Tim so-called aggregate sleeting of Roman Catho lies at Dublin, has turned out to be little snore than an adjourned session of the synod of `Chivies : or more prop( Dv of its ult m-mont ane sect ion. fur one-third only of the • Irish Catholic Bishops were present. The clerical element was first, last, and everything. The class of the laity which everywhere, and especially in Ireland, is contented to officiate as chorus on such occasions, was present in abundance; but the lormen of note and name were few, and of that few the majority remained mute. This is not to be wondered at. Men of auy spirit and intelligence —men, who, aspiring to be popular leaders. require to impress the public with a convic tion that they have a will and a way of their own— could not with safety to themselves take part in a public exhibition, where they must, of necessity, appear as the mere puppets of the priesthood. The honourable metober for Mayo was taught, experimen tally, the subordinate ear he was expected to play on the occasion ; the Primate of all Ireland" snubbed him to some tune. Mr. Moony, forgetting in the fer- ' voar of his oratory the pretence in which he spoke, indulged in a figure of speech which immediately brought down a clerical reprimand. " Public opinion in England," said Mr. Nlootte, speaking of the recep tion the iescript of Pio Nieso met with, " became one universal bull, and out-t,,iundered the thunders of ' the Vatican." It was evikent the fervid speaker was about to trespass on dangerous ground, so Arch bishop CULLEN interred at once to remind him that " he was wrong i.: he intended to intimate that the Port: was inisnical to civil liberty ;' that " wherever the catholic church prevailed there true liberty fol lowed;" and that "the Port:, as well as the bishops, were the ',rue friends of civil and religious liberty." Mr. Moon's looked unutterable things; he thought in . Naples, of Lombardy, of Rome itself; but "it was not for him to bandy opinions with his Grace," so he swallowed the retort that was rising to his lips, and went on. Scarcely however, had half-a-dozen rounded sentences been trundled over his tongue when he was again pulled up. This time there was, perhaps, some shadow of reason for the interruption. " Belgium," said Mr. Moons, " rose in insurrection, as I fear Ireland would if she could, and as I fear Ireland will some day if England's present policy continues." Dr. Cusi.:s was right to put a stop to such language ; but hav ing done so why did he allow Mr. Revsosos, with out rebuke, to say, " If pence were subscribed here to pay the fine of a bishop he believed the money would be applied to other and more unpleasant pur poses." Mr. Moons might have talked as much treason, or sedition, or incendiarism as he pleased but for his irreverent' allusion to the Vati can. That unlucky phrase had awakened the ire of the priest and interruption after interruption followed, until Mr. %anis was obliged to sit down professing in one breath implicit submission to the I ; archbishop, and re-asserting his obnoxious statement in the next. And such treatment must every Roman Catholic gentleman expect who ventures to co-operate with the priestly leaders of the "Catholic Defence Association," yet dreams of being allowed to retain or utter one free and independent opinion. The gnat, the sole cud and aim of this new league is to teach and compel the Roman Catholic laity that they are only to be allowed to see, think, and speak as the ultra-moutane party among their priest', order them. The discipline adminis tered to Mr. Moons. was in tern,rtni of all refractory lay orators. The only definite object of the associa tion announced to the meeting was the placing of lay education in the hands of, and subservient to, the priesthood. The most prominent grievance put forward wits, " The sums give at to catholic schools are, with one exception, given only un condition that the system of the schools ;which are tilled with catholic children shall be suited to the education of children of every sect who du not frequent such schools; and we are left without a catholic university." The aka of their labours was declared to be—" Our pour are to be protected from a heartless proselytism—the faith of the children, the soldier, and sailor is tube preserved —the state of our workhouses is to be examined—a catholic: education is to be obtained for our people." The Roman catholic Archbishop of AIMMiII is bent 1 urea' organising the education of Ireland on the muds' of that of Rome, and introducing into Ireland I the hoirs. - Kri oss nobwins of the capital of the States of the Church. The priestly organization to this end, which has been culled the " Catholic Defence Association" is nothing new. It existed in the time of O'CONNELL it was the it-Aroma by which he defeated and put down every man of his tarty who aspired to independence or a share in the leadership. But mink O'Coxssis lived, his form of character, or his judicious representations, kept this priestly element of his party in the back ground. Since his death the pude' prdr, of the Irish Roman Catholics are bent upon appearing to be, as well as