IRELAND. TBIA.L OF MR. O'DOHERTY, OF THE TRIBUNE " NEWSP,IPER. DUBLIN, MONDAY. The third trial of M r. Kevin Izod O'Doherty, one of the proprietors of the Tribune newspaper, was com menced this morning in the Commission Court. The facts elicited to-day were essentially similar to those on the first and second trials of the prisoner in the early part of August last, when the juries on each disagreed. At ten o'clock Judges Torrens and Crampton took their seats on the bench, when Kevin Izod O'Doherty was placed at the bar. The Attorney and Solicitor Generals, Mr. Baldwin, Q.C., Mr. O'Brien, Q.C., Messrs. Smyly, Pennefather, and Perrin appeared as counsel for the Crown ; Mr. Butt, Q.C., Sir Coleman O'Loghlin, and Mr. O'Hagan for the prisoner. Several jurors were put by on both sides. The following jury was sworn:— Thomas Clarendon, Great Brunswick-street; Thomas Lead Milliken. 4, Parliament-street; George Boles, 1, wower Ormond-quay; Isaac Farrell, 210, Great Bruns- Rick-street; Joseph Kirk, 22, Jervis-street; Thomas Figgis, 72, Abbey-street; Mau rice Brookes, 20, Abbemy street ; William Frazer, 37, Arran-quay; James Charles, 61, Mary-street; William Dunbar, 1, Dorset-street; David Foster, 24, Lower Ormond quay; Richard Con nell, 54, Aungier-street. The Clerk- of the Crown then arraigned the prisoner the usual manner. The indictment: contained ten distinct counts, charging the prisoner with the separate offences of having compassed to depose the Queen from the Imperial Crown of the United Kingdom, and of having compassed the levying of war against her Ma jesty, in order to compel her to change her measures and counsels. These two intentions were charged to have been manifested by the prisoner in certain articles pub lished in a newspaper called the Irish Tribune, of which he, together with a person named Richard D. Williams, were the joint proprietors. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then rose to address the jury on the part of the Crown. He said that in this case the prisoner, Mr. K evin Izod O'Doherty, stood charged before the jury with the commission of a felony. The Legislature had t hou g ht fit, on the 22d of April to assimilate the law of England and Ireland in that respect—to mitigate the severity of the English law on the one hand, and on the other to constitute the offence a felony in both countries. Having explained the law, he said it was but right that he should inform the jury that the prisoner had already been tried by two - juries of his countrymen, and that on both occasions the juries had disagreed as to his guilt. He should remark that the evidence given upon the first of those two trials was not precisely the same as was given on the second; but the evidence adduced for the Crown on the second trial was substantially similar to that which would be given in the present investigation. Now no one could entertain a more sincere respect than he did for the opinions of a jury ; and if he found, when en gaged in the discharge of his official duty, that one, two, or three jurors only had come to a conclusion that the prisoner was guilty, he would certainly not have pee him on his trial a second time ; but such, he had rekson to believe, was not the case; and his present im pression was, that they had then an opportunity of considering with greater care than before a new doctrine, which was propounded at the last commission, and if possible effect a final settlement of the law which related to the responsibility of newspaper proprietors. Uuder these circumstance, he felt it to be his duty to submit the case of Mr. O'Doherty to a third jury, in order to to ascertain whether, under the direction of the Court, they could have any doubt whatever that he was not only legally but morally guilty of the offences with which he was charged. The Learned Gentleman then defined at some length the state of the law as applicable to the proprietors of newspapers, and contended that the pri soner, as one of the proprietors of the Irish Tribune, should be held responsible for every article published in that paper. On this subject, however, he called on them to receive the law as it would be stated to them by the Court, and to place no reliance on any legal definitions that might be given to them by him self or the counsel for the prisoner, except it was in perfect conformity with the opinion of the Court. Of matter% of fact, however, he should, at the same time, in form them, they (the jury) were the sole judges, and they alone competent to draw inferences from the facts proved in evidence. The Learned Counsel then stated that the publications for which the prisoner had been indicted consisted of five distinct articles, which appeared in two consecutive numbers of the Irish Tribune, published on the Ist and Bth of July, entitled as follows:—" Our Harvest Prospects," " Courage," " A Lesson from the Insurrection of Paris," and two other articles, each headed " Our War Department." Having read through all these articles, which we published at length when the prisoner was first tried at the last commission, and hav ing centmented upon various passages contained in them, the Attorney-General, in conclusion. proceeded to ob serve that, so far as he himself was concerned, lie en tertained no personal feelings of hostility towards the prisoner, and that, whatever any portion of the public might think to the contrary, he was resolved to die ohargo the duty he owed to his Sovereign to the satis faction of his own conscience. With reap et to any expres sions that might be used towards nun for the part he had taken in any of the state prosecutions wbieli he had found it necessary to institute, he