The intended line has been inspected by qualified parties. For a considerable distance it is of an easy character, and throughout it presents no striking or costly engineering features. No residential case occurs, and the promoters have confidence that the undertaking will be cordially approved of by the landed and other local interests. It has the sanction and active assistance of Directors from almost every line o: railway which it affects, either immediately or re motely. It has been submitted to the Council of the borough of Southampton, by whom resolutions in its favour have been unani mously passed. It has the earnest support of the inhabitants of that town, and of the manufacturing and commercial classes of the North, and the promoters are not aware of any grounds, either public or private, upon which the sanction of Parliament can be withheld from it. _ _ Forms of Applications for Shares, Copies of the Prospectus, and a Map of the Line, may be obtained from the Secretary, Mr. John Wheeler, at the Offices of the Company, No. 19, Great George-street, Westminster ; from Mr. James Wheeler, Solicitor, 58, George-street, Manchester ; from Messrs.

This line is the natural result of opening out, by an important main trunk like the South Wales Railway, a country rich in minerals, with a large and rapidly increasing population, both of which have hitherto been but imperfectly supplied with the means of transit. The numerous mines, collieries, iron, copper, tin plate, tire brick, chemical, and other works, already in operation and in course of being opened, in the interior of South Wales, especially in the country through which this line will pass, and which are now being exten sively multiplied there, seek a snore speedy and ready access to the main line than existing modes supply, and hence the necessity for affording to the important valley between Neath and Merthyr Tydvil the most perfect means of communication, not only with the South Wales Railway, but with the ports of Neath and Swansea, the natural and legitimate outlets for the produce of the valley ; whence the supply of flour and other provisions from Ireland can be cheaply and expeditiously conveyed into the heart of the country. The proposed line will commence at Neath by a junction with the South Wales Railway, will continue up the Valley to near Pont Walby, thence to Merthyr Tydvil, passing within a short distance of the extensive iron works lying in that district. The advantage of the natural fall of country, being from Merthyr to Neath, calls forth a strong opinion in the following extract from the report of the Board of Trade on Railways in South Wales : "By the proposed line (the South Wales) the principal towns and commercial emporiums, which are situated along the coast at the bottom of the valleys, are placed upon the main line, to which the traffic from the interior will descend—a consideration which is very important when we recollect that a great part of this traffic will sonsist of heavy minerals." The Vale of Neath intersects the great coal and iron fields of South Wales, and possesses anthracite, as well as bituminous coal, in great abundance. In addition to the collieries and iron works, there are also tin works adjoining the proposed line, and valuable timber, to the ealleit of 4,000 acres. _ _ _ It is unnecessary to give a detailed estimate of the probable re venue that will arise from the Vale of Neath Railway; it is sufficient to say, that, in the districts between and through which it will pass, the population numbers above 80,000, depending chiefly on the sup plies now transmitted to the interior through Swansea and Neath; that the intercourse between the above towns is such as to bear out a most favourable estimate of passenger traffic; and that 200,000 tons of coal, exclusive of other minerals, are exported annually from the Vale of Neath, finding a ready market in France, Ireland, Somerset shire, Devonshire, Cornwall, London, and other places. From these mere outlines it is evident that the increased facility of transit which this Railway will afford over the present modes of conveyance, con nected as it will be with Swansea and Briton Ferry (the port of Ileath) by means of the South Wales Railway, will produce a cor responding increase of yroduction and traffic. Under the latter head, as regards passengers, may be taken into consideration the large numbers that resort to Swansea from the interior for sea bathing, and the strikingly picturesque and richly varied beauty of the Vale of Neath, with its famed waterfalls, will be a source of never-failing attraction to tourists and parties of pleasure. The most favourable opinion is entertained of the Vale of Neath Railway by almost all the lauded proprietors along the line, the majority of whom are members of the Provisional Committee, the lessees of collieries, and parties en g a g ed in shipping ; and its im portance as a profitable investment may be judged from the fact that the Neath Canal, which now traverses only half the distance of the proposed line, and affords, even to that limited extent, but imperfect accommodation, has for many years paid a large dividend to the proprietary, and the original 1001. shares are now marketable at 8401. Prospectuses may be had, and applications for shares may be ad dressed, in the form annexed, to the secretary, at the offices of the Company, 440, West Strand, London, and to the Solicitors in Lon don, or Noah. In the allotment of the shares of the Company, a preference will be given to parties locally interested, and to the Proprietors of Shares in the South Wales Railway Company. The usual power will be taken by the Act, to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum on the amount of subscriptions paid up ; and no subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his de posit of 11. 10s. per share, until the Act is obtained, and then not be yond the amount of his subscription.

