MONEY and COMMERCIAL Nt4W S. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE The Cotten Market at Liverpool yesterday was active sad firm. Sales 8,000 bales, and for the week 51,330 •a ll - Shares were well supported, and there was a fair demand. Prices advanced in many instances, a limited business being done owing to the indisposition to sell. The statement of the liabilities and assets of the Bank of England during the week ending the Bth inst., presents greater changes than any return of late given. The official payments customary at this period of the year have diminished materially the sum of the Govern ment balance, while the receipt of dividends has led to a great , augmentation of other deposits. The loans of the upon bills of exchange have remained almost sta tionary, while the sum of the Government securities is materially augmented. The circulation of notes is from the Government payments increased to the extent of ever three-quarters of a million sterling. Notes issued 27,673,050 Increase Zest Increase ?alio Deposits 4,113,230 Decrease Other Deposits 11,580,598 Increase Seven Day and other Bills Increase Government Securities Increase Other Securities Decrease Notes Decrease Bullion Decrease Active circulation Increase The quieter state of affairs abroad begin to " tell" upon the rates of the foreign exchanges, which are now generally lower. Still this is a return to a healthier state of things which cannot but prove satisfactory, even should it check the influx of bullion here. We subjoin a comparison of the rates: — July 14 March 31 Paris 25 374 to 424 26 30 to 60 Antwerp Amsterdam Hamburgh... Frankfort Trieste The quantity of gold coin exported this week from London has been 1,600 ounces, and of silver about 544,000 ounces. There are various arrivals to-day from different stuarters, including the Cape of Good Hope, Australia, the Mauritius, &c., but the dates are not later. Fresh difficulties have arisen concerning the sugar duties, the classification of the standard being found too low, and an effort is now making to obtain an alteration. The Public Securities have been affected by the lassi tude usually succeeding the settlement of a heavy ac count, and the quotations are lower, although one or two more Bears have again proved defaulters. The amounts generally are not heavy, and unlike commer cial suspensions they are of no interest to the public at large. Consols have been 874 for money, and 874 4 for account. Exchequer-bills have advanced to 455. and 495. premium. Bank Stock is 194 to 195. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 871 to 884. The Foreign investments are nominal. Spanish Three per Cents. are 214 to 22. Spanish Five per Cents. are 11} to 12. Dutch Four per Cents. are 71. IShares are very firm. ONE CLOSING PRICES Ole isRITISH FUNDS O'CLOCK. PRICES.

WESTERN CI RCUIT.— Winchester, July 14.. The Commission here was opened yesterday by Mr. Justice Coleridge and Mr. Baron Platt. The list of pri soners is rather light in point of number, but some of them are to be tried for very heavy offences. The whole number of prisoners is 45. Of these five are to be tried for murder, two for rape, six for burglary, three for rob bery, and one for an unnatural offence. The rest of the charges aro of a much lighter character. The cause list contains 15 cases, of which no fewer than six aremarked for special juries. CROWN COURT. This court was opened this morning for the trial of prisoners before Mr. Justice Williams. The only case of public interest which has yet been tried is the fol lowing:— Henry Casley, a very tall stout young man, apparently of great strength and vigour, and John Baker, a delicate and diffident-looking young man in the garb of a soldier, were indicted for burglariously breaking and entering the house of Elward Caines, at Carisbrooke, in the Isle of Wight, and stealing therein a numbrr ty sovereigns and other property belonging to Mr. Caines. The prisoner Baker pleaded guilty, and Casley pleaded not guilty. Mr. Sewell and Mr. Beetham appeared for khe prose cution, and Mr. Missing defended Casley. The principal witness for the prosecution was an tic• complice named Harvey, who proved that on the 6th of Au 4 ust last he was induced by Casley to accompany him and Baker to the house of the prosecutor (Mr. Caitu a very old and infirm gentleman, of considerable pro perty, who resided at a place called Park-green, in the pari,ti of Carisbrooke, near Newport, in the Isle of Wight. They broke into the house, and two of them • went into the bedroom of the old gentleman, who was asleep in bed, whilst the third remained outside to keep 1 guard. The poor old man was awoke by the disturbance, 1 and the prisoners, with great threats of violence, demanded his property of him. Casley at this time had a dagger with him, and also a red comforter wrapped round his head. Mr. Caines was too much frightened, and too infirm to protect his