Major Hogge was the eldest sou of the well known banker of that name at Biggleswaile, and the heir to very considerable landed property and a handsome fortune. Ile had married and retired from the active duties of his profession, when I the late Colonial Minister sought the benefit end advantage of his great knowledge and large ex perience in South Africa. But though the sacrifice was great both to himself and his family, they were at ones disregarded, and in a few days Major Hogge was ready to, sad did, proceed to the Cape. There his labours lad exertions OWE to hairs been quite iavaluable ; for wh he went he inspired confidence. In the Friend of the Orange Sorerrignty we find the following par ticulars of his lamented death, and of the respect paid to his remains when Interred' _ The lamented death, from fever, of Major Hogge, one of her Nlinesty's Aseistant. Commissioners for settling affairs on the Frontier of the Cape colony, took place at Bloemfontein, Orange River Sovereignty, on Wednesday forenoon, the 9th inst. It appears that Major Hogge bad been much exposed to min at a meeting of chiefs in Moshesh's country, on his way from Winhurg to King William's Town, since which ' time he had been almost continually on the move. It is eb ,ut 13 month■ since ha left England. We remember his riding with his colleague, Mr. Owen, into Bloemfontein, , on the evening of the 26th November, 1851 ; and little did we think that in less than seven months be would be in the grave in a land which he laboured to benefit by his practical good sense. Since the 26th of November be hes been at Wiaburg, Moshcsh's, King William's Town, Cape Town, beck to i King William's Town, and to Bloemfontein to die! He hail reached town from Smithfield on the 311th ultimo, and we had it in type that he wee suffering from fever, but on second thoughts we suppressed the intelligence, ►est his relatives in the colony should be rendered unhappy. The death of Major Hogge has certainly taken us by surprise. Circulars had been issued for an important meeting of deputies to be held at Bloemfontein on ninthly, the 21st inst., hut death has for ever sealed the lips of him who would have spoken on that occasion, if not eloquently, at least practically and sincerely. Major Hogge had a warm heart towards the been. He knew their wrongs and grievances, as well as their fault, ; but, else ! that manly, warm heart bests no more ! From personal knowledge we can speak very little of the deceamed. There was • politeness, common sense, and straightforwardness about him that prepossessed us in his favour; but there are gentlemen in Bloemfontein, who, with numerous opportunities of judging of the man, speak of him as accomplished and intelligent, and who feel his loss ea that of a friend. His loss to the sovereignty can never, we fear, be repaired. 'Tis quite an accident whether another corninimioner of equal good sense and independ ence than succeed him. We fear Major Iloggi's exposure to the sun and rain, under many dieeomterts and long &Minim during his journey on honeboth from Winburg to King Williams Town, had laid the foundation of that illness that has proved fatal to hint. The death of Major Hogge will cause a great sensation throughout the Sovereignty and throughout Africa; and if it would but alleviate in the smallest degree the agony of his bereaved widow, now in Cape Town, it may not be un- ' becoming to state that she possesses the sincerest sympathy of all classes of this distant community. The font ral took place yesterday at 11 o'clock a.m., and was attended by almost every male inhabitant of the town. The British ensign was basted half-mast on the Queen's Fort. The coon was borne to the place of interment (the military burying-ground) by the eight mee of the 12th Lateen who had as body guard attended him and Mr. Owen from the colony hither. Dr. Fraser, Mr. Eagle, se cretary to the assistant commissioner, end one servant of the deceased acted as chief mourners. The pall-bearer, were Major Warden, British Resident, H. Green, Esq., A. C. Demirel, Captain Kenyon. C.M.R., Captain Bates, 46th Regiment, Hector Lowen, FAq., Acting Civil Commis sioner, A. H. Bam, Esq., Member of Council. All the ofll. eon in garrison Isere attended in full regimentals, and the majority of the as... belonging to the 46th Regiment volun teered to walk in procession. The Rev. W. A. Steabler reed the funeral service, which was listened to by the by standers with a degree of feeling which the melancholy °c ammiest was well calculated to tacit*.

