chairman said a rule regarding one of the other county psi aoae had been 'Omitted to the Secretary of State, in which th. term e legal adviser was inserted. It certainly was an indefinite term, and Sir George Grey had intimated what it was to imply. He then read a letter from Sir George Grey, which stated that " by the term legal adviser is to be ae d ie repod, a certificated attorney or his authorised clerk." m r . Botch moved that the words " That is, • certificated a tt o rney, or his authorised clerk," should be inserted in Bale '24 for the new prison, immediately after the words adviser." A propos of this he (Mr. Butch) would cell the attention of the court to a letter referring to the same subject, which was in the News of that morning. It was an article with the views of which he did—and he believed the whole court would—fully coincide. The writer eery ably dwelt upon the iniquitous system practised upon prisoners and their friends, by a set of fellows who pre tended to be legal practitioners, and who under that guise extorted money in the most shameful and barefaced mintier. They prowled about this and other criminal courts, and would Tepees:Fit to a prisoner's friends that there was • flaw in an t e aktment which would secure an acquittal (although they had never set eyes upon it), And they deluded them by saying that for three or four pounds they gould set the prisoner at liberty ; and too often they suc ceeded in getting the mo n ey; but, as might be ex pected, they afforded the prisoner ao aid whatever. By this means poor people who had the misfortune to find A relative in trouble, were robbed—tortured to distraction oho they saw they had been deceived—and wives, mothers, aad sisters, were generally the victims of this cruel and heart lei• system of fraud. The writer in the Daily News urged the magistrates to do something to remedy so crying an evil. ea suggested that there should be power to tax the costs of the defence as well as of the prosecution. Of such 112(41111le as that he (Mr. Botch) should fully approve. He had mentioned the subject to Mr. Charles Peirsen, hi I'., and he conaurred in it, too, and expressed his wil lingness to introduce a bill to that effect into parliament, providing the magistrates would draw one up. Ile fully believed that by such • power much misery and ruin would be spared the friends of unfortunate prisoners. But it was a difficult matter ; and were the magistrates to take upon them the choosing of respectable professional men to watch the interests of prisoners, the public feeling would be that they bad pose under-motive in so doing. At all events, he hoped the public would learn through the regular and legitimate channel that the magistrates of this county were resolved to put a stay to such a system as prevailed now. Ile suggested that, as an experiment, a list of respect able legal practitioners should be kept at the New County Prison, from which the prisoners should be left to select their advisers. The list should be open to the profession, and rigid care should be taken that none but the names of re spectable perms were entered, and that they should Rot remain after say act of misconduct had rendered them inch frible. This suggestion received the cordial approval of the mart, and the proposition was unanimously adopted. No other business was transacted, and the court adjourned.

SERIOUS CII.tRGE AGAINST A BARRlnTEß.—Yenter day, information was forwarded to the various police-stations that a member of the Iri,h bar, lately occupying chambers in Bymonds'•inn, Chancery-lane, had absconded, in consequence of true bills having been found against him for perjury end conspiracy, and a reward has been offered for his appre hension. MARTLERONE DISTRICT COUNTY COURT.—Sir,-- In your paper of to-day, Professor Amos, judge of the Mary lebone District C , unty Court, is reported to have stated that he should " in future commit debtors who disobeyed orders of the court to the House of Correction, where they would wear the prison dress, and be treated as criminals." The 99th section of the statute 9 & 10 Viet, cap. 95, certainly gives power to commit to the common gaol or House of Cor rection, but gives no direction ►s to the parties committed being treated "as criminals." That would, I apprehend, be importing a power into the statute not granted by parlia ment. If any debtor he so treated, he ought immediately to apply for a writ of habeas corpse, so the judges of the su perior courts will never countenance severity of an ins proper nature; and it would be monstrous to imprison a small debtor as a criminal, while large debtors may get 1 whitewaahel under an set pissed only last session, without going veto custody at aft !—A LAWTER.-City, Sept. 10. FIRE IN THE Iit..tCEFRIARS-ROAD. —Last night, stoat a quarter-past ten o'clock, a fire broke out in the midst of a large clump of wooden premises, situate in Crows street, Blackfriars-road. That part in which the fire began was in the occupation of Mr. Nash, a cooper. From vie highly combustible nature of the stock in trade, hardly five minutes had elapsed before the cooperage and all it contained were wrapped in flames. Engines quickly arrived, and be fore eleven o'clock the flames were entirely extinguished, not, however, until the cooperage was levelled with the ground, and the content• destroyed. The surrounding buildings, owing to the exertions of the firemen, escaped with trifling damage. The sufferer, it is understood, was uninsured, but the building was protected by a policy in the West of England office. PROTECTIONIST MISQUOTATIONS. SlR,—The influence of the press in every country, but in none perhaps to such an extent as in this, renders it of the greatest importance that only candid and authentic statements should be made in the public journals. I must say ttuit such is the general rule in this country, and that there are few who are led intentionally or willingly into errors or misrepresentations; although, even wi..h the greatest caution, the most correct cannot be expected to be Infallible.