property, and the thieves pos sessed themselves of some money and other articles of considerable value. Mr. Caines had been examined be fore the committing magistrate, but the transaction seemed to have given a great shock to him, from which he never rallied, and he died before the trial. Tortu nately, however, a Miss Urney, who slept in an adjoining room to that occupied by Mr. Caines, had seen Casley on this night, and was enabled to identify him, chiefly by means of the comforter, which had been taken from him by the constable who took him into custody. A dagger also, which Harvey swore was the one used by Casley on the night in question, had been subsequently found in Casley's house, and was produced in court. The jury immediately round the prisoners guilty, and Mr. Justice WILLIAMS sentenced both of them to be transported for life. NISI PRIUS COURT. This court was opened this morning at ten o'clock be fore Mr. Justice Coleridge. Two or three cases of no interest were disposed of, and the Court then proceeded with the case of NAVAL IN TELL LGENCE. The Earl of Auckland, G.C.U., and Captain Milne left the Admiralty yesterday, for Portsmouth, to dine with the Commander-in-Chief and a select party; and this morning Rear Admiral Dundas, M.P., C. 8., the Hon. Captain Berkeley. M.P., C. 8., the Hon. W. Cowper, M.P., and the Admiralty Secretary, Mr. H. G. Ward„ M P., leave the Admiralty by the fast train for Gosport, whence having joined the Earl of Auckland, Captain Milne, &c., on board the Lightning, steam-tender, Master Commander Foley, they will proceed to Spithead, to witness the departure of the squadron under Rear Ad miral Sir Charles Napier, for their cruising ground, 10 degrees S.W. of Cape Clear. Wind and tide permitting, the ships will put to sea at one o'clock, P.M. The force will comprise the following SAILING•VESSELS. St. Vincent • 120 Captain Dacres. Prince Regent Bellerophon Tweed Helena Frolic Pilot Racer SCREW STEAM-VESSELS. Guns. h.p. Blenheim... 56 ... 450 Gaptain Charts, C. 13. ,Amphion... 34 ... 300 Captain W. J. Williams. Rifleman ... 4 ... 100 Lieut. Commander Crofton. Being a total force of 11 ships, mounting 456 guns, with 3,900 officers, men, and boys. The Rifleman was ready to go to Spithead lust evening. In addition to the above, the Dragon, 6, steam frigate, Captain W. H. Hall, and the Sharpshooter, 4, screw schooner, Lieutenant Commander Bailey, are also to be under the orders of Rear-Admiral Sir C. Napier, but they will be left behind, as the Dragon will not be ready before the 23d, her machinery requiring so much more repair than at first estimated by the chief engineer at Portsmouth Dockyard. She is fully rigged, with top gallant-yards crossed, in the basin. The Sharpshooter has been taken out of dock, is fitting with all dispatch, but will not be ready in time. She is alongside the yard fitting. When in dock she received another coat of Mr. Hay's valuable preservative composition on her bottom. In point of appearance and appointments, the above force is capable of meeting anything " near their own size" on the ocean; they are good and serviceable hull, with the best of materials in their navigators, and are as efficient a flotilla or squadron as ever left a British or foreign port. The Prince Regent, 90 guns on two decks, formerly a three-decker of 120 guns, is the most magni ficent sample of a working man-of-war in the world, but a fearfully expensive one, by the way, if we are correctly informed; however, be that as it may, we are not of the number who grumble at the expense of the ship if she is worth it, which the Prince Regent now undoubtedly is. The cruising ground will be the Channel, and as there are only three ships (St. Vincent, Amphion, and Dragon) of the present who were members of the last experi mental squadron, we expect something new in the shape of manoeuvring. We have already given the destinations of the ships after their exercising trials, and we have stated that Sir Charles Napier and the remainder of his squadron all bear up for Cork, after a fortnight's cruise. The;Admiralty party,will return to town this evening, with the exception of Admiral Dundas and Capt. Milne, who return to the Admiralty on Monday. The Collingwood is nearly denuded of all her warlike character, and will be put out of commission on Tues day, by which about 700 men will become available for other ships. The Kingfisher is undergoing a similar stripping, and will be put out of commission about the same time, when upwards of 100 men will become avail able for other vessels; the Dragon steam-ship is being refitted to follow the exercising squadron; the Sharp shooter will join this morning, having undergone altera tion, &c., and the Racer sloop will have joined from Plymouth, it is expected. The repairs and refitment of the Canopus, 84 gun ship, are ordered to be commenced and completed with all possible dispatch; it is premised for another com