Ws doubt whether the seelotui Temperance have ever been in possession of a case which set forth the countless and deadly evils of drunkenness more eloquently than that vhio4 the columns of the Scotch journals have "resulted in a report of the trial of Witattm Straw Gsairr before the Perth Circuit Court, for the murder of his wife. GILLN'T was a merchant's clerk at Dundee, at a salary of 1001. a year. He was thirty-five years of age, and with his wife and four young children had for several years occupied a set of rooms in a house in Small's Wynd, divided, according to the Scottish system, into " lands," and accommodating several , families. The Gsairrs appear to have lived on very friendly terms with their neighbours, who were the principal witnesses on the trial. MARION Guts; the wife of the prisoner, was last seen alive on Saturday, the 20th of June lest. At two o'clock in the afternoon the eldest daughter, a girl air years of age, in a state of nervous dis tress, brought her little brother into Mrs. SCOTT'S room. This was not an uncommon occurrence. The poor forlorn children often fled in this way from the spectacle of their mother's degradation. Mrs. Soon knew at once what their presence signified, and going into the next apartment found Mrs. Gasrr much intoxicated. Between five and six o'clock the effects of the drink had so fargone off that Mrs. GILLNT, although muddled, was trying to do her household work, having been brought up in tidy and industrious habits. In this state Mrs. Scant saw her for the last time, conversed with her, and rendered her some assistance in her house hold matters. After this Mrs. GRANT sent the little girl out for more drink. About eight o'clock Gamer returned from businesa, and meeting his little boy, three years old, took him into his arms, and entered the house, laughing and playing with the child. The evidence as to his condition at this time is contradictory. Two of the witnesses said that he was drunk, but their reasons for thinking so did not satisfy the court. He was not a man ad dicted to excess. In his " declaration," however, he admitted that be " had been drinking," but " knew what he was about." Soon after GRANT bad gone within doors, the eldest children having gone out to play, the neighbours heard a noise in his rooms. They were accustomed to hear Mrs. Gen NT tumbling on the floor and overturning the chairs, but this noise was " out of the common." Mrs. HOVKLL, whose room was immediately under that of the GRAND; called Mn. Scorn to hear the noise with her,and they heard something like sharp strokes as if made with a cane on a table, and then a bumping noise on the floor. Then all was stilL About ten o'clock the father's voice was heard callipg his eldest daughter. Mrs. Sever took her to him, when he spoke kindly to the child, ;and told her to bid Mrs. Scorr good night. His manner at this time was perfectly calm and collected. The children were in the habit of sleeping in a bad concealed in a recess of the parlour, the parents occupying the bedroom. It appears from the evi dence of the eldest boy, eight years of age, that when he came in from play, about ten, his sister MARION and his little brother were already in this bed, and their mother was lying on her back on the parlour floor. The father, who was walking about the kitchen when his son returned, soon took off his clothes and lay down on the children's bed. This, the eldest child said, be always diii when the mother was drunk. About four o'clock on the Sunday morning one of the THE EintEss, WEDNE9tAI -EVENING, SEPTEMBER 23, 1863. neighbours, Mrs. Story, was awakened by t a ringing at her bell. It was thus; who, when the door was opened, said, " She's dead, " Mrs. Setrrr." On going upstairs, Mrs. SCOTT saw in the light of the dawn the body of Mrs. GRANT in her day dress lying on her back in the parlour, cold and motionless. Her legs were ex posed, and the lower part of her dress was doubled under her. The round table was broken. GIUNT left the neighbours R ith the body, and first went and fetched a physician. His next errand was to the police-office, where he requested that a pollee man might be sent to the house immediately. The police lieutenant on duty remarked that