being, the leaders of his party. We, as opposed to priestly domination of any sect or in any shape, have no reason to object to this. An organised priestly party possesses enormous political power, so lung as it is contented with secretly influencing lay politicians; but is stripped of more than half its danger when it comes forward and openly assumes the lead. Unless the CULLENS and M.llarss are struck with judicial blindness, they must already have begun to see that t h ey have made a gross blunder. The extent to which the lay Roman Catholics: and the judicious and intelligent members of their clergy stood aloof front the aggregate meeting is ominous. Lord GORMANSTON was th.' sole repre sentative of the Roman catholic aristocracy of Ire land ; Sir Tyros MosTys of the Roman Catholic aristneracy of England. The Roman catholic aristo cracy or the empire staid away from a presentiment of the treatment which Mr. MOOUE experienced; and that treatment will drive away the educated gentry. Already, too, in tlwexuberance of their fiaward ascendancy, the extreme piny of Irish priesthood leave cut true of the links which bound them to the Irish denewraey. Repeal was tacitly abjured, and solemnly interred at the aggregate meeting. 'the Catholic I /donee Association" Is ortentatiuusly ha- perial. But though we see clearly the unreal and ephe menil character of the power of this clerical associa timt, we do not deny its power to do mischief during the brief day of its existence. (hue after another the factions which since the beginning of the present century have been rending and torturing Ireland have grown old and feeble. There is no vitality, no power left in any of them. But the fatal taste for such stimulan ts survives in the Irish mind. The Irish public have contracted un habitual craving for factious excitement, and they will put up With the shadow of a faction rather than abstain from indulging it. The clerical leaders of the "Catholic I terrace Association" are ready to pander to this unhealthy craving. They speak fustian about persecution where persecution there is none. They tithed the attention of the pea sant from that industry—from those struggles for social and political improvement, which alone can better his condition anti encourage him to seek for prosperity and happiness in paths where they arc not to be found. They Batter his prejudices, in order to make hint the blind tool of their own aggrandisement. They perpetuate the aimless dis content and factious feuds of Ireland. The intelligence and patriotism of the nation—of the Roman Catholics 114 well as the Protestants—must rouse itself for is struggle against this unholy influ ence. The contest need neither be arduous nor pro longed. but watchfulness and activity are required at the outset. COUNT' lON OF LUNACV.-EXTRAORDINART DE LUnIONO.—On Tuesday a contraisNion of lunacy was held at the Star awl Garter Motel, Woreetter, before Mr. Barlow, as commissioner, and a respectable jury, to inquire into ihe state of wind of Miss Martha Walker, of Britaunia.square. Fir C. Hastings, M.D. Mr. Walsh. Mr. Picrpoint , Sir. E.

NIANCIIESTER AND SALFORD LICENSED VICTC.\L- Leaa' A 1.4011. TION.—The annual dinner in aid of the benevolent fund of this association took place on Wednes day, at Manchester. Thomas Agnew. Liu., mayor of Sal ford, occupied the chair. After the usual loyal * toasts, the Mayor gave The 'Manchester and Salford Licensed Vic tuallers Association," which was drunk with loud ap plausc. Mr. Ridings, the president of the association, in responding, said the manner in which the toast had been responded to made him feel honoured in being a member of this association. A body which paid such a vast amount of revenue to government as the licensed victuallers was not to be set down as insignificant. There were WO Of them in Manchester and Salford who paid in rent anal taxes not ]cm than 010400/. per annum—viz., 45,000 E in rent, 6,000/. for assessment, 4,540/. as income tax, 10,S00/. for licenses, 9,000/. in poor rates, and 13,200/. in local rater. Anal it was very satisfactory to know that the association was not only progressing in wealth and in rhienre but in respectability also. The mat day was their licensing slay, and there was not a single complaint against any of the members. It was afterwards stated that the benevolent fund at present amounted to 707/. lis., and that the number of subscribers was 259. A collection was made during the evening in behalf of the fund. Among the •übseribers were Messrs. Bass and Co., the eminent brewers, who made a donation of 10 guineas, anal also allowed their names to be set down for a subscription of 10 guineas per annum. The Mayor of Salford also gave a donation, of 3 guineas. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENI/4G, AUGUST 22, 1851. -__ FRANCE. PARE, Tin RIDAT Thrtinao. M. Leon Faucher I , ls resumed his duties as Minister of the Inttrior. The Mo:.itettr contains a report from General Rar.