They are generally of the same character as the previous reports. We select the following, from the Galway Vindicator, on account of the interference of the magistrates, and the very peaceable conduct of the people in the wild districts of Connemara:— " CLUDEN.—A large quantity of turf was collected from all quarters. The hulls of two large boats were destined to commemorate the occasion—they formed part of a really monster bonfire upon the hill above the church, which was visible beyond the Killery mountains. Mr. D'Arcy, of Clifden Castle, as also Mr. S. Jones, R.M., interfered to disperse the people. The people quietly withdrew, but had their homes brilliantly illu minated. Here, too, Messrs. D'Arcy and Jones thought to interfere ; but the people told them that in obedience to O'Connell's wishes they yielded to the magistrates orders abroad ; their houses, however, were their own, and if either Mr. Jones or Mr. D'Arcy attempted to in termeddle further with them, representations would be made to Government for their dismissal, as their illegal conduct was calculated to lead to a breach of the peace." The following remarkable case occurred at the Tulla • mere (King's county) Petty sessions, on Saturday last. The report is taken from the Freeman's Journal of this day. This is the only instance where the people had been summoned fur an alleged breach of the law, in connection with the rejoicings for the liberation of Mr. O'Connell ; and, as will be perceived, the magis trate who prosecuted them has been censured, and the conduct of the peasantry has been lauded as most or derly and becoming : " TULLIMORE, SEPT. 14.—This town and neighbour hood was in a state of the greatest excitement, to watch the result of the proceedings instituted by the stipen diary magistrate, Neale Brown, Esq., and the sub-in spector of police, Mr. Stewart, against the people of this town, for lighting a bonfire on the night of Friday, the 6th instant, upon the occasion of the liberation of Mr. O'Connell and his fellow-prisoners. Mr. Brown and Mr. Ste.% art (two gentlemen who figured as Crown wit nesses on the State trials), not content with scattering the bonfire on the night in question, had also issued summonses against several persons who had taken a part in lighting the bonfire. The people of the whole town and surrounding district were in a state of the greatest exasperation that their bonfire on this occasion should be interrupted, while on every other occasion their bon fires had been passed by without any interruption. The re sult of this was, that the entire population of the town and neighbourhood thronged the court-house to-day, to such an extent, that the magistrates had to adjourn from the usual place of holding petty sessions to the County Court, which in a moment was filled to suffocation. After some time had elapsed, " Mr. °llea, as counsel for some persons who had been summoned for assisting in making a bonfire on the night of Friday, the 6th instant, begged the magistrates would proceed to hear the cases. " Upon this John O'Brien, Esq., of-Mountjoy-square, took the chair ; the other other magistrates present being Mr. Molloy, Sir Andrew Armstrong, (Members for the county), and Mr. Neale Brown, stipendiary. " The case of James Ilea, head-constable, against Thomas Mitchell, was then called on, and Mr. O'Hea said that as several parties were summoned for the same offence, that this case would rule the others. " Head-constable James Hea was then examined—He said he accompanied Mr. Brown and Mr. Stewart to a bonfire in Charleville-square, on the evening of the 6th. Saw Thomas Mitchell there. He was fixing turf about the fire. Witness told him to desist. He desisted in about a minute. The fire was lighting at the time. He asked Mitchell his name. He told it to him. " Cross-examined by Mr. O'Hea—There was no riot at the time—no tumult—no appearance of either. Mit chell made nu resistance. Gave him no blow. Did not lay hands upon witness. Used no violence to him. De- sisted in the space of one minute. Made use of no in sulting language. Did no injury to the person or pro perty of any individual under Heaven on that occasion. The police scattered the fire. They acted under the orders of Mr. Brown. Never interfered with any other bonfire but this. "'The Bench consulted for two or three minutes, and then the Chairman, Mr. O'Brien, delivered the judgment —'That the case should be dismissed, as the magistrates were of opinion that the bonfire not being held on a pub lic road, it was no offence under the Act upon which the prosecution was based. But he could not refrain from saying that the conduct of the accused was very proper and becoming, in desisting so soon as he did. He was also bound to say that, in his opinion it was a most un fortunate occurrence that the stipendiary magistrate and the sub-inspector of police had thought proper to inter fere in the manner they had done. " The vast concourse of people then separated, highly delighted and exulting, satisfied that, while they conduct themselves peaceably and legally, the law can no longer be outraged in their persons." THE REPEAL RENT—STATE PROSECUTIONS. DUBLIN, Serer. 15.