During the terrible gale which 'swept the
Channel and wad el France on Sunday night, from the
W. S. W., a meet =siting see= was witaemed at Bee•
144the,111 brief y reporfsd by as on Monday. At about belt-
past S o'clock a sier which proved to be ea SAO&
collier, called the Usty Son, beroaSkie to Tsigalstootbi
bound for Dieppe, from Leith. Captain Perim. master,
WAS observed a the port, butretung with the storm, en-
deavouring to run into the boa beer for shelter, but for
some reason be missed the entraernaed drove broadside au
to the sande, about 200 yards to the eastward of the elan
Jetty, is front of the Establehinent du Mar. Captain
Clarke, of the steamahipLeopard. belonging to thelleneral
Steam Navigation Company, lying iii the port, was among
the first to remit r assistance. Observing from the end of the
jetty the condition of the unfort unatevaaal, Imeolleeted the
stn of his crew, and ending, with the ship's life-fines and
buoys, that it was impossible to reach the ve eel, he and
his men made for the English lifeboat stationed on the
pier (named after Captain Manby), but were unable to
get it out without the permission of the port authorities
who could not be found. His chief mate, Mr. Edwanl
Ucaiman, and the crew then ran round to the Humane
Society's house oa the sands, where there is another life-
boat stationed ; they assisted in launching it from the
beach into deep water, and volunteered to go out, but the
Frenchmen rejected their services; the lifeboat, however,
not being properly managed, drifted ashore. In the mean-
while Captain Clarke fired eight signal rockets with some
spun yarn attached, but they failed to reach the stranded
ship. At the suggestion of the boatswain. the crew ran
round to the H umane Society's boathouse, and brought back
amortaniadrecketapparatus, with miles, warps, to., but
no powder. Some, however, was obtained from the
Lcoi aid, and the tint shot tired from the minter by Mr.
Bell man succeeded in throwing the line over the forestay
of the wreck of the schooner, which her crew at once
hauled in and made fast to the warp; they, however,
appeared taro fright• nett to trust themselves to the basket
crudle lent for their it.liveranoe, when Mr. Beaman
end to be hauled on board, and in a few minutes
tie p eeple co ilected on the jetty witnessed his safe transit
to the helpless veael. IL, then sat to work assisting the
shipwrecked people. who were eventually one after the
other, seven in number (including the captain), safely
hauled whore on to the pier, and lastly ho was pulled
ashore about half-past II o'clock. amidst loud cheering from
the people present. 1.7 al:appily about one hourprevious they
witumied a painful sight near the eutranceof the harbour.
The lifeboat Captain Manby, when liberated by the port
authorities, wee manned by Frenchmen. They pulled
out to era near to the lighthouse on the western pier,
where the heavy rollers setting in threw her broad ride on
to the breakers, where she immediately capeised, and two
of her crew met with a watery grave ; the rest saved
themselves by clinging to the lefeboat until eminence
came. It seems that her proper course ought to have been
routd the cast pier. where she would base been sheltered
item the storm. and thus got to the leeward of the wrolt,
but it is stated that the men were not acquainted with the
nansgcment of the boat. The inhabitants of Bollegle
speak in the highest bums of the crew of the Leopard.

llarlie Awe, alias Martin leery Visa, 22, was
charged, upon an indictment, and also by the coroner'e
inquisiton, with the wilful murder el David Warty, at
Kingston, near Brighton, on the Mk a October.
pnseeer is rather a dttleakiag young man. He
awned quite cool and otited during the trial, and
Oradell riot guilty in a Arm, loud voles.
Serjeaut Sleigh was specially retained on behalf the
magistrates of Brighton, with Mr. Lord, to conduct the
prosecution; Mr. Bosley and Mr. Blake were counsel for
the prisoner.