- don, Minister at War, to the President of the Its. üblic, of the recent campaign in Algeria, under General St. Arnaud, of which the following is an abstract: Me describes at great length the military operations in Kabylia in consequence of the instructions issued to the as stated by the minister at governor-general of Algeria on the 14 th of Marc h last. The object of those instructions, war, were, Ist. To insure complete security to the high road from Phillippeville to Constantine to the inhabited dis tricts situated upon that road, and to the agricultural estab lishments M the valley of Safsaf. This part of the opera- Cons rendered it necessary to reduce to submission Duca (Suable and the tribes established between Collo and Phil lippeville. 2nd. To force the blockade of Djidjelli to be raised, and, by the submission of the Kabyles of the sur rounding country, to establish communications between Djidjelli and Milah ; to organize an (Ancient authority ever those tribe', and to ascertain what advantage could be drawn from the influence of France with the Marabout Moula-Chokfa. 3rd. To put an cad to the dangers which threatened the domains situated in the valley of Itoumel, at but a short distance from Constantine. To realise this object it was desirable to strengthen the command of the brothers Ben-Aueddin, in the Zouagha, to the north of Metals. 4. To increase the influence of the Sheik Bou-Akkaz on the south-west of Djidjelli, and to give a decisive signification to the advances which that chief had lately made to the general commanding the province of Constantine. The results of General St. Arnaud's campaign, according to the minister at war, have been that the valley of Outd-Guebli is tranquil : that the colonies and agricultural establish ments on the road from Phillipperille to Constantine have no longer anything to fear from the armies of the Kabyles whose mountains command that great line of communica tion ; that an intelligent and active police, appointed by native chiefs, will suffice to prevent and repress the isolated robberies or acts of brigandage which may he committed; and that the town of Collo has been placed in a state of security against the attacks of the mountaineers, and con fided to the government of an energetic Caid. The town of Collo is a seaport, which is expected to become a market for the oils of all the neighbouring mountains. The further results are stated to be that the blockade of Djidjelli has been raised; the neighbouring tribes entirely overcome, those nearest the town obeying the French go vernment directly, and the others submissive to the Mar about Moula-Chokfa, who seems, without mental reserva tion to have devoted the full power of his religious influence to the French cause. Communications have been opened from Djidjelli to Constantine and to Setif. The markets of Pjidjctli already enjoy the benefits of the new situation. A productive bed of coral has been discovered between Djidjelli and Bougie. The domains below Milah, in the valley of Hammel, are tranquil. The brothers Ben-Azzeddin, ' whose influence has been rendered much more powerful, WIC in the must entire dependence upon the French govern merit Forty new tribes have submitted to the French. The report stags that these result have been obtained with oat any increase in the effective force of the army, and without any expense. The native tribes have cheerfully paid the tax levied for the campaign. The loss of the French army has been 13 officers killed and 42 wounded ; and 176 noncommissioned officers and privates killed, and 74t wounded. At the head of the list of a fresh batch of Cheva liers of the Legion of llonour, created yesterday, is a lady named Bruton, who enjoys the rank of a lieute nant of Invalides, and whose long military history is probably without a parallel in Amazonian annuls. She is the daughter, the sister, and the widow of a soldier. Iler two brothers died un the field of battle in Italy. Ile husband was killed at Ajaceio in 1791. The following year she entered, at the age of 21, in the 42nd Regiment, in which her father was serving. She was allowed to remain, although her sex was known, and she made seven campaigns between the years 1792 and 1799, rising through the several gra dations of fusilier, corporal, quarter-muster-corporal, and sergeant. In 1;94 she commanded a de tachment of her regiment, and repulsed an attack upon the fort of Uesco, on which occasion she was iwoundid in each urns. Afterwards, at the siege of Calvi, she received so severe a wound in the left leg that she w as disabled, and on the 24th Frimaire, 1799, she was admitted into the Hospital of the Invulides. She received front Louis X's 111. an officer's commission, in these word;:—" This day, Oct. 2,1522, the King being in Paris, having full con fidence in the valour, good conduct, and fidelity of Madame Angßigne-Marie-Joseph Ducheruin, Widow Brulon, his Majesty has contiTrisl upon her the honorary title of sub-lieutenant of Invalides, to take rack from this day. His Majesty desires that his' general and other officers to whom it may appertain, will recognise Madame Duchemin, Widow Bruton, iu this capacity." Lieutenant Widow Brulon, chevalier of the Legion of honour, is now $1) years old. The Prince de Joinville has, I believe, kiositively declined to be a candidate fur