ROYAL CORNWALL GAZBTTfe, FRIDAY. JUNE 28, 1850. The mischief is me mure iiieiuuwuie, in mat xne present ministers themselves have had full experience of the evils of the course they have taken. When they returned to office in 1835, thoy would not etore Lord Brougham to the Woolsack, and they feared to offend him by appointing another.

There mtjff applicants foi the situation. one Teetotal Festivity- Tuesday last was a gay day for the Liskeard Teetotal Society. Remembering the old savin? that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," the teetotallers and their friends determined before the fine weather passed away to have a day's enjoyment on the Moore. Mustering above 25o' they started from Moorswater on Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock for the Cheesewring, in 7 carriages belonging to the Liskeard and Caradon Railway Company. The carriages were drawn by 17 horses, and divided into 1st and 2nd classes, each carriage having suspended on its exterior flagsinscribed with appropriate mottoes.

The spectators assembled to witness the departure of the train made merry at the expense of the costume of some of the passengers arid at the turn-out generally. There seemed to bean impression that there would be racing betwixt the conductors of the carriages on their return, and that they would have a scode, as one bystander remarked. The prediction, happily however, was not verified. Numerous other parties from the neighboring parishes, on foot and in gigs and carts, also proceeded to the same destination, so that there could not have been altogether less than from 2,000 to 3,000 persons assembled therein the course of the day. The weather was beautiful the sun shone brightly, and a pleasant breeze played constantly over the moors.

The day was spent in inspecting the curiosities for which the neighborhood is so celebrated. The South and West Caradon mines, the Hurlers, Sharp-tor, Kilmar rocks, engaged the attention of the viewing the Cheese-wring, the especial object of their journey. The fat ter, to quote Carew, "is a heap of rocks, which presse one of a lesse size fashioned like a cheese, and therethrough termed Wringcheese." This pile of rocks, upwards of 30 feet high, is composed of 8 stones placed one above another, the largest being uppermost. Another curiosity there is, or rather was, Daniel Gumb's house. We were exceedingly pained to find that this interesting relic has been nearly destroyed.

The stone bearing the initials D.G. and the date 1745 we could not find anywhere. We suppose it has been converted into ready cash by some granite-hearted speculator. Where there are so many masses of stone lying scattered everywhere around, and a quarry in work adjoining, we think such an old relic might well have been spared. The quarry is carried on by the Cheesewring Granite Company, and is now fully occupied in producing large blocks which are conveyed to Liskeard and used in building of a new East Cornwall Bank.

The visitors in gigs, from Liskeard, in addition to the sights already mentioned, had the advantage of passing close by the Trethevy Cromlech, one of the greatest of Cornish antiquities. The heat was so intense that many taking advantage of the demand for "the cup which cheers but not inebriates" realized a handsome sum in dispensing water at a penny a pint. A quantity of beer and other liquors was also disposed of, notwithstanding the emblem inscribed on one of the banners to beware of the cup of strong drink," and more than one individual was fuddled. On the whole, however, the day passed off very pleasantly and after the departure of the railway train at 7 o'clock, the immense concourse of people gradually dispersed. Wadebridgb Fair.

At the fair held here on Monday, the 24th the supply of cattle was rather larger than usual. Fat beef fetched from 42s. to 45s. per cwt. and mutton about 3d.

per lb. Death through Drunkenness. On Monday, an accident occurred on the River Tamar, off Calstock, through whieh one man lost his life and another had a narrow escape. A Plymouth waterman, named Charles Cowley, had, on the previous day, taken a fare, Mr. John Elliott, to Calstock, and instead of returning to their homes, they determined to have a spree" as they called it, and they remained in some of the public houses drinking and on Monday, thinking it time to return, they rambled down to their boat, got in, pushed off, and in a few minutes afterwards, the boat was observed to have upset.

People immediately went out in the hopes of rescuing the men from their perilous situation. Elliott was picked up and taken on shore, but Cowley had sunk, and his body has not yet been recovered. It is supposed that in their besotted and unsteady efforts to manage the boat, they must have capsized her. It is to be hoped that other men of this class will take warning by this disastrous circumstance, and avoid the cause of the accident intemperance. Cowley is a brother to the Robert Cowl w'ho for some years has made himself so notorious as a drunkard in Plymouth, and in the gaol of which he is, we believe, at present an inmate, and where he has been, except for brief intervals, for some years past.

