The Loss Of The Emigrant Ship Marion. Th...
THE LOSS OF THE EMIGRANT SHIP MARION . The following are tletaila of tlie loss of the ahove named ressel : — ' Adelaide , August 4 . — Tlie intelligeuce readied tMs port oa Thursday niglit last of the 2 oss of the above vessel , on Troubridge Shoal . Tlie following particulars , obtained from Captain Kissock , may berried on : —Oa the 24 th of March the " Marion left Plymouth , in comp any with the City of Manchester and the King William , with 353 emigrants , and sighted Kangaroo Island last Monday about three a . m . At this time the vessel was
"beating up ihe gulf , and continued to do so until she struck on the outer reef on Trouhridge Shoal , which , took place about eight o ' clock p . m . on Tuesday . The lead was heve just before the vessel struck , but there was no sounding . She was in full sail at the time , and going at the rate of four knots per hour . Shortly after the vessel struck she rapidly filled , previous to which the sails were backed to try and float her again , but it proved unsuccessful At this time there was a strong tide setting in on the Troubridge Shoal . Captain Kissock then ordered tbe boats to be lowered ( four in number ) , and all the females
and children were put into them and made towards Yorke ' s Peninsula , where two of the boats were safely landed , and the other two at Cape Jervis . Some of tbe emigrants were landid on . Tuesday night , others on Wednesday , and the remainder on Thursday morning . A fishing boat rendered the sufferers some assistance , by taking away several boats' load from the ill-fated vessel on Wednesday . Captain Kissock having been informed that there was a small vessel at Yorke ' s Peninsula } the Maid of the Mill , he sent for her on Wednesday morning , hut the vessel was then on the beachhigh and dry . However , she arrived
at the wreck on the same evening about five o ' clock , when the rest of the emigrants embarked in her with some boxes ; they then left the wreck about dark , and arrived at the port on Tuesday morning . At the time they left the vessel the water was within about eighteen inches from the main deck . There iB not the slightest chance of her ever being floated off again ; she must inevitably become a perfect wreck . It isTery probable that she has already gone to pieces , the weather on Friday night having been exceedingly rough . The loss of the vessel is attributable to the strong
currents which set in on the shoal . The Marion is not a teak-huilt vessel , as has been stated , but was built at Quebec , and this is her first voyage . All the emigrants have landed safely ; one infant , however , has since died . Great attention ! has been paid to them by the worthy captain and the emigration agent ' s clerk since they have been landed at the port . The rest are expected hourly from Yorke's Peninsula and Cape Jervis . The loss of the poor emigrants will be severely felt , tbe little that they possessed being under water ; audit is to be hoped that a public subscri ption will he opened for their henefit .
Slaughter Of A European Crew By Malays. ...
SLAUGHTER OF A EUROPEAN CREW BY MALAYS . The " Overland Free Press , " dated Singapore , aNY-mnber 4 , says : — " Amongst the news this iat-cth from Singapore is an account of an outbreak of the Malay sailors on board the British barque Fawn , while on her voyage up the Straits from this to Calcutta , resulting in the murder of the whole of the European officers and passenger ? , and the destruction of the vess I by fire . " The particulars , as far as they have at present transpired , are as follows : —The Fawn , a new vessel , arrived from China at Singapore , and left tbe latter
port m progress of her return voyage to Calcutta oa September 23 . When at Singapore Captain Jlodgcrs , the master of the Fawn , discharged a portion of his Calcutta-shipped crew , and in their ate ^ took Malays . Javanese , and a Cochin-Chinese ¦ who had turned Mahominedan . The captain was rather of an kassihie temper , and a strict disciplinarian . On the sixth day , after leaving Singapore , about noon , the burra-tindal ( headof itnatirucrew ) ¦ was observed sitting on the fore-hatch smoking ; upon which the chief ofiher spoke harshly , and asked him if he intended to set the ship on fire . "Words arose between them , and ultimately the chief mate gave a thrashing to ihe burra-tindal
