however confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable
impression on cur minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially
wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffering from Indis-
cretion, to profit by the advice contained In its pages."—Age and Argus.

remunerate on the whole distance would not only not re-
munerate but would be an absolute loss to the Company. As, for in.
stance, the same truck work and station expense would be required
for goods carried to a station 10 miles on the way as those carried
the whole length ; for that which was carried 10 miles the receipt
would be 75., while for that carried the whole length the receipt
would be 4'. The expense of fuel, of engineers' wages, and all the
other incidental charges, were proportionally increased. If two
stations were to be stopped at, two trucks, instead of one, would be
required. This principle had been heretofore adopted in the
charges on the Great Western Railway.
To an inquiry from Mr. R. H. Yorke, Mr. Law stated that the
principle was not applicable to passengers, because they occupied
less room, and there being a necessity for the stoppage of pas-
sengers at the different stations, a carriage was alone appropriated
to them, and could be thrown off' at any station.
To an inquiry from Mr. ENTwisLe, Mr. Saunders stated, that
he based his principle for a differential charge on the necessity to
divide the line into certain portions ; and the use of the locomotive
engines and of the trucks, was required by the stations, and not by
the absolute number of miles over which the engines and the trucks
travelled.

" We have received the following particulars from C. Pratt,
Esq., of Covert, Seneca county, New York, who was a passenger in
the Swallow at the time of the disaster :
•' On going into the ladies' cabin, after the vessel struck, he
found it full of ladies, and, seising his two daughters, he rushed
forward, in company with his grandson, leaving in the ladies'
cabin two ladies named Coffin, who were in company with an aged
lady from Troy, these being the only ladies whose names were
known to his daughters.
" Passing to the forward deck,he was met by some one who told
him to keep off the bows, as the boat was going down; and as he
turned to get to the hurricaue deck. with his daughters and grand-
son, he was met by a rush of water sweeping over the lower deck
from the stern, and turning round caught a glimpse of the two
Misses Coffin behind him, but on gaining the upper deck with his
charge, they were missing; search wit made for their bodies on
the lower deck, and one of them recovered, but quite dead. The
other could not be found. _ _

" As the boat sunk down, about 25 or 30, or more, took refuge
in the state room, believing that they would be safe, but they were
soon overwhelmed, some escaping on settees, chairs, and tables,
and floating away, while a few gained the hurricane deck, but it is
feared that several remained in the rooms and were drowned. Of
those who floated off (about 15 or 20) two gentlemen and a lady
were found clinging to a settee, about a mile and a half below the
wreck—all three alive, but greatly exhausted. They were taken
to Athens. Of the others who tried to save themselves by similar
means, nothing was known up to yesterday afternoon, and it is
feared they have perished.

be 130 to 140, as many are under the bridge, as well as
those who have been carried up the river.

MARKET NEWS.-(TIIIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.—MONDAY.
The past week's arrivals of English Wheat have been, the
time of year considered, moderately good, and of full average-
quality, while those of Barley, Malt, Oats, Beans, and Peas,
have been limited. Of Irish Oats the receipts have been far
from extensive; while from abroad the imports have been
rather limited. Fresh up, only a limited quantity of
home-grown Wheat was received; hence the stands
were rather scantily filled with samples of both red and
white. On the whole, the attendance of both town and coun-
try dealers was rather limited, yet the finest parcels were in
steady request, at prices about equal to those paid on Mon-
day last. In all other qualities comparatively little was
doing, yet the rates were mostly supported. At the clese
of business a total clearance was not effected.
We continue to receive very flattering accounts respecting
the young wheats from nearly every part of the country.
There was very little foreign Wheat on offer. Good sound
parcels free of duty were in fair request, but all other
kinds were a mere drug. In prices we can
notice no variation. Bonded Grain was almost
nominal. The Malting season being now nearly over,
indeed, many of the large insisters have already ceased work,
the Barley trade was very dull, at barely stationary
figures. In Malt, the supply of which was small, we have
very few sales to report; but when they were pressed, lower
rates were complied with. The Oat trade was steady at fully
last week's prices ; while Beans and Peas were quite as dear.
Flour and Seeds heavy, at late rates.

FOILEIGN.

A grand dinner to a hundred guests was given by the King at
the Tuileries, on Thursday, on the occasion of his Majesty's
fete. All the Ministers gave dinners on the occasion, and Mar-
shal Sebastiani did the honours of that allotted to the corps
diplomatique at the Foreign-office.
Guizot is much better, and his friends say, will be able to
resume office in a fortnight.

On Thursday eveniug tne loway Indiana were accommodated,
by order of the King, with an apartment in the portion of ti .e
Tuileries usually occupied by the Duke d'Aumale, in order that
they might hear the concert, and see the fire-works. Although
not accusterued to express astonishment at any sight, they were so
excited when the bouquet burst to their view, that they set up a
perfect yell of delight. In another room of the palace General
Tom Thumb was also, by the kindness of the King, a spectator of
the fireworks.

