was also a passenger on board of the Apollo when the col lision took place ; the night was tolerably clear ; had been looking a-head constantly for half an hour before the colli sion ; saw lights. coming towards the Apollo ; did not ex actly see the Monarch alter her course ; to the best of his knowledge the Monarch kept her course ; heard the Apollo man on the look-out call " steamer a-head ;" he heard the Captain of the Apollo repeatedly give orders ; he was not alarmed, because he saw there was a capital look out ; he got on board the Monarch after the vessels came together. Cornelius Ward sworn—Was stoker on board the Apollo. Was on deck when the vessel struck ; it was a fine morning, and he could see shore on both sides. He heard the captain sing out, " Starboard ! a helm ! or else you will be in us !" Witness went forward, and the Monarch came up, and struck the Apollo on the starboard bow. The engine was stopped. The engines of the Monarch were going, but can not tell in what way. Recollects being in the engine-roum of the Monarch after the collision. The Apollo stopped in an instant. _ John Phillips sworn. Is a Thames pilot ; he has mea sured the distance from either shore to the place where the Apollo now lies. From the Essex shore the distance is 260 fathoms—from the Kent side, 127 fathoms, reckoning six feet to the fathom. He measured it at low-water mark. The difference in width at low water and high water, is about 120 yards. The Apollo lies better than tso-thirds up the Reach. Witness has been a pilot twenty-nine years. If as older was given " starboard a-helm," a vessel would not make more way than half a mile in five minutes under the circumstances. After other evidence had been heard, the Jury retired (a quarter to seven o'clock), and after half an hour's delibe ration, returned the following verdict :—" The opinion of the Jury is, that Mary Ann Jones was drowned in conse quence of the collision of two steam-boats, called the Monarch and the Apollo, and which collision took place in consequence of culpable negligence and bad look-out on the part of the persons in command of the Monarch ; and we therefore levy a deodand of 390/. against the proprietors of the said steam-boat. BOROUGH OF HARWICH. A correspondent has sent us a copy of an address pre sented by the electors of Harwich to their late candidate, Captain Verner, in testimony of his extraordinary exertions in freeing the borough from centuries of corrupt monopoly. To his well combined anti unceasing activity are the Re formers of Harwich indebted fir their late success in return ing a liberal member, and hunting the illiberal one (after ha% ing been returned nine successive times) to seek refuge in sditary split vote, and that a bad one, which will be the subject of a petition. The Reformers in general owe a debt of gratitude to Captain Verner, for the energy with which be infused the spirit of liberalism into this far-famed Tory nook, which the address fully acknowle3ges ; but we perceive by the signatures of a majority of the electors at Ii irivich, that they are storing up a higher reward for tb it benefactor, and it does not require much sagacity to torc‘iell what a miserable chance any il:iberal candidate will hate at a future election in opposition to their gallant friend.

Gentlemen,—Having had the honour of being presented by you with the above Address, on the Ist of August, 18:17, at one of the most numerous and brilliant meetings of Reformers ever assembled at Harwich ; and although I returned you thanks on the spot, I consider it further due to you, to give this written acknowledgment of the very high value 1 attach tv those kind and liberal sentiments you so unexpectedly bestowed upon me that evening. No doubt I made, what I must feel, and what you have honoured me by justly expressing, "a very great personal sacrifice" in resigning the promised, powerful, and kind support, which I had every reason to justify my belief, would have been crowned with a successful triumph. I beg to assure you, that I shall feel myself amply re warded, if, by my own original plans and humble exertions, I shall be enabled to improve your town, or render some benefit to my many and attached friends residing there. I hereby pledge myself to come forward again, again, and again, to stand and protect your borough, in preference to any other place, whenever you may deem my services of the least utility, and worthy of the honourable call. Accept, once more, my sincere thanks, for the distin guished honour, and satisfactory Testimonial of the high opinion entertained of me, by so large a portion of the electors. I have the honour to remain, Your most faithful Friend, R. N. VERNER. Pall Mall, London. CHURCH-RATES. PARISH OF ST. BOTOLPII, BISHOPSGATE STREET. Yesterday a meeting was held in the vestry-room in the Church of St. Botolph (pursuant to notice), to make a Church-rate, and also to make a rate for payment of the arrears due on certain annuities granted by virtue of the Act of 30th Geo. 111., and also to make a Poor-rate; and for other purposes. Mr. GRINISDELL, the senior Church warden, was called to the Chair. Mr. SMART, the Vestry Clerk, then stated that the sum of 6591. 16s. would be required for the next quarter, in cluding the Rector's stipend, amountinr , to 5291. ; the rest was for purposes connected with the Church, to meet which a rate of sd. in the pound would be necessary. Mr. BROWN moved a rate of 4d. in the pound, which he contended would be amply sufficient for all demands which the Churchwardens were legally entitled to call upon them to discharge. Mr. BARKER, for his own part, felt indignant that the Dissenter should be taxed for the luxuries of a Church with which he had no connection.—(Hear.) It was not right or Christian-like to put their hands into the pockets of others for the beautifying, ornamenting, or other requisites of the Church—(Hear, hear) —but as he looked on that matter as likely to be soon arranged, and as the rate proposed was not a large one, he had no objection to second the motion. Mr. BROWN repeated that the rate lie proposed would be sufficient to pay the stipend of the rector and all other le_ id and necessary charges. Mr. BURTON thought the fourpenny rate would be insuf ficient. Mr. JOHNSON insisted that the rate would be sufficient. He would merely, however, object to the rate on principle as being illegal. Mr. BURTON was nearly a stranger, though a resident and ratepayer in the parish. As a dissenter he felt indig nant that Church -rates were not altogether abolished.— ( Hear, hear.) He hoped that, in a short time, it would be contrary to law to collect such a grievous impost. After some further observations, the original motion, for the fourpenny rate, was p u t, an d carr i e d— as was M r. Johnson's motion, for the additional rate of one penny in the pound. The meeting then adjourned to the vestry-room for the other purposes mentioned in the notice. - - MISS LANDON'S NEW NOVEL—We are requested to state that Mr. Co!burn, of G rea t M ar lb orough -street, has this day published " Ethel Churchill or, the Two Brides," a story of the reign of George 11., by L.

