Dreadful Disaster Near Rouen. Rcethlb Ri...
DREADFUL DISASTER NEAR ROUEN . _rCETHlB _riHTICnLABS . Iloucn , August 22 . The Rouen papsrswiU have _iwfonued you of an occurrence . * n Tuesday last , without parallel , I believe , in Europe . Three large cotton factories were on that day , in the space of one _jniuate and a _. _jaartcr , levelled to tlie ground , and tlie whole of the persons employed in them , amounting to uvo hundred at least , buried in therniiis . IhaTercad of battles , hurricanes , and storms , hut the fetal cveut of which I write is unique ? I feel perfectly ¦ unequal to an adequate description of it . Those who have _passed from ltouen to Dieppe , or from Dieppe to _Jloueu _, will remember that before arriving at the first relay , or place for changing horses , going from Rouen lo Dieppe , at a distance of three or four leagues from the
former town , and of course before ascending the hill over it , the road takes an abrupt turn to thc left , and crosses a littls bridge . At tie same spot ( the place is called Malaunay ) a branch _rsad to tlie right ascends and continues midway along a range of hiils somewhat precipitous , covered with forest and other trees for a wile or two . A Beautiful valley lies beneath it , ou which there existed on Tuesday last hah-a-dozeu cotton factories , -with as maaj comfortable dwe ling-Louses of the proprietors . A small river runs through the valley , nearer , however , to thc hills , which rise on the western side , and the waters of which served to turn the wheels and machinery in those factories . About a quarter of a aiile from Malaunay the heights to the right arc divided hv a sort of ravine , vrliich runs ( at tliat point at lcast )
_srordi -and south . In front of and below it in tlie valley stood the factory of a 11 . Seven , whose dwelling IsG & se was contiguous to it . Thc whole of thc forenoen of Tuesday , August 19 , had been stormy . After twelve o ' clock the wind increased , and hy one o ' clock Wew a hurricane , with the amount of rain that usualiy _accompanies a thunder-storm _era tlie crisis arrives . A fewiniimtcs after one o ' clock two Hashes of lightning , followed by lo J ' _-l thunder , were observed . Immediately afterwards a spectacle presented itself so unusual aud so _appalling that those who witnessed it were struck mute with tenor . Thc clouds , which were low , scarcely rising above tlie tops of thc hills at each side of the valley , commenced turning or revolving within each other . A Ionmoaning was heard iu thc air , which presently increased
to a scream louder than thunder , A whirlwind rose and rushed up the ravine above described . Ou the top , or at the issue of it , the trees wore large , thick , and numerous , but the triad , which came from the south , cut theai as if with a scythe . It descended , tearing up the roots or snapping like wands the trees that clothed tlie side of the hill ; crossed the road diagonally , burst throush a fer . re , opened for itself a passage _through a high _c-mlK-nkaicnt , destroyed cabins , fruit audornamentai trees ia its _course , andarrived at tlie factory of JI . Nevou . It overthrew and razed it literally to the ground . It unslatcd tlie adjoining dwelling-house , and proceeded to the factory of all . Mare , a distance of GOO orSOO yards , _ravaging- the _i-Jtcirening- grounds . This latter _foctorv fell hefore it as if a house of cards . Walls , roof , machinery ,
inmates , were destroyed and mingled hy its resistless force . Thc dwelling-house of il . If are was spared , like that of M . Nevcu , hut the unslating of the roof and walls was more _compk-te . Hitherto the storm had followed its direct course from south to north . After passing over the house : i : _* . d factory of M . Mare , and reaching tliat of if . _ricqaot , it wheeled suddenly to the right and passed a distance of a couple of hundred yards to the cast , "but returned from its ahrupt detour ere it reached the Toad . Then , like a huntsman who tikes ground _suiHcu-nt to put his steed in full speed eve he atteiii » fe-a great Iran , aad like him making itself up forthcfcat . it rushed upon the factory of M , 1 'icquot ( a splendid new and solid structure of brick , presenting a front cf about 200 feet in length . The building consisted
ofthe fsctory proper , four stories in height , and occupying im-iiftlis of the _frontage . At each side was a wing of about 40 feet , aud of only one story . It would seem as if the whirlwind gained strength in _thevallcy , or reserved itself for ihe grand blow at this factory . In the first thirteen people perished ; in the second fifteen . If it hail proceeded hi a right Jine afterwards , it would nest have ei ' _-ccuatcred thc gable end of tha iinc building of il . _ricquot , hut instead of doing so it made the sharp turn to the r ight , took breath , and coming back , made its irresistible assault upon the body of the factory . So extraordinary was its fores at tliis point tliat a stack of chimneys on the left wing was broken across a few feet above its low roof . Portions of it wore , wilh the zinc covcrir . * ' of thc roof , blown orer flic mill stream , a
distance of forty or fifty yams . Disdaining the wings ( althoug h in its previous course it had Ucsecnde-d to crush very humble shrubs ) , and _couceutratiag its force , the whirlw . n which , as every appearance suggests was ahout the exact breadth of tlie factory , rushed upon it , nntHiter . il *} _-hlew it from its foundation . Hardl y checked lry thc opposition of brick walls , it essayed tlie mountain in the rear . Here the resistance was real and effective , although the wrecks cf trees on the sides of the hill showthat ihe onset was furious , _Hallying and making a sudden tarn to theright itrcsuinedits original direction , * and tore along tlie valley nearly to its termination , and then Tose v . p tlie side of tlie western mountain , destroying or maiming trees in its way . At thc summit it blew dora _m-snr , and a little on the descent at _t-ie other
ride it demolished a Irani , rushed down thc hill , and hefore pursuing its way along that valley unroofed and damaged the paper-mill of a M . Duval . The time occupied hy the devastation I have so faintly depicted was , irom its reaching thc top of the ravine on tlie eastern side of die valley ( at St . 3 iauricc } until the completion of its disastrous mission , a minute and a quarter . The distance through which I have followed it is somewhat more than n mile . Leaving ; out of view ihe _aspect ofthe valley after the departure of the whirlwind , the scene of desolation it had xiroduccd was almost indescribable .- Three immense buildings , crowded from the ground to ( lie roof with machinery , materials , aad hundreds of human beings , reduced to one confused mass of wreck . The sight was horrifjinir . The workpeople
