ELOPEMENT IN HIGH LIEF..—The Lady Rose Somerse, fourth daughter of the Duke of Beantirt, and (' IPtain Francis Lovell, whose elopement from Badminton we noticed in Thursday's paper, were married on Sunday last. The persons present at the ceremony, and the place at which it was performed, suggest the agreeable inference that a reconciliation has taken place amongst all parties. The marriage took place at Wroughton, the seat of John Lovell, Esq., and was solemnised by the Rev. E. Everard, chaplain to the Duke of Beaufort. THE REGISTRATIONS. Los Dov.--.ii;:Arnold,;;;;;cloitnorning, delivered judgment in the case of Thomas Parsons, who claimed to be regkered in respect of the occupation of "Rooms, Alder manbury." The claimant occupied, under the same land lord, two rooms, communicating internally with each other, upon the third floor, and a cellar or workshop on the base: meat of the house. There is a separate and distinct entrance from the street into the workshop, which hos no internal communication with the rest of the house. The value of the two rooms and ellar together is more than 101. per annum, but the value of the two rooms by themselves or of the cellar by itself, is less than that sum. Mr. Parsons was not rated to the only rate made in the parish in the course of the year; but a claim was made after the making of that rate, and when the rate in respect of the whole house had been paid. The claim to be rated was for "two rooms."—Mr. Arnold said the case involved two points: first, whether the two rooms on the third floor and the cellar on the basement do not constitute two separate and distinct buildings, and are not, as such, incapable of being joined together for the pur pose of conferring a qualification under the 27th section of the Reform Act ; and secondly, assuming that they con stitute only one building, whether the claim to be rated, being for two rooms only, is sufficient as a claim to be rated for the two rooms and the cellar. Upon the latter point he enterthined some doubts, bat was inclined to think, if the case had rested upon that point alone he should have con sidered it a virtual rating. But he thought the case must fail on the first point, the cellar and work shop being to all intents and purposes a separate and distinct tenement from the two roams on the third floor. — Mr. W. Hitchcock, of Lad-lane, also obtained costs from Mr. Brown, to the amount of 201., which he handed over to Mr. Wansey, the agent for the Liberals, amidst considerable laughter. —Mr. Arnold, during the day, went through the lists of the following parishes : St. Faith under St. Paul ; tit. Martin Ludgate; St. Matthew Friday-street; St. Mi chael le Quern ; St. Peter Westeheap ; St. Vedast, alias Foster; St. Andrew Holborn ; St. Bartholomew the Great ; and St. Bartholomew the Leas.—The following is the result of the day's resish.n : Liberal objections sustained, 8; failed. M. Conservative objections sustained, 69; failed, 98. Double objections sustained, 15 ; failed, 1. Liberal chins sustained, 9; failed, 8. MlDDLESEX,—Yesterday, L. Shadwell, Esq., the bar rister appointed to revise the list of voters for the county, held a court at White Conduit House, Islington, for the revi sion of the lists of the district comprising the following pa.righes and liberties : St. Luke's, St. Sepulchre, Stoke Newington Gray's-inn, the Rolls, St. Pancras, St. Maryle bone, Paddington, St. Botolph Without, Aldersgate, Saffron hill, Hatton-garden, Ely-place, St. George, Bloomsbury, St. Giles-in the-fields, and St. Andrew's, Holborn. In the list of St. Andrew's, Holborn, and St. George-the-Martyr, a chummade by Bryan Holme, on account of a rent-charge o , IN., was objected to by the Liberals. Mr. James put in a deed, bearing date 13th December, 1845, worrying the rent-charge to the claimant, the first not being made payable on the day subsequent to the date of the deed, and having e npaid on the day the deed was dated. Th e barrister allowed the claim. Mr. Payne asked th" banister if he considered that the rent, having been paid b . .efore it was d ue , was a goo d paymen t . —M r . Shadwell tnought it was. Mr. Payne observed, that this was one of the numerous votes m anu f ac t ure d th roug h the intervention theof league. The barrister could not help that. He would not alb,w the claim if he could avoid it. Mr. James was THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 13, 1846. sorry to hear such an observation. In the Safi'ron-hill list, a claim made by the Rev. E. Piney, as perpetual curate of St. rater's &strict church, Saffron-hill, was disallowed, on the ground of misdescription. The barrister holding that a per p_tual curacy weeper se no qualification. The claim should have been for • life interest of more than 101. valne. An appeal was granted in this case, the decision upon which will govern several others in the caurse of the revision. In the St. Luke's list, a claim by D'lffanger, jun., arising out of a freehold rent-charge of 404., on premises in Golden-lane, was objected to by Mr. Payne, and defended by Mr. Fitch. The ground of objection was, that as the rent-charge was only con veyed in January last to the claimant, he could not have been in possession of the tents and profits till July, instead of six months before, as requirqd by the act; and although rent had been paid in January, yet as it was not due till July, in law it was no payment, sufficient to entitle the party to be on the register for the present year. The barrister held that any payment on account of a rent-charge gave the possessor the actual scisin required by the law from the date of such payment, the claim mu.t therefore be allowed. EAST SURREY.