EAST SURREY REOISTRATION.—The revising bar rister held his court yesterday at thkworkhouse comenitice room, Eurell-street, Bermondsey, td revise the hats foe the parishes of St. Saviour, St. Juba, St. Ohne, St. Thomas, and St. George, Southwark, St. Mary, ltothcrhithe, and Ber niondeey. The same agents attended as at the previous court. The revising hamster gave his judgment tenon the ease of Dr. Biter, the minister of Trinity Church, Roehamp , ton, whoa vote was obj• cted to by the liberal agent, and which steed over from the Wandsworth list. He said that in this car Dr. Biter a ,aimed to vote in reopen of freehold pew rents, and the ground of objeetion to his vote was a suggestion that the pg muts which wen made might be voluntary. He had looked into the act of parliament under which the reverend gentlemea bad been appointed to see how the matt-r rosily stood, and the result was that there did net appear to be the 'lightest ground for supposing that the paymeuts were voluntary. He was, theref re, of opinion that the objection could not he sustained. The name was then placed upon the list. The lists of the several parishes were afterwards gme through, and this concluded the Mal one atlas present revision. FRENCH NATIONAL GUARDS AT THE WHITTING TON CLTe.—A few evenings since a party of ten of the Pa• 'Wan National Guard., en grand ,- tense, made their appear ance unexpectedly at t he Whittington Club. They were in. trodend by one of their countrymen, a member of the ins* mica.

The schools area very extensive and handsome pile of bindings is the Etizabethan style of architecture, and are situated at the corner of Johnston-street, Back-road, Bt. Georgein-the-Eut. LIGHTING BY ELECTRICITY.—In the comae of the gym* lecture at the Western Literary Institution, Lei mierequarer, last eveniner, some experiments were exbi hied of • new mode of lighting by means of electricity, *Mhos far as we could judge from appearances, were en- Moly easetestul. The inventors of the new method are Mum Zak and Petrie, and their mode of operation is to awes the electric current to pan through two pines of charcoal in suet a manner se to exclude any portion of the ettasepherk air. The light produced is intense and beauti ful, producing the effect of daylight to a much greater extant than the lime UAL and having this advantage, that it is awaked and continuous, while the former lasts but a kw moments. The inventors expect to apply it generally to "2:::d street illumiaation, and state that while the t " will cost no more than gas, the expense of Ina will be only one-twelhh of the price of the latter disPisiiiiist, that it his made still more con. vets to the side of mercy. At the same time apprehenaion has not abated, and many-flyiog rumours stoutly hold out for the full severity of the sentence. It Is said that the whim opinion should of all others have most wei tin the matter still adheres to the conviction that a terrible example is necessary ; but that personage is, I feel persuaded, too wise and too politic to recommend any course which should tend to revolt or alienate public feeling. That would indeed be inconsistent with himself. There will be held to-morrow ; Preliminary meet ing of person anxious to enforce the recommendation of the jury in Mr. O'Brien's awe, at the residence of Mr. It. D. Webb, a gentleman of well-recognised philanthropy, and a member of the Society of Friends. An additional police force hu been sent to Bush*, Tipperary, when the three murders were perpetrated on Satu rd ay lest. The townland most bear the bur den of their maintenance. With respect to the trials of Mr. Meagher and Mr. O'Dotioghue, the Clonal correspondent of the Free man writes : Mr. Mragher will not be brought up foe some der ' as I mentioned to you in my last note . The crown is still hunt ing for evidence, not whhiog again to produce D Akin. The active pursuit they have been engeged in fur the past week more than amply 'elutes the calumnies so industriously cir culated agai st the peasantry. to the effect that they were tendering the inform. is evidence for the inlormer's wages in such crowds that the crown knew not whom to select. Several most respectable in moos have recently been sum moned, amongst them a must respectable Protestant clergy man,. to whom it is intimated that his evidence would be required. Mr. P. O'Donogltue will probably be arraigned to morrow. The solicitor.general begins his reply at the opening of the court, after which gr. Justice Doherty charges the jury. The jury cannot retire to consider thew verdict before three o'clock. The King's County Chronick nye : Mr. Armitage, collector of poor•retes, Proceeded with a party of bailiffs, on Satuadly last, to the house of one Costoloe, in the immediate vicinity of Cloughjordan, and demanded the amount of his rent.

