Mr. Dion Boucicault is not disposal to let Lis patrons fall off for want of novelty in his programmes. The pieces in his well-filled portfolio are not bet half ex" haunted, and long before the Colleen Barn bas ceased to be attractive, a new military spectacle is produced to intro duce Mrs. Boucicault after her long absence. Jessie Brown, or The Belief of Lueknow, as it is now called, like Mr. Boucicault's previous dramas, has not been now produced for the first time. It had a lengthened run at Mr. Walleck's theatre in New York, where the author and his wife performed the same characters as they do bare. No expense memo to have been spared on its. reproduction in this country. Mr. Beverley has painted some striking and effective scenery ; Mr. Oscar Byrne, our oldest and best ballet master, has sr. ranged all the " movements" and dances; while the troop of vaulting Arabs now at Entry-Line give a local colouring to the Indian portion of the drama which could never have been got even from the beat trained English supernumeraries. To give force to several parts, Mr. Sivinbunies an actor new to Loudon, Mr, Edwin, Mr. Chas. Vandenhoff (a young member of the celebrated family), and those old favourites Mr. Ryder and Mr. Mellon, have been engaged, while Madame Celesta is suited with a part that gives considerable scope for her energetic style of acting. The house was crowded in every part, and the applause at intervals was loud and genuine. Mr. and Mrs. Bouci cault were honoured with several calla before the curtain, and there is every prospect of the piece having a run. ADELPH L Mr. Benjamin Webster reappeared last night, after his short holiday, in the graceful little character piece, called One Touch of Nature. His acting in the part of the old prompter was as forcible as ever, enchaining the atten tion of a large and delighted aa•lience. It is almost mine canary to say that he was ably seconded by Miss H. Simms and Mr. Millington. STRAND. The entertainments at this ever popular little theatre were varied last eight by the production of a new comic drama in two acts, called, My Son's a Lauf,lglu.. The character of the pint would seem to point to a French source for the idea of this piece, although the action is al quaint and old-fashioned as that of the Lottery Ticket, or any other time-honoured farce which pleased our grand fathers. The story turns upon the midnight adventures of a certain rollicking king's trumpeter, who makes love in the dark to a young village maiden and an old village maid, to the great disgust of the guardian of the former, who wishes to marry has dependant. After giving rise to con siderable village sandal by the avowal of his night's adventures, he marries the young woman, but not before discovering that she is the child of an old comrade whom he had sworn to seek and protect under the belief that the orphan was a boy. This mistake arose from an ignorant reading of the ward Frances for Francis, and hence the title of My Son's a Davyhter. The old maid is foisted on the old guardian in the old-fashioned way by the discovery of his cloak in her cottage, and the curtain falls upon general marriage and mystification. The dram► was announced for repetition amidst much applause. MUSIC. Meyerbeer, who is in a very precarious state of health, bas been staying at Ems, in Germany, for the last two months. His long looked for opera rAfricaine will, it is said, be brought out next season in Paris. Should its representation be any longer delayed Meyerbeer will bare to pay a large sum of money to the widow of the poet Scribe ; a circumstance which renders the production of the work almost certain. Madame Cuillag, the celebrated prima donna, has accepted an engagement to sing in Barcelona during De cember, January, and February, for which period she re ceives the large rum of 60,000 franca, Le PropAete is to be "mounted" expitaaely for her debut. The sisters Marchisio are to appear iu Rome during December, and are to sing for the first time in Italy Verdi's new opera La Fora del Deseino, which has been written for St. Petersburg. New York papers mention the very successful &but of Mdlle. Carlotta Patti in that city. Her voice is said to be a pure soprano. At a concert given at the Academy. she sang, among other pieces, Mozart's aria of the " Queen of Night," in the Zauberfiote, are note higher than the original key ; a fact which, of itself, evidences the extraordinary quality of voice she must possess. The debutante is a sister of Mdlle. Adelina Patti. Madame Alboni, it is reported, will next year bring ber glorioue professional career to a termination, and visit Leedom for the lest time is the season of 1863. She bee erased her determination of not taking a formal farm The Creation will be performed by the Natioual Choral Society at Exetar•hall tomorrow evening, at 8 o'clock, with band and chorus of 700 performers, under the direction of Mr. G. W. Martin. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (uorials ITALY. TURIN, Bar. 15. The Official Gaulle of to-day says : " Some journals have reproached. the govern ment for not having yet declared its intentions re specting the disposal of those who took part in the late acts of rebellion. Considering that the law has to be executed, and justice to be left to freely take its ooume, the government was not obliged to make any declaration on this subject. " The facts in question having taken place in several provinces, it is necessary to determine what court of assize is competent to try the prisoners. " The government has also had regard to con siderations of public safety." Count Stackelberg, Russian Envoy Extraordinary to the Court of Turin, has arrived bere, accom panied by his suite. NAPLES, SEPT. 15. The French squadron has left for Ajaccio, with the exception of the Caton, which goes to Messina. Signor Ptilxky has been released, but Deputies Fabrizi and Mordini are still confined in the Castel Novo. FRANCE. PARIS, SOT. 15. The Constitutionne/ of this evening publishes an article on the Roman question, signed by M. Limayrac, which says : " For thirty years the imperial government has defended the independence of the Papacy, but it is not reasonable to conclude from this that it intends to maintain the Papal government for ever. "If France considers it her duty to secure the independence of the Papacy, she also considers it her duty to respect the liberty of peoples. " The court of Rome, and the journals which are devoted to it, affirm that the Roman govern ment is loved by its subjects ; it is therefore only necessary to protect it against any external attack. " The Papal power being secured within by the wishes of the inhabitants, and protected from without by a formal declaration of France, whose word is as good as her sword, there is no longer any reason for the occupation of Rome by French troops." SPAIN. BARCELONA, SEPT. 15. A waterspout has burst over this town. The streets are transformed into torrents, in which many of the inhabitants are swimming for their lives. Several houses have been washed away. The damage done is immense. POLAND. WARSAW, Sur. 15. The address of the Polish nobility to the govern ment is couched in firm but respectful language.

THE DOMINICANS IN LONDON.—The metropolis is to be favoured with a Dominican church and priory, to be erected on Haverstack-hill. The following are the prin cipal portions of the official document in which the scheme as sanctioned by Cardinal Wiseman iscontained by the Divine mercy, of the title of St. Pudeotisas, Cardi nal Priest of the Holy Roman Church, Archbishop of West minster, to all reeding these letters, health sod benediction in the Lord. Called of the will of ('iod to the government of this diocese, one design, above all others, has anxiously engaged our thoughts, namely, that the number of the preachers of the faith should more and more be multiplied. Wherefore with joy we have seen the ranks of our secular clergy increasing, and with no less gratitude we have beheld the various families of the regular orders, with our consent in our diocese, and amongst these, as we have long most earnestly desired, the most illustrious order of the Patriarch, St. Dominic. Most willingly there fore have we given oar consent to the Very Rev. Father Provincial of the Order of Preachers for the foundation of a priory and church of that order in London, and have ap proved of the same. About three acres of laod having been purchased with our consent at Haverstock-hill, within the limits of the mission of the Blessed Virgin Mary's Help of Christians, in Kentish-town, we have entrusted for the time being to the fathers of the said order the charge of that church and mission. And we, moreover, permit and con cede that on the said land a church and priory of the order of St. Dominic be canonically erected, to be possessed and served in perpetuity by the abovenamed father!, with all lawful prerogatives, rights, and exemptions, saving always the rights of ourselves and of our sueoeras. and the canonical and synodical decrees. Aod we hereby do, as far as in us lies, by these presents erect and constitute the abovonamed church and priory. We earnestly pray Al mighty God to sanctify and bless this undertaking for the salvation of the faithful, and for the conversion of those who err.' THE %MARIO EMBANIEMENT.--CODBidellible pro gress has already been niede with this great and important work. It is only a fortnight slake* operations were com menced opposite Montague-house, Whitehall, and already from that place to Waterloo-bridge large numbers of piles have been fixed. Yesterday several lighters were placed opposite Somerset-house, and the work of pile driving cam manned in that part of the river. INSURANCE BOCIETIRB.—In 1848 four insurance companies ceased to exist ; in 1849, ewes ; in 1850, three ; in 1651, none ; in 1852, two ; in 1853, eight ; in 1854, six ; is 1855, ten ; in 1866, sixteen ; in 1857, thirty-fcur ; in 1858, twenty-five ; in 1859, fifteen ; in 1860, six ; in 1861, ten ; whilst during the year 1862, so far as it flu gone, eleven have disappeared mare disappearing from the scene. These figures, to a superficial observer, may appear dry and uninteresting, but to any one who has carefully observed the course of events which insurance mattes, have takes for some tune past they are pregnant with wing and inte rest.

