gIirFUL LOSS of LIKE in GALWAY.
7,41 (Abridged from the Galway Indicator.)
.I.. The ' Gah6ay Vindicator furnishes the foll Owing
p4riticulars in addition to those which we have given
relative to this dreadful accident
, On Christmas morning, as has always been cus:-
lomary, in order to gratify the religious inclinations
of the inhabitants of the.town and suburbs of Galway,
the trembndous; mysteries of the altar were to have"
been celebrated' at six o'clock, in thq parish chapel of
€t. Nicholas. : At that hour, the gallOies and aisle of
this capacious temple were thronged-41flmost to sal&
itation by the thousands who attended—and, alih.otre
.
no danger whatever should have ben apprehended,
even were the numbers greater, a7„ery .was raised,'
'either through panic or malicious intent, that the.gal-
ltfies were falling. The instant it;' was heard, the.
entire mass of the human beings present,. rushed ,
,from their places in the wildest disorder—some raised
up the windows and precipitated thdmsel‘tes •into the
streets, when their braids were dashed*to pieces—
others pressed up to the railings before-the altar—.
leaped into ,the Sanctuary, and :almost skilled one
another in efforts to escape throfigh,:the' Sadristy,.
but the greater number rushed down iithe • stairs
leading to the galleries, and through7the doors
which communicated with . them, i'from the..
aisle—and at - the junction 'of these' iree pas-
sages most: of the ' deaths took plateak. Nothing
could exceed` the terror, the crush- on ithe occa-
sion. From the highest lobby on either side, down
to the p-,tincipal ,entrance, the entire were wedged
togethermen of the most. athletic frames.strangled
and suffoCated—wOMen dead in the arms'of their hus-
bands and relativesboys, whose boneSiwere broken in
every part, and menOvornen, and children trampled on,

. feral of our fellow-citizens exerted themselves to
tiektib thosein the most Clanger at the peril of their
pcf?ilT S—every assistance' Was afforded, but except

public eye, will have 'to be added to the melancholy
catalogue ; vtltl.wcdo not. I.:now, such '.sac. fl-, :ore-
-
ciritancy with which- the- - dead-Were carried otr, but
that the loss is at present far more extensive than can
at present be assigned. The physicians of the town,
especially Drs. Moran, Veitch, O'Grady, Colo-
han, Grey, Messrs:- Cummins and M'Swinney,
&c... and the officers of the 30th depot, con-
tributed much to lessen the dreadful calamity.
As to the origin of this terrific occurrence, we can,
at present, give no decided information. Various ru-
mours are afloat which require the most cautious in-
vestigation, and which, if proved to have any founda-
tion, in truth, must greatly tend to damage the good
understanding that has hitherto subsisted in Galway
between all classes of religionists. The inquest, how-
ever, will bring to light a great deal that now lies
obscure ; and until then, we shall postpone any other
remarks we may have to make, beyond assuring our
readers that nothing was broken on the galleries in
the chapel, except what wasearried off, 'bf the hand
railings, in the efforts of persons to preserve themselves
from being swept away in the general rush; and were
it, not that mass was celebrated at the rooms of the
,Parent Temperance Society, by the Very Rev. A.
Killeen, President, and at many of the chapels about
the same hour, it is probable that a greater number
would have met with an untimely grave.
We furnish a list of the dead, and those most se-
riously injured on the occasion as given by the police:

THE, INQUEST.

John Blakeney, Esq., Coroner ; John Ireland,
Esq., J.P., and Sylvanus Jones, Esq., at-
tended at the Town Court-house, at the hour of
twelve o'clock on St. Stephen's Day, to investigate
'the causes which led to the terrible disaster we have
already referred to.
A respectable Jury was then sworn, consisting of
sixteen persons, whom the Coroner addressed, stating
that it should be their chief endeavour to make out
who first raised the cry " that the galleries were fall-
ing." If it turns out, continued he (and I believe
and hope, for the sake of human nature, it will not
prove so), that any individual wantonly or wickedly
led to the untimely death of so many of his fellow-
creatures, the laws of our country will, in that event,
visit him with the utmost rigour. After you view
the several bodies of the deceased, and return here, I
shall adjourn this Court until Friday.
The Jury then proceeded to view the bodies, and on
their return the Coroner adjourned the Court until
eleven o'clock on Friday.

