LATE STEAM-BOAT EXPLOSION. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) By Mr. James—There could be no mistake at all between the string connected with the pulley and the string which tied it down. The excessive pres sure would injure the boiler. By the Foreman—The sudden breaking of the string at a pressure on the boiler of 601bs. to the square inch would not be felt by a shock. The boilers would prevent any serious consequences. It would not seriously impede the progress of the boat, unless the pressure was immense. Mr. Williams stated, in reply to Mr. Le Breton, that he would reduce his investigation to writing in the course of the day, and endeavour to discover the day in which he journeyed by the boat. By Mr. M'lntyre—When he examined the valve he judged, from the way in which it was tied, that it could not move. By Mr. Le Breton—But one of the four valves was tied. Only observed, however, one of the valves. Llevvellyn Williams, of 16 Tavistock-street, Covent-garden, clerk in the Custom-house, stated that he was on board the Cricket about two months ago in company with his brother. On the voyage he pointed at a piece of yarn which was attached to the valve of the boiler. The rope was attached to the end of the lever of the valve. Did not touch it. Did not notice to what the rope was attached. Could not recollect the date, as he journeyed almost every day in one or ether of the boats of the company. Herman W'rede, of No. 5, King-street, Snow. hill, musical instrument-maker, said, on the Sunday before the explosio n h e journeyed with the boat, and he noticed a piece of thick string tied round the right hand side valve. Knowing that this was unusual he looked at the valve on the other side, and found that it was also tied down. He was coming from Londen-bridge at the time he made these observa tions. The rope was tied near the centre of the lever ; the other valve vas similarly tied. " You won't catch me," added the witness, " taking another ha'porth."—(Laughter.) Both ropes were straight and tight. By Mr. James—The boat was on her passage when he noticed the valves tied. By the Jury—The valves were tied to force the boat along beyond its power. Went on board at Dyers' Hall Pier about three o'clock in the afternoon. Henry Crace, 11, Adam-street, Adelphi, surveyor, stated that he was on board the Cricket at the time of the explosion. Observed whilst on board that there was no escape of steam. Was on board from four to five minutes before the explosion took place. The boat was lying alongside the pier, and was afloat.— (The witnesses who were in the room were here, at the request of Mr. Le Breton, desired to withdraw.) Observed nothing irregular except the non-escape of the steam. Was about twelve feet from the funnel on the larboard side. By Mr. James—Knew when a boat was lying to that there should be an escape of steam. The people were coming off the boat when he went down to it. Could not tell how long the boat laid alongside. Saw two men and the unfortunate call-boy leaning against the iron casing of the boiler. Henry Rowland, of Warwick-street, Earl-street, Kennington, fishmonger, deposed that he was on board the Cricket at the time of the explosion, that he was injured by a blow on the face, and that he had for some time been confined in the hospital. He sat down on the off-side, and immediately rose and went into the cabin, and having got a light for his pipe, he resumed his seat. In passing he did not notice the engineer or stoker. Whilst he was looking at the fruit of a costermonger near him he was struck in the face, and recollected nothing more until he recovered his consciousness at the hospital. Did not notice whether the steam was blowing off or not. Wm. Warren, of 12, Diana-place, New-road, engi neer, stated that he was employed as an engineer in the King's College workshop, and that he had fre quently been on board the Cricket. In the middle of April last he was a passenger by the boat from Hun gerford and back. At London-bridge he had his attention drawn, after the boat had been lying along side a few minutes, to the fact that no steam was blowing off. Looked in the steam-box, and noticed a fine piece of spunyarn tied to the end of the lever of the safety-valve ; it was tied as near the end of the fulcrum as it could be tied. Went immediately down into the engine-room ; saw a stoker, but no one else, and noticed that both the safety-valves were tied. The ropes were attached to the beam. Touched them, and found them tremendously tight very tight indeed. They operated in this way,—the safety valve was no safety-valve al all. Got out as soon as be could after calling the attention of the stoker to the nutter, who replied, " Oh ! that is nothing." Got to the end of the boat as soon as possible. Had been on the boat once since, about the end of the same month. There were then no strings to either valve ; the steam blowed off at London-bridge. Was on the boat the Wednesday before she blew up. Found both valves fastened down as before. Did not go down into the engine-room, but got off the boat as soon as he could. He attended at the request of Pre!, or Cc.vrpor_ The CORONER —lt was your duty to the public to come here. By Mr. M. Chambers—The strings were tied tight to the beam in front of the boiler. Had not spoken to any one connected with the boats about the explosion. Dia not think he should know the stoker if he saw him. He was very black, as stokers gene- Tally were. There were four valves, two of which -were safety—the others were spring valves, to be used in the event of the others going out of order. He supposed they were screwed down and could not be used. The best plan would be to have a safety-valve locked, the key of which should be kept by the com pany, so that, however much the other valves might be played with, one would act independently of anything the engineer