Summonses have been served on the several gen tlemen from whom the grand jurors for the South Riding of the County of Tipperary are usually selected, requiring them to attend as jurors at Clon inel on Thursday, the 21st instant, on which day the Special Commission will be opened for the trial of the prisoners implicated in the recent outbreak. A just and impartial jury will thus be obtained, who will honestly and eonscientously discharge the grave responsibility imposed upon them, and who will return true verdicts according to the evidence, un- biassed by any prejudice or partiality, and unde- terred by intimidation or terrorism. The manner in which the jury of the county of Tipperary acted upon the occasion of the Special Commission last spring was the theme of universal approbation, and deservedly called forth the warmest eulogium from the Learned Judges who then presided. We doubt not that they will exhibit equal firmness and judg ment in the forthcoming trials, and that they will again entitle themselves to the public thanks and the public gratitude for their efficient and valuable services. Their task will be an arduous one. On the one side they must divest their minds of every impression that by any possibility might prove prejudicial to the unfortunate persons whose future fate must in a great degree depend upon their decisions, they must forget the various reports and rumours that had been circulated throughout their respective districts, and decide solely upon the sworn testimony that may be adduced before them as sworn jurors. If any reasonable doubt may be entertained as to the guilt of the parties on trial, it will be their unquestionable duty to give the prisoners the benefit of that doubt, remembering the humane precept of the British law, " that it is better that ninety-nine guilty men should escape the punishment due to their crime than that one innocent man should be unjustly con demned ;" but if the case should be brought clearly home—that no such doubt can be felt—no alternative will remain ; the solemn obligation by which they are bound enforces a true verdict, which must be returned, however painful may be the result, how ever deeply they may sympathise with the families and friends of the unfortunate men in their heavy affliction, and lament the fearful consequences of the offences that have been committed. Having, however, discharged that painful duty, and returned a honest verdict, they may, if they think proper, give expression to their desire, that the brightest prerogative of the Crown should be exer cised in favour of the convicted prisoners —that justice should be tempered with mercy, and that the live s of the criminals should be spared. The majesty of the law may be sufficiently vindicated without the spilling of human blood. The almost unanimous opinion of persons of every shade and variety of political or religious feeling, of every class in society from the most exalted to the humblest, at either side of St. George's Channel, has been clearly and unequi vocally expressed in favour of a mild and humane decision by the responsible advisers of the Crown ; and we firmly believe that the most unwise and impolitic course that could be adopted would be the carrying into stringent execution the fearful penalties prescribed by the law for the very grave offences charged against the prisoners. The future tran quillity of Ireland will, in a great degree, depend upon the determination that may be arrived at. A lenient and moderate punishment will have far greater effect as an example in deterring others from the per petration of similar crimes, than the infliction of the most sangui nary d eat h upon t h e sca ff o ld , accompan i e d by are ly th m e heavi es t mar k s of i gnom i ny. I f the prisoners transported;,. they will :speedily be for gotten, merely rre membered only with feelings of contempt and ridicul e f or their abortive and feeble attempt; . but if they s h ould, in accordance with the sentence which the Court must pronounce, be hanged by the neck until they ar e dead, their heads b e su b sequent l y cut off, and ex hib ited to the disgusted spectat o r s , an d their bodies cut into quarters, whi c h, w i t h their heads, should b e disposed of regarded to th e R oya l a pleasure, they wou l d be martyrs, their f o lli es and bee g ss would be l os t heroes an d sight of, and they would be k memories of their countrymen as - consecrated who unhe sitatingly sacrificed their li ves happiness of their native land. N freedom the ew rebelseedom and would spring from their ashes, the caus e for whichthe bled would gain additional strength fro m the veryy means adopted to crush it, and the struggle would again and again be renewed, and perhaps might not be so speedily and bloodlessly repressed as in the pre sent instance. The more important business of the Commission cannot be proceeded with in the first instance. A week, at least, must be consumed before any of the trials for high treason can take place. Although the same privileges are not afforded to