Business this day THE SUN, I,OIN DON. SATURD A Y k VE, N NG, ocroßEß 3, 1657 POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.) 1 MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A LOOSE TRIGGER.—Charles T r i gger , an i nma t e o f St. Martin's Workh ouse , was pl ace d at the b ar b e f ore Mr. Bingham, c h arge d w ith b e i ng found in the ward allotted to the w omen i n t h e a b ove workhouse, contrary to the regulati ons o f th e P oor L aw C omm i ssioners. It appeared from the evidence of Rose, one of the porters, that at a late hour on the previous night be was called by one of the nurses to the sick ward, where he found the poor invalids in a great fright, and on making inquiries as to the cause thereof, he was informed that some one had been running backwards and forwards over the roof justabovetheir heads makiogsuch a noise that it was impossible for any of them to sleep. He examined the premises and found a ladder had been removed from an adjoining building and placed against the roof of the women's ward. He went up the ladder and found one of the windows open, and the marks on the sill as if some person had recently passed. He at once entered the room through the open window, where, to his great surprise,!he saw the prisoner making himself exceedingly free amongst the women. On asking the prisoner what his business was there, he replied, " Oh, I am only come for a bit of plaister." Witness, however, did not for a moment believe this, and as the accused bore an exceedingly loose character, he gave him into custody. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said he merely went to the women to get a plaister for a man who had eut his head. He was not aware he was doing wrong. Mr. Bingham said the workhouse regulations must be enforced, 4nd it was useless the prisoner denying all knowledge of them, and as long as he was an inmat3 of the house he must be content to submit to them. As a warning to him for the future, he should commit him for 14 days wish hard labour. WESTMINSTER. ROEBERT.—Mar; Williams , lljay-looking young woman, was placed at the bar before Mr. Paynter, charged as follows : _ Join Birch, eating-house keeper, 20, High-road, Knightsbridge, said the defendant came to his house on Wednesday evening to lodge, and in the following morning absconded, taking with her a sheet and blanket. There was no one else who could have taken them. His daughter met her last night and asked her to accompany her home, which she did, and then admitted the robbery, and said she was willing to replace the articles. She would not, however, tell where they were, and he gave her in charge. The daughter having corroborated the above, Defendant said she would get bauk the things if any one went with her, but refused to say where she lived or could get the things from. She was remanded till Monday. ASSAULTING THE POLIIII3.—Ed ward Graham, alias John Williams, 3, St. Ermin's-hill, Broadway, West minster, was charged with assaulting the police. Robert White, 100 B, said he was on duty at a quar ter to ten on the previous night, in Tothill , treat, and saw defendant with a - number of prostitutes obstructing the footway at the corner of Dartmouth-street, and causing a disturbance by shouting. He persuaded the others to go away, but defendant would not, and asked him what the b— he had to do with him, and struck him on the side of the head, but not very hard. As the constable was not much hurt, Mr. Payne sent defendant to prison for seven days. THAMES. "VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A NEVI ZgALANDER.—An Irishman, named O'Leary, was charged heir,' Mr. Seife with ♦iolently assaulting a New Zealander in Ratcliffe high way. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner, who is a sailor, met the complainant, aad said something offensive to him. Complainant, who could speak English very imperfectly, gave him a push, upon which some angry words ensued between them. Complainant was going away when, on his back being turned towards the prisoner, the latter gave him a violent blow on the hack of his head, which knocked him down. He at tempted to get up again, when he received another blow, and he fill on the pavement. The back of his bead came in violent collision with the kerb, and he was for a time rendered insensible. When he was assisted up a large quantity of blood flowed from the wound. (The com plainant had a deep bandage encircling his head, and he seemed in a very fainting condition, though a very powerful made man). A female who saw the occurrence said it was a most unprovoked assault, and that the complainant fell down heavily on the kerb. He was taken to the Loudon Hospital. Mr. Selfe asked the prisoner what he had to say to the charge. Tae prisoner stated that the complainant first struck him. Mr. Selfe observed that it was a cowardly aasault to strike a wan behind. The prisoner tVA3 find 20d., or in default 14 days itn prigonment. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—ghis Day.) LONDON, Oct. 3.—Wind this day at noon, S. 1 fresh breeze and cloudy.

