DUTCH EAST INDIES., The Dutch papers contain the following account of the insurrection at Siam : " A fearful insurrection has taken place here. The sugar plantations, which form the staple produce of the country, are cultivated by Chinese emigrants,. a class of sober, intelligent men, while their Siamese masters are indolent and oppressive, and reap all the benefit of their labour. " Great discontent has been brooding among these labourers, which has suddenly broken out into an 6ineute, which seriously threatened the capital of Bangkok. The intervention of arbitrators, accepted by the two parties , has, however, been the means of re-establishing order. "The first signal for the revolt was given on the 19th of March, when the insurgents took possession of some manufactures belonging to the King, and massacred all the functionaries. As soon as the in telligence reached Bangkok, which is eight miles distant, a superior officer was dispatched to Thrat chyn, with about 100 men, with orders to disperse the rebels. He immediately advanced towards them, and desired to speak to their leader. They requested him to come forward with fear, but he had scarcely come within gun-shot distance, when he and a num ber of his followers were struck dead by a shower of balls. This discharge was followed by a vigorous attack, when the royal troops, deprived of their cap tains, found their hopes were futile. " This treachery called for more decisive measures. The Prime Minister put himself at the head of 5,000 men, and went in person to attack the insurgents at ['hratchyn. The engagement was fierce, and both parties fought with great energy. The Chinese, when they saw 300 of their bravest men fall, and a great num ber taken prisoners, abandoned the field of battle, and fled in all directions. Encouraged by victory, the Prime Minister imagined that he had quelled the insurrection, and hastened to return triumphantly with his army to Bangkok, leaving about 100 men to guard the manu factories. The Chinese, however, rallied their forces, selected as King the Governor of the North-East Plantations, took possession of the fortress of Tchou- Songsaw, on the 14th of April, which was fortified with GO pieces of cannon and ample stores of provi ,ions. Having also made themselves masters of several other districts, they prepared to march simultaneously upon the capital in a regular army, for the purpose of proclaiming the King whom they had chosen. The Siamese had no time to lose. The immense danger roused their natural apathy, and in the course of a few days they collected an army of 10,000 men, the command of which was confided to one of their most ,xperienced generals, who by stratagem encompassed the rebels, and .compelled them to retreat to the for tress, where a most sanginary combat took place. Flight was impossible, and the Chinese had no alter native but to conquer or to die, for the army had re ceived orders from the Sovereign not to make any prisoners. The fortress held out for four days, but numbers at length prevailed over courage, and the in surrection was vanquished, that is to say, it was drowned in an immense quantity of blood. " Meanwhile the country is tranquil, and the few Chinese who did not take any part in the revolt are closely watched, in order to prevent any new con spiracy, but commerce is ahnost annihilated. A great number of sugar mills have been burnt. Numerous villages have been reduced to heaps of ruins. " The Europeans have had a meeting at Bangkok, to deliberate on the perilous position in which they placed. The Europeans will not sustain any danger if they abstain from taking any part in the contest.' —Dutch papers, Sept. 2.

The thousands of cures effected by this remarkable medicine are truly wonderful: especially in cases of indigestion, Ijillious affections, nervousness, headaches, cutaneous diseases, derangement of the respiratory organs, bowel complaints, and dropsy.

NEVILL DOLT, LEICESTERSIIIRE.—The sale, by Messrs. Robins, at this old mansion has created consi derable excitement in the neighbourhood ; indeed, visitors from all parts have, in consequence of the fine weather, been attracted to the spot. On Monday the grounds resembled more the appearance of a race course, so many sporting characters attended to witness the sale of the blood stock and dogs, which fetched ex cellent prices. The sale ou Tuesday included the in teresting collection of miniatures, many of celebrated persons of the Elizabethan period. The pictures were not remarkable for excellence, with the exception of the " Head of David," by Carlo Dolci, which possessed con siderable county reputation, and was stated by Mr. Robins to be undoubted ; this picture was put up at 100 guineas, and the biddings rapidly advanced to 320 guineas, when R. Berkeley, Esq., of Worcester, was declared the purchaser. No sale in the county h as ereatul such a sensation for many years, the mansion having been possessed by the Nevill family for centuries. A SANITARY EXPERIMEN T.—Yesterday a shaft six feet by three was sunk from the centre of the Black friars-road, at the point of junction of the main sewers from the Kent-road, Friar-street, and Webber-street ; at the mouth of this opening into the sewers an iron grating was brieke d in ; above it, and about three feet below the surface, a lut user!, composed of sheet iron, was erected. A space about twenty feet square was enclosed around the ,haft, for the deposit of coal, &c., and on Monday the furnace will be ignited to test the practicability of thus destroying the foul air generated in the sewers, %4 hich in this locality penetrates the dwellings of the inhabitants, rendering them unfit to dwell in. Should the experiment be attended with success, similar shafts aro to be sunk at stated distances, with architectural columns or obelisks to carry off the smoke. SEIZURE OF ILLICIT SPlRlTS.—Yesterday after noon, as Mr. Mills, an officer of Excise, was passing over London-bridge, his attention was drawn to u horse and cart going towards the City with a heavy load, con siting of casks, apparently tilled with some liquid. There were certain suspicious appearances about the v, ssels, coupled with a strong odour arising therefrom, which impressed the officer that the cart contained mo lasses or illicitly distilled spirits, end he dtt.rmined o n stopping the vehicle to make an examination. His sua • pcions turned out to be correct, for the whole of the cisks contained contraband spirits of a strength of sixty user proof, which he immediately seized, together with the horse and cart, and conveyed them to the Excise warehouses in Broad-street. It is believed that the spirits were on their way to a noted receiving house for " jigger" stuff in the neighbourhood of Cheapside, and that in a short time a clue will be obtained as to where the spirits were distilled.

GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN (IRELAND.) The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Tuesday, at the offices, in Dublin; Mr. E. M•Donnell in the chair. The SECRETARY read the report, which states that the balance of the account for the half-year shows a profit of 34,433/. 4s. Id. The construction of the line from Thurles towards Cork has been proceeded with as expeditiously as a prudent consideration for the state of the money market and other circumstances would admit of. About twenty miles to the junction with the Water ford and Limerick Railway, near Tipperary, was opened on the 3d of July last, with a single line of rails for passengers, and the second line has since been added. The directors have every assurance, both from their engineer, and Mr. Dargan, their contractor, that a further portion of about twenty miles to Charle•- villa, will be ready for public traffic by the middle if November, and to Buttevant, a town in a district of great importance, within about thirty miles of the city of Cork, by Christmas next. The report from Sir John Macneill shows the great progress already made in the works beyond Buttevant, and his confident expectation of being able to open the line to Mallow by the Ist of March next, and to Blackpool or Kilbarry, within the suburbs of Cork, by the Ist of July. The traffic shows an increase from the previous half year of 6,6561. Os. Gd.; and, since the opening to Li merick, there has been a further improvement, raising the average weekly receipts to 3,332/., being at the rate of 251. per mile per week, as compared with 211. per mile, as stated in the last half-yearly report; and it af fords the directors much pleasure to be able to add that this increased revenue has been obtained at a very small additional cost of working, so that they have every reason to hope that the next half-yearly statement of traffic will show such a net profit as will be adequate to cover the interest on the cost of the 130 miles now in operation; a position which they have every reason to believe was never before attained by any railway com pany which had yet sixty miles of its line to make be fore reaching one of its principal termini. The utmost care has been paid to limiting the expenditure of the company, and the arrears of calls have been reduced to 17,0001., in addition to 235 shares forfeited to the com pany. The Irish South-Eastern Company's line from Carlow to Kilkenny has been opened as far as Bagnals town, a distance of 101 miles, and it is expected the remaining portion to Kilkenny, about 10 miles, will shortly be completed. This company has under taken to furnish the carriage and moving power for working that traffic on terms mutually agreed on. The directors have also made arrangements with the Water ford and Limerick Company for an interchange of car riages and traffic between their two lines. The state ment of accounts attached to the report shows that the total amount received on capital account up to the 30th June last wa52,846,597/., and the expenditure 2,803,671/., leaving a balance in favour of the company of 36,8261. On the revenue account the receipts for the half-year were 65,3191.25. 5d., and the expenditure 30,8851. Bs. 4d., showing a balance in favour of the company of 34,433/. 14s. Id. After a short conversation the report was adopted—the retiring directors re-elected, and thanks voted to the chairman. The meeting then separated. MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN OF IRELAND— EXTENSION TO MULLINGAR. The Midland Great Western Railway extension, from the Kinnegad station to Mullingar, was inspected on Wednesday by Captain Wynne, Royal Engineers, pre vious to its opening for public traffic on the Ist October. The inspection was very satisfactory, Captain Wynne having expressed himself in very favourable terms as to the stability and safety of the line. The opening will take place on the above-named day.

