A letter has been received at Lloyd's to-day from the Ad miralty, containing the official documents relating to the re capture of the brigantine Hannah, of Sydney, of which the following is a copy " Government House, Auckland, New Zealand, " Nov. 14, 1843. " Sir,—l have to report the capture of the piratical brigan tine, the Hannah, by the harbour-master (Mr. Rough), aided by a detachment of the 80th Regiment, under the command of Ensim Wellman, under the following circum stances :—On the 31st ult. it was reported by the police ma gistrate that he had issued warrants for the capture of William Ellis, and eight seamen, upon a charge of piracy, preferred by Mr. Horton ) whom Ellis had forced to act as mate of the Hannah, which had been seized by Ellis, whilst lying at the Chatham Islands, where Captain Bell had been put ashore, and the supercargo and a seaman who had been shot by Ellis, and were supposed to have been mortally wounded, had been landed at some place on the Southern island. The schooner had then proceeded to New Zealand, and lastly to a small harbour in one of the Mercury Islands, where slie was at the time lying, and in tended proceeding to Torres Straits, on a piratical voyage. I desired Mr. Rough to engage the Ariel schooner, belonging to Messrs. Wright and Graham, who placed her at my dis posal, but she was lying with sails unbent and rigging un rove, without a crew. Notwithstanding, a crew were en gaged, the detachment shipped on board, with a month's provision, at midnight set sail, and at two r.m., next day, were alongside the Hannah, and captured her without re sistance. The prisoners have been committed for trial at the next sessions, and the schooner has been detained for sailing under false papers. (Signed) " WILLOUGHBY SHORTLAND." THE NEW ROYAL EXCHANGE.—The ground be tween the eastern front of the New Royal Exchange, at the rear of the houses in Finch-lane, is being now built upon by direction of the trustees of Magdalen College, to whom the property belongs. There will be a line of houses from Corn hill to Threadneedle-street, for which purpose the church of St. Benet Fink will be pulled down, the living of which it is said will be transferred to a church which will be erected on the site of what was formerly Cripplegate Workhouse, Moor lane. In excavating for the foundation of the new houses, at a depth of about 12 feet, a large quantity of common Roman and of Roman tessellated pavement was found. LIVERPOOL CUSTOMS.—We are happy in being able to state, that the Customs receipts at this port for the month ending the sth inst., have been the greatest ever known, the amount having reached half a million sterling ; and that, notwithstanding the great reduction which has taken place in the duties upon timber, turpentine, and other important articles, and the entire abolition of the duties on exports. We may also state, that the receipts at this port for the first half of the present year have exceeded 2,150,0001. sterling, or nearly one-fourth of the entire Customs of the whole empire for the same period.—Liverpocl Standard. • DISPENSARY:FOR CONSUMPTION, DISEASES OF THE HEART, &c., 113, STRAND.—Among the many valuable cha rities of which this country can boast, there is none more entitled to support than one for the successful treatment of consumption. From the prospectus of the above Dispensary, it is proposed to give gratuitous advice and medicine, when necessary, to those who are provided with a letter of recom mendation from any donor to the Institution, and on certain days, which are appointed, to every poor person, without re ference to sex or country. Lord Bloomfield, and several other persons of distinction, have become patrons to this Institu tion, which, from. its central situation (the populous neigh bourhood of the Strand), cannot fail to be felt as a blessing to the numerous distressed poor with which this locality abounds. Dr. Cronin, whose new theory, and successful treatment of consumption, has already attracted so much attension, is the managing director and physician, while seve ral other distinguished medical gentlemen have given their support, by becoming members of the committee. RUDE AND ANCIENT PLOUGH.—A plough of a very simple and original construction was tho other day dug out of peat moss in the island of Liel, near Easdale. It consisted entirely of one piece. The lower part or trunk of the tree was formed into a stilt, with a handle cut out of. the solid timber wide enough to receive both hands, something similar to a garden spade,. only very coarse and clumsy. The handle was horizontal, while the plough was upright in working position. The beam was a branch of some length, and the share was the stump of another, as the tree had branched into two, something like the y, with one of the branches length ened. It did Rot appear to have had any iron about it. It is evident from its simple form that it could never turn over the soil, but merely stirred it like a cultivator or grubber. It was so decayed that, on exposure to the air, it crumbled into fragments.—Glasyozo National. York Minster was re-opened on Sunday last. having undergone a complete restoration. The Very Rev W. Cockburn, D.D., the Dean, preached on the occasion. THE SUN, LONDON,- WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 10,_1844. PARLIA2rIEN TAR Y .DIVISIONS. - . (From the Votes akd .Noceethrigs erne Holm et Commens.)

