THE TIMES ON ^PEACE." TO THE EDITOII OF TEI ZITItEBB. SlL—Joly the nth will be noted an the day on Wall took place the formal junction of the Tinsel with the face Society. After having persecuted that body with the sawn virulence, the Times coolly turns round, and select ; :from the banners of the society the smallest and the dirtiat, it avows its determination to fight under it to the Amidst much that is great and noble in the society's ellocacy of their price:pin, it must be confessed that the Wed to the pocket sounded rather strangely to the ten of Englishmen. There may be many reasons' shy you should not return or revenge an insult tr in injury, but surely the least valid of all is that which aexs the passibie damage which may be inflicted upon you mane. A man knocks you down. Don't return the aimpliment says a mild looking minister of religion, such cadent would be at variance with the faith yon profess. Sou think that there may be some cogency in the argu neat, and perhaps follow the advice. There will be no peel in fighting with this man, says another, you will add to poor own sufferiags, and what good will it do you to increase hit There is something like nommen sense in this reason er!. and if you think so, you may possibly follow the advice. If, however, a third comes and tells you," Put op with your broken Lead and bleeding nose. If you determine to fight, you will spoil your clothes and increase yew tailor's bill ; you will have your pocket picked, and be obliged to pay somebody for holding your hat "—you feel strangely disposed to startle your adviser by calling La a sneak. Yet this was the nature of the advice which the Times gave the people of England yesterday. TOW ally has been insulted, injury has been bided to insult—treaties have been broken, for the observance of which you have made yourself resnasible, the step taken by your enemy is fraught with the most fearful dangers to the progress of European civi lisation, the present loss to yon is enormous, the future deur is incalculable, but never mind honour, or faith, or intent, look to your pocket. See what you may have to pay for it. Don't prosecute a felon ; think of the lawyer's Ins It can 'scarcely be denied that this is rather shabby. If burglary or highway robbery are to be left unpunished, the better ground for sparing the offenders is that high.epirited petlemen must live, and if they can't make for themselves es honest hiring, they must gain the means of living out of the pockets of honest people. The Emperor of Russia,it might have been said, is such a gentlemanly outlaw, that he ought ant to be judged by the ordinary laws of society. The Times ny►t have addressed public opinion, as Falstaff addressed Prune Henry—" I pr'y-thce sweet wag, shall there be *loin stsnding in England when thou art king ? and re elution thus fobbed es it is with the rusty curb of old father suck the law ?' Do ant thou when thou art Ling hang a Mit( " The people of England might not any more than Prate Hal have conceded the request, but they would not line felt that they were spoken to as dirty hucksters, and they might in their generosity have emulated the act of the muice, and conferred upon the overgrown counseller of evil ways. the privilege of " hanging the thieves." Ile Tint', however, never gibbets thieves who pilfer largely and royally, and who disdain to give any other en ema for their wickedness than their royal will. Brave se the Times is on ordinary °ensigns, it cowen before a thief an imperial garment. The Falstaff of Printing-house wears m►y account for his behaviour in the words of his redeemer —" Should I tern upon the true prince ? Why, than knowest I am as valiant as Hercules : but beware in- Maw the lion will not touch the true prince. Instinct is a gent matter. I was a coward on instinct." Lay one who has watched the Times during the whole Popes+ of the agitation of the Turkish question must 1 late seen how constant h►s been the action of this " in- Piet " Instinct told the Times that when there was a chance of a wolf making a meal of a lamb the easiest me thod of coming to an end of the matter was to preach the Mentableness of the sacrifice. Russia wants Turkey, k said ; Turkey can't help herself ; therefore Turkey must be eacrified. When, however, i suss shown that Turkey was neither itself in the exec Paition of a victim for sacrifice, and that it was not without lowwful friends, the instinct of the Tames, although it did net display itself so openly, we rked evally surely. It temeorised. Now, when the deed is done, when the sacri fice has commenced, the instinct develops itself more strongly than ever in endeavouring to preserve the depreda tor from interruption during his tusholy work. It sdvo cotes the cause of Russia by crying out " peace." Now flame has had its way, the Times entreats the world to be quiet, and not disturb the autocrat. Now all the advan- Mrs of peace are gone, the nail, like the evil counsellors is the Scripture, call► out " Peace, peace, where there is no peace.'