The great benefits resulting from an efficacious household medicine must be manifest to all. This medicine is not put forward as a cure for every complaint, but in those cases of sudden and temporary ill.. ness so frequently occurring in families, it will be found of singular service, as its operatio , is extremely mild, as well as effectual. The largl and steadily increasing sale of these Pills, principally from the recommenda . ions of those who have experienced their sa'u. -tary qualities, is the best proof of their excellence. A fcw oses will convince those suff ring from Incbge.tion, from whatever cause arising, that their effects are vermanent.

G17,6131.--:TrircOrot;edWan, Fraser—whose affecting case of complicated distress and suffering, as described by himself on an application for relief to the magistrate at Queen-square Police-office, and published in the newspapers, had called forth strong sympathy, and produced a considerable subscription for his relief—has proved to be a heartless impostor, and his tale of woe a tissue of falsehoods. gait appears that some doubts of Frazer's sincerity had been produced in the mind of Mr. Bond, the magistrate, in consequence of a letter, s'gned " Justitia, ' in which the writer suggested that the party was the same who, by a similar tale—but varied so asio show, if Fraser and the individual he alluded to were identical, that the representations he made were false and fraudulent— had imposed on him some months ago. These suspi cions were communicated by Mr. Bond to Frazer, who was questioned by Mr. B. as to the circinnstances mentioned in the letter. The fellow stoutly de nied any knowledge of the circumstances, and ad hered to his original story. Mr. Bond observed that he would not act upon anonymous infor mation, especially where the statements were positively 'denied by the person accused. The pub lication of the proceedings has, however, brought forth further proofs of the imposture; and 11r. Ayton, of Soho, yesterday put- the matter beyond all d ou bt by calling at the Police-office and requesting to see Frazer, whom he strongly suspected of being the same fellow who three - years ago endeavoured to im pose on him. The applicant's evasion of close ques tions, and refusal to give any reference to persons who could substantiate his tale, created suspicions of his truth, and he declined to relieve him. On Frazer's being introduced to Dr. Ayton, the worthy Doctor immediately recognised him as the individual who had endeavoured to work on his sympathies. The account, as given in the report of the proceedings, is quite a scene : "Frazer entered the hearing-room, and was imme diately recognised by Dr. Ayton as the person of whom he had spoken. " Frazer appeared very,confused on Dr. Ay-ton put ting the question—' Don't you remember having paid me a visit at No. 1, Frith-street ?' and after much hesitation replied that he did. " Dr. Ayton, after repeating the story above given, asked him if he did not say that he wanted to return to his family at Guiana ? " Frazer, whose confusion increased, rtplied that he did not say he had got a colonial appointment there, and added that he (Dr. Ayton) gave him nothing. ' " Dr. Ayton replied he knew he had not, because he would give no references as to the truth of his account. He now pronounced him, in the presence of the magis trate, to be an impostor. " Mr. Bond, addressing. Frazer, said, he had particu larly pressed him as t o w h e ther he ever had any inten tion of going to Guiana, or had ever said so, and in an al er to his repeated inquiries he declared he never had. " Frazer hung down his head. " Mr. Bond ordered him to withdraw." The timely detection of this impudent impostor — who, it appears from numerous letters addressed to the magistrate, has been levying contributions on the charitable for. some years—has prevented his obtaining more than a small portion of the moneys sent to the offices for his use and benefit. But we must confess our surprise that, on the full detection of his imposture, Frazer was merely ordered by the magistrate to withdraw. He ought certainly to have been ordered into custody, and com mitted as a rogue _and vagabond, if not prosecuted as a cheat, who had obtained money under false pretences. While • distress abounds, as it does, in this vast metropolis, it is gratifying to find that where a case of well-authenticated suffering is brought be fore the public, subcriptions are usually forwarded from different parts of town and country for its relief. It, however, becomes the duty of those who consent to receive and apply 'such subscriptions to investigate the cases, in order to test their truth. Such fellows as Frazer arrest the current of benevolence, by excit ing doubts respecting the reality of accounts of genuine distress. Of all itnpostors, those who impose on the benevolent feelings of the charitably disposed, by tales of pretended suffering, are, when detected, the most deserving of punishment. We still hope that the heartless vagabond.whose case we have alluded to will not escape. STANDARD.