ARCHERY.—The Fraternity of St. George met yesterday, for the last time this season, to contest the elioce of Captain and Lieutenant, when, after some supe ri=or shooting by Messrs.

THE CANAD A.S, Quebec papers have been received to the 27th of Au gust. They contain a copy of the address of the House of Assembly, and the answer of his Excellency Lord Gos ford. The address was presented to his Lordship on the 26th ult., to which an answer was returned immediately, and on the same day he issued a proclamation proroguing the Legislature until the sth of October. We subjoin the address, as well as the speech of the Governor To his Excellency the Right Hon. Archibald Earl of Gosford, Baron Worlingham of Beccles, in tbs county of Kent, Captain-General, and Governor-in-Chief in and over the provinces of Lower Canada and Upper Canada, Vice-Admiral of the same, and one of her Majesty's Privy Council, &c. " May it please your Excellency— " We, her Majesty's faithful and loyal subjects, the Com mons of Lower Canada, in provincial parliament assembled, humbly thank your Excellency for your speech from the throne at the opening of the present session. We assure your Excellency that at whatever season we may be called upon to perform the duties delegated to us by the people of this province, we shall ever regard as nothing the per sonal inconvenience to which we may be subjected ; more especially when we may be called upon to deliberate on the great interests of the country under circumstances as zrave and critical as the present, when your Excellency has to communicate to us the proceedings which have taken place in the Imperial Parliament since we were last, called together, and the resolutions which have been adopted therein with regard to the affairs of this province. ‘• We ask permission humbly to represent to your Excel lency, that the course which this House has deemed it ex pedient to adopt during the last four years, with regard to the existing financial difficulties, has been founded on the best recognised principles of the Constitution, and adopted with the view of obtaining the removal of numerous abuses and grievances against which this House and the people whom it represents have long remonstrated in vain, and the greater portion of which have been recognised as existing, and have been the subjects of promises and declarations which had raised a hope that they would be speedily re dressed. It was, therefore, with deep regret, and at the same tima with surprise, that we heard your Excellency announce to us that her Majesty's Ministers, before adopt ing any measures for the removal of the numerous abuses afr,resiiid, had resolved to propose to the House of Com mons that a vote of credit should be passed for the advance, by way of loan, from British funds, of the sum required for the payment of the arrears due to the public officers, with the view that this sum should be hereafter drawn from the provincial chest, by virtue of an Act of the Imperial Par liament, if this House'should not, by granting the requisite supplies, obviate the necessity of any further action on the part of the Imperial Parliament.' " We should have believed, that under a Government which, like that of the mother country, founds its fairest claim to the consideration of other nations oil its respect for the natural and political rightt of the subject, would have felt that before proceeding to meet by measures of so ex treme a nature. and so destructive of the Constitutional rights of a whole people, the refusal of this House to pro vide for the expencea of the Civil Government of the Pro vince, it would be right to remove the main causes of this refusal, founded as it was on the existence of open and ac knowledged abuses and grievances. We should think we were deceiving your Excellency and the Imperial Govern ment if we did not firmly and frankly declare, that what ever be our anxiety to forward the woi kof conciliation, we regard these measures as an attack upon the property of the people and upon the most sacred rights of the House, and as tending greatly to affect the security of her Majesty's loyal subjects in this province, and their confidence in her Government, and therefore as constituting a serious obsta cle to the arrangement of the existing difficulties, and es tending to weaken the ties which bind this colony to the mother country. " \Vc ask leave further to represent to your Excellency, that when this House, during the last Session cf the pro ir.cial Parliament, came to the determination to suspend its de'iberations, it was influenced chiefly by the conviction, grounded on the result of the preceding Session, that it could not with advantage to the country enter into the la bours and incur the expenses of a regular session in con junction with the present legislative council, whose anterior proceedings breathed nothing but factious opposition to the wishes, wants, and interests of the people. The two Houscs of the Imperial Parliament, by declaring (as your Excellency tells us they did) that it is expedient to adopt measures for securing . to that branch of the „ . legisl.iture a greater degree of Rubric confidence,' have come forward to corroborate the opinion which the House held and still holds with regard to the legislative council. And we cannot refrain from here expressing our asto nishment