In the present eventful state of Ireland, the Committee of the Irish Society •f London would call the attention of the public to the beneficial results of the Society's labours in that country, and would earnestly appeal for increased support, to carry out the objects which it has in view ; and while they by no means undervalue the efforts which are being made, whether by legislation or by private enterprise, to improve the temporal condition of Ireland, the Committee feel convinced, from much ex perience, that all the remedies proposed must prove unavailing, un less, at the samo time, measures are taken to elevate the moral character of the Irish peasantry by means of religious instraction. Tire Irish Society labours in the native districts, where upwards of 3,000,000 of the population speak the Irish language. There are now 800 teachers connected with it, who instruct the native Irish in reading the Word of God. Since the commencement 200,000 individuals, chiefly adults, have thus been taught to read the Scriptures, many of whom embraced the Protestant faith. One hundred and eight Scripture readers are employed, who r^ad the Irish Bibles in the cabins, or to groups of the peasantry at work in their fields, or by the real side. Seven Irish-sneaking clergymen are in connexion with the Society Who read the Liturgy, and preach the Gospel in the:native language. Ten congregations of converts have been raised up, or are now ministered to through the instrumentality of the Society. Two of these are in the count/ of Galway, two in the county of Cork, and nix in 'Corry. ManT,Roman Catholics, not included in those distinct congrega "tiens; hive been brought, through the blessing of Almighty God upon the Society's labours, to renounce the errors of Rome, and are : wpow incorporated with old Protestant congregations. ~,,Some groups of converts who have been instructed by the Society &reeking for Irish clergymen to be located amongst them. In various places crowds of Roman Catholics attend Protestant • churches and school-houses, where an Irish-speaking clergyman has been announced to preach. One clergyman states : " , In the Cathedral of L--• I .reached on Wednesday evening. The ohurch was filled, the Roman Catholics standing up to the reading-desk, and outside the doors. At D--, on Sunday night, there, had we a place large enough, we might have had many hun dreds of Romanists ; as it was, we had a goodly number, and those Who were obliged to stand outside the window occasionally requested that I would speak up, so as they might hear." Another writes " I had a most interesting tour through the C— Irish districts. I preached 20 sermons, in Irish, to over 2,000 in all. I may count that 1,000 were converts, 500 Romanists, and 500 old Protestants. One poor man, who was not hearing me, heard so much about the sermon from others, that he said lie would ' come to hear the next sermon, if the priest would roast him in the fire for it.' Many a poor creature from the heart said, 0, when will you come again sir ? Alas ! that we hav'nt an Irish ministry. " Such are some of the results of the Soeiety's proceedings ; but the committee would allude to one more, of considerable importance at the present time, and that is, that wherever the native Irish have been instructed by the Society, they have become loyal subjects of our Queen, and abstain from all connexion with the treasonable practices and illegal associations which are so hostile to the peace and prosperity of the kingdom. The Committee have made diligent inquiries upon this subj set, and the replies to their inquiries have been highly satisfactory. The following are extracts from one letter out of upwards of twenty of the same character received by the Committee : " I affirm it as a fact that could not be contradicted, that out of the thousands in Ireland connected with the Irish Society, that none of them are connected with illegal associations, er with that dan gerous agitation now se formidable, and hostile to Ireland's best interests. Our teachers and pupils are almost entirely friendly to British connexion ; they have felt Rome's spiritual tyranny, and they believe, if the union with Great Britain were dissolved, that both spiritual and political! tyranny would become intolerable." And there are not a few instances of members of Ribbon or other illegal associations having been converted through the instrumen tality of the Soolety, and now employed in teaching their country men to read the Word of God. Au indvidual who lately visited a congregation of converts in one Of the wildest districts of the west, remarks : " When I entered the cabin, the whole congregation rose, seeing a stranger with a Bible in his hand, and gave me a hearty wel come, crying out' Cead Mille Failthe,' Cead Mille Failthe.' They were orderly in their cenduct, and deeply attentive to the Word of God. I was especially pleased with the demeanour of two indivi duals, and not a little gratified at afterwards hearing their story. One had been a celebrated and lawless pugilist, the other the leader of a Ribbon Lodge, both of them daring characters in the neigh bourhood; but through the mercy of God they met with the teachers Of the Irish Society, they were instructed in the Scriptures, and flow, from their respectable appearance and general conduct, as well trona the change which has taken place, they might be described in the language of inspiration, Sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and is their right mind.' One of them is the owner of Scripturetheeabin where the congregation w as assembled—the other, the Header employed in the district." To extend these benefits , u nder the blessing of God, amongst the Irish-speaking part of the population the present appeal is made. It is acknowledged by all parties that something niust be done for IrefAnd ; and without limiting the measures which may be devised by the benevolent, the Committee of the Irish Society of London Would respectfully suggest that religious instruction should have a prominent place amongst them. It has succeeded in the Protestant districts of the north of Ireland, Which are as free from crime, disloyalty, and pauperism as any parts Of England, and where industry and order flourish to a remarkable degree. It has succeeded, under the blessing of the Most High, in those native districts and localities where the inhabitants have been instructed by the teachers of the Irish Society, in which crime, sedi tion, and animosity have given place to peace, to loyalty, and goodwill. Ana na,y etiould it not succeed upen a greatly extended scale ? It IS a measure -which th. hAltevii Clod will surely bless. There is a prom se wSigil IVElltrii - A l l4 is remember, and in humble reliance upon which they carry on the work committed to their charge—" My word• • ....shall not return lints me void ; but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." That " word" when blessed by God the Spirit, will teach even the most Deluded of the Irish peasants to " submit to every ordinance of matt for the Lord's sake." It will inculcate industrious habits—" if any would not work, Wither should he eat." employment p thus loy e v h e t an o • It will produce a respect for life and and .m p t r a o l pe a r o t h a e n oppor tunity for the introduction ca pi, the people at home, enabling them to support themselves, instead of being a burden to others. It will be the iure remedy for treason d rebellion—" Fear God —honour the king—and meddle not Wit an h them that are given to change." Above all, it will teach them the way of eternal salvation, through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.--John iii. 16, 17. — Acts iv. 12. The inhabitants of England, Wales, the Highlands of Scotland, and of the distant colonies, all hear, in their own tonne, the won derful works of God; and the Committee make this appeal to the Christian and benevolent public, that they may be enabled to send to the 3,000,000 of the native Irish, religious instruction in that lan- Mutge which they can understand.

