SUGGESTED BY THE IItISEI STATE TRIALS. At a time like the present, we've very good reason To say a few words with regard to High Treason; For a subject like this is by no means too solemn For a matter of trade in a newspaper column. The only idea with E. MOSES and SON, Is to make such a topic a mercantile one. It is said that when persons excite revolution, As traitors, they owe a severe retribution. But here no allusion whatever is made To what may be termed, revolution in trade. E. MOSES and SON, as you all must confess, Ilave caused a complete revocation in dress. And they've levied a war with the trade, as you know, • But the war has been civil — remarkably so ; And MOSES and SON is the efforts they've made, Hays endeavoured to make themselves monarchs in trade. Now, although in the State, this is viewed as High Treason, To apply it to trade is to speak without reason. The trial which MOSES and SON have goes through, Troves them friends to the public in all that they do. Their prime Autumn dress, in its wide distribution, 'Will prove them not foes to a good constitution. And thus has the subject of Treason been Made To servo Messrs. MuliES and SON in their trade. F.

CLONMEL, TIIIISDAY.—The court opened this morn ing at a quarter before 10. T. S. Dobbin, the informer, was the first witness examined. He deposed to baring seen Mr. Meagher at the meeting of the Curran Club at Dublin, in June. Mr. -Meagher was not a member of the Curran Club, but was a registered member of the Grattan Club; he attended a meeting on the 22d of June for the presentation of colours to the club. It was a tri-coloured flag. Mr. Meagher spoke of them standing to their colours to establish the inde pendence of their country. Attended a meeting on the 21st, Mr. Meagher was present. Mr. Dillon was moved to the chair. No business was done until Mr. Meagher came. He was in the room when Mr. Dillon was moved to the chair. It was stated in the room that the meeting was for the election of an executive council. Mr. Dillon announced it from the chair. It was said that a council of twenty-one members was too numerous, as their transactions would ooze out through so many hands, and that there would be more secrecy in a smaller number. Mr. Dill on ment i one d certain f n r a o m m es i‘ o l u r. t D of aff a y le w tt h er brought o wasin to him prison; they Mr. eywer L e Lalor names of persons whom Mr. Duffy wished to be on the executive council; the names of three clergymen were read out—those of Mr. Hughes, Mr. O'Malley, and Mr. Kenyon ; the name of Mr. Lalor was also mentioned; some of the members said, that as it was to be a war council, it was not fit that priests should he on it. The persons announced to be elected were Mr. Dillon, Mr. Meagher, Mr. O'Gorman, jun., Mr. M'Gee, and Mr. Devin Reilly. Mr. Lalor and Mr. 1114Dermott wanted those present to give a pledge that they would expedite the insurrection by the Bth of August; Mr. Meagher objected to give any pledge of that sort, that be would have it on the Bth, but be said be would do all in his power to expedite it even beforp the Bth. Mr. Lalor stated that the council of five were to sit next day to arrange to have four club meetings in Dublin on the next Sunday, the 23d; they were to have no speeches, but the names of the club men were to be called out; they were not to tell the clubs any thing about where they were to meet until about two hours before the meeting, as it wee considered they should be sufficiently well organized to turn out at tw o hours' notice. The object of this meeting was to ascertain the eumericul strength of the clubs ; they were not to he armed. After a lengthened cross-ex a aiination, Dobbin was dismissed, arid a police-officer Isas examined, who proved the finding of the letter to Mr. Smith by Mr. Meagher, nod read in court on the previous day. In Dlr. Smith's house were also found many other letters in Mr. Meagher's hand writing. Voting and other papers taken from Mr. Liam- were then put in evidence and identified. Constable Dunlevie deposed that he was stationed at Ennhcorthy in July last, and that on the morning of Sunday, the 23d, he saw Mr. Smith O'Brien, Mr. Meagher, and Mr. Dillon, come into the town On a car; they addressed the people in the market place. Mr. Meagher said he always was and ever would remain the unrelenting enemy of the British Government ; that he had the honour a short time ago to address 50,000 Tipperary men--that they were prepared to do their duty.---Mr. Dillon said that the Wexford men were brave and determined-- that they all had a gun in a corner, and kept their powder dry, and were always sure to hit their mark. After a great deal of evidence and cross-examina tion, during which it was contended that it was im possible to connect Mr. O'Brien's and Mr. Meagher's purpose together, the Court adjourned till the next day. MEDICAL RELIEF SOCIETT.—Last night the half yearly general court of the above charity, established to afford relief to the widows and orphans of medical men in London and its vicinity, was held at the Gray's-inn Coffee-house, Holborn; Martin Ware, Esq., vice-presi dent, in the chair. From the statement of the past six months it appears that the receipts amounted to 470/., whilst near 700/. had been distributed among 45 appli cants for relief —namely, 33 widows and 12 orphans. There was an increase in the number of sufferers re lieved during the past half-year, proportionably to the advance in the income. The capital is upwards of 45,000/. The report was adopted, and after the election of officers, together with some other routine business had been disposed of; the court adjourned. GREAT SHINJI' MATCH BE TWEEN C ANDLISH OF NEWCASTLE, AND DAWES 07 MANCRESTER.