FATAL ACCIDENT AT HUNGER-
FORD STEAM-BOAT PIER—FOUR LIVES
LOST. •
Yesterday afternoon, between five and six o'clock, a
melancholy accident occureed at llungerford-pier,
causing the sacrifice of four lives, and the narrow escape
of a fi' th. This accident arose through the fragile and
insecure structure of one of the platforms which com-
municate with the dumbies forming the gangway to the
lighters used for embarkation and debarkation. A t the
time mentions d Mrs. Mansfield, aged 50, of 112, Jenny n-
street, St. James's ; her brother, Mr. Johnson, and Mr.
W. Mansfield, her brother-in •law, were amongst other
persons proceeding along the gangway. There were at
that time many people on the floating pier ; two Chel-
sea boats and one Woolwich boat came up simultane-
ously. which caused a considerable swell, and the
ebb tide at the same time flowing rapidly, produced
great oscillation on the whole structure of the pier
and caused the staple to give way which secured the
platform on which Mrs. Mansfield and friends, with two
other persons, then stood ; the lighters consequently
parted, swung round, and the bridge fell, precipitating
all fivo into the water. Police-constables who were near
the spot immediately rendered every assistance ; the
Humane Society's drags .were procured from the Swan
Tavern, and Mrs. Mansfield was promptly rescued,
after being in the water about three minutes, and con-
veyed on shore at the Adelphi-pier, and thence to the
house of Mr. Nichols, the St. Martin public-house,
Duke-s.reet, Adelphi. Shy was not dead, though in a
dreadfully exhausted state ; but by incessant exertions
during a period of an hour and a half, she was restored
to life and consciousness so as to give an account of her-
self, and she was then sent in a cab to her residence. A
few minutes after Mrs. Mansfield had been rescued her
brother was also got out, but quite dead, and his body
was taken to the Swan Them, where it awaits acoroner's
inquest. The bodies of the other three sufferers, though.
the drags were kept in constant use, had not been re-
covered at half-past eight o'clock.

POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

Notwithstanding the fineness of the weather yester
day, which so temptingly invited the holiday folks of
the metropolis to the river and the fields, this great in-
stitution was thronged to such an excess that a stranger
might suppose that the whole population of a large city
had agreed to make this the scene for the celebration of
a general fete. The number of visitors was, perhaps,
greater than upon any former occasion, and there were
at least four thousand persons at one time within the
walls. The admirable lectures of Dr. Ryan and Pro-
fessor Bachhoffner attracted, as usual, crowded and at-
tentive audiences, who frequently testified their gratifi-
cation by applause. Nor was it the least agreeable
matter of notice during the day, that whilst the great
variety of curious objects displayed throughout the ex-
tensive hall and galleries excited the wonder of the
young and the rustic, there was not an instance of im-
pertinent or mischievous meddling. Indeed, we have
• seldom enjoyed a more satisfactory holiday.

ADELAIDE GALLERY.
This favourite institution of science and amusement
was, yesterday, visited by several thousand persons.
who manifested the highest satisfaction at the new
courses of instruction and entertainment produced for the
Easter holidays. In addition to the usual lectures upon
various departmente of practical science, natural philo-
sophy, electricity, and chemistry, there were very inte-
resting lectures by Mr. Logan on phrenology, Mr. Brook
on phonography, and Major Beniowski upon artificial
memory. The experiments upon Nickel's compressed
railway were observed with great curiosity, and Mr.
Clark's explanation of the structure, habits, &c., of the
electrical eels were in the highest degree interesting
and satisfactory. Those wonderful creatures have
thriven amazingly under Mr. Scott's care. When they
were first brought to this country, two years and a half
ago, they measured but twenty-three and twenty-four
inches in length ; they have now attained the length of
four feet nine inches, with a girth of eight inches, and
they are in robust health, and possess great electrical

NATIONAL GALLERY.

This exhibition, also free to the public, was attended
during the day by no less than 14,300 visitors. Though
the want of space or the smallness of the collection may
render this gallery unworthy of being termed national,
it nevertheless contains some of the finest and most
valuable paintings in the world. The additions are made
but slowly, only two during the last year, but they cost
upwards of 7,0001.
UNITED SERVICE INSTITUTION.

