Bet p r i d " — No btudness transacted at this establishmeat from sun weisek.47, till asset Saturday. when business is resumed till twelve ~;~;,~-- into effect, to sub', the consitutio - -'The defence was, that every act chitrged and pro against the prisoner was perfectlyaeconcileable wi his intending nothing niore than to protect either-himself or Mr. O'Brien from ` , st. They were not to inquire whether at a future tod the prisoner intended to levy war, but whether he so at the actual time mentioned in the indictment. The question for them to try was; whether the insurrec tion had been directed to the attainment of a general object of a treasonable character. He contended that the jury could not construe againt the prisoner what oc curred at Mullinahone by his speech at Liverpool. All the evidence adduced against him was perfectly value less, unless it fixed the character of the offence laid in the indictment, and, therefore, the speeches at Liverpool, or the letter of Mr. O'Brien, were altogether not only out of the case, but cal culated to mislead the jury, unless they referred to or bore upon the counts laid in the indictment. Suppose they were to believe that his client made a trea sonable speech at Liverpool. That was not the question they had to try. They must take the indictment in their hand—outside it must not go; and the question then for their consideration was, not did his client make such a treasonable speech, but did he levy war against her Ma jesty at Mullinahone ? What had the speech in Liver pool, of the 6th of June, to do with the explanation of transactions occurring in the county of Tipperary in July ? Nothing. With regard to his visit to Dublin, the facts connected with that visit were simply these. His object in coming was business alone ; but upon his arrival, finding that the Habeas Corpus Act had been suspended, and fearing that he might be arrested in Dublin, and therefore prevented from returning to Liver speoeo e h w e h q e u ietet could b h e e s t c m i ty a kand his p r e o s c e e a e p d e e d fr e t o m e k e e n e n u y n , t r to y. That was an inference which he conceived might be tairly drawn from the fact that his name was inserted in the proclamation contained in the Gazette of the 28th of July. Unfortunately, while there, he heard of Mr. O'Brien being in the neighbourhood, and immediately joined him to prevent bins being arrested, or to resist such arrest if it were made with respect to the occurrences which then took place. Two ques tions would arise for the consideration of the jury ; first, what was the design of those movements be fore M'Manus's arrival; and secondly how far be adop ted that design or identified himself with the principles which characterised it. It was his (Mr. Butt's) inten tion to rest his client's case on this, that 1 . • sole object %thro hug out the entire of these proceedings was to midst 411 sheltering Mr. O'Brien and himself from arrest.. Be. yond all question, the suspension of the Habeas Cori . , Act, and the rumour that a warrant was issued for Mr. • O'Brien's arrest, were the causes of the melancholy oc currences ,which followed. . Had the news arrived in Dublin that the Bill was thrown out, was there a man In that court who would hesitate a moment is saying that no outbreak would have taken place? If that were so, how could the jury believe that any insurrectionary pur pose existed in the minds of those men now accused of high treason? Where was the evidence of any general plan of insurrection —where of an attack made on a pro vincial town, or anything calculated to fasten on theta movements the character of high treason? In the case of Emmett such did exist;; his intentions were manifest, for his plan was to make an attack on the. Castle of Dublin which was, no doubt, treason of an intelligible character. Amongst his papers was found a list of the intended pro visional government; but it was not intelligible that any set of rational men would' embark in a movement whose object was to subvert the country, and not leave the smallest trace of any plan for that which was to super sede it. It is certain that a large number of persons assembled at Mullinabone, 6,000 at least; and was not that sufficient to induce a rebel leader to- place himself at their head, and raise the standard of revolt? What better auspices could a man commence a rebellion under than the possession of 6,000 men? The Prince of l O a r n a d ng , a e n , who and had d n i e d t s s u o brt the o ve naento G m ov ee e t rn h m i m en , t, landed and in Eng- yet be suc ceeded. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to dwell on the circumstances which took place at Mullins hone, Killenaule, and Ballingarry, and concluded by saying he felt that he was under many disadvantages in addressing them, being a stranger in the country, and not knowing the topics that were likely to have weight with them. His client was there before them, far from his own home and country, to answer to those who knew nothing of his history, character, or con nexions. He (Mr. Butt) made no appeal to their feel ings; he felt that he laboured under the additional dis advantage of not addressing them on behalf of a man of their own rank in life; but, believing the jury he ad dressed to be Christian men, he was satisfied the case of this stranger would receive from them just as anxious a consideration as if they were trying the first nobleman in the land. The Learned Counsel then resumed his seat, and was applauded by the audience in the gallery. The following witnesses were then called and exa mined for the prisoner:— Thomas Lyons—He was a merchant in the city of Cork, of which place he was first mayor under the Re form Bill. He knew the prisoner, who was a commis sion agent in Liverpool, and held a high and honourable character. John