The Limerick Chronicle of .a -„ turday states that Mr. Smith, Queen's Counsel, -, resided on 1)1 Friday at Ennis, by order of the Government, " to investigate all the matter relating to the late fatal affray in that town, so far as the conduct of Mr. Sm3th, stipendiary magistrate, and that of the police, vas concerned." '[he Learned Barrister very properly ordered the policemen who had been committed under the Coroner's warrant to be brought up and remain. in court during an investigation affecting themselves. The first and principal witness was Mr. L. C. Smyth, who deposed to the circumstances already laid b 3 us before the public, and he was followed by the Rev. Mr. Hennessy. " The police," adds the Limerick Chronicle, " on their way to and from th• gaol, were saluted with curses loud and deep' by the congregated mob." As the evidence of Mr. Fitzsimon, the Sub-inspector of Police, was not reported in the former accounts, and as it details some facts exculpatory of the force under his command, so far as mo. ral forbearance being shown under great provocation, before the firing commenced, I subjoin a brief sketch of it : Thomas Fitzsimon sworn.—ls Sub-inspector of Police here. Was called on Monday eve ring, about ten o'clock, accompa nied by the pslice party, consisting of about 14 men, and Mes-rs. Brown and Smyth, through the town. There was a great crowd collected at Mr. Bannatyn e ' s stores. They were pelting stones at the gate. Did not then consider the police force sufficiently strong. Sent fur a reinforcement. In the meantime marched with the men through sev, ral parts of the town until they came to the Court-house, where they met Captain De Ruvynes and Mr. Browne. At the store heard two or three cry out, " get sledges to break open the dour." Heard them also say that all they required was " two hours' plunder." Witness from the Court-house went to the bar rack, ard brought the remainder of the men, except the guard. Brought out 24 or 25 men the second time. Ihe whole then consisted of about 3S, with four mounted men. Then they marched down and turned towards Mr. Bantle tyne's stores again. As soon as they made the turn on the Mill-road, heard a number of shots fired either from or about the stores. Continued the march until they got •to the double store. Halted the party, and drew them in line Actoss the road. That was by Mr. Smyth's order. The mob had by this time increased to a great number of men, women, - and children, and closed on the police within about a yard 'and a half of them. 1 hey were then obliged to fix bayonets to keep the mob from rushing in. Mr. Smyth went into the Crowd and began to address the populace. Before that Mr. Browne asked Mr. Smyth, had he the Riot Act about him ? He said he had not. Captain De Ruvynes then said he had it. The crowd began to press more and more ; we had to bring the guns of the front rank down to the charge to prevent a further rush. Mr. Smyth was then three or tour yardain advance among the crowd, exhorting the people . to di s p erse .. Wh en Mr. :myth saw the bayonets down to the charge, he desired them to shoulder arms, and that he would bring away the people. The people then replied, that his belly was full, and theirs were empty, aad that they would get provisions.. It was at this time they spoke of two hours' plunder.. Heard Mr. Smyth and Mr. Hennessy addressing the people at differ ent places. 1 heir answers were the same to Mr. Hennessy. They were attacking the stores at this time. Witaess 'then went to the right of tte division, where there was one of the store gates, which he found broken open by the people.. It was a yard gate. Took two men with him there. In two or three minutes after they recommenced pelting stones. Did not hear Mr. Browne ask Captain De Ituvynes for in structions. Mr. Browne sent witness a second time for Mr. Smyth. Ceuld not find him. His object was to get instrues Lions. Not more than eight or ten minutes elapsed between the first and second sending. When witness returned, the stones were still flying, and most of the men had been struck. Saw the stones, and felt them. Mr. Browne got a blow of a stone en the head, which knocked him down. Saw Captain De Ruvynes struck on the mouth with a stone. Mr. Brown again requested witness to go for Mr. Smyth. Witness did not go. 