Maeonachie told Vets that he had received advances from KRIM on his private account, aad that these sums were to he liquidated out of his salary. Mr. Kettle added that he told the mayor and one or two members of the tiosnec cemmittre of the circumstance. Capt. Maeonochie eu tsequently signed the statement of account which was w a de out against him. Capt. Maconuchie said that it Wes the height of cruelty that tins matter should be brought forward now ; two or t h re e pars WO, the very fullest answer to it could have b eta gives; as it was he could not believe that any mew.• would be rimied on him, especially having in view the t .enestness with which ho pressed on the justices to say what his fault. were before he left the gaol. They declined to aloe him say iaturrsation on that subject, but so far as ke was concerned, it at least showed a consciousness of in- Invitee. Mr. William Wilts, the present chairman of the visiting j e csee, was next examined.—lle deposed—l became chair man of the visiting justices in April last, having been • visiting justice a year or two previously. I never heard of the use of the handcuff. in Capt. Muonochie's time ; I had heard that there was one strait-jacket of the ordinary kind, which was occuionally used. Since Lie u t. A us ti n has brio gammen f hal heard of the strapping to the wall un til 3rd of May, in the pr sent year. I then acquired a knowleolie of the Esc% and also of the existence of two ceders oaly. I also then discovers el that there were modes of punishment carried on in the gaol which were illegal. I themcdistaly ntioned the eircumstanee to Mr. James, and be informed me that he knew nothing whatever about then We went to the gaol tog. they, and we ascertained thst the jacket and straps and collar were used as • means of punishment. I told the governor that these punishments erre highly i aproper, and I desired that under any cir- Cumstances they were sever to be inflicted sitain. I ordered the only two collate I saw to be lucked up and laid aside ; and having heard from the chaplain that there was a sys tem of Sunday punishments towards children, by putting them on bread and water, this I put • stop to. Mr. Welsby—Do Tie approve of the punishments that hare twee married on in this Rant—the strapping to the wall, the deprivation sit food end of bed and ass ? Mr. Willa—Cerainly not. I am • father and grand father. and sot only should not serialise, but highly dis approve of such punishment.. Mr Welsby—When the magistrates made their inqi.iry did thee examine Lawson ' •' ' _ . _ Mr. Wills—They did not. I admit that I was excited at the time, and I told him 1 di I not believe a word he said, n o r would I that of any man who had known of such nonishinents be described for months sad never made them known. We took the memorial, and examined all our etScers in teepee to the allegations made in it. We had no power to admit.ister an oath, and we did not examine dis charged vegan. Mr. Welaby—And, upon an examination so condoeted, you cams to the conclosi. , n, with reference to the allegations of Lawson, that his them' against the warden were not substantiated; and that with reference to the loaves being toad in the cell and left there for • time by the warder, that statement was also 'intros? ter Will.—Yes; that was this report of the 20:h of April. Rathbun.. afterwards varied his statement, W.lsey—l think that the findiiig.;f the justices was inemcistent even with the (dint& they had before them. d.ny what Lawson says about the boys being deprived of ford for days together, whereas that was a very common centrum& ? . . Mr. Willa—lt was denied by all the witnesses before us; I know it was sorifm.. Mr, Welsby— t s admitted by almost every witness. Mr, was quite shocked to hear it. Mr. Wdsby—Who were the visiting juliers said by Mr. Aisne to have seen prisoners in the collar and straps ? Mr. Wills—lt was Mr. Le -7 and Mr. Luekeock. 1 must Mg to state that 1 courtly deny using the words imputed to me by the chaplain, that he bad loco misled by a tissue of la s._ . lvhould be ashamed to use such words. Dlr.Uelsby—Dii you ever discourage the chaplain from making complaints about occurrences in the gaol ? Mr. Wills—Certainly not. I consider that to point out improprieties was one of the special purposes for which be was placed there. I mutt repeat, that I knew noti ing of the :punishments going on in the gaol, and have been shocked to hear of them. Mr. Perry, the Prison Inspector, was next called and examined. Ile stated, w ith reference to a passage contained in his last report, that "the prison punishments in this gaol were not of any moguitude;" that be never knew what pasishments were going on, inasmuch As they were not re corded in the punishment-book ; and he added that he had on one occasion warned Mr. Austin that he had been obliged to report Leicester gaol to the ll9me-office, because boys RCM deprived of their food for not doing their crank labour, and at the same time drawing his attention to the clause in the particular act of parliament, which fixed the limit of his authority as governor to punish prisoners. Mr. Welsby asked him—Did you think that what was going on in the gaol was sanctioned by the magistrates ? Mr. Perry—After the suicide of Andrews I saw two of the visiting justices at the gaol, Mr. Wills and Mr. James, and they said with great candour that whatever had been done they had authorised. I told them to be careful how they made such an admission, because they might not be aware of the extent to which the punishments had been carried. Mr. Wills and Mr. James both rose immediately and &F -iled that they had ever admitted that all done at the gaol had had the sanction of the visiting justices. Lieut. Austin also denied all recollection of the caueon spoken to Mr. Perry