It is natural for traders to compete where the opportu nity is unlimited for new rivals to enter the field from time to time it is quite as natural for traders to combine so soon as, in the particular trade in which they are engaged, the whole number of possible competitors may be ascer tained and limited. These considerations, while they appear to your com mittee calculated to diminish the reliance which can be placed upon competition as a security for the public against the abuse of power by railway companies, increase in the same proportion the necessity for vigilance in parting with any control which, as guardians of the public interest, the Legislature may possess. The voluntary combinations to which your committee have thus ( adverted have not generally the sanction or force of law. The relations which the companies have been enabled to establish by their means are not secure ; and it is a test of the difference in value between these arrange ments and actual amalgamation under the authority of Parliament, that the witnesses who recommend amalga mation speak so strongly as they do of the additional security which it will confer upon the stook of the com panies obtaining that advantage. It is, therefore, manifest that, in conceding amalgama tion, Parliament would part with a power which it might exercise for the purpose of securing to the public one of the greatest advantages that a commercial country can enjoy, viz., freedom and economy of transit for persons and mer chandise from one part of the kingdom to another ; and that so important a step should not be taken unless these advantages be fully secured. When the first railway bills were passed, and the present system of railway legislation was gradually acquiring shape, the ordinary traffic of the country was conducted upon the roads and canals ; and the new system offered to the public the option of an improved method of transit, which was naturally accepted on the terms on which it was offered. Nor can it be doubted that railways were expected to be in practice what they are in contemplation of law, new high ways freely open to the public to pass with engines and carriages at their own discretion. But in course of time the ancient methods of transit have necessarily fallen into disuse, and the railways have become the only mode by which the greatest part of the internal communications of the country can be conducted ; while considerations of public safety, and other circumstances, have placed the management and use of them exclusively in the control of the railway companies. In passing front the ruder to the more artificial system, while the greatest advantages have on, the one hand been attained, on the other hand some sacrifice has been made of the freedom with which indivi duals are able to exercise their choice of route, and to se lect the means of locomotion they employ. Under these circumstances, the relation which ought to subsist between the Executive Government, as the guardian of the general interest, on the one hand, and the owners of the railways on the other, has become a question of the utmost im portance ' • and it would be in th e hi g h es t d egree unfortu nate if, by any precipitate step, Parliament were ) precluded from arriving at the conclusion best calculated td promote the public good in future years. Ii order to ensure this end it will be necessary to estab lish, in the clearest manner, what that relation ought to be; and, as subordinate to this subject, to determine, among other things, - for what purposes and to what ex tent, audit can be rendered effectual ; whether it be pos sible to ascertain and define what portions of the expendi ture should be charged upon the capital of the companies ; whether the fixed amount of dividend which any company should enjoy before submitting to the proposed revision of tariff can be fairly assessed, and what degree of control it is right that any central authority should exercise, for the purpose of securing fair facilities for the transmission of traffic arriving at the points of junction between dif ferent lines ; or for the development, by new lines, of the traffic of the country, as circumstances may from time to time require. There are also kinds of traffic, such as the co nve y ance o f coals and minerals, in respect of which maximum charges have been prescribed ; but it is doubtful whether the com panies have not the power; by denying to one person facili ties which they afford to others, of materially interfering with the freedom of trade, and frustrating the intensions of Parliament. In many of the most important districts of the country canals have been united with railways in traversing the . . whole or part of the same district ; arid while precautions have beer; taken in some of the acts for Ek..cturizi,g to trade the benefit of free transit by such canals, much evidence has been offered to your committee that these precautions have been ineffectual. Into these questions your committee have entered with all the diligence which their limited time has hitherto ren dered possible ; but other important evidence remains to be heard, and your committee are not prepared to pre judge the determination at which, when the whole inquiry shall have been concluded, it may be their duty to arrive. "I shall now attempt