THE STEAMERS ON THE THAMES.

The numerous small steamers now running on the river
between London and Westminster Bridges have not only
proved very injurious to a numerous class of watermen ply-
ing at the various stairs, but have now become a serious an-
noyance to passengers and amateurs proceeding backwards
and forwards on business or pleasure, and several aceidente
have already occurred, while numbers who could not with
safety proceed below bridge, and enjoy the pleasures of the
stream and the soft breezes, in consequence of the heavy
swell raised by the large steam-vessels, and who have been
long in the habit of rowity, about the stream above London
Bridge, where they considered the.nselves free from danger,
as only a few Greenwich and Woolwich steamers occasion-
ally passed, arc now subject to danger, as well as the water-
men and their fares, by the constant and rapid navigation of
the small steamers. As numerous companies are about to
be formed for the building of steamers to ply above bridge,
ostensibly to benefit the watermen, but which will really
almost prove their total ruin, regulations, which have
been so long called for below bridge will be absolutely
necessary for the navigation of the steamers, both as regards
their speed, and in order to prevent racing between rival
boats. It ought to be recollected that many still prefer a
short trip in a wherry, free from steam and smoke, to a
steam-boat ; and the old principle of law, that no one has a
right to exercise his calling to the injury of another, should
be adhered to. The steam-boat companies, however, appear
to think that the river was formed for them alone, for they
appear determined that everything else shall give way to
their vessels. If a boat is in the way filled with passengers
—no matter whether they be females, children, or men—
a cry of " Ahoy ! ahoy! " is raised, with a violent wave of
the hand. The waterman is compelled to use most stre-
nuous exertions to prevent being run down, in which ho
is not always successful, and away goes the steamer, never
stopping, and dashing the spray right and left. The
coal lightermen scarcely ever proceed up and down the
pool without being wet through by the swell dashing over
them and their craft are often stove in. Others working
in barges and lighters are frequently knocked off a plank,
and the Thames police cannot even pursue their business
in the prevention and detection of a crime without being
subjected to inconvenience, and a day seldom passes without
their galleys, large and stout boats, being half filled with
water and the officers wetted. The frequent loss of life, the
most serious evil of the whole, is too well known to be dwelt
upon here. All these things might be avoided by a few
wholesome regulations, the principal one being a diminished
speed above Greenwich, and which would only make a diffe-
rence of a few minutes in the duration of each voyage.
Among other accidents which have recently occurred the
Celerity, Captain Jones, has been run into by the Diamond,
a Gravesend steamer, and one of her masts carried away,
her bulwarks stove in, and otherwise damaged. A few days
since a Thames police galley, containing a surveyor named
Lewis, two constables, and a prisoner, was run foul of by
the Queen Adelaide steamer of Hungerford-market. The
boat was stove in and the watermen had a narrow escape.
Early in last week a young man was rowing about between
London and Southwark-bridges, in a skiff belonging to Mr.
White, a coal-merchant, of Dowgate-wharf, Upper Thames-
street, when the Cygnet London and Westminster steamer
ran headforemost into the skiff, stove her sides together,
and sunk her. The young man saved himself by clinging to
the bows of the Cygnet, and was taken into the vessel in a
state of great exhaustion. It appears that the watermen
are liable to be called upon to serve her Majesty in the
Royal Navy whenever hostilities commence, and as they
have now become greatly reduced by the introduction of
steamers running short distances, without receiving any
compensation, they intend to memoralize the Government
to remove the liability to which they are are subjected,
and which, they are of opinion, should no longer exist, the
prhilege granted to them in consequence having ceased.—

THE ENFIELD CATASTROPHE.--MCS. Pegler,
the lady whose life was so desperately attempted by Buis-
sc n, a Frenchman, last week, who, on failing in his attempt,
committed suicide, he has ever since been in most distress-
ing state. The awful shock completely overpowered her ;
she has not spoken since, and seems nearly unconscious of
all around her. Though the coroner's inquest, in his case,
rt turned a verdict of" temporary insanity," there were cir-
cumstances connected with the outrage of very considera-
ble aggravation. Buisson had paid his addresses to Mrs.
Peeler some time, and had been received with favour. At
Mnlsummer last, when the lady was in town, he met at
her residence in Finsbury-square a young lady of great at-
tractions, whom at the request of Mrs. Pegler, he under-
took to see home. On the way he wished to take a coach,
which the young lady declined, but subsequently he forced
her into one of the new cabs, and drove to a house of bad
character, where he made most improper overtures, which
she indignantly resisted. The young lady threatened to ac-
quaint Mrs. Pegler with his conduct, but delayed doing so
for some time. In the meantime his attentions were con-
•tinued to Mrs. Pegler, and received as before ; but, on
learning what his conduct had been, she instantly broke
with him, and he then adopted the diabolical resolution of
putting an end to her existence, which he attempted in the
manner which has been already made public. When the
attack was made, in the agony of her alarm Mrs. Pegler
promised to forgive everything, but even this could not ar-
rest the frantic rage of the wretched man.
if we wished for the dow•nfal of the Church, we
could not do better than counsel the Clergy to proceed in
their foolish career. Look at the degrading position of the
Moderator of the Church—the highest officer of the Esta-
blishment—and a satisfactory proof is afforded of the truth
of our statement. The Rev. Dr. Gardner, of Bothwell,

like his brethren, was a keen partizan of the Tory candi-
date, Mr. Lockhart. He canvassed for him, and almost
preached for him ; one of his parishioners had determined
to be neutral, but the Rev. Moderator bad it in his power
to make this voter's situation uncomfortable, and hence, in
obedience to the wishes or commands of the Rev. Mode-
rator, he gave his vote fur Lockhart. What has been the
consequence ? The Rev. Moderator has been burnt in
effigy in his own parish, and his usefulness as a Minister of
religion is gone. Turn again to the case of the Rev. Mr.
Smith, of Cathcart. This gentleman is registered as the
occupant of the manse and glebe of Cathcart, in Renfrew-

pancy was put to him.—Scots Times.
TORY RE-ACTION. —lt has lately been the
" Cuckoo cry" among the Conservatives of this borough,
that that strange revulsion of public feeling, distinguished
by the name of " a re-action," had taken place in the opi-
nions of the inhabitants with respect to political matters ;
and it was only necessary to prove the fact, by showing in
how large a minority the Liberals would be left in the first
trial of strength upon any question containing within itself
the elements of political contest. The opportunity of test-
ing the truths of this assertion has soon presented itself.
Six vacancies having occurred on the Board of Guardians
for the town, which is not incorporated with any Union
under the new law, and the election to such offices I e'ng

in the hands of tho rate-payer;,ice-'loriessetTbout th;
task of enlightening the returning constituency upcn tEe
quality of the discovery they had made, by raising up an
opposition. It would appear, however, that as the hour
of trial approached, certain fears and misgivings sprung up
in the minds of the Tories as to the issue of the contest. They
thought a little prejudice against the Liberal Cmclidates
would do no harm to themselves, but a trifle to their oppc-
nents. The Liberal Candidates, however, beat their un-
generous opponent!. Although the Tories were well beaten
in their contest for the ♦acant offices of 'Guardians of the
Pcor, yet they again made a show of resistance to the
wishes of the majority, by putting up a candidate to cot -
test the Town-Councillorship, vacant by the lamented death
of Mr. R. P. \\Taller. The attempt, however, did not
meet with the anticipated success.—SuAlk Chronicle.
