LIVERPOOL, TUMIDLY.
The inquiry commenced this morning, in the
Crown Caere, St. Oecritieehall, end woe eredemet by
Cartels hints, RM., end Mr. Manafiski, stipendiary
magistrate of Liverpool. Mr. O'Dowd spewed for the
Board of Trade, inetracted by Mr. Tyndall, of Liviepol ;
and Mr. atipinall (barrister) Sr 2 Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, mod
Co., the owners, instructed by Yaws. Lowndea, Bobtasea,
sad Co.

Mr. O'Dowd, in opening the eri, said that within
Ma own expertise., and he warred to say within the
memory of man, no event had occurred so dr.
treating in its cheratter, and so lamentable for the
=Mat of its reviler and looms as that whisk they wen
shout to investigate. By the official register the Royal
Charter papered to be the property of Gibbs, Bright, mad
Co., who reprernted the Liverpool and Anauhr Naviga-
tion Compaq; her official number we. 1,366, sad her rota-
tired teenage 2,184 78-100. She was built st leadiercilt
(Plistaire) le 1866, under the swerhitiodioes of Mr. We.
Fllttdlloo., of Bristol. Having quoted from the NOW
and also from Dr. floorteby's journal as to the site, comma
Yen, steam power, he., of the ship, Mr. O'Dowd said that
itzece within the body ol the alp woe divided treas.
v by bulk-heads, awl comprier altogether seven water-
tight compartments. The Royal Charter we. oommanded
by Croats Taylor, a gram= of the higher respectability
in his prefer=; remelt coedited of 112 peewee ; and the
cargo resigned to Mesas. Gibbs, Bright, and Co., consisted

her persogers at Queenstown, she procersd on her voyage,
end same abreast of Holyhead, when she took In 12 riggers

wind blew fresh from the 8.N.8. At 7.46 that day the

The rile had increased to a horrors and at ten o'clock
Captor Taylor gave orders to loess the mar-topeall, sad set

spears; but, notwithstanding this, she drifted rapidly nadir
the prewan of the storm. These users having failed to
prevent the drifting of the ship the sheet sacra we. let go,
sad immediately afterwards the starboard anchor. Every

earn, and almost to the time of the occurrence of the
wreck At the time the anchors win let go she had 100
fathoms chain at the port anchor, sad 70 at the starboard,
with a sulkiest number of hands standing by to Jove her
plenty of eabie. About half-peat one the port chain pared,
and below the order could be gives to bring up the two

Taylor did all be could to encourage sad aware the pr-
esager ; ordered them below, and gave directions to have the
boats brag is tackle. A. • further precaution he ordered
the mare to be cat down. The quartermaster in his evi-
dence described the captain as being unceasing in his
exertions, and stated that he we. repeatedly knocked
down while giving his orders. A man named Joe Rogers
hiroically went ashore with a hewn" sitar the mewl had
etre& on the rocks, end by this ours • few lives were saved,
while a few other persona were saved by being cubed ashore.
With these exception* all on board perished. The oriel
broke somas the main hatchway, and went to piers. Mr.
flialth, of Beaumaris, who would he examined, would, Imre
Isis obearvstions of the subsequent petition of the wreck, give
the court steeliest information on this sutject. There were
two most important considerations suggested by this inquiry;
Art, that thh abinvieg to atoms of an iron ewer seemed to
Indicate not only a deficieacy of strength but positive weak-
sees; and, esomilly, as regarded the captain, though it was
with the greater reluctance that he (Mr. O'Dowd) would
throw the slightest imputation upon his memory, or ask the
court to review his conduct orsoriotaly, yet the Interim of
the pablle demanded that Captain Taylor's proceedings should
be as rigidly and thoroughly investigated as though, instinct
with lik and professional pride, he were that day in court
seeking to protect that commirion which authorised hint in
pursue his profession. Upon these points he (Mr. O'Dowd)
should sot obtrude any opinions of his owe, convinced that
the court would do the strictest justice in the matter. He
, then proceeded to call evidence.

