A somewhat curious case was brought to a conclu sion yesterday in the Court of Common Pleas, being an action for assault and battery, brought by a Roman catholic curate, named Foy, of Shercoek, in the county of Cavan, against the Rev. Randal, M'Cullum, a Presbyterian minister, residing in tbel same neighbourhood. It appeared from the evi dence, which was very voluminous and contradictory, that the Rev. Mr. Foy, having purchased a ran, was in the habit of taking it out to shoot at birds for his amusement, but by an unlucky coincidence he dia• charged it at a small bird close to the defendant's house, on the 12th of July last; and the Rev. Mr. M'Cullum believing, it is to be presumed, that this was dome, on that particular day, by way of bravado, came out of a field in which he was, struck the plain tiff, and attempted to wrest the gun from him. A gentleman who accompanied Mr. Foy managed to get possession of the gun from both ; and the chief contradictions in the evidence were with reference to an expression then used by the plaintiff, namely, whether he said to his friend, " Don't shoot him, " as himself alleged, or the contrary, as was alleged es the other side. The case, which excited considerable interest, and occupied the court during the part of two days, resulted in a verdict or i t t h e a r plaintiff, giving him 501. damages and 6d. oasts. The estate of Sir John Craven Carden, in the county of Tipperary. was put up for sale yesterday in the Incumbered Estates Court; but only three of the nine lots into which it was subdivided found pur chasers, and the price realised by these was 12,9681., being 19f years' purchase on a net rental of 6621. The estate of Mr. Daniel Mc Nevin, in the county of Galway, was next submitted for competition. The net rent was 9331., and the sum produced 16,1731., or about 17 years' purchase. Mr. Christopher Hamilton has withdrawn his pre tensions to the representation of Clonmel, perceiving, as he himself expresses it, that there was no likeli hood of any adequate support. The Irish Tenant-league had a meeting last even ing, at which there was as usual a great deal of tall; the principal speakers were Mr. J. Mc Namara Cantwell, Mr. Wilson Grey, Mr. Daffy, M.P., the Very Rev. Mr. Kearney, and Mr. M. A. O'Brennan, of hand-bill notoriety. It is stated that Ur. Dorgan and Sir M. Barring ton are making arrangements for the purification of the Dublin we're" Bardwell's patent, which consists substantially of a filtering ram, by which the water is made to pass through iron, scoria, char coal, and sand, which not only impounds the undis solved matter, but is said to deprive the water itself of much, if not all, of its offensiveness. The chief value of the process is said to consist in its producing a good marketable manure from the matter retained by the filter. A =respondent of Saunders gives some particulars eta murder committed near Loughrea ; he writss : Os the night of the 3th mast,. as a man named John Kilkenrey, about 33 years of age : of Ballyfa, within six miles of Loughs's, was returning from the fair of that town, and quietly driving home a cow which he had there for sale, he was waylaid and assaulted on the road, and from the effects of the injuries he re- ' °eyed expired about six o'clock on Monday evening, the 12th inst. A man named Michael Coloban has been arrested on the charge of committing the murder. THE .STORY OF AN IRISH EMIGRANT SHIP. The ship Marathon left Liverpool on the 22ad of Se...temher, with 62/ pameapre, mostly Irish. She arrived at New York, after a voyage of 60 days, in which she lest 61 persons of shalom The dl••••• broke out on the 10th of October. The New York Tribune states that the Mara thon arrived is port almost • wreck ; for • number of weeks uses had to be kept at the pumps both night sod day to prevent the loss of the ship. The ataintopgallaat masts were broken off, and the ennuis reports having last several suits of When be arrived in port he had Deuce • stitch of easy.a to spread. The ship was heavily , laden with iron, and roiled eery meets cawing great leak age. The possessors we.. in • state o f the most wretched poverty and filth. They were lodged on two decks, one above the other, and the atmosphere way festerously rot ten, sod alumni hot morph to r Me • blister. The desks were covered with reeking filth, to the depth of inches. " They hadn't time to slick up before the health alter cane on board." Tee passengers' provisions were ex hausted three weeks before the ship came into port, and the wretched Wises were redneml to the greatest want. Had the ship been •elayed for a few days longer the people must have starred. When mustered before the health °noir they promoted • fearfully emaciated appearance. The foul ear and wretched food had almost completed that which the cholera bad spree!. They appeared to be (s -leighing, and were 'Min half-baked oaten cake and sea biscuit- with ravenous avidity. The hospitals for the sick were situated at the bows of the ship, one upon each deck. Altogether they were capable of accommodating only eight peroac. We have been upon many emigrant ships, bat recollect seeing any in so wretched a state as this be fore. But we ere credibly informed that this vessel was' tweet compared with some which bring cargoev of immi grants to this port. The wonder is that disease sad want bare left so many