THE LOSS OF THE JOSEPHINE WILLIS The wreck, which lies in l2f fathoms of water, was likely to be broken up by the boisterous weather, a gale from the S.W. having prevailed for 24 hours. Her topmasts. which were just above water., have disappeared; and the divers who went down on Wed nesday report that very little of the cargo yin.' be saved. She lies right in the fairway of the Channel, and the Trinity Corporation have directed a " wreck 'bu to be placed over her. The Mangerton steamer, which bad been seized at Ramsgate tinder a warrant troth the Court of Admiralty. for the loss of the Josephine :Willis, has ,r n rele tied, bail having been put In. I !Mr. George Andrews, a young fa;mer, a - native of Trenance, St Ausletta, Cornwall, a chief cabin passenger, one of the seven who were taken off the topmast head some hours after the collision, Turn shes some thrilling details of the catastrophe. In about ten minutes after the ship had been struck, she turned over on her beam ends on the port side, and the passengers clung to the riggin z. He had taken charge of a Miss Logan, a young lady ei_lliteen years of age, who, on the coil sion occurring, rushed out of her cabin, attired only in her night-dress. He took ‘ff his great coat, and put it round her, and when the ship turned ovtr he caught her round the waist, and got into the mizen rigging; and a passenger named Golding. who had a little child in his arms, was near him. In this posi ion hey remained upwards of an hour—the i assengers who kept clinging to the rigging shouting to the steamer to save them. About a (limner of an hour after the ship had gone over, Captain Canny, who was on the side of the wreck, was swept overboard by a sea which broke on the ship, and disappeared. Perceiving that she was sinking, he proposed to Golding to crawl along the mizen-mast, as she yeas lin going down wi . uld be likely to right. The unfortunate fellow replied that he thought it wood be bet er to remain where hs was. Mr. Andrewg, with Miss Logan Li his arms, then made an effort to get along the mast. The poor girl, boa - ever, if not dead, was completely exhausted; and in getting her up the mast, he was several Imes nearly overcome himself. On reaching tee crosstrees a sea caught them both, took the girl from his arm, and she was swept away. He 1 elieved, however, that she had before expired. The sea even caused him to lose his hold, and it was only through a desperate effort that he succeeded in regaining his grasp. He saw poor Golding, and the child he was so anxious to save, swept into the deep. The hull of the ship then gradually went down, and he saw some 40 or 50 men, women, and children struggling in the waves screaming for aid. Their cries were heard a tew minutes, and all was over. He then made his way up to the mizenmast head, and a little boy, named Sutton (whose parents and brother and sister perished), a passenger, and the chief steward, managed to hold on to the rigging of the yard near him, Three others got up to the main to,,mast bend, and one poor fellow lolv his life in endeavouring to pass along the stay between the two masts. The water gradually rose up to their legs. They could see the steamer, and kept shout ing for help. About half-past 11 o'clock, their cries were heard by a Deal lugger, which had been sent in the direction of the wreck, and, benumbed and almost half dead, they were taken off by the boatman Pearson, whose conduct Is spoken of in commendable terms. About ten minutes bcfpre they were rescued a big passed them within 150 yards; she, however, took no notice of their shouts, and went on. Mr. Andrews expresses his belief that most of the passengers could have) been saved by the ship's boats and the steamer, had they lain by. With the exception of the captain and the two stewards, he did not see a soul of the crew a few minu es after the collision took place. The ship was lying on her beam-ends more than an hour, with the pass ngere clinging to the rigging, before she went down, and there was ample time for the li.e.boat to have taken the whole of them off the wreck in two or three journeys to the steamer, had they stood by. He was confident that the steamer did not remain by the ship more than ten minutes. Mr. Andrews speaks highly of the noble courage displayed by Captain Canney. _ _ It has been stated that the loss of human life occasioned by this catastrophe numbers seventy souls, viz., twenty cabin passengers, thirty-six steerage passengers, and fourteen of the crew. Those saved are tbirty.five in number, thus constituted :-- chief•cabin Passengers—Mr. Henry Ray and Mrs Ray and Mr. George Andrews. Second. cabin Pass ngers—Charles C. Felming and William Ripley. Stee age FaSsengers—George Horner. William Ford, G. Sutton, Wm. Wallis, James Scott, Catherine May, Walter Wright, and David Garsides. Crew—Mr. K. Clayton, chief officer; John H.