MVIIDEN IN TIPPERAIII.—A man named John CUTOII, residing at Rosen., has been murdered under mysterious circumstances, and by whom at present unknown. It appears that on Wednesday last, he and his brother, William Candi, with some other pencns, were in the village of Dunkerrin, and were drink ing in the publio•house of Adam Weafor, whoa they wi re j4IIICI by two sweeps, named John aut' Michael Cirty, with whom they had a quarrel. Cot,stable Whelan had the parties arrested, kept them in custody until they became sober, when they were brought before a magistrate, who discharged them, after which the Carroll* again returned to Wesfor's house. They drank whiskey to excess, and did not leave it until halt put ten o'clock, when they proceeded to the house of James Canty, of Clashagad, their brother-in-law. The statement of Cawly is, that the deceased, John Carroll, and his brother William, reached his bolus on Wednesday night between eleven and twelve o'clock. A knock was given at the doer. Ile got up and opened it, when the deceased fell upon the floor. Ills brother raised him up. A light was procured, and it was then found that he was cut on the head and bleeding very much. When asked what had happened to him, he said he could not tell, Nigel% his brother William could. The assistence of another brother and some other persons was procured, and the unfortunate man, after being washed, was ,ut to bed. He n poke after. On the hllowing evening ha was attended by Dr. Powell, of Rosa a, but he died about ten o'clock that night. An inquest was held on Saturday, when a verdict was returned of wilful murder against some person or persons unknown. The deceased was a person of bed character, and a terror to well.dispi sod per sons in the district where he resided. We have not heard any cause assigned for the eommieaion of this murder. 11 11 k; . n ,_ .

The second portion is of the MS width. the stone being Mount Sorrel granite, from ledeestenlaire. The two next portions are to be of the ease deseriptions of granite, the tamer of three-inch square, and the latter portion, or south al of the street, is to be three incites by Ave. As than deem will be comparatively small, Mr. Chadwick, the easemMer, will lay them on a deep b ed of easerete. The general *aka of scientific men is that the ,ferar.lasik Aberdeen granite wul prove to be the beat, affording a rougher surface and a better hold for the foot of the horse than the three-inch. The Mount Sorrel stone, which Is of a reddish colour, occupies a place between the Aberdeen sad Onernst7 granite for hardness and will, when worn, from its extreme hardness, become slippery.

IRELAND. THE SPECIAL COMMISSION. CLONMEL, Ocr. 11. TRIAL or M'Maters.—At the sitting of the court this morning the Attorney General said that en allusion having been made on the previous evening to the Hoe and Cry, and the evidence of the witness having stated that the prisoner'. name was in it on the 22ed of July, he thought it right he should be called again, for he had evidently laboured under a wrong impression. Head Constable Crowley was then called, and deposed that when he maid July, on the previous evening, he meant August AU. Butt, Q.C., then proceeded to address the jury. Howell knew that Amon every thing,exieted calculated to prejudice a jury goin.- into that bee to try scan like the present; because hawurablenten naturally felt indignant that an attempt should beamed., under any pretence, to disturb the public peace. He asked them to guard against mach impresaions—against any resentment that might be impressed on their made, until they actually weighed the evidence adduced before them and pronounced their impartial judgment upon it. He asked them to bear in mind the principle of British law, that a prisoner must be found guilty of the precise charge him, and no other. They may believe Lb conduct let his conduct be even worse than wicked—until they mad say that he was guilty of the precise charge in the ind istmmi ' they could not find him guilty. The next principle was, thotba a r aip 2s im e foundail co S era u the evidence, and on the evklemee t had heard or known should be ex ist/id tuna their *II ; and, nukes they could lay their Milk their hearts and say be was guilty aeseediag to the edame only, they must acquit the geleekr The Imbed gentleman then referred to the kabinet The le the hit that the treason was charged in six different *sae, I sod *weeded t — Perhaps it would not be necessity for him le trouble the jury with any remarks upon the sixth count elf the indictment. The Att o rney-General stated that it was the Intention of the crown to re/y upon the first five counts only. He tio would withdraw the sixth count. Mr. Bate w•skl then have only to address himaelf to the somidelegfieseseate, which charged the prisoner with having levied user twinkler Majesty. The learned counsel having reed that parties of the statute of Edward the Third, by which it is soested " that if a man levies war against the Lord ear May in his realm, and thereof be moveably attain ted of egos and by pelvis of his own condition," and commented ea it, peso led to apply the kw on each count of the indict ment. The first count consisted of a general charge of levy kg war, and four distinct overt acts were set oat in of that charge, vis., the mucking of an mend multitude of above 600 pawns through the country lie ar : ie rrtieuhr day in Jul hest; the visit to the police at Mullinahou; t he erection of a barricade at Hillenaule ; and the attack upon the police at Farrinrory. The jury should take each set by itself and say upon their evils whet st the prisoner had actually levied war. Their mike Mid be pronounced upon each act. He denied that halal kited war. They should form their verdict upon each east, mul *km *ay weld put their hand upon ono or more of the sea sad my upon their oaths with the tre mendous sekir eta heather's life at sties, that it was =ay ef lII* they Wad Elle eureka the prisoner.

