He concluded by mov ing a resolution to the effect that, inasmuch as there had been no amalgamation between the Remington and Ras trick lines, it was desirable that each Company should have a meeting of its own • that the meeting was, at the same tame, obliged to Mr. iocock for having, by his advertisement, called their attention to the condition of the two projects, but that he ought not to have ealled it in the manner in which he had, as the Companies were entirely distinct and separate.—(Cheers.) fir. DAVIS having seconded the resolution, A SHAREHOLDER wished to know what funds still remained on hand ? ( Hear, hear.) The shareholders were, in point of fact, entitled to force them to give a full and faithful ac count of the position of the company's affairs without any further delay.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then moved that a resolution should be forwarded to the directors of the two companies, calling upon them to wind up the affairs of the two undertakings, and pay over the surplus of funds on hand immediately to the shareholders. The resolution was seconded by Mr. °BEARD, who was decidedly of opinion that it would be for his benefit if the Companies were dissolved.—( Hear. h ea r.) Probably there were some gentlemen present whose interests would not be served by such a course.—(Hear, and laughter.) Mr. ANDERTON trusted that his resolution would be put in the first instance. He was about to make some further observations in support of it, but from the great uproar which prevailed, he declined further addres.ing the meeting. The CHAIRMAN then put Mr. Anderton's resolution, when 20 hands were held up for it, and a complete forest of hands against it. He then pat the resolution which he had himself moved, for which almost every head was held up. Great cheering, of course, followed. Mr. SAMUEL POCOCK then moiled that two copies of a protest, embodying the resolution of the meeting, be for warded to the directors of the two Companies. After this meeting the shareholders would, of course, protest against any fur uj t no hi e r tsr s ta u hk m ailll s ig o n. f g— m il o Hco ne en y adr b ,ed e h in teh g are e . .xpended in the prosecution of the l'tlr. ) resolution, it was put and unanimously carried. It was then unanimously resolved that a committee, con sisting ot ten shareholders (two-thirds of Rastrick's, and the remainder of Remington's Company) be formed, and the chair ' man be appcinted . to carry the foregoing resolutions into effect. Another resolution, to the effect that the committee should have the power of investigating the accounts of the directors, was then moved by Mr. Samuel Pocock, The resolution having been seconded, A SuattEnot.DEß said, that it was impossible for the meeting to confer any such power on the committee. The CRAMMAN, however, put the resolution, which was declared to be carried. _ To defray the expenses of the commitee and the present 1 meeting. it was resolved that a subscription of one shilling be paid for every ten shares. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to a shareholder, said that he believed that 80,000 shares of 51. ss. each had been paid into Rastrick's, and 70,000 or 80,000 of 21. 15s. into Remington's Company. Thanks were then voted, on the motion of Mr. Obbard, to the Chairman, who having responded thereto, the meeting, which was rather a stormy one throughout, separated at half-past four o'clock. RAILWAY COMMITTEES (THIS DAY.) Sub-Committee No. 4. - This Sub-Committee re-assembled to-day, at twelve o'clock. The Members present were—Sir W. Heathcote,, Chairman, Mr. Ackland, Mr. Hope Johnstone. The case of the WEST OT ENGLAND 317 NOTION was then proceeded with. This case was adjourned from the last assembling of the Committee. The formal proofs were not entered into, as the party on whom devolved the duty of depositing the plans with the different parish clerks was absent. The allegation of the Rev. Mr. Barry was then proceeded with. It appeared there was no vertical scale on the plans deposited with the clerks for the counties of Oxford and Southampton; and there was also a discrepancy of 26 chains with reference to the terminus as shown on the scale and to its actual position. There was also a number of other allegations, but of no public importance. The Committee adjourned shortly before four o'clock. Sub-Committee No. 6. This Committee stands adjourned till twelve o'clock to morrow. Sub-Committee No. 7. The following Members composing this Committee met at the usual hour to day :—Mr. Strutt (chairman), Mr. Beckett, and Mr. Denison. The proceedings commenced by calling on TU SOUTH TOR.X.SHIRE COAL BILL. Mr. Coa:es, agent for the promoters ; Mr. Smith, agent for the opposition. Atter some minor objections, the following was alleged : That sto plan had been deposited with the parish clerk of the patish of Cawthorne. Several Acts of Parliament, together with an Inclosure Act, were produced on the part of the promoters, in all of which the alleged parish of Cawthorne was defined and de clared to be a township only. The Committee, consequently, decided that this was not a non-compliance with the stand ing orders. The Committee then adjourned. W.L3T.CIL-.V,7 0 1&X.3 Name of Company. Dividend Amount per of Paid.

