Ai' hig life lie hna —1- - - The real cause of so many losses of late years, as compared with those of former ones, arises solely from the increase in the size of ships, with only the same fastening and appurte nances as were put into vessels of small tonnage. As the vessels increase in size, so should the appliances which give strength, &c., be increased in proportion, requisite in their construction, &c. But it is useless now going into detail, as the life of wooden vessels is measured. I will conclude this part of the subject by stating that the day has gone by for wooden vessels, and that the large size now in use puts fibrous material past its strength in their construction. To quote the expression of the most eminent shipbuilder in the United States of America, when he called upon me to get informa tion about the building or mode of construction of iron vessels, he admitted to me that the Americans were past their strength in wooden ships, and there would be no more large wooden steamers built in America. Literally, they were used np, and would be compelled to go into iron ships ; and with their present protection in their navigation laws, they could not fly the stripes and stars at any vessel's gaffeend, built out of the United States, until they had repealed those laws, and made free trade of their commerce ; and they would find the fix they were in by-and-by. As this gentleman said, they had all to learn yet about iron ships; then there was the labour and machinery, coupled with the duty of 10per cent, or, unmann factured iron, and 20 per cent, on the manufactured article. During the past week the equinoctial gales have tr gr ad e e at on t l h y in fe g t s te f r o s aet in with unusual severity.

On Friday Mr. George Chappel, who resides at Bretton West, went over to Wakefield for the purpose of attending the Friday's market; and after having made several pur chases, the day being far advanced, and having friends at Horbury, he determined upon going thither. He departed from thence for Bretton West about nine o'clock on the following evening, and had arrived near Lupset Hall, the seat of D. Gaskell, Esq., when he was accosted by a polite, respectably dressed female, about twenty years of age, who enquired if Mr. Chappel was going to Horbury, and, on his answering that he was, the woman said she too was going, and she would be glad if he would allow her to accompany him. While proceeding beneath the noble avenue of trees contiguous to Lupset Hall, the woman suddenly put her hand into his pocket, and drew out several shillings in silver. At the junction, a man, who appears to have been dogging their footsteps, came to the woman's assistance. Mr. Chappel was vainly endeavouring to regain possession of his money when the man knocked him with violence to the ground, and, after otherwise assaulting him, so as to render him totally insensible, they ransacked his pockets of their contents, after which the two decamped in an opposite direction. The night being dark Mr. Chappel could not recognise the features of either of the robbers, but from the inadequate description given the police are on the search. ACCIDENT ON THE LANCASHIRE AND Yesterday morning a fearful state of excitement was cawed in the neighbourhood of Titbebarn-street station, and the town generally, inconsequence of a report that a frightful accident had happened on the above line, and the rumour went to say that several lives had been lost. In most of such rumours there is always exaggeration, but in the present instance we are gratified to find that so far as the loss of life is concerned, there is no truth whatever in the report. An accident dii take place, but, most providentially, hardly any damage was sustained by the passengers; of course they were both shocked and greatly alarmed, but beyond this nothing serious resulted. The following are the facts, as well as we could collect them, from what may be considered an official quarter. The train coining in from the north, when arriving at Sandhill—just at the junction of the East Lancashire, and Lancashire, and Yorkshire lines—by some unexplained cause got off the rails, and ran some short distance. One of the carriages was partially turned over, and the next was somewhat raised on this—a third having the axle broken. As remarked, terrible con sternation followed, and every essistance was at once rendered by the officers and men at the adjoining station. On examination it was found that no one was hurt, and beyond the nervous shock, which must have effected the passengers, no other injury took place. The carriages are, of course, damaged. SHOCKING OCCURRENCE-FIVE MEN SMOTHERED IN A GIN VAT. THE NORTHERN TIMES.-LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. said Mr. Meagles. " Oh, of course, I mean in England. When they take their inventions into foreign countries that's quite different, and that's the reason why so many go there." But for the Emperor of France, Mr. Bessemer's discoveries would not have been brought out yet. Surely, the people of England will demand justice as soon as the House of Commons meets next session, as such diabolical conduct is a perfect disgrace to the Sovereign of England.

