Mr. Charles Gavin Duffy, of the Nation, and Mr. John Francis Maguire, of the Cork Examiner, both enter Par liament, the former having defeated Sir T. N. Redington, the late Irish Under-Secretary, and Mr. Lambert, the Con servative candidate in New Ross; and the latter, after three former defeats, having at length succeeded in obtaining pos session of Dungarvon, his opponent being a candidate of his own principles, the brother of Mr. Flaherty, the Member for Galway. Mr. Sadleir, in Carlow, and Sir T. O'Brien, in Cashel, have resumed their former seats, and beaten their Tory opponents. In Limerick the result is not what was anticipated. Mr. Russell, the Liberal Protestant and Free trader, who was defeated on a former occasion by Lord Arundel, having, contrary to general expectatation, succeeded in getting in with Mr. Potter, another most liberal and popular candidate, in supporting whom all parties were unanimous. Mr. Charles Townley has ousted John Patrick Somers from Sligo; and Mr. Butt has obtained the seat lately held by Mr. C. Anstey in Yonghal. DREADFUL RELIGIOUS AFFRAY IN BELFAST— LOSS OF LIFE. The Belfast Mercury, of this morning, has the following account of an alarming and fatal riot, which took place in that town last evening, and which appear° to partake of a sectarian character : " One of the most fatal affrays that have occurred in Bel fast for a long period, took place yesterday evening—it was still more lamentable than the York-street riot, both in cha • racter and consequences. The origin of the affray seems almost unknown to any person, but so far as we can learn, it arose altogether outof the circumstances of the previous even ing in Cullingtree-road. A number of Roman Catholics and Protestants who inhabit that street had quarrelled, matter seemed to have been quelled. The girl M'Laughlin, who was wounded in that affray, having been removed to the hospital, a rumour of her death was circulated among the Roman Catholic population of Barrack-street and Cul lingtree-road and round about Old Pound. Whether by pre-concert we cannot say, but almost in a mass they turned out, and commenced to wreck the houses o having reached the Orangemen of Sandy-row, theybut the the Protestant inhabitants in Cullingtree-road. This at once to defend their friends, and the two parties meeting , a most fearful engagement ensued. Both parties appeared to be prepared for a determined encounter, as a vast number of them were armed with guns and pistols - those who vier e not so armed tore down brickbats from the dead walls anu, gathered stones from every quarter. The commencement of the riot was about eight o'clock in the evening, and i aware began so suddenly, that before the constabulary were several thousands were fighting in Durham-street and np to Mill-street. The balls were flying like hail, and the aspect of the people was murderous. It was quite im possible for the constabulary to make head against the de termination evinced on both sides, and even could they have succeeded for a little, they would have been imme diately diately overwhelmed by reinforcements that poured into Roman Catholic party from Mullan's-corner. In the mean time assembled fighting was going on in Carrick-bill. The rioter s were armed with grapes, pitchforks, spades, shovels, a nd every weapon that hand could be laid on. It wa s t a appa rently the rioters in that locality that poured upon and police in Durham-street. The mayor, Mr. Tracy. read other magistrates, came on the ground immediately the y . received notice of the encounter, and proceeded to d, a the Riot Act ; but before this was accomPlishe ssive a ggre party, began an indiscriminate attack on every house t fro m Durham-place to midway down Townsend-stree t , 813 d there is scarcely a habitation that is not more or . !!, 5 , 5 e in jured, and some of them are completely sin"' the frames windows and sashes broken to atoms, beaten in.

