On Thursday morning Mr. George Child, the super intendent of the Gravesend and Rochester Railway, put a period to his existence by hanging himself, at his re sidence, near the Rochester terminus. The melancholy end of this universally-respected individual has spread a deep gloom not only among a large circle of friends, but among the public also to whom he was generally known. Deceased has left a wife and seven children. An in quest was held the same afternoon, at the Watermill Tavern, Stroud, by Mr. James Lewis, Coroner for Ro chester, when the following evidence was adduced : Mr. Henry Child, son of the deceased, was first ex amined. He said his father was 48 years of age. He was superintendent of the Gravesend and Rochester Railway. Witness is ticket-clerk in the establishment. His father went to bed as usual last night with his mo ther; she got up between three and four o'clock, and called witness to remain with his father, as he was so much excited. His father then walked up and down the room in his night clothes, as he was accustomed to do when his mind was much engaged. He said he was anxious about business, and wished he was not so ex citable; this was about four o'clock. He said he did not know what he should do; there was this and that to do, and he did not know how he should do it. He had been to London yesterday, to the office of the South- Eastern Company, and returned excited. His father told him the appointment was all right; but the inter view had been productive of great nervous excitement. After having paced the room for about ten minutes he returned to his bed, and fell asleep. Witness left his father's room about a quarter to seven, and he then ap peared to be asleep. Half an hour afterwards his little sister called upon him at the office, and told him that her father had hung himself. On going to the house he found his father suspended by a silk handker chief from the curtain-rod of the bed; he was then taken down, and a surgeon sent for. After wit ness had left his father, he understood that he came into witness's bed-room, and inquired for him of his brother John, who was hardly awake at the time, and he imme diately left the room. Had witness remained at home he had no doubt he might have been the cause of pre venting his destroying himself. He was constitutionally excitable, and a little sleep was always productive of a favourable change. He returned from London last night at half-past nine, and wrote a letter, which was posted as usual, and he then observed nothing particu larly the matter with him, except that he fancied the next duties of his office would be heavier than hereto fore. Ile has made a great anxiety of business for some time past, but more so within the last three days, so much so as to interfere with his proper rest. The witness then handed the following letter to the coroner, written to deceased by Mr. F. Collier, the secre tary to the company, which was read to the jury.— " Broad-street, London, Sept., 1846. "My dear Sir,—l am quite sorry to see you in such poor spirits. lam sure the new arrangements will neither interfere with your interests or your comfort, and anything I can do to promote these coils will give me pleasure."

Recently considerable attention has existed regarding the fate of the Elizabeth and Sarah emigrant ship, which has been reported at Lloyd's as having been nearly wrecked, twice or thrice, while on her outward passage to North America, with three hundred Irish emi grants. Since the last notice published, announcing the vessel being stranded on the island of St. Peter's, south of Newfoundland, letters have been re ceived communicating the fact of her having been got off, and her arrival at Basque Island, with a frightful fever raging on board, to which the captain of the Eli zabeth and Sarah, Mr. Simpson, and no fewer than twenty-three passengers, had fallen a sacrifice. The unfortunate commander was, we understand, the sole owner of the vessel, arid in consequence of his death there is little probability of an inquiry being instituted into the alleged charges as to the condition of the ship and the stores with which she was provided. From all the accounts received we extract the following : " The ship sailed from Killala on May 26, twenty four days after the day advertised, and the time the emi grants had come on board. The original number of emigrants she was to carry was fixed at 218, but the number in her when she sailed proved far greater, amounting to 280, besides the crew, and the accommo dation provided on board consisted only of thirty-two berths. Owing to the great length of time before she sailed, most of the emigrants had consumed a large quantity of their stores, and by the time the vessel had reached half way to her destination her position was most deplorable, subsisting on short allowance, and many with scarcely any. What was worse, the water had from some cause become putrid. At the time of the ship running ashore on St. Peter's Island, the captain had au attack of fever, which soon carried him off, and many of the passengers expired from the same disease. The bodies of the passengers were immediately com mitted to the deep, but that of the captain was kept on deck for thirteen days, until the ship arrived at Basque Island. As may be supposed, it was in a shocking state of decomposition. In the meanwhile twenty deaths had occurred, and the illness that prevailed in the ship was truly frightful. On the vessel reaching Basque Island, the unhappy creatures received every attention from Mr. Webb, the mate of the Liverpool, wrecked on the island, who took immediate steps to convey information of the dreadful condition of the emigrants to the Government emigrant agent at Quebec, where they arrived on the seventy-second day after their departure from Killala. Twelve more deaths took place ere the ship dropped anchor, and a vast number of the emigrants continued in a dangerous condition up to the time of these accounts being sent off.- The state of the ship when it arrived is described to have been most disgusting. She was only 330 tons burthen, and was entitled to carry no more than 155 adult passengers. She had 87 beyond her complement." TIIE REGISTRATIONS. CITY OF LONDON. Yesterday Mr. Arnold, after revising the house holders' list for the only remaining parish in Bread street ward—St. Thomas Apostle—proceeded with the lists for the various parishes in the Bridge, Candlewick, and Walbrook wards. John Laing, a retired military officer, residing at the Terrace, Gravesend, had known Mr. Child for two years, and had, during that time, been on intimate terms with him. He was a man naturally of a very nervous tempe rament. Witness had observed for some time past that business seemed very much to trouble him. Witness considered his nervous system entirely shattered. Had seen him on Tuesday; he was then unusually excited. Mr. Broadbent, station-master on the line, was then examined. His testimony completely bore out the pre ceding eviJence. Witness had endeavoured to cheer him up ; he was very much excited on Saturda', but much worse yesterday on his way to London. Deceased shook hands with him as he left that morning, a thing he had never done bef►re. Witness detained him for about a minute, and advised him not to be so deponding, as things would be all right ; and deceased replied he would try and shake it off, observing that he knew it was very foolish in him to be so. Witness's opinion was that he destroyed himself through such excitement as to derange his mental faculties. Verdict—" That deceased destroyed himself in a fit of temporary insanity." During the day the lists for the parishes of St. Benet, Gracechurch-street; St: John Baptist, Lawrence Pount ney; St. Clement, Eastcheap; St. Leonard, Eastcheap; St. Magnus Martyr; St. Margaret, New Fish•street; St. Martin Orgar; St. Mary, Abchurcb; St. Mary, Bo thaw; St. Mary Woolchurch Haw, and St. Michael, Crooked-lane, were gone through. Mr. ARNOLD gave judgment in the case of Henry Prince, who claimed to be on the register for premises in the parish of Allhallows, Bread•street, and who was objected to by the Conservatives yesterday. It appeared that Mr. Prince had signed at the same time two claims to be rated, which had afterwards been served upon the overseers by Mr. Anne or his agents at different times. One claim was served during the currency of the rate which was in force when it was signed, and the other during the currency of a subsequent rate. The claims did not specify any particular rate upon which the claimant wished to be put, and they were not dated. DARING BURGLARY AT SOUTH LEMPRIERE'S DICTIONARY.

