'BEE TRADE AND TILE BOARD OF TRADE RETURNS. (Fr.i the Daily Noma) • iiVR Male-T% is to-day to preside at R Privy Council, when the substance and the terms of the kirevn stir 1, to ithirrow to deliver in Parliament will be finally settled. the Protectionist Ministers who, till the an.e.th of March in the present year, were I load and unanimous in declaring that free Trade bad inflict... great injury on the country,—and several 6 1 whom love since then rep Med such opinions, will have to s aplain to her Minim' in what way her hangdog' has been desolated by the policy whist they have rv.,di tugged. The Board of 'trade tables for the month of September and for the first nine months of the year. yeasts relay published, must help to make their task ant owl . one. These tables inform us that them were 23,932 Olen, 17.: et cows. and 111,722 sheep imported in the nin, months of 1852, against 23,12 t; oxen, 11,612 Oohs, sod 114;246 sheep imported in the nine. Months et 1831, or 7,701 more oxen and cows and 1 30,166 more sheep imported in 1652 than 'a Ln that nine mouths, however, the graziers and flock masters have been doing remarkat4 well, and the people. by this addition to their styptic* have been so much bettir fed. There was consumed, too. in the nine months of 1652, of foreign corn—wheat. 1,1199,766 qrs.; burley, 171,173 qrs.; oats, 5:i0.479 qrs.; maize. 1,066,239 qrs.; and of foreign 'lour 3,196,2:11 owts., well a proportionate quantity of beaus mil pees. All that is a great achlatims to the, people's food, but while the price of wheat is 2s. SI per gamier higher now than it was host year at this time, the quantit of foreign wheat less consumed iu the nine months v . ( Is'2 is 1,379,169 qrs., of maize 42thei:s3 spa., and of fureien dour 1.2A1,350 qrs., than in the nine inotehs of InOl. If the wheat growers, therefore, have suff e red this year it is not from en excess of the qoantity ef corn imported, but from other causes. The Protectionist policy would have curtailed 'these supplies still more,—raised the price still higher,—and, if it increased revenue and rent, would laic substituted a decaying and discontented for a prosperous and a contented people. Ilaving a toleg able supply of bread and meat, the people bait , consumed in the nine m nabs of 1652 the t'ollowinit qu oeities of the undermentioned com modities, ..s tonyared to Iteril : YIN' MONTHS. 1852.

When we examine, too, the sort of sugar consumed, we find that the consumption of foreiwi sugar has fallen off' 3:37,119 cwts., while the consumption of British plantation, Fed Indian, and .lituritius has increased 1.133.311 ewts, rho result, therefore, of the reduction of our sugar duties, which the Protec tionists and the anti slavery ,arty reprobated, is not to iacn•a the consumption of gave -grown, but of free labour sugar. What will Sir Jolts P. INGTON say of *hi-, --or what will ho advise her NIAJESTY to osy to Pdrliaintmt about again increasing the pro tecting duties on sugar ? • - • _ .. . Turning from articles of consumption to the mate rials of manufacture, the tables inform us that iu flax there is an inerea.se in the nine months of this year of 3611,071 cwts. ; of cotton, of 908,774 ewes.; of silk, .571,7 4.5 lbs.; of timber, foreign, 90.621 loads, and of wool 466,350 lbs. In metals and other articles there is a similar in crease; Ira we stop the enumeration to notice the ;nerves,. of wool, because it has been expected that there %mild be a great decrease in this article. In fact, in the import of colonial wool there is a slight decrease, but it is more than compensated by the increased importation of wool from other parts. At the same time, the exportation of foreign and colo nial wool has fallen off 3,290,025 lbs., leaving us really with a greater stock of foreign wools this year than last of 3,762,675 lbs. It must, however, also be noticed t hat thee:putative of English wool in the nine months exceeds in value the exportation in the same period last year by 289,7251.,—great1y to the advan tage of our wool growers. For this the flock masters are whoriy indebted to Free Trade ; fur the time is not yet remote when the exportation of wool we. strictly prohibited. With the specimens we have given'of increased importation and of consumption we must be satisfied, but we cannot avoid noticing that the importation of potatoes has fallen off from 418,770 ewta. in 11t31 t• 238,739 cwts. in 1832 ; that bacon has fallen off from 151 399 to 62,500 cwt,..; butter has fallen of from 235,529 to 218,816 cwts.; and cheese has fallen off front 223.040 to 205,229 cwtw ; and of moot of these urtieles the decrease is successive. The duty on butter and cheese makes it adrantageses to turn arable into pasture farms; but land duped qualities will not pay different seats, and there Ma nut long be different rams of peat on dialled agricultural occupations. The readli o therefore, le Its force capital front the caltivatie• of sea into dairy' farming, and to supply our peopil eflik bees grown butter and cheese. As less et Sm.

In all Us; important manufactures a the country there is an increased export, sa there is an increased import et must of the articles of consumption. The tables take no notice of the precious metals imported, nor of the quantity exported, but both have been considerable, and have ad to the amount of freight, and have Increased the business of the country. To these examples of our growing . prosperity we mast add that the tonnage entered inwards in the nine months is less than that of last year by 811.711111, but of this diminution only 207,008 tons est et 3,052,711 are English tonnage, while 314,738 tams out of 1,790,127 are foreign tonnage. English Map stage has declined only 7 per cent., foreign tonnage has fall. n off 18 re cent. Whatever mar be' the cause of the diminution of tonnage entering inwards, it is not the result of foreign snub beating English vessels out of the field, for the foreigner.,—and particularly the Prussians, who were the must dresuled,--are the beaten party. The tee nage entered outwards shows an increase in the nine months of 216,112, and as the increase of English tonnage is 232,873 tons, it is plain that while or tonnage outwards has increased, the foreign tomusp has fallen off. In these facts we have evidence as strong in favour of the repeal of the Navigation Laws as the increase of imports and exports is in favour of Free Trade. How will Ministers meet these facts ? How can tiny iiiplain to her MAJGATT the disadvantages of Free Trusle so as to induce her to sanction them in de claring to Parliament that it has been an injury to the community? They will hare to recant all their doctrine,, this day before their royal mistress, and Confess that they dare not follow in Ake the principles they ineulated in opposition. In calling her Mtn ,Tr. attention, —as they will gladlycall it,— to the tranquillity and prosperity of the people under their admiuistratix:, they will be obliged to admit th tt contentment and prosperity are not due to them, and that they, as well as the country, arc deeply indebted to that policy which Toryism has made it a life-long banners to deers.