• with a rope ' s end . The captain appears to have approved of the mate's conduct . Al . ilays-ae proverbial for resenting-any suea indignity , and , as in the present instance , take the earliest opportunity of revenge . The burra-tindal gained over some of the Malays , Javanese , and the Cochin-Chinaman , and resolved to be revenged on all the Christians on board . It is usual when stop * snii at iiifrbt through' the Straits of Malacca for the captain to remain on deck all night , dozing occasionally in a eh & ir . At midnight the burra-iindai and ills confederates found the captain sleeping in a chair on ihe poop ; they despatched him with knives , and threw his body overboard . The portion of the
creiv ( Bengales ) not in the plot at once fled to the ship ' s tops , or other places in the ship . An European , who was proceeding in charge of a horse to Calcutta , also sleeping on deck , waa likewise murdered , and his body cast into the sea . The chief and second mates retired to their cabins and armed themselves ; they offered a stout resistance until after mid-day . The infuriated Malays literally cut the second mate to pieces ; but , finding they could not get at ihe chief mate , they commenced with axes to cut through the poop-deck into Ms cabin Finding they had effected an entrance , the mate rushed out of his cabin and jumped overboard All this time the captain ' s wife and a Mrs .
Peskhara , who , with her child , was voyaging for her health , were spectators of the frightful slaughter going on . Having got rid of all the male Europeans on board , the burra-tindal and another ringleader proceeded to Mrs . Itodgers" cabin , adding the crime of rape to their previous atrocities , and behaving in tha most outrageous and revoking manner , totally unfit for publication . These ttro ladies , the child , nnd male and female servonts , were then placed in one of the quarter boats to be lowered and sent adrift in the sea . On the order being given to lower the boat , the fiend burra-tindal stood by and held on the after fall , so that tho wretched inmates were cast into the sea and
perished , save one man and a woman , whose husband was one of the crew . The wretches then fired the vessel , crowded all sail , and steered for the land . On nearing tho shore , the ringleaders quitted the vessel , and landed at a place called Bruas , about forty-eight miles distant from Penang . The revaluing portions of the crew , finding the fire gaining on the vessel , quitted in the captain's gig . They proceeded to Singapore ; when near it two of the men took advantage of the others being asleep , swam on shore , and reported all that bad occurred to the authorities . After some days several of the men were captured , others delivered themselves up , but six escaped . The Hon . Company ' s steamer
Iieoghly was despatched to Bruas to see if the vessel could ha saved , and with letters to the Rajah of the country to deliver up the guilty parties . In the meantime some of the men proceeded in a native boat to Penang and surrendered themselves up to the police , bnt these are not believed to have taken any other part in the outrages than such as they were in a measure compelled to do by threats . The ringleaders , after some excuses on the part of the Rajah , where secured and taken to Penang , where they will be tried on the 17 th of
November by the recorder , Sir Wham Jeffcott . The barque Rajah , of Liverpool , from Bombay , bound to China , passed the Fawn , when she was On fire Standing in for tbe land , bnt did nob proceed to her asssistance . or it is probable some of the unfortunate creatures canted out of the quarter-boat might have been rescued from a -watery grave . The master of the Rajah on the following day fell in with her Majesty ' s ship Amazon , and reported what lie had witnessed tho previous day . The Amazon went in the direction indicated , but fonnd no vestige of any vessel , the Fawn having , it would appear , burned to the water ' s edne

