THE CARLOW ELECTION. I regret to say that blood has been spilled in Car low, and that it is feared that the life of a poor man, an adherent of Mr. &Weir, has been sacrificed to the fury of the tory mob. The occurrence; took place at an early hour this morning, when a riotous mob was parading the streets, and a poor elderly man named Cahill was stabbed with a clasp-knife, by a person aimed Wilson, who was soon after arrested, together with others of the Orange rioters, and committed to gaol. Wilson was identified by Cahill as the person who Misted the wound. The knife it appears pene trated the liver, and the poor man is not expected to live. The polling commences at eight o'clock to-morrow Iseening, sad the result is expected to be known by aOOll. JAN. 19.

I may also add, that although the Tenant rparty were so Ignominiously driven from the t the onset, they have succeeded in giving no slight aid to the tones, who have caused the letters of Archbishop Miliale and Mr. Moore, M.P., to be placarded over the town.

The railway market being at present mainly acted upon by the influences in operation upon Consols, followed to-day the course of that market. Prices in the morning were generally rather better, but fell back in the afternoon, and closed with a flat appear ance. The business is still chiefly amongst the dealers, the public holding off. London and North Western and Midland stocks are pretty steady, but Lancashire and Yorkshire is not so well supported. French shares underwent a further heavy fall this afternoon. Indeed at one period there was a species of panic in this market, the report of the failure of the Duke de Bassano at Paris having a Met unfa vourable effect. Large quantities of shares have been sold in this market on French account. The market closed at its lowest point. All other foreign lines are drooping. A irtier= ll.6l4 . IdismseVall Wm. SmiratObss.

WiIDNESDAT EVIININO. Discussions as to the course that will be adopted by the Bank of England again formed the staple of conversation in city circles to-day, and, owing to buyers being effectually kept off by the prevalent ' uncertainty, the security markets again wore a very depressed appearance. On the whole, the impression that the Directors will make a further rise in the rate of discount has become stronger, although opi nions u to the probability of the step are pretty equally divided, some parties regarding it as certain, while others think its adoption would be almost tan tamount to an act of madness on the part of the Board. It is anticipated the decrease in the bullion, in the next return of the institution, will be about 700,0001., but a portion of this falling off is clearly traceable to the dividend payments, and it must not be forgotten that no part of the large arrivals by the Australian steamer and sailing vessels has yet been melted and placed in the Bank. The Bank is stated to have been selling stock, a circumstance which, whilst against any further rise in the rate, is at the same time indicative of an increased demand for money. In the afternoon it was reported that the finance committee of the institution, which held its meeting to-day, had broken up without deciding upon any formal recommendation to the Bank parlour, there being, according to rumour, considerable difference of opinion amongst its members, and upon this report there was a further decline in Consols. In the great Lombard•street houses, to-day, no business could be done under 21 per cent., a fact whichspeaks strongly for the general impression that the Bank of England will persevere in its expressed policy. At the same time, money is plentiful, but parties who hold it, in view of the manifestly stiffening tendency of the market, stand oat for good rates. The de mend for money on discount and other securities is doubtless augmented by the apprehension of a fur ther Bank movement, and the desire to make all possible preparations for such a step. On the 22nd April, when the directors considered themselves jus tified in lowering the rate from 21 to 2 per cent., the coin and bullion stood half a milli3n less than at the date of the last return, yet now it is under serious discussion to raise the rate from 21 to 3. As regards the stock markets the public are evidently disposed to sell on any rise, one important consideration adverse to prices being the utter want of confidence felt in the pre sent French system of finance. One of the main features of the day was a species of panic in French railway shares, in consequence mainly of the announcement of the failure of the Duke de Ilassano, Grand Cham berlain of the Emperor, who has been declared un able to meet his engagements. The stock sold to this and other " bull" speculators, must, on their failure, be resold, and hence the panic which might naturally be expected to follow such an exposé. When the ruler of a mighty nation and his coun cillors turn gamblers on the Bourse, and are posted as defaulters, it is not surprising that alarm should be felt. The " bears" are also encouraged to go to work in the French share market here. There were some good purchases of Consols for the account in the morning, and the price ascended to 993, but money sales quickly followed, and the rate fell to 995 to 5 for cash, which was the closing official quotation. After the regular hours, however, the price ruled at 99: to 3 for money and 991 to for the 10th February. The Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. fell to 1031. Purchases of Consols on govern. ment account were renewed, but had little effect. The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 991, 1,3, 5,4, 3 ; ditto, for ac count, 991, 5, I, 5. Three per Cent. lieduced,lool, 1. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 1031, 1,1, 4, 4. Long Annuities, 1860, 61, 7-16; ditto, 30 years, 1860, 6 3-16. India Stock, 271, 270. Bank Stock, 2241. Exchequer Bills fluctuated a little, but finally left off at their expressed range of 60s. to 645. prem. India Bonds were transacted at 735. prem.