mission. The Reynard auxiliary screw schooner, Commander Craycroft, fitting out at Woolwich, is manned nearly, and will follow the squadron of exercise, to be tried therein. Captain H. M. Denham, F.R.S., left town last night on a government inquiry into recent steam-vessel acci dents, according to the Act of the 9th and 10th of her present Majesty's reign. He proceeds to Liverpool first. The appeal from condemnation at the Cape of Good Hope, in 1840, of the Portuguese vessel, Dom Pedro Duque do Porto, captured by her Majesty's ship Cur lew, in that year, has been confi rme d by a d ecis i on o f the Privy Council at its sitting on the 27th ult.; and the proceeds will no doubt shortly be paid over to Mr. Woodhead, the captors' present agent. APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenant—F. H. Stirling, who recently passed his examination on a special day and on being promoted last month, had his commission dated from the day of his passing (son of Sir James Stirling), has been appointed to the St. Vincent, 120, flag-ship of Sir C. Napier, at Spithead. Master—W. W. Dillon (1843) to the Amphion, screw steam-frigate, at Spithead. Surgeon—Robert Pottinger (1847) to the Reynard, screw schooner, fitting at Woolwich. Assistant Surgeon—William E. Humbly (acting), to the St. Vincent. Midshipman—A. Fox, to the Helena, 16, for the West Indies. Naval Cadets—H. 11. M. Magrath, to the Pantaloon, 8, fitting at Devonport; C. D. Inglis, to the Prince Re gent, 90, at Seithead. Engineers—Thomas Oultram, George Goldsack, and John A. Burton, to the Reynard. The Orestes, 18, was taken out of dock at Portsmouth, yesterday morning, having received a thorough repair. She will bo ready for the pendant by the 31st. The Racer, 12, Lieutenant Commander Bacon, left Plymouth Sound on Wednesday evening, for Ports mouth. The Athol, troop-ship, Master-Commander Edward J. P. Pearn, arrived at Devonport, from Woolwich, on Thursday. She has some sails providing for her, which were to be completed by the evening, when she would be ready to proceed with the artillery detachment to relieve that on present service. She brings back the latter to Woolwich. The Fairy, royal yacht screw-tender, Master-Com mander Welch, is all ready for the service of the queen when required; she has taken up her moorings off the Clarence Creek. The Fire Queen, steam-tender, Master-Commander Allen, is out of the basin at Portsmouth, and will be ready for service early next week; she will resume her duties as a dispatch boat, while the Court may continue at Osborne House. The Cormorant, steam-sloop, was taken into dock yesterday at Portsmouth; she is fitting to form one of the reserve steam squadron. The Hermes, steam-vessel, Master-Commander Mar tin, is ordered to proceed to Devonport to perform the duties at that port. She is to call at Sheerness and Ports mouth on her passage. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY, FIVE P.M. —Light summer breezes from the southward, with fine weather. CHATne.st, JULY 14.—The Venus, 42 guns, will be undocked on Saturday the 15th instant, and navigated to Woolwich, to be fitted for the exercise and instruction of the boys belonging to the Marine Society. The Blossom, 26 guns, will be taken into dock on the 15th instant, to be taken to pieces. The Cleopatra, 26 guns, having been repaired and fitted for commission, will be put out of dock on Mon day next, when the Castor, 36 guns, will be docked for repair. The Wildfire steam-vessel at Sheerness, is ordered to have the defects of her machinery made good at this port. Mr. J. White, the boatswain of the Trafalgar, is ap pointed boatswain of the sheer hulk of this port, and Robert Pichard, shipwright, has been superannuated on a pension of 221. per annum. Ctitrb Vbition LATEST FROM PARIS. The National announces that the indemnity claimed for the losses sustained by the French residents at Naples in the affair of May 15, has been paid in full, and that Admiral BAUDIN and M. Bois LE COMTE had orders not to leave their respective stations until, by their efforts, they had obtained the performance of this act of justice. ELECTION COMMITTEE. (THIS I)AY.) DUBLIN. The Committee were occupied the whole of the day in hearing counsel argue pro and con. as to the validity of the grand jury cess rate. At the termination of the argument the room was cleared, and the Committee, after a short deliberation, decided that the cesa was not legally due at the time the election took place. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, JULY 14.—A large business has been transacted this week both in British plantation and foreign descriptions, at steady prices. For rnm we are still without inquiry.—Bristol Mercury. The rumour is revived that Lord Hardinge is to succeed Lord Clarendon as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. It has been thought that the appointment of a military Governor would have the effect of irritating the already sufficiently irritable Irish, and so the change has been postponed until the country is comparatively tranquil, and free felons upon paper have become incarcerated felons on bread and water.