On Monday, at She meeting of the Geographical Society, Captain Penny:in answer to the call ut the pre sident, made sons, 41(.1a-sting remark. respectia the future route of tbe search. lie directed the attention of the meeting to the chart, and puintieg to the Wellington Chants I, he r. marked—" You will there bed diet Captain Sir Edward Belcher has only now catered upon the door of the search. Then turn your eyes to the Anse shore, you will (hire see it. M. eh4c Euterprise and Inveoegator vainly strugOing with a drifting body •if we, in a potation which, if Franklin had been there at all, we eliould have bail him in England long ago by his own beaten path. The renewed mareli that I have now the honour to propose., in order to solve this great geograpiiieal problem, would he worthy of England's humanity and eons mereial wealth. We have now a new ags ut at command,—namely, screw steam power. What I propose, then, would he that two steamers be despatched to Behring's Straits, so that they should he early on the ground to take advantage of the land ice. That they should pass along the Asiatic shore, through the strait formed by Cope Yikan end the land seen by Wrangell and her Majesty's steamer Herald, into the Arctic Basin, where on extensive belt must exist, in the months of June, July, August, itud September. Any one can easily conceive what en extensive search would be accomplished in four montliv by traversing in every direction that vast ocean. The whole distance from Cape Farewell to Befalls Bay, although one thousand miles, iv icebound in April, hut in Angust frequently not a pieco of ice is to be seen. If imw von will tun your attentian to the northeml of Spitz hergen, and lay down by compass one thousand miles, you will see that it will reach New Siberia and the Asiatic shore. This proves unquestionably that a large sea must exist even to the Ynle, And who is the that would not be proud to see the lag of our beloved Queen flouting upon it. With these fasts before us, we should urge upon the government the adoption of Mr. Petermails Novi Z AllIbi; route, the practicability of which he hes so clearly demonstrated, and which processes each great advan tortes of manner:lel wealth to the, nation. I would suggest that a sin 11 screw reamer, of a light draft of water, not more than six feet, be likewise despatched to Captain elttegnire, to search along the American shore, in order to wa'eh weir the brave men on board the Enterprise and In vestigator, who have become second Prauklia's. Likewise, that Dr. Itae should be despatched again along the Victoria' land towards Banks' land to watch that coast for the arrival of the same party, Circe Captain Maclure and his crew will probably be compelled to abandon his vessel this spring. I have yet a valuable fact to bring forward. I have this day received a letter from Stromness, which informs me that Id American seamen who left their ship and wintered in an inlet discovered by me on the west side of Davis Strait, have killed 13 whales during the Reason, an amount of food upon which Franklin end his whole crew might have sub sisted during the whole time he has been absent. With these valuable facts before us, and such induesenents, is Eng land to lag behind in the solution of the greatest geogra phical problem of the last three centuries, and which by the aid of steam power might now be happily resolve t" EnGLISITMAN. -An Indian °Meer, in an account of a trip front India to Port Peinip, says : " After we got clear of Java Iliad we had a fresh breeze from the south•east, and, as we had been unable to take in water at Anjer, the captain decided upon doing so at some small islands I had never heard the name of before; they are called the Cocoas, and are about 700 to 800 =Unto the suu'hward and westward of Java Head. Their history is richer curious. A Captain3liess, formerly in the Eat Indian service, lives on them with his family. Before Borneo was given up to the Dutch he was governor of k, and while there he advised the English government to allow him to build a sloop of war, as there was such magni ficent timber. She was launched only the day before the ' island was given up ; but the Dutch: allowed him to finish Mr, and the English government there made a present of her to Captain Roos as a reward for his services. He cruised about in her for many years and, as it were, re discovered these islands, for they h ad been known to exist although visited. He took a fancy to them, wrote home to England, and brought out the whole of his fauiiiy. The English government refusing him protection, be his placed himself under that of the Dutch, and got 300 Malay slaves, whom he liberated upon arriving in the islands,and formed a settlement there. His ship was lost on a voesge to Betazia, and he was many years without having anj in- teroouree with the world; but, being nearly starved, fur the islands produce little more than cocoanut-trees he bull a schooner, making the ropes of the cocoanut fibre, and the sails of the thick bark that is round a cocoa-nut troy just below the branches. He was just sailing, when a whaler put into the island, and front her he procured canvaa and went to B,t ' , since which time be has traded regularly there, riling cocoa-out oil, of which he makes great quanti ties, having a steam-engine of ten horse-power to bruise and press the nut. Captain Ross is a strange, Roust looking man ; he and his eons resembling Robinson Craws. They live in wooden houses, raised about tea feet, on piles, from the ground, and are as rough as you can well ima gine. They have books, end On quantity Captain Rom his read is wonderfaL He has been twenty-eta years in this islands. The Malays are • lazy set of fellows ;he pays them ea mush a day, sad so well that they won't work for morn than two or three days a weak. The greatest punish ment he inflicts is to banish them from the islands.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE EARL OF RIPON'S.— Yesterday afternoon Mr. Bedford, coroner for Westminster, held an inquest at Charing eras Hospital, on the body of Robert Goodman, aged 64. The deceased, who was a painter, was on Thursday last engaged in painting the ex terior of tin residence of the Earl of Ripon, No. 1, Carlton-gardens, and for the work he was about was stand ing on a ladder placed upon a siege 30 feet from the ground. Unfortunately he overreached himself, and thus overbalanced the ladder, which immediately fell, and pre cipitated him on his head into the area underneath. He was forthwith taken to the above hospital, where he was promptly attended to by the house surgeon, but expired on Sunday in consequence of the injuries. The medical gen tleman stat. d that death was the result of laceration of the brain; hut the skull was not fractured, which was ac counted for by his fell being broken by his coming in con tact with a gas pipe across the area. The jury regreted that the numerous scsffold accidents which had lately ott curreil had not impressed on masters as well as workmen the necemity for adopting precaution ar y measures and mole care.

