We have been enabled to procure a list of the names of those persons providentially saved, which we hasten to present to our readers. We regret that it was impos- sible to obtain an exact account of the number, names, or circumstances of those who unhappily perished on this lamentable occasion:— PASSENGERS. John Renny T.

" The jury desire to express their high admiration of the truly noble and praiseworthy and spirited conduct of Captain W. Pullen and the crew of the Bessy smack, by whose exertions, assisted also by the crew of the steamer, 69 human beings were rescued from an untimely death We strongly recommend Captain Pullen and his crew to the favourable consideration of the owners of the steamer, also to the Ilurnane Society. We beg also to express our unanimous disapprobation and censure of the conduct of the captain and crew of the smack Frederick, for the heartless arid unfeeling conduct exhibited by them in not affording the sufferers every assistance within their power." LOSS OF THE TWEED. Yesterday a meeting of merchants interested in the late melancholy loss of the Tweed, took place at the London Tavern, with the view of raising a subscription for the master and crew of the Spanish brig Emilio, by whose gallant and praiseworthy efforts so many of the passengers and crew of that ill-fated vessel escaped with their lives. Mr. Pole took the chair. Among thoLpre;;ntWereitir.lis;ring, Captain Man gles, Captain Chappell, R.N., and a number of merchants connected .with the trade of South America . A statement was made that her Majesty 's Government had voted to Captain Camp a gold medal and 5001.; the Committee of Lloyd's a silver medal to the captain, a bronze medal to the mate, Villaverde, and 201. to be divided amongst the crew of the Emilio. The Royal Mail Steam-packet Company had voted 2001. to Captain Camp, 1001. to the mate, and 1501. to the crew of the Emilio. A list of other subscriptions was also read, which was greatly increased by the gentlemen present. c A committee of thirteen was then appoi n t e d t o t a k e charge of the present and future Subscriptions,Amoogst he and om to apply . m Col ville, Mr. Cotesworth, Captain Mangle s , C aptain Shep pard, Mr. Price, and the M exican Consul. iute them w e to noticed the o th bj e e n ct a s m iensteonfd Mr.ed.

This crowning feat corn gratification in the warmest language to Captain Pasco, whose indefatigable perseverance, conjoined with that of the pletely astounded the gallant Admiral, who other officers of the Victory who have had the training of her juvenile crew, cannot be too highly applauded. On leaving the ship the Admiral was saluted with seventeen guns, the yards being manned in a moat excellent and ship shape manner. On Wednesday the boys of the Victory will repeat their highly creditable manoeuvres for the gratifica tion of Captain Sir James Stirling (who is about to commis sion the Britannia, 120, at this port), and a distinguished party of officers. Mr. Bellamy, second master attendant of this dockyard, and a party of riggers, returned . from the south s id e o f t h e Isle of Wight on Saturday with the African steamer and Drake lighter, having been employed during the late north east winds and spring tides in picking up the guns and stores of the Sphynx, in which they have been successful, having recovered every gun, with upwards of 100 tons of the heavy weights thrown overboard to lighten her when she first struck. Thus the finishing stroke has been put to that eminently satisfactory undertaking—the recovery of the Sphynx from apparently inevitable destruction. S N 7 APRIL 20, 1847. The African steam-tug proceeded to Cowes this morning, and brought over detachments of the 42d (Highlanders), 56th, 91st, and 97th Regiments, comprising 350 men, from Parkhurst Barracks, Isle of Wight, to do duty in this gar rison, vice the 2d (Queen's) Regiment, removed this day to Gosport. The Mercury tender, Master Commander Scarlett (who is appointed to command the Admiral's yacht Fanny), arrived this morning from Ireland, where she has been actively en gaged as one of the provision squadron. The Kestrel brigantine, Lieut.-Commander Baker, is fitting in the basin for foreign service. She will carry four guns of light calibre. - - --- PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS.

