches forward, and 5 feet 4 inches aft, and i the height of the principal cabin, 6 feet 2 inches, and altogether very commodious and suitable for the purpose for which she has . been built. THE MURDER IN ST. GILES'S. CAPTURE OF THE MURDERER. Considerable sensation was created last evening in the neigbourhood of Great Queen-street, Holborn, by the announcement that the murderer of the unfortunate woman, Mary i3rothers, had been captured in a court leading off the above street. We made inquiry on the subject, and found that the information we had received was correct. It appears that Superintendent Pearce, having received some communications on the subject, paid a visit to the lodgings of the party charged with this diabolical murder, and was fortunate enough to ap prehend the individual in question. His name is under stood to be William Cannon, his age is about 19, he is a smith, working with his father in the Haymarket. Superintendent Pearce, on taking the prisoner into custody, informed him of the nature of the charge against him. It is not stated in what way the prisoner met the imputation. He was immediately conveyed to the Bow-street station house, and messengers were at once sent off to Mr. Old ham, the cutler, of High-street, St. Giles, and to the woman Palmer, the servant to the brothel, who attended very soon afterwards. Both of them, without hesita tion, identified the prisoner; the former as knowing him to be the purchaser of the knife found in the wound in the unfortunate women's neck, and the latter as being the person who accompanied the deceased and engaged the room where the murder was committed. W e are Oldham a the prisoner is a younghis man not aware that the pris oner was in an y w ay influenced by the recognition by thes e parties, but, as stated by not more tilan twenty years of age, very sallow i n com plr. etion, verytesremarkable in appear ance. These are all the accredited facts that have trans - fired to this tune - respecting the prisoner. TO SCHOOL ASSISTANTS.

Civil war has commenced in Switzerland, by an attack on Lucerne, in which, it is said, from 800 to 1,000 were killed. The particulars are given elsewhere. The French Government have presented to the Chamber of Deputies a Bill, demanding a credit of 2ti,700,000E, for the improvement of the ports of Dunkirk, Calais, Boulogne, Fe camp, Granville, and others. In the Chamber of Peers the discussion on the Colonial Administration Bill had commenced. The Minister of the Marine detailed at some length the object of the Government, which was to introduce into the colonies elements to promote the welfare of the slaves, to give them moral instruction, -an encouragement to legitimate mai riagcs, and an efficacious repression of abuses. On all these points the Government and the Committee were perfectly agreed in their opinions. There was, however, he said, one important point on which they differed. The Committee wished the reforms to be all effected immediately, whereas the Government were of opinion that it should be done by degrees. The Bill excites great interest. Miss Louisa Bingham, eldest daughter of \V. Bingham, Esq., of Philadelphia, niece of Lady Ashburton, and grand daughter of the late lion. Allin Chartier de Lothiniere, was married at Paris, on Wednesday, to Count Olivier de Bois guilbert. . The France Meridionale of the 29th ult. gives some addi tional details of the insubordination of the law pupils at Toulouse. " The lectures," says this journal, " which were interrupted by the Easter holidays, were to continue on the Friday after. The students arrived in great numbers to tartlieletture of - lth—Pdassal, but when therbeheld that the measure which they complained of was niaintained, they withdrew, notwithstanding the friendly representations of the rector, who was pleased to be present at the first sitting. The students continued to assemble, and used riotous lan • guage, until the arrival of the troops. They then dispersed in great agitation." Accounts from Rome state that further political arrests have been effected at Ravenna, by order of the military commission. The number of persons now in the prisons of that city for political offences amounts to upwards of 100, about twenty of whom belong to the first families in the pro vince. Among them are Counts Cappi, Gamba, Vicarj, MM. Dellavalle, Camerano, &c. i6.a.'07 Abairra POLICCW. Richard Dunn, the quondam suiter of Miss Burdett Coutts, applied to the ourt of Bankruptcy to be released from the Queen's Bench Prison as a preliminary step to obtaining his interim order. He had been incarcerated four years upon a judgment debt for costs of 80/. Mr. Commissioner Holroyd refused the application. At Warwick James Crowley was indicted for the wilful murder of William Tilsly, in 1842. The circumstances of the case will be fresh in the recollection of our readers. The father of the prisoner being apprehensive of danger from his violence, had employed; Tilsly to watch him. On Christ mas-day. 1842, the prisoner asked admittance to hid father's, and on being refused by Tilsly, shot him dead, and then made his escape to America, from whence he returned in 1844, and was captured. He was found guilty and sentenced to death, without hope of mercy. Mr. Philip Henry Cooper, the steward of Sir W. Massy Stanley, was found iuilty at Liverpool, of publishing a libel on the Rev. Joshua King. The libel arose out of a dispute on the subject of preserving foxes. At the Guildhall, Mr. Allum informed the sitting alder man that he had received a letter from the notorious Joseph Ad}', couched in the usual terms. Thomas Henry Robinson, a young man of gentlemanlike appearance, who recently held the appointment of cashier at the Reading station of the Great VVestern Railway, waP, charged at Worship-street with having feloniously apti:opri ated a 50/. note, the property of Mr. Blanchett, h licensed victualler, in Tottenham-court-road. It appeared that the alleged offence had been committed at Reading, and he was accordingly sent to that place for examination. At the Thames Police Court, Edward Farwey, the master of a school for the education of poor Irish children, in Princes square, Ratcliff Highway, and which is under the control of the Roman Catholic priests in the