IRELAND. EMPLOYMENT OF THE PEOPLE—COMMENCE MENT OF THE MEETINGS CONVENED BY THE LORD-LIEUTENANT. DUBLIN, SEPT. 16.—The first of the baronial meet ings convened by the Lord-Lieutenant, under the La bour Rate Act, was held on Monday last, in the barony of Upper Ormond, in the north riding of Tipperary; and, all things, considered, the proceedings may be considered satisfactory. There was no attempt on the part of the magistrates or landholder, with an exception scarcely worth naming, to oppose or evade the Act, although it is now admitted that the law is not com pulsory as regards the passing of presentments for works at the sessions. There is something hopeful in the cir cumstance that, even in Tipperary, the Act has been put into operation with a disposition on the part of the gentry to co-operate with the Government at so awful in emergency. As this was the first meeting held under the Act, and as the subject is one of such vast importance, we subjoin the report of the proceedings which appears in the Tipperary Vindicator : " Monday, pursuant to the proclamation of his Ex cellency the Earl of Besborough, an extraordinary pre sentment sessions for the barony of Upper Ormond was held at Toomevara, for the purpose of applying for the execution of public works under the recent Act of Par liament, to provide employment for the people now threatened with the worst horrors of famine, which it is ardently hoped the timely intervention of the Executive will award off, aided by the co-operation of the magis trates, clergy, and cess-payers of the country. As this was the first meeting under the new Act, intense in terest was felt about its result. The national school house of the village in which the meeting was held was crowded to suffocation, whilst eager crowds of the pea santry gathered around the building, and betrayed by appearance the great desire by which they were actuated to become acquainted with the proceedings. It was delightful in the e x t reme t o w it ness t h e alacrity with which the magistrates obeyed the proclamation of his Excellency. The attendance on their part was numerous and influential—the patience which they manifested was exceedingly creditable—the spirit by which they seemed to be actuated was most praiseworthy; and the unani mity—with one exception—which characterised them throughout the important day, was witnessed with the most pleasing sensations. The clergy, Catholic and Pro testant, mustered in great numbers, and vied with each other in unanimity and zeal for the bests interests of the poor; whilst the cess-payers were also present in num bers. At half-past twelve o'clock, J. J. Willington, Esq., J.P., was called to the chair. "The other magistrates present were:—R. U. Bayly, Esq., Ballinaclough; George Garvey, Esq.; John Car den, Esq., Barnane; A. Walker, Esq., Nena,gh; R. M. Carden, Esq.; Captain Butler and Major Jackson. Mr. Miller from the Board of Works attended. The cess payers present were:—Messrs. John Meagher, Michael Meagher. George Rya,ll, John Dagg, E. Parker, and Henry Smithwick. The Roman Catholic and Pro testant clergymen present were :—The Rev. John Meagher, P.P., Toomevara; Rev. Henry Keary, P.P., Killeen; Rev. Edward Magrah, P.P., Silvermines; Rev. Nicholas Power, C.C., Nenagh; Rev. Mr. Scanlan, Ballygibbon ; and Rev. Mr. Molony, C.C., Toomevara ; Rev. Mr. Fry, sen., Protestant rec tor ; Rev. Mr. Fry, jun. ; Rev. Mr. Jordan, P. R., Cloughjorclan ; and the Rev. Mr. Stoney. Messrs. J. P. Kennedy, Ballyhane ; John Hunt, Hunt's Grove ; W. Kennedy, Glenahilty Castle ; Dr. Kennedy, Nenagh, Middleton, Elm Hill ; John Dwyer, Kilnefinch ; F. E. Young, Ballygibbon ; D. E. Young, Ballygibbon ; and Michael O'Brien, Lisbonny. " The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings of the day by stating that they were assembled that day pursuant to the proclamation of the Lord-Lieutenant, and under the provision of the 10th Vic., for the purpose of grant ing public works to give employment to the labouring poor of the barony of Upper Ormond, and any gentle man present that had any application to make for a work, he (the chairman) would be happy to hear him. But before proceeding any further he should wish to know what was to be done with the works unfinished or not commenced, granted under the Ist Vic. " Mr. CRA.WFORD, RN., surveyor—The amount which remains on hand must go to the completion of them. " Captain BUTLER—Are there many of those works under the Ist Vic. remaining unfinished? " Mr. CRAWFORD—There are many. " Major JACKSON—Is there a balance on hand to finish them? " Mr. CRAWFORD—There is, but it is not sufficient. " After some conversation, "Mr. BAYLY—I beg leave to propose that we apply to the Treasury for 750/ in addition to the 4501. granted under the Ist Vic., to complete these works already com menced under Ist Vic. which were fiated at the present ment sessions, and approved of by the Board of Works, to give employment to the labouring poor of the barony of Upper Ormond. " Mr. GARVEY—I second your proposition. "The CHAIRMAN having put Mr. Bayly's proposition from the chair, it was passed nem. eon. "Mr. G. RYALL —Gentlemen, you must give the peo ple work besides the filling of dykes and the lowering of hills.—(Hear, hear.) "Captain BUTLER—To be sure we will. " CHAIRMAN—I want to know whether those roads appointed under Ist Vic. will be finished forthwith ? " Mr. CARDEN—According as they are necessary. " CHAIRMAN—I know that many relief committees or persons under their care, gave employment to persons who did not require it, while others who were actually starving would not or could not get any employment from them. That was a very unfair mode of dealing. " Major JACKSON—That shall not be the case now. The country must get a fair return of labour for its money. There must be a fair day' hire fur a fair day's work. " Mr. SMITHwICK—You must grant works on a very large scale to give the people employment who are suf fering extreme want at this moment, at least in my neigh bourhood, " Mr. GARVEY—I beg to ask the county surveyor one question, which is, what is to be done with those roads not finished, and with the others not commenced, all of which passed under the Ist Vic., at the Extraordinary Presentment Sessions, and were approved of by the Board of Works ? " Mr. CRAwFoRD—When we get the amount applied for from the Treasury, we will complete all the works not finished. " Here the subject in reference to the unfinished works executed under Ist Vic. terminated. " The Rev. Mr. MEAGHER proposed the making or the construction of the Gurtnagarry, or Mr. Lanigan's (of Templemore) new line of road. " The magistrates were afraid that the occupiers of land we old claim compensation if the road were to run through their property. " The Rev. Mr. MEAGHER could assure them on the part of Mr. Lanigan that he would ask for no damages, that he would claim no compensation for the road run ning through his property—(Hear, hear)—and he was sure neither would Mr. Faucitt. " Mr. BAYLY—Then I propose that 4501. be granted for the execution of the road, provided that Mr. Lanigan and Mr. Faucitt will claim no compensation for damages. "Captain BUTLER—I propose as an amendment that the road do pass, and that the compensation for damages be left to their honour. " The amendment was carried, and the road passed. " Mr. MlDDLETON—Gentlemen, I beg leave to apply for the sum of 4136/. 