An important branch of the Company's business arises from an already established intercourse with the Peninsula. 4th. It is in possession of two advantageous mail contracts with Government. The Company being already provided with the establishment necessary for carrying on its present operations and existing mail contracts, the additional vessels required for extending the communication to India will be contracted for as soon as the Royal charter of incorporation, which has been applied for, shall have passed the Great Seal. The Directors only intend to issue at present a limited num ber of shares at par, any further issue being reserved until after the payment of a dividend, when, from the circumstances and prospects of the concern, no doubt is entertained that the shares will command a high premium. The conditions required by the Lords of the Privy Council in respect of the bona fide property and paid-up capital of the, Company having been complied with to their Lordships' satis faction, the Directors rely on their application for a Royal charter being agreed to, but it is not deemed expedient at pre sent to issue a prospectus.

THE EASTERN QUESTION. The following article appears in the Quolidienne of Wednesday. It is from the pen of the Duke de Valmy, the Royalist deputy, who has distinguished himself in the Chamber by some very able speeches on the Eastern question : ,‘ When serious events intervene, when the policy of a Cabinet compromises the interests of a country, is it meet t h at t h e persons w h ose mission it is to represent those interests should keep silent and wait for the Chamber to be opened, in order to prefer their tardy and useless reproaches ? I think nor. I rather think that it be comes a duty not to lose an instant in pointing out the blunders of those in power, in order to stop them, if there be yet time, from pursuing that perilous path in which they have ventured, and to indicate that which they ought to have followed. " It is that duty which I am going to fulfil, not with out lamenting the necessity in which I am placed to defend myself, as it were, from the national impulse to which I should wish to associate myself, and to which I should enlist myself with joy if the honour of France depended on the sword's point ; but when, according to my judgment, the situation is not so desperate but that means might be found to remedy it, I find myself imbued with sufficient courage to give vent to4all my opinions. I have not here to occupy myself itlith what may have been said apart from the question - I wish to keep always in view affairs in a practical poi n t o f v i ew , f o ll ow i ng d i pl oma ti c movem ents in their regular or capricious manoeuvres, in order to judge of them, to point out the errors, and to indicate the means by which it appears to me possible and even easy to repair them. " I shall not say that I have foreseen all that has happened, and that I announced it from the tribune ; for I do not wish to satisfy my amour propre at a time when the country is called to arms ; but I am compelled to repeat, that what has happened was in evitable, and that it arose from the natural consequences of the instability and of the confused state of our policy. " And in the first place, let us re-establish the facts which the Government and its official disavowals have made intricate. Amongst the acts to which it is neces sary to direct attention I must remember, before all, the declaration of the 27th of July, 1839. Everybody is acquainted with that declaration ; but I here subjoin the text of it, because it is the keystone to the nego tiations which have taken place ; therein lies the strength of the combined Powers, and the weakness of our Cabinet. " The following is the declaration :- 1." The undersigned have received this morning from their respective Governments instructions, by virtue of which they have the honour to inform the Sublime Porte that the mutual understanding (accord) on the Eastern Question is ensured between the Five great Powers, and to urge her to suspend every definitive determination, without their consent, pending the effect of the interest which they evince for her. (Signed) " PONSONBY. Baron DE ST URMER, Austrian Internuncio. Count DE KOENIGSMARK, Prussian Minister. Baron ROUSSIN, French Ambassador. BOUTENIEFF, Russian Minister. " ' Constantinople, July 27, 1839.' " The good understand►ng or union of the Powers was therefore ensured. There remains but to know upon what basis ? The Queen of England stated it officially on the 27th of August following in the Speech of the Crown : " The same understanding which has brought about th e pacific solution of those questions which are se c omplicated exists relative to the affairs of the East. The Five Powers are equally resolved upon maintain ing the independence and integrity of the Ottoman empire. " The King of the French confirms those explanations on the opening of the Chambers on the 23d of Decem ber following :--- " Our flag, in concert with that of Great Britain, and faithful to the spirit of that union, always so advan tageous for the interests of both countries, has'watched over the independence and immediate safety of the Ot toman empire. Our policy is always to ensure the pre servation of the integrity of that empire, whose existence is