The exhibition of cattle and implements of Int. bandry of this society for the present year was held at Belford on Tuesday, in a SIN open enclosure in the vicinity of this town, belroging to the Rev. J. 1). Clarke. A portable steam engine was constantly at work, turning the circular saw, thrashing wheat, and doing a variety of other things for the satisfaction of the curious and the amusement of the idler. There were two reaping masbines. one from Croskill's (Hussey's slightly modified). anal am thee by a Mr. Dixon. of Weller, and sold to he an invention of his own. It bears great similitude 7: r« sty's, the only material difference being (apparently aa if provement, too) that the corn, as it is cut is delivered I/ I moving canvas instead of by a rake. Both attracted a MAI of attention, and a trial is to be made to-morrow of their respective merits. The morning was very favourable to the show, but to wards the middle of the day a breeze sprung up, and dense arm a of couds followed, until at last the lull toter of the stem burst immediately over the field. The place was crowded at the time. Ladies and gentlemen, cowherds, and all the various attendants rushed in together to slier* the temporary shelter of the canvass tent.. For nearly three hours were the Tinton kept huddled in the tents. The rain came down in torrents—the lightning was most vivid and awfully grand ; the thunder terrific, and it is long since we have witnessed 113 violent a storm. The exhibition was completely broken up by this visitation, and as soon as the rain permitted the diners made their way through sheets of water to the Bedford railway station, where the dinner was to be held within the goods shed, which had been very taste fully fitted up for the occasion. The dinner in the evening was under the presidency of Earl Grey, supported on his right and leR by Lord Linsine, M.P., Sir George Grey, Bart., the Hon. H. T. Liddell, Sir M. W. Nidley. Bart., Sir Walter Trevelyan, Captain Grey. the Mayor of Newcastle, de. The usual loyal and consti tutional toasts having been given. Earl GREY said he came now to the toast which was im mediately connected with the occasion of that day's meeting. He had to give them the "Northumberland Agricultural Society." (Cheers.) In doing so they would allow him in the first place to congratulate them on the prosperous con dition of the society. He thought the company he saw around him, and the meeting that took place in the field, were such as ought to give great satisfaction to every mem ber of the association. He was told by those better able to form a judgment than himself, that though the show of stock was not very numerous, it was such as to meet with the approbation of those espable of forming an opinion upon its merits. He was also glad to bear that the society was now in a state, financially, of very great prosperity, and he need hardly tell them that was one very important subject of consideration. He could not help attributing the labs , improvement in agricultural enterprise, among other cameo to the labours of this and other societies, and es of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, to whit he thought it was one of the chief claims which this society had upon the gratitude of the country, that it was s p a useful auxiliary. (Cheers.) By the efforts of sloe Society—estended as they were over the whop whatever was discovered which was valuable is ess ghee was made known to all. Men met together sad 01111111.11•11 the practices of different parts of the clinger, and thee by the means of local societies the accumulated knowledge of the whole country was generally diffused in each separate district and county. He believed there was no Meg society which had contributed m re efficiently to thessmos sof the labours of the Agrisultuial Society of England than the Northumberland County Association. The Jones* which ' this society published, and which contained ems well selected articles from the Royal Society's journal, and other artic es contributed by members of this sasociation, had been the means of diffusing much information ; and he thought upon the whole it was impossible to doubt that very mull had been done in the way of improve ment within the tut few years, especially the last five or six years. With respect, for instance, to draining as an improvement—a principle which was now con sidered almost absolutely necessary, since; few tenant farmers would take a ferns which was not well drained—he was sure they could not but remember that a dozen or more year ago instances of really effective draining were very rare indeed. Now, it was by such societies as this that the advantage and the best mode of carrying on those improve meats bad been made swoon. They all knew that when attention was first directed to draining, it was done in the most imperfect meaner ; and h e was afraid that many gen tlemen in that room had, like himself, been compelled to do ever again work which had been imperfectly executed on the notions which prevailed a few years ago. Ile believed it wee only too common to find that the drains which were laid to carry off the surface water were too shallow for that purpose, and that bad to be taken up and rebind in this end other osuatise in . It was by this and other societies that the anew principle of accomplishing those Osprey*. mute had been discovered and practically applied so exten sively. Again, with regard to impinisents, they knew that was a trade which was daily increasing in importance, with a view to provide agriculture with all the improvements which modern eeience and unrivalled skill in this country could produce. A very few yeansgo the implements:used:* 'agriculture in this county were the same that had been employed for many generations past, and various plane sines adopted for carrying on farming operations were until lately but slightly thought of. It was, therefore, he be loved, a subject of very great importance, not only to this county but to this kingdom generally, that these societies should be actively maintained, and should continue to per form the useful services which they had done. (Cheers.) Go where they would in this county they saw new and im proved outages rising up in every district, old cottages en -1 argedd and improved, and the seek of esmhet among the labourers greatly increased. That he malbsesd. was to him a subject of the greatest satishWes, because be was per suaded it was to the welfare of the agricultural and labour ing population that they ought ashen as one of the main ob jects to which all their efforts skald he directed. He had said, and he believed be bad said twdy, Weasel had been done of late years la the way of impromameat 1$ this arsuity as well as in England generally, bet be could not help my in that, though had boss done, he thought, in this minty more especially, very meek »mined to be dose.