14s. 7d., to lower the bed of the river at Tiermoyle. " Mr. GARvEY—I think this is a work that deserves very serious consideration, and should be carried on under the Drainage Act. " Mr. MIDDLEToN—In my proposition I do not seek for the drainage of lands at all; I seek for the employ ment of the poor; and I can have witnesses examined as to the usefulness of the work. "Mr. BAYLY—I should like to know what portion of the 1,136/. would fall on the barony? " Mr. MIDDLETON—I am not prepared to answer that question. Major JACKSON—Then we are not prepared to pass the work. "Mr. MIDDLETON—This work passes through or near to the estates of the Hon. Mrs. Otway Cave and Lord Orkney. " Captain BUTLER—These are the very persons who ought to do the work them Selves. " Mr. MIDDLETON—I beg your pardon, they are not. "Mr. E. TAYLOR—I will say, on the part of the lion. Mrs. Otway Cave, that she will give 100/. towards the performance of the work.—(Hear, hear.) " Mr. GALWAY—And Lord Orkney will give the same sum. " Captain BUTLER—I would say to my Lord Orkney, to my Lord Bloomfield, and to the Hon. Mrs. Otway Cave, come and live amongst us here in Toomevara, and drain and cultivate your lands, and give the people em ployment.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. GARVEY—Why, they can't live everywhere. "Captain BUTLER—But, they are Irish, and ought to live in Ireland.—(Loud applause from all parts of the house.) " Mr. BAYLY—The Hon. Mrs. Otway Cave is now living amongst her tenantry in Castle Otway. " Captain BUTLER—They should all live in Ireland and not in England.—(Cheers.) Mr. M. MEAGIIER—We-should return our heartfelt thanks, at all events, to the Hon. Mrs. Otway Cave, fur her exemplary charity and generosity towards her people at all times.—(Cheers.) Captain BUTLER—And many noble Lords should have followed her example.—(" Hear," and applause.) " After some further conversation, the CHAIRMAN put 31r. Middleton's proposal, which was negatived by all the magistrates. '• The Rev. Mr. STONEY—I rise to propose the making of the next work, which will give great employment to the poor—it will give an extensive scope for work; it won't be limited to the repairing of old roads, or to these little paltry jobs of lowering hills.—( Laughter.) This work will extend for over a milt) ; it will improve an exten3ive district °Nand, and reclaim about two hundred acres of bog.—(llear, hear.) You come here with the liberal view of giving employment to the poor, and you ought, according to the instructions of Govern ment, to adopt some works that will be permanently useful, and that will diffuse universal employment amongst the poor of the barony.—([fear, hear, and ap plause.) Why, to-morrow or next day we won't want any of thQsa old roads on which you are now exßending money, because we will have the railways iu furl ope ration through the country.—(Hear, hear.) What you ought to do is, to propose the making of canals. " Captain BUTLER : The present canals don't pay. " Rev. P. STONEY—Pass same works that will be a permanent benefit to the country—that will last during your lives, during the lives of your children, and during the lives of your children's children.—(Hear, hear, and I, lud laughter.) This application was granted. • " The Rev. Mr. MEAGHER, P.P., proposed the making of a now line of road which opens at Annamede, goes on to th e cross of Blanc, and out at Gurtagarry. The Rev. Gents 'email said—lt is a road of great public utility, and THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 19, 1846. opens a much-required communication to the farmers of the district, who are hemmed in on an island at present without it. " Mr. CARDEN, of Barnane, rose and said—l oppose this road on every score; first, as there is a road between Templemore and Nenagh, and secondly, as there is a new road of Mr. Lanigan's near the same place where you propose to make this. " Rev. Mr. MEAGHER—This new road of Mr. Lani gan's has nothing to do with it whatever. " Mr. MICHAEL MEAGHER—And to meet Mr. Car den's objection, I say it is not a road leading to Ne nagh. " Mr. CARDEN--It is a road to Nenagh. You have forgotten, I suppose, the Templemore Railway. I do think to make three miles of a road to shorten a distance between Templemore and Nenagh is perfectly absurd. "yr. GARVEY—Why, that is not the proposition at all. " Mr. CARDEN—I have told you that I would oppose the making of this road on every score. Then, as to the dearth of employment in that district, I can tell you, on the contrary, I wanted men and could not find them, and I had to advertise for them. This morning I met a number of men on the road. I told them if they went to my steward at Barnano they would g et plenty of task work, at whi c h th e y wou ld ear n 14d. aday, which is re munerative wages. And what did they tell me? That they would not go three miles off to work. And in this district you propose the making of a new road. I think it is the greatest absurdity I ever heard of.—(" Oh, oh.") " Rev. Mr. MEAGHER—You have said nothing about the cess-payers and rate-payers ; when they pay heavy taxes, have they not a right to have a road ? Now, will you answer me that simple question ? " Mr. CARDEN (apparently puzzled)—The road has been several times before the grand jury. " Rev. Mr. MEAGHER—Never. " Mr. CARDEN—I will show you that this road in the neighbourhood of Toomevara was brought before the grand jury. " Rev. Mr. MEAGHER—I repeat again never'— (Loud cries of Hear, hear')—and I defy any gentleman on the grand jury to say so.—(Hear.) " Mr. G. RYALL—I have endeavoured during the last fifteen years to get this road made, but it never came be fore the grand jury. I say there is not a road in the county of Tipperary more wanting. " Rev. Mr. MEAGHER—I think it is a most ungracious thing of you, Mr. Carden, to come forward to make the statement you have made. " Mr. GARDEN (with vehemence)—l'll state my opi nions. " Mr. GARVEY—Hear hear. "Mr. CARDEN- And l will permit no person for a moment to put me down in the slightest degree by talk- ing to me about any ungraciousness. " Mr. RILLLL—I can positively say this road is of con siderable importance to the people of Toomevara, and that if they had this road made ten years ago I would have a dwelling house on my property. "Captain BUTLER—We aro assembled here to-day to show neither favour nor affection, hatred or malice. I am sorry to hear my old friend, Mr. Carden, say that the making of this road is a perfect absurdity.' I know myself the farmers to be completely locked up without this road. I can tell Mr. Carden that I have seen a starving population on the wild-looking hills and moun tains there. It was only this day that I saw men, women, and children half naked.—(Hear, hear.) " Mr. CARDEN—You may see a great many men idle, and they may say they have no employment; but I can tell you they don't wish to work, neither will you find many of them to do so.—(Cries of " Oh, oh.") " Rev. Mr. MEAGFIER—If I go out into the streets of Toomevara in the morniag, I will get 400 labouring poor who cannot procure employment, and who are ready and willing to work if they only got it.