So away wo all jogged, near to Aidgate churchgate, And perceived two large houses, which now are made eight. I wish, said my father, on entering these, To look-at your juvenile dress, if you please. And the lery first glance, as you'll doubtless suppsse, Made him bargain at once for my first suit of clothes. I scarcely need say 'twas a capital one And a suit that did credit to MOSES and SON. Such, indeed, was the case, though the price that was paid, Was And que a new thinz in the tailoring trade. the fact, that I still buy of them, plainly shows, That they've not been remiss in my last suit of clothes.

How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lo ver, b y enervation of early habits, er the results of secret disease, knows himself to b e disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of Important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable ! Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. These desirous of investigating it will find the fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled SELF-PRESERVATION , illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observa tions on the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting Bum solitary habits, excesses, or infection. -,By SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., Doctor of ?Jeanine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Mall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. This treatise is the result of a long course of study In a peculiar and muck neglected branch of medical practice, and the author having ob tained the hi;hest medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes sional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treat ment of these diseases.

In the book before us such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the erring, without Impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truthS of philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. it is a production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally, upon all who are tempted fro m the ri g id path of abstemiousness and propriety. A father may trust i t in the hands of his boy. By un taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breatling in these pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine." —United Kingdom Magazine.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD.—FLOATING OF THE SECOND GREAT TUBULAR BRIDGE OVER THE CONWAY. Yesterday the second great tubular bridge over the Conway Straits was floated on the pontoons to the piers. The operation, combined with the stupendous machinery employed in the process, attracted large crowds from Conway and other parts of the princi pality. Everything favoured the lifting of the levia than structure, The wind was fair, the Conway water calm, and the rain that fell during the night had the effect of causing a copious fall of fresh water from the heights, thus h o ldi ng b ac k the tide, and tempering the strengh of th e curren t, so essential to the success of the great operation. At precisely nil:3 o'clock, or fifty minutes before high water, Captain Claxton, R.N., noted for his successful exertions in raising an othvkato.4,o,- stru4piterthasereat attic, gave, through iLpinverfill ipeaking-trumfiet, used for: the purpose of directing the engineers and the sailors above and below, the signal to pipe all hands, and al most immediately the tremendous freight was seen moving stealthily to its destination. Next him were Mr. Robert Stephenson, M.P., the engineer, the de signer of this new feature in engineering art ; Mr. Edwin Clarke, C.E., his principal assistant ; Mr. A. M. Ross, C.F. ; Mr. W. Evans, the coatractor ; Mr. Frank Forster, C.E.; and near it Sir Charles Smith, Bart., Mr. Amos, te Bishop of Bangor, the Rev. Mr. Morgan, Mr. J. o.' Burger, and a large number of the gentry and scientific men, whose names and titles we could not ascertain. The tube was lifted in about sixty minutes, com mencing at a few minutes past nine, and with its weight of 1,300 tons was got safely home at a few minutes past ten, amid enthusiastic bursts from the bystanders, and a salvo of artillery from the castle walls. The entire operation was effected without the slightest accident. This was the more gratifying, as upon the previous occasion one man had the mis fortune to break his leg. Three cheers were given for " Stephenson." Go where you will in Wales, the question is, " Have you seen the tube ? " To give a popular idea cf the huge fabric that now spans, or seems to hover over the Conway, the reader has only to imagine in his mind's eye the Thames Tunnel transposed—that is to say, suspended 18 feet over, instead of passing so many feet under the Thames, with no midway support, but slung over, like the bridge at Hunger ford, without even the supporting chains, and only resting upon piers 400 feet apart. Through this great iron tube, upon rails within, pass the trains from London to Holyhead. It is looked upon as one of the greatest works of modern engineering skill, and is the joint production of Mr. Stephen son, the eminent engineer, Mr. Fairbairn, Mr. Hoilgkinson, and Mr. Clarke, Mr. Stephenson's assistant. Mr. Stephenson states that it is six or seven years ago since he first entertained the idea of constructing bridges with wrought iron plates, ri vetted together. It was at a period when all the ordinary kinds of bridges were being discussed that he eventually hit upon the notion, and designs were completed for an iron tubular bridge in principle the same as at present. It was effectually completed, it answered its purpose, and is now to be seen on the Northern and Eastern Railway. From that time it appears that the idea fell for a period, in consequence of the expense of wrought iron exceeding that of cast, until the period of commencing the Chester and Holyhead Railway. The original design was to cross the Conway by iron arches of very large dimensions, from 400 to 450 feet span, and when the tube bridge was proposed before Parliament it was received in the Committee with smiles of incredulity. The scenery all around is excessively beautiful, and the whole structure of the tube, one of which re poses at'the foot of Conway Castle, is, with its cas tellated masonry, in excellent keeping. With the broad estuary below, and the bill of Benmarth in the background, the view is very picturesque and im posing. - The tube itself is composed of a series of iron plates, rivetted together like armour work. Its entire length is 424 feet, the actual span over the Conway being 400 feet ; its greatest inside width is 14 feet throughout, its height 22f feet, at each end; but rising to 25 feet in the middle, the additional three feet being given to lessen the deflection of the bases. The total weight of each tube is 1,300 tons, so that the superimposed weight, now that the two tubes are at rest over the Conway, 