serto create distorhatect. The or.stron.ise to the tien:te, put in cireula.ion jestcrasy, has got a great - soul FRANKFORT, Aro. 11. We are still novices in politico, and it is otten ridi callous enough to see how we blunder on at haphazard. But, notwithstanding, wo daily gain more confi dence in our handywork, and this confidence seems to me a guarantee of st ren g th and permanence. For my part, I believe the unity of Germany to be a cause !mph:, and am convinced that no resistance, come from what quarter it may, can do anything but confirm that unity. The King of Prussia will take good care not to yield to the temptations of the Prussians of pure blood and old standing ;'' for the Prussian state will mumble to pieces, and Berlin it self will rise in insurrection, theday that the King re. raises the standard of revolt agnst the reasonable and timid orders (and such aseuredly they have hi therto been) of our parliament. The great clamour raised in Prussia aga:nst the central power was occasioned by the attacks made by some members of the extreme left on Prussia and the Prussians. The reactionary party took advantage of the bad effect produced by these attacks to rally a considera ble portion of the population of Prussia around them. But luckily this movement carried them too far ; they shOwed their aims too openly ; they declaimed against liberty and unity in general, and even went so tar as to threaten South Germany with war and conquest. This has opened the eyes of the patriots and the friends of progress among the Prussians, and a counter-action has begun which promises to place Prussia once more at the head of the popuhr move- meat in Germany. There was a combat ti routrunce a few days ago in our assembly between the extrerre right (composed almost exclusively of the "Prossians of pure blood"), led by Vol Vncke, ltadowsky, Lichnowsky, &c. ; and the extreme lett led by some ',mullions and ad herents of Hecker. The friends of Hecker said, while the amnesty was under discussion, that the Prince of Prussia and Hecker ought to have been dealt with in the same manner. The " Prussians of old standing " were indignant at this sacrilege, and seemed almost ready to proceed to blows. This roused the certres ; and had the extreme left p -s -sessed the least tact tkey might have given on this occasion the coup de grace to a party which ia only strong in their blunders. Instead of this they rivalled their antagonists in unbridled license of language, and railed against Prussia and Prussians in a manner that disgnstAil the assembly. But this scandalous episode' has at least had the advantage of emancipating an immense majority of the assembly from all influence of either extreme; and I trust they will advance more directly to their aim in future. To-day and to-morriw they are to have a debate on foreign policy. I believe I may assure you that the assembly will compel the cabinet of Vienna to adopt an Italian policy in respect of Italy. This question has been unduly postponed, but the assem bly's hands are full of yet more urgent business. I do not think the Limburg question of such secondary importance as some appear to do. Germany has been stripped on all hands. Limburg is German both by blood and the sanction of treaties. Re-awakening Germany could not, consistently with its own dignity, shrink from the first truly national question that pre sented itself. A word or two about our ministry. On the whole it is a wretched one, but a majority in the assembly seem determined to support it, as long as they decently can, as it appears to them the embodied central power which they aio both to weaken. The choice of ministers is bad in many ways, but the source of the evil is the general shrinking from the responsibility of taking a lead. M. Von Leinir.gen is a nobody,. without w:ight moral or political, and the only conceivable reason for making him president is, that he is a prince, and has written a letter in which he appears to renounce the old policy of the nob/esse and the privilegee of his caste. M. Heckscher is a Hamburg advocate (a Jew); he has no influence to speak of in the national assem bly, and certainly less in diplomatic circles. M.Von Beckerath has lost much of the reputation he gained at Berlin ; he is thought feeble, but he is respected. Duckwitz, of Bremen, has a good character as an honest man and able merchant. Peneker is weak and his resignation is already talked about. Robert Nlohl is the most distinguished man in the ministry. Every body respects his talents and character; he is thought to be of the stuff of what real politicians are made. He belongs to the left centre, while all his colleagues are of the right centre. The three under-secretaries of state have in like manner been taken from the left centre. The ministry is, there fore, a coalition ministry; but I fear it will prove a mire ministry of circumstances, and will only last till the assembly assumes a more decided character. That may happen to-morrow, or may not happen for a long time. . _ . MADRID, Avo. 10. The deputation to Seville, on the occasion of the Infanta's confinement, is on the point of setting out from La Gran* Sartorius will represent the cabinet ; the Duke Castro-terrino the military, as captgeneral; and M.Arana introducer of ambassadors, with some foreign ministers, and the diplomatic corps. There seems to have been some sharp encounters in Cata lonia, all of which have terminated, according to published correspondence, in favour of the government. The most notable recent fact in the principality is the entrance of a body of 4 t republican centralistas from France, who joined the cariitt band of Planadeninat at ,Nuestra Senora de las Salinas. A list of the Car Lets end centralies seat into the interior of France by the authorities has been forwarded by the Spanish