IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY. The meeting of the Senate of the Queen's Uni versity was geld yesterday in St. Patrick's-hall, Dublin Castle. It was the best in point of attend ance and interest ever held since the foundation of the institution 11 years ago. The magnificent hall was crowded by the elite of Dublin society ; the Lord Chancellor, as Vice-Chancellor of the Univer sity, occupied the chair. The Lord Lieutenant occupied a seat on the right, and the Chief Secre tary on the left. LadyEmilyPeel and Lady Caroline Lascelles were accommodated with seats on the dais. Many other ladies of distinction were:present. The degrees were conferred by the Chairman in virtue of his office as Vice-Chancellor of the Queen's University—the president of each college rising as the name of one of his students was called. This ceremony, which occupied a good deal of time, having been concluded, the Lord Chancellor ad dressed the Lord Lieutenant, expressing the grate ful acknowledgments of the members of the Uni versity for the support he had uniformly given to its interests, lie referred to the fact that the late Earl of Eglinton ha d aim,* been its zealous friend. He was present at the first meeting of the Senate to confer degrees in 1852, when he delivered an address full of encouragement to the Senate, and of hope and kindness towards the students. When he appeared as Viceroy a second time he gave ex pression to similar feelings, His lordship then paid a graceful tribute to the memory of the de ceased earl, saying— It is fitting that I should leave to others, and in other places, to speak of the Earl of Eglinton in the high terms of approval and regard which his noble and chivalrous character, his eminent qualities of head and heart, his patriotic feeling s, his sound judgment, and his soc i a l attributes ju stly deserved. In this place, remembering the occasions when he stood among us, and the terms in which he was • then pleased to express himself, I feel that I can say with truth, in his own words addressed to us, that he was desirous to promote the success of edu cation in Ireland, and that there were very few in stitutions in which he took a greater interest than in this university. I trust that in successive years we shall continue to be thus assisted and honoured by the support and presence of those to whom our gracious Sovereign may confide the administration of the government of Ireland. While the adminis tration is in the hands of your Excellency I know we cannot have doubt or misgivings as to your acts or feelings. We recognise in the past and in the present a very sure guarantee for the future ; and our gratitude, strong as it is, is not stronger than our anticipations." The Lord-Lieutenant in his reply also reverted to the loss sustained by the death of Lord Eglinton, observing : " I cannot pass through the next room to that in which we are now assembled without perceiving in the long series of portraits of Irish Viceroys that two of them have passed away from us within the present month. (Hear, hear.) In that most short period we have lost the matured wisdom and un blemished rectitude of Fortescue, and the generous spirit and chivalrous patriotism of Eglinton—(hear) —and I feel tempted to quote once more the appo site lines which I remember using in this place once before in a happier hour. We have lost from among us ' Virtus Scipiache et mitis sapientia " ((Applause.) Last year he had expressed a hope that arrange ments would speedily be made for a moderate addi tion to the limited incomes of the professors ; he regretted that hope had not yet been realised, but he trusted that no long time would elapse before a beginning would of 1: - :ast be made. The want of adequate endowments for the professors leaves a de pressing influence on the Colleges, as the best men are discontented with their position, anti are tempted by higher emoluments to accept appointments in other Universities. Lord Carlisle adverted to the fact that the Queen's University has no local habi tation like that which Queen Elizabeth had pro vided for Trinity College. " Had it been otherwise," said his lordship, " I need not say how joyfully our young academy would have welcomed within its precincts a gentler and more victorious Elizabeth." He then referred to the presence of Sir R. Peel in the following terms : "It will be in the knowledge of those whom I address that the act which established the Queen's Colleges in Ireland was passed during the adminis tiation of the late Sir R. Peel. Among the, wit nesses of their early progress I rejoice to see at my side to-day the son of that most eminent statesman and friend of Ireland. (Loud applause.) There is no one who left a deeper mark upon the recent annals of this country. There is no one whose memory is more intimately associated with the marvellous work of Irish improvement and progress than the honoured sire. Most fervently I trust that the son is destined effectually to carry out the same beneficent and exalted mission, and that, among other subjects of hereditary labour, this institution will largely share and reward his fostering care. I will now beg to take leave of you, my young friends, the graduates and prizemen of this day, with the most heartfelt good wishes for your future distinc tion, happiness, and virtue. In the course of these brief remarks I have brought before you more than one illustrious name. I will not say that such ele vated positions can be within the reach of all, but in point of actual merit there is no mere human excellence which another man may not equal and even surpass. May the blessing of him to whom all things are possible be ever with you all !" (Loud applause.) Sir R. Peel then rose, and was greeted with loud and long-continued cheering. Ho delivered an ani mated speech. He said : "Ladies and Gentlemen,—The ceremony of to day has been deeply interesting and impressive. We have witnessed the conferring of degrees and diplomas, and the distribution of prizes to the suc cessful candidates by the Senate of the affiliated Colleges constituting the Queen's University. We have heard the language of well-merited compli ment and of earnest encouragement which has been addressed to the students of this most national in stitution. We have seen the most eminent and distinguished personages in this kingdom—the Viceroy and the Lord Chancellor—taking an active part in the proceedings, surrounded by the elite of our society, and in the presence of all who, by their character and countenance, can add weight and dignity to the occasion, nd if I now, by desire, ladies and gentlemen, venture to appear in this place, to offer a few remarks, I do so with extreme diffidence; but, at the same time, I can truly say that on more grounds than one—yes, personal as well as political—l have witnessed the ceremony of to-day with the liveliest emotion, not unmingled with recollections of the past history of the institu tion. (Applause.) The Viceroy has been pleased to allude to the originator of the scheme, and he has done so with that feeling and eloquence which are the cht - Jacteristics of a kind and cultivated mind. I accept—gratefully accept—in the pre sence of the Senate of this University, the compli ment. that has been paid—paid by one who unites to the highest official position, and the qualities which should a d orn th a t position, that genial affa bi.ity and those accomplishments which endear him