Carmichael examined—He was a merchant in Cork, and knew the prisoner, who was a forwarding agent in Liverpool, He was well known in Cork as a must respectable person. James Tidmarsh examined—He was a grand juror of the city of Kilkenny, and knew the prisoner well. He had large mercantile transactions with him, and always found him to be a man of the highest honour tthsi of the stricu-st integrity. Hobert A. Carleton deposed that he was a trader, residing in I'Vattrford, and knew the prisoner as the forwarding agent of their house in Liverpool. His dcJtngs were alb. ays honourable, and from the reap, ct entrrtained for him he wits the most rising forwarding agent in Liverpool. The prisoner was a native of .1110- naglian,. in the north of Ireland. Mau: ice Lenihan, Esq., proved that he was proprietor of he Tipperary Vindicator, and became a member of the 'B2 Club in 1845. The late Mr. O'Connell was a member, us was Sir Coleman O'Loghlen, on whom he had seen the uniform. t3tr Coleman O'Loghlen, Bart., examined—He was one of the Vice-Presidents of the 'B2 Club, of which Lord Cloncurry and Lord Ffrench were members. The uniform was always worn at dinners of the club, and h• frequently saw Mr. bPManus at those dinners with the uniform. John George Hodges deposed that he saw the uniform last worn at the soirée given on the 15th of April to Mr. O'Brien, on the return of the deputation from France. Those who wore the dress were principally those called Conciliation llall Repealers. Horace Fitzgerald, brother to the late Member for the county of Tipperary, proved his having seen bis brother wear the uniform at dinner parties and balls, both in Dublin and elsewhere, and also by Mr. Roche, the re presentative for the county Cork. The case for the prisoner then closed, and the jury were addressed by Mr. O'Callaghan in a speech of con siderable power. r wag hirds, rwicic k and 'refer and go. North and The CHIEF JUSTICE said that was the time for the prisoner to address to the Court any observations which he might desire to make. The prisoner said, I have nothing to say to the jury, my Lord, but to endorse all that has been already said by both my counsel. All I desire to say is, that I did not belong to any Chartist society. I pledge my.honour as a man that I never did. I never attended any of their meetings, nor was I connected with them in any shape or form. In consequence, however, of the lateness of the hour, aid a culd caught by the Solicitor-General, his reply was postponed until the sitting of the Court to-morrow morning. The Court adjourned at six o'clock. Notwithstanding the advice of Mr. O'Brien, in his letter to his agent, Mr. Potter, which appeared yesterday, several of the witnesses examined against him, and for the Crown, were assaulted and beaten severely on their return home. Informations have been sworn against the parties. CONSECRATION OF CHRIST CHURCII, HIGHBURY. Yesterday forenoon this neat and elegant little edifice, situated at Highbury, was duly con secra t e d, together with its circumjacent burial-ground, by the Lord Bishop of London, who was assisted by about forty members of the clergy of his diocese. A nu merous and highly respectable auditory assembled in the church to witness the impressive ceremony, and many inhabitants of the neighbourhood congregated outside, for whom no room could be found within the walls of the sacred edifice. At the conclusion of the solemn rite, the Right Rev. Prelate who performed it also preached the inaugural sermon, which was an eloquent and appropriate discourse, and was listened to with the most marked attention by the whole of the congregation. It may not be out of place here to state that Christ Church, llighbury, is a district church, and was built in order to remedy the long-felt inadequacy of the existing church accommodation for the increas ing wants of the neighbourhood. The requisite funds were raised by subscription, and the total cost is 6,0001. The building is about 110 feet in length, and contains seats for 800 persons. The style of its architecture is that prevalent in the 14th century, Mr. T. Allow (well known to the world as an artist, whose engraved works of " Constantinople and the Seven Churches," and "Prance in the 19th Century," have gained considerable celebrity), being the archi tect. The exterior is constructed of Kentish rag stone, with decorated Bath stone windows and quoins. The centre is of a novel form, being designed iwith the intention of affording a view of the preacher and the communion service to the whole of the congrega tion. There is an organ screen of stone, and the pulpit and reading-desk are of the same material. The building is excellently lit, the principal windows being most beautiful specimens of stained glass. The edifice, both in its exterior and interior, are highly ornamented, but chastely so, presenting nothing that approaches to over loaded redundancy on the one haioi, or that borders upon unseemly gaudiness on. the other; and it is evidently in no small degree debted for its very pretty and picturesque effect to the talented architect having brought to his task th e unusual advantage of previ o u s extensive practice 111 the sister art of painting.

" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to7the virtues of Mr. G.'s itegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex ^erlence, not only in the restoration and production of hair in ahund ince, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iti far beyond any to her taste.

In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mace it strong, and Prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A tew drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the crown et the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an nour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes.

