THE LOSS OF THE ROYAL CHARTER,

The following letter has been addressed to the
President of the Board of Trade by Sir R. W. Bul-
keley, Bart., M.P., urging more prompt measures
for recovering the bodies of those who perished in
the wreck of the Royal Charter :—" Baron-hill,
Beaumaris, Nov. 13.—Sir,—You ant aware that a
large steamer of 2,500 tons, called the Royal Char-
tar, was wrecked about three weeks ago on the coast
of Anglesey, and about 400 persons perished. The
remains of 80 persons (thereabouts) have been found
in the neighbourhood of the wreck and buried,
the greater part of whom have been identified by
their friends and relatives. I have been waited
upon by the relatives of some pf the sufferers, to
bring under your notice and to receive if passible
your assistance in compelling the owners and others
interested in the ship to take some more active
measures than have marked their operations up to
the present moment in endeavouring to free the
bodies which aro still supposed (by those capable of
giving an opinion) to be entangled in the debris of
the wreck. I need not describe the painful scenes
that daily take place in the neighbourhood of the
wreck between the relatives of individuals and
families known to have perished, and whose remains
not having yet been discovered, are supposed to be
kept under water by the position of the wreck. To
the applications of these sorrowing relatives to the
agents in charge of the ship, requesting them to use
their appliances to weigh up portions of the wreck,
with the view of releasing a numbor of bodies, not
the slightest attention is paid; on the contrary, no-
thing but the most revolting indifference to their
feelings is shown. The recovery of the gold appears
to be tho only object of the representatives of the
owners and underwriters. Whether the Board of
Trade or the Admiralty have the power of insisting
upon the removal of the wreck, you, sir, are the
best judge ; but I have thought it my duty, as a
magistrate, to bring the state of things at Moelfra,
under your notice, and for further information I
beg to refer you to Mr. Pitcher, the eminent ship-
bfourildtieire, actoNunotrythffeet, whose brother, brother's wife,
and two children, are among the sufferers.—I am,
sir, &c., R. WILLIAM BULKELEY, M.P., and J.P.
of Anglesey. To the Right Hon.
Thos. Milner Gibson, Board of Trade, London."

difference in the trajectory of the Whitworth and
Enfield rifles.
Col. WILFORD was sorryhe could not answer the
question. He had heard that the trajectory in the
Swiss Federal rifle was very low. Perhaps-it would
be more correct to say. that the improvements made
of late years in the rifle was not so much in the
barrel as in the ball. He came there to assure them
that accurate shooting could be acquired after a
little drill, in a pleasureable manner, if they would
only go to work in the same painstaking way as
the volunteers who had recently been at Hythe.
(Applause.) Had England as a nation nothing to
defend ? Had we not an excellent Sovereign, a
glorious Constitution, an open Bible, free thoughts,
and a free press ? (Applause.) Was it not a coun-
try in which no passports were required, and in
which every man's cottage was his castle? With
such liberties and wealth to defend, the Volunteer
Rifle Corps must become a national institution. It
was not a thing of to-day or to-morrow, and he
would have nothing to do with the movement if he
did not think that our grandchildren would main-
tain it. Our soil had been unpolluted by the foot
of an invader for 800 years, and in the words of
Lord Brougham he would make it an impossibility
for an enemy to invade us. (Applause.) If they
made the attempt and succeeded in landing, the
riflemen in our hedges would, under the blessing of
God, prove the salvation of our land. (Applause.)
Let the men of England rally round the Queen,
that she might remain the monarch of a free and
united people, a " terror to evildoers, and the praise
of them that do well." Most heartily did he say
to the yolunteers of England, the members of the
true Peace League, " I wish you good luck in the
name of the Lord." (The gallant colonel resumed
his seat amid a loud and long-continued burst of
applause.)
Lord ELCIIO, having borne testimony to the great
attention which Major-General Hay and every offi-
cer of the Staff at Hythe had shown to the Volun.
Leers, passed a high encomium upon Col. Wilford
for the pleasing and agreeable manner in which he
had discharged the duty of instructing the volun-
teers in the theory of rifle shooting. He wished to
express the thanks which he was sure every one
present must desire to tender to Col. Wilford for
his most interesting and instructive lecture. (Ap-
' plause.) On some future occasion he trusted that
the gallant colonel would consent to address a
larger audience in a more capacious building on the
same subject.
Col. WILFORD, 12 acknowledging the compli-
ment, said that nothing could be better than the
.conduct of thevolunteers who he d just gone through
their course of instruction at Hythe The manly
conduct of Lord Elcho had procured for him the
esteem of every one there. (Applause.)
The meeting then broke up.