Auguste Seguier, secretary in Paris to the same company ; and MM. Ther, Ibry, Love, and Desgranges, of the Boulogne Company. Mr. Macgregor, the chairman of the So u th-E astern Company, was pr evented by illness from attending, and Mr. Pritchard, Mr. Brown, and the Hon. Mr. Byng, the other directors, were unable to attend, in consequence of the meeting of the South Eastern Steam Navigation Company in London the next day. The PRESIDENT, in proposing the first toast, " Union between the South-Eastern Company and the Boulogne and Amiens Company," expressed his great regret at the mistake committed on the occasion of the opening of the railway to Boulogne with regard to the non-admission of the South-Eastern Company. He then, in excellent English, expatiated on the benefits and advantages to be derived from the present entente cordiale, and from the mutual co-operation of the two companies, not only to the proprietors, but to the public generally. He had felt an anxious desire to have met the chairman of the South-Eastern Company that day, and to have tendered the hand of friendship to him, and said that he knew he w a s only speaking the sent iments of all parties in ex epsrteasbsilnisghmaefnertvoefnht i w s .i h s e h a f l o th r . the prompt and complete re- Mr. SMALE, on the part of the South-Eastern and c S o t i e n a c m id - e b d oa i t n C al o l m t p h a a n t y h , a a d ct niloewnlefdroginedththeeptroeassitd,annt in hisdfully regret at the illness of their Cha i r man, and his convic tion of the beneficial results to be expected from the cor dial re union. He said that when the South-Eastern Company was in its infancy, ho had been one of its first supporters. At that time lines had been projected to the bleak north, the watery west, the chilling east, but strange to say, the warm, the fertile south, the line of all thers the most to be desired, that which led to La Belle France —that which conducted directly to the whole con tinent of Europe, had been omitted and neglected. The company was at length, howev er , p ro j ec t e d, and carried out through evil report and goo d re p or t : it h a d to struggle with difficulties to an extent beyond belief, partly from the blindness of the Legislature of his coun try, which at one time appeared to th row every impedi ment possible in the way of works which have now proved themselves to be absolutely essential and benefi cial to the nation at large, and partly from the cu pidity of the soi-disant country gentlemen, whose exactions, almost uncontrolled as to compensation and change of route, had swamped many good de signs, and deeply and for ever injured others, which, however, still survived, and as in their own case would ultimately, as he verily believed, spite of all, prove ns remunerating as any kind of property in the kingdom. Ile could not avoid these observations, when he con trasted the conduct and policy of the Government of France on these points with the course pursued by the British Government and Legislature. He could not sit down without—at the same time that he notieed the splendid hospitality of the entertainment—assuring the directors that the spirit the language in which the invitation was conveyed by 1 the letter of the honourable gentleman, M. Adam, to which he did himself the honour to reply on the part of his board, gave them the highest satisfaction; and he gave with the sincerest cordiality, " The health of the Directors of the Boulogne and Amiens Railway, and con tinued prosperity to the line." M. Apex's health was afterwards drunk, and he, in TO THE LADIES. This lady had the following letter Inserted in the " Times" news_ ,spar oa Aug. 7, MG. Reader, remember, this letter was put into lie paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of N.. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor unity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, or the Ilerbary, High :ate ter the edicacy et his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair en her head, after using itabont four moaths, Ind the whole of her hair is much stronger aid more luxuriant than lever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to:the virtues of Mr. (I.'s degonator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase in I Is. bottle it they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex ,erience, net oily in the restoration and preduotion of hair in abund ,nce, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iti far 'wyond any to her taste.

In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w trope en the crown of the head occasionally, everyleek, will pre- and :ent the hair from coming away with the comb,strong, ,revaat it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A :ew drops en your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give tke nair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the mast aromatic herbs and towers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of neyous headache, pour tea or twelve drops on the grown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of as hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplicatiens. If used on infonts' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence oa the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pampklet of testieseniaLs.

CELIBACY. —Singleness is not always the con sequence of disinclination, disappointed affection, or a diffi culty in meeting with a tit 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 tins to consume him to the grave, rather than consign its object to that life of unmitigable anguish and fettered solitariness into which his affianced 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 so 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 fr.m 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 tke 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 Habits ; the Weakening effects of Later Excesses ; and Nervousness of Tempera ment ; the next sources of importance are hereditary and acquired and, lastly, men are prevented from marrying by the effects when ill-cured, leaves traces that forbid all im do f is d e l a s s e e ; ens pulse towards wedlock. In each of these lnstasces it is unhappily too common for the sufferer to consider his case beyond remedy, and be fails to consult even his own medical attendant. Such will find all obstacles removed by reference to a valuable Manual on Nervous by its Authors, J. L.

Physical incapacity, out broken health, are the great hindrances to dom estic happiness nut social content. The dowry should net he the only marriage set dement.

It is the effect of conscience.

Happy the mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf Into which such scenes must plunge him I In the book before as such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and iastruct 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 from the rigid path of abstemiousness and propriety. A father may trust it 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 breathing in these pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of i a homily blended withthe practical advice of a writer on medicine." —United Kingdom Magazine.

