SURREY it - EEHOLD LAND SOCIETY. THE COLLIERY EXASOSION AT WASH INoTON. TPA INQUEST. Mr. Fare% the coroner, continued the inquest upon the bodies 'antil • late hour on Wednesdny evening. The evidence pit to have been in a bail condition. The two fun , .0;1.n., Hutchinson and Ervingtnn, who 6, - 4 at Insult, went into the pit to look after the fur anc,, when it was found that their mate llarrison was 'They- had been overcome with after damp, which was rushing in the direction of the furnace, had fallen, and in the anxiety to Live the men further in the workings had been overlooked until ton late. Every exertion was made to save their lives when brought to bank, but the poison had got too much into the system. The colliery has not I had a very good name, the pitmen being of a lower class. That maj account for the somewhat cowardly conduct of , the men that ran away before the explosion without in forming their mates, as detailed in the evidence below. The conduct of the men belonging to the other collieries who assisted to rescue the sufferers was of the most coura geous and daring character. The pitmen make out one man more than the officials as killed—thirty-five. They are probably right, for every thing was in complete confusion at the inquest. Twenty one men and fourteen boys and young men have been killed. The following evidence was given on Wed nesday Mr. Shields Spencer, surgeon to the colliery, deposed that with the exc,ptiou of the death of one little bin, which had been caused by the explosion, the deaths of the whole of the sufferers hail Lela occasioned by alter-damps, or carbonic acid gas. , Mr. liempster, one of the proprictors of the mine, proved having sent a letter to the Rome Secretary, and having I left a written message at the residence of Mr. M:dhias Dunn, inspector of mines, apprising them of the explosion. t The next witness the Coroner said he had sent for fur • particular purpose. Serail Storey being sworn, stated that her tither, John Storey, kept a public-house at Washington-row. She said James Bell, the under-viewer, was in her lather's house at ten o'clock on Mmalay Light. Ile was rather the worse for liquor. He had been drinking on and off from live o'clock in the afternoon. A public meeting of the inhabitants of Southwark Look Place last evening at the Institution, Fair-street, m'ASeiydown, for the purpose of receiving an explanation 'af the principles and operations of this society. The IMO ciatiun embraces+ the whole of the county of Surrey. It has been eetublished nearly a twelvemonth, is enrolled pur suant to act of parliament, and has been so well supported as to be on the point of purchasing two estates. The mode of distributing the allotments ss to be by general ballot, no member being entitled to a draw who has not subscribed at least three mouths to the satiety. The subscription is fixed :It b. lwr ,hare per fortnight ; and parties are allowed to join at any time, without being called on to pa the arrears from the commencement. They may also at any time increase or reduce the number of their shares ; and, in ease of necessity, the committee have power to suspend their payments without fine., or members may at any time withdraw their vubscriptions. No member is allowed to take more than six t•harea. Minors and females may become subscriber , . When a member obtains an allotment, interest at '2l per cent. per annum is charged on the balance due from him. The interest is placed to the credit of the unallotted share holders, after defraying the expenses ot the society.. Mr. J. Wyld, M.l'., is one of the viee-presidents of the society ; and the trustees are Sir Joshua Wahuesley, M.l'., Mr. Lushington, M.l' , and Mr. 11. J. Slack. Mr. J. TIIWAITES being called to the chair, said the association hal been formed to advance the political and social interests of the people at large. These societies had arisen out of the notorious fact, that the hulk of the people were deprived of their jut political rights. (Hear, hear.) They sought to Lugment the power of the people on the principle that union was strength, by enabling them to purchase small plot. of land at the same rate na was paid for large estates. It was well known that this very move ment had scab d the fate of the corn laws. (Cheers.) let the people follow on in the same course, and they were sure to obtain their rights. (hear, hear.) Mr. KEN E VIC le, the secretary, detailial the principles of the society, a- described above, and stated that when the estates were purchased, the allotment would probably be got for alsout 20i. each. During the four years these SOCI, ties had be. n in existence 100,000 share holders had been enrolled and upwards of JOO,OOOl. had been paid in. Be tween sixty and seventy estates bud been purchased, con sisting of from 10 to 70 acres each • and it was a remarkable fact that not a single defalcation had taken place, so secure were the principles on which the societies were based. (Cheers.) Mr. Y. . TOWNSEND moved a resolution, declaring that freehold land societies were well adapted to promote the political MIA 14163 i interests of the working clas•es. Mr. T. J. SERLE was received with loud cheering. In seemeling the resolution lee said that the social advantages of these societies were alone sufficient to recommend them if their political value were done away with next teasion. Me did not beli,ve this would be the case ; fur lenal John Russell, when spealiing on Mr, Loclie King's motion, had expressed his desire to preserve the counties for the free holder. and the boroughs for the occupants, lie had had experience of what these encieties could do in a small so- The Coroner remarked that as Mr. Crider:ice, the viewer, had left the it under the charge of JallrAi Bell during his :flotsam this was a serious charge. Bell was called in and informed what the witness had stated "(lording him. Ile admitted that he had got seine drink, but stated it was nut his shirt, and that lie imagined the pit was perfectly safe. The Coroner—A persau having charge of a pit is liable to be called upon ut any time, and should lie a perfctly sober person. He had thought it right to cull him in and give bias a chance of rebutting the charge. Thomas Harris, an overman, saw dames Dell in the pit after the esplosion. Ile WAS not drunk, but very much excited from the effects of the gas. 