MEETING OF GERMAN REFUGEES. At one of the late John Murray's authors' dinners, the poet Campbell, being called upon for a toast, gave' " Napoleon," explaining as his reason for proffering rt tentiment," at the linen sit utterly unpatriotic, that the Emperor bad fully stoned fur all his political sins by his I social discrimination in shooting a bookseller. But in Ger many, where the " publicists" are nut l'ariohs, a different view is taken of such a mime ; and it is remarkable that two of the moat stirring watchwords untie use of by tlut combatants for "German unity," or " Vaterlend independ emcee," have consisted of th e names of two booksellers— Palm and Blum. Palm" was the shout of the student battaltous in the Prussian struggle of 1812 against Napoleon, as it ligroin less the rallying cry of Blucher's dragoons at Waterloo; and it is in dm nano of It then Blum that the more ultra•politiciant of Gerinany now renew their reward' hared againtt Atssurm elesputiAn. In London the Gunmen refugees meet every 9th November in an annivere try COMM moration of the martyrdom of the boldest and honest( s r ut the democrats of the Frankfort parliament,and on these occasion. opportunities ore envied and nag. rly seised for protesting in all the immunity of an English pl ttfofm egoist tha reactionery state of things cuutinueil on the continent. These festivals are warmly welcomed by the German political exiles resilent among us, and they present some intrreq corn for Etiglith politicians; and the commemoration which took place yesterday even in.; at the ITOCCIMOIn"Iavern is entitled to some descrip tive notice. Shilling tickets admitted to the meeting ; and at the doer of the m eting there was a supper, participation in which reqoired the additional expenditure of half-• crown per heed. We did not wait for the supper; and we suspect the guests were not numerous. But the large b ill eng.iJed for the me, Ling was densely crowded, principally with Ger mans; the mass of 'lconic' physiognomies being varied with the darker traits of ' , Alien. Pules, and Uungations. There were a few Engli.hmen, of the class anti cast of face only met with at Reform meetings; and there were some lathes, thou being for the most part German Jewesses, which is explained by the tut that a great number of the German refugees are Jews. At the head of the hall, be hind the chsirman, was hung a large sized and well painted portrait of the heavy but intellectual face of the gladiatorial bookseller: and ever the picture drooped the dull flag of the abstract German republic—the tricolor, "rowans, rush, and gold." Agues, on each site of the picture was hung that equivocal "red " banner, which has unhappily been made the emblem of spoilage and murder iu modern politics. The chair was taken by Profaner ARNOLD Rune, a gentleman of extensive political celebrity in his own country, and of considerable political power. After having , invited the orchestra to a prelude of tousle, which was ea- eceilingly bad, he addiessed the meeting (in German). He I commenced by explaining how it was that Robert Blum had become the apostle and martyr of German freedom. Blum was the thorough German representative man. lie was intensely the toms of the German people; he incorpo- rated ell their instincts, all their faiths, all their aspirations; ho embodied the people's demand fur those rights promised when Napoleon bbd to be crushed Out never granted ; and he was the voice of the people's generosity when they had their tyrants in their power an -1 should not have been generous. He was the man of the era— precinly the man to translate and put in action the pas sions of the time. All Germany spoke in him in 1848, with the greater effect that he was sprung front the democracy but he was too German in not being severe enough, for when the Germans had conquered their kings, the sword was left in the hands of those kings, and the democracy had suffered accordingly for that fault. Ilium, however, ' was intensely the democrat. Ile had resolved to go as far • the people would go; and not to foresee—to anticipate— bem than they did ,• and his faith in the people was so great Mat he regarded their instincts—their impulses—as wiser than all the calculations of statesmen. He was no philo sepkez—no Utopian, as no optimist. He was a Inge- Warted, clear-headed, practical man, hating wrong, and laving his race ; and he had determined to do sod to call on others to do precisely that which Le believed the time demanded. The speaker proceeded to sketch Blum's political life—the political action he had called into existence in Saxony, and the impetus he gave by his permed dauntletanne to the religious anti•papal movement slimes. After a rapid survey of the history of the Frank- , Art parlimmat i sad the appointment of Blum (with Flubel mid Rfirtiren, the poet), as a deputation to the Viennese re volutionists, he entered into a defence of Blum's much questioned conduct doting the struggle in Vienna. Vienna was, at the time, the turning point of all the efforts of en slaved Europe in 1818. If Vienna were made secure again is the hands of her Emperor, and without conditions,' Hungary could not long have resisted, Italy would have been overwhelmed ; and the Auttrian empire re formed the rest of Germany would have been overrun with reaction. Blum understood this, and attempted to master the crisis; and be fought gallantly, and fell like a hero of humanity under the bonds of his assassins. But in Blum's blood had been written a now charter fur the people ; for, as Pericles said of the Athenians who fell in resisting the Spartans, the grave of a great man was the whole earth. This part of the speech, or rather elegiac siege, was loudly cheered ; end the cheers were taken up again when the orator—announcing his belief that the time was rapidly approaching when Blum would be ' avenged by a new and permanently successful revolution throughout Europe—expressed his conviction that, in their next contest for freedom, the Germans would obtain the sympathy of the English people. He distinguished between the English government and tho English people. The English people were no longer dictated to by a class or a man—by nn aristocracy, or by a Pitt, or a Wellington, as Ohs mouthpieces of clasps. The English nation was dictat ing for itself in these dap in its political relations with Mtn peoples; and it could not be that within the same =IP re there could long be a London and a Naples— Institutions and military despotism. London was liellesdig the beacon of the world ; and the English nation mmdd aeon admit that they must contain another people, Miami it fought and did not win, in struggling with del la Germany force must be met by force ; and the Rust not suppose that freedom was to be got, like a la degree—by a motion or by a division, or by public meetings. The English bad used the sword lam ; and the Germans