I picked two or three _,. _, .„ " But the political combinations of the North also ad mit of another arrangement for imparting additional strength to what may be not inaptly termed the barrier kingdome. These means exist in the invitation to Den mark to take ber place with Norway and Sweden in the Scandinavian Union. While this would add unques tionable strength to the alliance, it would be one of the heaviest blows that could be inflicted upon Russia, — greater, possibly, than the loss of Finland. It would ender one head three nations, whose historical traditions and internal constitutions sea rat—ste n equally proclaim resistance to the encroachments of Rus sia,—three nations, separately weak, but if united by their geographical position forming a natural cordon on the North that Russia would be unable to break through. This idea is by no means novel. For a considerable period it has been mooted by the politicians of the three king doms. It was first developed by the students of the Uni versities of Christiania, Upsala Lund, and Copenhagen, and early taken up and eagerly discussed by the profes sional politicians of the three countries, white many of their deepest thinkers have declared their opinion that in the realisation of this idea exists the only guarantee of the independence of the North, and its safeguard from dismemberment, already commenced by Russia on the side of Sweden, and attempted by Germany on that of Denmark. These arguments have continued to gain ground ; and, although they still have their oppo nents, no political idea is more popular in the three countries. But, however desirable the proposed con federation might be to the balance of power in Europe, it may be objected that it would be opposed by Den mark, from whom sacrifices inconsistent with the pre sent order of things would De required. This is, how ever, an erroneous conclusion. It is in Denmark that the union was first suggested ; there it has found its warmest supporters, and obtained popularity greater even thin in either Norway and Sweden. The most distin guished politicians of Denmark have belonged to the party, which consider " Scandinaviasm" a part of their political creed, and there are at present in the Danish Ministry men who cherish the same faith. In such an union it must always be borne in mind that it is not in tended that any of these nations should lose its politi cal independence, but that their mutual relations should be based on the same freedom as that of Norway and Sweden at the present time. It is precisely one of the advantages of such an union that the admission of Den mark can now become a practical idea. The theory of "Scandinavianism" is an alliance offensive and defensive against all outward foes, or, as it has been felicitously expressed, "three people in peace but one in war." " I have hitherto considered only the increase of power of these kingdoms, and through it the security given to the maintenanca of the European system. But there is another circumstance that it behoves European states men to take into their most earnest consideration. In the treaty that was concluded in 1852, under the aus pices of England, France, and Russia, a relation of the Czar was made successor to the throne of Denmark, and thus the Russian Emperor has not only paved the way for exercising a powerful influence in the Government of Denmark, but may, by no impossible coacurrence of events, become himself the heir to a portion of its terri tory. This treaty, which was the last but the most dangerous in which the Western statesmen allowed themselves to be circumvented by Russian diplomacy, has already been deeply deplored, and not least by its originators. The Danish people received it with dis gust, and it was only acknowledged by the Diet because they did not feel themselves strong enough to oppose the determination of Europe. Let Europe now avail herself of the opportunity that offers of col secting an error into which it was led by Russian cunning, by a free union of the three kingdoms of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark under the flourishing •dynasty of Bernadotte. With the possession of the Sound and the Belts thus secured the work will be coin plete. On the decease of King Frederick VII. and his aged uncle Prince Ferdinand the male line of the Royal House of Denmark will be extinct. It has been rumoured that the King once offered his crown for the welfare of his people, and it is not impossible or inconsistent with tho character of this noble and patriotic Prince to anti cipate that if he believed that the fitting time had ar rived he would now carry his resolution into effect. Such a step is, however, by no means necessary to the object proposed. "The advantages of the proposed junction of Denmark in the Scandinavian union for limiting the ambition of Russia are, indeed, so great that the plan would almost seem to take precedence of every other ; first, because this union would at once give the Northern States the strength they