consul from Perpignan, who bean testimony to the activity of the French government in suppressing the in vasive parties. The Carlist list contains the names of 16 officers and 27 men ; head officer, D. Jose Galcera, brigadier. The centralist list contains 11 officers and 56 men ; head officer, Boilers, mariscal.de.campo. I observe the name of one J. Gandara among the centralist officers; whether Joaquim, the friend of Salamanca, I know not, but pro bably not. The greatest obscurity exists as to alo whereabouts of Cabrera. Some accounts even report him dead; others, retired to London. A more considerable action occurred than usual on the 2nd at Litre. The rebel party consisting of the united bands of Menai and other Cabecillaa numbered 600 men, with 2.5 horse. Col. Apellaniz drove them from the heights, killing 9. The Queen's troops lost not a man. Another engage ment took place en the Ist between Monroig and Viure, near Figueras, in which the Carlists had 11 killed, the Queen's troops only 4 Aunded. There seems little doubt, with all allowance for exaggeration of the government's success, that the Ciente arc getting the worst of it. FRANCE.—Etars InnIIIIGENTEL—The Ocean, of Brest, cf the 9th, says that the taloa, containing , the insurgents, arrived on Monday night in the road - . Mead, after a passage of thirty-three hours from Bane. The insurgents were well treated, being al lowed the same food as the sailors, and permitted to pass four hours on the deck. On Tuesday they were trans ferred to the frigates Didoe and Werner', which are destined to serve provisionally as pontons. The frigate the Peadore is to watch over the security of the prisoners. PERNAMBUCO.—Dates from this city to June 28 state that business was at a complete stand, in come quenor of a disturbance that broke out on June 26, originat ing in a squabble between a student and a Portuguese clerk. A mob collected and the anti-Portuguese feeling manifested itself. Four or five lives were lost, the shops were closed, and the want of energy at first on the part of the police authorities gave fear of serious consequenc, but a new chief of police being appointed the riot was immediately quelled on the discharge of a few musket shots. Exchange at Rio, June 17, 231 to 24. Cbt Court. Prince Albert pre.ided yesterday morning at a meeting of the Council of the Duchy of Cornwall, in Somerset-houso. The Queen and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Prince and PIiIICPSS of llohenlohe Laneenbourg and the Princess Eliza of HoltenJohn Laogenhourg, left town yester day afternoon for o,borne. The royal suite consisted of the Viscountess Canning, lady in waiting, Col. the Hon. C. B. Phipps, and Col. iVylde. A committee of the Privy Council for Trade and Foreign Plantations had a meeting yesterday, at the office, Whitehall. The lords present were the President of the Board of Trade, the Vice-President, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, and Sir E. Ryan. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office from the Governor of Canada, and also from the go vernors of the other North American colonies. Despatches were sent off last evening from the Colenial-office for the governors of the West India colonies, and for the governors of St. Helena and Gibraltar. Earl Delawarr had an interview with Earl Gran ville yesterday, at the office of tho Board of Trade. LONDON AND WESTMINSTER BANK.—Yesterday a special general meeting of this bank was held at the eats. blishment in Lotbbury, D. Salomon, Egg., in the chair, when the resolution passed at the previous meeting, for altering the 67th clause of the deed of settlement, so that the annual meetings may be held on the third Wednesday in January in every year, instead of March, as hitherto, was passed unanimously, and the meeting adjourned. THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 17, 1848, IRELAND. AL'OrST 15. A meeting of noblemen and gentry, associated for the object of procuring the periodical sitting of the imperial parliament in Ireland, was held in Rutland square yesterday, and was very respectably, but not ' numerously attended. Much disappointment was felt by those not summoned specially to attend, inasmuch as the hour named in the Packet for the meeting was four r.M., but it was opened at two r.st, and had concluded long before four o'clock. A notice which appears in the public prints to-day renders all forbearance unnecessary, in stating that Mr. C. Gavan Duffy has conveyed over his property to trustees, for the payment of his creditors. Mr. Daffy was supposed to have made a large fortune by his journal, the Nation, which has enjoyed for several years a large circulation in Ireland. It is now certain te has not done so, and that in truth the sedition of he Nation was very unprofitable, for its owner's affairs are in the most extreme state of de rangement. His assets will hardly pay his liabilities. It is understood that ho has out on mortgage a sum of 1,500!., besides book debts, which in his peculiar case will probably be difficult to realise—his liabilities amount to upwards of the sum above-named. Of these, it is said, VIOL are owing to his paper manufacturer, and 400!. to the engineer who recently supplied him with a patent printing machine. Thus a further discouragement is given to those who would follow in his steps. Sedition is not r only perilous, but unprofitable. CORE, TUESDAY. We have received by way of Bris.ol intelligence from Cork, to 5 o'clock, p.m., Tuesday, brought by the steam packet r , abrina, Capt. Parker. There had been no intelligence received at Cork of the alleged disturbances at Nerry, respecting which rumours were afloat on thc prey ious night at Waterford; although towards the end of the week there was a slight affray at Tipperary between some of the " 13.,y5" of