ANOTHER CHILD ABDUCTION CASE IN /RZL4J(D. At the Court of Queen's Bench, Dublin, on Titsd•y7, another ekikl abduction c a se was Draught to light. An •pplication was made en the pert of Alicia Murphy the mother of Patrick and Ali c i a M ur phy, age d 'rely eight and eleveu years, for a writ of habeas corps • Henry Corr, of Suntoons.court, Donnybrook, to produce her two children. The affidavit of the mother stated that she resided in Dublin, and was the widow of • tailor ; that in October,lB4l7, she, at the instance and requeetof several tlemen—the then governors of the Josephian Female o= House, situate at Wellington.atreet, Dublin, and some of whom used to visit her husband previous to his dmith—put her daughter, then aged eight years and four mouths, into the school, to be maintained arid educated ; that up to Sep , tember, 1858, she was always allowed access to herdaughter, hut that since that time she bad made several applications to see her, and on each ousasion was informed by the matron (Rim Byrne) that the child was not there, and could not he Seep, as she was gape to the country with • monk. On the 29th July, 1858, the Rev. Danis Heffernan, Philiebormigh Chapel, went to deponent's house, and asked her to meet the schools at Denmark-street, to see if she would like to have her son placed there. In order to get the Rev. Mr. Heffernan out of the house she consented to visit the school with him, but on going away she left her son Patrick in' the house in the care of one Anne Taaße, who resided with her upon intimate terms, until she returned from said school. When she got to the school Heffernan left her, saying that be would return in a few minutes. Ms waited in the school room nearly half an hour, and finding that Heffernan did not return, she left the school to return home. On the way back she met the Rev. Mr. Heffernan, but did not speak to him. When she reached home bar son Patrick was absent. On making inquiry from Anne Taaffe, in the presence of one Rose Short and Catherise Connolly, where the child was, Anne Taal% replied " that the right owner of the child had it." On the evening of the 29th July, 1858, deponent repaired to Phibaborough Chapel, where the Rev. Mr. Heffernan resided, but wee told by the porter at the chapel-house that he was not at home. Mier making several endeavors to thad out where the child was placed, she ascertained in November last that Memy Corr, of Hinunons-court. Donnybrook, had taken upon himself the can and guardianship of the two children, alleging that he did so under a will stated to be made by deponent's husband, Mrs. Murphy IMMO that she has never seen such will ; that Henry Corr has offered to let depoont see her children provided that she agreed to sign a paper under. taking not to interfere with their education, which she re. fused to do; that she was prevented from making an earlier IP="7to the court in consequence of a difficulty of :irefeesionul assistance, .ind from the fact that Leta November last she did nut asoermin with certainty who bed the custody of her children.

A meeting of the subscribers to the Garibaldi Pled, and ether (rinds of the cause of Italian freedom, wan held at Glasgow on Tuesday, to consider the propriety at immediately forwarding the subscriptions to General Garibaldi ; Mr. Hulas TrexEsi in the chair. Mr. ROBERT M'Tsait grated that the meeting had been willed on account of the peculiar urgency of affairs in Sicily. As insurrection had taken place there, but it had as yetbeen usieuccessful in couseinenee of the want of a leader. How- IMO, a telegram hail reached Glasgow the previous driy, an thawing that :aritahli and his staff had gone to Sicily, and is all likelihood they would heard him next as gatheringthe (Sicilians and others around him there. They would then have a new phase of that Insurrection, and one more likely to be successful. Mr. M'Adain, Mr. Landon, and himself had called on Mr. Buchanan, M.P., yesterday, sad had hail a conversation with him on the subject, and be seemed to think with the other gentlemen that immediate steps should be taken to assist Ganhabli at the present moment, god that any funds over which they had control should be thimornitted to him