LOSS OF THE "PACHA."

The following graphic account of the catastrophe
is from tho pen of a party who was on board the
racha :

We left Singapore at noon of the 21st of July on our
passage to Penang and Calcutta, and had got on very well
until twelve o'clock at sight, when we met the Erin, and
by come means or another, at about seven minutes past
twelve she ran foul of us, and in four minutes after the
poor ruche sank from under us. We have lost from on
board of us sixteen souls, and tow the forty-one that
were saved were so God only knows; the thing was
sudden that there wait not a chance to do any-
thing to save the people. The Erin cut right into
the middle of the Fuchs. Burn and myself were asleep
at the time. I heard the captain, Miller, sing out " Star-
board, hard a starboard," and I knew there was something
wrong directly. I jumped up, put on my trousers, and ran
on deck; bat before I eould get up the companion the Erin
was right into the starboard side, and the Paeha's foremast
went directly, Well, I ran forward and was coming aft
again, when the first engineer told me the forehoM WY
full of water and the ship gradually settling down, wadi
she was. We ran aft to the quarter boats, and the people
were lowering them down. I went to the companies
for a tomahawk to cut them away. The people were
crowding into them, so I got one of the life-buoys and put
it on,and just then the Pacha gave a plunge, and went down
bead foremost. I had only time to jump and clear the rail
and boats' davits. The Pacha in going down sucked ime
under a considerable distance. It was certainly an awful
moment to hear and see the waters gurgling :end darkening
over head ; but thank God in a short time I rose and found
myself among a heap of spars and I cannot tell what of the
wreck. The scene around was a fearful oue. The .Erinwas
a short distance off, with the forepart of her nearly gone;
and to hear the poor fellows around me crying out
for somebody to come and save them was hear-rending.
The Erin immediately lowered down her boats and picked
up fifteen of us that were floating about—the remainder
were got up the bows of the Erin. it is certainly miraculous
how so mauv were saved, as it was only four minutes from
the time of the colliaion taking place to the time of the
Pacha's sinking, rind the Erin nearly as had. When we got
on board she was goinl fast down by the head ; however,
they got a sail round the bows of the vessel, and alter being
there for three hours, we went on to Singapore, where
we arrived on the 22nd, at 2.30 p.m., and next morn-
ing there was 7 feet of water in the engine-room, all
the opium in the forehuld ruined, and a great dial in the
after one. There is not one of us that has saved a rag of
clothes. I had nothing on but a shirt and trousers.
The following is a portion of a letter also from a party on
board the l'acha :—" It was a beautiful night and calm,
or we all should have been drowned. It was a most melon•
choly sight; we all had a hard struggle for life, and to see
them as they got on hoard the Eriu, on the forecastle, and
round the capstan—all hands went down on their knees to
prayers, and a clergyman on hoard returned thanks for
those whose lives were spared. We were all in bed when
it happened except those on watch. There was not a siugle
thing saved belonging to any one. I urn happy to say there
were no females on board at the time."
THE ENOINEER'S REPORT OF TILE " ERIN."

After riving a detailed account of the accident similar in
effect to the preceding, the engineer proceeds as follows:
" We steamed on to Singapore, being then at a distance of 90
miles. We ran the ship ashore as far us we could get her ou
the beach ; we found at low-water two large holes, one in
the port bow (the third plate from the keel) four feet long,
and nne on the starboard how twelve inches square. Com-
menced at tide-times to put patches upon them, so as to get
the ship off the beach beloro the neap-tides. I am happy to
say that the two bottom plates are completed, and the ship is
hauled off the beach ; we are now progressing favourably
with the upper patches, and en:wet to sail for Hong Kong
in sight days."—Maxis Adverisser of this morning.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY.

GREEN WICII.
MURDER OF A POLICEMAN.

