IRELAND. D1.1111 , 1N, WEDNESDAY Al num/ca.—With the ex ception of the arrests reffxred to in the following communication which .appears in the Freeman's Journal, there is no news of importance from the cits tnr bed districts : "CLONMEL, TUESDAY EVENING.—There was some little excitement cri.lated here this morning by the march of a considerable force of military and police in the direction of: Carrick on- Suir. Some nervous people would have it that another real rebellion ' had arisen ; bu c a few hours dispelled all fears on the sub ject. It turned out that the array of military and police WIS not called for to encounter the insurgents, but merely to escort to the gaol of Clonmel some pri soners who had been arrested in Carrick and the neaghh ourhood. It seems that at the fair of Carrick yesterday several persons were arrested on a charge of 'having appeared in arms on the occasion of the burning of the police barrack at the slate quarries. !Some others charged with the same offence were cap tured in the neighbourhood. The whole of the pri soners were kept in Carrick last night, guarded by a strong force of military and police ; and an express was sent here for an additional force to bring them into this town. Hence the departure of the troops and police this morning. The force consisted of a con siderable party of the 64th Regiment, a troop of the 4th Dragoons, and about fifty of the constabulary. About half way between this and Carrick they re ceived the prisoners from the force which escorted them from the town, and arrived here with them at half-past one o'clock. The prisoners were at once committed to the county gaol on the above-mentioned charge, under a warrant signed by Messrs. W. H. Briscoe and R. D. Coulson, magistrates. Several of the prisoners were exceedingly athletic young men. There were nine of them. Their names are Edward Ladigan, Vim. Rochford, John Hayes, Richard Da niel, Timothy Connell, Wm. Crotty, Michael Comer ford, James Sheehy, James Ladigan. " It has been announced here to-day that a Mr. O'Ryan, and a lady of the same name, arrived in Carrick last night, on a charge of having harboured Mr. O'Mahony, said to have been a leader of the people in the late movements. Dr. O'Ryan,' of Carrick, is at present in Clonmel gaol on a similar charge. _ _ _ " there is still scarcely anything in the appearance of the town to indicate that it is soon to be the scene of such an important and generally exciting an event as a special commission for the trial of persons ac eused of high treason. The streets are patrolled to day by a body of police, but there is little beyond this that strikes us as unusual in the appearance of tile town. "We have heard that twenty-five persons, armed with weapons of different sorts, were arrested last night between Carrick and Kilmacthomas. The object they had in view does not appear ; but some will have it that they, with others, had formed the daring and audacious design of capturing the judges, and running eff with their Lordships into the mountain fastnesses. Those prisoners have not been yet brought in here, but their arrest, with arms in their hands, is positively asserted. "It is stated that the nine prisoners who were committed to the gaol of this town to-day are the parties against whom the Attorney-General said, on Saturday, he might have to send up bills of in dictment. " Sir Lucius O'Brien, M.P., has arrived in town, where he will remain, it is expected, until after the trial." The Clonmel Chronicle of yesterday contains the following:— "Bigoe Armstrong Stoney, Esq., of Killavalla house, a juror summoned to serve on the Special Com mission, left Clonmel on Friday morning last, on foot, with a view of taking a ramble up the mountains ; he had with him a telescope and a brace of pistols. Ater rambling for some time, he reached Carrick-on-Suir, and was walking about that town looking about him ; after a few minutes, a constable named Tynan tapped him on the shoulder and arrested him in the Queen's name. He asked his name, occupation, and place of residence, and was truly answered by Mr. Stoney; who also told him, in reply to inquiry, that he had a telescope and brace of pistols with him, two vvy essential things in these times. The constable said that he should detain him, and forthwith marched him off to the station-house. Mr. Stoney requested to be brought before a magistrate, and after a little delay, he was brought before Mr. Coulson R.M., by wilaom he was closely examined ; some military offi cers were also present, and assisted at the examination. Mr. Stoney had on an undress cap of the Prussian infantry, and also bears a striking resemblance to Mr. Dillon, the rebel fugitive. The Hue and Cry was now produced, and even tended to convince the ma gistrate that he really had hold of Dillon, but Mr. Stoney urged the reality of his not being a rebel Dillon ' but a Stoney staunch loyalist, in proof of which he produced his card with his name engraved thereon, and his pocket-book with some private entries of his journey from his own residence in the North Riding, which so coincided with his own plain and honest tare that Mr. Coulson discharged him, giving him at the same time the following letter of protection:— " A gentleman, who gives his name as Bigoe Armstrong Stoney, of Borrisokane, and who had cards with his name engraved upon them, was brought before me this day, charged with being a suspicious character. After a close investigation and inquiry, I saw no cause for detaining him, and therefore dis charged him.—R. D. CouLsoN, R.M. '" Carrick- on- Suir, 1848.' " CARRICK-ON-SUM, SEPT. 26.—Since Friday a good many of the Irish army' have been taken in this localit y—among the rest, a Mr. James O'Ryan, brother to Dr. O'Ryan, who is in your county prison. This Mr. O'Ryan is sworn against as having har boured some of the lead?rs while arranging their plan of operations at Clonea, county Waterford, where Mr. O'Ryan lives, or rather did live, as he is now in Waterford gaol. He was, up to the time of his arrest, collector of poor-rates. A deputy of his, named Sheedy, was also arrested for being in arms on New ton-hill ; also a Mrs. O'Ryan, aunt to O'Mahony, for having ammunition in her possession, by permission of General O'Mahony. While I write lam told that a Mr. Killilea was arresterthere at twelve o'clock last night with a case of pistols in his possession. A man names James Power, high in authority in the' Mitchel Club,' has been sworn against for having said To h-- with the Queen ;' bail has been refused, so you will have him in Clonmel this morning. Some of the bakers who supplied the insurgents have been taken up and brought before Mr. Coulson, R.M. He asked one of them why they baked bread for the rebels ? They said they would shoot them if they refused, and after a good lecture they were discharged. Nothing else particular in this neighbourhood worth mentioning.

