r *saner possible, by qualifying first lieutenants to sit ' iron ezases that came before courts-martial. They were quite as capable of discharging the duties of judges as yourag men of twenty-two who had purchased their cora .missions. The Hon. Gentleman then quoted some «lease 3s in which great injustice had been done to officers t he navy ch arge d w i t h non - o b servance o f the rules of the Admiralty, in consequence of the great delay which toc , k place in the holding of courts-martial. Colonel FOX said he did not think it quite in order fir the Hon. Member to bring forward a s ubject which ocerirred fourteen years ago without notice, and when the "Board of Admiralty had just entered i nto the per torn lance of their duties. Admiral DUNDAS said that, if the lion.:Mem ) Jer Ivo uld move for any papers with reference to thet",ans fiction, he would be happy to furnish them to the r si ouse. Mr. WILLIAMS said that he was imputing blas n e to no vermin whatever in the matter. He was m e rel y 'stating facts "which he called upon the Government to disprove. The Hon. :Member then alluded to the case of anottirr court-martial, Nwhich had been held contrary to the ru les 'of the Admiralty, upon Lieutenant Bridge ; the: result of wh 4 ,cls was that the young .officer was dismissed from his ship in a, manner which was per fectly illegal. All he -wanted was, thee, there should be some check upon these presceeclines, and that with reference to the sentence of courts..martial, the navy should be placed upon the same footing ast'se army. An Host. ItY_earea ls. here moved that the House be counted. Strangers. were then ordered to withdraw. There were, however, 40 Members present. Upse t . our re-admission to the gallery, we found Mr. 'WII-1..1.AN1S on his legs, still addressing the House upon the subi j erst of the navy. The H on . M em b er then said tha t he had to apologise for trespassing so long on the attention of the riotase. He would not have done so upon ant; other subject than the present. Mr. WARD was quite surprised to hear the speech of the Iflon. Member. He had quoted the cases of two abuses fo :authority, which occurred thirteen and sersn years ago, as reasons why the whole system should be eh - Aged. He should only say that th e su bj ect should receive tise early consideration of her Majesty's Government. Captain BERKELEY said that t s . much worse than had been referred ;ne case referred to was to by the Hon. Member. The crew of the vessel had kickei. up a row" with ti.e Turks, and they were taken by 'ASS Turkish authorities, and brought to the Commodore's enip, where the case was inquired into by the captain in pres epee of the lieutenant. Sir S. COCKBURN said that the statement of the Hon. Member—that there ..as no appeal from the sentence of a court-martial —was.. incorrect. As to courts-martial not being competent auttssisties, he admitted that they were not so learned in the lesw as the barristers and judges of Westminster hall. They were courts of honour, as well as courts of law. There w'sre a number of quirks, and catches, and flaws, which were treaen advantage of in the one case, but were not allowed in the other ; and with reference to the case of Lieut. Bridge, it was snowed that he had insulted the Vice-Consul, but upon his re turn home the Admiralty considered the case, re-instated him to lois position, and gave him the command of a ship. The 14 on. Member was only incorrect in his statement that the Ad rniralty had sent out a ship with a post-captain, in order to 'complete the number necessary for a court-martial, for it so happened that there were enough captains on the station; and as a proof there were enough, the captain of that ship did not sit upon the court-martial at all. He warned them not to meddle with the discipline of the navy.—(Hear, hear.) Captain PECHELL reprobated the present system as pursued in the navy. When a court martial is held at the present time, the parties are sent few to the captain's cabin, and the evidence is taken down by the clerk, but the accu s ed is not allowed to be present. Sisch was the course pursued in the case which was alluded to 'by the Right Hon. Gentleman, and it could not be denied but that it was the source of the greatest hardship. Sir CHARLES NAXIEIs said that he had always under- k stood that there existed a. great superiority in courts-martial as held in the navy to those in the army.—( Hear, hear.) In the one case the r sccused was kept in confinement until the sentence was esanfirmed by the Commander-in-Chief, and whether the party was condemned or acquitted, he was obliged to remain i 4 'confinement until the sentence came back ; and more ths-4 that, the Commander-in-Chief had a power to order that a rele.sion of the sentence should take place. Well, what a pow er was that to place in the hands of any person.—( Hear, hear.,_) But such was not the case in the navy.—(Hear, hear.) COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. `The House then went into a Committee of Supply. On the vote of 154,9381. for defraying the expenses of the disembodied militia in Great Brita'n and Ireland, Mr. HUME thought the militia should be put on a proper footing or disbanded altogether, and wished to know whether the Bill referred to some time ago by a Right Hon. Member of the late Government was to be proceeded with for the regula tion of the militia, or what was to be done ? Mr. FOX MAULE said that the present Government did not intend to adopt that Bill, but the whole question would be inquired Into, and steps taken to place the militia in a complete state of efficiency. Mr. WILLIAMS expressed a hope that something would be done to make the body efficient. Captain HARRIS said, that if the militia were not placed in an effective condition by the present Government, a Select Committee of the House should be appointed to ascertain what steps should be taken for that purpose. The vote was then agreed to. 80,8004 was voted to defray the superannuation allowances of persons formerly employed in the public service. 5 ,5001. was voted for the pensions of the Dutch officers' widows. The following voter were also agreed to :- I 'Bsol. for the National Vaccine Institution, 3,0001. for the :Refuge of the Destitute, and 11,5001. for the subsistence of the Polish refugees. On the vote of 7,0511. for the purpose of defraying various small expenses chargeable upon the revenue of the Crown, Mr. WILLIAMS objected to the grant of 40/. charged for the purpose of granting gowns to a class of persons subsisting on charity, and called bedemen. He wished to know whether the charge was a permanent one, and if so he should object . to it. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the grant was formerly made by Charles the Second, and it was chargeable on the revenues of the Crown. The sum was for merly 108/., and it was now only 40/, so that it was on the decline. Mr. HUME did not see why Charles 11. bad a right to make any perpetual grant. He had gray ted to the Duke of Rich mond the sum of Is. on the duty on coals, and the Government were afterwards ohligid to buy it up for 795,0001., giving a revenue of 19,5001. to the Duke of Richmond. The vote was then agreed to, as were also The sum of 3,1721., to defray the expenses of the Dublin Foundling Hospital; 13,226/. to defray the expenses of the House of Industry ; 1,000/. to defray the expense of the Female Orphan House. 2,5001 to defray the expenses of the Westmoreland Locke Hospital. The following votes were next as to :- 1,000/. for the Lying-in Hospital, Dublin. 1,500/. for St. Stephen's Hospital, Dublin. 1,5004 for the House of Recovery, Dublin. 5001. for the Hospital of Incurables, Dublin. 5,700/. for certain Protestant Divinity Ministers in Ireland (the regium donum). 3,400/. for the expenses of the Commission appointed to digest the Criminal Statutes. 35,0001. for the execution of Public Works in Ireland. 7361. for the expenses of the Shannon Commission. 