IVilliata Creasy was re-examined, charged on suspicion
with the murder of a policeman of the It division, of the
name of James Iltuitie, about the middle of Feb., 18 IS.
Mary Ann Davie, who lived with the prisoner,
said—l first became acquainted with the prisoner
about six years ago, at Hackney, when working with a
laundress. It was in the summer, and I east not know
the prisoner before. Ile was then lodging about three
miles from me, having a wife living at the time, of which
I was not aware. About six months after I became
acquainted with him I went and lived with him at Dept-
ford, at Gibbons-street. We lived there one week before
the murder took place, and three weeks after we went
again to Hackney, where we resided for about three
mouths, and then removed to Jersey. We stayed there
about six or eight months. Ile used to use me very
bad, and I said that if ever I went back to England
I would make him suffer for that, when he took up a pair
of bellows and cut my head open. We came back from
Jersey, but where we landed I cannot say, and we lodged
near Dooley-street, and afterwards removed to Deptford.
We had no settled place for about four months before we
came to Deptford. The witness was very lath to say
anything in the charge saying that she could
not recollect, her memory being so bail. She
was certain that he had told her that lie had killed the
p Iceman. His right hand was full of blood, and he
threatened that if she said anything about it he would be
hung for her as well. It was not out of malice that she
said this, for she had loved him as she had loved her
soul, and would hove dune anything for him. When he
struck her with the bellows and cut her head open, she did
not say that he did it, but said that she had fallen down
stairs. Could not recollect the doctor's name that attended
her, she had such a bad recollection, owing to her being
frightened by the prisoner's constant ill-usage. She was ill
all the time she was atJ ersey.
The prisoner said he could, if allowed, explain where he
hail lodged fur 28 years past.
The magistrate mitt be had much better reserve it for a
fitter occasion. . . . .

Ser;rea7ti.:Crpenter Mated that he hut made inquiries
at Hackney and at Deptford, and found that the
statements as to dates were generally correct. The
prisoner had stated that at the time of the
murder he was working at Walthamstow, and on making in.
quiries he found that he was absent for about twelve
mouths; thus including the time that the murder took
place. Ou the 10th of July, 1844, ho went away, and has
not been heard of since till the prevent time. He
bad heard that he was the terror of the place,
that ho was tried fur the murder of his first wife, and had
ill-used very much the second. He had been engaged the
whole of the time in making inquiries, but owing to the
length of time since it occurred, was nut able to gather
anything more, and therefore prayed for a remand.
The magistrate said, under the circumstances he should
remand the case for it week.

LORD JOHN ItUsSELL IY WALES.—LLANISERIS,
FILIDAY..-- Rill lordship, Lady Russell, and family,
arrived at Bangor by uain on Tuesday morning
last, and proceeded to visit Thomas Asshetoa Esq., at
Vacnol, passing the night at the t'eurhyn Arias Hotel. On
Wednesday morning Lady Russell and party arrived at the
Uxbridge Arms Hotel, Caraarron, and were joined at 3
o'clock by his lordship, who arrived in an open boat, down
the ]tenor Straits, from the bridge. The premier, accom-
panied by his family, then visited the noble castle of Car-
varvon, the time-honoured ruins of which he inspected
with the greatest interest. The party almost immediately
proceeded on to the Victoria Hotel, Llanberis, where they
now remain, enjoying the scenery of this delightful lo-
cality.

