119 MONEY and COMMERCIAL A S CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. In the Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday, thi sates were 4,000 bales. The market was quiet, but firm. Prices being without alteration. Railway Shams wen flat and lower, with very little doing. A firm connected i with the Mediterranean trade is stated to be in difficulties. The journal of the Duchy of Limburg, under date of Maastricht, July 29, announces that the Dutch Govern meat will resist by force any attempt of the German rarliament to carry out its resolution of annexing the duchy. M. Lightenvelt was already adopting military Precautions. The stock market at Amiterthm was affected in consequence, and at Hamburgh, Berlin and other places, business was very dull in public securities and shares, the state of affairs in Italy and Denmari, occasioning some apprehension. The Prussian Government has issued an official notice to the effect, that as hostilities may now be con sidered as having recommenced with Denmark, and the late armistice as at an end, the cruisers or the latter power may be expected immediately to resume captures, and consequently it will be adviseable for all Prussian ships to remain in port, or to protect themselves against what the official notice terms " this de plorable change in circumstances." The commerce of Germany must suffer incredibly by the resumption of the war, but if the united strength of the Confederation is brought against Denmark, according to the tecommen• dation of the Diet, the latter power must succumb, unless actively supported, as no doubt it will be, by Russia and Sweden. The position of the French towards Italy is also exciting uneasiness, and further accounts from Verona are anxiously looked for. Sxvxnzi VALLEY RAILWAY.—We find that this pro ject, although delayed, is not abandoned, the promoters having now put themselves in a position to proceed with it as soon as the proper time shall arrive; the connexion which the proposed line will give is an important one, and the districts to be accommodated by it much in want of a railway. We observe that the undertaking has the support of all the interests affected by it. The Funds have been flatter to-day, and Money Stock is lower than are Consols for account, the former having been 86! to i, and the latter 864 to i. The news of Charles Albert having defeated the Austrians has now made the market firmer at 86i ~ but there is evidently a mistrust as to the stability of prices in the absence of purchases by the public. Exchequer-bills have been 31s. to 345. premium. Bank Stock is at 198. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 87i to 86 1, and the Three per Cents. 864 to -. In the Foreign Market there is very little doing. Mexican Bonds being more buoyant, however, at 17i to it. Grenada are at 12, and Peruvian at 30. Brazilian Small have been 71i • Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 42 to 3 1 an d th e Four per Cents. 69i. Shares are rather firm, and there is not mach doing beyond the settlement of the account.

PORT OF LONDON IMPROVEMENTS. ---During the past month extensive preparations have been making for building another steam-packet wharf at St. Katherine's, next the Tower, on the site of the Old Irongate- Wharfs, which, it may be remembered, were burnt down about eighteen months since. The new wharf, when com pleted, will be upwards of 300 feet in length, and there will be sufficient water alongside to enable steamers of very large dimensions to land their cargoes and passen gers at all times of the tide. Capacious warehouses, offices, and waiting-rooms are in progress of erection; to extend along the whole lino of the quay. THE LATH FIRE.—On Saturday an inquest was held at the Anchor and Hope, Shadwell, on the bodies of John Percy and James Young Handcock, two fire men, who lost their lives at the late fire. Several wit nesses were examined, and the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death," adding that there was no evi dence to show how the fire originated. MURDER OF A CHlLD.—Aswrox, SATURDAT.—A very shocking case of child murder has lately been per petrated in this town, and has created considerable sen sation. The unfortunate victim was the illegitimate male child of Jane M'Lane, an abandoned creature, appa rently, who for some time past had been cohabiting with a man of the name of Johnson, in some low lodging house in the vicinity of the town. The coroneetinquiry closed last Friday night, and it appeared that The dead body of the child, which was about nine months old, was discovered in the soil of a closet attached to the Old Cross Inn, and it seemed from the evidence that it had been thrown there. The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against the mother, and the magistrates sitting in petty sessions also committed Johnson for trial, for aiding and abetting in the crime. EFFECTS OF FRIGHT IN PARIS.—It is well known that a large number of children born after the first French Revolution, in 1798, became insane; and it seems probable that another illustration of visiting the sins of the parents upon the children will follow the late dis turbances. Many cases of mental derangement have al ready occurred in the Faubourg du Temple and Menil montant, where the fighting, during the late insurrection, was terrific. As early as the 27th of June, two women, residing in the Corbeau, became deranged; and one who inhabits the Rue Menilmontant, was on the 10th of July conveyed to an asylum. These poor creatures are con stantly heard to utter cries of fear and dread, they call for assistance and beg they may not be killed. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEW PORT RAC ES. —THunspmc.

