s IRELAND. LABOUR RATE ACT-MEASURES OF RELIEF. DUBLIN SEPT. 9.—Further evidence has been given by the Irish Government of a determination to carry out the " Act to facilitate the employment of the labouring poor" with promptitude and energy befitting the crisis, which has rendered such a measure quite imperative, as a means at once of employing and feeding the people. In the Morning Chronicle of Monday last there was a notification of twenty-four proclamations, issued by the Lord Lieutenant, for holding baronial meetings in eight different counties. The Dublin Gazette of last night contains' no less than 34 additional proclamations, for holding Extraordinary Presentment Sessions in as many baronies or half-baronies in the counties oj Clare, Cork, Kerry, Tipperary, Waterford, Galway, Leitrim, Mayo, Roscommon, Sligo, Donegal, King's County, Longford, Meath, and Limerick. Thus, the Government has given the initiative with all possible expedition, and it remains for the gentlemen possessing property in those several districts to second the execu tive in its efforts to meet the terrible emergency by cor responding measures for employing the people. In this case promptitude of action is, above all things, necessary, as well on grounds of humanity as with a view to pre serve the peace of the country. The new proclamations have reference to the following districts in which meet ings are to be held on the days named respectively:— CLARE. Barony of Moyarta, at Kilrusb, Sept. 18. Barony of Ibrickane, at Miltown Malbay, Sept. 19. Barony of Corcomroe, at Ennistymon, Sept. 21. CORK. Half-barony East Carbery, East division, at Clonakilty, Sept. 21. Half-barony East Carbery, West division, at Rosearberry, Sept. 22. Barony of Ibane and Barryroe, at Timoleague, Sept. 23. KERRY. Barony of Iveragh, Cahiiciveen, Sept. 18.

I have learned that eighteen additional applications have been made from as many baronies, or half baronies, so that a fresh batch of proclamations may be expected in the next number of the Gazette. The Earl of Glengall, vice-lieutenant of the county Tipperary, has received the following communication from Gavernment, respecting Extraordi n a r y Present ment Sessions in the baronies of Upper Ormond, Lower Ormond, and Owney and Arra " Dublin Castle, Sept. 3, 1846. "My Lord—l have the honour to inform your Lord ship that his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, in pur suance of the provisions of the Poor Employment Act, 10th Vic., cap. 107, of which a copy will be forwarded for your Lordship's information, has directed that Extra ordinary Presentment Sessions for the purposes of that Act shall be held at twelve o'clock at noon, on the days, and at the places, and for the several baronies following, viz..- Barony.

COUNTY OF MAYO.-MEETINGS OF THE GENTRY. The Mayo Constitution contains a long report of a meeting held in Castlebar, on Thursday last, pursuant to a requisition to the High Sheriff, to Consider the " awful calamity which had befallen in the total failure of the potato crop, and to adopt measures for the pre vention of starvation, &c., Patrick C. Lynch, Esq., high sheriff, in the chair. We observed on the bench Colonel. Gore, A. C. Lynch, J.P., Thomas Ormsby, J.P„ Wourtney Kenny, J.P., William Kearney, J.P., Valentine O'C. Blake, J.P., Rev. W. B. Stoney, F. C. 31‘Donnell, J.P., John Flynn, Fitzgerald Higgins, J.P., Edward M'Donell, Edward Deane, J.P., Rev. Messrs. Henry, Egan, O'Dowd, Corley, Browne, M'Greal, Hardiman, and several other clergymen, gentlemen, and merchants. `Colonel GORE came forward and said—Gentlemen, I was not aware of the intention to hold the present meet ing till last night, and am now merely on my route to Newport to visit my tenantry ; but as I am anxious to give every support to relieve the distress in this county, I came forward here, though unprepared I say, to relieve all classes, for distress knocks at the rich man's castle as well as the poor man's cabin. I mast state that I. as well as others, never signed the requisition calling this meeting, because we never heard of it ; and a county meeting forwarding resolutions declaring the distress of its inhabitants, and the need of measures to counteract the distress, should receive full and mature deliberation. I say this, laying aside all political difference in our en deavour to escape this fearful, yawning abyss which threatens our destruction—it should come from every man of influence in each of the nine baronies of our county, which would indicate to Government what our state is, and we must look forward also to what our state will be. I would, therefore, ask, what would the meet ing think of an adjournment ? If we could see such men as the Marquis of Sligo, who is most anxious for the good of the people, and who has done much to effect that good at our meeting ; if I could see Sir R. O'Donel, who has much to communicate on this absorb ing subject. I know they are only returned from Dub lin, when they were on this mission. We have also to look for salvation to an important measure—l mean the Drainage Bill—of which we at present know very little, but with which we should be well acquainted. This measure, from all I have heard, proposes to give us two and-a-half millions of money, to be repaid in 22 years, at six-and-a-half per cent., so that this I call an important measure, for it comes to this—if we don't make the lands more fertile, we cannot feed the people. You must either improve the present system and amount of cniti vation, or break up lands lying dormant since the flood, or encourage emigration to a large extent. This present system of taxation is a bad one ; the poor man is made to tax himself before ho can relieve himself ; whereas, if you take advantage of the Drainage Act, you cause him to improve his own holding, and thus better himself. . This must be done, for if we say that one acre of potatoes is equal to three acres of oats, you must grow the increased quantity of corn, to make up for the poor man's deficiency. Then by getting each mari to improve his land, and break up hitherto unculti vated portions, you will be able next year to have it fit to yield a crop which is absolutely necessary. Therefore, I -say, it is much better to improve the land, the neglect of which ought to make us blush fer shame, than expend money in cutting hills, and filling hollows. By this means all will be benefited—the land lord and the tenant. I therefore ask a system of agri cultural encouragement, and if the landlord be not able to support the people, it will be the duty of a paternal Government to aid in the system of emigration, and I as an indivsdnal will go as far as any one in allowing the poor to escape to a better land.