ZION.EY MAREE2' AND CITY BEMS% CITY, Two o'CLocx. During the last few days there has been very little animation in the markets for foreign and colonial produce. Sugars, however, have been in fair demand, and good and fine descriptions realised full rates. The refilled market remained dull• Coffee has been in steady demand, while tea continues inactive, in consequence of the advises from China. O wing to a pres sure of sales currants have been depressed, and prices have shown a downward movement. A steady business has been done in rice, while spices have been in limited request at rather lower rates. For saltpetre there has been a moderate demand at former quotations. At the public sales of drugs the biddings were inactive, and prices went very irre gularly. The tallow market has been quiet, and prices have remained steady for both present and forward delivery. Increased activity prevailed in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were very firm. The sales amounted to £15,000 bales. There were no bullion operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. The Dover Castle has arrived this morning from Melbourne with £228,120 in specie. At a meeting of the Linares Lead Mining Com pany yesterday, a dividend of 6s. Bd. per share was declared. A cal/ of £3 per share, amounting to £225,000, is due to day on the Scinde, Punjaub Railway shares. Notwithstanding the payment of quarterly ac counts, and the impending liquidation of commer cial bills, the demand for money continues so mode rate, that the terms for acccommodation, instead of exhibiting more firmness, still show a downward tendency. At the Bank of England very little business is transacted either in loans or discounts, owing to the low quotations current in the general market. It was notified yesterday afternoon that Messrs. Smith and Co., of the Whitechapel Distillery, had stopped payment; their engagements are stated to be considerable, although the chief proportion of the creditors are secured. Increased heaviness has been apparent in the English Stock Market to-clay, Consols being 93 to 93, for money, and. 93i for the account. Specu lation is dull, but a few sales are effected in conse quence of the general position of affairs on the Continent. India Stock is firm at 218 ; ditto New Loan at 1037- ; ; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper is marked 96 ; ditto 51, per Cent. ditto has receded to 102; ditto Debentures are 96! I. Exchequer Bills are flat at par to 2s. prem. A moderate amount of business has been trans acted in the Foreign Stock market, and prices show no material alteration. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 73f to 74; ditto New, 55i to 56; and the 4 per Cents. are steady at 1011 1 ; Venezuelan have improved to 233-, Portuguese to 431 ; Mexican are heavy at 221; Brazilian 4,1 per Cents. are 87i, and Spanish Passive 221.

GIGANTIC FORGING FOR THE BLACK PRINCE STEAM RAM.--An immense forging, drawn on two huge trucks by a team of about 40 horses, passed through the streets of Glasgow on Tuesday, on its way from' Parkhead Forge to the ship-yard of the Messrs. Napier and Son, at Leven. The fabric was the stern-post and part of the keel intended for the steam-ram Black Prince, now in course of construction at the building-yard of Messrs. Robert Napier and Son. The stern-post, which springs to a height of about 40 feet, was forged apart from the keel-piece, and the two welded together in a novel and powerful manner, by improved mechanical appliances, in the Parkhead Forge of Mr. Rigby. As the wh o l e forging contained upwards of 30 tons of metal, its removal from the forge to the ship-yard wa s necessarily attended with much labour and anxiety. Upwards of five tons we re a dd e d to i ts we i g h t b y t h e woo d a nd iron fixings and lashings requisite to secure its safety, and not fewer than 200 engi neers and carters atten d e d th e marine prodigy in its passag e . Th ey were ably o ffi cered by Mr. Rigby, assisted by Mr. John D. Napier and Mr. from Messrs. Joh9. Penn Ryder,and Son's, engineers, London. Th e forging arrived without any casualty to life or limb near the foot . of Queen-street, where darkness and the loss of a wheel compelled it to be moored for the night. IMPORTATIONS OF WHEAT.—Although the im .r,otwdo,hftithlheeetthaorrotasilevaaorlf; portations of wheat dur i ng . the t past month were double those of the corr espoi a i s d a i g L ea m tr; o s n aar h et ts o i K sip B lsl s 7 9 flour were five times Of wheat the rivals since the Ist of J in the first eight months of 1859 an of . 121 pe r cent. from falling off has been 356,605 cwt., or 10 per cent 1859, and 591,576 quarters, quarters, or 19 per cent., from 1858. Of flour the falling off has been 278, 165 cent , from 1858, L o " from 1859, and 576,763 cwt., ing, however, at the prices lalt9elPyacrurrent, the money of the importations this year has b en considerablyin value ems of that in 1858 and 1859—probeably as much as one 9r , and two or t hree mil two millions sterling over 1859 lions over 1858. Of other description! tgrr thanin ionureitihmer portations in each case have been much li? of the two preceding years. Of barley, in r the eight months ending the 31st ult., the excess was 46 per cen cent. compa r ed er t. with the same period of 1859; of oats, i t was . 