This Company is established with a view to afford the pub lie increased facilities in the conveyance of mails, passengers, specie, and merchandise between England, via Harwich, and the ports of Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, &c. A traffic arrangement for a term of years has been entered into with the Eastern Counties Railway Company on advan tageous terms, and the Directors have secured the co-opera tion of the authorities of the Dutch-Rhenish Railway Com pany, and the other inland navigation and railway establish ments in Holland and Germany, all of whom are so convinced of the advantages to be derived from this line of communica tion, as the most desirable for passenger traffic, and the speedy conveyance of merchandise and perishable goods, that they are anxious to promote the views of this Company to the fullest possible extent. The town of Harwich is 68 miles from London by railway, and its port is the most convenient for direct communication between London and all the great seaports in Holland and Belgium, and thence to the northern and central parts of the Isontinent of Europe. Passengers proceeding to India via Trieste, by Harwich, ';Rotterdam, and the Dutch-Rhenish Railway, will effect a saving of 48 hours, as compared with the route via Marseilles; the line from Rotterdam to Trieste being on the eve of com pletion without a break. The harbour of Harwich is safe, commodious, and easy of access in all weathers and states of the tide —advantages which no other port possesses on the eastern coast south of the Humber. By the opening of this route via Harwich the dangers and delays of the intricate navigation of the Swin and the mouth of the River Thames are avoided, whereby a saving of time is effected to Hamburgh, Rotterdam , an d Antwerp of from 10 to 11 hours ; whilst the route to Oberhausen and thence to the northern parts of Europe is four hours and a quarter less by Harwich and Rotterdam than that by Dover and Ostend, as per tabular statement, and thus the former must become the direct route of postal communication.

Just as a London goods train was slowly starting, a breaks man, named Turner, signalled the train to return for more waggons. In getting on the line to couple the ad ditional waggons to the train his foot got between the rails where a shunting commenced, and he could not ex tricate It before the train came upon him, struck him on the back, knocked him down, and nearly cut him in two. GLASGOW, Feb. 21.—1 n the early part of the week our cotton market was considerally excited, and large sales were made at an advance of Bd. to id. on the prices current last Friday ; but since Wednesday the demand has subsided, and the market closes tame at about hd. advance.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat upon t'ae wool sack at four o'clock, at which time the house presented a very animatecl appearance. The sace before the th r one was crowded, and the galleries at p each side were also very fully attended by ladies. A large number of the members of the House of Commons were present. Mr. Dallas, the American Minister, occupied a seat in the peeresses gallery. Lord SAYE and SELE presented a petition from Hereford, deprecating the bombardment of Canton and the t-xpedition to Persia, and praying that the house would exercise a proper control over the foreign policy of the Government. ROYAL MARINE FORCE BILL. On the motion of Earl GRANVILLE, this bill was read a third time. OUR RELATIONS WITH CHINA. The Earl of DERBY rose to move the following reso lutions :-Ist, That this house has heard with deep re gret the interruption of amicable relations between her Majesty's subject s and the Chinese auth or ities a t Can ton, arising out of t he measures adopted by her Ma jesty'sfoCr an a Chief Superintendent of Trade to obtain repara tionlleged infraction of the supplementary t r eaty of Bth October, 1843 ; 2d, That in the opinion of this house the occurrence of differences upon this subject rendered the time peculiarly unfavourable for pressing upon the Chinese authorities a claim for the admittance of British subjects into C an t on , which had 849, and for supporting the m That in the opinion of this h dl' hostility ought not to have been the empress instructions, pre saeo been se e left undertakenb operations y force in abeyance of to without acme actual-3 vion,ly received, of her Majesty's Government ; and that neither of the subjects adverted to in the fore g )ing resolutions afforded sufficient justification for such operations." The noble lord having presented a petitition from Manchester, deprecating the war, proceded to say that he was now. about to address the highest assembly in the world. He trusted that every one of their lordships would approach this subject in a purely judicial manner, and would look upon it only in referen ce to consid era ti ons of equity, of justice, and of humanity. Above all, he trusted that they would dismiss from their minds every feeling in the slightest degree connected with party or sectarian poli tics. He confessed be stood there as an advocate—an advocate, however, upon the i conviction of thej ustiee of the cause he was there to defend he was certainly an unpaid advocate, an advocate in the cause of polity, of justice, and of humanity, (Hear, hear.) It did not in the slightest degree deter him, the consideration of being obliged to submit this case to the justice of an English audience. (Hear, hear.) Nor was he daunted by the feeling that he Wai obliged to draw his argument from statements and documents furnished by those very psrties whose conduct he was about to arraign. It must be recollected for a great num ber of years this country had carried on a trade with China, and which had been brought to a termination by the tyrannical proceedings that had taken place at Can ton. The noble lord then proceeded to detail the whole of the proceedings oonneolood" ith, ara '4oialure pf -the Arrow, the, bombardment of Canton, and the great de struotion of life that had taken place, and contended that the whole proceedings were a complete violation of the treaty entered into in the year 1845. He was utterly at a loss to conceive how the Chinese lorcha Arrow could be changed into a British vessel. It, was built by Chinese, owned by Chinese, manned by Chinese, and it these things did not constitute a Chinese vessel, he would like to know what did. If the Arrow was a Chinese vessel every title of justific..tion of the seizure fell to the ground. [Gen SPEARING.] HOUSE OF CONMONS—GiIIis Evening.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.

