-ElO&iATlOH TO THE USTTH > - ~ Sx 41 E 9 i—EBOXECIIO 5 L , 05 THE POOS EmCBAXTS MjLISSX THE WlLES AXD JiATOS or the EjaGBATio ^ Shabks . —Thongh we - never have adcistf Emigration , ' w have deemed it our duty to puolisli aU information for the use of Emigrants rtiatliasfellen in ourway ; and particularly that sort of information calculated to guard them aSainst the heartless frauds conmiitted by the sharks uho heset the -tsUi of theicexperieneedand the simple , chousing them out of their means b y * every species of Vow trickery and cunning . To this end we inserted the Journal of Mr . TStkfitKlT , containing notes ana observations SUggefiled by bis joumey'io the United States ; and we have djoitc than once called attention to his recommendation that agencies should be established in Liverpool and
jTeir Tork for the transmission of Emigrants by par . ties who would be content with a Am- and honourable profit on their transactions , and who would make such ssrangemenls as should protect the Emigrants from every attempt at extortion . We know that Mr . Pitkethly has not £ een content with barely giving such recommendation ; Iratie has tried to induce parties , of whom he had a knowledge , is take file matter up , and accomplish Ms desire . His efforts is re oeen crowned with some success ; for Dr . Smiles , of HocuC 5-ter , is ' engaged in perfecting arrangements on the other side of the Atlantic , which will enable the Emigrant hereto know the exact cost of transmission to almost any part of the United States , and to secure his passage through , free of all other demands or bargainings , by
payment of the stipulated sum to the Liverpool agent . From a recent letter from Dn Smiles to 2 Sr . Kðly , we give the following . It shows the necessity of some such scheme as above indicated to protect the wanderer from heartless robbesy : — In regard to the price of passage from Ifew York to Buffalo , as forwarded to you ic mr last , and now again sent for publication , I beg to assure you that it is extremely low , indeed considerably more so than it has been ou an average for years past , and nearly 2 s . Gd . sterling under the sum charged by Harndeu and Co . last year . It is true that rich forwarding merchants nave some years undertaken to carry passengers at the price you speak of ; but this is invariably done for a Sinister purpose . It is alwavs the result of a
combination among the rich to break down and rum the poorer forwarders , who have been doing business at lowei prices . It is in this way that a monopoly is ultimately secured to the avaricious rich . Tiis sort of competition is very common jn this country , and in the absence of Sped . 1 l privileges it is the natural result of associated ¦ wealth , whose insupportable tyranny cannot bear restraint or dictation . Companies will associate together , to break down any single individual who may have temerity sufficient to disregard their ordinary terms of doing 'business . On iheXortb . river ( die Hudson ) the usual price is two dollars from New York to Albany-, ^ in steam-boats ; but frequently , in order to ruin some ~' enterprising competitor , who would be content with less profit , the old rich companies will manage to run down
the fcrc to half a dollar , and one year they actually carried passengers for a short period for nothing . In this waj ell competition was speedily broken down , and for the remainder of the year the charge was raised to three dollars . Thus , in the end , they lost nothing , wlnle they secured a monopoly of the business . Last year , there was an association among the forwarders on the canal not to carry passengers below a certain price . This , was very favourable to Harndenaud Co ., who thereby were enabled to defy competition . This season Colonel Allen will have nothing to do with any association ; and as his house is one of the oldest and most respectable in the business , so attempt can be made to dictate terms tO Mm Or break Mm down . You may rely with the Utmost confidence on the integrity and kindness , not
onlj of himself , bnt of all his subordinates ; as he will suffer « o deviatio * by the latter from the strict line of dntj yoiutedout to them , in their treatment of passengers consigned to them . But a general agency such as you contemplate isl notwithstanding , of great importance , as the following case will clearly show . A year or two ago , I was called upon by a gentleman to become bail for one of my native countrymen , who had been consigned to a common gaol under circumstances most afflicting . He was a middle-aged man , with a large family , on his way to the west . Some " of the land sharks of New York had got hold of him on his arrival there , cozened him with wonderful tales of their abilities to get him forwarded cheap and comfortable to Ms place of destination . . The poor man was induced to make a
bargain , and pay his money in advance . On reaching Albany , he and Ms family were consigned to an over-Crowded boat , and stowed away in the hold . This he put up with , but he was annoyed in every conceivable way . "Water was ttrown down upon him and his family before they _ were np in the morning , by . the hands carelessly washing the decks , So heed was paid to his raaonstrances , and Ms son , while seconding him , was , without provocation , pushed by the Captain into the canal , and while in the water struck down by a handspike . The father , of course , roused by such brutality and injustice , endeavoured to defend his son , and this , by merely laying hold of the handspike which was in the hands of the brutal Captain . On this , the latter , runted upon him and beat Mm , so that Ms eyes were
