SUMMER ASSIZES.


ROME ClRCUlT—Chelmsford, July 19.
The business on the Civil Side concluded about four
o'clock on Thursday afternoon, and Mr. Baron Gurney
then proceeded to assist in trying the prisoners.
The following cases were disposed of late on Thursday.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKE.)
Abraham Thurgood, 57, labourer, was indicted for the
manslaughter of his wife, Mary Anne Thurgood, by
kicking her in a most brutal manner. _

It appeared from the evidence; that the prisoner and
the deceased, and a son of the latter by a former
husband, occupied a cottage at Wickham Bishops,
in this county. On the 16th of March the son
went to bed about nine o'clock, leaving the pri-
soner and the deceased in the lower room, and
in a short time he heard a noise, as if per-
sons were scuffling below. Soon afterwards he
heard a shriek, and heard his mother, who appeared to
be out of doors, say to the prisoner, " For God's sake,
Thurgood, let mein, I shall die." He got up, and the
door was opened ;* and, when the deceased was let in,
she complained of severe suffering • and upon a surgeon
being sent for, it was found that she had received a'most
dreadful injury upon the lower part of her person. It
was suggested on behalf of the prisoner that the de-
ceased had accidentally fallen upon the scraper at the
door, and so received the injury, but the surgeon ex-
pressed his opinion that it would be much more likely to
be inflicted by a kick from a man's heavy boot. There
was, however, no distinct proof that the prisoner had in-
flicted the injury.
Mr. Baron PAaKE -having summed up, the jury re-
turned a verdict of Not Guilty.
John Hardy, 11, was indicted for feloniously setting
fire to a stack of straw, the property of Frederick Charles
Fitch, at Steeple Bnmpstead.
Mr. Itodwell prosecuted, and Mr. Marsh appeared for
the prisoner.
This case was'one of a somewhat similar character to

hat disposed of on Wednesday, with this difference, that
he prisoner, when he was taken into custody, said that
zis master had beaten him, and that he committed the act
revenge himself.
The jury found him Guilty. Judgment was respited.

NORFOLK ClRCUlT.—Cambridge, July 18.

The Learned Judges arrived in Cambridge this evening,
and, attended by the High Sheriff, proceeded to Trinity
College Lodge, where, time out of mind, the Judges have
had their abode (and where the Master himself is but their
guest) during the time they hold their courts in Cambridge
by virtue of the Queen's commission. The lodge has under-
gone very extensive alterations and improvements both
within and without during the last two years, at the sole ex-
pense, it is said, of Mr. Hope, who is a member of the Col-
lege ; and it is now a residence worthy to receive her Majesty,
or her representatives, the Judges.
The cause list is meagre, there being six causes only en-
tered for trial ; one of them is an action for alleged crim. con.,
brought by Sambo Sutton, the well-known black pugilist,
against a builder and brickmaker living in the town.
The calendar of prisoners presents rather a formidable ap-
pearance, there being 35 prisoners for trial, of whom eight
are charged with arson, six with burglary, and five with
highway robbery. There is also a case for trial in which a
surgeon is accused of manslaughter; it is not mentioned in
the calendar.