Those BEixsloiisl-Mr . goltau , the old gen-Llapham close to the chapel of the " Kedemptiomst Fathers , has again appealed to the law courts for protection from the bells . It ^ sas hoped that tho result of the former trial would lead to an abatement of the nuisance , and from the 13 th of August to the 9 th of November the ringing was suspended . On the latter day , however , the ringing was ag .-. in commenced , and it had now become a- bad as ever , the only difference being that the «» eiis had been removed from the roof of the cnapel to the sides . Under these circumstances , v ; Xl VjI ! an , , bl , or ' injunction was praved . The \ : « Chancellor said he should wish to ' have the > =: ott-hai , a writer ' s notes of what took place at the t : r . i , aHd has reserved his judgment .

LATEST INTELLIGENCE . NORTHERN STAR OFFICE . Saturday Afternoon . DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT MESSRS . COLLARD'S . —ESTIMATED LOSS , 430 , 000 . An extensive and alarming fire broke out on Friday morning at the extensive establishment of Messrs . Collard and Collard , pianoforte-makers , Ovahroad , Camden Town . Powerful assistance quickly arrived , and every means wero resorted to for a supply of water from the street mains , but water could only be supplied for one engine out of ten . The flames spread with uninterrupted fury , and ere the engines could be removed to the side of the canal , every floor ( four in number ) , together
with their contents , were one burning mass . All hope of saving any portion of the valuable stock , of course , was at an end , and having continued for three hours , nothing was visible bat a portion ot the bare walls . From information obtained from one of the firm , it appeared that an order to the amount of £ 20 , 000 had been finished the day previous for abroad , and due notice had been given for the attendance of vans that morning to convey the goods to the wharfs . The fire was totally subdued by eight o ' clock . Messrs . Collard are insured in the West of England , Norwich Union , Scottish Union , and County
Offices . During the day the surveyors of the different insurance offices visited the scene for the purpose of learning the extent of the loss , and , if possible , how the disaster originated . Respecting the latter not the least idea could be formed , and until the ruins are perfectly cooled it will be impossible to state with accuracy the precise amount of property consumed—but one thing is quite certain , that many thousand pounds' worth of instruments alone have been reduced to ashes . Tbe whole of the workmen have likewise been bereft of their tools , each man ' s stock being on the average worth about £ 25 . The majority , we were informed , were uninsured .
Determined Suicide at Lokdon-bmdoh . —On Friday evening , a person of gentlemanly appearance , was observed looking over the stone work , on the upper side of the bridge , near the Fishmonger ' s-hall , and before he could be reached tho unfortunate man ran to the first recess , where he jumped on to the seat and thence precipitated himself into the river . Uothing was seen or heard of him afterwards . Suspicious D « ath at Westminster . — On Friday evening an inquest was held on the body of George Tapsell , aged thirty-sis , a theatrical dedecorator , at the time employed at the Marylebone Theatre , and residing at 12 . Brewer ' s-green , Westminster . Wm . Melville , a labourer , stated that at a
little before seven on Wednesday morning , he saw two other men who had got possession of a hat , which was found lying on the shore near Grosvenorwharf , and in it was a card with the address of the unfortunate deceased on it , and in the after part of ihe day on passing near the Penitentiary at Millbank , he , on looking over tho wall , perceived the body of a man lying in the water . He also saw another man get over the parapet and pick up the body . Another witness named Lightfoot , the deceased ' s father-in-law , proved that he saw him last alive on Sunday night , at his house ; he was then in excellent spirits ; but a short time previous had had two or three days' illness . The deceased left him on Tuesday morning to go to tbe theatre .
The surgeon , Mr . Lavies . examined the body externally , but could discover no marks of violence on it . Verdict , " Found drowned , but how , there was not sufficient evidence to show . " Akoiheh Explosion at Woodthorpb Colliery . —An accurate plan of the workings being required for production at the assizes , on the occasion of Oldfield ' s trial , Messrs . John Wood and G . P . Wall , pupils of Mr . T . D . Jeffcock , colliery viewer , descended tho Shaft on Wednesday , for the purpo * of making the necessary surveys . They were ac companied by John Sellars , the fire trier at the Soaphouse pit , nnd three other colliers in the em . ploy of Mr . Rhodes , the lessee of the works . While the survey was proceeding with , Mr . Wood
walked forward into the break with a candle , followed by one of the colliers named Potts . They had not proceeded far before the flame of the candle came into contact with a volume of sulphurous gas , which suddenly exploded with a loud noise . Mr . Wood was knocked down , and severely burnt and bruised ; Potts , also , was thrown down , but escaped with a slight singeing ; the others fortunately escaped unhurt . No after damp followed , or the consequences would have been most calamitous , Mr . Wood was immediately conveyed home , and attended by Mr . William Jackson , under whose care he is fast recovering . Firb at WAraaG , —A fire took place on Thursday on the premises of Mr . James Stiff . No . 11 , Crown-court , Wapping . A Police-constable , No . 131 , bavin ;; succeeded in arousing the residents
they found the staircase so full of smoke , that the moment the upper room doors were opened the occupants were overpowered . One of the lodgers , who had lost his leg , in the confusion consequent on the alarm being given , could not find his wooden one , and therefore was unable to escape , or help in assisting his five children to get out . The policeman , at the risk of losing his own life , rushed through tha smoke and happily succeeded in saving the lives of the ^ ix persons . The engines soon arrived , but , in spito of the exertions of the firemen , they were unable to get the mastery over the flames until the premises of Mr . Stiff were all but destroyed ; tho back rooms belonging to Mr . Corden considerably damaged by fire , and tbe house of Mr . Morris , So . 8 , Great Hermitage-street , much burnt .