The executive committee, for promoting the esta blishment of tribunals of commerce in this country, have just presented a report to their president, Lord Beaumont, and to the general committee, detailing the position of the movement, citing cases and authorities in its support, and recommending a system of well-sustained agitation. As might have been expected from the advantageous nature of the results that will be attained should the association carry out its important and praiseworthy object, the cordial support of many of our most influential City names has been accorded, and the list of adherents is being daily swelled. The cause has also received the sanction of eminent judges and distinguished politicians, of practising banisters and attornies, and of several British Chambers of Com- merce. In France, Belgium, Rhenish Prussia, Denmark, Spain, and even is Turkey, tribunals of Commerce are established, at which disputes are adjusted at the smallest expenditure of time and money. In view of the advantages derivable from the system, it may be regarded as surprising that its introduction into Great Britain has not) et been accomplished. Lord Brougham has stated in the House of Lords, in reference to Tribunals of Com merce, that "the admirable working of the system it was impossible to describe in any language beyond its merits," and Mr. John Macgregor, M.P., states that on looking over the report of the Tribunal of Commerce for the department of the Seine, which sat in Paris, he found that it disposed of more cases in one day than all the civil tribunals in France settled in one month. The committee conclude their report by recommending that the working machinery of the association be immediately and effectively organised, so as to operate extensively on public opinion. With this view they advise as follows: That an office be taken to which all parties seeking in formation could have daily access; that tracts be printed for sale or gratuitous distribution ; that lectures be delivered in various parts of the metropolitan boroughs, and in the load ing provincial towns. By such means local associations, each having its local committee, could be formed, con stantly bringing their influence to bear on their respective neighbourhoods, and ultimately on their members of par liament, while they would maintain a regular correspon dence with the executive committee. In this manner co operation would be established between the metropolis and the most distant pane of the kingdom, and even with the colonies ; a knowledge of all cases of oppression, too many of which are suppressed, might be registered, and unity of purpose and action would invigo rate the movemeat. Desultory and intermittent efforts at reform have always failed ; success can only be secured by constantly bringing a subject under the notice of the public, and fixing their attention on its im portance. Your committee are aware that an agitation of this character must be sustained by an expenditure of money, without which publicity can never be given to its objects; nay, the very existence of the association would remain unknown except to those with whom it originated. The promoters of tribunals of commerce must, therefore, expect to b.. , called on to subscribe the earliest funds to give the first impulse to the movement, which your com e mittee believe woull soon be rendered self-sustaining by voluntary contributions. r The quotations of stocks at Amsterdam on Tuesday : are thus reported by telegraphic express:—Dutch • Four per Cents., 95; ; ditto, Two-and-a-Half per Cent,., 65 3.16; Spanish Deferred Three per Cents., • 23 3-16 ; Mexican New, 241; Portuguese New, 88g DR. ACIIILLI'S CASE COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—Tats DAT. Boon loan Cannata, Ma hems Canaan. XL Janus Wannaa, an Ma. Jaffna Eau. Tam Qum( V. NIWKAN. ; This important cue having been specially flied for hear ing to-day, the court was much:crowded at an early hour. Sir Alexander Cockburn, Attorney-General, Mr. Saddler, Mr. Addison, and four of other gentlemen, appeared in sapper' of the rule, and Sir F. Tnesiger, Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Mr. Bilk*, sad two other counsel, appeared to show cause Sit. after their lordships had taken their seats, bir F. Thrive said he objected to the rule being made alsolute. The bathed judge who presided at the trial er renns diwaidefaction with the verdict of the jury, and wirweill knows that the judges had always shown great relostesse to interfere with the verdicts of juries. Lord Campbell.—The judges expressed no opinion on way or the other. Sir F. Thesiger.