MONEY MARKET ,k ND 'colvmsnaiAL INTELLIGENC E CITY, Two o'CLoca. The Liverpool Clotton Market yesterday closed tamely and firmly, at the extreme rates of Friday last. The sales were 8,000 bales, comprising 6,500 American (1,000 on speculation), 300 Pernam and Marauham, at 60. to 7d. ; 100 Bahia, at 61d.; 300 Egyptian, at 61-d. to Sid. ; 800 Surat, at W. to 51d ; and 60 Sea Islands, at is. to ls. 3d. per lb. The Railway Share Market opened quietly, but subsequently improved, and closed steadily at about Tuesday's rates. Accounts from France state that the season of 1855-1856 for manufacturing indigenous or beet root sugar has terminated ; and the result is shown in the tables published by the director-general of the department for collecting indirect taxes as fol lows :----From the Ist September, 1855, to the close of August, 1856, the quantity manufactured ' amounted to 92,000,000 kilogrammes. Tiiis ex ceeds the production of the preceding year by more than 47,000,000 kilos. If the quantity held at the commencement of the season be added, the total, in round numbers, would be 9 4,000,000 kilos. Of this quantity, 16,850,000 kilos. were sold at the manufactories, and 62,830,000 kilos. at the entrepots. List year the deliveries were respectively 15,950,000 and 42,680,000 ditto. At the close of the month of August there remained on hand at the manufacto ries, in sugar and material in progress of manufac ture, representing 4,100,000 kilos.,, while at the corresponding date in 1855 this was only 2,720,000. The total remaining in the entrepots amounts to 7,470,000 kilos. this year, and 7,095,000 kilos. last year. A telegraph message from Marseilles, of the 30th September, announces a further rise in wheat of if. 500. to if. 55c. per 160 litres, notwithstandin g the enormous arrivals of grain at that port. This rise has been caused by the difficulty of replenish ing the stocks on hand, and the continued fals e reports from the sea of Azoff. The applicants for discount accommodation at the Bank of England were taken greatly by surprise, when it was rumoured that the directors, without waiting for their usual Thursday meeting, when such measures, with one or two exceptions, hap hitherto been adopted, had raised the minimum, to 5 per cent. As the quotation out of doors was fully up to that point, of course there was a tre mendous pressure at the national establishment, at the official rate of 4 r per cent. Consequently, an immense sum was drawn from the bank, and, in self defence, the directors were obliged to adopt the exceptional measure referred to. So unex pected, however, was the resolution, that until a late hour many persons were quite ignorant of it, as, of course, no one would think of making any inquiry on the subject on a Wednesday. It is evi dent an advance ought to have been made last Thursday, when every one expected it. The di rectors have certainly been too cautious, otherwise they would not have adopted such an extra ordinary proceeding. There was an expectation, in some quarters, that a further advance would be made to-day, but the directors have separated without making any fresh alteration. As the demand for money still continues very brisk, partially owing to the preparations for the " 4th " of the month, when a heavy amount of bills become due, there is a confident expectation that a further advance will take place next week in the official quotation at the Bank of England. The accounts from the Paris Bourse continue unfavour able, and increased stringency in the Money Mar ket is anticipated. The allowance for money "on call" is increased to 4 per cent. In consequence of the fall yesterday in the Routes at Paris, and the active inquiry for money, the Funds opened heavily, Consols being about 921 ; but they soon tended upwards, and when it became known that no further change had taken place in the rate of discount the quotations advanced to 921 g , both for money and the Bth inst. They have since, however, been 928 I, and now rule at 92k, 93/. The rate of "continuation" to Novem ber is about # per cent. Exchequer Bills are de pressed at about 7s. to Ms. premium ; and Eist India Bonds are 10s. to 14s. premium. In Foreign Securities a moderate business has been done, but the quotations are very variable. Turkish 6 per Cents. have ranged from 982 to 99a for account, and the 4 per Cents. are 100 k a. Por tuguese 4 per Cents. have been 442 ; Mexican, 22 ; Brazilian New 41 per Cents., 9711 ; and Dutch 4 per Cents., 951. There has been a bar gain in Belgian 4 per Cents, at 97. