The refusal of Mr. Dickens to appear at Windsor Castle with his company of amateur actors; except upon the assurance that their social position as respectable literary men should be officially recognised, was aS credita ble to him, as the unwillingness to comply with so reasonable a condition was discreditable to the court.

The captain then, finding he conld not launoh it, got put of the quartor-uoat, ran to the port side of the vessel with his wife, and descend ing by the mixien-ehains with her, they were taken into the long-boat by the mate and others. The steward, who had been fitting outthe quarter-boat with water and provisions to save the oaptain and his wife, now held ft lantern In the miwen*rigging to enable them to get safely into tho long-boat. No sooner had he and his wife got into the boat, which was now pretty well loaded, (sixteen persons having taken refuge in it,) than he cried, “Shore her offfrom the snip.” The steward climbed up the mizzen rigging with hfelantern; and cried, “ Oh, Captain, are you going i to leave me hero? Captain Dailey will you leave me here ? ” This he Repeated several times in tones of painful entreaty. The Captain said noth ing more than “ Shove off the boat,” which we did aslt was deeply laden, and would havo been in danger of going down with the ship. We shoved off a little from the barque, leaving the passengers at work at the pumps for doar life. One of them jumped overboard from tbe bows and tried to reach the boat; but he perished in the attempt. Seve ral of the sailors only reached us by swimming. We afterwards learned'from one of the survivors on tho vessel! that the passengers,when they found themselves deserted by the officers and sailors, calmly left the pumps, and went into their cabins, apparently resigned to thoir fate. We laid during tho night about half ft mile from the ship, but could not see it. We supposed that some of the people might he saved-in the morning. The weather was very calm or we never should have survived. At dawn,' the;fog having disap* Eeared, we could see land, and found that tho ship ad struck on a rook (as we subsequently learned) off Corbia Head, about six miles from a fishery called “ Burin,” in Burin county, Newfoundland.

We rowed ashore, and landed twelve of our people, in cluding tho captain .and his wife, and the other four took the boat book to toe barque and sAved tbe steward and the two passengers. The rock against which the b&Tque struck was at toast three times higher than her mainmast, and quite perpendicu lar. About throe hoursaftof'landing, wo succeeded In hailing a passing fisblug schooner, which came to our assistance. Capt, Dailey said he did not know where ho was, and supposing that tho island was inhabited by wild pooplo, was very anxious to get away. He had proviously sent three persons to reoonaoitor, to see If there were any Indians about. They went armed with knives and Sticks, at bU suggestion, but did not meet with any adven tures. The oaptain of the schoonor told him that it was Carbon Head on which he lost his vessel, and that the place was inhabited by oivlUzod people.

