LADIES, during the heat and dust of Summer, will find ROWLAND'S KALYDOR a most refreshing pre paration for the complaxion, dispelling the cloud of languor and re. !fixation, allaying all heat and irritability, and immediately afford ing the pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity and healthful state of the akin. Composed of choice exotics of balsamic nature. Utterly free from all mineral admixture, and pleasing and delightful in its effects, ROWLAND'S KALYDOR tends to neutralise the 'action of the atmosphere upon the skin, and to promote that healthy action of the microscopic vessels, by which its general well being and the beauty of its appearance are so essentially promoted. Freckles, tan, spots, pimples, flushes, and discoloraticns, fly before its application, and give place to delicate smoothness, and the glow Of beauty and of bloom. In cs,des of sun-burn, or stings of insects, its virtues hAve long been ac'lmowledged.

Sunday was a beautiful day, clouded over towards evening. On Monday, much rain fell, and the wind rising, blew at length a strong gale from th e S .W., which made some work for the farmers, by scattering the shocks and thraves of both oats and wheat. These were blown down and scattered about; the oats, being lighter, were more generally thrown about than the wheat. In the neighbourho o d of this city various trees were either torn up by the roots, or huge limbs broken off them ; and the smaller trees suffered in pro portion. We saw a pear tree, heavily laden by thenwith fruit, of which the stem near the top was broken inforce of l the gale, aided by of thewasthoeu y5B degrees fruit. The maxi mum temperature fine, with slight Mondayweight Fah renheit. Yesterday morning the Me rse y and the I rwell were in heavy flood.

COMMITTAL OF A CHARTIST FOR SEDITION,—OR Friday George Webber, a notorious sedition-monger, from Halifax, was committed by the Bradford magistrates to York Castle, under a bench warrant, to take his trial at the next assizes for tittering seditious language at a Chartist meeting held on Toftshaw Moor, near Bradtord, on the 12th of June last. The prisoner had for a consithrable time been in con cealment, and he was one of the fourteen persons who were apprehended early on Wednesday morning last while in secret conclave at a so-called Temperance coffee-house in Manchester. DEATH OF A MEDICAL STUDENT.—Last after noon Mr. Bedford concluded, at the George the Fourth, Gilbert-passage, Clare-market, an adjourned inquest upon Joseph Witney, a medical student, who was be lieved to have poisoned himself at the " Elysium" wine rooms, Bridges-street, under the circurnstanee already stated. Dr. Griffin, of King's College Hospital, opened the body, ane3 gave it as his opinion the deceased's death was caused by prussic acid. Verdict—" Deceased died of prussic acid, but how it came into his stomach there was no evidence." SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS (PROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.) CHRONICLE.—AIthough we approve of the mode in which the House of Commons disposed, on Tuesday night, of Mr. Ilerries' attempt to induce his two-and-forty hearers to bind over their six hundred absent colleagues to a mortal discussion, in February next, of the Bank Act of 1844, it is from no desire to see the discussion of that measure evaded, to exclude from publicity whatever inculpatory statements are contained in the report made by one, and the evidence taken by each of the Houses of Parliament. Assuredly these documents deserve to be well sifted and considered ; and as supporters of the Act, it is our desire that this should be done. The principal grounds relied upon by the Right Honourable Gentleman for regarding the favourable verdict of the Select Committee as disentitled to weight, were first, that the composition of that body rendered it an unfair tribunal ; secondly, that its report was at variance with the bulk of the evidence; and, lastly, that the Committee of the House of Lords, whose Re port was framed, as he thught, more in accordance with that evidence, had directly condemned the provisions of the Act. In answer to the first charge much has been said already which it seems needless to repeat. The real ques tion is, whether a fair proportion of all who hold prominent views, or represent prevailing doctrines, have been ap pointed; and, above all, whether the Committee fairly re presents the entire body from which it derives its powers. Now, according to either of these tests, the composition of the Committee cannot fairly be impugned. Its majority comprised the principal financial members of the past and the present Administrations; but in its minority were the leaders or representatives of every sect and school of currency theorists known to the public. There were