Aa agitation mach more earnest tha n sty on. an ticipated against the contemplated abliiiaa of the Lord Lieutenancy seems already to have set in, sod we shallprobably have • aeries of meetiags in other parts of Ireland.. well as in Dublin to express the popular feelings on the 'object. A commencement was made yesterday by the Dublin Trades' Protective Society, which was presided over on the occasion by Alderman Kinahan. Several respectable merchants and tredeemen taking part in the proceedings. The following resolution was adopted : That understands/ it to be the hatentlon of her Mairstv's goveroment to handless a bill kw the abolition of the nines of Lxd Llintessat I. 'reload, this moiety, having for im sole *Wet to testa over sad guard the oemen•reial isterers of the trichn of Dublin, and therefore declining to Moot` nay opiates as to ate political bearing of the subjecit,eateitlen it to be not ashy be legitimate eines, but its incumbent duty, to protest is the strongest winter against say measure having for its pupae the removal of the viceregal court from Dublin is calculated to inflict serious injury o• the alrvady greatly depressed trade of this city. The co-operation of the Chamber of Commerce was also solicited by the meeting, and a strong re ling was express, d that, apart from political coniiderations, the trade of Dublin would be materially injured by the withdrawal of the Irish court. It is only right to mention that these opinions seem to have sprung up within the last few days, and that the general im prvseion previously appeared to be that the commerce of Dublin derived but very insignificant aid from the presence of the vicertgel court. At the present mo ment, however, even • small loss will be gravely felt, and there is no cionfidence that any equivalent will be substituted. The weather continues to be of the most cheering and seasonable description, and the spring work is plied with the most indefatigable industry. Never has there been so much accomplished in Ireland in the same @paw of time as the last month. Detachments of coorabulary are still moving to wards the north from the interior of the conotry, as well as from the depdt in Dublin; although these precautions are taken, any apprehension of party collisions to-morrow have entirely ceased. FINR ARTS. THE EXPOSITION OF FRENCH INDUSTRY, HANOVER SQUARE. This foreign bazaar—for this it is to all intents and purposes—vu re-opened a few evenings since, after being closed a short time for the purpose of making additions and replacing the wares previously disposed of. As the sober daylight is more to be trusted in examining works of this nature than the lustre of gas, this notice was postponed ; and the result of a daylight examination induose the opinion that on the whole the exhibition is feeble, and can by no means afford • criterion by which the present state of ornamental art or the skill or its handicraftsmen may be fairly judged. The chief ingenuity the exhibitors cats lay claim to is that of having so laid out their wares u to tempt the pert:haw rather than please the amateur. While the Gebelins tapestry and the Aubusson carpets are old and faded, the sham knick-knackery, for which the continent is so famous, is of the worst descrip tion. Tali partial sucoess of "imitation" works is a melancholy feature of the times; and if anything can be worse than the late invention, or rather perfection, of gilding and silvering bronze, it is the combination of the two. The bad colour and worse ornamentation show the vitiated principle, and it is no palliation to argue cheapness. What is intrinsically warthless is dear at any price. The talented bronzes of Barye also show what can be done, when remaining true to the metal. But if so much stress is laid on this want of integrity in art ns..nufacture, it is because there seems to be a lamentable tendency to adopt it in this country. The clumsy chiselling of the biscuit porcelain has been incomprehensibly sought after under the cognomen of Parian : their machine wood-carving has been applied to the House of Lords. The spirit of ma chinery hu crept over the handicraftsmen, and the most that can ba said of their work is that it is that of skilful automata. If instead of going back to the days of Bernard de Palyssy and Leonard of Limoges, those genii of French pottery, we only look back to 60 or 70 years since, the falling off of the French taste is lamentable : if only, as an example, the &nes specimens of china and enamel may be instanced. This will at once be felt by comparing the naughty little file-d-014 tea service of the past with the elaborate picturing of late cup-adornment. Not only is the form inferior, but the harmony is gone. The secret of acquiring the beautiful turquoise blue is !or; and this, as well as the adoption of pictorial embellishment, has been sufficient to render them as useless as they are unornamentsl. Still much pleasure may be derived at this exhibi tion, by examining that which seems unobtrusive : John Bull ought not to be plied with the gaudy. Those little objects of luxury, for which M. Susie is so famed