We have heard that while within the walls of the prison, poor Bob is a quiet, civil, and useful fellow. Births. At Gerrans, on the 19th the wife of Mr. John Merifield, mariner, chief mate of the Acastor, of Falmouth, of a son. At Redruth, on the 22nd the wife of the Rev.

William Thomas, Wesleyan minister, of a son. At Newquay, on the 22nd the wife of Mr. John Cross, of a son. At Tregony, on the 28th the wife of Mr. Charles Beard, of a son.

Also on the 1st the wife of Mr. Wm. Jacob, painter, of a daughter. And on Monday, the 3rd, the wife of Mr. Henry Dennis, of a son.

At Newlyn, on the 13th the wife of Mr. Wm. May, of a daughter dso, on the 16th, the wife of Mr. Wm. Argall, of a daughter.

At Redruth, on Thursday last, Mrs. William Terrill, of a son. having attended Penzance market, went into an eating-house at Causewayhead for the purpose of having refreshment, and ordered some beef, which, being placed before him, hebegan to partake of. Shortly afterwards a strange noise was heard by the proprietor of the house, who discovered that the old man was choked, and black in the face. Mr.

Harvey, surgeon, was immediately fetched, and by dint of perseverance and the use of an in extracting from his throat a piece of beef about 2J ounces in weight Mr. Berry man was apparently dead, and quite black but after some time, by blowing in his nostrils and using other remedies, he was restored, and in a couple of boars appeared quite recovered. Love and Suicide. About nine o'clock on Monday morning, last, the body of a young man was discovered in about two feet of water, in the basin of the New Pier, Penzance, by Mr. W.

Colenso, while there. On discovering the body, Mr. Colenso, having some brandy with him, being accustomed to take a small quantity of that beverage on shrimping excursions, endeavoured to administer a little to the drowned man, in the praiseworthy expectation that it might be the means of resusci-tating him, but without the desired effect, the vital spark having fled. Assistance was procured, and the body conveyed to the Lorn-Exchange, where, in the course of the day, some hundreds of persons repaired with the view of identifying the deceased but being a stranger, as was subsequently proved, tho body was not recognised till about four o'clock, when it was ascertained to be that of Mr. Thomas Lenderyou, a young man about 21 years of age, a butcher residing at Helston.

It appears that the deceased came to Penzance on Sunday, accompanied by some friends, it is said for the purpose of seeing a young woman to whom he had been paying bis addresses and that in an interview with her, she turned her back upon him," which so preyed upon his mind as to lead to the melancholy result of suicide bv drowning. Some seamen belonging to a vessel lying in the New Pier state that about two o'clock on Monday morning, they heard a splash inthewatera short distance from their ship, and immediately put off in their boat, but could see nor hear nothing of the cause. In the evening about five o'clock, John Roscoria, coroner, held an inquest on the body at the Guildhall, when the following evidence was adduced Emma Rowe, of Penzance, said I have known the deceased, Thomas Lenderyou, for several years. He resided in Helston, and was a butcher. Yesterday morning I went to Long Rock, about half-way between Penzance and Marazion, to meet my brother, William Rowe.

Wlien I got there, I met him, the deceased, and John Uren, in a gig. Uren alighted, and I took his place in the gig, and rode into Penzance. We to my brother's, Peter Rowe, where we remained till the evening. When my brother Wilham left to return to Helston, he asked tle deceased if he would go with him To which he replied, No I shall remain-till Tuesday." About nine o'clock I parted with tho deceased at the bottom of Chapel-street. My brother Peter and my sister Elizabeth were with meat the time.

The deceased made no excuse for leaving us, and merely said good night." About an hour before the deceased left us, he said he had seen Mary Jane (meaning Maiy Jane Jose), and that she drew back from him but he did not appear to feel from, or take notice of it. The deceased appeared clear and collected at the time, and I have not seen him since. He was perfectly sober. William Colenso deposed as follows This morning about 9 o'clock, I went into the harbor within the northern arm of the pier for the purpose of shrimping. Whilst discovered the body of deceased, in about two feet of water.

