Frightful Occurrence on the rivebt Medwat , near Chatham . —Seven Liyts Lost . —On Monday forenoon last an occurrence of a most painful and 1 distressing character took place on the river Medway , between Chatham and Sheerness , occasioned Iby a man-of-war ' s gig "; oapsizltig ,- by which , we I regret to say , seven persons belonging to her ' Majesty ' s surveying steamer Shearwater met with j a watery grave . On inquiring into the ciroumstances [ it appears that soon after eight o ' clock en Monday morning Lieutenant Cudlip of the steamer above ! mentioned , in company with Mr . T . Corral , the surgeon , left Sheernesa in the captain's gig for tho purpose of proceeding to Ch&tham Dockyard for a
supply of provisions and stores , and also to witness the launches of the Goliath eighty gun ship , and the Yirago steamer . Six of the Shearwater ' s crew went wiih them , and it soema on their clearing Stangate j Creek , about three miles below Sbeeraess , a sail was I ho \ 3 ted , and all -way made on the boat so as to reach j Chatham early . All went on favourably until they 1 arrived at the point in Jolly , or Pincup Reach ( near j Gillingham , about eight miles from Chatham ) , when I a sudden squall caught the mainsail of the lugsail ! just as tho boat was rounding the point , and before ' there was time to bring her to , the sail fouled round i the halyards and masr and instantly capsized , pre' ¦ cipitating the whole of its crew into the river . The ! sceno that ensued is described to have been one of a
I most agonising description . There is no doubt many of the unfortunate creatures , who were swimmers , could have saved themselves , but the whole of them ! Lieutenant Cudlip exeeptod , got entangled , in their 1 efforts to escape , with the sails and ropes , consei quently they perished by being drawn down with I the boat—she having ac the tima several hundred weight of ballast in her . Lieutenant Cudlip was j sitting along with Mr . Carrol in the stern part , ef the ! boat steering , and at the moment of her overturning he ; contrived to throw himself out btyond reach of the i sail , and thug escaped being drawn down by the rest of his companions . Fortunately he caught hold ot the backboard of the boat , whioh by some means had 1 been detached , aad this k ? -pt him from sinking . Hp , ! however , was floating about for upwards of three ] quarters of an hour before assistance came up when i the Queen Victoria steamer , which left Chatham at
twelve o ' clock , bore down and picked him up ; but ho then was in a most exhausted condition , and evidently would have expired but for the kindness and attention of the massex and crew of the steamer . The vessel broughs to for some time in the hopes of securing some of the others , but none of thfiin appeared above the f-urfaco of the water . The Victoria then proceeded to SheerneSjWnere Lieutenant Cudlip , was conveyed on board the Shearwater , whioh is lying off the Royal Dock-yard , where he remains in a dreadful condition . Directly on tbe intelligence reaching Sheerness , a number of vessels started off to the place-where the occurrence happened , and commenced dragging for the bodies of the unibrtunato sufferers ; but up to the period of the Duke of Su ^ sjx steamer leaving Sheer » esa yesterday forenoon none had been fouud . The event has produced the deepest sensation at Chatham and Sheerness . The Shearwater steamer ouly ' lcfc Woolwich on
Sunday last . —Lo ? idon Faper ^ Wednesday . Whirlwind—About five o ' clock on Tuesday evening last , the inhabitants " of ¦ Birkenhead .. were alarmed by ono of these unfrcqueni visitations of Providence . Kot a breath of . wind was felt at the time—" every leaf was at rest ' —when suddenly * a loud roar was heard , resembling the falling-of waters dowa a caiaract . This noise continued for about two minutrs , when tha winci came from the southeast , apparently embracing ; enly about eight yards in breadth , and its force was so powerful that it bent 1