2,600 tons burthen from bank to bank. The e l evat i on of the tubes f rom, t h e i r bottom is 18 feet a b ove high-water mark. The wrought iron plates, o f w hi ch the sides, top, an d bot tom are composed, v ary f rom half an inch to seven eighths of an inch in thickness. To a person standing in the middle of the tube the light from either end resembles a dim twilight. The end of the tube on the Conway side rests altogether on the masonry of the pier, but the other end of it is supported by cast iron rollers under the bottom, and by brass balls at the top, by which the tube has freedom to expand or contract, according to the degree of heat or cold acting on it ; and from this circumstance it varies about one inch in length. The entire tube, we under stand, has taken twelvemonths to construct. On the iron floor of the tube about 70 solid tranverse beams are laid, about 12 inches square, and five feet in the clear apart. Upon these cross beams are laid longi tudinally, and to these the cradles that secure the rails are screwed. Each tub e hasfor t c h o e s t t r a a h i n o u s t t 6 o o p ,o a o s s o l u . p o n Now that the tube has been successfully raised, what is called the " testing process," a most important one, will follow. Tnis upon by removing the wedges that support the tube its f cradle,. f the ends of the tube being left with a hold the fl o e six feet of teach on f the . tube, the stone piers. To ascertain about 30 ballast waggons, each filled x w u with iron, in all 300 tons, will then be placed, and remain for a given period in the centre. One advantageous feature of the operation was that the pontoons in their progress made no water. To morrow or Monday the whole structure will be com pleted by means of the hydraulic machines. The masonry will be built in under the corballing, and in another fortnight the trains will run . through unin terruptedly. The other tube will then be closed for a short time, to allow of the alteration of the rails, so as to admit of the removal of the transverse timbers, which may be dispensed with, and trusting' only to the transverse plates of iron. The first tube has now been subjected to five months experience in all wea thers, and it has been found, from the most minute and delicate observation, that the deflexion varies only from the temperature up and down an inch, and al though heavy trains have passed daily through it, the genera l inflexion observed has not varied from what it was when first brought into use. The greatest motion registered from the strongest gale was I,sooths of an inch. The tube has at present 6ft. rest at either end, but it is intended by building up the abutments, ;that eventually it shall have 12. On the return of the special train, several hundreds went over the new line from Chester to Shrewsbury, the entire operation of flatting being completed with éclat considerably before eleven. There was some talk of festivities and a ball at Conway._ A strong body of police was present to keep the avenues and order, under the superintendenc e of In spector Partridge, and the trains to and fro displayed triumphal flags. Numerous excursion trains through• out the week have taken large numbers to the spot. OPENING OF THE SHREWSBURY AND CHESTER THROUGHOUT. SHREWSBURY, TnuRSDAY.—To-day a general holiday, such as neither Shrewsbury nor Chester have for a long time seen, was observed on the occasion of uniting both by the completion of the through line into Shrewsbury, the first railway, in fact, with which the latter place has as yet been endowed. At as early an hour as seven o'clock both town s were astir, and at that hour the first excursion, train left Chester, drawn by three engines, with colours flying and bands playing, with seventeen carriages attached, containing Mr. Ormsby Gore, M.P., the chairman ; Major Gore, Mr. Roy, the secretary; Mr. Robin son , the engineer; Mr. Knox, managing di rec t or of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham ; M r. Williams, the banker; Dr. Jones, Mayor of Chester, the members of the corporation, and a large number of the gentry. At half. past ten it returned, taking the Mayor and corporation of Shrewsbury, who, after sundry cour teous exchanges, returned to Shrewsbury at about two o'clock, in a monster train of fifty carriages and three engines. Between 1,000 and 2,000 free tickets were issued by the directors, and half Chester tra- TO THII LADIES. This lady had the following letter ineerted in the "Times" news. paper on Aug. 7, 1346. Reader, remember, this letter was put Into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of Ne. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W.

CELIBACY. —Singleness is not always the con sequence of disinclination, disappointed affection, or a d!ffi culty in meeting with a fit helpmate. Thousands of the unmarried would with joy embrace the sacred conditions of Matrimony, did they feel themselves equal to its obligations; and the chequered page of life reveals innumerable instances where, under that blighting consciousness, man has permitted the most ardent affec tion to consume him to the grave, rather than consign its object to that life of unmitigable anguish and fettered solitariness into which his afnanced would be plunged if he married. Some are, however, wilful enough to gain the affections of the other sex under these circumstances; and, though not se villanous as to proceed to the altar, will make such excuses for procrastination as contribute to his selfish desire of exclusively enjoying her society, by precluding her from accepting other offers. There is scarcely a street where this history is not enacted ; and yet with the exercise of common foresight, its frequency might be so lessened as to ren der an instance rare throughout the entire kingdom. The disqualifications for Marriage have more than one primary source ; the chief of which is Impuissance, arising from four causes :—namely, Natural Deficiency ; the Prostration produced by Early liabits ; the Weakening effects of Later Excesses ; and Nervousness of Tempera ment ; the next sources of importance are hereditary and acquired disease ; and, lastly, men are prevented from marrying by the effects of disease—which, when ill-cured, leaves traces that forbid all im pulse towards wedlock. In each of these instances it is unhappily too common for the sufferer to consider his case beyond remedy, and he fails to consult even his own medical attendant. Such will find all obstacles removed by reference to a valuable Manual on Nervous Debility and Generative diseases, the thirty-seventh thousand of which has just been published by its Authors, J. L. CURTIS and CO., Consulting Surgeons, 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London, entitled MA.NIIGOD ; the Causes of its Premature Decline, with Plato Directions for Perfect Restoration, &c., This eminent Work, which is forwarded by W.