had imitated them, and wee imitate them again and again. (Cheers.) The heath would recommence ere long. Humanity still lived; sod pit 'ph had but to be patient and to have faith in them selves, and to be true to that faith. This faith in the destiny of democracy was the new religion of the world. Professor Huge wont on to point out the errors committed in the years 18489; and then to vindicate the democrats from the false chaise' brought against them. It was a lie to my, as the " Philister" party had said, that the demo erste and socialists were robbers and murderers. They had essght but to rob the sword from their oppressors; and May would seek to murder only—the murderers. (Great aissaisg.) Which party had abolished the punishment by &add (Loud cheers.) As absurd were the charges of the Miser party—the "Frivolen ." The .. Frivolen," in ridi culing the demeerat's faith in the possible perfectibility of society, did sot redoes an argument—they bin meetessed their own matemptiblesess (gemeinheit). The Gennemo had learnt amessery lessons in their failures. lbw had learnt to know themselves; and, still more, to wieginis their tyrant'. They might fall main, but it shesM not le because they were deceived in the kings. Kr. Oscan Farm of Vienna, was the next speaker, NA gratified his audience: with a vi 'sample of the nee litionary shoot stoesSery. _feesor Ronge was quiet, &likes's, and unisqlosied—ia a word, German—in his style; NA to this Herr Fs& presented a remarkable esterase, indkratiag the semi-Selavonie character of a Timor% and the great extent to which M. de Lasnartine's ==the oratory of the Oirondina have affected ea well as modern Irish elocution. Hen Psik's losiamatom tribute to the memory of Blum (his illsof) was not very reportable; and, as hie poetic ab senteeism Implied no opinions, and conveyed no hots, this h dm lees to be regretted. He gays an account, in very ex ag gerated and inflated language, of Blum's career up to 1848 ; that career, as he phrased it, being essentially that of the revolutionist—a revolutionist in politics and in religion. He described Blunt in his early local e ff orts u a reformer; then as the German orator, ad dressing a nation, in the Paul's Kirehe of Frankfort; and lastly, as a combatant (Herr Falk having also been onel at Vienna, carrying barricades, and then stopping to weep over the fallen. Referring to the future, Herr Falk ex pressed the same faith as Rug" as to else coming revolution, which he hinted would begin in Paris by the dethronement and death of the "Caligula of the day. ' Germany would rise on the first opportunity; and, said Herr Falk, as the blood of the maryrs of freedom had been so copiously spent that, if collected into a lake, it would drown all the royal houses of Europe, the duty of the democrats would be clear in a new crisis ; and that duty would be to erect a permanent guillotine. This "red" sentiment, it Is but t to say, was not warmly applauded ; and clearly cheer ing it would have been Inconsistent with the hear-hears neviously extended to Itupe's vindication of the humanity and mercy of the alleged "robbers and murderers." Herr talk concluded by saying that Germany now only awaited anther Robert Blum. Dr. TANSINAN followed, speaking in English. This gentleman is much better known than any of the other Berman refugees in London, and his influence with his countrymen seems earned by the statesmanlike tone he as• senses. Ile speaks English with ease, if not with elegance, std his residence among us, and careful attendance at our public meetings, appear to have had the effect of teaching him all the tact sad art of our own platform orators. Cer tainly the style Rat be very superior, and the result is, tint Dr. Taiwan, though speaking in English, was more mmeessfal thee *lsar of the gentlemen whom he followed. elefifilefillhill the meeting could not be regarded as a l timmenstration. Tim Germans were not to be ' they were beaten for the time ; and they tact tt bet right in standing on and speaking from keli rzaoN hos platform leg them in Europe, and in en.' g i aims ems wan those political virtues of lad to which the English had the rest of the world to trust. He pro ended to romper the question he was often asked—why SW GUMS dehoeraty held Blunt in such reverence : re peating the opinions of Bl um ' s char ac t er previously ex pand, and saying that it was not because Blunt was the only or even the greatest martyr, but be ".site a . concurrence of circumstances had made Blum the the representative of the whole German people at Vienna; because his asmaelnation was one of pc• cular atrocity ; and because the man himself was of that pure nature—loveable in his family, and therefore virtuous in the political arena—which excited enthusiasm in aroma leg regrets. The learned doctor went on to show that the English nation had lulicreusly misunderstood the whole German political struggle ; and, man instance of the falla cious reasoning still influencing our leading etatsimes whoa they bad to refer to Oennan politics, he menticuted lb. Ma . Gautey's recent speech at Edinburgh. That speech, said Dr. Tatisenan, was a libel upon the democracy of Europe. Ile was an admirer of the works of Mr. Macaulay; be this particular speech had made him pause in his tribute; and he had begun to doubt whether this heart of Mr. Macerley really best with that of mankind ; whether it did not beat merely for the success of a single party 1 Mr. Macaulay had proved Gibban to be short sighted in having thouebt that civilisation could no longer be is (huger from barbarians, sine* eivilieation could always command thelargest and most powerful material— resources of war. Mr. Macaulay bud discovered that civili sation itself bred the barbarians, who were more savage thau Huns and Vandals. lie (Dr. Tansenan) might ask if that could be the real genuine civilisation which produced such musters? (West cheering.) But ho did not admit the fact; judging of the ariuy by their leaders, he would Fisk it Lein' Kossuth was a herleerien ? Vas erWtlh Mateini a savage ? Was Arnold It age a Vaiolal 1 Sias Julianne. Emma • Hun? (Much she ' , ring.) accordiuw to Mr. Meraulay, had been saved; hut where were the Siana of this ealvatioe ? Was civilisation saved because all the capital. of Germany and Italy hat been sacked and himsbarded—because the preen was now everywhere garged—fweause there were hundreds of thousands is prison for political offences, and other hundreds of thousand, in exile—because popery woo everywhere aggressive or triumphant—hecause education was in the hands of igneraut and arrogant priests—because in all Italy the Bible could not he read—beesuce every king in Gerinuny had committed perjury—lastly, hecause Louis Napo.con, crowned scoundrel, wig shout to become an Ismaerot ? (Enthusiastic applause.) Well, if that in. deed were civilisation , he (Dr. Tausehien) would turn