UNHEALTHINESS OF THE SEASON.—The returns
made to the Salisbury Registrar, for the current
quarter, of deaths which have taken place in the three
parishes of the city, exceed the usual average by about
50 per cent. !
FIRES AT LIVERrOOL.—The fire at Liverpool
which occurred on Thursday week, is the third great
fire which has happened in that town during the year.
The loss by this last accident in Parliament-street
and Greenland-street is stated to be not much less
than 60,0001. At a meeting of the agents of the se-
veral fire-offices, held on the 23d instant, the follow-
ing account of claims was considered accurate, leaving
still a large sum not covered by the policies :
Liverpool Office . Xlo,oooiNor wich Union £2,400
Wrest of England.. 10,0001 Alliance
Sun
Manchester 3,6oolLondonCorporation 500
Imperial
Phoenix
Globe
Atlas
York and London 3,000 . Total... £49,280
The result of this year is considered as more un-
favourable to the Assurance Companies in England
than they have ever experienced ; and it is stated
from the best authority, that collectively they have
not paid less during the year for losses by fire, than
the large sum of 1,000,0001. This sum of course
includes the great fire at Hamburgh, which caused
loss( s to the Engish offices amounting. to nearly half
that amount.

memoir. The author proceeded to trace, the diffusion of
the compensatory portion of the spark, or flash; he intro-
duced many illustrative experiments with the double
electroscope, and a modification of the discs. He sup-
ported his positions by cases of lateral accidents from
lightning rods, and by the testimony of the best elec-
tricians. He concluded by explaining the construction
of Mr. Harris's lightning rods for slips, and showed
how the application of his several positions proved
these to be the best protection that can be applied
to our navy, providing always that the vessels are
copper bottomed.

PRICE OF SUGAR.
EFFECTS OF AIONOPOLY.
. • LONDON, DEC. 31, 1842.
The following average prices of Brown or Musco-
vadoes British Sugars, exclusive of duty, were pub-
lished in the Gazette of last night :
West
India . - 345. 9d. per cwt
East India •
Mauritius. •-• ' • • .35 94
The average priCe -;:if the three kinds, jointly com-
puted, excluslie of duty, is 355. 102 d. per cwt.
The actual weights of sußr ii 0.41 ;on account of the
importers, in the week ending the 27th inst., accord-
ing to the returns made upon 'oath by the sugar bro-
kers, in compliance ,with ?the Act- of ',Parliament, and
on which weights the.tiliove prices are aomputed,-con.
sisted of 9,950 cwt. •West India, 8,568 CA. East Initit,
and 534 cwt Mauritius.
From the 26th ofOctobet to thea•th of December
we have from week to week 'published the weight of /41'
sugar sold; and the price exchisiVe of duty, paid for "
it—stating at the same time the amount would
have been had the consumers boughkiii,the cheapest
market—carrying forward :from date to date the ex-
cess of price, in order that -the. obnsurners may' be
exactly acquainted with the -pecuniarf effect the
sugar monopoly. has uii m
,their pockets. With •
view to render this account complete for the curmat •
quarter, we have referred', • and find that the sales of
British sugars in the -London Market were--from
r the 10th, to the 25th of October, 48,566 cwt.--esti-
mating the sales at the .auterts 'duringthe same
period to be 30,000 cwt., the' consumers, bought in
those fourteen days, 78,566 cwt. of ,the monopoly
sugar at 345. 6J. per •-ciit-; paying Consequently
141,4181. They might have obtained at that time
78,566 cwt. of foreign sugar, equally good, at I6s. 6d.
per cwt., amounting to 64,8161, and kept in their
purses 76,602/.
The weights of British Sugars sat from the 25th
October to the 20th inst., already published weekly in
The Sun, are together 499,974 cwt. These added to
78,566 cwt. shown above as sold from the 10th to the
25th October, give 578,540- being -the- total
weight for the current quarter. The excess of price
paid over and above the value of foreign sugar of
equal quality, and brought forward in The Sun each
Saturday from the sth November to the 24th Decem-
ber, amounts to 420,7421., which, being added to the
excess of price paid from the 10th to the 25th Octo-
ber, namely, 76,602/., gives a total excess of price of
497,344/. In ten weeks, therefore—from the 9th
October to the 20th December—the consumers bought
578,540 cwt. of British sugars, and paid for them a
price beyond their value in any Europern market the
enormous sum of 497,3441.