Wednesday, the 30th day of July, 1845. A Meeting of the Council of the Borough of Southampton was this day held at the Audit House, or Council Chamber, in the said Borough. The Plan of the intended Railway between Manchester and South ampton having been submitted to this Council, — It was resolved unanimously— That a Direct Line of Railway Communication between Southamp ton and 3fanchestsr, such as is proposed by " the Manchester and Southampton Railway Company," is calculated essentially to promote the interests of the town and port of Southampton, the neighbouring towns and districts, the rich agricultural counties through which it will pass, and afford to the great manufacturing districts the most direct communication with the English Channel, the Mediterranean, and all parts of the East and West Indies. That this Council will, t/terefore, to the utmost of its power, sup port the general features qtr this undertaking, and that a Committee be appointed to take such measures as may be most calculated to promote the object and secure the particular interest of Southamp ton connected therewith. That the Committee consist of— The Mayor Mr. Bernard Mr. Coswell Mr. Davies Mr. Lankester Mr. Le Fefeuvre Mr. Stebbing Mr. Cooper Mr. Spooner Mr. Tucker. It was resolved unanimously— That the thanks of this Council be tendered to James Walkinshaw, Esq , for the able and courteous manner in which he has laid before the Council the project of the Southampton and Manchester Railway. It was resolved unanimously— That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the Members for the town, the Members for the Southern Division of the county, and the Members for the Isle of Night; and that they be respectfully re quested to support the project by their votes and influence.

The Isle of Wight is distant from the main shore of Hampshire, at Portsmouth, about four miles, and at Southampton about eleven miles. It contains au active population of from 45,000 to 50,000 persons, and a surface o f a b out 100,000 acres. It is an extensive pasturage for sheep, 10,00 0 lambs being annua lly sold for the London market ; and, w hil st i t imports all the luxuries and many of the necessaries of life, it e xports a large quan tity of grain and of other commodities. It is a point of attraction to yisiters from every part of England, the steamers conveying to and fro about 200,000 persons annually. Railways already abut upon the Island at Southampton and Gcsport ; a third will run i n t he immediate ne i g hbourhood of Ly mington, and a terminus at P ortsmouth will shor tly add to the faci lities. A very large local population also lies in immediate neigh bourhood to the Island. The South-Western Railway Company carried, during the first 27 weeks of 1844, 390,000 persons, whilst in the like period of the pre sent year (pleasure trains having been established) the number car ried was 462,000, showing an increase, within a few months, of up wards of 71,000 travellers. The proposal is to construct a railway along the banks of the Me dina, from Cowes to the county town of Newport, and to Ventitor, with a fork to Ryde. The works will interfere with no residential or ornamental pro- perty. Contractors of the highest respectability are prepared to gua rantee the assumed cost. A gentleman of experience in the working of railways has investi gated the traffic with care and deliberation; and the result of his calculations, which are framed in strict accordance with the Parlia mentary rule, justifies the promoters in expecting a most abundant return upon the outlay.

