Viscount Exmoor!' arrived in town yesterday morn-
ing, and had a long conference with Viscount MEL-
vitax, and !he Lords of the Admiralty.
The difficulty of obtaining correctly the number
and names of the unfortunate sufferers in the late
melancholy accident at the Southwark Bridge, has
prevented their names being mentioned until now.
Every inquiry has since been made, and the subjoined
list has been made out. It is supposed there are two
more; but neither their names, nor arvr satisfactory
account of their having been in the boat at the time,
has at yet transpired. Directions have been given to
see those.who have been found decently buried, and
the parish indemnified for the expense. To the re-
mainder, when found, similar attention will be paid,,
and pecuniary relief granted to their distressed families:

when it was unanim susly agreed to re-elect Mr GREAT,
who was going out of that situation. This gentleman,
it will be recollected, not long since, actually inflicted
on a fellow who had left his family, and was a notori-
ously bad character, the punishment of flogging, be-
cause the man whose business it was to do so refused,
on the ground of his being an acquaintance.

The New River Company have undertaken to

tion, that an immense length of iron pipe would be
required for the works, and this is to be manufactured
in Staffordshire for ready money only) not less than
a sum of £150.000 being necessary for the purpose.
The Bank of England., at the recommendation of
Government, has agreed to advance the money on
proper securities ; and the interference of the Bi itish
Government has been the more read.ly accorded, be.
cause the convenience of the inhabitants of Paris was
combined with the employment of some thousands
of workmen in Staffordshire during the winter. The
French Government give the New River Company
security for their advances by means of the shales of I
the water works at Paris, which promise to prove ex-1
ceedingly lucrative.

The facts of the case were distinctly proved ; boc the

M ijesty's service for fifteen years. and When dis-
charged had not been able to get any pension, al.
though he had repeatedly applied. Since that time

. linoteritr DEBTORS' Cove T.--yesterday the Court net tra
the L-essions House, Westmins:er, pursuant co adjturnment. The
day was principally occupied in hearing caves of no pr.blic in.-
portant.e. A considerable number of debtors were remanded for
gross injustice, wilful concealment of property; undue prtle:ence
ut creditors, and for grossly waving their property in prison.—
The Court observed, that they had learned that a csnispiracy bad
been entered into by ynany of the debtors in the jails of the Me-
tropolis, far the purpose of delrauti.ng their creditors; but such a
conspiracy would be of no avail, as the utmost 'vigilance would
be exercised is the ex;.mination of every debtor before his dis-

charge was granted. t he psrticulars of that cot,spiracy were well
known to the Court (though unfit to meet the public eye), and
therefore the buurt would eureise, with the utmost rigour, that

power vested in it by the late Act of Parliament.

too many rrsons being suffered to land trom the
walks in a beat. that practice was still carried on
to an alarming degree ; the watermen, in order to
save trouble, taking more persons on board than do
boat could well hold. In this statement he was con.
firtned by his companion. The LORD MAYOR Said,
he had no remedy for the evil in question but to
write to the Contractors upon the subject, which he
had no doubt would have the desired effect: The
communication was immediately written and forwar-
ded by his Lordship.