CONSTITUTION HILL. Mr. MA.CA.RTNEY asked the Chief Commissioner of Works whether there would be any objection to re build the wall lately pulled down in Grosvenor-place so as to correspond with the portion standing next Consti tution-hill, and place a railing thereon up to the door way into the park Sir B. HALL said that he proposed to rebuild the wail in the same style and manner as it was before. The only objection he had heard to it was that of `a gentle. man who lived opposite, and wished to have it rebuilt as suggested in the question. He (Sir B. Hall) had no ob jection to it if the gentleman would pay 3001., the dif ference in the cost of construction. LAND 'TRANSPORT CORPS. Mr. T.

He should move a similar motion in ways and means. THE TEA. DUTIES. Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice that in committee of ways and means he should move in the place of the CHIEF from CONSTABLES. p AL Chancellor of the Exchequer's proposal, that the tea duties should be fixed at Is. 41 . in the pound for the ne xt t h ree years, and that then it be reduced to Is, in the pound.

Mr. DEASY asked the President of the Board of Control, whether any reduction had taken place or was contemplated in the number of appointments in the Civil Service in India open to public competition ! Mr. V. SMITH said that no reduction could take place in the number of the appointments referred to, nor was it contemplated. The number of officers was fixed by act of Parliament, and they could only be filled up from deaths or removals. THE LAWS RELATING TO MASTER AND SERVANT. Mr. PELLATT wished to ask the Atterney-General whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Govern ment to bring in a bill to consolidate the Statute Laws relating to masters and servants, and to masters and workmen. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the acts re lating to masters and workmen had been consolidated by the Statute Law Commission, and the bill was now under revision of that body. It would shortly be b roug ht in and laid on the table of the house, and lr wa s not aware that it was the intention of her Majesty Government to introduce ahy other measure. Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE asked the Attorney-Gene ral whether her Majesty's Ministers would object to institute an inquiry (by a committee of this house bor otherwise) into the means by which the distinction d e e: tween suits at I%w and in equity, which had been reca9e from jurisptudcneo of the T.Juitud States, may be abo ? The ATTORNEY-GENERA". said that he should be exceedingly glad to promote any inquiry likely to terminate in the result of abolishing the technical dis tinctions which now existed between suits at law and suits at cqoity—(hear, hear) —which he looked upon a:4 the fouinlaiion atone of any effects 1 reform of our jurisprudence. The Government did ant fit lieva this was a subject that could be properly considered in a commit tee of this house. , The question mentioned "a commit tee or otherwise," and he had to state that the Govern ment had the question of a public department of pullic justice, which, if established, weal be a fitting depart ment to refer this question for consideration.