Jr, R 2, 1848. [PaicE SD. IRELAND. DunuN, MONDAY.—A man, of the name of Fitz gerald, was arrested in the police barracks, near Thurles, with an " Address to the People of Ireland," signed " Shanarest," calling on them to rescue Mr. Smith O'Brien. The fact of his walking into the police bar racks with such a document in his possession would go to prove that he was either mad, or an agent of the con stabulary. basil - LAW CHANGES.—The Evening Pachet states that a measure is in contemplation with a view to abolish the equity jurisdiction of the Court of Exchequer in Ireland, and to transfer it to the Court of Chancery. As a measure of economy the proposition has, we believe. been brought under the consideration of the Treasury authorities, and has met with their approbation. Ru tnour has already selected an eminent equity lawytr, now upon the Exchequer bench, as likely to be the first occupant of the Vice-Chancellor's seat. , POLITICAL REFUGEES.-Mr. Joseph M. Rivers, of broughney Castle, county Kilkenny, has arrived in France, and is now in Boulogne-sur-Mer. Mr. T. B. Ryan, of Liscahill, has arrived in France, and is in Bou logne. Mr. John Farrell, of Carick-on suir, and his family, have arrived at Havre, with the intention of pro ceeding to America. d' the time of the Court) between the 80. .al and Mr. Batt, who was taxed by the having appealed to the political prejudices Mr. Butt . 41fnted the aspersion with ,h. a• intimated that it considered Mr. Butt had fischarged his duty properly. The SOLICITOR GENERAL said his observations were intended for the jury, and were not offered as personally offensive to the Learned Counsel, who thereupon apolo gised, and the Court rose. SPECIAL On Wednesday evening last, a public dinner was given to the working men who acted as special constables in the immediate neighbourhood of Peckham-rye. The dinner, which consisted of good substantial roast and boiled joints, together with vegetables, and the truly English dish plum pudding, took place at the Bull Tavern, High-street, Peckham ; and we feel bound in justice to the worthy landlord, Mr. Bird, to say, that the dinner and attention shown to the guests, would have done no discredit to the London Tavern. At half--past six Mr. Josiah Evans took the chair, the vice chair being filled by Mr. T. Weston, jun., of the Stock Exchb.nge, surrounded by upwards of 70 fine healthy specirm ns of English farmers, men whose stalwart limbs and honest countenances formed a most pleasing picture. Atter grace had been said, a vigorous attack was made, not on the Chartists, but upon the excellent viands. After the removal of the cloth, the chairman gave, in a most em phatic manner, the health of " The Queen," which was drunk with an enthusiasm that made the welkin ring, and which was followed by the National Anthem, which was sung in good style. Then followed the usual loyal and patriotic toasts. The Chairman then gave the healths of the special constables of the Camberwell district, the special constables of other divisions present as visitors, the health of 0. Strong, Esq., Col. Robinson, who commanded the Camberwell divison, and the other magistrates of the district, and thanks to tm for the judgment and energy with which they acted; the healths of Captain Warden, Captain Hamilton, and the com mittee who superintended the dinner. The health of the Chairman of the evening, Mr. Josiah Evans, was then drunk in true English style, and he returned thanks in a special manner for the special honour done him, assuring the meeting that he should ever feel a special gratification in having met his neighbours on such a special occasion. The health of the Vice-Chairman was then drunk with great enthusiasm, to which he replied in a very feeling manner. On the health of Mr. Bird, the landlord, being drunk, that gentleman said, that being a family man himself; he could feel for those who had families; and, as the wives of the specials had not dined with them on this special occasion, he would have special pleasure in distributing the viands left from the dinner among their wives to-morrow, at twelve o'clock. This announcement was received with tremendous ap plause. Great credit is due to Mr. Weston, jun., for his exertions in obtaining the subscriptions &c. Each of the worki ng men were supplied, in addition to their dinner, with three pints of good beer, and pipes and tobacco; and we never saw men conduct themselves better, or enjoy themselves more. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY. Prince Albert, attended by Mr. G. E. Anson and General Bowles, left Windsor Castle this morning, at a quarter before nine o'clock for London, travelling by a special train on the Great Western Railivay. His Royal Highness returned to the Castle at two o'clock. The Earl and Countess of Clarendon took their departure from the Castle to-day. Lord Camoys has relieved the Earl of Listowel in the duties of Lord in Waiting to the Queen, and Sir Edward Bowater has relieved Captain the Hon. J. Denman in his duties as Groom in Waiting to her Majesty. _ The royal dinner circle this evening includes her Serene Highness the Princess of Hohenlohe Langen burg, and the Princess Eliza of Hohenlohe Lane genburgl - The Queen's private band performed yesterday evening, in the Castle, the following pieces : Overture—" Le Dieu et la Bayadere" (first time) .. ... Auber. Quartetto, No. I—Allo. con brio, adagio affettuoso ad appassionato, scherzo alio. molto, allegro—(two violins, viola, and violincello : Messrs. Sainton, Nickel, Hill, and H. Chipp).. Beethoven. Andante and Rondo . Hummel. Amalien Walzer (first time) Her Majesty's private band attend this evening in the Castle. Prince Albert arrived at Buckingham Palace shortly before ten o'clock yesterday morning, attended by Mr. G. E. Anson and Major-General Bowles, and afterwards proceeded to Somerset House and presided at a Council of the Duchy of Cornwall. His Royal Highness left early in the afternoon on his return to Windsor Castle. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge visited her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester yesterday, at Gloucesterglouse. The School of Design had a meeting yesterday at the office of the Board of Trade. The Earl and Countess of Clarendon returned to their residence, the Grove, Watford, yesterday, from Windsor Castle. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial , office—from_ the Governors of the Norti'— POST -OFFICE RODEERIES.—The present rage for economy vents itself as usual upon those servants of the public who really do the work, and those unfortunates-6- the postmen—who occupy the most ill-paid post under Government, are trying to make both ends meet, by coolly taking all the money forwarded by letter, as vo luntary contributions to the public to an ill-paid class of officers. Instead of the highwayman's cry of " Stand and deliver!" the exclamation of the postmen to a money. letter, is, "Come, come, y ou must stan d something, or I won't deliver you at all." Post-office robbery is now such a common occurrence, that to put a piece of money into a letter is equivalent to subscribing it for the relief of the under-paid postmen of the metropolis; and when our " vile dross" does not go safe to its destination, we are fully aware that the mistake has not arisen " by any misdirection," but by the letter-carrier having carried things a little too far, and paid more regard to the spirit than to the letter, in the view he takes of what is due to him for his arduous services. Considering the shabby remuneration of this class, we are not surprised at the old saying of" not worth a rap," which clearly means a postman's rap; and we trust that, for the sake of the victimised public, as:well as for the good of the wretched functionaries themselves, this rap on the knuckles may tend to an increase of their legal salaries.—Punch. INLAND NAVIGATION AND RAILWAY MISSION.— Last night the 11th anniversary meeting of the friends and supporters tot' this society, which was founded for the purpose of diffusing religious instruction amongst the numerous classes of persons employed on, and con nected with, rivers, canals, and railways, was held at the Boatmen's School. room, in Macclesfield -street, City road. The Rev. Dr. Cox presided. The Rev. J. T. Jeffery, the secretary, read the report of the operations of the society, which stated that the :recorded visits to railway labourers, boatmen and bargemen, and their families, during the past year, were 13,543, being an in crease f nearly 5,000 on the previoas year; and 250,000 religious tracts and cabin tablets had been distributed, besides Bibles and Testaments: 73 water families had been supplied with school books, and 335 Bibles and Testaments had been placed among the cabin stores of canal and river craft, with the most beneficial results. The receipts amounted to 3511. 6s. 10d., including 1001. in band to meet expenditure of schools at Wolverhamp ton and London. The expenditure exceeded the amount of receipts by 171. 1 ls. 6d. The report having, been adopted, the chairman and several other gentlemen ad dressed the meeting. A vote of thanks was then passed to the chairman, and the meeting separated. CLEANING ON FALLOW LAND.—Although the sys tem of farming has now been so far improved as to render the cleaning of fallow land an easy matter compared to what it once was, still there is a good deal to be d one i n this way in many places. Permit me to offer a few re marks upon this head, suggested by the present fine weather, which I trust will continue for some time to come. The labour attending the cleaning of land in the spring, for the purpose of green crops is often of a very laborious and tedious nature, and time can often so ill be spared for it, that the work is performed imperfectly. This is particularly the case when the weather is wet in spring. The plan I suggest is, to give the land intended to be green cropped a very slight furrow as soon as the present grain crop is removed, and the whole completely grubbed and harrowed, to bring up the weeds to the surface, which should be instantly gathered and carried nff to the compost heap; instead of being consumed by burning, as the system of some is, who forget that what is bad in itself may very often be turned into good by judicious manag ement. When this has been accom plished, and the bulk of root weeds removed, let the land have a good deep furrow to lie over winter, and the labour in spring will be more than half-lessened; besides, the ground will to rendered more permeable to the in fluence of the winter's frost, and consequently better suited to yield a profitable return in its season. Let the system once be tried and I doubt not that it will soon be come common from the fact of its proving a remunerat ing plan.—Cor. of Ayrshire Agriculturist.