deserve notice; beautiful Lyons silks, merinos, cashmeres, blonde, and jewellery, make up the catalogue. ati l t seised Weber's *wit that the nese of unity ard coogruity is saw &lambed for a moment and the predasa of these recitatives is one of the boldest sad most successful musical efforts that we know of. The original dialogue is necessa rily much abridged, but this matters little, as it is not remarkable for force or spirit, and its condensation is sufficient for dramatic effect. The performance, taken as a whole, much tram emended our expectations. The noble orchestra— nobler than ever—bad full scope for ite powers in the music of Weber. The overture, often and often as it has been heard, seemed something quite new and sur- In regard to the performed., of the various cha racters, it was on the whole satisfactory, and did not derogate from, if it did not enhance, the effect of the ananabla. The charaster of Mar (called Giulio) was sustain, dby Signor /*Jerald, a debutant in this country. His tenor voice has little power, bet its quality is good, and his acting and singing, though not striking, were marked by judgment and pro priety. is execution of the great arena, containing the tine air, " Dumb die Wilder" (" Per i baechi"), was exceedingly good, and mach epplroded. Ma dame Cistellan was as graceful and beautiful an Agatha as can be imagined, and her performance of it was pleasing; but she was not at home in the style of the mum, and its difficulties sometimes exce ed ed her powers. She introduced ornaments which Weber's melodies do not bear; and, being frequently obliged to force her voice beyond its proper compass, she pang sharp as a necessary consequence. Mademoiselle Vero from whom less was expected, achieved a tri umph in the eseoadare but very pretty part of Annetta (Amami). acted with activate and spirit, sad sang the principal airs with a voice of delightful freshness and homey, and great simplicity. In the 'aloft', . , t mint en schlanker Bunch" (" Visa an giovin di bel thee" she was enthusiastically applauded. Herr Formes was the Cave-. The part is well suited to him, and he played it with a rude energy that was very effective. But his singing had the coarseness which always characterises it. It was often mere bellowing rather than singing, offensively loud men in that immerse theatre. Maisel played the little part of Kilian, a part beneath his position mid his powers; but he are it imp stance by his ad mirable performance, and mainly contributed to the spirit with which the beginning of the piece went off. Mdlle. Cotti (from Mr. Mitchell's Opera Comique), ea the leader of the troop of bridemaideos, gave great effeet to the chorus by the pretty way in which she sang the solos; and the other subordinate parts were well filled. There being no ballet after the opera, the entertain ment was over by the reasonable hour of eleven o'clock. AND CLERICAL.

ATHocrOus OUMOZ.— On Thursday a man named Abraham Hicks, a carter to Mr. Weston, who resides at Batty-hill. near Swindon, was brought before the magic Crates—the Earl of Radnor, James Clowdy, J. E. Prower, and 8. C. Saddler, &qrs., on a charge of attempting to violate sad warder a married female named Elisabeth Daley. It appeared that the proeeeterix (who is at present so injured as to be unable to leave her hod) was a dealer in bane, and frequently visited Cirencester. On the preceding Friday she was proceeding along the high road leading from Ashton Keys s, when she met the prisoner, who was driving a hone and wt. Having frequently seen the prisoner before, sad knowing that he was going her way, she asked him to give her a lift is his vehicle. He immediately animeated ; but, as the sort was proceeding animals Iliddingtoe, loud cries of murder were heard is the cart. A man named Smith intently went up to the cart, and tried to stop the hone, for the purpose of learning what was the mater. The prisoner thetenpm threatened if be interfered that he would murder him. Feeling apprehensive for his own safety, he allowed the fellow to proceed, who, on getting SINN distance further, threw the female ant and left her for dead. She was found at 7 aer'ock by Mr. Broad, a baker, quite insensible, in the turnpike-road. Her face wee literally smashed; he eyse, nose, and mouth were frightfully muti laud, her lower jaw broken, and her teeth, with part of the jawbone, were plated up in the public road. The wounds appear to have been inflicted by kicks, acre the handle of the whip ; the latter was covered with blood, and there was a great deal of blood is the bottom of the cart. From the dorsi Lions taken at the woman's bed side, it seems that be cause she declined to comply with overtures made by the prisoner he tried to murder her. He was fully commuted to take his trial at the next amines ALLEGED MURDER BY COLLIERS ON STRIKE.— The coroner's inquest co the body of John Thome., whom death was caustd by the burns and injeti a he sustained from as explosion a combustibles thrust into his balroom, where his wits and family were sleeping, was brought to a conclusion on Wednesday last, at Aberdare.

