DIAILIN, JAN. 20. .1 meeting, convened by the I)ublin Protestant Aswciation, was held last night at the Rotunda, "to address the Queen on the dismissal of Lord Palmer ston from her Majesty's councils, and the appoint ment ut Lord Granville to the office of Foreign Se cretary, and to pray that the principles of constitu tional liberty, based on protestant truth, might not he compromised at the dictation of foreign despots, or those who sympathised with them at home ; and that those alone be summoned to her Majesty's councils who were devoted to the principles which called the house of Brunswick to the throne of these realms." The chair was taken, shortly after eight o'clock, by Mr. Thomas It. Thompson, and the meeting was addressed at considerable length by the Rev. T. 1). Gregg. Resolutions in accord ance with the tones of the requisition were unani mously adopted. The Ship, Chronicle says: It is asserted, on the authority of a paragraph in the Rat 'ammo', Gazette, that Mr. Somers will shortly vacate his seat, being about to accept a government appointment, and that Sir William Somerville intends offering himself as a candidate for this borough in his stead. We believe there i. sot any foundation fur the first part of this rumour, and that Mr. Somers will come again before his constituents at the approaching dissolution. As to Sir William Somer ville, the truth we believe is, es stated by us in a former number, that he• has been solicited to stand for the county, in conjunction with Mr. Jones. The Cork Examiner says: It gives uo much pleasure to state that Mr. K. B. Roche, our county member, has given an order to Mr. Perrot for the neceuary machinery of a flax mill, which is •o be erected a little outside the demesne of Trabalgsn, and which it to be of greater extent and power than the mill now in operation at Kildinan, and worked by Mr. Deegan. Mr. Roche has done a vast deal to promote the growth of flax, and i. determined to do more, from a thorough belief in its value as a remunerative crop, and from it beneficial effect apon fanning generally. He and his tenants grew very n,rarlT 1,000 acres last year. We are also glad to state that tht kildiban mill is to be worked with increased vigour in the mune of a short time.

PORTSMOUTII, + .t\. 20.--Tho royal yacht Victoria and Albert has been brought down the harbour to-day and taken tato the basin preparatory to going Into dock for a thorough ft-embellisliiiient and orerhaul.—The Fire Queen, steamer, went out of harbour to-day in charge of Captain Ilividerson, of the Blenheim, to try her engines, re turning :main this afternoon.—The blanceuvrer and Sinbad, lighters, have arrived to-day with stores. To.day has witacased the termination of the lengthened examination of the preserved meats at Clarence-yard. The number of Cans that remained to be opened was about 260, and the result was that of that number 185 mere found totally unlit for food, and were consequently condemned to be thrown into the sea, the remaining 75 being eatable. The above, with those opened yesterday, had all been served out to the Vengeance, 84, but returned into store by her, for the reason reported yesterday. They were 10Ibe. and lOilbs. weight each, with the exception of a small number, which weighed ebbs. The contents of those con demned to-day were similar to those described before. In the opening of the 6,090 eases which have been examined by the board of examiners the members of that board have had a very disgusting task to perform, and one that was by no means free from risk, the noxious odour arising from such a mass of putridity being at times perfectly overpow ering, and it 11411 only by the copious use of Sir W. Bar nett's disinfecting fluid that serious consequences were pre vented, and the examination enabled to go on. COMMER&AL AND MARKETS. NINCING-LANE.-THIS DAY.

Reed, Esq., coroner for South Northumberland, at Walker, on the body of Patrick Daley, an Irishman, employed as a striker at the iron works at Walker, belonging to Messrs. Losh, Wilson, and Bell. On the morning of New Year's.day the deceased had a "tassel" with a man named Charles Fairs, alias Jeffrey, employed as a puddler in the same factory. Daley, who had the charaeter of being a quiet, inoffensive man, and, though powerful, not at all reputed as a fighting man, got the better; he was then encountered by a torapaMon of Fairs, whom be also overpowered, knocked down, after three or four round., and fell upon him. Daley was then picked up by a man named Arthur 14.Cornttek, who was in the act of leading him home when Fairs came up and struck Daley a violent blow on the head with some deadly weapon, supposed to be a poker. Ile then went back to his house and got hold of a coal rake, which ho said he was going to use in defence of his companion, hut this was wrested from him by some bystanders. A poker was picked up near the scene of attack, and wail, no doubt, the instrument which Fairs had employed in the flat instance. Daley became insen sible when struck, and, having lingered about ten days, ex pired. Fairs immediately absconded. The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder** against him. After track• big him from place to place, a policeman apprehended him at Middlesborough on Thursday last, and brou4ht him to Newcastle, and on the following day he was lodged in Morpeth gaol, to await his trial at the anises. OPENING OF THE WESTERN AREA OF SI. POLUL*B CATHEDRAL. At a meeting of the City Sewers Commissioner.. yesterday, the lidless ing letter was read : " Dean's-yard, Westminster, Dee. 22, 18-111. Sir,—l am desired by the Dean and Chapter of St. , Paul's, in answer to your letter of the Isth of December, inst., toinforra :on that they intended by the former letter I to equity that they declined a second couterence with the , Commissioners of Sewers—not from the wont of courtesy, hut frum the conviction that such conference can lead tong result, until ineasuets are token to enlarge the approaches .. to the church yard, meaning especially the opening to hod- ~ state-his.

