THE NAVY.

It is sail that in consequence of the royal yacht Victoria
and Albert drawing too much water to allow of her entering
Anlwerp harbour the Qoeen will proceed thither in the
o,:bcrne ; and thit the Lords of the Admiralty, who were
about to proceed in the O,borne on a tour to the various
harbours of refuge on the coast, will embark in one of the
steam frigates—the Cu; coa or Diadem. 1t is certain that
the Curacoa is being fitted out for some extraordinary pur-
pose—rumour has said, to convey Lord Stratford de Redeliffe
from Marseilles to Constantinople.
The Cumberland, 70, Captain John B. Dickson, attended
by the paddlewheel frigate Terrible, 21, Captain Glasse, left
Spithead yesterday afternoon fur Plytnuutb, the former to
be paid off and repaired.
The Erebus, 16-gun battery, was taken into the ship bash'
at Portsmouth yesterday, fir repairs, Stc.
The Sutlej freight-ship sailed from Spithead at 1 pail
yesterday, with troops far Calcutta.
Admiral Lord Lyans's squadron, consisting of the Royal
Albert, 121; Renown, 91 : Euryalus, 51;. Diadem, 32;
Curacoa, 31, and Racoon, 21, came up to Spithead about 6
o'clock last evening, from Cherbourg.
Toe screw steam-ship Hawke, 60, Captain James Will'
cox, C. 8., from Ireland, arrived at Plymouth Sound ott
Wednesday evening, and was towed up Hamoaze, on
Thursday.
His Netherlands Majesty's screw steam-frigate Eversteef
Captain May, from Flushing, for a cruise in the Channel,
arrived in Plymouth Scund yesterday morning. She is It
new ship, and is reported to sail well. Her engines are et
400-horse power.
_ _ _

The Dee steam-vessel, Master Commander Thomas C.
Pullen, arrived at Sheerness yesterday at 8 a.m., from Pl'
mouth.

The Hydra steam—loop, Commander Hamilton, left Sheer'
ness at 10 a.m. yesterday, on a trial of her machinery, pre-
paratory to her ;calving her sailing orders.
The Norwegian man-of-war sloop Blida, Commander
Lorange, left Sheerness at 8 a.m. on Thursday, for Fade"
ricksvaern.

The important advantages derivable from the power
and efficaeay of tke portable ships' pumps employed in the
service of her Majesty's navy have induced a number
of inventors to bring forward various kinds of machinery
adopted for that purpose, a number of which have recently
undergone experiments in Woolwich dockyard, with the
suction and approval of the Board of Admiralty. Yester"
day a competitive course of experiments, continuing in'
cessantly for about four hours, was carried out between
Downton's and Roberts's pumps, the former having
been In use in her Majesty's service during the greats!.
portion of the 'present century—Ruberts's pump, whie..e
works on the principle of a steam-engine or piston piel
with two barrels, 61 inches each, double action, and 7-loch
stroke, calculated to throw 927 cubic inches of water Pe,'
stroke against Downton's, with one single 9-inch batteit
and 9-inch stroke, equal to 572 cubic inches of water pet
stroke. Consequently from the respective dimensions of the
two pumps, the one possesses 60
per cent. power or capacity
more than the other. Yesterday's exparitneuts consisted ,
filling and emptying a number of measured tanks, so!'
finally the barge itself on which the two pumps were Wei
each pump being worked by six of the dockyer?
labourers. Throughout the trials Downton's pump, not'
withstanding its inferiority in size, was pronounced 155 Pe`
cent. superior in its effect. Two extra hands were added to
the working power of Roberts's pump, leaving the origin,ll
number of six to Downton's • nevertheless the superiol
remained in favour of the latter. Several preceding frit,
reported to the Admiralty have also taken place with 0'
like results, exhibiting the superiority of the old pump.
The iron' paddlewheel steamer Princess Alice, for the ctt
veyance of Commodore Shepherd, Superintendent of Vi'o
with Dockyard, to Gravesend, to be in attendance on S,
Royal yacht, was yesterday hauled out of Woolwich basor
Preparations are in progress at Gravesend on a scale Anti
to those arranged for the departure of the Princess Ro
from England. Her Majesty is expected to -embark
Gravesend on Tuesday morning for Antwerp. The prtse
preparations are under the direction and at the expense