A public meeting was held on Friday last in the Tjwa Hall, Denbigh, at which Dr. Cumming presided, and on Tuesd•7 at St. Winifred's Chapel, Holywell. The sub ject on each occasion was The Inquisition ; Ancient and Modern," and the audiences were crowded and highly re spectable. The horrors of the inquisition were fully ex posed, and the speaker, first in his native tongue and sub. sequently in English, acting as his own interpreter, de claimed It a most powerful m against the corruptions of the Itentish faith, his attitude and gestures aiding most effectively the energy and eloquence which characterised his discourse. He concluded by • forcible appeal to hie hearers to guard against the followers of Dr. Fumy, whose influence he (the speaker) feared more than be dui that of declared papists. The reverend divine was enthusiastically applauded throughout. MARIA ANTONIA RAILWAT. --Traffic for the week ending July 29,1802:-348f. 196 i, 3161. IRELAND. DUBLIN, AUGUST It.

A letter from the county of Galway would give some hopes that the fatal potato blight is halting somewhat in its progress , 'rho letter states :—" The stalks in this neighbourhood are quite healthy, although the leaves are withered for more than a fortnight; the further progress of the disease seems quits arrested, the roots having a mealy and delight ful appearance when boiled; the oat and wheat crops are far above the average." THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING. AUGUST 12. 1852. THE FATAL AFFRAY AT SIX-MILE BRIDGE. This protracted inquiry was resumed yesterday, and gave symptoms of drawing near its clue, the case for the defence having been opened and some important evidence on that side having been produced. Mr. J. C. Delme,e, for whom the coroner stated on the preceding day that he would issue a warrant, was in attendance, as was also Lieut.• Colonel Douglas, Assistant Adjutaat.General of the Limerick distinct. Mr. Coffey, eounse: for the prosecution, called for the attendance in court of the part of the 31st regiment which composed the escort, and some conversation took place on the non-attendance of the lieutenanteolonel, and the consequent non•production of the men on a former day. Mr. ora7don, counsel for the defence, assured the coroner that his instructions were to give every facility to carry on the inquiry. The Assistant Adjutrnt-General then sent an order for the escort to he marched from the camp to the court-house, and they arrived in a few minutes, under arms, and in full dress, as on the day they were MI duty. Having been drawn up, they unfixed bayonets, and were ordered to stand at ease._ Mr. Coff.y—Mr. Coroner I will now require you to re turn@ the examination or Colonel Stauntoo. Colonel Staunton wu then produced 17 Mr. Graydon. Mr. Coffey—Now, Colonel Staunton, will you point out a man to me named John Dwyer, if there be such amongst the party. Colonel Staunton proceeded to the escort and pointed out Dwyer; he also pointed out James Sharp and Thomas Clarke. • Mr. Coffey—Point out John Whitbread. Colonel Stannton—There is no such:man in the escort. Mr. Coffey —ls there any man of the name of Whit read ? Colonel Staunton—Then is, William Whitbread. The fact is, I would point them all out but I am in the hand, of counsel, and it would be paying the gentleman a very bad compliment did I not act under bia advice. There has been nothing done that we are ashamed of, or that was not the duty of soldiers or men. Mr. Coffey—You were not there, Colonel, and you cannot say. Even in the field of battle generals may differ as to the mode of attack or defence. Colonel Staunton—No doubt, sir. Mr. Coffey—Colonel, will you be pleased to point out the other men named by Mr. Cronin as having fired ? (The colonel then pointed out Corporal Carter, John (Beeson (first), James Postings, Wm. Barnes, IsaacWsston, and John Thompson. Colonel Staunton, in continuation—l cannot my bow many of these men belong to Captain Eager's company. In Limerick I examined the muskets of these men ; I did not examine the pouches. I eternised their guns and accoutre ments. Each gun is branded and each man has a parti cular number on his musket. I did not observe or examine Hooch man had his own musket. I did not examine who had fired; it was quite immaterial to me whether it was " Tim °luau,' or " John Jones," or " Paddy O'Reilly," that fired. It was an unpleasant duty, which must have fallen to some one to do. I was of that opinion at the time, and an still. lem only able to state by hear say the number of men who fired on that day. Mr. Coffey.—Are you aware from official sources ? Colonel Staunton.—Well, I think— Mr. Oraydon.