THE GUINEA TRADE and CRAFT of DOC TORS in DANGER.—Those doctors, alias the licensed poi• sonere, who write in the Weekly Uspatch about Morison's Pills, wil' be answered in the columns of THE HYGEIST, which appears or the first of every month, and is published at the Office, 365, Strand, price Id., or 2d. per post. In the present eventful state of Ireland, the Committee of the Irish Society of 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 tio means undervalue the efforts which are being made, whether . lby legislation er by private enterprise, to improve the temporal Condition of Ireland, the Committee feel convinced, from much ex- Verience, that all the remedies proposed must prove unavailing, un less, at the same time, measures are taken to elevate the moral character of the Irish peasantry by means of religious instruction. The Irish Society labours in the native districts, where upwards of 2 ,000,000 of the populalinn speak the Irish language. There are now NO teachers connected with it, who instract the •ative Trish in reading the - Word of God. Since the commencement 400,000 individuaLs, Chiefly adultsehitive ttniwtometinthrtskzead tyke - Scriptures, many of whom embraced the Protestant faith. Ono hundred and eight Scripture readers are employed, who read the Irish Bibles in the cabins, or to groups of the peasantry at work in their fields, or by the roa I 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 county of Galway, two in the county of Cork, and Clx in Kerry. • Many Roman Catholics, not included in those distinct congrega tions, have been brought, through the blessing of Almighty God neon the Society's labours, to renounce the errors of Rome, and are now incorporated with old Protestant congregations. Some groups of converts who have been instructed by the Society are asking 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 Cathed; r al of L— I - areached on Wednesday evening. The church was filled, the Roman Catholics standing op 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 'ltomanists ; as it wits, we had a goodly number, and those _ w bo Mare obliged to stand outside the window occasionally requested that I would speak up, so as they might hear." Another Writes : .' " I had a most interting tour through the C— Irish districts. I preached 20 sermons, an 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 he would ' come to hear the next sermon, •if the 'priest would roast him in the fire for it.' Many a Poor creatuye from the heart said, ' 0, when will yon come again air ? Alas I that we hav'nt an Irish ministry.'" Such itee some of the results of the Society's proceedings ; but the rimt tee would allude to one more, of considerable importance at '. e Present time, and that is, that wherever the native Irish have been instructed by the Society, they have become loyal subjects of oar 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 follOdrig are extracts from one letter out of upwards of twenty of Gataante character received by the Committee:— ~' Ti . affirm it as a fact that could not be contradicted, that out of gat thousands In Ireland connected with the Irish Society, that none Iothen are connected with illegal associations, or with that dan roux agitation now se formidable, and hostile to Ireland's t interests. Our teachers and pupils are almost entirely friendly t British connexion ; they have felt Rome's spiritual tyranny, and hey believe, if the union with Great Britain were dissolved, Xhat both spiritual and political'tyranny would become intolerable." . And there are not a few instauces of members of Ribbon or other • illegal associations having been converted through the instrumen ' tat*, of. the Society, and now employed in teaching their country non to read the Word of God. An 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 4 stranger with a Bible in his hand, and gave me a hearty wel come, crying out ` Cead Mine Failthe," Cead Mille Failthe.' They Were orderly in their conduct, and deeply attentive to the Word of God. • I was especially pleased with the demeanour of two indivi ,,uualar and not a little grat:fled at afterwards hearing their story. One ijad been a celebrated and lawless pugilist, the other the leader Of a Ribbon rodeo, 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 now, from their respectable appearance and general conduct, as Well from the change which has taken place, they might be described In the language of inspiration, ' Sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in their right mind.' One of them is the owner of the cabin wberm the congregation was assembled—the other, the Scripture .t., 'eftdiat employed in the district." To extend these benefits, under the blessing of God, amongst the IfiSli-speaking part of the population the present appeal is made. It is acknowledged by all parties that something ntust be done for Ireland ; and without limiting the measures which may be devised by the benevolent, the Committee of the Irish Society of London Weald respectfully saggest that religious instruction should have a prominent plaoe amongst them. It has succeeded in the Protestant districts of the north of Ireland, 'which are as free front 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 tope ice, to loyalty, and goodwill. And why should it no t succee d upon a greatly extended scale ? It is a rfshasure which the Committee believe God will honour—that God will surely bless. There is a prom' se which they would desire to remember, and In humble rellanoe upon which they carry on the 'workeenamitted to their charge--" My w0rd......5ha1l not retnrn Unto 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 Man for the Lord's sake." It will inculcate industrious habits—" if any would not work, neither should he cat." It will produce a respect for life and property, and thus give an oPPortunlty for the introduction of capital, andt heempl employment instead of of the pOople at home, enabling them to support themselves, being a burden to others. It will be the ure remedy for treason and rebellion —" Fear God --honour the king—and meddle not with them that aro given to change ~ 4 4_ Abiavo all, it will teach them the way of eternal . salvation, c ot 12 our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.—John hi. 16, 17. Acts iv. 12. The inhabitants of England, Wales, the Highlands of Scotland, ' and of th e di stant colonies, all hear, in their own tongue, the won derful works of God ; and the Co nmittee make this appeal to the Chrlittlan and benevolent public, that they may be enabled to send to the 3,000,000 of the native Irish, religious instruction in that lan guage which they can understand.