They was not to Inquire whether at 1 a future the prime Intended to levy war, but who- I thee ha • asleep levy war at the very time stated in the indictment. They might believe that traitorous designs were intended by some of the party who were concerned in the transactions charged, and who wished to escape arrest in order to carry out those designs et afa Are time. That wu not the question. The question was, if the insurrection were directed to the attainment of a generzd object of • treasonable character. He (Mr. Batt) contended that they could not here construe what the prisoner did at Mullinahone by his speech at Liverpool. All the evidence adduced agat his client was perfectly ukelele, unless it fixed the cha ra cter of the offence kid in the indictment ; and the speeches at Liverpool and the letter of Mr. O'Brien which had been read, were not only utterly valueless, but al ether calculated to mislead the jury, unless it was shown to them that they rstima to and bore upon the counts, crony we of the vocals, contained in the indictment. And he *mimed he saw its other way for them to do their duty to their emery sad their fellow creature in the dock, than akini the eels given in evidence by themselves, sou to judge of BM sepentely, and say If those sets sta. d alone in the ladistimmt, and that the prisoner did those acts, he wee guilty of the Moos elm of high treason. Now lee wouldomma to the Netraed he begged pardon of the judges, he begged pardon of the jury if, before he come to comment on those acts, he reminded them that of those acts they and they alone (the jury) were the Judges, and be did so in order that they might give him their undivided attention whilst he commuted on the facts before them. He did not DUBLIN, OCT. U. know the opiaions of the learned judges who on this °cue The tone of the English journals respecting the sem premised ask those matters of fact ; but if ou the merle ultimate fate of Mr. SmithO'Brien has given great si g n a th il cam OM, m at t e hi" oede uP their egad@ Dot to convict his client or the heinous offence charged confidence to those amongst us who lean to the side of against him, and Hefter the charge of the learned judge who mercy.

He now witnesses, manifests such considerate goodness of came to the evidence that bad been adduced on this trial— evidence on which they (the jury), and they aloes, were to make up their minds; and before he went to particular facts, ha thought it right to allude to the general evidence offered in this cm:, and which might unfairly and improperly influence their mind'. Suppose they were to believe that his diked made a traversable spores in Liverpool, that was not the geestion they had t try. By no means. They mast take the indictment in their hands ; outside that indictment they were not to go. The erudition for them, then. was this—not, did his eivat make a treasonable speech at Liver- pool, bet did his client levy war against the Queen in Neill nations ? Suppose they heard matters relative to this ease I elsewhere, that had nought to do with the question; but they should have their mince clear on the point that the counts in the indictment were sufficiently proved. What, he asked them, had the speech in Liverpool of the 6th of June to do with explaining the transactions in the county Tippe rary in July ? He contended that it hod nothing to do whatever with the subject, and they should therefore con clude that the counts in the indictment were fully borne out by the evidence before they brought in a verdict of guilty against his cleat. The acts should be unequivo cal. They could not aumise, but feel convinced that there bad been an actual levying of war. The prisoner denied that he was a chartist, and relied upon the fact that the meeting at which he spoke was a repeal and not a char. tilt meeting. The observations which he made bad refe rence to tenant -right in Ulster, and his words were, " If the repeal of the union were carried, an Irish parliament would secure to the tenant the tenure of his land, and every man would have a pi , es of ground which he could call his own. end that cause was worth struggling or fighting for." The learned counsel then referred to the circumstance of the words being omitted in the examinations of the second witnev, who deioitil to the words of the prisoner before the grand jury. He (Mr. Bu.t) had attempted to get a list of the wit nesses to be examined on this trial, a privilege to wl.ich the prisoner would have been entitlea if tried in England. It had been refused; in consequence, he bad not been able to pro. duce the reporters who heard the exact words whin th prisoner used, and who would have refuted the testi. moot' of the pcuicernan. Then as to the discos , , ry of the uniform in the box, the jury, uo doubt, imagined that it was some French marsh ,l's regimentals, but it would be proved that it was nothing more