The fourth and last of a series of concerts, illustra tive of the history of English vocal music, given fur the purpose of raising a fund to build a music hall as a t est i mon i a l to Mr. Mullah, of sight singing celebrity, took place last evening, and, carrying on the chronological arrangement of the three that preceded it, brought the history down to our own times; the programme selected being from the works of composers now living, or very lately deceased. To judge from the enthusiastic applause throughout, this must have been to the audience much the most gratifying concert of the series, and it is natu • ral that it should have been, for the pieces performed have, with scarcely an exception, been all popular favourites for many years. The only Eovelty we can mention was the form in which some of the glees were given, being sung by the full chorus instead of by solo voices. In two instances, Dr. Crotch's " Me thinks I hear," and Mr. Horsley's " Cold is Cadwallo's tongue," a remarkably good effect was produced by the bass solos being sustained by a solo performer (Mr. W. H. Seguin), while the harmonised portions were doubled, as we have described. The following very numerous pieces were encored:—The quartet, " Lo! starled chiefs," from Dr. Crotch's oratorio Palestine ; Webbe's glee, " When winds breathe soft," in which the chorus ap peared to great advantage; the song of Shield," The bud of the rose," sung by a Mr. Clifford, who has returned from Italy . ; Stafford Smith's " Hark! the hollow woods," in which again the chorus did themselves infinite credit; a sea song of Dibdin sung very beautifully by Miss Dolby; the capital trio of Sir Henry R. Bishop, from Gar rick's romance of Cymon, sung with great spirit by Mrs. W. H. Weiss, Miss Dolby, and Mr. Manvers. The chorus excited, of course, the principal interest, and they sang most admirably, taking up the points with perfect precision, going together without the slightest wavering, executing florid passages with the greatest nicety, and paying much attention to the marks of expression. Mr. Mullah needs no higher testimonial than such a display of the good effects of his system of teaching. A small band, under the direction of Mr. Willy, produced much more effect than we have often heard from a very con siderable larger body, proving that it is much better in as orchestra to have one man who can play than a dozen who would if they could. Mr. Oliver May played the harp obligato in Dr. Crotch's air, which was sung by Mr. Novella, " Ye guardian saints," on a small weak-toned pianoforte, the effect of which in so large a building could not but be somewhat ridiculous ; and delighted as everybody was with Miss Dolby's singing of " Ned that died at sea," we are certain the effect of this song would have been still greater had the accompani ment been better balanced with the voice ; so good a player as Mr. 0. M ay s h ould have chosen an instrument on which he could have done himself justice. Mr. May, sen., conducted with immense vigour. The hall was extremely well attended, and this interesting course of concerts at its close must have given great satisfaction to every one who was present at the whole series. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING. NEWMARKET, MONDAY EVENING, FIVE O'CLOCK. We subjoin the details of a day's racing that boasted of nothing "great," either in quantity or kind; that had no prospective interest, except as it regarded the debilt of Sir R. Bulkeley's Derby colt, Montpensier, and that, moreover, not withstanding the weather was all that could be wished, at tracted but a moderate attendance. The betting on the current events of the day was, as it has been from the com mencement of the season, very limited; in fact, no one at present appears to think of any race but the Two Thousand. Guineas, and even on that, although of the highest import ance to those interested in the Derby, business is dull beyond all precedent. The only horses in favour for it are Planet, Conyngham, and the Liberator; the first two have large parties, and the 111iddleham nag a staunch supporter in his owner, a proof that the recent attempt to make him " safe," by driving a nail into his foot, must have failed. It is doubt. ful if Glentilt will run; at all events, he has not yet made his appearance.

