BB . BADFUX . ACCIDENT AT EOTHERHAM ^ FIFTY LIVES LOST ! [ The particulars given below respecting t \ U most deplorable event , teere collected on the spot by our otcn Reporter , tcho attended from Leeds for the purpose ^ We hare tbu week to record one of the most melancholy events which , for a long seriei of jears , has come under our notice . Monday last wm fixed xpon m the day for the launching a resvel which bad been built in the yard of Mr . Cbaaben , at Mas-¥ ro ' , for Mr . Henry Cadman , of Sheffield , and the occasion tu aade oae of more than ordinary rejoicing ; ala *! that so sodden , so fearful , so totally untxpeetel , bo fatal a termination tkould kare tsued I _
The reascl , about one hsndred tons burthen , was built , at we hare ttated , in the yard of Mr . Chswbers , adjoining the canal side , and near the junction of the men Bother and Don , on the Masbro' Bide of the r iver . The canal i « only about fire yards wide , and the vesasl was launched sideways . The launch was fixed to take place at three o ' clock , and previous to this tine , and as is usually the custom , a number of persons assembled on board to ride « ff tke stocks into the water * and we believe it is ale * necessary that they should be on board , in order to weight and give motion to the vessel . On this occasion , upwards of a hundred had congregated on board , consisting of men and boys , the
latter generally from about eight to sixteen or seventeen yean of age . All being ready , preparations were made for the launch , and those on the -vessel were in high glee at the -expected treat . Sut how fearfnl the result—how futile their expectationshow anthought-of the destiny which awaited them ! The wbotb party were gay and light-hearted ; pleasure beamed on every brow ! The fastenings were let loose , but from some cause or ether , instead of the boat Bliding gently down into the water , she suddenly ape « t , amid the screams of the-unfortunate beings oa board . In a moment the whole body of people on the deck were precipitated into the water , many of them falling beneath the v- ssel .
The consternation and alarm , which at once took possession of the speetator ? , may be conceived—to describe it is impossible . For a moment , every one teemed panic-struck ; all were powerless , paralysed , and stationary . The lull was but the presage of a storm of wail and woe—of consternation and dismay . The scene , from one of gladness , was suddenly converted to one of lamentation . Women were running in ererr direction , uttering wild-cries for their husbands , who they h * A reason to suppose Were on board ; brothers and sisters were anxiously
inquiring after the relatioM they had missed , but for a moment ; and parents ware running about distracted after their missing children . The terror and grief of the parents of those known to be on board ( for they were chiefly bojs ) can more easily be imagined than described . Here and there might be seen almost heart-broken relatives eagerly looking for their lost ones , and occasionally a countenance keaaing with joy , when they had succeeded in finding their children , whom they anticipated were among the sufferers .
The first alarm , however , soon subsided , and to the panic succeeded the most energetic measures in aid of the sufferers . Each side of the Canal was crowded with hundreds of persons anxious to render evary assistance in their power . Mr . Chambers , the builder of the boat , was among the most conspicuous in directing the exertions of the vast multitude who were trying to right the boat . As soon as it was possible , anchors and other implements were fastened to her side , in four or five different parts , and several horses , and some hundreds ef men began to pull at the ropes , which had the effect of raising the boat a little mor& than a foot ; but th « fastenings being only attached to the thin wood-work which runs along the edge of the vessel , they all gave way . In consequence of the movement © f the vessel , however , seven or eight of the sufferers were dragged to-the surface .
Scores of persons now rushed to the water s-edge , anxious to catch a glimpse of the sufferers as they were removed . Surgical aid , and the most efficient means , were at once applied to endeavour to restore animation , and to the medical gentlemen of Rotherhtm great praise is certainly due . Effort after effort was then made to right the vesseL Each time , as she was partially lifted up , the bodies of the unfortunate sufferers kept floating from beneath ; and when it wa 3 set right , eight or ten bodies were take * out ia the space of as many aiinates . Every moment the extent of the calamity became more awful , and as each corpse was taken to the tenement which the liv ' mg body had so lately inhabited , another tale of heart-rending distress was addded to those which had preceded it .