—This match, for 304 a side, came off on Monday, on the Ir well, the distance altogether being about two miles. Candlish's boat, the Fairy Queen, had a very symme trical appearance. It is thirty feet long, and eighteen inches broad amidships. It was built by William Cand lish, a bricklayer, and a brother of the competitor. Dawes appeared in a skiff of the celebrated Doubledee's, built by Noulton and Wilde, of London. It is thirty feet four inches in length. At a quarter-past two the boats were started by Mr. Chew, secretary to the Regatta Cl u b. The start was a very fair one, both boats getting well off together, and thus they continued for about a quarter of a mile. Candlish then gradually drew ahead of his opponent, and maintained the lead, certainly having this in his favour, that the Salford bank of the river protected him from a strong wind which was blowing at the time. On arriving at the turning point, the New castle man was about two boats' length ahead of Dawes, and both boats made the turn remarkably well. From this point Dawes appeared to become dispirited, and never recovered himself. On their way home Candlish gradually drew away from his opponent until he was 300 yards, ahead. lie rested then for some time, until Dawes was close upon him, when ho again drew ahead, and won with the greatest ease by four or five lengths. Candlish sat upon a sort of deck all the time he was rowing. He weighs lOst., and his opponent 10st. 71b. The.betting was unimportant; it was even before the start, and afterwards it - was 3to 2 and sto 4 against Dawes.—Manchester Courier. LIVERPOOL COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—IN EE T. B. AUMANU23.—it will be recollected that a fiat in bank ruptcy against this individual, who has recently cut such a prominent figure in the so-called Irish rebellion, and is now awaiting his sentence at Clonmel, was taken out shortly after he left this town for Ireland. Monday was the day fixed for the last :examination; but the bank rupt, of course, did not appear, for good and sufficient reasons, with which the public are already acquainted. At the rising of the Court, Mr. Ayres, one of the offi cers, proclaimed the bankrupt in the usual form, and called upon him to surrender. According to the bank ruptcy laws, the effect of his non-appearance will be to place him in the position of an outlaw. TEE CHARGE OF POISONING THE CHIEF RABBI OF LEMBERG AND HIS CHILDREN.—A report spread in Germany that the Chief Rabbi of Lemberg and -his family had been poisoned by the orthodox Jews, his antagonists, found its way into most of our daily and weekly journals a few weeks ago. The report truly slated that the Jews suspected of tho foul murder were taken, but the accusation could not be brought home to them, as the Rabbi's cook could not identify them. We have since received letters from a correspondent at Lem bei g, and also the Oberpostanifs Zeitung (a Christian journal), of the 26th ultimo, from which it appears that there is not a particle of truth in the calumnious charge, and that the accused were honourably acquitted—it having been ascertained, on the authority of the medical men in the office of Government, that the Rabbi and his, child died from the effects of malignant cholera, which is fearfully raging i n th a t t own , an d th a t th e other chil dren of the Rabbi who were seized with vomit.ng laboured also under an attack of the same maladzi.—.

Mere exalted than mere passion, it sears 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 LOTE, 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. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the v er y a lt ar , and after a life time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to at honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, er the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable! Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointment. 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 anali•yed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all.

Itlr.l3FOltl3-3QUARI3. LONDON. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNINE PAPERS or THIS DAT. TIMES.—In the course of the last few days two cases of a flagrant kind have been brought under the notice of the Lord Mayor. The peculiar position of the parties on whom the imposition was practised in either case renders it the more odious. 'The pub licity given by the press to such attempts to screw the hard-earned shilling from the industrious poor is the surest guarantee against their recurrence. As the two cases are in pari materid, we unite them in single notice, and we trust that .our repetition of the facts may fall into the hands of many who might otherwise have fallen victims to such attempts upon their credulity. On Saturday last a man named Wil liam George Flynn was brought before the Lord Mayor to answer the charge of two brothers— George and James Cargyll. Such of our readers as are in the habit of studying the advertisements must frequently have seen announcements headed— " The Sea, the Sea ;" " Midshipmen Wanted ;" "To Parents and Guardians," &c., intimating " that vessels of the larger class, commaned by captains who would attend to the moral and nautical education of the parties entrusted to their care, were in want of apprentices." The ;manner in which this system is worked, after the dupes have swallowed the bait, was thus explained to the Lord Mayor : " Mr. Pelham, who appeared gratuitously for the pro tection of the boys, stated, that for some time the news papers contained advertisements under the above heads, and that numerous impositions had been practised by persons who pretended to be authorised to engage ap prentices to be bound under the Merchant Seamen's Act. Inquiries were to be made of certain parties, who, it was found, employed a number of crimps to board vessels in the docks and river and ascertain whether any and what ships required apprentices, in accordance with the number required by the 37th clause of the 7th and Bth Victoria, chap. 