Mr. Wilson, Mr. Spooner, Mr. Cayley, Mr. Muntz, Lord George Bentinck, Mr. Disraeli, Mr. Hudson, and Mr. Herries himself. Again, that the ma• jority of the Committee perfectly represented the majority of the House, we apprehend to be beyond dispute. The debates in November last, and on subsequent occasions, have clearly manifested the state of opinion that prevails in the present Parliament. Under these circumstances, it appears not a little unreasonable to complain that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in forming his Committee, did not throw the balance of Members into the opposite scale. Next, as to the objection that the report is contrary to the evidence. If we treasure it by quantity it may be true; and the same result is nut unfrequent even in the trials of courts of justice, since the conclusion that is adopted is not that of the witnesses but of the jurors, who sift the testimony and adjudicate on its value. The most eminent and experienced statesmen of the country were selected as a tribunal to try the merits of the Act of 1844, with such information and assistance as the evidence of professional and practical men could afford them; but if the latter were themselves more competent to de•. cide the question than the wisdom of Parliament, the inves tigation by a Committee at all was a vain and cumbrous superfluity. We value and respect, as highly as Mr. Her ries can do, the intelligence and sagacity of those leading members of the trading community whose opinions are re• corded in the Blue-book, but we venture to doubt whether, after all, the practical man, as he is called, the professional banker, or the merchant immersed in business, however valuable witnesses as to facts, are the persons best qualified to form a sound legislative opinion upon the subjects in which they are interested. We do not consider lawyers the best judges as to what the law ought to be; we would nut be guided by naval men as to the policy of the naviga tion-laws, nor by schoolmasters upon the subject of nstional education. The report of the Lords' Com mittee was evidently drawn, as Sir R. Peel observes, by no friendly hand to the Act, for it implies an hostility which it does pot venture !o embody in any broad or efficient propo sition. Able, dexterous, and elaborate as the document is, it is stultified by its lame and impotent conclusion. After convicting the Act of a material aggravation of the panic of October, and arraigning its inefficiency to regulate the value of money, to restrain wild speculation, or to check the abuse of credit, it does not venture to suggest its repeal, or even its modification, except in one respect—a power of self relaxation, which was contemplated at one time by the au thors of the law themselves, but advisedly repudiated by them upon cogerit reasons. And to whom is it proposed by the Com mittee to entrust this power? Strange to say that after giving an implied, though negative, sanction to the principle of the set, which is avowedly founded upon a dis trust of the responsibility of the Bank of England, and after exhibiting fully in their own report, with quotations from the evidence to the same effect, that erroneous management of the Bank authorities which precipitated the crisis of April, 1847, the Committee have concluded in favour of vesting the dispensing power in the authorities of the Bank itself. If the statute is to be thus amended, and Mr. llerries should be disposed to bring in a Bill for that purpose early in the next session, we venture to suggest to him that an alteration in the title of the Act of 1844 is absolutely necessary, and we would propose the following amendment;—" An Act to re strict the Bank of England from extending its issues, and also for enabling the Bank of England to dispense with such restriction." POST.—No one disputes the adroitness of Sir Robert Peel as a Parliamentary debater. It will be observed that in the Right lion. Baronet's speech of Tuesday, upon the Currency Law of 1844, he commenced in a jesting tone, and talked for a considerable time upon what he assumed to be the reme dial plans of Mr. Spooner, and the theories of a Scotch gen tleman of the name of Homer, who died a great many years ago, and who is chiefly known to the present generation by a monumental statue in Westminster Abbey. Having done what he thought enough in this way, he endeavoured to bring the motion of Mr. Herries into discredit, by showing how few Members of the House of Commons attended to it. Ile had himself come down last Tuesday, in order to be pre sent at the discussion, and notwithstanding what had been said about the country feeling intense anxiety on the subject, he found only thirty-five Members present to listen to the discussion. On the evening on which he was speaking he bad again come down, and he found there