Arab, and, make war on that civilisation. (Great cheering.) Mr. Macaulay mistook desolated% fur peace: Le did not see that the democrats had newer com mitted a crime, and that they hal been crushed only by t-heir oppressors reverting to all the crimes which were at cursed of (hod and man. Mr. M leaulay lived too much iu Lis closet for the healthy play of his genius. lie lived eel,' in the circles of government boards, and did not under stand that a people had faith iu mnre than routine, and that what now existed from Paris to fit. Peter.hurg 'sae false and artificial, end could not last. (Loud cheers.) This Mr. Macaulay would soon ascertain, and then, perhaps, change Ids opinion. Louis Napoleon, the pateet saviour of civilisation, would soon invade either England or mews the !thine. If he invaded Germany, there would be at first only German armies to him ; and it was poesible that he would conquer those monies. And when rogue, fell out honest man came by their own; and when the German armies were destroyed the German people would look up, would or ganise their own defence, and would then seise and hold for over all that they had Inst. (Cheers.) This was what the successful tyrants of Germ my must be now antici pating; and he (Dr. Tausenaii) would tell them that though they had 3,000,000 of lehyonete to defend them he knew they rested uneasily; for tile), knew themselves that they were not Mr. klacaulay's saviours of Europe, but Asiatic despots, and that though they had sown disease, death, and destruction, the people, and not they, would reap the fruits. (Loud cheers.) JOitANNIES Ronne, the celebrated religious reformer, and founder of the " Free Congregations," next addressed the meeting, but in a manner I.) tedious end in a style so mystic that he with difficulty avaidehl a hissing dorm from the large crowd who had not heard his name announced, and who took his oratory on its merits. For a man who has exercised in immense an influence, and that as a preacher rather than as an organiser, he is a singularly awkward and unsatisfying speaker. His subject, on this occasion, was the " Solidarity of nations," which he re commended with the elaborate vagueness suited to the Plea. A Mr. LOCIIIAILT, announced as an English gentleman, hut rapidly developing himself ae nn Irishman, was the next speaker ; and as the hour WAS late, and a certain section of the meeting was anxious for something more substantial than Mr. Lockhart's not very well-arranged feast of rea son, he was induced not to prolong his remarks to the extent which might have made them appear more con netted and logical. When he had done, some part songs were sung in reference to the Deutches Rhein and the Doutches Vaterland; hut the elaborate prohibitions of those popular ballads not extending to the repast prepared in another room, the chair was vacated, and the meeting was technically broken up, though some knots of foreign gentlemen gathered still about the platform, expecting that familiar personage, Captain Ackerley, to keep a promise he had made (in French) early in the evening, to address " Kelky mo" to the intelligent anti innocent audience he had chanced on in the course of kis evening ramble in search of any public meeting. TILE EARTIIQUAKE IN TIIE NORTE [A summary of the following istalligesee, received by thICUIC telegraph, appeared is yesterday's EZPriMi ilvkau;ooL A violent shock or earthquake wait felt in Liver pool and neighbouriust I twos. at about half-past 4 o'clock on the morning et yesterday (faraday). it was distiattly felt by several persons in Liverpool, bet w..s eipmienced with greater violence in the osiduru and on the Cheshire side tit the Money.

The haront•ter is I unusually high for this se uon of th• y.ar, and during Monday night the thermometer rote nearly a quarter of the circle, although heavy r.uu had fallen. Since the s'.ock the arcatber has been rosAy, and a 111,411 drizzling rain M ASCII ESTEIL The shuck of an earthquake woes distinctly felt at Manchester yesterday mailing, at hull-pat lour o'clock, .rod was the subject of .cry g,neral conversation suhse• quo stly on the Keelmage, and in almost all ...cies and at puts of the town. Peop le were awoke by it in all parts of the town and for miles round. A gentleman at Corn brook, Manchester, states that he tilt the shock de, tinetly. lie describes it as a tremulous, vibratory inotii,n, from north to south, moving his bed from head t, foot. Another stentlemsn felt the snook, and ascertained the time to be exactly half-past tour. A gentleman at Sale (six miles:kW. of Mancht-cet), who ii a resided Dille years at Nt. Domingo, and has felt the motions caused by earth. tiu.k,s many times, says lie was awoke by it, suit reeeip Lima the sensation imencelestely ; it was like the vibration cau,sal in • badly-built hour,, when • heavily-laden vehicle rattles past. Elie crockei y rattled, and the een,a tion lasted about half • minute. Ile looked at his watch, and found that the time was half-past four. Another gentleman who lived about halt • mios from the same place, felt tti shock, as also did persons residing at Timperley Hall and Dowd, n. They all describe it on having • lateral motion. The r.iideuts of Davyhulme Hall noticed the shuck; and one of the ladies of the (study, bevies it nigh, I imp in her chamber, distinctly saw the dressing table vibrate to and fro. A solicitor at Bowdon, 12 'tides S.W. of Manchester, says lie was ea *kr and felt a tremulous motion of his bed. The head of the bed is to the north or north-east, nod the motion was as though some one stood at the foot and moved it to and from them. It was at exactly half past four o'clock, and lasted two or three seconds. It awoke his wife and one of the female servants. A respectable manufacturer residing beyond Holton, and about 11 miles I.N.W. of Manchester, mays he felt his bed tremble under him, so that he was completely aroused. His wife was awoke at the same time. The bed and the curtains shook with the motion, and his first impression was that some one in • room above was a or,ed with a fit. Several servants and members of the family were roused by it, and one of his sons went out under the impres.inn that the cotton mill had suffered damage, but found that such was not the case. On looking at his watch he found that it was exactly half-past four by railway time. A manufacturer, at llanalsottom, 12 mu -s N. of Manchester, felt the shock ; and a gentleman speaks of feeling the shock at l'an'e Wood, live miles south of Manchester, and heard the fur niture shake distinctly. He examined his watch, and found it exactly half-past 4 o'clock. Evidence of the f tot, indeed, might have been o4ained from a thousand persons in Man chester yesterday, but we heard of no demote done. Doge trembled, and were much frightened. Several persons speak of aiv !illation of sickness resulting from the vibra tion. Electric telegraph mess'g.