—The expenses of the traversers in the State prosecutions were enormous. Every pos sible obstacle had been east in the way of the defendants, and the Crown prosecutors exacted every expensive for mality which they were empowered to enforce, all through that protracted and gigantic litigation, from the very first step to the ultimate reversal of the judg ment. No private purse could have sustained the de fence against a prosecution under such circumstances, and most fortunate it was that the Repeal Association had been provided with ample funds to fight the consti tutional battle against the Government, with the public treasury at its back. The repeal funds have been found much more than equal to the expenditure caused by the State prosecutions. A large sum, nearly 20,0001., is likely to remain to the credit of the Repeal Association, after all the expenses shall have been defrayed. MR. O'CONNELL'S VISIT TO DERRYNANE. Mr. O'Connell intends to leave here on Tuesday week for Derrynane Abbey, and several provincial dinners are to be postponed until his return. Two CLERGYMEN DROWNED AT ROME.—A melan choly event occurred at Rome on the 28th ult. ; two ec clesiastics, students of the Irish Franciscan College in that city, were unhappily drowned whilst bathing in the Tyber. One of the deceased, the Rev. E. F. Martin, was in priest's orders, and had celebrated the holy sa• crifice the morning of his untimely and lamented death. His companion, the Rev. Richard Ambrose Kavanagh was ordained sub-deacon on the previous Sunday. The former was an excellent swimmer, but Mr. Kavanagh could not swim, and it is conjectured that one was drowned in the endeavour to save the other. Both gen tlemen were natives of Ireland, and much endeared, for their piety and talents, to the superiors and fellow-stu dents of their college. —Cork Reporter. THEATRE ROYAL LYCEUM.

We were much pleased the other day on visiting the cemetery at Nunhead, be'zween Peckham and New Cross, Deptfora ' to observe the progress making in the erection of the neat, but elegant and at tractive, chapels for the use of this spacious sepulchre, and which do much credit to the talents of the archi tect, and will form prominent features in that neigh bourhood. In go:rig over the grounds we were struck with several very chaste monuments, rnd especially the one recently erected to the memory of the lote Mr. Figgins, the extensive type-founder, and who, for many years, we believe, took an active part in the proceedings of the Corporation of London, as one of the members of the Court of Common Council. We hope in the ensuing session of Parliament at tention will be given to this important subject, and effectually prevent the unwholesome practice of burying in churches and churchyards in the 'very heart of our densely-populated Metropolis. SECOND EDITION. ciety on the most comprehensive scale, and any more restricted or exclusive one is clearly superfluous. But let us suppose this Irish, House of Lords established and in full operation:l Well, what then? Will it, though no minally so, be really and truly independent of the more popular Repeal Association ? Will it be able to control the movements of that body, and exercise a superiior authority over it ? Undoubtedly not. The first; time the Preservative Society, presuming to think, honestly for itself, comes into direct, serious collision with the Association, it will be cashiered at once— scattered to the four winds of Heaven. But this it will never do, and, for the best of all possible reasons namely, that its sagacious originator clearly intends that it shuould be nothing more than tho creatures of his own sovereign will—a sort of multiplication of himself! "I am France!" said NAPOLEON. "I am the Preservative Society!" may Mr. O'CONNELL say, with equal truth, when once this confederacy is em bodied ox.d fairly set a-going. Among the daily evidences of increasing attention to the ti! , ae elements of social improvement, we are most plevssed to watch the awakened attention of the public to the advantages of railroads. These high ways of -civilization, as we may really term them, are multipl Ting in every direction where, at two extreme points, .or at intermediate positions between them, there a ce manufacturing, or agricultural, or commer cial capabilities to be developed, combined, and ex tended. All the improvements of the mechanical as well as the elegant arts—all the discoveries of practical science in every department of human knowledge—may be expected to multiply in importance, to be facilitated and varied in their aplp lication, in the same ratio in which railroads open up,, or connect, new theatres for their develop. ment. And that these vast public works, by econo mising-- to an extent which, twenty years ago, was inconceivable to the minds of the most sanguine pro- jectors--;the proportions of time within which given distance s may be traversed with perfect ease and safety *by the traveller, in common with the cor respond ence, and the traffic, goods, cattle, commodi ties, and. the varied productions of whole districts of country--that these works do, by such means, ex pedite the : work of civilization, is an incontestable fact. They area the lines over which intellectual enlighten ment, sin d philosophical observation, may be said to overts.ke the halting progress of prejudice and error ; ar id classes of the community from the most distant •corners of the empire are brought in a few hours irrto intimate communion together, which would have re triained, but for this noble application of steam to locor votive power, as segregated from one another, and ea( It as ignorant of, and as little sympathising with, Vac. wants or the wishes, the prosperity or the privatiem s, the feelings or the functions of the other, as their -fathers or their