need, and do away with the pretence for future Russian interference in their affairs ; secondly, the scheme is the easier to realise as it suggests terri torial alterations that would not require the deadly struggle that must precede the erection of such a bar rier State by conquests made from Ru ss i a ; an d, thi r dly, its adoption emanating from no Cabinet intrigues, but from the people themselves, well weighed by them, and according with their own feelings and associations, it, would be held with a stronger faith and sincerity than any union established by the sword." The learned Recorder (W. H. Bodkin, Esq.), in his charge to the grand jury, had alluded to the case as follows :—He perceived by the depositions that a charge was likely to be brought before them of an unusual and extraordinary character, and one which must be confessed on all hands to embrace a very painfnl sub ject. It appeared that an accusation had been made before the magistrates there against an individual for disturbing persons assembled for the purpose of reli gious worship in that town, and that the party accused did go to a place of worship there, and did, if the statements in the depositions were true, disturb and interrupt the proceedings, there was hardly any question or denial. On this subject, he (the Recorder) would observe that men's feelings and opinions were likely to be very strong ; but he begged the gentlemen of the jury to lay these aside, whatever they might be. All might, as individuals, entertain feelings approaching to detestation of particular doctrines which prevailed in the world, and extreme pity for the credulity of those actuated by them ; but, sitting in a court of law, they must 'not be led by feelings of that sort, and if the jury saw there had been in that case a meeting such as the Act of Parliament under which the charge was brought was intended to protect, they would do well, inde pendently of all private feeling, to put the matter in train for further investigation. Very strong opinions were entertained upon those matters, but it could not be permitted for any individual to set up his opinion on religious subjects in opposition to other opinions upon the same subjects held by different individuals, and carry out his views by interrupting the proceedings of others, so long as those proceedings were peaceably conducted, and not in contravention of the law of the land. It was necessary, however, for per sons, in order to claim the benefit of the Act of Parlia ment, to go through a certain form in certifying at Quar ter Sessions, with a view to the registration of the place of worship on the part of the archbishop of the diocese. Evidence of this having been done would perhaps be brought before the jury by the persons making the corn plaints in this instance. There were also other restric tions, among which was that a body so registering them selves should never meet with closed doors, but that their proceedings should always be open to inspection, so that if ever the character of the meetings were blas phemous and of an improper kind, the police autho rities might- have an opportunity of hearing what was going on, and bringing those engaged in the proceed ings to an account, if they were found acting contrary to law. On the other hand, there was a clause for preventing the interruption of such proceedings ; and the act was undoubtedly applicable to all persons who might be designated Protestant Dissenters. He could give them no other definition of Protestant Dissenters than this—that Protestants were persons who protested against the errors, as they were considered, of the Church of Rome, and that Dissenters were those disagreeing in the doctrines of the Church of England. He should strongly recommend that a court of law should not be made an arena for entering into theological questions ; and if the parties themselves professed to be what they had in the depositions already stated themselves- Pro testant Dissenters—and provided they themselves had complied with the clause of the act as to the registration of their place of worship, and conducted their services with open doors, the case would be made out to such an extent that they would probably find it right to return a true bill. There was another point, however, which should not escape their attention—viz , that it was necessary the parties making the complaint should be engaged in the act of religious worship at the tittle of disturbance; and it was suggested by the defendant, as he observed by the depositions, that this was not the fact. It appeared that some religious controver s i es h a d been going on in this.town, and that observations had been addressed to the piiblic by those differing in opinion with the persons assembling in the place of meeting in question, and in which their doctrine and proceedings were placed iadispute. This led to a cballenge for public discussion being thrown out by the prosecuting parties ; and the defendant, it appeared, by his own account, was one of