Pilkington and IValker's office, to the Town-hall, I heard a report of fire arms when about half-way up Fishergate. The gun or pistol, whichever it was, was discharged close to me, and the smoke came about my head. Im mediately afterwards I was struck with a hard substance upon my right breast. Looking round to see who had thrown it, I saw that man (pointing to the prisoner). Richard Bennett. He looked conscious of having don e something wrong, and, knowing his character pretty well, I went up to him and seized him, when several per sons came about us. I called fur the police. Two men came up, and one man brought a pistol and said, " Here's the pistol." Ile said, "He (the prisoner) shot it- I saw him shoot it, and then throw the pistol at you." A policeman came up, and I told him to take him to the Town-hall, where I was going, and the magistrates would investigate the matter. This is all I know. _ The Rev. Gentleman's evidence having been taken down and signed, the prisoner was asked if he had any questions to ask the prosecutor, but he declined asking any. John Harrison was next examined. He said, I am a carder, and live in Riley-street, Preston. I was in Fishergate this morning about five minutes to eleven o'clock. I saw the prisoner fire a pistol at that gentle man (Mr. Moore), and afterwards throw the pistol at him, which struck him upon the right breast. Saw him take aim at Mr. Moore. The prisoner was close to Mr. Moore when he fired. I was just behind the prisoner. The prisoner faced Mr. Moore. I picked the pistol up on its falling after being thrown against that gentle man's breast, and have since given it to police-constable Williams. The prisoner declined asking the witness any ques tions. Adam Capstick, carder, of London-road, said—l was in Fishergate this morning with the last witness, John Harrison. I saw the prisoner fire a pistol at Mr. Moore; he was close to Mr. Moore, perhaps three yards distant. Prisoner then threw he pistol at him, and hit him on the right breast. Tire ball from the pistol passed Mr. Moore's coat, and went across the street. The prisoner said he would not ask any questions. Mr. Cunlitle—The last witness says he saw the ball pass Mr. Moore's coat and cross the street. l'risoner—He has very quick eyes then. William Kirby, Christ Churchyard, reeler, being sworn, said—l was in Fishergate this morning, and saw Mr. Moore and the prisoner. I saw the prisoner take a pistol out of his pocket. He fired instantly, but I can not swear that he aimed at Mr. Moore ; he then threw the pistol at him, and hit him on the right breast. Robert Sneyd Williams, police-constable, said— I re ceived the prisoner into custody, and charged him with having fired at Mr. Moore ; he replied, " We will see about that another day." I received the pistol from John Harrison, which I now produce ; the smoke I saw arise was apparently from fire-arms. The prisoner said—lle (Mr. Moore) has accused me of a crime lam not guilty of. I only want to make it known. The Chairman then said—You are committed to Lan caster Castle to take your trial at the assizes for shooting at Mr. Moore. The prisoner heard the decision of the Court with the utmost indifference. During the whole of the proceed ings he appeared to take little interest in them. During the examination of the prisoner the Town hall was very much crowded. The prisoner is the same person who was charged with having, at four o'clock in the morning of Tuesday, the 19th of April, 1836, blown up with gunpowder the house of Mr. Thomas Parkinson, of Kirkham. Bo is the son of Mr. Bennett, shoemaker, of Kirkham, and was in structed in the business of his father. He is about 34 years of age. Mr. Parkinson's house was blown up the day following the marriage of one of his daughters, with whom Bennett was ii► love, but to whom he had not de• dared his passion. This circumstance, added to the previous indifferent character he had borne, led to his apprehension on the charge, but,'by a singular anomaly in the law, the offsnce could notibe brought within any existing statute, and, of course, no indictment could be preferred against him. ASYLUM FOR FEMALE ORPHANS, WESTMINSTER ROAD._ermons were preached on S un d ay i n t h e chapel of this •S Institution in behalf of its funds; that in the morning by the Rev. C. E. Wyle, 13. A., morning preacher, and that in the evening by the Rev. W. Curling, 8.A., joint lecturer of St. Saviour's, Southwark, when six young women, brought up in the asylum, returned thanks for the benefits received in the Institution. After the morning service the children at present in the asylum were assembled in the large room, when testi monials of good conduct, of the most flattering description, were read from the mistresses with whom the young women had been placed after leaving the school, and various sums awarded to them as a mark of the esteem in which they are held by the friends and patrons of the Institution. " Mountjoy-sqaare, August 1, 1845. "My dear Mr. O'Connell,—l avail myself of the Graft possible monynt after my return to Dublin to correct a. mistake into which you have been unconsciously led by the report (apparently a veryinaccurate one) of a speech attributed to Sir