ever having been given to him ; but (he said) his opinion had Dena that fur all he did he was authorised by the law. And with Mr Austin's denial this unexampled inquiry closed ; but before the court broke up, Mr. Wrlsby read the following opinion of the Commissioners in reference to the extraordinary charge against Capt. Etseonechie : "The commissioners having thought it right to investigate the matter relating to Captain Maconochie's having, as was ell ged, made a misappropriation of monies advanced to him fur the use of the gaol, but feeling, at the same time, that that is a matter not within the limits of the report they will have to make, think it right that they should not with- hold the expression of the opinion they have formed on this matter; and that opinion is founded on the examination of the books, on the evidence of Mr. Kettle, on the state. meat and conduct of Captain Maeonochie himself, and on the conduct of the saagistrutes in their sub sequent communi-ations and Immtmetions with Captain blicebochie ; and of the eironalManeee under which this thug* has been now for MN fleet titue gehMely made, is this:—' That the Commissioners see no saident ground for male( to a conclusion that Captain 'bemoans was guilty of any criminal misappropriation of the borough fends, or of any intention to misappropriate them.'" The 'editors marked their empathy and arneurrenee i• the above sentiments by a shout of applause ; and then, after the interchange of mutual courtesies between the memorialists and the commissioners, and Mr. Wills on behalf of the magistrates, the court rose at six o'clock, Mr. Webby, on behalf of himself and hie brother east siesioson, conveying his spooled thanks to the polies tar the eeeirtaaee they had rasiorsd them is askiiliq sad yrreerriag order throughout tits he dry.

Wit less made the bet gegasts to voters some time after the election, masa, to WI. On the night of the nomina tion Bremridge mellamed to spend money illegally, and witness, with the pasigal agents of the party, was of opinion that thei ses senid set save the election. On the polltng rn moing, sle o'clock, witness heard from Young that mosey was to be spent, but took care not to know what was gag on. Thought Mr. Bremridge knew nothing about it, although hearse two or three times to the polling room during the day. Witness maw many mien go into Mr. Petter's room ; but did not know they were to be paid for voting. Supposed they only went to Isok at the mosey. (Laughter.) Had received nothing for his own services, or the use of his room., nor benefited in at., any, directly or indirectly, by the election. After the election, saw the various sums of money paid to voters by Mr. Young and Mr. Petter. Was of opinion, so far as re tarded I certain clue, that the householders were quite as bbd as the freemen, it not worse. The difference amounted to only eight or ten between the two, out of the whole num ber bribed. Mr. Kingsoo said there were three times as many house holders as freemen in the borough. The Chief COMMIOW9OOf —Well. WO will not dispute about that. The conservatives, I suppose do not want to t.-inalify the householders, and the liberals do not with to the votes of the freemen. (Laughter.) SG. .1. Greek Stated that be gave 61. to a voter named Poulson on behalf of Breniridge and Fraser, and 61. to Mrs. Drew,, wife of John Drewe. Witness did not pay money to Mrs. Drew*, but they owed him 61. for good., and witness knowing he would get the money from Mr. ettey gave a receipt for the amount. When Mrs. Drewe found De would have to come before the commissioners she WU very uuch ashamed, and brought back the tit. to witness. Witness took it to Mr. Petter, but that gentleman refused to receive it, and witness had it yet. Drew. and his wife had persisted in denying throughout along examination the fact of having received any money *other consideration for the vote, and the commissioners tonsequently directed that they should again be called. upon their appearance, having been sworn, they both ad mitted the accuracy of Mr. Greek's statement, and were reprimanded by the commissioner for " concealment upon oath." which was equally liable to punishment with direct hisehoud. Adjourned till Tuesday. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAT EVENING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1853. BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCE -- - - WENT OF SCIENCE. ACLL, TCZSDAT. The adjourned general committee meeting was held yesterday afternoon, after the despatch of oar parcel. ?he minutes of the preceding meeting having been read and confirmed, and signed by the president, it was an nounced that imitations had been received front Liverpool, Glasgow, Lard., Brighton, and Gloucester. Professor Phillips asked if say other gentleman bad the paws of any other town which he was authorised to add to the hat. Professor Stavelly, on looking round the room, did not see Professor Allman present, and therefore repeated the invitation with whieb that gentleman wen charged from the city of Dublin, which was pre sen t e d last year at Belfast. Dr. Dickinson, president of the Liverpool Literary and i Philosophical Society, and chairman of a meeting formed of deputations from the various literary and scientific so. eieties in that town, appeared to present officially the invi tations of those bodies to visit Liverpool next year. The invitation to visit Liverpool was supported by Mr. Yates (the representative of the Mayor and Corporation of Liverpool), and by Dr. llume, who stated that that town was about to expend a considerable sum of money in the erection of a library and museum, open free to all the world. (Cheers.) The invitation to visit Glasgow was supported by Mr. Liddell, of that city, by Dr. Walker Arnett, the