down everything before it , shakingthe fioiiFoa it passed to their very foundations , and throwing up the water in the pits to a height of three or four yards . Providentially no other injury was dono than the breaking of some windows , and throwing do-v ? D brickp , slates , &o . The passengers by the Chester train were coming up Jay-street at the time , and many of them were thrown upon the ground by tho wind , and others had their umbrellas torn 10 pieces . The tffect of the wniilwirid was not felt more than three minutes . —Liverpool Mail ,

V ' . ..- . ' . ¦ ' ; ; . ' ) DEFEAT OF TiSE ANTI-CORN LAW AND COMPLETE SUFFRAGE PARTY . The Anti-Corn Law men made th « ir final struggle in Coventry , on Tuesday lasti Fot a week previous they had potted the town with bills , announcing a meeting to be held in the oounty Hall , which were headed , Starvation ! Starvation 1 ! Starvation 1 ! and Called on tho people to attend in their thousands , and . unite for the purpose of obtaining tho only remedy now left for the people ' s distress—Complete Suffrage . v '; . ' ¦ ;¦ :. ** / :.. : ' : * : " ¦¦¦ ; - ¦; : * . - A letter , inclosinfi one of the placards , was for ^
warded to Mr . White , of Birmingham , which wa . s read by hini to a Chartist meeting , upon which it was resolved that he Bhould comply with the request contained in the letter , and proceed to Coventry on the day of meeting , asitappeared that great exertion 3 were being made to thrust the Complete Sufirage m'oyemen-t before the country , under the sanotion of the men of Coventry . At twelve o ' clock , the county Hall was crowded , whilst hundreds were outside the doors who could not gain admission . Mr . Lvbley Whittem was unanimously called to the chair .
The Chairman briefly alluded to the object for which the meeting was called , and introduced Mr . Taunton , who rose to move the first resolution ^ which waa a declaration of tbe distress which existed throughout the land , The speaker dwelt at some length on the mi ? ery endured by the people , and concluded by moving the . resolution ^ - ; ' Mr- Broom field seconded the resolution , whioh was Carried unanimously . The Rev . S . Watts , Baptist Minister , then moved the following resolution : — :
-, " That , in the opinion of this meeting , the evils enumerated are mainly attributable to class legislar tion . That the restricted and unequal distribution of the elective franchisoj and the absence of any efficient protection in its exercise , have enabled the lauded interest , leagued with the representativeB of other pestilent monopolies , to obtain a paramount ascendaRcy in Parliamobt , thereby enabling them to saorifico the interests of justice ; and humanity to their sordid views : of personal aggrandisement . '' Mi * . JacobBbowext seconded tho resolution , which was put from the chair and unanimously agreed to . It ia necessary to state that the crowd outside the hall ' was sb kreat that the meeting was adjourned to § L ' Michael ' s churchyard , which adjoins thoCaunty Hall . The speakers addressing them from the windows .- ' - .... ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ . ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦;¦ ¦'¦' .. . ¦ ¦¦ ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ' -. ¦ ¦ : ¦¦' .- ¦ '¦ - ¦ ' - ¦ ¦
Mr . David BuckNey moved tho third resolution , which gave rise"to the opposition of the Chartists ; it was as follows ; - ... ' ¦ "That In -tho opinion of this meeting the opening of the ports for tHb free importation of corn would be productive of imGipdia'O relief ; but , that the only permanent security for the people against the crying evils -inflicted by unjust legislation is to be obtained from a 'Hpupo-of Gommo . ns rcpreseiitiiig the whole ' people , and elected upon- the . principles laid down .-in tho document called the People's Charter , and adopted by the conference of tho middle and workin ' g classes , hold in Birminghamj in the month of April last . " Mr . Cash socdhded the resolution .