were only forty-two Members present. Was it, he asked, to be for a moment supposed that a resolution carried by such a House would have any great influence with the country? The Right Honourable Gentleman said that when the time for discussion did arrive he would be ready to uphold the policy of maintaining all the restrictions of the Currency Act of 1844. Mr. Hume, a member of the Committee, declared in his place in the House on Tuesday night, that every fact brought forward was against the Act of 1844, and all the witnesses, with the exception of certain official persons in the Bank of England, were against it too. He denied that the report of the Committee of the House s o , f ,ood, Commons was entitled to the confidence of the pub. lie, and affirmed that had the truth been reported, it w ou ld have been to th e e ff ec t t h a t th e measure o f 1844, f rom w hi c h muchangd theoo good had d at be d e i n d arenatlielyipaagtegdravbyateSitrheße.viPlseellv, which it Wood, N ihssl ei rli s iietlicn i azh n .st t ihin e : ee n eoe d spwi e ud,r d cie?;:po t i eli o etseritd r ooat e eni m sdmpt oreenflond promise . so . dihtms eefis comes - 1 s i gra e stnti poothonuhtbeabtl will i hsju e ot t ae h mnd e i r nse e cx f u o ps r sl ea, asseveration require from measure f t h thate have n apparentlyh ebbeen re passeds edishonestnt.eehsdu session —an hu u e c —t whichexplanation prevented a h j a u tei s e t n a o n d in dependent judgment dgeut Committee w h i o e f h lnquir yweu lu person d directly ttlhye concerned conduct by u the affair—interfered in contempt of all the ordinary rules of justice. Sir Robert Peel is very ready to testify in favour of his own measure. Ho takes care, however, to say as little as possible about th e f acts which' really test that measure. " I firmly believe," he exclai ms , " that the restrictive clauses of the A c t o f 184 4 prevented the country from adding, in April last, to political panic the dangers of commercial pressure." Why s p ea k o f A pr i l ? It was not in April, but in October, that the action of the Currency Law of 1844 was telt. The Right Honourable Gentleman affects, when it serves his purpose, t o h ave muc h more regard for the practical than the theoretical. Wh y , then, does he bring forward his conjectures concerning April, while he keeps out of view the facts of last October. He supposes the case of 48,000,000!. of Bank paper being a fl oat c in the United Kingdom, with 15,000,0001. of bullion i n th e Bank of England. It was said, he remarked,. "that that no 15,0 8 0 a6 o,ootoh/i.nsgv.as The h d e ea i d sau w e e o ig t ht m o , f oo g o o , l o d oo lyzn w g a i a dle a , but it w a a t e s that the gold had been deposited, and the gold was a g 4B l7 o r o a o n , t o e c e ol. for t Looking in c g onv at ert t ib h i e litai aci n .l f ity the of w t r ia le co of uh t t h r ; to obtain credit, and looking at the evidence before them, he did not think that the restrictions of the Act of 1844 could prove injurious." We cannot be surprised, when we read such passages as this, that plain men shou ld sa y they really cannot understand Sir Robert Peel. How can a deposit of 15,000,000/. of bullion by any possibility be a guarantee for the convertibility into bullion of the whole of 48,000,000 1 . in notes? What can be more evident than that, if it he a guarantee at all, it is only a guarantee for six shillings in the pound. No doubt, under ordinary circumstances, it establishes a probability that the proportion of note-holders seeking payment in bullion will obtain it; but it is no guarantee. If a general rush for payment to ok place, it is clear that some would be paid in full and the greater number not paid at all, or that all would be paid at the rate of about six shillings in the pound. When the working of the Act of 1844 first came into dis cussion, the House was told (by Lord George Bentinck, if we rightly recollect) that it was a fair-weather measure, but utterly unfit for stormy times. It will not be easy to mend this account of it. So long as credit is abundant, and there is no pressure for money, the Act of 1844 has no ellect at all. As soon as circumstances call its provisions into action. then it becomes a horrible infliction upon the country, tueet likes e s suits h e Cite te r and places every branch of industry which is at all connected with credit. at the mercy of usurers. In other words, it con signs to ruin all industry which is dependent upon credit. h Phis is the character of the measure as proved by experience; he t -li referstestimony te ve of t experience iis tu s something with et hin regard athheuAt a t o gentlemanits v n h g . 0 . conveniencetu speak ef his of Sirbelief Robertd his s el t o conjecture.shirk all was o . dead and buried long before even g of 1819 was in existence.