prisoners charged with that offence in Ireland which are allowed in this country, still certain delays are necessary, after the finding of the bills of indictment, which are not re quired in any other case. In England, the prisoner is entitled (under the statute 7 Anne, cap. 21), in cases of treason or misprision of treason, unless the overt acts shall be directed against the person of the Sovereign, to have a list of the witnesses to be pro duced on the trial and of the jury delivered to him at the same time with the copy of the bill of indict ment, which copy, together with these lists, must be delivered ten clear days, at the least, before the trial can take place. Our readers will recollect that the argument in the case of the Monmouthshire Char tists, FROST, Jonas, and WlLLiems, aroee upon these provisions of the statute, the copy of the indictment and of the jury panel having been delivered several days before the lists of witnesses, and the Judges ultimately decided, by a majority of nine to six, although the trial was not had for more than ten days after the list of witnesses were handed to the prisoners ; " that the delivery was not a good deli very in law," although it was also decided " that the objection was too late after plea pleaded." This statute, however, does not apply to Ireland, and all that a prisoner under charge of high treason in that country is entitled to is, that he should receive a copy of the indictment five clear days (exclusive of the day on which he is served with the copy, and of the day on which he is arraigned), before he is called upon to plead thereto. This will, however, necessarily delay the proceed ings until the latter end of the week after the Com mission is opened, and the earlier part of the sittings must, therefore, be devoted to the trial of prisoners for more vulgar and common-place offences, of whom, however, there is no lack at any time in the county of Tipperary. The numerous accidents that have recently oc curred on different lines of railways, even of those where the most careful management exists, have created a strong feeling in the public mind that some mode should be adopted by which the pas sengers should be able immediately to commu nicate with the guards or driver in the event of anything wrong being observed. Repeated instances have occurred of passengers being kept during the entire period while the train was per forming its journey from one stage to another in a state of the greatest terror and alarm, occa sioned perhaps by the intrusion of some im proper person placed in the same compartment of the carriage, either an actual lunatic, or one excited by intoxicating liquors into a state of temporary in sanity. A fire might perchance occur, which might be fanned into the fiercest flame, before it was observed by those who could stop the progress of the train and extricate the affrighted travellers from the fear ful danger in which they were placed, or perhaps a fellow-passenger might be seized with an apoplectic fit, or some other attack, in which his life might be saved if speedyassistance could be obtained, but which would be inevitably lost, if even a few minutes should elapse before the fitting remedies were administered. These things have already occurred, and it is im possible to say that similar events may not again take place. The late melancholy accident, by which Lieuenant- Colonel BAIRD was deprived of life, might have been prevented, if the passengers who clearly felt the "bumping, rolling, and oscillation" of the carriages for some time before the accident happened, had been enabled to communicate with the driver so as to make him sensible that something was wrong which should immediately be inquired into, and that the train should be stopped for that purpose. A valuable life would thus have been preserved, and the company would have been spared much expense and annoyance. Many timid persons have been deterred from travelling by rail ways from the occurrence of such accidents, who would feel re-assured ifsome means of communication were opened to them. An efficient signal that might be made use of in cases of emergency would be most valuable to the several companies, and to the public in general. It would save the latter the heavy ex penses of repeated accidents, any one of which would cost many times the amount of the outlay that would be necessary for the adoption of precautions that would most probably have averted the danger, while the public in general would have their apprehensions allayed, and travel with much greater satisfaction, to say nothing of the additional, safety that would be thus obtained. Many signals have already been devised, but a formidable objection exists to every one that has as yet been promulgated, which render them compara tively worthless. It is essential that the attention of the driver and the guards should be attracted simul taneously, that the signal should equally act by day or night, or even in the thickest fog ; and its utility would be greatly increased, if it was of such a character