THE CASH OF HOMICIDE ON BOARD THE THOMAS
BENNETT.—LivERpooL, TUESDAY.—The prisoner, John
Kent, who has been remanded from last week on a
charge of killing Captain lialsay, and who has since
been acquitted by the verdict of a Coroner's jury, was
again brought up at the police-court yesterday. Mr.
Rushton, without making any comment, again remanded
him until this day, the American authorities in this
country not having yet male up their minds for his re-
lease; to which, however, it is probable, after the full
and impartial investigations which have taken place, they
will eventually accede.
13URGIPLIFON-SANDS, CUNIBERLAND.—The RAH of
Loisdale, the Bastin
,ster-General, on Friday last, ac-
companied by another noblt,man, visited Burgh-upon-
Sands, of which barony his Lordship is lord paramount,
to inspect the large embankment now making, for the
purpose of preventing the further encroachments of the
tide of the Solway Frith, occasioned by overflowing and
washing away the soil of a part of 2,000 acres of marsh
land of excellent quality.
The body of a newly-born female infant was found
in the churchyard at Brighten on Tuesday morning. It
was wrapped in a tablecloth, and was not cold. There
were no marks of violence discernible.

THE PRINCE OF PRUSSIA.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia, accompanied
by his Grace the Duke of Wellington and the Earl and
Countess of Westmoreland, and attended by Chevalier
Bunsen and the members of his suite, arrived at Nune-
ham, the seat of his Grace the Archbishop of York,
shortly before six o'clock on Tuesday evening, from
Oxford.

Upon alighting, the royal party were received by the
Archbishop and several members of his Grace's family,
the Noble and Gallant Duke introducing the illustrious
Prince to his venerable host, who led the way to the
grand saloon of the mansion, where the guests honoured
with invitations to meet his Royal Highness were as-
sembled. Viscount Melbourne, the Countess of Essex,
and Miss Johnson, and Mr. Samuel Rogers were, among
the company ; and each having been formally presented
to the Prince, his Royal Highness, with the members
of his suite, and several of the circle, walked in the
grounds near the house for a short period, and then re-
turned to the mansion to dress for dinner, which was
served in the banquetting-room at eight o'clock.
The Vice-Chancellor of Oxford and Mrs. Wynter and
Dr. and Mrs. Buckland were among those present. The
party included his Grace the Duke of Wellington, the
Earl and Countess of Westmoreland, Lord Melbourne,
the Dowager Countess of Essex and Miss Johnson, Mr.
Samuel Rogers, Mr. Henry and Lady Francis Harc )urt,
Mr. Egerton Harcourt, Miss Harcourt, and several other
members of his Grace's family. In the suite of his
Royal Highness were Chevalier Bunsen and Mr. Ernest
Bunsen.

Yesterday morning the Prince rose early, and walked
in the gardens attached to the house for some time.
After breakfast all the gentlemen of the party mounted
on horseback, and rode round the Park, from dif-
ferent points of which there are splendid views of the
city of Oxford, the river Isis, and other beautiful pastoral
scenery.

At ten o'clock the horses were ordered to be put to,
and at a few minutes after that hour his Royal Highness
(having first taken leave of his Grace the Duke of Wel-
lington, the Earl and Countess of Westmoreland, and the
other assembled guests, and thanked his vene-
rable host for the hospitality shown towards
himself and suite) entered the royal carriage,
and drove off in the direction of Thame, where the
first relays of horses were taken on. From Theme the
Royal party proceeded across the beautiful vale which at
this part of the country is skirted by the Chiltern hills,
and entering Buchinghamshire, proceeded direct to
Aylesbury, where they again changed horses at the
White Hart Hotel. From there the distinguished
tourists proceeded direct to Stowe, the seat of the Duke
of Buckingham, a distance of 20 miles, on arriving at
which they were received, in the absence of the family,
by the Duke's librarian, who had prepared a very hand-
some dejeuner upon learning, a few hour's previous to
the Prince's arrival, that his Royal Highness proposed
to honour Stowe with his presence.
The Royal party reached Stowe about 3 o'clock, and
after partaking of luncheon, inspected the mansions and
grounds. The Prince was greatly pleased with this
beautiful seat, and the Royal party devoted nearly three
hours to an examination of its variedfattractions.
At 6 o'clock the Prince left Stowe for the Wolverton
station on the London and Birmingham Railway, en route
for Derby, where it had been arranged his Royal High-
ness should pass the night.
In consequence of the lateness of the hour on Monday
at which the plans for the Prince's tour were arranged at
Strathfieldsaye, no intimation of the intention of his
Royal Highness to avail himself of the London and Bir-
mingham Railway had reached the directors of that com-
pany ; but the notice which appeared in the papers of
yesterday having been observed by Mr. Glyn, the chair-
man of the board, that gentleman immediately conferred
with the secretary, Mr. Creed, and a royal saloon car-
riage was dispatched by the down mail train to Wolver-
ton, to await the arrival of the Prince. Thus, even had
his Royal Highness arrived at one o'clock, everything
would have been in readiness for his reeeptiOn. AA it
happened, however, the royal party did not reach Wol-
verton until shortly before seven o'clock, when they
were received by Mr. Bruyeres, the superintendent of
the line. During the period occupied in transferring the
carriages to the trucks, his Royal Highness accompanied
Mr. Bury, the superintendent of the locomotive depart-
ment, through the extensive range of workshops where
the locomotive engines are repaired, and generally over
the establishment. His Royal Highness expressed him-
self much pleased with the excellent order which pre-
vailed throughout the departments, and surprised at the
magnitude of the arrangements.
The half-past five o'clock down-train from London
reached Wolverton about half-past seven, and the
royal carriages being attached, the Prince and suite
took their places, and in a few minutes were proceeding
rapidly towards Rugby, en route for Derby, where they
passed the night, at the Midland Counties Hotel.
His Royal Highness proceeded at six o'clock this
morning to Chesterfield, devoting three hours to an exa-
mination of the beauties of Chatsworth, returning ,to
Chesterfield, and proceeding thence to York, which city
they will reach at four o'clock. After inspecting the
cathedral and taking refreshment, they will go on to
Newcastle, which they will reach at half-past nine, and
after a short pause, proceed onwards direct to Edin-
burgh, taking up their quarters at Douglas's Hotel.
On Friday the royal party will visit Glasgow.