might do. Never mentioned what he saw to any one. Certainly thought the tying of the - valves dangerous. Frequently a man did no good— rather injury—by giving information, and often lost his character. By Mr. James—Thought the engines would run faster if the valves were not tied. The steam should blow 6ff when a vessel was still. There was a force- pump connected with most engines, by using which a quantity of cold water might be injected and danger avoided. If the steam was not blowing off at the time of the explosion he should conclude that the valves were tied as he hal seen them. By Mr. M'lntyre—The steam when he noticed the valves tied did not escape by the screw valves. By the CORONER—The use of the valve wag to prevent explosions. If it were tied down, the boiler might as well be a blank. Did not think that the boiler burst from a deficiency of water, but from an inordinate pressure of steam. He was present when a 36 boiler—the largest in London—•at Meux's brewery, burst, and judged from that and his know ledge that there was plenty of water in the boiler. By a gentleman—Did not think a boiler could be constructed without valves. Great pressure of steam would burst a boiler 12 inches thick if there were no valves. Mr. John D. Smith, of Bedford-square, distiller, stated that he was part proprietor of the boat with Alderman Thompson, Alr. Wm. C orry, of Verulam buildings, Gray's Inn-lane, and Mr. Foreman, iron merchant, who possessed iron furnaces at London-bridge. Was a proprietor from the commencement of the company in October, 1845. 31r. Joyce built the Cricket and her boilers and ma _ ehinery. He thought this was an important matter for the jury to know. Had been constantly on board is order to keep the parties employed at their duty Ly his presence. He frequently went to the City by the boat. He was known perfectly well to the crew. Never heard of anything irregular until the quarrel took place between the engineer and Clarke. "ent frequently into the engine-room, but sever noticed that the valves were tied. Perhaps he did not look for such a thing, because he did not an ticipate it. He had lost one of his eyes during the last year, and perhaps could not see so well as other people; but he thought he should have noticed it if it had been done. It was reported to him that Clarke had tied the valve on one par ticular occasion. He did not recollect by whom it was said, and he spoke to tke engineer, Clarke, re specting the c h arge, b ut h e denied doing so. 'The engineers appointed and discharged their stokers. Clarke said he never should be guilty of such a thing. The man who made the complaint was not well thought of by the other men in the employ of the company, and therefore it was not so much heeded as if it had been made by some one else. He had a high opinion of Clarke, because he was re commended by Mr. Joyce and Mr. Meecham. He agreed with Mr. Joyce that the company should employ only men having a practical knowledge, as working men, with engines. Clarke put up an engine for him at his distillery—it was an engine of the same kind as the Cricket, except that it was not an oscil lating one. The fact of Clarke having been employed by Mr. Joyce as his foreman, and being the best man in his shop, he had great confidence in him. The com pany took great pains to get good men, and in order to get them they paid 15d. to 20/. per cent. more than any other company on the river. Clarke, as foreman of the engineers, was paid 3/. a week, the other elrivers 2/. lOs. 6d. and the stokers 1/. 9s. He trusted all engineering matters to Mr. Joyce, who ',was a man of considerable skill. His contract with Mr. Joyce was that the boilers should be of the strongest kind, to bear 351bs. to 501bs. to the square inch. They were sent to Mr. Joyce to be examined on the 7th, and he believed the 10th of Almost. There were two screw valves, behind which no one touched, and the whole of the tubes and the water way were available for both boilers, as they were connected. A juryman--Are the strings used now ? Mr. Smith (with aurprise)—No ; if a man were to sue them I should instantly discharge him. • The juryman—Well, then, sir, I declare to you that I went by one of the boats, and I lifted up the flap and found one of the levers tied down.-- (Great sensation.) Mr. Smith—Have you made a communication to the company ? The juryman—No. Mr. Smith said, strings were attached to the levers of the safety-valves, and which dropped down into the engine-room opposite the fire, not for the purpose of keeping the valves closed, but to promote the discharge of the steam by the other valves. By Mr. M. Chambers—His distinct communica tion to Mr. Joyce was to make him a strong work ing engine, and not to expend too much money upon the bright work ; but for his own character's sake, he did expend much labour upon the engines, in order to make them look well and work well. He was satisfied with them in every way. It was quite compatible with halfpenny fares to use boats and engines of the best construction. (The contract was here handed in and read. The boat was made like the Ant and Bee, to run as fast, to have a stronger boiler, and to cost 2,5500 Had heard since the oc- P curreece that on one occasion Mr. Polleti's brother, an engineer to one of the boats, got into the wheel of one of the boats to examine it, desiring Edwards, the stoker, to give the wheel half a turn. He turned it twice, but no injury ensued. Edwards said he thought he had done for the b—. He men tioned this merely to show the kind of man Edwards was. He (witness) obtained a patent for the appli catipn of Wolfe's principle to oscillating engines. The contract originally was for one boiler, but he thought Mr. Joyce suggested it would be safer to have two, and offered to construct the other at his own expense, which was done. . _ the Court, Newcastle-upon-Tyne —R.