Every movement , and every unsuccessful attempt to turn the vessel to her right position , only served to heighten the agonising feelings of those who had missing friends ; and it was not until about five o ' clock that the men oa the top of the boat succeeded in gaining a firmer hold on a strong portion of the woodwork , and by great perseverance and bard labour they at last effected their object , and the boat was righted . The most awful sight of all was then presented ; body after body was drawn to the suriaoe , and conveyed either to their homes or to some ther place until they were owned by their friends . Great praise is due to an individual , whose name we ould not learn , for his intrepid conduct in assisting to Bare others , after he h&i extricated himself from a waiery grave .
It was not , however , xmtil the day after the | aceident had occurred , that all the bodies were reeo- j rered . Some of them were shockiugly bruised , by j being thrust down to the bottom of the canal by | the vessel j and one , we were informed , a little boy , bad his head nearly severed from his body . - j On Tuesday afternoon , fifty bodies having been j . then recovered , and there being no outcry of mere •; being missing , Mr . Thos . Badger , the Coroner , sum- j ] moned a jury to inquire into the _ circumstances of ' the awful bereavement . The evidence was short , but to the point . The rumours of carelessness and ] Biisconduct on behalf of Mr . Chambers ' s servant ' s , were completely falsified , and the whole affair was ' ,
shown to be purely accidental—arising from the ' -. circumstance of a great portion of the persom on ' board having crowded to the side of the vessel 1 nearest to the water , in order that they might see her " dip / ' it having been said that when ¦ she entered the water , the bottom of ihe canal would : \> t visible , occasioned by the sudden plunge of so large a body . It was distinctly proved that every precaution which prudence could suggest had been taken to prevent the possibility of accident . It was the opinion of the most experienced persons , that had ; those on board not run to the side so as to make her ! "heel , " no accident would have occurred , and all ; would have passed safely and joyously off . The Jury gave a verdict of "Accidental Death" in each
ease . It is due to Mr . Chambers to state , that his con- ; duct on the melancholy occasion , and his attention ' to the sufferers by the accident , were highly praise- ; worthy . It is impossible for any one to have evinced [ more regret , or a greater desire to do all that was possible for the recovery of the bodies . ; Among the suff ^ rera is the only son of Mr . Yates , ' iron-founder , a- fine little fellow , eleven years of age ; his parents are nearly distracted at the melancholy : bereavement . The names and ages of the dead will ; be found below , amounting to fifty in number . One
young man named John Greatorex , of rumival- j street , Sheffield , was of age oa Monday , and would ] shortly havr come into the receipt of considerable i property ; hiB relatives and friends are in the greatest j distress ; the occurrence appears to have cast a j gloom over the whole of the inhabitants of Rother- j Sam , and in every street are signs of mourning and j affliction . In fact , to give an accurate description of it would be impossible ; to depict the misery and ! sorrow it has brought on scores of human beings , would be out of oht power ; and our readers must t imagine for themselves that which we are unable to
onvey . The General Quarter Sessions of the Peace were opened at Rotheiham on Monday morning , and intelligence of ihe melancholy event was conveyed to the Court House immediately after it had occurred . The court was almost instantaneousl y clearedmagistrates , barristers , attorneys , jurymen , witnesses , gaolers , and every person except the prisoners , hastening to the afflicting seem .-. The Court was *> on after adjourned for the day . When the news reached Sheffield , hundreds of persons were instantly at the railway station , anxious to satisfy themselves , by a Tisit u > the place , thai
none » f their relatives were amongst the victims , as rumour had announced the number of sufferers at npwsrds of one hundred . The contiguity of Sheffield and Rotherham , also , ( six miles , ) and the quick transit by railway , cause the two towns to be bo nearly allied , that the excitement in one was quite paralleled by that in the other . During Tuesday and Wednesday , hundreds of persons visited the canal side , scarcely seeming to credit the extent of the direful calamity ; the Fatal boat was rigidly scrutinised , and various were the opinions expressed by parties who considered that bad they been there tho accident would not have happened . . . . ....
Ou Wednesday afternoon , the greater part of those whose livefl bad been thus prematurely cut off , were isterred in Botherham Charch-yanL Thirty-five gwes were dag ; and it was indeed a Bad sight to witness . The Church and Church-yard were crowded to excess , and a muffled bell tolling at minute-time during the ceremony , tended to add to the solemnity of the scene . The service occupied several hours . Others of the bodies were interred in Masbro' Chapel Yard , and ' three , Jobs Smith , and his two sons , Charles and ; Henry , were removid for interment a ; Greabrougb . ! On Thursday morning , the remainder of the bodies -were buried at Rotherham . It will be seen from the list of names of the suflexers which wa give below , that most of them are rising into manhood . Also that four families haw lost two children eash ; that one- poor woman has lost her husband and two ciildren ; and n » y * hA > her bvband and one Cher only ) child .