An inquest was held yesterday at the Goldsmiths' Arms, Southwark-bridge-road, on the body of John Grey, aged four years, whose death occurred under the 'following extraordinary circumstances :—lt ap poared that deceased was the son of a costermonger living at No. 3, Red Cross-street, and on Tuesday last the family, consisting of two or three children and their father and mother, dined together. They all partook of some conger eel, of which deceased ate more freely than the rest, and was shortly afterwards attacked by violent sickness and diarrhoea. The pa rents did mot deem it necessary to call in medical advice until the following day, when Mr. Randall, a surgeon, was called in. He stated that he found de ceased labouring under all the apparent effects of cholera—via., violent purging and pains in the limbs, &c. He applied the proper remedies but without effect, and deceased expired the same day. From a subsequent examination, and from the information of the parents, he had no doubt of death being the result of the poisonous effects of the fish. The whole of the family had suffered more or less from the same cause, and the father was now labouring under its effects. The Coroner thought it was of equal im portance that the matter should go forth to the public, whether the death had arisen from cholera or from the cause assigned by the medical witness, as in both cases it was necessary that a caution should be given. After some further inquiry, the jury re corded a verdict in accordance with the medical testimony. Yesterday Mr. Bedford, the coroner, attended for the second time during the present week at the Millbank prison, and held two inquiries on the bodies of Joseph Scott, aged 40, and Stephen Balkwell, aged 38, late convicts at that gaol, and whose deaths happened under the following circumstances. The evidence proved that Scott, was admitted into the prison on the 31st of January last from Springfield gaol, and sen tenced to ten years' transportation for housebreaking and larceny, after two previous convictions. He went on very well until the sth of March, when he saw the doctor ; he was suffering then from tubercular disease ; ulceration of the glands followed, and he gradually sank and died on the 11th instant. In the case of Balk well it was stated that he was received from Exeter prison, under sentence of fourteen years' transportation in May last, having been convicted of two cases of burglary. He died at twelve o'clock on that day (yesterday) from continued fever, by which he had been attacked a few days previously. Fever still continued to be very prevalent in the prison, and several prisoners were now suffering under its effects. A verdict of "Natural death" was returned in both cases. On Wednesday night Mr. G. J. Mills held an in quest at the Fisherman's Arms, Old Oak Common, NVillesden, on the body of Edward Armstead, aged forty-five, a coach and harness-plater, of Cochrane terrace, St. John's-wood. It appeared that the de ceased had been in a very low and depressed state of mind, arising from the death of his wife, for whose loss he was inconsolable. He left his employment as usual on the evening of the 31 inst. to return home, but did not do so ; and early on the following morn ing his hat was found floating in the Junction Canal, at the above place, and on the morning of Monday his body was found near the same spot by some boat men, who, there is every reason to believe, stripped the body of a considerable sum of money, a pair of gold spectacles, and other articles which the deceased had about him, as a boy who was present when the body was discovered saw some of the articles taken by the men. There was no marks of external vio lence, and the jury, in the absence of further evidence, returned a verdict of found dead. Yesterday Mr. W. Baker held an inquest, at the London Hospital, on the body of Mr. Christopher J. Smith, aged 40. The deceased was the landlord of the Fountain public-house, James-street, Betlanal green. On Michaelmas-day last some alterations were in progress at his house, and he ascended a ladder which broke under him, and he sustained a compound fracture of the leg. He was taken to the above hospital, where he died on Tuesday last from the effects of the injury. Verdict, "Accidental death." Yesterday Mr. IV. Baker held an inquest at the Royal Mason, Poplar, on the body of a male person, name unknown. The deceased was found early on Tuesday morning last in the river Thames, off Black wall stairs. From the dress he appeared to be a sea faring man, about 35 years of age, stout built, with sandy hair and whiskers; he had a foul anchor im pressed on his right arm, and the letters K. B. on the left. He is supposed to be the person who fell over• board from the Dublin steam-packet in its passage down the river, on last Wednesday week, but in the absence of positive testimony a verdict of "Found dead" was recorded. Tan LATE FATAL ACCIDENT AT PORTSMOUTH.— The coroner's inquest upon the bodies of the unfor tunate victims of the gale on Monday, at Spithead, was resumed on Wednesday afternoon at four o'clock, when the following evidence was elicited :—Margaret Moore, the young woman whose life was saved by her Majesty's boat's crew, stated that herself and the other Party (whose names we gave on Wednesday) put off in a boat from the Portsea Strand about two o'clock on Monday, intending to go on board the Grampus frigate at Spithead, on board which they all had relatives or friends ; and that when outside the harbour's mouth, along the Blockhouse shore, reach ing towards the frigate, they became alarmed, and wished to return, but the apprehension not being general the wish of herself was not complied with, as the watermen said there was no danger. Whilst the salute was bein g fired by the fleet on the Queen pa s • sing, one of the watermen got up to shift . the sail, when a sea and squall took the boat and turned her over, all in her being plunged into the water. No help was near, an d t h ey dr i fte d some distance ; witness by means of a board out of the boat and one of the oars kept herself afloat until picked up by the royal barge.