WRECK OF THE PARAMATTA.

The following are some additional particulars
relative to the wreck of the royal mail steamship
Paramatta, briefly referred to in The Sun of yes-
terday :
The Paramatta left Southampton on the 17th ult.
with about 60 passengers and the West India and
Pacific mails, under the command of Capt. Baynton,
one of the most skilful and careful commanders in
the Royal Mail Company's service. She was 3,092
tons burden and 800 horse-power. She was a new
ship, built by the Thames Iron-ship Building Com-
pany. She was likely to be a fast steamer, and was
one of the largest and handsomest paddle-wheel
steamers afloat. The Paramatta was intended ulti-
mately to run from Southampton to Colon, the
eastern ei'l of the Panama Railway. She had a
fine pass_lge out, but as she approached within 50
miles of St. Thomas she ran ashore on a part of the
Anegada Reef, known as the Horseshoe Reef, about
9.30 p.m. on the 30th ult. A boat was put off to
St. Thomas's to give intelligence of the disaster,
and arrived there on the Ist inst. The whole of
the Royal Mail fleet at that port were immediately
sent to render assistance to the ill-fated vessel. The
whole of the passengers, crew, mails, passengers'
luggage, and cargo were saved. There was about
5 fathoms of water under the bow and stern of the
vessel. She was to be rendered as light as possible,
and then an attempt would be Inade to haul her off.
It was supposed that she would have to be got off
by her head, as there was another reef not far from
her stern. Two hulks were sent out from St. Thomas,
to lift her bow up, and two anchors and two chain
cables, which were taken out to her by the Med-
way, would be used to drag here from where she is
stranded. The Governor of Tortola had ordered
150 black labourers to proceed to the Anegada
Reef, for the purpose of rendering assistance. The
chief fear as to her safety was the approach of the
hurricane months. Captain Baynton was, how-
ever, in good spirits, and sanguine as to the vessel
being floated.

EDINBURGH AND GLASGOWRAILWAY COMPANY T. PRO-

VOST, &C. OFLINLITHGOW.

This is an appeal from a d,cision of the Court of Session
in Scotland, holding the ralway company liable to pay
town transit dues or custons on all goods, &c. brought
within, or passing by, or through the burgh.
The respondents vest their cairns on ancient charters and
Acts of Parliament to the bur, and in particular a charter
of town and bridge dues offer the river Eden by King
Robert TI., confirmed by Kint James and other Kings of
Scotland. The appellants dent their liability, and rely on
their Railway Act to show their exemption and non-
liabliity.

The Lord Chancellor called the attention of counsel to a
preliminary point to be settled, 'viz., that no interlocutor was
pronounced in the amended action now appealed; the interlo-
cutor was pronounced in the original action. The Attorney-
General for the appellants, and Sir Fitzroy Kelly for the
respondents, consented to take thgnterlocutor in the original
action as the interlocutor in the amended action.

The Attorney-General is now being heard for the Rail-
way company.

Mr. George Young, of the bar of Scotland ; counsel for the
respondents—Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Q.C., and Mr. Jas. Ander-

COURT OF BANIRUPTCY`.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.)
IN RE MILLER.-LITIGATIOE IN PERSPECTIVE.

This bankrupt was described as of Devonshire-square,
colonial broker, and this was a meeting for the choice
of assignees. From the accounts by Messrs. Hart, it ap-
pears the debts are £1,200, assets £1,500. The bank-
rupt came before the Court in consequence of several actions
in ejectment having been brought by a person named Car-
ter, in respect of some pfoperty held by him.
The assignees chosen intimated that they would file a
bill in Chancery against Carter to. prevent his proceeding
in the actions, and defend them if continued.

THE INCOME TAX.

