Sligo ha, its Ilartlimans also; and it the account of the Chroniew be true. as we are assured by a mo,t trustworthy eorre ip.m,kor, ir is, what is to be thought of the social cowliiion of a people where such outrages are per pirated ?

Having thus syllogisti cally eonvinced the judgment of his male auditors, the doc tor next addressed himself to the feelings it the women— which he duly harrowed by announcing that the British parliament had annul:ld all their marriages. The whole affair was of course coded by a practical application—the iniquity of supporting a man who at anv time aided a go vernment guilty of such enormities." '%Vhilst the tendert rim ..f such denunciations, as incitements to popular ',en grain e, may he easily i.litnated, it indicates a growing in dependence in the minds of even the Roman catholic multitudes in Ireland to be assured, that they fail microdot° the expected impression. The locality in which those sacerdotal pranks are thus fiercely end unscrupulously plaved off is within the benighted limits which Dr. 111'11141e and his suffragans have doomed to ignorance. But in the struggle to be educated, which has always formed a distinctive trait in the character of the Irish peasantry-, enough has been acquired to enable them to appris late these clerical imprecations at their true value, and to judge all then representatives by those tests alone which should d, termine their opinion and secure their approbation. In the present ingance we are assured that the " Dove of Elphln," in whose diocese this Columbian rack has been set up for Mr. Somers*. excruciation, is not likely to lead the pooh. by the beards. Secured by an independent conduct which could offend the foulest bigotry alone, Mr. Somers will not be replaced even by tha orthodox and wealthy as pirant toh'inntle honours whom Ilielcop Browns would im port from Townley-hall, Laseashire.

ADAM , . ?".STANT Chas. lalkaer, a marine store dealer, carrying on busi ness on Eyre-street-hill, and IFea. T,,omes Jareiton, n:lo a amine store dealer, in Turnmill-street, at the rear of the Sessions House, were indicted for stealing, and also for feloniously receiving 40 lbs. of tinfoil, value 2/., the pro perty of Messrs. Simpson and Euisley, of Union-buildings, Gray's-inn lane. Mr. Huddlestone and Mr. O'Brien appeared for the pro secution. Mr. Parry and Mr. Metcalfe appeared for Falkner ; and Mr. liallantine defended Jackson. It appeared that on the 11th of June last Archer and Fisher, detectise officers of the G division, were on duty in Oray's-inn lane, when their attention was attracted to a cart, belonging to a collector of old metal, named Usher, in which was a large quantity of old lead and brass, and searching it they wand about 40 lbs. of tinfoil in an un finished state, and having some suspicion as to the means by which he had come into possession of it, they took him into custody,: and it was ascertained that the tinfoil be longed to the prosecutors, from whose premises, in the opi nion of Mr. Simpson, who, however, could not speak pre cisely to the date it was stolen between the ith, and the 9th of June. l e 'sher was taken before's, magistrate, when he stated that he bought the tin foil of Folksier in the regular way of business at his shop on Eyre -street Hill, and that he gave 741. per pound for it. He called Palkner to prove this, but the latter denied that he had sold him the pro perty, and upon Usher's assuring him that ho could pro duce witnesses to substantiate his assertion, the magistrate retnauded the case, and liberated him ou bail. k aiknrr did not appc at on Vie day appointed for the re-examimition, and nothing further was heard of him, although the police and Usher were searching tor him, until the 22nd of J sue, when ho was traced to ley-cottage, Church-lane, Camber weil, where it was said be had been residing for the b.uetit of his health, the police hosing got a clue to his where abouts by watching the proceedings of his wife, whom one Saturday night they followed in a horse and chaise to the cottage at Camberwell. On gaining admission to the cottage, the officers, Archer and Fisher, found Lauer, his wife and family, and a Jew sitting down to supper, and on being told that lie was to consider himself their prisoner, and that theyebealer.converhim to the Lock's Fields station, he requested permission to go in his own horse and chaise, and they s..id they would allow him to do so. As Archer was about to take him out by the front dour, he contrived to slip away, and as was endeavouriug to intercept him by the back door he was assaulted by the Jew and Mrs. Palk nu., and Fa.lkuer then succeeded in escaping effectually. For the assault the Jew and Mrs. Falkncr were committed to Kingston Gaol, the former fur a month, and the latter ' fur ll days, and lallener was out of the way for some time afterwards, and about the lrnh of September he gave no- See, through Mr. \Vontner, his solicitor, that he intended to surrender and nn,wer the charge. lie was, however, apprehended