On the trial it failed to he proved that L'Angelier was at the house of his betrothed on the ❑ight in question at all, although the servant who has now made this disclosure was examined for the prosecu, tion at the trial.--.

MANSION HOUSE (THIS DAY). The further hearing of the charge preferred by Alder man Sir R. W. Carden against Mr. Rose was resumed this morning before the Lord Mayor. Mr. Humphreys appeared for the complainant ; Mr. Lewis (Ely-place) for the defendant. Mr. Millard, Under-sheriff, was re-called and cross examined by Mr. Lewis—l first had a conversation with Sir R. Carden relative to his election in the middle of August, at his countinghouse, Exchange-buildings. went there byappointment with Mr. Whitehead, on whom I had previously called. When I saw Sir R. Carden I communicated to him the substance of conversation that bad taken place been me and Mr. Anderton, the then under-sheriff, to the effect that he was determined to oppose the election of Sir R. Carden. He replied that he did not believe Mr. Anderton would take any such steps. I observed that my opinion was that he was determined to do so, and suggested to Sir R. Carden the propriety of making some arrangements if it should appear that Mr. Anderton continued in the same mind. Sir R. Carden asked me what arrangements I referred to. I replied, requesting several of his friends to form a committee to protect his interests in case of need, and if opposed to secure the services of a compe. tent agent. Sir R. Carden replied that he considered it altogether unnecessary, and that he should not ask any of his friends to do so ; he said; moreover, that if the high position which he had for so many years sustained without reproach' in this city would not of itself com mand the support of his fellow citizeus he certainly ehonld not ask them to vote for him ; then I think Sir R. Cardeu referred to the duties of the sheriffs in preventing the admission of pereons not entitled to vote to the hall; in taking leave of him I eaidyou understand I do not intend to take any steps whatever in the m ean ti me ; if you should hear anything more on the subject you can do the best you can for me, or words to that effect. That ended that interview ; the next interview was on Friday, the 18th ult. I net Mr. Alderman Cubitt on my way to my office, and in consequence of what passed between us I went direct to my offic e , w h ere S ir Richard Carden was waiting to see me. Sir Richard said he found an opposition iu Mr. Anderton. No one was present with us at either of the interview,. He said Mr. Andertou'l opposition was a determined one, and it might be necessary for him (Sir R. Carden) to demand a poll. He requested me to accompany him to Mr. Alderman Wire's, in order to confer on the measures which it might be prudent to adopt un der the circumetancee. I did so, and after waiting some time we had an interview with him. No other persons were present. After introducing the subject to Alderman Wire, who anticipated our business, the subject of Mr. Anderton's opposition was discussed, as also the propriety of taking mew urea to resist it. Mr. Lewis—What was prepos ed to be done 1 Witness—That an agent should be appointed. Mr. Lewis—By whom 1 Witness—l believe I mentioned it for tho purpose of conducting the poll on the part of Sir R. Carden, who observed that he should assuredly demand a poll, for the expenses of it would fall on the Sheriffs. Alderman Wire explained to Alderman Carden that was not quite so, as the candidates would have to pro vide agent to solicit, bring up voters, and object to votes. I then suggested that the more correct course perhaps would be, that the deputy and common council of the Dowgate and Walbrook wards, to which the aldermen respectively belonged, should be requested to constitute themselves into a committee for the purposes of the election. That was assented to by both aldermen, and in consequence of that Sir R. Carden asked me, as a matter of favour, to accompany him to his deputy (Mr. Deputy Kebble). I did so, and saw Deputy Kebble in his counting-house, with Mr. Shepherd, his partner. I then stated to Mr. Deputy Kebble what had passed at the interview at Mr. Alderman Wire's, and requested him to put himself into communication with the Common Council of the Ward of Walbrook for that purpose ; Sir R. Carden made a statement which I do not recollect, and I then referred to an interview I had had with Mr. Rose ; I don't think a commit.ee had been formed be fore I saw Mr. Rose ; I suggested his employment as agent for the legitimate purposes of the election ; Mr. Deputy Kebble said I understood the purposes for which he is to be employed, and it will be necessary to have some agent ; Sir R. Carden being utterly averse, and would not sanction any of the proceedings usually taken at elections was not disposed to have the defendant or any employed. I again referred to the necessity of having an agent employed under the direction of the committee, and the result was left to Mr. Deputy Kebble. When about to leave with Sir R. Carden, he said to Deputy .Kebble, " Now, we must settle about Millard's retain ing fee." My answee was, "to see Sir R. Carden Mayor as my retainer, fir his success would be my reward." We