•' on the Exchange speak of smart shocks of an earthquake bring felt at Holyhead, 'langur, and Conway, the same morning, at half-pest 4, accompanied in each place by a loud noise. At Liverpool, two shocks of an earthquake were felt about halt-put 4, preceded by a rumbling noise. They are described in the telegraphic account as very violent, but no damage bad been heard of. They lasted several seconds: weather very gloomy. la Manchester, the weather was calm and fair, but the sky overcast and very dart. The guard of a rail way train from Fleetwood says it had been felt also in that neighbourhood. SHREWSBURY. The inhabitants of Shrewslndy were thrown into a state of considerable alarm by a smart shock of as earthquake, which was felt almost precisely at half-past 4 yesterill um:laz ing. Fur two or three days an unusual quantity of rain bad fallen, so much so that the Severn has largely overflowed its banks. Yesterday the rain abated a good deal, but there was an almost unnatural stillness, and sultriness in the sir, like that peculiar state of the atmosphere which is so often observable immediately before a thunder-storm. Nothing unusual however occurred until half-past four this (Tuna lay) morning, when there was a very smart and distinct shock of so earthquake, which lasted, from the best infor mation which I have been able to collect on the subject, for about four seconds. While it lasted it caused great alarm; it shook the houses in the town and suburbs, making the loon and windows rattle, and in many instances noting people to leap front their lid.. In Mardol several very large cheese, were rolled off the shelves of Mr. Wil liams's, a chinsemonger's, shop; and is the Abbey•foregate and the neighbourhood of Shrewsbury race-course, the shock was more particularly felt than in many other parts of the tows. A dairyman, residing near the race-course, having occasion to tint his cattle, who were in the foldyard at the time, was proceeding across the yard with a lantern in his hand, when he felt the emend rack under him to such a degree that he could hardly keep his feet; but in the county gaol, which seemed to he in the immediate line along which the @bock passed with most severity, the scene was fur a short time truly alarming, the prisoners not knowing to what to attribute the sensation which they felt; and feeling the prison sensibly to rock shouted in great alarm, the more nervous amongst them thinking that it was a prelude to some sort of attack upon them. The turnkeys, on the other hand, attributed the noise in the first Motion, and the rattling of doors and windows, followed by the shouts, to a combined attempt of the prisoners to escape. The governor was roused op, and the teens which ensued may be mum I readily imagined than described. However, when the truth was ascertained, order was in a short time restored. The violence of the shock is evidenced by a portion of wall I adjoining Marshall's Thread Factory, near the Castle Fore gate, having fallen, and another portion of wall at the geode station of the railway terminus having sunk consider ably. The bells also of the Abbey Church were mows tardy shaken ; at Wellington also, and Oswestry, and other places adjoiaing, the shock was felt. It is somewhat re markable that though the entire vicinity felt its indseace, its intensity was limited to a very narrow line or strip of country, comparatively 'peeking. CHUM. NORTH WALES, Nov. 9.

A smart shock of earthquake was felt throughout this town and neighbourhood this morning at 4 o'clock. The universality of observation leaves the fact undoubted. IRELAND. Donuts, Telenet' Ev An extraordinary sensation has been excited here by the shock of an earthquake, which great numbers of the citizens felt at 4 o'clock this morning, but of the nature of which no one appears to have been aware, until, after a comparison of notes among ' neighbours, it became certain that the sensation pro duind could only have arisen from the cause I have mentioned. The following account from the Even ing Freeman gives the amplest details on the subject that have been collected We have this day to record the occurrence eon* of them great phenomena of nature most unusual in the region of the globe which we Inhabit—namely, an earthquake—a rlioht, hut very perceptible, shock of which was felt in Dublin and the surrounding country within a minute or two of four o'clock this morning. Owing to the hour at which it took place being one when so few persons were awake, slalom all the accounts of the pheromenon that we have heard are given by those who were aroused by the shock from their slumbers, and who could not, consequently. have been able to obse rve the commencement of the shock, or the mode in which it appeared to affect the surface of the earth. From our own observation, however ' and the concur rent testimony of hundred. of oth e r s who h ave offered their information, or among whom we have caused inquiries to be ine , f,, we are enabled to state that at the time wempecified— the houses in the city and neighbourhood were simulta neously shaken to the foundation, and the greater tiumlier of their inmatos aroused from sleep by the sudden swi•e and motion. The impressions which verioua persona felt on awaking are differently described. To some it appeared that some tremendous weight had fallen and shaken the house ; others supposed that an explosion of gas had taken IRELAND. Douttx, Nov. 9. In the case of the Queen against the proprietor of the .Anyto Cell, the pleas were handed in yester day by defendant's counsel, and were received by the court. A government investigation was commenced in Ennis on Thursday, for the purpose of inquiring into certain charges preferred against Mr. Cornelius O'Brien, M.P., Mr. John O'Brien, late M.P. for the City of Limerick, Mr. John M.:camera, J.P., and Mr. Andrew Lyeaght, J.P. ; in a memorial forwarded to government by Mr. Francis G. Morony, J.P., Mr. Burdett Morony, J.P., and Mr. William M'Mahon, L.P. Sir Lucius O'Brien, as Lieutenant of the county of Clare, was appointed to conduct the in quiry, and all the gentlemen named above were pre sent. The case against the magisterial defendants was briefly as follows: The memorial charged the four magistrates named above with partisan conduct in seeking to neutralise and overturn informations already received by the beach of magistrates of the Miltown Malbay Petty Sessions against six of Mr. C. O'Brien's men, who reside in the Ennistymon Petty Sessions district, and with having, contrary to the usual practice, attended petty sessions outside their own district for this purpose. It appeared that the six traverser., against whom informations had been received at Miltown, had been cited in pursuance of a warrant issued therefrom to appear before the Ennistymon bench on the 13th of September, there to enter into bail to appear at the next assizes. Some of