these who accepted the challenge to attend the place of meeting for the purpose of discussing the ques tions raised by the opposition referred to. If this were Ho, and the persons had met on thin occasion for the purpose of disputation upon their peculiar tenets, they could not, in compliance with the terms of this act, be considered as engaged in religious worship at the time. On the defendant presenting himself, and the learned Recorder expressing the readiness of the court to proceed with the case, it appeared that no barrister had been in structed to conduct the case on behalf of the prosecuting parties. MILITIA. The Dublin Mail gives the following statement, by way of explaining the causes of official mismanagement no ticed i❑ that journal a few days since :—" With refer ence to a statement which has appeared in this journal, referring to alleged neglect en the part of the authori ties in not providing bedding, &c., for the Clare Militia during their stay at Beggar's-bush barrack, we deem it but justice to state that we have perused a correspon dence, in which it appears that straw was offered to the commanding officer of the Clare Militia for the bedding of the men, bnt the offer was declined, the soldiers pre ferring to sleep in their great coats to paying for the straw, which they could only use for one night. The detention of the Clare Militia in Dublin on Saturday and Sunday was entirely owing to the non-arrival of the Nia gara, which was expected to reach Dublin on Saturday morning at daylight, but, owing to the stress of wea ther, did not arrive until after nightfall." Friday was a busy day with the military authorities in Dublin, the Niagara steam-transport having come in with one regiment of militia that morning, and sailed with another before night. The first regiment was the 69th Royal Sherwood Foresters, or Nottingham Militia, numbering nearly 800 men, with the following officers : —Lieut.-Col. W. L. Mellish ; Captains Lowe, Gordon, Davis, Miller, Fowkes, Coope, and Hensley; Lieutenants O'Loghlin, Davieg, Durant, Hannon, Walsh, arid Sur plice ; Ensigns Miller and Taylor ; Captain and Adjutant Holden ; Paymaster Wrixon ; and Assistant-Surgeon Nettlefold. Almost immediately upon its arrival this regiment proceeded to Galway, where it is to be quar tered for the present. The Irish regiment taken away hy the Niagara on her return trip was the 107th, Kerry Militia, which arrived at an early hour the same morn ing from Naas, under the command of the Hon. D. B. De Moleyns, Lieutenant Colonel. The wives and fa milies of three officers took passage in the Niagara. The officers complained greatly of having to bring over their full quantity of luggage, for which they feared there would not be room in the huts at A ldershott. The 59th Nottingham Regiment of Militia, after their arrival, marched, headed by their band, to the Midland Great Western Railway, Broadstone, previous to their depar ture for Athlone. By a juror —There was a stick lying near the deceased, but it appeared to belong to the roof of the arcade. She was too weak to walk. The niece said she saw Beards more strike her, but not throw her out of the window. The niece did not say how the affair happened. From what I saw of the arcade it would not bear the weight of a person like the deceased. Mr. George Noble Clark, surgeon, said—l was sent for between 4 and 5 o'clock last Saturday morning to attend Mrs. Beardsmore. Mr. Beardsmore came for me him self, and requested me to go to his house to see Mrs. Beardsmore, who he said had fallen out of the window. I went immediately, and on arriving I found the deceased on a bed in her usual bedroom upstairs. She had all her clothes on. There were two or more policemen in the room, and Parker came in afterwards. She com plained of pain in her leg and shoulder, and as it was necessary to strip her I desired them all to leave the room. I examined her. I saw there was an injury on her head, but as she complained of her arm and leg I exa mined them first, and found no wound of consequence. I found several scalp wounds on the top of the head. These wore jagged bruised wounds, but were not cut across. There were a great many of them. I also noticed a large contusion above the right eye. I picked two or three pieces of glass out of the scalp. She was in a very ex cited state. I should think the excitement was both from drink and passion. There was no other external in jury. I did not consider her i❑ danger. While removing the hair I desired Parker to go up to Mr. Annandale's. She complained of her leg and arm, but I could disco ver no injuries but slight abrasureff. She then said she had been thrown out of the window. I can't say she said who did it, but Beardsmore came to the door at the time, and she shouted to have that villain taken away, as she had him now. Mr. Annandale then came, and I was then probing the wounds, and found the skull bare to a small extent. I remained about an hour. I desired her to be quiet and composed, and, in the