CELIBACY. —Singleness is not always the con• sequence of disinclination, disappointed affection, or a diffi culty in meeting with a tit helpmate. Thousands of the unmarried would witk joy embrace the sacred conditions of Matrimony, did they feel themselves equal to its obligations; and the chequered page of life reveals innumerable instances where, under that blighting consciousness, man has permitted tho most ardent affec tion to consume him to the grave, rather than consign its object to that life of unmitigable anguish and fettered solitariness into which his affianced would he plunged if he married. Some are, however, wilful enough to gain the affections of the other sex under these circumstances; and, though not so villanous as to proceed to the altar, will make such excuses for procrastination as contribute to his selfish desire of exclusively enjoying her society, by precluding her from accepting other offers. There is scarcely a street where this history is not enacted ; and yet with the exercise of common foresight, its frequency might be so lessened as to ren der an instance rare throughout the entire kingdom. The disqualifications for Marriage have more than one primary source ; the chief of which is Impuissance, arising from four causes :—namely, Natural Deficiency ; the Prostration produced by Early Mabits ; the Weakening effects of Later Excesses ; and Nervousness of Tempera ment ; the next sources of importance are hereditary and acquired disease ; and, lastly, men are prevented from marrying by the effects of disease—which, when 111-cured, leaves traces that forbid all im pulse towards wedlock. In each of these instances it is unhappily too common for the sufferer to consider his case beyond remedy, sad he fails to consult even his own medical attendant. such will find all obstacles removed by reference to a valuable Manual on Nervous Debility and Generative diseases, the thirty-seventh thousand of whick has just been published by its Authors, J.

Gd., in postage stamps, has sated thousaads, and the result of Its perusal has In variably been a restoration of the reader to his position as a useful mem ler of society. L 0 V E is the leading feeling of the human breast. More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its inguence, or can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take place, however, this passion, this fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. llow is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently b e beyond measure deplorable 1 Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both' a life of unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work er.titled SELF-PRESERVATION , illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observa tions on the secret Infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from solitary habits, excesses, or infection.

CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD.—FLOATING OF THE SECOND GREAT TUBULAR BRIDGE OVER THE CONWAY. Yesterday the second great tubular bridge over the Conway Straits was floated on the pontoons to the . piers. The operation, combined with the stupendous machinery employed in the probess, attracted large crowds from Con way an d other parts o f th e pri nc i-' pality. Everythi ng f avoured the lifting of the levia-, than structure, Th e w i n d was fa i r, the Conway water calm, and the ra i n t h at fel l d ur i ng the night had the effect of c aus i ng a cop i ous f a ll ,o f f res h w ater; from the heights, thus holding baek the tide, and tempering the strengh of the carrot, so essential to : the success of the great op era ti on . • At precisely nine o'clock, or fifty minutes before high water, Captain Claxton, R.N., noted for his successful exertions in raisinifintitier monster structure, the Great Britain, gave, through a powerful speaking-trumpet, used for the - purpoise of directing the engineers and the sailors aboye and below, the signal to pipe all hands, and al most immediately the tremendous freight was seen nibving stealthily to its destination. Next him were Mr. Robert Stephenson, M.P., the engineer, the de sip Tier of this new feature in engineering art; Mr. Edwin Clarke, C.E., his principal assistant ; Mr. A. M. Ross, C.E. ; Mr. W. Evans, the contractor ; Mr. Frank Forster, C.E.; and near it Sir Charles Smith, Bart., Mr. Amos, the Bishop of Bangor, the Rev. Mr. Morgan, Mr. J. 0. Burger, and a large number of the gentry and scientific men, whose names and titles we could not ascertain. _ The tube was lifted in about sixty minutes, com mencing at a few minutes past nine, and with its weight of 1,300 tons was got safely home at a few minutes past ten, amid enthusiastic bursts from the bystanders, and a salvo of artillery from the castle walls. The entire operation was effected without the slightest accident. This was the more gratifying, as upon the previous occasion one man had the mis fortune to break his leg. Three cheers were given for " Stephenson." Go where you will in Wales, the question is, " Have you seen the tube ? " To give a popular idea of the huge fabric that now spans, or seems to hover over the Conway, the reader has only to imagine in his mind's eye the Thames Tunnel transposed—that is to say, suspended 18 feet over, instead of passing so many feet under the Thames, with no midway support, but slung over, like the bridge at Hunger ford, without even the supporting chains, and only resting upon piers 400 feet apart. Through this great iron tube, upon rails within, p - ass the trains from London to Holyhead. It is looked upon as one of the greatest works of modern engineering skill, and is the joint production of Mr. Stephen-. son, the eminent engineer, Mr. Fairbairn, Mr. Hodgkinson, and Mr. Clarke, Mr. Stephenson's assistant. Mr. Stephenson states that it is six or seven years ago since he first entertained the idea of constructing bridges with wrought iron plates, ri vetted together. It was at a period when all the ordinary kinds of bridges were being discussed that he eventually hit upon the notion, and designs were completed for an iron tubular bridge in principle the same as at present. It was effectually completed, it answered its purpose, and is now to be seen on the Northern and Eastern Railway. From that time it' appears that the idea fell for a period, i n consequence of the expensa of wrought iron exceeding. that of cast, until the period of commencing the Chester and. I lolyhead Railway. The original design was to cross: the Conway by iron arches of very lar ge di mens i ons ,. from 400 to 450 feet span, and when the tube bridge was proposed. before Parliament it WM received in the 'Committee with zw..