COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRLSPONDENT.)
COWES, APRIL 13.

Wind East.—Arrived the American steam-ship Her-
mann, Cal;tain Crabtree, from New York, in 15 days.
She brings 80 pas.engers, 12 of whom, for England, were
taken out by the Ruby steamer, and the otht rs proce-d
un to Bremen. When off Falmouth yesterday after-
noon, between three and four o'clock, she came in con-
,act with the schooner Hope, of North Yarmouth, laden
with salt, from Liverpool to Holland, and carried away
both her MMUS. Expk cting the schooner to go down, all
her hands got on board the sir amer, but afterwards
finolir•g that. the hull of the vessel had received but
;rifling damace, and made no water, they were put on
b ,ard again, and the st. amer took her in tow and
brought her in here. Captain Crabtree behaved like a
gentleman, and gave directions that the schooner's da-
mages should all be made good with as little (hilly as
possible. This accident caused the detention of the
steamer full twelve hours.

ICE.—A Norw, g.an brig has arrived here with blocks
of ice, and we hear other vessels are on their passage tor
ihe neighbouring ports. The very low rate paid for
freights makes the ice speculation a good one this sea-
,,n, the winter having been so mild that almost every
icehouse is empty.
MARRIED.—GATT, MEW.—On Saturday, at St. Paul's
Church, Whippingham, Charles Catt, Esq., of Brighton,
to Mary Ann, daughter of the late Ben. Mew, Esq., or
West Cowes.

RAILWAY AND SEA-BORNE COALS.—A memorial
has recently been presented by the Shipowners' Society of
the port of Sunderland to the Lords Commissioners of the
Privy Council of Trade respecting the intended coal traffic
on the Great Northern Railway. The memorialists state
that they represent the interests of the shipowners of Sun-
derland, comprising a capital of 1,000,0001., and affording em-
ployment to nearly 10,000 seamen ; that their interest is
suffering severely from foreign shipping and from the navi-
gation-laws, and that the railways are now interfering to a
great Extent with their traffic, and that the Great Northern
Railway Company have lately been lowering their tariff
upon coals to London for the parpose of Entering into com-
petition with the shipping trade. They urge the injustice of
this system, and they ask that such clauses may be intro-
duced into the Bill of the Great Northern Company now be-
fore Parliament as may compel the company to charge
rateably for all articles of a like kind, according to the dis-
tance they may be conveyed. A reply to this memorial has
been received from the office of the Committee of Privy
Council of Trade, in which their Lordships state they do not
think it right to introduce any clause into the Great Northern
Railway Bill which would involve a principle not adopted
with regard to all railways, and they do not see any reason
for recommending the adoption generally of the principle
suggested by the memorialists. It is said that the new tariff
advertised by the Great Northern Company will have the
effect of diminishing very materially the price of coals in the
London market, and that the charge will in all probability
be brought down as low as 155. per ton. Sunday Paper.

by railway companies up to the end of 1849, as seen by a

ThiTIISIONIAL To THE LATE MR. RUSHTON.—
From the amount already collected towards a fund for a tea-
timenial to the late lamented Liverpool magistrate, hose
family are left in rather straitened circumstances, it is fully
expected that the sum will shortly reach 10,0001. It is in-
I tended:to have two stipendiary magistrates, instead of one,