repre sentative of the Literary and Philosophical Society of Glas gow, and by Mr. Smith, of Jordan Hill. Mr. Ward, of Leeds, brought forward an invitation for the association to meet at Leeds in 1836, by which time the new Town-hall would be completed. A letter, renewing the invitation from Brighton, was next read. Mr. Ousiot urged the claims of Gloucester, in the absence of any deputation from that city. 111 was supported b Dr. Dunbeny, H. E. Strickland, Eq., and R. Groves ' Esq., but he ultimately withdrew the invitation on the grounds that he had no means of satisfying the officers of the association as to what accommodation there was for the association in the event of its accepting the invitation. James Haywood and Dr. Scoresby urged very strongly the claims of Liverpool, and it was agreed on that the neat meeting of the association should be held in Liverpool in the latter part of August or the beginning of September, 111.54, the exact date to be fixed by the council. On the motion of Colonel SABINI, the Earl of Rae rowby was elected president for the Liverpool meeting. Lord Wrottesley, Sir Philip Egerton, Dr. 'Jewell, Pro. lessor Owen, Mr. Tavel!, and Mr. J. B. Yates were ap pointed vice-presidents. Mr. Dickinson and Dr. Thomp- son were appointed local secrct.irits for the next meeting, and Mr. Robert Mc Andrew treasurer. The PnEsitiesir then announced that Dr. Roy's, the late general secretary, had resigned his office, and moved a vote of thanks to him, which was carried. Colonel Sabine was, with his consent, appointed general secretary. Professor Phillips was re-appointed assistant general eeeee ry, amidst grist cheering ; and Mr. J o h n Taylor general treasurer. The council for the ensuing yes, was then appointed, and the committee adjourned until Wednesday afternoon. This (Tuesday) morning the various sections sat for the last time in Hull.

(mom ova omg GLOUCESTER, TUIIDAY. The festival of the three choirs of Gloucester, Hereford, and Worcester took place this day under the most favourable auspices. A heavy fall of rain last night cleared the sky, and the weather to-day has been most de lightful. A great many strangers arrived in the course of yesterday, and the temporary population of the city was further increased to-day, fresh arrivals continuing to pour is thretishout the morning. The doors of the cathedral wars besieged at an early hour, and, on the opening of the service, with which these festi vals are always initiated, the interior of the venerable pile presented a grand and impos ts* sigke gat eschestra, floor, gallery, and aisles being nom -lilt 1 eels& the conductor. Mr. Arnett, having taken leis picas the festival opened, as has been usual almost from Moe immieMedal, with Headers " Esther" overture which was *pea by the bead with the customary perfsetiosi. The pima ed empumes were those of TOL, and bad • grand =le $OO rar 400 voices uniting aad resemadiag with grandeur, from the fretted roof soli vaulted aisles ofthesamed building. The Ts Dom was Ifearbl's, that I compesed fee the victory of Dettingen. The paimeipal solo parts were taken by Mr. aid Mrs. Lackey, mil Mr. Weiss, the basso monde, who did his share wfth juagment He is evidently • rising artist. The tommmeil pub is " Them art the King of Glum" sail ether passages, went off with unused parfait/An. The novelty of the esoraiag was the salbem of Dr. Elroy which was written for tide festival mid was etimanal=ths amp met himself. It is biele wimps, fee • bat is Galled a " feellwileas." It anomie la passages, and the drums are very grand mil amanive, while the principalship's, orchestra, and ahem, to vie with each ether ls giving effect to IL The= " Clouds sad Darkens," is exceedingly effective ; and the double chorus, At hie sight the mountains are shaken," is dramatis in expression, the music being made to convey the meaning and spirit of the wends, which an taken from the 47th psalm, commencing "The Lord is king." The them, "0 ye that love the Lord," is very like the chorus, " Blessed are the men who fear him," in the Elijah. The concluding chorus is a clever spa men of writing, and displays Dr. Elvers ability as • composer. The anthem will bear frequent repetition at fes tivals of this character. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Clazson from Chronicles, Book 1., chap. verse 8 ; the passage being descriptive of David's praise of Ond, with instruments and voice, and this text was admi rably treated in the sermon. Among the clergy present, besides the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, and the very Rev. the Dean, were the Rev. H. K. Luso:nob. (who in toned the envie"), the Rev. C. Crawley, precentor (who read the lessons), Rev. Sir J. Seymour, canoe of Glouces ter, Rev. Sir W. Duel!, Rev. Frampton, honorary canoe ; Archdeacon Thorp, Rev. Mr. liscott, the Dean of Bristol, Rev. Dr. Evans, Rev. H. A. S. Attwood, Rev. F. T. J. Bayley, Rev. L. B. Clutterbuck, Rev. H. B. Evans, and Rev. Canon Hutchison. The collection at the doors (or the charity amounted to 1861. 2t. 10d. Tut: HONG-KONO Poet-orptce.--A correspondent complains warmly of the inefficiency of the post•office at Hoag-Kong, and says " that when a mail arrives within a day and a half of the despatch of another, which not un frequently happens, the arrived lettere are not delivered until the outgoing mail is despatched. On a recent occa sion two days intervened. The mail steamer arrived on Sunday before 6 p.m., the outgoing mail was made up on the Tuesday, sod the arrived letters were delivered at 6 p.m. on the latter day. Why not employ a post-office clerk who would sort the letters on the voyage out and in ?" If this statement be correct, the post-office here should cer tainly take measures to remedy such a state of things. That merchants and others should have their letters thus de tained, and be compelled to write homewards or outwards without the benefit of the information thus doubly sealed up at the pat-office, is such a violation of duty on the part the offiials as calls for the immediate intervention of the • THE I)owtals Wonits.