MOSES, don't decline An humble tribute, such as mine ; Nor scorn the vain attempt I make To follow in your poet's wake. For though I don't profess to bo A poet of the first degree, I think I've got sufficient tact To tell the public how you act; And here a compliment is due, Namely, that all I say is true. You, Messrs. MOSES I would choose To occupy my humble muse ; Nor could I think of doing less, On looking at your WINTER DRESS. The last new Overcoat I bought Is good in cloth, and firmly wrought ; And then the style which it discloses, Does credit to you Messrs. MOSES. And this applies to all the rest, The Coat, the Trowsers, and the Vest. I said the instant that I bought 'en), They're just the very thing for Autumn, And really, Messrs. MOSES, that's My notion of your WINTER HATS. And though I'm not a man that flatters, I do pronounce you first-rate Hatters. Yoar Hats are firm, though light—if not, I certainly don't know what's what. And if not stylish and elastic, My lines have nothing Hudibrastic. These, Messrs. MOSES, are my views, With reference to your BOOTS AND SHOES. They're good in style, and make, and leather, And, Sirs, I like them altogether. I bought a pair just six months back, Which never yet have shown a crack. My lady says the same of hers, And praises up your WINTER FURS. She bids me say she never wore A better Mantle, Muff, or Boa. My lady often tells me, Sirs, MOSES and SON'S are famous Furs. Nor do our notions disagree Witk reference to your HOSIERY. The quality of such a stock Is such as nobody can mock. I wish I'd space to call attention More fully to the goods I mention. I'm much surprised at what is paid For these and all the goods in trade. Cheapness and qtrlity I find At your Establishment combined. And while this principle discloses, I'll bo A CUSTOMER TO MOSES. E.

FRAMPTON'S PILL of HEALTH. The manifold advantages to the Heads of Families from the possession of a medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to with confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sickness occurring in families, more or less, every day, are so obvious to all, that no question can be raised of its importance to every householder in the kingdom. From among numerous testimonials, the following is respectfully submitted : " To Mr. Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London. _ _ "No. 5, David-street, Regent-road, Manchester, March 12,1842. " Sir,—l have much satisfaction in communicating to you the re sult of my experience after repeated trials of Framptou's Pill of Health ; and I feel it but justice to state, that in the course of many years' trial of various Aperient Medicines, I have never found results at once so salutary and efficient in the relief of the system from redundant bile, &c., &c., with so little inconvenience ; I am there fore warranted in declaring that they supply to me a means long wanting of being able to recommend to families, schools, and espe cially mercantile men, whether at the desk or on the road, a most valuable resource in an occasional medicine. And I shall take credit to myself if, in giving this testimony, lam the means of making Frampton's Pills more generally known and appreciated.—l am, Sir, respectfully yours, " WILLIAM SMITH." The unprecedented sale of these Pills, arising from the earnest recommendations of the many thousands who have derived benefit from their use, render any lengthened comment unnecessary. They are not put forth as a cure for all diseases to which mankind is liable, but for Bilious and Liver Complaints, with their many well known attendants, Bilious and Sick Head-ache, Pain and Oppression alter meals, Giddiness, Dizziness, Singing Noise in the Head and Ears, Drowsiness, Heartburn, Loss of Appetite, Wind, Spasms, &c. Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of their salutary effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength; a healthy action of the Liver, Bowels and Kigneys will rapidly take place ; and instead of listlessness, heat, pains, and jaundiced appearance, strength, activity, and renewed health, extending to good old age, will be the result of taking this medicine, according to the directions accompanying each box.

Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em " cai iiii i i-it t r_„mb . o solitary one may shield himself under the plea comprosing harry ; but the truth lies - deeper. — Physical incapiteity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement. Honour andjustiee demand tkat health should form an item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance.

Moro exalted than mere passion, it soars high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its influence, or can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take place, however, this passion, this fervour, this golden tido of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. 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 Lover, by enervation of early habits, er the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important cads. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable 1 Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and apon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession if natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of Raalloyed happiness. The subject Is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. These desirous of investigating it will find the fidlest and most satisfactory informatics in the little work entitled SELF-PR:ESERVATI6I4, illastrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the reproductive organs; with practical observe tionu Hu secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from Solitary habits, excesses, or infection.