sphere. toth eheatiia heart (Hear every man who comes within his allud r e' hear.) And, if I may be per mitted t o 's Colleges as to a publi c man , I can sa y, what has been veryt t r i uly said, that the welfare of Ireland—l be ar tea ever foremmoosly . to the career of 40 years—was the words " welfare o f Ireland" his tho ug ht s ; an d in bold characters of relief stand conspicuous upon the bri pedestal of his political fame. . (Applause.) As allusions have been made to the originat or this scheme, I also must be permittedof to to one who, by his writings, by one 07llude most practical works upon the impris onment of most land, tended considerably to the establiseenene of- this institution ; one who came boldly forward and said, ' If you want to solve this difficulty —why Ireland, with its material and natural advantages, with its people physically and morally not inferior to the people of other countries, at that time was more backward than other countries—l will tell you,' he said, why it is more backward. The reason of its backwardness is that there is a want of indus trial education amang th e p eo p le of Ire.iand! And ho laid down, with indisputable, for co , this—that academic institutions which would give to men of all creeds the aid and advant a g es of professors of science, were, perhaps, the best perhaps the only means of remedying the evil. were These wor dy spoken long before the question was agitated in Parliament as to the formation of those Colleges. And I am glad to have the opportunity of pointing On this occasion to that man who I know took a ; very active and interesting part in the establish ment.of those institutions ; I allude to the honoured ll preside n t of the Cork College, Sir Robert Kane. lAl V i ttlee.) Weal, then, I h a ve • grounds than I atitutiou. havetlne take a deep interest in this in urti:ri watched it from its commence ment,aopened to thre e glad ,.. to see its development. It has academic advanta %the of the youth of Ireland those ;aied, and it has ttei_t 'which they ware before de rendered immense benefits to the 1 cause of popular education, and to the good govern ment and to the character of this country. (Ap plause.) And what is the criterion of the success of this institution ? Not mere numbers. They would be very significant if it were only that. But the proof of its success is the great political gain which has been derived by the establishment of a sytem in Ireland which has openel to men of dif ferent religious denominations combined secular instruction upon the broad basis of religious equality. (Applause.) That was what mainly interested Sir Robert Peel when he introduced and originated in Parliament this plan. Sir Robert Peel, I well recollect, said in the House of Commons—' You may have the opinions that you desire, but I shall relinquish with the greatest regret the hopes of an education for Ireland which will give combined in struction to the youth of the Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Presbyterian creeds.' Sir James Gra ham, who was one of Sir Robert Peel's warmest supporters in the establishment of these Colleges, said,—' Grant this system of education to Ireland, and you will give her an education equal to that of the University of Scotland or of Trinity College, Dublin ;' and I ask you, by the ceremony of to-day, whether the result has not corresponded with the expectations those men formed, (Hear.) But, even still more remarkable, I can point to the late Prime Minister, Lord Derby. Lord Derby, when, as Lord Stanley, he introduced that measure of Sir Robert Peel's in the House of Lords, most strenu ously advocated this system. I heard the words which he then expressed, and which were very re markable. He said—' I think that, as you have given your sanction to an exclusive system in Tri nity College, D u blin, for the purpose of supplying clergy for the Established Church—as you have connected the theological tenets of the Presbyterian creed with the College established in Belfast—so I think you have wisely and liberally agreed to aid the education of the Roman Catholic priesthood by supporting the Roman Catholic College of May nooth. All these, however, are theological endow ments. Now, when dealing with the laity, I entreat your lordships to permit - the laity of Ireland, of every creed, to be educated in common, and under the same teachers, in all those branches of learning which do not and cannot affeet their religious opi nions. (Applause.) Well, gentlemen, as the Lord Chancellor has just said, 11 years have elapsed since this scheme has been in operation, and we are justi fied in assuming it answered the expectations of those men who are interested in the welfare of Ire land. Now, I have pondered it for these 11 years, and it does appear to me that, notwithstanding its progressive development, notwithstanding the benefits it has conferred upon Ireland, there are wanting two things to place this institution upon that footing of comprehensive utility which it is cal culated and able to enjoy. Now, if you permit me, if I am not trespassing too long on your time— (no, no)—I shall allude briefly to the first and most conspicuous of those points. (Hear.) It has been very well observed by a very intelligent friend, who probably may be in this hall at this moment —speaking of these Colleges, he said—' These Col leges are a centre which colects to itself the highest and the best of the national intellect, and, then, under the influence of sound knowledge, fructifies and developes it for the public advantage.' (Hear.) Now, that is true to a very great extent, but not altogether. No doubt, the Roman Catholic and the Presbyterian laity have availed themselves to a very great extent of the Colleges, in accordance with the hopes and expectations of those who founded them. (Hear, hear.) I believe when this institution was first founded there were 6,000,000 Roman Catholics in this country, only 100 of whom were in receipt of academic education ; whereas now, at the present day, there are more Roman Catholics on the books of these Colleges at one and the same time than there were Roman Catholics who passed through Trinity College in 15 years. (Hear, hear.) Is not that a proof of the advantages which this institution has conferred upon Ireland ? Is it not a proof also that the Roman Catholic laity of this country have not shown a willingness to accept Trinity College as the source of their own academic instruction ? I may say the same with reference to that most important and influential body, the Protestant Dissenters, who also have shown a great indisposition to avail themselves of the education provided by Trinity College. (Hear.) What do we find ? We find that three provinces —Ulster, Munster, and Connaught—have each of them a College—Belfast, Cork, and Galway; and what do we learn ? I have been looking at the rolls of these Colleges, and I find their educational influences are almost entirely limited to the imme diate districts in which they are situate ; so that while we have Ulster, Munster, and Connaught pro vided with collegiate education, we find the metro politan province of Leinster and the capital city of Ireland entirely unprovided with those academic advantages which the youth of Ireland justly and properly claim. (Hear.) This should not be so. (Hear.) We should have Vie metropolitan province of Lein , ster, and the richest city in Ireland, uniting within its limits a more