HOP INTELLIGENCE.

BITRWASH, AUG. 31.—The somewhat showy appear-
ance which the forward sorts of hops are assuming in
some of our plantations, is beguilin-g many people into a
belief that we shall get this season a somewhat heavy
crop. The eye of the experienced planter, however, de-'
tects deficiencies in our prospects which escape the ob-
servation of persons less watchful, because not so im-
mediately interested in the progress of the plant. He
will tell you that, in his opinion, we shall get a " top
crop" merely ; that in many gardens the lower leaves
are turning yellow ; that the less forward sorts are, in
most places, still in burr ; and where in hop are making
little apparent improvement, they seem so " buttony,"
so stinted. The sorts, too, that are more advanced, are
not, he says, likely to be full of condition—their growth
has been too sudden. The duty is thought, about here,
to be over set.

HEATHFIELD, AUG. 30.—Notwithstanding the wea-
ther is now more dry and settled, and peculiarly favour-
able for the harvest, the cold nights, accompanied with
strong and at times violent north-easters, so retard the
growth of hops, that many are of opinion the backward
burr of the grape hops can never develop themselves.
In. most gardens there are numerous stages of growth,
from the tolerably large hop to the smallest sickly-look-
ing burr, and while the more advanced stages are appa-
rently forcing their way to maturity, great numbers of
those in the rear will evidently be light and useless.
HORSMONDEN, AUG. 30.—The hops in this parish will,
we believe, equal, if not again surpass any parish in the
kingdom. The late fine weather has brought them ge-
nerally into full development. The Jones's in many
gardens are splendid ; the Colgate's and grape are also
very good. The above remarks do not apply by any
means. to the plantations in Kent generally, as a get at
portion of them will exhibit a great falling off in the
quantity anticipated six weeks ago, many of the grounds
being still only in burr.
MAYFIELD, AUG. 29.—The hops have improved this
week, and Should the present fine weather continue there
is a chance of a fair crop. The grape are in a very
backward state, but the Jones's are in a more forward
condition, are remarkably full of fruit, and present a
most luxuriant appearance. It is remarked by some of
the planters, that they never witnessed a season when
they were so full of hops before.
RYE, AUG. 30.—The bleak easterly winds of the last
three or four days have proved a considerable check to
the development of the hops, which the few previous
days of warm weather had so much accelerated, and it is
now feared that they will not have time to grow out, as
the period is fast approaching when they should be ready
for the oast. A pocket of hops was picked in the gar-
dens•of Mr. Winton, of Beckley, on Wednesday last,
and despatched to London on Wednesday, fur which
81. ss. per cwt. was obtained ; the pocket weighed 1 cwt.
2 qrs. 161bs.
TICEHURST, AUGUST 31.—The last few days have, it
is evident, been greatly in favour of the hops ; but the
cold nights and mornings very much retard their growth.
The Jones's are looking very well, but the grape are, in
many places, scarcely in burr. I think, after all,-we shall
have a pretty fair crop, but, it is clear, not so large a one
as was at first anticipated. .
MAIDSTONE.—The last few days' fine weather has
done wonders for our hops,—the burr is now fast turn-
ing into hop, but they cannot be large or weigh well,
having so little time to grow. We learn that the mould
where it has appeared has decreased on the leaves,
and there is less than might have been expected on
the hops. They are still a fortnight later than
usual ; but, as a correspondent remarks, the old-
fashioned hoppings were generally a late cold job,
though the great improvements that have recently been
made in the oasthouses have very much• expedited the
matter. The duty a few days ago went down to 170,000! ;
it has now risen to 180,0001. again.
BOXLEY, AYLFSFORD, AND BURIIAM.—The hops have
not made that improvement which might have been ex-
pected from the fine weather of last week. If they were
capable of doieg anything the hot sun would have insde
them do it, but they still hangin burr, or, where hops
have come out, they look anything but kindly. The pre-
sent appearances are all against the crop.
YALDING.—We don't expect above half a crop here,
not,sithstanding the late fair weather. They hang in
burr, anti !ook anything but kindly.
THE SUTTONS.—The hops are not going on at all well.
On the hilly districts they do not grow out, and it is nut
probable that we shall get anything like an average crop.
MEZEWORTH, WATERINGBURY.—Our hops exhibit
some slight improvement, but are still very backward.
STApLEHURST.—The hopping, though late, will still
be productive. The following statement of the date of the
commencement of hopping in this parish during the last
twelve years may be interesting to some readers :-
1835, August 31 ; 1836, Sept. 5 ; 1837, Sept. 4 ; 1838,
August 29 ; 1839, Sept. 9 ; 1840, Sept. 7 ; 1811,
Sept. 6 ; 1842, August 29 ; 1843, Sept. 4 ; 1844,
Sept. 2.
CRANBROOK.—The late fine sunny days have made a
litt'e better appearance in mOs't of our hop grounds.
SEVENOAKS.—We aro sorry to notice this week that
the hops make very little way, they hang so long
in burr ; in fact, we have noticed several gar-
dens where this burr has from the continued
cold and wet dropped off, and that to a great extent ;
still there are individual pieces in the neighbourhood,
particularly on the lighter soil, getting nicely out in
hop, and with warm nights and sunny weather, the crop
would probably be an average one. The duty in this
neighbourhood is called 160,0001.
EDENBRIDGE.—We can find a considerable improve.•
ment in our grounds ; since we have been favoured with
such fine weather for the last three days, the burr is
coming out generally very nicely.
CANTERBURY.—With the exception of Tuesday, the
weather of this week has been partially favourable fur
the hops —not, it is true, so warm as could have been
desired, but still sufficient to help the development of the
burr. A few fine specimens were exhibited in our mar-
ket on Saturday se'nnight. We fear that the heavy
ruins and hurricane of Tuesday will be found to have
blown the poles about considerably. The duty is quoted
at 175,0001.
WORCESTER, AUG. 27.—The hops are gone from bad
to worse, and the crop is now likely to be very deficient ;
the vermin having in many places increased to an
alarming extent, and completely destroyed the hopes of
the planters. The duty is now currently estimated at
12,0001. ; and the market continues brisk at an advance
of 10s. per cwt., fine samples being readily sold at 6/.
to 6/, IN.—Sussex Advertiser.

