RIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.! 7:10x THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—A rumour has been freely circulated, and obtains increwsing credit, that Sir Robert Peel intends to submit to Parliament a scheme fp. taking the power of governing the British territories in the East out of the hands of the Hon. East India Com pany, and placing them immediately under the Crow n. The misunderstanding which arose between the Court of Directors send her Majesty's Ministers respect ing the reseal. of Ie rd Ellenhoroegh, and the in convenience and annoyance ceused to the former by the decisive exercise of the power of recal vested in the former body, may have given rise to the rumour, without any more substantial fourixtion. The " wish" may have been "father to the thought," in the mind of the Government. The language of desire that the thing could be accomplished, uttered by a subordinate in the Ministry, tray have been interpreted into an inten tion, on the part of its Chief, to carry it into execu tion. We neither affirm nor deny the fact, that some such scheme as that referred to is contemplated by the Government. The thing is possible. The idea might have arisen without any reference to the difference which arose between Ministers and the Honourable Court of Directors respecting Lord Ellenhorough. If such a difference had never taken place, there are circumstances which would invest the rumour with a sufficient air of probability to justify its being treated with respect. An investigation of the principles on which the assumed transfer of the powers of Govern ment, now held by the Court of Directors, to the re sponsible Ministers of the Crown, may therefore be permitted, without exposing us to the charge of adopting a groundless rumour as an ascertained fact. A project for adopting the debt of the East India Company and funding it in British stock, may have keen entertained by the Government, with a view to accelerate the redemption of the dividend on the capital stock of the Company. This scheme would receive an accession of public belief, were it ascertained that the Court of Directors has called upon the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, in pursuance of the 15th section of the Act of 1833, to raise for the Company such sums of money as might be necessary for the payment of the Company's dividend, by reason of any failure or delay of the re mittances of the proper funds for such payments. If such an event has occurred, it may be thought to fur nish a case for the redemption of the debt at an early period, on the ground that the owners of the capital stock ought not to have so large an interest at the ex pense of the public. The present state of the money market is especially favourable for the purpose. Go vernment would be able to borrow the whole sum required for the purpose, at a rate of interest little more than one-half the amount per cent. paid to the proprietors of the Hon. Com pany's stock. A careful perusal of the clauses of the Act (3 and 4 Will. IV., cap. 85) has led us to conclude that such a measure would be a dereliction of the redemption section of the Act— whether it would be in contravention of its principle, supposing that the interference of the Commis sioners of the National Debt has been called for in the way we have alluded to, is a point we leave lawyers, who are disposed to apply themselves to the question, to decide. We quote the clauses of the Act which bear upon the subject ; and conclude by remarking that, without pretending to a knowledge of the plans of Ministers, there is sufficiet probability in the rumour that some measure of the kind alluded to will be announced, to justify our bringing the sub ject before the public. The provisions of the Act should he clearly known and understood. Without them the power of the Legislature to carry out the supposed designs of the Government cannot be ascertained, nor the arguments which, in the event of the scheme being proposed in Parlia ment, will be raised upon the question, be appreciated. By the Act alluded to, 3 and 4 William IV., cap. 85, intituled " An Act for effecting an arrangement with the East India Compa - ay, and for the better govern ment of his Majesty's Indian territories.till the 30th day of April, 1854," it is enacted by the 11th sec tion : " That out of the revenues of the territories, there shall be paid to or retained by the said Company to their own use, a yearly dividend, after the rate of ten pounds ten shillings per centum per annum on the present amount of their capital stock ; the said dividend to be payable in Great Britain by equal half-yearly payments, on the 6th day of January and the 6th day of July in every year; the first half-yearly payment to be made on the 6th day of July, one thousand eight hundred and thirty-four." By the 12th section it is provided and enacted— " That the said dividend shall be subject to redemp tion by Parliament upon and at any time after the 30th day of April, 1854, on payment to the Company of 2001. sterling for every 100/. of the said capital stock, together with a proportionate part of the same dividend, if the redemption shall take place on any other day than any one of the said half-yearly days of payment. Provided also, that 12 months' notice, in writing, signified by the Speaker of the House of Commons by the order of the House, shall be given to the said