1,0001. for the repairs of the British Ambassador's house in Paris. After a few words from Mr. WILLIAMS, who thought the Ambassador was paid well enough to pay for his own re pairs, was also r.greed to. The following votes were then agreed to :- 12,000/. for completing the building of the British Ambas sador's house at Constantinople. 50,000/. to defray the expenses of steam navigation to India by way of the Red Sea. 15,500/. to pay the British volunteers in Canada. 364,801/. to defray the expenses of the commissariat de partment. 32,400'. for half-pay pensions in the commissariat de partment. The House then resumed, and the report was ordered to be brought up on Monday next. JOINT-STOCK BANKS (SCOTLAND AND IRE LAND) BILL. The report on this Bill was brought up and agreed to, SPIRIT LICENSE AND DUTIES BILL. This Bill went through Committee. The House resumed, and the report was ordered to be brought up on Monday. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS BILL. On the motion of Sir GEORGE GREY, this Bill was read a second time, and the Bill was ordered to be committed. The Burial Service Bill was read a third time and passed. ASSESSED TAXES. On the m o ti on o f Si DE LACY EVANS, a copy of the List of Defaulters in payment of Assessed Taxes for the year 1815, ending the sth day of April, 1846, and payable (in order to election qualification) on or before the 20th day of July, 1846, or two following days, furnished in compliance with the 12th section of the Act 6 Vic., e. 18, by the asses sors or collectors in the City of Westminster ; and, if any reasons for non-receipt of these taxes in each or any case can be assigned, the same to be stated; and similar copies of the same list for the City of London, and boroughs of Finsbury, Brighton, and Southampton, were ordered to be laid before the House. The following Bills were brought in by Sir W. SOMER VILLE, and severally read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday. Bill to continue an Act to amend the laws relating to Loan Societies. Bill to continue the exemption of inhabitants of parishes, town ships, and villages, from liability to be rated as such, in re spect of stock in trade, or other property, to the relief of the poor. Bill to continue the Copyhold Commission. Bill to continue certain Turnpike Acts. Bill to continue an Act for authorising the application of high way rates to turnpike roads. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to Twelve o'clock.

The steamers were proceeding, with , an Y sengers, in opposite directions, between London and %tali wark-bridges, when the steamers came in collision with great force, throwing the passengers from their seats on the decks in the greatest state of fright and alarm ; the Water man steam-boat was immediately stranded on the banks of the Surrey side of the r i ver , an d most f ortunate l y i t was low water at the time, or she would have filled and sunk, and, probably, occasioned loss of life. The Syren was driven out to the middle of the river; several of the small steam boats immediately came up to the assistance of the passen gers and took them on board; and from the eagerness great that i t was with great of the passengers to g et off th e Syren, occasio ne d b y t h e ac cident, the rush was so difficulty that many personswere that from falling into the river; but, notwithstanding the great fright and confusion which prevailed, and the sudden collision that took place, no lives were lost. Both the steamers are very much damaged.

DISTRESS IN IRELAND—SIR ROBERT PEEL. DUBLIN, JULY 29.—After the city of Cork grand jury had been sworn in on Saturday, Mr. BEAMISse, one of the jury, rose to submit for their con sideration some resolutions which he had drawn up on a question upon which, he believed, there would be little difference of opinion —viz., the judicious measures taken by the late Government, and the strong apprehensions now en tertained of a similar aid being required from the present Government during the ensuing year. The present salutary state of things was mainly attributable to the large supplies of wholesome and nutritious food distributed amongst the people by the late Government ; and he, therefore, atiticipated no opposition to his resolutions. Whatever some people might have said as to the exaggeration of the potato disease, and who consequently stigmatised the measures of the late Government, no persons would deny that if those supplies of food had not been introduced into the country, the price of the ordinary food of the people would have risen to an alarm ing height.—(Hear, hear.) This he conceived to le a con clusive reply to the sneers of those who, for interested pur poses, would make light of the potato disease; and he also trusted it would be considered a conclusive argument for the gentlemen of the grand jury adopting the resolutions which he was about to propose.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) " Resolved unanimously, That the sincere and grateful acknowledgments of the Grand Jury of the city of Cork be respectfully presented to the Eight Honourable Sir Robert Peel and the members of her Majesty's late Government, for the timely aid afforded to the distressed psputation of Ireland during the period when a deficiency of their ordi nary food threatened them with serious privations; but which the wise arrangements of the Government, aided by the generous exertions of our benevolent citizens and other charitable individuals, have, under a beniticent Providence, happily averted, and the beneficial effects of which may be traced in the diminution of disease, the lightness of the criminal calendar, and the peaceful demeanour of the people. " That having too much reason to apprehend a similar cause for the active agency of the Government during the ensuing year, we would respectfully direct the attention of her Majesty's present Government to the impending cala • mity, and respectfully suggest that extensive employment for the labouring classes by the construction of useful public works is the best means adapted to alleviate the privations and distress which must otherwise invariably follow a defi ciency in their ordinary food. " That copies of the foregoing resolutions be forwarded by the Chairman to the right Honourable Sir Robert Peel, as also to Lord John Russell." Mr. SPEARING seconded the resolutions, which were cater ried unanimously. Mr. SEWAUID said, that if it were not for the ail of the Government there would have been nothing but starvation throughout the country. Mr. BE AMISH remarked, that though nearly 200,000 sacks of meal had been taken from the Cork depot alone, the price of potatoes in the market that day was exactly 100 per cent. higher than last year. COUNTY OF KILKENNY ELECTION. KILKENNY, WEDI;IESD. - CY.LRr. Richard - Snitwick re pealer, was this day elected for the county of Kilkenny, in the room of the late Colonel Butler. ADDRESS TO THE LORD-LIEUTENANT. The requisition calling a meeting of the nobility andg of Kilkenny county, to address the Lord-Lieutenant, of all parties, in that county, includes the name of Mr. John O'Connell, M.P. for the city of Kilkenny. An abstract of the following report appeared in The Sun of yesterday : REPEAL ASSOCIATION ADJOURNED MEETING, YESTERDAY. WITHDRAWAL OF MR. SMITH O'BRIEN AND THE YOUNG IRELAND PARTY. ➢lr. JOHN O'CONNELL (in continuation) proceeded to de monstrate the dangerous tendency of certain articles in the Nation, and which, if passed over by the Association, might possibly compromise its very existence. His father had pointed out these articles in committee, and it was therefore needless for him to produce them then. What was the at!. thority quoted by the Nation as stimulating them to go on in advance of O'Connell? No one less than the blood-stained miscreant of the French Revolution, Danton. But they would not adopt his principles ; and those who wrote for the Nation should instruct themselves in the school of peace, before they undertook to instruct others. Mr. O'Connell would accomplish his objects by moral force alone— A Voice—Hurrah for Dan! A tremendous cheer