THE ALLEGED SEIZURE OF BRAZILIAN SHIPPING.
—lt was stated; in the Express of Wednesday,. that a
meeting of Manchester merchants, trading to Brazil, had
taken steps to induce the directors of the Commercial Aso*.
ciation of that town, to communicate with the Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs, ou the subject of the recent seizure
of the Amalie, smack, and other vessels, with the conse-
quences likely to arise out of these proceedings. The direc-
tors of the association had a meeting on Thursday, on the
subject, which resulted in the following letter being ad-
dressed by the president to Lord Palmerston :—" Man-
chester Commercial Association, Sept. 18, 16.51.—My Lord,
—A
numerous sad influential deputation of members of
this association, largelyeugaged in the Brazilian trade, have
recently waited upon the Board, and have represented that
the intelligence received from Brazil by the last packet,
and which has since appeared in the public papers,
is of a nature calculated to inspire with the greatest
alarm every British merchant engaged in commerce
with that country, the more so as the published accounts
are amply borne out by their private correspondence. The
association learn that feelings of the greatest exasperation
against the British government prevail in the Brazilian le-
gislature, and amongst the people at large, in consequence
of certain alleged acts of injustice inflicted by our cruisers
upon subjects of that state, by the seizure and destruction
of their shipping engaged in legitimate commerce, and by
the confiscation of their cargoes without due legal investi-
gation; and that a law had been passed by a majority of 79
to Ls, in the Lower House of Representatives, empowering
the government to place the coasting trade under the flag
of some more powerful nation, a mode of proceeding which
it is feared, may be still further extended, to the incalcu-
lable injury of British commerce, should a similar course of
whet they assert to be unprovoked aggression on the part of
Great Britain be any longer persevered in. The association
have, therefore, requested me respectfully to bring the mat-
ter under your lordship's notice, feeling that the magnitude
of the interests involved, whether as regards the immense
importance of the trade, which may thus be placed in
isopardy, or the vast amount of British property at present
in the hands of Brazilians, will be deemed by your lordship
apology sufficient for their trespassing upon your attention;
and they trust that your lordship will cause strict inquiry
11 to be made into the truth of the foregoing allegation, and,
if it should be ascertained that any substantial ground of
complaint does in reality exist, your lordship will mime-
gigtely adopt such a course as may effectually provide
against a recurrence of arts of unnecessary ssverity towards
the Brazilian people; and, as great anxiety and I:ceertaint/
prevail among the merchants interested in the tra, wit
Brasil, this association will esteem it as a favour if M.
lordship will supply them with any information ealculsh..4
to oily the apprehemions which have necessarily been
elcitcd by the advises above referred to. I have the
honour to be, my lord, your lordship's most obedient ser-
vant (signed), J. AarINALL Teasing, President.—The
ltight flea. Lord Vissoant Palmerston, C).C.8., duo., ito."

THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1851.

THE REGISTRATIONS.

