VEN ING EDITION. DREADFUL RAILWAY ACCIDEN T AT SELBY. VERDICT OF THE, JURY ON THE FIRST . INQUEST. _ . . Immediately after the Eidj,,uinment of the inquest at Brind, on Saturday, which we published in The Sun of Wednesday, the Coroner proceeded to Howden fur the purpose of holding an inquest upon the b.,dies of Cragg and Aldersmith, the unfortunate gentlemen who were not instantaneously killed by the accident. Ai soon as the jury had ben impanelled, they pro ce. Jed to view the bodies. Mr. Aldersmith did hot ap pear to have been much mutilated—only a few bruises being apparent—conveying thereby the impression that the injury must have been inflicted internally. Mr. Cragg was more severely crushed. A bolt of iron or some other hard substance appeared to have entered the back part of the bead, causing a gash that was truly frightful to look upon. After the jury mad returned from viewing the bo dies to the Half Moon Inn, where the inquest wai being held, the Coroner granted his warrant a uthorising the re. latives of the deceased to remove the bodies. He then suggested that the inquest should be adjourned till nine o'clock on Wednesday morning next. The Jury, previously to separating , were bound over in their own recognizances of 401. each, to appear at the above time. TrESDA V. The adjourned inquest on the three persons who were killed immediately on the ouertutning of the carriages, was held at Loftsome-bridge Inn, this morning, at half past nine o'clock. William Lee deposed that he had seen the dead body of the female, and knew her to be his sister, Elizabeth Lee. She was thirty-five years of age, and was a single woman. John Butterfield deposed, that he resided at Leeds, and had been for nearly six years foreman in the Leads and Selby Railway Company's warehouses. He remembered the iron casting being put on the carriage at Leeds, on the 6th instant. It belonged to the Leeds and Selby Company. He did not see the casting till after it had been put on the waggon. He could not be certain of its being fastened by either rope or chain at that time. It was the regular custom to lash goods on the waggons, and had the casting not been fastened, he thought he should have observed it. He had before sent similar things of the same size. Ho had sent similar castings on the 23d and 27th ult., and they were all laid upon the waggon in the same way as the present one, and all arrived in safety at their destination. William Faxcett was the guard on the former occa sions, when the castings were sent, as well as on the day when the accident happened. The casting left Leech on Thursday night, in a luggage train. When the casting was sent on the 23d July, he assisted in lashing it with a rope, and it was tied two or three times across, and once or twice lengthwise, and then fastened to hooks on the sides of the waggon. Had no doubt that the last casting was lashed similarly to the former ones ; bad it not been it would have caught his attention. Mr. Hogarth deposed that he was a commercial tra veller, and lived in Lombard-street, London, and that he was at Selby on Friday last ; he was at the depot about ten minutes before the train came up from Leeds to Selby ; when it came he observed that there was a casting en one of the carriages, and thought it looked insecure, and ob jected to go into the next carriage to the truck or, that account, and went by the last cart iage but one of the train. He (witness) was not certain whether he told any person belonging to the depot about the casting or not, but he thought he did. Just before the accident occurred. he thought that they were going at the rate of thirty miles an hour, and the carriages seemed to rock about considerably. He did not observe that the rope fastening the casting was worn, but he thought it very unsafe. Mr. Gutteridge deposed that he was the chief manager of the Leeds and Selby Railway, at the S. lby station. Part of his duty was the arrangement of the carriages. aui he consider, d that the carriages with goods were safer • nearer the engine than at a distance. He had never known of any accident resulting from the same cause as the pie sent, on any other railway. The engine t'eat took the train was called the " Colliagwood." The truck on which the eastng was laid belonged to the Leeds and Selby Railway Company. No passengers were killed in the . two first carriages. Mr. John Gray, engineer, deposed that he had been connected fur 13 . 