matters af discipline ; but the education they have
received would at the same time be found incom-
parably more profitable than if they had spent an
equal time in the public schools, properly so called,
outside the large cities. 'The chief defect in the
academy system is, I am of opinion, the meeting of
the sexes; and I am thoroughly convinced that an
amount of immorality, invisible and unattainable by
the teachers, is the inevitable result. I should
therefore, regret the introduction of their system,
unaltered, into England, as was proposed a year or
two since by a gentleman deeply interested in the
cause of popular education, and who opened his views
upon the subject to the late Dr. Gray. He pro-
posed, at the time, the establishment of a great
academy in the North of England, from which
he hoped to propagate the example, but I have
heard nothing of the consummation of the pro-
ject. As these academies can be supported at an
exceedingly low cost—an endowment of £2,000 or
£3,000, and some 100 scholars annually, would suf-
fice for efficient maintenance—l should judge that
the experiment in England, without the pernicious
element I have indicated, might prove beneficial to
the cause of education, which is at present so warmly
espoused, and especially by the excellent First Lord
of the Admiralty ; and I trust that the result of my
observations may induce some individual to look into
the matter. If I rightly understand the complaints
at present circulating, it is alleged that the middle
classes are left without adequate means of instruc-
tion, as their children cannot attend the Government
schools provided for the lower class, and are unable
on account of the expense to enjoy the advantages of
a private establishment. What then more advan-
tageous than a well-conducted academy of the des-
cription I have brought forward ?
It is precisely the " middle class school " that is
demanded, and the majority of attendants, even in
New England, are of precisely the rank in society
which finds it so difficult now in Great Britain to
meet with a suitable educational system. Glancing
at the catalogue of Berwick Academy, I notice that,
although there may be one or two individuals of
wealthy parentage iu the school, and a minority of
students exceedingly necessitous, the great bulk of
the scholars are children of farmers, tradesmen, pro-
mon, snd others who are nor.ble to com-
mand any great extent of means. The resident of
South Berwick pays but 4 guineas annually, as I
have said, for his tuition, and the students from a
distance pay only from $2 to $3.50 (Bs. to 14-_,.)
weekly for board and lodging in the village. The
experiment might, I think, be tried to advantage in I
England.