--As we anticipated, the promotion of Mr. Erie to the bench is made the subject of com plaint with that part—we rejoice to say a contempti bly small part—of :,the Conservative party who, by their own confession, have taken their side in.politics principally with a view to make profit of their politi cal profession. " The Government," says the worthy organ of this respectable band of mercenaries, " began in Ireland with a certain Mr. Rowley, who was pro moted for no reason that any one could find out, ex cept that he was a IVhig. The same thing may be said of the appointment of Mr. Erle to the bench, for, although he is very unlike Mr. Rowley in re spect to the public recognition of his fitness for pro mot'on in a processional sense, yet, with all deference to him, there are several raga of Conservative politics at the bar, equally Competent with him to discharge the offica otla judge." - The Government " began in Ireland" with Mr. Sergeant Howley, and the Go- Vernmsnt could not make a wiser, O more auspi cious beginning. Mr. Rowley may be a Whig for any ting vos, know to the contrary, or he may is,we know, certainly a however, he is a Whi g , tbheea Roman l C v o hc n i g s a e t r h s o 'a Gl itciov.vee:7 a l in fl ent neglected for eleven years the claims of a gentleman whose pro • motion would be an honour to any party, and that was a kind of honour of which the Whig Govern ment stopd very much in need; we are, therefore, inclined to suspect that Mr. Howley is not a Whig. Be that, however, as it may, Mr. Howley's claims upon the gratitude of the Queen's Government, whe ther Whig or Conservative, were the very highest that could be offered.by any man. He was for many years the most hard-worked provincial judge in Ireland, presiding at the sessions of the most turbulent county in the island, Tipperary. _,To the faithful discharge of his duty he sa crified a respectable and rapidly improving practice at the bar, and not only did he work hard, he did his work well, according to the unanimous testimony of those Of all parties who were the wit nesses to his judicial conduct. Repeatedly have we ourselves been called upon by Conservative gentle men of his county to give publicity to his sessional charges, distinguished alike by their ability and their tendency to promote peace and the love of order in a lawless and half-savage population ; and this has oc curred at a time when, under a Whig Government, such notices were more likely to obstruct than to advance his promotion. Now we say, observing the distinction that we have taken above, _between the gratitude . due by the • Queen's Government . gene-ss rally,' and partisan Government of any kind, that it mere a criminal neglect in any Government to over look such merits. • Something surely is to be allowed for services to the Queen and the Country, though these - services are.. not rendered through any party? . But 'Mr. Ilowley is 'a Roman Catholic. Was not this a most fortunate circumstance in the case ? Was it not a happy contingency, that at the very time when •Whigs and Repealers sought to recruit their ranks by solemn assurances that Roman Catholics, of all classes and denominations and degrees of merit, were to be proscribed and - persecuted, a Roman Catholic gentleman was found with such claims from talent, character, and services, that by promoting him the Conservative Ministers were in a condition to give the lie to their inceadiary calumniators? How se verely the blow was felt by both Whigs and Re peelers, is proved by the alacrity with which they united with the mercenaries in raising a clamour against Mr. Howley's appointment to the coif. We pass by with contempt the insinuated sneer against Mr. Howley's competency. That gentle man's learning and talent are universally acknow ledged by those best qualified to judge of both, and to judge of his pretensions. • We come to Mr. Erle, whose competency is admitted bemuse it would be as useless to dispute it in this country, where he is known, as to dispute Mr. Howley's compe tency in the country. that has witnessed the Learned Sergeant's career. But, says the organ of the mer cenaries, though Mr; Erle is competent, there are others as competent. Doubtless—but would these others, Mr. Erie's _equals in competency and in standing at the bar, take the office conferred upon him ? Would Mr. Erle himself take it, supposing him a Whig, were his friends in office, or likely to come into office ? We think not. This calls for a little explanation. According to . the rule adopted of