—(Cheers.) I therefore now say, all must come forward or it will not do kfor if all assist to ameliorate the visitation of Providence, we will get over the d:lficulties.—(Cheers.) Utter ruin and destruction awaits despair, therefore I never despair. The advantages of success will be reaped by both sides —the poor and the rich ; and I, for one, am determined not to sleep on the subject. I therefore say that we ought to adjourn this meeting, that at our next meeting we may have the weight, influence, and voice of the county speaking trumpet-tongued our necessities and our wants, and they combined mus: and will have effect with the Government.—(Col. Gore here sat down amidst tre mendous cheering.). The Rev. Mr. EcIN rose to oppose the adjournment of the meeting. He said—l oppose the adjournment of this meeting to gratify the landlords. I will consent to it if the landlords go home with the promise of giving employment to the poor. Let me but go home with directions to employ the poor in the Coolcarney moun tains, who are actually starving. No, the landlor,ds will not meet to do any good for the poor, but to help each other. Colonel Gore talks of the Drairrige Act, arm] his not being able to see the Act—in Dublin I saw it pub lished in the Telegraph and Constitution newspapers ; but the landlords by this Act will be saddled with one half, as the poor man rated under 41. is exempt, and the landlords want to meet to have this law changed. We cannot expect anything from them, when agents in the neighbourhood of Castlebar have told the poor people whea asking for food and employment. " To go to hell, Int that they should get the rents. This is all we have So expect from the majority of landlords, and the curses, the agents. We want food and employment, and to ask for such we came here to-day. Colonel GORE thought that the public works would at owe b e recommenced, as the object in stopping them was to a; iovr time to make up the accounts, confused by mis maca;tem'nat, to the Ist September. Aft“ Wale discussion, resolutions were passed de scribint' the extreme distress in the county, and calling for a pox tion of the 50,0001. granted by Parliament. The mee t ') 'g , in accordance with the suggestion of Col. Gore, then a djourned until the 17th instant. COUNTY OF • MEATH.—At a general meeting of the relief conamittt IC of the baronies of Upper and Lower THE 'SUN,_ LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 12,-184 6 season. " Last year, when it appeared that a considerable portion of the food of the people had perished, we con • fidently anticipated that at the return of harvest the people would be restored to the enjoyment of their usual supply. We had, therefore, to provide for a present, but temporary, deficiency ; and our exertions for the relief of the people were adapted to such an emergency. " We did not then at all contemplate a remedy by pro ducing out of the ground a substitute for that which had perished; the temporary necessity would have passed away before such a remedy could have come iato opera tion. " All that was possible in the present distress was to accomplish a fair and economical distribution of the food which remained, supplying the actual deficiency by the purchase of foreign corn. " To effect this, it was only required that the labour ing population, who had lost their food, should be fur nished with more than ordinary resources in wages. The readiest and the most available means of affording such wages was found in the making and levelling of roads, other works of the like description; and such works were therefore, generally adopted. " These works, we conceive, to have been suited to the emergency, and highly useful for their temporary purpose. " But we feel called on to express our conviction that the present deficiency is not temporary, but permanent. None of us now entertain the expectation that next year's potato crop will put an end to our difficulties by supplying food for the people. • " We have to longer a temporary deficiency to meet, and we cannot rely on those expedients which were hastily adopted to meet a pressing, and, as it was hoped, a passing emergency. We are satisfied that a continued reliance on those expedients, so far from affording per manent relief, must inevitably aggravate the evils with which we are now threatened, and prove highly in jurious to the true interests of all classes. "For the question is not now of the distribution, but of the production of food. W e h ave no t now to relieve a temporary distress, but to make provision for the food of a people. " We cannot hope for the permanent supply of the deficiency of our home produce from the introduction of foreign corn, to be paid for by a tax on the land, which has ceased to be productive. " We cannot now look on any remedy as adequate or safe which does not aim at producing out of the ground a supply of food equal in quantity, and, if possible, superior in quality, to that which the ground has here tofore produced. " We are of opinion that such a remedy is to be found only in the employment of additional capital and labour on the land. It is to the united exertions of the landowner, the farmer, and the labourer that we must look for a substitute for the food which has perished. " To stimulate their energies, and to direct the appl cation of The capital, the skill, and the labour of these several classes to the increased cultivation of the land, afford the only means of escaping from the evils with which we are threatened. " Any measures which tend to divert to other objects the capital and labour which ought to be so employed, must, to a corresponding extent, withdraw it from that channel in which alone it can be really useful. " To anticipate the available resources of the country, and to compel or induce the outlay of them on public works not productive of food, or of any commodity which could be exchanged for food, must fearfully aggravate the dangers of our position. " Such, we are persuaded, must be the ultimate re sult, if the relief of distress in the ensuing year is to be effected by the continuance of the system of public works. " Under that system two classes, who have heavily suffered in their incomes—the landowner and the occu pier—are taxed for the relief of the national distress, which results from their peculiar misfortune. Their al ready lessened funds are taken away from them at a time when the increased application of capital to the ground is most essential to the national safety, and those funds are employed in withdrawing the strength of the labourer from the production of food, to expend it in a forced and unnatural extent upon works which, when completed, would leave him in a state of starvation as before. " But this system of relief tends further to discourage and paralyse the exertions of landowner and farmer still more than it disables them. If