Mr . Pktkr IIoey then addressed the meeting , and was loudly cheered . Ha proceeded at great loflgth to shew that the free importation of corn would not produce the benefit which the resolution asserted . He objected to the latter part of the ' resolution which referred to the Birmingham Conference , and said it Avas got , up for tho purpose of proping up the Corn Law Repealers . Ho alEO pointed out tho imgieuEe quantity of land which was uncultivated , as a means of supplying labour and food to the sinrviug people , and said that tho Charter alono could remedy the existing misery The rain which was falling for upwards of an hour , how increased bo much as to compel the raeaingtp adjourn to the County Hall , and after the confusion had ceased which was caused by the rufh to obtain good places ,
Mr . Sxoddaut arose , and was received with loud cheers . Ho Eaid he intended to move that the latter part of the resolution , referring to the Birmingham Conference , be erased . Ho could not understand what they meant by parading their complete suffrage nostrum . If they were . ' .

with Chartist principles , should meet with his disapproval . Tho working men of England had been too often made tho dupes of ' 'designing-, pavtle ' B , and less t ' no lass euntence contained in tho resolution , might bo construed into an approval of the 1 Complete Suffrage movement , he was resolved to take tho sense of the meeting on it , lest it should go forth to tho world that tho men of Coventry were in favour of the Complete Suffrage movement . He advised the working men to stand firmly by their own organisation—ilia National Charter Association , and never again to ; placo power in . the . hands-of- the middle p . lp . sse . R to dpopiv « s thoia . Mr . Btoddoirt concluded by moving : —
"That the vvprds referring to the Birmingham Conference be erased , " And resumed his seat amidst loud and enthusiastic cheering :. Mr . Thomas Williams seconded the motion . Rev . J . Gordon , Unitarian Minister , arose to address the meetm £ , when a shout for "White " was raised from all parts of tie meeting , upon which Mr . Gordon gave way . Mr . George White - then stood forward ^ and was received with loud cheer ? . Ha said he felt proud of the opportunity thus afforded him of meeting the middlo-classes , and he Would take care that before they left that meeting they should know what the working men meant . ( Loud cheers ) He was
rejoiced at the opportunity which was afforded him of explaining his views for himself without being subject to the 'dishonest celouving of a Whig or Tory newspaper . The workiing men of Kngland had assisted . . the middle classes to ^ et the Reform Bill . They were led to expect au improvement in thoir candition through the operation of that Biil . But had they derived the promised benefit 1 ( No . ) Let the oppressed and impoverished hand-loom weaveis of Coventry answer— had it increased their wages ? ( No . ) ISo , on the contrary , tho very men whom they had struf . ' # led to invest wicft power had proved their bitterest foes . Had they not passed the Poor Law Amendm ' ent Act ? ( Llieers . ) Had they not filled the land with police spins and ' 'bludgeon men \ And
now , ho \ vould ask those gentlemen . who wanted to repeal the Corn Lawy , liow was it that they who were talking of « ivin ^ the poor man a big loaf supported the . New Poor Law , which allotted a pauper fivo ounce ? of bread for a meal 1 ( Lond and continued cheerier ) . If they really wanted the Charter why not joiii with the ; worfcJDy men to obtain it ? Why not join the National Charter Association : ! Why talk about ' Complete " -Suffrage f The People's Charier was Coaiplcr . 0 SuffL-a ^ e , but - . Gompleto Suffrage was not the Charter . At the time that O'Conl ) ell was returned for the county of Clare , he avowfiu hini 8 olf a iiaciical Roformer , and was congratulated by Mr . Cobbetfc on the occasion , but ai ' tcrwards ' -at a liice . iu ^ in JDubliu , he 'declared
himselfa ' .. Coastuutipnal ' ' Rerormer , and Cobbett remarked very justly , that Mr . O'Conaell was shifting his grouud ,: and made use of the Following words : — " Radical -Reform is Constitutional Reform , but CoiiStituHonal Reform is nqt Radical Reform . A marois a horse but a liorue isiipta mare" - ^ Clau { 4 hfcr ) —> o it was witlv CoBipletc Suffrage . They mi ^ ht be deceived by that term , but there was no means of deceiving , thein whilst they abided ; by the Charter . Ho then went on at great length , to shew , the meeting the manner itv which the various political tricksters took up principles whioh were popular as a means of gaining their own selfisn purposes , and laid them down whenever it Suited them . He shewed up the object which the middle classes had in view , namely , the extension o £ trade , and said that the people of Mancnester had the cotton
trade extended to sucii a decree , that th 6 y wore scarcely - able to live , and ho would appeal to them .-selres and ask ¦ whether the increase Of the ribband trade had bettered their ' . condition 1 Had they not been reduced time ^ after time uijtii they were brought to extreme ppvettyl ( Yes , that ' s right ;) Mr . White proceeded ; to expose the fallacy of the propositions brought fcrivard by the "Fiv . e Tride " advocates , aad remarked that the ribbpads woven in Coventry went to decorato the heads of idlers , whilst their : own wives were in ra ^ s » The cloth Wovenat Leeds was sent to clothe foreigners , whilBt the men who made it were almost naked . Ho" therefore advised them to have nothing to dp with the Complete Suffrageiteser Cora Law Repeafers , but to stand , firmly by the Charter and the National Charter Association , and concluded by supporting the amendment . ; .
