After a few words from Mr. AGLIONBY and Mr. ELLIOTT, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he could not give his assent to the second reading of this bill. He would not enter into the case referred to by the hon. member for Finsbury. The legislation in that house ought not to be regulated by any single case which might be ad duced. If the power of appeal were granted, it would entail additional expense on the informer. Sir DE LACY EVANS quite agreed with the opinion of the Attorney-General. He should oppose the second reading of the bill. After a few words from Mr. DUNCOMBE, the house divided, when the numbers were— For the second reading l7 Against it 9l Majority The bill was thus lost. PUBLIC-HOUSES (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the motion of Mr. FORBES MACKENZIE this bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on the 20th of April. COURTS OF COMMON LAW (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL this bill was postponed in consequence of the absence of the Attorney-General for Ireland until next Wednesday. LAND IMPROVEMENT (IRELAND) BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill, and all the clauses were agreed to. The house then resumed, and the bill was ordered to be reported on Friday next. DERBY ELECTION COMMirriLEE. Mr. lii GRAM brought np the report of this com mittee, which was to the effect, that the committee, having deliberated, came to a resolution declaring Mr. tforsfall not duly elected, and giving his seat to Mr. neyworth, who was duly elected, and ought to have been returned as a member at the last election. They Also struck off the poll the names of thirteen voters, all of whom they found to have been bribed by the pay ment of 2/. The committee were df opinion that this bribery had been carried on without the know ledge of Mr. Horsfall. They also proved that bribery had been prevalent at several elections in Derby, and recommended that the parties proved to have been bribed before this committee should be disqualified from the ex ercise of the franchise. On the motion of the hon. mem ber the evidence was ordered to be laid before the house. CATHEDRAL APPOINTMENTS BILL. This bill was considered as amended, and ordered to be read a third time. INDEMNITY BILL. This bill then passed through committee, and on the house resuming, was ordered to be read a third time to- morrow. GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH, Sir G. B. PECHELL called the attention of the house to the operation of the Public Health Act, 1848, and to the system of legislating by means of pro visional orders issued by the General Board of Health to the several cities, towns, and dis tricts. The hon. member complained loudly of I I the proceedings of the General Board of Health, in reference to local boards, and contended that there was no necessity for continuing the general board. The general board did nothing but obstruct the operations of local boards, or perform some trifling act for the sake of keeping up their salaries, and the sooner it was abolished or rendered more useful and effective the better. The board acted, by way of provisional orders, in dealing with towns or cities, under local authorities, but it was always impossible to ascertain what was meant or what was required by a "provisional order." He had ascer tained, by returns made .up to June last, the Board of Health Act of 1848 had been applied by provisional orders to 71 towns—to 66 by order in Council, while 23 were under consideration for a provisional order, and 6 for an order in Council. To twelve towns, which included Birmingham, Whitehaven, and Cambridge, the General Board of Health reported it was not expedient to apply the act. Portsmouth, Bromyard, Worcester, ' and Swaffham had been the loudest in their complaints against the conduct and proceedings of the General Board of Health. The board had attempted to apply the act to Bromyard, because their officer had reported that while he was there on a mission of inquiry, three persons died, but so far from that being proof of the unhealthy' state of the town, it appeared that each of those persons who had so died was 83 years of age. (A laugh.) All these towns had petitioned against the conduct of the General Beard, and he really did think their case was well worthy the attention of the house. He therefore called uon the Government t o i ns tit u t e an inquiry into then matter, and, to facilitate that inquiry, he would move for the following returns, viz.:— Returns of all places which have petitioned the General Board of Health for the application of the Public Health Act, 1848, with the dates when such petitions were re ceived, distinguishing the towns where provisional orders have been confirmed, and whgre orders in Council have been issued, with the dates of such provisional orders and orders in Council, stating whether an original or an amended order, with the dates of any such amended orders that have been issued to such towns ; of the towns that have been struck out of the schedules of the . several confirmatory bills in Parliament, with the dates when they were so struck out, distinguishing those towns whose provisional orders have subsequently been confirmed by Parliament ; of the names of any places to which inquiries have been directed with the view to the application of the Public Health Act, with out any local application for the same ; of the places which have sent memorials to the General Board complaining of the manner in which the Public Health Act has operated, or of the manner in which it is proposedlby the General Board to apply the same to their town ; with the number of petitions for the amendment of the said act which have been presented- to this house ; and, account of the ex penses of applying the Public Health Act by provisional order, and order in Council, with the total amount expended in the application of the said act, distinguish ing the expenses of each preliminary inquiry, and of the printing and publication of the several reports and state ments sanctioned by the board in relation thereto. , Mr. LASLETT seconded the motion, and, as mem ber for Worcester, he could state that it was the opinion of the inhabitants of that city that the Board of Health Act had been introduced into their town under false pretences. The inhabitants of Worcester were opposed to act under the General Board of Health, and unless the house instituted an inquiry into the case, the Board of Health A ct would remain a dead letter so far as Wor cester was concerned. Sir W. MOLESWORTH did not rise to defend all the acts of the General