Guards and the Blues are to be brought to Dublin for the
Exhibition ; that the occasion for the Exhibition will be,,

THE WRECK OF THE QtJEEN VICTORIA. After 0
lengthened investigation into the causes of the accident?
the coroner's jury gave the following verdict, as the result
of their deliberarions :—" We find that John Reardon,
jun., came by his death by drowning, he being at the
time a passenger on hoard the Queen Victoria steamed'
bound from Liverpool to Dublin, which said steam-sW
was wrecked on the morning of the 15th February, 1853,
off Howth ; and that his death was occasioned by the
culpable neglect of Captain Church and Thomas Davis 1,111
not slackening speed in a snow storm, which obscured 11;,
lights, and they knowing they were approaching land.
The Coroner said that, under that finding, it would be
his duty, to commit Davis for trial at' Commission, upon °
charge of manslaughter. Mr. Curran applied to 11015
Davis admitted to bail, which was at once acceded to
and a recognisance for his appearance was then enters
into, himself in £lOO, and two sureties in £5O each,'
The jury returned a verdict in the other cases to the effec'
that three bodies were found floating in the Bay 01
Dublin..

SUGAR PROM BEETROOT.—The experiment of man!!:
facturing sugar from beetroot in Ireland is alleged by 1P
promoters to have removed all doubt of ultimate success'
A sale of 142 bags has taken place in Dublin during the
past week, and the general position of the affair is stated
at present to be as follows :—The works are being carried
on by a company called the Irish Beet Sugar Company
i
with a Royal charter, and a subscribed capital 0"
£120,000 in £2O shares, with power of increase 0
£500,000. Their establishments at present are limited 00
the localities of Mountmellick and Dononghmore, int
Queen's County, and these are adapted to the conslotr
tion of 50 tons of roots per day. The total 01 SUP
manufactured and sold thus far has been about SO tOl7
while the prices realised have been between £3l and
exclusive of duty, leaving, as it is stated, a large er°';
THE SIX-MILE BRIDGE AFFRAY—TheSPIing A• 5511,
opened at Ennis on Tuesday, when IVFr. Justice Perri]''
after the usual preliminaries, charged the jury at great
length, calling upon them to exclude all hearsay 15
weighing the evidence, and to disregod'all statements an
previous impressions under which they entered the Court-
house. He then referred to the Six-mile Bridge affray
and particularly impressed upoe them the application e'•
the above principles to that case, the leading particular!
of which he sketched. He also pointed out to them tbss
if the soldiers were found to have fired without previ9llS
excitement they were guilty of murder, but if any excite'
meet led to the conclusion that they had no deliberate 10'
tertion to take away life they were guilty of manslaughter;
They could not also find a general verdict, but must fin;
their bill against every individual soldier who was proved
to have discharged his musket. Ills Lordship made 0°
allusion in his charge to the Romish priests, ]Messrs'
Burke and Clune, against whom informations have beet:
sworn for riot, and who, it was understood, would be P_,°,
on their trial at these assizes. The Grand Jury reserve",
the consideration of the bills to Wednesday, when the;
ignored them. In consequence of this decision the
Attorney-General, Mr. Brewster, called upon the 0101
to place one of the soldiers in the dock for the purpose
a pro forma trial, which would enable him to deliver or,
address upon the whole case in open court. According''
he proceeded to state facts connected with the affray °Vf
Six-mile Bridge, and maintained that it was the duty °,
the Attorney-General to prosecute in a case of that kind'
He would indignantly repudiate any insinuation that he
was only carrying out a compromise when he announce
that it was not his intention to proceed further with the
charges arising out of that unhappy circumstance ; and h°
trusted that all parties would join in preventing a recur.:
rence of such events as had recently taken place in thr
country. The jury, then, under the direction of his lord'
ship, acquitted the traverser, who was discharged ; and
nolle prosequi was entered in the case of Mr. Delmegef
J.P., and all the other soldiers.

THE ROXBURGH. CASTLE, with 70 passengers, and
large frieght of gold, arrived off Portland on Saturday, and
landed some of her passengers by the pilot boat. Pavia
to the heavy gale, they had some difficulty in reaching
Portsmouth. On the passage the Roxburgh Castle rescuat
the crew, 21 in number, of a merchant ship on fire, whicP
soon afterwards burnt to the water's edge.
DESTRUCTIVE. FIRE.—A fire, involving vast destrac,'
tion of property, broke out on Thursday morning, shore!.
before 2 o'clock, in the extensive premises belonging 4'
Messrs. Pawson and Co., of St. Paul's Churchyard, Loa'
don. The two policemen on duty rang the bell violentlt
and succeeded in arousing the inmates to a sense of the
danger. Messrs. Pawson have no less than 300 youl
men in their employ, one-third of whom sleep in 0,
house. The greatest alarm prevailed for some time aft!
the discovery, and but for the means of escape afforded
by an outlet on to the roof, and thence aver the adjoinia:
houses, there is no doubt great loss of life would b
taken place. Mr. Pawson and his brother-in-law, fit'
Merton, erton, were sleeping on the premises, and they
only just time to escape. The upper portion of the Pr%
mises is almost entirely destroyed, and a very costly qualo-
tity of lace and Coventry ribands is burnt. The who+
stock is also considerably damaged by water.

WRECK OP THE ARIENIS.—The fate of this vessel, AO
East Indianian, and that of her officers and crew, has f0t

China, sad from the period of her departure from Bombil
nothing was heard of her until about a month or six wcel‘
ago, when there appeared in the Java paper, an announce'
ment that a large ship, supposed to be the Arienis /Oa,rd
England, had been wrecked on the Euzans Islands,„'
lat. 5 31 south, long. 102 12 east, about 0 miles off
matra, on the west coast, and that the whole of the cleft;
44 in number, had perished by starvation. Lloyd's aketg
at Singapore have sent additional information respeen,
the unhappy catastrophe, from which we gather, that, sr,
though a great many of the crew, including the
masteo
Captain Brown, his chief officer, Mr. Church, and ether:
120 in all, perished, the remainder of the ship's comPse'o
24, were found on the island by a merchant trading theno
for oil, who took them on board his vessel, which 11

FATAL SIIIPWRECK.—A very sad shipwreck hapPerlot
at Shields, on Wednesday night. The sea rose with grcti
suddenness and fury at the mouth of the Tyne, 'cl
heavy falls of snow, and just as a heavy snowstorm cep
on, the schooner Sir William Wallace, laden with ce,d,
and provisions, was observed running from the northovia
with sails partly set, and a flac, of distress in her lel
rigging. As she was observed' to approach the br‘e,ilt•
water in Shields bar, the Tyne pilots ran to the !';1100
house, and immediately manned both lifeboats. the
they were so engaged the vessel was obscured by b 0
snowstorm from the sight of hundreds of persons:t'
were on the shore, and when the snow cleared a"the
which it did in ten minutes or a quarter of an hooror
vessel was not to be seen. The men in the lifebcat,
ever, pulled down to the " Narrows," and looked out bat
ward, imagining she had managed to run out to sea;,olS,
not an object was observable on the waters. SI 00
however, as the snow blew entirely away, the vesse

round her, but not one of her crew was left ; they 11a has

she had struck, and having a fine narrow bottoh
