Since the publication of the Prospectus t of the European Company for Boat-building by Machinery (Limited), an er roneous impression has prevailed that that Company con templated building boats under the nine foreign Patents (France, Austria, Belgium, Sweden, Holland, Denmark, Sar- Nat haa, Spain, and India), conditionally purchased from Mr. n Thompson. One condition of that purchase was, that the Directors agreed to make a large cash payment to Mr. Thompson, thereby rendering a considerable amount of capital necessary. Mr. Thompson having now consented to leave his interests entirely in the hands of the Directors of the present Com pany, a large capital will not be required. It has therefore been resolved th at the ca• ital shall be Fifty Thousand Pounds, in shares of £1 each of which Forty Thousand shall be allotted t o th e public, and Ten Thousand to Mr. Thomp son. Upon these last-named shares (considered as fully paid-up) no d i vidends will be payable until a profit of at least 10 per cent. shall, have been declared on the ordinary shares of the Company. Mr. hompson's faith in the great importance and pecuni ary value of his inventions together with his willingness to accept such a present payment as the Directors may consider reasonable, have induced him to leave his interest mainly to depend on the future permanent revenue. As it is of impor tance that negotiations now in progress with a view to a sale of more than one of the patents be proceeded with immedi ely, the Directors propose in a few days to allot the shares. In the meantime applications for shares, in the form RP- Rnded hereto, inay he forwarded, with 2s. Bd. per share on e the number of shares applied for. Should no allotmentab berdthe Deposit will be returned in full and if a less num be all otted the excess of deposit received will be credited account of 2s. 6d. payable on allotment.

Betting-3 to 1 each agst Stanton and Conundrum, sto 1 agst Sycophant, 6 to 1 agst Fitz Eva, 8 to 1 agst Wild Duck, and 10 to 1 agst any other. Sycophant was the first off, but after running a few strides he was pulled back and the lead was taken by Wild Duck, who was closely followed by Dulcet, Overton, Fitz Eva, and S), cophant, the others lying close up, whipped in by Stanton and Boabdil, in which way they ran past the Stand and over the hill ; but on reaching the bottom Syco phant took the third place, Overton going on fourth, and Boabdil and South Australian next. Proceeding along the far aide Wild Duck increased her lead, closely attended by Overton, Sycophant, Boabdil, Fitz Eva, Conundrum, and South Australian, the lot running in a body to the lower turn, where Wild Duck was boaten and disappeared from the front, leaving Sycophant, Boabdil, South Australian, and Conundrum in advance. But shortly after Fordham, in attempting to go up on the inside, was prevented by Sy him, and hA had to pull his horse backward and come round on the out side. This contretemps gave Sycophant a slight lead, who was followed by South Australian, Boabdil, Dulcet, and Conundrum, to the distance, where Dulcet cried content and was passed by Mr. Saville's colt, who got to Sycophant's quarters at the Stand, but was never enabled to quite get up, and was beaten cleverly by half a length ; three lengths separating the second and third ; a neck between third and fourth ; Springbok was fifth, Fitz Eva sixth, and Overton next, Wild Duck and Stanton being the last two. On re turning to scale Fordham lodged a complaint against the rider of Sycophant for having closed upon him, and thereby prevented him getting up ; and Woodhouse also made an objection against the rider of the same horse for having struck South Australian across the head, and thereby ma terially affected his chance of winning. The case was heard by the Earl of Sefton and Mr.,Alexander, who acted for Lord Strathmore, and, after hearing evidence thereon, they decided in favour of Sycophant.

Soapstone cut out the work at a good pace, followed by Vindicta next the rails and the Frenchman on the outside, the others lying up. On reaching the stand Vindicta came with a rush and got to Soapstone's quarters, but shortly after dropped back and was beaten cleverly by a length ; a bad third, the others beaten off some distance.

Saggittarius, in company with The Priest and Dunoon, made the running to the stand inclosure, where Mr. Hodg man's horse was joined by The Priest, the pair finishing a fine race home, Saggittarius just winning at last by a head ; a bad third, Alba was fourth; the favourite was last throughout. On returning to scale Mr. Nightingall made an objection to the winner for having carried over weight, which re mains for decision of the Stewards this day. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE RACES—WEDNESDAY.

