We un derstand that all the places wh:ch can be reserved are already taken for to-night. THE CAPE OF cituuD HOPb. (P iont the Cork Daily Reporter of Bed. 'll4 As we anticipated the attendance at the first of the concerts last evening was, in the fullest meaning.of the eeeressive, but not over-refined phrase, a complete "cram," Long before the hour announced for opening the doors had arrived crowds of citizens had collected in the vieinity of the Athemeum, and many a private car riage and hired jarvey, filled with reserved-seat gentry, might be seen patiently standing in Nelson-place until the hour had come. And when the doors were thrown open the rush and crush were immense, and were parti• cipated in by the representatives of both sexes with an astonishing amount of vigour and perseverance. The weather, fortunately, had lost that severity which cha racterised it for the past week, and beyond some slight injury to the perfect rotundity of crinolines, and the nn. merciful crushing and derangement of apparel, we are not aware that any disagreeable inconvenience resulted from the great struggle at the doors last evening for ad. mittance to the Atheumum. We do not remember to have witnessed on any previous occasion such an amount of enthusiasm—such furore, as was exhibited last night to nee and hear our incomparalll Prima Donna. The Cork public, ever most sensitively alive to the attrac t'ons of music, either vocal or instrumental, when pro porly rendered, appeared last evening to have ascribed no bounds to their enthusiasm—so great was their anxitty to be present, so determined not to be outdone in (their exertions to obtain a good situation to hear every note, and so perfectly silent, anxiously, almost painfully alive to catch every syllable that tell from the national cantatrice. The scene presented in the hall was maemificently grand and imposing to the extreme. Every portion of the immense building, not alone the spacious hall, the commodious rotundo, and the galleries, but every nook and niche, every, in fact, " hole and corner," the very orchestra itself was crowded with the fashion, and respectability, the intelligence, rot only of Cork, but ,f many portions of the county, special trains and con• veyances having been provided, to gratify the universal desire of the community to "hear Catherine Hayes." To hear—to see 7a daughter of our own sea-girt isle, who, dur:ng the past six years, has flung the enchanting girdle , f her sang a. 4 it were, round the globe—a perfect pioneer of the Fine Arts, who conceived and made the bold and adventurous experiment of, quitting the haunts of civilisa t: on, penetrating the retnote4 regi-ns of the earth, and carrying, with her—aye, even to the gold regions of Cali iorti a and the newly-horn cities of Australia the refill ing, the civilising, and the fascinating charms of mod e _ expressed by her with that passionate emotion and vivid brilliancy, which Liave ever enabled Miss Catherine Hayes to PLYMOTITIT, DEC. 14. The hired screw steam transport Cleopatra, ,Oartain Paton arrived last evening. Her dates are—Cape of Good ilope, Oct. 19 ; St. Iffslena, Oct. 29; Ascension, Nov. 4 ; St. Vincent, Nov. 27 ; and Madeira, Dec.t• 5. She left Dublin on the Ist of August with troops, who were landed in surf-boats at the mouth of the 'Buffalo River, and has returned with naval stores. On the 12th of October she conveyed the Governor, Sir George Grey, from East London to Cape Town. The arrival of troops had quieted all apprehensions of disturbances on the frontier, and the colony was in a vary tranquil state.l The Cleopatra bad a fine passage until she arrived about 100 miles north-west of Cape Finisterre, where, on Tuesday last, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, she fell in with the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship Azoff, with ensign down, apparently in a sinking state. The lifeboat was immediately over the side, but the sea was too heavy to launch her, and while the Cleopatra was lying to with steam off the A.zsff ported her helm and carried away her bowsprit, which struck the Cleo patra'se quarter. No help could be rendered on Wed nesday, but on Thursday night a marine named Bank'', having twice volunteered, was followed by two other marines, Pine and Taylsr, Bombardier Harding, R.A., James Morehouse, seaman passenger, and T. Riley, ship's steward who were put on board in the chip's boat. The Azoff had lost her wheel, the engines were disabled, and was quite unmanageable. Hawsers from the Cleopatra were broken twice on Wednesday by the tremendous sea which was running. The military officers on board de scribe Capt. Paton's conduct to have been most noble ; he kept by the distressed ship at great risk, and conti nued watching her day and night. The last time she was seen with certainty was on Friday evening at 6 o'clock, but the next morning tho second mate supposed that he descried , -her well ahead, steering north-east by east, and, the wind having become, favourable, she has prObably gone to Southampton.

