IRELAND. DUBLIN, Nov. 9.—The usual weekly meeting of the Repeal Association took place this day, at Conciliation Hall. At one o'clock Mr. O'Connell, attended by several members of the committee, entered the hall, and moved that the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor do take the chair. His LORMHIP upon taking his seat addressed the meeting, and reiterated his approval of the policy of the Association under O'Connell. Mr. O'Connell, he said, had gained Catholic Emancipation; and if men imagined that he did not then possess the same powers to obtain repeal—as clear and full powers as he possessed 20 years past—they were very much mistake n ?—(Hear.) What had he lately done for Ireland, and what had the Young Irelander, done ?—(Groans.) Since he had returned from Parliament, although in his 72d year, and requiring ease and retirement, his whole time, day and night, was employed in endeavouring to ameliorate the condition of his fellow-countrymen—(Hear)—and where were the seceders ?—(Groans.) Nowhere !—(Awful groaning.) The real question, therefore, was, were they Catholics ? were they Roman emancipated Catholics ?—(Cheers.) What would they be but for O'Connell ?—(Hear.) '1 he famous Henry Grattan once said he would know a Catholic by his stooping, crouching posture ; but was that the case then ? No—a Catholic then stood up as erect as any other man.—(Cheers.) The Young Ire landers wanted to turn leaders, and set aside the man who did all this ; but the seven millions of Irish people, the Catholic hierarchy and clergy, would never submit to have any leader but the one—O'Connell.—(Cheers.) He (the Lord Mayor) was born in the county Tipperary —although he had lived almost all his life in Dublin— yet he could state from hi; - own knowledge that there was but one Young Irelander in the whole county. A VOICE—A groan for him.—(Groaning.) The LORD MAYOR went on to say, he was proud of his native county, and said that he believed the seceders would take any place that might be offered to them, notwithstanding all their professions of indifference. — (Hear.) Why, he (the Lord Mayor) would ask, should not a repealer take a good place if be could get it? As far as he was cot cerned, he was an Old Ireland repealer, and one who had never looked for a place—yet he would take a good one, if it was offered to him.—(Cheers.) They should do all in their power to get repeaters and the friends of Ireland into office; and he would tell them the reason why.--(Hear.) Could, he would ask, Mr. O'Connell have waited on the Lord-Lieutenant, if he was nc t a friend to the people, to ask him to provide them with food and employment ?—(Hear.) That was his reason for wishing to see good appointments made—such appointments as that of the Lord Chancellor and Lord Chief Baron.—(Cheers.) The minutes of the last meeting having been read by the Secretary, Mr. STEELE said, as a Protestant, he considered he was liberated by O'Connell, and believed that he felt with Mr. Latouche, who once stated in the old Catholic Association, that O'Connell was the emancipator of Pro testants as well as the Catholics. The Learned Gentle man concluded by reading an address from the Old Ire lenders, repealers of Stillorgan, Booterstown, &c., to Mr. O'Connell, and moved its adoption. The motion having been seconded and passed, Mr. O'Coisissu. returned thanks to the gentlemen who had signed it, and then handed in several subscriptions; after which Mr. THOMAS ARKINS (sword -bearer to the Corpora tion) begged permission to introduce to the Lord Mayor a Mr. Heyhurne, a barber, and a friend of his, who felt annoyed at its being supposed that he had attended the meeting of the Young Ireland party on the preceding Wednesday evening. The fact was his brother had attended the meeting, and was also a barber. Mr. HEYBURNE then came forward, and professed his adhesion to the moral force doctrines of the Association. He said that, unfortunately, his brother, with whom he was not on terms, was a Young Irelander, and was spouting at their meetings, when it would be better for him to stop at home and mind his barber's shop. — (Cheers.) If he did this, he would do a great deal more than he was doing for his country. He (Mr. Heyburne) would not intrude any longer on the meeting, having made this explanation, for he supposed that the Asso ciation had more important business before it than to listen to an " Old Ireland barber" make a speech. Mr. O'CoNNELL—I think that barber is a keen shaver. —(Laughter.) Some subscriptions having been handed in, Mr. O'CONNELL said he wished to announce that he had been honoured that morning by a visit from the Right Rev. Dr. ICeatinge, Bishop of Ferns, who had handed him 271. 10s. from the clergy of his diocese; and he had also to acknowledge 131. 