forefather had been for cen turies before them. The fatal prepossession that it is the bus mess of each class, and of each member of a class, t , a attend with exclusive selfishness to their own concert arnents, is fast disappearing before the convic tion w'aich railway intercourse is every day diffusing among the various sections of our entire community, that, in. the advancement of the common prosperity, consist; the best guarantee for the improvement of p rivate interests. In this principle there is no novelty. There is nothing in so self-evident a propos'Ltion which may not have suggested itself to every :re fleeting mind, that has been turned to this subject, a hundred times before. But we may be excused for doubting whether its true meaning, and the beasiness of giving to it, each man in his own sphere and with his own energies, practical effect and application, were ever one half so strongly impressed as they have been by the experiences resulting from railway travelling. In our advertising columns we have published an abstracted prospectus of a new projected railway in Irelanei„ to be called the " Great Western Railway from Dublin to Mullingar and Athlone." The scheme appears to be ushered into public notice under the most respectable and influential auspices ; and from the statements comprised in the advertisement, it would appear that the expense of construction will not ex ceed t'ne moderate charge of 11,0001. per mile. The line of country is one, undoubtedly, of singular im portance, and well adapted for the laying down of such a, line of communication ; to which, the circum stance of its extreme termini being at the one side the metropolis of the kingdom, and at the other one of its most central and commanding towns, must, we should apprehend, impart very considerable importance. It is true., indeed, that the whole line is to be but sixty eight miles in length, and the contemplated capital is not imposed at a higher figure than 750,0001. But if it be, thus, a railroad not projected on the monster scale of its astonishing namesake in this country, or of the vast London and Birmingham line, it by no means therefore follows that it may not Fee fraught with ultimate advan tages to Ireland not less signal than any which have yet ensued from those gigantic undertakings to the Eng lish public at large. We speak on this occasion quite irrespectively of the magnificent profits which the one last named has returned to those who stand in the positieen of original speculators in, or subscribers to, it. There are other—and obvious lights—in which the expansion of such a system of intercommunica tion must be regarded in Ireland. It will act, in that distracted kingdom, for the most pacific as well as the most politic of purposes. It will, in a few years, eitablish the 'empire of regulated industry and trading entezprise over the irregular and tumul tuous effees of a needy and excited people. In the in.itux of business, capital, and employment, which are the inevitable concomitants of railways, that suffering people will find more wholesome objects of solicitude, a snore legitimate exercise of their great powers of application and endurance, a more per manent market for their labour, a wider and a better scale of wages, and a greater and easier command of the necessaries and conveniences of life, than the illusory boon of a repeal of the union can ever really afford them. Let us be understood to say this in no other spirit but that of fairness to them, and of con viction on our own parts. We do not mean to dis parage for one moment the zeal, the talent, or the de votion, of so many who have conscientiously and en thusiastically advocated that repeal, any more than we mean to retract our own objections to a plan for dismembering the integrity of the empire. But if the Irish people shall ever be brought to sum up the amount of all the value they have realised from the agitation of the repeal question, and to contract the amount of civil as well as political improvement which the champions of that question have promised them, in the event of its success, with the certain benefits—social, civil, and political, public and individual—which would flow from the execution of an extensive and well-admi nistered plan of railway communication throughout ' the length and breadth of their beautiful island, we are certain that they would see in the completion of these works the only certain and practical remedy for those evils of misgoverment, and of misunderstood or neglected interests, on which they found their de mand for the, dissolution of their political union with Great Britai4.,' Eiiglish capit4 of course, would be cherinafr!tAource f:(liii . which the ._ . necessary in e 4 ~,''t , ould AieOdvanced ; but the Irish midi! ` ^ far: l "; ,' grazier labourers, and tradesmen, he m y anu -: 'reciii aira agriculturists, 'would be thokv*lin' • 4:1 . 4; be*fi nd ultimately, classes mOst:,be4 ; I : .

The "rail road" would prove the true " pacificator"—its well filled trains the true "halls of conciliation." The same physical powers whose magical operation would virtually approximate the south to the north, would rapidly produce the moral union of the Protestant and the Roman Catholic population; and cement an imperishable alliance between the men of Ulster with the men of Munster; of the people of Leinster with the races of Connaught; and of the whole Irish nation with their brethren of Great Britain. • THE WEATHER.—Stai OFFICE, SEPT. 18.

M. MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA had not yet declared whe ther or not he would accept the office of Minister for Foreign Affairs, which had been offered him by the QUEEN, and it was thought he seemed but little disposed to join an Administration headed by so violent a man as General NARVAEZ. The retrograde policy pursued by CHRISTINA and NARYAEZ is producing its natural results, and the Carlists are now become so influential as a party that they have bees enabled to return DO less than forty Deputies to the Cortes. This is cne of the effects of CHRISTINA'S endeavours to curry favour with the priests, who are Carlists to a man. It would seem that the Government is becoming seriously alarmed at the growing influence of the Carlist party. The elections at Barcelona passed off quietly. NARVAEZ, who was at the head of the poll, only got 900 votes. The Progresistas took no part whatever, and have abstained throughout Spain from taking any part in the elections. fere in the case. Ile thought that the property could only be recovered by an action of trover.

Clarke, was placed before Mr. Jardine, charged on suspicion of stealing six house rugs of the value of 30s. From the evidence it appeared that a day or two ago the fan-light over the door of Mr. Pugh's shop in Great Queen-street was broken by some person. This morn ing, about half-past three o l clock, police-constable, F 156, was on duty in Great Queen-street when he saw the prisoner, and heard him call out in a subdued tone of voice, " Come on." The officer took no notice of the prisoner then, but went up to Mr. Pugh's shop-door and discotered that some one had recently been there, for on the handle of the door was some mud as though some person had lately stood upon it. The officer returned to the spot where the prisoner ha(' been standing and in a door way he saw the rugs produced. The prisoner again came up to the spot and asked the officer what time it was, and ho was immediately taken into custody. One of Mr. Pugh's shopmen stated that the rugs pro duced belonged to Mr. Pugh, and were in his shop last evening. They must have been drawn out of the fan light one by one. They must have been drawn out with some instrument. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. On that morning, at eight o'clock, the guns of the " In valides" fired a salute in celebration of the conclusion of peace between the King of the FRENCH and the Emperor of Morocco. The conclusion of the peace is the subject of comment in all the Parisian journals. The Ministerial organs comment on it in a tone of the highest exultation. The Globe says : "; This grave affair of Morocco is nobly terminated. The Emperor Muley Abderrlaaman has yielded to what lie saw before him ; he has comprehended the magnani mity of France, after having experienced her power. We consider it superfluous to dwell on the consequences of thi:t important event ; all men of sense understand them. A glorious peace, with all its consequences ; Algeria fre,!ci from annoyance; the impulse of great public works confirmed ; France employed more than ever in further ing the happiness of her populations ; parties disap pointed in their hopes of disorder ; a great epoch the more for the King's reign—such are the contents of the dispatch which vt e lay before our readers." The Journal des Debats is even more triumphant in its tone. Not so, however, the Opposition prints. They only see in the conclusion of this peace a fresh instance of the subserviency of Prance to England— they infer that the Emperor of MOROCCO has not " demanded," but only " accepted " a peace which was tendered to him, and express their fears that the island of Mogadore has been evacuated without suffi cient security having been taken to ensure the expul sion Of ABD-EL-KADER. " It will be necessary," says the Constitutionnel, " to ascertain if Mr. BULWEII has not been the medi ator in all this affair ; and if this pretended peace without indemnity, without guarantee, has not been brought to us all prepared, and imposed as the plan of the campaign had been." The National is indignant at the terms granted to Morocco, complains that France who gives an in demnity to PRITCUARD, does not ask the smallest coin from the Emperor of Moßoccoi THE BOURSE-MONDAY, SEPT. 16.

The hole in the fan-light was about ten inches in size. The doorway in which the rugs were found was next door to Mr. Pugh's shop, and the rugs must have been thrown down as they were taken out of the fan-light. The prisoner said he knew nothing about the robbery. He was merely passing along Great Queen-street on his road home. _ _ -- - RAILWAY SHARES.