INDIGo.—The quarterly sale is fixed for the 12th October, and the quantity that will be ffered is ex pected to he large, amounting to 16,000 chests ; at present 14,292 chests are declared. East India of all de scription,. met with little attention from exporters or the home trade, although there are sellers rather under the July sale ; prices are not expected to be much larger, as the stock is smaller than it was in the past season; the deliveries are larger, the importation smaller, and prices lower. Spanish is little required, and the limited business done privately was at barely former rates ; at auction 120 serons Guatemala sold at 2s 6d to 3a 4d for mid to good. Orns —The arrivals of Fish Oils have increased since our last report, and the demand not having been so good, there is less firmess on the part of holders. Seal is offered upon rather lower terms, but without meeting with much attention, and for pale 271. 10s. to 281. have been accepted ; at auction 40 tuna were sold. Cod has been operated in with caution at 27/. ss. to 27/3. 10s. and holders are inclined to sell, although a small stock, but it will be much larger ere long. • Southern met with little attention, and low to middling quality can be ob tained at 241 10s to 251, good to fine 25/ lOs to 261105, and there is a fair quantity on offer. Sperm, however, has been in good request, but prices do not improve, although the supply is less plentiful; none has been offered at auction, but 100 tuna Southern and 40 tuns Sperm aro declared for Friday. Although further re duced rates have been accepted for Linseed Oil, still exporters have only taken trifling parcels, whilst the home demand has been limited. The purchases made for forward delivery have been of little moment, al- I though at 26s to 26s 6d there are sellers; prices are, however, not expected to be much lower on account of the large consumption. In Rape Seed Oil sales to a fair extent have been made. Palm met with greater atten tion, but prices cannot be quoted higher; and privately many parcels have been sold, 33s to 36s paid for fair to fine quality; but the stock is on the increase. Cocoa Nut is much wanted, and, owing to the small supply, buyers have been compelled to pay further advanced rates ; at auction 25 hhds Ceylon sold at 58s to 60s 9d, and 40 puns repacked Cochin at 50s 6d to 51s 3d. In Olive large purchases have been made, whilst on the part of holders there is firmness. Lard Oil is little wanted, and can be obtained at 43s to 48s per cwt. African Ground Nut Oil is dull of sale at 38s to 395. Teneow.—The trade continue to purchase Russian with caution on the spot, and to take only sufficient for their present wants; prices keep on the decline. There are sellers of fine P.Y.C. at 46s to 46s 6d, and old at 45s 3d to 45s 6d, whilst an impression exists that prices have not yet arrived at their lowest point on account of the immense quantity there is to come in. For delivery in the last three months of the year the business concluded has been small, although 45s 9d to 463 have been taken for fine new P. Y. Candle. Home made has been operated in with caution at 46s ad to 47s nett cash. Ot other sorts the supply continues to be good, and the trade operating with caution prices continue to give way. At auction 787 boxes of Soiith American fetched 47s to By Mr. M'lntyre—The superintendents awl others employed in the boats stated to him, when he made the investigation, that Clarke was in the habit of tying the valves, but he made an investigation which satisfied him that Clarke was not in the habit of tying them. But was it not surprising that all those who had come forward and stated that they had seen the valves tied, and had left the boat in dismay, had not written to him on the subject? Tie had never received a letter on the matter, notwithstanding the danger. They must have known the great danger to the passengers. By a juryman—Did not know whether the Cricket went as far as Southwark-bridge and was obliged to return from some cause, because he was in Scotland at the time. A minute book of all the occurrences was kept. Did not know that the Cricket was more out of order than the other boats. The engines some times got a little out of order, but not, as far as he knew, the boilers. He did not examine the valves after the complaints, because he had every confidence in Clarke. J. J. Buttress, of No. 3, Thames-street, Green wich, a fitter in the employ of Mr. Joyce, deposed that he had driven the Cricket, and other boats, for Mr. Joyce. He drove her the first time on the 28th of March, after Kent had left, and before Clarke left. Drove her on Good Friday; and after Clarke was appointed he went two or three passages with him. Was afterwards appointed to the Bee. About the last week in April he drove the Cricket for about an hour, during the absence of Clarke ; but during the whole time he did not discover that the safety-valves at the extremity of the lever were fastened down tight with spunyarn , which was wound several times round. He cut them immediately he discovered