H➢ UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER. 36 to 66 per Cent. iaved To be had at U se Patentees. 60, Bt. Martin's-lane, Charing-cross. The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts, The advantages resulting free the invention are various and striking. Independently of a saving of 30 to 60 per cent,, the com bustion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light hitherto discovered. It emits neither smell nor smoke, and burns steadily for any period ; and such is its purity, that it neither affects or soils the most dedicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have Thad* to the introduction of in dwelling-houses, to the expense of fittings, to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold moulding, ice. ; these are entirely obviated by the " Pwrityr UNITIIRSLL GAS U tINEE." As the cost of laying on gas is muck lower than is com !Monty 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 i mmeasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of Waste or trouble. The merits of the " Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing every other known light, are shown by the annexed authentic opinions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER. Extract frora the' Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Tuesday, 26th May, 1%46, BirJOHN Rufous, President, in the Chair. " A 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 stem of the button, was heated, ant passed out by two series of Are-holes around the periphery, and impinging with force on the Sam s of the gas curved it%utwards in the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with the carburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very perfect combustion, Th e g ams was quite white down the top of the burner, was very steady, al 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 better ght, with a Saving of rather more than one-third.'

THE REGISTRATIONS. CITY OF LONDON. The Revising Barrister, at half-past ten o'clock on Saturday morning, proceeded with the revision of the householders' list. Henry S. Redpath, 13, St. Swithin's-lane, claimed to be put on the list. A claim was served on his behalf, but a blank was left in the document where the premises should have .been inserted, and in consequence of the omission the claim was disallowed. Henry Houghton, of Walbrook-buildings, claimed to be registered. It appeared that Mr. Houghton had attended last year, and that his claim was allowed, but notwithstanding that fact his name was omitted from this year's list, and it consequently became necessary to serve a new claim for him to be put on the rate. A complaint was made by Mr. Wansey, on the part of the complainant, of the hard ship of obliging him, under those circumstances, to attend the Court. The Vestry-Clerk was interrogated by the Barrister with reference to the omission, but was unable to state satisfactorily how: it had occurred. He admitted that he was responsible for the omission. Mr. Wansey submitted that the Court should fine the overseers in that case. BARRISTER—But Mr. Philips, the vestry-clerk, says he is responsible for it. The Vestry-Clerk declared, that he, and not the over seers, was responsible for the omission. Mr. Wansey again urged that the overseers might have made the omission. BARRISTER—We will understand how that is, and I am sure Mr. Philips will assist us to do so. Mr. Philips said if be could find out the lists on his re turn home, he should do so; but he could not pledge himself that he would find them, as his clerk was out of town. The BARRISTER intimated that he would be prepared at any time during the present registration to investigate the matter. The lists of the parishes of St. Stephen,Walbrook, and St. Swithin,London-wall,were revised, thereby finishing the revision of the wards of Bridge, Candlewick, Wed brook. The lists of Allhallows on the Wall, Broad street ward, were also revised. Result of the revision, as furnished by the Liberal agent : OBJECTIONS. Sustained. _ I Failed or withdrawn. Liberals. Tory.

Mr. Fyshe, the revising barrister, held his court yes- Lerday. at the Vestry Hall, Camberwell, to go through he list of voters for that district. Mr. E. Meymott attended, as Conservative agent, Mr. R. Russell for the Free-traders, and Mr. Jeans repre sented the Liberal party. In the parish of Christ Church 24 new claims were sent in by parties claiming to vote in respect of free hold land and houses, situate in Body's-court, in that parish. The claims were opposed by Mr. Meymott. Mr. Russell, who supported the claims, said that the parties who claimed the right to vote, were the mem bers and shareholders of a building society, called the Finsbury House Estate Company, the object of which was, when a certain sum was raised by the contribu tions of its members; to purchase house property, or invest their money on mortgage upon it. The property so derived was vested in the usual way in three trustees, but they only acted for the benefit of the shareholders generally, and as the property, for which the votes were now claimed, was of amply sufficient value, he sub mitted that the whole of the parties now claiming to vote, were entitled to have their names upon the re gister. The deeds were produced, and the trustees, who were present, were questioned as to the nature of the associa tion proving the facts, as stated by Mr. Russell. It ap peared that since the formation of the society some of the members had disposed of their shares to other par ties by deeds of assignment. Mr.Meymott, in opposition to the claims, argued that there was no freehold qualification, and that the shares were merely personal property, and not freehold, and were treated as such by the members of the society. Mr. Russell, in reply, said it did not matter how the parties themselves might act with regard to their own property, if there was, in point of fact, a freehold inte rest originally, and he cited a judgment given by the late Lord Chief Justice Tindal upon precisely the same point, in support of his view of the question. The REVISING BARRISTER said it appeared to him that the case cited by Mr. Russell was completely iden tical with the present one, and he considered the claim ants entitled to vote. The whole of the names were, therefore, placed upon the list. No case of interest occurred in any of the other parishes. There were forty-seven fresh claims made by free traders, of which forty-four were substantiated. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, OCTOBER 3.

