came to him, and asked him if he would take a load of
flour. On replying in the affirmative, he was requested to
employ a man to help him. He accordingly got Mr.
M'Anally. Mr. Rushton, on hearing this much of his
evidence, ordered him into the witness box, when he said
that he took the load to Spranger-street, where seven of
the barrels were taken from him, and put into a spring
cart. The remainder, 13, were taken to the prisoner's
premises in Portland-street, and there left. Mr. Wm. Con-
dell, said that that morning, from information he had re-
ceived from Jones, he saw the prisoner, who admitted that
he had committed the robbery. This was denied by the pri-
soner. Mr. Rushton, addressing M'Anally, said he was
glad he had remanded him, instead of sending him to trial,
as he at first intended. By the evidence just given, he was
exculpated from all blame, and he might be discharged.
Trainor was committed for trial.

Estimating the cargo landed from a ship of 700
tons to be 900 loads, a clear gain ensues at

Birkenhead of _
£5O 5 0"
In the first instance, it will be seen that Mr. Laird
does not meet fully the substance or the details of
Mr. Bramley-Moore's statement. It was that "the
charges at present existing for a ship of 700 tons
coming into Liverpool, discharging a cargo of timber,
and going away again in ballast, and storing the
cargo for twelve months, would cost the importer
£4B 28. 11d. more in Birkenhead than in Liverpool."
Mr. Laird omits the charges upon the ship altogether,
and merely gives us the charges upon the cargo
landed. ' Why this is done we do not presume to
say ; but when we observe that the tonnage rate
and outwards, is
3irkenliead ls. 6d. per ton against ls. 3d. in
Liverpool, a suspicion, at least, is created, that such
a statement as is required to overthrow the Dock
Chairman's figures would be inconvenient. Besides
this, however, Mr. Laird has omitted some of the
Birkenhead expenses, whilst he has given those of
Liverpool very fully. For instance, he has omitted
altogether in the Birkenhead statement the item
" turning to measure," the charge for which is 4d.
per load, whilst he charges Liverpool with 4s. per
20 loads under the same head.
For the information of our readers, we give here
parative statement from which the
Z read at the meeting, and with

THE NATIONAL ANTI-GOLD-LAW LEAGUE

(From the North British Mail.)
Glasgow, 7th August

ing of t

We briefly mentioned yesteri
Anti-Gold League—a name which must not be supposed
to imply that its members are in any way opposed to gold
in its proper place. The league, which is enrolling many
members, and acquiring considerable influence, is merely
an association for what may be termed a radical reform of
the currency. It does not stop with the repeal of the
acts of 1844 and 1845, but reverts to that of 1819, with
a view to a complete change of the principles that were
then adopted. We insert to-day a full report of the pro-

!edings.

Thel; is not the slightest doubt that the law of 1811

was passed without a proper knowledge of its tendencies
by men who were thoroughly ignorant of the subject on
which they legislated, or if some ideas of its character
and purpose strayed accidentally into the minds of the
Boetians, by whom it was made law, they thought them-

cured by the corn and

provision duties, and

him to have his own way, believinc, that he only wished
to save the small gratuity which they commonly received
for their trouble. Umbach marched valiently through the

'erous path, when the formidable dogs flew at him in
Is. What could he do ? He retreated, retreated,
retreated gently, walking backwards, so as to look his
enemies full in the face. Presently he brought his back
against a wall, and then staggering, he at I.2ngth sank
down into a sitting posture, on a great stone at the en-
trance of one of the warehouses. His back was secure,
and the instrument almost instinctively fell between his
feet. There he sat in his customary musical position,
and, with a mind full of anxiety, he almost unconsciously
drew his bow across the chords ; the dogs stood still, and

