INDI k BOARD, JULY 28.
A dispatch has-been received at this Office from Col. Chesney,
R. A., in command of the Euphrates expedition, dated Euphrates
steamer Anna, 28th May, 1836, of which the following, with its
enclosure, are copies:—

- Euphrates Steamer, Anna, May 28, 1836.
is with feelings of the deepest regret, that I do myself
the honour of informing you that the Tigris steamer was totally lost
during a hurricane of indescribable violence, which, after the short
struggle of about eight minutes, sent a fine vessel to the bottom in
about five* fathoms water, and deprived his Majesty of fifteen va-
luable men, with five natives in addition.
Illy reports up to the 1-ith instant, at Deir, will have informed
you that all was going on as successfully as the most sanguine
could possibly desire. We found the Arabs well disposed, and
quite ready to form depots for us of wood, charcoal, bitumen,
and lignite coal, all met in abundance, and tried with complete
success. In addition to these marked advantages the survey had
been carried 509 miles down the Great River, which seemed in all
respects favourable ; in short all was continued prosperity up to
the afternoon of the 21st inst., when it pleased God to send the
calamitous event of which it is now my duty to give a feeble sketch.
A little after one, P. M., on that melancholy day, the flat boats,
being a little a-head, and the Tigris leading the Euphrates, a storm
appeared, bringing with it, high in the air, clouds of sand from the
west north west quarter. At this moment we were passing over
the rocks of Is Geria (deeply covered) and immediately after we
made a signal for the Euphrates to choose a berth, and make fast ;
which was done more as a matter of precaution, on account
of the difficulty of seeinr, our way through • the sand,
than from apprehension that the squall would be so
terrific. The Tigris was immediately directed towards the bank,
against which she struck without injury, but with so much violence
as to recoil a distance of about eight vrds, leaving two men on the
bank who had jumped out to make fast. The wind then suddenly
veered round, drove her bow off, and thus rendered it quite impos-
sible to secure the vessel to the bank, along which she was blown
rapidly by the heavy gusts, her head falling off into the stream as
she passed close by the Euphrates, which vessel had been backed op-
portunely to avoid the concussion. The engines were working at full
power, and every endeavour made to turn the vessel's bow to the
bank. One anchor waslet go, but the heel of the vessel made it
impossible to get the other out, and she was then nearly broad side
to the wind, with the engines almost powerless, and the waves, ris-
ing to four or five feet, forcing their way in at the windows.
Lieut. Cockburn, the Messrs. Staunton, and some of the menmade
ineffectual attempts to keep out the water, for the fate of the vessel
was already decided ; and the fore part of the deck being under wa-
ter, Lieut. Lynch came toreport that the Tigriswas sinking, andthe
word was immediately passed for all to save themselves. At this
very instant a momentary gleam of light faintly showed the bank
at the apparent distance of eight or ten yards ; and as there seemed
every probability that the stern would touch it before she went
down, Lieutenant Lynch encouraged the people to remain steady
until they reached the land. All were on deck at this critical
moment, some clinging to the ropes of the awning, the paddle

* The last depth sounded, and we have since found three and an
half fathoms on one side of the spot, and five on the other.

