FATAL COLLISION BETWEEN AN AMERICAN SCREW STEAMER AND A BRIG. Yesterday Mr. Baker and a respectable jury met at the Town of Ramsgate, 'Wapping, to institute an inquiry relative to the death of George Grainger, aged 26, who, with another man, whose body has not been found, named George Tate, was drowned on the 7th inst., off Erith, in c(nsequence of a col lision between the American and European screw steamer Argo, of 2,300 tons, and the Wilthen, 171 tons, of Whitby , to which they were attached. Afr. E. Waite's, solicitor, Greenwich, attended for Mr. Grainger, captain of the Wilthed, whose son was one of the unfortunate deceased, and Mr. C. Willsher was engaged for the com p an y. J. m dgg i ssen , cook on board the the Wilthen, said that the crew of the vessel, which was laden with coals, consist ed of the captain, the mate (Tat e ), him self, and four others. On the day in question, about four in the afternoon, they were near Erith, be calmed, and in the middle of the stream of the Thames, when they saw the Argo approaching them. The captain and some more of the men called out these on board the Argo to port the helm. Witness saw no alteration in the ship's course,upon observing which he, Grainger, and Tate, together with two men got into the boat at the stern of the vessel, in the water. They had scarcely reached it when the Wilthen was struck by the Argo, which afterwards passed over the boat, sending the whole of those in it into the water. Witness and two of the men were saved by a boat of the Preventive service. In answer to the coroner, the witness said that after the callfit-oimmeor those the pil o t o f th e Argo to pass on bo ar d th e Wil thenthere was plenty of and e there clear o f them. The captain h a d no power over the vessel el the a s vessel was was dr r go wind. It was high tide, pping down with the stream. The Argo, he thought, going 14 knots an hour. stern of the vessel was taken By a Juror—The e t. was taken away. clean off, and the main Had there been a swell itrwlgguing obyld haayseteßuaLke.r. It The was afterwards towed ashor e steamer h d boats di on board .d not stop, nor give assistan ce , though it a Peacock, a Preventive officer, who yeti the lives of th , three Tien, confined the evidence,a was about 300 yards cff, and distinctly heard He on board the Wilthen, "port helm." He ttioau calll i acn.,ea g o i n t there was time for the steamer to hav e either side of the brig. The steamer was going with great speed. He saw no reason why it should not have kept the middle of the river. The brig was plainly to be seen, and there was no craft near if. Mr. waites, after some remarks from the coroner as to whether the affair was likely to be entertained criminally, observed he was instructed to say that the ca , e wou:d be left in the of the coroner and jury. The coroner finally adjourned the inquiry to Thursday next, directing that, in the meanwhile, a post mortem examination of the body should take Place. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 21, 1857.

The evil effects attending the policy lately adop ted by the Frenca Emperor, in sending vessels to the coast of Africa, for the purpose of procuring and carrying emigrants to the French colonies in the West Indies, is thus given in the last number of the African, furnished by a correspondent at Lagos, under date September 0 : * Information has been received that the Emperor of the French, through a contract made with the house of Regis at Marseilles, who have a factory at Whydah, is actually carrying out the sug gestions of the West India deputation by sending , a screw steamer called the Stella to Whydah to pur chase 1,200 slaves, ship them on board, and call them free emigrants. But the Emperor's intention having evidently been made known in Havannah, Brazil, and New York, several months since, a copy of his contract with Monsieur Regis having been published in a Bahia commercial paper, the slave dealers, their agents, and accomplices have, under French anspicas, largely renewed their inhuman traffic at Whydah, but as they give much higher prices for Monsieurpße prime slaves can by slavestban the Emperor's agent, the Spaniards are actual! y h d i s r i c v o i n n t g r a t c h tafford e Fre French ht agentto do, out of his own market--the highest price the French agent is able to pay for slaves is 50 dollars, while the Spanish supercargoes pay as high as 90 Sollars for an able-bodied slave, consequently the French can only purchase what the Spaniards reject - , and even then cannot ob tain a full cargo for the Stella, which vessel it is stated is gone to another factory of M. Regis, at the River Gaboon, to try and get slaves cheaper, and complete her full cargo of 1,200. This is what is wished to be palmed off on the people of England as free emigration from Africa ! The great stimulus to the slave trade given by this moat discreditable transaction on the part of a leading power i n Eu r ope, th e p eop l e o f which coun try, when their voices were free, declared slavery at an end for ever in the colonial possessions of France, is producing great evil in the Yoruba and other countries where its influence is felt, and up rooting all the good done iu three years of peace and freedom from slave trade in