MCKINNOR AND SMITH.— This was an action brought by a German tailor, against Messrs. McKinnor and Smith, merchant tailors, to recover a small amount which he claimed for wages due, and also for the value of some patterns. Mr. Grocott appeared for the defence. The plaintiff was examined through an interpreter, although he spoke a little English, and appeared to understand it very well when spoken to him. He alleged that Messrs. McKinnor and Smith, in whose employment he was, ordered him to go to Man chester for some patterns, which he did, that he paid for the patterns, which he stated were still in the possession of defendants, and he claimed a balance of wages from Wednesday to Saturday. The defendants denied having ordered the plaintiff to purchase any patterns, or that any patterns of his were, to their knowledge, in their possession, but offered to give up any which he could show to be his, in their establishment. With regard to the wages, it appeared that the defendants found that four coats had been stolen from their house, and having some suspicion of the plaintiff, had him arrested on:a Thursday morning, when he came to work. On being searched, a waistcoat, the property of defendants, was found on his person. He was tried at the Quarter Sessions, over which the judge of the County Court presided, but was acquitted for want of evidence. The defendants had paid into court an amount of wages which they admitted was due. His Honour declared this to be one of the most impudent actions he had ever tried, and that the plaintiff was an unfaithful servant and a dishonest mare He was tried on a charge of felony before a jury-composed partly of his own countrymen, and was acquitted, because the witnesses called . were of such a dishonest character that the judge directed the jury rather to acquit the prisoner than to attach the same amount of testimony to the evidence of dishonest witnesses as to that of credible person = . :The indictment against the plaintiff did not contain any count for receiving pro perty knowing it to he !stolen, and, therefore, as there appeared reason to believe that the actual stealing of the waiscoat was committed by one of the plaintiff's corn. panions, it was necessary to acquit him. His Honour stated those facts in order to explain why the plaintiff should not be considered entitled to wages, although the jury, under his direction, had considered it necessary in accordance with the principles of the English law .to acquit the plaintiff. He repeated the opinion he had expressed of the plaintiff's conductiand the character of that action, and gave a verdict for the defendants.; A great number of cases were heard during the day, but were principally undefended actions for small sums and not pessessing any features of public interest. The Czar has informed the Pope, by an autograph letter, that he has restored four Roman Catholic bishop rics in Poland, and created six others in Russia. Her Majesty has been pleased to confer a baronetcy upon General Sir J. Burgoyne, in consideration of his long and faithful services. Advices from Constantinople state that the unlooked for change from war to peace is expected to produce some temporary embarrassment, as great losses will accrue to houses that are deeply engaged in the pro vision trade in the expectation of the energetic resump tion of hostilities. TRADE IN CONTRABAND Or WAR.--HAMBURG, FEB. 3. —ln less than a week we have received no less than eleven cargoes of sulphur, three of saltpetre, and two of lead, and I regret to add that some of them were brought in British vessels. Had Lord Clarendon sent three or four ships of war to the mouth of the Elbe they might bare been seized, or, at all events, detained. The above sixteen cargoes are now halfway on their road to Russia. RAILWAY COMPETITION ANT) GREAT REDUCTION OP FARES.—Announcements have been made on the part of the London and North Western, the Midland, and the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Com panies, from which it appears that they have entered into a strong competition with the Great Northern Railway Company for the conveyance of passengers to and from those towns to which the trains of rival companies run. Passengers are now taken from the Euston Station to Peterborough, a distance of 110 miles by this route, for 3 first class, and 2s second class, instead of 13s and 10s, as previo:sly, being at the rate of less than a farthing per mile for second-class passengers. To Doncaster passengers are now taken by two fast trains daily, from the Euston Station, for 6s and 3s, being at the rate of one-fifth of a penny per mile. To a number of other important towns, similarly circumstanced, reductions have also taken place in the fares by certain fast trains. The Great Northern Railway Company have not yet announced any reduction in their fares for passengers to these towns. JOINT - ETOCKUOMPANIES, AND PARTNERSHIP BILLS.