blackeneu , andhisbodyotherwiseseverelybruisea . Such crying injustice demanded redress , if redress could be possibly had . At theinstigafion , therefore , ofsomeof the passengers , the poor man complained to the authorities on his arrival in this city . What satisfaction did he get , do you suppose ? The Captain was bound over to be tried for assault and battery , a month or two afterw 2 rds ; the poor man to appear against bun as witness . To do this he must be detained—a thing impossible , as delav would be ruin to him . But not content with the punishment he had wantonly inflicted on an innocent mn ^ the infamous Captain turned round and swore an assault and battery against lnsTictbn . He , a stranger in a strange land , could not find bail , and he was thrown into prison to await his trial ; his wife ' and family left
meanwhile to distraction , and probable beggary . ^ The moment the matter was explained to me , I hurried to the boat , made inquiries of the passengers into all the circanistances , and found that the Captain had perjured himself .. Ihadhimimmediatelyapprehended onacharge of perjury ; brought up thepassengers to prove the falsity of what be had sworn to againstthemanhe had abused and maltreated ; and , after a tedions examination , had himhoundoverinheavy bail to answer for this , a States prison offence . He got frightened at the thorough exposure of his rillany , and was glad tosettie the matter by paying the poor man fifty dollars , and all expenses . Uo doubt , although this is the only case of the kind that came within niy knowledge , many such , occur , and the necessitv therefore of an Emigrant agent , who will
Se » kindness extended , and contracts fulfilled to the letter , must be apparent , not only to you , but to every reflecting mind . In this instance , had I not visited the city that day , and just at the time I did , the boat and Captain would have left for the west , and the poor man had his manifold injuries unrequited . S .

Exiexsive Robberies nf Suhret . —For many months past the gentry , farmers , and others of Surrey , especially in the neighbourhood of Wokmg , have suffered , severely from depredations committed by an apparently organized gang of thieves . Sheep , -poultry , implements of husbandly , timber , and other articles have been missed in large quantities . The Southwestern Railway Company were also sufferers to a great elt ? " * - Every mode has been adopted by the local and railway police to detect the offenders , but until recently their efforts ^ re unavailiBg . "Witton three miles of the town of Wokihe ^ TiUa S . of Perlight . Oil the further side of the rilu ^"; eoui ? fix ) m London , is a large extent of waste lanu , oil which a number of poor people , and many suspected characters , have erected huts . One of these huts was occupied by a man named Wells , who professed to follow the business of a wheelwright . He had been
previously convicted of felony . , On the 20 th ult . a quantity of elm planking was stolen from the wharf of Mr . Marshall , a timber merchant at Woking . A sawyer named Luxford gave Mr . Marshali inforination which , induced Mm to suspect Wells and a man who occasionally worked for that person , and he communicated with Mr . Meddlicombe , the chief constable of Godalming . This functionary arrived with a search warrant , proceeded to Wells ' s house , and found it to be almost tilled with stolen property . The officer found five elm planks and a clump of wood corresponding with the kind of timber taken from Mr . Marshall ' s , a ' sheep net forty yards in length , a quantity of tools which had heen stolen at different times irom off the railway , fanning implements , &c . Thcofficer afterwards searched the house of Cliapniail , Wells' labourer , and there found , under the flooring of the sitting and bedroom , " several pieces of timber , which were afterwards identified as Mr . Marshall ' s
property . Mr . J . B . Dalby , superintendent of the Soutli-Western Railway police , afterwards went to Chapman ' s house and asked his \ yife for some nails which had been missed off the line . This woman said there had been some nails in the house , but fearing she should get . into trouble ; she put them outside the house , and somebod y had taken them away . The officer , not satisfied with this statement , proceeded to search the place , and discovered a few in a deal box , and also in a pocket usually worn by the woman Chapman . Mr . Ualby afterwards had a heap of fagots which were in the garden removed , and when the ground was opened upwards of 3 , 000 nails were found { concealed there . These nails were all made of galvanised iron , and exclusively
manufactured for the erection of the galvanic telegraph on the South-We 3 tern Railway . These nails had been stolen since last November . Many other articles of stolen properly were found in this house . The prisoners Charles Wells and William Chapman were apprehended , and after undergoing a short examination , wer e remanded until Saturday last . The net was proved U > be the property of the Earl of Lovelace , the Lord Lieutenant of the county , who resides at ' Audrey , and many of the other articles were identified . On Saturday the Earl of Lovelace ,. Mi * . Mangles , M . P ., and some other magistrates , met at Guildford , and the prisoners underwent a final examination . The proceedings excited great interest , and the large 1 * 0001 at the hospital .