Daniel Hearne , Catholic priest , to which he , for reasons be * t known to himself , has not condescended to answer . 84 , Lom&s-street , Bank Top , Manchester . SiB ., —Pursuant to a resolution , passed by a committee composed of working men , assembled in Brownstreet , June 8 th , 1841 , I am authorised to communicate with you , requesting most respectfully your opinion relative to the late lamentable disturbances which have taken place in this town , and more particularly the stopping of a public meeting , at the Carpenter ' s Hall , on Saturdays June 5 th , and likewise one in Tib-street , June 6 th . Tbe Committee have taken this step , in order to give yon a chance of clearing yourself of a charge wtiich nas been made against you , via . that such proceedings mtt with your sanction and approbation . We believe * uch charge to be fa ' ss ; judging from your
standing in society , we feel convinced that you would no ^ stake and endanger your reputation by encouraging such disgraceful work . We are sorry , too , that some malicious persons , no donbt for the worst of purposes , circulated a report amongst our sist « r countrymen , that it was the intention of the people , whe » assembled at the Carpenter ' s Hall , to bum the effigies of yourself and lir . O'ConnelL We , therefore , take the liberty of assuring you , that such a thing was never contemplated , or even mentioned , by the parties who convened the meeting-, believing , as we do , that such conduct is beneath men who am seeking their political rights ; unbecoming rational men , and not calculated to promote the interest of any g * od cause . An answer to the above will oblige the committee , on whose behalf I am , Sir , Yoni humble Servant , WM . GEI ¥ JI 5 .

DR . M'DOUALL AND THE CONVENTION FUND . The following letter from Dr . M'Douall was received in accordance with its date , and has been mislaid : — June 9 th , 1841 . Bear Sir , —In the balance sheet given by Mr . Smart and myself in the last Star , there were two errors . First , " remitted to M'Douall £ l , " shou'd have been one shilling .
That shilling was inquired after by a correspondent in tha previous Star , and he will now perceive that it has been received , and accounted for . It was the secretary ' s business to answer all aach , Utters , not mint . Secondly , " One country delegate , part of one week ' s wage , £ 2 6 s . " ought to have been only £ 2 5 s . I bave paid the door-keeper and Mr . Ridley in full , and 2 s . to Cleave , subscribed far Mrs . Frost , by Messrs-Booker , Martin , and Bartlett . Mr . Cleave has since received is . from a tailor ' s shop , Wefct Register-street , Edinburgh , which , with the last balance , will make
£ 2 Is . 7 d . in all in our hands . Deduet Ford and Ridley ' s dividend of 17 s . 6 d-, and the real balance is £ 1 4 s . Id . Ten shillings have been voted to as from Aberdeen . I propose , therefore , to hand that sum to Wall and Rose , leaving Smart , Skevington , Martin , Morgan , and myself , to be paid from the Star office , and from the balance in hand . £ 2 19 a . 5 d ., I perceive , U subscribed in the Star of June 5 th ; that , with the balance , will make us really worth £ 4 3 s . 6 d . ; therefore Smart , Skevington , and Martin , had bettor apply for one pound each , at the Star office , which , if paid , will leave the Star minus 7 d .
I will advance Morgan his 15 s . when I reach Bristol , on Monday first , and the country will then owe me lls . 6 d . and owe the Star effice 7 d . Tbns , the estimated balance now in hand , and at the . Star effice , amounts to £ 4 3 s . 6 d . Smart , Sievington , Martin , and McDouall , are due £ l each , Morgan , of Bristol , 15 s . making a total of £ 4 15 s .

Hoping that this statement may prove satisfactory to the country , and that you will give it publicity , I remain , Dear Sir , Yours in the Sacred Cause . P . M . M'DOUALL , The Rev . Wm .

SECOND DAY'S POLL . Northern Star Office , 10 o'Clock , Friday Night . There can be no doubt now but that the two Tories are returned by large majorities . The returns , as put forth by the blue committee , at Wakefield , up to 8 o ' olock , shew a Majority for Wortley ~ . ~ ~ 1097 . Majority for Denison . ~~ » 7 . 24 .
