Wr w CHINA. --- OPENING OF THE PORT OF FOCI-CHOW-FOG. The following are copies of a letter from Mr. Macgregor, of' the Board of Trade, to the chairman of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, received on Tuesday, and of its inclo sure, consisting of an extract of a dispatch from the British consul at Rio-chow-foe, containing the regulations of trade for that newly -opened port,—the one with respect to the opening of which the Chinese Government made the greatest difficulty during the memorable negotiations with Sir Henry Pottinger. Foochow-Foo is the great port of the tea dis trict " Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade, Whitehall, 29th September, 1845. "Sir—l am directed by the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade to transmit to you, for the informa tion of the Chamber of Commerce at Manchester, and the gentlemen connected with the trade to the East Indies and China, the accompanying extract of a dispatch from her Majesty's consul at Foo-chow-foo, dated the 26th April last. —I am, sir, your obedient humble servant, "J. MACGREGOR. " To the Chairman, Chamber of Commerce, Manchester." (Copy.) " In re'erence to the first article, defining the limits of the part, I have only to observe that, -while the pass which fo - ms the limit is too well marked to admit of mistake, it allows ample anchorage above, to vessels wishing to trade, and below to any driven for shelter into the river, but not desiring to enter the port. " I trust the third and fourth articles will also be consi dered satisfactory; the former permitting vessels freely to enter and remain without incurring port dues, unless they find a market for their goods; the latter establishing the same standard and rules for the payment of duties as are in force at Canton, thus, I hope, precluding e all future:discus sions as to the relative value of the sycee in most tommon use, and providing against any attempt at extortion similar to that so long and obstinately persisted in at Amoy. "This port may now be considered fairly opened; and if merchants are disposed to avail themselves of the facilities afforded by the approaching favourable monsoon, I have no doubt they will be well received; and I am further led to believe that a considerable demand will arise for British goods, if judgment be shown in the selection, and tact and patience in offering them for sale. Should merchants, how ever, freight vessels of considerable burden for this port and expect to dispose of the whole cargo to one person, or even to sell it in large portions to one, two, or three individuals, I can only anticipate disappointment as the result. " There is little floating capital, and there are no large monied houses. Nearly the whole of their own mercantile transactions are carried on by means of a paper currency, which can only be converted into silver to a very limited amount. Of the accuracy of this statement I feel well as sured from multiplied inquiries, and the uniform consis tency of the answers received. " Although few or none of the native traders have several thousand dollars at command, I believe there are a large number, nevertheless, who are prepared with smaller amounts to make purchases of British manufactured goods, " For those who may think it worth their while, therefore, to freight vessels with assorted goods, and dispose of them in small portions, or by retail, there will no doubt be a market, and I should conceive a profitable one. Nor should it be forgotten, that in this manner commenced, and by these means was established, the now considerable trade of Amoy. Of course, a small vessel capable f anchoring near the bridge will have more chances in its favour than one of larger burden obliged to remain ten miles below the city. " The governor and the Peasurer have both assured me, in the most unqalified manner, of their anxious desire to see a flourishing foreign trade established at this port; and as I see little reason to question their sincerity in this matter, it may be safely anticipated that no frivolous difficulties or vexations will be thrown in the way of the fair trader by the authorities." " REGULATIONS OF TRADE FOR THE PORT OF FOO-CHOW FOO. " 1. The limits of the port of Foo-chow-foo extend from the bridge to the Woo-foo-man Pass. " 2. The Chinese officer at the station, within the Pass, has orders to provide any vessel desiring to enter the port, with a pilot. " 3. British ships may remain in the port, with a view of ascertaining the state of the market, without restriction as to time, and should they desire to depart without breaking bulk, no port dues will be demanded. The captain will, however, in all cases, deliver his ship's papers, bills of lading, tic., into the hands of the Consul, within twenty-four hours after arrival. " 4. Payment of duties may be made, either in sycee or coined money, at the rates already established at Canton. .4 5. All cargo is to be taken in or discharged between sun rise and sunset. " 6. Sailors on liberty are to be accompanied by an officer or re.pon , ible person, and strictly enjoined to abstain from "all acts calculated to give offence to the inhabitants; injunctions to the same effect having been issued by the Chinese autho rities to the people of Foo-chow-foo. (Signed) "R. ALCOCK. " Her Britannic Majesty's Consul. "Foo chow-foo, April 26, 1845." MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—.The number of deaths last week was 858, exceeding that of the previous week by 84, and about 46 below the average of five sum mers. 