112, which regulated the number according to the tonnage. The next thing to be ascer tained was the amount of premium. That appeared to be from 2/. to 201., and when the premium was obtained from the friends of the poor lads who applied the outfit was demanded, and, :after that demand was answered, the business was so manoeuvred that the applicants were left without ship and without redress of any kind." The present appeared to he an ordinary instance of the manner in which this system is carried out. The two boys had been abandoned on the town to rob or to starve after having satisfied the requisitions of the advertiser. They were the sons of a poor widow at Leeds, who had seen the advertisement in the Leeds paper, in which great inducements were held out to apprentices, and reference was given to Flynn. The sum of six guineas was paid to this person to procure the proposed situations, necessaries were supplied to the boys, and they were sent up to London. Here they remained a length of time. Nothing was done for them, and finally they were thrown upon the town in a state of extreme destitution, as we have just mentioned. Flynn, when called upon for his defence, stated that he had obtained situations for the lads, but they were unable to profit by them on account of the want of outfits. He hoped the Lord Mayor would take his ignorance of the law into consideration, and not proceed to extremities with him. The Lord Mayor commented in terms of deserved severity upon Flynn's conduct, but, with the consent of Mr. Pelham, an offer from him of complete restitution was accepted, and he was dismissed the Court, with an in timation that for the future he would remain under the surveillance of the police. So much for " The Sea, the Sea!" The next case is, if possible still worse. On Tuesday Lieutenant Lean, R.N., the London agent of Government emigration, appeared at the justice-room at the Mansion-house, on the part of the authorities of the Colonial Land and Emigration office, to represent the following facts :—A person, whose name was not mentioned, had attempted to entrap three poor men who wished to emigrate to Australia, into the payment of a sum of money, on the pretence that the company he represented—but which, it is believed, has no existence —were Go vernment emigration agents. The points to which we chiefly wish to draw the attention of the public, and more especially of the poorer emigrating public, will best appear from the following short statement of Lieutenant Lean, and from the order made by the Commissioners when the subject was brought under their notice. Lieutenant Lean stated : " The pretence that the self-constituted emigration agent set up was the more mischievous, as he required payment cinder the plea of procuring for his victims that which, if applied for at the Government Colonial and Emigration office in Park-street, Westminster, would have been given without any charge at all. 'The three poor men who accompanied him to the Mansion-house, had, upon the representations of the persons complained of, sold off all their goods and prepared themselves to emigrate to Australia. They had, however. fortunately called upon him and mentioned the extent of the trans action which had taken place, and he could arrive at no other conclusion than that a most nefarious fraud was meditated against them." These poor men had sold off their furniture and what little property they possessed in order to carry out their laudable scheme of emigration. One of them was to have paid the sum of 51. • another the sum of 81. 10i.; and the third th e sum Of ill., and he was placed under a strict injunction of secrecy to the self-constituted agent, in order that he might not be charged 1/. more. When the matter was brought under the notice of the Emigration Commissioners they made the following order, to which we hope to give additional publicity by our present notice : " As it is stated that no money has yet been received by —, the Commissioners are of opinion that it would not be possible to take any legal proceedings against them. Nevertheless, as the practice which they have adopted might lead to fraud, and might expose poor igCommissioners should be mwoulderabnetsadtvoisaimbipeotsbitaiotn utmost thethe publicity e m n a t tr in y, L a o r nd ac on t ia g nu i v ta e bn n e; to ies et hd t e h rt e bw f a a y ct o itih distributeb a e t h t aihelefr.rmeo forms or a i t s rh e no receive c ma g nissioners, but that be a m nd aY e i a n e a c t e stshai7 office, and in any other way, nothing will be gained by proceeding th forwardedat al l inf or gratism a ti o b n n , a a p n p d b th e necessary forms, may be forwarded gratis on applicat been taken by the We know not what steps have e o i r th o e t r he i r n w i increasing the emigrant's chance o f acceptance Commissioners to give publicity to the fact that is their arrangement. Nothing could be more mane in intention, or beneficial in pract ice, but some suhcuh . whose advantage this arrangement is intende s thing more is necessary in order that the parties u fo ld r have knowledge of the plan pursued at the offic e in Park-street, Westminster. We have often been startled at the degree of ignorance prevailing amongst the humbler classes of the community upon points which are so familiar to men of business that anything like imposition with regard to them seems almost un• intelligible. Hence it is they become such fine raw material for the operations of impostors of all kinds and denominations. The attempt to stem the current at all points is, we know, sufficiently hopeless. We cannot all at once enlighten the gullibility of a nation, or put sense and circumspection into the heads of those who, from want of opportunity or of business knowledge, are more especially prone to fall victims to their own credulity. These two cases, however, of the sailor boys and the emigrants, are