A crisis is, then, to all ap pearanee appruaching in the carets of Rosas ; which it will require mon• than his ordinary goad fortune to escape. A revolution seems to be run rounding him on all sides. On the other hand, it is remarked that Brazil, the only powerful military state unfriendly to him, is not, as yet, in hostilities against Itosas ; that the Brazilian government has no desire to e in volved in tlw continuation forming against him; that what it ilsillires is his abstinence from interposing between it and its just demands on Ouine. and the Banda on, nt:•I ; and that it will not submit to be controlled in the exercise of even, if necessary, its belligetent rights us an independent nation, by the improper and factitious influence Boats has aequired ni the (b.itattal State.

WE re.unie, from Monday's E.rpres,.. our review of Iri Aurioilturul 1 • flx pnigress of consolidation of farms throughout t all puns of Ireland still continues. although, to use the signitit-ant phrase of Captain I.xtecom, ^ with I abated hare: The power of resistance is dimi nislusl : perhaps the re ales. haste of dispossession I likewise begins to Hug.

But when famine and pestilence had loosened their rool,=. it became temptingly easy to pluck up the occupants of whol e vall e y s an d hill- s id es a t once, ' load rotten bouts with them, and shove them of from the western shore to take their chance of dying on board, or going to the bottom, or peradventure being thing out at the gate of Brother Jonathan's garden. The more heedless haste, however, in social changes, the aura: speed sometimes. If consolida• Bon had becuinv inevitable, it ought to have been undertaken cautiously, carried on edually, and conducted mereifully. There is a right and a wrong way —a Christian-like and a heathenish war—of doing almost everything. Putting wholly aside all political views, tics, or claims, there was, more- over, in the case of the small farmers whom the exteminating possessors of landed property in Ireland wished to get rid of, one plain and palpable obligation of humanity which ought to have pleaded fur their lives and the lives of their little ones, and, I ought not to have been heard to plead in vain. it was of this class—t* class of tenants ender twenty or thirty acres, on whose anxiety to hold small postions of land at any price, Mut the landlords listed I in spendthrift splendour fur generation:. ft was on the re-qsurer less tv c, s:ity of this daily deteriorating clams that absenteeism and prodigality fared sumptuously every day. In the slave states. when the crop fails, or contagious diseaseprostrates the human implements of landlords' gain—the latter do not fling the former from than in short-sighted and merciless haste. It is foreseen not to be prudent so to do; for the sake of human nature let us hope that feelings of remorse would not I also be wholly destitute of potency in checking the sudden decimation of the labOuring population. But I in Ireland, under the benignant rule of a landlord parliament, and a landlord administration, the history of the last three years, us now revealed by the census, the poor-law reports, and the tables of agricultural statistics, is one of unparalleled misery, uncurled cruelty, and unpardonable inefficiency of misery in the multitude, of cruelty in their lordly exterminators, and of inefficiency in those who are publicly respon sible fur allowing sockl tyranny to run 'Mt, to say nothing of aiding and abetting it. practices. In stead of new statutes to facilitate and stimulate indiscriminate eviction, instead of starvation schemes fur the practical abnegation of poor relief, instead of scornful neglect of adequate F4).A.e regulation's re specting the means of emigration, it was the obvious duty of, government to have sought by every means to * alleviate the sufferings connected with the rapid and perilous change in the agricultural system of Ireland, and to mitigate as far as possible the evils of a transition precipitated by calamities alike overwhelming and irresistible. But nothing of this kind was done or pretended to be done. The entire legislative and administrative policy of the lust three years has been founded on the opposite theory. It is now complete. Its " force," as Cap. taiu Lam ou incaution-1y characterise•s it, is nearly spent. Reaction is not unlikely soon to set in. Let us observe how and why. The decrease of agricultural holdings in 1417-8 was 71,137. The mania for dispossession still con tinuing, a further decrease was enforced in isis-a, of no less than -16,011 ; and even after two successive harvests of extirpation so abundant, the gleanings in 1419-50 an: set down at 22,923. The details of the lust-named sum may be succinctly given. In holdings varying from WIC to fifteen acres the decrease was 17,127; while in those above fifteen acres the diminution was but 9,l J. As these toge ther make up more than the net result above men tioned, we look to another column for un explanation oldie discrepancy. or is it diffieidt to find. Of the con-acre and abject (littler holdings there has manifestly been an increase. There were 3,337 holdings ninh r one erre more in I 840 than in Itil9; and what these holdings indi cate is very simply elucidated by the figures in the tables Of produce, which show that an enormously increased breadth of land was s.rwn in that year in potatoes beyond what was so cultivated in Isl 9. Captain I,sitcom appends the significant observation that the increase in the cultivation of Potatoes has been chiefly amongst the small holders. The natural