blonday last, during a strong south-westerly gale,
weather very thick, with rain, the Swedish screw sloop-
of-war Orsuld, which had left Havre the same morning for
Gottenborg, struck on the m.:in land at Jary's Gap, about
five miles north-west of the light of Dungeness, acd be
a wreck. The vessel at the time was in charge of a
pilot licensed by the Triuity House, Hull. Of the crew
and passengers on board (in all 17.4 persons( twelve were
lost by the upsetting of two boats, which broke adrift before
they were fully manned. The remainder 1121) were
rescued by means of the rocket apparatus, worked by the
coast guard stationed by the Road
of Trade at Jury's-gap.
It way be added that on hearing of the wreck thelifebmit
of the National Lifeboat Institution at Rye immediately
put off to the assistance of the shipwrecked crew : but
finding they were being safely and expeditiously landedvesse by
the rocket apparatus, and the nearness a the l
to the shore, and her position rendering it very dangerous
to place the lifeboat alongside, the coxswain of the boat
was compelled to beach ber through a heavy surf, most of
the boats oars being broken in doing so.

This was an action to recover 40/. on a bill of exchange.
The defendant amongst other pleas pleaded that no con-
arisration had been given for the bill

for the defendant.
It appeared that the defendant had accepted the bill in

boa that he would supply the goods for it. Skinner was
ipt called by either party. The defence was that plaintiff
bad been aparty to a fraud, and had given no value for

, that he gave 191. in cash for the bill, and placed the

THE NEWS PROM JAMAICA.

The Telegraph is amused at the horror which Mr. Card-
well's despatch applauding the vigour of the Jamaica au-
thorities will cause is Exeter Hall, and thinks Mr. Lieven,
the editor of the County Union, ought to think himself one
of the most fortunate of mankind for being released from
arrest, seeing he had declared in his journal that Mr.
Eyte was ruining the colony by his misgovernment. It is
satisfactory to think that Sir Henry Storks is by this time
at work, and that his associates are on the way to the
colony. Thank, to the vigour of Mr. Eyre, Jamaica ha
not ceased to be a part of the British empire ; but its rela-
tion to the home government must henceforth be materially
altered. Mr. Eyre himself saw this, and with a true
political instinct he roused the Assembly into action—even
action against its own existence; but the work will be ell
the better for revision.

The Star notes that Combiner Eyre 's report, to which
Mr. Cardwell's despatch was a reply, was the very one upon
which the outcry against the governor arose, end it declines to
believe, until the whole of the text is published, that it was
throughout of the laudatory tenour which pervaded the
extracts sent to the Assembly, though it is suillciently asto-
nished that, with the hoc.ible details which were before
him at the time, he could have got through three para-
graphs of approval without one word of doubt or
one sign of hesitation. Should he have made no
qualifying observations the Colonial Secretary will
meet parliament under very awkward circumstanom.
The Sear praises the Chief Jodie. of Jamaica for devout/.
ing Mr. Lieven's arrest I's unconstitutional, sod for de-
ciding that he has means of redress. It adds that Mr.
Lieven is about to come to England to lay hie case par-
entally before the ministry.

THE PELBCIDT CITT.

Without saying that the trustees could have found no
other unobjectionable mode of employing Mr. Peabody's
gift than that which they hese adopted, the Daily News
thinks it will be admitted that the scheme eombines all the
essential elements of a useful charity, one which, unlike most
charities, will be perpetually increasing itself and extending
its influence over a larger area. With one remark, however,
la the report it is impossible to coincide—namely, that the
Peabody buildings should be exempted from the poor•rate
on the ground that the fund operates to the repression of
the rates for the poor. Even if it were possible to define
with any reasonable accuracy the sort of property
which " operates to the repression" of such rates, it
does not seem very clear why property which,
if it were in private hands, would be liable
to poor rate, should be relieved because it is in the hands
of trustees. Nor does it seem fair to the other proprietors
of house property in the neighbourhood that whilst they
are charged with poor rate, the houses bought by Mr.
Peabody's trustees, from which rent is also derived, should
not be subject to a like burden. Surely the existence of
any such privilege would tend rather to deter proprietors
from the conclusion that they might with advantage to
themselves improve the character of the houses erected far
the cue of the labouring clause.

It seems to the Star that the trustees of the Peabody
gift have hit upon am of the best ways of securing all the
benefits of a charity without incurring any of its dangers.
The help they give is aocsorded strictly on the great prin-
ciple which Yr. Mill lays down as essential to the beneficial
operation of say such scheme, in order that those who re-
solve it may thereby be enabled to help themselves,

MOOS TOPICS.