Miss Augusta Cunningham. —Miss Augusta 1 Cunningham, the eldest daughter, who has become \ so disgusted with her mother’s eonduct, as it was' revealed in the late denouement, still continues to* reside with her aunt in Lexington avenue. She is' but little improved in health or appearance, and! will, In all probability, never fully reoover from the shook produoed by the discovery of the sham acoouohement on the part of her mother. Grief and shame have produoed a marked changein the fea tures of Augusta. One could hardly recognise her now os the person who testified on the coroner’s inquest, so great has been the change. No doubt the girl has become disgusted with affairs of: late, Tor she evinces a strong and apparently set- ' tied determination never to put her foot in No. 31’ Bond street again, uor to live with her mother as' long as she seems determined to play suoh deeper-- ate games with the hope of gaining wealth. Who Ann Mrs. Cunninoiiam’s Friends? —Who; are Mrs Cunningham’s friends in this most trying l hour?. What gentleman will como forward ana. generously become her bondsman if she should bo' admitted to bail ? Sush questions are asked daily’ without any satisfactory result. It is said that she has a near friend in tbe person of one of the Gov-< ernors of tho^Almshouse, who has promised to help; her out of this last scrape, but whothor ho will toe! the mark when the word is given we are not au-- thorieod to state. Mr. Eckel is rather indifferent on the jwint of bail. He'seema to think that he. baa got into enough of trouble already, (and inno- - oentiy, too, perhaps,) all.through Mrs. Cunning hum, without further damaging his proepeots, pe cuniary or otherwise. So there is little' to be ex pected from that quarter. * Thon Dr. Walter B ' Roberta is looked to Tor aid in this matter, but he also seems to think it advisable to leave the sink- 1 ingship. However, he baa expressed a detormi* > nation to take oaro of tho children, should Mrs.■ Cunningham, by some accidout or otherou the part ■ of the authorities, be deprived of hor liberty. . The Trial op Dr. Uhl.— We are informed that a number of tho leading dooiors, ex-Fresideuts, Vice Presidents, and present officers of the Academy of Mcdioine, have called on Dr. Uhl in reference to the rumor that he was to bo placed on tr al beforo that body on the eharge of violating tho confidence of patients, for the purpose of expressing their non s in relation to the matter. They have disavowed in. nearly every instance, and in tho most omphatic terms, any intention whatever, so far as they are concerned, of calling him to uocount'before that body, and have pledged themselves, so far as in them lies, to protect and uphold tho Dootor in the course he has pursued in the recent exposure, in whioh he has been mainly instrumental. They say that it is a matter in which the Academy, os a* body, had nothing to do; and evonifithoa, they' can see no impropriety in the Doctor’s lending his aid to the oxteutno did, to oxposo the act and bring tho criminal to punishment. They advise Dr. Uhl to pay no attention whatovor to the rumors in cir culation about him, and have pledged themselves, should any individual prefer charges beforo that body against him, as rumored, to lond their uid iu erushing and dismissing it as frivolous, uncalled for, and a matter over which thoy, as a body, have no control. No meeting of the Aoademy will bo held in any event until tho fore purt of September, when the matter will undoubtedly be brought be fore them, in some sh&po or other, for action, in whioh oase Dr. Uhl says he is prepared to dofend himself as best he can; but until that time, by ad* vioe of hia counsel, he says bo shall refuse to con verse with any person other than such counsel on the subject, one way or tho other. MATTERS AND THINGS IN NEW YORK. (From the New York papers.] New York, Angust 12,1857. Coroner Hills was called upon to hold an Inquest yesterday, at the foot of Charlton streot, upon the body of an unknown female, who, U.is supposed, committed suicide by drowning herself, in her possession was found ft letter from a person sap posed to be her brother, from which it would ap pear that deceased was the victim of seduotioa. The letter was dirooted to “ Miss Joanna Donahoe, Post-Offioe, Broadway, Now York.” The doceased was a respectable looking woman, about thirty years of age, of medium size. She was dressed in a buff oolorod dress, white skirts and brown gaiters. The jury rendered a verdict of “death by supposed drowning.” . ■ There is to be a national conventicn of obe9s players in this city during the coming month of October. The sessions will commence on the Oth, and will continuo daily for one week, or longer if it is doomed desirable. Among the subjects that will come before the convention will be a revision of the chess laws, about which there is some dis pute, and which the best players deem imperfect. There is also to be a grand tournament, in which players of acknowledged merit from all parts of the-Union and a few from Europe will oontend. This congress will attract considerable attention, as chcfc playing has become a national amusement with us, and aliclasse* of society participate in it. The New York Chess Club contains some of tho a.“fXb compare with tbe “crack” players, from other States. It la understood that every State in the Uniou will be represented In this congress, and it.i| expected that delegates will also be pre sent from Europe. Margaret Pine, a slave belonging to the family of Wynant Von Zandt, doceased, formerly of Lit tle Neck, L. 1., departed this life on the 4th inst., aged 72 years. She was boro'in \Yc3tchestor county, in tho year 1778. She was presented to Mr. van Zandt by his father, in her comparative infancy. She was tho last slave in the State of New York, A largo number of ships of the first class still re main laid up at tho wharves for want of employ ment, there being nothing to do in the way of freight. It is said that so great a depression of tho shipping Interest as at proseut exists has not oc curred tor tho last ton or fifteen yours. A young girl, named Sarah J. Ilinery. was tried and convicted yestorday in the General Sessions, of grand larceny. She induced Albert Klaberg to visit a well known panel game Uoubo in Thomas stroot, where he was robbed of one hundred and fifty dollars. She was sent to the penitentiary for two years. Subsequently tho proprietorcss, Susan Smith, was oonviotod oh tho same charge and sent to the State prison for five years. John Crombolla, an old offender, was convicted of burglary and sen tenced for tho same term. On being removed from tho bar ho said, “I wou’t go a foot. A mass meeting of fifteen or twenty individuals assembled at Onaordonk’a Hal!} last evening, for the avowed objeot of regoneratiug the American party., Tho affair Boomed to be a Black Republi can movement in disguise, bonded by some dissat isfied, hungry and Was so de nounced by some of thoso present. Very little pro gress was made towards tne desired end. The body of Mr. Edwin Pitcher, who was acci dentally drownod by falling from tho steamboat Long Branch, drifted ashore.on Sunday afternoon, and an inquest was held by yesterday. The Killing of Baugh in Chester Connty, The different papers published recently an ac count of the killing of a man named Wm, Baugh, by a constable, In Chester county. It was stated that Baugh was a desperado, and the killing en tirely justifiable. This week, however, a neighbor takes un tbo cudgel in his behalf in a letter to the WcstChester Republican. He s&ys: “You say that Baugh was known to be a most desperate character, everybody was afraid of him. That 1 do most unhesitatingly deny. I have always re garded him as an honest man, and an orderly citi zen, and only when insulted or believing bis rights to be invaded would ho become aroused, and when In that state his temper became uncontrollable. That was his misfortune, not his fault. You also say that tho shooting of Baugh is fully justified by tbo entire community. That is far from being the foot. But I do not wish to say much about tho conduct and statements of the officers, understand ing that the cose Is to be fully investigated. I have not the time to notioo all the charges against Mr. Baugh’s oharaoter in your article,hoping that some abler pen will roviow the whole transaction from its commencement to its awful termination.” The funeral of William Baugh took place on last Tuesday morning, at 10 o’clock, and seldom do we see is largo and solemn a funeral procession. Tho Rev, Mr. Hay and Rev. Mr. Knipe delivered very, impressive disoourses on the Occasion. The family of the deceased have the sympathies of tho entire community. The West Chester Record says'; Mr. Layman; whose u«ok was so horribly gashed by the cut of an axe in his attempt to arrest. William Baugh, and whose recovery waa considered extremely doubtful, is, we are happy to leum, doing very well.
