MARSIIALL, Chief Cashier. 146. Dated the let day of October, 18 ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR. (THIS DAY.) CLOSE OF THE FOURTH DAY'S POLL. The cause of Alderman Wood, or rather that of the independence of the Livery of London, progresses as well as its best wishers could hope for or expect. At three o'clock to-day the fourth day's poll closed, and before half-past three the following was declared by the Sheriff to be the state of the poll: Mr. Alderman Wood Sir George Carr01l Mr. Alderman Hooper Mr. Alderman Farncomb. Mr. Alderman Moon 1 We rued not again repeat the statement of yesterday, that the two last announcements were received with xnuch laughter. In the course of the interval, between the closing of the poll and the announcement of the state of it., jests among the members of the Livery were at a premium. Among them wits one, for which we take some little credit to ourselves : one of the Livery seeing Mr. Carroll (we presurue the son of Sir George, on the hustings), exclaimed, " Mr. Carroll, have you seen The Sun newspapi of yesterday? because there is something there for you to mark, learn, and inwardly digest !—(Laughter.) The state of the poll having been announced, Mr. Alderman Woon came forward amid tremendous cheering to address the Livery. It was not his purpose to detain them for any length of time. The state ei f the poll demonstrate d the steady progress that was being made on his behalf, and showed the good feeling that was entertained on his behalf by the Livery.—c,r-IL ar, and cheers.) For himself, he returned them his most sincere thanks for the exertions they had male in his behalf. He was gratified beyond all measure at tho •way in which they had supported him.—(Cries of " We ,are determined to do so.") The contest was peculiarly that of the Livery, and he was happy to see that a liveliness had been thrown about their proceedings that day which had relieved the dull tedium of a slow election.-- (Cheers.) He begged of them not to forget to-morrow morning, at nine o'clock ; and he was sure he need not, request of the Livery to continue their exer tions, and augment the splendid majority that appeared that day in his behalf.—(Cheers.) Between himself and those who were associated with him on the poll no unkind feeling existed, and he was sure there never woald—(Cheers)—fur himself he had only to say, :L . 'tat he should be the last to disturb it.—(Cheers.) ;Ur. ENOLISII (the editor of the Mining Journal, as lee understood) then came forward to address the 146,17; he was met with considerable confusion, wheu Iti/ "'~ ' THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAV EVENING, OCTOBER 2, 1846 Mr. HOLT stated that it was the wish of Mr. English to explain away an injury that he had unintentionally inflicted, some time ago, on Alderman Wood. Mr. ENGLISH said that he had nothing to retract, but something to explain. It had been re ported, he knew, in particular quarters, that as far as himself and Mr. Alderman Wood were con cerned, a compromise had taken place between them. He begged most unequivocally to state that such a report was totally without foundation—that he had not seen Mr. Alderman Wood since the statement he made some time ago till yesterday, and that no com munications had passed between them.—(Cheers.) Mr. Holz was delighted to see the Livery adopting the course they were now pursuing.—(Cheers.) They were showing to the world and their fellow-citizens that they were alive to their rights, that they were deter mined to show their abhorrence of injustice, and give to I Alderman Wood the only reward in their power—the high post of the chief magistrate of the first city in the world.—(Cheers.) The Hall was then adjourned till to-morrow morning at nine o'clock. ARMAGH, COLERAINE, and PORT- RUSH RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.) A meeting of the shareholders was held to-day, at the London Tavern, at the instance of five of the scrip holders, to determine on the propriety of dissolving the Company. Mr. Griffin C. Galt was called to the chair. The SECRETARY read the requisition of the scrip holders and the advertisement convening the meeting. Mr. CREED wished to know why this meeting had not been called prior to that which was convened to de termine on amalgamation with another company ? The CHAIRMAN said, because the requisition calling this meeting had not been sent in before that. Messrs. James Stride, William Palmer, and Thomas Culverwell were appointed scrutineers. The SECRETARY then read a report from the directors of the affairs of the company since the date of the last meeting. It stated that, in January of the present year, an amalgamation with the Dublin, Coleraine, and Belfast Company was resolved on, and such parts selected from both lines as, in the opinion of the best authorities, would make a good line ; and the directors were of opinion that, but for the state of the money market, it would have perfectly satisfied the whole of the shareholders. They had at once complied with the requisition, and called this