the Bight of Benin. Already the Abbeokutaus who last year brought 1,500 tons of palm oil to Lagos to sell have this year starchy brought 500 tons, and the unwilling people have been forced to follow their chiefs to war, in order to fee-d- the demand for slaves at Whydah. The unwillingness of the bulk of the inhabitants of that interesting town to abandon their legiti mate commerce and their cotton plantations may be gathered from the following proclamation of the war chiefs of Abbeokuta, made public at a large meeting convened by them on Saturday, the 13th of June last : "1. That in order to procure a large army for the Abio war soon to be undertaken trade must be stopped now and during the war, nothing must bo sold and nothing bought. "2. In order to th!s, the passages by land and the river to Igai, Ibaddan, I Korrodo, Illorin, Lagoa, and other adjacent towns that trade with Abbeokuta, must be stopped. "3. That no canoe or canoes be allowed to ap pear in the river, excepting t'le missionaries who are no traders. "4. That instant death on the spot be the penalty inflicted upon violation of any of these rules." This is the result of the revival of the slave trade by France. The people of Ibaddan, a town larger and more populous than Abbeokuta, but who have not felt to the same extent the beneficial influences of legitimate commerce, are now preparieg to attack the people of Jaboo, the markets of winch country, held every eighth day, produce during the palm-oil season from 100 to 150 tons of oil each market day. One evil feature in the French slave-trade is that we have no treaty with France for the suppression of the slave trade. The last convention with Fiance, concluded in May, 1845, to last ten years, having expired in May 1855 ; and even if there existed a treaty, this being a government speculation, could not be interfered with, and that while the natives (who cannot understand the reason why) see our English ships of war seize the Spanish vessels en gaged in the slave trade, remark that they do not in terfere with the French vessels, no explanation about free emigration could be understood by Ahem. They see in both cases money paid for slaves, and no talking to them could ever make them compre hend that any thing else can possibly be intended by the white man, When he buys elaves and goes to a great expense in traushipping them to a country across the leg sea, but to work them as slaves. As to these poor people being brought back at the ex piration of ten ye Ira (that is, such of them as should be alive at that period) as free men, the proposition is absurd to those who have lived in Africa. If brought back again to the countryfrom whence they were shipped, they would in a short time be ail made slaves labourslavesagain to , probablyan t d he\vestln resold for another av p a l n an ua ta h tio and ns ten years, sh ou ld the i n i qu it ous s y s t em t o endure. Even th ose em i grants from da H i Brazil, who, after purchasing their own free dom in those countries are, if they return and land elsewhere than at L agos (where they come under British protection)immediately plundered of every thing, and either sold or put to death as was the case ten years since, when a Brutal Poituguese cap ta'n, who had embarked 46 self -emancipated Afri cans at Bahia, under promise of landing them at Lagos, forced them on shore at Whydah. They were plundered of everything as soon as landed, and then marched up to Abomy, and the only tid ings ever heard of these poor people were that the monster Nero, King Gezo, had enslaved all the children and put the ad u lt s t o death. Another slaver, an A mer i c an brigantine, the Eliza Jane, was brought into this port on Satur day evening last, in ch arge o f one of the officers of her Majesty's ship Alect o , by a boat of which ves sel she was captured on the 24th August last, off Malemba, carrying the usual e quipments for the slave trade, and two slaves. Several other vessels are reported to have been captured Twoonotfhe them,co as t t and heen on eli h et esi,r way to this co lony.taken near Whydah, on susp i c i on , and the brig a Spanish bark, William Clarke, Am er i can, w i t h ou t colours or o t papers, with from 7001. to 8001. in money, by the Firefly. Another, a schooner reported to have been taken about five or six weeks since in the Bights, by the Antelope, with 190 slaves ; and a brig taken off Cahenda, by the Myrmidon, the captain and, greater part of the crew having previously aban doned her, taking with them a large amount of money which was on board. Two Spanish vessels, a schconer and barque, are also reported to have been captured off Ben gola, and taken into Loando. A canoe, with upwards of forty slaves, has also been brought in during the past week, taken off the Bannanas, by the M anager of Kent, a ft er some re sistance, the party in charge of the canoe having fired into their pursuers on their nearing them, and doing considerable damage to their boat, when they in return were fired into and the captain wounded. This boat is said to have been taken under the very nose of H.M.S. Brune, cruising there at the time. I (From the Colonisation Heral.l.) Several of the most powerful nations of the earth have made an effort to put an end to the