Dehby , FtraiHEs Accidents , —Satueday Night "J " ? eTenin * a ooHision took place between two cofce trains within a mile or two of Derby , which though not attended with Iosb of life , smashed one of the engines to pieces , and did considerable damage besides . It appears that the engine of the first coke tram could not get along (^ common occurrecoe since the change of the enginemen , owing to the reduction of wages ) , and the consequence was that before reaching Derby , another coke train overtook it . Tha enard on the first train exhibited the sigui light , frhich is s glaring red light , but Btil ]

the train approached nearer and nearer without any abatement of the speed , and the guard had ! only just time to jump off the first train , when a tremendous collision' took place , and the engine of the second train was shattered . No lives were lost . Yesterday we had narrow escape of a dreadful calamity . A passenger-train was leaving the Derby station for Nottingham , when a North Midland luggage train came up ; and had it not been for the extraordinary presence of mind of the points-man , a collision must have taken place , and the passengertrain would undoubtedly have gone over the
embankment . The points-man turned the passengertrain into another line just in time to prevent the collision . Publio feeling here is very strong against the Company ; and the writer of this has IJieard many people declare that until a better regulation takes place , and more experienced drivers are put On , they will not travel by the North Midland . Stoppages on the line are frequent . A number of engines have been totally spoilt for want of management . An incendiary fire took place at the station on Thursday night . Several carriages were destroyed .

Maxims wobthy of Public Attention . —Men can bear hunger for a long time under the equator , but cold and hunger united yery soon exhaust the body . The cooling of the body , by whatever cause it may be produced , inoreases the amount of food necessary . The time -which is required to cause death by star ration depends on the amount of fat in the body , on the degree ef exercise , as in labour or exertion of any kind , and on the temperature of the air . As an immediate effect of the manifestation of
mechanical force , we see that a part of the muscu l ar substance loses its vital properties , its character of life ; and all experience proves that this conversion of living mHscular fibre into compounds destitute of vitality is accelerated or retarded according to the amount of force employed to produce motion . With the external cooling the respiratory motion becomes stronger ; in a lower temperature more oxygen is conveyed to the blood ; the waste of matter increases , and if the supply be not kept in equilibrium with this wa ? te by means of food , the temperature of tbo body gradually sinks . —Leibeg's Animal Chemisliy .

PROSECUTION FOR SABBATH BREAKING . Five cases of alleged Sabbath profanation were brought before Mr . Rushton , stipendiary magistrate , at the Liverpool Po \\ ee Court on Friday , and excited the attention of an immense number of the merchants and other inhabitants of that town , partly on account of the extraordinary aid unusual nature of the proceedings themselves , and partly becausejMr . Robertson Gladstone , ( the Mayor of the borough , and the brother of the Vice-President of the Board of Trade , ) was one of the parties mainly interested in the result . His worship occupied a seat on the right of the bench , surrounded by several gentlemen .
The first case investigated was that of Joseph Sheppard , a newaveuder , of Vauxhall Road , who had been summoned on a charge of having his shop open for the sale of the London journals and other publications , on the preceding Sunday . This was the third occasion during as many weeks , on which Sheppard had been summoned on a similar charge . On the two former occasions he had been fined in the penalty of five shillings for each offence ; but on both he informed the court that it was utterly impossible for him to meet the demands of his customers unless his shop was open on the Sunday ; that he was determined to keep it open , even though he should thereby subject himself to a 5 v penalty for every infraction of the act during the next twelve
months ; and that he could not understand why he , a poor man , should be singled out as an object of persecution , while the Mayor was permitted with impunity to ride to and from Church in his carriage , the public news-rooms of the town were kept open , and many of the more * ' respectable" of" the inhabitants were allowed to indulge themselves in other practices on the Sabbath of a like profanatory nature . Mr . Ruahton , while hb admitted tho justness of th'B line of reasoning , and the nece-sity that existed for having caution exercised on the part of those who instituted prosecutions of the kind , declared , at the same time , that ho had only to deal with such oases as raigbt happen to be brought before him , and that as infractions of the
act had taken place in that instance , the fines should be paid . Finding that he had been fined a second time , and wishing to bring the subject more at ! ara ; o before the public , Shepherd had summonses served this week upon Wm . Spence , the Mayor ' s coachman , for having driven his worship to and from church on Sunday last , and also upon John Jones , the master of the Exohango ; David Hughes , the master of the Lyceum ; and Edward Griffiths , the master of the Ather . aium newB-rooms , lor having had their respective rooms open for public amusement and instruction upon Sunday last . The case against Sheppard was first gone into . He did not deny that ho had his ehop open , but complained of the partial execution of the law against Sabbath breaking .