them. On one occasion he saw two pieces of string hanging, but on the second they were gone. Mr. Meecham also saw the valves tied, and ordered them to be cut. The effect of tying the valves increased the speed. He left the boats about half an hour after. When he told Clarke he denied it, but Edward corroborated his statement. He mentioned it t 47s 9d for fine quality ; 150 hhds of North Am e rican Butcher s ' me lt e d 45s 6d to 46s p( r cwt. The stoek ot Tallow exceeds that of last year, but prices are much above that time. LATEST PRICES OF SHARES. N BANKS, ASSURANCE. AND OTHER COI! PANIES' STOCK. From t'te Gfiki.ll List. Clarke, because he heard nothing from Mr. Joyc as he expected, respecting it. Clarke replied " Ned I Rill not have you on board ; you know what I mean ;" and Edwards was discharged by the secre tary, Mr. Nash, on the subsequent Saturday. Os the 3d of August he was employed on board, and he saw the ropes hanging, but untied, at which the present stoker of the boat smiled. PUBLISHED EVERY TI7I3M)AY AND FRIDAY F,VENL'iIi LONDON. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14. JOINT-STOCK MINKS. By Mr. M. Chamber Believed she went to Greenwich in that state. She had made four pas sages on the day the valves were tied. It was his duty before beginning to work an engine to see that the safety-valves were free. He omitted to do so, but there was a steam gauge, and if the index had gone up from 4.5 to 80, h e should know that there was something the matter with the valves. The index satisfied him that the pressure was not too great. Did not know whether the steam blowed off that morning or not. There was nothing to lead him to believe that there was anything wrong until he found the valves tied. Could not say whether Mr. Meecham saw the strings or not. Left the company about the middle of August. Went back to Mr. Joyce's, where he is now employed. Re ceived a good character from Mr. Smith, stating that if there was a vacancy he STloula iv, quarrelled with Clarke, but he believed he was envious of him. Name of Company.

SUGAIL—To day there was not much desire evinced to operate in Raw Sugar for home consumption or ex portation, but on the part of holders and importers firmness was generally manifested, although the market was well supplied. There was only a moderate demand for all sorts 01 West India Muscovado for the scale or pan, still the rates obtained were on a par with those of Friday for all qualities. At auction 121 hhds 7 tierces Barbadoes were all sold at market rates. REFINED —To day refired goods were operated in with caution by the home trade, and the rates taken were 54s fur brown grocery. and 54s 6d to 55s for standard lumps. There are many parcels on offer of all sorts. Bonded crushed Sugar is little required, and first sorts can be obtained at 31s to 218 6d per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon at public sale 1,276 bags of Bengal Sugar were chiefly disposed of, but diffi culty was experienced in obtaining former r a t es —fi ne white Benares went 48s 6d, good middling and good 45s 6d to 47 6d, middling 44s 6d to 453, low 43s 6d to 445, damp and washed 43s to 46s 6d, but middling soft yellow was taken in at 38s to 38s 6d.

Yesterday the Lump MAvoa sent for Mr. Carson, who some days ago wrote a letter to his Lordship on the subject oi . tile desecration of the dead in the church yard of St. Ethelburga, a copy of which letter ap peared in the newspapers under the head of " Man sion-house." His Lordship's correspondent having appeared at the justice-room, the following communi cation from the incumbent of St. Ethelburga was read : "Desecrati3n of the Dead. " Vestry st. Ethelburga. "My Lord, —I beg leave to contradict a state ment relative to the burial-ground of the parish of St. Ethelburga which appeared in the police reports of Thursday last. So far from the spot having been often the recipient of human remains, I cAn confi dently affirm that during the four years of my incum bency no corpse has been buried, and I am informed by the sexton that the soil has not been disturbed for 40 years or more. The skulls mentioned by your correspondent did not meet my eye, although I stood by when the entire mound of excavated earth was returned to its former position, and with the exception of a few trifling fragments, there were scarce any human bones mingled therewith. The fragments of coffins and offensive effluvium had no existence what ever except in the imagination of your Lordship's correspondent. " I beg leave to add, that while I strongly advocate the discontinuance of intermural interments I also deprecate groundless charges of shameful desecration. " I have the honour to be your Lordship's obedient, humble servant, " J. M. RODWELL, Rector of St. Ethelburga." Mr. CARSON expressed surprise at the written con tradiction of the Rev. Gentleman, to a statement every word of which was accurately true. It would indeed be extraordinary if, residing as he did in the immediate vicinity of the church, and having wit nessed the exhibition he had described, and requested his Lordship would give the sanction of his authority to the complete publicity of the letter, he had made so erroneous a representation as had been ascribed to him. It so happened that his brother-in-law wit. nessed the disgusting scene which he had described, and would readily come forward to confirm that description. For his own part, he was desirous, if his Lordship had no objection, to make affidavit of the truth of every word in the letter. Here Mr. Carson repeated his statement in the lan guage of the letter, and expressed a hope that the neighbourhood would be shortly visited by the able Commissioners appointed to make regulations for the sanitary improvements of the people. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday John Press, a drayman in the service of Messrs. Truman and anbury, the brewers, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged with having stolen a kilderkin of ale, the property of his employers, and Mr. Richard Pratt, a licensed victu aller in Cheshire-street, Bethnal-green, was charged with having feloniously received the same, well knowing it had been stolen, and also with having in his possession two other casks, of which he was unable to give a satisfactory account. Mr. Marr, storehouse clerk to the prosecutors, stated that the firm he represented viewed the offence in a very serious light, as they had reason to believe that they had been robbed in this manner to some extent, and had instructed him to follow up the case, the facts of which were that the prisoner Press, who had been a long time in 'their service, Was - sent out on Saturday afternoon to deliver a quantity of ale and beer at the houses of different customers, but amongst whom was not the prisoner Pratt, who, though he dealt with their house, had not ordered anything considerable for some time. Press was ac companied by another drayman, named Shepherd, and the latter, suspecting from the way in which the ale had been delivered at Pratt's premises that it had been stolen, disclosed the transaction to witness, who referred to the books and found no such order had been given, and it then turned out that the prisoner Press had stolen it from a part of the warehouses in which there were many thousand barrels deposited, ~.nd done it in so open a manner that no suspicion arose. On discovering these facts the partners in the firm were apprised of them, and they gave immediate directions for the apprehension of both prisoners. The drayman, Shepherd, who had unconsciously assisted at the delivery of the stolen ale at Pratt's house, deposed, that upon so doing that person was present, and that upon the other prisoner going up to , him and saying, "I have brought you a kilderkin," Pratt made no inquiries about it. " 6 31 ' 11 0Y re plied, "Very well,' and s ave him directions where to lace oergeant Price, of the H division, stated, that upon accompanying Mr. Marr and another gentleman to Pratt's house they found the kilderkin in question placed in a passage leading to the cellars, and that upon descending into the latter two other casks were also pointed out by Mr. Marr, one of which was empty and the other upon tap. Pratt was asked how long he had been in possession of these last °asks P and replied that he was not quite certain, though he believed about three months, but upon some of the ale being poured into a glass and tasted by the two gentlemen, both decisively told him that that was im possible, for that he could not have had it more than a week, and demanded permission to take the casks away ; upon which Pratt said that he could not tell how they came there, and he would allow them to do so. The butts were therefore removed, and the pri soners, on reaching the brewhouse, given in charge. In answer to the case, the drayman, Press, said, " I have been a very long time in Messrs. Hanbury's service, and never had a word against me before," and the prisoner Pratt exclaimed in a hurried manner, " Mind, the kilderkin was left there by mistake ; that's what I contend for." Mr. Marr requested, on behalf of Messrs. Han bury, that the prisoners might be remanded, as the firm had only been apprised of the circumstances that morning, and had not had time to produce further evidence, but at the next examination he should be fully prepared to conclusively establish the charge against both prisoners. Each of the accused asked to be admitted to bail, saying that they could obtain it to any amount, and the Magistrate after some consideration acceded to the request, by ordering Press to enter into his own re cognisance in 1001., and find two sureties in 501. each, and Pratt to enter into his recognisance in 3001., and find tw ) sureties in 1501. each, and both to give 24 hours' notice to inquire into their solvency. LAMBETH. Yesterday Mr. Charles, alias Cromwell Hicks, a middle-aged man of gentlemanly appearance and ad dress, was placed at the bar for further examination before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of passing three cheques, for various amounts, which were found to be fictitious. Mr. Thomas Pratt, army agent, of 34, King-street, Westminster, deposed, that he did not hold any funds belonging to the prisoner, nor had he authorised the prisoner to draw the cheque produced. Mr. Simpson, a baker in the Wandsworth-road, deposed that on the Bth inst. he advanced 31. 