He was fully dressed, and there did not appear to be any marks of violence on his person. I called assistance, and used some means for restoring life but on a closer examination of the body, I was satisfied the deceased had been dead some time. James Phillips, police officer, said About a quarter after nine this morning, I went upon the New Pier, where I saw the body of deceased, which I accompanied to the Corn Market, where it was examined by Mr. Millett, surgeon. In the pockets were 2s.

a knife, a silk pocket-handkerchief, and some other articl of trifling value. Mary Jane Jose was also called, and appeared to be considerably affected. Her evidence went to corroborate a portion of the foregoing. The Coroner having addressed the jury, they returned a verdict of found drowned." St. Buryan.

On Friday last, the children of the St. Buryan Church Sunday School were assembled for their annual examination. After having heard prayers in the church, they were examined on the parables of our Lord, being the subject of the past year's special lessons, after which they were very suitably addressed by the Rev. Mr. Fair, who invited the children, teachers, and friends to his residence at Boskenna, where a bountiful supply of cako, tea, coffee, and ol her good things was supplied.

After an hour or two of amusements, a liberal distribution of prizes was made to the most deserving children. Nor were the teachers forgotten by their clergyman, who as on previous occasions, gave to each a token of his regard. It was very pleasing to observe the steady and quiet progress of tho children, amidst many storms, in this remote parish. May the good work commend itself to Him, who is able under every trial to sustain it, so that the efforts of His servants may not be vain. Helston.

Serious Accident. On Tuesday last, Mr. John Tyacke, of Merthen, was returning from Helston, in his gig, about 9 o'clock in the evening, and a little past Nansloe Lodge, the gig came in contact with Mr. Ellis's brewery waggon, which was returning from the South, with empty casks. The concussion was so great that Mr, Tyacke was thrown completely out of the gig, and was taken up several yards beyond the horse.

The result of the accident was a very severe concussion of the brain. Mr. Tyacke was immediately taken back to Helston, and lodged at the house of Mr. Wearne, surgeon. His life was at first despaired of, but we are glad to hear that.

by judicious treatment, he is likely to recover. The crops in the locality of Helston are looking remarkably fine, and bid fair for a beautiful harvest. Not the least disease can yet be seen in the potato crop. Helston Petty Sessions. At the Petty Sessions held for this borough on the 8th before M.

P. Moyle, mayor, Glynn Grylls, John Kendall, and William Penberthy, magistrates James Paull and Luke Banfield were respectively fined 5. for assaulting Mr. Geach of the White Hart inn in this borough, and in default of immediate payment were sentenced to two months imprisonment. The said James Paull and Luke Banfield and also James Ban-field, John Halls, John Toy, John Cook, John Knee-bone, William Halls, John Lanyon, and John Bawden, all of this borough, were respectively fined 21.

and 10s. costs for assaulting Edward Mitchell, the hostler of Mr. Geach, and in default of immediate payment were sentenced to two months imprisonment, which last term of imprisonment of the said James Paull and Luke Banfield is to commence and take effect on the expiration of the said term of two months for the assault on Mr. Geach. It appeared from the evidence that the defendants had a grudge against the hostler Mitchell, and that they had entered the back door of Mr.

Geach's inn yard about two o'clock of the morning of Sunday the 2nd instant, where they found Mitchell aud commenced beating him, and Mr. Geach and others who went to bis assistance were also severely beaten. Helford. The Helford river regatta took place on Monday last. There were several yachts in the river, and a large attendance of visitors.

The wind proved rather light for the sailing boats, but the matches for rowing boats were well contested, and generally the regatta passed off well. At night there was an exhibition of fire-works. St. Ives. On Wednesday afternoon, we were virited by a heavy shower of rain, attended with vivid lightning and tremendous peals of thunder, which continued for two hours and a quarter, when it entirely subsided.

During the whole time it was nearly calm. Hayle. On Wednesday afternoon, we were visited with vivid lightning accompanied with tremendous thunder, but no damage was done in this place or its vicinity, as the heavy rain is supposed to have counteracted the effects of the electric fluid. About a fortnight since, the schooner Hope, of St. Ives, Quick master, on her passage to Wales, passed a copper bottomed vessel with her bottom upwards, between Hartland Point and Lundy, laden with casks of Cognac brandy, varying from 20 to 30 gallons in each cask, with the casks marked J.