It is the custom in this county to enumerate in the calen-
dar the property found on the prisoners on their apprehen-
sion, "or seized as belonging or believed to belong to them."
In the present calendar the entire money found on or be-
lieved to belong to the 35 prisoners amounts to the sum of
17s. 10d., in which are included two sums of 7s. 10d. and
3s. 9d, which appear to be portions of the property the par-
ties are accused of having stolen, which being deducted,
leaves the hum of 20. for each of the prisoners.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, July 18.
(Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.)
THE BRADFORD MURDER.—John O'Bryan,Thomas Ragan,
Daniel Power, Wm. Quinn, and Daniel Donovan, were in-
dicted, with a person named 11.1' Cann, who was not in cus-
tody. for the wilfal murder of Benjamin Gott, at Bradford.
Mr. Buss stated to the jury that on Whit-Monday there
had been an Orange Lodge procession in Bradford, which was
accompanied by a band, who were attacked by a mob, among
whom were the prisoners, when Benjamin Gott, one of its
members, was killed.
Thomas Thornton—ls one of the Idle and Calrerly band.
Benjamin Gott was one. On Whit-Monday he went to play
for an Orange Lodge at Bradford. We met at Bradford=
moor, and played by ourelves till we got to Steetin-lane,
one mile and a half from Bradford. The lodge met us there.
We then went through Bradford to Horton and Thornton ;
broke up at Thornton and returned to Bradford. We did`
not play at Thornton till we came to Bradford ; we then
%
played down Westgate, and near the Royal Oak a man
made a bit of confusion, and stopped the drum. Plenty
more were near. The tune was " The Huddersfield
quick step." We had played the " Boyne Water"
in Bradford at noon, when we first went through.
Nobody stopped but me and the drum. I played the keyed
bugle. I and the drummer. afterwards went forward. We
played another tune, called the " Trumpet quick step." We
went on to the Church-bridge, and there we gave up playing.
We then went by Church-bank, up Backer-end to Undercliff,
just out of Bradford. This was our straight road home. A
party followed us up from behind. He who had attacked
the drummer was first ; he had a yellow walking-stick. He
struck Charles Naylor, the Bradford old band drummer. He
was again with us without his drum. He struck Naylor
very hard three or four times. I made my escape ; and
looking behind, I saw Jonathan Thorps, the Undercliff con-
stable. He said, " Let us find them out." Before I got
across the road I was knocked down first with fists, and then
with sticks. I was felled seven times within a yard or two
of Benjamin Gott. There were a good many at him on the
ground. I saw them strike him several times with shillelahs.

heard him cry out the first blow I saw him get. lie was
on the ground. I saw a man with a stone in his hand ; he
plashed it down. I could not see if it hit him, so many were
round. I made my escape. I was leaning over a garden
wall, about fifty yards oft; bleeding, and some came past me
with Gott. I saw him afterwards dead.

Cross-examined by Mr. HEATON—There was another band
with us. Several lodges and two bands went together. One
band led the procession, the other went behind. We played
the " Boyne Water" only once. Old tunes are often pub-
lished with new names. Our band was-thirteen, the other
seventeen in number. The procession might be 200. It
was a holiday in Bradford. I saw no excitement. I have
played many a time through Bradford. I saw no difference
then to other days. The streets were crowded.
Cross-examined by Mr. Wiuuxs—Only one of the band
was an Orangeman. The music played was given by the
Orange Lodge to the band to play. There were three or four
Orange flags. I heard no groaning and hooting at the people
by the procession. After the stone was thrown at the

A WONDERFUL CURE DT HOLLOWAY'S PILLS
AND OINTMENT.—Edward White, residing at No. 45,
Clement's-lane, Strand, was an in-door patient at King's
College Hospital, for an abscess in the thigh, and a
wound, nine inches long, on the same limb. He could
neither bend his knee nor put his foot to the ground.
He remained at the hospital five months in bed, when he
was informed " that nothing more could be done for him."
He was then carried to his home, and commenced using
the above invaluable medicines. He can now walk about
all the day long ; but, to complete the cure, he still uses
the remedies. - Sold at Profesior Holloway's establish-

Mr. Heaton addressed the jury for O'Bryan and Ragan ;
Mr. Wilkins for the other prisoners.
Mr. HEAToN called witnesses to prove an alibi.
Mr. Buss replied, and the Court adjourned the further
hearing of the case.

THE LATE JOHN TRAVERS, ESQ.
The funeral of this lamented gentleman took place,
yesterday, at Bunhill-fields burial ground. It was strictly
private, and confined to thi family and relations of the
deceased. His numerous friends and political admirers
were anxious to testifty their respect fur his many
virtues by giving him a public funeral, but his known
unostentatious character, and the retiring modesty of
his widow, led the family to decline the proffered honour.
The late Mr. Travers was 57 years of age. He
was born in the City, and was the son of Joseph
Travers, one of the partners in the house of Smith,
Kemble, and Travers, which house has now been
established upwards of 120 years.
Mr. Travers was educated at Hyham Lodge, Wal-
thamstow, and was taken into partnership by his father,
about the year 1813. Some time afterwards the part-
nership of Smith, Kemble, and Travers was dissolved,
Messrs. Smith and Kemble removing to Philpot-lane,
and Mr. Travers. and his son, the late John Travers,
continuing the business in St. Swithin's-lane.
Mr. Travers, in 1821, married the daughter of the
late Rev. Dr. Lindsay, formerly minister of Monkwell-
street Chapel. By this lady, who survives, he had a nu-
merous family.
By the death of the elder Mr. Travers, which occur-
red in 1821, the late Mr. Travers succeeded to the busi-
ness, and became the head of the firm, which he con-
ducted with singular ability, and with that openness and
high integrity of purpose which gained him not only the
respect, but we may venture to say the personal affection
of his numerous customers, as well as of those rho were
his competitors in trade.
It is unnecessary, to say that under his fostering care
the titiattOrwas greatly enlarged; and at-the.time of his
decease embraced connexion not only throughout Eno.-
land, but in many parts of the world. It was conducted
with so much regularity and order that notwithstanding
its increasing extent ever) thing moved on with perfect