Three-quarters of the 40 th regiment of the line have voted against Louis Napoleon . In consequence , there is talk of disbanding of this regiment . The journals of Switzerland are excluded . The " Echo du Mont Blanc , " of Savoy , is also interdicted . Tho " Presse" appeared without any leading article yesterday , MM . Pelletan and Peyrat , two well-known writers in that journal , announce that their connexion with it has ceased .

Tbe crime that they are charged with is that of «• exciting peaceable persons not to vote for order on the 20 th and 21 st inst . "
General Cavaignac refused to make any conditions for the recovery of his freedom . M .

The Roman Catholic Church in Canada . — Quebec , Nov . 28 . —A somewhat novel "bull" has been recently issued by the prelates of the Roman Catholic Church . It prohibits the ladies of their communion from indulging in the profane amusements of waltzing and polkaing . Ludicrous as such an order may seem in England , it is a very serious affair here , and may open the eyes of the Roman Catholic laity to the tyrannical theocracy under which they live . The ladies of the upper classes of French Canadians have been hitherto accustomed to take their share in all the innocent diversions which form the posse temps of our winter evenings , and among which the waltz and polka are not the least considered and cherished . They are now forced to relinquish these amusements under pain of ecclesiastical censure and final excommunication .
Serious Accident to the magnet , Amsterdam Steamer . —On Thursday evening , an accident befel the Magnet steamship while proceeding up the river , on her return from Amsterdam , which nigh involved her wreck and damage to a valuable freight . The Magnet is an iron-built vessel of considerable power , and when on the St . Petersburgh station made one of the fastest passages from that capital perhaps on record . A day or two ago she left Helvoct for the Thames with a full freight of beasts , calves , sheep , butter , and other merchandise , and her trip was prosperous enough until on reaching Limehouse Reach , when she
unfortunately touched upon somo vessel ' s anchor . The rush of water into her engine-room promptly intimated that a serious hole had been pierced in her hull , and much alarm was naturally excited for the fate of the live stock on board , as indeed the steamer . The water kept gaining upon her , and having reached the fires , they were extinguished , and her progress stopped . Tho aid of a tug-boat , however , was secured , and at length the Magnet after some difficulty was got to the Dublin Steam-wharf , Lower East Smithfield , where she was hauled in shore , and her live stock got out the best way practicable .
The Collision on the South Coast Railway . — On Wednesday an inquest was held at Portsmouth , upon the circumstances attending the death of Mr . J . Groves , whoso death was alleged to have arisen from the effects of a collision on the above railway , on the 27 th of November last , "Verdict— " That death had arisen from a combination of diseases , and that tbe driver and stoker of the train by which deceased had travelled , and groat blame wa « attributable for the inattention to the signals . "
Thb Captubbd Crew of ins Violbt . —By intelligence received from the charge d ' affaires at Tangier it is ascertained that Captain Layton , master of the violet ( the vessel destroyed by the Riff pirates ) , is alive , and has recovered from his wounds . Two of tho crew have died in captivity , of cholera . It is not known where the survivors are ; and tho' efforts to obtain their release are so far unavailing , 4 , 000 dollars ransom for each being still demanded . There is no mention of Mr . Crosse , the owner , who was with tho vessel . Mr . Augustus Hill Bradshaw , late accountantgeneral at the Aimy Pay-office , died on Saturday last at an advanced age . This event effects a saving of two large pensions to the public .
Singular Escape . —On Thursday morning a most extraordinary escape was experienced by a child named Bacon , belonging to poor but respectable parents , at Stanway . The child was playing round the mouth of a ' draw well , forty-four feet deep , but containing little water , when it fell in the force of the fall was broken upon the water , and the child when released was found with its head in a bucket which rested on the bottom . The parents of the child were instantly attracted to the distressing scene , and rapidly raising the bucket to the top of the well they had the joyful satisfaction of discovering that their child had sustained no further injuries than somo severe bruises .

