LON DON, MONDAY EVENING, OC i OBER 5, THE LOSS OF THE CENTRAL A M ERICA LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY. The following items respecting the loss of the steamship Central America are extracted from the details of the.ceastrophe published in the papers brought by the Europa : "Of the 28 children who were saved the greater part were babies. The stewardess of the steamer was a stout negro woman. She had collected the money thrown away by the passengers, it was supposed, and buckled it round the body. The weight of this money was the cause of her death when she was hoisted into the Marne, where she died frern having too much gold about her loins. One of the ladies placed her canary bird in her bosom on leaving the steamer and preserved its life. " Mr. George, who went down with the vessel, says : —He heard to shriek, nothing but the seething rush and hiss of waters that closed above her as she hurried, almost with the speed of an arrow, to her ocean bed. Night had closed in before the vessel sank, and he was sucked in, by the whirlpool caused by her swift descent, to a depth, that in its seeming was unfathomable, and into n darkness that he bad never dreamt of. Compared with it the blackest night, without moon or star, was as the broad noonday. He was rather stunned than stiffed and his sensations on coming to the surface were almost as painful, from their reaction, as those which he en dured at the greatest depth to which he sank. When he became conscious, after the lapse of a minute or two, he could distinguish every object around him-for a consider able distance. The waves, as they rose and- fell, revealed a crowd of human- heads. Those unfortunates who had lost their lift-preservers or planks while under water, owing to the force of the whirlpool, were frantically snatching at the broken pieces of, the wreck, which, brsaking from the ship as she continued to descend, leapt above the surface and fell back with a heavy splash. The cries arose thus mingled into one inarticulate wail, and then the lustier and less terrified shouted for assistance to the bark Marine, which was far beyond bailing distance. The waves dashed them one against another at first, but speedily they began to separate, and the last farewells were taken. One man called to another in our informant's hearing, 'lf you are saved, Frank, send my love to my dear wife;' but the friend appealed to Was answered only with a gurgle of the throat. He washed off the plank, and perished as his companion spoke. Many were desirous of separating themselves as far as possible from the rest, wing fearful lest some desperate struggler might seize hold of them and draw them under. Others, afraid of their loneliness, called to their neighbours to keep to nether. Generally, they strove to cheer each other as long as they remained within hearing, end when the roar of the waves drowned all but the loudest shouting the call of friendship or the cry of despair was heard in the distance, and infused confidence or increased dismay in many a failing bosom. " It was when he bad drifted far from the companion ship any of his fellows in miefoi tune that Mr. George began to realise his situation. The night was very dark. Cecasienally, as the driving clouds parted and ga►e a I.;i1/113et of sky, a star or two would be visible, but this was very seldom, and offered but the faintest gleam of imps that the morning would dawn fair and calm. The swell of the sea was great, and successively the poor otters, holding on to their planks with the energy of despair, were riding on the brink of a precipice and earied in a deep valley of water. Our informant, like teeny of the rest, was seized with the fear of sharks. Lespiretien was very difficult, owing to the masses of sra'er which were constantly dashed upon them, as wave after wave rolled by. For two or three hours the eater was not unpleasantly cold, and it was not until shout 1 o'clock on the morning of Sunday, when they bad been nearly five hours in the water, and a fresh chilling wind arose, that their limbs began to feel be num bed. "Some of the incidents described to U 3 as occurring before or about that time are truly thrilling. One roan, Pirating in sAirude, and terrified at his loneliness, after shouting himself hoarse to find a companion, saw at length a man with tao life-preservers fa , tened about his body drifting towards him. His heart leaped with joy at the welcome sight, for the feeling of desolation which had overcome him was terrible to endure. He called'te the otter t 9 join him if possible, tsnd made every exertion to meet him half way. There was no reply, but the other drifted nearer and nearer. A wave threw them to gether.; they touched, The living man shrieked in the face of a corpse. The other bad been drowned by the dash of the billows, or had perished from exhaustion. " When rising and falling with the swell of the waves the lights of the bark Ellen were first discerned by the survivors in the water ; the thrill of hope that at once filled every breast amounted, it may well be believed, to a perfect ecstasy. Let Mr. George speak for all. He Faye I never felt so thankful in all my life. I never knew what gratitude was before. Ido not know whe ther I cried or not, but I know I was astonished to hear my own laughter ringing in my ears. Ido not know why I laughed. That verse, God moves in a mysteri ous way,' kept passing in and out of me—through me, rattier, as if I had been the pipe of an organ. It did not come to we by my own volition, but somehow made me remember it. When the lights approached nearer a score of voic€ s sprang up around me, crying Ship ahoy,' 'Boat ahoy,' and then I began to shout too. And I bad never any doubt that I should be saved till I saw the lights pass by. about half a mile from where I was, and recede in the distance. Then I bega.o to give myself up for lost indeed. But I slowly drifted toward her again ' 'ill I could