that not only the persons in charge of, and travelling by the train, but also any approaching train, or pilot-engine, or any per son obstructing the line in the way of the danger, might at the same time be alarmed, and enabled to adopt the necessary precautions. But by what means is this great desideratum to be attained P that is the question which should be answered. We believe the problem has been solved, and that at length a signal has been constructed that will answer every purpose, and enable all parties, whether drivers, stokers, passengers, or guards, immediately to communieate with each other in a manner im• possible to be misunderstood, and which will also warn every person within a con siderable distance of something being wrong or defective, which would even act of itself in the event of any of the carriages getting off the line of rails, a spring axletree, or the linkchain connecting the different vehicles breaking, or other accidents hap pening, which the most prudent forethought, and careful supervision might be unable to avert. It will be equally efficient by day or by night, in the brightest light or the thickest fog. This most important signal, a model of which was yesterday exhibited to us by the inventor, is the dis covery of a young man named FRANCIS JOHN ANGUS, a workman in the employment of M essrs . CUBITT and Company, Gray's Inn-road. It can easily be fitted to any carriage at a very trifling ex pense. Nothing can be more simple, or at the same time more effective for the purposes which it is intended to fulfil. The model, which the inventor is most desirous of exhibiting and subjecting to any test that might be desired, will show the peculiar merits of the invention more fully than any mere letter- press description; we may, however, say that it consists of an alarm of a very powerful cha- racter, which is intended to be fixed in front of each carriage, and also on the engine with the driver. A light frame is to be carried under the carriage, with arms of iron fixed in various parts, so that in the _ . event of anything going wrong—for instance, the carriage going off the line, a spring or axle breaking, or the connecting chain being broken—the catch by which the alarm is fastened will at once be raised, the alarm itself instantly set in motion, and a continuous noise of a most powerful description will be immediately occasioned, that must attract universal attention, and which is of a character so different from any of the ordinary noises incidenta' to railway travelling, that it cannot for a moment be mistaken therefor ; it may also be set in motion by any person in or on the carriage. The noise which is occasioned by a wheel, worked by a heavy weight, which strikes on very powerful springs, may be increased to any extent that might be considered desirable merely by increasing the number of these springs. We understand that a trial took place on the South- Western Railway a short time since, and that the alarm occasioned by the model was distinctly heard by the driver and every person in or on the train, although at several carriages distance, and that the experiment was of the most satisfactory description. We most strenuously recommend this inven tion to the notice of all railway directors and others interested in the introduction of an additional element of safety for travellers by the iron roads by which our island is intersected. The inventor states that it might also be fixed in banks, warehouses, shops, or factories, where valu able property was kept, and where it would be de sirable that any undue tampering with locks or windows should immediately be made known. It might also be made use of in case of fire, to warn all within a reasonable distance of their danger, and to call for immediate assistance. We trust that the young man by whom it has been planned may receive that encouragement which the simplicity and merit of his invention so eminently deserve. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The discussion of the "right of labour" question continues in the Assembly, and is likely to continue for some days, as there are not less than fifty Depu ties yet to speak on it. The ouvriers are making every effort to return Resren, MORE, and CADET to the Assembly, and, in consequence of the divisions among the other par ties, their success is considered not improbable. They are also busily engaged in the organization of clubs and secret societies. General CAVAIGNAC, however, is acquainted with their designs, and has caused the strictest watch to be kept pn their proceedings. There is a unity of action among the ouvriers in every part of France, and in several of the provincial towns they have demanded an increase of wages and a decrease of the hours of labour. There was a report current on the Bourse on Tuesday that General CAVAIGNAC had been fired at, It appears that there was some foundation for the rumour, as an officer, who was walking in the garden of General CAVAIGNAC'S residence on Sunday even ing, was fired at from the window of a house in