READ V. TAIT. Mr. KNOWLES moved fur a new trial in this case, which was tried at the late assizes at Northumberland, before Mr. Justice Pattesen, when a verdict was given for the plaintiff, on the ground of misdirection, the verdict being against evidence. This was an action to recover damages alleged to have been sustained from negligence on the . part of the servants of defendant in the management of his vessel, by which plaintiff's vessel was run down. The plea to the declaration was not guilty, and se condls-, that the plaintiff was not possessed t , f any vessel The circumstances out of which the case arose were these:— The plaintiff was the owner of a ship called the Providence, and the defendant the owner of a vessel called the Virgil. On the night of the collision the two vessels were off the Lincolnshire coas?, soiling in different directions. The Provi dence from the south to the north, and the Virgil from the north to the south. The wind was westerly. According to rule in such casa the defendant's vessel should pass on the larboard and at the trial it was sworn on behalf of the plaintiff that defendant's vessel altered her course. The witnesses for defendant said that the proper course; had been kept, but that the Providence had itt come up in time, and did net make the necessary tack had not too crews o both vessels. only wit nesses on both sides were th da:vit The Learned llounsel rea d attorney, in which he alleged t a ilt affi • im portant witness, of from defendant's aiid n if his evidence the name of Brown, was not at the't a r?a, Under all the were heard the verdict could not stand. cir cumstances, he thought the Court *hold,' have no objection to grant him a rule. The CoURT did not think that the Learned Counsel had alleged sufficient grounds for disturbing the verdict,.—Rule refused. FLETCHER V. MARSHALL. Mr. WATSON moved for a rule to show cause why a non suit should not be entered, or why a new trial should not be had, or why judgment should not be arrested in this case, which was tried at Liverpool at the late assizes before Mr. Justice Coleridge, when a ♦erdict was given for the plaintiff. The declaration stated that the plain tiff, who was a_ schoolmaster at Manchester, had given directions to defendant's shar‘brokers, also of Manchts ter, to purchase for him fifty scrip shares in the projected Essex and Suffolk Railway. 'I he defendant promised to de so. on which plaintiff paid the money, but defendant did not deliver the scrip. Tne plea was first non-assumpsit, and secondly, that a sufficient time had not elapsed for the delivery of the scrip before the suit was com menced. The Learned Counsel contended that from the terms of the contract there was no such promise made as the delivery of the scrip within a certain time, that due care and dEigence merely was promised tote used.—Rule granted. MARSI)EN V. NEWMARSff. Mr. WATSON moved for a rule to show cause why a verdict sheuld not be entered fel. defendsst, or a new trial had in this case, which was tried before Mr. Justice Coleridge, at the late assizes at Liverpool, when a verdict was given for part of the demand to plaintiff, and for the other part to the defendants. This was anotner railway tran , action, where the defendants (sharebrokers) were al leged not to use due care and diligence in the sale and dis• po.it ion of certain shares the plaintiff held in the Leeds and Thirsk e Railway and the Shrewsbury . and Hereford Railway. The plea was, first, non-assumpsit ; and, secondly, that the defendants had not possession of the scrip in question, so as to dispose of them.—Rule granted.

THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH MILDAND RAILWAY. The RIGHT REV. PRELATE drew the attention of their Lordships to the late accident on the Brandling Junc tion Railway, on which occasion an engine drawing one of the trains ran off the line, down the embankment, and injured several persons, one woman severely. He therefore wished to ask the Noble Lord, the President of the Board of Trade, whether steps had been taken to prevent persons living immediately contiguous to a railway from receiving injury, or losing their lives by such accidents ; and whether his attention had been called to the particular subject of the accident by the receipt of any report with respect to it ? The Earl of DALHOUSIE said an officer connected with the Board f Trade had been dispatched to investigate the cause of the accident to which the Right Rev. Pre late had referred, and whether it was possible to trace the cause of it. The report of this officer had not yet been received, but he expected it every hour. When he re ceived it he would lay it on the table of the House, ac- ' cording to custom. The Bishop of DURHAM said nothing could be more satisfactory than the explanation of the Noble Lord.