so necessary for the maintenance of general peace.' " Why do these declarations form the main prop of foreign Cabinets ? Because they have always acted up and spoken to the like purport. Why do they show our weakness ? Because-w*litve not been faithful to our declarations, and at the present time they may be brought in evidence against us. lam aware that, following, the example of the Ministry of May 12, there is still . a discussion upon the meaning of the word integrity. But we can admit no quibbling to be resorted to respecting the fate of empires; and it would no doubt suffice to appeal to the good sense of Admiral Roussin, to be very soon convinced that he did not understand the integ rity of the Ottoman empire otherwise than the Amtrissa dors with whom he signed the act on the 27th of July. In any case it cannot be supposed that a diplomatic note can be signed without previously being satisfied as to the meaning of the words conveyed in the said act. Tne truth is, that whilst our Ambassador adhered to the declaration of the 27th of July, the policy of the French Cabinet was turning round. Mehemet Ali, who knows the secrets of our civilization, and the influence of the press on the proceedings of the Government, knew how to dazzle and enchant the principal organs of public opinion, and, seconded by them, he brought the Cabinet to espouse his pre tensions on Syria, the Taurus, and the district of Adana. Admiral Roussin had been recalled and sacri ficed to the Paella of Egypt, for having declared that the 1 3 ,icha had outraged France, and that the first op portunity ought to be seized to punish his insolence, by depriving him, in concert with the other Powers, of the provinces which he had conquered. This, we all re member, was followed by certain public manifestations in favour of the Paella. " I pointed out six months ago all that was incon sistent and imprudent in that political tacking about in the presence of acts concocted with the Cabinets. I said that sooner or later the nogotiations which had been broached by M. de I3runow would meet with complete success, because they were based upon acts concocted in earnest, and th a t if we persisted in op posing we should be aba n d one d by eve rybody, even by our pretended allies, and that the Eastern question would be decided without us, and in spite of us. " My observations were not heeded, because it was hoped that England would not come to an under standing with ltus,ia. It was expected that the al liance which had been con tr a cted for the last ten years with the Cabinet of Lo n don, and the advantages which had resulted therefrom, would impose upon it a duty a empire.n not to separate from us on the Orie ntal q u estion. It was thought that it was only necessa r y to g ain time, in order to sow dissension in the co nference. I t was with that view, as it has been a vowed since, that M. Se bastiani sought the assistance o f a Turkish Plenipoten tiary in London. It is 301 for that object apparently, tfhe the integrity Crown ofand to leave hopes to the Po wers of an arran gement, the the 203 Ottoman 0 ofm December madeof that the mentionsp eecb o f o That declaration cannot be explained in any other man ner, especially at a time when the integrity was no l o nger wished for, according to the terms accepted by the Powers. " Notwithstanding all these intrigues, unworthy of a great nation, the conference in London pursued the work which it had commenced on the 27th of July nor Europ e , , 12th of May could it be otherwise. The Powers, which, after' ma ture deliberation, had taken as a basis o f t h e i r compact from b n st t steady 1 0 ( oyt.i. tilande the integrity of the Ottoman empire, could not consis tently revoke such a deter mi nation. Such incon s i stency statesmencould Al n l o t t h i%e who eofrdoirrtcexpected o t r the Cabinet ie the , Ca were t o fall to the ground at the firmness of th e i r reso lutions, a nd that minist r y even was to be at an en d without even changing the aspect o f t h e negotiations in question. " M. Thiers, by succeeding Marshal Soult, thought he could do that which his predecess ors h a d been unable to accomplish. He imat g ined that the E ng li s h alliance had been too much neglected,and that his being in p ower wou ld very soon reestablish between the Cabinets of London and Paris an intimacy which would cause the negotia tions propounded iy M . de Brunow t o b e of no mo ment. Full of confidence, M. Thiers almost compro mised the di,nity ,f the Government by the advances • made to England. Ile which he publiclycommitted therein a great error, which exposed hi s bli ndness, for 1 the President of the Council m ust h ave known th a t M. de Brunow'3 proposals were so advan- i tageous for England, and so much in conformity with her views, t hat she could not remain long without accepting them. M. Thiers must have re membered that the Cabinet of London had given let ters of marque and equipped squadrons in order to ob tain eJneessions which Russia offered throughout the medium of her plenipotentiary in London. M. Thiers must have been aware, also, that Austria and Prussia, were of the same o pinion as Eng'and ; and that, if there were delay in concluding the treaty, i t was with a sinf•ere desire that France might accede to the nego tiations, " The