-cautity,: — . _ Tae scenery all around is excessively beautiful, and the whole structure of the tube, one of which re-' poses at the foot of Conway Castle, is, with its cas tellated masonry, in excellent keeping. With the broad estuary below, and the hill of Benmarth in the background, the view is very picturesque and im posing. The tube itself is composed of a series of iron plates, rivetted together like armour work. Its entire length is 424 feet, the actual span over the Conway being 400 feet ; its greatest inside width is 14 feet throughout, its height 224 feet, at each end; but rising to 2.5 feet in the middle, the additional three feet being given to lessen the deflection of the bases. The total weight of each tube is 1,300 tons, so that the superimposed weight, now' that the two tubes are at rest over the Conway, is 2,600 tons burthen from bank to bank. The elevation of the tubes from their bottom is 18 feet above high-water mark. The wrought iron plates, of which the sides, top, and bot tom are composed) vary from h a lf an i nc h t o seven eighths of an inchin thickness. To a person standing in the middle of the tube the light from either end resembles a dim twilight. The end of the tube on the Conway side rests altogether on the masonry of the pier, but the other end of it is supported by cast iron rollers under the bottom, and by brass balls at the top, by which the tube has freedom to expand or contract, according to the degree of heat or cold acting on it ; and from this circumstance it varies about one inch in length. The entire tube, we under stand, has taken twelvemonths to construct. On the iron floor of the tube about 70 solid tranverse beams are laid, about 12 inches square, and five feet in the clear apart. Upon these cross beams are laid longi tudinally, and to these the cradles that secure the rails for the trains to pass upon are screwed. Each tube has cost about 60,0001. Now that the tube has been successfully raised, what is called the " testing process," a most important one, will follow. This will be done by removing the we dges that support the tube upon its cradle, the ends of the tube being left with a hohi of six feet each on the stone piers. To ascertain the flexure of the tube, about 30 ballast waggons, each filled with iron, i n a ll 300 tons, will then be placed, and remain for a given period in the centre. One a dvantageous feature of th e operat i on was that the pontoons in in their progress ma d e no water. To morrow or Monday the whole s t ruc t ure w ill b e com ns of the hydrauli c m achines.

SITILEWSBURY, THURSDAY.-- To-day a general holiday, such as neither Shrewsbury nor Chester have 'for a long time seen, was observed on the occasion of uniting both by the completion of the through line into Shrewsbury, the first railway, in fact, w ith which the latter place has as yet been endowed. At as early an hour as seven o'clock both towns were astir, and at that hour the first excursion train left Chester, drawn by three engines, with colours flying and bands playing, with seventeen carriages attached, containing Mr. Ormsby Gore, M.P., the chairman ; Major Gore, Mr. Roy, the secretary; Mr. Robinson, the engineer; Mr. Knox, managing director of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham ; Mr. Williams, the banker; Dr. Jones, Mayor of Chester, the members of the corporation, and a large number of the gentry. At half-past ten it returned, taking the Mayor and corporation of Shrewsbury, who, after sundry cour teous exchanges, returned to Shrewsbury at about two o'clock, in a monster train of fifty carriages and three engines. Between 1,000 and 2,000 free tickets were issued by the directors, and half Chester tra- CORONERS' INQUESTS. An inquest was held yesterday at the Goldsmiths' Arms, Southwark-bridge-road, on the body of John Grey, aged four years, whose death occurred under the !following extraordinary circumstances :—lt ap poared that deceased was the son of a costermonger living at No. 3, Red Cross-street, and on Tuesday last the family, consisting of two or three children and their father and mother, dined together. They all partook of some conger eel, of which deceased ate more freely than the rest, and was shortly afterwards attacked by violent sickness and diarrhoea. The pa rents did not deem it necessary to call in medical advice until the folloWing day, when Mr. Randall, a surgeon, was called in. He stated that he found de ceased labouring under all the apparent - effects of cholera—viz., violent purging and pains in the limbs, &c. He applied the proper remedies but without effect, and deceased expired the same day. From a subsequent examination, and from the information of the parents, he had no doubt of death being the result of the poisonous effects of the fish. The whole of the family had suffered more or less from the same cause, and the father was now labouring under its effects. ,The Coroner thought it was of equal im-` portauce that the matter shonld go ft,rth to the public, whether the death had arisen from cholera or from the cause assigned by the medical witness, as in bath cases it was necessary that a caution should be given. After some further inquiry, the jury re corded a verdict in accordance with the medical te4timony. Yesterday Mr. Bedford, the coroner, attended for the second time during the present week at the Millbank prison, and held two inquiries on the bodies of Joseph Scott, aged 40, and Stephen Balkwell, aged 38, late convicts at that