all walked up Allhallowes-lane together, and I asked Sir Robert Carden whether he desired to be Lord Mayer, and he said that he must be Lord Mayor, and that the proper steps must be taken. As we approached Alderman Wire's office Sir Robert Carden took out his watch and saw it was 12 o'clock, and observed he was behind his time and must go to the justice-room, desiring me to go to Alderman Wire and communicate what had occurred at Mr. Kebble's, and apologise for his not returning. I did so, and on my reaching home I sent immediately for aMftre.rßwaords. I told se,whocalle Mr. u called at my officeose that I w about half-an-hour not-hour now concerned in the matter, but that he must go to Mr. Deputy Kebble. The subject of money was mentioned by me to Mr. Rose. Mr. Lewis—Did the defendant at any time threaten to print or publish, or abstain from doing so, any libel or libellous matter 1 Witness—Nothing of the sort. Mr. Lewis—Did he upon any occasion whatever threaten that unless money was given him, on the part of Sir R. Carden, that he would do anything to prevent his election Witness—No, he did not. He did not see Sir R. Carden, the defendant, or Mr. Kebble from the 18th till Nth of September, about 10 o'clock, when Sir R. Car. den came to my office and said that he had received information on which he could rely, that Mr. Alderman Wire had forfeited his promise not to interfere in the election, and that he (Mr. Alderman Wire) and Mr. Auderton bad combined to defeat his election. I told him that I did not believe the report, because I had known Mr. Alderman Wire for a great many years, and I never knew him or Mr. Andertoa break their pro. misee. Sir R. Carden said, nevertheless, that he knew it was so, and that him election was lost, and he desired to know Mr. Ross's terms. (This was the day on which the summons was obtained.) I then distinctly told him Rose's terms were 1001. to cover all the expenses of the poll and 501. mere if Sir R. was successful. Sir R. observ e d, " W e ll t h a t ma k es 1501." Shortly after, Sir R. said, " Well, lam going to. take for some bill put up int u s i o l ine dlia p ii r l o a c r e d ed ., i , ng l s a B g a t i ms t t o ß s o i e r e il , R.

Shannon.—Letter APPALLING CALAMITY-WRECK OF THE CENTRAL AMERICA-500 LIKES LOST. - In our last American despatches the safety of this United States mail steamship was despaired of; and we have now, by the arrival of the Arago at Southampton last evening, the melancholy par ticulars of the wreck of the vessel, with a fearful loss of life, and two and a quarter millions of dol lars. The following is extracted from the New York _Herald : On Saturday last, the 12th instant, the United States mail steamship Central America, Capt. Herndon, bound to New York, with the Pacific mails, passengers and crew to the slumber of some six hundred and twenty-five persons, and treasure to the amount of over two millions of dollars, foundered in a hurricane off Cape Hatteras. On Tuesday, the Bth instant, the Central America, in company with the Empire City, left Havana for New York, and up to the evening of that day they were in sight of each other ; but towards night the Central America out-distanced her Companion. On the follow ing evening a heavy gale set in from the north-west, and continued without abatement until Saturday, the 12th instant, when it increased to a perfect hurricane. It is supposed that when the ill-fated Central America met the full force of the gale she was about fifty miles ahead of the Empire City, and about a hundred and fifty miles to the west of the island of New Providence, between that island and the American coast. It is supposed by Mr. Roberts that the Central America must have broken her machinery and drifted up the Gulf Stream. Her regular distance from the coast is about seventy-five miles when running on her usual course. There is little doubt that the hurricane had a circular motion, or was, in fact, what is commonly called a whirl wind. From the direction it took, it is probable that the Central America was caught in the very centre of the whirl. The outer edge of the whirlwind doubtless struck her on Wednesday, the 9th, the time which the Empire City first experienced it, and from that time until Saturday, the 12th, she must have gallantly battled with it, until the centre reached her and she could no longer hold out against the terrors of this awfu phenomenon. The extent of the gale must have been considerable, for the Cunard steamship Persia experienced a heavy touch of it on Friday, which literally swept her decks, though her course was a good deal to the northward of the track of the Central America and Empire City. Its fury reached as far south at least as Wilmington, North Carolina, where considerable damage was done to the shipping from Friday to Saturday, and vessels continue to arrive daily at this and other ports with the effects experienced in that terrible blow. Toe Central America was considered a stanch and very good seaboat. She was built in this city in the year 1853 byl William H. Webb, called the George Law, and made her first voyage in September of that year, Her construction was of the very best description. She was diagonally braced with iron from stem to