Henessy, Cognac. A smack, named the Britannia, Williams master, from Ilfracombe for Hayle, picked up a cask, containing 30 gallons, to the West of Lundy, part of the same cargo, which was deposited in the custom-house on her arrival. Several casks have been taken to St. Ives custom-house, which it is supposed belonged to the same cargo, and several casks have been picked up at various places along shore, and all ascertained to be part of the cargo. St.

Austell. On Tuesday last, Mr. Dawson and family gave a soiree at the Town-hall. The performers acquitted themselves with their well-known ability, but we are sorry that the audience was but small. Church Missionary Society.

On Sunday last, two excellent sermons were preached in St. Austell Church, morning and evening, on behalf of the above society, by the Rev. William Hoskin, B.A., who some years since laboured here as curate of the parish. Collections were made at the close of each service, which amounted to upwards of 9. St.

Ewe. On Friday last, the children of the National School, 1 14 in number, were sumptuously regaled with cake aud tea, on the grounds of J. II. Tremayne, of Heligan. The eveniug was very pleasantly spent in games, as racing for money, foot-balls, cricket, The children, one and all, seemed to enjoy and appreciate the liberality of the worthy squire whose chief delight it is to make the poor happy.

The enjoyment of ihe day was closed by the children lifting their happy voices in the harmonious strains of God save the Queen." Among the gentry present we noticed the following Mr. Tremayne, Mrs. Tremayne, Miss Tremayne, Sir Anthony Buller, the Misses Buller, of Pound, Miss Rodd, the Rev. J. T.

Boscawen, Rev. J. T. Trevenen, and Mrs. Trevenen.

the question of the liability of the gentlemen who were induced to form themselves into IqcbI committer 6. the fewasofcJWmouth, Penryn, HelslaWt Vssl neetion with this scheme, was decided "byie Master, Sir Georn Rose, on Saturday and Monday. The scheme was started dui-ing the bubble railway mania of 1845. At the end of October in that year, Mr. Thomas Harvey came down from London to these western towns, with the information that a company had been formed to carry a railroad from Reipyn through the eranite district of Mabe and Constantino to Helston, and through the mining district beyond that town to Marazion and Penzance the length, from Penryn town quay to the terminus at New Pier Penzance, being 24 miles.

An influential Provisional Committee had been formed, and ample funds were already secured so that nothing was required from the towns interested in the line but such a manifestation of local approval as would smooth the progress of the Bill through Parliament. On these representations, public meetings were held at Helston, Falmouth and Penryn, on the 27th, 28th, and 29th of October, and subsequently at Penzance, at which committees were appointed as they considered, to protect the interests of their respective towns and promote the objects of the proposed Railway, in as far as it would serve those interests. The names of these parties were annexed in the subsequent advertisements to the General Provisional Committee, but specially distinguished as Provisional Committees for their respective towns. The General Provisional Committee contained 32 names, most of them distinguished as 1 directors' in the various railway bubbles of the day. Ail except 7 were on the Provisional Committee of another sehemo to which Harvey's name appeared as solicitor, the Great Western and Falmouth Junction," and the only reference for shares HPlioth schemes was to his office in London.

The bubble having buret, and the herd of -stage scattered abroad, the members of these local Provisional Committees were proceeded against for expenses, notwithstanding the original assurance that they should incur no liability, but they defended the actions successfully, except that one or two compromised. Ultimately, after the lapse of nearly five years, proceedings being taken under the Winding-up Act, it was now attempted to fix them as contributors The case of these parties came on on Saturday at the Master's Chamber. The case of Mr. Clarke of Falmouth was first taken, and having been partially gone into before, was soon closed, and his name shuck off. Mr.

Teague of Penryn was next taken, and the enquiry occupied 3 hours, In the course of which the Master elicited that the principal claimants were the self-appointed officers and promoters of the scheme. After a desperate effort of the counsel to fix Mr. Teague, Sir George Rose ably summed up, distinguishing between the position and liabilities of a local and a local managing provisional committee, and animadverting severely on some of the disclosures and admissions which had been made. He ordered Mr. Teague's name to be struck off, and as it had been declared by plaintifPs counsel that the other cases should be governed by this, the enquiry, so far athey were concerned, was supposed to be at an end.