gaol, and whose deaths happened under the following circumstances. The evidence proved that Scott was admitted into the prison on the 31st of January last from Springfield gaol, and sen tenced to ten years' transportation for housebreaking and larceny, after two previous convictions. He went on very well until the sth of March, when he saw the doctor ; he was suffering then from tubercular disease; ulceration of the glands followed, and he gradually sank and died on the 11 th instant. In the case of Balk well it was stated that he was received from Exeter prison, under sentence of fourteen years' transportation in May last, having been convicted of two cases of burglary. He died at twelve o'clock on that day (yesterday) from continued fever, by which he had been attacked a few days previously. Fever still continued to be very prevalent in the prison, and several prisoners w ere now suffering its effects. under effects. A verdict of "Natu ral death" was returned in both cases. On Wednesday night Mr. G. J. Mills held an in quest at the Fisherman's Arms, Old OA Common, Willesden, on the body of Edward Armstead, aged forty-five, a coach and harness-plater, of Cochrane terrace, St. John's-wood. It appeared that the de ceased had been in a very low and depressed state of mind, arising from the death of his wife, for whose loss he was inconsolable. He left his employment as usual on the evening of the 3tl inst. to return home, but did not do so; and early on the following morn ing his hat was found floating in the Junction Canal, at the above place, and on the morning of Monday his body was found near the same spot by some boat men, who, there is every reason to believe, stripped the body of a considerable sum of money, a pair of gold spectacles, and other articles which the deceased had about him, as a boy who was present when the body was discovered saw some of the articles taken by the men. There was no marks of external vio lence, and the jury, in the absence of further evidence, returned a verdict of found dead. Yesterday Mr. W. Baker held an inquest, at the London Hospital, on the body of Mr. Christopher J. Smith, aged 40. The deceased was the landlord of the Fountain public-house, James-street, Bethnal green. On Michaelmas-day last same alterations were in progress at his house, and he ascended a ladder which broke under him, and he sustained a compound fracture of the leg. He was taken to the above hospital, where he died on Tuesday last from the effects of the injary. Verdict, "Accidental death." Yesterday Mr. W. Baker held an inquest at the Royal Mason, Poplar, on the body of a male person, name unknown. The deceased was found early on Tuesday morning last in the river Thames, off Black wall stairs. From the dress he appeared to be a sea faring man, about 35 years of age, stout built, with sandy hair and whiskers ; he had a foul anchor im pressed on his right arm, and the letters K. B. on the left. He is supposed to be the person who fell over board from the Dublin steam-packet in its passage down the river, on last Wednesday week, but in the absence of positive testimony a verdict of "Found dead" was recorded. THH LATE FATAL ACCIDENT AT PORTSMOUTH.— The coroner's inquest upon the bodies of the unfor tunate victims of the gale on Monday, at Spithead, was resumed on Wednesday afternoon at four o'clock, when the following evidence was elicited :—Margaret Moore, the young woman whose life was saved by her Majesty's boat's crew, stated that herself and the other Party (whose names we gave on Wednesday) put off in a boat from the Portsea Strand about two o'clock on Monday, intending to go on board the Grampus frigate at Spithead, on board which they all had relatives or friends ; and that when outside the harbour's mouth, along the Blockhouse shore, reach ing towards the frigate, they became alarmed, a n d wished t o re t urn , b u t the apprehension not being general the wish of herself was not complied with, as the watermen said there was no danger. Whilst the salute was being fired by the fleet on the Queen pas sing, one of the waterrnen got up to shift the sail, when a sea and squall took the boat and turned her over, all in her being plunged into the water. No help was near, and they drifted some distance ; witness by means of a board out of the boat and one of the oars kept herself afloat until picked up by the royal barge.—Mr. Whitty, the Custom-house officer, deposed to picking up the waterman Locke, as already described. Samuel Underhill, coxswain of her Majesty's yacht, deposed to his Royal Highness the Prince Consort's first seeing the extent of the N OCTOBER 13, 1848. yelled to and, fro between the two towns during the day. The stations and eminences about Shrewsbury and Chester were crowded with spectators throughout the day. The line has for its object the opening out the mi neral districts of North Wales, connecting them with the manufacturing districts, as well as forming an improved communication between the estuaries of the Dee and the Bristol Channel. It was expected to be opened in August, but the wet weather retarded it. The line for upwards of sixty miles traverses the rich vale of the divisionary boundary of the principality, and of the western counties. Birkenhead may be looked upon as its main goods terminus. Besides embracing the agricultural districts of Shropshire, it is intended to furnish a new means of export to the vast mineral resources of North and Central Wales, the produce of the slate quarries, and the manufac turing commodities of Manchester, Liverpool, Ches ter, Oswestry, and other places. At present these have to be carried by a circuitous route of more than fifty miles. It will likewise be a summer and plea sure line, leading to th e wa teri ng pl aces o f W a l es , to Llangollen, Aberystwith, and the most attractive scenery of the district.- Arrangements have been made ny which passengers are to be cheaply con veyed every day from Liverpool and other places to these points. 