ITALY. (ROY OUR OWN NAPLES, Szre. 10. - . Rattazzi is well aware that the present state of Italy does not bear publicity ; he understands liberty and constitution only in the French Impe rial way, not in the English sense. I read in the Pungolo that Garibaldi has written and signed a report of the fight of Aspromonte, that the Mori mento of Genoa published it, but that the autho rities seized the paper at once, and suppressed its circulation. This suppression of an account of the last events, signed by the man who is known to the world as one who never tells an untruth, charac terises the present government. I am much astonished that I am still allowed to write to you, but I am resolved to hold out to the last, and to remain the chronicler of the state of siege at Naples, at the risk of incurring the vengeance of the powers that rule the state. Hitherto I have been treated with the greatest regard. I was even allowed yesterday to visit the Museum, accom panied by a most gentlemanly police delegate. A visit to Pompeii has; likewise been granted to me ' for to-day, but I cannot succeed in being brought before the court. lam detained at will, without any accusation against me. My friends at Turin asked one of the ministers why I had been arrested ; he answered, " Que voulez-vous 7 c'est Past de ridge." (What shall I say lit is the state of siege.) The state of siege means, therefore, nothing but ar bitrary arrests, the suppression of the liberty of the press, passports for leaving Naples, the violation of the constitution, and the breach of the privilege of parliament by arresting members of parlia ment ; in fact, it is a true copy of the Imperial system of government as it existed in Paris be tween the years 1852 and 1859. Dassi came to see us yesterday, and told us that at four son. about forty policemen, led by three de legates, had invaded his premises and searched his house and garden fur four hours, frightening his wife almost to death. Of course they found neither arms nor any suspicious correspondence, but be came quite ridiculous, since most of Dassi's letters were in French and English, and they bad not brought any interpreter with them ; they had, therefore, to ask Dassi himself to translate his letters, for, ashamed of their position, they did not dare to carry away the papers. In the evening we received a call from Signor Evandro d'Alfieri, a member of parliament, at whose house, too, there was made a domiciliary visit. He had in vain protested against the illegal proceedings, and appealed to his inviolability as a member of parliament ; the police agents excused themselves by pleading La Marmora's order and the stated siege. I needecarcelymention that no papers of any political importance were found at d'AlfierPs. In fact, La Marmora's policy is not easily to be understood. A fortnight has already elapsed from the day that the state of siege was declared, and if anybody had some letters from Garibaldi they were certainly destroyed or sent away in the first days, not as if they were felonious, but because they might have given a pretext for an arbitrary arrest and illegal detention at the Quiestura. Colonel Car bouelli has now been my fellow prisoner for eleven days, and he has not yet seen any magistrate ; and when he insisted on being handed over to the courts, he received the answer that his case had been sub mitted to the ministers at Turin, who have now no time to care for such little things as our liberty. My case and the colonel's, say the police authorities, are identical, and having been jointly reported to Turin, the resolution of the ministers about them both must arrive at the same time. When we re marked that before our meeting in the Qtuestura as prisoners we had not personally known one another, and scarcely believed we should ever become acquainted, that therefore it was pure nonsense to connect the two cases, which have nothing in com common, except that we both do not know why we were detained, we were told that the authorities are swayed by high political reasons, which cannot be at once explained. Now as to the result of the state of siege. We had on Monday a telling evidence. A cabman was brought before the delegate ; he had been hailed on the feast day by two soldiers, who desired to take a drive ; and asked whether they were Neapolitans or Piedmontese, they replied proudly that they were Piedmontese, upon which the cabman rapidly drove away, saying he did not want to serve Piedmontese. The delegate being for a moment absent, our police man on guard discussed the case with great ability, and found that both parties were wrong, the cab man being bound to serve the public indiscrimi nately, but the soldiers ought to have known that they were not Piedmontese, but Italians. But one of the latter became quite excited, and said "We are Piedmontese, and are sent hither that everybody should tremble at our sight." It seems that the delegate, Signor Chiarini, to whom the case was submitted, took the same view, for he sent the poor cabman to prison among the camorrists and brigands. In the evening we saw his wife and chil dren in the court-yard speaking with him through the bars of the prison