Pill :I CF. nRTST. OCT. 8. About the 13th January, I Sin, the cutter the African w•as sent on a trading voyage- to the different factories nn the coast of Africa, from Senegal to Prince's Islands, and St. Thomas. We sailed from St. Louis (Senegal) on the 19th January, going at first to Goree, to water ; after altieh we anchored at Sit rra Leone in the beginning of February. Till then We had nothing to complain of but toe exorbitant dues levied there by the English Collector, fa t tening sotat dried vegetaldi s, and replacing some of our water. On the 13th we weighed, with orders to keep as close in shore as possible. taking the direction of Cape Mesurado, where there is an American factory. On .the I sth we saw a brig to the leeward, which came up with us, after we WI been lying-to about an hour, on account of the night. As the e tme near us she slackened sail, hailed us at first in Englih, and ordered us afterwards, in French, to lower boat, accompanying the order with two musket shots. — ..l. Revillon, the supercargo, went on board the brig at once,,where he was seized, with his papers, the boat's trew, and the bast itself. The boat returned in half an hour, and we supposed that it contained our shipmates; lilt ten mot sod:lei:ly jumped amougatns, with daggers in ore hand atid pistols in the other. ordering us, some in French, some in Spanish, to go below. The Captain and ltite retired to the cabin, end the sailors to the forecastle. After shutting us up, and placing a sentinel upon us, flu y reecolcd. to rifle the store-room and officers trunks, other piratta joining them. At three in the morning, after keep ing us cat:inttl five hours, they sent hack the supercargo and boat's crew, and sailed before day light. The veil: I was left in a state of dreadful confusion, and we were obliged to Taunt to the factory of Albreda, in the Gambia, wi:ere we fortunately found his Majesty's ship Le Toulon ilaise, front the Captain of which we received the greatest ,• kindness.

Many points of law will arise upon the civil bills ; but I am apprehensive that they may be urged without avail, in which cue it will be requisite to lodge appeals, and the Act requires that the rest should be deposited with the Clerk of the Peace, in or der to stay execution.

There will be an effort made to oblige tare Baronet to perfect the counterparts of their leases, one part 0..1y being per fected. which he retains, for the purpose of preventing a renewal of their registry, as he can no longer count on their vot:s." This is a horrid state of things. You have no idea of the state of excitement now in this country. (god grant that something May be done speetlily to allay the irritation of the public mind. I assure you the Catholics now are very impenetrable in Ireland. There never was a {period when so much union existed Rolm:gat all classes of the body. The Clergy, with their Bishops' and Archbishops, are continually sending in some expression of approval of the measures pursued by the laity.

Persons who have the good fortune to be often shout the Pope cannot rind words to express the profound affliction with which the events of the day, especially those in Ro magna, have tilled his heart ; it is affirmed that the obsti nate wickedness, or stupid ignorance, with which his truly paternal intentions are counteracted, often afil‘et him to tears. Can it excite surprise that be, as the head of the Christian Church, the spiritual and temporal shepherd of his people, has judged it necessary, under geese circum stances, to implore the airs .of ifisaveu..teaveit evila-betk near and remite? A religious proclamation (Ittrito sagra) prescribes nine days' prayers to be perforated, and three days' fasts; the first in the chapel of the Salida Sanclortmt, the vomit in the llorghcse chapel en Maria Maggiore, and the third in the chapel of the Archangel Mi chael in St. Peter's. In the first and third, the Litany of All Saint:, and the prayers belonging to it, are to be sung; in the s.:cond, the Lauretan Litany, and the Miser tre, with the prayer Deus lirfugiunt tbj;•ntle, and Deus emotion: Fi fifthly'', and he concluded on each day with the Sacrament. Each prayer begins two hours and a half before sunset, and continues about that tiinc. The last of the nine days (lath April), being the eve of the Feast of St. Michael, is to be a general and strict fast day, that is, meat and milk :het are prohibited. In the ;preamble to the edict is the following Lassa ge:— " The spirit of vertigo and revolt daily makes new progress, even auiong.the better-informed classes. Errors which lately lay con cealed in a corner of the earth, and scarcely ventured front their Iddiog-place, clandestinely to bite the foot of the pure Bride of the immaculate Lamb, now combine together, with daring and unheard of insolence—now threaten her with total destructien, if it were possible that the gates of hell could prevail against her." This passage is the more important, because we must, at all events, ask" whence then is the Church (by this is to be understood the Bride of the Lamb) threatened with destruction?" It must surely be from within her own bosom, for no danger threatens her from Protestantism (which manifests, on its side, the same fears), and still less from other religious parties. TRIESTE.