The struggle's o'er, the race is run, And some have lost, and some have won, For, without risk of loss, 'tis plain There never can be any gain. • • • But still I trust, my friends, that you Are number'd amongst Fortune's crew. And that by backing up my letter You have by Betting been made better. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—There never was a week more admirably cal culated to baffle the wisest computations of the most " clear brain'd seers" than that which has just closed upon the meeting at Goodwood. The immense quantity of rain which fell during', and immediately previous to the races, having ren dered the course not merely ordinarily heavy, but really in a state of absolute mortar, so that for any thing in the form of a race-horse to gal lop over it, was almost a matter of perfect impossi bility, and therefore the result of several of the contests cannot be taken as a fair and safe criterion of the rela- tive merits of the contending animals. This remark applies more particularly to the juvenile competitors for two-year old honours ; many of whom, although de feated, will live to snatch the wreath from off their vic tor's brows at the forthcoming reunion at Doncaster. But although the weather has been greatly opposed to us gentlemen who deal in " mystical lore," yet for my own part I have nothing to complain of,—fortune, I be lieve, has dealt more kindly with me, than she has done with any of my brother prophets, towards some of whom she has acted really most cruelly, having given them of a truth " scarcely ought but frowns." For the benefit of those who may not have seen my prophecy, in your columns of Monday last, or who hay • ing seen it may not have retained it in their memory. I shall here repeat it, placing the prediction and the result of each race in juxtaposition, so that they may have a fair opportunity of praising it or condemning it, as they may feel inclined.

By this it will be perceived that I was right in the Levant Stakes, the 300 Sovs., the Goodwood Stakes, the 50 Sovs. Sweepstakes, the Nassau, and the Rich mond Stakes, and last, though not least, the Chesterfield Cup and the Selling Stakes. Ia the Gratwicke Stakes I assigned to Surplice the second place, which he held at the finish ; and in the Ham and Molecomb Stakes my horses both came second ; and for the Racing Stakes Glendower, which I placed second, came first. As neither of my horses ran for the Cup, that race must be considered void, though I cannot but regret that Halo did not show, as I feel strongly persuaded that it would have been a very close tussle between himself and the Dutch Admiral, though , fro m the latter ' s easy victory otrioTmp,s colours. uesday,l should certainly have sailed under Van T I am, Sir, yours, &c., GEORGE WIZARD. ••• 1 ... 2 Canezou Loads tono BUNN S.

The next proceeding will be a writ of error on the part of the defendant, which cannot be argued in the Exche quer Chamber before Michaelmas Term in November. Mr. Justice Erie has lately been engaged in settling a bill of exceptions tendered on the trial, and by an order made, the damages, with 1,000/. for costs, have been paid into the Court of Queen's Bench. The costs in the cause have been taxed at nearly 700/., and the residue of the sum paid into Court is to meet the accruing ex• penses. The action was commenced in March, 1847, so that in all probability it will be about two years be, fore it will be finally decided.—John BURNING A RAILWAY BRIDGE.-011 Friday after noon the brid ge w hi c h carr i es t h e N ewcas tl e and Carlis le Railway over t h e Tyne, about four miles on t h e Carl isl e side of Hexham, was destroyed by fire.

The engines from the districts were but of trifling avail in checking the conflagration. The passage of the trains will necessarily be much impeded by this unfortunate event.