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stook s Grenada Deferred Bouds, 61 to 7f ; Mexican, 22 to 221 ; Peruvian, 76 to 78 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 55 to 57 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 43 to 45 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 106 to 108 ; ditto 41 per Cents., 95 to 97 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 421 422 ; ditto Deferred, 24 24i ; ditto Certificates, 51 ; ditto Passive, 61 2.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) IN RE GREGORY. A BAKER'S FAILURE THROUGH THE DAD PRICE OF BREAD. This bankrupt was described as of Whitechapel and Back Church-lane, Commercial-road East, baker, and to-day came up for his certificate. Mr. Chidley supported. Mr. Joyce appeared as counsel for Messrs. Ponsford, and examined the bankrupt at great length as to a large quantity of flour which he had obtained from them shortly before his bankruptcy. He said that on Mr. Ward, Messrs. Pensford's traveller, calling, be told him trade was so dull and prioes bad that he should be ob liged to give up one of his shops, but Mr. Ward advised him not to do so, as prices would be better soon. He (bankrupt) therefore did not consider that he had in any way misled Mr. Ward as to his circumstances. He bad also had some flour of a Mr. Tramper. He had the last flour on the 11th, and he called his creditors together on the 23d. He had formerly had some share transactions, but that was 3 or 4years ago. He had removed a portion of the flour, but it had not been done clandestinely. Mr. Chidley examined the bankrupt, who said that he was in good circumstances when he had the shares. He bad given over 9001. for the leases of his houses. His losses had arisen through the badness of the trade and the competition; he bad therefore been some time selling at a loss. He had applied to Mr. Ward to find a cus tomer for one of his houses. Mr. Chidley submitted that the bankrupt had not committed any offence under the 156th section of the act, and that his losses had arisen through the falling off of buaiaess, particularly in the fancy trade, which was more profitable, but had fallen off through the high price of provisions during the last three or four years. His Honour did not consider any specific offence had been made out, but the bankrupt had continued trad ing when he must have known he was trading at a loss and was insolvent. The certificate must therefore be suspended for 12 months from the 19th of June, and then be of the second class. Protection was granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day. MANSION-HOUSE. R. Logan, an Irishman, was placed at the bar before the Lord Mayor, charged under the following circum stances : The prisoner it appeared had obtained a quantity of goods by false pretences from various persons at Monaghan, in Ireland, with which he decamped. A telegraphic message containing his description was for warded to the police, and in consequence the prisoner was apprehended on Monday by Russell, the detective. On his person was found 318/., supposed to be a portion of the proceeds of the goods he had fraudulently ob tained. Intelligence was immediately forwarded to Ire land of his arrest. A police officer from Belfast appeared this morning in Court with a warrant for the prisoner's apprehension, and he was accordingly handed over to him to be con veyed back to Ireland. ATTEMPTED SIIIOIDE.—Emma Jonec, a respectably dressed woman, about 35 years of age, was charged with attempting to commit suicide. It appeared from the evidence that the defendant was found, on the night of the 17th ult., lying insensible 'ea the pavement near Heneage-Jane, Houbdeditch. A young man who was passing at the time pinked up a phial bottle near her which had contained laudanum. She was afterwards taken to the London Hospital, where she had been ever since, suffering from the effect, of the laudanum she had taken. The policeman said the defendant had informed him she had no friends to apply to, and that she had been deserted by her husband. On promising not to again attempt to destroy hersel she was discharged. GUILDHALL. Two magsmen, who gave their names John Rooney, 14, York-court, York-street, Westminster, hawker, and John Taylor, 14, Ludley-street, Bewdley, Yorkshire, carpet weaver, were placed at the bar before Sir H. Muggeridge, on remand, charged with being drunk and disorderly. It appeared from the evidence given on the former hearing that on the evening of the 29th ult. the pri soners were at the Bell public-house, Old-bailey, drink ing and making bets with persons as to who could write the best hand. They ultimately quarrelled, and the pri soners were put out of the house, and in