Mr. Cliff", of W who oesapiod the chair, considered that tho speeds from ato throne had pawed the firmer' in auto awkward predicament, and it became them most striandy to Meet and to dime meth& moo sates. The great remedy, be said, fee &dr grievances, was financial reiona and equality of tenstims. Mr. Hanikton mid ths 'radian of proesition appeared to him to Is ell named up is sae weed--tko wird "rest" A te-impotition of taxation upon this fan aeassearies of life would never take liece.

At the latest moment for sending off a despatch, the Belfast papers have arrived with painful news of entraps in the County Down. I append extracts from tee journals, which afford particulars of these affairs : Otrear.oza ow rat Cooreee Down.--On Thursday evening, the 14.11 tau, a number of armed mea surrounded the house of Mr. Aokstell, near %dynode's*, Mr. Ken's agent, and fired five or six shots through that gentleman's bedroom window, fortunately without wonaffing or injuring any person in the house. They then marched off, sad es. cirri antler cover of the aarkness. We understand, also, that Herod landlords and agents in the aunty have, during this week, been served with threatening nodose, and that an ineendiary fire took place near Duadonald, and posed it b sup another occurred in the neighbourhood of Dumbe d's. Oa the whole, the 'musty sow presents an alarming apwraace, and outrages have brooms the order of the day. =Belfast Vindicator. Trumennuto NOTIOILWO regret to state that, in addition to the grime of ims, which has lately auallested itself in this WIWI* pomade meaty, we have to add that of serving thrulsaing modem. A cam of this kind has been reported tar; sad the following are the particular/An reference to it :—Some dams einem, an old man, named George Douglas, who resided in the town land of Ballylisbreden, pariah of Dandonald, had two saes of land, the trout-right, or "god-will," of which he wished to sell. One or two 'suttee entered into treaty with him for the purchase of it; but, evoistaally, he-sold it to one James Craig, who lives in the towniand shoe s - name d, w h o gave Douglas 61. for his "good-will "of the land; at the same time clearing off the arrears of rent, and conditioning to support the old man for the remainder of hie HAL Craig got possession of the two on. on the 26th December lest, and shortly after a threatening notice, of which the following is a cony, was left at hie door:—" For James Crsig—Dear Sir: I would wish to inform you, that if you da not throw that small Mt of land up /gain, the first plough you putts it, you may abide the eonsequessees, for if it was at four years, we will be revenged for your doing so. Mr. W.cdside's may be • pattern for you. ' Your coffin.' " (A sofa here.) Nothing followed from this threat, until last Sunday morning, when an outhouse containing farm ion plumate, and convenient to Craig's dwelling-house, was dis covered by the servant-boy, to be on fire, between three and four o'clock in the morniag. He raised an alarm immedi ately, but—and we repot to be obliged to state It, for it is the worst feature in the case—not one of his neighbours cams Inward to assist him I. extinguishing the flames. The polies stationed at Diuscroadd we re sent for; ana, in a very short time, constable Hicks and the party under his com mand arrived on the spot ; bat, although they used every exertion, the outhouse and the implements it contained were all consumed. They succeeded, however, in preventing the flames spreading, es it was at one time feared they would do, to the dwelling-Maw. Oa Monday morning, Craig swore informations on the matter, before A. A. Gordon, Esq., J.P., of Dundonald, who issued a warrant for the apprehension of two men, named Hugh and Thomas Cony, farmers, who were ar rested on suspicion of being the guilty parties. They lodged bail for their appearance this day at the Haywood Petty &Woos. Brow their arrest a second threatening notice has been recesved by Craig, through the Post-office. It bears the Belfast, Neertownards, and Dandould post marks; and the following is a copy of it:—"Sr,—We give ourselves the trouble of writing you these few lines to warn yea to give up that smell form of - land, or, if you do not, we will burn you to hell. Do not think we ere jesting ; for, as tree as God is in heaven, we will make an example of you. [Representation of a coffin here.] Yon are bisimiog men that knows nothing of our affairs. You may let your bro ther, Francis Watson, know that he will soon be either in h or hell. He may just u wed think to escape Christ's judgement day as to taupe from us. He need not look for any mercy to be giving to him. No more at present. Yours, truly, the Terryalts." [Mother coffin here.] Several circumstances, to connexion with this unfortunate affair, in addition to those we have detailed, have come to our knowledge ; but, in justice to the tutu who have been arrested on suspicion, we fathom mentioning them.