Vottrp. DO NOT PLUCK THE FLOWERS. BY MISS U. A. BROWNE. (From Me Dublin Unieersity Magazine.) [An inscription similar to the foregoing is seen in many parts of the Roman Catholic burying ground, Botanic Gardens, Cork.] Oh ! spare the flowers, the fair young flowers, The free glad gift that summer brings; Bright children of the sun and showers, Here do they rise, earth's offerings. Rich be the dew upon you shed, Green be the bough that o'er you waves, Weariless watchers lay the dead, Unblencbing dwellers 'midst the graves! Oh ! spare the flowers, their sweet perfume, Upon the wandering zephyr cast, And lingering o'er the lowly tomb, Is like the memory of the past. They flourish freshly, though beneath Lie the dark dust and creeping worm ; They speak of Hope, they speak of Faith, They smile, like rainbows through the storm. Pluck not the flowers—the sacred flowers ! Go where the garden's treasures spread, Where strange bright blossoms deck the bowers, And spicy trees their odours shed, There pluck, if thou delight'st, indeed, To shorten life so brief as theirs ; But here the admonition heed — A blessing on the hand that spares! Pluck not the flowers ! In days gone by A beautiful belief was felt, That fairy spirits of the sky Amid the trembling blossoms dwelt. Perhaps the dead have many a guest, Holier than any that are ours : Perhaps their guardian angels rest Enshrined amidst the - gentle flowers ! Hast thou not loved one lying low, No broken reed of earthly trust? Hast thou not felt the bitter woe With which we render dust to dust? Thou hast ! and in one cherish'd spot, Unseen, unknown to earthly eyes, Within their heart, the unforgot Entomb'd in silent beauty lies. Memory, and faith, and love, so deep, No earthly storm ean- reach it more— Affection, that bath ceased to weep, t These fl ourish in thy bosom's c re. Spare; then, the flowers! With ntle tread Draw near, remembering what ou art ; For blossoms, sacred to the dead, Are ever springing in thy heart. LITERARY NOTICES. The Practical Chernic LI Pocket Guide; being an Easy In troduction to the Study of Chemistry. By W. Hope, M.D, Glasgow : W. It. M`Phun. This admirable compendium of chemical knowledge forms one of an interesting series of " Pocket Guides" publis&d, by Mr. M` Phan. We have no hesitation in saying that this:: manual of chemistry is one of the best that we hose ever met with. It is literally a complete multum parvo of use ful information. In its method and arrangement itlas the powerful recommendation of extreme simplicity. In its language it is clear and intelligible. Its illustrations are evidently the result of practical investigation. Its price, considering the neat, and even elegant, manner in which it has been got up, is truly astonishing. To those who wish to acquire a general knowledge of chemistry, we can most cor dially recommend this excellent compilation. The Pocket Guide to the Toilette. NV Phnn. Glasgow : W. P This is decidedly the best work that we have ever seen on the subject of personal adornment. The author has. com pletely succeeded in divesting the subject of the mystery in which it has been hitherto usually enveloped. He has fur nished us with a copious fund of information on the proper management of the complexion, the hands, the feet, the teeth, the mouth, the breath, the lips, the hair, the beard, the eye, and the ear. He has also given us a variety of use ful hints on the subject of dress, and on the use of the bath. To all this there is appended a multitude of recipes for pre paring every description of perfumes, cosmetics, dentrifices, ointments for the growth and preservation of the hair, &c. Those who are anxious to cultivate personal beauty and grace, will find in this elegant pocket volume a store of in valuable maxims, the observance of which, we are bound to add, will be found, in most cases, highly conducive to health. A General Outline of the Animal Kingdom, and Manual of Comparative Anatomy. Part 8. B Thomas Rymer Jones, F.Z.S. London : John Van Voorst. This valuable work proceeds in the most satisfactory man ner. When completed, it will form one of the hest manuals of comparative anatomy ever published. The talented author is singularly clear and intelligible in his elucidations. He has availed himself of the assistance of all the most recent works on the subject, and, in addition, has furnished us with a mass of original information, the result of his own investi gations, on the organic structure and vital functions of every class of animals. The present number concludes the des cription of the crustacea, and commences the account of the cirrhopoda; the brachiopods, the tunicata, and the couchi fera, in the division of molusca. The illustrative engravings are very carefully and accurately executed. The Fourth Annual Roport qf the Liverpool Protestant Asssciation. Liverpool : Lace and Addison. 1839. This report contains the admirable speeches delivered at the great Protestant meeting, held in the Amphitheatre, on Friday, the 4th of October last. The addresses of the Rev. Dr. Tattershall, the Rev. R. P. Buddicom, the Rev. Hugh M'Neile, and the Rev. Dr. O'Sullivan. will amply repay the trouble of perusal. They abound with striking facts and details, illustrative of the workings and secret machinations of Popery in the British dominions, and furnish a complete . defence of the aggressive attitude assumed by the Protestant Association. The extensive circulation of this excellent re port will effect much good, especially among the operative classes in this country. A Letter on Prison Discipline; addressed to the Mayor and Magistrates of Liverpool. By the Rev. J. Buck, D.C.L. London : Whittaker, Trencher and Co. ; Liverpool : Lace and Addison, and D. Marples and Co. 1839. This pamphlet contains several very important suggestions, deserving the attentive consideration of the magistracy and the legislature. These suggestions are the'more valuable as they are the result of the author's experience while discharg ing the duties of chaplain to the Liverpool Borough Gaol. The Bank of England and other Banks. London : Simp kin, Marshall and Co. 1839. The author of .this pamphlet has boldly entered the field as the champion of the Bank of England. We think that he has taken the right side of the question. At all events, he has proved himself an able advocate, whose arguments•it would not be easy to answer or to evade. THE SOI-DLSANT KING OF New ZEALAND.