BIBLIOTHECA CLASSICA ; or, a Classical Dictionary, containing a copious account of all the proper names mentioned in ancient authors, by J. LEMPRIERE, D.D. London : William Tegg and Co., 73, Cheapside. Mr. ARNOLD said he had no hesitation in coming to the conclusion that a person might authorise an agent bond fide to see that he was rated to all rates, and to make the necessary claims on his behalf. A case came before him a few days since, in which it appeared that the printed form of claim had been signed before it was filled, and he held that the claim was insufficient. In that case, however, the person did not seem to hare known what he was doing, or that he was signing a claim to he rated when he put his name to the form; but in the present instance the claimant seemed to have fully intended, when he signed the forms, that the claims should be made on his behalf. The case was not very clear; but as no question of tender had arisen, no rates having been due, and as the claimant had acted bond fide, he (Mr. Arnold) held that the claim was a good one, and allowed the vote. _ _ .

Horse-dealers attending fairs necessarily keep large sums of ready money in their possession, as the parties who committed this robbery were no doubt aware, if not of the fact that a considerable sum was to be found in the house in question. Mr. Pain, it appears, retired to rest at his usual time, and about two o'clock in the morning was alarmed by having the window of his room forced in, and six or eight men wearing masks and otherwise dis guised, entering the apartment. They told Mr. P., who is advanced in years, they did not want to hurt him, but they would have his money, on which he got up and went down stairs, followed by several of the men across the taproom to another staircase, leading to the room of Mr. Georgo Smith, his grandson, in the front of the other end of the house. Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Horsley, Mr. P.'s daughters, who slept in the adjoining room, entreated them not to hurt their father, promising, if they did not, to show them where the money was. The villains then rifled their pockets of the contents ; but they did not take a gold watch and various articles of jewellery belonging to Mrs. Smith. They next went to Mr. Smith's (the grandson) room, and called him by name, and, drawing the curtains round his bed, told him if he did not lie quietly they would kill him. They then returned to Mr. Pain's room, where, during his absence, most of the gang had been ransacking his drawers, as the contents were strewed about. From a strong chest, which they broke open, they took a small iron box away with them, containing 174/. in 10/. and 51. bank-notes and sovereigns, a canvas bag with eleven sovereigns, thirty-three old guineas, a number of docu ments, &c. They all appeared well-dressed slightly made young men ; some of them wore Newmarket-cut coats, and one of them had crape on his hat. They had lights with them, several lucifer-matches, and a piece of candle was picked up by Mr. Coulson, superintendent of police at Brentwood, to whom, as soon as the alarm was over, information was conveyed. Mr. Coulson immedi ately went to the railway station, and information was forwarded per telegraph to the different stations down the line, and to London, answer being returned in half a minute, acknowledging that the information was understood. The thieves left behind a short ladder and a black-glazed calico pocket torn from a great coat, and in which holes had been made to see thrcugh. It is conciuded that they cut their bands with the window glass, some blood being found sprinkled about the room, and one of the men cut his throat with the glass in break ing in, as Mrs. Horsley states that she saw a wound, and the party took a shirt from her box, belonging to Mr. H., which he bound round it, and took away with him. Mrs. Smith went to the window to give an alarm, when two stones were thrown, but fortunately both missed her. Information of the robbery has been conveyed to all the police-stations, and it would seem scarcely pos sible, where so many are concerned, that they should all escape detection. There is no doubt the men who com mitted the robbery are regular " cracksmen." They told Smith that they would not hurt him, and that was " every-day work with them." Charles Saggers, a lad, grandson of Mr. Pain, was sleeping with Smith, and on hearing the noise crept under the bed, and drew his clothes with him ; he had twenty shillings in his pocket, which they did not discover, nor did they find him either. When they were leaving th premises, Mr. Pain, like an " old brick," said to thFm that, as they had not hurt any one, they had better stop and take something to eat and drink ; but this they politely de clined, remarking that they had got what they wanted —that they came after money, and had obtained it. One of them, who cut his hands in getting through the win dow, held Mrs. Smith against the wall whilst the others were searching for the cash, and the wound bled upon her night clothes. There were six fellows in the house, and Mrs. S. saw two or three others outside. The im plements used were jemmies, quite new and bright, with which they wrenched the doors andlocks open.—Chelms ford Chronicle.