late years, and adopted, as we are persuaded, upon good grounds, there is no promotion of puisne judges to the chief seats. These are usually filled by the Attorney or Solicitor-General, as vacancies occur. A lawyer is therefore " shelfed," according to the phrase, when promoted to a puisne judgeship. Nobody ever dreamed of naming Sir William Follett, Sir Frederick Thesiger, ' or their probable successors, for the late vacancy, because every one knows a first-rate lawyer, or one wino that a chiell:4 object of ambition with `hanks himself such ; and this object is attainabl e on l y i n or dinal' s — Wises by passing through the' Office of Attorney or Solicitor- General. It is upon this ground, we presume, that Mr. Erie did not solicit a puisne judgeship from the Whigs, who, absit invidi a, promoted some gentlemen of very in ferior pretensions to his ; and it is upon this ground we say that Mr. Erle (supposing him a Whig) would not now accept a puisne judgeship were his friends in office, or likely to .be in office. But if none of his equals in -professional competency and standing would accept of the seat conferred upon Mr. Erie, how was the Government to tut ? Was it to descend to men of inferior profession com petency and standing, - rather than promote a poli tical opponent, though a very moderate politician ? Would this be to do justice either to the country or to the profession ? l'Ve believe that the public will not say that it would: But the lawyers, we are told, abstained from voting at the late London election, from a consideration of the too great liberality of the Government in dispensing its patronage. This is a self-contradicted ;falsehood. At the late Lon don election the Conservative lawyers had nothing to complain of on this-head—for nearly all the legal Peel's accession to office, has been of Conservatives, appointments, if not absolute l y a ll, from Sir Robert upon this good reason, that the majority of the bar are Conservative ; and the late Government had provided for all their best men who would take the offices that happened to fall vacant. The imputation cast upon the bar by our Contemporary is not only false, it is libellous. The members of the bar are not political mercenaries, as the organ of the mer cenaries would represent them. They are indepen dent gentlemen, and the reason why some of them did not vote at the late London election was, that the election occurred in the vacation, when they were out of town ; many of them out of the kingdom. We hope that we have said enough upon Mr. Erie's ap-. pointment. The interests of the country are not served by keeping alive controversy upon such subjects. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

The Freeman's Journal of this day thus alluded to the subject : " Upon the occasion of the traversers in the late state trials giving bail before the Hon. Justice Burton, in October, 1843, the condition entered into was, that they should attend in the Queen's Bench from term to term, to answer any charge made against them by the Crown. The result of the writ of error absolved those gentlemen from the punish ment adjudged by the Court of Queen's Bench, and the nature of the application to be made to-day is, that' the obligation to attend the Court should be voided, the accusations made against the defendants having been pronounced by the highest authorities groundless and illegal. Application will also be made to the Court to have the judgment F of reversal by the House of Lords entered up." The Court was much crowded, on account of the general expectation that a motion to this effect would be submitted; but nothing of the kind occurred, and the Court rose at half-past three o'clock, no cause of public interest having been brought forward. The Attorney-General and the Solicitor-General were in Court to-day, and their appearance strengthened the belief that some case in which the Crown was a party was to come on. Chief Justice Pennefather did not appear on the bench. to-day. It was rumoured that the Attorney-General intended to apply for a criminal information against a news paper, but that he delayed doing so in the absence of the Chief Justice. Mr. Ford and Mr. Cantwell, two of the agents for the' traversers in the state prosecutions, were in Court. • REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The weekly meeting of the Association was held this day, in the Conciliation-hall. The chair was taken. by Alderman Butler. Mr. Q'IIEA (barrister) commenced the business of the day by moving the suspension of the standing order, for the purpose of enabling him to move the wual .resolution having reference to the O'Connell tribute. The Learned Gentleman then read the fol lowing resolution : " Resolved,—That the Loyal National Repeal As sociation deem it a paramount