After the investigation was concluded, the Dublin Steam-packet Company kindly furnished me with a steamer to visit the scene of the accident, when I found the wreck of the unfortunate vessel lying in 12 or 13 fathoms water, with a portion of the broken mainmast a few feet above the water, about 150 yards from the point whereon the Bailey lighthouse is situated. " Having elicited the particulars attendi ng th e l oss o f th e vessel, and carefully considered the evidence, I have now the honour to report, for your lordships' inform a ti on , th a t the steam-ship Queen Victoria, belonging to the City of Dublin Steam-packet Company, of 337 tons register, and propelled by engines of 250 horse-power, left Liverpool for Dublin on the afternoon of the 14th of February, at about 3 o'clock, and passed the N.W. Light-ship at 23 minutes past 4, with the wind moderate from the N.E., and the weather fine, but cloudy. The crew consisted of 24 per sons, including the master and three mates, and there appears to have been 12 cabin and 75 deck passengers, be sides the stewardess, making a total of 112 persons. The ship was properly equipped, and, in addition to what is re quired by the Steam Navigation Act, she had an extra life boat and 90 cork jackets placed in boxes on the quarter deck under the seats. The officers had the character of being careful and experienced men. The master had been 25 years in the service of the company; Mr. Davis, the mate, 28 years in the same employ, 13 of which he had filled the situation as first mate. It appears by the evidence of Davis that the two quarter-boats would each contain 20 persons, and the two life-boats would hold double that number, but unfortunately these boats, instead of being suspended over the side, were placed upon chocks on board, and it was ne cessary to raise them about three feet, and reverse the davits, before they could be lowered into the water—an operation easily performed by a practised and well-discip lined crew, but a work of time in a vessel with a large num ber of passengers in a state of confusion. The instructions issued by the company to their officers direct the com manders not to go at full speed in thick or foggy weather. I regret those orders were not attended to. After leaving the N.W. Light-ship, the Victoria shaped a proper course, and at 8.30 sighted the Skerries-light, the weather still continuing moderate. At 50 minutes past midnight the Bailey-light was seen right ahead, or a very little on the starboard bow, and about two o'clock a.m. the lights on the Kish were also observed. About this time a snow shower came on, which obscured everything, and in less than half an hour the vessel ran with the speed of eight or nine knots upon the rocks. The engines were reversed, and in a few minutes she sunk in deep water. " In accordance with my instructions, it now becomes my duty to refer to the evidence, and to submit to your Lordships' attention the conduct of those in charge of the vessel. "As regards Captain Church, the master of the Queen Victoria, whose character up to the time of the loss of the vessel appears to have been praiseworthy, and whose expe rience from having been so many years in the service of the steam-packet-company must have been considerable, I re gret that it is my painful duty to condemn his conduct most strongly. Having been called at 50 minutes past midnight, and told that the Bailey-light was in sight, and having been again told at ten minutes before two o'clock that the weather was so thick from a snow shower as to obscure the lights, and to prevent objects from being seen the length of the vessel, instead of giving orders to slow the engines, or going immediately upon the de c k, h e sa id to the mate , ' There is no fear of the land, the danger is from meeting vessels.' About two o'clock he appears to have gone on deck ; but the evidence upon this point is conflicting. Whether he did so or not, it is proved tha t the ship was then going at a speed of eight or nine knots an hour, that the Kish-lights had been seen a few minutes before, bearing a point or two abaft the beam, which with the Bailey-light W.N.W., would place the vessel within three miles of the shore, and the course steered was directly for it. Captain Church was not heard to give any orders. He had lead and log lines on board, but he neither sounded nor ascertained how fast she was going, nor did he slacken speed, or adopt any precaution to pre vent the fearful accident which took place. After the vessel struck, his presence of mind seems entirely to have deserted him: He ordered her to be backed from the rocks : but it was soon found she ,vas sinking. The snow shower had passed over; the morning was fine, and the water smooth ; the boats might easily have been pre pared, and the lives of the people saved; but no directions were given. One quarter-boat succeeded in getting away with 17 passengers, and reached the shore in safety, not a sailor belonging to the steamer being in her. The other quarter-boat was improperly lowered, and the people in her precipitated into the sea, and drowned. The two life boats, which ought to have saved the lives of so many, ap pear to have gone down with the vessel. The result is, that thus the lives of 59 persons, including the unfortunate master, have been sacrificed for want of proper care and attention. If, when the thick weather came on, the di rection of the steamer's head had been altered, and the engines slowed, the disaster would, in my opinion, not have taken place. " The conduct of Thomas Davis, the mate, was greatly to blame. He acted in obedience to his orders in calling the master when the Bailey-light was first seen ; also when. the change took place in the weather. He states that he ordered four bells to be struck (2 o'clock), and