was here given, the audience rising, and cheering Mr. O'Connell's name with great enthusiasm. The Lord Mayor called for " one cheer more," and another was given, louder than any which had preceded it. Mr. J. O'CONNELL then concluded his address, which oc cupied more than two hours in the delivery, by asserting what he had already stated, that he should protest against the Nation, and that in his opinion and judgment it would be unsafe for the Association to be any longer connected with a newspaper which promulgated such pernicious doc trines. Mr. MITCHELL (of the Nation) then proceeded to answer the " indictment' preferred against that journal by Mr. John O'Connell, and concluded his observations (which were frequently interrupted) by asking whether every member of the Association was not entitled to the free exercise of his own opinion, save and except on the question of repeal. No one could ever dream of opposing bir. O'Connell in what he (Mr. Mitchell) might call his own association; but if he were compelled to withdraw himself from it he would struggle in any field that might be left open to him for the redemption of his country. Mr. STEELE said it was impossible to expect that tran quillity could be restored in the disturbed districts of Ire land if such pernicious doctrines as those contained in the Nation were allowed to be disseminated. Mr. Mitchell had said " that no one thought they wanted to excite war;" but as he (Mr. Steele) knew what was lurking in the abyss of his mind, and in young Mr. O'Gorman's mind—it had been avowed by Mr. Meagher—he would put to them a test; he would ask them would they make a solemn ad juration that in no case, or under no contingency, except that of being attacked, did they meditate a recourse to physical violence.—(Cheers.) He would call for that test, and if they shrunk from it, he would tell them, with all manner of private respect, the sooner they retire the better, for they were not with them.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. Steele then proceeded to show that good effects would prevail from moral force alone, and called on the meeting to place reli ance in Mr. O'Connell, who would be able, when England was in difficulty and needed their assistance, to make his own terms for Ireland.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. MEAGHER then rose, and said he cordially con curred in the sentiments of Mr. Mitchell, that the most comprehensive measures that a Whig Administration could bestow upon the country would fail to elevate it to that position which it had a r i g h t t o occupy and the power to maintain. The Whig Ministry could improve the province, but could not restore the nation; franchises, liberal ap pointments, tenant compensation Bills, and equal justice, as it was called, might ameliorate, but would net exalt. They might meet the necessities, but would not call forth the abilities of the country. They might repair the evils of the past, but could ;not realise the anticipations of the future. With a vote in one pocket, a lease in the other, and full justice before him in the shape of a restored magis trate, the humblest peasant might be regarded as a freeman, but he would not have the characteristics of a freeman, or the spirit to dare, and the energy to act.—(Cheers.) These were not the crude sentiments of youth, although mere com mercial patriotism might satirise them ; for age had uttered them, and the experience of eighty years had preached them to the people.—(Cheers.) A few weeks since stood in the Queen's Bench an old and venerable man, to teach the country the lessons he had learned beneath the portico of the Irish Senate-house, and which he treasured up in his heart as the costliest legacy which any citizen could be queath to the land that gave him birth.—(Cheers. A voice —lle voted against O'Connell.) He cared not if Mr. Holmes lead given a Conservative vote; he had national sentiments and aspirations.—(Cheers.) The speaker then quoted pas sages from the speech of Mr. Holmes to which he referred, and continued—A new Government might redress griev ances, but it was a strong people alone that could raise up a great nation.—(Cheers.) A slight interruption here took place. Mr. MEAGHER then proceeded. He was glad of the in terruption, because it had given him an opportunity of say ing that anything he had to say he would say there that day, and because he conceived that the issue which the Hon . . Member for Kilkenny so pointedly insisted upon would soon come to hand, and he perhaps would not have again the honour of meeting them in that hall. He then went on to say, that modern politicians seemed to think that when the pacification of the country took place, there would be an end to repeal.—(Cries of "Name.") Captain BRODERICK called upon Mr. Meagher to name to whom he referred, and added, that he ought to keep to the point, and not come there to make displays of oratory. Mr. O'BRIEN here rose, amidst loud cheers. He should say one word with great reluctance. Mr. John O'Connell had addressed the assembly for upwards of two hours without any interruption. It would, therefore, be much better that every gentleman should be allowed to proceed with his line of argument in the manner that presented itself to his mind, and that those who differed in opinion with him should reply to him.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Mzecutin then proceeded. He drew attention to the vagueness of Lord John Russell's premise to ameliorate the condition of the people, in which he said that the Ministry considered the social grievances of Ireland to be the most prominent, and they would afford some remedy, some kind of improvement, some kind of hope that in ten or twelve years hence this country would be in a better state than at present. After that consolatory declaration let those who had the patience of Job and the poverty of Lazarus wait upon Providence and the Whigs—(Cheers)—but let those whose hearts and minds had not been imperialised continue to undo that work which forty-eight years ago knocked down the independence of the country, dishonoured the ancient peerage of Ireland, and reduced the country to servitude.—(Cheers.) Let him not be told that he was ungrateful for the services of that great man, O'Connell, to whom they were so much indebted. He never before thought it necessary to say so much. He hated unneces sary praise, and he scorned to receive or bestow it (Cheers.) It was he who struck the fetters from his hands when he was a child, and by his influence his father was the first Catholic who for 200 years sat in the civic chair of an ancient city—(Cheers)—but the same God that gave that great man the power to annihilate an old and odious ascendancy, gave to him a mind of his own to make use of, but not to surrender.—(Cheers.) It was in the exercise of that right and privilege that he appeared there that day, and stood up in defence of his friend, Charles Gavan Duffy, who suflered for them and with their leader in Richmond prison.—(Cheers.) He begged to say that he had no more connexion with the Nation newspaper then he had with the Times. —(Hear, hear.) He believed that the character of the Nation was above suspicion, as he knew that the ability with which it was conducted had won European fame ; nay, more, he believed that the people would not ratify the censure w hi c h h ad been pronounced upon it that day i n that hall. (Great cheering .) He confessed that, in n o atrmbes present bnot ocircumstances of the country, an appeal of repealing the union bynZr senseless but wicked ; to talk the peaceful policy of that lesswocVloon poetize. Ho was for it was the only policy they should ad o pt, and he did litrrl y earn be e li s ev e that if it were worked out with truth an would ultimately end in the att a i nment of their t i t :l e o s r l iou it s I object ; but he dissented from the resolutions. He did not concur in the opinion that no political amelioration was worth a drop of blood. He did conceive that there were ameliorations which we re e was worth nota t s more ti ng than their many opinionsa drops p;s he blood.