that thi s s i gn ifi can t an d so l emn declaration that one of the branches of the Legislation appointed by the Crown is not so constituted as to enjoy the con fidence of the public, should be communicated to us at the same time with an imperative demand for supplies, and while her Majesty's Government has done nothing ! towards secure to that branch a higher degree of public confidence. The supplies are, as we humbly con ceive, granted by • the Commons solely in consideration of their entire confidence in the Government ; and this confi dence cannot exist while the Government leaves untouched a legislative body which it openly acknowledges not to pos sess the confidence of the public. But the astonishment produced by such a declaration, accompanied by such a de mand, must be succeeded by a more painful feeling, when we are told that our rejection of this demand will be fol lowed by the taking of the provincial moneys under the au thority of an Act of the Imperial Parliament. The people of this province would thus be punished by the violation of the most important of their rights for the fault of the exe cutive authorities, local or imperial, in abandoning the spi rit of the constitutional Act by declining so to constitute the Legislative Council as to secure public confidence in it, and by persisting in maintaining the present vicious com position of that body, notwithstanding the complaints of this House and the people it represents, reiterated during many years. "Conduct like this, on the part of the imperial autho rities, would destroy in us for ever all confidence, and all assurance in our present state of political existence, if we were not sustained by the hope that the two Houses of the Imperial Parliament, and her Majesty's Go vernment have been induced to adopt it by a forced interpretation of the terms in which this House, dur ing the last Session, declared its determination to sus pend its deliberations. if this interpretation has not been seized with avidity, and for the purpose of using it as a pretext for coercive measures towards the colony ; if a more precise and clear declaration of the mean ing of this Ilause can yet induce the Imperial authorities to prevent the effects of their misunderstanding, we de clare that we have always held, and that we still hold, that the only means of insuring to the country, in a permanent and satisfactory manner, the advantages of a representative Government, would be to apply the elective principle to the Legislative Council, and that we cannot, therefore, re commend the adoption of any other means. But if, in despite of the unhappy experience of half a century, and above all, of the vain attempt recently made to reform that body, in pursuance of the solemn recommendations of the Canada Committee of 1828, her Majesty's Government still retains the hope of being able so to re-model it as to enable it to answer the purposes of its institution, and to secure public confidence in it, it is for her Majesty's Go vernment to hasten to have recourse to this measure, and to put it to the proof. It will then remain for this House to consider whether the reform thus effected is such as to lead to the hope of a system of legislation useful and honourable to the country, which is the sole object this House has sought to attain, in demanding the application of the elective principle to the Legislative Council of this province. " We now proceed to represent to your Excellency that the declaration made by the two Houses of the Imperial Parliament on the subject of the Legislative Council of this province, is calculated to revive the hope that that branch of the Legislature will, at a period perhaps not far distant, but which is left indeterminate, be so composed as to lead the country to hope that for a time at least a re gular and beneficial system of legislation may exist ; but as this declaration neither changes nor weakens the reasons which at the last session induced this House to suspend its deliberations, we find ourselves under the painful necessity ' of adhering to the determination we then came to, of sus pending our deliberations until the consummation of the reforms—and that of the Legislative Council above all —announced by, and in the name of, the Imperial Au thorities, which, by reviving confidence, and restoring harmony in the Legislature, will give hope of the speedy disappearance of the numerous subjects of complaint enumerated in the several Resolutions, and Ad dresses of this House in former Sessions. We there fore assure your Excellency that the work of Reform._ °ice thus begun on the part of the Government— this Ifausc will be ready to receive, consiLr, and if pos sible to agree to, the several proposals which her Majesty's Government may have to make to it for the final arrange ment of the financial and other difficulties which have so long existed in this province ; and also to recommence the regular course of its deliberations, which have only been interrupted in consequence of the conviction which the House then fa.!:t, and still feels, that no other result could now attend them than that of burdening the people with considerable expense, without any of the great advantages which they have a right to expect from a Session of the Legislature. ‘-; We ask leave yet further to represent to your Excel lency, that although we do not make particular mention of the Executive Council, because we consider the reform of that body as intimately connected with that of the Legis !dtive Council, we do not consider this reform as less essen ,ial to the good government of the province, or less adapted THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1837. to toward thr: ~ vork of c at ,sj, rc i ceedings of the Executive, which appear to be only the prelude to divers others, lead us to regret that the hula of the local administration should not, under existing circum stances, have been surrounded by men possessing the con fidence of the public, and uniting with great experience in business a perfect knowledge of the feelings and disposition of the people, and who, as such, would not have advised the head of the Executive to acts which can only increase the difficulties already existing. " The particular and local objects