104. to the prisoner on a cheque for 71. 10s. drawn by the prisoner on his father, Colonel Hicks, and made pay able at the office of Mr. Pratt, the last witness, and on sending it there it was marked " No effects." Mr. Selswood, a grocer, 6, Belgrave-place, Wands worth-road, stated, that on the 28th of last month the prisoner called at his shop and requested him to cash a cheque for 21. 25., drawn by him on Colonel Carruthers, of the 2d Foot, and which he said was all he had received from the colonel out of 151. which he owed him. He (witness) gave him the money for the cheque, and passed the latter in a day or two after to Mr. Underwood, a grocer, in James-street, Covent-garden. James Eccles, shopman to Mr. Underwood, deposed that he presented the cheque for 21. 2s. he then pro duced at the office of Messrs. Cox and Greenwood, and was told that no advices had been received to pay it, and as that was the second time of presentation it was strongly suspected to be a forgery. Mr. Thomas Flower, a stockbroker, residing in the Wandsworth-road, stated that on the 3d instant he saw the prisoner, of whom he had some knowledge from his having held a situation in the City. He on that occasion produced a cheque which he had drawn on Major Daniells, of the Coldstream Guards, for 151. 158., and asked if he knew any person who would advance him 6/. 10s. on it, as he wanted that amount very badly to pay his bookseller. Wit ness told him he had no objection to lend him the money as it was so advantageous to him, and gave him the 6/. 103. Some days after the cheque was presented at Messrs. Cox and Greenwood's, where it was pay able, but it was not paid. The prisoner, when asked what he had to say to these various charges, replied that, notwithstanding all that had been stated, every one of the three cheques produced would be regularly paid. That drawn upon his father Colonel Hicks would have been paid before now but for the serious in disposition of the colonel. His intimate friend and chum,' Colonel - Carruthers, of: the 2d Foot, he was certain would honour the trifling . cheque on him, and as for his college friend,:biajor Daniells, there could not be a shadow of doubt about his paying the 15 guineas. He (the prisoner) had been in his father's regiment, and had always been upon terms of the utmost friendship with Major-General Daniel's, and his son Major Daniells. Mr. ELLIOTT--Then from your statement am I to suppose that Major Daniells would give you a good character. Prisoner—Most certainly. ' Mr. ELLIOTT--Then I shall read you an extract from a letter received from Major Daniells in refer ence to your cheque, in which he speaks of your cha racter as follows: " I know but two persons of the name of I-licks ; one, Cromwell Hicks, who, after having lived upon me for twelve months, was placed by my influence in a situation in the City, from which he bolted, leaving a debt of 500/. unsettled, and from that period has 51. per cent. 61. per cent. 51. per cent.

W. ACCIDENT TO JOIIN DIXON, Est., M.P.—We are sorry to state that a rather severe accident befel John Dixon, Esq., M.P. for this city, on Saturday last. In the forenoon of that day, between eleven and twelve o'clock, while riding in his park. a servant brought him a letter. Having read it, he took off his hat with the intention of depositing the letter in it. This movement frightened the horse, which galloped off, and Mr. Dixon fell to the ground with considerable violence. He was a good deal bruised on his side by the fall, and when re moved to his house was very faint. He is now, however, we are happy to say, going on favourably.---Carlisle Patriot. The four Irish Representative Peers for the session 1847-8 are the Archbishop of Armagh and Tuam, the Bishop of Killaloe and Clonfert, the Bishop of Kilter:ire, Azdegh, and Elphin, sad the Bishop of Clogher. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Pric, three weeks she has been dreadfully short of provi sions—so short, indeed, that they had remained at sea a few days longer, and without falling in with any sup plies, the result would have been serious. The Frolic, 16, was undocked to-day, to make room for the Seaflower cutter, Commander Henry DumareFq, and the Kite steamer, Master-Com manding George Filmer, which were immediately (locked in her room. The Trincomalee, 28, Captain R. L. Warren, hauled off from her hulk yesterday to complete painting. To•day she has been swung to adjust her cum passel:. The Belvidera, provision depot, Master-Command ing- H. Wellington, will be put out of commission this evening. Her marines were landed this after noon. The convict ship Marion arrived to-day from Lonion, and passed through Cowes to embark pri ,oners from Parkhurst Prison for exile to the