in Millions by a sergeant of the U and then when the matter was gone into, be stated that he ' bought the tinfoil of Jackson and that he gave him 6)d. per pound for it, and he called upon Jackson to prove that such was the fact, but Jackson refused to be sworn. A person named Bright deposed to the fact of having seen Jackson sell the tintoil to Fulkner, but he could not tell anything as to the price given by him for it; and the sug gestiun on the part of the prosecution was, that the gale or barter took place between them upon terms previously arranged and determined. The evidence of Bright was that the sale took place in an open and undisguised manner in Fulkner's shop; and the principal evidence against Jackson was his having declared that he knew the per son of whom he received the tinfoil—that it could not be identified, inasmuch as it was in an unfinished state, and his retinal to give the name of the person from whose bawls it passed into his. The property was unquistionably identified as belonging to the prusecutors, and the value of it to them in its unfinished state was Is. Id. per pound. tu addition to these facts, it is requisite, in order to present the case fully to the reader, to give the followiug evidence: Esher deposed that on the day on which he bought the tinfoil of Falkner he was sent for by him to fetch some metal, and he went to his shop in Eyre ,street-hill accord- Maly about dusk that evening, when, amongst other metal, he bought the tinfoil produced at %el. a pound. lie bought in the usual way—over the counter—in the presence of two persons. His cart was stopped by the offi cers near l'ortpoull-lanc. In cross-examination the wittiest said he had had deal ings with Faffiner about ten months. lie bought some pewter teapots of him At the time be bought the toil, end lie considered he was giving a fair price fur the article, as it(t he foil) was not, in his opinion, superior iu quality to the hest pewter. Hu had been in business as a dealer in old metal, ten or twelve years, and that it was the custom in the trade for one dealer to sell to another, even at a profit of as little as our shilling a hundred weight, and the pur chase he made of Falkner, ou the oceasiou particularly in question, amounted to 64 18x, ltd. lie was with the offi cers when they followed with &horse and cart, Mrs. Falkner, from Eyre-street-hill, to Ivy cottage. She was in a chaise, and it was at midnight. that was on the 3rd of July. When he was before the magistrate in September, Falk ' ner at once admitted that he sold the foil to witness, and called upon Jackson to state that be sold it to him. Jack son refused to be sworn. Witness exerted himself to get Falkner taken, fur the purpose of clearing his own character. William Eyares, proprietor of the lted Lion Mews, Clerkenwell, said he knew the prisoner Falkner, and was present when the foil was solsl by Jackson to hint. When Falkuer heard that defier was taken iutu custody for hay lag it in his possession, witness went with him to Jack son's, but they did not then see him, but did shortly after wards, w lien Fullmer told hint that he heard that a party to whom he (Falkner) had sold the metal wan in custody fur having it, and he then asked Jackson whom he got it from —telling him at the same time that it he was called upon to account fur it, he should give up hi t (Jackson's) name, and he must then in turn tell who he got it from. Jackson then said, If you do, I shall deny it, and you will only get yourself iu trouble. It is iu an unfinished state, and they could not tell where it came from, or identify it." Ile Melee/ that he knew very well who he had it from; he had it from the Peron who nail it to hoists, and, as it was not finished, it could not be sworn to. Ile refused to tell who this person was. . . . 'Phis witness was cross.examined at some length by Mr. liallantine as to his connexion and dealings withlhner. It appeared that lalkner rented some stables of him, mid had been indebted to him for rent to the extent of 301., but the debt had been reduced by his reeds ing the proceeds of some rag de:dings iu which he acted fur kalkuer whilst lie was in the countr), as the witness said, fur the benefit of his health, between the time of his escape and his appre hension. Falkuer had been very ill, so much so that 4c could nut Klee his bed. lie had had Ivy Cottage about three months Won: this transaction. Ile frequently saw Fakeer at Eyre-street-hill and Camberwell up to the 3rd of July, but he did not know that the officers were in quest of him. Witness went with a horse and chaise and fetched Fa'knees wife from Kingston Gaol, when her term of im prisonment expired. When questioned as to whether he did not know that she had been imprisoned for aiding the escape of her husband from the officers, he hesitated, but eventually said he did know that it was about something of that sort. Police sergeant John Gunn, of the G division,.said—That after the matter was in the hands of Archer and fisher, he went to Jackson by arrangement with 31r. Simpson, with the view of finding out who was the actual thief, and in reply to an observation made by him to the of ect that it appeared that he, Jackson, had sold the foil to Falkner, he said he supposed he had heard that from Falkuer. Wit ness then said he did out care so much about the selling ; what he svauted Jai:kiwis to tell him was who was the thief on Mi. 5i11111,011 . 