make out her hull a n d one o f h er masts , an d presently I floated close to her and shouted, and was taken up. When I got on the deck I could not stand. I did not know till then how exhausted I was.' George, before he was rescued encountered six men clogipg to a I,g of wood, two of whom were washed off in his sight, within a short distance of the bark. The others must bare afterwards shared the same fate, as they were not taken on board the bark and were never again seen. Mr. George thinks a raft could have lived, but no attempt was made to construct one. "A little girl who was savel along with her brother rays :-- "At about 10 o'clock on Saturday a gentleman came down and took us up into the saloon ; my father was with us ; he handed me his money and told me to keep it—prliaps I might be saved and he not. This was before we came in sight of the brig. Alter we got in -fight of the vessel I handed it back to him ; I told him that it was too heavy. Then they called us up to the iifehoat.. I came on in the second beat to the brig. I think the terror will never l eave my heart. I felt as though I had almost as lief go down with the ship as to get off. I have not heard, from father since I left him on Saturday • I think h e i s l ost. ' " When the boat cast off from the steamer Captain Herndon said, Tell the captain of the brig for God's sake to remain by us ; that I have 500 people'on board sod two millions of treasure.' When we arrived in the brig Mr. Black communicated this request to Captain Burt, who replied at once Ay, ay ; tell him I'll stand by him.' It is alleged that the boats' crews declined to return to the wreck, for fear of being swamped. " A passenger says,—` Life-preservers were plenty, and. each had secured one for himself. On coming up I found plenty of things to cling t', at d got bold of a door, which I held on to about 15 minutes, till three Irishmen grabbed it, when I left it, as I was becoming so numb that I was obliged to warm up by a little s wimming exerciss. Though a large quantity of ma terial was fl-ating about, still there was a good deal of desperate struggling and lighting to appropriate articles promising the most security. I next got hold of a trunk, but it soon fell to pieces. But a flour buret directly came in my way ; in clinging to it I soon got chilled and had occasionally to leave it and swim to get warm. Bu t I did not let it get far out of my way. I observed th Irishmen still fighting for the door the last I saw o a f them, and they are doubtless lost. . - " Another passengers says : —'Nearly all the passen gers had been provided with life-preservers, but many of them had lost all hope and become discouraged before the critical moment arrived, and when the ship sunk they lacked the energy to make any effort to save themselves, while others were affrighted out of all presence of mind and lacked the judgment to convert to their use means which might have been rendered available. The majority o' the crew and a number of the passengers. at the time of the sinking of the step were below engaged in bailing. " Some of the female passengers fell two or three times into the sea before they could be got into the boat. Oa of them, a stewardess, fell in three times, and once was pinched beta een the boat and the aide of the steamer. The captain did hie best to keep the pas seeeees esim and cool. It i s stated by many of the survivors that there was seldom so large an amount of money owned by pas sengers es was in the case of those who came by the Central A.eoerice. Many were persons of large means, and there were very few whose immediate wealth did not amount to hundreds, while numbers reckoned their gold by thousands of dollars. The greater portion of the passengers were returned miners, some coming hither to invest the capital they had realised, in hopes to live a life of greater ease as the result of their in dustry, end others to get their families and once more go to the land of gold. But as the storm continued to rage, lees and less of gold was thought of, and when, on Saturday, it became evident they were likely at any moment to be buried beneath the waves, wealthy men divested themselves of their treasure belts and scattered the gold upon the cabin floors, telling thoee to take it who would, lest its weight—a few ounces or pounds— carry them to their death. Full purses, containing in some instances 2,000 dole. were laying untouched on sofas. Carpet bags were opened by men and the shin ing metal was poured out on the floor with the prodi gality of death's despair. One of the passengers, who has fortunately been rescued, opened a bag and dashed about the cabin 20,000 dollars in gold dust, and told eim who wanted to gratify his greed for gold to take it But it was passed by untouched as the veriest dros.. A few hours before he would have struck down the man who would have attempted to take a grain of that which he now spurned from him,' "A passenger named Miller, who was lost, took a position at the top of the steps leading to the steerage ; he drew his revolver arid threatened to shoot any one Thererefusedwho Aecworas u di ntgoo race a w o o tte r h k are asstthatethti tI am aware pumps and attempted to g e t upon d ec k, t of ffemale survivor,— on the steamer up to the time we first espied the sail. which we believe brought us ielief. Thera seemed to be a perfect calmness, which I could not have belieyedit. possible for such a number of persons to exhibit under such fearful circumstances. But when the'brig hove in sight there were tears of joy, and the men worked with renewed energy and hope. The ladies begged 'of the men to work firmly and with all their strength, and said they would take hold and work themselves if the mon did not do their best. Some of the women begged to be allowed to assist, and some were so anxious that they even attempted Vo dress up in Men's clothing, so that they might-go down and help in the task.' "Of