The young woman's name was stated to be Alicia Vaughan, and she was under.tood to be the nit os or some near relative of William Fivey. The boy, it was understood, was the son of the de ceased and of the male prisoner, who, we were in- formed, had been living together for some years in an unmarried state, and had had 1 children, but one of whom (the above mentioned) only snrvivt d. According to report, a merrier was fixed to take place between the parties at Monkstown church on the day following the sad catastrophe, and the neces sary license was lodged with the clerk or sexton of that parish. The inquest will be held to-day. At the Limerick Quarter Sessions, on Thursday, several persons were indicted for riotous proceedings at a proselytizing establishment at Dorm, on tne 30th of June last. The names of the prisoners were Edmund Londragan, Michael Richardson, Robert Smee, John Dunlea, Cornelius Barran, William Ryan, sen., William Ryan, jun., Denis Gorman, Patrick Hayes, and Terence Brennan. - - - _ Mr. R. C. S.U, 8.11., Cestleconnell, wee the first wit gees examined by Mr. James Barry, Leal crown solicitor. — I recollect the 30th of Jane. I went to Doom that day, in r2rra ed iiikeingpil i that apggelmatient was felt . 8 1 I mei lake niece there. It was on Sunday, and found esteem( police force there before me. I saw a large miesourse of persons assembled. I should say close upon one thostmod. I was present when the congregation left Kihnoylen House, and came out upon the road; the people asesembled commenced yelling and shouting beyond anything I ev. r beard; when the Rev. Mr. Ella drove out his car be was hooted and groaned in a dreadful manner; th y tailed him "dried hake" and " math 'brach." (Laughter.) Re, however, got away through the crowds, and I did not see him molested; the Rev. Mr. Atkinson then came for wud from Kilmoylan Rouse, and nearing the people lie was also wailed with yells and shouts; indeed, they evinced an exceedingly angry and excited appearance—nos man in pertictilu (Londragan) kept leaping and jumping out before him, calling him offensive names, and behaved in a violent manner, so much so that I desired the police to arrest him, which they Immediately did. I assured Rev. Mr. A.kinson that he need set be apprehensive, and got the reuse to escort him to the cane on his way home. Rev. Mr. Silts and Rev. Mr. Atkinson pot away milieu , Wag assaulted. lam decidedly of opinion that the conse quence might have been very serious had not the police b-en in attendance; there were lrt.m tweny.four to tit enty-five constable, on duty. Cross awaked by Mr. Fitzgibbon—Doan is a large parish, and the msjority of the people are Roman catholic,; there is • very lug. chapel there; toil transaction took place oar *Sudsy atter also ; heard it was because some persons had beers protestant, that the people were tumultuous, end that the priest was very dissatisfied too; woen Rev Mr. Ellis drove through the crowd, there was not a finger robed at hint, nothing but shouting. Rev. Mr. Atkinson ass mach excited at the conduct of the people on that oc. mien; the shouting never ceased all the time we were Wse • twent were arrested that day. Coe: J Constable Joseph Miner corroborated the testimony of Mr, B.II; the congregation wets ghosted at when leaving Kil moylan after service; they called out "dry hake," and called the Protestants " devils." Richardson appeared one of the !seders. Subtoustable &undersea, of Cappamore, sworn, and examined by Mr. S. Boureater—l was in Boon on Sunday, the 30th Jane. I saw th, people ranged along the wells at the road, waiting for the congregation to come out of Kil simian. and I remonstrated with them to go sway, but they would not. I heard the shouting and yelling at the clergymen and protestant inhabitants; there was every de nionstreuou of disturbance, sad I am confident there would have been a serious breach of the pest* if the police were not there to protect the oongreg ,tiou. Bob-constable