constspienm of the wild injustice and infatuation of hired& consolidation and whole sale eviction is beginning to be felt. The class of Eirmets capable of tilling fifty or an hundred-acre farms is and must for a long time be limited in Ireland, and the class with sufficient capital to un• dertake the cultivation of 300 and 500 acre farms nut hardly be said to have any existence. The com petition on which high rents were founded has been bled almost to death. The exterminators have begun to get alarmed. Pasture don't pay. Now and then an English or Scotch farmer ollcrs to look at the hind, but he finds it out of coa lition, without knees or steadings, and a long way from gwal markets; lie mutters something that soands half like the old potato rust ; landlordism feels " utterly disgusted. - wonders where the poor fellows are now that used one way or other to make up a sum "that gentlemen could live upon," and thinks of falling back upon c-on-acre once more. FRANCE. PARIS, WEDS CADA tvExiNn. The greater part of the Ast auhly have already left Pat is. M. Unpin has gone to his country-seat in the Nievre, and .150 members have taken their passports. In a few days it is thought that not more than 190 mill remain. The Mountain manifesto has nut provoked very much comment. The .Isaembh'r, indeed, ulways ex travagant. treats it as a glaring piovocation to civil war. such as they would not have dared to have issued daring the Nrliumentary sittings, and one which almost imposes upon the Committee of Per m ounce the duty of convoking the Assembly imme diately. This is supremely ridiculous. There is not a wool in the manifesto tending to excite agitation, much has disturbance, between this and the meeting of the ,Veseinlay on the !Ith of November. The Mountain have everything to hair and nothing to gain by the slightest 4niptoin of a resort to physical force. Amordingle the whole scope of their police is to keep the twille quiet till the elections of I PC.SI. !They !where, (eat host :am to believe, that the re sult of a constitutional appeul to the hallia-box in L4_' will he to give them the victory, and, however they naght act hereafter, should the election go agumst them, they have no present thought but to stand the hazard of that die. Su long as their rally ing cry shall " Legality and constitution," it will be in vain to deny the strength of their posi tioll. TRW, the evnlstitutiun is but paper ; true, it is unpopular in the countly ; true, it has been condemned by an i m mense 'whs. mentary majority, but the constitution is the law. Without it there is nu law in France. And it wadi always be borne in mind that the very men who, in the Assembly, have most loudly called fur the reel siun the constitution,—have most eloquently de scribed its defects, its vices, and its dangers,—have, l in the Saint breath, and in still more energetic tunes, declared that if it cannot be legally revised it must above all things be respected. The entire sincerity of this deelanition may be reasonably questioned, and probably no party that could clearly sec a way to the establishment of its own domination would stand much upon legal scruples. Hut such is the division, confusion, mid uncertaiwy, that prevail among the multilariona enemies of the constitution, that no section of them can resolve to take the olfensive. Meanwhile, every party in turn falls back upon it as a &halm against every other aurbi• tion, and in this way the constitution has a factitious strength. The Moogager—a royalist paper—says to-day that legality is it eommon ground on which they must however meta parties the most opposed to them, however little they mac like their company. Protesting against the tone and certain details, the .1 1 fesospir sees nothing to object to in the substance of the Mountain mani festo. and readily adopts the expression, " the law pnslominating over all citizens." In fact, the mani festo discloses no feature in the policy of the Moun tain that was MA perfectly well known before, and this is the reason why . it has produced no excitement. As a composition. it is very inferior to the London proclamations of ladrultollin and Mazzini, being ex ceedingly wordy and dull. There is a suspension of hostilities, on one side at least, between the Union and the Opini , m Publiper. The latter declares that in the in- terest' of the legitimist party it will not reply to any further attacks. and that it will abstain from publishing any more of the letters of adhesion which it continues to receive. The schism. however. is more and more confirmed. The sections of legiti- , mists that follow the banner of the Ophaito: Publique is but a minority. but it comprises Larochejaquelin, Leo de Laborde, Boulder (de Tlieluse), and the most chivalrous and straightforward men of the party — men who delight to speak out of the abundance of their hearts, and who hate a Machinvelian They know that the revision will not be legally carried, and they think it a waste of their energies to occupy themselves in the attempt. They see that the re-election of Louis Napoleon, or of a socialist president. would be equally inimical to their hopes; and they think the only way of averting one or the other of those dangers is to fix upon a candidate who would at least leav e the principle of legitimacy in THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 14, 1851. stabs quo. It is not so easy to say what are the real motives for the course taken by M. Berryer and his followers. That they have any settled plan for the speedy restoration of Henry V. is not credible. It is scarcely less difficult to believe that they havo made .soy such intimate alliance with the Elisie as they siM charged with having dune by the republicans. They can • have only faint hopes—if. seriously, they can have any--!