6 premises. Jackson then said he did sell the foil to falkner, but as to the other matter he would think about it. A few days afterwards witness met Jack son accidentally in Leather-lane, and asked him if he had thought of what was the subject of their former conversa tion, and he then said " If k'alkner comes it on me it will be all the worse for him, but as he has not done so, why should 1 on the other poor devil." Mr. Parry, in the course of his address to the jury, ad mitted that his client lalkner had been guilty of great folly in telling a wilful lie—in denying that he sold the metal to Usher, and in keePing out of the way; but urged that his conduct subsequently was an ample atonement for his foolishness. It was true that he was exceedingly ill when he escaped from the officers. Ills concealment afterwards might kayo arisen from fear and timidity ; but, when that was overcome, lie had come forward like an honest man to meet the charge, and not only challenged Jackson to state the fact of his having sold him the metal, but produced evidence to show that he had gone to Jackson upon the subject immediately he became aware that Usher was in custody. No doubt it was in consequence of Jackson's threat to deny the fact of the sale to him that Falkuer on the following day deeded that he sold the metal to Usher. Mr. Ballantine, on behalf of Jackson, made a lengthened and forcible speech, contending that the evidence did not show that the metal came into his possession from the thief, or that he ut any time before he passed it to Fullmer knew it to have been stolen. The learned judge having summed up the case, the jury, after about twenty minutes consideration, found Falkuer Not guilty, and Jackson Guilty of receiving. ••••• - - - - The learned judge said he agreed with the verdict, and hoped F.ilkner would for the future learn not to purchase unfinished goods without strict inquiry. As to Jackson ha had not the slightest doubt of his guilt, and he felt certain that the present was not the only transaction he had had with the person of whom he purchased the tinfoil. The court would always punish with severity convicted receivers of stolen goods—they were the promoters and encouragers of crime • and the sentence upon him was that he be trans ported beyond the seas for the term of ten years. This case lasted the whole day, and the court was crowded. STAFFORDSHIRE SHEEP STE►LING BY ♦ CErACHWARDLN. SESSIONS. Job rardhy, 40, a man of respectable appearance, carry ing on the business of a butcher at Brocksneor, and who was stated to be one of the churchwardens of the district, was indicted for stealing 14 ewe sheep, at Antbiecote, the property of William Foster. Nathaniel Williams, a shepherd, in the employ of the prosecutor, stated that on the 17th of Septemb er his master had 32 sheep in a field at Amblecot, called Haniptun.tield ; 15 were marked with a dot, and 17 with a red line across ' the shoulders, and the whole with the initials " W.F." in pitch. The next night he west with a policeman to the house of the prisoner at Brosialoor, yid* Is about a mile 'from liszaptow-Oold. So moo goys sow sheep in an asuanas, nsd voispdsoll 12 so bsiseglog to his muter. j Antewalio kw wool to dr idioneo asp, and two skins were shown him which had belonged to two of his master's sheep. John Hibbs, a labourer and under shepherd, in the employ of the prosecutor, spoke to the sheep being all safe in the field on the evening of the 17th of September, end at half-past five on the following morning discovering that 14 of them were missing. Tile gate was fastened up with nails, but the !mils had been wrenched nut. John Perks stated that he lived in Amblecote-late, near Hampton-field. About half-past seven on the evening of the I,th of September, he was near the gate leading into this field, when he heard a voice saying, " Stop those sheep." The gate was open, and ho saw some sheep come out of the field. They passed him, and the prisoner was driving them towards Amblicate Hall, which is in the direction of Broekruour. lle could not tell how many sheep there were. A boy was assisting to drive them. Richard Sennett, a sub-inspector of pollee, and Hugh M'Cree, superintendent of police, alto spoke to finding t on sheep, which were identified by Mr. Foster's shepherd on the prisoner's premises. The last witness called for the prosecution was Thomas James, whose evidence went to show that the prisoner had previously contemplated the commission of the offence. Ile stated that he lived in Amblecote-lane, about seventy yards from Hampton:-10d. About eight o'clock iu the