where the examination took place , was crowded . The charges of stealing the timber and the nails belong " ing to Messrs . Cook and Wheatstone , patentees of the galvanic telegraph , were taken and completed , and the prisoners T ? rere committed for trial . Numerous other charges could have been preferred , but the noble chairman suggested that indictments could be preferred at theassizes . ThepriBonerWells was tried and convicted two years since for uncoupling a truck from the luggage-train on the South Western Railway when itwas in motion , and stealing two chests of tea and other valuable property , aud on that occasion received sixmonths' imprisonment . Eight Peusoss Drowsed . —On Saturday evening , about six o ' clock , an accident occurred on Lough
Ree . near Athlone , by which eight persons lost their lives . A new quarry was lately opened at Coorsni Point , near Hare Island , for the purpose of supplying stone for the new docks about to be erected at Athlone , and after the workmen had closed their labour for the day some had to cross the ferry to their homes . Nine men and two women got into a-boat for that purpose , and were not more than a few yards from the shore when the boat upset , and eight of the men were drowned . There were numbers of persons on shore , but they could give no assistance to those in the water , which was very deep at the point where the calamity occurred . One of the women owed her escape toa bag of bran which was -fastened on her back and kept hor afloat , and the other woman
sunposes that she was kept afloat by her clothes , for she lias no recollection of havingseized hold of any timber . They were taken up by a boat which came to their aid after a delay of several minutes . . Lord Castlemaine happened to be one of the spectators of th fs calamity , and he did all in his power to procure - ^ for the sufferers , bnt it came too late for the g _ bulk of the party . rm Fatal Boiler Exri . O 3 iox . —Four . Men Killed . — Another of those fatal occurrences , the details of which are so extremely distressing as to produce the most painful excitement as to the cause ot' such awful conseguences , took place at the factory of Mr . S&mnda , engineer , in the vicinity of Kackwall , by which three poor fellows were killed on the spot ,
and a great many others mostseriouslyinjured . The name of Samuda will naturally bring to remembrance the lamentable occurrence on board the Gipsy Queen steam-boat , in November last , when , under similar circumstances , as respects the testing of machinery , Mr . Samuda ' s brother and others lost their lives . The number of unfortunate sufferers on the present occasion appears to be a 3 many as those who received injury on board the Gipsy Queen , "but although we have to record the death of four , we trust the effects will not prove so fatal . From the most authentic sources we learn that on Wednesday morning , as usual , the machinery at the factory , situated in Orchard-street , near " the East India Docks , was put in motion by the engines , to generate the steam , tor
which the boiler was placed in a brick house adjoining . This boiler is said to have been nearlynew , and to have been constructed by Messrs . Fairbura , of Miilwall . forNo . 11 Waterman , but not beingfound to answer the purposes for which it was required , the boiler was sold at an auction about a month ago , and transferred to the yard of Messrs . Samuda . It is also said the boiler , which was on theftibular principle , had been previouslv tested , and thatit was capableofendur ing a pressure ' of 601 bs . to the squareinch ; and that at the tune it was feeding the engines there was not a greater pressure than 401 bs . on ; but this statement , winch was made by one of the labourers , who was slightly wounded , niay not be correct . But another of the sufferers suteeaucntlv stated , and whose
evidence will , no doubt , be taken on the inquest , that at the same time they were working at 401 b . pressure he was ordered to go and nail down the valve , which order he obeyed . However , a short time aftev the sieam had been got up and the engine set in motion ( about ten o'clock ) , and while the men were engaged in theirrespective occupations , the boiler burst in a most awful explosion , scattering death and destruction all around , and engulphing the poor fellows amidst the heap of ruins which it instantly made . As may be easily imagined , the sudden explosion created the greatest dismay in . the works , and the utmost consternation in the vicinity . Recovering from the confusion , the workmen of the premises were immediately engaged in extricating their
fellows from the smoking mass , sickening at the appalling sights of scalded heads and mangled limbs . Within half a dozen yards of the fractured boiler lay the mutilated dead bodies of two labourers , Wright and Chapman , "doubled" up , the bowels of the latter actually protruding . The"dead disfigured corpse of another labourer was found on the opposite side of theriverLea , called Bow Creek , a distance of about 150 yards from the factory . This man was called Wright , and was also a labourer . He wa 3 sitting on the boiler putting down some tow , and was seen from the river shot up into the air at an elevation of 100 feet . These three were beyond aU hope of relief in this world , and they were soon removed to the dead-house at Poplar . The other sufferers , of which
