On Tuesday last Mr. Alexander Roche (the brother of the unfortunate lady of that name, who was drowned on board the Earl of Wemyss smack) arrived at Bancaster, and soon after wards proceeded to the residence of F. Hare, Esq., the intelli gent magistrate whose name is so well known to the public in this untoward affair, for the purpose of laying au information against Mr. Reeve on a second charge of felony. Mr. F. Hare being from home, he called on the Rev. 11. Hare, another magistrate, and was by him received with his usual urbanity. Mr. Roache having informed that gentleman of the nature of his visit, a summons was issued to Mr. Reeve, requesting his attendance on Wednesday, at eleven o'clock, to answer any charge Mr. Roche had to prefer against him. At the appointed lour Mr. Reeve attended. Mr. Roche having proved that his sister left London with money in a green purse, which she usually carried in a bag or reticule, and having icientified the reticule found on her person as the one she had when she embarked on board the Earl of Wemyss, William Large deposed as follows:—I was on board the Earl of Wemyss on Sunday, the Ist of September. I assisted in taking two females and one child out of the water through the skylight of the cabin. Those bodies were handed to some person on the deck and taken aft; one of these ladies was a thin lady. I noticed a black bag on her arm ; I should not, I think, know the bag. I saw Mr. Reeve and Mr. Green, the chief boatman, round the body of the said thin lady; the bag was on her arm and her body on the dock. Mr. Henry Kitson, of Ringstead.—l was on board the Earl of Wemyss on the Ist of September last. About ten or eleven o'clock I saw Mr. Reeve, and spoke to him. I saw four or five bodies taken out of the cabin through the skylights, among whom were two or three thin ladies. I saw Mr. Reeve take a banS with a-clasp from a stout lady, also her car-rings. sr. r. nritirrcninff ASlllll,Vit yon had better confine yourself to the une bag now the subject ex. investigation, as, if not, I think we may confuse the matter.,' Mr. Ashurst's clerk.—l perfectly agree with you, sir. Mr. Kitton continued—l saw Mr. Reeve turn the young lady on her left side, to take her ear-rings ,out. I also saw Mr. Reeve with a black silk bag, but from which of the he took it I cannot say. I saw glr. Reeve open the bag, and take from it some papers, which appeared to have been used as curl papers, and some pieces of biscuit; also a card, with either Mrs. or - Miss Roche printed thereon, but which Ido not know. I saw him also take a green purse from the said bag : he opened the purse and took out a piece of paper with some writing on it, which paper appeared to be a note or letter. I saw in the purse some silver, and also: a sovereign ; he returned the letter or note into the purse; and put the purse into the bag again; the purse appeared to be.a green silk net purse. I did not see what became of the purse after it was in his hands. I omitted to state that there were three penny pieces in the black silk bag. It appeared to me that there were about thirty or forty shillings in the purse, that isto say, the bulk was about .that size; there might have been sonee sovereigns also, hilt none that I saw. The card now produced . is the card I saw with Miss Roche's name on it; the bag is also precisely the same as the one I saw. Other evidence having been adduced confirmatory of that already detailed, Mr. Hare informed Reeve that he stood com mitted to Norwich Castle to take his trial for a capital felony. The Rev. Mr. Holloway applied for warrants against other per sons implicated in this horrid transaction, which were granted. In the evening Ruthven, the London police-officer, proceeded in a chaise from Dorking to Norwich Castle with his prisoner, Mr. Reeve. FORE FRANCE—COTN.— . of busineis done during STOCK, JAN. I, 1833.