that town and some soldiers of the 43rd nee. It would appear that, in consequence of the soldiers having carried on amours with some girls, a reverend father reproved them for the scandal. The soldiers replied offensively to his reverence, and either the priest called on ,the "boys" to assist him, or they voluntarily resented tho imult offered to him, and a breach of the peace ensued. Some accounts say that the soldiers have been put moiler arrest ; and others, that the priest has been suspended by his bishop. The accounts of the potato crop are discouraging ; and, according to the Cprk Glistitation of Tuesday evening, the grain crops are in jeopardy. SCOTLAND. EDINIIVROII, Acu. 15. State economy is being evinced in Edinburgh. Two leading offieials in the office for stamps and taxes have retired after long service, and their duties are to be annexed to those of other two functionaries, who are to work double tides at small advances of salary, and, after all, be very fairly paid. Bailie Stott's liberation is at hand. Last night a meeting of his ward was held, when it was resolved that in order again to receive the benefit of his services a penny subscription should be entered into for the purpose of paying the taxes duo by him. The con venor of the trades and Mr. Dick, who presides at the annuity-tax meetings, both announced their intention of withholding payment and allowing the law to take its course, but as eel:flown friends have paid the annuity for them, these gentlemen will be saved the trouble of going to gaol. A dissenting church fibre , y, hall, and lecture-room have been marked for assessment during the ensuing year, which has not added to the popularity of the system. A deputation from a public meeting waited on the town council Lust Tuesday, and the same body authorised a conference to be held with the clergy, and negotiations to be opened with different members of parliament, all with a view to the abolition of this obnoxious tax. The proposal of Mr. Hume to throw the burden on the unexhausted teinds has given ge neral satisfaction, although some churchmen are making a bugbear about the law only allowing Winds to be used for parochial purposes. Ecclesiastical bickering is also going on in the north. An Elgiu schoolmaster has obtained an interim interdict to prevent tho magistrates of that burgh from ejecting him on account of his having obeyed the presbytery• in pre ference to the town council ; and Lord Ordinary Ivory has ruled that the Court of Session has jurisdic tion in the matter of the dealing of a bishop with a refractory presbyter. Dr. Skinner, the primes of our Scotch episcopal bench, not only deposed but ex communicated the Rev. Sir William Dunbar, who, having derived his orders from an Anglican prelate, refuses to be unfrocked by a Scotch ordinary, and appeals to Ciesar for protection. The case is a very curious one, and will, in due time, find its way to the House of Lords. NAVAL. , P OR TSMOUTH, Auo. 16.—The Cyclops. at. , was pai d off this day, and placed in the reserve Kram sowizon.—The Conot Guard service men, wino have been doing duty in the Cyclops, Dragon, and Victory, since the Irish disturb:slaws commenced, were this day put on board the Vulcan revenue steam-vessel, which lett soon utter. wards, for the purpose of distributing them along the coast —The shkrp.houter, it., will be ready bar Pea on the letth.

Before Mr. Commbudoner THE MIRCH.Ver TRAUMA' SHIP, LOAN, AND 'NEI:- NANCE COILEANY.—Two other of the directors of this com pny have been made bankrupts, and to.day was appointed for the first meeting for the choice of assignees in each case. The parties were describe u " Samuel Price, St. John's Wood-tetrace, Regent's P s rk, and Fish street-hill, under writer," and " Edward Outtalk' Winthrop, Avenue-road, gent's Park, and Fish-street hill, underwriter ;" Fish- street-hill being the place where the company bad its offices. —Mr. Breese, of Lincoln's-inn-lielde, appeared as the solicitor under the fiats.—fdr. Lucas, on the part of certain creditors, stated that proceeding' bad been taken before the Vice- Chancellor for annulling tho fiat in one of these cues. The matter was still pending, and he therefore applied that in the meantime all further ceedings should be stayed.—The application was agreed to an a matter of course. NEW-CUT RAGGED SCHOOL. --Yesterday afternoon the second annual g eneral meeting of the supporters of the above school was - held at the Teumeraace Hall, Waterloo road. The Earl of Waldegrave having taken the chair, and compared the character mid habits of the juvenile poor ‘ with what they were before the commencement of the • ragged. school system " the secretary read the report of the com mittee, whichstated that although the expenditure had been considerably more this year than the last, and many debts bad been contracted, the school was in an efficient and highly satisfactory state. Owing to the previous habits of the children disorders were of frequent occurrence in the school ; but mild means bad usually been resorted to for cor rection, and it was seldom ta y o f t an f the scholars were ex pelled. The average attendance in e Sundoy school bad been Si children and 10 teachers. Since the commencement of the day school 400 children had been admitted ; 160 were now on the hooks, while the average attendance was 110. Many more would attend, but were prevented by the small want of clothing, and 20 were laid up with scarlet fever, pox, etc. All who had seen the school acknowledged the recemity of an industrial wheal, to teach the childreu some useful trade. Through the kindness of several friends oC the school, 400 articles of wearing apparel, of different kinds, had been distributed amongst the most destitute of the chil dren. During the year the receipts had amounted to 66!. lbs. 10d., being less than the expenditure by 31. 