—The Revising Barrister, Mr. T. C. C. Fish, held a court yesterday at the Workhouse Com mittee-room, Bermondsey, for the purpose of revising the lists of voters in that district. The Rev. W. Curling, one of the chaplains of St. Saviours church, claimed a right to vote in respect of his office. Mr. Sturmy, the vestry-clerk, opposed the claim on the ground that although the reverend gentleman held a freehold office, yet he did not derive each a revenue from lauds as would entitle him to a vote. TAO chaplains were nppointed under a local act, and they were paid by a rate levied upon the inhabitants generally, who were liable by their goods and chattels, and also per sonally, in the event of their failing to pay. Mr. Sturmy referred to the various acts of parliament bearing upon the question, and contended that the mode in which the chaplains were paid could not bo construed into a free hold interest an land, which was the qualification under which the right to vote was now sought to be sub rtontiated.—Mr. J. Curling having showed cause in support of the claim, the Revising Barrister said the only point in the case was whether the claimant possessed a freehold in terest in the land. There was no doubt that he held a frce hold office, but it appeared to him that the act of parliament under which he received his salary, by giving a power of distraint upon the goeds and of imprisonment, in the event of non-payment, contemplated a merely personal liability, and that there was, consequently, not such an interest in land as was requireitto give the right to vote, and the claim must therefore he disallowed.—Sisteen fresh claims, sup ported by the Free Traders, in respect of two freehold houses worth about 46!. a year, were all held to be good by the Revising Brirriger, and the names of the parties were placed upon the list of voters. raw then; r roe the dip Into Chas Ray, whose. vas hely a treasadoas gale and sea cashemsbs mimosa streedehowilews= bug tares petishid. pia Clanton would haus us lam was as ulanageggeset at Ow Cheat Vhsa them warts. age sealhols ewer we ale slime teli sie The Mow L gams, Oapleia Dame eamwrads4 WOO WI JolosiT , 1843, Ong away ben Comma bobser; 30 of So raw asei 17 pas. stagers way iiterasi.

The force drove the stem of the pipe completely through his gullet. The parish surgeons extracted the pipe, and ordered his instant removal to Guy's Hospital. Very little hopes are entertained of his recovery.—K ILL ED BY aar Ox.—ln exercising the right of the relement, called the Third Buffs, to pus through the city of London, with colours unfurled and drums beating, was yesterday afternoon tho cause of an accident stunted by the loss of life. A division of the regiment marched into London over Black friars-bridge while a drove of bullocks from Suoithtield was palming towards the bridge, and in Chatham-place one of the beasts, irritated by the noise of the drums and the glare of the red coats, dashed three times among the soldiers, created considerable confusion in the ranks, and threw over two of the men. Driven from among them, by slight use of the bayonet, the bullock started amid the crowd of lookers on, and a young girl, ten or twelve years old, was struck to the pavement by the infuriated animal, and her skull dread fully fractured. She expired in the arms of a man who raised her from the ground, and was taken, a corpse, to Bridewell Hospital.—FALL or A BRIME.—A man of the name of Mdls was passing over the wooden bridge at Brent ford lock, with two horses, when the bridge suddenly broke in the middle, and precipitated both Mills uni the hows into the water. One of the horses in its struggles struck its head on the edge of the bridge, and was killed on the spot, but the other one swam to the shore, dragging Mills with him, and both were saved. LNQUEiTS. DEATII FROM FIRS IN KENT arittgr.—By Mr. Payne, on the body of Ellen Sharp, aged 18, and also into the cause of the fire in which she lost her life, on Friday last, at the Royal Standard, White-street, Borough. Mr. John Sharp, the occupier of the house, priater and bookseller, said that on Friday night at about nine o'clock he walked out, leaving his wife, h:s three daughters, almost children, of whom the deceased was one. Keudall, his apprentice, and a girl named Barber, aged 12 years, in the back parlour making fireworks. Ile had been gone about ten minutes, when he heard that one of the houses in the street was on fire, and, on returning, he found it was his own, Ile rushed into the back parlour. and, after searching :bout with other persons, he fousel the deceased sitting behind the counter burned to death or sale ace' by the smoke. The thorowindow was blown out into the street. Witness believed that tke fire commenced in the hack par lour. Ills daughter Emma was making squibs with a com poition of saltpetre and gunpowder kept in an earthenware pan, and was returning come of this composition into the pau from a saucer in which she had been using it, when a spark flew from the fire and it all exploded. The lire spread fromthenee to the shop, and let uhf all the fireworks, a great Ruant:ty of which were kept there. Deceased was, at the time, behind the counter, and a great quantity ex ploded in he: face. Witness's other dau4hter, Emma, and his apprentice, are now in the hospital from the injuries they sustained.