Yesterday the above estate was brought to the hammer, at the Auction Mart, by Mr. HOOO4 IT, in twenty-thrte lots. The great room of the above place was crowded to excess at an early hour, by a most re spectable assemblage, including several Gentlemen of extensive landed property, and great capitalists, who seemed desirous of swelling the amount of their rent rolls, by bidding for the property, which, for the splen dour of the Mansion, and beauty and situation of grounds, stands unrivalled by any other estate in the county of Hats.

MOSTREAL. JULY 22.—One of the Indian Chiefs who were some time ago presented to his MAJESTY, arrived yesterday, in the steam boat L4prarie, on his way to Caughnawaga, where there is to be held a grand Council, attended by Deputies from the most remote tribes, in order to take into consideration the encroach ments made upon their hunting grounds, and to devise means to prevent the same.

ROCK Lire ASSURA NCI COMPA NY.— An • extraor dinary General Court of this Company was held yester day, for the professed purpose of dividing amongst the Proprietors a bonus of 367,4231. We are unable, how• ever, to state whether this object was carried into effect, or what proceedings were adopted, as the Com pany seem averse to disclose their transactions to the public. The answer to persons presenting themselves on the part of the Press being, that none but Proprietors could be admitted to the Meeting. Accounts have been received at Lloyd's, that a Rus sian squadron, consisting of three line-of-battle ships and six frigates, was pa►sed on the 21:h inst. about seventy miles from land, by the Barrossa, arrived in Leith roads from St. Petersburgh.

MANCHESTER, Ana 24. There is no alteration in this mirket within the last two days, and the want of variety or change givei it an appearance of dullness. In fact, the improvement is not as progressive as was expected. There does not ap pear to be any tendency to a decline of prices, but cir cumstances which, in other times, would be considered very unimportant, have now sufficient influence to re tard, in some degree, the improvement which was so perceptible within the last few weeks. The failure of two houses (in a very limited trade) here has caused as much conversation and apprehension as the stoppageof as many banks would at another time. However, the Market does not retrograde. and all dispassionate per sons feel confident that prices cannot be lower. Relief is no longer given out to the pool ; and, consequently, the distress appears to increa,e; but it is to be hoped that some relief will be shortly rendered to the poor, either through the means of money, food, or employment. It is in agitation to create employ meet for the adult poor upon the public roads, but there is great difficulty in get ting at the means which are suggested for that purpose. DUNDEE. About the latter end of last week, hand bills were posted through the town, announcing that, by pern.is• lion of e.e Provost and Magistrates, a general meeting of the inhabitants of the town and parish of Dundee was to be held in the Caledonian Hall, Ca•tle street, on Monday, the 14th current, to consider the propriety of petitioning the King in Council to order the pods to be immediately opened for five hundred thousand quarters of grain, and the locks of the bonded warehouses to let loose the 300,000 quarters of grain, in terms of the Act of the last Session of Parliament. S'►ortly after the appointed hour, the Hall was crowded, chiefly by the labouring classes—a Committee of whom had previously prepared a petition. The mover, in a short speech, reprobated the turbu lent proceedings of the labouring classes in some puts of Ragland, as more productive of that misery from which they wished to escape than even bad laws. He complimented his Majesty's Ministers for their liberal conduct in so far establishi►►g free trade ; but feared, if it was not extended to the corn trade, more harm bad been done than good. He read the proposed petition, and mowed that it be subscribed by the Chairman and transmitted to Mr. Se. eretary Peel, to be presented to his Majesty, which was agreed to after some discussion.