Sey mour, C. 8., struck the flag of the Commander-in-chief (Vice-Admiral Sir G. Seymour, &a.) on Satur day morning, the admiral having gone to attend his brother's funeral. Her Majesty's ship Excellent conse quently hoisted a commodore's broad pendant for Sir T. Maitland, C. 8., who, being the senior officer of the fleet in the port, will be Acting Commander-in-Chief until the return of one er other of the admirals. Her Majesty's 'paddlewheel steam frigate Firebrand arrived at Woolwich dockyard on Saturday from Sheer ness, to have the defects in her machinery and boilers made good and to undergo other necessary repairs. Her Majesty's 50-gua ship Coaquestador was on Sa turday ordered to Woolwich from Sheerness, to be rigged for service. The freight ship Northumberland sailed on Saturday from Gravesend, laden with Government stores and a full magazine of ammunition and powder frOm Wool wich Areeual, for the Cape of Good Hope. She em harked thence 12 non-commissioned officers of the 10th Hussars from Dublin. The freight ship Lady Valiant has gone down to Woolwich from the docks, for the purpose of shipping pow. 4 er and ammunition. The new steam yacht named the Eniperori which ar rived at Wodwich on the 29th ult., is to be fitted with a screw, and is otherwise in a forward state. When com pleted she is to be sent Under the charge of one of the firm `of Messrs. H. and C. Green, the builders, to be presented to the Emperor of Japan from the British Government. In the naval estimates it appears that the sum of 10,000/. has been voted for the expenses of the yacht, it is computed that this amount will be inadequate to cover the total expenses. The following appointments were made at the Admi ralty on Saturday : Capt tin F. Warden to be Naval officer in charge of naval arid victualling ciAablishinents and stores at Gib raltar ; Lieut C. R.

Ire:antes aistie , pelis has welcomed her on her return— n her werl sere triumphs—and Cork moot becniningiy gave the Daughter of Erin, last eig'.t, such a recsptien to only ti:e Seutherns con accord—hearty, sincere, aye, even, we might say, affectionate, and enthusiastic beyond description. Added to this all-sufficient cause for the furore displayed last eveeing, there were other great at tractions—Her Ernst—the Paganini of the day Piatti, the best violincellist in the world, we believe—Osborne, a pianist of eminence, and a successful composer—Mdcle. Cerelii, a contralto of high standing—anti Charles Bra ham, already not unfaveurably known to a Cork. audience. But the attractions did not cease even here, for with such artistes the programme is of material importance— and that of last evening's concert was varied and attrac tive in the extreme, and comprised some of the master compositions of Verdi, Meyerbeer, Doeizetti, Rossini, and &lei. Among the most beautiful creations of that inarticulate poetry, which, finding no adequate ex pression in ordinary language, gindses into song, ranks, most assuredly, Declines "Amine." Full of tenderness, purity, and grace, intensely passionate yet supremely gentle, the Raphael of music has lavished on it the roost magical endowments of his art, and the " ! non giunge" is the epitome of all that is grand, passionate, joyous, and pathetic in this master piece of Musical art. To beer the thrilling exultation of the innocent, yet suspected girl rendered, as we recollect it to have been rendered of old by our Syren of Song, was a treat suffi• cient, in itself, to attract an overflowing house in Cork. But, it would appear as if the attractions of this concert were limitless, for together with the foregoing we had Scotch ballads and Irish melodies. The Irish Melodies-- " Savourneen Dheelish" and the "Harp thatonce through Tara'a Hall's !" Where are there such treasures in music as those Melodies ? That music of ours which comes swelling up from the heart, telling, as it were, all the ley?, all the sorrows, the woes, the griefs, the fears, and the hopes of our much persecuted, yet never despondent, oft deceived, yet ever trusting people ? Tee infuse into that music a soul—a national soul—to make that music speak to the hearts of others the poetry that first found in it a spontaneous language, is to borrow some of the inspiration from which it emanated and to revive the spell of departed Genius. We do not say too much when we say 'tis thus our Irish Prima Donna sings the melodies of her native country. She is, it has been prettily observed, racy of our soil, and gradually diffuses sweetness around. Her beauties are of her native clime, with its features of tenderness, ,melting into light or darkening into shade ; and, still further carrying out the simile, her reputation for virtue, as a woman, has Bone hand