—After some further evidence the Coroner raid the manufacture of fireworks in such a place was eltarly an illegal act, and the jury might make him criminall responsible for the con-equence.—Verdict, "Accidental Death," and the jury added that they i consi der the conduct of Mr. Sharp highly censurable, n per mitting the manufacture of fireworks by children, and in a neighbourhood so densely populated —Dr.arn F:tOM RAT POISUN.—By Mr. Mills, at the Rutland Arms, Rutland. street, Hampstead-road, respecting the death of Mr. Charles Tatham, aged 41 years, recently resident at No. 52, Stan hope-street. The deceased was an army accoutrement maker, and for some time past had been in a low and desponding state. Ile was also subject to delusions. On Thursday he purchased at the shop of Mr. Starkie, chemist, of No. 4, Strand, a grey powder, called " Butler's Vermin and Insect Killer." On his return home he was taken ill, aud admitted that he had taken poison ; he died in two hours. A post Inortria examination fully proved that the deceased died from the Mixt, of arsenic, and, from an analysis of th • powders, the surgeon discovered that one of them contained sufficient poison to kill six men.—Verdict, " Tem , porury Insanity." The jury then added they " strongly condemned the sale of poisons in open chops, withent the best precautions being adopted to prevent the frequent evil consequences of such sale. They regard the present instance as one which calls fur severe reprobation ; and truest that a public exposure of the fact will tend to prevent in some degree the mischief which they believe is frequently occur ring from the Wile of poisons in druggivs' heuses."— DEATH FILO , / NEGLIGEN , E.—Bv Mr. Payne, at Guy's Hospital, on the body of Henry'Coleman ' aged twenty-five, a signal-man employed on the Croydon Atmospheric Rail way. Alexander Smith deposed that deceased was a signal man, employed on that and the adjoining lines. At ten o'clock that m.naing witness was in the first or piston car riage, proceeding towards the Dartmouth Arms, behind the Brighto.i express train, travelling at the rate of between 4.5 and 50 miles an hone, and on getting a little past Sydenham, he saw the deceased give the " all right" signal to the Brighton train. Deceased was then standing close by the rails of the atmospheric line leok;ng alter the train which had just wseel, and when about 100 yards from him, wit ness and Dir. Samtla, who was also in the piston carriage, shouted to him as loudly as they could, but deceased did not turn round until too lute, for the carriage struck him with such force as to kaock him a distance of 19 yards. He was immediately put into a first-class carriage and conveyed to the hospital. Had the deceased been in his proper position, a box six feet from the rail., the accident could not have happened. Deceased, when admitted into the hospital, was quite dead. Verdict: "Accidental Death."--De era sloes FALLING ON A RAILWAY.—By Mr. William Baker, THE ABOLITION OF ECCLESI %BTICAL COrftTe.— Last evening a public meeting of the inhabitants of Lam beth was held at the Southwark Literary and Scientific In stitution, to hear from the Rev. Mr. Museum an explanation of the objects of the society recently formed fir procuring the abolition of the Ecclesiastical Courts. Benjamin Hawes, Esq., M.P., presided; and in opening the proceedings re marked that it would be in the recollection of all who had watched the progress of this subject that successive govern ments had adopted measures for improving the condition of the eeclesiaetical courts, the present government being amonget the number; but all attempts had up to the pre -eta time proved futile and unsatisfactory. Finding this to be the case, Mr. Muscutt had undertaken the task of enlighten ing the public on the important question. It was with that view that the society for procuring the abolition of the eccle siastical courts was formed. About sixteen years ago a com mission was:iseued from the Crown, and in cons quencc of the investigation then made many material improvements were suggested in the report, which was signed by the Arch bishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London, Dr. Ludiing ton, and other dignitaries, both ecclesiastical and civil. Ex tensive changes and reforms were r,commended by the corn miusioners, but nothing to the present hour had been done; ' for the report failed to arouse the public, in consequence of the ignorance which prevailed. There were at present in England 235 court.) having only twenty-seven advocates who were privileged to plead in them. They were independent of the Crown and the bishops, had no regular bar, no defined standard of law, and were presided over by persona utterly incompetent to discharge their duties. There were many other anomalies ir.to which he would not enter, as by doing so he should be trespassing on the province of his reverend friend. He would content himself by saying that in his private station as an individual. and in his public capacity as member for Lambeth, he would heartily support the society, of which his reverend friend was the recognised agent. Mr. Muscutt then delivered his lecture, but as the points con tained in his address have already been reported in this journal, it is unnecessary to repeat them. A Tote of thanks to the reverend gentleman and Mr. Hawes closed the pro ceedings. MR.