Farrell sworn—l was at 'eases is Doon shape' on Bur.d.y, 30th of June, and I hosed the priest (Rev. Mr. Dwyer) my to the congregation that they may shout with safety, sce long as they did not brisk the peace. The Rev. Mr. Ellis wee then called, but it was considered unnecessary to examine hies. Mr. Fitzgibbon addressed the jury for the traverser., stating that then was no evidence to warrant them in finding his clients Frailty of a riot. The Assistant Bordner, before sddmsing the jury, read from " klawhios' Pleas of the Crown" the offence of riot, by which it apparel it was .not necessary to prove that bows had beets struck, and then said that neither he nor the jury bac anything to do with theology or politics. The differeeces of opinion with respect to the protevant and Roman catholic religion had existed for hundreds of years before they were born, sod would for hundreds of years after they were dead. Their duty was to administer the law with impartiality.-16 and they ware sworn to discharge their duties without regard to sect, creed, or party—it was their duty to protect the peace, and not allow say or.s to violate it, and he was quite sure, from his knowledge of the gentle. men who served as jurors at quarter eeuions, that they would rotors a fair and conscientious verdict. The jury then retired, and were locked in for two hours, when they returned with a verdict of "Not guilty." Mr. &Itchier thee Applied to have the traverser, bound to the peace, but his worship declined complying, stating Viet he sever quarrelled with the verdict of a jury. The traverser' were all liberated from the cluck. Mr. W;lliam Willis, the priccipal of the Cork School of Design, and a gentleman of considerable artistic reputation in the south of Ireland, died on Saturday. COURT OF DELEGATES.—RATURDAT. TMWITLas, APPELLANT; KILLT, RUPoNnamT.—JUDO. MINT IN FATunli OP THE APPELLANT. The RiAltt Hon Justices Crampton and Penis, the Right Baron Lentil, Sir Henry Merodyth, and Dr. Andrews took their seats la the Nisi Prior Court on Saturday, at one o'clock, for the purpose of giving twiggiest in the above appeal, with Teepee: to which the atemben of the court had arrived at a unsotmoas COOI lution. Judge Crampton pronounced the judgment of the court. A very lugs sum of money is involved is this matter. At the time of the death of Edmond Kelly, the husband of Vie respondent, he was peasemed of real estates to the amount of about 3.0001., and personal sad funded property to the estimated value of at least 250,00 W. The instrument in question devised a small estate, worth about 1001. a year, to • near kinsman of the deemed Kelly, and all the rest of his enormous property to Mn. Kelly, the tole executrix named therein. Miss Tnewles, an cousin of the deceased, claimed the sole tight to administer to his will. Alter timely analysing all the evidence as to the details of those transactions, and having adverted to the fact that Mr. Kelly spent much 01 his time in England away from his relatives, the learned judge(Crampton) concluded by saying that the court were of *pinion that the instrument propounded by the respondent was not the true will and testament of Edmond Kelly, deceased, but the act of toe propounder of it; or at least that it was not sufficiently proved to have been his true and last will. Tnty should. therefore, reverse the sentence of the court below. For obvious reasons,twthch it was not now neeessary to mention, they could not grant administration to the respondent, although she was the widow of the descend; they ',mad to the exercise of their discretion grant it to the I appellant, Miss Thewlea. With regard to coots, tte court, an debit° jimmies, and, as was the practice in .11 Met of fraud, condeutsed the respondents in the entire costs incurred ea the appeal, as well as in the court below. It may be worth observing that Mrs. Kelly recently lent W sum of 250,0001. te the Midland Grist Western Railway at 4 per mat. interest.