At the same time I shall propose a sessional order, the effect of which will be that the [louse will resolve that it will not give its consent to the third reading of any railway Bill unless it shall be notified to the House previously that a meeting of share holdcrs and scripholders of the Company who promote the Bill, convened after due notice, had been held, at which a certain propertion of the parties had signified their desire that the DU should be proceeded with.— (Cheers.) I will simply lay at present upon the table of the llouse the whole of the resolutions I shall move on Thursday, so that the House may be in full possession on that day of the nature and effect of my proposal. ABSENTEE TAX (IRELAND). Wm. Mr. WYSE said that he collected from the public papers, that on Wednesday last, outrages of a terrific character had taken place in the town of Carrick-on- Suir, and that the military were obliged to be called out. Apprehensions were entertained at Waterford that they would be subjected to the same excesses. He believed that these riots had been of a very serious character, and he was happy to say that, from what he had understood, the members of the Catholic Church had been most peaceable. Ho had been also informed that serious apprehensions were entertained by the members of that Church of the pernicious results that were likely to arise from them, and he wished to know the intentions of her Majesty's Government. Sir J. GRAHAM said that from sources that were open to all Hon. Members were aware that very serious riots had occurred in Tipperary, but he was happy to say that from information which had been received by the Government during the last week these disturbances had been entirely suppressed, and that measures had been taken to prevent their recurrence. IRISH COLLEGES BILL. Mr. J. O'CONNELL wished to know from the Bight Hon. Baronet opposite whether there was any objection on the part of the Government to bring in any measure during the present session to amend the Bill for the founding of colleges in Ireland, which was passed last year? To that Bill there were the strongest objec tions in the country, and he wished therefore to ask him whether he was inclined to take the whole case into con sideration, and thus to satisfy the feelings of the nation. The Right Honourable Baronet was aware that the whole of the Catholic prelates, an overwhelming body of the Catholic clergy, and the whole of the Irish peo ple, almost without exception, were opposed to the Bill as it now stood. Sir J. GRAHAM—There is no intention on the part of the Government to introduce any alteration of that Bill. Mr. S. O'BRIEN gave notice thathe woula, on Thurs day next, move that it is expedient to tax absentees, as some compensation for non-residence. EVICTION OF Ti-NANTS. Mr. S. CRAWFORD gave notice that he would, on Tuesday next, move fur leave to bring in a Bill fir the protection of ejected tenants in Ireland. VA.N PIEMEN'S LAND. Mr. EWART gave notice that he would, on this day fortnight (Tuesday) move for a Committee to inquire into the state of Van Diemen's Land. Mr. H. BERKELEY called the attention of the House the uttering of base coin on unfortunate females. He wis • hed to ask the Right Hon. to a paragraph which had recent l y appeared in the Times, with respect to Baronet whether it was thedeterminationjesty's Government to put the law in abeyance spect to the utt er i ng o f base coin, when passed upon with re unfortunate fem a l es , an d if so, whether it was their in of her Ma tention to carry out the principle in all other details? Sir G. CLERK sa id , t h at h avi ng seen the statement in the newspap ers to which the H on . Gentleman had re ferred, he h a d t h ought it his duty to make inquiry into the subject, an d h e was informed that no suc h regulation as that to w hi ch reference had been ma d e ever ex i s t e d. The statem e nt i n the Times, therefore , h a d arisen out of some mistake. That statement also attracted the atten tion of the Attorney-General, and he also had made ) inqui r i es, and with the same result as that which had at tended th e i nquiries made by him (Sir G. Clerk). IRISH COLLEGES. (Ireland Mr. E. B. ROCIIE said that under the Colleges Bill, passed last session, Cork was fixed upon as a proper place for a public college to be built. Now, altho ug h the Bill had been passed twelve month:, yet n o step had apparently yet been taken t r carrying out the provisions of the measure; even the t i tes f or the colleges had not yet been fixed. He wisht (I to ask the Right Hon. Baronet whether the Go vernment really intended to carry out the law that was pissed last session, and if so, why so much delay had oc curred, at a time when 30,000 persons were out of em PloYment in Cork ? He wished to know whether the Government intended to carry out the Bill, or whether they had come round to the opinion that.