The concert, both vocal and in strumental, gave the greatest satisfaction, and we need scarcely say that the fireworks were matchless.

DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING.—During the first trial of Mr. Kevin O'Doherty, at the Commission Court, last week, the solicitor-General, Mr. Hatcheil, made some observations in reference to strictures upon the conduct of the Attorney-General, which Mr. Butt, the counsel for the prisoner, looked upon as containing per sonal reflections upon himself. When the commission closed, Air. Butt, it is stated, made a communication, through a third party (Alderman H udson), requiring an explanation of those remarks. The Solicitor-General, it is said, gave a reply to the effect that he did not in tend any personal imputation whatever against Mr. Butt, and thus the matter has terminated. Mr. Butt has publ;slied the correspondence as follows: " THE STATE TRIALS.--MR. BUTT AND THE SOLI CITOR -GENERAL. • "TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVEIIaNG PACKET.'

" with respect to the words referred to by your letter as having •been used by me in speaking of the AttorneT-Gene ral in my reply in the case of John Martin, on Tuesday last, I have no hesitation in saying I did not intend to cast any imputation whatever on your professional conduct or character. " I have the honour to remain, " Your very obedient servant, Merrion-square. " JOHN HATCHELL. " Isaac Butt, Esq." port (where he was arrested); William Heap, and Peter Feeney, a clothes dealer. About two o'clock this morn ing, Joseph Spooner, a cabinet-maker, was taken, as he was entering his dwelling. Besides the above, there are others against whom warrants have been issued, and who have not yet been apprehended. All the prisoners were brought into court this morn ing, and, as might be expected, considerable excite ment was manifested. The mayor and a full bench of magistrates were present, also Captain Willis and Captain Sheppard. The town-clerk appeared on behalf of the authorities; the prisoners were defended by Mr. Roberts. Those persons who were arrested last week and bailed out, were first placed at the bar. Four of these (two of whom had been brought by officers from other towns) did not appear. The town-clerk said that since the prisoners were last before the bench the authorities had deemed it advisable to prefer an indict ment against all the prisoners at the bar and a consider able number besides ; in consequence of which true bills had been found against forty-six persons by the grand jury at the present Liverpool assizes. He should not have any evidence to offer before the magistrates on the charge on which they bad previously been brought befora them, as that charge had been preferred in another and more formal shape. As the prisoners were now in a different position, he should say that he hoped the court would take care to procure such bail as wculd se cure the appearance of the prisoners at the assizes. Mr. Roberts charged those parties who had brought the prisoners there with want of faith, a pledge having been given that they should know the nature of the charge brought against them, which pledge had not, he said, been fulfilled. He believed the preferring of the bill of indictment was for the direct purpose of prevent ing them from knowing the exact evidence.t Mr. Maude said the first course of the Bench would be to discharge the prisoners from their recognizances, and to discharge their bail. He asked that a list of the bail to:be offered for those under the bench warrants should set forth the names, occupations, and station in life of the parties. After considerable discussion on several points, the magistrates retired, and after an hour's consultation re turned, when Mr. Maude stated that as Mr. Roberts ap peared for all the prisoners, the rest of them need not appear at the bar. Looking at the aggravated charge, by which alone the Bench was guided, and the circum stances of the prisoners, the conclusion to which they had come was the following:—Mr. Burton to give bail in two securities of 2001. each, and his own recognizance. for 400/. The bail and sureties for the rest varied from 200/. to 25/. Mr. Burton's bail was given on the spot, and he was discharged. FIVE o'CLocK.—No other prisoners have been taken to this hour. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Admiral Sir William Hall Gage, G.C.H., Commander in -Chief, struck his flag at Devonport on Monday, and has arrived in town, to attend the medal committee as sembled at the Admiralty. Rear-Admiral Superin tendent Sir John Louis, Bart., attends to the duties of the port during Sir William's absence. Sir C. Napier's squadron remained at Cork on the 20th. Neither the Pilot nor Tweed had joined, but were expected that day. We have much pleasure in announcing that the Ad miralty have promoted Mr. Bellamy, Assistant Master Attendant of Portsmouth Dockyard, to be Master At tendant at Woolwich Dockyard, vice Elson, deeeased. This selection of their Lordships reflects the greatest credit on them for their discrimination and impartiality. Mr. Bellamy's promotion is purely one for merit, and their Lordships in appointing him, not only reward a most highly deserving officer, but they secure thereby the efficient performance of the most responsible duties at a dockyard port. Mr. Bellamy, it will be recollected, was associated with Mr. Watts, now one of the surveyors of the navy's assistants, in getting off the Sphinx, steam-sloop; and, in fact, had charge of the most perilous portion of the work. Captain Caffin was promoted mainly for his partial assistance in this enterprise, and Mr. Watts was also promoted for his services on this occasion. Their Lordships have now done justice to Mr.:Bellamy in taking the first opportunity of promoting him. It will not be forgotten that Mr. Bellamy ren dered moat valuable and successful assistance in getting off the Great Britain steam-ship from the rocks at Dun drum Bay. The appointment of the store-receiver at Deptford dcckyard, vacant ~by the decease of Mr. Pembrook, has been conferred on Mr. Wilcox, the chief clerk of that establishment ; and Mr. Peddle, of Deptford, has been promoted, vice Wilcox. There were numerous candi dates for this appointment, both for the paymasters' and pursers' list, S and from one or two departments at So merset House; but Lord Auckland observed in this case the same rule as he din :2 1 filling up the vacancy of store keeper at the Royal wii i „:m Victualling-office some time since, by conferring a doi;.kYard promotion on a dockyard officer. ppo L nted chaplain The Rev.

The Monkey steam-vessel went down the river yester day morning with Mr. Bellamy, Assistant-master At tendant at Portsmouth Dock-yard, and part of the men who brought round the Gleaner steam-vessel. Mr. Bel lamy took the charge of the Termagent steam- frigate, and was to try her with canvas and steam to-day, and, if she was found perfect, navigate her round to Ports mouth. The Monkey returned in the afternoon, towing the Adventure transport store-ship to Woolwich. The Monkey lett Woolwich again this morning, with orders to stop the Sharpshooter steam-vessel, the latter to be taken into Sheerness instead of to Woolwich, as pre : - viously ordered. The Monkey, on arrival at Sheerness, towed the Ganges to that port. The Myrmidon steam-vessel was in Wick Bay on the north coast of Scotland on Friday last, on her way to the coast of Shetland, to protect the fisheries in that quarter. WOOLWICH DOCKYARD BRIGADE.—The whole of the artillery and infantry companies of the dockyard batta lion assembled in uniform on the parade ground, at three o'clock P.M. yesterday, and marched to the en trance of the Royal Arsenal, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Lang. When they arrived there the artillery companies proceeded on to the Plumstead Marshes, for practice with six 9-pounder field battery guns, each served with 14 rounds of shot, Major Jenkins commanding. The practice range in the Marshes, being comparatively free of vessels in the river, the men im mediately commenced firing, and made excellent prac tice, seven shots out of the three first rounds striking the target at 750 yards' range, and No 6 gun in the fifth round knocked down the target. The eight compa nies of infantry entered the Royal Arsenal under the command of Major Mouchet, and eight targets being set up at the butt, the men made good practice, completely riddling the targets, showing that mechanics make ex cellent marksmen when instructed in the use of either arge or small arms. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, WEDNESDAY. The Queen and Prince took their usual early walk this morning, and the younger branches of the Royal Family walked and rode in the grounds at Osborne, as well as the illustrious visitors at present remaining at Osborne. The royal dinner party yesterday included her Royal lligh ness the Duchess of Kent, Lady Anna Maria Dawson, and the Baroness de Speth. The Queen will hold a Privy Council to-morrow (Friday), the 25th inst., at her Majesty's marine residence, Osborne, Isle of Wight, at one o'clock in the afternoon. Summonses were issued yesterday from the Privy Council-office to the Ministers and Officers of State. Mr. John Thornton (Deputy• Chairman of the Stamps), Mr. Peacock ( Solicitor to the Post-office), and Mr. Timm (Solicitor to the Legacy Duty-office), had interviews with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, yesterday, at his official residence in Downing-street. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY, AUG. 23. ine Peninsular and Oriental Steam NO.Vig&tioll Company's steamer Montrose, Captain Bowen, with the mails from Gibraltar, Cadiz, Oporto, Lisbon, &c., is expected to• night or to-morrow. The American barque Hebron, Captain Hart, with 2,735 boxes of sugar from the Ha vannah, and the American barque Emily Taylor, Captain Claussen, with 615 hogsheads of tobacco, from New Or leans, arrived off Cowes yesterday for orders. A NOVEL DEFENCE. —A man was brought up on Monday, at Preston, charged with having been drunk, and creating a disturbance in the previous week. He hoped the bench would pardon him as he had only been attending a temperance tea-party, and land had a little drop too much. FRENCH GRAIN.