TRUE BENEVOLENCE.—At the meeting of the Balliusloe Union Agricultural Society, on Tuesday, Sir M. D. Bellew, Bart., on being awarded a prize for the best drainage of a certain number of acres, said he de served no credit whatever on the occasion ; the merit was entirely due to his son, who, when the distres be came so prevalent in the country, resolved to abandon a tour which he was about to make through Greece and Turkey, inorder to expend the money which his journey would have cost him in giving employment to a number of poor people in carrying on this drainage. This an nouncement was received with loud applause.—lrish paper. IRELAND. THE FOOD RIOTS.-PROCLAMATION OF THE LORD-LIEUTENANT. _ _ DUBLIN, OCT. 3.—.1n consequence of the recent food riots and tumultuous assemblages in the south, the Lord- Lieutenant has issued the following proclamation, which shows that whilst his Excellency is adopting all possible means to mitigate the calamity that has fallen upon the country, he is .determined to maintain order, even by rigorous measures, and to afford to the trade in provi sions that protection without which society could not hold together : " Whereas it has b een " represented to a tenant, that in vari ous p arts o f th e country numerous Castle, Oct. Lo 2, rd lB -L 46 ie . u assemblages of people have committed acts of violence, by attacking the shops of bakers and the stores of mer chants, and by interrupting the free traffic in provisions, and otherwise disturbing the public peace: " His Excellency is determined, by every means in his power, to protect that lawful trade in the articles of food, the complete security of which is essential to the sub sistence of the people; and he earnestly warns all per sons of the danger which they incur by taking part in these illegal proceedings. " The Lord-Lieutenant has also been informed, that a disposition has in some instances been manifested by the labourers employed in public works to resist the sr ; angements which the officers of the board of , works have made, in order to ensure their proper execution, by task or piece work, as well as to endeavour, by violence, to obtain a higher rate of wages. These' officers are acting under the express directions of the Government, and if this improper interference is persevered in, the Lord-Lieutenant will be compelled to order the works to be discontinued. " The Lord-Lieutentant confidently relies on the con tinued support of magistrates and others of station and influence in his efforts to maintain tranquillity, as well as to mitigate the effects of the calamity with which it has pleased Divine Providence to afflict this country : and he desires, in an especial manner, to thank the ministers of religion, of all persuasions, for their useful and exemplary conduct on this trying, occasion. "By his Excellency's command, "H. LABOLICHERE." There are no further accounts of food riots from the country this morning. In Cork and other counties em ployment on public works has commenced ; and the Government are affording all possible facilities in order that the peasantry should be at work in all directions. ADDRESS FROM THE REPEAL ASSOCIATION ON THE FOOD RIOTS. The following address, proposed by Mr. John O'Con nell, M.P., at the instance of the Repeal Association, has been printed, with a view to circulation in all parts of the country : ADDRESS OF THE LOYAL NATIONAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION OP IRELAND TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND. " Fellow Countrymen,—Not until the calamity of famine was aggravated by bloodshed have we ventured to address you. " We know your sufferings—our hearts bleed with yours ; we dreaded to speak, lest reasoning and advice should sound to you as mockery of your misery " But now, that blood has been spilt— now that our hearts are dying within us at the thought that this may be but the beginning of the horrors we are doomed to witness, we can no longer—we dare no longer—refrain from crying out to you, in God's name, to be patient— to be patient yet awhile, and relief you shall assuredly have. " The Government are doing all that in them lies to supply for this most sudden and utter destruction of your food. Your landlords are exerting themselves to procure you employment. Every one is thinking of your miseries in the sincerest anxiety to relieve them. " For God's sake—for your country's sake—for your own sakes, restrain yourselves. Break not the law— commit not violence—plunge not into crime—bring not the worst wretchedness upon your helpless families, by bringing death upon yourselves ! " If, in the madness of your sufferings, you shall be tempted to spurn at our supplications, yet remember that what we seek to urge upon you is but what your religion teaches and commands—PATIENCE, PEACE, AVOIDANCE OF CRIME, CONFIDENCE IN ALMIGHTY GOD, AND RESIG NATION TO HIS HOLY WILL. " The darkest hour is that before the day ;' and we are at this moment in that dark hour which is to precede the near and glorious sunrise of freedom and happiness and prosperity upon this long afflicted land "It is impossible we can ever return to the state of things in which we have been. It is impossible that onr people can ever again be screwed down to the lowest point in the scale of existence. They MUST be given their proper place in the social scale. They must be allowed to enjoy the profits of their labour. They must have their hard-earned rents spent in the country. They must have the wasting drains from the country effectually stopped, and its money capital kept at home to vivify, as a fresh and abounding stream, the exhausted and dried up industrial enterprise of the land. " For England's own sake this must be done, else must she be prepared to take, in permanency upon herself, the support of our population—to see her coffers drained of the last shilling, and total bankruptcy brought upon the empire. " PEACE ORDER PATIENCE CONFIDENCE IN HEAVEN, and all will yet be well. Meantime be of this assured, beloved countrymen, that while we thus venture to exhort you—we with equal earnestness will cry out again and again to the Government, to continue, and, if possible, increase the efforts to give you FOOD. "Patience then, in the name of your country, and in the most adorable name of God !" (Signed) " JOHN O'CONNELL, " Chairman of the Committee. " Corn Exchange, Oct. 2, 1846." TROOPS FOR THE DISTURBED DISTRICTS. The Duke of Cambridge steamer, which left this city on Thursday evening, with four companies of the 47th Regiment for Dungarvan, has just returned. The steamer, not being able to make Dungarvan, put into Youghal, and landed the troops there. All was trail. quil in Youghal and the neighbouring districts when the steamer left yesterday, and the accounts from Dun garvan were peaceable. The four companies of the 47th marched at once for Dungarvan. PROPOSED MEETING OF LANDLORDS IN DUBLIN. The letter of Mr. R. Osborne, M.P., which we noticed on 'Thursday, urged the adoption of Mr. O'Connell's suggestion, fur an immediate assemblage of the landed proprietors of Ireland in Dublin, to consult upon mea sures suited to the present emergency. It will be perceived by the following documents that a somewhat similar project has been taken up by land lords connected with various counties:— " TO THE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF LUCAN. "DUBLIN, SEPT. 26, 1846.