' ARSON.----Henrl/ Stijedlart, aged fwenrywone, was in dicted for felonious setting fire to a haulm -btack, at Bus hell, en the 9th of March, the property of Thomas Dykes. Mr. O'Malley and Mr. Couch were counsel for the prosecution; and Mr. Prendergast defended the pri soner. _ _ _ The property which • was the subject' of - this charge was situate a short way from the residence of the pro secutor, in a field, through the hedge of which was a gap leading across two other fields; towards the farm of one Pilgrim, and it abundantly appeared that it had . been set on tire on the night in question, when it was partially, if not entirely, consumed. Many person came to the fire, but none of them, according to the testimony of one Parish, quitted it through the gsp, but all, including Mr. Pilgrim, came and went by the road - and gate.. No clue was found to the offender,' but on the following morning some indistinct footmarks of a man were traced from the stack to and through the gap. Just before the last assizes at Ipswich, at which the prisoner was charged with and acquitted of setting fire to some other stacks in the same parish,. the grandson of 'the prosecutor, a man of thirty, informed him of a singUlar 'conversation he had had with the prisoniir while they were working together about a fortnight after the fire now in question, in which, as he stated, the prisoner had confessed his guilt to him. In consequence of thitt Serjeants was detained in custody to take his trial on the charge, - and the principal witness against him was the . grandson. 'According to his statement a dispute arose during their work as to its fair division between them, when the prisoner grew angry, and the witness s a id, " I suppose if you had your own way you -would burn' it; as you did iny grandfather's stack," to which the prisoner . replied, " liow will. you prove that ?" " Why," 'answered the witness, "yon.don't know, perhaps, that I saw you lean over the hedge and fire it." On this the prisoner called him " a d—d liar," add added, "You don't know nothing about it, for I got over 'the hedge 'a good bit higher up, and pulled an armful out of 'one end of the ztack, which I set fire to, and ,shoved into the other end. I they went through thegip; and' laid doivn under the hedge, expecting that old Pilgrim would go to the fire that way,,and i,f he had I intended to have made -a better fire at his farm; :but he didn't, so I went away." - .When cross-examined, the narrator of. this strange confession, net only admitted that he had . not'acquaintedids grand-• father of it till July, but also that • he had nornientioned it to a constable,,named , BarneS, till he had himself been charged by the .•prisonersi`Wife With 'assaulting conjunction with : his brother , -during' her husband's ab sence in prison, and cetirpelled to find sureties to keep the peace towards her,. while. he 'further acknowledged. that he had not long since been chsarged by Mr i . - Pilgriin with poisonieg his ducks. • - Mr. PRENDIM6AST having addressed the jury on be half of the prisoner, . . . • Ills Leal:isn't. summed the ease to them, leaving it to them to say whethetV%tideraalkiheseeifircurnFtaittea; they 'could' at*ti s such vzredit‘Acrethillesstittitn? of trio grandson a . ‘ fiat - Ad Wel-them to.a Conviction.

In a few moments he saw the prisoner coming from a gate which opened into the Jane frem.a.close near 'his father's farmyard, arid celled ." soriOnsii-field,'! at great speed. Crossing the lane he' ruShed into the house, and was unable fur tome moments to reply to the inquiry of his mother as to the cause of his being "so - muddled," but having recovered his breath, he said,,that as he was snaring along lie saw " a fire at farmer Durrant's," — and gaited, that he hail come torne:that *ay in order that she' Knight not know where he ha s d' been. Cpon this the alarm was given, the farmyard "being not - very far off, and the. fire, which was then "quite fresh and only as big as a •bucket," was speedily extinguished by the arnited exertions of the' family - arid some neighbour.