eight were most severely injured , were the immediate objects of care and attention . All , more or less , were scalded , and had their limbs and joints fractured and their bodies contused , presenting a most piteous spectacle . Dr . Bain , the nearest medical man , was soon administering his relief and a van was procured , and some were conveyed in it to the London Hospital , while four of the number were taken on board the Flirty Greenwich steamer , to the Dreadnought Hospital . Mr . Lowe , the manager , wlio so providentially escaped on board the Gipsy Queen , by running up the ladder the moment before the bursting of the pipe , was severely injured , and
wastakentohis own residence , as were many others who received bruises . By this explosion the whole of the engine-house has been levelled to the ground , the broken tiles and bricks of which are thickly strewn over the whole of the area . A large glasshouse adjoins the premises , in the whote of which the windows were entirely destroyed , breaking at least 1000 panes of glass , as also the windows of the private houses in the immediate neighbourhood . The boiler was rent into three distinct pieces ; one portion of which , weighing about seven cwt , was blown over the houses , and fell into Orchard-street , distant about 300 yards , striking in ite descent the door-post and wall belonging to Messrs , Turner , tar-manufacturew

The second portion , weighing about five cwt ., ' was likewise blown over tneiiousu » , " nna&iVjri " arradioin ing field , at a distance of about 100 feet . The thira portion of the boiler , containing the tubular pipes , remains in the yard of Messrs . Samuda . At the London Hospital , the sufferers received that kind attention which the medical gentlemen are so prompt in affording ; but we fear some of the cases are beyond the skill of the most experienced . On board the Dreadnought the four poor fellows conveyed thither were most carefully provided witli every remedy that could tend to alleviate their severe sufferings and preserve life ; and Captain Sanders and tue surgeons of that excellent institution spared no exertions to effect theiv object . But Smith , the boiler maker , never rallied , gradually sinking , and expired about twenty minutes to nine p . m . He had a compound fracture in the left arm , a compound fracture of the jaw , and severe internal
injuries . He was , in general , sensible , but incoherent at times . He was thirty-three years of age , resided at Deptford , and has left a wife and seven children , the eldest under thirteen years of age . William Neal , an engineer , is still living , but in a sad plight . He has several ribs fractured , and is otherwise injured . Both then" eyes were full of mortar . _ Charles Phillips , another at the Dreadnought , was injured in the legs , which on . being dressed ho left the ship . Another man , who was taken in hand , had a severe contusion on the shoulder dressed , and he also departed . The following is a list of the suffers : —Dead : Thomas Wright , aged thirty-six , laLuW" ^ ft a wife and one child ; Richard Grimes , laKS ; - Jam *; -te J ^ T & £ ?* £ Smith boiler-niaker .

Ikelaxd . —Akotuer Fatal Acoident by Drowsixg . —Several Lives Jjost . —An Jaccident occurred on Monday night at Longford , by which , itis supposed , from sixtotenpersoushavelosttheirlives . A crowd ofenrigrairts came into Longford on Monday / and made application for their passage to Dublin in the canal-boat . They were told that as about forty places were already secured , the whole party could not be accommodated as they desired . They were , however , determined to leave by the boat , and nearly an hour before the ordinary time of sailing they crowded on board in a body , and took possession of aU parts in spite of the boatmen and the police on duty . The master remonstrated with them about the impropriety of their conduct , and threatened not
to leave the harbour with them . They then cast off the warps and pushed the boat into deep water , and a number of them being attracted to one side , the boat lurched , the water flowed over her side , and hi an instant she sank . The confusion and excitement which ensued may be imagined . Every exertion was made by all on the shore to relieve these people , and , considering the great number whowerem the boat and very few being able to swim , it is considered most providential' that so many escaped with then * lives . The number actually submerged is variously estimated at from one hundred to . one hundredand fifty persons . The bodies of six persons had been taken out of the water when the last account left , and it was then apprehended that four more remained . i
Extensive Conflagration . — Information was received on Monday of the outbreak of a most disas- ; trons fire at Peterborough , which terminated in the loss of property to the amount of two thousand pounds . > It appears that the fire originated in the candle-house belonging to Mr . Vergette , grocer and tallow-chandler . The premises are of considerable extent , and at the time , independently of the stock-in-trade , there was ne less than 2 , OO 0 lbs . of mould candles , and a vast quantity of dip-lights . ' The fire extended to the adjoining houses , the whole of which were most severely injured by fire , water , and removal . ¦ - ¦ ¦ ' -
Double Execution . —The man named Rougier , and the weman Auga , both condemned to death for poisoning—the first his wife , and the other her husband—were executed on Tuesday , at VendOme . Rougier had sunk into such complete insensibility , that it was necessary to cany him up to the platform of the scaffold . On being . ' informed that his hour was come , he first uttered dreadful cries , but afterwards became cahn , and said , "I shall not suffer so much as my poor wife ! " The widow Auga , on the contrary , showed great firmness , and even made some resistance when the executioner laid his hands upon her . An innnense crowd was collected to view this sanguinary spectacle . —Golignani .
