In our opinion it would be so, and this point we beg to urge on the consideration of all who have an influence with, or a voice at its board." IRELAND. THE RIVAL MANAGERS. r true he had scarcely sufficient physical force to go through the details he had to lay before the meeting, for he had but just arrived from travelling, but yet his heart was anxious, and, his mind was strengthened by the magni tude of the occasion.— ( Cheers.) He was convinced that so much good to the country was never-tendered by a Government, and so much prudence and discretion were never so necessary on the part of the people.—(Cheers.) He regretted the dissensions which had got amongst them, but he (Mr. O'Connell) asrerted that they had only stood by the principle of moral force, the principle on which he com menced his agitation.—(Cheers.) That principle had guided, and would always guide his entire conduct. Yes, he had only to remind them how often he had said, " That the greatest amelioration of human institutions was not worth the shedding of a single drop of blood."—(Cheers.) They bad lost many who had hitherto dignified that association with their talents, and he must especially feel heartfelt and bitter regret at the secession of William Smith O'Brien. — (Hear.) When they were under prosecution, Mr. O'Brien at that moment of personal danger threw himself into their ranks and soon became one of the foremost amongst them.— (Cheers.) Mr. O'Connell, after saying that he had not com promised any of his princip'es, went on to say, he did not Justify himself; he required no justification. He maintained his old position, and laughed to scorn those who prided themselves on a species of pocket courage--(Laughter)—vio lent men who talked of fighting when there was no fighting to be done.—(Cheers.) Mr. O'Connell then charged the Young Ireland party with getting up the late dissensions in the association in his absence, and then went on to observe DUBLIN, AUG. 3.—There has been a report current for the last few days to the effect that Mr. O'Brien and the other seceders from the old establishment on Burgh-quay, are about to set np business on their own account; and, wLti a view of putting an end to the lucrative monopoly so long enjoyed by the head of the ancient firm, are in treaty for the little theatre in Abbey-street, which is to be opened under the management of Messrs. O'Brien, Meagher, and Co. The new house will have for its motto, " Repeal without Rent, Freedom without money." We trust this cruel injustice will be remedied, and a more liberal and enlarged spirit thrown into The Literary Fund. OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE REVIEW. We are distressed to see in the Oxford and Cambridge Review such an article as the one entitled " Russia under Nicholas I." The vein of panegyric which runs through it in favour of a man, whom nine-tenths of man kind regard as the very impersonation of tyranny—and that tyranny the most gratuitous and callous—is some thing so diametrically opposed to the character of this publication that we are both distressed and amazed at the circumstances. The gilding of refined gold is scarcely so extraviwantly superfluous as the gilding of the basest metal is'hypocrital and useless. That is a good fable of the man who ordered his black slaves to be washed, and soaped, and scrubbed, and scalded, in the vain expectition of rendering their skins white. Let .the writer of this paper meditate upon that fable ; let him behold its striking application to himself and his labours ; and recognise the inutility of labouring thus arduously to cleanse Nicholas of the imputations which have been cast upon him. "The people are seldom wrow in their opinions, in their sentiments they are never mistaken," wrote Junius ; and Junius was right. Now the senti ment of the people towards the Emperor Nicholas is one of the most unmitigated contempt. In their senti ment, Junius says, the people are never mistaken— therefore, their sentiment towards the Czar must be based upon absolute truth. Indeed it is discordant with common sense that a personage so immaculate in cha racter as the Oxford and Cambridge 'Reviewer would prove Nicholas to be, should have aroused towards him self sentiments of such universal obloquy. " Where there is smoke be sure there is fire," says the proverb, and on the accuracy of that proverb the present Em peror of all the Russias stands convicted. Lord John Manners pursues his historical ballads by one descrip tive of "The Death of Montrose ;" it is scarcely equal to the preceding. There is a candid notice of Lord Brougham's "Lives of Men of Letters and of ScEence," which is, nevertheless, not quite as commendable to that valuable work as it deserves. " Pierre D'Au busson" is a contribution of high merit, and is moreover a curiosity. The most interesting paper, however, in the Magazine, is the one upon " The Copy right Qiestion"—a question which can never fail to excite attention until it is diffinitely settled. We are thankful to the Oxford and Cambridge Review for having once more revived this " vexed question." that they seemed plainly to accuse him of coalescing with the Whigs. One young gentleman had said that the people would be betrayed. Now by whom were they to be betrayed? It was not his sweet self he meant.—(Laughter.) He meant him (Mr. O'Connell).—(Hear, hear.) In his absence that was insinuated against him. That gentleman was followed by three or four others of the same party, and when pressed to say who they meant, they said they meant nobody. That was the first time he (Mr. O'Connell) was called nobody.— (Laughter and cheers.) The Learned Gentleman then pro ceeded to answer the accusations of the Young Ireland party relative to the late Dungarvon election, and made the same explanations as to the election of Mr. Sheil as had been given so frequently by other members of the Old Ireland party. He said those views had been put forward only for the purpose of creating dissension, and cried shame in those who had brought it Torward fur such a purpose.—(Cheers.) He (Mr. O'Connell) in 1840 called on the association to dis approve the declaration of Lord Ebrington, " That a Repealer should not obtain office under the Government," and he was joined in the cry by the Nation and "Young Ireland ;" in fact, all parties agreed in disapproving of the course pur sued by the Lord-Lieutenant.-- (Cheers.) When he and they acted on this principle, why should they not rejoice to find that they had a Lord • Lieutenant who would not consider a Repealer disqualified from holding office on that account?—(Hear, hear.) The moment that Lord Besborough trampled down Lord Ebringtos, and made a declaration to that effect, up got the Nation and Young Ire land, and called every one who dared to accept office an apostate, showing that their former declarations could not have been sincere, or that they were then insincere.— (Cheers.) Several young gentlemen of talent, family, and fortune, frequently told him (Mr. O'Connell) that they could not join the association, lest they might be injured in their prospects, although ardent Repealers; and if the Nation newspaper and the Young Irelanders were really true to their colours, would they not have been delighted at a declaration of that nature made by the Government, which would have the effect of adding to their ranks many young men, both Protestants and Catholics?—(Cheers.) He (Mr. O'Connell) had reason to know that it was the opinion of Lord Besbo rough: that Repealers should not be excluded from office because of their politics ;—indeed, he would pledge himself to the sentiment, and he was sure the people of Ireland would regard such a man as he ought to be regarded.— (Cheers.) What was the next thing the Young Ireland party suggested? Why, that they should become physical force Repealers—advocates of murder and robbery.—(Hear, hear.) They became revolutionary force men—they profess doctrines contrary to the fundamental principles of the association, and such as would prevent the Protestants of Ireland from joining them—(Cheers) —in fact, if they were to placard the streets to that effect, they could not have been more trea cherous to repeal—he would therefore arraign them all with treachery, with the exception of his friend, Mr. W. S. O'Brien, who was a man of honesty, honour, and truth.— (Hear, hear.) The next matter he wished to allude to was one of great importance, and one on which he would move a resolution ; he alluded to the Nation newspaper, and its connexion with the association.—(Hear, bear.) He would move, " That the committee should consider whether there be any connexion between the Repeal Association and the Nation newspaper; and if so, if it was for the safety of the association that it should be continued." Now he (Mr. O'Connell) believed that no such connexion existed, for he did all in his power to prevent it after and even before the State prosecutions.—(Cheers.) The very moment that the song of " Who fears to speak of '9B ?" was published— which by-the-by was written by a Fellow of Trinity- Ca liege, Dublin —he severed the connexion; but, not withstanding, a bench of judges was got to decide that he was bound by that song; a decision that he would call monstrous and profligate.—(Cheers.) They might send judges again, and they should be prepared for them, and not let themselves be again involved by the Nation, and, as counsel for old Ireland, he would keep them out of all scrapes. —(Hear, hear.) The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to read several passages from the articles lately published in the Nation, and said they were clearly in favour of physi cal force, and were such as would involve the association, and would have had him convicted and executed for high treason, if read and raised in evidence against him on his trial.