3 ears with the Liverpool and Manchester Ran way Company, and was practically acquainted with the working of the engines His attention had been directed to the beat manner of arranging carriages in the train. He considered the best mode of arranging them wa ,, to place two-thirds or three-fourths of the goods' car. iiages nearest the tender, and the rest after the passengers' carriages. He did not consider it unsafe or improper to send castings by the passengers' trains. In nine cases net of ten, the collisions on railways take place by engines getting off the rails ; when it seldom happens that more than the first six carriages arc thrown cff the line by any accident whatever William Greavesdeposed that the truck with the casting was place d next the tender, and that truck was the property of the Leeds and Selby Railway Company. The next was a first-class carriage, and belonged to the Leeds and Selby Company. The next was a second-class carriage, and belonged to the Hull Company. These were both .erapt3. Then came two third.class carriages ; one be ''' longed to the Hull and Si lby Company, and the other to toe York and Leeds. Did not know whether there were passengers in both these carriages, or only ens. Did not know whether the female who was dead was in one of these carriages or not. Mr. Veltman and Mr. taead were in a second-class carriage from York. The engine belonged to the Hull and Selby Railway Company. The CORONER, in charging the Jury, sail he did not think that they would be justified in returning a verdict of either wilful murder or manslaughter. He certainly thought that proper attention had not been paid by the Leeds and Selby Company in seeing that the casting was properly fastened, and it was for them to consider what amount of deodand they would impose upon any of the parties. The Jury retired, and at half-past three o'clock returned with a verdict of " Accidental death," and laid a DEO DAND of FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS upon the en gine and the whole of the carriages, being jointly the pro perty of the Leeds and Selby, and Hull and Selby, Rail way Companies. It is said that the melancholy occurrence has caused the premature accouchement of Mrs. Veltman. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. o THE MANCHESTER DISTILLERY C ,, MPANY IN THE MATTER OF F. G. CARkt'THERS On Wednesday, the day fixed for the choice of assignees, in the matter of this bankrupt, .ome extraordinary closures were elicited. The case cam, before S. C. F. Williams, in the Court of Bankruptcy, Basinghall-street, when Mr. Lloyd attended on behalf of several creditors who, he said, bad been defrauded out of their property by the bankrupt. The Messr,. Ladhroke were creditors for upwards of 10,0001., advances which they made upon the guarantee of the father for the son. The proof having been admitted, The bankrupt was sworn, and examined at great Iczigth by Mr. Lloyd, and stated in eff , ct as fellows : I am now living at Nu. 8. Manchester-buildings, West,- stcr, with my wife, tily Lather is not in England, and may ►:e on the Continent ; I believe some% here in the n. ighbourhood a Brussels. I Ist beard from him two ago. through one of my brothers, who now lives ht Dulwich, but generally reside s with my father, whom I last saw about three weeks ago, at Nu. 63, Vauxhall road, and since the 14th of July last, when the fiat was issued against ire. Mr. Lloyd—Have you deliv,red up everything you had at Manch( st.,r? Bankrupt—l have left everything after me there, except the clothes which I brought to London. I have a cash book, which was kept until the month of August last, and since that period I put a few things into my ledger. I have not been at Manchester since the fiat, but Mr. Spires, our managing clerk, still resides upon the premises. The business was carried on as the Manchester Distillery Com pany, originally by my father and myself, and a deed of partnership was regularly drawn up by Mr. Hoare, a soli citor, of which I have a copy at my lodgings; and the dis solution of the partnership took place in January last, which was notified in the Gazette of the 22d of that month. I still carried on the business as the Manchester Distillery Company, under the name of Carruthers and Co. An ac count of the stock, debts, &c., was taken at the time of the dissolution of partnership, and I gave my father 10,0001 as the consideration for his leaving the whole business to me. By Mr. Commissioner WlLLiams—Then what amount of capital had you to begin with ? Bankrupt—We worked from the beginning upon Messrs. Ladbroke's acceptances, which were to a very large amount. They were our only capital. My debts to the bankers are now about 18,0001. or 19,0001. ; my distil. lery creditors from 1 5001. to 2,0001. ; and my private debts amount to 2,3001. fo r f urn i ture, p l ate, & c . I had some plate from Allenson and Mason. of Holborn, to the amount of 2801., and from Rundell and Bridge to about 1301., but the former was returned, and the latter I left with my brother-in-law at Manchester. The Bankrupt then went on to admit, that he had ob tained carriages, plate, jewels, and other costly articles, at the very time that there was against him an extent in aiu frcm the: Crown, for 4.500 L, whilst the value of the spirits with which to satisfy this demand did not exceed 2,5001 The Solicitor to the fiat said that he believed the bankrupt's boo'ts were fatancations. In answer to questions put by the Learned Commis sioner, the bankrupt admitted that there was slit at his lodgings linen to the value of from 601. to 801., and some wine in his cellar. The COMMIPIONER thereupon directed the messeng er t „ proceed thither with the bankrupt, and take pi ss,„ion of every letter, book, and paper, and admonished the bode_ rupt that all his property, excepting wearing apparel, must be given up. The bankrupt then left the Court with the messenger to take possession of everything.

