Yr ONE Y MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Continued activity is apparent in discount circles, and the demand to-day has been increased by the completion of the account in foreign stocks and railway shares. Four per cent., however, is the minimum quotation in the open market as well as at the Bank of England. A further sum of £4,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. The subscription list of the Venezuelan Loan will close to-morrow. The operations in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce markets during the last few days have been of a very restricted character. The dealings in tea have been deferred until the public sales, which take place to-day. Suger has slightly receded in value, while coffee, rice, and fruit have remained at almost previous rates. The tallow market has been dull, and prices have shown a downward movement for both present and forward delivery. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 68f. 90c., ex Coupon—heavy. At the yearly meeting of the South Australian Banking Company, Mr. Devett in the chair, the report of which an extract has already been published in The Sun, Was unanimously adopted. The chairman stated that the new premises had been acquired for £4,000, and that they had thereby considerably improved their establishment. The directors would, with the approval of the share holders, still further increase the reserve fund which now reached £lOO,OOO. The balance from the year's account was £52,856 after the necessary deductions had been made, and a dividend of 10 per cent. free of income-tax, was declared. Speculation in the market for the English Funds continues quiet, but the quotations are steadily maintained, Consols being 92 k for transfer, and 921 8 for the account. The Foreign market is the only department of the house which now presents an active appearance. Dealings have taken place in the New Threesand Reduced Annuities at 91t I 92 ; Bank Stock at 2321 ; the March Exchequer Bills 2s. dis., and the June ditto 2s. prem ; and Indian 5 per Cents. 1071-, to Bk.

Captain Alexander Ramsay, of Morne Park, near Newry, formerly in the 42d Highlanders, brought this action to vindicate his character from charges of the most unfounded character that had been cast upon it by the defendant, Captain Stewart, also formerly an offirer in the same regi ment. The defendant married some years since a Miss Frazer, the sister of a Captain Frazer, who was an officer in the 42d Highlanders, and they were in India to gether. The defendant was =known to the plainliff till July last, when he came to Packolet, the seat of General Chesney, during his absence, to forcibly carry away hie wife. Packolet wag near to Morne Park, and General C hesney and his wifo had asked the plaintiff to protect Mrs. S tewart from her husband's violence should it be necessary, and he promised them to do so ; and it was in consequence o f that interference that the libels complained of were Written. The first libel complained of was to the following effect In consequence of the gross outrage I suffered Yesterday from you I lose not one moment in placing myself ig the hands of a friend ; and it now becomes my painful d uty to express to you, for which no doubt you are pre pared, that your conduct was that of a coward, a violation of t he usages of society, and unbecoming the character of a 113 an of honour and a gentleman, and that if necessary you shall be denounced and branded as such by me on all occa- Fon s. You will therefore please communicate w i t h me under cover to Mr. Hart, 32, Hollies-street, Merrion-square, The action arose through the quarrels of husband and Wife, the friends of the latter placing her under the protec tion of a third party. The wife yesterday sa id s h e l e ft her husband through his ill-usage, and he this morning stated that he had the most right to complain of the treatment he he had received from her friends and relatives. Z3so.The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages, His Holiness, according to the dlrmonia, during t he Present nonth will hold a Consistory for the ir P"° of preconisir g the French B isho p s nomin ated by the Emperor Napoleon, and of providing other vacant dioceses in various Catholic counties. The Holy Father has never been in such good health as at the present time. SHARE MARKETS—This day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOW , S. Railways. Paid. Bir., Wol., and Str. Val. Blythe and Tyne.

" Man hattan" says Mr. Seward has written many happy and truthful things since this war began, particularly about its being frequently brought to a close inside of sixty days, but he has written nothing that has sunk so deep into men's hearts, as to compare his power with that of the Queen of England. Lord Lyons, in a despatch to Earl Rusell of Nov. 14, 1861, relates the fol• lowing as words addressed to him by Mr. Seward :—" My lord, I can touch a bell on my right hand, and order the arrest of a citizen at Ohio; I can touch the bell a g ain, and order the imprisonment of a citizen of New Y rk, and no power on earth, except that of the President, can release them, Can the Queeu of England do as much ?"

