The ship Westmorland had sailed with the other divi sion of the regiment on the 10th of July. The ship Hindostan put in at St. Helena, and sailed on the morn ing of the 12th. During the passage, owing to several of the men being worn out and of broken cor.stitutions, six of them died. One child died, and five children were born on board. Captain Saunders' lady, and also the lady and two children of Lieutenant Cassidy, came w ith the above ship. Ilium inspection of the . men it was found necessary to forward to the • Hospital Depot at Fort Pitt about 80 of them. The 57th has been in India twenty-two years : its strength is about 650 men, and their depot at this garrison is about 250 strong. At the time the Hindostan put in at St. Helena the troops on board heard that the Mary Ann, containing the head quarters, had been towed into the Cape by a steamer. The 57th occupy quarters at Brompton Barracks.

The Very Re-. Dr. BURKE, parish priest, then rose, and was warmly received. The reverend gentleman re viewed the condition of Ireland, socially and politically, during the last half century, regretted the misery under which the people laboured—trusted that a better state of things was about to dawn on Ireland—and, as a e..n vincing proof that the Raman Catholics did not desire ascendancy, - or that they - were opposed to aristocracy, especially when its members were devoted to the pros purity of their country and their kind, instanced the fact, that though candidates were plentiful, and might be easily procured, nevertheless, they (the Roman Ca. tholic consituency) had met that day for the purpose of electing a Protestant representa'ive, in the person of the Hon. Cecil Lawless, a gentleman, too, of high aris tocratic bearing—but of the right sort. Alderman HACKETT, in brief but energetic terms, se conded the nomination. The usual period baying elapsed, and no other candi date-having been proposed, the Mayor declared the Mu . . Cecil LYnless duly (.1,-cted to serve in the Imperial Parliament for the borough of Clonmel. Three cheers were then given for the Mayor, Lord Cloncurry, repeal of the Union, Mr. O'Connell, - &c. The Mayor having vacated the chair, and Dr. Burke having been called thereto, the marked and especial thanks of the burgesses (on the motion of Alderman Hackett, seconded by Town-Councillor O'Neill), were accorded to Mr. Bianconi for his unwearied exertions in the cause of Ireland, and more particularly fo; his anxiety at all times to preserve the indel)endence of Clon mel. The return was afterwcrds signed by many electors in the judges' chamber, and thus terminated the election of a Member for Clonmel. Mr. Lawless, who is in Scotland, published no address, nor has any communication whatever been received from him. This apparent indifference had, for some days, caused the deepest dissatisfaction ; but the friends of Mr. Lawless explained the matter by stating that that gentlema❑ had not been apprised of his selection as a candidate, in consequence of the shortness of the inter • vening time.

He warned all those persons assembled to go home peaceably and quietly when the meeting was over, and on no ac count to drink intoxicating liquor. The Rev. Gentleman throughout was cheered by the multitude. The Rev. Mr. TUOMY, R C.C., then proposed the fol lowing resolution:—" That we, the inhabitants of the barony of Koury, have assembled here this day peace ably, legally, and constitutionally, for the express pur pose of sending our humble petition to our most Gracious Sovereign the Queen, informing our Sovereign and her councillors of the impending famine, and the distress consequent thereon."

Mr. FOLEY, on leaving the chair, again warned the people assembled, in the most emphatic manner, to go home soberly and quietly, which they all said they would ; and we are happy to say they kept their word, for out of the immense crowd there was not one man ob served"drunk. COLLIERS STRIKEs.—In the laSt report of the Commissioner of the Mining Districts, under the Act 5 and 6 Victoria, cap. 99, some interesting particulars are given relating to the " strike" of the colliers in 1844 in Northumberland and Durham. The last was the fourth strike in the north of England, and was the most complete combination yet effected among the colliers. In the words of the Commissioner—" It was set on foot by certain delegates p tid by various districts, with the avowed object of causing all the collieries and iron mines of the United Kingdom to limit their hours of work, to reduce the supply of coal and iron ore, to force up the prices, and then to make the public contribute to pay them higher wages for their diminished quantity of labour." The strike commenced on the sth of April, 1844, on which day nearly the whole of the persons employed below ground in Northumberland and Dur ham, amounting to upwards of 22,000 men and boys, ceased work, and not until the end of July did they resume their labour in the usual manner, and on their masters' terms. It was the fourth great disturbance of labour that had occurred in that district since 1826 ; a strike of some duration took place in that year, and again in 1831 and 1832. " Hitherto," states the Commissioner, " the expectation among the best informed persons in those districts 'has been that an extensive combination or strike will occur once in every ten years. The experience of 1826, of 1831, and 1832, had no cffect in preventing what took place in 1844. Two years have since elap se d, an d having re cently, in the course of an official tour through those counties, informed myself as to the ultimate results of that obstinate struggle and as to the measures since put in operation by the masters in the hope of preventing is recurrence, I conceive it falls within my duty, as commissioner of inquiry into the state of the mining population, to record for your information any facts which may have a tendency to bring about a more har monious state of things for the future, in a district so populous and important as that of the coal fields of Northumberland and Durham." It seems that the con duct of the large body of people was, with few excep tions, peaceable and exemplary. Two or three attempts at resistar.ce to authority occurred, but they were soon put down. Their demeanour showed, that though ca pable of being misled, their general intelligence and their sense of right had undergone an im?ro e neat. The commissioner is of opinion that sound religious in struction is needed, and he gives an account of the im provements effected in that respect. Much, however, remains to be done to counteract the poison of hired de egates, both in politics and religion. RE-OPENING OF FLEET-STREET.