LYCEUM THEATRE. The second of a series of three operatic performances, under the management of Mr. Alicroft, with Mr. and S. Sites Reeves as the principal a ttractions, took Place list night. On the first night Fra Diavolo, of which an account was given in the notice of Mr. Reeves' ;enefit at Drury-lane, Theatre, was repeated before a tensely crowded audience. Yesterday evening the .•titertainments consisted of the Sonnambula and the musical farce of The Waterman. The house was again filed to overflowing. The Elvin° of Mr. Si ms Reeves exhibit s th e same Marks of carful study and improve ment which were recop•nised in his Fra Diavolo. It was iltogether a highly artistic performance. Mrs. Sims teeves was graceful and preposse ssin g in Amina, and Mr. \Teiss as good as ever in his old part of Rudolpho. The opera went off with the greatest applause, although the tem ler of the audience was slightly disturbed by the curtain 'l'awing up considerably later than had been announced. The orchestra, led by Mr. Tolbecque, and conducted by Mr. Tully, was generally efficient. At the conclu aon Mr. and Mrs. Reeves were summoned to reappear by the unanimous voice of the house, and came forward with Mrs. Weiss. So successful was the opera that it was reannounced for Wednesday next, which involves to extension of the series. •In the Waterman Mr. Reeves was as successful as at Drury-lane ; and the "Jolly young Waterman" and "Bay of Biscay" met with uproarious encores. Miss Harland, who pleased very much as Wilhelmina, was compelled to repeat her first ballad. It is evident, from the continued favour accorded to these performances, that there is the element of success a English opera ; and, with the resources now available at every department, it is singular that the metropolis mn boast of no such institution. Paris has three na tonal operatic theatres ; London has not one ; and yet Loßdon is more musical than Paris, and a real taste for -ie art far more general here than there. It is difficult ta solve the riddle. "HE CRYSTAL PALACE CATASTROPHE. I Mr. Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, yesterday bsomed the inquiry into the cause of death of the ten unfortunate men whose lives were sacrificed by the fall of several of the trusses used for the supports in tte erection of the ribs for the north and central tran sept of the Crystal Palace. The inquiry was continued at Masters' Hotel. The ?IT, a second time, with the coroner, Sir Joseph Pax nn, Sir Chas. Fox, and Mr. Fuller, managing director f the company, Mr. Farquharson, and other directors, fain viewed the building. On their return the evidence was resumed, which was onclusive as to the fact that the scaffold had been rected upon true mathematical principles, and even I Pon examination it was impossible to account for the cruse of the accident. All the witnesses agreed in sating that they would have no hesitation in pursuing tae same course to-morrow. The altitude had nothing to th With the disaster. The Jury, in reply to the coroner, having stated that toy did not desire to bear any more evidence, Mr. C ar t er th e coron er, su mmed up, and the court las cleared for a few minutes. On the public being re- Omitted, The Coroner said he had been desired by the jury to ,state, with regard to the melanc hol y investigation they just concluded, that they considered no blame what ever attached to any individual, and they were also anxiou s to express their strong opinion that, after having carefully examined all the circumstances of the case, lent a "ey felt sati s fi e d th a t the occurrence was p urel y acci i. A formal verdict of "Accidental death" was then re .orded in each of the cases, and the proceedings termi aated.

ACCIDENT AT SYDENEIAIL—EIoquent praise of f eat of and "daring" . in the daily journals reads pleasantly, but it should be remembered that these themselves do not always deserve it, and feet, n truth be culpable. To arch over a span of 120 of ne at a height of 102 feet from the ground, is a work •,,,,,. ess common difficulty, and the mode proposed by i',` != Is.