P UGILISM.

CHARLES LYNCH (THE AMERICAN) AND SIMON
FINIGHTY FOR £5O A-SlDE.—These men have be-
fore met within the ropes, on which occasion the
battle was awarded to Finighty in consequence of
its being alleged that the American had hit a foul
blow. The American was anxious to retrieve his
credit, and his friends resolved that he should have
an opportunity of again meeting his opponent.
The match produced an extraordinary amount of
interest. Many of the rounds were remarkable for
the rapidity of the fighting. The belligerents were
confined to Bst., and on Monday they went to scale
at George Brown's, when both were ascertained to
be within the prescribed limits, the American, who
is a little Hercules at the weight, having that ad-
vantage ; Simon, on the contrary, appearing deli-
cate in constitution. After an agreeable voyage
the ring was pitched on a well-known spot. Finighty
had for his seconds John M‘Donald and George
Brown ; while Harry Brunton and Jerry Noon did
the requisite for Lynch, who was the non-favourite
at 5 to 4. Having taken their positions at the
scratch the men commenced the contest. Lynch
forced the fighting in his usual determined manner,
getting home on the ribs with telling force, while
he received on the head, on which, however, Finighty
did not appear to make any impression. Forty-two
bustling rounds were fought, and from the looks of
the men there did not appear any extensive damage
done ; but when all imagined the following round
was about to begin,
Finighty, to the surprise
of all around the ring, walked up to his man,
and acknowledged that he had had enough.
Many at first were of opinion that a certain gentle-
man, named " Barney, had given the whisper, but
there appears little doubt that Finighty was beaten
on his merits, as this was the conviction of the ma-
jority of those who were on the ground. The battle
lasted one hour and ten minutes.
JOHN PERRY AND PADDY TURNER, FOR £lO A-
SlDE.—These men, who fought at catch-weight,
also contended in the same ring. Perry, who is a
fine fellow, was waited upon by NV. Gillam and J.
Hicks, while Denny Sullivan and Dan Collins did
the polite for Turner. They had a merry bustling
mill of 40 minutes' duration, during which 28 rounds
were fought, when Turner was compelled to cry,
" Hold, enough !" and thus, with the most perfect
order and regularity, terminated the doings of the
day.

RUSSIA.

A grand naval review was held at Cronstadt on
the 23d July by the Emperor Alexander. The fleet,
which was drawn up in two lines, consisted of 21
men-of-war and frigates, chiefly steamers, and a
number of gunboats. The screw frigate Grand
Admiral, recently constructed in America for the
Emperor, excited particular attention. Only four
years since the Russian navy possessed only one
screw frigate, the Palkane, which remained sta-
tionary at Cronstadt. The following are the names
of the vessels passed recently in review :
Ships of the Line—Cesarevitch, Prokhor, Vola,
Constantin, Sinope, Viborg, Orel.
Frigates, Corvettes, &c.—Grosiachtchii, paddle
frigate ; Khrabril, do. ; Calevala, corvette ; Posad-
ao. ; Kamtetiv,tha, paddle frigate; Ilia Mou-
rometz, screw do. ; Generale-Admirale (Grand
Amiral), screw do. ; Svetlana, screw do. ; Olaf,
paddle do. ; Rasboinik, clipper ; Naezdnik, clipper;
Standarte, Imperial yacht.

TURKEY.

A letter from Erzeroum, dated July 17, says :
" The town of Erzeroum is entirely destroyed. The
shocks have continued day after day till only a few
houses are left standing. The Porte has sent a
pacha to distribute relief among the survivors, and
he brings with him 10,000 purses (i 40,000). He
is also to control the conduct of the governor, but
everybody knows what will come of that—nothing
whatever. Erzeroum will never recover from this
dreadful catastrophe. In two months the weather
will get chilly, and the inhabitants will all leave.
The result will be a loss of 30,000 persons to Tur-
key for the benefit of Russia, who receives them
with open arms. Russian propagandism makes
great progress here, and all along the sheres of the
Black Sea, by means of a continual traffic in pass-
ports. Any one may be turned into a Russian by
the following process :—A raya (Greek or Arme-
nian) goes to the Russian consul at Trebizond
(where this Rnssianising process is carried oat on
a large scale), gets his passport vised, then takes
the Russian steamer to Redout Kalee, and goes on
to Kutais, where he has his name inscribed in a
register kept for the purpose, takes the oath of
fidelity to the Emperor Alexander, and receives a
certificate valid for the whole interior of the empire.
Provided with this document, the raya, returns to
Trebizond, calls himself a Russian subject, and is
acknowledged as such by the consul, notwithstand-
ing the ukase which requires a residence of three
years on the Muscovite territory to become a Rus-
sian. The journey takes about a fortnight, and may
cost 10 roubles (40f.) Turkey is well aware of the
evil, but takes no steps to provide a remedy."