pointed out by your Excellency, and, more especially, the advances of public money made to relieve the distress in certain parts of the province, and for other purposes, shall be the subject of our deliberations as soon as the circumstances of the province will permit." The Address having been read, his Excellency returned the following answer : " Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House •f As sembly : " The Address which you have just presented to me I shall lose no time in transmitting for the informati• of her Majesty's Government. I cannot, however, refrain from expressing the deep concern and regret I e xperience in learning from it that you persist in the determination to deprive the country of the benefits of domestic Legislation until ail the demands you have urged shall have bee❑ granted—demands which it is not in the power of the Exe cutive Government to grant, and which on being submitted at your request to the highest authorities of the empire, they have solemnly declared it is inexpedient to grant. " The voluntary and continued abandonment of your functions as one branch of the local Legislature, notwith standing the assurance you have received from the high authority to whom you have appealed, that improvements will be made in the Executive and Legislative Councils, while it daily increases the evils under which the province labours, is at the same time a virtual annihilation of the Constitution under which that Legislature derives its existence. _ _ " Being thus unhappily denied that assistance which I had hoped to receive from the representatives of the people for relieving the country from its present difficulties, it only remains for me to assure you that I shall exercise to the best of my judgment the powers vested in me as the re presentative of our Sovereign for the preservation of the rights and the advancement of the interests and Ivelfare of all classes of her Majesty's Canadian subjects. " Castle of St. Lewis, Aug. 26, 1837." IRELAND. DUBLIN, SEPT. 25. THE SI.IGO MURDER.—The mad of to-day continues its report of the investigation before the Magistrates. The latest evidence of which we have any account is that pro duced on the second day's investigation by the Rev. Mr. Spelman, the Roman Catholic Clergyman whom it is the object of certain parties to implicate in a criminal partici pation with this horrible transaction, and thus to bring into odium and discredit the great body of the Roman Catholic Clergy. The Rev. Mr. Spelman, as we stated some drys ago, has been virtually acquitted by the Magistrates, who did not hesitate to admit the Rev. Gentleman to bail. A contemporary justly remarks that, " As against the indivi dual charged, there appears as yet no ground for believing that he was a principal or consenting party to the outrage, it is distinctly proved by one of the witnesses, a physician, that he had no control whatever overthe mob, who regarded his emlea , . ours to procure accoes to the unfortunate pri soners with a most hostile feeling ; and as involving the Retinal Catholic priesthood in general, the charge wholly fails, for it is certain that the first information of the outrage was given by one of that maligned body : and it was given in the way best calculated to serve the persons aggrieved and bring their assailants to punishment, being communi cated to the recognised protectors of the peace, the police, and with the least possible delay after the first assault had been committed." The following is a report of the evidence of the two last nit nesscs produced by the Rev. Mr. Spelman, on the second (lay of the investigation : Thomas Kilmartin, sworn—Remembers the day Allen end AlcKenzits were beaten ; left Tubbercorry with Allen and McKenzie that morning on the car ; witness was going with clean linen to his two uncles in Sligo ; got on the car; when he got into the middle of the town of Tubbercorry it was midnight, or about two o'clock in the morning ; saw Mr. Kyle, who said, " there they are, there they are, those are some people who intend to injure us ;" witness then said to Pat Kilmartin, who was with him, it is better for us to go to them ; Kyle came to meet them as witness and Pat Kil martin were going up ; he had a pistol in his hand, and asked who witness and Pat Kilmartin were ; Kyle said, he was on guard of the cars ; saw him make no use of the pistol, but still held it in his hand ; witness said they were tenants of Mr. Cooper, and that they were going to Sligo ; Kyle then said, there are two cars here belonging to your master, and you may ride on them going down, loaded or unloaded they will be going down ; witness then got on the car ; it went to Cloonacool for two freeholders ; Allen and McKenzie were on the car with witness ; did not get on the car till he got up to the church ; M'Kenzie and Allen were on the car when witness got on it at the church ; they made no objection to witness getting on the car ; they did not tell witness at the time of getting on the car they were going to Cloonacool for freeholders ; they told witness along the road they were going to about Priest M'Hugh's house ; they did not tell what business they had there ; witness, Allen, and M'Kenzie went as far as Priest McHugh's house, and when they got there, they said they had a little distance further to go. When they got beyond the Priest's house, they cried out—" Cooper and Perceval for ever." IslcKenzie was one of them who cried it. Some one else cried it. Can't say whether it was the driver or Allen. Witness went on with the car to where the two freeholders were. WaAed on the road, while Allen went into the town to the freeholders place, where he lived. The freeholders were gone before them, .and witness returned with Allen, McKen zie, and the driver, back again. They came along, and met a party of people on the road. Allen rose up on the car and said—lf they would not keep back he would shoot them. When they were not keeping off, Allen snapped the pistol twice, when the pistol misted file Alien either threw the pistol at him, or reached out of the car and struck him. Saw Allen make an attempt to strike the man, and afterwards saw him bleeding. The man whom he struck was in the front of the car. He did not stop the car. Saw no