iniquitous slave trade. Much has been accomplished, but it appears, however, that the illicit commerce is by no means extinguished. A gentleman, who re cently arrived at New York from the coast of Africa, states that he learned from good auth or i ty that there were thirty vessels, all sailing under th e P ortuguese flag, lying in the creek at the mouth of the C ongo River, waiting for cargoes of slaves, and see k ing for u s iers. opportunities pers on Persons were get stationedto sea near the mouth of the river, to give warning of th e v i c i nity of, unperceiv e d b y th e cr national cruisers and thus to announceopportunities, when with dark night and a fair wi n d th ese traders inhuman beings might effect their escape i n safety. Not long ago a brig (supp ose d to be an American craft) was making her way out of the mouth of the Congo River, with 400 negroes on board, when she was espied by a Briti s h steamer, which promptly gave chase. The brig slipped away from her pursuer with the greatest ease. The steamer fired several shots at her, but without success. When the brig had got out of reach of the steamer's guns, the captain, by way of tantalisin g the baffled cruiser, ordered a negro to be pulled up to the yard arm, where he was allowed to hang for some time, as an insulting token of the acknowledged character of the vessel. The captain also si gn ifi e d his exultation by standing , at the stern fiddl ing as his brig scudded away. .T This statement i s well cal culated to produce a thrill of indignation and hor ror. It might be doubted, but that we have con- stant accounts of the seizure of suspected slavers at some of the leading ports of the United States, while it is well known that thousands of slaves are landed every year on the Island of Cuba. The very perils that beset the trade make the tempta tion to the mercenary the stronger, because when, they manage to escape a cargo of slaves the prAits are enormous. The governments imme diately concerned, and bound together by treaties, should not permit themselves to be baffled by the infamous and despera'e men who are engaged in this abomination. They should make still more vigorous efforts, and thus vindicate the principles of humanity. Let the reader imagine the scenes that are likely to be enacted on board the thirty vessels above re ferred to, the incidents, as well on land as on the sea—the anguish, the agony, the resistance, the stripes, the suffocation, the death, and if not the death, the life-long bondage ; and ho may then form some faint idea of this modern horror. And yet we have, iu the United States, an executive who has recommended a revival of the trade by authority of law, and who has even endeavoured to persuade his fellow-citizens that the system is every way commendable and justifiable. This, isoo, in the niaeteenth century, and in the age of the steam engine, the railroad, and tha electric telegraph ! The fact affords a bitter commentary upon the force of prejudice, and the weakness of poor human nature. Theidea t ha t the chiefmagistrate of a flourishing Com monwealth should coolly recommend ono class of hu man beings to enter into an organised plan to seize and bear away from their homes another class, and then to sell them into perpetual bondage, is indeed monstrous. Such an outrage detailed in the pages of romance would bo ridienled as preposterous and unnatural ; or, if believed, the nation recommend or sustaining it would be regarded as worse than barbarian. We have looked with special interest to see in what light the thinking men, and especially the religious men of the south would regard this effort to revive the slave trade. We rejoice that nearly all denounce it, were it practicable, in no mistake .. . . able terms of condemnation. Even the committee of a South Carolina Legislature, to whom the re- commendation of their 6overnor to this effect was referred, have declined to make any report upon it, thus virtually rejecting it—a fact that brings honour to South Carolina. The recant Southern Convention laid the subject on the table by a vote of 68 to 16, equivalent to unanimity. The news paper press of the entire north and of a large por tion of the south, have simultaneously turned their engines of cold water upon it, and so utterly extin - guishing it that it scarcely emits a smoke. And at the motion of a soutlArn member the House of Representatives hate resolved, by a large majority that they "regard all suggestions or propositions of every kind, by whomsoever made, for the re vival of the African slave trade, as shocking to the moral sentiment of the enlightened portion of man kind, or any act on the part of Congress, legislating or concurring in, or 1e,,0u - liminff that horrid and in: human traffic, would justly subje3t the Unit.%l States to the reproach of all civilised and Christian people throughout the world." Thus both govern ment and people promptly refuse to engage in or countenance it. On the contrary, it is gratifying to find that in the estimates of appropriations for the ensuieg year, provision is made for a liberal . _ . sum to aid in the suppression of this illegal traffic ; and there is good reason to believe that the general government - is iu earnest in its efforts in this direction.