ease.
The first time that Mr. Travers was called into public
life was during the agitation of the Reform Bill,
when he presided at a meeting of the inhabitants
of his own ward, to petition Parliament to
pass that great measure. From that time to the period
of his decease he continued the unflinching advocate of
the rights of the people, of judicious and temperate
reform, of commercial freedom, and of purity of govern-
ment. As the Chairman of the Committees for the
Liberal candidates in the City of London, he, by the
suavity of his manners, conciliated his opponents, and
attracted and secured his friends. Nor did he confine
himself to giving up a large share of his most valuable
time to the public, but with a generous liberality, he
contributed largely to defray the legal expenses of the
various elections, and to the support of those societies
which had for their object the promotion of purity of
election and the security of the rights of those entitled to
vote. In him, therefore, the popular cause has lost its
most earnest, liberal, and constant leader.
Neither was he less eminent in private virtues. In the
bosom of his family, and amidst the circle of attached
friends, his kindness and sportiveness of manner, his un-
affected attention to remove the asperities of life, and
his anxious desire to impart happiness to all, were con-
santly displayed.
The various charities of this great metropolis found
in him a liberal benefactor, and the many young men
whom he put into business or assisted in their early
struggles to gain a living, will testify that, privately as
well as publicly, he never forgot to do good, and to com-
municate to others a portion of that wealth he had
obtained by his untiring industry.
Though his death was as sudden as it was lamented,
yet a post mortem examination of his remains demon-
strated that the seeds of death had been long planted.
His brain was nearly double the weight and size of ordi-
nary men, but it was evident that it had been long dis-
eased, and that only a portion of it had for some months
performed its vital functions.
We understand that, though the family declined the
offer of a public funeral, yet the numerous personal
friends and political admirers of the deceased intend to
meet early to decide upon some mode of perpetuating
their sense of departed worth, in order that the living
may be induced to imitate so noble an example.

KING'S COUNTY ASSlZES.—Tullamore, Julyl7.
MURDER or LORD NORBERT. The Commission was
opened here to-day by Mr. Justice Crampton. The calender
is by no means heavy, but there are two cases of a very im-
portaht character to be tried—the first is that for the murder
of Lord Norbury, which our readers will recollect took place
upwards of five years ago. The Solicitor-General is here on
the part of the Crown, and every preparation has been made
for proceeding wth the trial, which will take place to-mor-
row. There are tw• persons accused, one named Gill, and the
other Dolan, the latter as the principal, and the former as ac-
cessory before the fact ; both were in the employment of his
Lordship at the time the murder was perpetrated. Mr. Sander- -
son, the steward, who was with Lord Norbury when the fatal
shot was fired, has arrived here from Scotland, and is to be
examined as a witness. Several members of the Norbury
family have arrived here from England for the purpose of
being also examined as witnesses if necessary. The bills
against the accused were found at the last assizes, and they
should be either tried or discharged on the present occasion.
Those engaged for the Crown say that they are certain of
a conviction.
The other principal case to be tried is that of a police-
serjeant named Ogle, who is charged with having caused
riband papers to be put into the pocket of a person named
M'Laughlan, at a wake in Shinrone, and then endeavouring
to prosecute him to conviction, at the last assizes for this
county. There are several other persons to be tried with him
as accomplices, and the case, as well as that for the murder
of Lord Norbury, has excited great interest not only here
but throughout the country generally.