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 duc, Namely, that all I say is true. You, Messrs. MOSES I wou'd 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 'em, 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. Your 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 With 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 quality I find At your Establishment combined. And while this principle discloses, I'll be A CUSTOMER TO MOSES. E. MOSES and SON invite especial attention to their Shooting coats, which possess a peculiar cut and style, adding much comfort in the tit. E.

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 g uaran t ees an d li a biliti es as will entirely hand over to the companies sought to be guaran teed the whole< capital of tge - Caledonian Company, amounting to 3,433,108/." Mr. Ripon 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 had very little capital invested in the Caledonian beyond the amount necessary to qualify them to act, 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 held in England, that 1-40th were held in Scotland, and 1.40 th 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 other lines, that they should have the position and prospects of the company investigated and reported Upon; and that the proceedings foe leasing or purchasing the Scottish Mid land, Scottish Central, Dundee and Perth, and Aber deen Junction, ought to be suspended until such report had been considered by the proprietors.

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.

The - unprecedented sale of these Pills, arising from the earnest recommendations of the many thousands who have derived benefit from their me, render any lengthened comment unnecessary.

The stomach will speedily regain its strength; a healthy action of the Liver, Bowels and Kidneys 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.

OVE is the leading feeling of the human I , • breast. More 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, er 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 tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. Ifow 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, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualifled, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable ! Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. These desirous of investigating it will find the fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled SELF-PRESERVATION. illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the reproductive organs; with practical observa tions en the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from solitary habits, excesses, ol• infection. • By SAMUEL LA'ME/tT, M.D., Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Mall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c.

La'Mert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. 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 us such it monitor is to be found, calculated to warn awl instruct the erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of Philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally, upon all who are tempted 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 a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine." —United Kingdom Magazine.

This long delayed branch opened this (Wednesday) morning, the first train leaving Reading at 5 minutes past 9, and doing the distance (151 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 7. 1 1 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 line 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 formerly, by 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 is now in progress. By this line, therefore, the connexion will be complete between the South- 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 less than halt the time, without being damaged, as has fro• quentlY been' le 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 Winchtield 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 T summits AGAINST ACCID E NT S e Elly RAILWA Y COMMIS COLLISION.—In re porting upon accidents b y collision—the most aggravated form of railway casualty, . but now, owing to the great care adopted by the companies, the least recurring cause of accident—the Railwaytbiitp _Commissioners, as the result of investigation in thirty-seven cases, recommend that in large trains there should . be a sufficient number of guards to work the brakes, and that collisions are to be attributed to their deficiency, It had beets that a brake should be attached to every fourth carriage, and, by a royal ordinance of the late Government of France, a similar proposition was enjoined for all the trains on the French railways. They consider it ques tionable, however, whether, with the ext raor d inary spee d this ' now commonly in use, even proportion would aff or d sufficient security. The C ommissioners assume that the same power which can stop train within a given dis tance from a speed of twent; 're miles an hour wo u ld require nearly four times- that distance, und e r similar circumstances, tostop epced of fifty miles an hour, a train from a a speed now frequently adopted. To attach a number of guards duly pro portioned to its weight and the speed . at which it is to travel would cause a consid erab t l b e e in c crease . in the work ing charges of railways; but important tu om be mmsioners con sider the question too abandoned on such grounds, and that it requires the serious considera tion of every railway company in the kingdom. They have pointed out to Captain finish, of the London an d 1 North-Western, these their view s as to the evil of a deficiency of brake power in magnifying the effects of collisions, in ord er to the making some joint recommen dation to be generally adopted fur pablic safety. The Commissioners are also of opinion that the unequal height and gauge of what are called "buffers" tend to aggravate the injurie s arisin g from accidents b y collision, and they recommend uniformity as far as possibl e . A new eight-wheeled engine has been running on the London and North-Western, with 100 tons, a t an average running speed of fifty-one, and at a maximum running speed of fifty - t h r ee, miles an hour. Thi s is one of the greatest performanc es of the " narrow" gauge as yet, and is looked upon as a stolen march on its rival the broad."