could onl , say that there existed in his owns mind no feeling of hostility to the writers of any newspapers, and he looked forward with confidence to the good sense of the public to justify him iu every step he had tastes in the discharge of the duties of his office. It was necessary also to mention that when that case was tried for the first time befere the Lord Chief Baron, at the last consmissioa, the of ly evidence given upon the part of the Crown con sisted of the mere publication of tie newspapers them selves by the prisoner, as a responsible preprie:or o 7 the Tribune, and that, under such circumstances, it leas quite impossible for the prisoner to prove tbet he sac rot, both it law and in fact, responsible fir their con tents. The Learned Gentleman cite„ the cases of " The King v. Walter," the proprietor of the Times newspaper, and " The King v. Gutch," Fisher and Alexander, with a view to satisfy the Court that the proprietor of a newspaper was both civilly and criminally answerable for tee conduct of the servants or agents whem he em ployed to conduct his paper. He taen referred to the manuscript of the article entitled " Our Harvest Pros pects." which he alleged to be in tae prisoner's own handwriting, and drew the attention of the jury to the fact, with which the public are already acquainted, of the loss of one of the pages of the document. Having in the next plats compared the imperfect manuscript with the printed article in the Tribune, the Attorney-Ge neral proceeded to remark that the jury would themselves see the document, and would have an opportunity of examining it. It was impos sible for him to say why the jury on the last trial had disagreed; but the Learned Counsel who d:4ended the pri soner commented upon the circumstance that only one gen tleman had been produced to swear to the handwriting of the prisoner. lie the (Attorney-General) did not say that the prisoner was bound to produce his friends and relatives to disprove that the document was in Lie handwriting, but the identity of hankie, riting was a mat ter of opinion. The prisoner was a member of the medical profession ; he served his time to Mr. Donovan, the chemist, Clare-street, and in that establishment a Mr. M'Keever also did business. That gentlemen would be produced to identify the handwriting of the prisoner. Upon the last trial that gentleman deposed to his handwriting ; he was the only person that would be produced to prove the handwriting in the manuscript ascribed teethe prisoner ; and he (the Attorney- General) said, unfeignedly and truly, that if a single witness conscientiously told him that he believed the document was not in the handwriting of the prisoner, he would feel it to be his duty to produce him. Ob servations were made on the last trial in reference to the non-production of Mr. Donovan. If he (the At torney-General) believed that Mr. Donovan would be able to swear that the handwriting was not that of the prisoner he would have brought him forward as a witness. and he should not be taunted with the non production of persons who might have been produced by the prisoner's counsel if their evidence could serve him. Charles Vernon, examined by the SOLIcITUR-GE NERAL—Was registrar of newspapers in the Stamp office. Knew the prisoner. Produced the certified copy of the certificate of the prisoner's proprietorship of the Trieune newspaper, and proved the signature of the prisoner to two publications of the paper (the Ist and Bth July.) Luke Prender—Was a sergeant of police. On the sth July went to the establishm en t o f Mr. Purdon, on Bachelor's-walk. Went there 't o apprehendlaade a Hoban, the ts' search for registered printer of the Tribune. papers. Got a great quantity of manuscripts , con veyed them to the Lower Castle-yard. Witness proved his signature to ,he articles , " Our Harvest Prosp "A Lesson from the Insurrection of Paris"--" Courage" eeta, end " Our War Department." These were portions of the papers which he found at the establishment on Ba chelor's-walk. Michael M'Glinn, police-constable, proved having pur chased a paper at the Tribune office. Francis M'Keever examined—Was in the employment of Mr. Donovan, chemist, Clare-street. The prisoner was serving his apprenticeship at the time that he was there. (Manuscript produced.) To the best of his opinion it was all in the handwriting of the prisoner. Cross-examined by Mr. BUTT—Left Mr. Donovan's establishment about eight days ago. Thought he would return to it. Saw no reason to say that he would not return. His reason for leaving Mr. Donovan's was to keep out of the way from being examined. Slept in the Brazen Head Hotel, and during the day went to the country. Did not ask Mr. Connor for 5/. to leave town, but told him that he had not money to go away, other• wise he would go to Carrick-on-Suir. Met Mr. Connor in his yard by appointment, and he gave him 5/. to go out of town; and, as he had already stated, he did go to the country every day, and slept in the hotel each night. Did tell Mr. Connor that he would go to Car rick- on-Sail', bat as the money was not sufficient he did not go, but remained in the hotel, and went to the country in the day time as described. Could not tell what was Mr. Connor's impression as to whether he had or had not gone to Carrick-on-Suir. Never told Mr. Connor that the way he proved the handwriting was by comparing it with the writing in the shop-book. Did not expect to gain anything by giving evidence against the prisoner, Mr. BUTT produced a letter which was written by the witness to Mr. Connor, to whom it was addressed. Witness acknowledged that the letter was in his hand writing. Charles Pemberton, examined