• The advice of the Teems amounts to this. " The wolf. you see, has wised the lamb; let him at lean enjoy his meal in quiet." This is the end of the tortuous line followed by the Tones daring the period which has elapsed since it first tried the temper of the public by asserting that since Russia wanted Turkey's provinces she must have them. This is the conclusion arrived at upon the merits of an atrocious vi -lesion of the law of na ions. Take no notice of a deed of violence, for there is no knowing how much you may have to pay for your interference. There is no notice of the morel unreal of the question—no sentiment of shame at the necessity, if the necessity really exists, of looking on while outrage is committed. The whole case is summed up is a pecuniary balance-sheet, end the public is told to do nothing but audit the account. The tree( of all sensible people is, that even looking 1 ; 1 ?on it from the point of view taken by the Tunes--thater Mere interest—our loss must be enormous. The injury in flicted upon the Turkish empire by the occupation of the Danubian principalities, must, by rendering her weaker, pave the way for the accomplishment of the views of the auto rat. The great use of Turkey to England is, that while its integrity is kept up, it opposes a formidable bar _ 116, to the encroachments of Russia upon Europe and also lon our Eastern Empire. The more Turkey is weakened the more shall we lose our influence in the countries on the eastern shores of the Nei diterrenean. "It can scarcely be doubted," up the writer of an able article on the subject in the last number of the if Renew," that in such a disruption of the politics of the East, the principles involved in the treaty of the Dardanelles, relating to the channel of Constan tinople, which have in a great measure kept the naval forces of the Euline in the back ground, would be aban doned by the states of Europe; and that the naval station of ltussia (or its outport at least) would be advanced from Sebastopol to the Golden Horn. Nor would such • pusiifon of affairs fail to render the commercial interests in the black Sea more or less precarious." These are a few of the results which will appear in some future b-lance sheet, if the progress of Russia is not checked. If such a crisis should ever arise, and all the constitutional governments of Europe be trembling at the imminent destruction threatening them from the approach of the northern der ot, there will be numbers who will be forced to the conclusion, in spite of the Times, that even in • pecuniary sense it is not always cheap to purchase peace at the lose of national faith and dignity. . _ _ You - rs, A SAXON. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. WARSAW, JULY 1. The Russian officers arc flocking to Czenstochow to make their bows before a miraculous image of the Blessed Virgin, as they did before the Hungarian war. 'MOLDAVIA. JASSY, .71:LY 3. Prince Gortschakoff's proclamation is posted near the Palace of the Hospodar. It is printed both in Russian and Itumoon. SINOUTZ, JOSE 24. The Sultan's firman of June 6th, giving new guarantees to his Christian subjects, has been here this fortnight, but has not been published in the principalities. The Russian consuls forbad the lios podars to promulgate it, and reminded them that the armies of the sovereign were at hand. The Ger/min Gazette, of Bucharest, has been suppressed for pub lishing an article on Eastern affairs. SERETII, JVNE 30. M. Ozeroff is at the head-quarters of General Gortschakoff. The peasants in Moldavia are selling their draught oxen at any price, fearing their im pressment, and the introduction of the murrain from Bessarabia. We have telegraphic despatches from Trieste of the 10th with intelligence from Constantinople of the 27th ult. Baron Bruck, M. Lacour, and Lord Stratford de Redcliffe had hud frequent conferences. It was resolved that, the dispute turning solely upon the form in which the pnrileges of the Greeks should be guaranteed, such a form should be devised as it was hoped would be acceptable to the Czar and not incompatible with the sovereignty of the Sultan. The three ambassadors were unanimous upon this point. Reinforcements have been sent to Battoum. The correspondent of the Oest. Deutsche Post, writing on the 23rd ult., undertakes to state that the commander of the American squadron in the Mediter ranean has, in a private audience of the Sultan, eftered the active support of the United Statcs in the event of a warwith Ruceia. This offer is attiibuted to the sue- oess obtained by the American missionaries in several provinces of Turkey. It has produced a great sensation. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY Elo: LNG. The following telegraphic despatch, via Trieste, dated Constantinople, June 27, was handed about on the Bourse to-day : The representatives of the powers continue to pursue the path of mediation. The demands of ltuvsia will probably be accepted as to their groundwork, but net in the form they have been made. All the propositions made for the formation of foreign auxiliary legions hove been rejected by the Porte. The French and Logliah fleets are still at 1 130eike. The Circaroiana are concentrating their forces under the command of Schamyl. This is a private despatch received by an office of correspondence here, and is evidently of no autho , rity. The orders given to Prince Gortschakoff and the actual crossing of the Pruth by the Russians could not have been known at Constantinople when this despatch left. The Bourse was much agitated at the opening in consequence of intelligence from London. Bankers' letters announced a considerable 611 in Consols after business hours yesterday, and Ilhe adjournment of Mr. Layard's motion was consi dered a symptom of a ministerial crisis. The Threes went as low as 76fr. 10c., but under the influence of a telegraphic despatch announcing that Console had somewhat recovered, the Threes rose to 76fr. 63c. for the close, being about the price of yesterday. An audacious impostor, whose trial before the Tribunal of Correctional Police has lasted several days, was yesterday found guilty of swindling, by taking money for conferring suppositions foreign orders and titles. This person has lived for some time in Paris, at No. 24, Rue Monthabor, where he lIRIS known according to his own representation as Alexander Andrew Prince of Gonzagne and Cacti glione, sovereign and legitimate Duke of Mantua, Cluastalla, Pozzoli, and Solferino, Marquis of Luzzara, Count of Alessanao de Murzynowski, Baron of Nem tadt, Grand Master of the Order of the Redemption, et the Order of the Immaculate Conception, of the Order of Devotedness, of the Feminine Order of Maria Elise of Mantua, of the Order of the Four Emperors, of the Order of the Lion of Hol stein, and of the Feminine Order of Saint Elizabeth et the Visitation. He also, at times, represented I himself as a General of cavalry, an officer of the Legion I of Honour, a Knight of the Order of Stanislas and St. Anne of Russia, of the military Order of Poland, and of the Order of Stanislas of Salm-Kirburg. He took advantage of the silly vanity of a number ci respectable tradesmen, and obtained from them cos siderable sums of money for "chancery fees" in rest pect of decorations, which he assumed the right to confer. He had a regular tariff, 300 fr. being the price of a simple order, 1,200 fr. of a commander's de coration, and 2,000 for a grand cross. Incredible as it may appear, he made upwards of a thousand dupes in Paris, who gave money in return for his worthless ribbons. lle did not, however, exact his full fees from those who could not afford to pay, for in one instance proved at the trial he created a Chevalier of the Lion of Holstein for a dinner at the Mallon Doren and a box of gloves. Several relish officers of rank proved that he was not known in any of the regi ments in which he pretended to have served. His advocate attempted to prove that the prisoner was really a descendant of the princely house of Con sague-Castiglione. The court sentenced him to three years imprisonment and a fine of 3,000 f. M. Flandio, one of the parties found guilty in the affair of the foreign correspondents has been struck off the list of members of the Council of Salubrity of I'aris, by M. Pietri, the prefect of the police, on the ground that at the trial, M. Flundin, "instead of en deavouring to divest the facts imputed to him of any political complexion, did, by his counsel, USIIIII2 an attitude hostile to the government. Some returns lately made in connexion with the demolitions that have been so long going on account in great measure for the extraordinary rise in house rent. At the present moment there are only 3,000 vacant sets of apartments in Paris, the average num ber during the summer months being 30,000. It is hoped that the price of lodgings has now reached its extremest point, and that a fall may soon be ex pected. Several newly built houses will be ready for habitation this month, and it is calculated that before April 1, 1834, thirty-two thousand new sets of apart ments will be constructed, bt sides those to be built for working men under the Emperor's decree. A report having been received from the Prefect of the Loire-InUirieure, and from a special commission, stating that the efforts made to drain the marshes of Donges have hitherto failed from the want of suffi cient pecuniary means, the Emperor has ordered that a sum of 131,000 fr. shall bo taken from his privy purse, and placed at the disposal of the Prefect of the department. A decree of tho Prefect of the Gard fixes July 22 for the opening of the fair of Beaucaire, and July 28th for the dining.

