In the Cotton Market at Liverpool, yesterday, the sales were 4,000 to 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 were on speculation. The market closed tamely but steadily. Railway Shares were very dull, and there was no im provement in prices. The state of the weather is exciting much remark, and no small interest among all City men, although the barometer still encourages the hope that we are about to have a cessation of rain. Three or four weeks of fine weather would have a wonderful effect upon confidence generally, and, indeed, supposing continental affairs do not become more threatening, is almost the only thing we want to give an impulse, and to start us in a career of future prosperity. A letter from Ireland, with au extract from which we have been favoured, states that when Mr. Smith O'Brien was in Cork he was remarkably cautious, showing no outward symptoms of madness, or even rashness, such as is stated to have seized upon him. Except as respects the collision in Tipperary, there is stated to have been as little appearance of rebellion in the south of Ireland (Cork) as there is in London. Upon the foreign news received to-day our City politicians and speculators are arguing with considerable animation. The majority are certainly inclined to the opinion that the Freneb Government knows too well the extreme danger of interference in Italian affairs to afford aid to Charles Albert, while the latter is much more likely to treat with the Austrians who have no desire to retain Lombardy, than to call for the aid of doubtful allies. The intelligence from the United States does not se em to be ♦ery interesting. Money was somewhat scarcer, and stocks were lower in consequence. The demand for sterling exchange was active at 9,1 to 10 premium, and the steamer brings a good deal of specie. The Canadian accounts describe the crops generally as being good, though the weather in the Upper Province had been rather too dry. Potatoes promised well, and new potatoes were in the market, more abundant, and better than usual. At Bathhurst frost had done some mis chief, and in Lower Canada there has been instances of potato blight, though the Montreal Transcript of July 11th states that the country was " perfectly lovely," and that on all sides there were most excellent accounts of the crops. The Corn Market had been tolerably firm. The following is part of a report by Messrs. Wilkin son and Jewesbury, of London:— " The commercial markets during the latter part of the past month have been more steady than for some weeks previously. Exporters have purchased much more freely, and prices, which had given way considerably, are firmer; the importations of produce have continued large, and the markets have been well supplied. There appear to be symptoms of returning confidence, and were it not for the unfortunate position of affairs in Ireland, prices would doubtlessly have shown a consider able improvement. " The accounts from the manufacturing districts con tinue favourable—the number of hands out of employ, as also of mills working short time, are both diminished; the Woollen trade has much improved since our last, there being many large orders in course of execution, which will afford regular employment for some time to some. "In the Money Market capital continues abundant; the rates for first-class paper are from 2} to 3i per cent. according to date ; for other securities 4 to 7 per cent., and money at call 2 per cent." A very little business has been transacted in the Funds anday Consols have been 861 to 87. The New Three s--Quarter per Cents. have realised 87 to 871, and the Three per Cents. 861 to 87i. Bank Stock is worth 1;. to 3 94:it0175.98. Exchequer-bills of June have been quoted premium. The weather has occasioned the reaction, and induced the Bears to sell on. Some diffi culty is now experienced in surmising even how the account will turn out. The Foreign Securities are still quite neglected. Mexi can are 171, but the accounts from the Republic are not encouragi ng . Brazilian small bonds are at 69. Dutch T wo - and-a-Half per Cents. have realised 434 to 44. Railway Shares are flatter this morning, and have been done at reduced prices, although the transactions have not been large. GVE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES.

PAYNE'S TIMBER PRESERVING PROCESS.—A nu merous and distinguished party, among whom were the Lord Mayor, the Speaker of the House of Commons, Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P., Lord Ebrington, Sir E. Codrington, Captain Mansell, RN., John Abel Smith, Esq., M.P., Captain Chappell, RN., Blunt, Esq., (of the Colonial• office), the Russian Consul, H. C. Lacy, Esq., M.P., C. Williams, Esq., S. Smirke, Esq., Bolton Bolton, Esq., E. Janson, Esq., T. Grissell, Esq., Captain Mildmay, R. N., G. Edwards, Esq., &c., attended yes terday at Whitehall Wharf to witness the experiment of the Timber Preserving Company, to prove the complete efficacy of Payne's process in arresting the spread of flame. The process, as is well known, differs from those of Ryan, Burnett, and Bethel, in employing not only exhaustion and pressure to inject and transfuse pre servativ,t solutions, but in producing, by chemical de composition and combination, a new and insoluble ele ment in the pores of wood, which is thereby rendered proof, not only against rot and the ravages of insects, but (with a slight modification of the ordinary process) against the agency of fire, or at least of flame. Two wooden structures, of which the one was prepared by the process, and the other made of ordinary timber, were subjected to a very trying ordeal, about seven pounds of shavings being placed within the chambers and ignited. Tho Paynised cottage eff'ectually resisted this agency ; the unprepared one was consumed to the water's edge. CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE.—The following appoint ments have taken piace:—The Rev. John England Rudd, M.A., curate of Sr. Mark's Church, Birmingham, to the rectory of Covenham, St. Mary, Lincolnshire, on the nomination of the Lord Chancellor; the Rev.