17s. 10.1. The report was adopted, after which ',vend resolutions in support of the schools were passed, and the mes.ing separated. TUE SALL AT STOWE was yesterday recommenced. The attendance was much mi re numerous than might have been expected, and included a very great many of the sur rounding gentry. The first 50 or 00 lots, consisting of china and Raffaello ware, call for no particular note e. As on the preceding day, the prices realised by the 'various articles were satisfactory. The latter portion of yesterday's sale included some very munificent articles of furniture, of which the fol lowing were the more remarkable:—Lot 227. A repository for china, of ebony, with pillars and sir - molar ornaments, tut cen tre door panelled with buhl work—sold fur Si) guineas. Lot 228. A companion to the last lot-4'2 guineas. Let 236. A Gothic robe chest, of Gophir wood, the surface carved and gilt, with borders in imitation of precious - atones, from the Foothill collection-20 guineal. Let 233. The com panion coffer, of sandal wood, sold for the same. Lot '230. A pair of beautiful jars of the rarest old Japan lacquer on porcelain, with branches for five light., 171. Lot 240. the A beautiful tazza of Limoges enamel, painted insidawith history of Adam and Eve, the top having . a hunting subject, with arabesques, six inches high, 30 guineas. Lot 212. An ancient state settee, the bonne and hack very richly carved with lions' heads and gilt, covered h wit crimson velvet and cloth of cold, 211. Lot 251. A Florentine cabinet, with 11 slabs of mark and two marble columns to the door, which encloses four drawers fronted with marqueterie 271. Lot 245. A table of bu ilt m anufacture, 39/. 7s. 6d. 'Lot 25E. A smaller table of mar -1 queterie, the borders and legs inlaid with white metal, 501. Lot 2601. A pier table carved and gilt, with a slab of very fine Florentine mosaic 45 in. by 3e in., 43 guineas. Iberia were two lots in this day's sale which, although uo mention was made of the fact in the catalogue, possessed considerable interest to those who were acquainted with their history le were the two state chairs made expressly for and used by the Queen ant Prince Albert on the occasion of their visit to the Duke of Buckingham. Both these chairs were purchased ior the Marquis of Chaotios at a price conaidera bly under their real value, viz., only 8 guineas each. The amount realised by the day's sale exceeded 1,0601. THE IEIBII STATE PRISONER:S. — At the present moment (says a COI reipon,lcnt) the following notice of the early life and career of the faction who have brought about the present state of things in Ireland may net perhaps be un interesting. A brief biography of Mr. Smith o'l3rien's life has already been made public. Mr. C. Gaveei Deer? is the son of a farmer in the county of Monaghan. In hlsestly career he occupied a very . subordinate position indeed I The first prominent position he occupied was that of 1 a writer on the Dublin Morning Register, a re peal or radical publication, now extinct. He subse. quently proceeded to Belfast, were he was mph") cal b the I priests of the district to edit h and otherwise manage a journal known as the Belfast Vindicator. Mr. Duffy, while in this position, supported the wbigs. On the latter party been driven from e thee in 1841, the Vindicator grew more violent, but nevertheless its circulation gradually de- I creased, and it was almost defunct when Mr. Dully, by pub liabing a violent article against the Rost rument, in reference to the execution of a man named Woods for murder, whom he described as having been illegally convicted by a pro testant jury brought down on him the vengeance of Mr. Blaekburne, , the Attorney-General of the period. Duffy was duly tried and convicted, and would have been brought up for judgment had he not expressed contrition, and Mr. T. B. Smith, who bad succeeded to the office of Attorney• General, forgave him. In 1842 Mr. Dully, whose name hail obtained some degree of notoriety, esta blished the Nation newspaper. Mr. Duffy is a Roman catholic. Ile is not more than 32 years of age.—Mr. MEAGHER. is son of Mr. Thomas Meagher, Id P. for Water ford City—a merchant and alderman of that place, who has amassed considerable wealth by trading with America. The young gentleman, now about 2G years of age. possesses come property independeut of his father, with whom, as well as with his brother, he has always been at variance so far as politic* are concerned. lle also is a Roman catholic. According to his own statement, he was induced to emberk in the cause of repeal by O'Connell's many warlike appeals ' to the youth of Ira lund. — Mr. DO WENY, who, in p oint of years, is something more than a Young . lrelander, is, ace , rd ing to his own account, of humble origin. He cannot be less than 45 years of age. Me is a barrister, and has been many things. For many years he followed te occuatio of schoolams.er. Ile subsequently occupie h d himself ü bv acting as whipper-In to Whig attorneys-general and solicitors-general in the boroughs of Clunmel, Cashel, and Dungarvan. For nine years he was under stood to be employed in the Tithe Million office, Dublin Castle. He is a Roman catholic.—Mr. DILLON is a barrister, and took a gold medal and other honours in Tri nity College, Dublin. Ile was formerly a writer in the I Dublin Morning Register. Mr. Dillon, who is also a very young man, is son to an extensive corn merchant in the county of Mayo. He is a Roman catholic. — Mr. O'Goitoteer, jun., is sun to an extensive wool len draper in Dublin, and is a Roman catholic. — Mr. NaleTIN is understood to be a gentlemen of indepen dence, hut whether small or large is not generally known. He wee the first northern protestant who joined the confe derates, and has latterly rendered himself con spicuous by Wiest editor of the Felon newspaper. —Mr. O'Doitetter, of the Tribune, lately tried, is a medical student. lie is ana Live of the south of Ireland, and a Roman catholic. THE APPROACH OP CIIOLERA.