In consequence of the crowded state of Chatham garrison, caused by the large arrivals of recruits for the purpose of joining the several depots attached to the Indian battalions, an order was yesterday received by Captain G. W. Stackpool, command ing the depot of the 18th Royal Irish, attached to the 3d battalion, directing him to hold in readiness the companies of that depot to proceed from St. Mary's Barracks as soon as a station can be found to accommodate them. The depot com panies consist of 7 officers and about 500 men of all ranks. Accounts have been received of tlJe arrival of the Liverpool, troop-ship, at Rio Janeiro, all well, on the 20th Sept., afar experiencing some rather bad weather. The Brilliant, 20, Captain J. A. Paynter, at Chatham, has been strippel, and the whole of her internal fittings and stores removed. She will be paid off this day, whet her officers and crew will be granted leave, previously to joining the Racoon, 22,_ steam corvette. The Cadmus, 21, screw corvette, at Chatham, is ordered ti be brought forward for commission. The Heron, 12, sloop, Commander W. H. True cott, for the coast of Africa, is ready for sea, and is awaiting her sailing orders from the Admiralty. She is expected to leave Chatham on the 26th. The court martial which sat on board the St. Vincent in Portsmouth harbour, on Thursday, to try Lieutenant Bradshaw, of the Juno, on the charge published in The Sun of that day, did not conclude its sitting until very late ; the charge was declared partly proved, and the prisoner sentenced to be severely reprimanded. He was ably assisted by Mr. James Hoskins, soli citor, of Gosport, ex-deputy-judge-advocate of the fleet. The same court proceeded yesterday to try Mr. Draw, late acting master of the Juno, on the two charges publishes on Thursday. Mr. Hoskins also assisted this officer. The trial was not over when this report left. Rear-Admiral of the White C. Graham, C. 8., died at his residence on Thursday last, aced 61. By his death Rear-Admiral of the Blue H. F.