With respect to the proposed Income Tax, the 1
Times' City article remarks :—" The Budget,
although it has dispelled any expectations that.
may have been entertained of a loan, has not
exercised material influence on the. Stock-mar-
ket. The general feeling regarding it cannot be
said to be completely satisfactory. Objectors com-
plain that after the long suspense scarcely a single
improvement has been suggested, or any idea ached
upon but the old one of breakin„7, all promises c n-
cerninr* the income tax, and that eventhis is ace n-.
1
paniedby the needless inconvenience of the a g-
mated impost being thrown suddenly on one per , od
of the year, as well as by a recurrence to the demo-
ralising precedent of exempting certain classes iby
a departure from the pro rata principle. It is also
regretted that there was not even an allusion to
such points as the expediency or otherwise of ;an
export duty on coal, the equalisation of the sugar
duties; the better adjustment of the probate duty,
&c., which have been for months past the subject
of active discussion. The necessity that the increase
in the income-tax should be all✓ levied in a single
half-year is wholly disputed, since any requisite tem-
porary advance on the security of its future collec-
tion could be obtained from the Bank of England.
There is a feeling, moreover, that nothing could be
more calculated to prejudice. the existing ardour
for national defence than a large and inequitable
income-tax ; and it is noticed in confirmation of
this that on the conclusion of his statement, tr.
Gladstone was favoured on the part of two or three
economical members with the doubtful commenda-
tion that his proposals wiil be especially likely to
' awaken the attention of the 'nation to the extra-
vagance of our expenditure.' Those who would
be termed alarmists are disposed to consider that,
at a moment like the present, preparation shbuld
be made no less as regards money than men ; that
a good reserve should be held in hand, and that for
that purpose a moderate loan should have been
raised while Consols are at 95, leaving the income-
tax as an ulterior resource. That we shall now
have no reserve, notwithstanding the new pressure
put upon the people, was admitted last night; and
it was pleaded that 67 articles in the Customs'
tariff which impede trade and yield only £7,000
must be continued because reform cannot be at-
tempted until there shall be ' dome margin between
revenue and expenditure to operate upon.' "

HER MAJESTY'S SHIP DAUNTLESS.

A letter in a contemporary says :—" Understand-
ing that it is the intention of the Admiralty to send
the Dauntless to the coast of Africa, I trust you
will insert in your columns these few remarks,
which may possibly deter the authorities from
taking so unjust and dangerous a step. This ship
is of all others the one most unsuited for that sta-
tion. She is badly ventilated, and cramped in her
quarters. In her first commission, in the West
Indies, she lost by fever nearly- half her officers, and
between 80 and 90 of her crew. She is prover-
bially one of the most unhealthy ships in the ser-
vice. Her lower deck is not flush like other frigates,
but is divided into two parts by her engines. This
The Termagant,
commissioned affects the ventilation.
commissioned a short time ago for the coast, which,
unlike the Dauntless, has a flush lower deck, was
not sent there,"on account of her bad ventilation,
the case being brought before the House of Com-
mons ; and this ship is appointed to take her place
when there are so many others far better suited for
that station, especially corvettes of the Pearl class.
There is not a naval man who does not exclaim
against the injustice and
.cruelty of sending the
Dauntless to the coast of Africa ; nor will any ablc-
bodied seaman join her, and, although she has been
five weeks in commission, she still wants half her
complement. Why of all others the Admiralty
should pick out. the plague ship' for the coast of
Africa it is difficult to imagine. I trust our brave
tars may be yet spared serving in this ship on that
unhealthy station, and that the Admiralty will re-
consider her destination, remembering experieitia
docet,

BILL,

Mr. BLACK moved the second reading of this bill. He
said that the tax which it was proposed to abolish was
founded in injustice, because it compelled the majority to
pay for the benefit of the minority. In support of that
statement he referred to the census of 1851, from which it
appeared that, on one Sunday, the number which attended
churches and chapels was 48,886. Of that number only*
8,674 went to the State Church, while 15,315 attended the
Free Church, 12,792 the Presbyterian Church, and
12,205 the churches of the smaller denominations, so
that four-fifths of the inhabitants wee forced to
pay for the religious teaching of one-fifth, and that teach-
ing by some of them was regarded as heretical. The result
of the late debate on the Church Rates Abolition Bill was
a very significant fact, but the Dissenters in this country
had not to complain of so much injustice in the payment of
those rates that the Dissenteis in Scotland had with
reference - to the present impost. In the former-
case the Dissenters were called on to contribute-
only for the maintenance 'Gf the fabric of the' Church,
but in the latter they were required ,to pay for the
support of the ministers of a church from which they con-
scientiously dissented. The present tax was greater in
hardship than ministers' ligoney in Ireland, because it was
not limited, as in the latter, to 305., on any one per-
son, but might be raised to the extent of £2O
or £3O. The injustice of the tax was apparent,
and the only reason he could assign for its having been
borne silently for so long a time was, that the inhabitants
of Edinburgh considered that they would receive relief from
the house, in consequence of the bills which had been in-
troduced. The hon. member having adverted t 9 some of
the arguments which had been advanced against the bill,
which he contended were totally fallacious, proposed
the adoption of the voluntary principle as a substitute for
the impost in question. .
Mr. BLACKBURN said that he did not rise for the
purpose of opposing the bill, but merely to ask the intention
of the Government with reference to it: . •
. .