Company of the inten tion of Parliament to redeem the said dividend." And by the 13th section it is provided and enacted:— " That if on or at any time after the said 30th day of April, 1854, the said Company shall, by the expiration of the term hereby granted, cease to retain, or shall by the authority of Parliament be deprived of the posses sion and guvernment of the said territories, it shall be lawful 6)r the said Company, within one year thereafter, to demand the redemption of the said dividend, and pro vision shall be made for redeeming the said dividend after the rate aforesaid, within three years after such demand." And by the 15th section it is provided and enacted— " That it shall be lawful for the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, from time to time, and they are hereby required, upon requisition made for that purpose by the Court of Directors of the said Company, to raise and pay to the said Company, such sums of mo ney as may ba necessary for the payment of the said Company's dividend, by reason of any failure or delay of the remittances of the proper funds for such payment." STANDARD.—The session of the French Cham bers opens auspiciously for Marshal Soult's Adminis tration, notwithstanding the coincidence of accidents and misapprehensions which gave to the representative of the Nantes slave dealers an apparently large mino rity in his late competition with a Ministerial can didate. At the first serious trial of strength—the appointment of a committee to draw up the Address in reply to the King's Speech—the Ministers counted a majority of fifty-two, viz., 206 to 154. This majority—quite a sufficient working majority by itself—will be considerably augmented ashen 100 now absent Deputies shall appear in their places ; for the extraordinary exertions made by the Opposition, and the easy confidence of the pacific party previously to the commencement of the session, give an assurance that much the greater number of the ebsentees must belong to the latter party ; and the Paris Globe distinctly affirms such to be the case, without any contradiction from the Opposition press. There is no reason, therefore, to appre hend that the French people are prepared to dis honour themselves by stirring up a war for the sake of' the slave trade, or willing to make war for its own sake. The abstract hatred of England which M. Thiers and his faction have so lung laboured to excite, has disappeared, and all are now ashamed to profess it ; and the pretence that England employs the right of visit for the purpose of crippling the trade of France, set up by the Nantes slave dealers, has received its decisive answer in the known readiness of the British Government to acquiesce in any arrangement which shall re concile the suppression of the slave trade with the interests and feelings of' the French people, leaving it to France herself to determine what that arrangement shall be. Are not the terms, however, of the Chinese treaty even better proof than this frank and candid offer, that England does not seek to cripple the trade of France, or of any other country ? She has no interest in doing so, but the reverse; and if she be disposed to indulge pride in the matter, what occasion of higher pride can she have than the liberal patronage of the commerce of the whole civilise l world' Her commercial posi tion is happily one that would make jealousy on her part disgraced. Before the division . upon the ap pointment o f t h e C omm itt ee , M. Guizot shortly addressed the Chamber in an outline of what would he, if required, a vindication of the policy of his Government. The tone of the distinguished statesman's ob serva ti ons was man l y, as usua l w ith Lun, and calm and confident as that of a man who knew the strength both of his cause and his party. Th e deserters who have followed l Count llole into Opposition were represented by M. St. Marc Girardin, and may number five or six. All of every country who respect worth and genius must rejoice in the ascendancy of so brillant a representative of b o th as M. Guizot ;• but, apart from all consideration s f or t h e Minister deserted, it is impossible not to r egar d the desertion of M. Mole with a feeling o f d eep di sgust. We can forget the hatred to Engl an d o f M. niers, a n d o f other still more violent enemies of this country, lecause it is through a mistaken feeling, still, a French hatred—a hatred founded upon the erroneous opinion that the interests and honour of Great Britain and France are irreconcileable ; but Count Mole is no more a Frenchman in his feeling than he is an Englishman— he is a Russian. From first to last he has never wholly averted his eyes from St. Petersburgh. M. Guizot is well rid of the burthen of his doubtful support, F yen at the cost of losing the little six-handed Russian party in the second chamber. That the secession of the Mole party will strengthen M. Guisot's position in France, we cannot doubt. " Similis simili gaudet," according to the pro-tech, as France has advanced in freedom and civilisation —and rapid, indeed, has been her advance within the last few years she has felt more and more the advantage of a perfectly good un derstanding among all free and civilised na tions—has been more indisposed to despotic and barbarous alliances. This feeling is still pro gressive in France, as it has long been in England, and as it extends it will by a natural necessity, un- , eonnected wholly with turbulent propagandism, force THE Stifg, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EViiq civilisation and frcedotn upon all neighbouring coun tries until Europe shall be composed of one fatinly of civilised, and free, and independent nations, among which ‘1 r will be impossihie, because war must 1-,e ruinous—the true " holy alliance." The intelligent and high, spirited people of France are fully alive to their prospects and their duties in thi- respect, and they will not willingly commit their country to a despotic and- barbarous alliance. SHIPPING GAZETTE.