In compliance with an invitation received from
the trustees of the institution widely known as Ber-
wick Academy, I left' .New York a day or two since
for a -brief visit to this charming place, and find
myself at this moment' 300 miles from the eddying
turbulence of the metropolis, enjoying the tranquil
seclusion of the loveliest village in all New England.
The peculiar nature of the institution I have been
called' upon to visit will render, I imagine, a brief
account .of its scope and purport not uninteresting to
Your-readers.
The systems of public instruction pursued in many
of the different States have been so fully examined
and reported upon by British, French, German, and
Scandinavian writers, that some general idea of the
subject may readily be obtained even by the inhabi-
tants of European countries—although, unfortu-
nately, most of the writers on American education dis-
play far more reliance in themselves and in bare sta-
tistics than patient investigation or critical experience
but of the means of instruction accessible to those
who demand a higher, yet equally inexpensive, grade
of tuition than is afforded in the public schools, very
little, if anything, is known abroad. To meet the
requirements of this large class there has arisen in the
rural districts of the United States the Academy—
an educational establishment regularly chartered by
the Legislature of the State, but generally endowed
or supported by private individuals, which subserves
t wo important ends. In the first place, it prepares
students for the university, training them for from
two to four years in the studies prescribed by the
collegiate formula; and, in the second place, it
affords to youth, often of both sexes conjointly, a
complete and marvellously cheap education, or an
opportunity to study for as long a period as the
pupil may be able to devote to scholastic pursuits.
The academy, in a word, stands midway between the
public and the private school, and it has become a
regularly recognised element in American education.
As such, and as a very favourable specimen of the
whole, I will devote a few lines to Berwick Academy,
with the design and operation of which I have been
for several years familiar. The institution ranks
third, I believe, in New England—the aueisut and
wealthy foundations at Exeter, New Hampshire, and
Andover, Mass., alone taking precedence, and its
fame is widely diffused throughout the Union. It
dates from 1791, when some gentlemen of Maine (at
that time a dependency of Massachusetts) obtained a
Legislative grant enabling them to lay the founda-
tions of an academy, which private enterprise and
munificence have subsequently maintained and fos-
tered. To quote the language of an official docu-
cument before me, its object is to afford a " complete
education to young ladies ; to prepare, thoroughly,
young men for entering college ; or to fit them
for the duties of active business life." The
comprehensive scope of such an institution
is seen at once in the phraseology of this
statement; and its wide expansion, while thoroughly
characteristic of the nation, is, I cannot but think, a
decided flaw—which it shares, however, with most
of the foundations bearing a similar title. There
may be found at Berwick Academy boys and girls of
twelve and fourteen, with young men and young
women of twenty to twenty-five—and I shall have
more to say of the consequences ensuing upon the
unrestrained intercourse between the sexes. The
scholastic year is divided into four terms of ten
weeks each, and for the regular course of studies, in-
cluding classics, mathematics, the French language,
English branches, and the natural sciences, the fees
are but five donais per term, or four guineas per
Euar.orissnatiaer a, is.
,5.45;,:p.0
additional cost.
For this wonderfully moderate sum a youth has the
advantage of excellent teachers, and is permitted to
compete for various prizes annually awarded, among
which are scholarships—endowments which ensure
to the meritorious recipient 100 dols. per annum
during his stay at college. At the conclusion of
each summer term a great examination and exhibi-
tion takes place, to which visitors from different parts
of the Union are summoned, and it was upon this
occasion that my presence was desired by the kindly
and learned principal, Mr. Ichabod Goodwin, A.M.
The attendance at Berwick Academy is exrtemely
varied. It is tolerably equally divided between
males and females, and the average age I should
estimate at 16, but one finds upon the benches repre-
sentatives of every grade of society. The elegant
young lady of " the first families " sits side by side
with some poor girl who works three-quarters of the
ysar in the neighbouring cotton mills, in order that
the remainder may be devoted to intellectual im-
provement. A young, woman upon whose features
the stiffening shadow of poverty is struggling with the
ardent flush of awakened intelligence, has as neigh-
bour some thoughtless child of twelve; and in the
male department the difference is still more marked.
Although the majority of students arc natives
of New England, there are occasionally representa-
tives of other and more distant States, and during
the principalship of the late distinguished and deeply
lamented Dr. Gray (a native of Chelmsford, Essex),
pupils were sent from the furthest South and West.
A portion of the students are always preparing for
college, and this class forms the elite of the school ;
another division confines their attention to the prac-
tical details of an English education, being intended
for the pursuits of a mercantile career; and a third
department consists of young men in the neighbour-
hood—sons of farmers or tradesmen—who attend the
academy irregularly, and pick up in the intervals
of labour the elements of necessary knowledge.
Some few, who are unable even to afford
the trivial expense of tuition fees, perform
in lieu thereof various useful offices, such as splitting
wood, lighting fires, sweeping the rooms, &c., and the
most determined "and progressive scholars are usually
found amonz these young men. Daniel We bster
obtained in this manner his early education. The
Hon. Eli Thayer, of Massachusetts, is another ex-
ample ; and some of your readers may possibly
recollect the account I gave in your columns some
six months since of that gentleman's struggles, suc-
cess, and energetic plans for the colonisation of
Virginia and other equally uninhabited countries.
For the instruction of all these applicants for know-
lege there is at every academy a principal, a pre-
ceptress, or superintendent of the female department,
and of course a staff of teachers, varying with the
number of scholars in attendance.
This, then, i© the plan of a New England academy,
differing from that of a public school in the fact of
its greater range of studies, its admission of scholars
from any quarter, instead of from a strictly limited
district, its lack of compulsion with regard to
the studies to be pursued, and its reception of
male, together with female, pupils. The public
schools outside the large cities being unusually so
deplorably bad, there is no choice for an aspiring
youth but attendance at the academy, or a resort to
some urban school ; and the academy, therefore, is
generally well attended. As I have said, the instruc-
tion is usually of an excellent character, and decid-
edly so at Berwick ; but it must be borne in mind
that it is of a lower grade than would be looked for
from a similar institution in England : as, according
to the common saying, a graduate of an American is
just sufficiently advanced in study to matriculate at
an leglish college : so the academicians of New
England would be found, on the average, considera-
bly behind an equal number of British scholars of the
same age and standing. Their acquirements would,pro-
bably, be found more varied, but far less solid, and they
would be greatly behind the J3ritidi standard in