—We, the undersigned, request that you will allow your name to be affixed to the following requisition, and to direct your answer to Charles William Hamilton, Esq., 41, Upper Sackville street, Dublin:— . Michael Dillon Bellew, Bt. David Roche, Bart. Wm. Blayney Wade Wm. Monsell Robert Archbold, M.P. Charles Doyne Thomas Seymour Wm. Jones Armstrong Robert Bowen Chas. Wm. Hamilton Thomas R. Hardy Wm. Owen Richard A. O'Donnell, Bt. H. B. Coddington. " REQUISITION. " We, the undersigned, request a meeting of the landowners of Ireland, to be held in Dublin, on the day of next, to press upon her Majesty's Go vernment the importance of at once summoning Par liament, in order that the provisions of the Act entitled the 9th and 10th Vic., chap. 107, may be altered, so as to allow the vast sums of money about to be raised by the presentments under it to be applied to the de velopment of the resources of the land, rather than in public works of an unproductive nature. " Signature and address to be attached hereto, and re turned." " REPLY. " Castlebar, Oct. 1, 1846. " Sir,—l am of opinion that Parliament must be called together at the earliest possible day, which I have expressed to her Majesty's Government, or I am convinced the country is lost. e I will join in any address to the Queen to that effect, but I cannot sign the requisition forwarded to me, as I totally disapprove of stating that Parliament should be convened solely to consider an Act of Parlia ment, however mischievous, as the one mentioned most undoubtedly is. " Parliament should, and must be, at once assembled, to consider the frightful state of Ireland, to provide for the present emergencies, and and to legislate against a continuance, or a recurrence, of so severe a calamity as that with which we are afflicted. My- humble opinion is, that an address, very short, and in the above general terms, should immediately pro ceed to her Majesty from the members of the Legislature, and the lieutenants, deputy-lieutenant s , and magistracy, or proprietary of Ireland, as shall be preferred. This, I consider, is an address in which every Irishman will readily join, and one that cannot fail to secure the at tention and compliance of Lord John Russell and his Cabinet. " I shall not have it in my power to attend the pro posed meeting in Dublin , nor can I see how such m pu i r it p o o n s , e 2 .— sci l .,am , sir,you a r m m e o e s t- t " LUCAN. street." o f n b g , e , d e c i a e h4 n n al t s ,r e s l vsrpev Wi l l iam paaennrt y , s cs Hamilton, alll e We have learned that the circular has been altered, so as to meet the objection of Lord Lucan, and of others, who were of the same opinion as that Noble Lord. There are thirty- four additional proclamations in the Dublin Gazette of last night. The number of extra ordinary presentment sessions convened by the Lord- Lieutenant now amount to two hundred and thirty-six. The provincial journals are again crowded with re ports of presentment sessions, at which grants have been liberally made. STATE OF THE COUNTRY. The Cork Examiner of yesterday contains the fol lowing : " MACROOM.—Our Macroom correspondent relates that, on Wednesday afternoon, large bodies of men, women, and children, presenting an awful appearance of destitution, mustered together in that town. Th e work house was the first place to which they went, exhibiting nothing bordering on tumult, notwithstanding their pri vations. ' Work or food,' was the cry. A respectable inhabitant, Mr. Welply, used all his influence to quell any disposition to riot w hich appeared, with which view, to show his sympathies for their distress, he marched himself in their centre. Our correspondent recognised several in the crowd whom he knew to have been a long period without a morsel of food, yet the multitude did not betray the least symptom of lisorder, though their frames seemed to sink from faint ness. Even to the flowers of the garden attached to the workhouse no damage was done, nor to any kind of pro perty. The physician, who happened to be present remon strated with them, and pointed Out the prospects of re lief, after which they returned as peaceably as they en tered. The crowd, on returning to the square, was met by Mr. Little, resident magistrate, who called them to gether in the vicinity of the hotel, where the following conversation ensued:—' Are you from the country ?' Yes,' was the reply.' What brought you to Mac room?' To get employment and food.' Had you no other object of assembling together?' No.' " Mr. Little, satisfied of their sincerity, explained that the local gentry, lay and clerical of every denomina tion, were in emulation to serve the people, and bad memorialised the Government for a baronial sessions, although from the great pressure of similar applica tions at the Castle, his Excellency, as it was stated in reply, was obliged to postpone complying with the prayer of it for a few days. Mr. Little continued to say that he was the Government magistrate, and would make an official representation of their extreme destitution as well as their very creditable and orderly demeanour, with which he was highly gratified. The gentlemen around him also had written to the Lord-Lieu tenant for two hundred pounds for each parish in their district, which if granted would enable them to give em ployment in the interim. A guardian informed him of the intention on the next board day to adopt a resolution to give those in extreme distress food at the workhouse until the