to give you some of the par ticulars of a most unfortunate occurrence that has be fallen us: Rentab had for several months past been collecting a ballah and taunting Brereton. About a fortnight ago he sent word to Gasim and Lingi, and the others who had been friendly with Brereton, that unless they joined him and forced their way to sea, he would attack their houses and take all their property. Brereton, upon this determined to go up the river and defend their houses. He sent for Lee and the Balows and the Batang Lapurs, and collecting as large a force as he could, proceeded to Bandang's house, which he hastily fortified. Rentab came down with only two boats, was fired into, and ran away. Rrereton and Lee rushed to their boats, and, followed by one other Malay boat, and a few Balows in scampans, pursued the retreating foe. The boats soon scattered, and on the leading boat suddenly turning a sharp point of the river, she was received with a shower of spears, and four huge bankons lying in wait were upon her before her crew could get at their guns ; they fought, however, most gallantly till Lee came up and took off the attention of two of the enemy. Lee shot with his gun two men, right and left, but had no time to reload. Brereton's fire also killed several men, but his boat was soon swamped alongside the gigantic' ban kong of Rentab, and he and her crew got to the shore without a weapon. Boats, guns, rifles, everything fell into the Dyak hands. Whilst this was going on the Balows, who fought well at first, finding they had no chance in their small boats, and with 27 of their num ber wounded, gave away in all directions. Lee's men, some killed and many wounded, after vainly urging their leader to fly, jumped overboard, with the exception of four, who gallantly stuck to him till all were wounded. They begged and prayed him to jump overboard and get ashore. Though desperately wounded, the gallant fellow fought on, saying he would never run away, he would die, but never be shamed by turning, and as his last follower jumped overboard, Lee was seen to spring sword in hand into Rentab's boat, where he was soon dispatched, and so we have lost as gallant and noble an English gentleman as ever stepped. I think you scarce knew him—he was shy and retired at first, but on acquaintance he much improved, and has endeared himself to all by many admirable qualities. Every one in Sarawak, including Malays, deeply feel his loss ; he was a great favourite with all—his courage was Spartan. The news from Kanowit is also unsatis factory. Briah Riab got past the fort, with a large ballah, and has gone up the Rejang. Kum Nipa has been trying to get up a combined attack on the fort, and it is said Pa Lambung, of Sarebas, is preparing a tremendous ballah for the same object. I, have dis patched the Badger, with orders to Steele to take every precaution, and with supplies of muskets and ammuni tion, also strict orders not to quit this fort. I much fear Kanowit, Sarebas, and Sakarran will break out this sea son ; there are evident signs of it. St. John has asked for a steamer, but I shall not rely on his getting one— we must defend ourselves, and thank God, our people are ready and willing. If the Dyaks should break out now, the mischief will be terrible, not only to the rapidly rising trade, but to hundreds of unsuspecting people who are fishing and farming on the banks of the rivers, al most to the sea." That it will be undesirable to permit the bills now before Parliament to proceed, without having first arrived at a conclusion upon the merits of the whole question, will be manifest, when it is considered that the bills promoted by One company (the London and North-Western) have been stated to your committee to involve the union, under one control, of a r a i s ed ca pit a l of 60,000,00 01 ., between one fourth and one-fifth of the railway property of the kingdom —an annual revenue exceeding 4,000,00 Q/. —and an extent of railway communication of upwards of 1,200 miles, or mmre than one-sixth o f the railways in the Un i te d' King dom,whic is ingfro the i mpor t ance o f th e t own s with connected, a key to the principal communica tions of the country, It may be mentioned that Mr. Brereton had arrived safely at Sarawak. Your committee are not prepared to advise that your honourable house should part, at present, with any of the power anies. s which Parliament possess es i n reject of these great comp The period of the session has now arrived at which it is absolutely necessary to take a decided course in regard to private bills. Your committee, therefore, commend that the bills for effecting the more extensive re amalgamations, shall not be allowed to proceed to a second reading. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. Harvey Lownd:es, druggist at Stockport, stated that on Saturday, the ,12th of March, the prisoner Gibbons Ibrought a child to his shop, and wished to give the child some medicine. The child lay in her arms with its mouth open, the tongue was turned up, and the under part dry and cha med. Asked her what she had given the child to cause its mouth to be in that state. She said, ‘‘ I have given it nothing." I said, "You must have given it sonic thing, or its mouth would not be in the state it is, and I shall not mix any medicine for it ; you had better t Ole it to some one else, for the child is dying." There vr;is a little discharge from the nostrils, rather coloured, lyut not bloody. Asked her how long the child had been ill ? She said it had been poorly on the Monday, but; she had not taken any notice of it until the Friday night previous. Saw her again that night along with Thherwood, president of the club, and the witness Patrick Flannery. Isherwood said he had come to see what ,-was the cause of the child's death, I said I could not , - tell him, for I had only examined its mouth, and it wns a very suspicious case. The prisbner and Flannery said the child had died a natural death. Isherwood said they must meet him in about three quarters of an hcnir, at the Red Bull, and he would see whether he could. settle with them. They then went away. Edward Isherwood, President of the club, deposed to what took place between the prisoner and himself, as already detailed by Flannery and Lowndes. Charles Prince, one of the officers of the burial club, produced the boo.ls of the club. He said Gibbons came to him on Sunday night, the 3d of October, and entered herself and child, as members. James Flanaghan put her name down he. the books. Afterwards saw the same • child dead at the house of Gibbons, the prisoner. The witness then deposed to seeing Gibbons at the club - - house on the Situ lday evening after the child's death, and she said if he (witness) would get her the money she would give him or te-half. James Flanaghan deposed to the prisoner Gibbons and her child being members of the club. Mr. W. Derby hire, surgeon, of Stockport, deposed to going to Gibbons's house on the day of the child's death. Saw sonie, dark brown stains, as if somothing had ran out of its mouth. The lower part of the belly was going blacic.. Asked the prisoner Gibbons what she had given to the child She mentioned some simple things in the way of food. Saiv the child on the Sunday morning, and its:, tongue was white and corroded, Cross-examined--On the first occasion the' prisoner said the child 1124 died a natural death, and witness might open the body, or do what he liked. John Derbyshire, police officer, produced the clothes worn by the child and the two prisoners, and a bottle containing oil of - vitriol, which was found in the ashpit. George CheatNsan deposed to the fact of the prisoner Gerratz giving h erself up on the 25th of March. Mr. John Rayner, surgeon, of Stockport, deposed to making a post mortem examination of the body of the child, and that iJr,s death was produced by mineral poison such as oil of vii wool. He also produced an analysis of the clothes worn by both prisoners, and also by the child, in all of which he found oil of vitriol. He also found the same thing cin the inside pocket of the dress taken from Gerratz in the lock-up. This closed th e case for the prosecution. Mr. Gifford addressed the jury at considerable length in favour of the prisoners. He contended that the charge against the younger prisoner was a most impro bable one. The prisoner Gibbons might have adminis tered the poison by mistake, but as against the other there was not the slightest case. After going over the whole facts of the case, the learned gentleman con cluded with a most powerful appeal to the jury in behalf of the prisoners. The learned Judge summed up the case to the jury. The jury retired, and after being out of court an hour and a half, found both prisoners Guilty, but recommended them to mercy. His Lordship then put on the black cap, and pro ceeded to pass sentence of death upon the prisoners. His lordship said they had been found guilty, after the most careful consideration of their case, of a vile and cruel murder. They had had the benefit of being de fended with the greatest zeal and ability by the learned counsel who had kindly undertaken their defence ; but he could see no reason whatever upon the evidence to doubt the propriety of the conclusion to which the jury had arrived. With respect to Honor Gibbons, she, for the basest motives of gain, had unnaturally violated one of the deepest feelings of human nature, and for the price of that unfortunate infant's burial fees had had the heart to destroy her own child by means the most cruel, unnatural, and barbarous. With respect to the other prisoner Gerratz, his lordship observed that there ap peared no adequate motive for her conduct, except some inherent disposition to join in such a deed. After stat ing that the recommendation of the jury should be for warded to the proper quarter, the learned judge pro ceeded to pass the awful sentence of the law upon the prisoners, holding out not the slightest hope of a com mutation of the sentence as far as Gibbons was con cerned. Theprisoners were then removed from the bar, sup ported by the matron and turnkeys. Perhaps some northern apologist for slavery will say she was kindly treated here—not handcuffed by the wrist to a chain, and forced to walk, as articles less choice are ; that a waggon was provided, and that she rode ; and that food abundant was given her to eat, and that her clothing was warm and comfortable, and there fore no harm was d one . We have heard it told us, again and again, that there is no harm in slavery, if one is only warm enough, and full-fed, and comfortable. It is true that