We believe that this result has surprised even the Tories themselves ; while the Whigs are , as may be believed , completely chop-fallen ; they have put forth no returns to-day ; but to night a bulletin has been > osted on the Mercury office window to the effect , that it is expected the returns will considerably reduca the large majority of the " Tauries ! " " How are the might y fallen " ! Poor Lord Morpetk- ! He came forward aB a " Minister of the Crown" to forward the " appeal of the Queen" to keep "her" Ministers in office ; and
the Electors have rejected both him and the appeal ! Poor , poor , Morpeth ! Away goes £ 5 , 000 a-year ! Ever since the year 1807 the " Fitzwilliam interest" has been paramount in the West Riding . All attempts ( before the present one ) to beat it , have signally failed 1 And yet now , when even the " heir of the House" offers himself in person , backed by a tremendously long and heavy purse ; and backed too by the influence of the Queen's name , and having one of " her" Ministers as a colleague , both are most unceremoniously pushed off their stools , and prostrated to the earth !
Howisthie ? We can tell ! Suffice it , however , for the present to say , that if the Whigs hope ever to have a Whig returned for the West-Riding again , they most be prepared to " split" and vote for another , afar different man from a hrd ' saonl ! "A word to the wise is sufficient . " Chartist Freeholders ! you now know your strength ! Husband it ! See to the Registry ! Get all your names on the list ! Keep united ! and your man goes next time !

BtXNDERLAND . —On Sunday afternoon , Mr . Binns delivered an excellent address to a large audience at the Life Boat House . 8 HEPI . ET , NEAR HUDDBRSFIELD . —DEFEAT OF thb " League . "—A meeting of the Huddersfield Itinerant Anti-Corn Law League was held at Shepley , a few days ago , at which several speeches of a " Plague'Mike k ' . ud were delivered by various speakers , but they all smelled so strong of the shop , that though the ! meeting had been carefully packed , expressions of dissent manifested themselves to the utter discomfiture of the leaders of the party , who ventured upon a challenge to their opponents to come forward . One of the opposing party , with whose name we are not furnished , then rose and clearly proved that the Repeal of the Corn Laws And Free Trade , under existing circumstances , would do more harm than good ;
that the ruinous State of Agriculture under a Repeal of the Corn Laws , and the ruined qt&te of the silk and other trades , under a system of Free Trade , together with the improvements in machinery , which are every day brought into operation , would more than counterbalance any good which might be attendant upon such circumstances , even in the manufacturing districts ; and that it was folly to expect to trade and compete with other nations under the pressure of the present national burden . In reply , one of the " Plague" uttered a few of the grossest absurdities ( possible , after which , his friends aroge , and put on their hats as the last words came from his lips . The people cried out for an opportunity to reply , but in vain . They found they were beat , and in answer to a question ono of them said , that it was a private meeting , and that they would not be examined by us . So much for the dirty Whigs and their scheme to entrap the people .