the scuffle Rooney kicked a young man named Sell, a draper's as sistant, who was staying at the house. Police -constable 280 stated that since the former exa mination he had ascertained that the prisoners had given false addresses. Rooney, he found, was a French polisher, and resided at 14, Blue Anchor-yard, York street, Westminster, and that Taylor's proper name was Ramsbothatn, residing at 11, King-street, Drury-lane, where he bad resided about two years. He was well known to the police of that division. Taylor—l was never in custody before in my life. Policeman—Ho is known to the police of Bow•street as a smasher and a do; stealer. Taylor—l never did anything wrong in my life. lluggett (a detective) said that on the night in ques tion he was in the Bell when the prisoner first came in. Rooney went up to the landlady and asked her if Mr. Mendoza, tobacconist, of Newgate-street, had been there. She replied she knew no such person, and on that he shuffled up against witness and asked him if he knew the game of "Mendozs." Witness replied no. Prisoner said it was a nice game, and if he would get a piece of chalk he (prisoner) would show it him. After that witness desired there to leave, not liking their ap pearance, and not wishing to know anything of them. Taylor—Do you know anything of me I Witness—NO. Taylor said he was Sayers, the fight ing man of Birmingham, and that the other prisoner was Sorrell, the running man. Some further conversation took place between them, the prisoner wishing to bet with him on Sorrell against Reed, from 5/. to 500/. He declined, and gave him a glass of porter and got rid of them. Taylor—Did you not give me a cigar ? Witness—No. Taylor—Do you deny it? Witness—Yes. Taylor—Then you will deny anything. Sir H. Muggeridge fined Rooney 20s. or 20 days' im prisonment for the assault, and both prisoners 10s. each or 10 days' imprisonment for being drunk and dis orderly. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PARING AND EXTENSIVE BURGLARY.— CharIes Harris, 21, labourer, 16, Brick-lane, Shoreditch, and Robert Billings, 28, army pouch maker, Bedfordbury, were brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with burglari ously breaking and entering the dwelling -house of Samuel Brown, 43, Frith-street, Soho, and stealing therefrom 104 handkerchiefs, 30 shawls, 8 coats, 9 waist coats, and other articles, of the value of 401., his pro perty. Elliott 43 C deposed that about a quarter to four this morning he was standing at the corner of Church street and Frith-street, when he saw the prisoners come out of the private door of 43, Frith-street, and look round, and directly they saw him they ran away towards Soho-square. He followed them into Queen-street, where he sprung his rattle, and called out " stop thief." He pursued Billings into Greek-str ee t, an d took him into custody, and conveyed him to the station-house, where he wassearched but nothing was found upon him. Witness then went to No. 43, Frith-street, and on ex amining the premises found an entry had been effected by some one who had forced open the area grating, and after descending into the area broke open the kitchen window, and thus nude their way into the house. A; SOUTHWARK. THIEVES AND RESEIVERS—EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF OATS.—Henry Ivory, horsekeeper to Mr. Neale, coal ercban t, Old Jamaica-wharf, Upper Ground-street, Blackfriars-road, James Befey, carman in the employ of Messrs. Davis and Norman, cement merchants, Scotland yard, and Edward Intham, labourer, were brought up for final examination charged with stealing 15 bushels of oats, the property of Mr. Neal, an] Samuel Barking, a general dealer, of No. 33, Pitt's place, Guildford-street, was charged with receiving the same, well knowing it to be stolen. Mr. Neale, the solicitor, defended the prisoners. Sergeant Hewlett, 29 M, an active detective officer, stated that about six o'clock on the morning of the 13th ult. he was in Guildford-street, Southwark, in company with Coleman and West, two constables, when they saw the prisoner Roffey driving a van with two horses heavily laden, and covered with a tarpaulin. He stopped at the corner of Moss Alley, when Witham came up and the tarpaulin was partially removed. They then crossed over to a public house, and in a few minutes came out with Barking, when they unfastened the tail-board, and a sack of corn was taken from the van, and put on Witham's back, which he carried up Pitt's-place. Roffey then put another sack on Bark ing's back, and he followed Witham. Roffey took another sack and carried it in the same direction. Witness then crossed over, and