The line, which has just been inaugurated, unites the two chief cities of Hainault, Mons and Tourney, an d connects with the general reseau of the Belgian railways the district of Ath and the surrounding cantons, and opens the most direct communication, by Tournay with Lisle, Calais, the north of France , and Brussels, on the one hand, Charleroi, Namur, the south and east of Bel gium, and the whole of Germany, on the other hand, The West Flanders railways will be very much benefited by the opening of the Tourney and Jurbise line, which is thirty miles in extent. The Earl of Lincoln arrived in town yesterday from Nuneham. 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 com 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 villanous 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 bona 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, B. E. Nov. 1, 1848. 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 public, bring 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 inlor mation.—l am, Sir, yours, &c. JOS. iIASELDEN, Of the firm of John Haselden and Son, Brokers. Liverpool, Nov. 1, 1848. CHARGE OF ROBBERY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—Having my attention called by a friend to your report of Worship -street in yesterday's paper, in winch my poor unfortunate boy stands charged with robbing his employer of copper• plates and selling them for old copper—l shall not now attempt to extenuate the crime with which he stands charged. 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 inlormed 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 affair 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.

DUBLIN, MONDAY.—A man, of the name of Fitz gerald, was arrested in the p, dice 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. lama LAW Ch ANGES.—The Evening Packet 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, anti has met with their approbation. Ru mour has already selected an eminent equity lawyer, now upon the Exchequer-bench, as likely to be the first occupant of the Vice-Chancellor's seat. POLITICAL REFUGEES.--Mr. Joseph M. Rivers, o: T.) broughney Castle, county Kilkenny, has arrived in France, and is now in Boulogne-sur-Mer. Mr. T. B. Ryan, of Li:cahill, 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 Americo. TRIAL OF MR. KE VIN IZOD O'DOHERTY. Yesterday, the 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 term of years, 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 which there had been a conviction under that Act, the penalty of transportation had 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 fur 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, ho 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 verd:ct 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 were not granted, when the tax-collector next came to his residence he would tell him to call again ? Judge CRAMPTON—That was not said by Lord Al thorp, Mr. Butt. Mr. Burr—Well, 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 it 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 de fence : Edward Purdon—l printed the Tribune newspaper. Dr. Antisell first called upon me with a view to get an estimate of the cost of printing; there 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 the 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 iith it. When the paper first appeared Mr. O'Doherty used to come to my office. - Cress•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 moi:ey yet due to me for the printing of the 1 ribune newspaper, fur which I hold no security. Thomas Connor proved that M'Keevcr had 51. from him to go to Carrick; some days afterwards he came to me and said that ha had changed his mind, and had not gone to the country, but that he had secluded himself in the Brazen Head hotel; he offered back a portion of the 51., and said he was willing to run the risk of a line for not obeying the subpoena. Afterwards saw him at the hotel, and - asked him, amongst other matters, how he had proved Mr. o'Polierty' s h.ndwriting at the l as t tri a l, an d he said that it was his province to post the entries from the day book into the ledger, ard that he was told these entries were in the handwriting of Mr. ('Doherty. I asked him wheal, r 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'Duherty's counsel,inorder 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. Sir. 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._ fir. 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 mado 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 hero closed. 'I he SOLICITOR-GENERAL then rose and said, that it now became his duty to address the jury on the part of the prosecution. lie 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 beforo 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. lie denied that what the Learned Counsel for the prisoner had laid down was the law of the land. He had said that a general insurrection or rising of the people in Dublin, Cork, Waterford, Youghul, 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 l a i d down that 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 the statute would exclude that con structive levying of war. The.SOLICIToII-GENERiL said he was only desirous that the public should not understand that the people had a right to rise in the different parts of the country, and resist to the death the exportation of provisions. The questions for the jury were these:—Hau the prisoner en tertained the intention of deposing the Queen from the Imperial Crown of the United Kingdom, and had he not manifested it by these publications in his journal?—also, whether he compassed the levying of war and express( 1 that design? Mr. O'Doherty and Mr. Williams had made a declaration stating that they were the sole and only proprietors of the Irish Tribune, which rendered them civilly and criminally responsible for the treasonable manifestos which appeared in their journal. That they were treasonable, he thought there could be no doubt. The British " foe," referred to so often, meant every man who was well affected to his Sovereign, and desired to preserve the unity of this great empire. It was possible that an article might be inserted in a daily paper without the knowledge of the proprietor ; but that could not happen with respect to a weekly journal, where every article was inserted after mature delibera tion; aed in this instance, the paper was actually esta blished for the purpose of effecting a revolution—sever ing England from Ireland, and setting up a Republic. The Learned Counsel admitted that these publications were so seditious and so atrocious, that if the prisoner were indicted for sedition he would not defend him. The Solicitor-General then referred to the evidence of li•Keever as to the handwriting of the prisoner, and contended that it clearly established his guilt. It was a disgrace to the administration of justice in Ireland that, when a man was charged with a heinous offence of this nature, tending to shako the bonds of society, every person who came forward to give evidence against him was branded as an informer and held up - to obloquy and scorn. No one had been calleci 04-er ti t e hi,. A somewhat warm altercation hese took place (occu• --'~.~ SPECIAL CONSTABLES. On Wednesday evening last, a public dinner was given to the working men who acted as specialconstables 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 Exchange, surrounded by upwards of 70 fine healthy specimens of English farmers, men whose stalwart limbs and honest countenances formed a most pleasing picture. After 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, end which was followed by the National Anthem, which was sung in good style. Then followed the usual loyal and patriotic toart.. 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 O. Strong, Esq., Col. Robinson, who commanded the Camberwell divison, and the other magistrates of the district, and thanks to th'em 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 be replied . in a very feeling manner. On the health of Mr. Bird, rho 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, be 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. Wtstnn, jun., for his exertions in obtaining the subscriptions &c. Each of the wo r ki 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. Co UK. TCitt ULAR. 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 Railway.

Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial= office, from the Governors of the North American Colonies. POST- OFFICE ROBBERIES.—The present rage for economy vents itself as usual upon those servants of the public who really do the work, and ttose,unfortunates-r -the postmen—who occupy the most pixie! post Under Government, Government, are t r yi ng t o make both ends meat, by coolly taking all the money fore,ardecl by letter, as vo luntary Axmeributions 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, you must stand 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 tilt 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; tend 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 sularies.—Funch. INLAND NAVIGATION AND RAILW AY MISSION.— Last night the 11th anniversary meeting of the friends and supporters of 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 operatif,ns of the society, which stated that the recorded visits to railway labourers, boat men and bargemen, and their families, during the past ye a r, were 13 , 543 , being an in crease f nearly 5,000 on the p rev i ous y ear; 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. iod., including too/. in hand to meet expenditure of schools at Wolverhamp ton and London. The expenditure exceeded the amount of receipts by 17/. 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 OF FALLOW LAND.—Although the sys tem of farming has now been so far improved alto render the cleaning of fallow land an easy matter co*pared to what it once was, still there is a good deal t o he done in this way in marry places. Permi t me to offer'll 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 u very laborious and tedious nature, and time can often so ill be spared for it, that the work is performed i ' perfectly. 1 This is partic u l ar l y t h e case when the weathe is wet in spring. Th e p l an I suggest is, to give the lan intetnyied to be green cropped a very slight furrow es soon al present grain crop is removed, and the whole (tourpletely grubbed and harrowed, to bring up the weeds to the surfuce ' which should b e i ns t ant l y gat h ered 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 management. When this has been accom pli.hed, 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 hale-lessened; beside,., she ground will te rendered more permeable to the in flu:nce of the winter's troit, and consequently better suited to yield a profitable return in its season. Let the system once be trio.' and I doubt not that it will soon bc come common from the fact of its proving a remunerat mg plan.—Cor. of ziyrshire Ayriculturi,,t.