THE NEW MERCHANT SEAMEN'S

ACT.

A letter received at Lloyd's, from their agent at the
Cape of Good Hope, mentions that masters of vessel
had been fined several hundred pounds at Cape Town,
for an informality in the ship's articles under the New
Merchant Seamen's Act. By clause 53, it is required
that the Christian names of each party signing be written
in full. In case; where they had been abbreviated, in-
formation of such informality has been given to the
collector of customs at that place, and fines imposed in
every instance. Captain Hight, of the City of Poonah,
ha 4 been condemned in penalties amounting to 801.,
who, in a letter addressed to Lloyd's agent, there com-
plains of the harsh construction put on the Act in his
and other cases, mentions the fact that in many cases
the men are incapable of writing any more than the
abbreviation, and inquires whether a man's signature,
different from his ordinary mode, would be recognised to
a bill of exchange, power of attorney, or any other
authority or agreement? And if the necessity of the ex-
ample be recognised, why should penalties be laid in
each individul case in the articles ? As one moiety of
the fines, however, is awarded to the informer, the
reason is sufficiently clear.
Under these circumstances, the shipping interest, and
particularly ship masters, will do well to exercise ex-
treme caution, and observe the rules of the Act in the
strictest sense.

•
THE TASMANIA CONVICT SHIP.
SOLEMN SCENE.
As it was expected that the above vessel would sail
on Saturday from Kingstown Harbour, a number of
persons proceeded to the pier to witness the impressive
and melancholy sik,ht. The day was beautiful, the sky
was serene, the sea unruffled and smooth as a mirror—
all nature was hushed in hallowed repose, and every-
thing indicated peacefulness and happiness ; but when
the eye turned to the gloomy form of the convict ship
as it lay upon those calm blue waters, a floating
dungeon, the prison-home of the felon exile, a sadness
came over the mind from the reflection that, however
bright, and lovely, and joyous all things around it
seemed to be, within its dark and tomb-like bosom
were enclosed many suffering spirits, whose crimes
had expatriated them from their native land, and to
whom the beauties of " the firmament above and the
earth beneath" were but as " a foul and pestilent con-
gregation of vapours." At three o'clock, through the
kindness of the commander, Wm. Black, Esq., and Sur-
geon Jason Lardner, a few visitors were allowed on
board. The convicts, altogether consisting of females,
amounting in number to 137 women and 37 children,
were at this time arranged at the mess table, and bad
just eaten a plain substantial dinrer. The visitors de-
scended one or two ladders which led to the prison, as
the place in which the convicts eat their meals and sleep
is called, and entered, by stooping, through a great door-
way, very much resembling that of an ordinary cell.
This prison is situated under decks, and the mess-tables,
which are constructed at each. side, extend about two-
thirds the ship's length. Each table is sufficiently large
to accommodate eight persons with ease, and at night
can be converted into a bedstead, or receptacle
for a mattress ; it is railed or boarded in like a
sheep-pen, and separated from similar tables which at
either side adjoin it. To reach these tables or leave
them it is, therefore, necessary to climb over the wooden
railings. At the time to which we allude all the con-
victs were penned in—some were occupied sewing, some
winding thread or cotton into balls ; some reading
pray ers from small time and thumb-worn books—some
endeavouring " to make out" the last letter from home,
while ethers were lulling their sick-looking infants to
slumber, or sitting silently and motionless in a state of
mo. bid, moping melancholy. The hour for recreation
upon deck having arrived, the convicts prepared to
proceed there, and a few had done so when the shrieks
of a woman were heard " above," together with the
rapid steps of a female, who was apparently running abut
the deck, chasing and beating every person whom she
met. Then resounded from all quarters exclamations such
as " The mad woman has broken loose"—" She is
coining down stairs"—" Shut the door." Some of the
women ran and hid under the tables or in the little hos-
pital which adjoins the prison ; and others, more cou-
rageous, hastened upon deck to see what it was that was
disturbing the vessel. It was soon ascertained that a
woman named Mary Kelly, who was mad, or feigned
madness, was pursuing all who were within her reach.
She had, it appeared, exhibited symptoms of violent insa-
nity, or assumed them, from the time that she was
brought on Huard, in consequence of which it was
considered necessary by those who had the care
of her to take means to prevent the possibi-
lity of her injuring any one. Her hands were
accordingly fastened behind her back, her feet were tied
together by leathern rings, and she was kept down in a
recumbent position by a fellow-prisoner who was selected
to guard her. The surgeon was unwilling to take
her on board as he was afraid she would disturb the
peace and order of the vessel, and he objected to leaving
the harbour and sailing until he heard further upon the
subject from the Executive. A communication was
therefore made to the Castle, and an intimation received
therefrom, that on Monday a medical investigation to