David Ikroagman was the first witness called. He de-
that be was quartermaster on board the Royal Charter
for about two years. She sailed from Melbourne oo the 26th
August last. The voyage was good tip to the time of how
arrival off the Irish cam; It occupied 68 days op troths land-
fag of souse pareogara at Qesenstown. Thirteen passengers
were bonded there on hoard the pilot boat Petrel. The me-
ow up the Cheated as far se Holyhead was very fine. They
reached Holyhead about half-peat 4 o'clock p.m. That was
as Tuesday. the 26th October. The wind was then from
the B.E. When witness cams on deck at 4 o'clock it was
very thick. The vessel did not go close to Holyhead ; she
kept about five miles of In the early part of the day,
before they got to Bardaey, they took on board some ri
That was about noon. It was witneeds watch below=
they reached Holyhead, and he came en deck at 4 o'clock,
me he stayed on deck till 6 o'clock at the wheel. He thee
west below to his supper, sad wee on deck several throes
after, bat was not himself doing ditty. Saw Pont Lyme
Light about 20 minutes or a quarter to 7, than went below
and remained there till 8 o'clock. The light append 6 or
7 miles off, and was broad on the starboard bow. Whams,
however, did not know the exact position of the meld at
this time. At 8 o'clock witness relieved John Hudson= the
watch. The wind bad freshened wafter leierloghlolyhead , and wee
at this time blowing very bard from the north east. Witases
did not see Captain Taylor on deck at eight, but saw him
there at s quarter to nine. The captain ordered the halm-
man to starboard, is order to bring her head to the wind.
The man at the wheel said the helm was hard a-etarboard.
This was after nine o'clock. At a gamier to ten wittier
was ordered by the captain to heave the lead, and he did so
from the starboard bridge. The first soundings were 18
fathoms. The speaker was then the only sell on. The screw
was going, end the vessel was steering E.B.E. He hove the
had • emend time, about ten urinates afterwards and got 16
fathom. The weasel was then drifting so fast that the line
got wader her bottom, though he threw it as far sa possible
to leeward. Captain Taylor, after the first mat of the lead,
ordered the lower maintopsail to he loosed, and after the
second cast gam orders to prepare to let go the anchors. About
belt-peat 10, or a quarter to 11, an unsuccessful attempt was
mule to stay the easel. Captain Taylor then ordered the
chief tear to try to wear her, but witness did
not know whether this wee done, being engaged
with the lead. The third time withese hove the lead
he got 161 fathoms, the wind still increasing. The captain
ordered the chief officer to let go the port anchor, which was
done, and about a quarter of an hour afterwards he ordered
him to let go the starboard anchor. She dragged the poet
anchor a little, but It appeared to bring her head somewhat
to the wind. Before the second anchor was let go the cap-
tain told wittier to get the deep sea had up in order to try
whether the vessel was drifting. When the starboard anchor
was let go the vessel ceased to drag. This was about half-
past 11, and without was relieved about 20 minutes to 12.
The vessel brought up somewhat when the starboard anchor
was let go. Witness then went to the wheel, and remained
there till 10 minutes put 12. The helm wee still hard a-
starboard when he went. When relieved he went forward
to the port bridge, took hold of the line, and found that the
mewl was sot dragging. At this time rocket' and torches
and blue light were burning, and guns firing, and bad been
Mace 8 o'clock. After being about 20 minutes in the fore-
outlet witness again went to the bridge and found that the
vessel held fast still. About half-past 1 or 2 she parted her
port chain with a very heavy pitch, there being a great ass
ea. Captain Taylor then gave orders to get up the stress
sachet out of the attar hold. The stream anchor was brought
up on deck, bat was not bent. The starboard chain broke,
and the vessel's heed turned right round and she went
Rebore. It took nearly an hour to get the anima anchor out
of the hold. She struck about three o'clock, or hall-past.
Some heads begun then to dear the bate, and in about a I
quarter of an hour after the vessel struck the mainmast was!
out army. It fell over on the port side, the lee rigging
being cut aw,,y stterwardr. Witness thought the wreck
went clear of the screw. It ceased to work a few minutes
after the striking, and befire the mast was cut away. The
cutting away of the mast eased her • little. She was broad-
side on to the sea when the struck, and everything on the
starboard side we. carried awsy. The captain was the only
person on the poop then, and he wee keteked down several
times. Witame helped him up. After the vessel struck,
but before she beat up to the rocks, witness took the lead and
sounded inside. There were 31 fathoms aft and 2 forward.
Witnees never went alt again, but remained is the foreman
until he thought it was time to be moving. Orders
had been given to get out the boats before she
struck, but witness did not think that the men were

for swinging, but were not swung out over the ship's aide.
A great Homy of the crew were in the forecastle, end slao

About 6 o'clock witio or was able to make out the loom of the

make an effort to get on shore. Rogers went out on the
jibbootu, taking a bawstr with him, and having dropped into

time, in making it fan'. A boatewainn chair was then
fastened to the hawser, and by this mesas several tenon%

EINAR WARD BERCRIR ON ISE HARPERS
P.RBRI INBURRICZION.

Mr. Beecher, of New York, in his sermon, on
dandy wean, the 30th ult., spoke es follows of the
Ilarper's Pony mama :
"I avail myself of the present state of our land to utter
mess sontizemde on the subject of slavery, though I have not
dens so for a considerable time. The nation is now greatly
melted and deeply coomened about the recent sudden sad
unexpected attack at Harper's Perry. Seventeen white rum,

without the countenance or approval of say legal or delibe-
rative body, most unexpeetedly and openly Mack en entire
Mate to release and rescue an ..slaved race. They were not
celled upon by the saffron, nor expected even by them.
They undertake all themselves. Yee, these seventeen white
men munencined two thousand people to manuater to them,
sad they did as they were required ; and these seventeen men
held them all In dermas for two fall days. They
waited satil the forces of two states' were massed
to release them. Ido not wonder that the Virginians
feel lettuffiated. EMI one feels for them. No one double
the tummy of the Virginians—not at all. But people may
be sometimes armies& and taken unawares. However this
may be, it seems to as strange that Ude invasion of seven-
teen men should have maned so ninth alarm, so much con-
fusion end noise It Is no wonder the Virginians try to
soaks the most of it. They feel ashamed of the facts, and
everyom is sympathising with thaw. There was fall enough
of the matter, and I think we shan't have any more of it, or
mythieg like it. There is something In the matter which
Genoa be got over, in the fact that seventeen men held two
gemmed people prisoner. for two days. They cannot hide
the signitioame of this single fact, do what they will. It
comet be oormealed. Them seventeen men invaded • state,
seined open the government armoury, and held two thousand
of the inhabitants of that state primers for two days,
till two sues had risen and descended en their eclipse.
The Virginians feel piqued to be sun, but they only
remind us of the story of the fox which got his tail cut off
in • trap, and then endeavoured to get the other fear
to get their, cut off in a like manner, but nem of them would
do it. There is something—there must be som thing—un-
derlying all this, which caused two thousand V' gid to
submit to the power of seventeen men till the forces of two
whole states should be brought against them—till volunteers
should saascoble from every portion of them two stater—till
the United States forces should arrive at the some with their
