Among the witbeases examined to-day were the (.a0•. log Robert Elsor (householder and barber) voted fur Berm. ridge and Fraser, end afterwards got CI. Signed the peti tion for the appointment of the commission. (Laughter.) MI that under a mistrke, as Mr. Kingson told him it was to pa: • atop to bribery at municipal election., and witness, who was busy, did not mind that—had no time to look at it. (I:milkier.) Shaved a good many electors on the de, of election, and also shaved Mr. Bremridge. Did not gee more than usual. Mr. Bremridge only gave him Gil. Wit mil thought it ought to have been Is. for a member of p.a.. liamt ut. (Laughter.) Would not have sigr,«l the petition it be had known it was intended to put an end to bribery at porliameatary elections, as he thought that gentlemen who PPM down to stead ought to spend money, and it did the town good. (Laughter.) William Jewell, carver mid gilder and householder, voted for Bremridge and Fraser, and afterwards got elf 10. 1k fun that election witness had always supported t h e liberal petty from Ilse time of the Reform ill. In the mayoralty of Mr. It Bremridge witnias cleaned the pictures round the hall (portraits of the mayors of Barnstaple), *.:9 ii aun,l,•r, for 21. A short time since the pictures wanted c l es n.,.d *gain, and the council, in which the ore , dominated, gave the job to a stranzer, who charm it 101 Witness tbought he ought to have had the job, and ther, - fore resolved not to vote for the liberals again. (Laughter.) J.it.n Parkin, freeman and musician, applied to Mr. Fetter before the electioa, to know if he would be wanted in the band Mr. Patter said he would not, but it woad be all right; by which witaeee understood that he would be paid the 1400 whether he played in the band or not. Voted for Bremridge and Fraser, sod got 61. Benjamin freeman, vat- d for Bremridge and Fraser, and got 9/. Also received 26!. additi tial to divide amongst Ms father, uncle, and two brothers, and swathes elector, for th, ir votes in the same interest. A witness named Ville, who aci,eowlcilgel the receipt of • bribe, bearing his name pronounced " Vile," insisted that it was " and a facetious eonvenation which thereupon SION ended in a suggis;ion that the Guildhall, after the Janes of perjury witnessed there, would be appro priately christened the " Hotel de Vil(I)e." John IttStilir, freeman, voted fir Eb r ingtnn an d D na _ ridge, and got di. some time after from Bremridge's party. Did root, however, vote for Bremridge because of the 31., but because Mr. Bremridge told him that Lord Derhy and his party had given up all idea of restoring the core laws. Witness was a free trader, and voted for Mr. Bremridge solely on that acoesnt. Mr. C. E. Palmer. solicitor, was agent for Mr. Hodgson at the election r.f 184 T There was an arrangement between the candidates that there should be no espenditute but that which was strictly legal. Wanes., however, believed that some sealous friends of the liberal candidate had spent money on that occasion, without Mr. Forteseue's know ledge. Witness had no proof of anything of the kind, but toweled hi. opinion upon the fact that although he ealcu land upon a majarity of Shy for Mr. Hodgson, after de ducting doubtful promises, Mr. Hodgson was at the bottom of the pull. A petition was thought of at the time, but abandoned because witness could obtain no informatin. _ _ the Chief Commissioner-1u that case it is useless to go further into the inquiry iuto that election. All the evi dence hitherto received with regard to 1817 has shown that it wise pure election. Some further conversation took place upon this point, but nothing in support of Jar. Palmer's supposition was elicited. . . ..... About forty electors baring admitted being paid 61. after •oting for Fraser and Bremridge, the inquiry wuadjourned till Friday. MUSIC. GLOUCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL. (num 0171{ 11.11.011111.) GLOUCESTER, FRIDAY. The awned performances in connexion with the Festival of the three choirs " for 1853 were brought to a close this afternoon by one of the most brilliant gatherings at the Cathedral to listen to the divine strains of Winders Messiah that any previous festival within the century and a half of its existence has witnessed. The success of the Meeting is beyond doubt, and it is expected that the stew- ards will be relieved of all pecaniary responsibility. All the reserved tickets were sold early in the week ; and to order to provide fur the extraordinary influx of strangers, a supplemental issue of tickets for portions of the sacred edi fice sorer before used on inch occasions had to be issued. et new feature la the arrangement of this festival is the holding.( full cathedral service each morning (Tuesday excepted) at eight o'clock. la these services all the mem bers of the cathedral choirs have waived, and the effect was exceedingly fine. All the early morning services were well attended, the choir of the cathedral being filled each day. Collections were made also at these services for the benefit of the charity for the relief of the widows and orphans of clergymen of the three dioceses, and the sums thus raised base contributed to swell the receipts in behalf of this noble institution. It The result of the festival is most gratifying. The num ber of persons who attended the cathedral this morning was about 3,000, and such was the demand for tickets to-day that some hundreds of tickets beyond the number originally intended to be issued were sold. These were accommo dated around the base of the orchntra and in the and lastly in the choir out of sight of the orchestra, but neverthelesa by no means the worst position for hearing in the sacred building. The collection yesterday on behalf Otitis aunty amounted to 1761. 14a. Id., the whole collec tion on behalf of the charity being MI. 14e., including to day's collection. To-day's collection was 2661. Oa. 3d. Thu. ars many more donations yet to come in. ',cryptic! ROBBILIti.