influential Roman Catholic com munity than I believe is to be found in any of the other three provinces, and also a most important body of the Wesleyan communion, entirely de prived, as the rolls of these Colleges show, of the advantages of academic instruction afforded by those institutions. (Hear.) Well, now I say that is one of the points which nave struck me as re quiring the attention of her Majesty's Government. (Hear.) It does appear to me that an arrangement might be made which, by extending this liberal system of education into t all the provinces, would be carrying out the original plan of the men who founded these Colleges, but which plan at the mo ment was only temporarily adjourned, for th© pur pose of subsequent adjustment. (Hear.) The other point to which I may be permitted to refer is one which relates to the placing of this University on a par with the University of Scotland and with Trinity College. It is more easily dealt with, and why ? Because we do not want to go to the Go vernment for grants in order to effect it. It can be dealt with by a proper exercise and display of the public spirit of this country ; and I believe there is in Ireland as much public spirit as there is in Eng land or Scotland. (Hear.) What is it to which I allude ? I find that the youth of the Queen's Uni versity cannot compensate themselves with those scholarships and exhibitions, and prizes, as the older Universities do, I find, by reading over the memorandum of the Queen's Colleges, that there are only 10 exhibitions for graduates connected with each College, of £4O a year each, tenable for one year, and the sum at the disposal of the autho rities for the purpose of giving prizes to under graduates is extremely small. It is given away in prizes of books,:and in affording means, I believe, for the purpose of maintaining students in the course of the University. (Hear.) Compare this with what we find in the older Universities, and it will appear most inefficient; and I say the public spirit of the country ought to come forward and en deavour to place the Queen's University on the footing of other academic institutions. (Hear, hear.) If you allow me, I wish to take this opportunity . of saying that, as I am so firmly convinced of the im mense advantage which would accrue to the youth of this country by offering exhibitions for competi tion, I will myself, with the permission of the Senate, establish three scholarships of £4O a year each—one for each of those colleges—for the space of 10 years. (Applause.) I only hope the example which I set may be followed by those who have a' more direct interest in the welfare of this country. (Hear.) I do not take any credit to myself for doing this. I esteem it as an honour to be able to assist 1 in the work which was founded by my father— 1 (cheers)—and I accept this position, as I may almost say, on the plea of ' founder's kin.' (Renewed cheers.) I have spoken with the secretary of this ,University, and I have to-day placed in his hand a memorandum bearing on the subject. (Cheers.) I hope that others will come forward and assist in establishing 10 or 12 scholarships, exhibitions, or what you please to call them, for the undergraduates of this University. (Applause.) At all events, I myself, for a period of ten years, will establish annually three scholarships of £4O each—one for each of those colleges. (Hear, hear.) I have, I fear, too long trespassed on your time—(no, no)—but before I down I cannot refrain from saying that each succeeding anniversary acknowledges the justice—the nothing more or less than justice—that has been paid to the youth of Ireland by the exten sion of academic institutions. (Hear, hear.) Each succeeding anniversary acknowledges that the h (i a e e er. b ) e been exertions of those who laboured to remove the difficulties which ari se f rom var i ous religious creeds i v crowned ladies with most eminent success. ' of Yes,sand gentlemen, the in gathering the fruits so to speak, which we have this day witnessed s a proof o f th e w i s d om o f the past. I t i s the onl y reward'labour s of r eward, perhaps, but it is those men who strov e to improve th e educational soil of Ireland for that seedtime and harvest from now reaping such im mense and recurringwhich I re l an d i s (Hear.)

(Hear.) One word more and I have done. ' Go on, I would say to the youth of this University. Continue to advance in the career of knowledge and in the fear of God. Keep to those paths by which you have been enabled to master not only the rudi ,nents of classical knowledge, not only to become pro ficieets in the various specialt ies of ar t s, of medi cine, and of l aw, but which have enabled you t h or oughly to appreciate those noblest creations of antiquity which, consecrated by 0 the genius of Greece and .Dome, have became hallowed by the dust of time. (Applause.) Yes, the youth of this Univer 1 sity, many of whom now, for the first time, young and inexperienced in the world, are about to enter into a wider career—a career, perhaps of social, perhaps of political competition, but, at all events, before one and all of you lie open the struggles of life, its inequalities, its di ffi culties, its temptations, andits successes. Grapple with these difficulties and these temptations with spirit and determina tion, and success will crown your exertions (hear) ; but recollect and be not unmindful in that moment that your success and the rewards which will accom pany it will not only be a source of gratification to your own individual feelings of just and honourable ambition, but that it will not fail to reflect a bright ray upon those who devoted in your youth their time to your service, and who have laboured that you might become, in the pride and manhood of your vigour, an ornament to society and a benefit to manhood." (Loud and prolonged applause.) This terminated the proceedings. ' TIIB ,SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 14, 1861. Castle-yard, where they were mixed up with 17 other persons. By Mr. Kearns—l first met him at his own resi dence on the 7th. I put the question in the stable to him that I have mentioned. Doyle put questions to him also. While Doyle was speaking I did not ask questions. I did not go into the room with Doyle at the prisoner's own residence. I stopped in the hall. Doyle was five or six minutes in the room before he and the prisoner came out. The stable is about 50 perches from the prisoner's resi dence. The prisoner did not appear dissatisfied. He was not in custody. If he did not satisfy us we would not like to part with him. On Thursday morning we paraded him for the satisfaction of the parties complaining. The parties saw him. I did not know what was said. He was let go. The parade took place for the purpose of seeing if he could be identified. Maria Connor examined—l live at 3, Stephen's place. lam a widow. lam by occupation a nurse tender, and am the owner of a cab and horse. I know the prisoner, he was in my employment. He ceased to be in my employment on last Tuesday week. He was in my employment for a fort night and three days. I recollect the night of the 27th of September. He was in my employ ment that night. He returned to my house between eleven and twelve that night. (Sen sation.) He put up the horse and cab in the usual way. He was sober. Some evenings he came in early, and some later. Generally speaking he came home about 12 o'clock. He settled with me about the