the vacant scat in the de partment of the Seine. With regard to his intentions respecting the presidency of the republic, there can be no doubt that they were expressed by . authority in the letter of M. Roger (du Nord). This candida ture still continues to be the leading topic of news paper polemics. the Committee of Permanence met to-day at 12 o'clock, at the National Assembly. M. Lacrosse pre sided. There was no discussion. The connaittet au thorised those of its members who belong to the councils-general to leave I'uris, and then adjourn till Thursday, Sept. 4. Yesterday there were two more press prosecutions. M. Stumm, the editor of the &otiatoe, a mutt between 110 and 70 years of age, formerly a member of the Constituent Assembly, and the hither of the Parisian press, is condemned to six months' imprisonment and a tine of $O/. The offence was an article in which i he exposed, in strong language, the ill treatment of the political prisoners at - Belle-Isle, and enforced his arguments by reprinting a letter from Louis Napo leon when at Ifain, in which the latter, though en joying comparative comfort and luxury, complained bitterly of the humiliation and inconvenience to which he was subjected. The strongest expression in which the libel of which M. Sarrans was accused, was that of a slaughter-house, "abattoir," as applied to the prisons at Belle-Isle. This was pounced upon by the Advocate-General, M. SaM, who is always on the look out, and forthwith twisted into the crime of "exciting to hatred and contempt of the govern ment of the republic," for which M. Sinning was indicted. The jury found him guilty, and, al though they gave him the benefit of " extenuating: circumstances,"thereby signifying that,although a libel in law, the article was harmless in their opinion, this old man—a man of mild and amiable manners, universally beloved and respected—and moreover not habitually a violent political writer, is to go to prison for six months—to that prison whither some ten or twelve of his brethren, some of the most able and distinguished writers in I'aris, have already pre ceded him. The new law of signatures, whereby the writer of every article is made directly respon sible for it, is no relief to the registered editor. M. Paul Coq, the g. , reuit of the Sethaios, although he was ill in bed when the article appeared, was in• eluded in the indictment, and is sentenced to three months imprisonment and 2,000 fr. fine. The marriage of M. Boulay (de la Meurthe), vice president of the republic, was celebrated the day before yesterday at Proving. The President of the Republic, in imitation of royal usages, was present by proxy, in the person of a stall' officer, sent to represent him. The .lltestqpr says : About thirty reprmentatives, belonging to the Mountain, are in a few days to take their departure 24 Loudon. A banquet is to be given to them by the French mid Italian refugees there. The principal object of their journey is to come to some understanding as to the candidate whom they ought to support fur the office of President of the Republic: The different fractions of the Left have at present ten committees at work. The following is the list, commencing by eh,: moat moderate:-1. Committee of the Constitution (Goudehaux-Carnignae shade) ; 2. Committee of the main (shade of Mathieu de la Drome) ; 3. Committee of the Twenty-five (shade of Michel de Bourn Polyglot Committee 'o ; 4. Committee of the Excluded (shade of Colfavru) : 5. (called the French-Italian-Spaniah); 6. Committee of Resistance (called that of the Bulletins); 7. Committee of the Conclave (shade Vasbenter-Dulac) ; 8. Committee of the Refugees (shade of I..edru•Rollin and Mazzini) ; 9. Committee of the Luxembourg (shade of Louis Blanc) ; and Pa Committee of the Densocr.stieal Refugees at London (shade of Crouzier, Clidat, Chanted, Gouti., and 'Whin). - At the Bourse to-day the Five per Cents. fell 10c., and closed at 93.35 ; and the Three per Cents. fell 1.3 c., closing at 47.23. SPAIN. A Madrid letter of the 16th says: " M. Leopold Auguste de Cuelo, ex-minister of Spain to the Court of Denmark, left yesterday for France. having been chosen by the Minister of Foreign Affairs to nego tiate with the French government, in concert with another Spanish diplomatist, M. T. de Bouligni, the settlement of some old disputes, :is to the interpreta tion to be if'Fen to a treaty concluded between 1: ranee and Spain in 1824, on the subject of maritime Cap tures made by the two countries." GERMANY, The German sovereigns are again on the move for the purpose of coming together and giving to the world new- editions of Olmiitz and Warsaw confet , cues. Bregentz is again announced to be the spot , where the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Austria are to meet. It is said that the King of Ba varia has invited the King of Prussia to Munich. Meanwhile the latter is on a journey to Hohen zollern, and his first visit on leaving Berlin has been to the King of Hanover. M. de Manleufkl was there too, and had some interviews with mi nisters of the King. These visits may have been led to by the internal state of Hanoverian poli ties