—The steam-ship James Watt, from Havre, has brought 200 sacks of flour, and 26 of maize or Indian corn. This is one of numerous , arrivals z, of grain t and flour which have_xecentiv taken 'place ir [PRICE SD. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTIT,II TO T REE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday more ani mated, but holders sold willingly, and prices were barely sup ported. Sales 5,000 bales, The Railway Share market had been more buoyant, although there was not much done. Private letters received from Canada state that the French party, with Lafontaine at their head, being in power, now show themselves in their true light as the weakest and most vacillating set of men that ever presumed to govern the country. One writer expresses his sorrow that Lord Elgin is so much under their control that he does not even invite to his table parties who might be objectionable to them. After all, however, we think some allowance should be made for the difficult position of his Lordship. Other objections are also urged, but in giving them, we do so without being sufficiently fortified with facts to com pensate the want of local experience. The commercial letters written by some parties advert to the gradual diminution of the revenue of the province, with its fixed liabilities, and it is contended that the difficulty arises from the defective ad ministration of the financial affairs of the colony, which the issue of floating debentures undertaken by the Government, and to be received in payment of taxes and duties, will only temporarily relieve; while ultimately tending to a derange ment of the provincial currency, by becoming depreciated, then speculatively taken up by capitalists, and imme diately paid in for duties, &c. Our correspondent says that this will add to the commercial embarrassments, and cause a diminution of so much sound currency. Canada, he goes on to remark, wants a strong practical Government, composed of men of position and character, whereas the French Canadian Government is most unpopular. We have culled portions of the letters that have been shown to us, because everything from private sources, which tends to throw light upon thsvdministration of colonial affairs, is in these times important. Whether the views expressed be correct and impartial, those most conversant with Canadian affairs will be capable of judging, but oftentimes a political explosion occurs, in some distant possession of the mother country, before the generality of readers have even heard of the existence of discontent. The accounts from Paris are still of a comparatively unin• teresting character in regard to financial matters, which no one can judge of beyond the time present. The collection of the revenue must be progressing, or there could be little prospect of the Dividends being paid upon the Public Debt. It cannot be denied, judging from the votes in the Assembly for the liquidation of the Greek claims, the compensation of slave owners in the West Indies, &c., that the French representatives are desirous of maintaining good faith with their creditors, and although we disapprove of the measures adopted, :in the matter of railways, whereby parties who in tended only to make an investment in a company are coin • pelled to become Government Stock holders, we must make some allowance for the crisis that has overwhelmed France, and from which nothing but her own sense of honour and her determined energy could enable her to emerge. It would be well, indeed, were Spain, Mexico, and other nations upon which the English bondholders have claims, to imitate in this respect at least, the conduct of France, hut the pro ceedings of the Mexican Congress leave but little hope of such a course, for now money is coming into possession of the country, obtained, too, by unusual means, the United States indemnity, the Republic, like to many others in South America, no more pleads poverty, but actual disin clination to reduce its debt. Something, we trust, however, may yet be done to shame it into honesty. There is nothing later from Denmark, but the steamers leaving England for Hamburgh have resumed the convey ance of cargo. No conclusion can be arrived at from what took place in Parliament last night as to the amount which Government may need for the relief of Ireland, and although the accounts received from Dublin are better, much interest and some anxiety are expressed for the details of the budget. The finer state of the weather has given strength to the market for the public securities, and as politics abroad are apparently more settled, and satisfactory explanations were given in the House of Commons last night upon the views of Government, as respected Naples and Sicily, the disposi• tion among speculators, especially if the doubt concerning the Government monetary requirements were satisfied, is rather to operate for a rise than a fall.