James Graham. " The I'7 eeman's Journal, of the 22d ult., states, that at a public meeting on the preceding day, you spoke as follows • "6 I find in the Times of Friday last the followingdia love between Lord Arundel and Sir James Graham: the Earl of Arundel and Surrey salted whether it was the in tention of herMajesty'sG overnment to propose any armee& anent in the Charitable Bequests Bill? Sir James Graham replied that the Lord Lieutenant had received represen tations from the Roman Catholic Commissioners of the lkiard of IR quests, stating that the duty had devolved upon them of determining who the ecclesiastics were, who, in certain districts, were entitled to the benefit of the bequests loft to the clergy of the Church of Rome, and stating also that it was at variance with the canons of their church, whicir required that all matters of doc trine and discipline of this tiature should be settled by iht ir diocesans alone.' " You nee then said to have conflruiedthus :- 4 ' . oh I feel my heart at ease and my mind tranquil. I was accused and assailed and abused for offering my humble opinion that that Bill was uncanonical and in conaisteot with the canons of the Catholic church. They laug'bed at me for giving that opinion, poor theo logian as I am ; but humble as my opinion is, here it. is confirmed by those venerable characters themselves, the Most Reverend and always esteemed Dr. Murray, the Most Reverend Dr. Crony, and the Right Reverend Dr. Denvir. 1 have their authority that the Bill gave un canonical power to the Catholic prelates.' - " Believe me, my dear sir, that it gives me inexpres sible pain to be obliged to contradict, before the public, any assertion that you would think it right to make, and that it would be delightful to me, and to the other prelates in question, to be the medium of communi cating, were it in our power, that ease and tranquillity of which you speak, to a heart so fervently glowing as yours is with the love of religion. But as, on this occasion, you have been pleased to put my name prominently forward, the painful duty devolves on me of declaring that you have allowed yourself, in this instance, to be led, unintentionally of course, into an error, the publication of which is but too well calculated to cast a grievous censure upon characters which you would be most unwilling to defame. Permit me, then, most respectfully to assure you, that you have not the authority of the prelates in question to sus tain your assertion. They have never said, or hinted, or thought, that the Bequests Act gave to them an uncanonical power. The speech, therefore, on which you relied must have been most • inaccurately re ported; and the Minister must have alluded to objec tions which have been urged by the opponents of the Aet—objections which,-in the opinion of those prelates, had no solid foundation to rest on, but which they thought it right to bring under the notice of Government, in the hope that every pretext, how groundless soever. for the repetition of them, would be met by a suitable remedy, and Wen away. It would be strange, indeed, if those prelates would denounce as uncanonical a power which was granted to them for the sole and express purpose of enabling them to preserve inviolate the discipline and usages of our Church in the very case to which the objections allude. In the progress of this Act through Parliament, when there was question of ascertaining who, in a case of doubt, would be the persons entitled, according to the discipline and usages of the Catholic Church, to the benefit of a bequest left to a particular parish, an implied pledge was, it is understood, given at the request of some Catholic Member of the House, that Catholic bishops, as the authorised expounders of that disCipline, shouU be placed on the Board for the purpose of declaring in what manner this portion of the Act should be carried into effect, so as to be in-perfect conformity with the dis cipline and usages of our Church. This has been done, and the object for which it was proposed has been attained. The very first act of those prelates,: on entering the Board, was to place on record a decla ration of what, in such cases, the discipline of our Church is, that it may serve as a guide to regulate the decisions of all future Catholic Commissioners — namely, that in every such case the testimony of a bishop is to be received as conclusive evidence as to who is the rightful pastor of any parish in his diocese. Not only did this declaration, so laid down as a rule for the guidance of the Catholic Commissioners, receive, at once, the sanction of the entire board, but a miler rule was adopted by those members of the board who belong to other religious persuasions for their gui dance also, with regard to the pastors of their respective communion% ; so that the Protestant Bishop is thereby recognised to be the judge of who is the authorised rector of a parish ; the Presbyterian authorities who is the authorised minister of a congregation ; and the Catholic bishop who is his authorised parish priest. "By this rule the inviolability of our discipline, as far as regards the present question, is fully recognise d. To the strict observance of this