ARRESTS IN THE COUNTY KILKENNY. The following appears in the Kilkenny Journal of yesterday ARREST OF EUGENE M'CARTHY.—This gentle man, who is a classical teacher, and a man of some ability, was arrested at Castlecomer on Friday night last, by Head-constable Killkilly. It appears he tried to came a soldier of the 83d Regiment there stationed to fratcroi,e with him. The soldier went to the police-station and caused M'Carthy to be arrested. This unfortunate man is thus described in the Hue and Cry :--111PCarthy, 40 years of age, five feet seven inches high, slender make, dark complexion, duk_hair, pale and delicate looking, of a sickly ap• pearance, and appears a little lame when walking; wore a felt hat, blue body coat, and brown top coat, black cloth trousers, and sometimes cord black cloth vest; is a native of the county Cork. This man is a clasikal teacher, was tutor at Mr. Martin Fitzge rald's of Jessfield, in the parish of Ballingarry, and is supposed to have gone back to his native place in the county Cork.' "On Saturday John Cormack, aiarmer, residing at Newpallas, was arrested by the constabulary, for co operating with Patrick Cunningham in the attempt to imbue the railroad police with revolutionary feel ing. The latter (Cunningham), late of Carrick, who was apprehended near this city a few nights ago, was on Friday, under a warrant from his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant, fully committed to our county gaol by P.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 28, ma LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 27. (Before Mr. Commissioner lioLnoYD.) IN RE W. WEST. This was a second dividend meeting. The bankrupt was a linendraper, and was supported by Mr. Duncan i❑ his claim of per centago out of the estate. Mr. Cooke attended on behalf of Messrs. Roberts, Davies, and Co., bankers, of Shoreditch, to prove for up wards of 400/. . It appeared that in February, 1848, there was a divi dend meeting called, and Messrs. Davies were in attend ance to prove. They held a lease as security for a sum of 3001., which they gave up, but as they held further security, it was requested that they should sell the pro perty so held, and prove for the balance, and that they would not be at all damnified, as there was a bill of 1,1001. coming due, out of which Messrs. Davies would receive a dividend. Mr. COOKE said that a very extraordinary course had been pursued in this case ; the bill had been discounted by the acceptor, and as there were now no funds in court, the question was as to whether the official as signee or the solicitor to the fiat should make good the money ? Several witnesses having been called, and subjected to a brief examination, which, however, possessed no fea ture of public interest, and Mr. Cooke and Mr. Archibald heard pro and con., His HONOUR deferred giving judgment for a short period. The other cases set down for hearing were not worth mentioning. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sept. 27. (Before the CHIEF COMMISSIONER.) IN RE RAMSDEN THE YOUNGER. This insolvent, who had been in partnership with a person named Dennett, as colour-makers, was opposed by a creditor named Meredith, and supported by Mr. Nichols. Mr. Meredith, who was a creditor for 51., hoped the Court would not allow its proceedings to nullify the Whitechapel County Court. He 'showed that be had obtained a commitment summons, and the insolvent then applied to this Cuurt to be discharged. Mr. NICHOLS remarked that the insolvent was a prisoner, having been arrested by a hostile creditor. There was a material difference in cases under the old jurisdiction, and when they were presented under the Protection Acts. His Hoktoun said he had great objections to thwart the proceedings of a County Court, but as no instalment was actually due when the petition was filed, the insol vent might be discharged. Discharged accordingly. lice until that time. He was taken into custody with the others, and had a loaded pistol in his pocket at the time. He had a pike-head a short time before, but he gave it to Conway to take care of, and it was found upon him when he was taken. lie bought the pike-head and carried it about with him, in order that he might not he suspected 'by kis companions. Witness was not exa mined before a magistrate or before the grand jury, and the prisoners had no means of knowing what evidence he was to give. Henry Jones, a police-constable, deposed that about holf-past four o'clock in,the morning of the 17th August he made a search in Clerkenwell Churchyard, and found a basket containing 280 perfect ball cartridges, and about fifty in an unfinished state. Cross-examined—He did not expect to find this basket when he commenced the search. It was quite by acci dent. Evidence was then adduced to show, that about eight o'clock in the evening of the 16th of August, a number of persons were seen to leave the beer-shop in Should ham-street, some of them being armed, and some were heard to tell others to " come themselves and to bring as many of their friends with them as they could." Thomas Hoyle, a police-constable, deposed that on the night of the 16th of August, a great number of persons having the appearance of Irish labourers and engineers, who were strangers in the neighbourhood, assembled in the Seven-dials, and in consequence of their proceedings, he gave information at the police-station. Inspector Black deposed that about ten o'clock ho went with a body of police to the Seven-dials, and found about a hundred and fifty persons assembled. They were mostly strangers to the neighbourhood. Witness dispersed them, and remained upon the spot with his men until one o'clock the next morning. Mr. Warrington, an operative chemist, explained the nature of the recipes found at Rose's lodgings, and he described one of them as being calculated to ignite spon taneously after a short time, and according to the quan tity of water used in its composition, and another was a very powerful combustible, but which would require to be ignited before it would act. Mr. Randell then gave evidence as to the composition of the fire-balls; and this closed the case for the prose -* cution. Mr. BALLANTINE addressed the Court, and said he should have been prepared to go on with the defence upon the original facts, but after the additional evidence that had been adduced, he felt that he must ask the in • dulgence of the Court to allow time to consider the effect of that additional testimony. Mr. Baron PLATT acceded to the application, and at a L quarter to six o'clock the trial was again adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. James Jennings Smith, first engineer, and Alexan der Reid, second engineer of the Lion steam-vessel, trading between London and Friesland, John James, David Galles, James Payne, John Kelly, Robt. Bar clay, Edward Sorrill, and John M4.Donald, firemen and trimmers in the same vossel, were brought before the Lord Mayor, upon the charge of having pirati cally endeavoured, on the 16th of September, to make a revolt on board, upon the high seas, within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty, they being of tho crew