—The carriage road of Fleet-street was, after considerable delay, re opened yeltercley. Head-constable O'Malley and the police from the se veral district stations were in attendance, but had ro occasion whatever to interfere, as the greatest order and decorum prevailed. The Limerick Chronicle, a Tory paper, contains the following : On Thursday last a laze assemblage, chiefly composed of the labouring clasies, took place on the summit of Knockfirinch. This hill is situated to the southward of the road leading from Croom to Bailin garry,:and about mid-way between those towns. As this meeting was called by means of anonymous notices, some danger to th., peace of the district was apprehended, and the police, unier Inspector Smyth, were on the ground at an early holt.. No disposition to vi o l a t e the law, however, was manifested, and the parish priest, Archdeacon Fitzgerald, having appeared on the ground about two o'clock, prevailed on the assembled multitude to . adopt with 'perfect unanimity the resolutions which appear elsewhere in our columns, and which, on the whole, are characterised by good sense and-moderation.

THE IRISH POOR -LAW—THE DISTRESS. The Poor-law Commissioners have issued the follow. ing important document, in the form of a circular to the various unions. The subjoined has been received at the Lisburn union. The object of the Commissioners is to render Ihe existing poor- law as extensively available as that very imperfect and insufficient measure is capable of, at the present emergency:— " Pool-law Commission-office, Dublin, 10th September, 1846. "Sir,—Adverting to the information received from the board'of guardians re gar di ng t h e state o f t h e potato crop in the Lisburn union, I am directed by the Poor• law Commissioners to express their deep regret that the report of the guardians is to so great an extent unfa vourable. " The Commissioners anticipate, in consequence hereof, a great increase of poverty and distress among the labouring population of the union ; and it is their earnest wish that those means of affording relief which the law has placed at the disposal of the guardians should be made available, to the utmost practicable extent. " They recommend, therefore, that the guardians should promptly bring under review the subject of their contracts for provisions and other supplies, the present state of their stocks of bedding and clothing, and the general state of their finances, so as to be prepared, in due time, f.ur any accession to the number of inmates, which the present circumstances of the union render probable. " In making such preparations, the Commissioners urgently advise and call upon the guardians to base the estimates for their financial and other arrangements, on the assumption that the whole accommodation which the workhouse affords will be placed i n requisition during a considerable period, commencing from the close of the present autumn. The means of relief placed at the disposal of the guaraians being limited, it will ba a source of satisfaction hereafter, both to the public and to the guardians themselves, if nothing bc left undone to make the utmost use of those means, so far as may be found necessary, especially in the relief of the primary objects of the Irish poor law—aged, infirm, or otherwise disabled persons, to whore relief the recent measures of Parliament, enacted for the employment of labour, apply only in an indirect manner, and who may therefore be expected to form the class most liable to destitution in consequence of the pre sent calamity. What number of inmates may be safely and properly accommodated in each department of the workhouse is a question upon which the guardians will not fail to con sult their medical officer, from time to time, as occasion may require. " With reference to any change of the workhouse dietary, which may become desirable, through failure "of a supply of sound potatoe4, the Commissioners call the attention of the guardians to their sealed order of . the 27th October last, which remains in full force, au thorising such departure from the prescribed form of dietary as to the guardians, subject to the approval of the Commissioners, shall seem fitting and expedient.N " The assistant-commissioner, in superintendence of the union, is specially instructed to afford the guardians on this occasion all the assistance and co-operation it may be in his power to give.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, " B. BANKS, Clerk First Class. " To the Clerk to the Guardians, Lisburn - Union." SUPPLIES OF FOOD. LIMERICK, SEPT. 12.—The Alban steamer dis charged " bread stuff" this day at the quay, and the Pluto returns to Tarbert with a supply of coals for the Stromboli. The Stromboli steam-frigate, Captain Fisher, has ar rived at Tarbert, from Cork, with a full cargo of "bread stuff-," for the Commissariat in this city, which are being transrerred to the Alban and Pluto Govern ment steamers, and landed at the quays here. The Stromboli from eleven until ono o'clock on Monday, op posite Whitebay, Cove, fired 68-pound shot and large shells, at a target moored off Rostellan, a distance of two miles. The bursting of the shells in the air had a grand effect. THE ARMY. LIMERICK, SEPT. 12.