—A circumstance has arc toured during the past week, against a repetition of which we deem it our duty to guard the public. Two young fellows, attired in the first style, went into the house of Mrs. Davies, a respectable shopkeeper, In Creerstreet, on Tues. day oftentimes, and stated to her that a wager of 501. had been laid, at one of the principal inns of the town, spun their production of one hundred shillings, each bearing a facsimile of the Queen, in the spier of half an hour. They were willing to make any sacrifice to obtain them, net snarly for the wager itself, for they made it appear that money to them was of no account, but merely for the honour of winning it. They also made several inquiries as to the welfare of Mrs. Davits and family, end said they were on very intimate terms with her son, Mr. Sion Turner, who, they stated, bed mown them for several years, end by whom they bad bean sent there. Mrs. Milt', believing them statements to be come% went immediately for her cash box, in which there was a quantity of silver, and also a numb. r of sovereigns. The three then sat down, and made a close inspection of the stilliogs, setting those ou one side that bore the impren of the Queen's head. When this had been done, and the number of shillings counted, the men pro dated a quantity of gold, and paid for them, expressing Unit warmest thanks to Mrs. Davies for supplying them with the valued stiellinga, and protesting that she should receive a premium upon them. The men having taken their leave in the most courteous m reiterating their thanks for her kindacas, Mn. Davies proceeded to plate the cult box in its usual place of keepin:, previous to which, however, she thought at advisable to count over its contents. On doing this, as might have been ezpected, six sovereigns were found to have been stolen. She knew that they were in the box before she had expelled it, fur she had only that morning added an additional sum, when she had counthel the ithule. She immediately informed her son of the treas. action, who knew nothing of the persons described. Information was then conveyed to the police, with a de strintion of the thieves, but no clue has yet been obtained to their discovery.—D erby Reporter. SUICIDE OP A NI illte/lANT.—On Wednesday after noon at 2 o'clock, Mr. Robert Lloyd, a merchant, residing at 204, Soon rset.itreet, l'ortniamiquare, committed suicide, under the following circumstances :—lt appears that at the time loused the deceased, who has lately not been right in his mind, went to a water-clout on the first fluor.

Yesterday the half-yearly general meeting of the shasehnlders of this company took place at the Bridge- house Hotel, London-bridge. The meeting was also sum moned specially for authorising the trawler by the South Eastern and Continental Steam Packet Company of their vessels, furniture, tackle, and other effects, to the South Eastern Railway Company, under the provisions of " the South Eastern Railwoy (Canterbury and Whitstable and Steam Packet) Act, 1853;" also for authorising contracts and ge ments between the two companies for such transfer; also fur determining as to the consideration ac cording to the provisions of the said act fur such transfer ; and also for authorising the B nod of Directors, from time to time, to do all such things as they think expedient fur giving full effect to the res dutions of the meeting. The CHAINMAN (Mr. James McGregor, M.l'.), read the following report: "The accounts of the South Eastern and Continental Strata Packet Company now submitted to the proprietor., show the gross earnings of tho half-year ending 31st July Ilast, to have been 20,1521 lb. 6.1.

This sum, with the balance brought from tee previous half- year's aceJunt (1,1361. 2s. 2d ), places 6,1011. 18.. at the disposal of the pr..prietors, which would allow of a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, and leaves balance of 3,2401 6.. The directors, however, strongly urge upon the proprietors the expediency of adopting toe recommendations contrasted in the report of the directors pr served at th i I..st general meeting of this company, held on the 19th of March, and which were approve.' at the spe.ial meeting of this com pany held on 21st June, which were yesterday adopted at the special general meeting of the proprie tors of the Soutt Eastern Railway : —That the sum of 99,4064, being the velustios made on the 6th December, 1852, by the surveyors appointed by the committee of Lloyds'. of the eight steam ships belonging to South Eastern and Continental Steam Packet Company, via., Toe Prineeas Mary, Prows Maude, Queen of the Belgians, Queen of tile French, .Prince Ernest, Princess Clementine, Princess 'feline, and Lord Warden, be the price at w Lich the steam ships and other pr perty included in the report and valuation be taken over from the South Eastern and Continental Steam Packet Company. That, to facilitate the settlement between the two companies, the working of the steamships tram the Ist August, 1852, to the 31st January, 18.33, shall be considered to be on account of the Steam Packet Company, and that the sum of 99,4061., and the amount of the valuation of the plant and stores on shore on the 31st January, 1853, shell bear interest at the rate of 4 per cent., from the Ist of February, 1853, until the 4th day of November next.

The settlement on the terms proposed wiil enable the proprietors to receive in cash, or in the bonds of the South Eastern Company, somewhat above 121. for each share in the South Eastern and Continental Steam Packet Company." The HUN. GENTLEMAN, in moving that this report he adopted, observed that its subject matter had been so fully brought under the notice of the proprietors at the general meeting in March and the special meeting in June that it was unnecessary for him to add anything to the recom mendations it contained. It was certain that the directors had been enabled to carry through the operations of the two companies —the railway company and the steam-packet company—in their r. letion. as they had hitherto existed only in consequence of the confidence reposed in them by the proprietors; and as every transaction between the two companies required some arbitrament to be exercised in dividing fairly between them the profit gained, it was im possible that without that unanimous confidence, which he felt proud to say the directors had up to the present time enjoyed, their duties could have been satisfactorily per formed. lie had only further to observe that, as one of their co-proprietors end as one of the founders of the steam packet company he ventured humbly to reiterate the re commendations coutained in the report of the lest general meeting. The resolution adapting the report having been seconded by one of the other directors was put and carried unani mously. A resolution authorising the payment of the proposed dividend, and others confirming the sale of the vessels and stores to the railway company on the terms proposed were then passed, and the chairman having announced in reply to questions put by a proprietor that it would be necessary to hold a special meeting before the 4th of November to dissolve the company, and that the sum to be paid by the railway company would rive about 104 a share to these proprietors who might prefer to take cub—the usual vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the meeting terminated. TIIE EXPRESS. SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1853. THE LATE SIR C. J. NAPIER. The letter of condolence from the Masons of Ports • mouth to the lady of the late Lieut.