to tell the tale of their wretchedness. WEDNESDAY EVENING CONCERTS. The concert of last night was of a very varied description. The first part consisted avidly of selections from Itmeinrs Guillaume Tell. and from the works of Mr• Benedict The second part was of a light and miscellaneous char►cter. The selection from Guillaume Tell began with the over ture, which was played with great force and effect. The vigorous "pas redoubli," with which it concludes, was loudly encored. The Romance, " Selva opus," was cgs ditably sung by Miss Stabbach; and the Misses Brougham, Mr. Pesten, and Mr. Weiss gave good effect to the pretty quartet, " The stream is softly Rowing." The great suns from the Damon del Logo, " Elena, oh tu," was given by Madame Amedei with rest dramatic power. The last movement, " 0 quanta lagrime," wee impassioned in expression and beautiful in voice and execution. This lady would be invaluable as a contralto on our Italian Opera stage. A Grand March, by Rossini, said to be his last ouraposition, written expressly for the Sultan, was played by the orchestra, strengthened by two military bands. It is a capital composition of its class ; and its fes tive and triumphal character would fit it admirably for a celebration at once martial and joyous, such as a victory Mir the Russian invaders, for which purpose we should be wry glad to hear of its being employed. The selection from Mr. Benedict's works included the overture to his opera. the Mianssiseyer, an excellent work ; the pretty dealt, "'Mid waving trees," nicely sung by the Miens Brougham; the celebrated bus song from the Gipsy's Warning, " nage, thou angry storm," magnificently sung by Ur. Weiss and encored ; the m•lancboly little air, " Ily the sad sea waves," which was rendered so popular by the charming singing of Mrs. Alfred Shaw ; and lastly, the woad Concertino for the pianoforte, played by Madame de Barry. This last performance was a great treat. Of t►e . _ Concertino we would say that its only fault is its brevity ; for in every other respect—in the melody of its phrases, the brilliancy of its florid passages, the richness and 'y of its instrumentation, and its masterly construction as • whole—it is wort►y of companionship with the finest pianoforte pieces of the day. Madame de Barry is young, and, we believe, a dibugarile in this country ; at least we had heard her before. She is a highly accomplished per former. She drew from the instrument a remarkably clear, mellow, liquid tone, for which she was partly indebted to the instrument itself (one of Kirkman's, we were informed), which struck us as one of the finest we have heard. Her execution was ezmedingly clear and articulate, and her " phrasing," in the cantabile passages, was full of taste end elegance. A greater quantity of tone, where much form was requisite, might have been desirable; its quality loft nothing to be wished. She was warmly applaud.), and premises to be one of the favourites of the semen. In the mooed part of the concert (which, as has been said, was light end miscellaneous) • number of popular vocal pieces were performed by Madame Ataedei, Miss Stabbach, Miss Lowell's, Mr. Perna, Mr. Weiss, mad others. The hall was well filled. UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL. OXFORD, Dsc. 14.—The Rev. Dr. Harington, je the Principal of Bressuese, died at eight o'clock yesterday is morniag.

ROYAL INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTS :—DECAY of Stom—At an ordinary meeting of the Institute on the 28th ult.,llr. Scott suggested that a cemmittee should ,be appointed by the Institute to consider tbeensghly the ' subject of the p Lien of decay in bailee stone. lArchitects were obliged to use soft stones, which sometimes proved durable in country places, whereas they delayed • rapidly in the metropolis. Caen stews had less Shwa to stand as it did in former timer, sad Kea IL Iblebell iistid. Ihe was able, by a very simple and namterstely *speedy* process, to render it durable, it was certainly a most int ; ',mast discovery. Ile understood that the process `was being used in the works in progress at Notre Dame, in Paris ; and if snoonsfel, its adoption was I more necessary in ibis country than in France. It was highly important that its value should be tested by the Institute most fully. Mr. Godwin also urged the im portance of the subject, and the propriety of referring it to ° a committee; but he thought they should also consider Mr. Hutchinson's process for the same purpose, which was in I operation at Tonbridge Wells.— Mr. Jennings said he i believed Mr. Hutchinson's project bed not succeeded. Its I rather object was to keep out damp than to preserve the stone —Mr. C. H. Smith concurred in the importance of ° the question, and stated that there were now in London many ship-loads of stone which ought never to have been . imported, and which had only been - brought here from anis. taken feelings of economy.--Mr. Hanel' observed that attention of the committee should not be limited to the I different processes referred to, but they should ascertain, if rind of stone was often employed in diff rent localities ; with very different results. The cause should be under ! stocd before s remedy was attempted.— The Builder. ORDINARY MARLS AND nom. Omni' MON Ytillirda7. I N. 20 1{ Labors. Nettlag. na ant Ilket Judi= .. In &I Illna.Welv.