ofthe other ( adjoining ) factories , who had been struck mute witli _apprelieusion , turned , after the passage of the hurricane , their regard towards the parts of iho valley where had stood the neighbouring buildings , and were appalled hy the vacancies that offered to their view . _Ilus sensation was only momentary , however , i ' or they at once lock iu the whole disaster and rau with one accord to the rains in their respective neighbourhoods . Tire report of tho calamity fled almost as swiftly as its cause , for _inuaeuiatelyafier it had passed the whole- rural population of the country and the thousands of people employed in the factories which lie at intervals for eight or ten miles along the _road from Houeu to Malaunay , and thc garrison and inhabitants of this city , caught tlie rumour and ran to the scene of desolation , and with
common accord commenced with zeal and earnestness the work of rescue . I am to'd tliat the rapidity wilh which the _timlier , stones , bricks , machinery , and ponderous irnplemer . ts were caught np and thrown aside , iu the siv . rch for thc sufferers in agony , or dead beneath the WTjck _, was magical . Jt is true that _they had not to mount high to seize the uppermost wreck , for all was laid low . The masses of brickwork , beam ? , some of than _2 'J fret long and 16 or IS inches square , hags of cotton , iron bars , portions of steam-engines , weighing many hundreds ef pounds , were instantaneously caught np and removed . Deneath them were foaml , as well as I can learn , nearly 250 humnn _beings of all a _. 'es , and both seses . A few—a very few , already
dead . The rest were bruised , wounded , crashed , disfigured , mutilated . Either the storm that continued to ra _^ _-e . and the rain that now began to pour , droivued the groans and moans of the victims , for they were unable to nttei a cry ; but true it is that few cries were heard , ohhough tlie labours of those who toiled to relieve them were carried on in almost deathlike silence . The description ef their appearance , which 1 had from many of those engaged in rescuing ther . i , is too horrible to _j-ejiKit . _Xtariy two hundred of the wounded were _removal in carriages to the hospital of ltouen . A few still remain in the cottages in the neighbourhood of the _ui-. -. _sie-r , some of them mortally wounded . Ahcady G 5 arc dead—81 positively , and four still missing , supposed to he buried under masses of wall thrown into ihe river .
Tins visitation was attended by some interesting and extraordinary episodes . M . Marc , a young man , theproprietor of the first factory attacked , was alarmed by the _superaatural noise in the air that preceded the blow , and , _imagining tliat lire had occurred , ran out ofthe building , and thus escaped death ; but his _hjalih is visibly impaired by the shock . Several men who followed or were thrown out of thc factory were hilled by the mass of matter that fell , or was blown upon them . In thc factory of M . l * _ieo , uot eight or ten men were , with the walls of the bullring , blown many yards off , and escaped with only some bruises . Twenty-four hours after Use disaster , a little girl , of eleven years , was found in a basket under tlie _ruius , fast asleep , and almost unhurt , the poor child hsvinj . ' , from thc fatigue of crying , possibly fallen asleep .
( Fro :: _\ the _JksasrioH dc J ? ci > ai of Fri & ay . J The cloning away of the ruins ofthe three manufactories is cuuu'leteu , aud thc detachments of the troops of the line returned info tlie town yesterday : — The Snal nnmher of the dead bodies dug out from the ruins is 75 . The number of the wounded , as we said yesterday , is from 150 to 170- Besides the 73 dead bodies dug out from among the ruius , wc have to add a certain number of wounded who have died , and many others are so dangerously hurt that there is little hope of saving them . It is impossible to praise too highly M . Slaweski , the civil engineer belonging to the administration of , the mines at Kouen . no directed the labours of tiic workmen and soldiers at M . Picquot ' s manufactory with tlie greatest zeal . He was forty-eight hours on the ' spot , and did not go away until it was ascertained that no more victims could be found among the ruius .
The search was not finished until three p . m ., when , upon reference to the registers of the establishment , it was ascertained that no more persons were missing . The examinations having been most scrupulously made , it -was found that at the moment of the misfortune there were 1 C 3 persons at the time of tlie disaster in M . Picquot ' s establishment . Among the details of this melanchol y calculation are the f-llowing : —33 dead , three of whom were found on the night of the 19 th , four on the 20 th , and one yesterday ; 58 were severely wounded , and the rest saved ; or at least few of them were _seridusl y hurt . The wounded in this establishment were the most numerous , and . in _jteneral , the most severely injured . M Dupont _Delaporfe arrived from Ea during fhe ~ o . . _» " > rest , ue rose , however , soon , aud

accompanied by M . TougarJ , counsellor ofthe prefeture , visited all the points of the disaster . He gave orders at his hotel to furnish everything for the service of the unfortunate sufferers . Just as he got upon thc ruins two victims were found . . He afterwards visited thc sufferers in their beds , and spoke to them with the greatest affection . Accompanied by Doctors Blanche and ncllot , lie visited all the private houses to which the wounded had been carried . He then visited the owners ofthe destroyed establishments , and promised to interest thc Government in their favour . He begged the mayors of Malaunay and Monviile to spare nothing for the" comfort of the sufferers , and told them he would obtain thc sanction of the Government for defraying all fhe expenses . On his return to Itoucu he found a letter from tlie Ministry approving ali his proceedings and promising prompt succour . Subscriptions for thc relief of the sufferers have boen opened at Monviile and all the neighbouring towns .

