CERTIORARI BILL.

Lord BROUGHAM withdrew the Bill upon this subject,
with the consent of his Noble Friend the Chief Justice, and
substituted one of a more comprehensive nature in its stead,
which was read a first time.
COMMISSION OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION.
In answer to a question from Lord FARNHAM,
Viscount DUNCANNON said he expected that the Report
of the Commissioners on the above subject would very shortly
be produced.

*.it,t,

himself, and he thought that, had that Hon. Gentleman 1° %I'-
Nvhem he alluded acted in the same spirit, he thought
would have acted in a more fair and manly flay. He woulti;
however, take the opportunity of denying, in the strong.V '
11.
manner, that there had been a defalcation in the accounts of tnit'''
Post office during the last 10 years to the.amount of 1,900,000
had the Hon. Gentleman only looked to the return Ne per
tossed to read from, he would have framtl that in the very'
line to that from which he quoted, that there was '-'
one shilling unaccounted :for, as the returns which he novi
moved for would show. He moved for a return of tile':
receipts and expenditure of the establishment during the la g
10 years. He hoped his Noble Friend would have no ob;ec-.-
tion to the making of such a return, as it would prove rno3lt
clearly that the office kept its accounts correctly and haat
not lost one single shilling be post-masters or otherwise, duriniff
the wh&e of the period to wilich he hid referred.
The Earl of LICHFIELD had no objection tope produc.
tion of the returns—so far from that, he was much obliged tai
his Noble Friend for the opportunity pf making sense state-
ments in opposition to those tnitee by an Hon. Gen.tleman is
another place.—( Hear.) He (Act not altogether bi,ime the
gentleman alluded to ; for if lie believCd there was a tentli.
of the abuses in the establishment that lie had brought f°l-',
ward, then it was his duty to bring it under the nottez 01
Parliament ; but he ought to have made himself better
acquainted with the facts of the case before lie made sttelf.'.
grave charges against a public establishment. He regretted
exceedingly that the Hon. Gentleman had made such gra +.O
charger> against a Gentleman who had been for 50 years
the service of the public, and who had acquitted himself in hit
office of Secretary to the Post Office with so ,muqt.:
honour to himself and benefit to the public, which was Cy'
dent from the vastly increased revenue which had been broug}o
in under his management.

FATAL ACCIDENTS ON THE RIVER.,

On Friday night, a few minutes past nine, a long wherrY.('
containing five Gentlemen, was run down off Globe stairk
Rotherhithe, by the Red Rover, Herne Bay steamer, Capt.••
Large, and two of them drowned. The wherry ald
the
steamer were proceeding up the river in the same dim:tit:oli,,
against the tide, and the per Sons in the boat consiste(ts
Messrs. Robert Cumberland, Gilbert Wilson, John Snail
and Edward Jones, Manchester warehousemen, of 136;•
Cheapside, and Mr. William Cumberland, 'also connectel-
with the linen trade, of 17, Watling-street, four of whorl'
were rowing and the other steering. They were coming
round the point near the Pageants almost at the same time
as the Red Rover, when the offset of the tide sheered the
.1
boat into the middle of the stream in the track of thf
steamer, which was coming up at a very rapid rate eloOe'
astern of them. The people in the steamer hailed them to'
get out of the way, but whether through incompeten*
alarm, or otherwise, they were unable to do so, and the
steamer bore down upon them, struck the boat a miciabiPs'''
and she instantly went down. Two of the party went
one side of the steamer and two on the other, while the if.t„
went under the vessel. Boats were put off, and Mr. 110`,-:;son,
son, Mr. Snape, and Mr. Robert Cumberland, were vitP;
considerable difficulty saved, but the other two we°.
drowned. The body of Mr. William Cumberland, aged lit
was picked up on Saturday morning, but that of Mr.
Jones, aged 27, has not been found. Captain Large Pow
every attention to those who were saved, and, in expressirg
his deep regret at the accident, said that he hailed the GO'
tlemen, and stopped the engines as soon as possible. It 1,5
the general opinion that the accident was in a great ulcr
sure caused by the unskilfulness of the Gentlemen, and the
circumstance of the offset of the tide sheering their bat
out from the shore.
Yesterday (Sunday) afternoon, about half-past thrae
o'clock, three young men and a boy, who had just before
hired a skiff of Messrs. Needham and Judge, at Paull
Wharf, were proceeding up the river near BlackFriol6
Bridge, -when, owing to the unskilfulness of xwo of the p 0
who were rowing, and the alarm into which they wee
thrown by the heavy swell caused by the Fairy stearri
which was going down the river at the time, they WO! -
driven against the piles near the bridge, and the boat
stantly capsized, immersing the whole party in the streao)
A gentleman's servant and the lad, whose age is ten yearP
were carried away. by the strength of the tide, and sunk' •
Another clung to one of the piles and remained in that .
sition, until one of the Numerous boats which put off toj'i°
assistance took him in. The fourth saved himself by c, a.
ing to the keel of the boat after it had capsized. Droo_,
were instantly procured, and watermen continued draggq
for the bodies during the afternoon, but they were not tout'''. .
Another accident occurred by a boat hired of the saltret
persons, containing three gentlemen, who were also witliut
a waterman, by running athwart a tier of barges- on the
upper side of the bridge ; but the party were saved by tl
watermen. The state of the river near the bridge is nod!
highly dangerous, and'great caution should be used, park
cularly by amateurs. •
