WEXFORD.—On Thursday a numerous and highly re spectable meeting of the inhabitants of Wexford was held at the Assembly Rooms, where an address of con gratulation to Mr. O'Conn•Il and his fellow-martyrs was unanimously adopted. The Mayor, Sheppard Jeffares, Esq., presided. REJOICINGS IN THE COUNTRY. Once more the provincial journals contain numerous accounts of popular rejoicings for the liberation of Mr. O'Connell. 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:— " CLIFDEN.—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 peop le. The p eo p le 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 house', however, a ere 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 Tulle 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 for 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 : " Tem. V 3 ORE, 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. &ea 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. O'Flea, 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 Hea, head-constable, against Thomas Mitchell, was then called on, and Mr. O'llea 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 no 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 ti den the Chairman, Mr. O'Brien, delivered the judgment --That the case should be dismissed, as the magistrates av ere of opinion that the bonfire not being held on a pub lit road, it was no offence under the Act upon which the jor osecution was based. But he could not refrain from s aging that the conduct of the accused was very proper a cal becoming, in desisting so soon as he did. He was al st) bound to say that, in his opinion it was a most un fo.seunate occurrence that the stipendiary mag:strate 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 del;ghtsd 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. Dune's:, SEPT. 15.—The expenses of the traversers in the State prosecutions were enormous. Every pos sible obstacle had been cast in the way of the defendants, and the Cro am 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, 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 DEItRYNANE. Mr. O'Connell intends to leave here on Tuesday week .for Derrynane Abbey, and several provincial dinners are tc be postponed until his return. Two CLERGYMEN DISOWNED AT ROME.—A .melan ehot:v event occurred at Rome on the 28th ult. ; two ec cleeia sties, students of the Irish Franciscan College in th a t city, were unhappily drowned whilst bathing in the be One of the deceased, the Rev. E. F. Martin, w T a y sin r. m.lest's orders, and had celebrated the holy sa• crifice ale ns'c'rning of his untimely and lamented death. His companiou; the Rev. Richard Ambrose Kavanagh was ordained sot; -deacon on the previous Sunday. The former was an excel: ,ent swimmer, but Mr. Kavanagh could not swim, and 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. THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, 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 Motherbank, where she has been performing quarantine since 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 Hon. Mr. and Lady Stuart Wortley, General and Lady Drummond, Captain Fitzclarence, Major Ra,- bon, Capt. Prittie, and Lady Southwold, arrived in Lon don on Monday, by the General Steam Navigation Com pany's steam-ship Soho, that left Antwerp the previous afternoon. The Soho also brought upwards of 3,000 baskets of walnuts. MANSLAUGHTER.—PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 17.—An inquest was held last night at the Bridge Tavern,Broad street, by Mr. W. Cooper, the coroner for Portsmouth, on the body of a woman, aged 50, named Harriet Hill, who came by her death under the following circum stances :—lt appeared that the deceased was a married woman, residing at a low public-house, situate in Tower street, Portsmouth. It was not known how long de ceased had been married, but she had parted from her husband a long time. She had of late taken up with the prisoner, Thomas Matthew Tucker, a young man, aged about twenty, with whom she had been cohabiting. On the evening of Thursday de ceased and the prisoner returned from Southsea Races, and on going to bed quarrelled, and made a disturbance in the house in which they lodged. The next morning (Friday) deceased was observed to have a cut in her lett ear ; and on being asked who did it, ad mitted the quarrel with Tucker, and said he did it. I, ) eceased and Tucker, however, went out as usual on the doNs Friday, a n d were re t urn i n g home in the evening Broad s t reet quarre lli ng . The woman was sud denly observed to be struck by some one, will accom panied th e bl ow with " Take that, you b—, " and was seen to run into the road and drop, screaming. She was immediately taken up by some lookers-on and con veyed to her lodgings, but she never spoke more, and expired on the following evening. Suspicion fell upon the prisoner Tucker, v and lodged in gaol. s Eight immediately apprehended notwitnesses were ex amined at the inquest, butone swear to the prisoner as the man who had inflicted t e h e blow, not withstanding several swore to seeing th The inquiry was consequently a blow given. v protracted i tr to acted one ; er eventually, however, the Jury, ha ng n nn t upon their minds but that the p ris oner was the m an who administered the deadl y stroke, del ivered a verdicta of " Manslaughter against Thomas Matthew Tucker." The prisoner was removed to gaol, and will be brought before the magistrates for examination this day. surgeon who examined the body pronounced it to be that of a person of very healthy constitution ; althou g h so far advanced in years, none o f the usual signs of an irregular mode of life being visible, the whole system and brain (with the exception of an effusion of blood, caused by the blow) being in a most healthy and sound condition. The blow took effect upon the neck, on tho jugular, and produced instant insens ibilit y , and eventually death. The prisoner will be committed to Winchester, to take his trial for the offence at the next assizes. THE NELSON TESTIMONIAL.—The public were for a few hours on Tuesday morning gratified by a view of the Nelson Testimonial, unencumbered by the wooden hoarding that has so long obscured the base and lower portion of the pedestal from observation, and which, when removed, gave this national work the appear ance of completion. In furtherance of the determina tion of the Government to complete the monument, a model of the st e p s an d pl a tf orm roun d the base been prepared, and was visited yesterday morning by the Earl of Lincoln, Chief Commissioner of her Ma jesty's Woods and Forests, the architect, Mr. W.

LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1844 From the Times of yesterday we extract a highly interesting letter on the affairP, government, and civil and political administration of Sinde. We strongly commend it to the serious attention of every reader who would justly appreciate either the im portance of that territorial acquisition on the north western frontier of Hindostan—or the talents and genius of the intrepid soldier who could only hare surpassed the greatness of those achievements which effected its conquests by the consummate prudence and vigour with which he now governs it. Fertile as the cam paigns of our soldiery in those distant regions have ever been in military successes, we know of no in stance in which the laurels of victory have been gathered, under an Indian sun, with more daring, or with happier results, than those which adorn the career of Sir CHARLES NAPIER. He is one of the few commanding officers who has felt, in its full force— at the head of British and native troops, flushed with the renown of their triumphs over forces and re sources of the most disproportionate magnitude as compared with their own—the depth and truth of the political axiom, "that our empire in India is an empire of opinion." Under this salutary conviction, he seems ever to have made it his first object, after reaping the fruits of his rapid, but always fortunate and well-combined movements against an enemy, to inspire confidence, regard, and even attachment in the native mind, by an intelligent respect for cus toms and usages not incompatible with the great principles of morality or civilisation—by a nice ad justment of the efficient exercise of his own powers and authority to the ostensible demands of Oriental etiquette and decorum ;—by a bold and soldier-like confidence in the good faith of a vanquished foe who has once entered into other and more pacific and pri vileged relations with the government of his con queror. This happy combination of the highest ability for civil administration with the clearest fore cast and vigilance, the most untiring energy, promp titude, and courage, in military movements and operations, constitute Sir CHARLES NAPIER ' S title to rank among the most gifted soldiers and diploma tists of his day. In answering certain passages in a previous letter from a " Deccan Correspondent" of the Times, "an Officer" has really developed those excellencies in the character of his hero, Sir C. NAriER, with much spirit, and in a style of truthful simplicity. It is difficult, no doubt, to satisfy the expectations of an Anglo-Indian resident, who talks of an as semblage of twenty thousand armed Beloochee chiefs, at Hyderabad, at the simple bidding of Sir CHARLES, as a " poor affair:' But those who know the in domitable spirit of the Raj port and Beloochee races, their impatience of all foreign authority, and their habits of military license, will rather perceive, in this memorable incident --(especially when they call to mind the modest amount of effective forces, after have European already an cited. The ted The sagacity and com mander, under whose administration such an evidence of the moral force of opinion among such a turbulent and formidable oligarchy of feudal leaders is elicited, cannot be over-estimated. But when we contemplate our gallant NAPIER'fi mode of resenting the bar barous treachery of Au MOW ;—the emphatic astonishment and sudden allegiance of Go DLAM Kuaer ;—the signal act of retributive venge space, quietly inflicted on some highland chieftain in the heart of his own mountain domains, with two off his followers, for the robbery and murder of an Arm eenian merchant ;—the abrupt intrusion into the Gen eral's presence of the old Beloochee who had trave!sed a distance of two hundred miles only to see the man, the renown of whose inflexible justice had penet rated to the wildest haunts of the tribes who had rotired thither from the lawless cruelties and oppression s of their own Ameers ;—and when we mark homage !paid, by the great Governor (the "Padisha," as they name what extravagantly term him), to the personal nights and property of the meanest native, in the pi resh ment and expulsion of the policeman ; we se em carried back to the primitive days of Mussuilnian simplicity and sternness, good faith, and chiva l trous devotion. It is like reading some of