Mr. JARDINE said the case was one of considerable suspicion, and he should be inclined to remand the pri soner if he thought there was any probability of getting any further evidence. The case, however, was of such a nature as to render it almost impossible to get further evidence, and therefore he should discharge the pri soner upon his undertaking to appear again if he should be called upon.—lle was then discharged. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. Daniel Byrne, a miniature painter, residing in Duke -street, Museum-street, was charged with annoying Mr. Stimton, a gentleman residing in the same street. It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor, under the influence of liquor, went to the door of the complainant's house at an early hour on the previous morning, and knocked at it violently. When Mr. Stamton, who was aroused from his bed, went to the window and remonstrated with him, the prisoner con tinued knocking at the door and using bad language, until given into custody. The prisoner said he formerly lodged in Mr. Stamton's house, but could not account for his conduct. The MAGISTRATE said he would fine the prisoner ten shillings, or a week's imprisonment. The fine was paid. We regret to have to announce, from intelligence which has reached us from a high quarter, that a se rious aggression has been committed on her Majesty's steamer Vesuvius. This vessel, on nearing Mogadore, was fired upon by the only battery left them, which is in possession of the Moors ; and being unable to effect a landing, made for Rabat, where it experienced a similar reception. The cause of such an outrage on the part of the Maroquin authorities has not tran spired.—Morning Advertiser. CITY OF LONDON REGISTRY. (THIS DAY.) The revision commenced this morning with the Dis tillers' Company. William Marsden, a member of the Livery, was ob jected to by Mr. Quin, the Conservative agent, on the ground of having been dead some time. Mr. Marsden, who was at that moment sitting behind hiat in Court, rose, and amidst roars of laughter assured the Learned Barrister that he was quite as well, and as likely to live as long, as Mr. Quin himself. The REVISING BARRISTER considered that proper in quiries had not been made ; and on the application of Mr. Maunders, awarded costs. The next name on the list was that of Mr. George Racine, who was objected to by Mr. Wansey, the Liberal agent, on the ground of non-residence. Mr. Racine proved he had occupied the house he now resided in for seven years. Mr. Wansey having admitted that he had been misin formed with respect to this objection, the Court also awarded costs. A number of other freemen were also objected to on the plea of non-residence, death, &c., for which there appeared no just grounds, by both sides. The Revising Barrister awarded costs in all cases. The vote of another claimant was sought to be set aside on the ground of his holding a Post-office appointment. It was contended, on the part of the applicant, that this ap pointment could not justify his name being struck off the Livery, although it might disqualify him at the time of election. He would not, it was true, vote while he held the office, but then before the next election he might either resign or have lost his appointment. The applicant's name was retained upon the Livery lists. Up to our going to press the ;evision had proceeded as far as the Girdlers' Company. EAST INDIA HOUSE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF PROPRIETORS. A Special General Court of Proprietors of Stock in this Corporation was held at the India House this morning, for the purpose of adopting a resolution agreed to by the Court of Directors, granting an annuity of 1,0001. a year to Major-General Sir William Nott, G.C.8., for his services in the East Indies. The chair was taken, soon after twelve o'clock, by Captain Sheppard. The Court was not fully attended. The minutes of the last Court were read. The CHAIRMAM announced that it was specially sum moned to consider a resolution passed on the 18th inst. by the Court of Directors, which would be read. It was as follows : " That the Chairman having called the attention of the Court to the recent arrival in this country, in a bad state of health, of Major-General Sir William Nott, G.C.8., and adverting to the services of that distin guished officer,—Resolved, " That, as a special mark of their approbation of the foresight, decision, judgment, and courage, displayed by him, when he commanded at Candahar, and on the march to Cabul, " That an annuity of 1,0001. be granted to Major- General Sir William Nott, to commence from the day when he left India, subject to the approbation of the Court of Propietors." • The CHAIRMAN enumerated the many eminent ser vices of Sir William Nott, from the year 1800, when he entered the Company's service, down to the brilliant affair—tile last of this gallant officer's operations. The resolution was carried by acclamation, and the Court adjourned. DONCASTER RACES. DONCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, 8 O'CLOCK. MONE Y AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

Shortly after, Lord Stanley, who had been to Pigburn, and had found his horse dead lame, entered the room, and declared that he would not start. A notice to that effect was posted in the room, dated half-past six o'clock. The meeting after dinner was as numerous as we ever saw on the eve of the St. Leger. The room was thronged until long after midnight; and business, by fits and starts, was tolerably animated. Large sums were laid out on The Cure at evens, and it became a very nice thing be tween him and the field, several unaccepted offershaving been made at one part of the room to go on, while, at the same moment, 1,200 to 1,000, 600 to 500, 500 to 400, and other bets at the same rate, were being laid on the field, we are disposed to think that on the average of the betting the field always had the call. Red Deer was backed at 5 to 1, and The Princess at the same odds and 11 to 2 ; Foig-a-ballagh closed at 5 to 1 ; 6 to 1 in hundreds was laid agst him, about ten o'clock, by Mr. Collett, with the owner, and the bet was followed, first by an opinion anything but compli mentary to the horse's fitness to run; and afterwards, by an offer to match Corranna against him for five hundred or a thousand, to run the St. Leger Course on Friday, Corranna to give two stone ; and further, if Mr. Irwin would give him fifty pounds, he stands to the offer until the following night. After a little sparring, a pony was given, and the match, should Mr. Irwin " remain in the vein," will be closed this evening. Mr. C. also took from the owner 100 to 10 that Foig-a-ballagh would be " absolutely " last, and laid 50 even that he would be beaten four length. The following were the general prices at midnight:— Even between the field and The Cure, field for choice. 5 to 1 agst Red Deer 5 to 1 agst Foig-a-ballagh 11 to 2 agst Princess—taken 15 to 1 agst Lightning 20 to 1 agst Bay Momus 1000 to 10 agst Little Hampton.

