Yesterday, immediately on the adjudication of the fiat in bankruptcy by Mr. Commissioner Evans against the bank, Johnstone, the messenger of the court, with seve ral of his assistants, proceeded, under instructions from Mr. Lee, the official assignee, and Messrs. Linklater, his solicitors, to the head office, in Threadneedle-street, and, after serving the adjudication of the court, entered on the premises, and took fortioal possession of the bank. They arrived there at 12 o'clock, and forthwith posted up the adjudication in the bank ; but it was immediately re moved by the officers of the interim manager. Mr. Wintle, one of the assistant messengers, proceeded to seize the cash bags in the hands of the clErks, but was immediately made to surrender them. The messengers were then generally confronted by the interim manager and his solicitor..;, Messrs. Chilton and Burton, and Messrs. Amory, Travers, and Smith, who peremptorily ordered them, in the name of the Court of Chancery, to refrain from touching any of the books or effects of the bank. The messengers of the Court of Bankruptcy deemed it expedient to comply with these expostulations, but refused to retire from the premises. Mr. Harding then explicitly told them that he refused to recognise the order of the Court of Bankruptcy, and said he would only allow them to remain so long as they continued passive. An armistice having been agreed upon, the interim manager immediately proceeded to serve copies of the order of the Court of Chancery on the Court of Bankruptcy and on the official assignee, and also pro ceeded to the various branches of the bank in different parts of the metropolis, in each of which, to the surprise of the previous occupants, he found a messenger of the • Court of Bankruptcy in possession, with whom he dealt as he had done with those in Threadneedle-street. Yes terday at the Strand branch, about 400 depositors came in and lodged their claims. LIABILITY OP RAILWAY COMPANIEB.—At the Don. caster County Court, on Monday, an action was brought by a horse dealer named Thompson, residing at Man. chester, against the Midland Railway Company, to re cover the sum of 501., reduced damages, as compensa tion for the loss sustained by him in consequence of the alleged neglect of the plaintiffs in not having forwarded, according to contract, three valuable horses from Don- caster to Manchester. The facts of the case are as fol lows :—The plaintiff attended the horse fair at Doncaster in August last, and purchased there three valuable nags, which he desired to forward to Manchester. A train was advertised to leave Doncaster at 3.30 p.m., for Manchester, by the Midland line, and the plaintiff's man booked the three horses to go by that train. The plain tiff himself and his assistant also took tickets for the same train, but they were informed, just before the time of starting, that the horses could not go, as the train was a fast one. The plaintiff, however, i ns i s t e d on his right to have them sent, as they were booked, stating that he had made inquiries at the honking-office in the morn ing, and could have sent his horses by another route, if he had not been told that they could go by the Midland line. Ultimately tke horses were allowed to go by the train, but at Swinton, about nine miles from Dorchester, the boxes in which they were conveyed were detached from the train. The plaintiff proceeded on his journey, but did not miss the animals until he reached Sheffield. He got to M anc h es t er at 7 p.m., and at 10 p.m. made inquiries at the station for the horses, but they bad not arrived. On the following day he found that they had come in early in the morning, but be found them in such bad condit ion f rom exposure and neglect that he scarcely knew th em aga i n ; th e y had got cold, their legs were swollen, and they had " staring coats." A vete ' rinary surgeon was called in, but the horses were so much deteriorated in value that the plaintiff bad been unable to sell them, and bad them still upon his hands, although, before leaving Doncaster, he had been offered a profit of 151. upon one of them. For the de fence it was contended that the horses bad been booked by the 3.30 p.m. train by mistake, and that the plaintiff having a dealer's ticket ought to have looked after his horses himself. The judge (Mr. W. Walker) told the jury that they had to consider whether a breach of con tract had been committed by the defendants--of which there could be little doubt —and to assess the damages. The jury billed a teidict for the plaintiff, with 33, da* tua . ;es and 6/. 10 I. cats. • 8 . • * 41.1111: " ..