-of carrying the revision. They are men of trio much determination and perseverance to be‘aupprised to have abandoned their darling object of nn ultimate restoration and they must feel what M. Berryer so forcibly expressed, that Louis Napo leon, if once installed President by an unconstitutional election, would be a dictator. I believe that with re gard to 1f452, their own minds are entirely in a state of suspense, that they really meant what they said in the Rue de Itivoli,—that their policy might he summed up in the word " wait." They could afford to make advances to the Elysie in the composition of the Committee of Permanence, well knowing that I there was no danger of any coup (Taut during the I prorogation. They undertake a campaign in the departments in favour of revision, apparently to serve the Elysi:e, and they hope in return to have the in terest of government in the coming elections, so as to swell the numbers of legitimists in the next As - sembly by the aid of Bonapartist votes. In the meanwhile they think to increase their influence by obtaining places for their friends. They are nut sorry that it should be supposed by the Elyse that they would be resigned to a re-election, but they know that it will be at any time in their power to turn round and insist upon legality, a principle which they have not in words abandoned. In short, not seeing their way clear to any abiding city, their policy is confined to the best mode of picking up what crumbs they can by the way-side. The sic& to-day promises speedily, with entire disinterestedness, to designate a democratic candidate for the presidency. The use of the word " disinterest ' tdness" leads to the inference that it will not be Gen. Cavaignac. It was merely by inadvertence that the Sicete did nut publish the Mountain manifesto on the same day with the other democratic journals. The tire at the church of the Invalides yesterday destroyed fifteen flags and iujured many others. The old soldiers, who rejoiced in the si"ht of these trophies, many of which they had helped to conquer, were deeply affected at their loss. The full solemni ties of religious service could not be performed. An altar was hastily arranged in the vaults, and lighted by four modest candles only, where Dc PiVitudie was sung in the midst of smoke, and with water up to the ankles of the mourners. The scene was deeply affecting, the more so that the young Due the l'raslin was present. General Tihurce Sebastiani, Marshals Jerome Bonaparte, Excelmans, and Reille. The Minister of War,: and most of the general officers in Paris were among the mourners. It was only decided. after much discussion, that the military honours should not be postponed. The Publ .

Voirol, giving an account of an interview at the Elyse, on the sth inst., between the President of the Republic and General Voirol, who commanded at Strasbourg, in 1.36, and took energetic measures to put down the attempt of Louis Napoleon to overthrow the government. The writer says: " The Prince gave the general the kindest reception. and, taking his hand. said General, your conduct at Strasbourg was that of a man of honour.

THE TRIAL AT LYONS. SMTII DAY.-Atu. 11 The Court reasu;nbit4imSi;;ll6i. Some of the advocates of the accused having prementol themselves with out their robi.s, were refused admission by the gendarmerie; but the president gave positive orlon not only that they should be admitted, but that no refusal of the ►ike kind shall be made again. Gent complaint d that several of the journals, in publish ing the documents of the ease, kept back all that were fa vourable to the accused ; he also complained that he had bmw erroneously charged with having dissipated a fortune of 30,00 Mr. . . . The President said that the newspapers ought certainly to print the favourable as well as the unfavourable do cuments. The reading of the paprrn relative to Lotutomazino, lion vier, and Saute w.is eonelu•led. 'Plum couceruing Paul Maistre were neat read. Amongst th,Nli woo a circular setting forth in violent terms the "tyranny and oppression of the government and the monarchial parties," but ex horting the people to remain calm until the day of ven geance should arrive. In the papers respecting the ac cused Dein, which urre next read, was a letter from hint to M. Bovsset, representative of the people, compli menting him on his eloquent speeches, and other ex ertions on behalf of the democratic cause ; also a thpositioll of the captain of gendarmerie of Macon describing the arrival of several Montagnard repre sentatives in that town, and their having had meet ing with some of the leading demagogues; another of an hotel weepet of the same town, to the effect that Gent, the Montagnard representatives, and some of the demagogues had dined mad held deliberations in his house ; another, of the commissary of police of Macon, giving an account of a growl red republican and socialist conclave held in Novem ber. Them were likewise read several pipers which were seized in the house of Win ; amongst them were some songs, in wretched verse, but most violent language, exciting the people to rise in insurrection to avenge the injured Its. mans ; and a letter :rum M. Iloysset, recommending certain persons to the socialist chiefs as candidates iu the election for the department of the SaAne-et-Loire. The papers relative to Malleval, retitbon, Imbert (de ceased). Merle Cheeassus, Salabelle, and Chatpentier were next read. 