LlMERlCK.—Snaenta—An adjourned meeting under 9th and 10th Victoria, cap. 107, of the magistrates and ems payers of the barony of Shanid, was on Tuesday held at Shanagolden. A report having been in carcubation for some days previous, that an outbreak would take place, the military detachments from Askcaton and Rathkeale, with a large body of police from the differ ent out-stations, arrived there at eleven o'clock. The report, however, proved to be altogether groundless. The magistrates in attendance were, the Right Hon. Lord Mouteagle, the Hon. Stephen Edward Spring Rice, Sir Veto de Vere, Bart., the Knight of Olin, Wil lia m Smith O'Brien, Esq., M.P. At one o'clock, the Right Hon. Lord Mont , eagle was called to the chair. His lordship addressed the ' meeting, and impressed upon them the necessity (for the short tame it should he necessary) of persevering in their truly creditable and praiseworthy condact, and that imme diate relief, by lo ca l em pl o y men t, wou ld be given to every man requiring it. His lordship then called upon Captain Kennedy to lay before the meeting the report of the presentments committed to his care at the original meeting. Captain Kennedy came forward, and court', only entreated the indulgence of the meeting, as, f ot ee the overwhelming mass of business which devolved upon him, he was altogether unable to lay before thr ee the detailed and . accurate report which he knew to be necessary, and stated that " if he was made of f:neet and his brains of quicksilver, it would be impossrole for him to do so in the short time given him far th at purpose." Capt. K. then brought forward and submitte d a number of ' presentment+ for new roads in the barony of Shanid, among which was a presentment for two tramrr o ds ; and, after a long discussion as to whether it were better to enter iato each presentment separately, or send the .m altogether for the consideration of the Board of Works, it was taaanimour y re • solved, that all the presentments sub mitre& by Capt. Ken nedy, and also a large number of presentments for local works in the neighbourhood of Sh anagelden, should be for warded to the Board of Woeke, for their consideration and selection. William Smith O'Brier „Req.., H.P. thee came for ward, and proposed twu reeoluf ams, we of which was con demnatory of the sth article of 'le new " Instructions for the formation and guidance ofCorr animists," which, he said, if car ried into t ffect, would deprive committeesof some of their most efficient members, among vr . aim were the Roman Catholic en rates of the different Inca I it; es, and that the Shanagoldenrelief committee should stand 'in its original form. Tne second resolution referred to t ne limitation of Relief Districts to one or more parishes." It was shown that parishes were so scattered and exclus'ev e is their localities, as to make the proposed regulation e uitc impracticable. These resolutions were seconded by ti's Knight of Olin, and carried unani mously.—Mr. S. 0' Brien expressed a strong epinion of the absolute necessieer of having government depots immediately opened for the sale of Indian meal. CLANWILL !AM.—John Croker, was chairman of a preparatory meeting of the magistrates and cesspayers of the barony of C lanwilliaun,at the County Court-house, Limerick, on Thum' ay, to make arrangements fur the holding of the extmordi nary presentment sessions, under 10th Victoria, at Ballyne' .ty on Monday. It was stated that the labouring population of the barony in went of employment is eO,OOO, and it was agreed to expend 1,0001. per week in public works so as to effort labour for two months. OWNEYREO.—At Merroe extraordinary presentment ses sions. on Wednesday (for the barony of Owneybeg), Caleb Powell, Esq., M.P., presided, and the other magistrates present were Capt. Kane, John T. Devitt, and William F. Holland, Esqrs. Ceespavers : George I)uhT, Patrick M'Grath, and Thomas Fogarty. For completing the un finished works in the barony, a sum of 4701. was granted, and for making new roads, repairing old ones, lowering hills, and filling hollows, the amount approved of Was 0,0271. LIMERICK CITY PRF.SLKTMENT SEENIONS.