He congratulated the Association on the proud posi tion which it occupied at the present moment, and recom mended firmness and determination ; but, above all, concilia tion, as the means by which they would be sure to achieve their object. He considered it injudicious to press the repeal test on those Liberal members who had not as yet identified themselves with the movement, but recommended the adop tion of a repeal registration, which would enable the people of Ireland to return at the next general election men who would not be ashamed to serve their country. Circumstances, he had no doubt, would shortly arise, which would prove to every well-wisher of his country that there was no hope for Ireland but in the restoration of her domestic Legislature. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN said he had the pleasure of com mencing business by handing in a large number of contri butions from various parts of the country. Among the sums handed in were 40/. from Monaghan ; from Suncroft, county Kildare, 321. ; Bandon, 48/. 14s. ; Dromore, 23/. ; Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 71. 2s. 6d.. The Hon. Gentleman announced that he had received upwards of 500/. by post that morning. Mr. Fogarty, of Cabra Castle, handed in 34/.los. from two parishes in the county Tipperary. Mr. MAURICE O'CONNELL handed in several subscriptions, amongst them a sum of money from the Irish labourers in Rotherhithe. He had the pleasure of addressing a meeting of these men the other evening, which was compcsed of at least 2,000 of as fine and able-bodied men as ever he saw collected. They were such as would delight the eyes of a recruiting sergeant.—(Cheers.) He then gave notice that on the next day of meeting he would move the thanks of the Association to the repealers of London. Mr. W. J. O'CoNNELL spoke to the merits of the repealers of London, and addressed the meeting in a humorous speech. Dr. NAGLE read a declaration from the person that was re fused admission into the Meath Hospital, in consequence of his exhibiting a repeal button, stating the facts of the case, which went to inculpate the authorities of that establishment. Mr. DANIEL O'Cosnszu., jun., read an address to his father from the directors and professors of the institution of Bitche (Moselle), France, and regretted that the position in which his father was placed precluded the possibility of his return ing a suitable reply. Mr. S3IITII O'BRIEN handed in a large number of remit tances from the north and other parts of the country. Mr. JOHN A. O'NEILL, of Bunowen Castle, then rose and moved the adoption of the following resolution :—" That we recommend Irishmen of all classes to meet in their respective parishes throughout Ireland on the 30th day of each suc ceeding May, being the anniversary of the imprisonment of the must successful champion of civil and religious liberty throughout the world, O'CONNELL; the same day being also the anniversary of the incarceration of his patriotic asso ciates, John O'Connell, Thomas Steele, Richard Barrett. John Gray, Charles G. Duffy, and Thomas .Mathew Ray, Esqrs., all of whom were unconstitutionally charged with a con spiracy against the peace and welfare of their fellow-subjects, but who gloried in the true accusation, that they had sti mulated the people of Ireland to demalid their rights, and to achieve, peacefully, the legislative independance of their na tive land. The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to describe the merits of the several State prisoners, and their claims on the gratitude of the Irish people. His object in bringing for ward this motion was to perpetuate patriotic, not vindictive, feelings.—(Hear, hear.) 3: iE speech c Ci l . RATTAN ' M.P., seconded the motion in an emphatic Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN brought f orw ard the report of the frsN! Par liamentary Committee on the subject of the different Bills affecting Irish interests at present under the consideration of the Legislature. The Committee regretted that they felt themselves constrained to recommend resistance to every Bill, having reference to this country, that was before the House. Mr. M. O'CONNELL handed in 311. - from Liverpool, 101. from Bradford, and 68/. from America ; and then proceeded at considerable length to oppose the renewal of the Party Processions Bill. Mr. D.O'ComiELL,jun., said, he had his usual weekly account from the prison. His father and brother were in the best health and spirits. His father was delighted with the peace able state of the country, and he was convinced that any apprehensions had entirely vanished ; and his only advice was " persevere, persevere, persevere." He thought it right to say there was a system of arbitration, disconnected with the Association, under the consideration of the committee, and as soon as it was ready they would submit it to his father.—(Hear, hear.) s h .r ea F r.