Every step they make in knowledge, every revelation which comes to them of their own condi- non, of their own power, and their indispensable services, must indispose them more and more to live oppressed outcasts from our political system. It is plain, by what recently occurred at Birming ham, that they will not be fooled by other men, whatever tricks their own passions may play them. At Birmingham they carried by a great majority a resolution declaring that they would not trouble themselves about foreign matters, but would devote their energies to improve their own political con dition.

The lark and her cheerful brood rested quietly amidst the farmer's corn as long as he looked for the help of neighbours and friends to reap it, but when he took the sickle into his own hand, and called his sons to begin their work, she knew it was time to depart. We shall have agitation, deep and wide-spread agitation, not to pull down the Corn .laws nor set up the Church— not to turn out the Whigs and put in the Tories, but agitation to raise and better the condi tion of the industrious classes, by securing to them a share in the power of making laws equal to their numbers.

We yesterday alluded to the very numerous and powerful classes who supported Toryism, but could not save it from falling under the ban of the nation. It had with it also, iet us now add, nearly all the squires and all the parsons ; moreover, it had nearly all the wits on its side. Couriers and Posts daily abounded in smart epigrams on unwashed Radicals and eighteen-penny dinners. The satire on the greasy mob was bitter and pungent. Every kind of political enthusiasm afforded the Tory poetasters a theme for ridicule; and, from CANNING to PRAED, every Tory rhymester directed the earliest efforts of his muse against those who endeavoured to protect themselves against the faction which plundered the people in the sacred name of the country. Every hungry student from Dublin, or every young parson from Oxford, who preferred poetry to theo logy, offered his pen to the Tories to satirize the Radicals, and was employed at a high price. All these helps—all the power of the priesthood and the squirearchy, all the persiflage of all the hired and bribed witlings of the hour, could not save Toryism from decay and from contempt. The thing has actually died out. have yet some Tories, but they hide them selves under the new name of Conserva tives, and Toryism is extinct. The hot, recreant Whig STANLEY, and cautious, slippery PEEL have glided into Conservatism. They have consented to abolish the Irish Corporations—the fastnesses of insulting and tyrannical Toryism in Ireland—and they have agreed to unite the Canadas, giving up the divide-and-rule system established by the Tories. They have agreed to something like a Reform of the Church, however inadequate, and have declared by the mouth of the Duke of WEL LINGTON that the old, lumbering, wheezing Cprpo ration must live, like bears, on its own fat, and must not look to be further pampered by the State.

From such a change it is plain that there is something in truth and honesty stronger than the whole combined power of the parsons, the squires, the would-be aristocracy of the middle classes, and the witlings. With a sincere and honest purpose, these are powerful auxiliaries, but they cannot make a dishonest and insincere purpose tri umphant. On the contrary, when injured men are made sport of, their sense of injustice be comes sharpened by indignation, and they never rest till they have overthrown those who find food for merriment in the misery they cause. When religion, too, is prostituted to inflict or gloze over a political wrong, the hopes of future and of pre sent happiness are crushed at a blow, and men fancy it is a duty to GOD and themselves to root out the injurious system. A corrupted literature and a corrupted priesthood, with all their power, cannot save a party from destruction which does not follow sound and honest principles, and ruin will fall on every party which relies on them. A Government is the weightiest and most important of all human devices and undertakings, or it is a mere engine of mi,chief, and it cannot be success fully defended by the same arms as a pageant or a ball. Qf),e :uu+ LONDON: FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1840. Now that the Parliament is prorogued it may be expected that the people will begin to ag;tate. To expect repose under our present institutions is hopeless. The authors of the Reform Act always spoke of it as a means to an end, in which the Uhra-Radicals and Chartists agree with them ; though both parties contemplate somewhat different ends, and each would work the Reform Act to obtain different objects. The Tories acknowledge the same fact, and endeavour to mis- direct the movement they cannot stop. Some per- sons demand more Church, some less—some more Courts, some a narrower limitation of the judicial power—some require extension of the suffrage, others to curtail that which has been granted. The aristocracy thick the democracy have gained too much ; the democracy assert that they must have a great deal more. No patty, no class, and no con dition is contented with Gu r institutions as they now exist, and it is therefore impossible that the country should be free from political agitation. After the close of last Session the Tories and the bigots combined commenced a furious agitation, and appealed to the people to stand by Protestant- sm and the Peerage. Their gain was so small, the divisions amongst their own parties which en- sued were so great—the enthusiasm of the bigots The Madrid Journals received are of the sth inst. The resignation of no fewer than eleven Spanish Generals is reported. General O'DoN NELL is not among the number. The capital was tranquil. The Five per Cents. were done on the 4th at 27 1-16 for cash, and at 27 5-16 at 60 days, and the debt bearing no interest at 54 for cash. being totally at variance with the compromising expediency of the politicians—that they will find no encouragement to renew the game.

