The Government, therefore, did wisely in selecting a person conver sant with political economy to investigate this subject, and the result will amply repay, in use fulness, its cost. People must not expect to find in the reports an account of the French financial system in general, for the investigation of this was not committed to Dr. BO%VItING, but merely an explanation of the character and working of the financial accounts of France in detail. This he has done in great perfection, and those who peruse the reports will not fail to be struck with the uniformity of the French sys tem ; the completeness and efficiency of its ma chinery ; and the facility with which the whole is made to centralize in the department of the Treasury. The authority cited of M. LAFITTE, who stated, " that he believed the present French system to be scarcely susceptible of melioration," is doubly valuable from his double experience as a Minister and a man of business ; and we heartily hope to see the day when a system equally effi cient, regular, and clear, will be substituted for the loose, irregular, and obscure manner in which our public accounts are at present kept. We subjoin some extracts from the second of these two reports referred to : . . . " The system of book-keeping adopted by an indivi dual or a Government, though only in fact the history of financial operations, is very closely connected with the operations themselves. The business of receipt and dis bursement into which the whole subject may be divided, will be greatly influenced by the manner in which the operations are arranged with a view to their record in the Books of Account. The elements of all accounts are facts—the facts must in every case h'ave some docu mentary representative—and it is only when they assume a document...y shape that they become susceptible of transfer to those receptacles which are called the Books of Account. Whenever Government has a claim on another party, a demand must be made in some form of notice or other, and the record of that demand becomes the first element in an account of- receipts. When the payment is really effected, the record of that payment is the second element of account ; and these two circum stances, of claim and payment, which are represented by the assessment (droits constatds), and the recovery (droits perc•us) become the facts which a good system of book keeping will group in the most concise, complete, and intelligible manner, under the d fferent heads of income. So, in the case of claims against the Government for services performed by parties, and of responsibilities in curred by the Government authorities, notice in some shape or other must be given to Government, of the na ture and amount of that claim, and the responsibility consequent upon it. The claim is either admitted or re jected ; if admitted, the record of the admission becomes the first element t) be transferred to the account books. The second stage is the order for payment, which must be issued in some way, so as to give information to the claimant ; and the record of such information given is another element of account. But the transaction is not completed till the payment is toads, and of that 'payment notice must be given by the payer ; the record of which notice becomes the third and final element for completing the account of the transaction. Every stage of operation is thus a stage of account, hearing with it its appro priate record. The necessity of taking cognizance of three stages in all matters of disbursement, and of only two in matters of receipt, in the business of public accounts, is this—that a Government recognises no step between the claim and the payment of its demand. It is the fact of payment that discharges the debt ; but in the case of a claim upon a Government, when that claim is admitted, and the order for payment issued, the issue of the order for payment to the individual is the discharge of the Govern ment as towards that individual, though in its accounts with the public the Government, or the Department, cannot debit the public for the amount until the amount is actually paid. These records, then, being, according to established usages, transferred chronologically to such books as are employed for their reception, are the elements out of which the public accounts are to be created ; and the great object of inquiry is, in what manner they ca❑ be best arranged, so as to present their results in the most satisfactory shape. To present them in their multitu dinous individuality, is obviously iMpracticable ; the science of book-keeping has been applied to the arrange. ment of them under appropriate heads, both with reference to the time of their occurrence and their distinguishing character ; and it is obvious that no result can be satis factory in which this arrangement blends facts of a dif ferent character under the same head, or facts of the same character under different beads. In the one case there would be confusion ; in the other, diffuseness ; in bath, liability to error. Hence, it is clear, that in no case should the facts of a claim be blended with the fact of a pay ment ; they are distinct circumstances, and must occupy distinct positions. Hence again, accounts of one period must not be confounded with the accounts of another period ; and when the objects are accomplished, of bring ing every financial fact under the bead to which it belongs, and within the portion of time to which it belongs, by a lucid and uniform system, little will remain for the public accountant but to centralize his materials, in order to offer, in the most compact form, a correct tabular view of the whole financial situation of the State. " The important preliminary, then, to the harmonious arrangement and final centralization of the public ac counts, is the registration of all the facts, in the order and under the dates in which