Pray what did you think of the recent eclipse, The subject, it seems, is on overt' one's lips ; I presume, like myself, that you could'nt see much, On account of the gloom of the day being such. But didn't your thoughts irresistibly run, On the bright shining fame of E. MOSES and SON ? I frankly confess that my bus 3 thoughts strayed, To MOSES and SON, who eclipse all the trade. Yes, I thought of the manner this Dress-mart equips, A manner so likely to cause an eclipse. Messrs. MOSES, I thought, in the tailoring trade Had cast competition completely in shade ; And in proof of these sweeping assertions I'd show, The suit I obtained at their famous depot : If yon look at the waistcoat, you're forced to admire, The taste of B. MOSES and SON in attire; And the neatly cut trousers and elegant coat, Do credit to MOSES and add to their note. And hence I repeat, as I've heretofore done, That none can eclipse Messrs. MOSE , . and SON. A new Work, entitled" THE DRESSING-ROOM COMPANION," Containing a detailed List of Prices, with full Directions for Self- Measurement, may be had on application. or forwarded post-free.

Much alarm was caused in Kendal Cr; 11Lnday morning last, in consequence of the delay of the train due at a quarter before twelve o'clock, and its arrival two hours after, brought the tidings that a fearful collision had taken place near Milnthorpe, involving a great destruction of property, with the loss of one, if not more lives. Various rumours were abroad ; but we believe a luggage train from the south had preceded the passenger train by a short distance, and in order to give the latter an opportunity of passing it at Milnthorpe, had moved off the down-line on to the up-line, where it was left remaining. The luggage-train consisted of forty-one carriages, and had an engine both before and after it. In conse quence of its great length, it could not be placed on the sidings, and was therefore " shunted" off, as we have said, on to the up line. While thus waiting, a cattle-train, containing upwards of 160 fat cattle for the Manchester market, came dashing on at a speed of 25 miles an hour, and whether it was imperfectly signalled, or not signalled in sufficient time, it ran into the other train with a fearful crash. The sight is described as appalling. The rails were torn up for several yards, and a scene of havoc was presented which baffles description. The two engines that came into collision were smashed to pieces, and the carriages and tr uc k s strewed the grounds in all directions and in all posi tions, while the poor beasts were many of them most shockingly maimed, and lay helpless one upon another, uttering, in their torments, the most terrible cries of agony. Some of them were thrown on the fire-pan and literally roasted alive, while one of them was thrown under the engine, where a stream of hot water was poured continuously upon it, presenting an object of pain, we are told, such as was hardly ever before witnessed. Some of the animals took the op portunity of escape, and gallopped away, and have not yet been recovered. The two engine -drivers belonging to the luggage -train were off their engines we are told, in an adjoining public-house, and the stoker, seeing the cattle train dashing onward, jumped off and escaped with only a few bruises. The northern end of the Milnthorpe station presents a considerable curve, and also an incline, and a train coming in that direction could not see the red flag, which is the signal to stop, till within fifty yards of the spot, unless a man had been sent forward about a quarter of a mile towards the other point of the curve. But we are told the driver, who will be well remembered as being on the Medusa when the unfortunate nip Gawin lost his life, shortly before the opening of the line at Birklands, was dashing on at a fearful rate, in violation of all the rules laid down to be observed on nearing a station. The stoker who accompanied him was thrown out, and both severely bruised and scalded, and after lingering in great torment, without the slightest hope of his recovery, he died on Wednesday. There existsa strong feeling that throughout there was gross neglect on all sides It was not known that a cattle train was coming, but if had th e h e e e n n g a i n t e- th d e r i iry post e r s ,i t belonging is thought to t t h h e e y luggag em i g h t . train have succeeded in backing their carriages, so as to allow sufficielongnt space e d o .The h f e r e t n h g e i n o e t - h d e r r i v e t r r a o in f t t h o e a r e r a e t s t t le i t thead-train, who is known by the expressive but somewhat coarse soubriquet of " Hell Fire Jack," is in custody, we understand, at Lancaster. The train from the south came up about ten minutes after the accident, but the havoc that had been made prevented it from proceed ing ; and on the arrival of the north train, an hour and a half after, a transference of passengers, from each train was effected, and the carriages returned. Mr. Worthington, the managing engineer of the line, was fortunately in the train from Lan caster, and evinced the utmost promptitude and energy under the trying circumstances. Men were gathered from every available point, from Shap, Tebay, Clifton, and a force of upwards of a hundred hands was soon mustered, clearing the rails of the wreck with which they were strewed, and replacing the rails which had been torn up. The line was perfectly re stored by the afternoon of the following day, wken every trace of the sad affair was removed. Mr. Hasell and the other directors also visited the spot immediately on hearing of the catastrophe, and Mr. Hasell has announced his purpose to be present at the inquest. It was fortunate there were so few human lives put in jeopardy. One of the engines which has been destroyed (Mountain Ranger) was a very power ful one, and both of them, though they had been some time in use, were in capital working order. The loss to the company, it is supposed, cannot be less than 5,0001. A coroner's inquest was held on Friday, when after a lengthened inquiry a verdict of " Acci dental death" was returned.