'I lie excitement of the mob was so great, that he was afraid to do so by himself. Captain De Ruvynes then took a card out of his pocket, and holding it up said, " People, here is.the Riot Act; in the name of the Queen, I call on you all to disperse, and go to your homes." This he said two or three times. lie was in the centre of witness's party. He 'then moved to the left, and immediately the firing commenced. The firing commenced about the centre of the left section. Witness was on the right, and Mr. Browne, near Captain De Ravynes, at t'..e left. Distinctly heard Mr. Browne say, "Don't fire, men, be steady." Mr. Smyth—ls the discipline of the force of such a nature as requires an officer to give orders against firing, when no order had been given to fire, or in anticipation of such an act? Mr. Fitzsimon—Yes.—( Murmurs.) A Juror—Who gave the police orders to prime and load ? Mr. Fl zsimon—Nobody ; on the contrary, when we saw them do so, Mr. Browne, the head constable; and I ran up and down the ranks,' cursing and abusing the men for daring to do so without orders. Mi. O'Connell-,That is of great importance to the head constable, as public report speaks loudly against him, By a Juror—The men fired without orders from their com manding officer, at least so far as he could hear. Did not exa mne the carbines when the men returned to barracks, to ascer tain whO had fired and who had not. It was the head constable that told witness some of the men had not fit-ed. A Juror What is the reason that after the men had fired Mr. Briiwne, the head constable, an' d you called out to the men to cease? Air.. Fitssimon—Beeauie I thought that the first shot would:disperse them, and so it did; for the people then ran away. Witness cannot say how many shots were fired at the first time, ,belisre the words "cease fire" were given. The moment they heard they called outto the men to ,care. Does say - that thepeliee continued to fire on the people while they - were running away.—(Great sensation. ) As soon as the verdict of the jury was announced, an inde scribable scene tollowed. Gies of " A perjured jury ! ' " Who screened the murderers ?" On their way through Gaol-street from the Court, the jurors were greeted with groans and s_ , yells of eisale, robation by the mob. 'she excitement was kept ialive and increased by the Coroner's delay in granting a war • rant for the committal of the police. Gaol-street was ren• tiered impassaLle from the crowds collected opposite Mr. Greents's residence and the police barrack, and so much more impatient were Ve people becoming that the Dragoons were ordered eutfor the purpose of preventing any outisunt of the in flammable element. Mr. O'Connell addressed the crowds' in several parts of the street ; he exhorted them to forbearance fur a short time, and he pledged his oath and honour that he would not sleep until the 38 barbarous murderers were safely lodged within the precincts of the county gaol. Every moment the crowns increased and became more impatient ; the warrant was at length obtained, and a troop of the sth Dragoon Guares, and a party of the 851 h, were drawn up opposite the po- Lee barrack at fialf-past nine. Thirty-e ght pnlicemee, unarmed and unaccoutred, were marched to prison, amidst shouts of ex ultation at the mob triumph, mixed with the deepest groans and execrations. IIURDER OF A WIFE BY lIER This neighbourhood has been thrown into a state of the most extraordinary alarm and excitement for the last week, in con sequence of a most horrible and brutal murder at Killeen.... near the demesne of Durrow, where the late lamentented Earl of Norbury was most mysteriously, but most barbarously, mur dered—of Mary Wheelahan, on the night of Tuesday, the 31st ult., who was strangled to death by Walter Wheelahan, her husband, who had her body concealed in a tillage field under ground, near their dwelling-house, until last Sunday. The supposed cause of th's murder is an unaccountable hatred of he wife, produced by, perhaps, a criminal attachment of the husband to another female. This good and virtuous womal was two days murdered before she was missed by her friends. Upon inquiry, they were told by the husband and his relatives, that, as they did not live happy together, she got some money and went to America. 'the statements of the husband were so unsatisfactory that he produced a letter, to give them colour, said to be written by the wife, and con. veyed through the Post-office to the husband, in which site accounts for her feigned intention of secretly leaving home for America, This letter contained contradictory statements ; it had no post-mark a any post-office, and it was evidently a forgery. This circumstance impressed every mind with the conviction that Mary Wheelahan was murdered by her hus band ; he and some of his relations were consequently given into custody to the police till he had accounted for his wife. Upon search being made on Sunday evening, the body was fiund in the tillage field, about fifteen perches from the dwelling-house. On Monday an inquest was held by James Dill in. lag., coroner. and a respectab!e jury. After a long and minute examination of witnesses, in the presence of an immense multitude of the people, the doctors in attendanee giving their opinion that death was caused by strangulation, verdict of " Wilful murder " was given, to the satisfacion of the public, against the unnatural husband, who, with his aged father as an accomplice, has been committed to the county gaol.