'The line is made up of an amalgama tion of what were the North Wales Mineral line, and the Shrewsbury, Oswestry; and Chester Junction. It passes through four counties—Cheshire, Flintshire, Denbighshire, and Salop—oommences in junction with the Shrewsbury and Hereford and Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway, passes through Oswestry, Chirp, Ru r abota, and Wrexham, and terminating in junction with the Chester and Holyhead Railway at Chester. The most striking work, as you traverse the line, is the great viaduct over the valley of the Dee, in the vale of: Llangollen, which, in dimension, surpasses any other in the Kingdom. It is upwards of 150 feet above the level of the river, being 30 feet higher than the viaduct at Stockport, on the London and North Western, which has hitherto been considered the greatest work of the kind. Its length is 1,530 feet, or nearly one-third of a mile long, it is supported by 19 arches of 90 feet span ; it connects that part of the line between Rhos and Chirk. The viaduct which has been erected by Messrs. Brassev and Mackenzie, the contractors, has cost upwards of 100,0001. The works in general are substantially constructed, and, in consequence of the favourable nature of the soil, the line will be cheaply maintained. The next work of magnitude is the Cheater station, next to the Derby station at Derby. It is one of the largest in the kingdom. It is a central point where several lines converge ; it -has cost 100,0001., and is to be used jointly and paid for jointly, by the London and North-Western, the Shrewsbury and Chester, the Chester and Birkenhead, and the Birkenhead, Lan cashire, and Cheshire. The station at Shrewsbury is on a similar though less extensive scale, and will be paid for proportionally by the lines that enter there. The first return train for Chester would reach there at about nine o'clock. The public dinner, in cele bration of the event commenced as our express left. UNION CANAL COMPANY. On-Tuesday a general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held in Mr. Paxton's hall, Royal Exchange, for the purpose of considering and deciding upon a proposal to amalgamate with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company. Colonel M'Donald, of Powderhall, occupied the chair. Mr. ELLis read the heads of agreement between the Union Canal Company and the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company. These were to the effect that the two companies should be amalgamated, on the principle that the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company were to have the canal, and certain houses and offices necessary to the working of it; the canal company to retain all the other lands, property, feuing ground, &c., which, estimated at 20,0001., would be applied to the extinction of the debt. The railway company, in return, undertake to give 1,058 of their 1001. shares to the holders of the unburdened shares of the canal company, and 82 such shares to the holders of burdened shares ; and such stock to be issued to the shareholders of the canal company within one month after the passing of the Act for carrying this agreement into effect ; and which Act both parties bind themselves to apply for in the next session of Parliawent. The railway company are also to assume a sum not exceeding 95,0001. of the debt of the canal company. otr JOHN ir-LADSTONH of Fasque, moved that they should agree to the proposed arrangement, and remit it to a committee of management with instructions to carry it into effect. A SHAREHOLDER said, before agreeing to the motion, he wished to have a little more information on the subject. •He should like particularly to know if the Forth and Clyde Canal Company were decidedly hostile to this company ? The CHAIRMAN could not say that they were de cidedly hostile, but he had no cause to say that they were friendly. The same SHAREHOLDER said it appeared-to him that if the Forth and Clyde Canal Company were not hostile, they might still be able as a company, to compete with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Rail way Company. The CHAIRMAN said, if it was wished to ask him whether or not any arrangement could be entered into with the Forth and Clyde Canal Company, he would at once say, decidedly not. In answer to a series of questions, The CHAIRMAN stated that, as soon as the Act was obtained, the stock would be issued to the holders of the burdened as well as the unburdened shares ; the shareholders to receive a dividend according to the amount of their stock; that this stock did not go to pay the interest on debt; that the Edinburgh Railway stock was valued, not at its present market price, but at 100/.; that f or every t h ree canal shares, valued at 331. 6s. Bd., the canal shareholders were to receive a 100/. railway share. A SHAREHOLDER asked if there was any balance or surplus of revenue divisible among the share holders? The CHAIRMAN jocularly remarked that the less they asked about that the better.—(A. laugh.) After some further discussion, the motion of Sir J. Gladstone, approving of the arrangement, was ap proved of, Mr. MILLER stating that, as the judicial factor for the heirs of some of the shareholde rs , he could not agree t o it un til h e h a d consu l te d the bene ficiaries. The meeting then adjourned.—Witness. ROCHESTER MUNICIPAL REVISION COURT.—We yesterday witnessed at this court scenes which we bad believed could not possibly have taken place in England. To describe the disorder which prevailed throughout the proceedings is almost impossible ; people would never credit that spectators in a court of justice could possibly be permitted, at this time, to indulge in all the boister ous ebullitions of the bear garden ; cheers, clapping of hands, stamping of feet, and f rant i c s h outs o f laughter, hailed every unusually in%emperate expression of the Tory agent, whilst the Liberal agent and witnesses were subject to the , most indecorous interruptions. Hooting, hissing, yelling, and threats of personal violence, were aimed at Page, the Liberal objector, and at some mo ments the Guildhall more resembled the arena of a prize fight than a calm, orderly, English court of justice. The members of the court seemed utterly helpless, and unequal to the slightest effort to preserve order or decorum. They would doubtless have been laughed to scorn by their own party if they had attempted it. A more disgraceful course of proceedings than those of yesterday it has never been our lot to see ; and, for the sake of public morality, and public confidence in the jus tice seat, we hope it may never be witnessed again; yet, as the court are to sit day by day, we fear that there is too great a probability of its daily rep etition.