The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts, The advantages resulting from the invention are various and strikn. Inde pendently of a savi ng o f 3 0 to 60 per cent„ the corn hithebestien Is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light steadily rto di scevered. It emit s neither smell nor smoke, and burns for any period ; and such is Its purity, that it neither affects nr Soils the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have liaado to the introduction of gas in dwelling-houses, to the expense of fittings, to its destruction of ftuniture, draperies, gold moulding, kc. ; these are entirely obviated by the "PATENT UNIVERSAL GA. Ituzziwa." As the cost of laying on gas is muck lower than is cora l:140111y supposed, it is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for club-houses, hotels, manufactories, and public buildings. One of the small burners is amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a sum immeasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of Waste Or trouble. The merits of the " Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing every ether known light, are shown by the annexed authentic °Pinions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER. Entreat from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Tuesday, 26th May, 1846, Si r JOHN RINNIE, President, in the Chair. gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited. The Principal novelty was the introduction of a stream of air to the centre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner. The air passing up through the hollow stern of the button, was heat ed, and passed out b forcerwo series of fire-holes around the erihery, and impinging with n o the flame of the ga s curve d it p out p wards in the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with the carburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very perfect combustion, The name was quite white down the top of the barner, was very steady, as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution, Where these burners have been used. In comparing the consumption of these burners with that of the concentric ring burners, and trying the power of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a betteril ght, with a saying of rather more than one-third."

The consternation which the occurrence excited in the neighbourhood can be imagined only by those who have been wit nesses to similar scenes of distress. Steps were promptly taken by the persons connected with the management for recovering the bodies, and in the course of the morning those of one man and the boy were got out. The remains of the other four men were not recovered until about five o'clock on Monday even ing. The explosion cannot, under the circumstances, be easily accounted for; but without desiring heedlessly to impute blame in any quarter, or to anticipate the re sult of the inquiry which we understand has been insti tuted under judicial authority, we may state that the common impression amongst the mining population of Rutherglen and the neighbourhood was, that the disaster had been caused by a trap-door, connected with the ventilation, having been left open when it ought to have been shut, in consequence of which the gas had been concentrated, and rendered peculiarly liable to ipition on the contact of flame.—Glasgow Chronicle.

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING S NY OCTOBER 3, 1846. IRELAND. DUBLIN, OCT. I.—There are additional accounts in town to-day of the very serious collision at Dungarvan between the military and the country people. One of the wounded has since died from the effects of the in juries he received iu the unhappy affray. The sub joined version of the outbreak is from the Waterford Chronicle : " DUNGARVAN, MONDAY NIGHT, SEPT, 28.—About 12 o'clock the square and streets began partially to fill with people, and at half-past 1 a body of labourers from Old Parish, Ardmore, and Clashmore, to the number of something near 700, entered the square. and marched in procession down the quay and towards Mr. Flood's store, where they cautioned him against shipping any corn. Thence they proceeded towards the square, but on their way to the main street they were invited by a baker to partake of what bread he had in his shOp. This th , y refused, and said they only wanted employment and a proper rate of wages. They then scattered through the streets and square, which were almost inaccessible, so crowded were they. In the meantime a few mounted police ,were passing to and fro amongst the people. Police from several stations were placed at the Court house doors. " At three o'clock Mr. P. C. Howley, resident magis trate, arrived from ICilmacthomas, where he was attend ing the extraordinary presentment sessions, with about 40 Dragoons of the Ist Royals. They proceeded to wards the lower part of the quay, where the labourers had re-assembled, when Mr. Howley addressed them. He told them that whatever they wanted to put it on paper, in a respectful manner, and that he would trans mit it for them to Government. " About half-past three the crowds became very much excited. They went to Mr. Roger Baker's, Morgan's, Williams and Fisher's bread .hops, when the military interfered, and the police arrested two men whom they considered to be the leaders, and lodged theta in Bride well. "At four o'clock a most formidable reinforcement of labourers was seen entering the town by William-street, which caused the military to put themselves in the most effective position of defence their skill could suggest. The town was then literally black with people. There was nothing that might be called an outrage committed up to this time (half-past four) when an ingenious and sensible friend to the public peace as well as the people, Mr. James Byrne, of William-street, suggested to the labourers the propriety of acting upon 111 r. Howley's advice, to put their grievances on paper, and hand it to him, which they did, and a document was presented to the magistrates by a select number deputed by the en tire of the body present, setting forward their distress, and asking for work at 6d. a day. " On this being presented to Mr. Howley, who read it —Mr. R. Longan, Mr. B. Boate, and Sir N. Humble, justices of the peace, being present—he said that nothing could be fairer ; that ho would transmit it to the Go vernment at once, and he and every gentleman present would back it and represent things as they said there ; and that he would be candid with them, and show them the answer the Government would send him. Each of the other magistrates concurred in that which Mr. Howley stated. They then insisted that he should liberate the prisoners taken in the earlier part of the day. To this Mr. Howley replied, that on that head he could make no terms with them ; on hearing which, the majority of the labourers went home. There were a great number of ill-disposed persons, amongst whom th e greatest excitement began to be manifested in conse quence of Mr. Howley's refusal. Meantime the Res- - Mr. O'Gorman came up, and took upon himself to pro mise the people, that if they quietly dispersed, the per sons would be liberated on the following morning. This did not apparently satisfy them. One misguidd man in the crowd was seen by a policeman to stoop ter a stone. Sub-inspector Rooney arrested him, and, while handcuffing him, a shower of stones was thrown at the policeman, when the Dragoons charged the crowd through the square, making them fly in all directions. It was now getting dark, and jest before the