'the witness had dragged him from certain death. Mr. Christopher Credit:ice owner of the colliery, stated lie went to London on Monday morning, and lett the pit iu charge of James Lett, overman and under owner. Was ' not aware that Bell was a drunken man. The inspector of mines had not been down the pit. Ile had never been exa mined by him. Three months ago the pit fired in the far cross cut and killed two men. lie wished for more time to inquire into the cause of the accident. Pro duced plans of the workings of the pit. The plats.: where the pit fired was called the first cross cut of the Hutton seam. 'the air at that part of the pit was totally unconnected with the place where the pit fired three weeks ago. and where the two men were killed three months ago. there was a dawn and an upeast. The down cast was culled the 1. pit. From '21,00D to 33,000 feet of air per minute entered the downcast shalt. The furnace ventilation was at the IS pit. The air split at the engine bank at u iliStAilek of 1,000 yard( from the first pit. Part of the split travelled north. The amount of air travelling last Merida) , would be about 7,000 or 8,000 cubic feet, in a south direction from the split named sod thence into the toe t district. The air went direct into the workings where the pit fired, and returned by the west side over un over cast, thence up some old wastes to a return staple, which went into a low main to the furnace. The air did not vs titan; more than three Semi. The sizes of sir courses varied, and where the air split it was about 30 feet wide. The average area of the air courses was about 30 feet. The rate the air travelled when the accident occurred might he about three or four feet per :cornet That was quite suffi cient to ventilate that part of the workings. George Charlton, buck-overman, left the pit on Monday afternoon between five and six o'clock. lie had been throughwhere she is supposed to have fired. Ile examine el the pit in every working place, and left considering her quite sate. William Hall, who is killed, took charge of the nest shaft. Witness worked with candles and candles were generally used in that part. Has had charge of that part about a year-und-a-half. There has Wen gas in that part before from fulls. flu not known any " blowers" come ME Considered it safe to work there with candles, unless a fall should come off with the workings. hod never known gas come off from a fall so as to lire the pit. Had heard a com plaint of danger from working at that part with candles. Cannot account for the explosion. A man named Fin nagan left the mine an hour ur so before the I xpliniun. He was unwell, but witness could not tell from what cause. Thomas Todd, deputy, left the pit between five and six on Monday evening. Witness hail been in the district where the pit tired, and worked with candles. Hui wrought in that district a year and three quarters, and never had a " blower "in that time. There is nu diager from a " blower " where lumps are used. If the explosion hail been from a " blower' it must have been from a candle. The men prefer to use candle because the light is better. At this stage of the proceedings the coroner adjourned the inquiry fur an hour. On the court re-assembliug Mr. Ralph Park Phillipson, solicitor, Newcastle, and Mr. Forster, owner, attended on behalf of the colliery owners. Mr. Phillipson drew the coroner's attention to the Gth clause of the Inspection of Mines Act, which instructed the coroner to adjourn inquests held on the bodies of indivi duals killed in mines until he had written to the Hume Secretary. 't he Coroner said he was aware of that claugs., but con , siilervil himself justified in taking a portion M the cti , deuce. lie was holding the inquest, nut only on behalf of her Majesty. Secretary of State, but also on behalf of her Majesty. Mr. Phillipson—An act of parliament supersedes your au , thority, . . eit:ty at Nutting-hill, which had already (ought ; and it was the ilett rinination of the allottecs to build on their lots as ...MI as they could ; meantime, they cultivated them as garden:. The resolution was then put and unanimously agreed to. Mr. J. H. II EIGHTON moved a resolution declaring the Surrey Freehold Lind Society entitled to support. A Gsgrtr.stax asked if there wan any chance of getting • plot of freehold land within a short distance of London ? The CIIAIHNIAN said there could be no doubt of the practicability of obtaining freehold ground even in a neigh bourhood so crowded a+ that of Southwark. This had been done by the new pres company ; other pl its were to he had; and it would he the business of the committee to watch the market., and take advanta.te of any site that might offer. In tine they had a great advantage over individual buyers. (Hear, hear.) Applieations for shares were then received, and the proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman. ATTEMPTED MURDER OF TWO FEMALES AND SUICIDE OF TILE ASSAILANT. The quiet village of Tottenham was on Wednesday the seem of • shocking catastrophe--the attempted murder of two respectable termite., and suicide of the intending assawin. flie two putties whose liver, were perilled are the wife and daughter of a gentlimim named Brawl, occupying a residence in the lower port of the village clog:, to the rail way station ; and the perpetrator of the outrage was a I, rittatt named Crighlo, who for some time mot had been an accepttil suitor of Mr. Brand's daughter. Mr. Brand, the husband and lather of the victims, was aftseut from home when the event took place. Crighlo had lived with the family up to the end of July, when, r.presenting himself to be upon the point of leaving England, he formally proposed fir the hand of Miss Brand, expressing a wish to marry her at once, and take her over to Germany to reeiste. Mr. Brand, however, opposed the union until Crighlo had been over to Germany, and prepared a home fur the reception of his wife. Crighlo, finding that he could not prevail on the parents of hisbetrothed to alter thin determination, signified his intention of returning to Germany ; and, as lie le ft Tottenham immediately, was 'supposed to have done so. Bubsermently, howeverot turned out that he was still in Eng land, and on Wednesday morning the Brands received a letter (Min him, weirdest somewhat incoherently, and shortly afterwards he presented hinieelf at their cottage, and was received by Mrs. Brand and her slaughter with the usual lie, however, on their questioning hint with rcepect to his sudden re-appreirince, when he was supposed to be in Germany, exhibited a great deal of agitation in his manner, and flinch hesitation in