IRELAND. 4.-- DUBLIN, Ocr. 23. The commissioners for inquiring into the condition and other particulars relating to endowed schools in Ireland held their first public court in Dublin yes terday. The commissioners are the Marquis of Kil dare (chairman); the Rev. Dr. Graves, T.C.D.; Dr. Andrew., Q.C.; Mr. H. 0. Hughes, Q.C. ; and Mr A. J. Stevens. The only endowed school in the Dublin district against which any complaint has been forwarded to the commissioners is the Borough School of Swords; and owing to the indisposition of Mr. Hughes, Q.C., one of the commissioners, who wished to be present on the occasion, the inquiry was postponed to Thursday next. Respecting_ the late attempt at usamination in Cavan, the. Mail of last night says:—" The unfortu nate lady, Min Hinds, eull lives ' but is io a most premises condition. She has the command of her mind end her senses—she can speak, and hear, and see. To hops for recovery , however, with the mur dereeskallst in her brain, is, we fear, not warranted by sesdisal soignee." TM &enders Reporter gives the followise parti culate of an outrage committed by some Austrian sailors et Cork : Oa le& a most savage assault was attempted to be comalmed some stilon belonging to the Antrim ship / assail, Illevioneld. Bodieleris hag at Tinian opposite lilsesese,eze:Sof inennesed Janes Walsh. The vessel bad bees a eerie of ewe for WW2. Gould and Whiners, of ty, Wei* ectlog as disehsrging WWII for that Arm; sail am the esmenuon of the work on Friday the mate west up sad asked Walsh for the paper en whin he had kept an account oftheeers diseharged. This Walsh refused to give up, but offered the seats a espy of it written with pencil, which the mate refused, and reiterated, with threats, his demar.d for the original. Welsh still refined, and, ening Indications of an attack being about te be made on him by some of the crew, be got into the lighter, which was alongside, but not deeming himself quite sate there, he thee went from theses into punt which was attached to it, sod pulled off. The sailors immediately lowered roe of their boats, into which four of them got armed with knives and handspikes, sad a regular chase ormsesneed. Walsh pulled literally for his life, in the ellessiss of Marino, the residence of T. G. Item* Ilse. So eager were the ruffians for his blood that, when they saw him draw near the shore, one or two of them beeped out of the boat and waded through the water, in hopes of catchieg hint before he could land. Re tended eddy, however, sad immediately made for the house, hollowed by the sailors, who, having also got en shore, penned him through the demesne with loud oaths a nd illprecatiowo. Walsh succeeded in reaching the house before they could come up with him, where hest once ob tained admittance, and all the imitates beteg out, with the enseption of a daughter sot Mr. French's, and a few female esneaM, the front door was instantly bolted. The sailors some up immediately after, and demanded that Welsh shield be given up to them, and on tt is being refused they meet rimed to the back entrance, thinking to force tbtir way la there, but this was also bolted before they gut geed, On woman had the courage to remain outside fur nos of remonstrating with them, and h er th e y vreiss y threatened with their knives, demanding that ein eland be given up to them, and visions./ with tearful meade lil• life. The woman, however, was not to he 1 we understand that about this time several boo amps bsiseging to the place came up, whose fangs the fellows did sot ores to like the idea at encountering, and they accordingly beat a speedy retreat bark to their haat. We 'leanly trust that the perpetrators of so ruffianly en outrage will be discovered, and will meet the punishment which they so richly d . A singular case came recently before the Danger van magistrates, but the names of the parties were not published at the time : It appeutd that a man named James Byrne was charged by a Mr. Maurice Goff with baring asseislted him, aid threatened bar life with a pistil, which be held ea his bead until he compelled bi.n. to sign a paper at inemildfieg that he (Goff) was the lather of a child wit& Illynn's wife had a few months ssbe.quently to hei weitiep. It came on for trial at the Dungarvan quarter endeas on the 17th instant, when Mr Guff swore mist positively that the paper which he was compelled to sign was entirely false, and that be had any improper in timacy with Mrs. Byrne either before or after her marriage. Be Also swore that he could we into the barrel of the pistol when it was placed close to his head, and that be saw tie wedding in it,and also the cep on the nipple,and the wespon filly socked in the defendant's hand. Far the defence it wee urged that there was no proof that the pistol was really MOM* the wading not orestituting the loading with powder and ball, and cases were cited to show that in order to establish the assault it should be proved that the pistol was actually loaded. This point was put to the jury, who returned a verdict of acquiteaL Under the head of "Protestant Liberality" the Western Star says :—" We understand that the Earl of Clancarty has granted a site for a Roman Catholic presbytery hones at Ballioulos. MR. WOODIN'S POLYGRAPHIC ENTERTAIN LENT.