—(Hear, hear.) " The making of the new line of road was then passed at 1,000/., there being but one dissentient, Mr. Carden. " The Rev. Mr. POWER then proposed the making of a new line of road from Barrack-street to Silver-street, in Nenagh, the probable cost of which will be 2001. Also to lower the hill of Cunnerhart, at 2501 ; and to repair the road leading to Farnlough, the property of Mr. Ferrars, 401. " The applications were passed nem: con. " The magistrates, at five o'clock, announced that over 7,0001. had been awarded by them for the execution of public works in the barony of Upper Ormond during the day. and then rose." The Tipperary Vindicator thus remarks upon the proceedings, and it is evident that the gentry in the ba rony of Upper Ormond have still much to do in a dis trict presenting an ample field for profitable labour, be fore they shall have fully provided for the necessities of the population : " The patience and the anxiety to work out the pro visions of the Act of Parliament, and to obey the pro clamation of the Lord Lieutenant, which all exhibited, were, in every respect, worthy of the sacred cause of charity, and of all who took part in the all important and deeply interesting proceedings of the day. The ba rony of Upper Ormond contains about thirty thousand acres of land. No small share of this land is mountain and bog, which could be reclaimed with comparative fa cility. We know how vast the advantage, and great the return, such an application of labour and capital would be, and how much constant employment it would afford. The works undertaken on Monday, or rather applied for under the Act, though not of the most beneficial nature, are not without their practical advantages. The sum of 7,0001. was passed for them. They will give employ ment ; they will secure peace ; they will strengthen the confidence of, and they will provide food for the poor, just now on the verge of starvation, with the last potato con sumed by the mysterious blight which has laid waste our fairest fields. They will stimulate the industry of all cl asses ; they will tend to show the landlord, and the tenant, and the labourer, that they must put their shoulder to the wheel, and act as far as possible in concert, where the salvation of all from utter and irretrievable ruin is the great question at issue. We regret to state that the barony of Ikerrin has not yet been proclaimed. We know that the state of the poor in that barony is really lamentable. On Monday a vast crowd of almost famishing men paraded the streets of Roscrea, with a rotten potato and a loaf of bread on the top of separate poles. Their demand was work and wages ; they de clared their determination not to die without a struggle for existence." IMPORTANT MEETING IN SKIBBEREEN, The Cork Reporter of Tuesday contains the following : —" Yesterday (Monday) the Presentment Sessions called by the Lord-Lieutenant's proclamation under the late Act, was held in Skibbereen. The attendance of magistrates, landAl proprietors, farmers, and labourers, was most numerous. " The proceedings passed off in a harmonious spirit, and seventy-two presentments, involving an outlay of 40,000/., were agreed to. A discussion ensued as to the feasibility of constructing a line of railway from Bandon to Bantry, by presentment, aided by a grant, if it could be obtainal, as the best mode of employing the popu lation in a work of national benefit, and of a remunera tive character, and the following resolution was passed:— That a committee be appointed to meet and take into consideration the survey of the line of rail way now made between Bandon, Bantry, Skibbereen and Clonakilty, with a view of ascertainingits practicability of making a line of road by baronial presentments in conformity therewith, which may be available for the purpose of a railroad at a future period, and of reporting how far it would be reasonable to call on Government for assis ance: " of discount, all the bills of exchange by means of which the moneys have been remitted ; and although most of these bills were drawn at six months after sight, yet the directors of the Bank of Ireland, with a benevolence which commands respect, have ordered the full amount drawn for to be placed at the credit of the trustees, with out any banking reduction whatsoever. The fund thus so humanely placed at the disposal of the trustees has been distributed amongst about 350 local relief com mittees, to whom 639,700 destitute poor look for the means of being saved from the horrors of famine." ASSEMBLING OF PARLIAMENT IN NOVEMBER. T 6 Cork Reporter contains the important announce ment made to the Mallow and Doneraile deputation, by the private secretary of the Lord• Lieutenant, that Par liament is to be assembled in November, in order to remedy the defects in the Labour Rate Bill and to pro vide other effectual measures for the relief of distress in Ireland. LETTER FROM MR. O'CONNELL. The Evening Post contains the following from Derry nane:— " Darrynane Abbey, Cahirciveen, Sept. 14. " My dear Conway,—l have only this morning got the Labour Rate Act, and thus am able to state its pro visions accurately. lam the more anxious to do so, as my former statement of its contents was necessarily taken from the report of speeches in Parliament. " The Act provides that the Lord Lieutenant, upon being informed of the existence of distress in any dis trict, shall, by proclamation, direct and require an Ex traordinary Presentment Sessions' for such district. " This is mandatory upon the presentment sessions ; they are bound to meet on the day mentioned in the pro clamation, and they will be guilty of a violation of the law if they do not meet upon that day. " 2d. The presentment sessions having met, they are bound to make presentments for public works within their district. This clause, also, is mandatory. It would be a violation of the law if they were to refuse or neglect making such presentments. " 3d. The Lords of the Treasury are bound to advance all sums of money, without specified limit, to the amount necessary for the works included in such presentments. " 4th. The Board of Works are bound to put into execution the works so presented for without delay. " Such is an abstract of the operative part of the sta tute, as far as relates to public works. There are also provisions for the repayment, by instalments, of the money to be advanced for those works. "The repayment is not to commence until the next year, 1847, so that the landlords are, by the Act, left all their resources for the present year, untouched by the payment of any rate. . . . No specific remedy is given by the statute if the pre sentment sessions disobey the law, and refuse or neglect to make presentments. " Let it be recollected that if they so refuse or neglect —the existing distress in the district will remain, not only unrelieved and unmitigated, but naturally increas ing in intensity and severity. This will be so strong a pressure upon the presentment sessions, that it is not likely that they will anywhere refuse to make present ments, and by such refusal leave the starving labourers without relief. But, supposing any presentment sessions so to refuse, they are subject to legal compulsion as well as to punishment. " For example, the Act being mandatory on the pre sentment sessions, if they refuse to do that duty . , they are liable to be proceeded against, criminally, by indictment, or by criminal informations, at the prosecution of the Attorney-General. Besides, on application to the Queen's Bench, a mandamus would issue to compel the presentment sessions to make presentment according to law. I take it, that the cost of the proceedings would be visited on the defaulting presentment sessions. " It is, therefore, to the last degree improbable that any sessions will refuse to make presentments. " Let it be recollected that the one thing wanted at present is food; that the pressure for food is immediate; that the supplying of food cannot be postponed without the utmost inhumanity—nay, cannot be postponed with safety to any class. " Food the people want, and food it is the duty of everybody to provide for them: as well the Government as the landlords—in short, everybody, having any means whatsoever. " The Government plan suggests the mode of obtain ing food by earning wages—such wages to be paid for the execution of public works. " It is quite true that many faults may be found with the Government plan; but, then, it is rapid of execution, and rapidity of action is, under existing circumstances, of the most vital importance. No plan can be of any value to meet the present horrible emergency but a rapid plan. There is no time for delay or postponement. The penalty of delay would be death—in fact, deaths