18s. from the county Wexford, by the Rev. Dr. Sinnott, in a letter, from which we make the following extracts : " Faithful Wexford thus evinces its sincerity in de testing the legislative union, and in persevering peaceful exertions for repeal and Old Ireland. " What evil has Old Ireland done that Wexford should heed false advisers to cast her off ? What cala mities have fallen upon us, from peaceful and legal ex ertions, that we should fly to counsels of crime, and danger, and destruction ? " Wexford men remember that long centuries of battle deeds and sanguinary struggles left behind, one after another, estates confiscated, the bodies of hundreds and thousands of brave Irishmen strewed over the bloody plains, and Ireland itself a desolate land, for the stranger to plunder and tyrannise, and the native to pine in dis tress and slavery. " Wexford men also remember, that the quarter of one single century's peaceful agitation has done more victo rious deeds for liberty and Old Ireland than all the wars and battles put together from the days of Henry the Second to the recent projected massacre of Clontarf, which was followed by the triumph of Conciliation Hall over the ' delusion, mockery, and snare ' of miscalled justice. " Wexford men, remember all this, and therefore they have no other motto—they adapt no other than the one long dear to their hearts— "' 0 Connell, Old Ireland, and Repeal !"' Now he (Mr. O'Connell) felt proud of the compliments paid him in this letter, and would join with the writer in asking what had Old Ireland done?—(Cheers.) Mr. O'NEILL aeurrer having addressed the meeting at some length, said that the very men who had seceded from the Association and charged them with supporting an anti-repeal Government, were the same clique who supported the Tories on the Bequest Act and the Irish Colleges Act.—(Hear, hear.) Such in fact was the conduct of those men, that their policy was approved of by the Mail and other such papers, and that was say ing enough for them.—(Cheers.) Mr. JOHN AUGUSTUS O'NEILL next came forward, and made a long speech in reference to the resolutions upon which the differences arose between the Associa tion and the Young Ireland party. He said that he believed that the Association would yet receive them as its prodigal children; and expressed a hope that they would come forward and abandon a policy which amounted to a caution to the Government never to grant repeal.—(Hear, hear.) They, the Young Irelanders, were pledged to "moral force" under the Rotunda pledge of the 30th of May, 1845, until the obtaining of repeal; and the Government consequently had their re cognizinces until it was granted, and of course would not grant a measure which would give any body of men an opportunity of drawing the sword. Some more money having been handed in and acknow ledged, Mr. O'CoistiELL rose to make the speech of the day. Ile said, an accident would prevent his entering into the present prospects of repeal—the state of the country — and replying to the Crete repeaters. The accident he alluded to was the illness of his clerk. However, he hoped at the next meeting to enter fully into those sub jects.—(Hear, hear.) lie regretted the postponement with regard to the people of Cork, because he had heard that the results of division in that city was likely to let in the enemies of Ireland to office—to let in a Tory Lord Mayor.—(Cries of Shame, shame.") Such was the handiwork of Young Ireland. Now, the Nation of Saturday had stated that he (Mr. O'Connell) had called that party a phalanx, but he begged pardon of the Nation, and wished to say that it had originated the name itself, and he had only adopted it, and Mr. O'Brien had confirmed it. He did not care what the young gen tlemen called themselves, whether a young phalanx, or an old phalanx, or a " noble phalanx;" they might adopt the latter name if they pleased; and they were still satisfied with being called Old Irelanders.—(Loud cheers.) There was then a noble phalanx ou the one side, and the Repeal Association on the other. — (Loud cheers.) Mr. O'Brien—the head of this noble phalanx—said he (Mr. O'Connell) was ugly, but, un fortunately, he could not help it, and he thought it was rather harsh to abuse him for what he would not help; however, he was satisfied with the reflection, that some of the Young Irelanders were no great beauties themselves—(Hear, hear, and laughter) —and he wondered would any of them ever live to stand before an Irish audience to ask if they had struggled for their country for half a century ?—(Hear.) This noble " physical force phalanx" was employed in doing nothing for Ireland.—(Hear.) Why, he would ask, did they not form an association for themselves ? He would tell the reason why. It was because they were afraid with all their professions, and thought it safer to fight with types and printer's devils, than to resort to the sword, which they lauded so much.—(Hear, hear.) They were, in fact, as they said, a literary phalanx, with no brigadier general—at least, who was to fill that post he did not know.—(Hear.) It was to be a literary violence they were to employ—they were to use their quills as pikes, and their pencils as bayonets ; such was the Young Ire lender's courage.—(Cheers.) The Learned Gentleman having again referred to the state of the country, and the destitution in different parts of it, concluded by stating that he was to attend a meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society, on Wednesday, and said he hoped that body would adopt a liberal policy with reference to their condition. The rent was then announced at 881. Mr. J. A. O'Neill was called to the chair, and the meeting separated shortly after three o'clock. STATE OF THE COUNTRY. The accoosits received this morning from the pro v inces are, on the whole, satisfactory ; outrages are on the d ec li ne, employment rapidly on the increase, a is nd bec in om m i o n s g t of the abundant, whil e districts the supply of food undant, whil e th e p r i ce i s d ec li n i ng .