.
Sir C. LEWIS said that he had no hesitation in stating
that he would support the second reading of the bill, but
he admitted there was a great difficulty in finding an effi-
cient substitute for the tax which it was proposed to
abolish., He thought there was a strong similarity
between Ministers' money in Ireland and the present
impost. (Hear, hear.) It should be recollected that
the hon. member who brought forward the bill preserved
the rights of the existing incumbents, so that there could
be no objection to the provisions on the ground of its in-
flicting any hardship on them. In the event of the bill
not passing this session, he proposed that Government,
next session, should introduce a measure on the subject and
provide an adequate substitute for the tax that the bill was
introduced to abolish. (Hear, hear.)

POINT.

NEW YORK, July 9, Evening.
The three steamers, Adriatic, Atlantic, and
Baltic, comprising the Collins line formerly running
between New York and Liverpool, were to-day
sold to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, to be
employed in the California mail services ; the price
has not transpired.
The steamer Bremen left here to-day for South-
ampton, with 120 passengers and 590,030 dollars
in specie.
The steamer Karnak arrived here to-day with
Havannah advices of 2d inst. The yellow fever
cases on board the shipping are said to be neither
so numerous nor of so malignant a character as
during the last two years. Clayed sugars had
advanced one half rci per arroba. Molasses were
without demand.

WASHINGTON, July 9.
It is now understood that the Russian Govern
London, England, 1859-07-20

our Ecclesiastical Courts, the last remnant of eccle- 1
siastical power in England, of all their civil work
They will soon be a nullity. Izish Catholics would
never hear of an ecclesiastical Viceroy or Sovereign.
And what we would reject for ou:rselves we reject
for Italians—well knowing, indeed, that they
share, from present bitter experience, our senti-
ments on this point. _

Till these two main evils in the peace made in
his fright by Louis NAPOLEON be eliminated, we
hold, then, that England must leave both parties
to agree to what they please, but not herself recog-
nise the agreement. Already things begin to look
unpleasant everywhere, and we should be no way
surprised if the retreat from Verona prove like the
retreat from Acre, Moscow, or Torres Vedras—
the beginning of the End.

Loss OF THE JOHN WADE—GULF OF 51A31.-It ap-
pears that the, spot where the John Wade was wrecked in
the Gulf of Siam, on the 26th of April, was situate in lat.
10 40 N., long 101 48 E. In the present charts there is no
mention of any such rock, and soundings have been obtained
of 36 fathoms for a distance of 60 to 70 miles from the spot.
The Government officer recently employed in the survey of
the Gulf of Siam is disposed to doubt the existence of the
rock in that position, and the British Consul at Bankok
writes that it is doubted there. The assumed rock will,
however, now be inserted in the Admiralty charts, marked
with a " P."

TIIE FAMILY OF HENRI- CORT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE -TIMES.
Sir,---On various occasions I have read with plea-
sure your notices of the inventions of Henry Cort,
but regret to find that your able advocacy Of his
children's claims has not been properly appre-
ciated either by the Government or the public.
It is well known that the discovery of the arts of
puddling, piling, welding, fagotting, and rolling
iron belongs to Henry Cort ; and it is also known
that these processes have been carried on , with
great success and with great benefit to the country
for the last 70 years. It is, however, perhaps, not
so generally known that Cort expended a fbrtune
of upwards of £20,000 in perfecting his inventions,
that he was robbed of the fruits of his discoveries
by the villany of an official in a high department
of Government, and that, cheated and persecuted,
he was ultimately allowed to starve by the apathy
and selfishness of an ungrateful country.
When these facts are borne in mind, and it has
been ascertained,that his inventions have conferred
yment to
mpl
eo
upon the country an amount oiven f wealth equivalent
to £600,000,000 sterling, and g
600,000 of the working population of our land
during the last three generations, we are surely
justified in referring with pride to results of such
vast importance while we insist upon the duty
which devolves upon the nation to rescue from
all
penury and distress the descendants of such a bene-
factor.
An appeal was recently made through the pages

tof
Times,

pre-
vious appeals, it was barren of result. Once more,
tplui rboliuegi ht they to
are still living one son and two ,
daughters of
Henry Cort, whose united age s now exceed 200
years, and who are destitute of the most Meagre
comforts of life. Assuredly such a state of things
should not be • in a count •
ly where charity is no
boast such claims should need no other advocacy
than publicity.
I offer through you, sir, a donation of £lOO to-
wards a n
at-; onal
subscription for the relief of these
aged persons. The leading ironmasters of the
country will, I doubt not, fill up the lists with
much larger sums.
The
case is one for prompt and
generous relief. The Government should do some-
thing, but, as in many former and noteworthy cases
and things,will only I fear the '
e tendered cases
assistance from that quarter
when it is too late.
In this appeal for the benefit of a distressed
family I have not noticed what is due to its
founder's memory ; but, looking at the services he
has rendered to the iron trade and our iron con-
structions, I venture to affirm that the name of

THAMES.