A letter from Lucerne, of the 28th ult., states, ":The envoys of
France, Austria, Prussia, Russia, England, Sardinia, and Bavaria,
on the 22d and 23d, paid visits to the Avoyer, to congratulate him
on the victory gained over the free corps. The Powers have all
agreed amongst themselves not to tolerate any revolutionary explo-
sions which may put the federal compact in danger."
Accounts from Switzerland state that the Grand Councils of
Soleure, Argau, and Berne have ratified the convention concluded
between their delegates and the Commissioners of Lucerne for the
liberation of the prisoners captured by the latter canton. The
ransom to be paid for such prisoners as do not belong to Lucerne
will amount to 20,0001.
According to a letter from Toulon, the Emperor of Morocco
was earnestly endeavouring to seize Abd.el-Kader. Sidi-Said, the
Emir's brother, who had heen sent to Fez in order to appease
the Emperor, had been killed there, some said, by Abd.er-Rha-
man's commands, while others stated him to have been put to death
by the populace.
The Dusseldorf Gazelle announces that the King and Queen of
Prussia intend visiting Silesia and East Prussia in person, in order
to distribute relief to those who have suffered from the floods.
A letter from St. Petersburgh, of the 13th ult, states that the
Emperor is shortly to make a tour of inspection in the interior.
This journey will extend to the provinces of New Russia, but not
to the Caucasus, as has been asserted. He is to be back about the
end of June.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 5, 1845,

Bills before it, and decide whether they would pass
either Bill, or neither of them, or both.—(Hear.)
Sir G. GREY hoped the Standing Orders Committee
would he spared the investigation of this subj,- et, and the
parties the expense of their doing so. He thought the
standing orders ought to be relaxed with respect to
Ireland.

Lord G. SOMERSET said that if his Right Hon.
Friend would propose that in future all railways in Ire-
land should be exempt from the ordeal of the Standing
Orders Committee, he would give the subject his con-
sideration.

Sir R. INGLIS never saw a case in which
compliance with the motion of his Right Hon. Friend
ought to be more resisted throughout than the
present. The statements of his Hon. Friend the Mem-
ber for Kendal, had placed the subject on a proper
footing and completely decided the question. If they
agreed to adopt the present proposition they would be
called upon to do so by every railway in the kingdom.
Strangers were then ordered to Nvitht:raw, and the
House divided, when there appeared—

Mr. BUSFEILD presented a petition from Bradford

The Southwark and Vauxhall Water Works Bill was

The Royal Naval School Bill, and the Warwick Rec-

Mr. MORRISON wished to know on what principle
the fares and rates on railways were regulated by the
Committees ?

Sir G. GREY said that there was a very great.diffi-
culty in fixing any principle on which the fares :and raets
of railways should be determined, but the Committee of
which he had the honour to be Chairman, had endea-
voured to ascertain the existing rules on several lines of
railway, and had founded their decisions thereon. Ile
would suggest, before passing the Bill before the House,
that it would be desirable that this point should be

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.

" We have received the following particulars from C. Pratt,
Esq., of Covert, Seneca county, New York, who was a passenger in
the Swallow at the time of the disaster:—.

" On acing into the ladies' cabin, after the vessel struck, he
found it full of ladies, and, seising his two daughters, he rushed
forward, in company with his grandson, leaving in the ladies'
cabin two ladies named Collin, who were in company with an aged
lady from Troy, these being the only ladies whose names were
known to his daughters.

" Passing to the forward deck, he was met by some one who told
him to keep off the bows, as the boat was going down; and as he
turned to get to the hurricaue deck. with his daughters and grand-
son, he was met by a rush of water sweeping over the lower deck
from the stern, and turning round caught a glimpse of the two
Misses Coffin behind him, but on gaining the upper deck with his
charge, they were missing; search was made for their bodies on
the low. r deek, and one of them recovered, but quite dead. The
other could not be found.

" As the boat sunk down, about 25 or 30, or more, took refuge
in the state room, believing that they would be safe, but they were
soon overwhelmed, some escaping on settees, chairs, and tables,
and floating away, while a few gained the hurricane deck, but it is
feared that several remained in the rooms and were drowned. Of
those who floated off (about 15 or 20) two gentlemen and a lady
were found clinging to a settee, about a mile and a half below the
wreck—all three alive, but greatly exhausted. They were taken
to Athens. Of the others who tried to save themselves by similar
means, nothing was known up to yesterday afternoon, and it is
feared they have perished.

" Passengers lost or missing—The following are the lost and

" Missing—Mrs. Conklin, Miss Coffin, of Troy; Mrs. Gilson,
and two young ladies, from Albany, whose brother was at the
wreck, anxiously searching for their bodies ; Mrs. Walker, of New
York; Mrs. French, and Mrs. Lambert."