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBEA, - - RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. THE COMMISSION. On Monday the new Railway Commissioners, in pur suance of a notification in the Gazette or Friday last, opened their office in Great George-street, Westminster, and began to act in execution of the statute of last ses sion (9th and 10th Vic., c. 106), where spe fications, &c., for intended Bills in the next session mu,t be delivered by the close of the present month. The Commissioners are the Hon. E. Strutt (president), Earl Granville, Sir E. Ryan, and Captain R. Brandreth. It was con sidered expedient to constitute a separate department for the railway business, and likewise the superintend ence thereof, from the Board of Trade. Her Majesty was empowered to appoint five Commissioners, but only four have been gazetted. Any two of the Commissioners are competent to act in execution of the power vested in them. The second section provides that from and after the day which shall be so specified in the Gazette (Mon day last) as the day on which the said Commissioners shall begin to act in execution of the statute, all the powers, rights, and authority vested in, or exercised by the Board of Trade, under any Act with respect to any railway or intended railway, shall be transferred to and vested in and exercised by the Commissioners of Rail ways as fully as if they had been named in the said se veral Acts of Parliament, and all the provisions of the said Act shall be deemed to apply to the said Commissioners instead of the Board of Trade, and all proceedings pending shall be continued and carried on by and before the said Commissioners, who shall have and receive the same powers, rights, and authority in respect of all such proceedings, as if they had been originally commenced before the said Commissioners. By another provision an office is to be opened to which all notices and other do cuments must be given or sent. All documents sealed with a seal, and signed by two or more of the Commis sioners, are to be received in evidence in all courts and before all parties and others, without any further proof thereof. After providing for the appointment of officers, the payment of their salaries, &c., the Act goes on to state that the Commissioners are to exercise the powers vested in the Board of Trade, to prevent companies act ing contrary to the Acts constituting them railways. Tne Commissioners are to report to her Majesty and both Houses of Parliament upon any case specifically referred to them. An important part of the Act has reference to " local inspection and survey " by the Com missioners or their officers, and the expense incurred thereon is to be paid by the promoters of the intended line. On a matter being referred to them, the Commis sioners may inquire and report, on local inspection or otherwise, whether there are any lines or schemes com peting with the proposed railway; whether it is proposed to unite with any other railway, &c.; whether it is pro posed to constitute a branch, and whether the plans, maps, and sections deposited are correct. The Act is now in force, and much good is expected to result, espe cially from " local inspection and survey," in respect to railways and proposed lines. IRISH BILLS FOR NEXT SESSION. What a contrast between the bustle and activity of last November and the total absence of railway speculation at present ! Twelve months ago the Dublin Gazette, owing to the great mass of notices on the part of promoters of railway Bills, was increased to six or eight times the ordinary dimensions. Now there is scarcely a railway scheme to be heard of, and the Gazette is filled instead with proclamations from the Lord-Lieutenant for pre sentment sessions to adopt measures for the relief of the destitute. The Irish Railway Gazette of this day thus notices the few railway projects that •appear to be in con templation : "The Dublin and Drogheda Company will promote several Bills, seeking powers to amalgamate and pur chase, and also to extend their branch from Navan, vid Kells and Virginia, to Cavan. " The Dundalk and Enniskillen Company propose to obtain an Act to construct a branch line from Carrick macross to join their main line at Inniskeen. " The Great Southern and Western Company will again apply for an Act to construct a branch from Por tarlington to Tullamore, and we do not know that they will be unopposed. Mr. Pim's letter to Mr. Carr, which we noticed in our last, detailed a plan by which the traffic of the western districts could be secured to this company on very cheap and favourable terms ; but the notice of an intention to apply for the branch to Tulla more would seem to indicate a disapproval of Mr. Pim's proposal. Should no arrangement be come to, we may anticipate a revival of the unpleasant opposition between the Grand Canal and this company. There is another line to Galway, which is proposed by parties in con nexion with the Mountmellick Junction. and which is influentially locally supported ; and the Great Southern and Western may conceive that it is better designed to secure and develop the traffic of the western districts than the Grand Canal line advocated by Mr. Pim. " The Dublin and Dundrum Company have given no tice of a Bill to amend their present Act, and also to extend their line so as to have the city terminus in Ste pen's-green. They are bound under their present Act to make this application to Parliament, and they will also apply for powers to sell or lease the line to the Waterford, Wexford, Wicklow, and Dublin Company. " The Cork and Bandon Company intend to apply for a Bill to amend in some particulars their present Act, but the notice has not yet appeared. " The Newry and Enniskillen Company also intend to make a similar application, but we cannot conceive how they possibly can succeed to the full extent con templated." EASTERN COUNTIES.— ERECTION OP DOCKS ♦ND WAREHOUSES, AND A BRANCH LlNE.—Application is intended to be made to Parliament in the next session for an Act to construct wharfs, docks, and piers, and other buildings at or near Gallows Reach, in the River Thames; and also a branch to connect the Eastern Counties with the docks. The line will commence at the docks, near the boundary line of the parishes of Barking and Woolwich, and pass through Woolwich, Barking, East Ham, and West Ham, and terminating at West Ham by a junction with the Eastern Counties, at Caernarvon-hall Bridge. THE RUGBY STATION OF THE LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN.—The London and North Western have pur chased thirteen acres of land whereon to erect a new station at Rugby—the one now in use being inefficient to the present and the anticipated traffic—when the pro posed junctions at Rugby with the Oxford and Rugby, Rugby and Stamford, Rugby, Leamington, and War wick, and the Trent Valley lines will be completed. The number of trains running into this station amount now to fifty a day. The South-Eastern are expending 100,000/ in the erection of an extensive factory adjacent to the line at Ashford, covering several acres of ground. It is in tended for the manufacturing and repair of looomotives, their present premises at New Cross being inconvenient, es well as being the depot of the Croydon and Brighton Companies. There are also erecting at Ashford cot tages for four hundred workmen, with a railway church. The London and North-Western are building locomotive factories at Wolverton, which, when eompleted, will cost nearly about the same sum. RAILWAY SHARE. MARKETS.