I cannot close this letter without a few words con-
cerning one whom I have already mentioned—the
late Joseph Bowers Gray, M.R.C.S. This noble
Englishman, whose name is familiar to very many of
your readers, was for some length of time Principal
of Berwick Academy, which he raised by his won-
derful genius to a level with the highest institution
of learning in the land. Dr. Gray—a most skilful
surgeon, a profound mathematician, by common con-
sent the most thorough and eminent classical scholar
America has ever possessed, an unsurpassed dicipli-
narian, and a writer seldom equalled in elegance as
well as force—had resided for some eight years in
the United States at the time of his premature de-
cease. At the age of 37 he assumed the principal-
ship at South Berwick, where he laboured with more
than characteristic energy during the space of two
years, until at ,length, in October, 1856, he suc-
cumbed to the influence of 20 years' unre-
mitting and almost unparalleled labour, and ex-
pired, in the beginning of November, amid
the tears of an entire community. Such was the
rttny=--a" fun 'ph it.l?)^,t norry,r a
to attend his funeral, and shortly followed him, in
consequence of her exposure, to the grave. I have
just stood beside his final resting-place in the secluded
cemetery which he loved, and his many relatives may
have some satisfaction iu knowing that his tomb is
not neglected. One of the works of Dr. Gray, a
critical edition of the " Aias of Sophocles," which is
used as a text-book at Harvaid College,was published
some years ago by Chapman, in London. He was
also the author of some chemical works, of many
contributions to periodical literature, and exercised
controlling influence during the late Russian war
through his powerful articles in the editorial columns
of a leading Boston journal. He had also nearly
completed at the time of his decease an improved
grammar of the Greek language. The extraordi-
narily retiring nature of his disposition alone pre-
vented his assuming that position in the eye of the
wort' to which his emoluments and his erudition
were a title.

CLEVEDON, FRIDAY MORNING.
Yesterday afternoon the coroner for the eastern division
of Somersetshire commenced an irquest at the Rockhouee
Tavern on the bodies of Elizabeth Townley Williams and
William John Williams, two children aged respectively three
and a half years and eight months, whose remains had been
found under circumstances which leave no room for doubt-
ing that they were both murdered by their mother Eliza-
, both Williams. The horrible affair has created an extra-
ordinary sensation in the little torn, which, it being the
' height of the watering season, is unusually SuU:of fashion-
I able resident, and the inquest room, and tete approaches to
, it, were so densely thronged, that it was with great diffi-
culty those having hu,incss could find ingress and egress.
Ac the commencement of the proceedings the coroner
:aid he understood that the Nvo in an who was sup-
posed to have caused the deaths of the two children
was in the custody of the pence. Now, apart from the
question of whether it was better that she should hear the
statements to be made against her, he considered her
ocpre-
sence desirable, in order for the witnesses to Fee and identify
her, and he must therefore require the superintendent to
send for her. This direction being acted upon the mother