-General Sir C. J. Napier, 0.C.8 , on the death of that distinguished man and beloved brother of the Order, appeared in the Express of Frid iy, the 9th instant; and, in reply to it, the following letter was read at a meetiug of one of the Lodges of that teen on Thursday night last :—" Oaklands, Sep tember 8, 18.:03 —Gantlemen.— the widow of the late Sir C. Napier in unable, from the weight of affliction, to do more than return, through me, her grateful thanks for the address of condolence you have presented on her bereave ment. The sympathy of friends is always assuaging to grief, but when that sympathy comes with such public testimony to the worth of the lost object, it is as alleviating as human feeling under such a blow can be sensible ut. Gentlemen, to lady Napier's thanks permit me to add an ex pression of grateful sentiments for all the family of one whom you have described as a virtuous and great man.—l have the honour to be, gentlemen, your obedient servant, W. Narna, Lieutensiit-General.—To R. W. Ford, It. G. F. Smith, and J. U. Owen, Ens., and the Brethren of the limning Lodges of the Borough of Portsmouth." CIIOLEHA AT IlArnErooL.—An inquest was held at the Wore Inn, Hartlepool, on the 13th instant, before John Settle, Esq., coroner, on the body of John Stanch. Elisabeth Stanch said deceased was her father. He died at twelve o'clock that day. His age was forty-one years. He was a coal trimmer. He was taken unwell on Friday last, while he was at work in a vessel, and came home about nine o'clock at night. He was a healthy man up to that time. Ile was purged, and on Monday morning he began to vomit. About four o'clock in the morning she went for Mr. Lillo, the surgeon. lie sent something, and her father was better for it up to eleven o'clock on Monday night. lie was taken worse at two o'clock that morniug, and continued so till he died.—Thomas Lille, surgeon, said he had been called to at:end deceased at a time when he was at an acconchement, at five o'clock on Monday, and sent seine medicine, and afterwards saw him at nine o'clock on that morning. Ho found him suffering from cholera, such as he had seen in the town. He was purged, and he vomited, and in a state of great debility. He frequently sighed deeply, but his voice and his eyes were very much sunk He got worse every hour. He saw him several times during the day,and the symptoms abated. He applied the best remedies he could. On being called that morning, between three and four o'clock, he saw he was rapidly going into collapse. He was cold, his hands and nails were going dark, and he was dying. At nine o'clock he was cold, restless, and in sensible; he died at twelve o'clock. lie had paid great attention to him. His stools were of the rice-water kind; he had been cramped, but not so much as he had seen in other cues.—By a Juror: He considered it • case of epi demic cholera, such as he had seen on board ships. He did not know why it should be called Asiatic cholera, except that it first came across from Asia. It was that species of epidemic that had visited this country before, and was the only case of the kind he had seen in the town. He bail had fifty cases of endemic cholera, and they had all recovered. He considered epidemic cholera to be an atmospheric dis ease.—By the Coroner. Ile did not think the dirty state of the neighbourhood where deceased died had anything to do with his death. The disease was what was called Asiatic cholera; he did not think it was contagious. The case tied appearances of the body satisfied him it was epidemic cho lera; he had no doubt whatever of it ; ho had suffered list pain than was usual in cases of cholera, but he considered that bad resulted from congestion of the lungs and of the brain. He did nut wioh to be an alarmist, but be wee giving his evidence on oath, and stated distinctly that death re sulted from Asiatic chulera.—A juryman said he did not wonder the man died; there was a large midden heap just under the sleeping-room window ; and during the last viaibitiun of cholera, a went had died in the solos house. Verdict, " Died of epidemic cholera."—Swideriond Herald. WESTEUX RAILwAY or FRANCE.—Traffic fur the we: k ending Sept. 11, 18i3, 7,0301. Corresponding week, 1832, 4,724 t -A.* - HORRIBLE CASES OF W/FE•BEATING. Yesterday two of the most shocking instances of this prevailing crime that have hitherto been made public were investigated at our police -courts. At the Southwark court, Dela Murphy, a man of Her culean frame, was placed at t..e bar, charged with assault ing Ellen, his wife. The pour woman had been foui.d in sensible, immediately after the infliction of the injury, by the polioe. She appeared in court, but se ill that she could hardly give her evidence. Ellen Murphy said that her husband, wbo was in the habit of illusing her, came home at 12 o'clock at noon drunk, and she got under the bed to get out of the way of his violence. lie did notuotsue tier, but he took the things off the mantel-shell and carried them away. He returned two or three times in the course of the day, and each time she hid herself under the bed, to get away from him. At see, n a'clock in the evening she was under the bed w:ien he entered the room and laid himself on the bed. She un fortunately coughed, and be heard her and called out, Who are you, and why don't you speak 1" She called out, " Spare my lie, and let me go." He then jumped off the bed and seised h o ld o f me by t h e h a i r of my teed, and pulled me from under the bed and ferociously ditztated me. Mr. Col:she—Whit did he do then ? Complainant—He jumped on me, and kicked me, until I