MR. HUME AT MONTROSE. The Member fur this district of burghs having been called hither last week to attend the funeral of a sister, took an opportunity of holding an interview with the Town Council. Most of the members were present, but the meeting was more of a private than a public nature — the Provost remarking, that although Mr. Hume, under other circumstances, would have been happy to have entered fully and publicly on a review of his conduct as their representative, he had no intention at present of appearing before the constituencies. Mr. Rusin rose and stated, that it was not without pride that he now looked upon the realisation of the principles which he advocated thirty years ago, when he first came before them. When he was first elected for Montrose he was the only Scotch Member who stood forward to condemn monopolies. At his now advanced period of life—almost three score and ten —he might naturally be expected to court retirement ; and certainly, had not a chance taken place in the policy of the Executive, he would have bid adieu for ever to public life. But he conceived, now when it was probable that, in one year, more good may be done than in an age, that ho would sacrifice much of the public advantage were he to decline giving the benefit of his experience and information to the Legisla ture. His energy and meal for the public good were still unabated. And, satisfied that much might be gained in the next Parliament for the working classes, by the abolition of those taxes which press most heavily on them, he was prepared once more to become the re presentative of the burghs. He had been instrumental in getting a resolution passed to sweep away all sine cures—all offices where money was paid without services rendered ; and whenever a sinecure fell in, he took special care to remind Government of the fact. When the Custom-house was thoroughly reformed, like as the Post-office is to some extent, he anticipated great and lasting benefits to the mass of the people. Sir Robert Peel had been blamed for laying on as many taxes as he had taken off. This was unfair. He had talon off eight millions of taxes, and he had laid on five, but these lat ter were laid on upon capital, and the middle and lower classes had been relieved. He (Mr. H.) expected to see the whole of the assessed taxes removed, beginning with that odious impost. the window lights, and includ ing all taxes on carriages, railroads, canals, and, in short, everything which sets industry in motion. He regretted much that Sir Robert Peel had seen it neces sary to retire from office. But of late he had been en couraged to put more confidence iu th- present Admi nistration; they were likely to pluck up more resolution, and there was no chance of their going backwards. If the burgh constituencies, numbering about 365, would only act honestly towards themselves, all would be right. The next Parliament was destined to effect great and salutary changes in our social system; and he thought that, if his health permitted, his experience would be useful in maturing these changes. For a cone siderable time he had been turning his attention to the expediency and necessity of relieving the shipping in terest from all port and light charges whatsoever; and from the circumstance that Lord Palmerston, Admiral Dundas, &c., took the same views with himself in the Committee on light dues, he augured the happiest re sults. At present the shipping of Britain is taxed 365,0001. per annum for lights, whereas he had shown that 75,0001. would be amply sufficient to maintain the lights efficiently. He thought nothing was more practicable than to place our shipping on a footing to compete with the shipping of the world. — (Hear.) He had succeeded in getting an important reform effected in the unwieldy composition of Com mittees of the House. Nineteen years ago, convinced of the corruption that prevailed in these Committees, he was hooted when he proposed to change their character and to limit their number; he had lived to see them re duced to five; so that no one ought to despair of accom plishing good. Henceforward no private evidence would be received in support of any local Bill, as Government must now be satisfied by the report of a commissioner specially appointed to make the necessary inquiry as to all the facts and circumstances set forth in said Bill. Education, he believed, would be the great measure of the next Parliament. Something was absolutely neces sary to be done, in order to repress crime. The penal colonies were surfeited with convicts; and we have now almost arrived at the pass—unable to punish criminals; for it was his opinion, that capital punishments would soon be abolished. He thought a system of instruction similar to that which obtains in Holland ought to be introduced. There all go to the same school, and no sectarian religious differences are introduced. He con ceived that it was the duty of the State to provide edu cation as well as food for the multitude. He would like to know what were the feelings of the constituency on the subject. He might be wrong in his views; if he were told so, he would at least think it necessary to reconsider them. As to the Free Church, he regretted the steps its ministers had taken; but now that they had gone out, he respected their conscientious views. He thought it highly essential to bring the Kirk and the Free Kirk together on this important question. The Hon. Gentle man introduced sundry other topics, in a discursive style, and sat down by thanking the Council for the kindness he had always received at their hands.—Mon trose Review. ALARMING FIRE NEAR THE REGENT'S-4'MM.