explanations which have recently been given an leave by Lord Palmerston c .no doubt on that score. We do nit wish to congratulate ourselves on those explanations —we shall not go so far as that ; but we take them as n matter of fact, and we conclude therefrom that it is evident the Powers hesitated for a long time to take part therein ; but that, owing to the refusal of France, being placed under the necessity of separating from her, or of ad ourning sine die the solution of a question which places in danger the peace of Europe, they have chosen be tween those two necessities, or, as the case may be, between those two dangers, that which has appeared the less likely to be attended with any serious conse quences with respect to our former declarations, and they have separated from us. It has been publicly stated that France has been duped, and even betrayed ; then those assertions arc withdrawn, and then it seems that public opinion is to be cast off for the purpose of being brought into play a piacere. Such a position compels us to give some explanations, which have become ne cessary in order to re-establish the truth of the cir cumstantial facts. The Powers, at the time of signing the treaty of the 15th July, 1840, addressed a memo randum to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, of which it is useless to cite the terms, but the tenor of which is allowed to be published, since it is in conformity with Lord Palmerston's language. The French Cabinet is reminded that it refused every proposal that was made to it ; the regret which the Powers experienced in sepa rating from France on an European question is ex pressed in this memorandum, but it is given to under stand that former declarations have allowed the Cabinets to reckon upon its neutrality in case coercive measures should be deemed necessary for obtaining the realisation of the treaty of the 15th of July. " I stop here in order not to enter into revelations for which the time is not yet arrived. What I have stated suffices to prove that France has not been duped, and that she has continued to receive the kindest and most official communications respectingthe progress ofthe negctiat " However, it must be confessed that somebody has been duped, for the official journal would not have mani fested on July 13, last, the satisfaction of the Cabinet on the state of the negotiations if the President of the Council had not entertained at that time some secret hopes. In short,it appearspositive that M. Thiers thought till the very last moment of the possibility of retaining Eneand in the alliance of France. Whether he has been deceived by the reports of a secret agent, who held out in language opposed to that of M. Guizot, or whether his partiality for England made him blind to the progress of the negotiations, he was stilltrusting in the English alliance at the very time when the treaty was being signed, and whets the Cabinets addressed him the note which I have spoken of above. " The President of the Council was completely as tounded at such an unexpected coup de main, and re plied by an appeal to arms. " Is it on his part a- serious manifestation, having for object the defence of a national policy—an European in terest in the Eastern question ?or is it but a measure ab irato for the purpose of dissimulating a fa:se position and a retrogade proceeding? These are the points which I am going to examine. And, in the first place does the Cabinet believe in the policy which it professes for some time ? Does it believe Mehemet Ali capable of per forming the part which his partisans affirm he has been called to ? Does the Cabinet think, in a word, that the power of the Viceroy of Egypt is necessary for the equi librium of Europe ? If it entertain such a conviction, why hesitate ? M. Thiers's preparation for arming must be applauded, whatever doubts may be inspired by the consequences of that political determination. " But it must be admitted that the Cabinet has no faith in Mehemet All's power ; it does not see that the question of the equilibrium of Europe is mixed up therein, and it confesses thereto ; for it has declared to the Powers that there was nothing to object to in the arrangement which Europe wished to make, if Mehe met Ali consented thereto. With such a declaration, which places the conduct of France at the will and pleasure of the Viceroy of Egypt, it may be inferred that the Cabinet does not see in Mehemet cause an European interest ; for, if it saw it, it ought to defend it without preposessing itself of the conveniences of that Pacha. The Cabinet does not think either that by supporting Mehemet Ali's pretensions as to Syria it withdraws that country from the influence of England, for if it did it ought to sustain Mehemet Ali in spite of himself. I could say much more, for at this very moment the Cabinet is negotiating with the Viceroy of Egypt in order to prevail upon him to accept pro posals which differ but in a trifling degree from those included in the treaty of the 15th July. The article published in the Revue des Deux Monies, and which emanated from the office of the President of the Council, plainly avows the same. After having encouraged Mehemet Ali, the Cabinet abandons him, and supplicates him to be satisfied with Syria as a life interest, without Adana