Charles John Ellicott, M.A., Platt, Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge, to the rectory of Pelton, Rutlandshire, rendered vacant by the death of the Rev. Gregory Bateman, M.A., on the nomination of Sir Gil bert Heatheote, B.irt. THE NEW METROPOLITAN SANITARY BILL.— Yesterday . the Lord Mayor, Mr. Deputy Peacock, and other members of the Corporation, waited upon Lord Murpeth, upon the subject of certain clauses, relative to the City of London, in the new (Bill for effecting sanitary improvement in the metropolis. The deputation were received with the utmost courtesy by his Lordship, who, it is stated, expressed au anxious wish that the citizens of London would be satisfied with those parts of the measure which related to their benefit. DREADFUL FIRE AND Loss OF LIFE AT NEW• CASTLE—About half-past eleven o'clock on Sunday evening a fire was discovered in Mr. Carr's public-house, Ridley-court, Groat-market, Newcastle. Although the alarm was almost instantly given, yet, before the arrival of the fire-engines, the flames had gained such an as cendancy that it was impossible to save the premises. The wind was blowing pretty strong from the south west at the time, and the fire soon communicated with the adjoining tenement property, and from thence to the premises fronting the street. The Newcastle engine, closely followed by the North British and that of the barracks, was soon upon the spot; but before the en gines were in full play it became evident that no effort could be effectual in saving the presimies, as from the bottom of the court to the front street one mass of fire presented itself. About half-past one o'clock, the flames, having destroyed nearly the whole of the upper stories of the front buildings, were descending to the shops, when Mr. Elijah Galloway, the conductor of the Newcastle fire-engine, and three other per sons, broke open a shop, with the inten tion of saving a quantity of cheese which was in it, and, we are very sorry to have to state, that they had not been in the shop more than a few minutes when the roof fell in, and one of the burning beams coming through the floors struck Mr. Galloway and knocked him down, and although it is said one of his compani o ns stru gg l e d hard to save him, at the risk of his own life, the ruins con tinued to fell so fast that all efforts to relieve him were unavailing, and his lifeless body was not got out until about half-past five o'clock. Two other persons were much injured. The destruction of property is deplor able, several parties having lost their all. The building in which the fire originated was originally the Newcastle Assembly-room, afterwards the library of the Literary and Philosophical Society, and has been used as a room in which 'several societies held their meetings. A pre liminary inquest was held on Monday morning on the body has a r sbeen and whoattached has to fthe t a N e wcastle ofM Fire-office for ho ye ib , r ee 2o widow and six childr en, but was ad j ourned to Thursday. __Abridged from the New castle Advertiser.