The jury having discharged the painful duty of viewing the
bodies of the unhappy children, the following evidence was
was taken :
Mr. Edward Jones, supeeintendant of the Somersetsbire
county constabulary, deposed that be was stationed at Long
Ashton, a village about 10 miles from Clevedon, and close to Bristol. On Wednesday, the roman Elizabeth Williams,
who stated herself to be the wife of William Henry eVilliams,
of Churchill-place,. St. George's, Gloucestershire, was
brought to his office by Police-constable Francis, No. 133,
who tole him that she wished to make a
.statement as to a
murder she had committed. He cautioned her to be careful
what she said, but upon her repeating that she wished to make
her statement he took it down as follows :—" On Monday
morning last my husband vvae cool tome in consequence of run
not having paid some taxes. We had a few words, and I told
him I would leave him, and he said I had better go. I
remained at home with my children tbat day, and my
husband on his return that night appearel cool, and did not
speak kind as usual. Oa the following uwerning I got up and
prepared breakfast for my husband and two children, and we
breakfasted together. He was then kited to me. On leaving the
house to go 'to work he kissed the two children, and after he
was gone I dressed both the children and took them out with a
view to carry out mytbreat oflea eirig him. Iwent tothe Bristol
and Exeter Railway station irt Bristol, and took tickets for
Clevedon, and left with my children by the ten minutes to
three train, and arrived at Clevedon about four o'clock that
afternoon. As soon as I got to Clevedon I went to
a shop near the railwrey, and bought a tart and some
gingerbread for the children. I then walked. about
Clevedon until eight or nine o'cicck, and then went
into a beer-house near the Bristol Hotel, and had a
glass of beer. I then. 'walked about the town, and round the
beach till about 10 o'clock. I sat on a seat facing the water,
and my two children went to sleep in my arms. I walked
down the sands. I met the tide with my two children in my
arms. I walked some distance into the water, and then
threw myself down with the children into the water, and
the childre,a still asleep in my arms. I then got up, leav-
ing my two children in the water, and went and sat on the
beach to see if my children washed ashore. I waited some tinie
but never saw them afterwards. Before I went into the
water I put my bonnet and mantle on the sands at the edge
of the water. I also wrote a letter-to my husband, which I
pieced on the heesli. I then walked away, and, had net
r Joe fee tisaen I saw two boys standing with a light at a
stable door near the spot. I heard the boys say, 'That woman
es mad,' but I did not speak to them. I walked on the
road to Ashton." As soon as witness. received this state-
ment he rode to Clevedon and found that the bodies of the
two children had been washed in by the tide, and had been
found by a man named William Somerton, n tiler and plas-
terer. The bonnet and mantic witness found, as they had
been picked up on the beach.
By the Jury—When the prisoner came to me she was
without hornet or mantle, and her clothes were saturated
with mud anti water.
Mr. Somerton deposed to having, at about half-past one
o'clock, found the bodies on the beach. They were washed
ashore at a point called "The Little Harp." A man named
James, who was with him, picked up the woman's bonnet
and mantle.

Lysond Williams, grandfather of the children, deposed to
having on Tuesday met his daughter-in-law with them in
Dimple-street, Bristol. She looked sad, and, upon his
asking her where she was going, said she was going for a
walk. She wished him good bye, and went in the direction
of the railway.
Millicent Salmon, the beer-house ker per referred to by
the prisoner, deposed to her and her two children having
come to his house on Tuesday evening, and had a glass of
beer. She gave her children some cakes, and appeared a
fond mother. She left after drinking the beer.
Some other evidence was called, and Dr. Davies was
examined, and proved that the deaths of the children had
been caused by drowning.
The prisoner declined saving anything excepting that she
had paid the rate for which the man, she said, had put in an
execution.

PROPOSED EXTENSION OF TILE WEST-END OF
LONDON AND CRYSTAL PALACE RAILWAY.—This
company have, it is said, taken steps for the early accom-
plishment of one of the most important metropolitan lines
yet proposed. It is intended to start by a junction with the
Victoria Station Railway, on the north side of the Thames,
so as to make use of the proposed Victoria Railway Bridge
across the river for southern traffic, and also to give access
to all railways on the north side of London, the Great
Western included, to the Pimlico Victoria Station, West-
minster. The line would pass along the north margin of
the Thames, Kensington Canal, anti •‘ Punch's" Railway,
and join bath the Northern and Great Western Railways.
The properly which such a line could intersect is of that
character that the railway would be made at a moderate
cost, and, with the amount of traffic which would inevitably
come upon it, would doubtless make it very remunerative.
The railway has been very judiciously laid out, and the
surveys completed under the direction of Mr. Hamilton
Fulton, the engineer to the West-end Railway Company.
The Kensington and Notting-hill residents will by this line
be placed within half-an-hour's ride of the Crystal Palace,
and a proportionate saving of time will be obtained by the
inhabitants of the northern districts of London.