—We have accounts from New Zealand which are of some interest at the present moment, inasmuch as they infer that the settle ment of the British emigrants to that quarter may not be without opposition. It seems that the Baron de Thierry, a French nobleman (whose name is not unknown in this country) continues to assert the sovereignty of New Zealand, where he now resides with his family. The baron is " So vereign Chief, King of R.ahabeva," and acts in the name and on the behalf of the aborigines of the island. He has recently issued a decree from Mount Isabel, in the province of Hokianga, dated March, 1839, announcing that the tribes may continue to live on the lands which they occupy ; that he will dispose of lands every three months at auction, the minimum price to be one dollar per acre; that 25 per cents shall be devoted to local improvement, and 25 par cent. to the benefit of the aborigines. He will not oppose the govern ment of the English in his empire, and their purchase of lands with the condition that his royal rithts be acknow ledged. In the year 1837 her majesty's ship Beagle, Capt. Fitzroy. visited New Zealand. A controversy arose between, the baron and Capt. Fitzroy, on account of the refusal by the latter to recognise his sovereignty. la. a protest, ad dressed to Capt. Fitzroy by the baron, he presented a history of his life and the claims which he preferred to the sove reignty of New Zealand and Nuaheva. He states in this protest thataie was born in England of noble parentage, his father being an emigrant of the French revolution. Educated at Oxford, he there married the daughter of a prelate, who now shares with him the' honours of his royalty. He was at one time an attaché of the French legation in London, and always had the protection of the royal French exiles. lie is nergtnially letierwn to the - preMirkiiisi' orthe Louis Philippe, and to his late Majesty King William, to both of whom lie intended to send his prbtest against the conduct of Capt. Fitzroy. During the residence of Mr. Vaughan at Washington, as British minister i the Baron de Thierry passed some months there. In society he was it'd mired for his social qualities, and particularly fur his musical talents.—Morning SERIOUS ACCIO/i.NT, WITH ASTONISHING PRESERVA- T 1 ON OF LIFE.—On Saturday last, about five P.M., as Wil liam Room, a workman at Mr. Buddie's saw-mills, Ems cote, was attempting to adjust a strap which had been detached from part of the machinery, his left arm becalm entangled, and was wound like a cord around a horizontal irun shaft, three inches square. which revolved about fifty times a minute. Being an athletic muscular man, at the middle period of life; the muscles and ligaments of the shoulder did not give way so as to separate the limb from the body, as has been the case in some instances ;—but he was forced round vertically from eighty to one hundred re volutions, or until the machinery, which, is worked be a steam-engiue of above thirty horse power could be stopped. Notwithstanding his appaling situation, he did not lose his presence of mind, but called to other workmen to stop the engine, and at the same time endeavoured to prevent his head from receiving any .. injury ; although, in consequence of his right leg striking against some wood-work about three feet distant from the shaft, it became fractured. When dis entangled from the nutahinery he was conveyed to the Warneford Hospital, where he was promptly attended by the surgeon of the week, Mr. Jones, and Mr. Hulbert, the resi dent surgeskt. Upon 'examination there was found to be a compound freteture of the fore-arm, both the bones being broken in different places, and protruding through the muscles and integuments, the humerus, or shoulder-bone, being in a complete state of comminuted fracture, and as above-named, a fracture of the right leg. It was considered expedient, notwithstanding the severe and complicated injury of the arm, (together with the circumstance that the patient, who displayed the most heroic fortitude, expressed his readi ness to undergo the operation of amputation)—to attempt the preservation of the limb ; and we arc happy to state that, as yet, no untoward symptoms have arisen, and hope is enter tained of his recovery without having to submit to so severe an operation. Upon inspecting the machinery, and reflect ing upon the manner in which he was suspended, (several feet above the ground or floor of the apartment,)—the force with which he was impelled round the shaft,—the numerous resisting bodies near him, as beams, partitions, tat.—his escaping with life, not only appears miraculous, but strikingly exemplifies the protection of a superintending Providence under such perilous and apparently hopeless eirearnststnces.— _Leamington Spa Courier', CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE QUEEN DOWAGER. (Prom the Mornihg Herald.) The hatred which the present cabinet bears to Queen Adelaide is faithfully reflected in the columns of the few leading journals. Lord Melbourne and his col-; Ileagues know that they have stripped their young and. innocent Sovereign of a large portion of that popula rity which attendd her, but two short years ago. The Queen's advisers, have, in short, placed her Majesty in a false position relatively to thb great body of her sub jects ; and the cabinet traitors cannot bear that a con viction of this great - truth should be permitted to en ter the royal mind. - True, the Queen now receives but few of those enthusiastic cheers which used to impart to her appearance in public the air of a triumphal pro cession ; yet still, until after the return of Queen Ade laide to England; the effect_ of contrast was wanting to deteeinine the full meiSiire of-the wrong which Lord Melbourne awl his colleagues have inflicted on their confiding Mistress. Not that the great body of the people of England love or honour their Sovereign less, at the present moment than formerly ; but they feel imperatively called on to prove, by all the means which they