At this time the Cowgate, from the South Bridge to George the Fourth Bridge, presented one living mass of human beings, and the riot now began to assume a threatening appearance. After extraordina r y exer tions, the policemen at length reached the Old Asse mbl y Close, up which they conveyed the prisoner, while three of their number stationed themselves at the foot of the close to ward off the crowd. Some of the more auda cious of the mob closed with the policemen, wrenched the batons from their hands, and cut and bruised them in a severe manner. Information of the affray having reached the p o li ce -office, Mr. Moxey, the superintendent, speedily reac h e d the spot, with 40 men, and apprehen d e d Conval a nd D ev i ne, two of the r i ngleaders. Anot h er detachment of police followed, and the street was soon cleared of its disorderly mob, who fled in all directions. too this it Consider a bl e exc i tement prevailed in the neighbourhood while the r i ot was g o i ng on; and some of the spectators seemed localitywith though it wa s evi d ently only a repetition of the scenes which a As every one knows, this part of the town is inhabited almost solely by the Irish, who are in the habit of col lecting, in great numbers, in the street every Sabbath evening, and scarcely a week passes wi:hout an affray between them and the police. The charge having been fully proved against the prisoners, the magistrates sen tenced Conval and Devine to 60 days' and Keough to 40 days' imprisonment. — Edieberyh Paper. DESTRUCTION AND RAPID RE -CONSTRUCTIO N OF A RAILWAY BRIDGE.—One of the wooden bridges on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, a little west of flex ham, was accidentally destroyed by fire one day last week. The fire was caused by the falling of a red-hot cinder from the grate of the engine of a luggage train, which passed over it just before the fire was discovered. Being constructed of wood and coated with pitch, the fire burned with great rapidity, and every portion of the wooden frame-work was destroyed, leaving only the stone piers standing. Messrs. Rush and Lawton, the eminent railway contractors, were called in to re• construct it ; they commenced operations at five o'clock on Friday morning, and opened the bridge for the mail train on Sunday, since when the general traffic has been unob structed! The bridge consisted of four river arches, and its permanent re-construction, in so short a period, reflects great credit on the skill and available resources of the eminent firm to whom the work was iatrusted. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS. (From the Votes and Proceedings of the Huse of Conanon....) WEDNESDAY, AUG. 2. SALE OF BEER BILL, Amendment proposed, paragraph l, line 25, to lesve out the words " before half-past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, or where the :"—Question put, "That the words proposed to be left out stand part of the Bill," The House divided:— THURSDAY _EVENING. THE UNITED STATES ANTI] MEXICO. ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. - The Royal Mail steam-ship Caledonia, Captain John Leitch, arrived in the river at noon to-day, from New York, via The Caledonia bring 47 passengers, 23,0001. in specie, and dates from New York to 19th ult. inclu.- sive ; Halifax to 22d. The news from Europe of the Paris insurrection, which was carried out by the steam-ship Niagara, had caused considerable sensation, and further ad vices from Europe were anxiously looked for. A hope was expressed, however, by the mercantile elasQs, that the insurrection having terminated so signally in the triumph of law and order, that com mercial transqctions with the Continent would the sooner be generally resumed. Congress had made no move towards an adjourn ment. The question now engaging the attention of both the Senate and the House is the proper disposi tion of the newly-acquired territory ceded by Mexico. The introduction of slavery into these new states, in cluding also it would seem Oregon, is of course stre nuously advocated by the representatives from the southern states, whilst an equally strong party in Congress, from the rp.rthern states, condemn the measure. The New York Courier and Inquirer says A compromise has been attempted in the Senate, with what success remains to be seen. Two propositions are before that body—the one to adopt the line of the Missouri compromise, which would guarantee all the ter ritory north of 36 degrees 20 seconds to freedom, and surrender all south of it to slavery. But inasmuch as a large portion of the new territory is south of this line, thut proposition would absolutely plant slavery where it now has no existence, and therefore be objectionable. " Another proposition is to make all north of the Mis souri compromise free, and to leave all south of it open to the declaration of its future inhabitants, whether or not slavery shall exist there. This, at least, would ex• empt the federal Government from actually establishing slavery on free soil, even if the inhabitants thereof shall themselves hereafter introduce it." From all appearances, however, it was probable that this question would be adjourned over to the next session of Congress. The papers in almost every large city were com plaining bitterly about the operation of the new "re