and the hostile positions in which the King and his nobles are placed but this can only be partially an object. King Frederick William cannot have done much, for his stay was short. On the nth ho was at Cologne, and left that city en rook for the Hohenzollern principalities. lie rested nt Coblenz on the 18th. Our correspondent writes as follows : FRANKFORT-ON-TILE-MAINE, AUG. 19. This morning, at 10 o'clock, the old free city in I which two yearn ago the people of Germany discussed na tioenal questions in a national parliament, was honoured by a visit from the same monarch whom the majority of that parliament elected to the imperial throne of Germany. this circumstance, connected us it must he in the king's mind with the recollection of his own weakness, or perhaps worse, caused it to be supposed that his majesty would avoid entering the city. Arrangements, accordingly, were made that the troops in garrison should he paroled outside the city, close to the railway etation, within which his Ma jesty was to receive the diplomatic, military, and civic authorities resident here. Late last night orders arrived announcing that the king would enter the city, review the troops on the Itoesmarkt, a large open equate, in front of the hotel d'Angletcrre, within which apartments had (wen hastily fitted up for the reception of those who were to he honoured by an audience. the king baldly gulped dowel his own ungenial recollections, or perhaps imagined that he was doing a fit penance for former offences by rousing them to greater force. Bile Majesty came this morning from Mayence, where ho did exactly the same as he has done here to-day, reviewed troops received gentlemen in variously cut coats , all w ith stiff collars, and more or less splendidly decorated with gold lace. On his arrival at the Fraellfort terminus of the Taunus railway he was received by a Prussian guard of honour, General ltochow, Baron Dionark, °lateral Schiller ling (Austrian), the commander of the united garrison, and his stuff, being in attendance. The Prussian barrack, with in a stone's throw of the terminus, was gaily decorated with flowers, evergreens, flags, eagles, and especiully with a plaster of Paris bust of the King, surnioanted by a wreath of laurels. The royal cortege, followed by a mass of staff-ofhcere, rode rapidly to the Roes markt, passing down the lines of the Austrian, nava rian, and Frankfort battalions, which were drawn up round the square. The Prussian battalion had been drawn up in front of the military etation and inspected. Having in spected the stationary lines and troops, they were put in minion and marched past the king. First of all come the Prussians, whose compact order, exactitude of line, and peculiar style of march, redounds to the credit of their drill-masters. With colours flying, music playing, they marched past, followed by the Austrians. There is leas of the martinet neatness and regularity about the Austrian than the Prussian troops, but their appearance is soldier like, and full of promise of service. Then CAM' the Basra rhino, who really deserved to be sent to the "awkward squad" for somewhat more than a month. Two months' drill could hardly bring their disordered serpentine lines, awkwardly - handled musket', to a military shipshape. The Frankfort battalion, being the whole army of a commercial city, ought not to be compared with the well-disciplined troops of the larger and militarily governed states, but they certainly put the Bavarians to the blush. Having thus inspected and paraded the whole gar rison, the King entered the hotel, where the diplomatic terns were waiting audience. These gentlemen, together with the officers, were thus honoured, and after an hour's stay within the city, the King quitted, without venturing to appear upon the balcony, beneath which half the popula tion of Frankfort were collected. The reception given to the King of Prussia was very cool indeed. There was no cheering at all, and but few indivi duals testili al their respect by removing their hats. The Prime of Prussia and Baron Manteuffel travel with the King. From Frankfort the royal train proceeds, with stopping, to Dartustadt, where a delay of several hours takes place to receive the hospitality of the Grand Duke. From Darmstadt the train proceeds at once to Baden, where the King will remain until the 21st inst. The moment the royal party enters linden all the usual royal ceremony will be dispensed with, and a strict ince:nolo observed. The royal name and title will be dropped for that of the Count of Zollern. I must now turn to a subject of more importance than a royal visit or imperial birthday. On Saturday last the Eugene-Rath had a sitting, in which the reconciliation between the Austrian and Prussian cabinets was evinced by the re-introduction of the question respecting the compe tency of the Diet to interfere with the constitutions of the states composing the confederation. 