—We have much plea sure in informing our readers that the Elder Brethren of the Trinity Board, in answer to the memorial of the owners and masters of vessels and other persons interested in the commerce of the port of Hartlepool, ..soliciting that a lighthouse may be established on the Heugh at that place, concur with the memorialists in the opinion that a light house may he advantageously placed upon Hartlepool Heugh ; and that they are " ready to take the neces sary measures for erecting such lighthouse, and main taining a light thereon during the night season ; pro f vided the trade of the port shanconsent to pay such toll on all vessels entering the port or departing there from as shall be requisite to defray the expense of such lighthouse and light." This the trade of the port are willing to do, as expressed in their memorial ; but while willing to bear the whole burthen, they are of course desirous to have it as light as possible. It will be trifling, considering the benefit that will be derived thereby. On this point alone there is a slight differ ence of opinion between the memorialists and the Trinity Board, which will no doubt soon be rectified, when explanations are entered into. We shall then furnish our readers with the correspondence which has passed on the subject. The Trinity Board appears to have no desire whatever to burden the shipping trading to the port of Hartlepool with a greater amount of taxation than what will be barely necessary for erect ing and maintaining a proper light on the Heugh. And as this light will prove of essential service to all vessels trading on the east coast of England, we have no reason to doubt that both the Trinity Board of London, and the Trinity Board of Newcastle, will assist in all that is necessary towards so desirable an undertaking. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (YESTERDAY.) OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) David Rees, aged 35, labourer, was charged with stealing, on the 21st November last, a firkin of butter, value 405., the property of Wm. Carr. Mr. WILKINS defended the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence, that the firkin of butter in question had been placed outside the prosecutor's shop door, in the Walworth-road, to be in readiness for a carrier, who was to have removed it. The prisoner, who was acting in concert with a man who drove a cart slowly along, first attracted the atten tion of an intelligent little boy, named John Charles Woodford, in attempting to carry off a bale of hosiery from the shop door of a Mr. Lyons, who lived opposite the prosecutor ; but finding himself foiled through the watchfulness of the boy Woodford, he dropped the bale, and crossing over the way was seen to take up the firkin of butter and throw it into the cart, trusting to the dense ness of the fog, 'which was prevailing at the time, to escape detection ; however, the boy, who still kept his eye upon the movements of the prisoner, instantly g ave the alarm to the prosecutor's shopman, upon which the latter went over to the cart, and in it saw the firkin of butter belonging to his master, which he took hold of, but was instantly struck back by the man who was driv ing, and who immediately whipped his horse furiously, and escaped in the fog. The prisoner, who was well known to the little boy, Woodford, was not taken into custody until a month after the occurrence. The driver of the cart has never been discovered.—Sentence, seven years' transportation. Ellen Carroll, aged 38, a widow, was convicted of stealing 40s. 6d., the property of William Thurgoed, her master, the proprietor of the Black Horse, Barbican. A previous conviction for felony was then proved against the prisoner. —Sentence, seven years' transpor tation. • POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. Samuel Tyso, the coachman of Mr. Joseph Somes, M.P. for Dartmouth, was summoned before the Lord Mayor and Sir John Pirie for having assaulted the conductor of one of Hollingsworth's omnibuses, and for having obstructed the driver in passing through the City. George J. Sandford, conductor of Hollingsworth's Chelsea omnibus, stated that on last Thursday even ing, as he was following Mr. Hollingsworth, who drove the omnibus, the defendant, who was driving a carriage with ladies in it, obstructed the passage of the former, and prevented it from going along through the City when there was plenty of room. From Temple-bar to Cheapside the obstruction was conti nued. The witness, by the direction of Mr. Hol lingsworth, got down to speak to the ladies in the carriage, and civilly asked them their address, but they refused to give it to him ; and when he asked the defendant, that person whipped him, and cut a piece out of his cheek. 