The number of prisoners at present is the gaol for trial is 130, and in all probability the session will not last more than I re days. The Recorder, in &limb( a brief charge to the grand jury, observed that he was happy to bi able to caogratulate them upon the lightness of the extender, and also upon the fact that it did not contain a single charge of murder or man slaughter, or any other iavolviog the destruction of human life, and that there was only one charged cutting and wooed leg ; end be said he trusted these facts might be taken as 'lmmix, an improvement in the morals ant habits of that elms of the people from whence the great majority of Wes crimieele were derived. The Recorder then adverted to the ease of the prisoners charged with the extensive plate robbery in the &rand, and he observed that it appeared by the depositioas that the charge rested in a great measure spa the evidence of an accomplice. A prboner, he said, might legally be convicted upon the sole evidence of an accost. plies, as well as upon:that of any other per* n, but the practice of the judge had invariably been to direct juries not to convict upon such testimony noise it was corroborated in seas cambial particular by independent testimony. The grand jibe, therefore, in this case would me whether suck coufirmati et were given by the other wittiest's, and ie that case alms it would be their duty to find a true bill against the parties.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. At the annual meeting of the above society, held on Saturday, and of which • summary appsarea in Ifs Express of the same day, the tollowiag report of the council was adopted : "The council have again the satisfaction of reporting favourably of the progress made by the socitty In the at tainment of its practice), and useful objects. The number of its members at the probing time differs by only 18 fr.m its amount at the date of the last general mestise, 174 names having hese removed by death or otherwise from the Het, while 156 sew inamben ease during the same period been sleeted into the society, which now consists of 90 life governors, 167 animal governors, 649 life memben, 4,315 annual members, and 19 lsmorary m, mben, making a total of 5,239. " Among the governors lost to the society by death the wooed have to record a name illurrious from its coanexiou with the Royal family of England, and endear. d to toe nation as borne by a prince distinguisned by so many virtues as his It lel Highness the Doke of Cambridge ; a nun, too, familiar and friendly in ati especiel m moor to the Royal Agricultural Society of England, on account of the deep interest taken by his Royal Ltighnies in the formation and welfare of the society, and h.s participation in the promotion of its country meeting.. " The council have to report favourably on the state of the finances of the society ; and to submit to the members the hall-yearly balance-sheet of the general account, and the special balance sheet of the country meeting at Exeter, alorg wita the q .arterly statements of income and expenditure, assets and liabilities, funded property, and current cash as count, laid before the council by the finance committee and auditory. " The journal of the society, transmitted postage free to the members in August last, will have borne to thrill in its own pages the best evidence of its intrinsic value. The thecoodang part, now en • the eve of publication, will no lose, the council believe, sustain the high °Waver of its predecessor, and still furt: r evince to the a misty the high privilege is members enjoy in being favoured with so Mega an amount of the devoted ettention of Mr. Posey. who, in his capacity of ebairman of the journal com mittee, effects that scission, arraegement, and elthora ton of matter for its pages, which results in so valuable a collection of data for immediate application in given eases, and for the further advancement of agricultural know. ledge. ' Boots, ' it is true, MI Mr. Poesy himself rearierks, will not teach farming ; but,' he adds, they describe the pr:cticee of the best taxmen, they well make men think, and show where to learn It. If our farmers will inquire what is doith by the foremost of them, they will themselves write su-h a bock of agricultural Improvement as never was writeen elsewhere in le,ible characters, with good straight furrows, on the broad per of Ragland.' The council trust that the best practice, whether ob.ained from the page* of the journal, or from personal inspection of the oast farming, will be thin transferred to the hitherto. neglected lands of the kingdom, sad lead to results alike satistaetory to all parties connect ed with them. Toe council are gratified to find that of all the journals sent to the members by poet, amounting In number to nearly 30,000 oopies,enly one case has been made known to them it which the journal has not evenivally neehed its destination ; they regard this fact as both important to the society and as reflect. ing