SB SHIPWRECKS AND ACCIDENTS AT SEA . _AAHF 1 AHFDL WRECK OF AN ENGLISH BARQUE OFF
THE COAST OF MASSACHUSETTS , _ifflie t * he barque _Josejrha , of Gloucester , England , Captain _* . wsey _, _vsey _, left Bristol on the 19 th March , 1852 , with a cargo rsrailrorailroad iron , white lead , skins , &• » ., bound for Boston . r r creT crew , all told , consisted of eighteen persons , and all wmg rang men . Up to the day of her wreck she had . a short 11 proa" prosperous voyage , and made Cape Ann Light at twelve Mock lock on Monday night , April 19 th . The night being eck aick and foggy , and an easterly gale blowing , tbe Captain _iciod _oiod oS on a south-easterly course , and whan he judged imse . 16 ase . lf far enough out , tacked and ran in , intending to dike Gke Cape Cod and so up the bay . The fog was extremely kick . ick . The vessel had approached the coast so nearly that
t tack tacking , after sonmivag and finding fifteen fathr . _ms , the Iiip wip was on the edge of the breakers , and struck on the inter Iter bar about half a mile to the northward of the Highnnd lnd L ght , Cape C id . This was at about three o ' clock in if le afte afternoon of Tuesday , April 20 fb . She probably street sisr her hows first , then _heehd off and lay on her beam ends , nid aid a ' ter a few seas struck her , which , after a long easterly ; t ; orm ; orm _, run with fearful violence on the outer Inr . her starooardoard quarter broke off . In the meantime the pinnace had eeen een got out and lowered from the starboard side , but this ooat , oat , as well as the lone boat , was instantly stove and swept
f ff iwff t . y the violence of the seas . Her decks now gave way rromrom the stem to the foremast ; her main and mizz-nmast _srentrent overboard , and her larboard _sida fell in on tbe railcoadoad iron with which she was freighted . She was six years nld , ) ld , of about 600 tuns burden , built chiefly of larch and ) rfhother Kortb Country wood , in a heavy and substantial mode , _imamairorcawith heavy braces , iron knees , and other iron FiFastfastenings , which , added to the enormous weight of the rraiiraiiroad iron in her , made her almost a complete anchor in iherfaerself , yet , such was the terrible force of the sea that runs ion on the outer liar , she was carrier over this and brought up i on on the inner bar .
] In this situation she lay , so thick was the fog , without i Mrjany one on her seeing the shore , or being seen from it i thothough only about three hundred yards distant , until about ; fiwfive o ' clock , the sea making a breach over her , when three : _bo'boja who were walking the beach , the fog now lifting a ] _Iiitliitlc , saw her , and proceeded to the _Highland L ght , _andini forformed Mr . Hamilton , the keeper of the Light , of the fact . ' ThThe cries ef persons were also heard from the wreck . ' The keeper of the Light got out the articles belonging
to to the Humane Society , such as life-preservers , India rubber co coats , caps , and one of the rockets deposited at the Light _foifor the purpose of throwing a rope from the shore to tha ve vessel , and went down to the beach opposite the bark , _TVJTvhere the people from the Pond village in Truro ( about oi one mile fiora the beach ) were soon assembled . Tbe men cc could ha plainly seen cliuging to the larboard side of the Ei ship , and their cries for assistance are described as being h heart-rending beyond all imagination ; the spray flying ever tl the foremast , which was still standing .
_Abwvt seven o clock , two men from the Pond village , in 1 Truro—Jonathan Collins 2 d , andD . H . _Cassity , both young , t the latter twenty-three years of age , and the former about t thirty-fire—procured a fisherman's dory , so-called , _he'onging ; ! to the Light House , and avowed their intention io peril I their own lives in an attempt to save the _unfortunate men i exposed before their eyes to immediate death . The resolve i a most hazardous one , and the experienced persons ptesent entreated them not to go . When a heavy s < a is tunning on the outer bar , the inshore surf is a little diminished , and there was little doubt , 83 evtrv Cape _Cooir . an is a
master of his boat , that their frail dory cculd be successfully launched and carried over the _shore-wav ? , but , as after an easterly storm , long-continued , the current at this point sweeps with irresistible violence to the north , and ihe sea was' _making a breach over tbe vessel , it was considered certain death to approach the eddy near the ship . In spit * of all remonstrance , these heroic yonng men went off through the surf , and approached within about fifteen yards of tbe barque , near enough to sp'ak to those on board , where the dory capsized instantly , * lite a _btsin , ' to use the expression of a bystander , _auJ nothing wore was _aeen of the two men in her .