wes insensible. Only six weeks ago I ass delivered of a still. ben n child, and that wea through his ill-usage. The poor woman was in such a week state that she was allowed to leave the witness box, and Mr. Combs asked the prisoner what be had to say for soaking such a brutal at ac: on his wife. The priwner, in a sullen manner, said that she 'baud him, and said she would do far bun, and he certeinly did give her a slap, out not so much as she had stated. In answer to the magistrate, police-constable 138 M said that there wean person in tee !muse at the time, and he was called by a neighbour who saw the prisousr run out, and who discovered his wife lying insensible on the floor. Mr. Combe &skid whether there was say danger? The officer rep Fed that the surgeon had certified that she was very bad. She had bruisep all over her body. The wife was recalled, and, in answer to the magistrate, she said she was a very sober woman, and acted honestly towards her husband. Her body was completely covered with bruises. She was under the bed more than five hours. The prisoner, who could make no defence to the chair, was email& d for a week, to sac 'n the extent of the in juries he had inflicted on her. The prisoner, who seemed to think very little about it, was then removed by the i r soler. At the Westminster Police-court, Edward Leach, a powerful, determiued.looking fellow, was charged with • similar offence. Complainant, whose right eye prisented a most shocking appearance from the ellect of recent violence, and whose face and neck were covered with severe contusions, stated that the defendant was her husband. She bad been mar. vied to him only two years, and it was his daily habit to ill treat her. He never cause home in the evening without doing so. After she had gut his breakfast that (yesterday) morning, he asked her to give him sizpence ; when she re plied that she bad not got so much. Upon which he de clared, with a fearful oath, that he would kick her brains in, and commenced beating her about the head. Mr. Broderip—Did he disticure your face in that way ? Complainant—He did that, sir, the night before last, and bit me. Mr. Broderip—Bit you, did you any ? Complainant—Yes, he seises me by the hair, and bites me allover my body. Daenuant On a brutish tone)-.." Don't tell lies." Mr. Brodenp—Don't interrupt the proceedings. You will be heard in your turn. Complainant-1 am covered with marks all over my body—(bursting into tears). I entreated him this morning' not to beat me again, u I was so bad from hie previous ill usage. Elizabeth Anderson, of 6, Queen's-place, Peter-stract, said, that bearing screams of "murder" from the com plain& .t, she went to their room. Observing her condition as ahu got away from him, she told him that he ought to know better than to beat a woman like that, upon which he replied that if he could get at her he would kill her. Witness said, "ain't you satisfied with the face you have , given her ?" when he declared he was net, but would give it her worse when he got hold of her. Witness took the poor woman, whose body was covered with bruises, down stairs, to protect her from further violence. James Saunders, 192 B, said that he was called on the previous night and told that the woman had been most cruelly beaten by her husband. When he took defendant in charge he said to his wife, " You if you come here kick your liver out." Defendant, in reply to the charge, denied that he bad struck her that morning, end said he asked her 60 times for a shilling. She got drunk and squandered his means. The wituess Anderson was recalled, and declared that the complainant was a sober, quiet woman, always attending to her home. ----• Mr. Brodcrip sentenced defendant to six months' hard labour. THE FATAL ACCIDENT AT CLARBOROUGH TUNNEL. On Thursday afternoon an inquest was held at the Odd Fellow.' Aras hes, near the Rctford station of the Mahchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, on the body of the late Mr. H. E. Strickland, whose melancholy death, wl,ilst making some geological investigations near the Clarborough tunnel of the above line was described in our impression yesterday. The ju'y were taken by special train to view the place where the accident occurred. David Mitchell, goods clerk at the ltetford station, de ' posed as fa.llows—l was on the platform of the Itetford station yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon, at about 8 o'clock, when the deceased came up to me and asked permission to ' go down the line to inspect the Clarborough tunnel, staling that he was connected with the British Association, and was travelling for scientific purposes. I told him that Mr. Carr, the station-master, was not at home, and that I could not permit him to de so. He repeatedly pressed fur permission, but I told him I could not give it as it was contrary te the company's orders. He then asked me to gave him a note to go by the road, and inquired the way, Ultimately I accompanied him as far as the hop-gardens and then pointed out the way to Clarborough by the canal side. We then shook hands and parted, and I did not see him spin alive. He requested his luggage might be for warded to Gainsborongh. The witness identified the body as that of Mr. Strickland. _ _ _ Two plate layers engaged on the tine deposed to se ing the deceased walking on the line near the Clarborough tunnel with a note book in his hand. James ChaSenor, engine driver in the service of the Great Northern Railway Company, said-1 left Lincoln with a pas senger train yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon at 35 minutes ' past three. Jest after we got from under the Oringley Bridge I saw the deceased standing on the line about two and three quarters miles from Retford. There is here a very sharp curve on the line. I saw the person get off the up line, to avoid a coal train which WAS •pproachin him, and step on to the down line whih we were runnin g g upon. He was from seventy to eighty c yards uff my train. 