COURT-MARTIAL. A general court-martial assembled yesterday morn ing. at Chatham Garrison, for the trial of private John Mitchell, 14th Regiment, No. 1,665, Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas E. Kelly, President, and Captain J. S. Wood, Brigade-Major, Deputy Judge Advocate. The prisoner was arraigned upon five charges. For haring, in the orderly room at the barracks at Newport. Monmouthshire, on the 22d of August last, when or dt-red for punishment by his commanding officer for committing an offence, said, " If I am to be tried for that I'll have something to be tried for," and he immediately struck Sergeant Charles Newman, the sergeant of the guard, with his fists, and seisc2cl the bayonet out of the sergeant's hand. Lieutenant and Adjutant R. Macdonald rushed upon the prisoner and took away the bayonet, Sergeant Newman was insensible from the blows given by the prisoner in the presence of the commanding officer. The prisoner was secured and marched to the guard room by a file of the guard, and then he was placed in confinement ; and on the 30th of August, the prisoner, with another prisoner of the name of Cummins, who was tried the beginning of the week, destroyed the prison door by smashing it into fragments, and using threatening language to Sergeant John Beckvrorth; and on the 31st of the same month the prisoner sent for the Adjutant, and on that officer appearing, the prisoner asked him how long he was to be kept in the cell, and was told until he was tried, when the prisoner replied, in a threatening manner, "Then I'll give you something to try me fur." The damage done to the prison door, and to the bed, amounts to 11. 19s. 10d. The prosecution being closed, the prisoner, in his de fence, said, " I considered that I was, in the first in stance, undeservedly punished by my commanding officer, for a crime imputed to me, and that was the cause that induced mo to commit the offence I did, and I'll be revenged, ill die for it." Lieutenant and Adjutant Macdonald produced leaves from the Court-martial book. The prisoner was tried by regimental Court-martial at Londonderry, on the Ist of 'March, 1843, and sentenced to 30 days' imprisonment, with hard labour. His general character is bad. He has been eight years and eight months in the regimeilt, and is 25 years of age. The Court found him guilty, but the sentence will not be known until confirmed by the Commander-in-Chief. CHRIST'S llOSPlTlL.—Yesterday being the anni versary of the foundation of this admirable institution, the senior scholars, in accordance with ancient usage, delivered in the great hall, before the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, Governors, and friends of the Hospital, a series of orations on the benefits arising from the establish ment. Upwards of 2,000 visitors, the majority of whom were ladies, were present. Mr. Charles Deere Craven, second Grecian, who is proceeding to Lincoln College, Oxford, as Thompson Scholar, commenced the proceed ings with a Latin oration, remarkable for purity of style and elevation of sentiment. Mr. D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson, third Grecian, Classical Medallist, 1847, and Mathematical Medallist, 1848, who is proceeding to Trinity College, Cambridge, followed in an English oration of great merit, and was much applauded. The Greek oration was given by Mr. Robert Black, fourth Grecian, who is going to Pembroke College, Cam bridge, and the French oration by Mr. James Lempriere Hammond, first Grecian, Mathematical Medallist, 1847, Classical Medallist, 1848, and who is proceeding to Trinity College, Cambridge. These acquitted themselves most creditably, and were highly applauded, especially the latter, who, in addition to his superior elocution, hod the advantage of speaking in a language generally intelligible to the fair sex. The remaining compositions recited were " Latin Alcaics on Cleopatra," by Alfred Sweeting, tenth Grecian; " Man fred's Soliloquy," translated into Greek iambics, by Herman Charles lleilbroun, fifth Grecian; Latin hexa meters on " British Freedom," from Goldsmith's " Tra veller," by Lawrence Craven, sixth Grecian; Collins s " Ode to Evening," rendered into Greek sapphics, by Thomas Holbron, seventh Grecian; Latin hexameters on " The Death of Socrates," by James Gill , e leventh Grecian; Latin elegiacs on " Mary Queen of Scots," by Henry Charles Jones, twelfth Grecian; and an English poem oa " Borneo," by George Hector Croad, eighth Grecian. Mr. Charles 8. D. Townsend was to have spoken a second English poem, but was absent through illness. The whole of the proceedings passed off with great éclat, and reflected vast credit on the Rev. Dr. Rice, head master, and his able assistants. NECESSITY THE MOTHER OE I N YEICTION.