—United Service Gazette. INVALID DEPOT, CHATHAM. -1,702 invalids, wait ing their final discharge from their respective regiments, are now at this place, where their cases will be decided on by the Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital, for the purpose of being placed on the pension list. That board granted pensions to near 5,000 men during the year 1847.—Ibid. Captain Robert Pitzßoy (1834), late Governor of New Zealand, and who commanded the Rhadamanthus steam-vessel on her first being fitted, it is confidently reported will have the command of the new 46-gun frigate Arrogant, when she has her screw propeller ma chinery fitted.—lbid. HER MAJESTY'S DOCKYARD S: OU making a pro motion recently of an officer who had shown great supe riority over his competitors, the Board of Admiralty, in a public minute, expressed an anxious desire that the artificers of her Majesty's dockyards should be thoroughly satisfied that merit alone is considered in the selection of men for advancement; and that by perse verance and ability they may obtain the highest honours and the highest position in their department. Their Lordships desired to impress upon the dockyard men that their patronage is distributed with the strictest im partiality. We recommend the Admiralty not only to avow but to practise the same impartiality in the selec tion of officers for promotions and appointments in the navy!—/bid. A greater proof cannot be afforded of the ex cessive poverty of the island of St. Vincent than is fur nished by the uccount of a conference between the mem bers of the Assembly and the Lieutenant-Governor of the colony. It appears that a supply of rifles was ap plied for some months since, " when the colony was in a position to defray the cost thereof," but now that they have arrived—some time having intervene! since they were ordered—the colony is too impoverished to pay for them. It is, therefore, asked that the rifles be made a grant to the colony.—lbid. TIIE IRISH " FELON."—The back of rebellion was fairly broken in Ireland by the arrest, trial, and de parture of Mitchel. Since then, Lord Clarendon has placed it on the rack, and joint by joint he dislocated the monster. Duffy has been stopped—Meagher is in the hands of the law; and now Messrs. M`Geo and Hollywood have been arrested. But little sympathy is manifested by the people. They appear heartily tired of sedition, and its effects upon the general prosperity of the country.—/hid. THE MURDER AT LivEurooL.--The inquest on the body of the woman Gallagher has resulted in the committal of her husband for the capital offence. Tho other man was discharged. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE, NORFOLK ClRCUlT—Buckingham, July 13. The commission for the county of Buckingham was opened yesterday by Mr. Baron Parke, who this morning proceeded to charge the grand jury. The calender contains the names of sixteen prisoners, of whom four can neither read n or write, tour can on l y read imperfectly, and the remain i ng eight can r ea d an d write, but only imperfectly. Tho calendar does not make any statement respecting the skill of the prisoners in arithmetic, although the report of the chaplain to the Model Prison points out proficiency in arithmetic as the best test of the amount of instruction received by per sons in the situation of th e ordinar y run of p r i soners. The crimes charged are for the number dispropor tionately serious ; there being three cases of arson, two of burglary, two of felonious wounding, ono of felonious killing, and one of an unnatural crime. The cause list is very meagre, three cases only have been en tered in it. CROWN COURT._( Bef_ore Mr. Baron Psair.) , George Hari was indicted for having f e l oniously killed and slain Frederick Sa nders on the 10th of Ma y last. Mr. Prendergast appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. O'Malley defended the prisoner. From the evidence, it appeared that in some the p art i es had been drinking together a public house, for hours, on the night of the 10th of Mayi; that , a b oast made about his prowess by the prisoner had ind uce d the deceased to insist on fighting tura; th at the prisoner was at first reluctant to fight , but th at after the p art i es left the public house, and after m any attempt s o f t h e deceased to provoke the prisoner to fight, the latter en tered into conflict with him, and dealt him a heavy blow on the head, of which he died in about an hour after wards. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and recommended him to mercy. Mr. Baron PARKE said that ho also thought the facts such as made the prisoner a person on whom a lenient sentence ought to be passed. There had not been any unfair fighting, and the prisoner, far from being eager to fight, had been desirous of avoiding a c on fli ct. The sentence, therefore, would be, that he be imprisoned for the space of one month. LEGROVE V. CLARK THE YOUNGER. Mr. Sergeant Kinglake and Mr. Massey appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Crowder and Mr. Poulder con ducted the case for the plaintiff. The action was for the seduction of the plaintiff's daughter, a pretty, interesting looking girl, of about 19 years of age. It appeared from the evidence that the plaintiff was a small farmer, living in a little village near Basingstoke, and the defendant was a grocer in Basingstoke. The plaintiff and his wife were in the habit of sending their daughter to the defendant's shop for various articles which they were in the habit of purchasing there. By this means an intimacy sprung up between the defendant and the plaintiff's daughter, and in the sequel the de- Endant used to take the opportunity of frequently visiting the daughter at her father's house when both the parents were away, as they necessarily were a great deal, attending to the management of their farm. At length the daughter found herself in the family way; and after a time she mustered courage to tell the de fendant's aunt. This led to some negotiation between the parties, but with no satisfactory result; and a child having been born in due course, this action was ulti mately brought. Mr. Crowder, in his cross-examination of the daugh ter, attempted to impeach her character for chastity ; but he only succeeded in showing that she had on one or two occasions gone to a public-house in Basingstoke with a young man whom she knew ; and she had once dressed herself up in the clothes of the son of the de fendant's aunt, and gone into the village thus attired for a little innocent fun. Tho jury thinking that this evidence furnished no answer to the action, gave a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 501. HOME ClRCUlT.—Hertford, July 14. CROWN SlDE—(Before Mr. Justice CATKAN). John Hayes, 21, was indicted for feloniously setting fire to an outhouse, the property of Joseph Gear, with intent to injure him. Mr. Ryland prosecuted. The prisoner was defended by Mr. T. Chambers. The circumstances under which this charge was pre ferred were of rather an extraordinary character, for, although the prisoner was only arraigned upon one charge of arson, it came out in evidence that he must have been the author of three incendiary fires almost simultaneously. A great number of witnesses were examined for the prosecution, the evidence being, as is usual in such cases, entirely circumstantial, but their concurrent testimony left no doubt of the guilt of the prisoner. It appeared that between seven and eight o'clock on Sunday evening, the 18th of June, just about the time when the inhabitants were returning from their different places of worship, the neighbourhood of Water ford, a village a short distance from Hertford, was alarmed by the sudden outbreak of three fires, one at an outhouse belonging to the prosecutor, a second at Waterford Mill, occupied by a Mr. Squire, and a third at Waterford Hall, in the occupation of a gentleman named Dorrington. Speedy means were, of course, taken to allay the conflagration; but this was not effected until a considerable amount of damage had been done. The evidence against the prisoner went to show that just before the fire broke out he was met by a labourer named Parish close to Gear's cottage, and he lost sight of him for a moment, and he observed him again very shortly, apparently coming from the out house in question, and Parish had not got more than a quarter of a mile from the spot when he heard the alarm of fire, and saw the place burning. The prisoner was then traced for some distance by several witnesses, till he arrived at Mr. Squire's, where a cow-house was fired, and here, as in the first case, immediately upon the dis covery of the fire the prisoner was seen creeping stealthily under a railing away from the spot. Not con tent with the mischief he had already effected, it would seem that the prisoner proceeded directly to Waterford hall, where he set fire to the back of the premises, but the fire was fortunately extinguished without any serious injury being done by it. The prisoner then, it ap peared, retraced his steps by a circuitous route; but the hue and cry being raised, he was pursued and taken into custody, and conveyed by Inspector Dunn, of the Hertford police, to the lock-up in that town, and, on his . being told th a t h e was charged with causing three fires, and among them that one at Gear's, he replied, that was all right. It transpired in the course of the evidence, that the person who had fired Mr. Squire's premises must have passed through the backwater of the mill stream, and on th e p r i soner ' s person b e i ng exa mined, it was found that his shoes and stockings were completely saturated with water, and the foot prints close to the fire also tallied exactly with the shoes worn by the prisoner at the time of his apprehen sion. These facts, and some other minor circum stances, left no doubt whatever of the guilt of the prisoner ; but the most singular part of the transac tion appeared to be, that it was not suggested that the prisoner had any motive for committing such acts as those imputed to him, and that there was not the least between him and the parties whose pre mises ho had fired, except in the case of Gear, with whom he had only had a slight quarrel two years be fore. It likewise appeared that the prisoner was in regular work, and bore a good character in the neigh bourhood. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. RYLAND said there were two other indictments for arson against the prisoner, but The COURT intimated that it would be unnecessary to proceed with them. _ The Learned JUDGE then addressed the prisoner, and said he had been convicted of an offence which was un happily of very frequent occurrence, and which called for exemplary punishment. If he had been charged with setting fire to a dwelling-house ho should certainly have transported him for life, but as it was, he must expect a severe sentence. He then ordered him to be transported for fifteen years. VIITIMALL GARDENS.—Yesterday a grand morn ing and evening fete was given at these gardens under distinguished patronage, in aid of the funds of the Distressed Needlewomen's Society. The morning pro ceedings included a public breakfast, which was nume rously attended, and, barring a little confusion, appeared to give satisfaction to the guests ; a fine-art distribu tion, after the manner of the A r t-U n i on , an d a concert. In the execution of the latter, the programme was not accurately fulfilled, many of the distinguished vocalists announced, including Tamburini, Madame Tadolini, Madame Dorus Gras, tic., not being present. However, with the gay decorations of the gar d ens , a nd the exer tions of four distinct bands of music, the visitors were kept pretty well amused during the early part of the afternoon. In the eve n i ng t h e usual attract i ons o f the gardens,including the horsemanship, the wonderful feats of the inimitable Juba, added to a doable display of fire works, were displayed. There was also a ball, which afforded gratification to many hundreds. Though the weather was unpropitious towards nightfall, owing to the thunderstorm, the gardens were pretty well attended to the end of the proceedings.

DUBLIN, JULY 13.—The Government are proceeding vigorously, if not prudently, with the work of pacifica tion. Mr. T. D. M`Gee, the subeditor of the Nation, and Mr. Edward Hollywood, who has some connexion with the Felon, were arrested yesterday evening, on a charge of sedition; and, after due investigatio n at Col lege-street, were ound over in heavy recognizances to appear at the present assizes of Wicklow to take their trial. Although the bail is returnable to the present assizes, it is pretty well understood that the trials cannot take place before the spring. The Stamp-office authorities have refused to issue the usual supply of stamps to the Felon newspaper, at least until they have had a communication with the Govern ment upon the subject. A final answer is expected to be given before to-morrow. _ _ The following handbill has been extensively distri buted amongst the clubs, metropolitan and pro vincial:— " JOHN MARTIN. " TO THE CITIZENS OF DUBLIN. " Fellow-Citizens,—An infamous outrage has been this day perpetrated upon a fellow• citizen by the ser vants of the English Government. " Without a colour of law, they broke into his house —seized and carried off by force his private property. " In his person the law has been set at defiance, and the most sacred rightsjof the citizen have been insolently trampled under foot. " Before their trial, citizens are treated as convicted felons—their homes violated—their property seized and confiscated. " Irishmen I—this must not last. We must not be tame—we must not bo idle, whilst an Austrian despo tism is being planted in our country. " The day of reckoning is at hand I—the hour for the death grapple with this tyranny approaches I—Till it comes, no shrinking, no rashness—but " Prepare ! Prepare I Prepare I" The Cork papers of yesterday bring accounts of a grand review of the clubs of that city before the general commanding, Mr. Si pith O'Brien. The subjoined sketch is abridged from the Constitution : Tuesday evening was appointed by Mr. W. Smith O'Brien for his insp 5 section of the Co n f e d erate clubs o f this city, and the pl ace appointed as the re v i ew field was that piece of ground behind the C orn - mar k et and ad joining the City-park, known by the name of the jsi o . nerea marsh." At seven o'clock the clubs began to ar rive at the end of the South-terrace, passed by ti c k ets J J. j into the salt and