IRELAND. CLONMEL ELECTION. RET . URN OF THE HON. CECIL LAWLESS. (From the Chronicle.) CLOT z MEL, SATURDAY EVENING.—I have ; just time to apprise you th a t th e son o f one o f Ireland s truest pa triots has been elected to serve in Parliament for this fine to wn. Of Mr. Lawless personally little or nothing was Ic nown here. The fact, however, of his being Lord Clone urry's son was a recommendation, in the opinion of du) burgesses, of the strongest possible character. At, ele yen o'clock his worship the Mayor, as returning officer, 'repaired to the Court-house for the purpose of holding the election. I noticed near the bench the Rev. Dr. Bu rke, Aldermen Kelly and Hackett, Town Ce,un.. cillort. Kenny, Edward O'Neill, Ginton, Corcoran, Bra.- sett, :Messrs. P. O'Neill, Counsellor Murphy (the 'retrArn ing c,fficer's assessor), Dominick Ronane, E. o"6hraugh riessi 3y , &c. Tee galleries were densely crowded, ever, though it wind market-day. The precept was read by the Town Cie' ,ele, after which The MAYOR (Mr. Bianconi, proprie,cor of the cele brate d car establishment) said the d sty would now de volve on the burgesses of electing a representative in Parfament in the room of the -I) 4lit lion. Mr. Pigott, Intel:, elevated to the judicial 'keench. He was therefore ready to hear any gentletnae who wished to propose a auce4tasor to that gentlemav The Very Rev. Dr. Mr AKE, parish priest, then rose, and 'was warmly receive d. The reverend gentleman re viewed the condition r,f Ireland, socially arel politically, during the last 'nail 'century, regretted the misery under which the r.•ople laboured—trusted that a better state of things w' s about to (Ilan on Ireland—and, as a con vincing pr oof that the Rptnan Catholics did not desire ascendan ey, or that they were opposed to aristocracy, especial) y when its members were devoted to the pros perity. , af their country and their kind, instanced the fact, pros perity. though candidates wiere plentiful, and might be easily procured, nevertie.aess, they (the Roman Ca tholi eonsituency) had rraet that day for the purpose of t'leceing a Protestant r epresentative, in the person of the lion. Cecil Lawles.„ a gentleman, too, of high ariss tocratic bearing—bue, of the right sort. Alderman HACK - a : TT , in briet' but energetic terms, se conded the noinio ation. The usual per . .od having elapsed, and no other candi date having F / A ar , proposed, the Mayor declared t"aa Hon. Cecil I aswless duly elected to serve in the T iraperial Parliament for the borough of Clonmel. Thrrie cheers were then given for the Mayor, Lord Cloncur ry, repeal of the tr' .lion, Mr. O'Conn e ll, & c . Thee Aayor having vacated the chair, anAl 1)r. Burke having, been called thereto, the marked and especial thanks of the burgesses (on the rnoti oe. of Alderman liack,ett, seconded by Town-Council 10 O'Neill), were acco riled to Mr. Bianconi for his unw.earied exertions in the cause of Ireland, and more particularly for his an: ,tiety at all times to preserve th,e independence of Clon rat :1. The return was afterware,,signed by many electors le the judges' chamber, and '..hns terminated the election of a Member for Clonmel. Mr. Lawless, who is ira Scotland, published no address, nior has any cornmunic•ation whatever been received from ',him. This apparent indiffr,rence had, for some days, caused the deepest disseaisfaction ; but the friends of ,Ir. Lawless explrained the matter by stating that that gentleman had TAW, been apprised of his selection as a candidate, in e.on.sequence of the shortness of the inter• canning time. OPEN-AIR MEETINGS OF THE PEASANTIrf, DtnriN, SEPT. 13.-4 beg your attent;_on to ti'. e frA. /lowing important proceedings in th.e cour4ty of I!anerick, 'where the movement of the peasantry ;_s conilucted, even :according to the accounts in the'Tori ravers, with order and tranquillity:— LIMERICK, SEPT. 12.—P ursr A ant to notices posted on all the chapels in the bar ony of Kenry, a meeting was held on Thursday at C'Jur.-hill, in this county, for the purpose of calling or, tlyi landlords to assemble and try by every means in their power to avert impending fa mine. On arriv; _ng at Court-hill and Court-bridge, at one o'clock, or .r reporter saw a multitude of near 4,000 persons, .uding women and children.

(..k,x, Quartermaster -General, from this garrison, lined. the road-side banks, being held in reserve for pre eau'Acal, but did not approach the meeting. At; one o'clock the Rev. TIMOTHY FOLEY, P.P., of Stonehall, was called to the chair. lie said the present meeting was convener"( for the purpose of inducing the landlords to come forward, and as far as lay in their power to assist in - mitigating the present distress. He , continued to say that the general failure of the potato crop was proba!oly a wise dispensation of Providence, and he hoped ;.a the end would turn out for the best. He warned all Voose persons assembled to go home peaceably and quietl..), when the meeting was over, and on no ac eount to Csrink intoxicating liquor. The Rev. Gentleman throurli(out was cheered by the multitude. ' ll '.'e Rev. Mr. TUO3IY, R.C.C., then proposed the fol low:hag resolution:—" That we, the inhabitants of th' barony of Kenry, have assembled here this day v2ea'.:e -sably, legally, and constitutionally, for the express pur pose of sending our humble petition to our most 'Gracious r.:3overeign the Queen, informing our Sovereir ai and her (councillors of the impending famine, and the distress .consequent thereon." The Rev. Gentlenrs.n. stated that lit was said the Irish people were ungrateful, but he lbore willing testimony, as far as his ov al experience led 'him, to contradict the assertion. Fie hoped that the ?landlords and Government w0u1...t do what they could :and at once to allay the fearful distress, and concluded :by proposing three cheers for, th e " Queen and Prince „Albert," which were heartil-f responded to. Mr. J. SHEEH Y seconde'4 the resolution. T.