(From the Daily News.) We have taken the liberty to suppress a few jokes with which the writer of the following letter had inter spersed his remarks. They were bitter bad, and though they lad be of the beet quality they were misplaced. In whatever light it may appear to Mr. Burnand, the question is no joke to the settlers ; nor will it ultimately prove a joke to any parties who may be convicted on the one band of denyuur Justte, or on the other of advancing false or even rash accusations. Some doubts and some remarks which his letter has saggeeted will be found appended in the form of notes. . 7 i7:—The good old practice of not condemning a me ataAsard or unanswered will induce you as a lacer of fair Pi, to give insertion to the few observation' I shall have need to make on the introduction into the columns of your gaper of the 27th of August, :11st of Augast, and 2nd of ter, under the head of 'New Zealand—The Cook's Straits Settles.' " It is not my intention to attempt to vindicate the di rectors of the New Zealand Company (1), as every one con versant with the high reputation of that body among their fellow-citizens of London will consider that absolutely linnet-es ear7 ; but there are many thousands wholly ignorant of their Orinte virtue or public worth who may read the documents referred to, which I can freely deecribeu containing aspersions unbecoming those who hare largely benefited by that whose acts they are repudiating—a body of gentlemen who were able to withstand the machinations of • power(el minister and • strong government to p the cokniaation of New Zealand, and induced the legislature to redress their wrongs and change the fatal policy so lung and loudly condemned by the press. " I am much in the situation of the complainants (2), being • Cook's Straits laud order ho:der, with indifferent selection, free from any ether connexion with the company, it might therefore, he inferred that I would gladly join this league to take my chance of what might turn up, bad I not the con scious feeling that taking part in such an attack would he 54 ungenerous as I conceive it dishonourable, against a body of gentlemen who may with greater truth and justice be charged with an over ansicty to promote the interests of those they sent out as colonists to their own par ticular gain. Can it ever receive the credit of any sane parses, that men of such high cheater,- ter and reputation should be guilty of suppressing let• ters addressed to them on matters of such serious charges as -here brought forward ? Of the 500 letters sent over for cir culation among the proprietors and holders of land orders in New Zealand it is difficult to know what has become of them or to whom addressed. Many have been asked this ques tion, large holders and well known to the colonists, who ac knowledge their ignorant), of any such document, which, had it reached them, would in all probability have led to an immediate iuquiry. (3) Is it usual with persons having so strong • case for relief to prefer the columns of a newspaper to • court of equity ? (4) There are other ends to answer than what here meets the eye, as will appear manifest. A connexion of many years with the Australian colonies, and New Zealand in particular, may jusify any observations that follow from a knowledge of the facts. " When the first meeting of purchasers assembled at the I company's offices, the terms of the sale of land orders in New ' Zealand, which had been long previously published, were read and agreed to before the ballot took place which was to determine the order of choice for the se lection of the land in the colony, atter the districts had been surveyed. (5) These terms were wonted to, by payment of their money in exchange for the land orders iaued, which expressed in terms easily under ' stood, the quantity, quality, and nature of the title the directors pledged themselves to give tt, the holders, and ex pressly provided that they would only be responsible to deliver such titles as they received, which they guaranteed should be the best that either they or their agents could procure ; and every one conversant with New Zealand affairs during the last six years must he sivisfied the directors have fearlessly and honestly discharged the obligation imposed on them as a sacred duty on behalf of those seat oat to the colon)' ;he directors are charged with unwise precipitancy in founding their settlements, and hence the ruin to them selves and their colonists. Such was the furore for join ing the first expedition some months after " the Tory " had sailed with the surveying staff, that it was impossible to restrain it, although the directors wisely foresaw in attempting to do so, New Zealand would be in the hands of the French government ; that trouble of a more serieus nature would result from the delay recom mended, via., until despatches were received from Col. Wakefield. Besides this, they had the hostility of pur own government to avoid, who, at the time, threatened to inter fere whenever they heard of the directors taking active mea sures for any fresh settlement. What would have been the position of the parties had the directors not succeeded? Un utterable ruin . All this they knew before quitting . these shores ; and yet because the quality of some selecuons of land does not come up to their expectation, here is a long yarn about false promises, broken engagements, and distressing remit ts. _ _ . " Immediarely on the arrival of the first colonists, 20. acre sections of occupation land were gives to each settler to get his crops in, as well as to enable parties to scour the country and penetrate the wilderness is search of a happy valley for themselves. Ne sooner did they return and report a good district, than every effort was made to explore and survey it, and make it available for those on the spot. I say, without fear of contradiction, that if they did not have good land the fault was their own ; that no other compul sion was ever exercised but what they had formed to prevent jealousy or unfair deal.ng, by agreement th►t as each district was thrown open after survey a certain order of choice fol lowed, which they exercised. In what way can the directors or their agents be held responsible for their conventional acts ? My sections are net good land; but what right have I to com plain ? My agent urged the surveyors not to be driven with such haute by the settlers to cut the lines ; it was of no avail, land they