duty, at this moment, to call upon the people of Ireland to sustain, with all their energies, the collection of the O'Connell Com pensation Fund, fixed for Sunday, the 17th instant. All members of this Association, all lovers of the legislative independence of Ireland, are expected to unite in combined exertion with the respected and patriotic clergy. Let the wrongs, the sufferings, and the triumphs of the past year, serve to animate to additional efforts on this occasion." Ile (Mr. O'Hea) would consider it derogatory to dwell on the services of Mr. O'Connell. The recol lection of these services was engraved on the hearts of all Irishmen, and he felt convinced that on the pre sent occasion the people would prove in a substantial manner their gratitude for the vast sacrifices and ex ertions made by Mr. O'Connell on their behalf. Captain BRODERICK seconded the resolution, and briefly dwelt on the services of Mr. O'Connell. Passed with acclamation. fir. MAURICE O'CONNELL read the following letter from Mr. Smith O'Brien, which was received with loud cheer., : " Cahermoyle, Oct. 31,.1 844. " My dear avail myself of the kind indulgence of the Repeal Association to offer a few remarks on the question of federalism, to which public attention is now so anxiously directed. " Th'e - pr6seht 'state of the public - mind appears - to me to invite the Triends of Ireland eza commune unreservedly with each other upon our national interests. Never has there been a more favourable opportunity for a calm dis cussion of the question of repeal. Ancient feuds are be ginning to be forgotten. Religious bigotry is narrowed within a circle, which is every day diminishing. The conflicts of English party, of which we have so often been the dupes, no longer summon Irishmen to the field in hostile array against each other. A deep, a serious, an absorbing passion, the noblest of which a nation is susceptible—LOVE OF COUNTRY—is rapidly sub duing the baser motives which corrupt and degrade so ciety. High-minded men are no longer satisfied to ask themselves, how can I keep in power this English states man or that party chief ? But, with anxious thought, they inquire, how can I serve Ireland ? How can I rescue its population from the unnumbered ills which they suffer ? How can I uplift and upheld the honour of my country ? " Every patriot feels that Ireland has hitherto been systematically governed, not with a view to its own wel fare, but for the aggrandisement of England, and he at the same time breathes a vow that such subserviency shall endure no longer. " flow shall that vow be accomplished ? " We, the repealers of Ireland, reply, By the acqui sition of self-dependent power—by SELF-GOVERN MENT.' " We repudiate from our ranks none who desire to co operate with us for the attainment of this end. On this principle, the proposal of a federal connexion with Great Britain has been left an open question in the Repeal As sociation. "For my own part I feel persuaded that a simple re peal of the union—that is, a retnrn to the international arrangements stipulated in 1782 between Great Britain and Ireland, accompanied by a reconstruction of the Irish Parliament upon a reformed principle—is both more easily attainable, and, when attained, more condu cive to the interests of Ireland, than any federal consti tution which can be devised. But, though such be my individual opinion, I am not prepared to reject any plan for the repeal of the union which shall appear to be more practicable and more satisfactory to all who may fairly claim to be parties to the adjustment of this great question. " Give to Ireland ample powers of self-government and, on this condition, we are willing to consider what frame of constitution will at the same time tend most effectually to maintain the strength and unity of the British empire. We invite those who call themselves federalists to point out to us the means by which this twofold object can be attained. We profess ourselves , disposed to make some concession of opinion, and to try a federal constitution by way of experiment, if they can show us that the benefits of domestic legislation will be - I, ereby more speedily realised ; but we will give no consent to iry. Koject which does not reserve to Ireland full power of pi:otectiir*.itS Own domestic interests. " Whatever may be the result ^f these discussions, I am glad to find that those who have so 101'12' slumbered are about to awake from their lethargy. When their purpose is the same, men can seldom differ for a long time respecting means. I care not by what name a fel low-countryman may denote himself. Let him cling to the designation—ill-omened though it be—of Orange men. Let him adopt the new and undefined appellative of federalist. If he love Ireland—if he labour to pro mote its welfare—if he cherish its glory as he prizes his own personal honour—that man is our brother. His in terest and ours are the same. A common success will re ward our united efforts. I will not pourtray the cha racter of those who deserve our deep and bitter scorn, but conclude by repeating the cheering assurance which I sincerely feel, that nothing is required, except internal union, generated and sustained by the spirit of patriot ism, in order to place Ireland in the rank of an equal among the proudest and most prosperous kingdoms o the earth.