one stop the car, unless the driver did so. There were not, a great many persons in it when the man was struck and bleeding. About from twenty to thirty people. Did not know one of them. Mr. Spelman was not among them. Knows Mr. Spelman since he came to be curate in this parish. Knows him more than twelve months. Could not be in that crowd, without witness seeing him at the time the car was first stopped ; at the time the man was bleeding after being struck by the pistol, the party took Allen and pulled him out of the car ; lives about five or six miles from that place ; never was there before ; thinks he would know the man who got the stroke of the pistol ; it is his opinion if Allen had not threatened to shoot them, and struck the man, they would not be molested ; they were then beat when they were dragged out of the car ; the party kept witness, M'Kenzie, and Allen, in the house into which they put them ; witness was not beat, he was saved by a party of women ; would not know any of the women who saved him ; did not see a woman at all in the place when the attack was first made ; he threw himself out of the car and a man seized him ; some time after another man came up with two stones to strike him ; six or seven women, big and little, followed and took the stones out of the other man's hands ; they then put them into a house ; Allen, McKenzie and witness were about an hour or two in the house ; they then came and tied Allen, M'Kenzie, and wit ness ; they brought them away into a mountain ; thinks he would not know any of them, ezianpt one, who, he thinks, he • would know by eye-sight ; before they *ere tied, Priest Spelman came into the house, he said they were badly off and should be let go out of that. That was the first time witness saw Mr. Spelrnan that day ; was let go, after he was brought up to the mountain, some one came and loosed him, whom he did not know. Allen and McKenzie asked Mr. Spelman to let them go, and Mr. Spelman said they should be let go, and a man out of the crowd said, " Devil a one of them should be let go." Mr. Spelman said nothing after the man said so, but that Mien, McKenzie, and witness were in a bad way ; did not see Mr. Spelman after that. Does not remember whether Mr. Spel man said anything else. It was a very short time after Mr. Spelman event away they were tied. If the mob could be said or led by Mr. Spelman, think they would be let go. Does not know the man who liberated him. Witness, Allen, and APKenzie were brought to the mountain together. Witness was not blindfolded at that time, it was on the mountain side he was, not in any house. Had no conversa tion with Allen or 'McKenzie on the Mountain. As soon as lie was loosened, he went as fast as ever he could home. Mrs. Anne Branan, sworn—Remembers the day Allen and M'Kenzie were beaten ; saw M'Kenzie go into a yard ; she stood on the street for about half an hour, and was quite alarmed ; saw Mr. Spelman riding down from her father-inlaw's house ; she stopped on the street until Mr. Spelman came up to her ; asked Mr. Spelman what she would do, she was so confused ; Mr. Spelman bid her get something to refresh them ; Mr. Spelman rode off then ; can't say which road, Frenchford or the mountain road ; was told Mr. Spelman was baptizing'; at his return Mr. Spelman came into her house, and she called him up stairs ; can't toy how long he was away ; made a drink for him winch he had not taken, when there came an account that Cie police were in the street ; begged of Mr. Spelman not to go one of her house, as she had not a Christian in it at t h e time ; he said he would go out to speak to the •police ; he did go out to the police ; did not see him after ; it was in witness's out-11° , 3 , 7e Allen and M'Kenzie were put into ; did not look out at all ; does not know any of the persons who put them into the out-house ; closed the doors and was afrai , l ;per hence ; washing himself ; did not see Allen at all ; did not give the refreshment ordered by Mr. Spelman for the three men, they were taken away so soon ; witness did not hear of Mr. Spelman's exciting the mob to perpetrate this deed ; did not see him speaking to any one but herself. It appears that two policemen were cognizant of the si tuation of the sufferers, Allen and M‘Kenzie, on the first day of their detention. They knew, it is said, that the poor fellows were maimed and wounded, left to die without medical or any other assistance whatever, and yet it seems neither of these policemen had courage or humanity enough to approach them. Justice evidently demands that an in vestigation should be instituted into the alleged cowardly and inhuman conduct of these policemen. LONGFORD MURDER.—There was a man of the name of Thomas Farrell murdered a few days since at Bally mahon, county Longford. The persons accused were two men of the name of Johnson, father and son, and a man of the name of Frayne. The former were persons in rather a respectable rank of life, and reputed Orangemen, and renters of the tolls. From the part they took at the elec tion, the people determined to do away with the tolls, which it appears by the result, the Johnsons had no right to leuy. Farrell was active in the proceedings which deprived them of the tolls, and as the Johnsons were heard to use some threats of revenge, report connected the murder with the toll proceedings. The following is the unanimous verdict of the jury, upon which were three men of the Tory party : " We find the deceased, Thomas Farrell, came by his death by wounds inflicted on his left side with a sharp in strument by John Johnson, while he (deceased) was in con flict with John Frayne, and that Andrew Johnson aided therein ; and that John Frayne was accessory thereto." There was an immense excitement in Longford, where the Johnsons were committed to prison, 10,000 persons having assembled to attend the funeral of Farrell.—Pilot. EXTRAORDINARY INVESTIGATION.