stern, and was in all resp ec t s as s t anc h an d sa f e as any ship ;goat. There were on board of her six life boats, two of which were Francis's metallic boats, and four with the patent air-tight tubes attached. Each one was capable of holding fifty passengers. There were also between five and six hundred life preservers on board. Her Captain, Commander Herndon, of the United Staten navy, was a most prudent and efficient officer, equal to any emergency; and it is satisfactory at least to know that no danger which skill or forethought could ward off, would have resulted so disastrously is the unfortunate vessel. The Central America was not in sured, and the loss to the company cannot fall short of $250,000, She is reported to have taken in $125,000 at Havana, in addition to the $1,600,000 she bad on her original freight list ; and this added to say $300,000 in the possession of passengers, would make the amount of treasure lost little over two millions of dollars. Not for many years has a gale of equal severity deso lated our coasts as this one by which the Central America was destroyed. Every ship on the line of its travel suffered severely, and the whole of the extent of the damage done is not and never may be known. The ocean for miles around was strewn with fragments of ',reeks ; and there is no doubt now that the portions of wbeelhouges, door panel, and furniture, seen by the ships Falcon and Commerce, belonged in part to the lost Central America. The Empire City, in her efforts tl get into shelter at Norfolk, was compelled to bur❑ her wheel-houses, tables, chairs, and every available article of wood work to keep her fires going. The Columbia, a steamship, which left New York on Wednesday, the 9th, for Charleston, reached that port with the greatest difficulty on Sunday. For 13 hours the tempest beat down upon her, and every mo ment of that time she was in imminent danger either of capsising or foundering, every timber quivering under the terrific force of tho gale. But terrible as was the force of the storm encountered by both these steamships, the unfortunate Central America, whose lose has in flicted so much misery upon so many families in this and other cities of the Union, must have been delivered up to the fury of the tetnpe6t infinitely greater, The detailed horrors of the scene of destruction we have yet to learn ; but we shudder to think of the revelations yet to be made—the magnitude of the loss; the protracted agonies of the sufferers ; the struggles between hope and despair; the wild battling for life in the midst of death which always characterises such saenca as this ; and, worst of all, the end.esa sorrow which no balm can heal, that must fad upon a thousand hearts and homesteads, as each day's report confirms the dreadful anticipation, or dashes into fragments the last remnant of a hope clung to with that desperate tenacity with which affection endows the mourner. Viewing this appalling calamity in its most favourable phase, all these things must inevi tably result from it. While too much regret cannot be expressed at the fearful loss of human life by the foundering of the Cen tral America, it must not be forgotton that the loss of the specie and mails will occasion much suffering. Aside from the great inconvenience to the mercantile commu nity from the loss of the specie, there are hundreds of letters from miners in California to their friends or fami lies here, containing remittances, the loss of which will be deeply felt. Perhaps many families were depending on these receipts for the payment of rent, or the pur chase of winter stores, the lack of which will occasion much suffering, and form no little proportion in the un fortunate results of this terrible calamity. TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCHES. NORFOLK, Sept. 18. The Central America foundered at sea on Saturday evening last, at eight o'clock. Fifty passengers were rescued from pieces of the wreck by a Norwegian barque and brought into Hampton Roads. Twenty-six females were taken from the ship by a brig three hours previously. The officers were all lost except Mr. Frazer, second officer. Chief Engineer Ashby took a boat and deserted the ship. I start for New York with the surviving pas sengers at 10 a,m. _ _ J. M'GowlN, Commander steam-ship Empire City. The Empire City, with her sad freight, will be due here this afternoon. It is positively stated that all the ladies and children who were passengers in the Central America were saved on board the brig Marine. SAVANNAH, Sept. 18. The bark Saxony arrived hero this morning with five of the passengers of the Central America. She reports the total loss of the vessel, treasure and mails, and about 500 of the passengers and crew. She reports that forty women and children were saved by the brig Marine, of Boston. The Pea was ♦ery heavy. Forty-nine other passengers of the Central America were picked up by the bark Elise. CURIOUS COINCIDENCE. The announcement that the 60 passengers of the ship wrecked steamship Central America had been picked up by a barque Elise, coupled with the fact that the Ham burg barque of that name is now due at this port, gave strong crsdenci to the opinion that the latter was the fortunate vessel. It