As there is yet only a provisional executive Government established, Lord Cowley cannot be said to be accredited as a Minister or Envoy, but be has received specific instructions upon which he will act as occasion may require, and he will watch British in terests, and report to his Government the important events which are expected to occupy the attention of the Diet. —Observer. ----- - SUICIDE IN THE PENITENTIARY. —An inquest w as held in the Milbank prison on Saturday, on th e b o d y of s Lewis Cocks, a convict , who hanged himself in his cell. The prisoner had been low - spirited, and had asked t o . have " Charley," another convict, to be allowed to work with him; he had also received a letter from his wife, which deeply affected him. The jury returned a ver di ct of " Temporary Insanity." A messenger arrived at Cambridge-house in the early part of last week from the Continent, with the gra tifying intelligence to the Duke and . Duchess of Cam bridge, that their eldest daughter (Princess Augusta), the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, was safely delivered of a son and heir on the 22d inst., immediately forwarded Strelitz. The gratifying intelligence w a s forwarded to the different members of the Royal family. The first infant of the Hereditary Grand Duchess was born at Cambridge-house, and lived but a short time. The young Prince is second cousin of the Prince of Wales and the younger branches of the Royal family.- - Observer. 221 4 1 4 3/4 - OA 1:6% 3 %a MONDAY EVENING, JULY 3l, 1848. IRELAND. i DUBLIN, SATURDAY ENENING.—We have a new j batch of re:6l,urs in the tow n to-day, some absurd and j improbable enough. One of them represents Mr. Smith (I'Brien at the head of 50,010 men in Tipperary, while Waterford, Limerick, and C)rk, are preparing to march for the head•quarters of "ti e Army of IndependenCe." As to Mr. Smith O'Brien hinself, it is we believe, quite certain, that he has mad e up his mind to resist the war rantthat determination or not rema i ns to b e seen . Th e Catholic clergy, to their cr e di t b e i t sa id , are a l mos t to a man opposed to violence ai d b loodshed, an d un l ess for his arrest. Wh e th er h e w ill b e su pp or t e d in stimulated, or at least countenanced, by the clergy, the people will be very reluctant to embroil themselves in a contest with the military. The following from a corre spondent et the Freeman, is :he latest authentic intelli gence of Mr. O'Brien's proceedings:— On Tuesday, at one o'clock, P.M., W. S. O'Brien, Esq.. M.P., accompanied by J. B. Dillon, Esq Esqs., with a ~ barrister-at law, P. Donoughoe, and C. 7, Cantwell, few other Dublin gentlem en, arrived at Mulli nahone, whence they proceeded to the residence of Benjamin Wright, E sq. Immediately a f ter their arrival a vast n um b er of men flocked from the surrounding parishes, amounting to at least five thousand persons, who assembled round the wall in frolit of Mr. Wright's residence. After the people had as sembled, Mr. O'Brien addressed them at great length; he was followed by J. B. Dillon, Esq., who was cheered several times. Loud calls were then made for Mr. Thomas Wright, who immediat e l y got upon t h e wa ll an d spoke for nearly an h our to V ie vast assembly, during which he advised the pa r ti es not to do any act that would not become men, and that he hoped things would pass off without violence, and that the Government would see the necessity of doing what would better the condition of the people. It being now five o'clock, the crowd sepa rated until seven, when they again assembled and re mained quietly in the t own until clear day in the morn ing. Mr. O'Brien ad v i se d t h eta to return to their homed,and that he would be g l a d t o address them on his depitf ture the following day. After breakfast they began to assemble again, and r e m a i ne d cheering until Mr. O ' Brien left at one o'clock, w h en all the party es corted him to Ballingarry and Slievierdah collieries. Owing to the in fluence of Mr. Wright's family, good order was pre served all through witho u t any person being in the least injured or insulted. - It is now said that the warrant for the arrest of Mr. O'Brien was sent by mistake to Limerick, and returned on Wednesday. By the mail of Wednesday night a new warrant was dispatched to Tipperary in charge of an inspector of the metropolitan police,•••• Mr. Eugene O'Reilly, a rather piominent leader of the Confederates, and against whom a warrant had been issued, surrendered himself to the magistrates, and has been committed to Kilmainham under the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act. Mr. O'Reilly took this step at the instance, or on the compulsion rather, of his father, a respectable solicitor, who accompanied his