OLD COURT. (Before the Lord Chief Baron and Mr. Justice Byles.) THE TURKISH PIASTRE CASE. Mr. Sergeant Parry applied that the trial of Antoine Aime Hugon and Hugon Reverdy, who stood charged with unlawfully causing to be made a certain press and dies for the purpose of making counterfeit coin, not of this realm, but to resemble the coin of a foreign prince, to wit, the Sul tan of Turkey should be fixed for to-morrow. _ _ Mr. Sleigh, who appeared for one of the prisoners, wished the trial to be postponed to the next session. After a short discussion the Lord Chief Baron said the case should be the first taken by the Judges next session. MURDER. Isaac Harmond was indicted for the wilful murder of Sarah Farrell. Mr. Bodkin, who appeared for the prosecution, said the charge against the prisoner was that he caused the death of Sarah Farrell by throwing her out of window, but in con sequence of the absence of a material witness he was unable to proceed with the cased wring the present sessions. The trial was accordingly postponed. a public-house in Deptford, when a quarrel arose, which resulted in a fight. During the affray, the prosecutor said, the prisoner drew a knife and made two or three thrusts at him, one of which took effect in his back, another cut his chin, and the other he warded off with his arm. Evidence to prove the assault having been given, the Common Sergeant summed up, and told the jury that if they had any doubt in their mind that the prisoner was the man who attacked the prosecutor, they would acquit him. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the Common Sergeant sentenced him to nine months' imprisonment with hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. GOLD ROBBERY BY A DENTIST'S APPRENTICE.-Wm. Stratham, a respectable-looking youth, an apprentice to Mr. Wm. Broadway, dentist, of 23, Gilbert-street, was charged with stealing gold cuttings, the property of his master. Chas. Cole, a detective officer, said that from information he received he followed the prisoner on the previous night from his master's to a refiner's in Wardour-street, named Hearne, and, on looking in, he saw something put in the scale, and, on going into the shop, saw the gold produced in the scale, and after it was weighed heard Mr. Hearne say it came to 7s. 3d., and saw Mr. Hearne pay the prisoner for it. He then told the prisoner he was a constable, and charged him with stealing the gold from his master. He said, " I am very sorry for it. I know I have done wrong, and I'll give you anything if you let me go, and you need not say anything to my master or any one else, or I'm ruined if you do."' Mr. Wm. Broadway, dentist, of 23, Gilbert-street, said the prisoner, who was an apprentice, had been in his em- ploy four years. He had lately lost a good deal of gold. From the Ist Sept. last, above three ounces. The cuttings produced are exactly similar to some he had missed, and were used by no one else but dentists. The price given the prisoner was not very low, but he considered that the per son had no business to buy it. The prisoner said he was guilty. The prosecutor said the prisoner's family were very re spectable, and his reason for suspecting the prisoner was because he spent more money than he was justified in doing. Mr. Beadon said it was monstrous that things like these should be taken in by a refiner from such a lad. He could not comprehend how it could be supposed that the gold could have been obtained honestly. It was very discredit able. It was only on account of his youth that he did not send him for trial. He should not, however, feel justified in sending him for a shorter term than six months. ASSAULT ON A SENTINEL AND A PARK-KEEPER.— Isaac Norton Taylor, a carpenter, was charged with as saulting William Oulton, a private of the Ist battalion of Coldstream Guards, while doing duty as a sentinel at the Magazine Barracks, Hyde-park ; and also with assaulting Holmes, a park constable. Holmes said that on the previous afternoon he saw the prisoner strike the sentinel, and call him a vile name. He persuaded him to go away quietly, seeing he had been drinking, when he struck him in the mouth in a violent manner, seized him by the arm and threw him, caught him in the stomach with his knee, and then kicked him in the groin. Oulton - said he was doing sentry duty at the Magazine Barracks, in Hyde-park, when his corporal cautioned him as to the prisoner, who was using very bad language. He reasoned with him and tried to get him to go away, but he would insist on looking through the barrack windows. Having orders to prevent people doing so, he told him to leave, when he called him a -, and said, " I'll smash your teeth for you.'' Finding he would not go, he pushed him away, when he became very violent, and tried to seize his firelock, and kicked him and the constable also. Prisoner said he had been drinking with the soldier, but this the soldier said was not true, as he was doing sentry duty at the barracks. Mr. Beadon said the prisoner seemed to think very lightly of it. It was a very serious case interfering with the sentinel. For the assault on the soldier he should order him to pay 405., or a month, and for the assault on the park constable, 14 days' imprisonment. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock.

THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. Henry Lamb, late a servant in the employ of the South- Western Railway, was placed in the dock, indicted under the coroner's inquest with manslaughter. Mr. Salter said as the evidence was the same as that placed before the grand jury last session, when the bill against him for manslaughter was ignored, he was not in structed, as the prisoner had been some time in custody, to offer any evidence. _ _ The jury returned a verdict of acquittal. Mr. Sleigh hoped the prisoner would leave the bar with• out a stain on his character. _ . The Lord Chief Baron said he thought that in all cases where a person had suffered imprisonment equal to that if the charge had been tried, he ought not to go away with a stain on his character. _ _ The prisoner was then ordered to be discharged. RAPE. John Morris, 28, tailor, was indicted for s a rape on the person of Eliza Ann Bennett. The prisoner pleaded " Not guilty." Mr. Ribton appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Sleigh defended the prisoner. _ _ _ The learned counsel having stated the case, called— Eliza Ann Bennett, who said—l live with my parents in Wimpole-street. lam 17 years of age. lam an apprentice to a dressmaker in New, Bond-street. I saw the prisoner there from our window. I afterwards saw him in the street one Saturday night ; he asked me how I was, and to meet him on the Monday evening. It was a week before the offence was committed. I met him on the Monday, after I left work. It was about seven o'clock. I went for a walk with him into Hyde-park, where we remained till about nine o'clock. I made another appointment with him on Wednesday evening. We met that night at about eight o'clock. We went to Hyde-park again. That time we remained about an hour and a-half. I told him I lived in Wimpole-street, and he afterwards saw me home. He went home with me the second night. He asked me if I was an apprentice, and I told him I was. He said he came from" Nottinghamshire. - When we parted on Wednesday I appointed to meet him on the Friday following. We met about half-past 7 and went into Hyde-park, and strolled down " the Hewer walk," until past 9. We talked about the people for whom I worked, and he afterwards saw me home. We again appointed to meet on Sunday. We met about 9 o'clock in Tottenham court-road. I remained with him about half-an-hour. We conversed on trivial subjects; He accompanied me home, and he then asked me to meet him on the Monday. We met, and proceeded as usual to Hyde-park. He said he wished that my parents knew of our going out, and I said the same. We walked about until it go late. and the gates closed before I knew it. We then walked towards that part of the park between the barracks and Victoria-gate. It was a long way from either of the public entrances. I believed up to that time he was paying his addresses to me.. I never had been keeping company with any person before. After we sat down on one of the seats he commenced pushing me, and, finally, after I had re sisted as much as I could, he accomplished his purpose. I reproached him with his ill-usage, but he said I need say nothing about it as he had done me no harm. We after wards walked to the gate opposite Brooke-street, where the prisoner lifted me over the railings. He went a part of the way home with me on this occasion. He went as far as Bond street, when he left. Ho begged me not to say anything about what had occurred. It was half-past 11 o'clock when I got home, - My mother was very cross with me for being out so late. I said I had been out with Miss Smith, one of my work companions. On the following morning I was crying, when my mother asked me what was the matter, and I told her of what had occurred in the Park. She told my father, and the prisoner was given into cus tody. Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh=The window of the pri soner's workshop was opposite ours. There were live girls working in the same room as I did. There was also some other young men in the room inyhich the prisoner worked. I never walked out with any one of them. I don't know a young man named Hardcastle. The young man Hardcastlo was called, and the witness said I never knew him by name. I have never been out walking with him. On my oath I have never been out Walking with him. He asked me to do so, but I re fused. One night he followed me home. The Chief Baron—You now don't know the young man's name is Hardcastle ? By Mr. Sleigh—He walked sometimes by my side, and sometimes behind me. He begged me to go out with him. I knew he worked at Mr. Moore's. I have never made signs to any of the young men in the workroom. I had been out four times with the prisoner before the offence was committed. I never thought at that time he was going to marry me. I did not think anything about marriage, as I considered I had not known him long enough- If I had continued to walk with the prisoner I should have told my mother. I have been once to a publichouse with the pri soner. It was on a Sunday night. I had but bne glass of wine, and we only stopped until I had drank it. He wished me to go to Richmond on the Sunday, but I told him that I could not go. While we were walking in the park he always told me he was very fond of me. When the prisoner lifted me over the park railings I saw two men, but I never mentioned anything of what had occurred to either of them. I had never been in the park so late before. If I had seen a policeman before I got home I should have given him into custody. Re-examined by Mr. Ribton—l said I did not think of marriage, as I thought I had not known him sufficiently long. I thought he was paying his addresses to me. Mary Ann Bennet, mother of the last witness said—l re collect my daughter coining home late on the night in question. She was never out so late before. I was in such a passion with her that I sent her to bed immediately. She told me she had been out for Miss Smith the person she worked with. Next morning I saw her, she was crying very much, and she then told me what had occurred. The next day the prisoner was given into custody. The reason he was not given into custody immediately was that we were in such a distressed condition that wo knew not what to do. Mr. F. Fothill, surgeon, having given his evidence. Mr. Sleigh then addressed the jury for the prisoner. The jury after four hours' deliberation returned a ye* diet of Not Guilty. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) STEALING A CHEESE.—Thomas Bonner, 31, carman, was indicted for stealing a cheese, valued at £2, and 8 lbs. of bacon, the property of William Benjamin Blackburn, and Benjamin Barnes, 55, dealer, was indicted for receiving the same. Benjamin Blackburn said—l carry on the business of a cheesemonger in Church-street, Greenwich. I know Bon ner; he is carter to Mr. Webb, a wholesale cheesefactor. He was at my shop on Friday, the 24th Sept. He brought 19 firkins of butter. Before the butter was delivered I had to leave my home, and after an absence of about an hour I returned, and from what my servant told me I went to Bonner's master, in Whitechapel. I made a statement, and Bonner was given into custody. In consequence of what passed a policeman went to Barnes' house, and searched for a cheese, which was not discovered, but they took Barnes into custody. While Barnes was at the station he was confronted with Bonner, and was asked if that was the man to whom he had sold the cheese. Bonner said "Yes, I sold it to hint for five-and-twenty shillings." Barnes denied this, and said the cheese was left for disposal. Bonner said it was not so. John Sibbett—l am in the employ of Mr. Blackburn. I recollect the prisoner Bonner bringing th e b u tt er t o the shop. He afterwards assisted me in conveying the firkins into the cellar. He then produced a sack and asked if he could take away some of the oat husks lying about; he was told he could, and I then saw him fill the bag half full of the husks, and then put a cheese in the bag, which he filled up with the oat husks. I am certain I saw him put the cheese in the bag. Police constable Thorne said—l took both prisoners into custody. Barnes said he had not had a cheese hi ought to him at all. Police Constable Savage said—l asked Barnes if he had a cheese brought to him by Bonner ; he said no. I then told him he must come with me to the station. He then said, Webb's man left a cheese that morning to sell, and he had given it to a man to sell whom he did not know. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. The Recorder sentenced the prisoners to twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour. THIRD COURT.