-The December Session Of The Above Court...
-The December session of the above court commenced on Monday before the Right Hon . the Lord Mayor , the Recorder , the Sheriffs , Deputy Sheriffs , & o ., & o . Cuaiigu op PunjuRY . —Harriet Anne Newman , a young woman , surrendered to take her trial upon a charge of having committed wilful and corrupt perjury on the trial of an indictment against a person named Day , in this court in May last . —The prosecutor—a young man named Day—was tried in this court in May last upon a charge of conspiring to procure the debauchment of the present defendant , and also for attempting himself to commit a felonious assault upon her ; and it will be remembered Ihat the story told by the defendant in support of
the charge was of a very extraordinary character , She represented that she received a letter from a young man named Roberts , who was at the time her sweetheart , on the 31 st of March , appointing to meet her in the evening at Stepney , and , upon her going to the place , she saw the prisoner , who forced her into a cab and drove her about , and at length took her to a large house , where something was given her to drink which had the effect of stupifying her , and she was then assailed by three gentlemen , who sought to obtain possession of her person ; but she stated that she got a knife , and by means of tbat weapon she eventually succeeded in fighting her way out of the house . The prosecutor Day was taken into custody a day or two afterwards , and the defendant swore positively that ho was the man who had acted in the way described ,
and after several examinations before the magistrate the prosecutor was committed to this court , and after a long trial , in which witnesses were examined on both sides , the jury found the prosecutor guilty , and he was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment . After his conviction it appeared that representations were made to | the Secretary of State in reference to tho case , the result of which was that Day received a pardon , and he then preferred the present charge against the defendant , who , it appeared , had , since tbe transaction , got married to Roberts , the sweetheart alluded to . —Day , the former defendant , was now examined as a witness , and he stated most positively that he saw nothing of the defendant on the night in question , and that the story told by her with regard to his having forced her into a cab and taken her to the house she referred to was false in every respect , as far as
he was concerned . —This witness was cross-examined at some length by Mr . Horry , but his evidence was not shaken in any material respect . — Several other witnesses were called , who proved that Day was in their company at different periods during the afternoon and evening of the 31 st March , and consequently that it was impossible for him to have beeu at the place mentioned by the defendant . —Elizabeth Woodfield , an old woman , deposed that she had known the defendant from a child , and was also acquainted with her family . On the 17 th , or between that and the 2 oth of March , the defendant called upon her and asked her to write for her the letter that had been produced , and she said it was to be used for the purpose of having a game with Dick Roberts . She also wrote upon an envelope tbe address of the defendant . She also said that when she heard of Day being taken into

MANSION-HOUSE . — Embbmlkuent . — John Rawstm was brought up charged with having committed various acts of robbery upon his employer , Mr . Allhusen , of Elswick , county of Northumberland . —Mr . Christian Allhusen ¦ said , —I carry on business at Gateshead as a clvymicn i and soap manufacturer . The . prisoner was employed by me to collect orders for goods in London and its vicinity , and also to collect money . It was his duty to render every week an account of any money received , and to pay it over to Messrs . "Williams and Co ., of Birchin-lane , bankers . In consequence of suspicions entertained by me I wrote to several of the customers , and was by them informed that the prisoner had been paid . I then wrote to the prisoner for aw explanation , and received from him a reply , dated the 23 rd of October . I made no promise or threat to him on the subject of an acknow .
legdment of guilt . [ Here the witness put in a letter , signed with tho prisoner ' s name . It contained an admission of deficiencies in the prisoner ' s accounts , which the writer attributed to the great mass of business to which he had to attend , and to the confusion and embarrassment necessarily arising out of the distressing fact © f his wife ' s serious illness , and it solicited the indulgence of the prosecutor , under the assurance that by extraordinary attention to business and the interests of the house ; the whole amount of the deficiencies should be paid up as quickly as possible . ] The prosecutor continued . —The prisoner was paid by commission only . The goods were delivered at my risk , and sold and invoiced in my name . He was to pay all the money he received into the bankers at the end of every week , the receipts produced are in his handwriting . —The prisoner was committed for trial .