son to the police-cffice. The prisoner, who is an extremely prepossessing young man of education, with good expec tations, formed one of the Irish embassy to Paris, with the ultimate view • of entering the French army. Having, however, taken a few lessons ill military tat tics, he changed his mind, and returned to Ireland, whore he shortly afterwards became president of one of the clubs. MORE ARRESTS AND OUTLAWRIES. Several additional arrests of men charged with " trea sonable practices" were made to-day. A considerable number of th e l ea di ng c l u bbi sts an d wr i ters of treason have absconded. Th e f o ll ow i ng i s f rom the flue and Cly of this morning. L a l or , H a lpi n , a n d t wo others have been arrested sinc e thi s l Dublin Castle, July 28 , 1848.tion:— " Whereas the undernamed persons sand charged with having been conc e rn e d i n treasonable Practices and , have absconded,— • ..! " Michael Crean, late of the city of Dubli n; Thomas Matthew Halpin, of the same; Francis Morgan, of the same, attorney-at-l aw; Patrick James Smyth, of the same; John H. Drumme, of the same; James Cantwell, of the same; Thomas d'Arcy M'Gee, of the same; • Joseph Brennan, of the same; Thomas Devin Reilly, of the same; John Cantwell, of the same; Stephen J. Meany, of the same; Henry Shaw, of the same, printer; and James F. Lalor, late of Tinnikill, Queen's county. " Inspectors of .police, constables, and sub-constables are authorised to apprehend, and cause to be committed into safe custody, the before-named offenders, to be further dealt with according to law. " And inasmuch as they respectively stand charged with having committed felony, all persons are warned against incurring the penalties to which in such cases they will become liable under the provisions of an Act passed in the eleventh year of the reign of her present Majesty, cap. 2, intituled An Act for the better preven tion of Crime and Outrage in certain parts of Ireland,' by harbouring or sheltering them, or any of them." Thomas Matthew Halpin was secretary to the late " Irish Confederation ;" Francis Morgan is one of the attorneys to the Dublin (repeal) corporation; Pill Gee, a leading writer in the Nation, and one of the crack ora tors; Joseph Brennan, Devin Reilly, and Meaty, writers in the Felon; Shaw, printer thereof, and Lalor, the mo dern Murat, who quaintly observed the other day in a published letter of his, that before dealing with the present proprietors of the land in Ireland, the 4,0,000 armed men employed by the Queen to guard it should be killed. The Government cannot sot a very high valte on the lot, as they do not offer a pound reward for their appre hension. Now, this is not treating M‘Gee, for instance, fairly; for, as a writer, speaker, and organizer, he is, to use a familiar description, the " daddy" of the whole lot of patriots recently outlawed. Subjoined are particulars of the latest arrests. It will be observed that at six o'clock last evening the town of Nenagh did not exhibit the least excitement or sympa thy for Mr. Lalor, who was expected there In custody every hour. - (From the Nenagh Guardian of last night.) " ARREST OP DIR. JADIES g , LALOR. " Just as we were going to press, a strong force of the 34th, numbering about eighty, and twenty-four of the police, under the command of the Sub_inspector O'Dell , left town, for the purpose of escort i ng to our gao l Mr. James F. Lalor, who had b een arrested b y cons t a ble M'Cann and a party of police f rom I torrisoleig h, i n the house of Mr. Kennedy of B a ll a h ans. It appears Mr. Lalor had been sojourning i n t h e vicinity o f Temple derry, &c., for the last few d a y s , and that he h a d been addressing the people in th e most seditious an d revolu tionary languag e. He has been arrested under the re cent Act of Par liament. " Six o'clock P.M. " The police and military have not yet arrived with Mr. Lalor. The town is quiet; not the least excite ment prevails, nor manifestation of sympathy for Mr. Lalor. " Half-past Seven. " Mr, Lalor is on his way to Nenagh gaol, escorted by a strong guard, but up to the above hour has not ar rivod in town." It is clear that the Nenagh Guardian—a paper pub lished in the least loyal portion of Tipperary—has no fears for the future. Hear what it says this morning . "The Queen's troops and a half brigade of artillery would puzzle all the tailors, drapers' boys, shoemakers, nailors, and labourers, which the lanes and alleys could disgorge, or who might be aided by a force of all the labourers from the surrounding country. We have no fears therefore as to the peace and quietness of our dis trict being disturbed—nor do we think that any out break in any other county or locality will be attempted. Not but we think that if there