The poet and the composer had the many-sidedness of genius. They could be gay as well as grand. The majesty of their strength had also its sweetness. They could paint the weakness of men as well as the might of angels. They could pass with stately ease from the loftiest to the lowest themes. They could transform the man into the noble, and invest the phantoms of mythology with the living reality of fact. Both wrought also with the same materials. Handel has followed closely upon the track of Mil ton, and of Milton's next in succession—Dryden. " Samson Agonistes," " L'Allegro," " II Penseroso," " Alexander's Feast," and " St. Cecilia's Day," have furnished to the composer subjects that are to his great topic as the sonnet to the epic, or the masque to the sacred drama. And how admirably he has treated them—with what a mastery of melo dious expression, what wealth of musical imagery, what far-reaching gradation of feeling Handel has endowed immortal though not the most high-sound ing verse—might well be judged by those who listened yesterday to seleotions from the works we have indicated. Whether considered in relation to the intrinsic excellence of the pieces therein con tained, or to its capability of representing the genius of Handel in every varying mood, we believe a selection reflecting more credit upon the judgment of those who had the power of choice in the matter could not by possibility have been effected than the superb miscellany given yesterday, and performed in a manner, upon the whole, so perfect, that in pointing out special, successes we run into some danger of having to enumerate the entire pro gramme as it stands. The two choruses from the " Dettingen Te Deum," with which the performances commenced, were very well sung; but grand as they are, must yield in interest to the less known selections from " Samson" and "Solomon," which were one and all even more successful than we had ventured to hope. The beautiful air, " Return, 0 Lord of Hosts," was sang by Madame Dolby, if possible better than on Saturday, and when followed by the chorus, "To dust His glory," produced an effect of which the pathetic solemnity could hardly have been en hanced. Mdlle. Titiens was again magnificent in " Let the bright seraphim," which, with its exqui site trumpet obligato, always so perfectly played by Mr. Harper, was at the centenary festival, and is now under the treatment of the present queen of sopranos, one of the most effective airs that can be given in the Crystal Palace. " Honour and arms," oir algn from " Samson," was given by Signor Belletti with all the artistic finish that invariably distinguishes his singing, and only wanted the infu sion of a little more energy to become in all respects a perfect performance. The same may be said of his delivery of the fine song " Revenge, Timotheus cries," from " Alexander's Feast," which embodied everything but the fire necessary to the correct exposition of the words. The selections from ' Judas Maccabeus" were each and all eminently successful. Mr. Sims Reeves, in singing " Sound an alarm," made one more of those incomparable efforts which separate him by an impassable gulf from all other English artists, however gifted in their several degrees, and by his delivery of the last verse absolutely electrified the audience, who com menced the usual signals for a repetition ; but Mr. Costa wisely led on with the answering chorus so promptly, that the demand for what we are sure Mr. Reeves was too judicious to have accorded had no time to extend into clamour. Then came the " Envy" chorus from " Saul," very well given, and, as in 1859, very warmly received ; and next the "Dead March" from the same oratorio, in which was heard an orchestral performance that for deep expression and the utterance of reverent solemnity has only been equalled by the execution of the same work at the centenary celebration. Mdlle. Titiens almost surpassed herself in the solo verses of the chorus from Dry den's " Ode on St. Celicia's Day." The purity of tone and majestic eloquence with which she sang forth the lines, "As from the power of sacred lays," baffle all expressions of eulogy in describing her glorious effort to those who had not the rare pleasure of hearing it. We can but protest that it was sublime, and therefore indescribable. The choir were net back ward in seconding her grand example, but put forth their full energies towards the complete and just render ing of this both verbally and musically magnificent composition. Much as we dislike encores, we were glad to see such a tribute paid to the fascinating chorus from " Solomon," " May no rash intruder." which, both on account of its irresistible beauty and because of the infinite care which we know to have been bestowed upon it, well merited the usual signs of more than ordinary commendation. The