LAMBETH-STREET. _ EXTRAOTIMUYANY CASE OF ARSON.— Friday Jine Walls, a fine smart,looking girl of thirteen years of age, was placed within the bar, before J. Hardwick anti Thomas Walker, Esqrs., on a charge of arson, in setting fire to the house of Mr. Stone, au - extensive farmer, at Barkingside, Essex. Mr. Stone stated that about a month since, the prisoner was engaged by Mrs. Stone to mind the. children, being strongly recommended by a friend as being the child of very respectable parents, and who had lost her father but a short time before. Her conduct up to Tuesday last was unexceptionable, but on that day, at one o'clock, while he and his family were at dinner in the parlour, she came to him and said that the house was on fire. He instantly rushed into the yard, and saw a-quantity of smoke issuing from the front attic window, and on proceeding up stairs, he discovered a bed and bedding in the apartment in flames, which had also by this time reached the door - and par tition, both of which were partially on fire. By prompt assist ance the fire was extinguished, not, however, before the bed, bedding, and other articles of furniture in the room were totally , destroyed. Mr. Stone, in conclusion, said that had the fire oc curred at any other time of day, when the servants and work men would.be ou different parts of the farm, his house and pro perty must have fallen a sacrifice to the flames ; but the men haying come home to - dinner, and being in the house, they were enabled to give immediate assistance. - Samuel Prendergast, one of the officers of the establishment, stated that in consequence of an application to him by Mr. Stone, he, on the evening before, proceeded to his house, and having no doubt, from what he had learned, that the prisoner was the parson who had set the bed on fire, he put some ques tions to her, and she, - without threat, intimidation, or promise, acknowledged the fact. He then took down her atement in writing of the manner in which she had committed the fact, and which she signed. The officer hero handed the statement alluded to to the magistrates, anal produced some of the rem nants of the bedding. Mr. Hardwick asked Mr. Stone if anything had occurred for . some days previous to the fire, to excite the anger or feelings of the prisoner? Mr. Stone replied in the negative, and said that front her general good conduct; and the attention to • his children, she was treated more like one of the family than a servant. The prisoner, who appears very intelligent for her age in reply to the questions of Mr.-Hardwick, said that she had been to schooL and could read 'and write, and knew it was a very wicked thin to take up a candle and set the bed on fire. She had not read anything about fires, but thought-she should like to see a regular good fire. She had heard her cousins at Somers'- town, where she resided before going, into the service of Mr. Stone, talk about girls and boys setting their masters' houses - on tire, and being hanged for it, but when she thought of set ting her master's house on fire, it was with no wish of getting hanged,- but merely, as she staled before, to see a good large fire. She was remanded until Tuesday net. • - - OLD BAILEY SESSIONS. - 'Ann Vickers, a young woman. or mild and delicate appear ance, and who was stated to be married, was indicted for forging a receipt fur •Sl5-1 13s ~ purporting to be written by Madame Folet, the eminent dressmaker, with intent to defraud Eliza, the wife of Colonel Hampton. The:prisoner had been brought up from Dover in custody, on a writ of habeas corpus. The prosecutrix, Mrs. Eliza HamptOn (of fashionable man ners and address,) is the wife of Colonel Robert Hampton, of the Indian army, and now on service in India, or on his return home. The prisoner had lived with Mrs. H., who now resides at 19, Prince's-street, Hanover-square. In February, and at subsequent. times, she ,gave the prisoner £5O, and other sums, to pay Madame Folet on account; and when, at length, she Considered the whole sum paid, the receipt was demanded from the prisoner, who was most confidentially employed. • A re= ceipt was given, after some hesitation, which ultimately turned out to be a forgery, Madame Folet declaring that it had never emanated from her firm; The result was, the apprehension of the prisoner. Mrs. Hampton swore she caused her box to be a , ,arehed by Mr. Turmoil, a friend of hers, in which certain pa pers were found establishing her guilt, and, in addition, it was sworn by , Mrs. Hampton and Mr. Tuffnell, that the prisoner confessed, in their presence only that the receipt was a forgery. In a long and rigid cross-examination, the prosecutrix said she was married to Colonel Hampton, in India, twenty years since. Her husband had not been in England far thirty yenta. Her income was MO a-year. She knew Mr. Tuffnell there. Mrs. Hampton admitted going with that person to various watering places—to Margate, Boulogne, and elsewhere. Her daughter was fifteen or sixteen years of age, and was imbecile. She had empowered the prisoner to pawn plate and diamonds to a large amount, and that fact was fully proved. The hand-writing of the receipt. was proved to be a forgery, and that the money had net been paid Madame - Folet. Mr. luffnell, stated to lie an examiner of accounts, residing at No. 218, Regent-street, con firmed the.preceding witness, as to the main points necessary to sustain the indictment, and admitted his frequent visits and journeys With Mrs. Hanipton. The prisoner, in defence, declared -that the prosecution was a conspiracy to cause her banishment into exile, that she might not appear against her prosecutors at a F.lture time. Baron Vaughan summed up, remarking on the time that had been wasted in cross-examination and inquiries into the charac ters of parties, when the fact to be determined was, whether the prisoner had forged the receipt; and, again, whether she had uttered it, knowing it to be forged ? That was all they had to decide upon; for the mass of profligacy and immorality which they had heard was not a subject ?or their consideration, ex cept as affecting the credibility of the witnesses. Indeed, a stranger entering the court would have supposed he was in the Ecclesiastical Court, in which the guilt or innocence of indivi duals for another offence—one agamstmorals, domestic peace, and the happiness of the married state, was being inquired into. Painful as.it was to have heard the circumstances arising out of the lengthened cross-examinations, yet, as he before observed, they did not interfere with the facts necessary to sustain the in dictment. The learned baron, after stating the law of the case, (observing, the penalty of death had been abrogated,) left the case in the hands of the jurors. The Jury, after a short cousultation, pronounced a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Justice Park (there being other indictments against the prisoner,) asked whether they were intended to be proceeded with ? The Solicitor for the prosecution answered in the'negative. His lordship then inquired of the gaoler of Dover prison, whether he had with his writ of hd6cas corpus one of retnittitur. The gaoler produced a warrant, signed by the mayor cf Dover and another magistrate. It appeared there was no writ of remitiitur, and the prisoner was consequently discharged. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. COURT OP COMMISSIONERS, bASEIGIIALL-STREET, FRIDAY, OCT. IS. BANKRUPTCY OF RICHARD ARMISTEAD, . PROPRIETOR OF THE LIVERPOOL •AIIIPkIITHEATRE. This - bankruptcy has created considerable interest, as the bankrupt is well known in the theatrical circles. He appeared to-d ay un his last examination, and tendered to the Commis sioner and the assignees of his estate an account, which set forth his debts at £16,000, and available assets at £29,000; thus, he would have a surplus of £13,000, after paying 20s. in the pound. He was therefore anxious that the proceedings might be staved, as it was his intention to have the commission superseded : not having committed an act of bankruptcy, and being thus in a condition to meet all demands against him, it would be cruel. and unnecessary to persevere in working the commission further. The solicitor to the petitioning creditor hoped this dream of Mr. Armistead's might be realized, but for his part he thought the account delusive; in the mean time, and until the assignees found out this statement to he correct, he apprehended that the bankrupt was bound to conform to all the rules his situation as a bankrupt required, which line of conduct he had not thought proper hitherto to pursue: the as signees were in total ignorance of the state of his affairs, so re luctant was the bankrupt to render them any assistance; it was ,by mere stratagem that a few books and papers were recovered by Mr. Fleet, a messenger of this court, who had been despatch ed to Liverpool, and succeeded, at twelve o'clock at night, on the 13th of September last, in gettinss possession of them in Silver street, Liverpool, whither they had been removed from the -thantre by the bankrupt's daughter and sou-in-law. Since that event a letter had been taken from his person .in the presence of the.official assignee; it was from his daughter, and com menced, "My dear Papa.—l send you the papers, and direct this letter, under cover, to so- and so (the phrase of the writer). lest it should fall into the hands of the solicitor to the fiat:" from this passage suspicion was naturally excited, and it has been ascertaiued that the papers alluded to in the letter are of , considerable importance, and now in the possession of an at torney, and consequently have never tea irthe hands of the official assignee, in whose p o ss ess i o n t ' properly should be : altogether this was a case which called, r the strictest investi gation. f... lhe Commissioner.—Mr. ArmistOl. have you in the usual way prepared a list of your debtotsaand creditors ? Mr. Armistead said that he could not do so until he went .round to his creditors and debtors; being inexperienced in such matters, he really was not aware he should have been called upon for such a statement; he did not know what was due to him, nor the amount of his debts; probably he 'night that day six weeks be prepared with such a statement. The solicitor to the petitioning creditor then asked " What, then, becomes of the account you have just tendered ? It must, by your own showing, be fictitious. All that we require is, that 'ifiu ease shall be gone through in the regular foriii.”..-They were very anxious to avoid unnecessary expense, which Could he best managed by Mr. Armistead giving them all the facility in his power, and he begged the learned commissioner would im press on , the mind of the bankrupt the necessity of his yielding a willing acquiescence to the wishes of the assignees. The official assignee here intimated s that by the conduct of the bankrupt he was debarred from performing his duty to the cre ditors; instead of aiding and assisting,. the bankrupt had, by suppressing facts and refusing-to give essential information when called upon, thwarted by his endeavours: The Commissioner said he would adjourn the bankrupt's ex amination sine die, as he had done nothing which the law required. It was idle for a man of his education and situation in life to plead ignorance or inexperience ; he should know very well what his duty was in the circumstances in which he was then placed. In any case, it were better for him to conform to the law, as he must be well aware that from the uncertain state of theatrical property, and the dubious character of old debts, the assets he so confidently calculated on might never be realized by one half, if so much. In the account there appeared to his credit £2,000 a-year for rens of the theatre, and a considerable sum placed down for rent of four shops situate under the theatre:- the rent arising from the latter would probably in a great degree depend on the success of the former. He would strongly advise Mr. Armistead to proceed in the regular and honest course, giving assistance to the assignees, which, en far from preventing his superseding the commission, would accelerate that object, if he was prepared to attain it. The solicitor observed, that Mr. Armistead was not quite so inexperienced as he pretended to be: this was not the first but the second time he had been declared a bankrupt, so he knew L very well wh a t was necess ar y t o b e d one . The Com m i ss i oner sa id, th a t, as h e rem arked before, he would ' adjourn the present examination sine (lie, and give the bankrupt his protection for a month, but the bankrupt would distinctly understand that he must give up all - papers, books, and docu ments relative to his business to the assignees, and render them every other assistance in his power; he would require an audit ,of the accounts on Wednesday; the Bth of January, at twelve o'clock. The solicitor then addressed Mr. Bousficld, the registrar, and said there were matters of extreme delicacy on which he should examine the bankrupt, but as it might be painful to the parties to do so in public, Ae wished to he intarmed if it would answer 'the purpose as well to take his depositions out. of court and file - them afterwards. Mr. Bousfield.—Certainly not; von may proceed now, if you like, or if you prefer it you may have a private meeting, when the doors will be closed io all persons but yourselves. The solicitor intimated that be would convene a private meeting. It was stated in court that the claims of several solicitors on this estate' for law charges and costs are very considerable, owing to the bankrupt's having been engaged lately in lawsuits with Signor De Bevis cad other persons of theatrical notoriety.