HAMRURGH MAIL.
BRESLAU, AUG. 2..—According to the most recent
Recounts from Poland, numerous arrests now take
place at Warsaw and other places, and kihitkas, with
prisoners, frequently set out in the night for the
interior of Russia. Perhaps these occurrences are
connected with the affair at Posen. The renewal of
the cartel causes, under these circumstances, a more
painful sensation. The Russian police now feel more
confident in pursuing the secret patriots, now that
their flig►ht has been made almost impossible.
Travellers who come from Bohemia say that,
during the late disturbances at Prague, several pla-
cards were taken down from the walls by the police,
which call to mind the ancient glory of the Bohemians,
and openly recommend the re-establishment of au
indepen lent kingdom of Bohemia. Numerous
copies of these placards are in circulatian, some of
which are not ill-written.

ST. PETERSBURGLI, AUG. 6.—Prince Lebanow

sent for some months, arrived yesterday at Cron-
stadt, and immediately proceeded to join the Imperial
family at Zarskojaselo. his interview with his
suffering sister, the Grand Duchess Alexandria, is

whose illness becomes every day more threatening,
had expressed of late the most anxious wish to see
her brother, since which account the Grand Duke
ha: returned as quick as possible.

in a few days.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.
LOSS OF FOUR LIVES.
Within the last two or three days a melancholy sensa-
tion has prevailed amongst the inhabitants of B: rleng by
the following painful and fatal occurrence. On bunday
last the Sovereign fishing-smack, the property of Messrs.
Allen and Hughes, at Barking, arrived in the creek,
after a week's fishing along the north-east coast, having,
in attempting to render assistance to a Dutch vessel in
distress, lost her master, Mr. Nicholas, two apprentices,
as also the captain of the foreigner. From the state-
ments of the remainder of the crew it appears that on
Sunday morning, while they were cruizing in the Boston
Deeps, eff the Lincolnshire coast, between Cromer and
Flamborough-head lights, their attention was drawn to a
vessel apparently in great distress a few miles distant.
Mr. Nicholas immediately brought his vessel up and
made all speed in bearing down to the one disabled,
which proved to be the Neptunus, laden with iron and
bound from hull to Altona. On boarding her they as.
certained that she had sprung a leak during the gale_of
wind on the previous day, and to prevent her foundering
the crew had been working vigorously at the pump
during the whole night. It being evident, not-
withstanding their exertions, that she was rapidly fil-
ing, and being much exhausted by the continued lab ,nr,
they endeavoured to run her into the Humber„ but very
trifling way could be made owing to the circumstance of
the wind blowing from the westward, and the vessel being
deeply laden. They hail got the ship's boat out on the
smack coming up, in case of emergency, and Mr.
Nicholam, seeing that the unfortunate vessel would
shortly go down, advised the captain and his crew, to
lose no time in escaping, the latter shoving off in their
own boat, and the former getting into that of the smack.
They had scarcely, however, reached half a dozen yards
before the brig completely blew up by the force of water
under her deck, her hull at the same moment parting in
half, and she instantly sunk. Mr. Nicholas and the
captain of the ill-fated vessel, perceiving the danger
their frail craft was in of being drawn down by the eddy
produced by the foundering of the ship, exerted every
effort to get clear of it. Unhappily, however, they were
overtaken by the draught, and the boat was almost
momentarily sucked under, with all on board, viz., the
two masters and two apprentices. The other boat's
crew, who had a most narrow escape from meeting with
a similar fate, witnessing the distressing occurrence,.
made all haste to the spot after the eddy had somewhat
subsided; in the hope of picking up the unfortunate
creatures, but they were never seen afterwards, and
must have all perished. The remainder of the crew of
the fishing smack then started homewards with those of
the Neptunus. On her arriving at Gravesend, the de-
plorable catastrophe was immediately made known to
the tide-vi alter, who communicated the loss to Lie.) d's.
The crew of the brig were then landed, and were for-
warded yesterday to their respective homes at the ex-
pense of their counts y's consul.