After proposing the resolution , Mr. Rose said he would be most happy in co operatint: w ith t h e landlords of the district, and he earnest) ,y hoped they would acquiesce in the spirit of his resolut.lon.--(Cheers.) Mr . M. FITZGERALD, of Pallaskenry, seconded it. MI:. M. Porrsa, Spring-lodge, proposed the third :resolution—" Th at we do respectfully call on the Lord :Lieutenant of Ireland to order a baronial meeting for 'this our barony, to adopt means to carry out the provi %dons of the 10th Victoria, to give employment to a atarving population." Mr. Potter then said be would mot ask a penny from any man who had potato ground from him this year whose crop had failed--(Cheers)-- nor would he see s a neighbour of his want - while he had a pound in th-J. world.—(Great cheers.l Ile knew the Earl of Besb eitough was inclined to do good, and he earnestly b.cr i ed the landlords would co-operate with the Governwer,t—and he would be happy in giving them his hearty F u.pport.—(Cheers.) Mr- JOHN O'REOAN, Repeal Warden, Pallaskenry, seconr%ed the resolution. M .r. Jos& MArioNv, R.W., Castletown, proposed the 4th resolution, "That the thanks of this meeting be giw in to the landlords, gentry, and farmers of this dis trit t, who came forwtred so liberally last year with sub iptions in aid of Vie distress, and particularly to those gcsatlemen wh.o rive employment to their tenantry." Mah ony p ar ti cu l ar i sed General Caulfield and Mr. Etepheu 'e Item, Mr. ' ony WILLIAM RICHARDSON stood up and said that the P.everend. William Waller ought to be mentioned as 'well a s them, as he was always most forward in re %erring distress, and devoted two days each week in at tending his loan office, besides what private charity he bestow ed. Tb e CHAIRMAN, to restore harmony, said it was in vidr.ous to mention names. Itefr. 'roux M . NAMARA, R. W.

Mr, FOLEY, on leaving the chair, again warned Ulf , People, assembled, in the most emphatic manner, to home soberly and quietly, which they all said they would. ; and we are happy to say they kept their word, far out of the immense crowd there was not one man ob served drunk. 'Head -constable O'Malley and the police from the se ea rat district stations were in attendance, but had no co casion whatever to interfere, as the greatest order and dt vorum prevailed. The Limerick Chronicle, a Tory paper, contains the following : —. 4 On Thursday last a large assemblage, chiefly co-,nposed of the labouring classes, took place on the sunr.nit of Knockfirinch. This hill is situated to the southw and of the road leading from Croom to Bailin garry ,:and about mid-way between those towns. As Ibis 'meeting was called by means of anonymous notices, NOM a danger to the peace of th;! district was apprehended, anal the police, under Inspector Smyth, were on the Ffound at an early hour. No dispcsition to violate the 'law, however, was manifested, and the parish priest, Ar~:hdeacou Fitzgerald, having appeared o n th e groun d about t wo o'clock', prevailed on the assembled multitude t 4 adopt with 'perfect unanimity the resolutions which aPPoar elsewhere in our columns, and which, on the whole, sire characterised by good sense and moderation. The tadeting gave loud cheers for the Queen and Daniel O'COPIA11. 1 " ' .:RELIEF MEETING IN GALWAY. GALWAY, SEPT. 12.—Pursuant to a requisition, the high-sheriff, Lachlan M'Lachlan, Esq., convened a meet. his bailiwick at the Town Court-house, yesterday. The; HIGH SHERIFF, on taking the chair, expressed his Rens° of the importance-of th; meeting, and a hope thf.t _the procexlings woul4 be:carrie4,oti with unanimity aiegcurugi,4o as tp ensure duo,regard to thei r re 'Pests in the proper quarter. JAMES STEPHENS, E3q.. was requested to act as seere tar.Y. Ile produced the Treasury minute, aul said h- Wea sorry that the public works had not been continued under the Ist of Victoria, by which half the expense would involve on the Government. According to his es timate there would be no less a sum than six millions of money required to feed the people during the ensuing year, and he for one was an advocate for having the grain kept in the country, and for applying for public works on which to employ the people, and thus enable them to purchase food. He pointed out the Claddagh Quay as a most useful project. There were six others of great utility in the town and country. Mr. Stephens read a Treasury minute approving of the Claddagh Quay as an excellent project. J. IRELAND, Esq., J.P., proposed the first resolution, &ling upon the Lqrd-Lieutenant to issue a proclama tion for a presentment sessions under the recent statute; which being seconded by the Rev. A. 11. MARTYN, P.P., passed unanimously. The latter . gentleman e xpressed _ u his fears for the safety of the people in th e aw f ul emer gency of the gags, sad mid 084 On PeoPie 9f his Milli 6 • .4 h. :oes they had grown for were willing to give all the po the payment of poor-rate. W. D. GRIFFITHS, Esq., J.P ~ proposed the next re solution, praying for the - rest Lmption of the works re cently discontinued, with the view, as he supposed, to allow the corn crops to be cut clown. F. COMYN, Esq., J.:P., sec( ended the motion, which, being put from the cLair, passed nem. con. L. S. taA. - sa.t.v, Fsq., T.C., proposed the resolution respecting the erecution of the Lough Corrib drainage and navigation, and the opening up of the coast line of Connemara, accordingito the plan of the late Mr. Nimmo an 7 ,l others. A labouring man here expressed a hope that, when the works were resumed, advantage would not be taken of the poor to compel them to work for so low a rate of wages as 10d. per day. The resolution passed unanimously. Rer. JOHN D'Ancv next addressed the meeting, and pointed out to the county gentlemen the necessity of making a great line of road between Galway and Bailin asloe upon improved principles, so as to level the hills and fill up the valleys, a resolution in favour of which, itt moved the adoption of. JOHN FYNN, Esq., Bal[ymagibhon, seconded tlAt mo tion, but was in favour of having a railroad cor,..structed, which would give labour to thousands, and n, ttleh could afterwards be sold to a company. Mr. D'Aftcv had no objection to alter 4aQ terms of the resolution according to the suggestiur. Fynn, and being so put it was carried, A Committee meeting was subs,Jqtrently held, at which several of the landed proprietors e 2 Mayo and Galway were present, for the 'purpose i)f receiving assents to the proposed works on Loughs C'etib, Mask, and Carra. THE IRISH POOR-L,AW—THE DISTRESS. The Poor.law Coeranif sioners have issued the foilow. ing important documen'„, in the form of a circular to the various unions. - The - subjoined has been received at the Lishurn union.. Thr.: object of the Commissioners is to render the . e7..istinv . , poor-law us extensively available as that very 7.alperfect and insufficient measure is capable of, at the present emergency " Pool-law Commission -office, Dublin, 10th September, 1846. Jtr,—Adverting to the information received from fly - , board of guardians regarding the state of the potato '..;rop in the Lisburn union, I am directed by the Poor law Commissioners to express their deep regret that the report of the guardians is to so great an extent unfa vourable. " The Commissioners anticipate, in. consequence hereof, a great increase of poverty and distress among the labouring population of the union ; and it is their earnest wish that those means. of