EXPLOSION AND Loss OF LIFE. ON BOARD THE
FRENCH ROYAL YACHT.—A frightful accident occurred
on Monday, on board the royal screw-propeller yacht
" Comte d'Eu.". She had left. Havre in the morning for
Cherbourg, where some of her fittings were to have been
completed, and she was to proceed thence to Treport, to
take on board his Majesty. Louis Philippe,
land part of the
• rIl

royal family, for a pleasure excursion. Ine steamer was
going at its usual speed, when about noon, the officers
and a few passengers being assembled on deck, a mass of
steam was seen to escape in thick volumes from all the
of the engine room. The first moment of panic

of t e steam even on deck was, however, so great that it
was almost impossible to move about on it; and it was
known that twenty engineers and firemen were in the
greatest danger near the furnaces. Three of them were
soon seen to emerge from the hatches, and fall senseless
on deck. Cries of help were heard, but the difficulty of
sending any person to the assistance of the unfortunates
below was so great that none ventured to come forward,
until the captain himself, only taking counsel of his cou-
rage, fastened a rope round his body, got himself hoisted
into the engine room, and, though, having but one arm,
succeeded, with the assistance of some of the crew, in
getting up the bodies of the remaining sufferers. The
greatest care and tenderness were afforded to the victims,
but many had lost almost human shape, and most of
them gave hardly any signs of life. Before ten o'clock in
the evening nine had expired. The steamer's head had
meanwhile been turned towards Havre, she being then
near Barfleur. When the steam had sufficiently escaped
to allow the examination of the engine, it was discovered
that the boiler had burst in the under part, corresponding
with the furnaces; and the boiling water, falling upon
the fire, and running through the grates, had deluged
with its burning waves the whole of the engine room.
The effect upon. the unfortunate men who were at that
time in the engine room must have been immediate, and
instant suffocation must have been the fate of the persons
who were nearest the boilers. The " Comte d'Eu arrived
in the roads of Havre at two o'clock in the morning of
Tuesday, when the killed and wounded were placed in
boats, and brought on shore. Of the immediate survi-
vors, eleven in number, who had been sent to the hospi-
tal, four expired on Tuesday, and there is little hope
entertained of the ultimate recovery of the remainder.

were possible, and flew like a shot up the steep hill-side,
while his feet struck a train of fire behind him ! They
had no power to avert his_reckless course, even had they

wished it, nor even to moderate his terrible ardour. On,
Mazeppa-like, they race, panting, breathless on the wings
of the wind, over stones and brushwood, and through the
wild ravine. The landscape reels Around them—the cliffs
and the crags whirl past—the trees of the forest seem to
melt into air; now they dash through a torrent, blind
with the foam ; now they rise over a towering rock ; now
plunge into a cleft in the wild, dark mountain ! Once
Spiro would have cried out in horror, had he had time or
breath, for he saw that they were approaching a terrible
precipice, caused by a deep rent in the cliff; that gaped
gloomy and wide, with a great river raging beneath, but
the desert-born paused but one moment on the brink of
the abyss, and gathered his feet together like a cat about
to leap on his prey, then, with one bound, he sprung over
the terrible gulf, and dashed on through the forest of pine
beyond. It seemed to the palpitating, gasping riders, as
though their flight lasted for hours, and so in truth it did;
but they could take no account of time, thus darting
through the air, and when at last Spiro succeeded in
abating the speed of the horse, and, finally, arresting him
altogether, they found themselves in the very heart of
the most savage mountains of Arcadia, where, perhaps,
never foot of man had trodden before.

Mr. James Burns (of the firm of G. and J. Burns), was
officially requested to furnish information regarding the
west coast, and Mr. Burns accordingly furnished to head-
quarters a sketch of the various localities which were wor-

On Sunday morning, the packet-ship John IL Skiddy,

she sailed on the 19th ult. She brings intelligence from
Mexico of considerable importance—the latest dates being
from Vera Cruz to the 2d ultimo, and from the city of
Mexico to 29th June. It appears that the United States
Government had in the spring resumed negotiations with
the Mexicans for the re-establishment of peace, but the
propositions were refused unless under certain stipulations
to which the American Government would not accede, a
they involved the relinquishment of all the advantag
gained by the United State