Time were upwards of 20 witnesses in attendance for
the pig:mention, but the facts of the ease lay in a mar-
paiatively email compass, and they will be fresh in the
'atelier tieu of the public. The deceased was a labouring
min about 'sixty can of age, and be had been in the
service of Mr. Modem an extensive farmer in the
risighbouthood of Brighton for many years, and
tole a Tiny got d chancier. Three of his eons were also
in the tame employment, and it was the custom of Mr.
Beduin to ray them all their wages on Friday once •
fortnight. 3'he prisoner was also employed be Mr.
Hodson. and for sans time it appealed th it be had lodged
in a cottage occupied by the deceased and his wife in the
neighbourhood ol Lewes, but in consequeum of some dis-
pute between the pti.oner and the husband respecting a
deg, the primmer wrest away, and took • lodging at another
cottage not far from that of the Balder. He wal, of
noun, aware of the arrangement made by Mr. Hod-on as
to the payment of the wages of his labourers. and Vie
suggestion on the pat of the prosecution was that the
murder had been committed for the purpose of obtaining
),'session of the money that was paid to the dammed by
his matter on the night previous to his being murdered. It
teemed that the deceased left hie cottage about 5 cecina
in the evening of the 9th October, to go to reoeive hie
w ages, and he was raid by one of Mr. Hodson's sons, the
suns of 21.11.. Cd., which eas the amountdue to the deceased
and his two sons for their services for the previous fort-
night, and he started on his wry home about a quarter to
six o'clock in the eve g, and was never again seen
ahem Although the deceased war a very steady and
regular man, it seemed lather unaccountable that Ms ab-
sence from home: during the night did not create any
alarm in his family, and on the following morning hie
two tone, aged stout twelve and fourteen respectively,
proceeded to their work at Mr. Madames as usual. They
bad to go along rathi r • lonely spot, and when they had
peeved' d about half way from their cottage to Mr. Hod-
son's they observed something lying in a heap on the
path, and on coming up to the object they were horrified
at dist:meting that it was the dead body of their father.
An claim was at once raised, and resistance was obtained,
and it w se thin ascertained that the death had been 01011•
stoned by a gun-shot wound, which had apparently been
ied at him to m defend and at a short distance, aml the
tedy was horribly mutilated, and three bullet,' were found
in mfievent pits of it and the clothing of the deceseet.
Ilia pockets bad also been rifled, and all the money he hat
it ceived from Mr. Bodeen on the previous evening was
one, and it was evident that robbery was the object of
the foul act that had been committed. The evidence
against the prisoner was entirely circumstantial, bat it
was of • very cogent character. The principal rine' re-
lit d ui on by the prosecution for euteeantiating the charge
against the prisoner may he thus Ptsta.l. It appears thet
cn the night of the yielder the primmer left the cottage
where lie lodged, taking with him a gun, and stating that
he was gt ing to Brighton upon Rime business, and that
he should not retain until the following morning. Re
did, however, return home about nine o'clock, and at this
time he bed no gun with him, and he actenintel for this
by stating that Le bad left it with his bro-
ther at Brighton, and as there was nettling un-
usual or exti &ordinary in his demeanour, no slop:Atm
was entertained be the truth of his story, anti matters
rest. din this state wntil from some circumstances that
canes to the knowledge of the polices, they made inquiries
at Bright. n, and ascertained that his story about leaving
the gun he had taken out with him on the night of the
murder with his brother was not true, and this
se. wed to have Amt attracted suspicion towards hen.
It should be stated that near the dead body of
the deceased there was found the broken stock of
a gun, but the barrel was not diecovered, and evidence
was given that this stock bad formed part of the
same gun 14,:nnighig to the prisoner, and which be had
taken out with him on the night of the murder. This
was, of course, a very important fact, and its value was
very mach strengthened by the discovery that the bullet.
fouled in the body of the deceased corresponded exactly
with other bullets that ware found by the police in • box
in the prisoner's lodging.