course of some remarks, she said she had held on as long as she could, and then fell. I cannot say wbat brought that conversa tion on. I saw her again at 9 o'clock, and at 12, and ap prehended no danger except from her breathing and cough. Her breathing was very oppressed at that time, but I apprehended danger, as she bad bad frequent attacks of bronchitis. I saw her frequently, together with Mr. An nandale, before her death. She died on Sunday evening about 2 o'clock. I did not apprehend danger at 7 o'clock —two hours before her death— that is, immediate danger, but I knew she was in danger from bronchitis, and from the additional cold. I afterwards, in company with Mr. Annandale and Mr. Rayne, made a post mortem, exami nation. We began at half-past seven o'clock on Tues day morning. From my exarninaton of the body I should say acute bronchitis and congestion of the lungs were the immediate cause of death. I examined the body externally, and found several scalp wounds on the head, contusion above the eye, as if from a blow, and the skin slightly abraded above the wrist. On opening the chest, on the right side there was strong adhesion between the lungs and the walls of the chest, the result of previous disease. There was no &Tilden in either cavity of the chest. The liver, bowels, and kidney were healthy. There was no indication of disease in the chest. We then opened the head, and there was no appearance of disease sufficient to cause death, except congestion of the vessels. We examined the skull, and there was no fracture. We found the lungs congested. In opening the chest we discovered a fracture of the first rib on the left side. It was scarcely possible to discover it during life. There was no corresponding mark outside, and it had produced no internal injury whatever. There is very little movement of the first rib. The lungs were very much congested, which, with inflammation of the mu cous membrane of the bronchial tubes, caused death. Death was caused by these appearances, and was accele rated by the cold, stimulation, and the fail. The fall would not produce the symptoms I saw in the lungs and tubes. I had attended her eight years for bronchitis. The death of a person labouring under bronchitis would be accelerated by such a fall as that which the deceased had received. lam decidedly of opinion that the shock which deceased received in falling out of the window accelerated her death. I understand she lay some time in the yard, and the cold would hasten her death. 11 IR mo When any of these dates fall on a Sunday, the malls will be dc. spatched on the following day. with the exception of the hills (1 10 Southampton), and the Malta. both of which will be despatched tt preceding day. The prospects of the British army are now bright and hopeful. Although undoubtedly composed of younger soldiers than those who fought the first battles of the war, yet the gain in improved orga nisation, in younger, more skilful, and, above all, more earnest commanders, will counterbalance any physical defects. The men now encamped along the coasts, from Sebastopol to Smyrna, are well supplied, well tended, and, it is to be hoped, well employed and disciplined. Even raw lads of 18 who could not fire a rifle in September may be fair soldiers when they march in the spring. Yet it must be remembered at what cost of time, labour, and money the present efficiency has been bought. It is only by chance that a season of rest enables the recruits to be instructed at the seat of war in elementary duties. As a general rule, the man must be made into a soldier before he leaves these shores, or he is not only himself inefficient in the hour of danger, but confuses and hinders others. The Government must not calculate on always hav ing a quiet camp abroad, and six months to drill its men. As far as possible they should be fit to light on the day they land. In the absence of a conscription the Militia is the best reserve for the regular army. For the present, at least, its main duty of guarding our coasts is happily not press ing, and if it b e well used it may be made the chief means of concluding gloriously a difficult war.

TRIAL OF THE SCREW STEAM-SHIP PERA. SOUTHAMPTON, Dec. 29.—This fine screw steam-ship, which was built for the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany by Messrs. Mare, of Blackwall, made an official trial of her speed over the measured mile in Stokes Bay this morning. The Pera is now the largest vessel be longing to the Peninsular and Oriental Company, their leviathan steamer Himalaya having been purchased by Government for the transport service. Although of con siderably less tonnage, the Pera, for accommodation and space, is almost in every respect equal to the Himalaya, and her fine lines, when compared with her breadth of beam, have caused her, for power in comparison with tonnage, to be under steam one of the fastest screw ves sels afloat. The dimensions are—length for tonnage, 3031 t. 7in. ; ditto over all, 334 ft. ; breadth, 42ft. Sin. ; depth of hold, 27ft. 2w. ; height between decks in the clear, 7ft. ; full tonnage, 2,630. The engines, by Rennie and Co., are of 450-horse power, and are con structed upon the vertical trunk principle, with Lamb and Summers' patent flue boilers. The shaft has a mul tiplying wheel of two to one. The engines during the trial averaged 33 revolutions, or 66 entire turns of the screw per minute. The wind was blowing strong from S.S. W, and after the topgallant yards had been lowered the following runs were made : First run ...4 minutes 32 seconds, equal to 13'235 knots. Second run... 5 „ 6 „ „ 11165 „ Third run ...4 „ 41 „ If 12 . 