—Kendal Mercury. ACCIDENT ON THE NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—There was an accident on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway on Saturday night. The half past six train from Carlisle ran off the line near Broadwath, owing to the blocks being uncovered, and the crank of the engine-wheel breaking, fortunately the engine was speedily brought to a stand. The passengers immediately got out much frightened, but none of them injured (with the exception of a man who got two teeth knocked out), and they were con veyed to Wetheral by the train which came up from Newcastle, about half an hour afterwards.— Carlisle Journal. CHOLERA MORBUS IN THE EAST. Our Malta correspondent announces the receipt, on the 4th of October, at that island, of intelligence from Trebizond to the 19th of September, up to which date the cholera, which had manifested itself in that town on the night of the Bth, and had, up to the 15th, been rapidly spreading, but afterwards declin ing, had carried off 133 out of 360 attacked. This disease had also broken out at the close of August in Bagdad, where, on the Ist of September, out of six teen attacks, six had proved fatal; but at Kars and Erzeroom, on the 4th idem, it had nearly ceased, leaving only a few isolated cases of a mild type. The Austrian steam-packet Stambool, which arrived at Constantinople from Trebizond, on the 21st of September, with 256 passengers, had had three cases on the voyage, of which two died, and the third was not likely to survive. She was ordered to ride out a quarantine of ten days at the Dardanelles. On the 4th of October the Board of Health at Malta came to a determination that vessels arriving from ports were the Cholera exists, having actually on board cases of sickness or death, or having had either the one or the other within twelve days previous to arrival at Malta, will not be permitted to enter even the quarantine har bour, but must remain cruising on and off the har bour for such number of days as the Board of Health may decide. Upon the report of the quarantine phy sician who will go alongside such vessels, and obtain the necessary information as to the nature of the disease, the Board of Health will then fix the number of days before such vessel can be allowed to enter the quarantine harbour, and they will be subject then to perform such rcsu c c i hp u e m ri sta od n o c f es ofquarantine as the board may, under the case, think proper to impose. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 17.—We have great pleasure in announcing that it is the intention of the Admiralty to form a Channel squadron for permanent service in the British seas. This is as it should be, and we con gratulate the country upon the commencement of the naval defence of En g l an d . — Naut i ca l St an dard. A recommendation h av i ng emana t e d from the (late) Surveyor of the N avy ' s off i ce, urg i ng that as great deterioration att en d s new ships from t h e i n fluence of tropical climates, and su b m i tt i ng t h a t as far as pos sible all new ship s s h ou ld remain in ordinary for a certain period before b e i ng comm i ss ioned, viz.: Sloops two years ; frigate s an d ships of the line, three to four years; and that no sloop should be launched until her frame a n d planking have been seasoned at least two years, and frigates and ships of the line from three to four- years • and further, that all small vessels sh ou ld b e planked with teak or mahogany, provided it can be procured on reasonable terms compared with English oak, by which means vessels would be more eligible for service in the tropics, and a great saving in the expense of repairs would be effected ; the Lords of the Admiralty have adopted such suggestion, and issued an order to the heads of all the dockyards to observe and carry into effect its provisions. Now, there can be no doubt about the salutary effect the observance of such an order must have in the better building of her Majesty's ships; such an order, or a very similar one, has been promulgated on more than one occasion since the Surveyor of the Navy was last appointed; but how comes it that it was never observed with regard to the construction of his own ships ? All the Surveyor's first produc tions were hurried off the stocks and sent to tropical climates—the Vernon, Snake, Serpent, Vestal, Pique, Spartan, and a host of others for instance. This order at once stops the progress of all the new ships ordered to be laid down in the present year, many of whose frame timbers are converted and placed on the slip. Fincham's Plumper would have been up in the frame in another week, but now her timbers must lie untouched. Such an order, therefore, as that just reproduced by the Surveyor after his retirement from office, looks very like the realization of the fable of " The Dog and the Manger." Their Highnesses the Prince and Duke of Hol stein Glacksberg arrived at Gosport on Friday after noon and put up at the Railway Hotel, whence they visited the numerous objects of interest abounding in the neighbourhood, and left the same nightfor South ampton by the South-Western Railway. The Firefly steam surveying vessel, Commander D. Buchan, was paid off, " all standing," as it is called, the dockyard along s" all standing" is as s y i e d s e t e t r h d e a yox, bolus. .h a u T I h e d i o p ff ay firnogmo ff