The Museum of this institution, which at all times
has been free to the public (by member's tickets), was
OR this occasion thrown open to all, with or without
tickets, and the result was an influx of upwards of
1,000 visitors, instead of about 200, as last year. The
recent additions to the Museum have been comparatively
few, consisting chiefly of some implements of war from
the Island of Borneo, but the whole seems much more
extensive, and many articles, previously almost hidden,
are now fully displayed since the extension of the build-
ing, by the annexation of Lord Stuart de Rothesay's
house, The chief object of attraction is the armoury,
containing arms and armour of all ages and nations,
amongst them a very long gun from the Mary Rose, a
man•of--war, reign of Henry VIII., and which had been
under water 300 years. There are also the swords, &0.,
of Oliver Cromwell, Napoleon Bonaparte, General
Wolfe, Lord Nelson, &c., beside numerous Chinese and
East Indian arms.
WESTMINSTER ABBEY.

Not yet quite free to the public, as sixpence is still
charged, and though but a small sum to view Henry
Vllths chapel and the whole collection, it was:not pa-
tronised by more than 500 visitors during the day.
ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL.

Not more than 100 persons paid the twopence for ad-
mission to our national cathedral yesterday, of these but
a very insignificant portion were inclined to pay the full
amount, 4s. 2d., to view the whole interior of this noble
structure.

LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 14, 1846.

Since the commencement of the great European peace
of the present century, a vast progression has been mad'
in the development of the popular intellect, a greatei
pr,,aression probably than many may imagine. And,
k king at the beneficent consequences which have al-
ready supervened upon the wars which previously deso-
lated nearly all the civilised nations of this hemisphere,
we cannot but regard that anterior outburst as a kind I
convulsive prelude to a state of tranquillity peculiarly
hurrsanising. With those momentous wars, the last vestige-
of feudalism were dispelled from most of the continental
_kingdoms ; a moral thunder-storm cleansed the atmo
sphere—the political and social atmrsphere--of thosf
pvincip!es which had outlived many
former revolution
of like tendency, though of lesser effout ect, a ffo
nd ardec
mankind an opportunity of working their own ad-
vancement. That opportunity has not been lost, as far
at least as sevetal of the principalities of Europe are
concerned. And if the labour of regeneration is still
any thing but completed, that circumstance is attributable
rather to the immensity of the field which had to be
traversed, than to any appreciable indolence on the part
of society itself. Small, however, as the accomplishment
is, in comparison with what has yet to be accomplished.
the people have made prodigious strides in the way of
their improvement. This cannot be denied. The mil-
lions of our English countrymen are of themselves a
sufficient demonstration of the fact. Forty, thirty-
-may, less than thirty years ago, religious intolerance
was tl-e prevailing characteristic of the bu'k of our
population ; that intolerance has been scattered to the
winds—its doom was sealed with the passing of Ca-

SUIIREV.

The bill of fare for the entertainment of the public,
presented more than usual attraction yesterday evening
ut this theatre, and the pieces presented, we are happy to
say met with the loudly expressed approbation of a
very crowded audience. The perrormances commenced
with an entirely new extravaganza, entitled Jack the
Giant Killer, or the Knights of the Round Table. The
plot being entirely based on the *original nurA•ry tale, of
course requires no repetition; suffice it to say, that both
the scenery and general management of the piece were
very effective. It approached so nearly to a pantomime
as to be peculiarly fuel or the recreation of the youth-
ul of the community during the Easter recess.
It was followed by a rew farce from the pen of
Mr. E. Stirling, entitled, On t*.e 7'iles,or a Night at Green-
wich. The situations were amusing in the extreme.
and the misadventures of two gentlemen, who venture
upon the tiles to obtain interviews with their respective
sweethearts, were very ludicrous. The falling snow is
admirably imitated ; and the farce, though not of the
first order, was announced for repetition amidst loud
applause. It, was fotlowed by a necrom.'ntic ballet
d'arti.in, entitled, Der (-hanwis Yager ; or, the Fiend qf
Emei, written arid prep ired by Herr Dentin, who, with
Sladeinoi ell- Theodore Deulin and Herr E. Detain', are
the principal dancers. The ballet was eminently suc-
cessful, and the dancing of the comp ,ser, and his
brother, and sister, much admired. The character
of the Fiend of Earth was exceedingly well sus-
tained by Herr Nicolo Deulin. The work was
very ingeniously contrived, and altogetlit r the
Earth Fiend offered from the ordinary " poor
devils" been on the stage, inasmuch as he pus
sensed all the terrible and mischievous qualities usually
ascribed to fiends of German extraction, without any of
the absurdity of the " gentlem,n in black" who some-
times condescend to appear in public. The ballet is one
of a first-rate order, and the pantowimic portions kept
the audience iu roars of laughter. At the conclusion,
the whole of the Deulin family were called before th.-
curtain, and loucLy applauded. A tableau of the late
victory in India was well done, and equally well-received;
and the entertainments cone tided with an interesting
drama, called the Rats of Rat Castle. At the fall of
the curtain the au.liencit again expressed their sense of
having witnessed a really good night's amusement.