were no forces opposed to the whole movement, its leaders and members would show an immense amount of heroism and bravery. The greatest bullies are always the greatest cowards—and in the case of the clubbists, they quietly and very judi ciously dissolved themselves, their threats, troasons, plots, and stratagems." TILE SEDITION CASES AT CORK. Yesterday the Clerk of the Crown announced that the county grand jury had found true bills against the fol lowing parties. The indictments were drawn upon long sheets of parchment, and seemed to . be very volumi nous:—Ralph Varian, Isaac Stephen Varian,. John Walter Bourke, Denis Philip Lyons, JObn O'Brien, and George Allman. The traversers having taken their places at the bar, Sir Cougar; O'LoGHLEN said he had , not seen the indictment, and was unprepared to go on with the case of the traversers. The COURT directed that copies of the indictments should be furnished to the traverser? counsel. The case was then postponed till twelve, o'clock to morrow, and the parties accused left the court. The Nation and Felon are suppressed. Neither w as published today. At a meeting of the county grand jury held on Thursday, the foreman read the annexed , correspond. ence , • "St. Vincent, Cove of Cork, July 2s; : , "My Lord,—ln reply to your Lordship's letter of yes terday, enclosing a copy of a resolution of the county of Cork grand jury, that . it would be highly desirable if one of her Majesty s steamers could proceed to Bantry B ay, for the purpose of affording protection to the p eacea bl e inhabitants in that part, I have the honour to acquaint your Lordship that I had received a similar requisition through Admiral Mackay, and that, in compliance with the same, I dispatched her Majesty's brig Pilot to Bantry Bay last evening. "I have the honour to b e, m y Lord, "Your obedient humble servant, 44c, NAPIER, Rear-Admiral," To the Right Hon. Viscount Bernard, 840., C o unty of Cork." " Crocodile, at Cork, July 27. "My Lord,—l have the honou r to acknow ledge ti e receiptof n y our o a t ii toe grandlette letter o jur fy y ea n t f er t d h a n y n 's an d n a t t enclosing a re solution y e, of Cork, an d i n consequence thereof, her Majesty's sloop Pilot was las t night dispatched to Bantry Bay and the neighbourhood, and the Blenheim (ship.of-the line) will shortly visit the west and south-west coast of this station, in order to give confidence to the loyal portion of her Majesty' s subjects. " I have the honour to be, my Lord, "Your most obedient servant, "DONALD H. MACKAY, Rear - Admiral. " Viscount Bernard, M.P., "Foreman of the Grand Jury, Cork." The grand jury vo t e d an address to Lord Clarendon, expressing their perfect confidence in and approbation , ot all the measures adopted by his Excellency to maintain the law and put down disturbance. Government were last night put in possession of in formation of the state of affairs in the south of so urgent a nature that not an hour was lost in taking steps t o prevent the possibility of a successful outbreak, ~ cordingly, thi s morning, almost break of day, two batteries of artillery, the 74th Highlanders, from Ship street Barracks, a company of the 60th Rifles, and a well. stored commissariat, were put in motion, and at 6 o'clock the whole of this auxiliary force was on its route to the disturbed districts. Major-General Macdonald, second in command to Prince George of Cambridge. has proceeded to take charge of the southern district. The 85th Light Infantry, now in Richinand Barracks, and two more companies of the Rifles, proceed to morrow as further reinforcements to the army in the south. A company of artillery, with field battery, landed here from England this morning. From 80 to 100 young men connected with the Dub lin clubs are prowling about town, seeking to make their escape to the disturbed districts with the desperate determination of taking their stand by their belea v uered leader, whose fortunes, they say, they will follow to the death. DRILLING AND TRAINING. Jeremiah Uodnett, Edward Cronegan, Richard Far rell, Daniel Downing, James Barton, Daniel Doherty, William Terry, and John Hartigan, were placed at the bar, charged with having, on the 16th April, at Youghal, unlawfully attended, and being present at, a meeting and assembly of persons, for the purpose of drilling and train ing themselves, and of practising military evolutions, and that they did drill and train others in the use of fire arms, against the peace. There were two additional counts varying the charge, and a fourth count for being present at an unlawful assembly. The prisoners pleaded not guilty, and traversed to the spring assizes, 1849. DUBLIN, SUNDAY, 6 A.M. It is satisfactory to learn that the accounts from the south of Ireland agree in