the Rue de Babylone. The Patrie of Tuesday says, the club of deputies of the Rue de Poitiers having been much excited by the announcement that M. PASCAL DUrBAT was ap pointed envoy to Vienna, General CAVAIGNAC de Glared to-day to several Members that M. PASCAL DUPRAT is sent on an extraordinary mission to Hun gary, and not to 'Vienna. Hungary, it is said, is about to send an ambassador to Paris. M. GELLE, sub-prefect of Boulogne, who was by mistake ordered to be transported, on a false accusa tion of having been concerned in the insurrection, has been restored to his post, and has returned to Boulogne to recommence his duties. In the course of the discussion of the right of labour question, which was resumed at the sitting of the National Assembly yesterday, M. Timm made a most eloquent exposure of the dangers and absurdi ties of the doctrine of the right of labour. The Alontagnards several times endeavoured to inter rupt him, and to cough him down, but by the majority of the Assembly he was listened to with great attention and deference. At one part of his speech M. TRIERS having pronounced the word factieuz in rather a marked way, M. FLOCON, rising in his seat, exclaimed that M. TRIERS was a Royalist. This created an im mense sensation, which stopped the speaker for some minutes, but no further notice was taken of it. M. TIIIERS was particularly eloquent in defending the principles of property, liberty, and competition, which have brought society to the degree of prosperity which it has reached. He attacked also, with much success, the Communist and Social theories, showing their absurdity, and the danger of them. He was followed by M. CONSIDERANT, who was speaking when the post left. The masons and carpenters of Paris refuse to work more than ten hours a day. The masters, as autho rised by the recently passed law, insist upon twelve, and the consequence is a general strike. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1848. BOURSE.—Peno, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 13. THREE O'CLOCK.—The fall, which commenced on Monday, made further progress to-day, and all sorts of stocks were exceedingly heavy during the day. As the elections approach the public uneasiness appears to in crease, and the impression is getting stronger every day that they will indicate increasing hostility to the Go vernment. The disaffection of the army is also consi dered very serious, and the fact that the newspapers have been instructed not to speak of it rather adds to than diminishes the alarm. For the Account, the French Three per Cents. have fallen 75c.; Five per Cents. have fallen 50c ; Loan has fallen 25c. For Money, the Three per Cents. have fallen 75c, and the Fire per Cents. 50c.; Bons du Tr6sor not quoted; Bank of France Shares have declined sf. Belgian Bank Shares not quoted. Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are at 39. Spanish, not quoted. Roman has fallen it per cent. Rothschild's Receipts are the same as yesterday. Ex change on London: 30 days, 25 32k; 90 days, 25 20.

They contain no news. PORTUGAL. Intelligence has been received from Portugal to the 10th instant, by the Tiger, which arrived at Southampton yesterday. There is no political news of importance, but the harvest and the vintage were both remarkably fine. GERMANY THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. In the Assembly on the 7th, DOBLROPF, in answer to a question put by BORROSCH, as to how the law abolishing vassalage and feudal burdens would be carried into effect, and whether with or without the instrumentality of the Crown, stated that nothing could be settled on that point, the question being a constitutional one, and to be determined by the Constitution. The cholera has appeared in Vienna, and two deaths have occurred. The Vienna journals of the Bth make no mention of the alleged contemplated change in the Ministry. On the night of the 6th inst. there was a torchlight procession in honour of HERR Boxaosca, whose re cent energetic speech in the Constituent Assembly in favour of popular rights, or rather of the rights of that body, has rendered him again very popular. In one of the addresses to the above deputy it was stated that the people would stand or fall by the 15th of May, and that behind the minority of the Diet the majority of the people were reserving themselves for the last expression of their opinions. The question of the junction of Austria with the Zoliverein was beginning to be agitated in Vienna. HUNGARY AND CROATIA. A letter from Agram, of the sth, states that the advance of the army has been irrevocably fixed for the 7th; 56,000 men will set out on their march across the Warasdin and Csakaturn, under the com mand of the BANN in person. The manifesto of the BANN was to be published at Agram on the 6th. The garrison of Essegg has declared, in answer to a question addressed to it by the Hungarian Minister of War, that it will observe strict neutrality between the Hungarians and the Croatians, and that it will defend the fortress to the last extremity, until