62 In of peas, 240 per cent. ;of beans, 4 4 per cent. dof , an p dian corn, 9,3 per cent. The countries whence we have this year derived our supplies range in the follow i ng' Of ntri- Of the total quantity of wheat received Prussia has Russia or— buted 31 per cent., an unusually large proportion' 19 per cent., the United States 15 per cent., DentnaliK b,l3e.r cent., France 54 per cent., Mecklenburg 5 per cent , sTuriceey r and the Principalities 5 per cent., the Hanse Town 31 cent., Egypt 3 per cent., and various other countrie s the remaining . 5 per cent. Our receipts of flour have been almost entirely from France and the United States. Compared with last year the changes observable are chiefly in the relative totals of wheat and flour from the two latter countries. Thus, while America last year sent us scarcely any quantity, she now figures for 15 per cent. of wheat and about 35 per cent. of flour, while France, whence we last year received 35 per cent. of our wheat and more than 96 per cent. of our flour, now figures for only 51 per cent, of the former and 42 per cent. of the latter. As the year draws on the contrast doubtless will be strengthened, and it is highly satisfactory that such may be the case, since just in proportion as we take produce from America she sends us orders for our manufactured goods, while from France the result ist that respect is comparatiyely feeble.

NOVEL POINT AND IMPORTANT DECISION.-VHITE V. 00FF. Plaintiff is an hotel• keeper at Wexford, in Ireland, and defendant a merchant in the city of London, whO had acted in 1852 as agent to the lion. Mr. Nunu in the ele3tion for the county of Wexford in that year. Mr. Millett, for the plaintiff, produced an official docu ment, signed by the clerk of the peace, and emanating as a decree from the Sessions Court holden before the assistant barrister in the county of Wexford, before which tribunal the case had Leen tried, and defendant found to be indebted to the plaintiff in the sum of £5 lls. Sd. for meat, drink, &c. Upon reading the document his Honour remarked that when judgment was obtained in Ireland the bailiffs might at once take the goods of the debtor. That was a much more summary process than that of England. Mr. Moss objected to the document, and contended that it could not be used as evidence here. He, on the part of Mr. Goff, was willing to go into the case. Mr. Millett urged that the judgment had been recovered in 1857, and that defendant had had plenty of opportu nities to set it aside, which ho must do at Wexford. Mr. Moss observed that the bill dated from 1852, and that defendant was not liable. The amount was for re freshments supplied during an election. His Honour, upon referring to the 14 and 15 Vic., cap. 99, held that this was an action upon the judgment of a competent court, and that the document put in was evidence against defendant, who must Pay in ten days with costs. THE RELIGIOUS DISSENSIONS IN ST. GEORGE'S-IN-TILE-EAST. This afternoon, very unfortunately for the somewhat no torious parish of St. George's. in-the-East, the riots which for a year or more have been prevalent there were again brought under the consideration of the magistrate, Mr. Selfe, at the Thames Police-court. Last August the Rev. Bryan King left his parish, in the hope that the very serious differences between himself and his parishioners might be forgotten. It happens, unfortu nately, that the curate in sole charge has been unable to conciliate the rival claims of the parishioners, and that dur ing the last few weeks the rioting which has hitherto dis graced the parish have been revived. In consequence of this rioting, which obtained its climax on last Sunday, a meeting of the inhabitants has taken place, the result of which is contained in the following cor respondence : Sir, —I beg to hand you a copy of a resolution passed at a meeting last evening, and which by a second resolu tion was ordered to be forwarded to you. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Sept. 26, 1860, J. B. DAY, Mr. Thompson. Chairman of the said Meeting. (Copy of Resolution.) This meeting regret that Mr. Churchwarden Thompson should in the discharge of his duties insult several pa rishioners in their parish church, and that he should refuse to call a public parish meeting, when solicited to do so, by a requisition signed by a number of rate payers ; and this meeting are of opinion that such conduct is an arbitrary stretch of power. In pass ing this resolution in reference to Mr. Thompson, this meeting. feel fully aware of the difficult duties he has to contend with; nevertheless, they think faithful decision ought to characterise all honourable conduct, and it must have been long evident that it is impossible for Mr. Thomp son to serve the rector and to do justice to the insulted parishioners ; and this meeting considers closing the church-gates, and placing the entrance to the church under surveillance, is an insult to the liberty of the subject. Tho special case of assault, arising under the riot of Sunday, had not concluded at the time of going to press. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) DOW STREET. ROBBERY AT DEI3ENIIAM'S AUCTION Rooms.—Wm. Anderson, a very respectably dressed man, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a gold watch, chain, and diamond ring from the auction rooms of . Messrs. Deben ham, King-street, Covent-garden. James Becker said—l reside at Hall-place, Paddington, and am an eagine driver. Yesterday I was sitting in the auction room of Debenham and Storr, in King-street, Covent-garden, when I saw the prisoner unhook a gold watch and guard that was hanging up On view and draw it along the counter towards him, and put it into his left hand coat pocket. In a minute or two he got up and went out. I then looked to see if the watch had been replaced, and seeing it was still missing I followed the prisoner, up Rose street, into Long acre. He crossed over and went into a public-house at the corner of St. Martin's-lane, and then I stood waiting for a policeman. Before one arrived he came out again, and went up Long-acre, through some low courts, and passed Debenham and Storr's Rooms again. I followed the pri soner into an oil shop in New-street, and then one of Debenham's assistants came, and I charged the prisoner with taking the watch from their auction-rooms. He denied it, and said ho would nrof a... oucli a thing. When he was taken back to the auction-rooms, I saw the gold watch, chain, and diamond ring (produced) taken from his pocket. The prisoner said some one must have put it in there, and upon my saying I had seen him take it from the rack, he said that ho must have taken it by mistake. The prisoner did not appear to be worse for liquor. John Wicks—l am a porter in the service of Messrs. Storr. About half-past 12 the prisoner was brought into the rooms by the last witness and one of our assistants. I had not seen him before ; but prior to that I had missed lot 207—a gold watch, chain, and ring. When I went down and found the prisoner the porter had the watch and ap pendages in his hand. The property now before me is that which I had previously missed. It is valued at £9. The prisoner first said he had come back to pay for them, but he afterwards said that a young man had given them to him, and after that he said that some one must have put them in his pooket. Police-constable F 71 said—At half past 12 yesterday I was called to the prosecutor's premises, when the prisoner was given into my custody for stealing a watch and chain. Ho said he had no intention of stealing the property, but that he took it down to look at it. He refused to give any address. On being searched V Ils. Sd. and some dice wore found in his pockets. On being asked what he had to say to the charge, Thi . ) prisoner said he wished the magistrate would deal summarily with the case. He would not plead guilty to stealing the watch, but he would admit having it unlaw fully in his possession. The magistrate said it was too serious a case to deal with summarily. He should commit him for trial on the charge, but previous to doing so he would remand him for a week, to give time to the police to make some inquiries about him. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. JUVINILE BBGGARS.—A GREAT WANT.—Ann Mullins, Mary Mullins, and Bridget Mom, three little girls, whose heads only just peered above the dock, wore charged with begging and annoying persons in th e s t ree t. The children and other members of their families have been brought to this court times out of number. The father of the girl Moran is now undergoing three months for pot stealing, and the mother is also in prison for begging. The whole of them have been for a long time past a perfect pest in the neighbourhood of Leicester-square and the club houses. Jarvis, a constable of the C division, having proved see ing the girls begging in Leicester-square, and having had his attention called to them by some ladies who were an noyed by them, watched them, and seeing them step up to a young female, and because she refused to relieve them, nearly pull off her cloak, he took them into custody. He believed two of the girls had been at the court several times. _ Mr. Beadon said the whole of them had, and it was pas , endurance. Welsh, the gaoler of the court, said the mother of Moran was coming out of prison that day. Mr. Beadon said it was no use leaving children, like those at the bar, about the streets. He wished there was an asylum where he could send them for three years; but at present there was none for girls, though there was for boys. At present he should send them for a month's imprisonment each. James Small, merchant, 11, Vincent-terrace, Isling ton, was fined £3 for an assault on a constable named Portch, 317 A, in the Haymarket. THE MAILS. MAILS DUE.