he came to the office in a clean shirt and neck-tie. On I visiting the house with him he foundspota of blood on the broken round table, in the kitchen, and in the passage from the kitchen to the parlour. No implement stained with blood was found in the house. There was blood, however, on one of the cuffs of Gaszir's coat, and marks of blood on his trousers. A shirt was found under the bed in the parlour on which were stains of blood. The post-mortem examination showed extensive and severe bruises of a densely livid colour over the temples and eyebrows, and similar marks on the thighs and legs. On the left side six ribs were found fractured, four of them twice. On the right side five ribs were fractured, three of them twice, and one of them a third time. The sternum was twice broken. The right lobe of the liver was ruptured quite through, from before backward. The case of the Crown, which did not appear to the Court to have been stated with desirable distinctness, was that GRANT, maddened by passion, had struck his wife with the piece of wood broken from the table, thrown her down, kicked her, and jumped on her. The prisoner's own statement was that on coming home he found her very much intoxi cated and quite helpless ; that he asked her to go to bed, and on her non-compliance tried to take her to the bedroom ; that while carrying her, in paving through the room she came in contact with the foot of the table standing against the wall,. which caused her to fall ; that he fell with her upon the small round table, which broke under their weight, and that in the second fall he fell upon her. He further declared that be did not think she was injured, but that finding himself unable to get her to bed he drew her into the doorway between the two rooms, left her there to sleep off the effects of the drink, u he had done on other occasions, and went to bed with the children. That about four o'clock on Sunday morning he was awakened by the youngest child crying, when he called to his wife, thinking that by that time she must be sober, to come to bed, but receiving no reply he went to ascertain the reason, and finding her cold became alarmed and sent for assistance. The surgeons examined were of opinion that the injuries which proved fatal might have been caused in the manner alleged by the prisoner. The jury deliberated • quarter of an hour, when a majority of them found the prisoner Not Guilty. It is understood that the minority were in favour of a verdict of " not proven." The cir cumstances relied on by the Crown were, in the opinion of Lord Nraysa, too weak to sustain the case for the prosecution. This was, moreover, one of those cases in which the evidence sa to the cha racter of tho prisoner and his customary manner of treating his wife was of the utmost importance, and nothing could be more favourable than the testi mony given by all who knew him. His nearest neighbours declared that his conduct to his wife was invariably kind and forbearing, and expressed their belief that notwithstanding her faults, which were such as not only to destroy his domestic comfort, but repeatedly placed the lives of the children in imminent peril, be was warmly attached to her. The merchant with whom he was apprenticed, the senior magistrate of Newton-on- Ayr, who had known him ten years, and his pre sent employer, Mr. ALIXANDift &maw, of Dundee, spoke in the hietest terms of his inte grity and kind disposition, and the continuance of their confidence in him. ,The Rev. Dr. brGavar, of Dundee, who knew both husband sad wife, said, " I have had frequent interviews with the prisoner, " and I have seen many marked manifestations of " his attachment to his wife, notwithstanding her " habits. lat one time suggested to h;m that "he should put his wife into the Home, but he " wept and said he could not proceed to such ex ' tremities. He is of a very mild disposition, and ' I could not believe that he would be guilty of each a crime against any person, far less against his wife." The warmest congratulations awaited GRANT on his acquittal, the entire audience having, it seems, become his friends during the progress of the triaL The value of a good character has rarely been more strikingly manifested.

