FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE BRISTOL CHANNEL. BRISTOL. OCT. 7.—We have to record a most distressing accident, which occurted in our channel yesterday afternoon, wheieby four highly respectable tradesmen of this city lost their lives, aod three more still remain in a very preearious condition. The loUnwing are the paiticulars of this melancholy occurrence — It seemsi hat yesterday morning, notwithstanding the unfavour- able appearance <>t the weather, a parly of 11 persons hwed a substantiaHy-buiit sloop-rigged boat, belonging to Mr. Luff, for the purpose ol mekingattip down the channtl ihe boat hud sn ojlop deck, and was what would be teimed a good sea-boat. The wind at the time they suited was S.S.W., wiih a very heaw sea on. Notwithstanding a pretty stiff gale blowing, t|)e peison (Mr. Lodge) who had the conduct of the boat, having formerly been ihe captriin of a merchantman, the party had every eonfidpllce in his skill, and decided on proceeding down channel. Thev arrived a» far as the Holmes in safety, a distance of about 2i miles. On their return, when they neared ihe li«hiship which i3 sii mted between some dangerous sands, k no v. n as the English and Wel Ii grounds, on making a lack with all sails set they shipped a larjie quantity of wder. They then endellvouled to go at oui on the oilier tack, but all of them, not knowing much about nautical tnatiers, retaining their seats to windward when she went about, the windwa<d side of course became the leewaid one, the boat heeled over ~nd bhipped more waier, making altogether about a ton, which, of course, found its way into\he cockpit. The boat WilS -hen pro¡:erly put before the wind but still injudiciously, with all sail set, and they mood lor the mouth of the river. In crosslOg that dangerous Spot, commonly called the Swash, Mr. VV. Lodge, who was steering, luffed up in ihe very eye of the wind lhe boat would not wear she heeled over, capsized, and went down stern foremost, plunetne the whole of the unfortunate passengers into the watsr. Fortu- nately at the time a Custom-house boat was passing, and went :0 their assistance the sloop Mary Ann, which was near also lowered a boat and sent it to their rescue. They managed to pick up seven, but four unloriunately were drowned. Thesuivi vors were conveyed to Pill, where medical assistance waspromuilv procured, and ihe usual remedies were adminstferej. Three however, from excitement and prostraiion of bodily stren )h consequent on their having been some time in the water ale still in a veiy precarious condition. One of ihe bodies (that of Fv JefFeries) has been recovered, and an inquest will be held on'I ibis evening. The names of ihe deceasi d are Evan Jeff°r' I'hos Rich, Georae Packer, sndVVm. Lodge. We shouldli!65' staled thai the pump of the boat would not woik, beinu out* ordrr. Mr. Morgan a senileman of Newport, was to have bee°n ot the party, but accident prevented him.

WRECK OFIHE SUPKKK STEAMER. VERDICT OF THE JUIIY. SOUTHAMPTON. FR-DAV NIGHT-.—The Jersey packet brines intelligence of the close of the inquest in the case of the Supel i>. The jury met on Thursday, when several additional witnesses were examined, their testimony being confiiniaiory of the evi- dt-nceprevousiy adduced. Fleming, Ihe male of the wrecked steamer, wished to address the j'Jiy, but was refused an audience The Attorney-General summed up WJlh great caie and impar- tially, and the jury having delibeiated, returned thefotlowing vetdici :— "That Isaac Gossett and his wife were deowned inconse- quence of the wrecu of the Superb, on the 24th uliimo. Tlut the wreck of the Superb was the result of culpable im- prudence on the part of C'tpl. Priaulx, in taking the Superb in a dangerous place, without knowledge of iis oidinary course. "that John Fleming, the mate, is guilty of imprudence, in at. tempting to take the said vessel on that course." On comparing the list of passengers on board the Superb, with the names of those saved, it is clear that 17 persons, al tast must have perished, and it is feared that four more have been drowned. 1 he ill-fated vessel, which was left high and dry on the racks, has sunk in deep water.