THE WILFUL DAMAGE ACT.—COMMITTALS WITHOUT FINES.—Tvio oases of wilful window-breaking came before Mr. Tyrwhitt this morning. In the first case, two women, named Maria Thomas and Harriett Frost, were charged with breaking a pane of glass of the value of £8 in the win dow of Mr. William Carter, licensed victualler, of the Hay market; and in the second, a woman named Arabella Bridges, was charged with breaking a pane of glass of the value of 2s. 6d., not being able to carry out htr intention of breaking one of the value of £2O, in the window of Mr. Wm. Raymond Sams, Sams' Library, 1, St. James's-street. In Mr. Carter's case George Forster, the cellarman, saw the prisoners throw the stones, as also did Edward Bovey, 85 C, who said that while taking the prisoners to the sta tion Thomas said that she would be revenged if sho had seven years for it. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, Mr. Carter said the pane of glass was of the value of £B, and that they had been absent from his house for a quarter of an hour, and then returned and broke the window. The prisoners admitted breaking the glass, but said they had given a shilling to the barmaid in payment for some rum between some halfpence, and the barmaid refused to return it. Anne Maria Middleton, the barmaid, denied that the prisoners had given her a shilling, and said they used very filthy language. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should commit Thomas, who had not only committed a serious outrage, but had attempted to injure the barmaid's character for honesty, for two months with hard labour without the option of paying a fine, and be should order Frost to pay £5 damage and 20s. fine, or six weeks imprisonment in default. In Mr. Sams' case, Mr. George Lock, from Mr. Sams', deposed to seeing the prisoner Bridges, after attempting to break a pane of glass of the value of £2O, and failing to do so, deliberately drive her fist through a small pane. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked Mr. Lock whether anything had been said to the prisoner ? Mr. Lock—Not a word, neither did the prisoner say any thing. The prisoner, who had nothing to say, was committed for a month with hard labour, without the option of pay ing a fine, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, TATTERSALL'S MONDAY. The attendance this afternoon was very numerous, and the Tomato case was again discussed among the principal members of the room. It has already been stated that a petition was drawn up at the Hampton Meeting, asking that the question might be re-opened, and in reference to this the following notification was issued in the course of the afternoon : " Tattersall's, Monday, June 15. " The members of the committee are hereby summoned to attend on Monday, June 22, at four o'cleck, to take into consideration a petition signed by numerous members of the Subscription-room. (Signed) " H. J. Rous. " G. PAYNE. " C. GREVILLE. " H. LOWTHER." Settling on the Hampton and Newton events chiefly en grossed attention until a late period of the afternoon, and the betting that took place was by no means of an exten sive character.

It may not be uninteresting to note, at the pre sent time, when so much feeling respecting the De partment of Science and Art is being exploded, and those inimical to its administration, and denying its merits or services es a state institution, are loud in their fears about the future occupancy of the ground occupied by the late International Exhibition, the estimation by foreign critics of this establishment, which was directly created under the influence and suggestion of the Prince Consort. We have had handed to us an autograph letter from the Emperor of Austria to the Archduke Rainer, which was registered as a state document but a month or two back, and which we will present without comment or further introduction : "Dear Cousin Archduke Rainer,— "Inasmuch as it is an urgent want for the eleNa tion of Austrian industry to accord as much assist ance as possible to the native manufacturers, who so much and in such large numbers desire to further commercial activity through the medium of art and science, and in particular by the improvement of taste, I have given orders that an institution, to be named the Austrian Museum of Art and Industry, shall be founded as soon as possible. " Within this museum will be gathered objects out of the collections of my Palace, the Belvedere Arsenal, the University of Vienna, the Polytechnic Institutions, and from other public buildings of the same kind. These objects will be lent under reser vation of the rights of property, and after having served their purpose will be returned in exchange for others. I have also every confidence in the proved patriotism of our various towns, and espe cially of my chief and royal city of Vienna, as well as that of the nobles and the public in general, that they will, after the example of my palaces, render the museum useful by their scientific or artistic collections. " But inasmuch as the establishment of this museum, on account of the liberal scale upon which it is to be founded, will at all events require some time for preparation, and as the want of such an institution is urgently demanded by the art-indus try of the day, I have granted the use of the banquet ting-house of my palace for