Boyle, bound to London from Patook, loaded with mahogany, experienced heavy weather, was thrown on her beam ends, and on the sth January became waterlogged. The unfortunate crew took to the rigging, where they appear to have undergone the most dreadful suffering. Four men were washed overboard by the seas which swept over the wreck, and three poor fellows died from starvation. After five days' exposure, the survivors were pros identially observed, and were taken off by the Hamilton, Captain Webster, from Buenos Ayres, on the 10th. As may be supposed the unfortunate creatures were in a very exhausted state. They have since been landed at New York. leasing duty of a journalist to introduce to his readers s ome new discovery calculated to [AnvEansimENLl—lt is e ver a p benefit that vast portion of our fellow-creatures which has the strongest claims upon our sympathies.

Mr. COWPER said that he bad already given notice for leave to introduce a bill to amend the Public Health Act on the sth of March. That bill would be sithilar to the bill referred last session to a select com mittee. Various suggestions had been suggested in it after mature deliberaqon ' and such as ho considered the select committee would have adopted. SARDINIAN MEDALS, &c. Mr. ESMONDE asked the First I, , rd of the Trea sury when the issue of the Sardinian medals and the Order of the Medjidi might be E xpected. Mr. F. PEEL said the lists were not quite ready. As soon as they were, the medals and orders would be dis• tributed without loss of time. THE IRISH MILITIA.

PEEL said Oat a portion of the Irish militia would be assembled this year for training, but be was unable then to state when they would assemble for that purpose. GENERAL BE ATSON. Colonel DUNNE asked the Urder Secretary for War whether a court of inquiry, ordered to assemble to inves tigate charges affecting General Beatson and other officers of rank, was to be kept secret ? Mr. F. PEEL said that this Court of Inquiry for in vestigating into the conduct of General Shirley, relative to his charges against General Beatson would be like all courts of its class, a closed court. It was a court of preliminary investigation, similar to that of a grand jury in civil cases. The parties interestei, and their witnesses, would be present. INDUSTRIAL MUSEUM (EDINBURGH). Sir JAMES FERGUSSON asked the Secretary to the Treasury, whether there wool ! be any objection to lay upon the table, a c)py of the report of t h e Govern ment offieer sent lately ' t ) Edinburgh to report upon the proposed site of the Industrial Museum. Mr. COWPER—There was no report. An officer con nected with the science and art had been sent down to Edinburgh to make inquiries relative to the erection of a building for an industrial museum on a site already pur chased for that purpose. It was no part of his instruc tions to inquire into any matter relative to the present or any other site. (Hear.) THE JOINT-STOCK ACT. Mr. WILKINSON asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer whether it was the intention of the Government to introduce any measure in this session, either by repealing the exemption clause in the Joint Stock Act of last year, or otherwise, which should have the effect of preventing a recurrence of the state of litigation which has taken place in the cases of the Tipperary and Royal British Banks. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the Government were prepared with a measure on the subject of joint-stock banks, and it would be intro duced by the Vice-President of the Board of Trade as soon as the prospect of public business in that house would allow of the question being properly considered.