—Maidstone Gazette. LIGHTING BY ELECTRICITY. Last evening Mr. Pepper delivered a lecture on the "Physical Properties of Light," at the Western Literary and Scientific Insti tution, Leicester square. After going through a great number of interesting experiments illustrative of the various modes of producing light by chemical combina• tion, he proceeded to introduce the apparatus recently invented and patented by Messrs. Stait and Petrie, for lighting by means of electricity. The lecturer stated that electricity, as was obviously proved in the case of lightning, was a natural element for :the production of light; the great difficulty consisted in producing the necessary supply of combustible matter upon which it should act to produce the luminous result. In the ma. chine invented by Messrs. Stait and Petrie a certain and constant supply of charcoal was presented to the action of electric fluid, and the consequence was a continuous and brilliant light. The machine, apparently a very simple one, was then set in operation, and although the flame was enclosed within a framework of paper, the effect was so dazzling as almost to be unbearable to the naked eye. The gas-lights with which the theatre was lighted were virtually extinguished, the only evidence of their existence being a red spot (the effect of the uncon sum, d carbon), the light produced by the electric lighting machine being of the purest white colour. The lecture was listened to with great attention by a crowded auditory, who appeared to bo greatly struck by the " new light" thrown upon their optical faculties. DEATH FROM TOBACCO.—An inquisition was holden at Coleford, on the body of John Evans. The surgeon stated he found slight traces of inflammation in the stomach, and a very strong odour of tobacco. It appears that the deceased smoked a great quantity— nearly half a pound per week, besides chewing pigtail. A verdict was returned of " Died by the visitation of God, accelerated by the excessive use of tobacco."—Dor setshire Herald. [PsicE SD. IRELAND. DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNlRG.—Yesterday after noon it was positively asserted that the Government had dispatched to Clonmel the warrant for the exe cution of Mr. Smith O ' Brien, in pursuance of the sentence pronounced on Monday. In half an hour afterwards it was announced, in just as positive terms, that the sentence of death, with all its horrible ac companiments, had been commuted to transportation for life, and that the order for a respite had been dis patched to Clonmel. It is probable that both state ments are mere speculation upon the probable deter mination of the Government in the case of Mr. Smith O'Brien. Meantime public opinion, not to speak of mere sympathy, is most decidedly against capital punishment in this case, and all classes appear to have made up their minds that the unfortunate gen tleman will escape the extreme penalty of the law. ttsii omo The n n Smith hf a Osteoh, conveyedße r r k Examiner jury eunryo z nawsa to aota e ul r tmr hdstatesalmost that oehtrahttaeir an o ,ni tathonedbr ffic eewcai i otf a tme l intima tion attended o n dfe t e i nd ma I recommenda tion by the Executive." THE WRIT OF ERROR. The Cork lixaminer;f Monday says— " The certificate was signed and sent to the clerk of the Attorney-General yesterday, and it is not expected that the Attorney-General will grant his fiat until the end of the week—perhaps Saturday. When a certifi cate bears the signature of experienced counsel, verifying the goodness of the plea relied on, the fiat is rarely, if ever, refused:" The Tipperary Free Press says— "lt is currently reported that the trials of Messrs. M‘Manus and Meagher will terminate the Commission for the present, as several witnesses for the Crown in attendance here had been subpoenaed as witnesses to attend the trial of Stato prisoners at the Dublin Com mission on the 20th instant, and that, consequently, the inquest at Clonmel will be adjourned to the 16th of December." The same authorities state that the Commission will cost 500/. a day, and suggests, as the proceedings are more national than local, that they should be charged upon the Consolidated Fund. STATE OF TIPPERARY. A. Clonmel correspondent notices outrages com• mitted upon the houses of some of the jurors in this county. To Bansha, the scene of the recent horrible murders, an additional police force was sent down yesterday. The expense of their support is to be levied off the townland in which the murder was committed. The tax was to commence from Wed nesday. RESISTANCE TO POOR-RATE. The King's County Chronicle contains the fol lowing : " Mr. Armitage, collector of poor-rates, proceeded with a party of bailiffs, on Saturday last, to the house of one Costoloe, in the immediate vicinity of this town, and demanded the amount of his rent. Costoloe said he had paid part of it to Mr. Salmon, the former col lector, and that he would now pay the remainder; but this would not do, as he could not show any acknow ledgment for having paid the rate, so the cattle were driven; but they had not gone far, when Costoloe and two or three workmen pursued and overtook them before they reached the town, when a bloody conflict ensued in which a man named Tierney had his skull fractured, also Costoloe himself dangerously wounded, and John Hill, one of the driving party, had his arm nearly severed from his body by a blow from a reaping hook ; but, fortunately, no other serious injury oc curred, as the drivers decamped, leaving the cattle be hind them."