in hand, through the trials and difficulties of life, with her reputation for genius as a vocalist. She has ever adorned and graced the private circle as much as she has charmed and delighted the theatre and con cert-room. Could • such a combination of the most -4azzline attractions fail, even in the most unmusical and uncivilised csmtnumty, to draw together a numerou a .11,1 a brilliant assemblage ? Miss Hayes, on making her appearance last evening, was greeted with the utmost enthusiasm, the entire audience standing en masse and cheering vociferously for some moments She opened wigs the scene from "La Prophets," Aid mor. firs"—nn admirable and judicious selection, for it was the most perfect specimen, to our judg ,nens, of vocalism given during the evening, affording abundant scope for displaying the varied resources of her voice, as well as that impassinnate fervour of expression without which all music is dull and pointless, In this she exhibited, in the most striking manlier, that magic power of totichirg the feelings of her audience, which surpasses all other beauties, and which is the manifeeta tien of truly inborn genius. Neither travel or time ap pear to have impaired the capabilities of her voice, on the contrary she seems to have improved in volume, in in tonation, and in the delivery of her voice since last we had the pleasure of listening to her bewitching vocalisa tion. In striking contrast of style, but no less fervent in de'ivery, was the plaintiff and pathetic Scotch ballad, "Auld Robin Gray." In the first piece she was en. cored, but the fatigues were too great, and notwithstand. mg the great anxiety of the audience to hear her they were, for once, considerate and satisfied with a deprecat ing acknowledgment of the call.

The "Harp that once through Tara's Hall " was the next Miss Hayes sang, and although we find exception has been taken to a new rendering she has given it, we cannot avoid ex pressing our opinion that the abruptness with which she gives the word "breaks," and the pause which followed, were apposite, and dictated by sound critical acumen. This of course was encored, and the last verse repeated. But the finale of " Sonnambula" was the piece in which the richn ess o f h er voice and its extraordinary capabi lities distinguished themselves. The effect was literally ravishing, Peal after peal of applause succeeded it, for in it the fair songstress poured out a tide of glorious melody, and ended by a shake of almost incredible diffi culty, both from the altitude of the notes and the length to which it was prolonged. The excitement was almost frenzied, and Miss Hayes retired amid the most sherap turous er Mademoiselle gully c re o c r e r e f et a nd bowede displayed,or t, an niapology. reading f turous applau se an d demands for an encore, to which o " segreto" was which she took p ar t, the purity to o advanta g e, a tone nta a e r , d the b e v() extended lum e range of her ri c h contralto.

In answer to an encore, he gave, some airs from " Sonnambula," the celebrated " Phan tom Chorus," with the most wonderful refinement, variety of tone, and delicacy.

POR, SATunDAY. This morni ng Commander H TS MOUTHartstein was embarked by Mr. George Allen in H.M.'s steam tender Sprightly, and landed near the official residence of the United States' Consul the Chevalier Vincent Pappalardo, at the Plat form B ittery, where he was met immediately by Com modore Sir T. Maitland, C. 8., of H.IILS. Excellent, the Commander- n-Ch of pro tens. of the port, Vice -Admiral Sir G. Seymour being absent at the funeral of his bro• ther, and Rear-Admiral Martin being absent on leave. Sir Thomas offered Captain Hartstein, in the name of her Majesty's Government, everything in the wa y o f ship's provi s i ons , p i lotage, and, indeed, everything else the officer or crew could require during their sojourn in England. For these hospitable courtesies Captain Hart stein expressed his a wiliest acknowledgments. After this interview Chevalier Pappalardo presented Capt. Hartstein, at the Government-house, to the Lieu• tenant-Governor (Major-General H. Breton), by which gallant officer he was most warmly greeted ; then to the Mayor of the Borough (Mr. Crosweller), and then to Flag-Captain G. H. Seymour, C. 8., on board the flag ship Victory. Capt. Hartstein has accepted the invitation of the Mayor and Corporation to dine with them, but could not name a day, owing to the necessity for transacting the official business connected with his courteous mission. At 11 o'clock this morning her Majesty's steam frigate Shannon, 51, Capt. Peel, C. 8., sa:uted the American ensign with 21 guns, after which the Resolute changed her colours to English, and the garrison and battery (on