by the ATTORNEY GEWERAL—I know the policeman Prender. lam em ployed by the commissioner of police. Prender brought tome a qu an tity o f p a p e rs, which he said he found in the Tribune office. I delivered them to the Crown l solicitor. Cross-examined by Mr. BllTT—(Manuscript papers of Our Harvest Prospects," and " Our War Department, handed to witness)—These are the papers given me by the policeman Prender ; some of the papers, which I did not consider material, I rejected, and did not forward to Mr. Kemmis. They were never out of my custody from the time I got them from Prender until I handed them to Mr. Kemmis. I cannot swear that they are in the same state now as when they were in my possession. I cannot swear that there was not another page of the document headed " Our Harvest Prospects" when it was in my possession. I cannot say the page was wanting when I first got the document. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then gave in evidence the following documents : An attested copy of the declaratio n of proprietorship of the Tribune newspaper, which was signed by Mr. O'Doherty in the presence of Mr. Vernon, of the Stamp office; the two copies of the Irish Tribune of the Ist and Bth of July, containing the indicted articles, and signed by the prisoner ; and the imperfect manuscript of the article entitled " Our Harvest Prospects." The case for the Crown closed here, and the Court adjourned till ten o'clock next morning. The LORD MAYOR—If such were the case, it would be an aggravation of his crime; for, in again marrying, he was making those who were aware of the fact parties to the felony. The prisoner requested to be allowed to remain at the Giltspur-street Compter until the time of trial, for the convenience of consulting his solicitor upon the subject of his defence. The LORD MAYOR peremptorily refused to grant the favour, and said that Newgate presented adequate facili ties.—The prisoner, against whom several strong ex pressions of hardly suppressed indignation were uttered during the investigation, was then committed for trial. Between the fir's't examination and the committal of the prisoner, a gentleman of the medical profession, to whom the prisoner had become accidentally known in In dia, waited upon the Lord Mayor, and gave some details which showed that the fellow had been long in the habit of imposing upon young females by a variety of gross misrepresentations, and that he spoke of his marriages as forming examples of genius in his plans of seduction. As the case at present stands, the heaviest punishment that can be inflicted upon the prisoner is transportation for seven years; but it is believed that the Apothecaries' Company will come forward to prosecute him for the forgery of the certificate. The LORD MAYOR stated to the friends of the pcor young women who have been the victims of the prisoner, that as the case appeared to him to be one in which the interests and feelings of the public were essentially con cerned, he should direct the City Solicitor to prosecute. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. NEff COURT. (Before the CoMMON SERUEANT.) Joseph Maclaren, a labourer, 23, and James Pomeroy Boobner, a shoemaker, aged 42, were indicted for steal ing a cash-box, containing a 51. note, ten sovereigns, and other moneys, the property of James Barker, in his dwelling-house. Mr. O'Brien prosecuted, and Mr. Parry defended. It appeared that the prosecutor keeps the Fortune of War public-house, in Giltepur-street, and Maclaren was servant in the house. On the night of the 22d of Sep tember there was a party there, which broke up about three in the morning, when there was a great disturb once; and when they were leaving, the prisoners were seen behind the bar on their knees, near where the cash box was kept, and a chinking of money was heard. As soon as the party had left the cash-box was missed, and the circumstance becoming known, the fact of the pri soners being seen where they had, was mentioned. Mr. PARRY contended there was no evidence to show the prisoners stole the box. The prisoners were found Guilty, and the Common Sergeant, in passing sentence, remarked upon the fla grant nature of the case, the more particularly as far as Maclaren was concerned, he being a servant in the em ploy of the prosecutor. Maclaren was then sentenced to seven years' trans portation, and Boobner to one year and hard labour. Edwin James Lucas surrendered to take his trial upon an indictment charging him with having stolen a quantity of stereotype plates, the property of James I Silverlock. Mr. Parry prosecuted and Mr. Clarkson defended. The prisoner had been in the employ of the pro secutor, who is a printer in Doctors' Commons. Pro secutor, having a suspicion that he was being robbed, set a watch upon his men, and the result was that the prisoner's premises were searched, and some plates, partly melted down, and some metal belonging to pro secutor, found. In cross-examination it was elicited that the prisoner might have taken the metal home to try experiments in stereotype casting. The jury Acquitted the prisoner. James Spackman, aged 23, and Mark Barker, 42, two labourers, were indicted for stealing twenty bushels of wheat, the property of William James Reynolds the master of Spackman. The case, which has been fully given under the head of the police intelligence during the past week, was most conclusive, and the jury found them Guilty, and they were transported for seven years. Edwin Gatehouse and William Dowley, the former a shoemaker, and the latter a clerk, were convicted of a nameless offence.