— Last evening, between the hours of seven and eight o'clock, a fire of a very alarming nature broke out in the private residence, belong to Mrs. Needham, No. 12, Stanhope-street, Park-place, Regent's-park. It appears that whilst the inmates were conversing together in the drawing-room they were alarmed at hearing the crack ling of wood, and smelling fire very strongly. Upon making examination, it was ascertained that the two pair back-room was in flames. An instant attempt was made to confine the flames to that room, by pouring buckets of water upon them, but those so engaged were soon obliged to abandon the place, for the fire had , already obtained such a strong hold that it speedily communicated to the front room on the same floor ; and having travelled through the roof, the flames rose to an alarming height. The inmates of the adjoining building, being apprehensive that the fire would not be confined to one house, tore away the upper windows, and com menced throwing their furniture into the street ; which was afterwards removed to the grounds of the Edinburgh Castle Tavern for protection. By so doing, considerable damage was done to the costly articles by breakage and water. Information having been dispatched on the out break to the several engine stations belonging to the London Brigade, with all promptitude the engines from Wells-street, Crown-street, High Holborn, King-street, and Baker-street, arrived. Unfortunately, however, the firemen had to wait upwards of 20 minutes before any water could be procured from the mains ; meanwhile the fire continued to descend the staircase, and through the flooring into the rooms beneath. Water having at length been obtained, the engines were immediately set to work, and being worked by the firemen and a strong muster of soldiers from the Albany -street Barracks, the flames were by nine o'clock entirely extinguished. The damage done is considerable, but, fortunately, Mrs. Needham was insured in the County office. The origin of the fire could not be ascertained. SERIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Sunday night last an accident of a dreadful character took place on the Lancaser and Carlisle Railway, near Kendal, which is likely to terminate in fatal consequence s , and by which valuable property has b een destroyed, it appears that on the above day a party of sub-cont rac t ers an d ot h er persons engaged on the line decided on having a plea ongtihneg to the company consent), and (we their plea sure trip to Shap, a dist ance of abo ut sixteen miles, to without ce l e brate the completion of the railway, so far as the prac ti ca bility of travelling was concerned, and for that sta r t started a purpose understandprocuredtan e ar l yt entirely a h . o u engines i n e day. O n re t urn i ng, one of the engines preceded t he other for a considerable dis tance, and, therefore, arrived at its destination sooner, and was incautiously left standing on the rails in the direct path of the one which was behind ; and the fearful consequence was that a collision ensued, which dashed the former engine to atoms, and dreadfully injured those who were being conveyed on the latter, they being thrown off it by the force of the shock in all directions. Gawth, a smith, who was on it, was dashed with tre mendous force into the furnace of the engine, and dread ully scorched about the upper parts of his body and otherwise injured so much that two out of the three sur geons who attended him stated that they had no hope whatever of his recovery. Another person had his thigh lacerated, and others were injured to a great extent. The engineer has absconded.

ENLARGEMENT OF THE ROYAL POLYTECHNIC IN of the Royal Polytechnic M. STlTUTlON.—Yesterday a very numerously-attended meeting of propri e t ors Insti tution, was h e ld i n t h e B oar d- roo m, W. Nurse, Esq., presiding, to determine upon the expediency of perma nently enlarging and otherwise improving this popular temple of science. After a good deal of discussion among the proprietary, as to the best mode of affording additional accommodation to the daily increasing num ber of visitors, it was proposed, seconded, and unani mously carried, that power be given to the directors to enter upon arrangements for the construction of a com modious theatre attached to the institution, the cost of such building, including the uncovered seats, but exclu sive of the fixtures, fittings, and paintings, to be de frayed by means of an annual rent from the institution. The directors were further authorised to negotiate for the purchase of an adjoining site, and to make definite arrangements with approved contractors for carrying out selected architectural plans of the proposed theatre. From the statements made by the chairman and other gentlemen, it appears that th e new building will cover an area equal to that which the ga ll e ry of the institu tion extends over, namely, 120 feet in length and 45 feet in width. THE WORKS AT T HE N E LSON COLUMN. — It is stated that the long procrastinated completion of the works on the Nelson Column in Trafalgar-square will very soon be finally brought to a close. Workmen have been actively employed on the work during the last few days. THE SEWAGE COMPANY.—Notices have been given of the intention to apply to Parliament for as Act to enable the Sewage Manure Company to make drains, tunnels, sewers, ecc., under the City, to Barking-reach, where reservoirs, &c., are to be formed for the reception of the immure. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday Sir George Carroll took his seat for the first time as Lord Mayor in the justice room. Several younc , men were brought before his Lordship charged, some of h them with having picked pockets, and others with having attempted to pick pockets, on Lord Mayor's day. A lad, named James Neill, was accused of having picked a man's pocket of a pocket- book. As George Wardle, City policeman, No. 25, was on duty between 11 and 12 o'clock on Monday, near the Guildhall Coffee-house, he observed the prisoner make several attempts on the pockets of different persons. At length the hand of the prisoner went deliberately into the pocket of one man, and took out something, which he put into his own pocket. The policeman instantly followed the plundered party, communicated to him what had happened, and took into custody the prisoner, in whose trousers' pocket he found a pocket-book, which was identified by a tailor, named Robert Linfort, as his property. The prisoner said that somebody in the crowd, no doubt with the view to get out of a scrape, thrust the pocket-book into his pocket, and the policeman mistook one person for the other, and unluckily accident had favoured the suspicion. Committed for trial. Thomas Swindle was doubly charged. George Kemp, 82 N, of the Metropolitan Police, who had been in search of the prisoner, saw him near Lon don-bridge on Monday, after the embarkation of the Lord Mayor, putting his hand into the pocket of a lady of the name of Pickford, the wife of a wine merchant. The officer at once seized the prisoner, and found in his hand two shillings and five halfpence, which the lady said was the exact amount which she had in her peas es