A verdict of " Wilisl murder against soma person or persons unknown," was returned. On Mooday lest the colliers on strike to the number of about 400, marched from the Cardiff )irms, Aberanam, to the - loam d leassion teak MUSIC. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. Covent Garden has begun its fourth season u a great Italian Opera-house ; and we hope that the new , managers will conduct its affairs with greater 1141CCeli than their predecessers. They have received from experience severe, and, we trust, salutary lessons, which have probably taught them to avoid the rocks on which others have split and escape the disastrous shipwrecks of former years. For spirit, enterprise, ' and liberality the management of the Royal Italian Opera has all along been distinguished. But a ju dicious economy must be substituted for reckless pro fusion; and prudence and foresight must take the place of that improvidence which has hitherto lavished immense sums at times and in circum stances when they must necessarily have been unavailing. One rock there is, ahead of the present management, the danger of which they should keep constantly in view. We have seen many attempts to form theatrical commonwealths, but none that have been successful. They are pregnant with the seeds of dissolution. When actors are also managers (or, which is the same thing, have power to control the nominal management) there arise among , them conflicting interests and feelings, jealooeies of each other, unwillingness to admit or give fair play to apprehended competitors and rivals, and other selfish movements of the spirit, which it is almost beyond human nature to be free from, and which demand almost more than human magnanimity to subdue. If each " bright particular star " of the Covent-garden hemisphe re is content with its place in the constella tion to which it belongs, they may long shine brilli antly together, and utter music harmonious as the music of the spheres.' If not—but we will not anti- cipate what, in such a cue, would be the inevitable end. The theatre opened on Saturday evening. The in terest taken by the public in this event was shown by the eager press to gain admittance, and by the great audience who filled every part of the holm,. The Queen and Prince Albert evineed their favourable dis p‘sition towards the theatre by honourin; it with their presence on the opening night. They occupied the royal box, accompanied by the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal; this being, we think, the first visit of the royal children to a public theatre.

Though the wind was cold and biting, • large number of persons were present, and the beats and railway brought down numerous visitors. The interest manifested to the event may be traced to • distinct male. For • long time put, • battle royal has existed between the two rival schools of shipbuilders, Chown pops. larly as the intuitive school and the sedentifte school. The name, however, do not fairly express the distinction between the Wm schools, being both exaggerations ; and it has been this previa", Mame ponies of tee dally press to increase these eaampratloas by a wanton perversion of lasts and figures. Thus the intuitive school, as represented by Sir Wm. Sysainds, the late surveyor of the navy, has been mar. ninety preeenned, while to all unprejudiced persons it mast be evident that his Taub were not a vast improvement on the previous existing ships, but wßis many of them models which it will be difficult to eclipse. That he made great failures is °befogs, bat many of the more earl's* of them are not fairly chargeable upon him ; the armament, and lie the case of steam.veseels, the amount of engine power I having frequently been altered after the vessel was laid down. Oa the other hand the products of the scientific school as represented by the School of Naval Architecture, have been greatly over rated, as the vessel turned out by this school show. A new school is now before the public, combining the selentilio" with the intuitive," and of this school the architect of the Nankin boos of the representatives.

The time flied for the launch was about half-past two o'clock, and at that hour an immense number of spectators had assembled, including persons of rat k and title, whom to name alone would transgress the limits ordi narily allotted to an article of this kind. Rear Admiral Dendas, M.P., First Naval L.rd of the Ad miralty with several of his collosgues were present. and just before the vessel left the stooks, the Black Eagle, Admiralty at.-yacht, which had conveyed their lordships oa the previous day to Chatham and Sheerness, arrived from the Medway. This bands of the R gal Marines and dockyard battalion were in attendance, and performed several aattonal and naval airs. At half past two Miss Parker performed the ceremon of christening the vessel, by breaking a bottle of wine on her bows and in pronouncing her name. Owing to some delay in main the arrangements, it was nearly tea minutes after this time before the dogshores could be knocked away. When this was don, however, the vessel slowly left the •` cradle of her birth," and was in a moment upon the water. The bawls immediately played " God save the Queen," and the assembled thousands save three hearty and prolonged cheers. The tide carried her some distance up the stream, and the African and Jasper, at tugs, hav ing been harnessed to her, started off immediately for Chat ham, where the Nankin will be fitted for sea. .