—At the meting of the Society for Amendment of the Law, held on Monday evening, the subject of registration of joint stock companies was one of the appointed topics under discussion. It was suggested, however, that as the govean,lent had brought forward bills bearing on this subject, the debate should be postponed. Lord Brougham (who was in the chair) said he approved of the course suggested ; he had just glanced at the government bills, and, as far as he could see, they met his entire approval. IRON IN NOVA Archibold, an extensive landed proprietor of Nova Scotia, having discovered a valuable iron mine on one of his estates in that country, has conceived the idea of appropriating its proceeds to the purposes of the 'War Departm nt. A 6--pounder gun has been cast from a sample of the metal, and this he has conveyed to England. The gun has gone through a thorough process of trial at the proof.butt at Woolwieh, and stood some good tests well, Mr. Archibold has con sequently laid a proposal before the commanding officer of the Royal Gun-factory Department at Woolwich Arsenal, to enable him to work his mine under a contract to supply the British government alone. LIVERPOOL ROYAL INSTITUTION The annual meeting of the proprietors of the royal institution was held in the institution, Collegiate-street, at one o'clock yesterday, Joseph Dickinson, Esq., M.D., presi dent, in the chair, The President read the following ADDRESS "Stour committee, in making their report of the proceed ings of the past year have, they conceive, reason to indulge the hope that they have not altogther failed in accomplish ing the expectations of the founders of this noble institution. 2They have zealously endeavoured ",to diffuse a more general taste for scientific and literary subjects ; to promote in tne most efficacious manner those studies and occupations which confer honour on the human character, and add no less to the dignity than to the rational pleasures of life ;" and they trust that they may appeal with confidence to the pro prietors for support, in order that their efforts may not be inefficient or unproductive in results of the highest import ance to (the well-being( of this great community, and of science at large. The Royal Institution has to deplore the loss by death of two of its most gifted friends, and constant and zealous sup porters. The Rev. Archdeacon Brooks was a member of the com mittee since the first meeting, which was held at the Liver pool Arms Inn, in 1814, for the purpose of establishing " An institution for the promotion of science, &c." and continued until death to take the de e pest i n t eres t i n it s prosperity, and to aid it by his judicious counsels. Mr. J. B. Yates was an active member of the committee for twenty.eight years. Ever desirous of advancing science and literature, and possessed of attainments of the highest order, he unceasingly devoted these to the interests of the Royal Institution. The less of two such members cannot be over-estimated, and should stimulate those that remain to renewed exertions in behalf of our noble institution. THE SCHOOL The number of pupils is much the same as at the last report. _ _ The school has more than maintained its reputation for classical and mathematical attainments, in the excellent degree attained by Mr. IV. Rees, of St. `John's College Cambridge, who formerly gained the Canning Scholarship at the Royal Institution School, and received his entire edu cation here. Mr. Rees obtained the best double honours of his year, being Eighth Wrangler, Sixth in the First Class of the Classical Tripos and Chancellor's Medallist. Since then, towards the close of the past year (1855), he has gained the Crosse University Scholarship at Cambridge, and the Hulsean Prize Es , ay. He has also obtained a divinity studentship at his own college, where, we have every reason to infer, he will be elected to a fellowship at the first vacancy. Mr. John Parry, Iliff scholar of the school, has been elected also, during the past year, to the first scholarship of his own college, Corpus Christi, Cambridge. There were several scholarships to be tried for, and a large number of candidates, amongst whom Mr. Parry was first, both in classics and mathematics. The vacant Canning. scholarship was adjudged, after exa mination, to Mr. T. P. G. Pope. The examiners particu larly requested that the name of Mr. J. W. Dover, son of the late Rev. G. Dover, of this town, should be mentioned with honour, as he had greatly distinguished himself in the mathematical part of the examination. The Rev, H. Glynn, fellow of St. Peter's College, Cam bridge, has succeeded Mr. Ptiokle in the charge of the boarding-house in Colquitt-street. Mr. Glynn, who was educated at the Royal Institution, and took high honours at the University of Cambridge, has commenced his duties with every prospect of the most perfect success in his under taking, YOlir committee cannot refrain