'The deaths from measles and bronchitis are still high, being respectively 58, 22, average 24, 7. The deaths from small. pox 4, and from violence 37, of which 13 were from fractures and contusions, 7 from drowning, 5 from hanging and suffocation, and 9 from burns and chemical injuries. This includes .the :seven unfortunate persons who lost their lives by the explosion at Woolwich. Three suicides occurred. BORRIBLE CASE OF MANSLAUGHTER AT NEW - cAsTLE.—LAn inquest was held on Monday afternoon, at Newcastle, on the body of Ralph Parker, a young man, who came to his death under the following melancholy cir cumstances:—On Saturday night week deceased went into an eating-house in the Pudding-chare, to procure some re freshment. Some other persons were there when he went in, among whom were Selby Green and John Bell. B e ll and others were tantalising Green in various ways, some times taking a portion of the meat off his plate. Parker, the deceased, joine,i in annoying Green, and also attempted to take a piece of the meat off his plate, when, of a sudden, Green took the knife he was eating with, and plunged it into Parker's eye with such force that it entered the socket several inches, and he was obliged to relinquish his hold of it and leave it there. The deceased shouted in excruciating agony, and attempted to take the knife out, but could not ; Bell endeavoured to pull it out, using great strength, but failed, and Green himself, awakened to a sense of the injury he bad inflicted, also tried with both hands, and at lenath succeeded with much difficulty in extricating it. The police trok Green into custody, and conveyed Parker to his resi dence, where he lingered in great pain till Sunday, when death put an end to his sufferings. After the jury bad viewel the body, the Coroner ordered a post mortent examina tion to be made, and adjourned the inquest for that purpose. COMBAT OF BALLOONS AT VAUXIIALL GARDENS.— Yesterday evening the long-announced pyrotechnic and aerial dis play, in the shape of an ascent of a number of monstre fire and gas balloons, took place at the " royal property," which was crowded with visitors of every grade, including a number of persons of rank and distinction. The balloons were designed and executed .by Mr. Darby. the celebrated pyrotechnist, in conjuction with Mr. H. Coxwell, the editor of the Aeros tatic Magazine, and Mr. Gypson, the well-known aeronaut. The Waterloo ground was the scene of action, where the aerial army was ranged rank and file. One of the balloons was a perfect representation of that popu lar character Mrs. Caudle, and her appearance was the signal for a general shout. Then came the immortal Punch in alibis glory, who was equally well received. In order to render these miniature machines and the grotesque figures more distinctly visible, the ground was lighted up by a variety of coloured fires. which mate chilly added to the general display. The balloons ascended simultaneously, and at an altitude of several hundred feet exploded, .discharging fireworks of every description, and ending in one gene ral conflagration, forming a coup the most brilliant. The applause of the spectators was loud and long.continued. We per ceive that on Monday next (the last night of the season) Mr. R. Wardell and Mr. T. Bolt, the leisee and treasurer, will take a joint benefit, when all the talent of the metropolitan theatres, in renjunction with the artistes of Vauxhall, will appear, and thus render theii•te the most brilliant of the season.: _ . FATAL RAILWAY ACCI DENT .—O n Monday morn lng last, about eight o'clock, a fatal accident occurred at the junc tion of the Leigh and Kenyon with the Liverpool and Manchester line. A young woman, about twenty years of age, named Ellen Platt, of Tyldesley, near Leigh, started from the Bag.lane (Chow be nt) station, with the intention of proceeding to Liverpool by the half-past seven train. On arriving at Kenyon Junction, she got out of the carriage at the contrary side to that which is customary, and walked round the carriages on to the Liverpool and Man. cheater line, for the purpose of crossing to the place where the Manchester train stops, to convey the Liverpool passengers to their destination. At this moment the whistle was heard, and a train of third-class carriages was seen rapidly approaching on the track which the unfortunate woman was just stepping upon. A working man, who was traveling from Bolton to Warrington, witnessing her danger, rushed forward to endeavour to save her, when the " buffer" of the engine threw them both a considerable distance ; they were taken up and conveyed to the railway station, and every assistance was rendered by Mr. Bradshaw, superintendent of the Bolton line, Mr. Linton, superintendent of the county constabulary, who happened to be in the train, and others. Mr. Bradshaw dis patched an express engine to Leigh for medical assistance, and Mr. Brldeoake, surgeon, was speedily on the spot, but in less than half an hour from the time of the accident the woman expired. The man, we understand, is doing as well as can be expected, and has i been conveyed to his residence at Bolton. — Manchester Guardian. LoNnt):l AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.—SOIDC de lay took place yesterday in the arrival of the first mail train. The delay is stated to have arisen from some of the carriages getting off the rail at some distance from London. DRATut FRom THIdi'ALL OF A WALL.—On Saturday last an i nquest was held a t th e R oc k , B roc k moor, before T. M.