complete a piece of humbug as can be imagined. It consists in unreeving and returning the far greater portion of the running rigging, and a considerable portion of the stores, striking topmasts, and "making all snug," ostensibly, that on immediate or ultimate re-commissioning the vessel may be so far advanced in her refit. Nothing can be more fallacious than such a supposition. No sooner is the pendant re hoisted than the new commander takes the oppor tunity of undoing everything that has been left appa rently complete by his predecessor, and the vessel is sure to be stripped to the girtlines. So that instead of gaining time and saving money by this method, there is always considerable loss thereby, as the new hands, being all strangers, are never so adroit at the stripping as the original crew would have been. Be sides, the stimulus of " stripping to be paid off" is wanting. In the case of the Firefly, the vessel has been in harbour twelve days, in which time many a ship of the line has been completely dismantled, with a clean swept hold. Why not have employed the crew of the Firefly in a similar way? It appears that the vessel could not have been paid off before, the pay books not being prepared. The crew might therefore as well have been employed in doing that which will employ another crew a fortnight or three weeks more, as have been standing idle. Very in different economy this ! The Pembroke, 72, advanced ship, was brought from her moorings yesterday to be overhauled and caulked in dock. Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., went out yes terday in the Myrtl e s t eamer t o Spithead, and in spected the Cambria n , 40 , C ommo d ore Plumridge.

THE USE or AUSENIC.--As many sad catas trophes havo been caused by the use of arsenic inadver tently taken for flour, in addition to the use made of it for the commission of crimes, it is proposed by the Council of Salubrity of Paris, that all persons who, whether for the destruction of vermin or otherwise, keep arsenic on their premises, should mix with it Prus sian blue, to change the colour, and nux vomica, the bitterness of which would immediately cause the pre sence of arsenic to be detected by the taste of that ingredient.— Galiynani. Lord and Lady Holland entertained Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston and a distinguished party to dialler last evening at Rolland BOUSO MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, SATURDAY EVENING. POST.—The intelligence from the United States, brought by the steamer Britannia, was considered good. No more failures had occurred at New York, and the exchange on England is quoted at the some what higher rate of 8/ to 9 per cen t. p rem i um . Cotton was lower, owing to the improved prospects of the new crop, which seemed likely, after all, to reach two and a quarter million bales. The exports gene rally to Europe had fallen off to so great an extent that vessels taking in cargoes could scarcely obtain sufficient for ballast. The circumstance of no further accounts having been received from General Scott was construed in a sense favourable to the completion of an arrangement with Mexico, since it was known that but little delay would be allowed for delibera tion, and that, in the event of an attempt to gain time, the city of Mexico would be entered by the American forces. The New York stock markets were rather better than last reported, but it is to be observed that the worst advices had not yet come to hand from this country. A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Lya ll, Brothers, and Co. was held to-day, at which the fol lowing balance-sheet was presented to them : LY.A.LL, BROTHERS, AND CO.—STATEMENT OF AFFAIRS, SEPT. 30, 1847.

It is understood to have been prepared by Messrs. Quilter and Ball, the accountants, who were judiciously engaged for the purpose by the solicitors to the estate, Messrs. Crowder and Maynard. Certain explanations were made to the meeting, which ap peared to be well received. It was stated, for instance, that there were dependencies at Calcutta, amounting to 60,000/., not yet remitted, but that Messrs. Lyall, Brothers, and Co., refrained from bringing forward the item, as it was impossible for them to form any thing approaching to an accurate estimate of what might be netted from this source, although it was hoped that Messrs. Lyall, Matheson and Co., would be able, by the sacrifice of the partners' capital in that house, which amounted, at the last stock taking, to 110,000/., to meet all their engagements. Some fur ther remittances may, it appears, be looked for on this account by the three succeeding direct mails. The friendly feeling which prevailed among the parties present must have been gratifying to the partners of the unfortunate establishment. The suspension of the firm of Messrs. Frederick Barnes and Co., who have been extensively engaged in the exportation of guns, swords, iron, and other implements, to the colonies, and other business, was announced in the course of the morning. The house was very respectable, having connexions at Birmingham and Sheffield, and its failure is much to be regretted. Its liabilities are estimated at about 50,0001. or 60,0001. Discounts were very high at the Bank of England to- day. As much as 8 per cent. was said to have been the rate taken. It will have been an important day at Liverpool, a large amount of American remit tances having fallen due. In London, a very considerable sum, which came over by the same packet, will be payable on Monday. TIMES.—A. meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Thomas Usborne and Son, whose suspension took place at the end of August, was held to day, when the fol lowing was the statement presented : Dr. £. s. d.