moon rose, when the authorities resolved on clearing the town of the crowds which were remaining about the square and streets, without any apparent object. They got the crowds before them up William-street, and quietly dr.ve them before them. When coming near Carrol's public house, in the vicinity of the Christian Schools, a fearful shower of stones were thrown at the Dragoons. Mr. h them,e ta the re ciie 1 ied shoulder.ya, wh blow T o hofe rode sat ntuoepn stone h o t e i thrown the crowd the nebwn acatanons and anot her byadis s charge of muskets from the Dragoons—another shower of st mes, and a more fearful repetition of the muskets—in all about 26 shots. There were a great many received flesh wounds. Two received what the medical gentle man pronounced to be mortal. One of them had his thigh, just above the knee joint, shattere 1 in pieces; the other received a bullet through the upper part of his thigh, which passed through the scrotum, lacerating it fearfully, and coming out at the other thigh. • " Both the unfortunate men were immediately taken to the poorhouse; on entering which they were treated in the liliul.ct manner by Mr W. 1.11, tue mcdiately surgeon Christian, the doctor to the establish ment, was in attendance, and did all that medical skill could for the two men. " Thus ended this day—a sad one to many. " The town throughout the day wore the most ex cited appearance. Mr. Howley's task was a most try ing one, and well did he discharge it. I am bound to speak from observation, and my duty compels me to state, that if we were aided by a few influential men from Dungarvan and the surrounding localities, the sad catastrophe with which the day was terminated would not have taken place. " TUESDAY MORNING.—One of the men wounded yesterday died this morning." Some additional particulars are given in the following account from another Waterford paper. " At an early hour on Monday morning it was per ceived that hundreds—nay, thousands, of person from the different localities were pouring into the town, and the fishermen having remained from sea (although the weather proved quite favourable for their going out) caused great apprehensions on the part of the inhabi tants that some outbreak or outrage was about to be committed. A strong detachment of police and military were immediately placed under arms—the former at the court-house, and the latter at the barracks. This pre caution was deemed necessary, in consequence of reports being circulated very generally that a large body of the peasantry intended to come into Dungarvan in the course of the day, to prevent, by a public demonstration, the shipping of corn for England. Groups of the unem ployed labourers congregated together in various parts of the town, which were considerably increased as the day advanced. About one o'clock a large concourse of the populace, amounting to over one thousand persons, pro ceeded to the stores of Mr. Flood, agent to a Liverpool house, who was about to ship corn, butter, &c., warn ing him on no account to do so. They then proceeded to the concerns of Messrs. P. Dower and Son, who hold a quantity of Indian meal, using the same language, and declaring they should be either employ e d o r f e d, o f which one of the firm, Mr. J. Dower, said he perfectly concurred, but said the line of conduct they were pur suing would only mar any substantial good being done for them, and probably lives might be lost. After a good deal of remonstrance on the part of Mr. Dower, they departed. " They proceeded up Carbery's-lane, and then west ward through the main street towards the square, and called at several bakers' shops, where they got bread. They again congregated in the square, and their number at this time was considerably increased, and from the demonstration that was made the shops were closed, and the police and military called out. This state of ex citement continued some time, when a great number of the populace proceeded to the house of Mr. Fisher, baker, where they were refused bread, whereupon they rushed into the shop, and were in the act of possessing themselves of its contents, when the police and military, headed by Mr. Howley, stipendiary magistrate, proceeded immediately to protect Mr. Fisher's property. A short time previous to this occurrence the police and military were reinforced by the arrival from Kilmacthomas of a company of the Ist Royals, who imme diately assisted in quelling the disturbance. At this time the excitement was very great—the Riot Act was read, and almost every shop in the town closed. Mr. Howley in the kindest manner remonstrated with the hunger-stricken thousands on the imprudence of their proceedings, and advised them to return to their re sidences. He assured them that the Government would do everything that lay in their power to alleviate their distresp, and procure employment for them. This ad vice had a good effect, and the unfortunates whom he addressed appeared satisfied. After a short time the whole force took up their position again at the square. The police made several prisoners, and we are rejoiced to say that there was not the slightest attempt made to rescue any of them. We were informed that one of the men taken was identified as the person who struck Lord Stuart on Thursday. The town continued for about an hour in a tolerably tranquil state, when it was again disturbed by a cry that the Youghal people had arrived, as a reinforcement. This, of course, created a great consternation, and the appearance of great numbers near the chapel was calculated to impress any beholder with dread. The military remained at their post with the utmost coolness, and no other act being done by those assembled, the prowess of the soldiers was not then called into activity; however, they were kept under arms. "After six o'clock the magistrates deemed it prudent to disperse the crowds, who foolishly turned round on the troops and began pelting stones at them, when they were ordered to fire, and two men were seriously wounded—one, I am informed, mortally. " Billets were issued in the morning for the accom modation of the Ist Royals, but they were afterwards withdrawn in consequence of the commotion, and pro vided with stabling, &c., in one place, lest anything should occur during the night that would require them to be called out. "Yesterday the town continued quiet, and a strong additional body of military arrived to reinforce those already stationed here. " During the day we heard several of those poor fel lows say they were starving, and that they could not return home to their families without some food to sus tain life—that it would be better for them to be shot than to continue as they were." A letter dated Clown], Sept. 29, in the Cork Era mixer, stsys “ A mounted orderly galloped through this town at PRICE SD. seven o'clock this evening, on his way to the barracks and, onainquiry, I have Darned that he was the bearer of a requisition from the resident magistrate at Dun garvan to the commanding officer 'here, for a troop of Dragoons to proceed at once to that place. The letter further stated that a collision had taken place there be tween the military and the people, in which three of the latter were seriously wounded, one of whom died since. It appears that the people had openly expressed their determination to revenge this injury ; that they had dispersed for the purpose of collecting arms, with which they intended to attack the military this night, whose position is very critical, as their force is not sufficient to oppose the numbers of people who are ex pected to