SAVED BY A DRUM.—The drummer boy of the Milwaukee Light Giiard in the Lady Elgin was saved by means of his drum. He had presence of mind sufficient to whittle a plug and close the air vent; then, lashing the drum to his shoulders, he trusted himself to the waves. The drum supported him, and also four others, who seized hold of it; but those, one after the other, dropped off. The drum carried the boy nearly ashore, when by some means one head was burst in, and it filled with water. The boy aban doned it, and seizing a fragment of the wreck succeeded in reaching the shore. The drum afterwards came ashore, and Was returned to the PoY w119§9 life it Ji,ad med. WEATHER. A correspondent, in a letter to a contemporary, says:-- Since I last wrote on the subject of reaping machines, constructed on the principle of cutting off the ears as well as cutting down the straw of standing corn, I have, through the courtesy of a gentleman some time resident in South Australia, been made acquainted with the fact that an imple ment has, for some years past, been in general use in that part of the Australian colony, capable of cutting off the ears of corn and of thrashing them by one and the same operation. Previous to the receipt of this communication, I had been under the impression that I was the first to think of and de vise a plan for the construction of an ear-reaping machine, but it is now very evident that in this I have been anticipated, for although the primary object of the Australian implement is the thrashing of corn, the ears are cut off by the same imple ment before being thrashed, and the cutting off is well and readily done. The question as to the possibility of constructing an efficient implement upon the plan I advocated is thus, I think, now en tirely set at rest. My informant tells me that the machine was in vented by a gentleman named Ridley, and has been of the utmost service to the colonists of Southern Australia ; moreover, he says that ev er y f armer there considers it as indispensable to his farm operations as the plough itself, and that as a rule, with this machine, a single farm labourer can har vest all the grain grown upon the land he can cul tivate with a well-appointed team. The implement is, as I have before remarked, in fact a thrashing machine, and of simple construc tion; it is mounted on a pair of ordinary-sized cart wheels, having attached to the side of one of them a cog wheel by which motion is given (as the ma chine is drawn over the corn to be harvested) by the aid of multiplying wheels to the ordinary drum of a thrashing mill placed across the front of the carriage, which is mounted upon wheels; this carriage being, in fact, a large box calculated to re ceive doe grain, chaff, and heads as they are struck off by the rapidly-revolving beaters of the drum. In order to bring the heads of the standing corn under the influence of the beaters a comb is placed immediately under the drum; this comb is com posed of bayonet-shaped iron teeth, so formed and placed that as the machine is drawn over the stand ing corn the heads pass between the teeth, and as they—i.e. the teeth—from their form, nearly touch each other where the drum revolves over them, the head of grain is held in a favourable position for being struck by the beaters. The carriage is preserved in equilibrium by a strong pole or beam that projects diagonally from its side near the front part of it, and rests upon a small wheel; upon this beam machinery is placed for lowering or raising the front of the carriage so as to suit the position of the comb to the height of the corn ; there is also placed upon it a seat for the conductor, who, by means of the aforesaid im plement with can direct the course of the with the greatest exactitude. The draught is also attached to the end of this beam, so that the horses travel upon ground that has been already operated upon by the implement. The current of air caused by the velocity with which the drum revolves is found to be quite suffi c i en tly po w erful to project all that is severed into the body of the machine. I have described the c on s t ruc ti on o f the machine almost in my informant's own words. My informant rightly remarks that, although the machine is perfect in its performance in the dry