SURREY THEATRE. A new nautical drama, in two acts, entitled the Anchor of Hope, was produced here last night, with complete success. Neither the plot nor the incidents are very new, but the materials have been worked up by the awl& of an artist. The incidents are striking, and Ifollow each other in quick succession ; the dialogue is well written, and the acting of Mr. J. T. Johnson as a sailor, (he is the legitimate successor of T. P. Cooke), of Miss Russell as Sally, the sailor's love (and admirably she acts the part), of Mr. T. Fredericks, as the villain of the piece, (he was called for at the conclusion so ad mirably did he act his part), and though last not least, of Mr. E. Stirling, the author, as a benevolent Jew were so excellent, that the piece was carried triumphantly through, and the Seaman's Star will for some time to come be the Anchor of Hope realised at the Surrey Theatre. The great feature of the night,however, was the Buffalo Gals, or the Female Ethiopean Serenaders. This is also from the pen of Mr. E. Stirling. Taking advantage of the present mania for black music, he has constructed an interesting drama, the scene of which is laid in a plantation in South Carolina. The proprietor, a benevo lent old man, Mr. Muggs (Mr. Hislop) holds high festi val on the birthday of his daughter. Mr. Mark Antony Wellington Nelson Tom Thumb, a free nigger (capitally acted by Mr. H. Webb), and Silas Herringbone, a regu lar Yankee speculator (Mr. Lewis), in panther inexpres sibles, have determined to form an engagement with a band of female Ethiopian slaves on the estate, headed by Miss Lucy Neal (Miss E. Terry), to take them to Eng land, and bring them out, in order to ease the Eng lish of some of their gold. The female Ethiopians appear and give a rehearsal of " Buffalo Gals," " Lucy Neal," " Old Dan Tucker," " The Boatman dance," and " Mary Blane." The concert being conducted by the black Mons. Jullien Mark Antony. These songs were given with great gusto—the solo parts sung by Miss E. Terrey—the lady who played on the bones proving her self no unworthy rival of the immortal Pell. Then fol lowed the " Railroad Overture " and the " Grape-vine twist." At last old Muggs, discerning their talents, frees them and gives them their liberty to come to Eng land, and at the Surrey Theatre the Female Ethiopians, led by Miss E. Terrey, will repeat their performance every evening ; and we opine that the " Buffalo Gals " will eventually become as popular at the Surrey, as the Ethiopians have become at _the! St. - James's. Then followed the wonderful performances of the Bedouin Arabs ; and the interesting drama of The Bridge of Notre Dame, concluded the evening's amusements. The house was crowded to suffocation long bafore the rising of the curtain. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by the Countess of Mount Edgcumbe, the Hon. Miss Cavendish, Lord Byron, Gen. NVemyss, and the Hon. Capt. Gordon, honoured the French plays with their presence last evening. There were also present the Duchess of Sutherland, the Duke and Duchess cf Beaufort, Duke and Duchess of Montrose, the Russian Ambassador, Baroness Brunnow, Mdmlle. Olga de Lechner, the Baron and Baroness Rehausen, Marquis and Marchioness of Douro, the Countess of Roden, Lady Glentworth, Earl and Countess of Bruce, Earl of Sandwich, Countess of Blessington, and the Misses Power, Lady Jodrell, Lady and Miss Mac donald, Sir Henry and Lady Meux and Mrs. Bowyer Smith; Lord Gardner, the Count D'Orsay, the Baron Koller, the Hon. Robert Lawley, Lady Frankland Lewis, Hon. George Barrington, Hon. Mrs. Marlay, Sir Henry Meux, the Count de Courcy, Lord Cardigan, Lady Dillon, lion. Captain Mur ray, Colonel Barlow. OHARTERHOUSE SQUARE INFIRMARY. The 11th anniversary festival of this society took place yesterday at the Albion, Aldersgate-street, the Lord Mayor in the chair. About 150 guests sat down to dinner, provided in the style which is peculiar to the Albion. From the report it appears that the affairs of the charity are in a very flourishing con dition, no less than 580 havi ng been admittedinto the in firmary during the p as t y ear. Of t h ese 259 have ipen dis rharged as cur e d, 159 h ave b een materially relieved,e only eight considered incurable. Mr. Salmon, the honorary surgeon of the institution, impressed upo n the company the necessity for coining forward generously in support of the charity, the claims of which upon the humanity of the public he dwelt upon at considerable length. It appeared from his speech that the institution is at present in need of great extension, and that the 'amount of house accommo dation is quite inadequate. In all other respects the charity appears to be in a very flourishing condition. The arrange ments of the evening reflected great credit on the stewards and committee of management, and there was some excellent singing under the guidance of Mr. Hobbs and a select band of professional gentlemen. THE PARISH or LAMBETH.—Yesterday, at ten o'clock in the forenoon, the parishioners of Lambeth as sembled at the Vestry Hall, to receive the accounts of the Surveyors of the Highways, and on the general business connected with the duties of the Surveyors. The Rev. C. B. Dalton, A.M., the Rector, in the chair. Mr. Roffey, the vestry clerk, produced the auditor's report , and the tate ment of the account. The latter showed the receipts to be 13,426/. ss. 7d., which included 11,831/. 18s. 11d., the amount of rates, and 1,367/. 17s. 2d. balance in hand. The balance in hand, after paying the necessary disbursements, was 297/.los. 2d., and there were to be received from the rate between 500/. and 600/. The roport was received and ordered to be printed. FIRE AT BALLINCOLLIG POWDER MILLS.—The cooperage attached to the powder-mills, Ballincollig, was discovered to be on fire at the hour of one o'clock on Thurs day morning. Ere the discovery had been made, the fire had progressed to such an alarming extent as to render all hopes of saving the particular building in which it haa • originated useless; and all the efforts of the military were, therefore, directed to prevent the flames reaching the neigh bouring powder stores, the result of which would indeed have been of the most serious character. Happily the de. structive element was got under, but not before it had corn pletely destroyed the building in which it had commenced.— ' Irish paper.