the EMPEROR gives orders to deliver it up to one party or another. It adds, that it considers the placing of ten companies of Hungarian National Guards in the fortress as a violation of the neutrality, and as a declaration of war against the Croatians, against whom the garrison declares it will not combat. The reply to the Hungarian Minister of War is signed by the colonel and all the officers in the garrison, and they request that he will forward the document to the Minister at Vienna. The Hungarian Minister of the Interior has issued a circular stating that the insurgent Croatians had been defeated, and that their camp at Perlass had been taken after a two hours' conflict. The deputation from the Hungarian Diet, sent to beg of the EMPEROR to come in person to Pesth, and above all to bring the question between Hungary and Croatia to an issue, was not received by the Eat- PEROR, and had returned to Pesth. Field-Marshal BECHTOLD had been deserted by most of his corps as he was about to attack St. Thomas, the troops say ing they would only attack by order of the EMPEROR. He had, in consequence, been obliged to resign his command. Comorn has declared itself neutral, as well as Essegg. PRUSSIA. Berlin journals of the 11th inst. have arrived. The KING had not up to that date come to any de cision respecting the acceptance or the non-accept ane of the resignation of the Ministers. On the night of the Bth a popular serenade to the Deputies of the Left was given in front of their club. Energetic speeches were delivered from the balcony by WALDECK, STEIN, BERENDS, REICHENBACII, and RUGE, the last Deputy in Frankfort. His Prussian MAJESTY (in conjunction with all the Zollverein states) has issued a deoree subjecting to an increased duty, from Sept. 15, to Dec. 31,1848, a variety of foreign articles, of which the following are the principal—silks, silk stockings, lace, shawls, gauze trimmings, gold and silver wares, and silk or half silk ribbons, on all which articles the additional duty henceforth will be 110 thalers (about 161. 10s.) per cwt.; white three (or more than three) threaded woollen and mohair yarn, half woollen and silk, and all coloured yarn, which will be subjected to an ad ditional duty of 8 thalers (11. 45.) per cwt. English combing yarns are exempted from the additional duty. This increase of duty is intended as a reprisal against France for offering a premium on the export of certain goods. POSEN. The cause of the unfortunate Poles inhabiting the Grand Duchy of Posen has at length been taken up by the Berliners. The democratical society has come out with a warm address to the Poles in Posen, in which the fresh division of their territory is con demned, and in which fervent wishes are expressed for the independence of Poland. The Poles, them selves, have already formed their " league," the ob ject of which is to uphold their cause by peaceful agitation. Membership is not confined to Poles alone. Archbishop PETZLUSYI is the Hon. President of the league, which has its chief club in Berlin. FRANKFORT-ON -THE-MAINE The Archduke JonN, Vicar of the Empire, has issued a decree setting forth the nature of the relations between him and the plenipotentiaries of the various German powers. He states that whilst, through their co-operation, the carrying out of the ordon names of the central executive will be rendered more easy, he cannot concede to them the right of exercising a decisive influence on the resolutions of the central power, or in any way to act collectively in the ma nagement of affairs. M ECKLENBURGH-STRELITZ. There was an insurrection at Mecklenburgh- Strelitz on the 7th, and the GRAND DUKE was compelled to promise the withdrawal of the new electoral law. SC HLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. The Hamburgh papers of the 9th publish a letter from Kiel of the same date, which says, " Yesterday Herr Vox BELOW invited Mr. PREUSSEE, Count REVJNTLOW, Baron VON HEINZE, and Herr BOYSEN to form the new Government of Schleswig-Holstein, giving them the power at the same time of choosing a fifth member as their President. General HALKETT and his staff reached Altona on the flth at noon. HOLLAND. - - - THE HAGUE, SEPT. 12.—The Stoats Courant of the 10th contains the twelve projects of the modified fundamental law, as they have been adopted by both Chambers of the States General. These twelve pro jects have been successively communicated to the provincial states, who were to assemble without delay to proceed to the election of members, who, together with members of both Chambers, are to form a double Chamber. This double Chamber will be convoked for about the 18th, to discuss the new constitution; and, in case of its adoption, it will be again submitted to the First Chamber. From the majority of votes with which these projects have been adopted in the First, as well as the Second Chamber, it is expected that it will meet with very general approbation from the double Chamber. 