—The 83d regiment, in this garrison, unexpectedly received a countermand on Thursday morning, from the Quartermaster -General's office, Dublin, and will, it is supposed, remain for the winter. The first division was to have marched hence yesterday morning for Dablin, and the baggage was actually packed up. The 55th regiment landed in Cork, from Devonport, en route to this garrison, are also countermanded, and will remain in their present quarters. THE CROPS IN THE WEST. _ . _ We have lat3ly had an opportunity of inspecting per sonally the state of the crops in a large district of this county, and with regret we are obliged to say that one universal scene of desolation, so far as regarded the potato crop, presented itself to our view. We feel as sured that, in a fortnight at furthest, there will not be a sound potato in the county of Galway. The oat crop, in saving and cutting down which the people were tor the most part engaged during the week, promises a fair return, but not so abundant as was that of the last year, and wheat, which is all safely lodged in the haggard, appears to yield more than an average return. If kept in the country, there would be plenty of provisions for the support of the people, but if some check be not given to exportation, we have the worst apprehensions for the safety of the nation. We are happy to state that on Wednesday night the hardy fishermen of the Claddagh met with more success than has attended their labours on any occasion during the present season, several of the boats engaged in the herring fishery have taken over three thousand each. We sincerely hope they will prove even more fortunate in future, and that there will be. . a good supply of fish for the use of the poor as well as for the rich. The price at market on Thursday was 13s. per thousand. Yesterday there was a good supply of coarse fish at Market._ Galway Mercury of Saturday. MEH ;,MET ALI and THE SULTAN CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 27.—A notion seenis to have got abroad that Mt hemet Ali was not well received here : that he was designedly humbled, and subjected to many slights and indignities by the Sultan and his ministers. There is not a word of truth in all this : and a fact or two will at once prove the contrary. It is said that he was treated like a common Pacha. He might. have been so treated without any violation of etiquette. But when did the Sultan ever advance into the ante chamberof his hall of audience to take a common Pacha by the hand and lead him to a seat placed on the same level with his own? When was a kiosque of the Sultan ever placed at the disposal of a common Pacha? When was a common Paella everinvited to dine with the Sultan Valide? None of these favours have ever been known to have been conferred on any mere subject of the Sultan, how ever. illustrious ; nor were the two last ever extended before, even to a crowned head. They must be taken, therefore, as untnistakeable tokens of the high distinc tion with which the Sultan intended to receive the Viceroy of Egypt. Nothing can be more at variance with the character of Abd ul-Medjid than that he should have taken advantage of the voluntary visit of Mehemet Ali to pay off old scores by a peevish sti n ti ng o f h onour and hospitality, and to requite the wars of an illustrious rebel by such little revenges as a woman might use, of frowns and turnings of the back. No—whatever the Sultan's faults may be, he is emphatically a gentleman. His conduct towards Mehemet Ali has been marked throughout with dignity; he had it in his power to mortify the foe of his house, and that under the pretext of a cere monious necessity, by levelling him with the herd of his vessels. But he preferred to treat that foe generously, and to show him all the distinction he could without com promising his own relation as sovereign paramount. Much stress has been laid upon the fact of no salute be ing fired when Mehemet Ali took his departure. This arose from the pretension of the Viceroy to be answered by as many guns as he gave —namely 21 —as if he were an independent sovereign ; whereas the Porte declined to consider him as of higher rank than the Grand Vizier, who upon such an occasion would receive only nineteen gun , . Therefore it was agreed that no guns should be fired on either side. Nor was this the only point in which Mehemet Ali comported himself in regal style. He insisted that he should not be re qaired to return the visits of ministers ; in which pre tension he was humoured, and Kiamil Pacha was charged with the vicarious acknowledgment of these. It is sail, that during his first interview with the Sultan, he shed tears; and excused himself humbly for the harsh proceedings to which he had been driven against Mah moud. Upon receiving the assurance which he implored of the Saltax's pardon, he is reported to have said, with much effusion of feeling , "I was the sl ave o f your Majesty; you emancipated me ; but now l am b ecome t}ourhat s s , l ) te r v t e o a i g• o tir a speech not e n ti re l y destitute of iiio;'n'tal grace which th e Turks accuse him of being deficient in. The Sultan presented him with a diamond, worth 2,500 purses, excusing the smallness of the gift. Mehemet Ali replied, that had it been a pebble, that he should henceforth rank the present above all his other jewels. People are wild here to know the meaning of this strange visit. The most improbable and contradictory reports prevail. One is, that the Viceroy's journey was prompted by the desire of changing the succession of his kingdom in favour of Abbas Paella, whom he left governor ad interim, and of excluding Ibrahim. I confess this idea appears to me extremely unlikely, considering the great superiority of itNiNG SEPTEMfIf f 16 , t(1-, 4. Ibrahim to Abbas in point of talent, while the old Vice roy, shows no signs of that dotage which could dictate so undesirable a change. Be this as it