the man who is willing to employ additional labour on his own land, is also to be taxed for the support of those labourers whom his neighbour will not employ, he will he over-burdened, and will be driven to relieve himself. This he cannot do but by restricting his voluntary expenditure, and throwing his labourers, as well as his neighbours, upon the com mon fund, as the only means of equalising their burdens. Many who have employed additional labour already feel that they will be constrained to adopt this course in self-defence, if last year's system of relief be per sisted in. "On these grounds, while we are prepared cheerfully 'to undertake whatever burdens are necessary for the re lief of present distress, and to make every exertion which may be required to provide for the future support of the people ; and while we are willing and resolved, at all hazards, to provide, by public works, the promptest re lief for immediate and urgent necessity, we feel it our duty to deprecate the continuance of a system which tends to discourage the exertions of landlord and farmer, and to misapply the' labour of the people. And we earnestly recommend as the princip'e of future relief, the adoption of the maxim—` That the labour for which the land is compelled to pay, should be applied in developing the productive powers of the land.' " Private justice and public policy alike call for its adoption, for the preservation of the people, under the heavy calamity which it has pleased God to bring upon us. Believing that in free discussion will be found the best means of supplying a principle so essential to the national welfare, we shall direct the attention of our baronies to the subject, and we respectfully recommend it to your Excellency's consideration." DEPARTURE OF MR. O'CONNELL. The Tipperary Vindicator of this day contains the following : " Mr. O'Connell leaves Dublin to-day (Wednesday) for Darrynane Abbey, where he intends to sojourn for some weeks, to imbibe fresh vigour from his native mountain air, and to prepare for another cam paign for the benefit of Ireland. He will sleep in Monastereven to-night, and on to-morrow h e w ill pass through Roscrea and Nenagh,‘ on his way to Limerick, where he will dine and sleep to-morrow night. He is to be accompanied as far as Nenagh by the Head Pacificator. He is expected to arrive in Ne nagh between three and four o'clock to-morrow, and already we are rejoiced for the honour of our noble county to say that preparations are making to give him a ceade mile failtha, to show him that he lives and reigns the sole idol of a brave and determined people's political affections. On Monday the town council of Nenagh met, and unanimously voted an address to him, which is to be presented on Thursday. A vote of confi dence in his integrity, wisdom, and matchleas zeal as the great guide and leader of the Irish people, was also voted to him by that body." SUPPOSED MllEDER.—Thursday afternoon an in quest was held before Mr. W. Baker, at the Royal Pavi lion Tavern, 3ew-road, Whitechapel, respecting the death of a male infant, unknown, whose body was found in a water-closet, on Tuesday last. Mrs. Ann Burgis stated that she resided at No. 35, Lambeth-street, Whitechapel. On Monday last, while in the water- Closet at the back of the premises, she discovered the body of the deceased, and with the assistance of a neigh bour named Rose, she succeeded in recovering it shortly afterwards. Witness further stated that there was another water-closet adjoining theirs, which was an open one, and any person could gain access to it by passing through White Bear-yard, adjoining their pre mises. Mr. Carrington, a surgeon, in Leman-street, deposed that the body was a full grown male infant, it might have been dead four or five days. There was a large quantity of paper found in the month of the de ceased. The jury, at the suggestion of the coroner, returned a verdict of " Found dead." A EWE WORTH HAVING.—At Warmanbie, near -Annan, a Southdown ewe dropped, on the 7th February last, a fine lamb, which she carefully reared up till 17 t h July. In this there was nothing remarkable ; but the shepherd, in common with others, felt, indeed, surprised when the same animal gave birth to two fine tup lambs so late as the 31st ultimo, both of which are doing well. Dells and Fore, in the court-house at Kells, on Saturday, the sth of September, 1846, " to draw up a statement to be hid before the Lord-Lieutenant as to the nature of, the employment which ought to be provided for the poor `during the ensuing season," the Most Noble the Mar quis of Headfort in the chair, a report to his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant having been adopted, "recom mending as the principle of future relief the adoption of this maxim : —That the labour for which the land is compelled to 'pay should be applied in developing the productive powers of the land:" And the following suggestion having been read by the Archdeacon of Meath:— It was moved by JOHN FARDELL, Esq., and seconded by JOHN TISDALL, Esq., Resolved—That the suggestions now read be printed and circulated as soon as possible through, the baronies of Upper and Lower Kells and Fore. Moved by GEORGE BAMFORD, Esq., and seconded by the Rev. Mr. KERMAN, Resolved—That a general meeting of the three ba ronies aforesaid, be called for Monday, the 21st instant, to take the said suggestions into - consideration. Suggestions for promoting" measures of reli,ef on the principle " that the labour for which the land is com pelled to pay, should be applied in developing the pro ductive puwers of the land." It being generally agreed that a rate sufficient to pro. vide for the employment of labour should be levied in mil district, and that this rate should be paid by land lord and occupier, according to the poor-law valuation: It is suggested that instead of this money being taken from the farmers and wasted in useless and unproduc tive works, each person liable to pay this rate should have the option of expending it upon his own land in ad ditional labour upon works tending as far as possible to promote increased production of food. That the most suitable and profligate works in each locality would be best ascertained by inviting proposals from the rate-payers, each for his own land. Various other suggestions follow. The following is the report to theeLord-Lieutenant:— " TO HIS EXCELLENCY JOHN WILLIAM EARL OF BES BOROUGH, LORD LIEUTENANT GENERAL AND GENERAL GOVERNOR OF IRELAND. " We, the Central Relief Committee of the baronies of Upper and Lower Kells and Fore, having already, in our several local committees, reported to your Excel lency our operations arising from the failure- of last year's potato crop, are now desirous of submitting our unanimous opinion respecting the nature of the mea sures required to meet a yet more extensive calamity. " We have, in the first place, to express our convic tion that the case which we are now called on to meet differs, not only in degree, but also in the nature of the evil, from that which we had to contemplate last FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