—Dublin Register. EXPERIMENIS IN TILE MARSHES OF WOOLWICH. Shortly after nine o'clock yesterday morning experiments were carried on in the Marshes, at Woolwich, before Colonel Cockburn and Lieutenant-Colonel Dansey, C. 8., members of the Select Committee, to test the qualities of metal tnbee, of one and a half inches and two inches in length, filled with a composition, some of them plugged, and others not plugged, to aseersin the number of seconds from the time they were fired, until the time of their explosion, which was regulated by a pendulum. Lieutenant-Colonel Dansey commanded the firing and noted the result. The range was 1,250 yards, one On for 32-pounders, and the other eight-inch shells. At two o'clock P. at., the practical class of Gentlemen Cadets attended in the Marshes, under Captain Wilford and Captain Robe, for the purpose of firing a heavy 24-pounder, and a heavy IS pounder, mounted on wheel carriages placed upon new plat forms, at a range of four hundred yards. The object at whioh they were to fire is a breastwork, constructed by the detachment of Royal Sappers and Mners attached to the first or practical class of Gentlemen Ca dets studying at the Royal Arsenal, and representing the gabrons of a fortification within which have beezi placed two old 12-pounder guns, mounted on ship carriages, which the Gentlemen Cadets will at tempt to destroy when firing. The interruption in the river being very great in the afternoon, as on former occasions, caused the postponement of this prac tice till to-morrow ( Tuesday.) Lieutenant-General Lord I loornfield, G.C.B. and G.C.H., Colonel Lacy, Lieutenant- Colonel Dundas, C.

' GROWTH OF SUGAR IN INDIA. (From the Bombay Times, April 6.) The capabilities of India, the fertility of the soil, the cheapness of food and labour, and the certainty that the best cotton, sugar, Vic., can be produced there, has long been admitted. Many -other articles of ex tensive consumption in Great Britain and foreign Eu rope have long been shipped from India ; and we are continuallyadding new staples to our imports from thence, such as tea from Assam, linseed, tallow, /cc. Of all East India produce, the article which most decidedly takes the lead in British and European markets, classed with the same article the produce of other countries, is indigo and is this to be attributed to mere chance ? No; for we find (with a very few exceptions), that it is only the indigo from factories under European management which may be classed as fine, whilst the quality of that under native mark is generally very inferior, and almost always falsely packed ; the best being placed at the top of the box, whilst the bulk is inferior and rubbishy. In the growth of sugar and cotton there are only solitary instances as yet of Europeans being concerned. Hitherto the principal consumers of sugar in India have been the Ilindoos themselves • it is impossible to say what is the consumption of 130 millions of people, all eating more or less, according to their means, from the raw cane of the poor to the refined sweetmeats of the rich. The quantity of sugar daily eaten by a Hindoo would sicken an Englishman, and rating the exports of Bengal at 60,000 tons, I should say it was a small amount in comparison with the con sumption of Indian grown sugar in India. But the high rates ruling in England have been such as to cause very high prices to rule in Calcutta, and, during the time when the bulk of the crop was coming upon the Calcutta market, in Juneto Septem ber, 1840, Company's rupees 11 to 15 per maund were the prices current for fine white Benares, which cost the native grower not more than 6 to 7 rupees per maund to lay down at Calcutta. These high rates induced a decrease of native con sumption ; for a greater portion of the year's crop was shipped to Calcutta than was ever known before. When prices rapidly fell in England, there was no corresponding effect in Calcutta, though prices did not give way, in consequence of less eagerness to purchase for export to Great Brittain ; but it afforded the Bom bay merchants an opportunity of buying, the native in land bazaars were better supplied ; and even those who were large holders in Calcutta clearly saw that the great accumulation of shipping (requiring sugar for return cargoes), with English crews, officers, and commanders, would take more injury in being ex posed to the heat of a tropical sun than their sugar would, stowed away in their godowns or warehouses ; and even in the face of discouraging advices from Great Britain, the prices which had fallen, in May, 1841, to as low as Company's rupees 11.8 per maund, advanced to 13 rupees, whilst freight declined from 6/. 