To-day's market was very scantily supplied with all kinds of English wheat, the quality of which was tolerably good. Fine dry samples were held at fully Monday's cur rency, but other descriptions were very dull, at late rates. A liberal supply of foreign wheat-6,610 quarters, has come to hand. There was no disposition on the part of the millers to operate, hence the business done was trifling, and prices were barely supported. In floating cargoes of grain next to nothing was doing. We had a steady demand for 'nailing barley, at full quotations. Fresh grinding parcels were firm, but distil ling qualities ruled heavy. The malt trade was far from active, yet prices were well supported. Oats still come in freely from abroad, and the demand for them was far from active, at Monday's decline. Beans, peas, and flour were unaltered in value. ARRIVALS TILTS WEEK. Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats. Flour English B2O I 1,730 13,830 640 I 1,370 Irish - - 1 , 500 Foreign .. 6,5 5,950 1033,420 I 940 UN.

DENSE FOG AT LIVERPOOL.—LIVERPOOL, TueS day.—A fog of a very dense character set in in the lower part of this town, covering the river and extending to the Channel. So thick upon the river was the fog that yester day morning and evening the ferry boats, with the excep tion of those belonging to 'Woodside, did not ply, yester day evening the town presented a gloomy aspect, especially in the higher districts. To-day there is a great diminution of the fog, but there are indications that as the night closes in it will once more. settle do,wn over the town. We have not learned of any aeciderit having occurred- Oa the river or in tho town from tho &unity of the fog. IRELAND. DUBLIN, TUESDAY MORNING. GOVERNMENT AND THE PRESBYTERIAN CHAPLAINS. The Rev. John Rogers has addressed a long letter to the Banner of Ulster , bearing upo n th e pending dispute between the General Assembly and the Government in regard to the appointment of Presbyterian chaplains for the army. In the letter is embodied an authoritative communication received by Mr. Rogers from the chapl a i n -G eneral of the Forces in relation to the chaplaincy appoint ment at Shorncliffe " The following" (says the rev. gentleman) i s the letter which I received a few days ago ; and, as it is for Clergy P,' which means, perhaps, ' publicity among the clergy,' and has the impri matur of the Chaplain-General' at both top and tail—which, doubtless, is intended as a warning to aspirants in general after military chaplain cies—l don't see that I can do better than give the warlike missive general, if not universal, circulation:— " ' Clergy P. " ' General No., 203. " ' War-office, Pall-mall, S.W., Oct 16. `i Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Major- General Peel to acquaint you that he has deter mined on appointing an assistant-chaplain to the forces to attend to the religious wants of the Pre byterian troops at Shorncliffe, and that the Rev. J. Young has been directed to proceed thither forth with. j" In acquainting you that after the arrival of Mr. Young at Shorncliffe your services at that sta tion will no longer be required, I have to express to you the Secretary of State's thanks for the care you have taken of the religious welfare of the Pres byterian troops during the time that they have been under your charge. " ' I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " G. R. GLEIG, C.G. " ' The Rev. John Rogers." The Banner, as the organ of the Presbyterian body, thus comments upon the War-office com munication : " It is perfectly evident that this last episode in the great chaplaincy drama is intended, on the part of Government, as a tolerably plain intimation that the Irish Presbyterian Church is to be excluded in toto from all share in Gsvernment patronage. The General Assembly has thus lost its position in the army altogether, and it has only now to remem ber by what traitorous and underhand methods, on the part of a miserable clique, such a consummation has been achieved. However, the Church has nobly vindicated its independence and honour throughout the whole of these negotiations, and it can afford to despise the unprincipled policy of a Government which scrupled not to break its pledges at the beck of its political partisans." THE BANK OF IRELAND. The trade report of the Freeman's Journal directs attention to a return lately presented to the House of Commons by the Bank of Ireland, showing the amount of dividends paid to the holders of Govern ment stock in Ireland, dividing them into classes. The return is given for 13 years, from 1845 to 1857, but that we extract is the last year. There