TO THE ELECTORS OF 'I'HE CITY OF LONDON. fiENTLEMEN, AStatement addressed to you by the Committee for conducting the City Election on behalf ot the Conservative candidates clumsily conceals distress and weakness unier misrepre sentation. The intemperate language wed by gentlemen who presented them selves at the General Conservative Meeting, while it indicated that sense of insecurity which usually vents itself in abuse contained dis creditable imputations against the Liberal candidates, to which this Committee felt they could not appropriat el y reply, without some de parture from that self-respect which they have determined to make their rule of conduct. When these imputations are reduced to the more deliberate form of an official address, however, they tel it due, not only to the general body of the Constituency, hut to the intelligent and respect dale portion of the Conservative electors, to give such an explanation of their position as will show that this Committee are not insensible to the responsibility they Dave in 4 rtaken. The unvarying s pport which the great majority of the citizens of London have given to the cause et Reform is matter of history. The change in the franchise created by the Reform i ill produced additional evidence of the predominance of those opinions in the return of exclusively Liberal representatives tor the whole metro politan constituencies. From that per'. d until the wener4l election of 1841, London uniformly returned to Parliament to•ir Liberal re presentatives ; until, trom occult ir circumstances, unconnected with the general current of party politics, an equal division of the repre sentation took place. Did the Conservatives rest satisfied with this arrangement? Did Mr. Russell Ellice, whose name is attal':ed to that manifesto of moderation with which his recent objurgations have inoicated so little sympathy, acquiesce in the views he row enunciates? Were he and his party contented to permit a Wh g vacancy to he filled up by a Reform candidate? No—when they considered either that the advantage of their position o the state of the regis er, warranted them in placing a third candidate in the field, they di I not hesitate to venture into the lottery of an eloction, upon data as fallacious as the ground o their present hopes. Against the most powerful and socially influential candidate, and the most unscrupulous use of the sinister agencies of every protected interest of the reigning Govern ment, and of the aristocracy, whose monopoly was perilled in the contest. Mr. Pattison, in 1843, aided by nothing but his tolociples and the party predilections of the constituency, was returned by a majority sufficiently indicative of the predominance of Liberal opi nions in the city of London. _ Have any circumstances occurred since which would w arr ant the Inference that the I:eform interest has retrograded arid is no lower in the ascendant? From the hour of tr. Pattison's triumph this Committee have in !essantly " fought the battle of the C 4 nstitution in the Registration Courts," and with such success, that not from the vague calculations and presumptions of an electioneering agent, founded confessedly !Pon the state it the register in 1843. but upon an actual calivas of those electors whose opinions were Liberal or unascertained, com rtenced and completed within the last six mouths. they are fully warranted in the assurance to which they ha v e pledged theinselve s, that on the present register there is a large majority of Liberal electors. o -- - 111 the knowledge of such facts, and in the faceoflhe as pro vocation wantonly offered to theml they y e the opposition to the past t return Mr. Patti son this Committee Wilted the p , urposes for which the fet representativehy would have altogether pros system was en trusted to the peolic by the constitution, if they had deprived the Constituency of the power of retrieving their character from the anomaly of placing the oommunit) of the greatest city of the world in a state of utter political neeation. With the proceedings of this Committee, founded on these views, an attempt is row made invidiously to connect Lord Jahn Russell, On no other foutulation than that Oat great statesman is the deliberats and first choice of the eral electors. The Committee regard, with great complacency, an imputation of arbitrary intolerance, based solely on the tact th it no ether al,tern,a tive was ever o ff ere d t o t h em than a coot , st. or the perernetr y the representation betwixt a Liber a l ma j or i ty, and a no t ver y tormt. dable Conservative minority. When some o^. attic machinery is discovered by which it shall be found either expedient or Practic e he to reduce the representative system to fractional rules of proportion, it will he time enough to consider the reasonableness of the pro ()- Bitten to have the minority represented by ene candidate, te.d the majority by another. With regard to the allusions contained in the Conservative address to the relation in which the Prime