assemble. There is no disposable force here at present to forward, one of the treops of the Bth Hussars stationed here having 'marched to Carrick-on. Suir yesterday, in anticipation of an outbreak taking., place there. lam informed that the commanding-officer did not think it advisable to send the remaining troop, but he sent off an express to the colonel of the Bth Hus sars, at Cahir, for aid and advice; but as there is only one troop there at present, it is not likely that the colonel will send it, as by so doing he would leave that place defenceless. "If Government do net come forward speedily to the rescue of our famishing population, and adopt some de termined and energetic measures for affording them food and employment, it 'requires no prophetic spirit to tell the frightful calamity which will befal this unfortunate land and its degraded and impoverished people, mad dened as they are by hunger and despair; and should a famine outbreak take place, I doubt if England has a sufficient military force at her command to suppress it, as their operations will not be confined to one district or locality, but will require to be extended over the king dom at large. I am, therefore, satisfied that 60,000 men would not suffice for that purpose. Besides, flour and meal is more digestible food than iron or metal. It is, therefore, time not only for the Government but the landlords, merchants, and men of property in general, to be up and stirring in the cause of their suffering country men, if they have any desire to protect their properties, and preserve the peace of the country : " A troop of the Bth Hussars arrived yesterday in Clogheen, to relieve the Ist Royal Dragoons. This, being the only cavalry regiment in this neighbourhood, is very much harassed at present.._ THE IRISH GOVERNMENT. _ _ Mr. Redington,h: Under• Secretary, returned from London this morning, and scarcely had the Hon. Gen tleman set his foot within the Castle of Dublin, when rumours flew abroad to the effect that certain proposals which had been submitted by Lord Besborough, through Mr. Redington, to the Premier, having for their object the immediate application of a large sum of money towards the employment of the poor, had not met with the concurrence of Lord J. Russell. Accordingly the report was, that both the Lord Lieutenant and the Chief Secretary, conceiving that they were thus debarred from carrying out, in a comprehensive form, the Government measures of relief, had actually resigned their offices. Of course no very great credit is to be attached to this rumour, but this much is certain, that there is a "hitch" somewhere, which, however, may be got over without precipitating a resignation. Amongst the difficulties which beset the Irish Executive one is said to be that Sergeant Warren, one of the highest legal authorities in the kingdom, has given it as his opinion that no assess ment can be made on properties where landlords possess only a life interest in their estates, and that they cannot leave a charge on property so circumstanced to their suc cessors. The Attorney-General, it is added, does not concur in this opinion. Up to post-hour this afternoon, the Lord• Lieutenant and the Chief and Under• Secretaries remained in c 1( se conference. Nothing, therefore, certain is known—all is enveloped in mystery. THREATENED RISING NEAR CORK. The Corh Examiner a yesterday evening has the fol- lowing : " Information of an authentic nature reached the authorities of the city this morning, that a large multi tude of people were collecting at Carrignavar, as a centre, for the purpose of procet ding to Cork, to pillage the stores and shops containing provisions. " The chief magistrate immediately took due precau tions to prevent their approach. An arrangement was concerted with the commanding officer of the garrison, by which an adequate force is kept under arms, ready on the first intimation of the populace coming near the town to be posted at the different approaches, and dis perse them. " These people must be actuated by the greatest in fatuation to attempt to sack any portion of this city. In reference to the matter, we have received the following communications. " We received the following this morning from a city correspondent:— " EIGHT O'CLOCK, A.m.—l am just informed by a person from the place that the labourers from all the surrounding country, from Carrignavar to Ballyhooly, are assembling at Ballynerdan, near Dunbolg, and are L, • 1 r AO God grant there may be no outrage. They want em ployment, and that their miserable wages should be raised by the farmers from 6d. to Is. per da3:. " HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK, P.M.—I have just seen a man from Ballysierdane, where the meeting of labourers was to be held; he did not attach any importance to the movement, but heard their object was to proceed to Mr. Foley, at Middleton, Lord Middleton's agent, to try act procure em ploy ment.' " FOOD RIOTS IN SLIGO. _ _ _ A letter from Sligo, of Tuesday's date, which appears in the Evening Freeman, says— " The quiet of our town has at last been broken, and starvation is beginning to make itself manifest by out breaks. Yesterday evening the bread contracted for the poorhouse was taken possession of by a mob, and, after being divided, was immediately consumed. In dread of this occurring again, the bread for the same place was this morning guarded by the police. A large box of bread, belonging to Mr. Martin, was attacked this morn ing, and the mob, not finding it sufficient, compe]lt d the bakers of the town to supply them with food. Where this will end God only knows, All the meal in town being consumed, the people were in a dreadful way for the last few days. The Government have now resolved to supply biscuits at 10s. a cwt. This new move will commence to-day." A NATIONAL CONVENTION. _ . Mr. O'Connell's project of assembling together in the Irish metropolis a meeting of delegates from all parts of the kingdom, to devise measures, " in conjunction with the Government," to meet the present crisis in the affairs of the country, has found, amongst others, a warm sup porter in Mr. Ralph Osborne, M.P. Accordingly, that Hon. Gentleman has issued the following address to the landed proprietors of Ireland:— " September 30. ~~ '~l /v - ~~-.- am satisfied, thaTif—the Government had undertaken ► the task of supplying generally,_and on a great scale, the markets of Ireland, they w6Ol- - nniy—have vated - the evils which they desired to alleviate. It is obviously impossible, for any length of time, to maintain prices here at a lower level than prevails in the marketsof Englandand of the continent of Europe, with which there now exists an almost unrestricted trade ih the main articles of food ; and an attempt to do so must speedily recoil in increased scarcity and deranged mer. cantile transactions.. " These considerations will not preclude the Govern— ment from continuing to take such precautions as they may consider absolutely necessary with regard to the supply of food in particular districts of Ireland ; but our main reliance must be on private enterprise, eendnebed through the - ordinary transactions of trade, and any measures that have the affect of discouraging its exer tions must soon produce the most fatal consequences. " I have desired that a copy of your memorial should he transmitted to Sir Randolph Routh, the Commissary- General, who will be able to judge whether any special circumstances may require particular interference in your instance.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient "H.