As nothing has been done or proposed to effect this object, , they *till decline soy farther meeting. With respect to your notice of the prosi.ion concerning the removal of the railing, v.-ttained in the recent act of parliament, it is evi dent that it is merely permissive ; the intention of it is, I that whenever the trustees of the fabric and the dean and chapter .hall deem it proper to consent to the removal of the radiant. or soy part ut it, there shall be nu legal impedi ment to the measure.

The Surveyor handed into court a Wan which he had provided, in pursuance of instructions he had re ceived, with reference to the in utter before the commis sioners. This gentleman recoininends a line of improve ment in the public way at the western end of the cathe dral, which, it appears, he thinks may he accomplished by "setting hack a portion of the railings which inclose the western area of the cathedral." After defining this line, the surveyor states, in conclusion, that he has submitted a line which appears to him to comprehend the least mea sure of improvement that the convenience of the !Alit sir enntle, het dew he emaklen a line eameesit by error in 1884 as superior to his, an I that th, throwing open the area entirely as superior to both of thein.—lte solved eventually and unonimoasly, "That the sur veyor be authorised to seek a etmference with the cathedral authorities upon the subject, and report the issue of the same to the court."

In November ;est renewed notices of trial were given by the solicitor of the customs in ten out of the fifty-three informations tiled against this company, which would be set down for trial at the sittings after Michaelmas t e rm. In the interul, however, the directors learned with equal surprise and dissatisfaction that a com promise hail been elfetteil between the Commissioners of Customs and the directors of the London Dock Company. This unexpected event placed the ease of the St. Katherine Dock Company in an altered and disadvantageous position, and in the opinion of the directors left them no alternative but to enter likewise into a compromise, which has becu eff,eted upon the following terms. The comniis,ioneis have distinctly absolved the directors and their officers from all imputation of fraud, null upon an admission made on the part of the company, that in the conducting of the business of the docks some irregularities have taken place, and upon payment of a nominal tine of 1001., the whole of the goods placed under detention have been released, and all law pro. ceeilings, which had becu instituted against the company and their officers, withdrawn. The chairman said a ith regard to the dispute with the Board of Customs, he could nut help complaining bitterly of the conduct of the London Duck Company in compromising this matter without consulting with the Chairman of the St. Katherine Docks Company, who had acted so straightforwardly throughout the busi. nem, and concluded his observations by moving the adoption of the report. The report was then adopted, and HENRY BUCKLE, Em., moved the following re solution : " That the cordial thanks of this meeting are due, and i re hereby riven, to the directors, for their valuable services and continued attention to the interests of the com pany, and likewise for the judicious manner in which, under unexpectedly altered and disadvantageous circum stances, they have brought to a termination the controversy lately subsisting between this company and the Board of Customs."_ . . . .