ROBBERY AT WINDSOR CASTLE.—COMMITTAL OF
TIIE ACCUSED.—WINDSOR, FRIDAY EVENING.—This after-
noon, at half-past two o'clock, a special bench of magis-
trates, consisting of Robert Blunt, Esq. (Mayor), and Robert
T ebbott and William Leegh, Esqrs., assembled at the Town-
hall, for the purpose of investigating a charge of robbery
preferred by the Crown against a decent looking married
woman, named Eliza Blandy, who had been occasionally
engaged as charwoman in the stores department in the
Winchester Tower, at the Castle. The prisoner, whose hus-
band is a bricklayer, was charged with having stolen from
the Castle a large scroll of solid silver, weighing twenty-one
ounces, being part of the splendid silver table which was
presented to William 111. by the Corporation of the City of
London. Mr. C. S. Voules, solicitor, of Windsor, conducted
the case on the part of the Crown ; and Mr. J. J. Williams,
barrister-at-law, appeared for the prisoner. The Hon. C.
Murray, the Master of the llousehold, was present to watch
the proceedings. Mr. Voules stated that the prisoner was
charged with having feloniously stolen and taken away from
Wmilsor Castle a large piece of solid silver, belonging to a
table given by the City of London to William the Third, and
which had been•removed from the Queen's closet (one of the
state apartMents), to the stores in the Winchester Tower,
upon the visit of the King .of Prussia to her Majesty in Jan.,
1842. Mr. Voules having further observed that as the pro-
perty was stolen from within 'the precincts of Windsor
Castle, and that as a question might thereupon arise as to the
jurisdiction of the borough magistrates, he would refer the
bench to the 7th of Geo. 111., cap. 64, and the 7th and.Bth of
' Geo. IV., cap. 29, from which it was clear the ease was
within the jurisdiction of the bench. Mr. Voules then called,
several witnesses. The prisoner was fully committed to take
her trial for the felony. The proceedings occupied upwards
of far liar&

SINGULAR DEATH FROM LOCK-JAW.—A fine
young man, named Benjamin Hart, about 26 years of age,
residing at Homerton, met with an accident which suddenly
resulted in a fatal attack of lock-jaw. The poor fellow, it
appears,- whilst at his work yesterday week, accidentally
trod on a nail, which entered the heel of his foot. He,
however, soon removed it, and thought no more of the in•.
jury, and continued at his employment until the following
Monday, when he was seized with a violent pain in the leg
on which he had received the hurt, and which affected the
whole of his frame. With all dispatch he was conveyed to
his dwelling, when the symptoms became more alarming.
Tetanus, or lock-law, set in on the following day, and he
lingered in the greatest suffering until Wednesday, when he
expired.

THE RECENT BILL DISCOUNT-

ING TRANSACTIONS.

Yesterday bail was tendered for John Alves, the parson
detained on a charge preferred by Lord Charles Fitzroy, of
having defrauded him of two promissory notes of 1,000/. each,
the full particulars of which appeared in this journal on: Wed-
nesday last.
The solicitor who attended for Alves told Mr. Hardwick
that the usual notice had been given to Mr. Watkins, the
solicitor of Lord Charles Fitzroy, and no objection had b4n
made to the person he now tendered.
William Leech, lodginghouse-keeper, 26, Michael's-place,
Brompton, and Mr. Robert Bignall, bootmaker, 2, Panton-
street, came forward and respectively swore themselves
worth 2501. after all their debts were paid. They then en-
tered into the customary recognizances.
Alves, who had also entered into his own surety of 5001.,
when asked what he was and where he lived, said he was a
general agent, and lived at 24, Piccadilly.
In the report of the first proceedings against the prisoner
an omission occurred. When Mr. Clarkson stated that Alves
had never been'seen again at 24, Piccadilly, where he rented
a room, after he had obtained the notes from Lord Charles
Fitzroy, the prisoner Alves denied that this was correct, and
asserted that he fiad never left the place, but, up to the
time of his apprehension, continued to receive letters and to
occupy the rooms at 24, Piccadilly.
The solicitor for the accused told Mr. Hardwick that be
had a complete answer to the criminal portion of the charge.
Lord Charles Fitzroy (who has been sued for the amount of
one of the bills) had filed a bill of discovery and relief against
the holder of the security. Now, the third section of the Act
expressly declared, that while such a suit was pending no
criminal proceedings could take place. This was a point
which would be pressed on Monday next when the accused
would appear for re-examination.
It may be of use to draw attention to the extremely am-
biguous and incomplete state of the law with respect to bill
discounting and transactions of a similar nature. It is only
where directions are given in writing that a person entrusted
with bills to get discounted, or securities to raise ,money
upon, can be prosetuted, if he plunders his employer of the
proceeds of the bill or security. The law is silent with re-
spect to verbal directions ; and as this enormous oversight in
the law.is well known to the gang of bill-swindlers, they
take care to shape their transactions with those who may be
foolish- enough to employ them in such a way as to take
themselves out of the operation of the law. In the
case of Alves a nice legal question arises. Lord Charles
Fitzroy gave no written directions himself respecting
his promissory notes, but he received an acknowledg-
ment in writing from Alves of the receipt of the notes,
and a written declaration that the notes were to be dis-
counted, and the money, less the discount, handed over on
the following Friday. Hence arises this point. Is the writ•
ten acknowledgment from Alves such " directions in writ-
ing" as brings the ease within the meaning of the Act ? The
only way to convert this writing into written directions is to
assume that Alves was the agent of Lord Charles Fitzroy,
and that as Lord Charles's agent he wrote the acknowledg-
ment in question with Lord Charles's sanction, and under his
implied direction. If the point should be overruled, and if
it should be decided that the " directions in writing" mean
directions in writing from the principal, then Alves will walk
out of Court free from penal consequences, leaving his Lord-
ship to pay the piper. If it is determined otherwise, then
Alves will have to answer an indictment for an offence which
is visited with transportation.