The Tiwea, looking at the matter calmly and seriously,
rejoices at Irish emigratioo, and believes we must look to
it even in the future as the best means of giving prosperity
and tranquillity to the country. It is only emigration which
an prevent the fieros competition for land, which can
cam smicultere to be conducted with adequate skill and
capital, and on a male which will permit fall justim to be
done to the soil. The effects of the demeans of popula-
tion which has already taken place are most eatiefarAcisy.

TEI CATTLZ PLLCUL

Remarking on the fatal peen'imity of the cattle plague,
that it is ell pure loss, diminishing the food and
capital of the count% j, without any compensation what-
ever, the lose falling in the first Matinee upon a single class
with crushing and almost irresistible weight, the Times
proceeds to review the legislation of the govern-
meet thereon, strongly expreming the opinion that
ministers ought long before this to have yielded to the
logic of facts, and to have acted upon the recommendation
of the oomrnimionms, which, at the time it was made,
would not have been accepted as a safe basis for action.
Simply from fear of unpopularity, from the dread of an
outcry against centralisation, from that abject terror of re-
sponsibility which seems to be becoming every day more
and more the characteristic of our statesmen, the
government deserts the country in this great strait, and
really furnishes arguments against itself very difficult so
meet, for it will be said that not h►ving sued the means of
stopping the pestilent*, which were in its hands, it is
bound to indemnify the grazier who has suffered from it.
Until the government has taken the thing into its own
hands, and issued one general order, as to the prevention of
the movement of cattle, for the whole country, it is im-
possible to say that it has done everything in Be power to
relieve the grazing interest.
Quoting the principal figures in the return which we
publish in another column, the Pal remarks that the
longer the pest continues amongst es the firmer its hold
seems to became ; and the researches made into its history
—not only in this but also in other oonntriea—seem to
impress scientific men wit► the unpleasant conviction that,
now since the seeds have been sown over the length end
breadth of the land, years may elapse before it is finally
extirpated. The opportunity for energetic action would
have been seized long ago by a minister like Lord Palmer-
ston. There is no prospect of the cessation of the plague
under existing arrangements. When thorough uniformity
of action shall have been inaugurated throughout Great
Britain, absolutely confining black cattle to the farms on
which they are now to be found, then we may hope for
its discontinuance.

WOOED SCHOOL UNION.

Last evening the annual distribution of prizes
to pupils of ragged schools who have held the a/Wigan
obtained for them for a period of twelve months and up-
wards, with good characters, took place at Baiter-hall,
under the presidency of the Earl of SnarrseaotaT. Nearly
1,000 boys and girls who bad belonged to the various Tamed
school* of the metropolis were moat Tea sad A. were
served at & o'olook. Mr. Gent (the secretary) said that
during the last thirteen years the number of rites, is-
eluding those of that evening, awarded to the pupils of the
togged sohoola, amounted to 7,552, of which 4,4 M had been
obtained by boys, and 3,150 by girls. This year
the number competing for prizes was 627, and 566
succeeded is taking them. These came from 80 schools,
es.ablished is the metropolis, and case boy obtained two
prima a fifth time. The periods during which the pepils
held their situations varied, sone being less than twelve
months, and some as long as eight years. The committee
felt that these had bean iscresead ear* used in the selection
of boys and girls for eltuatiocs, and that the young people
were exceedingly worthy of the prises awarded to them.
The oommittee were much gratified at the growth of moral
character among many of the old scholars, and were of
opinion that the scheme of annual prises was productive of
industry and good behaviour among the pupils. The Earl
of Shaftesbury, after stating that although be suffered from
indisporition be bad come to preside on the occasion from
his fond regard for the boys and girls of the ragged schools,
said that • abort time ago • supper was gives to
the homeless boys of London. and the day after
the erect fifty-four boys sought admission into
the refuge. It was a remarkable thing that this, boys,
trireo, as they were, from so curious and wild a class, bad,
after being under their care for three weeks, conducted them-
selves admirably, liked them work well, wen diligent at it,
and hied to each other. Until the friends of the ragged
schools took the poor children of London in band and
brought them out of sin, misery, and vice, it wee stated
that the state in which the children were was purely
normal in its ebaracter, and that they were only fit for
the gaol and the haegman. Bat the friends of the ragged
school* knew bettor, sad it would bs difficult to past, at
the present time, to say of the establishments in which
England rejoiced, out of which base come a greater number
of orderly and decent men and women than out of the
ragged schools of the metropolis. The prises, which con-
sisted of seven and sixpence in money and a certificate,
ware then awarded by the Earl of Shaftesbury. The
meeting was addressed by Mr. Serjeant Payne and the Rev.
W. Cadman, and the proceed:age concluded by the aiming
of hymns by the pupils and the Doxology and Benediction.

PARLIAMENTARY OATHS BILL.