The Dublin Evening Post contains the following ac count of evictions in Meath:— " The sheriff attended at Clondoogan on yesterday (Aug. 16), accompanied by a numerous police force, and levelled to the ground seventeen houses, sending the un fortunate inmates, eighty-four in number, adrift upon the world. _ " The following are the names of these wretched creatures: —Charles Ash, wife, and five children ; Edward Morris, wife, and two children; Thomas Brennan, wife, and seven chil dren; Michael Fitzsimons, wife, and five children; Patrick Salmon, wife, and one child; Richard Hannon, wife, and three children; Mary Fegan and child; Henry King, wife, mother, and three children ; Edward Murphy, wile,_ and seven children ; Widow Kelly, two children ; Widow White, two children; Patrick Stones, wife, and two chil dren ; Bridget Shauness, five children, deserted by her hus band ; Widow Connell, two children ; Widow Gilligan, two children; Richard Gilligan, wife, and two children; Patrick Monaghan, wife, and two children ; Widow Johnson, two children. " I should feel obliged by your giving publicity to the above statement. I pledge myself to its accuracy. The last account from the recent scene of insurrection in Tipperary is the following:— " EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM BALLINGARRY.—MON DAY, AUG. 21.—We had a violent gale here last night. It rained incessantly. Nearly the whole of the tents of the 74th Regiment were being blown down— even the mess-tent, which was well secured, could not withstand the violence of the storm. Although the country is apparently tranquil, still few arms are delivered up. The encampment is ex pected to be struck in eight or nine days." THE HARVEST. The weather continues better, but still far from settled. The reports of the grain crops are, in many instances, very discouraging; but the injury caused by t he rain is only partial. Th potato blight is still making progress. At the Dublin Corn Market there was an advance on all kinds of grain, and the new wheat at market to-day %as indifferent in quality. CHARTIST DISTURBANC ES. At a full meeting of the Somera-town Chartists, the following resolution was adopted:— Resolved—" That this meeting, being convinced of the truth and justice of the principles contained in the document called the People's Charter, and believing that its recognition as the basis of society would effect not only the political emancipation, but also the social amelioration of the toiling masses, we therefore cannot but express our deep and heartfelt regret that this sacred cause should be damaged and brought into odium and contempt by the insane conduct of a few (no doubt honest, but) misguided and unthinking men, who allowed themselves to be stimulated on by those who were actuated by the most vile and basest of motives, and as we, the Chartists of Somers -town, have never counte nanced or been connected as a locality with the proceed ings alluded to in the evidence, of the informer Powell, we consider it to be our imperative duty to protest against all secret proceedings, and we hereby repudiate, denounce, and condemn the conduct therein detailed, as subversive to the great cause of progression and liberty, this meeting being conjtiodHenNtlymotfisio(p)iTnTioinstehearettainryce.n diarism, anarchy, and bloodshe d will never eventuat e i n redressing the wrongs or achi ev i n g the rights of t h e working classes." lee r dt e a s k t o eu ( ) n i t 1 tual agirssrateeirswnst FRESH ARRESTS OF CHART ISTS FOR FOR CONSPIRACY.