nor less than the deers worn by the 'B2 Club. He would produce respectable fril emcee, who would depose that they had been in the habit of wearing the drew, and would continue to wear it even though the m ight thus expose themselves to the imputa tion of be guilty of high treason. The learned counsel next advert ed to the circumstance that thouch the govern ment were watchful, and had übiquitous spies, they ha.' not disco v ered a treasonable document in the hands of the prisouer, nor any corm:ion with Confederation Hull. The facts connected with his client's 'irk to Dublin were simply these. His object in coming was business clone; but upon his arrival, be found that the Habeas Cerpus Act had been suspended, and fearing that he would be arrested in Dublin and prevented from returning to Liverpool, he quitted the city, and went to the town of Kilkenny, with a view to consider there how he could best d best make his escape . . the country, and thus avoid the unpleasant cocee queuees of being arrested under the Habeas Corpus Sus punka Act, and detained in prison till March next—a cm sequence that would be fatal to the business he carried on in Liverpool. This was en inference which he conceived might be fairly drawn from the fact that his name was inserted in the proclamation osntained in the Gaut e, on the 28th July . It was his intention to rest his client's Cabe on this—that his sole object throughout the entire of these transactions, was to assist in sheltering Mr. O'Brien and himself from arrest ; and be should shortly show the jury why he said so. In the first place let him ask what on' rated these move ments ? Beyond all question, he would insist, the suspen sion of the Habeas Corpus Act, and the warrant for Mr. O'Brien's arrest ; for if the news had arrived in Dublin that the bill for the suspension of that act had been thrown our, was there any one in tlat court who would tell him that these man tunate occurrences would have taken place at that time ? No. And if not, how could the jury believe that any insurrectionary pumase had existed in the minds of any of those men who stood accused of high treason? Where, let him siso ask, was the evidence of the existence (limy ps coral j lan of en insurrection ? What evidences was there of any preliminary preparation for such a purpose ? Where was the evidence of any attack made on any large provincial town, or of anything whatever that was calculated to fasten upon these movements the character of a general treason ) In the can of Emmett such a plan did exist, and therefore, in his case, the treasonable purpose was pretty manifest. His plan was to make an attack upon the Castle of Dublin—that was a very inteliigible thing; and amongst his papers there was alm found a document which contained a list of the names of a provismnal government. But it was not intelligible that any set of rational men could embark in a movement whose object was to subvert the government, and not leave the slightest twee of a plan for the new government that we to supersede the government they were accused of attack ing. It was certain that a large number of persons did aseemble at Mullinahone-6,000 at least—and was not this a force sufficient to induce a rebel leader to pleas himself at their heed, and raise the standard of revolt? But in stead of doing this, the men were disbanded. Was not this the act of a men who wished to preserve himself from erred, and rot of a man who desired to date an inn,- I res.tion? What better auspice* could any man oommence • rebellion under than the possession of 8,000 men? The Prinoe of Orange, who did subvert a government, landed in the year 1888 in England, and had only 600 men to meet him. Yet, what was done? The army was dis banded. It might be asked how could Mr. O'Brien have I expected to have escaped arrest. It was possible that he in tended to revolt when he could ; but this was not treason. A man might be disaffected, and might coatemplate at a future period to raise the country, but an intention and de alga to be carried out at a distant time, though a high gds. demeanor, and involving the life of a person concerned in it, if any one were killed in consequence, was not the awful crime of high treason. If this argument were strong in the case of Mr. O'Brien, it was far more so in that of Mr. M.Manue. There was no plan proved, no design, no general object. The prisoner came over from Liverpool with a few pounds in his pocket, the uniform of the 'B2 club, a pair of pistols, and a pair of kid gloves. Some one had said that re volutions could not be achieved in kid gloves, and be would ask was it high treason to carry a brace of pistols ? The mere reconnoitering of a body of men to prove and test theit strength was not treasonable. There should have been an actual levying of war. It should not be • surmise, a con- I jecture, or a supposition, but an act, a deed, • positive