may respectfully employ, their utter disapproba tion of the parties who compose her Majesty's court and cabinet. (Shade of Pitt ! When, in English his tory, were the words synonymous before ?) This course has, we repeat, been forced upon the people of England—because the present Ministers 'ne ver tire of boasting, that " the Queen is with" them. If it be useful to the whites to promulgate such a state ment, it must be more useful to her Majesty to be ap prised that her people are not " with" her selfish and treacherous• advisers. The return of Queen Adelaide to England has proved, we repeat, of evil omen to the whigs. The loyal people of England have not forgotten the virtues which the Queen of William the Fourth exhibited on all occasions; nor do the loyal people of England ho - dour Queen Adelaide less when they recollect that her Majesty is believed to have discovered, long ago, the „baseness of Lord Melbourne and his " reforming" as- Snciaies ! Queen Adelaide was rapturously welcomed back to England. She is rapturouSly received where v er s h e moves: Of these facts Ministers cannot be unconscious. They forget, that when Queen Victoria succeeded to the Throne of England, she was the idol of her people. Lord Melbourne and his coleagnes cannot fail to perceive, that by - seeking:to identify - themselves with their much abused Mistress, they have compelled the'people.on many occasions to withhold those out ward semblances of deep _devotion to the Monarchy which the loyal-people.of England delight to render. The whigs fear least, the Queen should inquire into the causes of these things. The wings . know that the solution -of the difficulty could not be remote. The rage with which the cabinet views on every side, the signs of its unpopularity, has latterly found vent in the foulest abuse levelled at Queen Adelaide. The Morning Chronicle,* in a "spirit disgraceful to the Bri liSli.press, although appropriate enough in an organ of the O'COnnell Ministry, accused in the grossest terms the widow-of William the Fourth, of having openly and unbecomingly censured the habits and pursuits of Queen _Victoria. The calumny was promptly repelled ; and the Duke of Palmella, at whose house the offence was alleged to: -have been committed, has indignantly vindicated the honour of Queen Adelaide. Has this proof of the disgraceful falsehood of their charge in duced signs of shame or of repentance in the conduct ors of the Government journal ? Let the following passage in the Morning Chronicle of yesterday tes tify " So far as Queen Adelaide was accused of expressing her self in terms of censure towards her Soiereign in the pre sence of the Duke of Palmeila, at Lisbon, she must be held to.be innocent; and we freely admit it. We will put the court gossip at Lisbekn,ntirely out of view. We will give her violent partisans thcyr4ll advantage of the Duke of Pal mella's denial, carried to its utmost extent; but, under the cover of this advantage, who but the veriest fools or knaves will be led astray by the ludicrous contortions and grimaces exhibited by our tory contemp orar i es a t th e no ti ce w hi c h w e . have at various times deemed it right to take of the tory de monstrations, made by the little knot of courtiers who sur round the Queen Dowager ? The game played by-these wor thies, aided by the tory press, was a deep, and, until we in terfered, apparently a successful one. The object was to impress on the country a belief that all the virtue, piety, and propriety of the Royal Family were centered in the persons of Queen Adelaide and her chamberlains ; and that the court of her mistress and Sovereign was degraded by conduct ofan entirely opposite character. In furtherance of this object, orators, lay and clerical, have not scrupled, in their political orgies, to apply the-most disgusting and di s l o y a l ep ith e t s t o her Majesty's royal person, to her household, and her mi nisters. The Queen Dowager has been paraded about the country, housed, fed, and bepraised by tories; and herself and her qualities held up eternally in contrast with the Queen. This indecency must and shall be put a stop to. Why are not the household of the Queen Dowager. the Howes, the Denbighs, the Ashleys, the Barrinytons, and the rest of the bigotted tories who surround her, content with their share of the oIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND pounds, which is annually divided amongst these hungry officials ? . Let them pocket their salaries in silence and in retirement, (a state in finitely more becoming the widowhood of their mistress than the puppet-show journeys in which they indulge), and the country will not complain." Did vulgar indecency ever before usurp such licence ? And does it not approach the sublime -of impudence, that a journalist who applauds to the echo a court, of which such men as Lord Headfort and Lord Melbourne are regarded as distinguished ornaments—a court, in which the Hastings'. tragedy has recently been en acted—should dare to talk of the necessity (marked you the journalist's " absolute shall ?"—" shall be put a stop to") of interfering by force with the composition of Queen Adelade's establishment ! The whole affair is in accordance with the tactics in variably pursued by the whigS ! Who has forgotten the threats of decapitation addressed by the whigs and their retainers to Queen Adelaide, while yet the con sort of William the Fourth ? Who was forgotten their unutterably-loathsome statement, that, in the event of Sir Robert Peel accepting office, Queen Vic toria would be poisoned ? Or who has forgotten the equally disgusting circumstances, that for the propaga tion of that atocious falsehood, O'Connell remains; to the present ha - or, uncensored by a single Whig journalist ? The whigs are now utterly lost to character and to shame. What are their principles—what their public objects ? The reply is silence: They live, by their own confession, to enforce no great public principles. They live only " to keep out the tories;" and as their last desperate chance for keeping out the tories for a few weeks longer, they devote themselves to the fabri cation of calumnies against the conservatives, more foul than any that ever before disgraced