Board of Health, though he thought the operation of the Health of Towns' Act had conferred great benefit upon the public. That act was passed for the purpose of placing the water supply and sewerage of large towns under efficient local management ; and he believed the General Board of Health, in carrying out the provisions of the act, had acted in the capacity of a select committee on a private bill. Before the act passed, the water sup ply or sewerage of large towns could not be improved without the authority of a local act. Now, a local act cost, on the average, 2,4001., while a provisional order under this act only cost 1021. ; but to bring this motion to an end, he would readily admit that there were great defects in the details of the existing law, and the whole matter, but more especially the case of Wor cester, was under the anxious consideration of the Go vernment, with the view of devising some plan for re moving those evils and defects complained of. Lord SEYMOUR was glad to hear the last observa tion of the right hon. baronet. There was no doubt that the law was grossly defective, and required imme diate amendment. After a few words from Mr. EVELYN, Mr. HENLEY understood that it was intended to revise the constitution of the Board of Health ; he thought that was a most desirable object to obtain, and the sooner an attempt was made to accomplish it the better. . Mr "WHALLEY complained of the mode in which the p r i vate business of the expen ses of those house was carried on. The e proceedings were excessive; and the machi nery grossly the evils at the fg. defecti ve , an d th a t was th e roo t o f a ll BR OTHE ?Lof le g i s l a ti on i n l oca l ma tt ers . it was laugh )resumptive "'l:ON denied this a ss e rtion, and said it. (A la in a y oung mem b er t o ma k e Mr. HUME, as an old member, could confirm what bad been stated. The i proceedings on pri va t e bill s were ghly defective, and calleloudly f or amen d men t. (Hear, hear.) The motion was then a greed to. SOUTHAMPTON ELECTION. The report of the Southampton Election Committee having been read, Mr. H. HERBERT, the Chairman, stated that the committee had committed a witness named B ower f . refusing to make the decl aration of a Separatist p - r o e r a mate.s- scribed by act of Parliamen t. The witness was a rial one for the inquiry, an d as he refused to makea o oath, or the declaration of a Separatist, there was no alternative but to hand him over to the custody of the Sergeant. He had now to move that the Speaker d o issue his warrant to keep him in custody, and do direct the Sergeant to bring the man before the committee from time to time, as they might require. After a few words from Mr. HUME, who thought the legislation of the house upon the taking of an oath was wrong, the motion was agreed to. NORWICH AND CHATHAM ELECTIONS. Mr. MACKENZIE moved that Sir Wm. Jolliffe be added to the select committee on Norwich petitions. Mr. A. STAFFORD took the opportunity of request ing the house to suspend its judgment on the Chatham case. He gave an unqualified contradiction to the charge made against the late Board of Admiralty in con nection with the Chatham petition. CRIME IN IREL . Mr. movIYI'MAHONed for a AND return of the number of ga ma e s in w hi c h b ills for murder or manslaughter a police, yeomen, or military, have been pre sente.,d to grand juries in Ireland since the year 1820, Specifying in each case, whether the bill was found true or ignored tood also specifying the locality in which the loss of life k place, and the number of persons killed ; and also whether the parties against whom bills save been found have been convicted or acquitted by the petty jury. Agreed to. BLACKBURN ELECTION. Mr. WILSON PATTEN moved that the report, to gether with the proceedings and evidence on the Black burn Election Committee, be printed. . Agreed to. METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS (REPAY MENT OUT OF CONSOLIDATED FUND) BILL. On the question that this bill be committed, Sir W. JOLLIFFE said there were grave objections to the principle of the bill. It proposed to capitalise the interest of the London Bridge Approaches Fund, but he could not consent to that until he had been satisfied that there had been no misappropriation of that fund. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, when they got into committee, which would be the proper place to make it in, he should be prepared to de liver a statement of the objects and principle of the bill. Mr. HUME objected to place a tax of 296,0001. upon the Consolidated Fund, and suggested that the bill should be referred to a committee up-stairs. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the bill would not in any way affect the taxation of the metropolis or the coal tax ; but its simple object was to decide the department that should have the management of the fund. The public was paying 1501. a-day as long as this bill was delayed from being passed. The case stood thus :—A sum of 895,0001. had been borrowed for the improvements of the city of London, and upon that sum 134,000/. of interest had been paid. Now this bill was to enable the Government to save to the public the payment of that interest, by paying off the original debt out of the balances which stood to the credit of the improvements which have been carried out in the city, and were now in the national ex chequer. The absolute liability at present was 895,0001. for principal, and 134,0001. for interest ; but the Westminster and Southwark improvements which had been carried out by loans were likely to get into the same favourable position as the City improve ments, and it was therefore proposed to take the maximum charge upon the Consolidated Fund at 1,216,0001. The assets which would be derived from the revenues of the London-bridge approaches fund would yield about 1,240,0001., and by making the arrangement which the bill proposed, would save the public 1501. a-day. Six o'clock arrived before the discussion closed, and the Speaker, therefore, declared the house to be ad journed. ELECTION COMMITTEES.