The English funds opened at a further depression, and, though an improved feeling was for a time shown, the general tendency of the market is evi dently downwards. The quotations at 4 o'clock were not lower than those current at the same hour yesterday ; but the closing tone must be pronounced flat, owing to the gloomy view generally taken of fereign politics, and to intelligence of a tall of 4 per cent. in the French Three per Cents. at Paris to- " day. The Four-and a•Half per Cent. Rentes were at the same time reported from Paris as stationary in price, circumstance which is regarded as confirmatory of the recent reports that the price of the French Three per Cents. has been artificially raised of late, with a view to some financial operation in this stock by the French government. The business in the English funds to-day was of a more restricted cha raver, sales, however, preponderating. It is under stood that the sales of Consols and French shares are partly on account of influential parties who hitherto have been steady supporters of the market. Consols were first quoted 941 to 1 only, the tone being unsettled and weak. A rally afterwards took place to 941 to 3 ex div. for the opening of the 18th January, at which range the market stood at 3 o'clock; but at 4 o'clock the quotation was only 945 to and finally stock was offered at 945. At one moment, subsequently to 3 o'clock, the price was even as low as 941. The official business report is as follows:—Three per Cent. Console, for money (shut), 955; ditto, for the opening, 18th January, 941, -, a, 3, I. Three per Cent. Reduced, 943 s 1, 3, "93. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 965, 3, 1, 3. Long Annuities, 1860, 51. South Sea Old Annuities, 993. Bank Stock, 2203. India Stock, for account, 2485 ex div. Exchequer Bills remain quoted 6e. to 9s. prem., and India Bonds, 2s. to ss. prem. In tke foreign stock market business was quiet. Russian was weak in the morning, but rallied. Spanish continues to show a declining tendency, owing to the unsatisfactory position of public affairs at Madrid. Peruvian is more offered at present rates, and closed flat this afternoon. At 4 o'clock Mexican Bonds were quoted 241 to 1. Peruvian Four-and•a-Half per Cents., 69 to 71. Granada Deferred, BtoBl ; ditto Active, 21 to 22. Sardinian, 90 to 92 ex div.

There is still a limited inquiry for gold for remit tance to France; but the large amount of the precious metal brought in by the Victoria from Australia has not vet reached London. Letters received to-day from Amsterdam, and entitled to the fullest credit, state that the gold lately withdrawn from the Bank of England on account of Russia had been removed from that city under charge of Russian government agents, but its destination is not stated. The corn market to-day exhibited a decidedly firmer tone, at an advance of Is. per quarter for wheat over the rates of Monday. At this improve ment a brisk business wu done in corn off the stands. In floating cargoes several sales are reported, there being still considerable demand on French and Bel gian account. From nearly all the country markets held yesterday an advance in the price of corn is reported. At Liverpool the advance in wheat was 3d. to 4d. per 701ba.; at Hull 2s. to 3s. per qr. ; at Newcastle, 2s. per qr. • at Ipswich, la ' per qr. • and at Dublin 6d. per barrel. Nearly all the French corn markets advise a fresh rise in the price of corn, averaging 1 fr. per beet. (about 2e. 6d. per qr.) The top price of flour at Paris is now 102 f. per 157 kilo., or 66a. per 280 lbs. A numerous meeting of the shareholders of the Great Luxembourg Railway Company was held at the London Tavern to-day to ratify the alliance made with the Paris and Strasburg Railway Company, and with the Credit MO:oilier Bank of Paris, also to consider and determine on the consolidation of the different classes of shares, so as to reduce all to one simple denomination and enable them to take their position on the Bourse of Paris. From the remarks made by the President, Sir William Magnay, it tran spired that the undertaking having now surmounted its difficulties, has been enabled to approach the Paris and Strasburg with propositions for • junction; that this Great French Company fully recognises the value of the alliance, and that a treaty of a simple and oomprehensive kind has been concluded, whereby the interchange of traffic between the two companies will be carried on in the most friendly manner. The president of the Strasbourg Company and two of his colleagues have consented to join the direction of the Luxembourg Company, and afford the benefit of their practical experience. With respect to the condition of the line itself, the works, the chairman stated, are being prosecuted with the utmost vigour, and all is expected to be ready for the opening from Brussels to Namur in the spring of next year. It appears that no less than 8,000 men are now employed, and the number will soon be much augmented. The principal station at Brus sels is far advanced towards completion : the sheds for the locomotives and carriages are covered in, and the rolang stock is in course of delivery. It was further stated that such has been the stimulus given etthe construction of the line, that the proprietors the quarries, mines, and forests through which it puma are prepared to send along it at once an amount of goods traffic