Minister is alleged to stand to wards one of the other candidates, it is sufficient to reply that Baron Rothschild is the candidate, not of Lord John Russell, but of the con stituency ; and that while this Committee regret that departure from the ordinary amenities of political warfare, which indecently at tempts to implicate the first Minister of the Crown, in the proceed ings Peculiar to the tactics of contested elections, they are prepared to take the exclusive responsibility of recommending for the suffrages of their fellow citizens a gentleman whose unsullied private cha racter and exalted commercial station, alike qualify him to be the representative of the gre itest mercantile eity In the world. That he is also the symbol of a 1. rest principle will not be regarded as a dis qualification for the enjoyment of the equal rights of the free citizens of a free country by the generous and just-minded peopin of England. This Committee receive with cordiality the assurance that, among the high-minded gentlemen whom they are proud to recognise in the ranks of their opponents, " Lord John Ito-sell has b- en treated with Perfect respect by the Conservatives of i.ondon." To these they con fidently apecal against the vi lent langu .ge in which it has not been Considered inconsistent with the character of gentlemen to assail the Motives of the Prime Minister in reference to this contest. His la borious public duties, and his official position, by leaving him de fenceless, ought to have spared hint the indignity of such attacks. Rut the whole body of the Liberal electors feel otistrained to ask their Conservative fellow-citizens whether the following report of a !Teeth delivered at the London Tavern Is cons , stent with those pre ies'll"nl of " Perfect respect" for Lord John Russell which are so lavishly effused in the address of their Committee : "Tke Prime Minister had associated himself with a gentleman lie knew could not take his seat for the purpose of getting funds to carry On the contest." When it is added that the name attached to this unworthy and un founded insinuation is that which subscribes the address containing these claims to the credit of " treating Lord John Russell with per feet respect," the public will be at no loss to appreciate good taste of the speech, or the sincerity o f the document. either the In conclusion, the Committee leave it to the sound sense of their allow-citizens of all opinions to decide upon the relative merits of the candidates before them, persuaded that the comparison must attach them to those whose political consistency, moderati n, port tion, and qualifications most eminently fit them to represent the vast and varied interests of the city of Lon 'on.

PORTSMOUTH, JULY 15.—The Mercury tender, tem porarily commanded by Lieutenant Corbett, of the Ex cellent, returned from a cruise off Brighton to-day. Quite a new feature in paying naval resp. cts to' illus• trious personages was struck out yesterday by sir C. Napier in his squadron at Spithead during her Majesty's transit through that anchorage. Not only were the yards manned, but the whole of the bulwarks of the three ships of the line. The men being dressed in white had a very imposing effect ; and when to this was added the marines, who were stationed on the poop and gang way of each ship, and fired afar de joie as her Majesty passed, the rattling of the musketry mingling with the hearty cheering of the men on the yards and bulwarks, we think her Majesty and her Royal Consort must have been highly gratified. The royal yacht has gone down to her moorings at Cowes to-day, to attend her Majesty's pleasure. WOOLWICH, JULY 15.—The Athol troop-ship, Master- Commander Yearn, is lying off the dockyard, Woolwich, taking in stores, brought down by barges from Deptford, previous to her leaving England with two companies of the Royal Artillery, for Ceylon. She will embark at the same time detachments of the 7th Dragoon Guards and 73d Regiment of Foot, for a passage to the Cape of Good Hope, to join the head-quarters of those regiments at that station. The Garland steam-packet, Captain Smithett, went up the river on Monday, to Messrs. Penn's, to have some repairs made in her machinery. The Dragon skam•frigate went down the river on Tuesday to try her machinery, and returned to Wool wich yesterday afternoon. The Minx steam-vessel went down the river on an experimental trip to try her screw propeller, but owing to some part of her works giving way, she was under the necessity of being towed back to Woolwich by another steamer, then on trial by a private firm, and said to be intended for a steam pleasure yacht. Commodore Lord John Hay, C. 8., one of the Loids of the Admiralty ; Captain Ellice, Controller of Steam machinery; and Mr. Lloyd, Chid Engineer at Somerset House, visited Woolwich to•day, and witnessed the test ing of the horse-power of the Trident steam-vessel et the beam at the west end of the basin. The Trident is norninail) 350-horse power, but the testing was not