climate of South Aus tralia, where with it six or seven acres of wheat are constantly thrashed and got together during the day, it would not be found to answer in a moist climate like our own, so far as the thrashing is concerned; in England wheat must, we are all aware, be much drier than it is when first cut, be fore it can be thrashed ; still the machine might, with some slight modification, be rendered capable of performing the work of severing the heads from the straw and collecting them. In respect of the comb the Australian implement resembles in con struction the one I had proposed to myself; it was by such a contrivance that I had hoped to meet the difficulty of corn varying in its inclination in diffe rent parts of the same field, and I feel persuaded that this difficulty may be met. I hope before long to be in possesion of a plan of the Australian ma chine, and trust that before the harvest of next year arrives a serviceable ear-collecting reaping machine will be in existence. IRELAND. DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNING. eAltnies 1. - . , l7.ar O oeo r l P n lilNCE NAPOLEON; The Jerome yacht, with Prince Napo leon on board, arrived in. Kingstown harbour yes terday a little before noon, but his Highness . will not disembark till this morning, when he will pro ceed to town by rail. The visit of his Imperial Highness is said to be purely one of recreation, and he travels as unostentatiously as possible. The approach of the yacht was announced on herheaving in sight at about a quarter to 12 o'clock yesterday, and at half-past 12 she entered the harbour, bear ing the French tricolour on the flag-staff at her taffrail. Her Majesty's ship Ajax lowered her fla g in salute, which was returned by the yacht as she steamed up to her moorings at the jetty. 'Founders of this morning gives the following account of the Prince's arrival : Yesterday considerable excitement pervaded the jetty during the performance of the band, in con sequence of the presence of the French steamer screw ship, having Prince Napoleon on board. The vessel arrived at the harbour's mouth at a quarter past 12 o'clock, having passed Bray-head half an hour before, under canvas and steam, going at a good speed before a fresh breeze from the south east. At one o'clock the Prince entered a six-oared gig, which pulled across the harbour, the club houses and yachts firing a salute, and the splendid band of the 2d Dragoons striking up the favourite national air, " Partant pour la Syrie," the crowd promenading the jetty lining the edge to catch a glimpse of the Prince. An enthusiastic gentleman stood up on one of the pillars of the jetty and announced three cheers for "Ireland's friend," and also " Louis Napoleon." A small steam screw boat, about the size of an ordinary ship's cutter, put off from the French ship, and steamed about the har bour, to the great delight of the beholders, espe cially to the juvenile portion.

Friday Morning, Wind N.E., --- RIFLED CANNON.—Mr. Lyn2ll Thomas's rifled cannon—the largest rifled weepon ever made—has been tried with complete success this week at Shoeburyness. This cannon weighs upwards of six tons, and fires a shot of 1741 b. weight, with a charge of powder of no less than a quarter of a hundred -weight I We are unable to say what range was attained, but, judging from the initial velocity of the shot and its timcof flight, it must have been enormously great, and altogether unprecedented. The gun is made of the Mersey puddled steel by Mr. Clay, and stood the im mense strain brought upon it with perfect success, show ing no sign of weakness anywhor?. The heaviest rifled can non ever made prior to this of Mr. Thomas's is the Whit worth 80-pounder ; but the weight of this is b u t 4 tons— nearly a third less than that of the new weapon. The heaviest projectile ever before fired from a rifled cannon is Sir W. Aruistron's 1001 b. shot from a cannon of consider ably less than four tons. It will be seen, therefore, that another great advance has been made in the art of gun con struction, ann due which will bear seriously upon the much -agitated enestiou of iron -cased PLiPS,-4/Cchq/lIV I 10 20 20 5 20 FOREIGN RAIL' Antwerp .4c Rotterdam trclennes .............. 3 I altAS.Fran-Lim.7 p.c. ,Belgian East.