— Northern lVhig. The Rev. Mr. O'Connor, parish priest of Miltown, in the county of Kerry, is making great exertions to promote the cultivation of flax in that county, the soil of which he deems particularly well adapted for that produce. Two documents, deemed to be of great importance on the question of tenant right and tenant compen sation, have just made their appearance in the Irish papers —one, ""A plea far tenant-right, addressed to the occupying tenants of Ulster," by Mr. Sharman Crawford; and the other, a letter addressed to Mr. Crawford himself on the same absorbing subject, by Mr. Skilling, Professor of Agriculture in the Queen's College, Galway. It is remarkable that opinion in favour of simple tenant-right is rapidly gaining ground, and that many persons who advocated com pensation for improvements alone, now feel con strained to go a good deal farther. How far the im perial parliament may carry this important question next week, is now the subject of deepest anxiety here. The Freeman's Journal states that the conservatives of Sligo are not to have a walk-over at the expected election there. A gentleman of liberal principles, says the Freeman, will address the electors the moment the vacancy is actually made. A correspondent of the limerick .Reporter, writing from Birr, Feb. 12, gives the following particulars of some recent extermination in the King's County : Oa the 11th of lut mouth (January), Mr. Cuff, sub sheriff for the King's County, proceeded to the lands of Cul lawn, Ballinree, and Killyon (three townlands on Mr. Robert , Cassidy's estate), being accompanied by a large constabulary 10700 under Sab-Inspeotor Coe, of the Frankfurd district, and being met there by Mr. Cassidy and a large gang of bailiffs, proceeded to evict. In less than six hours 125 human beings were driven from the homes where they and their &then dwelt for ages put. Of there 79 were, I understand, ejected out for good and all, the remainder being let in se caretakers at oue pees per week. Amongst the 79 wen a family of the name of Williams. three females and one male, who was lying in a bed of fever. Such was the continuum tion fat for poor Williams, that all the bystanders wept bitterly. Mr. Coe (the police officer—a humane man) was moved to pity, he extended the hand of charity to the poor sufferers. A house fell in Newry yesterday, killing three of the inmates. The following account of an incident in an exter mination scene is given by a correspondent of the Limerick Reporter. BoanisoLnicisc, FRB. 14, 1860.—Tunday, two special bailiffs, under the warrant of the sub-sheriff, with four °Men, entered the lands of Rathlcasty, the property of Mr. Thomas Fogarty Cahill, to eject and take possession of the houses and six acres of land, held by the Widow Connors and three children. The poor widow seeing the messenger, if woe enter her once happy home, gave all sorts of resist ance in the shape of throwing fire, boiling water, &c., on them ; and, after a desperate 'tractile, she received • were wound in the head, which, I am in - formed, laid her senseless on the ground, but she was ultimately evicted, and is now under the care of Doctor W. Familia. PARLIAMENTARY AND FINANCIAL REFORM. MEETING AT PLYMOUTH. --- - On nureflay evening one of the moat numerously attended meetings, held is the Plymouth guildhall, for many yeses, &assembled for the purpose of listening to an address en financial reform by the Ray. T. Spencer. The chair was anaeunceal to be taken at kaltpult seven o'clock, and by that time every part of the hall was completely packed, mad a large number who then and sub., quietly arrived, were ob li ged to crush into the avenues adjoining the ball, or go away without as attempt to bear the bears. Joenen Remoter SOVAIL Esq. (of the tine of Weal iamb*, Square, Stephen., and Prance, solicitors), presided. The Rev. Gentleman at the commencement stated that it wee evident there was something wrong about the social and political ceedition of the counuy. This appeared not only l is the condition of a large number of the population, who, although willing to week, could not get a fair remuneration ON their labour, and in the eiXauestastee that attempts were constantly being made with the view of bettering, of mending