fares. He paid me about 7s. 6d. There was nothing more passed between us. He fed his horse, and went about his business. The feed was ready in the stable. Ho was about 20 minutes attending to the horse. It was a very wet night. He was regular and sober while he was with me. By Mr. Kearns—l was not particular in watch ing the boy, except that he did his business. I re collect the night of the 27th and 28th. He came home earlier on Saturday night. He was not in before 11 o'clock on that night. I have a clock which does not go right. Had no particularity in watching that night more than any other. He had left my service before I had heard of this occurrence. I did not hear of it till four days after it took place. It was a day or two before I heard of the occurrence that he left me. By Mr. MTermott—He complained that the horse was bad when he was going. I said, " You are going, Johnny, I suppose, on account of the horse being bad ?" He said, " Yes." I parted with the same horse since. He complained to me before that the horse was bad. By Mr. Kearns—l have only had one driver since be left me. By Mr. APDermott—He left my service on Tues day. He had been driving between the 27th and that clay. He drove on the Sunday and settled his fares with me. Agnes Wyles, examined by Mr. Armstrong, jun. —I live at 9, Off-lane. I recollect Friday right, Sept. 27. I was in Sackville-street from 7 o'clock in the afternoon, till after 12 that day. I noticed a cab with two persons going into it. It was be tween 10 and 12 o'clock at night I observed the person who drove the cab. To Mr. M‘Dermott—l saw a lady enter the cab, and a gentleman remain outside. I think I would know the man who drove the cab.--Look about and see if you can observe him.—Yes, that's him (point ing to the prisoner). Examination continued—l have often seen him in Sackville-street before. By Mr. M'Dermott—The night was both wet and stormy. By Mr. Anderson—l could not say whether the last buss had left ; I did not mind the busses. I saw the lady enter near Bewley and Evans's. It was on the same side of the street; the horse's head was turned towards Carlisle bridge. I saw a lady enter the eab ; the gentleman pushed in her clothes and shut the door. The driver had a whitish coat on him. I think I would know the lady or gentleman,—Do you see the gen tleman ? That is the gentleman. (Here the wit ness pointed out Mr. Joly.) I am certain that is the gentleman. By Mr. Kearns—l never saw his worship before; on my oath I was never before a magistrate. I was in Off-lane a fortnight. I was in Samson's lane before that. I was a month there. I was visited before that at my father and mother's. I have left my father and mother about three months. They live in Kilkenny. I will not tell you what I was doing in Sackville-street that night. I had had nothing to drink that night. When I was near Bewley and Evans's, I was standing at a hall door. It was wet. The lights were out at Bewley and Evans's. I think it was a greyish horse that was under the cab. I cannot tell you what kind of harness it was. I cannot tell you the colour of the cab. I never saw the lady and gentleman before. I last saw the prisoner in the Castle-yard, A detec tive asked me if I saw a gentleman and lady take a cab on the night in question. I told him I did, and described the circumstance to him. Mrs. Toler, my mistress, keeps a house for young ladies. (Laughter.) I did not see the Post•office clock that night, but to the best of my belief it was be tween 10 and 11 o'clock. I saw other parties go into cabs that evening. I would not know them again. What attracted my attention to the lady and you ever see any other g en tl eman with a beard that night (pointing to the prisoner) P o them: gentleman Did He's no gentleman , nor you either. (Laughter.) tin question was that I was nearer Mr. Andersen asked to have the case remanded at this stage. His worship said he thought there was evidence sufficient to justify him in remanding the case. The case was then remanded till Friday next. The prisoner has a cadaverous looking face, and appears one of the shabbiest of his order. He is about the middle height. The upper lip protrudes con siderably, giving a sensual animal look to the face. His whiskers consist of a few t u ft s o f san d y h a i r at either side. He wore a lon g w hi t i s h coat. court Sir during some time on the bench. Robert the Peel and Serg ean t M urphy came into hearing of the case, an d remained THE OUTRAGE IN DUBLIN. EXAMINATION BEFORE THE MAGISTRATES. John Curran, hackney-carriage driver 1,148, who was arrested on Friday on suspicion of being the perpetrator of the outrage on Miss Louisa Joly, at Miltown road, on the night of the 27th September, was brought up in custody at the head police office on Saturday, and charged before the presiding ma gistrate with the offence. The magistrate having read the charge, asked him if he had any professional man for him. The prisoner said he had, and that he had three or four witnesses to prove that he was at home be fore ten o'clock on the night in question. Inspectors Craven and Meares sworn and exa mined. Craven said—l had two conversations with the prisoner on Thursday last, and one on Friday. I asked him on Thursday last to account for himself on the night in question. He stated that about nine o'clock he was on the hazard in a lane close to the Exhibition. That he was employed by a lady and gentleman to drive them to Jury's Hotel in College-green; that he stopped opposite the door; the company got out; the gentleman paid him a shilling ; that he did not know whether they en tered the hotel or where they went to, though it was pouring rain at the time ; he stated he left that and went to a hazard at the end of Nassau-street, and while there he was asked to engage by two different persons, but refused the engagement ; that he left that and went home and gave up his cab and horse to Mrs. Connor, the owner of them ; he ar rived at her residence in Stephen's-place at from half-past nine to ten o'clock. He said after giving up his cab he went to his lodgings at Grant's-row, and arrived there as the clock struck ten. I asked him was he in Sackville-street that night. He said he was not that night or that day at any time. I asked him if he had already been spoken to as to the hour at which he arrived. He said that he had. I asked him if he was present when Mrs. Connor made a statement as to the hour at which he had been at her place and gave up the horse and cab. The attorney for the plaintiff said he did not know whether the evidence was regular. Craven said he did not give any caution to the prisoner. He made a simple inquiry, as he would in any other case. The magistrates ordered the evidence to proceed. Examination continued—l asked him if Mrs. Connor had not stated in his presence that he was not home till twelve, or between eleven and twelve that night. He stated that he had heard her say so. I then asked him why he did not con tradict it, and he made no reply. He stated that his aunt, with whom he lodged, could prove that he was in at ten o'clock; and added that as the clock was striking ten she was pulling off his top-coat, which was very wet. I asked him were there any persons in at the time. He said there were two men, but they were in bed at the time. Yesterday when I met him in Stephen's=green, I asked him did he still persist in saying he was not in Saukville-street on the night of the 27th of