-(THIS DA r. ) SOUTHAMPTON. The committee resumed its sittings at 11 o'clock this morning ; Mr. Sidney Herbert in the chair. At the kitting of the committee a witness of the name of Bower, who refused to take the usual oath yesterday, was brought in, and being asked by the Chairman if he still persisted in his refusal to take the oath, Mr. Bower said he had conscientious scruples, founded on the New Testament, against taking any oath what ever. The Chairman said that in that case all the committee had to do was to report the fact to the house, and it would be for the house to deal with the matter as it thought fit. The witness having refused to take any oath whatever, although he was neither a Quaker, Moravian, nor Sepa ratist, he was commited to the custody of the Seljeant at-Arms until the pleasure of the house should be known. The committee then adjourned for the purpose of re porting the refusal of the witness to the house. On the committee re-assembling, Several witnesses were called and examined, the sub stance of whose evidence was that Mr. Andrews, the Mayor of Southampton, at the time of the election of 1852, had been seen conversing with voters, attending public meetings, and in the case of a voter of the name of Oakley, that he had said to him that if he voted for the Liberals it would be all right. - The committee adjourned shortly before 4 o'clock. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 9, 1853. STATE OF TRADE. ( From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, March B.—At the latter end of last week, and also yesterday, there was a tendency in our market to become steadier, to stop, apparently, in that declining course which has been gradually in progress for some time. This arose from the remarkable firmness exhibited by cotton above "middling," under the pres sure of increasing receipts at the American ports. The steamer which arrived this morning, however, has sur prised our Exchange by the extent of the receipts reported in the last week, which have swollen the excess, as com pared with the same time last year, to the enormous amount of 540,000 bales. As this excess points to a yield of something like 3,500,000 bales, its effect on our market is to cause buyers again to hold back their orders, or to offer reduced prices where they bid at all ; and, taking the medium and lower counts of water and mule yarns, they are to be had on rather lower terms than were prac ticable this day week. Twist and weft cops, such as are used at Blackburn in the manufacture of jacconets, skirtings, and printing cloths, are more affected than other kinds, having lost Id. to Ad. per lb. Warps and pincops for domestics, being already much cheaper, have not suffered in the same degree ; nor have reeled yarns, with certain limited exceptions. The finer spinmngs from Sea Islands are still hardening. In domestics there is no alteration,,but other cloths are slightly in favour of buyers. In both yarns and goods the day's transac tions hare been altogether inconsiderable. ROCHDALE, March 7.—We have had a good average piece market to-day, and a rather numerous attendance of buyers; but the manufacturers have yet reason to complain at the low prices they obtain for their goods to meet the advance of the raw material. There has been •more inquiry for wool, and prices are slowly on the advance. MACCLESFIELD, March 3.—Since our last report there has been a fair inquiry for those descriptions of silk manufactured goods which are suitable for the spring trade, and prices are a little better. Thrown Silks.—There is no alteration ; the market is still very bare of stock. The advices from Lyons report a large demand for throwns, with prices still advancing. Raw Silk.—The operations in Chinas are to a mode rate extent, and prices are firmer—the last advices from Shanghae reporting an advance in price, with the ex change also higher. Bengal Silk.—Without alteratioh. HUDDERSFIELD, March B.—The demand for wool lens still continues brisk. More business has been done in the warehouses, both during the week and to-day. Light qualities of woollens of new patterns, also fancies, are principally in request. The greater portion of the manufacturers are extremely busy, and will not take an order to complete under three or four months. In wools a good trade has been done, mostly at a little advance in price. We have had some very heavy lots down from the recent London sales. HALIFAX, March s.—No improvement can be re ported of the trade in our piece hall. The advancing prices of the raw material compel the manufacturers to ask higher rates, which the merchants are unwilling to give ; and, consequen%ly, but few goods change hands. The spinners are asking more for yarn, and the demand is checked by the required advance. Wools continue to look up, and some sorts are becoming very scarce. THE MIDDLESEX CONSTITUENCY.— According to the report just issued by the Middlesex Reform Registration Office, it appears that the Liberal party have gained largely upon the late revision, independently of still re taining a majority of tried supporters of their present representatives. The number of electors on the register of electors for 1853, is 14,836 ; the number of electors on the register of electors for 1852, was 14,610. Increase in the total number of electors, 226. The total number of changes in the register is 3,378, being 1,576 names expunged, and 1,802 new names inserted. These facts, says the report, showing a total change of 3,378 electors in less than six months, most forcibly exhibit the neces sity of a close attention to the register, and the future support this office should receive from , all friends to liberal and progressive reform. CITY COMMISSIONERS OF AEWERS.—Yesterday the commissioners assembled in the Guildhall—Mr. Deputy Peacock in the chair. The court proceeded to consider the claim of the medical officer of health of the city of London to an increase of salary, on account of his valua ble services. After some discussion, the salary of the medical officer of health was raised from 5001. to 8001. a year. The court then adjourned. NEW CHUECHES.—A Parliamentary paper just issued contains the following statement of the expenditure and receipts of the commissioners for building new churches since the year 1840, in continuation of a Parliamentary paper of that year. The receipts during that period have been 1,050,145/. Bs. sd. derived from the follow ing sources :—The balance of receipts and expenditure contained in the above return, 100,990/. 7s. 7d. ; sub scriptions from voluntary contributions, local rate, loans, &c., 871,5021. 3s. 11d. ; interest and profit in the building account from the sale and exchange of Ex chequer-bills, and upon loans due since the above men tioned period, 3,8761. lls.; drawback of duty allowed on materials used in churches built by the board, 4,7661. 12s. 9d. ; amount of interest and profit on the drawback account arising on Exchequer-bills sold and exchanged, 25,6081. 78. sd. ; received by the board in further part payment of sums advanced on loans on church rates, 41,311/. ss. 9d. ; legacies left to the board, 2,0901.