'Witness took hold of the horses, but not till he was struck by the coachman. Hollingsworth stated that he was driver as well as proprietor of the omnibus. As he was driving along Fleet-street the defendant obstructed him several times, and prevented him from passing, although there was plenty of room. '1 here were cabs, omnibuses, and other vehicles going and coming. Witness re quested to be allowed to pass, but the defendant re fused, and at Ludgate-hill put his finger to his nose, as much as to say how do you like it? Witness thought the coachman out of his mind, and when he reached Cheapside told the conductor to go down and ask the ladies for their address, intending to write to the owner of the carriage on the subject. 'When the conductor went forward to do as he was directed, the defendant began to whip him. George Adams, the driver of one a Glover's om nibuses, stated that he was behind Hollingsworth's omnibus, and saw the defendant drive the carriage right across the road to prevent Hollingsworth from going along, although there was quite sufficient room. Other witnesses testified to similar effect. The defendant said that he offered no impediment to the passing of the omnibus, and did all he could to pass on, but there was no room at all, as the streets were excessively crowded. The conductor got down in Cheapside and took hold of the horses' heads, and then he (defendant) certainly struck him with the whip. Mr. Somes's footman stated that it was quite im possible for the defendant to get on more quickly than he had done, and that he presented no impedi ment to the omnibus. The Loin MAYOR, after having strictly examined all the witnesses, said that the assault was cle'irly proved, but he and Sir John Pirie were not satisfied with the evidence in proof of the obstruction. The defendant was then bound in his own sureties to appear at the sessions to answer for the assault. JOhn Robinson and Alfred Wilson, two young men, were fine.i ten shillings each for knocking at doors and ringing bells at three o'clock in the morning The Lord Mayor received 2/. for the poor-box from A. L. A. X. INCENDIARISM.—WAftwIcK.—We are this week , called upon to record one of the most revolting acts of incendiarism that has ever occurred in this berough. On the evening of Wednesday last an alarm was given that the hay-ricks, belonging to Mrs. Ledbroke. of the West-street, were in flames, and the report was found to be correct. Some few yards on the right hand side of the Longbridge-road, and about five minutes' walk from the \Vest -street, there were two ricks of hay, and imme diately opposite two hovels, one thatched and the other tiled. The smaller rick was fired at the side nearest the hovels, and the larger one, about 20 tons, was ignited upon the same side, but, I7appily, the fire was soon ex tinguished. The engines were speedily sent for, and continued playing upon the flames for some time, and about eight tons of hay were saved. Upon examining the hovels, some rails and a hurdle had been placed upon a quantity of straw, and evidently so arranged that the air could draw through, so that the whole building would, in a few minutes, have been in flames ; fortu nately, however, the wood was in a green state, and would not easily burn. The villains by whom this scheme was concocted then attempted, it is supposed, to set the stall on fire, directly opposite, in which was a quantity of hay and straw locked up, and on the other side, where two beasts were confined. There is no doubt these points were first attempted, as the fire was seen to burn faintly previously to the two ricks becoming ig nited. The whole of the circumstances evince a brutal determination entirely to consume the property. we understard that the hay is insured in the County Fire office, and that Mr. Elvins, the active agent, has travelled to London to lay the case before the authorities of that office.—Learnington Courier. CRISf. CON. IN PARIS.—We mentioned some time back a curious case which occurred in the Rue Dauphin, where it was said that the wife of a Peer of France had, wanigtherheor l f her‘"e•hr,usaballn(d)o,r b s y t u g d e e t n t n , g esc o ape d from out of f the j the garret. ust and crossing the roofs of several houses at the risk of her life. It appears, from an application made on Friday to the Civil Tribunal of the Seine, for a separa tion from bed and board on the part of her husband, that though some of the minor circumstances were mis stated, yet all the main points of the story were correct. The husband is not a Peer of France, but a person of great celebrity in the. arts. Suspecting the conduct of his wife, he had her watched, and the result of the investigation which he instituted was to di-cover her place of rendezvous in the Rue Dauphin. It appears that after her escape and return home she was so muc h borne down by fatigue, bodily and mental, that she avowed her fault, arid it was on this acknowledgment that the husband brought his action for a reparation. The counsel for the wife confined himself to demand ing that one of the three children should be left with the mother until the age of-seven years. But the Court, in pronouncing the separation, ordered the three chil dren to be placed exclusively under the father's care.-- Gatynani. Tile hour appointed for holding the first Cabinet Council previous to the meeting of Parliament is three o'clock on Thursday next. It is expected all the Minis ters will be present,.