—Th an inhospitable portion of one of the Australian colonies there resided two young men, of education and respecta bility, who, with many others, had left their country and their friends to seek their fortune in a land of strangers. The place which they selected for their new enterprises proved to be unsuited to their objects, and a very common lot befel them—they were reduced to poverty—and compelled to resort to untried expe dients in order to procure the means of subsistence. Ono of them commenced a school, and the other resolved upon an undertaking which, considering the circum stances under which it was prosecuted, may be ranked amongst the wonders of colonial life. The want of a small coasting vessel to trade between the outporta of the province had long been a source of inconvenience to the settlers; and this young roan seized upon the chance of retrieving his lost fortunes by an attempt to supply this desideratum. ne had never before been engaged in shipbuilding, and he had no person to ass i st hi m i n the laborious part of such a work. This, however, did not discourage hiee. His genius overcame the first of these difficulties, and his perseverance mastered the second. The keel of a vessel was placed upon the stocks, hewn out of the forest by his own industrious hands, and by indomitable toil the same hands cut and fashioned, and conveyed to their proper destina tion, the various timbers necessary for the completion of this arduous work, the affectionate schoolmaster in the meanwhile supporting from his earnings the amateur shipbuilder. The vessel was finished and launched, and to the gratification of every one who had marked the consummation of this extraordinary undert a ki ng , rode proudly on the waters of the settlement. A melancholy event followed. The two brothers were g strug n -7 t, in a s mall boat to drag their newly - acquired prize-overa bar which intervened between her and the ocean she was destined to traverse, when, from the violence of the surf, and the inexperience of the sailors, the boat was cap sized, and the unfortunate schoolmaster was drowned! The bereave: brother was thus left to plod his lonely way, with his little craft, through the new scenes upon which he had entered. Ile progressed from step by step, rewarded by deserved success, until a more extended voyage was contemplated. The theatre of his labours was left behind, the staunchness of his little vessel was tested by the billow s of the Leuin, and no w she lies, safely anchored, in the harbour of Port Adelaide, the Gazelle of Western Australia, and a gem in colonial naval architecture. We give her enterprising owner (Mr. J. Kemp) a hearty welcome to our shores, and wish him all the prosperity to which his unexampled industry and privations so richly entitle him. —South Australia Register, April I.

G. -At a Privy Council held yesterday afternoon at Dublin Castle, it was determined to admit to bail some of the parties at present in custody under the Suspension Act.. The following are the names of the members pre sent at the Council :—His Excellency the Lori Lieu tenant, the Lord Chancellor, the Lieutenant •General Commanding the Forces, Earls Fingal and Chale , moat, the Bishop of Meath, Lords Talbot and Bellew, the Attorney-General, the Paymaster of Civil Ser vices, the Chief Secretary for Ireland, and the Right lion. W. F. Tighe. An order was issued for the trial of the state pri soners at Clonmel. The following order was also issued : " BY TUE LORD LIEUTENANT AND COUNCIL OF IRELAND. " CLARENDON. " Ordered,—That any one of her Majesty's Justices of the Court of Queen's Bench be at liberty to accept bail for the appearance of Gilbert Whyte, James Edward O'llonoghue, Michael Hanky, Patrick Mulhall, Edward Lombard, Peter MSenzie, James M'Grath, Gunning Taaffe, Edward Behan, Andrew Behan, John Sheehan, Henry Broxton, Richard Johnstone, Thomas Bergin, Stewart Wright, and Thomas M'Grade. " Given at the Council Chamber in Dublin, this 18th day of September, 1848." The Chief Secretary immediately issued instruc tions to the governors of the respective gaols in which the :above-named prisoners are confined to communicate this order to them, with a view to their finding the necessary bail, which is to be ad measured by the judge to whom the application may be made. LATEST FROM THE SOUTH. The following, from the correspondent of the Free man' appears in this morning's publication : " CLONMEL, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—There is a good deal of bustle and preparation here for the Special Commission, which opens to-morrow, at eleven o'clock. The witnesses for the prosecution have all, or nearly all, arrived in town. Mr. Kem mis, the Crown solicitor, and several of his assistants, came down from town yesterday, and have been since actively engaged in pre parations for the trial. In the course of the morning several female witnesses, wretchedly attired, and apparently of the lowest class, were escourted to the Court-house by a number of the constabulary ; and I understand their depositions were subsequently taken by Mr. Kemmis and his assistant, according to the course usually adopted in cases of this description. It is stated that there are between sixty and seventy witnesses against Mr. O'Brien alone. If the grand jury were to examine anything like this number, the bills of indictment could not, of course, be found within the term expected—namely, on the first day. But it is thought that only comparatively a few of those witnesses will be produced before the grand jury. If it should so happen that the bill against Mr. O'Brien, or any of the other prisoners to be tried for high treason, is found on the first day, and delivered the day after, he may be put upon his trial on Friday, the 2.ith. There seems to be some doubt as to whether any other trials will be proceeded with in the meantime. Besides the number of prisoners in custody on the ordinary charges, there are several for political offences not amounting to high treason, and it has been