The sentence has, however, been commuted by Marshal Radetzsky into three months of military arrest without irons, on the ground of M. Gas par's respectability and perfect innocence in a political point of view. GERMANY. BERLIN, JULY 6. The Czar's manifesto to his subjects has reached our city. It is considered a very defiant document. Opinions differ as to whether it pretends war, but all parties agree that it signifies the firm intention of the Russian Autocrat to have his way. Some ask, But will the Czar dare to force his po licy against the public opinion of all Europe? Do not doubt it. If all Europe condemns, and yet has not the courage or the power to check him in his lawless course, will not his victory be the more sig nal? The explanations in your parliament upon the interpellations of Lord Clanricarde and Mr. Layard are looked forward to here with very great interest. GREECE. ATIItSS, JuLT 2. The Minister of the United States iasista that the judgment of the court which condemned 1)r. King, the missionary, for preaching against the Greek faith, shall be annulled, as contrary to the religious liberty promised in the const►tution. The govern ment has fired Dr. King from the effects of the sen t tenee, but persists in holding him guilty. The American minister was pressing his demand with an earnestness calculated to awaken apprehension. UERPRETATION OF THE UKASE. The short discussion which took place is the House of Lords on Thursday respecting the precise meaning of cer tain expressions employed in the Czar's ukase shows that a needless uncertainty has been imported into some versions of the document, an uncertainty which is not removed by the quasi correction volunteered by the tort of Clarendon. The parliamentary report states that Earl Fitzwilliam, pro ducing so much of the ukase as was published in the Times, read the following passages : " If, through stubbornness and blindness, it desired the contrary, then, calling God to our aid, wo shall leave him to decide between us, and, with a fu:l assurance in the arm of the Almighty, we shall go forth to 531st for the orthodox faith." This, continued the noble earl, ors a most extra ordinary document, and he was desirous of knowing whe ther her Majes:y's ministers had reason to believe it to be authentic or not? Upon which the Earl of Clarendon, Secretary for Foreign Affairs, said he believed there were one or two points c e which the translation had not been very accurate in the copy to which the noble earl had referred. The concluding words which he had read, "we will go forth to fight for the orthodox faith," he believed should be rendered, "we will go forth in defence of the orthodox faith." Id the version of the entire ukase, which appeared exclu sively in the Express of Wednesday, and which was made immediately from the Russian, the passage in question was thus rendered—" But if obstinacy and blindness will it otherwise, then, calling God to our aid, we leave it to him to decide oar quarrel, and, in full confidence in the right hand of the Almighty, we shall move forward on behalf of the orthodox faith." Thus, neither fighting nor defending is mentioned, and the blindness and obstinacy deprecated are not charged on Turkey, but (as in a similar passage in Count Nebselrode's note) for the self-appropriation of the Sultan's allies. In the Riga Gazette—en authorised Russian organ—of June 19 (July 1), we find an official German version, which vindicates most com pletely the exactitude of our rendering. In the Riga' Gazelle, the passage is thus given—" Wenn jedoch Stamina and Verblendung das Oegentheil wollen, so überlsasen Wu. Gott cum BM anrufend, Ihm die Entscherdung Unsexes Streites, vud werden mit volley Hoffnung auf deesen Allmicht ige Band vorw,irts dringen fur den Redd glanbegen Glauben." THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON'S YACHT. The Moniteur publishes the following description of the fittings-up of the imperial yacht Reins Hortense "On the deck of the vessel is a circular pavilion, the panels of which being glazed, allow a free view of every thing around, while light crimson silk curtains keep off .the rays of the son. At one side is a large circular divan, and opposite it a stand filled with the choicest flowers, from the midst of which stands out a magnificent candelabrum, iu order