TILE AMAZON.—At the Court of Common Council,
yesterday, Mr. Deputy Lott, having obtained the unanimous
consent of the court to bang forward a motion in aid of the
sufferers by the awful crlamity which befel the Amazon,
proposed that a vote of 2001. be granted from the corpora-
tion towards their relief. lie described the event as the
most dreadful he had ever heard of, distancing to an im-
measurable extent the late occurrences is France, and
every other frightful catastrophe which had come to the
knowledge of the public. (Hear, hear.) It was quite
unnecessary, in his opinion, to do more than pro-
pose the vote, but he could not submit his motion without
stating that he looked upon the conduct of young Vin-
cent, one of the officers, as heroical in the extreme. (Hear,
hear.) The court by acclamation agreed to the proposition.
MANCHESTER SCHOOL Or DESIGN.—The annual
meeting of the School of Design at Manchester was held on

POST-OFFICE ROBBERIES IN SUNDERLAND.—
Complaints having been made for some time past that
numerous letters containing money and articles of differ-
ent kinds, posted at the Sunderland Post-office, had not
reached their destinations, an assistant.inspector, Mr.
Mottle, was sent down from London last week to that town
in order to discover, if possible, what had become of them.
On Saturday night last, accordingly, Mr. Moule, without
making himself known to any of the officials, put into the
office an envelope marked inside in • peculiar way, con-
taining a sovereign, also marked, and addressed to an indi.
victual residing in the Cowgate, Edinburgh. This should
have been despatched at nine o'clock on the
same evening ; but on the bag being opened
at Gateshead, according to Mr. Moule's instructions, no
such letter was found in it. Oa Monday the inspector
called et the post-office, Sunderland, and having informed
the official. who he was, commenced an investigation of the
matter. The clerks who were present at the making up of
the bags on Saturday evening were examined, and siepicion
fell on a stamper named Marshall Dunn, who on being
charged with the theft admitted his guilt. The marked
envelope was found upon his person; and on searching his
house the sovereign was discovered along with a gold
watch, the eases of a silver watch, • pair of gold spectacles,
and various other articles, which it is supposed have been
abstracted from letters or parcels sent through the post-
office. Dunn was brought before the Sunderland magis-
trates on Monday, and the above facts having been detailed,
he was remanded for a week, in order that further evidence
may be forthcoming.
BRITISH AND IRISH STEAM PACKET COM•
PAN Y. The yearly general meeting of this com-
pany was held on Wednesday last. The report for
the year 1851 was favourable, as announcing the
termination, in April lot, of the hostilities in
which the company, in common with many other
steam interests, had been so long involved. The conse-
quence of the pacification was, so far as the British and
Irish Company was concerned, the occupation of the Dublin
and London line by two parties at uniform rates of freight,
instead of by three as formerly, and with differential and
necessarily competing rates. The directors have also
opened two new steam lines, one between Liverpool and
London, the other between Limerick and London, and with
fair prospects of success. The heavy losses Accruing to
the company from the protracted opposition have been all
cleared off within eight months, end there remains a lair
balance to the credit of profit and loss, warranting • divi-
dend for the last half-year at the rate of I per cent. per
annum, which has been accordingly declared. The report
farther announced that an association was formed among
the Irish steam interests, haring for its object the cultiva-
tion of harmony among its members, the adjustment of
differences, and the strict observance of the non-interfereece
principle. Already the beneficial effects of the association
have been felt in sundry ways, and the company has de-
rived practical advantage from it.
ASYLUM FOR FEMALE ORPHANS, LAMBETH.—A
special general meeting of the governors and subscriber of
this charitable institution was held yesterday at the London
Tavern, for the purpose of considering whether, in the case
of the children rendered destitute by the loss of the Amason,
the strict rule of the society, which required the payment
of 100 guineas upon the admission of each orphan, might
not be dispensed with. Mr. S. Wheeler occupied the chair.
It appeared from the statements elicited at the meeting
that the committee of this institution, with the readiness
which hail always distinguished it, immediately after the
state of these poor children become known to them, corn-
menced taking steps to ensure their admission to the asylum.
They had received a letter from H.R.H. the Duke of Cam-
bridge, giving his cordial support to this object, and trusting
that they would be able to confer the benefits of the insti-
tution upon some of these children. Three of them were
then elected, which was tantamount to a donation of 300
guineas.