RESUME OF THE SESSION. The parliamentary session which will this day be brought to a close has been of an unusually protracted and laborious character. Its career commenced under the Derby and Disraeli administration, upon the 4th November, 1852, when the constituent of the represen tative branch of the legislature comprised a greater num ber of new and inexperienced members than any pre vious Parliament for many years past. Under these auspices it progressed until the catastrophe of the 16th of the following month, which resulted in the overthrow of the Derby administration, and the formation of a new cabinet by the Earl of Aberdeen. On the 31st Parlia ment adjourned, and on the 10th February, 1853, it re assembled for the real business of the session. During this period the House of Commons has sat 159 days, and 1,152 hours ; being, in 1852, 38 days and i 174 hours ; and in 1853 121 days and 973 hours. In l i 1852, the sittings averaged 4 11-19th hours each, and in 1853, 8 1-24th hours each. During the whole ses sion they have averaged 74 hours each. The total num ber of hours in which the house sat past midnight is 125 • being 61 hours in 1852, and 118/ in 1 853 . Alto gether these sittings amount to 15 5-Bth days of 8 hours each. The phenomenon known as a "no house" has occurred only once, namely, on the 7th June ' • but thlt " counts out," including the "no house," at 6 o'clock when the house met at 12, have been 8 in number, The total number of divisions taken in the Commons has been 260, being 21 in 1852, and 239 in 1853. The greatest number in any one day has been 9, which oc curred on the 7th July and on the Ist August. The divisions in the Lords have amounted to 25 only, all of them in the course of the'present year. The only acts which received the royal assent under the Derby administration were the Bills of Exchange and Notes Metropolis Bill (a temporary measure having reference to bills falling due on the day of the Duke of Wellington's funeral), which received the royal assent on the 17th of November ; the Bank Notes Bill, the West India Colonies, &c., Loans Act Amendment Bill, and the Commons Inclosure Bill, which received the royal assent on the 16th of December.

" The Lieutenant-General Commanding has much pleasure in causing the following memorandum to be communicated to the division : " Horse Guards, Aug. 18, 1853. " ' MEMORANDUM. " The General Commanding-in-Chief has had the honour to convey to Lieutenant-General Lord Seaton, G.C.8., and to the officers and men of the two divisions encamped during the summer, the Queen's approbation of their military bearing on each of the occasions when her Majesty passed these troops in review. " The 2d division being about to return to quarters, Lieutenant-General Lord Seaton will be pleased to issue a divisional order, expressing his sense of the conduct of the forces confided to him by her Majesty for field in struction. _ " ' General Viscount Hardinge has had the satisfac tion of witnessing, on very many occasions, the energy and ability with which the combined movement of the three arms were directed by Lord Seaton ; and the re sult of the summer instruction has fully realised the expectations formed of its success when intrusted to an officer of Lord Seaton's reputation. " His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, K.G., the senior Major-General in the camp, has ma noeuvred the division during the last 10 days, and the General Commanding-in-Chief has the honour of congra tulating his Royal Highness on the very successful manner in which the troops were handled. " The officers of the general staff, before they sepa rate, will receive the Lieutenant-General's orders for collecting the various reports and details relating to field equipments, which will be taken into consideration at an early period, under instructions separately con , veyed.

SHOCKING GUN ACCIDENT AT THE -OAKS, NORTON, I —An accident of a fearful nature happened to a young man, t h e c oachman of Mr. Bagshawe , of the Oaks, Nor ton, on Thursday evening. He was charging the re ceiver of an air-gun with an air-pump, when the receiver (an it on globe) exploded. A large piece of the receiver entered the ribs on the right side, another piece inflicted a Cu, t six inches long , on the chest ; and the explosion broke his jaw-bone and completely tore up the lower portion of his face. Mr. Overend, the family surgeon, was immediately sent for, and all the measures that a considerable experience in similar accidents suggested were adopted for the preservation of the man's life. He was so much exhausted from the lAB of blood that it was feared he would die. Afterwards, however, he rallied ; and on Friday morning Mr. Overend performed the painful operation of extracting the piece of iron which had lodged in his side. It is probable that he will re cover. The man was charging the gun to shoot rabbits llfor his own amusement. He had been warned of the danger which always attends the charging of air-guns. birb '74,4Vith3n SUN OFFICE, Six o'Clock. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, AUG. 19.—Any favourable effect which the removal of the apprehension of war might be ex pected to produce upon our market has been neutralised, not only by a greater difficulty in effecting them, during the last six days, in consequence of the still increasing demand for capital. The articles most affected are com mon mule yarns for India, 16's to 24's water twist for China, pincops for domestic cloths, and 40-inch G E shirtings for the markets of the East. In all these, prices are rather against producers. With the exception of the pincops alluded to, the change is slight ; but these may be had t ld. per lb below the highest prices lately obtained ; those prices were, however, out of proportion with the quotations for other yarns made from similar cotton. Taking the market at large, there is great steadiness in prices—for the most part, indeed, a re markable firmness. BRADFORD, Aug. 18.