The gentleman arrived from Carlisle by coach about half-past one in the morning, and intended going to the Harrow Inn. When he got to the High-street he turned to the left, and not knowing the street in which the inn was, he inquired of a man at South Gray's Close, who told him that by going down that close and along the Cowgate he would reach the inn. Mr. Brown (the traveller) did not observe the man who so instructed him follOw down the close after him. But scarcely had he reached the middle of it, when three men suddenly seized and dragged him into a house, which was dark, one of them holding him so firmly by his neckcloth, that he could not call out, and all of them threatening to murder him if he spoke. Immediately on getting him into the house, the ruffians threw their victim down on his face, and held him there. In an instant, another man, accompanied by two women, made their appearance. The latter seized Mr. Brown by the feet, while the former proceeded to rob him, the other three holding on as already described. In trying to resist, one of the men gave Mr. B. a tremendous blow on the side, on the nape of the neck, and also on the temples. They then turned their victim on his back, used most violent language, and threatened more violent deeds. They then rifled his pockets, and took from him a memoran dum and a cheque-book containing bills and bank-notes to the amount of 875/. They consist of cheques on the Bank of England, payable seven days after sight, one for 3001., one for 2001., one for 1001., and three for 501.; two bills, one for 121. and the other for 11/. 103. • and the remainder in 10Z and 5/. b an k no t es . It i s believed that the bills have been all burned. It is a wonder that therobbers should have allowed 10 sovereigns, which the gentleman had in one of his pockets, to escape their vigilance. When the ruffians had effected the robbery, thy ran out of the house, followed by the gentleman ; but he being stunned by the suddenness of the attack, and bewildered from not knowing where he was, they escaped. In pursuing them he called to the police; but from the place being in a back lane, a short time elapsed before an officer came, to whom he related the par ticulars of the robbery. Information was immediately given to the lieutenant on duty, and soon after, six men and two women of suspicious character were appre hended, but none of the money was found upon them. They have been remanded to '1 hursday for further ex amination. In the meantime payment of the bills and cheques has been stopped at the banks, and it is under stood that the officers of justice are in possession of such facts as will lead to the recovery of a considerable part of the property, and also to the conviction of the parties who have been apprehended. It is somewhat singular that, when the gentleman who was robbed was taken next day to the house in which the deed was perpe trated, he could not recognise the dwelling, and was only satisfied on seeing his carpet-bag, hat, and um- H in is h p is oc h k u e r t r -book was found lying not far 3 7 , he left on the morning of t b h r e el r la o , b w be h r i y ch . , from the house, having evidently been thrown out of a window.—Edinburgh Wee* Register. SANATORY CONDITION OF CAMBRIDGE. We beg to direct the attention of our readers to a letter, and to a few remarks on this subject which we made last week, and which some of our London contemporaries considered not unworthy of a more extended circulation. There is, we think, much truth and one or two useful hints in the letter of our correspondent ; and when the valuable doctrines of agricultural chemistry come to be better understood, we believe that agricultural improve ment and sanatory reform will go hand in hand. Thrift will protect us against pestilence. Much has already been accomplished in this important province. Our cities are no longer absolute accumulations of the filth of centuries. Years, as they roll on, do not, as they once did, deposit in our streets successive strata of unwhole some soil. We know one or two cases in which it has been actually ascertained that causeways bad risen in the course of successive ages till the ground-floors of the houses on each side had actually sunk down in cellars. This is no longer the case. The scavenger has in some measure superseded the doctor. Much of the refuse of our towns enriches our fields. And it must be con fessed that though not practically carried out to any great extent, juster ideas on this subject are beginning to prevail. Still there is much to be accomplished. Much that is valuable is still thrown away. It is not only lost, it is permitted to contaminate the atmosphere which we breathe, and to pour down a tributary pestilence into the streams which we drink. How many millions of money are thus annually wasted ! Why should a source of na tional treasure, equivalent almost in annual amount to the interest of the national debt, be permitted not only to lie waste—to remain unproductive, but even to poison the very air and water—to foster disease—to destroy, in stead of nourishing life ? Those very substances which, in a state of decay and putrefaction, exhale a periodical plague and destroy millions, might, in the hands of skill and science, and good husbandry, sustain millions. Th ere ... is an old Scotch proverb which says, and who can deny it ?—that " muck is the mother Of the meal-chest." Manure is a treasure. Why should this treasure be per mitted to accumulate around us—to stagnate under our houses—to disgust us in our streets—to smite us down with disease—to generate an everlasting, though insi diotis plague, by actually and constantly diffusing death around us, and swelling our tables of mortality, when a little thrift, a little common sense, a little wise pre caution, and very little science, would transform it into the golden fruit of an overflowing harvest ? Guano in deed I We have guano in our sewers—we are guanoed to death ; and yet we traverse the ocean to import what, in another form, is killing us daily and by inches in revenge for being neglected. Thanks to our corres pondent for this hint. We shall have more to say upon this subject, and on the subject of baths. Let it not be imagined that Cambridge is positively a pi , -sty. It is, we presume, much upon a footing in point of cleanliness with other English towns, Plough labouring, of course, under the peculiar disadvantage of being located in a dead fl a t.