rule, all the members of the Board are solemnly pledged, not only by their own recorded declarations, but also by the duty which they owe to their respective religions—a rule rendered thereby as binding upon men who have a character to sustain, as it could be rendered by any sanction of law. " Still, there are some, surprising as it must appear, whose over-sensitive scruples even this ample security has not been sufficient to satisfy. Those scruples, groundless as they are, we have felt it our duty to re spect • and we have never, therefore, concealed our wish that such a legislative explanation should be given as would wholly remove them. " But why bas not this been done during the present session ? The reason is obvious. It would be clearly inexpedient to introduce into Parliament without urgent necessity (and no such necessity exists), a new subject for angry debate about Catholic doctrines and discipline, while the deafening ow cry against Maynooth and its doc trines was still ringing in the public ear, and spreading the most inflammatory excitement throughout the land. " With respect to the hope expressed in the subse quent part of your speech, ' that the Catholic pre lates will see what course they should now take, and that they will not permit themselves to be committed any longer to the exercise of an uncanonical poser.' I have or ly to repeat that they have not committed them selves to the exercise of any such power ; and I beg further to assure you that it is their fixed determina tion to persevere, with the blessing of God, so long as the multiplied duties of their station will permit, in that charitable course, on which, at a great sacrifice of time and personal convenience, they have, as members of th© Charitable Bequests Board, deliberately entered, with the sole view of serving the poor, and of protecting, if necessary, the interests of our church. " I have the honour to remain, with respectful estcem, my dear Mr. O'Connell, very sincerely yours, " y D. MURRAY." ,MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON RAILWAY, by CHELTENH AM, MARLBOROUGH, and ANDOVER.

The purpose of this undertaking is to provide for Manchester and the manufacturing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Cheshire a direct access to Southampton, now the mail port to the Channel /g -lands, the West Indies, Mexico, Turkey, Egypt, the whole of Asia Minor, Spain, Portugal, Sicily, the Greek Islands, and the numerous other ports and Islands of the Mediteranean ; to Persia, the East Indies, and China, to which vast and Increasing markets the port of Southampton is becoming the outlet for British manufactures from the north. The postal communication is now effected by the circuitous route of London, and is necessarily subject to delay there, whereas on the completion of this railway, Southampton must necessarily become a far better point than London for the distributing of foreign letters. The merchandise shipped for foreign stations from Southampton is, in like manner, subject to delay, and to the inconvenience and added cost of cartage through the Metropolis, and transference from one railway to another. These evils are sensibly felt, as well at Southampton as by the general commercial interests of the country. The Collector of her Majesty's Customs at the port of Southampton stated, before recent Parliamentary Committees, that the exports from Southampton, of which in 1832 the declared value was only 62,1631., will this year exceed three millions sterling—that upwards of 40,000 persons em bark and disembark to foreign ports there annually, and that 671 voyages were made by steam -packets from the port last year—that the trade consists generally of exports of manufactures from the nor thern districts—Manchester, Sheffield, Birmingham, Wolverhamp ton, Dudley, &c.—that there is also a considerable import trade of fruits, and of raw materials for manufactures, such as raw silk and dye stuffs, which are sent to the north. If a direct line were formed (the Collector stated), he had no doubt the exports would rise in one year to ten millions sterling; and he added that the advantages of transmission, by a direct line, of the mails to and from Southampton and the North, which now go round by London, would be very great, especially in the case of Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, &ci Whilst, however, as is thus officially admitted, a Railway corn *Ong the line of direct communication is calculated extensively to promote great commercial and public interests, it will also benefit and assist essentially :the local requirements of the districts tra versed. The line is intended to commence at a point in convenient connexion with the Public Quays and the Docks at Southampton, and to proceed by Redbridge, Romsey, Stockbridge, Andover, Lud gershall, Marlborough, Swindon, Cricklade, and Cirencester to Chel tenham, there joining the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway ; thus opening up Leicester, Nottingham, Lincoln, Derby, Sheffield, Leeds, and York, the Iron Districts and the Potteries of Staffordshire, Manchester, and the manufacturing districts, Liverpool and the West of Scotland, and by existing and projected