THAMES.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.-Willitim Orgill, a ferocious
looking fellow, about 40 years of age, who has been twice
convicted of savage assaults, was brought before Mr.
Selfe charged with assaulting and wounding Daniel Cluny,
an Irish labourer.

Tt appeared from the statement of Cluny, who is a hard-
working and steady man, that he was passing the house of
the prisoner in Elizabeth-street, Poplar, and said to him,
jestingly, " How about the summons," a summons which a
woman had taken against the prisoner for striking her. The
prisoner called to a loose woman, with whom he cohabits,
for a poker, and struck Cluny with it on the head and
felled him to the ground. The man received a very severe
wound, from which he bled profusely.
Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, in cross-examination of the com-
plainant, elicited from him that he gave more provocation
than was admitted in his evidence in chief.

Mr. Selfe said the prisoner was a savage and ill-condi;.
tionefl fellow, and fined him £3, in default of payment,
three weeks' imprisonment.
It was here stated that there was another charge of
assault against the prisoner.
Mr. Selfe—Then I will suspend my jugdment.
Elizabeth May, said she was an unfortunate woman, and
lived at 34, Elizabeth-place, the prisoner kept a brothel at
No. 3in the same street. Last Saturday she heard a great
row in the house of the prisoner, and went there to see what
was the matter. The prisoner was throwing clean• water
out of a butt upon his landlady and used most dreadful
language. She remonstrated with the prisoner, who turned
round upon her and gave utterance to the most infamous
threats, and then struck her a violent blow on the eye with
his fist and knocked her down.
Several witnesses corroborated the evidence of the com-
plainant, whose eye was blackened.
Mr. Selfe said the prisoner was a most infamous and
savage fellow. This was not tbe first time the prisoner had
been charged with assaulting Women. He sentenced him
to three months' imprisonment and hard labour for the
assault on Elizabeth May, and remitted the punishment in
the first case.

THE NAVY.

The Nile 91 guns left the Mersey yesterday. During
her stay at that station she has been the object of
considerable attraction to the inhabitants of the
port, great numbers of whom assembled on the piers
to see her departure. The Duke of Wellington, 131
guns, is expected in her place.
Another addition will shortly be made to the
line-of-battle steamers of the Royal Navy by the
launch of the fine screw steamship Irresistible, 80
guns, from Chatham dockyard. She is now nearly
out of the hands of the caulkers, and will be fit for
launching in a very short period. Her machinery
is to be of 400 horse power.
Admiralty orders have been received at Chatham
dockyard for the Tartar, 46, which has been for
many years used as a receiving hulk to vessels fit-
ting for sea at that port, to be taken into No. 1
dock, now occupied by the Wasp, screw steamer, in
order that she may be broken ttp, her great age
rendering her useless.
The steam tender Avon, Mr. J. H. Lawrence
master, is appointed to leave Plymouth to-day for
Cherbourg, with the invalid French seamen brought
from China by the Calcutta, 84.
A court-martial assembled yesterday morning on
board the Impregnable, 104, Capt. Stewart, in
Hamoaze, Plymouth, for the trial of Mr. Frederick
Kirkman, master of her Majesty's steam sloop Gla-
diator, for drunkenness.
The steam store ship Dee, Master J. C. Pullen
commanding, from Woolwich, with stores, ma-
chinery, and boilers, arrived at Plymouth on Mon-
day, and went into Keyham basin to discharge.
The crew of the sailing ship Calcutta, 84, Capt.
Hall, in Plymouth Sound, were inspected on Mon-
day by Port-Admiral Sir Barrington Reynolds,
who was conveyed to her in the gunboat Redwing.
Having discharged her powder the Calcutta was in
the afternoon towed up Hamoaze. When off Mount
Wise the crew mounted the yards and in a few
seconds detached the sails. Her topgallant masts
and yards were sent down with equal celerity. The
Calcutta was then placed alongside the Devonport
Dockyard to be dismantled. She will be put out
of commission in about a week.