—(No, no.) He was merely stating his own.—( Hear, hear.) Hedaidrmof conceivethe that there were occasions when the weaponed patriot should prevail against battalioned despotism.— (Cheers.) From the day in which the Almighty nerved the arm of the Jewish girl to smite the drunken tyrant in his tent, to the hoar in which he blessed the insurgent chivalry of the Belgian priesthood, his protecting arm was stretched forth to consecrate the flag of freedom, and to bless the patriot's sword. Be it in the defence or assertion of a na tion's liberty, he looked upon the sword as a sacred weapon — (Dissent)—and if it had reddened the shroud of the op pressor, it had at other times blossomed into flowers to clerk the freeman's brow.—(Cheers.) Abhor and stigmatise the sword ! No. Remember that it cut in pieces the banners of Bavaria in the passes of the Tyrol, and that a nation, a great nation, sprung up by its magical influence from the watery Qt . tin Atlutic, And %Amin b 4c.44a4 4 ding fro THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MOANING, AUGUST 1, 1846. republic ! Abhor and stigmatise the sword ! No—for it scourged the Dutch. He had learnt its power, and that it was the right of nations to govern themselves, while he stood upon the ramparts of Antwerp where liberty was rightly appreciated, and its possession was purchased by an effu sion of noble and generous blood. Abhor and stigmatise the sword ! No. Mr. Joan{ O'CoNssgi,f, rose to order. He had several times checked his desire, which he felt to be strong, of interrupting the eloquent speaker during the latter portion of his speech, because he had said to himself that although these were dan gerous doctrines, which should not even bespoken in that as sembly, that he would perhaps qualify or modify his senti ments. He did not think that he was wrong in saying, that instead of modifying his expressions, he had increased them in vigour and violence.—(Cheers.) It was to him a source of the deepest annoyance that he was obliged to interrupt him, but at the same time the deepest conviction upon his soul was, that such language was not safe.—(Cheers.) He feared that the time had come when the teat should be aye or no.—•(Cheers.) The expression of such sentiments coming from so gifted and talented an individual was the more dan gerous. He thought that the time had come to the point— yes or no? He could act upon the point of form that the man who denied assent to the resolutions adopted on Mon day week was ipso facto no longer a member, but he did not wish to press a point of form upon so serious and sad an oc casion ; but for the safety of the Association, if there was a doubt about it.—(A voice—There is no doubt)—the better way would be to put the question.—(Cheers.) It was sug gested that the resolutions put in that Association should be maintained. He was in a puzzle how to act, but there was no puzzle about this, that the language just uttered by Mr. Meagher could not be safely listened to by the Association — (Cheers)—and that the sentiments which he had avowed were sentiments directly and diametrically opposed to the sentiments of the founder of the Association; there fore, either he or Mr. Meagher should cease to be a member of that Association. If the meeting were opposed to him (Mr. John O'Connell), he would leave the Associa tion; but the time had come whenStither he or Mr. Meagher should cease to be connected with it, for he could not con tinue in the same Association with him after the utterance of such sentiments. Captain BZODEILCK—Nor can I remain any longer.— (Cheers.) Mr. STEELE—Nor I.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN then rose and said—l am afraid that the alternative presented to us is of such a nature as neces sarily to compel a termination of this discussion, but I can not allow the meeting to separate without expressing my opinion of the course that has been pursued towards Mr. Meagher in his fair and legitimate argument.— (Cheers, and confusion.) We have been invited here for the purpose of deliberately considering whether any gentleman can con tinue a member who entertains the opinion that there are occasions on which nations must of necessity have recourse to arms for liberty. Mr. Meagher'advocates peaceful means, but neither he nor I consider, when invited to discuss a question, that we are not at liberty to state our opinions in vindication of the sentiments that have been arraigned.— (Cheers and confusion.) You should well consider this, for this day produces an event in history. You are charged with never giving fair play to an adversary. You are charged with being slaves to any despot who holds the reins. —(Loud cries of " No, no," and confusion.) It is not my opinion, and I should designate as a traitor the man that said so ; but are you going to justify that opinion by putting down a man who is dispassionately discussing a question to which he has been invited? If the discussion is to terminate, I shall have the satisfaction of having recorded my protest against the manner in which Mr. Meagher has been put down by Mr. John O'Connell.—(Cheers.) Mr. J. O'CONNELL—The question is not, as Mr. O'Brien states, whether a young man shall be put down, but the real question is, shall a young man put down the Association— (Cheers)—for I do declare pit is my firm conviction that his language was most dangerous. We have not invited this discussion—it has arisen accidentally. There were certain resolutions on the books, which were based on the opinions of the founder of the Association. If gentlemen entertained different opinions let them drive him out from amongst them. —(Loud cheers, and cries of " O'Connell for ever.") The question was, would the Association stand by those resolu tions or adopt another leader? Great cheering, accompanied by groans and hisses, fol lowed this declaration, and a scene of the utmost confusion ensued, during which Mr. Smith O'Brien, accompanied by Mr. Meagher, Mr. Mitchell, and all th e mem b ers of t h e " Yong Ireland" party present, left the hall. Their depar- ture was the signal for an enthusiatic burst of applause from the supporters of Mr. O'Connell, which was, how ever, immediately suppressed by that gentleman. When silence was somewhat restored, Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL said—lt is no source of joy to me that we have witnessed this departure. There cannot be a feeling of triumph—there cannot be one single pleasurable feeling in my heart at witnessing the loss to the Association of such a man as Smith O'Brien—at witnessing the depar ture of those excellent men from amongst us. I know the country will deplore it, and I know the country will hold me blameless when it believes that I would rather give my life's blood than risk the loss of such a man, and the men who went with him. This is not a time to speak ; it is a time to weep. Let us, then, retire from this hall to mourn over the loss we have sustained. Let us not think of meeting till Monday next, when I hope Mr. O'Connell will be here to try to repair the breach that has inevitably occurred. But I do im plore those kind friends who have cheered me to-day to use no angry word—no term of insult or reproach towards the men who have now left us. Conciliation and peace are our mottoes, even with our enemies. Should it not be so with our friends? We deplore their loss, but we will not increase the bitterness of our hearts by using towards them one single term of reproach, or exhibiting any feeling of triumph. Mr. J. A. O'NEILL then addressed the meeting, deploring the course pursued by Mr. O'Brian and his friends, and eulogising Mr. O'Connell's conduct ; after which he was called to the chair, and a vote of thanks passed to the Lord Mayor. _ _ The meeting then (at six o'clock) adjourned until Monday next. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, August 1. The Lord Chancellor sat in the Old Hall, Lincoln's Inr, to-day. DAMER V. LORD PORTARLIXOTO.N.

