ACCIDENT TO THE PERTH STEAM-
BOAT.-The Soho steamer on her voyage from Leith
to London, descried a large steam-boat a long way
a-head, at four o'clock on Thursday morning last, off
Shields, firing signal guns of distress. The Soho bore
down upon her, when she proved to be the new
steam boat, the Perth, on her first voyage to Lon-
don. The machinery was out of order, one of the side
levers had broke, and she was completely disabled.
Her passengers, amounting to 30, with their baggage,
were taken on board the Soho. The Perth was laden
with cattle and sheep, and 150 boxes of salmon packed
in ice, for the London market. The weather being
moderate, the passengers were removed with perfect
ease, and the captain of the Pe? th intended to pro-
ceed to Shields for repairs. Lord Sinclair, Sir Ro-
bert Mowbray, the Misses Thompson of Charlton,
Major Brown, Mr. Fortescue, Lord Charles Kerr,
&c., amounting to 80 passengers, including those
in the Perth, arrived by the Soho about twelve o'clock
last night.
Money for commercial purposes has become
considerably easier than it was a day or two past.

COURTMARTIAL ON CAPTAIN HUGH
Pico-FT, R. N.—( NINTH DAY.)—The officers com-
posing the courtmartial on Captain Hugh Pigott,
R.N., re-assembled at the usual hour, on board his
Majesty's ship Hastings, at Sheerness. Sir R. King,
the President Admiral, cross-examined at great length
Lieutenant Walker, who occupied much time by en-
tering a verbal protest against the mode of examina-
tion. Mr. Phagre, a midshipman, Oliver Glagas, a
manufacturer, established at Constantinople, were suc-
cessively examined without the elicitation of any im-
portant novelty. Mr. Thomas Pike, Master's Assist-
ant of the Hastings was under examination when the
court adjourned.

THE FIRST CONVENT IN MANCHESTER.
_A grand procession, at which all the Catholic in-
habitants assisted, took place in Manchester on Thurs-
day last. The occasion was laying the first stone of a
convent, to be called the Convent of the Four Sisters
of the Order of Visitation of St. Francis de Sales,
and its object is the education of 400 or 500 poor fe-
male children. Nothing could have a more imposing
effect tl.au the whole ceremony. The stone was laid
by the Rev. Mr. Lupton, assisted by the Rev. Mr.
Hearne, the officiating Priest at St. Patrick's chapel.