'f hey showed the part which each of the accused had in the plot, but there was nothing of striking novelty in them ; neither did they give rise to any observations of the slightest importance by the accused or their advocates. the court then adjourned. It woo thought that in the course of the next sitting the reading of the documeate would be concluded. It beagle known in the course of the day that M. La grange, Procureur of the Republic, hail caused to be set at liberty two relatives a the ac vied, who hail been arrested a few days before, for having insulted him in the exercise lof his functions. A complaint having, however, been laid against them, they will have to be tried; but the Procureur has recommended the substitute charged with the prosecu tion to display great moderation. ITALY. [Front private correspondence of the firefie, a conserve five paper.] Letters from Italy of the Bth instant contain news of some importance. The journals have spoken of the discovery at Venice and Verona of a vast eon spiracy to assassinate the Emperor and to massacre ull the Austrian offivers. This is nut quite correct. A plot indeed does exist, and one not confined to Milan, but extending throughout Italy : Some papers seized on the person of a " Vetturtnn " who journeyed habitually between Rosie and Bologna atiinsk:d the first indication of the designs of the com as tors, and searches since made at Milan and pea mice have led to the complete discovery of their projects. It appears, according to their general plan, that the first democratic rising in Italy, if a rising there is to be, will originate in Sicily ; this explains the great preparations now making fur the defence of the island, which is armed and fortified in a formid able manner. One of our correspondents, usually well informed, has no doubt that, on the least symptom of an insurrection, the Austrian garrison of Ancona will cross the frontier of the Homan states and march towards the Abruzzi. At Milan the authorities are fully prepared. The garrison have received their orders, and the state of siege is sign rously enforced. A man on whom were found some certificates of Mazzincs loan, was immediately shot. ROME, Ara. 5. M. Cesari, one of the keepers of the archives of the Palace SLllviati, has been wounded by au assassin, but not dangerously. THE PENINSULAR MAIL. The Oriental Company's steam-packet Iberia, Cap tain Charles F. Burney, arrived at Southampton yesterday, and landed her mails, under the charge of lieut. James Inglis, RN., Admiralty agent. Her dates are :—Gibraltar, August 4th ; Cadiz, sth; Lis bon. 9th ; Vigo, 10th. The Portuguese news is no later than that pub lished yesterday. At Gibraltar there were above 409 natives of Oran performing quarantine (in small vessels) in the hay. They had fled from that pluec in consequence of the cholera being again in posses sion of the town and neighbourhood. The Iberia was unable to communicate with Oporto homeward bound in consequence of a dense fog, after waiting close off the bar for three hours. CONSTANTINOPLE, Jett' 15. The Turkish question has not been neglected in the conferences of Olmiitz, and in consequence of instructions issued from thence, Russian and Aus trian diplomacy began their campaign in Servia; fix this is Cie point to which the Russo-Austrian alliance has directed its activity, as it is the key stone of the integrity of the Ottoman empire. The aim is to disturb Servia, and to put her in opposition to the sovereign government. I can give s you some details of the action of Russia in these parts. It i s not loug since the semi-official paper of Belgrade published a violent article against the Ottoman government, to the great astonishment of the authorities. The Pasha of Belgrade grew angry, and had made by the competent authorities an in ; quiry into the origin of that article. The editor of the paper was summoned, and he avowed that the article was sent to him from the Russian consulate, accompanied by a handsome amount of money. Shortly before that one of the officers of Rudnik had been convicted of an attempt to excite a revolt in &ilia in the name of the Emperor of Russia. Ito was senteoced to imprisonment for twelve years, and escaped from prison to Wbldin just when the Rua- I sian consul at Adrianople was in that town, and • won the protection of the pasha for the culprit. who, in consequence, was not delivered up to the Servian authorities. The Russian embassy at Con stantinople took up the afftir, and whilst th'e Servian, Kayo Bahia, requests only that the dangerous con spirator should be removed from the frontier, the Russians desire a complete amnesty for him. Of course they feel great sympathy with the man, as it was in the name of the Russian Emperor that he hoisted the colours of revolt. At the end of June Russian intrigues created an unpleasant scene in the meeting of a literary society. Mr. Muni Bell, a government official, made there a lout; speech, inciting the Servians to throw off the shadow of Turkish sovereignty, and to call the other Sclavo nitn people of the empire to arms and independence. He was of course dismissed front office, but the repe tition of such scenes disturbs the principality. Soon after this had happened, the Russian consul of Bel grade, aceompanied by the renowned Wuehieh, pro ets.sled to Meliadia in Hungary, to meet there the Ex-Prince Michael Obrcnovich, the Russian consul of Adrianople, and the Austrian one of Widdin. These conferences are held on the frontiers