The information against him bad been laid by the churchwardens ; but he thought that it could not be from religiout scruples that the churchwardens had interfered , inasmuch as they had not endeavoured to put down tho whole system of Sunday trading in the town , but merely that part of it with which the humble classes were more immediately concerned . Mr . Rushton said , that whether they did their duty or not , generally , or merely interfered in isolated cases as the defendant ' s , did not affect the matter . The question was , whether , under the statute , the defendant had been either trading on the Lord's day , or following his ordinary occupation . It had been proved beyond doubt in this , as in former cases , that he had been so engaged ; and therefore the Court had nothing to do but to put the law in force .
The fine having been paid , the case agaiust Wm . Spence , the Mayor ' s coachman , was called on , when Sheppard deposed , that about a quarter to one o ' clock ou Sunday last , he was passing along , F < nwiokstreet , when he observed the defendant in the act of turning round the Mayor ' s coach—an occupation which Ithe man ordinarily followed . It wasdecided that this case did not came within the meaning of the act against Sabbath breaking , and Mr . Rushton dismissed it . The case of John Jones , the master of ths Exchange news-room , was next called on ,
whereupon Sheppard deposed that about one o ' clock on Sunday last , he went into the aforesaid news-room , having found it open , and that he considered the parties who were occupying the place to be equally liable with himself . On those grounds he had laid the information . Mr . Ruahton said , that the evidence did not sustain the information , inasmuch as Jones had not been proved to be the master of the room . Mr . Corson , solicitor , who appeared for the defence , paid he would admit that Jones was tho mas or . Mr . Rushton refused to allow the admission , and dismissed the case .
Sheppard said , that not having been able to recognise Mr . Hughes at tho Lyceum , or Mr . Griffiths at the Athenaeum news-rooms , he would relinquish the two other informations . He expres ? ed a hope , however , that from what had taken place tho public would see the odiousness of the law . Mr . Rushton said that if the law were odious , it was the duty of tho publio to petition for its repeal , and not for any inrfividua * to mention its odiousness" in presence of the bench . He thought th « law was poor ) , inasmuch as it was designed to preserve the Sabbath in the way it should be preserved . The parties then withdrew .

HUDDEB . SFlEIiD . ~ -On Saturday morning last , Mr . Thomas Rush worth , landlord at the Navigation Tavern , Shore-foot , put an end to his existance by throwing himself head first into a large tub of water on his own premises . A Jury has sat over the body and returned a verdict of " temporary insanity . " The body was interred on Wednesday . A great number attended . About Two Miles south of Huddersfield a number of ; young men or youths in the employ of several miilotjroers , professedly religious , and pillars of their respective establishments , have preferred of late years ! literary pursuits to beer house conversation , and for the prosecution of which , have contributed
to the extent of their means , money to purchase books . They regularly met , read , ' conversed and improved eaca other in the best manner they could ^ and have so far succeeded as to astonish not only their parents but all who k » ew them The surprise spread rapidly amongst the more influential , amougst whom were their respective employers , who , instead of being proud of having such { men in their employ , and supplying them with the means of extending their pursuits , not only condemned their intellectual acquirements , but issued- a declaration to their parents to the effect that if they allowed their sous so to improve themselves ; they would not only discharge the youths but them also . —Correspondent .