those pas sages which GIBBON has transferred from the Arabian Annalists of the unflinching justice of Anu Busa, the immovable loyalty of OMAR, and the enthusle stic confidence of Au. These anecdotes are really most picturesque and dramatic. But the truth is, that the merits of Sir CHARLES'S civil administration of Sinde, as illustrated by "an Officer," may well rank with any upon record, in respect of Government ; as sumed and established under such extraordinary cir cumstances. To have established a rapidly increstsing revenue on firm and yet expanding bases—to ;main tain all the effective establishments of his G•o vern ment on a scale of expenditure as marvellous for its economy, as its own working is for efficiency ; to have made the authority of justice not less respected throughout his wild and mountainous province., and its fierce and heretofore turbulent people, tha.n the terror of his military prowess, which he has so often and so amply signalised upon their choicest forges ; to have inspired implicit confidence in his ow n go vernment and the beneficent nature of its tend€tncies; —to have secured the personal attachment of the chiefs whose power he has curbed, and whose ex cesses he restrains ;—and to hare impressed, by the magnanimity of his own character and acts, an entire people, semi-barbarous and fanatical though they be with feelings of reverence for, and obedience to, the distant nation and the mighty SOVEREIGN whom he represents among them ; these, surely, are no (ordi nary triumphs to have been accomplished against all physical odds and disadvantages, within a few short months of incessant and zealous devotion to the most varied and difficult of public duties. We take no credit to ourselves for having endeavoured, from the first intelligence of his masterly operations in Sinde, to direct attention to the consummate prudence and wonderful fortune of Sir CH ARLES NAPIER ; but we will venture to exceed the terms of our former com mendation of this distinguished officer, by mu - waking that to have performed such services to his country —military, diplomatic, and civil services, as we shall call them—is to raise an inference that the individual by whom they have been rendered must be animated by no small portion of the inherent genius and heroism of a CLIVE, and the disciplined and profound statesmanship of a WELLESLEY. At the last weekly meeting of the Repeal Asso ciation, Mr. O'CominnL—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 a, 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 be 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 w are inctifinil in nun hal;af that tor 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 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 ! Well, what then? Will it, though no m:nally 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 superior 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 should be nothing more than the creatures of his own sovereign will—a sort of multiplication of himself! "I am France !" said NAPOLEON. "I am the Preservative Society 1" may Mr. O'CONNELL say, with equal truth, when once this confederacy is em bodied and fairly set a-going. The Madrid journals of the 10th have arrived. 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 NARVAEZ is producing its natural results, and the Carlists are now become so influential as a party that they have been enabled to return no less than forty Deputies to the Cortes. This is one 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. 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 Abderrhaman has yielded to what he 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 this important event ; all men of sense understand them. A glorious peace, with all its consequences ; Algeria freed from annoyance; the impulse of great public works confirmed - France employed more than ever in further- ' ing the h appiness 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 Is e lay before our readers." The Journal des Debais 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 France 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 A lID-EL-KADER. " It will be necessary," says the Constitutionnel, " to ascertain if Mr. BIILWER 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 PRITCIIARD, does not ask the smallest coin from the Emperor of MOROCCO.