of Turkey. not only fir the purpose of influencing Servia, but like wise Bosnia and Buhtaria. COLONIAL. AUSTRALIAN COLONIES. NEW SOrTII WALES. We are in receipt of files of Sydney papers from the 29th of March to the sth of April inclusive. The Legislative Council met on the 2stlt of March. At the opening of the session the governor in a short speech intimated that he had called the conned together to consider and enact measures for giving effect to the Australian Colonies Government Act of the Imperial legislature. Copies of the net and of a despatch from Earl Grey explaining the objects the government had in view in passing it, had been, his excellency stated. laid on the council table. Ile announced that he would tbrthwith transmit to the emoted the bills he deemed necessary to give effect to the act. Ile informed them that he availed him self of the presence of the late superintendent at Port Philip, now Lieutenant-Governor of Victoria, to obtain suggestions respecting the proper division of that colony. The address of the council in reply merely contained general protestations of loyalty; a declaration that they abstained at the moment from expressing any opinion Ott the provisions of the government act, and a promise to give the subjects mentioned by his excellency their must serious con side' ation. The council did not meet again till the 'lth of April. when an electoral bill was presented, read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time that day week. Mr. IVentworth gave notice that he would, on the ttth of April, move for a select com mittee to ercparo a remonstrance against the Austra lian Colonies Government Act. Mr. Donaldson gave notice of a motion to address the governor on the subject of land and emigration. An address to the g wernor was voted unanimously, praying him to place on the supplementary estimates a vote of 2,000/. fur an expedition in search of Dr. Iwiehltardt. Great elliwts were being made out of doors to get up an opposition to the Electoral Bill, and more par ticularly to its provisions for the division of the co luny into electoral districts. The opposition air pcared to come principally from the democratic party in Sydney, and to arise from an apprehension that the division proposed was too favourable to the stockholding i nterest. The delegates front Victoria nod Tasmania, to in vite the inhabitants of New South Wales to join the Anti-Transportation League, had arrived in Sydney. A grand banquet was given to them on the 3rd of April, nod on the 7th a great public nulling wad held. It was unanimously resolved that the Austra- lion Anti-Convict Associaiiun of Svdney should be dissolved, and that all its membissa should enrol themselves in the league. The sense of the meeting was unequivocally expressed in tin-our of agitating for an entire abailition of convict transportation to every part of Australasia. Mr. Lamb (a member of the legislative council), who moved the first resolu- tion, and Mr. Josephson, who seconded, each pro• raised a subscription of 11)0 guineas towards the ex penses of the league. The secretary also unaounccd sunseriptions of 100 guineas each from another gen tleman and from two mercantile firms. NEW ZEALAND. We have received Nelson papers to the 28th of April. The most important of their contents is a memorial Loin the mechanics and labourers at Nel son, sent out as emigrants by the late New Zealand Company, addressed-to the company, and claiming compensation for the treatment they have expe rienced and the delusive promises by which they allege they were induced to emigrate.

Association to carry out their co lonising operations, bad heroine due, and that the company hail no means of meeting them unless the govi rnment as sented to a bill proposed by the Canterbury committee to enable them to raise 100,0001. The government refused its assent to that measure, and various means were discussed for inducing the government to withdraw its opposition in consideration of certain sacrifices of capital which the New Zealand shareholders were willing to m eke. Fatting in this, the only alternative was a call upon the new shareholders, which, in the present po sition of the company's affairs, would act must prejudicially to their interests. The amount required to meet the debentures was about 26,000/., of which, how ever, a considerable portion would be provided fur, leaving in the end a deficit of about 10,000/. The chairman, iu answer to several questions, remarked that since the but meeting letters hail been addressed to her Majesty's go. rernmcnt and to the d irectord of Cie Canterbury Associa tion relative to the pecuniary condition of the company, but front neither of them, up to the present time, had answers been received. If any money could be collected, the direc tors would not snake a call upon the shareholders; but if l i they failed in their negotiations a call would be inevitable. Mr. Ilaringtua, the secretary, stated that there had been some laud sold, for which the company would have to re ceive money; but at present he could not inform the share holders with any degree of accuracy what would be the amount. In consequence of the unsatisfactory state of the company's negotiations it was deemed unadvisable to prose cute the inquiry further, and it was agreed that on a future day the subject should be more fully gone lute. It was stated that, in the event of a call being determined upon, the shareholders would be requested to append their names to a paper, expressing their willingness to meet it. The proceedings then terminated.