on proceeding up the court met Witham coming from Barking's shop towards the van, when he stopped him and gave him into the custody of West. Witness then saw Roffey coming out of Barking's coal shed, when he asked him what he had done with the three sacks of corn he had taken out of his van. Reffey seemed surprised at first, but he entered the coal shed with him, and pointed out the three sacks of corn standing in a corner. Witness asked him who his employers were ? He replied, Messrs. Davis and Norman, cement merchants, Bank side. They kept their horses and vans at Mr. Neal's, but they knew nothing of the corn. Witness then cau tioned him that what he said might be used against him, when he said Ivory put the corn in his van at Mr. Neal's and asked him to carry it to Barking's, and that's all he knew about it. The other prisoners were then secured, when Barking said he had paid nothing for the corn, neither did he know anything about it. After they were locked up witness went to the prosecutors, when Ivory was given into custody. Roffey afterwards Paid that he had carried several sacks of corn on previ ous occasions to Barking's for Ivory. The latter, how ever, denied that assertion. Mr. Neal identified the sacks snd corn as his pro perty. Ivory was his horsekeeper, and had charge of the corn to give to the horses, but he had no authority to dispose of any or send it off the premises. Witness had been robbed to a serious extent since Ivory had been in his employ. Hewlett informed his worship that Barking stood committed for receiving stolen brass, and was out on bail when he was found in possession of the corn. He had also on his premises a large quantity of other stolen property. Roffey was discharged, and the other prisoners were committed for trial. MARKET NEWS.—(lbts ray.) CORN EXCHANGE.

THE LATE COLLISION BETWEEN THE MAIL AND EXCEL SIOIt STEAMERS.—In reference to the late collision be• tween the above-mentioned steamers, a very lengthened report, by Mr. Mansfield and Captain Scbomberg, has jost been made to the Board of Trade. The substance of this report is embodied in the following concluding paragraph :—"ln conclusion, we have the honour to report, for the information of the Board of Trade, that the collision of the Mail with the Excelsior is to be attri buted to the neglect of the pilot of the latter, first, to keep to starbo ar d o f th e m id- c h anne l o f th e Mersey ; and, secondly, his neglect to port his he'm when he saw the mast-head light of the Mail ; that the effect of the collision might have been less serious if the Mail bad taken the precaution which she should have done to reduce her speed on entering the Mersey; and that the collision would not have taken place-if the lights of the Mail had, according to the regulations of the Admiralty notice, been placed in such a position as to be all three visible when she was end on to the Excelsior.", 80i 80 114 64i i IN 4i 6 6 101 A 21 li 103 i i 2 1 i 0 1 al 1 al 1 al 10 281 1 1 1 31 i 1 i Do, jlo6i I THE COUNTESS DANNER. COPENHAGEN, Sept. 28.—The mystery hitherto en• veloping the cause of the ministerial crisis is by degree dissipating, ant the reasons are becoming gradually apparent. Your readers will remember the fact corn inunica`ed some time time ago, that the Countess Danner had seen frustrated in her greatest wish and ambition to be raised to the dignity of Duchess of Wagrien, but had succeeded in her endeavour s to obtaiu a sort of official recognition of her position, and has to thank her friend and protege, Herr von Scheeto, for tb€ insertion of her name in the official "Staats-Calendar' immediately after that of the King, and figures there as " consort of the King by a morganatic marriage, a n d countess of the kingdom in her own right." But Herr von Scheele wanted to go a step further, and proposed to grant the countess an appanage for life from the revenues of the state. Against this the rest of the ministers, however, set their faces, and the mea sure was most vigorously opposed by Col. Andrae, the minister of finance, whose duty it would have been to submit it to the General Diet of the kingdom, where he knew it would never be sanctioned. The question was, therefore, left for some time in abeyance, but latterly taken up again with more energy than ever. Still it met the same opposition in the cabinet, and led to several animated discussions amongst the ministers. As Herr von Scheele insisted on the measure being adopted, Colonel Andrae preferred tendering his resig nation to the continuation of a discussion and offering further opposition to a subject to which he had made up his mind never to