1 whistled alarmingly, shut off the steam, reversed the engine, and put on the break. He seemed to take no notice of us, his attention being directed to the coal train. The engine struck him, and when I pulled up I ['and him about thirty yards from where the collision took place. I war so much alarmed that I dare not go within fifteen yards of bins. It appeared to me that his head was off. I gave information of the occurrence to the clerk in charge at the Itetford Station, and the remains of the de ceased were fetched thither on a truck. The dtgessed was about 110 yards off when I first saw him, and we Were going about twenty-five or twenty-six miles an hour, which is the ordinary speed. The line is on a decline towards Refford. After some consultation the jury brought in the follow ing verdict We And that the gleamed was on the line without leave, and that he lame to his death by being accidentally run over." THE SABBATARIAN QUESTION IN SCOTLAND.—On Bentley moroing last the steamer Emperor left the Broomielaw with a full complement of passengers, there being upwards of four hundred persons on board, including a considerable number of ladies. Oa reaching Gourock, we ware informed, two or three gentlemen who had been passengers by one of the Liverpool steamers went on board the Sunday steamer, with the view of being conveyed across to the village of Row. Upon reaching the pier at this place, the gentlemen from Liverpool were landed, but their further passage was pmvented by a huge wooden gateway, which extended right =TOM the middle of the pier. This, it seems, however, proved no very serious obstacle, far some of the passengers speedily procured a saw, with which they rut away a suffi cient number of the wooden bus of the gate or bar ricade to enable the passengers to get through. When the Emperor approached the head of the loch, it was also found that the old stone pier erected by the fishery board was strongly barricaded under the orders of the ' lord lieutenant of the county. There was no force of men, however, to defend the erection, and a small beat having been loaored from the steamer, with a party carrying an I axe, saw, crowbars, and other implements, the obstruction in a few minutes was thrown into the loeb, and floated sway in the direction of the other pier. No landing was attempted here, the steamer at once making for the regular pier. At this point some persons, with the view of giving annoyance to the passengers, about on. hour before the arrival of the Emperor, lifted Dilae or ten planks from the middle of the pier ; hut this difficulty was easily got over, and the entire body of the passengers disembarked in safety, the planks which had been uplifted from the pier being made use of as a bridge to enable them to get over the wooden gateway adjoining the tollhouse. There was one of the rural policemen and some other men with him over looking the landing, but no disturbance ensued, and the passengers, after walking about the neighbourhood for two nouns, again quietly embarked in the same way as they had come, without creating the slightest noise, or giving annoy ance to any person.—Glasgow CAronick. 111 E GLENGARRY EYICTIONA.— These evictions I took place on the Knaydart pi etteelolle of the Glengarry family. Some 300 persous left peaceably, taking advantage of the opportunity for emigration which was presented to them. About one fourth of that number (exclusive of several infirm and sick persons, whose forcible removal was thought dangerous) persisted in remaining, had their habi• tatious tumbled down about their ears, and are now living in the shelter of the rocks. All of them, we believe, were much in arrears of rent, and Mrs. Mildewedl behaved libe rally as respects their proposed transportation.—lnverneas Ackertiur. THE ?EN PER CENT. MOIHMENT AT MANCHESTER. The movement for an advance of wages among the operatives at Manchester and in the surrounding dis tricts goes on with tit:Labatt El vioour. No matter what aro the relative pieces paid by rattlers at pr, sent as compared with whets, the cry is still " ten per cen!." Messrs. Christi-, of Penfield, pay the highest wages in the neighbourh oil, but their hands raise the cry of " ten per cent.," and like the other turnouts, repeat it with a pertinacity akin to fanati. cam. The w eavers o f domestics on strike had a proemion through Manchester on Thursday, headed by a hand of music, and carrying banners inscribed "1500" (the number on strike), and " ten pEr tent. and no surrender." A large proportion of them were young women. A meeting of them was held at the Carpenters'-hall the same evening, when the secret of the unreasoning charaver of their proceedings was readily discernible in that of their orators. These were chiefly men who have been leaders of socialist, chartist, " freedom to industry," and ether moveme n ts i n p as t t i mes , an d w h o are clever at uttering fluent noeseuse, though they have never yet shown themselves deter tweet to conduct any one movemeut to a successful issue. A resolution was snored and adopted to the effect that, considering the pre• sent slue of prosperity, the operatives were justified in striking for a 10 per cent. advance, and pledging all pre• sent to juin the Weavers' Trade Union now forming. Amongst the strange doctrines u'tered by the speakers un this occasior, a man named Cooper told them if they per severed " employers " would become an obsolete term, since operatives would become their own employers. A men named Matthews commented on the speech of Mr. Wilson Patten, at a late agricultural meeting, and said that masters having displaced all the lab Mr they could by machinery as applied to manufac tures, were now going to try the same course with agricul. tine. One speaker told them the maters could well afford to give this advance, but land at or not they must give it, and charge the extra price on thAr customers. S.,me of the speakers complained of want of support, and it ap peered that the subscriptions of last week only reached tenpence per head for the people on strike. At a meeting of employers held a few day a since, it was resolved to send a deputation to Christie's mill to point out to the operatives the obstacles in the way of compliance with their demande r and it was explained to the meeting that this firm were already paying very high wages. They had, u ntil recen tl y , employed their hands siaty-five hours per week, and had taken off five hours without lowering their wages, leaving them in a very advantageous posi tion. It was stated that the dispute about wages, however, only applied to a small number of Meurs. Chris tie's viorkpeople —the etrippcn and grinders. The places of these men could have bccu reaaily supplied by other hands, glad to accept the same wages, but the great bulk of