CIIILIAN MINING ASSOCIATION. A Meeting of the Shareholders of the Mit.iog Alocteias Lion waseoovened yesterday at the City of I,ordon Tavern, for the purpose of considering the propriety of dissolving the Company. At one o'clock (the hnur appointed for holding the Meetsegt the Directors appeared. and 31r. CHARLES II ERR! NG took she Chair. After casting his eye resit.tl the room, -the (linkman observed. that to constitute a Meeting of the Proprieary. thirty Shareholders must be present, and as so many were not in attendance, it would be necessary to wait their arrival before any proceedings were gune into. ....... Alter • few minutes' interval the required number of Share hoidens being in attendance. the Chairman rose a nd commenced by stating that a General Meeting was held on the 27th of September last, and as it then appealed that the Proprietors were unwilling to make a further advance of Of. on each share, the Directors found it was impossible to go en. (The Chairman here read the Resolu tions of the last General Meeting.) Ile acid, that in cons-quence of these Resolutions the Directors Palled an Extraordinary of their own body, on the ellth of September, and came in a resolu tion to the effect, that as it appeared evident that the Proprietors were unwilling to advance further capital, the mining operations could not be carried on with succesm and an Emmet/inner General Meeting should be called, to recommend that a resolution he passed dissolving the Association. A circular leteer, containing the above Resolution, was addressed to the Proprietern and in I-on set:ponce they were assembled this day. If any Shareholder had any inquiry or any observation to make, he should listen to him with pleasure, and before sitting dowh should reed the Resolution which the Directors agreed to submit to the Meeting. The Hero lution was, •• That this Association be dissolved," and he begged to inquire, whether any gentleman seconded it. A lerrenettoimelt, whose name we could not learn, said, that as a Shareholder. he believed it was quite competent for him to second the Resolution. which he ilkl with pleasure, becruet he conceived these was no prospect of success in carrying on the ob jects of the Association. The CHAIRMAN inquired if any gentleman present wished to make any observation before he put the Resolution which had been proposed and seconded. 111 r. 11. CAZ EMOTE said, that as the resolution had been se conded he would take the liberty of making • few obsegrafilens. He rehreseetigl a %lumber of Shereholcleis in thiiillekelfig, who held shares to a large amount, and were resident in a distant coon try. lie thought it reasonable that those Shateliclders should know the causes which led to the dissolution of the Association, and that It did nut arise from mismanagement or inattention on the part of the Directors. This was perticularly desirable, as the persons represented had placed great confidence in the Directore.— It was touch to be desired, there're, that they should be infartned that the dissolution did not take place From any want of confidence in the Directors, but from a chehge in the (minion', of persons here, as to the expediency of carreing on the operations of the Association, and from the different state of things which now existed 111 this country. He thought that the ostensible cause of the dissolution of the Company should be made known in some way, either by inserting it in the minutes of the A -aciation, or through the medium Oche public press. It should be generally known that it was in consequence of the alteration in the circutn. stances of the country, which made the Proprietors unwilling to embark a further capital at present. although there was no doubt that they would have been willing to entherk a much larger capital at a former period. At the period he alluded to, if the MO. Mores were reduced to 2111. to be paid at the moment, he bad no doubt that the sum would have been readily paid up. Now, how ever, such was the change which bad taken place in the affairs of the country, that 10f. per share could not be collected. This diffi culty arose front tits reluctance which prevail«l to risk capital in 3liniaig speculations, and not from any doubt which was enter tained of the final success of the undertaking. The CHAIRMAN said, that if the Proprietors went on paying their shares, the Directors would have given their time and trouble gratuitously, to promote the undertt king ; but as the Shareholders withheld the supplies, the Directors felt they could not have gone on without great personal risk and responsibility. He thought the resolution of the Directors might be embodied in the rmolu. lion now submitted to. the Proprie:ors, which would include all that lir. Caret:nye desired. Mr. CAZENOVE said he took it for grunted, that if the Directors had the capital they might go on with success. He tinderetsoel they hid never intended to call for t he full amount of the nominal capital, which ass one nu Ilion, nor even for hall the t ominal capital; their call was