of so serious a kind, that we would willingly make exertion to give them all publicity, in order to put future victims on their guard, especially as the Lord Mayor on Tues day invoked the aid of' the press in their behalf. CHRONICLE—The intelligence received from Vienna, down to the hour at which we write, is scanty, and not very intelligiblo. The attack which, at the date of our last advises; was deemed to be impending, has been forborne, and Jellachich re mains motionless, though occupying a position from whence his artillery could, in a short apace of time , lay a gre a t p ar t o f t h e c i ty i n ashes. The Emperor 's military advisers are, it is said, straining every nerve to concentrate upon the metropolis all the forces at their disposal; and it is probable that the Ban has refrained from inflicting on the town the horrors of a bombardment, in the hope of eventually reducing it to submission by a display of strength imposing enough to render resistance desperate. The Hun garian army is said to be still hovering on the fron tier. No very satisfactory explanation is given for its keeping at a distance from the scene of action ; but, unless the disorganization of their forces be much more complete than we have reason to believe, it can hardly be supposed that the Magyar leaders will throw up the game without striking at least one vigorous blow for the relief of the be leaguered city. Should it, however, be forced to submit (as submit it must in default of assistance from without), there is still much reason to fear that its surrender will prove no more than an episode in a contest, the duration of which may be long, as its issue is unquestionably doubtful. In truth the civil warfare, of which the neighbour hood of Vienna has now become the theatre, is fomented by causes the nature of which we but half understand, and of the extent and operation of which .we can form only a vague and inadequate idea. Elements of combustion many and diverse, and hitherto latent under a surface apparently solid, of g bi e r n th er t a o l p th reosflatne peritywahh hasndiocontenbtrmokeennt, outcom toabtinmedoreh than one point within the dominions of the empire, and sshich now blazes and roars around the metropolis itself. Jealousies and mutual antipathies of blood and race, which have, in bygone times, imparted a deeper shade of ferocity to many an encounter on many a battle field in Europe and Asia, are here the first agents and promoting causes of the strife. Whilst the war was still waged on the banks of the Thesis, y and over th e illi m i ta b le steppes of Hungary, it was but a stru gg l e f or ascendant between Magyar and Slav e . Y e t even then it thr ea t e ned to prove both long a n d bl oo d y. Within the dominions of the Hungarian C rown, t h e Slave population is to the Magyar as t wo to one; and the spirit and in telligence by which the former is animated, not less than its numerical importance, render it highly improbable that it will ever acquiesce in the humble condition of a subject race. In no part, indeed, of the vast tract (constituting no inconsiderable pros portion of th e E uropean Continent), throughout which the feat ures an d l anguage of the Slave family predominate, and which has been mapped out by ardent Panslavists as the right "territory of their meditated Slavonian Empire, the love of inde pendence or the ambitious longin for national great ness burn more strongly than tall` the Slovacks on the north, and their Illyrian b; ien on the south of Hungary. Both parties hat ...ge military re sources. Though not born i ;Wier, like the Magyar. wh o drinks, in with his )ther's milk the spirit of a f eroc i ous and half-s. rivalry, the Croat is bred an d tra i ned in the stitotest ha bi ts o f ' military discipli ne . A easant by day and a sentinel by night, h e handles alternately the musket and spade th e fi rst, perhaps; more deftly than the last— an d b reathes, from his cradle to his grave, the a t mosp h ere of a, camp. We might p therefore sa f e l y con j ecture, that had Jellachich been beaten at Stuhlweissenburg, his defeat would have been very far from putting an. end te ; the war. Now that the scene of action has been removed from Perth to Vienna, the struggle, without losing the character we have assigned to it, has acquired another colour, or rather a thousand colours, numerous as the i passions and i n t erests w hi ch are alive and n dis cordant action at this, the heart of *0 empire... There is the dislike which the German *entertains towards the Magyar, and the deeper jealousy which he nou rishes towards the aspiring Slave—the sympathy of the Viennese democrat with the Hungarian champion of independence, and his fear and hatred of the able and determined chieftain who has marched, as the soldier of the Emperor, to strengthen the throne of Ferdinand, and to crush the riotous anarchy and mad license which has just dyed the cause of revolution with its deepest stain by the murder of Latour. All these stimulating causes are now, it is needless to say, exasperated to the ut mos t by the burning fever-glow of excitement which the violent overthrow of the old Government left behind it, and which the long agony of lawlessness and disorder that has fol lowed has not suffered to subside. The troops themselves, as events have shown, have not escaped the contagion. It was, in fact, hardly possible that the subtle poison should fail to corrode the springs of the great military machine when once brought within the reach of its influence ; and there is but too much reason to apprehend that when the regiments are brought into action the men will take one side or another, acc or di ng as th e bl oo d w hich fl ows i n t h e i r veins is C zec h or A ustr i an, M ag y ar , Polish, S axon , or Cro a ti on . Hi t h erto, i ndee d, t h e military discipline for which the Austrian army is honourably