OPelkOZ CS the AM 07 of the " W ""1914 sus Your correspondent has conclusively shown that the actuaries acted wisely and judiciously, when he says that there are 25 resignations to one death; but there was still another reason for their advising as they did, which was, that had they given the preference to a return in case of death, there would have been no possibility of securing a similar advantage to those who might leave the service; whilst now, by a very simple arrangement, and a t th e t r ifling cost of a few shillings a year, ev er y su b scr ib er can, b y i nsuring his life for the amount of premiums he pays, secure the advan tage contended for by your correspondent. And thus we see, th a t t h e p ro po se d association will secure to the subscribers this most important advantage, that if they do not participate in the benefits contemplated by the association, they or their represen tatives will receive back the whole of the contributions they have paid to the fund. I submit, Sir, that these are benefits which could be secured by no other m eans t h an b y the adopt i on of the scheme which you have so ably and so consistently supported, and I cannot doubt but that this opinion will meet with concurrence from all railway officials, when they are made acquainted with the bearing of the terms of the proposed scheme.

Bnt,—The powerful manner in which you have advo cated the question of railway superannuation will secure you the gratitude of hundreds who have wasted years in the service of railway. companies, to prevent the • at salaries so low as possibility of their making provision, however trifling, ter the future; and those who, like my self, can look back on twelve years' service will feel more than doubly grateful. As regards the vaxed question of returning payments in case of death, one import/7:lf t pant seems t o h ave b een overlooked, it is that only payments will be re • turned, the half paid by the proprieto rs of each i wcompany e of course being retained for the fund, and sucha the case if a clerk withdraws from the society. If my ideas are correct, and the point fairly con sidered, I cannot see how in common Justice it can be decided against us. As regards the proposition of insuring that sum, it does not appear to have been considered that the low rate of railway salaries *ill not admit of so many draw backs, as few can know the per-tentage to be deducted for losses, bad money, Stc., &c.

The Washington, Hermann, Hum boldt, and Franklin are now making their Atlantic passages in almost as short a time as Cunard's best steamers. The Franklin has just run from New York to Cowes in about 10* days. The Washington and Hermann were the first ocean steamers the Americans built, and they were comparative failures; the Humboldt and Franklin were the next steamers , and they exhibited a decided improvement. Then came Collins's steamers, the Atlantic passages of which have been extraordinarily rapid. The defect of the first Americas ocean steamers was in their machinery ; fractures in i_tl„ consequent breaking down, were frequent. The As!r e En _ used to laugh at the labour and expense bestowed y L " glish in giving a smoothness and polish to some - that rougher steam-packet machinery, and they imagine snsa.

There was no festive opened io Oe dernonstration either by the directors or the public. The first train left Rexford at 6 A.M., and, notwithstanding the early hour, many persons were assembled to witness its de parture. The train reached Peterborongh in two hours and oven minutes. Another train was dispatched from Peter borough at 6 15 A. M , and arrived at Retford at 8 46, being four minutes within its time. Owing to the bad understand ing which prevails between the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, and Great Northern Companies, the public are compelled to make a circuit of nearly two miles in order to reach either station from the other, although the two are only about 300 yards apart. The opening of the above por tion of the Great Northern reduces the route from London to Sheffield 16 miles, London to Wakefield 16 miles, London to Leeds 22 miles, and London to York 30 miles. ELECTION OF SCOTTISH PEERS.—The following representative Peers were elected at Edinburgh yesterday . —The Marquis of Tweeddale, the Earl of Morton, the Earl of Home, the Earl of Strathmore, the Earl of Airlie, the Earl of Leven, the E arl of Selkirk, the Earl of Orkney, Lord &afield. Lord Saltoun, Lord Grey, Lord Sinclair, Lord El phioatone, Lord Blantyre, Lord Colville, and Lord Polwarth. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The able article which you inserted in your impression of yesterday, relative to the letter from " Clericus" on the important subject of railway super annuation, would seem to render it unnecessary for any further reply to be made to the objection pointed out by your correspondent; but as it is possible that complete silence might lead to misap prehension, I trust you will permit me, as one who has ventured lately to take a somewhat prominent part in the discussion of the qua shim), to say a few words upon the point raised by " Clericus." I quite admit that the point is a most important one, and one which, //possible, ought to be met in a liberal Spirit. But it must be borne in mind that the provi sional committee would not be justified in acting, ex . eept under the advice of the actuaries theylhave con stilted. This advice is, that it will be practicable to return the amount paid by a subscriber should he leave the service, but not in the event of his death. This advice was sought, in consequence of urgent re presentations made to the provisional committee, that their original intention upon these two points wa s causing a serious amount or dissatisfaction. The eminent actuaries consulted, Mr. Ansell and Mr. Neison, approached the consideration of the ques tions submitted to them, with an earn es t desire to give such an opinion as would secare the greatest benefit to the subscribers, consistently with a due regard to the stability of the fund. They felt that in the present position or the known data connected with this subject, it would not be prudent for them to recommend both points to be granted, and accordingly turned their at tention to the question as to which it would be most de sirable to concede. —__„., THE RATING OF EXETER-HALL. The question of rating Exeter-hall, which has been for some months in dispute between the proprietors and truste es of that building and the parochial authorities of St. Mart._ in-the-Fields, came on for argument before the bench of magistrates, at the Strand special sessions, on Wednesday last, upon an appeal against an assessment to the poor .rate of 2,0001. Mr. Edmund Antrobus presided, and among the magis trates present were Mr. Firnie, Mr. Stillwell, and other gentlemen. Mr. Holl, the barrister, appeared on behalf of the appel_ lants; Mr. C. Robertson Griffiths was in attendance on be , half of the respondents. Mr. Cantwell, surveyor of the parish of St. Martin-in-the- Fields, proved that the ordinary mode of assessing property of this description was to impose 6 per cent. upon the cost of the building, in the case of Exeter-hall estimated to amount to about 30,0001. This sum, at 6 per cent., would give 1,8007., in addition to which a ground rent of 488/. per i annum, would make the annual value of the great hall, vaults, and offices, &c., 2,2881., which, in his opinion, might be obtained for the premises from an ordinary tenant. of Mr. Payne, anothe r surveyor , corroborated the evidence Mr. Cantwell. Mr. Alleroft, of Bond-street, and Mr. Goldsmith (of the firm of Cramer, Addison, and Beale), stated that they we re respectively o f opinion they would readily obtain a tenant at a higher amount than the sum mentioned. Mr. Hon, at great length, and in a speech of considerable force, contended that the assessment was far too high, and, in support of his argument, put in a statement of receipts and expenditure for the year ending March, 1851, as follows Receipts—gross income of the year, 3,459/. Expen,diture— rates, taxes, salaries, gas, repairs, &c., 1 , 0 59/.-2,400/. De and for rep a i rs 200/. ; leaving a net rate duct for depreciation, l oss f rom diminution of inoome, bad al & u c e " o 9 f 1,2501.—The 501" L earned Counsel called three sur edbebletsv, veyors, who stated that they considered the ann ua l va l ue to be might from l amo u,loo/. nt to to 1,30 1,504. and one gent l eman, who thought rebutted the stat ement put in, and it 00/. ex M pr r ess G ed riffi h t i h s s' o i p n ly in re io p nihat the . receipts must h ave very greatly exceeded the sum stated . The Learned. Gentleman instanced the case of the Wednesday Concerts, a speculation which had proved eminently successful, realising, for rent alone, not less than 301. per night. The new musical socie ties which had been lately established mast also have added a largely increased income to the property, and h e eon _ sidered there could be no moral doubt of the justi ce o f t h e assessment which had been made. The court having been cleared the magistrates remained in deliberation for a considerable period. Oa strangers being re-admitted, The Chairman announced that the Bench was unanimously of opinion that the rate of 2,000/. should be confirmed. The case excited unusual interest, and the court was densely crowded during the proceedings. THE EMIGRATION moVEMENT.