—l remain, my dear Sir, very faithfully yours, " WILLIAM S. O'BRIEN. " Martin Crean, Esq., &c., &c." Captain BRODERICK read the letter of Mr. O'Connell to the editor . of the Kerry Examiner, which has al ready appeared in this journal, and moved its insertion on the minutes. Mr. M. O'CONNELL read the following letter from Mr. O'Connell, in answer to a case submitted to him, as to whether the Rechabite Society in Scotland was legal, or otherwise " TO THE ACTING SECRETARY Or TILE LOYAL NATIONAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION. " Sir, —I have the honour to inform the Association that the regulations and general laws of the Rechabite have been laid before me, on the part of the Scotch re peelers, and I um decidedly of opinion that every indi vidual member of the Rechabite Society is guilty of a transportable offence, tat is to say, of an offence for which he is liable to bet ran sported for the term of seven years at the least. " Under these circumstances, the repeal wardens of Scotland will take care to refuse the subscription of any persons belonging to the order of Rechabites, and to re turn the name to the Association of any person who is known to be a Rechabite, in order that he may be forth with struck off our books. No Rechabite can be allowed tabu. manlier of the RePeid Association. " I have a strong conviction on my mind that, not withstanding a gloss of useful purposes, this order of Rechabites is calculated to do very great mischief, and to introduce a very bad spirit amongst the working classes ; and I do most strongly recommend to every Irishman over whom I have any influence, not to become a member of the Rechabites ; or, ii he be already a member, I do intreat of him immediately to quit the society. I repeat that, in my judgment, the order of Rechabites is calculated to do a great deal of mischief, and that any good that can result from it had better be done in another and in a legal way. " It seems that these people allege that Father Mathew countenances them. He does no such thing, because he most carefully keeps himself clear of any species of society tenets or orders, save that most admirably useful institution, the Temperance Society. Father Mathew most justly approves of every person who takes the tem- With respect to the charitable works that constitute a portion of the business of the Rechabites, these can be much better attended to by the Irish Catholics in Scot land, forming or joining what aro called Holy Guilds,' or merely charitable societies, under the inspection and control of the Catholic clergy. Charities become doubly valuable when enrolled in religious societies ; and they are actually contaminated by the contact of such a society as the Rechabites. " I have not pointed out the particulars, and they are many, in which the members of the Rechabites violate the law, and render themselves liable to transportation. The reason that I do not do so is, because I do not wish to assist any person to prosecute individual Rechabites. My object is not to punish, but to caution and reform ; and I do hope and expect that, after this letter of mine is published, every Irish Catholic resident in Scotland will at once and for ever quit this foolish, illegal, and I will add vicious, order of Rechabites. " I submit to the Association the propriety of sending a copy of this letter to every Catholic clergyman and re peal warden in Scotland, requesting their support in in ducing the Irish Catholics in that country to abandon this worthless and unlawful-society or order.—l have the honour to be your faithful servant, "DANIEL O'CONNELL. " Dzrrynane Abbey, Oct. 28, 1844." In compliance with the intimation contained in the letter just read, he (Mr. M. O'Connell) moved that a copy of that letter should be sent to every Catho lic clergyman and repeal warden in Scotland. Mr. M. O ' CONNELL, handed in 51. 12s. from Ver mont, United States, and several other sums— amongst them a 3s. from_ Airdrie, Scotland. In reference to the last remittance, Mr. O'ConnelLstated that the letter which accompanied it announced that the repeal wardens in that district, who. Lad professed Ribbon principles, had retracted their errors, and he had consequently great pleasure in moving that they be restored to their offices.