WESTMINSTER.—Yesterday morning John Fraser
Ms.:queen, Esq.,the barrister appointed to revise the lists
for the City of Westminster, sat in the Vice-Chancellor's
Court, Westminster Hall. Mr. Itiuggitt attended on the
part of the liberals. The claims arc as follow: St. Ann's, Soho,
6 ; St. Clement MUCH, 0 ; St. Ocorfe's, Hanover-square,
3 ; St. James's, 4 ;
' • St. John's, 6 ; St. Margaret's, 4 ; St.
Martin's, 14 St. Mary-le-Strand, 0 ; Precinct of the Savoy,
0 ; total 37. These are wholly omitted by the overseers,
and there is not a single objection. The morning was oc-
cupied in the correction of verbal errors is the lists, and
nothing of the slightest importance occurred.
HERTFORDSHIRE.—The district of Hemel Hemp-,
stead was revised on Wednesday. In the parish of Kens-
worth, the claim of Thomas Fossey was objected to by Mr.
Bontems, on the ground that he could not make out a bene-
ficial leasehold qualification. Mr. Swordcr called Mr.
Foster, who said that he held a lease for 21 years, renew-
able every seven years, but upon cross-examination, ho
could not say what rent he paid for it, nor what profit he
made out of it. The ease was theftfore adjourned for the
production of the lease.—ln the parish of Ftamstcad, the
names of Edward Burr and Frederick Hose were struck
out, they bring merely trustees fur, and haring no interest
in, the property.—ln the parish of Hemel Hempstead, Mr.
A. L. Compigue's claim was disallowed both on the regis-
ter end the new list, on the ground that he had ceased to be
owner of his farm and had not been occupier long enough
to entitle him to claim for the new qualification. The bil-
lowing is the result of the day's revision :—Liberal gain:
Claims, 19; objections, 24-43. Tory gain: Claims, 38;
objections, 13-51. Liberal gain to this time, 138 ; Tory
ditto 121.—The court for the district of Ilattield was held
on Thursday. In the parish of Elstree the claim of J. B.
Fowles, the gentleman whose name was struck out at Al-
denham, was again expunged, he having again claimed
as a " leaseholder" instead of an occupier. In the Essendon
list two claims were struck out by the liberals on the ground
that the claims were informal, one being without the name
of the parish and the other without the name of the county.
In striking out these claims the barrister remarked that he
did so most reluctantly, and be reocatedly referred to the
statutes to see if he could nut find a loop-hole for their es-
cape. lie blamed the overseer for having shown the claims,
and directed bim not to do it again. Me. Bontems denied
that it was improper for the overseers to produce the claims;
any overseer was at liberty to show the claims to whom he
pleased: In this case, if he had been the overseer, he would
have treated the claims as mere waste paper. Mr. S aorder said
he felt assured that if he had been aware of the point he could
have convinced the court that the names could be retained.
The Barrister considered he had no alternative, hut must
strike out the names.—ln the parish of Hatfield, W. Fisher
and W. Harrow were objected to by Mr. Buntcms, and Mr.
&corder put in agreements by which the claimants held
their estates in exchange for others which they had given
up to the Marquis of Salisbury. Mr. Bontems contended
that such agreements gave them no title to the property,
and said he doubted whether the marquis had the power to
make the exchange in question. The Barrister said it was
fur Mr. Bontems to prove the incapacity of the marquis.
The claimants were is possession and enjoyment of the pro-
perty, and he considered their claims good; and they
were allowed. ticorge Webb was objected to by the tories,
and the name struck off, lie having claimed for " freehold
houses," and it appeared that, although he had been pos-
sessed of the land long enough, the houses had not Len
built in time.—ln the parish of Ridge Mr. 11. B. Norman,
who had hers, objected by Mr. liontems, appeared to prove
his qualification. Early in the day ar. Bantems had of-
freest to withdraw the objection. but Norman declined to
accept the offer, stating that he should ask for costs. After
waiting until nearly the close of the court, the claim was
struck off, Mr. Norman nut having been in possession long
enough. Result of the day's revisioa:—Liberal gain: claims,
27 ; objections, 25-52. 'Cory gain: claims, 37 ; objections,
26-53. Liberal gain to this time, 138; tory ditto, 121.
DCRIIAM.—The list of voters for the northern and
southern division of the county. of Durham was i'eviseil on
Tuesday last by IL Matthews, Esq., the barrister appointed,
78 new claims were allowed, and 30 names were struck off
the list. The revision of the city list was afterwards pro-
ceeded with, the following being the result :—Objections
by conservatives, freemen, 8 ; struck off, 3 ; withdrawn, 3.
Conservative claims, 0; sustained, 3. Objections by con-
servatives, householders, 3 ; struck off, 3. Conservative
claims, householders, II ; sustained, 11. Objection, by li-
berals, freemen, 12 ; struck off, 4 ; withdrawn, 5. Liberal
claims, 3' • sustained, 3. Objections by liberals, house-
holders, 13; struck Mt 8 ; withdrawn, 3. Liberal claims,
householders, 11 ; sustained, G.—Durham Adretieser.

THE VOLUNTARY EDUCATIONISTS AT

MANCHESTER.

The conference of the members and friends of the I
Congregational hoard of Education upon the Voluntary
Principle closed on Tuesday evening with the appointment
of a county board for Lancashire, and a resolution that it
was desirable to enter iato further subscriptions to secure
the amount of about 4,400/. a year for the support of the
training schools, and to raise uew schools, and aid such
others as were in ditticuitiesi.

