FOUNDERING OF TWO EMIGRANT SHIPS.
The late arriNls from St. John's, Newfoundland, fur-
nish us with the particulars of the wreck of two emi-
grant ships, one—the Rosebank, from Belfast—having
nearly 300 emigrants on board; and the Rhydiol, of
Abwrystwith, in Wales; both of which occurred during
the fearful weather in the early part of May last. The
Rosebank was a large ship, of 600 tons, and besides the
emigrants, who principally consisted of agricultural la-
bourers with their wives and families, there were on
board outfits for two vessels at Quebec, which port she
intended to put into. The letters received state that she
was lost amongst a mass of icebergs off the coast of
Scalterie, and that providentially the whole of the pas-
sengers (with the exception of one man) and the ship's
company, were saved. The party drowned was a man of
the name of Finnis, who, in getting into the boat, fell
overboard, and was not seen after. It is not stated whe-
ther the emigrants saved anything belonging to them; we
fear they did not.
The Rhydiol was lost on Sunday, the 11th of May, in
lat. 47 30 north, lon. 46 30 west, the vessel being on a
passage to Quebec with emigrants. The captain, Mr.
Riddell's description of the loss to the owners at
Aberystwith, are as follows :—After leaving home, we
proceeded en the passage as usual ; experienced very
heavy weather all the time up to Friday, the 9tb of
May, when it came on to blow nearly a hurricane from
the S.W., and in the course of the night came in con-
tact with a quantity of ice. During the following morn-
ing it became thicker—so much so, that at times it en-
tirely impeded the vessel's way, and jammed her up.
Perceiving it to be dangerous, we tried to get back again
out of its course but found it impossible, and in a few
hours several holes were stove in the starboard bow, also
two in the larboard bow, all of which we succeeded in
stopping.
About two o'clock on Sunday, the 11th, however, the
ice crushed a large piece out of the ship's side, which
could not be stopped, consequently there was no alter-
native but to prepare the boats, w hich was done in as
quiet a manner as if there was nothing the matter, the
passengers keeping the pumps going all the while. By
the time the boats had been got overboard, and the
women and children placed safely in them, with some
water and provisions, the ship's hold was nearly
full of water. In another five minutes it had reached
up to the hold beams, when we considered it unsafe to
remain longer, and then pushed off to windward, out of
the way of the vessel, and lay there about ten minutes,
when she settled down head foremost, aid in less
than two minntes afterwards the only thing
visible was the flag of the ensign at the peak, which
instantly disappeared, and we were left alone on the sur-
face of the ocean in the boats, surrounded with heavy

ice, as we could see clear water close to us, and, succeed-
ing in doing so, laid on the oars all night, with the boats
fastened together with a line. At day-break got a mast

of meeting with some vessel, which luckily proved the
case, fin• we met with the brig Margaret Park, of St.
John's, Newfoundland, with passengers from New Ross
(Waterford), on board of which we were taken and
treated with the greatest kindness. The emigrants lost
everything they possessed as well as ourselves. It is
expected they will be forwarded on to Quebec. The