and. the Holy Ci ties. What is Syria on those conditions? It is a pachalick without a capital, and without frontiers. Mehemet Ali would make himself despicable in the eyes of the Maho medan population if he accepted in a friendlymanner such a position. And what can be said of a Ministry which calls France to arms in order to bring about such a pitiful result—of a Ministry which, for an almost imper ceptible difference, threatens the Cabinets with our anger, and speaks of setting fire to the four corners of Europe ? Evidently the conduct of such a Cabi net, not in gamest ; and all the noise which it has "nada. is but a manceuvre to disguise another political tacking about. It has no faith in Egyptian policy, and disowns it in its diplomatic reports ; it betrays it in its'• acts ; but appearances must be preserved, and public opinion must be exchanged for a retrograde proceeding; and, in order to arrive thereat, the Cabinet could find nothing better than to do that which succeeds at times with brave men in dis guise, and conceals its weakness by a warlike clamour. But let it have a care, for it is a very culpable and danger ous game to play with the feelings of honour belonging to a nation which knows at what point the susceptibility of the French nation will stop—when it will be clearly shown that the Egyptian policy was a lie—that Mehemet Ali, whom the Cabinet had transformed into a hero, was but an ambitious man in their eyes. Who can say that public opinion will not recoil before such an expose as has been effected, and that it will not bring back a se cond time the Cabinet, in spite of itself, to the Egyp tian policy ? And then what will be done with that enthusiasm for which nothing has been prepared, and which has neither object nor plan ? Against whom will the national elan be directed ? What will it do for Egypt after having abandoned it ? .; 13t let us not dwell any l onger o n th ese me l anc h o l y suppositions ; let us no w l oo k i nto t h e po li cy o f t h e Ca binets, at.d wherein lies their strength. And, before I explain myself freely on that policy, may I be permitted to call to mind that it is that which has always appeared to answer in the most satisfactory manner the interests of France and Europe, that which complied in the most formal manner with the spirit of the negotiations ; and, in short, that which I have always defended, always recommended to the attention of the Govern ment ? May I be permitted also to say a few words on the illusions with which public opinion is cradled in, and upon the results which may be attributed to the tri umph of the Egyptian cause? Suppose that Mehemet Ali, owing to the energy of his disposition, and especially by an intervention on the part of France, was to be maintained in the position which we wish to give him, and that the whole of Europe refuses it to him, would that be a solution of the Eastern question ? No ; I say over and over again, no : it would be a state of war between the Cabinets who wished to lower Mehemet Ali's power and France, which would have wished to maintain it in spite of them. And how long might that war be carried on with success ? How long might we reckon upon the assistance of an old man of seventy-two years of age ? How long even upon his fidelity ? For what could we offer to gratify his ambition in compari son with the advantages Russia can ensure him to-mor row, as she has the keys of Asia ? No ; that is not a solution of the Eastern question, and it is understanding matters in a wrong light to confide therein. " The policy which was developed before the Cham bers, and which the foreign Cabinets seem not to have deviated from, is much better calculated to render assistance to the Ottoman empire. In short, wherein lies the greatest danger for that empire ? Is it in the conquests which Russia and England are meditating upon ? No ; that is not the most urgent danger. I cannot be looked upon With suspicion in speaking of these two Powers, for I was the first to ask the Government to pursue a policy which might place the East under shelter from their covetousness. I wa3 the first to denounce the attempts of the Cabinet of London upon Egypt and Syria. I have said often enough what might be ex pected from that magnanimous ally to entitle me to have the right of being listened to, when I state that Russia and England do not look forward to immediate conquests of the Ottoman empire ; what they wish for at the present time is to have preponderating influence. That is what they are ready to divide between them. I had foreseen that division, and I shall presently state what might be done to avert the same ; but let us re turn to the danger which threatens, before anything else, the Ottoman empire. " That danger is in interior revolutions, which would cause Turkey to fall piecemeal, and which would sur render her provinces to the first occupant. The clan ger is not avoided, but provoked, by sanctioning the dismemberment of Syria. It is with that dan ger in view, that the Cabinets have met together, and have come to an understanding in order to proclaim the integrity of the Ottoman. empire. They have understood that the situation of Europe . could not allow them to be passive spectato rs of the fall of the Ottoman Empire, and that it was necessary to revert to those