STOCKPOIiT . —Committal of Shop-livteks . —Three notorious shop- ] liters from Manchester named Thomas Goulden , alias Rynes , Sarah Goulden , a / ias Rynes , his wife , and Eliza Williams , alias Barlow , were detected whilst ou a professional visit to this town , on Friday last . On the forenoon of that day , the two females went into the shop of Mr . J . J . Moody , draper . Lower Hillgate , and requested to look at some silk handkerchiefs . A variety was placed before them , and , after some delay , the prisoner Williams was observed to place a parcel
• of beven handkerchiefs , worth about 28 s . under her 1 cloak .- She was charged with the theft , at which ¦ she affected to be greatly shocked , and denied the accusation . Before she could be searched , she 1 dropped the handkerchiefs upon the floor ; and the ' other female picked them up aud placed them on 1 counter , observing that the hooks of Williams ' ! cloak { nust have caught them , and by that means ' have dragged them off the counter . Tne action i was so well observed by one of Mr . Moody ' s assisi-1 ants , that this excuse did not satisfy ; and they were ' both accordingly placed in the hands of the police . The male prisoner was afterwards apprehended in J the Market Place , by policeman Tatton , he having been Weviomly seen in their company . On his
being [ Confronted wi ; h the other prisoners at the pohee-ofnee , he denied all knowledge of them , and they stated that they had never seen him before . On their being brought before the magistrates , however , on the following day , Beveral witnesses proved having peen them all in company previous to their apprehension ; and , from their conversation , which was overheard by some of the police , whilst thty were in the lockups , their guilt and connection was proved beyond a doubt . They were all recognised as old t flinders , each having been , once or oftener conv-cted . The male prisoner , it was sa'd , had been iu Sal ford , Leeds , Hull , Carlisle , and other gaold , in addition to having been transported seven years from Chatham . They were all committed to the sessions for trial .

Imposition of Railwa y Clebks . —On Saturday last a very respectable tradesman , residing at Huddersfield , having occasion to go to Leeds , took hia fare in the third class , being 2 s . 6 d ., ng proceeded as far as the Normantou station , at which place he got out of the carriage for tho purpose of seeing his son , whom he kad brought with him thus far , safely seated in one of ths carriages attached to another train which was going up the North Midland . | By this time the Leeds train , in which he had been taken to Normanton , had left the station . This beiug the case * he fully , and very justly so , expected to be allowed to proceed to Leeds by the next train . But , behold , the officers at the station who strut about , dressed in a little brief authority ,
refused to allow him to go to the place of hi 9 destiuationj unless he would submit to take his fare o ? er again from that station , which is two shillings , and pay an-extra shilling besides ! ( Itis necessary here to observe , that the fare from Cooper Bridge to Normanton , in the third class , is three shillings and sixpence , laud two shillings from Normanton to Leeds ; but when the fare is taken through from Cooper Brdge to Leeds , it is only half a crown . ) This extra shilling was to make up tho three and sixpence as if the gentleman had only paid for proceeding to Normanton . He , however , protested against the imposition which they thus attempted to practice upou him . This drew down . upon his head a volley of abuse , accompanied with threats to have
him secured in tho lock-up ; but he was not to be intimidated with language such as that , and stoutly main'ained his right to be allowed to pursue his journey without any further impost being laid tipon him . Notwithstanding all his firmness , however , they still insisted upon his paying the extra , charge which they demanded . Again , he told them positively that he would not enter the carriage under any such disgraceful circumstances ; sooner than doso , he would walk the remainder of the way . Upon this they demanded the extra shilling for the distance he had already travelled , and told him that if he would not pay that they would take him to Wakefield ! He paid the shilling and walked away about his business . He proceeded forwards to Leeds another way , got his
business done and returned home , taking care that the Railway Officer * should not have another opportunity of picking his pocket . After he got home , he sat down and wrote to the Directors , informing them of all the circumstances of the case , and the abusive language with which he had been assailed by their servants , and asked them whether such unjust proceedjngs , on the part of those whom they employ , was in compliance with their orders . On Tuesday he received a letter , from one of the Clerks in the more immediate employ of the Directors and by their order , in which was enclosed 12 postage stamp ? , in lieu of the shilling which ho bad been compelled to
pay at Normanton . Thus , it appears , the Directors have honourably exonerated themselves from having issuet a iy such unjust law , for the purpose of being carried put by their servants , and discountenanced Kucti disgraceful proceedings as were manifested by their cierks at Normanton , towards the gentleman in question . Travellers by railway will do well to look to this ; and whenever any imposition is attempted to be practised upon them by these understrappers , let them write at once to head quarters , and expose such conduct ; where , as in this case , they will , no doubt , obtain redress . They will keep the offenders within proper restraint , and secure . to the public justice and respectful treatment . —Bradford