this state of things. This mending system, although perhaps better than letting the matter alone alto- gether, could not result In muck good, and besides, by and by the thing would become a, had with repeated patching, as to bear no further tinkering. It was natural that man should labour, bat be ought not to be deprived of hops to sustain him in his labour, as was now the ease. Without hope it was impossible that people should be either cos bated or happy . . As Ills could net be under the present system, it was tight to seek to adopt another ; it woeld be end to say let it alone, sad fo olish to always go on tinkering and mending. The people of this country were the one grand council of the nation. The parliament and government were °laughs executive for the carrying out the will of the people. Whatever the people will to be done is sate to be done, if they be only earnest and united in the expression of their wit. This had bees exemplified in the passing of the Reform Bill, and still more recently in the adoption of free trade. It was only for the people to get the tide of public opinion sufficiently high, end they can float say reform-they can effect any change. It is very little difference who is the minister or what the party in power to peas any measure ; all that is wanted is a ref lciently strong expression of public opiates; for with that, if the ircvernment approves of the mamare, he adopts It, and if he does sot, it is forced upon his. He did not think that more thin a very small portion of the poor and miserable were made sec by their own misconduct. He did not think that auk of the taxes went to the Sovereign-to the cisme, whom he much ad mired, believing her best sympathies lobe witntle people in their movements for fres trade, and now for financial re form. Formerly the king had his own estate., was not paid anything from the taxes, but a bargain was made by which the country were to take the estates sad give the kin! a million a year. These estates had been miserably mismanaged, end the bargain had consequently been anything but a profitable one for the people; but this was not the fault of the Queen; than whom many of the nobility had larger incomes, grander palaces, and more princely furniture. The ministers of state h a d very hard work, but still he thought 5,6001. a year was a large sum to pay them, especially when the President of the - United States bed no more, and the secretaries of the Unitea States only 1,0001. There were others, however, mare extrava gantly paid then the ministers-the lord chancellor had 10,00 W. whilst in office, and a retiring pension el 1.0001. a Derr. We had by this means to pay several lord chancel lors at one and the same tim'. There were even more objection.ble things . than these amongst them, the moat obje.'tionable is that the poorer a man is the more he pays in proportion to his income. In his opinion, the passing of the Reform Bill and the adoption of free trade had saved this country from revolu tions such as had teen experienced by continental nations. The House of Commons was theoretiailly the people's house, but it had become practically a second Home of Lords. There were many lords, and sans of lords, members, end they were interested in keeping up the present state of things, because either themselves or families were sharers in the spoil. The CHAIRMAN said he was sure the meeting must have been delighted with the address, which had been cer tainly one of the ablest to which he had ever had the plea sure of listening. Mr. J. PETRIE said he would like to hear the opinion of the R v. T. Spencer on electoral districts. Mr. SPENCER was glad the gentleman had put the question, as he had unintentionally omitted to allude to the subject of electoral districts. Seeing that the voice of some 20,000 persons oa the present system was only equal in power to that of a few hundreds in some of the small boroughs, Sir Joshua Wattle's, was in favour of the arrangement of the voters into district', for the purpose of a fair equalisation of the representation, and he most decidedly approved of the idea. It was but fair and reasonable. No one appearing disposed to make any objection, Mr. THOMAS NICHOLSON, agent for the Cork steam packets, spoke at s m. lergth in favour of the views ad vanced by Mr. Spencer, and in encouragement of the people toga on tamest, discuss, and agitate, until their wish., should be attended to. The vote was adopted by acclamation. On the motion of r. 6rgacau , seconded by B. S. CODD, E.q , thanks were given to the chairman, and Mr. Square in acknowledging It, said it bad given him very great pleasure to preside at the meeting, as ft always did to do anything calculated to improve the condition of the people. The meeting time terminated. MEETING AT LOWESTOFT. LOWESTOFT, FEB. 16.