com pleted today. AUSTRALIAN COLONIES. The following notice, which is considered of some im portance by parties connected with the Australian colo nies, has just been issued from the General Post-office, on the subject of the conveyance of letters, " General Post-office, July, 1847. " It having been represented to the Postmaster-Gene ral that the opport Inities of forwarding letters from this country direct to Port Adeltide, Swith Australia, and to Port Philip, New SAith Wales, by private ship, are now frequent, and that the correspondence for those districts Kill be more expeditiously conveyed by such vessels than by the monthly contract packets to Sydney, by which it is at present transmitted, all letters and news papers for South Australia and Port Philip will hereafter he forwarded by private ship sailing to those places, unless specially addressed to go by the Sydney packets. -"rho postage chargeable upon such correspondence will consequently be the usual ship letter rate of Sd. for each letter not exceeding half an ounce in weight, &c., and ld. for each newspaper, unless such letters or nevi s papers are specially addressed to be forwarded by packet, when the packet rate of postage will be chargeable up, .n letters, and newspapers will be forwarded tree. Letters and newspapers for New Zealand will still be forwarded by the Sydney contract packets, unless specially addressed by prh ate ship." Private letters from Madrid mention that the Ministerial project for the loan of 1,000.000/. on Trea sury bonds has been received with universal rind un measured hostility, the unconstitutional method of car ryin • g the szheme by royal decree instead of by t e authority of the Cortes, together with the shortness of the notice, which gives the appearance of a preconcerted job with the parties who might appear as contractors, being ;he chief grounds of opposition. It is quite clear, therefore, that, supposing dupes to be found in this Country, and contractors willing, for the sake of a com mission, to lend their prestige in entrapping them, scarcely a month would pass before the legality of the b ,nds would be called in question—repudiation, of course upon judieial grounds, being the ultimate result of the whole affair, Any persons who may lend money to Spain—no matter under what circumstances—while her other creditors remsin in their present position, must be regarded as accessories to the continuance of her trauds, since it is only by the discovery that she is branded and utterly denied trust in every quarter that -he will ever be brought to any assumption of hoi.esty. The parties, therefore, if any such are to be found, who may now contribute to her wants, will not only have the ultimate mortification of finding that they have been swindled, like their predecessors, but that in this in stance, unlike the former ones, the penalty will be re garde d by alt persons save themselves with feelings of undisguised gratification —Times.

"Rowland's" precedes AMERICAN AFFAIRS• NEW YORK, JULY 1. You have seen it announced that Mr. Trist, a clerk in one of the offices in Washington, was commissioned, in connexion with General Scott, to proceed to Mexico, and negotiate a treaty of peace with that people. The Go verianent journals have stated, that thes- envoys-extra ordinary. commissioners, or whatever else they may be termed, mere clothed with ample power to effect the object of their appointm nt ; and that the terms and conditions which would be tendered to Mexico were of a character so honourable to boll nations, and so liberal, that they would certainly lead to an adjustment of pend ing difficulties. The confident manner in which these assertions were made, and the sources from whence they came, tended greatly to sir. ngthen the opinion that an early peace might reasonably be anticipated. In this state of things :here were still to br found men who were sceptical, an,l among the number your correspondent. In the various party journals of the 'United States it has been said that Messrs. Scott and Trist are not on the most friendly terms, but no explanation or details have been off•red. On she contrary, it has been cau• tiously avoided by the Union, the President's organ. A colouring, however, h as been given to the subject., :accord ng to the feelings or prejudices of the relator. I have taken in , re than ordinary trouble to make myself acquainted with the facts, which I will now give you. My ii formation is derived from a reliable source, and may be depended upon. Before I proceed, allow me to inquire who is Mr. Trist? He was a consul at Havannah. "Th. reby hangs a 'al.'