* I now recollect that after passing over tho body of the building it had levelled , and after its impotent attempt iljo'i fhe hills in the war , thc wind appears to have returned and passed rcuiid a corner of thc factory , and unrosfed au adjoining building .

_KORTHEItN CIRCUIT . _Livssrooi , Accust 22 . _—Chaiioe o ? Mcbder . — IIowniiLE Cbotitv . —George Hill was indicted for the murder of Ueu _Jouson , an African or Kroomau , on the night between thc 1 st and 2 d of May , ou board the brig Challenge . Mr . Brandt and Mr . Patchctt prosecuted -, the prisoner was defended hy Mr . AViikiiisamiMr . James . The prisoner was tho commander of the brig Challenge , which had proceeded from Liverpool to flic coast of Africa ; on thc return voyage , in Pebruary last , in consequence of a want of hands , and the impossibility of obtaining _Btiro-Vttiv . s , the deceased , _Bi-Vi Jouson , was shipped . In May , on the night between ihe first and seiond , the deceased was in a night-watch , of which his companions were Win . Angus , seaman and cooper , the second mate , and
Win . Lyons , an apprentice . At that time , about four in the morning , the p risoner was in his bed . The deceased , who was about thirty years of age , being tired , shirked his duty , went aud sat down on the coouihings ofthe companion stairs and fell asleep : while asleep he overbalanced himself and fell down the stairs—a height of about seven feet . Making a great noise in the descent , his fall was heard by those on deck , and also by the captain , who immediately called out to inquire the cause of it . Holmes , the second mate , called out to Angus to come and lend a hand to pick Ben up . Angus , fearing chastisement of the deceased ou account ofhis neglect or duty , went to the top ofthe companion-stairs and called lain to come up quickly . He rose from off thc boards and went up , but proceeding slow iy _An-. -us took hold of the collar of his
jacket and assisted him . When he got on deck he leaned against the companion , and then went to the larboard side and Jay down again , apparently in sleep , under the hurricane deck . Shortly afterwards the captain came on deck , in great anger , and called out , " Where is that fellow ! " Angus pointed to the Krooman , and thc pri . soner then went , got the rope ' s end , whidi teas kept for the express purposeofflcyg ing those cf the crew uho incurred the captain ' s displeasure , aud commenced flogging the deceased ; at the first blow he wheeled himself round , and tried to get away from under the hurricane-deck , but was hauled down by the prisoner and again flogged and kicked in a most ferocious manner for about a quarter of an hour , during which time the deceased had several limes screamed , as if in agony . The prisoner afterwards
saying that the rope ' s-end was wot strong _cuough to make him get up , went and got a canoe-paddle , au implement lengthy and strong , which tapers at one end , and is flat at the other , aud returning tc the place where deceased still lay , beat him with the paddle , aud so violently , that it broke in his hand into several pieces . He then , seeing his efioris were useless in causing deceased togct sip , called to Angus , and told him " to drag him out of that , " and he himself walked away forward . Angus got a bucketful of water aud threw it over thc deceased , who was lying with his face on the deck . Thc moon was not cut , but a lantern _-irliieh was brought and the light in the binnacle enabled Angus to see that the body and the deck around it were covered with blood . lie also heard a gurgling noise as if the blood was spurting out . There was also " a snorting
noise as if there was something in the nostrils , " and hearing Ibis the _capiain shouted , "If you don ' t stop that I'll give yoa some mere of it . " Angus lifted deceased up , and carrying him laid him down forward ? , war the windlass . At about eight o ' clock iu the morning the captain asked thc first mate , "How Ben was after his rope ' s ending ?" The captain _ordered Friar's balsam and spirit of hartshorn to be applied . The cook , Daniel Phillips , a man of colour . expressed his fear that thc deceased was dying , but thc captain said , " Tut tut ; how many men do you see in Liverpool without noses V During the morning all the crew , as well as the captain , saw the body , and life being unquestionably extinct , it was at about twelve o ' clock thrown overboard . It was covered with blood , lhe hair matted , the jaw broken , a fearful gash on thc
throat , aud the nose cat in two—all thc natural results of the prisoner having struck him with the edge of the fiat cud of the paddle . Hefore the deceased had bceu thrown overboard , there was a conversation between the captain , Wm . _Ititsoii , the lirst zr . ale , an-1 several of the crew , as to whether deceased had died from the effects ofthe injuries inflicted by thc former ; and then the captain had declared that he was sure that the neck was broken by the fall down the companion stairs . The captain directed the cook to feel in deceased ' s nock to see if there was not a bone sticking out . Tlie cook said , " Xo , sir , 1 don't think it is . " Thc captain answered , " 0 , d—n it , say it is , for fear they might haul me up when I get to Liverpool . " Kitson , the mate , some time afterwards , niadconttliclogontheslatc , aud then had halfcopicditinto
tlie log-bock , as usual , when lhe captain stopped hits , took the slate , rubbed out what had been written , and substituted another statement of his own , commanding his mate to copy that and uo other . This Ritson did . It stated what appeared in the evidence , that " A Krooboy , named Hon Jonson , having fallen asleep on thc companion ladder , fell headlong down into the cabin : * ' this was written by _ilu first mine , and the captain's dictation went on to say , that he had been picked up groaning and taken ou deck ; that in the morning the captain had given him three or four lashes with a rope's end , as a punishment ; that afterwards he had unfortunately died , and that the captain had said he must have broken his neck in the fall—as a proof confirmatory of which , his
neck hone had been starting from the skin . Mr . i \ ilUms addressed thejury for the defence . His Lordship summed up . The jury left the court to deliberate upon their verdict , and after an absence cf an hour and forty minutes returned a verdict of—Guilty of Manslaughter . The prisoner , on being called upon to say why judgment should not he passed _upoti him , according to law , said : — " It appears pretty evident it will be of no avail what I may say . You arc ahout to punish a man as free from the guilt of thc charge as any one iu court . " His Lordship said : —Tlie sentence cf the Court was , that he should be transported to such place ns her Majesty , by thc advice of her Privy Council , should think fit for thc turn of his . natural life .