T _& e rocket for throwing a rcpe over the vessel was now got tr & iy . as the _iiv ; -b « s had been brought down , the plan Icing in such _cates to get a line to tbe ship , if _possibl ? , then to ply between the shore and the vessel in the _life-boit . The rocket has a much _larger stick than tbe common n cket , to which a line is attached , and a heavy charge to carry it a sufficient d _' btance . It was now fired hy Simuel Small , iun ., and G . T . Lewis , when the charge exploded and burst the chamber instead of carrying the rope to ihe ship , thus endangering- tbe lives of those who fired it , as _Will ti ihe bystanders , the stick going over the bank to the leeward ; it was almost a miracle that eo lives were lost by the explosion of the iron chamber , when the amoust of the charge is _cjnsidered , and the immediate contact of the persons .
It is evident now that nothing more could he done from the share , unless _ths life-boat could bs got off . But it was evident after the experiment with the dory , which bad ended fatally , that the attempt would be in every probability perfectly unsuccessful—the enly hope of safely _carrying _t-ff a life-boat b _'i . » iz 1 » v the aid of a r _« pa from the vessel . The life boat at _Hortb Trun is a large and heavy boat , and difficult to m ; n : ze in the in-shore surf , where facility of execution is ind » pensable , and one-half moment ' s delay may sweep off boat and crew , and as it was now dark and breezing np , no further attempts could bs made to communicate with the _ves < e ! _.
lires were built on the shore to show the unfortunate persons on _baard that they were not forgotten , and companies formed to walk the beach . The awful cries of the crew for aid , and the cracking of the large timbers as the ship _finally broke up , were beard at a house shout half a mile from the beach , in spite of the terrible surf which crashed like the heaviest thunder on the echoing shore , and the remorseless beating of the tempest . At about eleven , the light-keeper returned to the beach , having gone at ten to the light to trim his lamps , and saw '
a man kneeling before one of the fire ? , who proved to be one of ihe crew , and on being asked if any of his companions had been savrd , he informed the light-keeper that one other was lying near the water ; the latter , John Jasper , was in a dying condition , much bruised about the feet , and would not have lived another half-hour . Both of these men were taken to the Hght-house _. one mile and balf off , in about two hours , hy the exertions of Mr . Hamilton and his companion . _Rsv . Mr . Lird , of North Truro , the _bsnk above the beach being a hundred feet high , of yielding sand , and Jasuer unable to help himself .
When the foremast gave way , the two men who were saved went over with the broadside ; and though washed off two or thr ? e lines , and although the rigging caught in the railroad irou and kepi them by the wreck for an hour and a half , from which thay saw their fourteen companions swept off , they eventually went ashore nearly opposite the wreck . They were most amply cared ( ot at the light-house by Mr . Hamilton and his wife . Sis bodies of the crew hive been since recovered and buried at Provincetown , and also Ibat of D . H . Cassity , at North Truro . Thus sixteen persons perished in ibis terrible shipwreck , and two of our own fearhfis and heroic Cape & id fishermen , in a bold _attempt io save the . _'Jirej of their brother saifors . —New York Tribune .

_OCCIDENTS AND CASUALTIES Collision on the Yobk , Newcastle , And Berwick Railway . —On Saturday night last , a collision tooK piace on the main lines of the York , Newcastle , and _BerwicK Railway , near Gateshead , which happ ily was not attended with any loss of life . The mail train left lork for tne north at eight o ' clock in the _eveninff , and on _arriving at ten minutes to eleven o ' clock wiihin a quarter of . a mi !< j from the Gateshead station , it ran into an engine ana tender which were standing upon tho line . Tho train at the time was proceeding at the rate of from twenty to twentv-five miles an hour . The fireman and guard were not aware of the danger until they came within twenty or thirty vards of it , as there is a curve on the line at that place , and no signals had been displayed to give them an intimation of it . At the moment of the collision , the _passengers _, twelve in number , were thrown with great
violence from their seats , and upon the _stoppage ot tno tram at about twenty vards from where the collision happened , they rushed out iu great alarm , when it was found that they were all bruised in various parts of their bodies , but none of them had apparently received any seriousi injuries . Unon inquivy . it _-wr . _s ascertained thnt the _eiigvne into which the mail train had run was on its way from South Shields to Newcastle , and was in _chaise of drunken men , one of whom , after the accident , was observed by all the passengers who noticed him , to be incapable even of taking care of himself , and one passenger directed the attention of a police officer to him . It appeared that the fires had been neglected , and the steam becoming exhausted , the engine camo to a standstill at the very moment the mail train was due . Tho two engines and tenders were nearly smashed to pieces . It is almost a miracle that no lives were lost .