meeting, and were resolved to remain neutral, that the shareholders alone might determine the ques tion of dissolution. If the result of this meeting should be the dissolution of the company, then the directors were prepared to return the money of the shareholders, less the expenses as settled by the deed of agreement. If, however, it should be resolved to go on, then the company would either go to Parlia ment during the coming session for a line between Armagh and Portrush, or they would endeavour to effect an arrangement with the Dublin, Coleraine, and Belfast Company for the exchange of scrip. To do the former would be most; ruinous, and the change of scrip with the other company, if it could be effected, was a the most rational course which they could adopt. Mr. WATT, Queen's Proctor for Ireland, thought it monstrous folly to go to Parliament for a line from Ar magh to Portrush. As a representative of 6,000 shares, ha had come to London to vote against a dissolution of the company. An Act had been granted to the Dublin, Coleraine, and Belfast Company, for a line along the same route, which was a good line, and one that would pay, moved that the company be not dissolved. Mr. E. FAULKNER seconded the motion. Mr. SCHULTZ thought that Mr. Watt was out of order in moving this other than as an amendment. He moved that this company be dissolved. Mr. CREED, in seconding the motion, complained of the conduct of the directors and secretary, and asked if 'the chairman would lay a financial statement before the meeting ? The CHAIRMAN said that question was not before this meeting ; they had met only to determine whether this company should be dissolved. He then put the questions to the meeting, and the shareholders proceeded to the vote ; the result was— For dissolution.... Against it 9,965 Mv' - sritv d"-gol • _ajority flgains, --8,305 The CHAIRMAN said the directors would take this as a confirmation of the amalgamation of the 28th of August. A vote of thanks to the Chairman was unanimously passed, and the meeting separated. SALES OF RAILWAY SHARES BY AUCTION.—(THIS DAY.) The sale of railway shares to-day, at Messrs.

By private treaty there was little business done in any sort, but good ordinary pale Native Ceylon was not to be obtained tinder 398 per cwt. Tna.—Holders of Congou are unwilling to further reduce their prices, although the trade act with caution, and do not take moro than their wants compel them. Pouchong is wanted, and the supply being small, holders are enabled to obtain gel to bid for low to middling, and 7d to 10d for good to fine. Twankay has met with little attention. For Scented Orange Pekoe there are not many buyers although good to fine can b e o b ta i ned at 18 9d , to 2s, and plain at 9d to 10d. Of Hyson several parcels have been sold in consequence of merchants further reducing their prices. In Gunpowder there has been little passing, and prices are lowering. For Imperial the market has a dull ap pearance. The consumption is going on satisfactorily, and the trade in town or country are not over supplied, but the stock hel: by importers is immense, and far exceeds that of last year. Merchants are complaining of the loss they ex perience on the importation of the common kinds of black and green Tea.

Mace is still wanted, and nearly fetch late rates; 36 chests at auction were sold. Pimento has been in excellent request. Black Pepper is not offered at any further decline, and the market has been less freely supplied • but there has been o n ly a li m it e d b us i ness transacted privately. Several parties are surprised that the demand is not brisker, as prices are low compared with those of former seasons, and the stock not large. White has met with little attention, and prices continue to rule low. Cassia Lignea is wanted, and in consequence of the small supply prices are rising. Cloves have been sparingly dealt i.t, but lower rates are not taken. For Jamaica Ginger prices ruling low occasions the demand to be good, and the parcels disposed of were at rather higher rates; the better qualities being the most in request. East India and African bronght stiffer rates, and a fair sineas has been transacted privately. Cinnamon is wanted, and privately several parcels have been sold at prices 2d to 4d per pound above those of the last quarterly sales; the improvement being more apparent on the better sorts.

Calcutta has been in excellent request, and prices are firmer. Fur Leeward Island the market has a dull appearance, and only small parcels have been sold at 2s 2d to 2s 3d proof strength. Demerara has met with little at tention, and 3s to 3s 3d is the value of strong qualities. The arrivals of West India Rum have been extensive this week. Holders of Brandy evince firmness, and insist upon fell rates, but the demand has been less active ; the deliveries are, however, going on largely. In Geneva several sales for ex portation have been made. In Corn Spirits an extensive business has been done, and prices are very firm ; speculators are operating. In English Gin a good business has been transacted.