Their Royal Highness the Duke ofCambridge and Duchess Cf c•loucester remained for these quadrilles, and then retired, the intene heat of the room, no doubt, accelerating their de parture. The Hereditary Grand Duke of Mccklenburgh Strelitz left about halfpast eleven. The Duke of Wellington, as usual at all the balls he now attends, retired early. On leaving the staircase, the noble and Gallant Duke W as asked his opinion of the ball as a spectaele. Ili, Grace's answe: was brief but to the point— " It is the most beautiful ball I evei . .`aw." The ladies patronesses, after the this e fancy quadrilles were finished, demanded a polka, from the Z' rchestra, and then descended to the supper room, where Scotch reels and country dances were gone through, an extra band being stationed there. Dancing was prolonged until five o'clock yesterday morn ing, no less than 26 sets having been danced in the principal ball-room. In the course of the night a new waltz was performed, and greatly admired, Londres et Paris, composed by Tolbecque, of which the Queen has been pleased to accept the dedication. We hear that, although many of the ladies lost some of their diamonds in the room, with one or two exceptions they were found and restored during yesterday. SUMMARY OF II E iii 3 A N Vitvltt erf.inton. " Who nos may r..7-.:d." FOEtILMITZZ. The King of the French, accompanied by the Queen, Lel. Royal Highness Madame Adelaide, and the Dukes de Ne mours and Montpensier, paid a last visit to the Exhibition of National Industry on Saturday. His Majesty inspected mi nutely the machinery which he had not already examined. In the evening their Majesties received the Prussian Ambas sador, the Minister of Public Instruction, and Count de Montalivet. The Duchess of Kent and the Prince of Leiningen arrived at the Palace of Lacken, the residence of the King of the Belgians, on the 3d instant; on their way to London. Her Royal Highness was expected to leave Brussels on Sunday or Monday, and immediately after their departure the King and Queen of the Belgians are to leave fur Neuilly. A Cologne journal observes, that in consequence of the im proved service of the steam-packets, letters are now only thirty-six hours on their way from London to Cologne. The steamers Orenoque and Clavier are undergoing arrang melts at Toulon to receive on board a detachment of cavalry for Algeria. We learn from Auch that Mme. Lacoste, who is accused of having poisoned her husband, surrendered to prison on - the 4th inst., and immediately underwent an interrogatory. Her trial is fixed for the 10th. On the 19th the same court of as size will try a person named Deffrances, on a charge of having murdered his son five years ago. The Droit states that Edouard Donon Cadot, who was ac- Tilted a few days ago on the charge of having been an accom plice in the murder of his father, has returned to Pontoise. It is said that he will enter the office of one of the notaries of that town as a clerk. _ A great part of the village of Vilaines ' in the Nievre, was destroyed a few days ago by fire. The loss is estimated at 80,000 f. The Havre Regatta, ender the patronage of the Prince de Joinville, is to take place on the 28th and 29th of the pre sent month. There are to be six races each day,the prizes of which amount to 7,200 f. in money, and 500 f. in plate. Boats of every country will be permitted to contend. ." In April last," says the Presse," the daily number of Le gitimatist journals sent through the post-office did net amount to 10,000. Thel were thus divided :--Echo Francais, 22.30; France, 1,10; Gazette de France, 2,793 ; Nation, 485 ; and Quotidicnne, 2,705 ; in all, 9,325." The produce of stamps on printed papers amounted iu 1843 to 4,616,007 E, viz., political journals 3,231,358 E, non political 398,918 f., and advertisements, placards, &c., 985,733 f. LAW AND POLICCM. In . the Rolls Court an application was made to direct the Master to find how much money had been received by Alder man Gibbs from a certain property in the parish orSt. Ste phen's, Walbrook, which was bequeathed for charitable pur poses, to take an acct unt of all that had been laid out by him for the benefit of the parish, and to make out what was due from or to Alderman Gibbs; also to make.all due and just allowances. There was a motion tendering for a receiver, which it was proposed may be postponed till the account be made out by the Master. After a brief statement from coun sel, Lord Langdale said it would be more satisfactory to all parties that the accounts should be taken, and granted the order, In the Court of Exchequer, Mr. Taylor, an architect and surveyor, in parliament-street, brought an action against the Southwark-bridge Company, to recover damages for injuries sustained in a fall, occasioned by the alleged negligence of the defendants. On the 21st of November last, the plaintiff was waiting the steamer at the Southwark-bridge steam pier, when he fell against the combing of an open hatchway, and fell with his side upon the opposite ledge. lie was lifted from the opening in an almost senseless condition by two gentlemen, the only persons present, and who had been alarmed at hearing a heavy groan. By the next boat he was removed to his father's at Westminster. Here he was attended four days, during which time he suffered from col lapse, fever, and various pains. The surgeon's bill amounted to 151. lls. 6d. Verdict fur plaintiff, damages, 401. A summons was heard at Bow-street before Mr. Jardine against Mr. Henry Smith, landlord of the White Hart, Catherine-street, Strand, charging him with having kept his house open for the sale of beer, &c., at other hours than by law allowed, to wit, at fourteen minutes past twelve, on the morning of Sunday the 30th of June. Atter the policeinan, F 39, had told his tale, Mr. John Coffin, an independent gentleman, of Brighton, who was lodging at Mr. Smith's; Mr. Joseph Woodward, solicitor, of No. 43, Gower-place; and John Jenkins, the waiter, who had the care of the door, who all swore that no liquor was drawn after twelve o'clock, when the house was scrupulously cleared. Mr. Jardine, on such respectable evidence, could not hesitate on deciding against the policeman's testimony, and dismiss the summons. At Guildhall, George Hubble, one of the toll-takers at the Southwark-bridge, was summoned for assaulting Charles F. King, and