the slave-w Oman has no protection from the foulest dishonour and the utmost insult that can be offered to womanhood—none whatever in law or gospel ; but so long as she has enough to eat and wear, our Christian fathers and mothers tell us it is not so bad ! Poor Emily could not think so. There was no eye to pity, and none to help. The food of her accursed lot did not nourish her ; the warmest clothing could not keep the chill of slavery from her heart. In the middle of the overland passage, sick, weary, heartbroken, the child laid down her head and died, By that lonely pillow there was no mother, but there was one Friend, who loveth at all times, who is closer than a brother. Could our eyes be touched by the seal of faith, where others see the only wilderness, and the dying girl, we, perhaps, see one clothed in celestial beauty, waiting for that short agony to be over, that He might redeem her from all iniquity, and present her faultless before the presence of his grace with exceeding joy ? Even the hard-hearted trader was touched with her sad fate, and we are credibly informed that he said he was sorry he had taken her. Bruin and Hill wrote to New York that the girl Emily was dead. The Quaker, William Harned, went with the letter to break the news to her mother. Since she had given Up' all hope of redeeming her daughter from the dreadful doom to which she had been sold, the helpless mother had dropped like a stricken woman. She no longer lifted up her head, or seemed to take any interest in life. When Mr. Harned called on her, she asked, eagerly, "Have you heard anything from my daughter ?" "Yes, I have," wa s th e re ply, " a lette r f rom B ru i n and Hil." "And what is the se w s ?" He thought it best to give a direct answer,—"Emily is dead." The poor mother clasped her hands, and, looking up wards, said, " The Lord be thanked Ile has heard my prayers at last !" _ And now, will it be said this is an exceptional case— it happens one time in a thousand ? Though we know this is the foulest of falsehoods, and that'the case is only a specimen of what is acting every day in the American slave trade, yet, for argumen t' s sa k e, l e t us , f or once , admit it to be true. If only once in this nation, under the protection of our law, a Christian girl had been torn from the altar and the communion -table, and sold to foulest shame and dishonour, would that have been a light sin ? '• POPULATION. — It may be fairly assumed that more than 80,000 souls from all quarters' of the world have landed on our shores during the past'year. The entire population of the colony at the preient moment may be stated at more than 200,000 souls. \ The principal in convenience felt by new-cornem is the want of house ac commodation. The abundanCe of money, and the defi ciency in effective labour, have raised the expenses of building far above the point at which it would be a pro fitable investment for capital. The number of buildings erected in the city within the year, bears no proportion to the increase of the population. But already we dis cover symptoms of reaction in this respect ; and we think that the ensuing year will witness a revival in the building trade, and a great extension and improvement of the city. Meantime, the wAnt is partially !supplied by tents and small wooden buildings in the outskirts. On the southern bank of the Yarra Yarra there is a population of four or five thousand ]ivpig in tents ; and all' around the boundaries of the city wooden cottages are daily springing up. The scheme for affording temporary shel ter to newly-arrived immigrants has been carried for ward with spirit. The private subscriptions amount to nearly 40001., to which the Government is to add 8,0001. The Wesleyan Methodists have erected a building for the temporary accommodation of immigrants, of their own and other denomi nations, in want of shelter. Despite all such efforts, however, there must be a great amount of privation, as we have said ; but it will rarely sink to actual destitution, and at worst is only tem• porary. The immigrant, once landed, if he has any self. helpfulness at all, speedily finds means to ward off actual want, and sooner or later gains a footing from which it is his own fault if he does not stride rapidly forward into competence and comfort. —Melbourne Argus. THE WEATHER IN THE METROPOLIS.—The metropolis was on Friday visited by a succession of atmospheric changes, but rarely witnessed at this season of the year. At an early period of the morning there was a brilliant sunshine, but this was of very temporary duration, for the wind, that had been veering between the west and the north, settled at the latter point, and about mid-day thick and dark "clouds completely obscured the north westein horizon, and this darkness was soon followed by a heavy fall of hailstones, accompanied by several smart claps of thunder. This having passed over, it was suc ceeded by a copious fall of rain, and gusts of wind. After a time this subsided, and the sun again burst through the obscuring clouds, but this was merely tem porary, and a second and heavier fall of hail soon fol lowed, which alternated with showers of rain for the rest of the day. In the evening, between five and six o'clock, a fearful storm of' hail took place, accompanied by rain, and although of