party war fare ! A DAY WITH THE SURREY HOUNDS Our ball had failed so completely, that Jemnay, who was bent still upon fashion, caught eagerly at Tagrag's suggeStion, and went down to Ti r iggeridgeville. If we had a difficulty to find friends ig town, here there was none ; for the whole country came about us, ate our dinners and suppers, danced at our balls—ay, and spoke to us too. We were great people, in fact ; I a regular country gentleman ; and, as such, Jetrany insisted that I should be a sportsman, and join the county hunt. " But," says I, "my love, I can't ride." " Pooh! Mr. C." said she, " you are always making difficulties; you thought you could'nt dance a quadrille ; you thought you could'nt dine at seven o'clock ; you thought you could'nt lie in bed after six ; and haven't you done every one of these •things ? You must, and you .shall'ride !" And when my Jemmy said " must and shall,'.' I knew very well there was nothing for it ; so I sent down fifty guineas to the hunt, and, out of compliment to me, the very next week I received no tice that the meet of the hounds would take place at Squash tail Common, just outside of my lodge-gates. I didn't know what a meet was ; and rue and Mrs. C. agreed that it was most probable the dogs were to be fed there; however, Tagrag explained this matter to us, and very kindly promised to sell me a horse, a delightful animal of his own ; which, being desperately pressed for money he would let me have for a hundred guineas, he himself having given a hundred and fifty for it. Well, the Thursday came ; the hounds met at Squashtail Common ; Mrs. C. turned out in her barouche to see us throw off; and, and being helped up on my chesnut horse, Trumpeter, by Tagrag and my head groom, I came presently round to join them. Tag mounted his own horse ; and, as we walked down the avenue, " I thought," he said, " you told me you knew how to ride ; and that you had ridden once filly miles on a stretch !" " And so I did," says I, "to Cambridge, and on the box, too." " On the box 1" says he ; " but did you ever zoomit a horse before ?" Never," says I, " but I find it mighty easy." - " Atre}litie Pyles yon'reemightv bold for a barber ; mud. I like you, Coxe, for your spirit ;" and so we come out of the gate. As for describing the hunt, I own fairly, I can't. I've been at a hunt, but what a hunt is—why the horses will go among the dogs and ride them down—why the men cry out, " yooooic"—why the dogs go snuffing about in threes and fours, and the. huntsman says, " Gocd Towler—goOd Betsey ;" and we all of us, after him, say, " Good Towler— good Betsey" in course : then, after hearing a yelp here, and a howl there, tow, row, yow, yew, yow! bursts out, all of a sudden from three or four of them, and the chap in the velvet cap' screuelies out (with a number of oaths I sha'nt repeat here,) "..Hark, to Ringwood !" and then, " There he goes !" says some one ; and, all of a sudden, helter skelter, skurry hurry, slap bang, whooping, screeching. and hurraing, blue coats and red coats, bays and greys, horses, dogs, donkeys, butchers, barok nights, d u st men , an d blaguard boys, go tearing, altogether, over the common, after two or thre e of the pack that howl loudest. : Why a ll this is, I can't say, but it all took place the second Thursday of last March, in My presence. . Up to this, I'd kept my seat as well as the best, for we'd only been trotting gently about the field until the dogs found ; and I managed to stick on very well ; but directly the tow rowing began, off went Trumpeter like a thunderbolt, and I found myself playing among the dogs like the donkey among the chickens. " Back, Mr. Coxe " holloas th e h un t sman ; and so I pulled very hard, and cried out Wo ! but he wouldn't ; and on I went went galloping for the dear life. How I kept on is a wonder ; but I squeezed my knees in very tight, and shoved my feet very hard iato the stirrups, and kept stiff bold of the scruff of Trumpeter's neck, and looked betwixt his ears as well as ever I could, and trusted to lack, for I was in a mortal fright, sure enough, as many a better man would be in' such a case, let alone a poor hair-dresser. As for the hounds, after my first riding in among them, tell you honestly, I never saw so much as the tip of one of their tails; nothing in this world did I see except Trum peter's dun-coloured mane, and that I grippled firm, riding by the blessing of luck, safe through the walking, the trotting, and the galloping, and never so much as got a tumble. There was a chap at Croydon, very well known as the " Spicy Dustman," who, when he could get no horse to ride to the hounds, turned regularly out on his donkey ; and ou this occasion made one of us. He generally managed to keep up with the dogs, by trotting quietly through the cress-roads, and knowing the country well. Well, after a good guess where the hounds would find, and the line that sly Reynolds (as they call the fox) would take, the Spicy Dustman turned his animal down the lane, from Squashtail to Cutshins Com mon, across which, sure enough, came the whole hunt. There's a small hedge and a remarkable tine ditch here ; some of the leading chaps took both, ingallant style; others wen round by agate, and so would I, only I couldn't; for Trum. peter would have the hedge, and be-hanged to him, and wen' right for it. _ _ -Hoop ! if ever you did try a leap! Out go your legs, out fling your arms, off goes your hat ; and the nest thing you feel, that is, I did, is a most tremendous thwack across the chest, and my feet jerked out of the stirrups ; me Left in the branches; of a tree • Trumpeter gone clean from under me, and walloping and floundering in the ditch underneath. One of the stirrup-leathers had caught in a stake, and the horse couldn't get away ; and neither of us, I thought, ever would have gone away; but, all a a sudden, who should come up the lane.but the Spicy Dustman ! " Holloa l" says I, -" you gent, just let us down from this here tree !" ".Lor !" says he r robin.," " I'm blest if I didn't take you for a " Let's down," says II but he - was at the time employed in disengagina , Trumpeter, whom he got out of the ditch, trembling and quiet as possible. " Let's down," sacs