Observer . : The iMuuder in Wha . hfd . vlb . —This brutal affair , tho particulars of which appeared in this paper about a month ago , has , daripg the past week , been officially investigated by the magistrates , the result of which has been the committal of Joseph Hey , of Beamley , ( the person on whom suspicion was in the first instance cast , ) on a charge of wiifut * murder . Since the inquest was held , the greatest j anxiety has been felt by all , both rich and poor , that the mystery should be cleared up ; but , unfortunately , feeling both in Beamsiey and Ilkley , appears to have been against Hey ; all his actions have been canvassed , his every movement has been watched ^ and however simple tho deviation from
his usual course of conduct , it has been noted , and inferences but seldom favourable to him deduced therefrom . Reports that , evidence had been withheld by ; witnesses who were examined on the inquest , ; and that some had been mis-stated , wore in circulation freely , and having reached the ears of E . C . L . Kay «> , Esq , of Addtngham , who attended tho inquest , and has since been ungaged in endeavouring to clear the mystery up ,- he summoned other magistrates immediately to -his assistance , and held a consultation as to what course was best to adopt . This took place last Saturday , and appears to have resulted in a determination to apprehend Hey and investigate the matter again . On MoD < lay morning last , at half-past ten o ' clock ,
the investigation commenced at the Lister ' s Arms in Ilkley , tho magistrates being E . C . L . Kay , W . R . C . Stansfield , and F . Hawksworth Fawkes , Esq * . Mr .

As before , the case excited great interest . Hey was present during the wnole of the examination in the custody of England , the constable of Addingham . Two of his brothers and several relatives land fri « nds of the deceased H ustwick were also present throughout . No professional , person attended Ion behalf of the prisoner . The witnesses
called to narrate the finding Huatwick ' s body , and the other , circumstances , were precisely tho same as before ; and in fact , the evidence altogether , with the exception of one or two facts , was precisely the same as j at the inquest .

The Late Railway Accident.
THE LATE RAILWAY ACCIDENT .
Untitled Article
We stated last week that an accident had occurred to a North JvLdland train at the Bamrtey station , by which a gentleman had lost his life . Tne deceased was Mr . Robert Harvey , a commercial traveller from Glasgow . An inquest was held on his body on Friday last , at the Barnsley station , before Thos . Lee , iisq ., and the following is a summary of the evidence adduced : — William Horbury , o ! Cud worth , watchman on the North Midland Railway , at the Barn ? ley station , said , —1 saw the deceased lying under the broken rjn-r » fl « es before I went up the line . There was no whistle made or signal given by the luggage train as it was coming up . 1 should say it was coming at the rate of about twenty-five miles an hour . At that speed , and within about 100 or 150 yards of the other train , the luggage train could not be stopped without a collision . The luggage train was four hours behind its time .
Joseph Towndrow , of Royston—I am one of the porters at the Barnsley station . Immediately after the passenger train arrived 1 went out with the signal , and proceeded down to the Iron-bridge , a quarter of a mile from the station , and heard the luggage train coming . I heard the engine coming at a fast pace . The weather was foggy ; and I waved the signal , which was a red signal lamp , backward and forward . As the driver came nearly to me , I waved my hat and signal , thinking that as there was snow en the ground , he nught see the contrast of colours . To Mr . Homer—The train , as near as I can tell , was going at the rate of twenty-five miles an hoar . It wa . « much faster than he ought to have gone on that part of the line , and faster than merchandise trains usually go . He ought to have had his steam off a mile from the station , considering the speed he was going at , and to have sounded a whistle before be came to the station . I did not see a guard or any
other person on tee tram . W . Allen , engineman at the Barnsley station—I heard the luggage train coming , and I should say it was coming at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour , which is a speed too fast for a luggage train in such a fog as there was that morning . Joseph Beard , one of the guards of the North Midhtnd Railway Company—If our engineman had been accustomed to stop at * the station , and acquainted with our custom , he would have placed the train in a different position , so that we should have got away
sooner . To the Foreman—There have been great irregularities since the new enginemen came . I have never brought a train in at its proper time since the change took place . W . Prime Marshall , of Derby , superintendent of the locomotive department , said—Edward Jenkins has been employed as engine-driver since the time of the change , nearly three weeks ago . I select the engine-drivers myself , and I considered Jenkins competent for the situation . In a case of fog ,
additional precaution is to be taken , by checking the speed sooner and greater use of the whistle . Twentyfive miles an hour is not an excessive speed for a luggage train for the main line , and , having run at that speed into the Btation , it is evident that Jenkins had mistaken the place he was at . It was his duty to look out , and he has been very npgligent in this case . The luggage train was not obliged to stop at the Barnsley station ; but , it being in a fog , heonght to have whistled and gone through the station with caution .