—One of the most unani moss and enthusiastic public meetings which is ream bend to have been ever held in this town took place last 'evening in the Theatre, for the purpose of receiving a depu tation from the Norwich Reform Committee and from the council of the National Reform Association. Considerable excitement prevailed in the place from what was generally considered the unjustifiable refusal of the Town Sall by the local anthorities, " that, under their unction at least, the peace of the town should not be disturbed ;" the consequence of these measures was an increased' petite with the reform party, end the theatre was accordingly filled to access, a large number of persons returning from the absolute impos sibility of effecting an entrance to the building. The depu tation, J. S. Tillett, Esq., and Thos. hl Eaten, Esq., were received on their appearance with several rounds of applause. 0. S. Gomm°, Km., was unanimously voted to the chair, and, after a few introductory remarks, he called upon the R.:v. H. Moor to move the tint resolution, which was as follows :_ " That the punt exceslva taxation of the country para lyses eosenterce, presses agriealture, and Impoveri s hes the lalnarina clause." _ Mr. DALTON briefly seconded the resolution. Mr. Titurrr supported it in an admirable speech. The Be,. B. DAVIT then moved : "That it is the deliberate opinb.n of this meeting that the Home of Commons, as at prevent convtituted, does not full and fairly rerremet the wants and wishes of the British people, and that a reform in that house, in amordancit with the principles of the National Parliamentary and Ensncial Reform Association, has become absolutely neormary for the good government of the country ; a thorough revision of the preemt unjust system of taxation ; end a more rigid economy is the expenditure of the public money." The motion have been second e d by Mr. Boman, and eloquently supported by Mr. WENTEEK. Mr. J*cevo,e, of Yarmouth, prop, d , and Mr. BAR.- NAND seconded a motion . " That a local essociation !miaow FINE ARTS. ARTI:NION ENGRANINCI-SABRINA. This is one of Mr. Frost's most pleasing works, and the characteristio features of his brush and pencil have been very felicitously seized by Mr. Lightfoot's facile graver. The sensation of rapid flight is ably rendered, as the hic forms of the water nymphs waft the form of Sabrina through the limpid water. There is a shadowy dreaminess in the slant of the figures and the depth of their chiaro scuro, which is highly poetic. Tne nymphs display their "pearled wrists" rather too labonously; this is, however, true to well-shaped natures, to which class these undoubtedly belong. The airy draperies, the Hower-coroneted heads of brace and blonde, have ' all the smile and sentiment of this master in nymphery. PUBLIC CONVEYANCES OF THE METROPOLIS: A densely-crowned meeting of the owners and drivers of cabs and hackney carriages, likewise the " watermen" of the metropolitan ranks, took place on Friday night at the Tem persan Hall, in the Broadway, Westminster, for the pur pose, among others, of confleming• series of rules and rein latices agreed to at a former meet ing, as the foundation of a Protective Arsoeiatioa, in consequence of the information and prosecutioas levied en masse against both drivers and masters ; and also to hear the report of the deputation eppointed to wait on the Commissioners of Police. Mr. Riscombe Wollen, of Backlenbury attended u the solicitor tc the emendation, and it appeared that that gentleman, ac companied by a deputation of master), consisting of Messrs. Emmett, Hider, Jenks, Smith, and Beadle, had waited on the authorities at Bcoriand-yard, and represented the griev anus they !shelved under, and the persecution they were enduring in consequence of the " ranks" of Loodoe not be ing properly defiled. The Marylebone vestry, under their local act, the 35th of Geo. 111., cap. 73, had positively inter dined the standing of hackney carriages or cabs on what bad always bets considered a " rant " in Oxford-street, namely, between Market-street and Poland-street. One cab driver had beta recently fined by Mr. Bingham, at Marlborough street, =die number of other cases were pending his decision. At the press nt time there were nearly 3,000 cabs working In the me-trip-dig, and, en an average, there were not more than 1,000 engaged at any one given time, which would leave 