reporting the country along the line of railway as perfectly quiet. After the arrival of the train, which arrived at 3 15 this morning, the report was spread that a party of the constabulary, about fifty in number, under the command of Mr. Trant, were surrounded on the common of Kil cooly, and had taken refuge in a slate house. Mr. Trant had sent an express for a reinforcement to relieve him. Another rumour stated that the chapel bells were ringing, and that crowds of people with scythes and every kind of weapon they could lay hold of were com ing into Urlingford, where it was said Mr. William Smith O'Brien had arrived, accompanied by a clever engineer. THE PROVINCES. Such of the southern provincial journals as arrived by this morning's mail contain little or no intelligence respecting the movements of the insurrectionary leaders. In Nenagh ample military preparations are being made to prevent any outbreak. The Guardian says:— " It is with feelings of pleasure we announce, that Government contemplate immediately erecting a large and commodious barrack in the town of Nenagh, the site for which has been purchased from Mr. T. T. Abbott, of Nenagh. It will be capable of accommodating 1,000 men, and there will be a wing attached for the recep tion of at least a squadron of cavalry. On Friday, the 28th instant, the tents for the formation of a camp were escorted into Nenagh from Bird-hill by a party of the 34th. On Saturday, the 29th, 300 men of the 59th Regiment, from Templemore, under com mand of Lieutenant-Colonel Trevor, will march in here. Soon after arriving in town they will pitch their tents in the field taken for the purpose, and in less than an hour from commencing operations the novel and impos ing sight of 300 troops beneath a military encampment will be witnessed for the first time, we believe, even in Nenagh. Lieutenant-Colonel Trevor will command the Nenagh garrison. On Sunday, the 30th, s troop of the Bth Royal Irish Hussars will march into this town from Fethard, and on Monday a troop of the Ist Dragoon Guards will arrive from Cahir, and occupy quarters here for some time." _ _ In Kilkenny the precautions are of a similar na. turel--- " On Thursday evening a company of the 89th Regi ment arrived in Kilkenny, as a reinforcement to this garrison, and a company of the 83d came in yesterday morning. 500 soldiers are quartered in camps erected along the great square of the infantry barracks. A troop of Light Dragoons en route from Newbridge to Carlow halted here for a couple of days, but marched forward on Thursday. The police-force has also been augmented, and a large number of the constabulary are located in a spacious house taken for their accommoda tion in Patrick-street." By the following accounts from the Carlow Sentinel, it will be seen that matters are proceeding satisfactorily in that district:--- MILITARY PREPARATIONS.—Four hundred rank and file of the 3d Buffs arrived by the mail train in Carlow at eleven o'clock on Thursday night, accompanied by a th n e d i , r a fLteireuhtaelntai halting fCoorloanfelew, minutes, e t s be D y e e n o ni nt s K.C.B in , nedtbeir , march during the night to join the other battalions of the same regiment, encamped near Carrick-on-Suir. The military were in fine spirits, and confidently, if not eagerly, anticipated a conflict. The Government are acting with spirit and promptitude. The "King of Munster" is so completely hemmed in he cannot escape, and he will soon be drawn from his hiding-place, if not shot at the head of his deluded followers. MOCK FIINERALS.—At an early hour on Tuesday morning last a hearse was seen driving rapidly through Clonmel, surrounded by about fourteen horsemen. The cortege was stopped outside the town by the police, and the hearse searched, when it was ascertained that, in stead of a dead body, the hearse contained a large quan tity of arms, which were being conveyed to the rural districts. FLPOYIT OF THE PIKE RETAILERS FROM CARLOW.— la our last publication we felt it to be our imperative duty, in the maintenance of public order, to call atten tion to the arrival of three adventurers from the metro polis, who, hunted out of Dublin by the " proclamation," fixed their head-quarters in Carlow, with the view of effecting the sale of an extensive stock of firearms and pikeheads, ready for active service. From the moment the depot opened, the constabulary kept up without in termission a strict surveillance over the premises, care fully recording the names of the purchasers. On the following day (Sunday) the venerable prelate, Dr. Haly, ascended the pulpit and denounced, not only the pike mart, but cautioned the people, as they valued the e p o e n a n c e t e n o e f n e t h e, e i country ry and p o s s b h l e e i r n o a w n n n e