to light the room. The inside of this pavilion is painted white, with gilt border, and on the ceil ing are the imperial crown and initials In the centre a staircase, covered with carpet, and having the bannister ornamented with green velvet fringed with gold, leads to a corridor, on the right of which is the dining-room, which is wainscoted with maho gany, with gold mouldings. One panel, the height of the room, contains a looking glass, which reflects a handsome chimney-piece in green marble, ornamented with gilt bronzes. The room is covered with a rich carpet, and on the doors are portieres of green velvet, edged with gold fringe. The room is lighted by lustres and lamps : At the end of the corridor is the salon, which occupies all the after part of the vessel abaft the mizen-mast. Large sofas, covered with crimson twocatelle,fill the circular part, that in the centre being surmounted by the Imperial arms. The sides of the vessel are hung with csicason brocatelle in panels of mahogany, with gold mouldings; the doors aro hung with portieres, and the carpet is the same as that in the dining-room. At the after-part of the salon is a large stand filled with flowers, having all the appearance of a garden. The middle of the salon is occupied by a magnificent buhl table, over which is a lustre with boogies and Carrel lamps. Two mantel-pieces, covered with green silk velvet ornamented with gold, are placed on each side of the mizen mast, which projects into the salon. There is also a very handsome piano. By the side of the salon is the cabin of the Em peror, hung with brocatelle like the salon ; a bed hung with the same stands in an alcove, end opposite it is a com fortable divan. By the ride of it is a handsome wash-hand stand, which also serves as a writingsdesk, and close to it a Psyche glass. Adjoining the cabin is a bath-room, the door of which is made in one of the panels, and thus hidden from view. The cabins for the suite of the Emperor are dose to the bath - room, and, although small, arc fi tted up with every convenience." METROPOLITAN FREEITOLD LAND SOCIETY. — The fourth public ballot of this society was held on Thur.- day evening last, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate street. Mr. G. J. Phelps presided. The chairman com mented on the advantages of these societies, and stated that the estates purchased by this society at Barnes and Wim bledon, in Surrey, were highly approved of by the members. That at Wimbledon was now in their hands, and the sum of 201. premium bad been offered fur some of the plots, and even higher sums had been mentioned. Three-fuurths of the estate had already been chosen. Thi., be said, was very gratifying to the committee, and flatter ing to their judgment in the purchases they had made. The Barnes estate would be ready in a few weeks, and he was quite confident, from the feeling expressed by the imembers themselves, that there would sot be a plot left after the day of choice. Several gentlemen having ad dressed the meeting is explanation of the operations of the society, the proceedings terminated. A considerable num ber of Otani were taken during the day, sad at the meeting. VISIT OF RUSSIAN PRINCESSES TO ENGLAND. A correspondent says, the eldest daughter of the Czar is on the eve of visiting this country with her family. Her Majesty's government steamer Vivid, Captain Smithett, left Dover yesterday morning for Antwerp, to be in readiness to receive the Grand Duchess and convey her Imperial Highness and suite to England. Tho Grand Duchess Marie is the widow of the late Duke of Bench tenberg. Count \V ielhonki, second secretary of the Russian lega tion, has gone in the Vivid to Antwerp, to be in attendance upon the Grand Duchess, who will be accompanied by her ail children. His Ezcellency Baron Brunnow is to leave town fur Darer this morning, to be in readiness to receive the Grand Duchess on her arrival at that port. Her Impe rial Highness will proceed from Dover direct to Torquay, where a mansion has been taken for the season for the ac commodation of the Grand Duchess and her imperiel family. The Grand Duchess Catherine of Russia, daughter of the Grand Duke Michael, and mete of the Emperor, is also about to pay another visit to this country, in company with her Royal Consort, the Duke George of Mecklenburg Steclitz.