the highest audit on the postal establchatent of the country. " The council have only to refer to the country meeting of the society, Id at the city of Exeter in July last, with the liveliest satisfaction, and to pronounce it as eomplete in all its detaali as the council could desire; the excellence of that meeting having been witnessed by all who had the pleasure of being present at it, and made known by public report to all others interim ed is its success who were from various causes unavoideb'y absent. Those only, however, that were present on that occasion could be impressed frith an adequate ides of the eewoostratioes of hearty welcome given to the society by the inhabitants of that • ancient and loyal city;' an expression of respect only equalled by their disinterestedness and genuine hospitality. The mayor and corporation, and the local committee, anticipated by their prompt and judicious measures every wish of the society during the preparations 100 the meeting, and the period of bolding It. Sir Thomas Arland, of Biller• ton, and Mr. Carney, at Barton, each gave • kind and friendly reception to the member), and submitted to their ie.pection their respective water and catch meadoes, which treated • lively interest la all who witnessed thew The principal railway cowponies, with their usual liberality, c..n. veyed the lies stock free along the respective lines to and from the show, and the implements at half the ordinary rates. The members were indebted to Professor Simonds for valuable lecture on the diseases of the liver in domesticated animals. Messrs. Taxford, of Bostoo, and Penn. Barrett sad Co., of Beading, kindly pined at the disposal of the stewards sad judges their respective st•an-enginae for denials the machinery under trial in the show yard. The metisty conveyed to all time respective parties at the time their grateful acknowledgments for the valuable services they had rendered to the society by their cordialco operation. The Boner meeting was also distinguished by a still further improvement iarroduced into the dynamometricil tasting of the ouriculteral machinery, by which new results, of great Inapurtaine in guiding the judges to their decisines. were obtained; and the rival exhibitor. of implements "melded themselves to judge of the actual power and working of their machines by simple inspection of the mechanical ragietration of results. Col. Cballoner, the senior steward of implements on that OCZafioll, has made to the society his report of the exhibition and trial of implements at the Baiter meeting, including a descriplos of the testing apparatus employed, sad enemata illustrating the momen tary variation of the actual power either pmeessed by the steam engines as prime movers, or required to work the various agricultural machines submitted to the test Cl trial. If anything further were required to prove the excellence of Ike Baster meeting, it would be the occurrence, for the fins time Ia the records of the society, of the emir' being equal to, or "'reedier, the payments on acoonat of a country meeting, Independently of the pries awarded on the occasion ; the Buster balance sheet sow laid before the members 'lowing a balance of 861 2s. 9d. in favour of the society.

Tao Dames of the parties are Timothy Donovan, Beniamin Ilarrionton, James Mahoney, John Macdonald, and Patrick Cooney. 1. order to understand the circus ',tenors under w►ack this, persona were spprebesded, it will be neceseary to recapitulate the loathe( features of the murder: Brown Ambrose, who was very respectably con nected in Plymouth, was brought op u • builder, bat was • earpeater, and he had Weal vine for toms months in Ceatral street, with a girl named 8: On the night of Saturday, the 16th of November, Ambrose wee disturbed after he was in bed by some one knocking at the door, sad on ascertaining who it was, Ambrose got out and opened it. Tacit annuonahla visitor was William Thomas, the owner of some of the river barges at the port of Plymouth, sod the captain of ose of thaw, and who bad been on friendly terms with Ambrosio for 16 ur 16 months. Thomas had been drinki,.g freely, bat spoke moat affeetionately to both parties. After a vain effort to get drink, he indiseed Ambrose to go out with his to accompany his a part of the way to his' home. Thomas resided at Mario. Town, D,vonport, nearly two miles off. Attie leaving the hoses, as if it were their intention to go towards Devonport, through Unioo.etrest, and by the priacipal thoroughfare, they turned back and went to Stunehoura-lane in Plymouth, which is occupied by all sons of person , , including a large migratory popula tion.

When they came to te *lidos of Plymouth with Stosehosee, sad were about to taro up fitokislaos towards Thomas's house, they were both hawked down by (according to both) one tall and one short was, both of whom spoke Irish. When Thomas recovered from the effects of the blow be bound his friend gone, as well as the parties by whom they had been attacked.