Rev . J . Gordon opposed bbth resolutions . He was favourable to Universal Suffrage , and considered the other points as guards for its exeroise . He would therefore object to the Charter as a whole . He likewise objected to some of Mn White ' s Btatements , and affirmed that the middle classes were not the tyrants that Mr . White represented them . Mr . Rattray supported the resolution . He said that although a , staunch Chartist he was inclined to adopt means for reconciling the middle and working glasses . He then read an extract from a newspaper which was copied from Black'iood ' s Magazine , setting forth that if the middle classes were induced to throwi themselves into the arms of the Chartists it would ruin . ; the landed aristocracy . For these reasons he would wish to secure the assistance of the middle classes , U ' , i '' . ¦'¦ - " . ¦' ¦ ' :- ' - ¦ ¦'¦ ¦ -. : ¦ - ¦ ' i Mr . Peter Hoey arose for the purpose of answering Mr .

favour of giving every mau a vote ; but if he refused to agree to the other points of the Charter , yhich was necessary ; to give effect to that vote , it was like putting a horse into a field of clover , and placing a muzzle on him that he might not ba able to eat : the horse might as well be turned to graze oh a canseway .. ( Loud laughter . ) Mr . David Shaw , of Nuneaton , made a neat and pointed speech , in which he Bhowed up the incpnsistency of the middle classes , and wished that some mode could bo .. { devised to remedy the evils that existed . ; ¦' : ' ¦ ¦ - , ' ' ¦¦'¦ . , '¦ ' ' ¦ '¦' - ""' : -: \ : ¦
Mr . Robert Mahon supported the amendment , and shewed that the middle classes did not nnderstaud their own position . It was the interesfc of the shopkeepers to assist th& working men to secure good wages , as their profits would be thereby increased , whilst it was the interest of manufacturers to reduce wages ; they ought , therefore , to look for the support of the shopkeepers , fidtcpuld not expect that of the manufacturers . He v ^ ould therefore appeal to thpso having a similar interest with themselves , to join their ranks , and by giving tlieir cordial co-operation , put an end to the present agitation . and
Mr . David Btjckisey then replied , after making various observations on the speeches of the parties who had ' supported the amendmeht , he concluded by urging the necessity of passing tho original resolution .

Mr . Rattray then moved a memorial to the Queen , founded on tho resolutions , to be signed by the Chairman on behalf of the meeting . Mr . Mayo seconded the motion . Mr . Stoddart moved—
-M That those parts of the memorial which alluded to the repeal of the Cora Laws be erased from the memorial . " Mr . GoRDOPf rose to order .