- ------- -
On the order for the third reading of the Parliamentary
Oaths Bill,
Mn NEWDEGATE 0008 more protested against what
he considered • piece of retrograde legislation, and urged
the honer not to peas the bill without the introduction of
words in the new oath laving the supremacy of the crown
and the law.
The ATTORNEY-MINERAL pointed out that the pro-
position of the boo. member was the revival of the old
and exploded error that the supremacy of the crown
depended upon au oath, whereas it realdepended upon the
law of the land. The suggestion made by Mr. Newde-
grde would, in feet, be a snare for conecienors, and of all
possible proposals was the very worst.
Mr. LONG did not regard the oath of supremacy in
the light described by the Attorney-General, but as •
test of the recognition of the sapremacy of the crown.
The bill was thee read a third time and pissed.

THE NORTHUMBERLAND IRON-GLAD.

The Northumberland still remains upon the
stocks at the yard of the Millwall Iron Works, Ship-
building, and Graving Docks Company, and there
is no prospect of launching her until next Saturday
week, when there will be another spring tide. No
apprehension need be entertained that she will sus-
tain any damage, as careful examinations have shown
that she stands as firmly as she did before the at-
tempted launch. During Sunday and yesterday
several esientffic naval and other authorities visited
the yard, and opinions are unanimous upon this
very important part of the question. The chief
part of the blame is laid upon the captains of four
tug steamers, who at the Let moment refused to
place themselves in peril by attaching their hawsers
to the iron-Glad's stern. The builders maintain
that the well-directed effort of only one
tug before the vessel stopped would have been
sufficient to ensure her successful launch. The
opportunity afforded at low water yesterday of
examining the cradle and ways was enough to prove
the care and skill exercised by the yard managers ;
and the admirable way in which the ship is now
wedged and shored up should dispel any fear as to
the safety of this valuable piece of national pro-
perty. After the tide yesterday morning (which
was unusually high), and the failure of the efforts
made, it was decided to make no further attempt
until Saturday week. A number of Admiralty
barges will then be fastened under the Northum-
berland's stern, with the object of floating the
after portion of the ship, and lifting her out of the
obstacle which has hitherto barred her progress.
The precise cause of the stoppage has not yet been
discovered.

THE SAYERS MONUMENT.-Thil monument

now completed, and may be seen by the curious in High-
gate Cemetery, near the upper gates. It is the work of
Hr. Morton Edwards, and reflects great credit on the taste
and skill of that sculptor. The monument Itself is 7 feet
hag by 4 feet wide, and about 4 feet high, and rests on a
solid bass 9 feet long by 5 feet wide and 2 feet 6 inches
high. In front of the monument is represented poor Tom's
dog, apparently guarding the entrance, end on the front of
the tomb is a medallion of the late champion, the likeness
being so good that axone who ever saw him can fail to
',cognise it. The whole monument, which is very mar-
ewe and weighs some eight tons, is admirably executed in
Sicilian narbie, and is a worthy memento of one against
latices honesty the never was the shade of a suspicion-
'We lislisys it is there intention of Mr. Edwards to hem a

THE WEATHER AND THE HARVEST.

The weather during the past week has been
broken and variable, and heavy storms of wind and rain
have been experienced, with breaks" of sunshine and
warm temperature. Fortunately for this southern district
the great bulk of the harvest has been gathered in, in
capiwl condition, before the wet set in, and we may so far
congratulate ourselves on the fact. Some little
grain nevertheless still remains on the ground.
and the weather of last week enabled little if
anything to be done towards clearing the field'.
On the whole the reports of the harvest in the south are
satisfactory, though it is admitted on all hands that the
wheat will certainly fall considerably short of an average.
As regards beans, barley, and oats, the reporta as to the
yield are good. The rains—if obstructive to harvest opera-
tions—have been serviceable to the root crops, which pro-
mise welL " Second" hay crops have also done well, and
the pastures are looking fresh and verdant. But a change
to diy and sunny weather would now be extremely accept-
able, and potato growers are beginning to feel especiaßy
anxious on this point.
The reports from the hop districts, though tolerably
favourable, speak of the damage done by the recent
storms of wind and rain. The hops have been battered a
good deal, and in exposed situations the fruit has suffered
some little damage from being knocked about by the wind.
Picking has partially commenced, but will probably be
general by the end of the week. Warm. sunny, and quiet
weather is now greatly to be desired. Speaking generally,
the hops are very backward considering the petted of the
year, and nothing but really fine weather can make
any amends. With dry and sunny days and a warm
temperature some gardens may still improve a good deal,
but if we have a " wet picking " the crops will fall far
short of the moderate expectation' formed a fortnight
ago. The crop will, as a rule, be extremely uneven this
season, both as regard' quantity and quality. Quantity
must, in any case, be short, taking the crop generally
throughout the hop counties, and unless there comes a
marked change in the weather, the planters will be dis-
appointed in their anticipations of a really fine sample.
We heartily trust that a change will take place, and that
a fine " picking " will be vouchsafed.—Sassr-r. Adcatiacr.