—Mr. Whitty, the Custom-house officer, deposed to picking up th e waterman Locke, as already described. Sam ue l U n d er hi ll, coxswain of her Majesty a yacht, deposed to his Royal Highness the Prince Consort's first seeing the extent of the S N 7 OCTOBER 13, 1848. veiled to and fro between the two towns during the day. The stations and eminences about Shrewsbury and Chester were crowded with spectators throughout the day. The line has for its object the opening out the mi neral districts of North Wales, connecting them with the manufacturi ng di s t r i c t s, as we l l as forming an improved communication between the estuaries of the Dee and the Bristol Channel. It was expected to be opened in August, but the wet weather retarded it. The line for upwards of sixty miles traverses the rich vale of the divisionary boundary of the principality, and of the western counties. Birkenhead may be looked upon as its main goods terminus. Besides embracing the agricultural districts of Shropshire, it is intended to furnish a new means of export to the vast mineral resources of North and Central Wales, the produce of the slate quarries, and the manufac turing commodities of Manchester, Liverpool, Ches ter, Oswestry, and other places. At present these have to be carried by a circuitous route of more than fifty miles. 1 t will likewise be a summer and plea sure line, leading to the watering places of Wales, to Llangollen, Aberystwith, and the most attractive scenery of the district. Arrangements have been made oy which passengers are to be cheaply con veyed every day from Liverpool and other places to these points. The line is made up of an amalgama tion of what were the North Wales Mineral line, and the Shrewsbury, Oswestry, and Chester Junction. It passes through four counties—Cheshire, Flintshire, Denbighshire, and Salup—commences in junction with the Shrewsbury and Hereford and Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway, passes through Oswestry, Chirk, Ruabon, and Wrexham, and terminating in junction with the Chester and Holyhead Railway at Chester. — The most striking work, as you traverse the line, is the great viaduct over the valley of the Dee, in the vale of Llangollen, which, in dimension, surpasses any other in the Kingdom. It is upwards of 150 feet above the level of the river, being 30 feet higher than the viaduct at Stockport, on the London and North Western, which has hitherto been considered the greatest work of the kind. Its length is 1,530 feet, or nearly one-third of a mile long, it is supported by 19 arches of 90 feet span ; it connects that part of the line between Rhos and Chirk. The viaduct which has been erected by Messrs. Brassey and Mackenzie, the contractors, has cost upwards of 100,0001. The works in general are substantially constructed, and, in consequence of the favourable nature of the soil, the line will be cheaply maintained. The next work of magnitude is the Chester station, next to the Derby station at Derby. It is one of the largest in the kingdom. It is a central point where several lines converge ; it has cost 100,0001., and is to be used jointly and paid for jointly, by the London and North-Western, the Shrewsbury and Chester, the Chester and Birkenhead, and the Birkenhead, Lan cashire, and Cheshire. The station at Shrewsbury is on a similar though less extensive scale, and will be paid for proportionally by the lines that enter there. The first return train for Chester would reach there at about nine o'clock. The public dinner, in cele bration of the event commenced as our express left. DUBLIN, THURSDAY Moaximn.—Yesterday after noon it was positivE ly asserted that the Government had dispatched to Clonmel the warrant for the exe cution of Mr. Smith o,l3rien, in pursuance of the sentence pronounced on Monday. In half an hour afterwards it was announced, in just as positive terms, that the sentence of death, with all its horrible ac companiments, had been commuted to transportation for life, and that the order for a respite had been dis patched to Clonmel. It is probable that both state ments are mere speculation upon the probable deter mination of the Government in the case of Mr. Smith O'Brien. Meantime public opinion, not to speak of mere sympathy, is most decidedly against capital punishment in this case, and all classes appear to have made up their minds that the unfortunate gen tleman will escape the extreme penalty of the law. The Cork Examiner states that an official intima tion was conveyed to the mother and wife of Mr. Smith O'Brien on Saturday, that "the recommenda tion of the jury was almost certain to be attended to by the Executive." UNION CANAL COMPANY. On Tuesday a general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held in Mr. Paxton's hall, Royal Exchange, for the purpose of considering and deciding upon a proposal to amalgamate with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company. Colonel 11`Donald, of Powderhail, occupied the chair. Mr. ELLIS read the heads of agreement between the Union Canal Company and the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company. These were to the effect that the two companies should be amalgamated, on the principle that the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company were to have the canal, and certain houses and offices necessary to the working of it; the canal company to retain all the other lands, property, feuing ground, &c., which, estimated at 20,0001., would be applied to the extinction of the debt. The railway company, in return, undertake to give 1,058 of their 1001. shares to the holders of the unburdened shares of the canal company, and 82 such shares to the holders of burdened shares ; and such stock to be issued to the shareholders of the canal company within one month after the passing of the Act for carrying this agreement into effect ; and which Act both parties bind themselves to apply for in the next session of Parliament. The rail way company are also to assume a sum not exceeding 95,0001. of the debt of the canal company. Sir Josh GLADSTONE of Fasque, moved that they should agree to the proposed arrangement, and remit it to a committee of management with instructions to carry it into effect. A SIIAREITOLDER said, before agreeing to the motion, he wished to have a little more information on the subject. He should like particularly to know if the Forth and Clyde Canal Company were decidedly hostile to this company ? The CHAIRMAN could not say that they were de cidedly hostile, but he had no cause to say that they were friendly. The same SHAREHOLDER said it appeared to him that if the Forth and Clyde Canal Company were not hostile, they might still be able as a company, to compete with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Rail way Company. The CHAIRMAN said, if it was wished to ask him whether or not any arrangement could be entered into with the Forth and Clyde Canal Company, he would at once say, decidedly not. In answer to a series of questions, The CHAIRMAN stated that, as soon as the Act was obtained, the stock would be issued to the holders of the burdened as well as the unburdened shares ; the shareholders to receive a dividend according to the amount of their stock; that this stock did not go to pay the interest on debt; that the Edinburgh Railway stock was valued, not at its present market price, but at 100/. ; that for every three canal shares, valued at 331. Gs. BJ., the canal shareholders were to receive a 100/. railway share. A SLIAREIIOLDER asked if there was any balance or surplus of revenue divisible among the share holders? The CHAIRMAN jocularly remarked that the less they asked about that the better.