—(Loud cheers.) Two indictments for treason were actually prepared is 1843, to be sent to the grand jury, and would have been sent, but they adjourned before it was sent up, and the Government altered their mind.—(Cheers.) It was also said that M. Ledru Rollin offered assistance, and that it was offered by " a surer source" from France. Now he (Mr. O'Connell) admitted that it was offered by M. Ledru Rollin, publicly, and refused publicly; but he denied that any other offer of assistance was made to the association, publicly or privately ; and, if offered, he called on and defied the Nation to say to whom it was offered ; and if it was proved that even his beloved son John joined in the reception of suet a - ipropo: sition, he would have him expelled from the association.— (Cheers.) Were they safe in dealing with newspapers which advocated such doctrines? A Voice—No, we will turn them out.—(Cheers.) Mr. O'CONNELL said they should do no such thing: for, if they did, they would be only acting as the people kWie hly acted when they burned Mr. Beresford's notes, because they disliked his bank.— (Cheers.) The Learned Gen tleman then referred to all he had been able to do for Ireland by moral force, and asked what the ad• vocates of physical force had done ?—(Hear, hear.) It might be said, he had not been successful for the repeal. His answer was, "Wait awhile." But, had not the repeal agitation really done anything for them? Had it not kicked out the Coercion Bill?—(Cheers.) And had it not made Sir R. Peel turn from orange into green, and to declare that " Jus tice should be done to Ireland ?"—(Loud cheers.) And they had also Lord J. Russell's promise to pass the most compre hensive measures for the good of Ireland. He would sup port the present Government as long as they endeavoured to do justice to Ireland; and while they did so he would do everything in his power to assist them : but he was bound to admit that he did not think they could be successful in their favour.—(Hear, hear.) (The Honourable Gentleman then eulogised the new Government for the late official ap pointments they have made in this country, and alluded to those made by the late Administration, which elicited hisses and groans.) There was also the restoration of their magis trates.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. O'Connell) was not a magistrate when he last addressed them, but he was one now.—(Loud cheers.) He feared he would have been unable to address them to such a length as he bad done; but he found that when he came to Ireland he grew young again.—(Loud cheers.) It was strong evi dence in favour of the repeal cause that the Times news paper spoke its sentiments in their behalf.—(hear, hear.) The Times showed the opinion of the majority of the English people. In fact, all classes of people, both in England and Ireland, were coming to an opinion that justice should be done to Ireland. The Learned Gentleman concluded by moving that it be referred to a committee of the association, to ascertain if there was anything between that association and the Nation newspaper of a dangerous character, and which might call for a severance of the con n. The motion was seconded by the Lord Mayor, and carried with acclamation. Several subscriptions to a considerable amount having been handed in,__ _ SIMMONDS'S COLONIAL MAGAZINE. The principal feature in the August number, as it has been during many foregoing numbers, is Mr. Leigh's tale of Australia. It is continued here with all its usual vivacity. "The South Australian Months," by Mr. Allen, is a very elegant and picturesque calendar in metre, which we would quote from the first line to the last did space permit. " Reminiscenses of the Island of Cuba" art interesting at any moment, but particularly so at the present time, when the sugar question has turned curiosity in the direction of that land of sugar cane and tobacco. An essay which prefaces the number, " On the Cultivation and Manufacture of Coffee," is crammed full of information, and would especially prove a source of entertainment to superior housewives. Ilooton's " Rides, Rambles, and Sketches in Texas," " The Native Indians in New Brunswick," and other appropriate contributions, make up a very readable miscellany. THE KNIGHT OF GIVYNIVE. No. VIII. By Charles 'Lever. As this tale proceeds it displays a progressive and very visible improvement. The author not only be comes more interested in the fate and vicissitudes of the characters he has conjured into existence, bat he im parts such an attractive aspect to those vicissitudes as to arouse a similar interest among his readers. This has always been a characteristic of the fictions of Mr. Lever ; his stories invari ably improve as the plots develope themselves. It was the case with "Harry Lorrequer" from the scene where he appears upon parade the morning after play inr. Othello, having forgotten to wash the cork •marks off his face, to the moment when he is hoisted ont of the box of a continental theatre, and crowned with a gar land of laurels, in mistake for, the real author of the drama, to ihe unspeakable mid screaming delight of the audience. It was the case in " Charles O'Malley," from his first interview with Mickey Free to the Battle of Waterloo. It was the case in "Jack Hinton," from his steeple chase on Modderidderoo to the very latest ap pearance of Cross Carny. It was the same, also, with " Tom Burke," " Arthur O'Leary," and "St. Fa trick's Eve." It is the same with the work before us as far as it has proceeded. The description of the emotions of anxiety in the knight's mind is cleverly done. Has the author been dipping into Godwin of late? The hunt also, where " Lionel is left aground," with a glorious little etching by Phiz, is described with the gusto of a man who thoroughly enjoys his own imaginings. Captain BRODERICK, in alluding to the election of Dun dalk, eulogised the conduct of the Repeal Club there, as it was, he said, to their exertions the success of the election was owing. He moved a vote of thanks to the Repeal Club and the Repealers of Dundalk for their support on the occasion in question.—Carried. Mr. J. A. O'Numr., (Bunowen-castle) was speaking against the proceedings of the Young Ireland party when post hour arrived. The week's rent will amount to about 4001. PRICE OF GOLD.—The premium on gold at Paris is 16 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10 1 ,1 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 55 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 75, it follows that gold is 0.78 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 436 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10%d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10%; and the exchange at llamburgh on London at short being 13 11 3 / 4 , it follows that gold is 0.57 per cent. dearer in London than in Hambargh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 107 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 2.33 per cent. against England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, tke interest must be deducted from the above difference. GENERAL HOLIDAY AT MANCHESTER.—Monday was observed at Manchester as a general holiday, in commemoration of the passing of the Act for the repeal of the corn -laws, and a more magnificent public procession in celebration of a great national event was never before witnessed in that town. Business was entirely suspended, not only the retail concerns, but the factories and ware houses remained closed during the whole of the day. Flags and banners bearing appropriate devices and mottoes were to be seen streets r en d ered i t very suspended from almost every ho use and public building, whilst the crowd of persons that thronged the p ublic difficult to force a passage at even a moderate pace. The procession of the corporations of Manchester and Salford, the late Anti-Corn law League, gentlemen of the boroughs, the fire-brigade, and the various trades and societies in the town, was formed at eleven o'clock at Larkhill, Salford, and dispersed, after having moved through many of the principal streets, in s t. Ann's-square, shortly after two o'clock; the weather during a greater part of the time being very unfavoura able. The great numbers and length of this procession may be principles. Amongst Amongst ferred ftom the fact, that nearly an hour - and-a-half bad e l apse d from the time of the first band entering Market-street, to that of the G o d bless Sir Robert Peel, the poor man's last vehicle arriving opposite to tho Exchange. The banners and flags carried by the different bodies were very numerous, and bore suitable iescriptions in favour of free-trade others were noticed—" Long life and happiness to our free-trade Queen Victoria ;" " friend,". &c. From the late League rooms a rich banner was sus pended, bearing the motto of " The League tri umphant, June 26, 1846." In the evening the ill umination of the v arious public build • ings, and many of the gre at factories and war ehouses, was on a very extensive scale ; Part i c ularly at the F ree Trade Hall, the Theatre Royal, Salford Town Hall, and th e warehouses of Mr. Potter, Mr. Cobden, and Mr. 31.A1i. A Public dinner was held at Salford Town Hall on Monday night, to celebrate this auspicious event. It was presided over by the Mayor, Mr. Kaye, and very numerously attended ; and furnished a very happy close to the in teresting proceedings of the day. TRAGIC EVENT.—Considerable sensation has been occasioned in Leeds by the deaths of Mr. Joseph II ebblethwalte, druggist and shopkeeper, residing i n Char les - street, Quarry-hill, in that town, and his wife, by poison , on Sat urday last.

