      The Queen's Visit To Germany.

      THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO GERMANY .

      On Saturday Last, Almost Immediately Aft...

      On Saturday last , almost immediately after the prorogation of Parliament , ihe Queen and Prince Albert Mt _Buckingham Palace for Woolwich , where at five o'dock sue embarked on board the Royal yacbt for Antwerp on her visit to Germany . The Queen looked remarkably well and was attired in a Tuscan cottage bonnet trimmed with primrose-coloured rib bon , purple shot silk dress , and a black silk shawl . Tke Prince carried bis white kit ( immortalised in Panel ) iu his hand to the barge . lie wore a black surtout and French grey trousers , and light drab wrapper . A goodly muster of sight seekers and fools werepresent _i who of course annoyed the poor Queen witk their _impcrtinentstaring : and silly chatter . At _lialf-i > astuvenrceisclytUc _^ Royal yacht cast off ker

      moorings and proceeded at slow speed down the river . The yacht anchored in the lower " Sea Iteacb , nearly opposite Southend , on Saturday night , and at an early hour on Sunday morning sailed for the Scheldt . The Queen is expected to be absent about four weeks . How wear © to geton in the meantime goodness gracious only knows ! Peter Borthwick is in a sad flurry and expects nothing else but that President Polk , Prince Joinvillc , or King Dan , will be snugly located at Buckingham palace before her Majesty can return Peter thinks the accident to the crown ( which the stupid Duke of Argyle let fall out of his fingers ) h ominous of some _frightful calamity . Thank heaven thereisno Richard in the _war—thcDukcof Cumberland is safe in Hanover , otherwise Peter would insist upon having ihe lords justices to take care of the mural "liabW '

      _Ajrriraip . —The Royal yacht reached Antwerp on Sunday evening after a tempestuous passage . The voyagers , however , did not disembark till the next morning ( Monday ) , when the Queen and her husband enjoyed the usual reception . Tlie Royal party pro ceeded immediately to tbe Liege railway , of course attended by a vast number of people . At the Maline * and Louvain stations large numbers of people had assembled . Describing thc stoppage at ' thc Louvain station , the limes correspondent says , " The people received tbe Royal travellers witk * the customarv welcome . The quiet courtesy ofthe people seemed , lowever , not enough for a travelling Englishman who happened to be among them . lie setup at once the national hurrah . or rather , in his fashion , the

      'hoorav , ' and tried , bvactingas fugleman , to induce the rest to join . But the chorus was very faint . Thc train stopped , iowercr , fora / er moments , aud when it was once more in motion our Englishman again setup his cheer , waving his bat most energetically . By _fiiis time the people had entered into 'the _uumoar of it , ' - and they joined him with a cheer as hearty as could have been produced by any given number of John Bulls . The fugleman seemed intensely delighted at the result of his feat . " What an ass ! We arc sorry the poor annoyed Queen did not null this donkev _' s cars . Liege " was a scene of great

      excitement After a few minutes stoppage the train _proceeded on to Aix-la-Chapelle . Cologne , August 12 . — After leaving Liege the next place arrived At wa 3 Verviers , near the Prussian frontier . According to the Times here "there was a grand sensation . " Hero "the King and Queen of the Belgians , who had accompanied her Majesty thus far , took their leave of the travellers and turned about for Brussels . The next station at which tbe train stopped was Ilabersthal , the point at which the Prussian -territory commences . Here the Crown Prince of Prussia , made bis appearance immediately on the arrival ofthe train , lie went into the Royal

      carnage . The characteristic _enthusiasm of the Prussians was exhibited here also . The cheering was deafening . " At Aix-fci-ChapeHe " a similar scene was presented , but on aJargerscakv The Prussian troops lined the station , in which also there was a very large assemblage of Herren and Frauen . Here the * King of Prussia was waiting . " Here too there was " fir eing of salutes , " " triumphal arches , " " inimonse multitudes , " " enthusiastic cheering , " & c Here the Queen visited the tomb of Charlemagne , in the Cathedral . Theparty returned to tbe 3 _tation at akmt a quarter to fiw _/ _o ' _cloek , having been away altogsther three hours . In a few minutes the train was again in motion . At a small place , called Langenveide , the train stopped for a few _minnt-s , and again at Daren , " where there was a great display of Prussian beauties , troops , music , laurels , and enthusiasm . " But . according _totheJW * . " gratifvluir as the reccntion of her Majesty by