poetic and alluring " Music spread" (we don't allude of course to the wretched words) was also given with considerable effect, and was, in every sense, a more complete interpretation of the composer's idea than we had anticipated from an orchestra whose num bers seem more qualified for strength than delicacy of utterance. Certainly the problem was here satis factorily solved whether or no a choir of three thousand voices can sing the most elaborate and re fined choral passages with the same clearness and elegance that is achieved by smaller companies. Madame Lemmens-Sherrington's " Hush, ye pretty warbling choir," and Mr. Sims Reeves's "Love in her eyes," from " Acis and Galatea," were each beautifully sung; and the dramatic chorus,"Wretched lovers," was, as on Saturday, very finely performed. Mr. Weiss did capital service in the solo verse of the lively chorus from " L'Allegro," " Haste thee, nymph," and made us regret that his share in the day's performance was limited to this single air. The third part commenced with the overture to " Samson," a grand work, which we hope to see be • come better known than it is ; and was succeeded by the double chorus from "Deborah," "Immortal Lord of earth and skies. This, and the chorus, "From the censer," from " Solomon," are among the pieces in which the powers of a stupendous orchestra are tested to the best advantage. Nothing could be finer than the effect producedby the alternate repe tition of the words " Happy, happy Solomon" from opposite sides of the platform, or the similarly given responses in " Shake the dome," from the same work. Mdlle. Titiens's delightful singing in the air from "Joshua," "O had I Jubal's lyre," termi nated the solo performances; and the triumphal chorus " Sec the conquering hexo" formed the con clusion to one of the grandest days ever known in the Crystal Palace, or any other place dedicated to musical performances. The attendance yesterday amounted to 14,143. Among the distinguished visitors were—the Duchess of Roxburghe, Earl Ward, the Earl of Wilton, the Earl and Countess of Powis, the Countess Sefton, the Bishop of Bangor, the Dean of Worcester, Sen hor Carvalho, Lord Ovsrstone, Lord North, Lord Broughton, Lord Portman, Lord Eversficld, Lord and Lady F. Egerton, Lord and Lady Lyndhurst, Lady Beresford Hope, Lady Pollock, Baron and Lady Goldsmid, Sir George Smart, Sir John Har rington, General Scott, Colonel Baring, Mr. Lush, Q.C., &c. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess and the Princess Mary of Cambridge have intimated their intention of being present on Friday, the last day of this festival, when Handers great master piece, " Israel in Egypt," will be performed. Many representations have been made to the directors respecting the desirability of adding another day's performance to this great celebration,; but the im practicability of obtaining an extended leave of absence for the provincial vocalists, and the numer ous professional engagements of the instrumental portion of the orchestra, render this impossible. The festival, therefore, must close to-morrow. NORTH A. .111E1?ICA The subjoined relates to the remarks inserted yesterday in illustration of the question as to the right or othei wise of the Southern States of Ame rica to terminate their partnership with the Nor thern States : " 63, King William-street, E.C., June 25. " Sir,—The illustration, in a mercantile form, of the points at issue between the Northern and Southern States of America, given in your Money- Marketof eight partners, and City Article of this day , comp arin g those States to a firm composed whose articles of partnership do not contain an y limit of time, or any provision for dissolution , is undoubtedly a correct comparison as far as it goes ; but by diving a little into American history, the writer might have made his simile much more full, and his case much stronger, which you will perhaps allow me to do. " He might, and, indeed, he ought to have said, not only that in the articles actually ruling the partnership any limit of time was omitted, but that in the articles of partnership previously existing between the very same parties there was an express proviso, a fundamental clause, saying and repeating over and over again, the partnership shall be per petual,' which proviso or clause of perpetuity the said partners, in -making their new and actually ruling articles (in many points a copy of the previ ous ones), had carefully expunged from those articles, together with everything that could in any way bear on the subject, thus clearly showing that they fully intended each of them to be free to sepa rate from, or at least not to be bound to remain for ever in, the partnership. "In fact, in the ' Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union' between the 13 States of North America, done at