STOCKPORT . —Since the election at this place , the " cock-tailed gingers" have been busy circulating reports in reference to Mr . Bairstow and Mr . O Connor , much to the disparagement of the character of the former ; and , ia order to arrive at the truth , one of the Manchester Executive wrote to Mr . O'Connor on the subject . In reply to his letter , he has received the following , which he has handed to us for publication : — York Castle , 5 : h , 15 th month . Sib , —I have just received your letter , and to it I give the following answer : —I got a letter from a person of the name of Burton , in which he stated tbat it was reported by Bairstow and Mitchell , and believed , that I was the treasurer of some Tory
fund , from which I supplied Bairstow , in an attempt to aid the Tory candidate for Stockport . I had some suspicion as to the motive of the writer , of whom I knew nothing ; and I replied as nearly as possible in the following words : — " Sir , if your motive is a good one , you will read my answer , and give publicity to it . 1 never saw Mr . Bairstow more than once , and then for not more than five minutes . I never spoke ten words to him ; I never wrote a line to him ; I never sent a message to him ; I never sent him or auy one else money to assist at any election . Indeed , I should not know him if I met him iu the street ; and as for Mitchell , I was uot aware that such a man was in existence . " Burton stated that he had
heard that I corresponded with these parties , and directed all their movements . I have quite enough to do and to think of , without being dragged into suoh a foolish correspondence ; but while my hand is in , I must say that I am much more inclined to suspect those who complain of Bairetow , than I am to suspect Bairstow ; and what , after all , is he charged with ! Only with ujne nonsenae , that answers itself : with being paiato do the Tories' work ! and . singular enough , we find him ¦ topping short of the only service which he could , if inclined , hare rendered them , from a want of ten pounds to pay for the hustings . !! But give me leave to ask who has charged the real offenders with these delinquencies ? Who hai attacked those who favoured the
bloody Cobden ! that ' s the question . I suppose it is a high offence to take satisfaction for that ruffian ' s cruelty and cowardice ! and no offence at all to back him ! , Now , once for all , hear me . If I had the casting vote between Cobden and the Devil , I would vote for the Devil ; and I rejoice that Bairstow has earned some Whig unpopularity for opposing a worse imp than the Devil . Pray let me hear no more of this disgusting stuff . When Bairstow or any other man behaves wrong , tho people will soon tell him so . He has really done good service to the cause , and in proportion is he sure to be maligned . You will have the goodness to give all the publicity requisite for Bairstow ' s justification , if any is required . Your truly , BARGus O'Connor .

TO THE CHARriSTS OF OLDHAM . York Castle , 8 th Day , 15 th Month . Mt dear Friends , —I received your letter inviting me to dine with you during your Wakes , in the month of August next I th&nk you with all my heart for your kindness ; but I fear that one short playful sentence of mine , in a business letter to Mr . Hey wood , of Manchester , has led to the erroneous supposition that my time of incarceration is likely to terminate before the period fixed by the Court of Queen ' s Bench . Since my incarceration , Mr . Heywood ' s usefulness and attention to me has been unbounded ; indeed , I never thought that any man could have ao cheerfully devoted himself , ( frequently at great inconvenience ) to my service . Some two weeks ago I had occasion to write to Mr . Hey wood upon business ; and , mindfull of his services , I again thanked him , and playfully said " I hoped shortlj , I should have the pleasure of acknowledging those services in person . "
I subsequently had a letter from Mr . Campbell , ef the Executive , as to my grounds for such expectation , and I told him I bad none whatever of being among you till November . The playful expression above alluded to was grounded upon an article which has gone the round of the whole Whig presss , to the effect that " her Majesty ' s Ministers bad at length come to the wise conclusion ef recommending her Majesty to release all persons imprisoned for political offences . " This coming from the Government organs , and
knowing that her Majesty ' s Ministers , and not her Majesty , were the parties to decide , induced me to believe that it might be so ; but nope I had none . I understand that the sentence , in my letter to Mr . Heywood , to which I refer , has given to my fustian associates the impression that we shall meet before November , and also that it has been widely circulated ; and in consequence I have been inundated with irritations , all of which 1 will cheerfully accept when the time arrives ; which , believe me , will not be tQl the 11 th Nobember , and subsequent days .
You know me longer than the people of any other town in England ; and you know ; that I have declared my determination , not to walk out of York Castle one day before the 11 th November , if I am to owe my liberation to a Tory Government ; and you know that when I promise anything I always perform tbat promise . Therefore , believe me , that I shall be crucified between the two thieves . The Whigs won't let me out , the Tories shan't let me out : but whan I do get out , I will give an impetus to the cause which I love , and which they both hate with a most venomous hatted . I shall endeavour , as far as work , zeal , energy , and perseverance can make up for lost time , by an increase of all to do so . I am , Ml dear , my old , and faithful friends , Your attached and faithful servant , Fearods O'Connor .