tendencies which in former times ha detached the Greek provinces from them. yhey !,hought, and with reason too, that the principle of integrity being established and recognised, it would prevent a revolution at Constantinople from becoming an opportunity for an European conflagration. They thought, in short, that a I collective protectorate, which wou ld have the destinies • of the Ottoman Empire under the safeguard of all, PRICE sd. would be the best mediator for the ambition of each of them ; and it may be observed, en passant, that France shared that opinion when Admiral Roussin received in structions to sign the declaration of the 27th of July, 1839. The Cabinets have, therefore, good grounds when they state the Viceroy of Egypt threatens the in tegrity of the Ottoman empire ; he wishes to infringe the principle which we recognise ; be must be rendered powerless. He has gained, it is said, great victories, and therein is the greater danger ; what matter those victories, when the peace of Europe is in question ? " I do not examine whether that policy answers the direct interests of the Powers ; but that which is posi tive is, thzt it is in direct accordance with the negotia tions at starting, with the principles which have served as a basis, and that it is sufficient to satisfy the interest of general pacification. If I now look into the conduct of our Cabinet, allowing public opinion to impose upon it a line of policy in which it has no faith, then betraying secretly that policy, I am not afraid to say that a great nation has never so easily been made a dupe of. Humiliation is spoken of, insults likewise. As for my part, I am humiliated at the present time, when I read the orders and counter-orders which the Cabinet gives their jour nals, in order to excite or appease the clans of national honour, at the risk of any caprice. My pride is wounded at seeing the noble feelings of a nation specu lated upon as on the rise or fall of the funds, and to hear a cause openly supported which is in an under handed manner to be abandoned. However, what re mains to be done in the situation in which the Caitinet has so imprudently placed us ? Are there means of restoring to iFrance the influence which belongs to,ber in the Eastern question ? I am fearful to say that it would not be easy to overcome it in a great and complete manner, after the errors committed by the Cabinet, without running the risk of a gene ral war ; but undoubtedly there is a better course than to desert one's engagements, and that which Lap pears to me still pusible. lam not afraid to speak it openly ; for it doe not relate to a diplomatic intrigue, more or less ruse, to break through the compact of the Powers, but to resume her position with Europe, ,and to do it honourably. " The treaty of the 15th of July contains stipula tions which France has not consented to. She can ad here to them in their present state ; but it would not be impossible for France to affix her signature if new con ditions were appended thereto. There are two to be re quired, if the Cabinet wishes to return to the confer ence with a high hand. The first is, that an additional article to the treaty of the 14th of July will stipulate for positive guarantees for the abandonment of the treaty of Unkiar Skelessi. If the Russian Cabinet, as it may be expected, realises the promises which Lor d Palmerston has spoken of—if it renounces formally its exclusive protectorate—it is evident that the Eastern question changes its complexion with respect to Russia. The Egyptian policy, even supposing that it was good and practicable, becomes a dead letter. The equili brium of Europe being no more threatened by Russia, the Pacha of Egypt may be restricted to his natural limits. The engagements which have been made with him may be broken off honourably, for they cannot be personal to him, without being at the same time treason. " With respect to the influence of England upon Syria, you do not require Mehemet Ali to thwart it if you stipulate, in a second additional article, that free dom shall be insured to the Syrian population under the dominion of the Porte. By giving to the unfortu nate inhabitants of that country guarantees for civil and religious liberty, you will preserve sympathies which you have acquired by secular traditions, and you will grasp Syria from the ambition of England. " It would have been easier undoubtedly, at the time the first overtures were made by Russia, to have made note of her concessions, and have modified your policy when events were assuming another form. It would have been to stipulate for the Syrians before the Eng lish sought to intervene in their favour. More condes cendence might have been expected on the part of the different Cabinets before the threats which anger made them resort to. However, the Powers are too much attached to the maintenance of peace to refuse conditions which good faith causes it a duty upon them to consent to. With respect to France, she would perform a much greater part than is proposed to her ; she would have obtained the double object which she ought to propose to herself. She would have restricted the Russian and British influence to their just limits, if she caused to be inserted In the treaty of the 15th of July the liberty of the Bosphorus and that of Syria.