WRECK. OF THREE INDIA MEN. i By the arrival of the overland mail Imm Inuia. on Friday af. ternoon, the underwriters at Lloyd's were put in possession of information relative to the melancholy loss of three lir-t-class ,hips employed in the East India trade, namely. the Manches- ter, 6U0 tons, bound lor London; the Ariadne, 7'0 tons, of Greenock, bound for Liverpool; and the Nereid, íOO tons, cf London. Thit of the Ariadne created the deepest regret, Ibe ntelligence leaving very hltle doubt that ail hands, together with some, passengers, met with a wateiy grave. The unfortunate slnv, we alc given to understand, sailed horn Calculta lor Eog. land in the litier part of July, wi h a va liable he gbt on boaid About, ihree weeks alterwards, some vessels, bound 10 Calcutta, in passing near Palmyras Point, on the India coast, discovered a wreck, which, on examination, proved to be that ot the AriaJne. No living creature, however, was lo be seen on the wreck, or in any other place ne ir it, and she was last breaking up. Imme- diately on the melancholy news reaching Calcutta, the IIUlhoTl- ties despatched a Government steamer to the spot, with instruc- tions lo ascertain, il possible, the fate of ihe crew. Afewhouis bt-foie tremail s'eamer started for England,lhe steamer returned to CAICUU-I with intelligence confirming lhe loss of the ship and cargo, and that sreat doubts existed regarding the fate 01 those be'oogiog to the ship. The chief mate of the Ariadne was picked up on a spar, by the steamer, t,IT the coast, 4') miles south- ward ihe place where the ship was lost. I he poor fe'lowwas in a state of exhaustion. He !iad been twel.e days exposed subsisiing entirely on some hemes. As far as could be gleaned t orn him, it appeared that ibe .aster and crew had been carried out to sea on a rait in a gale oi wind. 1 lie steamer went in search, and, after several days' cruising, returned to Calcutta. It is reported there weie from 30 to 40 persons on the raft, and from tlie violent state of lhe weadier w hen ii Was driven out to sea, it is doubtful whether an) of them survive. Still, hopes are enter- tained that they may have been nicked UP by some vessel. The ship and caigo are va'ued at £ 30,t'00. 'he Manchester India- man was wiecked on the Sangor Islands, on the oth of August, a few days' sail from Calcutta. Crew saved.

EXTRAORDINARY SCENE AT THU CONSECRATION Or-A CHUKCH. PLYMOUTH, SI-NDAY.— Yesterd IY the new district church cf St. Peter, at Plymouth, WHS consecrated by the Mishop of hxeter. Some days before the consecration, the incumbent, lhe Rev. G. R. Pnnne, issued notices stating that admission would be by ticket. Upon this, application was made by Mr. Isaac Laiimer, the edi oi and piopiietor of tlie Plymouth Journal, for a t ckel, which Mr. Pivnne, who had recently piosecutcd Mr. Lattmei for a libel, at EXETER, and been defeated, refused, alleging that he LELT it a solemn duty TO PIO'ect THE woishippers and cammuaicants of St. Peter's Church from the idle and profane GAZE 0: a mere spectator! The ticket was, consequently, withheld, and Mr. Latimer wrote to the Bishop of Exeter, who, however, has taken no noiiceof his letter, although his attention was called to tin* fact that he had before depiecated this system of packing a church by admitting by tick«t. Such being the stale ot tlnngs, Mr. Latimer determined on tryiog his tight to ridmissi.N, and accor- dingly about TWENTY minutes to eleven he went to the church DOOR, wheie he W as slopped by IHTEE policemen and acleigyman, and refused admission., on the ground that he had no ticket. .Mr. Latimer loudly protested against the course that had been adopted of packing the chu-ch, and claimed his right of admis- sion iOlothe church without a tickel. Tbe noise that this scene occasioned brought the curate, the Rev. G. H. Iletling, to the door, and he again said that there should be no admission with- out It. licket. Mr. Latimer said that he would insist upon his right to enter the church without a ticket, upon which 1\1<. lIelling replied that if he created a distuibance. he would give htmtncharge. Mr. Latimer defi -d him to give in charge, assei- ting that at a time of public worship he had as much right to he in the church as he (the curate) had, and that right he would maintain at all cost. He also deifed the poiice to lake him into custody, and called upon Mr. Gibbons, ihe supern.tendent, to show by what authority he piesumed to aci, or to attempt to prevent a parishioner, and a peaceable citizen, from enleung a 'U'CVHT TTI* 0,.PU^T,IC worship I Mr. Gibbons said thai he WAS authorised by the Mayorof the town to act under the inst, uc R EF..°NF }\ P'VNNE. Mr. Latimer said lhatilie Mayor had no HI.. ?J • "MAGISTERIAL authority I0 auy clergyman, aud nat tie should, in spite of that delegation, insist upon his riaht to emer, and defied Ihe police to interfere. Their dotv was only to prevent a breach of peace, and not to carry out illegal and unconstitutional orders given to them by men of straw. Mr Helling said that Mr. Latimer should not enter nil the bell lang. INA then oideied the bell to I e lung, and told Mr. Latimer he might pass in. 1 HE door was then thrown open, and M«. Latimer eniered, and immediately walked through the aisle and took his P ace close to ihe chance).