the hands in other branches stepped in between them and their emplo)ers, and said they would only work on condition that the old strippers and grinders were employed. On Wed nesday the deputation of masters went to Penfield, and had en interview with a deputation of the operatives, who introduced a delegate also from Stockport. The interview was productive of happy consequences. The strippers, alter a long argument, abandoned their position, but the grinders, it was found, had a more substantial ground of complaint, having continued to do the same quantity of work iu 60 hours which they formerly did in 6,5. The deputation suggested that some assistance should be given them, by way of lightening their labour, and the result is that the whole of Messrs. Christie's hands have agreed, with this modification of the dispute, to resume work without increase of wages. The bands at several other mills have given notice of a strike, including part of the spinners at Messrs. Birley'e, who had already received an advance. A rumour was mentioned on the Exchange that the masters at Preston had agreed, unless the hands there gave up the claim of 10 per cent. now urged, they would close all their mills for three months—each master entering into a bond for 5,000 f. not to resume busi nese without leave from the others. CONTEMPLATED CLOSING OF MILLS. PRESTON, FRIDAY. Great excitement has been caused in this town to day by the placerding of thy following oddress to the fac tory operatives of Preston and the neighbourhood, from the Manufaiturers' Association, anuououng their intention to close their establishments: "A month has now elapsed eines the associated masters of Preston and the neighbourhood, yielding to the request of the operatives employed in their respective mills, and after a lull consideration of the circumstances of each par ticular case, agreed to give an advance upon the then rate of wages. Notwithstanding this concession, and the wish thereby shown on their part to settle the question in a liberal manner, the masters regret to find that the opera tives have put themselves under the guidance of a designing and irresponsible body, who, having no con nection with this town, nor settled position anywhere, but living upon the earnings of the industrious operative, interfere for their own purpose and interest with the rela tion between master and servant—create, where it dues not exist, and foster and perpetuate where unhappily it dues, a feeling of dissatisfaction and estrangement—and in a spirit of assumption, arrogate to themselves the right to deter mine, and dictate to the operatives the means of enforcing the conditions of which they shall be permitted to labour. To this spirit of tyranny and dictation the masters can nu longer submit, in justice either to the operatives or to themselves; and, hence, they are reluctantly compelled to accept the only alternate left—to close their mills, until those cow on strike are prepared to resume their work, and a better understanding is established between the employer and employed. In adopting this course, they are fully sensible of the serious evils, moral and social, which must attend it, and which the sad experience of 1836 must pain fully recall to the recollection of many. Thee feel, how ever, that the responsibility is not theirs—it rests with those who have recklessly created the difilculty, and forced this decision upon them." To this address are appended the signatures of thirty-five firms, headed by Messrs. Horrockses, Miller, &c., the largest concern in town, employing some five or six thou sand hands. Notion to quit work are already prepared for serving upon the operatives, the intention of the manufac turers being to close their mills in a month from to-morrew (Saturday). For some weeks past the operatives have pc tiodically held out-door meetings, preceded by processions with music and flags. Some of these assemblies have num bered fully twenty thousand people. Placards have ap peared announcing another meeting for last night, with the usual preliminaries(all turn-outs being requested to attend). The magistrates issued a proclamation forbidding the pro jected procession, as having a direct tendency to a breach of the peace, and the intimidation of the inhabitants. At the meeting the speakers inveighed against the magistrates, and expressed a want of confidence in the bench on account of its being .‘ stuffed with cotton" (i.e., chiefly occupied by manufacturers). Several cases of intimideloo have oc curred during the week, and some of the convicted of ' linden have been sentenced to three months and others to ail weeks' imprisonment. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT A SOAP MANUFACTORY AT DEPTYORD.—Yesterday morning a frightful accident occurred to James Welch, a soap maker of Sun-street, Deptford, which is likely to terminate fatally. The un• fortunate man was in the employment of Messrs. Whesn's soapery, Deptford Creek, when he unfortunately walked on the edge of a vat of boiling soap, and fell in head foremost. When the unfortunate sufferer was extricated, the flesh pealed off. He was conveyed to St. Thomas's Hospital ; but from the severe nature of the injuries not the slightest hopes are entertained of his recovery. SUICIDE AT PORTLAND.—On Wednesday evening a private belonging to the 42nd Highlanders committed suicide by blowing out his brains with his musket. It is reported that he had been guilty of some breach of discipline and was consequently placed under arrest, and the dread of the punishment which he anticipated, so powerfully wrought upon his mind as to induce him to commit the rash act by willed his existence was terminated. On Thursday, an in quest on the body was held before F. 8. Frost, Req., coro ner for the island, and a respectable jury, when a verdict of foto de a• was returned.— Sher/lounge Journal. A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, which might have been attended with even fatal results, recently occurred to Mrs Jones, of Pantglass. That lady was giving some orders with regard toe building in process of erection, and her foot (biasing to slip, she fell through the open beams of a pas sage-landing, and received various injuries and bruises, though happily escaping without broken bones or com pound fractures. We are happy to add, that Mrs. Jones, notwithstanding the pain and suffering entailed by the untoward accident, is regressing favourably to conva lescence. COLLIERY ACCIDENT.