To enter into the details of these affections, to point out the', causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We Lave no hesitation, however, in saying that, there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person t• hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished is find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practice' so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the bees of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real cause of such attack may be, and thus ho will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at sues concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished.

FATAL ACCIDENT. j On Moaday last, being Cowes Regatta, tile Reindeer yacht, belonging to Moore, Esq., the Antelope, Lord Powerscourt, and the Dream, G. Bentinck, Esq., were sailing for a silver cup, when, as the Reind e er was nearing the Nab Light, the main-sheet being racked, the racking gave way, hnd two of her men, William Short and Robert Conway, fell overboard, when the farmer lost his life. The bodies being picked up by the Antelope, were conveyed to the Fortitude Tavern, Broad-street Point, where Conway sti'l bee in a precarious state. An inquest was held on Short on Tuesday afternoon, before 'F. Martell, Esq., coroner, and the following Jury :—Mr. 'F. Little, foreman, Messrs. Faithful, Childs, W. Bayley, Woods, Oxen, P. Suter, H. Sargeant, C. Hills, Main, Atlee, Wear thy. We feel we cannot speak too highly of the Jury for their patient investigation, which lasted upwards of five hours. Amongst the Jury were many nasktleal men, and the foreman is an experienced sailor, who dis played great judgment and decision in conducting the inquiry. The following persons were ewnined ea oath : James North, mariner, of Cowes, belonent to th, Ernma, who was then waiting to convey the body of Short to Cowes stated, he had known the deceased for many years ; he bad left a wife and eight children ; his wife being near her confinement. Was on board tile Reindeer at the time the accident happened ; they were belaying the main sheet when near the Nob Light ; mainsheet was racked ; Conway and Short were hording on ; the racking gave way and they fell overboard ; it was then blowing very hard ; did not hear aby orders given on board to go round and pick the men ep ; heard Mr. Moore, the owner, say, “D —n the cup, go and save the men's lives." Heard a gentleman on board say the persons had been picked up. Tile Foreman then asked, if there were any means taken on board to pick up the men after they were overboard ? but the Coroner contended that the proper way to put the question was, " In your opinion was net all done on board that could be done r The Foreman here expressed his disapprobation at his and the Jury's questions being "construed" by the Coroner, and not put in the manner he wished. He contended that as a Jury to investigate the matter, they had a right to propose what questions they thought fit, and as a conscientious man he could not conic to n decision without his questions being answered in a straightforward way, without prevarication. Mr. Childs, a juror, then proposed the question again. " Were there any means taken on board, and what were they, to rescue the men after they were overboard ?" Witness—The helm was put down for the purpose of saving their lives. Foreman—Could you have rounded the Nab Light: without putting the helm down Witness —So; we had a difficulty as it was. A Juror—Were there any means taken to threw the boat over Witness—No ; the boat was not removed from the deck ; the Nab Light's boat was close to tha people as we rounded the Nab Lights. By the Foreman—Suppose the yacht had been your's, and ou had lost two men overboard, would you not have rounded her, and endeavoured to save their lives ? Witness—The helm was put down—life ought to be saved, if possible. I would have thrown the boat over, but she would have swamped. The Foreman then wished to put the question again to the witness—Were there any means taken on board to pick up the men ? As the question, al though asked many times, had not been answered as he thought it ought to be, he wished the witness to say yes or no, and not prevaricate about the helm being put down, as be knew as well as the witness that was for the purpose of clearing the Nab Light, as had before been explained. If the witness said there were moans used, he would not ask what they were, and he thought that was the only way to get at the truth of the subject. Thc Coroner again objected to the questions being put iu that way, and said he should adopt his own course, upon which several of the Jury suggested, that as the Coroner bad so completely pre judiced the case, that they should be discharged, and a fresh Jury ompannelled. Robert Conway (the unfortunate man who was