—Precisly so. The court would recol lect that Dr. Aebilli we. called upon to defend lazuli against charges ranging over twenty-6M yeah. and all them charges had reference to circumstances which took place is foreign mentries—in Viterbo, Copt's, and other places—and he had am the means of obtaining the avidness to sustain his defence. Lay enquiries that Drills • might hath made I. Italy would have lima futile, while large seats of money were awbseribed an the other side and diabarsed by the friendly hands of Italian priests. Facilities of all kinds were given to Dr. Newman to search archives and records, and to gain mishaps la every direction. It wee impossible for Dr. Aebilli Is same to trial underi more formidable cir- curnstancts, gad that was isertainly one !won why the I greatest latitude shad* be allowed to Dr. Achilli in this proce•ding. Alma Dr. Newman published his charges, Dr. Achilli applied for • rule, which was granted. To the criminal lallarmatisa Dr. Newman put in two pleas : one of oil piney, sad the second a justiticatioo, containing 27 cr OM the period between 1826 and.lBso. I. that plea all those charges there was no at tempt mailleteenlahlie dee great mei , Cty of them and upon ti tees thereetald he ao deabt that a verdict of pultynanst have have been Tetanal bp Moiety. It was unreasonable to suppose that their lordships would rant • rule which would enable Dr. Newman eie rake up evidence' of which he did sot avail himself apses ,the dormer oecwion, and which would Waist upon Dr. AeleMl the ghost cruel injustWe, and subject him to the most enormous expenses. He (Sir F. Thesiger) trusted that ikthat court he was safe from the popular and perhaps not unnatural prejudice, that the number of the charges furnished some ground for supposing that they were true, and yet the Attorney-General had not disdained, when applying fir the rule, to adopt that fallacious mode of reasoning. Such • course was an insult to • learned Judicial tribunal. He would plowed to call their lordships attention to those charges of great enormity which were contained in the plea ofjustalication, and which were as capable of proof as those Bought to be established, and on which the verdict of the jury must have been against Dr. Newman. It was stated at the 4th charge that Dr. Achilli was appointed lecturer at Viterbo, and that for earns offence he was de privedof his leetureship,but that the nature of it was unknown to him, and in the nest charge, for he would take them both together, it was stated that as early as 1827 Dr. Achilli "had earned the reputation of • scandalous friar." There might have been some disposition on the part of the Roman catholic authorities not to reveal the nature of Dr. Achilli's alleged offence in 1828 or 1827, but it was certainly incom prehensible that such a decree should exist in 1852, when Dr. Achilli had been for many years a seceder from the Roman catholic church. and whey the cue be tween him and Dr. Newman excited the deepest interest throughout the whole of Italy. If thaw charges were true, they could have been easily proved. Then the 2nd, 12th, and 214 charges alleged that in February, 1831, Dr. Achill.' debauched one Rosa Ale:Abadan' in the sacristy of the church ef Viterbo, and that he was compelled to give her father a sum equal to 101. as hush-nsonity. There was no attempt to prove these charges, and when Dr. Achilli was examined upon oath, be denied the whole of the statement. Then there were other charges of the same character, all which, as the court would remember, Dr. Newman utterly failed to prove. Then there was another charge of an extraordinary character, that in 1831, Dr. Achilli, being a Romish priest at Capita, Viterbo, and other places, preached against absolution, malesaion and ether prominent dm trines of that church, and agai nsti the moral obligations of chastity and continence, and that by this preaching he de bauched various women, and was guilty of habitual incon tinence. These were charges of great enormity, in which the proof had in some cases not been attempted, and in' others utterly failed, and he asked their lordships whether, under such circumstances, they would inflict upon Dr. Achilli the great cruelty of compelling him to incur the heavy expense and great inconvenience of another pro tracted trial.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—An accident occurred on Monday morning on the Hamilton branch of the Caledonian railway, by which several passengers were injured, although it is believed, not dangerously in any case. It appears that, in consequence of a slip, caused by the late heavy rains, the trains between Blantyre and Hamilton Junction had to run on the same line in both directions, and, with a view of preventing collision, orders had been given that no trains should start from ei.ber end of the single line, unless accompanied by a pilot man appointed for the purpose. Had this precaution been attended to, no accident could have happened, but from some neglect not yet fully ascer tained, a mineral train was allowed to pass the Blantyre station, and enter on the single line, unaccompanied by the pilot man, and the n ine o'clock passenger train being then approaching from the other end, a collision was the con sequence. As both trains were going slowly as directed, the shock was happily net so violent as it might have been ; it has, however, unfortunately been attended with injuries more or lees severe.—North British Daily Mail.