After the disposal of some routine business, Mr. M. O'CONNELL announced the repeal rent for the week to be 2891. 155.2 d. The meeting then adjourned. THE LATE STORM. WRECKS AND Loss Or LIFE ON THE COAST. — The most melancholy results of the, gale were visible between Dublin and Drogheda on Saturday. The following are briefly the facts :—On Saturday, about eleven o'clock, a vessel was - observed in the offing from Balbriggan, and in a short time she was seen to make for the harbour; but, in consequence of the high tide, and the violence of the gale, she was not able to effect that object. She was driven ashore about half a mile below Balbriggan, at a place called Louther Lodge, and, such was the fury of the wind and waves, that she was at once dashed on the rocks, and fell over on her beam ends. She proved to be the Shammon, of Whitehaven, in ballast, Captain Collins, master. She sailed from Kingstown on Wednesday evening, and had nearly reached White haven, when she was driven back by the storm. Her crew consisted of eight hands, three of whom—the captain, his brother, who was, mate, and a seaman, were washed off the wreck, and drowned, notwith standing that every exertion was made to save them by Mr. James Michalm, of the coast guard, assisted by his men, the police, and the inhabitants of the place. Indeed, it appears that the unfortunate men could have saved themselves had they come ashore with the other five, but they refused to abandon the ship, which now lies almost keel up on the strand. She was 300 tons burthen. The bodies of the ill &fed men are not found. Another fatal casualty oc curred at Clogher, about seven miles from Drogheda. A large brig, name unknown, laden with wheat, sup posed to be from Wexford, and bound to Liverpool, was totallKwrecked, and all hands supposed to be lost, as there was no account of any of them. An other wreck took place at Annagasson, near the same place ; name of the vessel. unknown. She was dashed to pieces. A large vessel; about 700 tons burthen, named the Rose of Belfast, Montgomery, master, was driven violently on shore at Skerries, but most fortunately the crew, con sisting of fourteen men and one woman, a passenger, were all got off safely from the wreck. She was timber-laden, and left Quebec on this day five weeks. She was bound for Belfast. A large quantity of timber, and other things belonging to ships, were picked up between Balbriggan and Drogheda ; the figure-head of a ship, and a piece of board with the name Fairy Queen, was found at Bal briggan. Several small craft were more or less in jured at Baldoyle, Malahide, and along the coast. A large vessel, supposed to be an Indiaman (but all in quiry proved unsuccessful to ascertain anything about her), was seen in a wrecked condition off Ireland's Eye. The Drogheda Railway did not sustain the slightest damage, although the- trees and bridges ad joining the line suffered severely from the severity of the hurricane. Several cabins at Donabate were blown down and unroofed. EXTRAORDINARY PASSAGE—THE IRON DUKE.— The new mail packet Iron Duke left Kingston har bour for Liverpool om Friday evening with the mails, and in the teeth of the gale then blowing. This neble vessel rounded the pier at twenty minutes past seven, r.re., not having been able to get clear off the harbour at the usual hour of half•past six, owing to the severity of the gale and the crowded state of ' the harbour. Great anxiety existed in town on Sa tvrday to know the result of her voyage, as the Ad miralty packet, which usually leaves Kingstown at seven, A.M., and the Holyhead packet, which leaves at nine- r.m., were both prevented from going to sea by the vioince ofteheatgale. KingstownT Iro on nsnnDudkaey morning, arrivedin her usual co:: rs and it appears .3he made the passage to Liverpool, against the worst of the gale, 'in eighteen hours and forty minutes, which ma,`,' be said to be the most ex traordinary passage on :?•cord, considering the severity of the gale and the try endous sea in the Channel. DALKEY.—The storm was experienc;d here with much severity, and caused great and wide-spi'ead in jury to the roofs, windows, and chimneys of houses contiguous to the shore. The. large protecting wail in front of Loretto house Convent was wholly washed away, and a metal railing which ran for several hun dred feet into the sea in a continuous line from the wall, was, notwithstanding that it was firmly fastened in the works, shattered in pieces. The windows of Mr. Richardson's house were nearly all smashed. KILLINEY.