~~

We now proceed, as heretofore, to publish the
weights of British sugars sold by the importers in
he week ending the 27th instant. The sales in
Mincing-lane were 19,052 cwt.; assuming that the
weight of British sugars sold out of,London was to
the same extent as that sold in it, the consumers
bought in that period 38,104 cwt. of sugar, at
355. 10id. per cwt., amounting, in round numbers, to
68,332/. ; they might have bought, but for the mono-
poly law, 38,104 cwt. of foreign sugar, of a like
quality, at 18s. per cwt., amounting to 34,291/., ex-
hibiting a difference of 34,0411.—that is to say, the
nation, by buying foreign instead of the msnopoly
sugar, would have saved that amount in tie week
under consideration, which, being added to 497,3441.,
the amount before stated, gives 531,385/., the precise
value of the sugar monopoly on the sale of 616,644
cwt. of British sugars to the monopolists, and,the
needless cost thereoft, to the country, in eleven con-
secutive weeks.

Whenever the consumers have complained of this
excessive extortion, and sought as a fitting remedy
against it a relaxation of the sugar monopoly, the
Government of the day has invariably pleaded its in-
ability to make any alterations, in consequence of
some particular conditions contained in the Brazil
treaty. Did the conditions in this Brazilian treaty
require that, when the duty on sugar from the East
Indies was lowered to the rate imposed on that from
the West Indies, limits should be drawn around the
three Presidencies with such a niggard hand, that
sugar grown in India beyond them should be excluded
the British markets ? Did they require that these
Presidencies should cease to import sugar for their
own consumption (a privilege they had enjoyed from
the moment of their belonging to the British Crown
to that on which the reduction of duty was deter-
mined upon) as a condition that the sugar raised in
them might be shipped for the mother country, and
be received on the same terms as sugar from Ja-
maica ? Not a bit of it, there is absolutely nothing
in the Brazilian treaty, which can be twisted by the
utmost ingenuity, to such a meaning. Why, then,
were these restrictions on the East India sugar trade
imposed ? The answer to the question is plain
enough. They were knowingly impo.ied, in order to
maintain, in all its costly vigour, the vicious sugar
monopoly, conferred, time out of mind, upon those
very West Indians who had just before received
twenty millions sterling from the country. Let
these restrictions on East India commerce be with-
drawn forthwith, and we shall import from Bengal,
in 1843, 50,000 additional tons of sugar, and thereby
pacify the outcry about slave-raised sugar, for we
should then need none of it.

In the quarter ending 9th October, 1842, the duty
on sugar fell off, as compared against' the correspond-
ing quarter in 1841, 200,0001. When the current
quarter's account is made up on the sth of January
next, it will be seen that the loss on sugar duties is
considerably greater.

From many quarters the cheering intelligence
reaches us :that Sir Robert Peel's Government has
come to a resolution to take a decided step with refe-
rence to Church extension during the ensuing session
of Parliament. It would have been next to impossible
further to have postponed coming to some decision on
a matter of such importance ; but how the aid will be
supplied, or to what extent, is vet unknown.—
Church and State Gazette.
DRAYTON MANOR.—Sir Robert Peel and Lady
Peel and family are expected to leave early in the
ensuing month for Whitehall-gardens for the season.
Shortly after their arrival, a series of grand dinners
and official soirees will be given. at the Right Hon.
Baronet's mansion; and on Wednesday, the Ist of
February, the customary grand parliamentary dinner
will take place.
FIRE AT WEST BROAIWICII.—An alarming fire
broke out last week in the works of I3ethell and Co.,
gas distillers, West Bromwich, by which the whole of
the-cisterns and offices were destroyed. The fire at
one period presented an awful appearance ; about
7,000 gallons of creosote and 2,000 gallons of tar
were consumed. The property is said to be wholly
uninsured.—