affording relief which the law has placed at the , disposal of the guardians should be made available, to the utmost practicable extent. " They recommend, t:nerefore, that the guardians should promptly bring trader review the subject of their contracts for provibions and other supplies, the present state of their stocks 'ar bedding and clothing, and the general state of their 'finances, so as to be prepared, in due time, for any 4st:cession to the number of inmates, which the preFeatt circumstances of the union render probable. " In ma'Air g such preparations, the Commissioners urgentl:, ad - rise and call upon the guardians to base the estim:ates for their financial and other arrangements, on thr, aatumption that the whole accommodation which fee workhouse affords will be placed in requisition dtr..ing a considerable period, commencing from the dose of the present autumn. The means of relief placed at the disposal of the guardians being limited, it will be a source of satisfaction hereafter, both to the public and to the guardians themselves, if nothing be left undone to make the utmost use of those means, so far as may be found necessary, especially in the relief of the primary objects of the Irish poor law—aged, infirm, or otherwise disabled persons, to whose relief the recent measures of Parliament, enacted for the employment of labour, apply only in an indirect manner, and who may therefore be expected to form the class most liable to destitution in consequence of the pre sent calamity. " What number of inmates may be safely and properly accommodated in each department of the workhouse is a question upon which the guardians will not fail to con sult their medical officer, from time to time, as occasion may require. " With reference to any change of the workhouse dietary, which may become desirable, through failure of a supply of sound potatoes, the Commissioners call the attention of the guardians to their sealed order of the 27th October last, which remains in full force, au thorising such departure from the prescribed form of dietary as to the guardians, subject to the approval of the Commissioners, shall seem fitting and expedient.l " The assistant-commissioner, in superintendence of the union, is specially instructed to afford the guardians on this occasion all the assistance and co-operation it may be in his power to give. —I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " B. BANKS, Clerk First Class. " To the Clerk to the Guardians, Lisburn Union." lation had remained uncontested. To agriculture, and agriculture alone, that tax cost more than forty million francs a year, and that solely for the profit of the owners of forests and coal mines, without a single penny of it entering the coffers of the State. As to the cotton manufacturers, their Chairman and the honourable manufacturers by w!aom he was sur rounded, and who were listening t..) him (M. Duperron), well knew that they paid for te ..xes on the raw material they used, independently of iron and coal. Did they be lieve that it was by quietly sleeping behind their pro tective tariffs that they would be able to oppose free trade England in f:,v4tien markets ? England was not asleep ; she haA ieoneattacked them by differential duties and proter.:tivt imports of all sorts, and France had parried with f.!ne same weapons, to the misfortune of both countries. lireiv, in spite of the cries, and the rage and fury of ner agricultural producers, England has opened her "ports to the grains of all countries, and consequently to tke products of every industry. She attacks all rivality by liberty. Let them reflect on that. That was a powerful flag ! It was not they who were to be taught that. There was but one method in the world of subduing the diamond ; it could not be cut but by the aid of the diamond ; in the same way, it was only by the aid of liberty that liberty could be resisted. Let them have confidence in that and in themselves, and they would succeed ; and if they followed the road that their Chairman advised them, they would be bc aten and driven from every market in the world by low prices, and they would perish and succumb under the blows of freedom. We advise the defenders of protection through out France well to consider these few remarks of M. Anisson Duperron. They show how extensive and how rapid has been the progress of free trade principles in that country—principles which will, it is to be hoped, incite her to more peaceful emulation vs ith England than has hitherto been the case. PROGRESS OF FRENCH MINING INDUSTRY. SUPPLIES OF FOOD. LIMERICK, SEPT. 12.L-ihe Alban steamer dis charged " bread stuff" this day at the quay, and the Pluto returns to Tarbert with a supply of coals for the Stromboli. The Paris correspondent of the Mining Journal gives the fallowing sketch of the progress and present position of the French iron trade : The Stromboli steam-frigate, Captain Fisher, has ar rived at Tarbert, from Cork, with a full cargo of "bread stuff 4," for the Commissariat in this city, which are being transferred to the Alban and Pluto Govern ment steamers, and landed at the quays here. The Stromboli from eleven until one o'clock on Monday, op posite Whitebay, Cove, fired 68-pound shot and large shells, at a target moored off Rostellan, a distance of two miles. The bursting of the shells in the air had a grand effect. A glance at the gradual growth of this monopoly of iron and iron monopoly, may not be uninteresting. In 1781 the duty on the importation of iron in bars was only two francs the metrical quintal ; in 1806 it was raised to four francs. No duty whatever was exacted on cast iron. Up to 1814 this protection was found sufficient by the ironmasters of France, although during nearly all that time, Belgium being part of the French empire, they had to contend against the overwhelming competition of the Belgian ironmasters. On the establishment of peace I England and Sweden sent in about 6,000,000 kilo grammes of iron. This frightened the French so much that notwithstanding Belgium was separated from their country, they demanded the entire prohibition of foreign iron for two years, and the subsequent adoption of such duties as should enable their iron to be sold in compe tition with foreign. Accordingly a law, dated the 21st of December, 1814, fixed at 2 francs 20 e ints the 100 kilogrammes, the cast-iron and iron en gueuses, and at 16 francs 60 cents the iron in bars. The law was adopted with great regret as a temporary measure. In 1822 the duties on cast iron was raised to 8 francs 80 cents the 100 kilogrammes ; and on iron from coal to 27 francs 50 cents. At the current prices of the day of English iron the 16 francs 60 cents duties were equivalent to from 751. to 801. per cent, that is to say, the French consumer paid 1751. to 180/. for what he could have re ceived from England for 100/. ; at the increased duties of 1822 the increased tax upon the consumers was equal to 150 per cent. By means of these duties not less than 31,000.000 francs annually were levied from the con miners. The iron masters, however, contended that they did not receive all that amount, but that the wood sellers obtained the greatest part of it. Whatever truth there was in that statement, an inquiry took place, and the consequence was a reduction of one franc in the duty on cast iron and one-fifth of the duty on iron. In 1834. the Government caused a reduction of five francs per 100 kilogrammes to be made in the duty on iron from coal, with the intention of subsequently making still greater reductions. In 1835 a further red❑ction of one fifth of the duty on iron from coal, and of one franc on cast iron, was carried into effect by royal ordinance, and an intimation was given that it was desirable to reduce by one half the duty on foreign rails. I❑ the subsequent session an attempt was made to reduce the duty on iron from coal 25 per cent. ; on iron from wood 20 per cent. ; on cast iron 2 francs the 100 kilogrammes ; and to admit foreign rails at 5 francs the 100 kilogrammes. These sweeping i eductions were, however, not accepted ; but the mere proposition of them frightened the ironmasters into promising that, before long, iron should be as cheap in France as it ever had been in England—that it should be sold at 120 francs (4/. 