—A number of clerks in the General Post-office and iu the Tithe-office, Somerset House. hare resigned their situations to proceed to Australia. Nine young men belonging to Blandford, in Dorsetshire, embarked at Gravesend yesterday for the gold diggings at Port Philip. These young men could all have done well iu this country. Last week a ship called the Exact sailed from Jersey, laden with emigrants from that island for Port Philip. An immense crowd of persons from all parts of the island assembled to witness the departure of their relatives, friends, and acquaintances. It is stated that Sir Richard Keane, Bart., brotbn to Lord Keane, has been selected to take charge of and I )1, ganize a police force to do duty in Australia, to be composed of 2,000 of the Irish constabulary force.—Dublin Eve • sung Mail. VACCINATION IN THE EAST.—From the 111173Ual report of the National Vaccine Establishment, just published by command of her Majesty, it appears that a large sup p l y of vaccine lymph, having been sent out by the Board of Health at Alexandria, has been found eminently successful, as, in a statement received through Lord Palmerston from Ibrahim Bey, it appears that in the cities and provinces of Lower Egypt 45,642 persons had been vaccinated in one year, and during the last five months only as many as 29,303 had undergone the operation. The same report states that during the past year 218,632 charges of lymph had been sup plied by the National Board, being an excess of 39,262 be yond those of the previous year. In consequence of the failure of the lymph sent out in glass tubes to the various stations on the African c oas t an d to t h e province of Angola, the board i s now engaged in preparing a packet of lymph in a drieSate , becon carefully signed to some responsible officer rather the casualties of the mail bag. THE ELECTION port CillnittTßAM.—We yesterday Government bo r oughs , which had been pnt in ferred to the extraordinary to ensare requisition in most of the . we particularly and in which corrupt the return of the Derby canctidarpesfaenctae specified Chatham as one of the agencies had been most liberally employed. Among the ° facts which will be elicited by a Committee o f the House of Commons in connexion with the Chatham ele c ti on, will be the very ugly one, that Sir Frederick Smith went about through the borough, saying to the electors, " Vote for me. I have all the patronage of the borough in my pocket. The Duke of Northumberland has placed everything at my di a .. posal." Strong must have been the integrity of the poor voter who could have remained unaffected by such an appeal, —Morning Advertiser. SCRRW.STEAMERS. GRIFFITH'S PROPELLERS:— We noticed some time since the trial of the Weaver, a small screw-steamer, built by Mr. Laird for the Bridgewater Trust, fitted by Fawcett and Co. with a pair of 10-horse engines, pointing out, at the same time, the change it might effect in river navigation by means of screw-vessels, the difficulty hitherto having been to obtain speed with a light draught. The dimensions of the Weaver are limited to 66 feet long, 14 feet beam, and 3 feet 6 inches draught of water, in order to pass the locks of the river—a great disadvantage, as it pre vented the builders giving as fine lines as were desirable to ensure speed The Weaver has since been fitted with Griffith's patent screw-propeller, and the result of some trials since made shows an increase of speed, with 25 per cent. less speed of engine —a most im portant point, which must lead to the introduction of Griffith's plan, more particularly in long voyages, where saving of fuel is essential. The runs were made from Woodside-pier to Easthatn-pier, a distance of 5i miles. With the common propeller the engine made 83 revolu tions, and the screw 332 revolutions, while the speed equalled 11 40 statute miles per hour. With Griffith's patent pro peller the revolutions of the engine were only 65, affil those of the screw 260, whil e th e s p ee d was equa l to 12:28 statute miles per hour. The per-centsge the ship bears to the whole speed of the screw is, with the common propeller, 32, and with the patent only 8. Last month a run, with the patent propeller set at 5 feet 2 inches p itch, was ma d e i n t h e Mersey, from th e D u k e ' s D oc k , at Liverpool, up to Weston Point; the distance by the direct