the provisional carrying out of the museum and awaiting the future enlarge ment of the same. " The works of art destined to be exhibited there are from my Palace Library, from the Belvedere Picture Gallery, the furniture and tapestry of my town palace and country palaces, Schonbrun, Laxenberg, and others, the Cabinet of Antiquities, the Ambraser Collection, my Treasury, and from the arsenal before the Belvedere line. In this manner it is to be hoped that the corporation of Vienna, the nobility, and public, will also contri bute articles to the museum from time to time out of their Vienna City Arsenal and private collections. " The works of art are to be put in good order, and labelled with the necessary explanations to assist examination and study before being sent in. Thus an opportunity is afforded to the Austrian manufacturers themselves to send rare and beautiful objects to be exhibited. In connection with the museum will be photographic and casting depart ments. " But, first of all, a charter must be granted, and for the working of this as well as for all the prepa rations necessary for the opening of the museum, I have considered it necessary to name a provisional committee, which, under the presidency of the Ministerial Chief of Department Carl Edlen a Sevi nisky, will consist of Johan Gabriel Seial, Master of my Treasury and Keeper of my Cabinets of Coins and Antiquities ; Dr. Gustav Heider, the Ministerial Art Referee and Secretary ; and of the Professor Extraordinary of the History of the Fine Arts at the University of Vienna, Rudolph Von Eitelberger, to whom I have given power, in case of unforeseen necessity, to add another to their number, and if required to consult connoisseurs. This committee has its propositions, and the charter, as decided on by them, ready to lay before you, for your opinion immediately, and I hope this oppor tunity will be made the best use of, and that the charter, as well as any further propositions, may be laid before me at the very earliest for my final de cision.

A YANKEE JOKE.—Thousands of dollars are squandered every day upon the most useless articles of fancy, and the jokes cracked are innumerable. One says —" Do you know how we hold our title to Vicksburg ?" —" No ; how is it ?"—" By Grant," is the reply. Another says, "To be taken for Grant—ed. The capture of Vicks burg." THE COMMEMORATION AT OXFORD, OXFORD, June 15. The solemn, quiet days of Oxford's academic year, the regular routine of chapel and of college, end with this week in all the joviality which marks " Commemoration." In this great University re joicing dreary recollections of "gated" days, ruined honours, and plucked fame are all alike forgotten. It is Commemoration week—when unpopular proc tors have to screw up their courage to meet the un dergraduates in the Theatre; when gay crowds and pleasant parties throe& the fine old College Quads; when the dim religious-looking windows are filled with:blooming faces, and the sanctuaries of the grass plots are trodden unheeded. Oxford at all times is a cheerful place, and in Commemoration time is merrier than ever ; but the Commemoration of this year will be one, the like of which the University has never seen since when, just 49 years ago, the Sheldon:an Theatre was honoured with the presence of the Allied Sovereigns ; when George IV. was Re gent. But, even the rejoicings of that great occasion are likely to be surpassed on this, for now the under graduates have to welcome their late fellow-gowns man and his fair young bride, and the University au. thorities have to do honour to one who hereafter it is to be believed will do such honour to them, and, over and above all, to suit the convenience of their Royal visitors, the fetes and rejoicings of Commemoration this year have all to be said or sung,alanced or eaten, in two long summer days, instead of six. The pro gramme offered for the acceptance, and, if possible, for the enjoyment also of the youthful pair is of the same diversified kind as marked every day of the Prince's long route through Canada into the far west beyond the Mississippi. It is such a programme as only a very young and very happy pair could venture to undertake, and we much doubt if a young Princess was ever called upon, as an enjoyment, to go through so much before. Leav ing aside the railway journey down to this city to morrow, there are also private receptions and public routes to be gone through—a public welcome, with addresses, at Magdalen-bridge, a procession through Oxford, a grand distribution of prizes to volunteers, a special congregation in the Sheldenian Theatre, a Fancy Fair and Bazaar which their Royal High nesses are to open, a Horticultural and Flower Show to which they are to accord a similar honour, a mag nificent banquet to which 400 guests will sit down in the hall of Christchurch in the evening, and a ball in the beautiful new Corn Exchange, where the visitors are somewhat rashly expected not only to find room for themselves, but room for the dancing also. This is a fair amount of festivity for one day, and that which follows it is just as good or as bad —certainly beginning earlier and probably ending later, and including another grand banquet and ball, a rowing match, the procession of boats, a Free masons' fete, a great collation at All Souls, and, above and beyond