—These works are now in activity again, the whole of the colliers who remained upon the spot continuing in the labour they hive resumed. They do not, however, number more than 300 men, whereu the farce that struck for the advance was fully 1,200. The others have gained employment elsewhere. A number of the best men have emigrated to Australia ; and so great has been the emigration from Merthyr, that by 30 per cent. does it exceed the influx. The ironmaaten cannot depend upon an Irish supply, as the natives of the sister isle prefer America or Australia, and labour is scarce in all the Welsh markets. The works at Dowlate bays bees put into a state of thorough repair, new brickyards having been erected. CITY COURT OF SEWERS. ANTI COLERA RECAUONS. Yesterday, the H cow sa t TI for the first time Moos the holidays for the despatch of business. The medical officer read the following report, of which the following are the main points: " According to the desire of the commission, I have in quired into certain nuisances complained of in canoe:inn with the altered system of slaughtering in Newgate-market. It appears that, in consequence of the suppression of slaughtering in cellars within the City, there has been a greater demand, especially in this locality, for other slaughtering places, and many of those persons who own registered slaughter-houses in Newgate•market have been induced to share them with the diaplaced slaughterers. In consequence of this hospitality, the amount of slaughtering in particular premises hu increased very considerably, and such premises have, in fact, assumed altogether the charac ter of public slaughter-houses, where on many days slaughtering goes on continuously. The frequent, or rather continuous removal of offensive material, is not only a nuisance to the neighbours, in respect of its stink, but likewise, I am informed, interferes with the business of the market; and I wink' recommend that your regulation relating to the removal of refuse matter be reconsidered, with a view to remedying these evils. " From such inquiry as I have been able to make on the subject, it appears to me that three hoofs would prove amply sufficient for the purpose of clearing away all refuse mutters from all the slaughtering places of the locality, and that the hours from 8 to 11 p.m. would be a convenient and suitable time. Likewise, in case of your honourable court approving any such regulation as I have suggested, by re stricting the employment of each slaughter-house to the per sonal uses of the registered owner of the same, it appears to me that it would very much conduce to the health and cleanliness of the locality, that slaughtering be allowed only within flied houre—say from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. ; so that during the greater part of the day the place might be in a condition of tolerable freedom from nuisance. Of course the details of such regulations require to be adapted very carefully to each other, and to the necessities of the trade. And perhaps your honourable court will refer these partr enters to the consideration of one of your committees. I deeply regret to apprise your honourable court, as an ample justification of whatever strictness you may think it requi site to apply in sanitary regulations, that at the present time there is great reason to apprehend a renewed visita tion of Asiatic cholera through the country ; and I have already received official information of the disease prevail ing in as epidemic form at Neweastle•on-Tyne." Mr. H. L. TAYLOR a a that he thought the concluding paragraph of the report rather tended to alarm ; yet he hoped there were no sufficient grounds to anticipate the existence of cholera in this country—at all events, in the City. The subject -matter of the report was one of the greatest importance, but before the court could deal with an evil of so great a magnitude, ample provision must be made far slaughtering in place. In a few mi n ut e s some members of the court, insult Included, intended visiting the site of the n e w ma et, where convenie n t an d suitable houses would be erected f or slaughtering cattle ; anal and when completed, which he hoped they would be at no distantieried, the MITI would big as a position to take the most efficient measures to get tido( the nuisance complained of in the report. He thought,it of great importance, with a view of mitigating the existing evil, that owners of nips trued houses who allowed non-registered owners and others to slaughter in them should be made amenable to law, as suggested by the medical officer. Mr. ELLIOTT said that in his judgment the whole City of Lon.,on ought to be grateful to Mr. Simon for hie able impart, and moved that it be referred to the General Purposes Committee to consider the brat means of carrying out the excellent recommendations contained init. The motion having b.en seconded by Mr. Deputy CIIIIIB - was carried unasimously. It was unanimously decided that Oracechurch-strest should be paved with wood under Mr. Carey's patent, after which the court adjourned. ASIATIC CHOLERA IN SOUTHWARK. Yesterday Mr. W. Payne held an inquest at the request of the beard of guardians of the parish of St. George the Martyr, Southwark, at the workhouse, Mint street, on the body of John Hickie, age 55, who, it was be lieved had died of Asiatic cholera, under very shocking circumstances. The greatest interest wag attached to the proceedings, in consequence of this being the first case of Asiatic cholera, that kas