innumerable. From 10,000,0001. to 12,000,000/. sterling will, I fear, be necessary to keep the people alive; but, while many are writing or talking, the people are starving. " I am not at all insensible to the disadvantage of laying out money on works that are not, in themselves, productive of direct profit ; but the complication of in terests—the properties of minors—the properties vested in trustees for married women—the properties in the hands of the receivers of the Court of Chancery, and of other creditors and annuitants—all these and many other complicated relations, would require much time and labour to aftange in order to secure any Government loans made for profitable works, and it would, consume much time to investigate titles and ascertain the validity of ssou rities. " In the meantime, the cry is loud and universal for food ! food ! Everything must be clone to get the food for the people without delay. Rapidity constitutes, I repeat, the essence of humanity and political sagacity. . . . . . "It seems abundantly clear that there must bean early —very early meeting of the Parliament. The practical defects of the Labour Rate Bill must be amended, and other modes of relief will require to be suggested and worked out. But in the mean time let us one and all struggle to procure wages and food for the people. Let us do the best we can with the existing law, instead of discovering defects and proclaiming them to a starving people. Let us, if possible, inspire in that people a con fidence in our exertions, and let us convince them, that we will leave no practical means untried to preserve the country from famine and pestilence. ." Believe me to be, very faithfully yours, " DANIEL O'CONNELL.' DISGRACEFUL STATE of WANDS WORTH POLICE-COURT. About five years since an Order in Council created a Police•court at Wandsworth, and assigned as the circle of its jurisdiction the parishes of Wandsworth, Clap ham, Battersea, Tooting, Merton, Wimbledon, Barnes, and a portion of Streatham. The place selected to ad ' minister justice was the then sleeping apartment of the superintendent of the V division of police, together with a very small room for the private accommodation of the magistrates. With respect to persons compelled to at tend the court, they were, and are still, obliged to put up with the sorry accommodation of a stable-yard, or the less wholesome jostling in a circumscribed and ill ventilated apartment, dignified by the title of a police court. The entrance to the court, too, is up a steep flight of stairs, that threaten each day to dissolve connexion with the building to which they are the only public approach; and the absence of cells obliges the prisoners being at various times during the sitting of the court paraded between that place and the station-house, which is nearly a quarter of a mile distant; and. the fully of such a course being persevered in cannot be better ex emplified than in the case which is appended. The reporter would not have been induced to make these remarks but for the miserable economy and imbecility of purpose exhibited by those who are constituted the agents of Government in these matters. For three years past the magistrates at this court have been deluded with the idea that a building commen surate with the dignity of a court of judicature would be erected. Surveys have been made over and over again, but still the court remains an eye-sore to the neighbourhood, and a disgrace to the executive depart ment of the Government. A case strongly illustrative of a necessity for a reform occurred yesterday. A man named William Wilson, who has already been convicted of burglary, was charged with embezzling several sums of money be longing to his employer, Edward Covenay, of Bri tannia-place, Wandsworth-road. The prisoner, a powerful young man, was remanded, and was being conveyed towards the station-house by Eastman, 182 V, the Clapham summoning officer, when the fellow suddenly turned round, struck the officer a tremendous blow on the breast, and started off with the the speed of a deer-hound towards Putney. The officer, although almost stunned by the blow, followed in pursuit, and after a sharp run of some hundred yards succeeded in coming up with the prisoner, who had been stopped near the Adelaide Inn. The prisoner, on being again taken into custody, made a most desperate resistance, atrikinc the constable in the face and in various parts of his body, and also biting bite severely. The constable, al though so severely handled, did not draw his staff, and, with the assistance of civilians, whom it was necessary to call upon to aid and assist in the Queen's name, the prisoner was taken back to the court, and from thence to the station-house. Had this court possessed the necessary conveniences that appertain to other courts, this mishap could no have taken place. The last published annual account of the Equitable Assurance Society shows that the directors in the ye' 1845 paid for claims on policies 365,0001., and for addi tions made to them 429,000/., being a total of 794,000/. At the close of that period, and after all these payments, the invested capital of the society was 5,715,000/. Three per Cents., and 4,050,000/, on mortgage. The society has lately paid claims on policies exceeding the sum originally assured, in some instances five times, and in others six times the amount. On a sum assured of 5,000/. the amount paid was 26,610/. ; and in another case for 2,000/. an amount of 10,040/. was paid ; while in a third case for 700/. assured the amount paid was 4,980/. Among the causes which arpear to have con tributed to these important results, is the reservation at each decennial division of one-third of the surplus fund for future appropriation. The amount of the additions made to the oldest 5,000 policies at the last decennial division, in 1839, was 4,094,661/., estimated to be worth in present money 2,969,502/. ; and the third reserved for future accumulation and division was 1,484,7511. The third reserved in 1799 was 225,0001. The 5,000 oldest policies, it is stated, are entitled to share in the additions; and should the life assured die before January Ist, 1850, being within such 5,000, two and-a-half per cent. per annum on the sum assured will be added for every pre mium paid subsequently to 1839, or. subsequently to the admission of the policy into the above number. The actual number of policies existing on the 31st December last was 6,537. The number of policies which have annually become claims, on an average of the last 14 years, having been 235, it is expected that all the poli cies now existing w ill be admitted into the number of 5,000 within the next seven years.— Times, POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday George Binford, a young man who had been in the employment of Mr. Bassett, of Wood•street, warehouseman, was brought before Alderman Gibbs for final examination, charged with having embezzled about 6001., the property of his employer. The prisoner had been in the house for a considerable time, and the greatest confidence had been reposed in him; he had been lately appointed cashier. Mr. Nobler attended for the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, and Mr. Humphreys attended for the prisoner. Mr. George Burford, linendraper, of Stratford, in Essex, stated that on the 15th of November he was in debted to Mr. Bassett in the sum of 11/. 13s. for goods sold, on which day he called at the warehouse and paid the prisoner the amount in gold and silver, and got a re ceipt, signed by the prisoner, for the same. Mr. William Waterhouse, linendraper, of Chipping Ongar, Essex, stated that he dealt with Mr. Bassett, and was indebted to him, on the 7th of July, the sum of 291. 