all, the Enceenia or Commemora tion—where the undergraduates can express their opinion, and when they will avail themselves of their privilege to the utmost, as Dr. Pusey and others already know. With such great things on hand, it is almost needless to say in what a fever of prepara tion Oxford is just now. Great Deans, Wardens, and Principals are immersed in arrangements for banquets and dances, and have to bend their minds to the minute contemplation of such frivolities as never entered the heads of Dons before. In every College committees of some sort or kind are sitting, gigantic piles of plates and table furniture, more or less attractive, may be found in odd nooks and out of-the-way corners, and in every " Quad" the residence of some fortunate dispenser of patronage, in the way of tickets, may be known at once by the hurried arrivals and slow disappointed de partures of the applicants, who come to prove, but always in vain, that there is room at banquet and at hall for them. The claim for tickets of every kind has been enormous, and the coartesy and kindly wish of the university authorities to favour the applications of those who had even the re motest pretensions to be present on any occasion have been tasked to the utmost. No reduction in the number of these applications is likely to be found as time draws on. Every train brings in fresh crowds of visitors, and every minute the car riages of the country gentry come rolling in. Ac commodation in the literal sense of the term is scarcely to be had for money, and certainly not for love, and the local journals, who appear to have for the thousandth time consulted the " oldest inhabi tant" declare on his unimpeachable authority that Oxford never was so full. It is quite easy to believe this when we find that the notices of beds to let have all disappeared from the heart of the city, and been driven to the remotest purlieus, such as would only be discovered in the wanderings of some innless travellers. On the Sunday before Commemoration Day all, without exception, high or low, gentle or simple, come to promenade in the evening under the grand . old avenue of elms i n Christchurch meadow. On this occasion, too, all the belles in Oxford do their best to appear in toilettes worthy the occasion, and hence its name of " Show Sunday." Last Sunday it was a mere contradiction in terms to call it a walk, or a pro menade, or a show, or anything but a dense crowd which feebly tried to circulate along the avenue or kept standing still till dusk, when the bell rang and the solemn booming from " Tom Tower" rang out the last exhibitors from the " Show," to be early afoot again this morning, beseeching, intrig u i ng , striving in every way known to f'amale inge nuity for tickets for one of the many ce lebrations to-morrow. Fortunately for the Princess, and fortunately, perhaps, for the im pressions which she will take away from this famous seat of learning, Thursday is to be a quiet day—a day devoted to a long and strictly private visit to the famous monuments and buildings of the Univer sity. This, however, is to be the only quiet day, for on Tuesday and Wednesday there will be not a moment's rest for either of the Royal visitors. Amid the general bustle and excitement going on on all sides, even the quaint, gray old Colleges are putting on a gayer aspect. The turf of the quad rangles, always beautifully soft and green, has been mowed and rolled until it looks like the finest velvet. The Men's rooms have been swept and garnished for the visits of critical sisters and cousin', and Chapels and Halls have been trimmed up so as to look their oldest yet their best. The noble re fectory of Christ Church, in which the Prince and Princess are to be entertained at the grand banquet, has been tastefully re-decorated, and the portraits of many of the many eminent men who once sat as students within its walls, having been cleverly cleaned and restored, now present a brilliant and imposing array. The Dean's apartments at the other side of the quadrangle have been handsomely fitted up for the reception of the Royal party. Exeter and All Souls' are also preparing to do honour to the Prince. In the picturesque gardens of St. John's rows of dainty booths, gay with many coloured canvass, and decked with flags and arti ficial flowers, are being reared for the aristocratic saleswomen who are to hold a Fancy Fair there to morrow for the benefit of the new buildings of the Radcliffe Infirmary. The grounds of Trinity and Worcester are also being made ready for a Hor ticultural Show and Masonic Fete. The Corn- Exchange, a large new building, in the interior of which coloured brickwork is introduced with novel and striking effect, is, under the busy hands of painters and upholsterers, assuming a festive appearance worthy of the two balls which are to take place there on auccessive evenings, and which, it is certain, from the number of tickets issued, will, as we have intimated, be densely crowded. In front of the Town-hall the inscription "Let the earth rejoice and the nations be glad" will blaze at night in letters of fire. Along the High-stree,t, from m Magdalen-bridge to St. Aldates, wooden gal l e r i es have been raised at many convenient and some in convenient positions for the accommodation of spec tators to view the entrance of the