Gordon, C. 8., late of the Victory, it is reported, will succeed to the command of her Majesty's ship Blenheim, and the superintendeuce of the steam fleet iu reserve at Portsmouth, on the re moval of Captain _Pelham. The new screw-steam line-of-battle ship Renown of 11 guns at Sheerness, is to be immediately com missioned. Her complement ordered is 860 officers and men. The new screw-steam line-of-battle ship Meeanee of 80 guns, now in the fitting basin at Sheerness, is being also prepared for commission. The screw steam line-of-battle ship Cressy, of 80 guns, ha been taken into No. 2 Dry Dock at Sheer ness, to be brought forward for immediate service. The Royal George, 102, screw steamship, at Sheerness, has been taken into No. 3 Dry Dock, and is now being rigged by the Seamen of the For midable and Edinburgh under the superintendence of the master-attendant of the yard. The Persian, 12, gun-sloop, Commander Chads, has been put out of dry dock at Sheerness, and is now moored at the swinging-buoy ready for ad justing her compasses, preparatory to her depar ture for the coast. An order has been received at Sheerness from the Admiralty to send the screw line-of-battle ship Co lossus, 80, to Chatham, where she is to be fitted for commission forthwith. A general court-martial was held last week in the Assembly-room of the Royal Artillery Barracks, Woolwich, for the trial of gunner and driver John Day, of the Ist company, 7th bat., Royal Artillery, on charges of scandalous and mutinous conduct to wards Capt. Fisher, who was in command of the company, and for having refused, with an oath, to obey his orders. The whole of the chargesbaving been proved, and the sentence ratified and approved by r 4 c. STAMPED 5D.] the Cornmandin--in-Chief, the first portion of the judgment was yesterday morning carried out, when the prisoner WIS marched to the Royal Artillery riding establishment, and in the pre sence of the usual numb -r of his comrades and their officers he underwent the allotted puniQh ment of 50 lashes ; af. er which ho was removed to the infirmary for medical treatment. He was likewise sentenced to be imprisoned in Fort Clarence for two years. The hardened deportment displayed by the prisoner during the infliction of the punish ment is scarcely conceivable. Her Majesty's troop-ship Rhadamanthus, Master Commander Sturdee, is ordered to be paid off on her return to Woolwich from Portsmouth, after which she is to be fitted out and recommissioned with a complement of 69 hands. The following appointments were made at the Admiralty yesterday : Commander—A. Wodeheuse, to the Alacrity. Lieutenants—E. G. Kirby, to the Lapwing ; Hon, F. W.

NEW SCHOOL CHURCH IN AGAR-TOWN.—The school church, the foundation-stone of which was laid in May last by Lord Robert Grosvenor, was opened yesterday In the most neglected portion of Agar town, St. Pancras, lying between St. Paul's-road and the back Of the Great Northern Railway station The building is of brick, with painted roof and belfry ; the general appearance being ecclesiastic rather than scholastic. The interior is not without some pretension to architectural beauty. The roof is supported by beams of limitation oak, supported on bosses, and at the upper end there is a little recess or chancel with an open screen and dwarf railing. Within this enclosure there is a commu nion tabl e and 60 03111 church f urn it ure i n str i ct k eep i ng with the c h aracter of the place. There are, of course, no pew s o f any kind, but moveable seats and low forms are ranged in rows right and left, which can be used either by the children at school hours, or by the congregation during divine service. The building is constructed to hold 400 persons, and the entire cost, in cluding soma necessary offices, is 1,2001. Of this sum 8001. have been subscribed, and the rector, the .Rey. Canon Dale, is responsible for the balance. DEATH OF VICE ADMIRAL OVEN. Accounts have been received of the death of Vice Admiral William Fitzwilliam Owen, at St. John's, New Brunswick, on the 3d inst. Admiral Owen was brother of the late Admiral Sir Edward Owen, G.C.8., and was a veteran officer of 69 years' standing, having entered the navy so far back as 1778. Although undecorated, it will be seen that during his active service of 34 years under the pendant he earned his various grades by hard fighting. He was a "Ist of June" officer, and was perhaps more acquainted with the details of the Spithead mutiny—the real mutiny of the fleet—than any survivor of those times. Ad miral Owen was in the receipt of the admiral's ser vice pension, which now reverts to the patronage of the First Lord of the Admiralty. We subjoin a sketch of the services of the deceas,-d. This officer entered the navy June 4, 1788, as midshipman, on board the Culloden, 74, and was in that ship, under Captain Schomberg in the famous action of June 1. On his return to England from the Cape of Good Hope, whither he bad gone in the Ruby, 64, Capt. Hon. Henry Edwin Stanhope, he joined, in November, 1795, the London, 98, bear ing the flag in the Channel of