were— Holders. Receiving less than £lO per annum 11,700 Receiving from £lO to £2O ditto Receiving from £2O to £lOO ditto Receiving from £lOO to £2,000 ditto 2,087 Receiving from £2,000 to £4,000 ditto Receiving upwards of £4,000 ditto 25,926 " The general tendency during the 13 years was to agreater subdivision; for instance, in the highest class, that receiving more than £4,000 per annum each, there had been 18 in 1845, but only six in 1857. Of these two were holders of New Threes, one of Consols, one of Long Annuities (which expire in another year), and two of Terminable Annuities. About four-fifths of the entire, both in number and value, is held in New Three per Cents. (late 31 per cent.), and only about one-fifth in Consols--a singular fact, as the aggregate amount in England of the two stocks is about equal. Our readers are aware that the New Threes are pro tected from reduction for 15 years. The following are the totals for each kind of stock. It will be observed that the proportion of all the other de scriptions of stock besides the two mentioned is very small. Some of them are, however, large holders : Holders. 21,487 4,136 New Three per Cents. Consols Reduced Three per Cents..... New Five per Cents. Two-and-a-Half per Cents. Long Annuities 2 Terminable Annuities 2b,926 '• It is curious that the only two Terminable An nuities are over £4,000 per annum." THE DUBLIN CUSTOMS DUTIES. The total Customs duties received here during the 12 months ending with the 30th of September vary but infinitesimally from those of the preceding year, there being a difference of only £365 in an amount of upwards of a million. If the comparison is extended to 1856, the difference is still very trifling, being under £6,000. The totals for the three years are—for 1858, £1,000,434; for 1857, £1,000,069 ; and for 1856, £994,536. THE P.RI.4IIIOSE PIT CiT,ISTROPIIE. The adjourned inquest upon the bodies of the fourteen men who were killed by suffocation in the Primrose Pit, Swansea Valley, on the 13th inst. (as duly reported in our columns), was resumed on Monday last before Alexander Cuthbertson, Esq., coroner. There were, however, but few if any ad ditional particulars given to those we have already made public. The first witness called was David Thomas, the overman of the colliery, who described the various courses which the air travelled to ventilate the pit, and added that two new boilers had recently been placed under ground, and which were to be used fok working the engine. One of the boilers had a fire under it for about a week, the other had not been tried at all. There was a small door placed near the boilers to prevent the smoke from the boiler return ing into the workings. That door was always kept fastened, and was so on the morning of the acci dent about an hour or an hour and a half before it happened. After the accident the door was found open. The door was fastened with a link and a staple, and in such a manner that somebody must have opened it, it could not open itself. He went into the pit the morning before the accident, and did not find any smoke come through the level. 'Witness then described the spots where the bodies of the unfortunate men were found, upon going into the pit after the accident. The colliery was duly examined the morning before the acci dent, and everything was right then. He could F ive no reason whatever for the accident, but said it must have been the sulphur from the engine. There were several other witnesses examined, every one of whom stated that the pit was very well ventilated—that they had never heard any complaint whatever made. They were all supplied with rules both in Welsh and English, and the proprietors of the pit never interfered to prevent anything being carried out for the safety of the pit. Each of the men further gave it as their opinion that this sad catastrophe arose entirely from the opening of the door near the boilers, which allowed the smoke from the boilers to return into the workings. Great stress was laid upon the fact (by one or two scientific gentlemen present) that some naked lamps were found burning where the men were suffocated. Mr. Thomas Evans, government inspector for South Wales, said there could be no doubt that the accident arose from the door being left open under the level of the crossing, and which separate d the one air from the other—the air was then filled both reversed, e and instead of going the usual way levels. It seemed strange that , lighted candles should burn where the men were suffocated ; but he found from the published reports of the inspec tors of mines that two similar cases were recorded where the return air from the