Although this declaration of independence of the Ministry as to the opinions expressed by the Constitutionnel may be regretted, when the objeet is to disavow, on the part of the Cabinet, language which had given intense satisfaction to all the friends of the alliance between the two nations, and which had contributed in no slight degree to tranquillise the public mind, to restore confidence in the funds, and to give stabilit3 to commerce, thus really showing how little a rupture is desired by influential parties in France; yet, taking the declaration of the Constitutionnel to be sincere, it establishes a highly important fact.—viz., that the non official Journals. which are supposed to express the opinions of the Cabinet, are really not i's organs. This fact once established, the violent language of some of these Journals, which was attributed to the Cabinet, and which, therefore, produced alarm in the public mind as to the state of the relations with England, must be set down at its real value —newspaper declamation, The leading Opposition Journals are not quite satisfied with the disavowal of the Cabinet as to any dictation of articles in the Constitutionnel and Messager.

We find no other news of any moment in Wed nesday's Journals, except a report of the arrival of advices from Alexandria, stating that MEll EmET A LI would not give up the fleet, in consequence of instructions received from France. We can place reliance upon none of these reports. Those of one day are sure to be contradicted the next. The present is the very reverse of the one which pre ceded it by twenty-four hours. Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON arrived on Tuesday night in Paris. He is confined in the prison of the Concierger ie. " A report was spread yesterday afternoon," says the Commerce of Wednesday, " that the Govern ment had just received notice of a revolution at Constantinopl e for dethroning the SULTAN, and placing his younger brother on the throne. The revolution was said to be the work of the old Turkish party, headed by KHOSREW PASHA. Nothing on the subject appeared, however, in the Evening Journals. If the reports are true, it is to be regretted that they were only communicated to some privileged persons, and that they should have coincided with a fall in the funds. M. TurEas ought to avoid more than anybody having his name and those of his friends mixed up with stock jobbing." The closing remark is not uncalled for, inasmuch as, during the last Administration of M. THiEits, the funds were daily affected by rumours which were said to influence the fortunes of some members of his Government. Accounts from Wilna, dated the 15th of July, contain the details of several decrees for punishing numerous Poles implicated in the insurrection of 1831, or in subsequent political movements. A letter from Vienna. dated the 31st ult., mentions that a secret society, coraposed of young men mostly from th e covered. Th e p art i es , h owever , preten d e d t h at t h e y were province of Gatlicia, had just been dis merely associated to cultivate and extend the Slavonic lan guage, but their real object was political. Amongst those arrested are two Austrian functionaries. Malta letters of the sth inst., and our Alexandra correspondence of the 27th ult., three days later than the advices by the Indian mail, reached Paris on Wed nesday. The Bombay mail, of the Ist of June, by the Suez route, had not yet arrived at Malta. All was quiet at Beyrout. Admiral Kosamel, with the French squadron from Tunis; had arrived in the Levant. The Papin, French steamer, touched at Malta on the 3d, with despatches from Alexandria to the French Go vernment. All its ships of war had arrived at. Malta, from Naples. The British squadron in the East is now increased to nine ships of war, three frigates, five sloops, three brigs, one cutter, and five steamers—a total of twenty-six pendants.

The following are the names of the prisoners sent by the first diligences —Count de Montholon, Marquis de Montauban, Lieut.- Colonel Laborde, Colonel Parquin, Mesonan of the Staff, Desjardins, Lambert, Corsy, Galvany, Aladenize of the 421 Bataille, Marquis Ornano, Count de Persigny, and d'Alembert.

Hitherto, however, all search for them has been unavailing.