But the Counsel having proposed to appeal upon Mr. Teague's case to the Lord Chancellor, the other cases to abide the issue, the proposal was rejected, and the others attended on Monday, after much discussion all were struck except the HfiJsfcm gentlemen. Their case was then stated at oy' Mr. Rogers, when the master declared there was nothing in their case differing from the and ordered them to be struck off also. It appeared on production of the books that there had been no meeting, or minutes of proceedings, till January 6th, 1846, and no appointment of officers anywhere.

Penryn. National School Society. In obedience to Her Majesty's commands through the Lord Bishop of Exeter, a sermon was preached at St. Gluvias Church on last Sunday morning by the Rev. J.

Tucker, Incumbent of Lanarth, and a collection made in aid of the above society, amounting to 51. 3s. 4d. Cricketing. On Tuesday last, the second game in a match between the Cornish Cricket Club and the Liskeard Club was played on the ground of the C.

C. C. at Truro. In the first game, played last year at Bodmin, the C. C.C.

was winner but, on the present occasion, as will be seen by the subjoined score, the Liskeard Club carried off the palm of victory. In the course of the day some very excellent play was exhibited on both sides, and without a single mishap or untoward incident to mar the enjoyment of this noble sport. The weather ws remarkably fine excessively hot indeed in the town, but with an inspiriting breeze in the field situated on the high ground near the Chapi-1-hill Turnpike-gate. Throughout the day there was a large concourse of spectators, who seemed greatly to enjoy the animation and excitement of their holiday. The play, which commenced at 11 o'clock, was not concluded till nearly 6, when upwards of 40 members of the two dabs adjourned to the Red Lion Hotel, and there did ample justice to an excellent dinner.

H. Jenner, Esq. presided. The vice-president was Mr. H.

Jennings, the secretary of the C. C. C. The utmost good feeling prevailed between the friendly combatants and the evening passed very agreeably but the party broke up early, as the members of the Liskeard Club had to ride between 30 and 40 miles to their homes. The deciding game in the match will be played at Liskeard probably in the latter part of July or the beginning of August.

Truro Police. On Thu slay last week, John Tonkin, of Chacewater, was fined one shilling and 20s. costs for assaulting Susan Teague on the preceding day. On the 22nd instant, William Woolcock, the younger, was committed for trial at the Quarter Sessions, charged with stealing on the 19th of May, out of the schooner William, at the port bf Truro, two cotton shirts, a woollen scarf and numerous other articles of clothing, the property of Thomas Tinney, of sailor. The vessel was left on Whitsunday with no one of herwew on board.

In the after- hpoon, the accused was seen on board, and on the return of the crew subsequently, mey uiscovereu mat me vuutu uau oeen broken open, and that some bread -and ham and the articles of clothing referred to had been stolen. About two or three days after the robbery, the scarf was sold by the prisoner to a young man called Rossi ter. On the 20th, Paul Quick, a labourer, living in Kenwyn-street, was charged with having ill treated his wife. He was remanded, pending the result of his wife's illness, her doctor certifying that she was in a dangerous state. On the 24th, William Henry James was fined one shilling and 19s.

6d. costs, for assaulting William Hare, police-officer, in the execution of his duty, on the 12th instant. Newlyn in Pydar. The hay harvest in this neighbourhood has commenced, and under the late delightful state of the weather, has been proceeded with considerably, though the crops of grass are, it is said, below the average of former years. The potato crop looks healthy, and bids fair to yield a good supply.

The corn crops also, appear promising, but it is generally considered that the harvest will be a late one. Chacewater. On Wednesday afternoon, this place was visited with a terrific thunder-storm, which continued for about two hours. Chacewater Cattle Insurance Society. The third annual exhibition of this society was held on Monday, when nearly 300 cows and heifers were brought to be re-valued.

The gentlemen selected for this purpqse were Mr. James Thomas, of Higher Calenick, and Mr. John Moyle, and Mr. Woodley, of Chacewater, who expressed themselves as being highly pleased with the very creditable show of dairy stock exhibited. Several cattle exchanged hands; and at 8 o'clock, about 150 members, with the valuers and friends of the society, dined at the King's Head, Royal Oak, and Crown Inns.

Penzance. Wednesday Evening. Flags are displayed across the street here, in consequence of the decision being favorable to several parties of this town, in connexion with the Penzance, Helston, and Falmouth Railway, they being released from any responsibility.