thrown overboard with the deceased, and who wims so ill in bed as only to admit the foreman and two oilers to be in the room at the time of taking his depositions), said he was on hoard the Reindeer yacht, belonging to Moore, Esq. on the 17th instant, when near the Nab Light, hauling main sheet aft, the racking broke or slipped, and struck him and the deceased, and knocked them overboard. He was picked up by the men from the Nab Light ; did not think if the Reindeer yacht had been put abbot, she could have rendered them so much assistance as was rendered by the Nab Light men and the Antelope. The jury here expressed themselves anxious to ad, journ the inquest until they could have the evidence of the owner and Captain of the Reindeer, but which was dispensed with, the Coroner stating he did not know where to find them, and he had no power to force them to appear. Crawford, belonging to the Kestrel yacht, was on board the Antelope on the 17th instant, and helped to pick the deceased up. Did not see the men fall over board, but should judge from the distance the Reindeer was ahead, that the men were in the water half an hour. Should think it possible that the Reindeer, by using proper diligence, might have picked them up in much less time. Samuel Mogg was In the Reindeer at the time the men were thrown overboard, in the alter part of the ves sel, about two yards from them. In rounding the Nab Light, the gentleman on board called to the men at the Nab Light to get their boat out, which was done im mediately. Captain Popham, R.N., was on hoard, and said if the boat was lowered from the Reindeer there would be more lives lost than could be without doing so. Did not attempt to unlvish the boat, which was on deck, bottom upwards. Did not hear any or ders given to attempt to save the men, excepting to the light-vessel. They kept their course, and did not hear anybody say they should go round. Cannot say what would have been the consequence to the men in the light-boat if the Antelope had not picked them up. Wi❑d was blowing very hard at the time. Joseph Woolgar—Was on board the Antelope, on pleasure, on the 17th inst. Did not see the accident, but was in the boat that picked up the deceased. As soon as Lord Pow•erscourt knew of the accident, he said, " Never mind the cup, look after the men." De ceased was hooked by the waistband by a person on board the Antelope. Witncs.: jumped into the chains, and held on with one hand and caught the leg of the deceased with the other. Should think the men were in the water from twenty minutes to half an hour. They run down with loss of main theet. The time in getting the main-sail stowed, bearing up to the light boat, till they picked up Short, was less than half an hour. Was of opinion that the Reindeer could have gone to the leeward of the vessel and renderad assistance to the men in about ten minutes. Saw the Reindeer round the light. Didn't think there was any delay after she was round it. Henry Slight, Esq., surgeon, stated that he {tai called to the Fortitude on the 7th inst., to attend two men who had been drowned. He found the deceased's body a hut th e c h es t qu i te warm, a b out the natural. w nith of the b o dy ; wax o f op i n i on t h e d eceased was drowned, its ther e were no mar k s o f v i o l ence on the r stiff, body excepting a slight bruise on the shin. The CORONER said the Jury had heard tho whole of the evidence he had been able to procure. lie con sidered it was a perfect accideitt, and he thought if the Jury acted hostilely to the proprietor of the Reindeer by levying a dcodand upon that particular part of the v(.ssel, (viz. the racking), which caused the death, it might be injurious to the wife anal children. He could but consider it very prsiseworthy in the Antelope people in rendering the valuable services they did to the parties as well as to the Nab Light boat. The room being cleared of all strangers, the iury consulted together for upwards of an hour and a half, and returned a verdict of Accidental Death ; at the same time expressing their belief that the conduct of Mr. Moore, the owner, the captain, and all others on board the Reindeer, was highly reprehensible and de serving censure, no language being sufficiently strong to express their feelings against them for their inhuman conduct, as the evidence before them proved that had they used proper diligence, the deceased's life might have been saved. They conceived much praise was due to Lord Powerscourt and all on board the Antelope, for their praiseworthy exertion ; and that too much could not be said in favour of the men from the Nall Light, who risked their own lives in endeavouring to save those of others. They much regretted it, was not in their power to make them some compensation.... llanipshire Independent. LOItD NORMANBY'S VISIT TO IRELAWD.—..