Vice Admiral John Colpoys. For his conduct during the mutiny at Spithead he was promoted, June 12, 1797, to the rank of lieutenant ; and at the same time placed in command of the Flamer, gun vessel. He was next, between Dec., 1798, and Oct., 1801, employed, prin cipally in the Channel, on board the Charon, 44, Captain John 111‘Kellar ; Gorgon, Captain Robert , Williams ; and Namur, flag ship of Earl St. Vincent, and for 7 months in command of the Nancy, fire vessel. Assuming command, July 8, 1803, of the Sea Flower, brig of 14 guns, Lieut. Owen, after serving for a time on the French coast, sailed for the East Indies, where he effected the capture, July 15, 1800, of Le Charles, French national ketch. In the following September he explored part of the Maldive Islands, and their separating cha,nuels, which had never been invested and on November 10, in the same year, he cliscoveied an excellent channel, now bearing the name of his brig, situated between the islands of Sai Berout and Poulo Pore, near the west coast of Sumatra. On the 27th of the latter month, having conducted Sir 'Edward Pellew's squadron through a very intricate naviga- tion into Batavia Roads, he there distinguished , himself by his gallantry in conem.end of a division ttf boats at the capture and destruction of a Dutch frigate, seven brigs of war, and about 20 armed and other merchant vessels. We subsequently, Dec. 11, 1807, find him contributing to the dest, action of the dockyard and stores at Griessee, in the island of Java, and of all the men of war remaining to Hol land in India Iu September, 1807, Lieutenant Owen had the misfortune to be taken captive by the French, who detained him in the Mauritius until June, 1810 ; from August, to November iu which year he was employed, we believe, in super intending the transports sent from Madras to the Isle of France. He then, having been awarded a second promotal commission, bearing date May 20, 1809, obtained command of the Barracouta, 18, part of the force employed in the summer of 1811 at the reduction of the Island of Java, where he assisted at the debarkation of the troops at Chil lingching, and continued attached to the army until after the surrender of Batavia. In December, 1811, Capt. Owen, who had been advanced to post rank on the 2d of the preceding May, and had held for a short time the command of the Piemontaise frigate at Bombay, was appointed to the Cornelia, 32. In 1812 he took possession, with a squadron under his orders, of the Island of Palembang. He returned to England with a China convoy in June, 1813, and was subsequently appointed, March 27, 1815, to the surveying service on the lakes of Ca nada, whence he came home in May, 1816. On the 10th August, 1821, he was appointed to the Leven, 24, in which vessel he was for upwards of four years employed in conducting a survey of the coast of Africa ; and on the 2d Feb., 1827, to the Eden, 26, fitting for another expedition to the African coast, where, prior to his departure for South America, he was engaged in forming a settlement at Fernando Po ; and having paid the last-men tioned ship off at the close of 1831, he was ap pointed, April 22, 1847, to the Columbia, steam sur veyingvessel, of 100 horse-power, stationed in North America. Since Dec. 21, 1847, the date of his ele vation to flag rank, he has been on half-pay. Assisted by various officers, Rear Admiral Owen, during his command of the Leven, constructed the following charts and views—viz , 22 of the west coast of Africa, 31 of the oast coast of Africa, 12 of the east coast of Madagascar, 17 of the west coast of Madagascar, and 1 of the harbour of Grand Port in toe Mauritius. He also, we understand, surveyed the coast of Asia from Cape Comorin along the shores of Malabar and Surat. together with the whole extent of the sea-side of Persia and Arabia. In 1828 he constructed two charts of the Seychelles and one of the port and bay in the island of Mahe. He had executed a chart of the mouth of the river Demerara, and published in conjunc tion with Captain Richard Owen, " Table of Lati tude and Longitudes by Chronometers of Places in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans ; with an Essay on the Management and Use of Chronometers." We should have stated yesterday that Captain John Elphinstone Erskine (1838), C. 8., A.D.C., the senior on the active list, obtains his promotion to the rank of rear admiral of the blue, vice Rear Admiral H. F. Greville, 0.13., to be vice admiral of the white, vice C. Graham, C. 8., deceased. Captain James Hope, C. 8., A.D.C. (1838) gets his flag rank by the death of Admiral Owen ; and Captain Superintendent Horatio Austin, C. 8., of Deptford Dockyard, becomes senior and next in turn for promotion. In addition to the admiral's service-pension,Sir Charles Wood has now at his disposal the nomme tion of two naval aides-de-camp to the Queen. MILITIA. A. detachment of the Oxford Militia (in command of Col. Bowles, doing duty in Woolwich Garrison) is to proceed this morning to Tilbury Fort, consist ing of Capt. Lambert, Lieut. Gifford, Lieut.