distin guished, aided perhaps by the counter-irritation produced in the minds of the soldiery by the brutal murder of the Minister at-War, may have prevented the demoralizing influence from operating to a fatal extent ; but with every day that passes, until the struggle shall have terminated, or shall have assumed the aspect of regular warfare, the spirit of disaffection will certainly work its way more and more widely. At such a crisis it is, perhaps, satisfactory that the majority of the mem composing the regiments likely to be brought into action, are disposed, by the circumstances of their birth, to side with that party whose war- cry ix the unity of the Empire and the majesty of the Imperial Throne. Gallicia, and the chain of provinces forming the military frontier, are the nur series of the Austrian army. Though the flower of the cavalry is Hungarian, the bulk of the infantry regiments is of Slave extraction. Our correspondent, M. P. G., whose first letter we yesterday communi cated to our readers, has sketched, with a rapid and masterly pencil, the characteristic features of the various races which have hitherto lived side by side under the shadow of the Imperial sceptre. The picture is not calculated, perhaps, to encourage a very sanguine hope of the reconstruction of the stately edifice which seems at this moment to be crumbling to the ground. We, for our part, do not despair of seeing that reconstruction happily effected, though, peradventure, on a basis somewhat different from that which formed the foundation of the ancient Empire. But, now that every savage passion has been un chained, and that the rival races have seen each other's blood and their own flowing on a field of battle, we fear that it may be long before the con flagration dies out, and longer still ere the fair and spacious provinces of the Empire enjoy again that , a elo n p d tn god en o tof or t d h e e r w ira h r i l c lp h le ar c e ap i a n b d i i l s i psa ti e e n sa b n l d e to t the development inexhaustible resources.

Nothing has yet been done towards the removal of the convicts front the Justitia.

COUNT LATOUR. --- The following biographical sketch of the late un fortunate Count Latour, appears in a Berlin paper : " Lieutenant-General Count Theodore Latour, who has been recently murdered at Vienna, in a manner so barbarous, so inhuman, so contrary to all the feel ings of human nature, has been distinguished through a long series of years as one of the most eminent officers in the Austrian service. He was born on the 15th June, 1780, at Vienna, and was only son to the Imperial Master-General of the Ordnance and Presi dent of the Council of War, Count Maximilian Baillet de Latour, who died in 1806, who was owner of the property called the County of Latour, situated in the province of Luxembourg. This property was erected into a fief or entail in 1719, but the family mansion was destroyed during the French revolution, and the property itself has passed into other hands. Edu cated at the Imperial Engineers' School, Theodore de Latour there received all that instruction and acquired that solid knowledge which was matured in after years, and which, at his first commencing his military career, caused him to be appointed on the Quartermaster General's staff, in which duties he was enabled to render valuable service. During the period that the Austrian army was engaged in a constant succession of campaigns Latour remained constantly on active service, and by his zeal, merit,, and courage obtained rapid promotion, se that, at the commencement of the war of liberation, he had already obtained the rank of colonel. In the month of January, 1814, he was appointed chief of the staff to the Bth army corps of the Confederation, then under the command of the Crown Prince, now King of W ur t em b urg. The able dispositions adopted by Colonel Latour at the honour able and sanguinary affairs of Epinay, Brienne, Sens, Montereau, and La Ferro, were publicly acknow ledged at the time, and obtained for him the repeated thanks of the Prince commanding and the Allied Sovereigns. The rank of general and many orders of knighthood were amongst his recompences and honourable testimonies. During the long peace that . succeeded the campaigns of 1813, 1814, and 1815, Count Latour was continually called upon to take part in most important deliberations, wherein he showed his aptitude for administra tion, and by bis cool and clear judgment was en abled to render great services to the Austrian Govern ment. During many years he filled the office of Commissioner and President of the Military Board of the Germanic Confederation with great credit to him self and advantage to that body. At a later period he was appointed substitute for the General Director of the Engineer Department (the Archduke John, at present Administrator General at Frankfort), or, in other Words, Chief of the Engineer Corps and Juspector-General of Fortifications. The plans for the fortification of Rastadt, &c., were matured and principally carried into effect under his superintend ence. Upon the abolition of the Aulic Council of War at Vienna, Latour, who had long attained the rank of Lieutenant -Gener a l was appointed Minister of War and Chief of the 'War Department by 'the present Emperor. In this most difficult and perilous position he was enabled, by patience, firmness, and long experience, to temper the storm by which he was surrounded, and to accomplish what many considered to be impracticable. His combi nations with Radetzky led to the fortunate issue of the late campaigns in Lombardy, for he united to the talent of conception that of carrying into effect, and with this a wonderful faculty of economising and producing resources. A man less gifted with courage, indefatigable zeal, constancy under difficulties, and readiness for extracting great results from small means, would