811 „ Fourthrun...4 „ 50 ~ fl 12'414 „ Showing the mean speed of the trial to be 121 knots, or equal to 141 geographical miles per hour. The result proved highly satisfactory to every one present, the impression being that an average of not more than 12 knots would be obtained. There were on board Messrs. Anderson and Allen, managing directors ; Admiral Thornton ; Messrs. De Salis and Hadow, directors ; Captain Engledue, superintendent of the company at Southampton ; Mr. Lamb, superintendent engineers ; Messrs. Hughes and Luke,Governreentstirveyors; Messrs. Rennie, Summers, &c. In consequence of a domestic calamity in the family of Capt. Soy, the appointed com mander, the charge of the vessel was intrusted to Capt. Weeks, of the steam-ship Tagus. The internal fittings of the Pera combine every improvement which modern science has produced. Among the most recent may be mentioned the saloon dining tables, which, although ap parently solid single tables, may by an ingenious con trivance be divided, so that a double row may be momen tarily provided, thereby giving accommodation for a double number of persons. By this means an invention of Mr. Taylor, of the Borough, 140 can comfortably dine. Upon deck are two powerful steam winches, which are used in the shipment and discharge of cargo, &c., and by which an immense amount of manual labour is saved. Upon the captain's bridge is placed a " helms man's telegraph," entirely obviating the necessity of communicating viva voce, and which in working ships of great length is found to be an invaluable facility. reeling topsails. Previously to her leaving London this vessel was pr onounce d to b e the most perfect e mp which had ever left the Thames, and con fers great credit upon Mr. Robinson, under ?those super intendence she has been fitted, and to whom has been intrusted the fittin g of all recent vessels belonging to the company. As the power of the Pera is small when com pared with the tonnage, the result of the first voyage is looked forward to with interest, and should it prove favourable, of which most sanguine hopes are entertained the new principle of less power and fine lines will be satis factorily elucidated. It is the intention of the company to despatch this vessel with the heavy portion of the In dia, China, and Mediterranean !nails on the 4th proximo. AYNUAL REPORT OF THE SCOTCH IRON TRADE.

VINCENT STREET, GLASGOW, 31st December, 1855.—The year about to close, thpugh a year of oscil lations, adds another epoch of prosperity to the iron trade. Under the agency and stimulus of war, com bined with the extension of railways, gas, and water works abroad, the exports and home consumption of pig iron amount to the large quantity of 847,000 tons— exceeding the production by fully 20,000 tons—and are almost equal to the highest of any preceding year. The stocks have consequently undergone a further reduction, and are only 98,080 tons against 450,000 tons three years ago. Extensive transactions were made during the year in Pig Iron, at from 558. to 82s. ;in rails, 71. 10e. to Si. 15s. ; in bars, 71. 15s. to 91. 108. ; in cast iron pipes, 51. to 61. 15s ; railway chairs, 41. 15s. to 51. 7e. 6d. per ton. And the foundries and malleable iron works con• tinue still generally active and well employed. Although the prices and requirements have been such as to stimulate the production, it is only 55,000 tons greater than in 1854, and the scarcity of the raw mate rial will prevent many of the 34 furnaces at present out of blast from being put in operation in 1856. Eder J. M. Browne appeared as the prosecutor, but he seemed to be totally unprovided with legal assistance. In answer to the Recorder he said he had no idea that he should have found legal assistance requisite, or he would have provided it. He expressed his willingness, however, to employ any of the gentlemen of the bar pre- sent who would undertake the case. The Recorder—lt is too late now. You must endea vour to prove the charge as well as you can ; and, in order to do so, you had better begin by showing that your place of meeting is properly registered. Elder Browne—A. certificate has been put in at the Magistrates' Court, where it has been detained. The paper now produced is the same. The Recorder intimated that it would be necessary to prove the handwriting of the person who had signed it. Elder Browne replied that