the flagstaff of which was hoisted an American ensign) fired a salute of 21 guns thereupon. Capt. Hartstein and his next in command partook of an elegant dejeuner at the Consulate, and the former left for London by the 1•45 p.m. train on the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway, to deliver his despatches to the British Admiralty and the American Minister, The Government sent down a special ;messenger last night to Portsmouth to order suites of apartments and every accommodation of the best class for the American officers at the Portland Hotel, Southsea, where the most assiduous and satisfactory attention is insured at the hands of Mr. Digt,) , Dent, the lessee. The Resolute will come into Portsmouth harbour on Monday, unless contrary orders are issued. She is in first-class condition. Her commander reports a succes sion of gales the whole voyage from the N. W. on the other side of the Atlantic, and from the S.S.W. to S.S. E. on this, in all which she behaved remarkably well. The weather the night previous to her arrival at Spithead (Thursday) is described by Commander Hartstein and his officers as awfully wild—heavy squalls, with rain and hail, and lighting very vivid. Considering the peculiar build of the Resolute, and the season of the year, her passage has been a remarkably good one. The Cleopatra brings passengra from the Cape of Good Hope7-Second-Master Switzer, R N., Capt. Du malt, Mr. Westenerck, and several invalided seamen and marines ; from St. Helena, Major Faunce (St. Helena Regiment) and M. Piquet ; from Ascension, Lieut. Taylor (Royal Marines); and from Madeira, Mrs. Barrett. Capt. Dacres, C. 8., the superintendent of the Royal Clarence Victualling Eitablishment, Gosport, sent off to the Resolute this morning by the Sprightly a full supply of fine Christmas beef and every other victualling necessary for the ci ew. The ship is an object of much interest in the port. EXTRICATION'OF TWO MORE SHIPS FROM THE ICE.— follo wing information relative to the discovery of two of the abandoned ships has reached us fromEA.ber deen :—Captain Paterson, of the Pacific whaler, who had been in Pond's-bay, Baffin's Straits, this past sea son, 1356, states that he had bartered with an Esquimaux there three copper bolts and a galvanised rod of iron b They een s a e r e e n note u i n r i C n a f o p r t P s n a t t . e r s T o n b ! e s about l)sses , se a t nd lon b g a . ve Esquimaux made signs that they were taken from a ship which had been pressed on shore in a gale of wind by the ice, and that she "slept" there, meaning that she was there still. Captain Duchess, of the ship Dundee, saw a patent copper scoop in the bands of the Esqui maux ; he wished to barter it, but the natives made off without parting with the article. All this confirms the information obtained from Hull, through Capt, J. B. Cator, who, writing to Capt. Sherard 0-borne, states that the Esquimaux of the west side of Baffin's-bay have been observed to have sledges this season of bard wood, with treenail holes through, and, in answer to questions put, assort that two ships have been discovered by them —one is on the beach and broken up by the ice, but that the other vessel is perfectly sound, and merely beset in some inlet west of Pond's-bay —either Admiralty or Princa Regent's Inlet, but most probably the former. Capt. Penny, who, as well as Capt. Parker, of the True love, wintered about Cumberland Straits in 1855.6, was puzzled by constant rumours of ships being somewhere to the north-west of his position, Capt. Penny fancied at first that these reports referred to Franklin's ships locked up in King 'William's Land, but we isow under stand what gave rise to these rumours, being nothing more than two more of Sir E. Boicher's squadron that have floated from the spot where they were so prema turely left, to bear witness against the need of any such wholesale expenditure of her Majesty's ships. From the vessels having been abandoned in pairs, and the)Resolute and Intrepid being originally fully 200 miles from the Assistance and Pioneer, there seems reason to suppose that the Intrepid, whether floating or wrecked, would never be very far from the position in which th e Reso lute was discovered by tie Americans, and that the two ships now in the hands of the Esquimaux are the Assist ance and Pioneer. In corroboration of the idea th a t ships beset together and drifting in the sea would not be very far separated we need only point to the great win ter drift of Commander De Haven's two vessels, the Advance and Rescue, and that of the Enterprise and In vestio•atar, under Sir James C. Ross, in 1849, and of th e Terror, under command of Sir George Back, still earlier. —United Service Gazette.