A great many witnesses were examined for the
of proving the above facts. Among them was a la=
man, named Crocker, who proved that the stook of the
gun found near the body of the deceased was part of a
gun he sold to the premier a week before the murder for
Its. This witness also stated that on the morning atter
the murder he was at work in the same Geld as the pr-
toner, and a man named Wickham called out to the latter,
"Joey Brown, was it you that murdered red Bailey r.
and he Replied, "No, 11 went round the other way."
Scene other evidence wee adduced for the prosecution,
and at the rising of the court the trial was adjourned.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE BY A FATHER. AND A SON.
At the Southwark police-court yesterday, Ueorge lack.
17, was placed at the bar before Mr. Burch:um charts%
with swallowing • quantity of poison with intent to com-
mit suicide. Sergeant Yallop, itt Id, into.sue 1 his worshi„,
that the dun ge N.;ainst Vie Ir.:seem 11.1.4 merriment id with
mysternus cucunt•tanees. nit a quarter to eight on
the previous evening witness was called to a house at
Backside, where the prisoner's father resided, and on
approaching the slot be met the latter being carried by
two men, who told him that he had swallowed poison
and cut his throat, also that lie had poisoued his sou (the
prisoner), who was still iu the house. Having given in-
ructions to another constable to accompany the fatherto
the hi spited, witness entered the house and found the pri-
soner lying near the fireplace wiennacious, and smelling
strongly of rum and laudanum. Witness instantly con-
veyed him to Guy's Hospital, when the stomach pump
was used, and as soon as he sufliciently recovered be re-
moved the prisoner to the station-house. Witness
added, that on further examination of the room
where he found the prisoner, he perceived a
half-pint bottle, which had contained rum and
something else, hut the heat of the tire had dried up all
the liquid. Mr. Burnham asked it the father was dewl.
Witness replied that when he called at the hospital in the
morning he was not dead. The poison had all been ex-
tracted from his stomach, hut there were three cute on
the throaLneilberof which he understood to be dangerous.
Mr. Burnham observed that he had some recollection of
this family. Did not the prisoner's mother murder soma
of Ler children some time ago Sergeant Yellop replied
that about three years ago last August the unfortunate
woman murdered two of her children by cutting their
throats in bed, and attempted to murder a third child
early in the morning. She was tried at the Central
Criminal Court, and the jury acquitted her on the
ground of insanity. Kr. Buchan' said be hid
some recollection of the poor woman. When
brought before him at the limn she was in a most deplo-
rable state. Her husband also appeared almost distracted
at ending his young children with their throats cut. His
worship then asked the pri•ioner what explanation he had
to make. He said that on the previous evening his father
brought in some rum, sea a ter =zing some in a cup,
Landed it to him. As soon as he drank a little he beam.

WS A RAILWAY COll PAN Y. —At the
Dover Quarter Sessions en Monday, before Sir William
Bodkin, Recorder of Dover, and • bench of magistrates,
Thomas Mason, 30. who in October lust had been a servant
iu the South Eastern Company's servim, was charged
with stealing railway coupons entitling the holders to
travel from Dover to London. on the 'laid of October last.
The pri,oin r phaded not guilty. Mr. Ribton (specially
n tabled) end Mr. E. T. Smith, instructed by Mr. Stevens,
from the office of the solicitor to the Saida Eastern
Railway Company, appeared for the prosecution;
Mr. th.rrow appear( d for the prisoner. Tho mo-
rons which the prisoner was indicted for steal-
ing Rained the lust coupsn of the book. Thew
coupons when iesned in the fir-t instance at the London-
bridge Terminus iontnin eight or more leaves, as the tam
may be, entitling the holders thereof to travel from
Loudon to particular continental t rmiui, breaking the
journey into eight or more stages, if they are so disposed,
provided that all of them do not ex mW the limits of a
month. It was the duty of the prisoner, as collector of
tickets at Dover, to take the tickets from those passengers
who travelled by the mail train. The tickets of those
riaseengers who travelled by ordinary trainswere collected
in London. And on the part of the prosecution it was
alleged that the prisoner must have kept back some of
those which he had so collected, and that he subsequently
sold them to other persons who, he had found out, were about
to travel from Dover to London. In this particular in-
stance be sold a second-ekes ticket so obtained to a gen
tleman whom be saw in the Terminus Hotel for three
shillings and sixpeam, the regular price being fifteen
shillings. When the prisoner was apprehended and
charged with the fraud he said he was not guilty, but
when searched two other tickets, supposed to have been
obtained in the same manner, were found at his lodgings.