— Yarns—There is a fair demand for yarns, but the prices are too low to meet the price now demanded for wool. Pieces—There is a tolerably active demand, and in the warehouses, for finished goods, au average business doing. The accounts from America are represented as favourable. Wools—There is no in creased disposition to buy English wool, and from the high prices sought by the country dealers and growers, it would appear that they are unwilling to accept prices at which sales might be made. NOTTINGHAM, Aug. 18.—There has been less business doing in the lace trade since our last account of it, but it is still in a healthy condition for the season, consider ing the disarranged state of political affairs on the con tinent of Europe. The home and colonial trades are taking off large quantities of lace and hosiery goods of the best qualities, particularly the latter ; and it would appear that no articles they require can be too well made for them. STATE OF THE WOOLLEN TRADE. (From the Leeds Mercury of this day.) LEEDS.—The reports which have appeared for seve ral weeks past, notwithstanding the gloomy apprehen sions which overshadowed our foreign relations, and the unfavourable weather for our harvest prospects that we had during last month, have represented the trade of this town to be in a good and steady state and healthful condition. In the Coloured Hall a full average quantity of cloth was disposed of. There are also deliveries regularly taking place at the warehouses of goods that are either made to order or sold by sample. Many of the principal manufacturers dispose of the bulk of their goods without bringing any portion of them into the market. BRADFORD, Aug. 18.—A fair amount of business was doing, but without any alteration of price. The spin ners complain strongly of their position, that the price of tops is so near the price of yarns, and that one or the other must alter if they are to derive any bene fi t from their business. The demand for gross yarns to the Continent is but slack, and there does not seem to be an ascertained price for them, as different rates are obtained for the same counts and quality. HUDDERSFIELD, Aug. 16.—We have no material change to report in our market to-day ; the demand keeps up for seasonable goods. Manufacturers ge nerally are fully engaged working to order. LEICESTER.—The same general activity pervades all branches of our manufactures that has existed for some time past. Commercial confidence seems fully esta lished on a firm and sound basis, producing a legitimate business, to which the demand for our Australian colo nies has materially contributed. Worsted yarns are more in demand, and the prices remain firm. There is more doing in wools at prices rather in favour of the seller. THE CONVOCATION OF THE CLERGY PEREMPTORY PROROGATION BY THE ARCHBISHOP. Yesterday the general meeting of the Convocation of the Clergy of the Province of Canterbury was held at the Jerusalem Chamber, adjacent to Westminster Abbey. The rev. gentlemen present attended divine service in Westminster Abbey, and afterwards proceeded to the Jerusalem Chamber, where the meeting was appointed to be held. The Rev. Dr. CHRISTOPHER WORDSWORTH, Canon of Westminster, stated to the assembled clergy that the Very Rev. Dr. Peacock, the Prolocutor, was staying at his house, and had commissioned him to attend there to make a statement—a statement, however, which he wished to say was of an unofficial character, and entirely indepen dent of any order with regard to the transactions of con vocation. It happened to be the opinion of the prolocu tor that even the Lower House of Convocation could not be properly constituted without the preliminary pre sence of the archbishop, who was the president. The prolocutor had received no official communication with regard to the time of their meeting, but that morn ing at eleven o'clock a communication had been made to one of the servants of the Abbey that his grace the Archbishop would not arrive at Westmin ster until three o'clock. That communication was con veyed to him (Dr. Wordsworth) as Canon Residentiary of Westminster, and he of course had communicated the fact to the prolocutor, but officially the prolocutor knew nothing about the matter. If the clergy present wished to hear anything more from the prolocutor, that gentle man would be glad to see them at his (Dr. Words worth's) house, but for the reasons he had already stated, the proctors would easily see that the prolocutor could not appear amongst them in that room. After somewhat lengthened discussions, a deputation, consisting of the whole of the clergy present, was formed and waited upon the Very Rev. Prolocutor at Dr. Wordsworth's house, where they remained for some time in consultation. At 20 minutes past 3 o'clock his Grace the Arch bishop of Canterbury arrived in full robes, accompanied by Dr. Twiss, the Vicar-General, Francis Hart Dyke, Esq., her Majesty's Proctor, the Principal Registrar of the Province of Canterbury, and other officials. His GRACE, on taking the chair, said he had attended for the purpose of proroguing the present session of con vocation for the province of Canterbury, and