His Iloxotfu gave judgment this morning in one of those many cases arising out of the late secession from the Kirk of Scotland, which has left a large number of the chapels in dispute as to which party they shall belong to. The Vice. Chancellor said the question in this case was, what were th e trusts under which the meeting-house h a d been left, called the Low Meeting-house, in the town of Berwick-upon- Tweed. The plantiffs said that it ought to be used as a place of worship only, according to the rules, practice, and dis cipline of the Kirk of Scotland, and asked the Court to do that which would have the effect of providing that no one should teach and preach in that meeting-house, except a licentiate of the Kirk of Scotland. He said, supposing that made out, the case would resemble one which had already been before the court, the Attorney-General v. Welsh. He had no special affection for that case, but till he heard the principles applied in that case invalidated, or some thing to make him change his opinion, the Court must continue to be guided by the same principles. Supposing a person, a Presbyterian, in connexion with the Kirk of Scotland, should build and endow a place of wor ship, to be used according to the rules and discipline of that Kirk, and having determined that the same should be per petuated for all time coming, should take the means most proper for the purpose, should direct trustees to hold the meeting-house as a place of worship, according to the rules of the Kirk of Scotland ; what the Court in that case would do would be to make the Kirk of Scotland the model, as was done in the case of the Attorney. General v. Welsh, and also to provide that the minister should be one who would uphold the rules, the discipline, and doctrines of the Kirk of Scotland. Whether the minister should be a licentiate of that Kirk was not the question here ; but it was clear that he could not be a man who avowedly dissented from her rules, Fier discipline, and her doctrines. A stricter question, however, might be considered here, namely—whether a man could be a minister in such a meeting-house who openly avowed opinions contrary to the Kirk. In the case of the Attorney. General v. Welsh, he had, with a view to that question, endeavoured to find out what difference of doctrine or discipline existed between the Kirk of Scotland and the non-intrusionists. He confessed he had no difficulty in seeing how those who held the belief of apostolical succession might be consistently opposed to any interference from the civil power, but he could not understand the consistency of any such opposition from those who recognised a local church government in spiritual matters. From all the documents which he had been able to consult, and which could throw any light on the subject, he was of opinion thai the Kirk of Scotland and the Free Church differed, and that no trustee of a chapel established according to the rules of the Kirk, having seceded, could fill the pulpit and order the worship in accordance with the Free Church. But another argument was urged in defence, namely, that the Church of Scotland, as it existed in 1835, prior to the dis ruption, and the Free Church subsequent to it, were identical in opinion —an argument which his Honour could not re concile with the decisions of Chief Justice Tindal and other eminent judges. The Auchterarder case showed that the rules and doctrines of the Church of Scotland were; that case introduced nothing new, the deci sion upon it was merely declaratory. The Vice-Chancellor said he made 'this remark in case the present litigation should unhappily be continued, in order that parties might bring their case forward in such a shape as would lead him to review the principles laid down in the case of the Attor ney-General v. Welsh. Having assumed up to this point that the trust was that the meetinghouse should be used according to the rules of the Kirk of Scotland, he came now to inquire how this stood. There was a deed of 1766, but the established custom seemed to prove that the trust was such as the information alleged. The first minister, John Turnev, was a licentiate of the Church of Scotland; there existed some doubt as to one of his successors on this head, hut from 1719 onwards all appeared to have been ministers in connexion with the Church of Scotland. The deed of 1766 had been raised in argument in the defence. Now, if the trust was a trust for any Protestant Dissenters, the effect of that would be, that a licen tiate of the Church of Scotland might have been consistently a minister of the Low Meeting-house. But the deed of 1766 was not the foundation of the trust, and custom was opposed to it. Herein this case differed from that one to which he had alluded, that the original deed of trust had not been proved. His Honour said, in cases like the present, coming before Lord Eldon upon int( rlocutary applications, that Judge frequently put them in a train of adjudication which enabled him to express his opinion at an earlier stage. But Lord Cottenham strongly disapproved of this mode, as giving a priority to cases of a certuin kind overvane casen lnehj,, others aze bitni ; a been ancwt h n , ee d ea i l rdnd have this Vice-Chancellorcasbeeenthtehesourceo f g re ght t shutting ie up w as the n o p t l ace preparedo f w o rtsoh say i p until that t t h h e e trust on which the meeting-house was held had been com pletely proved, but, looking to what had been done in the case of the Attorney-General v. Welsh, and to the fact that Mr. Murdoch held the o pi n i ons o f the nen-intrusion party, he ordered that Mr. Muidoch should be restrained from teaching or preaching in the Low Meeting-house, in Ber wick-on-Tweed, otherwise than in conformity to the doc trines, discipline, and practice of the Church of Scotland, and that the plaintiffs should be at liberty to apply to the Court in case Mr. Murdoch should in any manner depart from the doctrines, discipline , and practice of that church.