We are informed by our reporter, that by the disgraceful carelessness of the mail coach and rail road proprietors, two of his parcels have been de tained. The first, dispatched from Doncaster on Saturday, containing the entries, arrivals, &c., for publication onMonday, was booked at the Masborough station per mail train, and should have been delivered on Sunday morning, but did not come to hand till Monday!; and a second, with an account of Monday's races, for our " Second Edition," was put in the post at Rotherham by the mail coachman. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) DONCASTER, TUESDAY EVENING. If evidence were required of the prosperous state of the Turf at the present moment, it was supplied this day in the immensity of the throng congregated to witness the struggle for the greatest of the north country races—a race made more exciting to the sporting community, and more interesting to the public, by the extraordinary fluctuations that have marked the progress of the betting. The stands were crammed, and the course, malgre the gloomy appearance of the sky -and an occasional shower, crowded in all directions. The display of beauty and fashion, if less imposing than at Doncaster in the " olden time," was more than respectable, and the general attendance larger than we have seen in this locality for three or ibur years.

PVGDlASM.—Yesterday the fight between Smith (the Cheltenham Youth) and Welsh (of London) came off a short distance below Grave end, in the presence of a great number of persons. These representatives of the light weights were matched for 20/ aside. A steamer engaged for this event left London for the locality ap pointed for the contest, conveying the combatants and parties interested, and, having arrived, a sing was formed, and the men introduced. Smith was attended by Stocks, and Welsh was seconded by Turner. In betting, 5 and 6 to 4 were laid on Smith. The men hav ing prepared, war was commenced, and Smith, with some dexterity, planted a severe blow on the frontispiece of his opponent, a compliment which he readqv returned. At the fifth round it was quite apparent Welsh was superior in science and strength, while his adversary displayed great courage. Matters went on for forty minutes, at which time Welsh and his party appeared certain of success, while Smith and his friends thought a " battle was ne'er won ti!l it was lost;" end they con tinued contending for victory for fifty-nine minutes, when Welsh was declared the winner. 'The fight which was pending between Hayes and Goff, and announced to come off in the same i;ng as the above, did not take place. ATTEMPTED ASCENTS OF MONT BL A NC.—M M. Bravais end Martins have been for some time engaged in attempts to ascend Mont Blanc, but without success. After spending the intervening time in collecting a series of meteorological and geological observations in the Alpine country which surrounds the mount: , :n, the ascent was happily effected on the 29th ult. The tra vellers found their tent on the Grand Plateau unin jured, and formed the design of passing a night each on the summit of the mountain, while their companions (M. Lepileur being now added to the number) encamped in the tent. But the intense cold defeated this part of their project. The thermometer stood at 7 4-10 degrees below zero, in the shade, at a quarter past two o'clock in the day, and the ascent was most painful, notwith standing the fineness of the weather. At a short dis tance from the summit they were assailed by a piercing wind, and the cold which it brought was so intense, that they describe their sensations on attaining the summit, when they had in some measure escaped its severity, as being that of men who had entered a well-warmed saloon, -....