taliatory" postage Act, and several able letters on the subject had appeared in the New York Journal of Commerce. In connexion with this postage question we notice that in the Senate, on the 16th, on Mr. Niles bringing up his Bill for regulating the payment of the ocean steam. ships according to services performed, Mr. Allen intimated his intention of moving that, on the termination of the existing con tracts which the United States Government had entered into with the various steam-ship companies, no new contracts should be entered into, as from the results of the mail contracts with ocean steam com panies so far, he was sure that all such arrangements were very injurious, in a financial point of view, to the Government. He announced his determined opposition to all future contracts with ocean mail steamers. The Canal Bank at Albany failed on the 12th. It was one of those banks denominated " Safety Fund," and was a very old institution, and has ranked very high in public estimation, as being a safe concern. The capital of the bank was 400,000 dollars, the whole of which, together with 113,000 dollars depo sited, would be lost; and it seems very doubtful whether the circulating notes, amounting td 189,000 dollars more, will ever be paid. The exposition of the affairs connected with the concern are very dis• reputable. The Washington steam-ship, belonging to the United States Ocean Steam Navigation Company, was advertised to leave New York on the 21st, the day after the Caledonia left. The Southern Telegraph Company (Magnetic) whose line extends from .Now York, through Phila delphia and Baltimore to Washington, a distance of about 250 miles, had declared their first annual divi dend 6 per cent. The news from Mexico is not uninteresting. Paredes, at the head of a small force, had pillaged the Mint at Guanajato, and then proceeded for the Mex ican capital. The coin stolen from the Mint is said to have been chiefly English. The authorities in Mexico were preparing to suppress the insurrection, but the condition of the country on the whole is very unpromising. Almost all the American forces had left the country, General Worth's division being the only one remaining. Business matters in New York kept dull, as indeed was usual at this season. Money was, however, quite scarce, and as touch as I to 11 per cent. a month was paid on good paper. The export of specie had not entirely ceased, the quantity sent from New York during the week pre vious to the Caledonia sailing being about 310,756 . dollars. Exchange on England had been bought freely at 9: 4 1 to 10, so much so as to induce sellers to ask 10.1,, which rate, however, was not firmly maintained. Flour was quoted 5 doll. 50c. fir good Genessee ; common sorts, 5 doll. 12ic. to 5 doll. 25c.; Indian Corn, 52c. to 55c.; Meal, 2 doll. 50c. per brl. Cotton was quiet, but firm, holders confidently ex pecting to hear of an advance in price in England by the Hibernia, then expected in. The exports of Cotton during the week ending July 19 to Great Britain were 35,000 bales, making total exports to Great Britain since September 1, 1847, 1,190,000. The stock in New York was 60,000 bales. Freights were very low. Cotton, d. to 5-32 d. per lb.; Corn, 3d. to 4d. per bushel in bags, sd. in bulk. NEW YORK MARKETS. TUESDAY, JULY 18 . —Flour exhibited very little change, and sales of this state and western brands were made at about yesterday's prices. Pura brands of Ge nessee were in steady demand for the eastern trade, at full prices. Small sales new were again made at yester day's rates. Wheat was quiet, and no sales of moment reported. Yellow corn continued in steady demand, while supplies were light; sales were made to a flair ex tent at yesterday's rates. There was no change in meal, rye, or oats. Provisions were firmer, and considerable sales were reported, including prime and mess, at an advance. Lard remained about the same. Sugars were active, with a fair amount of sales, on terms stated below. BREADSTUFFS.--Flollr--The sales footed up 4,000 to 5,000 barrels, in various separate lots, among which were about 1,500 to 2,000 ,barrels this state common Oswego, &c., at 5 to 5 dolls. 123-c., with some inferior at 4 dolls. 94c.; 500 to 600 ditto pure to extra Ge nessee, &e., at 5 dolls, 50c. to 7 dolls.; 500 ditto fine or scratched ditto sold at 4 dolls. 629 c. ; a lot of Genessee, extra, sold at 6 dolls. 75c.; small sales of Ohio, flat hoop, were made at about 5 dolls. 12ic. to 5 dolls. 25c. There was no change in Southern; sales of 200 to 300 barrels were made at six dolls. Wheat —The market was quiet, and no sales transpired. Corn—Sales of about 15,000 to 20,000 bushels were made, in separate lots, including 2,000 bushels flat yellow, at 32e.; 12,000 ditto ditto at 53c.; 8,000 to 10,000 ditto round yellow sold at 55c. ; 1,100 mixed ditto, for distilling, at 47c. Meal—The sales amounted to about 800 barrels Jersey, at 2 dolls. 50e. Rye— Sales of 1,000 bushels were made at lie. Rye Flour— Sales of 150 barrels were made at 3 dolls. 