(From the London New Price Current of Jan. 7.) StiGAR.—TO-dly, in cousequeece of importers of West India Sugar submitting to prices rather under those previously quoted by private contract, buyers were induced to come forward with increased freedom, and a large business was transacted in grocery and re fining descriptions ; in all, 930 hhds were disposed of. At public sale, 100 hbds of Barbadoes and 388 hhds 13 tierces 71 barrels of St. Lucia were brought for ward, the former all sold at the previous currency—good yellow at 63s 6d, good middling 60s to 625, middling 57s to 59s 6;1, and low 53s 6d to 54s ; the latter was disposed of at and after the sale, but rather under the former cur rency, viz—fine yellow at 645, middling 55s 6d, to 575, low 54s to 555, brown 53s to 53s 6,1, and low 52s per cwt. REFINED.—To-day there was not much business done in the Refined Sugar market ; standard lumps are 73s to 73s 6d, and brown lumps 72s to 72s 6d per cwt. An increased desire was shown to purchase Bonded Crushed, and a further advance occurred in the value ; there are not further sellers under 31s per cwt. MACRITICS.—The market having been much better supplied, has produced a decline in prices of 2s to 3s for good and tine yellow, Is to Is 6d per cwt for inferior brown and grey descriptions. At public sale fine yellow at GOs to 63s 6d, good middling and good 56s to 59s Gil, low to middling 52s 6d to 55s 6d, very low heavy 49s Gd, good brown 495, low 425, good to fine grey 56s to 595, low to middling 52s 6d to 555, and washed 43s to 60s per cwt. The principal part consisted of bright yellow of good and fine quality. EAST INDlA.—There has been an excellent demand for Bengal Sugar, and previous rates are maintained fur white and yellow, but brown, of which the supply has principally consisted, must be quoted Is per cwt cheaper.

JAN. 6.—The Commissioners held their first meeting this day, at their office, Lower Gardiner street. Mr. R. O'Carroll, the new Roman Catholic secretary. and Mr. W. P. Mathews, the Protestant secretary, attended. A second meeting of the Commissioners is to be held in the course of the week. MEETING OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS. A special meeting of the Roman Catholic prelates is to be held in this city on the 22d instant. One of the objects of the meeting, it is said, is to consider the pre. sent state of the public mind, not only in reference to the Charitable Bequests Act, but also in regard to the statements put forward in the newspapers respecting a concordat with Rome, and the payment of the Roman Catholic clergy by the State. In the report of the Repeal Association this day, Mr. Smith O'Brien alluded to the excitement produced by the Charitable Bequests Act. This was the first refer ence to the subject at the Conciliation Hall. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The weekly meeting of the Association was held this day in the Conciliation Hall.' Counsellor Mullen in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said, he trusted that the same spirit, energy, and determination which had actuated the people of Ireland during the two past years would continue to animate them in the presf-nt. It was to the Association they were indebted for the defeat of Lord Stanley's Registration Bill, and it had likewise been the means of preventing bad legislation for the two past years, and he trusted it would also be the means of extending good measures during the ensuing session of Parliament, and although these measures might fall far short of the great object for which they were contending, yet he would accept them without prejudice to the opinions which he entertained. The SECRETARY commenced the business of the day by reading the following letter from Mr. O'Connell, enclosing 511., the amount of his own subscriptions and those of the immediate members of his family for the year 1845: " Darrynane Abbey, Jan. 3, 1845. "My dear Ray,—l have been so employed, whilst within doors, on the Charitable Bequests Bill and its pernicious accompaniments, that I am totally unable to send the address to the Irish people. You shall, I trust, have it for the next day of meeting, " In the meantime I enclose you 511. for my family subscription to the repeal rent for 1845, thus:—Daniel O'Connell, M.P., 51. ; Maurice O'Connell, M.P., 5L ; John O'Connell, M.P., 5/. ; Daniel O'Connell, jun., 51. ; for Morgan O'Connell, Esq., 1/. ; Mrs. O'Connell Fitz simon, 11. ; Miss O'Connell Fitzsimon, 11. ; Eily O'Con nell Fitzsimon, IL ; Kate O'Connell Fitzsimon, 11. ; Christopher O'Connell Fitzsimon, 1/. ; Thom-18 O'Con nell Fitzsimon, II ; Henry O'Connell Fitzsimon. 