THE ARMY. The Lady Clarke, freight-ship, 530 tons, having on board the third and last divisions of the service compa nies of the 57th Regiment, sailed from Cork Harbour on the 2d inst. for Corfu. The following are the num bers embarked in this vessel, and the names of the offi cers :—Numbers embarked-1 field officer, 1 captain, 4 subalterns, 1 staff, and 207 serjeants, drummers, and rank and file ; with 14 women and 32 children. Names of the officers :—Major (Brevet Lieut.-Colonel) T. S. Powell, Captain W. Inglis ; Lieutenants G. B. V. Ar buckle, G. H. Norman, and J. M. Earle ; Ensign R. A. K. Hugefren, and Staff-Assistant Surgeon S. Gibson, M.B. ; Captains H. J. Warre and F. G. Steward are employed upon the staff, the former as major of brigade at York, and the latter as aide-de-camp to Colonel T. G. Brown, C. 8., Governor of St. Helena. Lieut. F. P. Lea has received leave of absence, at the expiration of which he is to join the service companies at Corfu. The follow ing officers are attached to the depot companies of the 57th Regiment, the head-quarters of which are sta tioned at Cork, with detachments at Haulbowline and Ballincollig :—Major T. Shadforth, commanding ; Cap tains R. A. G. Logan, C. E. Law, and James Stewart ; Lieutenants L. Cassidy (acting paymaster), J. Hassard (acting adjutant), W. E. Brown, and A. L. Copland ; Ensigns J. H. Buller, W. W. Lee, E. C. Johnson, J. C. Ingham, and Assistant-Surgeon T. C. Brady. Captain W. F. Jones, promoted on the 15th ultimo, embarked as lieutenant, with the first division, on board the freight-ship Anne Maria. Captain Law and Ensign Johnson are on detachment at Haulbowline, and Lieutenant Brown at Ballincollig. Colour Serjeant G. Waugh has been appointed acting serjeant-major, and Colour Serjeant W. Abbott, acting quartermaster ser jeant to the depot companies of this regiment. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. It is reported that the Mediterranean force, under Vice-Admiral Deans Dundas, is to be increased, and that the Channel force is to be at once formed into active service divisions. Admiral Dundas's fleet is in the most excellent order. Both ships and men have now a little rest after ten months' cruise at sea. It is expected, how ever, that they will be on the move again by the end of this month. We learn from Malta that the damage done to the Sampson, steam-frigate, by the collision between her and the .Axethusa, 50, has been greatly exaggerated. The damaged vessel is by this time nearly ready for sea again. The weather had been bad in the Mediterranean, and the shipwrights at Malta were working hard to re pair the disasters. Captain Robert Streatfield (1851), on the retired list of 1851, died a few days since, aged 68. He was in the expedition to Copenhagen in 1808, and served continu ously for 14 years during the war. Mr. J. M'Swiney (1847), of the Calypso, 18, in the West Indies, promoted to the death vacancy in that ship, has been confirmed in his advancement. Mr. William Lang has been appointed master's aseia taut of the Imperieuse, 51, screw, Chatham. The officers of the dockyards are reporting against the present system of performing the repairs and new works by contract, and recommending that they shall be done by hired men. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 8. The Agamemnon, 91, screw, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland.—lt becomes almost a melancholy duty to notice the daily cases manifesting themselves on board this unfortunate vessel. We are at a loss to understand the policy of fumigating the Agamemnon whilst her re ceiving hulk (Camperdown) is lashed alongside, and a gangway communication permitted between the ships. One thing is pretty certain, that there is every chance for this epidemic to go through the whole crew, officers and all P • neither is it any joke for the country to be paying 600 or 700 men who are cooped up in this help less and miserable manner, when they might have been removed to a distance from the affected, and escaped this lingering and unfortunate sickness.r—Herald. The Drake, lighter, sailed this morning to the east ward with stores for this dockyard. The Elfin, Royal yacht steam-tender to the Victoria and Albert, Master Commander Alfred Balliston, went out of harbour this morning to Southampton, and re turned in the afternoon. The Conflict, 8, screw, is getting fast ready for ser vice ; her topmasts are on end, and hands aloft com pleting her rigging. The Duke of Wellington, 131, screw, Captain Henry Byam Martin, is progressing in the most satisfactory manner in every department. It is with much pleasure we witness the energy and zeal displayed to get this noble ship out of the hands of the dockyard officers. PLYMOUTH, MARCH 7. Her Majesty's frigate Leander, 50, Captain George St. "V. King, which left Portsmouth on the 12th of February for a cruise off the Western Islands, rounded Terceira on the 22d of February, and arrived off Cork on the 6th of March. She left that port at mid-day