Of Grenada 499 bags were offered at auction, and a part only sold. Foreign has met with little attention. SAGO is wanted, but at present no advance in the value has taken place. For Tapioca prices remain low, and the supply yet exceeds the demand. MotAssks.—The value of West India is 21s to 245, but there has been only a limited business transacted. Bally Khal Treacle has been in good demand at 21s Gd to 225. Rics.—Bengal is wanted, and in consequence of the small supply at market, a further improvement in prices has taken place, many parcels having been disposed of privately.

Cleaned has been largely dealt in. Spanish and Italian white are wanted.

SALTPETRE.—There are sellers of Rough by private con tract rather under previous rates, still few purchases have been made by exporters and the home trade. On English Refined the demand has been good at 29s 6d to 30s, but there is more desire to sell thereat. Nifrate of Soda can be obtained at 16s to IGs 6d per cwt, but little business has been done. Otis.—ln Seal Oil large purchases have been made this week, principally by the home trade, and further advanced rates are given. Holders evince much firmness, and some will not sell at present prices; the stock not being heavy. and the consumption going on satisfactorily. For Cod redused rates having been taken occasioned the demand to be brisker. No further advance has occurred in the value of Southern, but the demand has been good, and the supply at market is still small. In Sperm Oil a good business has been transacted, but holders ere inclined to realize, as there is a fair stock. The arrivals of Fish Oi;s have increased since our last report. No further improve ment has taken place in the value of Linseed Oil, as there is a large quantity being produced. Itape Seed Oil has been in excellent demand, and prices have advanced.

Hors.—Prices rulinglow, occasions the demand to be good ; but there is a la rge quan tit y on offer, and a desire is mani fested to realise. TußptorriNF.—prices continue rapidly to advance ; the supply being small, and the demand extensive. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER, SEPT. 29.—The expected arrivals of the Indian mail, which was to leave Bombay on Aug. 27, and of the Britannia steamer, which would sail from Bos ton on the 16th instant, have tended to limit demand in our market ; both sellers and buyers being anxious to learn further intelligence of the condition and prospects of the cotton crop, and of the state of commer cial affairs in India—where a considerable improvemer.t is confidently expected. The amount of business done was consequently limited ; but prices, both of goods and yarns, are very firm ; and in some cases higher rates than those current last week are demanded by spinners and manufacturers. ROCHDALE, SEPT. 28.—We have had a fair business to-day, at prices much the same as those of the preced ing week. In the wool market there is very little change, except, perhaps, that it is more difficult to buy foreign wool at last week's prices. AUDDEERSFIELD, SEPT. 29.—Our market to-day is without animation; indeed, it may be said to be flatter than last week. Some of the fancy cloth manufac turers have received orders, but not to the extent they had reason to anticipate. Wools are much the same in price, but sales cannot be made, although they are up in the London markets. In the warehouses there is not much doing. LEEDS, SFPT. 29.—We have no better account to give of our this day's market than of precedin g ones. The demand continues slack, and p ro fi ts are very small on all the business actually done. Sir William Denison has left town to embark for Van Diemen's Land, to assume the government of that colony. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MA RYLEBONE. Thomas Dell, a cab-driver, was charged with leaving his cab unattended ; also with being drunk and assault ing police-constable Handley, 121 S. The case was first brought before the magistrate a few days ago, and it was then adjourned in order that time should be afforded for producing witnesses on the part of the defendant. Numerous cases have of late been dismissed by magistrates at the various metropolitan police-courts, upon the evidence given by policemen, and it will be seen from the subjoined statement that another case of perjury has been committed, in order to ensure, if possible, a conviction. Mr. Davies, solicitor, Princes -street, Leicester-square, attended for the defendant. Handley's evidence was to the effect that on the 24th ult., at half-past nine in the evening, he saw a cab stand ing by the Jolly Gardeners, Crescent -street, Euston square, unattended, and he therefore laid hold of the horse with the view of taking the vehicle away, when defendant came up and struck him violently with his badge. He was very drunk, and witness conveyed him to the station-house. In his cross-examination by Mr. Davies, witness ad mitted that it was 11 o'clock when he took defendant in charge. Another constable and sergeant were called, both of whom deposed to the prisoner being the worse for drink. Mr. Forrest, an anatomical artist, residing at 33, Southampton-street, Euston-square, stated that he got into the cab in Drummond -street, accompanied by a friend, and desired