Usborne having made a proposition to pay I Is. in the pound in the following manner, namely, 7s. on the 16th of November, 2s. on the 15th of February, and 2s. on the 13 th of May, the meeting agreed thereto. With regard to the Abingdon Bank, the stoppage of which was mentioned yesterday, it is understood that Mr. Luard, the manager of the . London and County Bank, left London this morning with the ex pectation of making arrangements by which it may be enabled to resume business. Should this step suc ceed, the concern will henceforth be carried on as a branch of the London and County Bank. Letters from Liverpool this morning state the pressure for money to have been more heavy than had yet been experienced. The failure of three jobbers in the share-market, named Wotherspoon, Stewart, and Langton, is mentioned, and it is said that the former was three months since worth 83,0001., upon which he was about to retire. It is likewise added that Messrs. Peter Cornthwaite and Co., wholesale tea dealers, have suspended, with liabilities to the amount of 40,000/.

[PRICE SD. to nearly 3,000,0001., and the fact of a notice motion having been given to convey to a body of directors the power of playing with this sum by loaning it on the securities of " established railway or other companies incorporated by Act of Par liament," furnishes, perhaps, a stronger instance of the way in which the existing mania is draw ing everything into its vortex than has yet been met with. Even if the prospect of investing money under present circumstances in deben tures, with a chance of being paid off some seven or eight years hence, when Consols may be again at 90 or 100, were not sufficiently unfavourable to induce a public company to pause before taking such a step, the doctrine that as trustees for the public they are not entitled to touch any securities but the best (whatever temporary speculative gain may seem to present itself) should effectually operate against it. During the past two years the cry that " nothing could be better" in the shape of a security than the liability of an established railway company has been industriously reiterated, but most of those who have locked up their money in debentures have already discovered that they have made an unprofitable bar gain, and this discovery is not likely to be weakened. Sooner or later the old conviction will re-establish itself, that the security of the faith and property of the entire nation must always, except in times of delusion, stand higher than that of works carried on by indivi duals, which (as was the case with canals and turn pike roads) are liable at any time to be superseded or depreciated, and the obligations in connexion with which may, whenever failing revenues shall severely try the morality of their managers, be made, through the loose wording of a deed or an Act of Parliament, the subject of protracted litigation. STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE.—LEEDS, OCT. 15.—The continued scarcity of money still very much restricts operations in this market, though there is no corre sponding depression in prices. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET.—LEEDS, OCT. 15.—The amount of sales this week has been small, and prices are rather in favour of the buyers. LEEDS.—We have had rather duller markets at our Cloth Halls since this day week than for several weeks past. The want of confidence consequent upon the recent heavy failures and the pressure in the money market, has completely stopped any pur chases on speculation. The principal demand appears to be for good beavers and other heavy articles for the home trade, but in goods for shipping there is nothing doing. Prices are without alteration. There has not been quite so many buyers in the town this week as last, and consequently less business has been done in the warehouses. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—There was an unusually dull market for combing wools. The prices fell a shade, but staplers are not anxious for sales at the reduction, on account of the difficulty of replacing their stocks at reduced prices from the producer. There is no improvement in the yarn market, but rather the contrary. The spinners are lcurtailing their trade operations as much as possible; the trade is in a very depressed state. There was a dull market for pieces. The stocks in the manufac tories, from all accounts, are very low. There was no alteration in prices ; indeed a reduction, accord ing to the present prices of materials, would be ruinous. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING. —We have had so little doing in cloth this week, owing to the complete want of confidence that exists, that a re port of our market is all but impossible. The only business doing is for the country trade, and this is on a limited scale. Prices nominally as on this day week. Yarns are a little easier to buy, but as the close of the shipping season for the north is at hand, the spinners are likely in the present state of things to have most dreary prospects. DUNDEE.