Samuel Stocks—I was stoker to Jenkins yesterday morning . It was a very thick foggy morning . It appeared as if we could not see ten yards ; to my knowledge I never Baw it worse . Jenkins did not make a whistle as we approached the station . We do sometimes pass stations at 25 miles an hour . Edward Jenkins , after having been cautioned , said —It was a very misty morning , and as soon as I s * w the signal I reversed the engine . I sent the fireman to the tender-break to turn it . I held down the safety valves , on account of more pressure . The morning was so foggy , and the rails to slippery , that the engine took no hold of the rails . After an absence of a few minutes , the Jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against Edw . Jenkins . Jenkins was accordingly committed for trial at the next York Assizes .
The Foreman of the Jury then addressing the Directors of the North Midland Railway Company , who were present in the room , said , " We think the Roilroad Company are very highly to blame for employing such inefficient men , and not having a sufficient number to attend the stations . We think the accident might possibly have been prevented if there had been a sufficient number of men at the Barnsley station , to get off the passenger train in due time . " Mr . Hudson ( one of the Directors ) —Allow me to say that there are the same number as there have been for some months . The Foreman—There are not so many as there ™ « since 1 haTe known the station . Mr . Hudson then intimated that the Directors would pay proper attention to the observations of the Jury . This concluded the inquest , and the Court separated at nine o'clock .

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE STORM . Leith Roads , Susbay . —For the last forty-eight hours it has blown a terrific storm from the N . W ., with seveTe frost and heavy fall of snow . Shortly after it commenced on Friday morning , an event of a most deplorable character took place in the Frith of Forth , whereby several lives were lost . A sloop of about fifty tons , called the Janet of Montrose , in making a passsge through the Forth , was overtaken by the storm , which almost immediately shivered her sails into numberless pieces , and afterwards drove her on a rock called Mickery-stone , where she , in the course of a few houra , went to
pieces , and every soul on board met with a watery grave . Some of the unfortunate seamen were married men , and have left large families to deplore their loss . The sloop was laden with a valuable cargo of wheat , which , with the vessel , was insured . She had left Montrose in the early part of last week , and was bound to Glasgow , to deliver her cargo . Considerable portions of the wreck have been washed on shore , and amongst it was a spar with the body of a man lashed to it . He was a seaman , apparently about thirty years of age . At Bowcastle on Friday morning , before daybreak , a ship named the Elizabeth Aletta , was wrecked on the coast of Cruckington Haven , about six miles from this town , and the whole of her crew ,
amounting , it is supposed , to twelve persons , perished Upon the discovery being made , a number of boats hastened off to their assistance , but upon arriving alongside of the vessel she was found to be a complete wreck , for the greater part of her hull had broken up and was scattered along the beach . Up to the period of this report being sent off only three bodies hud been discovered . Near the same place two other vessels were lost in the course of the storm , one a schooner , belonging to Southampton , from Swansea , laden with copper , on shore near Ilartland Point ; and the Sarah , of Teignmouth , whirb foundered off Tintegile Head . Tnose who manned the latter were saved , but of the schooner , all ( with the exception of one ) perished .
The late Storm at Brighton . — Intelligence has reached the town of the safe ' . y of the four trawl or " hog" boats which were missing since the storm . It appears from the statements of the crew , that after groat suffering their little barques got into places of safety ; three of them ran ashore at Hastings , an , dthe fourth drifted to Ramsgate Harbour , which the crew succeeded in reaching in almost an exhausted state . Messrs . Cheeseman ' s brig , the George , which was off the town in the storm , also made Ramsgate Harbour , greatly damaged . The crew went down on their knees to the Captain to beg of him to run ashore on the Sussex coast ; but' he wouid not listen to their en treaties , although tho vessel had sprung a leak , fearing that by so doing their lives would be sacrificed . Fortunately they succeeded in safely entering the Harbour .