he was unable to prove it ; nor was there any one in attendance, so far as he Ras aware, who could do so. The Recorder—We are stopped at the first stage of the inquiry —(a laugh)—therefore, gentlemen of the jury, there is an end of the case. (Loud laughter.) The learned Recorder having rebuked the merriment evinced in the court, continued—lt is very much to be regretted that a case requiring the attention of a court of justice should, at the first step, fail on a point of law. However, the prosecutor does not prove that the place in which the assembly in question took place is regis. tered, and without it the case could not be proceeded with. It will be your duty, therefore, gentlemen, to say that the defendant is not guilty. The jury accordingly returned a verdict to this effect, and the defendant was dismissed. The learned Recorder observed to the defendant, how. es er, that although the prosecution had failed upon this technicality, the conduct of which he was accused was not a course of proceeding that could be tolerated in a civilised community, whatever might be the errors or de lusions under which a portion of the people might be labouring. Others might pity them while they differed from them, but they were not on that account to sit in judgment in the way he (the defendant) had thought fit to do—going to a place were parties were conducting themselves peaceably, and interrupting, by violent and abusive language, what was going on. Those persons were bound by the law to have their place of meeting publicly open, and if they violated the law by their acts or speech the law would take cognisance of it ; but it , could not be permitted for individuals who differed opinion to take a course involving violence an dinn. ruption of those proceedings, and to those who nwneds ergo.seemedt their prone to take this course he would say thatit duty to oppose the errors of others with reason meet, and to endeavour by the spread of education among the people to arm them against the insidious in fluence of doctrines of this description. - . Owing to the peculiar adaptation of Scotch pig iron for foundry and forge purposes, the sphere of its consump tion is rapidly extending', and it is penetrating quarters never reached before. Whilst the beneficial consequences which ultimately accrue to the iron trade from the recent modification of the French import duties, and from the liberal movement of the Spanish Government, in regard to the importation of British iron into that country, have not as yet been experienced. Viewing the position of this important branch of our local and national industry in all its bearings—while the great alternative of peace or war continues to trem• ble in tko balance—the prospects of the ensuing year are of a ♦ery cheering description. Masi Williams deposed—l am 16 years of age, and am Mr. Beard emore ' s n i ece . I h ave li ve d with him a month, at the Railway Arcade Hotel. I went to bed on Saturday morning about 2 o'clock, but got up immedi ately, as I heard a quarrel downstairs. It was not Mr. and Mrs. Beardsmore who were fighting. I did not go downstairs, but remained standing on the stairs for about half an hour, and then returned to my bedroom. About 4 o'clock the deceased called me into her bedroom and said it was time to open out the bar, and said I was to go downstairs and try to get my uncle to go to bed. I went down to the newsroom door and asked him to go to bed. He was tipsy. He had been drinking all night, and was in an excited state. When I asked him to go to bed he said ho was going to let the men out. He went downstairs to let some per• sons out, and I returned to the deceased's room. My uncle followed me shortly afterwards, and he asked me what I wanted with my bonnet on. I said my aunt had told me to open the bar with her, and he said I should not, but was to go to bed. At that moment neither made use of bad language. She again said I should, and on that he gave my aunt a slight push. fie took hold of her arm and pushed her away, and said I should not go. She then went to the window, broke a square of glass, and called " Police "and "Murder." He caught hold of her by the arm and gave her a sudden jerk, and she fell down on the floor. She fell on her knees. He did not use any threatening language to her. I don't recollect either of them saying anything. She was very nearly tipsy and was in an excited state. As , she was getting up he struck her a violent blow on the mouth with his fist. I don't recollect what he said. She fell back on me when he struck her. The door came open and she ran out. I don't remember that she cried out as she was running. The door had been opened by some one from the outside before he struck her on the mouth, and when she was on her knees, and it was pushed close by the deceased and her husband wrestling together. After he had struck the deceased the dooragam opened, and Mary Ann Parker, a niece of Mrs. Beards. more, came in. At the same 'ime the deceased ran out. Beardsmore rushed