they occur, and with a special regard to the character of the fact itself. No ac counts can be clear, which do not present the facts of account in their real shape and regular order. No estimate must be confounded with a receipt or a disburse ; no contingency, with an established claim ; no claim, with an order for payment : no order for payment, with the payment itself. Your Lordships will have seen that, for the purpose of keeping the different stages of the accounts of France separate and distinguishable, the business of examination and the business of payment are held to be incompatible. The separation of the attributes of different departments, leads of necessity to the separation of opera tions, and the separation of operations to distinctness in recording those operations. But the business of operation and the business of record go on together until the admi nistrative part is completed. The general department of accounts of the central administration of finance then re ceive s the registered facts from the various sources of in formation, and arranges the whole so as to represent the financial situation of the country." " Under these different heads I shall endeavour to de velope the system now in operation in France. " I have stated, that the Double Entry system has been adopted in France as the best and completest instrument for giving efficiency to the different principles on which the financial records of France are grounded : and of these principles, the power of controul exercised by the Legislature over the whole field of service, is entitled to the primary consideration." The following are extracts from Brussels and German Papers received this morning : BRUSSELS, OCT. 27.—Pour ordinances of the King prescribe the formation of local Boards of Health in several towns of the provinces of Brabant, Antwerp, East Flan ders, and Limburg. The monetary system will be laid be fore the Chambers according to at tide 74 of the Consti tution, and that very shortly. The decimal system will be introduced, the unit being of the value of a franc, and to be called a livre. There will be in silver also half livres, and no other silver coin : in gold there will be pieces of ten and tweitty livres ; in copper of ten centimes and of two centimes, representing our ancient liard. At pre sent there are to be no pieces of forty, five, and two livres, as being less necessary. Yesterday four mercantile expresses, all from Paris, arrived here with despatches from Brussels, Antwerp, an d Amsterdam. The Journal of the province of Liege sass, " It is re ported that news has been received to-night at the citadel that the Dutch have made a movement in advance, and that 5,000 men are marching towards Venloo." Neither the Politique nor the Courrier de la Meuse mention thi s fact. Lord W. Russell, attached to the English Legation, ar rived here yesterday from London. The army of the north will not be dissolved. This army is about 80,000 strong. About 40,000 men will remain in their cantonments on our frontiers, ready to enter Belgium at the first summons. ' The remainder of the army returns into the interior of France. Our private letters inform us that the Dutch, since the inundations they have made in Zealand, have withdrawn all the troops, except 400 men, and have sent them to other places; that the garrison of Antwerp has been rein- lotted, and that land troops have been put on board the fleet in the Scheldt, which was lately inspected by a Rus sian Admiral. Official news has been• received at Konigsberg that the Russian Government has granted an amnesty and permis sion to return to Poland, to the subalterns and privates of the Polish corps of Gielgud, Chrapo vski, Rohland, and Rybinski, who took refuge in Prussia, so that their de parture will soon be regulated. BREDA, Nov. 20.—1 f we may believe the reports in circulation here our troops will take up positions farther from the frontiers, and go into winter quarters on the 25th. There will certainly be a change in their canton ments at that time. It is said that some Belgian lancers appeared a few days ago on our frontiers, but without any hostile intention, as it seems, for they retired as soon as they discovered they were on our territory. A traveller just arrived from Paris tells us that at the moment of his departure it was reported that there were serious disturbances at Tours. As he passed through Valenciennes, he learnt that the army of the, North had just received orders to march towards Paris. BRUSSELS, Nov. 29.—1 n the Chamber of Representa tives yesterday the order of the day was the consideration of the project of the restoration of the Committee of In quiry into the causes of the disasters of our late campaign. A very long and stormy debate ensued, when all the mem bers who had inscribed their names to speak having de livered their sentiments, except M. Nonvant, who de. dined, it was observed that the debate ought to be closed. A long and acrimonious altercation ensued, and it was finally resolved to adjourn the debate. ANTWERP, Nov. 28.—The Comet corvette, and the Zeeuw, of 90 guns, have been taken in tow by two steam boats, and will be at Flushing this afternoon. The .Eury dice frigate left Lillo this afternoon, and the gun-boats, 10 in number, which were always at anchor before the city, have taken a position against the Dike near the Tete de Flandres. Thus all our alarms on the movements of the squadron which have so often menaced us are dispelled. ST. PETERSBURGII, Nov. 12.—8 y an imperial order of the day of the 6th instant, his Majesty has restored General Jermaloff to active service. The general military Governor of St. Petersburgh has received from Moscow, from a person unknown to him, who desires to remain anonymous, the sum of 100,000 rubles, to be distributed among the inhabitants of St. Pe tersburgh who have sustained Losses by the cholera.

