Mr. A.

Ile heartily concurred in their important recommenda tions, and would Moldy move that " The meeting, having heard the explanations of the directors in regard to the present position and prospects of the company, cordially approve of the general line of policy which the directors propose to adopt."—(Cheers,) Mr. LOGIE cordially seconded the motion. The matter was of the highest importance to the Glasgow and South-Western Company, and the construction of the line between Gretna and Ripon could not fail materially to promote their interests. They should all feel heartily obliged to the directors for calling them together on such an important occasion. The motion was unanimously carried. A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. swering the expectations of the steamboat company or paying the working expenses.

Desirous of aiding the stupendous emigration movement to the Australian colonies, and of assisting those who do not come within the description of persons selected by the Emigration Commissioners, as also of presenting to the benevolently disposed an obvious means of helping their dependents or others to a free passage to a country which is inviting the unemployed labour of all the world to its im mense and gold-teeming regions, thi- Society has adopted a plan altogether unexceptionable in principle and truly philanthropic in its obj_.,etfts, namely, the app Watteau of a portion of its subscribed espitefTetthe in - creasing of 'die supply of labour in the Australian colonies, by the transmission of a large number of emigrants, while the other portion is invested in a richly auriferous mining property, and the necessary machinery and labour for working il. To carry out the former of (hese objects, A WEEKLY PUBLIC BALLOT will take place in London and other principal towns of the United Kingdom, until there shall have been selected 4,000 FREE PASSAGES TO AUSTRALIA; the Certificate for the original Share of 11. is. being exchanged, im mediately after the Ballot, for an Order for the passage in a first class vessel. The whole of the Shares subscribed for will, from time to time, be publicly put into the ballot-box, and the Ballot will take place under the immediate supervision and direction of the Trustees, due publicity being previously given o* each Ballot in the public news papers. Owners of Free Passage Orders will also be at liberty to sell or transfer them to any other person ; but the name and address of the party to whom they may have been transferred, must be for warded for approval to the Company's Offices:five days prior to the departure of the vtssel in which the intending emigrant may be de sirous of taking his or her passage. Two Children under twelve years of age will be equal to one adult. A list of Vessels about to sail will be ready for distribution pre vious to each Ballot. Those who do not draw a Free Passage Order at the Ballot will retain their original Share or Shares in the Mining property and adventnres of the Society without further liability. 4,000 SHAREHOLDERS WILL HAVE A BONUS OF 80,0001. DIVIDED AMONGST THEM, in payment of their Passages in first-class Ships, to a Colony where labour is greatly in demand, and obtains ahigh rate of remuneration. THE HUNTER RIVER GOLD MINING Grtou FORMING PART OF TILE SEGENHOE ESTATE, Is situated 150 miles north of Sydney, near Maitland, New south Wales, a mineral lease of which property, consisting of 2,000 acres, has been secured by the Trustees of this Fund. This estate was granted by the Crown, and has been in possession of the original proprietors for thirty years, and is pronounced by Judge Cracroft, an eminent geologist, to be a mass of mineral wealth, which subsequent investigations have entirely confirmed. The lease is for twenty-one years, with power of renewal for a similar period ; and the titles, maps, and other documents may be inspected at the Company's Offices. The following passage occurs in a pamphlet on " Australia and her Treasures," published by Effingham Wilson, the materials Of which were supplied by Captain Westmacott, M.R.G.S. and F.G.S., whose intimate knowledge of the country and its resources is universally appreciated :—" The quartz found under Mount Royal, and the flanks that run into the Segenhoe estate (now the property of this Society) are all of a crystallized compact transition strata. This may he considered the commencement of the gold country, as the detritus of these rocks forms the auriferous alluvial deposits of the lower stratum. Immense districts lie be tween these ravines, entirely destitute of water, * and in the beds and branches of all is gold deposited, which has been continuously washed down from the mountains and rocks for centuries, and in the overflowing distributing itself in the land and soil in all direc tions. It is not, however, in gold alone that the inexhaustible trea sures consist—rubies , garnets, and topazes, have already rewarded the labours of