ROYAL SOUTH LONDON FLORICULTURAL s h ow: Yesterday, a grand flower show took place at the Surrey Zoological Gardens, under the superin tendence of the committee of the South London Flo rieuitural Soeiety, to commemorate the anniversary of the opening of their establishment. The exhibition corn , priced a large collection of dahlias, holyhoeks, fuchsias, Irises, and other flowers. many of which were hardly "in season" at the earlier floneultural Ike: which have been given at the.: gardens during the present summer. The show was in all respects' the best that has been seen on this side of the water, and there were many persons present who sisemsd strongly impressed with the opinion that the South London Society had established a fair rivalry be tween the more aristocratic t stablishments of the west end. Although the weather was not very propitious, the attendance was extremely numerous; and so attractive were the various specimens of floriculture that the wild animals and other interesting objects exhibited here were for a time alitto:t forgotten. Toward the close of the day, however, the flowers were removed front the tents erected for their exhibition, when the ordinary "lion," of the gardens received due attention from the company —the per torroances of M. Jolliest being as usual in the ascendant. The flowers were ranged in four tents. In the first were the displuy of fuchsias unit scree of the miscellaneous plants, in• eluding orchid:a' , and parasitic plants. Sane of time fuchsias presented Y very handsome growth of flowers. In the second tent were the Cape heaths. Some of these were of very gri at size—quite bushes, and covered with their beauti ful white or pink flowers. in the third tent were the re- Mauling miscellaneous plants—hoiyhocks, dahlias, cut ruses, and cut flowers of all descriptions; and in the fourth speci mens of seedling flowers and plants, honey, and fruit.

Among them WAS the Chinese water pitcher plant, which was very graceful. The other devices were tt flower bed laid out in verbena, gera nium, eideeolaria, &c., and a balloon composed of different flowers. Altogether the show woe a very fair one; the roses, of course, owing to the time of year, did not show to very great advantage, but the parasitic plant, were very good. ATTEMPTED MCItD►ER AND SUICIDE AT irswicit The inhabitants of this town were, on 'focally evening last, thrown into ranch alarm by a report that a young girl, 19 years of age, had been murdered by an old man with whom she had been cohabiting for some weeks pest. The , rumour relating to the death of the young wo although she war severely wounded, turned out to be untrue. The old man, however, inflicted a mortal wound upon himself, and died shortly alter. An inquest was held on view of the body of the deceased, James Wailing, before S. 11. Jackainan, gent., at the Feathers Inn, St. Matthews, when es Wince of some length was given touching the cause of deceased's death, and the attack upon Martha Moyse by him. The deceased, up to May last, was in her Majesty's ser vice, on hoard a man-of-war, about which time lie was dig eleirged with a pension of 9s. per week. It appears that he lad made up his mind, being nearly 60 years old, to spend the remainder of his days with a maiden sister, who lives in a house situate in Lade-lane in this town ; and be ac cordingly came to Ipswich for that purpose, bringing with him money amounting to MOM than GO/. Ile lived with his sister happily till within the past five or six weeks, during which time he has been acquainted with Murtha Moyne, of whom ho at length tweame so enamoured as to propose to her that she should live with him as wife. the unhappy creature accepted the offer, and she, up to Saturday 'light last, lit ed with the old man. On Tuesday, Wailing was noticed by his sister to drink some beer, and afterwards to empty a bottle of brandy, which contained more than a quarter of a pout; but he was by no means at all suffering from intoxication, our did he appear to be in the least excited Between four and five o cluck, he said to hi. sister, '• Do you go and tell Martha I wish to speak with her." The old woman went to a house a little way off, where Murtha Mope was, Will delivered the message. Both then went to the house, where Wailing was sitting in an arm chair. Ile looked very angry, and said to his sister, " Do you go out : I want Martha to atop with moo" The old lady did us requested, leav ing Mart ha with the old ni an. She, however, had not proceeded inure than four or five yards before She heard Martha screaming violently. Fearing that her brother was ill-treat ing her she hastily returned to her house, when she met Martha rushing out of tl:c doorway, her face and hands covered with blood. A struggle no Uoubt had taken place, fur Wailing was following his intended victim, and on his sister attempting to no into the house he struck her a blow on the bead, and in her attempting to parry it she received a cut on her finger from a sharp instrument. Ilis sister ran out fur protection, and he went back into the room, shutting the &wafter him. Martha Moyse iu the meantime was con veyed into a house close by. The tries of" murder" raised soon drew together a concourse of persons, but not one dared to enter the house. A butcher, named Trentor, more courageous than the