after her, and Mary Ann Parker caught hold of his collar, and said, "Don't uncle ; stop here," I don't recollect that he said why he was rush ing after her. He forced himself from her, and said, "Loose me." He forced himself away from her. I fol lowed him out of the room, and on the top of the stairs. He was downstairs then, but returned in a few minutes. Mary Ann Parker remained on the top of the stairs with me. When he returned ho was very much ex cited, and said " where is she 9" He had nothing in his hands. He was in a passion ; he pushed me away from 1 The gaming -houses of Aix-les-Baines, in Savoy (says the Union), have just been suppressed. It is in conse quence of an order of the day moan', of the council gene ral of the provincial division that the Ministry has put an end to this source of immorality, and this cause of ruin to so many families. THE NEW CREDIT BANK AT VIENNA.—A letter from Vienna states that the directors of the new Credit Bank have at length come to a resolution as to the man ner in which the shares subscribed, which greatly exceed the number to he awarded, shall be divided ; and that it is to the effect that persons who have subscribed for fewer than 25 shares shall receive half a share, that those who have subscribed for 25 to 50 shall receive a whole one, that those who have subscribed for 50 to 100 shall have two, and so on. gat T h l i D n E g G a A t lt Tr C e A ti T e T g L a E r, I..‘ S L o n w. — mo u r t r h h s e h annual (1 e agricultural r. ing care of Sir Charles Morgan, Bart., was this year even more attractive than ever. The number of silver cups and pieces of plate awarded at this show was no less than 55, of which number 11 were given by Sir Charles Morgan, and the rest by the local M.P.'s and orivate gentlemen. Money prizes were also awarded. }THE RUGELEY MURDER. —The following insurances were effected on the life of the late Walter Palmer, of Rugeley Athenaeum, 10,200/. ; British Equitable, 5001. ; Bruns w i c k, 500 ; Caxton, 500/. ; Era, 2,50 07 . ; Falcon, 5001. ; Magnet, 2,500/. ; Prince of Wales, 5,0001. ; Saxon, 2501. ; Security, 500/. ; and office not named, 500/. ; total, 23,450/. The deceased was bro ther to Wm. Palmer, accused of the murder of Cooke. A copy of this list was furnished so early as September last to the different insurance offices of London. Propo sals were, it ,is said, also made to the Gresham and other offices, which, however, were not accepted. The medical examiners employed by the insurance offices could find no trace of organic disease in the deceased Walter Pal mer, but some of them observed a stupor for which there was no means of accounting by any statements which they could procure. RUSSIAN NETS.—" Letters from the Crimea," says the Slut Public of Lyons, " have often spoken of the nets which the Russian soldiers used in their sorties, in order to take some of their opponents prisoners. A Zouave, lately liberated from service, who has resumed his former occupation of a silk weaver, wishing a day or two back to give his comrades in the workshop an example of the mode of employing these articles, one of which b e b a d brought back from Sebastopol, threw the net suddenly over another workman who had his back turned. The latter, being thus suddenly drawn from his balance, fell heavily on the floor and broke his leg. The consterna tion of the others can scarcely be imagined, and, above all, of the trier of military experiments. A collection was immediately made foe the injured man, and, as the fracture is a simple one, no further ill effects than a pe riod of forced inaction axe apprehended."

IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY MORNING. THE POLITICAL PRIESTHOOD. The Nation of to-day makes a fresh revelation in con nection with the threatened repression of priestly inter. ference in temporal matters. The organ is now credibly assured that it is assented to in a well-informed circle of this city, that the Government, appalled by rumours which havereached them of the influence wielded by the Catholic clergy against their candidate at the Meath election, have determined to introduce a bill early next session for the purpose of preventing any future in terference of the kind. Without disputing the Nation's sources of information upon any movement conne'zted with the church of Rome, the foregoingstatement, as fir as regards legislative intervention for the abatement of a crying scandal, must be received for what it is worth. If it be true that Dr. Cullen, with the sanction and autho rity of the Pope, has determined to limit the duties of the clergy to affairs of a spiritual nature—and some such policy is generally supposed to be in contemplation — why not let the hostile parties adjust their own squabbles without dragging them before the British Legislature ? There is not an educated Roman Catholic in Ireland who is not heartily ashamed of the late display at the Meath election, and so universal is this feeling that it iu more than doubtful whether such a