THE RULE FOR WRECKING.
THE RULE FOR WRECKING. Ano'her steam-packet, the Queen, running between Bristol and Dublin, has been lost according to rule,—for a rule there really appears to be lor these accidents. A course is unnecessarily steered through some dangerous channel, to save some little distance, and with it, some little coal, the vessel strikes, she is instantly backed off to founder, without any examination of the injury she has teceived. which is indeed sure to make itself know n by the si^n of her sinking; she has not boats to save her passengers and crew, and if tbey escape they owe their escape to accident. This is quite the regular course of things. In the last case, that of the Queen, the vessel when in a nar- row channel was suddenly enveloped in a dense fog; but are not fogs to be expected, especially at this season, and why w a course taken in which the occurrence of a fog, even in calm weather, may be fatal ? The packet should not have been where she was, and when the fog came on she must have been close to the rock on which she stiuck. When the accident happened the vessel was instantly backed off according to custom, as it would appear, lest any time should be lost in sinking. When it was found that she was foundering, it was also found that she had not boats to save her passengers. If she had had the paddle-box boats all would have been safe, but steam-packet proprietors, who will fit up their cabins with mahogany and looking glass and gilt mould- ings, for which no one cares a rush, cannot put themselves to the expense of fitting the paddle-box boats to their vessels for so small and insignificant an object as the safety of their pas- sengers for if the vessel should be lost, what care they for the passengers, who are only good to carry and to take money from. A small vessel of fourteen tons, laden with stone, chanced to be near the sinking Queen, and took off her passengers but the number, sixty, who would all have been comfortably and securely stowed in the large paddle-box boats, were too many for the small craft with her heavy cargo, and almost sank her; and with great care they had to throw some of the fieight over- board to keep the vessel afloat. It was fortunately a calm had their been a breeze, the probability is that all lives would have been lost. r If the Legislature, which meddles so officiously and lnju. nously with so many matters that ought Dot to be regulated by law, wiU obstinateJy refuse to do anything for the better safety ol voyagers, the public must begin to take care of itseH. and people must come to the resolution not to take their pas- sages in packets which shorten their runs by dangerous courses, or which aie unprovided with swimming apparatuses, and above all, with boats of a stowage and build to carry off all the passengers and crew in the event of sbipwreck. or the in a heavy sea. If people once began to insist on these requisites, rival com- panies would soon spring up affording then, and then all would I b* obliged to conform.
FRANCE.
FRANCE. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday; their contents are not important. The official journals of the Government have published no dispatch from Spain, though it is stated that the telegraph was at work during the whole of Sunday. Spanish questions, however, furnish the subject of articled It seems that the promptness and energy with which Narvaez has encountered his difficulties have met the general approval of the French press. The National is the exception, which states that it cannot per- ceive why the conduct that was condemned in Espartero should be tolerated,and even admired in Narvaez. The Lopez Government is severiy censured by the same I journal. SPAIN. The Moniteur has the following dispatch :—" At five o'clock in the morning of the 7th the fort of Montjuich, of which Col.

ARRIVAL OF THE PENINSULAR MAILS. — LOSS OF THE UNITED STATES STEAM FRI. GATE MISSOURI, AT GIBRALTAR BY FIRE. FALMOUTH. SEPT. 9.- The steamer Liverpool, arrived this afternoon with the peninsular mail, and brings intel- ligence that the superb American steam frigate Missouri, which was conveying the Hon. Caleb Cushing, American minister at China to Alexandria, whilst at anchor in Gib- raltar bay, on the 26th ult." was entirely consumed by fire. The fire broke out in the night, and raged with such de- termined fury as to baffle all efforts of the crew, as well as that of the assistance sent from her Majesty's ship Mal- abar, and the garrison. The magazines were flooded soon after the commencement of the fire; and, alhough a great many shells burst, yet, very fortunately, no accident happened to any of the crew. This splendid steamer was 2.000 tons and 600 horse power, and is said to have cost 600,000 dollars. The origin of the fire is reported to be attributable to ne- glect in the engine-room. About 5,000 dollars in specie on board, which, with everything belonging tothevesse) were lost. The Hon. Mr. Cushing intended to proceed from Gibraltar in the Oriental. The dates by the Liver- pool are—Gibraltar, Aug. 31 Cadiz, Sept. 1 Lisbon, Sept. 4 Oporto, Sept. 5 Vigo, Sept. 6. Passengers: From Gibraltar-Lieu. Winslow, late of the Missouri, with dispatches for the American government; Messrs Belgrave, Slaughter, Dalton (late of the Lizard), and twenty-five seamen. From Cadiz—Messrs.

