THE WRECK OF THE QUEEN VICTORIA,.— After 11
lengthened investigation into the causes of the-accident,
the coroner's jury gave the following verdict, us-the reso
of their deliberations :—" We find that John Reardon'

time a passenger on hoard the Queen Victoria stearacP
bound from Liverpool to Dublin, which said steam-stlIP
was wrecked on the morning of the 15th February, 113Dat

THE SIX-MILZ BRIDGE AFFRAY.—The Spring Assiol
opened at Ennis on Tuesday, when Mr. Justice Perrla!
after the usual preliminaries, charged the jury at great
length, calling upon them to exclude all hearsay' 11
weighing the evidence. and to disregard all statements an
previous impressions under which they entered the Court'
house. He then referred to the Six-mile Bridge affray'
i
and particularly impressed upon them the application 0.:
the above principles to that case, the leading particulaP,
of which be sketched. He also pointed out to them thP
if the soldiers were found to have fired without previella
excitement they were guilty of murder, but if any excite'
ment led to the conclusion that they had no deliberate /0'
rention to take away life they were guilty of manslaughter,/
They could not also find a general verdict, but must find
their bill against every individual soldier who was prove:
to have discharged his musket. His Lordship.,made De
allusion in his charge to the Romish priests, Messes
Burke and Clune, against whom informations have been
sworn for riot, and who, it was understood, would be 102
on their trial at these assizes. The Grand Jury reserve!,
the consideration of the bills to Wednesday, when they
ignored them. in consequence of this decision th:
Attorney-General, Mr. Brewster, called upon the coati
to place one of the soldiers in the dock for the purpose 0.,
a proforma trial, which would enable him to deliver sr
address upon the whole case in open court. Accordingi
he proceeded to state facts connected with the affray of
Six-mile Bridge. and maintained that it was the duty e;
the Attorney-General to prosecute in a caseuf that kind'
He would indignantly repudiate any insinuation that b';
was only, carrying out a compromise when he announce':
that it was not his intention to proceed farther with tite
charges arising out of that unhappy circumstance ; and he
trusted that all parties would join in preventing a recur'
rence of such events as had recently taken place in the
country. The jury, then, under the direction of his lore'
ship, acquitted the traverser, who was discharged ; and n'
nolle pm:aqui was entered in the case of Mr. Delraeget
J.P., and. all the other soldiers.

Trig ROXBURGH CAsmx, with 70., passengers, and
large frieght of gold, arrived off Portland on Saturday, f!ri,..
landed some of her passengers by the pilot boat. Ow!rto
to the heavy gale, they had some difficulty in reachteg
Portsmouth. On the passage the Roxburgh Castle rescqc„,
the crew, 21 in number, of a merchant ship on fire, whic"
soon afterwards burnt to the water'S edge.
DESXRUCTIVE FIRE.—A fire, involving vast destruct'
tion of property, broke out on Thursday morning, short
before 2 o clock, in the extensive premises belonging t"
Messrs. Pawson and Co., of St..?aul's Churchyard, LOW'
don. The two policemen on duty rang the bell violent
and succeeded in arousing the inmates to a sense of tbel„
danger. Messrs. Pawson have no less than 300 yonl3
men in their employ, one-third of whom sleep in t't
house. The greatest alarra.prevailed for some time aftej
the discovery, and but for the means of escape affor4e
by an outlet on to the roof, and thence over the adjoinl
houses, there is no doubt great loss of life would 13,111
taken place. Mr. Pawson. and his brother-in-law,
Ellerton, were sleeping on the premises, and they bed
only just time to escape. The upper portion of the Pt ,
mises is almost entirely destroyed, and aver;: costly quill?,
stock is also considerably damaged by water.
tity of lace and Coventry ribands is burnt._ The whO,

WRECK OF THE AJLIENIs.—The fate of this vessel, ,tlif
East Indiaman, and. that of her officers and, crew, has I",
a long while excited much anxiety. She sailed from 1.004
don some two years since, on a voyage for Bombay nPe
China, and from the period of her departure fromßonabl;
nothing was heard of her until about a month or six wee:,
,
ago, when there appeared in the Java paper, an announcla
ment that a large ship, supposed to, be the Arienis fr°•Tj
England, had been wrecked on the Eugans
lat. 5 31 south, long. 102 12 east, about 60 miles off 130
matra, on the west coast, and that the whole of the ere to
44 in number, had perished by starvation. Lloyd's age
at Singapore have sent additional information respeCti_v
the unhappy catastrophe, from which we gather, that, W 4,
though a great many of the crew. including the mast°T,
Captain Brown, his chief officer, Mr. Church, and other",
20 in all, perished, the remainder of the ship's coinP9ll;,o
24, were found on the island by a merchant trading then
for oil, who took them on board his vessel, which P"
since arrived at Singapore.

FATAL SHIPWLZECK.—A very sad shipwreck hape—eo
at Shields, on Wednesday night. The sea rose with grals
suddenness and fury at the mouth of the Tyne, vio
heavy falls of snow, and just as a heavy snowstorm citjg
on, the schooner Sir William Wallace, laden with c?,
and provisions, was observed running from the nortbnlio
with sails partly set, and a flag of distress in her Okett
rigging. As she was observed to approach the broi at'
water in Shields bar, the Tyne pilots ran to the °.°olo
house, and immediately manned both lifeboats. " T 136
they were so engaged the vessel was obscured by 130
snowstorm from the sight of hundreds of persons "fif,
were on the shore, and when the snow cleared n'cilie
which it did in ten minutes or a quarter of an hour,sort•
vessel was not to be seen. The men in the lifeboat,'les'