" Mr . Robert Mahon seconded the proposition . Mr . G . White , being again loudly called for , supported the aineudment in a long addregs , during which he was frequently cheered . ;

HOUSE OF COMMONS . Mr . Thomas Doxcombe brought on his motion with respect to the state of tho country . After contrasting the conduct of the / ministerial party ^ when in opposition with that of the present opposition , he expressed regret at tfco apathy evinced by the majority of the House respecting the distress of the country- ^ a distress which threatened social dissdlutfon , and which rendered the pcacei and tranquillity of the country not worth fortyeiglit ; hoars' purchase . The people had hitherto suffered in patience and with hope ; but hope was vanishinc . and the winter was a uproaching . Confident
expectations were uttered with respect to an early and abundant harvest ; but the Mark lane Express authoritatively di 3 couraged any anticipations of that nature . Ho called on tho Houso to entertainV . liid motion , which was for aa address to her .

Mr . Ward ( Sheffield ) seconded the motion . ¦
A great deal of . - " talk" ensued .. The motion was of course bppo _ sed by the Ministers , Sir" James Graham reminding the " House" that , in the month of October , to which period it was proposed toadjourn , the members would all be pheasant shooting !

As yet , hoVrcver , not a single head of ether beasts or sheep hag come to hand for that purpose , while we may bo permitted to observe that the paragraph which found its way into the columns of most of the London sud provincial press . la , st v ? eek ,: to the . effect that four balls had been imported from the Hpne *^ part of the Rhine , under tho existiug regulations at the Customa , has no foundation ia truth . We admit that the
stock in question , which was of extraordiuary merit , has come to hand , but they have beon sent huh < sr solely aa preaents to a neble house in this country ; and , in order to verify our assertions , we have to ^ tate ; that ai , council order for theiradnmsidn , duty free , as ia usually the case in suoh instances , ha , d been lying in the metropolis at least a month previously to tho present bill coming into operation . That further 8 upplioa will come to hand we entcr-. tain little doubt , as by letters which reached us on Friday , we had advices of a few beasts having arrived at Hambarg for shipment by the steamer which was to leave that port on that day , and which is expected to reach the Pool this afternoon ^ Much cautionis , we perceive ,
appareit on : the part of the German , Dutch , and French Qvvaers of stock , many of whom have lately visited this market , in order to make inquiries into the / value of things here .

HOUSE OF COMMONS— ' Wednesdayi July-20 , . On the bringing up of the report on the Poor-Law Amendment Bill , Mr . Kscott moved a clause , that it shall be lawful for all B lards of Guardians of tbe poor hi England and Wales to grant such relief as in their judgment shall be necessary to poor persons at their own homes , any order , ru . ' o , or regulation of tbe Poor Law Commissioners notwithstanding . He had taken Rroat painB to get at what was the principle of the Poorlaw , but was still ignorant of it . If its principle were the denial of relief except in tbo workhouse , then he strenuously opposed it , and believed that it could not long stand . A 3 a resident in an agricul tural district , he knew from personal experience ts « . t the in-door Inbour test wa 3 proc ' uetive of the
very -worst { ff-jcts . The honest , hard-workiu « labourer refbwed to ^ o into the workhouse , and lingered Oil till poverty alld disease broke him down , while the idle and pr .-fiijratfc « -Cnt into it , and {; otfa . t He freely admiued that there wer . ^ evils contingent on the adoption of his proposition , buv on tho wholo he thought that these evils were lesser in amount than those attending the woikhou ? o test . He knew instances in which Beards oi Guardians violated the law by givjBg out-door relief , under the ^ uiso oi loans which they never expected to be repaid , and it was a shocking stats of things to drive humane men to violate an Act of Parliament . He called on the House to adopt his proportion before a coming winter laid its iron grasp on the poor . On a division the clause was rejected by a majority of 90 against 55 .