course, which can only be taken at high water, is fourteen miles, but by the navigable channel followed by the Weaver it is sixteen miles. The tide was in favour of the vessel, estimated at about three miles per hour, and the distance was accomplished in 55 minutes. Average pressure of steam 101 b.; vacuum, 28 inches ; revo lutions of engine, 62. By the Tay, Brazilian mail steamer, advices have been received from the Queen of the South. She performed her voyage to St. Vincent's, from Plymouth, in nine days, 16 hours, the fastest passage yet made, being at the rate of 236 miles per day, or 10 knots an hour. The Sir Robert Peel screw-s teamer, on her way to C a p e T own, t o t a k e up t h e African coast mail service from Cape Town, to Natal and the intermediate ports, reached St. Vincent's from Plymouth in 13 days, 10 hours, and sailed for the Cape on the 30th June. RETIRING PENSIONS TO COUNTY COURT JUDGES.— rhere is a clause in the County Courts Further Extension Act (15th and It Victoria, cap. h 4), under which, on a petition to the Lord Chancellor, retiring pensions to County Court Judges, to two-thirds of their salaries, may be granted on account of personal infirmity disenabling a judge from the dueexecution of his office. REFORMS IN THE COMMON LAW COURTS.—TWO Acts were passed on the 30th ult. by virtue of which some extensive alterations will be made in the common law courts. Bo' h Acts were :rained in accordance with the recommenda tions of the Common Law Commissioners. The first Act (15 and 16 Victoria, cap. 73) relates to the Nisi Prius officers, and to the payment of j u d ges ' c l er k s b y s alaries. Several offices are abolished, and the present fees reduced. Some fees and gratuities are abolished, and the parties are to be paid by salaries. The Treasury will, with the sanction of the chiefs of the three courts, fix the salaries to be paid, and a new table of fees for the superior courts and the judges' chambers is to be framed. Among the fees abo li shed is one of 6s. Bd. paid on circuit " for the use of the j ud g e." The other Act is called the Common Law Procedure Act (cap. 76). This Act contains as many as 236 clauses, and its object is to render more simple and speedy the process, prac tice,pleading in got rid law courts.

Anticart COTTON.—SmaII parcels of cotton con tinue to arrive from the western coast of Africa. We have been favoured with samples from a lot of five small bales, containing 1,0261 b., consigned to a gentleman ' in this town, and now on their way from the coast. The cotton seems exceedingly clean and well got up, the colour good, the staple of good length, b u t not very strong. however, exceedingly u se f u l f or s innin would be, P equal in value to f a i r b owed. We h g weft, and is probably ear, also, of another parcel of about the same amount, purchased on the coast with f un d s sent out for th at purpose by Lady Buxton. The important question of the pri ce a t w hi c h A frican cotton can be im ported remains yet undete rm i ne d ; b ut we see no reason for supposing that the labour which is employed during one portion of the year in collecting palm oil, and at others in the cultivatien of ground nuts, cannot be profitably turned to the growth of cotton, for which, if we may judge from the natural produce of the wild plant, the soil and climate of Western Africa are peculiarly adapted— much more so, indeed, than those of any of the countries from which we now receive our supplies of that material. It is only by a judicious selection of seed, and by careful cultivation, that the quality of American cotton is kept on an equality, or something near an equality, with the unaided produce of the wild plant of Africa ; and hence there is rea son to suppose that, with some moderate amount of skill and care in the cultivation of the latter, it would produce t cotton more abundantly, and of better quality, than the American plant; while the great regularity of the seasons and the invariable absence of frost would preserve it from those vicissitudes which always threaten the produce of the United States, and frequently diminish its quantity and injure its quality to a very serious extent.—Manchester Guardian. MONEY MARKET.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 4 per mills prem. (according t_o s th l e co n d ew tariff ), which, at the English Mint price of 31. 7 1 of. 25.27 per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange short be ing ; and the ex change at Paris on London at 25.35, it follows o.32per cent. dearer in London than ' that gold is about H b rein Ham burgh th e • Paris.