Ties mitertsiameat itself is exceedingly well known to the public, sad we bare aotbiog to add, in the way of description or eulogy, to what we have already mid respecting it. It is only simerary to say that he introduced into it hist night for the ant time, an attempt at a burlesque imitation of Mdlle. Rachel, which, though much applauded, was really the least successful part of the performance. Mr. Moodie came forward in costume, and recited, with exaggerated de clamation, a dozen lines of the famous tirade of Camilk, .. Rouse. l'uniqua objet demon resseatimeat," &0., but be only showed that the groat tregedies is not to be imitated, either seriously or la jest. The hest thing that con be said of t►is exhibitioe is, that it was very brief, sot vosapying above a couple of minutes. INTEREST ON EXCHEQUER BILLS.

TUB AMERICAN NEUTRALITY LAW& The trial of Charles Herta and Edward 11. Perkins, /barged with having enlisted men in the United States for the British envies in the Crimea, whin has for some days pest occupied the United States District Court sitting at Phi ledelphis, was loom/lit toe close (says the Washington Intel 'lenses . ) on Thur• day. Perkins was acquitted, and Herta w a s convicted on all the counts in the indictment. He has not bees sentenced. The penalty provided by law se a flee of not more that 1,000 dollars and imprisooment not exceedieg three years. The law is very explicit in for. biddies any petson within the territory or jurisdiction of the United States to "enlist or enter himself, or hire or •n another person to enlist or enter himself, to 101 beyond the limits or jurisdiction of the United States with intent to be enlisted es entered in the service of any foreign prince, state, colony, district, arc people as • sol dier," Ito. The testimony elicited on this trial seems to implicate in a violation of our neutrality laws several high faletioltertel of the British government. We a' pond ea entrant from the charge of Judge Kane to the jury, in which he akin to this disclosure in evartecoas but justly severe terms of animadversion : " I intended, gentlemen of the jury, when we separated, to avail myself of the leisure afforded me to put my charge in writing, but I have been prevented by controlling cacao stances from doing sari and my remarks to you, therefore, will be lea closely cousested perhape, though I vast they will not be es that wont lees intelligible and clear. The case has involved, is its progress, a train of facts of very etasiderable political interest—perhaps of more general interest In that aspect of it than in its bearing cm the ques tions which an to be decided by your verdict. There are very few among us—probably sone—who have sot felt aggrieved at the tome with which the press of foreign countries, and occasionally of foreign statesmen of the day, have caneneatied upon what they have been pleased to call the over alacrity of the American people to engage in military controversies in which they properly had no rightful part. Our people end our government have banes:mead of forgetting the obligations of neutrality, and of pshin ourselves forward into the conflicts of foreiirgn nations, a n d Dot los*, belligerents to aget out the own quarrels. For one, I confess that L felt surprised, as this ere eillnaeed, to learn that, during the very time that these eseeeedlas were fulminated against the Americas people by the peas of loglead, there was, on the pert of eminent British faaellowerke here, a series of arraspmests la pes. gram, carefully digested sad combining all sorts of pee*, under almost all aortae( lallaenate, to ends the laws of dee United States, by entail our country sought to enfoeete oestesljty—antergemests ntstuted, upon a careful inspirer Lion of the different sections of our statute!, ingeoLoagg violate their spirit and principle without isoiefeasteek . and thus enlist sad and away soldiers feels est -debase to fight the battles of those who were ineea - - ---c-oody admonishing as to fulfil 1 el sistraty.

Then in what terms of eulogy might the author give the perfect ideal of a bookseller—the btokseller after the author's own heart—illustrated by actual examples. How might be bold op to the admiration of the world that eager generosity which anticipates the wishes of the modest author, almost takes his manuscript from him by force, publishes it without examination, enriches the author by the sale, and deducts reluctantly andwith shame the very mo derate share of profits comitig to the bookseller. (Laughter.) On the otl.er hand, what an opportunity would the subject give him of putting the brand of contempt on that niggardly circumspection which, when a manuscript is offered, inquires too curiously sod narrowly whether, if published, it be likely to sell. (Laughter.) But fertile as the subject is in interesting matter, it baa been strangely neglected.

Bet to show that reciprocity in this justice to literature on both sides is rapidly becoming even more important to us then to England, let me mention one or two significant facts, sod I will detain you but • moment longer. In 1834, American noblicstions stood thus : 2.52 original and 198 reprints. Even that proportion would surprise same who imagined that we relied chiefly on England for intellectual novelties—as indeed we did within the present generation. In 18-53, the originals were 420, and the reprints 278. Os the other hand, the n o of Americus books reprinted in England in our whole history. up to 1842, was 382. not ineludieg rival editions. In 1864 these bad increased to 950, of which, including rival editions, no less than 119 were reprinted in 1863. and 185 in 1814—nearly as many is these two years as there had been in sixty. up to twelve years ego, Comment Is unneeessary. Souse of these reprints are, it ie tree, more or lees disguised and ideated of their paternity— msking it evident that our English cousins of this day not only do read American books, but read them sometimes without knowing it.