on Saturday, and arrived here at half past seven o'clock last evening. The Leander hove to off Cork, and received orders from Admiral Purvis in person to proceed at once for this port, in conse quence of the prevalence of typhus fever and small pox on board the ships there. The crew ,of the Leander are all well. She had fine weather, with the wind from the eastward until the 26th of February, since which northerly winds have prevailed. Spoke, Feb. 16, in lat. 42 37 N., long. 13 8 W., the English ship Looshtach, for Coquimbo; 21st, 20 miles N.E. of St. Michael's, British schooner Dispatch, inquired the bearings of the island, and then bore up for it ; 25th, lat. 44 32 N., long. 26 53 W., Dutch ship Maria, 84 days from Bata via to Amsterdam, wished to be reported to Hermann Philips or Hermann Smith ; March 4, lat. 50 52, long. 11 22, 78 miles from Cape Clear, passed a large screw steamer, going west. The Arrogant, 47, screw steam-frigate, Captain S. G. Fremantle, which left Cork on Saturday previous to the Leander, is expected here in the course of the day. The Encounter, 14, screw steam-ship, Captain W. D. O'Callaghan, from Liverpool, will probably arrive here to-day._ The Magicienne, 15, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, Cap rain T. Fisher, went out of harbour on Saturday. The screw steam-ship Sanspareil, 81, Captain S. C. Dacres, with topgallant masts struck, steamed into har bour on Friday last, against a strong head wind. The Avon, 3, paddle-wheel steam-vessel, which sailed on Friday with supernumeraries for Portsmouth, had on board an eight-oared gig, 36ft. long, built by Mr. Waterman, of Anderton, in this port, for his Royal Highness Prince Albert. THE WEST INDIES. The Commander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir G. F. Seymour, K.C.8., in his flag-ship Cumberland, 70, Captain Seymour, with the Highflyer, 24 (screw), Captain Heathfield,. left Port Royal for Bermnda Feb. 3. The Dauntless, 33, screw, Captain Halsted, remained at Barbadoes, Feb. 13. The Calypso, IS, Captain Forbes, was at St. Kitt's. The Vestal, 26, Captain C. B. Hamilton, was at Ha• vannah Feb. 15. The Geyser, 6, paddle, Commander Wilson, left Port Royal Feb. 1, for Greytown. The Devastation, 6, paddle, Commander C. Y. Camp bell, left Port Royal Feb. 1, for Honduras. The Persian, 12, Commander Mitchell, left Port Royal for England, to be paid off, Feb. 1. The Daring, 12, Commander G. Napier, left Port Royal, on cruise, Jan. 29. The Alban, steam-tender, Lieut. Commander Mey nell, left Port Royal, for Falmouth, Feb. 7. PRIZE MONEY FOR THE GLADIATOR AND FLYING FISH. —Woodhead and Co. have given notice, that the account sales of the proceeds arising from the capture of the slave-vessel, name unknown, by her Majesty's ship Gladiator, Captain John Adams (her Majesty's ship Flying Fish, Commander G. E. Patey, in company), Jan. 18, 1851, will be registered in the High Court of Admiralty on and after the 15th inst. PRIZE MONEY FOR THE CLROPATRA.-11alford and Co. have given notice to the officers and crew of her Ma jesty's ship Cleopatra, Christr. Wyvell, Esq., captain, that an account of bounties received for the Pachetto de Monte Video, captured March 16, 1845, will be forth with deposited in the Registry of the High Court of Admiralty ; in consequence of an appeal in this case, the distribution has unavoidably been delayed. THII NAGLER PRUSSIAN MAIL STEAM-PACKET.—The Prussian Government and the authorities of the Post office department of that country having decided on ac celerating the postal communication through the Prus sian kingdom, an order was transmitted to this country for Mr. Elbertzhagen, the agent for the Prussian Go vernment in London, to contract for the building of a fast steamer, to be employed in conveying the mails from Stettin to Stockholm, a distance of about 440 miles. In compliance with his instructions, Mr. Elbertzhagen en tered into arrangements with Mr. Mare, of Orchard wharf, Blackwall, for the construction of an iron vessel of 600 tons, to be fitted with oscillating engines of 220 collective horse-power, by John Penn and Son, and the vessel, having been built and fitted with her engines, was tried down the river to ascertain her speed. he Nagler, the name given to the packet, in commemoration of the late Postmaster-General of Prussia, left Mr. Penn's wharf, Deptford, at half-past 10 o'clock a.m., and on arriving at the Lower Hope, in Sea Reach, below Gravesend, the time was taken, and she ran the measured mile in 3 minutes 35 seconds, or at the rate of 16.744 knots per hour, with the tide. On returning past the measured mile, against the tide, she accomplished the distance in 5 minutes 12 seconds, or at the rate of 11.538 knots per hour. On again running the measured mile with the tide, she made the distance in 3 minutes 28 seconds, or at the rate of 17.308 knot per hour ; and her last run against the tide occupied 5 minutes 19 seconds, or at the rate of 11.285 knots per hour, giving an average speed on