IRELAND. .
IRELAND. REPEAL OF THE UNION. Mr, O'Connell has just published a letter, postponing for the present, a promised visit to Macroom wherein he as- signs the following reason for the postponement:— I have first to arrange the plan for the restoration of the Irish House of Commons, and to arrange that plan in as perfect a shape as possible, so as, in fact, to be compe- tent to be carried into effect the moment the Irish parli- ment is renewed,either by act of the legislature, or by the exercise of the prerogative of the Crown. You have seen that plan in its general outlines: we are now working out its details, by ascertaining in each instance the constitu- ency in each locality to whom her Majesty's writs of elec- tion may be duly directed; All these details must be perfect before we can proceed farther. So soon as the basis is thus laid for the renewal of the Irish House of Commons, my intention is to propose and cany out another and a distinct, though in its nature a temporary plan-I mean that of constituting a seperate society to be called the" Preservative Association of three hundred Irishmen, with a view to work out, by legal means, the restoration of the parliament, so that the Queen may be at liberty to issue the writs to the ascertained new constituencies without unnecessary delay. "You may be certain that I will takeeare not to bring the Preservative Association within the restrictive provis- ions of the convention act, or any other penal enactment. Nor am I to connect it with my projected parliamentary system. You perceive the delicacy and difficulty of every arrangement. I have to prevent any violation of the law. I have to conciliate enemies, or at least to do everything which ought to conciliate them. I have to satisfy the honest judgement ofehonest friends. In short the working out of both plans—tfiat of forming a due constituency, to be ready to act immediately after the repeal," and that of forming a seperate association—the Preservative Asso- ciation—to assist in carrying triumphantly" the repeal" Lord CARDIGAN AGAIN.—In military circles there is much conversation respecting a new affair in which Lord Cardigan has become embroiled with a captain of his regiment. The officer was, it is slated, placed under ar- I rest under Tery unwarrantable circumstances; and the matter was referred to rhe chief military authority here. The result, I am told, was the immediate and unconditional release of the officer, and a communication to Lord Car- digan, the contents 01 which have not yet been allowed to transpire.—Dublin Paper. CAMPAIGNING IN IRELAND,—The lavish, and often inconsiderate hospitality of regimental messes, has been most opportunely restricted, at present, by an order from the commander of the forces, requesting the usual invita- tions to regiments and detachments passing through garri- son towns, and other stations in Letand, should not be observed. One regiment had lately to entertain twenty- six detachments, including head quarter divisions, the mess bills tor which have been almost ruinous to some of the youngsters not over burdened with worldly gear.—ii»j- erick Chromcle.

DOMESTIC NEWS. SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIBENT.—A melancholy and fearful occurrence arising from the dangerous practice of blasting rocks with gunpowder near public roads, took place near Mitcheldean on Saturday last. Two children were standing near their father, a man named Teague, and about 100 yards from a rock which some men were blas- ting, when a piece of stone, about 41bs weight, flew close by the old mans face, and struck his daughter, Ellen Teagup> a 1 e gir eight years of age, with so much vio- lence on e ack of the head, as to make a large hole, Ihrough whtch the blood and brains gushed forth, and kil- led the poor little creature on the spot. At an inquest which was subsequently held on the body before John Cooke, Esq., coroner, a verdict of accidental death was relurned, and the jury expressed a strong opinion against the dangerous practice of blasting which had caused the untimely death of the deceased. TOLLS. There are six toll-gates between Exeter, and Beam Bridge (21 miles), at all of which toll is payable. A farmer cannot travel from a little the other side of Col- lumpton (twelve miles) without having to pay four tolls.