—At this place, too, the storm raged with considerable power, and committed ravages similar to those described as having occurred at Dalkey. On Saturday some firkins of butter and a dead pig were found on the strand, and a piece of plank was driven in by the sea in the course of that morning. It bore the letters M A it, and evidently belonged to some ill fated vessel. Immediately following the It there ap peared either the lower part of an E or an L, but here all clue to further surmise was lost. BALLYBRACK.—On the coast opposite this little village, which stands about midway between Killiney and Bray, there was discovered a piece of timber, supposed to be part of a bowsprit, with several small Planks. The peasantry, who congregated in large numbers, succeeded in getting possession of some pieces, and in the course of the day a seaman's hat was picked up, in the lining of which there was written—" John Trant, Liverpool, Sept. the 16th, 1843, three." GREY STONES.—The coast guards of the station which is situated on the shore midway between Bray Head and Delgany, discovered - at noon on Saturday, a vessel without mast or rigging, little leas than a mile out at sea. She was tossed about, and drifted from one point to another by the fury of the waves. The violence of the tempest at this time rendered it impossible to approach the vessel in safety, or render her any assistance, and the struggles of the crew to manage her movements were fearful to behold. At one time they doubled Bray Head, when their posi tion was truly perilous ; but they were soon drifted back again, and, after several hours' fruitless exer tion, they were at length driven in within reach of aid. The vessel was found to be the Sovereign, from LiverpOol to Nova Scotia, with bales of linen. The crew, though naturally much fatigued from exertion, have, we are ;happy to say, escaped serious injury ; but the vessel is a complete wreck. DINGLE. — The brig Mary Dick, of Kirkaldy, James Norman, being fifteen days out from Cardiff, t bound to Constantinople, put into Dingle on the 30th j of October, in distress, having experienced a loss of 1 mainyards, rigging, and bulwarks. It was through WEXFORD.-It was blowing a whole gale of wind late last night from the E.S.E. when we went to press; and we greatly apprehend that the shipping lying at the quays will suffer.— Wexford Independent of Saturday. COURT OF REVISION. During the burgess revision on Saturday, Mr. Jus tice Jackson entered the court in his judicial robes. His Lordship stood for a few seconds at the end of the bench, and then pronounced in a loud voice, " This Court of Error is adjourned to Wednesday next."—(Roars of laughter.) [lt appeared that the Court of Error stood ad journed to the first day of term, and that, in com pliance with the formalities of that court, it became his Lordship's duty to order a further adjournment, in the manner above described. The effect, was, how ever, astounding. Assessors, counsel, agents, and the public joined in an involuntary burst of laughter, which was renewed as often as the words, " this court of error" flashed across the recollection of those present.] The court adjourned at six o'clock. Freeman's Journal. JERSEY NEWS. ROYAL COURT, OCT. 29. (Before Sir JOHN DE VEULLE and Messrs. BISSON and PELGUE.) MR. WILSON'S " ApoLoGy."—The following ap peared in a second edition of the Jersey Gazette, pub lished on Tuesday last : The confident announcement by the creatures of the Royal Court on Saturday last, that Mr. Wilson intended to betray himself and the great cause of which he is the representative, by offering a humble apology to the Court, and paying the fine, although greatly damped by the announcement in yesterday evening's Gazette that Mr. Wilson had never pro mised to apologise, and would never apologise, at tracted a considerable number of persons, anxious to witness right trampled under foot by brutal power. Thty were, as we predicted r dreadfully disappointed. Between nine and ten o'clock, the Deputy,Vis count proceeded to the gaol, and knocking at Mr. Wilson's prison door, demanded admittance. Mr. Wilson (from within his barricaded door) — Who's there ? Mr. J. De St. Croix—The Deputy- Sheriff. Mr. Wilson—What do you want ? Mr. J. De St. Croix—l am come for you by order of the chief magistrate. Mr. 