would have, good, bad, or indifferent. They preferred their own judgment; and the agent, for complying thereto, has fixed his principals with further responsibility, heartlessness, breach of contract and trust, compensation, or chancery. Lord John Russell's agreement of 1840 with the directors, limited the further selection of Janis to six months after his instructions had been notified by the governor. So ILliiol.ll was the principal agent to obtain good selections, that on representing the shortness of the time prescribed for the duty, the director' waited on Lord Stan ley, and obtained an extension. Dies this or any part of the arduous duty committed to their charge savour of rapacity, or • desire to do anything that would not lead to the general welfare of all and every member of the comniu ni:y throw/trout New Zealand Your twelfth paragraph of the paper published 31st August, states, " That notwith standing better districts were known to exist, containing rich and extensive valleys, they were not made available to the land order holders, and therefore their interests are again damaged, referring to the Wairarapa." Now, Sir, it is generally and 'stood that before the close of 1842 all land orders were satisfied; before the existence of this extensive and valuable country was known. It was discovered ' accidentally, in June, 184; by Mr. Surveyor Ket tle and his party on trying to force their way through the mountains in search of a freehand fertile country. They succeeded and made their report; the richness and beauty of this valley tempted them—they looked on it with a longing eye, and regretted the opportunity was lost to set tle the , e. A chance was still open ; if they could find any one bold enough to charge the directors with evasion and violation of their contract, that could bully them into acqui. eacence, they should succeed, and the prise was their own. The directors have proved to the world they are not the men to be intimidated into measures contrary to their sense of duty. Will it be supposed that men who could resist a powerful and talented minister from aggression, would succumb to threats of this nature ? By way of shortening my narrative, and comforting the complainants, I will give you the opinion of (what Sir Robert Peel consi dered, in the late debate on Lord Lincoln's motion, the meet competent authority to judge on maters of colonisation) Earl Grey : in his instructions to the Governor of New Zealand, he says, " The company's settlers should not forget the views on which they originally emigrated, or fail to per ceive that their own welfare and prosperity are vitally in terested in maintaining the sound principle of colonisation on which their settlements were founded. Nor is the main tenance of this principle inconsistent with the adoption of • mode of selling land, which shall give every proper facility to the original settlers to extend their holding', or to their being permitted also occupation of land for pastoral purposes upon easy terms." As regards compensation, about which the complainants are so uproarious, let us see what may be considered best by those of long experience and great foresight. "The recant acts of Earl Grey, in enabling the directors of the New Zealand Company to renew their colonising operations immediately, will have the effect of increasing considerably the value and security of the property already acquired by the original settlers, and their interests will thus, in the opinion of her Majesty's government, be more effec tually promoted than by any other means of compensation which could have been adopted, since the effect of renewing colonisation, in augmenting the value of their lands, will be certain and immediate." The company claimed compensation from Lsrd Stanley, in 1843, for thwarting their operations, and withholding what they had engaged to do with the New Zealand Company, and bad the power to perform, but would not. Whereas the directors have, on all occasions, laboured hard and anxiously with their adenine to secure them good titles to the best land within their knowledge ; they have, in truth, been fighting the last six years for the private cud constitu tional rights of those who have the hardihood, now they have succeeded, to upbraid them with matters ever w they had no control, and their chief desire that every settler on their estates should be satisfied . I hope they will livelong enough as I thiak they must, to deeply regret their ungrate ful production. Now as regards the article inserted 2nd Sept., which is conceived to be the most important charge of all they have attempted, by assuming a breach of trust against the directors, I shall endeavour to show that it is a fallacious imposition. The New Zealand Company, as originally formed, sub scribed 100,0001. (6), with which they purchased twenty million acres of land from the native chiefs, who had been declared by the British government an independent nation, under her protection. la order to put an end to a difficulty that here presented itself. Lord John Russell proposed to the company, in Nov., 1840, that on their surrendering all right and title to the said lands, they should have secured to them four acres for every pound sterling they proved to have expended fo d l r ci a blic purposes in carrying out settlers, making roads and bri , public works and surveys, & c., thus form ing a sten whereby their utility to the state and title should be established. This arrangement never had the slightest reference to the colonists, which they try hard to graft on their conditions of agreement. It will follow that to the subscribers of the capital, the directors were responsible for all the land they acquired —to the colonists the directors were to deliver an acre of land when they obtained their grant for every 11. sterling paid to them which they or their agents have selected. Simple as th s understanding appears, it is in 1847 under stood to mean tAree ecru for every pound sterling. It is true we live in strange times, and this case may present for the future the advantages of special pleading ; it is advocated with inch an earnest desire of maintaining the position, that gives it rather a eerio-comic turn—if the directors are not inclined to Jo this, surely