Commemoration Of The Liberation Op Pearg...
_COMMEMORATION OF THE _LIBERATION OP PEARGUS _O'COXSSOR , ESQ ., Fil ( m YORK CASTLE . On Wednesday evening last a numerous party of the Dcptford and Greenwich Chartists , together with some friends from Loudon , sat down to an excellent supper in commemoration of thu above event , at the George and Dragon , Ulaclvliealli-liill . -Jr . _Jviass Hahxev was called to the chair , and presided on the occasion . The supper having hcen disposed of , and the clotli removed , the _Cjuijiiun- _Hiid—It was customary when the aristocracy or tlieir partisans assembled together on festive occasions to commence their toasts with " Church and _Qiieou . * ' The Ci : _ure- !> vras , no Uouht , an excellent
church f jr hungry vicars , bishops , aud ardihishojis , hut a very poor church for those who had nothing lo do with it hat to pay church-rates and Easter dues . ( llear , hear . } One of their excellent friends of the Deptford locality was at the present time engaged in resisting those odious impusts . ( Cheers . } Such a . toast , then , would meet with no favour in iheir eyes . ( Hear , hear . ) "With respect to monarchy , when persons reflected how ably a people could he governed hy such men as the lute General Jackson , fov a few thousands a year , they would he quite willing to he rid of the follies and _fopptries of monarchy . ( Loud cheers . ) The House of Commons was the real rulimr power in this country ; hut its members cid not iiass their nefarious acts in theiv own
names , hut in those of the Queen , or the three estates . As to the Queen , she could do no wrong—and , he would add , of course she could do no right . ( Cheers . ) Ministers were responsible for the acts of the Sovereign ; but when you came to inquire as to their responsibility , Sir 11 . 1 _'cel said "he was responsible to God and his own conscience . " For his own part , he had uo objection to full-grown babes being amused twice a year with the gilded glittering processions of royal puppets ; but lie did object to sensible men being called on to pay for them . He called on them , therefore , to respect themselves , to honour their own order ; and to that end to accept as their first sentiment , " The Sovereignty of thc People . " The toast was drank with all the honcurs .
Thc _Cmaibsiax said thc next toast was the toast of the evening—it alluded to the liberation of Feargus O'Connor from York Castle , lie hail the honour to be appointed as the delegate representing the people of Sheffield ou the occasion ofthe release of Jlr . O'Connor , and thc welcome that gentleman received at the Castle gates of York . The true friends of Jlr . O'Connor were not sycophants , who were always ready to fawn and flatter—hut thc honcstmen nho would set him right when they thought he was wrong , hut would meet his enemies in sternest opposition . The men of independent souls were the true friends of 3 Ir . O'Connor ; and that truth that gentleman knew , A long experiencehad _taught him who were bis real friends . This was a most happy
commemoration , not only of Mr . O'Connor's liberation from a Whig dungeon , but of his glorious triumph over the atrocious slanders , invented by the false friends of equality . One of these slanders was , that 3 Ir . O'Connor betrayed John Frost ; the authors and abettors of that lie , knew * it to he a lie , a wicked , abominable , foul , and damnable lie . ( Cheers . ) Hut these assassins had their meet reward in the detestation in which they were held by the true and unfaltering democrats . Mr . O'Connor had been recently lecturing through Yorkshire on the Chartist land plan , and they knew with what glorious results . "Well , he was not opposed—none of his enemies and ours encountered him in fair discussiondid not attempt to set liim right if they thought him wrong—nothing of this sort , for they were not capable
of playing so straightforward a part : but ono of them , the chief of these unscrupulous assassins , craivlcd after Mr . O'Connor , and when Mr . O'Connor had left a town where he had been lecturing , then in crawled thc prime delusionist and mischicf-mitkci _* , and announced his lectures on thc "fallacies of Feargus O'Connor ' s Land Scheme . " ( Cries of " That ' s Jemmy O'Brien . " ) These arch-enemies of Chartism pretended to ground their dirty opposition on what they called "firstprinciples . " He ( the chairman ) was a first-princi ple man . He abhorred land-robbers , profitmongers , and every other description of pestiferous plunderers and usurpers . . His creed was — and Thomas Spence had taught it him—that" thc Land is thc people ' s farm , " and that it belongs to the entire nation , not to Individuals or classes . But what a fool he should be if he could not
get entire justice at one grasp , that , therefore , he would he content to snarl and get nothing . Tho Charter was not all in the way of political reform he wanted ; but the Charter was tlie great means to greater ends . The Chartist Land plan was not all that would content him ; but it was calculated to teach the people the value of the -land , and wou . d , if _propcily carried out , hasten the time when the people would insist on a return to first principles . He had much pleasure in giving the toast as placed in his hands— " Feargus O'Connor , the victim of Whig misrule in York Castle ; the dread of ali tyrants ; thc friend of all patriots ; wc meet to celebrate the fourth anniversary of his liberation , " The toast was drank with immense applause .