—The ma gistrates and ccespayers of the borough of Limerick held an extraordinary presentment sessions for the city, at the Tholeel, on Friday, pursuant to his Excellency's proclama tion, under the 10th Vie., for providing relief. The Mayer presided. After the several presentments had been discussed and agreed to, including 2,000/. to build a Iteman Catholic church in St. John's parish, Alderman Gerry adverted to the expediency of constructing the earth work. of such portion of the Limerick and Mule ville railway line n+ was within the borough, said that ti ll h Act had not passed, the necessary plans, specifi cations, &c., had been lodged, and matters nearlycompleted, so that if they presented tor a sum of money to carry on the earth works near Limerick, it would not be sanctioned by the board, if there was a doubt about the success of the bill. —Mr. lull: I have an application prepared for that line also.—This gave rise to a long discussion, in the course of which several opposed the application, conceiving it would nit be rem to undertake a project which had not been sanc tioned by Parliament—over which no provisional committee exercised central, and where there was no guarantee that the railway would ever be constructed. It 'A nal.° ev plained, that a great portion of the advance sought for (6,0001.) would have to he expended in compensation to the proprietors of land. Dr. Griffin, Mr. Dickson, Capt. Kane, and Mr. Farnell sup. ported the applieation, which, on a di v i s i on , was l os t by a majority of four. The following resolution was adopted on the motion of Mr. Raleigh, seconded by the High Sheriff: —" That in consequence of the extremely hi4h price of food in tLie city at present, owing to the failure of the potato crap,—the magistrate, and ems payers do take steps to obtain a loan of 0.0001. for the purchase of pmeieions, to be retailed tothe poor at a cheap price —the money to be placed at the di-poesl of the relief committee. 20N. was granted to repair the Salmon-weir hank.

Mr. Hurst rer.udiated the idea of going to the poor-house, and said that the labouring class wished to earn their bread by the sweat of their brow, and not become paupers on the country. He paid a handsome compliment to Mr. Millar, of Dawnpatrick, who had employed some labourers at Is. 3d. per day, and, in consideration of the high price of food and loss of the potato crop, raised their wages to Is. 6d. The speaker then called on other gentlemen who employed labourers to "go and do likewise." Mr. Hurst denied that the meeting was a selitious meeting, as had been stated by some individuals, unless it was sedition to look for bread, and the means to earn it; and in that case he was a very seditious person, as he had exerted himself in forwarding the views of '‘ those poor persons who had got up this meeting. He then requested of all assembled to return quietly home, and prove to their enemies that it was not a seditious meeting, and that they were not seditiously disposed. Thanks were then voted to the chairman, and the meeting quietly separated. There were about 400 persons present. .

I said _:— STATE OF TH E SOUTIL—CueNTT CO Tuesday morning last (saes a correspondent of the Cork Southern Re porter), Mr. Oallwev proceeded to Caharagh, and arrived there before six. On his arrival he found, as on Monday, that the 200 men listed for the works were unable to proceed with them, being awed by the presence and threats of a superior number; but after some time he succeeded in getting the 121N1 to work and order restored, and returned to Skib bereen at nine o'clock, his presence being required in cones quence of a very prevalent report haahg been circulated that 3,000 from the parishes of Kilmore, Skull, and Ballydeheb, would come into the town that day ; to.goard against which a mounted policeman was placed on the road in that direc tion two miles out of town, but no appearance of any body of men was made. On Wednesday the town was much crowded ; the poor wretches who had been at work 10 days not Laving been paid a shilling, having come to sav that their strength was exhausted ; and the gentlemen of the late committee, who arc acting independent of the government and actually staving an outbreak, in the kindest manna r agreed to pay the men out of their private monies until they ereived tkeir wages. Too much praise cannot be given to those gentlemen whose time and money are not spared in the relief of the distressed. Captain Gordon arrived I esterday, and was in close con sult ation with the c,,mmitie. , for