165.) per ton. But time went on, and no reduction took place. In 1841 the complaints of high prices having become general, the Government convoked the Councils General of Commerce, and asked if, with due regard to the interests of the ironmasters, some reduction could not be made in duties equal to 70 per cent. on cast iron, and 110 per cent. on iron ? " Not yet," replied the Council, in which the ironmas ters were in a majority. " When then?" asked the Go vernment. "In six years, perhaps," replied the iron masters ; "but a duty must always be maintained, for France will never be able to struggle against the compe tition of neighbouring nations." " Cannot you." said the Government, " make a temporary reduction in fa vour of railways, or let in foreign rails, &c., duty free?" " Can't reduce a farthing," said the iron masters, " and as to admitting foreign rails, it is not to be thought of." On second thoughts, however, they very graciously pleased to promise to consent to a slight reduction, when iren rails in France should be 417 francs the ton, and in England only 200 francs. As to what took place the last time the council was assembled, no • thing was said about a general reduction of these scan dalous duties on iron, and your readers will remember that, even as regards the oppressed shipping interest, the ironmasters proposed to withhold all relief. The ques tion now is, will the present Chamber allow the present monstrous duties ? 'Will it permit railway companies to pay 385 francs and 400 francs the ton for rails, when they can be got in England for 230 francs and 250 francs ? Will they allow the entire population of the kingdom to continue to be heavily taxed for the benefit of a class which has already obtained millions ? TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

NAILERS' STRIKE.—A FACT FOR THE MONOPO LISTS.—During the agitation for the repeal of the corn laws, it was frequently charged upon the advocates of repeal that they were influenced by selfish motives only ; that, being of opinion that a reduction in the price of food would necessitate a reduction in the wages of labour, they advocated repeal to obtain the reduction. In vain did the Leaguers declare they were influenced by no such motives ; that wages did not de pend upon the price of food so much as on the relative pro portion the supply bore to the demand ; and that, as far as experience could be applied to the solution of the question, it proved that instead of high priced food and high rates of wages going hand in hand together, the reverse was the fact. We believe we are correct in stating that at no former period has the general rate of wages in all the branches of the iron trade been higher. This remark also applies to colliers and others employed in mining operations ; and considering the price of all the necessaries of life, the condition of these classes must be materially improved, or rather would be, if temperance more generally prevailed. If we take any district of the kingdom, and classify the varying rates of wages of the different employments, and inquire into the fluctuations which have taken place, we shall find that portion of the com munity, of any given locality, which is worst paid, is the last to obtain an advance of wages, and the first compelled to submit to a reduction. Such is the case of the nailors—the worst paid of all artizans in the locality in which they dwell. During periods of de pression the nailors invariably suffer to an extent un known in other trades of the district, and through the late one, which began in 1839, a reduction amounting to 20 per cent. on the list of prices by which their work was reckoned took place. During the past two years they have been gradually reducing the rate of discount, which has been abandoned some months, and now the men have sent to the masters a new list of prices, and given a fortnight's notice that they will not work unless these prices are given. The notice expires on Saturday next. The new list will advance the rate of wages from 10 to 20 per cent. Whether the men will obtain this advance a very short time will show. We think ;hey will; for though great numbers of nailors will now be returning from harvest work, which will increase the supply of labour, yet the demand for men in the iron works and mines is so great, that should they fail to obtain their demand at once, many of them will be en abled to obtain other employment, and to wait till their request is acceded to.— Worcestershire Chronicle. THE SHREWSBURY PROTECTION A ssomerioN.— (From a Correspondent.)—The agricultural protec tionists of Shrop s hi re h ave j ust h a d a gathering at Shrewsbury, which onl v served to illustrate the weak ness of the party, and to strengthen the hands of the anti-monopolists. The meeting was held at the Raven and Bell Inn, Shrewsbury, and notwithstanding the efforts made to induce a full attendance, and the publication of placards and advertisements, there were scarcely more than fifty persons present. An attempt had been made very industriously to per suade the tradesmen of the city that their interests were with the protectionists, and a sort of threat was held out that unless they supported that interest the farmers wou ld not d e al with them, but the ruse had not its desired effect, there not being more than half -a-dozen present at the meeting. It should be observed too that this, the annual meeting of the Shropshire Protection Association, was appointed to be holden about a month since, but the attendance on the day appointed being excessively meagre, it was deemed advisable Cto adjourn the meeting for a time, and to make a move ment in the interim, with the view of getting up a de monstration. That this object has signally failed the protectionists themselves are most reluctantly hound to acknowledge. The speeches delivered on this occasion were fall of miserable croakings and anticipations of imaginary evils.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. APPREHENSION OF A GANG OF THIEVES.