Government should interpose. He repeated be was delighted to witness their patient forbearance and good conduct, which had avoided consequences that would aggravate their present miseries. " Mr. Welply then presented himself, on whom was rivetted each expectant eye, and after having pronounced a high eulogium upon Mr. Little, the stipendiary magis trate, apprised the crowd of the various plans about to be adopted for immediate relief; he concluded by inviting those who suffered from hunger to his place, to which a great number repaired, accompanied by Mr. Welply, who was enthusiastically cheered at the conclusion of his address. " Just as the crowd was separating, the Rev. Mr. Lee, who had been absent from town and returned, addressed the congregated people, in an eloquent and feelingly impressive manner, which confirmed the impressions made by the two preceding speakers, calling upon them to return to their respective homes quietly, and pro mising ere the lapse of many days they would be restored to comparative comfort. The reverend gentleman's in junction was immediately obeyed, and the town resumed its wonted quietude. " A party of 37 mounted soldiers, which had been dis patched from Ballincollig the preceding day, paraded the streets; but so little apprehension of violence was ex cited, that the force was under orders to return the suc ceeding morning, to be replaced, if circumstances should render it necessary, by a body of infantry." DUNGARVAN, SEPT. 30.—Since Monday an organised band of peasantry have visited the houses of many gen tlemen and farmers in the country, telling them that all they required was employment, but that they would not work under Is. 6d. per day; and on Monday night they pulled down the houses of four farmers residing in the neighbourhood of Cappa, who were obnoxious to them. The rumour rife in town yesterday was that the peasantry had gone to all the farmers' and gentlemen's houses in search of arms, and were determined to return to the town to take summary vengeance on the military. However, the magistrates have taken every precaution to preserve the peace, and another troop of Dragoons has been sent for to Clonmel, whose arrival is hourly ex pected. They have also taken the precaution, that when any large number of peasantry are seen together they be immediately dispersed, and they will not allow a con course of people to enter the town under any pretext. At present everything wears a tranquil aspect, and busi ness has been resumed, but it is hard to tell how long it will continue so. What makes the attack made on Lord Stuart, at Clashmore, the more unaccountable is, that his Lordship has lately added sixty labourers to the number of those who have been heretofore engaged in his em ployment. Since writing the above I have been informed the.t a troop of Hussars arrived at two o'clock this morning tain Sibthorp's company of the Ist Dragoons, which f f o ro re m e a C t a t h h i e r, eo s m o m t a h o a d t o th f e t r h e is the authorities, a large ritiee, lod d le sp g o c sa e b p le . T th w e oo'cloc were' hoorall en greagmeadinisa tranquil, co nciu n i i w c t. it — h exceptionk: Up to of asli t g hi h s t affair got up by a number of women who assembled on the quay, where a quantity of wheat was shipping on board a vessel called the Anne, of Liverpool, from the stores of Mr. J. Donnell. Having thrown the plank by which the men entered the vessel with the corn into the sea, they refused to permit the shipment to be proceeded with. In Youghal the greatest order and decorum exist, and the town is placarded with handbills calling on the people to maintain peace and order, and promising that adequate employment will be provided for them; also informing them that large imports of Indian corn are daily expected from America, which, on arrival, will have a depressing influence on the markets. Between Youghal and Killeagh several new roads have already been struck out, and hundreds of labourers are actively employed thereon, so that affairs wear a more cheering aspect than at the commencement of last week. Indian meal still maintains a very high price, being Is. 10d. per stone in Dungarvan.—Cork Reporter. The Ballyshannon Herald contains the following par ticulars of the disturbance in Sligo:-- "We have this morning received a communication from our Sligo correspondent, which gives a frightful account of the state of that town; he states that on Monday last a vast crowd of the peasantry assembled in town, and walked through the streets in a menacing manner. As a large quantity of cakes was conveying to a shop of Mr. Martin's, they were rushed on and speedily devoured. They then went from one baker's shop to another, and carried off the contents of each. As Mr. Moses Monds' bread cart was passing with bread to his retailers, it was attacked and speedily emptied. Several provision stores were also plundered. On Tues day they again paraded the streets with a long pole, and a loaf suspended from it—they took some bread, &c.— and separated early. On Wednesday they again assem bled, but the mayor had arrangements made to prevent outrage, and they peacefully dispersed. The landed proprietors are using every effort to give employment to the working classes; and many of those who assembled as if wanting work have constant employment if they choose to work, but they prefer plunder to industry. How such things will end no one can tell." Respecting the county of Cavan, the Anglo- Celt, a Conservative paper, contains the following:— " There is too large a number, we regret to think, of outcasts from society, who, under the cognomen of Molly Maguires,' assume a power over a misguided portion of the peasantry, which enables them, through the sym pathy of some and the fear of others, to perpetrate their crimes with impunity. These itinerant ruffians make the existing distress an excuse for their acts of violence ; and although we can positively state that their illegal conduct is not by any means the result of the lamentable sufferings of the poor, but, on the contrary, of their own depravity, we fear that unless vigorous measures be at once resorted to, their depredations will become so nu merous and daring as to assume an insurrectionary cha racter. The police should at present be particularly vigilant at fairs, markets, &c.,as the fact that the offences we complain of are generally perpetrated immediately subsequent to such gatherings leads us to think that they are oftenest concocted there. The best possible proof (if, indeed, proof were wanting) that the resident peasantry of this county do not participate in these offences, is to be found in the accounts of robberies, wherein it is clearly evident that it is the poorer class themselves who are the sufferer's." STATE OF TIPPERARY. The Tipperary Vindicator of this day contains the following : " MYSTERIOUS AND AWFUL MURDER.