Dustier, Dao. 14. The great aectimulatios of business in the Encum bered Estates Court having rendered the appoint meet of a fourth commissioner indispensable, Mr. Stephen Woulfe Flanagan, the very efficient and popular secretary of the commission, has been pro moted to that offioe. Mr. Henry Carey, the present registrar, has succeeded Mr. Woolfe Flanagan in the secretaryship, and as at present arranged will fill the joint offixs of secretary and registrar. These ap pointments will be sure to afford general satisfaction. The &ming Mail, in making the annewicement, says : " Notwithstanding the trying and delicate nature of their duties, the commissioners and officials of this court have so conducted themselves as to occupy a position below that of no other public functionaries in the public esteem, and the new commissioner and secretary have already given ample pledges of their • efficteccy and popular qualities." The commissioners sat yesterday, as anal, for the purse of effecting isles, on which occasion no fewer than eight properties were submitted to competition. The court was well attended, and the tone of the market was, upon the whole, better than it had been for the last few weeks. With few excep tions, all the lots found ready purchasers, and prices in some instances were favourable to the sellers. The estate of the Rev. Mr. Lymberry, in the county of Waterford, containing 306 acres 8 poles, s'atote measure, and producing an annual profit rent of 2721. Os. 11d. sterling, ass bought by Mr. Henry Dix, for 3,0301. A property in the county of Tipperary, valued, according to the ordnance sur vey, at 3831. per annum, subject to tithe and tithe rent-cloarge,sold for 2,7601. The estates of Mr. Wil liam Young, in the counties of Cavan and Longford were put up in lots—those in the former county con sisting of 16, all of which but one were disposed of. The gross profit rental of the lots sold amountid to about 1,1951. per annum, which realised the sum of 15,6801. There were but two lots In the Longford estate the sale of which was postponed, owing to an alleged error in the printed rental; the second compri s ed lands yielding • net annual rental of 3091., and produced 3,5001. The estates of Mr. Maxwell Boyle, also situate in the county of Cavan, yielding a rental of 7301. parenting', were offered in eight lots, all of which found par- shelters, the gross sum realised being 12,8504 A very small property in Tipperary and King's County pro duced 1651.

A small property in Cork, and another in the King's County, produced 4001. each, and with these concluded the day's sales. The Limerick election may be said to have been decided yesterday, although a few voters remained to be polled yesterday morning. The defeat of the tenant league candidate was known to be inevitable for some days past, bat the result of the struggle between Mr. Geoid and Captain Dickson was quite unexpected, the latter having kept the lead for the first two dam and the former having made a most decisive push in advance yesterday.

Yesterday everting a crowded congregation assem bled at St George's Rumen Cetbclic Ca'hadn't to hear Cardinal Wiseman's second lecture on the constitution and functions of the Rumbas hierarchy. At the termination of the used evening monies, the 'ordinal wended the pulpit and delivered a lecture of which the following is an outline. Hs said that at the conclusion of the previous lecture lse had exhorted his hearers to put their confidence in the protection of the crown for the preservation of that religious liberty which had bens constitutioaally granted to therm Nor had he best disappointed in his hope. Nothing could give them • better idea of the armee of the crown of these realms, or the excellence of oar sessitution, than the event. that bed occurred in the mane of the preceding week. Most firmly rooted, indeed, must that throne be in the very hearts of the nation, when its occupier need exhibit no anxiety, nor be moved from a jest cad even course by a commotion which was disturbing the nation from end to end. A voles had been heard from the throne tender, yet fins as became a CICIINI3, extending protection to those who bad been assailed, and equal rights to all. It was his pleasing duty thus publicly to acknowledge his sense of the truly royal course which bad been adopted by our sovereign, and of the equity and moderation that had suggested it. With respeet to the functions of the catholic hierarelashe hid endeavoured to prove in his last lecture that its establish ment in this country was no invasion of the rights of any one, and it followed that ifs action lay stnctly within a' catholic sphere. Their wish was not to inertia.. their power bet to systematise and consolidate it. Every man had a' right to do what he liked with his own freehold provided he did cot 'lariats upon the ridit of his neighbour, and it was quite lawful for hint to decide upon what was necessary and proper for himself. They wars asked, why had they sought for the hierarchy ? And kis answer was, hid they trans. grassed the law, or gone beyond the limits of their um doubted right? II they had not, it was for them alone to judge what was necessary for their ecclesiastical government The establishment of a cati.olle hierarchy was a pro. teetion which they bad a right to 'nail), for the ititticlie system wes a combination of en unity so perfect, each branch was so connected the one with the other, that they must all remenjoined is unalterable connexion and in communication with the blessed see of Peter. But this anion between the various branches of the church and its supreme head, did sot consist in direct and constant com munication, bat in unity and harmonious connexion, the result of which wee that unity which they so highly prised. Ths churches of Spain, of Italy, of France, and 01 various other countries, stood in a relation to the great centre ot unity somewhat similar to that in which some of our golonies to the crown of these realms. Those colonies had been !rowed local constitutions with the power, under certain limits, of self government ? 