evening of the 15th of September (two days before the s:teep were missing), he saw a number of sheep in the lane, and the prisoner following alter them. Ile asked the pri soner if the sheep were his, when he said "No." The pri soner then went away in another direction. The sheep be longed to Mr. Foster, and he (witness) went and told John Ilabbs, who put thou again into the field. Mr. M'Malion having inquired if Mr. Foster, the prose cutor, was in attendance, and being told that he was not, proceeded to address the jury, strongly urging the great probability, from the prisoner's respectability and good character, and the open way in which the sheep were cilia to have been driven from the field, that the whole was nothing more than a business transaction—a buying and selling between the prisoner and the prosecutor. The learned counsel then called a number of most respectable witnesses, must of whom hail known the prisoner thirty years, and described hint as a man who had hitherto borne a very excellent character. The learned Chairman, in summing up the evidence, referred to the argument of the prisoner's counsel, as being improbable in the extreme, inducing as it did the supposition that the prisoner load purchased the sheep, and was afterwards prosecuted for stealing them. One of the most common ruin of law was that, where property which had recently . been mis-ed was found in the possession of a party, it lay w ith such party to preve that he had come honestly by it. After a brief consultation, the jury returned a verdict of Guilty, recommending the prisoner to mercy on account of his good character. Tilers was another indictment against the prisoner, charging hint with stealing a lamb from tho saw field, belonging to another party, which was soot pro ceeded with. _ . ---- The learned Chairman, having referred to the evidence of the prisoner's guilt an being us clear and conclusive as any ever produced in a court of justice, and to the olkuce as being one of so serious a character that at one time it was punished with death, sentenced the prisoner to be trans• ported for tho term of seven years.—lrefrerlia»wron Chronicle. I much better, and would be enabled to attend the next examination. Mr. Bingham asked the prisoner whether lie wished to say anything in answer to the alleged charge, which was one of a very serious nature The prisoner replied that at present he should decline making any defence, and he was remanded.

Lord Palmerston sent down on order that the America should be admitted in all the English ports on the footing of Euglish yachts—the custom-houses were all free to her, and the admiral of the station at Portsmouth offered every assistance and civility. The Earl of Wilton anc: the venerable Marquis of Anglesey, now SO years of age, were among the fi rst visitors on board, and they and all the members sod officers of the Yacht Club, and numberleu others, evinced in every manner the kindest feelings, and showed us the most del ieate attention. From the Queen herself we received a mark of attention rarely accorded even to the highest among her own subjects; and I was given to under , stand that it was not only intended as a courtesy extended to myself and friends, but also as a proof of the estimation in which she held our country, thereby giving a significance to the compliment infinitely more acceptable and valuable. Long may the bond of kindred affection and interest that binds us together at preseat remain unbroken. As a fur ther proof of the feeling of the government and the people towards us I will mention the following act of kindnesir— We had the misfortune the day helore the race with the Titania, to knock off a part of our outer shoe. This ren dered it necessary that we should haul her out, and we re paired to the government dock at Portsmouth fur the pur pose. Oa the instant the application was made, an order was issued by the admiral to repair her in the shortest time possible. If you could have witnessed the vigour and good will exhibited, from the admiral down to the humblest mechanic of the yard, to complete her fur the nest day's race, you would, I am sure, have felt the obligation (ren dered so doubly binding by the manner in which it was tendered) as deeply and sincerely as ourselves, and would regret, as much and as sincerely as ourselves, that any caws of quarrtl should arise to separate two nations that I want but to be better acquainted with each other's good qualities to become and to remain fast friends. She was docked at twelve and finished by eight o'clock the same evening. For this important service no remuneration, in any shape or way, would be listened to. The admiral, iu expressing the pleasure it gave him to do us a service, en deavoured to prevail upon us to believe the obligation to be altogether on his side. I trait, with confidence, that if m erlon should occur, this delicacy and feeling will be as promptly and as delicately rwaproestad." MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, Oct. 22.