About 12 days ago a small quantity of tea was discovered scattered about the yard, and on a search being made in the store, some canisters in which tea for present shipment was kept, were found to be pertfelly emptied, the deficiency amounting to nearly &fibs. There being no clue to be had as to the cause of the decrease, Kr. William Leg gett, superintendent of Portsmouth police, wee sent for, likewise an officer from the London police. By their joint exertion a discovery was made, which caused the investiga tion, and upen its termination the result was made k men to the Admiralty. On Wednesday morning an order came from their lordships, dismissing from the yard Richards, foreman of the tea store, and three labourers—Brown, Saunders, and Berry. The latter has been above 30 years in the yard, and has always borne en excellent character.

Mon the Dail Ka") IN the worse of oar observations ea the Garbage ease, we have been solicitous to avoid the theological merits of the question in dispute and to °online oar attention to its political sad social 'adduces. nese, we believe, are nuttier few nor onimpirtast. Any one who has perceived the great and growing influent* which the churchless lately obtained. by the increased zeal of thi inferior clergy, sad who bee else been in a position to become acquainted with the fact that the ranks of the clergy are constantly being recruited by new levies of semi-tractariess from Oxford to Cambridge, cannot but ecknowledge that the theological storm in the upper regions must pro- does its effects upon the surface of society. Among the most prominent features of this commotion are the protests of Mr. DENISON and Mr. BENNETT. Under ordinary circumstances we should not have noticed these productions—their authors are angling for a martyrdom which we do not think it likely they will obtain—it is simply that these protests mark the existence of certain ter dencies amongst en icfiuential portion of our social mystem, that they obtain notice in our columns. The extravagance of trac t& ianism has died away; the retreating waves have, however, left behind them a slime which is fertilising th e soil of the church, end rendering it prolific in monstrosities. In separating the principles of Mr. BENNirrr and Mr. Dampens from the mass of verbiage in which they are enveloped, and finding that these principles serve as watchwords amongst a majority of the rising clergy, we moot help holding them up to view to the ecclesiastical authorities, and asking, is this a sample of the instruction which you profess yourselves to be exclusively authorised is giving to the nation ? We say as the king said when he sent beck tte blood-stained armour of the traitor bishop to the Pope, "Are these your son's garments f" The first remarkable feature in the new constitu tion as preeebed by Mr. BreNETT,and believed in by so many of the younger clergy, is that u churchmen they star.d in a peculiar position to the sovereign and the state. Dissenters cannot occupy this position. Tbe rats (says Mr. Bennett) is totally dirtact from the person of the sovereign. Whatever politics may be, Chris tianity looks epos the rover. its a a religious person anolated M the Lend. The churcA whatever the state may do, glue tt the sivireign preeideney over all things eaten anneal as well as civil. Tee church is therefore blond to render unto the sovereign not by her politics but her religion, obedient's, bye sod loyalty—those who are wot wahine of the church. suck as dassenters, can not reomnim the higher duty of obs. log on the prisciples of the church. Teo sovereign exercises hie *Mee as coming from GOD, *he state as sousing from MAN. There fon it might happen that while the church is fully unttegi with the saverears as as anointed parson, being so anointed the church and therefore in the cketreb, it might b • totally separate tram the rate, which might be aa ungodly incorpo ration opposed to Christianity. Now, we shoull like any traotarian doctor to ex plain to us in wrist manner the above doctrine differs from any revolutionary theory promulgated by the reddest of all republioars, in so far as its tendency to cause a disruption in the body politic is copc:rned. What becomes of the constitution when a devoted and exclusive adherence to one of the three estates is advocated not merely as a poli tical right, but a religious duty ? What is the sustaining principle of every revolution but the assumed right of one class to detach itself from co-operation with the rest of the political body ?, Who but the maddest revolutionist will assert the right of individuals to choose one division of the government as the object of its obedience and ignore the others? What is the meaning of the govern ment of the kingdom minus the houses of parliament? We would request all young lades who are working their eves out in fabricating medieval altar cloths, to ask - these questions of their spiritual advisers, and nut to be agitated until they are assured that the produce of their labours will not be need as standards of rebellion by Anglican Montagnards. Mr. DENISON is careful not to be behind his reve rend brother in the race of sedition. He writes: Since the church of E.