Mr. Serjeant Sheet who is connected with the district by marriage, in reply to the toast of his health at the din ner, said :—" When I came into the House of Commons, I confess that my impression was very different, from that which has lately been promulgated in Scotland. I found it composed of orators who would have held, if not the first rank, at least a place amongst the first in the earlie,t annals of our parliamentary history—of statesmen not only familiar with the interests of their own country; but with the,power, and the iesourees of all the empires and countries of the world—of lawyers of the first emi nence -- of. eminent merchants, manufacturers, and bankers, whose mere signature would be the key to trea sures of wealth in every city in the known world—of a landed aristocracy who would bear comparison in intelli gence, patriotism, and independence with the aristocracy of any country on the face of the earth. My opinion of that house, I confess, was very different indeed from that which younger men have lately expressed of it. I found that every man who had anything to the purpose to is:q— ui-or, ma,n ..•ho had taken the trouble to prepare himself, and exhibited that reasonable diffidence which all well bred men will exhibit when they address an assembly com posed of persons of education, is sure of an attentive audi ence, that a fairer assembly does not exist in the known world than the House of Connisons. For the presumptu ous and self-sufficient, the loquacious without information —with nothing to attract attention about them but their presumption and their ignorance —there is no toleration, nor ought there to be ; but to every man who has any thing to say to the purpose, who knows what he is talking about, every encouragement is given by the House of Com mons. I have observed that the oldest members, and the most distinguished members of that house, are those who would be least likely to find fault with the well-meant in dustrions efforts of younger members to serve their coil stituents and do good service' to their country. They are not the men to sneer at persons —` members who have hobbies to ride upon ;' they are not the men to talk of persons in terms of disrespect who do their best for the service of their country."

Brother Starkey and Brother Thomas, the shining lights of the Agapemone, held forth in the Assembly rooms on riiday night. The rooms were densely crowded. After the usual farrago of blasphemy and non• sense, Mr. Hellard, ironmonger, asked, ." If the door of mercy was shot, what was the use of being there ?" Another person denounced the proceedings as sheer humbug, to gull the public. Mr. HELLARD wished to know whether the door was shut. Let the gentleman answer that. (Cheers, and a voice—" He can't.") How long has the door of mercy been shut—making so bold ? The scene of confusion at this moment was really aw ful, the hisses, oat-calls, screeches, and expressions of disapprobation being wholly indescribable. It was, in fact, a perfect Babel of indignant voices. At length, Mr. THOUAS, who had been going through his decla matory movements on the platform, held up his finger in a remonstrating attitude, and raid :—lf you have any intention of hearing what I will tell you, I will proceed, but if nut, I call Heaven to witness that on you and you alone rests the rejection of my warning. In refusing to hear the message from God through "Brother Prince," your blood be upon your own heads. If you will not listen to the word which I declare to you is sent foryour deliverance from the power and kingdom of the devil, that is entirely a question between you and your GA. We come here iu all honesty and sincerity of heart ; we ask you not fcr anything ; all we look for is gentlemanly conduct. We want nothing of you ; we come to testify what God has done—what we have seen, and it is for you to reconcile your refusal to hear it with God and your consciences. (Uproar.) The Rev. W. T. REDFERN, incumbent of Taunton St. James, rose in the body of the meeting,, and said you allow me to say one word ? (Cheers.) It would sate the time of the meeting if, sir, instead of giving us those doctrines which we all hear in our respective churches, you would bring us to what I may call th , e , distinctive character of your teaching. ("Hear, hear, and cheers.) Mr. BARNICOV—WiII the first speaker, Mr. Starkey, be kind enough to answer the question of Mr. Hellard ? We want that question answered before we go any fur ther. I mean Mr. Starkey's saying first that the door of mercy was closed, and then offering salvation to all of us here. If the question is not answered now we shall not stand a chance of getting it answered at all. We are met here as men of common sense, and we just want a common-sense answer to a plain question. We hope Mr. Starkey is come here to enlighten our minds—will he do so by answering the question ? (Cheers.) Mr. Starkey, though thus appealed to, still continued sitting in an abstract mood, and the calls being loudly continued, Mr. Tnomas said—lf you really are.to hear anything at all, you will hear what I have to say. (" No, no," and great uproar.) The speaker here placed his overcoat over his arm, toak up his hat, as it to depart, and raid — " Hearken, hearken, to my words. (Hfsses, and cries of" Starkey.") This is your condetunatioo, if you refuse to hear me— (" Humbug," and disapprobation)—this is your condem nation ; men love darkness rather than light, because their deeds are evil. (Uproar.) Mr. [lmam) —We only, want you to answer the question. (Cheers and hisses.) Mr. LEE, the lessee of the assembly - room, then an nounced etetiengplatf was dissolved, and th e two epsakera calmly platform, amid th e s h outs of thatthe lef meeting the derision mini jeers of the crowd, one of whom, as Messrs. Starkey and Thomas made their exit, exclaimed, "Pretty fellows ! I wonder the blush of shame doesn't mantle your cheeks." The Ile 7. W. T. REDFERN was then askel to take the chair, which he declined. The rev. gentleman, however, said—l was rather anxious that the last speaker should have been heard as to what ".as the distinctive character of their teaching. The first speaker certainly left us quite in darkness, and perhaps the second might have enlightened us. (" He couldn't.") We have, .however, heard sufficient to show that what these persons call the Gospel is, in our opinion, diametrically opposed to the gospel of Jesus Christ. (Cheers.) They emphatically bestate that the dispensation of Christ is closed, and that Jesus Christ is uow coming again to offer a fresh salvation. I heard hith say in the first•place He is corning to judge the world, and then he said, Jesus Christ is corning to offer us a second salvation through " Becither Prince." Now I cannot understand or re concile that. (Applause.) I should be very sorry, for the character of our town, for us to allow this meeting to close without coming to a resolution de claring our opinion of the character of the teaching of these men ; and as such resolutions have been passed in other towns, I beg to move—" That the opinions that have been expressed here this evening, by the speakers( from the Agapernono, are, in the opinion of this meeting,, blasphemous towards God, entirely opposed to the teaching of Jesus Christ, and degrading to humanity. The resolution was carried amid loud caters, and the meeting terminated,—Sherborne Journal. IRISH AND SCOTCH BANKS.

LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER. 10 ; 1856. M.Z. H. DRUMMOND ON " 401VDON POETBR." At. the anraval mceting of the Surrey A; - :!reilltura) !d -yesterday at Epsom, Mr. Drlinninucl S ~._ :, "GeTol,lmeu,-,I• fiat K:V in a Ger man paper, when I was in Germany lately, that in England had gone holiday-tuaking,, and I fir.:: pretty much the same sentiment re .echoed in the English newspapers. It seems to have been the ge•ieral rule that' all agricultural meetings lately held politics should be banished,; or nearly so. Now, I have taken the liberty more than once, in speak ing to you, to beg and pray of you to have meetings at which your members should talk to you about poli. tics,- so if you have not heard already anything I have to tell you, it is your fault, and not mine. I might very welneave the discussion of politics upon the present , occasion, but I am the less inclined to do so because have lately seen some extraordinary recommendations from certain gentlemen who are going to reform the Administration, and to effect wonders in the House of Commons; and, among the rest, they are going to make every one of us 600 unfortunate gentlemen give our opi nions every night on every possible subject submitted to us. - We live to see strange things, indeed 1 Now, gen ilemen, with regard to agricultural statistics, I am of opinion that there is a vast deal of humbug in the matter. (Cheers and laughter.) I don't believe it is worth your while either to oppose them or adopt them: 'lf anybody wants to know how many acres of wheat, or of turnips, or potatoes, I grow, I'll tell him ; bat as to, its being of the smallest use_to any living man, I don't believe one word of it. People go mad, And nations are going mad, after these'statistics • and if . you don't fur u ish them, I'll tell you what will be the consequence'.' You wiliehave fellows Setif itincfid the country to take them, . and then you will have to pay for them pretty smartly,' That is the point about this agitation which I diilike. I think the odds are that the gentlemen who will be sent, roiled will be the barrister of seven years' standing, and this is a . sort of gentleman Who, I thief., is .etting a vast deal too' much employthent already. I think " it is perfectly absurd to suppose that these agricultural statistics will be 'of the smallest use. You cannot give the requisite information directly after the crop is out of the ground,' for I defy any body in the world, and no farmer is fool enough to suppose that he can `tell how his crops will turn out until they are thrashed. It is, therefore, no thing but nonsense to pretend that any advantage what ever can arise to the farmer from the collection of agri cultural statistics. Now, my hon. friend in the chair alluded to the tax upon ale. I believe I have advocated more than any one in the house its removal. lam not only fond of ale myself, but I positively believe it to be a national institution. I don't like the nasty, beastly black compound which goes under the name of London porter. (Cheers and laughter.) And yet, although I am so fond of ale, I know, I believe, but one single house in the whole county of Surrey where good'ale is to be bad. (Laughter.) A little while ago we had a song about the golden days when there was ale in the cottage and ale in the hall, but I candidly confess that I have never seen ale in the cottage since I was a child. (Hear; hear.) I must, however, do Mr. Disraeli the justice to say that he was willing to take off half the malt tax. (Mar, hear.) But 6y whom was he prevented ? Why,, by the same gentlemen who cry out, " Oh, dear me) don't tax the poor man in the articles of his consumption ; no, no, tax realised property." They were great advo-t, catee for taxing realised property. "Well, then," thought Mr. Disraeli, " what is so much realised property as a house ? I'll put a tax upon houses." But what way the consequence ? All London got up in arms. Every large provincial town get up in arms, and declared host shameful they were served. By what ?—by his putting a tax upon what ? Why upon realised property. And there are people who say, " Don't drink beer." Beer, forl south 1 why there's hardly any one in the country who knows what beer is now. If we were to shut up all the brewers in London in a room, and give them nothing but malt and hops, I don't suppose that all the malt and hops in the world would enable them to turn out that nasty black stuff they call porter. I recently got nut of a friend of mine how much malt was used to a hogshead 'of liquor in the great London porter breweries. I dare say most of you—at all events sometof you—re member the time when it was thought a point of honour never to send the great barley-rake into a field to clean it until after the labourer had been there to glean, so as to get enough to brew himself a little beer. Some of that beer I have tasted, and certainly it was not'very strong. The proportion of malt, put into a hogslead— I don't mean to say the labourer brewed a hogshead, or anything like it—but the proportion of malt he put in was six bushels ; the farmer brewed eight, and the gentle man 10 or 12. But what do you think the proportion of malt put in the London porter is ? Two bushels. (Loud laughter.) Now, 1 was telling this to a