DEVON AND CORWALL
WRESTLING.
The Easter wrestling, in the above style, commenced
yesterday at the Brecknock Arms Tavern, Camden-
town. The attendance during the afternoon was very
numerous and respectable, and the play in. this ancient
" science" was extremely good, many wrestlers from both
the above counties being present, and the play being
without shoes appeared to give general satisfaction to
the spectators and players.
During the afternoon the play came off as follows :
Thomas Walters, of Devon, and T. Caizer, of Corn-
wall, were the first men that entered the ring, and,
after some play, the Devonian threw his opponent by
the hanging toe.
W. Peneto, of Cornwall, came against Walters, and
after some play, time (ten minutes) was called, and
Walters became a standard.
James Bond and W. Peneto had a short tassel, when
Bond threw his man, and played time with B. Merrifield,
of Cornwall.

Benjamin Merrifield stood the ring, and Charles Bow-
den, of Cornwall, came against him. After some ex-
ceeding good play Bowden threw his antagonist by the
under-lock, and he .afterwards threw by the right fore
hip, Easton, of Westmoreland.
J. Eason (Somerset) and W. Teague came together,
Eason playing time, and afterwards throwing Sampson,
of London.

The next men were two good wrestlers, J. Ball, of
Cornwall, and Goodman (of the Blues) also from Corn-
wall. Some exceeding good play was displayed on both
sides, Goodman being thrown ; when Ball played out
time with Snell.

On Snell retaining the ring, T. ?billips, of Devon,
opposed him, and &fter a good bout,
by the back lock.
Phillips was thrown

Charles Spear (Cornwall) and Jeremiah Akester
(Cumberland) were the next contending parties, the
Cumberland man playiAg time, when J. Eason opposed
him, and several falls took place, but "no back."
J. Eason, of Somerset, retained the ring, and was op-
posed by James Jordan, a Devonian. Both parties dis-
played science, when Somerset threw Devon a fair back
by the fore hip, amidst much cheering.
The double and treble play will commence today, and
the prizes, three in number, be played for.

DIORAMA.

The attractions of the Diorama continue undimi-
nished; and, as a matter of course, it was yesterday most
extensively patronised. The fun produced by watching
the manmuvres of those who entered the darkened
exhibition-room from the light, and who are for a few
moments in a consequent state of partial blindness, was
entered into yesterday by the holiday-makers as heartily
as if the joke had been a fresh discovery. It was evident
that the greater part of the visitors had come out for the
express purpose of enjoying themselves, and most
certainly they completely effected their purpose.
CHELSEA HOSPITAL.

This hospital, which remains a monument of British
gratitude to the veteran defenders of our country, was
yesterday one of the most attractive sights to the holi-
day folks, owing no doubt to the recent arrival of the
three standards taken by the gallant 13th Regiment,
when under the command of the immortal Sale in the
East. They surmount the small gallery at the entrance
to the dining hall, and exactly beneath the flags taken
during the Chinese war. They were the subject of
much curiosity, and were minutely examined by several
persons. As no description of these interesting trophies
has yet appeared, we beg to add the following :—The
staff of the largest, or infantry flag, is somewhat longer
than that used in the British army ; it is composed of
bamboo cane ; the pennant, which. is of considerable
size, is apparently a faded red, with dark green border
and yellow and pink fringe. The second, or cavalry
flag, which in the struggle for capture was torn off its
staff, is of crimson cassiniere cloth, fringed with yellow,
and baying yellow in the centre. The third, a very
small one, somewhat resembles an English shawl, being
of a dark blue (mixed) pattern. It may be added, that
on each. standard are displayed words, taken from the
Koran, calculated to stimulate the ardour of the Maho-
medansoldiery. There are now 51 captured flags in the
hospital.

