CONCLUSION OF SRN INQUIRY INTO THE LOOS 07
Tag ANCIIC.—On Saturday last the Board of Trade inquiry
into the loss of this steamer ma oceoluded at Hull, after
having lasted eight days. Captain Hanle, nautical assessor
to the Board of Trade, has voted in the inquiry, along with
the Hull stipendiary magistrate ; and Mr. O'Dowd, barrister,
bee conducted the proceedings. The evidence of the
venom witnesses has gone to prove that no effort was made
to lave the lives of the female plummier'. It appears that
almost immediately after the vessel struck the captain and
crew made for the rigging of the vessel's masts as a place of
safety. The lady peasengen, who were in the cabin, than
cams on the deck, but no effort was made to save them, and a
heavy sea came and swept them overboard, and they were
drowned. The evidence with regard to the deck cargo Wei
at • seraewhat conflicting character. The stipendiary =-
ginning and Captain Harris have intimated their intention
of regyesting to the Board of Trade that Captain Bowes has
neemmlited • default," and the owners of the Arctic will
bees to pay the cons of the inquiry.—Manchmier Examiner.
A &mums MUNICIPAL Qtrangm..—A very ugly
municipal quarrel came before the nooginrates of Ponte-
fract on Saturday. The complaimat was Mr. Baratow, •
builder, and • liberal member of the town council ; the
defendant, Mr. James Clough, • solicitor, and an
Cfor the conservative party in the borough.
offenee was committed on Thursday, the Ist of
November, when, as the witnesses stated, the town was in •
peat state of excitement, owing to the municipal elections,
sod the offecoe was • very serious one indeed. Late
at night, it seems, Mr. Barstow was asked by
Mr. Clough to came to the door of the New Elephant
Hotel, a home where Mr. Barstow Will with his friends.
Immediately he tame to the door two men, Heckingbottom
and Sudbury, fell upon and brutally ill-seed him. The
complainant concluded that Mr. Clough was concerned in
the assault, but from a statement made by the defendant,
it seems he only acted for the men so far as
to ask Mr. Barstow to come to the door of the hotel;
about the assault be knew nothing, and, indeed, he was
assaulted nearly as violently as the complainant. On this
statement being made • consultation took place, and the
charge against Mr. Clongb was withdrawn, on his agreeing to
pay • fine of 251., and giving evidence meant Heckingbottom
end Sudbury.

"'.IIIILAN6II OLT DEATH FROM DROWNING.—Mr.
George Pope, of Kingston Deverill, came by his death in a
very sudden end melancholy manner on Monday last. The
lamented gentleman, it appears, left bin home on horseback
about mid.day, se was hie custom. and after spending about
en hour sad a half in riding round his farm and in giving di-
rections to his labourers, he dismounted. tied his horse up in
the vicinity of some new buildings, end proceeded on foot
throw some fields in the direction of others of his labourers.
There is a dead well in one of the fields through which
he had to pees ; this was but partially covered in,
and it is supposed by many that he must have
either walked across the well unwittingly, end have
been precipitated into it through the giving way
of some portion of the imperfect covering, or that in
examining the well for some purpose lie accidentally slipped
into it and was drowned. The well is about forty feet deep,
and wedelns thirty feet of water. An inquest was held by
George Sylvester, Esq., coroner, on the following Wednes-
day mornieg, when& verdict of " Found drowned" was re-
termed. The deceased gentleman wee universally respected
as a kind master and a good and hearty neighbour, and hie
lass is most severely tab.—Salisbury Journal.
DEATH ortoW Farrar.—An inquest wax held by
R.ll. Wilson, Eery. at North Burcombe, on Monday last, on
the body of Edwin Marks, aged 21 yearn, who died under cir-
cumstances detailed in the following endemic Marks,
the father of the deceased, stated that about half-pest seven
o'clock on Saturday evening, his son came home from his
work at Wilton-park. When he opened the door he asked
where his sisters were, sod on being told that they were not
in, but would be soon, he walked across the room and took
off his great cost. He was standing behind witness, who
heard him say, "I cannot make it out. I have seen
a woman coming down Church-hill ; she came out
of the bushes and walked ten or twelve yards
before me, and then went into the bushes again, and I
can't tell where she went to. You can't think how
she frightened me." Immediately after saying this he
dropped down, felling his whole length on the floor. Wit-
ness immediately raised him tip. He was quite stiff, and
bad strung oonynbions. Mr. French, of Winos, surgeon,
who was sent for, and smived in shout three-quarters of an
hour, mid—l found deceased in a state of rigid convulsion ;
had him taken upstairs end undressed, though
with great difficulty, on account of the rigidity
of the extremities ; be had no pulse, no power
of swallowing. I was with him more than half an
hour. I w a more perfect state of convulsion almost
amounting to catalepsy. From whet I have beard I should at-
tribute this state to fright. 1 have made inquiries at Wilton,
and find that he appeared in his weal health, and that he
had had nothing to drink. The jury returned • verdict of
" Died from convulsions, me:Wooed by fright acting upon
the nervous system."—Saliabury Journal.
SHOCKING AOCIDENT. —On Saturday morning,
shortly after eleven o'clock, as a poor fellow, • labourer in
the employ of Mann. Pratt and Sewall, paving contractors,
was drawing a truck filled with noose along Henrietta.
street, Covent-garden, he was overtaken by a heavy waggon
filled with baskets belonging to Mr. Lobjoit, of Upper Rich.
mod-rod, Putney. The wheel of the waggon caught the
wheel of the thick, end jammed the man in such • way as
to bring his head between the spokes of the waggon, which
still went on, completely dashing the poor fellow's heed to
pieces, •mid tiering it from his body. He died instantly, and
the driver of the was takes into custody.
Tars OOLLIERY Exrr.onrow ne Sours WALER,
The dreadful explorion which we briefly reposed kit week
oft-lured in whet ads ailled the nine feet rem of the lower pit
of the Lower Daffryn Colliery, on the west aide of No. 1
heading, where a van accumulation of gas bad taken place,
judging from the effects of the explosion. Soon after the
accident the whole of the colliers, between 400 sod 500,
came to the venieee, and then • band of even went down to
ascertain the extant of the explosion. They found the
venous dells in No. 1 heading all blows and the
air-crowing formed of half-inch pieta of down,on, all
crumbled up like • plea, of parchment. On looking into
the various stalls they found a number of men, some
dead tind some aloe, who were, as speedily as possible,
removed to the air shaft, and thence to the sur-
face. By three o'clock no fewer than eight dead bodies
bad been fouad, end a great many removed who were more
or less severely buret. After scorching every stall, it was
discovered that a boy was still among, and the search was
renewed, and towards seven o'clock the lifeless body of the
little fellow wee found under a large piece of coal. The
scene which took place at the top of the pit, when the
bodies were being brought up, was of the most heart-reading
kind—mothers and children crying in the most bootie:
manner, believing that their husbands and fathers were
among the unfortunate sufferers. This scene was rendered
the more distressing on account of the difficulty of identify-
ing the men, so severely were they burnt about the head
and face. On Wednesday afternoon a coroner's inquest wee
opened, and the iodise viewed, when the inquiry was ad-
journed for • week. The following are the names of the
unfortunate sufferers:—Thomas Even, 31, wife and four
children ; John Reodall, 25, single ; John Davie', 33,
single ; Richard Williams, 15. single; George Morgan, 11
John Box, 35, wife sod child ; John Regan, 62, wife and
throe children ; and Evan Thomas, 34, wife bat no family.
The Si/earn Gazette says :—" The Emperor of
Austria, on proceeding to Warsaw, stopped at Sheerniewiee
to breakfast and change his costume, and whilst hie Ma-
jesty was so engaged a smell box containing papers end a
large sum in money was stolen from the imperial waggon.
Some days later a person went to the cspuchin church at
Warmer, and pve to a monk, to whom he oonfeesed, the
mosey to restore, bet the papers were taken away." The
Courrur of Warsaw has the following paragraph, which to
a certain extent confirms the above statement :—" A rather
large sum of money was stolen from a high penman*
daring his journey to Warsaw, but was fully restored to its
owner through one et the capuchins of the town."