friend of mine in the House of Commons who is a capital trawer himself, and I wanted to pump out of him how much he put in his. (Laughter.) He wouldn't tell me that, but he said, I'll send you a dozan as a present And he did send a dozen, and very good it was. " But," said I, "doesn't it appear to be very strong?" " Well," he replied "I'm a good deal accustomed to go out deer stalking, shooting, and sporting in the Highlands; I always drink it, and I never find it affect me." (Laughter.) I fear that we shall never get the malt tax off for the bandit of the farmers unless there is a very strong effort made. (Cheers, and a cry of " Bravo !") Now, what's the use of crying " Bravo, bravo I" unless you come up with petitions and remonstrances and back me in the house ? Gentlemen, I believe this question of beer presses as much upon the morals as the comforts of the people; and if by the means of removing the malt tax you cao give them plenty of really good beer, you will do more to reform their morals than by all the trumpery schemes that are now being so strongly advocated. (Cheers and laughter.) ottated to , call-atte n tion to the servees of Mr. Cramp ton, and told that he had great pleaiura in &it:lkt%; with them the toast. .

TIIE BOLG.T4D• DIFF GVLTY. f . _ The Debats of yesterday presents p the follewifig 11,eq - 11 - now: peeling betw.ion as tbey The a , t eli ti o fs f - t o t or l n es;, had for th e ir .ferttl.t! point theprotocol signed at Vienna on the Ist of February. With respect .to the rectification of the Bessarabian frontier, that protocol,declared as Wows : "This fron tier,-thus rectified in a manner conformable to the general interests, shall start from the environs of Chotym, follow the line of mountains which stretch in a south easterly direction, and shall terminate at Lake Salsyk. The boundary fine shall be definitely determined by the treaty of peace, and the'conceded territory shall return to the Principalities, arid to the suzerainty of the Porte." The Congress was occupied with the regulation of the frontiers during its sitting on the Bth of March. A por tion of the sitting on the 10th of March was also devoted thereto, and the protocols contain a detailed account of what was said and done during these two sittings. The Russian plenipotentiaries, denying the possibility of es tablishing a direct line between the two extreme points indicated in the preliminaries of peace, pf.posel a line of frontier conceived on another system,-and as their project excited strong objectibus on - the p . irt of the French, English, and Austrian plenipitentiaries, they ended by declaring "that they had no other object than to establish an agreement conformable to the topography of the country,and the, interest of its inhabitants, and that they were ready, consequently, to discuss any other proposition which might be enibutitted to them." The chief French plenipotefitiary 'propciuttded, on his side, a proposition founded ,en a compensation, and calculated to lead to an ngieement. "After a discussion of this amendment (we qttote from the protocol respecting the sitting of March 8), in. which - all the plenipotentiaries took part, it.was proposed to the Russian plenipoten tiaries to , establish the frontier by means of a line which, setting out from the Pruth; between Sticiva' and gush, should pass to the north of Lake Salsyk, and termi nate beyond Lake Albedies. The Russian plenipoten tiaries, necessitated, as they said, to assure themselves concerning the position under this arrangement of the Bulgarian and •Russian' colonies established in that part of Bessarabia, requested that the diicatssion might be adjourned to the next sitting, -which was agreed to." In the sitting of the 10th of March the Russian plenipotentiaries required a modifi cation of the boundary line which had been pro posed. According to the protocol—" This proposition became the subject of an examination, participated in by all the plenipotentiaries, whe at last agreed that the frontier line should set out from the Black Sea to the east of the Lake Bourria-Solti, rejoin perpendicularly the route of Akerman, follow the same as .the Trajan Val ley, pass to the south of Bolgrad, reascend the river Yalpuck as far as the heights of Saratzlci, and thence terminate at Katamon, on the Proth." Ilk decision is reproduced verbatim in the 20th article of the treaty of March 30th, the Nat paragraph of which runs thus : " Delegates of the contracting powers shall fix the de tails of the new frontier line." The delegates of the powers have accordingly gone to work. On the greater portion of the frontier line they have found themselves free from much dispute, but at Bolgrad they have se t riously differed. Bolgrad is a small town situated at the head of Lake Yalpuck, at a point where the river of that name discharges itself into the lake. It is a town of itself of no importance, but its possession is not without its interest fe - r Bu:sia, cause it is the chief town of those Bulgarian and Rus t sian settlements established in that part of Bessarabia, the condition of which occupied the attention of the Russian plenipotentiaries during the sitting of March 8, and caused them to ask for an adjournment of the pro ceedings. Bolgrad is the commercial centre of those settlements, and