Loss or AN EMIGRANT SHlP.—Early intelligence
has been received from Sydney, C. 8., concerning the
loss of the Sir George Prevost emigrant ship, on a reef
of rocks to the westward of Garberus, which but for
the moderate state of the weather, might have termi-
nated in a fearful sacrifice of human life, she having
upwards of 160 souls on board. Th 9 unfortunate vessel,
which was a fine large ship, 600 tons burden, and com-
manded by Captain Savage, left the port of Newry,
in Ireland, in the fore part of the present year, with
nearly the above number of emigrants and a mis-
cellaneous cargo. The voyage across the Atlantic was
as favourable as could be expected, when on nearing the
coast off Garberus on the evening of the 31st of May, it
came on a dense fog ; so much so, it is said, that it
was almost impossible to discern anything beyond the
distance of the vessel. Instead of her being brought
up to anchor in such weather, as any other
captain might do with such a living freight on
board, the ship was allowed to continue her course,
and the result was that at about nine o'clock she struck,
and ran completely on the reef of rocks, as before-men-
tioned. The alarm and excitement that instantly pre-
vailed through the ship amongst the poor emigrants, men,
women, and children, was of a most painful and distress-
ing character, such as can be easily conceived under the
circumstances. With much difficulty the captain and chief
officers somewhat composed them, and begged of them to
keep order and act under his directions when their lives
would be presrved. Minute guns of distress were kept
firing for several hours, and two vessels arriving near
the spot, their boats were lowered, by which, together with
those belonging to the Sir George Prevost, the whole
of the emigrants and seamen were safely taken
off the ill-fated ship and landed. Providentially the
wind during the whole of this period kept down ;
had it been otherwise the consequences, in all proba-
bility,.would have been dreadful. At day-break on the
following morning she' was lightened, and attempts
were made to get her off, but she became firmly fixed,
and within 24 'hours was a total wreck. Of the alai-,
grants, 102 were conveyed to Ariehat, where they remain
under the charge of the proper authorities. The distress
that the calamity must entail upon them will be painful
in the extreme, having shipped all the property they
could raise to insure a comfortable maintenance in the
apparent land of promise, and which is all but destroyed.
The loss will be great, and the ship is reported to be
fully insured.
CORONER'S INQUEST.—THE SUICIDE OF Lon)
NORTHLAND'S VALET IN THE WESTMINSTER BRIDEWELL.—
An inquest was held last evening in the Westminster Bride-
well, before Mr. Higgs, on view of the body of John Riley,
aged 46, late valet to Lord Northland, who committed suicide
in the above gaol, by hanging, on the night of Wednesday
last. Since his committal to prison on remand from Thurs-
day week last he had frequently appeared very agitated in his
manners, and told his fellow-prisoners that he was innocent
of the charge his master had made against him of stealing
a 10/. note which was entrusted to him to change. He stated
to them that, after it was changed, he gave the money to his
Lordehip. When visited by his friends they told him that
his master intended to prosecute him with the utmost rigour,
and this had a great effect upon him. On Wednesday even-
ing at a quarter. past six he was locked up in his cell, and
appeared more cheerful. Nothing was heard of him in the
night, but on his cell door being opened in the morning he
was seen suspended by a silk handkerchief to the handle of a
bolt, used for the purpose of fastening the window shutter.
He was immediately released, and it was then discovered that
he had tied a silk handkerchief tightly over his mouth, and
another round his ancles. The deceased had been in Lord
Northland's service about three years, and was the sole sup-.
port of his mother, a poor old woman, near 100 years of age,
residing at Malahide, near Dublin. Verdict, " Temporary
insanity."
ROYAL MARINES.—WOOLWICH, JULY 19.—The
half-.yearly inspection of the Woolwich Division of Royal
Marines doing duty in the garrison took place to- day. At