would be glad to see the prolocutor of the Lower House. The Very Rev. the Dean of ELY (Dr. Peacock) then advanced to the table, and said—Your grace, I have been requested by a considerable number of he mem bers of the Lower House of Convocation, who have been assembled here since 10 o'clock this morning, to make the following respectful representation to your grace :—" That no intimation has been given to me, as prolocutor, that the present session of Convocation would not commence at the usual hour. They beg, therefore, very respectfully to pray your grace to give such orders as may prevent a similar occurrence for the future." Loud cheers greeted the reading of this resolution, The Archbishop of CANTERBURY expressed his deep regret that there should have been any occasion for the passing of such a resolution by his rev, brother in the Lower House of Convocation. He had attended there for the purpose of proroguing the present session of con vocation, and he had never entertained an idea that there' was any intention of proceeding with the dispatch of business. On the occasions of prorogation it had never been the custom to enter into matters of controversy, and having no idea that such would be the case in the pre sent instance, he had followed the course which, to the best of his belief, had been adopted by himself and pre decessors. Mr. F. H. DYKE then, by command of the Archbishop, read the schedule of prorogation, fixing the next as• sembling of convocation for Saturday, the 10th of No vember, on which day, however, it was agreed on all hands that no business should be done. The meeting, therefore, on the 10th of November, will not call for the attendance of the clergy, nor will business of any kind be transacted. Archdeacon DENISON—There is neither right nor rea son in these proceedings. It ior o E v ß A m L E N A A SY N L D IM LL O T R ER P mEN. The Archbishop then retired. The Rev. Dr. RUSSELL , add ressin g the prolocutor, vrr 00R, AGED, AND DECAYED —The twelfth anniver said, at what hour of the day aro we to next meet ?. yl . sa dinner of the f r i en d s and supporters of this excellent The PROLOCIII'OR (lax ;h in g l y) - -Well, at no ime. , instituti on was Several members of the Lowe rtiti House said they were Th ursday. celebrated at th e L on d on T avt rn on very anxious to avoid a repeon of what had occurred \ There were a b out 1 5 0 present.

There were also Tr sen The Very Rev. the PROLOCUTOR said that in all proba- a great many of the piincipal wharfingers and lighter bility their meeting would be prorogued by the Queen's men, occupying premises on the banks of the Thames, Waite, and that, therefore, there would be no occasion on each side, from Westminster to Blackwall. After the for the attendance of the cergy At a subsequentp erio d usual loyal toasts had been given and duly responded to, he hoped that happier arrangements would prevail. 1 the chairman proposed "Prosperity to the Royal Asp lam for Free Watermen and Lightermen," a toast which was most enthusiastically cheered. The other toasts of the evening were, "The Chairman," " The Corporation of the City of London, and the Trade and Commerce thereof;" " Mr. John Dudin Brown, the President of the Institution." (This gentleman was highly com plimented upon the large amount of contributions which he had at various times made to the charity, amounting to several thousands of pounds). "The Master, War dens, and Court of Assistants of the Company of Water men and Lightermen of the River Thames ;” s" Clark, the Honorary Secretary," &c. From the report, which was read at length, it appeared that the expense of maintaining the institution during the past year amounted to 8001., whilst the permanent income was ItO more than 3501. The who le of the p roc eedings were of a very interesting c haracter, and the company sepa rated, after a most convivial meeting, at an early hour. SINGULAR ELOPEMENT. —Elizabeth Gibbon, a young lady of considerable personal attractions, 22 years of age, highly educated, and the daughter of a deceased m ajor in the army, the other day eloped from Dublin with A man named Anthony Flannigan, a loader of turf flat is, near to her father's residence, where be (Flannigan) became a cquainted with his inamorata. He wooed, and wooed successfully, and the lady yielded ; and, as already stated, eloped with him. Her friends sent a relative in pur suit. He arrived here the other day, and the runaway lovers were found consorting together on board the Esmeralda, having taken a passage in that vessel to New York, The relative induced them, in compliance with the earnest request of her friends to go on shor•, and get united in wedlock before departure. All no. Cessary preliminaries were arranged, the marriage license procured, and they were indissolubly united at St. Paul's Church on Saturday. The lady, it is said, would have been entitled to some 5001. or 700/. per year, but this she has signed over in consideration of a large sum to be given to her as her marriage portion, Liverpool Standard. Captain Henry Byam Martin, C.B. (1827), is pro moted to be a Commodore of the Second Class, and appointed to hoist his broad pendant on board the Duke of Wellington, 131, screw steam-ship, as a mark of her Majesty's approbation of the distinguished part so ably performed by the gallant officer on board the magnifi cent and powerful screw steam-ship he commanded at the recent review of the fleet, and subsequent evolutions off the Isle of Wight, in the presence of her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert.