test the state of the convict's mind would take place.
On the receipt of this reply the surgeon gave directions
t 3 liberate the prisoner. Her fetters
.were then re-
moved, and when she found herself free, she, as has
been already stated, rushed furiously upon all whom she
mot, tearing the clothes, caps, and hair of the women,
striking the commander, surgeon, and sailors, and
creating the consternation and dismay which has
le en but faintly described. The Reverend Ber-
nard Kirby, chaplain of the Grangrgorman depot
for female covicts, who paid a visit to the vessel
to give his parting and prayerful admonitions
to the unfortunate prisoners to conduct themselves
peaceably during the voyage, and virtuously for the
remainder of their lives, was in the cabin of the com-
mander at this period, and went forward to restrain the
infuriated woman. He spoke to her, reasoned with her,
and succeeded in bringing her mind to a condition of
temporary composure. lie then collected the Roman
Catholics (upwards of 100 in number) into groups at
each side of the vessel, and prevailed upon Mary Kelly
to kneel near him. The scene at this period was very
imposing. Here were a number of human beings, vary-
ing from ten years old to seventy—the black glossy
cuels of girlhood, contrasting with the hoary locks of
wintry age; the bright beaming eye and rosy cheek of
dawning womanhood, with the sunken tearful eye and
withered cheek of " three score years and ten"—all
kneeling to supplicate mercy from an offended God for
crimes different in complexion and kind, ascending in
the scale of eriminalty from the felony of a riband to the
murder of a husband or a child ; and in duration of
punishment from seven to ten years, to perpetual tran-
sportation. Side by side knelt the miserable creature
who poisoned her husband in Kilkenny, and she who
drowned her infant in Wicklow when driven from the
door of her seducer ; and near them sported, in happy
innocence, unconscious of their degradation, unobservant
of the misery around them, happy and playful as if they
were gathering flowers in the field, two little girls
the children of the convict mothers. The Rev. Mr.
Kirby having gone through a portion of the
evening service, usual • upon such an ocea
sion, Mary Kelly, being under' the impression
that an old woman behind her, who was saying
her prayers in a very loud tone, had approached too
near her, turned round, and with a heavy blow laid the
poor penitent prostrate upon the deck. A panic spread
through the crowd, several rose from their kneeling po-
sitions, and ran towards the forepart of the vessel ; in
their fliget two women fell over a wet coil of ropes,
which in no small degree disturbed the solemnity of the
scene ; but the service, notwithstanding this ludicrous
episode, was continued to the close. The influence which
religion had over the mind of Mary Kelly was but tran-
sient, for she broke out again in a manner equally violent
as before, and it became a second time necessary to hand-
cuff her. The authorities of the vessel stated that they
never had a better conducted class of convicts entrusted
to their care, or persons more disposed to submit to dis-
cipline and observe the regulations which they had made.
The vessel will, it is thought, sail on Monday,
evening for Van Diemen's Land, where it will in ail
prebability arrive about the month of January next. A
plentiful supply of provisions has been laid in,
comprising pigs, sheep, and all descriptions of fowl ;
and this fine vessel, one of the largest, most cleanly, and
most expeditious in the service of the Government,iu-
tended for the transmission of convicts, has been fitted
up in every way that could ensure the comfort of those
whom it is destined to convey to exile. The convicts
will be usefully employed during the voyage in making
shirts, stockings, and other articles of clothing. They
retire to rest &arise, eat their meals and amuse them-
selves upon deck at nertain hours, the rules in these
respects being very rigid. The children who accompany
their mothers are left with the m till they are two years old,
they are then taken from them and educated at the
exppnse of the Government. The Rev. B. Kirby re-
turned to f`Otivemount" at is o'clock. The Rev.
Gentleman ran some risk in visiting the vessel, for he
had only a day or two recovered from a dangerous
raver, in which his life was despaired of by his phy-
sicians, and which originated in exposure to cold and
over-portion in his untiring labour to support the
interests of the beeevelent institution which he has
funded. The assiduity and the enesiety evinced by
Mrs. Itimlins, the matron of the Gi•angegorman
l'rison, in preparing each convict for the voyage,
and seeing that everything was provided for
her which necessity required, is beyond all
praise, A. number of attendants have been appointed
from among the eonvicts themselves, She most aptive and
nt being selected tn wait upon the rest during
their meals ; and to prevent oonfunon, all the 'articles
belonging to each convict have been numbered, the num-
ber which they bear corresponding with that affixed to
a plate worn by her. In conclusion, it may be said that
a scene such as is here feebly depicted reads a whole-
sew eisa eltenn moral lesson ; it was one which deeply
interested a I the visitors, who were indebted to the
courtesy of the commander and surgeon for an opportu-
nity of witnessing it--Saunders.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