they will not refuse it as a re demption for their personal risk ! As well might the offi cers of the British army lay claim to an equal distribution of all the spoil they acquired in a campaign, forsooth, because lthey purchased their commissions, urging as their title pee sons' risk and the blood of their fellow-country-men. dull conclude by adverting to the 16th paragraph of the same artkie, for the probable intentions of Lord J. Russell in entering into the agreement of 1840: " that it was pro posed by government to apply to all other subjects of the crown the rule to which the New Zealand Company would be subject, in respect to lands claimed by them within the colony, via., for every pound sterling shown to hare bean expended in the way above prescribed, which shall only apply to those who had acquired lands previous to the sth of hi. nuary, 1840." It would be found very difficult for these complainants to prove any such title. The intention of the colonial minister was clearly an inducement to large landed proprietors in this country to remove their surplus tenantry by their own tam* and did in no way refer to those persons whose expenses were defrayed from the proceed, of the sale of lands belong ing to other person+, purchased long previous, some of it many years before the sailing of the first colony, under which they claim an interest.—Yours, W. H. Demean°, 2, Boyle-street, Burlington-gardens. (I) Mr. B. is rather premature in taking up the defence of the directors in • letter purporting to contain observations on our introductory remarks only, seeing that we have said neither good nor ill of these gentlemen. But as hia Naming panegyne on their "private virtue" as well as their "public worth," may perhaps be of use to him in that quarter, we allow the passage to stand. (2) Mr. B. does not appear to be quite in the situation of the complainants. They are actual settlers who have gone out to New Zealand carrying their capital with them, which they have seen wasting away during the years that they have been unable to turn it to amount; he seems-to Lace bought some land in New Zealand, and waited snugly at home until the progress of settlement should without any labour of his own render it • source of income or worth selling. Ile has risked hie guinea per acre; they their whole fortunes and personal safeties. (3) There is something excessively mysterious about these 500 lettere. Our first correspondent, in what he, like Mr. 8., calls a defence of the directors, while both look more like personal attacks Oa the settlers, declares that he easily pro cured one. Mr. 8., like ourselves, and according to him, many others, found this impossible. We wish Mr. Carring ton, or the " great unknown, ' the "ci-elettant colonist," to whom he confided the fact of the 500 letters having been distri buted by post, would enlighten th, public on this point. Mr. B.'s statement increases the suspicion that somehow or other these letters have been suppressed by whom we have never pretended to say, nor is it a matter of the slightest conse quence. If they hale been suppressed by the parties to whom they were entrusted for circulation, so much the more necessity was there for publicity being given to the docu ment in the columns of the Daily News. (4) The most common thing in the world when the ease is one better fitted for arbitration on the principles of common sense, than for the judgment of • court which, though called of equ?ty, is as much fettered by legsl precedents and forms as the courts of common law. The most common thing in the world when • poor party has to contend with a • wealthy. It we+ the judicious course of the directors of the ' New Zealand Company in their struggle with the Colonial office. The settlers only follow the example set them. (5) There is a point here on which some explanation is desirable. When the transaction above mentioned took place, , neither party was certain that government would recognise the compact. The risk they incurred was common. Since that, government has recognised the compact, and to • certain extent made compensation. Is that compensation to i he enjoyed exclusively by one of the panics who underwent i the risk ? nr are both to participate ? Are the directors to ' have all ? or are the settlers to have a share ? (6) Here also some further information is wanted which, no doubt, Mr. H., who is so completely au fait of these matters, can give us. Of this 100,000 f. subeentoed, how much boo been paid up ? Of the " pounds sterling expended for pub lic purposes in carrying out settlers, &e." how much came out ol the pockets of the company's shareholders—and how much out of the pockets of the purchasers of land ? If the whole capital of the company has been paid up, if none of the purchase money has been included in the accounts handed into government, Mr. B.'s argument is strong. But, in so far as the directors may have been expending the money they received as purchase money fur land, the settlers appear to have a claim to participate in what has been conceded for the expenditure of that money. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 11, 1847. IRELAND. DUBLIN, SIPT. 9. The Lords of the Admiralty arrived in Kingstown harbour yesterday from Cork, and proceeded at once Ito the vice-regal lodge, where they were entertained 'by the Lord Lieutenant. Much as their lordships were pleased with Cork, the good citizens do not reci procate. The amount of good promised by the First Lord has not come up to their expectations. The unions still proclaim their reluctance to come ander the relief rating. That the rate-payers are in a difficult position cannot be divuted ; but the more promptly they undertake their own extrication by'' self-reliance and exertion the sooner will the storm of adversity blow over. The last of the murmurers are the Enniscorthy guardians, and they appear inclined, to the llonnteaslael and Enniskillen mode of thinking. The history of their proceedings is this :—On the 23rd of July, while Lord Carew presided, theessistant coin missioner recommended a rate, which would include the amount of in-door and out-door relief together with the proportion of the instalments. There was discon tent and discussion,which ended in the imposition