It is supposed she has not sustained much damage, as she makes but little water.— The United States American rigate, and the Diligent, French corvette, rendered the Inca every assistance, in the absence of Bri tish ships of war. Sir THOMAS MARTIN, whilst mustering the artificers at Plymouth Dock-yard, last week, ndticed several of the men with long beards. They turned out to be disciples of Southeott ; but Sir Turmas could not see what a beard had to do with religion, and told them the Navy Board would decline placing apprentices under them whilst so di.tfigured. A public Meeting has taken place in Trinidad, for the purpose of taking into consideration a Petition to Parliament, on the subject of the Order in Council, con eerning the treatment of slaves. The inhabitants of Trinidad solemnly declare, that they are sincerely and heartily desirous to promote the amelioration of the c dition of the slave population in that Island, and that, on that subject, the Resolutions of the House of Com mons of the 15th of May, 1845, have ever met with their unqualified approbation; and they pledge them selves to support and promot to the utmost or their power, all measures founded on the spirit and prin ciples of those Resolutions. Two ships, the Grenada, bound to Sidney, New South Wales, and the Sir Charles Forbes, to Van Diemen's Land, are now lying off Woolwich, and are receiving on board female convicts sentenced to be transported. Within the last few days nearly 60 have been removed from Newgate, and many ate daily arriving from the various country gaols. So disproportionate are the numbers of male and female convicts is the above mentioned Colonies, that Government send Tay few women to the Penitentiary at Idillbank. Those who go abroad are placed under the entire control and manage ment of a naval surgeon, who, in addition to his regular pay, receives a certain allowance for each woman who arrives at the place of the ship's de.tination. The last ship which took out female convicts contained about 150, only one of whom died on the voyage. The public attention has frequently been drawn to the subject of the numerous accidents which have oc curred, in consequence of the careless manner in which the steam vessels are managed. The case of the death of Captain Pritchard, in which the Coroner's Inquest levied a deodand of 1001. upon the vessel, will be re collected, and there now scarcely a week passes without I some disaster being occasioned by the rapidity with which the vessels pass through the water, thereby causing a heavy and dangerous swell. A short time back two boys in a boat narrowly escaped drowning, the boat being swamped; and a few days before, a barge laden with 50 chaldrons of coals, although safely moored, was filled with water, and completely sunk. It is said to be the intention of those engaged in busi nesses connected with the navigation of the Thames, to take steps for the purpose of preventing the steam vessels a from coming into the pool. LAW ILIPOWL COURT OP CHANCERY, Amos ss. Mr. LOVAT applied for an injunetioa to restrain Messrs. Pickering and Gray, trustees for Lady Amon, who, he said, had applied monies inconsistently with the purposes of their trust, from continuing to act is that trust. The LORD CHANCELLOR ordered the injunction to issue, but directed th.t affidavits might he filed, setting forth the particulars of the trustees' alleged misconduct; for he did not like, without such evidence, to affix upon men the imputation of misconduct, which would expose them to the severest penalty. If the money bad been placed in the bands of the Accountant• General, the pre seat difficulty would not have arisen. 'LAWMAN V.

MENDICITY ASSOCIATION, DUBLIN. Wednesday there was a most numerous and respectable Meeting of the Parishioners of St. Mary's, Dublin, called by advertisement from the Churchwardens, in conse quence of a circular letter received from the Secretary to the Mendicity Association, setting forth the exhausted. state of the lands, and t he imminent danger of. the Managing Committee being compelled to relinquish their labours, and discharge the whole of those union. tunate persons now on the list. Mr. ABBOT (Barrister), one of the Joint Honorary Secretaries, attended Irons the Men. kit yAssocia ion, and gave such information as was necessary to the Messing to guide their proceedings; a list was alm laid on thetable of all the houses in the parish which did not contribute.. Mr. Saxes Curzon also attended as Wed's', and spoke strongly in favour of a modified system of Poor Laws beieg intro duced into this country. A Resolution was proposed to the effect, that w Peti•. don should be forwarded to Parliament, praying an Act to establish a fund for the support of the Institution, which should be permanent in its nature, and to which all should be oblbged to contribute. T he Resolution, however, was not persisted in, Mr. Abbott and °theta stating, that it was against the wish of the M 'staging Committee, and also in opposition to the principle upon which the Institution was originally formed, that any compulsory levy on the citizens of Dublin should be resorted to. After mkt further dheuedon, a Committee was app.:Ante d, and a Rawhides poised that every parishioner should be applied to.