1 The Staats Courant of the 12th publishes the names of the members elected by the provincial states for the double Chamber for South Holland, North Brabant, Guelderland, North Holland, and Utrecht. His MAJESTY quitted the Hague, on the 10th, for Tilburg, where he was received with every demon stration of joy. Flags were hoisted on the church steeple, and banners were displayed from many private houses. His MAJESTY is expected to remain at Tilburg till the 13th. The intelligence of the expedition of a fleet to the East Indies has been confirmed. Orders have already been given to fit out the Prince of Orange, the Sambre, and the corvette Boreas, furnished with 60, 44, and 28 cannons. The steamer Phoonix, 125-horse power, and the Blomo, 120-horse power, are to be equipped with as little delay as possible, and will be followed by another steamer and several sailing vessels. The Minister of War has issued orders for the immediate preparation of the troops destined for this service. Our naval forces in the East Indies will be provi. sionally composed of four frigates, three corvettes, four brigs, 18 schooners, and 10 steamers. The exportation of provisions, cattle, butter, corn, &c., to England, Belgium, and the south of France, and the consequent insufficiency and high price of these articles for home consumption, have led to an endeavour to cultivate some of the waste lands of North Holland, Guelderland, Oberyssel, and Drenthe. In the latter province alone, which has a super ficies of 266,278 acres, no less than 111,278 acres are heath, and 57,762 acres marshy country. For some years past the Provincial Government of Drenthe has been engaged in improving the country, by making canals, and a general desire is now felt that the Netherlands Government would encourage this sys tem, and thus afford the working classes employment, which would prove a vast benefit to the community at large.—Journal de la Haye. ITALY. VENICE. Letters from Trieste state that the combined squadrons of England and Prance have entered the Adriatic. 111. Ricci and the Envoy who had been sent to Paris to demand the intervention of the French Go vernment had returned, and had declared that General CAVAIGNAC stated that if Austria did not accept the offered mediation, France and England would land troops at Venice, and that, if in spite of this, Austria did not accept the conditions, a French army would cross the Alps. A loan has been openekby the Provisional Go vernment of Venice of ten millions of Italian livres, to be guaranteed by the Ducal Palace at Venice, its pictures, &c. bcc. It was yesterday stated in Paris that the Sardinian fleet had quitted Venice, and that the Austrian fleet was proceeding towards that city. It was even re ported that in consequence of this news the French Government had given orders to the brigade stationed at Marseilles to be instantly embarked and dispatched for Venice. PIEDMONT. A letter from Turin of the 9th states that the Bri tish Minister, Mr. .ABERCROMBY, had received an official c ommun i cation from the Mi n i s t ers o f C HARLES ALBERT announ c i ng t h e conc l u sion of a peace w i t h Austria, the Emperor of AUSTRIA having agreed to the last proposals which the KING had made to him. It was rumoured at Turin that proposals had been received from the Roman Government for the forma tion of a league offensive and defensive between Sar dinia, Tuscany, and Rome. The Courrier de Marseille publishes a letter dated Genoa, Sept. 6, Which says— " Four hundred militiamen embarked for Tuscany the day before yesterday. They were directed to Leghorn by order of the Government. It is stated that the gar rison of Leghorn has fraternized with the mob, and that this is the cause of the dispatch of the above corps, who until now had hoped that they would not be called upon to interfere, but they should be repelled, as the people on board the Commerce do Bastia had been. "Deboni has returned triumphant to Genoa. He has been proclaimed President of the National Club, the first meeting of which is to be held this evening. I cannot say whether it is the presence of Deboni that has occa sioned the display of force which is observable daily, but the fact is that the Government must apprehend some coup de main. The court-yard of the Ducal Palace is guarded by 400 or 500 troops of the line. " The intervention of the French Government is awaited with much anxiety, and seems more probable now than ever." SICILY. The French steamer Tonnere has arrived at Toulon from Naples, which city she left on the 6th. When the last accounts left Messina no decisive advantage appeared to have been gained on either side. A part of the city had been already destroyed. The Mes sinese, surprised at first, sustained much loss, but they soon recovered their spirits, and took terrible revenge. A body of the Neapolitans, who had penetrated into the city on the Ist, and committed all sorts of excesses, were forced to retire again into the citadel, leaving a large number of killed and wounded. The Swiss lost a considerab!e number, and the people marched with their heads on bayonets through the streets of Messina. A steamer, which