boilers had caused death. There was no question that the pit w as well ventilated, and the accident undoubtedly arose from the opening of the door near the boilers. The Coroner then summed up, and the jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of " Acci dental death, caused by the opening of the door upon the.level, but by whom this was done there was no evidence to show." The jury-room was crowded during the whole day. DEATH OP A PLURALIST . —Di e d yester d ay (Tues day) morning, at his residence, High-street, Oxford, the Rev. V. Thomas, 8.D., late Senior Fellow of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, in the 84th year of his age. The rev, gen tleman at the time of his death, according to Crockford's Clerical _Directory, held the following valuable preferments: Villtrage of Stoneleigh, Warwickshire, value X5lO ; popu lation, 668 ; promoted in 1804 ; patron, Lord Leigh. Vicar age of Yarnton, Oxon, value £290 ; population 317 ; pro moted in 1803 ; patron, Sir George Dashwood, Bart. Rec tory of Dunkbourne-Rouse, Gloucestershire, value £243 ; population, 160 ; promoted in 1810 ; patrons, Corpus Christi College, Oxford. It will thus be seen that the rev. • gentleman,_ whose demise is here -announeed,- has, during the period he held the three livings, received the enormous sum of £55,154, the aggregate of the population being 1,145. Mr. Thomas graduated at Corpus Chris!). College, Oxford, in 1796, and rose to be one of the leading men of the college. He was well known throughout the country as a clergyman of great ability, though of somewhat eccen tric habits, Mr, Thomas leaves a widow, but no family. A PARIS ROMANCE. A romantic correspondent tells of a marriage about to take place between a Russian lady, of high birth and large fortune, and an artist of obscure birth, but illustrious name now-a-days, whose humble fortune would for ever have placed a bar rier between him and his now affianced bride, had not chance, and the merriest fellow in the world, drawn them together by the most mysterious and unaccountable succession of circumstances. The artist in question, as well known in London as in Vienna, in Lisbon as in Paris, in St. Petersburg as in Madrid, had been engaged to give accompanying lessons to the youngest daughter of Prince V. (lur ing the stay of the family at Baden. The lessons gave great delight to the pupil, and still more to the master, and it seems that a mutual attachment sprang up between them, and that before they were either of them aware of the consequences, Cupid held them both beneath his wings, as a hen gathers her litter in the same snug quarter, only it wasn't to make them warm and snug and comfortable— just the reverse. The attachment had been going on for some time. As usual, no one dreamt of such a thing—the Prince -father and the Princess-mother least of all. The artist came each afternoon, played his fiddle for an hour, was paid his napoleon, and went his way to play and be paid somewhere else. Perhaps no one would have ever dreamt of such an enormity as a high-born, well-bred young lady falling in love with one of God's more gifted creatures, handsome in person, polished m mind, and beaming with intelligence. seeing that he was " only a fiddler," had. not Chance, that mighty mother of our des tinies, came suddenly to the aid of all parties, and determined a position which had become no longer tolerable. One evening, by way of a farewell entertainment, the princess bad invited a few guests to make merry, and judge of her daughter's progress, under the instruction of her accompanying master's in struction. But all merriment seemed impossible; the young lady was overcome by sadness, and the company were disposed to join in the gloomy dis position of the moment. Mozart was played, and so was Haydn, with Beethoven and Mendelssohn, and a lot more; yet, strange to say, the dulness continued, and right glad was the company when the boute en train, the fun-maker of Baden, was announced. This arrival put life and spirit into the party, and people began to look up with a little more life in their veins. Of course our fun-making friend could not fail to perceive the dulness which had set upon the party, and, of course, could not fail, according to his word, to seek some means of dispelling it. He sang comic songs. and he recited comic verses ; and, in short, succeeded in dispelling everybody's sadness but that of the daughter of the house, who grew more perturbed as the evening advanced. In spite of all his efforts, nothing could cheer up the musician either, and he was thin to leave him to his fate. As soon as he was gone, the lugubrious