Major-General Williams, commandant of Wool wich Garrison, on Thursday inspected the whole of the East Kent Mtlitia, in command. of Colonel Brockman. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. —At a meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works yesterday, Mr. Thwaites in the chair, it was unanimously resolved, "That the engineer be instructed to csnsider and report as to the expediency of extending the outlets of the existing sewers on either side further down into the river, so as to ensure a great dilution of the sewage waters, and to make an approximate of the cost. Mr. Alderman Cnbitt said that by the report of the engineer he thought the cost would be about 100,0001. An application by Messrs. Scovell, the wharfingers, far permission to Erect an iron bridge across Tooley-street, waq unauicaously refund. LAND x ;411 ' 7 ;41 1 DUBLIN, FRIDA THE MONETARY CRISIS. X S The Frcemans Journal of this morning, in the course of some remarks upon the pro g ress of the monetary crisis in England and Scotland, states that some vile miscreants are endeavouring to create a run for gold on the branches of the Irish joint-stock banks, the Provincial, the National, and the Bank of Ireland itself being the establishment selected as the intended victims of this wicked machination, The Fs-eel/ten obsorvt,s : " All there establishments; were, however, prudently prepared for the possible outburst of such folly, and gold was supplied in abundance to all the branches. In Lime rick and in Cork a partial run ou the Bank cf Ireland, the Provincial, the Nations', sad on the Savings-bank WAS persevered in for a time, but abandoned when the promptness of these establishmeuts to meet the demand became evident, and some of those who withdrew depo sits and obtained gold are now returning the gold to the banks. It is gratifying to see that in Ireland people are recovering their reason before the mania had time to do the only harm it was capable of doing here—compelling the banks to restrict accommodation. It is quite true that a universal and simultaneous run for geld on all the banks would close every bank in the United Kingdom, and probably produce almost universal bankruptcy. But no such run is possible, and no run that could be made in Ireland could do more than give trouble to the banks, and bring serious loss to the people who would be active in it. It could not injure the banks which are now f u ll y prepared to issue any am oun t of gold that could by pos. sibiity be demanded, but it would prove doubly iejuri• ous to the property, of thecountry, and bring irremediable ruin on many now thriving and prosperous traders." The Banner of Ulster, alluding to the last list of commercial disasters in England, mentions as a re markable fact that only one of the many failures that have been announced has touched the mer chants and traders of Belfast ; and in this instance the effect of it will barely be felt by the two or three parties concerned. It is al,se a gratifying fact that there are no failures to announce in Belfast. There are, however, other announcements in the same journal which are by no means of the same cheering character. Of the powetieeen weavers it says although such a course was fully at. - two of the principal firms in Belfast e. she manufacture of linen by power have resseved to eon their engines aboit time. • One of the factories has already commeeeedivorking eight days in the fortnight, and the other will next week be placed on half time. This will greatly reduce the earnings of several hundreds of workers, and subject them to un usual privations, at the present high price of provisions. It is to be feared that the remaining powerloom houses will be obliged to follow the example. Tee reduction of hours has no direct connection with the monetary crisis, hut is owing chiefly to the increase of stocks and the disinclination to fulfil American orders, should such offer, or even where they are actually on hand." The state of the cross-Channel trade, too, indi cates a remarkable depression of the trade between the two countries,— " We understand—and are not surprised to learn that such is the case—that within the last few weeks our import and export trade with the other side of the Chan nel has bean checked to a considerable extent by the present unsettled state of commercial and monetary affairs. Two steamers are now found sufficient for the Llverpool line instead of four, and those running to all the other parts in England and Scotland only obtain partial cargoes either inwards or outwards. This is scarcely to be wondered at when the outward-bound trans-Atlantic steamers are leaving wish, in some in stances, cargoes only one-eighth the usual amount." But it is in the sewed muslin trade—one of the most important branches of commerce in Belfast— ' that a great check has been given to the prosperity of the capital of Ulster. The failure of the house of Macdonald and Co. appears to have been se• verely felt in the north of Ireland. The Banner says : " That house had grown and grasped until it became too great for any ordinary man to manage its details. The engine, thcugh unfit to drive