—The Irish Papers contain an exceedingly long report of an investigation which took place last Saturday, at the Arran-quay Office, into a most atrocious outrage, which was stated to have been com mitted on the banks of the canal, near James's -street, on the previous Sunday. A statement of th e t ransac ti on i n question appeared in Saunde, s' paper, in the shape of a letter from under the hand of Mr. J. O'Reilly, in Dc•lphin's barn, which caused some respectable inhabitants of the neighbourhood to set an inquiry on foot, with a view of dis covering the perpetrator of so foul a deed, and bringing him to that punishment which he so justly merited ; but, 'upon a very minute inquiry, those persons who set the in quiry on foot were of opinion that the thing did not occur, arid they were anxious that the neighbourhood should be relieved from the imputation, and they accordingly called on the Magistrates to investigate the matter, in order that the I facts might go before the public. The Magistrates, when this call was made upon them, sent word to O'Reilly, who published the letter, to come forward and sustain, by the best proof he could, the statements he had made. O'Reilly being thus in some measure compelled to establish the truth of his charges, came forward, attended by Counsel and witnesses. " TO THE EDITOR OF SAUNDERS' NEWS-LETTER. " Sir,—Allow me. to beg you will have the kindness to call the attention of the people of England, and the Protes tant part of the community of this country, to the following specimen of the sort of civilization and security for life which her Majesty's Protestant Biblical subjects enjoy at this morneut. " On Sunday last, four ladies, two children, and my son, about the age of eighteen, were proceeding, about a quar ter to twelve, along the banks of the Grand Canal, to their parish church, St. James's. and as they approached tbe stores opposite Newport-street, and where the canal is deepest (being at least six or seven feet perpendicular at the very brink), they had to walk in single file to avoid the dirt in the centre of the street, and to keep on the raised bank along the edge of the water. It was then that my daugh ter, about fifteen years of age, was precipitated instantane ously into the water, by a demon in human form, about her own age, who had advanced from the opposite side of the street for this hellish purpose, exclaiming in her ear, with the scowl 'of Satan, Go to , you Swaddler and your Bible,' she having a Bible and prayer-book under her arm at +he time. Her brother, hearing the splash only, as he was in front, and perceiving as he turned round his sister's boa only on the surface, with that presence of mind, which God alone can give to those who confide in him and his word, without taking any portion of his clothes off, or hesitating a single second, leaped into the midst of the canal, and rescued, with the aid of Providence, his de voted sister from instantaneous death ! Were it not for the medical attention she received afterwards, from kind friends, her ultimate recovery would be extremely doubtful. " We may speak of the savages of New Zealand, and the bipeds who maltreated Mrs. Frazer and her friends on the coast of New South Wales—we may 101 l in security whilst the thunder is at a distance, and smile at its effects ; but here is a fact brought home to our own doors—a fact the atrocity of which, and the fiendish spirit which influ enced the actor, can hardly be paralleled in any country or clime. " As a father, influenced by paternal feelings, I call upon the friends of humanity, the friends of religion, of what ever sect, or party they may be, to form, if they can, even by conjecture, the deplorable state of distraction of mind which her mother and I must have been thrown into, when the first tidings of this sad transaction reached us, by our son rushing into the house with his clothes all wet, and at the same time mentioning that he had just taken his sister out of the canal.' One of the ladies called to the crowd to take the Bible out of the water—she was answered only by one of the men present exclaiming Damn the Bible.' I remain, Sir, " Your most obedient humble servant, " J. O'REILY. " Dolphin's-barn, Dublin, Sept. 19, 1837." After the case had proceeded to a certain stage, on a de mand being made by Mr. Sprat, that the young lady her self should be sworn, The Magistrate said the young lady has been privately examined at what may be called an ex-parte investigation ; and she has satisfied our mind that she has been thrown into it ; but she would not be able to identify the person who did it. Mr. Spratt—lt would be more important that she should satisfy the public mind ; there is not a doubt but the thing was a mere accident. Magistrate —So it is asserted ; and I believe the re gular way is to prove so if 3 ou can. Mr. Spratt—We will prove it so ; the thing is a base fabrication. If it occurred, why not tell the ' police, in stead of inserting it in a newspaper in four days after? Mr. Browne—When was it first reported at this office ? Magistrate —I believe not till th e p u bli ca ti on ap peared in the newspaper. Subsequently Eliza O'Reily, the lady in question, was examined—She was a thin, sallow-faced, diminutive girl, about sixteen ; she deposed that she was in the habit of attending and teaching at the Sunday school ; was there on last Sunday ; was going afterwards to church with her friends ; was a little way behind, when she met a man about forty years of age ; he said, " there you go, you Swaddler ;" was much frightened, and walked on fast after her friends ; when she got down to Newport-street, she saw two boys ; one of them had a dark coat, corduroy trousers, a cap, with fur on it, and the fur torn just here, on the left side (here the witness put her hand up to her ear); he came running over to her, and said, " oh, you Swadler, with your Bible," and on saying it he put his two hands to her shoulder, and pushed her off into the canal ; of course she could not remember anything further. At the conclusion of the case the magistrates said they were anxious to know if the gentlemen who caused the in vestigation wished to have their opinion. Mr. Spratt said they would not press for any opinion from the bench ; what they wanted was the facts to go before the public ; and in his opinion the most favourable construction that could be put on the case was that it ori ginated in the imagination of a girl that was frightened ; he and the gentlemen with him did their duty, and they were perfectly satisfied with the result. Alderman Studdart said that there could be no doubt but the lady was thrown in, and that her father was ac tuated by parental feelings in putting the case before the public. Mr. Browne said he thought it would be better that no one g ave any opinion about the matter, but leave the p u bli c to judge ; but he would ask, why was a statement put forward about cursing the Bible. There was no evidence with regard to that part of the case at all. The parties then all left the office. Ma. O ' CONNELL AND lIIS CALUMNIATORS.