from expressing their satisfaction in the assurance that increasing attention is paid every half year to the modern languages—a branch of education of the highest importance in our community. It would be unjust to Mr. IV. T. Xerry, the drawing master of the institution, if your committee passed over without notice his great and successful exertions to extend the knowledge and cultivation of this useful and delightful science. The committee of the Elmes Testimonial Fund have decided on founding two scholarships, to be called the "Elmes Scholarship," for architectural students, or students of the One arts, &c., available, under certain conditions, for two years each, to pupils of the Royal, the Collegiate, or the Mechanics' Institutions. In furtherance of the objects for which the Royal Insti tution was founded, your committee have gladly given every facility for the formation of two museums in connection with the institution. 1. A Museum for the Formation and Exhibition of Substances used in Medicine, and Illustrative of the Sciences of Chemistry and Botany, especially as these bear on Pharmacy. This museum is the property of the Chemists' Association, to whom accommodation has been given in the building, and who have, at very considerable expense and labour, formed a very valuable collection of specimens, deposited in suitable cases. It is unnecessary to dwell on the vast importance to the scientific man of having a well-selected and authentic museum of this description, by aid of which he can com pare the various sabitances used in pharmacy and chemist' y, and discriminate their respective different quali ties and value. The museum already contains above 800 specimens, many of great value; and it promises ere long to be a most interesting as well as beneficial branch of the institution. 2. THE MUSEUM OF APPLIED SCIENCE, the object of which is to present at once to the eye every illustration which can be procured of the natural history of those plants, animals, and minerals which afford products useful to man. The vegetable substances of commerce constitute by far the largest portion of our home acid foreign trade ; next, the mineral, and lastly the animal subtance. It is, however, proposed to commence only with the vegetable substances, following out almost exactly the plan which has afforded so much satisfaction and instruction at the Royal Kew Gardens. When this branch of the Liverpool Museum has made progress, it is proposed to commence with the animal department upon the same illustrative plan, after the model of the admirable collection formed by the Society of Arts under the name of " the Trade Museum—Animal Department ;" and finally " the Mineral Section," which will represent on a small scale " the Museum of practical Geology and Mineralogy " in Jermyn-street, London. The building and cases are now in an active state of preparation, and wl/1 soon be ready for the reception of specimens, and open for inspection. From the peculiar advantages presented by the mercan tile position of Liverpool they will doubtless be speedily filled with objects of great interest mid importance ; and when the plan is fully carried out, there will be in Liver pool an illustrative museum calculated not merely to aid greatly in the education of our youth, and to uphold and extend the scientific and intellectual reputation of Liver pool, but also to afford a valuable museum of reference to commercial men, and thus aid essentially in promoting the prosperity of the towu. tour committee beg here to express their deep sense of obligation to Mr. T. C. Archer, who has so greatly aided them in the formation and direction of this branch of the museum. The collection of British insects found near Liverpool, made by the Rev. H. H. Higgins, has been increased dnring the year by a valuable and complete series of diurnal lipidoptera, presented by Mr. C. S. Gregson. The series of diptera have been improved by many inte resting additions made by the Rev. H. H. Higgins. The family gryphid(e may be regarded as nearly complete, and the hymeroptera have been enriched by several rare species of bees taken on the sea coast. A. short series of neuroptera is in progress. The re-arrangement of shells, by the Rev. H. H. Rig gins, is now nearly completed. The list of donors to the museum will be given else where ; but: the rare and valuable specimens of Mr. .'Andrews call for especial notice, as do those of Mr. Consul Hutchinson. On the motion of Afr. Raffles, seconded by Mr. E. Arnaud, the thanks of the meeting were unanimously Toted to the president for his address, and it was referred to the commit tee for publication. Mr. A. North, i❑ the absence of the treasurer, read the statement of accounts, from which it appeared that the balance to be carried over this year, after paying all expenses, was £92 7s 6d. On the motion of Mr. Arnaud, (who stated that the large receipts of the institution