—The registrar general's return for the week ending last Saturday states that 19 deaths had occurred from " English cholera " during the *even days. Diarrhea had destroyed 110 lives during the same period, the average being 66. Yet, although Asiatic cholera is evidently approaching this country nearer and nearer, week by week, no sufficient steps arc taken to miti gate its severity when it dots reach us. By the last news we learn that it is now at Berlin, where, during the first ten days of August, fourteen persons fell victims to it. At Man chester the medical committee of the infirmary have made a communication to the governors of that institution, in which they unanimously advise the establishment of temporary hospitals for the reception of cholera patients, provided with a medical gaff that shall not only be sufficient for the treat ment of the patients in hospital, but also to render assistance to those whose habitations may justify their being treated at their homes. The report of the medical committee having been received and ordered to be recorded on the minutes, it was then ordered by the board that a copy of such re port be scat to the mayor and corporation of Manchester, and another copy to the beard of guardians of the Manchester union. Might not London take a hint from these local authorities ? Piosch has a word to any on the cry of centralisation, which has been raised against all combined effort for the purifica tion of large towns : Once on a time there was a roan in a fever, Wlti in his delirium he • insisted on having a buttle of port per diem. The elector add it would finish him ; but his nurse was an advocate for self-government, and she pooh-poohed the doctor, and the patient crept to the cellaret and got his bottle of rough old port, and uncorked it with his trembling hands, and set it to hi•i mouth and floored it manfully, mid shed an hour afterwards * • an d his nurse glorified nett govern ment exceedingly, as she tied his chin up. trace on a time Cholera ruse from his marsh-bed in the East, and stalked westwards, killing his thousands and tens of thousands as he passed aloes. The (mat was spread for him in stagnant ditches, anal reeking cesspools, and filthy dwellings, and wherever these were, he fated abundantly; but where these were not, he starved. And wine mew who saw this, said, "Let as not spread the table for Cholera amongst us. Let us drain, and cleanse, and sweep, and whitewash." But the people, who did not see it, grumbled at this, and would not set hand to the work. And certain wiseacres ataod by and said,"Nay, we know a spell to keep off Cholera; " and they spelled their spell, and lt was, to repeat many umes over, " Self-gothrnment, government, self-government!" And Cholera chuckled when he heard the spell—for ho knew those wiseacres of old. INQUESTS, YESTERDAY.—STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT. —Before Mr. Carter, by adjournment, at the Ship public.- house, Hanover-stairs, Rotlterhithe, on the body of Joseph Cur, aged 21, a light porter. Last Sunday week the de ceased and two youths were rowing about fifty yards past Ilungerford.bridge, when Waterman steam-boat No. 10 wag coming down the river on her pasmge to Woolwich. Several persons on the steam-boat called to the deceased to row clear of dager, but he did not alter his course. The captain oidcred the engines to be stopped, and immediately after wards the boat deceased was in struck the after part of the tender belonging to the bows of the steam-boat. The small boat bounded back, and the swell of to water from the paddle-wheels caused the boat to " dip," and immediately afterwards it sank. Several wstermeu instantly went to the assistance of the youths, and succeeded in saving the lives of two of them, but the deceased disappeared. His body was not recovered until the following Friday, when it was discovered floating off Hanover-stairs. The jury re turned a verdict of " Accidental death."--oMeiteee COMPETITION. Before Mr. Payne, at St. Thomas's Hospital, on the body of Mr. George Leach, aged 44, late assistant house surgeon at St. Bartholomew's Hos pital—Mr. W. Lewis, 9, Stafford place, Pimlico, stated that he km w deceased well, and dined with him on Tuesday last, and accompanied him to Clapham in the evening. On their return about 10 o'clock they got into a Clapham omnibus which stow d at the Beckenham Arms, at the end of the New Kent-road, and in about five or six minutes another omnibus came; they started almost together, and before toy came to the tollgate, a distance of 70 or 80 yards, the de ceased was thrown on his head, and sustained such injuries as to cause his death in a few minutes afterwards. Charles Berridge deposed that he saw the occurrence, and he heard the drivers of the two omnibuses having words with each other, and they were viol entl y racingto get through the gate first. Deceased was thrown by the sudden jerk of the carriage, wi:en Steele, the driver of the Clapham omnibus, tried to cross the opposite aide of the road.—A number of witnesses were examined, the majority of them attributing the cause of the accident to the sudden jerk of toe omnibus driven by Steele, whilst the evidence of others sou of a very conflicting chiracter.—The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death."