63-c. to 3 dolls. Ole. Oats—Canal were worth 43c. to 44c., and by retail, 45c. Cotton—The total amount of sales yesterday was 1,500 bales ; to day, we only hear of 800 bales of same descriptions. Tho market is firm, without buoyancy or activity, but few parties were disposed to take hold at present rates, although an advance by the next steamer is generally conceded. The quotations rule the same as for the previous steamer : AUGUST 3, 1818. IRELAND. donia. She brought information that a report had reached Havanna!), previous to her sailing, that an in surrection had broken out at Porto Rico, and that the Government there had sent to Havanna!' for assist ance ; the• report was not generally credited. The steam-ship Hibernia, from Liverpool, of the Bth, and the United States from Havre, of the 10th, had not arrived on the departure of the Washington. News had been received at New York from Mexico and Vera Cruz after the departure of the Caledonia. The state of Mexico still continued in a dreadful state of anarchy and confusion, in conse quence of General Paredes' revolutionary rnovemtnt. Since the date of last advices he seems to have gained some ground, and had numbered a tclerable opposing force to Government, consisting of about 0 0 pieces of artillery, with 1,500 men in his ranks, and upwards of 4,000 muskets, with a handsome supply of munitions of war. He had erected forti fications at Guanajuata, in case of surprise from the Government troops, and also laid an embargo on the Mint there, seizing 600,000 dollars for the use of his band. The American troops were nearly all with drawn from the country, su that the Mexicans were left to fight their own insurrectionary battles. It is impossible to foresee the result of this move ment on the part of Paredes, but one thing is certain, that the state will at uny rate be embroiled in all the horrors of a civil war, unless Paredes be put down by the Government. There was no improvement in the Money Marke in New York after the sailing of the Caledonia. ARRIVAL OF LORD lIARDINGE. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNlNG.—Lieutenant-Gene ral Viscount Ilardinge has arrived in town, having left London yesterday', to give his invaluable co-operatio❑ in suppressing the insurrectionary movement in the south. This distinguished officer arrived in Kingstown by the Amphion, and reached town at half-past one o'clock by a special train of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway. The Gallant General proceeded to the Vice-regal Lodge Phoenix Park, to visit the Lord-Lieutenant. Lieutenant- General Sir Edward Blakeney, Commander of the Forces, has also gone to the Vice-regal Lodge. It is stated that Lord Hardinge is to proceed to join the army in the south to-morrow morning, but this is not certain. Up to last night there was no intelligence that could he relied on respecting the locality of the rebel leaders. Vague reports of all kinds were in circulation, one of which was to the effect that Generals O'Brien, Meagher, and Devin Reilly had succeeded in embarking on board a vessel in Galway, which was on the point of sailing to America. The Freeman's Journal of this morning contains the following : "Kilkenny, Tuesday Night, Nine o'Clock. " Up to this hour it is not known where Smith O'Brien is at present. In my dispatch of Sunday night I in formed you that Sub-Inspector Trent and his party of police retired from the house in which they had been surrounded, and reached their quarters in safety. I have since learned that Smith O'Brien and his men had moved off from the Ballingarry heights before the sub-inspector ventured to bring out his men into the open air, in con sequence of the approach from Thurles of General M'Donald with artillery and two thousand men. The general was brought up by Mr. Blake, the county in spector of Kilkenny, who had ordered Mr. Trant and other sub-inspectors to Ballingarry. It is said that Mr. O'Brien rode by himself from Ballingarry in the diree• Lion of Kilkenny. I heard to-day, ou what I would cer tainly call good authority, that a poor -rate collector or relieving officer saw Mr. O'Brien, in company with two other persons, riding across the country in the neigh bourhood of Clomanto, which is nine miles from this city on the Thurles r oa d, yesterday. I believe this statement to be true. There was a rumour afloat here that he was in Nenagh last night, but this is not generally credited. " From all I have heard on the subject I am disposed to think that he is in this county, and the measures taken by the authorities would indicate that they are of that opinion also. " The clergymen of many parishes have strongly ad vised their flocks not to join in any armed attack on, or resistance to, the authorities; and I have learned from a well-informed source, that the parish priest of tiding ford, in this county, prevented a number of people from going to Mr. O'Brien 's assistance on Saturday. It is be lieved that Mr. O'Brien fed most of those who flocked around him at his own expense, and strictly prohibited any of them from seizing provisions or cattle from farmers. Early to-day it was reported that a police barrack had been attacked at Thurles. At a later hour the rumour changed to Cashel, and gained more credit. Indeed it is confidently believed here, at this moment, that several of the Cashel police were killed in the attack, for a large body of constabulary have marched from Kilkenny in the Tipperary direction, and many of them said that • the City of the Kings' was their des tination. That some sudden intelligence caused them to get