his replies; lie endeavoured to account for his prolonged stay in England by saying that he felt an uncontrollable desire to travel over England before fiaally leaving it .tt the same time he complained of having suffs red from an affection of the brain during his absence and this, coupled with the incolienney of his manlier, caused some uneasiness in the minds of Mrs. and Misr 111:11111. Several other visitor, were at the time in the house, and after partaking of luncheon with the family, (frigid° left the house, it is supposed because the presence of the strangers did not agree wit!' his plans. After leasing the house he went up a lane in the neighbourhood, awl was not again observed until about half-least 8 o'clock in the evening, when he was seen to return by the same route, and to enter the cottage, from which in a few minute. subsequently shrieks were heard to issue, and Miss Brand, followed soon alter by her mother, was seen to rush forth covered with blood. She ran into the White Hart public-house, im mediately opposite her residence at a distance of CO yards. ller cries at our attracted:the attention of various per sons there assembled who met her at the door, when she be sought them for God's sake to go and save her mother. Mrs. Brand, however, was met on the road, and carried into the White Hart, where she and her slaughter were carefully attended by Mn Patrick the landlady, and other females, until the arrival of a surgeon, who was instantly rent fur. Miss Brand was observed to be wounded in seve ral place., her hands being cut and gashed in a horrible manner, as if from the frequent and forcible draw ing of pone, sharp instrument or weapon through them ; mid her mother. besides slighter wounds, had one in the ro :don of the chest from which it Wai at first thought that the ws apon which haul been used had penetrated to her lungs. Miss Brand was sufficiently collected to state that she and her mo th er h a d b een ferociously attacked by Crighlo, who she supposed still remained m their house. Muth excitd by this infirrmatisin, Mr. Patrick, the land lord of the V. bite Hart, Mr. Ryan, the station master of the ),astern Counties (Tottenham) station, and many other in dividuals, some of whom took the precaution to arm them 'elvers with formidable weapcns, crossed over to Mr. Brand's cottage, and on entering the kitchen found Crighlo on the floor crouched between two chairs as if fur concealment. Mr. Ryan issizial hold of the collar of his coat to draw him from his hiding place, but was shucked to find upon his head falling backwards that the unfortunate man was in the agonies of death, having stabbed himself in several places with a dagger or dirk which was found lying beside him, With a blade six or seven Inches lotar. lie had no ss than tight wounds in various parts of his body, he died halal dildely and without a word. Upon the body being searched a few pounds were found, together with a gold watch • and a second dagger of a Spanish form. The wounds from which death resulted were in the abdomen. The body was in the course, of the night removed to an outhouse con ni teed with the White Hart, where it awaits the coroner's inquiry. The deceased was a fine looking man about 3d yeurs of age. Yesterday morning Miss Brand gave the foUowing parti culars connected with the outrage, which had so nearly ter minated fatally to herself and mother. She raid that about half-past eight ou the previous evening, as she and her mother were sitting in the parlour, she heard the sound of footsteps in the garden, followed by a knock at the kitchen door. She at once suspected it was Crighlo, and having been struck with the strangeness of his manner in the early part of the slay, became alarmed and Hew to the door in order to oppose his entrance. lie knocked again and said " Arc you alone " She replied, " No, my mother is with me. - She then opened the door a few inches, keeping her knee against it for security. He, however, pushed it siolently open, rushed into the kitchen, and, clasping his left aria round her waist, struck her upon the aisle ; she was uncon s cious of being wounded until she saw the dagger in his hand as he withdrew it from her body. He then aimed several blows at her, which, however, she generally Manaersl to parry, catching the weapon repeatedly in her heads. which were terribly hacked in the conflict. Before assulan • t had time to mplete his murderous intntion her I lohri.lie attracted the atten ca tion of her mother, who hastened to _ her as s i stance, and was in her turn instantly attacked by t - righlo with the fury of a maniac. Miss Brand tnen ran Ines the house, and sought refuge from the White Hart, as shady described - - - uniita.—The neighbourhood of Borris-in-Ossory, thivi n's County, was, on Monday, thrown into a state of tonsiderable excitement by the discovery of a barbarous manly,. which took place on Sunday last in that locality. The body or a young woma n , about twenty years of age, named Judith M . Donnel, who lived as servant with Michael butler, at Skeirke. near Dorris, was found by her master inth gripe o f a d itc h , w i th in a few perches of his house, util e ated in a dreadful m anner , Ler shall having been Lkrally battered in with some blunt instrument, and her Shrum cut in two places. There is as yet no duo to the nanrderer, nor can any possible motive be nssigned for such a brutal art. She left her master's house on Sunday morning• about mine o'clock, to attend mass at Knock, a 20distance of a mile and a half; but before she proceeded Perch( I met w ith an untimely end. The pince where . b 'HIY lay, which was partially covered with briars, was e mPletely maturated with blood, and portions of her brain Tuft scattered around. The Coroner would take the responsibility upon himself. Phillipson-1 hold it your course is illegal, and the responsibility is with you. James Bird was then sworn, and said he was a hewer, and was in the night shaft on Monday. lle lift the work ings about 11 o'clock. lle had got about i 0 yards up the old waggon way when the pit fired. One of his legs was hurt, and his face was cut. lie had not dune work, but left because he was afraid. lie was working near a hewer named Thomas Urwin. When wit ness brut went to work he spoke to William Hall, the over man, about the condition of the pit. Hall asked him what he was frightened of, and he replied he did not like the appearance of his candle. Ile told Hall he was afraid to work. hall, after examining the flame, said she was making gas somewhere, but he said she was not so bad as she was on Friday night. Hall persuaded hint to stop. Witness, before he kit the workings, asked Urwin to leave with him, but he would not. Ile told Urwin to look at his candle, which he did, and replied " She is bad, however." 