window. Two cases of threatening letters in the name of the briganti, for the purpose of extorting money, in the one case from a banker, in the other from a rich lady, were treated yester day in our presence ; the police had displayed great ingenuity in arresting the criminals, one an ex-sergeant of the late Bourbon army, the other two young mon of the middle classes. They were fully committed. The funds fell yesterday, since it had become known that the French government insists upon Garibaldi's trial ; whilst the monied interest fears an awakening of all revolutionary passions by a public defence of the hero. The official report of the physicians and surgeons Pietro Ripari, Enrico Albanese, and Giuseppe Basile, all of them companions of Garibaldi at Aspromonte, and attached to the service of his volunteers, appeared in the Morimento of the 4th instant. It was signed by these gentlemen on the 31st, on board of the Duca di Genoa, and begins with the following words : " General Garibaldi, whilst he passed along the front of the volunteers giving the order not to fire, received at the same time, on the 29th of August, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, two wounds from the first volleys of the regular troops at Aspro monte." ("11 Generale Garibaldi, mentre percorrera la (route dei volontari, ordinando a tutti di non far fuoco, toccava ad un tempo, it 29 Agosto, verso le 4 poor., due ferite, dei priori colpi di fuoco della truppe regolari in Aspromonte.") You see that my first report was true, and why it took so much time to make the official report, which, after all, remained meagre and confused. NAPLES, Sin. U. Signor Amore, the secretary of the Qustura, to whom I had explained how deleterious the stenches must become which reign in the whole building, is seriously unwell ; but lie will scarcely remember my lecture, since he had &copious dinner Portici the other day, and attributes his illness to indigestion, forgetting that the vitiated air of the Qutestura must destroy the digestive powers of any man, even if he were a London alderman. All the officials here look dyspeptic, but they do not know that a few alterations in the building, and a charwoman scouring once a week the brick floor of the offices, instead of doing it coca a year, would do them more good than all their physic and physicians. Yesterday the printer Feats., who is here on sus picion of having printed some clandestine flysheets, was handed over to the court. The Procuratore - Generale, a sensible man, found at once that the character of the publication was not felonious, and ordered the man to be set at liberty in a provi sional way, until the court decided the case ; but our proconsul, in virtue of his discretionary powers, forbade Festa's liberation, and gave orders that nobody should be released from prison without his own special permission. How long shall these rigours and the suspension of the constitution last The government has nothing to fear from Gari baldi ; he is in prison ; Naples is quiet ; and, last not least, the state of siege is not founded upon any clause of the " Statuto," as indeed it could not be, since it is the invention of M. Cavaignac, who was the first (in June, 1848) illogically to extend the state of siege to a whole country. Carlo Alberto's statnto, published in May, could there fore not yet avail itself of a posterior French invention. We hear that Garibaldi's son-in-law, Canzio, and his younger son, Ricciotti, who had come to see the wounded General in his prison, were not admitted to him, only Dr. Riboli, the friend who had accompanied them, being allowed to visit the hero. If this wanton insult to humanity proves true, it is the heaviest blow against the monarchical principle in Italy, and Rattazzi will have assumed a terrible responsibility. I have men tioned several times that Victor Emmanuel is nearly unknown in Sicily ; it was Gari baldi's prestige which lent a ray of popularity to the King. I had written it to the ministry, but they do not listen to impartial observers, and rather trust the report of their officials, who have not the courage to tell unwelcome truths. The result now proves the correctness of my bodings. After the news of Aspromonte, when all the shops were shut in Palermo for three days, the busts and portraits of the King were broken and torn, not by the mob, but by the inhabitants, iu the most quiet way. You do not find now that well-known likeness in the capital of the island, unless it be in the public offices. It is very un pleasant for me to publish such facts, since I am deeply convinced that without Victor Emmanuel Italy never will become united, and that the loss of his popularity is a misfortune to all the penin sula ; but truth will always prevail, and it is a foolish policy to believe that such facts can be hashed up. Rattazzi, to shield himself, mixed the King's name up unfortunately with his own very questionable politics, and that blunted at the same time the two most formidable weapons of Italy, Garibaldi's prestige, and the King's popularity. It is true that this conduct meets with the full approval of the Tuileries, where the prac tical constitutional liberty enjoyed