Accidext to Mr . Lewis RicAimo , M . P . — _Aa . Mr . Ricardo was riding along Rotten-row , on Monday _eveninj . ' , at a very moderate pace , his horse stumbled at one of the numerous imperfect spots in the road , and slipped up on his side . The honourable member lost his seat , and pitched heavily on his left shoulder . Several parties ran to his assistance , and" ho speedily recovered himself , and proceeded to hisresidence in _Lowndes-square . Mr . Teevan , of Chesham-street , who was sent for , saw the honourable member a very short time after his arrival at home , and , on examination , discovered a dislocation of the shoulder , which ho at once reduced . Mr . Ricardo is progressing favourably , and is not likely to suffer more than a temporarv inconvenience from the accident .
_JiLt Down a Precipice . —A fatal occurrence has just taken plare at Pont-y-1 w _, in the vicinity of _Ogwen Lake , to a little boy , son of Mr . Charles Jnnes , master of a school established by the lion . Colonel Douglas Pennant , at the above place . The child missed his footing and fell down a precipice upwards of thirty feet high . He was killed on the spot . To add to the painfulness of this distressing calamity , another child of Mr . Jones' died suddenly the same day .

The violence of tho mate ( Sehwarz _) was deposed to by two English carpenters _, who were passing . The jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter , " and the prisoner was committed to _Iviikdale Gaol to take his trial at the neit assizes .
_Dbat / 7 of a Womax ix a _Povce STATio $ . ~ On Tuesday Mr . P . iyne held an inquest at the St . George _' 3 Workhouse , _Southw . _iik . on the body of Eunice Kingmore , aged _twu _' vonc , who dieti on Sunday last at the station-house , Stonc ' send . Several policemen of the M divison , and a woman who was locked up with deceased , deposed that tbe deceased was found drunk in the Dover-road about nine o ' clock on Saturday evening , and locked up in a cell in which three other women were placed . Deceased appeared very ill all the _nurht , but did not complain till the morning about ten o ' clock , when one of the women having some tea brought to her , she gavo the deceased some ; and on tho police _beins ; made acquainted with her illness , they immediately sent for the police surgeon of tho district , but on his arrival life was extinct . A juror inquired if the defeased had any refreshment up to tho timelhe woman gave
her the tea . The superintendent of police , who was in attendance , replied that persons locked up are allowed to have anything brought to them , except beer or spirits ; and if they are destitute , and locked up all d ; iy , they are allowed three-pennyworth of tea or coffee and bread and butter j but nothing more , except in extraordinary cases . Mrs . Squire , sister of deceased , stated that she did not believe that her sister wa 3 drunk at the time she was taken up . She had been-ill for sometime , and had been fire times in the hospital with an affection of the heart , and inclination to consumption ; and sueh was the peculiar nature of her complaint , that she would fall down in the street in a kind of fit , and for houw after would appear to be intoxicated . Witness had seen her since her death , and
there was a large bruise at the bottom of her stomach , which appeared to have been caused by a kick . Policeconstable Lewin was _re-examined , and proved that the deceased smelt strongly of liquor ; nnd a woman named Gubhins corroborated this statement , and added that she was in the habit of getting intoxicated : Mr . Odling , tbe police surgeon , gave it as his opinion that the deceased had died of affection of tho heart , which had produced congestion of the lungs . The marks ! spoken of by deceased ' s sister was not the result of a blow hut was merely a greenness caused by decomposition . The jury , upon this testimony , returned a verdict of Jvatural Death ; " but they considered that moro direct attention ought to be paid to persons who were taken to tha station-house in a state of insensibility .