THIS DAY. _ Two o'CLoci, The market for the home funds has been remark ably quiet and steady to-day, scarcely even a frac tional variation having occurred in prices. The bonafule business offering is small in amount, and the speculative operations are also trivial, the adjustment of the account in Consols occupying attention. Consols have not varied all morning. from the closing quotion of l esterday ; 96,1 to „, ex die., for the account of Thursday, and for money the range bag been the same. The Reduced Three per Cents. have met with busi ness at 971 and „ ; the New Three-and-a. Quarter ter Cents., at 981 and 99; the Three per Cent. Annuities, 1726, at 961; S uth Sea Old Annuities, at 97 ; Bank Stock at 2141, 215, and 214. The unfunded securities are still looking down. Exchequer B lle 1,0001. and Small, have been trans acted at 595., 60a., and 565. prem. ; India Bondy, large and small, at 775. and 73.. prem. In the foreign stock market there has been little business beyond the arrangements for the settling, but the general feeling of the market is a shade stronger. Mexican Binds have rallied to 351 for the accent of the 31st inst. The other transactions of the day are comprised in the following, vie: Belgian Four and-a-Half per Cents., 901. T wo-and-a-Halt per Cents. Dutch,s7„, „ ; ditto Four per Cent. Certificates, 901.1; Mexican B Aida, 33, 34„; ditto for the account Jan. 31. Peruvian Four-and-and-a-Half per Cents., 1819, 791 ; ditto for recount, 794; ditto Deferred, 341. Russian Five per Cents. 1111 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., smell Bonds, 967„ j. Spanish Active Five per Cents., 171. Three per Cents. }reach Recta', 57f. 50c.; ex..hange, 24f. 95c. The attention of the dealers and jobbers in the Stock Exchange is mainly occupied with the arrange ments for the settlement of the fortnight's account in sharer and foreign stocks which fall due to-morrow, and the monthly account in Consols ex' iriog on Thursday. Considering that the settlements in the various markots follow s ash other so closely, the com parative quietude which prevails in the .• house" is rather surprising, the more especially as contrasted with the ex.itement and fluctuation usually brought about at such periods by the efforts of speculative parties. The various accounts are expected to be arronged quietly, the amount of the differences in volved being in few cases heavy. The last 'deices received as to the Maryland debt are of the greatest interest to the bondholders in reference to the paying off of the debt. The finances tat the State are represented to be in a very flourishing condition. The receipts into the Treasury largely exceed the expenditure, leaving a balance annually applicab;e to paying off the public debt. The statement for the last fiscal year is as under: _ . Dols. c. The receipts for the fiscal year, ending Nov. 30, 18.1. animated 1,225,000 00 BAlance in Treuury, Drs. 1, 1850 Total resources 1,470 408 84 Espouses of all kinds 910,000 00 Balloon on hand, Dee. 1, 18.51 66C,408 b 4 The balance in the Tr-asury on the Ist of Decem ber, 1850, stood at 243,408 dole., or 51,1001., after paying all expenses, interest upon the public debt, and MAO dole., or 104,2001., of the funded debt.

After the exposi.ion of toe indebtedneas of the state, and of her ability to meet all her engagements given in my last annual magma., I do not deem it necessary at this time to dwell at much length upon this part of the subject, I would briefly remark that 'he present ou:s• coding debt of the com monwealth is 9,033,189 dole. 30.. y., and there remains to te paid, on a'count of subscriptions made to organised compa nies, but not yet called for, 4,632,868 dots, 49e.

Supposing that the state will be called upon for 387,132 dole. of this latter amount (which much exceeds the probable demand), the pubic ttttt ury will thus be liable for 5,000,000 dole. upon subscriptions ready authonyed. Tnis sum of 5,000,000 dols. will shortly require to be raised by loans secured by the bonds of the state. Tne sudden or even the gradual sal* of so large an amount of state stocks can hardly be effected without a depreciation of their value, or on terms favourable to the state, unless suers precautionary measures are aoupted as may reactor them more acceptable, than under the preaerat modes of procedure they are likely to be, to the purchasers of public a. curium The following gold report has been received per Empress by the Imperial Brazilian Mining Asso ciation, dated Rio, Dec. 8, 180 20 days' produce from Congo, 13lbs. 9oz. litiwts.; from Bananal, Sibs. o.z. 14owta. 6grs.; total, lBibs. looz. 1 ldwts. 6,4r5.