Emmett and Knight, solicitors for Mrs. Marga• ret Rankin, widow of the late chief justice of Sierra Leone holder of 48 shams, proposed Mr. 11. J. Norris, actuary and accountant, of Southampton-buildings, to be interim manager, and stated that, independent of other qualifica tions for that office, Mr. Norris had recently attended at Newport, and investigated the accounts, and prepared a statement, besides entering into an examination of the secu rities of the hank, the financial affairs of which were of that extensive and important character to require great perse verance and experience. The appointment of an interim meager was a matter of urgency, as there were funds amounting to 2'2,103'. in the bank of Messrs. Miles and Mefferd, of Bristol; and 60,0001. in the Bank of England branch at Bristol. It was stated that an agreement had been entered into with the creditors, by which 60,00 W. would be eased to the estate, add the first payment under that agreement fell due this month, which rendered the nppoiatment of a manager the more important, to assist in ve car iz ung out the agreement, and to prevent its becoming Mr. W. M. James appeared as counsel, with Messrs. Titan, Squanee, and Co. solicitors, and proposed Messrs. Nicholson, intle, and Watltins, three members of the shareholders' committee, for the office of interim managers, and whose appointment lie stated was supported by holders of 10,000 shares; and detailed the proceedings that had already taken place upon the subject. Sir Thomas Phillips, chairman of the committee of cre ditors, in his affidavit, now stated that an agreement had been come to fur satisfying the smaller creditors, and paying a dividend of is, in the pound to the other creditors. The committee had agreed to recommend to the creditors whose debts should not be satisfied by the payment of 201. after being paid the agreed instalment of ss. in the present month to accept payment of further instalments, ad which, if sot paid at the times mentioned, the credited right to recover the whole of their debts will be preserved : /h. 4d. in June, 1862 ; 3s. 4d. in December, 1852 ; Is. Bd.in June, 1853; and Is. fhb. in December, 1853. Mr. Henry Thomas, the manager, appointed by the committee of shareholders to conduct and superintend the affairs, in his affidavit just made, reported that he had carefully gone through the books, and found that the sum of 100,1631. would be amply sufficient to pay all the cre ditors whose debts do not exceed 201., and who had agreed to accept that sum in discharge of any larger debt, and to pay all the other unsecured creditors, not being share holders, a dividend of 6s. in the pound; and that this sum of 100,4491. had already been subscribed and provided by 101 shareholders, representing 3,801 shares, and consisting of 61,5561. in cash, and 36,892/. in bills, notes, and creditors' cheques, the latter being only for the sum of 6s. in the pound, and deposited with the Branch Bank of England, Bristol. Many of the creditors would accept these bills and notes in payment of their dividend of 6s. in the pound, and that the committee of shareholders had subscribed towards the 100,4491. as fol lows: T. Werth', 2,00 W.• T. Fothergill, 10,0001.; G. Hen nett, 15,00 W. ; T. Nicho lson, 1,600/. ; W. B.Watkins, 60014 G. Lawrence, 1,5001. ; and T. Powell, 10,0001. The 10,0001. from Mr. Fothergill was in addition to 7,0001. paid by him to the Commercial Bank of London on account of this company in December last, and other sums, and that none of the other petitioners in the matter had subscribed anything. Creditors to the amount of 230,0001. had agreed to accept the composition of 1,1". in the pound. Very few of the creditors had refused to assent to the proposed agree ment, and the result of further measures would be reported at the meeting of the joint committees to be held on Thursday next at Newport, when it was con fidently expected that the went of the great body of unsecured creditors would be signified. If the matter were taken out of the hands of the three gentlemen he proposed it would probably result in the whole arrangement being destroyed, and an important point in the proposition was that they would provide cash for bills and manage the concern without poundage. The Muter, after a brief deliberation, decided on ap pointing Messrs. Nicholson, Winds, and Watkins to be interim managers to the estate, with Messrs. I'rotherto, Towgood, and Fox, of Newport, as the local, and Messrs. Tilson, Squance, and Co. as the London solicitors. Sir T. Phillips, in reply to Mr. Whiting, the chief clerk. said the funds accruing would be placed in the names of trustees, and that the debts, if necesary, could be proved before the Master, who might be furnished by the interim manager with an agreed het.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT BARCLAY AND PERKINS'S BKEWERV.—Yesterday evening Mr. Payne held an inquest at Ouy's Hospital, on the hod y of Daniel Jones, aged 20, a labourer in Barclay and Perkins's brewery. On Monday week, the 12th inst., about 6 o'clock in the evening, as the men in one of the departments of this extensive brewery were leaving their employment, the deceased fell down the stairs leading to the stage on which he had been at work, fracturing his skull, and producing other injuries, in conse quence of which he died on Sunday morning last. The accident is supposed to have arisen Irons the stairs being very wet at the time of the accident, a quantity of malt having been carried over them that day. Verdict—" Acci dental death."