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 highest medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes sional experience, 'which has reference almost solely to the treat ment of these diseases.

A meeting of shareholders in this company was held at Manchester on Tuesday, Mr. Julott in the chair, "to consider the course to be pursued to prevent the direc tors entering into such guarantees and liabilities as will entirely hand over to the companies sought to be guaran teed the whole capital of the Caledonian Company, amounting to 3,433,1081." Mr. lligson commented upon the present position of the company, and the fact that the directors, though the great body of the shareholders re sided in England, were Scotchmen, and bad very little capital invested in the Caledonian beyond the amount necessary to qualify them to ,aet., and said . the shareholders could have no confidence, under such circumstances, in them as parties to enter into the proposed guarantees. Mr. Kynaston said, in answer to a question, that 38.40ths of the shares in the Caledonian were hold in England, that 1-40th were held in Scotland, and 1-40th in Ireland and elsewhere. Mr. Kynaston also entered into a long statement to show that the proposed guarantees would be totally ruinous to the Caledonian shareholders, and that the directors were deeply interested in the various schemes which were proposed to be guaranteed. Resolutions were passed, to the effect that the meeting possessed no confidence in the board, believing that a majority, or at least an equal number, of directors ought to be chosen from shareholders in England, and that the meetings ought to be held alternately in England and Edinburgh; that it was highly expedient, before the proprietors gave their consent to the proposed future policy of the com pany, in respect to leasing and guaranteeing oth er li nes , that they should have the position and prospects of the company investigated and reported upon; and that the proceedings for leasing or purchasing the Scottish Mid land, Scottish Central, Dundee and Perth, and Aber deen Junction, ought to be suspended until suc h report had been considered by the proprietors. OPENING OF THE BASINGSTOKE BRANCH OF THE BERKS AND HANTS. This long delayed branch opened this (Wednesday, morning, the first train leaving Reading at 5 minutes past 9, and doing the distance (15i miles) in 45 mi nutes, as it arrived at the Basingstoke station at 50 minutes past 9. There are to be daily (for the present) four trains each way, viz.—The first from London, Pad dington station, at 27 minutes past 7, reaching Basing stoke at 50 minutes past 9 ; the second from Padding. ton, at 15 minutes past 10, reaching Reading at 55 minutes past 11, and Basingstoke at 30 minutes past 12 ; the third leaves Paddington at half -past 12, reach ing Basingstoke at 20 minutes past 2 ; the fourth, from Paddington, at 50 minutes past 4, reaching Basing stoke at 10 minutes past 6. There is but one sta tion between Reading and Basingstoke, viz., at Mor timer, about 71- miles, or nearly half way. The build ings, offices, waiting-rooms, furniture, are all of first-rate quality, and are most substantially built. The Great Weitern runs parallel with the South-Western to the ter minus. An opening is being made, so that passengers arriving by one to go to the other lino have but a few yards to walk under cover. The advantages are ex pected to be considerable to both Basingstoke and Read ing, particularly to their markets — Basingstoke, on a Wednesday, for corn and stock—Reading, on Saturday, also for corn and other agricultural produce. Passengers coming from Southampton, Portsmouth, Salisbury, and other important towns on the South - Western—as well as from Chichester, and other places on the South-Coast line, instead of their going as for mer l y, b y way of London, to Reading, Oxford, Cheltenham, Gloucester, &c., will now be enabled to get out at Basingstoke and go directly to Reading, saving a distance of 66 miles by line, and three miles from the Waterloo to the Padding ton station, and the advantage will be still greater, when the line from Oxford to Rugby is opened, which itt..ntav__ in progress. By this _ line _therefore, the Western, Great Western, North-Western, and South- Coast lines. Goods also will be conveyed at a great saving in cost, as well as being delivered in loss than half the time, without being damaged, as has fre quently been the case by being removed first from the South-Western Railway trains into waggons or carts to be taken to the Paddington or other stations, many also being lost in their transit. The passengers from Alton and places in that part of Hampshire will also save seven miles in distance going from the Basingstoke station, instead of, as they have been in the habit of doing, going from the Winchfield station on the South-Western line, even to Reading. Graziers attending the large fairs in Hants, Wilts, and Dorset, will find also this connecting branch a great benefit to them, enabling them to send their stock in a more safe and expeditious manner than driving for many days across the country. More persons attended the Basingstoke market this day than had ever been seen before, many corn dealers from Reading, who before seldom thought of attending, being present, besides many more millers and farmers. The road throughout is generally upon a level, and exceedingly well laid, the rails being chiefly on chalk, running very easy. The curiosity for opening lines seems to be much abated. This day being wet, very few were seen looking on, excepting those interested in the undertaking. ------------- .ECOMMENDATIONS OF TUE RAILWAY COMMIS SIGNERS AGAINST ACCIDENTS BY COLLISION.