the miner, and that the diamond will be added in peat numbers to the golden garner, is expressed with confidence by some of the most scientific persons." This Company has also entered into a Contract for the purchase of a Patent Invention, applicable to the reduotion of quarts and other minerals, and the extraction therefrom of every particle of metal contained in them, effecting a saving of at least 50 per cent. over every other process now in use. This extraordinary discovery will bring about a new era in the extraction of gold from quartz, inasmuch as will render unnecessary what has hitherto been the greatest drawback to the success of other companies, viz., an enor mous outlay of capital for expensive machinery, and officers and men to work the same, as also great delay in putting it into operation ; whereas, the apparatus now about to be introduced, does not cost more than 250/. each, having the advantages of being small, compact, easily transferable to its destination, and being ready for immediate use, and each apparatus being capable of reducing and extracting the gold from the enormous qtkintity of sixty tons of quartz per day. All apelications for Shares must be addressed to the Trustees at the Offices, and must be accompanied by a remittance of One Pound One Shilling by Post-office Order, payable to the Right Honourable Lord Erskine, on receipt of which the necessary Shares will be duly transmitted to the Subscribers. 35, Throgmorton-street, London, 3d September, 1852. N.B.—Tie First Public Ballot will take place in London, on Thursday, the 23d of September instant; the time and place to be named by Advertisement in the public Newspapers. 4 The Gold-extracting Apparatus intended to be used by this Company does not require water.

Yesterday,. about half-past twelve o'clock, as three oxen, belonging to Mr. Price, butcher, of Clare Market, were being driven from Smithfield to be slaue,htered in Boar-yard, Lincoln's Inn-fields, one of the m b ecame ver y in its way. I n thi s manner restive, and when in Sheffield-street, in w hi c h th e slaughter-houses are situated, it started off at a furious irta turnedte, butting o at c l are uke everythingart, which place, fo r t una t e l y , a t the above hour, was not so crowded as usual. Here it made several attempts to t o ss the p erson s it came near, but not succeeding, ve nted its fury on every arti c l e ex hibited for sale in the streets. II then proceeded lei surely into Clement's Inn•passage, where in the first instance it seriously gored two children named Atkinson, residing at 46, Clement'Aane, one of whom was only aged seven years, the other, its brother, five months; it then passed on, and in the same passage attacked a girl named Phillips, aged nine years, whose nose it broke, and inflicted other serious injuries on different parts of her body. From this point it proceeded dowdy, spreading great terror, until it reached the northern entrance to Clement's-inn, which is protected by two upright bars to prevent the ingress of loads, Bec.; having inserted its head between the bars it forced its body through, completely bending ono of the bars, and passed through the first and second squares of the inn without meeting any obstruc tion. In the third square, or the first from the principal entrance, it encountered an aged laundress, named Smith, whom it run at and tossed. On being lifted up the unfortunate woman was found to have some dreadful in juries on the forehead, and she was at once rumoved to litng's College Hospital. From Clement's-inn the infu riated beast proceeded into the Strand, through Temple bar, Fleet-street, and Ludgate-hill, with a very quiet de meanour. In St. Paul's Churchyard it overturned an empty truck, and made several attempts on those pass ing. Turning into Aldersgate-street an attempt was made to stop its progress by some Irish paviours re pairing the street in that locality, but it put on a bold front and with great coolness advanced to the charge, making its valiant opponents seek refuge behind th e piles of stones at which they were labouring. Having tossed a lad a little further on without seriously injurin g him, the enraged animal was eventually Secured in Charter-house-square, and having been placed in a beast-cart was conveyed to Bear-yard, where it was at once killed. On inquiry at King's College Hospital, it was ascertained that the two youngest children were but slightly injured, but that the injuries on the face and head of the girl Phillips were of so very serious a de scription as to warrant her being kept in the institution. The wound on the head of the old woman was of a dressed frighhtful kind, the scalp be in g laid bare for se veral inches from the top of the bead t o the e y ebrows, and her system had been so complet el y shook that, from her great age, nearly 70 years , it is fear edbeen she will not re havinresidenceg , she in persisted Milford. lane. re cover; e to her lane.