the cumbrous ma chinery, was forced on, until at length the boiler burst, scattering dismay and destruction on all with in its reach. It has been well said that, had the bmi ness attempted by the firm in question been done by 30 houses, the trade, the country, and workpeople would have been much better to-day. The failure of Messrs. Macdonald has not only thrown out of employ ment the thousands of workers engaged by that firm, but the dread of the peremptory sale of their stocks of finished goods, and the effect it would produce on the markets for several months afterwards, causes far-seeing manufacturers to desist from production, well knowing that every jobbed parcel of goods destroys, f, r the time being, the real value of regular manufactures. This feeling, together with the late panic in New York and the pressure at home, has so acted on the trade here that not one in every 20 of the girls formerly employed is able to obtain wcrk at almost any rate of wages. We meat not omit stating that, whatever may have been the short comings of the firm of Macdonald and Co. as regards their policy in the market for goods, no charge could be made against them as employers ; and we have heard that since the suspension of the firm every single piece of work in the hands of sewers through tho country has been re gularly paid for as soon as it was returned to the head warehouse in Belfast. As soon, however, as each saterse finishes, no farther work is given. In the heyday of their enterprise the Messrs. Macdonald keptabout 15,000 hands in regular employment. Messrs. Lindsay, of Victoria. street, had several thousand gills at work throughout the country ; Messrs. S. It, and T. Brown were most exten sive employers ; J. and W. Wallace, Major, Brothers, and a host of ethers gave full work and wages to almost incredible numbers of girls and women, but nearly all such sources of labour have been closed up, and the vast sums so paid away no longer being comfort to the firesides in cabin and cotta ,, ' e. In the case o f the sudden collapse of the s ewe d muslin trade no warning note told of coming ill. A few months ago the houses connected with the different branches were in full work, and prospects of an active trade for a long period were highly satisfactory. Irrespective of the tens of thousands of females who have been thrown idle in the provinces, there are now immense numbers of the higher order of workers unable to find a single day's employment in Belfast. Engaged in the finish of goods at the several warehouses iu town two years ago there were about 500 young women, and most of them were of a very superior class, well educated for their rank, well conducted in their habits, and in point of skill un equalled by any other grade of female artisans. Besides these ' white workers,' there were not less than 2,000 girls and women engaged in the gray work— that is, in embroidering goods for the several firms, local and Scottish. The wages so earned added materially to the weekly income of many a household. Good workers could earn 6. to 7s. in the six days, and ordinary a, hands were able to make 33. to Sc. Many of the wives and children of working men were exceedingly expert in sewing, and, after having attended to house hold duties, could have earned ls. a-day. The total amount of goods given out by all the houses in town at present would not, we understand, give work to one in 20 of these people ; and in the mass of yonug women engaged in the finishing department the ratio of the idle to the employed is no less exteasive. Up to the present, or at least until within the last fortnight, num bers of hands got partial work in finishing goods which had been in hand at the time of the first great change in the trade ; bet nearly all such sources of employment are now dried up, and thus hundreds of well-conducted and intelligent women will—most of these, at least— be left without means of support." As an instance of the gold mania among the farmers in the coutOt of Limerick, the Evening Post narrates the following on the authority of a local correspondent : "A gentleman who fills several important agenciei in the south was applied to by a great many of the tenants to identify them at the different banks, whence they de sired to withdraw their deposits. On the gentleman re monstrating with them on the groundlessness of their fears, they put the sincerity of his explanation to the test—' Would he receive their draughts on the banks for their rent, not due till March next, and give them receipts r He did so at once, and obtained checks for a considerable amount." THE I'OPE AND THE SEPOYS. The Evening Post authoritatively announces that the Must Rev. Dr. Cullen has received 1,000 francs from his Holiness the Pope, and 600 francs froin the Cardinal Prefect of the Propaganda, for the relief of he sufferers in India from the atro cities committed by the Sepoys. Perhaps after this hint we shall on some early day hear of the Irish Roman Catholic clergy following in the wake of the Sovereign Pontiff; and evincing their sym pathy in the same cause by appointing a day for a general collection throughout the whole kingdom.