." He was lately a clerk in the state department, and distinguished himself by furnishing Mr. Ingersoll with the private papers in that department, which led to the attack in the House of Representatives on the cha racter of Mr. Webster, which character Mr. Webster so nobly arid so triumphantly defended. Re it also remembered. dist ?reatient Polk refined to ratify an armistice entered into by General Taylor ; and, it is raid, declared at the time that he would never agree to an armistice until after a treaty of peace had been e ala:e en d i e n p r e o n r d m e e n d ts. frie l h u d d s ee o ci f , t G h e e n y er a a r l e s c c o o i t t i n b u e e l e v to e ratified. Such, at any rate, were the silly vapourings of the Th p this day. x eo hp that M c Tre.otiTnp conduct u i si te olwfast mosth s e e n Gi t :r t nc o ei rb 117 y tahi e m i as f e r p t a i o f s ) s . s i p i n b l y g e u o ' s n i r t i u t ( h ) i n in ruin which he is placed, by being as s o c i ate d i n t h e same commission with Mr. Trist. The exact state of the question, as between this country and Mexico, as to the probability of a speedy peace, or even of a negotiation for peace, seems very difficult to define. The Administration keep every thing dark, but among them are some leaky vessels. From Mexico itself the accounts are vague and often conflicting. Nevertheless, it may be set down as sure that Mr. Trist, who has no higher station in this country than that already described, has been sent to Mexico to at tempt negotiation, and that General Scott has been re quired to defer to him even as to military movements. Previous to Mr. Trist's arrival at the head quarters he addressed a sealed letter to the Mexican Government, under cover to General Scott, with a request that the General would forward the same, which he declined doing, but informed Ur. Trist that he held the letter subject to his order. At the last accounts Mr. Trist had reached the head quarters of the army at Jalepa, and it was notorious there that none other than relations of the most formal civility existed between that gentleman and the Com mander in Chief. lam not certain, but believe they do not visit each other. This is accounted for by the fact that Mr. Trist, of his own authority, but acting doubt less under the discretionary power conferred upon him, but without thinking it necessary toask the co operation of General Scott, had undertaken to propose or suggest the expediency of an armistice. 1 1 When Mr. Trist co mmunicate d his project to the t w h h e ie possibility s t s h :b e il a it r y my of being r e inf o rced or is paced, cut off by General, he was pro m p tl y inform ed , that with th cthirce u v m om st i a to nc f e r s om in supplied from home, and yet in i he heart of the enemy's country, where it must, of necessity, subsist itself, the question of an armistice was one of purely military cognisance, and that he could not permit Mr. Trist, or any other civilian, to meddle with it. So long as he was commander of the army, and responsible for its safety, he must decide upon the measure and policy essential to that safety. Such is by well informed men in Washington known to be the position in which the parties stand to each other; and as it is quite certain that General Scott will not give way in a point of this sort, either Mr. Trist or the General must be superseded. But the latter step in the present state of public feeling would be too violent a one. Meantime all accounts from the head quartets of the army concur in saying that General Seott, who reached Puebla on the 28'h of May, would hasten his march to the caeital, even thoueh he should not be able, after girriserine Jalaea, Puebla, and Perote, to muster more than 5,000 men. The proclamation issued by General Scott a short time since, and addressed to the Mexicans, has pro ence - I much discussion among the American people. By some it is said to have been prepared in Washingteet. ~nd tran m .ted t ) the Commander -in-chief. By others it. is contended that it is the act solely of General Scott. The fact is that it was the ac• of Gen. Scott. in conformity with the wishes and advice of certain Mexican clergymen, and probably with their aid, as they were best able to judge as to the effect of lang uage upon their peop le. It is believed, and I cot cur in the belief, that i t was first write n in Sp tnish or Mexican. and then translated into English. Under such circumstances, whatever may be thought of the policy of the measure. the whole respon sibility of it i+ with the Commander-in -Chief. The President and his Cabinet, in relation to it, are therefore free from all praise or censure. Having occupied so much apacewith w hat I deem in teresting details respectin Messrs. Scott and Trist, and the progress of their neg g otiation, I must refer you to the newspapers of the day rmies for an accoun t of the recent movements of th e t wo a. d- It is proper for me to state that I know the Comman ing General has transmitted to the War Department some time since all the p • reasons t herefor.

P In regard to t h e authorship o f the pro clamation, and the sources fr om w hi ch its ienrinlents we re derived, it may bo well to note t h e fact, that Genera l Almon, for te merly Mexican Mi n i ster in the United States, has been arrested and thr own i nto p r i so n on a charge of treason able correspond ence with General Scott.