the four runs, two down and two up, of 14.320 knots pir hour. Mr. Elbertzhagen, the agent, Captain Gra.e yen, whb superintended her construction, Mr. Water man, jun., who designed the vessel, Mr. Hartree, of the firm of John Penn and Son, the constructors of her engines, and Mr. F. P. Smith were on board during the trial, and all were much gratified with the result. The Nagler is a paddle-wheel steam-vessel, drawing 8 feet 6 inches of water, and her engines, with a stroke of 4 feet 6 inches, made 331 revolutions on the average of the four runs, the working pressure being 141 b. to the square inch. ----- MANNING THE NAvT. —The report on manning the navy has not yet been made public, but copies of the document were flitting about amongst the members of the Cabinet and the committee last week: The United Service Gazette says :—" The scope of the inquiry, as originally contemplated, has been wide enough. Ac cording to the statement of the noble duke, who lately presided at the Admiralty, it embraces the state of the seaman from the day he entered th e nav y as a boy until received into Greenwich Hospital." It is one of the great defects of modern inquiries, that in the labyrinth of investigation the practical object of inquiry is lost ; and so we fear with regard to the " manning the navy" question. A mass of details has been allowed to con fuse the notions of the committee, that the doubtful is only rendered more secure. The history of the state of the seaman from the day of his entering the navy as a boy to his reception as a veteran in Greenwich is a mere episode—interesting to magazine readers, but too romantic for any useful purposes of the pre sent day, and, moreover, it would be only a rechauffe of Marryat, Dane, and Co. All we want to hear of now is the present condition of the boy and the present condition of the A. 8., the position and . pay of the warrant-officers, 'and the hopes of the boys, men, and petty and warrant officers of the navy, of pay, pro motion, retirement, and pension for their widows. There is another important subject which materially affects the question of "manning the navy," and that is the subject of punishment, as well as reward, and the entire reforma tion of the naval code. This subject was very slightly touched upon in the House of Commons last week ; but the Admiralty may depend upon it that no scheme of manning the navy will have any good effect upon the seamen of the present day if it be not accompanied with some measure of revision of naval punishments. Seamen continue to " earn their money like horses ;" but they are grown too intelligent now to " spend it lik e as s es ;" and what is more, they begin to have h greater respect for themselves, their wives, families, and connections, to be subjected to be tied up, without open and fair inquiry, and flogged like poor "Uncle Tom" and the black slaves of Cuba, Brazil, or America.—Plymouth, Mail.

Under this head we find in a recent number of the New York Express the following remarks, in reference to the Falkland Islands, now attracting so much atten tion in this country, because of their exceeding eligibi lity for purpose's of transportation, when the dispatch of convicts to Australia shall cease. The importance of these islands to Great Britain, in a commercial sense, is strengthened from the fact of the rapidly increasing number of Australian vessels coming home by way of Cape Horn ; and, we believe, it is the intention of the proprietors of some of our great lines of steamers to establish a coal depot there, in which case there will necessarily be a vast augmentation to the advan tages already specified by. our American contempo rary, namely—" For the interest of American and other shipowners, whalers, and all other vessels, it cannot be too generally made known that the Falkland Islands, off the coast of South America, now afford an excellent station, with many good and safe harbours, at which vessels of every class may find supplies. Ships proceeding to or from the East Indies, China, or from the Pacific coast and Polynesia, round the Cape of Good Hbpe orCape Horn, will find, at the Falkland Islands, the means, in ordi nary cases of damage, of repair, supplies of provisions, &c., in short, all such stores as are required by merchant vessels. There, there are no port or Custom-house charge whereas, at all the South American continental ports, ether a in Brazil or on the River Plate, the charges are very high, delays and vexations frequent, and labour and articles required for repairs exorbitant. But the most serious objection to the Brazilian ports is the prevalence of a malignant yellow fever, particularly dangerous to the ships' companies, on board vessels in the harbours. From these reasons, as well as from the conveniences and facilities afforded by the authorities, and by the new settlements at these islands, the number of vessels touching there has been very much increased, and will, no doubt, continue to increase in every suc ceeding year."