district, appeared before Mr. Ballantine, on a summons to answer a charge of assault ing John Uuckly, a boy only seven years of age. The brutal schoolmaster, who had flogged the boy most inhumanly, was lined 20s. Among the fair debutantes in high life, says the Herald, who are to be presented at her Majesty's Drawing-room, on Thursday next, will be Lady Adele Villiers, the youngest daughter of the Earl and Countess of Jersey ; Miss Hogg, daughter cf Mr. Hogg, Mr. ; the lion., Miss F. Searlett, second daughter of Lord and Lady Abinger ; Miss Lister, niece of Lord John Russell. We hear that Lady Blanche Somerset, eldest daughter of the Duchess of Beaufort, and Lady Caroline Leveson Gower, third daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, are to make their debiit in society this season ; but it is understood will not be presented at the first Drawing-room. The Duchess of Grafton and Lady Louisa Fitzroy have arrived at Grafton House, Piccadilly, from Wakefield Lodge, Northamptonshire, for the season. The Duchess is to be presented to the Queen on Thursday next, by the Countess have arrivedtif Ills Excellency Count Flahault is still fulfilling his diplo matic functions as French Minister Plenipotentiary at cliu Court of Austria, and the precise period of his expected de parture from Vienna for this country is not yet definitively settled. The Earl and Countess of Wilton have returned to Egerton Lodge, Melton Mowbray, from visiting the Duke of Rutland, at Belvoir Castle. The Noble Earl and Countess are ex pected to arrive in town for the season at the latter end of the ensuing week. The Earl of Harrowby (whose state of health for some time past has not been satisfactory) is at present very seri ously indisposed at his mansion in Grosvenor-square. Vis count Sandon remains in attendance on his noble parent. The Duke of Devonshire has been suffering for some days past from an affection of the eyes. The Marquis and Marchioness of Clanricarde and the Ladies De Burgh, after passing some weeks in Naples, left that capital three weeks since, on their return to this country. 21112SCELLA.NX 017 S. The meteorological observations made at the gardens of the Horticultural Society, at Chiswick, show the late winter to have been the most protracted and severe for many years past. From the Ist of December the mean temperature was 34 degrees, being lower than that of any similar period in the present century, with the exception of that of 1813-14, when it was one and a half degrees lower. March exhibited a lower mean than any similar month since 1797 ; and the mean of February was lower than that of any in the present century, being 33 deg. 12 min., or 8 deg. below the average. The mean temperature of December was 33 deg. 4 min., or nearly 7 deg. below the average. On Thursday night, between the hours of nine and ten, some persons passing along the Hackney-road discovered that a fire was raging in one of the rooms on the first floor front of the Refuge for the Female Destitute. The neces sary alarm having been given, the matron hastened to the room, when she found the bed and furniture in a general blaze. Without loss of time the whole of the inmates, to the number of nearly eighty, were aroused, it being feared at one period that the fire would extend throughout the spacious range of premises ; but, owing to the exertions of the residents, they succeeded in confining the flames to that portion of the establishment wherein they originated, and the services of the engines were not required. The damage is exclusively confined to the destruction of the bed and furniture. A few days ago an English vessel from China went &store near Etaples (Pas de Calais). The crew, consiattig of 17 persons, were saved, and hopes were entertatied that this would be the case also with the vessel an cargo, which were estimated at nearly 100,000/. ; but. appears, by an account of same of the journals, that tley have been wholly lost. A great number of vends cleared from the port of New castle, on Tuesday last, for Quebec, it being the first day of the season on, which vessels of the United Kingdom can, in accordance with their insurance policies, sail for America. On the following day a still greater number took their de parture, the wind blowing briskly from the west. Very extensive and long-required improvements are about being made at the Guildhall police-court, during which time the examination of prisoners will be heard in one of the chambers in the hall.

RECOVERY OF SPCHINA ECIE F ROM S A WRECK IN THE SEA. Advices were received at Lloyd's yesterday from Hong- Kong, giving accounts of the recovery of about 150,000 dollars, from the wreck of a ship sunk in two fathoms, on a reef situated in lat. 8 deg. 61 min. 13 sec. N. ' • 112 deg. 37 min. 43 sec. E. ofGreenwich , by Captain Carlos Cuarteron, of the Spanish brig Martini's de 'lnn itin. The Captain, on discovering the wreck, examined her, and took from her a bill, chronometer, and a sextant, as well as the specie above-named, but, owing to the decayed state of the timber, having rotted, no clue to the owners could at present be found of the ship, and the boxes in which the specie was deposited The wreck is described to have been a ship of about 400 tons, oak built, and apparently English. At Bina° the general belief was that the wreck was the remains of the ship Chris tina, Captain Brownrigg, which left that port on July 8, 184 2 , for Bombay, and was wrecked near the above spot ; the Captain and a portion of the crew perished, while the mate and a boat's crew succeeded in reaching Manilla. The cap tain of the Spanish brig had deposited the whole amount in safe custody, to be delivered to such parties as could prove their right to it. RAILWAY COLLlSlON.—Yesterday morning, while the Ayr mineral train for Paisley was leaving oil' coal wag gons at the King-street depot, a goods train from Ayrshire came up ; the engine driver of which not paying attention to the regular signal given at. the station, his engine came in contact with the waggons in the rear of the coal train. The consequence was, that three of these waggons, as also the luggage train engine, received slight injury, but little or no interruption was experienced by the passenger trains.— .