It is a subterraneous calamity which we lament ; and we must agitate the institution of a sewage company to pump up this pestilence, and, with the touch of Midas, to convert it into national wealth and the staff of life.—Cambridge Advertiser. SHEEP HortNs.—An arrival of rather a novel cha racter has taken place by a vessel from Constantinople, which may be particularly noticed, even on acecunt of its extent—viz., the large number of 59,656 sheep horns. The sheep bred and reared in this country have, gene rally speaking, no horns, excepting the description known as rams, but it-may be judged that Turkish sheep are possessed of that particular feature, as the sarce. vessel brought several hundred packages of sheep and lamb skins, and, therefore, the horns may be con sidered as part and parcel of the same produce. Such an importation from Turkey appears to us to be very un usual and remarkable, especially to the extent men tioned in the present instance, NEWTON ABBOT, TUESDAY.—An examination took • place yesterday, before Mr. H. Cartwright and Mr. R. Flamank, magistrates of this district, relative to an affray which took place on Saturday night, between a party of poachers and the gamekeepers of Sir Walter I'. Carew, Bart., of Hac — dombe-house, in which a young farmer, William Setter, who was assisting the keepers, was shot by one of the poachers. It appeared from the evidence of the witnesses, that the principal keeper, Festus Harris, accompanied by the gardener, when pass ing by one of the preserves, on Saturday, heard the re port of fire-arms in such rapid succession as led him to conclude that a formidable gang of poachers were out. Fearing to encounter them albne, the keeper called to their assistance Mr. Robert Rendell, a neighbouring farmer, William Setter (the deceased), and four other persons. Guided by the reports, the keeper and his party proceeded to a spot called Blendfield, where they came up with the poachers, whose number, owing to the darkness of the night, they could not ascertain. The keeper's party having so disposed themselves as to pre vent escape, it was arranged that two should enter the field, and that the word " gate" should be the signal to those outside. Mr Rendelland the deceased had no sooner got into the field than they saw one of the gang making towards them with a gun in his hand. The signal was given, and whilst the keeper and the others were ap proaching, the pcacher (who was now recognised as a man named Henry Warren) was commanded by Mr. Rendell to surrender. To this ho paid no attention, but raising the gun (a double barrel) to his shoulder, he moved forward a few paces, when Mr. Rendell said, "We know you ; you had better not fire." Warren, perceiving he had no chance of escape, his party being some distance off, discharged one barrel at Setter and the other at Mr. Rendell. The unfortunate man fell, and Mr. Rendell, who had felt the charge pass close to his head, rushed in upon Warren, who made a violent re sistance, but was eventually secured, his companions having escaped. The wounded man, who had received the whole of the charge in his abdomen, was carried to the house of Mr. Elias Rendell, of Buckland, where he received such assistance as could at that late hour be procured. On the following morning the best surgical aid was obtained, but, there appearing no chance of his recovery, Mr. Cartwright, who was informed of the cir cumstances, attended and took his depositions, which were reduced to writing. Setter, after he had signed the depositions, never rallied, and expired on Sunday after noon. The prisoner was brought before the magistrate on Monday for examination. In addition to the facts above described, the surgeon who made the post mortem examination of the body stated that the wound was about_ two inches in length, from which the bowels pro truded. A number of small-sized shot were found in the entrails and the liver was exten s i ve ly l acera t e d. One of the links of a watch chain worn by the deceased was found in the stomach. Mr. Bendell stated, that after the prisoner was secured, he said he was very sorry for what he had done, and that he only wished that the gun had broken in pieces when he first took it into his hand. The prisoner, who made no defence, was fully committed for trial at the next assizes, on the charge of the " Wilful Murder" of William Setter, and another for shooting at Robert Rendell, with intent to kill, One of his associates has been apprehended and com mitted on a charge of poaching. This terrible affray has caused great consternation in the neighbourhood, where game is strictly preserved, but where there is a vast deal of poaching, the practice being rather favoured than resisted by the generality of the farmers, many of whom regard the game as an intolerable grievance. DREADFUL AND DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. (From the Liverpool Mercury of yesterday.) Since the awful calamity which destroyed the sugar orks of Messrs. Brancker, in Harrington-street, Li verpool has not been visited by a fire so alarming in its nature, and so destructive in its effects, as that which occurred last night, and which has resulted in the total desvuction of the works of Messrs. Macfle and Sons, sugar refiners. The building, which is now a blackened mass of ruined walls, is situated in Bachelor-street, Dale street, and runs from Bachelor-street to Orange-street, bounded at the south end by Hale-street. With the exception of one sugar-house in London, which is en tirely fire-proof; this was considered the safest in the kingdom. It was well and substantially built, and with machinery, cost the enormous sum of 40,0001. The fire broke out, as near as can be ascertained, about half-past six o'clock. The workseen, we b e li eve , h a d either left the premises or were preparing to take their departure ; and what randers the origin of the fire a mystery is, that five minutes before the flames were dis covered, Mr. Thebaven, one of the managers, who re sides in the presmises adjoining, states that he went through the works about half-past six, and at that time ho perceived no light, the men having left work at dusk. It was not the practice to use lights in the top stories. He then went into his own house, and in the course of three minutes an alarm was given. Rushing again into the works, he found them in flames. There was a hose on the premises; but the flames had proceeded so rapidly that it was impossible to connect it with the cistern. Although not a moment was lost, and the engines were soon got into play, such was the inflammable nature of the materials inside the sugar-house, well stored as it was with sugar anti molasses, that the flames had considerably progressed before any attempt could be made to prevent their spreading. In a very few minutes the roof fell in, and the flames rapidly extend ing