of the vessel. _ _ Mr. Pelham appeared for the prosecutors ; Messrs. Robinson, the owners; and Mr. Smith appeared for all the prisoners. Mr. Smith, at the commencement of the proceed ings, stated that the first engineer had applied to institute proceedings against the captain of the vessel, but not having his evidence at hand, a delay had necessarily taken place, and in the interim he had been taken into custody upon the extraordinary charge upon which so many of the persons employed were brought forward. Mr. Pelham said the motive of the first engineer was evident enough, as he well knew the nature of the accusation which he must himself answer upon the representation of the captain. Mr. Smith then objected to the jurisdiction of the Lord Mayor in a case in which an offence alleged to have been committed on the high seas was to be adjudicated upon. The LORD MAYOR overruled the objection, upon the ground that the Central Criminal Court Bill established his jurisdiction in matters of criminal investigation. Mr. Pelham stated that he appeared upon the part of Messrs. Robinson, under the 9th section of the 11th and 12th of Vim. 111., to prosecute the prisoners for the commission of an offence of a most serious nature, especially in the consequences it was calcu lated to inflict upon merchants and traders. He then gave an outline of the case, which the following evidence fully discloses : Captain H. W. Neville said—l am the master of the Lion steam-ship, trading between London and Friesland, in Holland. I quitted London for a voyage to Friesland on the 13th of September, taking with me, as part of the crew, the whole of the prisoners at the bar. They each of them possessed a registered ticket, and I received them in due course, and placed their names on the muster-roll. We arrived at Har lingen on Thursday morning, the day after we left the Port, and took on board a general cargo of butter, cheese, flax, corn, and oil, and also live stock, consisting of 700 or $OO oxen , calves, and sheep, and we were to be ready on the 16th, at half-past nine o'clock, to return. The fires were lit some time previous. About eight o'clock I observed a quantity of poultry brought on board, in baskets, by the firemen, and upon inquiring whose they were, was answered that they belonged to Smith, the first engineer. I after wards saw more brought on board, and was told they belonged to the same person, and told them to keep them on shore, as I could not allow them to be on board. A few minutes afterwards I observed Smith come from the shore over the paddle-box. He held up his fist to me, and said, " You won't let my fowls come on board, won't you ?" I told him I would not allow it, there were too many. He then said, " You thing, I'll pay the freight for them." I then said, they shall not come on board at all. He said, clapping his hands, " Now I've got you, you —, I'll learn you a trick. I'll learn you, ani you, Mr. Robinson, a trick. I'll stop the ship. This is what I intended. I've been scheming this for you." He then called to the firemen below, "Rake the fires out, you rake the fires out." I then said to him, " Come here, don't make a fool of yourself, and do that which you'll be sorry for hereafter." He refused to hear me, and he ran off the paddle bridge, ordering the firemen again to rake the fires out, and to bring the poultry ashore along with them. After giving directions to the chief mate I went ashore, and sent for the agent of the ship, that he might expostulate with Smith and the firemen. When I told him what took place, he sent for Mr. Harmer, a merchant in the place, who took Smith along the pier to talk with him, and came on board, after having walked nearly an hour with him. I then sent for the Consul, the prisoners having all gone ashore except M'Donald ; and I sent the mate to tell them all, in the presence of the Consul, to come aft to the cabin, and when they came, I asked them, one by one, if they intended to resume their duty. Smith told the rest not to say anything, as the -- would only catch them. I then asked the firemen and trim mers and the second engineers if they would not do their duty, and obey my orders in getting steam ? All, except M‘Donald, and a man named Rayner, who is not here, s dd, "No, they would not, unless Smith did." Smith was present at the time. I then went with the Consul, and delivered to him the regis tered tickets of all the men, and they all went ashore except M'Donald, who went ashore an hour afterwards. Fvvo of them came back several times toendeavour to get Rayner to go; but he said he would do his duty. After some time the Consul and Mr. Harmer came on board, and said that Smith and the rest would return to the vessel. (Here the witness detailed the parti culars of another interview, at which, upon being again urged to return, Smith said, " No, take the ship to London yourselves ; revenge I mean to have.") Witness continued—They then came down close to the ship, and as I appeared on deck Smith called out, " Y o❑ Captain Neville, where is your Mr. Robinson now ? Why not take the ship away ?" And that sort of abuse was continued during the whole of the afternoon as I passed from the ship to the shore. I omitted to state at the commencement that Smith said, shaking his fist at me, "Now write to Rubinson what a rogue of a captain and an agent they have got, and that he would learn Mr. Robinson whether he (Robinson) was to treat him like a dog." On the Saturday following, while 1 was standing alongside of the ship, he came up shaking his fist in my face, and said, " You —, I'll fight you." I said, " No, that you won't, I know," upon which he called me a cur. After detailing the particulars of another ineffectual effort to induce Smith to return to his duty, the witness stated, that instead of leaving Har lingen on Saturday, the 16th, in the morning, he was detained until Tuesday, the 19th, at noon, in conse quence of the desertion, and was obliged to tranship the live stock at a great expense to the owners. In the ordinary course the ship would have arrived on Sunday afternoon in London, so as to have the live stock ready for Monday morning's market. Mr. Pelham here produced the Consul's certificate, stating the positive refusal of all the prisoners to re turn to their duty, notwithstanding the most energetic exertions to prevail upon them. Captain Neville—lt was necessary to have recourse to the soldiers and the police to protect the crew and the ship and the fireman who remained on board. The agent wrote to Mr. Robinson an account of the trans actions, and on my arrival the necessary proceedings were adopted. Mr. Smith, the solicitor to the prisoners, cross examined the witness at considerable length. He repeated some of the most prominent parts of his evidence in chief with increased emphasis. He had, he said, applied for the soldiers himself, as he consi dered such a precaution necessary for the protection of the ship and the crew, and he believed upon his oath that the ship and himself were in danger. There was no one on board competent to act as principal engineer except Smith, and all the rest of the pri soners had refu&ed to return to