—The linen trade is still languid, and prices are declining. The demand for flax has much decreased, and reductions have been made which, it is said, will be followed by others. NOTTINGHAM,—The wrought hose branch of the cotton stocking trade at Nottingham has settled down to a point, scarcely equal to one-tenth of the quantity required to keep the hands in full work, while the cut-up branches have still more fallen off. The cotton glove branch is very dull, but the silk glove trade, after lingering for some months, is a shade worse, and the hands in mnny instances have less employ. ment. The cotton bobbin net branch has suddenly imprc.ved, and we see on all sides the bundles and handkerchiefs of net upon the move to the ware houses ; still the machine owners are in a very de sponding condition, the price for net having been lowered to a ruinous rate in many instances. The cause of this stir we conceive to he the Leipsic fair, which is now in full activity. From what is now going on it is evident that the Americans will shortly he enabled to supply themselves with hosiery, as they have done several other manufactures, the aim of Congress being for a long time to become independent of Europe for productions, and especially of England. The cotton warp lace trade is still further amended, and some of the houses have increased activity. The silk warp net is, however, in a very depressed condi tion, and considerable reductions have taken place in the actual amount of wages given, the frame charges being enormous; we have beard of 140-inch frames paying 17s. a week frame rent.—Nottingham Review. LEICESTER. — We have no alteration in our market to report this week. The pressure on the money market continues, and seems likely to do, making discounts very dilicult, and the rates of interest un usually great. There is, therefore, extreme caution used in all branches of the manufacture. Wools and yarns remain without alteration.—Leicester Journal. THE IRISH CHARACTER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIE,—Now, while certain charitable scribes would fain persuade the English public that the Irish cha racter is absolutely " all evil ;" that Nicoll's words, " The blackest heart hath signs to tell That God still lingers there," may be true, provided the heart be not an Irish one, permit me to refer you to a memorable instance of Irish sympathy with the Saxon in his hour of need. After the great fire of London, when many thou sands of its inhabitants had not a roof to shelter them—when they were without house or home, or wherewithal to purchase a morsel of food, then do we find that the Irish consulted together, and sent over thirty thousand head of cattle to help the Londoners over their difficulties. By publishing this note you will much oblige, Your very obedient servant, SAMUEL MURPHY LANGLEY. 23, Vauxhall-bridge-road, Westminster, October 15, 1847. QUESTIONS IRIS RATE PAYERS AND LANDOWNERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,— Should you think any of the following ques tions worth making public, or if you take them as topics of discussion for general benefit, in either case I shall be satisfied, and remain YOUR CONSTANT READER. Huddersfield. 1. Is there not waste land in Ireland that will take twenty years to cultivate ? 2. Can the poor be better employed than in break.. ing up waste land? 3. Will not one-half of it grow potatoes ? 4. Are not too many of the Irish people satisfied with potatoes ? 5. Cannot any able-bodied man plant as many potatoes as will serve twenty families ? 6. Is it not true that many of the owners of waste land are very poor indeed ? 7. Can they do better than sell one-half to enable them to cultivate the other ? 8. Is not Ireland well situated for obtaining large quantities of fish ? 9. Would not fish be acceptable to eat with pota toes ? 10. Could net fishermen exchange fish for potatoes? 11. Could not all the unemployed be engaged in fishing, and preparing for, or planting potatoes ? 12. Should not every large workhouse have at least ten acres of land for a garden ? 13. Can able-bodied paupers (old or young) be better employed than in cultivating the earth ? 14. Does not idleness produce want, vice, and misery, as sure as industry yields the contrary 9 P.S. We contributed largely for the Irish in this town, but now they must work for their own bread. RAILWAY ACCIDENTS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,--To obviate some of the dreadful accidents that have taken place on railroads by the carriages getting off the line, whereby passengers are liable to lose their lives, pray excuse my troubling you; it is for the purpose of proposing to have a bell placed on the top of each carriage, with a pull inside; the pas sengers would have the satisfaction, if any danger should occur, that by ringing the bell the train would be stopped, and, perhaps, save the lives of many per sons. A proper cover over each bell, to keep them dry, would be rather an ornament than otherwise. If you approve of the plan, perhaps you will give the managers a hint of it. I have no power of doing it myself, not knowing any of the parties. Yours, ice., A CONSTANT READER' -'7 , 1 4f ,Gut / c' UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. CORPUS CHRISTI COLLEGE.