It is thought he will go to Egypt, as the son of the Viceroy, Ibrahim Pacha, is going to marry one of his sisters. VIENNA, Nov. IS. Nov. 19. Five per Cents. Four per Cents.

There remain 226 patients. By the latest Paris express we learn that the city of Lyons was still in the hands of the insurgent operatives, and that Marshal SOULT and the Duke of ORLEANS arrived on Mon day last at Trevaux, where, in concert with Ge neral ROGUET, they concerted measures for the reduction of the insurgents. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CLOCK. Accounts from the Hague state that the King of Hol land made use of the following words to a person there of high distinction :—" I confide in Providence, in my just rights, and shall continue firm to the list extremity. The blood of Nassau still flows in my veins, and the brave and faithful people over whom I reign will act according to my wishes; besides, what confidence can I have in the new treaties, when they have violated the former ones ?" It is asserted that in case Holland should be attacked by a foreign Power, the whole of that country will be in• undated, and the town of Antwerp reduced to ashes. The accounts from Paris state that the arrests there were owing to a manuscript letter without a signature being found, which contained a project to place the Duke of Reichstaflt on the throne of France. Berlin accounts of the 17th Nov., state that the King of Prussia sent a note to the Emperor of Russia, demand. ing the payment of the maintenance of the Polish army. The Emperor of Russia refused to comply or acknowled ge the debt, saying why did the King of Prussia receive the Poles in his territory ? THE FUNDS. The only arrival of consequence this morning is from Bombay, one month later, but as yet no Papers have come to hand. The express from Paris leaves us still in the dark in re gard to the final settlement of affairs at Lyons, by which one would imagine that the negociations had not come to a final settlement. Consols, which left off yesterday at 83-1- for account, opened at 83k. At present they are 83a A-, with little doing. HALF-PAST ONE. We hear that accounts are in town front Paris stati ng that the Duke of Orleans has entered Lyons, and was re ceived with great acclamations by the people. A report has just been made up at the Stock Exchange that an express has arrived with an account that the Go vernment troops have been defeated in an attack made on the heights of Lyons. We do not believe this report, which is evidently got up for stock-jobbing purposes. There is a rumour of two commercial failures this morning in the city. Consols have been fluctuating during the morning from S3i to 83ii for the ALcount, but at present may be quoted at t3S- : 1, for money SS/a.

CHOLERA 1110R13US. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The general belief in this town is that the Mayor of Newcastle was premature in writing as he did to the Privy Council on Sun day last, that a case of spasmodic cholera had occurred in Newcastle. It is not for a moment to be denied or concealed that a case had made its appearance on Saturday,' the 26th of No vember, as stated in my letter of yesterday, of a description. I may add, indeed, th a t suspicious the Mayor received a letter from Dr. i\l"\Vhirter, a physician in this town, announcing it to be a case of spasmodic cholera. Still there are many other physicians in Newcastle, and several sur geons, quite as competent to give an opinion on the subject as Dr. M' Whirter ; why were they not consulted, before so important a step was taken ? Some of the symptoms of the deceased Robert Jordan during life, and the appearances pre sented in the examination after death, no doubt resembled those of spasmodic cholera, but there were other symptoms and appearances which differed from it. I am quite aware that some professional gentlemen say that it may still be a case of spasmodic cholera, as all the symptoms do not occur in every case, but some in one and some in another. Suffer me to remark, Sir , that to say of a case which presents any one or two symptoms of this disease, while several others are wanting, that it is a case of Asiatic or malignant cholera, is calculated to lead to error and deception. Cramps or spasms there no doubt were in this case of Jordan, but cramps or spasms he had often had before. This is attested by all his family. His wife, or rather widow, who it must be admitted is weak in her intellect, declares that her husband was so afflicted with cramps the first night they were married, upwards of thirty years ago, that he was obliged to get out of bed. By this time the whole of the circumstances of the case are before the Central Board of Health in London, for their decision, as to the character of the complaint. There is, I freely acknowledge, ground for suspicion, so that