10s. to 2/. per ton of 20 cwt. There are perhaps no where to be found cleverer salesmen or buyers than amongst the native dealers of Calcutta ; and though the grower could afford to sell fine white Benares sugar at Calcutta at from six rupees to seven rupees per maund, it is not likely he would do so as long as he could by any means obtain eleven to fifteen rupees for it. Merely because such rates have been ruling in Calcutta, it would be an unfair inference to suppose it cannot be produced for less : indeed, the following statement of the cost of growing sugar at Gazepore will entirely do away with any such idea : Rups. Ten ploughings, at four annas each 2 8 Watering once, at one rupeo per beegalls Three ploughings, at five annas each Fifteen bundles of cane for seed, at five bupdies per one rupee Cutting, cleaning, and sowing the above 0 6 Watering for two months, three times 3 0 Hoeing nine times, at three annas each time Nfanuring 0 $ Tieing the canes, in August... 0 5 Cutting the cane for manufacturing, including ' __ carrcarryingo 12. Rent Of land 5 8 Expressing the cane, and reducing it to ghoor (or boiled juice) ... 10 0 29 9 Ekpense of manufacturing the ghoor into sugar : Thirty maunds of fire-wood, at 25 rupees petloo.. maunds 7 8 Servants employed ~ ' 4 0 Sward grass, used for the purpose of claying, 1 0 Earthen pans 0 8 Hire for boiler 3 0 45 9 Produce : ' 7i maunds fine white Benares, at say 5 mines 46 8 3 ditto grey ditto ditto 3 ditto 3 ditto molasses. 4i ditto dirt, &c. But to be well within bounds, we will suppose fine white Benares sugar to cost the grower seven rupees, laid down at Calcutta, which, with freight at 41., and insurances 205., would stand in 255. 6d. per cwt., landed in bond in England ; but which at the rates ruling at Calcutta, from 11 to 15 rupees (ave rage 13 rupees), costs 41s. 6d bonded in England, with the same freight and insurance. The high prices which began to rule in Calcutta in 1840 had the effect of immediately brining a vastly increased quantity of land under sugar cultivation ; but the result of that increased cultivation will only appear in the Calcutta . market in 1842, and here in the fall of this year, asthe cuttings take one year in coming to maturity, and, as the prices which have been ruling there since May, 1840, up to the date of the latest advices received, have been such as to yield a profit to the native grower of from 25 to 100 per cent., the probability is that the culture of the sugar cane is still rapidly increas ing ; for it will continue to increase so long as the grower can make even a small profit by, it. Ihe cul ture of the sugar cane, and the manufacture of it in the native way, by which the finest white Benares sugar is now produced, requires very little capital. The poorest farmer, with the smallest portion of land, may grow and manufacture it, and secure to himself the profit of his labour ; whereas, in the production of silk and indigo, much capital is required, the profits being absorbed by the capitalist, whilst the many em ployed are oppressed. • The 'advantages which mark Bengal, and other parts of India, in growing sugar, are these—cheap la bour, and an almost inexhaustible supply of labourers; cheap food, and the means of producing that food on the spot, to almost any extent for which there may be a demand ; frugal habits and sobriety ; a climate in which the chief requisite for a dwelling is protection from the sun, and which is afforded at the cost of putting together branches and leaves - little or no clothing requisite, and that little of light and cheap fabrics. The disadvantages under which India labours in comparison with our colonies in the west are, that we are more distant from Europe, and that mecha nical and chemical skill have not been applied in the east so fully as in the west. The discriminating duties which artificially fos tered production in the west have been for some time done away with, and this the natives of India are just begimflng to find out and feel the effects of. The mechanical and chemical skill which has al ready been applied to the cultivation of sugar in Bengal is almost entirely confined to Calcutta; whereas many think that such establishments should he