forced their way downward from story to story with increasing fury. The building is seven stories high, exclusive of the cellar; and as floor after floor burst through, the flames roaring like a mighty torrent, rose to an immense height, threatening destruction to every building in the imme diate neighbourhood. Explosions occasionally took place, and were followed by the emission of dense masses of black suffocating smoke, against which the poor firemen struggled with more than prudent perseverance. Of course it soon became apparent that nothing of the building itself could be saved, and the only satisfactory way in which the efforts of the fire-police could be di rected was in protecting the surrounding property. Immediately opposite the fire, both in Orange-street and Bachelor-street, are situated a number of low-built houses, with courts at the back. These are tenanted by some of the poorest of the poor, principally Irish, who are crowded together in very miserable-looking hovels. The streets are very various and confined ; so much so, that the operations of the firemen were much impeded. So alarmed were the poor people at the anticipated spreading of the fire, and the consequent destruction of what fragments of furniture they possessed, that they shortly after the outbreak began to throw their things into the street, those on the west side passing them 1 through the courts and over the wall into Moorfields. The confusion and alarm which prevailed was great. Women in desperation rushed into their houses, calling for their offspring ; regardless of self, they passed through thick clouds of smoke and burning cinders to rescue their children, whilst their husbands tried, many of them in vain, to snatch from destruction a few articles of bedding. The whole of the streets for some distance off were lighted up as at noon day. The face of the exchange clock appeared as if illuminated, and even in Lord street the reflection of the flames was distinctly visible. ' Occurring at an hour when the workmen were at hand, a considerable quantity of property was saved. Parties acquainted with the premises continued to work as long as it was considered safe in the lower stories, and a large number of casks of molasses were taken away. Too much praise cannot be given to the fire-police for their great exertions. Mr. Dowling, the chief constable, was early on the spot, exerting himself and directing the energies of the force under him in the manner best cal culated to save life and property. Mr. Hewitt, who may be considered the practical superintendent, was, as usual, exceedingly active and energetic. Messrs. Whitt', Swinton, Boult, Barry, Dawson, Brodie, and Sutton, deserve special mention for the exertions used by them on the occasion. Mr. Macfie was also in attendance, and whilst the alarm was spreading that the walls were likely to fall, he expressed his belief, so substantially were they built, that they would stand. His expectations have been realised in the result. He displayed praiseworthy con sideration for the poor fellows who were risking their lives in preserving property, and urged the officers of police to be exceedingly cautious, and not needlessly throw themselves in the way of danger. As we have before stated, the building and machinery cost 40,0001. Taking its present value, however, at half that sum, and calculating the stock at 40,000/., which we believe to be pretty near the mark, it will require 60,0001. to cover the entire loss, to say nothing of the destruction to the furniture of the poor people, and the loss to the workmen (100 in number) who will unfortu nately be thrown out of employment. We believe the premises, stock, and machinery, were fully insured. _ _ On no occasion do we remember seeing so many per sons crowded together to witness a fire. Moorfields, where an excellent view was obtainable, was literally one moving mass of persons, whilst Dale-street and Tithe barn-street, were perfectly impassable. In North John street, a large concourse of persons was attracted by the flames, which rose a great height above the lofty build ingson the north side of Dale-street. Although, at one time, it appeared beyond the reach of human power to protect the houses on each side from the raging flames, we are happy to say that, at the hour of writing, there is no likelihood of their extending be yond the building in which they were discovered. To the stability of the walls this must be attributed • for, had they given way, the v e n t th us g i ven to the dames must have proved destructive to the whole of the houses on either side. The consequences such a calamity are too dreadful to contemplate. Although there were several rumours of personal ac cidents, none of them, so far as we could learn, have any foundation in truth, and this is very remarkable, consi dering the narrow space for the operations of the fire men, the men working the engines, and those engaged in preserving the property from the flames. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. THE CITY POLICE.—A remarkable scene took place yesterday. A labouring man named William Burke was put to the bar, and a man named Lockwood, the foreman of a gang of men who have been employed in making repairs on the premises of Messrs. Tegg, book sellers, in Cheapside, appeared upon bail to answer the charge of Burke. Inspector Waller, of the City police, stated that on the 18th of Au gus t th e h ouse o f Mr. Ledger, hat manu facturer, of Cheapside, was entered by thieves at the back of the premises in Pancras-lane, and robbed of cash to the am oun t o f 230 1 . On Thursday night Burke called in a state of intoxication at the station-house, and at ter expressing a desire to see the policeman who had been near the premises on the night of the robbery, and whom the Commissioner had discharged in consequence of neglect of duty, declared that Lockwood was the person who committed the robbery. Burke was de tained, and witness considered that under the circum stances the most proper course that could be pursued was to submit the case for investigation before the magistrate. Alderman WILSON having ascertained that Burke, whose manner was rather eccentric, was perfectly sober upon being brought up, desired him to say what he knew upon the subject. Burke said that he was one of tho men employed upon Mr. Tegg's premises to repair them, under the authority of Lockwood, the foreman, and that on the morning of the robbery he found a lamp rolled up in an old coat belonging to the foreman in the warehouse, and handed it to the foreman in the warehouse, who said, " Let it be." That lamp was found upon the premises, when it was discovered that the house of Mr. Ledger was plun dered, and he (witness) was sure it was the same. He remembered it was covered with mortar at the time. Alderman Wu.soer completely investigated the case, and found there