Last week we gave an account of the vessels placed by the Admiralty at the di,posal of the Government for the relief of the distressed Irish. Mince then the Admi ralty have added to the former number the steam- vessels employed in the surveying service on the coasts of Eng land, Ireland, and Scotland, and have made such arrange ments for carrying into effect the propositions of the Government, that whilst the vessels will be employed in the conveyance of Indian corn, meal, and other provi sions, they will preserve their character and efficiency as men-of-war, and will thus be a l wa y s a t h an d t o a ssist the civil powers in preventing o u tb rea k, an d i n th e pro tection of life and property. The prompt manner in which so many vessels have been made available for the service required of them, affords a striking proof of the condition of our naval resources, and of the judicious application of them, without in any way distressing or interfering with the regular Admiralty service. were the surveying-vessels not required, very soon they would have been ordered into port to be laid up for the winter. As it is, the captains, commanders, and others specially engaged in the surveys will bring their drawings on shore, whilst their steamers will be more usefully em ployed than they have hitherto been. By the number of men-of-war steamers now available, the operations of relief can be extended to the western coast of Scotland, where the distress, it is reported, is pressing equally hard on the poor population. The Government victualling establishments are, we understand, to be set to work to grind corn and to menu facLure bread. Some of them are already hi active operation, grinding so many as 100 quarters a day. The following is a list of the men-of-war steamers employed in the above service on the coast of Ireland, together with the hulks fitted and being fitted for depots: MEN- 451F•WAR STEA.MERS.—The Stromboli, sloop, 280- horse power, Commander Fisher, employed on the general duties of the station. The Rhadamanthus, 220-horse power, Master-Com mander Aylen, employed in conveying meal to various parts of the coast, and in the movements of troops, when required. The Dee, 200-horse power, Master-Commander Driver, ditto, ditto. The Myrmidon, 150-horse power, Lieutenant-Com mander Jenkins; the Pluto, 100-horse power, Lieutenant- Commander Lowe, and the Alban, 120-horse power, being of smaller draught of water, are employed in the conveyance of the corn meal to the several ports from the larger ships, and also to places up the rivers to which the larger steamers could not proceed. The Swallow, 70-horse power, Master-Commander Bryant, tender to the depot ship Madagascar. in the Shannon. The Comet, 80-horse power, Lieutenant-Commander Johnstone, conveying specie for several ports in Ireland. The Tartarus, 136-horse power, Captain Wolfe, now surveying, to be employed in the general duties of the station. The Lucifer, ISO-horse power, Commander Frazer, now surveying the Saltees, between Wexford and Waterford, to be uppropriatt d to the general duties of the station. The Blazer, 120-horse power, Captain Washington, now surveying at klarwich, to be dispatched to Ireland immediately for the conveyance of provisions. The Dasher, 100-horse power, Captain Sherringham, now surveying the Southampton Waters, to be sent from Portsmouth to Ireland, immediately, tor the same purpose. STORESHIPS.—The Madagascar, 44-gun frigate, 1,100 tons, Master-Commander Burney, a depot vessel, moored at the island of Foynes, in the Shannon._ The Andromeda, a 44-gun frigate, 1,200 tons, Sting as a depOt at her Majesty's dock-yard, Devonport, and ready to receive the gear of the Madagascar, to be navi gated to Ireland. The Andromache, a 26-gun frigate, 700 tons, also fitting as a depot at Devonport, for Ireland. Thus we have twelve men-of-war steamers, of 1,756 collective horse power, 5,864 tons, and 720 (Accra and men, and shall have three depots of 3,000 tons and 100 men. The above, together with two ordnance lighters also employed, make 17 sail of nearly 9,000 tons and above 850 men, on the coast of Ireland. COAST OF SCOTLAND. On the west coast of Scotland, as the distress is not supposea to nave uccu xu vo.t, fewer vessels have beeen appropriated."' 'They are, how ever, the following :—The Firefly, 220-horse power, Captain Beechey, of late employed in surveying the Swilly rocks, and the Shearwater, 160-horse power, Commander Robinson, employed on the Scottish coast.