rest, went up to the door and asked Wailing what he had born doing. Wailing made no reply, but closed the door. Trenter went again to the door, when Wailing said to him, " I have done her business, and I'll soon do mine." At the same time Wailing said this he was seen by Trenter to lift up both hands to his neck, which almost immediately after dropped down again close to his side. wailing then ran to the front door, with blood streaming from a wound he had inflicted in his throat, which was about eight inches in length, and bail severed the jugular vein and the carotid artery. A surgeon was soon in attendance, hut all human aid was of no avail, Wailing dying at eight o'clock the same night. The face of the wretched girl, Martha Moyse, was fright fully lacerated under the left jaw, but happily no vital part was touched. Iler hands, in defending herself from her assailant, were wounded in several places, one or two fingers being nearly cut off. The inquest was adjourned, in order that she might attend to give evidence, which it is expected she will be enabled to do in the course of four or five days. It was stated that Martha Moyer, after obtaining from the de ceased a large sum of money, had absented herself from his house, and that she had intended leaving Ipswich with another man. The deceased had, by some means or other, spent nearly all the money he had brought with him to Ipswich. HEREFORD AND SIIREWsIie HY RAILWAY. The worry arc proceeding actively between Shrewsbury and Ludlow, to which points the line is expected to be opened before the end of the year. LORD RANELAOII AND THE OFFICEIts OF• THE GREENWICH RAILWAY. THE CAN►. OF CARPENTEIL Ike charge preferred by Lord Itanelagh against the railway officers having * been concluded before Mr. Seeker at Greenwich yesterday, Mr. Clarkson hubmitted that it would be the height of injustice in a ease of such contradictory evidence to a ., nn with the liarge against Carpenter, who wax a witness of great irnportauce in the case whith was to be heard nett week at the Central Criminal Court. Mr. Ballantine said that he apptarci in supts.rt of the information against Carpenter, which hid been laid under the direction of the police authorities, with a view of last , r taining whether the position in which Cargent :r had p 1 .e 4 himself in this transaction was one which Wale compatilile with his duty as a guardian of the public peace. 11 , 7 saw no reason why that inquiry should nut he game into He was not asking the court to decide on the truth or otherwise of his testimony. Wh a t lie asked the wart to ray was, whether be hail not been goil.y or a II 14r cot breach and neglect of duty in telling Mr. Itowand, who had dune nothing at all, and who had nut be. n chargvd with daing anything, that if he did ant go up be the neat train he would take him into custody; and also in turning round and charging Mr. Itowand at the police station se he said that he would give evidence on behalf of 1..rl ltauelagh. If these facts were proved, ho thought the m a . gistrate would lone little difficulty in &siding upon the case, lie understood that the entry against Mr. Iteiw,nd in the charge-sheet was und-rlind, which showed that it was an afterthought. (Mr. Mallatieu 'that was hot Ile (Mr. Ihillantini.) understood that the feet was hat, liow s ectr, the chnigt; wit.; one over which the ina,siti .1:e hid direct and immediate juiistliition: The following a -mitoses were then called: Michael llowand eaumined —I live in Glasgow. I reside at prewnt with Lord Aim:high. I went down with him to Greens% ich on Sunday, the 3rd. I saw what took ;dim at the station. 1 saw Lord Itanchigh seized by the porter, nvl then by frier; they used him in the rou.ditot mauve r. Lori! ll:mclagh did not strike either. I saw Cane:titer come up; he said, " I am a constable or policeman in plant clothes." Lord Itanclagh woo betwe..a the porter and Price at the time. Carpenter took hold of hint by the collar, and the porter let go his hold. Lord Ranclagh was draggsol away in a most violent manner. Carpenter did not let go Ins hold all the time. 1 remonstrated with the policeman, and mid " You are using that gentleman in an improper and most unwarrantable mariner." I did not strike any of them; such a thing never entered into my brad. Lord Itainelagh did not strike either of them. We went to the police station. Carpenter sail that I hail no business there, and that if I did not go by the next train he would take me into custody. I said that whatever the consequences were to Le I would follow my friend. We arrived at the station, and Carpenter preferred the charge against Loc.! Iltutelagli. It was not Price who made the Alarm. against him. I said I would take precious teal care to make the constable suffer, as I was a witnessed' the whole affair; then Carpenter turned ronuil and said " This gent's name must alto be entered for an as-cult ;" nut a word was said before about entering on assault against me. I was thunderstruck at the observation. Carpenter said to Lord Itanelagli that the thing could be easily trifled at the station. Clarksou—Camtuter did not point to Price as the peratin chargind. Lord Alfred Churchill' :md Colonel H•llouoll were present. There woo al.. the person who too:: the char e, .and eeveral other conidahlia present. Did not we Iriddows there.