the working at the pumps, a passenger says : It' was rather &novel spectacle to see men at work, many of whom had never been in the habit of physical labour, ta, log hold with strength and willingness equal to the heartiest. After awhile the work began to be rather a serious affair for the strength and muscles. To keep up the spirits songs were sung, and every imaginable joke retailed to exoite Laughter and cheer the spirits'. Occasionally a man, notwithstanding the urgency of the occasion and the determination of m at, to make the work as cheerful as possi le, would fall from the ranks,. and it was utterly impossible to rouse them again to activity. Some were comp!. tely ex'austed physically, and had to reCre from work for that reamn ; but it was a fact that a few gave up in despav of the possibli y es' raving the steamer from sinking, and would not work. The example of that few had a tad effi'et upon others, notwithstanding, the conetant cheering remarks of the captain and officers that everything was working fa vourably. The men worked faithfully all Friday night, although under the serious disadvantage of but little light and no water or refreshments.' "Mrs. Small and her child were in charge of Captain Herndon, of whom she speaks with much emotion; She was handed into the boat by him. He appeared-sad, hot very firm. Mr . Small,' said he, this.is sad ;I am sorry not to get you home safaly.' With these words he turned -away:- - " Mr. Payne states that he was indebted to Captain Herndon for his life, I was in irk quent coremltation with him before I went, and he asked me what I thought of affairs. I said, Thank God,- the women and children are ail off, and we are strong.' He replied, Yes, thank God,' and added, You take the next boat.' This I did, but before I went he reque•ted me to go into his office and get his gold watch and chain, and, is saved, to carry tebna to his wife. Said he, Tell her—,' but his utter - Lance was choked by deep emotion, and he said no more on that subject, but changed it by saying be wished me to see the president of the c nmpany, Marshal 0. Roberts, and the agents, and communicate with them ia relation to the disaster. " After raying this much he walked away a few steps and at down ou a bench, with his bead in his hands, apparently overcome. He remained in that position a few moments, and then arose and resumed giving orders as the boat from the brig Marine returned. " The conduct of the head engineer, Ashby, was strongly condemned, and some of the rescued passengers talked of 'lynching' him. It is alleged that he aban doned the engine-room long before there was any neces sity. It is also charged against him that in the boat there were two seats vacant, and a person jumped into one of them ; at this instant Ashby, who was overseeing the shipmfnt of the women and children, drew his bowie knife, and raising as if to strike the man, commanded him to get oat. His arm was arrested by a person near, and the man retained his place. As th e b oa t p us h e d o ff; Ashby jumped in ; a general murmur arose, and a cry was heard, ' Shoot him The Captain called out that he depended upon hitn returning, which Ashby failed to do, alleging that the boat's crew refused to do so, fearing for their own safety. It is likewise stated that one of the survivors also averts that Ashby approoched him and threatened to cut the strap which held his life-pre server round his body; the interference of a passenger prevented him from taking it away from him. " C.i,ptaie Johnson, of the El,en, on board of which vessel many of the rescued received very kind treatment wakes the following statement I was forced by the wind to sail a little out of my course before I came up with you, and on altering it a small bird flew across the ship once or twig', and then darted into my face. I, however, took no notice of : this circumstance, and the same thing occurred again, which caused me to re g ard the circumstance as something extraordinary ; and while thinking on is in this way the mysterious bird for the third time appeare , t and went through the very same ex raordinary mance ivres, Upon this I was indueed to re-alter nay curse ibto the original one which I had been steering, and in a short time I heard noises, and on try ing t,) discover what they proceeded from. di.o mrered that I was in the midst of people who had been ship wrecked. I proceeded instantly to rescue them, and in a few mlments succeeded in getting four of them on board. Nut one of them could speak, all being perfectly senseless final exhaustion. After a few momenta we got another one n board. The first words he spoke were Where is my wife r—give me something to 111 " Mr. finding the iessel going down, wrenched a door from the wheel-house. Atter being on the raft about an hour or an Lour and a-half the ship west down, and apparently carried all on board with her. I had great difficulty in holding on to my raft, on account of the rou,;bness of the sea, and after having remained on it for about two hours I was drifted near a larger raft, on which there were five men. I then left my raft and swam to them. The darkness was so great that I coul not recognise any of them. We were frequently washed off by the force of the wavep, and had to swim to reach the ra't again. Soon I found one of our number was tniising. The rest of us--there Were now fire—clung to the raft as best we could, at times being washed off, and then regaining the raft by swimming to it. Towards morning a sea washed off all of us but one, and only two of the four succeeded in recovering the raft ; they had become ea chilled and exhausted that they bad not strength to reach it again,Tniwerel) , t. This left only three of3tis on the raft out of the six:that were on it.' A captain (Badger) who wai on board the Central America attributes the foundering of the vessel to the stoppage of the engines. She fill into the trough of the sea, and took