The proceedings connected with the inquest on the body of Thomas Murphy commenced at Lurgan yesterday, and had not concluded up to post hour. It appears that the report of M'Cann's death was premature, but the unfortunate man is not expected to survive many hours. The excitement in the neighbourhood is intense, and party feeling runs extremely high. The reporter of the Freeman's Journal writes : " There were 44 jurors summoned to attend the inquest, 28 of whom were Protestants (some of them Orangemen), and 16 Roman Catholics. There seemed to be an antip a th y on a ll h an d s to serve on the July, and it was not until fines of £2 each had been struck by the coroner against a number of the absentees that a jury could be formed. The jury, as sworn, consisted of 13 P ro t es t ants and 10 Catho lics, and after some observations from Mr. Rea as to the legality of the jury being sworn, they pro ceeded to the country to view the b o d y . C ars were provided to take the jurors out to the house where the deceased lay, and about 4 o'clock they returned. The body presented a horrible spectacle, the head swelled enormously, and face quite black; and such was the offensive odour that lime had to be used to keep it down in the house. After returning to Lurgan, an application was made by Mr. Rea for an adjournment, which was agreed to by the coroner. The excitement in the neighbourhood is immense, and 111‘Cann, another of the victims, is expected to die within less than 48 hours." In the course of the proceeding the following curious discussion took place between Mr. John Rae, solicitor, who appeared on behalf of the friends of the deceased, and Mr. Edward Atkin son, the district coroner for the county of Armagh, and formerly a member of the Orange brotherhood: Mr. Rea applied that, as the case was a political and sectarian one, arising out of a collision between persons of hostile politics and. different religious persuasions, any member of the Orange Society who had answered—and he was instructed some had—might be permitted to retire. The society was, he contended, illegal in some lodges, though it might not be illegal in others. He believed that four or five years ago the coroner himself ceased to be connected with it on being appointed to a judi cial position. There would be no difficulty in making up the number of jurors from persons in the town who were not connected with the Orange Society. The Coroner—lt is quite true that I was a mem ber of the Orange Association, and have ceased to be so for some years. From my knowledge of that association my opinion is this—that if. accordine c. ch. hilVb cum constitution of the society, its members wore guided by the rules 'of the Bible, and acted up to them, there would be no objcction to any man because he is an Orangemen. I am sorry to say that some ,members of the body—not all, but some—do not act up to these rules. In this case a precept has been issued to the sub-inspector of constabulary, and he has returned :a list of 45 persons. Their names having been called over, cer tain persons have answered, and others have been fined for nonattendance. I apprehend that this is not a case in which there is a right to challenge or object at any side. The proper officer has made his return, and I, for my part, do not know that there is an Orangeman on the jury. I hope there is not, but I do not think it is a subject of inquiry here. Did you ever know it to be the subject of a challenge on a grand jury ? Mr. Rea said he did not, but the present was a different case. The coroner having been an Orange man formerly did not, in his (Mr. Rae's) mind, raise any objection to him, legally or morally, but he thought that Orangemen should retire from the jury. _ . _ The Coroner—l think we are better without any society of the kind, but I am not going to suggest that a person by being a member of the Orange Society is incapacitated from holding any office or executing any duty. My own opinion is that the time for such a society has expired, but I will not say that being a member of it is an objection to a person serving as a juror. Mr. Rea said it - was very important that the verdict of the jury should be above suspicion. The Lord Chancellor had written to the Lord Lieute nant of Ulster directing that no one should be recommended for appointment to the bench who was an Orangeman. The coroner had the same power to exclude them from the box that the Lord Chancellor had to exclude them from the bench. There was no registry of Orangemen, but the con stabulary could state which of the jurors belonged to the society. The Coroner—l am quite persuaded that the sub-inspector did his duty, and as you say that the constabulary know those who are Orangemen, must