" October 23, 1856. "Dear Sir,—A vacancy having occurred in the repreten tattoo of the borough of Southwark from the much to be lamented death of the Right lion. Sir William ltioleswortle, Bart., I have to request the favour of your attending • meeting of the friends of George Soovell, Esq., at the Queen's Head Inn, Borough, this evening (Tuesday), at 6 for 7 o'clock precisely, to determin e u p on the steps necessary to secure his election to supply the vagency.—l am, dear sir, yours most faithfully, H STUMM" The meeting was attended by • very large number of electors, and the' large room of the Queen's Head was densely crowded. Mr. Jou., who was called to the chair, said he was de lighted to as so many electors present in support of • gen tlemen whom they proposed to elect. (Rear, hear.) Their friend Mr. Soovell had already been before them in the ca pacity of • caodidate, end his political views were cones gaudy well known. On one occasion, when Sir William Molesworth was a candidate, Mr. Soovell took the chair at the meetings of his committee, and more than once stated that he would never endanger the seat of that right hon. baronet by his candidature. Indeed, be said that he would never enter the field if he thought such • course would endanger the right hen. lemenet's return. (Oheers.) He promised that wh . circumstances called for • new election he would present himself to the constituency, and he was now before the electors in fulfilment of that promise. (Cheers.) He (the chairmen) would now call upon Mr. Hancock to propose the first resolution. Dr. WALKER was rather anxious to ask some questions before the meeting started. He held in his hand a Circular calling the meeting and nominating • men. lie was not aware that • tin:tiler course had ever been adopted in that borough, and he altogether objected to it. (Hear.) lie had • great respect for Mr. Stovall, but before he pledged himself to support him he would like to know what were his opinions, or at all events to see his address. The nomi nation of Mr. Scovell appeared to be the work of Mr. Stormy, who had adopted • course which he did not think would tend to secure his election. It the electors of Southwark wanted Mr. Scored, they should have Mr. So-hull at a pub lic melting, and there, in the face of the constituency, aseertsin whet were his sentiments. lie considered Mr. Stormy's circular to be a great liberty taken with electors of Southwark. (" Hear, bear," and great confusion.) /dr. Nswoute thought that Mr. Seovell's friends had takes a wrong step. A duty was about to devolve upon them to elect a gentleman to represent them in the great council of the nation, and they were acting in • hasty, if not a suicidal manner. (Cries of " No, no," and uproar.) Some time ago Mr. Surveil war a candidate for the representation of the borough, end the result then showed that his princi ples were not in accordance with thou of the great msjority of the electors. (A voice—" He was the winning man, no doubt.") It was clear that Mr. Scovell wu not the winning man on that occasion, for he lost the election. (Laughter and uproar) Much had lately been said about having the right man is the right ;lace. No doubt Sir William Moles worth was the right men in the right place, end all that be (Mr. Newman) wanted was that he should have a worthy southern. There were two or three candidates in the field, and he thought the electors should wait • little before they pledged themselves. Mr. liancout then came forward to move the first reset lotion. lie very much regretted that one better qualified than Monett had not been called upon to do honour to the memory of their lire representative, a man of whom he bad no hesitatien in saying Borland was proed. (Loud cheer ) Unfortunately for the electors of Southwark, that diet's guisbed statesman bad been removed from them by death in the midst of • career which promised to be of the highest woefulness to his country. Mr. Hancock concluded by moving the P Bowing resolution " That compelled by political considerations to make Im mediate arrangements to fill up the vacancy in the repro gestation of the borough of Southwaik consequent upon the much to be lamented decease of their late valued member, the Right Sir Wm. Moleswortb, Bart., this meeting feel themselves imperatively called upon to express their deep sorrow that he should have been thus suddenly re- I moved, just as be was entering upon a position for which he had so eminently qualified himself, and wherein he would have upheld the hoc our of his country, have to re cord their appreciation of his political intt grity and fearless independence as a member, and hie talent as a statesman, end to deplore the loss sustained in her Majesty's counsels end by the country as well, at this important jeutetare, by his untimely decease." Mr. CORWIN, in seconding the resolution, said all of them respected and admired the man who bad represented them so faithfully and so well. A great calamity had befallen, not only that borough, but also her Majesty's Councils and the nation at large, in the death of a mist honest anti • moat intellectual statesman—one of whom the country had indeed reason to be proud. (Hear, bear.) He would lug live in the memory of the electors of Southwark, aided as they had been by the wisdom and the integrity of inch • man. The Clumsier( put the resolution to the meeting, and it wee carried without a dissentient voice. Mr. P AAAAA moved th e nest resolution, which was as follows :—" That in the opinion of this meeting the cleans of George So-well, E'q ,to fill the vacancy in the representa tion of Southwark best d the support of the electors, as from his long and intimate acquaintance with the borough, and his well known liberal principles, his retora will meet advance the political and lead interests of the borough." Mr. Manna seconded the resolution. He had known Mr. Suva for a great number of years, and he was glad to see such a meeting in his favour, the number of gentlemen n. present being almost enough to carry the elutio (Laughter and chem.) Tee resolution was weed to, Mr. Newman's hand being the only one holdup against it. Mr. STORMY returned thanks en behalf of Mr. Seoul', and added that he was enabled to stare that that gentleman mould be in London telegraphic to-morrow. He had just receiv a communication f r om Mr. Scovell to the follo ed w foet :—" Paris, Tuesday. I shall certainly stand. My ea soon as possible. " Oa Ma emotion of Mr. G. D.