      thc Prussians must have already been , Cologne prcs-ntcd a still more striking spectacle . As the spires of the ancient city became visible in the distance , so abo were there signs that its vast population were on the stir . When the train ricared thc station , a dense mass of people were to he seen , who had collected there to view her Majesty ' s arrival . _ There were triumphal arches , festoons , bands of music , and above all , troops in abundance—in fact , the same scene which had been enacted at almost every station on the way down was now repeated , but on a gigantic scale . The whole population of the city seemed to have poured out ; so dense and so enormous was thc crowd . " Thc royal party left the railway for the private carriages , " which were drawn up outside thc station , and drove off at once to thc station of thc Bonn Railway . To d _3 this they had to pass through the principal " part of the city of Cologne . A short _tirm > mi tha Ttnnn _Ttnihr . _iv _brought the travellers to

      the Brahl station , close to the palace of the King of Prussia , " where her Afajesty arrived soon after in safety , in the presence of multitudes , who gave her a right hearty welcome . " Boss , Accost 12 . —This day the great musical festival and solemn inauguration of the statue of Beethoven took place here . The King of Prussia , Queen Victoria , aud Prince Albert , with their usual suites , arrived by the railroad from Briihl , at twelve o ' clock . The inaugural address was pronouueed hy Dr . _Brcidenstein , and then followed the festal song composed for thc occasion by the same professor , which was _baautifuliv executed . After the festal song their Majesties and suites appeared in thc balcony , and were received with a load burst of applause . The

      record was then signed by the members of the committee , stating that the inauguration liad taken place iu the presence of their Majesties the King of Prussia and the Q . aeen of England , aud was then deposited in the monument . The statue was ' then suddenly uncovered , and this was the signal for a loud burst of enthusiasm , which was iucrcascd but _notoverpowered by a salute of musketry and artilierv , the band performing one of Beethoven ' s favourite melodies . Tiestatue wasso placed [ that its back was turned towards thc balcony in which the lloyal partv were seated , reminding one of the story told of the great musician , and maintaining his peculiar characteristic to the last , of never taking off his hat to tho _-FmnmiF of Austria , or _navinsany homage

      to _Itovaltv . The total height o f the statue is 26 feet , _ofwluehiacpcdcstalinakcslofcet . Onthefour sides of the pedestal are allegorical emblems representing sviuphonic , _fatasic , dramatic , aud religious music , fhe statue is of bronze , and the countenance is strongly marked and expresive of great intellectual power , " ' Countless thousands were assembled from all parts of Germany , and the proceedings are described as having been most magnificent . The royal Tisiionslcft the town immediately after the inauguration . They afterwards embarked on hoard the Fairy yacht steamer at Brahl , and proceeded down

      the river to Cologne , the banks on either side being splendidly lighted up with flambeaux and tarbarrels . Cologne was one blaze of light . When thc steamer had arrived opposite the town , at a given signal the roof of the cathedral was suddenly illuminated with many thousand torches , presenting a laost splendid and extraordinary appearance when Tiewed irom the river . In a raft moored in the centre ofthe stream , a grand pyrotechnical display took place , ending with a device , styled "Le Bouquet de la Reiue _D'Anglctcrre , " consisting of a thousand rockets simultaneously discharged , and lighting up the banks of tlie Rhine for some miles on either side .

      _R ELATE FATAL COLLISIO-V ON THE _LOKDOK _ASD BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY . _ Adjourned Isqcest ox _titeBodt of Mil _Chakles Dean . —On Monday forenoon this inquiry was resumed . The jury , by a previous arrangement , assembled m thc lirst instance ai the Euston station , where they were afforded an opportunity of inspecting the remains of ihe broken carriages and trucks . 1 he jury having answered to their names , proceeded in company with the coroner to view the spot wfcere the accident occurred . They next examined the signals at the bridge , and questioned the ofiiccr on duty as to the mode of working them under different circumstances . Subsequently they proceeded to the mouth of the tunnel , where the same course of