Among the other gentlemen present were Alderman Brooks, Mr. R. R. R. Moore, the Rev. J. W. Massie, the Rev. Franklin Howorth, and many of the leading merchants and manu- facturers of Bury. THE IRON TRADE.—A few days ago an extensive sale of iron took place at the Horsely Iron Works, which was attended by the principal ironmasters of Staffofdshire,and several large iron dealers from various parts of the country. e catalogue contained no less than 1,500 lots. The commonest pig-iron fetched £2 12s. per ton, short weight on the bank; and cold blast pig iron was sold for £ 3, s ort weight- One ironmaster bought 250 tons of com- mon cast-iron scrap, at £2 8s. short weight.

EXAMINATION OF*WITNESSES AT…
EXAMINATION OF*WITNESSES AT THE TOWN-HALL, SWANSEA. On Monday, the following magistrates were on the Bench io -the The Right Hon. Lord James Stuart, MP, Chairman. J. H. Vivian, Esq, MP. Colonel Cameron, Rev. W. Hewson, DD. T. E. Thcmas, Esq, — Samuel Davies, J- O. Berrington, Esq, Colonel Jones, Henry Lewis, Esq. Mr Llewellyn and Mr Dillwyn were present, but took no part in the proceedings. The prisoners having been brought forward, the following evidence was given:— Mr William Cox, governor of (he House of Correction, at Swansea, sworn: The prisoners John Ktfghes, David Jones, and John Hugh, were delivered into my custody on Thursday morning last. It is customary to search prisoners when oroaght into the House of Correction, consequently I searched the pri- soners present, commencing with John Hughes, who is wounded in the arm. A quantity of coarse gunpowder fell from his clothes to the ground as I took them off. I gathered it together and produce it now. I then searched his pockets, and found a quantity of silver and other money-ten half crowns, twenty- four shillings, nine sixpences, one penny, four halfpence, and a half sovereign. I also found a piece of paper with something written upon it in Welsh, a piece of an old Welsh hymn-book, twenty-one copper percussion caps, and a little bag. I next searched the man wounded in the head, David Jones, and found a knife in his pocket. I did not search John Hugh, but I be- lieve he had 8d and a knife. The following is a correct translation of the writing on the paper taken from Hughes Daniel Jones, Brynhir,-Come with your armour (or co. vering) to Lanbystia, to assist us, on Wednesday night next, or else you shall not have another (or further) notice. "BECCA." PC Thomas Jones examined: I live at Ystalyfera, in the parish of Llanguicke. I accompanied Captain Napier and others of the police force of this county, to Pontardulais, on the night of Wednesday last. We arrived at Pontardulais be. tween the hours of twelve and one, and proceeded to the turn- pike gite. When we arrived there we saw a man on horseback, on the Swansea side of the turnpike gate. There was a great crowd of people upon the other side of the gate, most of whom were on horseback. They were dressed with white sheets over their bodies, their faees were blackened, aBd upon their heads they had straw hats. In the hats were stuck pieces of fern. I ran on, and took hold of a gun from a man on horseback, but the man escaped. A great many guns were fired before we reached the gate. On the following morning I delivered that gun to Sergt. Jenkins. It was then in the same state as when I took it from the man. Mr Hugh Williams May I be allowed to ask the witness a question or two ? The Chairman The magistrates have decided that no at- torney, who may be present, shall be allowed to ask any ques- tions. Mr H. Williams Would your worships allow me to suggest any questions which may afterwards be put to the witnesses through the medium of the court ? Mr T. Edward Thomas Would not that be a cross-exa- mination ? The Chairman The magistrates' decision is against it. Col. Cameron The solicitor for the Crown it here, and as he does not ask any questions, I do not see why you should be allowed to ask any. Mr Superintendent Peake produced a quantity of arms, im- plements, ammunition, female apparel, &c, which were taken at the scene of the outrage. One of the articles produced was a woman s cap, which was given to him by the prisoner Jones. PC Peter Wright examined, proved that he was on duty at the Pontardulais gate riot, where he saw the prisoner J. Hugh discharge a gun at the police. He afterwards fell off his horse, and