to be driven to Long-acre ;on the way he and his friend alighted at the Jolly Gardeners, Crescent-street, and while they were partaking of some refreshment at the bar, his (witness's) attention was at tracted by a noise near the door. He went out, and saw the policeman taking fast hold of the reins of the horse's head; the defendant, who had been taken into custody, did not inflict any blow whatever upon the officer, but the latter shook him, without any occasion for so doing, in a most violent and unwarrantable manner. Mr. Phillipps corroborated the preceding evidence, and it was quite clear from the replies which he and Mr. Forrest made to questions put to them, that the cabman was perfectly sober; he had taken up a fare at Steven's Hotel, and had not set his party down at the railway station more than five minutes when he was engaged by Mr. Forrest. Mr. Davis, addressing the magistrate, said, that from the evidence brought forward, lie thought that enough had been stated to justify a dismissal of the police-con stable's charge. Mr. LONG expressed an opinion, after the evidence which he had heard, that the defendant was not drunk, as stated by the officers, and he (defendant) was there fore discharged. ,_ John Jones, a well-dressed young man, was placed at the bar, charged with having indecently exposed himself to a young woman, named Mary Ryles, servant to Mr. Price, Gloucester Cottage, Upper Albany-street, Regent's Park. The short facts of the case are these:—Com plainant was watering some flowers at the kitchen window on the previous evening, when the prisoner came up to the front of the house, and there committed the offence imputed to him. She communicated what bad taken place to her master, who pursued the prisoner, and, after a hard run, succeeded is collaring him. He was given into the custody of 292 S, and on the way to the station-house, he said be went to the place for a particular purpose, and ho had no intention of insulting any one. The prisoner denied the charge imputed to him, and said that, having just left an adjacent mews, he was ad justing his dress, and, having done so, was going away, when Mr. Price laid hold of him. He was quite inno cent of the offence alleged against him. The MAGISTRATE, after putting one or two further questions to the witnesses, came to the conclusion that the charge had been satisfactorily substantiated, and sentenced the prisoner to three months, with hard la bour, in the House of Correction. WORSHIP-STREET. Thomas Plummer, described as a bedstead maker, was placed at the bar before Mr. Binghhm, charged with as saulting and wounding a poor woman named Mary Red ford, who appeared in Court with one of her eyes en tirely closed and bore numerous other evidences of most brutal usage. The complainant stated, that after struggling for a long time, procuring a precarious subsistence by needle work, and enduring the greatest privation, she was at length induced to accept the prisoner's overtures and place herself under his protection, but had ever since been subjected by him to a continued series of privation, cruelty, and ill-treatment. On the preceding afternoon he returned home in a state of partial intoxication, and . not finding a hot dinner provided for him, although he had not left her the means of procuring it, assailed her with the foulest epithets, and seizing a poker, struck her such a violent blow on the back of her head with it that she instantly fell to the ground stunned and in sensible. On recovering her feet the prisoner again at tacked her, beating her about the head with his fists, closing up one of her eyes as the magistrate then saw her, a second time felled her to the ground, and re peatedly kicked her with such violence that nearly the whole of her person was covered with bruins. Tier screams at length attracted the attention of some of the lodgers in the house, who rescued her from further ill usage, and carried her up to bed, in which she remained for several hours unable to move, but at last succeeded in making her way down stairs to the street-door, where she waited until a policeman came up, into whose cus tody the prisoner was given. In answer to the charge the prisoner said that he ac.. knowledged having struck the woman with th e p o k er i n the manner she had described, but declared that he had acted under feelings of the strongest provocation, induced by the exciting language she had used towards him. Mr. BINGHAM characterised the case as one of the worst of its kind that had ever come under his notice, and, regretting his inability to subject the accused to a greater punishment, ordered hi m t o p a y th e hi g h est amount of penalty it was in his power to impose— namely, al., and in default of so doing he must stand committed to the House of Correction for two months, with hard labour. The prisoner was unable to pay the fine, and at the close of the Court was removed to gaol in the van. LAMBETH. lVilliain Anylis, a notorious thief and a desperate cha racter, was placed at the bar before Mr. Norton on a charge of violently assaulting and attempting to rob Mr. Robert Calton,: a toy-manufacturer, residing in Kennington-green, on the preceding night. Mr. Calton, whose countenance bore the most un equivocal proofs of savage violence, both his eyes being blackened, his cheeks and lips much cut, and his whole face in fact presenting a swollen mass of discolouration, cuts, and contusions, deposed that he had been to the King's Arms public-house, Lower Kennington-lane, on the night before, and there met the prisoner, who claimed acquaintance with him, and said he knew him well. though he might not recollect him. He (prosecutor) was at this time a little the worse for drink, but still knew very well what he was about, and prisoner and himself left the Ring's Arms together and went to the Black Prince, in Princes-road, Kennington.