Thomas nji;eTt:lle7tisiir ma n ager, and .Imes Douglas, clerk to the Patent Silvering Lilacs Company, in Deniers street, were brought up on a second charge of conspiring together to defraud the company. The previous charge against the prisoners on which they stand committed was for forgery, and uttering certain receipts for money with intent to defraud the company. The case yesterday task the form of a charge of conspiracy against both prisoners, it being alleged that they had for a length of tune acted in concert in charging it higher amount of wages to the com pany than the actual amounts received weekly by the work men. Mellish, as manager, had the hiring of the work men, and the settling of the rate of wages they were to re. ceive. Douglas, as Mellish's clerk, had the paying of the workmen, the money being given to him by the cashier on production of the wages book. Mellish had constant access to this book, and us it was subsequently discovered that the rate of wages to the work men was entered in the book at a higher figure than the sums actually received by them, a charge of conspiracy was made against both, in cunsegutnee of the largeness of tho amount fraudulently abstracted from the company, ex ceeding 3,000 f., it being inferred that Mellish, from his position as manager, must have been cognizant ut what was going on, notwithstanding Douglas having declared liim,elf to be the only guilty party. Charles Case, silver mounter, in the employ of the com pany, said he was engaged at ie wages of 221. a week. Ile was ill fir seven weeks this year, during which period he was away from work receiving no Wages. In the wages book a sum amounting to it. was entered as if paid to hint during the time of his Wins's. had not received any such sum. Benjamin Dean, the cashier, proved that he paid the pri soner Douglas the amount entered on the wages book as having been received by the last witness. Samuel Perry, another workman, had been hired by Mellish at 2tas. a week. Afterwards got a rise to 22a. On the Vito of August lust saw the wages book open, and no ticed that he was down as receiving 21s. a week. Gave in formation to his employers, which led to an investigation, and the subsequent apprehension of the prisoners. Mr. Dean proved he paid Douglas at the rate of 2ls. a week to, the last witness. The prisoners reserved their defence, and were fully com mitted on this charge. lIAMMERSMITII„ Yesterday, Mary Jastph, a nun, residing at the Asylum of the Good Shepherd, at Hamm( rNinitli (a charitable insti tution establishial fur the penitence and reformation of females), was summoned before Mr. l'aynter for assaulting a young woman named Angelina Adams, by cutting off her hair against her will. . . • . . CoMplainant been brought to the court by the pariah authorities a few dap ago, and in consequence of her state ment the summons was issued. The complainant now stated that she went into the Asy lum of the Good Shepherd in July last, and that about a fortnight after two nuns held her while a third (defendant) cut off her hair against her will. She had often asked to be allowed to leave, but they would not permit her, and at last she effected her escape by getting over a wall and into the road She hail formerly lived in service at Liver pool, in a catholic family, where she occasionally savr priest, whose name .she did not recollect, who persuaded her to go to Lon.ion to a situation he bad for her, and that he took her to town and to the asylum in question, where he left her, and she had not seen him since. She also stated positively that she was a protestant, and had always professed to be one, and had lived in Liverpool all her lite till now. In by the Rev. Mr. Mullin; chaplain of the asylum, the witaess, in a saucy and sullen manner, without looking at him, said she did not know the Rev. Mr. Connelly, of Mourtields. That he had never sent her to the convent with a letter of admission. That he had never relieved her, and that she had never been to Moor fields, or had gone by any other name. Sho did not know the Orphan Asylum at Hampstead. Witnesses were then called on the part of the defendant, who, iu a most clear manner, contradicted the complainant in every part oilier statement, showing that she had been at the asylum three years before, but was dismissed for mis conduct, and that she had fallen in with the Rev. Mr. Connelly, and by a piteous tale of her living in a bad house, and wishing to amend her life, induced hint to relieve her and to send her to this asylum, front which they discharged her the next day, on finding who she was. That she had always professed to be a catholic, and she was identified as Mary Anne Burke, formerly an inmate of the asylum at Hampstead