Yesterday, Richard Lacey, a young man, the son of a re-
tired tradesman, was brought before Mr. Alderman Cope-
land, on suspicion of stealing a drawer containing notes and so- 1
vereigns to the amount of 301., from the bar of the Plough
public-house, in Fore-street, Cripplegate.
Mr. Middleton, the landlord, stated that a drawer contain-
ing the above amount was stolen from his bar between eight
and nine o'clock the previous nigkt. The prisoner and three
other persons were talking with him at the bar, and the pri-
soner was particular in taking hold of his arm to secure his
attention to what he was saying. He missed the drawer about
five minutes after they left. They came in a chaise, which
remained at the door till they all went away together.
Mr. Lewis, who astendeci for the prisoner, cross-examined
the witness, who said he drank with them. They were there
a quarter of an hour. The prisoner was not near the place
where the drawer was. The prisoner did not enter the bar,
nor did witness leave it. He saw the money safe about five
minutes before the men came in. The subject of the prisoner's
conversation was that the Plough was not so good a house as
the Globe in the same street, which his father used to keep.
Witness did not remember that there were two men and a boy
there, who seemed to be unconnected with the prisoner. One
of the four men went into the kitchen, and treated the waitress
with a glass of gin.
Mr. Alderman COPELAND inquired whether the prisoner
had been asked who his friends were ?—Mr. Lewis said he
would answer that question. The prisoner had but one friend
with him, and he had immediately given his address.
Mr. Alderman COPELAND asked if the four men were evi-
dently of the same party ?.—The witness replied, they all came
in together, and the prisoner and another man conversed with
witness while the other two kept walking backwards and for-
wards towards the kitchen. He was sure three of the men
went away together in the chaise. He could not say whether
the prisoner did.
Robert Coutts, the waiter, said the party came in a four-
wheel chaise, and while some were talking with his master the
others walked backwards and forwards in the house. He saw
one of them looking into the bar, and he afterwards saw one of
them go out with something under his coat, and the others
went away directly. He should know the men again.
Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—Could not say whether his
master was drunk or sober. His master's back was towards the
man who looked in. The prisoner was in the bar at the time
the man went out with something under his coat. Knew that
main by sight. Had not invited him to call that evening, nor
did he hold the horse's head. Told the waitress he thought a
man had stolen something, and asked her to go and see if she
could miss anything out of the bar.
By Mr. Alderman COPFLAND—The prisoner went away in
the chaise.
Mr. Alderman COPELAND said he was very remiss in not
giving an alarm. He should have seized the man by the collar.
The witness said he could hardly believe his eyes, that one
of the gentlemen had got something under his coat.
Mr. Lew is said his client was apprehended that morning, in
consequence of having stated that he was the sou of a late
neighbour, and the fact of his having mentioned that, showed
that he had not entered the house to steal the till. He would
call a witness to show that he was the son of a wealthy respect-
able man.
Mr. Alderman Corxnanti said that was not necessary. He
remembered the father, but he wanted evidence as to the cha-
racter of the son. He remanded the prisoner till Friday with
leave to tnd bail.

Mary Ann Exlade, the wife, who gave her evidence with
great reluctance, said that she had lived very happily with de-
fendant, to whom she had been married upwards of ten years,
until about four months ago, since which he had, when intoxi-
cated, repeatedly abused her. Between eleven and twelve, on
the previous night, they had some words, when defendant
seized a table knife, which had been used at supper, and stabbed
her above the left breast. She put up her arm to ward off the
blow, and that was also cut. Defendant put some strapping
on the wound and went to bed; and she sat by the fire until, in
consequence of the loss of blood, she fainted. Her wound was
subsequently dressed at the hospital, and defendant given into
custody. Her husband had no control over himself whn drunk,
and was very much intoxicated at the time he stabbed her.
She had al l° been drinking very freely, and was very aggra-
vating to hint. Her friends were very poor, and as her two
children were dependant upon her husband for support, she
hoped the magistrate would discharge him.
Defendant expressed his sorrow, and said he did not know
what he was about.
Mr. IloNn directed that the police should take the woman
to the hospital, in older to ascertain the condition of the wound,
and on their return with a certificate,
Mr. BOND. after pointing out to the defendant the conse-
quences that might have resulted from his violence, considered
that a+ his wife was fortunately not in the slightest danger,
and as Isis family were entirely dependent upon him, the jus-
tice of the case would be met by calling upon defendant to find
bail for.the next 12 months.—The defendant was lacked up.
• MARYLEBON E.
Eli Mallett, a police constable of the S division, 134, was
brought before the sitting Magistrate, Mr. Rawlinson, by
order of the Commissioners, on the charge of having used un-
necessary violence towards a lad named Joseph Chandler, by
striking him on the head, and other parts of his person, with a
truncheon.