lime w or k s yard ofJ. O'Connor, and were drawn up according to precedence up in sections of two d eep , each sectionn. u m T b h e e r y i n g m from 40 to 100, flanked by persons apparently in command, and whose orders were giv as it arrived t en by signs. E ac h sect i on, a a certain point en the road, passed in revi ew i n front if its superior officer. The sec tions, which continue at to march up had all arri ve d b e f o re eight in quick succession, o'clock. Shortly after that hour a band came u p, playing a military quickstep, fol lowed by a jingle, in which were Mr. W. S. O'Brien, and Messrs. Denny Lane, J. Shea Lawlor, and R. I Shine Lalor. Having alighted, they went into the yard for a few minutes, when Mr. O'Brien ordered them to march to the Monerea marsh, and draw up in military line. The order being obeyed, they all drew up in line, and he passed along with his staff, each man as he passed putting the index finger of the right hand to his hat or cap in salute. Mr. O'Brien then took up a prominent position, beaded by their presidents, flanked by the secretaries, and closed by the vice-presidents. As each club passed the president announced its name, and all give the salute. Mr. O'Brien watched cautiously to see that each man gave the salute, and whenever a. party forgot to do so he rebuked him, occasionally saying—" Just touch your hats as you walk along'.' The St. Patrick's Club having halted in front of him for a moment, he cried out, "Du move along and when you meet the other club turn to the east, as want to see what kind of men the patriots of Irelanti ats ." On one of the clubs passing, he remarked on the number of young bays in it, to which Town councillor Mutlan replied, "We are particular to enrol non under 16 years of age, and all these will be found to conse up to that." Mr. O'Brien having disapproved of the order in which one club marched, one of the mem bers said, '6 We want a little discipline yet, sir ; but we are willing to learn." To which Mr. O'Brien said, in an authoritative tone, "Keep up your plsces and be silent." A woman here rushed forward and exeliimed, " 'l'hree cheers for the King of Munster," to whirls' Ir. O'Blien replied, " Not yet—not yet—no shouting—no shouting." The clubs were composed of tradesmen, with one exception, that of the Mercantile Atilistents' Club, the majority of whose members were the shop clerks in the drapers' establishments in this city. The review having terminated, Mr. S. O'Brien and his staff mounted a heap of rubbish, and, fronting the lunatic asy lutn, he was presented with an address from the southern district. The address was read by Mr. Ralph Varian, secretary of the Southern Council. Mr. S. O'BRIEN then addressed them. He had to thank the clubs for the extreme regularity, order, and precision which they observed; and, for his part, he placed very little value upon cheers, but deeply felt the importance of subordination ; for shouting was of little avail when the struggle was for liberty, while regularity and order were the great requisites, and therefore they should ac custom themselves to control; and this was now the more necessary, for never at any former period were such unjustifiable attempts made by a Whig Minister to suppress the liberties of the people as at the present mo ment. Having referred to the trial of Mitchel, and the arrests of Duffy and others, he asked them, might he tell Duffy and others now lying in dungeons that the men of Cork were prepared?—(Loud cries of " Yes, and the women too.") Were they prepared to sustain those heroes in every effort to demand, if necessary, and secure the final vindication of the liberties of this coun try ?—(Shouts of " Yes.") From expediency alone he was anxious to avoid a catastrophe—having the Irish people plunged into unsuccessful strife, for when the effort was made for the independence of the country, it must be crowned with success, and ho was now bound to tell them that the only fear he entertained of the achieve. meat of that success was precipitation and defeat in their endeavour to vindicate their rights. Therefore he counselled them to accustom themselves to restraint, so fur as it was possible under; existing circum stances. He told them to do nothing rashly—to do nothing without the desire of their leaders—no thing without the co-operation of their fellow-country men; and, trusting in the skill and resolution of their leaders, they would find the struggle conducted to a suc cessful issue. Mr. DENNY LANE suggested the necessity of all join ing the clubs. Mr. S. o'l3atEx said, they had seen the advantages of club organization, where they had seen 2,000 or 3,000 fellow-citizens drawn up in position in an orderly man ner, and he hoped that after this night they would all get enrolled. He now requested them to move off as quietly as they had come, and above all things to avoid shouting in the streets, and he would now disperse them, calling on them to give a hearty cheer for Ireland. Mr. DENNY LANE—Try and make them cheer like soldiers. Three cheers in order, and take the fire from your hat. - Mr. S. O'BRnN—A cheer for liberty and Ireland.