precisely ten o'clock a.m., Major-General Sir flew D. Ross,
K.C.8., Deputy Adjutant-General of the Royal Artillery,
with Brigade-Major Cuppage, entered the west square of the
Royal Artillery Barracks, where the Royal Marines are at
present quartered until the new barracks for that branch of
her Majesty's service at Woolwich are completed, and was
saluted by the whole of the men drawn up in line under the
command of Colonel Parke, C. 8., the band playing the na-
tional anthem. Sir Hew D. Ross was joined by Col Owen,
C.B. and KM., Deputy Adjutant-General of the Royal Ma-
rines, and Captain Wesley, of the Royal Marine Artillery,
who attends at inspections to ascertain if any of the finest men
are willing to volunteer for service in the branch of the corps
to which he is attached. Major-General Sir. Hew D. Ross,
Colonel Parke, Colonel Owen, Captain Wesley, Lieutenant
and Adjutant Berney Varlo, and Lieutenant and Quarter-
master Onslow, then proceeded along the front and up the
rear line, and the Major-General minutely inspected the men,
and also on their being formed into companies, when two
men from each company were selected to show their kits.
The interior of the barracks was then inspected, and the
-gallant-officers then proceeded to the offices of the regiment
at present situate in one of the wings of the Royal Marine
Hospital, to examine the books and details connected with
the division. Colonel Mercer assumed the command of the
men, and they shortly after returned to their quarters. At
half-past two o'clock the whole of the men assembled again
on the parade ground in front of the Royal Artillery Bar-
racks, under the command of Colonel Parke, and marched
past Major-General Sir Hew D. Ross at slow and quick time,
in the presence of Colonel Owen and the officers of the staff.
Lieut.-Colonel Coryton then assumed the command, and put
the men through the manual and platoon exercises. Colonel
Parke resumed the command, and the men went through
their manoeuvres in a manner highly creditable to the corps
and to the entire satisfaction of the Major-General. Lieut.-
Colonel Gibsone was present, although appointed to the Royal
Marine Artillery, and will remain until the decision of the
Court-martial on Lieut. Louis, of which he is a member, is
made known. The defence of Lieut. Louis only occupied a
few minutes yesterday, and the Court again adjourned, after
stating their decision.
THE CITY OF LONDON IRON STEAMER.—This mag-
nificent steam-ship made her first voyage from Aberdeen to
Wapping, off which last-mentioned place, at the Aberdeen.-
wharf, she has been lying during the past week, on Saturday
last ; she made the voyage in an unusually short space of
time, though the wind was adverse, and she bad on board,
besides passengers and a cargo of goods, 210 head of cattle,
and 700 boxes of salmon. It is intended by the Aberdeen
Steam Packet Company, to whom she belongs, and who have
laid out upon her 40,0004 that:she shall steam regularly be-
tween Aberdeen and London. Her burden is upwards of
1,100 tons; she has three masts; from stem to stern she
measures 231 feet, and her breadth of beam is 31 feet ; her
depth of hold 20 feet; she is a fine model, and remarkably
elegant in her appearance. Her engines, which are beam-
engines, are 430 horse-power, and she has four boilers. She
is divided into five parts, water-tight, and secured with great
strength, so that in the event of an accident, whereby a leak
might be occasioned, four compartments out of the five would
be secure, and danger from sinking prevented. Captain Car-
gill, by whom she is commanded, speaks highly of her powers,
her speed, and the ease with which she may be managed.
With the exception of the Great Britain, which has not vet
been to sea, she is the largest iron steam-ship afloat. 'the
interior accommodations are very good, and the ornamental
portion of the saloon, the smaller cabins, &c., elegant, and in
good taste ; indeed, a finer vessel of her class can hardly be
imagined.
THE UNIVERSITY OF LONDON.—The Senate of the
University of London have recently come to the resolution
of adopting academical costume for the undergraduates and
graduates of every degree conferred by that body. No colle-
giate dress has been hitherto worn by the members of this
University.