Turkey red goods have been in some slight demand, but with the exception of 9 twills, which would fetch a fair price, the rates are as yet low and unrecnunerating. For the finer qua lities of lappets and bleached mulli some inquiry has existed, but the lower ones are not in request. Prints, zebra dresses, harness sprigs, &c., will probably be in demand at a more advanced period of the season. Of the first-named only a few furniture styles have hitherto met with a sale. Yarns—Mule twist, from No. 20 to 60, is a shade higher than last month, but the transactions have been very limited up to the present time. The only sales of which we have been informed are 10,0001 b., No. 60 at 6 annas, and 8,0001 b., No. 40, at 9S annas, per lb. A scale of 7,0001 b., No. 20 water, has recently taken . place at annas 7i per lb.' Turkey red yarn has been in request, and for average 40 of good colour and weight, rs. 1 13 per lb. has been paid.: In orange sales have taken place at our previous quotations, quality and weight good. The demand for this discriptign is not active. Woollens—These are extremely dull of sale, and the stocks continue very large. The season for the disposal of them, how ever, cannot he said to have as yet opened. Marine Stores—Pitch has improved in value to the extent of I rupees per barrel, and 700 barrels have been sold at the advanced price of 4 rupees. In the prices of the other arti cles under this head we hear of no change. Paint is neglected, and the demand for canvas and cordage is slack. We hear of a sale of 124 kegs of white paint, at l4i rupees per Cwt., but this price could not now be obtained for the article. - Beer—We quote Allsopp's and Bass's both at 60 rupees per hhd., and other brands nominal. MIAND. DUBLIN, Srvr. 30.—A special meeting of the Corporation has been called for to-morrow, in order to give Mr. O'Connell an opportunity of stating his views in reference to the borough hoes. The Hon. and Learned Gentlemen leaves town on Friday evening for Killarney. THE CORN MARKET. There was a farther decline of Is. 6d, to 2s. per barrel on wheat at this day's market. The provincial papers received this morning contain very favourable reports of the harvest in the late districts. The potato panic has nearly subsided. —Yes. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

There are certain parties who imagine that they have been readers of history in their youth, but discover, in mature age, that they have not only been egregiously deceived in assuming that to be authentic which they have read, but that its most important passages are pre cisely those which they have since forgotten. They then endeavour to console themselves, under the un pleasant conviction to which they are reluctantly brought, by finding mares' nests, in the shape of events which they suppose the most eminent historians to have over looked, or the most intelligent readers to have put some false construction upon, if they have been recorded. It is always amusing to observe the high value they put upon their " waifs and estrays" of history, where they consider them to be discoveries ; or the grave com placency with which they dwell upon the erroneous im pressions they pronounce all the rest of the world to have entertained of the bearing of facts that are on all hands admitted. The writer of a paper called the " Stuarts in Exile," with which the present number of Dolman opens, comes within this class of readers of history. There is as much oblivion of some facts as there is misconstruction of others, in the following so phisticated attempt to palliate the treason committed by the most imbecile of the Stuarts to the constitution he had sworn to respect:— " With the name of James the Second, Catholicism and arbitrary power are, in the minds of a great majority of per sons, superficially acquainted with the facts of English history, inseparably connected: and nevertheless, the worst crime which can be laid to his charge is, that m the exer cise of a prerogative which he believed himself to possess, and of which the legal limits ha 1 in fact never been authoritatively defined, he attempted to carry out certain great principles of civil and religious liberty, whereof in our own more en lightened times all parties have recognised the justice and wisdom. The alleged designs of James to subvert the Es tablished Church, and reinstate Catholicism in its stead, were simply tantamount to the enactments of the Catholic Relief Bill, which, a century and a half later, conferred equality of social rights upon a long proscribed and persecuted portion of the general community. This special pleading has not even the defence of novelty. It-has been urged and argued by the personal friends and servants of the last of the Stuarts, from Pepys and Evelyn to the Jesuit pamphleteers of our own times. It is only necessary to supply one omission in this plea to rebut and extinguish it. The vindictive dis position exercised by James, in 1687, in dismissing the judges for refusing to recognise the " dispensing power" he had assumed in 1686, cannot, at any rate, be softened down to " an attempt to carry out certain great principles of civil and religious liberty." The royal mandate, too, for the induction of a Popish priest into the mastership of a Protestant college in a Protestant university, was something very like an overt act to justify and corrobo rate the "alleged designs" of the same infatuated King " to subvert the Established Church and reinstate Roman Catholicism in its stead." The narrative portion of this paper has singular merits. It is highly wrought, well sustained, and gives us graphic portraits of the im moveable insensibility of George 1., and the sanguinary brutality of the " butcher of Culloden," the Duke of Cumberland, as of the unhappy James 11., and the Old and the Young Pretenders. "Darby Duff, the Madman," is continued and concluded—a tale full of horrors, but of thrilling interest. The three stanzas, entitled " Ave Maria," have certainly never been equalled for their un mitigated " namby-pamby" and no meaning since the " verses" ascribed by Pope's waggery to " A person of quality." An "Analysis of Wit from lEsop to Punch" is