the Collector of the Customs of this port can no longer say, " there is not the slightest suspicion of cholera," in the certificates he has been for some time giving to masters of coasting vessels on their clearing. But in conclusion, allow me to observe, that if this be a case of Asiatic or spasmodic cholera, it comes with different accompaniments than it is known - to appear with in other places. It made its appearance at one o'clock, P.m. on Saturday, Nov. 26 : it is now eight o'clock, P.M. on Tuesday, the 29th November, and no other similar, or in any degree suspicious, case has oc curred. The Government therefore should pause before it deranges the trade of this great commercial town toy subjecting its ships to quarantine restrictions. They have given up sending us the official reports from Sunderland. This we owe to Dr. Barry, I am, Sir, yours truly, A MEMBER OF THE NEWCASTLE BOARD OF HALTH. Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Nov. 29. EDINBURGH, Nov. 28. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUE. SIR,-The meeting of Anti-Reformers which was held Here this day will, no doubt, be trumpeted forth by the party as the most complete proof that a re-action has taken place in this city. This may have the effect of imposing upon persons residing at a distance ; but to the inhabi tants of Edinburgh, who witnessed the whole proceedings, such observations will only furnish matter for ridicule. The meeting, although more numerously attended, was of precisely the same exclusive character as that held in the Hopetoun-rooms, upon the requisition of the same party, about nine mouths ago. The meeting being called a public one, to express inter alia attachment to the King and Constitution, the inhabitants of all opinions were under stood to be invited to join in this expression of loyalty and patriotism ; but the Antis becoming alarmed that they might be outshone in these declarations, took precautionary measures to secure to themselves the undivided honour of such avowal. A great part of the requisitionists con sisted of bankers, and the attorneys of old Tory land owners, and having numerous detachments of clerks, de termined that there should be no risk of the orators spouting to empty benches. A circular was sent round to all the requisitionists, calling upon them to appear at eleven or twelve o'clock, at the private door of the as sembly-room, and to bring their friends along with them. So well was this call attended to, that a ei-devant Bailie took the field with a tail of a round dozen of f r i en d s . Besides this mode of keeping the assembly select, the Antis published a placard in the morning, intimating that it had reached their ears that some of the Reforming party were to be so ill-mannered as to attempt to improve upon the resolutions by moving amendments, but that these amending gentlemen being known to them, they had given orders that they should be refused admittance to the sanctum of the Antis. _ ----- The greater part of the inhabitants were unaware of this conservative measure, and a number presented them selves at the doors at the hour, and when the doors were opened, it was announced by those in autho rity, that the room was already filled. It was after wards ascertained that the requisitionists and their friends, to the number of eight hundred, had been admitted by the back door, previous to the ceremony of opening the front door. In order to allay the anger and disappointment of the multitude assembled outside, Mr. Aytoun, Advocate, addressed them, recommending order ; and he mentioned that but for the paltry exclusive arrangements of the An ti-Reformers, he meant to have submitted a series of re solutions, which he then read, and which were carried unanimously with great acclamation. Three cheers were then given for the King, and three groans for the Anti- Reformers ; and in five minutes afterwards not a dozen of the whole five thousand people assembled in the street were to be seen in the neighbourhood of the assembly-rooms. The Duke and Duchess of NORTHUMBER LAND, with some visiters of rank, are participating in the splendid hospitalities of Alnwick Castle, where his Grace intends to remain until the new year. The Duchess, on her return from the North, will resume her attendance on her illustrious charge, the Princess VICTORIA. The studies of the Heiress Presumptive are at present directed by the Dean of Chester (Dr. D.tvvs), who has resumed his avocations at Kensington and Claremont since ber Royal Highness has returned from the Isle of Wight. WILD SWANS.—Seveval of these majestic birds were seen hovering about the neighbourhood of Kelso-bridge during Tuesday and Wednesday. They were seen three or four together, and from their great weight and size, alternately floating about in the air and o❑ the river, had a very imposing appearance.