Mr. Wm. King, No. 23, Seymour-place, Camden-town,
deposed that on Sunday afternoon last, about two o'clock, as
he was standing by his own door, he saw a youth running along,
followed clo,elv by the defendant, who upon coming up with
him, knocked him down and fell over him. Defendant then
got up, and with his truncheon struck the boy with considerable
violence on the head and legs. Witness remonstrated with
him (defendant) with regard to the brutality of his behaviour;
and his number was taken by some other persons who were
upon the spot at the time. Witness added that he saw no
cause whatever given fiir the blows which were inflicted,
neither did he know at the period in question why the lad was
running away.
Mr. Charles Caston, egg merchant, of Buck-street, Camden-
town, stated that he saw a lad, who was in charge, escape
from the custody of defendant. The latter might, on over-
taking the lad, have laid hold of him, and conveyed him along
without any trouble, had he thought fit to have done so. Wit-
ness corroborated Mr. King's evidence as to the striking of him
(the youth) with the truncheon while he lay upon the ground.
Mr. 3lorgan James, grocer, of Park-terrace, said that he
also witnessed the blows, and that owing to the one which was
inflicted upon the head, the lad was, stunned, and remained
in a state of insensibility for nearly ten minutes. It was at

Defendant added that on overtaking him he merely held up
145 staff to frighten him, and that he fell down apparently in a
fit. The accused farther said that he used no more violence
its any way than was necessary to recapture Chandler, and de-
nied that he had struck him in the way sworn to by several

Mr. RAWLINSON—This is the worst case which has been
brought before me, with regard to police misconduct, for a
long while. It is greatly to be regretted that such a man as
you was ever admitted as a member of the force, and if I were
not fully aware that the offence of which you have been guilty
will be attended with the loss of your situation, I should eer-
tainly convict you in the highest
penalty, namely, 10/. ; you are

The defendant was thinlocked up, and at one o'clock was
conveyed in the Government van to prison, where he will be

the officer instantly pursued the prisoner, whom he overtook
at a short distance, and having found both the money and du-
plicate in her possession, took her into custody.
Other cases of a similar description were the gone into, and
the prisone , who declined offering any defencen, was committed
for trial upon all the charges.
Clotrks Rawlings was charged with having stolen several
articles of pla'e, the property of M. Arlene Cellier, a French
gentleman, residing in Mare.street, Hackney.
It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor, that he had
employed the prisoner to attend at his house for some hours of
a morning to assist the other servants, and soon after his de-
parture on Monday last, it was discovered that two silver spoons
had disappeared from the rantry, to which he had access; but,
in the absence of any direct evidence against him, no notice
was then taken of the circumstance. On the following
morning, howew, another spoon, Itc4 il, plated fish-fork

LAMBETH.

Mr. Metcalf, a chemist and druggist, residing in the Wal-
worth-road, appeared before Mr. Norton, to answer to a sum-
mons calling upon him to show cause why he detained a valua-
ble gold watch, the property of Mr. Buckman, who is at
present labouring under insanity.
Mr. Games, who attended on behalf of Mr. Sawbone, the
cousin of the lunatic, apprised the magistrate of the facts of
the case, and from his statement it appeared that on Saturday
week Mr. Buckman, who was in business as an oilman, left his
house at an early hour, drove about in a cab to various whole-
sale houses in his line of business, gave orders for large quan-
tities of goods, snore than he could sell for seven years, and on
his way home had entered the shop of Mr. Metcalf, where he
made some purchases, And also, it appeared, agreed to give Mr.
Metcalf 151. for a receipt for the manufacture of some article
or other, and as a guarantee for payment had deposited his gold
watch with the vendor. On returning home the same day
Mr. Buckman was found to be in such a state that his friends
deemed it necessary to place him under restraint, and he was
still unfortunately under the charge of a keeper.
The defendant proceeded to say that Mr. Buckman came
to his house and purchased some custard powder and other
art.:cles to the amount of about 2/. ; he also agreed to pay him
151. for a receipt, and was about to write a cheque for the
money, but he (Mr. Metcalf) told him that, as he was a
stranger to him, he would prefer the money, or some security,
upon which he (Mr. Buckman) left his watch.

Mr. Nowrori—What was the nature of the receipt you sold
lo Mr. Buckman ? Mr. Metcalf—A receipt for making cus-
tardpowder. . .

M. Games—Did Mr. Buckman remain for some time at
your house? Mr. Metcalf—He did.
Mr. Games—And you had a good deal of conversation with
him ? Mr. Metcalf—Yes, a good deal.
Mr. Games—Then I now ask you, whether from that con-
versation you had not discovered that this unfortunate young
man was not in his right senses? Mr. Metcalf—No, I did not.
He appeared to me to be perfectly rational.
Mr. Games—Well, Sir, I now ask you whether any indi-
vidual in his senses would have given you one shilling for this
custard-powder receipt you speak of? Mr. Metcalf—l do say
there are, and that the receipt was worth the money. It was
his own proposition, and he offered me 301., provided I con-
sented to discontinue its manufacture ; and also agreed to take
the stock of the article I had on hand at a valuation. I have
sold from 4001. to 5001. worth of the article in the last twelve
months, and, therefore, the receipt was worth the sum agreed
upon.