LYCEUJ}L

The Keeleys have not produced anything new for
Easter Monday, because, as poor Liston used to say,
"there was no occasions for it." General Tom Thumb and
the Marble Maiden are the great objects of attraction;
and while they contine to draw such houses as they
drew last night there can be no necessity for novelties.

The Proprietor begs to state that in the term of the REGISTERED
SHIRT a very great improvement is effected, yet care is taken to
preserve the easy looseness so necessary to this garment, together
with a plain smooth setting front, and to retain this appearance
dur:ng the whole time in wear. But a further and a most important
advantage is offered—the material of those parts seen, viz., the
fronts, collars, and wristbands, are composed of the Golden Flax
Linen, now so widely celebrated for the purity of its bleach, thus
presenting a beautiful snow-white appearance. The Proprietor fur-
ther begs to state, that rigorous attention is given towards moderate
prices and excellence of workmanship. Any philanthropic lady or
Wontlentan who may he desirous of giving employment to persons of
reduced means with such intention, the Proprietor of title est Wish-
meta. will be happy to to-operate, and merely requires to see a spe-
cimen of work. and a card of the lady or gentleman recommending.

SURREY.

The bill of fare for the entertainment of the public,
presented more than usual attraction yesterday evening
at this theatre, and the pieces presented, we are happy to
say met with the loudly expressed approbation of a
very crowded audience. The performances commenced
with an entirely new extravaganza, entitled Jack the
Giant Killer, or the Knights of the Round Table. The
plot being entirely based on the original nursery tale, of
course requires no repetition; suffice it to say, that both
the scenery and general management of the piece were
very effectile. It approached so nearly to a pantomime
as to be peculiarly fitted for the recreation of the youth-
ful portion of the community during the Easter recess.
It was followed by a new farce from the pen of
Mr. E. Stirling, entitled, On the Tiles, sr a Night at Green-
wich. The situations were amusing in the extreme.
and the misadventures of two gentlemen, who venture
upon the tiles to obtain interviews with their respective
sweethearts, were very ludicrous. The falling snow is
admirably imitated ; and the farce, though not of the
first order, was announced for repetition amidst loud
applause. It was followed by a necromantic ballet
d'action, entitled, Der Chamois Yager ; or, the Fiend of
Earth, written and prepared by Herr Denlin, who, with
Mademoiselle Theodore Deulin and Herr E. Deulin, are
the principal dancers. The ballet was eminently suc-
cessful, and the dancing of the composer, and his
brother, and sister, much admired. The character
of the Fiend of Earth was exceedingly well sus-
tained by Herr Nicolo Detain. The work was
very ingeniously contrived, and altogether the
Earth Fiend differed from the ordinary "poor
devils" seen on the stage, inasmuch as he pos
sessed all the terrible and mischievous qualities usually
ascribed to fiends of German extraction, without any of
the absurdity of the " gentlemen in black" who some-
times condescend to appear in public. The ballet is one
of a first-rate order, and the pantomimic portions kept
the audience in roars of laughter. At the conclusion,
the whole of the Deulin family were called before the
curtain, and loudly applauded. A tableau of the late
victory in India was well done, and equally well received;
and the entertainments concluded with an interesting
drama, called the Rats of Rats' Castle. At the fall of
the curtain the audience again expressed their sense of
having witnessed a really good night's amusement.

DIORAMA.

The attractions of the Diorama continue undimi-
nished; and, as a matter of course, it was yesterday most
extensively patronised. The fun produced by watching
the manoeuvres of those who entered the darkened
exhibition-room from the light, and who are for a few
moments in a consequent state of partial blindness, was
entered into yesterday by the holiday-makers as heartily
as if the joke had been a fresh discovery. It was evident
that the greater part of the visitors had come out for the
express purpose of enjoying themselves, and most
certainly they completely effected their purpose.
CHELSEA HOSPITAL.
This hospital, which remains a monument of British
gratitude to the veteran defenders of our country, was
yesterday one of the most attractive sights to the holi-
day folks, owing no doubt to the recent arrival of the
three standards taken by the gallant 13th Regiment,
when under the command of the immortal Sale in the
East. They surmount the small gallery at the entrance
to the dining hall, and exactly beneath the flags taken
during the Chinese war. They were the subject of
much curiosity, and were minutely examined by several
persons. As no description of these interesting trophies
has yet appeared, we beg to add the following :—The
staff of the largest, or infantry flag, is somewhat longer
than that used in the British army ; it is composed of
bamboo cane ; the pennant, which is of considerable
size, is apparently a faded red, with dark green border
and yellow and pink fringe. The second, or cavalry
flag, which in the struggle for capture was torn off its
staff, is of crimson cassimere cloth, fringed with yellow,
and having yellow in the centre. The third, a very
small one, somewhat resembles an English shawl, being
of a dark blue (mixed) pattern. It may be added, that
on each standard are displayed words, taken from the
Koran, calculated to stimulate the ardour of the Maho-
medan soldiery. There are now 51 captured flags in the
hospital.