- They left about half-past twelve, and the prisoner would insist upon seeing him home from the Black Prince. When they had got near to his (prosecutor's) house the prisoner said he should go part of the way home with him; but he refused to do so, upon which he struck him three or four desperate blows on the face, and knocked him down. The instant he fell the prisoner knelt on his ehest and tried his utmost to force open his coat, and get at his watch, which was in his right-hand waistcoat pocket, hut he held it tight and called out " Murder" as loud as he could holloa, when fortunately a constable came up and 'took the prisoner off him. He then got up and Found that his watchguard was broken, though It had been perfect just before the prisoner's attack. The prosecutor further stated that before he got opposite to his own house he found the prisoner pressing closely upon him, and he in consequence buttoned up his coat, bnt the prisoner unbuttoned it. He buttoned it up a second time, and had not proceeded many paces further when the prisoner, as he had before stated, struck him. t'he two black eyes, the cut lips, and the several other outs and bruises on his face, were all tho effects of the prisoner's violence. Mr. Thomas Henry Evans, the landlord of the Black Prince public-house, in Princes-read, Kennington, de posed that the prosecutor and prisoner came into his ot,use together on the preceding night, at about a quarter-past 12 o'clock, and appeared to be excellent friends, and drank together. They remained at his house about a quarter of an hour, and while there the prisoner kept drawing out a watch from his pocket, which he partly displayed to the prosecutor, and said once or twice he had that to fall back upon if he should be out of work. Police-constable Samuel Clerk, 14 L, said that about a quarter before one o'clock that morning he heard a cry of " Murder," and on running to the spot whence it proceeded, he saw the prisoner rise from off the prose cutor, who was calling " Murder." The prosecutor in stantly gave charge of the prisoner for assaulting and attempting to rob him of his watch. The prisoner re plied, " What me ? I only came to see you home." And the prosecutor said, " Yes, you vagabond 1 and to rob me." The prosecutor, who was intoxicated, was bleeding profusely from the face, and the prisoner had also evidently been drinking, but pretended to be worse for liquor than ho really was. On searching the pri soner at the station•house he found upon his person, with some other things, a " sham" catch, which he then produced. He also found, where the prosecutor had been knocked down, a watch key belonging to Mr. Calton, and which had been torn away from the watch guard chain. This witness added that the prosecutor was to severely cut and bruised that it was found neces sary to send for a surgeon to attend him at the station house. Charles Burgess Goff, a police -sergeant, 9 L, said he was present at the Surrey Assizes, Kingston, in March, 1845, and heard the prisoner convicted of stealing a copper, and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. The prisoner had also been frequently in custody for other charges, and when the present case was dis posed of, he (Sergeant Goff) should request his wor ship to order his being brought up on a future day, as he had no doubt, from information which had reached him, that he was concerned in a daring burglary a few nights ago, and of being able to establish that charge against him. The prisoner, in reply to the charge of assault and attempted robbery, said he did not intend to rob the pro secutor, and that he should not have assaulted him had he not been drinking, He was fully committed on the charge, but ordered to be brought up again on that day week to meet the charge of burglary. IRELAND. DUBLIN, SEPT. 30.—The progress of discontent has ended in bloodshed, and serious riots have taken place at Dungarvan, in the course of which the military fired on the people. The following particulars are extracted from a letter received to-day by the correspondent of a London morning journal : " Dungarvan, Tuesday Evening. " Serious riots, I grieve to say, have taken place in this town. Yesterday vast numbers of people, to the amount of eleven or twelve thousand, marched in here from the surrounding country, and proceeded to attack bakers' shops, from which they took quantities of bread. The mob were about to attack the stores of merchants and others, but, fortunately, a troop of Dragoons, which had been ordered in consequence of the apprehension of riots, arrived from Kilmacthomas, and, with the co operation of the military force already