left Messina o❑ the 3d, brings reports that the citadel and town continued still to fire on each other, and it was thought the town would be reduced to ruins. It was expected that the Neapolitan squadron would attempt landing at different points of the island. A passenger on board the Tancred says that on the 3d, at six in the morning, Messina was fired on by eighteen gun-boats, as well as by the citadel, but that the town answered with such spirit that the gun-boats were damaged and compelled to retire. They then went to the Terra Nuova, where they threw a great number of balls to clear the shore of some batteries that were established there. The Sicilians made feint of a retreat, having spiked their guns, when the gun-beats landed 500 or 600 Swiss, upon whom the Sicilians turned with fury and mas sacred a part, making prisoners of the rest. At the departure of the Tancred, at half-past two in the afternoon of the 31, the advantage appeared to be on the side of the Sicilians. Several houses were then burning in the town. The shells passed so close over the British and French ships moored in the port that they were obliged to change their position. .The Tancred towed out several merchant vessels which were exposed to the fire. Most of the Neapolitan fleet had gone to Reggio. A frigate and five stea mers which had remained entered the harbour to join in the combat, but were soon forced to retire. The gun-boats had taken shelter behind the citadel. It was reported that the French and English Ambas sadors at Naples had unit©d in urging the suspension of hostilities on the Neapolitan Government. TAKING OF MESSINA. A telegraphic dispatch has been received by the French Government, which announces that the Neapolitan troops have taken possession of Messina, after a long bombardment, by which the town suf fered enormously. TUSCANY. The latest intelligence from Leghorn is to the 7th. The city was perfectly tranquil, the barricades had been removed, and business was resumed. A Pro visional Governing Committee had been appointed for regulating the affairs of the town until the arrival of Prince Comm, when the DUKE would resume his usual authority.

A special jury was sworn in this case to assess da mages for compensation for property required by the company. No facts were stated, except by Mr. litywitEY, who said that there had been an arrangement that a verdict should be taken for 2,3501. and 5001. damages. A verdict for that amount was taken. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Edwin James appeared for the company. The premises were situate in Shoreditch, adjoining the station. BENNETT V. HUTCHINSON. The plaintiff in this action is an attorney, and sought to recover 121. 2s. 2d., the amount of a bill of costs. It appeared by the evidence that the plaintiff was the drawer of a bill of exchange, but desired that an action should be brought in the name of Deacon, as he did not wish his name to appear, and he had admitted the debt, and promised to pay. The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF said that if a party chose to direct proceedings in any other name than his own, although he was the real plaintiff he was responsible, and that a written retainer was not necessary. Mr. THoslAs, for the defendant, submitted that the evidence was insufficient, and he considered it hard that plaintiff, after four years, should bring an action in this Court according to his privilege, instead of going to the County Court. The jury gave a verdict for the full amount. A NOVEL OBJECTION.—In a case in which an articled clerk appeared on behalf of the plaintiff, Mr. BAGLEY took an objection to his being heard. The UNDER-SHERIFF said it was the first time such an objection had been taken, and, if pressed, he must decide against the party being heard, as he had a dis cretion leaving it open to him to frame a rule in conso nance with those of other Courts. Mr. BAGLEY said if there had not been a rule he would not be the first to press it. The UNDER-SHERIFF said that he would allow the gentleman to act us advocate as the objection was with drawn, but it must not be taken as a precedent. MARLBRO'-STREET--(THIS DAY.) Mr. Thomas Dennis, a wine me rchant, was brou g h t before Mr. Bingham, charged with,committing an assault upon Henry Davis, a conductor of one of the Bayswater omnibuses. It appeared that on the previous afternoon defendant got into complainant's omnibus in the Poultry, an d rode as fa r as the White Horse Cellar, Piccadilly. On get ting out of the omnibus he tendered the complainant 6d., and demanded 3d. out, contending that the fare was only the latter sum. Complainant point e d out to defendant s notice the placard on the back of the vehicle, whereon w as displayed in large letters, "To Charing-cross, 3d., the whole distance, 6d." Defendant having rode consi derably beyond the 3d. fare, complainant persisted in having the full fare. Defendant then struck com plainant a blow on the side of the head and knocked his hat off. A constable who was present, and witnessed the whole affair, then came up, and defendant was given in charge. Complainant's evidence having been fully corroborated by the constable and the time-keeper to the association, Mr. Bnzatiem asked defendant what he bad to say to the charge? Defendant replied that he certainly did lay hold of complainant and gently tap his head; but he could assure the magistrate it was all a joke, and nothing more. Mr. 13ixanAlt thought otherwise, and fined him 10s.