—In re porting upon accidents by collision—th e mos t aggrava t e d form of railway casualty, but now, owing to the great care adopted by the companies, mpanies, the least r e cu rr i ng cause R of accident—the Commissioners, as the re su lt of investigation i n thirty - seven cases, recommend th a t in large train s there should be a sufficient number of guards to work the brakes, and th at coll i s i ons are to be attributed to their deficiency.lt had been s ugges t e d that a brake should be attaehed to every fourth carriage, and, by a royal ordinance of the late Government of France, a similar propositionail was enjoined f or a ll t h e trains on the French railways. They consider it ques tionable, howev er , whether, thiswi s li the extraordinary s p ee d now commonly in use , even proportion would afford sufficient security. The Commissioners assume that the same power which can twenty-five a _train within a given dis tance from a speed of miles an hour would times require nearly fourthat distance, under similar circumstances, to stop a train from a fy a speed of & miles an hour, speed now frequently adopted. To attach a numbe r of gut which it is guards duly pro portioned to its weight and thespeed s tra vel would cause a considerableincreasein theworkte ing charger of railways; but the Commissioners con sider the question too important to be abandoned on such grounds, and that it requires the serious considera tion of every railway company in the kingdom. They h av e pointed out to Captain Huish, of the London and North-Western, these their views as to the evil of a deficiency of brake power in magnifying the effects of collisions, in order to the making some joint recommen dation to be generally adopted for public safety. The Commissioners are also of opinion that the unequal height and gauge of what are called " buffers" tend to aggravate the iujuries arising from accidents by collision, and they recomme nd uniformity as . far as possibl e . A new eight - wh eeled engine has been running on the London and North-Western, with 100 tons, at an aver age running speed o f fift y -one, an d at a maxi mum running speed of fifty-three, miles the an hour. Thi s i s one of the greatest perform ances of " narr o w , gauge as yet, and is looked upon as a stolen march on its rival the " broad."

The West Flanders railways will be very much benefited by the opening of the Tournay and Jurbise line, which is thirty miles in extent. The Earl of Lincoln arrived in town yesterday From IsTuneham. A. FEW WORDS ON RAILWAY . BUSINESS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. have been un w i s hf u l to occupy a ortion of your c o l umns , s i nce my last of the 26th October, being more willing to learn from the complaints and suggestions of your various correspondents what in formation might be useful —as in all public affairs the matters propounded are exceedingly multifarious, and the suggestions for reform sometimes thrown out under some feelings of disappointment on the part of the suggestor, who would, if his suggestions were carried out, be the first person to complain of their ill effects. Notwithstanding your own ably-written articles upon railway business, I am much opposed to restric tive measures of legislative interference, being more disposed to leave business transactions, whether coin• mercial, share, or other, as free of the trammels of law as possible. In my humble opinion, were the Legislature to properly define the law of debtor and creditor, lessen the expenses, and award adequate and certain punishment to the villunous defaulter, few would have the hardihood to incur the responsibilities which the designing are daily incurring; but whilst the debtor can, in the most simple contract debt, ac cumulate costs and extension of time before his cre ditor can obtain judgment, how is it to be expected that those who have incurred liabilities in shares, with the present greater uncertainties of law upon this subject, should cease to extend those liabilities, or that new candidates should be found willing to run the risk of incurring such. By the last account the "Bulls" have apparently gored the " Bears" fearfully; yet the Bruins having the power of assuming the bull's hide and horns, may return to the onslaught under the disguise, with dire resolve terminating in victory. You, therefore, do well to warn the bowl fide shareholders; let not such parties rest from their labours until they have compelled the Stock-Exchange to adopt such altered regulations for the government of the members of that body as shall protect the public as well as themselves. They should shorten the time for delivery of stock, and if not delivered in time, give an option of can celling to the buyer ; let the quotations in the Lon don list show the sales for the account, for money, and for time, the time being distinctly stated. And were they to quote the rates of the day for carrying over stock, it would be beneficial information for country " Bulls." This would be a step in the right way until next session of Parliament, when a removal of the onerous transfer and proxy stamps ought to be insisted upon ; after their removal, further stringent alterations in the Stock-Exchange rules might be made to advantage. I think few persons engaged in the share trade will believe that the present rise is either owing to the published accounts of the London and North-Wes tern, or the letter of the Iron King ; the public is, I believe, not now buying to any extent, and until con fidence is restored I am persuaded the real invester will hesitate to trust his capital in the market; the " Bears," I doubt not, will endeavour to cover their losses by " bearing" at present prices. I am, yours respectfully, Nov. 1, 1848. B. E. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Your valuable journal having lately taken much interest in the state of the share market, and contributed mainly to the greater improvement which has taken place, you may be gratified to hear that the Liverpool stock-brokers have this day come to a resolution to limit the time for delivery of transfer shares to seven days after account day, and thus give less time to the " Bears" to hold tickets before they deliver stock. It is generally expected here that the measure will meet with the warm approval of the p u bli c , b r i ng much bond fide business to our market, and ultimately induce all of the principal stock-exchanges in the country, and even that of London, to follow the ex ample. Should you consider the resolution worthy your notice, you have my full permission to use the intor mation.