—The Pilot, in au article condemnatory of the clemency of the Irish Government towards the Orange stipendiary Vignoles, has the following remarks, in relation to the sanguinary speech falsely and flagitiously reported to have been delivered by Mr. O'Connell at Carlow :—" The Mad now asserts that the Government had been sent an official report of a speech of Mr. O'Connell's in Carlow, which he never spoke, but which, it i 3 admitted, the said Vignoles furnished his version of to a Tory Member, to be used against the Government under which he acted, from which he got favours, and which has since extended mercy to him. From whom did the Tfail learn this fact, if fact it be ? Evidently from the grateful functionary himself, emboldened, not conciliated, by the mercy shown to him. What is the use he has got ma d e of this statement ? His publishers, the Mill, bring th e charge against the Lord Lieutenant, that, forsooth, O'Connell dined with him while he was possessed of this official accusation. Suppose the said Vignoles did snake such a charge officially, what was the part proper for the Lord Lieutenant to have taken ? He had invited Mr. O'Connell to dine. Had he a right to believe a person he thought worthy of his society capable of such a speech without proof ? Had he not a right to account any man innocent until proved guilty ? Surely, there is not even ,e l O - 1 1 e et , , ;‘ ;e l o; Tory law as that accl)set cmiviction ? There eras', too, such ei eii;:ure) ti.e face of the expressions attributed—who could believe them ? " You must shed blood ; and I say this, that blood may not be shed," is arrant nonsense. Yet such was the speech falsely attributed by this trustworthy and veracious official to a man, of whom, whatever may be said of him, is not often accused of talking nonsense." • Mr. O'Connell used no such expressions, and the person who reported them must have wilfully fabricated. We were within one or two of Mr. O'Connell on the occasion. Mr. O'Connell and all those about him knew perfectly well Mr Vokes was in the room. It was the subject of con versation previous to the speech. There was no probability, therefore, that a man who wished to convey what Mr. Vignoles imputed, would have said it was the perfect know ledge that a Tory official was in the room. But he said, in fact, the direct reverse in words and meaning—if the Vig noles version can be said to mean anything which is a con tradiction. Mr. O'Connell said in substance that " Irish men had often been injured,' and had borne it. But in sults were harder to bear than injuries, an d therefore it was that having been insulted' by the alien speech, if justice were not done to Ireland he feared be could not restrain men so insulted, and that blood would be shed ; and as he always deprecated that, to prevent blood being shed he called upon Irishmen to animate themselves to procure justice." This was the substance of what Mr. O'Connell said, and not the Vignoles absurdity about invoking the shedding of blood that blood may not be shed. The case can now be brought to the test. The .2Wail ha's declared in effect, that Mr. Vignoles reported to the Go vernment the absurd speech ascribed to Mr. O'Connell. Let him he required to substantiate it, and let e itnesses be called. He will be proved by reporters who took down Mr. O'Connell's real words, and hundreds of others—a slanderer ; and if he did report such words to the Govern ment, he was a deceiver, and unworthy of further trust. Either Mr. O'Connell said the words, and deserves punish ment at least for nonsense, if not sedition ; or else Vokes is a slanderer of the man, and a betrayer of his office. Let the case be tried—and then, if Vignoles be proved a fabri cator, which we pledge ourselves he will, then let him be dismissed, and we venture to predict there would be less insolence shown under that dismissal than under the present half measure. If, added to that Mr. Gleeson's case was reconsidered, and that he who refused to aid the man " too ready to resort to force" was estimated as he ought to be— es a functionary who saved the shedding of blood, and, per haps, the tainting of the election—by viewing the conduct of Vignoles on the instant, as the Government afterwards did by its censure, there would be nothing wanting then to the justice administered in the case—and we predict that vigorous justice would be followed by the submission of the party now emboldened by inadequate punishment to its minion, and by the sacrifice of a meritorious officer to ap- pease its vengeance. LAW APPOINTMENT.-Mr. Power, the eminent soli citor and tried patriot, of Carrick-on-Suir, is appointed Fi lacer of the Law Exchequer ; the salary 8001. a year. This appointment is in every way up to the mark, will encourage honest men, and inspire confidence in a Government which is found worth while to defend. The Rev. R. J. M‘Ghee.has published a couple of cpis tles, the upshot of which consists in this, that he will not meet the Rev. Thos. Maguire in the controversy about cer tain portions of Dens' book on Theology. The Athlone Centinel states that John O'Connell, Esq. M.P., has returned from France, and that the projected en tertainment to him and his illustrious father will take place early next month. The proposition of Ireland's most gifted and eloquent son, to invite the Sovereign to visit this interesting portion of her dominions, will be responded to by grateful and loyal millions in a spirit worthy the incomparable purity of Erin's daughters, the exalted virtue of her matrons, and prover bial chivalry of her sons. In the glorious language of the sing-le-minded Boyse, " her Majesty will come, where she will hear in the plaudits, and read in the eyes of an admi ring people, the enthusiasm of their allegiance, where the affection, and devotedness, and the hearts and hands of free smiled men will be all the ramparts round her."