may, it is cent 'n that nothing less than political ends of the greatest im portance could hate dictated so enormous an outlay ; for besides 2t)0,000i which he brought with,him, he is said to have drawn on the bankers here, to the tune of 150,0004 FREE TRADE IN PRANCE. At a numerous agricultural meeting which took place on the Bth inst., at Famine (Seine Inferieure), which wee attended by several thousand farmers, agriculturists, and manufacturers, the Chairman (M. Barbet, Peer of FronceVook occasion to attack, in a prepared discourse, the Free Trade Society. Fortunately, one of the most enlightened of the members of this association, M. Anisson Duperron, Peer of France, as as on the platform beside the chairman ; he immediately accepted the chal lenge made by M. Barbet, his impromptu speech being received with much favour by an auditory that could not be supposed prepossessed. In his speech M. Du perron said that when invited to take part in that agri cultural fe'e,. he had not been informed of the attack which their chairman meditated on a national, serious, and important association, to which he had the honour to belongs He was a zealous member of the association recently and legally formed in favour of the principles of freedom of trade ; it was, therefore, his duty to take upon: himself its defence, and their indulgence would excuse him if an attack, entirely unforeseen in a meet ing such as'that, found him without preparation to meet and repulse it. No, their association was not inimical to the national industry, for it had been constituted pur posely to aid it in circumstances of the greatest danger by which it had ever been menaced, and which, perhaps, many among them did not perceive ; the very existence of their foreign commerce was at stake. In favour of their prohibitive system of duties their Chairman ap • pealed to the measures of reform recently introduced in England against the same system by that able minister Sir R. Peel. Those who now held such language should permit him to say, that they understood neither the cha racter nor the tendency of that great revolution ; if they would grant him a few moments attention he would briefly explain it. England had declared the complete, actual, and radical abolition of taxes on raw materials entering as primary elements into the composition of her productions of all kinds. On this condition she hopes ta produce at a very low price, and renounces the principle of protection by tariffs against similar foreign productions. Let them consider the consequences of that measure on the two great industries of which they there that day represented the interests, in the very place in which they were then assembled, those were the agricultural interests and the cotton manufacture. He could not speak of their relations of direct trade with England ; they would undergo but few changes, se long as they persisted in the tariff regulations of which their Hon. Chairman had invoked the mainte nance. Let them rather speak of the foreign markets, into which they felt the necessity of pouring the sur plus of their products ; where these prohibitions had no access, where they . would experience the inevitable com petition of the foreigners, and where they must present their goods at prices relatively as low as his. How would they sustain in those markets the competition of unburdened products, freed from all those charges which weighed down their own productions, when be yond this the inventive genius and persevering activity of the English producer should be still more excited by the necessities of a competition he has not feared himself to attack and provoke ? He told them, with sorrow and conviction, that if they followed the counsels that had been given them, their exportations were at an end. Did they know what their tax on iron cost their agriculture alone ? He had the right of saying it there, for he had detailed the - incontestable calculation, even in the tribune of the Chamber of Deputies, supporting it by the very documents of his adversaries themselves, and that calcu lation had remained uncontested. To agriculture, and agriculture alone, that tax cost more than forty million francs a year, and that solely for the profit of the owners of forests and coal mines, without a single penny of i 1 entering the coffers of the State. As to the cotton manufacturers, their Chairman and the hon urable manufacturers by whom he was sur rounded, and who were listening to him (M. Duperron), well knew that they paid for taxes on the raw material they used, independently of iron and coal. Did they be lieve that it was by quietly sleeping behind their pro tective tariffs that they would be able to oppose free trade England in foreign markets ? England was not asleep ; she had long attacked them by differential duties and protective imports of all sorts, and France had parried with the same weapons, to the misfortune of both countries. Now, in spite of the cries, and the rage and fury of her agricultural producers, England has opened her ports to the grains of all countries, and consequently to the products of every industry. She attacks all rivality by liberty. Let them reflect on that. That was a powerful flag ! It was not they who were to be taught that. There was but one method in the world of subduing the diamond ; it could not be cut but by the aid of the diamond • in the same way, it was only by the aid of liberty that liberty could be resisted. Let them have confidence in that and in themselves, and they would succeed ; and if they followed the road that their Chairman advised them, they would be beaten and driven from every market in the world by low prices, and they would perish and succumb under the blows of freedom. We advise the defenders of protection through out France well to consider these few remarks of M. Anisson Duperron. They show how extensive and how rapid has been the progress of free trade principles in that country—principles which will, it is to be hoped, incite her to more peaceful emulation with England than has hitherto been the case. CLEVER DETECTION.