We have to report another week of extreme de- pression in the gran trade, and the expectation that matters 20 would improve cab the new year does not appear likely to so be realised at prevent. Supplies from abroad continue to reach as on a more liberal scale than usual at the corres• priding period of the year, and the winter has passed thus far with° .1 frost worth naming. Most of the principal 30 rivers and harbours on the Continent of Europe have re- " maim d free from ice, and though the high rates demanded Jo for freight, the enhanced premiums for influences, and the Igo usifeeriarable state el the exalters on England, have pre vented shipments of importance being midi, still the know- Ifs ledge that sue plies might be drawn !rem quarters whence 4 t... la ordinary seasonsit w. uld be impossible to ship during the 1 4 : writer months, has not been without influence on our mar- 15 hew. The very bad condition in which home supplits so continue to come to hand, owing to the prejudicel edict on all con of lest year's growth by the humid state of the to atmosphere, has ales tended to circumscribe transaction', 71 and we are therefore inclined to attribute the prevailing te t dulness, in a gloat measure, to the nestasonable weather ig which we have hitherto experienced. The large quantity of q rain which has fallen has rendered it difficult tor farmers 114 to cart manure on tee land, and outdoor work has $ not progr red favourably. The young wheat plant is 4 meanwhile growing fast, and is likely to become perms tarry forward, if not speedily checked by frost. Tne pos sioility of injury, resulting from the somewhat unusual M manner of toe waiter, is, however, at present regarded as 13 too distant • contingency to engage attention, and prices 23 have, we some time past, and seem likely to continue, to be ' 2 4 ,' wholly regulated by supply and demand. No one is dis- s s posed to speculate on future evens, and so long as the to quantity brought forward fur sale exceeds what is required le Tor immediate consumption, it is vain to look for any rise in lsi prices. Toe major part of the resent arrivals of sheat naa been from ports lying east of Gibraltar, sod • considerable 3p . aninber of vessels laden with that grain end Indian corn are gi again reported off Falmouth this week. French flour con• at. trues to coins forward freely at several of the channel If ports, and further receipts of that article are calculated on 23 from thence and from America. The deliveries from our own growers have, however, ra Se - ther fallen off of late, and at 801110 of the meeker in the lei. astriewltural districts out of the immediate influence of the 30 !reign soppl es, • somewhat firmer use has bees roamed et. this week by sellers. At the large consurnieg towns in the monk business has remained in • very quiet state ; stall prices hoe., on the whole, been tolerably well maintained. Our letters from Scotland describe the weather there u Se similar to what we have experienced in the south, and the * effect thereof had also been the some as wan us. At Edin burgh and Glasgow millers and merchants had shown great 1; 2 , unwil.iopnisa to add to their stotke. The transactions hod, ‘,..! consequently, been on a retail scale, and the turn had, in et meet cases, been against the seller. From Ireland we leant that large arrivals of Wheat and Inman corn from the Black Ses, &c., together with the very 0:: discouraging amounts from this side of the channel, had 11l checked all disposition to enter into investments, and that pa 'R1910014 had been strictly confined to the supplying of prise- at. iog wants, when purcnarn bad, in many cases, been 25 enabli d to do on somewhat easier terms than previously. At Mark-lane the op, rations have been very circumscribed race lest Monday in every department of the trade. The to arrivals of wheat coastwise into the port of London have not to been ty any means large, only 3,36'8 qrs. having boon re- So ported up to this (Saturday) evening, whilst the quantity Is b 3 brought forward by land carriage samples teem the neigh bowing counties has been very small. Fureien wheat has recited less attention than might have to been eapacted, if we tale into consideration the very soft s condition of the greater part of the English, and the cons.- quint necessity of employing old foreign extensively tor Se 'L mixing. The arrivals from abroad hare been ler than last week, only 8,111 qrs. having come to hand up to this evening. i t . There is, however, still a considerable proportion of that es previously received remaining on board ship, end the total gt quantity efl at at this port is rather considerable. Mean. 8 0 while, the country demand is by no mime extensive, the • supplies re° , ived at the different pore on the coast diminishing the circuit of country which has to draw supplies from the metropolis. The salts effected on Wednesday and Friday were prind- 40 pally in small quantities to our own millers, at rates similar 2 to those current in toe commencement of the week. We ir have bead of no tranaactiocs in floating cargoes to arrive or 8, .df the nut, the prices asked having, in most cases, been 4 deemed too high by buyers. The inquiry tar flour has been slow throughout the week, 23 the top quotation for town-made has remei..ed rationary, OJ and the best country marks have also been held pretty I firmly at former terms Foreign flour, of which, 8,988 auk. e and 3,409 barrels have been received, tin been vary difficult Sel of disponi, and the lower grades have tartly sold so well as on Monday teat. Toe aupplii s of English Barley have been moderate, bat the maluders and distillers have cenducted their o intone 10 with extreme caution, and have paid the recently reduced m prices with some reluctance; factors have, on the other 14 hand, refused to make any further concesaion, end the U Lusineu done has been at previtus rates. Foreign barley, for grie.ditg, bee bets len pressingly offered than last week, end quite as much mosey was asked for good heavy quail- gg meson Friday as earlier in the week. fe Malt has not excited much attention ; seedy buyers have 20 however, had to pay former terms for good goatlike. t• B ass, of home growth, have sold in read at ebaut pre: vious terms, and we have no alteration to quote in Emptian and other sorts of foreign. fu The mild weather has prevented any improvement Wang 14 place either in the demand for or the value of Peas.