      examination ofthe officer on dutv and inspection ofthe signal was adopted . Returning to the bridge a number of carriages and trucks were placed upon the line in the exact position of those to which the accident occurred , the result being : that the jury were enabled very clearly to . understand the maimer in which the collision took place . On thc return of thejury to the inquest room , i \ Ir . John Thomas Grifhths said he was one of the house surgeons at University Hospital , and saw deceased immediatel y after his admission . On examination witness found that tueleft leg below , the knee was drcadfullv lacerated and the _ bone _sinci crushed . A consultation was held , and Mr . Liston having pronouueed amputation necessary , the operation was-performed by Mr Morton four hours after admission . The deceased went on well for three or four daysbut on Mondav last

      , his countenance became anxious , the constitutional system began to weaken , and he graduall y sank , and died on the morning of the 5 th instant . Witness had since , by direction of the coroner , made a ' inst mortem examination of the body , which discovered extensive mortification of the muscles of thc left leg , extending some distance up the thigh . Witness considered the immediate cause of death to have been exhaustion arising from excessive irritation of the stump . The deceased had been a very free liver , and that might account for the accident having terminated fatally . Had the leg not been amputated he might not have lived twenty-four hours . Withes . asked deceased no questions on the subject of th accident , because he felt it necessary tbathcshoulde be kept as quiet as possible ; but he heard him say on one occasion that when the collision occurred he

      was sitting in the carriage with his back . _* ° engine , and that thc shock forced him forward against the opposite scat by which his knee was crushed . Witness did not hear Mr . Dean express any opinion on thc subject of the accident . The Coroner : Have you any donbt that the injuries deceased sustaiued by the accident caused his death ? Witness : None whatever . —John liaise was here introduced : He said , I am a police constable ( No . 95 ) , in the service of the London aiid Birmingham Railway , and reside at No . 2 , Ferdinand-place , Uampsteadroad . I was on daty at the " crossing" near Chalk Farm Bridge , on the " moriiiiig of the 29 th ult . I was there when tfiecollision between the trains took place , and was the first to run to thc _carriacc in which Mr .

      Dean was . It was the third carriage from the tender attached to thc engine of the up train . I do not know the number of that engine . " ., ( A gehtlerhancon nccted with thc company here ' stated that the engine was numbered 01 . ) ' The spot where tlie collision took place wasa short distance upon the London side of the Chalk Farm Bridge . The carriages of the up train were uponlthe rails when the accident occurred ; anda portion of thc luggage trucks were upon the " crossing . " Mr . Dean was taken out ofthe carriage _abont live minutes after the accident and conveyed upon a truck to the Euston station and thence to the hospital . The collision took place about three minutes after five o ' clock . 1 had fears there would be an accident as soon as I saw the incoming

      tram coming up . The fog was so thick at this time that I could not see more than five or six yards before mc . The incoming traiH is called thc Liverpool and Lancashire mail . I was on duty at the " crossing , " and it was my duty to " shunt" the luggage trucks from the " sidings" on to the main line . I had been on duty about ten hours aiid a half when the accident occurred . _^ Directly after I first saw thc engine of thc up train it struck the luggage train . ' ' The latter is called the first Binniiigliam train from London , and its proper time for starting is 4 . 15 A . V . - It was three minutes past five when the collision took place , and the luggage train was crossing on to the mainline at the time . The train was not actually in motion , it had been standing still about a minute . Therewere

      two engines attached to the front of the luggage tram , Nos . SS and 90 . I believe there were as many as forty-seven waggons in the luggage train . Three of them were struck by the up-traiii engine , the point where the latter came in contact being about the sixteenth orseventceuth truck from . the tender ., The names of thedrivers " of those engines were'William Finch and George Grace . The luggage- train was stopping at the moment of the' collision ; ' because we liadfour more . waggons to attach to it ; ' Theluggage train was forty-eight minutes behind time in starting that morning ; hut if the mail - ' train liad net come up when it did , in another minute the line ' would' have been clear , r I account for the delay in starting the train by the extra .. quantity , of . goods to be conveyed that _ilioraing . I hare never _Jqiown a _tiairi' with a greater number of _trucks ' starfat its proper tinfc I