—Sentence deferred. Gatehouse was then indicted for stealing some boots tied shoes, the property of William Towers, his master, and found Guilty. He was then transported for seven years. THIRD COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Bum.oca.) Susannah Taylor, a good• looking young woman, was indicted for having feloniously married one George Scott, her husband, John Taylor, being alive. Mr. Robinson appeared to defend the prisoner. The prosecutor, George Scott, stated that he was a river lighterman. He first became acquainted with the prisoner about eighteen months ago, by meeting her at a public-house in the reighbourhood of Stepney. After keeping company with her some short time she :sliced him if he would marry her ; when he replied, that he did not mind if he did, but he had not then the means at hand wherewith to provide a home. She answered, that was of no consequence, as they could get married first, and g , t a home afterwards. Ile agreed to that course being taken, end about three months after (the 26th of June, 184 ,') iiii , were married at Stepoey Church, by:Mr. Neville, - t,:. , assistant-curate. After the ceremony was pertorwrd, the prisoner went one way, and the witness another. Shortly a'ter the marriage he was walking along High-street, Wsppmg, with the trismer on his I arm .wli a a woman came up and told the prisoner that she ought to be ashamed of herself for being with a man, she being another man's wife, but she denied it, and witness believed her. However, from circumstances he ha-I learned, he went to Bethnal-green Old Church, and, en insp—ting the register, he found that she really was married to Taylor, and procured a copy of the register 1 (_) his own marriage to her, and caused her to be taken THE QUEEN AND PRINCE ALBERT IN THE COURT OF CHANCERY. Her Majesty and the Prince are well known as patrons of the arts. They are not " patrons" in a merely vulgar sense, but themselves follow art in various branches with a pure love not often manifested by royal persons. Our readers may remember to have read an account, not long since, of various drawings and etchings which have been executed by her Majesty and Prince Albert, and which excited a deserved admiration in those who were so favoured as to be allowed to inspect them. These drawings, or etchings, or copies of them, it seems, have, by some scandalous turpitude, being abstracted from the palace without authority. They were taken to a publisher in Paternoster-row, who proceeded to ad vertise them for publication, with a " descriptive catalogue." It was not to be supposed that this piracy could be allowed to pass. That the parties aggrieved were our gracious Queen and her Consort, was no reason why punishment should not follow the offence. Accordingly, it was resolved that pro ceedings should be taken to restrain the individual in question from proceeding with his threatened publi cation. It was necessary that Prince Albert should make an affidavit, which he did. We subjoin an abstract of it : The deponent describes himself as " Albert, Prince of Saxe Coburg and Gotha, Consort of her Majesty the Queen," and maketh oath and saith :—" That he has looked through the book intituled A Descriptive Catalogue of the Royal Victoria and Albert Gallery of Etchings.' That there are such etchings made by her Majesty and himself respectively as therein mentioned—that the same were so made for the private use of her Majesty and himself, and not for publication. That they had a private press, from which they occasionally took impres sions of the etchings, and that the plates were and are kept locked up by her Majesty, in order to prevent the same becoming public ; but that copies are left in some of the private apartments, and in such private apartments only. That there are various family portraits and etchings from old and rare engravings in the possession of her Ma jesty, and several from such original designs as in this catalogue mentioned, and that amongst such etchings are several portraits of the Princess Royal, and such scenes in the royal nursery as in the catalogue mentioned. That such etchings were in tended for the private use of her Majesty and the de ponent only. That although some of such etchings hare been given occasionally and very rarely to the personal friends of her Majesty, yet the deponent says, speaking positively for himself and to the best of his belief for her Majesty, that no suck col lection as that advertised for exhibition was ever given away by them or either of them, or by their or either of their permission. That no such collection could have been formed, except by impressions surrepti tiously and improperly obtained, and believes that the defendant or the person or persons in the possession of the collection advertised for exhibition must have obtained, and did obtain the same from some person or persons surreptitiously. That by whatever means the same were obtained, the exhibition of the said etchings, or any of them, is without the sanction and against the wishes of her Majesty and deponent, and believes that such catalogue could not have been compiled or made except by possession of the several impressions of the said etchings so surrep titiou-ly obtained. That the deponent's first knowledge of the existence of such Catalogue of Etchings was on the 11th of October instant, when it was given to deponent by G. E. Anson, Esq., as a parcel which had been left at the Palace, directed to her Majesty, and opened by him as her Privy Purse, and deponent thereby learnt for the first time that it was intended to submit them to public exhibition, and he believes on the same occasion, arid at the same time, her Majesty first became aware of the existence of such catalogue, and deponent immediately desired the said G. E. Anson, Esq., to write to the private , solicitor of her Majesty on the subject." Upon this affidavit an injunction was granted to restrain the publisher in question from proceeding further in the business. The application was made, and the injunction granted. It appears that in a legal point of view the question is a new one. The case of piracy of drawings not intended for publication does not appear to have come before the courts in any previous instance. The nearest case to it, in which an injunction has been granted, was where the application was to restrain the publication by a piratical bookseller of Arch deacon Paley's MS. sermon after his death..