proceeding, not to avoid ar rest, but to levy war to subvert the constitution . Was it not possible that what had happened at Killenaule and Ballingarry was consistent with the anent* of an intent to subvert the law ? The rights of property might be determined by probability ; but no such tremendous responsibility wee east upon a jury in a criminal case. The law did not require them to weigh in the scales ot nicely bonneted evidence the life of their fe:low-man. If it did, no Christian man who felt the awful responsibility of sitting in judgment upon a brother's blood would ever take his place in a jury b but law, basing itself upon the sanctions and precepts of religion, end reminding them of those precepts, when it swore them upon the gospels of mercy, told them that union beyond all doubt there wee a clear demonstra- Wm that the prisoner was puil'y, they should acquit him, unless the facts were inconsistent with any reasonable pre snmption of the Inman* of the prisoner. The only safe course for a jury to pursue would be to throw away altogether any evidence upon which they could not rely. The charge should be proved to demonstra tion, and the jury urald not depend upon uncertain evi dence. The keened IM MO, in reference to the erection of the budged= at Hilluanle ' sail that it was plahly done fie prevent the mat of Kr. O'Brien ; had it been otherwhe, the dastramtsm of • troop of dragoons would have been ea eueellent easurieneement to a rebellion. There was no doubt that the troop of forty-five humus were within the power of the people ; and had their object been • levying of I war, was it not natural to suppose that • covert flee would have been got up against the troops, trenches ling, ropes drawn along the road, and other demonstrations Ka mili tary chuseter ? Wh t better prelude to an innuendos UAL the messiere of her Majesty's troops—but the *Admen mot to show that the prisoner cheered the troops through the town of Killenaule. Whatever was the design, the prisoner did not entertain any general project of revolt, but was a peacemaker, and a person anxious to prevent violence. The ied counsel next referred to the attack on the police at Farrinrory. That attack, he concluded, was quite unpre meditated, as was shown by the evidence of Lamphier, who deposed that Mr. O'Brien, hearing that the police were coming to arrest him, asked him for the loan of materials to erect a. barricade to obstruct their progress. Now he (Mr. Butt) considered that this fact above all was ample proof that Mr. O'Brien and his friends were prepared to act on the defensive, and upon the defensive only, upon that oecaiioa. But what took plan next? Crowds assembled upon the Ballingarry road, and the police instead of coming into the town, turned off in another di rection. Excitement began to prevail amongst the people, and Mr.O'Bricn and Mr. ll'hiunes ran across the fields with a newt* intercept the crowd who were sunning to meet the police. Now with what object did Mr. O'Brien and the , prisoner do this ? He would tell them. They well knew , the feelings that unfortunately existed in the minds of the people against the police, and they apprehended that if they came into conflict, unless they were present, a massacre of the constabulary would, is all probability, ensue. There fore it was that they ran after the people ; and it was for the same reason—tire., so prevent the slaughter of the police, that Mr. O'Brien subsequently exiled to the police to surrender thoir arms, and Mr. Wallace undertook to shelter the policeman Cured from insult and in jury. If this were the true construction to be put upon Wm affair of Farrinrory, it could nut be deemed a levying of war against the Queen. The learned counsel then referred to the Bristol and Gordon riots, with • view to show that, although a general pupae* might have existed in the minds of the people in respect to the attack at Farrinrory, yet, it that attack happened unpremeditatedly, it did not amount ' to the crime of treason, and ought not to he prosecuted es such, but as I. mere riot only. Referring to the letter written by Mr. O'Brien to the directors of the Mining Company, he confessed that it did appear difficult to him to reconcile it with any but one supposition—namely, that Mr. O'Brien, hunted as he was from society by an arbitrary law, and driven as an outlaw upon the bills, not of his own choice, but because he preferred in a dungeon without a trial, and finding that some persons whom he had expected to support him had not done so, wrote that letter in a fit of indignant desperation whin deprived him for the moment of hie better jefig. ment. D d his client know of it l—who could tell that he did not remonstrate against It ?