2 000 that should be standing on the " ranks "—the regular reoogni-ed " rusks "—which untamed room for only 1,200, leaving 800 totally unprovided with a standing. The deputation urged the increased and increasing size of London, and the necessity of new " ranks," and further ex pressed a hope that the luiriatun would shortly place the regulation of public conveyances, the appointment of "ranks" or stands, Ac., under the entice control of the Metropolitan Commissioners of Police, repealing, of course, all local acts relating to the tame. The commissioners replied, that they would give the subject their serious consideration : they had already taken the opinion of the law officers of the crown, relative to their pollen, under the 6th and 7th Victoria, for the neutering hackney carriages; but the legal authorities did not th ink that it repealed the local ants ;at least their construction of the statute was equivocaL Sir G. Grey in tended last session to introduce a bill oath* subject of public conveyances; end if the right hen. baronet still entertained that idea, the deputation, through their solicitor, would be informed of it. In the awes of the meeting, it was stated that there was no lees than 800 badges " working foul," at the present time, in London, by the lowest and moat de graded chanters, the detection sad punishment of whom was one of the principal objects of the proposed association. COLLISION ON THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.— Early on Thursday morning a collision took place on the Ca ledonian Railway, by which one passenger was very ly injured, and others more or lees hurt. Tee down mail train which leaves the Citadel station shortly after 9 o'clock p.m., started at the usual time on Wednesday evening. Oa reach • ing the Abingdon station the train overshot the mark and dashed into a goods train that happened to he standing on the north side of the station, engine foremost, on the same lino of rails. The consequence was a tremendous crash, the complete destruction of a second elate carriage in the mail train, serious injury to the amines of both train,, and an entire disruption of the rails in the inns , dist, vicinity. But what was worse, altar the consternation and confusion of the moment were over, it was found that several of the passengers had narrowly *seeped with their lives, and it was almost a miracle that none were killed on the 'pit. Mr. Sauby, a ammonia travel. r, representing the firm of Naha and Co., loather merchants, London, was discovered wedged in between a portion of a broken carriage and the horse-box next to the engine. He was extricat-d from his painful position es quickly as possible, when it was found that his thigh was broken, and that he was otherwise hurt about the face and back. Mr. Shillitieforth, railway post office clerk, was ir verely brui ed about the face, and the engine -driver else suet Sincd such injuries as to incseltate him from following his employment at present. T i ke cause of the collision appears to have been as follows The 3.6 p.m. up goods train, an unusually long one, propelled by two eaglets, arrived at the Abingdon station a little attar its time. The up mail trek from Edinburgh and Oisegow was then 'vilely due, And the goods train wu shunted on to the down line to let the other pus. Meantime the down mail train came up, and in consequence of the slippery state of the rails the engine-driver w. 41 unable to slacken his speed so readily as he expected, and the consequence was that the mail ran int., the goods train which was on the same line. The check was tremendous. Both trains were thrown off the line, and the nil, destroyed as already stated. Amend clan carriage, which sore between the heavy Post-office van and a bone-box, was literally dashed to peon. A hist 7 and blisoing snow storm prevailed at the time of the accident, and tr.' tells were in a very slippery condition. By t , rive o'clock the same morning the line was cleared and properly repaired, and the regular traill3 proceeded as Devottronv, FRB. 17th.—The HUMOR, Commander Garden Ibibourne, and the Dart brigantine, Commander ll'Cluue, arrived here on Wednesday night from Ports mouth, both b iulid for the Cape of Good Hops.

Commodore Lord John Hay arrived here on Friday evening, and em Saturday =pram to went into the yard at ten o'clock, and was engaged newly the whcese day with Rear Adm. Sir John Louis in the office and about the yard. The flag of Sir John Louis was this evening. The brad pennon of lord John Hey will be hoisted on board the Agincourt, and saluted by the guns of the Impregnable.