told the men to ' keep a good look out,' for that the captain was not upon deck ; but that he had seen the Kish-light a point or two abaft the beam, and ought to have known he was close to the land, and he should then ,have stopped the engines, and have informed the master, and I consider him very cul pable in not having done so. In his evidence he states that after she struck, he appointed persons by name to prepare the boats; but none of the witnesses heard these orders given to any individual in particular, and they do not ap pear to have been acted upon. Mr. Davis considers be would have been guilty of a breach of discipline in stopping the. vessel without the orders of the captain, and he ap pears to have been vigilant in watching the men on the look out from the time of his coming on deck and after the accident he made signals of distress, by which the position of the wreck was denoted to the steamer Roscommoit on her way from Dublin to Liverpool, and the lives of several persons saved in consequence. " I now beg •to refer your lordships to the evidence of Mr. Vereker, ballast-master, and for many years secretary to the Ballast Board of-Dublin, from which it appears that, in consequence of a steamer called the Prince, be longing to the same company, having struck her bowsprit against the rocks under the Hill of Howthin 1846, a cor respondence took place between Mr. Howell, the secretary, and the corporation, the former suggesting, and the latter admitting the necessity of having a fog-bell on the Bailey lighthouse, and that a resolution to have one there was passed at a board meeting, and was entered in the minute book ; that a bell was procured from London and forwarded to Dublin, but that it had not been put up, in conse quence, as he stated, of matters of more importance in ducing the inspector to postpone its erection ; but, he added, it is now the intention of the eerporation to have it put up with as little delay as possible. Your lordships w ill, however, perceive that upwards of six years have elapsed since the Ballast Board admitted the necessity of having a bell on the Bailey, and up to the present time it has not been put np ; and Lieutenant Sarsfield, R.N., Mr. H owe ll, the secretary of the s t eam - pac k et companye -an d Ho. Davis, the mate, are all of opinion (with which I con cur), that had there been -bell to have given an alarm, that vesse l would.. not have eea lost, and it is to be hoped that no time, will be lost in placing one in that situation. Having attended. the coroner's inquest, I cannot refrain froM remarking on a porti on o f the evidence, by which it appears that four hours before the Victoria struck there was no person on watch in the lighth ouse the p erson i n charge awoke by hearingthe cries of th e thatone of the r te hiPl " ecked par ties on the rocks—and _ and 80, I e p ees, from in. firmity of age, being between 70 could scarcely be expected efficiently to perform the duties of his stat'e n. to bring to of Pat 'cD " It now becomes my pleasing dutylethe no tice of your lordships the conduct ", the young seaman who,by his presence of mind, putting is boat, and by finger in the plug-hole of the and unremitting in company exertions, prevented her from sinking, Segg), succeeded with the two other passengers (Ralph an in landing 14 persons, and, on going a second time to th e wreck, in saving four others who had taken refuge in the rigging of the vessel when she went down. "To conclude, the result of my investigation is as fol lows : "1. The Victoria was lost through the negligence of the . ng master in not sounding, stopping the engines, taking proper ta proper precautions when the shower came on. "2. The conduct of the mate was to blame. He sup posed the master was below, and ought to have known that the danger was imminent, and should have stopped the speed of vessel. "3. The steamer was well found in all respects, with the exception that the boats were not so placed as to be ready for immediate use. "4. Had there been a fog-bell on the Bailey-light it is probable the accident might have been prevented. " 5. That the lighthouse 'was not properly attended to. " The question of the fog-bell and the condition of the lighthouse and its establishment are for your Lordship's consideration. With regard to the boats, I deem it my duty to state my opinion, founded on the present and former cases of accident, and to suggest that it would he very desirable if in all cases the boats of steamers were 30 placed as . to be immediately ready for use, and if the officere in charge were instructed to station portions of the crew io the boats, amt hold them responsible for their use and efficiency when requir e d. " I have, &c. THE IittEDER AT ASH FLATS. After three days' protracted sitting, the trial of the perpetrators of this barbarous deed was brought to a close late last evening. The prisoners were Henry Blackburn, Charles Moore, and Edward Walsh, who were severally charged with the wilful murder of John and Jane Blackburn, on the morning of the 25th of October, at Ash Flats, near this town. Peter Kerwan was also arraigned upon the coroner's inquisition, the grand jury having ignored the bill, bat no evidenCe was offered against him, and he was subsequently discharged. The coroner's jury had in their verdict exculpated Blackburn, who was a son of the deceased, from any participation in the crime, but the magistrates haying committed him and the grand inquisition having found a bill against Min, he was accordingly put on his trial. The hearing of the evidence lasted two days, nearly fifty witnesses being examined. The following, how ever, will be found to contain the main facts which were adduced. The deceased, John Blackburn, who was 78 years of age, was formerly a =later, had retired