TILE BATTLE OF NAVARINO.—Nothing can be more strictly applicable than the following illustration of this " untoward event ;"—I became acquainted, a few days ago, with a Turkish naval:officer, who seemed to be desirous of learning how the battle of Navarino was regarded in America. I informed him that, with the exception of a few Greek fanatics, theme was but • one opinion about it, and that it was regarded as an outrage. upon - humanity, only to be paralled by the pitiful subterfuges under which its atrocity was attempted lo be veiled. "Shor tly after the slaughter of e Navarino, the officer charged with de: spatches from the Turkish admiral, waited upon the seraskier, and exhibited a plan of the battle. The old seraskier looked -at it for a few moments, and then threw it aside with disdain, ex. claiming, " That is no plan of the battle !" "No plan !" re-: plied the officer; "I can assure your highness that it is exact' in all its details." " Inshallah !', exclaimed the seraskier; " I can show you a better one, although I have not been theW myself; do you see this?" taking up, at the same time, a scrap of paper containing a few slight scratches with a pen. The officer looked at it more attentively, and discovered a Turk smoking placidly on his divan, and a servant, who had, appa rently, just entered, announcing to his master that three foreign !nuking gentlemen were at the door, and wished to see him. The master was represented as saying to the servant, "ask them to come in, and get the pipes and - coffee ready to do them honour." "I do not, in all this, may it please your highness, see any plan of the battle," was the observation of the perplexed officer. "That is only the key," replied the seraskier; "turn over the paper, and you will see the battle." The officer looked on the other side, and beheld the same - Turk lying bleeding on his divan, with a Russian, Frenchman, and Englishman 'stand ing over him, each armed with a dagger. "Allah Kayrim ! , but your highness is right," exclaimed the officer ; "these sketches give a more correct idea of Christian faith and honour than all our minute and laboured plans of the battle.— Turiesy, , by an American.

SAVORY. ORIGIN OF THE STAMP ON PLATE. The trial of Mr. Savory, for " knowingly having silver plwe in his possession without its- bearing the stamp of the Gold smiths' Hall, which will come on at the Old Bailey Sessions, con • mencing on Thursday, excites considerable interest, not merely amongst the parties engaged in the trade, but amongst the pub lie. A. few particulars relative to the origin of " stamping" of plate, will therefore perhaps prove a matter of some infor mation to our readers.. The following account has been ob tained by a careful examination of various ancient.. documents and printed authorities : In that part of Cheapside which is within this ward (Bread street), stood a beautiful set- ; of houses and shops, called " Gold smith's-row," they were built by Thomas Wood, goldsmith, and one of the Sheriffs of London, in the yeaT.,.1491; It con tained in number 10 dwelling-houses and 14 shops, all in one frame, uniformly built, four stories high, beautified towards the street with the goldsmiths' arms, and the likeness of woodmen, in memory of his name, riding on monstrous beasts; all of which were cast in lead, richly painted over. and gilt. These he gave to the goldsmiths, with stocks of money to be lent to young men having those shops, &c. This said front -.was again new painted and gilt over in the year 1594, Sir Richard, Martin be ing then Mayor, and kseping his mayoralty in one Of them, and serving out the time of Cuthbert Buckle. in that office, from the 2d of July till the 28th of October. The goldsmiths kept their shops and trade in Westcbeap from ancient times, even before-the days of. King Edward 111. until the Clues of King Charles 1., and the exchange for the King's coin was hot far off the place - yet called the " Old Change," as appearS by this record, showing not only the place of the goldsmiths' habitation, but their occupation and business about the coin and plate. Upon the goldsmiths' petition, exhibited to King Edward 111. and his council in parliament, holden at 'Westminster in the first of his reign, showing that no private merchant nor stranger heretofore were wont to bring into this land'any money coined, but plate of silver to exchange for our .coin. And that it had been also ordained that all who were of the goldsmiths' trade were to sit in their shops'in the High-street of Cheap, and that no silver in plate, nor vessel of gob? or silver-ought to be sold in the city of London, except at or in the Exchange, or in Cheap side among the goldsmiths, and -that publicly; to the end that the people of the said trade might inform themselves whether the seller came lawfully by such vessel or not. But that now of late the said merchants, as well private as strangers, brought from foreign countries into this nation counterfeit sterling, whereof the pound was not worth above 16s. of the right ster ling; and IX this money none could know the true value by melting it down. And also that many of the said trade of gold smiths kept shops in obscure turnings, and by-lanes and streets, and did - buy - vessels of gold and silver secretly, without inquir