The cause of such an outrage on the part of the Maroquin authorities has not tran spired.—Morning Advertiser. COURT CIRCULAR. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, and her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, left Witley Court, Worcestershire, yesterday morning, to honour the Earl Howe with a visit, at his seat, Gopsall Hall, Leicestershire. A deputation, consisting of Mr. G. H. Wilkinson (Chairman), Mr. E. Oxley (Deputy-Chairman), Mr. N. Pleur, and Mr. W. O'Brien, from the Great North of England Railway, had an interview with the Earl of Dalhousie yesterday, at the office of the Board of Trade, on the subject of a branch line from the Great North of England Railway to Harrowgate, Knares borough, and Ripon. Sir Robert and Lady Peel arrived at their residence at Whitehall-gardens, yesterday evening, from Dray ton Manor, Staffordshire. A deputation from the Direct Portsmouth Railway Company, consisting of the Chairman, the Deputy chairman, Sir James Stirling (one of the Directors), Mr. 'William Cubitt, and Mr. Burchell (the Solicitor), had an interview with the Earl of Dalhousie, on Tues day, at the Board of Trade. Dispatches for Sir C. Metcalf, Governor of Canada, and for the Governors of the other North American Provinces, were sent off yesterday evening from the Colonial-office. BRIGHTON-TUESDAY. Shortly ofter nine o'clock this morning the Dowager Lady Lyttelton ordered the carriage, and directed the attendants to drive to the Pier. The Prince of "Wales and the Princess Alice were in the Royal carriage, but the weather was too hazy for the royal infants to be taken out. On arriving at the saloon their Royal Highnesses were taken out of the carriage, and the Prince of Wales and his sister walked to the outer plat form of the Pier, where they amused themselves for above half an hour by running about. On returning to with one of the towers, and, of his own accord, stopped to look at it for a few moments. The Dowager Lady Lyttelton led him to the carriage, and, on seating herself, took him into her lap. A strong mist was falling at the time, but it did not prevent them from taking their accustomed airing on the cliffs. The playfulness exhibited by the royal children was exceedingly interesting t o a grea t number of persons on the cliffs immediately opposite the Pier, who seemed very desirous of obtaining admission to the Pier; but during their Royal Highness's prome nade no one was allowed to go on. The Prince wore a black silk velvet pelisse and a leghorn hat and feathers, and the freshness of the sea breeze imparted additional bloom to his countenance. ~„ . Baron Brunnow and Count Dmitry Nesselrode accom panied Count Nesselrode and his daughter to Buckhurst yesterday. Baron Gurney has just taken a house here ; and the Countess Cadogan has removed from th e Albi on Hotel to a house on the Marina Parade. Braham and his sons sung at a concert here last night, which was exceedingly well attended. The veteran English singer was encored in several of his songs. J.

' SOUTHAMPTON, SEPT. 18 :—The Tweed, R o y a l M a il Steam -packet Company s ship, C a p t . S harp, arrived here at 10 A.M., this morning. She brings 155 oz. of gold dust, and 1,193 oz. of silver. On the 26th of August a destructive fire, at Guadeloupe, destroyed the Custom house and fifty-five houses ; loss estimated at 30,000 E We believe that the Tweed brings no other news of im portance. AMUSING INCIDENT.—A gentleman, one of a party recently on a tour through the Hi g hl an d s, wr i tes us: — " Having passed a delightful mornin g on t h at sw ift es t o f steamers the Dolphin , commanded by Captain Mackillop, we proceeded to touch at Ballachulish, with the intention of making an excursion to Glenco. We endeavoured to land at the slate quarry, but as often as our rope was thrown over to secure the vessel, it was flung back to the steamer. A body of natives soon collected from the quarry, and seemed determined to prevent our landing, regarding with a jealous eye what th e y cons id ere d an in trusion by the Sasso!ach. Most fortunately we were provided with two six -pounders, one of which we in stantly pointed in the directio n o f t h e enemy, and, un d er its protection, a sailor landed an d secured our rope. Th e natives scampered off in all directions over the slates, the rolling of which, added to their shouts, caused no little addition to the ludicrous nature of the scene. Our piece of artillery was well directed, and the very sight of it sent a number of slaters rolling down the banks of their own quarry. Those who stood at the top of the quarry ready to come to the aid of their comrades below, were so panic-stricken that they instantly fled, and could not be induced to take any part in the attack.—Ross-shire Advertiser. A HINT TO OUR CABMEN.—According to a report of the Prefect of Police of Paris, the hackney-coach drivers of that capital deposited in the hands of the au thorities 18,097 f. in money, and articles to the value of 22,719 f., in all 40 ,816 f., left by mistake in their vehicles during the year 1843. EXTENSIVE FIRE.— SUPPOSED INCENDIARISM.