145., which on that day he handed over to the prisoner on account. Mr. G. T. Staines, linendraper, of Romford, in Essex, stated that on the lit of last January he paid at Mr. Bassett's warehouse, to a person who, to the best of his knowledge and belief, was the prisoner, the sum of 2-11., for goods sold by Mr. Bassett, and on the 11th of June he paid, at the same place, the sum of 91. Is. to the pri soner on the like account. The receipts were here produced by the witness. Mr. T. Samuel, assistant to his father, a linendraper, of No. 2, New Bridge-street, Vauxhall, stated that on the 12th of March, he paid to the prisoner 131. for goods sold by Mr. Bassett. He produced the prisoner's receipt. Mr. John Swinford Bassett affirmed that the prisoner had been in his service between five and six years as clerk, and latterly as cashier, in which capacity he was authorised to receive money from the customers, which it was his duty to enter in the cash-book and to pay over to witness, who had examined that book and found that not one of the sums mentioned by the preceding wit nesses were entered there, although they were in the ledger. The prisoner had not paid over any of the money to witness, who, on the 9th instant, having reason to suspect him told him so, and then the prisoner said, "I am guilty. I have been robbing you." Subse quently the prisoner said the amount of his plunder had been, he believed, 6001. The prisoner was upon these several charges com mittted for trial. THAMES. Yesterday a well-dressed, venerable-looking man, named Aaron Bray, a horse-dealer, was brought before Mr. Ballantine, charged under very novel circumstances with stealing 661, the moneys of Mr. William Pears house, a cowkeeper and job-master. Mr. Pelham appeared for the prosecution, and said his client was a cowkeeper and farmer at Woolwich, and who maintained an establishment at Greenwich, and rented stables in Southwark. On January last the pri soner, who was then in very indigent circumstances, be came acquainted with the prosecutor, who suffered him to hang about his place, and occasionally employed him to bid for horses, and execute various commissions for him. This continued up to the end of August, when Mr. Pearshouse having reason to doubt the prisoner's integrity, and finding that he had been engaged in various disreputable transactions, refused to employ him any longer, and told him that he had no farther occasion for his services. Mr. Pearshouse saw no more of the prisoner until the 4th of September, when the prisoner called upon him at his stables in Southwark, and said he could introduce him to a purchaser for three horses, and requested him to let him sell them. Mr. Pearshouse intimated to Bray that he had been deceived by him so often that he could not intrust him with the sale of any horses; but he had no objection to his (the prosecutor's) som accompanying him to the intended purchaser. The prisoner said he had no wish to interfere in the transaction at all, except to introduce the purchaser, and it was then arranged that Mr. Pearshouse, jun., should proceed to Blackwell next day with three horses, and meet the prisoner at the premises of Mr. Money Wigram, a ship-builder and merchant, the intended purchaser. It was also most clearly arranged that Mr. Pearshouse, jun., should re ceive the money for the horses, if sold. On the follow ing morning, Mr. Pearshouse, jun., met the prisoner with three fine horses at Blackwell, and, at the request of Bray, they were put into Mr. Wigram's stables until that gentleman appeared, 'when the horses were exhi bited, and trotted up and down the stable. yard. Bray was very attentive to Mr. Wigram, who, of course, from his high character, believed that the transaction was a fair and honest one. Mr. Pearshouse, jun., was kept in the background, and had no opportunities f conversing with Mr. li't igram, who ultimately agreed to purchase two of the horses, one for 341., and the other for 321. Bray then came to Mr. Pearshouse, jun., and announced that Mr. Wigtam had chosen two horses, and mentioned the price. Mr. Pearshouse, jun., heard the bargain struck, and was satisfied on seeing the horses put into Mr. Wigram's stables. Atter Bray had been into Mr. Wigram's counting-house, he returned to Mr. Pearshouse, jun., and said Mr. Wigram had no time to write out a cheque for payment of the horses then, but would do so on the following Thursday, at ten o'clock. Young Pearshouse then returned to town with the horse that was unsold ; and, on the day and hour ap pointed, he again presented himself at Blackwell to re ceive the money, not doubting that the horses had been fairly parted with on his father's account. He found the prisoner waiting outside Mr. Wigram's house, and he stated that Mr. Wigram was very busy ana nest gone away in a hurry, and that he would send the cheque for 66/. to Mr. Pearshouse, sen., on that or the following day. The young man was ultimately persuaded by the prisoner to return to town without the money ; and the prosecutor, having waited for two days without receiving any communication from Mr. Wigram, waited on that gentleman, and ascertained that the prisoner had received the cheque on the Thursday morning, previous to Mr. Pearshouse, jun., arriving at Blackwell, and that he had been paid the amount at the banker's. Mr. Pearshouse, sen.,had thus been deprived of his horses and his money too. It did occur to him (Mr. Pelham) that t here was a constructive stealing of the horses, or that Mr. Pearshouse had been defrauded of 66/. by means of a sale fairly brought about in the first instance. He ought to state, that it would be, perhaps, set up in defence that the prosecutor was indebted to the prisoner, and that he appropriated the money in payment of the debt, but he could assure the Bench that there was no account be tween them at all. Mr. Pearshouse was not very anxious to sell the horses, but, thinking there were some remains of honesty in the prisoner, he allowed him to introduce a purchaser to his son. Mr. Wigram thought he was dealing entirely with Bray. Mr. Pearshouse, sen., and his son ga ve ev id ence a t length, exactly supporting the statement of the soli citor; and added that Bray represented, after the pur. chase of the two horses was completed, that Mr. Wigram wanted to purchase three more horses on the following Thursday, but no sale was then effected. Mr. BALLANTINE inquired what had become of the two horses in question, and was informed they were shipped in one of Mr. Wigram's vessels, bound to Cal cutta. After a long discussion between the magistrate and the solicitor respecting the way in which the charge could be shaped, Mr. BALLANTINE said, there was no false pretence about obtaining the horses Or selling them. There was a fair barter. The representation made by the prisoner was fair and honest, as far as the sale of the horses was concerned. Mr. Wigram, however, could only have understood he was dealing with Bray, to whom he gave the cheque, and then came the dishonest part of the transaction. The prisoner said he had not got the cheque in his possession on the Thursday morning at 10 o'clock, though it had been paid to him an hour previous, and he induced Mr. Pearshouse, jun., to return to London on the understanding that the cheque should be forwarded next day to his father at Greenwich. The case was not without its ditficelties, btft the charge upon which he should call the prisoner for his defence was for stealing 6el. The prisoner, with a self-confident air, as if he was conducting an ordinary business transaction, said he had a very few words to say until he saw Mr. Foster, his solicitor, of Jermyn-street, under whose advice he had acted in retaining the money for a large debt owing to him by Mr. Pearshouse. He should