LIABILITY OF SHIPOWNERS.—In the Court of Queen S
Bench, on Saturday, the case of Baring, Brothers e•
Twizell was tried before the Lord Chief Justice. The
plaintiffs were Messrs. Baring, Brothers, merchants ; and
the defendant, John Twizell, a shipowner at North
Shields. The action was to recover damages for the 1°55
of a quantity of molasses shipped on board one of the de'
fendant's vessels, and which had run out of the casks on
the voyage to England from the island of Cuba. It 8P;
peered that on the 13th of July, 1852, a large quantity 0'
molasses had been shipped on board the brig Elizabeth,
in good order and condition, at Cardenas, in Cuba, to be
delivered to Messrs. Baring, Brothers, in the port °I
London, in the like order and condition, " the dangers?,
the sea only excepted." When the goods arrived 11
London, it was found that nine of the casks at the top.°
the loading under the main hatchway were lying with
their bungholes half down, an], the molasses having rtni
out, the casks were empty. It appeared that the metal
was to stow casks of molasses with the bungholes open,
otherwise the fermentation of the molasses would can"
the casks to burst, but it was also usual that the casks
should be " chocked," or kept in their places by pieces of
wood placed on each side. This appeared to have bee°
done in the present case, but it was alleged that the,
master of the vessel had been guilty of negligence in not
taking care that the condition of the casks should be estP
mined from time to time on the voyage, to see that all was
right.—Lord Campbell said, the simple question for the
jury was, whether or not the loss had been occasioned by
" the dangers of the sea."—The jury found a verdict for
the plaintiffs, with £lB 10s. damages,
IRON CHVRCH FOR AIELIIOI3II.'N'E.--A short time since
we gave a description of an iron church, intended for Aug,
tralia, and which has attracted considerable attention, at
the works of Mr. Hemmings,. the eminent contrator of
Bristol, who has also an establishment at Birkenhead,
we may now add, that the church has been built under
the order of the Bishop of Melbournerand forms the first
of nine or ten which are intended to be sent out. The
frame-work is composed of wooLL so amalgamated as to
admit of being easily taken to pieces- and re-erected ; the
roof and walls are of corrugated galvanised iron, and um'
derneath that, in order to prevent inconvenience from the
sun's rays on a meta'. substance, is placed felt, as a non'
conductor, and witholt that again a walling of strained
canvas, which has been prepared with a granite paper,
which gives to the building an appearance of great solidity
It will cover an area of about 70 feet by 45 feet, and coin'
prises a tower, nave, two side aisles, two galleries,- a coal'
munion-table, pulpit, and reading desic, also a robing'
room, baptistry, &c. it will afford accommodation to
about 650 persons. It is so made that, when packed for
the -royage, the freight will not exceed 30-tons measzsre-
meat. Mr. Hemmings has guaranteed to deliver the
others, in order, at the rate of one per month. On Frid3l,
an interesting service was performed in the church, an°
the Archdeacon of Melbourne preached a very impressive
sermon from Ephesians, ii. 21: Full evening service we/
performed, and the Archdeacon was assisted by the Rea'
Dr. Spencer and the Rev. H. G. Eland. The chorister,
of Beclorinster Church were 11;30 in attendance. A'collec‘
tion was made at the close, which amounted to about

RUSSTA!,--S7. PETERSBURG, Ajwil 21st.—The chelter3,
which was then raging with great violence at Moscow"
had reappeared in the Russian capital ; several persong
had died. The latest accounts state that the disease' had
not made further progress, and !tad been confined to
isolated cases.—A telegraphic despatch received at Vienna
announces that, according to re--,orts -of the Austria'
Consulate, at Odessa, the Russians have positively sag'
pended their armaments. At Odessa no speculations'
made in grain, and large quantities 7_l- corn had accum2'
lated in Southern Russia. In spite of extensive pur-,
chases made by the Russian Government, prices boa
fallen, and were still falling. No other news of interest.
