In the present eventful state of Ireland, the Committee of Inch Society of London would call the attention of the P I ON •te the beneilclai results of the Society's labours In that country, and would earnestly appeal for increased support, to carry out the objects which it has in view ; and while they by ko means undervalue the efforts which are being made, whether by legislation or by private enterprise, to improve the temporal candition of Ireland, the Committee feel convinced, from much ex perience, that all the remedies proposed must prove unavailing, an leas. at the same time,- measures are taken to elevate the moral a baracter of the Irish peasantry by means of religions instruction. The Irish Society labours in the native districts, where upwards of . 600 .000 of the population speak the Irish language. There are now *OO teachers connected with it, who instruct the satire Irish in reading the Word of God. Since the commencement 0 0 Individuals, chiefly adults, have thus been taught to read Us k S c ri ptures, many o f w h om em e race d t h e P ro t es t ant f a i t h . O ne hundred and e i g ht S cr i p t ure rea d ers aro emp l oye d , w h o read the I r i sh Bibles in the cabins, or to groups of .the peasantry al work In their Reds, or by the roa t side. w Seve nlrish-soeaking clergymen are in connexion with the So c i e ty Who ad the Litur g y, a nd p reac h th e G os p e l i n th e : nat i ve l anguage. %-Jenre Congregations of converts have been raised up, or are now M a stered to through the instrum en t a lity o f t h e S oc i ety. Two of aso are in the county of Galway, two in the county of Cork, and six la jg eery. 4, eob d sany Roman Catholics, not indicted in those distinct congrega .. have been brought, through the blessi of Almighty God *Pon the Society's labours, to renounce the errors of Rome, and are aver i ncorporated with old Protestant congregations. Some groups of converts who have been instructed by the Society areln asking for Irish clergymen to be located amongst them. various places crowds of Roman Catholics attend Protestant anarches and school-houses, where an Irish-speaking clergyman has been announced to preach. One clergyman states :- 71 " . 1n the Cathedral of L---• I areached on Wednesday evening. church was filled, the Roman Catholics standing up to the ea dlag-desk, and outside the doors. At D-- , on Sunday night, there, h a d w e a place large enough, we might have had many hun dreds of n oman t e ts ; as it was, we had a goodly number, and those who were obliged to stand outside the window occasionally requested that I would speak up, so as they might hear." Another writes : "I had a most interesting tour throiteh the C— Irish districts. I preached 20 sermons, in Irish, to over 2,000 in all. I may count that 1,000 were converts, 500 Rom mists, and 500 old Protestants. One poor man, who was sot hearing me, heard so much about the sermon from others, that he said he would come to hear the next Sennett, if the priest would roast him in the fire for it.' Many a Poor creature from the heart said, 'O, when will yon come again Sir Alas ! that we hav'nt an Irish ministry.'" Such are some of the results of the Society's proceedings ; but the committee would allude to one more, of considerable importance at the present time, and that is, that wherever tke native Irish have been instructed by the Society, they have become loyal subjects of o;ir Queen, and abstain from all connexion with the treasonable practices and illegal associations which are so hostile to the peace and prosperity of the kingdom. The C ommittee n ' th, have made diligent inquiries upon this subj ect, and f ati _enea to their inquiries have been highly satisfactory.