immediately. It was for the vaestas to come to a reeplution, saying whether it was a fair mode of advancing the money raised by send ing it to Garibaldi Just now. It was • patriotic cause he was allying himself with at present, and there messed to he no other man in the south of Italy capable of taking the lend with anything like a chance of sower, and there was se man nien likely to draw around him the patriotic por- Mew of the people. The Insurrection had up to this time hese thesesseeful, because the people had not had the neeelle of every* it oat. ii,. Jothr WADAN stated that Garibaldi had written to hV soliciting the ninny, and he hail replied that he would tell the subscribers together that their sanction might be °blamed. There was so doubt that Ganbeldi mend thi, national party understood owe another, and that there would he harmonious actioa against the tyrants of the mouth of Italy. He knew that Garibaldi and the leaders of the na tional party were in constant communieation,and he thought that Garibaldi had gone from Genoa to Sicily, if not with the express sanction of the King of Sardinia, at all events with his coenivance. Itemlunette el • re of tandiminithal confidence in the tiounere, p4iotiem, sail discretion of General Garibaldi, and authorinag seeps to be taken for transmitting the euli scriptMns to kiln without delay, were then %mammon:4y agreed to. An addrees was Ago adopted to the gallant general. LorDow CRT Marawr. —This mornin g the annual meeting of the members and friends o f thi s soc i e t y . 4 . held at Exeter Hall, Mr. J. P. Plumptre in the chair. In opening the proceedings the chairman dwelt at some length upon the wait amount of immorality and irreligion • which prevailed in the densely populated portions of the metrop4is, and which he believed nn igency at present in existence could overtake. The report which wee read consisted chiefly of extracts from the reports and letters of missionaries who are engaged under the auspices of the society, their successes being of a v.oried character. They have to contend against inteniperince and infidelity in every form, but they are unanimous m declaring drunken. nese to be the principal hindrance to their work. The Bishop of Ripen, the Rev. Canon Miller, and other gentle men, supported the resolution, affirming the peat usefulness tile society and recommending it to more extended support. Tut CRicurr MO/111M —The annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Crrilit Mohilier Company wee held yesterday (Monday) at 4 o'clock, 'Dien were but few persono present--ecareety forty shareholders, end, per haps, one-tenth of the shares nereasary to constitute a general meeting. On the motion of M. Pereira bunnies' woe proreedel with. It appears from the statement made to the meeting that the balance of 9,000,0001. to the credit of the company at the close of the year 1811$ is by the fall in the value of public securities reduced to 1,500,000 fr., out of which a dividend is to be declared, leaving only 34,01:10fr. to the credit of the corn pony. IL Pereire comforted the shareholders by asionring them that a magnificent era of peace and industry is about to open to France thr.egh the sagacious policy of the Emperor. After the report was read a shareholder rose to ask a few questions ae to the elate of the pwlefew;lle, the funds, end, generally speaking, the actual position of the company, and the molars of the ea:with:l hem by it. The question was not very unreanottable, but it seemed to hurt the ow ceptihibt of some persona present, and the imprudent eh , 1 boar, was censured by a murmur of disap probation. One gentleman declared that, if the meeting shared the feeling of mistrust implied in the question, the board of directors would instantly resign. The over. curious ohereholder wee thus silenced, to the considerable amusement of most of those prt.sent. Two other share- Isoklers followed, but they were met by the onler of the day, which was carried. The ibrit.tors whose term of semi*e hail expire/ were then re•eleeted unanimously, just as if the question were simply the annotation of Savoy ..r of some other neighbouring province to France.—Paris Corre■podent of the OADINAIT SHAMS AND STOCKS.