The plaintiff then declined te become the purchaser, but he was su bsequ en tly applied to to become a pm chaser by Mr. Fabian, also a local manager of the London and County Bank, at Leighton Buzzeril, upon the additional representation that Mr. Law, one of the directors, and also the late Mr. Sadleir, both directors of the London and County Bank, represented that the Tipperary Bank was a most flourishing and lucrative concern. Ultimately the plaintiff purchased 20 shares, 10 from each of the above local maragers, at a premium of 21. per share, they having been represented to him as paid up shares, that the plaintiff would be entitled to the dividend on them, and also to a bonus of 31. per share in the follow,ng year. The plaintiff afterwards received what was re presented to be a transfer of the shares, signed by Mr. J. Austin Ferrall, of Meuntjoy place, Dublin ; and also certificates signed by John and James Sadleir, and a Mr. Keating, certifying that Mr. Ferrell was the owner of the paid-up shares. The plaintiff never heard anything more of the matter till the death of John Sadleir, when the frauds in connection with this , bank were discovered, and the plaintiff then agar tained that the snares he bad purchased were fictitious, as well as the transfers, and that Mr. Ferrall was a clerk in a wine merchant's office in London. The plaintiff had since been involved in litigation in Ire land, but he had so far succeeded that he had been declared not to be a shareholder of the bank. The prospectus produced to the plaintiff by the Local tee nager, dated Cornwall, it had been discovered, was drawn up by Mr. Law and the Late Mr. Sadleir, and printed in London, and that it appeared that Mr. Law was in the habit of conductieg the business with Mr, Sadkir. The whole of the money for the shares and the stamps, it was stated, passed through Mr. Law's hands, who re tained the amount of the stamps and 11. per share, Mr. Ferrall being paid 15e. per share for signing the transfer. Evidence was then taken to substantiate the statement of the learned counsel, and to show the nature of the frauds connected with the bank, which was of a similar character to that which has already been published. The defence was that Mr. Law had been made the tool of John Sadleir. At the close of the p'aintifl's evidence, Mr. Edwin James contended there was no case to go the jury. The Chief Baron thought otherwise. A discussion then ensued between the counsel and partics on both sides, when terms of arrangement ne re agreed to, and a verdict by consent entered for the defendant. DREADFUL COLLIERY EXPLOSION NEAR BARNSLEY. Yesterday Mr. T. Badger, coroner, opened an inquest on the body of Abraham Turner, who was one of the men got out of the pit alive shortly after the accident on Thursday, and died on Saturday morning. The inquiry was opened at the house of the deceased, at Wath. The proprietors of the pit were in attendance, as also Mr. C. Morton, the Government inspector, Mr. W. H. Peacock, solicitor, Barnsley, appeared on behalf of the proprietors, who, he stated, would have pleasure in ren dering all the assistance in their power in the investigation of this deplorable accident. The following evidence was adduced : Mr. W. H. Peacock, of Barnsley, solicitor to the pro prietors of the Lundhill Colliery, said the names of the proprietors of the pit were W. Taylor, of Redbrook, near Barnsley, Thomas S. Galland, of Brampton ' barrister-at law, E. T. Simpson, of Walton, near Wakefield, soap maker, and W. Stewart, of Wakefield, gentleman. Joseph Coe, of Hemingfield, is the underground steward. Alice Turner, mother of the deceased, identified the body of the deceased as that of her son, who was 21 years of age, and was a harrier in the Lundhill pit for his brother, Ste phen Turner. lie went to work at the usual time on the morning of the explosion, and was brought home between 5 and 6 o'clock the same site, noon very much burnt. He died at half-past 4 o'clock on Saturday morning. William Colbridge, of Lundhill, fireman at the Lundhill Colliery, said—l saw the deceased in the pit several times on Thursday. The explosion occurred about 20 minutes past 12 at noon. It was of a most serious character. I was in the pit at the time, and got to the bottom as soon as I could. Abraham Turner came to the bottom an hour and a half after me. Ile complained of cold, and of being very badly burnt. I took off my jacket, and put it upon him. Ho sat beside myself and the other men until we were drawn up. There were 15 or 16 of us when he arrived, and two or three others came afterwards. Nineteen were got out between 4 and 5 o'clock. Only two were burnt, so far as I know—the deceased and Aaron Nixon. Five of us were drawn up in the first draw, and six in the second. I and deceased were taken out by the second draw. When the explosion took place I was in the cabin, which is 12 or 14 yards from the bottom of the drawing shaft, and five others were with me—viz., Thomas Smith, Henry Chip chase, and Joseph Tunnercliffe, three hookers-on • Abra ham Levitt, a pecker.; sad Wis. Hartley, the horsekeeper.i I t r 3 h b o e w" r o e r .