It will be in the recollection of our readers that at a recent meeting of the Royal Mersey Yacht Club, a re6o lution was entered into to present their Commodore, Thomas Littledale, Esq., with a testimonial of their re sp-ct for, and admiration of, his manly and human e e,,n duct on board kis yacht, the Q I , lln i. f the Cle,an, on the occasion of the loss of the 0, eau Monarch. 'Phis reso lution has been carried into etfec - ; and on Afon;la:.- the gallant Commodore was entertained at a sumptuous banquet by his brother yachters of the Royal Mersey Club, at their rOOlll3, WiIIVII were elegarrly aryl !Leyte fully fitted up for the occa-inn, with fl ga and b...nners, models of yachts, ships, and other appropriate nautical emblems. In pursuance of the. abOve noticed resoluq. n, a more substantial mark of the esteem of the chit) to Mr. Little dale, for his heroic conduct, titan 5. there invitation to dinner was resolved upon; and for that purl) ;se au ele gant massive gold snuff. box was subscribed for, and which was presented to him ua. Monday. This box, which is Sti inches long by Si broad, and which is valued for 100 guineas, is certainly one of the chastest and most perfect specimens of workmanship which we have beheld. On the top is a fine representation of tke dreadful calamity which is sought to be commemorated by the testimonial, taken from the drawing of that dire event which was recently published by Mr. H. Melling, the hon. secretary of the club, and which has been so much admired. In a small semicircular niche above the design is placed the crest of the club, and the whole is surrounded by a deep, massive, and well-worked margin, in alto relief, of scroll and foliated trellis work. The sides are sectionally of the ogee shape, chased and highly ornamented. On the front side of the box is the arms of Mr. Littledale; the back being free from any design. Omthe bottom, which is protested by a massive border, on which it, is intended to slide round a table. when so used, there i s a r i c h engraving of a " sailing prow," or ancient vessel, approaching land, with a Ds at villa and wooded country in the back ground. On the interior of the lid is the following appropriate in scription f•• Prese n t e d b y the members of the Royal Mersey Yacht Cl u b to their Commodore, Thomas Littledale, Esq., as a memor i al of their admiration of the humanity he displayed on b oard his yacht, the Queen of the Ocean, in saving, under circumstances of great difficulty, the lives of thirty-two of the crew and passengers belonging to the emigrant ship Ocean Monarch, of Boston, which was destroyed by fire in the bay of Abergele, on Thurs day, the 24th of A ugust, ' 1848. ' The arrangements for the comfort and satisfaction of the guests, who were about'seventy in number, were of the most excellent kind. The cuisine and wines were supplied by that prince of caterers, Mr. Lynn of the Waterloo, end, on this (occasion, it is but justice to say that he fully sustained his already well-earned name. The chair was occupied by the Earl of Sefton, on whose right sat the Com mo d ore Th omas Littledale, Esq ; E. Cardwell, Esq., M.P. ; Admiral Grenfell ; Captain ' Froes ; Captain Lisboa ; and Bramley Moore, Esq. ; on his left, W. Brown. Esq., M.P. ; Sir Thomas Birch, M.P. ; and Captain Ward. The vice-chairs were ably filled by Mr. Fletcher, the eup-bearer of the club, and Mr. Melling, the Hon. Sec. We also observed amongst the company Messrs. Harold, Littledale, A. Molyneux, Edward Watson Lloyd, Commodore of the Royal Dee Yacht Club; Parker, Moss, Bennett, Lieutenant Lord, W. Perry, E. Littledale, J. Holmes, J. Woodhouse, W. D. Bold, S. P. Hope, T. Birchill, H. Brideson, of Man chester, G. Foliett, of Chester, F. Peel, R. M'Lean, and S. Bright. The good things of the table having been done ample justice to and the cloth removed, The CHArnasasr rose, and, in a neat and elegant speech gave " The health of her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen, Duchess of Lancaster, our Royal Patroness." Drank with all the loyal honours. Air—" The National Anthem." The next toast was "The Queen Dowager ;" which was followed by " Prince Albert and the Royal Family;" both of which were received with the utmost enthusiasm.

THE SUICIDE OF VISCOUNT MIDLETON.— GODAL antic, TUESDAY.—After our report of the inquest on the body of this nobleman was sent off on Monday n i g h t, the coroner continued to address the jury upon the nature of the evidence adduced by the sever a l w i tnesses. The ju r y we re then left consulting together - for a few moments, when the foreman announced the following a s the unanimous verdict of himself and brother jurors:- - We find that the Right Honourable G eorge Allen, Viscount Midleton, in a certain room in Peper Har row Mansion, Peper Harrow Park, in the parish of Peper Harrow, within the county of Surrey, did on Wednesday, the Ist of November , 1848, dest roy hi s own life, he being at the same time in.a state of- temporary insanity."