say the prosecutor owed him 100/. Mr. Pelham denied that his client owed the prisoner a a ixpence, and said that Mr. Pearshouse had been a benefactor to the prisoner and kept him from starving, and he had now ungratefully turned round upon him. The prisoner said that Mr. Foster told him to do ex actly as he had done ; in fact, he had acted under his directions, and he wished to send for him. Mr. Wigram . recognised no one but him in the transaction. He hoped he should be allowed to send for his attorney. Mr. BALLANTINE said the prisoner might send for his attorney, but he certainly should not wait for him. If Mr. Pearshouse did owe the prisoner 100/, he had no right to take his money. If one man owed another 1001., he would have no right to go to the desk or cash-box of his debtor, and take the amount away. The prisoner, with a free and easy manner, said he was an agent, paying and receiving money on account of Mr. Pearshouse. He would admit receiving the cheque and obtaining cash for it. He had written to Mr. Pearshouse to that effect. The letter was to the follow ing effect : " Sir,—i have reseived sixty five pounds for two horses. Shall be most'happy for you to appoint one meeting to settel our accounts us Earley as most conversant to you self. I remain your hutnbl servt AARON BRAY, Sept. 4, 1846. Mr. Pearshouse, Greenwich." Mr. Pelham admitted the receipt of the letter. That was part of a well•concocted scheme of the prisoner, to make it appear there was a debtor and creditor account between him and Mr. Pearshouse. The prosecutor was recalled, and said he never autho rised the prisoner to sell the horses to Mr. Wigram, or receive money for them, and until he heard the cheque was paid, he considered Mr. Wigram his debtor for 661. The prisoner said the prosecutor had been to the Southwark Police-court, and was informed there by the into custody. th a t h e h ad b etter not g i ve an y one custody. Mr. Pelham said the offence was not committed within the jurisdiction of the Southwark Police-court, and the prosecutor only went there because he lived in the vici nity of the court. After a long discussion, during which the prisoner expressed his gratification that he was given into custody, Mr. BALLANTINE doubted whether the prisoner's attorney had given the advice here presented, and ulti mately consented to take bail for the prisoner's appear. anco on Tuesday, and directed that Mr. Wigran should be requested to attend on that day. The prisoner said he could send for bail. Mr. Dixon, of the Repository, in Barbican, who was his brother, would bail him. • Mr. BALLANTINE would be quite satisfied with Mr. axon's bail without any other. The prisoner then made a low bow, wished the ma gistrate a good evening, and was removed in the van to the prison. TREATMENT OF THE POOR IN ST. PANCRAS WORKHOUSE. The inquiry into the alleged ill-treatment of some of the inmates of St. Pancras workhouse was returned yesterday, by adjournment from Tuesday last, before the directors and guardians of the poor of the parish. The members of the board were engaged in the trana actioa of ordinary parish business until two o'clock, when the investigation was resumed. Mr. C. E. Wag- staff, churchwarden, presided. Several members of the vestry were present. The district medical officers of the parish had been summoned to attend this meeting, and the board at once proceeded to hear their statements. Mr. Harrison, one of the district surgeons, was the first witness examined. He stated that, having looked through the diet table, he considered there could be no objection to it, provided the fel was of the best quality. His attention had been particularly drawn to the dietary table for the paupers in the refractory ward; and he must say, though they deserved some punishment, that he did not think it prudent to de prive them of animal food altogether. (Some con versation here took place beta-c n Mr. Harrison arid several members of the board, in the course of which it appeared that Mr. Harrison had misunderstood the re gulations of the refractory ward. His impression was that the inmates of that ward were altogether deprived of animal food, but it was explained that the refractory paupers received only 4oz. of meat three times a week, while the other inmates of the house received 6 )z.) Ile should say that the suspension of meat rations was de cidedly prejudicial to health. He did not think there Was much to complain of in the present dietary, sup posing the porri lge, the butter, and the cheese, were of the best quality. The allowance was not great, but it was enough to keep people in health. If the milk por ridge was good, he did not know but that the allowance was sufficient; if it was of bad quality, he would say de cidedly that the quantity allowed was not enough. He had heard that the milk porridge in the house Was thin; that only a quart of dairy milk was allowed to six quarts of oatmeal. If that were the case it was not milk porridge, bht water-porridge. With regard to the beef, a great deal depended upon the manner in which it was served up; whether it was well cooked or not sufficiently cooked. It appeared that the inmates generally had beer allowed on the days when they had meat and potatoes. His opinion was that it would be advisable to allow them beer on the days when they had no meat. Mr. HOWARTH—Do you consider, when persons have grossly misconducted themselves, and when no work is exacted from them, that it would be prejudicial to their health to keep them for one week on the dietary of this workhouse, without meat ?—I should say, as far as that week goes, that such a course would be decidedly pre judicial. If they commenced the week in good health, they would be far more likely to be unwell than well at its termination. It might not be prejudicial in every case, but, generally speaking, I think it would be so. Mr. How/serif—l want to know whether you think that the health of refractory, able-bodied, and healthy paupers would be injured by depriving them of two ounces of meat on alternate days ?—I should say it would be decidedly injurious to their health. In answer to a question from Mr. T. H. Smith, Mr. Harrison stated that he had not seen the " sheds" in which the refractory paupers were confined, and at ti. request of the board he proceeded to inspect them. Mr. Erasmus Wilson, consulting surgeon to the parish, was then examined—He said, if the food of the inmates of the workhouse is, bond fide, what is represented in the diet table, I consider it very excellent diet, with one ex ception. I thick the broth might be improved by mix ing peas with the barley. The CHAIRMAN—In the refractory ward a reduction of two ounces is made in the allowance of meat, which is served to the paupers three times a week. Do you think that could be prejudicial to the health of the pau pers?—l think if the broth were better, if it were made more nutritive and palatable, there could be no objection to such a reduction. Mr. HOWARTH—Do you think any injury would re sult to paupers who had been guilty of misconduct by depriving them, for three alternate days in one week of two ounces of meat daily, substituting four ounces of potatoes ?