COMMON COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY.) A Court was held this morning for the despatch of city business. As some discussion was expected op the subject of the construction of new London•bridge, the Court was fully attended. Among the notices of motion on the paper was one " to consi ler the report of the London-bridge Committee, relative to the bridge, and for forming a new street from the East end of Cannon-street, to the West end of Cornhill." Some discussion took place upon a notice of a motion, given by Mr. WILLIAMS, to the effect, as was understood, that no citizen should be a member of the Court, who had been bankrupt, or had not paid 20'. in the p und. Mr. Roam considered it of the highest importance that the standing orders relative to this subject should be considered. The future respectahility and character of the Court depended upon an immediate decision. He hoped the Lord Mayor would call an early Court to consider the question. A petition was presented from merchants, traders, and others, residing east of London-bridge, praying that some wider approaches might he made to the new bridge. Owing to the narrowness of the streets in the direc tion alluded to, particularly Little Eastcheap, and the great increase of the traffic between the St. Catherine, London, and other Docks, and the West end of the town, great inconvenience had arisen. Since the passage over old London-bridge had been stopped the greatest inconvenience had been experienced, and he hoped that the London-bridge Committee would consider the necessity of giving to the merchants and others a bet ter means to carry on the great traffic which exists with the docks. He hoped the Court would refuse every appli cation to Parliament for further powers to make ap proaches to the bridge, unless the prayer of the petition was complied with. The petition was referred to the New London-bridge Committee, for them to consider the subject, and report, after some remarks from other members of the Court, on the great injury done to the cattle, property, &c., by the crowded state of the narrow streets east of Graceehosch street. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY., ROSS V. SHAW AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover compensation in damages fora false imprisonnient, and in jury done to his character, in being publicly arrested and taken through the streets in custody as a felon. It ap peared that the plaintiff was charged by the defendant Brown with horse stealing, on which charge he was im prisoned all night and taken before a magistrate next morning, where the case was supported by the defendant Shaw. The magistrate, however, dismissed the ch trge, and discharged the plaintiff, at the same time telling him that he had a good ground of action against the defendant. These facts were proved by three witnesses. The defence set up was that the defendant Shaw had a horse in the stables of a person named Bailey, who had it in use. Shaw had said to the present plaintiff, who is a hackney-coachman, that when Bailey was done with the horse he might have it for his keep for a while. The plaintiff accordingly took the horse from Bailey's stables without further leave from Shaw, and he being advised by Brown, who was a constable, had Ross arrested on the charge of stealing the horse and harness. The matter was settled on condition that Ross should pay for the hire of both. Brown, however, was not satisfied, but had the plaintiff up before the Magistrate, when he was dis charged in consequence of Shaw's not appearing. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL in reply contended that, if Shaw had not made the charge, Brown would not have arrested the plaintiff, and of course both were liable. The Learned JUDGE having summed up, the Jury re turned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 301. GALL V. HUNTER. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a teacher of languages, &c., to recover the amount due to him for teaching the defendant, who is a surgeon, Latin, and his son mathematics and the use of the globes. The defendant's son was made a witness for the plaintiff. He deposed that he had received lessons from the plaintiff, but bad never seen his father receive sny. Sometimes he had seen his father take up Cicero, when a conversation ensued between him and Mr. Gall. On the cross-examination it was proved that the plain tiff had come to the defendant's house in consequence of a cough under which he laboured. Subsequently, he was frequently not merely prescribed for, but was actually fur nished with medicine, which the defendant had to send out for. Mr. WILLIAms, for the defendant, contended that there never was any contract between the parties—that it was merely a mutual obligation on both sides, that the plain tiff should teach the defendant's son in return for his pre scription, &c. He hoped for a verdict for the defendant. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 121. odd. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) THOMAS V. THE MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY. This case, which for souse time has excited so much public interest, was to come on for trial this morning, it being No. 6 of the Special Jury paper. Mr. Serjeant Jones, who had been retained for the Noble defendant, and Mr. Serjeant Wilde for the plaintiff, were in Conrt. However the cause was not called on, as it had been settled out of - . Court, the Noble Marquis having made a hand some compensation to the plaintiff, and agreeing to pay all costs. SLATER V. HARDING. This case, which was an action of trespass, was called on for trial, when Mr. Serjeant Russell applied to the Court to allow the cause to st4nd over for a few days, owing to the absence of a material witness, who had been on the Continent, and was now detained at the port of Hull, but was expected to arrive in London in a few days.