C. SHOCKING HOMICIDE NEAR BATH Jacob Francis, about thirty years of age, was on Saturday brought up before the magistrates of the county of Somer set, at their office at Bath, charged with having caused the death of a young man named Thomas Burridge, on the previous afternoon, at Charterhouse Hinton, a village about four miles from Bath. John Hales, labourer, of the parish of Wellow, deposed that he was yesterday at Charterhouse Hinton, working with several others in a field belonging to Mr. Joseph Willis, in thrashing out a rick with a threshing machine. Witness saw them several times during the morning throwing dirt at each other in ',play. About half-past one o'clock Bur ridge was standing by the gate of the field with a bucket of water in his hand, - waiting for the prisoner, who was approaching, to come no. There was a hedge between them, and as the prisoner passed through the gate Bur ridge threw the water from the bucket over him, and then ran away in a stooping attitude. The prisoner immediately pitched a barley fork (in instrument with three prongs, each upwards of a foot in length) which he had in his hand at Burridge, who was four or five var , 's from him, and the prongs entered his back just below, the shoulders. Witness was standing between them, but a little on one side, at the time, and Burridge turned his head round, and said to him, "John, do pull it n u t." Th e f or k was then stuck in his bask, the handle, which was mnrethan a yard long, extending in a horizontal position. Witness caught hold of the handle and pulled, but Burridge came back with the force, and witness then put his foot to his back whilst he pulled, and the fork came out, and the man fell forward, blood at the same time gushing out of his mouth. Francis did not attempt to render any assistance. The deceased slightly lifted his head, as though he wanted .to say something to witness, but he ran and told deceased's father. who was at work on the rick, what had happened, and also stopped the machine, by telling the engineer that murder had been committed. Witness afterwards saw the deceased lying in the road, and heard the other men say he was dead, but he was too frightened to go nearer to him. The deceased was about nineteen years of age, and was unmarried. There did not appear to have been any angry feeling between the men, but they had been " larking" together nearly the whole day, The prisoner wasgemanded to Shepton Mallet gaol for a week, to await the coroner's inquest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE LIVERPOOL. BEFORE MR. AIKEN. OUT ON SATURDAY, IN' ON MONDAY.—A young lady, of anything but prepossessing appearance, who gave her name as Elizabeth Green, and who locates in the neighbourhood of Berry-street, was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and using obscene language in that street, at a late hour on Saturday night. The Magistrate : What is knd'wn of this girl ? Mr. Parkinson : She is well known here, sir, and has been repeatedly punished ; she only came out of gaol on Saturday, having had fourteen days' im prisonment for drunkenness. The Magistrate : Then let her go again for a month. THE DRUNKARDS AND THE DISORDERLIES.—Yesterday there was more than the usual number of drunken and disorderly cases brought before the presiding magistrate, and, we regret to say, that the majority of the offen ders were females. It is usual, on such occasions, to inflict a small fine for the first offence, and increase it as the parties repeat it. This day a great number got off by promising that they would not offend again. This may have a good effect. BEFORE MR. SANDS. AN OLD HAND.—Mary M'Carthy, a well dressed young female, who had been several times before the court, was brought up on a charge of having picked the pocket of a Mrs. Edwards, in the shop of Mr. Tunstal, pawnbroker, of London-road. The parties were in the shop when the prisoner picked complainant's pocket of her purse and its contents, which were subsequently found on her. She was fully committed for trial. PREPARING FOR WINTER.—A young woman, named Bridget Doolan, well dressed, was brou , .'l, up by ScAife and Thompson,, dctcc'ives, on a chary of having stolen three now 'coats. The officers r .,,,)t the prisoner in v.itb the garments (frock coats) in her possession, and as she could not account for bow she had them, they arrested her. In reply to Mr. Black, who defended the prisoner, the officers said they had not got an owner, nor had they any report of such coats being stolen. Mr. Black contended that the woman should he discharged. If an owner could be found, the prisoner could be arrested again, but he contended that she had purchased the property and dealt in such articles. She was remanded. ACTIVITY OF AN OFFICER.—Betty Sheppard, Catherine Butler, and Margaret Troy, inhabitants of a bad house in Banistre-street, were charged by. Corstable Lynch 142, under the following circumstances :—Mr. Block defended. From the sta'ement of the officer, it a73peared that, about four o'clock in the morning, he received private information that a man had been robbed of a large sum of money, in the locality of Dale-street. He went to the house occupied by the prisoners, and, on listening for a moment, he heard the prisoners quarelling about" whack ing the money," (that is dividing it.) He called the assistance of another officer, and sent him to the back door, and then rushed in. He took three sovereigns out of the mouth of one of the prisoners, some more out of one of their hands, and altogether he got about £IO 7s 3d with them, and this was evidently a portion of the larger amount alluded to. In reply to Mr. Block, the witness said he had not the man who lost the money, but no doubt he would have him. He admitted having listened at the door, and that the result proved he was doing his duty. Mr. Bluck repudiated the conduct of any one listening at a door, where there was no robbery committed, and argued that the money belonged to the prisoners, and the only wonder was that they bad not more. He said, in the absence of any direct charge, and as there was not any report of a robbery preferred against them, the law authorised their discharge by the magistrates. Mr. Clough said if the prisoners were remanded to this day, he would be able to produce further evidence. Remanded accordingly. A CHILD KILLED BY ITS MOTHER SHOCKING CASE. —One of the most horrible cases that has taken place in Liverpool for some time past, the result of that abominable drunkenness, which is even worse in women than men, happened on Saturday night, in Anne-street, Park, and is another illustration of the dreadful effects of,drink on the female portion of society. Mary Anne Hughes, the wife of John Hughes, a blockmaker, residing at 25, Anne-street, Park, was brought before the police magistrates on a charge of having killed her female child, aged 4 months. The prisoner is 41 years of age, and was described by her husband as an awful drunkard, whilst the poor man himself has been a rigid teetotaller for years, and a very hard working person. The facts were these.