      Lieutenant Eobebts , R . N ., who navigated the Siriiu steam-packet to New York , has reeeired an elegant piece of plate , from his friends in Cork . Steam Music—Amongst the numerous inventions which almost daily claim a . share of public attention , we have to notice th at of a steam organ , invented and adapted to the " Tyne" lot-omobve engine , the property of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway Company , by the Bev . James Birkett , of Ovingham . The instrument bears the greatest resemblance to the organ ; it consists of eight pipes ,

      tuned to compass what is termed by musicians an octave , but without any intervening tones or semitones . This is the " first attempt to adapt a musical instrument to the steam-engine , capable of producing a tune , and though not so perfect as to admit of allthe pleasing variety and combination of sound as the instrument to which we have compartd it , there is no doubt but very considerable improvements will be made in this steam musical instrument by the inventor , who is a skilful musician a * well as an ingenious mechanic . —Tyne Mercury .

On Thursday- an . inquest-was held ' on the tmtl ? ., and a verdict returned of " JL < wdentaHeath / There is no doubt , from the evidence , that the Colonel fell down in a state of intoxication .

      Simplicity of Livixs . —} ir . Curtis , in the second edition of his small work on the Pr «> ervatian of Hea ' tn , just published , observes tbat in order to hear acd > ee wdl , it is necessary to be in health , a state in which most persons have it ia their power to be , provided their constitutions may not have been "injured by mismanagement . Hearing and seeing well , however , are not the only advantages attending the posses .-ion of this blessing not commonly known . A healthy person rarely catches

      cold—may eat almost anything with impunity—and last , though surely not least , he may escape the manifold dangers of liie , aud die of old age } a remarkably rare occurrence , the vast majority of the human race dying before they reach tbe prime ; and about one-half before tbe age of twelve yeurs .

      Aeallino Accidekt on board the Victoria Hxjll Steamer—Five Lives Lost , and Seven Persons dreadfully injoked . —On Thursday afternoon , between four and tire o ' clock , as the Victoria steam vessel was . earning from Hull to London , when on arriving off Shadwell , she ran foul of a collier brig , carrying away the bowsprit . Captain Bell instantly ordered the steamer to be stopped , which was done , and almost immediately afterwards a terrific , explosiwn took place . The anchor was immediately let -go , - and ' Captain Bell followed by the second-mate , rushed down to the eBgine room , at the imminent risk of their lives , and raked the tire out from under the

      boilers . The alarm having in some degree subsided , search was made , when , four of the ' engineers and firemen were found in different parts of the engine-room , quite dead , having being scalded in a most horrible manner , ' and black as a coal , and seven others most dreadfully injured , four of whom were at once conveyed to the Dreadnought hospital ship , off Greenwich , and the remaining three to their respective "homes . The passengers ( in all 97 ) were removed on shore in boats , without halving received the slightest injury . The ill-fated wiser has been towed to the East India Pock . Part : of one of her paddle boxes is carried away , anu the quarter-board destroyed , but this was ca , u . « ed by coining in contact

      with the collier , and not from tbt \ e . ip ] oi ' iojj . A few hours after the accident , the ladies of tbe deceased sufferers were placed in shells and conveyed to the bonehouse at Sbadwell . Captain Bell , to w"ho < e heroic conduct a majority of the passengers in all probability owe their lives , is said tobs in a state of mind bordering ou distraction in consequence of the melancholy occurrence . The Yictoriute a very handsome steam-ship , and has been lately repainted ; ¦ . -he w-as launched in 1837 , and had . cn ^ iues and machinery made from tbe de-igns , and under the immediate direction of a Scotch euginter , named Napier , ( not tbe eminent firm of the same name at Glasgow , who made the engines for several large