WRECK OF THE CONQUEROR . Further and interesting intelligence relative to this unfortunate vessel was received on Wednesday by the French mail as to ihe immediate loss 5 and the City of Poonah , Indiaman , which arrived in the Downs on Tuesday , brings a file of Capetown papers containing some important facts relative ( 0 the passengers and state of the ship when she left Table-bay in Nov . last . The subjoined is an accurate list of the passengers and crew on board the Conqueror when she struck off Lornel on Thursday last , all of whom perished , with the single exception of the cuddy servant , Henry Abchurch :
James E . Dnggan , commander ; John Harvey , first mate ; William Smith , second mate ; Charles Rush , third mate ; James Rogers , surgeon ; Thomas Wilson , carpenter ; P . Martin , eail-maker ; W . Nelmes , Htew&rd ; Peter Constantino , captain ' s cook ; J . M'Dougall , ship's cook and baker ; G . Davison , butcher ; H . Howship , cuddy servant ( tkia individual left the ship in India , but returned before she sailed ); F- Bowen , boatswain ' s mate ; P . Kel ' y , ditto ; Charles Brown , George Harcourt . G . Dawson W . Lewis , C . Rowburth , R . Adams , J . Mann , T . Johnson , P . N . Peterson , R . Davidsou , H . Scott , J . White , George Kinment , M . Barkhohn , T . Walsh
J . M'Lane , T . Pmdey , able seamen ; W . Millar , W . Roach , W . Hepper , J . Payton , B . Jenningy , ordinary seaman ; W . Jones and T . Pant , apprentices ; W . Pedley , fidder and joiner ; and W . Pattison , pantry boy . Midshipmen . —Messrp . Thomas Allen , A . T . Skynner , Frederick Verner , G . P . Barton , W . H . B . Wbiteburch . Passengers . —Mrs . Thompson and four children ; Mrs . Major Johnstone and four children ; Miss Turton , iVlr . MaKhalJ , Lieutenant Marshall , 73 d Native Infantry ; Captain Milner , 39 ; h Bengal Native Infantry ; Master Blake and Master Reeves .
William Kellar , bootswain ' s mate , died at Calcntta on the 21 st July . James Cotton , able seamen , and Charles Pepernell , cuddy-servant , were drowned at the same place a lew days before the ship sailed . It is stated that nine men of the 91 st Regiment embarked at St . Helena on their way home as invalids . They must of course have perished with the remainder of tha crew . Abchurch ( the unfortunate survivor ) is much better , and got up for the first time on Monday . The Conqnerer left England on her jll-fated voyage on the 8 th of January , 1842 . Her crew consisted almost exclusively of sailors from Blackwail , and Poplar ; the widows and orphans are numerous , and public sympathy is very generally excited in the neighbourhood .
Tne Conquerer was engaged to leave England next month . Nearly all her cabins were engaged , and another of Mr . Green ' s vessels has been appointed in her stead .
LOSS OF ANOTHER EAST INDIAMAN . On Wednesday information was received that another East India trader had been added to ; the melancholy catalogue of losses occasioned by the lato violent ga ' . es . The vessel was named the Jessie Logan , the property of Mr . Logan , a merchant at Liverpool , from which port she traded to and from Calcutta . She was 850 tons burden , and commanded by Captain Major . On Monday last the vessel was on her homeward voyage , beating up Channel , and apparently making for Tintagell or Bude Bay , on the Cornifh coast , for which the north-we 3 t wind would have been favourable but for its extreme violence . At length she became unmanageable , and
was driven agreund off Boseastle , formerly Botterean Castle , about seventeen miles from Lauuceston . Blue-lights and other signals of distress were made , but such was thd ® ry of the gale and the violence of the surf , that none whatever would venture to her assistance , and at 1 < ngth she drifted on the rocks and soon became a total wreck . She had evidently been abandoned by tho crew and passengers , but from the long-boat having been washed on shore , it is feared they have all perished , as up to the time of writing this account no information had been ob tained respecting them ; aud , from the fact of the Jessie Logan not being a London trader , no account
of the number of her crew or passengers could be procured . She was a North American built ve 3 se ) , termed , in commercial parlance , a Quebecker ; her cargo , consisting of rum , sugar , spices , and general Last India produce , was being hourly washed ashore , but no despatches or papers of any kind have , it is presumed , been recovered , as none have as yet reached the East India-house , Jerusalem Coffee House , or Lloyd ' s . It is not at present known whether sho was uninsured , or whoilier underwritten at Liverpool or London , nor till further accounts arrive , can any clue be given as to the value of the cargo .