The market for the home funds remains at the de pressed rates of yesterday, and the tendency this morning has been rather in favour of a further reduction, notwithstanding the continued opera. ion of the government broker, who has to-day invested in Consols at Ofi', or cheaper than his purchase of . yesterday. The undecided position of the ministerial question at home, combined with a feeling of growing anxiety us to the conduct of Louis Napoleon, operates as a discouragement to active operations, and hence speculation is inert in most departments, only a few favoured securities attracting a limiSed amount of attention. French letters refer to the reported retire ment of M. Fould, the Finance Minister, as having caused a considerable degree of uneasim ss, ON may he gathered from the decided weakness of the Bourse during the lust few days, supported although it is by all the means at the disposal of the government. Consols have been sold as low as 96, but are now quoted the same us they dowel yesterday, at 961, to I for money and February. The business list em braces:—Three per Cent. Consols, tai,', ' ; ditto for Account, 96;, ; Three per Cents. Iteduced 1; New Three-an d-a-Quarter per Cents., 9!t`, 4, Long Annuities, 1866, 7, 1-16; South Sea Stock, 106 ; ditto Old Annuities, 654 ; Bank Stock, 216, 211, 2164. The unfunded securities remain quiet. Exche quer Bills rule at 565. to 595. preen., and India Bonds at 68s. to 71s. prem., with no tendency to fluctua tion. The foreign stock market is generally weaker, but little change in prices is pereeptible,except for Ihfich, Mexican, and Spanish, which are all flat. Business has been tolerably varied, but not extensive iu any one description, stud little disposition to speculate is shown. The sales of the morning include: Austrian Five per Cent. Bonds, 70. Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 94. Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 92, 911, 92e. Danish Five per Cents., lon. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 64; ditto Four per Cent. Certificates, 901, 4.

Royal Mail Steam shares are rather steadier,mark ing 77. General Steam Navigation are worth V. Little is doing, however, in the general joint stock share market. A very large export of specie took place yester day, the Bentinek having sailed front Southampton with 330,0001., chiefly in silver coin and bullion, (ir the eastern markets. This large amount of silver has been in course of collection for a considerable time, and, as the accounts last received from Calcutta and Bombay, from which the chief demand is expe rienced, report a more easy state of the mono• mar ket, it is to be expected that the future demand will be upon a much less extensive scale. The demand for foreign bills was very eonsiderablo yesterday afternoon, which caused a general decline of quotations in favour of drawers. The movement seems to be almost entirely caused by an accidental demand for remittances to foreign countries at a Limo when, from the scarcity of shipments, the market is but inadequately supplied. fhe lower quotations from continental bourses alone are not the cause, since the decline at Paris and Amsterdam is counter balanced by the rise at Hamburg, Frankfort, and Vienna, in the quotation on London. Short Paris was done at 25.20 to 23 ; ditto three months, at 25.40 to 45. Amsterdam was in demand at MIN!, to 19. Hamburg was at first negotiated at 13.101, and left off 13.101, money. Paper on Italy, Sicily, Spain, PerSoll, and St. Petersburg was in request, with one a *linty supply, and the negotiations effected were in favour of sellers. The exception was paper on Austria, for which the rate of 12.30 to 10 is almost nominal, the sale being extremely difficult. The price of dollars is now fixed at 4s. 10„d. per oz., at which rate sales have been effected, after buyers had stood out for some little time for a fur ther reduction to 4s. 10Id. Some interesting specimensof Australian gold were shown at the offices of Messrs. Sharps and Vi ilkins, of Great Winchester-st., into whose hands have come nearly the entire imports by the Anna Mary and Ralph Thompson. The gold has undergone no other process than that of washing. The bulk of it is in small flaky grains, but some of the pieces are of con siderable size, varying from one to two ounces in weight. ith the increasing export of gold from the Aus tralian colonies, the establishment of an Australian Mint is advocated by some of the local journals as a most beneficial measure for the colonial interests. Should the export of gold proceed at the present rate, it is anticipated that a deteriorating effect will be produced on the price of gold and other produce, by greatly reducing the price of bills on England. At the last dates the quotation of exchange was at a discount, and the fears entertained would appear to be already in course of realisation, the price offered for gold dust having experienced a decline. Even were the Mint established, however, it remains to be seen how the natural course of trade could be obvi ated. Under present arrangements the gold ,as brought in from the diggings, is purchased, exported, and draws against, and the same operation would continue after the establishment of a Mint, though it is certainly possible that the precious metal might be rendered less an article of merchandise than it now is, to the prejudice of the raw colonial produce. Speculations on this subject, however, must be dependent upon the actual yield of gold in the various fields now laid open in New South Wales and Port Philip, and that this will be enormously large all the accounts agree in stating. Here many persons interested in colo nial matters, and well qualified to form a judgment upon the subject, express a decided opinion that the gold-yielding capabilities of Australia are even now vastly underrated by the British public. k:244AL1511 PUN I.6.—fl u e.