here, pre vented further depredations. In the afternoon, how ever, in the dusk of the evening, some of the popu lace commenced throwing stones, and the Dragoons had to charge them repeatedly. The people, however, still continued throwing stones, and the state of affairs began to look very serious. The Dragoons were then ordered to fire, and it is stated about twenty shots were discharged. Two men were seriously wounded. They are still living; but several others, it is feared, were wounded more or less severely amongst the crowd, who fled subsequently to the firing. The town has been since perfectly free from all disturb ance; but dreadful excitement and alarm prevail amongst all classes here. It was owing to the commendable for bearance of the military that much more disastrous re sults did not ensue. " The shipping of grain from this port to Liverpool had been suspended, owing to reports that the fishing boats prevent any vessels from exporting food; but one of the merchants is now about to dispatch a vessel with wheat. "So far as I can learn, those riots are attributable to discontent amongst the peasantry as to the amount of wages on the public works—no definite sum having been fixed as yet. In the first instance, eigbtpence a day was offered, but the people refused that rate as utterly in sufficient. Tenpence was then offered, but also refused. In the course of yesterday a written paper was handed from the people to the magistrates, requiring that their wages should be one shilling per day, and that they should be supplied with Indian meal at a corresponding price by the stone, to enable them to give sustenance to their families. My own impression is, that if those terms are complied with we shall have no further dis turbances." MEASURES OF RELIEF. Amidst a host of letters which appear day after day in the public prints upon the all-engrossing topic of the Labour-rate Act, as applicable to the present crisis, the following extract from a communication, bearing the signature of " A Member of the Legislature," and pub lished in the l►lail of this evening, is, perhaps, worthy of notice, as the writer starts some suggestions which have at least the advantage of originality to distinguish them from the general run of essays upon the same subject ' 1 Tax Ireland on the principle of the Ist of Victoria, viz., by granting her as a gift one-half the sum reqaired, and charge Ireland with the other half. Expend these moneys by improving the country and the land. Let it be tone by the parishes or townlands which pay the tax, receiving the benefit of it, according very much to Mr. Monsell s system. Aid railways which can give security, and thus relieve the districts through which they will pass. Cut down no more paltry hills; demoralise the labourers no further ; improve the land at present in tillage be fore you undertake the drainage of vast bogs and the reclamation of mountains, which will consume years be fore they give a return ; drairk what you have in hand ; liberate estates from entails ; pass an Act to determine titles to estates, and no longer allow lawyers and attor neys to fatten, while, by quirks and chicane, they pre vent the transfer of property, and the advances of money on good security. The repeal of the usury laws should be considered; that Act has created hordes of great and small blood-suckers, who are consuming the vitals of the land. Tax all persons, having charges on the land, on the same principle as the income-tax. • " Prevent, by a simple Act, the subdivision of land, which is the foundation of the misery of Ireland. I re gret to say, I am convinced that, until the priests are paid, you cannot effect this object. Their power and their interest is hourly exercised to subdivide the land for their own emolument. To what a condition has this system brought the country! However unpalatable, this is a truism. Stop perjury, as Lord Westmeath says, in the courts, by appointing officers to take down evidence, and prosecute when necessary. " I should wish to see agricultural schools established, by grand jury taxation, in every barony. I firmly be lieve they would be essentially reproductive, by instruct ing the farmers. Enable land owners , by loans, to do more than merely drain—enable them to erect sound dwellings and offices for the tenantry, which the late Drainage Act does not comprehend, and thus improve the habits of the people. Establish at once depots of Indian corn all over the country as soon as possible —no time is to be lost. " So much for the present moment ; for the future I respectfully recommend emigration. The potato, as a food, I consider is lost ; it will take five years before a substitute can be found, and generally used. We have, therefore; to provide, to a great extent, food for the people for five years. It would be truly advantageous to expend a considerable portion of the taxation you are about to impose, and must inflict, on a comprehensive system of emigration ; thus you relieve the land of its superabundant population, and probably place the pea santry who emigrate in a far superior p position th an t h e y could ever expect at ho me . The expense of feeding them for five years would be greater than finding them the means of emigrating ;—a family can b e l oca