PEDESTRIANISM FOOT RACES AT PEctistAm.—Somethousands congregated yesterday at the Rosemary Branch to witness the competi tion for a silver cup, value twenty guineas, to be presented by mine host ( Smith) to the victor in a twelve-mile walking match, for which the following men appeared at the scratch, and were thus handicapped :—Wright, the Bermondsey Novice, 200 yards start ; Samuel East, of Westminster, 100 yards start ; and Charles Westhall, Benjamin Butler, and George Bradshaw to commence level. The match i$ soon told—at four-and-a-half miles Westhall had made such speed as to get one turn, 780 yards, out of Butler and East,wi at the end of 38 minutes walked off, and Bradshaw did the same a little beyond the fifth mile. The Novic e and West hall now were left alone; Wright, although nearly over hauled by a turn and his 200 yards start, walking gamely and well. At the fifteenth turn (7 miles), the time made by Westhall was lh. lm. ICsec., by Wright 63m. 175., at the Bth mile Wright being 3 minutes behind, also gave in, and Westhall finished the distance at his leisure. For the twenty mile race Manks, the Warwickshire Antelope, Brookson, of Garrett, and Thomas Cook, of Greenwich, appeared at the post. Brookson had 200 yards start, and CookmlaoOnksyanrodws (too little, we should say, by two-thirds), Mank s soon passed a-head.

MELANCHOLY EVENT. —OH Thursday morning, a a house in Hanover -lane was observed to be on fire, and al ;hough every effort was made to overcome the flames, the house was entirely destroyed. This was not all; an unfortu nate woman, the wife of a ship-master, who occupied a por tion of th e house, was burned to death. The fire had origi in her s l ee pi ng apartment, and the body, when found, presented a most frightful spectacle.-4berdeett Harald. u~~ ,- V --. ....g...L1 42, 2 ' ,7 a'4,e, ,: --- I vif --:_.- -- __-_--1;: it - .2.7, -- : • -- -- '-L -, ....1 IRELAND. tir:;:'` :i•74 0 Wednesday DUBLIN, A ni P g it h l t t, (IrBep.—ortettwheeennineip Limeri c kcl kn it,. .?7,1 '-e'fi l weig -f---. 14e - 31. 7 4. ,>1 1 .. i.1fT. 5,, ...4 A ci,-_, , armed party of four men attacked the hen k . .I' ,, fi t si m r-7 - _-_,.., Crowe, a respectable farmer, residing in .e 0 tik r A --- - '-'•••? noon, townland of Cooga, near Cappamore.prtinant . .. 4 - m __ j of Lord Stanley.

Crowe then went to his bed-room, and having loaded two guns, gave one to his servant boy and retained the other himself. They then came to the front window, when Crowe inquired, "Are ye there, boys?" and being answered in the af f irmative, he and his servant imme diately fired upon the group, killed one man, and severely wounded another.