give his consent. It is well known that the Countess Danner and Herr von Scheele afford each other mutual support ; she to him through her influence with the King, and he to hir in the council of ministers. Great expectations are therefore entertained that Herr von Scheele will be com missioned by the King to reconstruct the cabinet and place himself at the head of the new administration. THE LONDON JOINT-STOCK BANKS. (From the Glasgow Mercantile Advertiser. The London joint stock banks, which are compara tively of recent origin, are now entrusted with enormous sums of money by depositors. They would certainly require to be well managed, for we paceive that the paid up capital of these concerns bears but a small pro portion to the available capital placed at the disposal of the directors. To confine ourselves to the five establishments of longest standing, which appear to have gained the confi dence of the trading community in the metropolis—and we trust deservedly so—it will be seen from the authorised statements we formerly published, that the aggregate amount of deposits in these five banks has reached the enormous sum of 36.000,0001., whilst the paid up capi tal amounts to 2,594,2751. These banks would require as we have already said, to be well managed—they are enabled by the comparatively small amount of paid-up capital to pay their shareholders dividends of 16, 174, and 22i per cent. It appears to us that, as they are now entrusted with so much money belonging to other people, they ought, one and all of them, to increase the paid-up capital to double the present amount, and thus increase the security of the public and be content with a smaller per tentage on the capital invested. In some in stances the paid-up capital ought to be quadrupled. There are in ail eight joint-stock banks in London, and we say nothing of the three which are of more re cent origin, commencing with the Royal Brit e, whose directors and other officials helped themselves to the entire paid-up capital, except that portion invested in buildings and furniture. _ _ Of the five banks referred to, it appears that the paid-up capital of some of them amounts only to 6or 7 per cent. of the sums deposited with them. In our ()Onion, this is by far too small a capital to trade with upon so vast a scale. A question very natu occurs here, and we can suppose a case. For example, if one of these banking-houses were to lose in a bad year 6 or 8 per cent. of their available ca.oital inclusive of deposits, what would become of the bank ? If these companies would take a leaf, or rather two leaves out of our Scottish system, they would place themselves upon a much sounder basis. The joint-stock banks on this aide the Tweed have, in the first place, double or treble the amount of paid-up capital in pro. portion to their deposits (and some of them a great deal more) ; and, in the second place, the per centage of the dividend to shareholders is not one half of that paid by the London joint stock banks. We well remember that one of the Scotch joint-stock banks, some years ago, lost nearly a quarter of a million sterling—the money was not stolen or taken by directors and officials—but although the shares of that bank fell in their market value, the credit of the estab lishment, with a million of paid-up capital, was not shaken in the slightest degree. But we may he permitted to ask if a similar loss were now to oc cur in the case of one or other of the London joint stock-banks, what would be the consequences ? We could scarcely anticipate anything short of a severe run upon such bank, which might lead to wide-Tread ruin. It appears to us that none of these joint-stock concerns, intrusted with deposits to the extent of five, eight, or ten millions, ought to feel satisfied with a smaller amount than one million of paid-up capital. This, we say, is the minimum sum with which they ought to be satisfied, both for their own sakes and for the sake of depositors. We would go a step further ; it is our opinion that such banks as have from nine to twelve millions of other people's money to trade upon, would be (as well to have somewhere about two mildons of their own paid up. The sooner these companies take step, in the direction we have indicated, the better will it be for themselves, if they desire to stand well in the estimation of the public. Would not a great num ber of the depositors gladly avail themselves of an offer from the directors, were it made to them, to convert a certain proportion of their deposits into shares—we throw out this suggestion to our English frUnds. But it matters not how the requisite amount of capital