drawn in this number to a close ;—a spirited and smart affair, worthy of the subject. Here is a fine, fresh, gush ing pastoral by the Rev. J. Fitzgerald, quite an accept able supplement to the very late instalments of fine weather, which, with all thankfulness, we have to ac knowledge at the commencement of October : THE SONG OF THE SEASONS. SPRING. I breathe of the zephyr, so fresh and so cold, And the crocus and primrose are shining in gold, My skies full of sunshine, with blue-coloured wing, With dew-drops are sprinkled, my rivulets sing, All hail to thy glories, beautiful Spring! This is my lay, • Huzza! Huzza! SUMMER,. My glory is felt when the daylight awakes, O'er valleys, hills, rivers,-and beautiful lakes; Then my zone flower-woven is gemmed with dew, While the roof of my temple is Heaven's own blue, With the diamonds of midnight shining thro'. This is my lay, Huzza! Iluzza! AUTUMN. Hark ! hither I come, thro' wave, thro' air, O'er drooping boughs, with their golden hair, To the song of the vintage and lay of the lute, Now dances the corn, now blushes the fruit, While valleys are vocal and cataracts shoot. This is my lay, Huzza! Huzza ! `mischief may be prevented by a steady adherence on the part of Sir Robert Peel to one set of principles and one line of conduct. If his faith in the support of the enlightened public, and reliance on their strength, should increase, it may be hoped and expected that his course will become more uniform and steady; that a wavering and somewhat tortuous direc tion will no longer detract from its merit, and render his tenure of office precarious. At the present moment he is, in fact, without a party; he is Minister solely by necessity; and this necessity he may strengthen by separating himself from all mere party ties, and by guiding himself entirely by those great principles of civil, religious, and commercial liberty, which from time to time he broadly enunciates, but which, unfortunately, he seldom consistently follows. He cannot, indeed, nor can any man, rule this country, without con stantly and sedulously watching the conflicting opinions and interests which pervade every part of our system. Something, doubtless, must in most cases be yielded to compromise; but such compromise ought not to assume the character of con tradictory principles. No man who really desires to 'govern this country, for its good, and with its own enlightened con sent, can safely h , tzard the contradiction involved in the pass ing of the Irish Colleges Bill, and the rejection of Mr. Ruther furd's proposed measure. The repetition of such a proceeding would gravely compromise the power of any minister, no matter how firmly established, and must &like to its centre a power resting on foundations so unstable as those of the pre sent Administration. What is really needed by Sir Robert Peel is a generous confidence in popular enlightenment. We sincerely hope experience is giving him this absolutely ne cessary quality fur a really great statesman." WINTER. I come with a spirit untouched by care, Tho' Time and his breezes have thinned my hair ; Hearty, tho' cold, my vigour unbroke, Like the time-honotted boughs of my own old oak ! Thus Winter exclaiad, and he sigh'd as he spoke. This is my lay, Huzza! Huzza! "The Countess Clemente" (by the elitor of Dolman's Magazine) is continued through several chapters. "Re vival of Christian Art in Germany" is a renewed at tempt (on the folly of which we have already expressed a strong opinion) to exalt the school and the produc tions of the Van Eycks and the Durers—the Giottos and the Peruginos— above the school of Raffaelle espe cially, on the notable principle that the sublime artist of Urbino has imparted too much of the material beauty of form and refined elegance of sentiment of the best ages of classical antiquity to his representations, not alone of the Apostles and Martyrs, but of the Divine Founder of the Christian faith and His sainted mother. The hard Umbrian school of the Middle Ages, and the fresco revivers of modern Germany, are to supplant in our veneration and respect as Christian men, it seems, the glorious " Materialism" —say, rather, the intellectual inspiration of the Bolognese, or the Florentine and the Venetian schools, since the Pontificates of Alexander VI. and Pius 111., Julius 11. and Leo X. We are to look coldly on the Titians, and the Guidos, and the Guercenos;—but we are to sing Te Deem for the triumphs of a hundred " unkempt' Germans, who, since Frederic Overbeck " first crossed the mountains" (like another Hannibal) in 1809, and has since been followed by Cornelius and Schad ~w , Schno rr , Vogel, Eggers, and all the rest of the " Teutonic school" (God help us!), whose disciples are to displace from their thrones those incomparable masters of the art to whom the civilised portion of the human family has rendered, and continues to pay, the willing homage of its respect, and admiration, and gratitude!—" Risum teneatis?" TAI T'S lIIAG AZINE The English Opium-Eater has an article on the Temperance Movement of Modern Times," and no man could treat the subject better. He writes from experience. He suffered grievously from the excessive use of opium, and finally conquered a habit which he feared had become inveterate and uncontrollable ;—his advice therefore to those threatened with backsliding in the temperance movement. The instructions arc classed under nine different heads. In one of them he says: —" I counsel the patient not to make the mistake of suppo,ing that his amendment will necessarily pro ceed: :pc suppose o o r s n a o e to r b bey such Sunday, l an continuously, or by equal increments ; because sel Sou have got over th e this, which is a common notion, will certainy lead to dangerous disappointments. How f requent l y I hare When fourth language d a y heard people aos r a encoura gi thisng a i then Monday will find you a trifle better ; Tuesday better still,—though still it should be only by a trifle ; and so on. You may, at least, rely on never going back ; you may assure yourself of having seen the worst ; and the positive improvements, if trifles separately, must soon gather into a sensible magni tude.' This may be true