ofan inadequate rate. On the 27th of August another meeting took place, when a letter was read from the poor-law commissioners of a very considerate cha racter; but the guardians could not consent to the whole rate required, and a unanimous resolution was passed, demanding further time, with a declaration that " any attempt to enforce that amount would be attended with dangerous consequences to the admi nistration of the poor laws, and the peace and wel fare of society." The meeting closed with a memo rial to the Earl of Clarendon, requesting a postpone ment of the rate in prmsento. On the 3rd inst. Mr. Redington replied that " the guardians will, on re consideration, feel the obligation which rests upon them of fulfilling the engagements into which they have entered." Closely following Mr. Redington's letter came another from the chief clerk of the poor law commission, demanding the imposition of the three shillings in the pound, or the commissioners must adopt the alternative contained in the 13th section of the Relief Extension Act. Much animated discussion followed these bitter communications, when another memorial to his excellency was agreed to, requesting to be allowed "at least a reasonable time " for repay ment of the loans. So stands the matter at present. The ease of Michael Duignan has been warmly taken up by the north union board of guardians, who only express the general feeling of the citizens. A .l deputation had been moved for to wait upon Sir W. Somerville, and, through him, to convey to the go vernment the necessity of an inquiry, with a view to the prosecution of the Rochdale authorities. This was set aside, on the suggestion of the Lord Mayor, and a resolution to the same effect adopted. Imme- ' diately after the inquest the Lokel Mayor waited on the chief and under secretaries, who declared " the anxiety of the government that every measure regard ing it which justice demands shall be adopted with promptitude and vigour." His lordship also for warded to :the authorities, a full statement of the facts, whose receipt Sir W. Somerville acknowledges, and also states that he had, at the request of the Lord- Lieutenant, despatched the entice proceedings to Sir George Grey, requiring an investigation to be made into all the circumstances of " this fearful event." Our Lord Mayor has also communicated with the chief magistrate of Rochdale, Mr. Clement Royds, who, from his reply, appears fully . sensible of the importance of the case. The following is the reso lution unanimously adopted by the board, whose conduct has been quite temperate, under strong provocation : Revolve:l,—MM it be most reepectfully conveyed, through her Majesty'. Chief Secretary for Ireland, that the members of this board l i feel it their duty to call upon bar Majesty'. government to take such step. as will bring the condors of the Koch& poor-law dicers, in the removal of the two paupers who perished on board the Ducheas Kent, immediately under the CONEWSZIOO of the law officers of the crown, with • . 1181, 19 their prroareution. The Islam, a vessel chartered by the Society of Friends in Philadelphia with free food to Galway, has been seized there by the Custom-house officers. The affair wears a somewhat harsh appearance, and manifests a clumsiness upon the part of the customs authorities of Galway which it is to be hoped will not " raise the dander" of Brother Jonathan. The tobacco was duly reported to the customs when the vessel arrived. It was for ship's use, and, as the captain stated, for the nee of such emigrants as should sail with him on his return. He held the tobacco under lock. The officers caused its removal from the locker, not to the customs stores, but to another part of the ' vessel, where it was left exposed to plunder, being protected only by the customs seals. A s might be anticipated, those seals proved no protection— the tobacco was taken from the vessel, and then the customs officers declared her under seizure. Surely the way would have been to seal the captain's lockers, or to remove the tobacco to shore, more especially as there was no customs officer on board. In the pre sent aspect of the affair the proceedings on the part of those western officials seems particularly stupid. Government have ordered an inquiry into the pro ceedings connected with the late Sligo election, on the 20th inst. The assessor will be Mr. Henry Baldwin, QC., a barrister of considerable eminence. OUTRAGE/I.—The Limerick Chronicle of to-day records one or two outrages of a grave character. The bailiff of a gentleman in Clare was tired at a few days since, and wounded in the abdomen. The other case relates to the rescue of cattle seised for poor-rates, and manifests • disposi tion to resistance of a very unpleasant character. The cattle were the property of considerable fanners, and they assisted in the rescue. They were !summoned before the magistrates, and, meantime, the cattle having been again seised, with the aid of the police, were again rescued, notwithstan ding their presence. This disposition must be subdued, and could at once be remedied, if government levied the rate in the first instance off the landlords. _ Lear La noiseas.—lt is dated that a contractor on some public work near Limerick a few days since proposed to engage 20 labourers, preparatory to affording labour to about 200. The labourers were offered Is. per day, the harvest wages in the district being Bd. to 10d. This was refused ; nothing less than Is. Eld. would be taken, end the full num ber should be immediately engaged. Of course the con tractor would not submit to this arrangement, and the catholic pleat of the district, after soundly rating the idlers, ended by refusing rations to the families of every recusant who happened to be on the relief lists Ma. Stains O'Bittates severance from the local repealer* of the county he represents seems to be more decided every day. At a recent meeting of the Liberal Club, a vote WSJ CVthat he no longer pos sesse d th e con fid ence o f th at that he was returned by the tories, and belonged to them, es out of 600 repeslers voting at the late election he was supported by 142 only. POOR-LAW RINIOTAL Resrvr*.