A meeting of a few of the most influential of the shareholders in this company was held at Glasgow on Tuesday, Mr. Andrew Orr in the chair:- The CHAIRM ati said, the directors had thought it proper, in the present position of the affairs of the company, to ask a few of the most influential of the shareholders to meet th?in for the purpose of consider ing certain matters which peculiarly a ffsct, their in terest. The present direction came into office when their line was incomplete, and it was the wish of she shareholders that exertions should be made for the purpose of continuing the formation of their line on ward to the south. This effected, it became neces sary to make f u rth e r arrangements for the securing of the southern trait s. First, they had to deal with the Caledonian Company, with th e view of obtaining the use of nine miles of their line between Gretna and Carlisle. This was accomplished with considerable difficulty, because immediately upon effecting a Pas sage along this portion of their way, they became a rival line to the Caledonian Company. After many negotiations, however, th e y succeeded in overcom i ng the most determined h os tili ty of that co mpany. After this they had to apply to the Lancaster and Carlisle Company for admis s i on to their station, where it was necessary to have acc ommodation for the goods and engines, and the other machinery of the com pany. Tne other company with which they had to deal was the London and North-W estern, and b y that company, as well as the L ancaster and Carl i s l e, they were spoken to civilly ; this appli es p ar ti c ularly to the London and North-West ern C ompany. T he arrangements have now been of t wo years ' stan di ng, and notwithstanding the larr quantity of goods sending which they had beennding orward to the English lines, the fact of the matter was they had been get ting nothing down from them in return. When or ders have been sent specially asking goods to come by the line, undoubtedly they have not come by any other, but beyond this all the fair promises which they received have resulted in empty words. All those companies were connected with each other to a certain extent, and it is only fair that this company should seek to exercise what power it might possess to get away from a connexion in which it has hitherto received anything but fair play. The first matter which presents itself is the Caledonian, and the Edin burgh and Glasgow Company going to Parliament for the purpose of effecting an am algamation. Now, this accomplished, the Caledonian Company, strong at present, will have become greatly more so, and it is the opinion of the directors th a t they should oppose the amalgamation of those companies till the Caledonian Company concede to them something like fair play over the nine miles to which he had re ferred. Last year they were approached by an Eng lish company, who asked them to join them in a scheme to connect themselves with the Great Northern system, which comes down as far as Ripon, and to join them in the formation of a line th ence to Gretna, by the way of Corby. By this route they would have afforded, by means of the projected line, to be called the Great Northern and Scottish Irish Union, and their own, direct communication from London to Glasgow. The directors are unanimous in the opi nion that it would be wrong any longer to lie under those difficulties. The directors had made up their minds to give every encouragement to the promoters of the proposed line. It was estimated that the ex pense for thus effecting a direct c ommunication be tween Glasgow and London would amount to 1,500,000/., and they propose that this company should take stock to the amount of 20 0,0001. Some were of opinion that it would be better for the com pany to make the line from Gretna to Corby, by which means they would not only have a direct com munication, but the control of that portion of the way the same as the Caledonian have of that part of the line from Gretna to Carlisle. A SHAREHOLDER—How many miles of railway require to be formed between Corby and Gretna? The CHAIRMAN—About twelve mil es . Mr. WEBB said that at present there was only one main line of railway between London and Glasgow, and the effect of which was that the line in Scotland with which the London and Northern was in alli ance, takes, in truth, the great mass of the Glasgow traffic to the prejudice of the Glasgow and South- Western Company. Taking a straight line from Leeds to Lancaster, they had three direct lines—the London and North-Western. the Great Northern, and the Midland to Leeds. Now, if Yorkshire was entitled to three distinct lines, surely the important city of Glasgow was entitled to more than one. When the Great Northern was proposed there was also another line before Parliament—the Northern Counties Union; for it was not intended that the Great Northern should be merely a line from London to York, but an independent line in connexion with the Northern Counties from L on d on to Glat'g° w • Far lian3ent looked upon the Northern Counties scheme as one for connecting through Yorkshire the other lines to Carlisle, and