—On Saturday evening the husband returned home from his work, and gave the wretched woman his wages. He then went out to his club, and returned about ten o'clock. ITe could not gain an entrance into the house, although he saw the key inside in the door, and this convinced him there was some one in the place. He went round to the back door, and after some time he got into the house, where a horriblo sight was presented to the poor man. His wretched wife was lying on her back on the floor, miserably drunk, and the child was found lying under her, with its head squeezed tightly between her legs, It was bleeding profusely from the nose and mouth, and was quite dead. He called for assistance, and after some time the woman became conscious, when she behaved in the most brutal manner, and swore she would knock her husband's brains out, as she had those of the child, and that she did not care a for any one. The police officer who had her in custody d, scribed her language as the most savage that could be imagined. She made several attempts to strike her husband, and swore she would murder him. The woman appeared to be in a state of delirium tremens, for she shook most violently from head to foot—not from nervousness, but evidently from the effects of drink. She was not able to speak a word. She was remanded to this day, in order to have the evidence of a surgeon. LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE RAILWAY TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sir,—There is an old adage, " punctuality is the soul of business," and, doubtless, a very cotreet one; and, if strictly carried out on every railway in the kingdom, would prove a great boon to the public. - Now, allow me to enquire, through the medium of your valuable and impartial journal, how it is that the last train which leaves the Tithebarn-street station on Sundays (marked down in the time list 9.10 p.m.) cannot be relied upon ? On most occasions, within the past two or three months, this particular train has been upwards of half an hour beyond its time—and, I may add, more than once, little short of an hour —in which assertion many who are in the habit of travelling by it will hear me out. Last evening, however, was an exception to what I have complained about—the train leaving at the very moment, consequently many, feeling they had ample time to spare, were left behind, with no other alternative than to bear the expense of a car, or endure the unpleasant inconvenience of walking to their respective homes. Aro contractors and - others travelling on this railway to understand, in future, that this last Sunday evening train from town will be despatched with the same degree of" punctuality ?" if so, it should be made known to the public by placards, or otherwise, as it is not very agreeable, at the approaching inclement season of the year, to be kept waiting upon a cold and draughty platform, in the covering of which there is scarcely a whole pane of glass.

THIRD DAY'S PROCEEDINGS VERSAILLES. Under this bead, the Court Journal says :—The sudden determination expressed by the Emperor to remain absent from Paris until the first week in December has given rise to much gossipping rumour, which, not having been contradicted, is taking root in the public mind• The reason for the measure, accredited by the sensible portion of the community, is that, in consequence of the still delicate health of the Empress, it would be wise to avoid the Tuileries until after the vapours which arise from the Seine in the month of November shall have been dispelled by the first frosts. It is certain that Versailles has struck the fancy of the Empress, who from the very first has expressed a repugnance to inhabiting the Tuil eries, and whose aversion to the place has increased to a greater degree than ever since the birth of the Prince Imperial. The publicity of the gardens of the palace, the impossibility of enjoying private exercise with the nurse, is said, in a great measure, to cause this fancy for a winter establishment at Versailles. Should the prospect be realised, the whole of the buildings round the palace would be restored to their former uses. The foreign ambassadors would have their allotted hotels, i and the different ministeres their bureaux—in short, the dead city would be restored to life again. The plan forms part of the system which has long occupied the mind of the Emperor, and is connected with his scheme of the future decentralisation of France. Ever since his Majesty's accession to the throne, he has entertained the idea of withdrawing from Paris some portion of the exclusive power and influence that city has always en joyed, with the intention of reducing it to the part of a leader o the fine arts, literature and science, and depriv ing it of the political position it has held so long, and which it is thought to have abused so often. The sen sation caused by such a brusque and sudden change as the transfer of the authorities to Versailles, would mark an epoch in the history of the country. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A YOUTH FR°l EXPERIMENTALHANGING• On Saturday evening a lengthened enquiry took PI,: the York Arms tavern, Curzon street, Mayfair, To. before Mr. Longhorn, the coroner, and a respectable J? 0: on view of the body of James William Birt, aged 18, 1 "; death was occasioned by the dangerous practice of f'lcl 3B `_ mental hanging, under the following melancholy circa; stances :—CharlesWoodhonse deposed that he was in rhos vice of Mrs. Sutton, of 21, Halfmoon street, Piccsdillf• 35 , deceased was page in the family.