—l object t• your answering that question ; any report made officially is a privileged communication, and cannot he pressed tor. (Here Colonel Staunton spoke in private to Col. Douglas and Col. Saslow, who sat behind him.) The Coroner's attention being diluted to the matter, ho said, Colonel you must remember you are a witness. Mr. D. J. Wilsos.—l beg to my, Mr. Coroner, that I was put upon that table, when under examination, and every other witarsrehould be similarly treated. Colonel Staunton then acceded the witness chair, and his examination was resumed—l did not consider it my duty as colonel of the 31st Regiment, to examine the men's muskets. To ascertain the number of any man that fired on that day. I idly aseertained.the number by general re port. I had no official report on the subject. The official report went through a higher channel. I paraded the men by order of General Firming. lam under the impression that the officer in preemie of the men said they had fired without orders. Mr. Orapies—l am ham Colonel Staunton, on behalf of the men oldie • sad it is my duty to see that you do not give illegal avidness. It is no mutter what was stated, unless stated In menses of all the men of the party. Colonel Staunton—The nes were paraded for the pur pose of inspacting and reporting on the extent of the injury they received. I heard of this occnrrence long befnre the men returned. I did not knew, as • fact, that the man had fired without orders, but I heard it. Mr. Coffey—Did you believe it ? Mr. Orayden—l object to his answering that question ; bat I wish it M be understood that Colonel Staunton does not refuse to answer the question. It is my objection. Colonel Staunton—l don't recollect examining the mus kets for the purpose of ascertaining the men of the party who had fired. _ _ Mr. Coffey—Did you in any Eons, by any nIOILUI, or under anyharg circumstances, ascertain that any muskets had beendis ced ? Colonel Stalinism said he did not recollect Mr. Coffey—Did you speak to the men nue this ? Colonel Staantoo—l did ; and I am of.the one opinion, that under the eireamstaame they only discharged their duty.

Mr. Coffey—lt might be well to inform this gectlentan that if he was with the party who fired he ought to be cau tious of what he states. lir:MeaWe-1;;;;Uite satisfied to abide by whatever I say. There was no not or disturbance at Thomond.gate; and when the Totem got upon the can we drove on until we met the other car with the soldiers. On the road half way from Limerick we met a gentleman in a gig, who groaned as, and said, "Look at the convicts." lie passed us out. We were paused by a second car with two in it, and they made use of a similar obsertation, with the addi tion that se would catch it going into the bridge. We were met by a third car near the bridge, and the persons In it told us the bridge of the town would be ripped up, and that we never would get into the place with our lives. There were four covered ears and an outside ear in eur pro cession. I was only once in the bridge before that day. We took the left hand side of the road. Saw the Mee. Mr. Bourke war the bridge that day. I didn't know his name at the time. I saw him la the Court. ho use afterwards. 1 beard the people as we passed call out the vows by name, four or five eddies, that when they would not have the soldiers to hrotect them they'd murder them. Heard the voices of undreds sty out " Here is Keane, the devil's man," "Keane, the anthers' man." There were hundreds of Owasso& there. Another man's name was mentioned far murder when this soldiers would not be present, and the Rev. Mr. Bourke raised a short whip in his hand and said, "Be quiet, boys, be quiet." I subsequently beard the Rev. Mr. Bourke say, "Rescue Keane 's men, rescue Keane 's men." I was then within three feet of Mr. Bourke, at tee side of the chapel. Upon Mr. Bourke saying so, some cried out, "The boys are gone round," There were a few stones pelted front of the ear. I turned round and looked Mr. Bourke in the face, and stamped my right foot. lie didn't know me. I think if he did the work would commence sooner. The reason I think so, there was such crying out for " Keane the devil," Ana " Keane the souper." 