September. He said he did. He repeated his former statement. I then brought him to where Acting-Inspector Meares was in Baggot-street, and said I had evidence to.prove that he was in Sackville-street ; that he took a lady into his cab, and from that circumstance and other matters it was my duty to make a prisoner of him. By the Magistrate—Acting-Inspector Meares was then present. Examination continued—l took him into custody, and charged him for the offence. I have made in quiry since at Jury's Hotel. Mr. Ley, who appeared on behalf of Mr. Ander son, the Crown Solicitor, asked at the close of the inspector's testimony to remand the prisoner till Thursday. Mr. M'Dermott said the application was prema ture, and quite unprecedented, as there was not even the substance of a charge proved against the prisoner. By the prisoner's attorney—l let him go after the first conversation. I did not take him into custody until I was fully convinced. Meares said he had nothing to say except to cor roborate so much of the evidence of Craven as he was present on the occasion when the prisoner was taken into custody. The witness made a formal information on the point. • Sergeant William Doyle, 20 G, examined—ln consequence of a report of a lady having been assaulted by a cabman on the Miltown-road on the 27th of September, Constable Doyle and I made en. quiries amongst the cabmen. Amongst the rest we took the name of the prisoner and the number of his cab, on the Ist of October. We asked him what time he was home on the night of Friday. He said a quarter after nine. On the 7th Dawson ac companied me to his residence, Grant's-row. We told him it was necessary he should account for his time on the night of the 27th. He said he was in bed at 10 o'clock. We told him we should bring him before Mrs. Connor to test the truth of his statement. We accordingly brought him to Stephen's-place, and I asked her in his presence what time he was home on Friday night. She said she thought it was between eleven and twelve. I asked her whether it was nigher to nine or eleven, and to be particular as to the time. I then asked her did she state to another man that he was not in till two. Sim - said she did, but she recollected her self, but from a circumstance which occurred she recollected it was about eleven. I asked could ho account to me where he was employed between nine and ten that night. He said he was on a hazard in the lane near the exhibition. He said he got a job, and I asked him what job, and ho replied, " A man and woman out of the Exhibition." I asked him where he left them, and he said opposite Jury's Hotel, in Dame• street. He then went to the hazard in Leinster-street, where he got two calls, but did not attend to them. I asked why he went there if he was not to take hire. He said he had earned a good deal of money-9s. or 10s. ; that it was a very bad night, and I am not sure whether he said his horse was tired. By the prisoner's attorney—l asked him who saw him on the hgzard—who was before or behind him, He mentioned a name, but I don't recollect it. I did not take any notice of it. Constable Dawson, 19 G, examined—l recollect having beeti with Doyle the night he mentions. I did not question the prisoner, except on Monday the 7th, in Mrs. Connor's stable. On that day we brought him from his residence at Grant's row, to Mrs. Connor's. We went into the stable. I asked Curran then as to the hour he was home on the night of Friday, the 27th Sep tember. Tie said he was home at ten o'clock, and that his aunt assisted in pulling off his outside coat, which was very wet. I then asked Mrs. Connor in his hearing did she not tell me on the Saturday before that he was not in till after 12; she said she did; it was between 11 and 12. I then asked the prisoner how much money did he earn that day ; he said he earned Bs. or 93. I then asked how much of it did he give up to his employer. He said Bs., an d h i s employer said that he gave up only 7s. or 7 s . 6d . lie then put h im on the driver's seat and drov e hi m to Lincol n - pl ace.him, e go t an d young a te Mr. Joly to see if h e could identify r examining him, he said h e would not swear to f o him.

Yesterday at noon the self-accused murderer, Joseph Seer, was again brought up at the police court. It being generally understood that no fresh evidence would be adduced, very little excitement prevailed, though a large crowd awaited the arrival of the prisoner from Shepton Mallet Gaol. Mr. Tonkins was at first the only magistrate on the bench. Superintendent Deggan said—Since Tuesday I have prosecuted a further inquiry into this case, and more especially with regard to the lace-girl, Maria Staff, but I cannot find any trace of her. I cannot discover any one who has ever seen or heard of her. Mr. Tonkins—The man Payne did not pretend to say that Staff was her real name, but only a nick ' name he had given her. The Superintendent—Just so, your worship. I have visited the adjoining houses in the town, but no ono apppears to know anything at all of the girl. Since Tuesday I have received a letter from a per son, who states that he has been a sergeant in th e 32d: Regiment, and that in the year 1847 there was a man named Sears a private in the regiment while it was in India. This Sears was a most depraved character, and was tried by a general court martial, and sentenced to some years' confinement is Calcutta Gaol, in which place he must have been when this murder was committed in 1851. In consequence of this information I have written to the Under-Secretary for War, to the adju tant of the 32d, at the depot of the regiment at Preston, and also to the writer of the letter. I expect replies in the course of a few days, and I therefore ask your worship to remand the prisoner till this day week. The letter contained a description of the Sears in the 32 Regiment, and stated that he was about sft. 7in. height. Mr. Tonkins directed that the prisoner he placed unthr the standard, and it was found that he was only sft. Sin. He was then remanded. THE NORTH LONDON RAILWAY ACCIDENTS. — We understand that most of the cases of compensation for personal injury sustained in the late accident on the North London Railway, not resulting in death, have been settled for various sums, ranging under £5O each. The company has been very prompt in arranging most of them ; indeed, the fact that many of the claimants were their owil giermuts >laa made the settlements ccuPtuAtilrolY easy. THE B2LSTON MURDER. BILSTON, SATURDAY. When the men were told in their cells that they must go back to Stafford Gaol, they all manifested the utmost reluctance to leave, and the more determined of them refused to come out until the police authorities were about to take the ne cessary steps to compel them, and had given Jones the third pair of trousers. From Bilston to Wolverhampton, where they were put upon the North-Western Railway, they were taken in an omnibus, guarded by Colonel Hogg, and a number of his men. At Wolverhampton, the station was besieged by persons curious to see them go off. The prisoners were given ale and bread and cheese at the cost of the chief constable. Whilst they were partaking of the refreshment, Jukes delivered a "recitation," the subject of which, singularly enough, was the approach of Death to Old Age. Lilley conducted himself with the bravado that has all along characterised him. He impudently and loudly criticised the personal appearance and dress of the