a school and a church have been built there by the Russian Government, One may readily conceive that the Russian plenipotentiaries insisted that Bolgrad might be conserved to Russia, and that the other powers consented. But the Bolgrad of to-day, situated on the borders of Lake Yalpuck, is not exactly the same as the Bolgrad of a former date, situated at a short diganca from the lake. The ancient Bolgrad has lost its name. It is now called Taback, or Tainack. It is but little inhabited. The life and stir of the place have concentrated themselves at the New Bolgrad, which, by means of the Lake Yalpuck, is not absolutely deprived of all communication with the Danube. Some of the delegates contend that the new frontier should not pass to the south, but to the north of the modern Bolgrad, and to the south of the ancient Bolgrad only. These delegates, said to be those of Turkey and England, maintain that a line which should pass to the south of the new Bolgrad would be irreconcilable with the well-known intention of the contracting Powers; so much so, indeed, that if the Congress adopted it, this could only be through some misunderstanding, or through a material error, to which power of revocation is always permitted ; that the paramount object was to separate Russia from the Danube, and that this will not be ob tained if its frontier touches the Lake Yalpuck. There has been much debate on this matter, much written and spoken on alriudeg, without coming to an agreement. Now, as the . Congress is summoned to in terpret its work, and to declare whether its intention has been faithfully expressed or not, in the 20th article of the treaty, we see that it is highly expedient that this question should be submitted to its consideration. In all the discussions which have already taken place, there has been revealed a singular matter, which, though not without significance, is not referred to in the pro tocols. When the Russian Plenipotentiaries, in the sitting of the Congress on Match Bth, criticised the pro ject for rectifying the frontier a.linitted at Vienna on the proposition of Austria, and inscribed in the preliminaries of peace, they produced maps drawn up by their designers which gave their remarks a show of plausibility. These maps, according to th:. Russian Plenipotentiaries, exactly tallied with the districts represented, and an inspection of the earns was sufficient to show the error which was allowed to find entrance at Vienna. When the discus sion was resumed at the next sitting, other maps, it is said, were produced from the archives of the French Minister of War. It appears that they came very near to the Russian maps, and were not without influence on the deliberations. We are informed that the Russian Plenipotentiaries now fall back on this circumstance, and defend the frontier-line adopted by the Congress, reminding us that this line, suggested by the French documents, was unan i mous ly proposed to th em by t h e other Powers representck at the Congress ; and that at this moment the correctness of the French maps has not been contested by any oue. But Turkey and England, without denying the fact of the production of the French maps, do nut assign to them the authority which is sought to be allotted to them, but reject them from any weight in determining the point under dispute. They cannot be taken into ac count, say they, unless at the time when iney were pro duced they were marked with the initials of the members of the Congress present. This was not done, and there- fore they maintain that these maps have not found a place in the preceding discussions in the character of official documents, but only as simple referencas to which no one is committed. THE FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE BRYN MALLY MINE. WREXHAM, WEDNESDAY EVENING. Since the fatal occurrence of Wednesday last the great est efforts have been made to pump out the water from the mine; but at first those exertions produced little, if any, effect. There was a slight diminution on Thursday and Friday, but on Saturday the water had increased in depth two . yards above the amount ascertained by ganging at the pit ' s mouth immediately afterthe accident. The usual means of lifting were, of course, insufficient, and the cage,' or largo iron box used in raising the coal and in lowering and raising the men, was brought into requisition at the earliest possible moment. By this additional power, accord. ing to information we 'obtained on the spot, they are now pumping nut 120 tons of water par hour, and it is confi dently believed that, should this be 'continued as it has been, night and day, and no accident occur to the machinery either to-morrow or next day at the latest persons will be able to descend to the upper workings, and ascertain the. fate of the missing men. The fact of a miner in this neigh bourhood, now aged 70, having under similar circumstances some years ago, remained underground for more. than a fortnight with on:y horse flesh to subsist upon, and that a number of horseS were in tbis'mine last Wednesday, gives faint—though very faint—hopes of some ono or two of the uufoitunate 13 victims being yet rescued from a frightful death. • Eight married men having large families, four single men, and a boy, are unaccounted for, and