Most determined Suicide . —On Sunday last , Thomas Mitchell , Esq ., surgeon , &c , Birstal , committed a most determined act of self-destruction by gabbing himself through the heart with a dissecting , knife . From the facts adduced before the coroner and jury upon the inquest , held on Tuesday last , it appeared that upon the maid servant proceeding to lay the cloth for dinner , she found the door of tho room fastened , and Mr . Mitchell called out from within for her to wait awhile ; she mentioned tho circumstance to her fellow-servant , who tried the door , and findng it still fastened , informed Mr . Henry Miunoll , Mr . Mitchell ' s second son , of tha very singular circumstance , who
instantly called in other assistance , and the do ^ r was forced open , and Mr . Mitchell was found with his upper garment taken off , and after one convulsive ? ob expired . A case of surgical instruments wa 3 found lying op > n on the table , and the biooi'y knife by hia side , whioh appeared to have been thrust up to 1 e handle . From the evidence of a man , a connexion of the family , it appeared that the deceased had for some months back laboured under a great depression of spirits , and under a delusion with respect to hiB monetary afflira , amounting to an aberration of mind . The jury returned a verdict , '' Killed himself whilst labouring under aberration of mind . " Deceased was eixty-two years of age , and has lived upwards of forty yearB ia Birstal .
France . —The Paris Journals of Sunday and Monday teem with more alarming interest , as regards the stability of the present paoifio relations between France and England , than did any of their immediate predecessors . The Committee on the Address , which had already held their third sitting , and discussed seriatim every paragraph of the speech from the Throne , had , it is said on all sides , agreed to introduce an amendment , relative to that most portentous of all questions—the right of search . It is stated with equal confidence ( the republican National chiming in with the organs of the Court aud the Cabinet ) that the amendment will not have the effect of overturning the present Ministry . Thus , the compliments so prodigally lavished on the
moderation of the Soult-Guizot Cabinet by our English contemporaries of all shades of opinions , are flung back in their faces with contempt ; and it is now clear that all parties in France join in one loud uhorus of hostili ' -y to England . Even the courtly Debats , hitherto tha loudest , and apparently the sinoerest , of the veiy few French journals which had up to this time the courage to insist on the inconveniences of a rupture with this country , has now taken an indirect method of fanning the anti-English feeling , showing upon what a sandy foundation our oligarohical rulers have built their hopes of maintaining , through the agency of Guizot and Co ., the outward forms , if not the cordialiiy of peace , iu the present awkward state of all our
great national interests . With extraordinary glee docs the mouthpiece of the French Ministry dwell on that very item of the French revenue , which our masters , in presenting their yearly budgets , were always , until very lately , in the habit of representing as the only sure test of national prosperity or depression—we mean , of course , the Excise : —" The improvement in the rovenuo , particularly in the Exciso , is a certain indication of public wealth , as the increase of consumption necessarily implies an increase in labour and in production . " "France" continues the JDe ' jatx , " has suffered a series of political changes , traversed a serious commercial crisis , recently engaged immense sums of money ia works necessary , perhaps ,
though unproductive ; but strong in her elements of national wealth , she is every day actively repairing , without additional taxes , but solely by the natural course of affairs , the encroachment made on her fortune by the faults , * he errors , or the exigencies of political parties . This is because her strength is neither factitious nor extraneous . It is because her power reposes upon an admirable soil , which , with the help of peace , will be rendered more fertile by the publio works voted last session . The financial prosperity of our country is a remarkable faot when oompared with that of other countries . France had to apprehend two formidable obstacles—anarchy at home , and war abroad . The
wisdom of the King ' s Government has preserved ns from the first of those calamities , and the Governments of Europe will preserve France and themselves from the other . "—In the foregoing loud note of exultation over the really prosperous state of a country , which the organs of our privileged classes have one and all joined in describing as all but sinking under the weight of her burdens—how many sly hits are given to the land , which , in the language of prostituted orators and writers , was so long , so pompously , and so mendaciously termed " The envy and admiration of surrounding nations ; whose merchants were princes , and whose nobles had all the state and more than the pride of kiiiKp , "
