TER LATI °ALM. --SHIRLDS, TIIIBDAY Arnim-
sooa.—Tbe pie has eatinely abated, sad the sea, which
was so violent yesterday, is as calla as a lake to-day. Salvors
are about the wrecked steareahip Stanley, saving • good
few stores sod some cargo. This morning, at half-past five,
the bodies of Mien Margaret Duncan, the stewardess, Mir
Jamisou, Mims Middleton, Miss Roberts, sad Miss Gordo°,
passengers, who were lost aboard the Staaley, was seat
from here by railway to Aberdeen, to be interred. A
committee at Demouth will pay the cart of transit. Noce
dthe bodies the male wronger; or the throe seamen
who were lost with these vessels have been found. In fact
no bodies have been picked up sines Sunday, and as the
wind is off shore W.N. W., it is to be ford that there
will be some difficulty in rem:Guidon them, Many
et the relatives of the poor fellows are up here, and it

feeling of emismiseration prevails in the district, sod an

Tit/ SCRIM TURNPIEZEi.—We are informed that
during the pest week the committee for the abolition of the
Garrey-side tunipikes, and the supporter' of the present
system of levying tolls in metropolitan streets, have been
very soiree as to the Bernsoodaey trust roads. These roads
are situate in the parishes of Bermondsey, Botherbithe,
Deeded, and Camberwell, and barricade by about thirty
gates eel side-ben that part of the metropolis Wag be-
Swoon the Old Kent-road and the river. Deputetioes from
ratepayers and the acting local committee, Meson. Perks,
Cowan, Naylor, and Gaywocd, with their parliameetary
Kent, Mr. &added, have pressed epos the veswee
the views and arguments for removal; and the rie
snit is, that three out of the four parishes
(Bermondsey, Rotherhithe, and Camberwell) have de-
eded for abolitioe, while Deptford vestry, by a ma-
jority of two, has gone to the side of the trust.
A meting then took place of the trustee. who, instead of
ageing according to the decision of the majority of the Una-
rmed perishes, resolved to refer the question of abolition to
the decision of Sir George Grey. Now Sir George Grey
wrote on the 4th of August to these very trustees, imme-
diately the late public "Turnpike Continuation Act"
pined, telling such parties that by such public act the
" term of the load act had been limited to the Ist of No-
vember, 1865, end so lather, unless parliament shall in the
meantime otherwise provide," and requesting the trustee'
to meet early on the subject ; the intention being that the
trustees might have ample time to so to parliament for a
private bill net session, when in the ordinary course of
parlianieotary proosediop the awe would undergo this scru-
tiny of a committee. The course, therefore, adopted by the
busters is otie which it out sesreely be anticipated
would be agreeable to the Secretary of Sate as throwing
upon his department an onus the trustees ought to take
upon themselves, and as there are 1,085 trusts m England
and Wales,too much would be thrown upon the Home Secre-
tary and his officers. It is alleged, however, by the true.
toss that there is a debt outstanding on these med., but as
to which the other parties reply that the accounts for some
years put ought to be investigated and reported upon by a
public accountant ; but node any enumerates, debt or oe
debt, the Bermondsey gates being maintained in metropo-
litan parishes, and so very near London-bridge, the terms
of the late act putting an cud to the existence of the
Berry turnpikes on and after Nov. 1, 1865, unless
parliament itself determined otherwise. should be
mead up to in its soirit, and no evasios of
the expressed intention of the legislature permitted. In
two recent mass the " Great Doer-road " and the
" Archway, Kentish•town-road," the HMSO of Commons
itself refused two applicatines for reamed terms, though
debts were alleged to be existing is each case of near
30,000/. It in true that in these oases the roads were joint-
desk speculations, bat the principle is just the same. The
Let Bermondsey Act was for 21 years only, and those who
risked their mosey may be fairly assumed to have doth so
ea the chance of bele( paid within that time; they, it is
'need, cannot pretend to any bargain between parliament
and themselves, nor as between the public and themselves,
that turnpikes in metropolitan streets should be kept
up as long as a debt could be shown. If that were
allowed, the temptation would be so strong to keep up
a awe of indebtedness, that such obstructions would never
begot rid of.