„these colleges would be infidel in,titutions ? Sir J. GRAHANI said, that so far from any neglect having taken place on the part of the Government, with respect to proceedings with the Irish Colleges, the pre sident and vice-president had been appointed, the site of one .f the colleges at Belfast had been fixed upon, and, in a few days, the site of the one at Cork would be chosen. IRISH CORPORATIONS. Mr. O'CONNELL wished to know whether it was the intention of the Government to abolish the minor guilds in Dublin ? IRISH COUNTY ELECTIONS. Mr. F. FRENCH wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet whether there was any intention on the part of the Government to introduce any Bill fur shortening county elections in Ireland. Sir J. GRAHAM—It has &ready been stated in the course of the preient session that her Majesty's Govern ment intended to introduce a Bill for amending the Act which regulated county elections in Ireland. The Bill was already prepared. SIR ROBERT DICK. Sir DE LACY EVANS believed that the Government were aware that Sir Robert Dick had fallen in the Punjaub campaign, as the other officers whose memory it was the intention of Parliament to honour, and he wished to know whether this gallant officer was to be remembered along with them? Sir R. PEEL—In the course of the several conversa tions which have arisen on the Punjaub campaign, I have stated that it is my intention to recommend the same memorials should be erected to all the officers en joying the rank of Major-General, and I shall there fore deem it my duty to recommend the same tribute of respect to Sir R. Dick as to the other gallant officers who have fallen in this contest. CANADA TIMBER. Lord G. BENTINCK said that he rose to ask for an explanation of a false return which had been made to that House. Ho had had the honour of moving for a return of the prices of Canada and Bevelled timber during the last seven years, he made the motion for that return the last week in January, or the first week in February ; that part of the return which appeared to him to be false is dated from the Landed Surve) or's-office on Feb. 13, and it was consequently on the 13th of Feb. that the return must have been made before the Board of Trade. That return was not presented to the House until the Ist of April.-(hear hear.) The obbject of his moving fur the return was to throw some light on the debate which was then going forward on the Timber duties. The return which had bean made to the House, had given the Following as the prices of bevelled timber. It stated that the prices in 1840, was from 5/. ss. to 51. 10s. per load, duty paid. In 1841, it stated the prices were from 5/. ss. to 5/. 7s. 6d. In 1842, the prices were stated to be from 4/. 17s. 6d. to 51. per load. He begged the pardon of the House, he had been giving what he believed to be the real prices of timber during the periods he had mentioned, and not the returns furnished by the Government. The following were the returns presented by the Ministers :-In 1840, the price per load of be velled timber duty paid was said to vary from 81. to 81. ss. ; in 1841, it was said to vary from 71. 15s. to 81., and in 1842, from 71. 15s. to 81. the duty being 55a. per load. The average of the three years he bed mentioned, by referring to the returns laid on the table by her Majesty's Ministers, was 81. Is. Bd. In 1842, the Right Hon. Gentleman at the head of the Government introduced his changes, with respect to the duties on timber trade, and he reduced the duty to 255. per load in 1844. The return went to state that the prices in 1842 varied from 5/. ss. to 51. 105 ; in 1845, from Si. to Si. 7s. ; and in 1846, from Si. 12s. 6d. to 5/. 17s. Gd., makirg an average of 51. 12s. 6d. Now, the result of these returns was to show to that House, and to show to the country, that the consumers had gained by the remission of 30s. duty, not only the whole amount of duty of 19s. 2d , over and above the duty, making the whole gain 495. 2d. by this reduction of 20a. alone upon timber. Nuw he be lieved it to be the fact, so far from these returns being true, that if a true return had been made to the House, it would haae been found that the prices from 1840 to 1842 were as follows :-In 1840, Si. 10s. per load ; in 1841, 51. ss. ; and in 1842, 5/. 5.!. ; showing an average of Si. 68., the duty 555. per load, whilst in the last three years since the duty had been reduced from 655. to 30s. He believed that if a true return had been made, it would have shown that the prices were 41. ss. in 1844, 41. ss. in 1845, and 41. 12s. 6d. in 1846, showing an average price of 41. 7s. 6d., so that the consumers upon the average of three years since the duty was taken off, instead of gaining, as it was represented by the return, 49... 