their duty unless Smith ..returned. The'y could hive restuheil their work until he had got engineers, but they would not. In answer to questions as to the character of Smith, Captain Neville said he had known the first en gineer about six months, and had never found any fault with him before, nor had he found any with any of the other men. Mr. Smith (solicitor for the prisoners) submitted that it did not appear that Nl'Donald had joined the rest in leaving the ship, and that as the evidence did not implicate the prisoner, it would be but fair to discharge him at once. The LORD MAYOR said that M'Donald had refused to return to his duty, and that, although he lingered on board an hour longer than the rest, he at last followed them. What had been stated might be adduced in alleviation, but it certainly must not have the effect of discharging him from his share of the responsibility. Mr. Smith (solicitor to the prisoners) requested to be allowed to ask, in fairness to the majority of his clients, whether they had not stated to the captain that they would return to the vessel, if he could ob tain a co mpetent engineer ? Captain Neville— Never ; they positively refused if Smith would not return. Mr. Pelham requested the Lord Mayor would post pone the next examination for a week, when it would be in his power to complete the evidence. Mr. Smith (solicitor to the prisoners) applied for leave for such of his clients as might be able to pro• cure bail to give in securities for their appearance. The LORD MAYOR said he could not in a case of so important a nature consent to take bail ; and all the prisoners were accordingly remanded. Several of them, and Smith amongst the number, denied the truth of some o f th e mos t i mma t er i a l n donal strength from his cross examination.y of Captain Neville, whose statements the receivedtestimaoditi NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY. Much alarm was created here last night by a report that Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, the Commander-in-Chief, had been struck with apoplexy. 'We are most happy in being authorised to state no such calamity has befallen the .gallant chief. The circumstances which led to the Circulation of the above report are simply these : Sir Charles patronized a grand evening concert, given by the Messrs., Atkins, of Portsea, at their - rooms (the Queen's), to which the fame of Madame Dulcken and John Parry drew a numerous and brilliant audience. The rooms were crammed, and conse quently, notwithstanding the excellent ventilation, the crowd rendered the atmosphere9fthe room some- what like an oven, and the Admiral fainted ; he was carried out, but speedily recovered on the application of the usual restoratives, and this morning was able to transact his official duties as usual. On Saturday next he hauls down his flag, when the command will devolve on the following day upon Admiral Sir Thomas Capel, K.C.8., who was here yesterday making the necessary arrangements. The Driver steam-sloop, Commander R. C. John son, returned from Ireland last evening at sunset. She left Waterford on Sunday, and has brought ma rines and marine artillery, who are returning to their respective quarters. She is about to complete her fitting for service on a foreign station. The Driver left the Rhadamanthus, Sprightly, and Dwarf at Waterford. The latter was going to lie at Fidow. The Cyclops steam-frigate, Captain the Hon. G. F. Hastings, was docked to• day to refit, but is ordered to remain here for the present. In pursuance of the new scheme of saving intended to be adopted in the dockyards, the sailmakers in this yard, who have for nearly three years worked their dinner time, have been directed to do so no longer. As this will only operate as an injury to a few poor men, without being of any material consequence as a reduction, and as the work intended to be forwarded when it was commenced has not yet been completed, it is much to be deprecated. The Plumper new screw-sloop was undocked to-day to make room for the Cyclops. She will be tried with her own screw in a few days. The Hecate steam-sloop was brought out of the basin alongside the jetty. Now she is paid off she is found not to be so decayed in her timbers as was at first supposed. 42 cwt., 8 feet long.

The experiment of enclosing the betting ring on the flat (the lower one being given up), and confining it to the subscribers of half a guinea weekly, or two gui neas annually, was commenced this meeting, and although it has not met with unanimous approval, will, we have no doubt, when some alterations have been made, answer the purpose aimed at, viz., that of excluding per sons whose intrusion has long been a source of great annoyance. We would suggest that the horse gates shonld be at the side, in the centre of the rails; this would not only improve the ingress and egress for horse men, but would prevent much of the danger to which the foot people are exposed by the gates being so close to the entrances to the inner circle. It is to be hoped that similar accommodation will be provided at the Duke's Stand. LATEST BETTING, TRIENNIAL STAKES.

OLD COURT. TRIAL OF CUFFEY, FAY, AND LACY. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Davis was recalled, and said he was at the meeting on the 14th of August, at the Orange Tree. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL proposed to put the state ment written by Superintendent Matks into the witness' hands. Mr. BALLANTINE objected to its being put into his hands. There was no precedent for such a course, and he trusted it would never be made one. What guaran tee was there that the statement was accurately taken down? Evidence of this important kind should be wholly free from suspicion. Mr. PARRY followed on the same aide. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL contended that the evi dence was admissible, and cited cases in support of his view. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS was of opinion that the evi dence was admissible, but considered that owing to the witness having been in court during the greater part of the discussion, the placing of the document in the wit ness's hands to refresh his memory would not be satis factory. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, then he would exa mine the witness without showing him the paper. No doubt that would be more satisfactory to his Lordship. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS thought it would. The examination of the witness was then resumed. He said, I recollect being at the Lord Denman on the day before the intended rising. Twenty-eight or thirty per sons were present. Richie was among them, and a per son named Johnson (Powell, the approver) was likewise present. Mullins was chairman at that meeting, and he and Brewster, Cuffey, Payne, and Lacy, went out as a sub-committee. They all returned in about three quarters of an hour except Lacy, and Mullins said they had come to the conclusion to have an outbreak on the following evening, and that he himself would take the Seven-dials district, and Payne, Brewster, and Bar rett were to lead three other divisions. Tri-coloured bands were distributed for the leaders, and witness had two given to him, one for himself and another for a de legate who could not attend. The witness then pro ceeded to give a detail of what occurred at this meeting, corroborating the evidence of the approver. He deposed that Richie was to command the " luminaries, as the five men were termed, who were to meet at the Orange Tree on the 16th, and that the pass-word by which he was to know them was " justice." He also said that a person, who was one of the bail of Ernest Jones, was also ipresent at the meet ing of the 15th. He was likewise present at a previous meeting, when Mullins proposed that each delegate should provide men, who were willing to fire houses, or do anything of tha t that might be required of them; and Cuffey at the same meeting remarked that " it was no use mincing the matter, for all their necks were in danger, and they might as well speak out plainly." He only knew Johnson by that name, and he had no idea that he was communicating with the police until he read an account of his examination at the police-court. He had no idea before then that he was a spy, and he was the last man he should have suspected. He said that at another meeting some person who was a stranger to him represented that the Irish brigade had all provided themselves with muskets and several rounds of ball. car tridges, and they were ready to act in any manner in co-operation with the Chartists. The " visionary pre sident " referred to by the witness Powell, ho said, he understood, was in reality intended to be a person named Churchill, then residing in France, and all the Chartists in each locality were to pay a farthing a week each for his support. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL here asked the witness whether at any of the meetings it was proposed that men should go round the town at night, and see what force the Government had at its disposal? Mr. BALLANTINE objected to the question. It was like asking the witness whether the prisoners were guilty of high treason. Mr. PARRY-It was a scandalous question. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the Learned Counsi had no right to make such an observation. In the course of a long examination like the present it was impos sible always to keep within the strict rules of evidence. The witness then proceeded to state that Mullins told him they intended to erect barricades from the Seven dials down Drury-lane to St. Mary's Church, in the Strand, and he showed him a plan with the barricades erected upon it. He also said that Temple-bar would make a good barricade, and then they were to go down to the water-side and make sure of Chaplain end Horne's premises. Another party was to go into the City and to take possession of St. Paul's Church.—(A laugh.) The witness said that he attended the meetings as a delegate from Greenwich, and was acknowledged in that capacity. He said that he knew Dowling as the secretary of the Davis Club, and he knew that he was a Confederate, and Payne, Mullins, and Brewster, were specially appointed to draw up plans fur attacking the police and the soldiers. Crops-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—I was not a Chartist, but merely joined them for the purpose of oh taining information. I wished to ingratiate myself with these people on purpose that I might betray them. I was not employed as a spy by any one, but I created myself a spy. I had no obj , et of emolument, but merely desired to protect life and property. I wished to retire from the business several times, but the superintendent and inspector of police would not let me. I did n 4 expect to be paid any more remuneration than will make up for the loss of trade I have sustained. The Government have not made me any promise of re muneration. In the last few weeks die people at Greenwich have suspected me of being a spy, and I have lost my trade in consequence of it. I was not examined before a magistrate, and I am sure the prisoners would have no means of knowing what I was going to say. I came here to-day as a voluntary witness. I applied to be examined, and I was not summoned or subpm teed. I have been asked to appear as a witness, but I refused. I came forward in consequence of what I read in the newspaper of the cross-examination of Powell, and see ing that he made rather a bad figure, and knowing that such charges could not be brought against me, I thought I would come forward and give evidence of the truth. I thought the jury would nut believe him on his oath. Mr. BALLANTINE — Perhaps, after reading what you did of him, you would not yourself believe him on his oath? Witness—l should in this matter, because 1 know he spoke the truth. Cross-examination continued—l used to carry loaded pistols for my own protection. I never got up any meeting myself. I communicated with the inspector of policy this morning, and asked his advice whether I should come up or not, and by his advice I did so. By the ATTORNEY • GENERAL — The paper I saw was the Morning Advertiser. I read the cross-examination of Powell, and I immediately communicated with the police. Before I read ,the paper I had no intention to give evidence. Charles Baldwinson deposed that he was a class-leader of the Lambeth Chartist locality, which held its meet icga at the Chartiat-hall, Webber-street. He deposed that he was present at the meeting on the 15th, and that the proposition was made for the rising to take place on the following day, and witness and the other class leaders were told they wore to bring their men armed the following night, and those who had not got arms were to be told where they would get arms. They were to meet first at the Peacock, and then they were to go to the Broadway, Westminster, 'where they were to meet the Dean-street ;locality. He was also told that there were to be three other divisions assembled at, different parts of the town. At eight oielock in the evening of the, 16 th'he went to the Peacock, and found Morgan, Conway, Pedlar, Winshare, and Chester there, and Pedlar pro • duced some coloured ribbons for the delegates to wear on their arms, so that their men might know them. He also produced some gunpowder, and made cartridges with it. Witness h a d a pi s t o l w ith him, and Pedler gave him a cartrielge to charge it with. In consequence of minutes something th e l an dl a d y sa id t h ey l e f t t h e P eacoc k, an d t o after t he they Angel, g 0 int there WebW eb theber Webber-street, policet r e et , came and in absonudt tplriroeceee ded apprehended them. He added, that he had given infor mation to the police about three o'clock in the afternoon 1 of the 16th. Cross-examined--He care no information to the - po- ROYAL MARINE ARTILLERY. A detachment, consisting of 1 captain, 2 lieutenants, 5 sergeants, 5 corporals, 1 bombardier, 1 drummer, and 103 gunners, disembarked this morning at the Victualling Store Barracks, Portsmouth, from the Driver steam •sloop, being a portion of the force sent to Ireland in that vessel and the Cyclops on the occa sion of the recent outbreak. CORK, SEPT. 25.—SAILING OF THE CHANNEL SQUADRON FOR ENGLAND.