011C•fttitl OCCUIOI4 of great importance it might be necessary to refer to the government at hem!, and there might be certain regulations according to the Mamma of the colony from the mother country. But could any one be surprised lithe colonies which had not been so favoured should with to attain the same level, and to be brought within the privileges and bene fit, of local elnstitutional government ? Such was pre. ce.ly the position of the catholic, of this country. He wished to be la •quality and communion with the ther branches of the Christian church, and they seught by constitutional means to carry their desire into ezectition. It was an ••••• of • very recast date that • vicar-apostolic in L *Mon bad iurisdiotion in Australia on the one side, end in the West Indies on the other. At length a vicar. apostolic was sent to Sydney, and he bed recently beau male archbishop of that town. Was it unnatural, then, that the catholic* of England, who had for 200 yean been under vicarsepostolic, should wish to be placed or. a level with these places? and was not the establi hment of • hierarchy is America, an offshoot of the Engish vicariate, ealcula•ed to increase the desire;' Any increase of power or preroga tive which might ensue from each • change were mere trifles to the solid advantages that meet accrue. Some ot his hearers might remember—although, indeed, recent events were calculated to drive recollection from the minds of men— that in the spring of the peanut year there was an aroma attempt mode by the moat zealous member* of the church of Englaud to promote synodical action in their church. Things went to such length as to threaten disruption between church and state; and the Bishop of Lsodon proposed a bill to obtain some' Ling like tree ecclesiastical scion in the quo Lion of login's, but his prayer was not granted in nor Nguema of his church being so let ered and hampered by that state upon which he was then calling to mail the catholic*. Them were then many who said that the church should smart its inalienable rights, and some went so far—oh that they would now remember thrill. words! —as to may that if the church did not reassert the doctrine el baptismal regoomation, she would, in feet, urchnrch herself, and he reepon.ibls for the loss of one of her most important dogmas. And yet she was obliged to forego that duty and to abide by the results. While all that agitation was going on amongst us in almost every country of the continent their catholic brethren were calmly and gravely meeting in repeated synods passing decrees and regulating practices, so that In future eocleaiestical histories this ear would moat probably be termed Me period of synods. if scab synods were near eery for continental churches, how much more Reesman were they for the English catholic*? For SOO years their church had boos under the ban of the state, and for nearly 200 had had death or exile banging over the heads of the bishops awl clergy. Toe noblest and best of the religion had bean visited with flues and confiscation ; they had no re. bourses for the education ot their nobility and gentry but the foreign colleges, and were without places of worship, without schools, and without ammonite. Surely such • state of things required some revi sion, Nob,y bad their little church righted itself afar the long storm, but still all that bad been done was only preparatory to the re establishment of the regular hierarMG cal system. Uedrr the late system the Vicars-Apostolic ears each as independent of the other as if he resided in a differ. eat country, there was no connexion between theta, no heed to all the pastors together. Bat order a hierarchy the WO was different. The bishops were all governed by a metro politan or primate, and their united decisions beams universal obligation. It wee clear then that this hierarchy was essential for catholic purposes only, and yet, strange to say, it had been represented as bowleg quite a different object. They had been told again aad again that this moo sure contemplated all Ragland, as If already catholic, end that the documents by which the hierarchy sou established were not used for catholic but for national purposes. Re bad looked carefully back over those documents to me whether there were any grounds for such an &earliest, and he could not find one lice to justify the incitement that had sprung up on this question. Beginning with the spar tolie latter 13,1 which the hierarchy was constitated, he found that it was addressed entirely to catholic England, and *poke exclusivelrof a catholic conatitutioo, and towards the