BRITISH HEROISM SCORNED
AND NEGLECTED.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sre,—The ready assent of the Minister to Mr. Hume's
proposition of a national pecuniary mark of approval of
the services of Sir Henry Pottinger, and the favour v ith
which it was received by the House of Commons, point
out this favourable disposition of Hon. Members as the
most befitting possible occasion for making reference to
the extraordinary, almost incredible neglect of a man,
whose heroic conduct challenges comparison with the
most meritorious acts to be found in the military annals
of any country—presenting an almost unexampled in-
stance of self-devotion to his country, and her fair fame
(which, but for him, had been most foully stained), un-
der the most trying conceivable circumstances, and what
a gallant soldier ought to be ; therefore, by consequence,
affe.ding a glorious model for emulation on future simi-
lar trials—provided always, that it be justly, generously,
and nationally appreciated.
I remember some years since to have read an account
of this affair in the " United Service Journal," subse-
quently I met the hero at the house of a mutual friend,
and now, after the lapse of some twelve or fourteen
years, I learn that he still exists (and barely so), but
that no substantial mark of approbation has been vouch-
safed for his surpassing merit.
I have been at some pains to ascertain the truth of
the following condensed statement, which may be relied
on as substantially correct, and therefore I hope worthy
of insertion in your columns, as a case in which the true
interests of our country, and the morals of its army, are
alike intimately involved :
On the Continent never have I detailed the case, and
its most saddening issue, that it has not evoked a burst of
admiration, of surprise, of sympathy, and, I am com-
pelled to add, of contemptuous execration of our boasted
feudal institutions, mixed with wonder at the success of
our arms. " Mon diet!, est it possible ? Quel infame !
C'est dans cette fa.con done qu'on recompense vos
braves! Est-ce pour eels que Messrs. les Anglais se bat-
tent si bien ? Je rends grace it Dieu que je ne suis pas
votre compatriote !" Such were the ordinary ejacula
tions. Our Gallic neighbours tell of "la decoration de
la Legion d'Honneur," that would have been conferred
" sur l'instant," as well as promotion, pension, favour,
" sous l'Empire," and also now under Louis Philippe.
At Berlin, this story has confirmed many in their pre-
ference of the regime of a single despot to aristocratic
domination. " This is the man," say they, " whom our
gooi Kine would delight to honour." At Vienna, " our
Metternich is just, and never unmindful of merit!" was
the Austrian exclamation—" he would have felt proud to
direct the Emperor's notice to this man !" Thus, all men
think and feel abroad, and how he seems to be the
victim of neglect in free and affluent Britain, excites
surprise in generous and lofty minds.
The following is the case so strangely overlooked for
nearly thirty years:—
The transport, Arch-Duke Charles, laden with troops
(in all 200 souls, including women, and children, and the
mew), sailed from Quebec for Nova Scotia, and at mid-
night of the Ist of June, 1816, struck on a sunken rock
when di that coast, in weather most impetuous, and fog
intense. All hope of getting off soon vanished ; a
%%reek the ship was sure to be. The swimmers—they
who oft had boasted their amphibious powers, were sum-
moned now, in vain, to lend their aid—the beating of a
distant surge giving some hope that land was not far off.
One volunteer alone, from all those paralyzed and of
fighting men, offered to explore what could
not be discerned, and that one was Captain, then Lieut.
Stewart. With a line around his body, and breakers
for his goal—so oft the seaman's terror, now
his hope, he plunged into the mountain flood, with
which, long buffetting, he, at length, was dashed
rock,dying

him to its briny.bosom, whom the succeeding one hurled
back again. For four successive times he thus was made
the sport of the engulphing element ; at length a wave
another with
wave
more friendly and gigantic than the rest (and far more
pitying than his country since), washed him beyond the
fetch of its antagonist fellow waves, stunned, shattered,
bruised, exhaused—in part insensible, yet with a vague
consciousness of the fearful horrors of that dreadful night,
he lay as dead, and like a thing inanimate, under the
re-action of his lusty efforts to escape from death. How
long entranced in this mute dream of death ho could not
tell ! but rising as from a sleep refreshed, though sorely
bruised, he fixed the rope to a projecting broken rock,
and aiming in the dark to coil it round, down was he pre-
cipitated once more to the foaming flood beneath. Again
the same great struggle was to be renewed, for at such
juncture no brave man has time to parley
with despair,
so desperate is the conflict for existence. How he came
once more to be on shore found no place in his memory
then, nor since ; yet who can doubt that it is chronicled
on high, his erranu being hallowed by its aim to be the
saviour of his country's sons ? To sum up all, by help
of that same rope (at break of dawn this gallant soldier
signalling that it was fast), the living cargo of that hap-
less ship egain trod terra firma, and she soon after sank
beeore their eyes. Yet, thus to be upon a barrels rock,
exposed away from land—a rock submerged with every
wind, save that which just then blew, gave but a respite
from a dreaded death—and at the return of tide nothing
else was looked for. A council then was called ; the
valiant Colonel's proposition was (there being one small
boat), that he and all the officers should first seek land,
and then send succour to the men abandoned. To this
but one dissenting junior voice was heard, which was
yourg Stewart's; and when despair and shame, contempt
and anger, fired the men at a suggestion so unworthy, be
quelled the tumult, and enforced obedience.
The first boat's freight comprised the chief, his wife,
and some few more participant in his fears.
The third and last time came the minim bark for the
Adjutant and Lieutenant Stewart ; the former went, not
so the latter. "It neve: Lail be said," exclaimed this
hero, " that two hundred British soldiers perished de-
serted, without one officer to share their fate. Go, tell
your Colonel that though death be all but certain, yet
here will I perish with my fellow soldiers." The friendly
wind, by Heaven's decree, continued still to blow for two
days longer, when a merchant vessel sailing by was
hailed ; the simultaneous shout was heard, and all hands
saved.
Now, for this exploit of saving British lives, he was
entitled to a stated salvage, which surely in a cause so
holy, and withal so bravely earned, no length of time
can cancel or diminish ; but, in the dauntless message to
his chief, and constancy to the forsaken men when death
seemed certain, there was a thousand times more merit,
for which uo medal, thanks, reward, promotion, pension,
could be given without court-martial on the recreant
chief: A reward, indeed an ample one, has been be-
stowed, but it was by proxy ; for, strange to say, by an
inversion scarcely credible, the Colonel was promoted—
was named a Governor and substitute of our most vir-
tuous Queen.
Such are the prominent features of this case. There
is not a man amongst us who is not herein affected and
afflicted ; but most of all concerned is that most gallant
band, the British Beyards—" ces preux chevaliers, sans
peur et sans reproche"—on whose profession a foul
stigma rests, and must remain until their brother soldier,
nut grudgingly, but as becomes a nation, is requited.
I have full confidence there are noble-minded men in
Parliament will see to this, and will demand a strict In-
quiry of this case ; and if the issue prove what is here
advanced (as surely it will be, if evidence be not sup-
pressed), then let the hero's name along with Pottinger 's
be honottred, elnd meet like favour for his worthy deeds.