The Commission for the county of Surrey was opened here on Thursday, and business was proceeded with in both courts this morninr at ten o'clock. Mr. Baron Parke presiding at Nisi Prius, and Mr. Justice Coltman in the Crown Court. The business on the civil side is heavy, there being a hundred cases entered for trial, nine of which are special jury cases. There are only twenty prisoners for trial, and it is computed that the criminal business will be got through to-day (Saturday), and it is arranged that Mr. Justice Coltman shall then try the last thirty common jury cases. The first special jury cause is fixed for Wednesday, and the others will be taken afterwards in their order. The cases tried yesterday in both courts were entirely devoid of interest to the public. NORFOLK ClRCUlT.—lpswich, July 29. Their Lordships opened the commission for this county, the last on the circuit, yesterday afternoon, after which they proceeded to partake of the hospitality of Sir William Mid dleton, at Shrublands-park. This morning the courts were opened at twelve o'clock. There being an entry of eight causes only on the civil court, and thirty-three prisoners on the criminal side, Mr. Justice Williams presided in the Nisi Prius Court, and having disposed of two undefended actions, took next a `• horse cause," which was only part heard at the rising of his Lordship. In the CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ALDEasoN.) Edward Juniper and Christmas Patteson were indicted for a highway robbery at Bungay, accompanied by violence, on the 15th of May last. Mr. Cooper prosecuted in this case. From the evidence of Susan Baxter, it appeared that she was walking quietly about the fair at Bungav, on the day named in the indictment, when she was addressed suddenly by the prisoners, one of whom, after a little parleying, robbed her of her pocket-handkerchief, and then dealt her a blow which knocked her down. Having accomplished this manly feat, the two men quietly walked off; but the prosecutrix, on coming to her legs, pursued, and, overtaking them, gave them into custody on the above charge. At the close of the case far the prosecution, His Loßnsmr, addressing the jury, directed them to ac quit the prisoners of the more serious part of the charge, as it appeared that the abstrsetion of the property had been fully accomplished before the blow was struck, and the case did not therefore amount to one of highway robbery. When called on to make his defence, the prisoner Juniper protested that there had not been any larceny either, for it was all a practical joke, such as was usual at fairs, and he accused the prosecu• fix of encouraging him and others to take the like and far more serious liberties with her on the night in question. Mr. Baron ALDXESON haying left it to the jury to lay whether they bad any doubt of the prisoner's guilt, They, somewhat to his Lordship's surprise, returned a rer• dict of Not Guilty. Walter Goddard, the bill against whom for the man slaughter of John Brown had been thrown out by the grand jury, was arraigned on the coroner's inquisition, which charged him with feloniously killing and slaying "a man un known, now here lying." Mr. Keane appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Power for the defence. From the statement of the Learned Counsel for the pro secution, it appeared that the unfortunate deceased, who was a man of intemperate habits, was singing, quite drunk, about the streets of Bury on the 15th inst., at 11 o'clock at night, when he was overtaken by the prisoner and another loan. The prisoner either pushed or tripped up the deceased, who fell on the pavement; but, being lifted on his legs by his assailant, he resumed his devious course. From about that time he was not seen again till 2 o'clock, when he was seen by a policeman lying in a beastly and helpless state of intoxication under the window of the Assembly-room on the Angel-hill. Strange to say, no steps were taken by that functionary to remove him to a place of safety; but at 9 o'clock on the following morning, when the sight of such an object might perhaps have offended the lite, ati of Bury by coming "between the wind and their gentility," as they re paired to the reading-rooms, the poor wretch was taken to a station-house, where medical assistance was called la, though too late, for he died at 4 o'clock. The I.earned JUDGE, on hearing this statement, interfered, and asked the Learned Counsel if he could trace the history of the deceased more fully on the night in question after half past 12 o'clock, and up to 2 o'clock? Being answered in the negative, Mr. Baron ALDERSON said, that he did not think there was sufficient evidence to go to the jury, to connect the pri soner with the infliction of the injury which led to death. It might be that the prisoner had tripped up the deceased, and he might then have fallen, and so have received the blow which led to death ; but it might also be that the de ceased had fallen down elsewhere afterwards, or received some other blows which might have produced the very ap pearances on which the surgical testimony was founded. He therefore thought that the case ought not to go any further, and, besides that, it appeared to him that the inquisition was bad, as it stated the deceased to be a " man unknown," whereas he was well known. Mr. KEANE then submitted that the finding in the in quisition referred to the period of holding that inquisition. At that time the name of the deceased was unknown. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Yes, but that is not the question now. The petty jury are now called on to find that the prisoner killed a man unknown, i. e. to them, the petty jury. which is not the case. Under these circumstances, I shall direct the jury to find a verdict of not guilty. The jury, therefore, returned a verdict of Acquittal. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Durham, July 28 CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.) LIABILITIES OF I.P.OVISIONAL COMMITTEEMEN. WEBB V. WATTS. This was an action of assumpsit, brought by Mr. George Hatton Webb, formerly an attorney's clerk, against Mr. George Edward Watts, a gentleman residing at Langton. grange, near Darlington, and formerly a captain in the royal navy, to recover the SURI of 861., alleged to be due for work, and labour, and money paid by the plaintiff, in the service of the Irish West Coast Railway undertaking; the de fendant's liability to pay the demand being, that the latter had caused himself to be made a provisional committeemai, to that railusy. Mr. Marna and Mr. Atherton were counsel for the plain tiff, and Mr. Knowles, Mr. Addison, and Mr. Seymour, for the defendant. Mr. Maims, in opening the plaintiff's case, said that the question upon the present inquiry would be very similar to that which had already arisen in other actions, in which it was said, some of the judges had expressed an opinion against those plaintiffs who claimed compensation of provisional corn mitteetnen. But. the Learned Counsel said, he had, himself, no doubt that such liability existed. He apprehended that every person who took any part in the estabfishing of a railway, was to be considered as one of the promoters, and that when a man became a provisional director, and thus put himself forward as a promoter of the scheme, he did, impliedly, by so participating in the scheme, and recom mending it to the public, undertake to pay those thing, which, by the Parliamentary standing orders, were made obtaininghi a Bill from the Legislature. If a dis rn p a e l n i s w ab o l u e ld to c t o h m e efor ward before the public as one of a provisional committee in these cases, he must, in reason and in justice, be taken to make himself answerable for such ex penses as were needful for the end in view Besides which, a person assuming that character had peculiar advantages, which, it would be found, had been enjoyed by the de fendant in this case; the provisional directors were in the habit of receiving a number of shares in the undertaking, which were allotted to them at the commencement of the scheme, and which they could sell at a premium without having before paid anything for them. The present defendant was sued for a sum of money due to the plaintiff for