•iin a hearing, such was the confusion and uproar that
revaded.
Mr. JOHNSTONE then came forward to state his de-
termination of relinquishing the contest amid loud cheers.

LAUNCH AT PORTSMOUTH.—FATAL Ac-
ex/alum—The Camilla steam packet having b en hauled
op on Mr. WmTies patent slip, for repair, which being
completed, the necessary preparations were made for her
launch, and a large assemblage of spectators were present,
nor the purpose of witnessing it. The capstan was hove
round to move the ♦essel, for the purpose of greasing the
slip; she was then eased back to the dog shores, hut
coming on them with a jerk, they gave way, and the
ship started cif carrying everything before her; the cap-
stan flew round violently, the bars were hurled with im-
mense force amongst the spectators, by which two men
were killed, and a third was severely- wounded. Mr.
WHITE and several others were knocked down, and it is
surprising that more lives were not lost. An inquest
was held on Thursday, when a deodand of lOn. on the
steam-vessel was given, in consequence of the neglect in
not having the men stationed at the capstan.

MURDER OF THE BOY PAVlOUR.—Yester-
day the funeral of this unfortunate boy took place, and was
tollowed by a large concourse of persons. MARSHALL,
the man against whom the evidence is principally di-
rected, has been for some time past known about the
neighbourhood, and his indolent habits, together with his
effeminacy of appearance and manners, have caused a very
unfavourable impression against him. He was constantly
observed lurking about TAYLOR'S premises with other
men. TAYLOR occupied only the parlours in the house.
In one part of the house a school was kept q a poor
man, and some suspicions were entertained on this being
known; but the man possesses an excellent character.
TAYLOR'S wife died some months ago in a state of mad-
ness. It is sill he kept a dog at the back part of the
house, and that on Saturday week it left his premises.
The same evening the howling of a dug was heard in the
Regent's Park, and his cries were so piteous that a police-
man endeavoured to eftice it to him, but it escaped. Mrs.
PERKINS, the landlady of a public-house near the
Queen's Theatre, states, that a day or two before the body
Hof the deceased boy was found, she was w,lkoig n ar the
canal, when she saw a dog like the abovetw rationed swim-
ming in the water with something heavy in its mouth,
which it seemed to drop through exh tuition It
is
thought that this was the body of the deceased Two
other individuals have been appreeended on a charge of
being concerned with the three men ie cusrody, and Go-
vernment have offered a rewar4 for the appre'lension and
conviction of all the guilty parties.. :t is exp eted that
one of the parties will confess. Tile parents of the boy