is raised, provided a sufficient amount is paid in, and re• mains there as capital stock of the company. WHALING ON ULVERSTOZNI SANDS. On Saturday morning last while one of the fishermen of Mr. H. W. Askew was visiting his nets in More cambe Bay, opposite the Coniston Priory, be had his attenticn attracted by the appearance of an unusual enor mous substance possessing animal life floundering in a sand hole, where it bad been left by the recent tide, and promising a god-send of some sort or other. Advancing upon the waif he found this monster of the deep to be nothing less than a whale —a small one, certainly, but still veritably a whale. H ow to secure his prize was the first consideration, and the man with a strong oaken net stake commenced battering the creature upon the head to kill it, but, as might be expected, without effect. Having a strong line in his possession, about the thick ness of a cart rope, he rove it round the animal's tail, drove his stake into the sand to a considerable depth, and tethered the creature to it, hopir•g, when the tide rose, he should find all safe and have no difficulty in towing it in his boat to land. In this, however, he was mistaken, for whale no sooner found itself fairly afloat again than it " up anchor" and away, taking altogether with it. Af6er this there was a most exciting hunt and endeavour to capture by a reinforcement of three more persons—Tweedel, the guide over the sands ; White, the landlord of the New Inn ; and a man named Gracie ; and the chase was finally run into at Hammerside-hill, in a pool almost dry. In the midst of the onslaught the animal jumped from the sand on the beach, as if it were amphibious, in its en deavours to escape. Then came the final struggle—boat hooks and other weapons likely to despatch it were de sperately wielded for a long time, without the desired and deadly effect. As a whale-killing in Morecambe was not an everyday occurrence, the circumstance, as may be imagiaed, was one of great attraction, and crowds has tened to the spot to view the prize. On Monday last it was taken to Ulverston and exhibited in a barn at the Gill, at the admix ion price of 31., and to continue as long as the carcase did not become offensive, when it would be boiled down for the oil. Those at all conver sant on the subject of cetaceous animals, from its size —lf feet in length, and 9 feet in girth —pronounced it to be either belonging to the species pyhseter, described by Hunter and Pennant under the name of bottle-nose or beaked whale, or a young one of the physsi as , or fin fish description, both of those being destiaguished from the common whale by a fin on the back, placed very low and near the tail. 111 r. Beardsley, of Ulverston, surgeon, however—no mean authority on • uch [natters— identified it as belonging so the genus balmnoptera, and called the rorqual, which differed from the Greenland whale and its allies by having a dorsal fin situated a short way above the tail, and a series of longitudinal folds and wrinkles on the skin on the under surface of the throat and chest. The folds are supposed to be capable of dilation, but their use is not determined. Of the rorquals only two or three species are known. The plates of baleen situated in the upper jaw are short and of inferior quality, and the blubber they yield is always in smaller quantity; from this, as well as from their great ferocity, they are generally avoided and seldom chased by the crews of whaling vessels. The great ror qual often exceeds 100 feet in length, and is a native of the Polar Seas, where it is seen both in troops and in pairs. The rorqual is more restless, snore suspicious, and fiercer than the common whale.—Lancaster Guar dian.

IRELAND.. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORItING. LORD CARLISLE IN TIP PERARI tr. Lord Carlisle, on his return to Dublin from Lis core Castle, passed through the z own of Tip perary, upon which occasion his Excellency was presented with an address from the• inhabitants by a deputation composed of the Liost influential gentry in the town and neighbourhood. The fol lowing is an extract : " It will not be unacceptable to your Excellency to learn that in the heart of this great county (Tipperary), where much poverty and misery, with considerable agra rian outrage, once prevailed, Provide:ace has now blessed us with comparative plenty, order is established, and crime of very rare occurrence. sNeither have our town and district been behindhand in• the renown which this island has obtained for the part borne by her sons in the recent war. We have sent from among us men whose names are not undistinguished