The deceased screamed with agony , and was immediately taken by the mother to a chemist ' s shop , where sweet oil and other remedies were applied . The child was afterwards removed
to the hospital , where the resident apothecary rendered every possible assistance , but the deceased lingered in frightful agony until Sunday morning , when he died . Mr . Birch hid been attending five females who had taken various kinds of poisons ; the latter he attributed to the reckless manner in which they were sold at chemists' shops . _Ife was utterly astonished to think government did not adopt some plan to check the present sale of deadly poisons in the metropolis . The coroner said in tbe case of the deceased , there was no doubt it was an accident , although the mother was much to blame for leaving the potash in suoh a dangerous position . The jury concurring returned a verdict of "Accidental Death . "

He therefore took his wile hy the arm , in order to place her inside and get by without insult , but tbe fellows again got before them , and one of them , without
tbe slightest provocation on his part , aimed such a heavy blow at him tha * , on its unfortunately missing him and striking his wife , it sent her reeling hack several paces , and , but for her coming into violent contact with a brick wall , she must have dropped on the pavement . Seeing that his wife was so shaken and injured that she was nearly fainting , he left the prisoners to catch her , and was supporting her on his arm , when both men rushed in upon him and beat him about the head and face with their fists in the most savage manner , one , whose name was Marlow _, finally dealing bim a heavy Wow under ths eye , _h-McIi brought him to the ground . He quickly recovered his leet , and tried to defend himself by keeping them off until the police came up , hut his assailants instantly renewed their attack upon him , flung _bini down several times in succession , and in one of the falls his leg was so severely injured by striking _ajainst the kerbstone that he was for some time apprehenit broke

NAVAL AND MILITARY NEWS LAUNCH OP THE AGAME . MN _ON This fine screw steam ship of ninety guns , nnd COO _horsflpower , was launched on Saturday The _steam-hoats to Woolwich were _well-filled , and soon after Clvat numbers of persons arrived by the North Woolwich Railway and took m > their position on the Essex side of ihe Thames opposite tiie dockyard , where they would have an excellent view of the vessel as she entered tbe water . The cro _* ds who rushed to the London-bridge terminus of the North Kent Railway after twelve o ' clock rendered it necessary to put on long special trains at very short intervals , and it is gratifying to state that , although the number of passengers was far beyond what might have been anticipated , not the slightest accident occurred at the railways nor in any other quarter to mnv the general satisfaction of the spectators , of whom there could not have been lost than from 90 , 000 to 100 , 000 present . There w ere upwards of 1 , 000 persons on board the Agamemnon when launched , including the pensioners , who had served in the old
Agamemnon . At half-past two o ' clock the Duke of Northumberland , First Lord of the Admiralty , with the Duchess , iind other _noteables , proceeded on board . The usual ceremony of breaking a bottle of wine over the ships bows was performed by Mr . lledun . Immediately afterwards the noble ship was loosened , and in a few minutes was sailing in her future element , amidst the cheers of the assembled thousands . The Agamemnon was built very rapidly , her keel having only been laid in December , 1819 . Her engines , of C _00-horse power , are to be fitted by John Penn and Son , on their patent trunk-engine principle .
The Court Martial On Captain Iiawkby, R....
THE COURT MARTIAL ON CAPTAIN IIAWKBY , R . M . That our readers may understand this case we have to narrate that Lieutenant Swain , the aggrieved person , had been ou visiting and intimate terms with Captain Hawkey and his wife . From certain rumours which had been afloat Captain Hawkey was induced to forbid Lieutenant Swain to visit his house in his absence . Evidence was adduced to the effect , that oriminal intercourse had taken place between Lieutenant Swain and Mrs . nawkey . Captain nawkey was -tinwilling to beliere in h _; _s wife ' s infidelity for some time ; but from the actions of
Lieuteuant Swain , Captain Hawkey was almost driven to madness . On the 26 th of last month Lieutenant Swain met Captawv Ilawkey and his wife as they were walking at Woolwich , when the latter let go her husband ' s arm to shake hands with Lieutenant Swain , and spoke of her engagement to dance with the Lieutenant at a soiree that night , notwithstanding her husband had fobiddon it . This led to tho altercation which had brought about this courtmartial . The address of Captan Hawkey ( during the delivery which the Captain was often moved to tears ) was highly affecting . _Wooiwioir , Mat 22 .
The court-martial held on Captain Henry Charles _Moovehead Hawkey , of the Woolwich division of Royal Marines , having concluded its sittings , and tho finding and sentence of the Court having been confirmed by tho Lords of the Admiralty , we are now permitted to promulgate them . The following is the charge on whioh Captain nenry Charles Moorehead Hawkey was tried by a court martini , of which Colonel George Batt Bury , Royal Marines , was president : — "For conduct unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman , in having , on the 26 th day of April , 1 S 52 , in the public road between Woolwich and Charlton , in tho county " of Kent , violently assaulted and struck First Lieutenant Henry Thomas Swain , of the Woolwich division of Royal Marines , such conduct being in breach of tho Articles of War . "
The evidence for the prosecution occupied the Court ono day , and for the defence two days , and extended to a great length , and is of such a nature that it would not be justice to either party to give an abstract only of it . The following is the finding and sentence of the Court , ' : — "Fisdi . vo . " Tbe Court having maturely weighed and considered the evidence in support of tho prosecution , together with what the prisoner has urged in his defence , and the evidence in support of it * , taking also into consideration tho
great and Ions ; continued provocation he baa received , and the very peculiar nature of that provocation , is of opinion that he , tho prisoner , _Cuptaia Henry Charles Moorehead Hawkey , of the Woolwich division of Itoyal Marines , is guilty of having violently assaulted First Lieutenant Swaine , of the Woolwich division of Royal Marines , at the time and place stated ia the charge , but that he is not guilty of conduct unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman , and tho Court therefore moat fully and honourably acquit him of that part of the charge . "
" _Seste . vck . " The Court having found the prisoner guilty of part of the chago preferred against him , which being in breach of the Anfcle 3 of War , and taking into consideration the very high character given of tho prisoner , do now sentence him , the prisoner , Captain Henry Charles Moorehead nawkey , of the Woolwich division , to bo reprimanded , " RoyalMarine Barracks , Woolwich , May 17 , 1 S 52 .