TILE FOREIGN CORN TRADE. The advices from the Baltic are not at present of 111 much interest. The weather bad continued m.ld, and the principal rivers and harbours had remained tree from ice. In At Dapg, on the 3rd Mot. business was very dull, there hong no demand fur imme diate delivery, and but little 5 din...tidos to buy for shspenvot in spring. Quotations had ge therefore become almost nominal. The exports from Dung ft is 1850 had *mounted to 37,023 leers wheat, 6,241 lute rye, 1 , 4,0e8 lasts barley, 190 lasts oats, and 2,770 lasts peas. Of the 11 5 1 : wheat upwards at 32,000, of the hurley 4,000, and of the peas 55 2,600 lute had bees for British ports. At Kooigsbeig, on the 4th January, good hieh.mixed Wheat was gutted 375. and red 355. per qr. free on board. * Ti. reads being in an ahnoet impassable state, owing to the ,LIS *ld open weather, supplies from the interior hod come *. forward sp.einely ; but in the absence of exret orders the quantity brought forward had proved amply sufficient to satiety the demand. Neither the quantity nor the quality of the last crop is so well spoken of as it eau Immediately atter a . From Rostock we learn that the supplies of Wheat from the grower. nad increased, which, with the dull reports from hence, and a el ght is.provement in the eschange on Eng lead, had caused she value of wheat to recede more or less, and contents to ship fine 62Ibs. crudity in spring might here have been closed at 375. 61. per qr. free on board.

PUSEYIBM IN THE NORTH. TO THS ZDITOR OP THE DAILY XSTIS. SlR,—Amongst the numerous meeting. of the laity which have been bald in different parts of the country respecting the way is which the service, of our church are c•nducted by the tractarian clergy, one recently held in the parish of Hewortb, in the diocese of Durham, is perhaps the most extraordinary. I co iy observe that Heworth is a large parish, about three miles tom Gateshead, and contains • population of upwards of 8,000. The incumbent, the Rev, Matthew Plummer, lute not resided amongst his people for several years in consequence of ill health, and the charge of this important pariah is committed to two youug clergymen the curates, the stipend of one of them being, I believe, paid by the Curates' Aid Society. The Rev. Mr. De Gen, one of the curates of St. Barnateas, Pimlico, war for several years the senior curate of Heworth. When Mr. De Gex was appointed one of the curates of the Rev. Mr. Bennett he was succeeded at Heworth by the Rev. Mr. Tonkin, the present teenier curate. A few years ago • change was made in the mode of con ducting Divine wreath in the church new forms were intro duced, candlesticks were placed on the communion. table, the doctrine pr. ached were often not in ace. rdance with the arcades and homilies of our church, and a very hostile spirit and offensive bearing was shown by the clergy to that portion of the parishioners who were distentors. Many of the parishioners strongly objected to these things, and al of them remonstrated with the clergy, but without success. In the course of • few mouths many of the inhabitants ceased to attend their parish choral, some of them, at mach inconvenience to themselves, attending the churches of adjoining pariah's, and others were driven into the ranks of dbaentsre, who were already very numerous in the parish. The congregation bemuse miserably sm,ll for so populous • parish, the attendance at the National Schools fell oft, end there has long been a general feeling of dissatiafaclon amongst the parishioner,. It wag recently determined that • meetirg should be held on the subject, and the foilowing extract from a letter which I have just received from n genth man au whose statement I can pace entire confidence will show the strong and determined protestant reeling d:splayed in • country pariah; "Oa Sun day lout 1 attended service at Hew.vtli church, and observed on the church dour a notice allied by the church wardens (blerses. R. C. Former end W. Clarke) calling • meeting of the parishioners, to be held on Tuesday, the loth inst., at halt-past 5 o'olock, in the vestry, to take