appeared in this district this year, precisely in the same locality where the disease made such frightful ravages on its appearance in 1849. The place whrre the man died is surrounded by kneelers' yards, bone boilers, and cat-gut makers. One of the witnesses, Mr. J. W. Waklem, sorgeoa to St. George's, Southwark, and also to the Queen's Prison, said he received a communication from the re lieving officer to attend • person suffering from alto• fern on Saturday. Not being at home at the time, his assistant attended, but witness followed him a few minutes after six o'clock. lie found him suffering from Asiatic cholera, with all the peculiar characteristics of that disease, such as purging and severe cramps. The purging subsided between 8 and 9 in the evening, after which he sank Into a state of collapse. He continued in that state until the following day at live o'clock in the evening, when he died. No reaction whatever took pleat. It was his opi nion that nothing was wanting, and everything was done for him that was possible. There had been another case of the same description in the same house that morning. A child of the deceased had been attacked with cholera, to which be had administered. Another child had also been ►ttacked at a house two or three doors from the house of the deceased. Mr. Walkem here read a report which he bad framed from inspection of the house and its neighbourhood, and which fully supported the statements of the other witnesses respecting their horrible condition. Questioned by a juror, the witness said, these spartments are totally unlit for hu man habitations They were never without fever, if not attended by cholera. A great number of families had been destroyed in that very place. There was no ventilation, for they could get no free current of air, as there were no windows at the back. _ The Coroner summed up, instructing the jury that unless it appeared that the death of John Hichie could be dis tinctly referred to some particular nuisance no verdict suited to become the groundwork of criminal proceedings could be returned. He then animadverted upon the unsa tisfactory state of unitary jurisdiction, complaining that between the parochial officers, the Board of Health, and the Privy Council the neighbourhood wu left in a dreadful state. The jury then returned the following special verdict: " That the deceased died from Asiatic cholera, induced from the unwholesome trades carried on in the neighbour hood ; that it is the opinion of the jury that the board of guardians ought to be invested with the authority they for merly held under the Board of Health in such matters, and that that power should be continuous." A guardian said that on the previous evening a spe cial meeting of the board of guardians had been held, when it was determined to use all mean in their power to obtain a remedy for these evils. The following resolution, oa the motion of Mr. George W. Cross, wu then proposed, and was unanimously adopted, " That the relieving oaken shall get all the Information they can by house to hours vi sitation, that the board may make • strong appeal to the Board of Health kW powers to sup these nuisances." is Tr inquisition was then and the proceedings minated. DETUXIIIED SUICIDE.—On Sunday evening last, as Mr. Harris, landlord of the Nag's Head Ins, Borough, was passing from Beckenham to Lewisham, he discovered • man suspended by • handkerchief round his neck from a gate in Beckenham-lane. He immediately cut the man down, but life was then extinct. The assistance of police constable Happerton, 305 R, was obtained, and the body was removed to the Green Man public-house, Southend, where an inquest was held by Mr.Carttar, when the de ceased was identified by hie mother, Mrs. Sedgely, of the Coburg-reed, Old Kentroad, and who stated that the deceased, when she lest saw him alive, on the previous Thursday, appeared very low and strange in his manner. On being searched, an empty bottle was found on his per son marked " Poison." The jury returned a verdict of Temporary insanity." The height of the gate to which he had suspended himself was not more than three feet from the ground.—KentisA Mercury. THE FUGITIVE BANKRUPT.—The detective officer who followed Todd, the fraudulent bankrupt distiller of Newcastle, to America on behalf of his creditors has, it is stated, written to his employers to arty that he trace d Dim all the way to the state of Wisconsin, where ho has pur chased • large farm. The officer found the delinquent in the field busy at work, but the latter, with some other hoe tile parties, resisted the efforts of the officer to arrest him; and, finding his warrants not sufficiently legal to all for the interference of the local authorities, the officer has written home for fresh instructions. DEATH OF MR. O'CONNELL, OF GRENAIL—A French country paper, the impartial cis Bretagne, an nounces the sudden death in the small town of Dinan, of Mr. John O'Connell, late of Orensh, county Kerry, a bro ther of the Irish liberator. The deceased was, during his long career as a resident landlord on the margin of Killar ney' s romantic waten, a model of old Irish hospitality and public spirit, conciliatory and tr u ly lib era l, o f genuine inde pendence, and universally popular. On many national questions he took views at variance with those of his late brother ' • and not only thought, but act e d i n politics, for what he deemed the real interests of Ireland. STEALING SEES.—A rather amusing case of theft was tried before Sheriff Arkley on Saturday. A man named Robert Robertson, was brought up charged with stealing a swarm of bees from a place near West Calder ; and so dexterous bad he become in this peculiar species of depredation, that it appeared he had acquired the soubri quet in the district of " Bee Robbie."