THE NEWRY.RAILROAD. MEETING OF THE CHAMBER OF:COMMERCE OF BELFASt. !The meeting on Monday in the Cornmercialltoom;, respvcting.the railways westward; was attended by the most gentlemen ' enggied" in' coMmercial 'natters, in thhi town. There wasly: l One opinion vxprecs4ll regarding the necesditro? upporting.ttie in-' tereats of the b Company formed f,r the construction of the railway from Nerrrj to Enniskillen, which' was re• garded by the 'meeting as an' extension f of theylster line from-Belfasr, which would pasS•throu,_gh'elm'Ost th'e'only manufacturing districts of the iVetit.' The adian'tages, of . the line to. the agriculturatinterests of the west were yerk . pointedly stated. The improvements Or cted in 'the navigation' of the two Loughs Erne, which now allow' steam connnuniea tion, in.e direct line, for *upWards of fifty statute Miles, render the formation of a railway from Enniskillen—the key of the two Loughs—to Belfast and Newry,' unclog; tionably the two hest ports on the east coast of . lreland, a proj.ct more likely to be remunerative to shareholders and al other parties concerned than any other Irish na stily speculation with which We are 'acquainted. The meeting was perfectly unanimous in supporting.this lino, and agreed to prepare and fo'rWard titions : in its favour, which will carry with theni all. the -weight and influence hich can ho attached to the unanimous opinions of the eaerchants and traders in the-greatest commercial town in Ireland.—Banner of Ulster; Dm. 10 , BRITII.—SPEE DY DISSOLUTION•OP"A STRIKE.—On Th ie jll= -arsday eiening week, Leven of ' the workmen at the rhk , m a,..ork.f.v.r. brought into Beith under, m i ,. • , fa' a **(llig p of constables- A pree6g - • arty tiatigerr,by. the -examination of . one of the 111 4, 101 " t i t - 7;:iyi ql‘ en rvett . di . ors were-delayed • till the peace ;it ..vewheasiettect tneettag oonrfrltihetuehxsitteJtdmutishnteiactemici-enonf, gad in the strike. tiiinty-foor parsons had ;;::, e (Hiti OW-4nd beOu made b y nRi - -St - nrn to their duty, vin th ie Q h rn w nag s the hrte. fi rst-exan2Oeci being sentenced ; two oetil:t on k fifty,.aiaii. the other lo forty days i ; s' -mpr.sonment, th m e rr initining four of the seven succumbed, and promised to rotos to their lebour, wbilethe other-three were inune- Oiet,ely dispatebed to Ayr.—Ayr Observer.

The Earl of ABERDEEN, in returning thanks for him self and his colleagues in office, said— " I rely venture, on this occasion, to rejoice in meet ing one who, though he differs from me in many points, concurs with >me in congratulating the distinguished officer on the success of his negotiations, and the expe dition which preceded them.