A LORD-LINUTINANI AT THE Tutor:v.—A very appropriate instance of the application and assiduity . of the Earl llume, lord-lieutenant of the county, in carrying out all that comes under his official observation, was strikingly illustrated on Wednesday afternoon last, when the noble lord, having presided over a meeting for the form ation of a , Book Hawking Association, held at the Literary and Philosophical Institution, accompanied by several officers of the mood rifle volunteer corps, paid a visit to the practice ground at Southern. His lordship, during his stay on the ground, tried his aim at the target, and " proved himself so good a marksman as, three or four times in succession, to hit the bull's-eye," an example to all volunteers who are aspiring to distinction with the rifle. Cheltenham Examiner. _ _ A WKDDLNO MISHAP.—A few days ago a loving young couple went, accompanied by friends, to a church not far from this city to enter into the bonds of holy ma trimony. The wedding service bad commenced, and had progressed to the point where the ring is produced, when a singular hitch took place. No ring was forthcoming. Not that thebrilegroola bad, In the bustle and nervousness of preparation for the Important ceremony, forgotten to put the ring into his pocket on leaving home, but be was igno rant that the little golden hoop was required in the mar riage ceremony. Here was a ditliculty ! The good-natured clerk said he would try to find one, which he would lend for the ceremony, but the officiating minister objected, and refused to go further in forging bonds where so im rtent an element in the manufactur4was wanting. In this difficulty the man, who was thus placed in a neutral posi tion between the single and married state, was about to run in despair to this city to purchase a ring, when a second couple, who had also come to the church with the like ob ject of matrimony, touched with a fellow feeling, and per hape by the tears of the disappointed bride, leut him their vehicle for the journey. He just contrived to get hack with the ring in time for the marriage to be concluded within the lawful hours, the scrupulous minister having kindly awaited his return ; and the pair then went away in high spirits, all the happier for their previous disappointment. Worerster Chronicle. THE ESCAPE FROM NEWCASTLE GAOL—Down to Tuesday evening the Newcastle police had not got on to the track of Walter Scott Douglas, the Jack Sheppard of the north, who escaped from the gaol of that town a second time on Sunday morning. There is no doubt but that he has made of to the wilds of Northumberiand—a direction he was seen to take on leaving Newcastle. The magistrates have held an investigation into the circumstances of the escape, and the under governor, Mr. Wood, and the warder who had charge of Douglas have been suspended. RISE IN THE PRICE OF HORSE-HEIP.—A meeting of hotel and innkeepers of the parishes of Radcliff, Temple, and St. Thomas was held at the Queen's Head Inn, Red cliff-street, Bristol, last week, to take into consideration the present very great advance in the price of hay and straw, which, it was stated, caused the charges now made for the standing of horses at the various stable-yards to result in a considerable loss to the retailers. A resolution was accordingly ag'r'eed to fixing the charge for standing and hay at 911. instead of 6d. per day for each horse, so long as the present high prices continue, a reduction to be made in proportion with the fall of the markets ; and 21. per head to be the charge for night houses. AN EIGHT-WHEELED ENGINE. —Our readers will remember that we called their attention a short time ago to a new kind of engine about to be made on the South Durham and Lancashire Railway. An engine of a similar build, via., with eight wheels (so as to take the curves easily), has recently . been constricted by Messrs. Kitson and Co., of Leeds. It is intended to be used on one of the South American railways, and was tried the other day for the first time. The trial trip was from Leeds to Harro gate and back. She has around the frame a beautiful hand railing, mounted with braes, so that the driver can walk round the foot plate with perfect safety. In the front there will be fixed a "cowmteher." The trial of the engine was perfectly satidectory.—Newcastle Chronicle. THE CITY UNION FRAVDB AND THE POOR-LAW BOARD.—At the ordinary wetkly meeting of the Board of Guardiansof the Cityof London Union, on Tee/slay last, Mr. Alderman Abbiss, the chairman of the board, presiding, Mr. Bowling, the clerk to the guardians, read a report from the law committee in reference to the Poor-law Board's Pay ment of Debts Bill, and the amounts due to the tradesmen and treasurer by reason of the late frauds on the union by Paul and Manor.

Russian HoerrraLrff.—We read in a letter from Florence:—" A nobleman. Cavalier Luigi Villamiss, befriended by Mr. Goodwin, the British Consul (a func tionary highly respected and cherished at Palermo,) applied for refuge to one of the English ships anchored in the har bour. The captain repulsed him, alleging his instructions, which only allowed him to extend his protection to British subjects. The unhappy Valarosa was more fortunate in his appeal to the humanity of a Russian captain, who took him on board, and when the police called for their prisoner, laconically pointed to the colours at his yardarm, and said that • the fugitive was already in Russia.'