the magis trates present having decided on hearing evidence on behalf of the accused previous to returning the case for trial at the wises, and the original infor mation not being in court, it was ultimately agreed to refer the case to the Miltown Board for final de cision ; and on the 16th, when it came on for discus sion in the Miltown Court-house, some of the magis trates charged in the memorial attended there to take a part in the proceedings. On this occasion the Ennistymon magistrates opposed the sending of the case for trial until evidence for the defence should be heard; and the magistrates present having polled on the question, the numbers on each side wore equal, and the case was further adjourned to the 30th at Miltown, on which day Messrs. O'Brien, J. M'Na. mars, and A. Lysaght, attended from the Ennisty mon district. The memorialists belonging to the Miltown district were present, as also Mr. Franks, S.M., Ennis, and Mr. bi'Cullagh, S.M., Kilrush. The question before the bench on this occasion also was as to whether the traverser, should be sent fur trial to the following assizes, or the case investigated before doing so. The magistrates were four to four on a division taking place, Mr. M'Cullagh giving his casting vote for the inquiry being proceeded with, in consequence of which four of the party accused were acquitted, and two sent for trial. These men were charged with being concerned in a riot at Mil town fair on the 21st of June, and obstructing Colonel Vandaleur in his election canvass. The proceedings of three days of the investigation are reported in the Cksre Journal, but they bad not concluded on Saturday evening. The Telegraph of last evening suggests the names of Mr. Henry Grattan, Mr. John Reynolds, and Mr. Sharman Cranford as candidates for the representa tion of Carlow, in the room of the late Colonel Bruen. The following is a correct list of the new Queen's Counsel who will be admitted to the inner bar this day. The list includes some names in addition to those already published : —George Wright Creighton, Hans Henry Hamilton, Echlin Molyneux, Edmund Hayes, Bartholomew Clifford Lloyd, John Hastings Otway, Thomas Lefroy, Itoss Moore, Hamilton Smyth, William Weetropp l3rereton, Sir Colman O'Loghlen, Henry West, James Robinson, Patrick James Blake, Sterne Ball Miller, Robert Longfield, James Berkeley. The Louisa, a large Austrian ship laden with corn, consigned to Messrs. Cardwell and Holden, of Newry, was driven ashore on Cranfield Point in the storm of Saturday night, and wrecked, the crew saved. THE SIX-MILE-BRIDGE AFFAIR. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—Pirmme, MONDAY. At the sitting of the full court this morning, the Snlici• for General (with whom were Messrs. Manley, Q Hayes, and Graydon), said he appeared to move that the inquisition in the above cage should be quashed. There were seven distinct inquisitions, but he would take the but of one of the parties, via ,—that of James Casey, sod move that it should be quashed, as the judgment on one case would of course govern all the others, on the ground that there was no evid.•nce to sustain the fielding of wilful murder against Chi istopher Damper, J.P., John (Henson, and the ether soldiers of the 31st Regiment charged. Thu charge against Mr. 1/...lmege and the soldiers was, that on the 22nd of July last, they did, by discharging certain fire arms, kill and murder this person, and the 1.11 other similar findings were, that these same soldiers, each and every one of them, killed and murdered each of the persons who met with their deaths on that occasion. There was a vast body of depositions in the case, and although the the y there u t° an question involved was one of great importance t o the effectual administration of justi ce , h e (the &licher Generel) would not consider it necessary to refer to the gre a t er per assworn merely to' sa w hichto wwhaest n on relevant tpoioinntofatwhivatuew, but evidence to affect Mr. Delmete and the eight soldiers charged with so enormous an °fleece ; and for that purpose he would refer to the testimony of magistrates, officers and soldiers who witui seed shat occurred, and could only de tail the farts accurately; and he might observe that he supposed that it was only by accident that the persona to whew, testimony he would ear fur, were not included in the verdict. (Laughter.) The fame of the case were these:— On the 22nd of July there was a general election for the county Clare, and it appeared that a number of venni of ono of the candidates were locked up in a house against their will, to prevent them voting, which illegal act was in fact the origin of this uutortunate occurrence. In consequence of their de teutiou, en application, signed by four magistrates of the county, w.is addressed, in the proper torn., to the com mending officer of the district, Colonel D ogles, who pave enters. directing the troops to attend on the following day, and t wort the voters to Six mile-bridge, which order was in court, and would at least satisfy their lord.hips th a the military were present, acting under a lawful meliorate, and were compelled to discharge the unpleasant duty cow on them. TLe order issued was that the troops shoould he a safeguard to these incarcerated voters, and protect tit: m in Casa any violence was atteanne ol towards them on their way from Limerick to the place of voting ; end the tett nt officer whoa issued that order swore that, if sc,ldiers were attacked with Stones, and knocked down when obeying boil: :tin order, it would he their duty to lire if net:emery, otter first trying what the bayonet would do. Colonel Staunton, one of the moat experienced officers, was also examined, and stated he was not with hie men en tho oecwien is question—but that he ascertained their numbers to hove been forty-one and that they had fired without an order from their nailer re or u meals trate, an he considered they were justified in doing moiler the circumstane s. Ile (the SulicitohOeneral) had stated that, by accident, some of the county magistrates were not flung guilty of wilful murder, and he would refer to the tetinvony of one of those tomb:men, Mr. Belem Wadi r. Before lie did en, however, he might rot ation that Mr. %Inseam and the troops, un the 26id, went to Themeed. bridge, in Limerick, wean° they found the voters loeLed up, and were detained for a citnOdt table period, until the soldiers were obliged to batter at the door with their museetie Mr. Waller mete that he joined the escort, and aeonnspenied thereto Sitmile-bridge,where he first sew the Bev. Mr. Burke, who came up, and shored hire in his at tempt. to interfere with the voters; be passed on and called the voters convict., and GP the caraleide reaching the chapel, stones were thrown at the withers and voters from behead, se leech -co that he was knocked down and when he got up he bound everygmen acting fur