— The money was immediately paid. The Duke and Duchess of Leinster have deferred their intended departure from London in consequence of the indisposition of the Duchess's sister, Lady Caroline Sanford. The Marquis of Clanricarde left town on Monday for Sandgate, Kent, to join the Marchioness and the Ladies De Burgh. IMPORTATION OF BRANDY.—A vessel arrived from Naples has brought 25 hogsheads of brandy, as a portion of her cargo. The importation of brandy from the Neapolitan dominions is of very unusual occurrence, and the arriYal is therefore of some interest. We shall look further into this subject as occasion offers. There is not even to-day so good a feeling as existed yesterday, the Continental accounts, the Irish news, and the rather unfavourable accounts of the potato crops, causing a restlessness which is very perceptible among thoughtful men. Consols are 651 to 86 for present transfer, 86 to i f for account. Exchequer bills of March have been 28s. to 31s. premium. The new Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents, are 864 to 4. Sales have been pressed in the Foreign Stock Market. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 114, and the Three per Cents. 224. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been quoted 214. and Brazilian 754. Mexican Bonds have been 164, Equadur 14 to 24, and Dutch Two-and a-Half per Cents. 441. Railway Shares have been again lower, and the market is in a very weak state.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady. Sales, 6,000 bales, of which 2,000 were American for exportation. The prices paid for 5,000 bales of Ameri c,n ranged from 3d. to 6d. per lb. Railway shares bad been generally lower, with very little doing. The seriously depressed condition of the railway share market renders frequent recurrence to the causes, pre sumed or ascertained, as well as to the future prospeets necessary, and doubtless to most of our readers very ac ceptable. A course of mismanagement, or the excessive confidence felt in the maintenance of high dividends, and more than all, perhaps, the mania of 1845, which forced upon the old lines branches that they could more usefully have made at leisure, have all combined to produce an unsatisfactory feeling, and to lower in present public estimation the value of even the best securities. It is true that the return of interest upon even the best lines, has been depreciated with the rest, but without this being the result, perhaps, of unforeseen or permanent causes. Mr. Glyn, as is well known, an ticipated a decrease in the dividend on the North- Western, and the competition of the York lines was no doubt take❑ into due account. Of the effect of railway improvements there is some valuable information in the evidence given before the Parliamentary Committees on Commercial Distress and the Bank Charter Act. Mr. Robert Gardiner, a Manchester merchant, is asked by the Chairman of the Commons' Committee:— " Have there been considerable losses in consequence of the speculation in railways ?—lmmense losses. I know a gentleman, formerly connected with Manchester, who stated that he paid 100,000/. last year in railway calls, and that he found that his property now invested in railways was worth 30,0001. less at the price of the day than it was last year ; that after having paid that 100,0001., on looking at the railway lists which give the current prices of the day, he found that his shares were worth 30,0001. less than they were last year, although he had in the mean time paid 100,0001. It was self-evident that the consequences relative to railways must be very disastrous and very ruinous." This is the natural reaction upon gambling and in flated prices, but of course proves nothing against the railway system per se. Mr. Gurney, the celebrated discount broker is asked— " Do you attribute much to the effect of the railways?— I cannot trace it to railways. I have been asked several times whether I thought they affected the money mar ket while they were in progress. I was under the necessity of giving an answer that I could not tell ; but still my reason would say that so far as the commercial capital of the country (I do not mean the mere floating money) has been withdrawn from commercial and trading purposes into railways, it must have had an injurious effect upon trade; on the other hand, it was rather a time of excitement in trade; there was no facility wanted; and therefore, though my reason and my judgment tells me that it must have had such an effect as that alluded to, my experience has not shown it to me." -- 5% Do.Guarant.s per ct.., 9 84..... ........