LITERATURE.

HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF
DUBLIN. By W. B. Sarsfield Taylor, A.M., 6-c.,
One Vol., Bvo.

A vast deal of writing, good, indifferent, and bad,
has been published during some centuries, about the
soil, climate, and physical productions of Ireland;
on the customs, habits, and manners of its inhabitants
—their religious and political differences—the state
of their trade, manufactures, and commerce, in
various historical and statistical forms—but we are
not aware of any work to convey a clear and full
account of the state of intellectual cultivation in that
country, previous to the volume now under consider-
ation. Now, therefore, for the first time, has been
produced before the British people a description of
that national establishment, wherein the intellectual
power of the Irish people can be developed in its
various degrees, called into active existence, and
prepared for the various learned professions or to
adorn the noble and senatorial ranks of life.

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)
The re
see cent startling disclosures of turf doings, instead of injuring
er„l4'°'Pects of racing, seem to have materially benefited it. The

from the increased confidence which the members

viz :It? es like Goodwood and Liverpool are making in importance,
Tairei:at the various races at those places arc introduced now at
Peri, '411',, where formerly business was almost confined to the
Y, Oaks, and St. Leger.

It to say, that, with the exception of the Derby, for which it
e" well known he was made safe, and the Ascot Vase, in which
was in close attendance on Sweetmeat, he has won without the
il',lehtest difficulty every race he went for. As for the wei4ht upon
him, I think it is a perfectly fair one, and I should recommend my
readers to back him, since, if he does not win, he is sure to be a
iat better favourite before starting, and they will consequently be
en elated to hedge their money without difficulty. Pine-apple, 5

as he carries 211 b. less than he did at Hampton, where Misdeal,
ar ith an allowance of 71b., beat him a length, he should run very
forward. Pythia, 3 yrs, sst.-3lb , has friends who will take 17 to

To educated persons only can a work of this kind
possess any high interest, foe the mass of ordinary
readers require higher-flavoured dishes in the book
way than the history of any University can possibly
possess. As very profitable speculations, therefore,
such works are rarely brought forward, but when
such works afford sufficient proofs that they contain
all the genuine facts which are required for public
information, which can possibly be obtained, and
when such information has been arranged in due
chronological order, placed clearly, without any con-
fusion of terms or ideas, before its readers, then the
work is looked upon with favour by the well-informed
classes, as one more useful than ornamental, and from
their being placed in the utility class, such works
often become standards of reference for future gene-
rations, long after their gayer contemporaries have
sunk into forgetfulness.
In the instance before us, it is quite evident that
the author has not spared either time, labour, or ex-
pense, in collecting and arranging the great body of
facts which he must have been some years in ac-
quiring.
The work is dedicated " to the educated classes of
Great Britain arid Ireland," and is—as the author
states—intended to embrace all the topics of interest
connected with the only university of Ireland. For
besides an account of the foundation, and a narrative
of the earlier circumstances of its history—it contains
copious biographical sketches of the prelates, states-
men, and other persons, eminent for piety and learn-
ing, or as poets, historians, and orators—who have
been educated within its walls, together with a re-
g ular succession of its provosts (governors) and all
the fellows seriatim to the present year—with notices
of the benefactions bestowed upon this institution to
this time.