routes, Chester, Birkenhead, Holyhead, and Ireland—bringing into connexion the Irish Sea and the English Channel. Excluding the termini and their adjacent towns, a railway along this route will accommodate a local population of about 300,000 per sons, mainly employed in agricultural pursuits, and will also have within its range the important manufacturing districts of Glouces tershire. To these localities, to which seaborne coal is now imported at a very heavy cost, Leicestershire and Staffordshire coal may be conveyed by railway at a considerably reduced price, The Iron of Staffordshire, and the wares of Birmingham and the Potteries, will have the benefit of a new port, and a new market will be opened for the salt of the Droitwich mines—objects, the necessity of which has this year been strongly pressed upon Parliament. Stone, lime, tiles, slates, grain, wool, cattle—and all the requirements and production of a rich and fertile agricultural district will also pass along the line. The traffic by coach in the direction of Southampton, Salisbury, Andover, Marlborough, Swindon, Cirencester, Cheltenham, and remoter places, is very considerable, notwithstanding that exist ing railways have for the time diverted mach of it from its natural channels. There can be no doubt, however, that whilst the intercourse between the rich counties of Hants, Dorset, Wilts and Gloucester, on the one hand, and Staffordshire, Leicestershire, Warwickshire, Derbyshire, Cheshire, Lancashire, Yorkshire, and the West of Scotland on the other, is already abundant, the commu nication from North to South, as well for the purposes of commerce as of pleasure, must be greatly promoted by the formation of a Railway, especially in connexion with the coast lines of Railway running East and West from Southampton, —on the one hand, through Dorset - shire, and on the other by Portsmouth to Brighton, Hastings, and Dover. A further advantage to the enterprise and commerce of the country will be found in the favourable character of the port of Southampton and the low rates on shipping and cargoes—those on the shipping amounting in no instance to more than threepence per ton register, and five shillings per vessel boomage, and on the ear -1 goes to three shillings and fourpence per ton export charge at the docks, and, if shipped at the public quays, to a similar moderate de mand. No charge at either place of shipment will be incurred for cartage or lighterage, and the trains stopping in immediate proximity to the docks, quays, and wharfs, can have their various burdens run by tram-roads directly alongside the vessels.

CIPATIONT of INDUSTRY was held at Exeter Hall on Tuesday, July 1, ANDREW SPOTTISWOODE, Esq., in the Chair, at which the following resolutions were moved and carried:— llesolved,—First—That this Society C;;;;Zefraitr from expressing its surprise and disappointment at the very unsatisfactory resolutions introduced by Lord John Russell in the House of Commons on the 26th of May, for the professed purpose of ameliorating the condition of the working classes of the United Kingdom, and of correcting the alarming evil for which his Lordship did not account, that while " the .rich are growing richer, the poor are growing poorer ;"—and this meeting considers that no professions of sympathy for the dis tressed condition of the labouring classes can avail anything, or be satisfactory to the country at large, so long as those classes are compelled to provide for a heavy taxation on articles of consumption in a money artificially made scarce—a regulation which confers an undue and unnatural advantage upon capital over industry. Second,—That it is the opinion of this Society that the state of actual destitution and suffering under which It is acknowledged the labouring classes in this kingdom are now so largely suffering, in the midst of superabundant wealth, and the inexhaustible means of producing that wealth, is not owing to any fault of their own, nor to any express dispensation of Providence, but is attributable to in judicious legislation, of which the most striking example is the per- nicious currency law of 1819—a measure which Sir James Graham truly and emphatically denounced as a " delusion and a fraud." Third,—That the object of the currency law of 1819 and of the monetary measures of 1844 and 1845 is to reduce the prices of pro ' duction to the level of gold prices, while the object of eorn laws, and of all protective laws, is to raise prices above the level of gold, in order to compensate for heavy taxation ; and thus the one object is incortilistent with, and contradictory to, the other.—That it is the intention of the Legislature, in levying taxes on.commodities, to secure that those taxes should be paid by the consumers generally in a rise of prices; but the effect of the monetary measures before re ferred to is to prevent a rise of prices, and thus to defeat that inten tion.