—A gentleman residing at the village of Muttonhole, who had occasion to be in Edin- burgh in the course of Monday, hired a minibus in the evening to convey him home. After leaving town, the gentleman, who was accompanied by a friend, fell asleep in the minibus, as did also his companion. On reaching his destination, he was somewhat surprised to find, that from, the time he entered the cab his money was miss ing. Being convinced that it must have been taken from his person while asleep, be determined to secure the driver and another cabman who was along with him, till such time as the matter was cleared,up. Accord ingly, on alighting from the vehicle, he asked both of these individuals to bring into his house some articles which he had purchased in Edinburgh, and which were lying in the bottom of the carriage. The parties, not suspecting the object he had in view, readily complied. On their reaching a room with their burdens, the gen tleman 'closed the door, and placed his back against it, to prevent their egress till the arrival of the constable at the village, for whom he had sent. The constable, whose name is Beaton, on his arrival, on being informed what had happened, searched the bottom of the mini bus, and amongst the straw he found 81. inclosed in three separate paroles. This sum being 3/. short of the loss sustained by the gentleman, the search was continued, when the remainder of the money was discovered con cealed in the cushion of the driver's seat. Both cab men were thereupon taken into custody, and were on Tuesday remitted by the sheriff for trial.—Scotch paper. A SHERIFF'S OFFICER OUTWITTED.—It is, indeed, very seldom that a sheriff's officer " nabs" it himself whilst " nabbing" others, but on Thursday night week, Mr. Edmund Hartley, the sheriff's officer at Rochdale, caught a Tartar in the person of Mr. John Taylor, of Howarth-cross. Mr. Hartley having called in at a public-house, the Chapel House, in Rochdale, about half past eleven o'clock on Thursday night, met Mr. John Taylor there by accident, against whom he held a war rant, granted upon an attachment out of the Court of Chancery, for a contempt, in not putting in Ws answer to a bill filed on behalf of the infant children of the late Edmund Turner, Esq. Hartley having made Taylor acquainted with the unpleasant document in his pocket, claimed him as his prisoner. Taylor begged that his - situation might not be exposed, and re quested the officer to accompany him to his re sidence to obtain some papers he had there, and which were necessary to enable him to pre pare and put in his answer. Hartley consented, and they proceeded to Taylor's house in a cab, Mr. Par tington, a solicitor, at Rochdale, and a friend or ac quaintance of Taylor's, and who was present, accom panying them by riding outside with the driver. The cab was ordered to pull up about 300 yards from the -house.. _Here they dese:nded, and proceeded towards it, and, on arriving, Taylor went up stairs, followed by Hartley. Taylor then took from a drawer in his bed room a small pocket-book (supposed to contain his money), and then said he was ready. They left the house, and after proceeding some distance towards the cab on their return, Taylor. put . out his foot and gave Hartley a most tremendous blow in the face, which stunned him and knpcked him down, as well as some of his teeth into his throat. Taylor made off across the fields, and has not since been, heard of. The sheriff's officer, we understand, has suffered most severely from the blow, and has not been able to eat or swallow, any thing since. A reward is offered for the apprehension of Taylor.—Local Paper. A WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE BROUGHT TO JUDO MENT.—On Tuesday the sitting magistrates at the pub lic office were called upon to adjudicate in a case wherein one William Shakespeare appeared to answer a charge brought by a rosy, good-looking female of the Dame Quickly department, for that he, the said Willie, had made use of divers threatening expressions, the fulfil ment of which would have led to the annihilation of not only the good-looking complainant, but also the happy man who gloried in calling her wife. The lady having made the bench sensible of the nature of her complaint, " the very head and front of his offending," which by the way had its origin over an ash-hole, the defendant was called upon for his defence. William Shakespeare here upon stood forth, a diminutive man, with a coast-of Guinea complexion, a full dark eye, " in a fine frenzy rolling," and a mouth, the measurement of which ap peared admirably calculated to "speak volumes." Hav ing placed himself in an oratorical attitude, the defen dant began by saying—" His dear and honourable wife—dear to him as the ruddy drops that visited his sad heart—had informed him, what time he re paired to the home she sanctified to renovate his strength by eating his dinner, that the complainant had accused her or for man and wife are one body '—of crimes at which his blood curdled, and which made his hair to stand on end, 'like quills upon the fretful porcupine.'" The namesake of the immortal bard was hero requested to come to the point, when he most energetically and pathetically prayed that he might be heard for his cause. "It is the cause, it is tha cause, my soul ; yet Pll not shed --." The complainant was here asked if she really feared the defendant would do her some injury ; and on her answering in the affirmative, the gentle Willie was bound over to keep the peace and pay 6s. 6d. expenses, upon which—his eyes turned up, the mouth extended its unfair proportions, and with a look "dark as Erebus," William Shakespeare left the court, mutter ing that he "stood upon his bond, "which he was re commended by the court religiously to keep.—Birming ham Advertiser.