A Rassatinaiing CARE.—J. Blanchard was indicted for poisoning 198 sheep, the property of Mr. Pinkney, at Ber wick St. Jatnes's.—TM2 charge snidest the prisoner was that of having maliciously destroyed, by means of poison, nearly 200 sheep belonging to the prosecutor, who farmed an estate of about 1,100 acres. Ile and a Mr. Tabor were the only holders of land in the parish, and the labourers had only those two gentlemen from whom they could obtain work in that parish. Upon the evening of the 24th January last the prosecutor had 6.10 sheep in two yards. Ile had had them brought into the yards in December, and on that evening the shepherds left the sheep in the yards, all in good health. The next morning, upon coming to the yards, the shepherds found that in one yard the sheep were as they had been left the preceding evening, while in the other yard the sheep were all affected with some inexplicable disease t hree were dead, and a vast number more were g roaning and showing symptoms of the greatest pos,iblo distress and agony, and the sheep continued to she for a period of 14 days ; and in the whole 198 died. It seemed quite clear that this was not the result of any ordinary disease, for not only the !shep herds had not seen any such disease before, but a veterinary surgeon declared that it was not any known form of disease ; a medical practitioner also saw them, and he had no doubt the sheep died from poison. The prosecutor sent the carcase of ouch of the sheep to Mr. Herapath, the eminent chemist of Bristol, and he had nu difficulty in detecting poison, which was sulphate of copper or blue vitriol. Ile discovered the poison not only in the intestines, but also in various other parts of the CANAL, so that it had spread itself throughout thesystern, and there could be no doubt that by some com pound of copper the sheep were kioled. The sheep from the other fold were put among those that were dy ng, but they took no harm. The question then came, whether the guilt of having administered the poison could be brought home to the prisoner. The facts by which it woo sought to convict the prisoner were these: behind the sheds and farm buildings ran the street of the village, and the prisoner's house was contiguous to the yard, with a means of entrance from the street into the yard. do far back as 1840 the prosecutor had refused to give the prisoner work, and he had then used threats of that gent:-man violence towards the prosecutor, which induced that Front:, man to take him before • magistrate, and he was bound over to keep the peace. Some time after that the prosecutor interceded with Mr. Tabor to give the priR5llC r work, and he employed him till 1n45, when he uischarged him ; and from that time until 1817 the prisoner only gut work from time to time precariously, and he was obliged to go into the union workhouse. About that period he met a person of the name of Ilitihert, who was under-bailiff to the prosecutor, and he asked Ribber% whether he thought the prosecutor would give him work. Ilibbert said he dial not think he would ; upon which the prisoner used very strong language with regard to the prosecutor, threatening to shoot him and to destroy his sheep; he said he would kill Mr. l'iukney if he did not employ him ; and when the sheep came home he would seek his revenge and poison' his master's sheep ; he had got that within his house that would slo it, and he would. His bert said, " Certainly, you won't do that ?" The pri sorer replied, " 11 I live and you live you will see ; and there will be mutton enough for many." A few days after this ktiblarrt communicated to Mr. l'inkney what the prisoner had said, and Mr. l'inkney had him taken before a magi,. *. taste, and the man was put into prison. Ile said to a person, "When the sheep come home I intend to work by night, when other people are in bed, and the sheep shall pine away and die, and the oldest man living shall never find out what I was the matter with 'him." On another occasion he said "it was a shame that Mr. l'inkney and Mr. Tabor did not I I find him wads ; it would serve them right if he poisoned 1 their docks of sheep ; it could be dune ; any one could put 2 ' some stuff in his pockets and put it into the troughs, and the sheep would pine ,away and die, and no one would be the ' wiser." The prisoner was kept in gaol from July until 6 : October; during that time he wrote a letter to Mr. Pinkney praying for mercy, and Mr. Pinkney did not appear against him at the October sessions, and he was discharged. The 1 being sent to gaol appeared to have made a great impression :1 on the prisoner's mind, and he was continually talking of Ii having his revenge, anal he said, it ever he got out of gaol I, lie would kill Mr. l'inkney, and make him a poorer man u than himself; he would nut do it as soon as he got out of IS gaol, because it would throw suspicion upon him; but there should be • greater cry than there ever had been yet; he s; would get some etua that would poison •2,000 sheep by throw ing it into a little water, or in the young clover grass, or he would do ir in the sheepfold. The prisoner came out of gaol in October ; the sheep were taken into the yards in De cember. On the 22nd of January the prisoner endeavoured 47 to obtain some arsenic at • shop in Salisbury, but the drug- j a gist refused to let him have any; he told him he wanted it an order to kill taus—Dlr. Edwards having addressed the X„ jury on the part of the pries ner, Mr. Justice Coleridge summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Ato. 16. Tug SHRIVENII/M RAILWAY CASE.—George Targeter, the railway policeman, was this day tried for manslaughter, in causing the death of Mr. Arthur Augustus Lea, on the .1 10th of May Mat, which offence was alleged to have been committed by the culpable neglect of his duty, in not giving s, the requisite signals in his capacity on the railway. The 6 evidence was the same as that given on the recent trial at Reading, when the prisoner aas convicted. It was proved that the prisoner had neglected to use proper diligence in ascertaining whether the line on the occasion of the incident was clear or in any way obstructed. The witnesses distinctly stated that he might have seen the cattle truck upon the line if he had looked in that direction. After the case bad been fully gone into, end the jury addressed on behalf of the prisoner, a verdict of Guilty was returned.