Au instalment of 26 per cent. fell due on Satur-
day on the East Indian Railway Company's deben-
ture loan of 1,500,0001. ; only a comparatively
small sum, however, remained to be paid.
About 35,000/. in bar gold was taken from the
Bank on Saturday for transmission abroad. The
282,5001. by the Swifteure also came to hand, but
this was sold a week ago on the announcement of
the arrival of the vessel off the coast.

With the exception of this sum, which was
included in our last weekly summary, there were
no arrivals of specie worth mentioning last week.
At St. Petersburg on Friday the exchange on
London rose to Siitd. Money is reported to be
exceedingly scarce.
The stoppage is announced of Mr. Henry
Holmaear, sugar refiner, of Finch-street, White-
chapel. It is said that he will pay about 12s. &I.
in the pound. The amount of his liabilities is nut
believed to be large. His suspension, however,
has caused another firm to succumb, to whom he is
indebted, viz., Messrs. J. and E. Williams, sugar
agents, of Fenchurch-street. The amount of their
liabilities has not yet transpired, but is not heavy.
A statement of the accounts of the latter house is
being prepared by Messrs. Theodore Jones and Co.,
accountants, of 26, Lombard-street. A satisfactory
dividend seems to bo expected. Annexed is a copy
of the circular issued :

137, Footluuch-vtreet, Nov. 10, 1860.

Gentlsmen,—We regret to iorm failureo that' we heve made
• very heavy loss thmugh the of H. Holmsear, and,
although froth present appearances we confidently believe
there will be no deficiency in our estate, we deem it but an
act of prudence to suspeed our payments till we know for
certain the results.—We are, gentlemen, mar obedient
servants, J. and E. WILLIAMS.

We understand that a dividend of 4a. in the
pound will shortly be paid to the creditors of Mr.
K H. Strange, grocer, draper, and banker, of
Ampthill, who failed about three months ego with
liabilities amounting to 15,1201., and meets to
4,796/. The creditors, upwards of 300 in number.
mostly reside at Ampthill, and are persona of small
means.

In the Bankruptcy Court on Saturday there was a
dividend sitting in the case of Messrs. Cnylitz and
Simond, merchants, who failed about four years
ago. Dividends to the amount of about 26. in the
pound have been paid. The official now
states that the sum in hand is too small to be
susceptible of apportionment to each creditor. The
liabilities of the firm, it will be remembered, were
about 100,0001. Cuylits committed suicide, and
Simoud's certificate was suspended for five years.
The following letter from the Secretary of the
Gellivara Company (Limited), dated Nov. 9, has
been posted in the Stock Exchange :
In reply to your letter of the Bth inst., referring to a
certain report, namely, that " this company has obtained
the long-expected concession from the King of Sweden," I
am directed to inform you that the said report is premature.
The preliminary steps, however, for procuring the necessary
concessions, privileges, &c., have been taken, with every
prospect of success, and immediately upon it being kaowa
that they have been obtained I will communicate the fact
to you.
Au extraordinary meeting of the Trust and Loan
Company of Upper Canada is called for the 30th
inst., to declare a dividend.
An extraordinary meeting of the Thames Graving
Dock Company (Limited) is called for the 16th

money on mortgage to pay off existing liabilities.

The interest is advertised on Cork and Youghal