General Rosecrans reports that the movement of his troops is progressing on the enemy's flank and rear, while the tail of the enemy's retreating column will not escape unmolested. The New York Tribune says that the weakness displayed by the Confederates at so many points strengthens the impression that General Lee intends making an offensive movement. A meeting has been held at Paola, Kansas, at which 3,000 armed men were present. The recall of the Kansas troops was urged if the government continued its offensive military system in Kansas. The proprietors of the Baltimore Republican have been sent South for publishing disloyal poetry. The draft is to be enforced in Obio. The trade of New Orleans with Cairo ' St. Louis, and the cities and towns of the Upper Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio, has been declared free from military control. The Adriatic has arrived out. (From the Tines.) NEW YORK, Sm. 12, 11 A.M. _ _ _ The Tribune states that the evacuation of Morris Island was solely the consequence of General Gilmore's engineering operations, Admiral Dahl gren's Monitors and ironclads being for the most part spectators of the contest, and the problem of water approach to the city is still unsolved. Matters have now reached that stage when the efficient co-operation of the Navy De partment seems to be indispensable to future pro gram It is necessary also that it should be prompt. Every day's delay but strengthens the de fences of Charleston and increases the obstruction to its approach by land and by water both. The army has done more than its share, and it now re mains for the naval force to do its portion of the work to render the reduction of the city certain. The Richmond Examiner of the Bth says :—" The Yankee troubles have not yet commenced, nor will commence until they get into the harbour." The universal belief at Charleston is that Wagner and Sumter will be taken, but that Charleston will not be, and that if the ironclad. once enter the harbour thoy will never get out again. The Confederates have mounted at Charleston, but in what exact position is not known, two KIO - Blakely guns, recently arrived from Eng land, with which they expect to do fearful execu tion to the Monitors whenever they come within rang.. General Burnside and General Roeecrans officially report to General Hailed& their occupation of Chat_ tanooga and Cumberland Gap. . . . It is stated that General Burnside with his des patch tendered to the government his resignation of the command of the department of the Ohio, which it appears he has long meditated. General Rosecrana, in his official report, pub lished on the 9th, of his operations in Tennessee, commencing with his occupation of Murfrees borough, states that his captures were 59 commis sioned officers, 1,575 non-commissioned officers end privates, three rifled siege guns, many small arms, 89 tents, 89 flags, and 3,500 sacks of corn and meal, and that his total losses were 85 men killed, 462 wounded, and 13 missing. General Schenck yesterday arrested and sent into the Confederate lines the editors and proprietors of the Baltimore Republican, for publishing in their issue of the evening previous a piece of poetry, entitled " The Southern Cross." The two branches of the democracy in this city known as the Tammany and Mozart parties have coalesced. Governor Seymour, in a speech made at the convention of the United Democracy, said of the conscription that New York had given volun- tarily upwards of 136,000 men for the war ; but he ventured to 'predict that the government would not get 6,000 men under the infliction of the draft In conclusion, he declared under no considerations would he consent to the dissolution of the Union, and he was convinced that it would b e ultimately restored with the rights of the States unimpaired.

M. Wolff, of Stettin, the representative of the free trade party of the Baltic, strongly opposed these ►mendments. M. Wirth said that the people of central Germany would take up arms rather than see the Zollverein dissolved, and that it was unwise to come to any decided resolution when there were yet two years before them, during which time a comproinise might be effected. K Jules Faucher, a member of the Prussian Chamber, said that free trade between Austrian and the Zollverein was the talisman before which all difficulties would disappear. The first amendment of M. Sonneman was lost, but the second was almost unanimously adopted. The questions of "taxation' and " octroi duties" were fixed on for discussion at the next Congress. The proceedings were terminated by a banquet. In the evening K Schultze ex plained, at a meeting of 1,000 members and friends of the National Union, the tendency of the reform projects of the German Princes, and concluded with recommending, amidst loud applause, the Constitution of 1849. THE CONGRESS OF POLITICAL ECONO MISTS AT DRESDEN. It has been already stated that the Congress un equivocally decided in favour of the abolition of patent laws, on the motion of Mr. Prince Smith. M. Schultze-Delitzsch read an important paper on the wonderful development of working men's associations in 1862. There were now One thousand of these associations, and their circulation last year amounted to 4,808,0001. The question of banks was next discussed, and gave rise to a very interesting debate. The following raw lntioss were adopted. In the first place it was laid down as a principle that banks should be perfectly free under the condition of the entire responsibility of the shareholders for all debts- Secondly, that, as existing banks were authorised by the State, the State had a right to impose on them conditions for the security of the public. Until the principle of perfect banking freedom was established, the Congress recommended the establishment of discount banks, in order that the public might be trained to learn that the other business of banks was more important than that of the issue of notes. On the subject of the "right of domicile" the Con geese decided that this right should be absolute. A person should have the right of living where he pleased, of working at what business he liked, of marrying without