proves, however, to have been the Norwegian barque Elise, bound from Honduras to Eng land. The coincidence is remarkable, from the fact that the Hamburg barque Elise and the Bremen barque Elise were the ones that saved so many of the persons ship wrecked from the French steamer Lyonnais. The Bre men barque Elise, Captain Nordenbalott, was the vessel that first gladdened the eyes of the mate's boat, contain ing 16 of those on board the Lyonnais, who, after aban doning the ship, had been tossing about the open sea for six days. The passengers were taken on board, suffering terribly from exposure and cold. On the next day, in let. 40 deg. 50 m. N., long. 65 deg. 40m., the Hamburg barque Elise, Captain Neilson, the one supposed to have s ave d th e pas sengers of the Central America, was spoken, bound for New York. Captain Neilson willingly consented to give such as desired it a passage to New York, all but two of those saved availing themselves of the offer, and being brought safely to New York. the agents of the Franso-American Steamship Co. in this city properly rewarded the officers of the two barques Elise for their services in saving and caring for the passengers and crew of the Lyonnais. Capt. Neilson was presented with 200 dollars in money and a splendid silver trumpet, and his mate, William Dehn, received 50 dollars. The trumpet was a richly-chased and beau tifully-ornamented piece of work. A similar present was made to Capt. Geo. Nordenba lott, of the Brennen barque Elise. The name Elise proves to be a favourite in the north of Europe, and there are several Norwegian barques That bearing it which have never come to this port. Th three vessels bearing the same name should have bees instrumental in saving lives supposed to have been lost iu the annals of by shipwreck, must make it famous humanity. A PASSENGER ' S ACCOUNT. The storm comm ence d i mmediately Oliver P. Manlur , a p ass enger, gives the followirg s teamer left Havannah, in creas i ng until Friday. On Friday afternoon all hands were c a ll e d up to b a l e, information after the the vessel continued to ship water, and all hands worked with buckets, barrels, &c., Friday night and till about 2 o'clock on Saturday, when the brig Marine hove in sight ; all the ladii:s and children were put on board the Marine about six o'clock p.m., and the chief engi neer left with them. In launching the boats two of the five of them were stove, and the othcr three were despatched with the women and children about an hour before sunset. The Marine was lying nearly a mile off, and ; by the time the three boats reached her it became evident that the ship must go down before they could get back. All hands then seized pieces of spars, chairs, and life preservers, while others rushed below to secure their treasure. The con fusion now became great, though all acted with coolness, ' each endeavouring to make the last effort for his own _safety. Now the vessel gave three lurches, some of the Aaosen g ers jumping off at each lurch; those who jumped ' off at the first and second lurches swam off to some distance, but the great mass remained on deck until the vessel went down, which was a minute or two afterwards. I had provided myself with a life preserver and a piece of a spar, and determined to go down with the vessel with the great mass of the passengers ; all of them stood about bracing themselves up and securing those articles most valuable to buoy them up. The vessel went down, stern foremost. I was standing near the smoke-stack at the time, and we were all dragged under the water with the sinking ship. The general supposition is that we were all drawn under the surface at least 20 feet, and when we rose we were nearly stifled ; the rapidity with which I was drawn down tore the spar from my hands and the life-pre server from my body, and when I reached the surface my clothing was all stripped off me. I however met a friend who had two life-preservers, who gave me one, and we also seized on pieces of the wreck, which helped to sustain us. About 400 of the passengers were struggling about, most of them having lost their life preservers, and others remaining on pieces of the wreck, which came up with us. The boatswain had cut away the upper works of the vessel, so that when the hull sunk they would float off, but they were dragged down, but came up in fragments. Many persons were killed, stunned, and drowned by being struck with pieces of the wreck, while the pieces were to others the ultimate means of safety, and occasionally a Ruh of light ning showed to each other a sea of struggling forms. Each strove to encourage his friend with hopes which he scarce felt himself. At first we were all together in a mass, but soon the waves separated us, and at each successive flash of lightning we discovered that we were being scattered over a wide area, and soon found ourselves apparently alone on the boundless ocean. The rest of this account does not differ from that already received. He concludes by saying about 10 o'clock he was picked up by the bark Ellen, and had the satisfaction of finding others on board her. The steamship Empire City left Norfolk yesterday at 11 o'clock a.m., with many of the rescued passengers. LIST OF THOSE KNOWN TO SE LOST. Wm.