•g'snd possesses (•uhject to the universal church) the power of interpretiag. &c., such defi 'Wons as the universal church (which is the universal church )) bee framed—sad sines a court constituted by let of parliament alone chims ant exercises a power to confirm. reverse, rtz., the d.cisionS of the courts of the elturch—and sines no judgment pronounced by the Judicial Committee in reap' et of matters of doctrine can be accepted by the church, George Anthony Denison, clerk, &e , do enter my solemn protest against the state of the law. &o. . . And in soother protest he warns all Christian people of his parish to beware of slowing themselves to be moved or influenced by the 'sentence of the judicial committee of the Privy ConneiL As the said committee forms the highest court of appeal in the realm, this warning sounds to us as something much more seditious than any of the chartist proclamations whilt startled the loyal cit4ens of London two years ago : If Mr. DENtsox has any chartists in his parish, we are drain that his exburtations to them in future on the duty of the preservation of good order, will be likely to tall upon deaf ears. He will be told that there is no patent mould for sedition. and no exclusive right to a monopoly of rebellion. Some classical consp.rator may possibly twit him with the well-known line : (leis tal rit Graeae@ de eeditinne querestee ? It may be asked why pay attention to two extrava gant exceptions from the ordinary rule of submission to a legal decision in the church P What is there in these protests to er title them to notice? Are butter flies worth breaking upen wheels? Perhaps not. But the reason which confers on theme two gentlemen a glory which they do not possess in their own per sons is, that although there may not be many bene ficed clergymen who are likely to follow their example, still it is no less true that the lower ranks of the church are being filled with young and ardent enthusiasts, who are anxious for the honour of martyrdom in such a cause. The principle of these protests is in fashion at the universities. More than two-thirds of the caodidatet for ordination ' who graduate at Oxford, and more than one-half of those who graduate at Cambridge, hold opinions on church matter, similar to those held by Mr. BENNETT and Mr. DENISON. As the whole life of the church is at the present day concentrated in its inferior orders. we cannot help thinking that these phenomena are significant; and at a time when reaction seems the rule in f .reign pelitics, it would be well for liberals in England to watch closely the operation of reactionary elements at home. Meantime, whilst we call on the public to mark :hese doings, the hearis of the church, as well as of the law, have, we understand, not been inattentive. There is said to be rank treason in these protests. It is, however, the treason of a madman, whom it would not be wise to promote into a martyr.

BARON LATcocn a. NEALB.—BUFACK or PllOllllll OF 'Caimans. This was a special jury case --Mr. Humphrey said the plaintiff in the action was Miss Elise Laycock. Thr plaintiff was the daughter of a highly respectable tract sman at Shef field, and was now of the age of 29. The defendant. Mr. Neale, was a surveyor and lend agent residing at Mans field, in this limy. In the year 1843, the defendant wee a pupil with a gentleman named Bright, a land surveyor at Sheffield, and it was in that year he first formed the acquaintance of hime Layonek, and began to visit at her lather's house. In the year 1844 the defendant made an offer of marriage to the young lady, with the approbation of her tithe r and his own friend.. See was at that time of the age of 23, and he with pretty nearly ab .ut the same age. In the year 1845 he obtained an ap pointment in Norfolk, wider Sir Richard Sutton, at a salary of 150?. a year, with a house to live in, rent free. In the year 1847 or 1848 be lelt this situation, and settled himself at Matalield. Fries the year 1814, down to the month of August, 1849, he continued to correspond with the plaintiff, frequently regretting that his situation did not enable him to merry, bat statiog that his proaprets were most encouraging. He gradually improved his posi tion, until at la it was thought by the family that he was about to be married. But in August, 1849, without one single word, without one reproach upon the character of this young woman, without an excuse of any sort except that he had changed his mind, for he did not think he should be happy with her, he swdderl. desired to break off' the eagsgement, for atter having been an Ear more than five successive years, during which me - he had continually held oat to her hops* of a comfortable happy home. The learned counsel then proceeded to read scat of the defendant's lawn to the plaintiff. The following /otter was written at one of Sir Richard Button's seats: Woodford, April IS, 1815. My dear Elln.—Although I only got your letter this morning, I will beim one to you now, and I trunk by Saturday I shall get a geed long one ready. • • • There la a nioe Oust and lake at Woodford, and I have an opinion that I could spend a pleasant summer's even. log here. • • • The garden looks delightful now; It is a title CrZin. • • • I wall be bound to my you would make • capital e woman.