—(A laugh.) After some further discussion, the motion of Sir J, Gladstone, approving of the arrangement, was ap proved of, Mr. MILLER stating that, as the judicial factor for the heirs of some of the shareholders, he could not agree to it until he had consulted the bene- ficiaries. The meeting then adjourned.— Witness. ROCHESTER MUNICIPAL REVISION COURT.—We yesterday witnessed at this court scenes which we had , bel:eved c ou ld not poss ibl y h ave taken place in England. fo describe the disorder which prevailed throughout the proceedings is almost impossible ; people would never credit that spectat ors i n a court o f j ust i ce coul d poss ibl y be permitted, at this time, to indulge in all the boister ous ebullitions of the bear garden ; cheers, clapping of hands, stamping of feet, and frantic shouts of laughter, hailed every unusually intemperate expression of the Tory agent, whilst the Liberal agent and witnesses were subject to the most indecorous interruptions. Hooting, hissing, yelling, and threats of personal violence, were aimed at Page, the Liberal objector, and at some mo ments the Guildhall more resembled the arena of a priz fight than a calm, orderly, English court of justice. The members of the court seemed utterly helpless, and unequal to the slightest effort to preserve order or decorum. They would doubtless have been laughed to scorn by their own party if they had attempted it. A more disgraceful course of proceedings than those of yesterday it has never been our lot to see ; and, for the sake of public morality, and public confidence in the j▪ us tice seat, we hope it may never be witnessed again; yet, as the court are to sit day by day, we fear that there is too great a probability of its daily repetition.—Mai▪ dstone Gazette. LIGIITING BY ELECTRICITY. Last evening Mr. Pepper delivered a lecture on the "Physical Properties• of Light," at the Western Literary and Scientific Insti tution, Leicester square. After going . through . a great number of interesting experiments illustrative of the various modes of producing light by chemical combi▪ na tion, he proceeded to introduce the apparatus recently invented and patented by Messrs. Stait and Petri▪ e, for lighting by means of electricity. The lecturer stated that electricity, as was obviously proved in the case of lightning, was a natural element for .the production o f light; the great difficulty consisted in producing the necessary supply of combustible matter upon whi c h i t should act to produce the lumi▪ nous result. In the ma chine invented by Messrs. Stit and Petrie a certain and constant supply of charcoal was presented to the action of electric fluid, and the consequence was a continuous and brilliant light. The machine, apparently a very simple one, was then setinoperation, and although the flame was enclosed within a framework of paper, the effect was so dazzling as almost to be unbearable to the naked eye. Tho gas-lights with which th e t h ea t re was lighted were virtually extingui▪ shed, the only evidence le! their existence bang a red spot (the effect of the uncoil stun. d carbon), the light produced Ly the electric lighting machine being of the purest white colour. Th e l ecture was listened to with great attention by a crowd, d au:litory, who appeared to be greatly struck by the " new light" thrown upon their optical faculties. DEATH FROM TOBACCO.—An inquisition was holden at Coleford, on the body of John Evans. The surgeon stated he found slight traces of inflammation in the stomach, and a very strong odour of tobacco. It appears that the deceased smoked a great quantity— nearly half a pound per week, besides chewing A verdict was returned of " Died by the visitati:en God, accelerated by the excessive uie of tobaceo."—Dor seishire Herald. THE WRIT OF ERROR. The Cork _Examiner of Monday says— " The certificate was signed and sent to the clerk of the Attorney-General yesterday, and it is not expected that the Attorney-General will grant his fiat until the end of the week—perhaps Saturday. When a certifi cate bears the signature of experienced counsel, verifying the goodness of the plea relied on, the fiat is rarely, if ever, refascid.* The Tippoary Free Press says— It is currently reported that the trials o li f il ressrs. MX Manus and Meagher will terminate the Commission for the present, as several witnesses for the Crown in, attendance here—had - been subilotiinied- witnesses to' attend the trial of State prisoneri at the Dublin Com mission on the 20th instant, and that, consequently, the inquest at Clonmel will be adjourned to the 16th of December." The same authorities state that the Commission will cost 5001. a day, and suggests, as the proceedings are more national than local, that they should be charged upon the Consolidated Fund. STATE OF TIPPERARY. A Clonmel correspondent notices outrages com • milted upon the houses of some of the jurors in this county. To Bansha, the scene of the recent horrible murders, an additional police force was sent down yesterday. The expense of their support is to be leyied off the townland in which the murder was committed. The tax was to commence from Wed nesday. RESISTANCE TO POOR-RATE. The King's County Chronicle contains the fol lowing : " Mr. Armitage, collector of poor-rates, proceeded with a party of bailiffs, on Saturday last, to the - house of one Costoloe, in the immediate vicinity of this town, and demanded the amount of his rent. Costoloe said he had paid part of it to Mr. Salmon, the former col lector, and that he would now pay the remainder; but this would not do, as he could not show any acknow ledgment for having paid the rate, so the cattle were driven; but they had not gone far, when Costoloe and two or three wDrkmen pursued and overtook them before they reached the town, when a bloody conflict ensued in which a man named Tierney had his skull fractured, also Costoloe himself dangerously wounded, and John Hill, one of the driving party, had his arm nearly severed from his body by a blow from a reaping hook ; but, fortunately, no other serious injury oc curred, as the drivers decamped, leaving the cattle be hind them."