—Atlas. into custody. Mrs. Scott, prosecutor's mother, produced the copies from the register, and proved that they were the correct ones. The prisoner's father proved that she had lived with Taylor, and was, he believed, his wife; and he stated, that 25 the prisoner had never lived with Scott, Tailor considered that his honour was unimpeacbed by the double marria , re, and would therefore receive her back as his wife the moment she was out of prison. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended her to mere•. The Learned JUDGE sentenced the prisoner to one month's hard labour. W. Crofts and Francis Viner were indicted for steal ing six quarters of oats and fourteen sacks, the property of Mr. Tomlin, of the Torrington Arms; and John Sea ley, corn-dealer, of Theohald's-road, and Sarah, his wife, were charged with feloniously receiving the property. The case having been proved, several witnesses spoke to Sealey's good character. lie was well known on the Corn Exchange. The jury found the prisoners Guilty, but recommended them to mercy on account of their good character. The Learned COMMISSIONER sentenced Croft and the two Sealeys to one'year's hard labour each, and Viner to fourteen days in Newgate. MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.

Henry Bramall, alias Henry Edward Braman, alias Henry Beaumont, was brought before the Lord Mayor for final examination, charged with having married several young women, all of whom are now living. The interest excited by this case gathered together a large assemblage of respectable persons of both sexes, many of whom were the friends of the ladies who were victimized. The prisrner was quite unmoved during the investi gation. Mr. Buchanan, soi &aut., attended for him, but he very nirrowly watched the evidence himself, and seemed to calculate upon some chance arising from in,- perfect identification. The Rev. Alexander Fletcher was the first witness called. He stated that in the year 1839 he married Henry Bramall to Rebecca Coach, in Princes-street Chapel, Devonport. He believes the prisoner to be the man he married upon the occasion. The certificate of the marriage, which stated that it had taken place on the 18th of August, was here pro duced and authenticated. Elizabeth Tinley stated that she had been married to the prisoner on the 25th of March, 1843. He stated to her that his name was Henry Edward Beaumont, and five mouths after the marriage he went to sea. Emily Georgina Rose, whose affections the prisoner had gained on the passage to India in the vessel in which he was acting as surgeon, and in which she was a pas senger, was the next witness called. The poor young creature was an object of great and general commisera tion. She has not yet attained her sixteenth year, and upon being called according to the customary form to say whether she knew the prisoner, she was quite over powered by her feelings, and sobbed and wept bitterly. It was well that she had but to answer a question or two. She stated that she was now living in Sussex with her friends, and that she had been married to the prisoner at the Old Church, in Fort William, Bengal, on the 30th of October, 1847, and had lived with him after wards as his wife.

Witness—Cer t A letter from the prisoner to his wife, dated N York, 1842, was also p ro d uce d , but was not read. ew The writing was compared to the writing in the ' prisoner's log, in which the prisoner had r ecor d e d his marriage in India to Emily Georgina Rose, as a matter of fact which he had no intention of concealing. Mr. W. Medland, medical and drug agent, Upp er Thames-street, stated that he was marr i e d to prisoner's wife's sister, and knew him well. He b e li eve d the writ ing produced to be that of the prisoner. He had been at the prisoner's house, at St. Blasey, in Cornwall, where the prisoner carried on the business of a druggist. " I met the prisoner, said the witness, " one day in Bishopegate-street, and he told me he was a surgeon to a ship. I expressed some surprise at the circumstance, knowing his want of qualification, and he assured me that he had got his certificate from Apothecaries' Hall. Inquiry was subsequently made at Apothecaries' Hall upon the subject, when it was found that there was no entry of the name." It is supposed that the certificate which he became possessed of belonged to another per son, whose name he erased by a chemicalprocess, for the purpose of substituting his own. The LORD MAYOR—Prisoner, do you wish to say anything?—The prisoner, having retired for some mi nutes in order to communicate with his attorney, de clined making any observations. Mr. Buchanan said the prisoner wished him to state that some of the females who came forward against him knew when they were receiving his addresses that he was a married man. ... 6 ... 10 ... 7 ... 12 DEATHS FROM ♦LL CAUSES ••• I,lo' Population Average weekly Deaths Enumerated, Deaths, 1843-7. in the 1841 Five Summers.