being fettered by local institu tions, w'aich, however, ought to protect com munes from tboee who had become paupers. The question of the Zollverein was also discussed. K Michaelis, member of the Prussian Chamber and a distinguished economist, supported the re commendation of the committee, which proposed the reconstitution of the Zollverein at the end of the contract two years hence, with the ratification of a treaty of commerce. K Sonneman submitted two EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (PROM 001 OWI PARIS, TUESDAY EVIIIIIO. The great event of the day—and the one which has produced almost a panic at the Bourse—is the insertion in the Moniteur of the long report of the "National Government" of Warsaw, oountersigned by Prince Czartoryski, which appeared in all the principal journals of Europe several days ago. The reproduction is not, however, made openly and honestly. With petty and characteristic caution the Moniteur omits to tell its readers what the document is which it lays before them. It shrinks from printing the words, " Polish National Govern ment," in its columns, and merely says, in its in troductory heading, that a letter, dated " Warsaw, August 15, 1863," has appeared in several French and foreign journals, and it gives the signature at the end, "Pour copie conform& Czartoryski." An opinion has been very prevalent to-day that the above insertion in the Moniteur is but a pre lude to the recognition of the Poles as belligerent& The Nation, however, characterises this supposition as "quite gratuitous and wholly improbable." And it gives as a reason that, in the cape assumed, France must separate herself if not from England at least from Austria ; and the language of the semi-official journals clearly shows that the cabinet of the Tuileries is not prepared to take a line of its own, and make the Polish ques tion a French question. I believe that the Nation judges the case rightly; bat I never theless think it expedient to sent you the sub stance of the expressed opinions of the other even ing journals. The France says : The publication of this document by the Moniker as sumes the proportions of an event. . . . The Polish memorandum is an indictment dict►ted at once by patriot• ism and hatred against the Rumania government, and it may be °moldered as the extreme contradiction of Prince Gott &akar* answer. . . . The publication of the Polish manifesto by the official journal cannot fail to make a great sensation in Europe. Iu the opinion of the Patric, There is no exaggeration iu saying that the publication of this document in the Monitear gives it the impoctaooe of a political event. Is it not, in fact, as adhesion to the po• Weal and historical considerations presented by the secret members of the government of Warsaw? la it not a sort of adoption of the reasoning which led the authors of the memorandum to represent the recognition of belligerent rights in favour of the Poles es an act at ow* just, logical, sod generous? Oar readers will certainly appreciate, as we do, this roprodastiou, which may be oonsidersd se a pre liminary answer to the Muscovite despatches. The Opinion Nationale" leaves to events the task of commenting upon this publication," but thinks it "very important." The Temps "hails the publication in the Monitetsr as an indication," but refuses to see in it a " solu. tion." It is only an expellent answer to the Rus sian despatches upon condition that it shall be followed by its " logical consequences." The Pays, in reproducing the manifesto from the Moniteur, has the cool impudence to say that the "crowded state of its columns" prevented it from giving the document sooner. That is the only remark it has to make about it. The Constitu tiormel will now find room to-morrow fur the paper which it has hitherto neglected. The Pray takes serious notice of the rumour that tho Poles are to be recognised as belligerents, but argues that they would be none the better so long as Austria and Prussia, in respect of their Polish possessions, are opposed to them, and stand in the way of their receiving arms aad munitions. My own opinion inclines to be the direct reverse of that of the Temps. I think the publication is a anotment, and not an " indication " of any sub- sequent policy. The French government is in a great difficulty on account of the check to its diplo macy, and the handle which that check gives to every shade of opposition. The publication of Prince Czartoryski's correspondence in the Moniker was an easy way of giving some small satisfaction to public opinion, but I do not think it indicates any determined course of action. I observe that the Pays to-night clings more convulsively than ever to the doctrine that " nothing is in contem plation, nothing is doing, and nothing will be done," except by the three powers in concert. That is saying in other words that nothing will be I done. The Pays contradicts the news that the Empe ror's return from Biarritz is to be hastened, or that K Drouyn de Lhuys will go to see him there— " at all events," it says, " there is no question of anything of the kind at present." It also denies that the Mexican deputation is going to Biarritz before waiting on the Archduke Maximilian, but admits, however, that K Gutteres Aranza, the president of the deputation, has gone to Biarritz. The Opinion Nationale, noticing Mr. Mason's withdrawal from London to Paris, says :—" This step indicates a drawing nearer together of Eng land and the United States. We hope it does not presage any new attempt in favour of the recogni tion of the Confederate states by France." At the Bourse the publication of Prince Czarto ryski's correspondence in the Moniteur put the Rate down 50c., and Mobilier fell 38fr. The Daily News is seized. Mr. Blanchard Jerrold, in the following letter to GaUgnani, disputes the authorship of L'Ariglais rintide, which the bills of the Theatre des Varietes, hitherto uncontradioted, have for weeks past attributed to Mr. Charles Mathews : I am told that you, is common with other journalists, attributed the English original of the •ngtaia nntile. in which Mr. Charles Mathews is charming Paris audiences nightly, to his pen.