NEW ACT ON COMMON LODGING-UOUSEB.—The new act on common lodging-houses will shortly take effect. Three months after the passing of the same on the 4th ult. all common lodging-houses are to be registered before being kept, and to be kept only by registered keepers. Power is now given to remove sick persons from common lodging houses, and to destroy clothes, &c., to prevent contagion. Report' may be required from the keepers of common lodging houses for beggars and vagrants. A third convic tion is to disqualify a person from keeping a common lodg ing -house. IRELAND. Dersuw, 13. The revision of th e parliamentary voters' SlPT. list for the city of Dublin commenced yesterday, when the liberal party were almost wholly unrepresented, while several active agents were present for the con servatives. The apathy of the liberals, if unchecked, seems, in fact, in a fair way to abandon the repre sentation of the city to the tort' party indefinitely. The subscriptions f o r th e Dargan Institute are coming in, although not as rapidly as might be ex pected. At a meeting of the committee, yesterday, letters were read from the representatives of several trades, stating that collections were in progress in aid of the movement, some trades having already sent in their ontributions. Twenty p oun d s ea ch were acknowledged from Thomas Hone, Esq., N.P., the Earl of Meath, and Messrs. J. Warden and Sons, Birmingham; a n d ten pounds each from Lord Dunally, Charles Patland, Esq., Judge Crompton, Sir John Kin gs t on James, and Sir Benjamin Chap man. The Dowager Lady Chapman and Mrs. Gib bon are amongst the foremost of the ladies to join the movement. The number of visitors 3'estarday at the Great Exhibition was 9,873. The arrangement of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway for conveying per sons to the Exhibition for greatly reduced fares has begun to take effect. The following harvest report appears in the Meath Herald : Within the last week a great quantity of oats has been cut down in this district, which, in general, bears a good head ; and, to all appearance, superior to that of last year. In some field• the stem is short in growth. From such Crops as are being thrashed the yield is favourable as to quality, and when the complement of ground comes to be considered, we should say that the produce will be ens fourth more than that of last year. As for potatoes, they have not been so productive nor so good in quality for the last seven years, at least so far as the season has ad vanced ; what the future may do remains to be told. At present the disease is chewing itself in every quarter ; and it is much to be feared that a portion of the crop will perish. The crops of mangold and turnips are doing well ; some little failures appear, bat still there will be an abundant crop of turnips, so much so that in all probability the price will be considerably under that of '52. If the early meadows were light, the late ones exhibit an go crop. On the whole, the people of this country have every reason to be truly thankful to a kind Providence for having blessed the land with such an abundance of food both for man and beast. Flax produce and manufacture are beginning once more to attract a largo share of attention in Ireland, and the new mode of preparing flax from the green straw, invented by Mr. Davy, of Crediton, in Devon shire, has been brought under notice here with good effect. The flax prepared by Mr. Davy's process, as shown at the Great Exhibition, is thus noticed in the Freeman's Journal: The flex prepared by Mr. Davy arrested our attention, as doubtless it hes that of many other observers, by its beauti ful and delicate pale green colour, and by its wholesome, fresh, and agreeable smell, differing so much in both these respects from flax prepared in the ordinary way. The pe culiarities of Mr. Davy's flax, and of Mr. Roche's cordage, arc attributable to the flax having been prepared in both cues without steeping the straw, whereby the natural colour, quality, and s'rength of the fibre are preserved, to- gether with its oleaginous and other valuable properties. So much with respect to the specimens of flax and cordage. Mr. Davy, however, does not content himself with effecting by mechanical means a perfect separation of the fibre from the plant in the manner described, but he proceeds to soften and bleach the fibre when separated by a novel and peculiar process, which forms a part of his invention and patent, and the yarns to which we have referred serve to show how well he has succeeded in this respect ; they are beauti fully white, and remarkably soft and silky. Some bleached fibre is also exhibited by him of like character. The machine invented by Mr. Davy for separating the flax fibre, and which he designates the " Decorticator," is so light and portable that it might be put on an Irish car and con veyed from farm to faun, wherever flax is grown, and immediately set to work by means of very slight steam, water, or horse power. Having speedily effected the tape ration of the fibre and seed, without the tedious and costly process of steeping it leaves the refuse but valuable husk and shoves for fudfng and manuring purposes, to be used where the flax itself' has been grown, amply replenishing any exhaustion sustained by the land in its growth. The machine delivers the fibre in the form of a sliver, which, when token away from the