Prince and Prin cess. Stout barriers have also been erected to guard all the entrances to the Sheldonian Theatre, and to check a premature irruption of violent under graduates or excited strangers. A more substantial and order has been guarantee, however,. for p furnished by the arrival ol e S s u c p e erin'endent Walker, of the A Division of the Metropolitan i _ P . olice . , with ' to whom . the U . niver . sity has 200 of his picked men,, transferred for the time all its ancient . privileges. There will soon be scarcely any town in England w hi c h has not at some . time . or other . been giv en over moral guardianship . of this celebrated to the an:: there Divi sion of Police and its experienced . leader, is little doubt that . Superintendent Walker will not fail in his first yisitc.to a University town to graduate with honours. WESTMINSTER. CUTTING AND WOUNDING.—Mrs. Mary Moir, 102, Denbigh-street, was charged with cutting a woman's head with a large water pitcher. Complainant said that she was servant to Mrs, Goodman, who occupied the whole of the upper part of the house be longing to the defendant. Mrs. Moir had no right to be there, but insisted upon going towards Mrs. Goodman's bedroom yesterday afternoon; and Mrs. Goodman having called complainant, she went to her, and laying hold of de fendant's dress, told her she must not go there, upon which defendant struck her a violent blow on the head with a water pitcher, and then ran out of the house, but followed by complainant and given into custody. Complainant had her head bandaged, and the water pitcher was produced with blood upon it. Mrs. Goodman said that the defendant came up and told her that as she was going away she would not be allowed so many privileges as she had enjoyed. Witness desired her to leave that portion of the house, which did not belong to her, and called the servant, when defendant struck her as described, and the blood flowed copiously from the wound. She afterwards fled along the street. Joseph Fordham, 2, Moreton-terrace, said he met com plainant bleeding very ranch from a wound on the side of the head. He took the defendant. Complainant was taken to the hospital. Mr. Smith solicitor for the defendant, submitted that Mrs. Moir had a right to be at that part .. of the house, and that the wound was inflicted by accident, the complainant having pulled the defendant towards her. Mr. Selfe said he could not try the question of right, but it his opinion were asked, the defendant had no business in that part of the house. Mrs. Goodman distinctly proved that the blow and wound were intentional. Mr. Selfe remanded the accused upon bail. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JUNE 15.

The first of the great aquatic contests fixed for decision this week came off today, viz., that between Robert Chambers, the present Champion of the Thames and Tyne, and Richard A. W. Green, Champion of Australia. The distance to be rowed was from Putney to the Ship at Mortlake, and the match was remarkable as being the first in which a scalier from one of the most distant of her Majesty's possessions abroad has had the courage to make a voyage to England and contend for the coveted honoar of Champion sculler of the river Thames. The extraordinary excellence of Chambers as a scalier did not deter Green from at once making a match, as it will be remembered he came to this country for the express purpose of rowing the best man in England, and, consequently, in the world. Green arrived in England before the race between Chambers and Everson was decided, and although anxious not to lose time in effecting his object, he accepted the advice of his friends and remained quiet until that match was decided, and then he challenged the winning man. Green brought a great reputation with him from the antipodes, and from the specimens of his power as a scalier, which a favoured few have had the for tune to witness, he was looked upon as a very awkward opponent for the redoubted Chambers. The start took place at six minutes past two. Green having won the toss for choice of station took the Middlesex side of the river. A fair start having been effected, Green immediately showed a little in advance. Oa arriving at the Duke's Head, he was nearly clear of Chambers, and in about 20 more strokes he was a boat's length ahead. Be fore arriving at Craven Cottage he had increased his lead to two lengths, In crossing, and nearly opposite the Crab Tree, a raft of timber which was being towed up the river looked like proving fatal to Green's chance, as those on board the steamers thought he would row right into it. At this point Chambers, who appeared to be rowing within himself, put on one of his well-known spurts, and passed Green as though he was standing still. Having obtained the lead he passed under Ham mersmith-bridge several lengths ahead. Off Chiswick Eyot, many of the steamers having followed Chambers, who had obtained a great lead, actually extinguished any chance that Green might have had. Chambers won by at least a quarter of a mile, Green having given over row ing from this point. Betting at starting-3 to 1 on Chambers. At one part of the race, where Green led by nearly two boats' length, the betting was only 2 to 1 on Chambers, and in some cases as little as 6 to 4 was laid. NAVAL PROMOTIONS—This Evening.