said that the Court will go on with their trials on the days that must elapse between the finding of the bills against those charged with high treason and their arraignment. I have heard it confidently stated to-day, however, that this will not be done—that the only prisoners who will he tried at this commission are those charged with high treason. " Considerable alterations are being made in the Crown Court. One of the galleries is to be set apart for the accommodation of Mrs. Smith O'Brien and other relatives of the state prisoners. " Communicating with the dock is a narrow vaulted and flagged apartment or passage, in which the pri soners are usually kept while waiting for trial. It is a cold, comfortless looking place, and being unpro vided with any seats, those who are c,2nfined in it% will be obliged to stand, or walk up and. down until their ptesence is required in court. Theivalls bear the names of several unfortunate men, who tare passed a short interval ' between the prison and the grave. "Increased accommodation is being provided for the reporters, a large number of whom will be in attendance. The manager of the Electric Telegraph Company is said to have arrived in town, for the purpose of making arrangements by which the most speedy intelligence relative to the progress of the trials can be forwarded, to the Government several times each day. " Besides the Attorney-General, the other Crown Counsel, for whom lodgings have been engaged, and who are to arrive this evening, are the Solicitor- General, Messrs. Scott, and Sausse. " The grand jurors of the county are arriving in town every hour, and lodgings have reached a high yremium since morning. " The High Sheriff, with a large escort, has gone out to met the Judges ; but up to the hour of closing my letter their Lordships had not arrived. " A number of the military who had been dispatched to Carrick and other localities, said to be disturbed, returned to this town to-day, apparently very much fatigued. There is a large force at present here. It is evidently intended that the representatives of Majesty, and all others of her Majesty's servants shall be duly and properly protected. " The nature and extent of the late disturbances, or alleged real rebellion,' are now pretty well ascer tained, and the public can draw the line between the truth and error in the published accounts. Appa rently a more peaceable country could not be travelled over than between Dublin and this yesterday. There was no sign of the slightest excitement ; and I believe the same remark would apply to the districts said to be a few days ago the scene or centre of alarming insurrectionary movements." The following persons were brought in here this morning by a constabulary party from Carrick, under the charge of Constable Coghlan. They were committed by Mr. Stuart, justice of the peace : Pat Walsh, aged 17, can read and write ; James Neil, aged 40, can neither read nor write ; and John Moore, aged 19, can read and write, were charged and fully identified for burning, with other traitors, the police-barracks at the slate quarries on the 12th inst., for appearing in arms against the Queen, and for destroying and stealing the property of the consta bulary. ----, - They were arrested on Monday night by a large constabulary force under Sub•lnspectors Rennison and Bourke, consisting of forty men, in their own houses, and in which were also found a large quantity of the wearing apparel and furniture belonging to the police-barracks. They are to be tried at the special commission. Tile following is a copy of the calendar of pri mers for trial at the special commission : Suspected of high treason—John B. Russell, James Purcell, Edward Smith, James O'Donnell, Arthur O'Ryan, and Francis O'Ryan. Concerned in treasonable proceedings—John Hickey, alias James Walsh. One of a party of insurgents who attacked the police at Farinrory and was wounded—James Dttyer. Engaged with Smith O'Brien in rebellious and in surrectionary proceedings—John Preston, Jeremiah Kealy, John Linnane, Pat Ormond, John Brennon, S.ephen Morrissey, James Butler, James Day, Edmund Kennedy, Michael Bryan, Edward Maher, and James Britten. Concerned in treasonable practices—Thomas Parker O'Flanagan and Pat Dunn. Having a pike in a proclaimed district—Manim Mur phy, William Quirko, and Daniel Collins. One of an armed party who attacked the police bar rack at Glenbower (wounde3).—W. Aiding and assisting S. O'Brien in arms against the Queen —Thomas Finnane and Edward Kennedy. Concerned in treasonable practices—William Pratt and Denis Tyne. Concerned in treasonable practices (high treason)— Manim R. Leyne, Patrick O'Donoghue, James Orchard, Thos. Stack, Terence Bellow M'Manus, Patrick O'Don- [lel!, W. S. O'Brien, and Thomas F. Meaher. Burning the police barracks at slate quarries on the 12th July, in arms, destroying and plundering the pro perty of the constabulary, and being traitors, &c.