in much water through her lee &Hilts and dead lights. It was aft-rwards ascertained that the cause of the stoppage of the eng i n es was the neglect of the fire and engi ne d e p ar t ment o f ge tting coal along from the bunkers to the fire-room fast enough to keep up the fires ; consequently all the engines stopped, as well as all the pumps attached to the engines. Au attempt was made to raise steam in the donkey boil-r. Births were torn and thrown into the furnace to raise the steam to start the pumps, but all to no avail. A drag was prepared but failed, and the ship continued in the trough of the sea. " Baling," says Badger, " went on vigorously and was kept up all night by gangs, wno were changed as often as they became exhausted. Towards morning the men were beginning to fail and the water to increase and grow up in the hold of the ship. At four o'clock on the morning of Saturday, the 12th, the gale abated, with a heavy sea running. They were encouraged by myself and -ethers with assurance that the ship would hold out. Every passenger remained cool, and seemed to forget his danger in the united efforts to save vessel. There was no weeping or exhibition of despair, even on the part of the women. At opt o'clock another at tempt was made to raise steam in the donkoy-'oiler to pump the ship, but without avaii. Ode proposed to box the pumps, but en inquiry no carpenter or tools could be found, and the water gained • rapidly. , The lee shaft was shrouded with heavy blankets to stop the leak, but the water burst through. At 2 o'clock on Saturday a sail was reported to windward, and at half past 3 she came under the stern. Boats immediately were lowered, but were stove instantly by the sea. Three boats still remained—one in a bad condition. At 4 o'clock the work of removing the ladies and children to the deck of tbe Marine was commenced. The brig being much lighter than the ship, had by this time drifted away to leeward. The distance was consider able, and the boats were long in making the trips and there being a heavy sea but few could be carried at a time. After sending tbe ladies and children the engineer and some 15 others were em barked on the brig. By this time it was dark. The work of baling was still teept on, but the water gained faster and faster upon the vessel. As the boats succes eively approached the s hip a simultaneous rush was that passengers to get on board, and it was ap prehendedat the boats would be filled and stove. It made by th was now dark. About two hours before the sinking of the ship a schooner ran down under our stern, but could not render any assistance for want of boats. The work of baling went •en until within an hour of her going down. Two lights of the above vessel were now seen far to leeward. - Rockas were fired from the wheel, but went downwards, The immediate sinking of the ship followed. Capt. Hearndon remained on the wheel up to the moment of her going down, which' was 8 o'clock on Saturday night. I was standing on the quarterdeck. Some jumped over, and put out from the now rapidly descending ship, and seized en whatever they could. No one shrieked or cried, but all stood calm. The captain behaved nobly, and sa.d he would not leave the ship. I promised him I would remain with him, as also did the second officer, Mr. Frazer. All at once the ship, as if in the agony of death herself, made a plunge on an angle of 45 degrees, and, with a shriek from the engulfed mass, she disap peared, and 500 human beings floated out on the bosom of the ocean, with no hope but death." A paper referring to the statements of passengers says We found no ono who would confess to a dread of death per se. One thought of his family, hie friends, and struggled for life for their sake.. Another wished to live that he might enjoy the treasure which he had stowed away on his person, and which would be saved if he was. A third, who bad lost everything, wanted to begin life anew, and make his fortune over again. A species of fatalism consoled some. If their time was come it was come, and they saw their comrades in misfortune fail in their last struggle and sink with scarcely. a pang One man told us he went to sleep in the water." One survivor makes rather an amusing statement : "I guess I bad been about four hours in the water and had floated away from the rest, wt en the waves ceased to make any noise, and I heard my mother say, `Johnny, did you eat sister's grapes ?' I hadn't thought of it for 20 years at least. It had gone clean out of my mind. I bad a stater that died of consumption more than 30 years ago,. and when she was sick—l was a boy , of 11 or so—a neighbour had sent her some early hot house grapes. Well, those grapes were left in a room where I was, and—l ought to have been skinned alive for it, L little rascal that was--I devoured them all Mother came to me after I had gone to bed, when she couldn't find the fruit for sister to moisten her mouth with in the night, and said, 'Johnny, did you eat sister's grapes ?' I did not add to the meanness of my conduct by telling a lie. I owned up, and my' niother went away in tears,' but without flagging me. It - occasioned me a qualm of conscience for many a year after ; but, as I said, for 20 'yeari at least I had not thought of it, till, when . ' was floating about benumbed with o.ld, I heard it as plain as ever I heard her voice in my life. I heard it:miller say, Johnny, did you eat•sister's grapes I don't know to account for it. It did not scare.me, though. I thought it was a presage of inx death." A. survivor says—" Five hundred men, with death yawning before them at any moment, stood solid as a rock, nor made a movement for the boats until the women and children had all been safely transported to the brig, after which about 40 of the ere v and male passengers, in a few trips, reached the latter vessel be- fore the steamer went down." Several of the passengers whole position and intelli