ran away, taking his horse with him. Prisoner threw his gun down, when he came off his horse, and the witness picked it up. PC William Robertson Williams examined, stated that he was on duty at the riot, where the prisoner David Jones struck him a violent blow on his shoulder. Witness, being injured in the leg, went into the toll house, while the police were dis- persing the rioters, and there saw a man with David Jones, the latter flourishing a bar, with which he again siruck witness on the shoulder. Witness struck him a blow with his cutlass, on which he dropped the iron bar and ran out and was taken by Sergeant Jones. PC John Price, examined, stated that in the affray at Pon- tardulais gate he saw a man on horseback this side of the gate, and a large mob. Witness took John Hugh off a horse in front of the mob, with a while cioak over his body, a white cloth over his hat, and a red handkerchief round his neck-he had a gun in his hand. which he fired at the police-he bad also a tin horn. Witness gave him and Hughes into the custody of Sergt. Jenkins. William Abraham Lewis, toll collector at Pontardulais, ex- amined I am a shoemaker, and have been collector at Pontar- dulais gate for upwards of a twelvemonth. On Wednesday night, between ten and eleven, I moved my goods out of the house, because people told me Becca was coming there. Alter I moved my goods I stopped there, and between twelve and one I saw a party of men coming down over the bridge, most of them being on horseback. 1 instantly hid myself in the fields behind the house. While the crowd was opposite the Inn, I heard some shots fired. In about three quarters of an hour, I went back to the toll house, and found the doors and windows broken, part of the pine end wall demolished, and the gate in pieces-the posts were standing. Police Sergeant George Jones stated that in the attack upon Pontardulais gate, where the rioters were firing guns and blow- ing horns, he pursued and captured Jones, while running out of the toll house. The Chairman here addressed Dr Bird, and requested him to enquire into the state of the wounded prisoners, with the view of ascertaining whethet they were in a fit state to remain any longer in court. Dr Bird having examined the prisoners, made some commu. nication to the magistrates, after which The Chairman stated that the further examination of the case would be adjourned to Tuesday. The prisoners were then removed from the bar, to the House of Correction. The four prisoners taken by Mr Chambers and the mililary in Carmarthenshire, on Thursday morning, were then placed at the bar. Three of them were mere boy II-one apparently only thirteen years of age, and the fourth seemed a young man of the a^e of five-and-twenty. The followiug evidence was pio- dured William Chambers, jun, Esq, examined I am one of her Majesty's justices of the peace for the county of Carmarthen. In consequence of information I received, 1 proceeded on the night of Wednesday last to Pontardulais, accompanied by a party of soldiers under Captain Scott. We set out from Llano elly between ten and eleven o'clock-Llanelly is distant fiom Ponlardulais six or seven miles. On the way, I saw a rocket explode in the air, in a direction between J ,Ianedy and Lla- non. On arriving at Gwilly Bridge, which is about hall a mile distant from Pontardulais, I heard some horns sounded. There was one particular note which I noticed, which was repeated several times. Immediately after I beard the last note, I heard the report of fire arms in the direction of Pon- tardulais bridge, upon which I requested Captain Scott to load. I then advanced to Gwilly bridge, and having arrived there, I was in advance of the men, and saw the prisoner Lewis Davies come in from Pontardulais, over the railway, lowards the place where I was. I immediately followed and saw him put something which he had in his left hand either under his coat, or into his pocket. I put my hand there, and pulled from under his coat, or out of his pocket, a wo- man's cap. He was dressed in his usual clothes. The bot- tom part of his face appeared to be blackened. I asked him where he had been, and he. said, I'll be quiet-I'll come with you." He was then given in charge to Sergt. Gibb. Up to this time I had heard the discharge of about forty or fifty shots within about seven minutes. I then went with the rest