THE AMERICAN SY3IPATHISERS.—I am in a position to assuro you (says another correspondent), that pe remptory instructions have been received by the Awe.- rican Consul from the Minister in London, to insist upon the immediate release of the two American citi zens, arrested some weeks since on their landing in Ire land, and who have since been confined in her Majesty's gaol of Newgate. MEETING IN FAVOUR OF MR. O'BRIEN.—The Society of Friends have called a meeting for this day, to pro mote a public expression of feeling in accordance with the recommendation of the jury in the c.oe of Mr. S. O'Brien. . MR. MEAGHER'S TRtAL.—MR. P. O'DONOIIOE. Mr. Meagher will not be brought up for some days, as I mentioned to you in my last note. The Crown is still hunting fur evidence, not wishing again to produce Dobbin. The active pursuit they have been engaged in for the past week more than amply refutes the calum nies so industriously circulated against the peasantry, to the effect that they were tendering the informer's evi dence for the informer's wages in such crowds that the Crown knew not whom to select. Several most respec table persons have recently been summoned, amongst them a most respectable Protestant clergyman, to whom it was intimated that his evidence would be required, and that he probably has committed himself by some of the occurrences in O'Brien's and Meagher's presence to ' which he was a party. This was a little too much, for it so happened that the clergyman in question never saw Smith O'Brien till he saw him in the dock. Meagher he knew well, but O'Brien he never spoke to. He will not be one of the Crown witnesses. Mr. P. O'Donohoe will probably be arraigned to-mor row.' tThe Solicitor-General I:egins his reply at the opening of the court, after which Mr. Justice Duherty charges the jury. The jury cannot retire to consider their verdict before three o'clock. A rumour was prevalent through town yesterday evening that Mr. O'Mabony, for whose arrest a reward of 1001. has been offered, had been taken up on the North-wall by the police, while endeavouring to escape to Liverpool by ono of the boats leaving this port. — Freeman's Journal. SPECIAL COMMISSION. TRIAL OF DiPMANUS. CLONMEL, OCT. 11.—The Court sat this morning at halt-put nine o'clock, when the prisoner was placed at the bar. Mr. BUTT, Q.C., then proceeded to address the jury. After urging them to dismiss from their minds every thing of a prejudicial character, ho said the prisoner was a stranger in that county; but, if the jury deserved the character he had heard of them, then would he best consult the interest of his client by not flattering the dis tinguished Judges who presided over them, but to speak to them as became the advocate of a man's life. He would tell them again, that a preconceived opinion of guilt was not affording an accused man the benefit of the principle of British law. Ooe other principle which he asked them to bear in mind was, that no man could be convicted upon moral probability or presumptive evi dence. The rule was, that if the facts proved be con sistent with any reasonable supposition of the prisoner's innocence, they could not find him 'guilty. He would not undertake to satisfy them that his client may not have linked himself with designs which loyal men would say were not free from all blatnP; but if the evidence produced did not establish cl'.arly the tremendous crime charged in the indictment, and the precise charge speci fied, they should not find him guilty. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL here ateted it was the in tention of the Crown to rely upon the first five counts only, and that he would withdraw the sixth altogether. Mr. BUTT continued—lt was his (Mr. Butt's) wish, in defending his client, to tale his stand upon the most ancient and unquestionable authorities of the law ; and he would therefore tell them, not in his own words, but in those of the greatest legal authorities, the meaning of this statute of Edward the Third. Sir Edward Cuke, whose name was honoured and revered in the British law, stated that this statute has not only accurately de fined the charge, but the nature of the proof upon which alone a man can be attainted. It was to be observed, that the word used was " proveably" attainted—that was, by direct and manifest proof, and not upon conjec tural presumptions, or inferences, or strainings of wit, but upon good and sufficient proof. Hte(Mr. Butt) quoted this passage from Lord Coke, not to influence the jury in coming to a conclusion further than this, to call on them to try his client according to the law ; that law by which the Queen, who prosecuted in that case, held her throne, and by which alone the jury could be empanelled in that box to try the prisoner. By another statute it was necessary and indispen sable that every overt act of high treason must be proved by two witnesses; and therefore, if one man came on the table and proved a case of treason against the prisoner —although his evidence might bring con viction to their minds of the guilt of the accused—yet the law compelled them to find the prisoner not guilty. The offences charged against Lis client were spread through five separate counts. The first of them con sisted of a general charge of levying war, and tour dis tinct overt acts were set out in support of that charge.' The marching of an armed multitude of above 500 per sons through the country on a particular day in July last; the visit to the police barrack at Mullinahone; the erection of a barricade at Killonaule; and the attack upon the police at Farriarory. The jury were bound to take each act by itself, and say upon their oaths whether the prisoner h.A =el illy levied ear, a:.d their verdict pronounced on each act. They had Ow questions to try; first, how far the prisoner was con nected with the act charged as tre:isun; and secondly, how far that act amounted to a levying of war. The levying of war was an attempt, to subvert the law and the constitution. The levying of war must have been actually carried into effect. They should recollect that if a man formed a design of assassinating the Queen, and left his house for that purpose, but repented on the way, and did not carry his determination out, he was as guilty as if he had actually committed the deed. But the pre sent case was not of that. nature, for no intention, no conspiracy, no preparation of war would do, there should bo au actual levying of war, positively carried ca ire, h.-- am, ).--- di s. fer ;ow, and o. 2, Drth and of Ur& ilpith •mar- , the ifs of rland, ars' 1.