s r e , c u t r b i e t y, a d t v o e ndtis o- rers who dared to fix themselves in Carlow for the sale of firearms. On Monday the grand jury assem bled, and after the disposal of the fiscal business, they drew up an address to his • Excellency, calling on him to adopt immediate measures for the suppression of this nuisance in Carlow, as well as all revolutionary and political clubs. The cross fire from the venerable Bishop, the local authorities, and the press, was felt to be too hot for the pike commissaries, and they took to their heels on Tuesday evening en route to Enniscorthy apprehensive of being arrested, and gratified, we learn,' from their excited and terrified appearance, that they were not more roughly handled in Carlow. As the police are on their track, we have no doubt the pike retailers will be compelled to quit the country. Since the foregoing was written, we learn that the adventurers were desirona of making a stand in Tullow. Here, to the credit of the inhabitants, they manifested a determination to break the van, and throw the arms it contained into the river Slaney. The opposition was so vigorous, they fled from Tullow to Newtonbarry, and on Wednesday evening they were compelled to decamp to some other town, or, what is more likely, they crossed the Channel to Bris tol. Thus terminated the crusade of the rebel commis saries. LORD HARDINGE'S APPOINT- MENT TO IRELAND. Lieutenant -General Viscount Hardinge arrived at his residence in Great Stanhope -street yesterday afternoon, from Penhurst, Kent, where in the forenoon he took farewell of the Viscountess and family. This day the Noble and Gallant General leaves for Liverpool en route to Dublin, to take a command in the disposition of the troops. All the Gallant General's military bag gage arrived in Stanhope -street last evening. It is un derstood that Lord Hardinge does not proceed to Ire land to supersede either Lord Clarendon or the veteran Commander of the Forces, Sir Edward Blakeney, who has held such appointment since 183$, but to act as commander of any force that may be likely to come into engagement with the head-quarters of the insurgent army. Previous to his departure this day, the Noble and Gallant Officer will have a consultation with the Premier and the Commander-in-Chief. MANCHESTER., BUXTON, MATLOCK, AND MIDLAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.—On Saturday afternoon an extra ordinary general meeting of the proprietors of this rail way was held at the Derby station of the Midland Rail way, to give their approval or otherwise to a Bill now before the House of Lords, for making certain deviations in their line of railway. As the line has been so mate rially altered from what it was when the capital was subscribed for it in 1845, and as many of the share holders were anxious to get the scheme abandoned alto gether, there was a numerous meeting of the proprie tors. G. H. Cavendish, Esq., M.P., chairman of the company, in the chair. The chairman read the margi nal headings of the Bill, and moved that the Bill be ap proved of. Mr. Tootal seconded the motion. Mr. Taylor moved, as an amendment, " that the deviation Bill should not be adopted." Mr. Holland, a director of the Sheffield and Manchester Company, seconded the amendment, which, upon a division, was lost, and the original motion carried by a majority of 42 to 5. A vote of thanks was then given to the chairman, and the meeting separated. [ADVERTISEMENT. : —HoIIoway's Pills an excellent remedy for Indigestion, Bilious and Liver complaints.— All painful and distressing sensations arising from these complaints (which are too well known to sufferers to re quire a description here of their symptoms) may bo easily removed by few doses of this inestimable medi cine, for such is its efficacy that the most debilitated constitutions are effectually strengthened, and the aver sion to motion overcome, thus giving buoyancy to the spirits, creating an appetite, and promoting digestion, At this season when epidemics are so prevalent, these Pills should be taken as they surpass every other re medy as a. preventative of disorders, even of the most malignant kind. Sold by all druggists, and at Pro fessor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. On Saturday night an inquest was held at the Britannia, Southwark-bridge-road, on the body of Wil liam James Parnell, a sergeant in the police force, of the M. division. Some time since the. deceased was struck on the head , with a quadrant, which a fellow had in his hand at the time, inflicting a serious blow, which laid him up. Since then his mind had been affected, and yesterday morning ho was discovered hanging in a shed at the rear of his house, 19, Princes-street, London road. Verdict, " Temporary insanity."