1/ ; Maurice O'Connell Fitzsimon, 11. ; Daniel O'Connell (Maurice), I/. ; John O'Connell, jun., IL ; Fanny O'Con nell, IL; Mary O'Connell, IL ; Mrs. O'Connell, Aghadda, IL; Mary O'Connell (Charles), Il.; Teresa O'Connell, Il.; Kate O'Connell, IL; Daniel O'Connell, 1L; Mrs. French, IL; Daniel O'Connell French, 1L; Christopher O'Connell French, 1L ; Nicholas O'Connell French, 11. ; Harriett O'Connell French.

Total, 51/. " I will be in Dublin to rally for the repeal as speedily as I can tear myself from this delightful spot. " Give, or renew, my notice for Monday week of a motion to make such arrangements during the next ses sion of Parliament as may preclude the necessity of the repeal Members attending in London. I have a strong impression that the repeal cause—the only thing in which the Irish people have a real interest—can be best managed and promoted in Ireland.—Believe me to be, very faithfully yours, " DANIEL O'CONNELL. " T. M. Ray, Esq." On the motion of Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN, seconded by J. P. Sosianis, M.P., the letter was inserted on the minutes. The SECRETARY read a letter from Mr. Steele, dated Fenagh, county Leitrim, announcing the success of his mission, and stating that tranquillity had been com pletely restored in the disturbed - districts. *Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN handed in the renewed subscrip tions of Sir Simon Bradstreet, Bart., and several gen tlemen. Mr. J. M'NEVIN brought forward a number of re ports, amongst them one on the army estimates, and having moved their adoption, proceeded to address the meeting. On concluding, the Learned Gentleman was loudly cheered. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN having seconded the adoption of the reports, and moved the thanks of the Association t► Mr. Davis, by whom they were prepared, proceeded to address the meeting. After a few prefatory observa tions, the Hon. Gentleman said, that after the most ma ture consideration, he had arrived at the conclusion that his services were of more utility to his country in the Conciliation Hall than in the chapel of St. Stephen. He had the approval of his conscience and his constitu tion for arriving at that determination. The Cork Ex aminer, one of the ablest supporters of repeal, had ad vocated the policy of sending repeal Members to Par liament. He differed entirely from that journal. They. might as well end. avour to persuade the wolf to 'relin quish his prey, as induce the people of England to grant a repeal of the union. Had not their grievances been pressed upon the attention of the Legislature and Eng • land generally till they had almost become a bye-word ? Redress was only to be achieved through their own ex ertions. They should act on the public mind, and en deavour by every means possible to win over that por tion of their countrymen who stood apart from them, and when that desirable object should be obtained they would be in a position to demand and enforce the resti tution of their Legislature. It was wrong to attribute the non-attendance of the repeal Members to their Parlia mentary duties to idleness ; for his part, wherever he was his entire time was devoted to the public service. The English newspapers were congratulating each other on the decline of the repeal cause, but he could tell them that he was not acquainted with a man who was a re pealer in 1843 or 1844 who was not a repealer at that moment. Their policy was uniform—their opinions unanimous. It had been stated that Mr. O'Connell had lost his influence—that he was no longer able to direct the power he had raised up-;-but he could inform the people of England that he was still the acknow ledged and recognised leader of his countrymen, and he was confident that nothing could ever occur to inter rupt the