I FOUR PERSONS KILLED Br THE EXPLOSION OF A LOOOMOTIVB BOILER. A frightful accident occurred on the premises of the London and North-Western Company at Longsight, near Manchester, on Tuesday morning, whereby four men lost their lives, and at least .a dozen men received serious injuries, seven being conveyed to the Manchester Royal Infirmary for medical aid there. It seems that the engine, No. 1, an old four-wheeled engine, made by Sharp, Roberts, and Co., some fourteen years ago, and one of the first put upon the line, if not the very first, finpphavingloldeytgaeonnndg o'clockui mns n he de aeaand rgn telaht o arhetgse eet Manchester t aou ca l‘nminntbesLongsight, drghoßetif thorough etmturween e r nyl e ,v p hat a roar half-past var o iously saahlsreytt was estimated ou in eightda Hudders field and t rn he as. ds from fifty to eighty, were in the Polygon, breakfasting, and the engine No. 1 was in steam, standing upon one of the long ash-pits, while Hefron, the driver, was oiling it, assisted by three or four men. This would be between ten minutes to nine and nine o'clock, and in a few minutes more the driver would have taken the engine forward upon the turn-table, in the centre of the building, in order that its head might have been reversed, as it stood towards Manchester in stead of towards Huddersfield, when suddenly the men inside were alarmed by a tremendous report and con cussion of air. The place was immediately filled with steam and smoke, and a portion of the building came rattling down, overwhelming a very large number of them. As soon as the smoke and steam had cleared away, the persons who found themselves uninjured, hastened into the place and found the tender standing where it had been before the occurrence, with the back wheels of the engine, and the plate °ye,- them, on which the driver stands, still adhering to the tender. The en gine itself was some thirty paces off, beneath the centre of the building, and it was from that the fire-box had exploded. On looki ng f or th e p ersons i n j ure d they dis covered four men dead in the ash-pit next to that upon which the engine had been standing ; and as there was a large piece of the le2t side of the fire-box, rnd a portion of the frame of the engine near them, it was clear that they had been killed by it. Their names were James Moore, James Snowden, William Black, all assistant boiler makers, and Thomas Gresty, a fitter. Gresty's skull had been struck about the centre of the forehead, and nearly carried away ; another man had both his legs broken, and the other two were dreadfully mangled. The explosion brought down about a third of the roof of the bui'ding, which is a lofty shed of many &des, as its rame.implies, covered by slates, with a wood casing internally. The following seven persons were got from be7eath the debris, and having bee - i placed in a waggo-', were taken down the line to the Manchester Royal Infirmary :—William Cowsell, of Manchester, laceration of the scalp and fractured knee, a bad case ; Ralph Brundrett Gordon Brook, lace ration of the thigh ; Edward Hefron, compound fracture of the thigh and scalds ; Oharles Clyde, fractured arm and leg ; Joseph Ainsworth, laceration of the scalp ; William Cheetham, of Longsight, severe lacerations ; Robert Tabley, severe scalds. Numerous others were injured, but they were taken to their own homes in the immediate neighbourhood, their injuries being less se vere ; but some received frightful wounds. The cause of the explosion, as far as can be at present ascertained, is clearly over-pressure of steam. There were appearances about the engine which caused some of the men to leave theZshed for fear, and it is said that one of them remarked to Hefron how heavily his steam was blowing off, to which he merely replied, " Yes, it was?' This was but a minute be ore the explosion ; two of the men referred to had only got out of the shed when the explosion occurred. The engine it seems was worn out. Some of the tubes at the side were quite filled up, and some of the long stays were corroded very much ; facts which seem to prove a want of supervision. The force of the ; concussion was so great that it blew away every window in the shed, although the frames were of cast iron ; and it lifted up the floor of the read irg-room, and threw the men from their seats. Three cast-iron pillars, twenty-seven feet long, and about twelve inches and a half in diameter, were thrown down with the roof. A coroner's inquest will be held to-day at the Waggon and Horses, Longsight, by Mr. Rutter, on view of the bodies, and no doubt a strict inquiry will be made into the efficiency of the engine. At present there appears to be blame attached to those who had to look over the engine, in exposing an old piece of machinery to a strain it could not stand. THE FATAL .RAIL4AY ACCIDENT NEAR BOLTON. The following are the further proceedings which oc curred. It will be seen that the inquiry is adjourned, the jury desiring some scientific opinion : Joshua Worrell, banksman to Mr. Fletcher of Pen dleton, deposed : I went to the place by instruction, as fast as possible, and got there about five minutes past six. I found some carriages upset and broken, and I assisted to get the people out of the carriages. I found Croston, the engineer, upon the line. He was dead. He was part inside and part outside on the main line. The cokeman we found beneath a carriage which was standing upon its wheels. He was quite dead. Mr. Hugh Sandeman, of Portland-street, Manchester, sworn : I identified the child as belonging to Mr. G. Freeland Barbour, of the Grange House, Edinburgh. It was aged 4& years. Both Mr. and Mrs. Barbour were in the train, with two other children and two nurses ac companying them ; another child was seriously injured, and is now dead. They were coming to Manchester from Edinburgh. Had exceeding doubts of the correctness of the ideas of those who had spoken of the speed of the train ; should the inquiry be adjourned, they would hear evidence 9f passengers to show the train was going at a much higher speed than named. It was