into consideration the mode in which Divine service was con ducted in the church. The 1f..,. Mr. Tonkin preachy; and selected ter his text the words e Ile ye no longer stiff necked,' from which he preached for about 15 minutes, and in hie sermon referred in str. rig and at waive langusge to those who were ' act mpting to disturb the peace of the chtreb, and, bring: into contanpt her ministers, arid plainly told the laity that it they did not quietly submit to the teaching of their holy mother, the church, they would be put down by the strong arm of the law. I went to the meeting on Tuesday last, the night was very dark, and when I arrived at Haworth I found the 'allege in a state of great excitement in consequence of Mr. Tonkin having locked the church doors and refused to give up the kegs is the churchwardens. People were standir g abut in groups of twenties and fifties, and I think there were about the church not less than six hundred men; there were no females. Aiter I had been in the village about 10 minutes, the rain came down in torrents, and a loud cry was raised " to bruin open the church co3r." As it was almost impossible to remain out of doors on amount of the teeming rain, I went into the village inn, and found it crowded with farmers and the principal inhabi ants of the dist-icr. There wi ro also mei rid reporters. The scene in the little inn was truly • tine one. In the room I Rea in there were about twenty peewits, nearly all of whom were sturdy farmers, o ith great mats and mutates to protect them from the ble,t; these men had loft their comfortable firesides and exposed them selves to the inelemetcy of a winter night to assert the prin ciples of the Reformed Church. Toe conversation which took place was of • high character, though 'sometimes meanly expressed. They gave utnerance to noble sentiments, and emir., sad a determination to drive l'useyism out of the parish ; their motto wee, " Reform the service, or we leave the church." The committee were deliberating is' another room, and the crowd its the street was loudly demenning ad mission into the church. W. L. Hale, E q of Crow Hell, a sMicitor of extensive practice, was firm against forc ibly obtaining admission into the church, and the chunk:- wardens and a deputruou again went to the senior route, and demanded the keys of the church to hold • legal meet ing of the parishioners called by the churchwardens ; this, however, was of no avail the curses set them at defiance. lie we, in the parsonage Louse, guarded by ten polineenet, who at 4 o'clock in the afternoon had been sent to Hewortft on the applcation of Mr. Tonkin to the magistrates. Wben the churchwardens saw that there was nu chance of getting Lob the church, they determined to hold the ntheung in the national school, and two of the trustees of the scnool went to the schoolmaster to obibin the ettys, but to titter astonishment were told that Mr. Tonkin Cad been there and got them. When this was known to the people out side ( who, for an hour and • half, had waited in expectation of a m eting), aloud cry of "shame" was raised—the commit tee were entirely nonplussed. A meeting they were deter mined to have, but where to hold It was the difficult problem they had to solve. At last, dark and wet as the night was, it was fixed to hold the meeting in the open air. It. Forster, Esq , owe of the churchwardens, was elected Chili,- man ; a candle was held up to enable the speak , rs to read the resolutions; there was something peculiarly within and impressive in this aweuoy, something which forcibly re mit& d me of days gone by when our mu/fathen so nobly struggled tor and wen that liberty which such man mblesere.

No long speeches were made, but a solemn protest was entered against the condom of their ministers. The protestant spirit was certainly evoked, emit doubtless in that assembly of plain hut resolute and determined men there were some " Village Hampdens." This, sir, is one proof amongst many of the feeling of the laity in our rural pariah's respect ing popery within the church.—l em, sir, Your obedieat servant, Lincoln's Inn, Jan. 11.