gence, and, withal, the trying:citcumistances in which the ship was placed, ought to 'have restrained them from deporting themselves other than properly, drank exces sively of liquors on board the ship, provably from their own private stores, and made themselves very noisy and troublesome. Two of the passengers of high social and p Utical associations refused to work, but got alarm ingly drunk, so much so that their more sober compa- nions had to put them in their berths. In that condition they lay when the 'steamer sank. Others, being corn pletely exhausted, took to their berths, and went down with the vessel. An elderly woman implored the captain to allow her husband to go in the boat with her ; she was refu id. Very kindly but firmly Captain Hirridon told her that no man could leave-the:steamer until all the women had gone. Jnst before she went down into the boat her husband took her by ;the hand and bade her good by. He toll her that he would try and meet her again, but that perhaps he would not be able. Sile never saw Um again. Another woman tells a similaAipainful story. The engineer stoutly denies the allega'ions made against him. It is asserted that the pumps and donkey engine of the vessel were unserviceable. Sangnina hopes were entertained of the a tfety of the captain (Herndon) and a number of passengers. When the reisel went down the captain way on deck on the wheelhowie, and when last seen was clinging to a plank. PICCOLOMINI AND GIUGLI ( From the Birmingham!, Journal. ) Wednesday evening last was signalised by the finest ' concert we have listened to for some years. The scheme was au admirable one, the vocalists in the first ranks of their profession, and the audience, though not so nume , ous as the occasion merited, musical and discriminating to a degree. The concert commenced with th e t r i o f rom Don Giovanni," between the Dan (Mdighieri), his valet Leporello (Belletti), and the Ciintrandatore (Rossi), sung with that aplomb and method only possible to Ita lian actors and singers. The duetto which followed, b, Madame Potna and Signor Rossi, was also a flee speci men of operatic singing, Rossi pourtraying his share with a conic vivacity and genuine spirit so infectious that the audience at once received its tone of e j , yinent for the night. Piccolornini and Bell-tti fellewed in the ever fresh " La ci darem." If the cha rms of the fictitious Zeilina at ell equally i those of her bewitching represen• tative, the enslavement of the dashing D need cause no wonderment, for never did a more fascinating little cantatrice warble her way into the heart of hidalgo or grandee, cavalier or true knight, than this sates c3p i vating c4,anteuse. An enthniiastic encore was gr: e fully re-p inileit to, Pice,loinini appearing to enj iy the affair equally with the audience. The prelude to the next piece might have been very reel played; very few peop'e, however, we in aeine, heard it; the tole intere-t centring in a quiet-1 inking, swarthy foreigner, whose black hair, thro .vn behind ears, inclination to stoutness, a• d t4ron,zly marked features, reminded us of F‘ire,s ; bat hi w u n like the profundities of the Geriran singer the silvery tones of this Italian marvel, we ' , nye no hesitetion in placing Gtugiiut as the very first 1 ring tenor, the trumpet clang and the vibrating sound of Reeves, and a sort, • pure, and liquid tone and charming expressi , in pfcli!iarlyt his own—these const.tate the attractions of this magiii• ficent singer. The audience wee evidently not prepared for such perfection, and the applause was unmistakeably genuine. Giugiini quietly reepen led, ALA once inure di-lighted the audience. He sings so ea: el; end uti• affectedly, his voice is so equal aid true, his tours de force are so magnificent, alai his cadeices melt in the a r with such sweetness aed purity, that we ere certainly justified, considering all his setiibutes, in naming him the finest singer of the day. Toe lung aed itig duet (from "Rime() and Juliet") by Mantles. Spezia and Ortolaui, enabled the audience to reenin their wonted calmness in time for Belletti's splendid singing of Haydn's greet piece (with organ accompaniments) " Anil God said," with its flee air, "Now liraven,' &c. ; he achieved a triumph, and afforded a lesson to some of cur native singers, his articulation was s.e) good and his points s admirably made. Piccelornini enchanted the audience by the irresistible grace and abandon with which she sang and acted " I dreamt that ti welt," and was again enthusiastically encored. Mad le: Spezia sang with effect in "Qui la voce," dieplayieg a voice of great compass and flexibility ; her execution, too, of the diffi. cult passages in the cabaletta being most arti-tic. In the famous trio from "It Maeromonia Segreto," farne liarly known as "My Lady the Countess," Piccolornini displayed her talent for comedy the more wonderful when contrasted with the pathetic tenderness she infused into the mournful and graceful air from " La Figlia," " Cowden partir." This Queen of the fete never could have received a greater ovation in her triumphal career than from the audience on Wednesday last. Whether from fluency of vocalisation, stage cep abilities, keen ap preciation of the ludicrous, or volubility of utterance, we have never heard a more effective performance than the "tin segro" duet, from " Cenerent.ile," by Beietti and Rossi. We have already perhaps trenched upon our space too far, but the theme is so tempting, and such of our readers who were present will so readily find excuses for us, and justice must he done to these a inaira,b!e per fortuere, that—in short Giuglini in the re x ; air, " Della sua pace," not only ratified our previously conceived good opinion, bat if possible increased it. Should he pay a second visit, we hope a hall full of the adtrerers of the joyous science will share our pleasure. ^ Mdl e. Spezia should not sing "Tacea la unite ;" she is unequal to it. As there