different persons who were most prominent in the crowd at the station ; and when the train got into motion ho shouted a good bye and waved biz cap. Jones continued utterly indifferent to any thing that was passing, but Brandrick was begin ning to break down. The train had hardly left the station before he commenced to cry outright, and to remark that he feared he should never again see Bilston, It is not expected that once again in Staf ford Gaol their conduct will be so violent as it was when they were there upon remand. The beha viour of one of them was such that the warder having reported it to the governor, his supper was stopped one night. For this the prisoner swore, as he was leaving Bilston, that on his return he would murder the warder ; and a second, producing an old nail, said, that with that he had ripped up the mattress on which the previous night he had lain in the gaol. Their conduct in the cells has been on a par with this behaviour. The seven had been kept in two cells ; Jones, Brandrick, and Jukes in one ; and the other four prisoners in the other. At about one o'clock on Friday morning the police heard a noise in the cell of the first three, which excited their suspicions. They found that an effort was being made to loosen a brick out of the wall, just beneath the framework of the window, the panes in which they had previously broken, and through which they had thrust their legs. The only implement they could at all have procured was the handle of a can, but even this could not be found. During the remainder of the night a guard was placed outside the cell. THE ALLEGED MURDER AT STIRLING SINGULAR PROCEEDINGS. The Scotsman says :—" It was stated last week that a woman named Jane Peters had died suddenly early on the morning of Wednesday, the 2d inst., under suspicious circumstances, in consequence of which a woman named Christina Peters, a sister of the deceased, and a man named Andrew Johnston, who lived with the latter, had been apprehended and lodged in Stirling prison. It appears on in vestigation by the authorities, that there had not been evidence sufficient to warrant them in taking criminal proceedings against either of the parties, and they were accordingly liberated from prison on Wednesday evening. A strong feeling prevailed against the female prisoner in consequence of her name having been associated with the proceedings in connection with the Bathgate murder some years ago. On liberation from prison, Christina Peters and Johnston proceeded to the house which they pre viously occupied at a part of the Castle-hill leading to Ballangeich—a wretched hovel of small dimen sions, an consisting apparently of only one room and a small closet. On arriving at their old quarters, between eight and nine o'clock, the woman Peters was speedily recognised, and a number of persons soon collected, who proceeded to eject them summarily from the domicile. The crowd rapidly increased, and Johnston ran seeking protection to the doors of the prison, where he could not, of course, be ad mitted, but made his escape elsewhere. In the meantime, the woman Peters was pursued by some hundreds of persons; but by doubling and running actively she escaped through a close, and found re fuge in the Burgh Police-office. Here a crowd as sembled ; but after a brief interval the greater por tion proceeded to her house in the Castle-hill,where demolition of the building was commenced by the mob, and by one o'clock on Thursday morning it had been all but levelled with the ground. In the forenoon of Thursday a number of boys completed the work of destruction. The woman Peters re mained for protection in the police -office all night." THE SUICIDE A 7 THE STEPNEY R eLIL IVA Y S TAT lON. On Saturday a great many persons waited upon Mr. Pemble, the beadle of Rateliff, for the purpose of identifying the body of a fbreigner, who commit ted suicide on Friday evening, by flinging himself in front of the:Tilbury and Southend express train, which left the Fenchurch-street station at half-past 4 o'clock. The deceased had been on the platform for 5 or 6 minutes before the train approached, and directly it reached the station he raised his arms, put himself in the attitude of a man about to dive into the water, and threw himself on to the railway, to the horror and astonishment of the bystande,rs. His body was terribly mangled, which rendered identification very difficult. No one recognised the deceased. Pemble found in the deceased's pockets a small pocketbook, worked in coloured beads, which had been crushed while the train was pass ing- over him, and a small purse. There was no money in the purse. From inquires made by Pem ble, the deceased, it appears, was quite destitute. His name is Legon, a native of Germany, and he arrived in England about three weeks since. The deceased was a mechanical draughtsman, and had sought employment at several engineering Erms in London, and was unsuccessful. The want of em ployment, and the prospect of starvation before him, caused him to commit suicide. The deceased had been in a low and desponding state for several days. TILE LATE LORD FOR7'H-A SAD STORY Some additional particulars with regard to the late Lord Forth and the lady with whom he was living and died, to those which appeared at the in quest, have been elicited. The deceased was born at Naples in 1834, and in 1853 he was appointed to an ensigncy in the 42d Regiment, which, however, it appears he left in the following year. Report asserts that he went to the Crimea, and, not relish ing " the pomp and circumstances of glorious war," or rather the peril, he speedily abandoned the mili tary life for other pursuits. In 1853 he married the eldest daughter of the Hon. Adolphus Capel, piece of the Earl of Essex. Th e sa d eventful_ history of their marriage life was told, the viscountess herself being the narrator, to Sir Cresswell Creswell, early in the present year. Lady Forth petitioned for a dissolution of her marriage on account of Lord Forth's adultery, and for a judicial separation on account of his cruelty ; but the application was re sisted by the Queen's Proctor, on the ground of col lusion and the adultery of the lady herself. it ap peared from Lady Forth's evidence, and that of her mother, that during three years they lived together their daily life, from the day after the marriage, was one of drunkenness and brutality on the part of the husband towards his wife, her sisters, brothers, and even his own child, an infant. During the whole of that time he seems to have contributed not a farthing towards his own maintenance, but was supported by his wife's father and mother; and at last he became so outrageOus that they parted:com pany, we believe, in 1858, and Lady Forth never saw him afterwards. Some time after his departure Lady Forth seems to have formed an acquaintance with a Mr. Dering, and to have visited the United. States with him ; and on the ground of this inti macy her divorce was upset. Nor is the history of Mrs. Drummond, or rather Mrs. Lloyd, the lady who has been living with Lord Forth, as his wife, and who di e d w ith him, a whit less sad, if the statements respecting her which have gained currency are true. She was the only daughter and heiress of a gentleman of property and a magistrate for the county of Hereford, resid ing near Leominster. When about twenty she fell to the seductive will of a scion of a noble house, and had two children, who are now living with her father. Subsequently she appeared to become peni tent, and after a time she was married to a man named Lloyd, by whom it is said she had two more children, who are now also living with her father. Lloyd was in debt, and having married a lady of property was sued by his creditors, and found his way to the Queen's Bench, where Lord Forth had also found a local habitatiin and a name. Mrs. Lloyd visited her husband in the bench, an inti macy sprang up between her and Lord Forth, and on his liberation they joined company, and have lived together ever since. The remains of Mrs. Lloyd are to be taken to the family vault for interment. At the inquest the surgeon said her death was attributable to natural causes, apart from her recen t co nfinement. Those " natural causes" are said to have been intemper ance. She was at the time of her death only 28 years of age. The Earl of Perth, it is said, has directed that Lord Forth shall be " decently interred" et Glou cester.