2d. per load, only gained about 19s. 2d., while the balance went into the pcckets of the producer. Now it was a most important matter to that Route that they should be able to rely on the truth and accuracy of those statistical papers which were laid before it by the Board of Trade, and on which the House founded its legislation. He considered it a serious matter, and his first intention was to move that the subordinate officer should be called to the Bar to explain his instructions and his object in imposing upon the House. It might be all very well for gentlemen connected with the commercial inte• rest to discover these false returns, and to be uninfluenced by them; but these returns passed current with the vast majority of the people and with the House, and leading articles written by learned editors of newspapers, were founded on them, proving the great advantage t o b e d erived fom free trade. He considered it therefore his bounden duty to explain these circumstances, and the false re turn had lain upon the table of the House for seven weeks, and it was not until the first of April the proper and correct one had been given. Sir ROBERT PEEL said that he could not feel him self justified to enter into any argument upon the subject, but merely to state the facts. His atten tion had not been called to the error until the Noble Lord had intimated his intentions to the Govern ment. As to the returns, though made by her Majesty's Government to the House, he was sorry to say that it was impossible for any Minister to un dertake to be responsible for their faultless inaccuracy. Having discovered that an error had occurred, he had ordered that a correct return should be immediately presented to the House, and it would be in possession of Hon. Members to-morrow. He had also made inquiries as to what department of the Customs the error had occurred in, and he held in his hand a le:ter from the officer by w hom the accuracy of the re turn was certified. The letter was to the following effect. In answer to your requisition, calling on me to state in what department of the customs the error in the return on the Memel and Canadian timber arsse, I regret to state that it was in the landing surveyor's department. The mis take appears to have arisen from the officer taking the average price from the price. current, which is not an official document, and in which the prices are quoted, sometimes including the duty and sometimes not. He (Sir R. Peel) apprehended that there could be no doubt as to how the mistake had arisen. He could only express his regret that the mistake had occurred, but he had taken every measure to rectify it. TENANT RIGHTS IN IRELAND. Mr. P. SCROPE rose to put a question to the Right Hon. Baronet on the subject of the legality of tenant rights in the North of Ireland. There were one hen. dred millions of property unprotected in the north of Ireland. S ir J.

OUTRAGES IN THE TOWN OF CARRICK-ON, (LIST SITTING.) IRELAND. THE TIPPERARY FOOD RIOTS. DUBLIN, APRIL 19.—The Tipperary men have practically established the most efficacious means for bringing out the local gentry with soothing speeches and plenty of money for the employment of the idle but industrious sufferers by the potato disease. The outrages—the burglaries in the corn stores, and robberies of provisions committed on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday last, in Clenmel and Carrick-on- Suir, have stimulated the relief committees to increased exer tions, and the result has been complete success. Upwards of 1,000/. were contributed in Clonmel alone—several hundred labourers are employed at good wages; and contracts for works in that town, to the amount of 25,0001., appear adver tised in the Tipperary Free Press of yesterday. In Carrick on- Suir order was restored, an unequivocal proof that those who can contribute will do so, and at once. The gentry in the several districts where scarcity is undeniable should be warned in time of the occurrences in those Tipperary towns. Let them provide against the worst. 'Tis idle now to at tempt to prove that which all admit—that Sir Robert Peel has aroused a spirit which will not easily be allayed—that many places will hoist the flag of " bread or blood,' which have hitherto remained quiet in far more distressing periods. The probability is that a considerable time will elapse ere the peasantry be content with the dietary of the past or previous good potato years. DUNGARVAN.—An extraordinary presentment sessions was held in this town. Amongst the magistrates present were the Earl of Huntington, Lord Stewart de Decies, Sir H. W. Barron, Sir Nugent Humble, W. V. Stewart, Esq., M.P., &c. Presentments to the amount of 7,2831. were agreed to. TRAMORE.—A correspondent of the Waterford chronicle, writing from Tramore, thus begins his letter :—" Our own little beautiful town shows evident symptoms of growing prosperity. Despite black potato commissioners and stark starvation, we are, thanks to the fates, on the march of im provement." Lord Glengall was appointed Vice-Lieutenant of Tippe rary in the absence of Lord Donoughmore, county lieute nant, but the latter has returned to Knocklofty, from Dublin. CoLEttAINE.