The celebrated prima donna is engaged fo 100,000 f., a benefit performance, and with the expreta stipulation that she shall not sing more than three nights a week. The Vienna Gazette speaks well of a new mass composed by a lady, already known in the Imperial city for her perseverance in composition, Mdlle. Nina Stollevark. HAMBURGH.—If we may judge from the terms paid to artists in this city, we should be led to conclude that music and dancing were more honourably estimated than in any other part of Germany. Taglioni, Jenny Lind, Fanny Elssler, and Cerito, have each received 1001. per night. STUTTGARD.—On the 20th of August last the Theatre Royal, which has been closed a long time, in conse quence of its undergoing some extensive repairs, was re opened. It was attended by his Majesty the King and all the members of the Royal Family. who were received with great acclamations by a crowded house. On tbis occasion the long-expected new opera by Lindpainter, entitled, Lichtenstein, was produced. The libretto from the pe'i of the poet Franz Dingelstedt, founded on the story of Lichtenstein by Hauf. MILAN.—The La Scala opened for the autumn season, on the Ist instant, with Rossini's Mose in Egitto, and the ballet Saidanapolos. The opera was performed very indifferently, but the ballet was entirely successful. CESENA.—The prima donna, Teresa de Giuli-Borsi, has made a tremendous stir in this city. Dr. Mendelsohn and Staudigl took their departure from London together, by the way of Dover, on Sun day last—the former to Leipsic, the latter to Vienna. At a meeting of the General Committee of the Bir mingham Musical Festival, held at the News Rooms, Aug. 29, the following resolution was unanimously adopted :—" Resolved, That the thanks of this meeting be given to I. Moscheles, Esq , for the zeal and ability manifested in all his arrangements, preparatory to, and during his conduction of the Festival." —Musical World. 'INCENDIARY FIRES in FRANCE. The departments'in the north and east of France still continue to be affrighted by incendiary fires. The peo ple are exasperated, the peasants watch under arms, night and day ; every one is suspected by them. In many places the coaches are stopped by bands who question the travellers, examine them, and will not allow them to continue their journey, until they have verified their passes and effects. We do not, however, know that any spoliation ,has been exercised in consequence of these visits. Everything is usually conducted with order enough, and the travellers endeavour as much as possible to calm the irritation of these poor people. An insignificant circumstance, however, was lately very near costing the life of a person who was travelling in the coach from the Semur to Avallon. About half-past four in the morning the vehicle 'was stopped by a band of peasants near Toutry, and the usual examination made, when a box of lucifers was found on the traveller in question. He was immediately dragged from the coach, amid cries of "It is he, it is the brigand ! Ile is the incendiary." In vain did he attempt to justify him self. Such was the blind philosophy of these mmn that they resisted all proof. He had passed through Toutry a few days before, and a fire having broken out sherd v after, that was considered sufficient proof of guilt, and it was decided that he must be executed. The only dif ficulty was to decide on the manner of execution, so as to make it as lingering and cruel as possible. Th e wo: men, who were even more furious than the men, wished to inflict upon him the punishment of Abelard, and hang him afterwards. The motion was much approved of, and was about to be put i n f orce, w h en i t was urge d that he would suffer more if he were flayed and quar tered. Finally, however, it was decided that he should be burnt alive. All this discussion took place in the presence of the prisoner, who was seated on a bench, motionless, and his eyes fixed on the ground. lie was repeatedly kicked and struck, and the women and chil dren spat in his face, but he did not dare to stir, for a single movement would have led to instant death. For tunately, at this moment, some gendarmes arrived, and released him from so critical a bituation,—Dekts. ,:. 4r •• et ) PROGRESS or FRENCH INDUSTRY. The Paris corre:pt)ndent of the gJournal gives the f4a wing sketch or [he prof refs and present position of the 1' ..erat iron trade : A glance at the gradual growth of this monopoly cf iron and iron monopoly, me e not be uninteresting. In 1781 the duty , on the ir• pertation of iron in bars was only iwo francs the metrical quintal ; in 1806 it was raised to four francs. No duty whatever was exacted on cast icon. Up to 1814 this protection was found sufficient by the ir• rl nesters of Fiance, although during netirly . all,khat time, Belgium being part of the French emptre, they h id to cont end against the overwhelming competition of the Belgian irenmasters. On the_ establishment of peace England and Sweden sent in ab;iit 6,000,000 kilo grammes of iron. This frightened the French so much that notwithstanding Belgiumwas separated from their country, they demanded the entire prohibition of foie4en iron for two years, and the subsequeni 'adaption of such duties as should enable their iron to be cold in compe tition with foreign. Accordingly a lag - ;dated the 21st of December, 