INQUEST ON A SOLDIER OF THE 3D DRAGOONS.— GRAVESEND, Aug. 19.—This day an inquest was held at the workhouse, before Mr. G. Arnold, deputy coroner of this borough, on the body of a man picked up in the river, who, by the medals found upon his person, was a private in the 3d Light Dragoons, a large portion of which regiment had been about three weeks since dis embarked at this port from India. The name of de ceased was John Galloway. At the time of the disem barkation of these troops it was stated that a soldier was missing, supposed to have fallen overboard, and been drowned. It appeared from the evidence that the body was picked up last evening off the entrance to the canal below the Terrace•pier ' and was apparelled in the undress of a so ldi er. Mr. Aitkins, coroner's officer, deposed that he saw the body on its being brought on shore, and on searching it found three medals, which he now produced, and which indicated the name of the soldier, as well as the battles for which he had obtained them, viz., Sabraon, Sutlej, &c. • and on the buttons of the undress military jacket which deceased had on was inscribed 3d Dragoons.

NA VA . 'ENCE. PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 19. His Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia paid a visit this morning privately to her Majesty's ship Excel lent, in this harbour, and witnessed the gunnery prac tice. It is rumoured —and we doubt not the truth of it — that the vacant Grand Cross of the Bath, which reverted to the gift of the Queen on the death of the late Admiral Bullen, will be conferred on Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.B. The Prussian frigate Gefion, 48, Commodore Schro eder, was towed into harbour this morning to refit. The Fire Queen steam-yacht, Master Commander Paul, embarked her Majesty's Ministers this morning from the Royal Clarence-yard for Osborne, and returned with them this afternoon. The Tribune, 30, Captain the Hon. S. T. Carnegie, hauled out of the south dock this morning, and the Con-• flict experimental screw-sloop has hauled into the vacant dock to have her bottom examined after grounding in Stokes'-bay. The following are a few particulars connected with the Queen's second visit to the Duke of Wellington screw three-decker yesterday :—Early in the morning, her Majesty's servants came on board from the Fairy, with preparations for luncheon for the Court. At eight a.m. Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, with his Flag-Lieutenant, Mr. Hankey, arrived on board from the Sprightly steam-tender, Master Com mander G. Allen, and hoisted his flag at the fore. Signal was then made for the squadron intended for sea to prepare to weigh. At 10 30 the Royal party was steered from the Victoria and Albert by Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence to the Duke of Wellington. The Royal visitors were received at the head of the accom modation ladder leading to the entering port of the Duke by Sir Thomas Cochrane, Captain Martin, and Commander Preedy, two midshipmen and four naval cadets doing duty as "side boys." A guard of honour of Royal Marine Artillery, under the command of First Lieutenant Poore, of that corps, received the Royal party on the middle deck. Her Majesty and the Royal circle then proceeded to the upper deck, where they were received by the officers of the ship and a guard of honour of the divisional companies of the Royal Marines, commanded by Captain W. C. P. Elliott, First Lieu tenant Naylor, and Second Lieutenant Lean. Her Ma jesty passed on and proceeded to the poop, where sofas and chairs were placed for herself and suite, and whence she witnessed all the evolutions of the day. On the re turn to Spithead her Majesty expressed a desire to the Admiral that the Duke of Wellington's ship's company should go to general quarters, and her Majesty descended with the Royal circle and inspected all the decks, and saw the whole exercise performed under the command of the various lieutenants of the main, middle, and lower decks, witnessing also the dismounting of a gun, and its removal from one side of the deck to the other. With this exercise between decks both the Queen and Prince Consort expressed their high gratification, and also their admiration to Captain Martin at the state and efficiency of his ship, before leaving. PLYMOUTH, AUG. 19. Her Imperial Highness Marie, Grand Duchess of Russia, with her sister