colonies. The Mercury tender sailed last evening for Chat ham with supernumeraries. A Portuguese steamer, with man-of-war's colours, passed through Spithead last evening at sunset from the westward, but did not communicate. Commander Edward Crouch (1843) died yesterday at Titchfield, near this port, aged thirty-one. Com mander Crouch came home in the Prometheus lately, from his comm and of the Devastation on the western coast of Africa, on account of ill-health, the climate having been too unhealthy for him. He was a gallant and excellent officer, deeply respected. He was a mate of the Wellesley, 72, on the coast of China, at the taking of Amoy and Chinghae, in 1841 ; lieu tenant of the Blonde, at the taking of Wootung and Shanghae, and severely wounded at the capture of the city of Ching-Kiang Foo, in 1842. Woomvicir, SEPT. 14.—The Hecate steam sloop was commissioned this morning at Woolwich, by Commander Richard Moorman, who paid off the Rat , tier steam vessel yesterday. The officers and crew of the Rosamond steam sloop, Commander Foote, are in the enjoyment of good health, according to recent accounts from her station at the Cape of Good Hope, the ventilators fitted by Mr. Haig keeping. the air in the vessel quite pure. Mr. Haig has just. fitted the magazines of the Asia, 84 guns, commissi.ifoned at Sheerness, with ventilators, as to prevent the danger the air has to be forced through fine wire sieves. The Prince Regent, for merly 120, and no.vv converted into a 90-gun ship, is to be fitted with similar copper pipes and ventilators to purify her ma;;azine. The experiments already made show that Mr. Haig's plan works well in dis charging the carbonic acid gas generated in maga zines of vessels, :;c injurious to the health of the men, and it also affor d,s an ample supply of pure air to enable them to I work in the magazine with perfect safety. TOM THUMB'S FORTUN v. —Tom Thumb's secretary has furnished one spf th e S yracuse papers with a state ment of his recei[ Cs in Europe, which are said to be as !bile as:—" His rc ooipts in Europe were 150,0001. ster ling, or 750,000 stlcll Jars, reckoning 56 sovereigns to the pound avoirdupois„ 3,678 pounds of gold, one hundred and seventy - eight 'times his o wn we i g ht. I n s il ver th e weight would be •46,375 pounds. Calculating that an ordinary horse w, sttild draw 850 pounds, it would require 55 horses to draw the precious load. As the General onl y wei g h s 15 I sounds, the silver would make 3,125 statues of his own - weight. Calculating that each dollar measures 14 inch„ it would reach in a straight line about twenty-five mile 5; and supposing each dollar is one eighth of an inch is • thickness, piled one upon the other, it would reach o' re, c a mile and a half in height.--New Yo• k Express. FATAL ACC.I.OI Cr.—Yesterday morning, about six o'clock, Mr. Ectwars 1 Knight, an extensive barge owner, whil+t walking ai ig the gunwale of a barge lying in Shadwell dock, slip; ed overboard and sunk. Drags were procured, and evetz, eff.mt used, but tne body was not recovered. Th e decal ased, it is supposed, must have been seized with a fit of al mplexy. THE COAST OF .AFRICA SQUADRON. Pottsr:storni, l'uEsna.v.—The Sealark, 8, Com mander White, arrived this morning from the west coast uf Africa, whereon she has been employed dur ing the last three years and nine months in the slave trade suppression duty. She has come from Kabenda direct to Spithead. On the passage home she took a slaver, a Brazilian brigantine, c a lled th e Leb ro , w i t h 189 slaves on board. She sent the vessel to Sierra Leone fer adjudication, but brought 16 of her crew to Spithead. She has made five captures during the last 12 months. The Sealark has been generally healthy, having only lost 11 men by sickness. Out of 17 officers and warrant-officers who left England in the vessel, only four (he first lieutenant, now the commander; the paymaster and the purser, Mr. Shambler ; the clerk, Mr. Freshfield ; and the master's assistant, Mr. Wayth) have returned in her. Mr. J. G. Starr, purser of the Rapid, and Mr. Read, sur geon of the Actxon, have come home passengers in her invalided. The squadron was thus distributed when the Sealark left Kabenda : In Harbour at Ascension—The Tortoise, 12, guard ship, Captain Frederick Hutton, and the Pilot, 16, Commander George K. Wilson. In the Bights of Benin—The Bittern, 16, Com mander Thomas Hope ; the Albatross, 16, Com mander W. Farquhar; the Hound, 10, Commander Granville Wood; the Kingfisher, 12, Commander W. Horton; the Waterwitch, 10, Commander T. Birch; the Contest, 12, Commander A. Macmurdo ; the Devastation steamer, Commander R. T. Levinge; and the Grappler steamer, Lieutenant T. H. Lysaght. At Kabenda—The Wanderer, 16, Commander E. ..,Ifontressor ; the Philomel, 10, Commander W. Wood; and the Penelope steam-frigate, with the flag of Commodore Sir Charles Hotham, the Commander-in- Chief. At Benguela—The Actaeon, 26, Captain G. Maun sel ; the Flyingfish, 12, Commander P. H. Dyke ; the Ferret, 10, Commander George Sprigg ; the Heroine, 10, Commander