Chame op Maxslaughier asaixsi a Policeman at Liverpool . —On Saturday last , a coroner ' s inquest was held on the body of Thomas Matthews , nineteen years of age , who , according to the evidence , was in Octeberlast struck with a stick , by police-officer No . 538 , Roger Chamley , during an angry altercation with the deceased and two other young men who were at the time more or less intoxicated . In a few days after , the young man was attacked with a sweUingia the left thigh ; he was taken to the Northern Hospital , and died there on Thursday last . The jury , after a brief consultation , returned a verdict of "manslaughter" against officer 538 , who ivas accordingly committed to Kirkdale to take his trial at the approaching assizes ,
Suicide at Curemont . —On Thursday morning week , Edward Story , keeper of the lodge at the principaljentrance at Ckremont , belonging to the King of the Belgians , committed suicide by cutting his throat , After breakfast , apparently quite well , he took hot water into his bed-room for shaving ; in a few minutes his wife heard a noise overhead as of some one stamping , and on running up stairs she found her husband on the floor in the agonies of death , having cut his throat with arazor so as almost to separate the headfrom the bodv .

HOME CIRCUIT . Hertford , March 1 . —The Damn-able Game Laws . —Stephen Boswell , 21 , George Warboys , 22 , and Frederick Jeans , 19 , were indicted for being unlawfully , in the night-time , armed with guns and other offensive weapons , upon certain enclosed land belonging to the Marquis of Salisbury . It appeared from the evidence that , on the night of the 16 th of December , one of his lordship ' s gamekeepers , named Noah Waller , was on duty in a wood belonging to the noble marquis , called Howick ' s Wood , but which is in the occupation of Mr . C . Dinisdale . At a late hour of the night the keeper heard the report of five-arms , and shortly afterwards he saw the prisoners BoSWell and Warboys , and two other men , come into the wood , one of them carrying a gun . He saw one of them discharge the gun , and a bird fall , which was picked up ; and all the men then went out of the wood
The keeper followed them , and was shortly afterwards joked by his father , upon which the prisoners said that they should call their " mates ; " and one of them whistled , when two more men , one of whom was the prisoner Jeans , came up . The keepers continued to follow the men , and as they were passing a pond , the poachers threatened that if they did not go away they would throw them in . They did not , however , oemmiit any violence , and upon the keepers going towards a farmhouse to call for move assistance , they all ran off , and the prisoners were not apprehended until some tune afterwards . The jury returned a verdict of Guilty against Boswell and Warboys , and acquitted Jeans . The prisoner Boswell , who had , it appeared , heen several times before in prison , was sentenced to twelve , and Warboys to six months' imprisonment and hard labour ,
WESTERN CIRCUIT . Winchester , March 1 . — Manslaughter . — John Holden was indicted for the manslaughter of Benjamin Shaw . It appeared that the prisoner and the deceased were convicts on board one of the hulks at Portsmouth ; the prisoner having been sentenced at one of the Wiltshire quarter sessions to be transported for ten years for stealing a watch . On the lfrth of December a convict , who was called as a witness , stated it was his duty to man the ladders for breakfast , which the convicts did by turns . Having done this he went into his ward , followed by the deceased . The prisoner was there , and was accosted by the deceased , who said , " What ! You here again ; why , you , you are always skulking your work . " To this the prisoner made some angiy reply , and the deceased then went up to him , took him by the collar