Garotte Robbery And Murder Hull, May 22....
GAROTTE ROBBERY AND MURDER Hull , May 22 . —This morning , at an early hour , great excitement was created in the town by the report that a young man , well known among the commercial firms here as engaged in the house of Thomas and Co ., merchants , as a clerk in the cashier's department , had been robbed and murdered last night . The report turned out , unhappily , to be true . It appears that a policeman , on going his rounds at three this morning in Prospect-placp , a cul-de-sac street with houses on one side only , built on the eastern suburbs of the town , discovered at daybreak the body of a young man lying on the edge of a ditch which separates the road in front of these houses from a piece of wasteland which they overlook . He at once communicated with the sergeant
on dutv , and they aroused the nearest surgeon , Mr . Boulter , of Dra ypool , who , with a feeling that does htm infinite credit , _asaisted to convey the body to his own bouse , when it was in a short time identified as that of Mr . F . W . Maplethorpe , residing with his father , a retired tradesman , in the abovenamed street ; marks of a scuffle on the pavement and the dragging of a body across the road were perceivable , showing " that the poor youth had been attacked within a few feet of his own threshold . The external appearances of the body indicated that death had been occa & ioned by suffocation , no marks of violence being observed , hut some scratches as of human nails upon each cheek . A gold watch , which the deceased carried , had been torn from bis waistcoat pocket , and bis money to the amount of about dEll had also been taken from , his person . Immediately after the discovery , Mr . M . _'Manus , tbe chief constable of
police , was on the alert , and at eleven o ' clock to-day two men , giving the names of John Snape and John Smith , who had been apprehended in a low lodging house , were placed at the bar of the police court on a charge of murder and highway robbery , and remanded till Tuesday next . An inquest was held on the body this day , and adjourned till Wednesday next . The evidence on both these inquiries went to show lbat the prisoners , being strangers in Hull , bad , immediately after the murder was supposed to have been committed , taken a cab from the centre of the town for a 2 s . drive on the Beverley road , and there dismissed the cabman ; tbat the prisoner Snape had some scratches and bruises on his hands and arms , and that his clothing was torn and muddy , the earth on them bearing a resemblance to that which formed the bank of the ditch where the corpse was found .
_EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONERS . Hull , Tuesday , May 25 . —This morning Juhn Snape and John Smith , each about twenty-three years of age , were placed at the bar of the police-court , before the Mayor and a full bench of magistrates , on a charge of having perpetrated tbe above murder and robbery . —Watson , a detective policeman , deposed that he apprehended the prisoners in a low lodging-house in West-street at eight o ' clock on Saturday morning . They were sleeping in a double-bedded room—and a woman was in bed with Snape , whose jacket and boots witness immediately took possession of . The former was covered with dirt , and the boots had mud on them similar in appearance to that of the ditch where _deceased was found . Snape had two bruises on his arm , and
a _«< _Wl wound on the back of his hand , as if made by a himan nail . He said those marks had been occasioned in a fight with a man in Paragon-street on the previous evening , and both prisoners said that they wete in bed before ten o'clock , A few shillings only were found on them . James Spoyle , a private in the 2 lst Fusiliers , quartered in this town , deposed that on Friday night he left the barracks about half-past nine , and on reaching the corner of Dry poolplace , he observed two men . Thinking that he knew one of them , be went up to them , and saw Snipe ' s features distinctly .