very moderire, it was only for one-fifth of the capitet ; hum, as even this small snot could not be collected, it was found impossible to carry on the mining operations, and the Association must fall to the ground. The CHAIRMAN said the Directors had taken an opportunity of consulting their brother Directors in Comical, who, front their local knowledge, were better able to give an opinion; and their opinion was, that withr.ut 100,0001. it was impossible to carry on the operations which the Company had contemplated. • To raise this sum, it was necessary that Pa. a share should be advanced besides the advance nlreede mode. Ale. CAzENovE—Wril, that bears out my observations. The CHAlRMAN—Cerulinly. Mr. STURT said, if he under:tonna rightly, it was not money alone which occasioned the failure of the Company. The money. notwithstanding the alteration in the circumstances of the country. might still be raised. hut the prospects of the Association had fallen. It was found that they could not effect all that had been originally contemplated. le appeared by the reports, that nut only money but Miners were wanted in time mines. A Sueneitoenet said he had understood, from the reports submitted by the Directors, that in Chili the geld and silver mines had failed, but that the copper mines were prosperous, and that a considerable quantity of copper had been already extracted tient them. which, he presumed, would be available. The CiterelleeN--Of course, the copper ore which has been ex. tract's' will be turned to the advantage of the Company, but we have not received advice' what quantity or topper the ore pro duced; we have only been informed that the Agents of the Com pany are in possession of a certain quantity of copper ore. The Directors were informed that the quanti y of gold which the m in es were likely to produce was too small to allbrd any reasonable pro spect that the gold mines could be waked with success. There was no intimation of this kind, however. with respect to the silver mines ; and as to the copper mines, they were described as likely to produce more than any other copper mines in the world. Me. J. Ceze Nov e, jun. staid, the question was merely whether the Proprietors would advance a further capital or not ? As to the copper ore which was ertracted, it was reported to be very va luable, but it could net be smelted without furnaces more power ful than any they had in Chili. As to what had been observed by another Shareholder, he thought it proper to state, that it was never the intention of the Directors to go beyond ten per cent. on the capital and, considering the en:hied:eon which prevailed at that time a ith respect to mining speculations, he thought the Directors were entitled to sonic credit for having made arrangements which did not call for any larger advance of capital. A SHAREHOLDER said he had seconded the Resolution for die solving the Association, under the Mime:elm' that there was no chance of carrying on its operations successfully; but if there was a prospect of carrying on even minor . operations in Chili with advan tage, he should having seco nded any such Resolution. Mr. STVRT inquired whether Captain Thomas had nut stated that 400 miner+ were necessary to carry on the business with ;my chance of success? A Mar cro a said, that Captain Thomas had tasted that it was desirable :AO miners should be employed at one station, where not more than half that number could be procured. Mr. CAZENOVE said, that in general observation, and in the public press, all the Companies which had tailed in their operations were mixed up together, without any consideration of their particu lar rircuenstances; and the Directors wire set down a+ persons who had taken care of themselves, withomtt any consideration fur the Interest of the general body of Shareheidere. Now hie object was, that in the prevent instance it shualtl not go abroad that the Direc tors had served their private purperess, or that the speculation had faired tlimugh their mismanagement. 111 r. Sr unT observed, that a vote of thanks had been passed to the Directors at the last eieeeral Meeting and that vote, and the manner in which it was passed, afforded sufficient evidence that the failure of the scheme yes nut attributed to any mismanagement on time rare of the Directors. 31r. Davin UARCLAY thought the Directors had every reason to feel gratified with the manner in which they had keen received, both at this General 3leeting and at time last. For his own part, as well as on behalf of those with whom he had the honour of acting. he gratenlly scknowledeed the motive* which dictated the sugges tions of 31r. Cosenove. As that gentlemen had referred to what ap peared in the public print+, he would make a few observations woich he had not intended to make. 