TIIk -SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY - PV-E-NING, AUGUST 5, 1846.g:' ASSIZE IN TELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT, Guildford, Tuesday, Aug. 4. CIVIC SlDE.—(Before IVIr. Justice COLTMAN.) Mary Anne Austin, 22, was indicted for a misde meanor, in unlawfully concealing the birth of a child. It appeared that the prisoner was found by a constable sitting by the roadside at Wandsworth, crying, and in great distress, and he took her to the Wandsworth Union Workhouse, where, upon her being questioned, she admitted that she had been delivered of a child at Croydon, and that s!e had butied it to avoid discovery. The infant, it appeared, was still-born. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and she was sen tenced to twelve months' imprisonment. Elizabah Wiggins was charged upon the coroner's inquisition with the murder of her female illegitimate child, on the 12th July, at Lambeth. Mr. Locke defended the prisoner. From the evidence adduced, it appeared that the prisoner was in service in the establishment of a perosn named Bond, and about the period in question a suspicion was entertained that she was in the family way, and it would appear that she was eventually delivered of the child in question in the water-closet, but it was never seen alive, and the mother and the dead body of the infant were sent to Lambeth Workhouse, where the medical officer examined the latter, and from the appearances it exhi bited, he expressed an opinion that it had been born alive. The evidence, however, upon the point was vtry incon clusive. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of concealing the birth, and she was also sentenced to twelve months im prisonment. Solomon Nightingale was brought up to receive judg ment upon an indictment on which he had been com mitted on the previous day. The prisoner, who is an elderly man, held a farm at Crowley, and for some time he had been annoyed by several young men residing in the village, coming to his house and annoying him by making a noise and insult ing him in a variety of ways. He had repeatedly re quested them to desist, but it had no effect; and on the day in question it seemed that, having a gun in his hand, and being very much exasperated by the conduct of the parties, he discharged it at them, and slightly wounded a young man named Laneway, and one or two others. The jury found the prisoner guilty of a common as sault, and at the same time strongly recommended him to the merciful consideration of the Court, on account of the provocation he had received. Mr. Justice Covrmert, in passing sentence, said that there was no doubt the prisoner bad been a good deal provoked, but that did not justify him in using a deadly weapon in the manner he had done ; and, taking into consideration all the circumstances, he felt it his duty to pass upon him the sentence of four months' impri sonment. Mr. Justice Coltman got through the criminal cases about two o'clock, and he then commenced disposing of the civil business. The first cause taken in this Court was No. 60, and he will go on with the common jury cases in their order to the end of the list. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Hereford, Aug. 2. The commission for this county was yesterday opened by Lord Chief Justice Wilde. There are 23 prisoners for trial, of whom one is charged with cutting and maiming with intent to murder, one with assault and robbery, ten with burglary, five with house breaking, two with horse-stealing, and four with larceny. In the list there are sixteen causes, of which eight are special jury cases. This morning the Lord Chief Justice attended Divine service at All Saints' Church, the repairs of the cathedral not being yet completed. August 3. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice MAULE.) John Churchill, aged 28, was indicted for having, on the Bth of January last, cut and maimed Elizabeth Morris with intent to murder her. Mr. Skinner appeared for the prosecution; the prisoner was defended by Mr. Huddleston. From the evidence for the prosecution the following ap peared to be the facts :—The prosecutrix, the gatekeeper of a turnpike in the parish of St. Weonard's, lived in the toll house with her three children, the eldest of whom was a girl of 15. On the night of the 7th of January last, Mr. Wanklyn, a farmer in the neighbourhood, passed through the gate, and as she expected him to pass again through it on his way back, she did not go to bed, but waited for him. About nine shew threw herself on the bed where her children slept, leaving the candle lighted. She kept all the toll money, amounting to 31.45., in a tea-caddy, which she kept in her room. A little before ten she heard a noise outside the house, and some one cried out "Gate." Thinking that it was Mr. Wanklyn returning, she got up, and going to her door unbolted it, and saw a man there whom she knew to be the prisoner, having seen him several times before. She was just about to speak to him when he struck her a blow on the head ; she endeavoured to force the door to against him, but he struck her again. She begged of him to let her say, " Lord, save me," but he said nothing. The prisoner, as she alleged, then dragged her to a heap of coal ashes, where she fell down insensible. On recovering, she went to the house of Mrs. Williams, where, however, she did not get in, and returned to her own house, when she saw her children, very much alarmed, stand ind in the road without any clothes on. She then went to the house of Richard Morgan, whom she roused, and by whom, together with his sons, she was assisted to get home and to bed. There was some discrepancy as to what passed on the way to her house, and while there. The prosecutrix most positively denied ever having said that she did not know who it was that had struck her, which was corroborated by Morgan, the father, and one of his sons, Charles ; while his other son, Joseph, also present, said, that on the road he asked her whether she knew who had struck her, when she said she did not, and that she made a similar answer when he put the same question to her in the house. She was put to bed, and soon after Mr. Wanklyn came by and saw her : he described the wounds, which he dressed, as of a very serious character indeed in his judgment The next morning the prisoner was brought before the prosecutrix, when she told him, after looking a short time at him, what be had done. He said he had not done it. She, noticing that he had a white hat, said, " You had not that same hat on last night ;" and he said, " No, I had not." She at this time considered herself dying, for she said to the prisoner, "As I hope to be saved, and I know I shall die before night, you are the person as struck me the blows on the head," to which he answered " I am innocent, Missus ; but if you say lam guilty, I must suffer." She then said, " But you had not that hat on." To which he replied, " No, I had my black hat on." At this time there were in the room several persons, and among them Captain Farmar, the magistrate, and a woman, named Susannah Jeffries. This woman stated that on the night of the assault she had heard the prosecutrix repeatedly say that she would not swear " punctually" to the prisoner; that when she opened the door a man had struck her, and that she was sure there were two men. _ _ _ _ _ Mrs. Jeffries said, that on the morning of the Bth,. while Mr. Wanklyn and Captain Farmar were in the room, who could both hear what passed, the prosecutrix had said (in answer to Captain Farmar) that she had one or two sights at the man who struck her, but she would not " punctually" swear to the prisoner. Elizabeth Morris, the daughter of the prosecutrix, said, that she woke on the night of the 7th, and saw a man in the bedroom, who had a candle in his hand. He was opening the money-box. She could not see his face. There was some money in silver and copper on the mantel-piece and window in the next room, which the prisoner entered, and while he was there the girl heard some copper fall. Tue next day the money was gone. Soon after search was made, and under a holly-bush the tea or money-box of the prosecutrix was found, and a track of footsteps, the marks of which exactly corresponded with those made by the prisoner's shoes, was discovered, beginning at the back of the turnpike-house, and going