1 _U-. II . Ross , in _rispondinjr , said he thought _evei-v scnsiblc man would give his meed of praise so justly due to Mr . O'Connor for his consistency and perseverance in his manly attempts to establish tho soverei gnty of thc pco _]) le , without any dread of being called " tool" or " worshipper . " lie thought it the duty of the people tc support Jlr . O'Connor in liis righteous course and noble undertakings . The CnAiHMAN next gave " The Charter , may wo all live to see its blessings enjoyed throughout the Uritish Dominions , and its principles established throughout the world . " ( Great cheering )
Mr . T . CoorEK , in responding , said he had been much pleased with the former toasts , hut ho was still more pleased with the present , as it was for thc Charter lie had suffered imprisonment—for recommending the people lo cease work until they obtained their Charter ; and sure he was that it would bring blessings in its train . Thc aristocracy did not like the word Charter , because there was power in it . "Well , then , let the people toast the Charter at all convivial meetings , speak ofit everywhere , and give it more power still . ( Loud cheers . ) It was the people that must carry the Charter . _Uisliops or Icings would not do it , for _tlnjy knew that when the Charter became law , away went all tlieir tinsel , glitter , and gewgaw . ( Hear , hear , and loud cheers . ) Let them stand fast by the name of the Charter , and never desert it . There is no hope for the millions save in thc Charter . ( Grcatcheering . )
The _CiiAiitMAN then gave— "The Chartist Co-operative Land Society—may it produce all fhe good which its founders aud supporters anticipate . " Drank with great enthusiasm . Mr . Ciuio . es Bolweli , responded in a lengthy address , descanting ou thc excellencies of thc Laud plan and its perfect accordance with thc great obj ect of the agitationthe Charter , lie showed the advance of democratic principles of late years , im < J predicted a speedy triumph for those principles . Mr , Holweli's address was warmly applauded . The next sentiment given hy the chairman was— " Tlie Ladies , " to which Jlr . Shaw responded iu a humorous and happy address . The Chairman then gave "tho speedy restoration of Frost , "Williams , Jones , and Ellis . "
Mr . Suaw suid he had received a letter from lies . Ellis , complaining of great distress . Mr . _Ccoi'Eit said he had seen the letters alluded to , and would wish to sec a veteran Patriot Fund established . He was also determined to use all his endeavours to procure the means of support for poor Mrs . Ellis . Mr . T . M . "Wheeler then responded to the toast , and said they would indeed be wanting in gratitude did they not exert themselves to fhe utmost to obtain the return of those who had done and sacrificed so much fov father _, laud . ( Loud cheers . ) They had indeed- kindled a fire of patriotism which still continued to burn in the breast ofthe millions , No one would experience greater " pleasure than himself iu seeing a Veteran Patriots' Fund established , and the _wilows of the exiles supported , ( loud cheers ); and he would give such a project all the help he could .
The Ciiakmas , after some appropriate remarks which were received with much cnthuiasm , gave— " The immortal memory of Yfnt Tyler , and all who have perished in prison , in exile , on the scaffold , or the field , fer the establishment of the rights of man . " Tho toast was drank with repeated rounds of applause . The next sentiment was— " The health of T . S , Duncomb ? , M . P ., the people ' s friend and champion . " The "health of the chairman" concluded the toasts . In the course of the evening a number of patriotic songs were sung . At an hour somewhat advanced towards cock-crow the proceedings terminated , all . being highly gratified with thc night's entertainment .

_Maxslauchteu . —At the Central Criminal Court on Monday a powerful young man , named Michael Carroll , about 30 or 35 years of age , was indicted for feloniousl _y lulling or slaying James Bristow , by striking him on the head with an iron poker , and inflicting an injury whereof lie lingered and died . From the evidence of a number of witnesses , it was proved that the prisoner , who is a labourer , working at St . Mary , Stratford , had a quarrel on thc morning of thc 10 th August , about one o ' clock , with another labourer named 'Williams , which , after an exchange of bard words , terminated in a _iiglit . Several persons of Williams ' s party came to his assistance , and amongst them the prisoner suffered a severe bcatins .
As soon as he could get away ho went in search of a weapon , and having procured a poker , he returned to tbe scene of action , loudly vowing vengeance . Thus armed and raging , ho walked about for some time brandishing the poker , until the unfortunate deceased , who was peaceably going home , and had nothing whatever to tlo with Carrol ) , or the previous row , came in the infuriated man ' s way , and was struck twice upon the head with the poker . Of these wounds he died at eight o ' clock on the samo morning . The jury found the prisoner Guilty . The Common Serjeant , in sentencing the prisoner to seven years' transportation , expressed his opinion that he ought to have been indicted for wilful murder .