—or that he ever heard of it? The whole value of it wee, that Mr. O'Brien in his own mind contemplated • revolution. It might or might not show what was posting in Mr. O'Brien's wand; bat could it in any manner show what was pining in the mind a his client? That was the question the jury would have to try, end they must be satisfied not only that Mr. O'Brien was contemplating a revolution, but that Mr. Mldanus also did to—and further, that he designed to carry it out by the 3 very acts charge d in this indictment, The learned gentle man, in conclueion, said he mould almost ask the jury, in dealing with the eve of his client, to forget that they were lovers of public order, and consider it with the oldness and impartiality of public men who had no such feeling in favour of order, for it was only by divesting their minds of this feeling that they could honeetly try kis client. He felt that be was under many disadvsntaget in addressing them, being a stranger in that bounty. He knew not the copies that were most likely to have weight with them. One thing, however, he was sure of, that he had twelve Irish gentle men in the box before him, and to their honour and im partiality, as gentlemen, he would confidently appeal. His client was then far from his own home end coun try. He was brought there to answer before men who knew nothing of his history, character, or connexions. He made no appeal to their feelings. e felt that he laboured under the additional disadvantage of not ad dressing them ? on behalf of a man of their own rank in life ; but believing the jury he addressed to be Christian men, he was satisfied that the case of this stranger would receive from thon just as anxious a consideration as if they were trying the first nobleman in the land. He midst, perhaps, be disappointed in the anticipations he had forma of the verdict they would deliver, but if Cry could reconcile the facts proved in the eau with the h,nrocuce of his ellen*, then he could call upon them, according to law, according to justice, and according to the Peered sanctions under which they were assembled in that box to edelinister the law, to pronounce a verdict of not guilty, and restore his client to his occupation and his home. In applying himself to that case he had endeavoured to keep himself within the law, and assist them in the investigation of the solemn question they had to try, and he would now, with the most perfect confidence in the uprightneu of their decision, leave his client'scase in their hands, sad in the name of the law demand their verdict of acquit tal. At the conclusion of Unit learned counsel's address he was cheered. T. L)ms (a magiatra•e of the city or Cork, and the fits' mayor under the ccrporste Rotor= Bill), J. Carmich tel (a tea der in Cork), J. Tic:marsh (grand jern a Kilkenny), and R. A. Carleton, were examined, and gave the prisouer L excellent character.

Saw the membas of the club wearing the uniform at tho levee held by Mr. O'Connell on the 30th of M ,y, 184.5. Wore it himself. The gold bend wu added with the peak. His cap never had a peak, nor did he assume a military character. J. Ce. H elaes examined by Mr. Butt—Are you a member of the 'B2 C:tib ?

Saw him Mr. Curtis and Mr. O'Farrell wear the uniform at several parties. Saw it worn once (and thought twice) at a ball. Knew that it had been worn at a fancy bell given by Sir Henry Winston Barron. The evidence for the defence tinged here. Mr. O'Callaghan then 4e:dressed the jury, speaking to the evidence for the de ence of the prisoner, and to the general evidence advanced in support of the promention. The Solicitor General was about rising to tiaras the court and jury, when The Chief JUIA.C• said that was the time for the prisoner to address to the court any observations which he miete de alt* to make. The Prisoner said—l hove nothing to say to the jury, my lord, but to endorse all that has been already soil by both my counsel. All I desire to soy is, that I (lid not belong to any chartist society. I pledge my honour as a men that I never did. I never attended any of their meeting-, Our Was I connected with them in any shape or form. Attorney-G - neral—Allow me to soy that I would net have stated that the prisoner had attended a chartist meeting, had it not b-en that the policeman mentioned that the speech atteihnted to him had been spoken at one. Chief Justice—That was understood by the *curt. It was then a quarter after 5 o'clock, and the Solicitor- General preferred proceeding with his edam!' next morn ing, owing to his being affected by a wild. The court then aelj Aimed. PROVINCIAL. LANCASHIRE. Procarox IN A SHIP.—On Tuesday, the ship Columbus was moved out into the Mersey, with the view of getting her ready fcr r rocesding from Liverpool to America. In the course of the day some of the passengers fauck.l they beard a noise betting from a box between decks. snd on opening it a female was discovered inside. Tho female, of whom no particulars are k..own, was taken out, but she ex pired almost instantaneously. It is supposed that sho either secreted hissell, or was secreted by some one else in the box, in order to escape payment of the passage money out, and up to last night no clue to her idenuty had been dis:overed. An inquest will be hel - d_ upon t u b :Em body to day. CRESTED AND HOLYHEAD.