several hours, the result of which was, Ilia expressed determination to recommend fur ther works. Whilst he was with the committee two respect able farmers asked for admision, and on appearing, stated that they came to make affidavits of the state of the parish of Caharagh ; that parties of men wire going ab out seeking food ; ,hat many were living on the leaves ofcabbage plants ; and that under the circumstancis no man's haggart was safe an hour. It appears that meal was taken front two mills and milk to mix wish it from several farmers, but in no in stance was more taken than appeased hunger. At four o'cicck a half troop of the Ist Dragoon Guards arrived here, where I understand they will be quartered—how much better would a half cargo of food be ; meal would be more digestible to hungry stomachs than cold steel; and certainly an ounce of biscuit more palatable than an ounce of lead. COUNTY LI MERU-K.—The Limerick Chronicle of yes terday has the following painful announcements, illus trative of the condition of the south of this county. The first paragraph is particularly significant. Such is [the panic in the families of country gentlemen, and the fear of popular commotion and violence, that several this week sent into Limerick their plat: and private papers, fur security from a mulitude excited by want. Several sail boats with corn, front both sides of the Shannon, were stopped on Friday, on their passage to this market. A sheep, the property of E. Maunsell, Esq. of Meelick, near this city, was maliciously killed on Wednesday night, and the carcase carried away. In the district of Doonass, on Wednesday night, and Thursday morning, eight acres of turnips were dug up and taken away by the country people, to satisfy, they said, their immediate wants, in the absence of potatoes. Three hundred sacks of corn conveying to our market on Wednesday, were turned off by the country people near Bird•hia, and the owners were obliged to sell the grain at the neighbouring mills. At Newport the mob would have plundered eight carts laden with flour from Rockvale mills .m their way to Limerick but fur Sub-Inspector Lewis, who remonstrated with them, when they suffered the cars to pro ceed. A multitude of destitute people assembled at Clare, and marches! into Danis, threatening to stop the transit of corn to market, and prevent the shipment of grain or flour, unless thdr necessities were relieved. Capt. Leyne, S. M., addressed the unfortunate crowd, assuring them of relief by employment in a few days, and prevailed on them to leave the town. J. O'Brien, Esq., M.P. ' was appealed to by a crowd of destitute labourers at Clare, anti has written to Dublin Castle in their behalf. STATE OF THE WEST.—Cocstrr GALWAY.— The Tuam correspondent of the Ga'soczy Mercury states that but for the exertions of the Rev. Mr. Roche, a Roman Catholic clergyman, the people of Tuam would have had no food ; for were it not for his endeavours the Galway people would not permit a pound of flour or meal to pass out. At a meeting of the Tuam town commissioners, it was re solved to apply for a military force, and for a resident magi strate, for the purpose of securing the safe transit of food through the country. It was also agreed to request his excel lency to establish a depot for the sale of Indian corn in this town. A t'souisition is in progress calling a general meeting of the inhabeants, to. devise measures fur the relief of the poor. No dessaiption can paint their sufferings in too strong colours. STATE OF THE NORTH.—Coerce Down.—On Thursday evening a large meeting, chiefly labourers and mechanics, and a few of the clergymen and other charitable individuals, was held, pursuant to public advertisement, in Downpatrick, for the purpose oi` taking into consideration the best means of having the wages Of the labouring classes ad vanced, so as to meet the high price of food ; Mr. William Hynds, farmer, in the chair. A nuraber of resolutions were put and carried unanimously, to the eject that the present rate of wages, varying from Bd. to Is. 3.1. per day, was in suffieient for the support of a labouring :man, who had, perhaps, a numerous family to maintain, leaving nothing for house rent and clothing; and that they considered Is. Bd. the smallest sum sufficient to support a family, now that the usual sustenance—the potato—is destroyed.