The sailing line-of-battle ship Cumberland, 70,
Capt. H. D. Rogers, was towed out of Plymouth
Souud on Monday by the Zephyr, and sailed for
Sheerness, with a strong westerly wind. She took
supernumeraries for the above port.
The following appointments were made yester-
day at the Admiralty :—B. B. Stuart, master, to
the Gladiator ; E E. B. Williams, master, to the
Virago ; H. L. Cleveland, master, additional, to the
Asia; and John N. Harvey, assistant-paymaster, to
the Aboukir.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.

" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs utr, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, If he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.

" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
pursei. ,The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
varionAlorms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.

" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Picklbrd ;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one Interested in the matter."—

with mutiny, and them all detained in prison until he was
again ready for sea. There were three points to which he
trusted the attention of the authorities would be directed.
First, the facilitating of the working di the extradition treaty,
now so expensive; second, to provide a reciprocal jurisdiction
for cases not included in the treaty; and third, the possi-
bility of establishing a summary jurisdiction in cases of dis-
pute under special contracts. He mentioned these matters
to show that he had not overlooked the subject, and he ear-
nestly hoped that the address would be productive of some
satisfactory arrangement.
Mr. MILNES, in reply, expressed his gratitude for the
manner in which Government had received his motion. With
respect to the number of trials in America he would remind
the right hon. member opposite that there was a great dif-
ference in the crews of inward and outward bound ships.
There was no difficulty in getting sailors to go from Europe
to America, but in manning ships to return to Europe there
was fierce competition, an extensive crimping system was
carried on, and much cruelty was practised. He hoped his
friends in the Government would not overlook the case of
the murderer, who was now at large because the authorities
of this country had no power to secure him. The powers
of the extradition treaty, which were now exclusively con-
fided to the metropolitan magistrates, should be extended
to the stipendiaries at Liverpool and the other seaports.
RIGHTS OF THE CROWN IN FORESHORES, &c.
Mr. AUGUSTUS SMITH moved for a select com-
mittee to inquire into the rights as claimed by the Crown
and other bodies connected with the foreshores, tidal rivers,
estuaries, and the bed of the sea round the coasts of the
United Kingdom.
An HON. MEMBER here moved that the house be counted,
and there being only 38 members present, the house stood
adjourned at a quarter past eight.

THE BALLOT SOCIETY.

The weekly meeting of the executive committee
was held at the offices, in Guildhall-chambers,
Basinshall-street, on Tuesday ; Mr. C. Marsden,
Esq., in the chair. Major-General Thompson, Mr'
Whitehurst, Mr. S. Harrison, Mr. Wickham, Mr.
Elt, Mr. Le Maitre, Mr. Francis Clowes, M. \lOl
and Mr. W. C. Dawes were, present. Subscriptions
of £5 from Mr. Felix Slade, £5 from Mr. Man, and
£2 2s. from Mr. G. H. Whalley, M.P., Peter-
borough, were announced. John Jones, Esq., of
Tachddeiling Bala, Merionethshire, was elected a
member of the council. Major-General Thompson
Then rose, and in a few well-chosen words expressed
his tribute to the memory of Mr. Thomas Prout,
late treasurer of the society, and proposed the fol-
lowing resolution :—" That this committee, on the
occasion of its first meeting after the lamented
decease of their colleague, Mr. Thomas Prout,
desire to record on their minutes, and to express to
his family, their sense of the irreparable loss which
this society and the cause of reform in general sus-
tain by the decease of Mr. Prout. The committee
gratefully acknowledge his unwearied devotion,
his self-denying exertions, and his generous
liberality on all occasions to this society, and they,
feel bound to acknowledge that in the earliest
and most critical periods of tha society's exis-
tence, its continuance depended ork the sacrifices
cheerfully made by their departed friend. The
committee further desire to record their sense of the
disinterestedness evinced by Mr. Prout through'
out his long political career ; and they feel that
they cannot better close this imperfect tribute to
the memory and services of their colleagues than
by expressing the feeling that the best mOnuntellit
they can raise to his memory is 'to continue and
increase every possible exertion until the bale"
becomes the law of the land, when amongst then
who contributed to the success of the, cause of
electoral purity and freedom the name of Thonol
Prout will deservedly be placed the highest rank.
Mr. Samuel Harrison seconded the resolution;
which was supported b✓y Mr. Whitehurst, andunanimously adopted. Directions were given
respecting the promotion of the ballot at the com-
ing elections, and it was resolved to ask Mr. Edwin
James, M.P., to call the attention of the Govern-
ment and of the House of Commons to the corrupved
tion prevalent amongst the constituencies, as pro
by the evidence taken before the election coin'
mittees, and to urge the Government to consicitr
the necessity of adopting the ballot.