detaining his hat, on Friday night. The corn plainat stated that he was a table-decker, and had been em ployed at Warrener's Tavern, at Erith, on Friday. lie re turned, in charge of some valuable property, at night, to the Southwark-bridge pier, and it was placed in a truck. He thought he was entitled to go over the bridge in the truck free of expense, as the man who drew the truck paid a penny for himself, and twopence was paid for the truck. On coming within four yards of the gate this money was paid, but the tollman demanded another penny from the complainant. He refused to pay it, and alighted from the truck. This, how ever, did not satisfy the tollman, who seized his hat by way of distraint for the toll. Mr. Alderman Hooper said the Act allowed the toll to be taken for " passing over" the bridge, and payment could not be enforced from a person who came up to the check for foot passengers, and then declined going over. lie, therefore, ordered the tollman to restore the hat and pay the costs. Coumr-rasniozir.a.urat. The Duchess of Gloucester gives an evening party at Gloucester House, on Monday next, in honour of the visit of the Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz. The cards of invitation were issued yesterday. The Marquis and Marchioness of Waterford have left Lon don for Hamburgh, by the General Steam Navigation Com pany's mail steam-ship Countess Lonsdale, Captain R. S. .Bti4nack. The Earl and Countess De Grey and suite are expected to leave. the Vice-regal Lodge, Dublin, on Wednesday next, for St. James's-square, via Kingstown and Liverpool. MICSGRIX.ZAATEOI7B. It appears there is no truth in the statement that the St. Vincent, 120, and the Camperdown, 104, are ordered to Gibraltar or Tangier. The crew of the Camperdown is to be turned over to the Queen, and the ship will be out of com mission. The St. Vincent has left Portsmouth, and it is un derstood will cruize in the chops of the channel. On Tuesday the half-yearly meeting of the Royal Humane Society was held in the office, Trafalgar-square, Admiral Sit Edward Codrington in the chair. The meeting was thinly attended. The minutes of previous meetings having been read and confirmed, it was announced that his Impe rial Majesty the Emperor of Russia and the King of Saxony had been elected honorary members of the Society. his Im perial Majesty, it appeared, was mainly instrumental in TT mg the life of an individual last season, who had well nigh been drowned in the Wilna. Of cases which had occurred since December last there had been 42, of these 39 had been successful through the assistance of the Society's exer tions—three unhappily were beyond recovery. Several medals were awarded, and the meeting separated. Two new churches are about to be built in Pimlico, one in the Belgrave-read, near Warwick-square, and the other near the Orange Tavern. • A Correspondent of the Dublin Pilot says, the Government has spies in every Catholic chapel in the country. The police, it appears—the Catholic police—have been ordered to report everything said by the priests about repeal. Several of the police have been dismissed for refusing to become spies and informers. The annual festival of the Metropolitan Free Hospital took place last evening at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street, under the most favourable auspices. The Right Honourable the Lord Mayor took the chair. The Honorary Secre- tary, Mr. E. F. Chance, read. the report, from which it appeared that the object contemplated by the bdnevolent founders of the hospital was to afford daily medical and sur gical relief gratuitously to the helpless, friendless, and afflicted poor, without requiring from them a governor's letter of recommendation ; and, should the funds increase, to receive into the hospital all cases of emergency and severity. Nearly 10,000 persons were relieved during the past year, and the committee had resolved from henceforth to open the institu tion for the reception of in-door patients, in firm reliance on the increased liberality of the public. Yesterday must have been a day particularly grate ful to Mr. Alderman Adam, and one he will not easily for get. He arrived yesterday from Paris, and about one o'clock the whole of the officers of the National Guard, headed by Colonel Sansot, their commander, waited in a body on Mr. Adam, to congratulate him on the successful termination of his labours in the cause of the town; by the adoption of a railway to Boulogne from Amiens by the Chamber of Deputies ; as also to return him, in the name of the town, their grate ful thanks for his services and unceasing exertions to bring it to so happy a conclusion : W e un d erstan d th a t the May or was deeply affected by this unexpected honour, and the ad dress made to him by Mr. Sansot, in the name of all present; so much so that he could at first scarcely reply, but when he bad a little recovered himself, he replied With his usual happy felicity, and, as true merit always does, begged that they would not consider the important victory just gained as whomh i s exertions x e h r e r tio a n i s da solely, but to many others, to each and. just tribute of praise. When the de putation left him they visited M r . F on taine, whom they a:so t h a nked for his exertions.—B ou l ogne G aze tt e . B UR NING OF TH E M ADRAS T RANSPORT - SHIP , OFF DEPTFORD DOCKYARD.—Y es t er d a y morn i ng , s h or tly a ft er m idnight, a most alarmin g fi re was . discove r ed rag i ng ou due all offo board the Madras transport-ship, whilst lying in the River, off Deptford Dockyard. She is the property of Mr. Somes, the extensive shipowner at Ratcliffe, and has recently been chartered by Government for the conveyance of stores and ammunition to Hong-Kong. ImMediately on the dockyard authorities being made aware of the outbreak, Sir John Hill, the captain-superintendent, directed the large floating en gine to be taken alongside the burning vessel, manned by fifty of the Royal Marines, and fifty policemen and labourers. It was speedily got to work, and , threw a vast body of water into the hold, but the flames wereso oveapowering that it was deemed prudent to haul her into the middle' of the river, so as to scuttle her. In doing this she unfOrtunately broke away, and drifted athwart the General Steam Navigation Com pany's steamers at Deptford, and a host of Dutch galliots. The confusion and alarm then became double, and several poor Dutch seamen fell overboard and were nearly drowned, as was the case with a few of the Marines, by falling from the engine. At length all were got clear, and at four o'clock the Madras was securely scuttled in shallow water. The loss is very considerable, and the owner is understood not to be insured. The sunken vessel will be raised in a few days, by means of chain lighters. FRIGHTFUL STEAMBOAT COLLISION.