t e d i n a colony for 451. ; you coud not feed the same family for that sum, under existing circumstances." A baronial sessions was held in Birr on Monday last, at which the Earl of Bosse presided, and delivered an txtremely sensible speech upon the working of the Labour-rate Act, expressing his determination to see it carried out both in the letter and spirit of its provisions. His Lordship also took occasion to dissent from the statements put forward by the gentry of Cork with re spect to the embarrassed position of the landed pro prietors. The Noble Earl's words are " There have been one or two meetings held in Cork lately, at which there had been said, in ray opinion, I respectfully say, a great deal foolishly. I don't think that the present position of the landed proprietors of Ireland has one iota to do with the practical operation of this Act. I can say, with respect to this barony and county, that 20 or 30 years ago there was a larger amount of encumbered property in it than there is at present, and which has passed into other hands since then. . . . . . . . I am sure that this barony is as well able to bear taxa tion as any other county or barony in Ireland. But we should see the tendency to which this Act leads —we should all exert ourselves to have some return of useful public and productive work for tkis money which we will thus expend. In certain districts in England the Labour-rate Act was practically in force for a consider able time. The old English Poor Law, as it existed 15 years ago in several localities in that country, but par ticularly in Sussex, was made so as tl be a Labour rate Act, similar to this: Act, but different from it in this respect, that this Act is temporary in its na ture, whereas the other could b e k e pt i n f orce for any number of years.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) And what was the fact ? There was no parish in England where it was in operation but was greatly impoverished by it ; each year became worse and worse through its means ; and in various places many persons were found to be in a state of bankruptcy by its operations.—(Hear, hear.) Now,lsay that the result of the operation of the Labour rate Act in England bears sufficient testimony to the course that we ought to pursue in reference to employ ing the funds raised for the employment of the people on works of public utility, and, if that be not done, I verily believe that many parishes in Ireland must very soon be inevitably brought to the same condition as that parish in England which I have given you as an illustration." Of the reckless—but perhaps generous —manner in which money is voted away without regard to the future, the Mayo Constitution furnishes the following illustra tion, and this is by no means a solitary case " Let us now sum pp the confiscations that have taken place in this country, and we venture to say that any thing so monstrous—so uncalled for—has not been per petrated in any other part of the kingdom : Ordnance Valuation.

The Northern Whig has the following unsatisfactory report " For some time the state of trade has been such, that the mill-owners of Belfast have felt that they would most probably be under the necessity of working short time ; and we are sorry we have now to state that a re solution to that effect has been come to. It was pro posed to reduce the time one- half ; but, from an anxiety for the workers, it was finally determined to work two thirds of the usual time ; this change to commence in the beginning of November. It is with pain, for the sake of the large body of workers concerned, that we make this announcement ; but we believe the step taken to be one of necessary caution. It is understood that the Drogheda mill•owners, also, are, or will soon be, on short time." 113,4 100 WILLS. ----- THE WILL OF THE HON. MR. JUSTICE WILLIAMS.— The late Sir John Williams, Knight, one of her Majes ty's Justices of the Court of Queen's Bench, had settled on his wife at marriage a sum of 40,0001., and, as she is the survivor, and there is no issue, the same will be at her disposal by deed or will, The trustees, under the settlement, were Lord Brougham, the late Lord Abinger, and the late Sir Robert Wilmot Horton. With a por tion of that sum was purchased the estate of Dowsby Hall, Lincoln, producing a rental of 1,200/. a-year, and the other p or ti on i nves t e d i n the - funds. By his will he directs that his executors shall secure to her an income of not less than 2,000/. a y ear. Devises and bequeaths all his real estate, and the residue of his personal estate, to trustees and executers, to convert the personalty into money, and invest the same, on good security. The funded and personal property was valued for duty at 25,000 L; the real estate is not to be sold during the life-time of Lady Williams. Bequeaths to her the house in Grosvenor-square as a residence, and leaves her all his furniture, plate, pic tures, and books (except law books), also the car. riages, horses, &c., and a portion of the residue—the whole being divided into thirty-seven parts. Six parts to Lady Williams, six to Captain A. Jones, four to the Captain's brothers and sisters, four to John Richard son, Esq., four to Mr. Smith, of Altree, four to Mr. Mortimer, three to