CAMBRIDGE, OCT. 16.—The Rev. William Hodg.. son, D.D., the respected master of St. Peter's Col lege, breathed his last at a quarter past one this day, at his official residence in Trumpington-street. The Rev. Divine, who was the'37th master since the foun dation of the college, was in the 47th year of his age and 10th of his mastership, having been appointed in 1838, on the death of the venerable Dr. Barnes. The lamented deceased entered the University in 1819, and took his bachelor's degree in 1823, or the year known as " Airey's year," from the fact of the Astro nomer Royal having been senior wrangler on that occasion. The late master of St. Peter's held the honourable rank of eleventh wrangler. He proceeded to the master's degree in 1826, was created B.D. in 1833, and D.D. in 1838, soon after his appointment to the mastership of his college. His name, however, does not appear among the successful candidates for any exhibitions or prizes during his academical career. Annexed to the mastership is the occupancy of the rectory of Glaston, Rutland, and the right of alter nate presentation to the rectory of Knapton, Norfolk, with some other college patronage. The vacancy caused in the presidency by the lamentable dissolu tion of Dr. Hodgson must be filled up within twelve days by the appointment of his successor by the Bishop of Ely, out of one of two candidates whose names are selected and submitted to him by the fellows. Such candidates must be Bachelors or Doctors in Divinity, and if possible, selected from the fellows on the foundation. The late master was universally esteemed in his college, and loved and re spected by all in the neighbourhood of his benefice. PREVIOUS EXAMINATION.-JUNIOR SOPHS.

SHIPWRECK AND LOSS OF LIFE. On Sunday night last, about ten o'clock, a Russian barque, named the Iris, or Bjornberg, 409 tons bur then, bound to Falmouth for orders, and laden with Indian corn, with a crew of twelve men, was wrecked near Gunwalloe. She was from Volo, a port in Turkey, near Salonica. She was observed in the offing near the Lizard, beating about for the greater part of the day, and the crew of one of the Porthleven pilot-boats, supposing the vessel to be in distress, went to her assistance, but a dense fog came on, and they were obliged to return. As night closed in, the wind, which was about south-east, greatly increased, and all the efforts of those on board the barque were unavailing to round the Lizard, and they conse quently cast anchor off Mullion Cliffs, which stayed the vessel for some time, but by the violence of the sea, and being on a sandy bottom, her anchors gra dually gave way, and she at last struck on a rock near Gunwalloe Church, where in less than half an hour she became a total wreck. Three men swam from the vessel to the shore ; three others clung to the rock on which she struck, and were not rescued until assistance was pro cured early on the following morning, when, with great difficulty, ropes were thrown to them from the shore. They were in a very exhausted state and much bruised, the heaviest of seas during the night having passed completely over them. The remaining six of the crew were drifted on a part of the wreck towards Poljew, and met with a watery grave—five of th e bodies were found on Wednesday. f 'Another account states that the crew, suddenly finding themselves within two cable lengths of the eastern shore of Mount's Bay, fearing to wear and stand to westward, came to with both anchors ahead, and cut away fore and mainmasts, but to no purpose; the vessel was quickly dash e d aga i nst the rocks and smashed to atoms. Three of the crew, the carpenter, boatswain, and another man, were thrown in high and ilry on the projecting edges of the cliffs, and continued to climb up to the summit, and, proceeding inland, discovered M_r r . e Harry's farmhouse, where the servants had lit ati Warmth, food, an d to prepare for washing day. fe h l e l Lrt ,s y , afforded to these poor fellow s, w an el d co a me m w es e s r e e ng a e t r once sent to Mr. Nicholas, at Mullion, the agent at that place for Mr. R. Pearce, of Penzance, in whose consular district the sad aceldent happened. At day break a careful survey of the coast was made, and three of the crew were discovered on an insulated rock near the high cliff, a little west of Poljew. By great exertions a fishing-line was thrown to the rock, as a forerunner of a stronger rope, which was fol lowed by a stout hawser; a traveller was constructed, spirits, hot coffee, and bread and butter were quickly passed along the hawser to recruit the strength of the exhausted mariners, who were then hauled success fully from their perilous position to the mainland, at about ten in the forenoon, after an exposure of nearly twelve hours on a small point of rock, over which the sea had ceased not to beat with fearful violence , and to the clefts of which, by only the life and death struggles of men under such awful circumstances, The they had been able to cling for so long a period. hurried into other six poor fellows must havee vessel breaking up ; been eternity at the moment o f t ship and cargo have of cou ni rs .g e h b t e n c g om e e ef a th to e t p al reg l e o n ss.