—In 'compliance with the request of the starving commissioners at Dublin Castle, a meeting was held in Coleraine on Wednesday, for the purposo of appoint ing a relief committee for that town. Several gentlemen delivered their sentiments on the sub ject of the apprehended scarcity; some said there was not more than the ordinary amount of distress in that locality; others that distress prevailed to a considerable extent. G. C. Knox, Esq., J. P., admitted that from the high price of potatoes the poor must be badly off, but they had no evi dence of any starvation. Mr. Lawrence asked how many inmates there were in the workhouse. Dr. Babington replied, only 245, while the house was ca pable of holding 700. In June, the first year the house was opened, there were 100 more on the books than at present, and there was nothing to prevent any one in distress from now obtaining admittance. A committee was formed, and the meeting separated. The Coles cline Chronicle, received to-day, says :—" The committee met yesterday in the commissioners' room ; there was a very full attendance, including three magistrates, four clergymen—one Protestant, one Presbyterian, and two Roman Catholics ; three medical men, two of whom hold medical appointments in connexion with the union poor house, the Coleraine dispensary, and the fever hospital; and several of the town commissioners. Both at the public meeting and the meeting of committee the present state of the labouring classes, as dependent upon the price of food and labour, was very fully discussed, and we rejoice to find, from the unanimous testimony of all parties competent to form an opinion upon the subject, that the state of the poor in Cole raine and its immediate neighbourhood is not worse than in average years, while for the present, at least, no serious ap prehension of a scarcity need be entertained. We fully agree with the committee, that the effect of any present attempt to interfere with the regular course of industry would be worse than useless ; we would strenuously recommend the collec tion of a fund for the purpose of being expended in the em ployment, and in the employment only, of the labouring classes during the summer months." Government has sent 500/. to the poor relief fund at Clonmel. The Tralee new ship -canal is now open for merchant ves sels; the first which entered was the schooner Defiance, of Milford. The Carlow paper says, that though provisions are high in that market, there is no apparent want among the labouring classes, vast numbers being employed on the railway. There are 639 labourers now employed by the relief com mittee of Limerick. GALWAY.—The Mercury of yesterday congratulates the people of Galway on their good conduct, applauds the com mittee for its exertions, and goes on to say—" Most sincerely do we rejoice to learn that the public works, the canal from Lough Corrib to the sea—the breakwater to Multon island from Fairhill—and the extension of the qtaay to Nimmo's Pier, are to be immediately commenced." The building of the new college in Galway will be com menced early in the ensuing month. The Roman Catholic Bishop of Galway has subscribed 20/. ; the Very Rev. Warder Daly, 501. ; Dr. Kirwan, P.P., President of the Galway Col lege, 201.;_ and several other gentl emen sums varying from 10/. to 20/. Her Majesty steamer Dee has arrived at Galway with 110 tons of Indian corn. A cargo of oats has also been received in that city, which is deemed a most remarkable fact, as oats have generally passed from Galway outward bound. Lord De Freyne has 550 men employed in his demesne, with the view of t irculating wages. LLMERICK, SATURDAY.—Her Majesty's steamer Alban yes terday discharged a cargo of Indian corn meal into the Ord nance store ferry slip. Her Majesty's steamer Myrmidon, Lieut. Jenkin, R.N., which arrived i n th e Sh annon on Thursday, from Cork, pro ceeded up the River Fergus, to be in communication with the civil authorities for the protection of prop..rty. Mr. Walker, Gove rnmen t eng i neer, and slr. Richardson, have arrived at Valentia, to ascertain its capabilities for a Government packet station. 0.1 Thursday several sacks of oatmeal, for the relief fund at Brunee, were sent from this city under a military escort, and this morning a quantity of oatmeal, ordered by Lord Stanley's agent, John Bolton, Esq., was forwarded under a similar military detachment, to the confines of Tipperary. The market price of potatoes has advanced to 6 1 / 2 d. per stone, which is 3d. the stone over the price of this time twelvemonth, and for an inferior article. The price of new butter advanced yesterday from 80s. to 90s.:per cwt. OUTRAGES. (From the Limerick Chronicle, April 18.) Three countrymen returning from market attacked and de.perately beaten. Ten sheep killed in a field, and the carcases (all but the heads) carried away. Robbery of arms. Her Majesty's ship Myrmidon is now stationed in the Fergus to assist the civil authorities in preventing outrage. The Rev. T. D. Gregg attended in person, accompanied by a great number of followers, at the Consistorial Court of the Archbishop, in Henrietta -street, on Thursday, to put in his plea and answer to the Archbishop's citation. The Court sat again yesterday, and Mr. Gregg's case hav ing been called on, the Rev. Gentleman appeared and ap pointed Mr. Worthington as his proctor. The case stands over till Saturday next. CORK, SATURDAY.—The American packet-ship Camelia, register 1,090 tons, Captain French, arrived in the harbour yesterday, with a cargo (about 25,000 bushels) of Indian corn and about 10,000 barrels of meal. The captain reports having spoken, on 13th instant, in lat. 50 25, long. 20 30, the barque Courier, 71 days from Sierra Leone, leaky, for Cork or Falmouth.