—A frightful steam-boat collision, providentially unattended with loss of life, occurred yesterday evening in Lambeth reach. The Daylight iron boat was on her way from Westminster-bridge to Lambeth-stairs, when the Pink, belonging to the wooden steam-boat company, which had just left Chandler's, and was making for the Surrey side of Westminster-bridge, struck her with immense force forward on the starboard side and almost cut her down to the water's edge. The passengers were thrown prostrate on the deck, the railing and seats of which were carried away. Several watermen immediately put off from either side, but. fortunately there were no per sons overboard, and the Daylight, in her crippled state, made ' the pier at Lambeth, where site landed her passengers. Although many were severely bruised, the only serious in juries we could ascertain were the fracture of a child's leg am the dislocation of a lady's collar bone. It is evideet that boa boats must have been going at great speed, but which cap tain was most to blame will, in all probability, be the subject of legal inquiry. WAPPING, SHADWELL, AND ST.

THE WAVERLEY BALL. It must be premised that this ball was devised for the pur pose of raising a fund in aid of the general subscription for toMpletion of the monument at present in course of erec tion in tae city cF lidinburgh to the memory of Sir Walter Scott. There is a didiciiity hi naming the identical person with whom the idea originated of enibOri'fing hi a fancy ball the characters of that great novelist and poet; but to who ever the credit is due, we have only to say, the most sanguine expectations must have been surpassed by the gorgeous and brilliant spectacle the arena of "Willis's Rooms presented on Monday night. The object of the promoters of this magni ficent assembly has ben fully gained. We stated, at a rough guess, yesterday, that there was between 1, 2 0 0 and 1 , 300 persons of rank and distinction at the ball ; we can now assert., oa authority, that no less than 1,438 tickets were actually entered, so that upwards of 1,0001. will pass into the exche quer of the Committee. In an early stage of the arrangements, the ladies patronesses were unanimous in their desire to limit the issue of vouchers, but owing to the extensive demand it was judged almost a necessity to increase the original number named by 500. On Monday afternoon vouchers could not be procured fot either love or money. It was silo4ly after nine when the carriages began to set down company at both entrances to the room, and there was an uninterrupted succession of arrivals until after one. The arrangements for the reception of the company were beyond all praise. The splendid rooms are well known to our aris tocracy to possess all the conveniences requisite for a monstre ball, certainly not to be approached by any other establish ment. On this occasion it was necessary, however, to in crease the ordinary accommodation, in order that the per sonal comfort of all present should be insured. The supper room on the ground-floor was appropriated for dancing, and the staircase leading from that room to the ball-room Love was suitably decorated with exotics, &c., and access was gained with the greatest facility to both rooms. The grand ball-room had rows of raised seats arranged at the east end,' covered with crimson, exclusively for the use of the ladies patronesses, and those beauties of our nobility who were to take part in the fancy quadrilles. The five costly chan deliers, and the girandoles, from which the room was illumi nated by hundreds of wax lights, were tastefully orna mented with roses and camellias. In the supper-room an extended table was supplied with the choicest refresh ments, and two rooms up stairs were set apart for refections of a lighter description. Several of the rooms, as well as the staircases, were abundantly embellished by flowering plants and exotics. The ladies patronesses were in early attendance, and were conducted to what is termed at Almack's the " Card Room," although at those assemblies such instruments of gaming are never allowed. The tea room, invariably used as the salon of meeting for those dominant personages, was on Monday the locale for the congregation of the ladies and gentlemen taking characters in the Waverley quadrille (the Marchioness of Londonderry's), so that not the slightest confusion arose. . Her Royal- Highness the Duchess of Gloucester arrived from Gloucester House precisely at ten o'clock, the leading ladies patronesses advancing to meet that illustrious and ami able member of our Royal Family. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by Major Stephens, came shortly after his royal sister. The Royal Duke wore the uniform of Colonel of the Coldstream Guards, and the riband of the order of the Garter. It was nearly eleven when the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh Strelitz arrived. By half-past ten the ball-room was crammed to excess, and it was feared that from the intense anxiety manifested by the company to witness the procession of the Waverley quadrille, great inconvenience would be experienced in the necessary endeavour to obtain sufficient space for the forma tion of the quadrille. As a prelude to the commencement o? the ball, Tolbecque's powerful orchestra played the national anthem, at the con clusion of which the folding doors of the tea-room were thrown open. All eyes were directed to that apartment, and a signal having been conveyed to M. Tolbecque, the band struck up the march of the " English Volunteers," at which the procession began its progress along the left centre of the salon de danse, to the raised benches where the Royal Family and ladies patronesses were seated, advancing in the follow ing order, the annexed programme setting forth the names and assumed characters of the Marchioness of Londonderry's esonstre quadrille : COUNT ROBERT OF PARIS.