THE CASE OF MR BISHOP, The Marquis of NORMANBY corrected some mistake that had arisen in the remarks he had made the other even ing. He said Mr. Bishop was a confirmed invalid, and the worst results might follow a lengthened imprisonment in the fortress of Alexandria, and urged on the Government the necessity of addressing a strong representation to that effect to the Government at Turin. THE EXHIBITION BUILDING. The Duke of RUTLAND said on;Jhursday next he should put a question to her Majesty's Government with respect to the purchase of the Exhibition building.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.--This Day. The SPEAKER took the chair at 10 minutes after 12 o'clock, a house not having been made before that time• PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a second time :—Carniar then and Cardigan Railway (No. 1), Newry and Gleelloro Railway Pier and Wet Dock, North British Railway (Steam boats). The following bills were read a third time :—Edinburgh and Dunfermline and Perth (North British) Railway, Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, Newcastle and Carlisle Rued, North Eastern Railway (Hull and Doncaster Branch), Scottish Central Railway. The following bills were considered, and ordered to be read a third time : _Great Eastern Railway, Great Northern Railway (Cheshire lines), and Bonelli's Electric Telegraph Company. The second reading o f the London (City) Traffic Regu lation Bill was postponed until Thursday. FISHERIES (IRELAND) BILL. The house then went into committee on the bill. The consideration of clause 4 was resumed. Mr. BRUCE explained that the Government had lis tened with great attention to suggestions from all parties interested in these fisheries, and he believed that whilst the best parts of the Act of 1842 were conserved by this bill, it would likewise lead to the proper distribution of salmon, which all unbiassed and disinterested persons desired. The Government considered that the clause as amended would work well. Sir N. SOMERVILLE said he was a supporter, though reluctantly, of the compromise which had resulted in this bill, and it was rather too bad for its supporters to feel it their duty to oppose such alterations in the claase on the part of the Government, which would legalise stake and bag nets, and thus destroy all salmon that ascended the rivers. Had the bill of the hon. member for Wexford (Mr. M'Mahon) not been interfered with by the Government, he believed it would have received the assent of the house. Mr. BRUCE denied that the clause as amended would legalise these nets. After much discussion, the committee divided on the clause as proposed to be amended, the Government having proposed the omission of the words "or any other waters," when there appeared— For the amendment 33 Against Majority —2 Several verbal amendments were then agreed to. Mr. REDMOND proposed the insertion of the words "or estuaries" after the word "rivers." The alteration was opposed. Atter some discussion, the house divided, when there appeared— For the amendment Ayes Maj0rity............ Mr. BUTT proposed the addition of words to the effect that in cases where persons owned the whole of the rivers and the right of fi•ihing therein, they should have power to maintain or erect bag nets. Mr. O'HAGAN did not approve of the amendment in its present form; but the Government would consider the sub ject. After some discussion the amendment was withdrawn, the Government having undertaken to frame a clause on the subject. The discussion of the subject occupied the remainder of the sitting. The house resumed at six o'clock, and was (LEFT SITTING.) LONDON GAZETTE—This Evening. WAR OFFICE, JCNE 16.

During his removal a vast multitude accompanied the rev. gentleman, whose wasted, almost death-like appearance created a strong sen sation.

P r e . l- 3-ard' enn T a l; e d A eor a w rg as e knocked at repe a t e dl y an d loudly, ' but none o f the rev. gentlemen came to the do or . A scene such as never was cqualiled in New Ross then ensued. The women went to the front wi n d ows an d p oure d a b use , e xecrations, and male dictions on the clergy. It was agretd to stop dues and all manner of incomes from them. Though the knocker of the Ivor had been used by the gentlemen in a manner sufficient to disturb the nerves of the most somnolent, but without effect, so far as inducing the clergymen to come out, yet there were others who thought good would come from knocking, and to it they fell, kicking, leaping at it, and pushing it until the door was smashed to pieces, and then in rushed the godly and patriotic. Some collared the Rev. Mr. Neville up against the wall, and others thought to force their way up the stairs, where the Rev. D. Kenny was obliged to stand on his defence as best he cou ld, and to tr y to stem the c urrent a what one who ought to be a judge characterised as fiends. The police arrived, and the rev. gent lemen were extricated. After this the chapel doors were closed, not to allow the continuance of such conduct w i t hin sight of the altar. All this conduct was brought about because the Rev. D. Kenny would not break a pro mise that he had made, that he would not vote for or take any part with either of the candidates at the present election. The Rev. W. Neville remained for some time walking iu front of the chapel, where he had to endure hearing the ob servations of many not the most reputable in town..