with that line they would have had a complete and independe n t communication,be sides that of the London and North-Western, between Glasgow and London. Great alliances have been frequently found powerf u l f or t h e a dvancement of the interests of a company, b ut t h ey have been also brought into play for the p urpose o f d am aging such interests, and this was th e case w i t h the Northern Counties. That scheme wa s b eset by friends, and, with the view of befriendi ng i t, t h e London and North-Western Company took 3,000 shares, but, by their interference in a c omm i ttee i n th e House Commons, however well i ntended, a c l aus ewas in troduced which in effect swamped the Bill altogether , Bill, o When the directors sou g ht to have an ame nded the London and North-Western Coropaoh by their till agents in Parliament, fought, time after time,•or they ultimately succeeded in annihilating the them Counties as a compeny. Now, the Northern Counties does not represent a small number of share holders. There are a very large number in England, some in many in London, some in Edinburgh, and fee l - Glasgow, and from the knowledge he had of thetisfied ings of the shareholders generally, be was satisfied they were extremely desi rous st ill to carryout this through line. The p owers o f th e Act of Par liament under which th e N orthern Counties ex i st expiring in the month of J u l y last, 4 Bs had b a t the en suggested by influential p a rties t° out the shareholders ought to seek still to carry _ ... es object for which the Northern Counties Com PuY w t :' y originally formed, as regards the through line, n other ine means of a new company.

A meeting was held at Normanton on Saturday to consider the desirability of establishing a direct line between Bradford, Wakefield, and the metropolis. The promoters of this line contemplate a considerable saving in distance between the West Riding of York shire and London. There were gentlemen present from the three principal towns intended to be bene fited by the proposed scheme—viz., Bradford, Leeds, and Wakefield. Letters had also been received by the solicitors to the line from noblemen possessing ex tensive property in the district through which the line is intended to run, expressing their concurrence in the scheme, and their intention of supporting it. Mr. R. Hudson was called to the chair. Mr. HUDSON said he did not know much about the proposed line himsel f, and be a pp rehended there were other gentlemen present who were in the same posi tion. He w ould, therefore, tall upon some gentle man to ex plain to the meeting the benefits, the pro b a ble cost, and the line of country through which the railway would run. M r . WESTMORELAND, of Wakefield, one of the solicitors to the undertaking, said, before reading the report of the engineer be would state this much as a first principle. It was fully agreed on all hands that it was absolutely necessary that Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds should be put into as direct communication with the , metropolis, through the Great Northern Railway, as practicable. Perhaps he might be suspect e d o f having a strong feeling on be half of Wakefie ld, of whic h town he was an in habitant, which was perfectly put out of the direct route to London and the greatly populated towns in the neighbourhood. With regard to the Midland line, Oakenshaw was the nearest point for Wakefield people ; and his hearers could well understand the innumerable objections that might be advanced against a railway which necessitated a d e arcs at Oakenshaw both of luggage and passengers, and again at Wakefield. By the Great Northern route they had to seek the aid of the Lancashire and Yorkshire line and their Askern branch before they could get on the main line. To remedy these defects, it being highly desirable there should be a continuous and direct communication between Wakefield, Bradford, and the metropolis, the present line had been projected. This object would be attained by a junction, close upon Doncaster, with the Great Northern Railway, and by continuing the line from Wakefield forwards to Bradford, with a branch to Leeds. He might add that Mr. J. Walker, their engin eer, h ad on two oc casions been the engineer to the Great Northern Railway. The plans he submitted on the present occasion were identical with those that the Great Northern Company had laid before the Committee of the House of Commons, save and except the various emendations and improvements which time and expe rience had pointed out, or which had been adopted to meet the changed features of the case. He held in his hand the report of the engineer on the project connected with the three towns. Mr. Westmorland then read the report of the engineer, from which it appeared that the distance between Bradford and onlyl on g , 12 w miles e s t the di di u r r e l c o t n d g i s s , t a n n e c i e n , g as on th ly e ow es, g i s s Wakefield by this new line would be 13 miles 1 fur f akefi e Doncasterl do would th e j junction tio n 18 miles withth 6i e u G rlo re n a g t s, N t o h r o thernttt direct longer than the straight line.