—It is our sad duty to record one of the mcst mysterious, and at the same time one of the most atrocious murders, of which this county his been the theatre for a long period, and which was perpetrated in the broad noon of Wednesday, on the person of a singularly inoffensive man, near Kil garvan, the residence of that excellent country gentle man, Solomon Cambie, Esq. The deceased, William Latchford, and a man of the name of Hogan, were going home from Kilgarvan about a quarter past twelve o'clock at noon. Latchford had been for some years gatekeeper at Belle Vue, the residence of Edward Biggs, Esq., and he was employed also as tutor by some of the neigh bouring gentry, and, in fact, was returning from giving lessons at Kilgarvan at the usual hour, on the day he met his dismal death at the hands of the ruthless as sassin. He had gone on for some time, when Hogan went a short way before him, and soon afterwards a man jumped out of a lane which was near, and asked him (Latchford) what hour of the day it Was. Latchford at once told him, and no sooner had he done so than the villain, who asked the hour, raised with both hands a quarter-staff or spade handle, struck it violently across the back part , of Latchford's neck, and instantly knocked him down. When down the atrocious mis creant hit the prostrate poor man two other dreadful blows across the left temple, which deprived him of all consciousness, and at ten o'clock the same night of life. The murderer walked off in tha most deliberate manner; no clue has been discovered as to the cause of the murder. Latchford was not only in no way connected with land, but he was looked upon as one of the most obliging and quiet individuals in the entire neighbourhood, and was greatly regarded by the country people generally, as well as by the gentry. That he could have been mistaken for an obnoxious person at the time is scarcely probable—we do not deem it pos sible. It was broad *noon, the sun shining strongly; the ruffian who accosted him went quite close to bis person, and, if he had ever seen him before, could not be mistaken as to his identity. Hence the mystery that pervades this most frightful crime, which has created a deep sensation of disgust and horror far and wide. After the inquest upwards of two.hundred of the neigh bouring people proceeded to the house where the body lay, and by their sobs and tears and loud lamentations showed how deeply they deplored the cruel fate of poor Latchford. It is sincerely to be hoped, for the sake of humanity, that no time shall be lost in looking out for PRICE SD. and in discovering the perpetrator of this desperate deed of blood, which, we trust, shall soon meet with its merited punishment. A verdict of ' Wilful murder against some person unknown' was returned by the jury." - ATTACK ON MISS GLEESON, OF NEWTON.—An armed party, consisting of seven or eight men, proceeded on Thursday night, about twelve o'clock, to the residence of Miss Gleeson, of Newton, within four miles of Nenagh, in the direction of Portroe ; atter very con siderable exertions they obtained an entrance into the house, by breaking in all the windows, and then thrust ing in and exhibiting their fire-arms, which so alarmed the inmates that a male servant of the house, and the brother-in-law of Miss Gleeson, a man of the name of Mara, abandoned the position they occupied in endeavouring to keep the door closed, when the Terry Alts immediately secured an entrance, on which they beat Mara severely—broke every article of furniture and delf in the house, and observed that, if "Miss Glee son did not deal fairly by her brother, they would kill all when next they came." They then decamped. It appear that Miss Gleeson and her brother, Mr. Michael Gleeson, have not been on good terms for some time in consequence of the latter having been ejected from a large farm which the form at present tenants. HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—BIRR, OCT. 1. Mr. Neville, clerk of petty sessions, was met on Wednesday night, as he was driving into town accompanied by his wife, by three men, who demanded that he should stand and deliver what money he had in his possession. He gave them all he had about him, namely, seven shillings. They then demanded his watch, which he also handed them, when the fellows decamped. There is but one opinion entertained here, that if the Government do not hasten on the execution of public works that have been presented for at the last sessions, and employ the people, the laws will be set at open defiance, and property will lose its value. ATTACKS AT CAPPARITE.—An armed parts , attacked the house of a man named Dwyer, at Capparue, on Wednesday night, and after posting sentinels on the doors of two houses in the immediate vicinity, effected an entrance ; when they searched for Dwyer, who, it seems, has become obnoxious on account of land he has been warned about, but not•finding him, they fired a blunder buss at two men who were in the house, one of whom they wounded in a shocking manner, the other partially escaping. After leaving a message for Dwyer, which it were difficult not to understand, they went off. DRAWING-ROOM CLOCKS. AB.

CLARK'S PATENT SPERM OIL, only 55. per imperial gallon, is bright as crystal in the coldest weather, and lasts longer than real sperm. It burns in all descriptions of Argand Lamps. The great expense of Sperm Oil, and the trouble of common oils, can now be dispensed wish at pleasure. It is admirably suited for Solar Lamps, as they will not want cleaning for years, and being so pure, four gallons go as far as flue gallons of any common oils ; so, in reality, Clark's Patent Sperm Oil is cheapest. Families laying in their stock of Spermaceti or Wax Candles, Soaps, Lee. Lee., will positively save 20 per cent. is their outlay. This is no fiction, and this system of equitable charges the public will support. Samples sent in London, and list of prices, with description of the patent article, sent on application to all parts of the world.