      have seen as many as forty-nine or fifty waggons in one train . At . this stageof theinquiry one -of the jurors { Mr . Gray ) was suddenly taken ill , aud after some delay one of the medical men in attendance entered the court an _< l gave it as his opinion that as the gentleman waslabouringundera severe attack of palpitation of the heart , arising fiom __ excttemeut , it would be very desirable to dispense with his services if the coroner could do so . Mr . Gray was ultimately led into court , and having expressed his inability to take any further part in the proceedings that Jay , the coroner at once determined to adjourn the inquiry , remarking that he thought very little time would be lost by such an arrangement , as they might then be able to obtain the evidence of several important witnesses who did not appear to be present on that occasion . The inquiry was then formally adjourned until Thursday .

      Tbe AwoonsED Inquest was resumed _yeslerday morning , at half-past nine o'clock , at the Orange Tree Tavern , George-street , New-road . The names of the jury having been called over , it was found that all were present with the exception of Air . Grey , who still continued so much _indisposed as to be unable to take part in the proceedings ; the coroner , accordingly , with the consent of the jury , discharged him from his onerous oltice . A number of witnesses were then examined for whose evidence we cannot find room , but thc reader will be able to form a pretty correct idea of what transpired from the coroner ' s summing up . At the conclusion of the " examination '" of ' the witnesses , the inquiry was instituted to ascertain the cause of the death of Mr . Chas . Dean , which took

      place , according to the evidence of Martha Herbert , the uursc in the University Hospital , on the 5 th of August , seven daysaftcr the accident , aud therecould _bcnodoubt that his death was caused 'in consequence of a collision between two trains on the London and Birmingham Railway . The coroner then summed up the evidence in a few but very comprehensive words , calling the attention of thc jury to the leading points of the case . He then proceeded to take a view of the whole case , and observed that the company must be liable for any injury sustained by the accident ; hut what the jury had to look at and ascertain was , whether those arrangements were made on that occasion which were calculated to avert accidents , and prevent the sacrifice of human

      life . SowthoscstateinentstheyhadheardwereTery important , and they would weigh them carefully in their miuds , to ascertain the causes , and judge who were thc blamcablc parties . With reference to the mail-train coming before its usual time , no satisfactory information had been given . The guard had " been called , who stated that he had no authority to stop thc driver if he was going too fast , his simple duty ; being to start the driver and intimate on thc road if there were any thing in dauger . He thought there wassomcthiug extraordinary in the arrangements of the line at the time ofthe accident . From the time table it appeared that the train three times during the month of July was earlier than its proper time by fifteen minutes , on one occasion by

      seventeen miuutcs , aud on another by twelve . Ihcn came the question , was that a breach of the defined and clearly understood regulations of a railway . The examination on that point had elicited what seemed to him a very curious state of affairs , because they could not discover that any of those men who came in earlier than their proper time , had ever been subjected _toanrfuie , received any punishment , dismissal , or even been reported . From the practices he had pursued , Hunsworth ( the driver ) was not labouring under the idea that he had been doing anything wrong incoming in earlier than his usual time . He did not appear to be sensible of the offence he had committed . In fact , he seemed to fancy lie was gaining favour in the sight of his employer , and by thus

      coming in before his lime , thought he should be looked upon by them as a sharp ami active _^ man . Under such an impression acting upon his mind , the wonder was , not that the accident had happened , but that it had not happened before , _jind it was to him ( the coroner ) a miracle that they had escaped so long . That there had been irregularities , it was quite clear , but in those cases it was very diflicult to find out who was the responsible _^ person . _Aow , the two parties who were placed in the most responsible position , with reference to any criminal proceedings , were Hunsworth and _trost . it was _imnosslble to do otherwise than to consider that the

      they were the two acting masters of occasion , one being the master over the mail train , and the other the master of ; the luggage train . He spoke with reference to their actual power at that time . It was the duty of Frost to see that the luggage train started from the station at a correct _perioif , and he had been called upon to show why it had not been so . Hunsworth ought to have comeinto the station at twenty-two minutes past fireoclocS , instead of which he had arrived there at three minutes past , that being nineteen minutes before his correct time . Now it must be quite clear that , in either case , if the obligations which had been apparently imposed uponthesetwo men had been discharged , if each