the route there is no doubt; for amongst them were forty-five policemen from the Piltuwn station, who had in the morning been ordered to return to that " You may depend on having the earliest intelligence of Mr. O'Brien's locale, when it shad be known here. " There are very vague accounts as to the killed and wounded at 'Ballingarry ; but I think you may rest as sured that not more than two were shot dead, though one hundred and thirty rounds of bail curtrid4es were fired by Mr. Trant's party. Amongst those wounded is a young man named Stephens, son of a respectable citi zen of Kilkenny, who became acquainted with Mr. O'Brien whilst acting as assistant-engineer on a line of railway running near Cahirmoyle. Mr. Stephens is wounded in the . thigh." The reporter of the Freeman's Journal, writing from Kilkenny, says that, according to rumour, Smith O'Brit-n was in Nenagh on Monday. The Nenagh Guardian of yesterday evening gives some confirmation to this ru mour. Our contemporary says:— " We have just learned that Mr. O'Brien was seen on horseback on Saturday afternoon, on a road in this riding of this county, with a handkerchief tied about his leg, from which the blood from a wound was flowing." A respectable solicitor, name Taaffe, was arrested this morning in his own house by two of the detective police, who conveyed him away in a covered car. About the same time the edit or o f t h e D rogheda Argus—Mr. they Morran—was arrested on a charge of treasonable practices. He was a leading orator and orga nizer in the Mitchel Club at Drogheda. In Dublin Mr. Meyler, president of the late " Citi zens' Club," was arrested of treasonable practices. There are several others mentioned. The Cork Southern Reporter of yesterday (Tuesday) says—" A rumour was prevalent in this city (Cork) yesterday (Monday) that Mr. R. O'Gorman, jun., was shot in a collision with the authorities at Tarbert. This rumour, we understand, had its origin in the fact, that a gentleman, named O'Gormon, who had lately arrived from America, and resided at Tarbert, committed suicide on Saturday. The phonological similarity be tween the two names doubtlessgave rise to the mistake." The proclamations cautioning all parties of the penal ties that await them in the event of their harbouring the rebel leaders were posted all over town last night, and have created intense excitement among the lower classes. The Kilkenny Moderator, received this morning has an interesting account of the battle of Ballingarry. Our well-informed contemporary, who writes from the neigh bourhood of the fight, cannot say positively the number of killed, which he gives at eleven --the wounded indefi nite. It is not unlikely that a majo!ity of the 130 shots fired by the police took effect upo❑ the mass of men ex posed to them. The Nenagh Guardian states that but three were killed. That journal says : "The names of the three men killed are—Pollard, of Ballingarry ; Brett, of Ballytarsna ; and Bridge, of Coolquil—all men in comfortable circumstances, and farmers of a respectucle class." Within the last few days upwards of 400 pikes and 60 casks of ammunition have been seized by the autho rities in the immediate neighbourhood where the ren contre took place between the rebels and the police. The Limerick Reporter of yesterday says:—" Since the passing of the late Act, it is said that the inhabitants of several districts in the country have resulted to pay neither rents, tithes, nor taxes." SEARCH AT CAHERNIOYLE, THE RESIDENCE OF WM. SMITH O'BRIEN, ESQ., M.P. LIMERICK, MONDAY.—Tha town of Rathkeale was thrown into the greatest excitement yesterday, in conse quence of a demonstration on the part of the police and military, who proceeded in battle array to Cahermoyle, the residence of William Smith O'Brien, Esq., M.P., for the purpose of making a search for papers, &c. It ap pears that, acting on false information, which is now spread far and wide for an obvious purpose, orders were given from head-quarters to make the search; and that it was industriously prosecuted, there cannot be a second opinion. Every room in the house was closely searched —every box opened —every escrutoire examined—every nook and corner explored; but it is almost unnecessary to add that. nothing on earth was discovered that could throw the slightest light on the authorities, further than they have been already informed. None of the Caher moyle family were at home.—Tipperary Vindicator. ATTACK ON THE POLICE BARRACKS AT THURLES. A correspondent of the Freeman's Journal states : " I have just aicertained that the insurgents attacked the police barrack at Thurles last night, but were re pulsed. Six of them were shot. " A large constabulary force, a detachment of in fantry, and one troop of hussars have just started for that place. " The correspondence of Dr. Cane has been subjected to censorship." " RIOTS IN Tuonnits.—On Saturday last, when the news of Smith O'Biien's encampment at Ballingarry and the beleaguered state of the Sub-Inspector Trant's party reached Thurles, the inhabitants of that patriotic villiage immediately turned out en masse and proce e d e d to arm themselves with all kind ot instruments alike of war and husbandry, intending imme i di ,ie a lna te rt l s y ituh to flaut m ent a h r ee c e h , as a reinforcement to the rebel army.