—Mr. Cox, counsel for prisoner, prayed an ar rest of judgment, sn the ground that the indictment was bad, inasmuch as it merely stated the prisoner had ter. tain duties to perform, without describing what thoea anti , a were, and also because it omitted to give a description of the signals, which it was alleged he neglected to make. Ills lordship considered the indictment good, and that judgment should therefore be given. He then ' proceeded to deliver esntence on the prisoner. In doing so he said he conceived the main object of the parties who in stitute this prosecution to he, to let persons filling similar situations to that heretofore held by the pet goner know that if they were guilty of neglirnee it would not be allowed to pass unnoticed, or unpunished. That object having been gained in the conviction now ob tained, it did not require that a very heavy sentence should be pronounced against the prisoner. In this case there was an absence of any very aggravating circumstances, and con sidering this, with the good character the prisoner had re ceived for previous catetulness and attention, together with the period of imprisonment he had already suffered, he should sentence him to a slight imprisonment. Ile was, therefore, sentenced to three nionthe imprisonment, with hard labour. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Lescasvag, Auo. lb. Before Mr. Jtedies Croswell. SENTENCES.—J. Bickerstate, the postman, charged with purloining a letter entrusted to him for delivery, was found guilty on - Monday evening, and brought up far judgment this morning, in company with Boucher, for rcbbing his em ployers of a large quantity of ir,m, and Skinner, for stabbing Gerard, the landlord of the Dalton Arms, at Glosson Dock, in a fit of drunken fury. Bickerstafie was sentenced to seven years'transportation,:and Boucher and Skinner each to imprisonment, with hard labour, for twelve months in Pres ton House of Correction. POLICE Y _ESTERDAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. —PERSONATION of LORD ALFRED Henvey.—A man calling himself John Smith, a native of Bury St. Edmund's, but whose real name is said to be Whiting, was further examined charged with felony, and with having for • length of time gone about representing himself to be Lord Alfred Hervey, M.P. for Brighton.— Emily Farrow said she lived at No. 6, Crawford-stet et, Bry anston-square. About two months ago the prisoner called on her and introduced himself to her as Lord Bernard, eon of the Duke of Leinster. Her watch, worth Si., was on the mantel-piece when he called. The prison( r took it up, looked at it, und seeing it was out of repair, said he would get it mended for her. Witness did not wish him to do so, and the prisoner put the watch down again and said he would purchase her a new one. The prisoner went away soon af terwards, and witness in about two or three hours mimed the watch.—The defence of the prisoner was, that the prosecutrix allowed him to take away the watch to get it repaired.—Hannah Fisher, 6, King-street, St. James's, said she was living at 94, Jerinynatreet when she received a note requesting an interview. The prisoner called in about 10 minutes, and in the course of conversation, seeing that she had a gold ring on her finger, he looked at it, and asked her if she should like a diamond ring, instead of the gold ring. She replied in the affirmative, and the pri soner then said he would send his valet the next day with a diamond ring. The prisoner took the gold ring from her finger, to get, as he said, a diamond ring of the same size. Witness had not received a diamond ring, nor had she seen the prisoner again until he was in custody at that court. The ring now produced was her property.—lnspector Whall, of the C division, said he apprehended the prisoner on another charge. The prisoner resisted strongly, and ends , Toured to throw away the gold ring owned by the witness. The prisoner had nothing to say in defence. The case of obtaining money by fraudulently representing himself to be Lord A. Hervey was then gone into.—lt will be recollected that on the former examination, bliss Page, milliner, of John street, Oxford-street, proved that the pri soner purchased a bonnet and cap at her shop, as he said, for Lady Hervey. He represented himself to be Lord Alfred Hervey in her hearing, sou of the Marquis of Bristol. Be lieving the prisoner to be Lord Alfred Hervey she consented to lend him a sovereign to pay his cab, as he said he had nothing but a bank note in his pocket.—Lord A. Hersey said the prisoner was a stranger to him. Some parson answering the description of the prisoner had been going *bout . o different places assuming his title. His lordship here produced a considerable bundle of letter , which had been sent to his residence from partici, who had been duped and were under the impression that the prisoner was Lord Alfred Hervey. His lordship said it was evident from some of the prisoner's proceedings that he was well acquainted with his family arrangements, but this could be accounted for, as the prisoner's father, when alive, was a resident at Bury, near which place the marquis, hie father, had an estate. The prisoner denied that he had stated himself to be Lord A. Hervey. From communications made to the magistrate it appeared that the prisoner for about three years has been carrying oa a system of fraud and immorality to an incredi ble extent. At one time the prisoner was riding about town in a carnage, with footman and coachman, assuming the manned more than one nobleman. A lady mentioned to Mr. Hardwick that the Prisoner had passed himself off to her as Lord George Bentinck, and that she believed hie re presentatioas from seeing his stylish carriage and servants. (Joe part of the prisoner's system appears to have beer. to reply to advertisements for governesses' situatiens.