—Another case of death by removal of a poor Irish labourer MO occurred. This time the harshness was named by the proceedings of some parish officers in Scotland. The man who has died in this manner was annually accustomed to proceed from Dromara, county Antrim, to Scotland, to cut the harvest. While then this year he took fever, and was sent in custody of an officer to Ireland as .• a dangerous lunatic." When he arrived in Ireland it was not known he was ill of fever, and not insane, and consequently was not treated properly, in consequence of which he died. The jury, says the Barmer of 'later, expressed their disapproval of the conduct of the parties who sent him while in a state of fever from Scotland. QUACKS .—A brace of quack doctors have been consigned to gaol at Ferbane, in the King's County, by the verdict of a coroner's jury. A poor man was attacked with pleurisy, and one of the quacks was called in to let him blood. In the operation au artery was punctured, from which, in a few days, the blood burst. The second was then called in, and completed what the other had left uneffected—the man died. SCOTLAND. EDINBURGH, SEPT. 9. The election of Scotch peers yesterday finished too near post time to admit of anything in the way of remark. The Edinburgh public do not acquiesce in the slight so distinctly cast on the gallant veteran in whose case much of the interest of the day centred. Glancing along the narrow crimson table of the picture chamber, no one sat there who will live on the page of history save the Earl of Dundonald. Had there been only two or three Scotch peers elected their lordships might have been excused for overlooking the claims of any given party ; but when sixteen ' have to be .selected out of thirty-nine hereditary barons, it is abundantly obvious that a sprinkling of nobodies must be chosen, and that, in consequence, no great difficulty could have been experienced in setting the claims of one such nobleman aside, and inserting in his place another who stands so much in need of national compliment. Were the Earl of Dundonald's rejection the result of calm inquiry into his history the feeling of regret might be mitigated, but it is much to be feared that the Scotch peers have taken a hasty and conventional view of the chequered life of Lord Cochrane. Many of them are grey-haired men, and with their associa tions they may not precisely be the parties to unravel with a steady hand the entangled records of the doings of an ingenious, but ardent mind, bold to recklessness, new above the water, now below it, now a declamatory candidate for Westminster, side by side with Sir Francis Burdett, then implicated in a stock exchange fraud, sentenced to the pillory, expelled the House of Commons, imprisoned in the King's Bench, stripped of his knighthood ; then a fugitive from prison, another fine; out of prison, and again in parliament with a Spitalfields petition of 21,000 sig natures, praying for universal suffrage, when it was little better than felony to speak of parliamentary reform. No matter that Ellen borough was his judge, that his fine was paid by penny subscription, that he commanded the Chilian expedition, and fought for Greece, or that William IV. restoied his naval honours. He has been under a cloud, and those so cir cumstanced must look to posterity, not their contem poraries. Rumour also has it that he did not stand in time for a representative peerage, and willing to re ceive all apologies for an act not graceful, let due weight be attached to this explanation by those who can do so. The Glasgow Courier supplies some additional in formation regarding the recent failures: The stoppage of Mows. Deans and Co., to wbkh we alluded In our last, lute been corthrmed. this house, which has long held a respectable position in the grain trade, is said to hold largely the acceptance. of Leaky ketander and Co., of London. The re sponsibilities Bare estimated at 112,0004, and the meets at 73,0001. Another respectable firm--tke Bothwell-strect Stunning Oxithany, of which Mr. Manbew Tendon is the sole partner—has also come down to the amount, it la read, of upwards of 30,000 t. They waning im mediately after the stoppage of Gernmill, Brother, and Gray and liotherghs in Greenock, hare caused considerable depression and gloom in business. The same paper adds, that, as might be expected in times of such critical commerce, wicked rumours are circulated against parties of undoubted stability, and that, to stop them, legal proceedings are in several cases threatened. In Leith, we are glad to say, the merchants are all keeping firm. As an instance of the extreme drought of the season, it may be mentioned that the Tay, which pouts more water into the sea than any other river in Scotland, is just now lower than it ever was known to be before. Only about half an inch of rain has fallen in the vicinity of its basin since July. Most of its smaller tributaries are dry, and as mill-power cannot be got oftener than an hour or two a day, the proverbial equanimity of the jolly millers has been somewhat disturbed. _ As affording some prospect of diminishing marine disaster, it is worthy of notice that since the institu tion by the Board of Trade of a board of examiners at Leith, for masters and mates, in the merchant service, eight persons have passed voluntary examinations with great credit. Should their diplomas enable them to receive superior situations, examination will in time prove the rule, not the exception. Posts or Wiorowie AND DVMFRIES.