Mr. Erichsen took the chair, and after wards delivered the introductory medical address to a very full court. From the report of Mr. J. Wilson, th e secretary, it appears that since the establishment of the Westminster Hospital, in 1719, it has afforded the re quired relief to upwards of 323,000 patients. During the past year the number of in-patients amounted to 1,580, having, since the establishment of the hospital, progressively increased from 771 annually to that num ber; the -out-patients were upwards of 8,400, of which it is stated 5,689 were accidents and urgent cases, ad mitted without letters of recommendation at all hours. The number of inmates at present maintained is 1 64 ; namely, 77 males, and 87 females. Four wards, capable of receiving 60 more patielts, are now vacant, in conse quence of the financial position of the charity not justi fying the governors re-opening them. IMPORTANT LETTER FROM LORD JOHN RUSSELL. The Cork Examiner of yesterday, in publishing a cor respondence in reference to the establishment of a naval station at Cove, says:— " A letter, a second letter, has been received by Lord Bandon from Lord John Russell, in which the most im portant announcement is made. It will be sufficient to lay before the public a sketch of its contents. " His Lordship states that although the Lords of the Admiralty have not, as yet, made an official report on the subject-matter of the memorial emanating from the late meeting of the inhabitants of the county and city of Cork, their Lordships have expressed themselves in favour of making Cove a naval establishment. . " The establishing of an arsenal was a measure de pendent altogether on public policy, and the necessity of undertaking such a work. " But the Lords of the Admiralty require depots, storage for coals, and supplies for steamers ; and their object in rendering Cove a naval establishment would be for advantages of that description, and for the prepara tion and repair of machinery in connexion with the steam navy of Great Britain. " His Lordship further states, that a competent sur veyor would be dispatched instantly to ascertain if a proper site for such depot and establishment could be had in the harbour of Cork • and that if his report were favourable, immediate emp loyment would be given in the rough labour of earthwork and excavation—so much needed at this moment ; and that such employment would be given without- waiting for formal plans and estimates. " In conclusion, Lord John Russell states that he and his colleagues are actuated by the strongest feelings of sympathy for the Irish people under their present dis tress, and the sincerest desire to meet the wishes ex pressed in the memorial of the inhabitants of the county and city of Cork." - _ PUBLIC , WORKS. The following important circular has been issued : " Relief Department, Office of Public Works; September 29th, 1846. " Sir,—l am directed by the Commissioners to re• quest you will inform me whether in making your re commendation for works in the different baronies of a district, you formed any calculation of the length of time the works proposed by you would employ the people. It is most important that information on this head should be supplied to the Commissioners, that they may know how to act. " At present it is desirable that no more works should be undertaken than will be sufficient to employ the desti tute for three months, before which time (if necessary) the sessions may. be re-assembled, but there can be no objection to recommend the commencement of a new road, the cost for completing which may amount to, say 2,0001., your 'present recommendation being confined to the ordinary drainage and fencing, leaving the metalling and bridges for a future time.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, "JOSEPH C. WALKER, Secretary. " County Surveyor." THE MAYO DEPUTATION.—The Tyrawley Herald, a Conservative paper, contains the following :—" The Mai (pis of Sligo, Lord Lucan, Sir Richard O'Donel, Colonel Gore, and the High Sheriff, have returned from London, where they were graciously received by Lord John Russell. His Lordship expressed much concern for the people of this country, and freely conversed with the deputation on the extent of destitution in it, and the modes best calculated to relieve the existing distress and prevent its recurrence. In Dublin, also, the deputation met with every enc ouragement f rom t h e E ar l of Besbo rough, whose appointment to the government of Ireland has proved a great blessing. Being an Irishman— prudent, sympathising, kind, and generous—he has gained the good wishes of all, which, we trust, his future conduct will never afford occasion to alter. A LANDLORD IN CAVAN. The Weekly Regi.ster contains the following startling statement. If correct, it is a terrible exhibition at such a time:— " A magistrate and deputy-lieutenant of Cavan took his departure from his splendid mansion a few days past and scarcely bad his carriage lett the county when his agent sent a bailiff to the the tenants on the estate, no ticing them to pay their'rent. The property in question consists in general of small farms, whose average extent is not above six acres, and it is well known through the county that, though the proprietor has an unencumbered property, and is a large fundholder, the estate is far from being in arrear. The poor tenants remonstrated at the harshness of this proceeding, urging that they had not threshed their corn, and the potato being now quite out, they would be obliged to bold over their little oats to find their families. The trusty minion stated he had been directed either to seize, putting on keepers at ss. a day, and a like sum per night, or else to take at a valuation a quantity of the unthreshed oats equal to the rent, and stack it at the mansion farm-yard. The latter expedient has in many cases been resorted to, and the little corn intended for the support of the unfortunate small farmer's family is stored within the princely de mesne of the landlord. Is this a Christian land, or do we only profess Christianity 7" THE RIOTS IN DUNGARVAN.—On Thursday the fol lowing persons were committed to the county gaol for being in the late riots at Dungarvan ; they are to stand their trial at the :coming quarter-sessions to be held in Dungarvan this month :—Michael Neil, Michal Brennen, M. Terry, Pat. Power, Maurice Crotty, Thomas Roache, David Roache, and William Barron. They were escorted by a strong body of police, and some of the Scotch Greys also accompanied them.— Waterford Chronicle. ANOTHER FATAL RAILWAY AC CIDENT.