Notwith standing the disadvantages temperable from the opening of a line of railway, and that the supply of plant was for several months Inadequate, the company are in a position Oct only to pay the preference dividend at the rate of 6 per tent. per, annum, but lto to recommend dividend, at the rate of per cent., on a the original shares, both to be reckoned fromli the Ist of October, 1884, before which the line was not fairly in operation—a period of eleven months. The amount Si compensation paid to the parties injured by the accident which occurred at Rittybrserater within a few days of the opening of the line, forms a heavy °bergs on the revenue of lost year. It is equal to nearly 1 per ccat. on the oe is . nd shares—the dividend on which, in the absence of this unft r tunate OCCUMIne, would have mounted to upwards of 2 per cent. This charge might have been spread over several years, as is usual in similar cases, but the directors recom mend' it to be cleared off at ones. Since authority was given by the shareholders, on the 22nd of August lest, for the issue of the company's debentures, loans have been obtained to the smount of 98,2801, at 4} per cent. Nothing could better evince the esteem in which your undertaking is held by the public, more especially considering the present high rate of interest, and that the above sum has been taken up in the course of a few weeks. The whole of the rolling stork contracted for, with the ex ception of two tank engines ordered for the harbour branch, has now been delivered, sod is in eacellent working order. The tank engines are expected is December. The lire and works are in • in-st satisiactory state, and the directors pro pose that their maintenance be retained In the company's own hands in the wieseitime, and have eagsged an experi enced sow riot. intent with that view. The connexion with the Aberdeen' Railway sod Docks is now completed, and will exert a beneficial irfinnice on the goods traffic during the 'booing year. The directors contemplate the removal of the passenger station from Kittybrewater to Waterloo Quay at an early period, when a corresponding iecreate may be expected to arise on the passenger traffic. Sines the last anneal general meeting the directors concluded an agree ment with the promoters of the Inverness and Elgin Junc tion Railway Company, by which both companies became boned to withdraw their bills of last year, and to make application in the ensuing session of whiniest for powe he r to meet at the Spey, each com p an y paying one half of t expense of the crossing, ell differences in regard to which were to be referred to Mr- Brunel, C.B. The completion of an unbroken chain of railway communication to Invernen was thus secured en an amicable and satisfactory footing to all parties. Since that agreement was entered into, the pro moter, o the I aaaaa ess sod Elgin Junction Railway Com posy have some forward with • more comprehensive scheme, wider the name of the Invernen and Abeldeen Juncion Railway Company , and propose to join y ies at Keith, provided you will epee to hold stock to a certain amount in their new undertaking. This proposal your directors have 'eternised under contain conditions, the details of which are still under discussion, but the whole will be submitted for your consideration as awn as the negotiations between the boards have been brought to the point when they canone b so in an explicit manner . The plans of the ooatinuati of the line nom Handy to Keith are in the hands of the con• tractors, and the works will be proceeded with immediately. The Tenthly and Oidmeldriam Junction Railway will, It is 'spooled, be opened nest summer, and will be a feeder to your line. The Banff, blathaff, and Tartar Junction Rail way Company are to commence their works early nest year, and that line when completed will materially increase your traffic. Your directors propose to apply to whiniest, in the ensuing session, for powers to alter certaia roads at the Aberdeen station; also, to take additional ground to enable the Inv/tory and Oldmeldrum Junction Railway V) one be brought into your station at Invent/.