STEALING A WATCH ON BOARD SHIP.—John Dris-
coll, an Irish sailor, aged 20, of No. 16, New-street, Lime-
house, was charged with stealing a silver watch, value £4,
the property of Ole Larsen, a seaman belonging to the
Norwegian barque Janger Ratf, ling in the West India
Dock.

The prisoner was seen last evening about the ship while
the crew were busily engaged, and he was missed for a few
minutes, and then observed to get through the window of
the cabin, or round house, upon deck, and leave the ship.
Larsen, a seaman, went into the cabin and missed his watch.
It was hanging on a nail in the cabin a few minutes pre-
viously. The alarm was given, and an immediate pursuit
was made. The prisoner finding himself closely hunted by
his pursuers, went to a heap of rubbish and concealed
the watch. He was leaving the heap when a police con-
stable named Watkinson, No. 214 K, made his ap-
pearance, and said to the prisoner, " I want you, what have
you done with the watch ?" The prisoner replied, " There
it is," and it was found among the rubbish.
Larsen identified his watch, and valued it at £4.
The prisoner in, an audible voice said, " I am guilty, my
lord, it is the first time I have ever been in trouble."
Sentenced to four months' imprisonment and hard labour.
ANOTHER ROBBERY IN THE WEST INDIA DOCK.—
John Coghlan, an Irish labourer, was brought before Mr.
Self, charged with stealing an ingot of copper value 95.,
from the hold of the ship Cincinnatus, lying in the West
India Dock.

Yesterday afternoon the prisoner was leaving the dock
on the termination of the business of the day, and was
stopped and "rubbed down" by a dock constable named
West,' who found an ingot of copper under his clothes. It
was tied up in the tail of his shirt. He was asked where
he obtained it, to which ho replied that he found it under
some wood. It was ascertained that the prisoner had been
at work on board the ship Cincinnatus, land an ingot
of copper was missing from the hold. The stevedore em-
ployed to stow the cargo said the prisoner was in his ser-
vice, and he wished him to be punished, as an example to
others, for similar robberies had been very frequent, and the
stevedores got into trouble by the misconduct of their men.
Mr. Selfe convicted the prisoner of unlawful possession
of the eoppei, and sentenced him to one month's imprison-
ment and hard labour.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS .DAY. )

HOUSE OF LORDS.
Peers present—The Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham,

Lord Cranworth, Lord Chelmsford, and other peers.

EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY COMPANY T. PRO-

YOST, &C. OF LINLITHGOW.

This is an appeal from a decision of the Court of Session
in Scotland, holding the railway company liable to pay
town transit dues or customs on all goods, &c. brought
within, or passing by, or through the burgh.
The respondents vest their claims on ancient charters and
Acts of Parliament to the burgh, and in particular a charter
of town and bridge dues over the river Eden by King
Robert 11., confirmed by King James and other Kings of
Scotland. The appellants deny their liability, and rely on
their Railway Act to show their exemption and non-
liability.

The Lord Chancellor called the attention of counsel to a
preliminary point to be settled, viz., that no interlocutor was
pronounced in the amended action now appealed; the interlo-
cutor was pronounced in the original action. The Attorney-
General for the appellants, and Sir Fitzroy Kelly for the
respondents, consented to take the interlocutor in the original
action as the interlocutor in the amended action.

The Attorney-General is now being heard for the Rail-
way company.

Counsel for the appellants—the Attorney-General, and
Mr. George Young, of the bar of Scotland ; counsel for the
respondents—Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Q.C., and Mr. Jas. Ander-
son, Q.C.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.)
IN RE MILLER.-LITIGATION IN PERSP,ECrIVE.

This bankrupt was described as of Devonshire-square,
colonial broker, and this was a meeting for the choice
of assignees. From the accounts by Messrs. Hart, it ap-
pears the debts are £1,200, assets £1,500. The bank-
rupt came before the Court in consequence of several actions
in ejectment having been brought by a person named Car-
ter, in respect of some property held by him.
The assignees chosen intimated that they would file a
bill in Chancery against Carter to prevent his proceeding
in the actions, and defend them if continued.