ing whether such vessels were stolen or lawfully come by; and,. immediately melting it down, did make it into plate and sell it to merchants trading beyond sea, that it might be exported. And - so they made - false work of gold and silver, as bracelets, lockets, rings, and other jewels, in which they set glass 'of divers eoloure,..eounterfeiting.right, stonca; and'pat sts;sreailloyln the silver than they ought, which they sold to such as had no skill in such things. And that the cutlers, in their workhouses, covered tin with silver so substantially with such slight, that the Sank could not be discerned, and severed from the tin ; and by that means they sold the tin so covered for fine silver, to the great damage and deceit of the king , and his people. Whereupon the said goldsmiths petitioned the King, that he would be pleased to apply a convenient remedy therein. And he, being willing to prevent the said evil (as the letters patent ran,) did, by and with the assent of the lords spiritual and temporal and the Commons _of the realm, for the common profit, will and grant for. him and his heirs, that henceforth no merchant, either private or stranger, should bring into this land any sort of money, but only plate of fine silver, nor that any gold or silver wrought by goldsmiths or any plate of silver should be sold to the merchant to sell again and to be carried out of the kingdom; -but should be sold at the King's said Ex change, or openly among the said goldsmiths, for private use only; and that none that pretended to lie of the same trade should keep any shop but in Cheapside, that it might be seen that their works were good and right. And.that those of the same trade might, by virtue of these presents, elect honest, lawful, and sufficient men, best skilled in the same trade to in quire of the matters aforesaid; and that they so chosen might, upon due consideration of the said craft, reform what defects they should find therein, and thereupon inflict due punishment upon the offenders; and that, by the help and assistance of' the mayor and sheriffs, if occasion be, and that in. all trading cities and towns in England, where goldsmiths resided, the same or dinance be observed as in London. And that one or two of every such city or town, for the rest of that trade, should come to London to be ascertained of their touch of gold, and there to have a "stamp" of a puncheon with a leopard's head, marked upon their work, as of ancient time it bath been ordained.— These letters patent bore date at Westminster, the 30th of March, in the first year of the King.—London Paper. - THE MARIA ELIZA SCHOONER. We extract the following interestino• account of this vessel from the Newfoundlander of Sept. 24:-- "Thu schooner Maria Eliza, Captain Hughes, which arrived here on Saturday last, from Cork, via Greenland, has been a missing vessel for some months past. She sailed from Cork on the 15th March, for this port, with a cargo of pork, butter, potatoes, &c., and on the 11th of the following month fell in with the field ice by which she very shortly became surrounded. From that period the vessel became the sport of the wind, and current,-and ice, until, on the 30th April, she was driven (still locked up) towards the land, which it was extremely difficult to distinguish from the immense islands of ice' by which it was bounded. After considerable exertion, the_ crew succeeded in getting the vessel through, and found to their great astonish ment they were on the coast of Greenland, some of the natives having pushed off in their canoes. On the 15th May, they entered a small harbour called Nennortelik„ about four miles east of Cape Farewell, very much exhausted from their suffer ings in the ice, and having no fuel or water remaining, and received a hospitable reception from the Danish factor resident there. After some days delay at this place they proceeded along shore—which was only clear of ice for the extent of a mile --to the principal port - Julianahabb, in lat. 61, the residence of the governor, who tendered every assistance flu - his power. About two months after their arrival at this port, a Danish brig, which is annually despatched from Copenhagen with sup plies for the factories, arrived there, and Captain Hughes then finding it would be impossible for • him to get clear of the coast or ice without assistance, concluded on remaining until the brig was ready to sail.—On the 31st August he sailed in company with the brig, and arrived at this port on Saturday last, just six months from the 'time of their leaving Cork. There were two gentlemen passengers on board, Mr. Hickson and Mr. Popham, whose friends had long since mourned for their loss. - During the vessel's detention in Greenland, the agents at the several Danish factories were ever ready to offer their kind assistance, and the native Esquimaux, who appear a simple, honest race, offered very acceptable services. While the vessel was coasting along shore, it was frequently found necessary to tow through the floating ice, which was none by skin boats, rowed by . the native women, who were also very useful in providing articles of clothing for the crew. The winter had set in very severely previous to the departure of the Maria Eliza." DESTRUCTION OF A SHARE • A little boy happened to