directly to the bush. For the prisoner witnesses were called, some of whose evidence has been noticed above, to establish a case, first in the nature of an a'ibi, by showing that the prisoner had been at different houses in the neighbourhood, and at 10 by the clock in his brother's house, where he lived, he had returned there, and given to his brother-in-law, who also re turned there, his portion of some money he had received from Thomas Morgan that night. It was stated positively by his brother-in-law and his brother that he was quite calm when he returned, and that he went to bed soon after 10 by their clock, which was halt an hour fast. The prisoner's brother• in-law spoke to some facts respect no. his knowledge of where the prisoner was on the night of the' 7th, and also about one of the Morgans coming to look after his brother Joseph at their house; but the constables positively negatived the first portion of his evidence, and the latter was not very material. Witnesses to the character of the prisoner were called, but kaane appeared. Mr. Wanklyn, however, stated that he had known the prisoner for seven years, and had never heard anything against him before. Mr. Ilubm,EsTox replied on the evidence adduced to con tradict the prisoner's witnesses. Mr. SKINNER replied generally, after which His LOIGDSAIIP summed up, and the jury, after deliberating for half an hour, found the prisoner Guilty of cutting and wounding with intent to do some grievous bodily harm. The Learned JUDGE sectenced the prisoner to transporta tion for 15 years. It was contended that the defendant had acted maliciously in the transaction, in revenge for some offence which had been offered him by the plaintiff in a former dispute respect ing a sheep, which it was said had wandered from the plain tiff's to the defendant's land, and which the dekndant had been obliged to restore. It did not appear, however, that he had made any difficulty about returning it, when satisfied that it was the property of the present plaintiff. Evidence was adduced to show that the sheep found at the plaintiff's was his own and not the sheep of defendant. On the other side it appeared from the evidence of John Wanliss, that he, and the defendant, his brother, had a farm at Barrard, not far from that occupied by the plaintiff. The farms were it appeared quite open, without any fence to prevent the sheep straying into those adjoining, and the animals of each owner were distinguished by a peculiar mark, usually on the ear. After the clipping in July, and the salving in November " gatherings" of the farmers were held for the purpose of restoring any stray sheep which might be found among the flocks, and sometimes a large nuteber of sheep, which had got into many hands, would be found at one of these gatherings. The witness Wanliss stated that the defendant had lost four gimmer sheep; and he deposed that of these the sheep now in question was one. It appeared from the testimony of other witnesses, that the defendant had received positive information of the sheep being at the plaintiff's before he went there to seek it. It was sought, too, to discredit the evidence of Thomas Brown, the plaintiff's brother, in which he professed to identify the sheep as that of the plaintiff's, by showing that he had at one time stated he had never seen it until the end of July, and that if it were his brother's, it would eat turnips, a thing which sheep will not usually do without training, whereas others of the plaintiff's witnesses said it had been of the plaintiff's breeding, and on trving the sheep with turnips it was only after a period of two days that it could be induced to eat them. _ _ It was sought to show, also, that the marks of the sheep in question had been tampered with. The plaintiff's marks were a notch out of the right ear, and a slice off the margin of the other. The defendant's sheep had two small notches close to one another on the left ear, at the same place as the plaintiff's mark. The sheep in question had a notch out of the right ear, but this seemed to have been lately done, and on the left ear it was, it was alleged, apparent the mark had been altered, inasmuch as the edge of the cut had no hair on it, except at one extremity, which it was supposed had formed the side of one of the old notches, which had been cut away in taking off the slice which constituted the peculiar mark of the sheep belonging to the plaintiff. His Lonnsiiir, in summing up, left it to the jury to say whether the act of the defendant was malicious. They would say, if they thought the defendant had lost the four sheep, whether he had not grounds for suspecting they had been stolen? and, secondly, if the defendant had been in formed of one of his sheep being on the plaintiffs premises, and believed it from the description to be his, whether he did not suspect that the mark had been fraudulently altered, and that the other sheep were secreted on the premises? The jury, after being in consultation for an hour-and-a half, stated that they were of opinion the defendant had not acted maliciously. A verdict was accordingly entered for the defendant. DOXFORD AND ANOTHER V. KING. This was an action to recover the amount of an insurance effected on the schooner Helen, which was, with her cargo of coals, lost at Bridlington in the month of April last. Mr, Watson and Mr. H. Hill were for the plaintiffs; Mr. Martin and Mr. Atherton for the defendant. At the Durham assizes, just concluded, the captain and crew of the Helen had been tried on a charge of feloniously casting the vessel away, but were all acquitted. The plaintiffs had, it appeared, in the month of October last, effected an insurance on the ship for 12 months, for 600/. They afterwards disposed of her to a Mr. Hutchin son, by whom she was, in April last, sent on a voyage to Swinemunde in the Baltic. She had proceeded some way on her voyage, but, meeting with a head wind and severe weather, she was found to have sprung a leak; and the water increasing at the rate of more than three feet an hour, the captain put about and ran for the Humber. Late on the evening of the 26th of April she was seen passing Flamborough-head, and ran some distance into Bridlington Bay, in which a number of vessels were then lying, and there, at a distance of two or three miles from the shore, she, early the following morning, went down at her anchors. She had been insured for 600/. ; but, it was admitted, worth a considerably larger sum. The loss, in the present declara tion, was alleged to have occurred by the perils of the seas. A number of witnesses were called to show that the vessel was seaworthy when she sailed on the voyage in question. She was an American built ship, built three or four years before, and had undergone extensive repairs shortly before on the slip at Sunderland. The captain was examined, and gave an account of the voyage, from which it would appear that the severe weather and heavy sea had caused her to spring the leak which caused her loss. He had put back to• wards the Humber, because with that wind and the shipin that condition the more northern ports would not have been safe to enter. For the defence it was contended that the ship was unsea worthy, and for this purpose a number of witnesses were called who had examined her after she was got ashore, and who stated that all her upper timbers and planking were very much decayed. The vessel, it appeared, after going down had with the force of the sea beaten against the bottom until her timbers gave way, and the coals coming out, she partially floated, and her masts being cut away she was towed ashore. It was then found that some holes had been bored through her bottom, from a place adjoining the cabin called the lazarette, a hole having been cut in the ceiling so as to enable an auger to reach the outer planking. An auger and chisel were found among the coals. It was on these facts contended that the loss took place by barratry. Mr. WArsox in reply contended that the vessel was sea worthy on the evidence, not of those who had seen her when broken up by the sea, but those who had repaired her before she sailed on the voyage, and that in all probability the holes in question had been bored by some one during the six days the vessel was lying in the beach for the purpose of letting out the water. iCo motive for such an act could be suggested on the part of the captain or crew. The jury found that the vessel was seaworthy, and that she was lost by perils of the sea.