—Wexford Independent. STATE OF IRELAND. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) DUBLIN, SEPT. 25. " Jam fides, et pax, et honor."—HortAc E. In my last communication under the above head, I stated that this country was now in an " extraordinary position," enjoying more of peace and plenty, and hope of increasing happiness in future, that had fallen to her share since her connexion with the British Crown. I added, that this happy state of things was' producing much confidence and content ; and in proof of such assertion, amongst other arguments, alluded to the contemplated dissolution of the General Association. The proceedings of that body at their last public meeting have confirmed one part, while the sentiments expressed at the meeting of the citizens of Dub lin, to raise an election fund in opposition to the endeavours of the faction to unseat our present representatives by " money power," and at the dinner to the representatives of the county of Wexford, subsequently bear out other parts of my statement. But the latter, of the most striking incidents of which there is an ample report in the Wexford Independent of Saturday last, is more especially entitled to public attention. It was my lot, during an excursion through those parts, to have been present at that dinner, and to have witnessed the proceedings of that civilized and patriotic portion of my countrymen with feelings which I am unable to describe. I have since looked through the newspapers of this country, in many of which an outline of the speeches delivered on the occasion have been re ported, for the eloquent and spirit-stirring effusion of " Boyse of Bannow," but have nowhere seen an adequate representation of the effects produced by its delivery. The journal just mentioned has, no doubt, given a verbatim copy of the language used by that highly-gifted man, as far as it was possible for art to represent an original. But the " thoughts that breathe, and words that burn," do not start forth with half the brilliancy and effect that accom panied the accomplished gentleman's own enunciation of them, in presence of the beauty and intelligence of his native county. Never was the compliment to the Grecian orator by his adversary more truly applied than it might be in this instance—" What would you say had you heard himself speak those sentiments." And yet this speech is, in my mind, inferior in substance and statesman-like views to one which was ascribed to Mr. Bo,:se about twelve months ago, on the occasion of Lo r d Mulgrave's being entertained in that county. It is, however, peculiarly en titled to the attention of the Sun, on account of the fresh and original views which it suggests on the subject of the ballot and of re-action. . Under the impression, therefore, that it is the duty of a public writer to give publicity to those arguments and opinions which coincide with and sus tain so ably the policy which he advocates, I send you a number of the Independent, and recommend its contents to your earliest notice. If Mr. Boyce's physical powers were equal to those of . his highly cultivated understanding, he would unquestionably be a great pillar of the St a t e at the present juncture. But the very delicate state of his health has hitherto, unfortunately for his country, greatly circumscribed the sphere of his utility—he cannot under take the laborious duties of a representative of the people in Parliament, at a crisis in which the affairs of Ireland require the constant attendance and exertions of her friends. The Tory party here are considerably crest-fallen of late. They feel that their attempt against the rights of the people, by means of the " money power," is likely to be a failure. They feel, too, that having originated that species of policy, they have committed themselves in violation of the principles of the Constitution. The Bth section of the " Bill of Rights" prohibits expressly any interference in the freedom of election. And it is not a little singular, that the party who have been boasting of the privileges secured to us by that Bill, should be the first to commit an infraction bf them. But those who move about in darkness frequently/ fall into the very pits which they have themselves dug. So it is with our our n ew -f ang l e d C onservat i ves. I n t h e " dark ness visible" which has for some time surrounded them, they bethought —not of the light of the Gospel, which would teach them to leave men's consciences free— but of the light or brightness of gold and silver, by which they hoped to extricate themselves from the " slough of despond" into which they have fallen. Now this glittering , resolve is likely to be counteracted by two great antago nists; first, the spirit of the revolution of 1688 which rises up against them ; and secondly, by the resolution of the people who are determined to fight them, if necessary, with their own weapons. The weight of metal, as of reason, is on the side of the latter, and the faction here are just beginning to discover it. If they persevere with the money power, so much the sooner must they be ruined irretrievably. The spirit of the people will be unbroken. Not so the for tunes of the faction. What means the almost universal cry for the ballot that we are beginning to hear on every side ? From what party does it proceed ? Is it not from those who wish by its means to avoid the disagreeableuess of :In open rupture with their landlords—who prefer the attain ment of their rights by peace and charitableness, to an open hostility with those whom they are disposed to re spect, but by whom ultimatel3 they will not be restrained ? I repeat it : Why does the question of the ballot, alien to England, proceed from Reformers ? Because they know not only their oxn sentiments, but the sentiments of some who now vote against them. These are a few of the opi nions which begin to gain ground on this side of the water. On Monday week William Haddington, alias Bill Cork, a collier at Padiham, undertook for a wager to hop on one foot, without resting, one mile and a half on the turnpike-road, which he completed in twenty-fbur and a half minutes.