Birds of every deorription are Anging, and the squirrels are bopping about this morning. The bright sunbeams sparkle on the dew, ea tt hangs like drops of crystal from the leaves, and the wind whistles through the branches. The leased counsel read several other letters, written in the year 1845. One, b aMng date June 25, contains the following passages: My great holism begin, to look a little tidy, at least that part of it which I intend to oocupy.

Mr. Henry Leycock, residing in London, brother to the plaintiff, narrated the circumstances attending the de fendant's introduction to h.e sister, and detailed the facts of the case as stated by Mr. liumfrey. He further sai , '—On the 31st August, 1849, I receiv.d a letter from my father, in cons,quence of which I went to the defendant's house at Mansfield. He had a large house of his own wed furnished, khousekeeper, a pupil, and be kept a horse and a boy to attend to it. lie was net at home, and I called again the fol lowing day, when I bad an interview v. ith him. I told him I bad called i Icons. (pence of an intimation I had r c. iv. d respecting the change in Isis conduct towards my sister. He told me he could not marry my sister, but declined to say why. I told him! should not be SAUtfi,d unless I had semi reason. He pointed to a candle on the table, and said " that candle burns, but I cannot say why it burn.; neither can I expre , s my reasons why I cannot marry your sister.' He afterwards said that, at the time he entered into the engage ment, be was not in a situation to be able to judge of the seriousness and importance ot the proposition. I suppose he is about 29 or 30 years old, and I told him that he had had plenty of time to reflect upon his proposition; and that if any one had Vld him he was nr.t capable of •udging on any other matter, he would have felt bineselt much insulted. This witness, being crossexeminel by Mr. Mscaulav, said he had no means of judging that the defendant was 29; he did not know that he was only 27. lie believed his sister had kept copies of some of her letters to the defendant. Did not hear that the rent of defecdsnt's " large house" was 154, a year. Witness had employed the attorney+ in the case (Messrs. Yarborough and Wilkinson) on behalf of his sister. He had pledged his sister's credit. She had no pro perty. He believed Mr. Neale had no prop.riy. Another witness having given evidence to prove that the plaintiff and defendant were considered "engaged," Mr. Macaulay addressed the jury on behalf of the de ferment, stating that it was simply a question of damages, his client having admitted the breach of a promise, but con tending that when that promise was made the defendant was not sufficiently experienced in the world, and not in a position to mike so serious an engagement. He draw the attention of the jury to •he defendant's letters, which he designated as exceedingly tepid, and asserted that they gave evidence of the want of that sort of attachment between the plaintiff and defendant, which would make the marriage life a happy and comfortable one, and therefore by dissolving the contract the defendant c mit reed an equal benefit upon the plaintiff and himself, and that she could not consequently be entitled to heavy canines.

This morning having been specially appointed by Mr. Justice Talfourd for the trial of Mr. John Brake, yeoman, of Sydling, on the eh .rge of killing a bay at vie Dorset Protection Meeting, the court was tilled at an early hour by a dense miss of persons, anxious to hear this ex :icing inquiry. The charge against the ri•oaer was for the manslaughter of Williams Allen, on the 20th of F.-bruarv, at Forclington, by striking him on the Lead, and givirg him a mow( bruise. Mr. Phinn stated the ease, and described the facts as they aft rwards were deposed to briefly. On the 20th of February list, in consequence of a requisition, the High Sheriff called a county meeting, for the purpose of cot:alit-ring the propriety of petitioning for agrcultural protection—a very legitimate purpose, and, as the learned counsel thought highly to he commended. The meeting was atteaded by a large number of farmers and also by juries holding a dif ferent opinion, and as it was an open meeting every one had a right to be present and to be heard, though, if the other party had gone solely with the intention of disturbing the meeting, it would have been perfectly right to expel these. They were so expelled, and, he regb tied to sae, with consi derable force and violence and with the use of sticks. A number of stones were then thrown through the building, and the meeting was adjourned. At its termina tisn the farmers were used, d with a volley of stones; they charged the moo and dispersed it .01 their sticks, ant in that affray the unfortunate boy was killed.
