DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING. I regret to say that the venerable Archbishop Murray has been seised with sudden illness, and at this moment lies at the point of death. Yesterday, he presided at the obsequies of the late Richard Lalur Shell, and in the evening appeared in his usual health ; but in the course of the night he was attacked with paralysis, and his great age gave his friends cause to apprehend, as soon aa the disease appeared, that it would bo fatal. It is probable that he may not survive until to morrow. Dr. Murray has lung been the head and chief support of the moderate party in the Roman catholic church in this country. The - estates of the Earl of Carrick, situated in the counties of Tippe rary ant{ Kilkenny, were sold this i day in ten lots, n the Encumbered Estates Court. The sum realised by the sale was 70,0001. Lord 'Castlereagh has addressed the electors of Down in explanation of his intention to retire from the representation of their county. lie says: Many reasons badges me to adopt this course • but by far the Newt ispseemat wee Is the esolieties I ewteWleis that we lower eider the essidesse el the leading lamest 01 the empty. My raked to wear with them whit aftecall corn laws bad bees bepeeled, were desirous of a return to protective duties; the conduct I purstvel with reference to the question of papal aggression; my support of the grant to Maynooth ; and, filially, my approval of the principle of the various landlord and tenant bills which hove been introduced into parliament, appear to have al tered the political relations which existed between many of my supporters and myself. I opposed the repeal of the own laws until parliament pronounced itself in favour of free trade. After that decision, I believed, and still believe, that the return to protection would nut be accomplished without hazarding the safety of our institutions. I therefore declined to take any part with those who desire the re-impo ' 'Atone( importdunes on foreign corn. I have always sup ' ported the I ust claims of my Roman Catholic fellow coun trymen. have therefore acquiesced in the grant to May nouth. While on the subject of papal NWT eh lion, resenting equally with others the course adopted by the Pope I entirely dissented from the proceedings and subsequent measures of Lord John Rus sell and her Majesty's government. Utterly repudiating the wild and dangerous doctrines of the Tenant League, I have looked anxiously to the hands of the legislature for. a solution of the compensation question ; I have wished to see a measure by which the tenant might be encouraged to improve, by acquiring • remedy against the toss of capital bona fide expended on his holding, and I have been convinced that it was unjust to ex pect the occupier to employ his money upon the land of another without a fair consideration, under proper arrangements, at the expiration of his 'ea.,. I have there • fore voted fee the introduction of vurous measures upon this subject, always reserving to myself the right of ques tioning, and, if necessary, dissenting from their details. The spring circuits commenced yesterday with the assizes of the town of Drogheda. Neither in the judge's charge to the grand jury nor in tho cases tried was there anything of the slightest general in terest. With the exception of this agrarian outrages in a few of tho counties, the calendars to be disposed of at the present assizes throughout Ireland exhibit few C 1134.11 that will excite public interest.

THE NEW FIRST LORD OP TIIE ADMIRALTY.— O'llyrne'r " Naval Biography" gives the following epitome of the Duke of Northumberland's services in the navy Thie officer (then Lord Algernon Percy, hut who was raised to the peerage us Lord Prudhoe in 1816) entered the navy in March, 1805, as first-class volunteer, on board the Tribune fri.:ate, _Captain R.

Prior to the receipt of the intelligence of his official advancement to the rank of enrumander, which took place the Bth of Much, 1814, his lordship occasionally acted as captain of the Scout and Pelorue sloops, and also of the Caledonia herself, in which ship he fought in a partial actin. with the French fleet off Toulon, and witnessed the fall of Genoa. lie subsequently - officiated for some months ns acting captain of the Conack, 22, on the coast of North Atm•rica, and at the petiod of his elevation to poet rank, the 10.. h of August, 1815, was serving at rurtsmouth, on board the Driftr sloop." 111LITAitY.

Though speculators show little tligposition to enter upon extensive operations, the Englisii btock mar ket is characterised by more steadiness to-day, and prices are maintained at a rally of In view of the abundance of money, and the large arrivals of specie, the " bears" are deterred from entering upon a combined movement, and th:is the unfavourable anticipations generally entertained in connection with the several appointments now being wide in I the various administrative departments, are neutral-i lard. Consols have been steady all day, at 97) to ), being a better than they left off yesterday. Another purchase of this stock has been etfeetea on account of the Sinking Fund.

In India Bonds scarcely anything is doing. Today being continuation day in the foreign Omit market arrangements are in props for The settle ment of the account now current. Peruvian Bonds again mark 100. The market is steady, with Mexi can Bonds at 32) to 33.