—I should say if the other articles of food mentioned in the diet table were of good quality, there could be no objection to such a reduction in the allow ance of meat for one week; but all other articles ought to be of good quality. Mr. Wilson then suggested that the paupers should have a larger amount of milk and sugar. He consi dered that the dimunition of the allowance of meat for one week would not have an injurious effect on the health of a growing girl or boy, provided their other diet was good; but he did not think it a judicious mode of punishment. Mr. Harrison recalled—l have seen the place called the " shed," and I was agreeably surprised at its ap pearance. I expected to find a much more inferior place. I think, however, that it ought to be two or three feet higher. The bed-room in the women's shed is decidedly objectionable. I think there is nothing to complain of as to the men's rooms. The women's bed-room is not a fit place for any one to sleep in; the wall is damp for a considerable distance on both sides of the fire-place, and about the fire-place itself. Mr. Curteis, a district surgeon, stated—The dietary of this house is much superior to that of the generality of I similar establishments. I find that three pints pf por ridge a day are allowed for each individual. Now, if oee ounce and a nail or oatmeal is alrewed to a pint of porridge, that is more than is allowed by the Poor , law Commissioners, and not far below the allowance at the Naval Asylum at Greenwich. I think it is injudi cious to diminish the allowance of food to paupers in the shed, becatve persons suffering punishment, and who are in a state of depression, require more stimulating food than free men. Mr. HOWARTH said it was unjust to suppose that the system of separation adopted in the house was regarded as a mode of punishment. Mr. Curteis understood that the inmates of the refrac tory ward considered they were regarded as an inferior class to the paupers in the house. Mr. E. Wilson, who, since his previous examination, had visited the sheds, was here recalled, and examined by the CHAIRMAN—He said, I consider that the rooms in the refractory ward, especially the men's working room, are very ill ventilated. The women's sleeping room is very damp, and it appeared to me that this dampness arose from defective draining. I think the women's bed-room is much too low, considering the number of persons who occupy it. Mr. Todd, a district surgeon, stated that he found the porridge made for the paupers was not milk-porridge, but a kind of water-gruel, without much milk. If they gave the paupers water-gruel, they ought to use oatmeal ground more coarsely than that which they now used. He had lived upon oatmeal-porridge, taking also half a pint of milk in the morning, for eight successive years, without tasting animal food. He had gone round the wards to-day. Some of the paupers had made com plaints about the food. He had told them they filled out their clothes so well that they could not be on low diet. He did not think that if persons were put on low diet for one week it would be prejudicial to their health. By Mr. T. H. SMITH—I have visited two apartments called the " sheds." My opinion is, that there is cot a workshop in this metropolis half so good as the me,-'s shed, though a little better venti lation would make it • cooler. I never was in a workshop in this city where there was half the comforts the men have in the shed. The working room of the women is rather low, but still there is good ventilation. I looked into their bed-room. There is a dampness in the corner which ought not to exist in a sleeping apartment. I consider that a sleeping-room ought not to be below the level of the ground. Mr. T. H. SMITH thought the master of the work house, or the surveyor, ought to have informed the board of the condition of the women's room.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Curteis was recalled, and stated that he had been to see the rooms occupied by the refractory paupers. It appeared to him that the work-room did very well. They did not appear to want air there, but that must, of course, depend in a great measure on the number of persons who might be in the apartment. If the ceiling were higher the ventillation would be much better. In his opinion, from the number of beds in the sleeping room, the accommodation in that respect was very de fective. In the hospitals a cube of nine feet was allowed for each individual ; but the room to which he referred was about 30 feet long by 17 or 18 feet wide, and some times 27 or 28 persons were crowded into it. According to the practice at the hospitals, that room ought not to contain more than six individuals. Mr. Johnson, district surgeon, stated that if the pre scribed dietary were perfectly carried out he could not see much objection to it. He did not think, if persons were deprived of meat diet fur a week, their other allow ance of food ;remaining the same, that such a course would be 'prejudicial to health. He had been in the men's working room, and it was a great deal better than the generality of workshops in London. Mr. Harrison recalled—The room in which a number of the old female paupers lived was very damp. - Mr. T. H. Cooper, the parish surgeon, was again called, and said he thought, if the prescribed dietary was uniformly and properly carried out, that it would be amply sufficient for the maintenance of the poor. He concurred in the recommendation of Mr. Wilson, that an allowance of peas should be made to the paupers. He had before stated that it not unfrequently happened that a large portion of the four ounces of meat given to the refractory paupers three times a week consisted of fat, and he hoped the board would not rest satisfied with his statement, but that they would appoint a committee to inquire into the facts. Mr. HOWARTH here objected to Mr. Cooper's proceed ing with any further statement. - Mr. -Cooper said, as other medical men had been re quested to give their opinions on particular points, he thought he ought to have an opportunity of expressing his opinions on those subjects. In answer to Mr. BRAY, Mr. Cooper stated that he had from time to time found diseases existing among the paupers in the sheds, which probably arose from their confinement. Mr. HOWARTH considered that the evidence of the medical officers was taken to-day with a view to ascer tain whether the complaints made by Mr. Cooper, on Tuesday, were well founded or not, in order that if those complaints were borne out the board might make some alteration in the dietary tables. He did not, however, think it fair that Mr. Cooper should be allowed to com ment on the evidence which hat been given by the other medical gentlemen. Mr. Cooper denied that he had attempted to make any comments on the evidence of the medical witnesses who had been examined. Mr. Bird, surveyor to the parish, was then called, at the request of Mr. T. H. Smith, and stated that it was two or three years since he saw the rooms in which the refractory women were kept, and that he knew nothing whatever of the cause of the dampness of those apart ment;. Mr. HOWARTH observed, that at the former investi gation, Mr. Cooper hnd complained that when he men tioned the fact of the women washing themselves in the chamber utensils, he was told by the master of the work house to hold his tongue and mind his shop. Mr. Cooper had stated that he (Mr. Howarth) was chairman of the Board on that occasion. Now this was not the fact, for Mr. Haslewood, the late churchwarden, was chairman when this occurrence took place. The board then adjourned till Tuesday next, when it is understood the directors will consider their report. LATEST PRICES OF SHARES, IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM PANIES' STOCK.