Mr. Ledger said that Saturday was a half holiday in the City, on Monday the county revision of the city lists would take place, and on Tuesday was the election of Lord Mayor. The Barrister said he would endeavour to complete the livery by Thursday, commence the parishes on Pridey, and adjourn over Tuesday next week. fhe service of the notices of claims and objections was then proved by Mr. J. Nicholson, on behalf of the c ,neerva- Jives, and Mr. Lancaster for the liberals. The Barreiro then proceeded with the livery lists ; but no CYO of interest came on during the mere* sitting. 1.315,000 AUSTRIA. " The Austrian Reichsrath," says the Nord, " will shortly commence the discussion of the budget for 1884. As drawn up by the government, the budget anticipates a deficit of 50 millions of florins. That amount will, however, be exceeded, as 90 millions will be required to relieve the dis tress in Hungary, and the taxes of that country will produce 20 millions leas than was expected. The total deficit will consequently be 100 millions at least, which, according to the Press of Vienna, can only be covered by a new loan, as it is now too late to impose, for the beginning of 1864, the new taxes by which it was hoped to cover this deficiency." BELGIUM. At Tournai, in Belgium, a statue has just been erected in honour of Christine de Liking, Princess of Epinoy, who in 1581 defended the city for 25 days against the Spaniards under Alexandre Far nese, and only surrend..red when the means of defence were utterly destroyed. The statue is the work of M. Dutrieux„ a native of Tournai. A grand banquet was given on Monday in honour of M. Rogier, who has recently been returned as the liberal member for Touruai. The celebration of the 33rd anniversary of national independence commenced to-day, and would be continued till the 27th at Brussels. THE EVANGELICAL CHURCH UNION. The General Assembly of the Gustav-Adolph- Verein has just taken place at Lubeck. Repre sentatives from all parts of protestant Europe were present. Reports on the position of the evangelical communities were read, amongst the most interest ing of w hick were thoseof Frei of Strasburg,Hanae of Lemberg, Revel of Florence, Legrand of Bale, Muller of Paris, Schell of Cronstadt in TransyL vania, and Dr. Brockhaus on the reformation move ment in Italy. The union has 1,200 affiliated so cieties iu the different parts of Europe, besides 140 female societies. The revenue of the union for 1862 was 180,000 dollars. Vienna and Darmstadt invited theUnicn to hold their next meeting in one of those cities. Darmstadt was selected as being the moat neutral wound. HOLLAND. OPENING OF THE STATES-GENERAL. On Monday, the States-General were opened with a speech from the King, in which he said that the foreign relations of Holland continued to be friendly, while the good understanding with Bel gium had been strengthened by the treaties recently made between the two States. Projects of law for a new organisation of the national guard, for a new criminal and civil code, for the extension of railways, for a reform of the system of taxation, and for the improvement of the Dutch colonies would be presented during the cottrse of the session. THE SCANDINAVIAN KINGDOMS. Advices from Stockholm mention that • com mission of officers of the navy and of engi neers of the three Scandinavian kingdoms has been for some time assembled in that mpitsl to deliberate on the measures to be adopted for combining in a common action the land and sea forces of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, in use that former power should be attacked. One of the proposals taken into consideration by the commission is that for the future the vessels of the three powers shall be constructed and armed in the same manner, in order that they may form • compact fleet in the Baltic, and as much as possible of the same rate of speed, so that they may execute the same manceuvres with perfect regularity. The command will, it is said, be conferred on Prince Oscar, brother to the King of Sweden, who is already ad miral of the Swedish fleet. A curious fact has just been established in some of the communes in Franca. It has been found that the use of threshing and winnowing machines has produced an immense amount of bronchitis and disease of the throat and chest among the labourers employed, who are exposed to an atmosphere charged with dust, which effects them so