CONSEQUENCES OF REDUCTION.—The passion for mi litary reduction has already produced rich fruits. Prac tically, Mr. Cobden's precious theory of disarmament has been for some time in operation at one part of the frontier of the Cape colony, and the natural result is now apparent. The rebel Prsetorius, who is not a member of any peace society, called upon Major Warden, the British resident at Bloem Fontein, to " give up the country," or have it " taken from him by force," and Major Warden, incapable of offering any resistance with the very small number of troops at his disposal, was compelled to comply. We can appre ciate the bit ter feelings of mortification with which Major Warden and Assistant Staff-Surgeon Fraser signed the capitulation—a document to which British officers are so entirely unaccustomed. On the heavy disgrace which fell upon us in giving up territory to an armed rebel we forbear to enlarge. That it would have happened had 500 men, strongly en trenched, been at the Resident's disposal instead of " 50 in an untenable position," no sane man will venture to assert. Ten times the force of the insurgent boer might then have been defied, and the integrity of British rule fairly upheld until a large body of troops could have been sent from head-quarters. It is true that Sir Harry Smith has, with characteristic energy, promptly vindicated the honour of the British killed army, and scattered the Pretorian bands like chaff; making of Bo em Pl aa t s ano th er Aliwal. But the cost has been serious. S eve n o ffi cers wounded, all severely and dangerously ( one o f t h em s i nce d ea d), eight men an , and thi rty - two woun d ed, i s a h eav y s acrifice in encounter the Governme nt are net the only enemies with which of which mi g ht h av e been avoided had a thefirst sufficie nt force been p os t e d a t Bloem Fontein in instance.

SUGAR.—To-day the market was much better sup plied with colonial Sugar, and former rates were not generally sustained, as buyers were not so desirous to do business as on Friday last.

Green is dull of sale, and further reduced rates are taken. Although Scented Teas have receded in value, yet buyers are not disposed to extend their transactions ; the supply far exceeds the demand.

" —This is a recent invention, for which a patent has been obtained, and of which the results can be seen and tested by anybody in terested in the consumption of gas, at the offices of the patentees, No, 26, King William-street, Charing-cross. Although the apparatus is very small, and the price at which it can be obtained very trifling, its effects are very considerable, and its value comparatively great. It con sists of a neat brass box, or small chamber, about an inch in length, and not more than two thirds of au inch in diameter, which can be attached to any gas-burner, and which is placed about two inches below the orifice from which the gas is emitted and the flame commences. By the contrivance, whkh any person can regulate, and which, on inspection, can be understood at once, however difficult to be described on paper, safety, economy, and cleanliness are effectually secured ; there is no flare, no flickering, no smoke, and none of those occasional jets of soot, by which anything in the neighbourhood of the burner is defiled, arid by which many things of delicate texture are spoilt. The currents of gas are so completely governed and regulated, that the quantity consumed in a given time cannot exceed, whatever the pressure may be, what is requisite for a full height or size of flame ; gas cannot escape into the apartment in which the burner is used. There is no disagreeable vapour produced, no op pression from heat, and no dirt from smoke. For street lamps, the invention will be very useful, for it is well known that when the gas is turned off, about nine o'clock, when it is no longer wanted in shops in the heart of the town, a sudden rush of it takes place in the burners of the lamps in the streets, and particularly in those in the northern district of the town, by which glasses are broken, and a very great amount of expense incurred. In factories it will be of great use, because it gives an equable light, and has no variations of blaze or obseu ration, and in private houses and shops, in which costly articles are contained, its use is self-evident. It is in operation at the premises of the patentees all day long, and can be seen by anybody.—limes. [ADVERTISEMENT.] Nervousness, Lowness of Spirits, Disordered Stomachs, and Indigestion Cured by Pills.—The causes from which these com plaints arise are too numerous for recital, yet nothing lays the foundation sooner than a studious or sedentary life, which disorders the nerves, and other distressing complaints follow such as deranged stomachs,;iadigestion, and lowness of spirits. There is no medicine so certain as Holloway's Pills in allaying the irritability of the nervous system, strengthening the tone of the stomach, creating appetite, improving digestion, and invigorating the constitution. Their purifying nature gives freedom of circulation to the blood, so that by their use the afflicted are speedily restored to health.