be washed from a catamaran which was managed by his father, who was thus early initiating him into the hardships of that mode of life which he intended him to pursue, and, before he could be rescued from the tur bulent waters, a shark drew him • under, and he was seen no more. The father lost not a moment, but calmly rose, and placing between his teeth a. large knife, which he carried sheathed in his cummerbund, plunged beneath the lashing waves . . lie disappeared for some time, but after a while - was occasionally seen to rise and then dive under the billows, as if actively engaged with his formidable' foe. It wits a period of painful suspense to those who were anxiously watching the issue from the boats outside the surf. After a while the white foam was visibly tinged with blood, which was viewed with a sensation of horror by those who could only surmise what was going on under the water. The man was again seen to rise and disap pear, so that the work of death Was evidently not yot complete. After some further time had elapsed, to the astonishment of all who were assembled on the beach, for by this time a considera ble crowd bad collected, the body of a huge shark was seen for a few moments above the whitening spray, which it completely crimsoned, and then disappeared; an instant after, the man rose aye the surf, and made for the shore. He seemed nearly ex hattsted, but had not a single mark upon his body, which bore no evidence whatever of the perilous conflict in which he had been so recently engaged. He had scarcely landed, when an immense shark was cast upon the beach by tale billows. It was quite dead, and was immediately dragged — by the assembled na tives beyond the reach of the surge. l t presented a most fright ful spectacle,. exhibiting fatal proofs of the terrific struggle which had ensued between this ravenous tyrant of the deep and the bereaved father. He had indeed taken a must signal re venge. On the body of the huge creature were several deep gashes, from one of which the intestines protruded. The knife had been evidently plunged into the belly, and drawn down ward with unerring. precision, presenting an immense wound nearly a yard long. There were also several deep incisions about the gills, and below the fins; in short, it is impossible to describe the fearful evidences which the. monster exhibited of the prowess. and dexterity of its det e rmined aggressor, who had so toldly_perilled his life to revenge the death, as it was after 'Wards aseeiTaiiied, - or his - Only- child. As strove is the shark was drawn to a place of security, it was opened, when the head and limbs of the boy were taken front its stomach. Ti l p body was completely dismembered, and the head severed from it; the different parts, however, were scarcely -at all mutilated. It would seem that, after separation, they had been immediately swallowed without being submitted to the previous process of mastication. The moment the father saw the truncated remains of the little object of his affection, the habitual coldness of the hide° merged in the tenderness of the parent, and he for the moment gave way to the agonies of his heart. .He threw him s self upon the sand, and mourned his bereavement_ - " With sad unhelpful tears t" but soon recovering his constitutional serenity, he• unrolled his dripping turban, and having placed the severed rema i ns of his child in the ragged depository, bore them to his fragile tenement of bamboo and palm-leaves, in order to prepare them for imme diate cremation. Upon being asked to relate the particulars of his encounter with the shark, he stated, that as soon as he had plunged into the water, which he did et• few moments after the child had been dragged under by his powerful enemy, he saw the monster in the act of swallowing its victim. He in stantly made towards it, and struck it. with his knife upon the gills. By this time it had completely gorged its prey, and did not at all seem disposed to enter upon the encounter to Which it had been so roughly challenged. Having received a second stroke in the gills, Arose towards the surface, followed by its assailant, who kept plunging the knife into Various parts of its body. 'The monster turned several times to seize its adversary, who, dexterously evading the intended visitation by diving under it, renewed his attack with the knife. The shark's ve racity had been so completely appeased by the meal which it had Just made, that it showed little disposition to continue the conflict, until repeated trenchings front the formidable knife of its determined toe roused it to desperate resistance, when it turned again upon its back, though with less activity than these creatures arc wont to do when craving for food;' bit the man dived rapidly under it, and, watching his. opportunity, as soon as the shark regained its natural' position, plunged the keen blade into its belly, and drew the weapon downward with all his strength, thus inflicting that mortal wound which the crea ture exhibited upon the strand. After thin it made a tremen dous splashing for a few moments, then sank apparently lifeless to the bottom. Seeing that the strife was at an end, the man made for the shore, as already stated, and shortly after the huge carcass was cast upon the beach.--Oriental Annual.