" Gentlemen,—However the great proportion of you may be disposed to slight any recommendations which emanate from Mr. O'Connell, depend on it some sug gestions he has thrown out, in his letter of the 25th ult., are well worthy of your consideration. Fas est ab hoste doceri. Mr. O'Connell suggests,—' That the landed pro prietors, instead of continuing their scattered and iso lated attempts to meet the coming mischief, should im mediately form a National Committee, to meet in Dub lin, and assist, at this disastrous moment, in the ma nagement of such Irish affairs as relate to the approach ing famine.' By the concluding paragraph, you will perceive that he does not contemplatb the mooting of any other abstract subject; in fact, all such questions as Repeal of the Union,' &c., must necessarily be laid aside at such a crisis as the present; the visitation of the Almighty has descended on all, without distinction of sect or party; let us, therefore, for once, throw all poli tical differences to the winds, and, by taking counsel to gether, endeavour at least to assuage the calamity which is impending. It is manifest the Government have been taken by surprise, and have failed to lay in such supplies of Indian meal as will be necessary to meet the emer gency, or to enact measures befitting the occasion. '" Chaos empire sits, And by decision more embroils the fray By which he reigns: next him, high arbiter, Chance governs all.' " The property of the landlords is a convenient stop gap ; accordingly, should the present system of the 10th Victoria continue, proprietors will eventually be reduced to break stones on the very roads which are about to be created by their own liberal contributions ; at least, it cannot be objected, that you have shown an ignorant impatience of taxation !' when one looks at the enormous amount of the various presentments. I would, there fore, humbly advise the proprietors of Ireland, great and small, to act on the suggestion of Mr. O'Connell, and that with as little delay as possible. Whilst I write, Indian meal, in many parts of the country, is selling at ls. 11d. per stone, being within a fraction double the price intimated by the Prime Minister and the Chan cellor of the Exchequer. The people of the county of Waterford, hitherto an orderly and well-conducted po pulation,.are inflamed against their best friends, and blood has been shed. A meeting of the landholders of Ireland, with the Duke of Leinster in the chair, would at once insure the respectful attention of Government, and the warm sympathy of the English people. " I am, with great respect, your obedient servant, " RALPH OSBORNE. Newtown-Anner, Clonmel." MARCH OF TROOPS FOR THE SOUTH. The 47th Regiment, at present forming part of this garrison, was placed under orders this day, to be in im mediate readiness to march to Youghal; unless counter manded in the meantime, the first division is to com mence its journey to-morrow morning. RELIEF OF THE POOR. The following communication from the Chief Score. tary has been received by the chairman of a Relie Committee in Cork ; ." Dublin Castle, September 21 " Sir, —I have.had the honour of receiving your letter of the 17th instant, and the copy of a resolution lately passed at a meeting of the West Muskerry Relief Com mittee, stating that since the Government had declared their intention of interfering as little as possible with the trade in provisions, except in special cases, the price of Indian meal had materially risen. I have sub mitted these documents to his Excellency the Lord- Lieutenant, as well as similar communications which I have received from other places. "I hope the memorialists will do me the justice to believe that I feel the mast sincere anxiety to mitigate, by all practicable and legitimate means, the pressure of the calamity that has befallen this country; but I THE NAVAL RETIREMENT. —In the scheme pro mulgated on the 31st of August by the present Board of Admiralty, it was intimated that officers not in Europe, who might be desirous of accepting the retirement, would not be excluded in consequence of their lettere( not reaching England before the I st inst., as reasonable time would - be allowed for such applications. Although the number fixed as the retired list (200) has, we believe, within a very few, been completed, the Board, acting with becoming good faith, have extended the period during which officers may intimate their desire of itc- . cepting the retirement to the I st of November; the re tired pay commencing from the Ist October, as originally intended. The scheme includes officers of fifty years of service.age, wh from o We e a nnooutnhdeslpotrhijnills-hinegaitthhe atere in terms are extension of time most liberal on the p art of the o c ff a r a e b d l e a n o t i f present Board of Admiralty , and we trust those for whom it is designed will avail thems elves of an arrange ment so honourable to them and doubly beneficial, as it will enable a younger and not le ss deserving set of men to be brought forward in our naval service.—Times. oo THE ARMY.—Colonel Boldero, an old Waterl.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROP£4.—The weather h as altogether changed during the past ten days — rain has been very plentiful. The hopes that we al luded to last week and the week previous, of the sup plementary crop of potatoes, continue to be indulged c in even here, wh ere th e disease was soonest observed, a in h and where it s ravages have been the most extensive In the t neighbourhood nortofit,it i Huntley, s and calculated othertat about die* i one-third will be saved. The threatened disease in the turnip crop is fast disappearing. There are, in general, not more turnips found irremediably injured than in ordinary years. The disease is said to have been nothing more than a mildew or rust, that covered and discoloured the leaves, preventing them from exercising their functions, and thus stopping the growth of the plants. The same disease was apparent in 1826. Al most all traces of it are said to have vanished after the late rains, and it is expected that the crop will yet recover. The grain is very high at present. The millers have none in their possession, as the farmers have pas ture in great plenty, even as much as in the mouth of June, and, of course, standing in no need of fodder, are not inclined to thrash out any portion of their crop. It is, however, hardly expected that the_present prices will be long m aintained.—Aberdeen ~~.~~~ ~_ /~ --. 1 _ , - 'CA' Nib ......- .. :,.........r ....: i 4.1,-; .. , . . . ..?": 'E A ' ' •4.