the children of the late Rev. F. Howes, of Norwich, two to the Rev. Dr. Lally, two to his bro ther Edmund Lally, Esq., and two to such of testa tor's cousins, the Miss Bennions, as are living. There are specific pecuniary bequests, viz., to his executors, John Palfrey Burrell, Esq., of Gray's Inn, 1,000/.; and Peter Bellinger Brodie, Esq., of Lincoln's Inn-fields, 5001.; to his godson, Lord Gifford, 500/4 the Rev. J. Bolden, 5007.; Mr. Edward Brady, 3001.; Mrs. Archer, 3001.; his clerk, 1001.; his groom ' 50/. This Learned Judge died at his seat, Livermore Park, Suffolk, on the 14th of September, at the age of 70, having executed his will only a fortnight before his death. Sir Charles Wetherell's personal estate has just been administered to by Lady Wetherell, and a stamp duty paid on 250,000/. The late John Bostock, M.D., of Bedford-place, Bloomsbury, who died on the 6th of August, left personal property amounting to 25,000/. He executed his will in 1844, to which is appended two codicils, wherein he pro vides for an annuity of 5001. to his wife, and, on her decease, leaves 4,0001. to his daughter, and has left to each a legacy. Devises his real estate to his son, John Ashton Bostock, Esq., to whom he also leaves the residue of the personal estate, and is the acting executor. Captain Sir Spencer Lambert Hunter Vassal', R.N., K.H., late of Hyde Park-gardens, made his will about three weeks before his death, in words to this effect—" I give and bequeath all my money and other personal pro perty to my dear wife, and appoint her and my brother, Major R. Vassal), executors of my will, and refer them for directions respecting my affairs to a paper of memo randums." These memorandums, containing many specific bequests, were not entitled to probate, being made subsequent to the will, and unattested. George Alexander, M.D., formerly in the service of the Honourable East India Company, afterwards of Temple House, Hammersmith, and late of Sussex terrace, Hyde Park, has devised his messuage at Southampton, called " Woodbine Cottage," and the farms and land called " Gibbs," and all other real estate to his son, Harvey Alexander ; bequeathi the sum of 53,000 sicca rupees standing in his name in the East India Company's books, in trust, so as to produce certain annuities payable to his wife, his two sons, and two daughters, and the principal thereof to be at their separate disposal by will; also annuities to his sisters, Mrs. Angus and Mrs. Watson, for specific pur poses. All medical books to his nephew Alexander Angus, M.R.C.S., in London. Leaves the furniture, plate, &c., to his wife absolutely, together with the residue o the personal estate. He died at the age of sixty-nine, on the 4th of August last. The late Mr. Daniel Haigh, of Furzedown, Streatham, Surrey, died intestate and a widower, leaving funded and personal property amounting to 350,0001. His son, William Haigh, Esq., has just administered to his effects. Sir Themes Grey, Knt., M.D., F.R.S., late of Rams gate, and many years a magistrate of the county of Kent, and the Cinque Ports, has bequeathed the whole of his real and personal estate to the daughter of his late wife, Lady Katherine Grey, by her former husband, subject to the payment of legacies and annuities to his servants.

Now that the lOyal Family, like the Spectre of Otranto, is becoming too large fo; its habitation, it is certain that the palace, somehow, must be applied to another than its present purpose. It may be a very good plan to render that building, which can no longer e f e a i r e n n i e s e h a bu nursery uwrseertyhintko we ro can suggest a yalty,anursery, of art and better. Why should not the royal ledging, when vacated, be made to contribute to the payment of the expenses of building another ? Let the different apartments in the palace out to the different metropolitan exhibitionists. The Industrious Fleas might be established in the Green Drawing-room; Miss Linwood's Exhibition might be transferred to the Picture Gallery; the Banqueting room might be tenanted by the Speaking Automaton ; the Th rone - room m i g ht receive Madam e T ussaud ' s Collection, and the Fourth George, resuming his seat, would look in his robes, as large and natural as life. The Halt Of Buckingham might be convert e d i nto the Hall of Rome, whilst the private apartments might be appropriately taken possession of by Tom Thumb. Thus might this edifice, which is at present neither ornamental nor useful, at all events acquire a title to the latter epithet. So much for Buckingham—Palace I —Punch. A HEAVY WEIGHT.—On Tuesday evening last, the celebrated " stout Mrs. Armitage, who had been for some time exhibited here, was desirous to change her locality to Glasgow, and found her way for that purpose to the terminus at flay W e i g h ts; b ut none of the railway carriages were found sufficiently capacious to admit her great bulk; and after some consultation among the officials here it was found necessary, as the only alternative left, to put up a horse-box for the con: veyance of the nearly 32 stone weight female, in which we understand she got safely and comfortable to the " west of the city."—Caledonian Mercury. Dispatches from the Governor of Canada were re ceived yesterday at the Colonial-office.