—That by these means a grievous wrong Is inflicted on the pro ducing classes, the effects of which are observable in the wide-spread pauperism described by Sir James Graham as already amounting in England to full one-tenth of the population, and in the alarming de pression of the prices of agricultural produce in consequence of which the wages of the labourer are reduced to their present low and insuffi cient rate. Fourth,—That this Society contends that the high scale of indirect taxation in this country demands a corresponding scale of prices both of labour and of the produce of labour ; and that such scale of prices is incompatible with the present low fixed price of gold, which has the effect, not only of throwing upon the producers the burden of that taxation which ought to be paid by the consumers, but of perni ciously restricting the circulating medium of the country, by making it dependent on the quantity of gold in the Bank of England. Fifth,—That if gold were allowed to find its market price in the currency of the country, like all other commodities, and in obedience to the law of supply and demand, prices in the home trade would rise to a remunerating level, without affecting the prices of our foreign trade, which are now, and always must be, regulated by the market price of gold. That competition would prevent home prices from rising in such a circulating medium beyond the level that indi rect taxation justified ; a level below which it is as unjust to the pro ducer as it is dangerous to the public ereditor to reduce them.—That the Government money (or Exchequer-bills) now issued for taxes in a shape and in amounts exclusively useful to the monied class, should be issued in amounts convenient for all classes—namely, in notes of one pound and upwards; that these notes being necessarily confined within the amount of annual taxation, would be founded on and re present that property which the Government annually draws from the people in taxes, and would form the legal-tender money of the nation.—That labour would then receive its fair and reasonable re ward, while the commerce and industry of the country would be freed from their present unnecessary and injurious dependence upon foreign exchanges. Sixth,—That this Society views with horror the monstrous doc trine attributed to Sir Robert Peel in the debate on Mr. Villiers's motion upon the 10th of June, that the increasing impoverishment of the industrious classes is without remedy; that "great wealth being found side by side with great poverty" is "inseparable from civilisation, and that civilisation in itself increases the tendency in a country towards them,"—a doctrine which would consign a large portion of our countrymen to irremediable poverty. That this Society is prepared to prove before a Committee of either House of Parliament that such a social anomaly is mainly attributable to mis taken views of the nature and uses of money, and of the laws governing the distribution of wealth ; and they cannot but ascribe it to the deepest and most deplorable delusion, that in the recent dis cussions on the subject of the Corn-laws and Banking, the National Debt and Taxation, which form essential elements in both questions, have been studiously excluded. Seventh,—That petitions, representing the substance of the reso utions of this meeting, and praying for legislative Inquiry into the effect of currency on prices, and en the wages of labour, be now prepared and signed by the Chairman of the Society, and be presented to the House. of Lords and the House of Commons ; and that the Provisional Committee formed for the convening of this meeting be requested to place the petitions In suitable hands for presentation and support.

RESIGNATION OF A MAGISTRATE. BALLINHASSIG AFFRAY.—The Cork Reporter says—" We were aware a fortnight ago, that Mr. Molony had sent in his re signation of the Commission of the Peace. We now learn, with regret, that, in compliance with his request, the supersedeas has conic down. We understand the cause of Mr. Molony's resignation was this:—Feeling horrified at the disastrous affair in his own vicinity, and seeing that the police can, under their regulations, act against the people without the orders of a magistrate, while in public opinion the magistrate may be unjustly implicated in their acts, he determined not, in any form, to be a concurring party to such regulations, or in future to risk being involved innocently in such wholesale slaughter.

CEONMEE, AUGUST 2.—(FRoit A CORREsrONDENr.)— THE WEATHER AND CROPS.—For the last four or five days we had some very heavy showers; this day is beautifully fine --the weather seems settled—the crops are not in the least Injured. A few gardens of wheat in the vicini-y of towns may be lodged ; that is, where the crops are very heavy, the general appearance is very fine, in fact we never had such crops, though they will be a fortnight or three weeks late. It was most fortunate for the millers and corn-factors, that there was broken weather both in England and Ireland, as otherwise they would barely make what they paid for their corn ; in fact anything to equal the heavy stock at this season of the year in millers' and factors' hands was never known. If we had an early harvest, wheat would be selling here at 355. per boll of the 20 stone, owing to the above. This is a great place for corn-merchants. The r e i s at thi s moment held i n this town at the very lowest calculation, thirty-five thousand quarterns wheat.