Mr. Games informed the magistrate that the unfortunate
young man, whose bereavement had led to the present pro-
ceedings, was outside, in custody of his keeper, and was about
to be placed in Bethlehem ; and the only object Mr. Sawbone,
his cousin, had in view in taking the present course was, that
his property might be secured.
It was finally agreed that the complainant should pay for the
articles purchased from the defendant, except the receipt, and
also give him an indemnity fur the watch; and Mr. Metcalf
upon these terms delivered it up.

he offered him a lower price than the rates fixed by Act of
Parliament. He refused to take charge of the ship unless paid
according to the regular scale, and told the defendant it was
contrary to law to do so. The defendant said he would get a
cheap pilot, and he then left him. On the following day be
again went on board, and found the ship gettirg under weigh,
with an easterly wind, and an unlicensed pilot on board. He
took charge of the ship with the defendant's permission, and he
said the draught of water was only nine feet, and he shaped
his course accordingly. On arriving in the lower part of Gal-
leons, near Woolwich, he met with a shoal, and was taking the
ship over it, when she began to smell the ground, and tailed
on the edge of the shoal, where she stuck fast. Ho then told
the defendant that he had made a great mistake in the ship's
draught of water, and that instead of nine feet she drew eleven
feet ; and, to satisfy himself, he sounded round the vessel, and
found that her draught of water was 11 feet. The ship re-
mained on the shoal until next flood tide, when she floated off,
and he piloted her without any further misadventure down to
the Sunk-light, where the defendant paid him 71. for his pilot-
age, and gave a boatman 155., as he was bound to do, to put
him ashore. He had only received pilotage for a ship drawing
nine feet of water. The ship drew within an inch or two of 11
feet, but he had only charged for 10i feet, and was legally en-
titled to 275. more.

Air. BRODERIP—How much does the chip actually draw?
The pilot—l found, according to the Norwegian measure-
ment, which is a little more than the English, 101 feet. It
was close upon 11 English feet.
The defendant made some vague observations in reply to
the charges. He admitted the ship drew 10 feet, or 10 feet
2 inches, or a little more, and said, if the pilot knew the differ-
ence between the Norwegian and the English measurement, he
ought to have ascertained the draught of water before he took
charge of the ship.
The pilot said he was quite unprepared for what took place.
He relied on what the captain said, that his vessel drew nine
feet only. When the vessel took the ground the accident was
attended with danger to the ship and cargo, and if anything
serious had happened he might hare lost his license and his
reputation at the same time.
Mr. BRODERIP said he had never met with such a case
before during his long experience as a magistrate. The pilot
alleged that a deception was practised upon him to save a few
shillings in the amount of pilotage. and it did appear he was
not prepared for the ship " smelling the ground," and would
have avoided the shoal if he had been aware the ship drew
eleven feet water. The evidence of the pilot was not rebutted,
and he was of opinion he was entitled to the additional sum of
275., and ought to have been paid for a ship of 104 feet draught
of water instead of nine feet.

WRECK OF THE FELICIDADE

SCHOONER.

It will be in the recollection of our readers that the
slave schooner Felicidade, of infamous celebrity, after
being the scene of the treacherous murder of the Bri-
tish officers and crew who had charge of her as a prize,
was recaptured by her Majesty's ship Star, and after
being manned by a small party of sailors, under
command of Lieutenant Wilson, was dispatched to Sierra
Leone for adjudication. She was suddenly upset in a
squall while on her voyage, and a brief summary of the
extraordinary escape of the crew has already appeared
in our columns, but we have had sent to us the fol-
lowing more detailed account of the shipwreck :—On the
6th of March, in lat. 1 deg. 18 min. N., and long. 3 deg.
30 min. N., at noon, Cape Three Points, the nearest land
bearing N.N.E , distant about 230 miles, about three P.sr.,
when under sail, steering W.N.W., with a breeze from the
south, a squall was observed coming up astern. Sail was
immediately shortened, but the man at the helm, instead
of keeping her in the course she was steering, as he was
ordered by Lieutenant Wilson to do, put the helm aport,
and then brought her by the lee ; the squall took her at
the sane moment, and she turned over in a minute on
her beam ends and filled. The squall passed over in
half an hour. No lives had been lost. The whole
number were huddled together on the gunwale.
Having no boat, and fearing that she might
not float along, the only expedient that occurred to
them for saying their lives was the construction of
a raft, which was immediately set about. Three of the
seamen had knives, with which they began at once to
cut all the spars, canvas, and cordage that could be got
at ; the main-boom was not obtained without great dif-
ficulty, and then only by the Kroomen diving and cutting
the gear under water. Before dark they had succeeded
in lashing the main-yard, fore and maintopsail, top-gal-
lantsail yards, studsail booms and gaffs, for a raft ; it
was then shifted to leeward of the vessel, and all hands,
ten in number, got upon it, apprehensive that the vessel
might sink during the night. In the morning, finding
the raft was hardly able to carry them all, the foreyard
was added as an outside spar, the main-boom being on
the other side, and the smaller spars amidships. The
only provision they could procure was a little putrid
pork, no water, and about a gallon and a half of rum,
which had been lashed on deck. Nothing else could be
procured, for the Kroomen, though expert divers, were
prevented by the slave-deck from getting into the vessel.
Having nothing but their light clothing, some canvas
was taken from the sails to serve as protection from the
weather, and all the small rope that could be procured
was also placed upon the raft, for the purpose of re-
placing the lashings should they be long upon it. As
much of the planking of the bulwarks as could be torn
off was preserved for paddles to steer with, and for seats.
About four A.M. of the 19th, finding the schooner had
settled down considerably, and that nothing. more was
to be got from her, a mast and sail was rigged, and
they cast off from the wreck in good spirits, in the hope
of reaching land. Having no compass, the sun by day
and the stars by night were their guide. For four days
there was no appearances of rain, and all suffered much
from thirst ; and so few clothes had been saved, that in
the day they were scorched by the sun, and at night the
cold was intense. From the weight upon the raft, and
from the circumstance of all the spars having their fit-
tings upon them, it swam very deep, which kept them
constantly immersed in water, and if they lay down, the
sea washed over their heads; in fact, the fore part of the
raft was from two to three feet under water.