by Italy had become annoying ; but I fear that all the support of France cannot make up for the loss of the support of public opinion. The authorities of the Quiestura continue to ex tend their regards towards me ; even the present letters, which I am still permitted to writs, are an honourable evidence of their liberality and kindness to a prisoner. They wish me to understand the great difference between the prevent state and the time of the Bourbons, and I fully acknowledge that there cannot be any more humane treatment of prisoners than is ours. The Garibaldi= surgeon was allowed to go to the theatre, and I had the pri vilege of visiting Pompeii with a police delegate, Signor Froja, a gentleman of education, whose com pany could not but be agreeable to me. I in terested myself chiefly in the latest excavations, by which the house of a wealthy man was discovered ; he must have been a banker, for the mosaic at the entrance shows the words, " Salve Lucrum" (Wel come Profit 9. On a wall opposite to the house we read the hexameter, "Otiosis locus hic non est; die cede morator" (here is no room for idlers, begone thou who detainest us). Among the recently discovered pictures we remarked principally Nep tune and Apollo building the walls of Troy, and Hercules drunk. Cupids steal his club and quiver, whilst Omphale and her maids on one aide, and Satyrs and Bacchantes on the other, enjoy the scene. We saw likewise a baker's house, where six weeks ago 80 loaves of bread and one cake were found in the oven, and several hundred pieces of silver and copper were in the shop. I turned the attention of my companion, the delegate, principally to the im mense supply of water in every house, and told him that unless the present Neapolitans imitate their ancestors and wash away the dirt of despotism, not only morally but physically, with plenty of pure water, they will never become strong and healthy. Garibaldi gives them, even in that respect, the best example ; be takes a bath every day, or, where it is impossible to get it, at least washes his body from head to foot, whilst we, detained at the Quiestura, get in the morning not more than a pint of water for our ablutions. It is no exaggeration when I tell you that there are people at Naples who from the time of their birth have never taken a bath. Ido not speak of lazzaroni—for they like to throw themselves into the sea—but of gen tlemen and ladies of the middle classes. I forgot to mention an archeologically important fact which came to light in the course of the year. A heavy gold ring was found at Pompeii, with a beautiful Nicolo, on which we see Hercules in front view raising Pentheadea's sword and belt in his right hand, whilst he holds the club in bis left. On the side we read the name of the engraver, Solon, known already by other works. What • pity that the Russian councillor Koehler, who wrote a dissertation to prove that no engraver of that name ever could have existed, died before that discovery. (nom OM OWN TURIN, Rim. 12. The chancellery of the Russian embassy has ar rived, and Count Stackelberg, the ambassador, is expected here this evening. Re represented Russia at the mint of Turin when Central and Southern were united to Upper Italy, and he protested against those measures while they still seemed in secure ; now that they no longer appear so be comes to accept the fait accompli in the Czar's name ; but even this he hes not done without mani festing suspicion and something like duplicity. The count was to have arrived here a fortnight ago, but just then Garibaldi was announcing his intention of landing in Calabria and marching on Rome. This might have led to a separation between the North and South, or to a war with France or at least to French intervention in Italy (a thing perhaps desired in Paris), and so the count delayed his journey. The dangers he apprehended having been postponed, if not extinguished, the representative of Russia now believes in the exist ence of the kingdom of Italy, and comes to Turin to dec:are the fact in due form. Certainly he can not be charged with over haste. I have had • long oenversation with General Cialdini, and though I found him more reserved than usual, yet it struck me that he, too, has very little confidence in the present ministry, and that this wasthe reason why, immediately after terminat ing the military business for which he bad been sent to Sicily and Calabria, he desired to return to the army he commands in Bologna. He is going to Milan this evening, and will leave it for Bologna on the 15th. It appears that the Italian government has really sent a note less humble than usual to that of France, whose policy for some time past has been more j esuitical , than diplomatic. I say "It ap pears, though the fact has been mentioned to me by men who ought to know, and a minister has said to me, " You will see that even our patience baa a limit." But I have not seen the document, and I have no wish to play at guesses. Count Vimercati is here, and if it be true that he is going to-morrow to Paris—a matter not yet settled—he will certainly be the bearer of some important document, and per haps go to Biarritz to consult the oracle.