himself. Ile found the mob engaged hand to hued with the military, several of whom lie saw knocked down before a shot was fired, and tho opinion he gave of the occurrence was that the lives of both voters and nailitary were iu dagger before the latter wont their weapons. This gentleman then went on to ray with sequel to Mr. Delancey, who o.s accused of firing, sod ordering the soldiers to tire, that he saw no pistols with him until evening, and then he observed him drawing the charges, and remarking they were perfectly clean, which showed that they had not been used in the couresof th. day. Judge Cr 11111. ton—flow many lives were lost? The Solicitor-General—Seven de.d, and it is said that several others were wounded, but not one of the wounded were produced as witnesses at this extraordinary inquest. Thu Sallit . i , .ll of the locality where this occurrence took plate was a matter of consideration. It would apeear that Simmile-bridge was approached by a Street leadieg directly up to the court-house, but at will he toned that ate particular point, the escort, instead of geing down the direct way, tweed tap a lane, for the lupus. purpose of avoiding a celindon with the people, the 'ray thing which afterwards occurred. When the newt arrived at this point, the magistrates and officers in charge of it observed that the main street was choked up with people, and a policeman hoeing ineented Captain linger that he could go to the court-house up the lane, and w avoid the crowd, tlin former wok that route, and chauged his Coyne accord ingly. After passing this particular part of the lard., at appeared from the evidence of Constable Boyce, that the troops were on their way towards the green to awed the crowd, and that the crowd, otserving them changing their course, followed them, and went up the lane after them, shouting and hooting,and thro wing nonce ; and he positively swore that he heard one man w nth a stick in his hand say— " Come, boys, hire the voters au, doe't let them pass," which clearly showed for what purpose the mob had assembled—,and what the object woes they hog in view. This expression was used just before the escort vet into the late, and at the same moment that this party came up another party of people ran round ,he other way to attack the troupe, " and make stones hop off their bayonets," as the witness described it. Another constable named White Rave testim .ny to show that the attack was teerrovokee ; detailed what occurred near the court-house, and proved that the Rev. Mt. Clune, a Boman clergymen. tolled out to the mob when in that excited state aud said— " Toy are bringing voters here izie --- e;rr,Uniijiirere standing by idle," upon which the people went off in a body darn the lane, soon after which the stone-throwing and tiring commenced. This showed who were the ring leaders, and what it was intended to do. Again, a con stable, named Thompson, deposed that he was an duty on the same occasion, and saw the pause rev. geutlenian urging the mob to stop the voters; and constable Curet ' gan described similar conduct, and said he saw Father Cline take off his hat and say—. They aro coming ; will you allow them to come by i" upon which the mob rushed up the lane, and the stones were throwu ; Constable M'Birney was also examined at the inquest, and he teld this wise jury that he wee on duty at the court-house window, and saw and heard souse person, w :torn he did not know, shout out—" Come, boys, here they arc; come let us rescue them." Now, he (the Sulicitor•Oeneral) submitted that all this evi dence abundantly showed a design —a preconcerted plot to attack the magistrates and her Majesty's troops in the lawful discharge of their duty, and to rescue voters, who were merely going to exercise a cuestas'. tioual privilege. Mr. Studdert, a magistrate, and a gen tleman of the highest character, was likewise pr 'duced, and stated that he heard the Rev. Mr. Chine address the people, and cry, " Shame, boys shame. Is there a man amongst you ? Here are the voters coming ;" and the crowd immediately ran round the corner, and in a couple or three minutes after that he heard three shots fired. Again, Mr. Gabbett„ a magistrate, who was in the court bowie, having heard the firing, went out to sea what it was about, and tound a soldier lying down on the ground, and the people pelting them with immense stones as fast as they possibly could. Independent of all this evidence, some of the persons who were in the vans and who drove the vans were produced before the coroner auti their testimony sera equally clear as showing the cause of the unfortunate reucontre. Mr. Mulqueen, who was a voter and in the van, swore that he heard a person say—" These are Keane's voters, let us take them away ;" immediately after which the mob rushed towards the escort, and lie observed one soldier get a blow of a stone in the face, from which he was covered with blood in a moment; and this all occurred before the military took any step to protect them selves end their charge, further than to call on the ',opts to take care what they were about. Then a witness named Lonergan, who drove one of the vans, swore that a man came up to his machine, and caught the leaders by the reins, and cut them across, and then attempted to cut the traces, and would have succeeded but for a soldier who was standing by, whom he called on to interfere. At this time the stoneslwere flying, and the soldiers being knocked down as fast as possible, and not one of them had at that time tired a single shot. Perhaps he (the Solicitor-General) might here observe that this appeared to be a very saga cious, cautious witness, for he informed the coroner that he protected himself from the melee by keepiag his head in the shade of his mare's bead. (Laughter.) Another car driver was produced, named Neville. He drove the second car, and saw Lonergan's reins cut, and the stones thrown in the way described by all the either wane before the soldiers had fired. This man's car was broken with stones, several of which were found in it. Ryan, another cannon, was brought for ward, and gave similar testimony, and also informed the jury that Mr. Wilson—a gentleman who had been in the army, and who had been a marstrate—said that, sup posing the attack was made by the people, as stated, that the spot selected was the safest place for these, which he (the Solicitor-General) relied on as proving pre-concert and prs.arrangement in the movements of the mob. The Ranted geo•leman then went on at considerable b ngth to refer to the testimony of Captain Eager, Lieutenant Hutton, Mr. O'llslloran, and other peril., examined at the inquest, to show that the troops did not fire until violently assaulted; that they fired without orders, and were Wily justified in doing so under the circumstances; and that no court could sustain such a verdict, where there was no legal identity of the parties.
