MURDER AT CAMBERWELL.

A chargo of murder, attended with very extraordinary
circumstances, was investigated on Friday evening, at the
vestry room, Camberwell, before Mr. Sergeant SCRIVEN
and JOHN WOOLLEY, Esq., magistrates fur the county of
Surrey. It appeared in evidence, that JAMES luoNS, the
person charged, lived as footman in the family of
LaNctort, of Herne-kill. At about six o'clock on the
evening of Friday, NATPIANIEL JONES and HARRIET FISK,
also servants of Mr. LANGTON, were in the dairy, when
they heard the report of tire-arms in the kitchen, which
was about five yards distant. On hastening to the spot,
they found the housemaid, SusAN FROGGAT, lying on the
ground severely wounded in the head, from which wounds
she shortly afterwards expired. The prisoner Irtoris was
standing by her with a pistol in his hand, which had re-
cently been fired off. On being questioned, Inoris ad-
mitted that he had done the deed, but assigned no cause for
it. They had had a trifling quarrel on the same evening,
in the course Of which he hid been heard to say that if she
got him turned out of his situation, he would blow her
brains nut ; but in reply to that threat the unfortunate gill
observed that it was not her intention to do any such thing.
After this, conversation' between them, the prisoner left the
kitchen and went up stairs, but returned in a few minutes,
when he asked the deceasod if she had any thing to say
against hin►. She said she had not, •and he then washed
his hands, and sat down at the table. The cook was with
them at the time, but left the kitchen to go to the dairy,
when she heard the pistol fired as first mentioned. Mr.
LANcroN, who was examined, was from home at the time
of the murder, but said that the pistol with which it was
committed belonged to him. He kept it usually in his
room unloaded, but he had powder and ball under lock and
key in the same room. IRONS was taken into custody, and
confessed to the constable who apprehended him that he
had shot the deceased, and told him that the skin of his
fore-finger had been grazed by the recoil of the pistol,
which he showed hiss. He was stated by one of the wit-
nesees to he in liquor at the time he committed the fatal
act. The prisoner declined making any reply to the evi-
dence adduced, and was folly committed to Horsentonger-
lane prison for trial.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT: SERIOUS

LOSS OF LIVES.

(From the Manchester Gazette.)
On Thursday, at one o'clock, one of the most de-
plorable accidents that has occurred in this neigh-
bourhood for many years took place at the wharf of
the New Quay Company. A new vessel belonging
to that company was to be launched, with her mast,
and full rigged : numbers of people were present,
and we understand that about two hundred persons
went on board, amongst them two of the daughters
of Mr. Grime, the New Quay CompanY's mana-
ger. The preparations being concluded, the vessel
was let go, and bounded away into the river, amidst
the cheers of those on board, and the bYstanders
who had assembled to witness the launch. At first,
on going into the water, the vessel appeared to lie a
little to one side, -but not so much as to cause any
alarm, but with the impetus received by descending
from the stocks she keeled, and on striking against
the opposite bank, was in a moment upset. The
whole of the persons on deck, and a few who were
climbing upon the rigging, were precipitated into the
river. The accident was proclaimed to a consider-
able distance from the place, by a terrific shriek from
the assembled crowds on both sides of the river.