--A most serious colliery accident occurred at the Tondu iron works, near Bridgend, on Thursday last. It appears that on the morning in ques tion' when the workmen descended the pit, a quan ti ty o f foul air was ignited by means of • candle. An explosive ensued, the concussion of air caused by which tore down a portion of the pit, while four of the colliers were burnt to so serious an extent that the lives of all appeared to be in jeopardy. The names of the sufferers are Llewellyn Ro berta, Evan John, Morgan Philip, and Hopkin David. The first named expired on Sunday, and an inquest was held on the body on Monday, before Mr. R. L. Reece, coroner. The jury returned • verdict of "Accidental death."— Swansea Herald. FATAL ACCIDENT AT WINDERMERE. An acci dent, which terminated fatally, occurred on Tuesday after noon un Windermere. Two young gentlemen, stopping at Waterhead with their families, one the son of Mr. Thick nesse, M.P. for Wigan, went on the lake in a small skiff, and when opposite Ecclerigg Crag, from some imprudence, the boat capsized, and both wet, drowned. After being nearly three-quarters of an hour in the water, their bodies wero recovered, and conveyed to Low-wood Inn, to await the coroner's inquest. THE CROWN LANDS IN WINDSOR.—For some time past workmen have been employed in making a car riage way, of noble dimensions, from the King's-road to the cavalry barracks, to be continued from thence to the Clewer-road, near Clarence-crescent. The land on each side of this road has been divided into convenient building lots for the erection of detached and semi-dt tubed villas The crown land traversed by the new road and the lands of the neighbouring proprietors (Mr. Alderman Bcdborough and Mr. Arthur V.Ansittart) will furnish sites fur hundr. As of houses, and the probAblity is that in less than ten years, Windsor will be more than double its present extent. It is understood that the troduce of the laud sales on the King's-road will be applied townrcle tho purchase and re moval of building' in the town, with the view of isolating the castle, anti so enhancing the appearance of that majes tic structure. - a .- ~ y;~-tom IRELAND. Drlll.lN, SEPT. 16. An official communication, addressed to the Lord Mayor, announces that her Majesty, at her recent visit, left in the hands of the Lord-Lieutenant the very liberal sum of 500:. to be distributed among the Dublin Charities in the following order :—Mendicity Institution, 751.; Society for the Relief of Sick and Indigent Itoonikeepers, 751. ; Coombe Lying-in- Hospital, 50/. ; City of Dublin Hospital, 501. ; Cit'c of Dublin Improvement Fund, 50/. ; Meath Hospital. 501. ; Meath-street Dispensary, 50/. ; Hospital for Incurables, 50/. ; Dublin Sailors' Home, 25/. ; Kings ' town Lying-in-Hospitsl, 23/. A meeting, presided over by the Mayor of Limerick, was held in that town yesterday, to invite the Lord Lieutenant to visit Limerick on the occa sion of holding the ensuing Great Munster fair, and opening the new docks. It was arraugel that his Excellency be invited to come to Limerick on the 27th instant, a public banquet of which his Excel lency will be the special guest, to be given on the Mk/wing day. The Lord Lieutenant will be the guest of the Bishop of Liwerick during his stay. The London, 90 guns, arrived in Queenstown harbour on Tuesday evening, but although other ships of the Channel fleet had put to sea from Bantry Bay, none of them had arrived at Queenstown until, yesterday morning, when the Imperieuse and another had just reached. Au the others were expected in the course of last evening. The rumoured appointment of Mr. O'Flaherty, M.V., to the office of Gaveraor of Australia has set all our politicians agog, and great preparations are already spoken of to contest the representation of Galway. Lord Dunkellin or Sir T. N. Redington will, it is said, stand, but it is not likely that both will appear together hi the field. Other candidates friendly to the government interest are also spoken of, and a desperate opposition from what is styled the " independent " party is threatened. Sir T. N. Itedington has arrived at his seat near Galway. The following singular " manifesto" has been issued in the form of a lithographic circular from Lard Londonderry's office to his tenantry in Ulster: Mount-Stewart, August 23, 1853. I Lord Londonderry sincerely regrets to find, on his return to Ireland that, notwithstanding liberal reductions, very little progress has been made in the aggregate amount of the large sum of rent and arrears due by the tenant formers. Last year the rent and arrears due to Lord Londonderry were 16,663/., and there has only in this year been an sm• lioration of 2,229 r., to which, let it be observed, the half-year's gale should be added, if they were as Eng lish tenants. It may be said that some stringent measures hare been retorted to, but the quo/tin is, if, in justice, much more ought not to have been done. A long mistaken , system of leniency and indulgence from the office, with lands lower set, and greater pairs taken by forming societies, premiums, &c., have unhappily placed Lord Londonderry in a far worse position than neighbouring landlords. The public and the agricultural world can form their judg ments of the advartagek that have been afforded, and that the tenants posses, now on the Down estate. And the question to be solved I,—why should this estate then be so much more in arrear, in proportion, than any other ? Famine and potato disease has long been the note a ex cuse; but this applies equally to all. The case of these enormous arrears is now more peculiar than ever. Tno govesament of the day have decreed Irish landlords are to have their incomes taxed according to their rental, cot aceroding to their receipts. If the occupiers of the soil will not pay the proprietor, the landlord's position is piti able ; and all the comfort and instruction he gets from the miuiater of the literal coalition cabinet of the day is, for sooth, that the Irish landlords are fools if they don't make their farmers pay them. Such is the lemon of the liberal rulers in Engiand. It cannot, then, surprise the tenantry that Lord Londonderry informs them that this state of their affairs with him can no longer go on. It is doubly neces sary for their own sakes, as well as his, that stringent