We learn from Coblentz that the camp in the
neighbourhood of that city is in great forwardness, arid that
when ready it will have everything that can be desired for the
convenience and accommodation of the troops. The buildings
necessary for the service are erecting, as well as tents and
booths for theatrical representations, ballet dancers, &c. The
number of troops to be assembled will be about 20,000.
IRON STEAM BOATS.—The Cleveland steamer,
built by Messrs. Page and Grantham, has been for some time
at work on the Woodside Ferry, Liverpool, and seems fully to
answer the most sanguine expectations of the advocates of this
mode of constructing steam-boats.
FRAUDULENT FIRM.--Some dismay, on the part
of certain individuals, has been caused in Selby, by the sudden
disappearance of a dashing firm, " Richard Pullen and
Brothers, flax and hemp merchants." On Saturday week, a
large bill, which had been accepted for this firm by a respect-
able timber-merchant of Selby, was returned to the acceptor
dishonoured ; and on his inquiry at the place of business, he
was alarmed to find that the Messrs. Pullen had wholly
vanished. The gentleman in question, who is connected with
the Pullens by the marriage of his brother, has accepted bills
to the extent of several thousand pounds for these persons,
and has even, in some instances, put his name to blank bills.
It is said that persons at Leeds and Hunslet have been simi-
larly taken in, and that the Hull Banking Company, and a
firm of flax spinners at Darlington, are heavy losers. The
opinion is that the runaway merchants have gone to America
or the Continent ; and it is conjectured that they have dis-
posed, at a discount for cash or small bills, of property to the
value of 30,0001., which they had purchased with bills not yet
due.—Lincoln Gazette.
Loss OF THE CALEDONIA.—Sunday Week the
Caledonia, Mills, of Aberdeen, thence to Sunderland, when
about 14 miles from Berwick, filled with water, which had
covered the ballast before the crew were aware. Pumping
was out of the question. The crew, eight in number, took out
a boat about twelve feet long, into which they entered in such
haste, that four of them had not time to put their jackets on.
They secured two oars, a bucket, a small cask, and one biscuit
—all the provision they saved—and no clothing except that
in which they stood. They saw their ship go down in about
a quarter of an hour after they left her. They filled the
bucket and swung it out of the boat's stem by the painter,
to act as an anchor, and prevent them drifting out to
sea faster than they could avoid. They remained in the
boat about twelve hours, and drifted 35 miles, when on Monday
morning, they descried a ship, and one of them stood up with
a red handkerchief as a signal of distress, which was discovered
by the person on watch on board the ship, which proved to be
the Quebec, of Glasgow; but they were not seen until the
ship had passed the boat. It was blowing a stiff breeze from
the W. N. W., and the crew of the Quebec, which saw them,
had, by the captain's orders, just taken in a third reef. On
perceiving the boat they immediately took in sail, tacked about,
and, after two hours' endeavour, succeeded in recovering the
men, but not the boat, which the roughness of the sea would
not permit them to do. The poor fellows were very much ex-
hausted, and had not power to make much effort to reach the
ship.—Hull Paper.
ATTEMPT AT MURDER FROM JEALOUSY.--
Ann Librouse, aged 35, was placed at the bar of a French
Provincial Court, charged with an attempt to murder a young
man, named Villate, under the following circumstances :
The prisoner, who resided in the arondissement of Perrigueux,
had for some years past been carrying on an illicit intercourse
with Villate, a young farmer, and she had a child by him,
which was now five years old. It appeared that the conduct of
the prisoner had latterly given rise to some suspicions in the
mind of Villate, concerning the fidelity of his mistress, whose
charms were of no ordinary character; a quarrel took place
between them, which ended in Villate leaving her and marry-
ing another. The prisoner no sooner saw herself forsaken
than she began to contemplate revenge, and did not take much
trouble to conceal her intentions. On the day following Vil-
late's marriage, she went out with a loaded pistol for the pur-
pose of avenging herself upon her faithless lover, and seeing
him walking in the street, went deliberately up behind him,
presented the pistol between his shoulders, and pulled the
rigger. Fortunately, however, for her intended victim, it
missed fire, and she was immediately taken into custody with
the loaded pistol in her hand. The prisoner, when questioned
by the Jury, avowed the crime of which she stood charged,
and showed no remorse whatever. She continued to dwell
upon her unrequitted love and the abandonment of her poor
little child by the author of its being. In reply to -a question
by the President, she said she did not intend to kill him ; her
object was only to wound him, that his sufferings might be as
great as her own. When the prosecutor came forward to
make his deposition, be did not appear to dare to look the pri-
soner in the face ; but she placed herself in such a position
that he could not avoid her, and vented her rage in the most
bitter terms of reproach against him. He took no notice of her
interposition, but when he had finished his evidence sat down
with the most perfect self-possession. The President then ad-
dressed the Jury, and they found the prisoner guilty of the at-
tempt to murder, but without premeditation. She was
sentenced to five years' imprisonment—the minimum punish-
ment of the law.

MRS. FRY.—During the last ten or twelve days,
this excellent lady has been actively engaged in the perform-
ance of good offices in the island of Alderney, assisted by a
few of her friends. In the morning, afternoon, and evening,
of Sunday week, she addressed large and attentive congrega-
tions on several portions of Scripture; and, on the following
day, assisted in forming an Auxiliary Temperance Society, &c.
—Jersey Argus.

coals was proceeding through the Regent's-canal to the basin

Albany-bridge; it was conveyed to the York and Albany
Tavern, Park-street, Camden-town. The unfortunate de-
ceased appears from her dress to have been respectable; the
body seems to have been lying in the water some days. There
were no papers or property found on her person to lead to a
discovery. She appears to be about 19 years of age.
RECORD COMMISSION.—It appears from the evi-
dence taken before the Committee of the House of Commons,
that the Record Commission is, as far as can be ascertained,
in debt, to the amount of 24,0001. The Committee, there-
fore, recommend that the amount of this debt to be forthwith
reported to the House, with a recommendation that it be im-
mediately discharged, under the sanction and control of the
Lords Commissioners of the Treasury.