TO THE UNREPRESENTED , AND THE ELECTORS OF THE WEST-RIDING OF THE COUNTY OF YORK . Gentlemen , —Feeling as I do the high honour conferred by selecting me as a candidate for the representation of this immense Riding in Parliament , I trust you will indulge me a few moments while I state some of the reasons why the nomination went off at Wakefield as it did on Monday last . No one dare deny that among the labouring classes ia this Riding there is a vast preponderance in favour of Chartism ; but popular display maybe made at too great a sacrifice ; and , therefore , possessing , as I did , a full knowledge that a large portion of the FiUwilliam-Milton-West-Riding-Money waa in active operation to hire and coerce , through the
influence of the millocrats and manufacturers , their workmen , and to compel them to go , en masse , to save a falling faction from extermination ; knowing , as I did , that a regularly organised plan was in existence to that end , and that having reduced the working class by the most cold , mercenary , and traitorous system of legislation , to a worse condition than the serfs of Russia , they had resol > ed to place upon them the badge of Bastiles , and drag them , slave-like , to show their hands for their most cruel tyrants ; knowing that with their own subscriptions , conjointly with the stakes of that burlesque upon nobility , Milton , they had concocted a plan unequalled in extent and atrocity by any other in modem times ; knowing that the liberal " Anti-Mouopolists" (
resolved to monopolize alllegislatioa !) had ordered their workmen to appear on their appointed parade at their appointed hour , there to hare the roll called over and to be marshalled by tens , twenties , and hundreds , and placed under their masters or overlooker's command , by companies and by sections , so arranged that every man must follow their fugleman , and be carried , fed , and ordered in military fashion , —and thai vko poor fellows had no eocapo but by discharge and consequent starvation , or the bastile ; while thousands aad tens of thousands of those whom they had no power to coerce , were entirely destitute of the necessary means to enable them to go to Wakefield , a distance , to many , of from ten to thirty miles—an impossible
t ask to those with empty pockets and empty stomachs ; knowing vliat the drones had kept the bees at hard l abour for various periods , and after robbing them of the honey , they were applying the proceeds to their degradation by saving that faction from annihilation whose underlines boasted that they would , by their plan , take no lesa than 10 , 000 men from Huddersfield , and make them carry their colours too , —a pretty pass this for the advocates of retrenchment and reform to have brought themselves and the people to!—knowing that yellow cards and commands were delivered at the same instaut by the lowest and meanest employers to their workmen ; that some
had as much for the day as they could earn in a week ; that free traders and cheap corn merchants were threatening blue manufacturers with " exclusive dealing , " unless they voted yellow , while the blues were busy purchasing goods in the market iu order to obtain converts;—knowing all this;—knowing that such effort * and influences were at work , and seeing all those base and barefaced innueRces in full operation , I advised many kind friends to remain at home , and avoid the toil and the tyrants' vengeance , who would cast them upon the world with no protection but that of the Rural Police , or the comtorts of a modern Bastile .
My Friends , this explanation will , perhaps , enable you to judge why there were not ten to one of our friends over thoseofany other ; the proportion in which they stand in this Riding . 1 now feel it my duty to beg that you will be so kind as to pardon in mo any sentiment spoken , or action done , which may have in auy way or manner given to any one the smallest offence ; and while I assure you , one and all , that my errors are alone attributable to the head , and not to the heartthat my only object is the emancipation of the unenfranchised by the destruction of every species of monopoly ; the abolition of every Sinecure , Place , and Pension ; the dismissal of the Army and of " Lord Finality ' s" Assassins , called ' The Rural
Police ; " by compelling the Aristocracy , lay and clerical , to disgorge the Church Lands , and the same order to place the Crown Lands at the disposal of the State , for national purposes ; and the so called National Debt , to be entirely taken from the shoulders Of those who , neither by themselves nor their ancestors , had a voice in contracting it , and left to be disposed of by those who contracted and increased , and who pledged their lives and properties in support of the French , American , and other wars , for the purpose of destroying liberty at home and abroad . I would permit no faction to stand in the way of justice to the masses , and would use them all for the public
good . My aim is the regeneration of my country and the happiness of the whole people ; and to that end the first essential step is Universal Suffrage ; the second the proper distribution of wealth . Gentlemen , pray accept my best thanks for your conduct on the day of nomination , and for your ardour and forbearance on all occasions . lor your kindness to me personally . I am truly grateful . While you stand by yotir own order and your own interests , be assured you Bhall always have in me * humble but sincere supporter , I implore you to go vigorously in your onward course , for upon yourselves alone depends your happiness or misery ; depend upon any other , aad you lean oa a broken reed .
I thank tho Central Committee for their great exertions and wise arrangements , and assuring them and my kind and numerous friends that I am at ail times ready to be used as an instrument in their hands for the public , I remain , My kind friends , Most sincerely and devotedly , Your obedient servant , L . PlTKETHLY . Huddersfield , 7 th July , 1841 .