On the fifth day they caught a little rain water, which
served to revive every one, and on the seventh day they
obtained another, though more scanty supply.
On the ninth day two of the Kroomen were delirious
from drinking salt water, and in the evening the Quar-
ter-master, also, became delirious from the same cause,
notwithstanding their having been earnestly cautioned
aeainst it, and the inevitable consequences pointed out.
The sharks, which had followed them from the third
day, began now to swim round the raft, and an attempt
was successfully made to catch one ; a bait was held out,
and when the shark was in the act of turning to it, one
of the Kroomen seized him by the tail, a rope was imme-
diately made fast, and the men cut him across the back
with their knives, which rendered him comparatively
powerless, and by their united efforts it was dragged
upon the raft. It measured between seven and eight feet
in length. The blood and flesh revived them ; and that
day, the tenth from leaving the wreck, it rained heavily,
which enabled them to assauge their thirst and to fill
the empty rum cask half full of water. Nothing, how-
ever, could restore the three Kroomen and the Quarter-
master, who were previously delirious. The next morn-
ing one of the Kroomen was found dead on the raft, the
other two died during the day, and the Quartermaster in
the evening, giving the survivors a fearful warning of
the effects of drinking salt water.
The greatest care was taken of the water, a mouthful
being served out three times a day in the heel of a
shoe. They caught at intervals three more sharks, in
the same manner as before, and some flying fish ; the
latter, however, they could scarcely swallow, so parched
were their throats. They found the sharks much more
nourishing and easy to eat. It rained once or twice
afterwards, but the sea ran over their heads in such a
manner that they found it impossible to catch water.
Their utmost effort was now required to keep the raft
together ; it often got adrift, and little rope was left to
secure it. Their limbs were so swollen and ulcerated,
and so little strength was left them, that they could
scarcely move. The masthead had fallen down, and they
were unable to raise it, so that all hope of reaching the
land began to fail them. Nevertheless, the English sea-
men were resigned and obedient.
On the 3d of April one of the Brazilians died. In
the evening of the 4th of April, after having been nine-
teen days upon the raft, they saw the laud. The next
morning it was out of sight again. Soon after daylight
they saw a sail to leeward ; she appeared to approach
the raft, and the hope of being saved gave them strength
to stand up and make signals, but in vain, for she shortly
bore up and left them. They were then so weak that
had the raft reached the land, they were well aware that
they must have perished in the surf. Another vessel
now appeared in sight, and communicated with the one
they had first seen. She then stood towards them, and
their hopes once more revived ; a boat was sent out, and
they found they had been saved by her Majesty's brig
Coquet, being then about thirty miles to leeward of St.
Paul's. Four hours after they had been picked up the
other Brazilian died, he also had drank salt water.

The conduct of the men was most exemplary through-
out, and, under the Providence of God, was mainly instru-
mental in preserving their lives.

1 /. 7s. 6d, per Share.
(Provisionally Registered.)
PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
The ohjeCt of this Company is to supply the jnhabitants of the
southern, and a portion of the trorthern, distiricts of the metropolis,
with the pure water of the ItVer Wandle, in lieu of that which they
at present derive throngh the established Companies from the
Thames, contomhtated as it is by the sewerage of the whole
metropolis,
The River Wandle rises at Croydon, and falls into the Thames at
Wandsworth. The water will be taken from the mouth of the
river, thus avoiding compensation to the millowners and others on
the stream.
This river will be prelVlVed uncontaminated by means of a series of
sewers ccustrutted ghtlg its course, into which every impurity now
finding its way Into the stream will be turned, and flow direct-into
the Thames. lAy this mode a pure supply of water, exceeding in the
driest ototOn 27,000,000 gallons daily, or more than four times the
quantity supplied by the present Companies on the south side, will
be secured to this Company.
This project, which 15 of real and undoubted importance, will com-
mand a most profitable return on the eutlay, and confer a boon on
the immense population of the districts in question.
The ttroessary surveys and estimates have been completed.
Detailed prospectuses, containing the names of the Provisional
Committee and officers, will be published shortly. Meantime appli-
cations for shares, in the form below, should be made to the joint
solicitors of the Company, Messrs. Borchelt, Kilgour, and Parson,
47, Parliament-street ; and Messrs. Watts, Galsworthy, and Gals-
worthy, 19, Ely-place, Holborn.

FLY and BURY ST. EDMUNDS RAILWAY.
A A Company is in the course of formation for the construction
of a RAILWAY from the City of ELY to the Town of BURY ST.
EDMUNDS.
The Line will commence !by a Junction at Ely with the Eastern
Counties, Lynn and Ely, and Ely and Huntingdon Railways, and
will terminate at Bury by a Junction with the Ipswich and Bury
Railway.
Its object is to preserve the mercantile connexion which has for
generations subsisted between the county of Suffolk, the town of
Bury, and the Port of Lynn, and, to afford to Ipswich, Colchester,
and Bury, and all that portion of the kingdom, a direct communica-
tion with the manufacturing districts.
The distance from Bury, and consequently from all places eastward of
that town to Peterborough—the point at which so many Lines pass-