from business, and, with his wife, aged 73, lived in a place called Ash Flats, about two miles and a half from Stafford. Al though possessed of some property, having 60 or 70 acres of freehold land, their cottage was but very meanly and dirtily furnished. They kept no servant, and lived by themselves, sleeping in different apartments. They were miserly in their habits, and old Blackburn was known to have considerable sums of money in his place at times. They had a large family grown up, some being married. The last time the old couple were seen alive was on the evening of Sunday, the 24th of October, when they were observed to be in good health. On the following morning, about half-past seven, a gentleman named Spilsby was going by the cottage, when he per ceived smoke issuing from the roof. He obtained assis tance, and the door was broken open by a crowbar, which happened to be on the spot. After some time the fire was subdued ; and on going up stairs to the old man's bedroom, a shocking spectacle presented itself. On the burnt bedstead were lying the bodies of the old couple ; they were charred considerably, and 'the fire had almost made them trunkless. The man was lying on his back on the top of the bed, and the woman across the bottom of the bed. A brief examination sufficed to show that the old people had died by violence, and not from fire, The head of the old man had been severely wounded in several places. There were two places near the eyes where the skull had actually been forced in ; there was a large wound on the right side of the forehead, and a severe wound on the top of the head. On the body of Mrs. Blackburn there was a severe wound on the right eye, and also on the' back of the head, and it was clear that something had been tied round the throat as if to cause strangulation. Her bed-room was but little disordered. A pool of blood was discovered at the bottom of the stairs leading to her door and blood on the wall of the staircase, and it would seem that the old lady was in bed at the time, and hearing a noise she came out and encountered the wretches, who afterwards took her body upstairs and threw it on the bed where it was, found. There was a strong smell of resin and pitch in the cottage, and the bodies appeared to have been be smeared with such inflammable matter, so as to hasten their destruction. Mr. Richards, the superintendent of the Salford (town) police, and other officers of the con stabulary; were quickly apprised of the tragedy, and on reaching the scene a careful examination of the place was made. A well outside the cottage was searched, and in it was found an axe, with blood and hair upon it, and a dog with his head smashed in. The animal be longed to the prisoner Blackburn, and he had taken it to his parents' abode about three weeks previous. A fiat iron besmeared with gore was also found in the heuse. The fact being clear that the place had been entered, that the deceased couple had been barbarously murdered, and that the guilty parties contemplated destroying all trace of the crime in the conflagration of the entire building, the police directed their attention to the per petrators. On the morning of the murder, some few hours after it had been discovered, the police were in duced to arrest Henry Blackburn, who himself had ex pressed some belief that Moore, who was in the service of the deceased, had some hand in the horrible deed. Some days transpired, and nothing satisfactory was elicited until the receipt of some anonymous letters by Mr. Richards, of the Stafford police, and Mr. Hatton, the chief of the county force. The letters described how the murders were committed, and who were the guilty parties. They were peculiarly worded, and evidently showed the writer to be a very illiterate person. At the examination 'of Blackburn, Moore was examined as a witness,' and on his signing, the deposition Mr. Richards was struck with the similarity of his writing to that of the letters. Moore had also made use of the words, "The man that helped Philip to mow the hay," which were in one of the communications, and this more than strengthened the belief of the officer that he was the party who wrote them. Mr. Hatton, the chief of the constabulary was consulted, and Moore having been spoken to respecting some material difference he had made in his evidence, he desired to make a more length ened statement in writing, and, in doing so, sufficient was traced to warrant his arrest, when he admitted writing two of them. His place was searched, and a child's rattle was found, the end of which had been used in sealing and stamping the letters. Moore then made some other statements, in which he observed that he had been engaged by one Podraore to write them. The truth is, I put my arm through a broken pane in the window next to the door, and unfastened the catch. Walsh was put through the window, when he opened the back door, and let Peter Kerwan in. I went to the end of the house next the road to watch, and on looking Jj thrpugh the window I saw Peter Kerwan, with a, candle in one hand, knock down the old woman with his other hand at the bottom of the stairs. I did not see whether he had anything in his hand or not. I afterwards saw Kerwan and Walsh go through - the orchard, and through the field at the end of the orchard, and returned to Stafford and Went to bed. 