last year were in a great measure due to the payment of arrears), seconded by Mr. Watson, the accounts were unanimously passed, On the motion of Mr. H. Banner, seconded by Mr. North, thanks were unanimously voted to the donors of the institution during the past year. Mr. W. Rathhone, in moving the thanks of the meeting to the committee and officers of the institution, took the opportunity, while congratulating the proprietors on the prosperity of the institution, to regret that the Council had not fulfilled the agreement once pending between them, The motion was unanimously passed. On the motion of Mr, James Aiken, seconded by Mr. Bineer;the:thanks of the meeting were voted by acclamation to the chairman for his conduct in the chair. Mr. James Aiken, Mr. A. North, Mr. H. Banner, Rev. Dr. Raffles, and Mr. J. A Tinne were re-elected ; and Mr. W. Ilathhone elected on the committee, in the room of Mr. S. B. Moore, M.p.. one of the outgoing members. The meeting then separated. Count Buol, the Austrian lenhpotentiary, is expected to arrive in Paris on Friday next. A decree in the Moniteur promulgates a convention of extradition hPtween France and Austria. General Della Marmora left Paris on Thursday, for the Crimea, to resume the command of the Sardinian army. A letter from Xertch, dated Jan. 20, says, that all apprehension of an attack on the part of the Russians had vanished. A part;al modification of the Spanish ministry has taken place. M. Bre. retires from the Ministry of Finances, and is snccerded by M. Francisco Santa. Crjz. The Paris correspondent of the Times states, that so con fident are the Ru , sians of peace that many who, had hitherto been residing in Brussels had already arrived in Paris. LAWRENCE HEYWORTrt, Esa., opt RAILWAX REFORM TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIME.S Sir,—l have not the report of Mr. Heyworth's speech at the meeting on the subject of railway reform before me; and I must, therefore, assume that he is correct in stating.tin: his reply to my last letter, that he did not make any observation to the effect that he thought the legislature ought not to permit competing lines, suc h as the two from this place to Southport. Whether he did so or not, however, is not of much consequence, a s the whole tenor of his argument, both at the meeting and in his communication to you, plainly point in that direction• Farther than this I do not perceive that I am called upon to make any very lengthened remarks on his letter, since he has rather endeavoured to overpower me by invective, than convince me by sound reasoning,--a course in which, as I only endeavour to eliminate the truth for the benefit of shareholders as well as the public, I must b e g to decline to follow him. In saying, as Mr. Heyworth does, that the Lancaster and Carlisle Company owe their present favourable condition to non-extension, I apprehend he is quite as correct as he is the reverse when he says it is also owing to an absence of competition. It is true that as regards the traffic pro per to the line, so to speak, which is that between the two towns, there is no competition, but without extrar neous aid this traffic would never have sufficed to call so expensive a line into existence at all ; and, therefore, when we look at its means o f sus t enance we f i nd that it IS actually exposed to no small amount of rivalry. A large amount of this sustenance is derived from the passenger and goods traffic from Liverpool and London to Scotland, at both of which places it comes into contact, indirectly, with numerous competitors for the traffic which supports it, in the shape of the different steam-ship companies and the lines to the north on the east coast, so that it is not correct to assume that the Lancaster and Carlisle Com pany are prosperous, ou account of their not being exposed to competition. The true causes of their prosperity are. that the directors (although a body of country gentlemen) have conducted their affairs in a plain and businesslike manner, closed their capital account on the completion of the line, have avoided litigation and parliamentary ex penses, and above all, have strictly adhered to the princi ple of non-extension and non-amalgamation ; and I appeal even to Mr. Heyworth himself to say whether, had the directors of any of the great lines whioh are now so ruin ously depreciated in value followed a similar sound and sensible system of management, their properties would be in the deplorable position they are now in ? I cannot, however, avoid again saying that Mr. Hey worth still violates the principles of free trade when he urges that it is .unprincipled to construct new and com peting lines, because the powers of those already le existence are not exhausted. The Bank of England would be quite capable of conducting the whole commercial business cf the country, yet it is exposed to struggle with innumerable competitors ; nor would it be beyond the power of the Electric Telegraph Company to transmit all our telegraphic despatches, yet the legislature has mac- Honed many and successful rivals? Nor is there any reason to be alarmed at the abstrac— tion, as Mr. Hey worth terms it, of the large amount of capital that would be required in the construction or competing lines of railway. Capital will always flow into those channels that appear to offer it the fairest promise of profitable investment, and, therefore, so far from its being abstracted in such a case, it is legitimately employed as it would be in any other manner, either in the forma tion of steamships, banks, telegraphs, or such adventures. And in such eases I:doubt not but that competition would be attended with its usual beneficial results, for I have yet to learn that railway business is so entirely different in its nature from all other business, that the law of wholesome competition conducted on business-like principles, will not produce the same good with regard to it as it does in all others. But I strenuously protest against Mr. Hey worth's assuming, that because I urged the desirability of competition in all instances, that, therefore, I wished for an 'inprincipled competition. I expressly stated that my opinion was in favour of com peting lines, conducted on sound and business-like principles, and those principles I need hardly state are, And can only be, those of the strictest honour and integrity. His continuance of my illustration of the rival drapers is unfortunate, for where a draper o p ens a second shop in the same street, it cannot be said that he is encountering competition, for there can be no competition where there 4 are no competitors. and here, as there would be no com petitors, there could be no competition. And where Jones sets up in the same :street as Robinson and endeavours to take away his custom by underselling him, it cannot be considered as a wholesome competition conducted in a business-like manner, but rather, as reckless folly ; but, if Jones sees an opening in the same street offering fair encouragement, either through the extravagance or carelessness of Robinson in conducting his business, or his ignorance of it, (and is not this the ease. with the depreciated railways ?) he at once commences for himself without at all troubling himself to inquire whether Robinson's powers for supplying the neighbour hood were exhausted or not, whilst no one woul t think of accusing him of being unprincipled for doing so. In conclusion, I will briefly allude to Mr. Heyworth's sneer at myself and those like me who put forth their contributions anonymously. Were I commenting upon Mr. Heyworth's veracity or honour, or upon any subject jersonal between us, then h e wou ld undoubtedly be fully ustified in calling upon me to lay aside my reserve, and which I would then promptly do. But, when I are arguing upon a matter on account of its great public , importance, and endeavouring to promote the benefit or the community at large, as wed as of those moreldirectly interested, it is quite competent to me to appear un Icr nom-deluerre or not, as may suit my pleasure, since their being written anonymously, can in no way affect either the force of my arguments or the justice of my conclusions. And when I remember that the public opinion of the freest and greatest nations of the world is so ably expounded by an anonymous, but unimpeachable press, I am well content sir, to be numbered amongst its ranks.-- 1 am, sir, yours, &c., QUASIMODO- Liverpool, Feb. 6, 1856. NARROW ESCAPE OP TEE RECJRDER OF LorpoN.—On Wednesday, in the New Court, a man named George Tillon, was convicted of burglary, and untenced by the Recorder to six years' penal servitude. The fellow, on hearing the sentence, drew from big pocket a large lump of coal, and threw it, with the greatest force and preci sion, at the head of the learned gentleman. Fortunately the Recorder escaped the intended injury. The prisoners are for the future to be searched before being placed in the dock, FOUR LIVES SAVED BY THE FIRE ESCAPE.-011 Wed nesday morning, shortly after five o'clock, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Yates, boot and shoe-maker, No- 250, Whitechapel-road, London. A policeman sprang his rattle, and after some time he succeeded in making the residents, who were asleep in their beds, sensible of their impending danger. The proprietor of the building, with his wife and two children, made for one of the upper windows, where they cried out for assistance. At that. moment, Samuel Wood, the conductor, arrived with the• Royal Society's fire-escape, and happily succeeded im bringing down in safety the four occupants. The firemen,. after some time, succeeded in getting the flames subdued, but not until a great quantity of leather was destroyedi. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE LIVERPOOL. FEBRtjALY ii.