Philadelphia on the 9th of July, 1778, ratified by the 13 States on the Ist of March, 1781—which were the Constitution of the United States of North America until the substitution thereto of the actual Constitution on the 17th of September, 1787—the 13th and last article says : 16 6 . The articles of this Confederation shall be inviolably observed by every State, and the onion shall be perpetual ; . . and we, the delegates . . . . . . ratify and confirm each and every of the said articles of Con federation and perpetual Union, . and solemnly plight and engage the faith of our respec tive constituents . . . that the Union shall be perpetual.' " And the second article institutes a Commission to be drawn from the Congress, to hear and finally determine all controversies between two or more States, concerning boundary, jurisdiction, or any other cause whatsoever.' " In the Constitution of the 17th of September, 1787, the actual one, not only is there no allusion to time, duration, or dissolution of the Union, bat,be sides carefully expunging from their new Constitu tution the contents of the 13th article of their old one in respect to perpetuity, the States were so jea lous of remaining unshackled, and free to separate at will, that they did actually expunge also from their new Constitution the Article 2 of their old one —evidently from fear that in case of the secession of one or mare States the remaining ones might, in abuse of their majority, form under the said Article 2 a Court of Commission, and pretend to adjudicate on the case. "To follow the simile of your illustration:— " If the five partners mentioned in it were foolish enough to go into Chancery in order to retain the three seceding ones, against their will, can any im partial and disinterested person doubt for a moment that, on proof being given not aptly of the absence in the articles of partnership of any provision for its duration, hut of the positive and wilful expunc tion from them of a provision for perpetuity con tained in the previous articles between the same parties, the Court would not even grant prolonga tion for one day of the partnership, but would simply fix a delay for the distribution and appor tionment of the assets and liabilities. " I think you might complete the said illustra ion by inserting this, on an important point which as not yet been touched or even alluded to by any one. " I have the honour to be, sir, your most obedien servant, "A. P." THE CO.RONERSHIP OF CENTRAL MIDDLESEX. The Sheriffs of London and Middlesex met yes terday, and have convened a meeting of the candi dates for Friday, when the election will be fixed. The nomination day is expected to be Friday, the 4th of July, and the polling on the following Mon day. It appears that the writ was only issued from the Petty Bag-office in Chancery on Tuesday, not having been applied for before, and when applica tion is made for the writ for the western district it will be forthwith granted. The fiat of the Lord Chancellor was dated on the 18th of June, and the writ de Coronatore eligendo was signed by the Clerk of the Crown in Chancery. There are three candidates for the coronership of central Middlesex, and the election will test the opinion of the free holders of the district, as only freeholders of the district are eligible to vote, whether the appoint ment should be given to a legal or medical man. Dr. Lancester, Mr. C. E. Lewis, and Mr. Cameron are candidates for the central district. In the event of a poll being demanded it will be confined to one day—from 8 to 4 o'clock—being the first election since the act of 1860 (the 23d and 24th of Vic., cap- . 116). The nomination will take p lace at Mseryape. bone and polling booths at othe r places can b pointed. According to the 16 t h section of the 7th and Bth Vic„ cap. 92, all reasonable costs charges, nd, or be and expenses which the sheriffs may bex liable to, in andabout pr oviding of po oo p ks, booths, and clerks (such clerks ton e paid not more than one gu i ne a a-day) for the ppose of taking the poll, are to be borne and paid by the several candidates in equal proportions. The central district is bounded on the north by Hertfordshire, on the east by the parishes of Enfield, Edmonton, Tottenham, and Stoke Newington, on the south by the cityand on the of Lon don and the liberty of Westminster, w est by th e parishes of Kensington, Willesden, Kingsbury, Edgware, and Little Stanmore. The Middlesex magistrates are to meet on Friday, to fix the amount of salary to be paid to each of the new coroners to be appointed. The late Mr. Wakley had £l,BOO a-year, out of which he had to pay a deputy and all his expenses. Air. Humphreys, to whom has lately been assigned the eastern district, has a salary of £1,500 a -year, and has to pay his expenses. The Middlesex magistrates, in their petition to her Majesty on which the division was made, stated that the salary of £l,BOO paid to the coroner of the western district was " sufficient to remunerate two coroners," and a question may arise as to the expenses of each coroner in travelling over a long district. The western district is bounded on the north by Hertfordshire ; on the east by the parishes of Hendon, Hampstead, Paddington, and the city and liberty of Westminster, and on the south by the Thames, and on the west by the river Colne. There are four candidates for the western district—two medical and two legal gentlemen, so the question will be raised in each district whether a legal or medical man shonld be appointed. HANDEL'S Music.