I. Presently," says he ; and taking off his coat, he begins whistling and swishing down Trumpeter'S SideS and , fadille; and, when he had finished, what do you think the rasealdid ? —he just quietly mounted on Trumpeter's back, and shouts " Git down yourself; old Bearsgrease ; you've only to drop ! /7/ give your oss a hailing arter them ?muds ; and you, vy you may ride back my pony-to Tuggeridgeweal !" And with this, I'm blest if he didn't ride away, leaving me holding, as for the dear life, and. expecting, every minute, the branch would break.. It did break too, and down I came into the slush ' • and, when I got out of it, I can tell you I did not l oo k muc h like the Venusses or the Appollo Belvidearis what I used to dress and titivate up at my shop window, when I was in the hair dressing line, or smell quite so elegant as our rose-oil. Faugh! what a figure I was! Look on the other side and you will see. I bad nothing fur it but to mount the, dustman's donkey (which was very quietly cropping grass in the hedge,) and to make my way home ; and, after a weary, weary journey, I arrived at my own gate. _ • A whole party was 'assembled there. 'Ttigrag, who had come back : their Excellencies Mace and Punter, who were on a visit ; and a number of horses walking up and down before the whole of the gentlemen of the hunt, who had come in after losing their fox ! " Here's 'Squire Coxe!" shouted the grooms. Out rushed the servants, out poured the gents of the hunt, and on trotted poor me, digging into the donkey, and every body dying with laughter at me. Just as I got up to the door. a• horse came galloping np, and passed tue ; a wan jumped down, and, after taking off a fantail hat, came up, very gravely, to help me down. 'Squire," says he, " how came you by that there ha. nimal ? Jist get down, will you, and give it t o it s howner." ". Rascal '." said I, " did'ut you ride off on my horse ?" " Was there ever sich ingratitude ?" says Spicy, ' I found this here oss in a pond, I saves him from drowning, I brings him back to his master; and I'm called a rascal." The grooms, the gents, the ladies in the balcony, my own servants all set up a roar at this ; and so would I, only I was so deucedly ashamed, as not to be able to laugh just then. And so , my first day's hunting ended. Tagrag and the rest declared I had showed great pluck, and want me to try again ; but " no," says I, 1 have been."—Comic Alma nac for 1840. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LIFE AT SEA. (From the Brighton Gazette.) An accident r attended witb loss of life, happened to one of the Brighton fishing-boats on Monday night. At about 11 o'clock the crew of the William and Sally, who were fishing on the trawl-ground, 20 miles at sea, perceived the lights of a vessel coming down the Channel ; and their nets being down at the time, so that they could not conveniently alter their course, they immediately showed their own latterns in return. The signal, however, was disregarded, and the ship continued to bear down upon them, the crew of the boat re peatedly shouting " starboard the helm," as the distance between them and the vessel diminished: Their shouts, however, were equally ineffectual as their lantern ; and the boat was presently struck athwart midships by the bow of the ship. The boat was upset by the concussion ; and her crew, consisting of Rayner Smith, Charles Smith, his sou, about 11 years old, and Richard Allen, better known- by the name of " Dick Lop," were thrown into the water. Assist ance was rendered by the ship's crew, who backed their sails, and lowered a boat into the water. Allen and the boy were found sitting on the capsized boat, which .lay floating on her side ; but Smith had disappeared. The boy bad contrived to clamber on the boat soon after Ehe upset ; and from his precarious situation saw his father sink. The poor fellow had been swimming about for some time, when at length ; finding his strength become exhausted, he cried out, " Good bye, my boy," and from th e momen t hi s son's reply,— " Good bye, father," reached his ear, he was seers no more. Allen was in the- sea for nearly three quarters of an hour, supporting himself by swimming and grasping an oar, before he saw the boat. He and the boy. were conveyed on board the ship soon after midnight, and were furnished with clothes and every thing that their enfeebled condition required. The vessel which had caused the above lamentable accidentproved to be the John, of London, Davy, master, bound to St. He len. Soon after one o'clock the John fell in with another Brighton boat, the Sarah, belonging to Thomas Turner, William Downes, master, on hoard which Allen and the boy were placed; and the John then continued her voyage. The Sarah reached the shore at about - seven o'clock on Tuesday morning, and landed the two survivors of the calamity. Smith, who was a well-conducted man, lived in Russell- ' street ; he was 52 years of age, and has left to deplore his loss a wife and ten children, five of whom were entirely de pendent on him for support. Allen is 56 years of age, and has a wife and one child, which has been a cripple from its birth ; and he has himself met with two accidents, by which he broke some of his ribs, in the same boat. Nothing has since been heard of the boat. We-are much gratified to learn that a subscription has been set on foot for the benefit of the family of the unfortunate man who was drowned. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, 1% ESDAY, DEC. Sittings at Nisi Piing, before Mr. Baron Gurney, and a Spe cial Jury at Guildhall.) YATES AND ANOTHED. P. erne. CITY OF DAJDLIN STEAM rAciIiT COMPANY. Sir F. Pt;llocck, with r. Whately and Mr. Greenwood, was counsel for the plaintiffs; and Mr. Creeswell appeared with Mr. Jervis and Mr. Watson for the defendants. This wisest case in which the plaintiffs', iron merchants of! leveia:ool, aleiseed to recover the value of a large quatltity of iron, valued at about £7OO, which was shipped by them on board a schooner called the Byron, in the menth of April last, for_ the port of Liverpool, and which; 'together with that vessel and one of her crew; went to the bottom on the night of the 16th of April s in consequence of her having been run dowzi by the Duchess of Kent, a Dublin and Li ver p oo l steamer, the property of the defendants. The facts of this case, as proved by the plaintiffs witnesses, were, that the By ron, having been boarded by a pilot off Lynes-point on the I6th April; was by him conducted to an anchorage at the en - trance to the Rock Channel, on her way to Liverpool, about half-past eleven o'clock, the wind being then contrary, and the tide nearly exhausted ; and as soon as this was done, the . sails were furled, and the pilot having ordered a light to he hoisted in the rigging. went below to get some tea, and while there saw the mate, who was not called, take up a lighted lantern, which a witness swore that he fastened to the fore stay, about seven or eight feet aloft. But long after this, another vessel, the Lady Rowley, came to an anchorage near the Byron, and also hoisted a light, her berth being about a cable's length off her neighbour, and in a part of the water called the Bight of Hoyle, the Byron being between the Spencer Gat buoy and the north east buoy, but nearer to the t latter. While these vessels were so situated, the lights of the steamer were observed bearing down upon them ; and when she neared the Lady Rowley, she seeing that vessel's light, avoided her, and immediately ran in upon the Byron, and striking her just amidships, sunk her in a few seconds,, there being only just time for the crew to clamber up the sides of the steamer, and escape that grave to which one of them (a boy) was in fact consigned, he being at the moment below. The witnesses for the plaintiffs, including the pilot of the Byron, in making this statement of the circumstances attend. ing upon the accident, swore that the position taken up by the Byron was a proper one, and that the steamer was more to the south than was usual with outward-bound vessels, and that while she approached they sung out to her without any avail; and furtller, that some of her crew, on being taxed with keeping d"! terrible blind look out," asked, " how -it could be expected that they should keep their eyes open both day and night ? " On the part of the defendants it was contended, that there being a good look-out kept on board the vessels, the light on board the Lady Rowley was descried, and an opportunity af forded to the captain of the steamer to avoid that vessel, but that there was not any light at all exhibited on board the By ron, which vessel lying just in the fair track of all outward bound vessels was not calculated on, and so run down by the steamer a second or two - after she had passed to the north of the Lady Rowley. To prove this defence the captain and others of the Duchess of Kent were called, the former of whom swore that he saw the light of the Lady Rowley at a distance •of more than a mile, and the latter, who was sta tioned at the bow to. look out, that they saw it when they were about half a cable's length off, when they reported her to the captain, by whom orders were(given to port the helm, in order that she might be cleared. All these, and a passen ger besides, who was leaning over the larboard bow of the steamer, from the time ske left the dock till she struck the Byron, swore that they saw no other light whatever but that of the Lady Rowley, and that the first notice they had of the propinquity of the other vessel was when she appeared of a sudden under the larboard bow of the Duchess of Kent, and within a few seconds only of the time she had passed the Lady Rowley. The report of course was given of her as soon as possible, and orders given to " stop and reverse her en gines and post her helm," but without any hope of saving her, for ere the word s were ou t o f th e captain's mouth the mischief was done, and the ill-fated vessel, with her cabin boy, went down almost immediately. Besides these wit nesses several gentlemen, amon g w h om were C ap t a i n Chap pell, Lieutenants Townley and Lord, of the Royal Navy, and Mr. Askew, harbour-master of Liverpool, were called, who, ' onaand gave - it as their opteloeettlertlesepostrlonstaken try by the pilot for aechOring the schooner. was most dangerous.. as it placed her during the night in the very centre.of the fair. channel, for the steamers and other vessels, and unless the greatest vigilance was used on board such a vessel, no one ought to think of going there. It was also proved that the wreck had been buoyed off to mark its position, but that, not withstanding that, another vessel had run foul of her masts, which were visible about twelve feet above low-water mark, in consequence of which . the masts were drawn out of her, and the hull blown up in September last, in order to clear the channel, after all attempts to weigh her and her cargo had failed, during which latter operation, the forestay, on which the plaintiffs asserted that the light had been seearely fastened had been partially exposed to view, but no traces had been found thereon of any iantern or anything else which might lead to the conclusion that any light had'been exhibited. In addition to this piece of evidence, it was also proved, by the passenger of the Duchess of Kent, that the mate of the By ron, who was not examined on account of his alleged absence at Seville, had confessed that no light had been shown, but that the truth was, they were about to do so when the acci dent hapPened. - Sir F. Pollock having replied on the whole case in a very able address to thajury, His Lordship summed up the evidence, on both sides in a narrative form, and left it to the jury to say, first, whether the position taken up by the Byron was a safe and proper one ; and secondly, whether any light had been exhibited by her crew. If the Byron has taken up her anchorage in the channel so as to incur danger, still it was necessary for the defendants to show that they had exercised that due care and attention in the navigation of the steamer as would have pre vented the collision, and to try that question it was necessary to see whether there had been any light exhibited by the By ron ; if so, then, though in the fair channel, she had done all that was required of her, and the defendants not having seen that light, must be held not to have kept a proper look-out for it. On