1 have mentioned before that the smaller states have girded up their loins to oppaee the attacks on their independence which lie hidden beneath the general tent's of the motion which Austria and Prussia have submitted to the consideration of the Diet, and the decision on which was delayed by the interruption of the good understanding between those two powers. It was again brought forward on Saturday, and I am told that, after a hard fight, the opposition succeeded in partly defeating it. The motion was withdrawn, for the purpose of giving time to the proposers to specify more par ticularly the cases in which they think the intervention of the Diet called fur, and its competency desirable. On Thursday next the question will be discussed again. lam told Olaf the representatiee of Hanover, Baron Scheele, is among the foremost of the opposition. TURKEY. The K;lner Zeitmey says that its advices from Vienna of the lath inst., announce the appearance of a British fleet,under Admiral Parker,otrfunis, which event, says the same paper, has made a profound sensation ut Vienna, for it is thought to have sonic connection with Lord Palmerston's speech on Oriental titbit's,. It is kticum at Vienna that France is not likely to interfere, and that Sardinia is too much under British influence even to propose a mediation. As fur Austria, the Vienna papers confess that she is not in a condition to oppose an armed resistance to any of the measures of the British Cabinet. Hence, it is presumed, that Admiral Parker will, be at liberty to bombard Tunis, unless indeed the lies were to submit and acknowledge the sovereignty of the Porte. The most important feature in this case, adds the K;lnerZeitung, is the conviction which makes its way into the diplomatic circles, of England being determined to uphold the authority of the Porte whenever that authority may be questioned or assailed. The Vienna statesmen are, moreover, afraid that the Protectorate of England will induce the Sultan to comply with Lord l'ulmerston's wishes re specting the Hungarian refugees. TOUR.: AND NANTES RAILWAY.—The remaining section of this line from Angers to Nantes was opened on Monday. Two trains from Paris, conveying about 1,000 visitors, arrived at Nantes. An altar was erected for the Bishop of Nantes and his clergy to pronounce the usual benediction. Opposite the altar, at the other end of the Nantes terminus, four gigantic statues were erected repre senting Industry, Manufactures, Agriculture, and Com merce. The sides were occupied with extensive galleries fur the accommodation of such persons as were provided with tickets. Flags, trophies, and garlands of evergreens and flowers were hung about in profusion, interspersed with escutcheons bearing the names of the departments through which the line of railway from Nantes to Paris passes. At about 4 o'clock the troops of the line and the National Guard marched into the terminus, and took up their stations. In the meantime all We galleries had been densely filled with' elegantly dressed ladies, and the crowd of people that had collected on the ground was immense. Soon after the mi litity had assumed the stations allotted to them the bishop, attended by a very large body of the clergy, arrived on the ground. The only minister present was M. Magnc, the Mi nister of Public tt orks ; he was accompanied by the Pre fect. When the Te Delon had been sung the bishop deli vered a discourse, in which he alluded to the advantages likely to arise from the opening of the railway, and forcibly pointed out the paramount necessity of the preservation of order, without which no human enterprise could prosper, and concluded by invoking the blessing of Heaven on the undertaking. 'I he engines which had brought down the trains from Paris were then driven up bide by side on the four lines of rails in front of the altar. The bishop then • descended from the altar, and, headed by his clergy,walked in procession round the locomotives, sprinkling them and the rails with holy water. At the conclusion of the cere mony a grand banquet was given, which concluded the pros ceedings of the day.' Mu. THOMPSON on Wednesday evening met Pt large body of his constituents in the Manor Rooms, Hack ney, fur the purpose of explaining to them the causes of his late abience from England. The hon. gentleman having done this in words similar to those reported in our columns on a recent occasion, Mr. Goswell moved "That, the meet ing baring heard with pleasure the statement of Mr. Thompson, with respect to his late prolonged stay in Ame rica, and deeply sympathising with his zealous labours in behalf of the slave in that country, expressed their satis faction therewith, and pledged themselves to support him lat the next election." After some explanations, the reso lution was carried almost unanimously, only nine hands having been held up against it. The meeting broke up at half-past ten o'clock, having sat three hours. ASsAssINATION AT A 8A1.1...—At a ball recently given at St. Sebastian, while a young lady, the daughter of highly respectable persons, was dancing a polka with a gentleman of Madrid, an officer of the engineers came close to the dancers, and stabbed the young lady to the heart. Her death was instantaneous. In the confusion the assassin escaped, and, it is said has since poisoned biassed. Zbe Court. OSBOItNE, TIIVRSDAT, Aro. 21.