wages as a clerk employed in the taking of traffic, a species of work without which it would be useless to attempt to get a Bill to establish the company. The work to be done by the plaintiff was, therefore, something without which the scheme could not be successful, and that being the case, he, Mr. Martin, anticipated that the plaintiff would be held entitled to recover. The plaintiff had been five or six weeks in Ire land, and was afterwards recalled, in consequence of the ces sation of the scheme, occasioned by the panic. There had been many thousand applications for shares, and not a farthing paid. The plaintiff had attended at the offices of Mr. Kelly, the agent in Dublin, and had at one time pro posed to him to return to England, when Mr. Kelly told him not to do that, as it would be the ruin of the undertaking. There had been a previous action, that against Mr. Burdett, and if the present defendant complained of hardship, he (Mr. Martin) would only ask the counsel for the defendant to put the plaintiff in possession of certain documents which were held in the other side, and which would enable the plaintiff to proceed against other persons, and then he (Mr. Martin) would be satisfied. Mr. KNOWLES said that there was no pretence for the ask ing for any such documents. A. letter from the defendant was then put in. It was dated at Darlington on the 15th July, 1845, signed by the defend ant, and addressed to Messrs. Reid and Robinson, solicitors for the railway, No. 10, Old Jewry Chambers, London. It purported to be an answer to an application from the soli citors, and stated that the defendant would allow his name to be placed on the list of committeemen, and requiring that he should have fifty shares allotted to him, and fifty more afterwards in case circumstances might so permit. On the 16th October the prospectus, having the defendant's name in it, was published. On the 27th September preceding, Mr. William Campbell, who was acting manager from August to October, gave the plaintiff a written appointment to go to Ireland, as taker of the traffic on the projected line. It was signed by Mr. Campbell, dated at 21, Thavies Inn, and ap pointed plaintiff to act as taker of traffic, at 255. a day, ex clusive of travelling expenses, from the 29th, then inst , the engagement to terminate in sixty days, or two months, from that date. Mr. Charles Bennett, stationer, of Bucklersbury, was exa mined for the plaintiff—From August to December, 1845, witness had been much at the offices in the Old Jewry, which were the offices of the "Irish West Coast Railway." During all that time there was business carried on in those offices, and witness supplied stationery and printed the pro spectuses. Witness had unfortunately had too much to do for railways. There was a great demand for clerks at the time plaintiff was sent to Ireland, for traffic taking, surveying, &c., and the scale of remuneration Was high. Levelling and surveying clerks got from two to three guineas per day. Cross-examined—Witness never saw the defendant at the offices at all. Mr. W. Campbell was manager from August to October, and then Mr. Steward was appointed to that office, althouxh Mr. W. Campbell continued to be occasion ally at the offices. . .air. Peter Campbell (who was plaintiff in another action in the cause paper against the same defendant), brother of Mr. William Campbell—Was employed by the company about the 7th of July, 1845, when it began. He was a clerk,. along with five others ; afterwards there were more employed. The traffic was one of the things necessary to be proved be fore the Committee. Witness and plaintiff went to Ireland together, on the business of the railway. They defrayed their own expenses. Mr. William Campbell was put into the box by Mr. MAR TIN, who did not, however, examine him. Upon cross-examination by Mr. KNOWLES, this witness said that he had been managing director of the railway in question. Hewes asked what he had been before that and answered, "a respectable man." Onifurther inquiry he said he had been in the banking company of Steiner and Co., in Vienna, in 1843 ; after that he had taken the Blackwell Extension Railway, then became agent for this Irish project, and finally director in the same concern. His LORDSHIP, at a previous stage of the cause, bad ob served that this was the first action of the kind which had been tried before him, and asked Mr. Martin if it had not already been decided by Mr. Baron Parke. that in such a case the detendautcould not be made liable? to which Mr. Martin answered that he should submit the contrary, and that there were, in fact, several cases going to establish the defendant's liability_ to the de man d. Mr. KNOWLES now submitted that the plaintiff had made out no case ; fi rst, b ecause there w as no evidence of any work perform e d b y the pla i nt iff s at least not in Ireland; and secondly , because the plaintiff had failed in giving any evidence at all of a contract between him and the defendant. His LORDSHIP intimated that there might be some ques tion upon the former of these points ; but appeared to con sider that the evidence given did afford proof of something haliPg beS4 dm by ow plaiatiti Pnrird4 wain the psi contracted for. The counsel for the plaintiff contended that although the taking of the traffic had never been proceeded ith, yet the defendant could be called on, in this form of action, to pay the wages, and that the plaintiff was not bound to sue in an any other form. It was the same as with any other person whose services might be engaged. If a servant were hired for a year, and ready to work, but not put to work, he might still make his demand as for work and la bour. It was upon the second point, however, that Mr. Knowles mainly insisted, and he said th a t th e defendant never having taken any active part in the business of the project, the letter of appointment being on the 17th of September, and the publication of the names of the committee not until the 15th or 16th of the month following, there could be no contract between these parties. He submitted, whether the mere fact of a gentleman writing a letter, to say that he was willing to be a provisional director when the committee should be formed, could render him liable to this action by a person so appointed by Mr. Campbell ? W. Campbell could not have written the letter now read upon the respon sibility of the defendant, and the plaintiff could not have un dertaken this employ on any credit given by him to Mr. Watts, as the contract had been entered into before the name of the latter had been made public. Mr. MARTIIim said that view of the case was contrary to decisions in the Courts above. In " Bennett v. Burdett," which was tried in the Exchequer, before Mr. Baron Alder son, on the 28th of January last. it was held by that Learned Judge that the defendant was liable. There the defendant had merely signed a written consent to become a provisional director. Mr. Justice CRESWEAL—BUt what was the other evidence ? Mr. KNOWLES-Mr. Burdett was shown to have attended meetings of the committee. He had consented to act, and he had also acted. In that case the plaintiff had acted on Kr. Campbell's authority, but at the place where the defen dant himself was attending as a committeeman. Mr. Marrrix—Mr. Baron Alderson said there could not be a doubt but that the defendant was liable for all contracts. Mr. AVKIERTON referred to another case, that of " Barnet v. Lambert," also in the Exchequer. There the plaintiff gave in evidence the defendant's letter, as here, but its terms were qualified by the writer saying that he would not incur any liability beyond the amount of his shares. The defendant there had attended one committee meeting, but the decision of the Court was upon the qualified expressions of the letter. Mr. MaltTtx was proceeding to quote the case of " Wild v. Hopkins," when Mr. WATSON caused some merriment by exclaiming, "We are going to move fur a new vial there." . . Hjs LORDSHIP then called upon Mr. Martin to say what question of fact he would wish him (the Learned Judge) to leave to the jury. Mr. MARTIN replied that it would be this—" Whether the defendant, by giving his consent to be a provisional com mitteemar, and his consent to take shares, did not thereby hold himself out - , or consent to have himself held out, as a party to be responsible for the reasonable expenses of carry ing the scheme before Parliament." , His LORDSHIP considered that would be a question of law. He was at present of opinion that no contract with the de fendant had been proved. It might be assumed that the defendant had seen prospectuses containing his own name, but his merely consenting to that use of his name was not entering into a partnership, nor would it render him liable for all the acts done by other parties or committeemen. His Lordship thought that Campbell, in the transaction shown, had not power to impose upon the defendant this liability to the plaintiff. . _ Plaintiff nor.suited. In two other causes standing for trial, and we presume in volving the same question, " Campbell v. Watts," and " Stokes v. Watts," the same gentleman was the defendant, and the plaintiff in the former of these was Mr. P. Campbell, the witness for Webb. A nonsuit was entered in both. The civil business was concluded this evening. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAIL) Robert Henry Leighton, late captain of the schooner Helen, of Sunderland, John Bowinaker, the mate, and Thomas Fair dough, Thomas Wallace, 'and William Crozier, seamen on board, were jointly indicted for the offence of damaging the said vessel with intent to destroy her. Mr. Matthews and Mr. Liddell appeared for the pro secution, and Mr. Pashley, Mr. Otter, and Mr. King for the defence. The Helen; the property of Mr. Ralph Hutchinson, had been put in repair by him, as it was stated, was freighted with coals, and, being insured for the sum of 6001., had sailed from Sunderland on the 24th of April last, bound for Swinnemunde. She met with no accident until the morning of the 26th, when, as it was alleged, at about 1 A.M., and being upwards of 30 miles from shore, she sprang a leak. The captain then put her about, and she came to anchor the same evening. There appeared to be no reason why the crew should not have run her ashore; but at an early hour on the morning of the 27th she sank, and the crew came ashore in her boat, without, so far as the evidence showed, having made any effort to save the ship. After sinking, the Helen again floated, and she was brought to shore; and some time afterwards, but not until the 2d of May, it was found that holes had been bored in her bottom with an auger, which must have been made from the inside of the hold. Although it was stated that the owner had caused the vessel to be put in repair, some of the timber produced in court showed that she was not in a condition to be fit for sea. It was not proved that the prisoners had any particular motive for committing the offence charged ; and, moreover, the holes found in the timbers might have been made at some tine after the vessel had been towed ashore. The prisoners, in the absence of more conclusive evidence, were Acquitted. July 29. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN sat this morning to try two re maining cases of felony. To-day is the commission-day at Newcastle-on• Tyne. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—Exeter, July 29. NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice ERLE and a Special Jury.) THE QUEEN V. CUDLIP. Mr. Crowder, Mr. Cockburn. and Mr. Greenwood were counsel for the prosecution. The prisoner was undefended. This was a prosecution instituted by the officers of the Customs, against the defendant, for an assault committed upon Charles Cuddiford and Edward Conway, two Custom house officers at Plymouth, while they were engaged in the execution of their duty. According to the case for the pro secution, it appeared that on the evening of Tuesday. the 30th of September, while the keeper of the Custom-house ware house, of the name of Cuddiford, was on the Plymouth and Tavistock-road, he saw the defendant with a bag on his shoulder coming out of a field. Cuddiford asked him what he had got there. The defendant replied " Nothing," dropped the bag and ran away. Although pursued the de fendant got away, but before Cuddiford discontinued the pursuit, he called to the defendant and toll him he knew him, and could swear to him. Cuddiford returned to the bag and found in it a keg of spirits, which upon examination proved to be brandy. Cudditord saw the defendant on the 6th of October in Plymouth, and told him to stop. The de fendant, however ran away. Caddiford ran after him, when the defendant struck him with a stick. Conway then came to the assistance of Cuddiford. The defendant took hold of Cuddiford by the neckcloth and called for his son. The son then came and struck Conway with the butt-end of a pistol. A crowd assembled, and Cuddiford called upon the people to assist him ; they, however, took the part of the defendant and rescued him, and he was not again taken; but he ap peared to day to defend himself. The defendant, in his defence, merely said that he was not aware he was to be tried to-day until yesterday, and there fore he had no counsel. Mr. CROWDER said notice had been served on the at torney. The Learned JUDGE said that if the proceedings were illegal they might be set aside ; but the question at the present moment was whether or not the defendant was guilty. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty.—Sentence, six months' imprisonment and hard labour. .._ ..---. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PLAIT.) Thomas Cooper was convicted of rape, and sentenced to be transported for life. Several witnesses were called to prove an alibi. After the conviction, The Learned BARON asked the jury if they believed that two of those witnesses came to the court intending to state `at which was true? The jury replied that they thought they did not. Mr. baron PLATT then ordered those two persons to be taken to gaol. It was a gross contempt of the Court for persons to come there and commit perjury. Mr. Iloldsworth and Mr. Collier were counsel for the pro secution, and Mr. Cox defended. There were several persons tried during the day for similar ofences, but the details were such as could not be published.

The broods are very strong in the wing, and the coveys are large, and the prospect of an early harvest will enable the sportsman to enter the field on the Ist of September without the usual restrictions with re spect to standing crops. PORT GLASGOW.—FATAL ACCIDENT.—Last week an accident of a very melancholy nature occurred here, c h a v e which Captain Duncan Ritche, agent for the old n Clyde Shipping Company, was deprived of life. .It seel a s y t e n ss a e t l , while some workmen were discharging cotton in the harbour, he put his hand to the bales to ri th o c e iti r t o a p t e e ascent from the hold, and just at that moment gave r with tbe cotton down way, arid he was precipitated Mon" the hatchway.

Thiers arri ve d at Havre this day (Tuesday) by the steam-boat the Seine, from Rouen, and took up his quarters at Frascati's H ote l , wherehis family have been waiting for him for some days past. On the same day Horace Vernet, the celebrated painter, and Soliman Pacha (Colonel Selves), arrived at Havre, by the Hamburgh steamer, from Rotterdam. They are also residing at Frascati's, where a number of distinguished persons have arrivedduring the last week, among whom we May mention the Prince of Wurtembourg. It is said that Soliman Paella, who is the intimate friend of Horace Vernet, intends proceeding to Paris, when the Havre regatta, which com menced on Tuesday, is over, to visit his friends and com patriots, and the capital, before his return to join his master, Ibrahim Pacha. Mr. Cobden is daily expected in Tlavre, on his way to the south o f E uro p e , f or the benefit of l;is health. Letters addressed to him, to the care of an eminent mer chant in llavre, were received on Tuesday morning, and, from the hearty manner in which this announcement was made on the Bourse, we should suppose that his reception by the mercantile class will be a most gratifying one. It is said that Mr. Cobden intends to take Bordeaux in his route, where, doubtless, he will be received with open arms by a city that has followed so energetically in his wa k e , an d t h at 11p011 iglu as the father of oorawercial reform.