in the roll of illustrious Irish soldiers of the Crimea. And when called upon also for a force of a more defensive nature, we furnished a corps in the militia regiment of the south riding of the county, largely recruited from this neighbourhood, and which, coming ender your Excellency's immediate notice in Dublin, we venture to hope to met with ycur Excellency's approval, both as regards their conduct, discipline, and military Appearance. Should war become again unhappily neces sary, we are ready to contribute to its requirements, and send forth our sons to its dangers. But we pray that the Almighty may grant lasting peace, so that commerce and industry may be fostered, the wealth of our fertile fields increased, and our social progress and internal order so marked under a benefic en t G overnment, suc h as your Excellency's, as to entitle us to equa l l a , vs an d privileges with every other portion of th e U n it e d King dom. We beg further to apprise your E xce ll ency t h a t all classes and creeds in this locality are happily united and live amicably together, sectarian differences being unknown among us. In conciusion, we wish your Excellency a long and happy life, and prosperous jou• ney to the seat of Government?' His Excellency replied as follows : " Gentlemen—l beg to thank the inhabitants of the old town of Tipperary for the warmth and cordiality which they have managed to impart to their wayside welcome. It rejoices me unfeignedly to hear from your own lips, as I had been able to collect from other sources of information, that this important county, which has occasionally obtained an unhappy prominence in the an nals of outrage, now affords a signal spectacle of orderly conduct, peaceful industry, and neighbourly concord, and that the en.rgies too often of old developed in the wild sallies of guilty daring, have been employed as of late, either to guard the repose of our own borders or to man the front of foreign battle. I trust that a higher privilege awaits them still, and as the men of Tipperary have reapel so distinguished a portion of the glories of war, they may show themselves able to appreciate and qualified to improve the blessings of peace." THE DEFENCES. Active preparations have been for some time in progress for the extension on a large scale of the barracks in ship street, in close proximity to the Castle of Dublin. At present these buildings barely afford accommodation to the head-quarters of a regiment of infantry, and are hemmed in on two sides by the old houses in Stephen-street, and by the more modern ones in South Great George's-street. Those in the former locality are already in process of demolition, and it is said that the Government are in treaty for the pur chase of the latter, but as there are several large mercantile establishments to be dealt with (including the monster house of the Messrs. Pim), a long time may elapse before the whole of the con templated arrangements can be carried into effect. It is believed that the barracks, whenever com pleted, will be occupied by the greater portion of the Artillery force forming part of the garrison of Dublin. The Duke of Cambridge, while in Ireland, is reported to have been the originator of this pro• ject, which, if carried out according to his Royal Highness's conception, would not only be a vast improvement to the city in an architectural point of view, but would calm the apprehensions of such as may look with alarmed eyes upon the present undoubtedly defenceless state of her Majesty's Castle of Dublin, and the seat of the Irish Govern ment. MURDER IN TIPPERARY. The Tipperary Free Press of yesterday cont.,'%ins the subjoined account of a murder committed. at the District Lunatic Asylum in Clonmel "Oo Saturday night, the 27th instant, four ruffians crossed the Asylum wall for the purpose of plunder. The watchdog gave the alarm and the watchman immediately challenged them ; they set upon him, and after a gal lant defence on his part, in which he desperately wounded one e.f the party, they succeeded in overpowering him ; they beat him in a frightful manner, fracturing his skull and vvounoing him in several places. The wounds in flicted some of the scoundrels by the brave defence of Ryan, the watchman, led to the apprehension of the entire gang by Constable Goulden, of the Irishtown p.)1.c0. We regret to say that the unfortunate victim of the above-recounted outrage, after lingering in great agony, died last evening of the wounds he received. An inquest was held on his body this afternoon, when, several witnesses having been examined, Dr. Sheil de posed that death was consequent on the severe cuts and fractures of the skull inflicted on the deceased. The coroner adiresNed the jury at considerable length, who recorded a verdict of • Wilful murder against some per son or persons unknown.' Constable Goulden, imme diately on receiving information of the above outrage, wa', without delay, on the track of the miscreants, and succeeded in capturing six persons, na me d James Con way, Da n i e l Lynch, Michael Shea, Michael Hughes, Catherine Hughes, and John Sullivan, in the lodging house of Daniel Murphy, Irishtown. They were brought before G. J. Goold, R.M., who committed them for examination." REMARKABI.E DISCOVERY OF BRIGANDS. ROME, Sept. 20.