harmony which existed between them. An en deavour had been made to create disunion amongst the people of Ireland, and certainly if the British Minister meditated such to be the result of his Bequests Act, he could not have gone a better way about creating such a result. But he told that Minister he would be disap pointed. The prelates who had accepted office under that Act, had declared the measure as being deficient in many resp. , cts, and he was sure that unless these defects were remedied, they would refuse to assist in carrying out a Bill which was so obnoxious to the country at large. The decline of the repeal rent had also furnished their friends on the other side with a subject of gratula tion, but he trusted that the people of Ireland would contradict that assertion, by systemising that taxation— a self-imposed taxation, which should continue till the union was repealed. The people should supply them with the means, he was going to say, of carrying on the government of the country, but he would not expose himself' to an indictment of 36 yards length, and he would say, all the operations incidental to the carrying on of the agitation. After some further observations, the lion. Gentleman resumed his seat amidst loud cheers. Mr. O'HEa (barrister) moved that the Committee of the Association should be directed to prepare a general view of the proceedings of the Association for the past year. The Learned Gentleman then commented at some length on the various political phases through which the poople of Ireland had passed during the last forty-five years, and detailed the several constitutional triumphs they had achieved, and concluded an eloquent address amidst general applause. After the dispatch of some routine business, Mr. Smith O'Brien announced the rent for the week to be 243/. 15s. ld.—The meeting then adjourned. VICE-REGAL COURT.—The Lord Lieutenant enter tained the following party at dinner on Saturday, at the Vice-regal Lodge :—Hon.Miss A'Court, Lord Eliot, Lady Jemima Eliot, the Primate, the Archbishop of Dublin, Marquis of Waterford, Marquis of Headfort, Earl of Meath, Earl of Roden, Earl of Charlemont, Earl of Lei trim, Earl of Donoughinore, Earl of Miltown, Earl of Wicklow, Earl of Bosse, the Dean of St. Patrick's, Sir William Betham, Sir William Leeson, Colonel Bowles, Mr. A'Court; Lord Francis Gordon, and Mr. Daly, Aides. de-(amp in Waiting.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AND L OSS OF T vg KNOCKMAROON.—A most appalling accident, attend with the loss of the lives of four children, took plan e j e l Saturday evening, about four o'clock, at the little 11 0 4 of Knockmaroon, which lies contiguou s t o the sontb e l and western boundary wall of the Ph cen i x Park, l l l3 4 the low road to the Strawberry Beds and Lucile+ , i 0 The Commissioners of Woods and Forests, in the '-• extensive and valuable improvements in the pb Park, constructed a new road at the back of tkei n „,. °l li Hibernian Military S c h oo l, th roug h w h at is filow--„,o, known as the Furry Glen, about midway from tb e A ; the mit level of the ground to that of the va ll ey along"-dfolk River Liffey. The place was so r om a nt i cally b u in its aspect that it was resolved to add to its aPP ear .. 1. ance by forming the upper part of the glen into as ficial lake, nature having provided for a supply of v in o by a rivulet which ran along, emptying itself into 4o Liffey, and formed the boundary between the parP•o of Chapelizod and Castleknack. The usual precau ti o for permitting the overflow of the lake to pass awl rid provided for by means of a sewer. The boundary 0 00 the park was at the bottom of the glen, and about 0 yards from it were the houses, the inmates of Which victims. It would appear that the masonry work ofdi sewer gave way, and the great body of water epeeol filled the lower glen, as it is stated to the height of. or eight feet, the opening in the wall being quite in s° 4 cient to let off the rush of water; its weight soon Ito down about twenty or thirty feet of the wall, 110 fed overwhelming flood swept into the houses, and in 6,-60 WI minutes, before any human help could be afforded, ' l4 children, and a cow, the chief support of one poor were drowned.