So fully assured are the Prussian Government of the complete efficacy of the system, that a portion of the Deaf and Dumb Institution of Berlin is to be set apart as an hospital for idiots, where the most effect ive methods of education can be tested and carried out. All were imbeciles intrusted to the care of M. Sargent : they were twelve in number. After a lapse of some months those who could hear were learning to speak, some were beginning to draw and write, and some to sew : some played more cor rectly, and sang and danced as other people ; all appeared neat and cheerful, improved in mind and body. A dea f boy , who was one of the worst cases, washed and d ressed himself daily without . assist ance, and was learning to draw ; he made his picture upon a slate, and evinced quite a passion for his em ployment. Most of them appeared in a hopeful way to attain ultimate restoration to the rank and society of rational beings. M. Sequin, of Paris, was also in trusted with the care of ten idiots, who were inmates . of the Hospital of Incurables, and who formed the subject of his experiments. In his observations or treatise, he gives a lucid statement of the moral and intellectual condition of his dives, also accurately describing their habits. His task was an arduous one, and such as would have made many an indi vidual shrink from attempting it. He had to en counter a Babel of discordant sounds, hideous and unearthly cries, and the most determined resistance at first to controul, on the part o f a l mos t a ll these children. But in spite of every difficulty, his labours were attended with the most marked success, as the following will show in his own words. He says -Ist. I have developed and applied, as much as the material means permitted, the muscular system of the childreh. 2d. The nervous irritability of several has disappeared or sensibly diminished. 3d. They have learned to run, jump, and perform several gymnastics so useful in early life to young children. 4th. They have learned to seize hold of, handle, throw, and carry burdens, the weight of which surpassed even the ordi nary strength of their age. sth. Five among them have learned to read, write, count, to a certain limit, which encourages the hope that they are yet capable of being further improved by instruction. The no tions of the children, too, have become precise and exact : ideas have begun to form themselves in their minds, and to manifest themselves in their conduct and speech ; obedience and morality, principles which had to be entirely ereated in them, have begun to re gulate a portion of their actions and their existence. On a calm review of the labours of this excellent man, one cannot but be struck with the fact that obsta cles which formerly appeared insurmountable, in the education of idiots, have been overcome, and the ds• velopment of hidden powers have been made apparent, to an extent quite beyond human calculation. Doctor Guggenbuhl, a young German physician, has devoted his talents and his property, likewise, to the great and noble purpose of ameliorating the condition of the youthful idiots. Such is his zeal to alleviate the con dition of this unhappy class of sufferers, that he has sold his property in order to purchase a house and premises where he may .be enabled to conduct his benevolent object with great prospects of Atkccess. There he resides with his family of idiotic children. The most encouraging results have followed ; and by the published reports he has put forth of the working of his institution, and the teti nicia-tof those ware 'have Vted there, he 112 s earned aNue?teme in Gibrritany, among such as are heat able to appreciate his disinterested labours. What an amount of misery may be relieved in this our fallen world by the establishment of kindred institu tions, to elevate the creature from his isolated, forlorn, and hopeless condition, to the social pleasures of life, the pursuits of science, and the advantages of edu cation. The public mind, through the press, needs only to be informed of the rise and progress of such institutions which have done so much fur the benefit of mankind, and the alleviation of misery in one its worst forms, to be awakened to the importance of raising one of a similar character in this country commensurate with the wants of the population. It is not too much to hope that a benevolent Christian people, whose aims and purposes in the cause of phi lanthropy embrace the universe, will be alive to the appeals that are made on behalf of the poor, neglected and wretched idiot, and, by a generous impulse of noble and right-hearted feeling, decide that England shall no longer remain in the back ground, forgetful of these outcasts of society.