Charles Edmunds; the Ranger, 10, Commander J. Anderson ; the Rapid, 10, Commander E. Dixon; the Sealark, 10, Lieutenant R. D. White ; and the Styx steamer, Commander H. Chads. At Cape Mount—The Siren, 16, Commander Thos. Chaloner ; and the Favourite, 18, Commander Alex ander Murray. At Sierra Leone and the Gambia—The Mariner, 16, Commander C. Matthison; and the Rolla, 10, Commander 11. M. Ellicombe. The Mariner, 16, arrived from England on the 21st of May, remained here till the 23d of June, when she sailed for Sierra Leone, taking invalids for a passage to England by the Prometheus, ordered home from this station. The Wanderer, 16, arrived from Sierra Leone on the 21st of June, again sickly. She sent 22 men to the hospital, one of whom (Carter) has since died, and sailed on the 24th of June for Kabenda, with stores and provisions for the squadron on that division of the station. The Penelope steam-frigate, with the Commodore, sailed on the 28th of June fur the same place. She is to cruise there for a short time, and afterwards proceed to St. Helena. The Kingfisher, 12, arrived from Sierra Leone on the 2d of June, and having refitted, sailed on the 9th for her station i 3 the Bights, taking stores and provisions for the ships there. On leaving she had from 20 to 30 on her sick-list from slight fever. The .Agincourt,.72, with the flag of Rear-Admiral Cochrane, put in here on the 3d of June from China, and sailed on the 4th for England. The Philomel, 10, arrived from England on the 10th of July, and sailed on the 12th to fall in with the Commodore at Kabenda. On coming out she touched at San Nicolas and Sierra Leone. The Emily freight ship. Harvey master, arrived from Deptford on the 26th of July, having had a long and tedious voyage of ninety-nine days. She brought Captain Dixon to join the Rapid. The Pilot, 16, arrived on the 7th at ascension from the East Indies, having touched at St. Helena, whence she brings prizes, officers, and crews belonging to the Hound and Devastation. The slave trade continues to be carried on briskly on the coast, particularly on the Kabenda and Benguela divisions, where we are every arrival hearing of captures having been made by our cruisers. The Rapid, Devastation, and Hound have each taken a prize within the last month, empty however ; but the Waterwitch captured a very fine vessel, with 417 slaves on board, the month previous. Of all, the most fortunate has been the Kingfisher, who has seldom had an empty prize. Off Ambrize she lately captured a fine barque of 300 or 400 tons, completely fitted for the abominable traffic, but which being leaky, she destroyed. In blowing her up the gunner's mate, a most valuable man, lost " mile. Shortly before this the Kingfisher s s t aured a small schooner, of not more th.. co tons, with 300 young slaves on board; and, immediately after this, a g....n0r vessel of 40 tons, with 200 slaves on board, which she was obliged also to destroy on account of the perfectly unseaworthy state she was in. The slaves she brought on here in May, and after wards sailed with them for Sierra Leone. She has now her station in the Bights. The Siren was for tunate enough to take a fine brig of upwards of 200 tons off Cape Mount in May last ; she was empty, but completely fitted up for carrying slaves. Captures on that division are now comparatively rare, but to the southward of the Line the slave trade is carried on more extensively, and under circumstances of greater atrocity than ever were known before. Our own little island is, as usual, healthy. The Philomel, 10, Commander W. C. Wood, was cruising, and the Growler steam-vessel, Commander Potbury, was embarking free negro emigrants. The Sealark reports the squadron healthy, but the slave trade decidedly on the increase. A great number of cargoes were successfully delivered last summer. The Sealark's officers and crew have not received any letters, or other news from England for nine months. She has brought letters from the following vessels only :—The Penelope, Actaeon, He roine, Rapid, and Waterwitch, and dispatches from the Commodore for the Admiralty. For the last been existing by swindling tradesmen, by giving cheques drf ,,, :n without any nuthor;tv noon differen t otlicers withwho-e name:, be Ls cenversait.'

I know him to be an unprincipled scoundrel, and I should strongly advise the person to whom he has given the cheques you have mentioned to plane him in the hands of the proper authorities." The prisoner said not a word in reply, and. was again remanded, the whole of the necessary witnesses not being in attendance. tvEsTMINsTER. Yesterday Daniel Salbvan, en Irish labourer, was charged with the fallowing desPerate absaul ts t w o the p.liee. At about eight on the previous evening JesePh Herons, 119 B, found defendant and anoth er man, both of whom were drunk, fighting in Queen -street, Pimlico, and caught hold of defendant at the vex?: moment that he was about to kick his antann is `? who was lying on the ground, in the most brutali the constable suffered them to depart, manner.