The death of the Queen of Madagascar will by many be received as a trivial occurrence, though it is in fact one of importance. By this event, as by that of the late King of Siam, an exclusive and ob structive policy is abolished, and under a liberal suc cessor there is every prospect of a fertile country being thrown open to our trade. The advancement of Madagascar now seemingly unchecked will influ ence not only the Mauritius and Natal, but will be a means of creating trade on the Attica(' east coast, so long lost sight of by the commercial world. Thu Portuguese monopolists have yielded their supremacy in presence of the Imam ot Muskat, the slave trade has fallen before our own cruisers, the head waters of the great rivers of that continent have be come known to our explorers, and a period has arrived when a new world, possessing great natural advantages, will be opened to our enterprise. The quotations of foreign exchanges were rather higher Teecrday, bills being more plentiful than mo ney, owing to improved rates from several continental bourses. Short Paris was negotiated nt 23.30 to 321; ditto, three months, at 25.47; to 50. Holland was much offered at 126., and done as high as 128.01 to a. There was some demand for Hamburg, but bills preponderating, the rate rose to 13.10) to 11. A similar movement necurred with respect to, bills on Italy, Spain, and Portugal, which were se verally a shade in favour of bayers. The transac tions in Austrian paper were insignificant; the rate on London has again risen on the other side, but bills on Vienna being is request to some extent here, the previous rate uf 12.3 G to 40 was maintained. The bullion market is without particular change, being bare of supplies till the arrival of the West India packet now looked for. The only movement is in the parcels of American gold, which continue to be received at Liverpool by the successive packets, and which find their way quietly into the Bank. The present quotation of American gold eagles is 3L 16s. 21d. per ounce ; but this coin is always melted, and in this shape the price rules at 31. 178.9 d. per ounce standard. The correspondence between Mr. Peabody and the Bank of England has been the subject of some dis cussion, and the latter seem fully justified in the course they have pursued in declining to take bul lion under standard so long as the Mint declines to take it from them. The commission of lad. per oz. is not certainly so lucrative that the Bank can fairly be held bound in the present time to take bullion of all assays, and to run the risk ef making what bar gain they can with the Mint fur its reception. If any party is in fault it meet be the Mint, and Mr. Peabody s course seems to be to tender his bullion to the Mint. The question raised by that gentleman is a grave one, and in the interest of this country, as the great bullion market, and with the prospect of the increasing importance of this trade, by the supplies from California and Australia, it seems de sirable that a satisfactory arrangement should be made. In suggesting that Mr. Peabody shall tender his bullion, or a portion of it, to the Mint, we are well aware that such a step cannot in the urdi nary course of trade be at all satisfactory to the merchants importing bullion here, us compared with the old practice of sending it to the Bank of Euglanc t3LLSII YU 211 , 4.—T414 DAT. flint Stork 214 1 Lot,; 146 3 per Ct.

The melancholy catalogue of disasters resulting from the late heavy rains in the northern comities fru been augmented by the occurrence of a good in a coal-pit, near Rochdale, by which seven persons are supposed to have perished. The scene of this calamity is the Chadwick Hall Colliery, at liirtle•tum-Bamford, between Rochdale nod Bury, and about a mile distant from the former. The col liery belongs to Masers. Roscoe and Lord, sad the pit in which the fatality took place has been worked about four year.. The mine is situated in a very hilly district; and the workings in the upper part of the slope from which the coal was got by other pardee, have been for some time abandoned, owing principally, it is said, to the difficulty of getting rid of the water. During the recent wet weather the water in these old mines has accumulated to such an extent that on Wednes day evening last, between tire and six O'CLOCK, it sudeleuly burst through into the main drift of Mawr.. Roscoe and Lord'. mine, whilst the colliers were at work. The wi.ter rushed in with great force, carrying pieces of coal aid other substances along with it, so that the drain' Iron the pit bottom soon became obstructed, and the flood reached a height of several yards in a very shoat time. Two of the colliers being near the shaft, and heurinu the no:so of the rushing water, with great difficulty MSC( card in reaching the cage, and were wound up iu safety. Two other men and two boys, who were in the upper part of the mine, retreated along the driftway, front which they were unable to escape in time; arid were rapidly per rued by the rising water. On reaching the top oldie drift way their further progress was prevented, cud they were compelled to watch its agonising suspense the gradual ap proach of the water to within a pew ruches art the placo where they stood, awaiting the doom which appeared in evitable. After remaining iu this perilous situation up wards °lei' hours they were enabled to escape through the subsiding of the water. There were still bee boys and three men In the mine, tar whose fat. , the most fearful ap prehensions were excited. The lifeless bodies of Hobert Shepherd and Samuel Wolstenholuie were recovered on the following day. The former was thirty years of age, and has left a widow and four children. His bed/ wet' much cut and bruised. Wolstenholmo wasa boy, sixteen years of ego. The names of the others arc Ilematniu Shepherd, seed 12 (son of Robert Shep herd); W. Oak*, 30 ; T. Lees, 30 (both married men with families); and three brothers, Ninny Howarth, IS; Robert, 14; sod Noah, 16; sons of a farmer in the neigh , hourhood. Another man, whose name we do not know, was taken out alive on Thursday, but live of the above per sons have yet to be accounted tor. 'the lift is tffty-four yards deep, and the length of the main drift is 260 yards. the water is vaned off from the pit bottom througa a tunnel drain underneath. to, a considerable distance, so as to empty itself in a purr of the country much betow the level of the lowest part of the mine. it is owing to this circumstance that one of the colliers were saved ; for if the drainage had had to be effected by pumping, as is the ease in many cord lithe 8, it would have haat iuspossilLe to rescue them. It i- implored that the won kings in Wore.