THE CHARTISTS . On reading the order of the day for going into committee of supply . Mr . T . Duncosbe rose , pursuant to notice , to move for a copy of the depositions taken on the trials of John Mason , a tharlist lecturer , and seven workiDg men , at the late qnarter sessions for the county of Stafford , together with copies of the indioiments , the notes of the chairman taken at the trial , and the nances of the magistrates and jury before whom they
were tried and convicted . Tne Hon . Member said that he regretted extremely that it became his duty to interpose between the llight Hon . Baronet ami that duly which he knew gave the House so much pleasure , ha meant the duty of voting away the people ' s money . ( Cheers and laughter . ) But this grievance wss so urgent , tiie precedent was so daufjrrou- ; , that he had r . o . alternative but to call the attention of the house to the facts stated in the petition which he had yesterday presented from Stafford rebth : to this su *> j-ct . -
Lord Sando . v would put it to the Hon . Gentleman whether it was quit ; - fair to interpose on this occasioni when ther . ^ was no ono preser-t who was conversaist with the subj-.-ct . He i-uggested a delay of a day or two , in ordtr that time might be given to co .-nmumra ^ with the magistrfttes . That would bo more cr > nv < nm-iit , and perhaps fairer . Mr . T . Buncombe thought it waa rather extraordinary thac the Nuble Lord should interrupt him after the notice which had been on the paper n whole day . Fairness oui ; ht to be fchown , nut to tho chairman of the quarter sessions alone , but to the ci ^ ht individuais who were now in iStafford # ao ! , having been , as he conttii'Jed , itiegAly commitied . If nobody in tbe Hou ; e knew about , tho circumstances , he would let them know . His o'j ^ twas that tho'House
and thacouijtry should know what the working ciasses were 5 uff-. riji ; , " Tor their opinions . If these individuals had been tried at tho assizes , or before any tribunal but the court of quarter sessions , they would have been honourably acquitted by the jury . However , he was in the bauds of the House , and if the Righ t Hon . Baronet woui d say , that on Fridy y or some early day he should havo an opportunity of bringing the case forward , he should be content to waive the ri ^ ' nt he had to bring on a question of grievance on reaiisir the order ror ' going into supply . He said that this was an uj . < just conviction , and the ri fcht of the House oi Commons of holdiDg inquest of public grievances wot ! 3 d be at an end if these men were to ba tried and convicted , as they had been , without notice bc : Dg taken of it .
S ; r J . Gbaiiam said , that it was clearly impossible that the committee of supply could close that night ) and he thought that any other Fupply-day would , to the Hod . Gentkmau' » sense- of justice , be much more adracta ^ eous for brining forward t his Subject ; beeause , _ by that linie , ^ the chairman , and magistrates mi . i ? ht be communicated with , and both sides of ihe case be fairly presented to tho House . Ho was net aware of the circumstances until last uight ; when the Hon . Gentleman gave notice of his motion he was not aware that these parties had even been apprehended . There were no papers in his office that threw any light on the matter . It would , therefore , be utterly impossible for him to controvert any of the facts which the Hon . Gentleman might state .
Any one who read the petition would see how grave were the charges it made ; there were charges against the constable , against the magistrates , and the chairman of the qaarter sessions , who was accused of violating "his oath , and the jury of perjury * " More grave subject of consideration could scarcely be brought forward , and , as Jie bad already observed , he was not now in a situation to enter upon it . ; ' Mr . T . Dtjncohbb said , if the Right Hon . Baronet in the private oommunicatipn he bad held with him that evening , had not said that the Government would not institute » ny inoairv into the
subject , and that he ( Mr . Pnoeoabe ) must act upon his own discretion , he would not now have pressed the matter , nor would he do so , as he understood the Right Hon . Baronet to say that he should have an opportunity on Friday . Sir . J . Graham explained , that what ho had said to the Hon . Gentleman was , that he would not make any engagement to enter into any soch inquiry , unless the petition contained some charge against the magistrates or the constituted authorities . He repeated , that he would not enter into the inquiry unless he received some official communication impugning the conduct of the magistrate ? .