is always a gem in every concert, so was there in this—the duet from " Lucia ;" Giuelini and Piccol nnin commencing with the tenor s•do, " Sub, tombs," em bracing the melodious duet, "Venano and ending with the adieu of the lovers. An encore as irresistible as it was de-erved followed, and we must say, often us we have heard this famous piece, we never until Wed nesday night perfectly realised it. Madame Poma sang "Il segreto" well and effectively, though it is possible to become tired even of this ; and the laughter-moving "Papatacci " trio, superbly sung by Gitiglini, Belletti, and Rossi, brought the vocally successful concert to a brilliant termination. The weather may have had some ibflaence on the attendance, but we trust, should these unequalled artistes pay us a second visit, that Birmingham will sustain its reputation for musical taste by supporting them to the fullest extent of the Town Hall capabilities. Signor Voschetti played modestly and intelligently, and kept himself sufficiently and agreeably under throughout the concert. TIIE LATE SIR CHARLES NAPIER ON ME BA LL9T. The people should have the ballot. It is their secu rity and their will, and therefore their right also. When Sir Thos. Maitland assumed the government of the lonian Islands, he abolished the election of members of the Legislative Assemb) , by ballot, which had hither to prevailed, and he established the vote rivet rote. I am not aware of any other act of his act which gave so much dissatisfaction. While the ballot existed, elec. tions passed quietly ; there was no canvassing ; rough nature grewa rather more civil at such periods ; the thermometer of urbanity ranged higher ; nu bribes were thought of. A tolerable guess was, perhaps, made how each man would vote, but no one was sure. Anger or violence provoked black beans—affability conciliated white beans. The effect was, as I have said, that in creased cordiality was perceived in society, and bad feelings (tor the Moment at least) were repressed ; but when the open vote was ettablislied, the fiercest passions burst forth. Formerly we were told, "Of two evils choose the least." The doctrine is altered. "Of two evils choose the greatest." Starve your children rather than give your vote against your politics. Break the law of nature rather than disotlige a man of adverse politics. Destroy your family immediately, for fear the aabeas Corpus Act should be suspended a hundred years hence. This is " being English," in the opinion of those who breakfast, dine, and sup plenteously— Stoics in theory, and Sybarites in practice. When the Duke of Wellington chased Massena from Portug,ll, I was three days without food. Toe fiiet day was any hing but agreeable ; the second convinced me of the close alliance that there was between honour and an oven ; and on the third day I would, for a biscuit, have •oted for the Duke of Newcastle himself ! It any Tory can prove o me that my not voting for him at the nt-x' election will be followed by the unt owsrd feeling 1 had in my stomach in the Estrella mountains, .1 will give him a plumper against the best Reformer in England. Really oue cannot reasau seriously on such a subject." DEATH FROM LOCK-JAW. —FATAL FALL DOWN, STAIRS. —An inquest was taken on Saturday night by Mr. W.

A large detachment of metropolitan turfites is now located in the ancient city of Chester. The Corner, this afternoon, will, therefore, be nearly deserted, and the betting on the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire will be dull and unimportant. In my "Notes" on Satur day I briefly referred to the probable result of to-day's racing, and I will now bring to-morrow's "card" under consideration. The Wynnatay Nursery Handicap will command a respectable field—Lady Elizabeth, Magnus Troll, and Lot 3 are as much entitled to notice as any amongst Vie nominations. The Grand Stand ET,andi cap is merely another Narsery, nearly the same animals seing nominated for it as those amongst the entries for the Wynntay. Haymaker and T. P. Cooke are not unfavourably weighted. Mali of Derwent has been talked about in conne l ction with the Chester Handicap, but her running has been so suspicious of late that I have lost all faith in her. Still it is asserted by people who ought to be well-informed that she sti.l retains all her racing ability unimpaired. " If meant," I shall expect to see her perform not in gl iriously. In her default I shall look to Kestrel, Saun terer, and Bashi Bizouk to furnish the winner. The " day of Humiliation" will create a gap in the Royal Caledonian Hunt Meeting which will take place on Tuesday, Thu-sday, and Friday. The amount of aided money is sufficiently large to induce gentlenien to send their horses, albeit the gat:wring takes place i in a locality so remote that strong fields are impossible.: The Diptbong colt and Hamlet may be first and secona for the. Caledonian ILifidl4p.- t. S Lout,' ,Riseber be sect for the Caledonian St. Leger he may have no difficuy in pulling throng). For the Lothian Handicap Pshall select Underhand and Uzella, and for the Auld Reekie Plate Culcavy and Mr. Merry's " intended." Tue Bi,dford fixture seems promising enough. The prc , gramme comprises ten events, and if the racing is not likely to be vastly interesting it will ex:iite curio city and serve the purposes of speculation. The grand Duchess will win the Two Year Old Stakes. For the Handicap I am inclined to "stand" the two . light weight., Queen Bess and Weatherglass, and either New Brighton or Jessie ought to win the Scurry Plate. A FRESH MAN. TATTERS ALL'S— SATURDAY.