Ihe Alleged _Muhdeu at _ItoinEnniTiiE . —Tlie inquest , adjourned from Thursday last , on the bodv ofthe unfortunate woman , Ellen Tyrrell , who was found in thc Grand Surrey Canal under such circumstances as led to the apprehension of a man named John White , and liis remand in Horsenioiiger-liine gaol , was resumed on Monday . Several witnesses were examined , the principal part of whose evidence did not throw much light on thc affair . Upon thc court being opened , Bridget Maliony , a little girl , was called , who , upon being questioned by the Coroner regarding the nature of an oath , answered very satisfactorily : but on the Coroner telling her sh t b
e muse sworn she burst into tears , stating that she must not be sworn , as her father had threatened to turn her out of doors if she took an oath . She said she saw her father on Saturday last when he so threatened her . The Coroner said he had been iiiiormed that violence towards the child had been threatened if she gave any evidence . There was no doubt the child had been tutored He ( the Coroner ) would however , not examine her until the last . Michac Shea , residing in Green Bank , _tapping deposed that he is a _coal-whippev . Had knowH White ior four years . On Monday , the 11 th instant . witness , White , and two others , were drinking together m a public-house in _Wapnine . wnll _l- _™ t

White attempted tosnatch the box when a jostle occurred , but whether he scratched his face witness could not tell . He did not observe " scratch , although lie was in his _comnanv for two hours afterwards . White , however , did ' not complain ot having his face scratched . Witness did not < _-cc lum again until the following Friday , when , observing his face scratched , asked him ' how lie « ot it ) Vhite said "By the button of your coat , _Whilst _jostling for the tobacco-box . " The witness _subs--quentlyadmittedthatifWhitehad scratched hisfacc lu . thejostle , although he was not sober atthe time he must have observed it . Police-constable Wm Kcclev 175 K , deposed thaton Tuesday week the person In custody named White was given in charce to liim for
murdering Men ' lyrrcll . On the road to the station-house White said , that on the previous Wednesday he met the deceased with Hogan and wife and two other persons , strangers to him . After haviii _* three pints of gin he crossed the water with deceased and the two strangers over to Rotherhithe . On landinc they went to the Royal Oak , where they had half a pint of gin , when a quarrel arose relative to a broken glass , _duriug which deceased and himself left . On coming out , White directed her towards tlie Blue Anchor , _vhen . deceased said she did not want to go

that road as she lived towards Dcptford ; they then turned towards Dcptford , and that he accompanied her about twenty rods in that direction , when he left her ; she was very drunk , and could not walk more than half a dozen yards without staggering . —P . C . Wiseman , 150 K > deposed that ho accompanied thc last witness to the Rotherhithe police-station , having White iii custody . When there he repeated tbe same story as stated by the last witness lveelcy . Witness has since measured the distance from the Royal Oak to the Red Lion public-house , being a distance of live furlongs twenty poles ; __ from the Red Lion to Knocker ' s-lane-bridge being lour furlongs eight poles , and thence to where the body was found sixteen poles _. Witness had also measured the fence at Jerry Stylo's house , and found it to be seven feet three inches in
hci'dif . At the station-house witness observed two scratches on White ' s face , which he said __ wero occasioned in a struggle to obtain the possession of a tobaeco-box from one of his mates named Shea . The total distance from the lloyal Oak to where thc body was found was one mile two furlongs four poles . Charles Yarrow , a brass-founder at Burnett and Copes ' , at Dcptford , deposed that he resides in London . On Tuesday morning last-, about a quarter past four , witness was " coming down to his work by the side of the Greenwich Railway , when having occasion to go underneath one of the archways , _Ko . 520 , he found a white straw bonnet without ribbon , and a little broken in tho front . There was no blood upon it , anil tiic young man who was coining down thc road with witness took the bonnet . "Witness does not know his name , or where he works , but lie had the appearance of being an engineer . The
bonnet , in witness ' s opinion , had evidently been placed there for concealment , and had evidently not been in tlie water . The room having been cleared , after a consultation of about half an hour , was re-opened , when the Coroner stated that , iu consequence of the finding of the bonnet , and other little matters , which would throw considerable light on this suspicious case , the inquest must stand further adjourned until Friday . The adjourned inquest was resumed on _p _' ridav , at thc New Cross Inn . John "White , tlie man suspected of the murder , on being cautioned by the Coroner , entered into a long detail of circumstances similar to what he had stated before the police magistrate , which did not tally with the evidence given by several of the former witnesses . There being no further evidence , the jury returned a verdict ot " Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown , "
Axotiieu Fatal Railway AccrDE . vr . —An accident , resulting fatally , occurred on Tuesday night on the Newcastle and North Shields Railway , the particulars of which , as far as we can gather , arc as follow : —When thc train , which left Newcastle at half-past nine- o ' clock , was proceeding at the usual pace , it came in contact with a man , apparently a labourer , but totally unconnected with the railway , between the Waltsend and Walker Stations , aud knocked him down , nearly severing the legs from the body , and lulling him on thc spot . Thc unfortunate _sin'lcrcr , it appears , had been trespassing on the line , and did not observe the engine till ioo late to escape . Thc body , which was sadly mutilated , was soon afterwards brought to the station-house at Newcastle , te be claimed by the relatives . No blame , we believe , is attachable to tho engine driver , as , owing to the darkness of the liight and the position of the deceased , tho melancholy occurrence was unavoidble . — ZViie Jforciirif ,