'Wilson—l shan't come. 1 Mr. J. De St. Croix—lt is in consequence of your own request that you are sent for. Mr. Wilson—'Tis false ! I newer asked to be brought before the Court. Afr. J. De St. Croix—You will be forced to come. Mr. Wilson—Go to the -. • This amusing dialogue was bawled by the two speakers through the barricaded door within which Mr. Wilson had secure l y i n t renc h e d himself. The Deputy-Sheriff, finding his case hopeless, descended the stairs, and as a last resort, induced the governor of the gaol to try his persuasive eloquence upon the obdurate prisoner. Mr. Kandich having knocked at the door, the old query as to who he was was put by Mr. Wilson. Mr. Kandich—l am the governor of the gaol. Mr. Wilson—Well, what do you want? Mr. liandich—The Deputy-Viscount, who has sent for you by the chief magistrate, is waiting for you. Mr. Wilson—l don't believe it. Where's his warrant ? This characteristic question dumfounded Mr. Kandich, and he walked off to report no progress to the Deputy-Sheriff, who, in his turn, departed on the same pleasant errand to his employer, the chief magistrate. The Court was to open at ten o'clock, but it was half an hour past that time before the consultation in the parlour was concluded. Finally, the judges (!) named above, looking anything but pleasant and sprightly, took their seats, said their prayers, and did penance—which consisted in being obliged to hear the Deputy-Viscount assure them in lugubrious accents that either Sir John de Veulle had cruelly hoaxed himself and them, or that he had himself been played upon by some malicious wag. Sir J. de Veulle (holding a small piece of paper in his hand) —Gentlemen, I have summoned the Court in order to hear an apology from Mr. Charles Carus Wilson, but it appears that he won't come. Mr. De St. Croix, you have, I believe, been to the prison ? The Deputy-Viscount, leaning against the Attorney- General's desk, replied in the affirmative. He said, he had left notice at Mr. Wilson's house on Saturday; and then related, with some trifling variations, the sparkling dialogue we have givenabove. Sir John shook his head, and looked volumes of something; we did not precisely distinguish what. Sir John having looked a whole encyclopaedia at vacancy, next looked at the Attorney-General. The Attorney looked solemnly at Sir John, but word he spoke not. _ • _ _ " The oraeles'were dumb." Sir John, recovering himself with a violent effort, shook his plumes, and called out lustily, " Thomas Allier, Jean Baudains." 'Twas a fresh case Thus ended the Wilson apology. We have again to repeat Mr. Wilson's solemn assurance that his note to Sir John de Venue con tained nothing approximatißg to an offer to apologise. We may as %ell also take this opportunity of stating that all the stories circulated about English lawyers returning money-orders sent to them, Sir J. Graham's letter to the bailiff, &c., are just so many ridiculous fabrications.—Jersey azelte.

LIVES LOST.—DERBY, PuEsDay.—An accident of a very awful character has just occurred here. A few weeks ago the Town Council and Commissioners of the borough agreed to arch over the Glii.ting mill-brook, in the Morledge, with the view of adding a large plot of land to the Cattle Market. Accordingly, a Mr. Sims entered into a contract to carry out the extensive work, in connexion with the large sower just completed, at a great expense to the town. The works were commenced a few weeks back, and one portion of the arch over the brook completed, all but removing the centres. About eight o'clock this morning Mr. Sims's labourers commenced removing the centres, and whilst in the act of taking away the last prop, the whole mass of material fel in, burying the unfortunate men in the ruins. News of the sad calamity was soon in all parts of the town, and thousands of people rushed to the spot. Every possible exerton was made to re move the materials, but from the immense quantity ‘T hiCh bad fallen (the arch being an expansive one), this was a work of some time, notwithstanding there was no lack of willing hands. The first body found was that of the contractor's son-in-law, and as the mangled r emains were disentombed, a thrill of horror passed through the immense crowd. Six dead bodies, all of them more or less mutilated, have been extricated, and the labour of removal was still going on, though it is supposed that all the bodies had been found. The melancholy event bas cast a gloom upon the town. It is supposed that the centres of the arch were removed too early, the late heavy rains having prevented the materials " setting " sufficiently firm to allow of the taking away the centres. A NEW SPECIES OF TEMPERANCE. A new species of temperance society (a provisional one, how ever) has just been formed at Cernay (Haut-Rihn). The beer-drinkers have entered into a pledge with each other not to drink a drop of their favourite liquor until the brewers return to the old usage of making it with out any other ingredient than malt and hops and water. They have appointed a committee in each canton to taste the beer offered for sale, admitting that which they timid gkuuine, and rejecting all other.