The report concluded by call ing attention to the extensive coal fields which would be thus opened to the London and other markets. Mr. Westmorland continued his explanation by giving the routes the proposed lines would take ; stating that the project had been registered in June, since which time a piracy had been made of their scheme ; for this, however, he said, he did not care, as the superior ad vantages offered by the present line would sufficiently recommend it when once placed before the public ; and concluded by calling upon Mr. Walker to ex hibit the plans. The plans and sections of the undertaking were then shown, and various portions of them commented upon. This occupied some time. Afterwards the fol lowing resolution was unanimously agreed to:— " That this meeting having considered the plans of the Bradford, Wakefield, Doncaster, and Great Northern Direct Railway, with branch to Leeds, aro convinced that the project submitted is better calculated than any other yet laid before the public, to secure a direct com munication between Bradford, Leeds, Wakefield, and the metropolis, while at the same time it more fully de. velopes the most extensive coal fields of the West Riding. A vote of thanks to the Chairman was then awarded, and the proceedings terminated. • SOUTH WALES.—Several days have been given out for the further opening of this line from Swansea to Carmarthen. At first the 30th instant was announced as the day, but that was subsequently altered to the 14th. We, however, are in a position to state that the opening will take place on Thursday week , th e 16th instant. The distance is about thirty miles, which will make about 130 miles of railway opened by this company, and the preparations for the event are on a large scale. At a special meeting o f th e Car marthen Town Council, held to consid er w h a t s t eps should somuch buechtali i mportancee taken to celebratetheth district, the Mayore event, which will b e (Mr. W.

SOUTH.VESTERN RAIL WAY STEAMBOATS.—The ten • ' minutes at this com pany'ssteamboats that touch every. Surrey aide have been suddenly pier on the . disccetinued and the pier closed, the service n o t an- Three commanders, four lieutenants, and ten mates have boon pr irnozed respectively to the rank of captain, cotnui,inder, and lieutenant. E :ward Southwell Sotheby (1841) is the first on the list promoted to the rank of captaie, and we are qu i te sure tew will grumble at the selection, the gallant officer having served in two shins as commander—namely, the Racehorse, 18, at New Zealand. and latterly a term on the coast of Africa, in command of dad Sealark, 8. He entered the navy in August, 1826, passed his examina tion in 1832, and was promoted to the rank of lieute nant in 1835. As a lieuteeant he served in the Cale donia, 120, as senior of the Dido, 18, and in the Mada gascar, 44. George S umner Hand (1841) is the next cap t a i n pro moted. He is an older officer than Captain Sotheby, and has also commanded two ships. He entered th e navy in 1821, and bore a part in the h os tilities in Ave, where in 1825, h o commanded a boat at the capture of the formidable fortress of Donooben, and the Alligator's two cutters at the taking of Melloone. He passed his examination in 1827, and was promoted - in 1829. As a lieutenant he servant in the Shannon, 46, Grasshopper, 18; senior of Rarehorse, 18 , and Vestal, 26. As a com mander he served in the Espoir, 8, on the coast of Africa, and with an indifferent crew (the consequence of which were a very heavy quarterly return of punishments) he captured a great many slavers. He had been promoted from the command of the Geyser 6, steam-sloop, now at Devonport. Michael De Conroy (1842) is the third new captain and his promotion to th a t ran k w ill stamp the Duke of Northumberland's administr a ti on w i t h an stamp impressionuanof immeasurable appreciation ; for the nobl e ad g duke has repaired a neglct which his predecessors t ought to be ashamed of. We have peculiar pride and pleasure in announcing this officer's promotion, for we claim the credit of bringing his name before the Admi ralty on several occasions, with advantage to himself and credit to the service, although we have not the honour of his acquaintance. This gallant officer has been very much neglected, and we must impute to O'Byrne's excellent biography the almost unpardonable fault of slurring over one of the most daring, dashing, and