—Verdict for the plaintiff. The case of "Ford v. the Marquis of Waterford" is not yet concluded. NORTH WALES ClRCUlT.—Chester, Aug. 3. The business of these assizes commenced this day before Lord Chief Justice Denman and Mr. Baron Rolfe. The calendar contains 31 prisoners, of whom two are charged with arson, 1 burglary, 4 cutting and maiming, 1 forgery, 2 horse -stealing, 4 manslaughter, 2 murder, 5 with rape, 3 receiving stolen goods, 4 with stealing from the per son, 2 unnatural crime, and 1 with a minor offence. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) . His Loansfur took his seat in this Court this morning at _0 o'clock, when the grand jury (of whom Sir R. Brooke, of Norton Priory, was foreman), having been sworn, the charge was delivered. The Learned Judge referred generaly to the various cases in the calendar, and explained the law relating to them, but particularly to one from Runcorn, where a man and his wife are charged with the wilful mur der of two of their own offspring, by the administration of arsenic, for the purpose'of obtaining money from a funeral club to which the children belonged, and also with attempt ing to poison a third. These shocking offences, it was alleged had been committed by the parents for the purpose of get ting a small sum of money from the burial clubs to which the children belonged ; and the motive of the crime appeared to be such a totally inadequate one, that it almost appeared to be impossible that it could have prompted such an offence. Experience, however, had unfortunately proved that in some cases which had occurred, even in this part of the country, that motive had operated bat too powerfully, and what had happened might no doubt happen again. Great as this charge was, he did not know that it would present any diffi culty in its investigation. They would have to consider, in the first instance, whether the children had met with their deaths by poison ; and then, whether that poison had been taken accidentally, or administered by the persons who were charged with giving it designedly. On the first ques tion they would depend upon the confidence they reposed in the medical and scientific inquiries which had been instituted; and if satisfied that the deaths had occurred from poison, they would further have to inquire how far _ the accused were implicated in its administration. The Court was then detained for upwards of an hour, wait ing for bills. A bill was at length returned against Thomas Bell, for a felonious assault on a child of tender years. The prisoner, who was out on bail, was called on his recogni zances ; but not answering, his own and sureties' bail was ordered to be estreated. ARSON.— William Hewett, twenty-seven, pleaded" Guilty" to an indictment charging him with setting fire to a stack of hay at Brinnington, the property of John Millward, and was sentenced to fifteen years' transportation. MORSE STEALING.—Joseph Nuttall, twenty-one, pleaded " Guilty" to an indictment charging him with stealing a mare, at Macclesfield, the property of James Pedley.—Sen tence deferred. MANSLAUGHTER BY A 130 y.—An innocent-looking boy, named John Jackson, aged thirteen, was indicted for killing and slaying a girl named Mary Ridgway, at Chorley, in this county, on the 7th of April last. It appeared from the evidence adduced, that the prisoner had induced a neighbour to lend him a gun loaded with dust shot, for the'purpose of killing sparrows ; that he bad gone out with it to a yard where the deceased was engaged washing the face of her brother, when he threatened to shoot her, and actually pointed the gun, and fired it off within a few yards of her. The whole contents lodged in her face, and produced almost instantaneous death. He was found Guilty, and The Learned JUDGE, after reprehending the party who had lent the gun, sentenced the prisoner to four days' im prisonment. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Lord Chief Justice DENMAN.) The cause list contains only nine cases, two of which are special juries, and possess some interest. The whole of the common jury cases, which were of no public interest, were disposed of to-day. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, These sessions commenced on Tuesday before Mr. Sergeant Adams, the Assistant Judge, and the usual bench of magis trates. The calender is a very heavy one for these sessions, containing the names of no less than 126 prisoners, of which number 102 are charged with felony, and the remainder with assaults, misdeameanours, &c. The grand jury having been sworn, the Learned Judge delivered his charge to them, but there was nothing in it that called for a report. Edward Betteson, aged 16, and John Robert Durnford, aged 15, were convicted on the clearest evidence of stealing a wooden box value one shilling, the property of Thomas Maltwood. Each of these juvenile offenders protested his own innocence and endeavoured to prejudice the case of his companion by telling the Court that he had been "in trouble" five or six times before. The latter part of their respective stories turned out to be true as regarded both of them; but while the first was telling his tale, the other coolly advised him to take care what he was about; and as that did not stop his mouth, when it came to his turn to ad dress the Court, he acknowledged the compliment that had been paid him by stating all he knew of his companion. They were both sentenced to six months' imprisonment in the House of Correction. The other cases tried during the day were of no public in , terest. THE NASSAU BALLOON.—The Nassau balloon, which ascended from Crcmorne-gardens on Monday evening, in the presence of several thousand spectators, after passing over the metropolis, made its way towards Essex, and came down without accident on the farm of James Charton, at Higham-hill, near Walthamstow, at half. past eight o'clock. The aeronauts, Mr. Charles Green, Mr. Burton, Mr. E. Landells, the well-known engraver on wood, Mr. Van Buren, Mr. Williams, Mr. Spencer, and live other gentlemen, were treated with great hospitality by Mr. Charton, and having procured post-horses, returned to Cremorne-gardens shortly after eleven o'clock, where they were received with the congratulations of a large number of persons who had awaited their return from their aerial trip. The lioness at the Surrey Zoological Gardens, which whelped one cub during the storm of Saturday, is doing well. The cub is a very fine one, and appears healthy. The lioness having as yet no milk, the cub has been fed by means of a " baby's bottle," and a Newfoundland bitch is appointed as wet-nurse. THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, AUG. 4.—The Gibraltar mail-packet Pacha, Captain Burney, arrived here at five o'clock P.n. this day, and landed the Peninsular and other mails, which will be forwarded to London by one o'clock A.M. to-morrow train. Her dates are—Gibraltar, July 26; Cadiz, July 27 ; Lisbon, July 30; Oporto, July 31 ; Vigo and Corunna, Aug. 1 ; she has a toll cargo and Oc , panoply, PHYSICAL PERSUS MORAL FORCE, This morning the board-room of CollegeLstreet Police office was crammed to excess by the friends and admirers of Old and Young Irelmnd, who were anxious to hear a charge of assault, preferred by Captain Broderick against Mr. Meagher. Mr. Tyndall presided: Mr. Curran appeared as counsel for Mr. Meagher ; and Mr. Cantwell, solicitor, for Captain • Broderick. - Captain Broderick sworn—On Saturday last Major Talbot called upon him. He said he called about a report of some thing he (witness) had said at Conciliation Hall, on Tues day, and which appeared in Saunders' News-Letter. He at once acknowledged the substance of the words were correct. Upon the 13th July lie said he would not take notice of any thing Mr. Meagher would say to him. When Major Talbot called upon him on Saturday last, he referred him to his ob servations of the 13th July, with a view to show the course he should take. The witness then alluded to the uproarious scene in the Repeal Association on the 13th, when Mr. Meagher cast a gross aspersion upon Mr. Clements. On that occasion he did say the conduct of Mr. Meagher was " infa mous." Some one else did speak harshly to Mr. Meagher, but he (witness) declared that he claimed the honour of first insulting Mr. Meagher. According to the laws of honour, he (witness) considered himself released from any liability to Mr. Meagher; that, in short, he would give him no expla. nation or satisfaction. He had come to this conclusion after consulting with his friend. On Saturday evening last he (witness) was walking down Westmoreland•street, in company with a friend, and as he turned the corner of Lundy Foot's he saw Mr. Meagher and Mr. Smith. Suddenly Mr. Meagher rushed towards him, and raised a stick, threatening to strike him, when he seized it, and friends closing on them no blow was struck. He then gave him in charge of the police. Cross-examined—l swore an information against Mr. Meagher lately. The first dispute -between Mr. Meagher and me occurred on the 13th of July. On that day he fully retracted his charge against Mr. Clements. It was a suffi cient retractation. I was very much excited at the time I ap plied the term "infamous" to him. You think gentlemen should be bound by the code of honour?