THE DISTURBANCES IN CANDIA.
Accounts from Athens of the 4th state that the
general assembly of the people of Candle has re-
fused to accept the proposals made by the Egyptian
general. The Pacha of Epirus having attempted to
force the Christians under his jurisdiction to sign
an act of fidelity to the Sultan, the inhabitants o
40 villages are said to have abandoned their homes
and to have taken refuge in the mountains, at
the same time proclaiming their independence.
Other advicea from the island of Candia, dated the
3rd, state that the Turkish army has made demon-
strations against the insurgents, who were distri-
buted into three camps, and were preparing for
action. It is asserted that the insurgents have re-
fused a remission of taxes, still persisting in their
demand of the union of Candia to Greece.
According to letters of the Ist from Athens, re-
ceived in Trieste, the Greek government has re-
plied to the two notes delivered by the Ottoman
ambassador that the constitution interdicted it from
taking any measure of coercion against the press,
and that the national guards who went to the
aid of the Candiotes were natives of the island.
Fears were entertained that the incident would
bring on the rupture of diplomatic relations be-
tween Turkey and Greece. The Generals Sonolensk,
Pants, and Spiromlioe have been commissioned to
examine the state of the army and to make provi-
sional preparations. Advices from Constantinople
of the Ist say that Omer Pasha was to make a tour
of inspection in Bosnia and the Herzegovine.
According to information from Constantinople,
Mustapha-Pacha left on Saturday for Candia. His
instructions as to the treatment of the inhabitants
are most lenient. The Cretan Mussulmans of
the country districts have en Inoue abandoned
their homes and property in order to place them-
selves in safety in the fortified towns.

THE YORKSHIRE HARVEST. —The state of the
weather has now become a matter of very serious import
to the farmers of the two agricultural sections of this
county. The Doncaster week has come—the period when
the harvest•home suppers are usually held—and fully one-
half the crop is uncut, and but a very small portion of it
secured. The floods have receded, certainly, but the
almost constant showers, with a warm temperature, render
harvest work tub)* in the extreme. Corn in some parts
bag never been fairly dry for the last three weeks, sad
sprouting has in consequence been far too general. The
farmers' hopes were all centred upon the new moon of
Sunday, which period was generally looked to for a change
of weather. Sunday, however, was wet, and up to noon
yesterday rain still tell. There wee, however, an improve-
ment in the afternoon, when the Pun broke forth, lot the
wind still Inept due south. Baia, however, hod quite
mama.

FATAL OCCURRENCE AT SOMERSET-HOUSE.

INQUEST.—(THIS DAY.)
This morning Mr. S. F. Langham, deputy coroner
for Westminster, held an inquest at St. Mary's Vestry-
room, Strand, relative to the death of Mr. Lewis Broad-
bent, l years of age, who died on a staircase in
Somerset-bouse on Saturday morning last. A brief as
of this deplorable Cate appeared in yesterday's

Treu.
he deceased had for a few weeks only been a clerk in
the Registrar-General's office, and was known to compara-
tively but few of his colleagues. On Saturday morning
he left his lodgings at 33, Gower-place, Euston-square,
at 20 minutes to 10, having previously arranged
for the Sunday dining, and stating that he should be
home to tea that afternoon. He left in apparently good
health, and walked down to Somerset-house to fulfil his
duties. He arrived there about 10 minutes past 10, and
while ascending the staircase, suddenly fell down in a state
of insensibility, striking his head and side against a door-
post on the first landing on the way to his office. Mr.
Kew (also a government clerk) followed deceased, and
when he fell rendered all assistance in his power. He
obtained brandy, vinegar, and water, sonic portion of
which was administered, and in the meantime a medical
gentleman was sent for, but life was extinct.
Mr. George Beaman, physician, of 3, Henrietta-street,
Covent-garden, deposed to visiting the deceased at a
quarter past 10 on Saturday morning, at Somerset House.
Life had ceased but the body was warm. There were no
marks of external violence. The examination after death
showed that an artery supplying the heart had given way
(ruptured) and the heart itself was diseased. To inc
cause the death was attributable. Every other organ of
the body was healthy. The stomach evidenced the con-
tents of a hearty breakfast, which, with an enlargement
of the heart for many months, might have facilitated the
death.
Verdict " Natural death from disease of the heart."

We learn by Atlantic Telegraph that the North
German Lloyd's steamer Hermann, from Southampton on
29th ult., arrived at New York yesterday. These steamers
will now be regularly announced by telegraph.
THE EMISSION MUSURIL—An inquest was held
last night, and the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful
murder" against the sempstress, Maria Jones, who stabbed
Mrs. Clark at Edgbaston on the Lt inst. The evidence
confirmed the plea of insanity.