Yesterday a meeting of the Roman Catholics of Lon don was held at the Music Hall, Store-street, Bedford square, for the purpose of adopting an address of sym pathy to Mr. O'Connell and his fellow-prisoners, and also to adopt such measures, in case of the House of Lords recognising the validity of the verdict of the Court of Queen's Bench in Ireland, as would enable the English Catholics to manifest their appreciation of Mr. O'Connell's efforts in the cause of civil and religious freedom, by subscribing towards a fund for paying the excessive tines which were inflicted upon him • and the other traveriers. J. R.Cocke, Esq., having taken the chair, the Secretary proceeded to read the address to Mr.O'Connell, which was couched in terms of the strongest affection and respect towards the lion. and Learned Gentleman, and which expressed the conviction of the meeting that the verdict was obtained by the total perversion of justice, equity, and truth. The CHAIRMAN, in addressing the meeting, said that the Catholics of London were bound by every princip!e of gratitude and sympathy, during his incarceration, towards him through whose medium their fetters had been struck off. lie cautioned the meeting that it was not a repeal meeting, and trusted that no speaker would discuss' this subject, as he thought it would be much more flattering to Mr. O'Connell to receive the unani mous addresl of 200,000 English Catholics, irrespective of the varied views which they might entertain upon that question. tARNWEI,L, Esq. proposed the first resolution, to the effect that the late proceedings against Mr. O'Con nell and the other prisoners was most unjust and op pressive, and that the proceedings had been carried out in a party and sectarian spirit. The Rev. R. CHAPMAN seconded the resolution, which was cart ied with acclamation. JOHN BLOOMFIELD, Esq., proposed the next resolu tion, which assured Mr. O'Connell and his fellow-tra veners of the sympathy of the English Roman Catholics towards them in their captivity, and of their lasting gratitude 'to Mr. O'Connell for his past services to the cause of Catholicity in general, and pledging the meeting that it would join with the Irish nation in the glorious privilege of purchasing the freedom of Mr. O'Connell and his brother sufferers, by subscribing to the amount so unjustly imposed upon them as the price of their political ransom. Dr. O'CoNNon seconded the resolution, which was passed with acclamation. Mr. Wm. AMHERST proposed the next resolution, which determined that a deputation should be appointed, who would wait upon Mr. O'Connell in prison, and pre sent him with the address. Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting, which separated after a vote of thanks to the Chairman. Upon the platform we observed several of the most eminent clergymen and influential gentlemen belonging to the Roman Catholic persuasion in London. DREADFUL MURDER AND AT TEMPTED SUICIDE. MANCHESTER, TUESDAY MORNING.—On Sunday night last the inhabitants of Salford were thrown into a state of great alarm by the discovery of a most brutal and cold blooded murder which had been perpetrated by a man of the name of Thomas Stew, who afterwards attempted the de struction of his own life. It appears that the perpetrator of this deed was a labourer, and of rather indifferent character. He kept company with the unfortunate victim of his cruelty, and appeared to be passionately fond of her. Her name was Alice Nolan. She was a factory girl, about 28 years of age. On Saturday night last they met at the house of a friend, where they passed some time together. In the course of the evening Stew told the deceased that he had bought the lino - , and by her consent ordered the banns to be published, and requested her to get ready to be married in three weekp. Deceased was angry, and told him that as he had done so without consulting her she would not be married then. Some words of an unpleasant nature were exchanged on the sub ject, but nothing to attract the attention of the parties in whose house they were. It appeared, however, that the deceased was alarmed at something which he had said to her, as she went home in a state of considerable excitement. On Sunday morning they again met at the same house, where they spent the day together. They appeared perfectly friendly, and in the afternoon went out together and stayed away for nearly two hours. About five o'clock the deceased returned by herself, and was shortly followed by Stew. He was then labc,uring under great excitement. Shortly afterwards he went out to a neighbour's house and borrowed a razor and brush, as he said, to shave himself. The parties had tea together and appeared quite friendly. Between nine and ten o'clock they left the house of their friend with a view of going home. The villain appears to have taken the unfortunate female down a back street and walked her to a vacant plot of ground, known as "Shaw's-brow," where they got into conversation, and whilst talking to her he drew the razor from his pocket and cut her throat from ear to ear. There were numbers of people within sight of the spot where the murder was committed, but none of them observed them standing together. The poor creature staggered about 40 yards and then fell upon the flags, with her head against the wall of a cottage. She was first seen by a girl about 16 years of age, named Bury, who flew to her assistance and screamed out " Murder." - A working