for sit years, in which name she was admitted into this asy:um on the previous occasion. It was also proved that it was a rule at this establishment not to cut the hair of an inmate until after four years' residence, and that she was living in London at the time she stated she was in Liverpool. The chaplain of the asylum said it was unnecessary to re mark on the case or the evidence, and it was not their wish to proceed against the girl for perjury. He thought her exposure and her conscience would punish her enough. Mr. l'aynter said he had never heard so shocking a case of deliberate perjury, apparently without motive. The character of the asylum was fully vindicated, and it was only just to the ladies who conducted it, solely from pure charitable mons es as it appeared to him, that perjury should be punished. Mr. hipster then ordered the pri soner to be put in the dock on a charge of perjury, which was done, and she was remanded for a week that she might be indicted at the sessions. Thu summons against defendant was of course dismissed. SOUTH WARN. Joseph Nye was charged with wilfully administering poison to Ann Gadding. Sergeant Wright, I'd division, stated that the woman Gadding was so seriously ill from the effects of the poison alleged to have been administered to her, that she • as ren dered incapable of attending the examination, and was at present under medical treatment. The sergeant then pro ceeded to state that, from information he received on the lrevious day respecting th e a ff a i r , h e went to the prisoner's odgings, and found that he was absent. He (the sergeant), however, waited about the neighbourhood, and succeeded in taking him into custody late on the previous night, when he operised the prisoner of the nature of the charge against him, and said that it was for administering poison I to Ann Gadding. His answer was, "Oh, it was only done in a lark—there where others in the room when it occurred, and no harm was intended." The circumstances attending the offence with which the prisoner is charged occurred on Monday, on which day, about 2 o'clock, the prisoner called at the woman Gadding's lodging in Delf-street, Kent-street. On entering the room where she was he took a raspberry tart out of his pocket, and, offering it to her, invited her to take it. She at first refused, but after his pressing her, she was at length induced to comply and in his presence partook of the greater part of it. The prisoner remained there, and in about half an hour after she had eaten the tart he asked her how she felt. She replied tkat she felt a nausea or sickness at the stomach, and a nasty taste in her mouth. His remark to that was, "You will feel a ' good deal worse before you are better," and then 'added, " I have only given you a Spanish fly and a half." Soon afterwards she became so thoroughly ill that the people in the house were compelled to send fur a medical gentleman, who pronounced that she was labouring under the effects of cantharadis and if immediate steps had no t b een t a k en t o neutra li se t h e effects of the poison, there was no doubt but it would have proved fatal. As it was, the poor woman was much debili tated from the quantity she had taken, but was ceaddered TIM DAY, Noon. Course of Wind. titrenarth of Wind. state of the %rather. E. Calm. Overcast.

Mr. Puckett, the secretary, read the report, from which it appeared that this ragged school had been established as a supplement to the Agartown School, in connexion with the Ragged School Union. It was conducted entirely by voluntary teachers ; and the committee had to regret that a larger number did not tender their services. Many children were anxious to attend on these long evenings; but the committee were obliged to limit the attendance according to the number of teachers. The present number of scholars in the Sunday school was 453-21.5 boys and 238 girls; of teachers 38 , - 14 male and 23 female. In the branch school the number on the books was 301, of teachers 14. The average attend ance at the Sunday evening ragged school was 40 girls and 10 boys ; making a total of 1101 who were under instruction. A valuable auxiliary to the schools was a circulating library, which was much prized by the children, and was also beneficial to their parents; but it was crippled in its usefulness through want of the necessary funds to procure new books. The treasurer's account showed a balance of 21. due to that officer, which the meeting were asked to aid in liquidating, as well as to provide the necessary expenses of the management of the schools for the next half-year. The report was adopted, and the meeting was addressed by the Rev. J. C. Harrison, of Camden-town, Dr. Hewlett, and other gentlemen.