'there were no stones of • serious nature thrown up to this time. Opposite to the chapel two men came to the cars to pull out the freeholders, and Ipushed them off. The people I rushed at me, and • soldier came to my protection. the soldier appeared annoyed, and swore he would stick the first that broke in upon his line. The Rev. Mr. Bourke caught hold of the soldier by the neck, and be said some thing about striking him and the men that were with him. I also saw him catch another soldier either by the gun or arm. I ran round to the captain of the company, and told him that one of his men had ores grossly 'wailed, and that unless he did something, there would be bad work, as it was commencing in the rear. He did not look at me, hut replied be had enough to do where he was, and to go hack and tell the other officer. When I reached the place I left, than was no trace of the soldier I have alluded to. The Bev. Mr. Bourke was there, and I heard him say either "Stand to your religion, boys," or " Fight for your reli gion," but can't 'ay which. There was a roar at the time from hundreds of voices, and men jumped up, whirling sticks in their hands, and crying uut, " Fight for your reli gion." Before that I saw Mr. Bourke go to three or four of he cars, and heard him ask were they going to vote against their religion. When we got within • perch of the Chapel lane, there was • rush at the ears, and several persons jumped over the wall into the barley-field. There were four or five attempts made by parties to drag the freehold ers off the cars, and I tried to jostle them with my shoul ders. The military assisted me twice. They did not let the men that I put back come inside their lineage. The first place the military assisted me was when Mr. Bourke had the soldier by the neck. The second occasion was near the dung-heap at the corner of the lane, where several pelts(' at the soldier who assisted me. There was a woman there. The soldier was hit upon the neck or thereabouts, and fell forwards towards the wall of the field where the stone came from. I made a run for the stone which struck lam. It was five inches long, tour wide, and two thick. I scald see well all that was passing in front. While I was run for the stone that struck the soldier I saw two men run at the ear I left and pull • man half way out. I gave one of the men • boa os a push, and knocked him against the wall at the other aide. There were then three or four stones pelted at me ; two of them hit the leaf of my hat, and raised it • little off my head. I didn't see who pelted these stones, hut they came from behind. Two stones were thrown into one of the can, and I heard them strike the back where the driver sits. 1 took the number of the car. Stone throwing was very brisk by the people from the sides pelting towards the front. A few seconds after the three stones were pelted at me I heard a shot. 1 kept my ground behind the cars. The accession moved on slowly• it wu several times checked in progress. When the stones were Strewn at me there was • cheek of some seconds. I saw • lewd of six or seven in • small space in the barley-field pelt lag. The wall was well lined over them. The people in the barley field were pelting. There was a row of people on the Tall, with brake between them. I think the s:ones were Strewn with violence. One stone hit one of their own men and hawked him down, or rather stumbled him. Another was broken against the wall. After going forward seven or eight yards (after the first shot was tired), I heard five or eta more fired. I saw three men fall. I saw their party pelting ,before ;they were shot, that is, I saw seven or eight men pelting, and of these three fell. My voters were running away and I followed them, put my hands around them, and brought them back. I pushed them on in the direction of where the other soldiers were. and who had theiz guns pointed up. I did not know I wan le near the court-house at the time. I saw a tektite= apparently dead on th• road. I saw three men go towards the soldiers one after the other—the first carded something in his hands, and I saw him go over to the soldier, and with both his hands strike him, es 1 thought, a desperate blow upon the head. I law a second man slut strike the soldier about the neck. He put his hand down as low as the soldier's neck. I saw two soldiers run up to the man who was in the act of beating their comrade, and one of them stabbed him with a bayo net. The man that first struck the soldier was in the set of running away. He first tamed to the right of the court house, and then up the road to the left. The soldier made • thrust of the bayonet at him. The soldier who was lying down could not have been knocked down at the time the first shot was fired, for I passed the place three or four times without seeing him. I don't think there was any shot fired after the bayonet charge. I know the lives of the party were in imminent danger when the first shot was find. I considered it so from the stone throwing. Being six o'clock, the court adjourned till next day. IMACTARIAN SCANDAL. TO TIII MOTOR OF THI DAILT KIWI.