farm, is to be converted into a loose roving, then reeled into hanks and in this state softened and partially bleached according to Mr. Davy's further and new mode of treatment. Another prominent advantage in Mr. Davy's new machine is that it prevents that great waste of fibre, in the shape of tow, which takes place under the ordinary mode of uutching. We under stand Mr. Davy is come over to Ireland, and intends very shortly to set one of hs mulaiuse at weak at Mr. Reeho's mills at Trabolgan. DUBLIN POLICE. EXTILAOILDINAILY CHAROII Or PIN3I7IT. At the Capel-street police -court on Monday, Mrs. Sarah Kelly, one of the parties in the famous will ease of " Kelly v. Thewles," appeared before the presiding magistrates, Dr. Kelly and Mr. O'Callaghan, to answer the complaint of Mrs. Elisabeth Deese, otherwise Thewles the other party in the same cause, for having committed ;wilful and corrupt perjury in a certain affidavit sworn In the Court of C hancery. Mr. J. D. Fitzgerald, Q.C., counsel for the prosecution, stated the cue. He said he was instructed to apply, on be half of Mrs. Elizabeth Deese, otherwise Thewles, that in formations should be received against the defendant, Mrs. Sarah Kelly, for perjury, committed in an affidavit, to which he would presently call the attention of the bench, and it was very likely that the charge would afterwards assume another shape against her—namely, that of a mis demeanour, for having procured the destruction of docu ments which were in issue in the causes of " Kelly v. Thewles;" and " Thewles v. Kelly," and which were of the utmost importance to the ultimate decision of that cause. It was generally known that a suit had been for some years pending in the Ecclesiastical Courts between Mrs. Deese and Mrs. Kelly, the person then charged. The case first came be fore the judge of the Prerogative Court, who pronounced • dens ion, from which there was an appeal to the High Court of Delegstes,who gave judgmentin favour of Mrs. Deus. Mrs. Kelly then applied for a Commission of Review to the Lord Chancellor, and in rapport of that proceeding she made the affidavit in question. The petition which she presented, asking for a Commission of Review, stated, among other matters, " that the judgment of the Court of Delegates was founded in a great measure on certain letters alleged to have been written by the petitioner (Mr. Kelly) to one John Robert Melon." He begged to call the attention of the bench to • passage in the affidavit made to verify that pill not). It was this—" And deponent positively oath that the letters, of which the exhibits A, B C, D, ifte., purport to be copies, were written by deponent, but are foms ries." So that, having in her petition stated that thejudg recut of the delegates against her was mainly founded on these letters, she smarts in her affidavit that they were n written by her at all, and wen forgeries. It was in reference to this statement that the charge of perjury then preferred ageism Mrs. Kelly was founded, and the charge of procuring the destruction of documents related to the let ten referred to in her affidavit. Having recapitulated the history of the well-known case of "Kelly v. Thew*" the learned counsel went on to state that the letters in question were written by Mrs. Kelly, from lipffid, Sussex, to Mr. John Robert Malone, her late husband's attorney, and that some of them bore the poet mark of that place. Before her marriage with Mr. Edmund Kelly in the year 1838 the defendant formed the design of obtaining posses sion of his immense property, and in furtherance of her plans she fixed upon Mr. Malone as a person who was well suited to assist in carrying out any arrangements which her hus band might think proper to make. It would appear from these letters that in order to gain over Mr. Malone to her purposes, she professed to entertain a great affection for him, and gave him to understand that if he would aid her in procuring from this old man • conveyance of all his property, and a ratification of that conveyance by will, she would marry him as soon as Kelly was dead. In the year 1837 she did succeed in procuring a con veyance to be executed, transferring Kelly's enor mous property to her own benefit after his decease, and through the aid of Malone a will was made in the course of the same 3 ear. It became a question of great importance whether the letters to Malone were genuine or not, for if they were there would be evidence of • conspiracy, the character of which ha would not venture to describe. Copies of five letters had been preserved, but more than that number had been burned. Counsel then read the five letters in question, which abounded in expressions of at tachment towards Mr. Malone, and references to the pre paration of a conveyance and a will which were to be executed by Mr. Edmund Kelly in her own favour. Other letters were also written by the defendant to Mr. Malone about the same period, but only one of them was seen by Mr. Greer, the gentleman who took copies of the five which he had read to the bench, and the only passage in this letter which had been p reserve d was the following :—" You are to prepare • deed as well as • will. I told him (Mr. Kelly) that if he would not consent to do so I would have no confidence in him." These documents were executed in 1838, and it ap peared that the marriage was subsequently celebrated ; and it was a remarkable fact