IRELAND. ~~ • to effect, to subvert the eonsitution. The defence was, a every act charged and proved c.gainst the prisoner was ferfectly reconcileable with Lis intending neiaing nore than to protect either himself or Mr. O'Brien iron arrest. They were net to inquire whether at a fistere period the prisoner intended to levy war, but e hether he did so at the actual time mentioned in the imuctment. The question fur them to try was; whether the insurrec tion had been directed to the attainment of a general olject of a treasonable character. He contended that the jury could not construe againt the prisoner what oc curred at Mullinahone by his speech at Liverpool. All the evidence adduced against him was perfectly value less, unless it fixed the character of the offence laid in the indictment, and, therefore, the speeches a t Liverpool, .or the letter of Mr. O'Brien, wero altogether riot only out of the case, but cal culated to mislead th e j ury, unless they referred to or bore upon the courts laid in the indictment. Suppose they were to believe that his client made a tree sellable speech at Liverpool. That was not the question they had to try. They must talatethte!.ngduicetsmtieonnttihnenthfeoirr hand—outside tt must not go; n(i h their consideration was, not did his client make such a treasonable speech, but did he levy war against her Ma jesty at Mullinahone ? What had the speech in Liver pool, of the 6th of June, to do with the explanation of transactions occurring in the county of Tipperary in July ? Nothing. With regard to his visit to D u b l i n, the facts connected with that visit were simply th ese . His object in coming was business alone ; but upon his arrival, finding that the Habeas Corpus Act had been suspended, and fearing that lie might be carcsted in Dublin, and therefore prevented from returning to Liver pool, ho quitted the city and proceeded to Ki.ksnny, to see how he could best make his escape from the country. That was an inference which he conceived might be fairly drawn from the fast that his tame was inserted in the proclamation contained in the Gillette of the 28th el July. Unfortusately, while there, he heard of Mr. Q'Brien being in the neighbourhood, and immediately jßted him to prevent him being arrested, or to resist such arrest if it were made with respsct to the occurrences which then took place. Two cries lions would arise for the consideration of the jury ; first, what was the design of those movements be fore M‘Manus's arrival; and secondly how far he adop ted that design or identified himself' with the principles which characterised it. It was his (Mr. Butt's) inten tion to rest his client's case on this, that his sole object throughout the entire of these proceedings was to assist in sheltering Mr. O'Brien and himself from arrest. Be yond all question, the suspension of tte Habeas Corpus Act, and the rumour that a warrant was issued for Mr..... 'Brien's arrest.; were the causes of . 41 . e mslancholy oc currences which followed. lid the news arrived in Dublin that the Bill was thrown out, was there a man in that court who mould hesitate a moment in sa3iug that 0 no outbreak would have taken place? If that were so, how could the jury believe that any insurrectionary pur pose existed in the minds of those men now accused of high treason? Where was the evidence of any general plan of insurrection —where of an at tsek made on a pro vincial town, or anything calculated to fasten on theSe movements the character of high treason? In the case of Emmett such did exist;, his intentions were manifest, fOr his plan was to make an attack on the Castle of Dublin which was, no doubt, treason of an intelligible character. Amongst his papers was found a list of the intended pro visional government; but it was not intelligible that any set of rational men would embark in a movement whose object was to subvert the country, and not leave the smallest trace of any plan for that which was to super sede it. It is certain that a large number of per : sons assembled at Mullinahone, 6,000 at least; and was not that sufficient to induce a rebel leader to place liteeself at their head, and raise the standard of revolt? What better auspices could a man commence a rebellion under than the possession of 6,000 melt? • The Prince - of Orange, who did subvert the Government, tended in Eng land, and had not 500 men to meet him, and yet be, suc ceeded. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to dwell on the circumstances which took place at Mullina hone, Killenaule, and Ballingarry, and concluded• by saying he felt that he was under many disadvantages • in addressing them, being a stranger in the enintey, and -not knowing the topics that were likely to have weight * with them. His client was there before them, far from his own home and country, to answer to those who knew nothing of his history, character, or con nexions. Ho (Mr. Butt) made no appeal to their feel ings; he felt that he laboured under the additional dis advantage of net addressing them on behalf of a man of their own rank in life; but, believing the jury he ad dressed to be Christian men, he was satisfied the case of this stranger would receive from them just as anxious a consideration as if they were trying She first nobleman in the land. The Learned Counsel then resumed his seat, and was applauded by the' audience in the gallery. The following witnesses were then called and exa mined for the prisoner:— _ _ _ Thomas