was not the slightest ground for the charge of robbery against Lockwood, who, it appeared, had discharged - Burke and another of the men for drunkenness two days before. The Alderman declared that he did not believe one word that been uttered by Burke, and said that the foreman would leave the Jus tice-room without a taint on his character. Mr. Barnes, architect, of the Old Jewry, stated that he had bailed Lockwood, who had at once consented to have his lodgings searched, and showed in every possible way that he knew nothing whatever of the robbery. Mr. Ledger was satisfied that Lockwood knew no thing of the robbery. He then said he felt it necessary, as an inhabitant of Cheapside, to make a serious com plaint against the management of the City Police. On the night the robbery had taken place in his house, the policeman, under order to watch the neighbourhood, actually saw two men, who no doubt had just committed the plunder, jump over the palings into Pancras-lane, and run down the lane, and allowed them to escape, without having made any effort to check their flight. If the policeman had only sprung his rattle, the thieves must have been taken. He was given to understand that one policeman in this district having been taken ill his duty was divided between two others, who thus had to attend to increased labour, and had a responsibi lity of a severe nature placed upon them, which ought to have been filled by a reserved policeman. Why the inhabitants of the City should be subjected to the con sequences of so meagre a system of protection he could not see. It was quite absurd to suppose that a police • man, who had such -an extensive round to take, could effectively perform the duties required of him. The in habitants paid heavily for the police, and it was really Cenost serious affair that a robbery, such as had taken place at his house, should have been,perpetrated almost within sight of one of the force. Certainly the Com missioner had most promptly and vigorously investigated the case, and had discharged the negligent officer, but what satisfaction was that for the serious loss sus tained ? Inspector Waller, in answer to several questions put by Alderman Wilson, said that the Commissioner had dis missed the officer upon hearing the statement, and gave an account of the number of policemen kept as a reserve in the event of illness or other casualty, which was by no means satisfactory to the Alderman. Alderman WILSON, after having expressed great re gret at the necessity which existed for complaint, said the inhabitants must be aware that the Aldermen had now no control whatever over the police. Instead of having but a few men in reserve to meet any emergency, the force ought always to have at, least fifty to resort to. On the old ward system there were always numbers of men ready to fill up the places of those who were not able to attend. He was gratified at the conduct of Mr. Ledger in coming forward to make the statement to which he had up to that moment been a stranger, and he trusted that the facts disclosed would lead to an inquiry calculated to establish more completely the security of property in the city. Burke was then fined five shillings for drunkenness, and not being able to pay was ordered to be imprisoned for seven days, very much to the satisfaction of the bystanders. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

THE BUTCHER AND THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. —One day last week a rough-spun country butcher, whose travelling companion was a dog, took a ticket at one of the stations on the Midland Railway for Birming • ham. It was shortly afterwards ascertained by the officials that he had a dog in the carriage with him. On being remonstrated with, and told that ho must pay for the dog, he refused, and a regular row commenced, in the course of which the butcher got out of the carriage, and the dog followed. Here the disturbance was re newed, and the war grew fiercer, wherl all of a sudden the train started. The butcher, forgetting his indigna tion at the parties, turned round and jumped into his place again, followed by his dog. The train went on, the burley man of beef laughing as though his ribs would crack at having "done the beggars," told the whole affair to the passengers with glee, and concluded by saying that they might " tallyscope" about him, he didn't care ; he had done 'em, and they couldn't tell 'cm at Birmingham before he got there, he was sure. On the train arriving at its destination a gentleman , in a blue buttoned-up-to-the throat livery, with trousers, and sun dry hieroglyphics on his collar, touched the butcher on the shoulder, and said, " Sir, you have a dog with you, for which the fare has not been paid ; you must eithee fob out the needful, or I take you into custody." Ttir " tallyscope," as the butcher called it, had arrived at Birmingham first, and the poor fellow's feelings may be better imagined than described.—Nottingham Mercury. _ FINED FOR CONTEMPT OF THE CORONER'S COURT. Yesterday, at an inquest held at the Elephant and Castle, Camden Town, Mr. Tiffin, the summoning officer, reported to Mr. Wakley, that an egg-salesman, named John George Wickham, Pratt-street, had repeatedly re fused, though properly summoned, to serve in the Coroner's Court as juror. He did so again on Thursday evening, when summoned in the presence of a policeman to attend the present inquest, saying that he had more important business to look after. Mr. Wakley swore Tiffin to the truth of the the statement, and said that he should not be discharging his duty towards the jurors who served, it' he did not punish one who refused to do so in such an improper and contemptuous manner. He should fine him 405., and when the proper notice was served upon him, if he did not pay the fine, proceedings of a more serious nature would be taken against him. It was the first fine he had inflicted since his occupation of office, and he regretted that the aggravated circum stances of the case should compel him reluctantly to vin dicate by punishment a contempt of his Court. TTORSE STEALING BY A RAILWAY SUB-CONTRAC. , —On Thursday the police received information that an extensive robbery had been committed by John Dean, a railway sub-contractor, well known in the counties of Cambridge, Essex, Norfolk, and Sussex. From his sup posed responsible situation, he had no difficulty in bor rowing horses from various farmers for railway work, but at the termination of the engagement for the use of the horses, neither Dean nor the horses borrowed could be found. A reward is offered for his apprehension. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AT LONDON-BRIDGE.