'fen minutes after he spoke to Urwin the pit fired, and Urwin was killed with the other men. Joseph Armstrong, a young lad, was sitting when the blast went over him. lie fell down and escaped. Michael Finnegan was a hewer, and went down the pit at six o'clock on the night of the accident. Was working at the second west board out of the south head way, when he grew afraid and left. There was gas on Mon day night, and he was afraid she would tire. She was not safe on Thursday night, and he had refused to go to work on Friday. Told some of the men on Monday night that he thought the pit would fire. The deputies had examined the pit that night. They told him the pit was all right. The air was dull, and she was travelling slow. Robert Todd, a hewer, was working in the Polka Flat, or buck cross cut, on Monday night. He left about a quarter before 12. She tired about a quarter of an hour afterwards. There was little air travelling, and he dared not stop. There was little air in his hoard, and no brattice where he was The deputies should have put a brattice up. Had mentioned the matter to William Hall. Hall is killed. Told Hall last Friday night. Witness's father was working at the same dip, and he went and told him how bad the air was. His father did not find fault; but after felling some coals they left. Told William Hall as they were going out that the pit was bad. Two of his brothers were working in another part of the pit, butneithcr witness nor his father told them, and they , remained be hind and were killed. The explosion took place just as they got to bank. Ile did not find the air slack until about half-past eleven. Robert Hall, father of the above witness, confirmed his evidence His son told him that there was a fall in the first cross cut, and she was loaded with gas at the top. He left before the work was done. The reason why the air was so bad in his son's cross-cut was because these was no brattice. The gas would come into his son's board, would kjust go through his, and pass to where his two sons were illed. There was not a more careful man in the colliery than Win. Hall. His son persuaded him, to leave as has board was not the thing that night. His candles were carrying such a top. They did not expect there was such danger in the fiat where his sons were working. That was the reason I they did not tell them. Has heard the men say the ventila tion was bad on account of a standing tire. When he and his sons passed Storey's public house in going to work, they saw James Bell and Thomas Barras, the overmen, drinking. They had come out of the pit at ten o'clock in the morning. In answer to Mr. Phillipson, he said that if William Hall had known there had been danger ho would not have allowed them to work. The coroner then adjourned the inquest until that day week. The bodies were interred yesterday. CONVICTS UNDER TRANSPORTATION.—A parlia mentary paper was issued on Wednesday containing a re solution of certain magistrates in Ireland, protesting against the liberation of cert.un criminals sentenced to transporta tion who were again let loose on society. 1 hey state that several of the criminals, who were discharged because they behaved well in prison, have since committed offences and some have been convicted.

THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 22, 1851. THE LATE TRIALS FOR CONSPIRACY.- TRADES' UNIONS. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Aroesr 21. The Lord Mayor of Dublin gave an entertainment at the Mansion House last evening, which partook of a public character, the principal guests being gen- 1 tlemen who had been invited to attend the meeting convened by his lordship for this day, to promote the establishment of a packet station on the Irish coast for communication with America. Among those who partook of the civic hospitality on the occasion were the Lord Mayor elect, the Mayors of Limerick, Sligo, Waterford, and Kilkeuny ; the Rev. I'. Daly, chairman of the Galway Towu Commissioners; Ed ward Grogan, Esq., M.P.; James Hans Hamilton, Esq., M.P.; Joseph Napier, Esq., Q C., M.P.; Alderman Sir T. ()Brien, Bart. ' M.P.; M. J. Blake, Esq., M.P.; N. V. Maher, Esq., M.P.; Sir I'. l Nugent, M.l'., &c. While those gentlemen were talking over the 1 prospects of the country at the Man s i on H ouse , a banquet of a different character was proceeding at I the Theatre Royal, where the constituents and ad mirers of Mr. John Reynolds, M.P., were entertaining that gentleman at a public glorification, which formed a suitable tail-piece to the aggregate meeting of the preceding day. The pit of the theatre having been floored in fur the agricultural ball held there last week, a large space was athirded for the company ; and from four to five hundred persons sat down to dinner. The chair was occupied by Mr. Sadleir,, M.l'., and amongst those present were Sharman I Crawford, M.l'., N. V. Maher, NI.P., Rev. Mr. De vereaux, Sir John Power, Mr. A. Lynch, William Keogh, M.P., Otisely Higgins, M.P., Robert Keat inge, 3.P., the Rev. Dean Coll, and a large number of Roman catholic clergymen. The boxes were filled with ladies, and a band placed in one of the galleries enlivened the proceedings with music. After the health of " The Queen'' had been duly honoured, the chairman begged to give the health of another Sovereign whose temporal sway was contracted, but whose spiritual dominion was only bounded by the limits of the earth, and was recognised by 200 mil lions of the human rice—" Pope Pius IX. (Cheers.) The following toasts were then proposed, " The health of Prom: Albert and the rest of the royal family resident in England." " The health of * his grace the most Rev. 1)r. Cullen, Lord Archbishop of Armagh, and Primate of all Ireland, and the catholic hierarchy of Ireland," "Cardinal Wiseman (loud and prolonged applause), Lord Archbishop of Westmin ster, and the other membein of the catholic hierarchy and clergy of England and Scotland," "The health of John Reynolds, Esq., &'c., &c. As Mr. Reynolds's oration in reply to his health, may be considered as the toast of the evening, I subjoin some portion of it, that part especially in which the hon. gentleman makes a kind of conditional declani tion