man, named Thomas Barber, came up at the same time and put his handkerchief round her throat; but in less than five minutes she expired. The murderer having effected his purpose ran off, and on reaching the house of their friend, where they bad spent the day, he came down the yard singing very loud, and making. a great noise • he placed his finger upon the latch ofihe door, and attempted to open it, but could not. He was then heard to say, " Here goes," and in another instant the door flew open and he fell flat upon the floor, bleeding profusely. On being taken up and examined, it was found that he had in flicted a deep wound upon his throat, from which the blood was flowing in all directions. The woman of the house put her arms round his neck, and held the wound together, until a surgeon arrived, when it was sewed up. The un fortunate man never spoke during the whole of the operation. He was immediately conveyed to the Manchester Infirmary, where he now lies without the least prospect of recovery. Last night an inquest was held on view of the body, before Mr. Rutter, when some of the above facts were given in evi dence; but the inquiry being considered incomplete, the inquest was adjourned till Thursday afternoon, at five o'clock. THE LATE W. IL STUCKEY, C. E. Died last Thursday, W. H. Stuckey, C. E., the author of the system of Filtering large bodies of water, that goes by his name. He was also the inventor of many important discoveries, especially one for a New Motive Power by a pneumatic process, which has obtained patents in Eng land, France, Holland, Belgium, and Austria ; and another for a Process of Tanning, which, like his Filtra tion, economised space, time, and money. The de ceased's system for filtering water was recommended in both Houses of Parliament, and Lords Brougham and Radnor especially called the attention of Government and the Commissioners on the Health of Large Towns to its great utility. In France it is about being applied to all the fountains of Paris, and here to the intended fountains in Trafalgar-square. Mr. Stuckey was born at Cherson, on the banks of the Dnieper, where Howard, the philanthropist, died. He was afterwards a civil engineer and merchant in St. Petersburgh, where, having obtained the Governor's (Count Essen's) approbation for his plan for supplying that city with pure water, he was doomed to endure the consequences of arbitary power. The son of a member of the Government finding the intended plan to be a profitable one, solicited the con tract, and obtained it. Stuckey was ordered to take down his works and sacrifice his capital. He asked the reason. The reply was characteristic—" It is your duty to obey, and not put impertinent questions." Descended from English parents, and with English feelings, he re fused. The works were pulled down in the dead of night by 200 men of the fire-brigade. He petitioned seventeen times without obtaining a single answer. His anxiety at seeing himself so treated where his brother had been ennobled for his public services by the late Emperor Alexander, and his father acknowledged to be the best builder of the Russian navy, laid the foundation of the disease of which he died. He refused to state his wrongs during the recent visit of the Emperor Nicholas, as he considered that the Emperor knew nothing personally about the conduct of his Ministry, though the letter of the Marquis of Northampton, as the President of the Royal Society, stating that the Emperor ought to be welt received in this country, from the patronage afforded to English men of science by the Russian Government, could in his own case and a hundred others be flatly denied. He died a martyr to science—a victim to arbi trary power. NEWLY-INVENTED SPECTACLES, TELESCOPES, OPERA GLASSES, MICROSCOPES, &c.—Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, Opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Picca dilly, have succeeded in effecting a most scientific im provement in Spectacle and Telescope Lenses, &c., of the greatest transparent power. The extraordinary advantage derived from this invention is that vision becomes preserved and strengthened and very aged per: suns are enabled to employ their sight either by day or candle light at the most minute occupation, and can see with those Lenses of a much less magnifying power, nor will they require the frequent changes to further helps as the Spectacles now in common use. Also newly-in vented Achromatic Waiscoat-pocket Telescopes and Opera Glasses which are invaluable at the sea- side and on the race-course, as well as at the theatre, &c.—Every kind of Telescope for Shooting, Sea purposes, and upon stand for astronomical observations with the celebrated Lenses of the most clear transparent brilliancy ; the powers are so great and the Lenses so bright and bril liant that minute objects at an extraordinary distance arc brought completely under the eyes.—Sportsmen, Tourists, and sea-side visitors will indeed here have a great treat. Their invisible Voice Conductor gives im mediate relief to old standing extreme cases of deafness. Caution.—Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, Opticians and Aurists, , are not in any way connected with a person of the same name in their immediate neighbourhood, nor in any part of the country. To prevent mistakes, be cautious, and ohserve.—Only to be had at 39, Aite marle-street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel. The Rev. A.