MONIST MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris is 14 per milk, which, at the English Mint price of 31 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25.50; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.45, it follows that gold is 0.20 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 436 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17 s . Icid . per ounce for 13.10 i; standard gold, gives an exchang e o f a nd the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.101, it follows that gold is 0.05 per cent. dearer in liamburgli than in London.

[AbvEansamENT:j—lndigestion — that Parent of so many diseases, may be effectually cured by the use of the celebrated Vegetable Restorative Pills, prepared by John Kaye, of Dalton-hall, near Huddersfield. This assertion is not based upon mere opinion or probability, but upon facts. Jonathan Good, tailor, of Winchester, suffered for years from indigestion, he was recommended to try Kaye's Worsdell's Pills, and as the result, be has enjoyed better health than for years before.—Mr. James Noble, of Brampton, Cumberland, writes,—" My wife was for a long time troubled with pains in the stomach, loss of appetite, sickness, and general debility; she was fully restored to health by taking one small box of these Pills." Mrs. W., of Ewelme, Wallingford, writing to Mr. C. J. Vennimore, says,—" - I believe Kaye's Pills saved my life last summer, when I was attacked by the Cholera." Ellen Egglestone, Feling-bridge, near Bi shop Auckland, was affected with disease of the bowels for two years, but was restored to perfect health by tak ing one box of Kaye's Worsdell's Pills." Every one suffering from Bile, Flatulency, or Indigestion, is earnestly recommended to give these Pills a trial.

A public meeting was held at the Court-house, War wick, yesterday (Tuesday) evening, with the view of raising funds towards the erection of training schools for the diocese of 'Worcester. The Lord Bishop presided, and was supported by noblemen and gentlemen of influ ence. A numerous attendance remained throughout the proceedings, which were rather prolix. Perhaps it is not inaccurate to say that nearly one-half the audience w e re clergymen, and the remaining portion was com posed chiefly of ladies. The chair was occupied temporarily by the Earl of Denbigh until the arrival of the Bishop, who had been prevented from being present at the hour appointed. Viscount LIFFORD, in a few remarks, moved the first resolution, to the effect that the circumstances and exi gencies of the country call for increased efforts on the part of the friends of national education. This resolution was seconded by the Venerable Arch deacon SPOONER. C. B. ADDERLEY, Esq., M.P., proposed the second resolution, to the effect that educational efforts should be directed mainly to raising the character and qualifi cations of our parochial schoolmasters, and that this end would be best attained by means of training insti tutions such as that proposed by the present meeting. In prefacing the resolution, Mr. Adderley remarked that it was a great point gained to have; arrived at una nimityas to the means by which the great object contem plated by the previous resolution might be carried out. The object need never been discussed again. Training schools were decided on as being the most efficient means for raising the standard and qualifications of our parochial teachers, and it therefore only remained to use the best means for putting the institution into opera tion. To this opinion the Worcester side of the diocese had testified its adherence by large contributions, and now it only rested with the Warwick district of the see to give a similar mark of their approval. He might mention that it was proposed to erect the training school in the neighbourhood of Birmingham, and it would be open to students from any part of the country, with preference to those of the diocese. A certain number of students would be edu cated there, at an expense of Bs. per week, for forty seven weeks annually, making allowance for vacations; and the length of the course would be fouryears, the object being to provide a superior class of schoolmasters, not only for the diocese, but for the whole kingdom. The Rev. J. SANDFORD, vicar of Dunchurch, seconded Mr. Adderley's motion. The next resolution was moved in a speech of great length by the Right Honourable Lord LYTTELTON. The resolution ran as follows :—" That the re cent minutes of the Committee of the Privy Council on Education afford facilities for raising the attain ments and condition of the schoolmaster, of which this diocese may advantageously avail itself." In the course of his remarks on this motion, his Lordship ob served that the want of training schools existed in an equal degree three or four years ago, but there was not the general recognition of that want which had since arisen. Last year the number of pupil teachers in training in the schools throughout England were about 1,000, now they were about 1,800, or nearly double. —(Hear, hear.) Now the principle being admitted, and it had been by this and previous meetings, that training schools are the most efficient means of carrying out the objects in view for raising the grade of education, he would state that the first estimated expense of the proposed Worcester :diocesan training school was about 4,000/., but it had since been necessary, from various causes, considerably to increase that sum. In its aid 5,4241. had already been actually