—The court was literrlly besieged by tradesmen desirous of hearing the examination of four persons, charged with having in their possession a large quantity of property, the pro duce of many robberies committed on shopkeepers in the metropolis. The names given by the prisoners, all of whom, with the exception of the woman, are well known to the police, were John Walker, John Franklin (a young man of colour), John Williamson, and Mary Tilney, otherwise Walker. It appeared that the police for some time past have had their eye on a house situate No. 3, Chapel-street, Soho, and a strict watch was placed on the movements of certain of the inmates. The evidence of police-constable Mornet, C was first taken. He said, on Monday morning, about nine o'clock, he was on the watch, when he saw Walker leave the house No. 3, Chapel-street, where he lived, and shortly afterwards he saw Williamson go in, fol lowed by Franklin, who had a bag with him. Walker returned soon afterwards, and witness noticed that the woman Tilney came to the door and looked out once or twice. Williamson and Franklin then came out of the house, and witness and other constables who were with him immediately took both into custody. Police-sergeant Gray, C 10, corroborated the state inent of Mornet as far as it went. After taking the two prisoners into custody, he went to the house No. 3, Little Chapel-street, and on asking which was Walker's room was told to go up to the two-pair back. Witness went up stairs, and found Walker and the woman Ttlnes in the room. In the fire-place were two pieces of wood, with marks on them, being burnt. Witness told Walker he must take him into custody, to which Walker an swered it was a had job. Police-sergeant Whall, C 16, said he saw Gray take the two pieces of wood now produced from the fire place. As soon as Walker was told he was in custody he said it was a bad job. Witness asked him where the cloth was ? Walker said there was some cloth in a place which he pointed out, and said some cloth had been left there that morning. Witness searched the place, and found a considerable quantity of cloth and other property, all of which witness believed was stolen. Among the :articles found we re a pi ece o f silk :serge, a lady's riding habit, two torn labels, and some coins and medals. Mr. Superintendent Beresford, of the C division, said there were owners for nearly all the property found in Walker's rooms. Six cases at least would be brought forward, and he should commence with one that affected ail the four prisoners. Mr. Gordon, of' the firm of Walker and Gordon, drapers and tailors, Blackfriars-road, said the roller now produced had the marks of the firm on it. The serge found in Walker's possession was the property of the firm, but witness could not, without referring to the books, state when it had been seen safe in the warehouse, but witness was not aware that the serge was missing until made acquainted of the fact by the police. Mr. O'Brien, who attended professionally for Walker, cross-examined this and the other witnesses, but did not shake the material portions of the evidence. The first case, however, not being sufficiently complete, the further hearing was postponed till the next examination. As there was nothing beyond the mere circumstance of the woman Tilney passing as Walker's wife, and being found in a room in which stolen property was placed, Mr. Harwick decided on liberating her, and she was discharged accordingly. The next case was against Franklin and Williamson, for stealing a piece of cloth from the shop of Messrs. Madsen and Co., tailors, No. 42, Conduit- street. Welter Fisher, porter to Messrs. Macken and Co., said on the 25th of June, on his return from breakfast, he saw Franklin in Conduit -street, and immediately after wards he noticed the prisoner Williamson cross the street with a bag on his shoulder. Suspecting something wrong, he went into the shop and - missed an end of cloth, which was safe before he left' to go to his breakfast. He ran out and pursued a cab, into which Williamson had got with the property, and stopped it near St. George's Church. He told the prisoner Williamson he wanted to see the goods in the bag. The prisoner Williamson told him he was welcome to look at the property, and got out of the cab as if to assist him. While witness was untying the bag the prisoner Wil liamson ran down Maidox-street, and made his escape. Witness found the stolen end of cloth in the bag. The cab-driver was called, but though he recollected being hired for a job, he torrid not speak with certainty to the person of Williamson. The, case was considered to be too slight to convict Franklin upon, and consequently Williamson alone was ordered to stand committed on this charge. The next case was for a burglary at the house of Mr. Nash, 11, St. John's Wood. It was proved by the servant that the house was en tered a short time ago, and robbed of plate, jewellery, a snuff-box, some coins, and other property. The coins and snuff-box found in Walker's house were part of the stolen property. A cab driver, No. 6,023, said be was employed on the evening of the robbery to take a fare of three persons to St. John's-wood. One of the persons was of very dark complexion, but as they were all buttoned up, and had handkerchiefs round their necks, he was unable to swear positively that the prisoners were the persons. As the evidence only affected Walker, the other two were not included in the charge. Walker was ordered to be committed. Mr. Robert Pearce, tailor, No. 23, Edward-street, pro secuted in the next case. The prosecutor said his shop was entered on the 12th of August last, and a quantity of property carried off: The thieves effected an entrance by using a pair of plyers to unlock the shop-door with, though the door was locked inside, and the key in the lock. Witness missed several ready made articles, a gold watch, and a ten pound promissory note, and some sovereigns, which he had placed in an old waistcoat pocket. The remnant of doeskin produced by the police, and found at Walker's lodgings, was a part of the stolen property. Walker was committed on this case. The next case was that of Mr. Leon, tailor, 47, Rath bone-place. The prosecutor s a id on the morning of the 7th of August some thieves entered his shop, and carried off a quantity of ready-made clothes, a piece of cloth, and piece of doeskin. A portion of a garment found in Walker's possession was identified by Mr. Leon. Mr. Leon said he recollected the prisoner Franklin com ing to his shop some time before the robbery, and giv ing him an order for a pair of trousers. The prisoner's order was executed; -and prosecutor, finding they gave satisfaction, begged to see him again at his shop, and solicited him to recommend his friends. The prisoner promised to comply with his request, and he had appa rently kept his word. Walker was committed on this charge. The next case was for stealing a riding habit and a dress-coat from the shop of Mr. Tabley, tailor, 43, Upper Berkeley-street. A portion only of the riding habit was found in Walker's lodging. This, however, was positively sworn to by th e l a dy' s ma id of Mrs. Kidd, of Albion-place, as the property of her mistress. The evidence being incomplete, the charge was not proceeded with. The prisoners were directed to stand committed as above, but to be again brought up next Friday to com plete the evidence in the first case. It is due to the police to say, it is solely by their activity and intelligence that these cases have been brought forward against the prisoners. To show the magnitude of the robberies in which the prisoners were concerned, it is ascertained that the value of the property taken in the above six cases exceeds 1,2001. DUMBLANE.—DREADPOL DEATII.