erected in the heart of the district in which the cane is grown, that such skill may be applied in the first boiling of the juice, under .less atmos pheric pressure, and consequently with less heat, that there may be an easier granula tion of the sugar, and less molasses. It is ap parent that, if the sugar manufacturing establish ments are erected at Calcutta, the expense would be very great of transmitting the canes (if at all practi cable) from such districts as Benares and Gazepore, 400 miles distant. The juice will not keep unless immediately boiled; this is done in earthen pots, and after this first process is called ghoor, and in this state will keep good for many months, and consequently may be kept in stock until such time as may be convenient for manufac turing it into sugar. The great benefit which will accrue to the mass of the people, by the continued:increase of the production of sugar in India, will be in selling the ghoor to the manufacturers or dealers, who purchase it through native agents in any quantity from one pot up wards, or that the profits arising from growing the cane may be realised by the poor as well as the wealthy ; and it is impossible now to foresee to what extent this benefit will be felt. In 1838-9, the ex ports were 30,000 tons ; in 1839-40, 63,000 tons ; in 1840-41. 56,000 tons; in 1841-42, will they not be 100,000? It is not merely that some portion of the immense population of India will by this means find employ ment, in-which the poorest may secure for themselves the full remuneration of their toil, but it is found expedient to introduce. mechanical and chemical skill, by the application of which a larger proportion of sugar maw be taken from an equal quantity of cane, j than by the present rude and imperfect native system. Such establishments do find employment at Cal cutta for many native artisans ; and will eventually find employment for them in many districts where the cane is grown, far remote from the presidency. Thus, in promoting the growth of sugar in India, much knowledge and scientific skill will spread over Ilindostan, not written in a foreign language, which the poor, helpless, ignorant Hindoo cannot un derstand ; or, if written in his own language, so ex pressed that he knows not how to apply them, but developed in practice before his eyes—not the falling and uncertain benevolence of the tender sentimen talist, but the profits arising from his own exertions being properly directed to some useful object, in the attainment of which the employed benefit as well as' the employers, the country, and the public at large. It is thus that commerce is the pioneer to civilisation and Christianity, or that motives to industry go hand in hand with these blessings. It has long been a• matter of surprise that India has not become a more extensive market for our manufactures. Is it that there is a small population ? —l3O millions. Is it that they prefer to go naked to being clothed ? Certainly not; for the higher classes are well clothed, and take much pride in a neat and clean appearance, and in the extent of their ward robes. Then, why is it that so large a population take so small a proportion of our manufactures ? The bulk of that population are nearly naked, simply because they cannot afford to purchase a covering for their bodies. In all countries it is necessary that the inhabitants should be fed ; but in India, where many do 'perish for the want of food, especially in times of famine, they will never, or very seldom, be much inconvenienced for the want of clothing. A more general and extensive consump tion of our manufactures must wait upon a more ge neral clothing of the Hindoo ; a more general cloth ing of the Ilindoos must wait upon their being in a position to afford it ; and how are they ever to be in a position to afford it until they can secure to them selves the full value of their own labour in producing more extensively some articles of general consumption both in India and throughout the world—such as sugar and cotton ? We want not the emigration of labour to India, but that of skill and capital to control and direct the natural acuteness of the Hindoos, Mussulmans, &c. A fixed land-tax, as in Bengal, should be instituted all over India, varying according to the capabilities and position of the land, which should be held, not merely on a short lease, but as long as the fixed an nual rent is annually paid. No one accustomed to travel in the interior of India can fail to observe the want of roads. Excepting the neighbourhood of the Presidencies such means of com munication are unknown. We cannot see any imme diate likelihood of their being instituted except by