in a case of short standing ; but, as a general rule, it is perilously delusive. On the contrary, the line of progress, if exhibited in a geome trical construction, would describe an ascending path upon the whole, but with frequent retrocessions into descending curves, which, compared with the point of ascent that had been previously gained and so vexatiously interrupted, would sometimes seem deeper than the original point of starting. This mortifying tendency I can report from experi ences many times repeated with regard to opium." We recommend the entire treatise, however, to the wavering disciples of Father Mathew. The critique on Nelson's Dispatches is well written, and possesses in terest. We may make the same remark on "Monastic Studies, Jests, and Eccentricities ;" but the best article in the number is on the " Present State of Politics," from which we give the subjoined extract. Speaking of Sir Robert Peel, the writer says : "His strength, now, is derived from two sources;—the one is the opinion, in his favour, of a large and enli g ht ene d section of the public. This favour has been won by the evi dence which his conduct bas afforded, as well of skill, as of a regard to the governing spirit and increasing enlightenment of the times in which we live. The other source of his strength is the weakness of all other parties, and all other partymen. Many have been the occasions during the two last years, when, if the Whigs had not been utterly destroyed in popular estimation, Sir Robert Peel would have been ex cluded from his office. Had the Whigs, in the year 1837, magnanimously resigned, because unable to carry out their views of what the necessities of the nation required, they would have regained much of the reputation they had for feited, and would now have been able to appeal to a favoura ble people for their suffrages. But, as they chose to cling to power while a shred of it remained, each day saw their wan ing consideration grow less, till the bright luminary of 1832 became extinct in 1841 ; and many are the revolutions and changes, and long the time that must pass, before any section of the Liberal party have acquired power and consideration sufficient to enable them to seize upon the government of the country. The Tory party, in the meanwhile, are divided, weakened, and without any leader of ability to head them. Were Sir Robert reel to resign or be ousted to-morrow, one mouth's Parliamentary campaign would utterly embroil all parties, and every attempt to organise a stable administration would prove abortive. The affairs of the country would in deed go on, by means of their inherent force and energy; but all real advance would be seriously delayed, and the utmost good that we could expect or hope would be, that no positive calamity would occur ;—a fearful risk, when we consider what is the condition of the world abroad, and that the peace of Europe and the world may at any moment be seriously en dangered by the death of the King of the French, an old though a vigorous man. These considerations contribute largely to the maintenance of Sir Robert Peel's influence. We do not believe, indeed, that he can be ousted by any coin bination.of Tory forces ; and, as we have already said, no Whig administration is at this moment possible. Yet we can well understand that many circumstances might occur to place him in a minority; and thus, perhaps, induce him to resign. A scramble would follow, honourable to no party, and by no means beneficial to the public. Any retrograde course cannot safely be adopted. If Sir Robert Peel, in the very flush of victory, and with a large ' and obedient majority at his command, found Tory rule impossible, we need not fear any permanent establishment of such a dominion. Rash men may attempt to fix such a yoke on the people; but they will quickly discover their own folly, and learn how wise and pru dent WllB the abrse of 'their wary predeees3i*, But this SUPPLEMENT TO THE EVENING SUN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1845.

The following report of a case at Henry-street Police-office, yesterday, will give our readers an idea of the lengths to which the Dublin detective police are permitted by the autho rities to carry their irresponsibility : Two very well-dressed and handsome-looking young men, who gave their names as Joseph Fisher arid Thomas Phillips, were brought up in custody of the detective force, under the following circumstances : Mr. Frank Smyth appeared as counsel, with Messrs. C. Fitzgerald and Edward Fulham as agents, for the prisoners, who were taken up on suspicion of having committed a felony in the Bank of Ireland on Friday last, when some money was stolen from gentlemen who were transacting business in that establishment. Brennan, one of the detective police, stated that, from infor mations which he had received, he arrested Fisher in Sack.. vile-street on Saturday. He took the prisoner off a car, where he was with some other persons. He (Brennan) knew the prisoners bad arrived from England, and were going to the fair of Ballinasloe, and he suspected they would commit a felony if they could, and he had also reason to suspect that they belonged to the swell mob, and therefore he arrested them. He got thirty-one sovereigns and 5/. 10s. in notes on Fisher, with a gold watch, chain, &c., and, in fact, every thing that a person might expect to find with a gentleman of property. On cross-examination by Mr. Smyth, Brennan admitted that he neither saw nor knew of the prisoner doing anything wrong—in fact, he knew nothing about him, except that he (Brennan) suspected he would commit a felony if he got an opportunity, and therefore be arrested him. Mr. Bardin was examined to show that he lost money in the bank, but he could not tell who stole it; he never saw the prisoner before. Mr. Smyth produced Mr. Beckley, of the Sheffield Hotel, who proved that Mr. Fisher was in the habit of stopping at his hotel, and that he always had plenty of money, and was a gentleman who kept his horse and gig; he had the highest opinion of Mr. Fisher, who on one occasion ordered a suit of clothes, which were sent to the hotel after Mr. Fisher left, and he (witness) paid for them, and the property remained in his house for a long time ; and on Mr. Fisher coming to Cork, some months after, witness sent the clothes, and Mr. Fisher remitted the amount at once. Mr. Smyth said it was monstrous to take up a gentleman on such a charge, and he urged that he must at once be dis. charged. Mr. Tyndall said there was no case made against the pri soner, and at once set him at liberty. Thomas Phillips, a very fine and intelligent young man, apparently about sixteen years of age, was then put forward. The evidence against him was the same as in the last case, and Brennan said he got four sovereigns on him when arrested. Mr. Smyth (to Brennan)—Was there not a large paper placard put on this young gentleman's hat, with the words " English thief and swell mob" written on it ?