Rev. and EidAr Brother,---I have this evening heard in this remote place, that Wednesday next is to be ob served throughout the three kinvotns as a day of solsrun hutniiiwion. I gre.tly regret that circumstances have unexpectedly rendered it impossible for me to be present in London, and to take part in your services on this deeply important day ; but I trust to be with you in spiri , . L,t rue recAntnend to you, while our prayers thus ascend to God, that we do not forget the duties of Chistian love and charity, which we ewe t 3 our suffering fellow countrymen ; and that, if possible, an opportu nity be given to your congregations of contributing to the support of those whom the mysterious events which have lately occurred iu India have p'unged in unforeseen poverty. Earnestly trusting that Almighty God will hear our humble prayers, I remain rev, and dear brother your faithful servant, A. C. LONDON. The Bishop of Winchester (Dr. C. Sumner) has ad dressed the following note to the elergy of his diocese : —" Farnham Castle, Oct. 1857.—Rev. and dear ST, — Ht Dilajosty having been pleased to direct that Wed nesday, Oct. 7, shall be observed as a public day of solemn fast, humiliation, and prayer, on account of the lamentable events which have occurred in India, I earnestly recommend that con:ri butions be made in your church on that occasion in behalf of the sufferers by the mutiny. The proceeds may be remitted to the Lord Mayor of London, the chairman of the com mittee of the fund now raising in London for that object.—l am, rev. and dear sir, your faithful friend brother, C. WINTON." OFFICIAL FOLLY. (From the Freeman.) A startling illustration of official folly is afforded by the fit owing incident. A week or two since we men tioned that a massacre had been averted at Monghir by information coininunicat d to the magistrate of the'sta tion by a native Christian. A letter implicating the de puty imagist' ate and tie darogah of the jail, both Mohainedens, was discovered by the magistrate in the post-office. In the house of one of them were found three Pathans, suspected of having taken part in the assassi nation of Dr. Lyell at Patna. All were arrested, ex amined, pronounced guilty, and sent on to Bhaugulpore for punishment. The sapient judge there released the ringleaders, not even taking bail. It now appears that in doing so, he listened to the representations of the chief officer of his court, who is part owner of an estate with the Monghir deputy magistrate, and to the fears of the officer of the Native Irregular Force stationed at Bhau gulpore. The three Patnaus were, however, kept in confinement. And now comes the crowning act of folly and incapacity. This judge orders the native Christian t , be apprehended, to be lodged in jail under the dare gab, one of the traitors, and sent as a convict to his native place iii Tirhoot. He is most cruelly abused by the Mussulrn n darogah. The missionary interferes, and offers security, but it is refused, unless the most exoroi tent bail is given. All the European inhabitautans of the station unite in protesting against the cruelty of the act—but no intervention prevails. And this poor man, for simply giving information which led to the discovery of a murderous plot, to whom the lives of scores of Euro peans—men, women and children—are owing, is treated by this official as guilty of crime, and is savagely com mitted for custody to the tender mercies of one of the conspirat .re ! The Company's Government bat often enough rebuked for impertinence the men who have offered to impart important intelligence, but it remained to perfect its intolerable haughtiness by punishirig an innocent man fur saving the lives of its own servants, as well as those of interloping Englishmen.

Had the boat been other than a first-class litebwit and so fitted I would not bays risked the lives of the crew.—l am dear Sir, yours truly, 4 W. EDWARD. To Mr. A. Batten, Aberdeen." Mr. Richard Clayton, described as a job-master and ginger-beer and soda -water manutacturar, living at 37u, Hugh-street, Belgrave-road, a portly mae about 40 years of age, with a wife and family, was placed at the bar before Mr. Paynter on Saturday, at .the Westminster Police-court, charged with violating the person of Hannah Bond, a diminutive child, under the age of 14 when the offence was alleged to have been committed. Mr. Sleigh conducted the prosecution on behalf of the Associate Institution for the Protection of Women . ; and Mr. Salomon defended the prisoner. Mr. Sleigh, in opening his case, said that the charge againat the prisoner was for violating his own servant, whose virtue, as a respectable member of society, b e • was bound to have protected, and, if he (lir. Sleigh) was properly instructed, a more disgraceful case had never been brought before a criminal tribunal, in which words would fail him to describe the atrocity of the offence. He then went on to describe the circum stances of the case as afterwards proved in evidence, and concluded by observing that after the commission of the offence the prisoner absented himself from his home an.l family, and was found skulking at a coffee-shop in tce Waterloo-road, where the constable, who had been some days previously in quest of him, apprehended hini,"'w when he admitted he had placed his hand up the child's clothes. Harriet Bond, a very modest quiet looking child, said she was 14 years of age last Sunday, and now liveis with her parents at 131, Smith-square. She was in prisoner's service three months previously to last Thursday - week. Prisoner was a married man with a wife and two children. No other servant was kept in the house. On Tuesday week, the 22,1, her mistress went to the Crystal Palace with the children, leaving her alone in the house. Prisoner came in abou; half an hour after she bad gone, and told her to clean his boots and bring him some hot water. She went up stairs with the water to his bedroom, and he then asked her how it was her mistress had not taken her to the Crystal Palace, and followed it up by inquiring whether she would not like to go, to which she replied in the affirmative. He then asked her whether she would go with him in the phaeton to the palace, and she said she would not. She was at this time on the stairs, when he took her by the arm, and carryi n g h e r i n t o the room, threw her on the bed, and committed the offence with which he now stood charged. She screamed, when he. put his hand over her mouth, and prevented her. She struggled to get away, bet his power was so great that it was useless to attempt it.