have yielded to the pressure of events and the embarrassments by which he was surrounded. Upright, unflinching, and de voted, he stood up to encounter, and for a long time, mastered, the tempest. He could have retired a hundred times from an office which he never coveted, but was withheld from so doing by his devotion to the Emperor, by his disinterestedness, and by that generous, rational patriotism which caused him to stand to his post until death —a horrible, most foul, and bloody death—terminated his generous services, his long and most honourable career. A nobler head never fell beneath murderers'!hands—a more accursed crime never sullied the name of a civilized people, or drew forth the tears and execrations of all generous minds. To Latour's friends it is some consolation to feel that death, when encountered as he encountered his terrible fate, is no less honourable than when met in the hot excitement of the battle field. A short time before the abominable catastrophe which took place on the bridge of Pesth, Count Lem berg, the miserable victim of Hungarian atrocity, waited on his friend and subsequent fellow martyr. Then it was that Latour gave Lemberg his last in structions, with these prophetic words :—` Go and prosper, with the aid of Divine Providence, for the welfare and the peace of Austria and Hungary. We may not meet again. We stand both upon the same perilous eminence. Both are moved by the same sentiments of attachment to our fatherland. Both have only at heart the :general good. But we will meet the combat with courage, and accomplish the duties confided to us with honour, and without flinching, albeit death be our reward.' Count Theo dore Latour has left a widow, daughter of Count Borcier, and a daughter, a lady of great beauty and accomplishments, married to General Count Drasko wich, and a son, an officer of promise, and captain in a regiment of infantry, and who served as aide-de camp to Radetzky during the recent campaigns." Fian.—Yesterday, shortly after one o'clock, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Waterman, builder, in Winsley-street, Oxford'-street. The premises are ex ceedingly spacious, being occupied by five parties, chiefly as workshops. Adjoining one side is the Prin cess's Theatre, on the other the large range of manufac tories belonging to Messrs. Cottim and Hallen, engineers and machinists.' At the period of the outbreak the workmen were at dinner; but the alarm having been given, some of them proceeded to the burning building, into which they rushed for the purpose of saving their tools, or any portion of the stock they could seize. At this time an unfortunate occurrence took place in conse quence of other men going into the yard, and as those above hurled the articles out of the windows, three of those below were struck, and one so much hurt that he was conveyed to the Middlesex Hospital. The assistance of the engines and firemen being obtained, large bodies of water were brought to bear, and the Princess's Theatre and the premises of Messrs. Cottarn and Hallen were saved. The cause of the fire is unknown. Aa EDITOR PUZZLED.—The Liverpool newspapers have bestowed the title of " The Liverpool Lind" upon Miss Matilda Foote Hay, daughter of Mr. Hay, a pro fessional of some celebrity in the West of England. The Liverpool Times thus expresses its admiration;—" The exquisite expression and precision of this truly elegant child produced at once astonishment and delight, the beauty of her voice, the pathos and thrilling melody, told with electrical effect upon the audience. B ut t h e editor of the Liverpool Mercury is completely enchanted and bewildered, and thus his " trembling accents run :" .The general feeling of the audience was one of evident gratification and surprise. For ourselves, all we can say (albeit no way musical) is, that we went home and dreamed we were on the banks of Allan Water, and have tried, four or five times, to write a particular article,-and cannot succeed, from certain buzzing sounds still ringing in our ears ; and, in addition to that, there is the remembrance of the sweet, pensive expression of a face so beautiful that we would give the world to trace its future-wager."

DUBLIN*, WEDNESDAY MORNING. -It has been arranged that the Tipperary Commission is to con tinue until all the cases for trial shall be disposed of, and that the Dublin Commission is to proceed at the same time. It is now arranged that the commission will not ct.nclude - untill next:week, the Judges having resolved to dispose of all the cases for trial before they rise. The Solicitor-General remains in Clonmel to bring the business of the commission to a close. The Attorney• General proceeds to Dublin to conduct the trials there. The Clonmel correspondent of the Freeman's Journal says— " The 3d Buffs and a park of artillery arrived here this evening from Pil!town. This addition makes the garrison here one of considerable strength. The streets in the neighbourhood of the Court-house have been pa trolled during the last day or two by a party of mounted dragoons.. " In compliance with a requisition, numerously and respectably signed, by men of all sects and parties, the Mayor has called a meeting of the inhabitants of Clonmel for Thursday next, for the purpose of agreeing to a memorial to the Government in favour of Messrs. O'Brien, M'Manus, and the other state prisoners, in con formity with the metropolitan memorial." The following communication from Clonmel appears in Saunders' News Letter-.. "The Crown have still a large number of witnesses to be examined. Mr. Whiteside and Mr. Butt will speak for the prisoner, and witnesses will be examined for him. The Solicitor-General will then speak, and Chief Justice Blaokburne charge the jury. The trial of Mr. O'Brien lasted nine days, and that of Mr. Meagher will, I think, have concluded Wore the end of the week. Whether the