the one side was the direct testimony of the crew of the Byron that the lantern had been shown, and also that of the pilot on board the Lady Rowley, who swore that he, saw it for five minutes at least before the collision took place ; and on the other there was the indirect oaths of the steamer's crew and the passenger, who had sworn that they saw no light, and that if there had been they must have seen it. Between these two the jury were to decide ; it' they should think that there had been a light exhibited on board the By ron, then undoubtedly the plaintiff's were entitled to recover the value of the goods lost in consequence of this unfortunate collision, The jury consulted for a few moments, and returned a var dict•for the defendants. In another cause which stood next in the Piny against the same defendants, at the suit of the owners of the Byron, the plaintiffs then withdrew the record. It is stated that this is the first instance (among the very many collision cases that have been tried) in which the owners of a steamer have obtained a verdict, so irresistible hitherto ha:s been the prepomsession of juries the other way. IMPORTANT CASE OF LIBEL. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—SATURDAY, DEC. 21. (Londoa Sittings, before Lord Chief justice TINDAL and e -.. Special fury.) • RAWSON AND OTHERS V. WAY. This was an action of libel, to which there were pleas of not guilty and a jtistitreatiOn. The Solicitor-General, with Mr. Wightman and Mr.—, appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Kelly ; Mr. Shea, and Mr. Henderson for the defendant. The Loen . Cfrtee Justroz, Upon perceiving• the nature of the case as disclosed On the record, suggested that it was one which it was most particularly desirable should be referred to some gentleman at the bar, who would say what was just and proper between Abe parties. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, he was always most anx ious to adopt any suggestion thrown out by his Lordship, but in the present case the credit and character of the plain tiffs as merchants were so deeply concerned. that be could not enter upon any terms until the defendant had retracted in the most complete manner every imputation against them. Mr. KELLY inquired whether the plaintiffs were willing in turn to acquit the defendant of the charges which they had brought against him. • The SOLICITOR-GENERAL declined to enter into any bar gain on the subject, and the case proceeded. He said that his clients, Messrs. Rawson, Norton, and Co. were merchants in this city, and that the defendant was a member of the firms of Hay and Jack, in the Mauritius, and of Hay and Mellis, in Bengal, where he had an indigo - plantation. The present action was one of the greatest importance to the plaintiffs, who felt compelled to bring it against the defendant for a libel, reflecting seriously upon them as -merchants and as men of honour. Melars. - Rawson and Co. had for some time acted as agents in:England for the firm of Hay and Co. of the Mauritius. That agency continued until the month of November, 1837. About August in the following year, the defendant prepared a circular letter, and addressed it to va rious merchants and others who were in the habit of dealing with the house of the plaintiffs, or were otherwise acquainted with them. It was of that circular Messrs. Rawson and Co. now complained, and its nature was such as to force them for the defence of their mercantile character and credit, to adopt the present proceedings. It commenced in the follow ing terms :—" Mr. James Hay, finding that Messrs. Rawson, Norton, and Co. of London and Liv e rp oo l, hi s di sc h ar ged agents, have been eirculatiug regarding him certain slander ous documents, thinks it necessary to state the plain facts of the case, and to leave to intelligent merchants to judge be tween him and this much boasting firm, whether their con duct has not been most improper, an d s u c h as to render it ne cessary for him to take the. legal steps against them which he has pursued." The legal steps here alluded to were concern- ing an ittjvnetion, for which the defendant applied to his honor the Vice-chancellor,rto prevent the plaintiffs acting any uiore as his agents ' • but that application wa s no t, u lti ma t e l y acce d e d to. The circularthen went on to state various business trans actions between the parties-,at great length, the tendency of all which, the learned council submitted, no man could doubt, was highly injurious to the character of the plaintiffs in the iner cantile world, and exceedingly calculated materially to affect their credit and reputation. Iu another part of the same do cument, and towards its conclusion, were these strong and objectionable terms :—" Mr. Hay certainly deemed this to be abominable conduct,"- alluding to some transactions by the plaintiffs. He (the Solicitor-General) trusted that, as the defendant had cast all these imputations upon the course pursued by the plaintiffs, he would attempt to prove the case ; but he hoped that if such were not done, the jury would not be satisfied merely with-at speech from his learned friend, Mr. Kelly, which, however able it might be, would not dis turb the facts that would be proved before them of the pub lication of the libel to parties with whom the plaintiffs had dealings, and to whom they were known. The amount of damages that the jury - would award to Messrs. Rawson and Co. would be important, in as far as they would be the esti mate of the sense they entertained of the libellous article, and of the injury it would be calculated to inflict upon the cha . racter of mercantile . ineu. He thought they would be of opinion, upon the . determination of the case, that the charges had been made by the defendant in the most delibe rate manner ; that they had been persisted in until the mo ment of trial; and-would, perhaps, be attempted to be made out and justified now. He trusted that if such were the course pursued by the defendant, the jury would award such damages as they themselves would expect if placed in similar circumstances, in order to redeem their character from as persions such as theft cast by Mr. Hay upon the present plaintiff's. He had now concluded, and would ,proceed at oncelo call ~ vitesesees before them, who would prove the facts he had already stated, and, he confidently anticipated, entitle his clients to a verdict at their hands. The following witnesses were then called : Jeremiah Garnett—l am of Clithero, and am a spinner of cotton, and also export that article to India. I have had dealings with the plaintiff's house for many years. I have consigned goods to their houses in Calcutta, and other pla= ces in India. The paper I have in my hand was received by me at Clithero. 