A Max Saar BY A Voitirrusit.—A deplorable circumstance occurred in Gibson-navel, Newcastle, on Saturday evening, when John Randall, s eabioet- maker, was shot by a bullet discharged from a ride held by C. Ridley, • volunteer rifleman, who is 195ean old. He is a boiler-maker employed at Stepbeneon's f and on Saturday afternoon be was engaged in rifle. ee on the Volunteer's Range at Byker. On leaving the ground he went, about 6 o'clock in the evening, to= of Randall, at 41, Gibson-street, with whom be was on friendly terms. Soon after entering he said to Benfiall. " Jim, 111 shoot you," and he put a cap on the nipple dike rifle. Rendall replied, " Mind what you are doing, that is not made to be played with." At that moment the rifle discharged, and the ballet entering at the r#.t side posed through the abdomen, and shattered from liire the wrist to the elbow, the bullet ha taken an upward direction. On receiving the injury He der, though severely wended. was able to walk, sod was attended to the Inkysary. Ridley was horrified at the effects of hie act, for there can be no doubt that be was not swan that the rifle wee loaded. It appears that he had fired off the charge at Byker, and had laid down his title while he went teen amine the target, in order to ascertain the position of the shot-mark ; sad the only manner in which he can account fur the weapon being reloaded is that some other pens most have mistake* it fur his own rile, and so loaded it with ball cartridge. Be went home, and during the night was • prey to the moot agonising retlectiook his mental anguish being such that he fainted several times. On Sunday morn ing he was taken into custody by the police. The wounded man Riedel!, who is RI years of age, end is married, re ceived surgkal attention at the Infirmary, where several splinters were extracted from , : his arm, and it is faired the limb will have to be amputated. Up to last night be etin tinned in • dangerous state, much weakened from lam of blood, and greatly shaken by the injury and consequent shock to the nervous system. Ridley, tbs unfortunate MAIO of this melancholy result, was the constant compa nion of the man he has wounded, and it is reported he was paying his addresses to Rendall's sister.—Nelocestle Chronicle. _ _ SturwßlCl AND Loss or Lars.—On Saturday the ship Kelton arrived in the Mersey , _having on beard the captain and one man of the ship HAulabetk and Jane, which wee abandosed at sea and foundered in latitude 35.51, longitude 69.9 W. on the 18th August. It appears that the Elizabeth and Jane belonged to St. Andrew's, N. 8., and at the time of her loots was on a voyage from Rio (beads to New York. A few days pervious to the 18th August she encountered severe weather and berme leaky, and the water outinued to gain on the ship despite As efforts of the crew to rar her ; and ultimately she went down on the 18th, all hands perishing, except Ander son, the muter, and ow of the crew, who were picked up by the Kelton on her voyage from klinetitlan to Liverpool The exact number of those who perished is not given, but fortunately it is not very large, u the Elizabeth and Jen* was a small vessel. _ _ _ RLacun orT; C RW IY SBY A LIII3OAT.-0111 Battu day, • fiat foundered off the West Hoyle Bask, near Liver pool, and the new were obliged to take to their punt. It was blowing hard from the westward at the time, and the punt not having oars or sails was cousequently knocked about in the most dangerous manner. The water was continually breaking over the host, and it required the mast rapid bailing to keep her afloat. The perilous position of the men having been observed on land. the crew of the Point of Ayr life boat were communicated with, sod they, with an alacrity to be highly commended, !attached their boat and succeeded in rescuing them.

Tun BANOS DE CAMIN AGAIN. —The Baron de Camin bad been announced to lecture in Bradford in the early part of lain week. but was prevented from doing so in consequence of his felling to comply with the demand of the trustees of the room he desired to engage, that he should guarantee to them the payment of the expenses of say damage dose to the building in case of • riot. Plante & subsequently announced that he would deliver an address on Saturday afternoon in the open sir, on • large space of ground known as Reamer Walk, not far distant from the pariah church. An immense crowd of people me 'moonily assembled, • comiderable portion of them of a respectable class, but • large number cossisting of the lower order of frisk. On the arrival of the baron, about five o'clock, he sod his immediate supporters 'masted a wherry. Mr. John Schofield, a working man, was caned to the chair, and made a few introductory obeavations,which were heard in peace. He claimed for the baron a fair and impartial hearing. The baron was also quietly listened to for some time, but it could be observed that a number of the evil-disposed were meanwhile gathering round the extem pore platform. Suddenly a storm of yells was raised, and a violent commotion ensued. The adherents of the baron formed a compact body it front of him, but in • sheet time the chairman was bustled from the wherry into the crowd, and speedily re-appeared with • face from which the blood was streanthig fearfully, the effect, it is believed, of wounds inflicted with stones. He was immediately con veyed from the spot to a place of safety. The attack was then renewed, and the baron, after being stripped of his cloak sad hat, was also dragged from the platform, and re ceived several cuts in the face acid forehead. The mayor and chief constable now made their way forward, sad took the unfortunate baron under their protection. Apparently satisfied with what they had accomplished the ASHES be came quieter, and the arrival at this juncture of • largo minim of the polka force, who had been kept In readiness at the station, wee hailed with loud cheers.