sentences upon Mr. M'Manus and Mr. O'Donohue will then follow, or other persons be put upon their trials before this is done, is not known. It is rumoured here to-day that C. G. Duffy will be tried at this cum mission. One of the Judges has been heard to say that 'he thinks he will eat his Christmas dinner in Clonmel. The sittings here exceed anything known in Dublin. There the Judges at commission sit about eleven o'clock each morning and adjourn before six, but here they often sit at nine o'clock and do not adjourn till half-past seven. As the prisoners did not join in their chal lenges, they could not be tried together; the consequence has been that the Court is every day travelling over the same ground, witnesses are detailing the same facts, and with few exceptions, the evidence given is similar in all the cases. There is no public excitement. Much interest, indeed, is felt in the trials, and though there is great monotony and sameness in the details, the spectators, many of whom are ladies, are still numerous and unwearied in their attendance. This morning a sensation was created in the town by a de tachment of the 4th Light Dragoons drawing up with swords unsheathed, exactly opposite the house of a person named Smith, in which the Attorney-General lives. Some said that the first law officer of the Crown had been molested in the street ; others hinted that he had information which rendered such a military escort to court necessary ; but these suppositions were at once answered by the appearance of the Attorney-General outside the court-house at the time that the soldiers were opposite his residence. It is supposed that the dragoons were merely waiting for their captain or lieu tenant, who intended going with them to Dungarvan. Neither Judges nor Crown counsel fear insult or moles tation. They have been seen walking in secluded places, without arms or escort ; and a few days ago the Attorney-General was unbending his mind by con versing with a number of boys who were flying their kites by the side of the River Suir. These fucts, however trifling, clearly show that the town is quiet, and the proceedings are free from tumult or violence of any kind." The Clonmel Chronicle says— "On Thursday night last, Mr. Trouton, charged with high treason, on the evidence of Dobbin, as eli cited on Mr. O'Brien's trial, and Martin James Burke, also charged with treasonable practices, were brought from Dublin, and lodged in Cl onme l gao l, un d er war rants of his Excellency the Earl of Clarendon. Their removal to Clonmel is believed to have bean caused by their being required to give evidence for Mr. Thomas Francis Meagher, now upon his trial for high treason." DEPUTATION TO THE LORD LIEUTENANT. Yesterday adeputation, of which Mr. John O'Brien, M.P., Aldermen Watson, Geary, and M`Mahon, and Dr. Gore, were members, presented three memorials to his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, one from the corporation of the city of Limerick, a second from the inhabitants of Limerick and its vicinity, and a third from the Limerick Society, praying that his Excellency would he graciously pleased to commute the sentence of death passed on Mr. W. S. O'Brien, in compliance with the recommendation of mercy of the jury by whom he was convicted at the special commission now sitting at Clonmel. His Excellency t r i c; e cei received memorialsthe deputation withtio h n een his presented, u the sual Nob courtesy, l e Earland briefly returned a verbal reply, in substance the same as that which he gave the deputation from the city of Dublin on Monday, on the occasion of the presenta tion of a memorial of a similar effect, namely, that as the commission was sitting at Clonmel for the trial of persons charged with the same offence as that of which Mr. O'Brien was convicted, and as a notice of a writ of error had been served, he would refrain from saying anything on the subject beyond that of repeating the assurance that full weight would be given to the recommendation of the highly respect able jury who tried Mr. O'Brien. REPLY TO THE ORANGE ADDRESS. The following is the reply of his Excellency the Lord- Lieutenant to the memorial in favour of the exercise of clemency to Mr. W. S. O'Brien:— " Viceregal Lodge, Oct. 17th, 1848. " am directed by the Lord-Lieutenant to ac knowledge the receipt of your letter of the 16th instant, together with the accompanying memorial in behalf of Mr. W. Smith O'Brien. " In reply, I have to convey to you his Excellency's regret, that the persons who have affixed their signature to that document should have thought fit to introduce into a petition for the extension of mercy a groundless imputation upon the impartial administration of justice by the Executive Government. —I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, " S. CORRY CONNELLAN. " To the Rev. C. M. Fleury, 24, Up. Leeson -street." THE STATE PRISONERS IN NEWGATE. The Freeman's Journal contains the following : "In consequence of the suspicions excited by the alleged attempt of Charles G. Duffy to escape from Newgate, all access to him has been cut off. No person whatever is now allowed to see or communicate with him under any circumstance. He has been removed to an inner apartment of the prison, and double guards placed about his apartment. It is stated the prisoner's health appears to suffer much. Messrs. O'Doherty and Wil liams have been also removed from the rooms lately oc cupied by them. The prisoners are most rigorously watched." JENNY LlND. — Yesterday evening their Excellen cies the Lord-Lieutenant and the Countess of Claren don received a numerous party at dinner at the Vice- Regal Lodge. Md lle. Jenny Lind bad the honour of being of the party. ALLEGED ESCAPE OF O'MAHONY. The Cork Constitution has the following:— " O'Mahony, for whose arrest on a charge of high treason 'the Lord-Lieutenant has offered a reward of 1001., is supposed