socolu stun Motion was stated to be the Maiming of vicars apostolic into a regular hierarchy. In like manner he had looked over his own pastoral amounting his appointment to the me of Westminster, and ii only increased his astoaialment at the manner in which his words bad been wilarepreoented. That document was directed to the clergy, secular and regular, and to the faitblul of his diocese. No one Gould imagine it as addressing any other than catholic*, and at its conclusion it stated that the nisesure was a restoration ot tern catholic hierarchirdsovernmest in communication !vitt! the see of Bone. Busily no ens could have imagined that in that pastoral he could hone proposed to laded. all the protestante et this country with the established churches of England and Inland. The hierarchy of England was originally established by St. Gregory the Great, whole as ioosry, St. Augustin*, was mated Archbishop of Can. Ornery, and Irons that time to the BAtormation the Eighth emu& woe is communioe with the see of fit. Peter. At that period the dieting:ions were lot or abut. loud, sad the moth, front that time recognised by the state, rejected sommoloa with the apostolic see, and la its return was rejected by evuy other episcopal church It the world. Catholics had never reseguised that hair tinny, moor recognised it as put of the embolic shame, and for 300 jeers had suffered at the maid rather than recognise It. The staple tact wee then that ciao the reformation there bad not been in this seuatzy say hierarchy selusowledged by the eatholiss or by say other thatch is Christendom. That lately established was neognised, aad than the salty of the English eatimile Aura with the other chareket ef Christendom had beta restored. He did not speak this sontesaptaously, he merely stated it as a fact, reminding his hearers at the same time that the Anglian abut& did not seek such oonmitoion, but es the contrary absolutely respemiated it. There was thee so moor done to the Chunk el Ifni and whisk stood aloes, sad wished to remit' is the* potties. This led his to an important document whist had lately appeared, sad whisk had ea im mediate bearing co the 'ablest they had been sonsidering. Re alluded ti the address presented by M bishops of the Chock of England le the (loth. They might natantlly suppose that a Osumi so important had been meth Geo fatly prepared, and yet It appeared that three tightest dohs had been prepared from the fint sent by the MM.). pakten to his suffragans, net for their motheratio bet their subscription. Now if there was so point upon which it silt be expected all the.. drafts would agree, it would be the feadsineatal doetrine of royal supremasy. Ate tot when addresses from bishop, to their clergy, from clergy to their leeks, and from public men to their occutitnents, were being thud la Modred*, and la which they (the catholic') wimp old that they were Oaths, the royal supremacy, they certainly h.d a right to expect an Intelligible definition of that doctrine. Bat he would read what those three drafts said ea the object. It No. 1, which was seat to Butter from Lambeth, it wee stated that " aa unparalleled lush wee offered to her Majesty's peers prim and to lb. Omsk of whisk hrm Msjesty was the earthly head la this kingdom." la the next, hem the ease to the same, the words were "an unwarranted Jesuit has bees offered m the skunk in this kingdom, ova whisk you Majesty's authority is supreme."

The c►urch of 160 millions of people throughout Christendom, and of 10 or 12 millions of her Majesty's subjects, was stigmatised u blesphemlus, repag• nest to God's word, and perilous to salvation. Was it possible that so many could Ilse on such spiritual food ? Was It not es likely that those millions might be physically sustained by corrosive sublimate and prussic acid ? Hearing such sentiments impressed, what then was their duty with reseed to the establishment ? Why, simply to become part of that old and gloriouo church which had taught the truth for ages, to be recognised as one of the family of Christian churches, with sees pure, episcopate, sod tell and equal privileges, perfect instruction, although young in growth ; and as the each rat church built all its basilica. on the some plan, whether grand or small, whether the gor goons temple of the Lsteran or the wayside church, so wig the English easholic church the same in strue:urs and in principle as any of the churches of Ctristendom. In eon elusion he would congratulate his hearers that, differing from the state of the Anglican church during what was Galled the Gorham controversy, when to one sympatbi•ed with it, the English catholio church had with it in its present ' 1 straggle the prayers of all the churches in Christendom. Every catholic c matey in the world took the deepest interest in their position, sad importune' h with prayers in their behalf. From the cast multitudes assembled in msg. nificent churches to the scattered populations of the country, from the bishop of an ancient see to the MOUlliaill Curate, there was &volume ...prayer ascending for them ; and eves in the cc:oilcan of the consecrated virgins, w►e►e all worldly ofßees might knock in vain, the state of their church was sympathised with; and from the silent cells the spouses of God were offering up their prayers to h for the welfare of the catholic, of England.