Biota MI VICE CRANCHLOIL OF ENGLAND. NIIHAU v. &MAIM-DEMI:ILIUM Tu ♦ lIILL FILID AGAINST TIN LONDON AND WIIIITNINSTER BANK. The question In this case arose out of certain trinoactione between the London and Westminster Bank awl the New caele Joint-Stock Bank. It appeared that the London and Weerninster Bank had acted as the London bankers for the Newcastle Bank, who had become indebted to the London Bank in the sum of 20,0001.—that in December, 1845, en agreement was entered into by peons acting for the two banks, by which it was arranged that the sum the n d ue should be carried to a separate sect unt. and that various promissory note, amounting to the value of 41,0001., g i ven by the shareholders in the Newcastle bank, sboull be lodged with the London bank as a collateral security for the sum which was then or might thereafter becom edue to the London bank. It was also agreed that the Linden bank should not swept aoy drafts of the Newcastle hank, except upon a dep.sit of cash on acceptances of London banker,. It further appeared that in November, 1846, the I.OlldOQ b..nk commenced an action against the plaintiff, who was on• of ten shareholders who had deposited a note of hand foe 2,0001., and recovered judgment for principal and int et e s t. The plaintiff paid 1,0001. on accaunt, and the London bank also brought actions against the Newcastle bank sod the other shareholders who had deposited promissory notes and reco‘ered judgments against them to the am oun t of 130,7011., after which the London bank ao cepted a release of the clu,ms on their behalf, but had lately proceeded to revive the judgment obtained by them against the plaintiff. The bill was bled against the London bank, to restrain them from these proceed:up., on tag ground that they had advanced money without fur ther security, contrary to the terms of the agreement of 1845, whereby the debt had been increased. A demurrer to this bill now came on for argument, and it was contended that the promissory notes were given as security for thy sums which might thereafter be advanced, and that the increased debt had been allowed for the benefit of the Newcastle bank. The' ice. Chancellor said, as he understood the case, it canto to this—that, by the agreement of December, ISi5, the promissory notes were given for the purpose of be coming a security to the London and Westminster Huh, and oLe express stipulation was that the sum of 30,0P0/ , the sum then due, should be transferred to a separate account, and the promissory notes were to be given as a coelab red se-. curity for that sam, and the same notes were also to be held as security for any other sums which rcfait become due to the London and Westminster Rank. That was a part of the transaction which could not be got rid of. The story amounted to this—that after the above transaction there was a settlement to a certain extent of the ac counts between the two banks, and on the settlement there was ex fepted the sum of 1;2001. which represented the amount unpaid upon the plaintiff's note for 2.0001. and interest. It app•ared to his Honour there was nothing on the face of the bill stated why the defendants, the L-ndoa and Westminster Hank, ea holders of Wet note, should not, if they could, recover at law against the ',tainted. The de murrer must therefore be allowed. 11 COURT OF EXCHEQUER—SATURDAY. Nnn Patty.—Bitrosi Si. F. POLLOCK, c. 8., AND C MIDDLIMIt‘ SPICLAL doer. O'Coretton, M.V., v. BECADSHAW.—ALLICiID LariaL.-e- Till LAND Courasy. This cause was brought to a conclus.on on Saturday, after occupying three entire days. The plaintiff baying exa mined witnesses in reply to the evidence adductd in support of • he plea or justification, Mr. Roebuck, U.C., on behalf of the defendant, addressed tke jury upon that evidence. Ile contended that the plea was c.inet merely made out. It not only appeared that the land scheme was illegal, but that the bank" was frauds h nt. Both schemes emanated from it ftw persons, who called themselves " the dekgates of the worklng chum." Now, those individuals were just as much retitled to the de acription esey had assumed, as the three tailors of Tooley- street —daughter)—who, in bye.gone days, represented themselves as " th.. people of England." (Laughtsr.) With ri spot to Mr. O'Connor himself, he (Mr. Roebuck) charged him with everything alleged in the libel complained of, and the justi ficauen which had been pleaded. Thu evidence tally iota bished she truth of every ono of the statements mode by the d fondant against Mr. O'Connor. Every charge was proved as clear as the sun at noondlay, in its irmost bril liancy on the brightest summer's day. No less thin 112.000!. had been collected by this company out of the pockets a the poor wcrking claws by mull weekly contrihrions. In some instances, they did not exceed 3d. a ws.k, au,: it, htrefore, was the more incumbent on those to wh.nn thme sums were entrusted to hold the trust sacred, and protect it from imposture and imposition et every sort. The fact was distinctly proved that every penny of that lar,.e sum of money was paid to Mr. O'Connor. account in the several bnLks in which it had been lodged bj his orders from time to lust. It'd name was not inintien.3l as treasurer in any of the rules, although he always acted in that capacity. Its ono but Mr. O'Connor dealt with the money, which wen also a violation of the rules. stating that the subseriptiJna should be invested in the public fund.; that the treasurers should be opp.dated by the board of directors, and that no money should be drawn from the bank without the authority of the directors. Ti. financial secret a ry s tated that no suok thing ever took place. Accounts were to be kept ; no men tioa was made in the rules of the Norther it N , ar, but there stone was any trace to be found of the aubseriptioas. All the mousy was paid bj the tikanci..l steietary to dlr. AL'Clo wk. CA V• • ' • GC . . 1 • • 1 1: • • , .•t .•. ti