ACCIDEXT A . \ _'D NaIMOW ESCAI'F . 0 _N THeToUK AND _ScAitniio' Railway . —Thc 12 . 15 train , consisting of about fifteen carriages , and occupied by upwards of 300 passengers , left the York station at about the usual time on Monday at neon . The train was drawn by the Buncombe engine , and in addition to the passengers' carriages , there was a covered waggon , or road parcels carriage , which was placed next the tender . The train proceeded at its _ordinary speed , and nothing unusual transpired until within from two to three- hundred yards of the Kirkham station , where there arc some very awkward curves , and where Iho lino is exceedingly dangerous from thc looseness ofthe soil forming the embankment , which is principally composed of sand . —This part of the
railway , which is at the foot of the Whitwcll estate , is exactly opposite Kirkham Abbey , from which it is separated by thc river Dcrwcnt . In endeavouring to to pass along this part of the line , the engine and tender , together with the luggage waggon before alluded to , anil a second class carriage ran oft ' thc rails , and were partly embedded in the adjoining embankment . The greatest alarm and confusion immediately ensued , in tho midst of which heart-rending cries for assistance of some one was heard . Attention was immediately directed to the broken carriage , when it was discovered that a plate layer , who had been travelling in it , had received very serious injury _, lie was immediately removed to tho house of ' a neighbouring farmer named Warwick . —Mr . Cabrey ,
the resident engineer in York to the above company , was close to the engine-driver at the time of the accident , and was thrown on to thc side of thc embankment , but from the soft state of the soil , he escaped with trifling in jury . —The guard , whose name is Cowburn , and who had been merely put on as extra guard , sustained a slight fracture of one of his legs , but after a short delay at the Kirkham station-house , ho was removed * to Mai ton . No other personal injury was occasioned by the accident , and a messenger having been despatched to Malton with intelligence ofthe occurrence , another engine was procured , End the passengers proceeded oiftheir journey . In themcantimo it had been ascertained that tiic unfortunate individual taken from
the luggage waggon was very severely hurt , and Mr . Sigston _, ofWclburii , and Mr , _Bartlill _^ of Malton , surgeons , were sent i ' or . Thc sufferer gave his name Joseph Strong , of Shildon _, near Darlington , and stated that he had been in tho employment of the railway company incjucstion , as a plate layer , for about live weeks , having been engaged in a similar capacity near Darlington , for a period of upwards of seven years . On the medical gentlemen before named arriving at the house of Mr . Warwick , they discovered that Strong had each of his thighs fractured in two different places , besides ono of them bcin < r much contused , and from which a very considerable quantity of blood was taken . The usual remedies available under the circumstances were applied , and on visiting their patient on the following morning tlie surgeons declared the appearances favourable . It is very providential that the engine elid not run
off the line on the contrary side to whete thc occurrence took place , as ia that case the greater part , if not the whole ofthe train , must inevitably have been precipitated down the declivity into thc river . Immediately after the departure of the train for Seavbi'o' active preparations were commenced for remedying the defects in the rails , etc ., and also for removing thc broken carriages , engine , and tender . We understand that when Strong completed his week ' s labour on Saturday last , he proceeded to York , where he had previously arranged to meet his wife , and that in returning to his employment on Monday , he had concealed himself in thc luggage waggon in order __ to avoid paying the usual fare , although , we arc informed , such charge would have been dispensed with providing he had made proper application , on account ofhis being in the service of the company .
DlSTRESSIXO OCCUEIIEXCE AT DuXlSAn—A _lllOst distressing catastrophe occurred here yesterday ( Wednesday ) , by whicli ten individuals have been drowned . The Red Rover fishing-boat , of Buckhaven , with a crew of six men , William Thompson , master , in taking the old harbour , about mitl ' way , was driven among thc racks and totally wrecked . Three of the crew were instantly drowned . The master got on to a rock and was saved . 11 is brother reached a small rock , near the iron pole , which is surrounded by deep water , and covered at full tide , against which the sea was fearfully breaking . Many fruitless attempts were made to rescue him . As a last attempt Lieutenant Wylde , ofthe preventive service ; Mr . Lucas , chief boatman , wilh four
_seatavmg men belonging to thc town , whose names were David Darg , Peter Darg , William Miller , and William Cement , volunteered their services , and in a fishing-boat ; boldly ventured out . They had nearly reached the rock when thc poor roan was washed oft ' , but he kept up for a short time and neaved the boat . Thc crew had almost succeeded in catching his hand , when a sea struck the boat and drove it among the rocks behind the pier , where , melancholy to mention , it was dashed to pieces , and the whole crew drowned . The object of their solicitude was carried to sea , and met the same fate . It is distressing to think of the extent of affliction which this fearful event has occasioned . Lieutenant Wylde , Mr . Lucas , rctei _* Darg , and William Clement , were married men , and
all ot them , except Mr . Lucas , have left families . The two former were excellent seamen , and much respected in Dunbar . The state of excitement and gloom which this melancholy occurrence has occasioned among all classes is very great . It is not known what caused tho Red Rover to attempt Dunbar with such a fearful swell in shore . She hail not been fishing there for some days , and not more than six boats belonging to the station had ventured to thc fishing-ground on the preceding evening It is thought she was well fished , and from the circumstances o lew Dunbar boats being out , expected a more ready market for her cavgo .-Edinburgh flerald _LXPLOSipX AT _BlSnOl'WEARMOUTII IrOXWOIIKS . — On Iliiii'suay the 21 st inst ., an inquest was held at Sunder and , before Mr .