—Certainly. On the following morning did Mr. Meagher address him self to you when he said he did not mean anything personal? —I - thought so. Mr. Meagher praised Mr. Holmes. Some body exclaimed, he voted against Mr. O'Connell, and I said, " Oh," and further added, "I would not take notice of any ... thing that fell from Mr. Meagher." Cress-examined by Mr. CURRAN—He admitted that on the 13th of July, he designated the conduct of Mr. Meagher as " infamous,' but that as he did not take notice of that, as he (Captain Broderick) intended he should, and in a fort night after he stated that " he would not mind anything that fell from Mr. Meagher," the meaning of which was that he had passed over the first offence. Mr. TYNDALL suggested that the parties should amicably arrange their differences elsewhere. Mr. CURaAN mentioned that Mr. Meagher was bound over yesterday in the sum of 5001. to keep the peace to Captain Broderick and all her. Majesty's subjects. Mr. TYNDALL said there was a summons issued against Captain Broderick, on a charge of intending a breach of the peace, and that all the objects of the parties might be at tained by also calling upon him to give bail in an equal amount. This suggestion was adopted, and the parties left the office. THUNDER-STORM. Between one and two o'clock this morning we were visited by one of the most violent storms of thunder and lightning that has taken place for many years in this country. It lasted, at intervals, for nearly two hours, and was followed' by a perfect deluge of rain. At one period the whole atmosphere was illuminated by a vivid flash of lightning, which was rapidly succeeded by several others of less brilliancy. The storm, which came from the east, subsided about half-past three o'clock. The preceding day and evening had been ex cessively sultry. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. MoNDAy, AuG. 3.—The . usual weekly meeting of the Repeal Association was held to-day at one o'clock, — and was crowded to suffocation for some hours previously, it having been known that Mr. O'Connell had arrived on the previous evening from London, and would be present. At the ap pointed time, the Hon. Gentleman, accompanied by Mr. John O'Connell, M.P. ; Mr. Daniel O'Connell, jun., M.P.; Mr. N. Maher, M.P. ; Mr. Smethwicke, M.P. ; te Lord Mayor, Mr. T. Steele, Captain Broderick, and several others of the Old Ireland, or moral force party, entered the hall, and were loudly cheered. The members of the Young Ireland party did not attend. Upon the motion of Mr. O'CONNELL, seconded by the LORD MAYOR, the chair was filled by Mr. Daniel O'Connell, jun., M.P. - _ - The CHAIRMAN, upon taking his seat, said it was always most gratifying to him to be called on to preside over a meeting like the one he was then about presiding over; but on no former occasion had he felt so highly honoured, for it was not merely a compliment to him, but a com pliment to the honest electors of Dundalk.—(Cheers.) They deserved any compliment which could be paid them ; in fact, no praise could exceed their merits, for they had by their admirable organisation scared away even the shadow of opposition to his or any Repealers' election.— (Hear, hear.) No doubt they might have made a better se lection.—(Cries of "No, no.") They had, however, made a selection of him because he was a Repealer and the son of O'Connell.—(Great applause.) They were to a man almost Repealers, and understood the great basis upon which the association was founded—the principle of moral force alone. —( Hear, hear.) Nothing could be more peaceable or orderly than the manner in which the men of the north conducted themselves at the election; so peaceable were they, that he saw but three policemen amongst several thousand people; that, however, was not at all extraordinary ; for they had the men of God—the Roman Catholic clergy to rule and pre side over them, and teach them to work out repeal upon moral and peaceable principles.—(li ear, hear.) The feeling in favour of moral force was not, he was happy to be enabled to say, confined to Dundalk alone; but exhibited itself all along his route to Drogheda, where he was loudly cheered with the cry of "Old Ireland and Repeal."—(Cheers.) The Learned Gentleman concluded by handing in some money from both Drogheda and Dundalk. Mr. RAY then read the minutes of the last meeting; after which, Mr. O'CONNELL rose to hand in 741., with the following letter, from the Roman Catholic Bishop of Ardagh : " Bally mahon, July 31. " Dear Liberator,—l have been requested by the priests whose names are annexed to forward to the Loyal Repeal Association, as their subscription for 1846, the inclosed sum of 74/., including 21. from myself. Others of our clergy had already sent up their subscriptions, in conjunction with those of their flocks, making a total of about 90/. for the present year from the bishop and priests of Ardagh. " I need not, I trust, assure you, that the reverend gentle men who have contributed this sum are more than ever de termined to stand by you through every vicissitude, in your moral and peaceable endeavours for the regeneration of our beloved but ill-governed country; and I am happy to add, that in this determination they are most cordially Joined by the liberal and good men in their respective parishes. We have no physical force men in this diocese. Neither have we, thank God, any schoolboy philosophers, false and san guinary Repealers, or Voltairmn nevispapers. All our exer tions for the restoration of Ireland's independence are based on the sacred and immutable principles of true Christian morality, and we pity the folly and abhor the wickedness of any man who would rest his patriotism upon other grounds. " Excessive vanity and quixotic conceit may blind some men so far as to make them believe that they are almost your equals in the service of your country, and urge them perhaps, under this pitiable delusion, to set themselves up as your rivals in leading the Irish to nationality; but they ought to know that the clergy and faithful people of Irelard will have no other leader than their revered Liberator, and I feel thoroughly convinced, if it were the will of Providence to warp you to-morrow of your near dissolution, the Irish nation would unanimously adopt, as their political guide, that man alone whom you would bequeath to them as worthy of their confidence. " We have witnessed with sorrow the disgraceful scenes that have lately taken place in Conciliation Hall, and have felt the deepest indignation and disgust at the shallow so phistry and flippant impertinence exhibited by the few young men who so childishly style themselves Young Ireland. Do these persons already forget that all their im portance, if any they possess, is owing to your superhuman and unbounded influence? Or do they imagine the whole country will ever start up at their wild bidding; throw moral force and O'Connell to the winds; trample upon God's holy commandments; violate their sworn allegiance to their Gracious Sovereign ; and, under the magic spell of puritanical rank and Jacobin impiety, sally forth from their peaceable firesides to be butchered in an unequal and fruitless contest? Assuredly, if such be the expectations of the Young Ireland part y , they must look on their fellow-countrymen as the ve riest idiots upon the face of the earth, whilst, at the same time, they draw down upon themselves the scorn and laughter of every true Repealer in Ireland. I cannot close thiahasty letter without saying a word or two about the Nation newspaper. It is in my mind the most dangerous publication that ever appeared in Ireland. I will say nothing of its ungrateful and mean endeavours to ma lign yoa by unfounded insinuations, distorted inferences from your speeches, &c., and thus lessen your well-earned sway over your countrymen. Nor shall I notice its mad harangues on the subject of revolution. All these topics I leave to be dealt with by your own master mind, but on the score of re ligion I must say that the Nation appears to me, to my clergy, and to our flocks, to tend directly to the overthrow of Catholic faith and morals. Every one must admit that it is edited with a considerable portion of talent—that its rounded sentences and energetic style are well calculated to make fatal impressions on youthful and unreasoning minds; but it feels the embarrassment that was felt by Voltaire, Diderot, D'Alembert, &c.