THE ENGLISH SUBJECT SENTENCED TO DEATH BY THE POPE . Mr . Murray , who has been sentenced to death by the Secret Tribunal of the Pope , is , as now appears , the son of a late captain of the 8 th Regiment of Foot , and , as will he s _*> _en by the following letters , a member of a family long _coir-ec ' ted with the English army . The mother of the unfortunate _tuua w'as a native of the Ionian Islands , and Murray himself was born in Italy ; whilst his pareti _.-s were staying Airatims in 'has country . When the democratic party obtained power in Rome yonng Murray was an _ardest promuter of thi-ir views , and thus earned the animosity of the priestly party . On the overthrow of the Republicans , Murray was apprehended , and his long imprisonment has often be ' _en _referred to in the letters of the Roman correspondent
of the " Daily News . " His friends in _Etnland had corresponded with the English consul about his detention and their hop ? . s of the ultimate release of their relative were strengthened by a letter received from that gentleman—an extract of which we give—in which he expresses a distinct belief in Murray ' s innocence , and alludes to the causes that prolonged the legal proceedings . His relatives in this country—not supposing parliamentary interference necessarylived on in hope that time and innocence would ensure the release of the prisoner . Great wa 3 their horror to see by the newspaper-despatch that Murray , without open trial , was to _terminal his long imprisonment by a public execution . His aunt , the writer of the letter signed " An Englishwoman , " published in our paper last Aveek _, went in a state of destraction to the representative of the Pope in this countrv , Cardinal Wiseman , in tbe hope of gaining his
intercession for mercy—if not justice—but she was not _permitled to see the Cardinal ; she then went off to that _disthie , mshed member of our Catholic nobility , Lord Arundel and Surrey , and urgently supplicated his signature to a petition to the Pope to save Murray ' s life . This plea for mercy Lord Arundel and Surrey coldly refused to sign . Tbe _destractcd lady could not understand this apathy of a Christian to plead for the life of a fellow-creature and fellow-subject : —she forgot tbe politics of the condemned . Meanwhile the Duke of Argyll had mentioned the subject in the House of Lords—and tbe " Times" had published a leading article on Murray ' s case , pointing out the pleas under which our Tory Foreign Secretary might well escape from all trouble in the matter ; and making Murray ' s impending execution a peg on which to hang an argument for adding another costly ambassador to our present list of those expensive inefficiencies . The following is the correspondence : —

' Young _Murray ' s arrest is on _suspicion of _havins ; participated _intke crimes of tbe red republicans . I _cousider him innocent of this heinous charge , but guilty of much imprudence during our recent period of anarchy . ' In a postscript lie adds , 'I omitted to mention that the trial in which , young Murray is concerned seems interminable .

My Lord Bufce , —As your grace has so humanely interposed on behalf of Mr . Edward Murray , who after being confined in prison three years before bis tiial , is now under sentence of death , I , tbe aunt of that unfortunate prisoner , not yet thirty years of a ; e , _fecg to state that Ma father , grandfather , _twogieatunnles , two uncles , and three cousins , were all officers of tlic British ai my , inactive service during the war _extending over a period of sixty years . I think , therefore , his claims on the interference of her Majesty ' s government are very strong . I am sorry to add that his father ' s death , which took place about two years since , was much hastened by excessive grief , brought , on iu consequence of my nephew ' s unfortunate position . —I have the honour to remain , my lord duke , your grace ' s most humble and obliged servant , Jane _L'Estbange , THE DUKB OF _ABOrtD , TO MBS .

Madam , —I regret very much to hear that one so nearly connected with officers of tne British army should be circumstanced ns iMr . Murray is reported to be . I fear , however , from the fact of no appeal to the British government having been mado for SO long a time on his behalf , tbat the situation in which he had placed himself did not appear to his relatives to hold out much prospect of success in the event of such appeal being made . I am , madam , your obedient servant , Aegill . KB . I _' _JSSTBASGE To THE DUKE OF ARGrrX . 15 , _Mornington-road , May 22 , 1852 . _Si ' y Lord Duke , —Thanking your Grace ior the reply to my wife ' s communication , I beg to inform your Grace I have since referred to a letter written to me by Mr . Moore eight months after Mr . Miir . ray ' s imprisonment , by which your Grace will perceive that the exact nature of _iSis accusa ion was not made known to us , neither
was it suggested that any application ta her Majesty ' s government was necessary . The extracts ( given above ) will show to your Grace we were not maws acquainted with the full particulars , and were quite ignorant that a memorial could have benefited him . Had we been batter informed on the subject , er < _ry exertion should have been made on my part to have obtained an earlier interference of government . My wife is tbe only relative of his late father . His other relations are on the mother ' s side , all _residing abroad . It is through the public papers the news of his dreadful situation reached us . as wo have not received any letters from his family for nine months , which h is much surprised us , I herewith forward the extracts for your Grace ' s perusal , ns your Grace has been pleased to bring forward the case of the unfortunate young man , and _Ihave th ; honour to remain your Grace ' s most humble , obedient , and much obliged servant , p .

Championship Op Tiie Thames The Champion...