desperate achievements by Lieutenant De Courcy, that has been performed since the peace; and which in the height of the war would have secured for him an earlier, if not a higher reward than he has reaped from modern Admiralty hoards, who daily seek ex cuses for the advaucement of their friends and rela tions. Captain Michael De Courcy is the eldest son of the late Captain De Courcy, RN., K.T.S., grandson of the late Admiral of the Blue the Honour able Michael De Courcy, and cousin of the present Lord Kinsale. He entered the navy in 1824, passed his ex amination in 1830, and served eight years as mate, be fore he gained his Lieutenant's rank. He then served in the Racer, and on the 4th of March, 1841, was ap pointed to the command of the Charybdis, 3, brigantine, on the West India station; from which ship, says O'Byrne, " he was promoted to his present rank for his extraordinary gallantry at the capture of the Cartha genian squadron when protecting the British interests in South America." When we read the almost tedious de- tails which are appendedto certain officers' acts of gal lantry (Sir C. Napier's, for instance), given with all the exciting particulars of the odds on the part of the enemy, and the number& of killed and wounded on both sides, we feel annoyed at the manner in which Captain De Courcy's vindication of the honour of the British flag is sum marised; and, in justice to those who have promoted him, we must briefly state the facts from memory. The " Carthagenian squadron" was composed of six armed vessels, under the command of a Commodore Brown, we believe, each being equal in force to the Charybdis. The British man-of-war was detached to protect British interests during the internecine squabbles among the republics, and was entering the port of Cartbagena where Commodore Brown's squadron was at anchor, when the commodore opened a fire upon the Cha rybdis, and, if we remember rightly, killed one of her crew. Upon this the gallant lieutenant-commander, notwithstanding the powerful odds that were against him, immediately best to quarters, and fell to work pell-mell on the whole squadron, nor did he cease firing until he sunk the commodore's own ship, the commo dore himself beitig amunv tho killed, and the rest of the enemy had struck their il,gs. Do Courcy then landed and look possession of the town or city, end received ample atonement for the indignity the British fig had received. It is true the gallant commander of sixty officers, men, and b.rys was promoted by Lord Had dingtou immediately ; but he was allowed to kick about "marbie halls" for a couple of Sears, and then to fall back upon the coast guard-service for tour yrars when th e Ea r l of Auckland rescued this gallant office; from obscurity., and appointed him to the command of the Helena, 12, which ship he paid off a few months since from tt.o West Indies, in a manner most creditable to him-elf and all on board, for she was reported as the most efficient, the most healthy, and the most comforta ble ship from the station. The just and graceful thing would have been to have promoted Captain do Courcy when he had strvLd his twelvemonth; but it was re served fur the Duke of Northumberland to recognise the great claims of his brother officer, and to place him in that rank which he earned in 1842.—Herald. The lieutenants promoted to the rank of commander are now first lieutenant of Octavius Cumberland (1841), the Arethuss, 50. He entered the navy in 1825, passed his examination in 1832, served nine years as mate and as lieutenant in the Aladagascar, 44; Queen, 116; and first of the Brilliant, 19, at the Cape. Henry Trollops (1841), who entered the navy in 1828, passed his examination in 1834, was promoted in 1841, Isis, and during the our served in the Alfred, 50 ; veying voyage in thq Pacific, as second of the Herald. Joseph G. Bickford (1841), who entered the navy in 1828, passed his examination in 1834, and served seven years as a mate. As a lieutenant he served in the Rodney, 92, Lis, 26, Retribution, steam-frigate, Ven geance, 84, and is now senior of the Cumberland, 70, flag ship, in the West Indies and North America. w ho entered the navy in 1833, Robert Hall (1843), paled his examination in 1839, served four years as mate, and as a lieutenant in the Camperdown, 104, Queen, 116, Trafalgar, 120, Grampus, 50, and last week pAid off the Hound, 8, from the coast of Africa, which ship he commanded for two years.