EDINBURGII, THURSDAY. Official intimation baying been received front CoL Gordon, Equerry in Waiting to ills ltuyal Ilighntss l'rinee Albert, that her Majesty will arrive at llolyruod I'alace on • the afternoon of Thursday next, at about three o'clock, on her way to her " highland home " at Balmoral, the autho rities here are busy making the necessary arrangements for the reception of the royal party. These will not be on any ' thing like the extensive scale of those of last year, the cir cumstance of her Majesty then coming to reside ler the first time in the ancient palace of the metropolis of Scotland, coupled with the laying of the foundation stone of the National Oallcry for the promotion of the Fine Arts, by l'rince Albert, having contributed to render the last visit one of more than ordinary interest. In addition to this, I it is alio understood that her Majesty is desirous that there should be no public display uu the occasion of the fortheuni ing visit, wishing to be received in the quietest manner passible. The Lord Provost and the sherilluf the county have accordingly resolved to consult the wishes of her Majesty in any arrangements which they may make. No hustings are, we understand, to be erected on the route of the royal party front the railway station at Meaduwbank, which is about half a mile from the palace at Ilulynsod ; and only a few yards of barricade will be erected at the various avenues to the palace yard, to prevent crowds col lecting iu front of the palace. Last year the duty of escorting her Majesty from the railway station to Itulyruod was entrusted to the ltuyal Company of Archers, the Queen's body guard for Scotland ; this year, however, this honour is to be assigned to the high constables of the City. We understand that one reason for this alteration is that her Majesty, on her former visit, cx. pressed a fear that by having the (ltuyal Company of Archers fur her escort, she was suojecting many gentlemen to great personal inconvenience, as some of those belonging to this body were located in distant parts of the kingdom. The route of the royal party to llolyrood from Meadow bank station, is to be lined by the Enniskillen Dragoons, stationed at Fiershill barracks, and the li:frd Infantry, lying in the Castle. To-day the directors of the North British Railway Com ny are to proceed to make their preparations fur her Majesty's reception at Meadowbank. These will be similar to those of List year. A temporary plaU'urni is to be erected, about 100 feet long, slightly elevated above the rails, with two spacious flights of steps leading to the road opposite l'arson's-green, where the royal carriages will be drawn up to convey the royal party to Itolyrood. Her Majesty only stays fur the night at llolyrood, leav ing next morning at eight o'clock fur Balmoral, proceeding by the same route as that of last year. Various rumours are afloat as to the time she may spend at llolyrood on her way south early in October, but these are only idle speculations at present. At all event, it is pretty certain that there is no likelihood whatever of a levee being held at liolyrood on that occasion, as has been conjectured; far the truth is that considerable alterations would require to be made in the building to admit of that taking place with safety. It may lie stated here, that the statue of her Majesty, which is being executed in freestone by Mr. Ilandyside Ititehie, the celebrated sculptor, is well nigh completed, the right hand only requiring to be cut out, and some huishing touches given to it. Workmen are busily am played in erecting the pedestal in the l'alace-yard for its reception ; and the sculptor confidently expects to have it elevated on Friday or Saturday next, and all finished by the I:Gth, two days before her Majesty's arrival. The statue is a striking likeness of her Majesty, who is represented standing in her rubes of other, and is ten and a half feet in height. The imdc.tal, which has on each of its four sides a figure in relict, representing one of the four season., is nine and a half feet high, so that the statue, when raised to its position, will be twenty feet in height. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. TIIIS DAY. OLD COURT. Bamae MIL )caeca WIWITNIAN. Two hole, awned Upton and Gultcritlye, &Red respre. tively 13 and It, plcatkd guilty to a charge of feloniously placing a stone upon the Eastern Counties Ilailway, with intent to throw a certain engine off the line. Mr. nallantine, who appeared for the prosecution, said that the act to which the defendants had pleaded guilty was one of a most serious characti r, and might have been attended with very calamitous consetiuences. It appeared that the prisoners had placed a stone in the machinery of the points to as to prevent them front acting properly, and if it had not been discovered, the approaching train must have been turned Of the line, and the lives of the passengers of course seriously endangered. He