(From the London New Price Current of September 18.) SUGAR.—To-day no further advance took place in the value of Sugar subject to the 14s per cwt ; but the trade are still inclined to increase their stocks, and merchants dis played firmness. In the West India market a good business was transacted, and the rates given were fully equal to those previously current for all kinds; the quantity sold amounted to 600, making the total sales for the week 2,890 hhds and trcs. REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were largely dealt in by the home trade ; brown lumps according to quality brought 62s 6d to 63s 6d, and standard lumps 64s to 64s 6d per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is held for higher rates, 33s 3d to 33s 6d being Esked for first'quality, but at present there are not many buyers. Mnunmus.—There has been an increased desire evinced to operate in all descriptions this week, and by private con tract several parcels have been disposed of, in all 3,000 bags. The rates paid in some cases are rather above those previously current, and the market has been less freely supplied. FOREIGN.—This afternoon there was little business trans acted privately in Foreign Sugar, but prices remain much the same as previously. Of Chi na 2,668 bags were offered at auction, and sold at very f u ll r a te s , l ow middling white rather soft 498 soft fetching 50s to 50s 6d, damp 49s 6d to 50s, washed to 50s, low middling yellow rather soft 46s to 46s 6d, damp 45s to 45s 6d, and washed 44s 6d per cwt.

Bally Khal Treacle is fetching 21s to 21s 6d per cwt. __ TEA.—The market is still in an inactive state; the stock has been increased this week, but holders are unwilling to . further reduce their prices, and refrain from offering any at ; public sale : of both black and green the trade only purchase sufficient for their immediate wants, although the clearances for home consumption continue to be large. COFFEE.—This afternoon Native Ceylon was sold to a fair extent privately at 39s to 40s for low good ordinary and or dinary pale. For Plantation the demand was limited, and 556 bags at auction were all taken in above the value, fine fine ordinary grey at 565, and fine ordinary at 545. CocoA.—West India has been in brisker request, but hav ing a fair supply at market, holders have been compelled to accept previous rates. In Foreign there has been more busi ness transacted privately, and at rather higher rates. FnufT.—Of Currants the stock is much diminishing, none remaining in importers hands ; but still the grocers, although having scarcely any on hand, do not appear disposed to pur chase much at the advanced quotation, holding back for the new, which are daily expected. Of New Valentia Raisins two cargoes arrived this week. The whole have been taken off eagerly at 425, the supply being very inadequate to the demand. RicE.—To-day there was little passing privately in Bengal Rice; at auction 321 bags were offered; the sound was taken in at 20s for good bold white, but the damaged sold at 13s 6d to 17s 6d per cwt.

Of Cassia Buds 64 chests were bought in at 63a to 65s 6d, and 100 bags Malabar Pepper at 3bd for heavy. SPIRITS.—The arivals of Rum have increased this week, and amounted to 750 pkgs of West India, and 49 pkgs of East India. Although there are sellers of Leeward Island Rum upon reduced terms, still the demand has been limited, and 2s 3d to 2s 4d are the rates taken for proof strength. Holders of Jamaica are unwilling to lower their prices, but the market has a quiet appearance. Calcutta is little wanted, and prices are lowering. For Demerara the market has a quiet appearance, but 3s 2d to as 5d are the rates insisted upon for strong sorts. There has been a lively demand for Brandy, chiefly from the home trade, and for all descriptions the market has a firm appearance. The deliveries are yet on the increase, and prices rule firm. Geneva has been in brisk demand for shipping at 2s 5d to 2s 6d, and at which holders are firm : fine for home con sumption is wanted at 2s 9d to 3s. British Corn Spirits have been in brisk request. Comm/as—The demand bas been good for all sorts BREAD RIO r IN LIMERICK. The Limerick Reporter of Tuesday contains the follow ing:—" This morning, about eight o'clock, as a bread waggon belonging to Mr. John Norris Russell was pass ing in the neighbourhood of John-square, its progress was arrested by a party of persons, principally bays. Two young men having charge of the waggon resisted the aggression, but were ultimately overpowered, when the waggon was broken open, and rifled of something about edozen loaves. The otrage was thus far checked by the timely interference of several sensible persons that were attracted to the scene. The mayor was also immediately on the spot, and strongly remonstrated with the people against such conduct; apprehension having been felt, and rumour afloat, that a rise out' was in con ' templation, Colonel Mansel and a party of the Bth Hus sars shortly joined his worship. The bread waggon by this time was allowed to proceed unmolested, minus the few loaves ; and the Mayor on horseback, accompanied by Colonel Mansel and the Hussars, proceeded round the town, and down William-street, followed by a crowd, which greatly increased in- its progress. The Mayor addressed the crowd at the corner of William-street, impressing upon them the necessity of abstaining from any outbreak on person or property, and requesting their immediate dispersion, telling them that he had only just returned from Dublin, where he had been during the past week, in communication with the Government, and that matters were in proper training for the setting of such public works on foot as would shortly insure them employment. The crowd immediately separated, and the city has since been quiet." THE INDIAN POOR RELIEF FUND. The fallowing appears in the Dublin Evening Post : " During the early part of the present week a sum of nearly 8001. has been added to the account of the Man sion-house committee at the Bank of Ireland, 6001. of which have been received from Bombay, the generous agency of the Honourable Sir H. Raper, Messrs. Edward F. Danvers, and J. Stewart, the difference having been received fram the Island of Ceylon, in a remittance from the humane Major Parks and Sir J. Emmerson Tennent. The gross sum received by the trustees of the Indian Poor Relief Fund is 11,4501., the ureater part of which has been contributed at Calcutta, and remitted through the medium of the Right Rev. Dr. Carew, Roman Catholic Bishop, Sir Lawrence Peel, and Mr. Henry Piddington. The parties who at present are in communication with the trustees in the other places are Messrs. Burney and Co., at Madras ; the Chairman of the Relief Committee at Toronto ; and the Mayor of the city of Mobile, in the United States, whose sponta neous ;generosity is the mon) distinguished, because, in the absence of the tie of fellow-subjects, no other motive could exist with him and his friends at Mobile but that of universal benevolence. The citizens of Mobile have contributed 2001. " The trustees of the Indian Poor Relief Fund are men whose names convey their eulogy. They ere : His Grace the Duke of Leinster ; his Grace the Lord Archbishop of Dublin ; his Grace Archbishop Murray; the Right Hon. the Lord Cloncurry ; the Right Rev. Dr. Blake, Bishop of Dromore ; the Right Rev. Dr. Whelan, Bishop of Bombay ; the Venerable the Arch deacon Torrens ; the Very Reverend Theobald Mathew; R. J. Graves, Esq., M.D. ; Sir Robert Kane, M.D. These distinguished personages are in weekly attend ance at the board since the month of April ; and the Duke of Leinster, with that munificence by which his whole life has been characterised, has given the use of his house in Dominick-street for the trustees to meet in and transact their pious duti e s. The Bank of Ireland, with a disposition corresponding with the humane intentions of those who create, and those who disburse the fund, have munificently cashed, free black Of the quantity offered at public sale amounted to 39 ‘-' - zi ac k Honduras, and nearly th e w h o l e so ld a t f u ll rates, u• brought 5s 10d to Gs 9d, and silvers 4s 8d to SALTPETRE.—To-day at auction 1,304 bags o f Cale P e ; 5s 8d Per were offered, and sold at 26s for fine strong grey 3 , 4 ,fia cent refraction, being 6d lower.