the cir cumstance that they were working, at the time of the in undation, in a level beyond the spot from which the four 1 persons who last emerged escaped in so prec irious a manner, by means of crawling on their bellies more than a mile up the air shaft, raises the strong presumption that they were overtaken by the advancing volume ere they could seize even the small chance of safety which such an outlet pre sented. At the time of the accident, nearly the whole of the 230 miners employed were engaged in the ordinary oc cupations underground, and the escape of such a large ma jority under circumstances perilous in the extreme is en tirely attributable to the presence of mind and the real heroism of a boy named Edwards. He was the first to dis cover the bursting in of the w.,tmr, and to spend the alarm through the workings. The men hastened to the pit's eye, and Edwards, not findina his father among them, set off in another direction with the praiseworthy desire of saving his parent's life. In this he happily succeeded. When retreat was rendered impossible by the a Ivaco ing water, he bethought him of an air shaft known neither to his father nor to his father's two mates ; he conducted them to it, and in the manner above described the four reached an upper working, whence they were dragged to the surface iu an exhausted condition. The inundation was in no way owing to late rains, but to an accumulation of water in an adjoining mine, known as Sparrow's mine, which had not been worked for mo re than 50 years. The Bryn Melly mine belongs to Messrs. Clay ton and Dail ng, a well-known firm in connection with the coal trade of Lancashire, and is ono of the largest in North Wales. This sad event, though occasioning less sensation in a mining district, where less of life seems ever to be contemplated as a continseacyineeparable from the nature of the occupation, has created. unusual reg ret, and that regret is painted in the faces of groups of men, wistfully regarding every lift of the enormous ' cage," and express. ing by their looks in a manner not to be mistaken anxious speculations upon the probable fate of comrades whose accustomed voices they will never hear again. It is surely acrying defect of law that when an un used mine is known, as this Sparrow's mine was known, to be fully c h arge d with water, no steps aro or can be taken to preclude the possibility of casualties such as wo have here to record.

THE PRIESTS AND THE INCOME TAX. The following singular some is reported by the Kilkenny Journal as having been enacted in that. : city on Friday last, the leading parts b e i ng t a ke n by her Majesty's Income-tax Commissioner and the Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald, parish priest of Ballingarry "Commissioner—Are you the Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald l " Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald—tee. " Commissioner—What may be the amount of your annual revenue ? " Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald —I don't know. It varies so much, being one time mere and another time le ss . " Cominissioner—Perhapa you could guess ? " Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald—No, indeed. Any conjecture of mine would be quite vague and uncertain. " Commissioner—Why "Rev Mr. Fitzgerald—Because my reve nue en ti re ly depends on the voluntary offerings of the people, than which nothing can be more fluctuating. The person who gives may give on one occasion a certain sum, and on another occasion he may increase or diminish it, or hold it altogether. I never kept an accurate account of these offerings, and never could. "Commissioner—But here is a paper signed by you, stating the average amount of your revenue, and sub scribed with your name ; is it not an accurate estimate ? ".Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald—No. "OommiAioner- - --Thea why put your name to it ? " R3V. Mr. Fitzgerald—A paper was sent me, saying that unless I gave in some return no appeal would be allowed me. I then wrote down some account—not that I consider, or could consider, it accurate, but to comply with the conditions, and that I might not be deprived of therright of appeal. " Cotunaissioner—ls this your signature? "Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald—l'll not tell yod " CGramiAsioner—W hy not " Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald—Because you have no right whatever to take my revenues ; whatever they may be, they are free and voluntary offerings of the people. "Commissioner—lt i 3 not we who seek to tax you, but the Queen. "Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald—To me it is all the same as, between you. I get nothing 'from either of you, and owe you nothing. Yours is the only Government in Europe that gives nothing, with one trivial exception, to the Catholic Church. You trek away what belonged to her and threw the Catholic clergy for their support on the bounty of the people, and now you are not satisfied with. out imposing on us this tax, the collection of which will cost you more than it will be worth, and render it as odious as tithes were some time ago. " Commissioner—We must rule against you for 1501. " Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald—You may rule as you like, and any