All the small boats that could be got were instantly
brought to the spot, and those who were floating
were rescued; so many clung to one boat that it
was very nearly, sunk. Three or four men, two of
them, we understand, who had been on the deck,
kept swimming about, and now and then diving and
bringing as many to the shore as they could ; and
in this way a great many were saved. Boat-hooks
and drags were thedmade use of, and several others
were got out, apparently lifeless, and laid on the
banks in sight of the agonized multitude. Notice
was immediately sent to man); of the surgeons, and
some of them Were soon on die 'spot, and every ex-
ertion was made use of to restore the sufferers to
life. In several instances. they. were successful, but
there were many cases in which their utmost efforts
were unavailing. Those who were tak-en oat on the
Manchester side of • the -river were carried into a
warehouse belonging to the New Quay Company ;
those taken out on the Salford side were laid on the
bank till instructions were_ given where they should
be carried to; some of them were afterwards carried
to the Britannia Inn-; some to the King's Arms;
and two 'to the Lying-in Hospital, both of whom,
Mr. K. Wood was so successful as to restore.—
Aniongst the surgeons who came to the New Quay
warehouse, and who. were :all indefatigable in their
exertions, we observed Messrs.Radford, Basnet, Jor-
dan, Blundestone, Thompstone,Bradley,Barton, and
several surgeons' pnpils, as alsoDr.Kay, at whose sug-
gestion an attempt was made,as a last effort,torestore a
young man by transfusion of blood from the arteries
of a dog. Dr. 'Corbett was also there, but, on find-
ing plenty of assistance on this side, immediately has-
tened to the other side, where many more persons
were taken out,.and were still without any effectual
aid. Different attempts were made to recover the
unfortunate sufferers. In some cases, after the use
of the hot-bath, an incision was made into the wind-
pipe, and a pair. of bellows applied in- order to inflate
the lungs and this was in two instances successful.
No individual' was left till after there remained not
the slightest hope of recovery, and indeed efforts
were continued long after hope bad fled. We have,
however, to add, that there is still a long list of
sufferers, there being no fewer than 34 persons
awaiting the coroner's inquest, while there are still
inquiries for persons whose fate is not ascertained.
All the- bodies taken out-have been claimed by their
relatives.
The Misses Grime who stood at the bow of the
vessel, were' of course precipitated into the water,
near to the Salford side, but were shortly rescued
froma watery grave. About five o'clock the vessel
was righted, and a little girl was found under it.
When the accident was made known in the town'
the scene at the New Quay became heart-rending.
One poor old man was going about looking very
anxiously for his son, and on being asked if he were
one of those (twelve who lay in the New Quay
warehouse,) said, really he, was not sure, the shock
had so stupified him. At the Britannia, a man
whose wife lay among the dead, after every attemptto
restore her had for nearly two hours been persevered
in, :continued long after his own exertions in rub-
bing the body, with a most melancholy pertinacity of
purpose, without hope, but yet not daring to desist.
The sight of the dead bodies was the most appalling
we ever witnessed.
The toml number of deaths, as far as we could
learn list night, is 34. There were 12 bodies in
the warehouse of the New Quay Company, 16 at
the Britannia Inn, and 6 at the King's Arms, Old-
field-road. We did hear that several bodies had
been carried to their own homes. The following are
the names of some' of the sufferers :
James Cosgtove, Samuel Bradshaw, Richard Walker,
Frederick Worrall, James Kelly, Joseph Findlay, John
Butterworth, . James Gordon, Diana Pennington, Elisa
Bothwell, Thomas Connelly, • William Irlam, John Atkin-
son, Frederick Brereton; Henry Hargreaves, Ann Whar-
ton, James Minato, Theresa Healey, Elizabeth Jones,
Elizabeth-Robinson, Ellen Shore, Mary Burns, Elizabeth
Bradshaw, Thomas Forbes, Edward Warren, William
Hough, Joseph Fryer, Joseph Calvert, Joseph Dutton,
James Dearden, Daniel Sunsner. Three others not owned.
An accident very similar to this took place at
Glasgow, 10 or 12-years ago. About 100 persons
were on the deck di canal packet-boat. A drunken
man was going on board; but -fell from the plank
into the water. The people on deck ran to see him,
the boat keeled, and they.were all thrown into the
water; though the boat was at the time it was over-
Set within two yards of the landing-place, 72 persons
were drowned. They were taken out in masses of
five or six clinging closely to each other.
Gazette-Office, Saturday, Two o'Clock.
Several boats are now, and have been during the
whole of the forenoon, employed in , dragging the
river, and three additional bodies, those of a man
and two boys ;have been got out, making the whole
number of persons, drowned 37. There are still
several missing. The Coroner's jury is now sitting
--they can, 'of course, come only to one conclusion.
(FURTHER PARTICULARS.—FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
MANCIMSTER.' SATURDAY NIGHT,--In addition
to the facts that have already been published, I have
the painful task of stating that six more bodies have
been extracted from their- watery grave, and it is
ascertained that 11 more are missing. I have just
left a gentleman who witnessed the sad catastrophe;
'his description is most horrifying, and his belief is,
,that a far greater number than has been already
stated were on board at the time the vessel filled.—
;Friends and relatives 'still remain on the spot, making
,rithe most anxious inquiries, and such are their nova-
[peri, that it is impossible to form a correct opinion
aito the real extent of the loss of lives. By some,
it is said that there were not less than 400 persons
in the vessel at the time she went off the slip. At
the present time there has been near 50 bodies
(dead) taken out of the water.
~._ :

By accounts last night from Manchester' we learn
that, up to one o'clock on Saturday, 47 bodies in
all had been taken out of the river, dead.

A Member of a certain Assembly, who is in
the habit of continually engaging the Speaker in private
conversation, has acquired throughout the Assembly the

The following is the form of Mr. BROUGHANI'S
motion as finally agreed to ; that an humble addreas he pre-
sented to his MAJEsTv, respectfully requesting that leis
MAJESTY may be pleased to take such measures as may
seem most expedient for the purpose of causing due inquiry
to be made into the origin, progress, and termination of
actions in the superior Courts of Common Law in this
country, and matters connected therewith, and into the
state of the law regarding the transfer of real property."

TRIESTE, FEB. 18.—The day before yesterday a
transport arrived here with the baggage of M. deßi-
beaupierre, and the Russian frigate which has the
Ambassador himself on board was seen off the coast,
but in consequence of orders from his Court, which
were sent to him from this place, he has put back' to
Corfu.
The Captain of a vessel, which has put, into this
port under the Greek flag, reports that he was in-
formed, on the 19th of January, by two fishing-boats
is the vicinity of Napoli di Romania, that, Count
Capo; d'lstria had arrived there. Other accounts,
received by sea, say that the Count arrived on the
22d of January at Egina. His effects had been On-
veyed by an Austrian vessel from Marseilles to '
Egina.
Admiral de Rigny was still at Vourla on the 31st
of December, and Commodore Hamilton at Smyrna.
Three members of the legislative body of Greece I
have been on board a French brig of war to wait on
Admiral de Rigny, to enter into a negotiation with
him respecting a sum of 70,000 talaris, which he
claims for indemnities to French merchants.
PARIS, FEB. 29.—The revolutionary journals
triumph because no bureau has nominated Deputies
to compose the committee whose office is to main.
tain the dignity of the Chamber against the attacks
of the public journals. Such a committee would in
fact be very useless, when the most sacred interests
are abandoned to the unbridled licentiousness, the
irruption of which seems now to. be accomplished.
Before the. Chamber can think of itself, it must think
of the throne and the country.
The Court of Cessation decided on the 4th of
February that the law ofi the Bth of Sept. 1807,
which fixes the legal rate of interest, is not applica-
ble to discount, nor.to a banker's commision, which
may be fixed at the op4On of the parties. • •