—A regularly organised confraternity of depredators has just been discovered in Velletri, a. large tow n e i g ht an d twenty miles from Rome, on the high road to Naples, and situated between the forest of Fajola and the Pontine marshes, both traditional strongholds of brigands. It is to the sagacity and deter mination of the delegate of Velletri, an active young prelate belonging to a noble family of Ferrara, that the arrest of this gang of robbers is owing, although the preliminary circumstance which brought their existence to light was purely incidental. One of the band was summoned ten days ago to appear be fore the delegate to answer a charge brought against him for stealing some water melons, but seeing another member of the band in court, and being misled by some ambiguous expressions of the delegate, he ima gined that he was about to hear som e more serious accu sation, and that evidence had already been given against him by his associate. In his fright, therefore, he at once offered to turn king's evidence, if we may use such an expression in the Pope's dominions, and re veal the whole proceedings of the association—a pro position which, it may be easily imagined, was not discouraged by the delegate. His own bargain for safety being made, the bandit proceeded to reveal the names and residences of the component members of the society, many of whom were actually tradesmen resid ing in the town, and to confess th e p r i nc i pa l depreda tions com m itt e d by the band, under the direction of their regularly organised officers, comprising the administra tive employe s o f cas hi er and secretary, for the due divi sien and registry of the spoil. Tnis gang proved to have been the plunderers of Signor Mammuccherea [lowa) at Velletri, whence they abstracted twelve thou sand dollars about six months ago ; and the confessing culprit, as a proof of his veracity, informed the delegate exactly where his share of the booty, amounting to a thousand scudi, was to be found, together with five hundred more of his own private earnings. He also confessed that several homicides had been committed by his associates, and acknowledged that he had himself murdered one of the band a short time befare, because being dissatisfied at receiving only six hundred dol lars, instead of a thousand, which he considered to be his lawful share of the prey, the defunct had let fall some threats leading to a supposition that he 'night possibly denounce his companions. The body of the murdered man, a carter by trade, was found buried where the confessing assassin l c i l d , speeilit , .d, with a gunshot wound through the back of his heal. Armed with these proofs, the ou.dele gate had the rest of the•band, at least all he cou l d find, amounting to about a dozen, in the town of a:nied very Velle tri, arrested forthwith, and subjected them °Y ag d e the rigorous examination ; but as the e y re o s b ig st h i t e . obstinately the any participation of the crimes laid to their un the first few had prelate, feeling sure of his facts, theirordered to be refreshed by a powerful administrationd e rw eo under he went memories thatb as . not strictly legal, tinado, an argument which, although theywa s found inad e ampleso striking confessions, hy those o a s n e d who after Itarhaid4...tot in circala,tion ewcommunicative cud gelbeen subjected make h i t s ", regime remainderg i m e f ar t s he w p er lu e n f d o e u r nd i 7 4 -init e' h . e A r l o a b m b n e i r u s c ' hiding pla S c i e x s, tl i, o e u in s g an i d )a d rt ol o l strong box, on acceunt of its being en . : l 7tY';' large gold pieces, hoarded up by the rich m an, . u therefore likely to bring suspicion upon them. the result, o f • which they were Fully satisfied with . .t its examination, and the magic 6froct of ei rit h ) tt th ""' which proved quite a divining rod in disco"►.g: e lost treasure, the delegate prisoners thrust into gaol, to await their trial by the regular criminal tribun a l .