and most energetic efforts should be made, without a moment's loss of time, to clear off the incubus that l a ys o n th em . At Lord Lo ndonderry's advanced time of lite he cannot hope for many year., and at his decease ruthless executors would rush in to collect the dues to the retiring proprie tors before the heir comes in for his rents. It must be evi dent to all no indulgence would or could he granted, and the property would be infallibly laid waste and destroyed. These are reflections that should come home to ev,ry te nant farmer, for the sake of his offrpring as well as him self. The fatal mischief done by soft, foolish, and impo litic indulgence in the past years—fatal because it comes an the end to be as destructive to the tenant as it has long been to the proprietor, must now, by every possible effort, be repaired, and Lord Londonderry has issued at last the most peremptory and positive orders that the lass must forthwith take effect throughout his estate, if a very large and sufficient portion of the arrears are not brought to the office. It is to be understood, this order most particularly applies to the arrears, more than the running gale, as many tenants think if they are forward with the Litter it seethes. But this will not do now; timer are changed, and justice must at last be done to the landlord. Lord Londonderry is ready, and most happy, to admit a large portion of his tenant tanners arc excellent, honourable, and right-seeing and acting men ; but, on looking to the general position of hie property, can it be admitted that, by any cause or ma• nagement, et should be 30,000!. in arrears to him ? Lord Londonderry is too straightforward to care or wish for any concealment. A list and roster is kept and can be shown at the office to every one demanding it—the debtor and delin quent, and the honest and loyal tenants. VANE LONDONDERRY. Another meeting of the leading friends of tenant right in the north was held in Newtownards on Tuesday last. The speakers expressed themselves as full of hope for the Lear settlement of the question. No new facts about the harvest have been received, but tho program of the potato blight has not, it is to be feared, been arrested. The Cork Constitution has the following paragraph about William Smith O'Brien : A gentleman at present in this city, lately returned from Hobart Town, states that he had an interview with Smith O'Brien at Norfolk Island, w here he found him enjoying excellent health ; he was living in a hotel, whets he wu supplied with every comfort and luxury he could desire. He had none of the appearance of a convict ; he dressed in a similar style as he had done in this country. The govern ment allowed him a circuit of ten miles for exercise, and be had only to report himself once a month to the police au thorities. The gentleman referred to was two evenings in company with Smith O'Brien, and during both interviews O'Brien avoided all reference to politics or any subject re lating thereto. ANOTHER 0110 ST.—During the past week the residents in the neighbourhood of Quaker-road have been thrown into a state of much excitement by a very singular and almost unaccountable phenomenon, which has fur nished the lovers of the marvellous with food for gossip, and has produced grave suspicions as to the possible recurrence of supernatural events. In the beginning of last week an aged lady, belonging to the Society of Friends, died, after a brief illness, and was interred in the Quaker's Cemetery. There were not wanting ra• moues that the deceased lads bad during her life-time expressed a wish to be buried in the Cemetery of the Cathe dral Church of St. Finn Barr's, and various speculations were indulged in as to whether the shade of the departed would be satisfied with its present resting place. On Thursday night, however, the inmates of a cottage adjoining the Quaker's Cemetery, were alarmed by a violent shower of stones thrown on the roof of their residence, which coati ' nued at intervals during the entire night. No reason could be assigned for such a circumstance. The inmates of the cottage were universally considered to be the most quiet and inoffensive of mankind, the y were universally respected, and were in particular beloved by the poorer portion of the surrounding neighbour, whose distress they had ever been ready to alleviate. The only explanation offered of the circumstance, at least by the gossip of the neighbour hood, was that the ghost of the deceasea lady had re sorted to this method of intimating her disapprobation of the locality in which she was interred. Some persons, however, were sceptical enough to suppose that on exami nation the ghost could be easily discovered, arrested, and sent for a few months to the treadmill, and for this purpose a party of police from the Capwell station were sent fur, kept watch there both by night and day. Great excitement was caused through the city by this proceeding ; numbers of persons visited the locality and stopped there a consider able time in order to get a sight of the ghost, if it should make its appearance. The ghost, however, appeared to dislike being attended by so crowded an auditory, and though the stones were thrown twice or thrice durirg the night, no one could get a glimpse of it, though every eye was eagerly strained for the purpose. The following night, however, one party distinctly states he taw the supernatural visitant. It had taken up a rather inconvenient position, being seated astride upon the chimney of one of the houses in Quaker-road, arrayed in bright scarlet, with a black scarf covering its head. On the following day a girl passing by the cemetery was alarmed by seeing the ghost standing on one of the graves. It had changed its attire, being clothed in white, with long flowing garments, and the frightened observer states the app.itition raised its hand and beckoned thrice, as if on the point of speaking. Next night the cones were again repeated; in tense excitement was felt through the neighbourhood, large numbers visited the spot, and others collected at the come ts ry of St. Finn Barr's under the impression that the shads of the deceased would proceed there from its present burial- place. They were, however, disappointed. No further appearance was made by the ghost; but repetitious of stone-throwing occur at intervals ; end thus the matter rests for the present.—Cork Constitutiwa.