brief duration, it has not been exceeded in violence by any since the year 1846. The atmosphere was so partially darkened, that the places of business, shops, &c., had to be lighted by artificial means, and in about a quarter of an hour the storm burst furiously, and in a short time increased in violence, rain and hail descending perpendicularly in sheets with such force as to cause considerable damage to skylights, and to premises roofed with glass of ordinary thickness ; rain descending with the hail, the latter did not lie on the ground, but quickly liquified, deluging streets in consequence of the drains and sewers being for a time surcharged, and in many instances overflowing foot pavements, so as to render them impassable. These oc currences principally took place in the northern district, nevertheless the Surrey side of the river did not escape, unscathed. The surfaces of macadamised roads in the outskirts were completely washed away. The roads, after the storm had ceased, had the appearance of the bed of a torrent after much sultry weather. Market garden ground in the suburbs suffered severely from the violence of the storm. THE COLLIERY EXPLOSION AT WIGAN.—The coro ner's inquiry was brought to a close at a late hour on. Thursday night, and the jury came to the following ver dict :—" We find the death of Henry Marsden, and fifty-six others, whose bodies we have viewed, was caused by an explosion of fire damp which occurred on the 23d of March last, in the Arley Pit, situate in Ince, belonging to the Ince Hall Coal and Cannel Com pany ; and that the explosion occurred from gas which accumulated in No. 6 (Griffith's) and other drifts on the south side of No. 2, north jigger. There is no direct evidence to show how such gas ignited, or the accumu lation took place ; but the jury are of opinion that it arose from the door on the south side of No. 2 north jigger being improperly left open for a longer or shorter period. The jury cannot separate without strongly ex pressing their opinion that the rules for the regulation of the said colliery are very imperfectly carried into exe cution."

Od. 7 CONFERENCE OF DELEGATES FROM THE PROTESTANT ALLIANCES OP GREAT BRITAIN.—On Friday lasta meet ing was held at Birmingham, to which the Protestant Alliances of the following towns had been invited to send delegates :—London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Man chester, Birmingham, Bristol, St. Helen's, Kent, Ply molith, Newcastle, Stroud, Sheffield, Worcester, Wol veffampton, Stafford, Leeds, Nottingham, York, Chel tenham, South Shields, Norwich, Ryde, Stoke-upon- Trent, East London, Clerkenwell, Torquay, Leaming ton, Hull, Leicester, Shrewsbury, Southampton, Derby, Islington, Devonport, Bath, Newbury, Stonehouse, Tonbridge Wells, Gravesend, Durham, Peterborough, Stamford, Hereford, Blackheath, Weymouth and Brad ford, Norwood, Carlisle, Preston, Dorset, and Weston super-Mare. The business of the conference was com menced by a preliminary meeting:for arrangement, held at twelve o'clock, and from that hour until half-past five the delegates were engaged in discussion of the vari ous operations qonnected with the alliance. The meet ing was not onl of public demonstration, but solely for private deliberation. Among the subjects which occu pied the attention of the delegates were the modes of en lightening the public with respect to popery, and pro testant truths, by meetings, lectures, sermons, the press publications, colporteurs, missionaries, schools, contro versial discussions, &c., &c. From about twenty of the more importa'cit alliances accounts were furnished of the success attending their efforts, and the energy with which the work was carried on in Scotland was regarded as highly encouraging. It was intimated also that the Protestant Alliance, with the 62 kindred associations connected with it, was increasing in efficiency every day. Attention was directed to the present condition 'of po pery at home, in regard to which an inquiry into the teaching and effects of Maynooth was expected to be in stituted by the House of Lords, and a bill was to be in troduced into the House of Commons for the inspection and control of nunneries, while the persecuting cruelty of popery abroad had been signally exposed and defeated by the exertions called forth at the instance of the Pro testant Alliance on behalf of the released prisoners, the Madial There is a class of bills included within thercauded within cal description as bills of amalgamation, which tethui to the same objection, and ought not to bein included net op en the prohibition against proceedine , in the These are bills, the object of which is to e m sen i t c se a ms l i o o ca n i branch, for the benefit .f a particular district ; a a the small and new undertaking cannot prosper byirils since f ac t e o unite it in interest with the trunk, of which it m us e t, necessity, be a mere branch or adjunct. Bills of this' of na ture, instead of deserving restriction, rather need encou ragement, and ought, therefore, to be subjected to no un necessary expense, and to none of the hazards of delay. How far, under any unproved system of railway legislation, it may be possible to increase the facility for obtaining lines of local convenience, is a subject to which the atten tion of your committee will continue to be carefully di rected. It remains that your committee should submit the views -which they conceive should be adopted, pending their in quiry upon other subjects indirectly affecting the question of a malgamation. The first of these subjects is that of running clauses, as they are usually termed ; in other words, of conceding to one company powers of traversing, without coisent, the lines of another. This practice has always been regarded as questionable, from considerations of public safety, and your committee advise that the attention of the select com =Mee upon each bill should; in every case, be specially di rected to this subject, and that running clauses should be fttimitted, with great caution, and only in cases where it -is A ROYAL TELL-TALE.