tone in which he had uttered his fare well, and the misery depicted on his countenance, becamethe theme of conversation. " How dreadfully miserable poor S. looks to-night," said one. " What ails our gay musician ?" said another. " Did you see how nervous he was ?" said a third. "He fumbled for his hat on the piano, till poor Mdlle. P. looked quite annoyed, as she help(' him in the search. He had left it in the vestibule after all." And thereupon the conversation became animated about the detestable habit which men have of laying their hats down upon the tail of a grand piano, until it looks like the counter in an old Jew clothes shop. The conversation was not lost upon our wag • neither, somehow, was the pale ness and emotion of the young lady. He said no• thing, but resolved to test the matter in his own way. One by one the gentlemen disappeared, until but few were left, when he, too, approached to leave, and began to fumble for his hat upon the piano, as the others had done before him. • While he was thus engaged, he uttered a joyous cry— " Why, here it is ! Here is our po,or musician's hat, after all ! Why, he is gone away without it. Just like him—so absent ! He will catch his death of cold." Thereupon he drew out a hat from among the group, and held it to the light—" Ah ! there is a written paper inside. What does it say ?" He approached nearer to the lamp, and, perusing the paper, seemed suddenly seized with a giddy faint ness. " Excuse me," exclaimed he, rushing to the door, "there is not a moment to be lost. Poor S—, poor —; let me hasten, or I shall be too late." Of course every one crowded around, while Mdlle. P— stood pale and motionless by the piano. The paper dropped from the hat ; it was picked up and read aloud—" Before this meets your eye, I shall be no more ; I hasten hence to terminate a life no longer bearable. Keep this hat, which I shall want no more, and remember me." Of course every one was aghast, and most of the men rushed out into the street, while Mdlle. P fell upon the floor in a violent fit of hysterics, and, .with all the consternation which filled the place, none were so completely overcome as the poor wag himself, who had only meant to play a pleasant trick, and not to raise a house about his ears, as he had done. Mean while Mdlle. P was conveyed from the room, but not before she had betrayed her secret, amid the most dismal wailing, and just as the musician was brought back in triumph by his friends, having been found at his hotel quietly stepping into bed, He heard his own name pronounced with every epithet of endearment and term of self-reproach in the voice he loved best to hear, and with an earnest ness which must have comforted his heart. It was thus that this singular marriage, of which so much has been said and - written, has been brought about. The bridal party are to arrive in Paris for the purchase of the trousseau, and the fulfilment of the ceremony, in the early part of next week. THIS DAI'S SHIPPING.

GALWAY AS THE WESTERN PORT.—" In refer ence to the spirited enterprise of the Lever line of Trans atlantic steamers from Galway, I confess that I rejoice to see it, and have advocated the scheme from the commence ment of my labours on the western coast of Ireland, while I see no reason to abate one jot of evidence given in its favour, I believe, on the contrary, that all the fine-drawn arguments against it will disperse like the imaginary mists and fogs in which the western coast has been shrouded. Local parties will naturally magnify their peculiar advan tages ; but in the Lever' enterprise we see Englishmen —Manchester men men of shrewd commercial dis crimination, located near imperial Li v erpool, break ing through the mists of antiquated prejudice, and pitching their tents in the `City of the Tribes,' nearly a two-days' march in advance towards the West." " We live in a common sense age, when facts will rise .to the surface, and demand attention; and the day will yet come when we shall look backward with surprise that the advantage of a westerly position should have been so long neglected ; when even Liverpool will be content to receive and transmit its vast commercial correspondence with Ame rica and the West through Ireland—then no longer a mere breakwater to St. George's Channel." "Js there no disad vantage in having to breast 360 miles through a westerly gale ere the Liverpool steamer reaches the meridian of the western coast ?" If also we regard the western coast of Ireland as the Atlantic frontier of the British Isles,_ desti tute of defences or naval establishments of a n y kind what ever, is it not worthy of serious consideration?