— Between the hours of twelve and one yesterday morn ing, the neighbourhood of West Smithfield was thrown into the utmost state of excitement, in consequence of the sudden outbreak of a most destructive fire upon the premises belonging to Messrs. Daveness and Co., bird importers, &c., carrying on an extensive business in Turnmill-street, Clerkenwell. The first discovery ap pears to have been made by a person through seeing a great column of smoke and sparks mounting over the roofs of the dwelling -houses. An instant alarm was spread, and the inmates were aroused from their slum bers. It was then perceived that the fire was raging in the centre of a building filled with hay and straw, over which were erected a range of premises con taining upwards of 150 dozens of live pigeons. An attempt was made to save them, but the fire being so powerful, the parties were forced to make a precipitate retreat. Fortunately, the horses, were all got out in safety. About eight engines of the Brigade, under the superintendence of Mr. Braidwood, with one or two more from the parish stations, were remarkably quick in arriving, and were followed by the West of England engine and firemen, with Mr. Connorton. Water was obtained in abundance, from which several engines were set to work, but the firemen, although they exerted themselves to the utmost, were unable to confine the fire to the premises where it began , a nd ve ry speedily a longe ran ge o f b u ildi ng , nearly 70 feet deep, became ignited. Th e eng i nes were worked with full vigour until two o'clo c k, w h en it became evident that the flames were succumbing beneath the exertions of the firemen, and in the course of another quarter of an hour or so they were completely subdued. The damage done is considerable, for besides the destruction of the 150 dozen pigeons, a great number of fowls perished in the fire, and the whole of the buildings above. named are gutted. The origin of the fire is not precisely ascer tained, but it is the opinion of one of the firemen that it was the work of sone vile incendiary. The present is the third fire upon the same premises within nine months. The loss will be covered by an insurance in the Hand in-Hand-office. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The English Stocks close very firm this afternoon. Co isols 99.1 a for Money, and 993 buyers for Account. The Foreign Stocks were supported, except Spanish, whic' gave way, being 234 for Five per Cents., and 34f for the Three per Cents. Mexican were 36 to I. The Railway Shares continued rather quiet, except as regards the dealings in the new lines, which were at full rates. (From The Sun of Last Night.) There was a quiet market again for Cotton at Liver pool yesterday, and prices were still rather in favour of the buyers. Sales, 1,500 bales. The chief business in Rail ways was in the new lines.—French and South-Eastern were quiet.

The arrivals of produce, Colonial and Foreign, in the docks and bonded warehouses, continue to be immense, and the trade of the port of London is at the present moment more active than it has been for a very consider able time past. The sales by private contract far exceed those by public auction. The river Thames for miler never before was so crowded with shipping as it is now. Accounts from Montreal state, that the very earliest essay of Canadian manufacture of cotton had been re ceived there. It is the produce of the British North American Cotton Company, at their mills, on the Richelieu above Chanbly, the erection of which has been regarded with so much interest in the province. The article is a wadding, or thick fabric of cotton, not woven but compressed, or rather felt, and will be found of the greatest use in this climate in the winter, for clothing and bedding, and for other purposes, in combination with woollen or other more solid fabrics. It is a very excellent article of its kiwi, but we trust is but a beginning ; for a very little extension of the same machinery as that employed in producing it, will cinvert it into_a thread, and from heavy twist the transition, by hand or power, to the manu facture of calico is easy. This enterprise is one whieh deserves all encouragement. It is a healthy and natural one, availing itself of the physical advantages the country affllrds, and directing its surplus labour into a proper channel. We quote the following from a file of Canada papers before us, as they are really worth notice on this aide of the Atlantic : " We have had the pleasure of seeing a gentleman who has just returned from a visit to the frontier, and who states that the farmers are generally very much pleased with the operation of the Agricultural Protection Bill, and that a great many seizures of cattle, &c., have taken place. The recent appointments of Custom-house officers will no doubt tend to increase the efficiency of the Act. " We are glad to see that the tide of emigration still sets towards the western: part of the province. Whilst enjoying a moonlight ramble on the night of Thursday last, we were passed on the Macadamised road by nine waggons, containing emigrants from Scotland, who, judging from the respectability of their appearance and the formidable array of chests, boxes, and baggage, in which they were intrenched, appeared to be of the more substantial class of farmers. Others were on the road, making an aggregate of thirteen waggons, and from 90 to 100 persons. They are about to settle at Stratford, and will, we have no doubt, prove a valuable acquisi tion to that section of the country. May success attend them!" The Funds are very steadily supported, with a mode rate business doing as far as the few Securities open to public transfer are concerned. Consols for present transfer have been 99i to 99i, and for time, 99, 3 ,- to par: Exchequer Bills are 745. to 765.; and India Bonds 90s. premium ; Bank Stock for account is 204 to 205.