The volume is also illustrated with coloured en-
gravings of the academic costumes—and vignette
views from drawings made on the spot, in which the
architecture and scenery of the college are accurately
represented—from these it would appear, that this
university is of great extent, and possesses fair claims
to architectural elegance.
The last, or biographical division of the work af-
fords good evidence, that much cultivated talent has
emanated from this seminary of classical and scientific
learning—and has done the Church and State good
service in every department, whether diplomatic,
ecclesiastical, civil, or military.
The author does not pay his cotut to any party, but
rather points out their errz;rs in a plain, intelligible
manner; be is evi(.l.ntly most anxious to assist in
bringing abo a community of interests and good
feeling Oetween the British and Irish people which,

and honest policy on the part of our Government to
accomplish, and he clearly states that the disunion,
discontents, and turbulence of the lower orders in
Ireland are caused by the bad system of government
with which English politicians began to rule that
country, and which our Ministries have adopted in
succession to the present day, with scarcely any altera-
tion in the principle, although somewhat modified
in the practice. The work altogether gives the best
history we have yet seen of Trinity College, and at
the present time it will be read with deep interest,
for it points out the existing regulations of that
celebrated university, and the benefits which it has
conferred on a certain portion of the community, as if
to guide the Government to a more comprehensive
system of education, which shall not only teach the
people well, but hold out academical honours which
may distinguish the successful candidates for life.

H UNtiERF ORD SUSPENSION
BRIDGE.
The Hungerford Bridge is now the ninth structure
connecting the two parts of the metropolis on either
bank of the Thames—the Vauxhall-bridge being the
extreme western, and the Thames Tunnel the extreme
eastern of this noble range of public works, unparalleled
for their magnificence throughout the. world. The fol-
lowing account is extracted from a paper read by Mr.
Cowper before the Royal Institution:—
" This bridge is for foot passengers only: it consists of
four broad chains, viz., two chains, one above the other,
on each side of the platform; each chain consists of ten
and eleven links alternately, and near the piers of eleven
and twelve. This increased strength is to Meet the in-
creased strain which takes place near the piers. The
chain of the Menai bridge is only five links wide, and
the chain of the Hammersmith only six links wide ; but
the great breadth of the Hungerford chain (viz. eleven
links, or about two feet) gives them great power to re-
sist the effects of the wind, and thus prevent vibration.
Two brick towers, or campaniles, in the Italian style, are
built in the river, over which the chains are carried,
forming thus a central and two side spans.
The two piers are in height ...
The central span between the piers (being
110 feet wider than the Menai Bridge). 676 i feet.
The length between the abutments ... 1,352} feet.
Deflection of the chain ... ... 50 feet.
Length of each link (7in. wide, lin. thick) 24 feet.
Weight of each link ... 5i cwt.
(The connecting pins are 4i inches diameter.)
The whole number of links „. 2,600
Their weight ... ... 715 tons.
The number of links in the centre span... 352
Their weight ... 352 tons.
Width of the platform ... ... 14 feet.
Height above high water at the centre of

near the piers ... ... 28i- feet.
(Giving a rise of four feet in the centre.
This gives additional height for the
river traffic, and produces a graceful
curve, and..prevents any appearance of
swagging.)
The-section of the chains at the centre of

80 feet.

centre Van is ••• ... 296 sq. in,
near the piers ••• ... 312 sq. in.
" A square inch of iron breaks with 27 or 29 tons,
but 17i tons is taken as the impairing weight, i. e. the
weight at which it begins to stretch; we have therefore,
for the weight the bridge will actually hear-
-296 multiplied by 17i tons, equal to 5,180 tons, while
296 multipled by 5 tons, equal to 1,480 tons,
is the greatest load that can be put upon it. This is
taking a crowd standing close together to be 100 lbs. per
square foot. The entire weight of the chain, the plat-
form, and a full load upon it, would make a load of about
1,000 tons on each pier, being about 81 tons on each
square foot of brickwork, or not gait° 1 cwt. on each
square inch.