raised in this diocese, and the National Society had added a donation of 8001., notwithstanding the condi tion—far from flourishing—in which its funds at present are. A total sum of 6,200/. has thus been already raised by voluntary subscription in aid of the institution, and about 2,0001. more was still required. The archi tects had given the committee to understand that the two schools fur the accommodation of 60 pupils might be erected for 8,000/., exclusive of a chapel, and of a site for the buildings. At this point of the proceedings the Bishop entered the room, and the Rev. Esrdley Wilmot, Vicar of Ken ilworth, addressing the chair, craved to be heard. The REV. GENTLEMAN requested the Committee to state whether they intended to adopt the standard of qualification that had been put forward by the Govern ment, as he for one felt that that standard was far too high for the wants of rural and agricultural parishes, and precluded many men of diligence and piety from acting as teachers. Several rererend:gentlemen also addressed the chair, and expressed apprehension that the Council of Educa tion exercised an amount of control over the school which might be dangerous to the interests of the Church. Lord LYTTELTON replied at much length, contradicting the impression as quite unfounded. His Lordship pointed out that the Government claimed the right of inspection only, and that the visitorial power over the school was 1: ft with the Bishop of the diocese, which ought to bs sullisient to satisfy Rev. Gentlemen that the interests 01 the Church would be attended to. The maximum standard to be adopted in the institution, so fan as the provisional committee might say, would, all likelihood he equal to the Government qualifications. inasmuch as the Government aid was offered to the pu pils as a reward for attaining that standard ; those who did not acquire that standard, must be serviceable in schools of less requirements. After some discussion on the subject, C. H.

It was rumoured on the Paris Bourse yesterday that the troops of Windischgratz and Jellachich had been attacked under the walls of Vienna by the Hunga rians, and had been defeated with great loss. Letter:, were received in Paris from Vienna of the 25th, which make no mention of the commencement of hostilities against that city. M. de Tocqueville has been appointed the represen tative of France in the conference on the Italian question. We read in the Moniteur "Numerous copies of a political placard were yesterday ent posted on on the walls of Paris, and attracted the which h ion of i t e passers-by.. t i a l g e i s , ,mboadse alsoo f publication,tbe inconvenience vention with the law of 10th December, u ;h o e n t whether i t b i y e a the h e s u b h j a e n e c t l s , o or f aL i i n ave . its advan glBl3no contra which- contains the following provision :--' Art. 1.

All acts b l y public a u th or iti es a r e excepted from this provision. This law was explicitly main tained by Art. 2 of the d ecree o f March 6, which is thus conceived :-.—` Until it shall have been otherwise enacted by the Constituent National Assembly, all anterior laws, relative to off ences an d contraventions by the press, shall be carried into execution according to all such provisions as have not been repealed by decrees of the Provisional Government: —The placard of which we speak has been taken down, and referred to justice." The placard alluded to by the Moniteur is, we believe, the comparative extracts from the Presse on the subject of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. "In its sitting of yesterday (says the National) the Club of Representatives of the Valais National adopted General Cavaignac as candidate for the office of President of the Republic." The Bie n P u bli c p u blishes the follow in g letter from M. de La msr ti ne , d ate d Saint Point, Oc t. 27:-- " Monsi eur ,—l h ave just read the re p ort of the discussi on on t h e expenses o f the Provision al Gover n . ment. I h ave a r i g h t t o think that my h on ou r able colleague, M. Cr e ton, had not any idea to brin g m y character i n quest i on , i n the words wh i c h h e pro nounced rel a ti ve to t h e 374,000 f. of the s e c ret s er v ice money for foreign affairs, the onl y fund that I had at my dispos a l. According to a phrase of his preceding speech on the same question, M. Creton allowed it to be seen that, in his idea, the mone y could have been employed to foment against foreign territories at tempts at perturbation or invasion, attempts which the Government and myself, on the contrary, condemned and neutralised with a sincerity of which I have proofs in m ossess i o n and of which I want no other witnesses than the foreign powers themselves. M. Creton knows, like every one else, that the em ployment o f t h e secret serv i ce money of the Depart ment of Foreign Affairs cannot b e made p ublic, par ticularly in a time of revolution. The account was rendered t o th e Ki ng a l one , and not in the Council of Ministers. N evert h e l ess , lam ready, as M. Pagnerre declared i n dentially t o th e comm i ttee , c alled for by the members my name, to furnish officia ll y and co n fi of the Provisional Government itself, the documents pr6ving how the 374,000 f. were laid out. I call so little the sincerity of my colleagues in doubt, that I desire to reckon the author of the proposition among the members of the committee, and I want no other judge against the suppositions of M. Creton than M. Creton himself."