of rebellion, being worthy of attention: Mr. Reyuolds adverted to some circumstances connected with the passing of the Ecclesiastics' Titles Bill, and pro ceeded to say that the Marquis of Clanricarde, who voted for the addition of the informer's clause to that bill in the House of Lords, had had the audacity to think of thrusting his son us a representative noon the Roman catholic county of Galway. The iron chain of slavery and of human de gradation must have entered into the hearts of t h e Roman catholic clergy and bishops of that county, if they were prepared to accept the insult of the son of that miscreant minister being thrust upon them. (Cheers.) He (Mr. Reynolds) was a freeholder of Galway ; and if it was dared to put forward a scion of that degraded political house to insult that county, if there was nut a man iu Inland to go down to impends him on the hustings, so help him God, he would. (Cheers.) And then there was Lord Clarendou, who used to invite Dr. Murray to partake of his hospitality. The last time he (Mr. Reynolds) dined at the Ci.stle—for he only dined there once—he oust his Grace the Very Rev.Dr.Murray there ; and he might say this, that it was only part and carrel of the political politeness that haul been over and over again exercised towards that eminent prelate by that politi cal Bumble-rigger Lord Clarendon. lie would ask him was he likely to have Dr. Murray there again? Ile did not think there was any likelihood. The resolution of the day before, passed by the IttlM:ln catholics of the Cuited King dom, declared that the whin Prime Minister had for ever forfeited the confidence of the Roman catholics of the United Kingdom. (Applause.) They had drawn the sword and flung away the scab bard, and were determined that the whits should never enjoy a moment's rest until they hurled them from power. '1 he speaker, in continua tion, adverted to Lord Clarendon's letter to the Earl of Shrewsbury, and said lie mould ask Lord Clarendon this question—Did he, art the time he was libelling Archbishop WHO° to the Earl of Shrewsbury, write a private and confidential letter to the former, thanking him for the influence he had exercised in preserving the peace, telling him that he was an ornament to the church to which he belonged, and no language could convey the high esteem he entertained towards him ? (Groans.) If Lord Clarendon did not answer that question he thought be would get a copy of his private letter. Sir William Somerville, who had been returned to parliament by the Roman catholic people of Drogheda, haul betrayed them by voting tbr the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill ; they called on him to resign, but he answered them with his rf,sloo/. a year, awl said, "let me eat my pudding in sil e nc e ." Another slaw, and a catholic slave, was Montesquieu Bellew, who had been sent into parliament by catholic Louth. If the people did not hurl those traitor* from their high eminence, lie (Mr. Reynolds) would retire into private life, would mind busi ness, and would cease to workln hours out of the 21 in favour of the people. They would endeavour to increase the num ber of the Irish brigade from IL' to at least 60; and now he would come to the aggression against their religion. They would recollect the meeting yesterday, and he was proud of being the originator of that meeting, and it was to be followed up vigorously and determinedly (Hear, hear.) They were to have a Catholic Defence Association, which held its first meeting that day, and the chair was occupied by the Lord Archbishop of Armagh, who was supported as on the previous slay by the Archbishops of Tuam and Cashel, and five other bishops. They determined that their first public meeting should be held in Dublin, on the 2Uth of Septein see. (Hear, hear.) They would then go to work viJorously, and he believed an association would be estab lished which for numbers and respectability never was equalled. (Cheers.) Now, speaking seriously, were they prepared to allow a wet finger to pollute the sacred garments of their bishops ? (" No, no.") If Lord John Russell intended to prosecute their bishops, he had better get a double army, and increase the police, for the people of Ireland have made up their minds that the sacred persons of the bishops should not be touched by the hand of any officer of the law. (Cheers.) He would tell them what was more, that if he incarcerates the Arch bishop of Tuam or any of their other bishops, that he would have to walk over the dead bodies of the people. (Cheers.) He might be told that was idle talk; but if thee, was not a man living to give the advice, he openly declared that if the sacred persons of the bishops were to be followed by an informer, he would not only advise the people to resist him, but at all risks he would take a part in the contest. (Hear.) It was just as well that they should know what was to happen. (Hear.) Now, he hoped no protestant friends would blame him for that declaration; he would despise them if they did not rally round their bishops as they had doer, and in doing so, they were obeying the law of God, and disobeying the law ofdemons. (Hear, hear.) Mr. J. F. Maguire proposed the toast of the " Irish Brigade," which was responded to by Mr. Keogh, M.P. The Chairman then gave the health of the Duke of Newcastle, the Earl of Aberdeen, Sir James Graham, and the other members who so nobly opposed religious persecution. the result of the conference between Mr. S. Crawford and other Irish representatives on the one side, and the leading members of the Irish Tenant League on the other, has been satisfactory. Tho following announcement made this morning indicates this fact: An agreement having been come to at a conference, held yesterday, between W. Sharman Crawford, the Irish niem ben friendly to tenant right, and the council of the Irish Tenant League, on the landlord and tenant bill to be sub mitted to parliament next session, a public meeting of the friends of tenant right will be held this (Thursday) even ing, in the Music Hall, Lower Abbey-street, William Slur ! man Crawford, Esq., M.P. in the chair. The Irish mem bers friendly to tenant right will attend. The Freeman thus mentions the first meeting of the committee of the Catholic Defence Association : At eleven o'clock yesterday a meeting was held of the committee of the association to proceed with the prepara tion of the rules and regulations our the government of the association, and also prepare the address to the