—l am, Sir, yours, &c., JOS. HASELDEN, Of the firm of John Haselden and Son, Brokers. Liverpool, Nov. 1, 1848. CHARGE OF ROBBERY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Snt,—Having my attention called by a friend to your report of Worship-street in yesterday's paper, in which my poor unfortunate boy stands charged with robbing his employer of copper-plates and ro'grartham ch4iiv-wrem-vvTuirdifilenstinarcamil4W I merely wish you to contradict the last paragraph, which states that he appeared perfectly callous. That apparent callousness arises from an almost total deaf ness ; that he did not hear a word the magistrate said to him, and would not have made an answer if the policeman in attendance had not repeated to him the question of the magistrate, as to what he had to say for himself. As a proof that he is not callous, when the officers closed the cell and separated him from his afflicted mother, she herself informed me his shrieks were heart-rending. In justice to his afflicted parents, I beg you to contradict that state ment. Proofs of his integrity up to this unfortunate affiiir will be produced at his trial, and other circum stances of a palliating nature. I would not have taken this liberty but for the fact that it will be copied into the weekly papers, and thus create an erroneous impression with those who may have to sit in judgment over him, and with my friends and rela tions in the country. Your obedient and afflicted humble servant, G. 4B, Long-alley, Bi s h opga t e, Nov. BURROWS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Themas Storer and Co. present compliments to the editor of The Sun, and beg to correct as under in statement, as copied from the Northern Whig of 24th inst., as to the Skibbereen flax meeting. " Mr. M'Adam stated that several vessels had lately brought into Belfast, flax of the value of about 6,000/., and not that 10 vessels had arrived bringing 60,C00/. worth. He also spoke of some flax grown in this country (Ireland) worth 801. per ton, and not as he is reported to have said 1801. 138, Cheapside, Oct. 31, 1848. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

TRIAL OF 1/1 - 1 - 1. KEVIN IZOD O'DOHERTY Yesterday, tho Hon. Judges Torrens and Crampton took their seats on the bench at ten o'clock precisely. Mr. BUTT commenced his address to the jury, and said that they knew that the punishment which the Act un der which they were trying . that young gentleman im posed was transportation for life, or for a ter m o f y ears, with a power in the Court to mitigate to imprisonment. But they knew also that in every case, and he did not complain of this, in wlich there had been a conviction under that Act, tho penalty of transportation bad been inflicted; and that even where verdicts were returned accompanied with the stongest recommendations to mercy, the Court, merciful and humane, did not consider themselves at liberty to act on :it further than by reduc ing the punishment from transportation for life to trans portation for a long term of years; and therefore, in ' considering the case, they must consider that they were deciding on the destiny for life of the young man at the bar. The Learned Counsel referred to different points on which he had already dwelt, and proceeded to say that if they (the jury) should differ with him in think ing that the original article in evidence was in the handwriting of the prisoner, he would ask them to examine it, and judge of it by the cir cumstances of the country; and if they should find that it was merely an incitement to retain the harvest at home, not to find a verdict of guilty against his client. He would ask them, was such an expression of senti ments respecting the harvest worse than what Lord Althorp said in the House of Commons, during the agi tation for reform, when he declared that, if that measure i w ii e s r r e es n i o d t en g n r e a h nt e e w d, on w i h d e t n eli the Judge CRAMPTON—That was not said by Lord Al inne?xt came to Al thorp, Mr. Butt. him t x t c e o a l i l l ec a t g o a r Mr. BUTT—WeII, perhaps it was not by Lord Althorp, my Lord. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—Oh, no ; nor a great many other things that have been attributed to the Whigs. Mr. BUTT—The Solicitor-General will have an oppor tunity of replying to me by and by. No doubt if that observation were not made by Lord Althorp, his Lord ship (Judge Crampton), as the friend of the Noble Lord, was naturally anxious to give an immediate contradiction to anything of which he thought his Noble Friend would be ashamed. The Learned Counsel, in continuation, adverted to the absence of any proof that his client had been connected with clubs, or had committed any act evidencing felonious intentions, and said that the fact of such proof being wanting should be presumptive in favour of the prisoner. The following witnesses were then examined for the defence:— Edward Purdon—l printed the' Tribune newspaper. Dr. Antisell first called upon nurysith a view to get an estimate of the cost of printing; ypere was not a regular written contract drawn up, but the terms were agreed on in letters; I never entered into any contract with the prisoner fur printing tho paper. A Mr. Meany was appointed the editor of the paper. I accepted the printing of that paper on condition that nothing sedi tious should appear in its columns. Mr. Meany super intended the publication of the two last numbers of the Tribune. I did not see the prisoner at the Tribune office after Mr. Meany became connected with it. When the paper first appeared Mr. O'Doherty used to come to my office. Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—He often came to my office during the first three weeks, in quiring for proofs of the articles which were afterwards published in the paper, and I have seen him receive them, and take them away with him; there is some money yet due to me for the printing of the Tribune newspaper, fur which I hold no security. Thomcs Connor proved that M'Keever had 5/. from him to go to Carrick; some days afterwards he came to I "nrYS had_not ...men - Mad Hotel; ho offered back a portion of the 51., and said he was willing to run the risk of a fine for not obeying the subpcena. Afterwards saw him at the hotel, and asked him , amongst other matters, how ho had proved Mr. O'Doherty's handwriting at the last trial, and he said that it was his province to post the entries from the day book into the ledger, and that he was told these entries were in the handwriting of Mr. O'Doherty. I asked him whether he considered such a mode of proving a man's hand writing a satisfactory one, and he replied that he did not, and remarked that if I thought so too, I might mention the fact to Mr. O'Doherty's counsel, in order that he might raise a point upon it in the prisoner's favour. 1 know that Mr. M'Keever has for some time past been on unfriendly terms with the prisoner. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL objected to this evidence as illegal. Mr. BUTT remarked that he knew what legal evidence was as well as the Solicitor-General. The SOLICITOR GENERAL remarked that he never doubted the egotism of Mr. Butt on that or on any other subject. _ _ Mr. Burr then addressed the Court and said—My Lords, since this trial ,has commenced the Solicitor- General has sought every opportunity of making per sonal attacks upon me, by adopting a tone of language ut terly unworthy of the place he holds under the Crown. Judge TORRENS—It does not appear to me, or I be lieve to my brother Judge, , that any language has been made use of in the course of this trial that ought to give rise to angry feelings upon the part of counsel on either side, or which might not be made by one gentleman to another. The evidence for the defence here closed. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then rose and said, that it now became his duty to address the jury on the part of the prosecution. He complained that there were in troduced topics which might be very well used on the hustings or in the round room of the Rotunda, but it was an abase of the privileges of a prisoner's counsel, upon a trial such as this, to resort to topics of a politi cal character, or to statements made by men in public positions, stating all these things upon his own autho rity, none of which were portions of the case which was for investigation before them. If he (the Solicitor- General) was in their situation, he would treat it as a personal insult to his position as a juror, if he was ad dressed on political topics for the purpose of swaying his verdict. He knew many of them to be men of high position and respectability, and he felt perfectly confi dent that in arriving at their decision upon the issue, those irrelevant topics which had been touched upon for the purpose of distracting and misleading them, would not have the slightest influence on their judgment. He denied that what the Learned Counsel for the prisoner had laid down was the law of the land. Ho had said. that a general insurrection or rising of the people in. Dublin, Cork, Waterford, Youghal, and Galway, would not be a rebellion against the authority of the Crown.. There never was a more untenable proposition put for ward, because any insurrection, incited or provoked for a particular purpose, was high treason, and the people should not be misled by contrary doctrines. Judge CRAMPTON—If it would not interupt you, I would suggest that, although Mr. Butt laid down th at doctrine in the first instance, he afterwards qualified it by admitting that a general insurrection would amount to a levying of war, but would not be the particular charge in the indictment. Mr. BUTT—Precisely, my Lord. My argument was, that the words of th e s t atute would exclude that can structive levying of war. The SOLICITORGENERAL said he was only desirous that the public should not understand that the people h ad a right to rise in the different parts of the country, a,a d resist to the death the exportation of provisions. The questions for the jury were these: —Hatt the prisoner tertained the intention of deposing the Queen from t 5 e Imperial Crown of the United Kingdom, and had hen c't manifested it by these publications in his journal?—alst whether he compassed the levying of war, and express e d that design? Mr. O'D o h er t y an d Mr. Williams had me oie a declaration stating that they were the sole and oi I:iy proprietors of the Irish Tribune, which rendered th , et n civilly and criminally responsible for the treasonable manifestos which appeared in their journal. T 1 tat they were treasonable, he thought there could be ,U o doubt. The British " foe, " referred to so often, rarer t every man who was we ll afected to his Sovereign, ray d desired to preserve the unity of this great empire. It was possible that an article might be inserted in a dai paper without the knowledge of the proprietor ; bu it that could not happen with respect to a weekly jourr in I, where every article was inserted after mature delibe ti t tiou; and in this instance, the paper was actually es .- blished for the purpose of effecting a revolution—sevk ing England !rem Ireland, and setting up a Republ d c. Tho Learned Counsel admitted that these publicatic n is were so seditious and so atrocious, that if the prisor.s were indicted for sedition he would not defend h' an. The Solicitor-General then referred to the evidence • of M'Keever as to the handwriting of the prisoner, a nd contended that it clearly established his guilt. It was : a disgrace to the administration of justice in Ireland the tt, when a man was charged with a heinous offence of tb tis nature, tending to shake the bonds of society, eves 7 person who came forward to give evidence against hit at was branded as an informer and held up to obloquy an d. scorn. No one had been called to refute him. A somewhat warm altercation here took place (occu• :. 0