The chains are attached to large wrought-iron
vertical plates at the summits of the piers; these plates
are firmly bolted together, and also to a strong hori-
zontal plate—the whole forming what is called a saddle.
The saddle is not fixed to the pier, but refits on fifty
friction rollers, these resting on a thick_iron—plate, which
is supported by a solid mass of iron and timber girders.
The pier itself, being pierced with arches, may be con-
sidered to consist of four columns of brickwork : the
girders, therefore, are so arranged, that no weight is
thrown on the arches, the whole weight restir.g on the
columns. The saddle is capable of moving eighteen
inches each way, equal to three feet entire motion ; so
that if either span were crowded, the chains would ad-
just themselves, and the strain be still perpendicular
upon the piers, and have no tendency to pull the pier
over. The method of putting up the chains was thus:—
Two sets of wire ropes, each consisting of three ropes,
were hung from abutment to abutment over the piers,
in the exact situation the chains were to occupy,—these
scaffold ropes, as they may be called, being distant from
each other equal to the length of the connecting pin. A
few feet above the scaffold ropes, two other ropes were
hung in like manner; on these traversed two light
boxes, very much resembling a carpenter's bench turned
topsy-turvy. These cradles, as they are called, were
connected together, and contained two windlasses, like
those over a common well; these cradles held the work-
men. A barge containing the links was moored under
the cradles: four men in the cradles hauled up a link;
and whey they had raised it above the scaffold ropes, the
connecting pin was put through, and the pin being al-
lowed to rest on the scaffold ropes, of course supported
the link. The cradles were then moved forward, and
two links joined to the single link, then one joined to
the two; the chain consisting thus, in the first instance,
of alternately two and one links. When this two-and-
one-link was completed, the scaffold ropes were not re-
quired, the two-and-one-link chain forming, as it were,
a scaffold for the rest of the links; and thus was this
bridge erected without any scaffolding but these few
ropes, and without the slightest impediment to the navi-
gation, and without a single accident. The cost was—

THE WEATHER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—You will oblige a lover of meteorological
search by publishing a few remarks on the weather
during the present summer.
The principle upon which my conclusions are founded
is simply one of comparison, connected with certain an-
gular distances formed by the planets and our earth,
during seasons of peculiar tendency, and upon the in-
ference that like causes will produce similar results, the
following deductions were drawn for Cle month of June,
and published in the Cheltenham papers in May last:—
June, to the 10th of the month, will be generally cold
for the season, from thence to the 21st the heat would
increase considerably, from the 21st to the end of the
month considerably colder, and the results are so far cor-
responding with this judgment.
July, from the 2d to the 10th, as the Sun will be in
aspect to Mars, the heat will again increase, though no:
so powerfully as experienced during the interim from
the 10th to the 21st of June, from the 10th and during
the month seasonable July weather will prevail.
August, to the 7th day, will be rather cool for the
season, but from the 7th to the 21st will be the
greate,t degree of summer heat, when the heat will be of
that peculiar burning power so trying to the constitu-
tion of mankind ; th cause to which I would attribute
this intense heat will be the retrograde posture of the
planet Mars, forming an angle of 180 degrees with the
Sun, when in his nearest position to the earth. Comets
are said to increase the heat on their approach to our
system, and to produce cold on their recession, but
having experienced similar heat to the present season,
when comets have not appeared (but not so without the
concurring testimony of the planetary orbs), renders
conclusions from the former doubtful.

September, also, promises flue harvest weather; the
months of August a!:(1 September, as stated in May last
in the Cheltenham papers, would be splendid for the
harvest, tending to dry and fine weather. On this com-
parative system it is correct to state the drought of four
months' cont►nuance was predicted in April, 1844, to
last till the August following, and in June, 1844, the
frost for winter 1815 was predicted to be such an one
certainly not experienced since the year 1814—the re-
sult proved these judgments to be correct.
I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
G. T. F. SMITH.