Mr. COOPER, in opening this case, said—This is a cause in which Richard Bentley, the'publisher, is plain tiff', and George Vickers, defendant; and I am humbly instructed to move your Honour for an injunction to re strain the defendant from publishing and selling the numbers of the London Journal, and Weekly Reword of Literature, Science, and Art, for the weeks ending July 15th, July 22d, and August sth, 1848. Mr. Bentley's affidavit states, that towards the beginning of the present year, Si- kdward Bulwer Lytton composed a work aloe 1," Harold, the last of the Saxon Kings," and that :\lr. Bentley I.ad paid for the copyright a very large sum of money. That in the month of June Mr. Bentley pub lished the work. It also state sthat the defendant is the publisher of the London Journal. It appears that in those numbers of the London Journal are contained not only the usual notice which every publisher would be glad to see of his works, but contains all the principal passages in the original work. I have looked over the first volume, which contains three hundred pages, of which one hundred pages, containing the most beau tiful passages and scenes are contained in the Journal, omitting only those parts which are frequently skipped by novel readers. I, therefore, pray the injunction. The VICE-CXANCELLOR—The injunction is of course granted. SPEED ON RAILWAYS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The Sun of this day contains an extract from Messrs. Robert Stephenson and Locke's report, to the effect that the express trains on the South-Western Railway have been travelling for the last twelve months at a higher rate of speed (by 1k mile per hour) than those of the Great Western from London to Exeter. By simply referring to Bradshaw's book of railway time tables you will at once see that the fastest train on the South-Western takes lh. 50m. to accomplish the distance of 78 miles, from London to Southampton, stopping twice, or every 39 miles; the speed of the train, including the stoppages, is therefore 42.553 miles per hour: allowing 20 minutes for the two stoppages (that is, for pulling up, letting in and taking up pas sengers, luggage, &c., and getting up the speed again), the running speed on the line would be 52 miles per hour. The fastest train on the broad gauge, from London to Exeter, is the 5.30, P.M.; that train runs the distance, 1934 miles, in 4i hours, stopping at eight stations, or every 24 miles—Reading, Dideot, Swindon, Chippen ham, Bath, Bristol, Bridgewater, and Taunton. The speed, including these frequent stoppages, is 43.555 miles per hour. Out of the 43- hours taken in running the 1931 miles we shall have to deduct SO minutes, or 10 minutes for each station, which increases the running speed to 61.222 miles per hour, and reduces the time between Paddington and Exeter to three hours and ten minutes as the time actually taken up in running, without reference to any stoppages. It is therefore sufficiently evident that the speed on the broad gauge is greater than on the South-Western by 9.222 miles per hour. I believe the express trains on the South western run faster than those on the other narrow gauge lines. I remain, Sir, yours obediently, A READER OF THE SUN. Taunton, July 29, 1848.

SOUTH WALES 'RAILWAY BRIDGE ACROSS TIII UsK.—The bridge is in rapid course of re-erection, with improvements in the trusses; there were in the first construction six to each arch, there will now be but five, which are being placed so as to make the bridge both lighter and stronger. The danger of the bridge being again set on fire is entirely removed. Mr. Brunel visited Newport on Saturday, and inspected the works. The centre arch will be of iron—lighter and more graceful than wood, and will also conduce to the safety of the whole structure. The whole work will now occupy no more than about six months to finish. The great tunnel, at the back of Newport, is completed throughout, with the exception of the masonry at the entrances. EDWARD BAINES, ESQ.—Last week Mr. Baines had a very severe attack of illness, and on Sunday last his friends were under great alarm for the result. We are happy to say that since that day he has experienced a gradual though slow revival, and that hopes are now with considerable confidence entertained of his re covery. On Thursday and yesterday, however, the symptoms were rather less favourable, and his illness must be regarded as very serious.—Leeds Mercury.