—The Lords Com missioner' of the Treasury appoint, by the Gazette of last ' evening, new boundaries to the ports of Wigtown and Duos- fries, " in that part of the United Kingdom called Scot land." The limas of the port of Wigtown are to commence at the eouth side of Gillespie Burn-foot, the bottom of the bay ef Glenluce, in Wigtownihire, and from thence to Bur rowhead, in the said county, and from Burrowhead in a supposed direct line to the burn or rivulet called Kirk An drew's Burn, which discharges itself into Kirk Andrew's 1 Bev, in the county of Kirkcudbright, including the whole of Wigtown Bay to the north-west of such supposed direct line, with Wigtown. Creetown, and Gatehouse. The limits of the port of Dumfries will commence at the burn or rivulet ' called Kirk Andrew's Burn, and continue thence along the coast to Southerners Point, and from Southerners Point up I the middle of Solway Firth, to the entrance of the river or water of Sark. The commissioners further declare that the ' limits, seaward of the said ports, shall extend to a distance of three miles from low-water mark out to sea, and shall in chide all bays, harbours, rivers, and creeks within the same respectively. All the former limits of the ports of Dumfries , and Wigtown are annulled. Taos TWO GINTLIMEN TorND DEAD. We have I already noticed that two gentlemen were found dead in Lochaber. Since then we have learned the following par- ticulars :—The spot where they were found dead lies half way between Kinlochleven, distant fourteen miles, and La- I rochmore, 9 miles from Fort William. They were discovered about day-break by a shepherd lad, who had been during the 1 whole of the preceding evening and night herding sheep in the immediate vicinity of the spot, passing it several tame" during the night within a few hundred yards, but who, not , withstanding, neither saw nor heard anything to attract his attention till he discovered them. The bodies lay quite close , to each other in a very exposed situation, in a wet, spongy moss, about four yards below the road. They were dressed as travellers, each having a small knapsack on his back. A , small pocket spirit-flask, quite empty, a cep, and a Mackin- . seeh cape, were found near them. There was not the slightest signs of violence on their persons, or of struggling , on the ground ; and the appearance and expression of their countenances was so placid and serene, that at first the j shepherd thought they were merely asleep, but, on examination, he found they slept the sleep of death. The shepherd having communicated the mournful intel ligence to his master, who joined him shortly after dawn, Information was sent to Fort William , and the bodies were carefully removed to the inn at Lirochraore, where they were taken in charge by the authorities, and conveyed to , Fort William. On Friday an inspection was made by Dea I Kennedy and Crichton, who were of opinion that the soar tunate gentlemen met their deaths from exhisostiem nod cold, having apparently fallen asleep on the imemateht I during the previous boisterous night. An investigation was immediately set on foot by the sheriff and procurator fiscal, from which, as well as from documents found on the perms of the unfortunate gentlemen, we learn that the follow tag facts were elicited: The elder gentleman, Mr. W. H. Whitburn, brewer in Esher, Sarrey, left Lon don by the Royal Victoria steamer, from St. Katharine's dock, on Wednesday, the 25th ult., and on the 27th arrived in Edinburgh. On the 30th he proceeded to Stirling and Callender, visiting the Troaachs, Loch Catrine, and L,ochlo mond, whence he proceeded by coach to Ty ndrum and Oban, where he arrived in the afternoon of the following day. The younger gentleman, Mr. W. Stericker, jun., of Fenchurch-street, London, left the Euston-square tation on Saturday, the 28th ult., arriving in Edinburgh on the fol lowing afternoon. On Monday, the 30th, he proceeded to Oben by Lochlomond and Tyndrum, and on Tuesday visited Staffs and lona. On Wednesday, the Ist inst., be left Oban for Glencoe by the Culloden steamer ; and it was on board of this vessel that the two ill-fated gentlemen seemed to have formed soluaintance. The day was wild and tempes tuous. The rain fell in torrents, and the wind blew a per fect hurricane. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, the enthusiastic travellers, having landed at Ballachulish about eleven o'clock a.m., proceeded up Glencoe. Alter exploring this wild valley, they arrived at Allnafeidh, a small inn at the top, about two o'clock, p.m., having then walked a distance of 13 miles. They were wet, but apparently quite fresh and lively. Having refreshed themselves with a little spirits, of which the land.- lord partook, and some oatcake, they started for Fort Wil liam, notwithstanding the expostulations of their host, by the old military road, across the wildest and mit mountainous part of that killy region. After having mod the moun tain known for its wildness by the signalkinat Imo of " The Devil's Staircase;" they were seen about six p.m. passing Einlochl.ren, Irian they were speaking and joking with a t servant girl, apparently in a high state of animal spirits. This was the last that was seen of them till their bodies were found next morning within two miles of that place. There are several extraordinary circumstances connected with the tragical deaths of them two gentlemen. : I. They could not have crossed a burn, which runs about 210 yards from when they were found, during daylight without having been seen by the shepherd and his master, who were till dark engaged in crossing over the sheep, which at last defied them. They had two hours of daylight after passing Kiolocb, and there they did not seem in the lent fatigued ; and the supposition that they lingered on the road in such a wild evening is out of the question. It is ex traordinary where they could have been during daylight, unless, indeed, it can be supposed that they wandered from the road, which is not very probable. 2. It would not be • matter of very great surprise if one of these gentlemen, unaccustomed to endure fatigue, should, from the length of the journey, and the it.e,emeney of the weather, have become exhausted; but it strikes one as very strange, that the two should, at the same time, in the same place, and so near one another, have been so much ex hausted that neither of them could return for succour to the farm-house of Kinlochleven, which, having passed, they must have known was no great distance from them. 3. It is also difficult to understand how the shepherd lad, who was all night in the immediate vicinity of the 'pot where they were found, and who must have passed close to them several timta, neither heard nor sow anything that attracted his attention till he noticed them in the morning. There are strange and apparently unaccountable facts con nected with the mournful business, but the only way of arriving at a reasonable solution of the question of their deaths appears to us to be that, having been fatigued, they sat down to rest themselves, and after