1814, fixed at 2 francs 20 cents the 100 kilogrammes, the cast-iron and iron en gueu.s.es, and, at 16 francs 60 cents the iron in tiers. The law Was adepted with great regret as a temPoraey measure. In 1822 the duties on cast iron was raised to 8 francs 80 cents the 100 kilogrammes ; and on iron from coal to 27 francs 50 cents. At the current prices of the day of English iron the 16 francs 60 cents duties were equivalent, to from 751. to 80/. per cent, that is to say, the French eonsumer paid 175/. to 180/. for what he could have re ceived from England for 100/. ; at the increased duties of 1822 the increased tax upen the consumers was equal to 150 per cent. By means of these duties not less than 31,000.000 francs annually were levied from tho con sumers. The iron masters, however, contended ;hat they did not receive all that amount, but that the wood sellers obtained the greatest part of it. Whatever truth there was in that statement, an inquiry took place, and the consequence was a reduction of one franc in the duty on cast iron and one•fifth of the duty on iron. In Is34s the Government caused a reduction of five francs per 100 kilogrammes to be made in the duty on iron from coal, with the intention cf subsequently making still greater reductions.. In 1835 a further reelection of one fifth of the duty on iron from coal, and of one franc on cast iron, was carried into effect by royal ordinance, and an intimation Was given that it was desirable to reduce by one half the duty on foreign rails. In the subsequent session an attempt was made to reduce the duty on iron from coal 25 per cent. ; on iron from wood 20 per cent. ; on cast iron 2 francs the 100 kilogrammes ; and to admit foreign rails at 5 francs the 100 kilogramestes. These sweeping seductions were, however, net accepted ; but the mere proposition of them frightened the ironmestere into promising that, before long, iron should be as elioaP France as it ever had been in England—that it shouij be so?d_at 120 francs (41, 165.) per ton. But time went on, and no reduction took place. In 1841 the complaints Of high. prices having become general, the Government of Commerce, and a s k e d convoked the Con7:9 ll s General interests of the ironmast ers , if, with Clue regard to 1::".! some reduction could not be izetle in duties equal t o 70 per cent. on cast iron, and 110 rev cent. on iron ? " Not yet," replied the Council, in which , jronmos ters were in a majority. " When then?" asked ties! Go• vernment. "In six years, perhaps,' replied the irolie masters ; "but a duty must always be maintained, for France will never be able to strutegle against the compe tition of neighbouring nations." " Cannot you." said the Government, "make a temporary reduction in fa vour of railways, or let in foreign rails, &c., duty free?" " Can't reduce a farthing," said the iron masters, "and as to admitting foreign rails, it is not to be thought of." On second thoughts, however, they very graciously pleased to promise to consent to a slight xeduction, when iron rails in France should be 417 francs the ton, and •in England only 200 francs. As to what took place the last time the council was assembled, no thing was said about a-general reduction of these scan dalous duties on iron, and your readers will remember that, even as regards the oppressed shipping interest, the ironmasters proposed to withhold all relief. The ques tion now is, will the present Chamber allow the present monstrous duties ? Will it permit railway companies to pay 385 francs and 400 francs the ton for rails, when they can be got in England for 230 francs and 250 francs ? Will they allow the entire population of the kingdom to continua to be heavily taxed for the benefit of a class which has already obtained millions ? NAILERS' STRIKE.-A FACT - TOR THE MONOPO ersTs.—During the agitation for the repeal of the corn 'aws, it was frequently charged upon the advocates of repeal that they were influenced by selfish motives only ; that, being of opinion that a reduction in the pried of food would necessitate a reduction in the wages of labour, they advocated repeal to obtain the reduction. In vain did the Leaguers declare they were influenced by no such motives ; that wages did not de pend upon the price of food so much as on the relative pro portion the supply bore to the demand ; and that, as far as experience could be applied to the solution of the question, it proved that instead of high priced food and bl a b rates of wages going hand in hand together, the reverse was the fact. We believe we are correct in stating that. at no former period has the general rate of wages in all the branches of the iron trade been higher. This remark also applies to colliers and others employed in , mining operations ; and considering the price of all the necessaries of life, the condition of these classes must be materially improved, or rather would be, if temperance mere generally prevailed. If we take any district of the kingdom, and classify the varying rates of wages of the different employments, and inquire into the fluctuations which have taken place, we shall find that portion of the com munity, of any given locality, which is worst paid, is the last to obtain an advance of wages, arid the first compelled : to submit to a reduction. Such is the case of the nailors—tbe worst paid of all artizans in the