He was struck repeatedly on the head while down . The defendant was the person who committed this assault . Complainant contrived to get upon his
legs , but the defendant continued striking him with the stick until a cabman came up and took the defendant away . Complainant , on seeing a constable , gave the defendant into custody . —The defendant said he would admit that he gave the complainant a good caning , but he denied having struck him while behind him . The cause of the assault was this : — The complainant invited him down to his villa at Ealing . While there a woman with whom complainant cohabited threw some beer in his face . He rose up , and while half blinded with the liquid , a prizefighter , whom complainant had hired , and bis servant , came into the room and nearly murdered him .

LAMBETH . —An Incorrigible Character . — James Christmas , a tall and powerful-looking yoong man , was charged with burglary and intended robbery . —Some time since , the prisoner , af »«» i short career of dissipation , enlisted into the Marine Artillery , but soon becoming tired of that service , he deserted , and subsequently entered into the Royal Horse Artillery . This branch of the service became equally irksome to him and he left it also . He next broke into the house of a gentleman to whom his brother was servant , and he was detected in the act of carrying off a quantity of his brother ' s property . His brother , not wishing to prosecute him , gave information to the Horse Artillery officers of his desertion and apprehension , and he
was handed over to that corps to be dealt with as a deserter . So bad was his character , however , that the regiment refused to have anything to do with him , and was glad to get rid of him by handing him over to the Marine Artillery , from which body ho had first deserted . The officers in this service , like those in the Royal Arillery , had no wish that he should return to the ranks of their men , and the result was that he was allowed to go about his business . In March last the prisoner enlisted into the 16 th Lancers , and remained in that regiment until October , when he again , and for the third time , deserted . From that time to the present he had been living on
his wits , and at half-past three o ' clock on Sunday morning he was found iu the cellar of a house No . 5 , Surrey-place , Grovclane , Camberwell . — Mr . Janus Kempton , the proprietor of the house in question , deposed that on- Sunday morning , about three o ' clock , he was awoke by his wife , and saw a light in his passage , and immediately after somebody came and tried to open his bedroom door , but did not succeed , as it was locked . Witness got up , and on searching over the house found the prisoner concealed in the cellar with his shoes off . The cupboards had been forced open , and the parlours had been ransacked . The prisoner was committed for trial .

He went and inquired to whom the coat belonged , and was informed that it was his father ' s and he added that ho was then going to his work in St . Martin ' s-lane . This assertion , however , was not believed ; and , when the sergeant examined the coat , he found a very formidable iron instrument in the pocket of it , which was subsequently ascertained to have been used in wrenching open the complainant ' s house . The coat was also proved to have been one of the articles stolen from complainant ' s house , and Nesbitt , it was stated , worked some time ago in the neighbourhood where the complainant lived , and well knew the habits of the family , as well as the different rooms iu the dwelling . —The prisoners , who made no defence , were committed .

On taking the parcel to the back of his premises and unpack , ing it he found a small box , about sixteen inches ong , covered with paper , and on lifting the lid to his surprise he saw the body of a male child } he immediatelcalled in
y a police constable , who took possession of the box and body and conveyed it to the station house . Mr , Lloyd , surgeon , of Broadstreet-butldings , who had been called in to examine the body , and had since made a post mortem examination , stated that the body was that of a seven months child , was perfectly healthy in everj part , and , although the lungs were collapsed , he believed that it was alive at the time of birth . The body was quite fresh , and must have been placed in the box not more than two hours after birth . Police constable Bath said no trace could be found of the man who had left the parcel . The coroner said he thought it would be useless to adjourn the inquiry , as it was not probable that any further evidence would be forthcoming . The jury returned as their verdict , " That the child was found dead , but whether it had been born alive or not there was no evidence to show . "