catholics of the empire, in compliance with the resolution of the aggre i gat! meeting. His Grace the Lord Archbishop of Armagh took the chair. There were present amongst others—The Lord Archbishop of Cashel, the Lord Archbishop of Timm, the Lord Bishop of Killaloe, the Lord Bishop of Clogher, the Lord Bishop of Elphin, the Lord Bishop of Clonfcrt, John Reynolds, Esq., M.P. ; William Keogh, Esq., M.P. ; John Sadleir, Esq., M.P. ; and Ouseley Higgins, Esq., M.P. Considerable progress was made in the drafting of the rules and regulations, and the preparation of the ad dress, which will be submitted for the perusal and amend ment, before final adoption, of the prelates of the United Kingdom, and those members of parliament who were on Tuesday nominated for that purpose by the aggregate meeting. The 17th of September has been fixed for the next meeting of the committee, when the prelates and mem bers will attend, by which time the rules and address will be finally prepared. _ Mom the Daily Ness.) A MORE instructive letter than that we inserted on Wednesday from Mr. EDWARD PERRY, the tin-plate manufacturer of Wolverhampton, it has rarely been our duty to . publish. It had, however, out great drawba . ek—its excessive length; and that, we fear, will have prevented its perusal to the extent its im portance demands. Let us, therefore, endeavour to remedy that defect by giving a rapid summary of its contents. In the town of Wolverhampton there are six tin-plate manufactories; that of our correspondent being one of the principal. Tin wares comprise several thousand articles; the process of theirmanufacture varies greatly in different shops, according to the superior or inferior application of machinery, and to the greater or smaller facilities afforded to workmen ; and of the higher class producers Mr. Enw.tan PERRY is, we gather, one. fhe substitution of me chanical power for human labour has not, however, had in his manufactory the effect either of lowering wages or of reducing the price of labour to a point scarcely compatible with human subsistence, as is so frequently imputed to the substi tution. On the contrary, concurrently with its use, the prices given in Mr. PERRVS work shop appear to have been remarkably stationary for ri a long sees of years; to have been capable of yield ing to his men 'far higher wages than they chose to earn; yet, notwithstanding their unwillingness to avail themselves of the full opportunity placed before them, to have produced them weekly remuneration very substantial in amount. For nine years Mr. PERRY had never lowered his rates, provisions during that time having fallen 25 per cent.; whilst, though compelled in January last to employ inexpert work men, they on an average made 30s. a week ; on the week before Christmas, exerting themselves with a view to its festivities, they earned 11. His. I!.d. a man ; and Mr. l'Eultv states that he is guilty of no exaggeration in saying that his adult tin-plate workers may, without over toil, produce on an ave rage 'l. a week a man. That, he instructively adds, "thee do not ordinarily receive thus much is solely attributable to their unfortunate propensity to waste a coasiderable portion of each week in idling and drinking." Up to April in last year, Mr. Peens - and his men had gone on comfortably and peaceably with each other on these long-established rates. In that month, however, he received by the London post an official looking letter front a body calling itself the Notiona/ ' Associate:at of Trades Unions, and signed " WILLIAM PEELV., Secretary." This communication informed hint, for the first time, that differences existed be tween him and his men, and that a deputation of persons front this metropolis would shortly wait upon him, for the purpose of mediating on these dis putes. bimilar letters, with the like Intimation, were also addressed to the other five houses in the same trade in the town. hi due course the deputation came, accompanied by three or four of his own men ; his London visitors explained to Mr. PERRY that they repirsented a great society. which had Mr. T. S. DeNeom tie for its presitkntand a fund of 20,t OW. for the support of its policy ; they expressed a desire that the existing rates or wages in all the manufac tories should be assimilated, though their circum stances, as we have stated, greatly varied; and they handed Mr. Ptautic what they called a " Hook of Prices," but which was simply a scale of wages, fur his adoption. Instead of at once repudiating their interference, Mr. PERRY temporised with them, until he had got large orders in progress executed, a considerable stock on hand, and written contracts formed with sixty of his test men. Then he announced the reso lution he had formed on their first intrusion—that he did not intend to submit to the dictation of strangers in the management of his business. War was at once declared against him, and those of his trade who acted with him, iby the National Associa tion; and it was begun and carried on in a most un scrupulous manner. ar requires funds. Now, though the association was said to have 20,000/. at its disposal, the first thing its secretary did was to issue a " levy " on its members, and to announce that all the tin-plate workers who left their employment 'should receive 124. (a a week. A " secret committee" was first formed by the metropolitan delegates, and then divided into sub-coi»mittees; to one was assigned the duty of receiving the "levy" and paying the weekly contributions; to a second, the task of placruding Wolverhampton with scurri lous songs and libellous publications; and to a third, the seduction and abduction of workmen and appren tices. To this organisation and its statements, Mr. Prase made such reply as was in his power; show ing how the allegation that he paid lower wages than other masters was untrue; and that in no shops in the town could more money be earned titan in lite. The strike was clearly an unwilling response to the central behests; and by means of apprentices and the man under written contracts, Mr. ferny ma naged for awhile to carry on his works. Now hero began what was clearly illegal. His contract men were seduced into beer houses; made drunk; when in a state of insensibility were there disguised, taken to the railway station, and despatched, without the knowledge of their wives and families, to distant places, where they were maintained in secresy and under moral duresse. Sonic were recovered, prose cuted and sentenced to periods