—OD the 25th instant the squadron under the orders of Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., consisting of the St. Vin cent, 120 guns, Captain S. Dacres, bearing the flag of Sir Charles Napier ; the Prince Regent, 90, Capt. W. F.. Martin ; the Bellerophon, 80, Captain R. L. Baynes, C.B. ; and the steamers Blenheim (screw), 55, Capt. H. D. Chads, C. 8., the Amphion, 34 (screw), Capt. W. J. Williams; and the Reynard (screw), 10, Commander Cracroft, weighed and made sail from the Cove of Cork for Plymouth and Ports mouth. On arriving at the latter port, it is said Sir Charles's flag•ship will be paid off, and his flag.trans ferred to another three-decker for foreign service. The Stromboli steam-sloop, Commander Lord Aure lius Beauclerk, has been detached from the squadron on the 23d, and sent to Kingstown, where she arrived on the 24th, to remain until further orders. On the sailing of Napier's squadron, the only men-of-war left in Cork harbour were Rear-Admiral Mackay's flag frigate Crocodile, the Rifleman (screw) schooner, Lieut. Crofton, and the Shearwater, steam-vessel, Lieut. E. Turnour. . PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 2G.—This morning at half past eleven o'clock Lord Auckland, the First Lord of the Admiralty, accompanied by Admiral Dundas, Captain Berkeley, Captain Lord John Hay, and Mr. Ward, secretary, landed from the Port-Admiral's barge at the Royal William Victualling-yard. Their Lord ships were received by Captain Toup Nicholas, Captain Superintendent, Mr. Armstrong, Master Attendant, and Mr. Pike, storekeeper, and were conducted by them through the departments of this noble establishment. They first entered the bake house, and examined the mill and machinery, and then surveyed the powerful steam-engine in the brew house, whence they went into the Clarence storehouse. The surrey appeared to give entire satisfaction. The establishment of the Royal William Victualling office comprises Captain Superintendent, 8001.; Mas ter Attendant, 3801. ; storekeeper, 500/. ; and 4 clerks 3001. to 80/. ; 2 engineers, 12 coopers, 1 shipwright, 1 carpenter, 1 mason, 1 painter, 9 bakers, 6 smiths, 4 millers, .55 labourers, and lil policemen. Besides the above, there are at present 48 extra labourers daily expecting their discharge. To show the extent of labour which the famine in Ireland threw on this establishment, it may be stated that within the last fortnight there have been received, as Treasury relief stores, from the Andromache, Andromeda, and Madagascar Irish depots, 100,575 sacks, each capable of containing 2801 b. of meal, and in proportion, about one-tenth the above number of biscuit bags, each capable of holding 11216. bread. Their Lordships left the yard at a quarter after twelve, and being conducted by Captain Superin tendent T. P. Nicholas, proceeded to the Royal Naval Hospital, where they arrived at half-past twelve. They were received by the naval and medical officers of the establishment, and being accompanied by Cap tain Sir Thomas Maitland, of the San Josef, pro ceeded to inspect the stores of the hospital and service afloat, and the medical stores, and after going through the wards retired to the office of the Captain Super intendent, where they remained some time. The present establishment comprises a Captain Superin tendent, two Lieutenants, 230/. per annum ; Medical Inspector, 6021. 55.; Deputy-Inspector, 501/.175. 61; Agent, 4001 ; Surgeon, 3741. 2s. Gd. ; Assistant, 2551. 10s.; seven acting Assistant-Surgeons, 1271. Bs.; Chaplain, 3001.; two porters and fifteen labourers; the number of nurses engaged being in proportion to the patients under care. Considerable reduction is expected to be made in this and other establishments, but the particulars are referred by the Board to the consideration of one of their number, Captain Alex. ander Milne, and the secretary, Mr. G. Ward, M.P. Their Lordships next visited the Royal Marine Barracks, where they arrived at two o'clock. They minutely inspected the barracks, and visited the school, the infirmary, ordnance departments, &c., and expressed themselves well pleased with the cleaniness and arrangement which prevailed. There are not more than four companies of this division at present in quarters. The inspection of these troops, when drawn up in order on the Parade, was very satisfac tory. The united services of Brevet-Majors Dela combe and Hornbrook, Captains Clarke and Graham, the four senior captains present, amounted to 166 years. After their Lordships had partaken of a dejeuner with the officers of Marines, they proceeded to in spect the massive fortifications constructing. on Eastern King Point, and then went to Western King Point, where the Royal Marines were exercised firing shot from the three-gun battery. Some time was lost here in consequence of the small craft in the Sound obstructing the range, which was over the bridge, towards a target fixed to the north of the Caledonia. The Lords of the Admiralty at four o'clock, accom panied by the Flag-Lieutenant of Port-Admiral Sir William Hall Gage, entered the Caledonia's boat at Devil's Point and proceeded to the Plymouth Citadel. The Hon. Henry Murray, Commander of Forces for the Western District, in the marines' boat, joined their Lordships at the landing-place. Here they were received by Colonel Oldfield, Royal Engineers, who escorted the distinguished party through the lower fort up to the church, and the new bomb proof barracks constructed under the south ramparts. The 28th Regiment, which occupy the citadel, were drawn out in line on the Parade, and Lord Auckland and his colleagues, escorted by Captain H. F. Wakefield, the officer on duty, walked down in front of this well dis ciplined body of men. his Lordship ascended the ramparts to the west of the main entrance, where the party was shortly joined by Colonel Messiter, who c ommands the 28111. A great addition has lately been made to the ordnance of this garrison, every embrasure being now provided with a gun. The new asphalte embrasures obtained especial observation, and the 32-pounder, lately mounted on the south-east angle of the citadel, was minutely inspected. This gun, which revolves, was wheeled round to show the extensive sweeps which it commands. having made the entire circuit of the ramparts, their Lordships descended by the slope on the eas t o f t h e main en trance, and at six o'clock in the evening left for De vonport. To-morrow (Wednesday) their Lordships proceed in the steam-vessel Undine toValinouth. On Thursday morning the Board return to town. The whole of the Marine corps now in Ireland are ordered home in her Majesty's steam-frigate Birken head, Captain IL T. Austin, with the exception of 400 men under command of Colonel J. I. Willis, who will form a stationary corps there, the appointment of an Adjutant and other staff officers having been com pleted. The Adventure transport went into Hamoaze to day. She is to be paid off, her ballast moved, and her hold thoroughly cleansed, when she will be re commissioned under the dockyard authorities. The Implacable, 74, is to be taken into dock to morrow to have her copper examined. Wind, easterly; moderate. NAVAL ARMAMENTS.