take it for granted that they have done their duty. Mr. Rea did not mean to say that the constabu lary had not done their duty ; bit, as ho was in formed that some Orangemen had answered, he persisted in his objection. The Coroner—There would be a great deal of weight to be attached to that objection if o n the verdict the parties were to be set free or hanged' but even suppose that the verdict is Justifiable homicide, they could not get out until the Queen's Bench released them. They aro now fo about under a magistrate's warrant, and we are only to do what I may say the magistrates have done already. Mr. Rea—The case then was an assault; now 1 will press for a verdict of Wilful murder. The Coroner—Whate ver the verdict may be, th e Crown can send up wh at bill they like to the assiz es . The case will not be a ffected by the verdict of this jury. m m y knowledge of the laws Would acted u t they e Orange Society in Belfast l do shape or form ; and, and constitution of Mr. Rea renewed his objection. F l v rt e h° re . p o The Cor i o f n t e h r e — y not think lead anydividnal or individuals though an in may disgrace however I may en • and man to.do wrong in any the body, that now such a body could be, and should be, and ought to be dispensed with, yet the religion which Orangemen profess is a religion of peace and good will. That, I think, is best expressed by abstaining from party demonstrations of all kinds, whether by flogs, music, or anything calculated to excite ani mosity. The time, in my opinion, has arrived when anything of the kind should not be allowed in a Christian country. But, from my knowledge of the laws and constitution of the Orange Society, I know nothing in those laws or that constitution to cause or to lead or induce men to do that which is wrong. It is founded on Bible prineiples, and if they only acted up to their laws and constitution we should not be met here to-day. Mr. Rea—They sometimes interpret the Bible too literally, and go beyond the Jews in slaughter ing the Amalekites. (Laughter.) The Coroner—lt may be that members of the society do not follow the laws and constitution of their order, and it may be that that is the reason I left them ; but it is not because some do wrong that all are to be condemned. You belong to a religious body yourself. If one member of that body com mitted a crime, it would not be fair that therefore the rest should be slandered. Mr. Rea—The Presbyterian congregation_ to s, which I belong never do wrong. (Laughter.lrlanh__ do not even accept the reyiunz demon. think Oran Society is a secret society, and I do not ..__ Y u ' its members should act on the jury when other mem bers of it aro implicated. h oCiOtY arc open The Coroner—The Imys of t—o and public. You have read them and know them, I am quite sure. Mr. Ilea—l have called your attention to the matter. It is for you to act. The Coroner—l am not prepared to make any rule on the subject. The coroner and jurors then proceeded to Derry. macash—two miles distant—and the jury ware sworn in the residence of the deceased, where he died. At half-past 3 o'clock the coroner again took his scat on the bench, and the names of the jury were called over. _ _ Mr. Rea applied for an adjournment of the in quest until Monday next, stating that he was not then prepared with evidence. lie added that his clients had received fairplay up to the present. After some conversaticn the inquiry was ad journed until Monday next, at 10 o'clock. THE HARVEST. easeAot nthehzr=ft agricultural of fin e n . wh d - e n a c t cor e h according in a er s te tot nded to the tone of the majority of the latest reports there is now a reasonable prospect of an average though extremely late harvest. A IVexford paper contains a long review, founded on personal examination of the state of the crops in that county, in the course of thesay says country which we h th a e ve w s r c i e t n er for several miles and been among some of its richest fields and mast active agriculturists about the centre of the county, and rejoice to find that, late as the season is, there is no despondency, and that the damage done has not been so great as apprehended. In the fine line of country from Enniscorthy to Ferns, and over the extensive scope which the eye can take in, the crops are still in general in the fields in stacks or well made stooks, but little cut and on the ledge, and still less on foot. Dry,bracing weather for a few days will make all fit for the haggard, and the mar ket which is opening with a smart demand and good prices compensate the farmer for his toils and anxieties. We observed two or three wheat fields, which in July last would have been pronounced excellent, but now so green as to give little