They wero removed to Bishopwearmoutii Infirmary , and now lie in a very precarious state . Had any other persons been near the furnace , they must have been killed b y the explosion . Thc jury , after hearing the above facts , returned a verdict of " Accidental death . " Deeadful Suicide . —On Friday week Dr . M'Carthy , county coroner , held an inquest at Rafhinihes , near Dublin , on view of thc body of Mr . Frederick Howard , a gentleman of property , who resided there , and who liad shot himself that morning about twelve o ' clock with a gun . Thc greatest excitement prevailed in
thc neighbourhood , and a large crowd of persons was collected about thc place . The body presented an awful appearance ; the head was almost literally blown off the shoulders , and the gun was certainly placed in a curious position under thc side-board . The circumstances caused some difliciilty to the jury , as they could not well account for the position ofthe gun . ' It appeared that the deceased pushed the trigger with the ramrod , aud so violent was the shock , that thc stock was torn from thc piece , and a quantity of shot ( with whicli the gun was loaded ) entered tlie ceiling . Death must have been quite instantaneous . Deceased was well known in thc county and city , and was a grand juror in both . A number of witnesses were examined , who deposed , apparently Avith sufficient clearness , to the fact of the
deceased having been for some time of unsound mijul ; that he imagined that a conspiracy existed against him ; and that he had stated in the previous week that he did not think any man safe from the "spying system" that was practised by the police . _Thejury , however , found thc following verdict -, — " We find that the said Frederick Howard was found elcad in the back breakfast parlour , on Friday , August 22 , with thc brains of his head fractured on the right side , and several blood-vessels ruptured , then lying in his house at Ratlimines , in the county of Dublin ; that his death was caused by leaden shot , No . 5 , fired from a gun or pistol , but whether said shot was fired by deceased in an unsound state of mind , or by the hand of another person , said jury cannot say . " It was half-past two o ' clock when the jury were discharged . —Dublin Paper .
Ikcexdiaut Fire at _Folkixgifam . — At __ three o'clock on Sunday morning tho inhabitants of Folkindiam , in the county of Lincoln , were suddenly alarmed by a cry of " Fire ! " and great numbers rose irom their beds and rushed to the extensive stack-yard and premises at the back- ofthe Greyhound Inn , occupied by Mr . Casswell , where they found a largo granar y filled with oats enveloped in flames , threatening inevitable destruction to thc several surrounding stacks of newly got in hay . Water from a neighbouring well , supplied in abundance thc excellent engine provided for thc town by Sir G . Hoathcotc ; and to tliis circumstance , combined with thc wet state _i f the stacks , owing to the heavy rain which hud been falling without intermission for two hours , may lie attributed thc preservation of property
_nmoimthg in value to several thousand pounds . The lire for a considerable period raged with unabated fury , rciiecting an immense light i ' or miles around , but happily it was confined to the building and the materials inside it . __ llow this mischief occurred is not known , but from the circumstance of thc building being locked up it is very strongly conjectured to have been the act of an incendiary . Suspicion fell upon some Irish labourers in the neighbourhood , with whom some unpleasantness had taken place a day or two before ; there , however , was no proof sufficient to warrant their apprehension . Tlie alarm was given by Thomas Burrows , keeper of the New Inn tap , which is contiguous to the stack-yard . This is the second fire that has taken place upon nearly the same spot within a few months .
Destructive Fire at Pbckuam . —On Monday night , between the hours of eight and nine o ' clock , a fee broke out in the back premises belonging to Mr . Wm . Walton , corn-dealer , situate in Iligli-strcct , Peckham . It originated in thc stabling , immediately at the rear of the dwelling-house . Owing , however , to the great scarcity of water and the highly combustible nature of the stock , it was with the utmost difficulty that tlio horses could bc rescued ; as it was , one of the animals , a very spirited and valuable one , was severely burned . From Mr . Walton's buildings the flames extended to the outhouses of Mr . James Loire , and from thence to the stabling in thc occupation of Mr . Howard , a carpenter and joiner , the whole of which at one time were blazing away with the greatest fury , threatening destruction to thc front dwelling-houses . The inhabitant's and firemen at length succeeded , with the aid of buckets of water , and by pulling down some contiguous sheds , in extinguishing the flames . The damage , however , is very considerable .

Those of them who have before witnessed tho performance of this tragedy at other houses , nnd by other actors , will confess that , on tho whole , they never saw it more effectively played , nor the characters therein more faithfully represented . Those who have not already seen this tragedy acted elsewhere , will , we ca » assure them , reap an intellectual enjoyment , and receive
impressions winch they will never forget . _Jirs . Warner ' s performance of Lady Macbeth no description can do justice to , and no praise can siifiiciciuly express our conscientious admiration of . From lirst to last , her acting appears a fearful reality , war . iin *;' nothing to make perfect this dreadful embodiment of female ambition and crime . Mr . Phelps' performance of Macbeth is almost as faultless and ' excellent ; so excellent that wc must decline noticing one or two not very important imperfections , la the banquet scene Mr . Phelps is truly great , and in the concluding scenes generally , he " performs the character with that truthfulness and talent which fairly entitle him to unbounded praise , Mr . _Mai'Mon ably plays thc part of Macduff , liis alarm ami horror upon discovering thc murder "f the king is a most able piece of acting . Mr . G . Bennett aiways plays well , and liis performance of _Danquo ( Iocs Iu'in no discredit . Duncan is also well plavcd by Mr . Mellon . Indeed , the entire company pevfovm