(THIS DAY ) ( Before Mr. Coliunissiimer LAW ) ACCOMMODATION DILLS V. PATENT PINS. Mr. Thompson, who described himself as a general ealer, applied upon his petition to be discharged. The ii,sidvent, who was unopposed, ascribed his insolvency to the acceptance of bills for a person named Shuttleworth, who involved himself in d.fficulties by endeavouring to earn into effect a patent that had been ot.tained for making pins, the heads of which were to be formed out of the same piece of wire as the pin, thereby saving the trouble and inconvenience of fixing on the heads. The insolvent said he had always supposed Mr. Shuttleworth to be a man of property, and under that supposition he had accepted hills for him to the extent of 6001. Mr. WOODROFFE said he was not employed in the case, but he could state of his own knowledge, that Mr. Shuttle worth, who had lived in the county of Leicester, was con sidered a person of great wealth. He had entered, how ever, unfortunately for himself, into various speculations, which proving unsuceestful he suddt.nly, to the surprise of everybody, became a bankrupt. Shortly afterwards he died of a broken heart, and his wife, unable to bear up against her accumulated misfortunes, soon followed him to the FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENC ARRIVALS. ok' Don Jose Marco del Ponto, at Hathaway's Hotel, Bothe street, from Cheltenham ; J.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—Every second man you meet is surprised to see you, because there's not a soul in town ; and then he wishes you good by, say ing that he is going to shoot grouse. So is it, and so has it been for the last three weeks, and yet hos is it that the Opera is crammed aurium tenus every night ? For the last three nights the crowd has been intolerable, but the grand conundrum remains to be solved as to where all the people can corns from. Every body agrees that there's not a soul in town, and yet we ai e crushed night after night hi this horrible way. Last night again the house was densely crowded, and yet the house looked like a peopled desert. If we might be so bold as to hazard a con jecture, we should not hesitate at once to give a decided opinion that the great majority of last night's audience must have migrated from the unexplored regions east of Temple bar, or from some other terra incognita which has not yet been discovered by the geographical savants of Mayfair. When Persiani first made her appearance a man in the pit, the proprietor of an exaggerated embroidered but dirty shirt, asked us if we could tell hint who she was? Another of these Eastern magi, when asked who Colletti was, re plied that his name was Rubbini. It is really abominable that these sort of persons should be allowed to infest the pit of the Opera House. Frock.coats. shirts of every hue in the rainbow (save and except white), and morning trousers, are not fit costume to appear in the evening before ladies and Royalty. We hope that some attenti .n will be paid to these matters next season, and that some bar rier will be raised up to prevent the influx of unwashed and whiskered foreigners who have of late infested and infected the Italian Opera House. It was Colletti's be. nefit last night, and great things were promised—the Lu. cia di Lammermoor, an act of Torquato Tasso, the last scene of Anna Bolena, with a pas de deux by Cerito and Guerra, and the Toreador ballet. Thursday afternoon the three children of Mr. Seaward were removed from the residence of the under taker, in Cullum -street, Fenehurch-street, in a hearse and pa , r, followed by a mourning coach, in which was the afflicted father and three other gentlemen. On the arrival of the melancholy procession at the Bridewell precinct, the service was read in a very impre sive menner by the Rev. Mr. Munro; the Minister, who is out of town. All three were interred in one grave. Nearly every person present shed tears, and the truly melancholy spectacle will not soon be effaced from the memory of those who witnessed it. Mr. Seaward was very much affected, and his lady is still in a very distressing state in consequence of her loss. DE ATE'S BY DROWNlNG.—Yesterday an in quest was held before Mr. Wakley, M. P., coroner, and a re,pcetable jury, at the Black Dog Bedtont, on the b .dy of Tunlick, a fine boy, seven years of age, who was drowned in the private river of his Grace the Duke of Northumberland, on Sunday last. Stephen Miles deposed that on Sunday afternoon he met the mother of the dec,:ased in a distressed state of mind, who told him that two chil dren had just informed her that the deceased was struggling in the water, and she begged him to go and rescue him. He accordingly Instantly accompanied the mother, and a sister who was with her, to the spot, where, on arriving they found another sister, about twenty years of age, who had reached the spot before t hem, and courageously waded into the water up to her neck, and was trying to get the deceased out. The body was then recovered, but life was found to be quite extinct. Verdict, 't Accidentally