Mr. Itowand made SI remark, upon which Cargewer said, " You can't be is witness, fur I have to charge you with interrupting me in the discharge of my duty." The charge book woo then underlined. It appeared that flute W. 14 no underlini Al'llouall wit that touch wu, hie opinio. time. a the chi, - Lord Renelagh examined-1 did not see Mr. Rosana strike Carpenter. Several of toy friends reouoi.strab d with him. It was Carpenter, and Ind Prim, who gave toe in charge. Mr. Itowand I was :I witness of the transae thm, and 1 will come furward against you as a witnesi." Carpenter turned round and said You e tdo that. for I have to charge von with obstructing me in the execution of my duty." The charge was fully entered amuinst mo before the charge was made against Mr. Rowans'. Carpenter said on the way to the 'IMO -II that this would be a case of gentlemen who had their names entered in the books and nu more was made of it. This having closed All, coAe against Carpenter, Mr. Clarkson raid that it appeared to him that all the charge that was madeugaiuNt Carpenter wu•, that he >aid to Mr. nowand, whilst conveying Lord Itauehigh to the %Lona', " You had bitter go away ; this is no busais4 of yours ;" whilst his learned friend construed into a violation Mills duty. But in erder to shoo; that there was an intentional violation of duty, it was said that it WaA Carpenter and not l'rico who made the charge befora 'refit* inspector Weide, and that Mr. ►tuwand was not charged at all till he said that ho would appear as a wane.. for Lunt Itanelagli. Now it had already bean given in evidence that Prim was the mrsou who made the charge. Mr. Inspector . 3 • laheu was then called, and gate cvi deuce as to the practice of taking eliarges. Ile did not think it would have been contrary to Carpenter's duty to have mad- the charge himself, he having us hr stated seen blows struck. In reference to the statement of Mr. Malan tine, he wished to sny the police authorities had not directed a prosecution in this case ; they simply directed him to pro duce Carpenter, to answer any charge that might by made against him. "The evidence of Price, Weak, and Crouches, was then read over, and such of Ouse witnesses was crosissenantined by Mr. Batbusboy ; but nothing WWI elicited which null [vita to explain the flat contradiction between the testimony ou both sides. _Mr. Seeker said that this was a case in which he should be 111024 klit,6olls if possible to obtain Mather information than was addueed that day. The present charge teas one seriously affecting the conduct of a public officer, and as it was desirable to put an end to the trritation to w:oich the transaction hail given rise, he should nut hesitate to give lois opinion on the qnestion as it stood before hint. This was it charge of misconduct and breach of duty, which consisted of three articles. First, had Carpenter a right to interfere at all ; secmully, had he IIlis• conducted himself whilst taking Lord Itaneht.th to the station ; :Intl thirdly, did he make the charge against Mr. Itowand because he Witt he would be a witness in the ease' Now it was satisfactory to, him at least that he could an ice at a conclusion in this matter without in the least deciding between the contradictory evidence which had been adduced on booth sides. With regard to, the first point, the pollee constable was himself at the railway station on other busi ness •he saw a conflict g gon between two persons, one of whom wit, armed with the authority of the law, and the other a private individual , and he chose to iaterWrc fur the purpoye of preventing a breach of the peace. Ile thought the officer was warranted in such interference. Then with respect to the mole of interference, and the question of unnecessary violence, the evidence on this point was of a very contr.:Aviary nature : but it was to be borne in mind that these gentlemen were under considerable,and that the officer was under no excite ment. It seemed to hint, therefore, that he was not going beyond what a fair interpretation of the circum stances would warrant in saying that these gentlemen were mistaken in supposing that the character of the inter ference was as Indent 114 it might seem to them to be. It seemed to him, therefore, that t h e ottiver was nut subject to blame either for his interference or the mode of his inter ference. Then, with respect to the complaint of his con duct at the police-station, that seemed to hint to he answered by the explanation of the officer on duty. There could be no doubt that these gentlemen did hear that which they stated they had heard—namely, that Carpenter ap peared to put himself forward as the person who gave them in charge. Carpenter might have intro duced the charge to the notice of the proper oftener, and might have pointed out the persons charged, and ticks these gentlemen might have fallen into a mistake; but un less the witnesses ou the other side at the station-house deliberately perjured themselves, he must believe that Price, anti not Carpenter, distinctly charged both gentle men with the commission of the offence, whether rightly or otherwise did not at all enter into the consideration of the question immediately before him; it would be for an other tribunal to decide that. With regard to the observa- tion of Carpenter, ouMr, Rewand =raring he witnes,ed the transaction, it set toed to him to he unnecessary ; but it did not appear to him to give a malicious or offensive character to his interference. On the whole, therefOre, it seemed to him that Carpenter must be absolved front this charge. Carpenter thanked his worship for the kind and impartial manner in which he dealt with the ease. Lord Itanelagh wished to know whether, as he was de termined to go on with this matter, though at great p; r.• inconvenience, he could get a summons against Carp or r. Ile wished to have him included in the indictment. Mr. Seeker said that would not be neces.sary ; when tit ,, case went before the grand jury he could be included. The parties then left the court.