CHAMPIONSHIP OP TIIE THAMES The championship of the Thames , ( ho first of tho threo great sporting events of the weolv , was contested on Monday , and so extraordinary a boat race was never seen . After the most gallant struggle on _record , from the first to the last , over a course of nearly four miles and a half , tho ohampion of the Thames and Tyne , the hero of nearly half a hundred desperate conflicts , the pride of tho Thames , sustained a defeat . It had been thought that ho was as good aa ever ; that nothing in the shape of humanity could wrest from him his" mastery o ' evthc flood , " and so sanguine were the expectations of his friends that Robert Ooombes , of whom wo speak as he who held the proud distinction , was at the moment of starting absolutely backed by many at
two to ono , nnd a very large amount of money has changed owners upon the result , which was certainly unexpected by tho very best judges of acquatica . Some notion may be formed of the interest the match created when wo mention that no less than ten steamers , some densely crowded , accompanied the match , to say nothing of the thousands ranged along the course and in every description of craft . The match was for £ 200 a side besides the honorary _distinction we have before noticed ; and the competitors , Robert Coombes , the champion of many years' standing , and Thomas Cole , of Chelsea , who aspired to that honour . The former has been betove the public for tho last twenty years , and earned such extraordinary reputation for the * preeminence in the art , tbat many , despite his being in his forty-third year , considered him invincible .
The distance was from _Putney-bridge to Mortlake , and the attendance of spectators was the greatest we ever saw at sueh a race . Betting was brisk at six and seven to four on Coombes , and in some instances two to one . At a little after five both men rnwod to their station , Cole having tbe choice , and taking the Middlesex side of the centre arch . Royal was umpire for Coombes , Salter for Cole , and Mr . E . Searle officiated as referee . Coombes dashed his sculls in the water with almost the rapidity of lightning , aad took a lead of something like a quarter of a length , which he retained for only about twenty yards , and then they v > eie scull and scull , and no two rowing men ever so ably displayed the perfection of style , while their pace was surprising . The speed of both was unabated , and the cheers of encouragement by the partisans of either rent the air . Both shot through the wafer towards
Hammersmithbridge , Surrey pier , and the dashing work of Cole put him through the bridge a clear length and a half in advance , but between this and Cliiswick Eyot the " old one" had applied himself so vigorously to his task that their referee called the particular attention of the umpires to the position of the boats , Coombes having forced his way within a yard or so of bis opponent , and his rowing was here so strong that his friends began to look up , but although he continued stroke after stroke for three minutes in the same position Cole again increased the gap between them to a _beat ' s length . On nearing the railway bridge at Barnes it was again lessened by another desperate effort of Coombes , but he could not get in front , and although he rowed as Jong as nature would serve him he could not win , although by dint of the most determined exertion he decreased his adversary ' s lead . Cole kept in advance , and won by half a clear length , doing the distance in twenty-nine minutes twelve seconds .
The Last Op Im Jacobites.—Janet Munro, O...
The Last op im Jacobites . —Janet Munro , or M'Kenzie , departed this life at Alness , in Ross-shire , on tho 18 th ultimo , and was interred in the burying ground of Rosekeen on the 10 th . If we aro not misinformed , Janet , at the period of her decease , was the oldest woman in Scotland , if not in Great Britain , for she was at least 110 years of age , and there is reason to believe that she was even more . She had a child ' s recollection of the great national event of the battle of Culloden , and from many of her nearest relations , the Munros and M'Kenzies _, having been " out in that romantic and daring enterprise , she could detail a whole _oataloeuo of curious incidents conted with
nec these eventful times , which , from her retired mode ot life and comparatively remote residence , never ound their way into print , In Janet Munro we beiievo there has passed away tho last inhabitant of Scotland who was alive when Charles Edward held state in Holyrood , or sliulkod as a hunted deer amongst the Western Isles . She was a staunch Jacobite till her dying day , and was , wo havo no doubt , the last individual in the British dominions who conscientiously believed that her Majesty held the Crown by an unlawful tenure . It _j 8 strange to think of what has passed during the five score years and ten which havo elapsed since this venerable crono was christened . She was m the prime of life when tho TTnitprf States of _America
were English colonies ; she was become elderly before _X » - poleon gained his first battle ; and she had lapsed into old a _? e before steamers or locomotive railwavs were heard of . Janet bolonged to the respectable class o ' f smali farmers ; she was a woman of unblemished character , and was a widow for the period of _ft-rty-threc years . She retained till her last moments the exercise of her mental faculties , and previous to her last illness could read the smallest print With the naked eye . " Tho Empress of Russia is in a very weak state , hardly able to rise from her couch . Her eyesight suffers very much , ono eye be ing nearly lost .