was afraid that the proceeding of the prisoners would not be attributed to mere mischief, for Upton had been working in an engineer's shop, and was perfectly well aware of what would be the cunsequence of inter fering with the points in the way he had stated, and he was also fearful that bop like the prisoners were instruments in the hands of discontented persons, who entertained ani• mosity towards the company, in consequence of their having been defeated in the strike that took place upon the line a short time back. Mr. Spicer, who appeared for the prisoucrs, said he was instructed that they had nut placed the stone on the point, hut merely upon the rail, and their object was to see if the engine would crush the stone. Mr. Ilallantine here produced a large stone, which he stated was the one made use of upon the occasion. Mr. Spicer denied that this was the stone, and raid he was informed that the one really made use of was much smaller. A witness was called, who stated that he saw the pri soners drop the stone that had been produced into the point, the effect of which would hare been to throw the engine off the line. Sentence was pubtponed. LAW INTELLIGENCE. THIS DAY. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Biros' Ma. CuMNINIONIK EOM IN KC NOCK ANL/ WILLIAMS. This was a meeting for the choice of assignees under the estate of the above baukrupts, who were extensive jewellers in Frith-street, Soho. Mr. Teague appeared as solicitor fur the petitioning creditor. and Mr. Lowrance and Mr. Evans fur creditors. The liabilities are understood to amount to about 26,0001., of which upwards of 10,0001. were proved at this meeting. The assignees chosen were Mr. Thomas, of Gresham street, accountant ; and Mr. 11. Churman, of Beak-street, diamond-merchant, Mr. Maynard, of bread-street, was 'appointed to prepare the balance-sheet, Oa an application by the bankrupts for an allowance, ob jection was made by a creditor, who complained of miscon duct on the part of Nock, and said he had two families to support. His Honour said that was not the proper time to com plain of the bankrupt's misconduct, nor was star vation the proper punishment. The law required a bankrupt to prepare his accounts ; and how could he do so in the state of utter destitution to which the bank ruptcy code supposed him to be reduced. No one was more anxious to punish mercantile misconduct than he was ; bat he did not sit there to try moral conduct, except in so far as it affected a man's conduct as a trader. lte would make an allowance out of the estate of 31. 10s. a week. SVICIDF. Ix PARIS.—OIt Monday an elderly gen tleman, and wearing the ribbon of the Legion of Honour, entered the shop of M. Lefaucheux, the gun smith, in the rue Vivienne, Paris, and purchased a brace of pistols, which he ordered to be sent to his hotel. While M. Lefaucheux was giving some explanations as to tho pistols, he was struck with the wild manner and appearance of his customer, and thinking that if he contemplated using the weapons fur the purpose of committing suicide a diffi culty in loading them might perhaps give him time for reflection, he ordered the man to take a ramrod which ' would not suit the barrels. lle even thought of commu nicating his suspicions to the commissary of police of the quarter, hut, going out for a short time, he found on his return that the gentleman had sent back to change the ramrod. Yesterday morning the irommissary of police of the section of the Place Maubert came to M. Lefaucheux with the pistols, aad said that the purchaser had committed suicide with them at an hotel in the Rue des Moyers. The gentleman turns out to be a M. de M.—, ex-governor general of Martinique. A long letter was found in his room, in which lie speaks of events hi which he had been mixed up, and strongly expresses his disgust with life. To this letter was annexed his will, in which he disposes of his property in a very singular manner. Among other legacies, he orders 1001. to be given to the first sergent de vine who should enter his room after his suicide. SIIItEWSLIVRY AND HEREFORD RAILWAY—A meeting of the directorihas just bean held for the promotion of this line.

EXTENSIVE FIRE IN CL.lB6otV.—On Ws dn. sol .3 morning, about 4 o'clock, a very destructive tire lo t .:, .., in the extensive stores of Messrs.

It is very slat usive. and was filled with cotton; sahib , , on the north. is situate ol •'-• weed-yard of Mr. Fotheriegliain,—a contiguity .0 did not lessen the alarm. Fortran itely, however, ths a., sustained in the case of either of the last-meutieno ol pectic.* is trifling.

About 10 of these explosions took places, ss lads must have been heard at a great distance.

NIANsf-tucifirtin.— Yesterday a carman, named Daniel Tubitt, was committed to Newgate, front the ratty sessions at Twickenham, on the charge of manslaughter, having caused the death of a child named Cornelius Do arrow, by leaving his horse and cart in a road unattende , !.