to- have escaped to a foreign shore. The story told is this, that he was s fugitive flying from place to place in the Curraghmore mountains, his where abouts being even unknown to his family until Tuesday night last, when, to their amazement, he knocked at the door of his house, and took a hurried farewell of his wife and children. From this he hastened across to the Wa terford mountains, and the next night arrived at Bon mahon, where he was to be met by a boat which was to convey him to a vessel lying off the land. While in the dark he was scrambling, unaccompanied, his way over the rocks •to the beach where the boat was to be in readi ness for him, his foot slipped and he fell down a preci pice, a height of some two hundred feet into the sea. His escape is said to have been miraculous and providential, not so much in reference to the fall as to the difficulties be had then to encounter. Ho swam along the base of the rock for some time, but could find no means by which he could regain a footin had to supp ort himself by h g , and eventuallye was s of stone wh anging from a pi e ich protruded from the ro c k, b ut which carcely distinct enough to enable him to rest half his fingers on. Here he remained for over six hours, until the fishermen who awaited his arrival at the ap pointed cove, supposing he had missed his way, rowed along the shore, in hopes of attracting his attention. It being then day-break, and he having perceived the boat, screamed for assistance, which was heard and afforded, and he was carried out to sea. Having got on board the friendly vessel, no more has been since heard of him, but it is expected he was transhipped, as was proposed, on board a French fishing smack, in search of which the vessel proceeded. " MORE TRooPB.—Orders have been forwarded to Clonmel to prepare quarters for four companies of the Rifle Brigade. It is not known whether their services are required for the Special Commission and the safety of the prisoners, or to aid the civic authorities in the levying of executions, and the collection of poor -Cates and county cess. " THE CONVICTED TRAlTORS.—lndirect intimation from the Government has been given to Mr. Smith O'Brienjand Mr. M‘Manusithat their lives willjbe spared. It is expected they will be removed from the gaol of the county to a prison in the north of Ireland. Their rela tives and friends are not prevented at present from visit ing them. "'THE CONVICT O'Dowonois.—lt was understood that O'Donohoe hadldetermined throughout the:trial he would twit and snub Mr. Attorney-General, with whom for many years he had been on terms of intimacy. He says, that in his position as scrivener to a solicitor in Dublin; ho Was the first person who handed a fee to the gentle- RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. BOULOGNE AND AssteNs.—Yesterday, a deputation of shareholders in this railway, representing 14,000 shares, waited by appointment on the English direc tors at the office of Messrs. Carden and Whitehead, Royal Exchange-buildings, in order to ascertain the present position and future prospects of the under taking. The directors stated that the weekly traffic, considering the present unsettled state of France, was highly satisfactory, that the company had no respon sibilities, that the line was worked in the most econo mical manner, and that when matters were tho roughly settled in France there was every reason to believe that the line would prove amply remunera tive to the shareholders. It would be proposed, at the meeting to be held on Saturday week at Paris, to pay the proprietors interest at the rate of four per cent. per annum on the half-year up till the opening of the line, and two per cent. per annum from the opening of the line until the end of the pre sent month, The payment to be made in dividend coupons, which shall be payable at a period to be fixed at the meeting. The importance of a cordial under taking between the Boulogne and Amiens and the London and South-Eastern was felt and expressed by all present; and with the view to bring about a closer connexion between the compauies, it was proposed anti agreed to, that one of the directors of the South- Eastern should join the direction of the Boulogne and Amiens, and that M. Adam, one of the French directors of the latter line, should be made a director on the South-Eastern. TouaNAr AND JURBISE.—The opening of this line, which was announced to take place on the 15th inst, has been postponed to the 2ith, when a fete will be held at Tourney. The Communal Council of that town, and some of the directors of the line, had an audience of the King of the Belgians at Brussels last week to solicit the honour of his presence at the inauguration ; but it is said he declined to give a decided reply. 01ILEAN'S AND BORDEAUX.—A. grand fete took place on the 4th inst. at the viaduct over the valley of the Indre, to celebrate the completion of that remarkable work of art on the Orleans and Bordeaux line. This viaduct, which crosses the valley of the Indre over a apace of 751 metres, has 59 arches of 9 metres 89 centimetres span each, and 21 metres in height. The preliminary operations commenced in January, 1846, and the masonry in April the following year. The line, when complete, will afford an uninterrupted railway communication between the French capital and Bordeaux. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, Ocr. 18.

EXPLOSION IN A COAL VESSEL.—One day last week, the brig Sceptre, laden with coals, was lying in Monk weartnouth Dock, with the hatches battened down and all ready for sea. One of the boys went on board at night, and lighted a lucifer match in the half deck, when a violent explosion was caused by the gas, which has es• taped from the coals. The deck was blown up on each side of the hatchway, and the long-boat was lifted from its seat, while the boy was much burnt on the head and hands„