A late chaplain to the army in Turkey, in writ ing to a contemporary, says : " I 'see that it is determined to reopen the Paris Conferences. I trust that certain apparent over sights in the first Conference will be reconsidered. If you will permit me I will mention one—l mean the present condition of Christians in the Turkish empire, as settled by the late Conferences ; for the Conferences made a very serious change in their condition—the Western Plenipotentiaries being, I firmly believe, overreached by the Turkish. The change I allude to is this, that now no foreign Christian Power shall have any right to interfere between the Porte and its Christian subjects. Be fore this, when any outrage was committed en a Christian, the Foreign Ambassador (I may men tion particularly our own) used means for their safety and protection.. At the Conferences so eager Were the Western Powers to keep out the Russians from claiming a right to protect the Christians that the Turkish Plenipotentiary got a' clause inserted, that no foreign P ower should have a right to interfere. The formerly protecting arm of the English and French Am bassadors is now paralysed. It will probably b e replied that, since the publishing of the Ilatti-Lloe s . mayoun, giving liberty to the Christians, this is unnecessary. I reply byasking if this edict has ever been published beyond the shores of the Bosphorus ? I answer that it has not ; the provinces know no thing of it. Dr. Sandwith could hear nothing about it in Armenia, but, on the contrary, found all the old oppressive and tyrannical proceedings against- Christians in full force. I heard, at a large public meetins , of the Turkish mission. Dr. Ham lin, who had' been missionary in Turkey for 18 years, say publicly that he believed that this edict was not carried out, and never was intended to be carried out ; a statement fully corroborated by my own inquiries at Constantinople. While at Scutari this spring I made frequent inquiries 'among the Christians—both Greeks and Armenians about it. They unanimously declared that they would be in a far worse case through this edict than they %% ere before it. Before they paid the haratch, and were exempt from the duty of serving in the army ; now they pay the tax and are liable to serve, without being permitted to enjoy the privileges of citizen ship ; nay, I believe that they are now treated worse by the Turk than before. The latter knows his power and the weakness of his victim, and we may be sure of this, that no Turk will ever be punished for violence on a Christian unless through the interference of a foreign Power. The well-known case of the Pasha of Varna and the girl Nedele will be remembered by all. I was at Scutari at the time that the investigation was going on, and I well remember the indignation expressed by the Turks" at the French for their interference with their liberty to do what they liked with their own—i. c., the per sons and property of the Christians." The following account, which I have translated out of a Greek newspaper, the Sun (Helios), will show that the Turk is still the unchanged Oriental despot he ever was :—" At Philipp o polis b a certain Christian celebrated the marriage of his son, to which he invited all his friends and relations ; for six days they kept up the rejoicings with music and dancing. On the fifth day the Pasha of Philip popolis unfortunately happened to pass by and saw the ladies elegantly dressed, adorned with flowers, jewels, and strings of pearls. On learning the oc casion of the festivity from the father, with whom he was acquainted, his Excellency was angry be cause he had not been invited ; he was therefore invited on the following day, and was a spectator of the profusion and wealth of the family. About midnight he attacked the house, carried off every thing, and slaughtered twenty-five persons. On the following day, which was Sunday, the neighbours, consulting together, knocked at the door, but there was no reply, or sound of anything within. At last they broke open the door, and became spectators of the 25 corpses, with their fingers mercilessly cut off—a sad sight for Philo- Turks. Immediately a statement of facts was drawn up, and the Pasha hastened to view the place with his own eyes. He then left, mounted his horse, uttering curses and imprecations on the perpetra tors. He rode up and down, and set a guard over the house, and sent out his soldiers to pursue and take the midnight plunderers. But there is nothing done in secret that shall not one day be brought to light. One of the servants of the Pasha gave an account to the Christians of his share in the hor rible murder. Upon this immediate information was given to the Pasha of Adrianople, who, coming to the houso of the Pasha of Philippopolii, instantly drew up before him all his soldiers, afterwards the soldiers of the place, so that the latter should have • guards, and accompanying him caused search to be made in the houses of the neighbours of the murdered man. Then he returned to the Pasha's houAe, when, on being searched, was discovered in a private apartment occupied by his servant a large iron chest ' • this he opened, and there were f oun d heaped up bracelets, necklaces, and rings belonging to the amputated fingers, & - c. The Pasha was taken to Adrianople, where he remains in custody. The other inhabitants are seeking out the terrified witnesses with all diligence ; hut the fear is that this Pasha will get off as the Pasha of Varna did. They have written to Constantinople, and are waiting orders from head-quartets." THit GIGANTIC FRAUDS ON THPJ GREAT IVO ~ THERN RAILWAY. We find the following letter from Lord Hotham n Berapath's " My - attention has been called to your paper of the 29th ult., containing au article headed " Leopold Redpath," in which is the following statement, referring, as I am given to understand, to myself : " One day while Mr. Denison, the chairman of the Gteat Northern, was talking with Lord H., Redpath passed, and as a gentleman should do to to his superior, bowed, which the chairman is said to have acknowledged by a stiff How d'yo do, Redpath ?" Whether the chairman told the noble lord that Redpath was one of his men of honour and gentlemen, deponent saith not, but he was presently astounded to see Redpath and Lord H. in conversation as two old friends and equals.