      Scotch gfeam ships , and have prepared those for tin ; British Queen , ) upon a principal peculiarly bis own . On the 16 th of March , 1838 , she was engaged in making an experimental trip in the river wifh a number of visitors on board , when au accident , precisely similar to the one just recorded , happened to her . A portion of one of her boilers gave way , and Jive men , including the chief engineer , loot their lives . It is singular that tbe accident ,-according to Captain Bell , aro * e from the same cause as upon the last occasion , for he stated that he had examined the boiler that was yet sound , and found no water in it , but that it was red hot . In such a state many operatives on board said , it was no wouder tbat an

      explosion took place . On Monday morning , about eleven o ' clock , the funeral of the unfortuuata men who lost tbtir lives by the bursting of the boiler on board the Victoria steam-ship took pluce . Tiie preparations had been conducted with great privacy , in ' order to prevent an inconvenient assemblage of the curious ; and just after the severe storm ot thunder , lightning , and rain which visited the metropolis , the inoar ^ ful * procession jnoml from the undertaker's Lou £ e towards Shadwell churchyard . Five coffins , covrred with velvet palls , and vmh a uniou jack , lent for the occasion by Mr . Hilli - ofiiower--Stood * ft-ell , hanging . oves each . . The ctJfl ^ g ^ Qntaiaed the ' bodies of Andrew Brown , " / atne ^ " ^ 0 X 8 ^ "Willialj ' 31 ' iiinlay , John M'Ponald , and George Hutchcroft . The crew of the Victoria followed-as

      mourners , ar . A the friends of the deceased , aewral engineers , . stoker-- " , and others closed the procession . The wife of Young was supported to the ground by agvutleinan connected with the Hull Steam Packet Company ; but we did not observe ary other of tbe wives of the dec-eased . An immease number of persons assembled immediately on the mournful cortege leaving the undertaker ' s premises , and accompanied , it to the churchyard , the large area of which was soon covered with spectators . A grave on the south side of tue church had been prepared of ' sufficient depth to receive the live coffins , which were slowly placed within it , leaving a space of about eight feet above the uppermost . The Rev . Mr . Lutyens , M . A ., curate of St . Paul , Shadwell , received the bodies of the poor fellows as tht-v entered the churchyard , and read the form of service for the dead in an audible

      ani impressive manner . On enquiry , it was found tha ; James Asia , who is on board the Dreadnought is in as bad a state as possible to be alive , and his sufferings are most excrutiating . He is burnt and scaldtd from head to foot , and it is surprising that b < = has lived so many days in the condition be is in . William ColvilJe , the second engineer , who is attended at his own home by Mr . Byrne , a surgeon , is ia a similar state . During the day he was expect- d to die every minute ; but towards night he railitd , and hopes are entertained that he may yet survive . In answer to questions by Mr . Byrue , surgeon , he has stated , that the cause of the accident was the construction of the gratings and flues ,

      but roost positively dtuies that the boilers were short of water , or that the feed-pipes had been turned off , as it wai suggested to the jury on Saturday was the probable cause . It is intended to pet a statement from Colville , in writing , of the circumstances of the explosion , if he should be in a state to afford it . Jacob Evans , the head engineer , is not yet out of danger , and there is no probability of his ever being able to give evidence , as his vision is destroyed , aud his senses are much impaired by the injuries he has received . James Barton , the o : her Mifierer , it is confidently believed , will recover , but it is utterly impossible that he can give evidence at the iuqui-st unless it is prolonged Home weeks .

      The unfortunate occurrence still continues to excite tie most intense interest along the water side , and the impolicy of using boilers which hadbefore caused loss of life is denounced in terms of severity which exhibit the strong feeling to which the circumstances have given rise . The most extraordinary part of the ease is , tbat when the inquest-was held on five sufferers on the former occasion , another accident was predicted if the same boilers were continued in use , indeed , it was publicly stated in the newspapers , and singnlarlyerioDgh tbe prediction has ' been awfully realized . Inquests were holden on the bodies of the unfortunate victims on Saturday and Monday ^ After hearing evidence and examining the vessel , the inquests were adjourned till Tuesday the 27 tb .

      MURDER OF ELIZA GRIMWOODHUBBARD'S DISCHARGE . This beiag the day appointed for the bringing up of Hubbard , who was remanded from last Monday week , an immense crowd assembled around the Police-office long before Iyasine 83 usually commences . The curiosity of the multitude was doomed to suffer great disappointment , Ǥ> r there was a great number of trivial charges to be disposed of which occupied the Magistrates till half-past twelve . About eleven , the Surrey prisoners van arrived , and a tremendous rush took place , it being concluded that it conveyed Hubbard , out such was not the cose , and if became rumoured-that the Magistrates would not ' allow ' him to be brought up , for fear of the excitement which his appearance seemed Kkely to create . Shortly after twelve , tha surgeon who was examined at the inquest

      entered the room , and was for some time in close conference with the Magistrates . Atoat half-past twelve Inspector Field ( to wh . om , it » nll W recollected , the conduct of tbe investigation has been in « ojhe measure confided ) made his appearance , and laid before the Magistrates a couple of brass door plates taken from the room in which the murder was committed , a small penknife , and the ftays . of th&unforhinate deceased , dyed in blood , The door plates presented , on several parts , the appearance off .