WRECK OF AN EMIGRANT VESSEL: It is our paii! , rid duty to record the loss upon our coast of the Ameri can ship Rochester, Captain Trueman, burden 800 tons, which left Liverpool on Sunday morning, bound to New York, with about 300 emigrants, and struck at six o'clock on Tuesday, A.M. Happily the lives of all on board have been providentially saved. She was wrecked upon one of those banks which render this part of our coast (Blackwater) so dangerous, especially to strangers. It was a painful sight to witness' so many poor per sons, as they landed from the Arklow boats which took them out of the wreck, bereft of all the little store which they possessed upon the earth. Our kind hearted and respected townsman, Mr. Thomas Brennan, exerted himself to the utmost in securing what luggage still remained ' - and with the assistan c e of that e ffi cient public o ffi cer, head constable Nicholson, who, with his men, displayed the greatest attention to the wants and comforts of the distressed emigrants, had the unhappy suffeiers placed in the spacious yard ad joining his stores until they could be assembled to gether and brought to a place of shelter and warmth. He had coals and straw immediately dispatched to the old workhouse, where several other humane and bene volent individuals administered food and fire to those who had been for nearly two days and a night without sustenance. Our excellent Vice-Lieutenant, Mr. C. A. Walker, and Sir F. Le Hunte, rendered all the advice and assistance that the catastrophe demanded. Mr. Richard Devereux, the Rev. Messrs. White, Lacy, and Dillon, Mr. Hughes, Alderman Walsh, Mr. Robert Sparrow, Mr. W. Walker, Mr. Thomas Naylor, Mr Hogan, Dr. Boxwell, and many others were occupied throughout the entire day and evening in serving out warm soup from the public kitchen, bread, tea, beer, &c., to the grateful sufferers. The calamity has been felt the more severely in our town, as the event took place while the relief committee were sitting, and obliged them to postpone for that day the further consideration of the claims of the poor in our locality, in order to render the rights of hospitality to those who were now thrown in so helpless a conditi on u p on our s h ores. —W ex f or d Independent. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Saturday evening, about seven o'clock, two horsebreakers in the service of Mr. Wragg, liverystable keeper in Finsbury. were exercising a young and high-spirited horse in a gig break through Worship -street, when the animal became alarmed at the noise of a cab behind it and started off with frightful velocity. The men exerted every nerve to check the horse's career, as the streets were filled with people and children in the greatest con sternation, but the frightened brute dashed on wholly beyond control through Worship-square and into Clifton- street South, where it verged from the road and whirled the break like a feather along the foot pavement the whole length of the street. The passengers rushed in terror across the road and into the houses, and a painter, who was upon a ladder, painting the front of a house had barely time to pitch himself off his ladder when the break knocked it down and went over it, sweeping its owner's clothes as it passed with the wheel, and the next instant knocked down a little boy ten years of age, the son of a labourer, and passed over his body. The poor little fellow was picked up seriously injured, with the blood pouring from his mouth and ears, and conveyed to his parent's residence, and the horse m e anti me con tinued its career along the pavement, the daiver tugging with all his strength at the rein to get him into the road, but uselessly, as the next instant it dashed is the corner of a baker's window, and, bounding off again, came into such violent contact with an iron post in the kerb, that the post and three large flagstones were torn out of the pavement and scattered about, and the two men in the break dashed out of it. One of them fortu nately escaped with only a few bruises, but the other (the driver was raised up in a state of total insensibility, and apparently dead, and carried to the house of a neigh bouring surgeon. The horse then went on down Clifton street North, which is terminated by a high brick wall, forming the .back of ,some manufacturing premises, and on finding itself checked by this obstruction, turned swiftly round and dashed into a private house at the bot tom, the door of which it burst open; and here, having got clear of the harness, which was broken in pieces, it ran along the passage till it finally fell upon the stair case, apparently without injury. But small hopes are entertained of the child's recovery. THE Boy D EA.N. —This ill-fated youth (only thirteen years of age), w h ose name i s so notorious from his alleged participation in the murder of the " blacking_ bo y; at Greenheys, was yesterday brought up at the New Bailey sessions, on a charge of obtaining, at Heaton Norris, On the 15th of March, by false and fraudulent pretences, a quantity of money, flour, and groceries, the property of Hiram Wake field. He was found guilty, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment in Lancaster Castle, and was ordered to be once whipped. He is also to be kept in solitary confinement for fourteen days.—Manchester Courier. THE SOUTH-WESTERN EXTENSION RAILWAY.— On Saturday above 40 houses were disposed of by auction, in compliance with instructions from the directors of the South- Western Railway Company, for the extension of the rail way from the terminus at Nine Elms to the York-road. They were situated between the Westminster-bridge -road and the York-road, and adjoin the site which is to form the termi nus in this locality. There are but a very few houses still to be sold for this extension, there having been about 400 houses sold, the materials of which have realised between 6,0001 and 7,0001. The removal of so large a number of houses has caused rents to be increased abutting on the line from 1$ to 20 per cent. The directors are already in treaty for the purchase of the houses to be taken down for the extension of the line to London-bridge. HARROW SCHOOL, APRIL 19.—The prizes for the best English prize poem and English essay, founded by the present head master, Dr. Vaughan, have been respectively adjudged to H.