The recollection of the evils then experienced ought to prevented Ministers from repeating them. Some time ill probably elapse before the contemplated ar-BDemeiits can be carried out, even if they should be sanction' -d by Parliament, which is by no means certain.

Bat however soon they may be completed, serious inconvenience has been inflicted already in throwing various important which would otherwise be decided next mouth, over to another year. The Builder has a statement respecting the erections inline Pari for the proposed Exhibition of next year, if unexplained, is calculated to introduce into the question a new and most damaging element of distrust, jt when the Commissioners sought plans for their monster building, or rather, as the result has shown, tints from which they might form a plan of their own, were most precise in laying down the character of tb sketches required, which were absolutely forbidden tJ be other than of the most simple character, as might be sketched on a sheet of paper: ud honorary rewards were held out to those vlio should offer the most valuable suggestions. The English competitors, according to the express ad-peson of the Commissioners, in their report, strictly the conditions imposed, and high praise is be-soived for the simplicity and excellence of their plans, uwl thfir appropriateness for the temporary erection required. On the other hand, it is declared that the plans icat in by foreigners were elaborate in preparation and fiawh, contrary to the conditions laid down, and much more adapted for permanent structures than for an arrangement of temporary ornamental sheds. Yet, out of 193 English competitors, only three were selected by the Commissioners for reward, while among 38 foreigners, whom the Commissioners in their Report designate as our Ulustrious Continental neighbours," no less than wfteex prizes were distributed.

An additional evidence of partiality and unfairness is shewn in the fact, that pirns from wh'ch material hints were borrowed by the ominissiouers for their building were not only unrewarded, but passed over unnoticed. These tacts will be received as conclusive evidence of a disposition to sacrifice British interests and credit to Foreign pretensions, and are likely to convert indifference into positive hostility. The feeling of the Country has long been decidedly unfavourable to the scheme, of which the scanty amount of subscriptions, notwithstanding the powerful influence and strenuous exertions employed, is a sufficient proof. Still, very few persons would throw cold water upon the proposal, out of respect for the illustrious originator. But if a disposition is shewn to sacrifice British interests and even British character to Continental objects, and the circumstances exposed by the Builder certainly shew such a feeling, it will become a duty to oilier the most active discouragement and opposition.

When the Cholera visited us last year, there was no part of the County, except Mevagissey, where it prevailed so fatally as in the St. Germans Union. In many oi its parishes and villages, especially those along the stores of the river and harbour, the mortality was ap palling, few localities sutterea so severely, in proportion to tlieir population. The spectacle of suffering generally induces pity the (Atemplation of mortality, especially when it results few a prevailing and irresistible Pestilence, calls to Hious consideration of our eternal responsibilities.

On Wednesday afternoon, after an excessively hot morning and a threatening sky, this town was visited by a severe storm of thunder, lightning, and heavy rain. Happily the storm passed witnout uomg any damage to lite or property. St. George's District, Kenwyn. On Monday last, the children of the St.

George's National Schools were examined by the Rev. J. Bardie and the Clergyman of the District. Their answers were very satisfactory, both on religious and general subjects. At the close of the examination, a veiy pretty vase of serpentine was presented by the mistress on behalf of the chil dren, to the Rev.

W. F. Addison, as a token of gratitude and regard on his leaving the district. The scholars, to the number of 200, with the addition of 35 girls from the Kenwyn workhouse, and 40 old scholars, were assembled on the following day at 2 o'clock. After having been taken to St.

George's church (where prayers were read by the Rev. Prebendary Browne, and the children were addressed by Mr. Addison), the whole party proceeded to Kenwyn vicarage. The lawn soon presented a scene of happiness and childish enjoyment. After a variety of games and other amusements, the children returned in procession to their school-room, which was tastefully decorated for the occasion, and were plentifully supplied with tea and cake.

Cornwall Training Schools. On Wednesday week, there was an examination, at the school in Fairm an tie -street, Truro, of pupils in the Cornwall Training School. The examiners were the Rev. Prebendary Browne, Rev. B.

Brewett, Rev. J. P. Warren, Dr. Barham, and the Rev.

H. B. Bullockc, the Principal. The subjects of the religious portion of the examination were the History of the Bible, History of the Prayer Book, the Acts of the Apostles, the Thirty-nine Articles, and the Church Catechism. The secular subjects were History, Geography, Grammar, Arithmetic, and Writing from Dictation.