—namely, it can advance no argument against our holy religion. Hence, like Voltaire also, it deals in ridicule, inuendoes, and fashionable sneers. It is true it has the bad manliness to give its feeble support to the In fidel Colleges,' in direct opposition to the decision of the overwhelming majority of the Irish bishops and universal priesthood. It also speaks out when it blames you for lugging in religion' into Irish politics; still its danger does not consist in openly dogmatising against the truth, but in disseminating its latitudinarianism by ridicule and inuendoes among the unwary Catholic youths of Ireland. We have ignominiously expelled it from almost all our literary institu tions in Ardagh; and it is to be hoped that whatever unsus pecting Catholics who still receive it will soon sever the bad connexion. It was time that some one should have brought this subject before the religious consideration of the pubtic, and humble as I rank in the Irish hierarchy, Iventure to im plore the Catholic priests and the Catholic laity of Ireland, to turn their serious and vigilant attention to the doctrines and tendencies of the Nation newspaper. "Wishing you every sort of success in your moral and noble career, and perpetual disappointment to your avowed or hid den enemies, "I remain, dear Liberator, " With unalterable and affectionate attachment, yours, "D. O'Connell, Esq., M.P. t W. O'HIdGIN." Mr. O'CONNELL moved, and Mr. MAIIER, M.P., seconded a motion, " That the above letter be inserted on the minutes." • Carried unanimously. Mr. O'Connell next handed in 901., the subscription of 90 Roman Catholic clergymen, with a letter from the Roman Catholic Bishop of Meath. This letter was also inserted on the minutes. Mr. 141AttEit, 11i.1".,reacl a letter from the Dean of Killaloe, inclosing his subscription to the repeal fund, which also was inserted in the minutes of the association. _ _ Mr. O'CoNNamitWenroSetoaddress the association amid loud cheers. He -aid he deemed it his duty to address the association at the earliest possible moment. His mind was indeed so pressed by the magnitude of the crisis to which they had arrived, and the vital importance of the rights and liberties of Ireland which were involved in the discussion, that he could no longer remain silent.—(Cheers.) It was TURLOGH O'BRIEN. No. V. having carefully felt his way and become conscious of the strength of his materials, the author of " Turlogh O'Brien" is beginning to evince a greater adroitness in the adjustment of his story. Fresh incidents crowd in, a new character is introduced, and a wider field given for the unravelling of the plot—the scene being now re moved from Glindarragh Castle to the City of Dublin. The account of the entrance of James 11. into the Irish capital is picturesque and bold—the delineation of the monarch himself characteristic. There is an originality about the manner of this fiction which captivates. WANDERINGS OF A PEN AND PENCIL. Parts VII. and VIII. With these parts the Wanderings of Messrs. Crow quill and Palmer are brought to a conclusion. We almost feel inclined to regret the completion of their labours—they were so emphatically " labours of love." A singular fund of curious tradition and anecdote may be gleaned from their pages—traditions and anecdotes both pictorial and literary. Under the symbol of the scallop shell we have had the peregrinations of" Childe Harold:" under the same symbol we have had these wanderings. We are thankful. OPENING OF THE NOTTINGHAM AND LINCOLN RAILWAY. LEccorar, MONDAY.—The opening of the line between Nottingham and Lincoln took place this day. A special train, with two powerful new engines and twenty carriages, left Derby at half-past eight o'clock tbis morning, and arrived at Nottingham shortly before nine o'clock. Among the company we noticed George Hudson, Esq., M.P., the chairman of the company; John Ellis, Esq., the deputy chairman; Sir Henry Wilmot, Bart. ; the Mayor of Derby; Nelson, Esq., the late chairman ; J. J. Bell, Esq., the secretary; and a number of the directors, accompanied by several of their friends, and a party of elegantly-dressed ladies. A large concourse of spectators had assembled at the station at Nottingham, and on the appearance of the train, gaily decorated with flags, it was received with loud cheer ing by the company, the band of the 4th Dragoon Guards, stationed at Nottingham, striking up " See the Conquering Hero comes." The train took an additional number of company in at Nottingham, among whom were the Mayor of Nottingham and several of the members of the corporation, with their ladies. The meadows adjoining the station and the bridges, where an uninterrupted view of the line was obtained, were lined with an immense crowd of spectators. The band of the 4th Dragoon Guards were stationed on the platform, and played a number of enlivening airs. A few minutes before half-past nine o'clock the gates of the Lincoln line were thrown open, and the signal being given for the company to take their seats, the train was again put in motion, the en gines being driven by Mr. Swanwick, the resident engineer to the company, and Mr. Kirkby. After passing several of the villages along the line, where large numbers of people had assembled to obtain a view of the monster train, it reached Newark about half-past ten o'clock, and stopped for a few minutes. The weather, which had been hitherto unfavour able and exceedingly wet, now changed for the worse, and the rain came down in torrents, much to the disappointment of nearly the whole of the population of Newark and the neighbourhood, who had turned out on the occasion of the opening. After a few minutes delay the train was again put in motion, and arrived at Lincoln at a quarter before eleven o'clock. The distance from Nottingham to Lincoln is 33 miles. On the arrival of the train at Lincoln, notwithstand ing that the rain was literally pouring in torrents, a large number of the lieges of Lincoln had assembled at the station to greet its arrival. On Mr. Hudson and the directors alighting from the car riage they were greeted with immense cheering. The ar rangements were so made that the company, previous to their return to Nottingham and Derby, should have an op portunity of viewing the fine, venerable minster ; but owing to the unfavourable state of the weather this was found to be impracticable. The band was stationed on the platform, and played several airs during the time the train remained. An additional number of carriages were now attached to the train, for the accommodation of the authorities, who bad been invited to accompany the directors back to Nottingham. Owing to the large number of persons who had joined the procession, it was found requisite to have two trains on the return journey to Nottingham. Shortly after twelve o'clock the signal was given, and the train again started on its re turn to Nottingham, where it arrived at half-past one o'clock, when the company sat down to an excellent cord collation provided for the occasion. At two o'clock the train again set out for Lincoln, where a most magnificent dinner took place in honour of the occasion. The dinner took place at five o'clock. General Pasley had inspected the line on Friday afternoon, and expressed himself highly satisfied with the works.