As there is no other Company in the field, no diffiultics can arise, and the railroad to Am'ens, we say, will be open to the public in July, 1846, if not early in the sprirg of that year. Thus closes all that long catalogue of falsehood, misrepre sentation, jealousy, and hate, which has marked the conduct of our neighbours in this affair, and which, so lately d a s last week, exemplified itself most sillily in distributi ng through the City and on 'Change, in London, the most absurd attacks and tales against the lines, th e expense of construction, and the little interest it would produce. How mean and little is such conduct, and how it must annoy the parties to find it not only useless, b u t really beneficial, to what it would destroy ! Such inevitably is the result of blind passion, and the parties are laughed at and pitied for their weakness. What a moral triumph also is it to M. Adam and all those whom the enemies of the town have abused and vilified! How gratified must they feel in having continued the even tenor of their way, conscious of the innate righteousness of their cause and the conviction of its ultimate success, an d thus see all their labours crowned by the perfect ac complishment of their wishes. May they li ve long to witness the effect upon the prosperity of the town. —Boulogne Gazette. TOl3 MAILS.—SOUTHAMPT" SEPT. 17. — The Royal West India mail packet, the Medway, left the river this day at 3 o'clock for St. Thomas's, &c., taking out the West India and Madeira mails, with 23 passengers. The Oriental Packet, Captain Soy, arrived at 3 o'clock in the docks from the Alotherbank, where she has been performing quarantine sinco Sunday last, and landed her passengers, 90 in number ; she is also unloading a large cargo of silks. The Gibraltar packet Montrose has brought from Vigo a quantity of Spanish oxen in excel lent condition. The West India mail packet, the Tay, which arrived here on Sunday, has gone round to Lon- . _. don to repair. The 1-1 , , ..

At the last weekly meeting of the Repeal Asso ciation, Mr. O'CosTNELL—as appears by a report in a morning Contemporary—took The Sun gravely to task, for recommending that he should for a time abstain from agitation. With all due deference to his better judgment, we still persist in that recommenda tion, and we think we can perceive indications, even in the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's own speech, that he will not lose sight of it. For we hear of no more monster meetings—no more proposals for simul taneous gatherings—no more ardent appeals to the Passions and prejudices of the people ; there are merely to be al few Repeal dinners given—quite as a matter of course—in honour of the Liberator's escape from the stringent embraces of the Richmond Peni tentiary ; and then he will, no doubt, close the cam paign for the season, and set out for his mountain home at Derrynane. As for the projected scheme of the Preservative Society, this is a matter quite in embryo as yet ; it may, or it may not, be carried into execution ; but, at any rate, it will require no inconsiderable time for its full development. Long before it can he matured and brought into active operation, Sir ROBERT PEEL will have explained to his " faithful Commons " the nature of his Irish remedial measures ; and we conceive, therefore, that we are justified in our belief that for some months to come, the agitation for Re peal will be carried on in a languid and decorous spirit, to be revived, however, in all its original in tensity, should the Premier's plans be such as to dis appoint the just hopes of the sister country. A word here, as respects Mr. O'CONNELL'S new project of the Preservative Society. his object in originating this aristocratic confederacy is of course that it may act as a check on the unruly passions of the masses, and control their movements, should they be too rapid, or made in a wrong direc tion. This is no mere notion of our own, for the Hon. and Learned Gentleman himself avows that he intends his new Society to act as a sort of House of Lords —that is to say, as a curb on the blind, head strong impetuosity of the people. Yet, strange to say, this same people—whose feelings, he thinks, now re quire rather a curb than a stimulus—are the same whose patience, subordination, docility and exemplary forbearance he has been daily praising for the last two years and upwards ! Not less than forty-five monster meetings, he tells us, have been held, yet not a crime has been committed—not the slightest symptom of a wish to break the public peace exhibited! Surely there is some little inconsistency here ! What need can a people, thus patient, orderly, and strictly ame nable to discipline, have of a Preservative Society ? They constitute in themselves a Preservative So. THIS DAY'S NEWS. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner EVANS.) IN THE MATTER OF MARY SWEETLAND. The solicitor for the assignees in this case made an application under the following circumstances :—Tho bankrupt's husband, who had carried on the trade of a baker in St. John-street, Fitzroy-square, died some two years ago, and by his will he left a life-interest in his property to his wife, and nominated her and another as joint executors to carrying out the provisions of the will. The joint executor allowed the bankrupt to carry on the business, and she incurred a number of new debts to a large amount. Since the bankruptcy the joint executor had filed a bill and obtained an injunction in Chancery, restraining the official assignee from disposing of other than the bankrupt's interest in the property left by her husband's will. On one of the bankrupt's examinations she admitted that she had employed the new debts in liquidating the old claims against her husband, and the assignees therefore desired to be placed to the ex tent of the sum paid, namely, 2,4431., in the stead of the old creditors. Subsequently to that examination, she supplied the assignees with an account, from which it would appear that a deficiency of about 7401. existed from the former balance-sheet, she making the amount now paid only at 1,7001. The assignee, therefore, re quested that the present meeting might be deferred until this matter might be investigated. He had another com plaint to make. The bankrupt produced no vouchers for the money paid, she assigning as a reason for their non-production that the other executor had takem them away. The Learned COMMISSIONER thought that a public meeting should be appointed, when an amended balance sheet might be produced. The Official Assignee begged to suggest the sth of November, and after a brief examination of the bank rupt to prove that certain properties had not been men tioned in the schedule, and a few observations from the solicitor engaged in her behalf, the meeting was appoint ed for that day. CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN and Mr. Justice CRESSWELL took their seats in this Court to-day. THE CASE OF THE HON. WILLIAM ROSS TOUCHETT. William Ross Touchett, immediately on their Lordships taking their seats, was placed at the bar. He was charged with feloniously shooting at Thomas Smith in his shooting gallery, 288, High Holborn, on the 6th of July last. The prisoner is a mild and gentlemanly look ing man, of rather pale complexion, slight stature, and apparently not more than twenty years of age. Mr. CLARKSON, on the prisoner being placed at the bar, applied to the Court for the postponement of the trial until the next session. He made the application upon affidavits which stated that it would be necessary, for the purposes of justice, that Dr. Warburton, who, together with Dr. Munro, had visited the prisoner, should give evidence. That gentleman was now labouring under severe indisposition, and could not attend, as he was con fined to his room at Bath. Mr. CHARNOCK, on behalf of the prosecution, did not object to the application. The case was then postponed till the next session. SHEEP-STEALING.--Daniel Grainge, a sawyer, and Henry Foy, a labourer, who were indicted with sheep stealing, were acquitted. NEW COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) MINT PROSECUTIONS.—The Recorder was occupied during the enti re morn i n g in the trial of persons of uttering count er f e it co i n w ith a guilty knowledge. The following we re conv i c t e d f o r this offence, and sentenced to imprison ment , w ith h ar d labour, in the House of Cor rection :—P or 1 year , Edmund Sp eec hly ; f or 6 months, G. Smith ; for 3 months, W. Caws Q y. Willi a m King, J. Thomas, and Harriet Thomas was indicted for stealing a breast-pin, value 51., from the person of William Grey. It appea re d t h a t t h e p rose cutor was walking near St. Paul's, when he was accosted by the prisoner, who snatched th e pi n f rom hi s b os om. The . prisone r , h av i ng been convicted last year of a similar offence, was sentenced to ten years' transportation. She swore vehemently upon hearing the sentence. GUILDHALL.—(THIS DAY.) This morning Mr. Smith, a surgeon, in Moorgate street, was summoned at the instance of Messrs. Robin son and C o ., p i ano f orte ma kers, in the same street, to show cause why h e s h ou ld not return an instrument, which had b een l ent f or hi re for a period, as they al leged, of six mo n th s . A professional gentleman appeared for the defendant. Mr. Coop er , o f the firm of Robinson and Co., said that the pianoforte in question had been lent for six months, at the hire of a guinea a month, with a proviso that if, at the end of that period, it should be purchased by the defendant, three guineas should be returned. The value of the instrument was fifty guineas. They (Robinson and Co.) had been referred to a Mr. Goold by the de fendant, but that gentleman had, since that reference had been given, himself taken out proceedings against Mr. Smith ; and he had also informed them that Mr. Smith had executed a bill of sale, to some individual, for his household effects. The complainants, under these circumstances, were very naturally anxious as to the safety of their property ; and as the defendant would neither pay the hire nor return the instrument, they were obliged to have recourse to those proceedings. The solicitor for the defence was of opinion that the matter was out of the jurisdiction of the court. If he had been properly instructed, the case, as he would state it, would assume a very different aspect. The hire was, according to Mr. Smith, for twelve months, and not six, as had been stated by Mr. Cooper. Alderman limas questioned how far ho mid inter- MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE —..WEDNESDAY The supply of English Wheat, the time of year con sidered, was good; owing t.) which, and the thin attend ance of buyers, the demand was inactive, yet prices were supported. In Foreign Wheat a fair amount of business was done, and Monday's quotations were freely paid. In Barley and Malt, the supplies of which were rather limited, very little was doing, at barely late rates. Oats, Beans, and Peas, were quite as dear. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley.