—It is again our melancholy duty to record another fatal acci dent upon the railway, which occurred about nightfall on Thursday last. The sufferer in this instance wat named John Archer, a native of Norfolk, but better known in company of his fellow-workmen under the cognomen of " Seedy Jack." At the time above stated he was in the act of detaching some heavily laden earth waggons on the incline on the Kendal and Windermere line, in the immediate vicinity of Parkside. Having placed himself between the buffers in order to unloosen the chain, the waggons unexpectedly moved forward, dreadfully crushing his abdomen and the small of his back as the buffers came in contact. He was im mediately removed from this dangerous position, but alas! he had received the stroke of death. On being conveyed to his lodgings in Allhallows-lane, Mr. Brum well, surgeon, was in attendance, but his aid was abor tive. The deceased is represented to have been a young man of higher moral bearing than is usually found in the ranks of railway labourers, and in some instances, it is said, his piety was exemplary when those around were giving utterance to language below Christian notice.— Kendal Illercu, .y. FATAL ACCIDENT TO MAJOR BEVAN.—We have this day to record another of those melancholy gun ac cidents arising from the want of sufficient caution with regard to loaded fire-arms. On Wednesday evening, as Major Bevan, of this city, was returning from a shoot ing excursion on a car with three other gentlemen near his father-in-law's, Mr. Brew, of Wildbrooke, county of Clare, he had his loaded fowling-piece with the butt end resting on the footboard, and the barrels between his legs, while he was smoking a cigar. By some accident or other the fowling-piece was slipping off the car, and he stooped forward to snatch it, when the hammer, which was unfortunately down, coming in contact with the footboard, one of the barrels exploded, and the con tents passed upwards into the cavity of the chest, carry ing away a portion of the heart, and proceeding between the sternum and lungs, came out under the windpipe, and entering again under the chin went through the head. He had only time to say " Stop ; 0 God ! lam shot," and falling forward he vomited a quantity of blood, and immediately expired without a groan. The remains were conveyed to Mr. Brew's. Here was a veteran soldier who had been 30 years in India, escaped all the chances of battle, and well knew the use of fire arms, yet now, in the evening of his days, fell from want of caution by his own hand. He is the author of a very interesting work "Field Sports in India."..—Limerick Repot ter. NAT-1 -<--- YELLI, IN GENCE. V THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. PORTSMOT3TH, Our. 3.—By the arrival of the Maria Soames transport, Lieutenant Boys, agent ; Mr. William King, master, which anchored at Spithead yesterday afternoon, we have advices from Simon's Bay 14 days later than those last received (to the 21st of Jul}) from that port.. Her dates are, from Colombo, 10th of February; Trincomalee, 12th of March; Mauritius, 22d of June; Cape of Good Hope, August 4; St. Helena, August 20; and Ascension August 29. She reports affairs at the Cape to be rapidly pro gressing towards the restoration of tranquillity. The arrival of the 45th Regiment, from the River Plate, in the Resistance troop-ship, Captain Patey, ( 41 the Ist of August, would reinforce Sir Peregrine Mait land most materially, and serve to relieve some of the Burgher forces, more especially as the 73d were also expected at the Cape in a week in the Apollo, from Monte Video. The 45th were detained at Cape Town by the Acting-Governor until clothing could be pro cured for them, their long absence from England and rough work in the River Plate having made them pre sent a very sorry appearance. As soon as they could be equipped they were to be sent to the frontier. Sir Peregrine Maitland, the Governor, was on the frontier well supported; the Kafirs had retreated before him, but he expected to come up with them in about forty-eight hours. The inhabitants of the towns and commercial districts had recovered from their alarm, and business was pro gressing towards a healthy re-establishment. Provisions were also somewhat more reasonable than they were by the last advises. Commander Inglefield, late flag lieutenant to his father Rear-Admiral Inglefi e ld, C omman d er -i n -Chi e f in the River Plate, and promoted for his gallantry in the action of Obliged°, proceeded to the Cape in the Resist ance, as did Commander Boyle, appointed to command the Thunderbolt steam-sloop, vice Broke, promoted. The intelligence from the Cape, by the Maria Soames, does not confirm the report of the death of Commander Sir Cornwallis Ricketts, Bart., of the Helena sloop. That officer's death was merely " reported " when the Maria Soames left. The crew and officers of the Helena had, however, been very ill, and but few able to do duty. The Conway, 26, Captain Kelly, was reported to be in a similar unfortunate state. Rear-Admiral Dacres had summoned all his squadron to join him at the Mauritius, intending to make a dis play at Madagascar. The following are the forces thus summoned;—The Conway, 26, Captain Kelly; the Cleo patra, 26, Captain Wyvil ; the Helena, 16, Commander Sii' Cornwallis Ricketts, Bart.; the Snake, 16, Com mander Brown ; the Childers, 12, Commander Pitman (which sailed on the 4th of August, en route for Sydney); and the Thunderbolt steam-sloop, under the temporary command of Flag-Lieutenant Belgrave, of the President, 50, Captain Stanley. Commander Gambier, in the Sappho, 16, was left at Simon's Bay, as senior officer. The French had assembled a force of 1,500 troops on an island about 180 miles north of Madagascar, prepara tory, it was expected, to some aggressive operations • against that island. There was no man-of-war at St. Helena at the above date. From Ascension, however, the news is good; dysen tery, which had so long prevailed in the island, was rapidly declining; indeed, the island might be said to be generally healthy. The squadron on the coast of Africa was thus distri buted on the 29th of August:— The Actaeon, 26, Captain Mansel, senior officer, who had arrived a few days prior from Sierra Leone and the Gallines; the Tortoise store and guard-ship, Corn mender Morrell, and the Cygnet, 6, Commander Mon tresor (who had superseded Commander Layton), were at Ascension; the Cygnet in such an unserviceable state that it was expected a survey would send her to Eng land. The Bittern, 16, Commander Hope, had gone to the sonthern division of the station. The Larne, 18, Commander Brisbane, was off Ka benda. The Wasp, 16, Commander Ussher ' was hourly ex pected at Ascension on her way to England, to be paid off. The Kingfisher, 12, Commander Horton, was at Loango. The Espoir, 10, Commander