A9bert Soy* WESTERN CIRCUIT.—Bodmin, Aug. 3. The commission for holding the assizes for the county of Cornwall was opened here on Saturday night, about 11 o'clock, by Mr. Justice Erle, who had been detained at Exeter. The business is heavy for this county, there being 16 causes for trial, and 23 prisoners in the calendar. It is hardly possible to conceive a reason for so short a time having been allowed for the assizes in this county; the usual time was a week; but now the commission day was last Saturday, and the assizes for Somerset commence on Thursday at Wells, a long distance off, and very difficult to be got at ; business must, therefore, of necessity, be much hurried. A learned Judge now on the bench has been heard to say that in his opinion there was little justice done by candle light. The minds of jurymen cannot be kept alive to the true facts of a case for so many hours. Surely nine hours a day are sufficient for a jury to be penned up in an incon venient box ; there is quite enough difficulty for them to overcome in endeavouring to ascertain the truth of a com plicated case, made still more so by what is termed the in genuity ofcounsel, without having fatigue and inconvenience added to it. Yesterday the Learned Judges (Mr. Baron Platt having arrived at an early hour in the morning) attended Divine service, and this morning their Lordships commenced the business of the assizes.

In this action, which was partly tried on Saturday, the plaintiff sought compensation in damages for a malicious pro secution by the defendant, who had procured him to be taken before a magistrate on a charge of sheep•stealing. Mr. Watson, Mr. Ingham, and the Hon. Mr. Liddell, were for the plaintiff; Mr. Martin and Mr. H. Hill, for the de fendant. It appeared that the plaintiff occupies, with his father and brothers, a farm at Elsdon, in this county, which they hold of ➢lr. Selby. He is a sheep farmer. The defendant is also a sheep farmer at Biddleston, about ten miles from the plain tiff's farm, acid it appeared that in the month of December last the defendant, alleging that he had lost four gimmer sheep, cline with his brother to the plaintiff's farm, and said he had information that one of the sheep was there. He went over the premises, and some time after returned with a constable, and under a magistrate's warrant took the plaintiff and his brother Thomas into custody, and seized a gimmer sheep, which, he said, was one of those he had lost. The prisoners were removed to Alnwick, a distance of fifteen miles, and the complaint was heard the next day before the Rep. 491;14 Ciodeaougla and dim:aimed. r _ ...,.. TRANSFER OF LICEINSES.

PADDINGTON. —R unning Horse, Harrow-road, John White,. to William Carruthers and H. M. Kemshead. A gentleman made application for the transfer of the li cense of a house, the goodwill of which he had purchased for 800/. Ile stated that he had ,paid the consideration money, but the vendor had not attended to make the transfer. The Magistrates said they had no power to assist him,and advised that parties should not pay away their money with out first' having the license properly transferred. In a charge against a licensed victualler, for having on his premises measures holding less than the proper quan tity, the defence was, that the pots got so badly used out of the house, that it was impossible to keep them of proper capacity; and Mr. Duncombe maintained that to justify the Bench in inflicting a penalty, it must be shown that the measures had been actually in use, as the words in the 21st section of the Act were, "Every person who shall use any weight or iveasure," &c., and that simple possession would merely subject!. the person to the loss of the article. The Magistrates, hoc Fever, considered that under the 28th section, it was not necessN'y that use should be proved, and fined the defendant 30s. VERDICT OF THE INQUEST AT - - HOUNSLOW. We have received from the Coroner's office the following copy of the verdict at Hounslow, it being an authorised transcript, with the intimation that " the Jury at the inquest are very anxious it should be reprinted." We readily com ply with the request (though we see no mAterial alteration of our report) because the verdict cannot be to often read by the public : "That the deceased soldier, Frederick John White, died on the 11th of July, 1846, from the mortal effects of a se vere and cruel frogging of 150 lashes, which he received on the 15th of June, 1E146, at the Cavalry Barrack s on Hounslow Heath, at H eston ; that the said flogging MO inflicted upon his back and neck under the sen tence of a District Court-martial, composed of officers of the 7th Regiment of Huss.: , rs, held on the 10th of June previous, duly constituted for !As trial. That the said Court-martial was authorised by law to pass ,`be said severe and cruel sentence; that the flogging was if, flitted upon him by two farriers, in the presence of John Jam s ... 3 Whyte, the Lieutenant-Colonel, and James Low Warren, the sur geon of the said regiment ; and that so, and by me.ws of the said flogging, the death of the said Frederick john White was caused. " In returning this verdict, the jury cannot refrain from ex.-- pressinc , their horror and disgust at the existence of any law' amongst b the statutes or regulations of this realm, which permits the revolting punishment of flogging to be inflicted. upon British soldiers ; and at the same time the jury implore every man in the kingdom to join, band and heart, in for warding petitions to the Legislature, praying, in the most urgent terms for the abolition of every law, order, and re gulation, which permits the disgraceful practice of flogging to remain one moment longer a slur upon the humanity and fair name of the people of this country." WORLD'S TEMPERANCE CON- VENTION. At the instance of the National Temperance Society, about 250 delegates from different parts of Great.. l3 ritain and America assembled to-day in the City of Lo.. l clen Literary Institution, Aldersgate-street, for the purpt 'e of ascertaining the state of the temperance cause in aLI.I parts of the globe, to receive suggestions as to the most: effectual method of extending the temperance reform.- tion, and to effect the formation of a Temperance Uaion' throughout the world. The sitting in the morning was occupied with the preliminary arrangements for the regulation of the proceedings. Several interesting state ments were also made respecting the progress of the movement in America, Edinburgh, and other places. The afternoon sitting was taken up with the reading of a paper by a gentleman from America, in which a variety of facts were enumerated against the usage of spirituous liquors. A long and somewhat disorderly discussion ensued, after which the meeting adjourned. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS. 'From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Commons.) TUESDAY, AUG 4. STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEE. The following resolution was reported from the above Wm mittee : • That, in the case of the Cork and Waterford Railway Bill; the standing orders ought to be dispensed with : —That the parties be: permitted to proceed with their Bill, on amending the section by re-• ferriag the datum horizontal line to the soffite of the keystone of the' centre arch of Patrick's Bridge, and on obtaining the consent of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to their crossing the Glanmiro Channel ; and that the Committee on the Bill do examine, in the first place, how far such order has been complied with, and do report the same to the Heuse on the report of the Bill." Resolution agreed to. DUBLIN AND SANDYMOUNT RAILWAY BILL. Sir George Clerk reported from the Select Committee on Group 70 of Railway Bills, to whom several petitions against the Bills coin prised in the said group were referred, that, in the case of the Dublin and Sandymount Railway Bill, they had heard counsel in support of the petition, and had also heard counsel in favour of the Bill, and had examined the allegations contained in the preambel of the BM. but the same had not been proved to their eatisfixtion.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT WATERLOO-BRlDGE.—Yester day an inquest was held before Mr. "Higgs, Coroner for the Duchy of Lancaster, at the Savoy Palace, Savoy-street, Strand, on the body of Charles Lanton, aged 12 years. On Friday evening last, the do ceased and some other boys were bathing in the river, at the bottom of the steps, on the western side of Waterloo-bridge ; the deceased was very headstrong, and fancied he could swim, but he had not proceeded many yards when he was knocked backwards by the swell of a passing steamer, and he sank immediately. Fleming, a witifor man at the adjoining stairs, hearing the alarm, ran to the spot, and by means of a hitcher, recovered the body in a few minutes. It was removed to No. 1, Lancaster-place, where every means- wag adopted by a surgeon to restore life, but ineftectuany, lift being g extinct.