—James Neill, Patrick Walsh, and John Moore. Four hundred person have come to town in reference to giving evidence against the State prisoners. Most of them visited the gaol to-day for the purpose o f identify ing them, and it is expected that 140 will be examined as witnesses during the trials. The judges have not yet arrived. The following paragraphs appear in the Tipperary Free Press of this day, in addition to the statement of a correspondent, to the effect that the district about Glenbower was in the most tranquil condition : " On Sunday, in consequence of a number of per ,ons being seen on the mountians near Palliser's Castle, crowds were at every avenue of the street from which a glimpse of the hill could be obtained. Rumours were abroad that it was a party of insur gents, and a very brilliant fire being lighted in the evening in the vicinity, served in some minds, to confirm the re, orts. On inquiry we discovered that the parties on the hill were some young men who were coursing, and that the fire was kindled by a few boys from the town. _ A report was very current in town on Saturday that two policemen from Clonmel, named Ryan and Crotty, who had been dispatched on special business, had been captured by the peasantry, and that Ryan had been sentenced by a court-martial to be hung, which was carried into execution on the next tree. We are happy to say that this rumour is without foundation." DEPARTURE OF THE JUDGES. The Lord Chief Justices of the Queen's Bench and Common Pleas, and the Right Hon. Justice Moore, left town yesterday morning by the Great Southern and Western Railway, for Clonmel. THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. We have received papers from the Cape of Good Hope, by the ship London, which has arrived with a division of the 4th Regiment from Madras, to the 18th of July. The Commander-in-Chief, Rear-Admiral Dacres, had not returned to the Cape from the Island of Madagascar, but was expected at the end of the month. Affairs were progressing satisfactorily at the Cape, in the government of Sir Harry Smith, Bart. The London put into Simon's Bay, in want of a mainyard, water-tanks, and water, sufficient for the troops during her passage home; this was supplied to her from the naval department at the Cape, and she has made the passage home, notwithstanding her heavy freight, in less tims than her Majesty's steam sloop Devastation, with her 400-horse power to assist her canvass. The London left on the 111th of July, and arrived on the 20th instant ; the Devastation left on the 2d of July, and arrived on the 11th instant. The London is of 720 tons burden, and has brought home from Madras, which place she left on the 7th of April, for London, a cargo of rice. Passengers— Mesdames Thomas and family, Weiss, and Knotc ; Rev. Mr. Thomas, Major Williams, Captain Well man, Lieutenants Madigan and Fitzgerald, En signs Ponitz and Knott, Lieutenant and Adjutant Thompson, Surgeon Logan, 14 sergeants, 4 drum mers, 187 rank and file, 18 women, and 38 children. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam vessel Achilles, 940 tons, R. White commander, en route from Southampton to Ceylon, arrived at the Cape July 8. She left Southampton May 23, and Gibraltar June 2. We subjoin the following from the Cape papers : (From the Cape Town Mail, July 15.) The Legislative Council was adjourned by his Excel lency the Governor, on Thursday last, until October next. The following gentlemen have been appointed Com missioners to receive and investigate claims preferred for compensation for losses sustained in the last Kafir war, viz.—The Hon. W. Cock and J. Stewart, J. Collet, W. Southey, and J. Carlisle, Esqs. The Graham's Town Journal contains the annual statements of the liabilities and assets of the Eastern Province, the Commercial and Agricultural, and the Port Elizabeth Banks, all of which arc in a prosperous and flourishing condition. The Frontier Times reports several cases of Kafir de predations; but the Graham's Town Journal, subse quently published, states that the latest intelligence from British Kaffraria is, upon the whole, satisfactory, for although there had been some thefts, there had been corresponding activity on the part of the authorities. The Natal Witness says—" Twenty men of the 45th Regiment have obtained their discharge, to whom Go vernment have been granting either erven in this town, s o u r b a u n r y ba o n f the n allotments. e w v s g sa m e b of o u t t b t oe menbe e s a t r a e b shed,l s l a id to b or e tradesmen, and are likely to find immediate employment at good wages." DEFENCE OF THE COLONY. (From the South African, July 17.) At the sitting of the Council on Thursday last, the Governor proposed the following resolutions, and ex pressed his intention to introduce a law i❑ accordance with them at the next session : "1. That in the opinion of this Council the commando system, hitherto and now in force for the defence of the colony, is capable of being, in certain respects, re modelled i❑ such a manner as to render the burgher service, to which the inhabitants are liable, less burden some to individuals, anZI more effectual for the protection of the public. "4. That the task of improving the principle and ar rangement of the burgher force is one peculiarly fitted for a tine, like'the present, of uninterrupted tranquillity upon, and beyrind, the eastern ffotithr—a pexio'd of peace, which the exhibition of unanimity and orgatczation on the part of the colonists must tend directly and power fully, to perpetuate. "3. That it is expedient to replace the present irre gular and apparently arbitrary mode of calling out the burghers, by the more equitable system of a ballot, by which, in every district where the Governor shall deem it necessary, a sufficient number of the inhabitants, be tween the appointed ages of 16 and 60 years, shall