Hand, was off Benguela, at which place she relieved the Cygnet. The Favourite, 18, Commander Murray, had gone to the River Pougas. The Ferret, 8, Commander Sprigg, was at Sea-bar. The Lily, 16, Commander Newton, was`at the Pougas. The Rapid, 10, Commander Galwey, was at Benguela. The Alert, 6, Commander Ellis, was at the Gallinas. The Nimrod, 2 0 , Commander Dacres, had just pre viously left Cape Mount on acruise. The Star, 16, Commander Hockin, was at Sestos. The Hydra steam-sloop, Commander Young; the Flying Fish, 12, Commander Dyke; and the Ranger, 6, Commander Anderson, were cruising in the Bights of Benin. The Styx steam-sloop was healthy, and was on a cruise under her new commander, Chads. The Hecate steam-sloop, Commander West, was on a cruise. She had lost two of her officers, the master and gunner ; the former, Mr. Fox, from coup de soleil, and the latter, Mr. Davidson, from imprudently remaining in his wet clothes after being overboard. The Rolla, 10, Commander Simpson, was at the Cape de Verde Islands. The Pantaloon, 10, Commander Douglas ; the Pro metheus steam-sloop, Commander Hay ; the Sealark, 10, Commandor Gooch ; the. Wanderer, 16, Commander Somerville ; and the Water Witch, 8, Commander Birch, are cruising about in search of slavers. The Contest, 12, Commander M`Murdo, had not ar rived on the station from England. The following officers came home in the Maria SoaMes : Major Wortham, Royal Engineers, and family ; Commander Inglefield, RN. ; Commander Layton, R.N. ; Dr. Sloggett, late of the Penelope, in charge of the invalids from the coast of Africa squa dron ; Dr. and Mrs. Eager and family ; Dr. and Mrs. Bynoe ; Mr. Kemp, second master of the Actaeon, in valided. She also brought 37 invalids of the 99th Light Infantry from Ceylon, and 23 invalids from the squadron on the coast of Africa. Four deaths occurred on the passage home from natural causes. This is the trans port which encountered a severe hurricane in her pas sage from Colombo to the Mauritius, with part of the 90th Regiment on board, when a melancholy loss of life among the troops took place. She would have foundered on that occasion but for the most praiseworthy exertions of the soldiers, who completely wore out the pumps by their exertions to keep the ship afloat. Lieutenant V. 0. Inglefield, of the Vernon (acting), had been appointed Third Lieutenant of the Comns, in the Parana, vice Brickdale, killed in action. A court-martial is ordered to assemble to-morrow morning, at nine o'clock, on board the Victory, to try First Lieutenant Charles G. Crawley, of the Avenger steam-frigate, for an offence, the penalty for the convic tion upon which is, according to the 29th Article of War, nothing short of death. The Windermere, from Van Diemen's Land, arrived from the River yesterday, and to•day embarked Captain Sir William Denison, Royal Engineers, the newly-ap pointed Governor of the above settlement, family, and suite. The Comet steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Johnston, arrived at Westport, Ireland, on the 30th ult., from Galway. She landed from her boats ten boxes of specie, each containing 5001. sterling, to assist in the relief of the prevailing distress. The invalids brought by the Maria Scames were put on board the Victory to-day. The Rochester navy lighter sailed yesterday for Devon port with stores. The Lively navy lighter sailed yesterday with stores for Woolwich. The Drake navy lighter arrived to-day from Sheer ness and Chatham with stores. WooLwicli, OCT. 4.—The Black Eagle steam-vessel, Master Commander S. B. Cook, after landing her Royal Highness the Princess William of Prussia at Rotterdam, proceeded to Ostend to convey the Princess of Saxe Weimar to England, and her Serene Highness arrived at Woolwich Dockyard at half past one o'clock P.M. to-day. Die state of the tide being favourable, the Elack Eggle -teamer was enabled to come alongside the wharf wall, and her Serene Highness was received and conducted on shore by Captain Henderson, C. 8., of her Majesty's steam frigate Sidon, and Commander Smith, of the Wil liam and Mary yacht. One of the Queen Dowager's royal carriages was in waiting in the dockyard, with several members of her Majesty the Queen Dowager's suite, in other carriages, to attend her Serene Highness to Marlborough House. The Scourge bomb steam-vessel, Commander Caffin, is to be taken into the basin at Woolwich, to have some defects made good, which will occupy thd workmen four or five days. She will then proceed to Chatham, and embark the depot of the 46th Regiment at that port, and convey them to Guernsey, where they are to be stationed. The Scourge will embark the depot of the 27th Regiment at Guernsey, and convey them to Ports mouth. The Acheron steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commander Dunlop, will leave Woolwich to-morrow for Portsmouth, where she will be paid in advance. The Blenheim, 72 guns, fitting as a block ship, will have her machinery, constructed by Messrs. Seaward and Capel, put on board to-morrow in the East India Dock, where she is at present. She will be taken out of do the dock on the following day (Tuesday), and towe t Wigram and Co's establishment, to be fitted with her screw propeller and have the o ther necessar y alterations , completed. n has t offe MicuLAFT.'s Mot:am — lt is rumoured among the diM , rent t hat our most cj g r r c ac ies io o u f s strndiebtyeloinvetdheSowveesrtei f this county, re offered 55,000 E for St Michaels Mount, but that the sum asked i s 75,000/.

SUBSCRIPT ION FOR MATTIIEWSON AND COOKE.—To British citizens who stand not in awe of military des . potism, it remains to rescue Matthewson from a repitition ~t• that horrible outrage of which his person still bears the indelible marks, by purchasing his discharge. We perceive that a subscription has already been set on foot for that purpose, coupling with it, also, the purchase of the discharge of private Cooke. The fund required is 501. ; and though contributions have already been re ceived by the Treasurer, Mr. G. Walter, the Blue Posts, Shoe-lane, Fleet-street, the sum realised isyet inadequate for the benevolent, humane, and Christian purpose c-n -templated. The case admits of no delay— a few hours and the ladder may be fixed to receive the manacled form of the victim—the trumpets may again sound for "punishment"—the cats may again be in the hands of the farriers—the lash may again do its work, and the remains of Matthewson be laid along with those of his late comrade White in the depths of their nlother earth. Let not a moment then be lost in affording the means, trifling as they are, for rescuing another victim from the calendu of military pimislimenta.—sunduy paper.