excessively high. The Foreman said it would be exceedingly desirable to have that information. Mr. Sandeman said it should be given, if possible. • James Woistencroft, of Clifton, collier, assisted in pulling Siminonds from beneath the train. Mr. H. Blackmore, superintendent of the line, said— It is nearly five miles from Bolton to the place, and about two-and-a-half miles from Halshaw Moor. They regulate their speed according to the time in the books, and the limit for express engines is about thirty miles an hour. All they have to do is to account for the tinke lost, not to make it up. Messrs. Brassey and Co. are contractors for the repairs of the line, and Mr. Izat, under the resident engineer, Mr. Watts, is superintend ent of the line. In answer to the Foreman, Captain Laws said—lt was the duty of Mr. Izat to go over the line personally every day, and he had several divisional superintendents under him. The gradients are lin 200 from Halshaw Moor to a little beyond where the accident happened. There is no curve there of less radius than lf mile, and there is no necessity for slackening speed. It is a flat curve. Roger Barrington, station-master at Dixonfold, said —lt was within two or three minutes of six o'clock when the train passed my station. It was not going at more than the usual pace for an express train, and it appeared to be all right. A boy upon the bridge gave me information that the train was off the line, and I then put on my signal and ran down the line. When half way down I met the guard, and I went back to stop the other trains. I had not observed any defect in any part of the line ; but it is not my duty to examine the line. Mr. Wm. Hurst, locomotive superintendent of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company, deposed : I know the engine No. 13. Croston was the driver of it. About three weeks ago it was under repair. It had a general overhaul, and was put in good order. It was put on the line new in September, 1847. It might have been a fortnight or three weeks under repair, and after being finished three weeks has been working ever since up to the time of the accident. It had had considerable repairs before, probably once every six months, but not oftener than usual. They are examined before they go out every day. It was a four-wheel engine, and it is a matter of opinion as to whether such an engine is as good as a six-wheel. I think they are, all things considered. I have seen the engine since the accident, but it does not appear to be much injured. I believe the axle was broken before the train got off the line, from the evi dence on the sleepers. It is the left axle, and the iron is broken within the axle-box. There are marks of a wheel upon the sleepers of the inside rail for several yards before there are any on the outside rail, so that it would appear that the inside axle broke, and was kept with the box in which it works for the distance it ran. A juror said they were fully an inch out of gauge that Friday night after the occident. Mr. Hunt considered that the breaking of the axle might have been caused by a collision or a serious oscil lation, but by which he could not say. The oscillation he had spoken off would not be produced upon a curve ; it might upon a 'straight line. The engine weighed 14 tons, and he had never had any complaints of her. She had had new tubes and tires, and her general overhaul was once every six months. Mr. Blackmore recalled—Fixed about two minutes and a half as the time that would elapse in pulling up at Halshaw Moor, stopping the the time described, and getting into full speed again. Mr. Sandeman withdrew his notice of intention to bring forward witnesses to prove the speed. It would only be the assertion of one gentlem an against that of another. The jury then proceeded to discuss whether they should proceed further that night, or not. The Foreman thought it would be desirable to have some one to speak to the general character, and not to confine themselves to the mere breaking of the axle. Mr. Lewis tendered Mr. Izat, the superintendent of the line, and Mr. Watts, the resident engineer. The Foreman —they had better have some one uncon nected with the company. A long discussion took place with closed doors, and when the public were admitted again, the Coroner said the jury had formed an opinion that the train was run ning at an excessive speed, and that the line was not in good order, and therefore they desired that the Govern. ment inspector and Mr. Nasmyth and Mr. Fairbairn should inspect, or some other competent person, and say whether the engine and carriages were in such a state as to justify such a rate of speed. The inquest was then adjourned to Friday. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE MERSET.—On Monday morning, about ten o'clock, five men were sitting on the edge of the landing stage at Seacombe, on the Birken head side of the river, leaning against the chain, when one of the ferry steamers came up, bumped against the stage, and one of the iron rods supporting the pre tecting chain snapped, and the men fell into the river. Four of them were rescued, but the fifth, named Hughes, was drowned. His body was shortly afterwards re covered, FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE of YESTERDAY. DIVIDENDS. J.

At this clay's market there was a fair attendance of town and country millers, who, however, bought as sparingly as possible, and the business done was upon the whole ex tremely small. Wheat and flour were offered at a reduc tion of id to 2d per 701 b., and is per barrel under prices of this day week, with little effect. Oats and oatmeal were in very limited request, and must be noted id to ld per 451 b., and 3d per load cheaper. . Barley, beans, and P eas remained without a lt era tion in value or demand. Indian corn on the spot was scarcely inquired for, and yellow was is and white 2s per qr. l ower; floating and arrived ca r g oes were also easier to buy. IPSWICH—MARos 8. We had a fair supply of wheat at market this day ; it; met a fair steady sale, and prices remain quite as t la!_b week.