This railway connects the important town of Barnet with the
London and Birmingham and the Great Western Railways at Wels-
den, the Northern and Eastern and the Eastern Counties Railways
at Tottenham, and the proposed Direct London and Manchester and
the London and York Railways.
The line in its course unites the town of Barnet with Whet-
stone, Totteridge, Finchley, Hendon, Hornsey, Highgate, Tottenham,
&c., connecting those places with the various railways named, and
all those south of the River Thames, securing a very large passenger
traffic; conveying heavy goods and merchandise from the City and
Docks, also coal, fuel, and other commodities, to Barnet and the
other places, on and in the neighbourhood of the line ; whereby the de-
lay and excessive cost of conveyance through London will be avoided.
From these and other sources of profit an ample return to the share-
holders will necessarily arise.
Prospectuses will in a few days be published, with the names of the
Provisional Committee. In the meantime, applications for 'shares,

aynald,leiyns, and the journey,
are nearly
now rarely made, by coach, within twelve hours, may be performed,
on the railway, in two hours and a half.
It will provide facilities of access to all the great manufacturing,
mining, and agricultural districts of the north of England, to the Isle
of Man, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales; to Hamburgh, by connecting
Morecombe Bay and Fleetwood Harbour on the west coast with the
port of Hull on the east coast; to the lakes of Westmoreland and
Cumberland ; to Harrogate, celebrated for its unrivalled sulphur,
mineral, and chalybeate springs ; and to the important intermediate
districts between York and Lancaster, which abound with valuable
minerals, and raise vast quantities of live stock and agricultural pro-
duce. Many places near, the intended course of the line are known
to possess inexhaustible supplies of teal, iron, slate, limestone, free-
stone, and other usefid minerals, but these are now comparatively
unavailing, from the great cost of coals and carriage. The railway
will rapidly develop these sources ofprosperity, by introducing coals at
a low price, and providing cheap carriage for mineral produce of
every kind; it will also fbrnish a most desirable means of transit for
passengers and merchandise to and from every part
liveking-
dom, and a cheap conveyance for immense quantities of stock
and agricultural produce ftom the rural to the manufacturing
and mining districts. Many completed and projected railways will
intersect this line, and greatly facilitate traffic and
every direction . with the Directors of these railways, and of Various
others which have a station at York or Lancaster, the Committee
Will endeavour to make arrangements likely to prove mutually bene-
ficial, and they have much pleasure in stating that the landowners
along the line are extremely fttVoltrable to the undertaking, and con-
sider it will materially augment the Value of their possessions and
prove advantageous to the country and the shareholders.
It has been fluty ascertained that the proposed line present; hot
few engineering difficulties, and that, although it will pass through
some very hilly districts, it may be constructed along valleys, and
with favourable gradients throUghout nearly its entire course. The
Will be restricted by Act of Parliament
to the amount of their dtibdcriPtiells, and power will be applied for
in the Bill to allow interest at four per 'cent. per annum on all calls,
from the passing of the Act to the opening of the line.

The Committee of Management beg to inform those parties who
have applied for Shares in this undertaking that the allotment is now
completed, and that the letters of allotment will be issued on Saturday
next, the 6th instant. They regret that, in consequence of the
numerous applications, more delay has taken place than was at first
anticipated. All applicants not receiving letters of allotment must
not consider that their applications were overlooked, but that the
great demand for Shares over and above the number to be allotted
necessarily prevented their being granted.
The Committee are happy to be able to inform their Subscribers
that nearly the whole of the landowners along the line have promised
their support, and that they have also secured the co-operation of
many influential local gentlemen.
These advantages, coupled with the intrinsic merits of the under-
taking, lead the Committee confidently to anticipate a successful
result to their application to Parliament next session. The surveys-
are being proceeded with, and all the requisite measures are being
taken for a due compliance with the standing orders.

Originating at IliCeSter, by a junction with the Oxford and Cam-
bridge eline through Wolverton in connexion with the Eastern Coun-
ties, the South and Midlands Junction will afford, facility of inter-
course with the metropolis in one direction, with Stafford, the Pot-
teries, Birmingham, Liverpool, and Manchester in the other ; near
Woodstock, close to which the projected line will pass, the Oxford
and Rugby and Oxford and Worcester Railways cross, presenting
opportaniiies of entering the two great railway arteries of the king-
dom—the Great Western and the London and Birmingham, the for-
mer at Dudcot, the latter at Rugby.
Peerceeding to the manufacturing town of Witney, a line is crossed
communicating with the Stroudwater district of manufactures by the
Oxford and Cheltenham Railway, thence the projected line trends di-
rectly S.W., leaving Bampton to the east, until it reaches Lechlade,
a town seated at the efflux of the 'Thames and Severn navigation
with the River Thames, and where a considerable entrepot for mer-
chandise is established.
Keeping within easy distances of Farringdon, Cricklade, and nigh-
worth, it reaches Swindon, a rapidly improving vicinity. At this
principal station, where the broad gauge is crossed, the Gloucester
and Cheltenham line falls into the Great Western.
The intersection of the South and Midland Junction with the Great
Western at Swindon opens a most extensive and valuable oommuni-
catiOn with London eastward; Bristol, Bath, Gloucester, Chelten-
ham, Stroud, westward ; and, by the Gloucester and Aberystwith
projected line, with the whole of North and South Wales.