—Last evening, about six o'clock, as police-constable 30 M, was on duty on the Surrey side of London-bridge, he was informed that an old man was attempting to drown him self at the bottom of the boat steps near Tooley-street. He immediately ran to the spot, and just got to the bottom of the steps in time to prevent the old man from sinking, as he had jumped in between two boats. He obtained assistance,' and conveyed him to the police station, when he gave his name Qillinger, and state] that he was a pensioner. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE and the usual Bench of Magistrates.) ASSAULT UPON A POLICE-CONSTABLE.-011 Friday Charles Ruby was indicted for assaulting Edward Driver, a police-constable, in the execution of his duty. The prosecutor said that .he observed the defendant standing over a woman who was upon the ground, and that he interfered to preserve her from violence, when the defendant exclaimed, " It's my wife, and I shall do as I like with her." He then turned upon his], seized him by his person, kicked him in the side, and subjected him to further brutal usage. The defendant was not sober. The defendant said that he was having a word with his wife, and that he never in,,ulted the prosecutor, nor saw him before. The jury found him Guilty. The Learned JUDGE said that he must understand, and he wished it to be understood by every man of his class of life, that whenever they made an attack upon the privy parts of a constable they should be most se verely punished, for it might injure a man for life. It was well for the defendant that he had not kicked the constable there; or he would have had a much heavier sentence than he was about to pronounce, which was im prisonment with hard labour for four calendar months. A TEETOTALLER IN TROUBLE.—James Manning was indicted for assaulting George Andrews and several other constables on the 13th of August last ; and upon another count with assaulting James Kelly, landlord of the Red Lion public-house, upon the same day. The assault complained of was committed, it appeared, between ten and eleven o'clock on the night of the 13th of August, when the defendant. with eight or nine other men, came to the door of the Red Lion, exclaiming that he would fight any man in Cow-cross. He attempted to enter the public-house, but, upon being repulsed by the landlord, he laid hold of him by the neck, and pinched him so hard that he was speechless and almost breath less. A scuffle ensued, when, the constable Andrews coming up, he was given into custody ; but Andrews was as little respected as the landlord, and was most un mercifully beaten, having had his truncheon wrested from him by the defendant, who is a great, brawny Irishman, and beaten about his head till he was sense less. Several other policemen who arrived to his as sistance felt the effects of his herculean blows, and it was necessary to strap him doWn to a shutter before he could be secured. Mr. Kelly, the landlord 'of the Red Lion, said that as the defendant was heartily sorry for what he had done while very much intoxicated, and as his wife was near her confinement, he wished to withdraw the prosecution as far as he was concerned. The defendant said that he had been a teetotaller for three years, but having broken the pledge the effect upon him was very serious. Mr. HORRY, who appeared for the defendant, sgad that be (defendant) unfortunately got drunk through the birth of his first child, the christening of which caused him so much joy that it upset him, and ho forgot the pledge. He could receive a good character as a steady, well conducted man, that the Court i n p ass i ng consideration that h e was not o found uld j t aui him pc ea intoGuilty.sa d habitually a drunkard, and th a t th ere was noth i ng un manly in his 'conduct, inasm uc h as h e m i ght have con ,iclered that he was acting i n se lf d e f ence against the police while under the i n fl uence o f liquor.

The child in running about came in contact with the wheels of the cart, and before Mr. Perkins had time to pull up, the wheel passed over the child's thighs, breaking one in two places, and lacerating the other dreadfully. The little snffer was instantly conveyed to Middlesex Hospital, but recovery is scarcely looked for. TOR BANKRUPTS.

COURTS OF CONSERVANCY. THE NAVIGATION OF THE THAMES. Yesterday an adjourned Court of Conservancy was held by the Lord Mayor at Stratford, for the purpose of receiving a special presentment of certain encroachments and obstructions erected in Hole Harm, a navigable creek of the Thames, which separates Canvey Island from the main land on the Essex coast. At the last sessions of the Court the j/ had made a similar presentment, omitting, however, to state the names of the parties who had placed the obstructions in the creek. The Court, under these circumstances, re fused to receiv e th e presentment, and d i rected the City solicitor to prepare a presentment and summon witnesses to show who had erected the nuisances complained of, and yesterday the jury assembled at three o'clock, having previously again viewed the creek. The Lord Mayor attended to preside, assisted by the Town Clerk, who, in the absence of the Recorder, charged the jury, who having examined the witnesses named on the back of the bill, returned to the Court, finding that the obstructions in question had been placed b*y, or under the direction of, William Hilton, Esq., the treasurer of the Commis sioners of the Canvey Island, and it is understood that the Commissioners intend to justify the placing of the breakwaters in the creek, under the authority of the Act of Parliament. The Lord Mayor then proceeded te Greenwich, where the Court of Conservancy for the county of Kent was held. The jury, after retiring for about an hour, re turned into Court, finding true bills against the Patent Fuel Company and the proprietors of two charcoal works on the Thames, for a nuisance in discharging deleterious refuse of the works into the Thames. They likewise made presentments against the owners of the tanyard in Deptford Creek, for choking up the channel with refuse tan ; and also against the proprietor of 'Deptford Pier. The Town Clerk thanked the jury for their attendance, and was about to discharge them, when the Lord Mayor desired to know whether they had any observation to make about the Garden Stairs Pier ? They stated that they had no presentment, and after having inspected the pier they returned, and said that the jury could not agree in a verdict, whereupon the jury were discharged, and the Court adjourned at a late hour A WITTY PRISONER.—Not long since, the chapl a in of one of our state prisons being engaged in preparing a table of crime, held the following dialogue with a pri soner. Chaplain : Well, what brought you here ? Prisoner : The sheriffs, Sir. Chaplain : But I want to know if liquor had anything to do with it ? Prisoner : Oh yea, sir, they were both drunk I—American Paper. Many of the slaves escape from the French West Indian islands to the nearest free island under the British crown.