It was a pl uc k y affair for abo u t h a lf wa y, Collings taking the lead until off Vauxhall, when Booth, from superior la s ti ng qualities, went by him, gradually i ncreased his advantage, and finally won by nearly a quarter of a mile. REMEDY FOR RAILWAY DEPRECIATION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—About ten days ago I had prepared a table showing the highest and lowest prices of railway , hares, from the boiling point of 1845 to the zero of 1848, and the depreciation in each case cons quently rollowing. The table I proposed submitting for your .approval, hut the sudden aliention which took pace it the time induced me to withdraw it. If, however, any of your readers, or any o:her persons, suppe,e that the danger is past and gone, and th it :ill they have now in prospect is a gradual but certain improve ment of th e i r ra il way property, I would beg to warn inch per sons t h at the very ro anl essence o f th e deal of its ruinous has been er. done not by that class of men who have been justly held up to public odium by yourself and the journalists ; I in en he " Bea rs" of the Stock Etch inge. 'lbis is a sys tem so iniquitous that the man who can put it down ill deserve well of his country; but, after looking at the matter in all its " bearings," I confess I do not see any available remedy. If the public should cease to support the present Stock Exchange, the " Bears" and " Bulls" would have one of their own, where they would not only worry and gore each other alternately, as at present, but inflict at least indirect injury upon the public outside. I apprehend, Sir, that it is the existing state of things which furnishes means to these ferocious " gentlemen " for their cruel practices. If the rail way property of the country were in a sound condi tion, the up and-down game of the " Bulls" and "Bears" would be at an end. There might be, and there would be, fluctuations from certain legitimate causes, but themild panic -work would cease. And now, Sir, let me in a few words state what I conceive to be the great desideratum. It is a simple, but I believe a sure, remedy for the evil. I mean, Sir, the official abandonment of all the schemes of 1846 and 1847 which have either not yet com menced operations, or have not proceeded to any great extent. Shareholders in these lines may rely upon it that should they have ever paid up twenty per cent. upon their shares, the first loss will be the least. Every additional call paid upon such stock is so much good money thrown Away. If these parties have any spare cash left, let them turn it to some other account, rather than pur sue delusive schemes, which will never pay working charges. The pressure of these new and ruinous under takings upon the holders of shares in old companies is perhaps not generally understood. I will suppose that the holder of twenty &hates in the London and North Western, Great Western, or any other leading line, has had the misfortune to take up 200 shares in some wretched scheme at the fag-end of the land. He has paid one or two calls upon the 200 shares ; they are perfectly worthless ; the works are sus pended ; and it is all but certain that the line never can be made, or, if it were made, would not yield him a half per cent. But, to his astonishment, the directors of the said scheme are pleased to mak a call of Si. per share on the 200 shares held by the sup posed party. He does not respond to it; he is threatened with " proceedings ;" and, at length, the harpies of the law are let loose upon him. He has no alternative but to sell, at any price, his shares in the old and good line, to pay his call on the new and bad line—and hence depreciation necessarily follows. But, Sir, this is not all. It may so happen that the old line itself is entangled with the new concern. It has, perhaps, leased it at threefold its value ; or, it may have subscribed a large portion of its required capital; and thus the young monster, in place of "feeding" the parent trunk, is a mere blood sucker. Sir, unless I am greatly mistaken, the pith of the evil is here. If shareholders expect any permanent improvement, they must compel their directors to knock these monsters on the head ; the blow must not only be vigorous, but instantaneous. No as surances of an "intention" to " wind up" must he ac cepted; the thing must be done. If the best and soundest schemes in the country are at discounts of from 20 to 50 per cent., what fate awaits the genera tion of lines now struggling for existence? Share holders, you must either kill them, or they will kir you.—l am, Sir, yours, &c., Nov. 7, 1848. ANTI-DISCOUNT. NORTHERN COUNTIES UNION RAILWAY. TO THE EDITOI? OF THE SUN. SlR,—Knowing your anxiety to see the existing railway liabilities reduced, I trust on that account you will insert the following letter in your next pub lication. I am desirous to call the attention of the share holders of the Northern Counties Union Railway to the absolute necessity of having the concern brought to within as small a compass as possible. It appears the directors, in conjunction with those of the Stock ton and Darlington Railway,' have caused a survey to be made for a line between Darlington and Bar nard Castle, and from thence on to the Tehay line. It seems to me perfect madness entertaining for oae moment the idea of such a project ; in the first place, where is the money to come from to make the line; in the next, where is there traffic to pay 1 per cent on the outlay ; it is monstrous that the funds of the shareholders should be thus wasted. I wonder what authority the direc tors have for taking such a step. According to a re solution passed at last meeting, it was resolved that no fresh contracts or agreements should be entered into without the sanction of the proprietors. From last report the funds amounted to 76,7771.