" I desire, therefore, in order to prevent the pos sibility of misconception, to state what and all that I have known of Mr. Redpath. I have never had, either directly or indirectly, a business transaction of any kind whatsoever with him. On two or three occasions I have met him, when paying a morning visit to a friend in London, and if I had seen him afterwards, on one occasion, at the station (which, although it has escaped my recollection, I have no doubt, from what Mr. Denison tells me, is the case), I should certainly have spoken to him, as I should have done to any one under similar circumstances. ......_ This_ _ being • the_ sum total of my acquaintance with Mr. Redpath, it will be evident to you how little foundation there is for the statement made to you by your correspondent. It would, indeed, have been strange if I had described myself as being on terms of intimate familiarity with one of whom I knew no more than is above detailed, or that I should be guilty o f such a monstrous falsehood as to declare that I h a d dined " many a time" at the table of au indi v id ual with whom, or even in whose compa n y, I have never dined in the whole course of my lif e .

There are few countries which have been less visited by modern travellers than the Island of Madagascar. Those who are interested in the history of this country, its natural productions, and its numerous inhabitants, will be glad to learn that the Rev. Wm. Ellis, who left England last March, at the express invitation of the Queen of Madagascar and the Prince, her son, has suc ceeded in reaching the capital, after an adventurous journey from the coast, a distance of about 300 miles. With the same attention and kindness which awaited _ . his arrival at Jamateve, Mr. Ellis was conducted through all the stages of this journey, and finally arrived at the capital on the 27th August, with the respect and con sideration befitting to a guest of the Queen. More than a hundred men had been appainted by the Madagascar Government to convey him and his pack. ages, as being carried by hand, himself in a kind of pa lanquin, in which the traveller reclines for the greater ease of the bearers, and his property portioned out by weight, a certain amount being allotted to each car rier. Every precaution was necessary for strength and safety ; for such roads, or rather such tracts, to be traversed without roads, Mr. Ellis states he could never have imagined. Much of the way was through swampy districts, and shallow rivers, in crossing which the palanquin had sometimes to be raised upon poles, on one occasion the men shouting as they went ; and when asked the cause of the noise, it proved to bo for the pur pose of frightening off the crocodiles, In one instance the party crossed a broad lake in fifteen canoes. At other times their way lay through dense old forests, perfectly awful in the majesty of their giant growth, and the still ness of these vast solitudes. Sometimes the way was so narrow and precipitous that only one man could pass abreast, and where more level the bearers had often no bitter footing than a considerable depth of soft mod. It was the rainy season ; and Mr. Ellis describes this por tion as - being justly designated the " fever district." Indoed, he was often reminded' of one amongst the many shrewd sayings of the late King Rodarna, who used to boast that he could trust any invading army to his two generals, " Wood and Fever.' The party passed or., however, and were halted occasionally for a day, without any attack from this malady, except in the case of one of the bearere. Throughout this portion of the journey Mr. Ellis was much struck with the beauty and variety of the ferns, with some heaths quite new to him, and with many luxu riant creepers bearing beautiful flowers. The ropier palm, so valuable to the natives in their manufactures, was abundant, as well as the traveller's tree, a palm peculiar to Madagascar. The remarkable properties of this tree, from which it derives its name, is that of yielding, when the branches are pressed, a perfectly clear and pure liquid, in quantities sufficient to allay the traveler's thirst—sometimes not less than a quart from one