of the soldiers in the direction of the road leading lowards the Hendy bridge, imagining that an attack was to be made on the gate. When 1 arrived at the gate, I heard the galloping of horses, and f immediately concluded that the Dragoons were approaching from Swansea. About the same time 1 heard persons approaching from Hendy bridge towards Pontardulais, and the prisoner William Hughes was taken shortly afterwards. He was dressed in woman's clothes,—a straw bonnet on his head, and his face blackened. I went on to Pontardulais, accompanied by Captain Scott and some of his soldiers. Upon arriving at the bridge, the Dragoons gallopei on, and I thought were going to charge us, but on perceiving who we were, they desisted. I proceeded to the gate-found the gate destroyed-the internal partitions of the toll house destroyed—and the windows smashed in. I saw three men there in custody. On my way back to Llanelly, the prisoner, William Hughes, told me he had a horn, and he would show me where it was. I went with him to a cer- tain spot, and there found a horn, close to the spot where he was taken. Seigeaut Henry Gibbs, of the 73rd regiment, examined I was on duty on the night of Wednesday last, between Pontar- dulais and Llanelly. I was stationed on the railway near the Gwilly bridge. Whilst we were there I heard some men com- ing along the railway I stopped them. I see them here now. They are the prisonets, Henry Rogers and Thomas Williams. They were not disguised at all or armed. They seemed to be very much frightened because I brought the bayonet down as if I was going io run it through them, and told them lo slop. 1 told them I would let them go if they would tell me where others were gone to. They said they had nothing to do with the gate, but merely went out to see. The two prisoners taken by Seigeant Gibbs were discharged the others (having been disguised when taken), were temanded 'it) Tuesday morning. The Court rose at six o'clock, having sat six hours. _———— At the rising of the Court, on Monday evening, Mr. Hugh Williams requested the Magistrates to liberate the prisoners upon finding bail. The Chairman said the Magistrates would give no reply to the request until the close of the examination on Tuesday. A conversation then ensued between the Chairman and Mr. Hugh Williams, duiing which he (Mr. Williams), made use of certain expressions with regard to the management of the examination by Mr. Attwood, which gave offence lo the bench whereupon the Chairman said he was requested by his brother Magistrates to state that they were perfectly satisfied with Mr. Attwood's manner of conducting the inquiry, and did not ap- prove of certain words used by Mr. Williams, with reference to Mr. Attwood. Mr. Williams explained that he merely wished to state that the questions put by Mr. Attwood were leading questions, and as such, improper. With that single exception, he was highly pleaded with Mr. Attwood's manner of conducting the case. A warm and animated conversation then easued between Colonel Cameron and Mr. Hugh William*, during which tht Chairman and Magistrates left the Hall.

At eleven o'clock the Hall was crowded by persons, whom had evidently travelled a considerable distance, for lilt purpose, of being present at the adjourned examination* The following Magistrates took their seats upon the Bench Losn JAMES STUIBT, M.P., Chair«wn» J.

The prisoners severally replied—" I have nothing to I" now." Mr. Attwood then informed them that there was a secon^ charge against them-namely, a charge against John HugheL of having feloniously, unlawfully, and with malice tforethoug" committed an assault upon Captain Napier, with intent to kll. and murder him; and the prisoners David Jones and Joba Hugh were charged with aiding and abetting John Hughes. The prisoners severally said—"I have nothing to say the trial." The prisoners, William Hughes and Lewis Davies, were iD' formed that they stood charged with having unlawfully thro" down a turnpike gate-to which they replied that they had DO thing to say. The Chairman then addressed the prisoners as follows John Hughes, David Jones, John Hugh, William Hughes, and Lewis Davies, I have now to inform you that you are cof mitted for trial at the first Assizes held for this county." On the application of Mr. Hugh Williams, William flughoc and Lewis Davies, were admitted to bail.