ROWING MATCHES. The two great matches of yesterday, between Putney and Kew, which we are about to record, had created for some time past great excitement in the aquatic circles, and in order to afford those interested in the events an opportunity of witnessing the races throughout, two steam-boats had been chartered for the occasion, the Childe Harold and Lalla Rookh, both of which were filled with gentlemen anxious to view the sport. The first race was for 301. a-side, between Thomas Coombes (the brother of the champion of the Thames) and Richard Messam, of Richmond, and it was one of the most determined and gallant races for upwards of a mile and a half, that has been seen for many years, eliciting the warmest approbation from every be holder. Of Thomas Coombes it will be hardly neces sary to offer many remarks ; he has been so often betore the public for years past as to spare the neces sity of any introduction, and has always proved him self a very good and game man, but as little is known of his opponent, it may be as well briefly to observe that he was successful about the second year of the great Thames regatta, in car rying off Mr. Evan Morris's coat and badge, and won the sculler's prize at the Thames regatta, at Putney, last season. Thomas Coombes was entered for the latter race, but owing to not coming to his station at the proper time, the race was started with • andtesting opinionoccurred respect, as the m ese u p e r hd n i ; m atch was made. The distance to be contested was from Putney bridge to the Ship at Mortlake, a distance of about four miles and a half. Mr. Jackson having been ap pointed umpire for Messam, Mr. Johnson for Coombes, and Mr. E. Searle having kindly under taken the office of referee, the men, at a little after two, came to their stations at Putney-bridge, both having; extremely light wager boats, and exhibiting such excellent condition as created the most sanguine expectations on the part of their backers and ad mirers. Indeed it was evident that they must have paid the utmost attention to their training for some weeks past, Coombes having been in close practice at Adams's, the Red Lion, at Hammersmith, and his opponent at Richmond. At a quarter past two they effected a capital and very rapid start from Putney-bridge, and after a few strokes, Coombes drew the nose of his boat about three feet in advance of that of his adversary, Coombes having started from the Surrey side of the centre arch, and his oppo nent at the next pier on the Middlesex side. As they neared the ground of Finch's, Coombes had almost half his boat in advance of the nose of his adversary's,_ e and applied himself with great power to draw the other half clear, but without success, and in in a t this position they continued for the next three minutes, or so, both being cheered on by their partisans, then put rowing in the most gallant style. I s, utes z IN course 0 f a few on a fine spurt, and became in the t c of strokes as even as at the m oment with renewed starting with him, and the race was recomn?ncenh, drew the nose vigour. Messam now, in advance, and inch by inch, of his boat about half a do b z , e d n made it a trifle more ; just above the Crabtree in the most plucky Coombes then went aga n i z n e t n c w ge o o r , k i pulls placed him style, and the next scull his antagonist. The again scull and scu a h s most intense, but the ent w w it interest at moment decided ; encouraged by the fate of the day was m a . was the better man when the plaudits of his wfrisensds, Coombes clearly illustrated and he went, stroke by stroke, the fact that he trying moment came, from his opponent a few yards below gradually away the suspension -bridge, after . which he materially in creased without over- exfrtin h imself his advantage g Coombes passed through Hammersmith-brid ge 1 1 m inutes 10 seconds after the start, two clear lengths ahead, and won by upwards of 150 yards ; accom plishing the distance in 26 minutes 43 seconds. Messatn, although a beaten man, deserves much credit for having exhibited throughout a disheartening stern wager the greatest possible pluck. Betting at the start was even. The second race was between Mr. Harpour, of Richmond, and Mr. Berry, of the Cloanthus Club. Both gentlemen ameteurs, who have before distin guished themselves ; Mr. Harbour having in the middle of last month successively in one week won the feathers priva at Isleworth, Richmond, and Mortlake regattas, and his opponent having, beside* being an unfortunate competitor in two of these, car' ried off, with Mr. Friend, a fellow•member 0f th e . same club, the prize for pair oared boats at the 1 S ) Thames regatta. The present race emanated frog) that at Mortlake, to say nothing of an unpleasant occurrence at Richmond. At the latter, owing to some misdirection, Mr. Berry, who had won bis trial heat, against Mr. \Valford, went to the wrong end of the course, and being too late for the stand was dept iveci of competition with Mr. llarpour ; 31) at the Mortlake regatta, two days afterwards, after bein nearly scull and scull with Mr. Harp our, for g two thirds of the distance, he became disqualified, is consequence of a foul. With a desire to test Mast tensions in a distance calculated to test the ing merits of the men, Mr. Berry challenged his former opponent, and the distance from liew-bridge to Chiswick Eyot was determined upon for yesterdaY ° race. Betting was even, Mr. Harpour for choice. The race disappointed the expectations of many, was d although both exerted themselves to the utmost, vi a somewhat hollow affair. Mr. Harpour had the station on the Middlesex side, a slight ad Vantage, 19 opponent being in the eddy. A bustling start virs' succeeded by Berry after a few strokes, showing the nose of his boat in front, which he gradually dreit more in advance, despite the strenuous exertions of his opponent. In about a quarter of a mile Delr. Berry had drawn himself clear, and after this he went right away, gradually winning by a minute , and doi the distance in 19 min. 30 sec. It had been general', supposed that Mr. Harpour would have made it $ closer race. g RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 27.

SHOCKING CATASTROPHE AT BATTERSEA...--. 011 Tuesday afternoon the following melancholy occident occurred in Surrey-lane, Battersea. Two men, named Cummins and Holgar, plasterer, we re employed on the house of Mr. Gaines, the florist, Cummins being on the roof, and Holgar on the scaffolding immediately under neath; Cummins most imprudently jumped from the roof to the scaffolding, when the putlock gave way, and both men were precipitated from a height of at least sixty feet, the house being an old and lofty mansion. Cummins reached the ground first, and Holgar falling on him killed him on the spot, and was himself so injured that his life is despaired of. Cummins has left a wife and young family. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATII LAST EVENING—It is our melancholy duty to record the sudden demise of a gentleman connected with the press of this town, Mr. Whiting, who has for some time been engaged in the sub-editorial and reporting department of the Manchester Times. Mr. Whiting was present at the Agricultural Society's dinner at Radcliffe yesterday, and appeared to be in his usual state of health. He ate heartily, and after dinner drank one or two glasses of sherry. In company with several friends he walked to the railway station, and arrived with them in Manchester about nine o'clock. They proceeded together to the refreshmen t rooms, where Mr. Whiting partook of a portion of a glass of ale. At that time he appeared to be in hi s usual spirits, and entered freely into conversation. Sud denly, however, he was seised, as if with a fit; his neck erchief and collar were immediately untied, and his tear pies were bathed with cold water. A medical reap was then sent for, who in a short time arrived, but life was extinct. The deceased expired reclining in a chair, and apparently without the slightest struggle. Mr. Whit in g' who was upwards of forty years of age, was m arried, an d has left a wile and six children t o deplore their sudden and untimely bereavement. —Manchester', Examiner of yesterday.