of imprisonment for neglect of work. But the conspirators were not deterred. Three-fourths of Mr. ]'Fairy's men were lured away. His apprentices were induced to idle over their work, to spoil it, and to retard the opera tions of those willing to do their duty. Tin was stolen, tools were missing, patterns were destroyed, boys were abducted and taken off to London at a cost of Bs. each a week ; a number of Frenchmen, engaged to supply the vacant places, were tampered with, and 20 of them were carried off by one of the delegates, and their expenses back to Paris were paid by the association. Under the influence of this strike and of these dis orders, Mr. PMl's fellow townsmen began to think the fault must be his ; his reputation Buffeted ; he lost municipal distinctions he desired to have; and one or two of the local authorities "pronounced" against him. At last, however, privations brought some of the abducted workmen back to his shops; they asked forgiveness, resumed their engagements, and by degrees let out all the facts we have given a summary of. On their evidence Mr. PERRY, as we know, prosecuted and convicted the conspirators, in whose defence large sums were spent ; and he has thereby, it is to be hoped, given a cheek not to law ful combinations amongst workpeoplc, but to an organisation which substantially amounted to a trade in strikes. Indeed, since Sheriff AusoN by his courage and determination broke up the great combination which ruled so tyrannically over the manufacturing hands of Glasgow, and the proceedings of which ended in at least one murder, there has been no more signal service done to the honest workman than this of Mr. rum's. He has punished the persons who misled his men, but he received back to his employment the men who were so misguided : and ho has thereby asserted and vindicated freedom' ' of labour in every man, without the least vindictive ness for the injuries he himself suffered. And this is just the position a large English manufacturer'; ought to assume under such circumstances ; resolute ' and intrepid in the maintenance of great principles; humane and considerate in his relations to his work- • people. Into the discussion of the principles involved in this narrative we do not propose again to enter, ! having already examined and considered them before Mr. PERRY had supplied us with the facts of the case, in such copious detail. It is melancholy however, we must add, to see the true, honest, laborious, workman of our manufactories still so much at the beck and call of a mercenary central organisation here iu London ; to witness how easily he is induced to surrender part of his hardly earned wages to enable them to plot and scheme and live to his in jury and loss; and to perceive how a gentleman who in his time has rendered such signal services to the liberal cause as Mr. THOMAS ELINGsBY DUNCOMBE can lend the sanction of his name to an association, the proceedings of which in this matter have con signed their chief actors to Stafford Gaol, for a flag rant breach of the law of the land, and still more manifest violation of the Divine rule of doing unto others as we would they should do unto us.

So violent was the bishop, that Ensign Lee, 63rd, who was in chapel with a party from the detachment stationed at Killaloe, ordered the min out, and a report of the occurrence has been officially transmitted to government, by Mr. Cronin, R.M. We have been informed, says the same journal, that some vile miscreants desecrated the Roman catholic chapel of Wulf in a most shameful and dis graceful manner a few nights since, having secretly gained access to the edifice, destroyed property, and committed most disgusting and (Abusive acts of nui sance upon the altar! The tiayo Constitution publishes the following gratifying statement : Notwithstanding the ferocious warnings held out by a venal press against all Saxons who should dare to settle in Ireland, or disturb the peasantry of his right to live rent free, we are happy to find that English and Scotch gentle men am already last crowding into the far West. We are much gratified to learn that all the mountain farms on the estates of the Marquis of Sligo and Lord Lucas, arc let to several English farmers who have already introduced a vast number of stock, and employed a number of hitherto unem ployed labourers. The splendid scenery front Leenane to Louisburg—from Delphi to Westport, is now rendered more cheering by the " numerous flocks that range the fruitful hills." AVe have no hesitation in asserting, that from the class of settlers who hare taken lands in this county, that an amount of benefit will be derived both by the owners of the soil and the peasant labourers, which must eff:et a lasting good; and that the example of such farmers will be not only prouctive of the best results, but a'so induce many other Englishmen of capital to come amongst us. The subjoined extract from the -Vowle may ho taken as a succinct and well-digested statement of harvest prospects as they now present themselves in Ireland : The alarm which existed a few days ago on account of the potato crop has subsided, and apparently well-founded hopes are now entertained that comparatively little injury will be.done to the crop this season. The very treacherous character of the disease, and the rapidity of its operation, very naturally excite apprehensions as to the safety of the crop wherever the malady appears; but we also know that the disease may prevail very generally without doing much injury, the extent of its ravages depending on the state of the weather. During a portion of the past week the atmosphere was unusually warm and humid, the very condi tions which scent to promote the extension of the disease, and it accordingly appeared in mane plite:s, giving rise to the alarm which then prevailed. 