sion before she was robbed. Elizabeth Woodcock stated that on the sth of No vember she was in Margaret-place, when a Guy Faux passed, and in the crowd was the prisoner, who slipped his hand into her pocket and drew out her purse, con taining 10s. 6d. in silver. She saw the fellow pull his hand out, and pursued and took him, and held him about ten minutes or a quarter of an hour, but could get no assistance, and he escaped. She afterwards informed the police of the robbery, and she had no doubt of the pri soner's identity. Policeman 82 N, while looking out for the prisoner upon the charge just uttered, cast his eyes upor. him as he was committing the robbery described in the first case, and caught him in the act. The prisoner said that people were liable to mistakes in the streets, in which there were such crowds and con fusion ; for his part, he never committed the robbery, and if he suffered, he should suffer innocently. The LORD MAYOR, who perceived that the prisoner was a regular professional thief, committed him for trial upon the two charges, in order to get rid of him for some time from the streets of London. Alexander Ogilby, a man of large size and peculiarly brutal appearance, was charged with having committed most dangerous assaults upon the police. John Monaghan, (341) City policeman, stated that at half-past nine on Monday night, he was called by an in habitant to remove the prisoner from a shop in Fen church -street. The prisoner appeared to he drunk and refused to leave the shop, and witness took him to the station-house, where the prisoner, who had a knife in his hand, struck and tried to stab him. Inspector Merchant stated, that he was obliged to lock up the prisoner; his violence was of the most violent character, and when witness opened the door to remonstrate with him, the brutal fellow cut his hand completely across. The witness then went to get assistance, and upon his return found an officer, named Henry Martin (49) strug gling with him on the ground. Martin said, that when the Inspector went for more assistance, he had the prisoner by the collar, and imme diately the prisoner took a clasp•knife out of his pocket, swore he would " give it to" witness, made a stab at him, knocked him down, and cut his hand severely between the thumb and the forefinger. The LORD MAYOR asked the prisoner how it happened that he bad been guilty of such desperate violence to men who had been temperately doing their duty towards the public ?—The prisoner said he knew nothing at all about the business, as he was, in fact, dead drunk. Remanded till Thursday. William Bunt was charged by Mr. Gilbert, of the Minories, with having most cruelly beaten one of the horses he was driving in a waggon. He had been sitting on the middle horse, which was without reins, and he struck one of the poor animals most desperately about the head with the butt end of his whip. The horse fell, and the brute struck it even more brutally when down. The LORD MAYOR expressed great indignation at the conduct of the defendant, and was about to fine him to the utmost extent, when he suddenly learned that the fellow had a very large family, and that the infliction would inevitably fall upon the heads of his wife and children. The LORD MAYOR (to the defendant)—You deserve the weightiest punishment, but I cannot think of punish ing your wife and children. The sentence of the Court upon you is that yon pay a fine of ten shillings, or be confined in the House of Correction for fourteen days. The defendant thanked his Lordship, and paid the fine. Maria Oldoak was charged. A policeman said that on Cornhill the defendant had flowers for sale, and, be ing in a drunken condition, was soon surrounded by a crowd ripe for any mischief. Upon being requested to go away, she castigated the policeman severely about the head and breast with her fists, and belaboured his country, which was Ireland, with her tongue. The con sequence was that she was introduced to the station house. She denied that she was capable of using the ugly words attributed to her, and said that she brought out the flowers to sell in honour of the day. The LORD MAYOR—But I cannot forgive drunken- Hess in a young woman. A female who indulges herself in that vice subjects herself to the worst insults. The defendant—Oh, my Lord, let me go ; and if you ever catch me before you again, you may do what you like with me.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—I shall fine you five shillings for being drunk and disorderly, or you must go to prison for seven days. The money was paid. THE SMALL DEBTS ACT. (From the Law Times.) Curiosity is on the rack to learn what is being done or contemplated towards setting in motion the machi nery of this measure, or we should rather say towards its construction, for the statute does little more than prescribe an outline; all the practical details are to be supplied by the Privy Council, the Lord Chancellor, or the Judges. The country is impatient for the consummation of a desire so ardently pursued, and from which such impos sible benefits are contemplated, and the lawyers will not be:displeased to have the measure of their good or evil ascertained. Besides its suspended animation operates most inconveniently just now. Clients are every where holding back their claims, waiting the advent of the cheap writs. The next term will exhibit a vast diminu tion in the number of writs, and the contraction of many an agency office. We understand that to Mr. Espi nasse, well known in the profession by his work on Nisi Prins, has been committed the task of preparing a draft of the forms of procedure, to be afterwards considered, revised, and approved by the judges. Abler hands could not have been employed upon this important duty. But to him and the judges the work will be dis tasteful. To frame any forms of procedure that shall fit the schedule of fees, will lash to the utmost the ingenuity of the framer. He can scarcely hope to give satisfaction. He will be laughed at by the lawyers for the brevity, or be abused by the public for his length. Mr. Espi nasse's reply must be, what sort of law do you expect for fifteen shillings ? We hear the Lord Chancellor has resolved that the duties of the judges (who will number about 100), shall be onerous tbat of necessity they must abandon private practice. In all, save the very large towns, they will lead peripatetic lives—a perpetual circuit. To carry