—Correspondent of the Medical Times. At the meting of Spanish bondh elders on Thurt day, it turned out that the smart scheme which was to b. suomitted for their further delusion had mainly hail it origin with the very puty upon whom more than any one else the responsiodity had been placed of resisting any renewal of the fraudulent evasions which hate hitherto been so successfully practised. The gratuitous surrender of 12 per cent. of their property was in a great measure the happy device of Mr. Henderson, at Senor Salamanca, it appears, had merely intimated that if the bondholders should consider ,that step to be a desirable one, he had no doubt he could succeed in effect ing the arrangement for them, and in inducing his col leagues to avail themselves of the proceeds. The meet ing, however, although assured by letters from Mr. Henderson that the plan w,iuld render the stock worth 60 which is now only worth t 3, appeared not to be able to comprehend how the faith of the Spanish nation would be likely to prove more binding upon a hat would remain after the proposed slice had been given up, than in the case of the original obligation, aid perhaps feared that a further offering to the rapa cious dishonesty of their debtor would only stimulate, so soon as the gift had been swallowed, the appetite for more. Mr. Henderson had also failed to explain the process by which the sale in the public markets of the 8,000,0001. of stock to be surrendered for the use of the Spanish Government would operate to raise the price from 23 to 60, and under these circumstances the proposition was decidedly waived, the meeting intimating that they would prefer for the future to wait a direct communication from the Spanish Minister. Meanwhile it was proposed that the bondholders should be careful to avoid any strong remarks that might irritate the aen wive honour of the Spanish people and Government, that amity and conciliation should be the order of the day, and that a distinct pledge should in all possible cases be exacted from candidates at the approaching election that they would, upon the requirements of the bondholders, make the subject a national one, to the ex • tent, it is presumed, of sending an army to Spain, and plunging Europe into war. With regard to the first of these recommendations—the adoption of a system of po lite cajolery—the meeting seemed decidedly of (*mon that it would he advisable, and that the Spanish (.1:!: vernment, unused as they it ; the co are to intrigue of any inf .. woald be completely deceived by h ow be ever, to the e ff ect that the claims shou;d forthwith no. made a war question, not appearing to follow i n strictly se lotcal connexion, was for the present ae c l a a a side . — Timis.

CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER AGAINST AN AFRICAN CAPTAIN. Captain Witt, of the Sw(fisure, belonging to Thomas Tobin, Esq., was brought up before Ir. Rushton, charged with having caused the death of a seaman, named Alfred Roland, by knocking him down and kick ing him, on the Bth of January last, whilst lying in Bonny River, Africa, from which ill-treatment ho lingered until the 16th of that month, when he expired. James Anwell, a seaman, stated that he shipped in Liverpool on board the Swifisure, bound for Bonny River. On their arrival out, on the Bth of January, Alfred Boland, a Swede, and himself, wero or d ered to " shackle the chains," and Boland taking the wrong end the captain struck him and knocked him donn, shame fully kicking him when down. The deceased then went below, but was Imm dial , ly ordered on deck by the cap tain. Ills body was covered with blue marks from the effects of the ill-usage he had received. The captain also struck him in the eye, which was very much dis coloured. He died on the 16th of that month. Th e y had a surgeon on le aid of the Swifisure ; but another was sent for—Mr. Tuck, the surgeon of the Princess Royal, then lying in the same river—who attended 13o lend until his ti, ath. Witness arrived in this port on Thursday last, and the reas ,n why he had not given in formation earlier was becatve the captain was out of town.

PIRACY—FOUR 11.1 EN KILLED. The MuyoConstitutio n p u bli s h es the following from correspondent at Westport:— On Saturday, 4th instant, the schooners Olive Brandt and Sarah were plundered off Eagle Island, on the Erria coast, of five tons of Indian meal each; and on the . sth instant the schooner Ranger, on her way to this pow was attacked in Blacksod, and 170 barrels of meal taken off. The pirates, in their hurry quitting the vessel, loft one of their party after them, who has been handed One to the police here. On the 7th instant the Emily Maria of Sherries, s snack laden with Indian corn, was attacked near Inniskes t but the Captain having applied to the Commander of the Emerald cutter, now stationed in Broadhaven, for the marines which were on board, the people wade so deeps. rate an attack that the marines resolutely defended the property under their care, and shot four of the plun derers dead, and wounded several others. It is to be hoped that this melancholy occurrence will put a stop to plunder on the Erri. FEARFUL ACCIDENT. A sad tragedy occurred in the neighbourhood of In verness last Thursday. Mr. Rose, one of the most respectable and wealthy inhabitants of the town, his son (a lad about fifteen), his two daughters, and another gentleman, Mr. Latham, left town on that morning with a carriage and pair to visit the Fall of Foyers and the surrounding scenery. At the rocky pass of Inverfarkeirg, about thirteen miles from Inverness, the road becomes very rugged and uneven, and the approach to the bridge, thrown across the torrent which tumbles