George Warrender and John Booth came from the north levels to the bottom. Aaron Nixon, who is a hurrier, was sitting on the top side of the pit bottom when the accident occurred. I went into the pit on Thurs day morning at 4 o'clock, and went round all the work. ings on the south and west sides of the pit, until I met Wm. Illingworth, the other fireman, in the centre or fur nace board. I found all the places I visited in excellent working order ; they were never better. Wm. Illingworth had to examine the north levels and workings, and it was after he had done this that we met. It was nearly half past 5 o'clock. Ii was my duty to examine the working parts of the pit before any of the miners were allowed to descend. No man was allowed to leave the bottom before we gave thesignal. Mr. Morton—The rule is that they shall not descend until the examination is made. Witness proceeded—Some of the men have at times de scended before we have completed our examination, but none of them were allowed to leave the bottom until we said all was ready. By Mr. Morton—From half-past 5 o'clock until noon I was employed in going round the workings on the north side, putting up brattices, and seeing that the men attended to their duty. I did not see any brattices put up in other parts that day. The brattices were properly placed, and in what we called good working order. The Coroner—Can you form any opinion as to the cause of the explosion? Witness—l cannot. It is supposed there are over 160 persons now in the pit. Naked candles were used in some parts of the pit, and Davy lanap• in other parts, where it was thought necessary to have them. Candles w e re in general use.; we thought it safe to use candles. It was part of my duty to order Davy lamps whore I thought them necessary, according to rule 7—namely, wherever there was fire, —and I attended to it. I did not order Davy lamps to be used on Thursday last by the miners. The packers used them regularly. The lamps have locks, but are not always locked. Mr. Morton—That is contrary to rule; they are required to be locked. Examination continued—l saw the packers using Davy lamps on Thursday as usual. The lampkeep ers ar e Joseph Grimshaw and Joseph Hartley. John Warhurst, another fireman, said—l was at home when the explosion occurred. I went there immediately afterwards. I found the chair for the corves was blown up into the head-gear. Power was applied to remove it, but without success, and the rope was cut as quickly as pos sible. We got into the pit as soon as we could •it was about half-past four o'clock. I, Joseph Coe, and William Beevers were the first to descend. Some distance down we found two sheeting boards loose, and took them to the top of the pit. I and Beevers then went to the bottom, Mr. Coe having got out. As we descended we heard men at the bottom scre aming for assistance. found t a h number of so m o e n n ecoengresegiahtti. at l th l e ei b t o a tto m m an , W named Hammerton assisting to get t o he men out and pro an d e en t ceeded to look round.

Further on the south level I found a third and fourth body, after which I returned to the abaft, not thinking it prudent to go further by myself. I b a d gone 70 or SO yards. I returned, went out and res ported what I bad seen to Mr. Coe, Mr. Webst er , M r . an went a onthi third e board-gate, a u r t d h i s a i t d e e . b al e o t i w ig ee w n ith th m e e s . eco W nt e i Maddison, Mr. Utley , Mr. Ellison, and Mr. Coe then went where we found four or five more d ea d b o di es. It was about down until w th e e g p ot it 250 yards. The lamp showed fire, and we were afraid to go further lest it should explode again. We returned to the shaft. I ascended and took some more men down. Mr. Coe and Mr. Webster told me to take these men to the dead bodies and then return to them on the north side. After going to the dead bodies I and Benjamin Hoyland went as far as the fourth board-gate, which is 400 yards from the bottom of the pit. On account of the fire-damp we could not go further. The bodies were taken to the botttm of the shaft by the men I had fetched down, after wh fl i v e e b 0 1 went to Mr. Webster on the north side. We' found found six more dead bodies near the end of this leve l. half of 15 or 16 bodies in all, but only removed abo ut did not remove them them to the bottom of the shaft. We of d the fire would all to the bottom, because we wereid found the fire burning fall in. I went to the cupola and d I went and told the other about 25 yards each way, an ld fall in. Indeed I saw the persons that the furnaced Vine masses of burning coal fall arches of the furnace anin leading to the furnace. I ex from the sides of the q ued l we should all be killed, and the pected that if we t he f the same opinion. I saw the stables on other men were ° n o t get to both e nds of the stables, for the fire. We could iarops a b o ut 30 yards up the north board. Wegas fired in the board, both north and south, as far as W e w ent u- P eve found inflammable gas up every board. wild geL we c i t distance we got up any board was about 40 The grsa-es jaTrdhie. Coroner—Can you. form any opinion as to the cause of the accident? Wit ne ss —I cannot form any opinion, unless it be that so me trapper had left a door open in one of the boards. This is a mere supposition. A conversation succeeded, during which Mr. Morton stated that he was afraid many of the bodies left in the pit would be very much burnt, and that he could not give an opinion as to when the pit would be reopened, as if it were reopened prematurely the fire would be again fanned into a flame, and a further explosion mi ght result. The inquest was then adj ourned unt il Monday next s b the Bun Head Inn DrAMIAOI2 /1" , ~Q~~ P k= ~~_ ,~ ~"tea_ lk`',7 .4 ,