out the "cheap" principle that has inspired the entire statute, the judges (who must be barris ters of seven rears' standing), it is said, are not to be paid for the first two or three years by salary, but by fees. The object of this is to apportion pay to work. It is supposed that the amount of fe es will indicate nearly the quantity of labour, and that the salaries may then be fixed at the average of the annual fees. In the choice of judges, we understand, the Chancel lor considers himself by no means bound to appoint existing judges of local courts, save where the statute e i h n a has m e xpperteesnst p l y required ersons. it. A n d H He i will s fearlesslysingle mindedness r e mov all is such, that the most perfect assurance may be entertained that in the selection of judges he will be guided by no other influence than a sense of public duty. Lord Cot tenham is, by universal admission, not only one of the ablest judges, but one of the most inflexibly upright men that ever sat upon the woolsack. FUNERAL or A T E ETOTALLEIL—On Sunday last the remains of Richard Turner, originator of the name teetotaller as applied to abstainers from intoxicating drink, whose death we noticed in our last week's paper, were interred in St. Peter's Churchyard, ground haying been purchased for that purpose through the exertio ns of a few zealous friends of the temperance cause. A very large number of teetotallers attended the funer a l, and in addition to those residing in Preston, there were several from Wigan, Hindley, Bolton, Blackburn, Burn ley, Padiham, Lancaster, &c. The funeral procession was preceded by the Rechabite band; after which came the teetotallers, two abreast, headed by Messrs. Swindle hurst, Howarth, Simpson, Bradley, D.'arden, and other members of long standing. Next came the corpse, in a hearse and pair, then the relatives of the de ceased, followed by the singers and Sunday school children connected with the Primitive Methodists, of which society he was formerly a member. Alto gether the number who attended the funeral amounted to about four hundred. The streets through which the procession passed were thronged with spectators. The deceased had been upwards of fourteen years a member of the Temperance Society, having signed the pledge at the request of Mr. Swindlehurst and Mr. Dearden, in St. Peter's School, in October, 1832, while in a state of intoxication. It may not be generally known how the term " teetotallers" became first adopted by the members of the Total Abstinence Society, but we may inform our readers that Dickey (that being the name by which Mr. Turner was familiarly called), in one of his speeches, which were generally characterised by an equal mixture of wit and blunders, being at a loss for a word which would convey to the audience that he was an out-and-out total abstinence man, said, "I have signed the tee, tee-total pledge." This speech was de livered in the Cockpit, at the latter end of the year 1833. The word being short and expressive, was im mediately adopted by the abstainers of Lancashire, and ultimately throughout England ; nay, we may say throughout the world, for both in America and India the term is adopted by those who are pled g ed to abstain from all intoxicating liquorsa—kreston Chronicle.

WRECK OF THE DEEMSTER OF INVERNESS, AND FIVE LIVES LOST. We regret to announce the total wreck of the fine ship Deemster, belonging to Mr. James Masson, Inver ness. Both vessel and cargo have perished, and this misfortune has been accompanied by the still heavier and more lamentable one of the loss of five lives—those of the master, carpenter, two seamen, and a passenger. On the 7th of September the Deemster left Quebec, having on board a cargo of timber and about forty-four barrels of flour. The voyage down the river and through the Gulf of St. Lawrence was favourable, and on the 9th the vessel was on the eastern part of the Great Bank of Newfoundland, in latitude 46 deg. north, and longitude 50 deg. 46 min. west. The weather then changed ; violent squalls and drizzling rain set in ; and about eight o'clock in the evening it blew from the west ward with increasing violence. About nine o'clock the ship gave a heavy and sudden lurch, and the water rushed in. The mate says, " I immediately went on deck, and ordered the fore topmast staysail to be cleared for setting ; in the meantime the rest of us got up the trysail of the ship, put the helm hard up, in order to get her on the other tack, and desired the carpenter to stand by the mainmast to cut it, if she would not wear with it. But while I was setting the fore topmast stay sail, the ship gave a heavy roll and went on her beam ends. I then went aft to the windward main-chains, and commenced to cut the lanyards of the rigging ; be fote I had succeeded far she uprighted; both masts were gone, and everything off the decks except the long-boat and some water casks. On mustering the crew, the master, carpenter, two seamen, and one passenger were missing." The mate then endeavoured to save the mas ter's papers, but this was found impossible, the cabin being full of water. The sea still rolled heavily, but the men contrived to secure themselves for the night. Sunday, the 20th, was more moderate, and the crew commenced to disentangle the wreck from the ship, and launch the long-boat, intending to make the latter fast at a certain distance from the ship, to be used in saving their lives should the vessel break up. Unfortunately, however, after they had got a few things in the long boat, a sea struck and drove it against the mainyard that was hanging on the ship's side, and thus bilged the boat. During the whole day the sea continued to break over the deck, rendering their situation very perilous. On the 21st the weather cleared, with light winds, and the crew contrived to steer to the southward. Next day two vessels came in sight, but the nearest was fifteen miles distant. To their inexpressible joy, however, they observed that one of the vessels was bearing down upon them, and at five o'clock in the afternoon a boat from the ship Saxon, with the master, came alongside, and received them in the boat. The master treated the un fortunate seamen with the utmost kindness, and admi nistered relief to such of them as were sick and ill from the fatigues and sufferings they bad experienced. On the 9th October they arrived safely at Quebec. The name of the deceased master was Colin Reed ; he was a native of Avoch, and has left a widow and child. The carpenter, John Noble, belonged to Inverness, and has left a widow and five children, destitute of any means of subsistence. The two seamen were young men, natives of Shields. Of the deceased passenger no information has been given. Both vessel and cargo were insured.