_mc . .. « uw . _, uc management ot Mr . John _Elli * » i ue consequence of the alarming frequency of accident , ' to the one we have now to describe , had received •" n , lat tions from Mr John _llarereaves that , in case of the Tu _*' appearance of danger , the works should he _stopned n l caution was communicated to the firemen , TlionW _« is and John Watmough , whose duty it was to _ex « min mine every morning , previous to the coomencem . !* . work ; the former taking the southern portion Z _.. latter taking the northern part , more particularly tn 2 i the current of pure air , there being comparati vely 5 formed in that direction . Altogether neatly 200 men m eaiployed in the colliery ; and of these about fifty „ _J " went down about six o ' clock to commence wotk . An I and a half before that time the two firemen had _descenln and proceeded to their several departments , to ascert whether or not there was any dangerous _aceumuJatfon ( gas . On making his round , Smith , whose duty , as ahead stated , was to examine the southern workings , foim , } _») , „ 1
_^ it ... _il—nn t . n « l „_ . 111 ... . 1 ! J '"* OH at the three bottom pillars to be in a very dangerous cond ' tion , upon which he returned to one of the main _air-door little below the pit-e . ye , where the men were wailing fcr Y mission until he had concluded his examination ; _gn ( | ' plaining his position of the dangerous places , he ' told tl * colliers that none were to go down that " shunt" Kjt „ naked light , but they were allowed to go into tke { 1 workings on the brow , where there _was no eme lot mJ _hension . Leaving his son at the door , to warn wiv who might subsequently come down , Smith procee ded in » northerly direction towards the Old Coppull Pitt , _jn or to procure by ventilation a current of pure air , and to di * place the noxious _vspour which had accumulated during \{ night . No sooner , however , had he left the men , than obi of them , named Thomas _Gregson , with a recklessness of consequences peculiar to his class ,. passed through the air-door with a naked candle , and was followed h y four or _UveothtTs and , after they had proceeded some distance down the brow '
many of their comrades , encouragad by their assurances inji ! tated their foolhardy example . One of the workmen _^' more cautious than the rest , remonstrated with them on the peril they were incurring , but , being disregarded , he went to the pit-shaft , and informed John Ellis , jun . ( who acted as super . intendent in the absence of his father , ) of what was taking place , upon which he immediately hurried down the htow where he overtook a number of the men , whom hs ordered ( o return , remarking that every man who had disobeyed the firemen's orders would he fined 5 s . Passing them , " he fol . lowed those who hr , d gone first , and while the former were
retracing their steps to the pit-mouth a tremendous evplo . _sion was heard , followed by two others of less violence , which instantly diffused the greatest consternation throughout the mine . Those who had been commencing work ia the side levels hurried on their clothes , and rushed precipitately into the main road or Down-brow , but on reaching it they were almost suffocated by the cloud of ( Inst and slack which had been raised by the explosion in consequence of the dryness of the mine , and in the darkness and _suhsequent confusion many of them mistook their way , and , instead of going towards the pure air at the pit-eye , they went in an opposite direction , and were met bvthe " after damn "
which completely overpowered them . Nor did those who had taken the right direction fare better than their companions , for the deadly current pressed on _ihem with lightning speed , and nearly the whole of them were thrown to the ground in a state of all but insensibility . It was about a quarter to seven o ' clock » hen the men in attendance at the top ofthe pit were alarmed by the report , and , feeling satisfied that an explosion had taken place , _informa ' vioa was immediately sent to Mr . Ellis , who resides a short distance from the colliery . He was just leaving his house at tbe time to go on business to Southport ; but , hastening to tbe pit , he descended , and , notwithstanding the volume of "
chokedamp" and dust which wa 3 streaming to the pit-eye , lie proceeded on his hands and knees , followed by a few of those who had arrived from the northern part of the pit , to endeavour to extricate the sufferers . The first body found was that of Thomas Banks , a boy , who was then alive , and , giving instructions to those who followed to remove him to the pit-eye , Mr . Ellis proceeded down the brow , and , about six yards below , he came upon the dead body of the boy ' s father . Tbe next body found was that of a boy named Robert Smith , the fireman ' s son , who had been left lo warn the men against going into the dangerous places ; and further on John Farington , Samuel Howcroft , John Yates , and two boys , John Kilshaw and Robert Banks , were found , and got out alive . Notwithstanding the increasing density
of the " choke-damp , " Mr . ElUs _^ still piloted the way , in the hope of finding living men ; but , " a ! as ! he came upon a heap of fourteen dead and dying . They , also , _wem _reuorei Still eager to save life , and " hoping against hope" that his own son might yet survive , he went so far that he fell _Jum from exhaustion , a faint moan reanimated him , and , _m ' th a desperate effort , he reached another blackened corpse , finding it impossible to render further assistance in that direction , he returned to the pit ' s-mouth , and relays of _rotn were despatched in search of the bodies , all hope being abandoned that any could survive . Ultimately it was ascertained that thirty-two lives were lost , and sis were desperately injured . Two of these expired on Saturday . The following is a list of the killed : —