- After . the consul:lunation ef the offence he told her be would give her Si. for the frit time, ss. per week, and that if she did not like her pleas she where was to run sway from her home, and he would take lodgings for her, visit her every evening, and a'ce lot'. out. Prosecutrix told Mrs. Blackmore, a woman who lived in tie rear of the premises, what had losea done, and the same evening also -told a charwoman, who informed her parents. In cross-examination by Mr. Solomon, prosecutrix said that there was nobody in the house but their two. selves. Prisoner's brother Edward was not the.q,,7;: Her master's bedroom was the first flier back, the wtflo w.l faced Mrs. Blackmore's window, but there was a largo yArd separated them. Her master's window was shut:. Remembers Mrs. Blackmore seeing her shortly after the occurrence, and remarking that she had a very red face. Did not say that sbe had had such a rump with her master. She might have told her so, but did not recol lect or think that she did. She thought her reply to Mrs. Blackmore was that she bad been flurried a great dud. Thought she might have said, "Don't tell my mistress ; I shall Tree may situation. I would not have my mother know it kr: the world." I subsequently told ,Mrs Blackmore all that bad happened, and that she screamed, but Mrs. Blackmore said she did not hear her. SAW her mistress at ten that night, but did not say a single word to her about it. Told the charwoman on the Wednesday night. Had said in a joke to her sister that the potboy at the St. George was her chap, but that was merely in fun, as she knew nothing of him. Prisoner's wife wa4 not at :hi bottom of this prosecution, but she had said she should like to see him in Newgate, and that ptosecu trix's father and mother oeght to go to a magistrate. Mr. George Pearce, a member of the College of Surgeons, 10, Regent-street, Westminster, said lie ex amined the child on the 2611 ult. There a ere no marks of violence. The hymen was not present, and inter course had been had with her. Her appearance wa.i consistent with what had occurred on the pnvious Tues day. Other appearances might have presented them selves had the examination been more recent. There was nothing now to determine when the intercourse bad occurred. The child's mother said she had hitherto been very well behaved. Po in::-c,instah!o G. J. Powley, 228 B, said he had been seeking the prisoner in different quarters from the previous Saturday, and found him on Friday afternoon at a coffee-Mop in the Waterloo-road, where he was passing under the name of Mr. Wood, from \Yoking. fie said he knew the chargo against him, and in Vie cab on big way to the station be admittel he bad taken the likerty with the child described at the conclusion of Mr. Sleigh's address. Mr. So,omon was about to address the court, when the officer said he had something to all. The Child's tno . ,her had been offered 501. on her way to the court that morning to withdraw the prosecution. Mr. Poynter asked the mother whether that was so ! The mother n-pli-d it bad been off,red by John Downey, a ft lend of the prisoner's. Mr. Solomon s tid his client could not be accountable for the conduct I f other people. Besides, 'a man would willingly, guilty or int:ocent, give that amount, sooner than have swell a charge as this hanging over his head. fie then addressed the magistrate at c n,i lerahle ltrigth for his client, urging that his vii e had instigated the prosecution, and that although he felt bound to ad mit improprieties had occurred bztween Mr. C!ayt in and the prosecutrix, it was with her own consent. Ile then called Mrs. Jane Blackmore, the wife of a man in prisoner's employment, living at 6, St. George's mews, Hugh-street, who said that his window and that of ttie prisoner's room were nearer than described by the chili, and that prisoner's window was open at the time of the occurrence, but she heart no screams. When she saw her in the afternoon she asked her the reason of her face being so red, when the reply she made was, that she and her master had been romping. In cross-examira'ion by Mr. Sleigh, she could not tell any other day that the prisoner's window had been open. She had come to the court that morning with Mr. Clay ton, and her he-band was in his employ. Mr. Sleigh--Did not the prosecuttix t(11 you tbat something particular had happened to herl—Witness : No, she did not. Mr. Sleigh—Did she not tell you her master bad titrown her on the bed ? Witness—No, she did not. Air. Sl-iigh—Now, be careful, inadel , n. You may hear of this elsewhere. Will you swear ;h►t ehe did not to 1 you co I Witness hesitated. Mr. Sleigh—l'll have my question answered ; this will not do for me. Did she not tell you he tbrsw her on the bed ? Come, answer. Witness—Well, she did. Mr. Sleigh (hastily)—Ai d did she no. tell you he held his hind over her month to prevent her screaming! Witness—She did (with great hesitation). Mr. Sleigh—Woman, stand down ; 111 a , l; you no more questions. You cught to be ashamed of yourself. Mr. Paynter—Turn her out of court. A strong inclination was manifested by the auditory, who had exhibited some sensation, to treat the woman as she was handed out with hisses. This closed the case, when Mr. Paynter said heshould commit the prisoner for trial at the Central Criminal Court, but he must be brought up again for the depoiitions to be road ovc r. Mr. Seloinon hoped that what had just occurred with tke witness, would n)t create a prejudice, and prevent bail bean; accepted fur his client. Mr. Paynter said he would not accept bail, and pri- soner was accordingly removed t 3 the cells to await ttii arrival of the prison van.