The instruction to the Select Cuminiteee was in these ternaa:=" To inquire into, the state of; the colony of- New Zealand, and the proceedings 'of the New Zealand Company." They appear, although profoundly sensible to the: " extraordinary" difficulty' and delicacy of the task imposed upon them, to have addressed themselies to it boldly, but dispassionately. They have - not shirked the duty because it was an invidieui ,one,.. nor spared the expression of their opinions on the. policy and deportment of the British Government with regardlothe occupation of, or the' ~ • . . Possessory title to, New. Zealand, And.the.pretensions of the New Zealand Company. - -Our readers will remember, probably, that .we have contended, in former articles on the affairs of New" Zealand, that the normal error Of, a former Colonial Goverwnent consisted in not availing itself, in the-first instance— if New Zealand' coloni.ation by British. Subjects 'was to be 'encouraged 'at all=c: the sound and.undoubteo, title of priority of di.' rPr . ,.. We denied the right which that Compar < aostuned in it's outset of settling the lands of the . islands composing this now recog • nixed colony before they themselves had derivedany 'title. under grant from the Crown to the allotments which they underfOok to di- , pose of to intending end gr. ants ; and we. expressed air ,attows - ntnent at the vacillating demeanoui of her., MAJESTY Ministers, • who, after denying their responsibility-for the acts of the Company to• the :settlers' who had purchased . or located on the faith of their Validity,., and in 'so invalidating such transactions, or rather the contracts under which they had occurred ; as to have declared that the islandrwere independent, and presented'thetn with a national flag, subsequently erected New: Zee , -land into a British colony... .We •might have added, that they subsequently submitted their conflicting ' c liims to all the unoccupied lands of the colony, with those of the New Zealand Company, to the arbitra.- on of a third party, a private gentleman, under .whose award the Company is entitled to an i mmense extent of territory which, in their turn, they are now complainants at being &bailed from. We ; perceive that . the - se: our - -views are fully borne out by the' Re. pOrt . of : the Select Committee, and especially by the appended to it, to the declarations. embodied in which we shall very speedily recur.: ••It is our painful duty, too,, to, repeat...tile conviction, fortified by the Report before UN that Lord 'Jowl RossELLis : chargeable with great want of statesman ,ilth consideration and ministerial' energy`in having , confined, 'in the first instance, his restraining inter ference,With the mischievehs and illegal pretensions of the New 'Zealand Company to mere remonstrances and warning; and to his -having afterwards given effect to the?r unwarrantable assumptions by acts of quasi recognition and acknowledgment on, the part of the Government` to 'which - he 'belonged. •Had the rights of the Crown been :mote; •distinhtly asserted,' the unauthorised operations of the Company more 0 vigorously,put 'down, there is muchierobability that the fatal . Massacre' at WV airau would not have after wards'occurred ; for the unfortunate misunderstand ings and prepossessions of, the natives as to thcright of propert y, on their aide, to unreclairned or unoccu pied lands, could: not, in- that case, -have been pre cipitated. The instructions' to Governor I-lonsort,i hOvvever, were , founded on an admission of!thesopre possessions, in the 'native mind, the same which per 7. vaded the native mind on the conclusion of the treaty of Waitangi. But if We' are compelled to impute error of judgment.in these matters to the late Minis ter for the Colonies, we cannot exempt Lord STANDBY, his *successor -in the :presentAdministra tion, from a degree of passive apathy or indiffarence in dealing .with the *bele . of this momentous ques tion, This torpidity seems at - other times to haye .been replaced by an irritable testiness—an impatience, as it were, of a distasteful subject, which augUred far • more unfavourably for 'the future interests and permanent welfare of the young colony, than his predecessor's' lack Of deeision, accompanied, as that was, by declarations of - a sincere and cordial interest in its advancement. Altogether, it proccedloga pg tIY9 with regard to NeW Zealand and the New Zealand Companyi have been 4 tisane Of iii-illfcrMed, iii-considered, and dis- Crepant legislation, f i lm isao or as to the present time. May the experience of its entangled results serve to avert, from other colonies the mischiefs of similar treatment] and from Alttirt? small capitalists and intending emigrants similar frauds, cruelty, and ruin, to those charged against the Broad-street-build ings Direction.

The French Opposition journals are constantly in veighing against certain writers of the London press whii, they state, lose no. opportunity of offending France, and thereby. excite reprisals against this Country.

Very few fresh arrivals of English Wheat have taken place for our markets since Monday, hence the supply of that article was small. Owing to the severity of the weather, the millers were rather anxious buyers, and a clearance was readily effected at very full prices. In fine. Foreign 'Wheat-rather an es tensiue business was transacted, but at no more money. Bonded Grain was held firmly. The - Barley trade was much in the same state as last advised. The supply of English was only moderate, but that of Foreign was large. No change whatever was noticed in the demand for, or prices of, Malt. The largefibrewers are holding off for an im provement, in quality. Oats, Beans, and Peas were stationary. L Fo.-4gn......«.. ARRLYAL& Wheal. Barley. 2,970 qrs. 1,960 qrs. .....,,... ' I %SW - Malt.

The primest Scots, &c., sold readily at an advance of 2d per 8lbs; but all other kinds were heavy, at previous currencies. Only eight Beasts from Rotterdam were brought forward; but from Aberdeen we received 170 Scots, twenty-five of which unfortunately died on the passage. .The number of Sheep wao 'only moderate, yet the Mutton trade was inactive, at barely Monday!s quotations.