having partaken of the contents of the spirit-flask, found on the road, they dozed away; became benumbed with cold—which the shepherd describes as so intense that he was more than once on the point of seeking the shelter of the nearest habitation, and leaving his dick to their fate—and slept to wak., n 3 more. Such are the facts connected with this distressing event, an event which has created a deeper serration throughout the district of country in which it occurred than any other for a long time past. But while we deeply feel on this OJCAtiOII, we deem it our duty to hold out the distressing end of these men as • beacon to other tourists, to warn them of their danger. It has been too much the custom, of late years, for gentlemen travellers, unaccustomed to fatigue, and unpre pared with suitable clothing, to undertake long and toilsome Journeys across these wild and unfriquented region, without refreshments and without guides, for no intelligible reason, unless it be for the silly one of being afterwards able to boast of such feats. But they are perilous feats ; and even this season we have known one or two instances in which partit s engaged in them barely escaped with their lives; and we sincerely trust that if this awful visitation of Provident* have no other effect, it will at least have the effect of putting , a stop to such mad undertakings in future.—Abridged from the -N'ort/i British Mail. PROVINCIAL, SURREY. THE BOROUGH ore:l.ll.D FORD.—On Thursday evening the friends and supporters of Mr. T. Thurlow, the unsuocesaful conservative candidate at the late election, en. tertained that gentleman to dinner, at tho White Hart, Guildford. Mr. S. Ilaydon in the chair. It appears that shortly before the dissolution of the last parliament certain persons of influence in the borough had quietly arranged that there should be no contest, and that Messrs. Currie and Mangles shonld be returned without opposition. The electors, however, it would seem, did not choose to have their privileges thus disposed of, and they applied to Mr. Thurlow to come forward ; and although he was only in the field two day. before the election took place, he polled 184 electors, and was only defeated by Mr. Mangles, the liberal candidate, by a small majority. After the wind loyal toasts, Mr. Thurlew said be believed this was the first time in the annals of Guildford that a body of its electors had invited to meet them a gentleman who had been a candidate for their suffrages, and, above all, an unsuccessful one ; and it showed that there was no rule without an exception ; and he assured them he felt exceedingly proud that the exception war made in his pensa. He did not, of course, assume it as a personal compliment to himself, but he felt that the electors desired to testify their feeling en favour of the principles upon which he came forward—the cause of protestantism, and the free dom and independence of their borough. It had been reported at the lout election that there was an intention manifested to pocket the representation of their borough —he hoped it was not true. In the beginning of July he received a communication front an Influ ential elector of Guildford, requesting him to come Mr ward as a candidate ; but he at that tone declined, and be adopted the same course upon a subsequent application, his reasons for doing so being his belief that if he offered himself it might endanger the return of Mr. Currie, whom he be lieved to be a gentleman holding the same political opinions as himself. At this time he wu not at all aware that any private arrangement had been made with regard to the elec tion, and the first intimation he received of each a thing was from Mr. Rand, the town clerk, who acted as secretary to the Currie and Mangles junction, who stated that it was the wish of both parties that there should be no contest. I After this he attended a meeting of the electors when the circumstances connected with the proposed ar rangement were made known to him, and he was again strongly urged to offer himself as a candidate, in order to prevent, as one gentleman said, "the electors from being soli like sheep at Smithfield market." Tnis strong ex pression induced him to consult his friends, and the result war, that he came forward to solicit their suffrages. The hon. gentleman then proceeded to state that be ad hered to the political opinions lee had propounded in his address. He was an opponent of any fur ther endowment of the Roman catholic clergy, and also of the principle of free trade without reciprocity; but he said that, with regard to the recent alteration of the corn law, be considered it would be contrary to the spirit of the constitution not to give the new measure a fair trial; but if he found it to work prejudicially either to the manufac turing or to the agricultural interest, he would be the first to advocate an alteration. Mr. Thurlow concluded by alluding to some matters of local interest ; and, after pledg. ing himself to come forward as a candidate when the next occasion presented itself, he concluded by heartily thanking the electors for the honour they had dime him on the present occaaion. Inn ens. THE NEW PALACE AT WESTMINdTER.—THE ROYAL Ctim_irsl . 6sl: We are enabled to anticipate an important report of the committee appointed by the Comraiasioners of Fine Arts to select subjects in painting, with a view to the future deco ration of the palace at Westminster. The committee have bet brought their labours to a close, and their report has en privately circulated among the members of the corn missioneonly. The document is not only of great public interest, but of the highest importance to British artiata, for the committee have clearly defined the subjects for the paint lags which are intended to adorn that magnificent structure, and the size of every compartment intended to be so deco rated is accurately given. The report commences by stating that the committee was appointed by the commissioners to consider a general plan for the selection of subjects in painting for the various apart ments of the palace at Westminster, agreeable to the orders of the commissioners in their sixth report to her Majesty, in the following words : In asserdsme** the principles which have aimed, guide/ Wade.