small nciaion. On emerging from the fever country, and reaching a more open and better-cultivated country, the ropier and traveller's tree were no longer found. The indu-try of the Hovas was then more perceptible in the cultivation of rice grounds and in many other kinds of produce, as well as in the weaving of beautiful fabrics of native silk, chiefly the lamba worn by the chiefs as a kind of mantle, with a broad striped border, often of bright colours, arranged with the greatest taste. , At all the different halting stations the party were re ceived with kindness, ample provisions supplied, and if any of the bearers absconded, as they sometimes did, their packages were sent forward by the chief of the place with the greatest exactness and certainty. Frequently during the course of the journey messengers arrived from the capital to express the friendly anticipations of the Prince and his friends, and on advancing towards the last stages these marks of attentio❑ became still more frequent. At last three chiefs, on horseback, approached as a final escort ; and the traveller was then conducted to a house appointed for his use, which he found exceedingly commodious and comfortable, being fitted up with many of the conveniences of European life. Mr. Ellis being obliged to despatch his journal by the bearers who were returning to the coast, had not had time for his anticipated interview with the Queen ; but his letter closes with an account of a visit from the Prince of a most interesting nature. He was accompanied by the Queen's secretary, who speaks English, being one of those who some years ago received their education in this country. The Prince is described by Mr. Ellis as being extremely agreeable in his person and manner. He was dressed in the style of a European gentleman of rank, and spoke and conducted himself with a frank and open cordiality, blended at times with evidence of deeper feeling, all indicative of that sincere, humane, and gene. roux disposition for which be is so universally beloved. In those respects in which Mr. Ellis is most deeply interested, he states that the condition of things exceeds even his highest expectations ; but the same stringent laws against Christianity remain in force, although there has not of late been any active persecution. Already he has learned enough to confirm the Impression that it was his duty to pay this visit, whatever the ultimate issue may Le, and ho earnestly solicits the prayers of all Chris tians that his mission may not be in vain. THE RECORDERSHIP OF BRISTOL.—In consequence of representations made by the town-council of Bristol to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, the salary of the Recorder, with the concurrence of Mr. Ser geant Kinglake (who recently succeeded Sir A. Cock burn in the office, and who left the matter entirely in the hands of Sir G. Grey), has been reduced from 6001. to 500/. per annum. In connection with this subject it may also be stated that an application has been made by the Bristol Corporation to be beard before the commis sioners recently appointed to inquire into the practice and proceedings of the superior courts, for the purpose of laying before them the great inconvenience and ex pense at present entailed upon Bristol in being obliged to send prisoners committed for offences requiring to be disposed of at assizes to Gleuceeter for trial. There is at present an annual Nisi Prius assize held at Bristol, which it is suggested should be held half-yearly, with a criminal assize in addition. VAGUE NOTION or NUMBER.—When once at Carnar von I learned hew vague are the ideas of number in unpractised minds. " What number of people do you think," said I to an elderly person, " wiil be assembled this day at Carnarvon ?" " What number ?" rejoined the person addressed, " what number ? Well, really, now, I should reckon—perhaps a matter of four mil lions." Four millions of extra people in little Carnar von, that could barey find accommodation (I should calculate) for an extra icitir hundred.—Confessions of an Opiunveatcr, ~~~- 7 ~ w i %ctc/ 77 INS PAPER. • '"gr Zol ' Ai : j• , 1441) I a s iRELAND. • --.7.;i DUBLIN, SATURDAY MORNING,. ,' .