If the contractors would bestir themselves, and plete the fittings of the machinery of the Sans Pared, el, screw ship, at Devonport, Captain Dacres would aeon have her ready for sea. She has been in commis sion ever si,,ce the Bth of June, and only wants about 50 blue jackets to fill up her complement of 700 officers and men. The screw line-of battle ship Agamemnon, 90, fitting ~ at Woolwich, will be completed by the engin e ,, on the 24th and the shipwrights on the 25th inat.

The Highflyer has been taken out of the angle dock, and is fitting in the basin. A spare propeller has been ordered for her ; the dockyard will complete her by the 16th, the engi neers by the 22d, and she will be ready for sea by the let of October. The Admiralty have ordered the complements of the screw-sloops Niger, 14, Commander Heath, at Ports mouth, and the Wasp, 14, Commander Lord John Hay, at Woolwich, to be increased to 170. The former will be ready for sea by the first week in October; the latter will be out of the hands of the dockyard by the 23d inst. DETONPORT SAILORS' Hour.—Charles Dixon, of Stansted Park, has forwarded through the Port Admiral, Sir J. A. Ommsnney, K C.B , the munificent donation of 50/. to the tends of this institution. MANNING THE NAVY.—We underet,nd that the able and experienced officer, Commodore Supurintendent Seymour, of Dsvonport Dockyard, has had before him riuritg the past week several of the most efficient of the extra-riggers employed in the dockyard, and has put to a series of questions in the presen ce o f t h e them maste s r iny a g tt l endant or his assistant. The men were com pletely astonished at it. not knowing the drift of the catechising, but no doubt the report will tend to assist the committee now sitting at the Admiralty, in coming to their conclusions on the various topics now under their consideration. Electra, 19, Commander Morris, has been removed to alongside her hulk at Portsmouth. She has com menced rigging; will be completed by the dockyard on the 10th. She has more than half her ship's company on her books. Frolic, 16, has been taken into dock No. 7 at Ports mouth, to be examined and brought forward. Geyser, 6, steam-sloop, is ready at Devonport to sail for the West Indies, to relieve the Rosamond, 6, steam sloop, ordered home.

The reaping o f the harvest is fast drawing to a close, even in the most remote and backward districts. The yield of the cereal and green crops generally is said to be every where beycnd an average, and there no longer seems to be any doubt that the loss by the potatoe blight will not exceed that of last year. The weather con tinues changeable, but, upon the whole, not more un seasonable than might be expected. On Saturday Dublin was again visited by a terrible storm of thunder and lightning, accompanied by torrents of rein, which, happily, was but of short duration, and appears to have been confined to the city and the im mediately adjacent suburbs. Persons residing five miles from the metropolis heard nothing of the storm. DECREASE OF PAUPERISM. The cheering prospect of a harvest of more than ordinary abundance is already producing salutary effects, by the thinning of the workhouses, even in those unions whi c h h ad suffered most during the last five years of scarcity. It appears from toe Kern n papers that n ear l y 2 00 paupers were lately discharge from the Tr a l ee wor k houses, while the n umber of ci admissions on last bard day amounted only to 40.

It appears that Mr. Ryan had been yesterday serv i ng e j ectments on some tenants on his prop erty near Newcastle, with whom he bas been to? some time in litigation, and, re turning to his residence in this town, on horseback, he was fired at when passing wounded in the abdomen.