      alarm she had of the murder was frorh Miss Glover , who cried out "There has been murder ! " When Miss Glover , said that , Mr . Best was standing above her on theJandihg , and Hubbftrd above him , quit *; behind . Witness , when asked why she did not speak of the murder at the time she went out early m the morning to the public house ,, replied , ahe was so agitated , but she mentioned it to the policeman whom she met , and to a person named Reynolds . She went on to say there were h-o or tlirce towels in the room over liight—certainly more than one . She saw none next morning , Hubbard s inotlier removed . them .

      The beadle , Anderson , here said , that about six o ' clock in the morning of the warder , he saw two towels in the room . . Mr . Jeremy—That goes to explain another absurdity iu an anonymous letter we have received , A iuaD snys he is the murderer , and that ha threw liothlhe ^ weapon with which he committed ' .-. the act mid the ' towels over tlie bridge . Now , this is quite ; disproved ai regards the tow-els , which were found the next morning . TUvi witness ' -Fisher went ou to . state that two ot Hubbnrd ' s shirts were missing—one had been torn up previpu * to the . murder , the other remained to be accounted for . She added , that Hubbard changed his sJi . iri ¦ on : the . morpingiii question , and that the shirt Which he had on ;' when he rose was taken away by Iris mother arid sent to the wash . ' Hubbard ' s mother sent the whole of the linen , bed-clothes , &C . to the wash .

      We forgot to mention that a piece of paper , or card ^ spotted with blood , was found on , or under the bed ; and was . riinv produced with the other articles , A long and rather desultory discussion ensued , whicli Avas ended b y M . r , JErii-: MV saying that he considered , independently of the anonymous letter , nothing had come out w ; Lichteaded to substantiate a charge against Huhbard . Mr . Traii .. —It is plnin the . murder must have been coinniittL-d either by HiibbaTd , or the person who came in with the decwised . Now , at first , a strong s ' n . i p 3 cio ' n attached certainly to Hubbard , and before the Coroner's Jury , who ' -minutely sifted' the case , particular attention was directed . to his case , j ut it was . not fouud . justifia . iile to return a , verdict

      against him . In causequimce of secret information Uubbard was again taken up , and kept in solitary confinement for eight dayjy nnd abundant oppprtuuity lias thus ^ been -given ' to the other person to ci » me forwurd , if innocent , and . ' exculpate . himsel " , which he has not done . The case then stands thus : —two persons are suspected ; as to one of these , a careful iuqnirv took place , and he cannot be criminated ; the othpr does ; not come - forward-: ; therefore the strong suspicion does now attach to that other person . As to any pretence of disincliuvition to come far ' w-nrd , though iti-no ' cunt ' of ' tlv ? -iniirder , on account of the iinpntatiojiwhich the other parts of tlie transaction inight affix to his character , no siiclv -lversonal ' consideration should deter a man from doincr all in his power to .-detect and convict the perpetrator of so dreadful a crime as that of

      murder . ' .

      be 100 , 000 , and m all the Colonies 241 , 000 , more than one-third of the whole Negro population .

" The second part ol ' the Bill provided that " personsbelieving an oath unlawful s ; iotild be admitted to make affirmation in lieu thereof . " To the first part there was no objection raised by a peer : to the second there seemed to be a considerable repugnance .