We are enabled to say that "the measure" was gone through most successfully. It is due to the Marchioness of Londonderry to remark, at this stage of our notice, that all those persons of fashion who participated, not only in her quadrille, but in the pleasures of the night, are greatly in debted to her ladyship for the great attraction and rare en tertainment she undertook to complete. Had her ladyship possessed regal influence it could not have been more splendid or successful. The dresses were scrupulously correct in all the details. _ The fancy quadrilles of Lady Caroline Sandford and the Des.

MONEY MARKET and CITY Nk3WS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 12$ per mine, - which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10511. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 465 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 475, it follows that gold is 0.04 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 435 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10511. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 8, it follows that gold is 0.58 per cent. dearer in Hamburgh than in London.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mary Dillon, a young and beautiful girl, wearing a profusion of jewellery, was placed at the bar on the following charge: — Police-constable John Cox, No. 63 of the C divisiou, stated that between two and three o'clock this morning, as he was proceeding on duty along Piccadilly, he found the defendant sitting at the step of a door near to St. James's Church. her head was leaning on her knees, and at first he concluded that she was sleeping, but on a closer inspection he found she was in a state of complete stupor. He therefore conveyed her to the station-house, where, by the direction of Inspector Frowd of the C division, she was attended by Dr. Tothill, of Charles-street, St. James's-square, the divisional surgeon of the force ; but two hours elapsed before she was restored to a state of consciousness. She afterwards intimated by signs to the Inspector that she was deaf and dumb, and ultimately wrote her name and her address, at Fulham, on a slate — but she declined giving any further information respect ing herself. Dr. Tothill was of opinion that she was suffering from the effects of some intoxicating fluid, which, of course, might'have been designedly administered to her. Inspector Frowd said, he had no doubt of the defen dant actually being dumb. Mr. MALTBY—Dear me ; is that the fact—does any one know her ? Sergeant BUrnett, No. 20 of the C division, said, that a twelvemonth ago she was living in a style of great splendour in Piccadilly, under the protection of a nobleman. Inspector Frowd said a very valuable gold watch was found in her posession, but no money. It also appeared that about twelve months ago she was found insensible in the street, and was locked up in a station-house for the night, on the supposition that she was drunk, and from that time she became deaf and dumb. Mr. MA7TBY humanely directed Sergeant Burnett to see her home to her friends. HISTORIC FANCIES.—BY THE HON. GEORGIA SYDNEY SMYTHE, M.P.—This volume is calculated to at tract a considerable share of public attention, not merely because it exhibits great talent, and indicates a greater promise, but because it represents, in its various pages, a picture of that youthful and stirring mind which has re cently so much engaged the observation, and, in a great degree, the sympathy of the public. The charm of the book is full of freshness and vigorous fancy. The writer has surveyed the past and present, disembarrassed of those conventionalities that are crumbling around us, and has arrived at results, which may be, in some in stances, crude, but which are always genuine. He de livers himself of his strong convictions in a-style pas sionate, yet chaste and precise ; and whether he blazons the achievements of the great aristocracy of France, or celebrates the superhuman energies of the Jacobins of PariS• l ---wliether he charge the Roundhead with the Ca tholic Cavalier, or canonize Armand Carrel in a lyric of almost unrivalled grace, we find everywhere the real feeling' and ythguage always• sustaining the sentiment, as proniKagvassionate, and picturesque. The finest thing in thul voluine is— _ " The merohants of Old England, the seigneurs of the seas."_ It is re'ally.a great national strain.— Times. THE WEATHER AND CROPS.—Easterly winds stilt prevail, and being accompanied, as usually happens, with a low temperature, vegetation has not for several days made much progress. The atmosphere, however, is dry, which is favourable for the wheat ; and I the land still containing a good supply of mois ture, everything wears the aspect of health. Potatoes look rather poorly, beirg both thin in the drills and weakly in the stem. The thinning of tur nips is, in this neighbourhood, well advanced. A good deal of hay is now in the rick, and having been put up under favourable circumstances, will beof excellent qua-. lity. The cut, however, is far from heavy ; but the. second crop presents an appearance of great luxuriance, and will no doubt go far to compensate the deficiency of the main crop.—Scotsman of Saturday. EXTRAORDINARY FREAK Or NATURE.—In the month of May last Mr. bolls, under-keeper to Lord Digby, discovered, in Whitfield Wood, a pheasant's nest containing twelve eggs; about three weeks since, on examining the nest again, he found that the bird had l eft three of the eggs behind, and feeling a curiosity to know the reason -why tha eggs had not been hatched, he broke the shells, and in each egg found a young pheasant, perfect and billed, but, singular to relate, each bird had four legs and four feet. Mr. Rolls cut off the legs, and has since preserved them. He called at lour office on Saturday, when we had an opportunity of per sonally inspecting this singular natural curiosity.—Sherbornu I Journal,