He ( the coroner ) considered the greatest danger must be apprehended from trains . arriving tho late , _oivtoo early , at the ¦ terminus ; aud he trusted further

      nrecaution would : be taken to ensure rcgularityr The jury were to take all : these things into account and form tlieir verdict accordingly . . He did think-that all persons who employed men in such perilous duties , perilous not only to themselves , but also to the public —that it was impossible to be too precise in the directions they gave for the execution of their _ends / Vfhat a man ought to know plainly , as he knows his ' alphabet , every duty he was to discharge , and a punishment ought to he inflicted for the neglect of that duty with the precision of military discipline . Airoveiveaching of time without the party having suffered any penalty - ov inconvenience , - had , he was afraid , . led ; to this melancholy , accident . — The jury retired at half-past three o ' clock to consider their verdict . Affer an absence of " an hour and a quarter , they returned into ; thc inquest room , ' and having answered to their names , the foreman handed

      in the following written verdict : — " We find the deceased , Charles Dean , died from an injury to his left leg , caused hy an aeckicntal collision of trains on the Londun and Birmingham Railway ; near to Canidcn Town ; and that the ' _engine , riumbered 90 , belonging to the company of thatrailway , moved to thedeath of the deceased , and that its value was . £ 1000 , and tlicyinitkc a _Deodasd on the said engine to the extent of Oxe Tiiousasd Povjsbs . In delivering this verdict , the jury express their opinion , that the laws and regulations of the London and Birmingham Railway Company , for the guidance of tlieir servants ; have been carried out very inefficiently for some time past ; and further , thejury consider that the area of the Camden Town station , and the system of rails there laid down , are too much cramped and limited , consistentiy with the public safety . " The jury having signed thc inquisition , separated at a quarter past five o ' clock .

      ;¦" . ; MURDER AT LEICESTER . Leicester , Monday . A murdcrof amostappalling character has occurred here this morning . A young man , about four or five and twenty , named William Hubbard , a framework knitter , had lived with his wife for some time past in a small tenement leading out of what is cailcd the Newarkly , occupying it jointly with his brother , who is also married . Thc matrimonial career of the former , though but of three years' duration , has , it is said , been most uuhappy from its commencement . She is reported to have been a still , steadv _, hardworking woman , and he , on the contrary , ' to have been improvident and idle . They had been poorlv off for some time , and he was determined to fall upon unionnils

      me , ins wile resisted strenuously , declaring her intention of proceeding to liinninghami where her mother aud a sister reside , and there earn her own maintenance . This rooming was fixed upon by-her for her departure thoncc . About six o ' clock her husband , who , in consequence of their disagreements , liad slept at his mother ' s over night , knocked at the door , desiring his wife tolet him in . Shccame down stairs , with but her night-clothes on , and had no sooner opened the door than a scream was heard , and the brotherand . his wife ,, coining down , on the instant , the _hnforthnntewohmn , the wife of William Hubbard , was found weltering in her blood , with a

      frightful gash in her throat ; indeed , she was onlv noticed to give one deep sigh ere she expired ; The murderer He'd immediatel y down a lane leading to the Leicester Carial _^ 'aloiig _the'towing path of which he ran some hundred yards , anil ; crossing' into a Miv Stvetton ' s field , hid himself in a dike , nearly covered l ll } i _^ H _^ , M " . , _briars ,. wlicre : he was ; fouiid , iu less _tlianfa ' _ii'JioiVr aftcrivjards _, .. by .