'flue attacks made on time Directors, in the newspersere, were anonymous, therefore unmanly, and, in his opinion, unworthy of 'serious refutation. Nevertheless, lie would say, that no board of Directors could have acted more disinterestedly than did the Directors who conducted the ',theirs of this Association. They had no reinitneraion for their services, and they did not. as was Insinuated, make a market of their shares, but held to them manfully to the present moment, and were in the same unfortunate predicament as every other Shareholder. Upon the signing of the deed the Director.' eigned for 2,235 shares, and they were now in possession of 2,113 shares, remaking • difference of only 12m1 Ames, which was all the Direeturs could have sold since the signing of Cie deed. Ile thought this was a sufficient answer to the attack which had been mode through the medium of the public press. Many Shareholders answered, "Surely. surely.' The CUAIRMAN then put the following amended Resolution, which he expressed a hope would satisfy all parties:— " Resolved, That this Association be dissolved. pursuant to the recommendation of the Direetere, made in consequence of the Pro prietors being unwilling to advance any wore capital." Mr.STI:ItT thought it should be added, " and in consequence of the want of miners." The Cues it II AN then declared that the amended Resolution had been carried unanimously. Mr.CAZENOVE said he understood it was necessary that another General Meeting eboutil be called to concur in the Resolution just passed. lie hoped this Meeting would be p ost p oned untilas late a • ' order to give an opportunity to foreign •^•••hey thought tit, which he did ought to be allowed the the met distant period his would bt foliad suf. view. meld ro: adjourn withoot Directors for their dials.

THE MU RDE, On Saturday night, at the conclusion of the Iriqueat that Mot place at the Bell public-house, Fetchar., on the bellies ads in fortunate individuals alio were murdered on Thteryday night last, Mr. 1141, the chief coiroable. and Pulite, the Acre, set out Pr tows. On their road home, iu pie.sing through - the village of Merton. near Tooting, they were informed by the landlord of the r l i e la y tap .rootbmorning about ten o'clock. 3 14.- and rafted for a pint of Bells public-house, that a man dres.cil in a :amiaa jacket and troop pestrnan i g ia er d t e ;,o ili k ed hi t s he s r em there on F t porter. There were several labouring men there at.the time, al! of Whom were Conversing on the subject of the murder that had been committed the previous night at retchorn. The pint co ' porter having been served to the crianger, on putting it to his lip and drinking out of it, the landlord. as well as two or three ethca in the room, oh-erved that there were spots of blood on the wrist. band of his shirt. The eirturnatance escheat some surprise at the time, and on more close observation, there were aka spots of blood seen on the frost part of his shirt. The matt appeared t;. be in a hurry, and having tirdshed his beer, he left the house, and proceeded on the road towards London. Mr. Hall, on brerimc these particulars. expressed considereble surprise that he was tot detainad, in consequence of the very suspicious circumstances under which he entered the house ; but the landlord said. that only having just heard of a report of a murder having been cow mitred, and rot certain as to the truth of it, he took no further notice, but allowed the man to depart. When Mr. Hall arrived in t7;wn, he communicated the above facts to fir smith, an wire officer, who bad immediate is.. emetic:ins to proceed in search of this person. Ormanith was suc cessful in his Inquiries, and apprehended s young man in the parish of Bermondsey, precisely answering the description of the suspected person, who was brought up to Union.hall Police-office yesterday morning, and underwent nn examination before N.J. CLAMBERS. Esq. theasmkh stated that the prisoner's name to John Corner, and that on Sunday night, in tl.e course of his inqui•ies, be ascertaincd that the person whom he wants! was seen in a low public-house in Kent-street. late on Friday night, and that be had every appear. once of having just come out of the country. The officer followed up the 'climb, and at length took the prisoner ism custody at a public-house in Bernannescy, In the tap-room of which, it ap peated,ite had been very rotennianienviver to the sompany an the subject of t h e murders. Garisamith immediately commenced an examiration of Isis clothes, anti on looking at his shirt he observed a large spot of what he was convinced was blood an the bosom of • it. He questioned Corney as to the cause, when the latter replied that it was caused by some port wine splashing upon it while in the act of drawing the cork out of the bottle. The, shirt was here produced before the Magistratit, and the spot of blood alluded to was perzeptible. Mr. CHAMBERS then proceeded to put the following questions to Curley : IV hat are you am a labourer, Sir ' and have worked some time in the employment of Captain D!'erarel. of Lock's.delds. Have you been in tire country lately ?—Yes, Sir, I hree beers down in surrey. What part of Surrey ?—Near Lestherhead. , How long had ydu bun there?—wince the commencement 01 , Leatherhead fair.