Ihe Excise revenue for the quarter ending last year-with which B 1 rtT," '-Si COmpared—was more productive, contrasted avoura ) y with the quarters cf October, 1848 and 1847. Sub- tracting t ie repealed duty on bricks, the other items of Excise revenue yield more than average receipt. The Stamps also show a decrease as compared with the unusually active quarter of iast year, when trade had just recovered its previous de- pression, and when the dealers in stamps had been increasing their stock tor the purpose of availing themselves of the au- vantage ol the expected drawback. This year, on the con- trary, every one is waiting for the new and reduced scale of stamp duties, which comes into operation this week. The other smaller iteo,« continue much the same, the Income-tax oiid the Post-office holding up tl.air accustomed buoyancy. 1 here is nothing HI tins state of things that has not been ftilfv provided for and expected. The Excise has already, in some sort, made up hy other items for the total repeat 01" the brick dunes, which were relaxed in the lust session of Parliament, and will, ihere is litt.e doubt, still further tend to replace to some extent the reduction thus designedly made. The Chan- cellor of the Exchequer also stated his expectation of losing £300000,11 vi ar by Irs reductions in the stamp duties. A tnorethan proponionaie amount of that reduction has taken place in this quarter, however, from the cause we have indica- ted, namely, the holding back tf so many for the reduction and regulation, widell come into force thia week. 'ihe revenue will still continue greatly in excess of the expenditute, the reductions in which are making themselves extensively felt more aud more every day.

THE CONDITION OF FRANCE. France is not improving in her commerce, nor yet is she sustaining the character for gaiety, and sun- shine of the soul, ever, till the great revolution of February, her uniform characteristics among the con- temporary nations of Europe. She is sad and gloomy, and the glorious autumnal sun of Paris sheds little of its rays among the brilliant groups of flaneurs that were wont to disport themselves on the Boule- vards. The passage Panorama is almost a desert, and the space before Tortonis-indeed, all down the Italiens is often as silent as the grand Rues, that op- press the visitor with their sombre stateliness, in the once royal, but now deserted Versailles. Still, you read in letters from our "own correspondents'' in some London papers, that Paris is gay-that visitors are flocking in- and that the Provinces are tranquil be- cause the heart of the country, which is the capital, is sound; and that its pulsations declare a steady and improving state of health. False and delusive pens. How a Frenchman would laugh at the effusions of such writers. He might, indeed, admire the well- turned periods, but he would cry Bah at the facts (!) France well knows she is on the threshold of great events-her way is obscure—her vision oppressed. She is preparing for the struggle, from whatever quarter it may come, and compelled to think, goaded to reflect, she departs from her natural character and becomes reserved, restrained, flies from the ball, and ceases to take refuge in the cafe. When such is the case, need we wonder at the present dulness of Paris > Need we feel surprised that few gay equipages are seen flaunting in the streets-that the theatres are SY'l.rf tbat the 1sh°pkeePers' aff"ghted, stand All • armS 0ver almost unvisited counters ? All wish, but all fear a change, and we verily believe that if Lucifer himself, the Son of the Morning came among the Parisians, and offered them peace, quietude, and commerce, with the former twenty- ve housand rich English again placed iu the splen- DV>V ^Uar*ei Hcmore, he would be hailed as the governor of their choice. But as Lucifer cannot n uuself, at least not at noon-day, in the streets stal iailS' they rnus^ be content to look for a firm and rmn Soyernment, springing and emanating from. i YE great Parti!, s- that in FACE of each other, and contending for the sovereignty; and T, of them for the plunder of a mighty people, th are> first, the elder Bourbons, having eir destined King ready to be annointed at Rheims, lo S°n ^oun': Chambord, whom they e o call HENRI, and to compare to the only great ourboii that ever lived-Henry the Fourth. '1 hough 0 there is as much resemblance between the illustrious EAD and the living NOTHING, as there is between fie English racehorse and the Egyptian hippopota- mus.