amount that it pleases you, but I will appeal to another Court and take advantage of every resource the law affords inn; if this will not avail you may then dis train and sell the means of support given by the libe rality of a faithful and devoted people to a hard-working clergy, but one penny of a tai on their voluntary offer ings you will never receive willingly from inn." TILE INDICTMENT AGAINST JAMES SADLEITt. The Clonmel correspondent of the Dublin, Even ing Mail, writing last night, communicates the following information respecting the fugitive mem ber for Tipperary : "It is currently reported that a writ of cert;orari hap issued from the Court of Queen's Bench for the removal of all the proceedings connected with the indictment found against James Sadleir at last assizes into that court before the first day of November term. Rumour further has it that is the intention of the above-named gentleman to surrender himself for trial upon said in dictment before a Dublin jury next month. The indict. ment is only for a misdemetmour (conspiracy to defraud)." Yesterday a large portion of James Sadleir's fur niture was sold by auction in Dublin, and the sale is to be continued this day. Curiosity attracted a vast crowd of purchasers, and as the articles *ere, as might be expected, of the most costly descrip tion, the highest prices were realised for every thing. At present it is difficult to form an opinion as to the exact amount likely to be obtained by the sale, but it is anticipated that the account, when made up, will show that a considerable sum out of the auction will be at the disposal of the official manager for the benefit of the creditors of the Tipperary Bank. RALLINASI,OE FAIR. The great black cattle fair was held yesterday, and, as was anticipated, there was a considerable fall in prices as compared with the rates obtained last year. The prime cause of the decline was, of course, the cessation of hostilities with Russia, and the consequent reaction on the market of the gene ral peace. The f9lla wing account is furnished by the Freeman's correspondent : ".BALLINASLOE, Wednesday, 9 o'clock.—The great fair for horned stock commenced this day, with the largest supply I have ever seen. Up to the present the greatest dulness prevails, very few sales having been yet made. The stock-masters say they are willing to sell at last year's prices, but the buyers are all hanging back, and I should say there will be a considerable fall in prices. In the top cattle that have been as yet sold there was a fall, as compared with last year, of 1/. per head. 'rise lion. A. Nugent sold his top lot this morning at 211., being 10s. snore than last year, but the beasts were fully 30s. a bead better, making a fall of 11. The weather is very fine and dry, with pleasant sunshine. The fair is now beginning to assume a broken appearance. " 5 o'clock.—The cattle fair, which has now for the last two hours terminated, has proved a most unsatis factory one for the stock-masters. Prices of nearly every description of stock are down fully 255. to 30s. or 355. a head, and in some cases even snore. The class which least felt the depression was the large, fat, high-priced hullocks and top heifers ; but even tease are down from 103. to 1/. a head. Tee class on which the great reduction took place was heifers cf from PI. or 101. to 151. or 161. Oa these there was a full fall of 303. a beast, of which about half, or from that to /Z., was a fall between early morning and the midday. Until the returns are made up to-night it will be impossible to say how much stock bas left the fair unsold ; but I know many of the largest stock-musters who have taken home part or all of their stock rather than sell at the reduced prices. Many causes have tended to produce the falling off. In the first place, prices last year were very high, and could not reasonably be expected to be upheld. The cattle fair last year was ushered in by a thick fog, in the midst of which many sales were effected at prices which the buyers afterwards regretted, but which gave a tone. to the fair, which, al though an enormous oue, may have induced parties to ex pect similar prices this fair. Again, the present unset tled state of the money-market and the recent rise in the discounts at the B ink of England have no doubt consi derably affected the purchase of stock at Ballinasloe. Be this as it may, I have known many men to sell to-day at prices cansiderably below what they expected, from sheer necessity. This must not be taken as indicating that there was anything approaching to a panic, but most of the Roscommon and Mayo graziers feed their cattle to the highest point their lend will allow for Ballinasloe, and therefore they must sell 'here or take back their stock to hold them over for other fairs at considerable ex pense. I know one gentleman from Roscommon who sold at 3 o'clock to-day a very fine lot of 80 heifers at 13/. 5s , for which I saw him refuse 141. at 8 o'clock in the morn ing. This state of things quite bears out what I stat,d the first day I came down, although I could not then imagine the falling off in prices would be so general or so much. of cattle sold att i c ; u S n u s b o j l o d in fo e r d t i h s e a l r a e s, e t, o :sl r di d : y o e f .a.. t r h s e 67 numb er 4 Sold.