—Yes, but that was not done by me. Mr. Smyth—Was he not marched through the streets with that paper on his hat, in order that the public might see him ?—Yes, he was. Mr. Smyth—And was he not taken through the streets to Pim's, in George-street, and paraded before the customers in that house, with the placard on his hat ?—Yes, he was. Mr. Smyth—And you brought him there to try if he had purchased a pin which he had, and which he told you he bought there for 14s. ?—Yes. Mr. Smyth—And his story was found to be perfectly cor rect ?—lt was. _ _ _ . Mr. Smyth—And he was then taken through the streets ,o the Lower Castle-yard to the office of Mr. O'Connor ? Mr. Smyth—And he was brought . through the streets with five or six detective policemen jeering at and pointing him out to the pe•ple ?—Yes, he was. Mr. Smyth—And I believe you took him to almost all the chapels and churches in Dublin on Sunday with the placard on his hat, and pointed him out to the congregation, and asked if any person had lost anything, and if so, could they identify the prisoner ?—Yes, that is true, and I was or dered to do it. Mr. Smyth—Good; and then after marching him about the town all day on Sunday, you took him to College street station, where he was confined ever since ?—Yes, sir. Mr. Smyth said perhaps the present was the most outra geous act committed by the detective police. Life or liberty was not safe in Ireland while such a system was permitted to remain, and he would certainly make a representation of the facts to the Government, for if this horrid system of espionage was permitted any longer, there would be no security to the person either by law or national liberty. He submitted that Mr. Phillips must be instantly discharged. Mr. Tyndall at once set the young man at liberty, as he had no case against him. REPRESENTATION OF KERRY.—It is said that Mr. Hirbert, of Mucross, is to start for Kerry on the repeal interest. AGRARIAN OUTRAGE IN ROSCOMMON.—On the night of September 5 six heifers, the property of Mr. John Goldsmith, were houghed on the lands of Ballyonghter, near Elphin. On the morning of the 22d Mr. James .olan's herd, on the lands of Castleplunket, found sixteen of the heifers in his charge stabbed in the flanks; three were dead, and the others mortally injured. A bayonet was found in the body of one. The value of them before the injury was estimated at 15 guineas each. We find, on looking over the county books, that at the last spring and summer assizes the suns cf 299/. 13s. 6d. was presented as a compensation for malicious isijuries, as follows :—Athlone barony, 1081. 13s. ; Ballintobber barony, 601. 10s. ; Frenchpark barony, 12/. 12s. ; 3loycarron barony, 331. 6s. 6d. ; Boyle barony, 211. 10s.; Roscommon barony, 63/. 2s ; .—Total, 2991. 13s. 6d. ROYAL AGRICULTURAL IMPROYE3IENT SOCIETY OF IRE- AND.—BALLINASLOE, MONDAY EVENlNG:Notwithstanding this being the immediate eve of the great agricultural meet ing and annual cattle show, the town is filling but very slowly. A mighty influx of strangers was this day con fidently expected, but the arrivals have, however, been upon a very moderate scale. The proprietors of lodging-houses— many of whom have gone to much more considerable ex pense than for the ordinary occasion of the great fair, in the hope, of course, of reaping a golden harvest in proportion— will, it is anticipated, suffer serious disappointment. There remain at this moment, as I have been informed, 500 beds to let. The coming in of the cattle and other sorts of stock for exhibition is progressing steadily, and every preparation to render the show itself in the highest degree effective is com pleted. A trial of agricultural implements, comprising ploughs, harrows, grubbers, scarifiers, &c., took place this afternoon, in a:field in the neighbourhood. Judges appointed to this department were present to test, by personal observa tion, the merits of each "newest invention," so as to be thereby better qualified to discriminate between the respective characters in making their awards. THE DETECTIVE Poucr..—Mr. Inspector O'Connor, of the detective police, has just made his appearance here, and half a dozen of his corps will be down from Dublin in the course of the evening. He has been taking a quiet survey of the town, peering about with his hawk-eyes, and innocently observing all that is going on. In the course of his ambula tions he was observed " measuring " some characters whom he conceives to be fair game for his detective powers. Those lads" evidently knew the detective, and " measured " him, Indeed it, was most amusing to witness the little by-pla between, O'Conaor and the swell mob "gentry," for sue: they are. MEETING OF THE COUNCIL The Council met to-day at the Agricultural Hall, for the purpose of appointing judges and stewards. The Earl of Clancarty presided. Among the members present were Lord Ashtown, Wood lawn, Kilconnell ; Lord Clancarty, Garbally Park ; Lord Viscount Clements, M.P., Loughregan, Mohill ; Lord Clon brock, Clonbrock; Lord Crofton, Moate Park, Athlone; the Duke of Leinster, Carton, Maynooth ; Lord River ton, Flower-hill, Killiman ; Lord Walscourt, Oranmore ; Robert Archbold, Esq., M.P., Davidstown, Castle- Dermott ; Major Bole, lleury-street, Dublin ; 'William Blacker, Esq., Market-hill, Armagh ; Thomas Bermingham, Esq. ; Sir Michael Dillon B e ll ew , B art., Mount Bellew ;Robert Bodkin, Esq., Thomas H.