powerfully, that in some parishes there are whole families of confirmed invalids. To such an extent hes this evil gone that the mayors have issued an order that labourers em ployed near this machinery must work in veils. The Post learns that a marriage has been ar ranged between the youngest brother of the Emperor of Austria and the eldest daughter and heiress of the Em peror of the Brazils. The Archduke Louis Joseph Antoine Victor is now just twenty-one years of age, and the Donna Issbelle Christine is seventeen. "In this union the hope et the Brazilian sus:amnion will rest, and an Austro-Breailian privoe will some day in all probability ascend the imp,- I rial throne of Ftio Janeiro. That oontiogency, no doubt, is distant enough, for the Emperor Pedro 11. is not yet forty. The Austrian Archduke, however, when his princess ascends the throne, will probably take the title of Emperor, as the consorts of Maria-di-Gloria in Por tugs!, and of Isabella in Spain, took that of King. The fispiburg succession in Brazil will probably become as established a fact as the Hapsburg sucoession in Mexico. Three imperial crowns in possession or in remainder fall to a single branch of one family that seemed, only thirteen years ego, to be struggling for existence even in their here ditary dominions in Europe." The French Minister of Marine has just sent M. Durand Brager. the marine painter, to Cherbourg, to be present during the experiments with the sew iron-clad vessels, in order to give a representation of the scene if deemed edvleable. _ "Notwithstanding," says the Pays, "th, great number of anathemas now plying in Paris, they are found altogether issuflieleut for the accommodation of the public, and the company has therefore determined to plc°, on the principal lines much larger carriages, which will take 52 passengers iiisteed of 26, as at present." The Rues Marivaux, F►vart, and the Place Boieldieu, which surround the Opera Omniclue, Paris, bare just had the pavement replaced by asphalt., in order to de Wen the noise of carriages. The same plan is being car. lied into executiou in front of the church of St. Paul, is the itue St. Antoine, and is to be also adopted sear several other public buildings. IMPORTANT LIFEBOAT SERVICES. In the Express of last evening it was reported that the Southport lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Insti tution had been instrinneutal on Sunday last in rescuing from the ship St. Lawrence, of Liverpool, which was stranded on the Boathouse Sandbank, off the mouth of the liver Ribble, in a gale and heavy sea, the captain's wife sod child and 12 of the crew—the captain and three other men refusing to leave the vessel ; and that the Lytham lifeboat, which also belongs to the National In stitution, had gone off with the view of saving the four men. It appears that the Lytham lifeboat, after a hard pull, succeeded in reaching the stranded vessel ; but the captain and those with him still remaining firm in their determination not to quit the ship, the lifeboat returned to the shore. On the following morning, however, a signal of distress was seen flying trom the ship, and the Lytham lifeboat was spin sent out, when it was found that the vessel was a derelict, the remaining four men having left her in their own boat. It was still blowing • gale of wind, and es the vessel had eight feet of water in bee bold she woe, of course, nearly uunianagrable, but the mew of the lifeboat determined to make en effort to save the ship, and they have since been fortunately successful is bringing her safely into port. The barque would unques tionably have been totally lost had she remained on the bank another night. The lifeboat behaved very well on both occasions of her going afloat YOUNG IRELANDISM IN THE DUBLIN CORPORATION. The approaching visit of the Channel fleet hits raised a norm in the Dublin corporation. At the adjourned meeting on Monday Alderman Hudson moved the adoption d en address to be presented to the admiral and officers, which had been drawo up by the committee. He regretted that the corporation had no funds available for public ban quets, but they had private funds, which he was oatisfied would be expended freely ingivieg a suitable reception to the fleet The motion having been seconded by Alderman Mackey, Mr. A. M. Sullivan, proprietor arid editor of the Nation, moved an amendment, in • speech of considerable length. In the