In the evening the proceedings closed with a public
meeting. Mr. Cnossi.m, Mayor of Ilalifax, presided.
Mr. E. BAINES lc:vim; read a paper on tho subject of
education,
The Rev. Mr. KELLY addressed the meeting at some
length, and conducted by moving n resolution to the effect
that the rapid extension of the 111,illIS of primary instruc-
tion iu the country during the last half-century, and the
evidence of the iacreas•d interest telt by the humbler
cla.sscs in reference to education, furnished grounds for in•
creased confidence in the efficiency of the volnntary system.
Ike. GEO. SMITH, of London, seconded the resolution,
and it was carried unanimously.
The Rey. Dr. HALLEY waved the next resolution, which
:

.
That voluntary education is, and national education
ought to be, the wort of tin: people themselves, since the
training of the child is essentially the duty of the parent,—
a responsibility which he cannot devolve on any classes,
sects, or parties in the colon unity ;—that the true purposes of
education would be deteateil if, on the one hand, parents
should be compelled to educate their offspring, or, on the
other, should succeed in comoelling their fellow-citizens
to provide for them the nieaus to instruction ; that all which
enlightened patriotism and Christian benevolence can do, in
this matter, is to c ill the attention of parents to the duty of
educating their ehildreu—to elevate, by all suitable means
the tone of popular thinking on this subject—to assist well-
' qualified persons in fitting themselves for the office of
teachers--aud to aid the really needy in their efforts to dis-
charge a sacred obligation. That this meeting deprecates
the adoption of u national system of education based on
general or local taxation, and deems a strenuous opposition
to the schemes recently proposed, and to all similar plans,
justified by such ex nsiderations as the following :-1. They
involve a considerable addition to the taxation of the
country, which, according to a fixed law, presses most
heavily on the poorest
_portion of the community. 2. They
would paralyse the efforts of benevolence, to which this
country is so largely indebted—all experience proving that
the aid of the state diminishes the resources of voluntary
liberality. 3. They would deaden the sense of parental
responsibily and inflict serious moral injury on the poor,
by taking from them the inducement to provide education
at their own cost, thus encouraging pauperism of the worst
description. 4. They essentially involve the principle of
communism, since, resting on the assumption that it is the
duty of the state to provide education for the people, they
necessarily admit that the people may claim this as a right;
a principle which would not only introduce embarrassment
into the all-important subject of education, but produce the
most disastrous results in reference to other departments of
legislation. 6. They would destroy that competition, which
gives to education a more vital energy, and a higher charac-
ter, than any governmental supervision can secure. O.
They are antagonistic to the principles of commercial free-
' dons, which have been adopted as the basis of future legis-
lation. 7. To realise the professed designs of their pro-
moters, attendance must be enforced by compulsory enact-
ment. 8. The, would depreciate in general estimation
the value of education, since experience proves that
what is obtained without effort is lightly regarded.
9. They involve centralisation, because, on many important
points, they contain provisions which set aside the local
management they. originate. 10. They are encumbered
with the most serious difficulties in connexion with the
moral and religious training of the young, necessitating one
or other of the following plans :—a. An attempt to adapt
the religious instruction to the different religious denomina-
tions, which would exclude the truths regarded by Chris-
tians holding evangelical sentiments as vital and funda-
mental. b. The exclusion of religion from day schools by
force of law, which would be an infringement of religious
liberty, would outrage the feelings and convictions of many
practical friends of education, debar from the profession of
teacher all persons of earnest piety, and prove injurious to '
the character of education itself. c. The equal support of
all forms of religions belief, which would set aside the su-
premacy of truth, and create a new religious establishment
far more extensive than the present one. 11. They do not
admit of any guarantee as W the religious principles and
character of the teacher."
_ . .

The Rev. Dr. MASSIE seconded the resolution, and it
was carried unanimously.
A vote of thanks to the chairman was passed, and the
proceedings terminated.