The Vivid, Captain Smithett, is under orders to proceed immediately after her arrival at Dover, with the Grand Duchess Marie, to Ostend, from which port the Grand Duchess Catherine and her Royal Consort, will embark for England. Count Blaudolff, Attache to the Russian Legation, pro ceeds to Ostend in the Vivid, to be in attendance upon the Grand Duchess. DEATH OF THE MARCHIONESS OF ANGLESEY. Wo are sorry to announce the demise of this lady, who expired yesterday morning, after a very brief illness from which dangerous results were not at all anticipated until a short time before her death. Her ladyship was out in her carriage on Saturday last, and only complained of slight indisposition on Sunday. From her general delicate state of health, no serious apprehensions were entertained even then. Dr. Inee, the family physician, saw her lady ship, however, and as she appeared to him to be somewhat more affected by illness than usual, on Tuesday Dr. Locock was called in. From the first he gave no hope, and her ladyship, gradually sinking since, expired at half-past 9 o'clock yesterday morning, in the presence of the veteran marquis and several of her children. The Queen sent to inquire after the marchioness this morning, at 10 o'clock, and the royal messenger conveyed back the tidings of her death. The Marquis of Landonderry, and many of the noble marquis's veteran colleagues, made inquiries after his lord ship, yesterday afternoon. The reply was, " His lordship is as well as can be expected." THE CAMP AT CMOBHAM. Thera will be a grand review this day on the field at Chobiam. The brigades will form at 11 a.m. in front of the centre of their respective encampments.

One company of each regiment, except the Scots Fusilier Guards and the 42d and 93rd Ilighlanders, wu despatched yester day afternoon on outpost duty. Each regiment was thrown out oppcsite its respective encampment.

The following notices of motion were entered yes terday on the books by guardians of the South Dub lin Union : ltcsolved,—That the said commissoners are unworthy of public confidence, and tho national Fystem of education cannot be considered a system of united education, and that, therefore, the schools of this union be removed from being in connexion with the said system of national edu cation, and in any way under the control of said commis sioners, and that a copy of this resolution bo forwarded to the said commissioners.

A public meeting in aid of the funds of this insti tution took place yesterday, at Willis's Room., King street, St. James's, Dr. Partin, President of the Royal Col lege of Physicians, in the chair. A report was read, which expressed regret that an institution which, offered such valuable advantages to the public had not been more exten sively supported. The hospital was established at Margate in the year 1790, for the relief of persona afflicted with scrofula, and the total number of persons who had received its benefits since that period was upwards of 23,000. The building was caoahle of accommodating 220 patients by night and by day, and the internal arrangements were of such a nature thut every attention, medical and otherwise, was secured to the inmates; but unfortunately the directors were under the necessity of charging the afflicted persona a weekly sum towards their board, without which help to the funds the hospital could not Le kept open. This was the more to be regretted, as, from the peculiar nature of the dis ease which the institution was intended to treat, the hospital was especially deserving of liberal support. It was highly desirable, therefore, that the hospital should be free from all charge to the inmates; but this could not be the case unless the funds were materially augmented. On the sth April, 1853, the amount of the funds was reduced to GOOL, and 1,4001. was required in addition to this sum to keep the hospital open, and to maintain it in full efficiency for six months. It appeared however that since the period named there had been new subscriptions and donations to a considerable amount ; but the directors were still com pelled to call public attention to the necessity of supporting the infirmary with a degree of liberality more commensurate with the claims of so useful a charitable institution.—The report was unanimously adopted, and the business ter minated, a regretlbeing expressed that Mr. Benjamin Bond Cabbell, who had promised to take the chair, was from some unexplained cause absent from the meeting. APOTHECARIES' HALL—Names of gentlemen who passed their examination in the science and practice of medicine, and received certificates to practise, on Thurs day, July 7, 1853 :—llenry Cooper Bose, Canterbury; John Henry Thomas, Llansamlet ; Peter Leigh Sadler, Warnington ; Jetties Syme, Cumberland; John Evans Bayard, Llengelan, South Wales ; Joseph Beauchamp Matthews, Osfordshire ; John Adams, Bolton.