About half-past seven o'clock on Tuesday evening a most tremendous gale from the west calne on, attended with hea v y rain and flashes of exceedingly vivid lightning. A very 'her! time previously the pier -master, Mr. Matthews, had returue , from the pier-bead. The pier at that time was in every respect in its usual state. The wind then began to blow wills the great est fury, so that, though Mr. Matthews lives within a few yards • of the entrance of the pier, he heard no crash whatever. ye w persons, of course, were on the cliff during so violent.a storm; but report says that some heard the crash, and saw the lightning play along the chains, and that at one moment theta was a blaze of light at a particular spot. We give these reports as we have heard them, without in the least degree vouching for their accuracy. Although the wind howled, and the waves roared, it is possible that a crash 'nig ht have been heard ; and this is all we can say upon that subjql - In respect to the lightning, we ourselves remarked its %IV', • ness; and when the situation of the pier is considered, com posed chiefly, at least in the upper works, of iron, it is n et improbable that the electric fluid may have been attracted hi the metal; but this is no more than an opinion; there is no proof. or collateral fact to lead to such conclusion. The pier head is lighted by a gas-lamp. To supply this a pipe is eon' veyed along the west side of the pier. In the concussion t he pipe was snapped in two, and the light extinguished of cours e ; but we do not imagine that. the gas in the pipe which runs by the side of the pier could by any possibility have ignited, g' that a flame or blaze could hardly have arisen from' this causo- The violence of the concussion doubtless caused so great 3 friction amongst the rods, caps, chains, railings, &c. as to pr" - •duce a rapid emission of sparks, which, in the darkness - of the night, might easily be mistaken for the effects of lightning: It i s known that such were the effects produced when the A-fla:win; fell in: eye-witnesses describe that event as having been attended with a blaze of sparkling fire. Before we giveany opinion as to the cause of the accidents we will first give an outline of the damage done. • On the entrance of the first bridge from the esplanade, the first suspension-rod and cap on the east side have evidently been moved by some great violence; the cap is . partially unshippeas and all the caps on the bridge appear, judging from the state of the paint, to have been moved, but not in a great degree. 'l'b° # • bridge on the east side is also sunk below the level line several inches. The seventeenth cap add rod on the east were more, violently affecteotthan any other on this bridge, so much—so that some of the iron ornament on the railing was knocked off. The whole of the bridge, independently of the sinking on the east side, is considerably sunk below the level line, owing to the - counteraction of the further bridges being reduced. The main chains are here nearly as perfect as over in appear ance, nor are the first two towers in any way affected, so fa r as the judgment of the eye can be relied on : the sinking of the bridge is probably owing, therefore, to some circumstances not connected with the chains. . . The second bridge is, indeed, a sad ruin. MI the suspen sion-rods on the east side, frOm the 10th, reckoning from the first towers to within twelve rods of the second towers, are bro ken and gone, so that the east side of this bridge dips down very considerably. The flooring remains, but it forms so steep an inclination to the eastward that no person can walk along it; one might as well attempt to walk along the roof of a sharp' roofed house. On the west_ side of this (the second) bridge-- the damage is less.. Many of the suspension-rods, from the 19th, counting from the iirst towers, to the 18th from the second towers, are gone; but a few are left, so that the west, side of the bridge is kept up to nearly the level line. None er the suspension-rods destroyed on this bridge are bent; they are snapped quite asunder, but some of the rods that remain in nearly their former position are considerably bent, and the caP. 5 on the top of them are, some partially and others very cone'' . derably removed. This is important, since it will throw some light on the nature of the' occurrence, as we shall presently at to show. We now come to the second towers ; and here the .work of destruction commences. That on the east has been so vielentlY forced towards the north as to tear up the planking at its base; - and it is now very considerably out of the perpendicular line.