      THE FACTORY SYSTEM . - The Factory System is . again beginning to arrest the attention of the people , and although upon mo 3 t other questions , we find a sprinkling of the distinguished orders joining in popular agitation , yef on that of the Factories , they bold alooff . Corn L ? yW 8 , Church and State , Slave Emancipation ,, Floggingin the Army , with many other questions , upon which , theoretical and innocent—because inexpensive humanity can be sported , ' —axe topics , upon which the rich—according to their description of

      property—give countenance to agitation . The suffering of the poor negro is a subject worthy the eloquence of our pulpit and platform demagogues , and one which commands the . tears and the sympathies of the fair sex ; but mention tbe twisted limb , the withered pallid countenance , the broken spirit , the suuken eye , the crotching posture , the servile demeanour , aad significantly piteous glance , at the ruthless overseer , of . . the infant white slave ^ and your agitation becomes incendiarism—your justice folly , and vour mercy

      caprice . Yet , notwithstanding the attempts made both by the Government and their roasters , the manufacturers , to uphold the monopoly of moneymongers , possessors of every other description , of property , whether it be . landed , or commercial , are now beginning to find tbat the unrestricted operation of-machinery is gradually abstracting from their profits ; and in spite of their natural aversion to agitation , they will be compelled to join in the " Remonstrance ' . ' of the men of X . tciis and Bradford , to save themselves and their property . Doubtless

      the Spectator , and the Standard , and their new ally the Globe , will see physical force , . threat , menace , and destruction to all our institutions in the rt-montitrancc' ^ tu which we refer j but let ^ ar more judicious readers bear in mind that the object of the present moderate agitation upon the Factory Question , is to iaduee the Government to give effect to » a law of their own composing , and a law too , framed upon the suggestion of their owa Commissioners and by their own Cabinet , but which has been shamefully violated bv tbe

      masters , and the violation illegally winked at by the Inspectors . Let the economists aad financiers recall the words of the state shop-keeper Spring Eice , and they will find , that the deficiency in his last year ' s account- was attributed to the unre stricted " speculation of gamblers . Let the farmer reflect that , however the Corn Laws may protect the monopoly of his master , tbat is capital , his bargain , his labour , ars all amenable to state purposes , while the capital , the -machinery ' , and the labour used by the capitalist , ag far as regards his profits , are altogether untaxed . Let the

      shopkeeper understand , that the unconditional surrender of the working-classes to tbe manufacturers to reduce the price of labour makes working men but poor customers at his counter ; and let the commercial men and traders observe that any thing short of buying and selling , with the day , is unsafe so long as the manufacturers have the ppwer of affecting thejprice of stock , by their command of the labour market . Let the poor hand-loom weaver bear in mind that the unrestricted use of machinery has thrown him completely out of the market , and let those who are yet fortunate enough to be at . work recollect that the said hand-loom weavers

      at all times serve as a , corps of reserve , to be cheaplv purchased by the masters , aud to hold those at . work in submission . But , above all , let the economists reflect upon the worda of Mr . Hume , when he said that "it would be a fortunate circumstance if the . land of : this country was covered with an incrustation of lava . " This will inform , them that the value of the land , which

      ia heavily taxed , is as nothing compared to the value of our productions by machinery , - which is not taxed at all . "Why then allow this monopoly P Simply , because the effect of tbe Eeform Bill h ^ s been to throw power into tbe . hands of ihe possessors of this description of property , and their support of the Government is conditional upon , the Government ' s support oitheir claim to tbe unrestricted use of the labour of the country .

      The London Journals are in error when they suppose that , in the North , all agitation is directed against the New Poor Law Amendment Act . No ; but it is the basis of a tew Constitution ^ and-there fore do we work the battering-rain of discontent against it . Its- provisions are togive effect to the new system of the political economists , ard to thft new religion of the FlTZWILLIi-k infidels ' , and therefore do we denounce it . The auxiliaries to this infernal law are the Factory scheme ^ ' . ' --the Bural Police , and the complete destruction of Trades * Associations which was the last remnant of power

      in the hands , of the working classes ^ and by which supply and demand could be whoiesomely regulatedi If the masters , saw their own interest in a true light , they would encourage , and not assist in suppressing Trades' Asssociations , inasmuch air the ! interest *> f master and man should be identical , and the' discreet portion of such associations seei % and understanding that foot , would ; oblige ;; tb ^ employers to regulate the supply by the demaad :. upon which after all must depend the cwafoij rttf all classes , and the tranquility of the nation . / '

      "We warn the masters , that snwld tbey ^ auSDeet in guppressiDg Trades' A&sociatioaa , we will nait ; one general strike , which will force them int » term 8 j which the people , if fairly dealt witb , vroul 4 not hare demanded .