Shaw Taylor, Esq., Castle Taylor; E. K. Tennisson, Kilbona, Carrick-on-Shannon, and I. Trench, Esq., Mounthenry, Ballybrittas. After a good deal of desultory conversation, and some rather warm debating relative to the capabilities of the respective gentlemen named as judges, the following were appointed for short horned cattle :—Messrs. Hugh Watson, John H. Drought, and Torr, an Engli s h gentleman. The judges f or th e other section were also appointed, but as it has not been definitively ascertained whether they can conveniently aet or not, they deem it the more advisable course not to give their names Some routine business connected with the internal arrange ment of the show-yard having been transacted, the list of toasts for the Council dinner was considered, and, after some discussion, settled. There will be no less than fourteon sen timents, each to be proposed by a different speaker, and each to be responded to, so that we shall have not less than 28 speeches. The principal speakers will be Lord Devon, Lord Clonbrock, Lord Clancartv, the Duke of Leinster, M a j or Bryan, William Blacker, fag., Lord Crofton, theAlariqauidisfoorf Downshire, and the Earl of Erne.Covers have been three hundred, red, and it is calculated that close on that number will attend. INQUEST ON CAPTAIN J. G. DURBAN, R.N.--Yea terday afternoon a long inquiry took place at the Old Cock Tavern, Market- street, St. James's, respecting the death of Captain John Gooch D'Urban, aged forty-five, residing at No. 8, Norris-street, Haymarket. Mary Ann Huson stated that the deceased came home on Sunday evening between nine and ten o'clock, apparently in good health. He went up stairs to his apartment, as witness supposed to bed. On Monday morning, about eight o'clock, witness proceeded to the deceased's bed-room with some hot water, as was her usual custom. Witness knocked several times at the door, but not receiving lany answer, opened the door, and went into the room. She then discovered the deceased lying on his left side upon the bed, undressed, and quite in sensible. Witness raised an alarm and sent for Mr. Arm strong, the' surgeon, who pronounced life to have been extinct several hours. Captain W. S. Cooper, RN., de posed that he had been on very intimate terms with the deceased, whom he had known for several years. He was the son of Sir Benjamin D'Urban. Deceased had formerly been in command of the Griffin, which came home from the West Indies about five years ago, since which period he had been of very weak health. Witness had dined with the deceased nearly every day for the last six weeks. He gene rally complained of an affection of the heart. On Sunday evening last, about seven o'clock, they dined together at the Junior United Service Club-house. Deceased was much better than he had been for some weeks past. He told wit ness he had had a long walk in the Regent's-park. Witness left him about half-past eight o'clock at the Club-house. Dr. Michael Lambton Este, formerly surgeon to the Life Guards, said that he had known the deceased for the last two years. He had been labouring under disease of the heart, or some large vessel in its immediate vicinity. Witness saw him on Sunday evening last. He was then in better health and spirits than be had seen him for some months. Witness was strongly of opinion that he had over-exerted himself in walking too far on the Sunday afternoon, as such excitement was likely to prove fatal to a man in his condition. Other corroborative evidence having been adduced, the jury re- L u e rn arT e( p l ur a ens v e e nu r t d d i o c us t r o ni f TgA " tth N se a i t n A n g r :D al iry.