through the glen, is sso steep and dangerous, that most travellers alight from their vehicles and perform that part of the journey on foot. On their way to the Fall the party adopted this precaution ; but on their return, when it was debated whether they should again walk that part of the road or not, they, fatigued probably by rambling about the Fes, resolved to remain in the carriage. At the steep approach leading to the bridge, the weight a the carriage pressing upon the horses, they grew restive, and one of the reins breaking, they became unmanage able. At or on the bridge a sudden jerk threw the youngest lady, who was sr ated on the top, off into the bed of the torrent, a height of between thirty and forty teet. The same jerk threw her father and the driver off; but luckily they fell on the bridge. One of the horses tell over, and hung struggling in the harness; the other retained its footing, and strove desperately to keep it. Ultimately, however, it was &weed over, and, falling undermost, was killed upon ti • sip , t. The carriage and its occupants shared the fate of the horses ; it turned round in the air, and fallinz, wheels uppermost, on the poor girl who was first thrown off, was dashed to pieces. Some labourers wr,rking near the place used every exertion to extricate the sufferers, and medical assistance was iminediaitly sent for to Inverness. The injuries of the youngest lady were so severe that she lingered insensible till the next morning, and then expired. liar sister is very severely injured, and her brother's skull is tractured. Both lie in a precarious state. Mr. Letham is much cut and bruised, and has sustained a serious injury in the knee. Mr. Rose and the driver escaped unhurt.—Scotemln. 1 DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday afternoon, about three o'clock, a melancholy occurrence, attended with loss of lite, took place at Mersevnills, Stockp or t, belonging to M.issrs. Kershaw and Co. A young me chanic, named Iliacegirille, had been winking in a well about thirty feet der p, for the purpose of loosening a valve connec . .eil with the gasometer pit; he remained down the first time about a quarter of an hour, nail then aurae to thy. top to breatho more ireely. In a few minutes he descended attain, and as he could not be heard at work, and returet d nu answer on being shouted to, another mechanic, named Horton, went down and found him sensele,s at the bottom. Ile called to the foreman of the mechanics, Leech, to come to assist ance. wh ), without hesitation, complied, ILA was in the act of pushing behind Homan, aho bad g. t lirscr girdle on his shoulder, wh. ti Huro) necaine faint and found his senses going. lle immediately ascended the ladder alone and threw down a rope, which lit coining emaneled at the top, Leech called out t., him to cut it off, which lie instantly did. In the course of a minute or two afterwards he called out to Leech to come up the ladder and bring the end of the rope with him, but, receiving no answer, alter again calling, he ran for further assist ance; on returning, a light was lowered into the pit, and an explosion took place. This co alarmed the men, that no ono durst descend. Dr. Rayner was sent for, and arrived in ten minutes; no one would venture to descend, so he fastened a nipe round his body, and went down about twenty feet Finding that the air was not so impure but that it could be respired for a short time, he ascended, when a man named Wood volunteered, under the direction of Dr. Rayner, to go to the bottom. A ordered rop t o e. shout rope was teervite,dryrtzned he m ic a lt n and check heaag • at th He succeeded in laying hold of one of the bodies, but w ' s had not strength to bring it up, so be came to the top, and, after breathing the fresh air for a few minutes, took courage, got to the bottom as speedily as possible, laid hold of Bracegirdle, and both were pulled to the surface. The latter exhibiting no signs of life, he was immediately taken into the open air, his wet clothes removed, hot water applied to the chest and cold water dashed in the face ; he shortly boom to move and breathe gently, and by perseverance fur some time was restored, but remained unconscious for some hours. Another man was sent down the pit as soon as possible to get Leech out., but the air had beci me more impure, and in the course of two minutes ho was pulled up senseless. A lamp was put down, which was extinguished, and on being repeated a alight explosion took place. This cleared the air somewhat, when a third man, named Stanny, volunteered to go down. lie succeeded in putting a rope round the foot of Leech, and at the second descent round the other, and thus ho was taken out ; but though every means were tried, he did not exhibit any sign of life ; his mouth was full of sand and small stores, so that he had, doubtless, been first rendered sens e l ess b y t h e gas, and then drowned by the rush of water from the gasomet , r pipe. lie has lett a wile and two children, the youngest about a month old. He was a man very highly respected by his em ployers and fellow workmen. It is probable that Leech hid died before Bracegirdle was got out ; sitting upright, the former lying dews.