      The IxquEST _.-r _^ -Thc inquest on the body of . thc ' u ' ri fortunatc-Hannah Hubbard , ' was held on Tuesday before Mr . John Gregory , coroner , at the _Bowlihg " - grcen Inn , Oxford-street ; A very respectable jury was sworn , " and they immediately proceeded to view the body ; it was not without some difficulty , howevciv that theyreached the house where it lay , ' in ' consequence of the Vast ' numbcr of people who had assembled , and amongst whom ; it is perhaps needless to state , one universal ' "fueling of execration exists .- The female-portion of-the crowd more especially appear tohave become endued with an extraordinary spirit-of revenge against the murderer . Their indignation at the bare ' supposition of the murderer ' s ' escaping on the plea of in .

      sanity is almost without bounds . It was truly a fearful sight where tho shockin ? deed was consummated . In the kitchen-and on - a chair were pools of blood , not dry even yet . The body of the hapless woman was laid upon the bed upstairs . Her throat showed a gash about three inches and a half long and two or three inches deep ; so deep , in fact , as to lay the vertebraj of the neck quite bare . The windpipe was very nearly cut through , as were several important arteries . Her hair hung dishevelled down her shoulders , and blood was scattered in horrid . profusion over her hands , neck , and bosom , and upon the clothes she wore . On the return of the jury to the Bowling-green , Jane Mitchell was called , who deposed as follows

      —I am a single woman , and live next door butonc ' to the deceased ' s brother-in-law , John Hubbard . I Knew the deceased . Her husband , William Hubbard , is a framework knitter . Deceased lived at John Hubbard ' s , and had one child living witli her . Her husband came out ofthe Infirmary last Tuesday , and I think had not since lived with his wife . About six o ' clock on Monday morning Iheard screams of '' Murder , " and cries of " Help , " which appeared to proceed from Hubbard ' s house . I opened my window , and looking out , saw John Hubbard in the yard holding deceased , whilst ) blood was flowing from a wound in her throat . He had one hand against her chin , and the other on . her forehead . John Hubbard ' s wife said , " For God ' s sake Jane , comedown : Bill ' s

      murdered Hannah . " She was in the yard in her ni ght clothes , and John Hubbard too was not dressed . 1 could not go down , I was so ill with the sight of blood ; and in about a quarter of an hour I heard that deceased was dead .: 1 saw William Hubbard about eight o ' clock on Sunday night last at the yard door , talking to his brother John . Deceased was tohave gone by the two o ' clock train on Monday to her mother ' s at Birmingham . John Hubbard ' s wife told me , that deceased thought she could maintain herself better there than at Leicester , as she could go out to service while .. her-mother took care of her child . I was awake for some time previous to hearing the screams , but heard no noise or _quarrellingl'cfore : had there been any , I think 1 should have

      heard it . Some of the furniture was sold one day last week , and taken away either on Thursday or Friday evening . Deceased was a very quiet , hardworking woman . She was 21 years of age , and made button-holes for flanuel shirts . She worked for Mr . Angrave _, hosier , in Silver-street . By a Juror . —She never assigned any reason to mc for living apart from her husband . Elizabeth Bates called . —I reside next door to John Hubbard . I was awoke by cries of " Murder" about six o ' clock on Monday morning , nnd on opening thc window saw John Hubbard supporting the deceased in the yard . Her hair hung over her face , and she was bleeding very much from the throat . John said , " Bill , whatever have you been doing ? " He then

      looked up , and seeing me , said , "For God ' s sake come and assist us . " 1 asked where Bill was , and John ' s wife replied that he was gone . I did not see William Hubbard that morning . I did not go down stairs , I was so much afraid . I saw William Hubbard in Bonner ' s-lane on Saturday , and on Friday at noon in the house ; John Hubbard and his wife were in their night clothes , and the deceased was only partly dressed . . Ann Chesterton was next called . —I am a neighbour of John Hubbard ' s , and heard the first cry of "Murder" a few minutes before the six o'clock hell rang . The noise came as if from Hubbard ' s house . I looked out of the window and saw John Hubbard holding the deceased . I at first , thought it was William , and called out " You rascal , what arc you

      doing ? Are you throttling that poor woman i § i _> o answer was made , but John Hubbard ' s wife continued to cry out " Murder . " I then went down stairs to the door leading to John Hubbard ' s yard , when I saw the prisoner , William Hubbard , come from John Hubbard ' s kitchen , and turndown the entry to the left , towards the lane . He walked at a sharp pace . It was John Hubbard who was holding the deceased . Iwent into the street , and called Mr . Orange , who was passing at the time , to assist . He lifted deceased into the kitchen , and placed her in a chair , where she expired in about eleven minutes . Deceased had a very "heavy" wound in the throat , and was _bleeding very profusely . ¦ .