— (Loud cheering.) See, the clubs are going off in order; do you follow them in an orderly manner. The meeting now fell into line, and at ten o'clock marched from the review. THE NEW SEROEANT.—We have much gratification in announcing that John O'Brien, Esq., Q,.C., has been appointed one of h er M a j esty ' s S ergeant s-at-law, in the room of the late Sergeant Warren. Mr. O'Brien's stand. ing and practice at the bar fully entitle him to this dis tinction ; and his selection, we are sure, will give uni versal satisfaction to the profession.—Evening Post. THE MURDER OF MAJOR MAHON. ROSCOMMON, JULY 12.--Patrick Hasty was put on his trial this day for a conspiracy to murder Major Ma hon in November last. The Attorney-General addressed the jury on behalf of the Crown. The other counsel were, Messrs. Close and French, and for the next of kin, Messrs. Waller, Burke and Lloyd ; for the prisoner, Messrs. Skelton and Blakeney. The Crown examined five witnesses, chiefly co-conspi rators and parties who had been accused with the shoot ing of Major Mahon, with the exception of Doctor Shanly, who was in the carriage with the unfortunate gentleman when he was shot. The witnesses on behalf of the Crown were Patrick Rigney, John Hester, Patrick Flynn, Patrick Hunt, and Doctor Shanly. The witnesses nearly all agreed as to the conspiracy to shoot Major Mahon, and of a largo sum of money having been collected for the purpose. The tenants of Major Mahon, it was stated, imagined that by getting rid of him they would be relieved of the rents they owed. Mr. SiELTON addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and commented on what he termed the lame case of the Crown, and the sort of witnesses they had to sustain it. The witnesses on behalf of the prisoner were Mr. French, the attorney for the defence, and persons named Connor and Dockery. Six o'cLocK.—The Attorney-General is replying on behalf of the Crown. The other prisoners to be tried for the conspiracy are James Commons, who it is asserted was the person who shot Major Mahon, Michael Gardiner, and Martin Brennan LIMERICK, TIIESDAY.—MURDER. —Five men were this day charged with the murder of John Macinery, at Adamstown, on the 3d of October, last year. The pri• boners refusing to join in the challenges, one of the party, named Gorman, was put upon his trial, and after the examination of witnesses was found guilty. A man, named Patrick Ryan, was also found guilty of the murder of Honora Ryan, on the 12th November last. THE NEW REGENT OF GERMANY. While John of Austria is the centre of so much poli tical interest a brief sketch of his career may be inte resting to many, for it belongs more to the past genera tion than the present. He is the brother of the late and uncle of the reigning Emperor; be was born in 1782, and has therefore reached his 66th year. He was educated and thrown into active life during the stormy times of the first French revolution; as early as 1800 he was placed in command of an Austrian army; but he was not fortunate; the battle of llohenlinden tried him is the fire of misfortune, and the utmost he could effect was by his personal courage and example to keep the spirit of the Austrian forces from being quite crushed by the defeats they sustained from the French armies, led by the ablest of its generals. After the peace of Luneville he was appointed Director of the corps of Engineers and of the Military_ Academy of Vienna. Notwithstanding his that he as the object of many bright expectations in gloomy period; he became excessively popular, the espe cially in the Austrian provinces. He originated through the campaign of 1805.

THE STATE APARTMENTS AT WINDSOR CASTER. —A letter was received on Thursday last, by the Mayor of Windsor, from Earl Spencer, the Lord Chamberlain, in answer to a memorial, signed by about 260 of the in habitants of New Windsor, praying for a relaxation of the regulations under which the public are admitted to view the state apartments at the Castle. His Lordship very reasonably represents that an unlimited influx of strangers into the Castle would be quite incompatible with the personal comfort of the Sovereign, but states that her Majesty, with her characteristic consideration and anxiety for the recreation of her subjects, has given directions that the apartments shall be thrown open to persons presenting tickets on Mondays, in addition to the days on which the public have hitherto been admitted, and to direct that persons obtaining tickets from Mr. Roberts, of Windsor, shall, in future, be admitted to the state apartments without any intermediate delay. ~~ Yener oope the rise g an ring and the ►rriy haS bar- cut' -,eeli vinS I the nced WO' the lling the ) re -1 he that the 4 N.