—that 20,0001. would cover the liabilities, and that the powers of the Act would expire in 1853. Now, Sir, I would strongly recommend every shareholder, great or small, to take steps (in order, at once, to limit the powers of the directors) similar to those of the Liver pool, Manchester, and Newcastle Junction, and return, say three-fourths of the money in hand, or about 15s. to 20s. per share—to limit the number of the directors to six, or appoint new ones in their room— to.remove the office (say) to Darlington, and reduce the secretary's salary from 5001. to 1501. a year; for it is quite clear his duties cannot occupy him more than two or three hours a day. In my opinion it would be useless applying for a dissolution Act, and a mere waste of money—there fore, let the expenses be reduced to the utmost pos sible limit—allow the Act to expire, and then close the accounts finally. I would strongly recommend the above suggestions to the careful consideration of the shareholders, and those whose views coincide with them. Address, stating number of shares, amount paid, &c., to A. M. Z., post.office, Middlesborough, Yorkshire. I enclose my card and address for your private satisfaction. A. M. Z. Nov. 2, 1848. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Only three years ago any proposed line of railway whose imaginary profits were supposed to be ten per cent., was offered and eagerly s wa ll owe d up by the short-sighted public and capitalists, g ree d y to obtain an investment for their money that would realise so large a return of interest. the time has arrived when more than that greatly desired return can actually be acquired, and yet it is most extraordi nary, it is now completely overlooked, either from mistrust or ignorance. In your paper you have already offered some valuable suggestions as to the large amount of interest that will accrue from the purchase in most of the great working trunk lines, at the present low prices. Without being at all in terested in any railway, I have taken the trouble to look into the return of some of those in the course of completion, and I now send you the first result of my investigation, which,9f you think proper to publish, may be of service to your readers, by showing them the golden opportunity they are losing. The fiction which previously they were so anxious to gain has now become a reality. GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. In the half -yearly report, the directors state, that the line will not be completed until early in the spring of 1850, so that previous to the opening, three half-years' interest, at the rate of five per cent, will continue to accrue on all Calls paid up, due 31st De- Cember, 1848; 30th June, and 31st December, 1849 ; and payable one month thereafter respectively; after which, of courso, such dividend as the line will be able to pay, Under the new optional arrangement of dividing the shares, whereby the 251. shares are divisible into A's, or deferred, having 121. 10s. all paid up, and bearing interest at four per cent., and B's 41. 10s. paid, with 81. more still to pay, guaranteed a prefer ence interest and dividend of six per cent., it follows that the A's 12/. 10s., paid at a discount of 10/. 1 or 21. 10s. per share, will yield to the purchaser 20 per cent. certain on the purchase money, from the three half-yearly interest instalments due 31,4 December, 1848; 30th June and 31st December, 1849; that is, 30 per cent. of, the purchase money . will accrue in the shape of interest in 13 months, from an d a f ter 31st. December. (This date is taken because shares pur chased previously will not be settled Itx• until early i n December.) Moreover, if the line wliscri opened only yields tulividend of_four per cent., the:purchaser will continue to 'receive ten per cent. on the purchase money, but if the line yields TRIAL BY JURY. Yesterday the 54th anniversary of the triumph of trial by jury, as exemplified in the *acquittal of Thomas Hardy, John Horne Tooke, John . I.'helwall, J. Joyce, T. Holeroft, and the other , members of the Corresponding Society, who, in 1794, were tried for high treason, was celebrated at Radley's Hotel, Black friars. Nearly 100 gentlemen sat down to dinner, Mr. Parry, the barrister, presiding, supported by Mr. C. Lushington, M.P., Mr. J. Williams, M.P., and other gentlemen who - have taken a prominent part in the progress of reform being present.. The cloth having been removed, the Chairman gave " The Sovereignty of the People , " which h e b e li eve d to be the best s ecur it y f ur the throne and the people. The toast was drunk with enthusiastic applause. The next toast was " The Queen," and the Chairman in proposing it said that the sentiment of the majority of the radical reformers of the country was to unite the most extensive political reforms with the maintenance of monarchy.