'Other circumstances then arose which led to the apprehension of Walsh, whose daughter cohabited with Moore ; he made a statement showing a knowledge of what was going to be done at the Ash flats. He stated that Moore had told him— " If you will 'come with me to-night, we shall get what will put as over the water comfortably. The place I mean is the Blackburn ; they are a very old couple, and have no servants, either boy or girl, in the house • their son Henry left for Wolverhampton on Saturday, and will not be back until 'Monday, and shall be certain to get from eight - to ten sovereigns, the price of the cart they are about to hay ; a't all events, we shall get some money, and if all fails we shall be sure to get a bit of bacon." Walsh also mentioned that Moore stated, " This will stop them from telling tales," and he held up a knife in his hand to which he had put a new handle, which was made of a portion of the handle of a hatchet. On Walsh's left hend was noticed the marks of a burn ing, and on his trousers were traded the stains of blood. It also appeared that Moore wore a kind of red plush waistcoat, the materials of which corresponded with a piece of stuff found on the broken window of the de ceased's cottage. Other statements which Moore had given of the transaction were then detailed by several witnesses, and they all set forth different stories. Walsh was missed from his abode early on the morning of the murder, and Moore and he were found to be in sudden possession of money. As regards the case against Henry Blackburn, it would appear that it mainly rested upon some remarks which had fallen from him previous to the murders, that he would come into possession of some property on his father's death, and that he was picked out of a batch of prisoners as having bought several pounds of resin at a shop in Wolverhampton on the Friday previous to the perpetration of the atrocious crime. ' Moore had endeavoured to fix him in his state ments but there was nothing like consistency in his representations. Mr. William Webb, the surgeon of Hatton InfirMary, detaikd at some length the injuries inflicted upon the deceased couple. There were three wounds on the head of John Blackburn—one between the eyes, another on the right side of the forehead, and a third on the head. The bones were driven in. The axe produced would inflict such wounds. The axe had'hair upon - it corresponding with .the hair on the man's forehead. The blows were decidedly inflicted be fore death. The deceased man must have been in a recum bent position when the blows wet-6'6track. The body of the woman was much more burntthan that of the man. The scalp was Completely carbonised. There was a frac ture 'of the right eye extending backwards, and there was another fracture at the back of the head. Believed she was in an upright or semi-recumbent position when she received the blow. The case for the prosecution having closed, Mr. Serjeant Allen addressed the jury at great length for the prisoner Henry Blackburn. Mr. Serjeant Thomas and Mr. C. Evans followed for Moore and Walsh. Mr. Justice Talfourd then summed up, and having pointed out the 'evidence as it affected' the different pri soners, left the jury to determine their guilt. The jury then deliberated, and found the prisoners Charles Moore and Edward Walsh guilty, and Henry Blackburn not guilty. His lordship then assumed the black cap, and in a. most impressive address, pointing out the enormity of the crime which the' *retched men had committed, passed sentence of death upon them; holding out not the slightest hope of mercy.' • The two miserable convicts were then led away. In the course of the evening it was stated that after 'they had returned to the gaol they made a confession of their guilt. A woman, aged 24 years, from Neptune-Court, St. George-in-the East, typhus (about 17 days). In hospi tal 9 days.

In closing our notice of the trial, it is only fair to re mark that the conviction of the culprits, Moore and Walsh, was in a great measure to be attributed to the zeal and activity of Mr. Richards, the chief of the Staf ford police, who was the first to detect the fact of Moore writing the anonyincius letters, and who arrested both prisoners. .SH.

At this day's market there was a moderately good attendance of town and country trade, and a lair amount of business was done in wheat, chiefly .3 f the finer descriptions, at the prices of Friday, being about id per 701 b. over those of this day week. American flour met with a moderate retail sale at late rates, but EU ‘ck flour was neglected, and rather easier to buy. Oats were without alteration either in value or demand, but oat meal was in request, and 3d to 6d per load dearer. Bar :ley and peas maintained their value in the few sales made ; but Egyptian beans were is per quarter lower. Indian corn on the spot was unaltered in value, but cargoes afloat and arrived off the coast were the turn in favour of the seller. Floating cargoes of wheat arrived off the cotist were also dearer. IPSWICH —Men= 22. The wheat trade evinced a firmness again to-day; sales were made on terms fully equal to last wee', with a ten dency upwards rather ; the supply was not large. A few samples of malting barley appeared ; these we Int about, the maltsters showing no great disposition to pm rchase. The select qualities did bring 36s per qr., but ge enerally a do cline of is per qr. must be written. We noticed some few samples of beans on sale at 358 per qr. £55.

The arrivals of grain continue on a small scale, and the trade remains very quiet, though a somewhat better feeling begins to be perceptible. At to-day's market, we were well supplied with wheat by our farmers, which met a fair sale at the rates of last week. Foreign wheat without change, there being hardly any transactions to report. In spring corn of all kinds there is very little passing, and we note no change in prices. The arrivals of linseed are considerable, and, though, mostly for crushers' account, depress the market, and cause somewhat lower prices to be submitted to. Linseed cakes continue rather to press on the market, the demand being unaccountably limited. Rapeseed unaltered. Rape cakes rather more enquired for, but not much business resulting.