—A young lad, named Robertson, employed at the vinegar -works in the ltown of Aberfoyle, lost his balance and fell into one of the boilers full of boiling liquid, about mid-day on Wednesday week. No assistance being near when the accident happened, the unfortunate youth managed to zet out himself, and gave the alarm. He was imme diately c trried home and medically attended, when it was found that every part of his body was burned except his head and left arm. He lingered on, in great agony, until the afternoon of Friday last, when death released him from his suffering. A correspondent writes from Florence on the 3d instant :—" We have just received information which, it be correct, is not wanting in importance. The popu. lation of Ancona is said to have assembled on the las! days of August, in the square before the residence of Monsignor Rossi, the delegate or prefect of the province, and presented to him an address, which had been voted by acclamation, demanding—first, a permission to erect a monument to Pius IX. • and secondly, the con voca ti on of new provincial councils really representing the wants and wishes of the provinces, and having the faculty of proposing such measures as may be deemed necessary for the well-being of the people."—Ga/zgnani. A SINGULAR AFFAIR.—In a village not 100 miles from Breadsall there lived a certain fair one, who seemed to have no desire to enter into anything like a matrimonial alliance. Offers had been made to her, but she refused them all with the air of a Diana. Not one would she accept, though several told their love with " moving tropes ;" and she seemed determined to live and die a life of " single blessedness." But these are, indeed, remarkable times—all things are so va riable—and *ate fine morning this summer a " change came over the spirit" of our heroine's dream. She actually fell in love with a lucky swain of about half her age. There are two proverbs : one is, "it is impossible to love and be wise," the other is, " a woman cannot keep a secret ;" both these are fallacious, as the sequel will show. So prudent was she with her love, that not a soul knew of it but herself ; and so well did she keep the secret of her marriage, that not one person in her own house had formed the wildest conjecture when it would take place, till the happy event was consummated. The bridecake, ring, dresses, licence, and everything were bought, but neither relative nor friend knew of her intention. However : while her bro ther was at work in the field, a " merrie 'sound met his ears from the church bells, and on inquiry he found Lis sister was wedded. Away he ran with the rapidity of lightning to his home, and instead of joining in the festive scene, he took up a horsewhip, and commenced thrashing all and sundry that came in his way. His conduct was so extremely violent that serious consequences were antici pated, and mischief would have been done had not the neighbours interposed. A large :crowd of persons as sembled to witness so novel a sight. It turned out after. that the lady had been banker in the house where sl e resided, and it was feared she might appropriate rem e money to her share than was due.—Nottingham Journal. RE -OPENING OF FLEET - STREET.—The carriage road of Fleet -street was, after considerable delay, re opened yesterday. The Free Synod of Argyle, at their meeting on the ad instant, appointed Thursday, the Bth day of October next, to be observed by all the congregations within the bounds, as a day of hutniliation, fasting, and confesst.'n of sin, in reference to the total and universal failure of the potat o crop , an d th e great and increasing distress Onsequeut {tom{tomthia teitattn3 Of pita rEgyi I denge. THE ARMY. LIMERICK, SEPT. 12.—The 83d regiment, in this garrison, unexpectedly received a countermand on Thursday morning, from the Quartermaster-General's office, Dublin, and will, it is supposed, remain for the winter. The first division was to have marched hence yesterday morning for Dublin, and the baggage was actually packed up. The 55th regiment landed in Cork, from Dovonport, en route to this garrison, are also countermanded, and will remain in their present quarters. THE CROPS IN THE WEST. We have lately had an opportunity of inspecting per. sonally the state of the crops in a large district of thi s county, and with regret we are obliged to say that one universal scene of desolation, so far as regarded the potato crop, presented itself to our view. We feel as sured that, in a fortnight at furthest, there will not be a sound potato in the county of Galway. The oat crop, in saving and cutting down which the people were for the most part engaged during the week, promises a fair return, but not so abundant as was that of the last year, and wheat, which is all safely lodged in the haggard, appears to yield more than an average return. If kept in the country, there would be plenty of provisions for the support of the people, but if some check be not given to exportation, we have the worst apprehensions for the safety of the nation. We are happy to state that on Wednesday night the hardy fishermen of the Claddagh met with more success than has attended their labours on any occasion during the present season, several of the boats engaged in the herring fishery have taken over three thousand each. We sincerely hope they will prove even more fortunate in future, and that there will be a good supply of fish for the use of the poor as well as for the rich. The price at market on Thursday was 13s. per thousand. Yesterday there was a good supply of coarse fish at Market.— Galway Mercury of Saturday. FREE TRADE IN FRANCE. At a numerous agricultural meeting, which took place OR the Bth inst., at Fauville (Seine Inferieure), which was attended by several thousand farmers, agriculturists, and manufacturers, the Chairman (M. Barbet, Peer of France) took occasion to attack, in a prepared discourse, the Free Trade Society. Fortunately, one of the most enlightened of the members of this association, M. Anisson Duperron, Peer of France, was on the platform beside the chairman ; he immediately accepted the chal lenge made by M. Barbet, his impromptu speech being received with much favour by an auditory that could not be supposed prepossessed. In his speech M. Du perron said that when invited to take part in that agri cultural fête, he had not been informed of the attack which their chairman meditated on a national, serious, and important association, to which he had the honour to belong. He was a zealous member of the association recently and legally formed in favour of the principles of freedom of trade ; it was, therefore, his duty to take upon himself its defence, and their indulgence would excuse him if an attack, entirely unforeseen in a meet ing such as that, found him without preparation to meet and repulse it. No, their association was not inimical to the national industry, for it had been constituted pur posely to aid it in circumstances of the greatest danger by which it had ever been menaced, and which, perhaps, many among them did not perceive ; the verb existence of their foreign commerce was at stake. In favour of their prohibitive system of duties their Chairman ap- pealed to the measures of reform recently introduced in Eugland against the same system by that able minister Sir IL Peel. Those who now held such language should permit him to say, that they understood neither the cha racter nor the tendency of that great revolution ; if they would grant him a few moments attention he would briefly explain it. England had declared the complete, actual, and radical abolition of taxes on raw materials entering as primary elements into the composition of her productions of all kinds. On this condition she hopes to produce at a very low price, and