On Thursday night William Hubbard took the bed and bedding and three chairs to his mother ' s . The rest was sold , and the money divided .

A bout six o ' clock Hubbard came in again , and whilst he was in the house ,. his wife came home and put the child to bed . She then went out with the young woman she had been drinking tea with . About ninc . o ' cloek the deceased came home , and remained in conversation with the prisoner in the entry for about three-quarters of an hour . Heappoared to be in his usual state , and bade us all good night . A little before six o ' clock oh Monday morning I heard deceased go down stairs . She . unbolted the kitchen door immediately , and I heard : William Hubbard say something , to ' . her , " but could not say what it was . Deceased lighted the five , and cleaned the kitchen up , and I heard ' them . talking together during the time it occupied , but not in an angry tone . Their child cried , ' and William Hubbard came up to the top of the stairs . I then heard him say , "She has dropped oft ' _-to sleep" ( meaning -the child ) , and he

      went down again . He had not been down move than three minutes before I heard a most dreadful noise , resembling a groan . I awoke my husband , and said , "John , whatever is the row ?

My husband ran up to her and carried her but into the yard . _AVill ' mm Hubbard' was standing at the back of her in the cornet ' , and had something in . his hand , but what it was I cannot say . I did not see whether it was bloody . I said to him , " Oh , Bill , what have you done 1 " He said , " I intended to do it , if I got hung for it .

      LAMRKTAnLE OcouRitEXCE . —Wo regret to state that , i most _lamenfaUcoccuiTciicc took place between six and seven o ' clock on Sunday night , by which / two young men , who are brothers , lost their lives hi ; thc , Clyde . The names of the deceased are George and Robert Lynn—the former _^ about twenty-four years of age , who a fortnight since ' entered'into , employment at the _Banwynelil Works as" a' _bleacher and thc latter about sixteen or seventeen years of agej who , _M'o have been informed , was employed as a tailor in Paisley .. The young men had meton Sunday , and , unfortunately , had celebrated the meeting by drinking freely . In the course of the evening , they proceeded to the Green , on their way , it is believed , to Ruthcrglen , when they were then so much

      intoxicated as to attract the notice of the officer on thc _Greeiij who requested them to pass on . They did so ; but it was observed that a quarrel took place between them as'they wctitaloiig , which was believed to be more in the way of "daffing , " than of real ill-nature . . At all events , the younger brother , Robert , ' either fell or was thrown down , and while the other was refreshing himself at the well , between thc Upper Springboard and Allen ' s Pen on the Green , thc former rushed past him , saying , " Farewell Geot'die , " and pluneed into the river . The elder brother being apparently brought to his senses by the frightful leap of the younger , sprung in ' after him , and the two were seen struggling for a time in thc water hy two young women and others , who were attracted to the bankbuthad nomeansof leudingthetn

      assistance . Robert , however , disengaged himself , and succeeded in reaching the bank of the Green , where he lay for a minute or so with his body partly in and partly out ofthe water . On turning round , he saw his brother ' s hands uplifted above the stream , imploring help , when he in turn rushed into him , and both sunk , completing this dire tragedy—the one brother perishing in his turn , as it were , to save the life of the other . Mr . Gcddes , of the Humane Society ' s house , was promptly on the spot , and after a search of half an hour in the one instance , and a full hour in the other , succeeded in recovering both bodies , which , after the usual attempts at re-animation had been made in vain , were conveyed to their friends . The youths , wo believe , arc natives of Denny , where their father fills a respectable situation .

      Steam-boat Accident . —We regret exceedingly to state that a most serious accident , attended with fatal results , occurred on the Thames on Tuesday evening . It appears that the steamer Father Thames , on her voyage from _ Gravesend , made the Pool about ten o ' clock , with a great number of passengers , where , from some unavoidable cause , she came full on to a heavy barge , and witli such force as to instantly carry away her paddle-box and side cabin , in which were several persons . It may bc readity imagined that consternation and confusion arose immediately , the vessel being thrown on one side , and several persons in the water . Six persons were rescued from a watery grave , but whether any or several arc lost wc have vet to _lnarn . Fmm _tl _™