locality in which they dwell. During periods of de pression the nailors invariably suffer to an extent un known in other trades of the district, and through the late one, which began in 1539, a reduction amounting to2o per cent. on the list of prices by which their work was reckoned took place. During the past two years they have been gradually reducing the rate of discount,, which has bean abandoned some months, and now the men have sent to the masters a new list qf prices, and given a fortnight's notice that they will not work unless these prices are given. The notice expires on Saturday next. :The new list . will advance the I rate of wages from 10 to 20 per cent. Whether the men will obtain this advance a very short time will show. We think they will; for though great numbers of nailors will now be returning from harvt st work, which will increase the , supply of labour, yet the demand for men in the iron works and mines is so great, that should they fail to obtain their demand at once, many of them will be en abled to obtain other employment, and to wait till their request is acceded to.— Worcestershire Chronicle. THE SHREWSBURY PROTECTION ASSOCIATION.— (From a Correspondent.)—The agricultural proice tiunists of Shropshire have just had a gathering at; Shrewsbury, which only served to illustrate the weak ness of the party, and to strengthen the hands of the An ti- m onop °lib ts. The meeting was held at the Raven and Bell Inn, Shrewsbury, and notwithstanding the efforts made to induce a full attendance, and , the Atblication of placards and advertisements, there :Tere scarcely more than fifty persons present. An attempt had been made wry industriously to per .uade the tradesmen of the city that their interests were with the protectionists, and a sort of threat was held out that unless they supported that intf-r.- st the farmers would net deal with them, but the ruse had not . its desired effect, there not being more than half-a.dozen present at the meeting. It shotill be observed tooTlat this, the annual meeting of tne Shropshire Prot ction " . & sEoe i at i on , was appointed to bir :holden an,,ut U. month since, but the attendance on the day' appoirited being excessively meagre, it was deemed Hdvisuble ;to adjourn the meeting tier a time, and to make a move ment in the interim, with the view of getting up a de monstration. That this object has signal!) , failed the protectionists themselves are most reluctantly hound t o acknowledge. The species delivered i n this oxa , ion were full of miserable croakings and anticipations of imaginary evil 4. A SING ULAIL AFFAIR.—In a village not 100 miles from Breadsall there lived a certain fair one, who seemed to have no desire to enter into anything like a matrimonial alliance. Offers had been made to her, but she refused them all with the air of a Diana. Not one would , she accept, though several told their love With. " moving tropes ;" and she seemed determined to live and die a life of " single blessedness." But these are, indeed, remarkable times—all things are so va riabler-and ore fine morning this summer a " change came over the spirit" of our heroine's dream. She actually fell in love with a lucky swain of aboat half her age. There are two proverbs : one is, "it is impossible to love and be wise," the other is, " a woman cannot keip a secret ;'' both these are fallacious, as the sequel will show. So prudent was she with her love, that not a soul knew of it but herself ; and so well did• she keep the secret of her marriage, that not one person in her own house had formed the wildest conjecture when it would take place, till the happy evert was consummated. The bridecake, ring, dresses, licence, and eterything were bought, but neither relative nor the field, a "the trier friend kneW her intention.

A large crowd of persons as••• sembled to witness so novel a sight. It turned out after, that the lady had been banker in the house where she resided, and it was feared she might appropriate more money to her share than was due.—.2K;ttinghanz Journal. SUPPOSED MURDER.—On Thursday last, as a keeper was passing through the forest of Tournehant (Pas de Calais), his attention was attracted by a teeticl odour exhaling from a spot where the earth appeared to have been recently disturbed. He removed part of the earth with his stick, when a corpse, attired only in s shirt, met his view. lie thought a crime had been commit! ed, and gave notice to the officers of justice, who immediate'y betook themselves to the place, where they made a scrupulous examination of the remains • a rope, such as is used for binding fagots, was r oun d the neck, which bore evident marks of strangulation, while a post mortem examination showed that that the corpse had been buried about a month. The suspicion of a crime having been committed seemed more justified ; and it was thought that it might have taken place at the period of the fair of Tourneham, held on the 21st of July. The corpse, however, was that of a stranger, totally .un known in the place. The officers of justice have made active search to- discover the authors of this- supposed crithe, for such it. must be since the body was. stripped, and has seemingly been interred to hide all traces of the murder. Two itenerant venders of needles and other light articles were apprehended on auspleico, at Argues, „