—As to the merits of the music of H andel, there is no doubt that he is first and fore most among the professors of the divine art. Others have excelled in special compositions, but ho, having at a com paratively early period of his life achieved pre-eminence in opera, struck out for himself a new c ourse ; for his oratorios, though suggested by previous works, must be ac k no wledged to be the cre a ti on s of an orig inal genius with which the works of former composers will bear no more compar:son than the steam toy of Hero of Alexandria with the beautiful anti powerful engines of modern machinists, aociety. 7HE NAVY. A seaman belonging to her Majesty's ship Excel lent was unfortunately killed by the fall of a gun, in the process of dismounting, by a shore party at drill on Rat Island, in Portsmouth harbour on Tuesday. The Eagle training frigate, in tow of the Geyser paddle-sloop, left Spithead at 3 p.m. yesterday, for Liverpool. Mr. Thomas Paruther Butler and James Ogle Burgess have been nominated to naval cadetships. THE ARMY. The Royal Marine Artillery, at Portsmouth, under the command of Col. Tate, were yesterday officially inspected, on Southsea-common, by Major- General Lord W. Paulet, C.B. His Lordship will inspect the Royal Marine Light Infantry of the Portsmouth division to-day, at 3 p.m., on Haslar- common. The following reinforcements, selected from vari ous cavalry and infantry regiments, have been placed under orders to embark for India to augment the various corps serving in the Bengal Presi dency, orders to that effect having been received at Chatham garrison :-26 officers and 1,933 non commissioned officers and men of the Royal Artillery, selected from the three divisions of the depot brigade at Sheerness, Woolwich, and Wor ley ; 1 officer and 18 men of the Ist battalion 29th Regiment, and 21 men of the 77th Regiment, from Chatham ; 4 men of the 7th (Queen's Own) Hussars, from Maidstone; 10 men of the Bth (Royal Irish) Hussars, from Canterbury ; 1 officer and 33 non commissioned officers and men of the 34th Regi ment ; 1 officer and eel men of all ranks of the 54th Regiment ; 1 officer and 44 men of the 88th Con naught Rangers, and 6 men of the 97th (Earl of Ulster's) Regiment, from Colchester ; 1 officer and 29 men of the 3d battalion Rifle Brigade, from Winchester ; 6 men of the 82d Regiment, from Canterbury; 1 officer and 44 men of the 42d Royal Highlanders, and 1 officer and 31 men of the 79th Highlanders, from Stirling ; 2 officers and 77 non commissioned officers and privates of the 27th En niskillens, and 1 officer and 33 men of the 48th Regiment, from Cork ; and 2 officers and 32 men of the 80th Regiment, from Buttevant. The whole of the above detachments will embark at Gravesend, for Calcutta, as soon ad the necessary amount of tonnage has been taken up for them by the Council of India. In addition to the above, the following reinforcements will embark for Bombay—viz., 842 non-commissioned officers and privates, belonging to the 3d (Prince of Wales's) Dragoon Guards, Royal Artillery, 28th Regiment, 33d (Duke of Welling ton's) Regiment, 44th Regiment, 56th Regiment, 72d Highlanders, 95th Regiment, and 103 d Royal Bombay Fusiliers. Detachments to the number of 752 men of all ranks, with 20 officers, selected from the 17th Lancers, Royal Artillery, Ist battalion Ist Royals, Ist battalion 18th Royal Irish, 3d battalion 60th Rifles, 66th Regiment, 69th Regiment, 74th Highlanders, and 91st Regiment, will also embark for Madras, and 8 officers and 216 non-commis sioned officers and men of the 7th (Princess Royal's) Dragoon Guards, Ist battalion 4th King's Own, Ist battalion 19th Regiment, 51st King's Own Light Infantry, and 71st Highland Light Infantry, for Kurrachee. The total number of reinforcements about to be despatched to India exceeds 4,000 men of all ranks, with 95 officers. Inspector-Generkl A. Anderson, M.D., has been appointed principal medical officer at Chatham gar rison, in succession to Deputy-Inspector-General P. Gammie, who has been ordered to embark for India. Inspector-General Anderson will commence his duties on Saturday next. . THE DISASTER AT