      disabled state of the vessel the passengers had tobe landed at Wapping from small boats . —( From another Correspomlent . ) --The Father Thames was so much crippled by the collision , that she could not proceed to her destination , Hungerford Market ; and she was brought ui > off Wapping for the night . Wednesday _moi'ttiugthc steamer was towed down to _Blackwall for repairs . The wreck of her paddle-box , the deck cabin , and a quantity of gear were picked m by Inspector Webb . The barge sustained very little , if any __ damage . It appeared to be deeply laden to within two or three inches of the water ' s edge . It was reported on the river that the bargemen were drowned , and that in the confusion three or four persons fell overboard from the steamer and were drowned ; but Mr .

      found that no one had gone overboard besides the six personsin the deck cabin , who are all doing well . m > HE , Suspicious Death in _Wiiitechapel : —On Thursday afternoon Mr .

He was carried to ' the Swan Hotel ,

      AunMiso Fire _i . v _OxPono-sruEET . — On Wednesday night , between the hours of eleven and twelve , a' fire of rather an alarming character broke out upon the premises belonging to Mr . James Nunn , hosier and silk mercer , situate at No . 217 , Oxfordstreet , near Portman-strect . It originated in the front shop , a spacious compartment filled with costly articles , and owing to the combustible nature of the stock the flames very speedily had obtained a firm hold , they having , in less than five minutes , communicated to each side of the shop and the two windows , and they were ascending with great vapidity up the staircase and through the fanlight . The firemen , however , were enabled to arrest the further progress of the flames just ss they were entering the showrooms on the first floor . Before , however , the five was entirely extinguished , the principal portion ofthe costly stock in the shop was destroyed and the building severely damaged . The loss , at the lowest _calcul ation , must amount to several hundred pounds .

      Ihe Brazilian Pirates . —It was expected that these unhappy men would have been executed this day ( Friday ) in i ' ront of the county gao ) , and steps had already been taken by the proper authorities . On Monday morning , however , acommunication from the learned judge who tried thc prisoners was received by the high sheriff , respiting thc execution of thc sentence until Friday , the Sth September . This delay has been granted in order that the important legal questions which were raised by the learned counsel for the prisoners / on the occasion ofthe trial , may __ undergo further consideration by the whole of the judges . Yesterday a communication was received from the authorities , announcing a further respite of the sentence until the 25 th of November , which will be tho last day of Michaelmas Term , during which the case will be considered . When the tidings of

      their respite werecommunicated to thc prisoners , they all received it with gratitude and delight , except the imperturbable Serva . This man ( the captain of * the Echo , a schooner of seventy tons only , with 434 slaves stowed and packed in it ) has stood alike unmoved by the terrors of this world and the world to come . For three days , though smitten with a foul and loathsome disease , he underwent the ordeal of the trial without manifesting thc slightest sigh of uneasiness _, lie received thc doom of death without emotion , and lie has since rejected the consolations of religion and the holy offices of the priest with a cold and bitter sneer . He received unmoved the merciful declaration of the high sheriff ; and turned away with ' as much apathy as if the message of prolonged life and rekindling hope had been the most ordinary matter which a heedless man could impart to an indifferent one . —Exeter Gazelle , August 9 .

On his leaving the chapel , and where the sacrament was administered to him , on receiving which he appeared to lose , for an instant only , tliat firmness which he seems to have maintained throughout to an unusual degree , he was again taken to his cell , where he requested to be allowed to change his coat ( a blue frock which he wore on his trial ) , and asked for a black one , which was given him , and he put it on . He was then pinioned , and immediately after conducted from thc cell to the scaffold . He eotered on the drop in a firm manner , and for the

      next few minutes appeared to be _earnestly engaged m prayer . The cap was then pulled over his face , the executioner retired , and the drop fell . He for nearly five minutes showed no signs of life , but at the end of that time he struggled much , and lived after the drop fell nearly eight minutes . Ellison made no confession , nor did he address a single word to the multitude . The firmness and indiffereneo to his awful situation continued until Wednesday last , up to which time he had buoyed himself up with a hope of a reprieve , neither acknowledging nor denying his guilt . He was a tall man , six feethigh , a native ot a parish near Leeds , in the West Hiding of Yorkshire .