'file recent change in the weather has, however, apparently counteracted the effects of that of last week, and the fields have generally re covered their green hue. We have had an opportunity of examining the crop throughout a large district in the centre of Ireland during the past few days, and we have not met with a single instance where much injury had been done to the crop. In most CAWS there is nut the slightest appearance of disease, and if we only have a caatinuance of dry weather fur a short time longer, the crop may escape altogether. The appearance of the other crops is, on the whole, satisfactory. The turnips are recovering from the attacks of insects, which committed such extensive ravages mine time ago. The grain crops Kok well, though a little light, and harvest has now generally commenced in the mid land districts. We have also seen several fields of sugar beet during the past few days, the luxuriance of which is per featly astonishing. In numerous instances, we have seen that crop growing along side the common manna wurzel, both having been sown at the same tint:: and treated in a similar manner, and there is even at the present time, a difference between them of apparently a month's growth in favour of the sugar beet. In fact, *o satisfied are the farmers of the Queen's County of the great superiority of the latter crop over the former, that they declare their de termination to abandon the growth of mangel waned in future, and to substitute the sugar lwet, even fur cattle feeding. The difflirence between the two crops is so great that so further apprehension need be entertained as to the great adaptation of the soil and climate of Ireland tor its production. The only doubtful point as to the success of the proposed manufacture of indigetious sugar has, there fore, ben entirely set at rest, by the triumphant success of the crop of this season. The Limerick Chronic!c says: -•- - From every district of the count y of Limerick the intelli gence received at our office, since past publication, as to the state of the potato crop, is highly :atiAfactory. The refresh ing rain soul genial sunshine WAS in most places resuscitated the withered stalks and leaves to their original promising bearing; while the plentiful supply daily to market denotes the abundant growth of the esculent. Competent judges, whose forebodings were at first desponding, now concede they were premature in pronouncing such an opinion, and admit there is little cause to apprehend that the blight will prove destructive, to an extent detrimental to the farmers. From Clare the accounts are also gn..4, u, indeed, are they from the surrounding counties, with few exceptions. The blight, partial as it is, set iu too late OILY season to lead to a disastrous result. CLERICAL SNUBRING.—The following amusing passage of arms at the catholic aggregate meeting', on the 19th, was squeezed out of our report published yesterday : The Lord Primate hero interrupted Mr Moore, and said that he was wrung if he intended to intimate that the Pope was ever inimical to civil lib er ty. Wh erever t h e catholic church prevailed there true liberty followed— (cheen)—wherever catholicity has been superseded, there slavery followed. It was so in every country frown the b. ginning of Christianity. (Cheers.) His grace thought that, :after having made that protect, the honourable milli bar would desist; and he hoped that it would be b e li eve d that the Pope as w e ll a s th e bishops were the true friends of civil and religious liberty. (Cheers.) Mr. Moore continued—My Lord Archbishop, if I have said anything expressing disapproval of the general policy of the court of Rome, nothing could have tx,en further from my intention. Any such expression would have been utterly beside my argument. (dear, hear.) They say that this is a great to do about a small matter ! it is not a small matter. (hear, hear.) Let them look to the history of their own country and be confuted—let them look to the history of other nations and be convinced. Was it a small matter when they drove James 11. from his throne, when a wrung inflicted upon the English hierarchy led to the glo rious revolution of 166 S --and then let them look abroad— let them look to the cane of Belgium, for initince —Bel gium*s ease was one of religious grievanec—(cheers)—like Ireland. As long as Belgium writhed upon that bed of thorns, she was disunited. discontented, clamorous, and miserable, like Ireland—she hail her Catholic party and her Orange party, like Ireland. At last Belgium rose in insur rection, as 1 fear Ireland would if she could, and as I tear Ireland will some day if England's present policy con tinues— The Lord Primate again interrupted the speaker, and said that he thought that the feeling of the meeting was not iu favour of insurrection. (Hear, hear.) Even if it was in their power, the Irish people were so attached to their sovereign, that instead of violating their allegiance, they would do everything they could to protect her on her throne. (Cheers.) They were sincerely attached to their sovereign, and they had been always so; and they were ready to maintain that re spect, even when persecuting laws were enacted against them. It was in accordance with catholic doctrine to up hold the cause of order. Ile knew that was what Mr. Moore intended to say, but lie (the Lord Primate) wished to say so much, holding the position he did. Mr. Moore, in explanation, said that he hail only to ob serve that whatever were the words he used, or whatever he did express, that he mule use of the very same words in the Ilouse of Commons without objection. (Cheers.) The Archbishop observed that, speaking in the house of Commons, if any member, while addressing it, made use of no expression contrary to the law, lie was not likely to be called to order. But that Wing a meeting of the nature it was, no such expression as Mr. Moore made use of should be addressed to that meeting, when it was against the doc trine of the catholic church. Mr. Moore continued—My lord, it is not for me to bandy opinions with your grace; I will only say, therefore, that catholic Belgium did rise in insurrection; catholic Belgium succeeded—(loud cheers); and religious liberty was esta blished. (Renewed cheers.) PALTER EMIGRATION.—.CLITDEN UNION. Through the meritorious exertions of the guardians of the Clifden union, in the county of Galway, they have succeeded in making arrangements fur the emigration of 2:30 or 300 female paupers to America, for whose outfit the officers of the workhouse have been constantly at work for the last month. A splendidly equipped vessel has arrived at her moorings at Clifden Castle, for the conveyance of those females. The captain is accompanied by his lady and a skilful physician. We understand, so mindful arc the Clifden guardians of the safe transit of those girls, that one gentleman has resolved that his own laugh. ten shall accompany them, to assist the captain's lady in tending to their wants. Possibly while we write, the vessel, with her living freight of Irish female virtue and mono eerier, is on her outward voyage for the "land of promise." Caslledar Telegraph. SENTENCE ON MR.