MURDER. _ _ The Limerick Chronicle says that John Joye was waylaid and murdered at Cooga, between Doone and Cappamore, on Sunday night, after quitting a public-house. J. Bennett, Esq., coroner, held an inquest on the body ; verdict of " Wilful murder against Thomas Richardson, of Doone, and John Quinlan," who have absconded. Deceased was a wood ranger on Lord Stanley's property. • On Tuesday night a house, the property of James Ken nedy, at Sallymount, near Annacotty, was maliciously burnt to the groun.l.

TEMPLEMORE, NENAGH, AND SHANNON. - The share holders in this project also held a meeting yesterday in the same place, when a memorial to both Houses to stop the Bill was agreed to. On Thursday and yesterday a jury empanelled by the county sheriff, was assembled at Pallasgreen, to value the land required for the Waterford and Limerick Railway. The proprietors consented to the rates fixed on by Mr. Walsh, the valuator of the railway directory, and the jury returned verdicts accordingly. Messrs. Kane and Ellis were engaged as counsel for the company. ROYAL NAVAL BENEVOLENT SOCIETY. A Quarterly Meeting of this Society, instituted in the year 1739, for affording relief to officers of the Royal Navy, their widows, and families under circumstances of misfortune and consequent distress, was held yesterday, y.t the Thatched House Tavern, at twelve o'clock. The Chair was taken by Captain Sir Charles Ogle, R.N. There was a very numerous attendance of members on the occasion. Among the gentlemen present we ob served Lord Radstock, Sir H. Baker, Bart.; Sir Edward Codrington, Captain Dickenson, Lieut. W. Bedford, Captain Bradshaw, Captain Drew, Captain Larcom, Commander Payne, Captain Kelly, &c. The Secretary, Mr. Dickson, proceeded to read over the minutes of the last quarterly meeting of the Society. Letters were also read from the Earl of Haddington, Vice-Admiral Sir J. A. Ommanny, Captain A. B. Beecher, and Cap. F. A. Schaw. From the report of the Society's accounts it appeared that the total amount of monies received by the Society, since Jan. 13, to March 31, amounted to the sum of 1,1361. 10s. 2d. Of this sum there had been received from Life Subscription £2s 0 0 Annual Ditto 442 18 6 Donations l6l 19 6 Interest on invested property 506 12 2 The expenditure of the Society during the above period had been on account of grants voted at the last quarterly meeting, 4321. The other expenses, including rent, printing, stationery, investigation charges, and other in cidental expenses, the sum of 2321. 18s. 7d. The thanks of the Society were voted to the auditors of last ycar, and fresh ones were elected for the en suing year. _ _ _ A Sub-Committee was appointed for the purpose of examining the memorials of applicants. The meeting was addressed by Sir Edward Codring ton, Captain Bague, and Commander Payne. A long discussion took place upon the subject of Miss Hoare's application. It appeared that at the last quar terly meeting of the Society it was resolved that no further relief should be afforded to her. In consequence of that resolution she had published what she had termed a manifesto of her grievance, and had, to a very large extent directed public attention to the Institution in question. The present discussion arose upon the ques tion of re-affirming the decision of last quarter. It was at length moved by Captain DaEw, seconded by Admiral M.INLoN, and carried unanimously—" That any further relief granted to Miss Hoare from the funds of this Society would be injurious to its interest, and contrary to the pledge given in the address to the pub lic, which states is would exclude the undeserving from participation in its benefits." The Committee then proceeded to inquire into and decide upon the merits of the applications made to the Society. The number of memorials presented was 36, and the sum proposed for voting was 4801. The cases having been disposed of, and grants of money to the amount of 5131. (being 331. over the sum originally proposed) having been voted to the various; applicants, a vote of thanks was given to the Chairman, and the Committee rose at five o'clock. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.