—Bristol Mercury. The admirers of Elizabeth Barrett Browning will be glad to hear that she has left behind her a number of unpublished poems. They are being prepared for the press, and a volume of them will probably bo published Abotit cluistnam. RUMOURED REDUCTION OF TEE ARIJI.F. We are glad that the rumour to which we alluded a fortnight since, respecting the project of using the strength and efficiency of the volunteers as an argument for the reduction of the regular army, has been so well met by the volunteers themselves. From the many private communications we have received, of which we insert one merely as a sample of the general feeling, and the public declarations of the officers, we feel certain that if any such step were taken by the authorities the falling off in the volunteer ranks would be so great as effectually to destroy the force of the argument. In his speech to the Liverpool Volunteers Col. M'Murdo repudiates the idea. If he had done so a little less boldly he would have given us more comfort. From the way in which he ridicules it, we are afraid our excellent Inspector of Volunteers does not know how much the idea had approached the formidable dimensions of a distinct proposal, although we think he must have known that several months ago a proposition made by one of his own country corps to relieve the local regular garrison of their duty was seriously entertained and deliberated upon. When we speak of the last idea in the pluperfect tense we by no means seek to imply that it is allover, although we hope that the general expression of public opinion which has taken place will not be without its effect. But as yet we are not altogether easy. If practical men like Col. M'Murdo were allowed to influence such questions we should be more confident ; but in the present day economy and its representatives rule over generals of all kinds. Recruiting is en tirely stopped. At first we hear that it is only done to allow the army—whose numbers were unduly swollen by the return home of several regiments, and by the new Indian depot arrangements—to be brought down to the dimensions contemplated in the estimates of 1861-62. Then we are told that the extra expense of maintaining so many thou sand men above the establishment in the early part of the year will oblige us to lower our military strength to a similar extent below oar Establishment in the latter portion, so that the estimate for the whole 12 months may not be ex ceeded. If this be so, the reduction in a financial sense will be more than neutralised by the expense of bringing the army up to the old strength next year, while in a military sense the effect will be much worse. We earnestly trust that a permanent reduction is not contemplated in the present aspect of affairs over the world. We should be glad to be able to speak a word of positive assurance to the contrary, but at present we cannot with perfect truth do so.—Army and Navy Gazette. -~ ~ :., THE POPE'S ALLOCU2ION. We hope that in the arrangements, which cannot be far distant, for remodelling the condition of the Papacy provision will be made in the interests of religion and decorum for suppressing altogether the thing called an " Allocution. ' That a prelate, the head of a large religious body, of venerable age, and in a position which binds him to the most dignified calmness, the greatest candour, and the most scru pulous accuracy in all he says, should assemble together a number of grave ecclesiastics substanti ally of the same way of thinking as himself, and be fore this select and sympathising audience should give vent to .the utmost rage, envy, and malice, should indulge himself to the utmost in evil speak ing, lying, slandering, should invoke the heaviest cusses on the heads of his enemies, and do all this with the pretence of infallibility and in the name of a religion of mercy and forgiveness, is an intolerable outrage upon all decency, and a standing reproach and scandal to the profession and practice of Chris tianity. It may be said that such things are but the outbreaks of senile irritability, and that we give too much weight to them when we hold them up to the reprobation of mankind, but we by no means entertain this opinion. Words are things, and the words of one who claims to be the infallible Vicegerent of Heaven and the Vicar of Christ upon earth, and has that claim allowed by countless millions of his fellow-creatures, are things of tor , much consequence t o b e li g htl y flung al"-‘oad. Things that might not be worthyof very P' rioUs re prehension if spoken by a drunken Pr quarrelling 4' endarme quarrelling with a French soldier' a .p lto l g man caba ret are inexpressibly unbew ng and even revolt ing,when clothed in thP . 11, theological style which has become traditions' the utmost dr". to the Papacy, and uttered with beration, with the intenti on t o d e l u d e, to l dand , excite the pas s i ons o f man ki nd. I . ll were are we to seek for truth if it be not from the lips of the infallible ? Where are we to hope for meekness if it be denied to the Vicegerent of Christ ? Can we expect the Christian virtues to propagate themselves among the flock when they are thus ostentatiously repudiated by the shepherd ? The Pope is a contemporary of the Italian Revo lution ; he has more Means than most persons of ascertaining the truth concerning it. It is impossi ble for any one who reads his' recent Allocution to acquit him of the gravest suppression of the truth and the most unblushing assertion of what is false. Let us take a specimen of the latter first :—" And here" he says,—that is, when descending from the interests of religion to the state of his Exchequer, —" we cannot pass over in silence the constant tes timonies of real affection, of unflinching fid e li ty, of devoted submissidn, and of generous liberality which this Roman people have lavished on us, and we wish also to point out how much they remain firmly attached to us, to this Apostolic See, and to the tem poral power which belongs to us, and with what warmth they repel and condemn the guilty attempts of those who seek to spread disturbance among them. Have not you yourselves, venerable brethren, frequently witnessed the sincere and cordial mani festations by which this Roman people, whom we so much love, have shown the sentiments of thef ir traditional faith—of that faith which so ;justly merits the highest praises ?" We wondf, r if th e venerable brethren looked each other in the face during the delivery