that would yield a net re venue upon the capital of at least 5 per cent., irres pective of the merchandise which will pass from Antwerp into the heart of Germany, and of the large passenger traffic which will be brought on by the junctionofthePariaandStrasburg Railway. The Credit Mobilier Bank have consented to act as the bankers of the company in Paris, and thus insure a favour able reception for the new consolidated shares, and the obligations or bonds. The shares are to be pre eisely.similar to those of the Paris and Strasburg, with interest coupons of 4 per cent. attached to them, and no call will be required during the whole of next year. M. Boseange, the Secretary-General of the Paris and Strasburg Company, then addressed the meeting, and was received with great applause. He stated that the advantages of the junction were ,so obvious, that it did not require much diplomacy to being it about, and as to the results, he remarked that, whilst the Paris and Strasburg was an incom plies line, they could calculate only on moderate re turns; but that, as soon as a connexion was eats- UAW with the other great lines, the traffic had, as if by magio, doubled, and that they had experienced much difficulty in supplying he requisite rolling stock. Still, the company had been able to do such an extent of business as would enable them to pay a dividend of 10 per cent. this year, and probably 11 or 12 per cent. next year. He added that, inasmuch as the present arrangements would make the Lux embourg form the head of the great European rail way system extending from Antwerp to Marseilles, he saw no reason why similar results might not be expected in this case. The proceedings closed with a cordial vote of thanks to the directors for the success which at length has crowned their exer tions. This was "making up" day in the railway mar ket. At the commencement of business light rates of " contango" in many cases prevailed, but the sub sequent arrangement of the account showed stock to be more scarce in the afternoon. Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Caledonian stocks were throughout the day wanted for the settling, particularly the two latter. Dovers continue plenti ful. Generally the settlement now in progress indi cates that business in the railway market has hecnme more and more contracted, owing to the political un- certainty now prevalent, but that the balance of spe culative operations is still for lower prices.

Caledonians -32 to 3.32 backwards- In French shares the late extensive speculation for the fall appears to have been mainly closed, and the rates of " backwardation " have almost entirely passed off. Most of the speculative shares have been carried over " even." On Luxenshourgs there was a " contango" of 1 :)2. to 3.32 per share. The shares of the British American Land Company rose in the morning to 80, consequent upon the re newed reports relative to the discovery of gold on this com?any's property. but closed at 76 to 79. The Australian Agricultural and Peel River Com panies' shares were rather cheaper, and other land stocks steady. In most of these stocks the settling discloses a moderate speculation for the rise. On British American Land shares the " contango" was to 2 . •on South Australian Land, 1 . 10 to ;on Australian Agricultural, to ; and on Peel River, 4d. to 6d. per share. Bank shares were steady. Victoria Dock shares (6/. paid) have been dealt in at it ; Australian Royal Mail Steam (8/. paid), at 21 r • Crystal Palace of France, at prem. ; and tle neral Screw Steam Shipping (181. paid), at 13. Subjoined is a letter from Mr. Charnock, who, at the meeting of dissatisfied shareholders held at the London Tavern on Thursday last, made some remarks unfavourable to the management of the Melbourne and Colonial House Investment Company : MELBOURNE AND COLONIAL HOUSE INVEST- DIENT COMPANY. TO THE EDITOR, OF TILE DAILY NEWS. Sir,-I•.ptarsiiar;;eora letter from the directors of the above company, a copy of which appeared in your impres sion of Saturday, requesting my attendance at the office of the company, and nftering a full and fair inspection of its affairs,;l* on Monday last attended there, and am happy to say, for the information of the shareholders, every requisite laformation was readily given to me. There appears to have been a lapse of time without active operations ; hut this is accounted for by the delay in the Registration Office, over which the directors say they had not c mtrul. The books of expenditure were laid open, and by them It appears that the outlay up to the present time has been trifling, and I was informed that the annual expenses are only nominal. As to the operations of the company, they seem at present to be limited. The directors, however, informed me that they have taken about six acres of land at Bow on lease at a reasonable rental, and intend commencing business in earnest forthwith. In the meantime a number of houses have been constructed for the company, which wiU shortly be despatched from Bristol. The directors, lam instructed, hold a very considerable stake in the adventure, sad they seem sanguine on their ultimate success. I understand the books are open to any of the shareholders. Trusting to your courtesy for the insertion of this, which I feel to be only fair on my part, to the directors,-1 am, &c., W. W. CIIAILNOCK. 3, Trinity street, Borough, Dec. 14, 11343.