hope of ever arriving at maturity. Beans, which are back ward everywhere, are little cultivated in the inte rior, where the hardy early tawny oats occupy a large space and prove a good crop generally. The potato blight is everywhere—but we presume less severe in the upper part of the county than in Forth and Pargy, where a more trader kind, the primrose, had been more extensively planted than the Scotch Downs and other sorts. In general, however, the potato fields present a grass and weed covered aspect, a sure indication of the presence and ravages of the blight. TEMPERANCE IN BUSSIA. The Polish journal TViadomosci Polski publishes the following Russian order to the Bishop of Samogitia, to restrain the efforts of the Polish clergy:from spreading temperance among the pea santry :-- Wilno, June 2, 1860 (No. 3,671.) The Minister of the Treasury has informed tue, in his despatch of th e 16th u lt., th at news h ad reached him that your excellency had taken most severe measures to compel the people to pledge themselves by oath to abstain from strong drinks. On the 19th March last you sent a circular to all the clergy in your district, directing them to re quire their parishioners to write their names in a. list of those who pledged themselves to abstain from drunkenness, in a book which they were to prepare for that purpose, and such as were parents or guardians to add to their own names those of their children or wards ; and to see that all those whose names were included in such list renewed their promise of temperance till death before the image of the virgin. Observing that the reason of the diminution of the sum raged by taxes on spirits in the Govern ment of Kowno was the great speed of abstinence, and desiring to convince myself that such was the fact, I had requested your excellency, in my des patch of the sth March, No. 1,528, to furnish me with a list of the persons who had abstained from drunkenness in the Government of Kowno, accord ing to the annexed form. That form shows that the numbers only of those parishes about which information had already been obtained were re quired ; but I by no means gave my sanction to the collection of more signatures, the introduction of books to receive them, and of societies whose establishment was not sanctioned by Government. In your answer, dated 12th March, No. 575, your excellency informed me that you had made application for the details required, not mentioning the new arrangements which were afterwards pro mulgated in the rirpulAr of the 10th March above alluded to. To enlarge upon the benefits of temperance, and raise a warning voice against drunkenness, is use ful, and conducive to th morality of the nation ; but the recommending total abstinence from strong drink, and that by means so strongly calculated to impress the minds of the lower class, such as oaths, promises of absolution of sins, &c., cannot be en dured, as being opposed to the general conviction of the benefits arising from the moderate use of strong liquors, to the system of the Roman Catho lic ecclesiastical establishment in Russia, and my receipts of 1858 and 1859, and to the views of the Government, who have carried out the taxes on spirits. It will be sufficient if the clergy, without forbid ding the peasants to us.e spirits in moderation, would dissuade them from drunkenness, or the ex cessive use of strong liquors. In this way alone is it possible to conciliate the views of the Govern ment, having for their object the recovery of the sums raised by the taxes on spirits, with the idea of restraining the peoplo from indulging in the sin ful passion of drunkenness. I have, therefore, agreeably to the request of the minister of the Treasury, the honour to beg your Excellency to recall the orders contained in the Circular of the 19th March, and put a stop to any improper acts on the part of the clergy ; also, that you will direct them not to make use of any threats, or Ti other means, not sanctioned by Government, in dissuading their parishioners from drunk en . hasca permitted, "Y itted and other sins ; and, confining themselv es u t s °' o f i _ struaion, not to forbid the moderate , drinks, which our Saviour himself in changing the water into wine at t a lso to direct our Excellency will not fail sent them your parishioners to return the , in order that such may be d books d es troyed ; and in general to make the ac ts r ° f your clergy con - ei formable to lawful ord er and c. (Signed) the duties of their religious calling .—I NAZI have, lON, Civil Governor. - - TIDE IV-4K.EFIELD POISONING CASE. lI ENSION OF THREE SISTERS, ' Our r eaders will remembe r the death of F ra nces Adamson, an aged l a d y, at Sandal Magna, near akefield, in August last.