Olga, Princess of Wurtemburg, and the Prince, are expected here during the day from Torquay, on a visit to the Right Hon. the Earl of Mount-Edgcumbe. Her Majesty's screw steam-ship Ajax, 58, Captain M. Quin, arrived yesterday from Portsmouth. She will go up harbour to-day, her crew will be paid off, and she will be re-commissioned. The James Watt screw steam blockship, which was taken out of dock in the early part of the week, was placed therein again yesterday, for the purpose of re ceiving an additional false keel. The merchant-ship Tamarac, Captain Thompson, which arrived here yesterday from Prince Edward Island, re ports—July 9, lat. 46 N., long. 48 W. the bark Hope, of Limerick, 42 days from C ar diff, making water very fast ; supplied her with provisions. Aug. 2, lat. 47 50 N., long. 26 30 W., the Marina, of Belfast, from Bombay, for Harnburgh ; all well. Aug. 9, lat. 49 30 N., long. 14 40 W., the bark Mohanna. of Glaegow, for Quebec. Aug. 14, lat. 50 12 N., long. 10 45 W., the ship Prince Albert, for Philadelphia. SHEERNESS, Aim. 19. The Dolphin brigantine, Lieutenant-Commander Webber.—The only officers who have at present joined this ves3el are the Commander and Mr. William Dore. the gunner. She has at present only eight boys draughted from the flag-ship, and two A.B's. It is now commonly remarked that few seamen join ships commissioned before they find the ship they intend to enter for is so far advanced in her rigging as to be ready for rattling down ; and, on many occasions, seve ral of our men-of-war sailors have been much disap pointed in being a day too late, and having to wait a little longer. Commander Webber has left on Port- Admiral's leave. The Wildfire, steam-tender to the Waterloo, Second Master (additional) George Brockman, left here at 4 a.m. this day for Gravesend, where the Master-General of the Ordnance and surveying officers are to embark, and will proceed on a tour of inspection of all the forts at the entrances to the Thames and Medway. She will return this evening, and Vice-Admiral the Hon. J °sca t line Percy will entertain the Master-General of the Ord . WOOLWICH, AUG. 19. APPOINTMENTS. nance and a select party to dinner at the Admiralty house here. It is reported that the eastern end of this island and.the sea approaches to the East Swale will be brought before them for their consideration, as it has been suggested that a 50-gun screw steam frigate, moored off the eastern end of the island in convenient water would be far more desirable and available at all times ; in addition to which it is stated, A the latter suggestion is carried out, many valuable lives and a considerable amount of property may also be saved to every maritime nation. The Cyclops paddle-wheel steam-frigate, Master Com mander (pro tem. ) Charles Pope, will go out of the fitting basin to day and proceed to Woolwich for the remainder of the heavy machinery of the Crescy, 80, screw steam-ship, fitting for commission here. The Miranda, 14, screw steam-sloop.—Grant's patent cooking and distilling apparatus has arrived here for this ship, and will be put on board as soon as practicable. The Royal George, 120, screw steam-ship—Prepara tions are making here to-day to place the mainmast of this ship under the masting sheers. The Bremen bark, Leidnitz, Captain Weeting, from the Cape of Good Hope, passed here at 10 p.m. yester day, with invalids, in charge of Captain Nott, 74th Highlanders, Lord George Hay, of the 2d Queen's Own, and Dr. Frazer, of the 74th, the latter having been out 15 years. The widow of the late Adjutant Gordon, and her four children, also came home as passengers. The invalids were all landed at Chatham, and sent to hospi tal. On the Leidnitz arriving opposite the Royal dock yard, an attempt was made to bring her up by her anchor, which failed, and she swung round and grounded on the Gravelstone Shelf, at the entrance at ..Chatham Reach ; it being high water at the time, she remained during the ebb tide taking a very heavy list to port. On the flowing tide she righted, and left Chatham at 10 p.m. yesterday, passing the Garrison Point at 12 at midnight, in charge of a Trinity pilot. It is right to state she was assisted from the Nore to Chatham by a boatman, hired to act as a pilot, in consequence of no pilot offering his services. During the time the boatriaan was in charge the aforesaid accident occurred. 4(i 9 2 p IGN. 69 h 59 8i 21i 1 36 i '.ll‘l M I