PORTS3IOUTI3.—THE FEVER ON THE COAST OF AFEIcA. —Nothing has excited such a painful degree of interest since the frightful mortality which occurred twenty years since on board the Bann, 20, sloop, on the coast of Africa, than the distressing accounts which have reached England of the fearful ravages of the fever in her Majesty's squadron on that station. The deplorable condition of the Eclair, steam sloop, is the theme of general conversation, and the greatest anxiety is manifested at the ports to ascertain the names of those who have fallen victims. As usual, conflicting reports are in circulation as to the number of deaths on board the Eclair, and it was reported, at Devonport, on the arrival of the Growler, steam-sloop, Commander Buckle, which vessel towed the disabled Eclair from Goree to Madeira, that when the Eclair reached that island only six white men of the crew were surviving, the remainder being men of colour. We are, however, enabled to state that up to yesterday the total number of deaths was 65. The commander, a fine young officer, died on the 16th of September, and the sur geon, Mr. Maconchy, on the 21st of that month. Two poor fellows expired on Monday morning. The following is a full account of the names of the victims : Officers—Walter G. B. Estcourt, commander, died Sept. 16; John Maconchy, surgeon, Sept. 21; Thomas R. Hallett, paymaster and purser, Sept. 8 ; Charles Hurtman, assistant surgeon, Sept. 6;, 11r. Mulls, clerk, Sept. 6; Mr. Simmonds, naval cadet; Mr. Goman, master's assistant. Petty Oflicers—Thomas Davis, leading stoker ; Joseph Gunge, caulker ; William Bream, captain's coxswain ; John Mulls, quartermaster ; John Gibson, ditto ; Henry Gardner, ditto ; James Fielden, captain of forecastl e . Stoers—William Cainor, Frederick Cl egge t, Willi am Thomas, William Aaron, Charles Monk, James M'Dermot, Patrick Connolly, James Granetty, Garett Keely, John Sul livan, and Michael Gallaghan. Able Seamen—William Skinner, James Barwick, George Steel, Henry Cory, Alexander Cox, Nicholas Dillon, Mathew Garen, Henry Goodhugh. Ordinary Seamen-IVilliam Hardman, Frederick Ward, James Watson, John Powder, George Brown, William Thorp, James Startrip, Thomas Colman ; Henry Fudge, captain's steward ; William King, captain's cook ; •John Wright, . purser's steward.

The Eclair remained at the Motherbank last evening, with the yellow flag with the black ball ce n t re flying. . The stir. the Inspector not f H lan as d i e a ( r i o t s h p e i t a ll() morning, Dr. ff b utD . medicalßm storesh ard Richardson, f l r 'i es " h rs pr l' v ere ision o s to her. A lighter was dispatched to the pro scribed vessel yesterday morning, to supply h e r with coals, and she is ordered to proce e d roun d t o th e quarantine station, at Standgate Creek, where she will be under the yellow flag, but will be better provided with assistance and medical advice. Most likely she will be in a condition to leave to-day. The fever is said to be of a most deadly and contagious character. Admiral Sir C. Ogle assumed the office of commander in chief at Portsmouth yesterday morning; his flag was hoisted on board the Excellent, Captain Charts (pro tern.), and re ceived the usual salutes from that ship, the Victory, and the Formidable. The Formidable, 84, Captain Rich, has not yet left Spit head, but the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir E. C. R. W. Owen was struck last evening. Tho Admiral and Lady Owen landed on Tuesday evening, and remain at present at the George Hotel. It is much regretted that the defective state of the Formidable will preveni licr joining the experimontal fleet. The Superb, 80, Captain A. L. Corv, went into Portsmouth Harbour on Tuesday, and into dock all standing yesterday. Her men are hulked on board the Victorious; her copper was perfectly clean and in excellent order, not a wrinkle or swell to be seen, , it hati ng b een only flattened down about 16 weeks back. So soon as the w a t er was clear from the dock, men were sent on to rip off the copper. She will be fresh caulked and coppered. What oth er process she will undergo iwe cannot tell ; but t is understood the shipwrights and ntodock. She did to her do n caulkers are to work early and late, t o get her readytocomoet knowo t o f adock reason t to-morrow. o f r o r r o . this , officers ship c omcoming belonging i not leak, her copper was clean, and nearly new, As we have hinted, made further alterations than coppermg and ca u lki ng may be made. ENGLISH JUSTICE.—The Siecle, in an article upon the partiality with which justice is administered in England, remarks:--" Summary justice in England is expeditious and sure. A person arrested during the night, or th e p rav i ous evening, is on the following morning taken before the judge. The court is public, and the case is consequently tried in presence of a numerous auditory. The witnesses are heard, after which the party accused states what he may have to say in his defence. The policemen make their charge, and the judge passes sentence. In a few minutes the affair is finished. This mode of proceeding combines at once sure justice with promptitude of judgment. A magistrate is thus enabled to get th roug h from fifty to sixty causes during the day. This system would be perfect if it had better organs; but the police magistrates, who are generally chosen from among the most able lawyers, belong to a class of citizens in ' which rank and fortune are held in high esteem. They have their share, and a great share, of the national weakness; their equity, which does not vary in ordinary cases, wavers, and frequently yields, when they are called upon to try faults or excesses of the aristocracy. The law, as they ad minister it, is severe for the poor, and indulgent for the rich. In imitation of the aristocratic society in which they live, they look upon poverty as an aggravating circumstance, and opulence as one which lessens the edium.