report, he said, the committee hod shirked the ques tion of subscription an a manner that would disgust the admiral, and if he had anything of the spirit that ems at. tributed to him he would not accept the invitation. The address was rather a windy compliment to en admiral, who ee enough. Nothing could be more nauseous or flatulent. There was no man in the committee of the whole house who stood up there to say, "There is 100/. towards the entertainment of the officers of the Channel fleet." He denounced the report as one of the meanest Motormen el evasion he had ever met. He denied that the visit el the fleet was calculated to awaken recollections of the glories of the peat What glories! When did any British fleet come to Dublin Bay except for invasion? When the address spoke of the British fleet aiding every tyrant-trampled country and the oppressed of every clime, he could understand it if it referred to Britain, the people of which weary were justly proud of the traditions and memories associated with the Beet. But Irishmen, as such, could hold no such language to the British fleet. When in memorable hours of agony Ireland lay panting and prostrate io the gripe of famine, and this British government was asked for transports to bring food to these shores to our starving coun trymen, that government, boasting the finest fleet in the world, would not deign to led this famine-stricken nation two ships out of its great navy to do this work of mercy. No ; let it be told that this British Beet lay with its guns 'hotted for duty, it may be, but had not a deck on which to lay food for the dying. But there was a government who beard the wail of linked and came to help. That was the government of free America, who stripped its war ships of their armament and seat to these shores the produce of American soil. He could understand the Irish people welcoming to their shores such a fleet, but the people of Dublin had **right to use this language to the Channel Beet. Mr. Sullivan then allueed to the Italian war, and said that the British fleet had been sent out on a malignant mission of disturbance, " to encourage disorder among un grateful rebels, and set the south of Europe in a flame, in order that British interests and British bigotry might be preserved." This burst of loyalty to the Pope was received with loud applause in the gallery. Alderman Boned' called the speaker to order for using seditious language. Mr. Martin replied, and said the address was drawn up for loyal men ; they did not want to meet the views of dis loyal mess. Mr. Sullivan's speech, he said, proved that this was the freest country in the world, for in no other country would • man be permitted to utter such sentiments. On a division the address was carried by au overwhelming majority, only four members having voted against it. This terminated the proceedings.

THE LATE ADMIRAL WASHINOTON.—The funeral of the late Rear-Admiral Washington, F.R.S., the hydro ' grapher of the Admiralty, who died at Havre on the 16th inst., took place at the protestant cemetery of St. Marie ea Saturday, with every demoostrition of respect on the pert of the French authorities at Havre. The gallant officer I was so well known and respected that immediately after i his death all the bride of departments, civil, naval, sod military wrote to the widow requesting that they might be allowed to attend the funeral. The captain and six seamen of an English ship liiog at Havre requested permission to carry the deceased admiral's remains to the grave. Both requests were, of course, acceded to, and the crew of the imperial yacht Jerome Napoleon sent 40 of their minas and aliens to form part of the fuueral curlew, which com prised 40 merinos. All the French dignitaries who at leaded, and Captain Fiore, the navel aide-de-camp to the English Embassy at Pans, were in full official drew, and the street. were throogel with spectators. The only English naval officer present besides Captain Hare wee Lieutenant E. W. Brooker, R.N., H., who went over from South. =pea?, and accompanied the relatives of the gallant officer. On arriving at the cemetery the French authorities rear fully retired to a distance from the grave, while the funeral obsequies were performed in the immediate presence of the relatives and Eogluih friends. The respeet show. by the French to Admiral Washington's memory was a source of great gratification to the widow. CENT!