The Ocean Steam Navigation Company's steam ship Washington, Captain Johnson, arrived in Cowes Roads this morning, at one o'clock. Her mails and passengers were forwarded to Southampton imme diately, and the ship proceeded to Bremen. The Washington sailed from New York on the 20th, at one, P.m., and has therefore performed the voyage in thirteen days and a half, beating her Liverpool com petitor by twelve hours. The Washington brings on freight 75,000 dollars, and a full cargo, but only twenty passengers. By this arrival we are in possession of one day's later news from the United States.

The illness of this highly respected gentleman was of a more serious character than was generally sup posed; and we yesterday (Monday) learned from a gen tleman who had just arrived from Leeds, that Mr. Baines expired early on Monday morning. The deceased was about seventy-three years of age. He was the architect of his own fortune, having by industry, energy, thrift, and ability, wrought up his way in the world from the position of a journeyman printer, until he became one of the most prominent mu) in Leeds, and the representative of that town in three successive ParliaMents. At the commencement of the present century be obtained pos. session 01 the Leeds Mercury, which, in his hands, gra dually increased in popularity, until it became one of the most widely circulated 'arid profitable of provincial jour nals. Under the editorship and control of his sons, the paper said retains its high position. air. Baines was the author of several works, one of which," The History of the French War," rapidly became very popular, and attained a great sale. The deceased was highly re spected by all who knew him, for his private qualities; and in his public capacity ho so mingled suavity, kind nweisnslha e n d e ocno fi n d s i e d n e c r e a t a n n i n d , re w s i p t e h et tir o m f h ne is ss op o p f o p n ri e n n c t i s ple, as to .—Man chester Examiner, EXECUTION AT WINC HESTER. —Yester d ay morn ing, at nine o'clock, the convict, William Atter, who was convicted at the last assizes Of the premeditated murder of O'Connor, his keeper, in Portsmouth dockyard, suf fered death for his crime at Winchester gaol. The cir cumstances of the deed have already been placed before our readers in the assize intelligence. The wretched man was born of decent parents at Great Gonerby, in Lincolnshire. Having lost his father when a child, he was above the control of his mother, and (although ap prenticed to a good master, as a blackmith) he fell into the company of dissolute people, which led eventually to his ruin. He was sentenced to be transported for seven years for housebreaking ; and after being released, at the expiration of half his time, for good conduct, he en listed us a soldier ; and having d eserte d , an d become destitute, he then committed a highway robbery, for which he was sentenced to be transported for life, and was placed on board the York hulk, in Portsmouth har bour, where, by his own account, from being very bad in disposition, he became much worse, and eventually he resolved on murdering the man for whose death his own life was yesterday taken. THE TRANSATLANTIC STEAMERS..-17110 celerity of the Royal Mail steamers which run between Liver pool and the United States is again proved by a new triumph. The steam-ship Niag ara left Boston on the 14th of June, and arrived back in less than 11 days on the 12th ult., having twice crossed the Atlantic within the space of 28 days, besides unloading and loading at the close of each run. These performances are truly unexampled, and the liberality of the company in a re cent instance deserves notice a n d commen d at i on . A passenger outward by the Nia gara was ro bb e d on hi s arrival of 1,400 dolls. The event left him, with his fa mily, destitute, and the fact h av i ng reached t h e com mander of the Niagara, he proceeded to New York and tendered to the unfortunate individual a free passage back for himself and family. The Niagara is expected on her return about Sunday next.