that, although the defendant had previously gone by the name of Sarah Kelly, she was de utibed in the marriage license as Sarah Birch, spinster. Counsel having referred to the death of Mr. Kelly in 1845, and the litigation which arose after his decease between Mrs. Kelly and Miss Thewles, proceeded to refer to certain negotiations which it was alleged took place between Mr. Malone and the defendant, or persona acting in her behalf, with reference to the destruction of the letters above re ferred to. These letters, counsel observed, were of import ance, because one of the charges preferred by his client, Mrs. Nue, being that the documents in question were procured by fraud, it was of the utmost consequence to show that Mrs. Kelly was corresponding with Malone, promising to marry him, and urging him to procure a certain disposition of Mr. Kelly's property. Mr. Malone demanded 6,0001. for the letters, and Mr. Campion, Mn. Kelly's solicitor, under took to interfere with his client upon the subject of their purchase. The neg.:ciations for the payment of the money having he presumed, failed in the i at instance, Mr. Malone hearing it reported that the letters were forgeries, called on Mr. Omer, the proctor, with a view to clear his charac ter in the transaction. fie (Mr. Malone) placed the original letters in the hands of that gentleman, who at once proceeded to make copies of them. He had copied five, and read the sixth, which he was proceeding to copy, when Mr. Malone, apparently changing his mind, said that be could wait no longer, and insisted on getting the whole of the letters back into his possession. What the rest of the letters contained he knew not, because they bad been destroyed in August, 1848, in Mr. Malone's house. It was ultimately arranged that 6001. was to be given for the destruction of the letters, and the money was paid in the following manner:—Mrs. Kelly got a Mr. Despard Taylor, who took part in the negotiation., to execute a bond for 6001., for which she gave him cash, and he gave his bill to Malone at a short date, and paid it himself when it be came due. As long as the letters were existing docu ments the defendant never contested their genuineness; but when the case came before the Lord Chancellor, upon the application for a commission of review, and Set , jinni Christian, in the course of the argument, on the. part of Mrs. Deese, repeatedly adverted to the fact that up to that time Mrs. Kelly had letters is question were in her handwriting, she (defen dant) at length perceiving the importance of sqch a de nial, proceeded to make the affidavit upon which the pre ! mat charge of perjury was grounded : the argument com mencing on the 13th May, and the affidavit having been sworn on the 18th of the same =oath. The learned coun sel, in conclusion, stated that he would first prove the ex istence of the affidavit, and if it became necessary there was an attested copy of it in court, and a gentleman who had examined the original document. Dr. Kelly having consulted his brother magistrate, said it was the opinion of the bench that the original affidavit itself must be produced in court. Mr. Fitzgerald submitted that the attested copy was sufficient for the purposes of a preliminary investigation. Dr. Kelly—The practice has always been otherwise, and we cannel depart from it in the present instance. Mr. Fitzgerald—We only ask the bench to take the case prim/aflame, and to adjourn it pro forma, until we can ob tain the original document. Mr. Armstrong—The reporters of the press are in court, and the complainant has therefore the satisfaction of know ing that the ex parte statements of her counsel will go to the public ; but in the name of my cli en t, Mrs. would ask the public to suspend their judgment until the case comes on again in a regular manner, when I pledge myself that a full and complete answer will be given to every one of the allegations put forward against her. The parties then left the office. NAVAL. ADMIRALTY, SEPT. 13.—APPOINTMENTS.—Liertt. C. H. Hoskins to Philomel; Lieut. J. H. Marna to Pre sident; Secretary's Clerks C. J. Martin to President; W.

It is not a wise philanthropy which expends itself on unprofitable efforts. While . the improvement of the dwellings of the working daises is quite worthy of all the zeal and benevolence which happily are now being brought to bear upon the subject, still there must at the same time be some substantial encourage ment for the in vestment of capital. The question, " Well it pay ?" will always occur to the practical mind. We must keep a steady eye to the return., and adapt the supply, as far as possible, Ito the demand likely to arise. It might be supposed, then, that the small bedrooms, with the incidental conveniences to be had at the Soho Chambers, were on the whole all that could be reasonably expected for the rent charged, 3s. ftd. a week. But if such a supposition were correct it must be inferred that either this rent is too high for those who would otherwise go there, or else working men are not disposed to be satisfied with such meagre and dingy dwea ings; and I think they ought not to be satisfied. It can lot be said that nothing better can be bad on such low terms, for the house built for single men in Ueorge•street, Bloomsbury, is at least quite as good, if not superior; and yet the rent for the saute accommodation and privileges is only 2e. 4d. a week.
