FIMONINIMINIM

CIitTUCH FOR SEAMEN.—Yesterday a public meeting
Was held at Willis's Rooms, for the purpose of erecting a church for
the seamen of the port of London, now building in Dock-Street, near
the Lond yn and St. Katherine iDocks, all the seats in
,which (900 in
number) are to be free. The Right Hon. the Earl of Lliennoroti,,ln
G.C.R. irirst Lord of the Admiralty, was announced to preside, but
his Lordship was absent on account of official duties. Rear-Admiral
Bowles occ:upied the chair. The Chairman announced that the Com-
mittee had commenced the erection of the seamen's church. The
•cost of the building, the endowment, and the repairing fund,
with the expense of the site, would amount to 9,0001., 't larger
sum thrill was originally contemplated, but which had
been dee' ned necessary for accommodating an additional num-
ber of sea men. The committee had, therefore, decided on building
two side galleries, by which means no less than 800 Seamen would be
provided • Frith seats in the church. Tho amount at present subscribed
was 6,000 1., leaving a deficiency of at least 3,0001., and considering
the great importance of the object, and the claims which the sea-
men of E ['gland had on all classes in this country, he felt assured
that the ( sammittee would not appeal in vain for the sum to provide
ter them. Several resolutions expressive of confidence hi the society
Were pas., mi. It was announced that his Royal Highness Prince
Albert ha i intimated his willingness to lay the foundation
thendio lnlotht tilniestanenwt,
church for' seamen in Dock-street, on Monday x
and that tho ceremony would commence at three o'clock. Several
liberal donations were received.

AND TENDER DROWNED.—On Thursday
night, as t tie goods-train approached the Illisworth station from Bir-
mingham, it was found that the points had not been properly set, in
consequen Cc of which the engine was jerked aside, snapped the
chains by which it was attached to the train, and running down the
embankment, rushed right into the canal which crosses the line at
this place, and was drowned. The goods train went a considerable
way down The line by its own momentum. The escape of the engine-
Matt and stoker was almost miraculous.

THE MN, LONDON, TU'ESDAY_EVENING, MAY 5, 1846.

persisted in this contest at Falkirk, and has been chosen the '
representative of its electors. In both circumstances his
Lordship must have received the approval of his own con-
science and of all right-thinking observers; but, in the latter
instance, those approvals are accompanied by congratulations.
The issue of the election for the Scotch burghs, though
a minor matter in relation to the empire generally, involves
several important considerations under the peculiar auspices
in which it has recently transpired. First, it is the recom-
pense of consistent perseverance in a Minister. Then it is
an additional testimony of the estimation in which
the proposed commercial policy is held in the remotest
quarters of Great Britain. Again, it is a contrast to
electioneering arenas, where coronets of strawberry leaves
appear, both in deed and in word, " to do what they like
with their own." Not the least interesting feature of the
late contest is the language employed by the successful can-
didate, when harassed by the pettish cries of the minority.
" I will say to that minority " such are his identical ex-
pressions—" I will say to that minority, although I will not
emelt them to yield one iota of their political opinions to me,
as I am unwilling to yield any of mine to them, that as regards
their local interests, as regards their concerns in any
way whatever, they will always find me ready
and anxious to attend to them as I would to
those of any other portion of the constituency."
These are sentiments worthy of his position as a Legislator
and thoroughly consonant with his expressed anxiety for
the welfare of the public generally ; they are sentiments
which, but for the rankling reminiscence of discom-
fiture, would have engratiated the good wishes of
those who had just voted in his opponent's interest.
Lord Lnrcoue has now, by unceasing exertion in a most
noble cause, gained the " open sesame" of the Lower House
of Parliament, and acquired for himself an opportunity o
participating in the glorious labours attendant upon
the realisation of free trade before the Corn
Bill can leave the Commons. The Protectionist
party may argue that this is nevertheless but the
acquisition of a single vote. Not so. It is more, it is the
acquisition also of a heart sustained by political courage,
and an intellect fraught with conviction upon the subject of
the destruction of monopoly, and a tongue glib in the utter-
ance of reason and argument. We will hope, however, that
Lord LINCOLN, and the other representatives, may only
have to give their accordance to the measure by coming to a
division.