SWINDLERS IN TIIE WEST.—Within the past week, several towns in the west have been visited by swindlers, who have sictimised respectable persons to some extent. At Dawlisb, in Devonshire, a well-dressed, middle-age man took lodgings at Mrs. Westcott's. Ile was " extremely nervous and lidgetty," and was extremely par ticular that the house should be secure. A friend of his lodged at Mrs. Spencer's and was of similar habits. One day the latter sent out and changed a ten-pound note, and on receiving the change went out to bathe. He never re turned to pay his lodgings, and shortly after ho had left the ten-pound note was found to be bad. The " fidgetty gentleman" at Mrs. Westcytt's also decamped, having changed several flush notes, and succeed' d in passing a good deal of counterfeit coin. At Taunton, in Somersetshire, a man, about thirty years of age, and of genteel appearance, took respectable lodgings at Mrs. Dyer's. Ile had not been there long before he tendered wh at appeared tobe a genuine ten-pound Bank of Eogluno note in payment for sour trifling articles, and received back change io gold and oily On Sunday morning he hired a horse and vehicle of landlord of the Swan, to go for a drive ; but he never re turned, and has not since been heard of. The note was found to be a bad one. CHARGE AGAINST A SURGEON.—On Thursday, Mr. Hadley, surgeon, of Newton Abbot, Devonshire, was I brought before the Teignmouth bench of magistrates in custody, charged with attempting to procure abortion on the body of Sarah Baker, living in the village of Luton. The young seaman was too ilito attend, and her statement, which bad been taken down in the presence of the superin tendent of police, was produced and read. She stated that on the 16th of June she went to the prisoner's house, when he performed an operation on her, which gave her excessive pain. She wtnt home, and was ill at intervals, until the 24th of June, when she was obliged to be assisted to bed by her mother. On the following Sunday she was confined, and in tho absence of her friends she wrapped the child in a cloth, and buried it in a dung-pit. She soon got better; but ou the Ist of July she was taken seriously ill, when another surgeon (Mr. Sullock) was sent for ; and he came and said she had given birth to a child, which she at first denied. The girl, in addl.:ion to this statement. said that about two years ago she was in the f amil y way, end , went to prisoner, who asked 'ner to allow him to " c ure her, " what but she refused. He said. if she had a child, it would be a stein upon her character through life. She sald. she did hot care for that, and persisted in her reluala. 1 ' he bench adjourned the inquiry for further p risoner until to-day ann. (Saturday), refusing to take bail for thes appear- SPORTING. LTEST BETTLNG AT MANCHESTER. FLL inAv.