— Ross-shire Advertiser. MILITARY PUNISHMENT.—Last evening a meeting of the gentlemen who have formed themselves into a committee for "purchasing the discharge of Privates Mathewson and Cook, witnesses at the late coroner's inquest at Hounslow, from the 7th Hussars," took place at Mr. G. Walters's, the Blue Posts Tavern, Shoe-lane, Fleet-street. Mr. Justine, the honorary secretary, stated that a penny subscription had been commenced. Between thirty and forty boxes had been distributed by the com mittee among licensed victuallers. The committee at present had about 151. in hand. In addition there were between 61. and 71. in private hands, and about 101. in the boxes. Mr. Beheny asked what was the amount required to purchase the discharge of Mathewson and Cook. The chairman replied 501., being 301. for Mathewson, as he had not been in the regiment but a few months, and 201. for Cook, as he had bee❑ in the service about tea years. Mr. Beheny—Have the authorities at the War-office the power to refuse the money when tendered for the dis charge of privates? Upon this a discussion arose, and it appeared that the War-office had the power, but seldom exercised it. The meeting soon after separated. TRH NZW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—Testerday were printed, by order of the House of Commons, four reports from the Select Committee of the House of Lords appointed to inquire into the progress of the building of the Houses of Parliament, together with the minutes of evidence. The Committee, in February and March last, examined Mr. Barry, Dr. Reid, Mr. A. Milne, and Mr. J. Gwilt, and, in their first report, declared that the system of ventilation contemplated by Dr. Reid could not be carried into effect for some years, as it depended on the completion of the central and Victoria towers. "The Committee are satisfied, from the evidence given before them, that the House of Lords may without diffi culty be completed with permanent fittings for the open ing of Parliament next year." In the second report the Committee stated, that they had examined Mr. G. Gurney as to the best system of ventilation, and were of opinion that further inquiries and experiments should be made before the final adoption of any plan hitherto pro posed for that purpose. Before the third report was made Mr. Barry was again examined, and they reported. " That the Committee have met and further considered the subject-matter referred to them, and have examined two witnesses in relation thereto, and the Committee are of opinion that the only impediment to the preparation of the new House of Lords for the commencement of the seesion of 1847 arises from a delay in the arrangement for warming and ventilating the apartment according to the views of Dr. Reid. That the architect has ex pressed his willingness to undertake the warming and ventilation of the new House upon a plan of his own and on his own responsibily. That the Committee are con vinced that if this proposal of the architect be not ac cepted, the occupation of their new House by the Peers will be postponed to an indefinite period." Mr. Barry and Dr. Reid: were further examined before the fourth report was presented. The Committee had received an assurance from the architect that the House would be in a fit state for the occupation of the Lords at the opening of the session next year. " The attention of the Com mittee having been called by the Lord Great Chamber lain to the inconvenience which has been felt from the manner in which the House has been crowded on state occasions, they are of opinion no ladies, except peer esses and their daughters, should be permitted to sit in the new House upon any of the benches in the division nearest the throne, and that all the front benches through out the House, and two more benches on each side in the centre division, should be reserved exclusively for the use of the Lords." The reports, with the evidence, ex tend to forty-nine folio pages ; they are now given in one Parliamentary document. SERIOUS ACCIDENT CAUSED BY ♦ CAT.—On Mon day evening the following serious accident occurred owing to the loss of a cat from the apartments of the Duchess of Inverness, at Kensington Palace. In the course of the afternoon the cat, which was a great favourite, was missed from the palace. A search was immediately made, but puss could nowhere be found. About seven o'clock, Bartholomew Mahony, an old man, upwards of 60 years of age, who has for years been cow keeper at the palace, while on the palace green, heard a cat mewing in the direction of the new buildings in the Queen's-road, now formed through the palace gar dens, and went towards the spot, believing it to be the lost cat, and in looking for the animal he fell into the space dug out for the foundation of one of the new houses. He was extricated by the'police and carried to St. George's Hospital, where it was ascertained that one of the old man's legs were broken, and that he had sus tained other severe injuries. CRUELTY TO A DONKEY.—At the County Magis trates' Office, Rochester, on Monday, William Tas4ell, a blacksmith, living at Chatham, was charged with having poured boiling water into a donkey's ear, The donkey, belonging to a wood dealer, was passing through Rhode street, when the defendant came out of the forge, and holding the animal by the ear, poured the water into it from a saucepan. The donkey, writhing with agony, ran back some distance, and it became necessary to place it under the care of a farrier. The poor animal refused its food for several days. The magistrates, after severely censuring the defendant for his cruelty, convicted him in a penalty of 20i., including costs. ASSISTANCE TO THE WBAIC—Last ; week, while a farmer at Ompton, Notts, was ploughing, accompanied by his shepherd dog, a hare, pursued by a large weazel, ran into the field where they were. The dog stood a spectator for some time, until the poor hare was almost exhausted, and nearly overtaken by its pursuer, when the dog ran across, and having seized and killed the weasel, allowed the here to pursue her courseitumolested.