CAMBRIDGE, BOROUGH SESSIONS.—These sessions
Storks,
were held on Monday last before Henry Esq., the
Recorder of the borough. The Recorder, in his address to
the grand jury said he had been constantly in the habit of
awakening them to the duty of a vigilant superintendence
over H
the moral character of their dependents. e, however,
with such a calendar, did not see the necessity for it on
this occasion. From facts furnished to him by Mr. Edis,
the very vigilant and exemplary keeper of the gaol, he was
happy to say that the number of prisoners m his custody
showed a decrease between this and the corresponding
quarter 3f last year, in the proportion of 31 t.o 20, and en the
year a diminution of from 75 to 4 T.his probably was
owing to an increase of employment, and it might be that
the morals of the poorer classes were improved. Education
was spreading, and it was cheering to look forward to a time
when with respect to public morals there would be a happier
state of things. There were three appeals entered by per-
sons named James Hawkins, William Green, and William
Butter, against convictions of them by the present Mayor
and Mr. Alderman Bishop under the Vagrant Act, as " sus-
pected persons."
The General Steam Navigation Company's Steam-
ship Wilberforce arrived at Blackvrall Pier yesterday morn-
ing, after a fine passage of eighteen hours, from Antwerp.
THE NAVY.—There are to be two experimental
squadrons, each under its own admiral or commodore, one
of line-of-battle ships, the other of large steamers, and both
are to be ready towards the close of this month, or the com-
mencement of May.— United Service Gazette.
ON Drr.—That Lord Palmerston's trip to Paris has
a higher aim than Easter holiday-making; contemplating
the speedy return of the Whigs to Whitehall and Downing-
street, including his own to the Foreign Office, he is anxious
to smooth down difficulties that lie in the way from the hoe-
tile feelings of some eminent men in France. He is under-
stood to have new lights on the events and policy of 1840;
and with his old foeman, M. Thier!, he is already quite "hand
and glove." But a still greater power than M. Thiers remains
to be propitiated—King Louis Philippe himself; and the
hardly credible story runs, that in this case Lord -Brougham
has =data= to negotiate the peace !---Epectator.

GROUP XLVI.

NEWCASTLE AND DARLINGTON SIINC•
TXON, AND TYNE DOCK.

The Committee on this Bill met to-day, at twelve o'clock, in Room
No. 31.

The Committee continued to hear evidence against the Bill, on the
part of the Jarrow Chemical Works Company. It was proved that the
formation of the proposed canal would be most injurious to the
interests of the company, who in the last two years had spent
14,6001., or 50 per cent., on the value of their works in improving
them. The amount of wages paid by them last year was 21,5861.,
and the value of the articles manufactured was 81,1521. The freight
of their goods amounted to 4,2311. All this capital would be materially
injured by the proposed alterations. The company had also been in
negotiation with a gentleman named Eccles, who wished to lay
down a•ship of 300 tons in front of their works. A written agree-
ment had been prepared, and the place selected and cleared; but all
operations were suspended by the present project.
. . . . . .

The Committee adjourned until twelve o'clock to-morrow.

GROUP XLVII.

The Select Committee appointed to inquire into this group of Bills
met again to-day at twelve o'clock in Room 25 (Grand Corridor).
Having settled the clauses of the
811REWS111711.Y AND HEREFORD LINE
Bill, the Committee proceeded to hear counsel and evidence in favour
of the

The Committee on this line decided that the preamble of the Bill
should be declared proved with certain restrictions with regard to
their interference with the Jarrew chemical works. These restric-
tions, the nature of which was not distinctly stated, were then re-
ferred to the parties, who, in order to have time to consider them,
requested an adjournment.
The Committee then adjourned until half-past ten o'clock to-