The examination commenced at 10 o'clock, and was not concluded until 4 in the afternoon. At 12 o'clock, Mr. Hcmpel attended, and the pupils, who had been under his instruction, afforded much satisfaction by the manner in which they sang several pieces of sacred and secular music. At the close of the examination, the examiners expressed themselves highly pleased with the results, and awarded prizes of books to the following girls First class 1st prize, to Louisa Osment 2nd ditto, Selina Callaway both from the Exeter Training School. Second Class 1st prize, to Mary Pope 2nd, to Priscilla Pearee, both of Truro.

The whole of the pupil teachers 13 in number, were examined; but the competition for prizes was limited to nine who are not apprenticed pupils. The friends and supporters of education on the sound principles of our Church will be glad to learn that this training-school is going on satisfactorily. We learn that two additional pupils are expected after the Midsummer vacation. Truro British and Foreign Schools. The annual meeting of the friends and supporters of these schools was held on Friday evening, at the Town HalL Mr.

Stokes presided. Some of the boys were publicly examined by the master and the pupil-teachers, in the Scriptures, English Grammar, Geography, English History, and Mental Arithmetic. After the examination, Mr. G. Clyraaread the report of the committee for the past year.

The number of boys now on the books, was 253 of girls, 132 and of infants, 146 there having been an increase during the year of 13 boys, 20 girls, and 46 infants. The statement of accounts showed that the subscriptions received had amounted to 56 19s. and that donations had been received from parents of children, amounting to 10 18s. The debt on the schools had been reduced, during the year, from 24 14s. 7d.

to 17 3s. 6d. The debt upon the school premises, of 200, still remained unliquidated. The efficiency of the schools, and the general qualifications and steady zeal of the conductors, were affirmed and acknowledged and favourable testimonials were quoted in the report, from the Government Inspector, and from Mr. Madgin, a gentleman of Tiverton who had visited the Schools at the request of the Borough Road Committee.

The report was adopted, "and officers and committee for the ensuing year were appointed, on the motion of Mr. Job, se conded by Mr. N. C. Step ens.

The other speakers were the. Bev. J. Graham, New Connexion Minister, itev. js.

iye, vves-leyan, Messrs. J. James, S. Pascoc, Barlow, and Stokes, the principal speeches being those delivered by Mr. Nye and Mr.

Stokes, in which the duty and necessity of popular education was insisted on, and the system of the British and Foreign Schools was defended. The Wreck op the Orion. We lament to learn that in this disastrous accident, two Cornish gentlemen were drowned John Pearee, of Mevagissey, and T. Jago, formerly resident in the same town, but engaged for the last 7 or 8 years, at Liverpool, as an agent for the Messrs. Bolitho, of Penzance.

This sad event has deeply afflicted the numerous friends and acquaintance of those gentlemen, in Mevagissey and other parts of the county. Both gentlemen were highly respected and esteemed by the public generally of Mevagissey and its neighbourhood and, for Mr. Pearee especially the whole town is sorrowing, for he was a friend to all. By the public generally, his loss is naturally more acutely felt than that of Mr. Jago, who had been absent from the town for some years while Mr.

Pearee had been living there in the active discharge of public and private duties, up to the time of his departure for Liverpool, a few "weeks since, on business. It appears that, having completed his business at Liverpool, he aud Mrs. Pearee, accompanied by their friend, a Mr. Moss of Liverpool, proceeded on board the Orion, for a pleasure-trip to Glasgow. When the steamer struck, Mr.

and Mi-s. Pearee, Mr. Moss, and Mr. Jago rushed to the deck. Mr.

Jago stood with his carpet bag in his hand when Mr. Moss said to him, You will try and get on shore." Mr. Jago replied that he saw no danger. Hi a few minutes the vessel sank. Mr.

Pearee, we understand, rushed to the first boat that was lowered, and which, unhappily, was swam ed. Mrs. Pearee clung to the rigging of the roast, and, though she lost her hold three times, she was thus ultimately saved being taken off, wc presume, by one of the boats from the 6hore. The bodies of Mr. Pearee and Mr.

Jago were brought to Liverpool on Friday last by the Princess Royal steamer.