I should despair of conveying to your readers
even so much as an adumbration of the wonderful
beauty of this locality. From my window at Old
Fields, the residence of the Principal, Mr. Goodwin,
a prospect, which cannot be equalled out of the most
lovely parts of Devon or Somersetshire, is obtained,
and every charm that] hill and valley, rock and
foliage, embnivered dwellings and sloping meadows
can lend, is here. From the eminence on which the
academy is built, again, the eye can sweep from the
faint and glimmering summit of Mount WaPhington,
150 miles away on the north-west, to the purple
line of the New Hampshire hills in the
southern distance, and from the silvery Newiche-
wannock river, in the valley of the Salmon
Falls, to the dark and dense pine forests which
extend, unbroken in their gloomy grandeur, almost
to the very shores of the Atlantic. Mr. Francis B.
Hayes, the president of the Board of Trustees, pos-
sesses the original deed of transfer, executed more
than 1.50 years ago, by which the large estates in
possession of his family at South Berwick passed
from the hands of the Indian owners of the soil. It
is signed by the totem of the chief—a rude delinea-
tion of a warrior, with arms and limbs spread out.
Quampegan was one of the earlicq settlements of
the Puritans in Maine, and the sloping ktnks of a
lake near "Old Fields" are still known as the
"Vineyard," from the fact of their having been
planted with vines by the settlers, who were de-
ceived by the genial summer into the belief that the
climate of Southern Europe awaited them in the
valley of the River-Abounding-In-Fish. The snows
of November soon, however, undeceived them ; but
the designation still remains to the scene of their
hopeful attempt.

JOCKEYS IN FRANCE.

Three English trainers of racehorses well known on the
Ltd AVICIAAMMIctqIt,AcRiRri,,PI ~h ye
mary of the allegations made against them :—Boldrick,
trainer to Mine. Latache de Fay, formed the project of
getting into his own hands that lady's mate Veins; and, in
order to obtain her cheaply, he made several jockeys prevent
her fr4rn winnin- in nets, when she might have done. At
Versailles, In July, 113J)7, in particular, it was so evident that
Valera might have won the Selling Stakes If her jockey,
Abdale, had not prevented her, that there was a general
outcry, and the stewards fined Abdale a large sum, and
ordered that he should not be allowed to ride again for a
year. About that time it was well known that Yalna was for
sale, and M. Reiset, of the Jockey Club, offered 3,000 f. for
her, but the offer was not accepted. M. Reiset subsequently
proposed 4,000 f., but Boldrick, with some embarrassment,
said that he had sold the mare that very morning for
4,000 f.; he, however, would not say to whom. A sum of

M. Thieret, a postborse master cf Rheims, possesses a
racing stud at apiece called Eppes; and he, on the recom-
mendation of Ashman, junior, who was his trainer, had at
about the time of the Versailles races of last year consented
to purchase Valeta for 4,000 f., and had Own Ashman
I,loof, to pay on account, at the same time handing him a
letter by which he authorised the seller to draw on him
(Thierot) for the remaining 2,900 f. The mare was given up
to Ashman, inn., and was conveyed by him to Eppes. At
this epoch M. Thierot fell seriously ill, and remained so
till December. The first thing he did on recovering was
to visit his stud, and lie was greatly surprised at not
finding Valna in the :stable. To the questions he put,
Ashman gave etalnrrassed answers, and at last said that
Vaina was at his father's, a trainer at Chantilly, and
that M. Thierot was only one-fourth owner of her, the
other three-fourths being held by other parties, in
prsof of which he remarked that M. Thierot bad only paid
1,000 f., the additional 100 f. having been absorbed in expensee.,