I.—This day is the commencement of the winter half-year in the coal trade, and there was some fear lest an unpleasantness might arise between the seamen and the shipowners, or that a strike might occur ; but so far each party has taken its separate course, and there is not much cause for alarm. The South Shields Ship. owners Association have intimated that its members will not pay more than 4/. a voyage to London and Amsterdam ; 3/. 10s. per month in the Baltic and North American trades ; 3/. per month in the Mediterranean and Black Sea trades, the four latter with small stores. The Sailors' Association have announced that their scale for the winter is 51. per voyage in the London trade, 4/. per month in the Mediterranean and Black Sea trades, with small stores when sailing by the month. The Shipowners' Association do not employ Union men, and the Sailors' Association, whose members are all able-bodied seamen, decline to sail with non-Union men. The Shipowners' Association only represents a portion of the Shields owners, but whether those who do not belong to the association will feel inclined to pay 11. a man a voyage more than the members of the association, 0 navi gate _or whether the association can procure crews fit t vessels in the North Sea during the winter months at their reduced scale—for they have so far paid the same settled. Fray o a e f o t e o r e n 0 0 0 f n a t reporthrown wages as those claimed by the Seamen's Association— are questions that are likely to be coon A MAN STABBED BY XIS W IF L —T he inhabitants i o n f t o S a h e s P t t are that a woman named Eliza Sn elling, living in Coombe. l an e, bad nearly murdered her husband, by st a bbi ng hi m ofM a e l x le c t i t te w m e e r n e t o i n n in the head with a knife. On the man's returning home to dinner a quarrel took place between him and his wife, which was unfortunately terminated by her seizing table-knife and stabbing him in the face. In the course of the afternoon the woman was brought before Mr. E. H. Dickinson, at the magistrates' office, but as it was merely intended to have her remanded, the only evi dence taken was that of Police-Sergeant Jeffs of the couatry constabulary, who deposed as follows : I received information shortly after one o'clock to-day that a man had been stabbed by his wife in Coombe lane. I proceeded to the house in which the prisoner, Eliza Snelling, lives, and there saw a large quantity of blood in the doorway, in a pan, and in a bucket. The prisoner was in a lower room. She said, I'm not going to run away." I went up stairs and saw her hus band, Jehn Snelling, lying in bed. I raw that be had a the right side of his face. very long cut, strapped up, on It extended from the temple to the chin. Before I spoke to him he moved his lips as I put down my ear to him. He said, very faintly, " Take my wife into c ustody fir attempting to murder me." That was all he said, and, as he appeared so very e xhausted, I did not ask him realy questions, I then came down stairs and took the prisoner into custody. On proceeding to the house a second time I received the knife, a small table one, from the prisoner's daughter. On showing it to the prisoner she said, " That is the knife I did it with; I sharpened it to clean a sheep's head." I consider the man is in a very dangerous state. On being asked if she had any thing to say, she stated that both she and her husband were in fault, and if she bad not stood in her own defence she might have been murdered herself. The prisoner was then remanded till Friday next,—Sherborne Journal.