Government. The natives know not by experience the value of such communications ; and the residence of Europeans in India is too uncertain to induce them to sink capital there, in an undertaking requiring constant attention and superintendence. SALE OF THE ORIGINAL DRAW- INGS AND SCARCE PRINTS REMOVED FROM STRAWBERRY HILL. The sale of the above extensive and valuable collection of original drawings and scarce prints, gathered with so much in dustry and care by the renowned Horace Walpole, opened yes terday at Mr. George Robins's Rooms, Covent-garden. The catalogue contains nearly 1,400 lots, and offers a rich banquet to the artist, the antiquarian, and the historian. A great num ber of buyers were present, and Mr. George Robins being en gaged at Lichfield-house, the rostrum was filled by his nephew, Mr. E. Robins. The principal purchasers were Mr. Smith, of Lisle-street, Soho; Mr. Graves, of Pall-mall; Messrs. Tiffin, Evans, Co!- naghi, Pickering, Newton. Strong, and Rodd.

[A DVERTISEMENT.f IMPORTANT TO ALL THOSE WHO EXPECT TO DE -1 RIVE BENEFIT FROM DRINKING SODA WATER. — Schweppe's Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only throughout the United Kingdom, but throughout the civilised world, that any enconium on its merits might a; pear super fluous; but as since its original introduction, upwards of half a century since, many imitators have started up, with more or less claims to public patronage, J. S. and Co. take the liberty of reminding their friends and the public that the above Cele brated Water continues to be manufactured on the largest scale and upon the most scientific principles at their chief es tablishment, 511, Berners-street, London; and also at their three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby ; and that consumers may be supplied with the genuine article at most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, and Italian Warehouses in every province of the United Kingdom. The just reputation of their manufacture, and the consequent de mand for it, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, against which Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the public. The deception referred to is that of passing off a spurious article for " Schweppe's," by selling it in Schweppe's marked bottles. The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the ince ior water, although iti most cases the consumer is charged the same. By this artifice a common water is surreptitiously palmed on the public for the genuine—the reputation of the later is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its legitil ate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe and Co. have adopted the plan of placing a Red Label over the cork of each bottle, representing the Royal Appointment in the centre, and the name of their firm on each side, with out which none is genuine. Schweppe and Co. refer with pride to the fact that they constantly supply the Royal Palaces of London and Windsor, as well as the principal Nobility in the three kingdoms ; nor is the demand for their Soda Water less constant on the continent and in other parts of the world. Merchants and Shippers in general connected with the Ea , t and West Indies and our numerous Colonies are continually transmitting orders received from their respective agents and correspondents, and highly gratifying is the testimo n y Schweppe and Co. are in the habit of receiving from gentle men returned from abroad, of the luxury afforded them by their soda Water when met with in tropical climates, and of the high condition in which it is generally found. The Water ordered for foreign countries is manufactured with an express reference to its destination, and it is well known that no other can equally well endure the variations of climate. Schweppe's Lemonade is an elegant preparation of more recent intro duction, but from its refreshing and wholesome properties is rapidly getting into extensive reputation. It is an effervescing draught of most agreeable flavour, arid made of the best mate rials, without regard to cost. Physicians and medical men constantly recommend it in cases of fever, &c., nor is it less de sirable as an article of luxury. Every genuine bottle will have a yellow lable on its side, with the name and address of the firm. , Schweppe and Co. are the largest importers of the German Seltzer Water, which they receive direct from the springs, in quarts and pints, and which they offer to the public in the original packages. N.B.—Export orders for all climates executed on the shortest notice. _ _ The lion. Miss Hamilton, who has been appointed one cf . her Majesty's Maids of Honour in Waiting, vice the lion.