be selected (but with a power of providing substitutes) to I form the burgher force of such district. " 4. That it will be desirable to provide for the mode by which different classes of the inhabitants may be ar ranged in different companies or troops, so as best to promote the convenience and efficiency of the entire force. "5. That this Council will be prepared to make provi sion for the payment, according to a reasonable and suit able scale, of the burgher force, whenever called out on service or required to muster, it being both just and ex pedient that the burden of the public defence should be borne by the public at large, rather than, as now, by indivividuals selected, for the most part, upon no fixed principle. "G. That this Council is of opinion that a legislative measure calculated to ameliorate, upon the principles above set forth, the existing commando law of the colony, should be prepared and submitted to the Council at its next session." The resolutions were carried unanimously. EMIGRANT BOERS AND NEW SETTLEMENT BEYOND THE ORANGE RIVER. (From the South African, July 5.) In accordance with the intelligence received from be yond the Orange River respecting the revival of a better spirit among the emigrant boers, letters have been re ceived from Natal, from which it may be inferred that those who had removed from the settlements are return. trig, not only in spirit, but in body and goods, to British allegiance, as the following extract will show : " Pieter-Mauritzburg, June 15, 1848. " I rejoice to inform you that the measures adopted by Sir Harry Smith to induce the emigrant farmers to return to their allegiance and to this district, are begin ning to be crowned with entire success, despite all the difficulties and impediments they had to contend with from all qua' tars, and which made me at one time quite despair of their satisfactory accomplishment. Gert Ro dulph, Andries Spies, Lobaschagne, Plessier, and several other leading men, have already returned, and themselves admit that they are but the forerunners of a host, who at last begin to find that there is no country like the Klip river." This is gratifying, and it is to be hoped that the great fountain of discontent—the land question—will be speedily dried up by some clear, s imple, and easily un derstood arrangement, by means of which the lands ,h:11 be made the prop ert y of private individuals, with full power over the same, from the moment of grant, purchase, o r cession, without any conditions that may distinguish the owners of land from the owners of any thing else. (From the South African, July 15 ) The intelligence this week from the interior is to the 30th ult. Mr. Biddulph reached Wenburg, on his re turn from Bloemfontein, on the 26th. The party of 300 armed boers, which were reported to have driven Mr. U. away, had no existence but in imagination. It appears, however, that on the morning of the 24th ult. a Mr. Jacobs, the landdrost of Wenburg, before the pre sent arrangements were adopted (fir, more properly speaking, the landdrost form a certain party in that dis trict, for they were divided among themselves, and had two landdrosts, each party acknowledging its own), rude into Wenburg, having with him an armed escort of, it is said, about 50 men, and prime& ded to a room which they call their Court-house, where they entered, and re mained some two or three hours, supposed in trans acting some business of their own, and then rode away again as quietly as they entered. The eight men which Mr. Biddulph took with him from Bloemfontein he had cent back to that place. Major Warden had returned from a visit to the Caledon River district, where he found everything going on prosperously. Mr. O'Reilly had held several meetings in his district, for the purpose of elect ing field commandants and field cornets. One had been elected for Slik Spruit Field Cornetcy. Upwards of sixty farmers attended at the election, and took considerable interest in t he proceedings. They elected Mr. Hendrik Matthysen, who has for some time acted as such. At this meeting 500 rds. was subscribed towards the erection of the church at Smithfield (Cale don River), which raise s that list to 2,000 rds. This, with what is to be derived from the sale of erven and the advance from Government, will enable the church to be commenced almost immediately. In addition to the 5001. which Messrs. liaise give towards the build ing, they have also to construct a dam and water-furrow, which they have already commenced, for the purpose of sending water into the village. All dissatisfaction in this district has ceased, and the people go heartily to work in assisting to carry out the Governor's measures. Returning from Caledon River, Major Warden held a meeting on the 28th ult., at Andrees Lubbes, for the purpose of electing field cornets; and two were elected— viz., Michael Oberholeter and Jan Cloete. Both have ever been staunch adherents of the British Govern ment; and as a large number of the inhabitants attended at the election, the choice of these two men shows most clearly the good feeling of the people. The subscription list for the church at Bloemfontein now amounts t o 2 , 3 40 r d s. The land commissien would have commence d i ts operations in the direction of Wenburg on the 6th inst. THE KAFIR FRONTIER. By letters from the Kafir frontier, it appears that the r ~ ~.;: iMIII 1 f i f
