FIBE ^ SEA . Spontaneous combustion has destroyed two vessels at Rca One was an Indiaman of 600 tons , bound from r-ilcutta to Liverpool , by name Jaeger . Her cargo was StpetS . rice . and s ' u / ar . The fire took place on the 26 th of July and was discovered at first , not by smoke , but bv the heat below . Great efforts were made to vanquish the fire , but in vain ; and the crew escaped on board the Europa , a ship which at a distance had observed the smoke , and gallantly bore down to render any necessary assistance . . ,- » .,. The second unfortunate loss by fire was the Keldy Castle , belonging to Hartlepool , chartered by the West India Mail Steamer Company to supply coals to their dep 6 t at Monte Video . That the coals spontaneously igto the destruction of the vessel cannot for
nited , and led a moment be doubted . Many instances are on record where coals in lengthened voyages , through the want of ventilation , have ignited and occasioned the burning of the vessel . Some days prior to the 25 th of June the Keldy Castle was found to be on fire . There was no want of exertion on the crew ' s part to save her from destruction . They worked at the pumps day and night to keep the fire under , but to no purpose , and they were at length compelled to take to the boats , where they were exposed four days and nights , suffering great privations before they were picked up . The vessel that saved them was the Colonel Maule , from Callao , the captain of which is deserving of the highest commendation for searching for one of the boats , they having parted and lost sight of each other .

MISCELLANEOUS . The Daily News publishes a list of the names of the absolute majority of the Neapolitan Parliament imprisoned , exiled , or persecuted to death by the King of Naples . This verifies Mr . Gladstone ' s statement . We read in the French paper appearing in Constantinople , that a Polish refugee of the name of Rudniski has discovered a sort of perpetuum mobile , at least an engine which somewhat approaches perpetual motion , for when once put in motion it can preserve it for twenty year ? . The power of this engine is said to be greater , than th ; st of any other yet known . The article in the same paper says that the inventor has made as a model a small carriage , 22 inches long , 11 inches wide , and 14 inches high ; that it carries a burden of one ton ; and that its speed is a mile a minute . The inventor is now occupied in building a mill after his method for the Turkish Government . The Austrian National Guard was dissolved by an Imperial ordinance on the 24 th of August . There are nine Polish-Hungarian refugees in Norwich maintained chiefly by the subscriptions of sympathizing friends . The Norfolk News says it is informed , that " they are all progressing as fast as possible in the acquisition of their trade , and their conduct for industry and sobriety is quite exemplary . " The Convocation of the Clergy , which meets annually , concurrent with Parliament , was on Thursday prorogued by the Archbishop of Canterbury until February . It is not allowed to do anything and is , therefore , a sham and a mock r rv .
Tae Banner of Ulster calls attention to the following manifesto from the Marquis of Londonderry to his tenantry : — " The persons or tenants whom Lord Londonderry has had just reason to complain of , and on whom lie ordered evictions to be served , will see by such proceeding that Loid Londonderry has no desire to retain any one on his estate who acts wrong by him , or who wiehes to live elsewhere . Those persons or tenants , therefore , if they desire to remain for their own ohjectn , will send in their names and make such request to Lord Londonderry , or else they will be expected to yive up their holdings at the time appointed . If they ask to remain , it will be considered by Lord Londonderry . " Lord Londonderry is a cool fellow—but often a hind one . What means the new enigma ?
The f . ttendanee at the Exposition this week has been small , comparatively , the highest number being upwards of 61 , 000 , and the lowest less than . ' 59 , 000 . Possibly this may arise from tlie double influence of the rush from town of the holders of season tickets , and of harvest operations . Mill the nnmbrm are even now larger than were anticipated lant January , An important trial took place before the Brighton mauistrateti on Thursday . Two men named Gregory and Stullaiu were charged with having entered into a conspiracy to defraud th « Iirijfhton Kaiiwny Company . The conspiracy consisted in this : Htullnrd deals in
tickets , a very common practice both in London and at Urighton . J 3 y purchasing n third-class ticket , of a dealer and handing it . in with out ; shilling the purchaser can obtain what it < called an excess necond-cla ^ s ticket . In the present instance n policeinsprctor was set to watch the parties . He b ;» w the transfer of a ticket in exchange for Konio money . He : witnessed the exchange of a thirdeliihH lor a t ; eeoii < l-eluss ticket at the fitulion , and he rode up to town with Gregory the purchaser . Hut . the ticket was not produced , the contract between the necuned parties was not pioven , and the case consequently broke down . It . Kee . med , however , to be the opinion of the bench and the lawyers on both hide * , that if a trnnhfer or money could he adequately proved , an indie'merit would lie against the parties for conspiracy . Mr . Faithull , the solicitor of ( he railway company , announced thut tne ace , u-ed would he indicted Ht the Assizes .