Intelligence has been received at Constantinople from
Tiflis, via Odessa, stating that SCRIAIYI, at the head of
40,000 men, had attacked the Russian troops, and driven
them back with great slaughter from the position which they
occupied on the Caucasian frontier.

The news from Madrid is to the 27th ult. The informa-
tion of CoxcHe's victory at Santiago was received in Madrid
that day. General VILLALONGA entered Lugo on the 26th,
and took 300 prisoners. It is imagined that no resistance
was made by the insurgents. On the 24th General CONCHA
left Santiago, for the purpose of attacking Vigo, which, with
Tuy and Pontevedra, are still in the hands of the insurgents.
At Madrid the defeat of Sous is ascribed to his jealousy of
RUBIN DE CELLS. Sous aspired to the chief command, and
refused to obey an order sent to him by RuBLN DE CELLS,
to make a combined movement. In consequence of this
an opportunity was afforded to CONCHA, of which he was
but too happy to avail himself to attack Sous with very
superior forces. Sous, with other prisoners, were sent to
Corunna for trial.

The Peninsula steam-packet Pacha, Captain EvANS, which
arrived at Southampton this morning, brings additional par-
ticulars from Corunna. Of the sixty-two officers taken pri-
soners, twelve, viz., ten captains and two commandants, have
been shot by order of the Government within a league of
Corunna. It was supposed the lives of the remaining
fifty would be spared ; they were, however, kept close prisoners.
The two principal chiefs of the insurgents had made their
escape to Portugal after the battle of Santiago. 1 hey sailed
in a Spanish ship of war, which having been ordered to
blockade the coast, had, instead of so doing, pronounced and
joined the insurgents. The insurrection was considered at
an end in Vigo, Oviedo, and other towns of Galicia. The
insurrection in Portugal was also at an end. There were
still rumours of a change in the Spanish Cabinet, and it was
c;:ntidently reported that M. Mori would be obliged to with-
draw. It appears that General ORIBE is not the only
general who has refused a command. Hos DR °LANA ap-
pointed to the second command in Burgos, and CORDOVA
appointed to the commandof Valladolid, have equally refused
to take service under the present Ministry. It is not stated
whether they, like OxsßN, have been ordered to the Canary
Isles.

We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The de-
bate on the Western Railway Bill was resumed in the Cham-
ber of Deputies on Saturday, and the concession to the two
Versailles lines voted. A grant of 600,800,000 francs for the
improvement of Toulon was examined in Committee and
adopted.

A dilapidated house, which on Sunday morning fell to the
ground in the Rue Mogador, had crushed several persons.
A regiment was sent to assist in rescuing the sufferers from
the ruins. Many dead bodies had been taken out.
Intelligence has been received from Algiers up to the 27th.
It was rumoured that the Arabs in the Djebel-el-Amour had
defeated General Jussour and taken him prisoner. The news,
however, wanted confirmation. Marshal BUGEAUD was to
leave Algiers on the 3d of May to take the command in the
Ouaransenis.

with papers on board of April

our files, the intelligence from America published yesterday coming
down to the sth In.t. The Washington Senate of the 6th inst. was
ruteirnictoanFalshmipoulthr
occupied the entire day in listening to a speech delivered by Mr.
Webster, in defence of the North Eastern Boundary Treaty, and in
answer to repeated attacks which had been made upon that measure.
The Sub-Treasury Bill, it is believed, will not pass the Senate ; at
least so thinks Mr. Webster, and other eminent statesmen.
The amount of damage sustained by the freshet at Boston is said
to amount to about 250,000 dolls.
Letters from Mexico of March 20, state that Mr. Slidell had de-
manded his passports, having been refused reception as Minister, al-
though the Government was ready to treat with a commission on the
Texas question. Mr. S. remained at Xalapa, but was hourly ex-
pected at Vera Cruz. General Santa Anna had published a manifesto,
dated llavannah, February 8, in which he expresses his regard for
the Mexicans, in opposition to the transfer of their affections to a
royal prince.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated, that in this case a prosecution
had been instituted by the East India Company against the defend-
ants many years ago, for a fraudulent transfer of East India stock,
but the informatious could not be earned into effect in consequence
of defendants having left the country, and they had been outlawed,
but subsequently a writ of error had been moved for, in order to have
the outlawry set aside, and have the defendants brought up for
judment, as they had returned to this country.