THE UNDERGROUND _RAILWAY. The district surveyor of the Board of Works, with Mr. Fryer, clerk of the works, made two ex aminations of the southern portion of the Fleet Sewer yesterday—the first at 2 a.m., and the second at 12 at noon. The portion examined was that part lying between Vine-street and West-street, at which point the large bell mouth of the sewer is situated. The report made by those gentlemen is that a most extensive fracture has taken place in the crown of the sewer arch, and extending for about 300 yards in length, with every symptom of a still further extension. Should this occur, it is considered probable that the railway works now going on in that part will have to be suspended, pending the repair or reconstruction of the sewer. Mr. Cooper having consulted with Mr. Dethick, the contractor for the sewer work, it was pronounced unsafe to allow any sewage water to pass along the fractured portion, and Mr. Dethick at once opened the dam, which diverted the water from the railway cutting into the new trench, along which it had been flowing freely since Tuesday, and the water is now again pouring with great force into the rail way cutting. The timber bed of that portion of the trench or " grip" completed on Saturday was then taken up for the purpose of sinking the bed of the trench at least six feet lower, to be on a level with the invert of the old sewer. The new " grip" is also being rapidly pushed forward, and will now have to be carried under Castle-street, as the re admission of the water into the sewer after its in tended diversion at Coppice-row cannot, owing to the fracture, be permitted at any nearer point. It is now feared that the entire reconstruction of the whole length of sewer between Coppice-row and West-street, where the railway terminates, will become necessary to ensure its safety. Should this unfortunately be the case several months' daesltahye will take place in the opening of the railway, works at this point must rema in sus p ended until the sewer is completed. immediate the The ground surrounding neigh bourhood of the late accid ent is gettingtienefinto awvateerry dangerous state, throug h the ac , the New River Company to remove their main pipe railway,utimbers, were and several labourers were yesterday employed by the fallen labour a bo the lying across the ruinisngof employed in removing ordered to desist from their a to nd p accident. --------_-- ---------_ THE GREAT MONT CENIS TUNNEL.—By the terms letohnrcavength just l‘ ion iontC cnoniscliusdteo b© dthedeefxrpa3,evneaseproofptehre great . ii onate l y by the French and Italian Governments and the tunnel of nn a e Victor Emmanuel Railway Company.

(From the _Dublin Freeman) Halloran has been acquitted, and thus another illustration has been given of the noble system of jurisprudence we have the happiness to enjoy, under which men are not afraid to extend impar tial justice to the accused whether the evidence proves them innocent or guilty. The time was when to be accused of an agrarian crime was to. he condemned, and when a Special Commission was popularly known as " the hanging assize." The Crown, more anxious to display the power of the executive than to secure justice, more desirous to strike terror than to inspire confidence in the ad ministration of the law, was wont in former times to appeal to the passions of jurors rather than to their reason, and the result was that under the coer cive influence which such harangues exercised, and the bodily terror which they excited, jurors felt that life and Property would not be secure if they allowed doubt or hesitancy as to the completeness of the evidence to interpose between the accused and the gallows. A more humane and more just system prevails in this our day. The Crown, re presented by our present popular Viceroy, aims at justice, not terrorism ; and the Attorney -Gene ral of our day does not seek to stimulate the vengeful passions of the juror class by appeals to their passion or their feelings, or by elaborate disquisitions on the consequences that must follow if victims be not offered up to the cravings of offended law. The judges, too, are now rather the advocates of the accused than the public prosecutors, whose conduct on the bench was wont to outrage decency and disgrace justice in the days of our fathers. Never was there a more striking in stance of this healthful charge than we have had in the results of the Special Commission now sitting for the counties of Limerick and Tipperary. Four trials have taken place. The same judges presided —the same prosecutors acted for the Crown—the same class—the gentry class—supplied the jurors, and the result has been two convictions and two acquittals. All of these verdicts public opinion approves. The guilt of the concicted was as apparent to all who read the evidence as it was to those