It is with feelings of deep regret we communi cate to our readers the following details of a dreadful rencontre between the peasantry and the police, as sisted by a body of soldiers, at the Cioneen Turn pike -gate, eight miles from this toWn, Pad three from Castlecomer, in the county of Kikenny, From en quiries made on the spot we learn that on Tuesday last, the police arrested in that neighbourhood, eight persons charged with whiteboyism, or whitefootism, Ind took seven stand of arms. Strange to say, no magistrate could be found at his residence to sign the I warrant for their committal to the county gaol;so they were detained in the custody of the police in theneigh hourhood of this place until Friday evening. The po lice, apprehensive that a rescue would be attempted, desired the protection of the military; accarding; t force amounting to twenty men arrived about three o'clock to their assistance, from a detachment of the 70th regiment, stationed at Castlecomer. They had scarcely commenced their march towards Kilkenny, with the prisoners in their joint custody, when arriving near to the Turnpike-gate, the pres sure of the friends and relatives of the culprits be came so alarming, that the officer in command called on his troop in square, and remon grated with the crowd, but to no good effect ; and then ordering a discharge of blank cartridge, which also proved unavailing, a volley was sent with deadly effect among the unarmed people. And we understand the firing was re peated and kept up after the multitude, who offered no retaliation, had dispersed. It is also asserted, and we have even been assured that creditable evidence can be adduced on oath, if neces sary, to prove that after the first fatal volley, which killed two individuals, and, as we have remarked, they fled in every direction, yet the tiring was kept up; round after round followed, and the lives of five individuals have been forfeited. Where has been the Coroner? A timely investigation should have taken place; but one of the party under Captain Matthew's command received an injury, and that but slight, from the blow of a stone. We observed, in the toll-house adjoining the turnpike gate, on the inside of the gable wall, the perfora tions of no less than twenty-six musket balls—this would give assurance that the armed party were not idle. The following are the names of the individuals who have fallen :—John Grout, Thos. Hogan, Fenton Doyle, Patrick Blanchfield, and Patrick Ring. The bodies bad been removed by the relatives of the deceased on the evening of their death. There are many wounded—some dangerously. Hav ing written thus far, we were, by the polite ness of a gentleman of the 70th regiment, favoured with the • following extract from a private letter received from Captain Matthew. We most willingly give it insertion, and from our heart we say, none will rejoice more than we shall to find that this gentleman has not dishonoured that service of which is a member, by overstepping the bounds of his professional duties, and the duties of humanity. We shall make further inquiries into the subject,and in our next number communicate the result. However, it is most important to observe, that on the evidence of Captain Matthew, the police are charged with firing without orders, and will we be told this is a case which does not require investiga tion ? Captain Matthew's friend, in sending us this extract, writes thus— Mr. Editor,—l send this to you merely as a true statement of the transaction—therefore you are at liberty to publish it or not, as you may think proper : " Nov. 26, 1831.—Yesterday I marched with an escort of twenty men of the light company, and a force of twenty police, to conduct prisoners to Castle comer. We were followed by a crowd of people consisting of several hundreds. I several times halted the detachment in hopes that the rattling of the bayonets would be sufficient to intimidate them, and I each time spoke to them and entreated them to return home quietly, but without effect. At length a well-dressed fellow stepped forward, and called out, let all the women, and those who have no business here, depart in God's name.' The persons alluded to appeared to take the hint, and quitted the I crowd, when the aforementioned person took off his hat and called out Now boys, we'll bail them.' I stepped forward and spoke to him, I received no answer, but a stone was aimed at my head, and im mediately a volley of stones were thrown at the escort. Some of the police, who were struck by stones from the mob, now fired, and two men were killed, when I instantly sprung from my horse and threw my self before them. We then proceeded, (the mob still following) until we arrived at a turnpike-gate, named C walll on enenn. one W e side ad of a t h u r s e_e a s t u o d ry public b t c ehouseother t and a there e was a weighing-house and a wall. W e were prevented by another a ssemblage of people front observing that the road in front of us was bar ricaded, until we came close up to the people, when they dispersed, and we perceived that two rows of loaded coal carts fastened together, were laid across the road, and behind them was posted a strong party of men, some of whom were armed; at this instant we were assailed with vollies of stones, not eertii them a bank in round ftank, ea only from front and rear but also from the walls and windows of the public-house, from which seve ral the rrof section thehou o s f e my and men shots were fired. I was now compelled to order my party w fire, and springing f rom my horse, I led a on which they broke and ret ired. W e then proceeded on our route. lire have only ascertained five killed, all of whom are cha racters of ttotoriety.— w M Carlo orning POSE.- chaorgy