A named Rob er t B e ll B urns , was brought young up innincaus,tody of Geor ge H o d ges , 143 A, on the charge of forging the acceptance to a bill of ex change for 2001. John Earles, a clerk to Messrs. Coutts and Co., the bankers, said—This morning a bill was brought to our banking-house, bearing date " London, Ist Sept., 1848," drawn by H. Calvert, on the manager of the Bank of Scotland for 2001. sterling, payable one day after date. It was presented by a Mr. Hitchins, who inquired whether the discrepancy between the terms of the bill and the acceptance would occasion its re fusal, and he was informed that, although the ac ceptors kept an account at their house, still the acceptance was a forgery. James Wilkins Hitchins , of No. 8, Ponto-square, was then called, and said I called at Mr. Teague's office, in Aldermanbury, yesterday afternoon, be tween five and six o'clock. Mr. Teague shortly after came in and asked me if I could lend the prisoner some money, as he only wanted 21. Not having that sum about me, I did not immediately get the amount, but afterwards did, Mr. Teague giving me a bill of the prisoner's for 2001., as security. The bill was not endorsed at the time I received it, but it was handed to the prisoner, who wrote the endorsement on the back in my presence, and then gave it to me. An appointment was made with the prisoner to meet me the next day at the Duke of York's column, for the purpose of redeeming it, but, having spoken to my solicitor, I was advised to make a few inquiries before meeting him, and accordingly I went to the banking-house and asked the question which the last witness deposed to. After that a clerk was sent to meet the prisoner, and he was eventually given into custody. On further examination, the witness said that the bill was given to hi m i n Redcross-street, and endorsed at some tavern in the neighbourhood. Mr. Teague, solicitor, of Aldermanbury, said—l have known the prisoner for some months, and have been acting as his solicitor. I understood he was to advance a large sum of money, as I believe from the correspondence that has passed between me and other parties. It was in the early part of the month. He brought me this bill, which I deposited in my iron safe, saying, that it would enable me to say that I had a portion of his money. I kept it there for some days, and on Saturday week he wanted some money for a temporary purpose, when I got a person of the name of Hunter to advance the 21., leaving this bill, which I identify, as security, believing at the time that it was a genuine one. Yesterday afternoon, when I went to the office, I found the prisoner in the inner office, and Mr. Hitchins on the stairs, going down. The prisoner was to let me have the 21. to get the bill back yesterday, and on asking him if he had the money, he said that he had not. He had previously told me of money transactions with Mr. Hitchins • and I said there can be no objection to your asking Mr. Hitchins for the amount, and he said he would ask him. Mr. Hitchins was then called in and consented to do so if the pri soner would endorse the bill, which he promised to do. They all three proceeded to Mr. Hunter's, and having paid the money, the bill was given into Mr. Elitctuns's custody after the prisoner had properly en dorsed it at a public-house close at hand. The pri soner and Mr. Hitchins then left together, and I have not seen them until now. I understand from what has occurred bet ween me and the prisoner that he was coming into a small fortune of 1,500/., and that the bill in question was a portion of it, and that wishing for money he did not wish to break into such a large amount for so small a sum, as it was only for a tem porary purpose. The prisoner declined saying anything beyond ask ing the Alderman whether he could not be con victed summarily ? Alderman SIDNEY told him that at present he did not know what he should do with him, but all events he must be remanded until Friday, for further in quiries to be made. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Benjamin Thomas Cotton, a clerk in the employ of Mr. Burton, furnishing ironmonger, Oxford-street, was brought up for final examination, charged with having embezzled the sum of '2l. 2s. 6d., the property of his employer. A porter, nam ed Pra ed, in the service of Mr. . d the prisoner gave hi m an accoun t o f to collect. When he returned home with li Te r2 m tso. o n n d ey he had collected, he received two cheques from the prisoner for amounts which he was to pay over to the cashier, and then the prisoner asked him for 2/. 2s. 6d., which he gave him without receiving any cheque. Witness mentioned the circumstance the next mo rning to Mr. Alf re d B ur t on . The cashier said, the prisoner, as clerk, had no business to receive any money. There were printed directions, prohibiting money from being received by any one but the cashier, placed in different parts of the warehouse. The prisoner, instead of receiving the money, ought to have given the porter a cheque, and the porter ought to have taken the money into the counting- house. Mr. Burton said he waited until Saturday before he took any steps in the mattsr. Finding the money was not paid over by the prisoner, he caused him to be taken into custody. When in custody the prisoner admitted that he had taken the money for a tempo rary purpose, but he said it was his intention to have paid it back the day on which he was apprehended. A sum of money equal to the abstracted sum was found in his possession. Mr. Wontner, on behalf of the prisoner, contended that no embezzlement had been committed. The prisoner had been in the prosecutor's employ for two years, and had hitherto borne a good character. lle had borrowed the motley for a few hours, but the proof that he intended to return it was to be found in the fact of money found on him when he was given into custody. In addition to this, it had been held under the Embezzlement Act, that where a servant received money, and handed it over to another party, if that party appropriated the money it was not em bezzlement. To constitute embezzlement the money must have been received for the employer, without the intervention of any second party. Mr. HARDWICK was of opinion that the case was one for the decision of a jury, who would no doubt take previous good character into consideration. The prisoner was then fully committed.

[AD v - eausEsi eNT.] —lndigestion. —No medicine has proved so efficient for the cure of indigestion and diseases of the stomach as Worsdell's Restorative Pills, prepared by John Kaye, Esq., of Dalton•hall, near Hud dersfield. All who have used them speak in the highest terms of gratitude and praise as to their wonderful effi cacy. Mr. Charles Adams, farmer, of Cheddesden, near Bungay, suffered from indigestion and extreme debility for seven years, during which period he was attended by two medical gentlemen. Ile was said to be in a consump tion, and no hopes were given of his recovery. He de termined, however, to give the Vegetable Restorative Pills a fair trial. He experienced great relief from tak ing the first box; and, to his great surprise and comfort, perseverance in the use of them restored him to perfect health.