—The poor King-Consort of Spain is a sad tell-tale. A few days ago the Queen asked the Marquis of Miraflores some questions about political matters, upon which he addressed her Majesty at some length on the subject, and concluded by giving it as his opinion that it would be highly conducive to her inte rests if her mother and the Duke of Rianzares were to leave Spain. The King-Consort was present, and is said to have (though the Queen desired that nothing should be said about it) repeated the whole conversation to Queen Christina in half an hour afterwards. Queen Christina and the Duke of Rianzares came to the palace next morning, and there was a regular consejo de familia, the first result of which is that the Marquis of Miraflores has been forbidden the palace, while some recrimina tion is said to have passed between much higher parties. A PARIS WALKING MATCH.—A man, a tinman by trade, recently arrived from the department of the Gera, wagered 150 fr. two days ago that he would walk twice round Paris by the octroi wall (29i miles) in eight hours, on the condition that he should , be conveyed across the river in a boat at the Barriere de Sevres. He performed the feat in fifty-two minutes less than the appointed time. A FRENCHMAN'S NOTION OF THE BRITISH HOUSE OF COMMONS.—The following description of a sitting in the House -of Commons is given in a recent feuilleton by Mery, one of the most celebrated poets and one of the most amusing writers of modern France :—" Speeches are'. delivered in a psalm-singing tone ; members sleep here and there, and everybody yawns ; the Speaker does not use . a bell, and , no one is ever called to order ; there is never any agitation on any of the benches ; ennui rains in torrents ; Whigs and Tories share amongst themselves badly-baked biscuits ; a good deal of Barclay and Perkins' porter is drank ; members go out every movement to swallow a basin of turtle soup ; on t h e i r return they turn over collections of caricatures ; Minis ters play at short whist in a corner ; those wh o are not asleep read a romance of Dickens ; speakers seem not to care about being listened to." A FEMALL MISER.—Last week an old woman, named Ann Dawes, was taken from a ho use in Strait's -mouth, in the lowest stage of destitution, and conveyedfothe Greenwich Union. On her a rr i va l at the union, the master, Mr. Ellis, with his characteristic activity, di rected her clothes— or rather Fags, to be burnt, as they were in a most filthy. condition. On searching her a partment, a banke r ' s b oo k was found, from which it appeared that Dawes was worth 1501., part of which was deposited in the Islington Savings' Bank, .and the remainder in the London and County, Bank.—Kentish, Mercury.

MELANCHOLY AND FATAL AC CIDENT.—A painful sen sation was excited throughout the city on Thursday, by a lamentable accident which occurred on the works of the Dublin Great Exhibition building, causing the almost oths a instantaneousers death of 3 men , an d such injuries to several it is fea re d, some of them will not recover from, The followi ng official account of •the distressing occurrence was furnished in the course of the afternoon by Inspector Stokes, of the metropolitan police force, who was on duty at the works :—Between 10 and 11 o'clock this morning, a gang of painters, fifteen in number, were engaged in painting the arch of the ma chinery -court of the Great Exhibition building, when suddenly the scaffolding on which they stood gave way; and thirteen of the party were precipitated to the floor ing—two having clung to the ropes by which the scaf folding had been suspended, and these only were saved uninjured. The injured sufferers were instantly con veyed in cars to Baggot-street Hospital, and placed immediately under medical and surgical treatment but, we lament to say, that skill was unavailing in some cases, for death speedily put a period to the sufferings of three. The following are the names of the men who fell with the scaffolding :—William liig ginson, dead ; James Malone, ditto ; Nathaniel Booker, ditto ; Walter Anderson, not expected to recover ;.Ben jamin Beamish, severely injured ; Charles Killeen, - - 4 , slightly inju re d ; J a mes Carr, ditto ; John Nolan, LONDON : Printed an d P u bli s h e d b y MURDO Y0 0; 041 ditto ; William Clarke, ditto • Edward Taylor, ditto ; I of No. 112, Strand, Printer, at The Sun Office, N° If Philip Hancock, ditto ; Cardiff, ditto ; Pet er I Strand, in the Precinct o f, th e S avoy , i n th e coast' Leary, thigh bone broken..