At what hour did you rise to the morning ?-...1 ahculd think about seeen o'clock. _ And what, did you do on getting up cleaned the pMs ; and while standing at the door of the Biting Sun, about ten O'clock. on the Friday, a gentleman. 1 think his Ilat.iP was Gibbs, told some persons in my hearing rbat it shocking tun;Jer had been committed the previous night at Feteltatn. What did you do afterwards, for you must be particular in giving me a very minute account of your time up to your arrival in town ?-1 ant not afraid to state every thing that I know, Sir. said Come;; and after I bad done cleanieg up my pots, as Alt. Bruce did not want me any longer, he paid me for my services, and I left and came up :o town. Did you call at the Bells public-house, Merton, on your way to town I—Yes, I did Sir, and had a pint of porter there, anti left the house immediately after drinking It, as I was ia a hurry to get into London. Mr. CliA InlEit s—There appears to be a spot of Llootl on the breast of your thin; how do you account for that ?—lt is not blood, Sir ; it is thestain of port wine, that spleshed out upon me while I was drawing the cork of a bottle of wine at the Ris ing Sae. The :Magistrate, altimirgit persuaded that the mark was caused by blood, directed Drosamith to take the shirt into the Infirmary next door, and have the opinion of the medical men as to whether it was produced by blood, or by wire, as had been asserted. On the officer's return he tole the Maeisteate that it was the opinion of the surgeon that it was a setin of Word, and that it presented an appeararce of baying been very touch tuebed, in (rider to obliterate the mark. At this stage of the investigation a messenger arrived from Fetchom with a letter from the Rev. Mr. Bollard, who, together with the other gentlemen resident io the Immediate neighbourhood where the murders were perpetrated, have been indefatigable :n their exertions co obtain tome clue to the discovery of the perpe trators. Time Leer was addressed to J. S. Caldwell, Esq. milt* Magistrate then presiding at the (Ace ; and from the contents, which will he seen below, it will be evident to our reader:. that in the article which followed the Inquest on the bodies of the victims, and which appeared In the British Pressof yes•erday, there werea:rong grounds fur suspecting that some branch of the unfoitunate de ceased's family were the perpetrators of the murders. The letter Was as 1011011111.--• " Pctcham, Ortober 16. " Sir,-1 have evidesm of the best description that a grand. daughter ache old mite Intudtred at Fete:ism was at Learherhead. in the fair-hoods, on W.-thwkdav and Thursday last, and that she was then in company with two young fellows. Indeed I have also reason to believe that she was seen travelling with these companions on the road from Leatherhead to Esher, within three mites of the spot where the deed was done. at half-past ten o'clock on Friday morning—the murder then hiving been pretty publicly known foie three hours. • William Smith saw Mary Ayres (the grand. daughter) at Leatheihead fair, en Thursday morning, about eight o'clock.