A large meeting of the labourers took place at Stone Hall, near Newmarket, on Wednesday, which was attended by multitudes from every part of the country.—The principal object seemed to be the devising of some plan to prevent the exportation of grain. A report was circulated that the Messrs: Ban natync intended to load a boat at Clare Castle on next day (Thursday), and it was resolved to proceed thither and prevent the exportation by force, if it should be by any means attempted. Early on Thursday morniug the village of Clare was crowded with poor men from every quarter, who, as they proceeded towards the place of meeting, entered the farmyards of Sir Lucius O'Brien, Messrs. Power, Kenny, and Healy, and obliged the men there engaged at work to join them. They also forced several gentlemen and farmers whom they met to accompany them to Clare, where about 12 o'clock an immense multitude had congregated. Here they were met by Captain Leyne, KM., who addressed them and requested that they would commit no breach of the peace. In reply the people said they would be satis fied with Sd. a day if they could get Indian corn for Sd. per atone; or in other words, that they must get a stone of meal for a man's day's labour. Mr. Leyne promised to forward their wishes to the Lord Lieutenant, and assured them that they would get food in a little time as cheaply as they had it all last summer. The people expressed l i themselves satisfied with this, but repeated the declaration that they would not allow the Ennis merchants to rend nny corn out of the county. A troop of Hussars from Limerick arrived about ten o'clock in the morning, and were stationed in the yard of the barracks ready mounted for any emer gency, but all passed off qnietly, and their assistance was not required, as no attempt was made to load the boats with corn. Alter the meeting had separated, the Dragoons marched to Ennis lo be stationed. A correspondent writing also called on the relief committee of last season, in whose hands ' it appears, there still remains an overplus, to apply to the Lord Lieutenant for a bonus, such as had been granted to other places, to enable them to sell provisions to the industrious poor at or under cost prii.c. Another resolu tion was to the effect, that the condition of the labouring from Clare says, " the country for ten or fifteen miles round was one great rising. Thank God, all passed offw ithout the slightest injury to person or property, but GA on:y can tell how long this tranquillity will continue." SCOTLAND. SCOTCU ECCLESIASTICAL MatTests.—Proceedings have been in progress at Glasgow during the week which have been regarded with much interest by the great body of Scot liah Dissenters, as well as by numerous adherents in England and Ireland. Yesterday week the synods, or chi.if ecclesias tical courts, of the United Associate and the Relief denomi nations of Dissenters, commenced their separate sittings in that city, with the view of completing a unian or amalga mation before their sederunts were finally brought to a close. This union has been for some tune in contempla tion, and accordingly a basis, upon which it was proposed to be accomplished. had been prepared by a joint committee from the two bodies. The terms of this buis came on for consideration before the respective synods in the beginning of the week, and by the Relief Church it was agreed to with very trifling alteration. Extensive alterations were, how ever, made in the proposed articles by the United Associate Synod. Whatever differences of opinion might exist were smoothed down by deputations or the two bodies, who visited each synod in turn ; and accordingly, after several days' deliberation, they all, on Friday last, became unanimous, and it may now be said that nothing save the f...rmalities re main to compete a union between these two bodies, who, before the I ree Church secession, were by far the most im portant classes of Dissenters in Scotland. The f iundcrs of both the United Associate and the Relief Sc nods seceded from the Church of Scotland upwards of 100 years ago, though they have all along remained at one with the Esta blishment in respect to doctrine. They have, how ever, been regarded as rival dissenters, and generally did not iraternize much with each other, until the great things doing, and proposed ta be done by the Free Church have drawn them closer together, and possibly accelerated an amalgamation which mieht not yet have been accomplished for some years.. The United Associate Synod is a numerous and highly respectable body, and the Itclief, though less numerous, is equally estimable. The former has 21 presbyteries (three of them in England), containing about :190 cougregationa• and the latter (the Relief) comprehends 11 preshyteries and 114 congregations. PROVINCIAL. LANCASHIRE.

Hundreds of quadrupeds, birds, and reptile's, cover the ground, the surface of the water, and the trees. Lion., tigers, panthers, and the other feline animals ; the majestic elephant, the ponderous hippopotamus, and the stately g:ratfe, are all represented ; the bear, the sloth, the ape, and the monkey tribe, dispute with the serpents and snakes possession of the foliage ; while birds flutter among the tvmost branches, and squirrels leap from bough to bough. The' aquatic birds cover the waters ; while the eagle, the vulture, the hawk, and other birds of prey, roar in the air; the parti-coloured creatures of the parrot tribe are not omitted; lizards and other reptiles caul on the ground ; and insects flutter in the sunshine. The picture, from its large size, and the very great number of animals depicted, requires time for its careful examination. TOItKSIIII:ti. LATINO THE. FOUNDATION STONE OF AN INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL AT Ltmiss.—Yesterday, the ceremony of laying tho foundation stone of a moral anti industrial training school for the pauper children of the township of Leeds, was performed by John Metcalfe, Esq., the Chairman of the Board of Guardians, in the presence of a numerous ass. niblage of spec tators, amongst whom were the Mayor of Leeds, the Vicar of Leeds, W.