—(Hear.) As far as it was possible for the sovereign to perform the duties of her station to the benefit of all classes, and within the pale of the constitution, her present Majesty had done so. The toast was given with three times three and up standing. Mr. C. LUSHINGTON, M.P., having returned thanks for the drinking of his health, proceeded to give the toast of the evening, " Trial by Jury." He ex pressed his gratification at seeing so large a company assembled to do honour to the acquittal of those pa triots who had jeopardised their lives in the cause of truth and liberty, and in opposing the machinations of a tyrannical Ministry, a corrupt Parliament, and a despotic Sovereign—for George 111., though not a despot by law, was by his opinions and acts as much a despot as he dared to be; and had he been permitted to govern the nation as he wished, he would have re duced the people of this country to the condition of Russian serfs. Witness his arbitrary treatment of America, his causeless wars with France, his op pression of Ireland —especially of the Catholic population of that country—and his fierce exercise of the prerogative. A man who in those days hissed at the King on his road to the House of Lords was punished by the pillory and five years' imprisonment. Looking at past events our feelings could be only those of exultation and con. gratulation that the men who ventured their lives escaped unscathed—thanks to the jury who pro pounced them not guilty of crime—their only offence being that they were the advocates of an extension of the suffrage and the shortening of the duration of Parliaments. But for that verdict we might at this time be suffering from triumphant tyranny. It was remarkable that notwithstanding the defeat of the Ministry in the acquittal of these men, they ventured to renew their attack on the freedom of the people, and that Parliament conspired to sanction them. In 1796 Lord Granville brought in his Bill for the better security of the King's person, which provided that no public assembly should come together to consider any public measure except in the presence of a magistrate, which magistrate was empowered to dis miss such assembly, and to pronounce arbitrarily as to what he might consider to he sedition, or what in the d — i t i ( o fl u s e ar, meetings and a laugh,) was IL a)fter An seditious language , of the prese n t d ay was " open and advised r o , t i h s er pa ß ss i e l d l to a p sP re ea v k en in t g se clause being inserted by the then scoundrelly House of Commons, providing that if at a meeting of fifty persons twelve remained after the magistrate desired them to retire, they were to suffer death without the benefit of clergy. In rejoicing that the times bad passed when such scenes were enacted, let them do justice to the honoured names of those who, when the task was more dangerous than now, had stood forward as the champions of popular rights, and had opposed themselves to the power of a corrupt Court and a tyrannical Monarch by pronouncing a verdict of " Not guilty." It was with great pleasure that he proposed the toast, "Trial by Jury, the great bulwark of British liberty?' The toast was drunk with much cheering. The CHAIRMAN tben gave, " The memory of T. Hardy, J. Horne Tooke, J. Thelwall, J. A. Bonny, Stewart Kyd, R. Hodgson T. Holcroft, J. J oyce , I'. Wardle, M. Moore, J. Baxter, and J. Ritchter," which, contrary to custom, was also drunk with loud cheers. " The memory of the Scottish Martyrs— Thomas Muir, J. Gerrald, M. M argarot, Fyshe Pal mer, and W. kirving ;" " The memory of the London Corresponding Society ;" "The memory of the Three Juries who acquitted Tooke and the rest of the ac cused. and Erskine and Gibbs, their able and gra tuitous counsel ;" " A radical reform of all classes and a true representation of the British people in the Commons' House of Parliament;" " Success to the nations of Europe in their endeavours to obtain con stitutional liberty —may the power of enlightened public opinion attain and secure for the people the possession of equal political and civil rights;" and " The Radical party in the House of Commons, and the healths of Messrs. Lushington and Williams," were subsequently given and acicnowledged, and after the customary compliment to the chairman the meet ing separated. METROPOLITAN SEWAGE MANURE COMPANY.— The ordinary half-year'y meeting of this company took place yesterday at the offices of the company, in the Waterloo-plic,-. The report stated that the works were so far complete as to be in fictive and effective operation, and that the whole district of Fulham Fields was inter sected with the company's mains and service pipes, and that the financial situation of the company was sound and encouraging. In the course of the proceedings the chairman stated that the difference 3 between the Com missioners of Sewers and the directors of the company had been finally Battled. rs 3S ig er