who prepared the indictments, and wo may say with equal confidence that there is not one who carefully studied the evidence in the other cases who does not feel that were he himself in the jury-box he would not have hesitated to being in a verdict of acquit. tal. Some of our contemporaries have adopted a grumbling tone because there were not more con victions. It would be as unconstitutional es it would be unjust and illegal to say broadly that the verdict of acquittal should have been a verdict o f guilty, and therefore there was no open assertion that the verdicts were incorrect. But the discontent at the verdict in Bohan's case was not concealed by those who imagine that there is more of security for life and property to be obtained from the ter- • rorised feelings of the peasantry than from the well-grounded and wide-spread confidence in the - majesty and in the justice of law which a fair trial and an honest verdict cannot fail to impart. Mr. Macdonogh, the able counsel for the acquitted pri soner, stated that it was no part of his client's de fence to impeach the evidence of Colonel Knox in the case of Bohan, further than to impute error as to identity. The Grand Jury believed Colonel Knox was in error as to the identity of one brother, and the jurors who tried the man against whom bills were found, and who were all of the grand juror and magisterial class—many of the jurors being both—unhesitatingly acquitted the accused on the clear and conclusive evidence of the many witnesses who proved—to use the words of Baron Deasy—that he could not be, and, therefore, was not guilty. We have not yet had an opportunity of analysing the evidence offered in defence of Hal loran, the news of whose acquittal reached by tele graph last night The evidence against him was at most only circumstantial; but it was weakly circumstantial, and the manner of the witness utterly failed to inspire confidence in his own conviction of the accuracy of the details to which he swore. There appears, from the length of time during which the jury deliberated, to have been some doubt as to the side to which the weight of evidence leaned; but the very existence of a doubt entitled the prisoner to an acquittal, and that he has received at the hands of twelve gentlemen of the gentry class— twelve Tipperary landlords—who would have just as little difficulty in finding a verdict of guilty if they thought the evidence warranted it. Some remarks of a harsh nature, reflecting on the charac ter of the Irish peasantry, have been made of the fact that " cheers" greeted the verdict which pro nounced Bohan innocent. Have cheers never greeted a verdict in Westminster Hall f Are the English public so insensible to justice and so cal lous to its due and impartial administration amongst themselves that they never indicate the popular endorsement of a verdict by a popular ovation ? The verdict in Tipperary was the verdict of the gentry of the county, and the cheer was the en dorsement by the public of that verdict. Had an ordinary petty jury acquitted the accused, prejudice and party might allege that sympathy with crime had reached the jury box, and exhibited itself in the vex diet. But no such imputation can be made in these cases. On Bohan's jury there were none but members of the grand jury class; there were on it men who acted as magistrates fearlessly and with vigour, and who would do so again either as magis trates or as jurors if the occasion required it, or if the evidence demanded it. These men could h ave no sympathy with crime, and know not what terror means. If the evidence justified it, they Wou l d have no squeamish se ntimentality, no whining f ear to impede stern justice; and we are proud to record the fact —a f ac t full of bright promise f or our future —that a special jury of Tipperary l andlords had the mora l courage to brin g i n two verdicts of acquittal in favour of men accused of agrarian crimes, and tried at a Special Commission. Such a fact indicates a self-reliant feeling in the gentry that places them above suspicion, and cannot fail to inspire the people withrespect for the law, and a conviction that justice will henceforth have free course in Ireland. Let us hope that now that there has been "no parleying • a Special _ (.;om with assassins"—now that Commission has sat and judged—those who are our law makers will try to discover and remove the causes which have led to the fearful crimes which necessitated the issue of this Commis sion, and the perpetrators of which have not yet been brought to justice. THE SUICIDE AT KENNINGTON. Yesterday an inqury was held at the Canterbury Arms Tavern, Royal-road, Kennington, by Mr. W. Carter, coroner for West Surrey, respecting the death of Mr. Philip Colgrove, aged 44, who com mitted suicide on Monday morning last under very distressing circumstances.