drowned while bathing." —Another inqacst was also held before Mr. Wakley, at Hanwell, on view of the body of Wm. Brown, aged 26 years, who was found drowned in the Grand Junction Canal, near Mr, Tramper's farm, in that parish, on Tues day last. From the evidence of the witnesses it appeared that the deceased, who was a journeyman baker, was for merly in the employ of Mr. Marshall, a baker, at Heston, near Hounslow. Some time since he was charged at the Brentford Petty Sessions with basing robbed his master, and suffered imprisonment in consequence ; and, since his 'lteration, from having forfeited his character, he had been urrible to obtain employment, and been reduced to the greatest destitution, which is supposed to have preyed on his mind, and been the cause of his committing the rash act. Verdict, " Found drowned." Our Correspondent in Paris mentions the appoint ment of M. Magnin, Member of the Institute, as successor to the late M. iDaunou in the editorship of the Journal des Savans, and gives an account of some recent acquisi tions made by the Bibliotheque Royale. M. Hase has presented to that establishment an Arabian MS., of the 13th century, brought from Mascara, and containing the S,ssons of Hariri ; and M. Stanislas Julien—for the pur pose of conforming to the regulation which forbids the Conservators of the Royal Library to form private collec tions of a similar character to those entrusted to their care —has ceded to the Library, at the price which they cost him, the greater portion of his Chinese books and MSS. The Conservatory has likewise obtained possession of se veral of the manuscripts of the illustrious Kiaproth ; and bas been further authorized by 'the Minister of Public In struction. to purchase the collection of medals belonging to M. Borrell, of Smyrna. This collection consists of 730 pieces-33 in gold, 283 of silver, and 414 bronze— none of them hitherto in the collection of the Royal Li brary. From the same source we have learned the death, at the early age of thirty-three, of M. Eugene Roger, a young painter of great promise, reared in the school of M. Ingres, and already distinguished, amongst other works, by hia great picture of " Saint John Preaching in the Wilderness," exhibited at the Salun in the last season. Our letters, too, announce the decease of M. Jacotot, long and eminently known by his works on education, and the method of instruction invented by him. He was a Mem ber of the Chamber of Representatives during the Hun dred Days ; and compelled to seek refuge in Belgium from the vengeance of the second restoration, till the Revolu tion of 1830 restored him to his country. The whole of his long and honourable life, at home or in exile, was de voted to the subject of education; in connexion with which which he held, at different times, various important offices in the s veral public institutions of France.—Athenaeum. FROST, WILLIAMS, AND JONES.—CONVICT Suit' MANDARIN.—A report is "taking the round" of the journals stating that a mutiny had taken place on board the convict ship Mandarin, which conveys Frost, Williams, and Jones to their destination, and an attempt has been made to take possession of the vessel by the convicts. «e (Perth Cohstitutional) are happy to have it in our powte to give this the flattest contradiction. Before us we have a holograph letter, received here on the 24'h ult., and dated on board the Mandarin, the 11th of May, Simon's Bay, Cape of Good Elope, where she had arrived on the 7th, in sixty-nine days, from Falmouth. All on board were then well, peaceable and submissive. The three Chartist leaders are described as well and hearty, and much improved in appearance and spirits since they left their native strand. They ere extremely grateful for the kindness with which they are treated by the officers u Aar whose charge they arc, one of whom is pretty well known to many of our respectable citizens, Nine of the convicts are in irons, except one refractory su ject. Thr re arc 211 prisoners on board. They are encouraged in dancing, fencing, and all other exercises tending to promote health ; and the officers have esta blished a school, at which a number who scarcely knew their letters when they left England had learned to read the New Testament with advantage. The provisions a-c described as excellent in quality and sufficient in quantity. The three still say they would have preferred death to transportation, but we think this exceedingly doubtful were they put to the test. The destination of the ship is Ho bart Town, Van Dieman's Land, and was to sail again on the following day. Three ships of war, then in the bay, ;eere to Weigh anchor, and hold out their course for China at the same time. All have probably arrived at their ch s t, ination ere now. MOWERS.—At a field in Bromiley Pastures, near Belton, on Thursday last, there were 122 mowers at vvark, and nearly 200 haymakers following them. The grass hart been bought by difr-rent parties, and hence it was let by contract to persons who felt 4U interest ill Irv. I ing it immediately housed.