FEARFUL YACHT ACCIDENT AT CLEVEDON.—
THREE PERSONS DEOWNED.—A very painful sensation
has been produced at Clevedon through the occurrence cf
an accident to a yacht, by which a gentleman, a coast-
guardsman, and a waterman were drowned, I,nd others hid
a narrow escape. It would seem that Mr. Thomas Berry-
man, a young gentleman, whose family resides at Wells,
came down to Clevedon to spend a little time with
Mr. Edward Lavington, wine merchant, who carried
on business in partnership with his brother, at
Clevedon and Bristol. It was proposed that they
should go out for a sail, and a yacht was engaged, which
was manned by a waterman named Wade, Alfred Thorne, a
coast guardsman, and a boatman named Joseph Harvey.
They had got out about a mile into the bay when the order
was given to put the boat upon another tack, and the helm
was shifted with that object. Unfortunately, the cordage
of the yacht being new, it did not work smoothly in the iron
rings, and the principal sail not working, the boat cap-
sized. Two of the men, Thorne and Harvey, sunk
immediately, and were supposed to have get under
the boat, as they were not again seen. Mr. Berryman, .Mr.
Lavington and Wade swam about and caught hold of the
oars, and the bolt still keeping afloat contrived to get on to
ber, so as to hold on by her bottom. The sea kept
washingl over them, and in the course of an hour Mr.
Lavington said to Wade—" I am very cold, and
cannot hold on any longer. It is all over
with me." A waie then came and washed him off, and be
sunk, in the presence of his companions, to rise no mere.
Soon after, Mr. Berryman was washed cif; hut, making a
desperate effort, he swam once more to the disabled yacht,
and regained his hold. The two survivors contrived to bold
on, and just as they were becoming too exhausted to hold
eat much longer, a schooner descried them, and bore down
anti took them off. Mr. Lavington, who was only '2B years
old, was greatly respected in the town. He has left two
young children and a wife, who is approaching confinement
with her third.

HORRIBLE DEATH.--On Tuesday evening, a boy,
aged three years. named Dennis Rilldart, son of Sarah Kill-
dart, widow, cf Lord-street, Oldham, was playing with
some other children in Tommy-field, when he accidentally
fell into a lime-pit, in which some lime was being slaked,
and though he Was got out in a very short time, he was so
severely burned that he died immediately after be was
IMO out of the boiling lime,

M. Thierot then took legal proceedings to obtain posses-
sion of Valna, and the Civil Tribunal of Senlis decided that
he was the legitimate owner of her, and should bare her on
payment of the 2900 f. remaining due. After this the younger
Ashman fled to England, taking with him a young gill of
Eppes, hot she before long returned and stated that he was
dying of hunger in London. At this stare of the proceed-
ings the elder Ashman confessed that he was not the pro-
wit toe of \robin, but that Boldrick and his son were, and
that he had represented• himself to be the owner, and
bad executed the decd produced mor ely to chlige
Bul-
dtick, who did not want Mine. Lataehe de Fey or the
Jockey Club to knew that he had a penniary interest
in the animal. The elder Ashman added that Boldrick
had complained that though he (Buldrick) and Ashman,
junior, were to share the winnings of Vahan, tf er pay-
ing the expenses of her keep, Ashman, junior, had apppro-
printed nearly the whole of them, and that he (Ashman,
senior) bad accordingly accompanied Boldrick to Eppes to
make his sou pay, but had only got 1,500 f. from him. With
this sum he said Boldrick was not satisfied, and bed accord-
ingly caused Value to be removed to Chantilly. Boldrick,
on his part, could not deny that he and Ashman, junior, had
possessed Valna in common ; but he erereetically denied
that when she was the property of Mme. Latache de Fay he
bad made her lose at Versailles, or elsewhere.
The tribunal, af, er hearing all the circumstances, came to
the conclusion that neither Boldrick nor Ashman, senior,
had been guilty of swindling, and discharged them. As to
Ashman, junior, it condemned him by default to two years'
inept isonment. In the course of the proceedings it was stated
that Baron, the smith of Eppes, had taken advantage of his
knowledge that something wrong was being done about
Value to make trim Ashman, junior, marry his sister-in-
law, Sidonie Nottleel. It was also stated that Valna re-
' cently was put up to auction, and purchased by Count do
Lagrange for 7,400 f.

MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT AT BRIGHTON
—A melancholy accident terminating in death, took place no

the railings enciesing the course, was thrown cii' and
precipitated to the ground, his hors's feet having caught
'he railing. The horse fell upon the rider and most seriously
injured him. A fly was immediately sent for, and he was
conveyed, without delay, to the Sussex County Hospital.