Very considerable alarm was caused in Belfast, on Wednesday, by exaggerated rumours of the burning of the Roman catholic church of Lisburn, and of violence of a serious character having been offered to some clergymen of that creed Some colour was given to these rumours by the fact that Isle. Hill, S.I, Mr. Henderson, Head Constable, and a body of the constabulary stationed in Belfast, had been ordered down to Lisburn, at an early hour, on a re quisition of a magistrate, grounded upon the usual affirmations on oath of an apprehension of violence. A. reporter from this office proceeded to Lisburn, for the purpose of ascertaining the state of affairs; and, from kin researches in well-informed quarters, and from impartial sources, it appears that a certain amount of angry feeling has latterly been excited in Lisbutn, in. the minds of the Orangemen resident in the town, by rea son of the preaching of two Romon catholic missionaries, the Rev. Fathers Furlong and Vitas. On Friday last, the lot July—the Anti-Processions Act notwitbstanuiug— the Orangemen marched through the town, in very large numbers, accompanied with drums and fifes, and playing party tares and shouting, "To ll with the Pope and Father Furlong" with great fervour. The parties then lighted tar-barrels, and marked their animosity to various most respectable protestant", who, they were aware, con demned their proceedings, by pitching the lighted tar bar rels in the streets before their doors, Oa Saturday, it was stated generally throughout the town that, the priests had a narrow escape on leaving the church, where they had been engaged in the performance of their religious duties up to nearly twelve o'clock the night previous, for that the Orangemen had determined to stone them, and that they were only prevented from carrying their inten tions into effect by the fact that the watchman of the church, who had fortunately been apprised of the plot, and who had taken the precaution of asking some people to escort them, had thus rendered it difficult to diteern the object of the intended attack in the crowd by which they were accompanied to the patish priest's residence. i Rumours were also circulated that the church would be 1 horned down; and so far were these statements credited that some hundreds of people remained up in the grounds of the church all night in order to guard against, an at tack, should such be made. Nothing, however, occurred to excite alum, or to require the draw d aid. On yester day. it wax stated that the threats which had not been verified would be brought into effect. Intermations, having this tendency, were sworn; the Belfast constabulary, as already stated, were ordered down to preserve the peace; but it seemed in the end that the precautions taken were unnecessary, and that there really was nothing to be ap prehended. No attack of any kind was made ; the town up to a late hour wore its accustomed tranquil aspect ; and, from all that could be observed, there was nothing likely to interrupt the peaceable relations that prevailed. A re inforcement of constabulary front Beltast proceeded to Lis burn in the evening, and, it was said, were to remain there all night, as apprehensions were still entertained of an attack. Nearly all of the facts here stated had bean sworn to on oath ; but it is to he hored that the narrators have been influenced more by their fears than by the manifesta tions of intended violence that base taken place. Neither Orangemen nor any other body of men in Lisburn will, we trust, so far forget what it due to their own character for peaceableness and propriety of conduct, and to the repu tation of their town, as to be betrayed into any senseless = display of party feeling.— Belfast Nortlunt Whig. the LONDON FEMALE DORMITORY AND INDVsTRIAL Inset ITTlON.—Yesterday, a special meeting of the friends and supporters ot this institution was held in the Vestry room of St. Pancras ; the Rev. Canon Dile, M.A., Vicar of the parish, in the chair. The report stated the objects of the institution to be, the prey( ntion of crime, and the restoration of such as had fallen. In carrying out the first object, the members of the is had on several ma lions successfully successfully rescued unwary females from the nume rous agents at work to entrap them. Those thus rescued, at well as others reclaimed from a life of infamy and shame, had been provided with good situations. An institution so useful was deserving of all support, for there could be no greater mistake than to suppose that the majority of those who had fallen continued iu sin from choice. The follow ing facts proved this:—From May, 1850, to December, 1851. the institution, through want of funds, bad to refuse 432 applicants, and from January,lBs2, to December of the same year, it had to refuse no fewer than 884 of those dis posed to reform themselves. Upon the let ot January there had been in the institution 31 inmates, and from that date to the 30th of June last there had been 86 others admitted. Of these, 1 had got married, 4 had been restored to their friend., 1 had died in penitence; 24 had been sent - to ser vice, 13 had left of their own accord, en that 74 remained in the institutinu. The Rev. Messrs. Power, Oarbett, and C.,hen, Lieutenant Bleckmore, li N , Mr. J, P..yne, and. other gentlemen, addressed the meeting in advoc..cy of the charity, when the proceedings terminated Stith a vote of thanks to the chairman. 1I