—FLOATINO OF TUE SECOND TUBULAR lllllDOE.—Yester.lay the second tubular bridge over the Conway Straits was floated on the pontoons to the piers. The operation attnn led large crowds from Conway and other parts of the principality. The wind was fair, the Conway water calm, SDI the rein that fell during the night had the effect of causing a copious fall of freid water from the heights, thus holding back the tide, and tempering the strength of the current which was emential to tk e success of the great operation. At 9 o'clock Capt. Claxton, R N., gave the signal to pipe all hands. The tube was lifted in about sixty minu tes, was got safely home at a few minutes past 10 amid , the applause r t the bystanders, and a salvo of artillery from ' the Castle walls. The entire operation was effected without the slightest accident. Tbreecheers were given fur Stephenson. Oa Monday the whole structure will probably be completed by means of the hydraulic machines. The musonry will be built in under the car-elling, and in another fortnight the trains will run through uninterruptedly. The other tube will then be closed fur a short time, to allow of the alteration of the rails so as to admit of the removal of the transverse timbers, which may be dispensed with, thus trustieg only to the transverse plates of iron. The first tube has now been subjected to five months' experience, in all weathers and it has been found, from the mo-t minute and delicate obeerva , Lion, that the deflexion varies only from the temperature up and down an inch, and although heavy trains have passed daily the general dill( :ion observed has not varied from what it was when fleet brought into use. The greatest rao don registered from the strongest gale was I,6oothe of an inch. The tube has at present six feet rest at either end, but it is intended, by building up the abutments, so that eventually it shall have twelve. WARWICKSHIRE. MIDLAND ASSOCIATION OT MECHANICS' AND OTHER LITERARY INSTITLTIONS.—On Monday last, the 9th inst., the first annual meeting of this body was held in the rooms of the Philosophies' Institution, Cannon-street, Birmingham, and was attended by delegates from Derby, Chesterfield, Grantham, Linc - in, Nottingham, gad Stourbridge. The chair was occupied by W. Schuh field, Erg., M.P. The secretary, the Rey. A. Turner Blythe, read a report upon the state of the institutions connected with the uniun—in number 20—from which it appeared that they ware in a very 'war) ing state of efficiency, some being very prosperous, but nearly all very limited in means. The report suited greet interest, and resolutions founded upon it were agre:d to, after which the meeting adjourned to the Union tun, when the members dined together. DEATH FROM T"llTirlit IN OF TUE POTATO DIS 1183.—0 n Friday last a man of the name of Dyer, formerly a polineman in Worcester, died in the infirmary, under the following extraordinary circumstances. He had been en gaged about a fortnight ago in chopping wood, and raised an or.:inary blister on the palm of his hand, which, having and let oil the water, he thought nothing more of. rhotg afterwards, however, he had occasion to dig or wall some diseased potatoes, and in doing this he took some of them up in his hand and squeezed them. In a little while after his hand began to swell, and beams d in such an extraordinary way that he deemed it advisable to gctsome advice upon the sutject. He ace reliantly applied at the Worcester Inflltmary, and was received as en in-door patient. Mr. Carden, one of the medical dile 111, examined the baud, and found that the whole of the flesh was in a auto of mortification, and at onee expressed an opinion that it had been p.tiioned by MIN foreign sabstance. The disease did not tontine ittelf to the hand, but very rapidly mounted to the arm, when the other hand and arm began to swell and decay in a similar manner. The poor man shortly after becanac delirious—ran out of his ward into mother—threw himself on the bed, and died. A post modem examination was made of the body, when all the viscera appeared in a h althy state. lle was a tree liver, but not by any means a drunkard, and the surgeon ex pressed an opinion that nothing of that kind could bc as sired as the cause of death. In menticning the coo to his pupil., Mr. Carden again ezpreued his opinion that some virus mist have entered into the hand through the wound, and thus have occasioned the disease. If the virus which caused death was absorbed from the diseased po tatoes, this occurrence will open a wide field for scientific investigation. • - ; • ; • i I- it at 12 re to lo • ly of De r. er he t . 1 , De.