LyOns—He was a merchant in the city of Cork, of which place he was first mayor under the Re form Bill!. He knew the prisoner, who was a coma is sion agent in Liverpool, and held a high and honourable character. John Carmichael examined—He was a merchant in Cork, and knew the prisoner, who was a forwarding agent in Liverpool, He was well known in Cork as a most respectable person. James Tidmarsh examined—He Was a grand juror of the city of Kilkenny, and knew the prisoner well. He had large mercantile tramactions with him, and always found him to be a man of the highest honour and of the strictest integrity. Robert A.Ciii : leton deposed that he was a trader, residing in Waterford, and knew the prisoner as the forwarding agent of their house in Liverpool. His dealings were always honourable, and from the respe ct entertained fur him he was the most rising forwarding agent in Liverpool. The prisoner was a native of Mi naghan, in the north of Ireland. Maurice Lenihan, Esq., proved that he was proprietor of the Tipperary Vindicator, and became a member of the 'B2 Club in 1845. The late Mr. O'Connell was a member, as was Sir Coleman O'Logblen, on whom he had seen the uniform. Sir Coleman O'Loghlea, Bart., examined—lie was ono of the Vice-Presidents of the 'S2 Club, of which Lord Cloncurry and Lord Firench were members. The uniform v‘as always worn at dinners of the club, and he frequently saw Mr. li'Manus at those dinners with the uniform. John George Hodges deposed that he saw the uniform last worn at the soirée given on the 15th of April to Mr. O'Brien, on the return of the deputation from France. Those who wore the dress were principally those called Conciliation Hall Repealers: Horace Fitzgerald, brother to the late Member for the county of Tipperary, proved his having seen Lis brother wear the uniform at dinner parties and bal!s, both in Dublin and elsewhere, and also by Mr. Roche, the re prcs( ntativefor the county Cork. _ _ - The case for the prisoner then closed, and the jury were addressed by Mr. O'Callaghan in a speech (24 siderable power. 'rne CHIEF JUSTICE said that was the time for the prisoner to address to the Court any observations which he might desire to make. • The prisoner said, I have nothing to say to the jury, my Lord, but to endorse all that has been already said by both my counsel. All I desire to say is, that I did not belong to any Chartist society. I pledgo my honour as a man that I never did. I never attended any of their meetings, nor was I connected with them in any E4pe or form; In consequence, however, of the lateness of the hqpr, and a cold caught by the Solicitor-General, his reply was postponed until the sitting of tho Court to-morrow morning. The Court adjourned at six o'clock. Notwithstanding the advice of Mr. O'Brien, in his letter to his agent, Mr. Potter, which appealelyetterday, several of the witnesses examined against him, and for the Crown, were assaulted and beaten severely on their return home. Informations have been sworn against the parties. CONSECRATION OF CHRIST CHURCH, HIGHBURY. Yesterday forenoon this neat and elegant little edifice, situated at Bighbury, was duly consecrated, together with its circumjacent burial-ground, by the Lord Bishop of London, who was assisted by about forty members of the clergy of his diocese. A nu merous and highly respectable auditory assembled in the church to witness the impressive ceremony, and many inhabitants of the neighbourhood congregated outside, for whom no room could be found within the walls of the sacr d edifice. At the conclusion of the solemn rite, the Right Rev. Prelate who performed it also preached the inaugural sermon, which was an eloquent and appropriate discourse, and was listened to with the most marked attention by the whole of the congregation. It may not be out of place here to state that Christ Church, Highbury, is a district church, and was built in order to remedy the long• felt inadequacy of the existing church accommodation for the increas ing wants of the neighbourhood. -Tr e requisife funds were raised by subscription, and the total cost is 6,0001. The building is about 110 feet in length, and contains seats for 800 persons. The style of its architecture is that prevalent in the 14`la century, Mr. I'. Allom (well known to the world as an artists whose engraved works of " Constantinople and the Seven Churches," and "Prance in the 19th Century," have gained considerable celebrity), being the archi • tect. The exterior is constructed of Kentish rag stone, with decorated Bath stone windows and quoins. The centre is of a novel form, being designed _with the intention of affording a view of the preacher and the communion service to the whole of the congrega tion. There is an organ screen of stone, and the pulpit and reading-desk are of the same material. The building is excellently lit, the principal windows being most beautiful specimens of stained glass. Tha edifice, both in its exterior and interior, are highly ornamented, but chastely so, presenting nothing that approaches to over loaded redundancy on the one hand, or that borders upon unseemly gaudiness on the other; and it is evidently in no small degree in debted for its very pretty and picturesque effect to the talented architect la::ving brought to his task the unusual advantage of previous extensive practice in the sister art of painting. INDIAN CORN.—Large importation! of Indian cora are now taking place from the United States of Ame rica.