The superintendent of the station proved the prisoner had
only been twelve months in the company's serve*. The
prisoner was found guilty, and was sentenced to five
yews' penal servitude. It was elicited that although the
prisoner bad scarcely been a year in the corepany's ser-
vice there can be no doubt he had been en this
system of fraud for some time, as, al salary
was only a guinea a week, a sum of forty pounds in gold
was found upon his person, besides two savings bank
looks in his name, by which it appeared that he had been
pay'ng small sums of five and ten pounds for several
months past into the banks at Dover. Ho seemed over-
man. at the sentence.

RAILWAY COLLISION NEAR BOLTON.—A ocml
train, constAing of about a dozen waggons, left
Blackbunt about five o'elo.k on Monlay morning,
and moctuled safely until it reached Brounley
CIOSA, about the miles front Bolton. There it
came in contact with • pilot engine, which had been
sent up from the latter place, and was standing on
the same line. The Blackburn engine was going at the
rate of 20 miles an hour, and ran Into the tender of the
deof engine. So violent was the concussion that the ten-
r was knocked off its axle, and its wheels got under-
neath the Blackburn engine and carried it obi the rails
right to the edge of the embankment, but fortunately not
Over it. The driver of the pilot engine, a man named
Ireland, and the other driver and the stokers were much
shakos, but none of them seriously injured. A vod deal
of damage was done to the engines, and the tralgc on the
line was interrupted for the greater part of the day.

14P-Rlol'B CA' )I.LIERY AectliElet.—An notitlont of
an alarming character occurred a few days agoin an iron-
stone colliery in Shropshire. About a dozen men were
employed, when the gas in the workings tired, and all of
them were injured. It is hoped, however, they will re-
cover. The RWlirsgliwo Amnia: says:—" The part of the
mine where the ignition occurred was a new opening, at a
considerable distance and in au opposite direction from
the older workings, in which, also there were men em-
ployed at the same time. In the part where the accident
happened there were usually three men set to ' holing
but in this instance, to expedite the work, there were tea
men and a youth engaged at this spot. The company had
with them a safety-lamp, but we are not certain whether
the lamp was burning at the time or not. It would sown
there were candles in use. Certain it is the gas took tire
with uto rrible dreet. The men employed Beano SOO to 600
yards off, in another part of the mine, felt the sudden
motion end draw ou the air around them; but the victims
ed in the burning Clement Were odiously injured.
Sir of them are married mot. Thu eleven are all inure or

A ItAtLWAY DIsAMTER PIO:VENTED.— On Sun-
day teeming au arch of the Islackburn anal Clitherue
hallway gave way, and had it not hom for the exercise
of a tittle forethought by a Labouring roan the accident
might here remlttsl in the low of life. A p.iisetiger train
stated from Illackinirii for Whalley, Clithenst, awl Chit-
burn. A wan was tom to Ite running on the permanent
wily, and beckoning to the driver to stop. drivac
brought the train to a standstill, when the man told him
that it would be unsafe to proceed, as an iron arch which
stuns the high road was Woken. Thu train was taken
back to Blackburn, iind the arch was examined. it way
ren3ked from one rids, to the ether, and the probability is,
that had the train proceeded the bridge would have given
way. It is believed that the arch broke during the night,
owing to a very heavy train paring over it, drawn by
throe large engines. _ _