—The prisoner wan fully committed on the two charges of felony. LAMBETH.—TaeGERMANVICTIMISEU. — / / . Schtleirkr, the young German whose former examination for swindling appeared in the Doily News, was again placed at the bar for further examination. The opinion formed by the magistrate on the last examination, namely, that the prisoner's opera tions were not confined to the two cases then before him, was fully borne out, as will be seen by the following.—Mrs. Deanlon, a lady residing at No. 106, Upper Stamford-street, Aided that in the month of April last the prisoner called at her house and engaged apartments there. He then said he hod come from ltussia to fill a situation in the Russian con sulate, and mentioned the names of two gentlemen belonging to that office, lie also represented that his luggage was at the railway station, and having no English money to release it requested she would advance him sufficient to do so. She (Mrs. Deardon), beiievina hie representations, gave him a sovereign for the purpose of releasing his luggage, and also a valuable silk umbrella, but bad not seen the prisoner from that time until that morning, nor had the received her neve rei n or silk umbrella back.—Mr. Richardson, a lady re siding ate?, Canterbury-street, Lambeth, deposed that on the 27th July last the prisoner engaged apartments at her house, when he described himself as Pierce Donne, and said he had no English money to release his luggage, then at the Cue tom-house, and she gave him 10s. for the purpose.—Mr. Ed wards, a eentleman residing at 87, St. hiartin's lane, said that on the 29th of June last the prisoner called at hie re sidence, stated he had been obliged to leave Paris, and came from there in great haste. and that he wanted a handsome suite el apartments, aid engaged a suite in his hatee, for which he was to pay two guineas a Week. He then pre sented abandsomely engraved card as his, on which was the name Leopold Dialbosky, said he was a merchant, and had come to settle in London. lie also produced a 1,000 franc hill, which he said he had received from his father, and re quested an advance of cash to release his luggage, then de tamed at the Custoin-house, as he was without Engli.h money. lie (Mr. Edwards) handed him 21. !is., for which he left, the 1,000 franc bill in his hands, and he (lid not after wards see him until he was in custody. The bill he found to be perfectly worthless. Similar charges of swindling were proved against the prisoner by persons whom he had vic timised in the City-road, in Amwell-street, Pentonville, and in Upper Ground-street.—The prisener ',Aid that there were two c,ther Germans engaged with him; that they had been in the habit of meeting at a coffee-house in Whitechapel, and that the other parties it was who had suggested this mode of imposition sad cheat.—lle was again remanded until Tues. day next.

MEETINGS. - TIFF VALE RAILWAY.-fialryaarly Meetlisg.-Briatul, Aug. W. Coffin In the ehair.-The report of the directors commenced by stating that they felt much ',adobe tion in announcing to the proprietor* that there was a Groat' increase upon the grow; receipts for the half.yeat as compared with throe of the preceding half year. Though small it yielded * very gratitying proof of the soundness of the undertaking, at a time when the convulsions in almost all the Mates of Europe had so paralysed the export both of coal and iron. The income and ex penditure of the Aberdare Railway had been, brought nearer to each other by an increase in its gross rem Mtn of 2631. in the poet half year. The directors rt commended a dividend of 41. (free of ; income tax) on each original share of 1267. and a dividend in the same proportion on the t and 101. shares; and further,that 7.50& should be carried to the ereda 01 the depreciation fund. he works on the emit branch were so far advanced, that very sainfactory trials had been made of the efficiency of the shipping stabile and of then team crane for landing ballast. Resolutions adopting the report, eclaring the dividend as recommended by the directors and re-electing the retiring director*, were then parsed, when Mr. J. Poole, a member of the board, said that on several former occasions the directors had been charged with having made premises to the proprietary, and held out expectations which had not been realised so speedily as the shareholdere bad de clared. The result of that day's meeting had shown that the directors had not held oat those expectations without being warranted in sodding. The expectations which the board bad held out had now been rea heed, and he did not hesitate to tell the proprietors that he antici pated that they would do much more than they had dune.-Mr. T. Powell, another director, said he might claim to have served them more m a freighter tha n as a director. He was at the present time paying them Mr carriage of his coals at the rate of over 20,0001. a year, and anticipated that he should yet have to pay them a larger amount than he now paid.-Mr. Hall, in moving a vote of thanks to the director*, said when he saw that king of railways, the London and Birmingham, going back to 7 per cent., he must ray that he was gratified at the aspect of their own affairs. It should be remembered that they had not got their seven or eight millions to find the interest tor, lie tinnily avowed that he would not change a Tall Vale ,hare foe a London and Birmingham share.-The vote of thanks having been pas ql, and acknowledged by the chairman, the meeting broke up.