SUB: ARINE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. A public dinner was given last evening, at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street, to Professor Morse, of the United States by the telegraph companies, in acknow ledgment of hie services in the development of the elec• trio telegraph, and with the view of publicly expressing an opinion of the importance of a direct submarine tele graph to America. The chair was occupied by Mr. W. Fothergill Cooke, one of the directors of the Electric Telegraph Company, who, with Professor Wheatstone, first practically seta blished the system in Great Britain. The chairman was supported by Professor Morse (the guest of the evening), Sir J. Carmichael, Chairman of the Submarine Elet fis Telegraph Company ; General Wylde, Dr. O'Sloaug,h nessy, Sir C. Fox, Capt. Beecher, Mr. Cyrus Field, Dr. Whitehouse, Mr. Rowland Hill, Lord C. Clinton, &c. The usual loyal toasts having been given, The CMIIRMAN. in an appropriate speech, proposed "The hea th of Professor Morse, and may he long live to enjoy the high reputation he has attained throughout the world." (Cheers.) Professor Mona; in returning thanks, said—Gentle men, gratifying as is applause—gratifying especially 83 is your applause—it is a cup that has intoxication in it ; and I should have shrunk from it as from the excess tf the wine cup, and have declined your honour this day, but that you have most happily connected with your grateful courtesy two other objects of vastly more im portance than any which merely proposes honour to me. The objects you propose are—first, the expression of opinion on the importance of a direct submarine tele. graph to America ; and, secondly, to testify to your friends across the Atlantic your high estimation of my contributions to the success and development of the electric telegraph. As more immediately connected with what I have previously said, bear with me first in a few remarks suggested by the latter proposition. If I seem to tread on delicate ground, I trust, before I am through, you will find it only a seeming trespass. It indeed, true that among a large class in the United. States—arid that class, too, which may with great pro priety be termed your " friends" (at least your natural friends)—there has been for a long period of time the strong impression. that, from some cause not easily ex• plained, there wits a great unwillingness on the part of England to give to Americana their just historical posi tion in discoveries and inventions. Such an impression existing as a principle of action is surely of some poli tical importance, becoming, as it must become, if not removed, a festering thorn in the hearts of some of the most cultivated of the laud. Such an impression, were it well founded, is fraught with danger to that good feeling which ought to exist, I will not say between ',he citizens of the two countries, but between the citi- tens of all counties. And hence it is, gentlemen, that I can accept this demonstration towards myself upon broader and more comprehensive considerations than any mere individual gratification. The cause of inter national good feeling I will hope is somewhat pro moted by it ; and however humble may be the reel pient of your attention, your motives, gentlemen, stand out in bold relief. The animus which moves your act towards me this day will not the less manifest to my countrymen your disposition to show them both justice and honour. (Cheers.) In conclusion, the learned professor proposed the health of the chairman, as the pioneer of British telegraphs. (Loud applause.) The CHAIRMAN acknowledged the compliment, and in doing so alluded to the services rendered to science, and the cause of international communication, by Professor Wheatstone, the introducer of the electric telegraph in England ; Mr. Rowland Hill, the inventor of the penny postage; Dr. O'Shaughnessy, who had b ee n at great pains to introduce the electric telegraph system into India; Sir Charles Fox, the builder of the Crystal Pa lace ; and Mr. Brett, the inventor of the wire rope for submarine telegraphs ; for, should they ever thus con nect England and America, the chief glory would be due to Mr. Brett, whose health he begged to propose. The toast having been received with loud applause, M Sir r. C. BRETTFOX briefly next addressedthereplei company, and reminded the chairman that though Mr. Brett had first tested the possibility of crossing the Channel with the electric tele graph, the merit of really accomplishing the connexion of the two coasts was due to Mr. Crampton. He begged to propose that gentleman's health. (Cheers.) The CHAIUMAN apologised for having unwittingly Id; Per i VS 6i i ig of lot day wing —s; ) 45s r 454 OP' r qr. 6 10 1 1 223 t, 3, 413 'lid 16