of this appeal,P.:nd, if so, whether they were able altogether to invo luntary twitchin g about 11- r; s l a t a certain de corners of the mouth when they were assur ed, on the authority of their infallible head, of the affection, fidelity, submission, and attache' :ent to the temporal power of this Roman people. at* , and the warmth with w hi c h th ey repe l a ll Tempts at disturbance. A considerable force of Papal soldiers, and a division of the French army, which they know can be increased in a few hours to any amount that is required, are barely sufficient to keep this Roman people from treating the Pope and his brethren very much as the Jews did the Prophets of Baal. The fact is notorious to all the world, and to no one more so than the Pope him self. Those who would maintain his character must henceforth be prepared to prove, not, as they have hitherto striven to do, that the Roman people are led away by agitators and incendiaries, but, in direct contradiction to this hitherto received opinion, that the Roman people repel and condemn with warmth the guilty attempts of those who seek to spread dis turbance among them ; that, in fact, Rome has no wish to become the metropolis of Italy, but desires to remain, as heretofore, the seat of the temporal power of the Pope. No doubt, this ought to be so ; no doubt, those who see most of the Papal domina tion ought most to appreciate its merits ; but is this the fact ? Is not the Pope perfectly aware that it is directly the reverse ? Let him try the experiment. We aro perfectly convinced that the Piedmontese Government will be quite willing to leave matters to the arbitration of the Roman people. Let the French garrison be by all means withdrawn, and the destiny of the te m p ora l power b e l e f t to the decision of its subjects. The Pope well knows that if such a measure were announced there is not one of the vene rable brethren whom he addressed who would remain within the walls of the Eternal City a single night. Such statements are made for foreign consumption ; there is no demand for them in the home market. There can be but one motive, unhappily, for ti a k.. hie- them. The Pope is living on the contribiations of the faithful, and those contributions may very pos. sibly be increased if it once comes tr., be believed that he is really the object of the affr.,ction and vene ration of his subjects. It is a fl"dancial expedient, but one neither novel nor creditable. pltne q_ueexoe. l We may take as a secone, in s t ance th e deliberate statement that the greate r p ar t o f t h e towns of ted to plain h the kingdom of Naples have b een b urnt and destroyed. o i f 'h f i a s c zo a m nd at i t t er w o o f ul d d o v c e tr r i y ne nju i e t h is a n s ion ration of the Pope's character for veracity he would direct Cardinal A n t onell i to furnish to t o the world the names of the towns and and t to those which have not undergone a similar fate. A • gain the Pope says that in the kingdom of Naples the majority of the faithful have been deprived of their pastors. Is that true? Is it true that in N ap es the legitimate liberty and property of every on e foundations of famil y ties and of are attacked, th e civil society are ruined, the reputation of every virtuous person is blackened by false accusations a the impunity of all vices and all errors is n increased ? Yes, there is so"rished proaated, and whom has this been , _me truth in this; but by done Not by the great and criminal rebellion on which but by the hordes of the Pope charges miscreants whom the King of Naples and the Papal Government have, day by day, let loose to the people of Naples, the 9biggtg of as much hypco- critical sympathy. It is worthy of the rest of the rest of the Allocution that from first to last not the slightest mention is tmade of these outrages, and that the world is led to believe that the bishops and priests who have been expelled from their sees and their parishes have suffered for conscience' sake, and not as participators in the reactionary conspi racy to the promotion of which the much-injured Government of Rome has lent the most energetic assistance. After the fair and true expose of the state of his affairs which the Pope has just laid before them, it is forbidden to doubt that the faithful all over the world will lighten with the most ardent zeal, by their pious and spontaneous donations, the very grave embarrassments of the Holy See. Let them not fear that their money will be wasted ; there is much yet to be done during the coming win ter in the way of plundering, murdering, and burn ing, —many happy homes that have not yet been desolated, many harmless men and women who have not yet undergone the extremities of outrage. The Holy See does not now waste its treasures in pomps and processions, in luxury and feasting. Ostentation has given way to revenge, and blood is now sweeter than wine. All this is as it should be. The temporal power of the Popes might have fallen, lik e o th er war lik e d ynast i es, w i t h dignity, but it di es as i t h as l i ved. T h i s sys tematic enemy o f th e lib ert i es o f man ki nd di es with the complai n t o f v i o l ated l ib erty on her l i ps, uttering falsehoods of incredible and shameless grossness, with the torch of the incendiary in one hand and the dagger of the assassin in the other. It has surrounded its inevitable fate with every circumstance which could alienate from it the sy pathy and respect of mankin d.—Tinzes. THE QUEEN IN BADENOCH. The Inverness Courier says :—" Her Majesty has this week made a tour through some of the finest scenery in the counties of Inverness and Perth. On Tuesday the Royal party, consisting of the Queen, the Prince Consort, Prince Louis of Hesse, General Grey, &c., left Balmoral for Glenfeshie, travelling part of the way on horseback. Having crossed the hills, the party got into carriages at Kingussie, ordered from the hotel there, but without any name being mentioned. Her Majesty was recognised but no announcement was made until the party had left the village. Rooms had been ordered at Dalwhinnie, and her Majesty, the Prince Consort, and suite passed the night at the homely but comfortable highland inn of Mr. Puller. Cluny Macpherson having learned that the Queen was in Badenoch, summoned a meeting of the volunteers, seventy-two of whom mustered ; and they were ordered to repair to Dalwhinnie toll-bar by seven o'clock next morn ing. To accomplish this many had to march a die.. tance of from 20 to 30 miles, and none of them less I perhaps than a dozen miles. At nine o'clock, her Majesty appeared at the door of the inn, when the volunteers formed an imposing guard of honour round the carriage and presented arms. Her Ma jesty graciously acknowledged the compliment, and the Prince Consort entered into conversation with Cluny. His Royal Highness said the Queen de sired to travel incognito, but having been intormed of the distance which the volunteers had travelled, and witnessing their loyal enthusiasm, her Majesty expressed her gratification at the devotion of the Highlanders. The band of the company then struck up the national anthem, and the volunteers cheered. lustily as the carriage drove off. The event created! a great excitement in the neighbourhood. The royal party drove to Blair, where the Duke of Atholl was in waiting to escort them through Glen- Tilt to Mar Lodge, whence they returned to Baty moral." COUN2.RY MARKETS. NORWICH-Om 12.