Late on Thursday evening, Mr. Carter, the coroner for the eastern division of Surrey, held an inquest upon the body of John Turner Truman, aged 68, a major general in the East India service, who had expired sud denly at his residence on Wimbledon-common. The inquiry took place at the deceased gentleman's mansion, and the jury was principally composed of the resident gentry. Major Oliphant, one of the directors of the East India Company, and son-in-law of the deceased, was present. Thomas Turner deposed that he was footman to de ceased, who was a widower. His master had, until within a very recent period of his decease, enjoyed very excellent health. On Wednesday night, about ten o'clock, he was heard walking about his bed-room, and groaning. This induced witness and the housemaid to go up to the general. They found him lying on the bed, dressed, with the exception of his coat. He appeared to be very ill, and complained of a great pain at the chest. He desired witness to call in Major Oliphant directly, and witness did so. On his return he found the general much worse, and he breathed with difficulty. Witness then went for Mr. Fennell, the surgeon, and that gen tleman was in atten dance upon the deceased until within a short period of his demise, which took place about one o'clock that morning•. The deceased had not previously been under medical treatment. Mr. Edwin Fennell, the surgeon, deposed that when he was called in he found the deceased suffering from a very serious spasmodic pain at the chest ; he was sen sible ; ho breathed with difficulty. His pulse was slow, but full and soraew'hat irregular. The state deceased was then in did not dead witness to suppose that the pain of body was the resu It of anything taken or of violence done to him. Witness put the deceased's feet in warm water, and applied a, mustard poultice over the region of the heart. Hs rem tined with him two hours, when he had somewhat rafitied. Shortly after his departure he was again sent for, and on his arrival he found he was dead. The cause sf death was disease cf the heart. Major Oliphant • observed that the deceased had com plained of feeling u ,nwell a day or two previously. The jury return Rd a verdict of died from natural I causes induced by A disease of the heart.

THE NEEDLES.—An important discovery has re• cently been made by commander Sherringham and the officers of the Dasher, surveying vessel, of a great error in the Admiralty charts, representing the depth of water and some dangerous sunken rocks in the Needles passage. For many years there have appeared in the charts issued from the llydrographic-office marks of soundings near the Needles' rocks, pointing out sunken chalk rocks in the narrow passage, with the water over them not exceeding three or four fathoms ; and in consequence there is an order in force from the Admiralty that no captain of a ship of the line is to make that passage, down crr up the Solent, to or from the Channel, through the Needles. The Dasher, surveying vessel, has been occupied for the last year in surveying and sounding the water over the shoals, and in the channels, bays, &c., leadiagfrom Christ church Bay to Cowes, and a week or two since came to the Needles, and minutely examined the passage be tween that part of the Isle of Wight and the shingles, including Alum Bay, &c. Soundings were taken in three lines over the supposed dangerous chalk rocks, the width being quite 500 yards, and the leads were dropped as quick and as close as possible, first from a boat, and afterwards from the Dasher, when it was ascertained that at low water there was never less than five fathoms, or thirty feet water over every part, and that a line of battle ship could with ease work to sea by that channel much quicker when the wind is from E. than by having to beat up from Spithead to the Nab light, and round by Bembridge ledge. A full report of this important fact, with a descriptive chart, has been made by Com mander Sherringham, and transmitted to the Admiralty who will doubtless represent to the Trinity Board the advantages which will arise to the mercantile shipping, when it is known that vessels of great draught of water can use the Needles' passage i . n any weather, without risk. The last ships of the line which p asse d th roug h the Needles were the Spartiate and Wellesley ; the latter had the flag of the late Rear-Admiral Sir F. Maitland, K.C.8., bound to India, but sho was without her lower deck guns. On one day's survey Commander Sherring ham was accompanied by Vice-Admiral Sir G. E. Hammel, Bart., of South Yarmouth, known to be one of the best pilots of that part of the Isle of Wight. and he was agreeably surprised at the soundings which were obtained.—Shipping Gazette. Offence was lately taken by the " sovereign people" at Saratoga, in the United States, that Madame Jumel (the widow of the famous Aaron Burr) should presume to drive in a carriage with four horses. The lady was grossly insulted. Thin is something of the same character with an expression of public opinion to wards an innovator a year or two ago. The offender was a gentleman of wealth, who had r es id e d some ti me abroad : returning with his English servants, he was stoned in the street of New York f or r idi ng w ith a mounted servant in livery behind .him. FLAX.—IRELAND.—If only o ne-half of the lands in Ireland, suitable for flax culture, were under that crop, employment, and that in the poorest districts, would be afforded to upwards of four millions—about half the population. independently of its claims, on the ground of profit to the fame .r and employment to the labourer, flax culture adds tho very important one, of mainly contributing to uphold and increase a manu facture which already employs tho usands of hands in its prosecution ; it has distributed wealth wherever it has settled, and is in fact the most flourishing and im portant of the industrial resources of Ireland. We are led into these remarks by observing that flax culture u f n o d r e l r roland," that atl le auspices of " The Flex has p r p e r o s s v e e d m e s n o t r s a o p c i i d e l t y y deputa tion, headed by the Marquis of Domnshire, attended on Wednesday, at Windsor, and that " specimens of linen and camlirics were presented and gt aeionsly received by her Majesty." These specimens we re made from purely Irish grown flax ; the webs of Hill In and cambric both bore the seal of " The Golden Fllax," to the spirited proprietors of which too much praise cannot be given for their indefatigable real in stinxt; biting this industry.