's' \ 4 l5 ✓ ~.-2 There has been, it would seem, another change in the Ministerial mind with respect to the propriety 1%,..1: of appointing a third commissioner in place of Baron Richards. It appears that in th e course o f some proceedings yesterday in chamber Mr. Com missioner Longfield made a few casual observations, troll' which, as well as could be collected, the learned gentleman intimated that it was not the intention of the Government to fill up the vacancy created by the return of Baron Richards to the Exchequer bench. This being the case, the other commissioners will have but little idle time, as the pressure of business is said to be on the increase daily. The extensive estates of Mr. William Arm strong, situate in the counties of Clare and Galway, were put up for sale on Friday in 22 lots, and pro duced the sum of 54,000/., or somewhere about 23 years purchase on the net rental. THE BROADSTONE TRAGEDY. Another pause in the unravelling of the plot ; but the discovery of Thursday has completely re vived the painful state of excitement which, under the pressure of continuous failure, had nearly died out in the earlier part of the last week. There was nothing newer in this morning's papers than the following statement, copied from the Mail of last night : "The discovery of the money before alluded to is likely to be productive of most important result s . Th e position in which it was found, taken in connexio n w i t h the fact that the hammer with which the murder was committed was one belonging to the same depart ment of the terminus, strengthens a suspicion which the polio. have entertained from the day of the inquest with al most certainty. The bag has been clearly proved to have been the property of Mr. Little by his sister, who made it for the purpose of holding coin, so that no doubt can be entertained that its contents formed a porti▪ on of +he money abstracted on the occasion of the murde r . This will go far to s how that the assassin was no i stran ger. A s t o w h et h er t h e b ag was mere l y dipped n water for some u n k nown o bj ect, or w h et h er i t h a d remai▪ ned a lengthened time saturated, is not easily determinable, for a quantity of oilcloth on which it lay would have conduced to the retention of the water. However this. may be, every single coin bears marks of having been wetted, just as if the mouth of the bag had been held open and the water poured in. A moat searching in• quirt' to ascertain the persons who had access to the place where the basket was deposited, or who, not having business, were seen in its neighbourhood, has been set on foot, but it is said that this is merely a precautionary measure, for the police are in possession of facts which will go further than anything which can be elicited by such an investigation to point out the guilty person. Doubts having been entertained whether any money was taken from the cashier's room on the evening of the murder, it is now positively stated that by a document In the handwriting of Mr. Little it appears that the sum •if 3341. in gold and silver was carried off by the mur derer." BANK Or IRELAND. A General Court of Proprietors of Bank Stock was held yesterday, agreeably to charter; Mr. J. Ennis, Governor, in the chair. The court having been formally opened, the Governor made the fol. lowing report from the Court of Directors to the Court of Proprietors "It i , the opinion of the Court that a dividend of 41 per cent, be made to the proprietors of Bank Stock, free of income tar, for the half year ending the 25th instant. The Governor further stated to the proprietors that, after making the d►vidMnd now proposed and providing for the payment of income tax, there would remain, ace , rding to the estimate, a sum of about 12,0001. to be added to the rest fund." In reply to a question respecting the gross amount of the rest fund, the Governor stated that after adding the 12,0001., the rest fund would be 1,040,0001. THE INCOME TAX. The movement against the war ninepence is spreading in Ireland, and probably will become general before the meeting of Parliament. Dublin, as a matter of right, leads the way, and the metro politan county meets on Tuesday next, in pursu ance of a requisition addressed to the High Sheriff. The Mercantile Advertiser says : "It gives us much gratificatiou to observe that a move ment has been set on foot in the county of Dublin, having for its object to limit the amoun t o f the income tax , to 7,1. in the pound from April next. This tax has pressed with much severity upon the general industry of the country, as well as upon the slender means of hard-working persons in every employment; and it is to be hoped that an impost which the Legislature plainly never intended to extend beyond the period abovenamed—the period of actual neces sity—shall not be suffered to continue any longer as a drag upon the industry and enterprise of a people who were only toq ready to assist the Government, in their need, with brave men as well as with plenty of money to support them. We trust the Dublin movement will be readily followed throughout the country. We observe that in Eng land movements against the whole tax are being vigorously organised. Energy and prudence are sure to succeed, at least to the extent of effecting a reduction of an impost which must necessarily be generally odious after a necessity for it has ceased."

About eight o'clock that evening he had been paid some cash by a gentleman in Donegal-street; and nearly an hour later he parted with a friend at the end of the Long-bridge, on his way home to Cregagh. Nothing more was heard of Mr. M'Nair till the next morning, when his body was discovered on a new fence within a short distance of his father's place. The ground near which the remains were found was all padded as if by persons in a steuggle. The knee; of deceased's trousers were burst, it is supposed, by his having fallen several times under the blows of his assailants, and, being a very stout, resolute young man, be had battled desperately be fore he finally fell before his murderers. When the body was examined several severe wounds were found about the neighbourhood head ; one of the blows, given, it is supposed, by some bunt instrument, had produced a large fracture of the skull. All the cash that had been lodged about Mr,Mglshi te ; person was carried off, the murderers having been so p - Heeler in their search for money that they hacclot:itskiden time to turn out the pocket in each instance. arable excitement prevailed in Belfast and its atit set an inquiry on foot, and several persons erew taken when the dreadful tale was told.