renounces the principle of protection by tariffs against similar foreign productions. Let them consider the consequences of that measure on the two great industries of which they there that day represented the interests, in the very place in which they were then assembled, those were the agricultural 'interests and the cotton manufacture. Ha could mat -- speak of their relations of direct trade with England ; they. woug Undergo but few changes, so long as they persisted in the tariff regulations of which their Hon. Chairman had invoked the mainte nance. Let them rather speak of the foreign markets, into which they felt the necessity of pouring the sur plus of their products ; where these prohibitions had no access, where they would experience the inevitable com petition of the foreigners, and where they must present their goods at prices relatively as low as his. How would they sustain in those markets the competition of unburdened products, freed from all those charges which weighed down their own productions, when be yond this the inventive genius and persevering activity of the English producer should be still more excited by the necessities of a competition he has not feared himself to attack and provoke ? He told them, with sorrow and conviction, that if they followed the counsels that had been given them, their exportations were at an end. Did they know what their tax on iron cost their agriculture alone ? He had the right of saying it there, for he had detailed the incontestable calculation, even in the tribune of the Chamber of Deputies, supporting it by the very documents vi his adversaries theinvelrah and that Wes* MUSICAL GOSSIP. PAnls.—The pasticcio of Rossini, to be called Robert Bruce, is in rehearsal. Early in November it is ex pected the first representation will take place of a work that may be called the plank of safety of the Academie Royale do Slusique. It is stated that Rossini, in the handsomest manner, has presented Mons. Neidermeyer with all pecuniary emolument. Mdlle. Giuseppina Brambilla has arrived, and M. Colletti is expected this week. Madame Persiaui and Ronconi will be in Paris about the 23d inst. Grisi and Mario will arrive on the 30th. The Theatre Italien will open with Lucia.

STUTTGARD.—On the 20th of August last the Theatre Royal, which has been closed a long time, in conse quence of its undergoing some extensive repairs, was re opened. It was attended by his Majesty the King and all the members of the Royal Family, who were received with great acclamations by a crowded house. On this occasion the long-expected new opera by Lindpainter, entitled, Lichtenstein, was produced. The libretto is from the pen of the poet Franz Dingelstedt, founded on the story of Lichtenstein by Hauf.

The depart nents in the north and east of France still continue to be affrighted by incendiary fires. The peo ple are exasperated, the peasants watch under arms, night and day ; every one is suspected by them. In many places the coaches are stopped by bands who question the travellers, examine them, and will not allow them to continue their journey, until they have verified their passes and effects. We do not, however, know that any spoliation has been exercised in consequence of these visits. Everything is usually conducted with order enough, and the travellers endeavour us much es possible to calm the irritation of these pout people. An insignificant circumstance, however, was lately very near costing the life of a person who was travelling in the coach from the femur to Avallon. About half-past four in the morning the vehicle was stopped by a band of peasants near Toutry, and the usual examination made. when a box of lucifers was found on the traveller in question. He was immediately dragged from the coach, amid cries of "It is he, it is the brigand 1 . He is the incendiary." In vain did he attempt to justify him self. Such was the blind philosophy of these men that they resisted all proof. He had passed through Toutry a few days before, and a fire having broken out shortly after, that was considered sufficient proof of guilt, and it was decided that he must be executed. The only dif ficulty was to decide on the manner of execution, so as to make it as lingering and cruel as possible. The wo men, who were even more furious than the men, wished to inflict upon hint the punishment of Abelard, and hang him afterwards. The motion was much approved of, and was about to be put in force, when it was urged that he would suffer more if he were flayed and quar tered. Finally, however, it was decided that he should be burnt aliv e . All this discussion took place in the presence of th e pr i soner, who was seated on a bench, motionless, and his eyes fixed on the ground. He was repeatedly kicked and struck, and the women and chil dren spat in his face, but he did not dare to stir, for a single movement would have led to instant death. For tunately, at this moms-nt, some gendarmes arrived, and released 14m from 31) rCritiOal a situation.—Deter4ts, NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. SHEERNESS, MONDAY EVENING.—His Majesty the King of Sardinia's corvette Aurora arrived here on Sa turday afternoon last, for Hull. The captain and officers, to the number of 32, and stated to be pupils of the naval school of Sardinia, visited the dockyard this morning, over which they were escorted by Lieutenant Ramsey, the director of police. Having minutely inspected the several works going on in the dockyard and the smithey, the cement kiln, the mast-house, &c., they left the yard about one o'clock and proceeded to view the extensive fortifications in course of erection here, returning on board their ship about two o'clock. They dine with the Commander-in-Chief this evening, and proceed to morrow on a visit to Chatham Dockyard. It having been intimated yesterday by circular from the Commander-in-Chief that his Grace the Duke of Wellington, accompanied by the Marquis of Anglesey, the Master-General of the Ordnance, would visit the port in the course of this day, all the authorities and crowds of the denizens of Sheerness, from an early hour in the morning were on the qui vice for his arrival, but the usual punctuality of his Grace has for once failed him, for up to the present time (seven A.m.) nothing has been seen or heard of him. It was expected that he would have arrived about noon in the Black Eagle from Woolwich. Extensive alterations and improvements, it is well known, are at the present moment in progress at the old works at this place; while a new and formidable battery, capable of mounting from fifty to sixty guns of the largest calibre, is in completion opposite the dock yard -gate, protected seaward by a deep moat, and flanked on each extremity by huge musketry walls, on the one hand, connecting it to the fortifications at Garrison Point, and on the other to the land defences which ex tend continuously from the Thames to the Medway, and which are now being heightened and strengthened, and Laving -a ravelin form on the Mile-town side of the draw bridge. The alterations on the works at Garrison Point are now nearly complete, and as sixty-three of the guns have arrived, and the beds and pivots for most of them are ready, his Grace will doubtless order some of them to be mounted. The size and calibre of the guns have alrear:, lac• n given in The Sun—they are chiefly 32 and 68 pout— . Fifty-eight of a similar description are orderee f I enew works. APPOINTMENTS.

PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—AdmiraI Sir Charles Ogle, the Commander-in-Chief, proceeded to Southampton yesterday in his yacht with his flag flying, to attend upon Prince Albert on his visiting the British Asso- ciation. The Bulldog steam sloop, Commander Davis, having coaled, and repaired one or two defects, left to-day for Plymouth to receive advance wages. She takes out supernumeraries and supplies fur the squadron of ob servation under Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker, off Lis bon, also dispatches for that officer and the British Minister, and letters for the squadron, which duty having performed she will proceed to the Cape of Good Hope to relieve the Thunderbolt. The Bellisle, 72, Captain Kingcombe, arrived at Quebec, from Halifax, on the 18th ult. The America, 50, Captain the Hon J. Gordon, will be docked at Devonport on the 21st, but none of her copper is to be removed. She will remain in dock only one tide, merely sufficient time to broom down her bottom, after which she will be got to sea with the least possible delay. She is progressing very favourably at present under the experienced hands of her first Lieutenant Mr. Lindsay, who fitted her out. Lieutenant J. B. West (1831), six years senior to Lieutenant Lindsay is, how ever, appointed first Lieutenant of the America, to suc ceed Mr. Agasiz, invalided. It is believed on board that, the America will be sent to reinforce the squadon in the Mediterranean. Captain Gordo❑ is on leave. WooLwicx, SEPT. 15. Field-Marshal his Grace the Duke of Wellington, Commander-in-Chief, and the Marquis of Anglesey, Master-General of the Ordnance, arrived at Woolwich at an early hour this morning, and were received by Captain-Superintedent Houston Stuart, C. 8., who steered his Grace and the Noble Marquis in the barge of the William and Mary yacht to the Black Hagle steam-vessel, lying, with her steam up, in the .middle of the river. The Marquis of Anglesey arrived at twenty minutes before eight o'clock, and visited the testing-department for anchors and chains, attended by the Captain-Superintendent and heads of the various departments. His Grace the Duke of Wellington ar rived precisely at eight o'clock, and immediately entered the barge of the William and Mary, to be conveyed to the Black Eagle steam-vessel. The Marquis of Anglesey was accompanied by Lord Clarence Paget, Secretary to the Master. General of the Ordnance. Sir William Gossett accompanied his Grace and the Marquis of Anglesey to Chatham, and the Black Eagle left Wool wich at ten minutes past eight o'clock. . The Swallow steam-vessel, under the command of Mr. Bryant, master of the Monkey steam-vessel, left Wool wich this morning for the river Shannon, and embarked 40 of the men who brought round the Conflict steam vessel to Woolwich. The Myrtle steam-vessel left Woolwich at the same time for Portsmouth, with 20 of the men who brought round the Conflict to this naval depot. The Conflict steamer is now ordered to be brought up the river to Deptford, and will be taken into the same dock as the Growler steam-vessel, to be fitted with her screw propeller. The La Hogue, fitting at Blackwell, as a 74 gun block ship, is ordered to Deptford to have her screw propeller fitted at that dockyard. _ _ _ The Sidon steam-frigate, Captain Henderson, left her moorings at Deptford, at half-past seven o clock, this morning, to afford an opportunity of trying her engines and speed. Several naval officers Went on board at Woolwich dockyard, and she proceeded down the river in fine style. Amongst the naval officers present were Commodore Sir C. Napier, who designed the vessel, Captain Sir S. Brown, Captain the Hon. D. W. A. Pel ham, Captain the Hon. H. Keppel, Captain Wellesley, Captain Sparshott, K.H., Captain Price, Captain Bur ridge, and Lieutenant Roberts, Captain S. Sparshot, of the Coast Guard, Major Henderson, brother of the gal lant commander of the vessel, Mr. Lloyd, chief engineer at Woolwich Dockyard, and Mr. Willcox, assistant to the master shipwright of Deptford Dockyard, and Mr. Seaward, of the firm of Seaward and Capel, constructor of the engines. The paddle-box boats are now on board and a portion of her shot, but she will require a consi derably greater immersion to give her paddle-wheels sufficient purchase in the water before she attains her full speed. On regulating the time of her passing over the measured mile in Long Reach, it was found that she performed that distance in 5 min. and 30 sec., or at the rate of 10.9 knots per hour, and by the common log 10.8 knots per hour, without her full power being ap-, plied. When nearly opposite Sheerness Massey's log was thrown overboard, and when the vessel was going at half speed the log, on being taken on board, showed the speed to be eight knots per hour. The Sidon proceeded on wards to the Mouse Light, about eight miles beyond the Nore, and proved an excellent and manageable war steamer, answering her helm in a most admirable man ner, turning entirely round in two minutes. This ope ration in a man-of-war occupies about five minutes, and the result obtained in the Sidon. gave great satisfaction to the whole of the naval officers on board. The Sidon is admired by all who have witnessed her construction for war purposes, her upper deck being of ample dimes • sions for working her powerful guns, and the funnels being made on the telescopic principle, and can be lowered to the level of the deck by machinery. The lower deck is also remarkable for the little interruption given to the view of the commanding officer by the machinery, and altogether her appearance is nearer to to that of a ship of war than any steamer previously constructed. The engines in one part became heated to-day, which prevented the full speed being tried, but on her return- they worked very well. Mr. Brunet ex hibited and explained the nature and advantages of his reefing paddle-wheel to the naval officers on board. The ship carpenters were employed all day as if the v . e:sel had been stationary, and on her return up the river she was attached to moorings opposite the dockyard, Wool wich, where she will be completed for sea under the superinteudem.e of Mr. Willcox, assistant to the master shipwright,:who has superintended her building since the commencement.