The trowel hail been purchased by subscription amongst the guardians, not May to CollllilefllutEte. the commencement of the building of which he was one of the projectors, but also to murk their high sense of his valuable services in various public Aires, rape ciaih us their chairman. The stone having been . lowered into its appointed place, the chairman struck it with a mallet three times. saying,"Thusthus—thus---I lay the founda tion stone of a Mural and Industrial Training School for the Pauper Children of the township of Leeds; and may Almighty God, the great Architect of the universe, give his Divine blessing to the undertaking, and grant that it may bo productive of much benefit to the pour destitute children for whoa., reception the institution is intended." The chairman then delivered u ' , nimble address tu the macnil,led spectators, is the course of which he expressed the satisGetion be felt at having been enabled to take part in the commencement of a work which he trusted would be the means, under the bless ing of Divine l'rovidenee, of effectieg an csteusite and last ing improvement in the condition of the unfortunate children who might hereafter becomc chargeable to tha pariah. The Right Worshipful the Mayor also siEressed the aes.einhlage, enlarging upon the advantages of education to all ranks of the peo•de, and epreally to those iu the humbler walks of life, anti expressed, a fervent hope that the institution which they had that day commenced would realise the most sanguine expectations of its promoters.

The National Anthem was sung by the workhouse children, the whole company joining, and the Reverend the Vicar of Leeds having pro nouneed the benediction, the proceedings terminated. The pruposed institution is to be erected on a piece of land, six acres in extent, which has been purchased by the guardians, under the sanction of the l'oor-law Commissioner , , in one of the finest and must eligible situations that could be found, on the easternmost side of the township. The estimated cost will be about 12,0001.; and it is intended to provide ac commodation for about 490 pupils. The building will be construete.l in the Elixabt.than style of archinwture, under the direction of Mew's. Perkin am! 'deckhouse, architects.

NORTIIUMBIMLAND. THE. CASE OF ALLEGED MVUDER BY NAVIOATORS was brought before the magistrates of Newcastle on Saturday. The prisoners, who arc both Irishmen, gave their names as George Matthews and John Ilughes : they stood charged with the murder of Daniel Hives, at Long Benton. J. Blackrock, policeman, stated that he had found the de ceased's mit and waistcoat in Benton-lane, having, it was supposed, been stolen by one of the prisoners. Witness had been informed by a man named Graham that about a month ago deceased and Matthews had a fight, when the latter was defeated, Hughes at the time appearing as his countryman's second; Graham, however, having seen the prisoners in the dock, declined to swear to their identity. Witness added that he bad ascertained that the deceased received 11. 18a. 4d. wages on Saturday night; and that ho had, in addition, borrowed Gs. It could be proved, how ever, that the greater part of that sum had been expended by deceased ; so that there was no reason to suppose that ho had been robbed of money. Other witnesses deposed to the apprehension of the prisoners. When taken, Hughes stated that he was not guilty, cud that the other had done the deed. Matthews, again, obstinately denied all knowledge of the affair. Thomas Common, surgeon, deposed that he was cancel upon to examine the body of the deceased. Ho found, in the upper part of the right thigh, an incised wound, in an oblique direction, about two inches in length, three quarters of an inch broad, and an inch and a half in depth. It had been inflicted by a plunge and a cut afterwards, and must have been done with considerable force. The femoral artery was transpierced am! lacerated. A penknife might have inflicted the wound. Matthews, when called upon, said nothing. Hughes simply said that he was not guilty. The bench were about to commit the prisoners for trial, when Mr. Reed, coroner, suggested that it would be better to defer doing so until the jury had pro nounced their verdict. The bench acquiesced, an : remanded the prisoners until Tuesday (this day). There is no doubt that they will then be committed. SUFFOLK. A SUFFOLK Ron Ror.—Mr. J. Hatton, chirf-constable of Staffordshire, who had been previously chief-unstable of Suffolk, stated before the Game Laws Committee, that at Snipe (in Suffolk) there was a notorious poachtr who took out a license and employed a number of poachers under him ; that he carried on poaching as a business; had large cages in which ho kept live game, si cat out with his gun, and in every cue where those whom be employed were brought forward by the police, invariably defended them. This finsily man of the poachers, whose name is Gowing, was actually brought before the Game Laws Committee, and most curious evidence he gave. It appears that noblemen and gentlemen make no scruple of calling into requisition the services of Gowing, when anxious to plunder each other, or to obtain frame in the prohibited season. In short, English gentlemen. it would appear, differ not a greet deal from those Rigilaud lairds of a century ago, who, for a consideration, lent their countenance to reeves. An incident stated by Gowing in the commencement of his evidence would have gladdened the heart of Sir Walter Scott, who would have made a great deal of such a character : olt was in the month of March.