MEETING IN FAVOUR OF MR. O'BRIEN.—The Society of Friends have called a meeting for this day, to pro mote a public expression of feeling in accordance with the recommendation of the jury in the case of Mr. S. 0' Brien. PAR.-MEAG HEWS TRIAL.--Allt. P. unoNotiog Mr. Meagher will nut be brought up for some days, as I mentioned to you in my last note. The Crown is still hunting for evidence, not wishing again to produce Dobbin. The active pursuit they have been engaged in for the past week more than amply refutes the calum nies so industriously circulated against the peasantry, to the effect that they were tendering the informer's evi dence for the infurncer's wages in such crowds that the Crown knew not whom to select. Several most respec table persons have recently been summoned, amongst them a most respectable Protestant clergyman, to whom it was intimated that his evidence would be required, and that he probably has committed himself by some of the occurrences i❑ O'Brien's and Meagher's presence to which he was a party. This was a little too much, for it so happened that the clergyman in question never saw Smith O'Brien till he saw him in the duck. Meagher he knew well, but O'Brien he never spoke to. lie will not be one of the Crown witnesses. Mr. P. O'Donohoe will probably be arraigned to-mor row., tThe Solicitor-General begins his reply at the opening of the court, after which Mr. Justice Doherty charges the jury. The jury cannot retire to consider their ♦erdict before three o'clock. A rumour was prevalent through town yesterday evening that Mr. O'Mahony, for whose arrest a reward of 1001. has been offered, had been taken up on the North-wall by the :police, while endeavouring to escape to Liverpool by one of the boats leaving this port. — Freeman's Journal. SPECIAL COMMISSION. TRIAL OF M‘MANUS. CLONMEL, OCT. 11.—The Court sat this morning at halt-past nine o'clock, when the prisoner was placed at the bar. Mr. BUTT, Q.C., then proceeded to address the jury. After urging them to dismiss from their minds every thing of a prejudicial character, he said the prisoner was a stranger in that county; but, if the jury deserved the character he had heard of them, then would he beat consult the interest of his client by not flattering the dis tinguished Judges who presided over them, but to speak to them as became the advocate of a man's life. He would tell them again, that a preconceived opinion of guilt was not affording an accused man the benefit of the principle of British law. One other principle which he asked them to bear in mind was, that no man could be convicted upon moral probability or presumptive evi dence. The rule was, that if the facts proved be con sistent with any reasonable supposition of the prisoner's innocence, they could not find him Fguilty. He would not undertake to satisfy them that his client may not have linked himself with designs which loyal men would say were not free from all blame; but if the evidence produced did not establish clearly the tremendous cr ime charged in the indictment, and the precise charge speci fied, they should not find him guilty. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL here stated it was the in tention of the Crown to rely upon the first five counts only, and that he would withdraw the sixth altogether. Mr. Burr continued—lt was his (Mr. Butt's) wish, in defending his client, to take his stand upon the m os t ancient and unquestionable authorities of the law ; and he would therefore tell them, not in his own words, but in those of the greatest legal authorities, the meaning of this statute of Edward the Third. Sir Edward Coke, whose name was ho noured and rev ere d i n t h e B rit i sh law, stated that th is statute has not only accurately de fined the charge, but the nature of the proof upon which alone a man can be attainted. It was to be observed, that the word used was " proveably" attainted—that was, by direct and manifest proof', and not upon conjec tural presumptions, or inferences, or strainings of wit, but upon good and sufficient proof. Ile (Mr. Butt) quoted this passa ge f rom L or d C o k e, not to i nfluence the i jury n coming to a conclusion further than this, to call on them to try his client according to the law ; that law by which the Queen, who prosecuted in that case, held her throne, and by which alone the jury could be empanelled in that box to try the prisoner. By another statute it was necessary and indispen sable that every overt act of high treason must be proved by two witnesses; and therefore, if one man came on the table and proved a case of treason against the prison er — a l t h oug h h i s evidence might bring con viction to their minds of the guilt of the accused—yet the law compelled them to find the prisoner not guilty. The offences charged against his client were spread through five separate counts. The first of them con sisted of a general charge of levying war, and four dis tinct overt acts were set out in support of that charge. The marching of an armed multitude of above 500 per sons through the country on a particular day in July last; the vi s it t o th e po li ce b arrac k at Mullinahone; the erection of a barricade at Killenaule; and the attack upon the police at Farrinrory. The jury were . bound to take each act by itself, and say upon their oaths whether the prisoner had actually levied war, and their verdict pronounced on each act. They had two questions to try; first, how far the prisoner was con nected with the act charged as treason; and secondly, how far that act amounted to a levying of war. The levying of war was an attempt to subvert the law and the constitution. The levying of war must have been actually carried into effect. They should recollect that if a man formed &design of assassinating the Queen, and left his house for that purpose, but repented on the way, and did not carry his determination out, he was as guilty as if he had actually committed the deed. But the pre sent case was not of that nature, fur no intention, no conspiracy, no preparation of war would do, there should be an :total levying of war, positively carried nt of Dri action ever s that tn the ied to awed 1 1, - Biro• Gilpin , ! arm ar- re, the w ife Of aylandt d, M' IL 0.