trial upon the patience of any constituency would be again ventured upon even without the interference of the Court of Rome or the Parliament of England. The Tablet itself is almost abashed at the agencies employed to effect the return of Bishop Cant well's nominee, and suggests the ballot as the only remedy for those who complain of priestly domination and mob-intimidation. THE IRISH CHURCH. The new Dean of Down (the Rev. Mr. Woodward) was formerly one of the secretaries of the Church Educa tion Society, but has long since modified his views upon the educational question, and is now a supporter of the national system. As a churchman, his leanings are be lieved to tend toward s the high rather than to the low party. The former, however, comprise but an insig nificant section of the clergy of the established church in Ireland. FRENCH PROVISIO N CONTRACT have learnt Du6lin Mercant i le Adrerti Ber says learnt with much satisfaction that our enterprising fel low-citizen, Mr. Michael Smith , of Copper - alley,has - entered into a contract with the Government of hslm perial Majesty Napoleon for the supply of several hun dred tierces—about 1,000, we believe—of Irish beef, t o be delivered at the port of Brest or Cherbourg a definite period. This event is a novel one in the eqtufber• vial history of our city. We are not, indeed, aware th at a Dublin provision merchant has ever before no w h ad such a mercantile transaction with any French Govern• went. If such did occur it must have been a long time since ; and the country is indebted to Mr. Smith for thus opening an important branch of trade with Franey." TRADE AND AGRICULTURE. A Westmeath journal mentions a gratifying fact that the Tx..rinyards throughout that rich agricultural county present. an appearance of abundance superior to what has been heretofore witnessed. This circumstance, it is fairly remarked, assumes vast importance when it is con sidered that the Payment of rents is al mos t un i ver sally Con n advance o funiversallyorme r years, demonstrating as it does that the circumstances of farmers have greatly improved ; for in past years the payment of rents at this season ne cessitated in most casts the unreserved sale of oat-stacks and other farm produce.

FIRE AT MANCEESTER.—On Friday night, at half-past 11 o'clock, a pile of warehouse buildings, extending from High-street into Marsden-square, Manchester, was dis covered to be on fire, and the flames spread with great rapidity, consuming the greater portion of the stocks of cotton goods in six warehouses. The sufferers were Dir. W. Crompton (in whose cellar the flames were first seen)t Messrs. G. Goodwin and CO., Messrs. Kendal, Riddel, and Co., Mr. J. Taylor, Mr. L. Woolf, and Mr. J. An' drews.

TUE STRIKE AT MANCHESTER. - The strike of spinners and piecers at Manchester con tinues, but at one of the mills six operatives resumed work on Thursday, and three more on Friday. This was at the mill of Mr. J. Clark e , i n H elen a-street, and the consequence was that great excitement prevailed on Friday among the turnouts, and on Friday at noon one and at him. O n e.c. was I I n b r r e o t u u g r i n t . iog of the "knobstockm was followed fr om t h e m i ll to his house, fromh and assailed din ne dinner with stones threats were is abu b S e a f t o u r r e da th y e Limerick,mTahgoinistarsatescharge aspinner, thrown with having taken a lead ing part in this intimidation and violence. A. spinner named William Gutteridge stated that he was working at Mr. Clarke's mill, and left it at one o'clock to go home to dinner. He was followed by the prisoner Limerick and others, who asked him if he meant to leave his work and join the strike ? He said he did not, and they t h en attacked him, and chased him to the door of his hou se in Branson-street. The prisoner remained under hi s front window, threatening him, from ten minutes past 1 to a quarter before 2 o'clock. lie was again attacked on returning to work, and stones were thrown at him. He had known the prisoner two years, and could not be mistaken in his identity. The prisoner threatened him with vengeance, if it were seven years before it could be taken. Gutteridge's wife corroborated his statement, and spoke to Limerick's identity, and said Limerick told her if her husband came out of his house to return to work they would kill him. For the defence three wit nesses were called to prove an alibi. Mr. Maude, the magistrate, after hearing the evidence, said the defence had proved too much ; they had proved that the pri soner was in two places at once. The bench had no doubt of the facts, and could not permit gross intimida tion and violence like this. The operatives had a right to turn out and get higher wages if they could, but they must give to others the same liberty they ats:erted for themselves. The prisoner was sentenced to one calendar mouth's imprisonment, with hard labour. It is said that the funds collected for the turnouts last week afforded a dividend only of a shilling each per son.