1 know Mr. Hay the defendant. The transactions I have had with the plaintiffs have been to a considerable extent, exceeding £50,000. Cross-examined-4-l. received the circular myself, and opened it. I have not directly corresponded with defendant so often as to know whether that circular bears his hand writing. It was sent August 7,1838, and was signed " James Hay.' . _ The circular was put in and read. At the end of the printed portion of it were words written, addressed to the witness, and to the following effect :—" I think it right to hand you this statement to protect myself from any slan derous reports by Messrs. Rawson and Co." Ellis- Were—l am- brother to Mr. Hay's clerk. The di rection on that circular is in my brother's hand-writing. r gave one of them away to a gentleman. I received it from the defendant's counting house. Cross-examined—I have no connection with the -defendant. My brother gave me the one paper I received at the defend ant's. counting-house. That was about a twelvemonth ago. John -Clifford was called, and about to be examined, when Mr. KELLY said that he would not trouble his learned friends to proceed further, and he only felt regret that he had not the opportunity of performing that, before the learned solicitor-general's speech, which he now did, with such satis faction to himself, of doing all in his power to repair whatever injury might have been, sustained by the character of the plaintiff's, or by'thelr frmlings. On the part of Mr. Hay hp hesitated not one moment to state in the most clear. Plaht, and unequivocal form in which language' could express it, that every imputation was withdrawn by the defendant that had been cast upon the character of Messrs. Rawson and Co. To whatever length the present proceedings had gone, he should have felt bound, from the instructions he had received from his client, to state this. Having made his dis claimer, lie (Mr. Kelly) should beg to say a few words with regard to the real sentiments of the defendant. The paper upon which this action was founded was undoubtedly written, and, to a certain extent, published by Mr. flay ; but it had been so written and published under feelings of strong ex citement. In it the jury would see Mr. Hay referred to some supposed publications that were injurious to his cha racter, and which he had imagined were the productions of the present plaintiffs. In those suppoSitions he no w b e li eve d he had been entirely mi s taken. lie -acted, however, under the strong excitement resulting from that imagination, and without such a strong attention to the real facts as he would • have given in cooler moments of reflection. Such were the statements the learned counsel said he had to sulaniit on be half of his client, He had been instructed by that gentleman to do all iri his power to remove every kind of imputation from the plaintiffs' character. He trusted that both parties would leave court that day with reputations perfectly clear and free from any reflections upon them. Ile had now only to thank the jury for attention, and to rejoice that the case would have so satisfactory a termination. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that after the statement just made of the defendant, his clients, being indemnified for costs, were quite willing to allow the action to terminate here. Chief Justice TINDAL having remarked that it was the most satisfactory conclusion for the case. The jury found &verdict for the plaintiffs. The court rose at an early hour, the other special jury hav ing been dismissed under the expectation that the above cause would occupy the entire day. GR.ANb JUNCTION RAILWAY.

The market is steady to-day, atthe closing prices of last week ; the sales are about 4000 bales of all kinds, 500 Surat at 4id to 51(1, some Biazil at previous rates, and American 8d to Sid. • LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, DEc. 23. We had a shorter supply to-day of Beef and Mutton ; the best Beef was in good demand, and higher prices obtained. Prime Sheep went off readily at our last quotations ; best Beef 6ld, mid dling 53d to 6d, inferior 4id to sd, best Wethers 7d, middling and Ewes 60, inferior Sheep 5d to 6d. Number of Beasts 1210 ; Sheep, 5470. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, DEC. 21. The principal imports, since Tuesday, are about 5000 qrs. of Oats and 8000 loads of Oatmeal from Ireland : the arrivals of .Grain and Flour have been unimportant. At Tuesday's market we had a moderate demand for old Wheat, and prices were firmly supported. The business since has not been to any extent ; still, the transac. tions do not warrant any pal ticular alteration of currency, and we have again to note several small purchases for shipment to Ireland and coastwise. The town dealers have taken off a fair quantity of Irish new the best runs of red at 7a to 7s yd, and one parcel of white realized 83 3d per 701b5.. Oats and Oatmeal have both ex perienced a limited demand, and late rates are barely sustained : the best rnealing Oats are held at Sc 11 d per 4.51b5.,,and Oatmeal at sfis pep load. Ditty-paid American Flour has met a free sale at last quotations, and upwards of 3000 barrels of bonded have changed hands at 31a per barrel, which is Gel under the rate obtained on the previous week. Roth' Malting and grinding:Barley have been in request, the test sample, of rrenen ann nagnsu tht 'realer at 441. to 45s per imperial quarter, and good sweet Baltic at Is ad to Is 6d per bulbs.: Irish new has met with little notice. There has been more inquiry for Peas and Beans both old and new move off pretty freely at these rates. LIVERPOOL Pit: Acmes CES CURRENT. MADDER, IN MI. S. d. s. d.