L se a n s t t into the, The police authorities having received information that th e two bodies intended to hold a series of meetings during the following evenings of the week, and also next, made the most ample provision for putting downy any riot, if such had been attempted. Three hundred policemen were in reserve at Moor-lane station'house, Lwinedreamt e e n qu it a i l p d l i a s i t n an e c ie e t s h f e r e om pla t e h e e d f t e h r ea th tr e e p t u o rpose of pass ing the intelligence to the ehief depot, in the event of r n a g t e t o el r e e t q h u e i s re w i e t r . e night a c m es en tra in nsp p i r r i i theatre for the purpose of ascertaining whether the places of the intended meetings were wade public. The only place as yet made known is R • ennington common, where a meeting is announced to take place at taree o'clock on Sunday next. To that place the men of Ireland are called upon to attend in their thousands and tens of thousands. The Government has already been made acquainted with th e intention of holdin g the meet inp,(e, in spite of the recent notice issued by the Metro politan and City Commissionere, declaring all open air meetings illegal, and that means will be adopted to pre vent them. Every preparation will he made, there is little doubt, to prevent the meeting from takin g p l ace. The parties who attended the Milton-street Theatre last night were for the most part Irishmen, and although their proceedings were of a most boisterous character, nothing arose to call for the attendance of the p o li ce. Mr. Frederick Bond Hughes was present on the part of the Government, The usual speeches condemnatory of the ministerial policy were made, and the meeting separated. HORSHAM ELECTION.—The qui tans action against the Attorney-General for alleged bribery at a recent election at Horsham, when his son was returned (since unheated on petition) has been withdrawn. The case was entered as " Newinarch v.

THE GENTLEMEN v. THE PLAYERS. This match was resumed and brought to a conclusion, yesterday, at Lord's, in the presence of a vast assem blage of spectators, amongst whom we noticed the Earl of Yerulam, the Earl of Strathmore, the Earl of Darnley, Viscount Chelsea, Lord Burghley, Lord Ward, Lord and Lady F. Beauclerk, Lord H. Loftus, Lord F. Fitzroy, the Hon. F. Ponsonby, the Hon. S. Ponsonby, lion. E. H. Grimston, Hon. R. Gritnston, Hon. F. Griuiston, Hen. E. Bligh, Hon. Captain Lawley, Hon. C. Lyon, Hon. Captain Vivian, Sir F. Bathurst, Sir M. Farquhar, Sir W. Somerville, Sir A. Mackenzie, &c. The :result of this contest has been the cause of large sums of money changing hands, for although the Gen 11,:icen were on the first day disposed of for 31 runs, still in the end they have been proclaimed as the victors by a majority of 27 runs. To the glorious efforts of A. Mynn, this result may be mainly attributed, for hilst in the second innings he obtained 66 runs, so in the second hands of the Players ho was instrumental in the demolishment of eight wickets. The pressure upon our columns prevents our entering into any details of this extraordinary match, and therefore we are compelled to . content ourselves with the score only, which at the close of the day stood as follows THE GENTLEMEN.

Miss Itostsa COLLINS.—This talented young violiniste, whose performance at Madame Sala's concert caused such a sensation, has just returned from the country. She performed at Alcester and Stratford upon-Avon with the greatest success, having been una nimously encored at both places for her admirable exe cution of Paganini's variations to "Le Carneval de Venise;" on her re-appearance she played that exquisite morceau, "Le Tremolo," by De Beriot, with the most brilliant effect. We understand that indefatigable caterer for public amusements, Monsieur Jullien, has engaged the juvenile virtuoso for his concerts next season. MUSICAL RE-uNiosr.—We understand a splendid array of talent will appear at Madame St. Leger's soirée musicale next Monday evening, when three new ballads, Hope's Bright Dream," " One Smile from Thee," and "The Forsaken Mother," written and composed by her and her curo sposo, will be sueg by Madame Anna Thillon, Miss Bassano, and Mr. T. Williams. MARRIAGES IN SCOTLAND.—Yesterday a Bill, which has passed the House of Lords, was printed by order of the House of Commons. " to amend the law of Scotland affecting the constitution of Marriage." This measure will effectually prevent Gretna-green marriages, as it is provided by the first section that, from the let of January next, marriages in Scotland shall only be solem nized in presence of a clergyman, or by parties proposing to be married by registration appearing in the presence of the registrar. The word " clergyman" is to include persons authorised, and any person acting as such, with out due authority, to be liable to an imprisonment of two years, but the validity of marriages so contracted not to be affected.