- - After it was thus forced up, a re-action of course took place, and - it must have been ponderous indeed. Much of the wooden frame-work below gave way, and this part is now a wreck. The opposite tower suffered less, but here also the wood-work is torn to splinters. The saddles on the top of both towers were evi dently lifted up, and removed from their position; the wood work round the top of the towers, and about the saddles, is in splinters, and even the wooden arch between the towers is rent. This shows how violent the concussion must have been. The , sheet lead on the towers is partially rolled up, but there is no appearance of any fusion, although some persons are of opinion that it was here that the lightning first struck. It then ran along the main chains, and descended the suspension-rods, tilt it came to that part of them which is not painted, (being Co' vexed with the wood of the platform); and here, finding no con doctor to the earth or water, the shock took place. We con fess that this explanation of the matter is by no means satisfac tory_ to our minds. We now proceed to describe the havoc on the third bridge- The whole of thelcentre of this bridge is gone—not a vestige remains. There is no communication whatever left, except by • climbing along the main chains. The whole of the wood-work, the platform, the iron railings, the suspension -rods, caps, and all in the centre, for a distance of 30 or 40 feet, has totally du'"' appeared; 44 suspension -rods, in a distance of about 200 feel , are lost on the east side ; and 30 suspension rods on the west- The platform drops down, a complete wreck, on each side of the chasm in the centre—the planks, nearly up to the towers , being stripped up. Some of the remaining suspension-rods are bent like willows over the side of that portion of the Lriclee which is still standing; others are broken asunder, and the caps of most are gone; but it is singular that one or two rods . still retain their caps, as they bang over the sea or lie across the planking. . We now come to the most extraordinary phenomenon of th whole. Those who have seen the pier will remember that these are four main chains on each side. We now wish to direct the attention of our readers to those on the east. One pair of theses chains were suspended about re inches ever the other Ors which hung exactly beneath the former. When the concussion took place the upper pair of .chains were by some means sePa" rated; and, wonderful as it may appear, one of them wo c ii twisted beneath the lower pair,. passed over them again, and now remains stretched by the sine, hut in the centre considera bly higher, of its companion. This, however, in order to be clearly understood, mast be seen, and it is certainly. one of the most extraordinary thing'. connected with this most lamentable accident. The third pair of towers are also in a dangerous state, havinE been partially forced out of the perpendicular; and the fount' bridge is greatly distressed, and belies down 18 inches , . or per" haps more, towards the sea ; but the outer head, the stone" work, the piles, &c. are not affected at all. We now come to the most difficult part of cur task—what baf caused the accident ? If it were caused by the wind, why ha . not such an accident happened before? There must s urety have been many gales in ten years equal to that of Tues.:tail evening. If then the wind was the cause, why did not the eai*° cause operate sooner ? To these questions we can make 1 1 ° - reply. Scientific men will of course form their own o pinion; but, with all deference, we may observe that we think the steel" dent was owing to the wind solely. The wind, we are assured, was west, not south-west,-as j a s usually the case when we have very heavy gales CO this coe s " On each side of the bridges there are broad boards to c over the iron-work. It appears, then, to us, that a tremendous MA'. must have come suddenly under the bridge, and lifted up L third bridge, in all probability several feet. This operation ° b , the wind would have been assisted by these side boards, AO - tic' tended to confine it. When the bridge was thus heaved n r i lifted up, the suspension -rods, Ilse lower ends of which are fii.;c 3 ` to the bridge, would be easily driven upwards between 0 „ chains, gliding between the bolts, and, carrying the caps 0 `" their (the suspension-rods')teps. Then came the fall, w t he instead of the caps falling in their pluses over the bolts, the fell on one side; and hence nothing but a crash could reselti By the shock the loSver or the upper part, as the case might be, the suspension-rods would be snapped in two, and the bride,; would give way. This violent concusssion on the third bridg would give a jerk to the second, as well as to the first bridges hence we see the suspension-rods of the second bridge bent, but snapped asunder, and the caps on the first leriag' where the shock would be less, partially removed. It is probable, when the third bridge was thus forced iiN wards, that one of the chains on the east side became displac e r e because the caps on the suspension rods being remeved, tl e was nothing to keep them together, and in the descent of t b g briag . e the chain was thrown over its companion. This' view satisfactory to our minds; and we think we shall be borne by scientific men. We fear that it will now he necessary to t e ! l e down the whole of the chains from one end of the pier to t p other, and to re-adjust the towers. Brighton will deeply sympathize with the spirited project b o ; of this structure ; and we trust that our townsmen will net backward in rendering such pecuniary assistance as rosy r r , place the pier in its pristine beauty and stability.—Brighion u° DE AL, OCT. 16.—We were visited last' night, about half-P.af seven o'clock, by One of the most yiolept storms of wind, rals, and. hail, accompanied by tremen dour peals - of-thunder , has been witnessed here by the oldest inhabitant, but its rasq... - 1 ,1 . have not occasioned so much injury as was feared.