. ' » 'ht : view to prevent accidents in the tunnels on the Ureat Korihern , it appears thut underground tel « - KrupiH , are now bein K luid through the several tunnela « n tlus railway , eo «« to enable the ninu ntationrd atone * nu to communicate with the man nt the other end when
a train goes into , or comes out of the tunnel . It is intended that no second train shall be allowed , under any circumstances , to enter a tunnel until a communication is made that the first train has passed out . . Some miscreant cut the pit rope at the Malabo Vale Collierv , the scene of the late fatal accident on Monday last "' Fortunately it was discovered before the men nad entered the bucket . The cut , which extended across the rope , penetrated to the depth of a quarter or an inch It appeared to have been made with a chisel or sharp knife / and it had evidently been cut in an upward direction . It is considered by competent persons that the incision in the rope was sufficiently deep to endanger its safety when the weights came to act upon it ; and it is not improbable that , had it not fortunately been discovered before » he bucket was lowered , several poor fellows would have been dashed to pieces .
The jury who sat to inquire into the dreadful accident at the Washington Colliery arrived at the following verdict late on the night of the 27 th : — " We are of opinion that William Hall , and the thirty-two others named in the depositions , came by their deaths by the firing of the Washington Pit , in M'Nare ' s board , on the 18 th of August instant ; and we are of opinion that the air , having been highly charged with gas previously , and probably receiving a sudden check , had caused the fire to increase outside this board ; that lamps ought to have been used instead of candles ; and there should have been more brattice , as recommended by Mr . Dunn" ( the Government inspector ) . It should be remarked , that Mr . Dunn ' s recommendation was made after the explosion , as appears from the evidence , he not having examined the pit previously .
An agrarian murder has been perpetrated in Kilkenny . Edward White , having by his own industry amassed a considerable property in ready money , purchased a short time since a portion of the Portarlington estate in the neighbourhood of Abbeyleix , in which village he resided . A dispute arose with some persons in the locality about a right of turbary , and some summonses to petty sessions had been issued on both sides . Some litigation was thus going forward , but there was no uncommon feature in the transaction , and anything like serious ill-feeling
towards himself was not apprehended by Mr . White . However , on Monday morning , whilst driving to his land , he was met on the road by a man who stopped the gig , deliberately shot Mr . White through the heart , and then having thrown the pistol into the vehicle , coolly walked away . The pony proceeded on its journey , and conveyed the inanimate corpse of its roaster to the farm . The murder was committed within sight of hundreds of people reaping in the surrounding fields ; but not the slightest attempt was not made either to render assistance to the gentleman attacked , or to apprehend the assassin .
A woman was found dead in Regent-street on Wedncsdaj ' . There were no marks of violence on her person . An inquest has been held , and the verdict is" Died of apoplexy . " Annette Meyers , who shot the guardsman in Birdcagewalk , and whose case excited po much commiseration in England , has arrived in Van Diemen ' s Land . The case of Cole , the policeman , charged with having caused by violence the death of William Cogan , in Plumtree-court , Shoe-lane , was continued on Tuesday for the defence . Alderman Wilson further remanded Cole , and postponed his decision for a week . When the whole case is concluded , we shall lay it before our readers .
Thomas Ledger , the master of the National School at Agar-town , was charged before Mr . Tyrwhitt , at Clerkenwell , on Saturday , with assaulting one of his pupils , aged twelve years . The boy ' s back was very severely whrnlcd . The punishment was administered with a cane , and in private . The defence set up was , that the be » y was " obstinate and wickrel , " and that he " snapped his fingers during prayers . " Mr . Tyrwhitt wan of opinion that the case ought to end there , for no great harm had been done . He we > ulel repeat what he : had e ) ften said , that he had seen punishments far more severe inflicted in the school where he was brought up , upon some e > f the first noblemen now living , clergymen , naval and military officers , and others of very high standing , who never flinched from it , but took it manfully and in good part , knowing ; they had deserveel it , and that it
was for the character and dignity of the establishment that , such a discipline was actually necessary ; " and without it , " emphatically cxclaime d the worthy magis trnle , " what would have become of our army and navy ? Why , instead of a brave and manly race , we should have had n set of cowards and runaways . " Me did not appiovt : of secret flogging ; if it was neei ssary , it ought to tnke place before the other scholars , to eiperate as a warning-. The Reverend C . Hart hoped the matter would be settled there , and gave defendant a very high character . The father would not consent ; he w ; is desirous that defendant should be tried before a jury . Ultimately it wan agreed that the case should be refer « u to the sessions , ho that it might be decide el to what , extent a Kchoolmanlcr . wan juslifieel in correcting youths committed to his care . Hail was taken for lii » app < urancc to take his trial , and ho was liberated .

food . One man complained of buying sausages impregnated with red lead ; another , that his children had been seized with diarrhoea in consequence of eating sausages made of tainted meat . A woman exhibited a pair o ( blacklookiner saveloys , which she said her children could not eat . In all these cases the money had been demanded back from the sellers , who of course had refused . The magistrates stated that they could not interfere . Mr . Yardley recommended a public prosecutor ; and both he and Mr . Ingham agreed that the only remedy was an action in the County Court .