REPRESENTATION 07 BIADPORD.—The committee
for promoting the requisition *Kr. Milligan met last night,
under the presidency of S. C. Lister, Esq., to report pro-
gress, and to consider what sew should now be taken. It
was stated that more than 500diaatures had been obtained
to the requisition, and that many persons who had not
signed the document had plesied, notwithstanding, to vote
for Mr. Milligan. In the coarse of the day the hon. gentle-
man will, most likely, receive the requisition ; and there is
a confident feeling that ho will accede to the wish of the
elector,. His address may be looked for on the walls of the
town early to-morrow. Mr. Wickham, the other candi-
date is, like Mr. Milligan, • free trader.—Bradford

VALUE OP LABOUR IN IRELAND.—Labourers aro
very scarp in this locality, and such is the demard for
them that a single able-bodied pauper over 15 years of ago
has not remained in the workhouse. The average wages
given to labourers at present is from Is. 3.1. to Is. per day.
I The small farmers complain bitterly at not liting able to
i,srocre enough of labourtvs at any price. On M., whole,
we are Oonvioewl that, from the appearance of the orop
isneasny, this will be a plentifhl year, and we trust

Owing to the want of public interest in the Cup and the
almost entire absence of speculation on it until the night
before the race, the attendance this afternoon was chiefly
confined to parties stopping in the neighbourhood, and to
visitors from the manufacturing districts; few patronised
the special train from town, and the aggregate, compared
with the memorable Cup day of lBa, showed a falling off
to the extent of at least one third ; very few fashionables
were present. The racing was excellent, and was remark-
able for the success which attended Sir Joseph Ilawley's
colours, Aphrodite winning the lark-bill and Doncaster
stakes in the commonest of canter., and the Dan the Cup,
Maid of Masham, who was looking well at the time, having
broken down at the distance. The Cup race, it will be seen,
remains in abeyance until the stewards shall have adjudi-
cated on' he objection agaiust the winner. The meeting on
the whole has been very successful, and it is gratifying to
add that the management in every department is entitled
to the highest praise ; not less commendable were Mr. Sey-
mour Clarke's arrangements at the railway station, the ar-
rival and departure of the trains having been so regulated
as to prevent the confusion that prevailed last year, and the
occurrence of an accident of any consequence.

THE NEW SURREY COUNTY GAOL AT WANDS-
WORTII.—This edifice, erected as a substitute for the jails
of Guildford, Kingstor, &c., is at length completed, and is
now ready for the reception of prisoners. It is built upon
an elevated and salubrious site, Wandsworth-common, and
from its extensive outline has a most commanding aspect.
The external walls inclose an area of 13 acres, a large por-
tion of which is appropriated as airing grounds, &c. The
building itself, which is of an irregular pentagonal form,
occupying the remainder, about 1,000 feet in length and
600 feet in depth. The design is by D. Hill, Esq.,
architect, of Birmingham. The style is plain, consists
ing of massive brickwork, with stone coigns and dress- ,
ins, the interior hating all the modern improve-
ments and arrangements as at Pentouville and simi-
lar prisons ; it is, moreover, entirely fireproof, and
the whole details of t'lte plan have been ably carried out by
Messrs. Locke and Neshant, of Theobald's-road, the ,
builders. This gaol is calculated for 700 prisoners; ,
a separate cell for each, measuring 13 feet by 7
feet, and 7 feet in height; and there are also 47
reception and punishment cells, the whole of the floorings
of which, in order effectually to exclude thane, are laid with
Orsi and Armani's patent metallic lava. The chapel has ;
304 separate sittings, and, from the flooring being laid in ;
chequered blue and white Staffordshire tiles, has a very
neat appearance. Throughout the whole building similar
:toj.iratut to Ventoutille it oitiolied for warming. venti-
Liting, cooking, dryitt4 clothes, ete.; whilo tee kitchen,
cooking apparatus, laundry, &c., are isolated from the ,1
main building. The magistrates' room and the apartments
for the respective elficers are neatly, but not expensing', '
fitted.