PuciLism.—On Monday the fight between Smith (the Cheltenham Youth) and Welsh (of London) came off a short distance below Gravesend, 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 ring was formed, and the men introduced. Smith was attended by Stocks, and Welsh was seconded by Turner. In betting, 5 and 6to 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 readily 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 till it was lost;" and 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 ring as the above, did not take , place. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Public eptnton. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. On Saturday evening, their Majesties the King and Queen of the French received the Neapolitan Ambas sador, the Ministers of Marine and Commerce, the Duke &Harcourt, the Count de Colomby, and M. Bermudez. We understand that their Majesties and the Royal Fa mily will remove to the Palace of St. Cloud about the 25th, and that the King, after seeing his family in• stalled, will go to Eu, from which place he will proceed to England. The King and Queen of the Belgians, with the Princes, their sons, and suite, arrived at Ostend on Saturday last. They are to return to Brussels on the 22d. The Constitutionnel says that their Sicilian Majesties will arrive at Paris at the end of October, and it believes that their visit is connected with the Duke d'Aumale's rumoured marriage. M. Cortina, ex-President of the Spanish Corte , -, and ex-Minis'er, anl M. Cantaro, ex-Minister of Finance, have arrived in Paris. The .Nuremberg Correspondent has a Berlin letter of the Bth, saying:—" The Empress of Russia is expected to pass the winter at the Palace of Belle Vue, in Berlin. Our King, it is said, is to have an interview with the Emperor Nicholas, at a place on the frontier, near The Univers states that several French and Italian Jesuits have just e nbarked at Bordeaux for Madag tscer, where they intend to form a missionary settlement. The Pope has anointed an auditor of rota for Spain. The appointment is provisional, but it is regarded as an indication of the approaching settlement of ti e differ ences between the Papal Court and the Spanish Govern meut. We read in a letter from Trieste, of the sth:—" The Prince de Metternich has given an audience to all the foreign Consuls. The French and English Ambassadors to the Court of Austria have arrived, and it is generally reported that a conference will be held on the affairs of Italy. The Emperer and Empress of Austria have just arrived." _ _ _ In consequence of the failure of the harvest in Poland, from the inundations of the Vistula, the Emperor Nicholas has interdicted the exportation of corn from that country. A letter from Leipsic of the 11th inst., announces that the town of Plauen had been on fire for two days, and was still burning. The church, the great pharmacy, and 160 houses were already destroyed; but the town library was fortunately saved. The Mayor of Dieppe has given notice that in con sequence of the postponement of the visit of the King and Royal Family to the chateau d'Eu, the ceremony of the inauguration of the statue of Duquesne, which was to have been honoured with their presence, and had therefore been postponed, will take place on Sunday next. The culture of rice has just tee I tried with full suc cess at Camargue, near Arles. The vegetation of the crop is so fine, that no doubt remains of the soil, Ca margue being perfectly wall adapted to it. At a recent sitting of the Municipal Council of Paris, a vote was come to that the Prefect should be requested to make inquiry as to the various communities formed in Paris—the Scours Ursulines, and others—the mem bers of which, under pretence of furnishing charitable &c., obtain admittance into families, and employ an influence which may be turned to an improper account. Ile Council demand that none of these societies shall be permitted unless the law respecting them be fully conformed to. ' A letter from Athens of the 31st ult., in the Sud c f Marseilles, states that dissentions had already commenced in the new Ministry, particularly between M. Metaxa And M.

HER MAJE BLAIR ATtiOL, MONDAY, SEPT. 16. The rain continued to fall without intermission throughout the whole of yesterday, but the incle mency of the weather did not deter her Majesty from attending Divine service at the village church. A number of workmen had been engaged until a late hour on Saturday night in fitting up the chieftain's pew, which, on this occasion, was destined for the use of her Majesty. Fresh cushions I were placed on all the seats, and it was lined throughout with red velvet, and every preparation that the most careful attention could devise was made, to render it fit for the reception of its illus trious occupant. With that punctuality for which every member of the Royal Family has been so emi nently distinguished, her Majesty arrived at this humble place of worship a few minutes before the commencement of Divine service. Lord and LadY Glenlyon, in their britschka, preceded the royal party, and shortly after the arrival of his Lordship, one of the royal close carriages, with a pair of horses and a single outrider, was seen driving rapidly down the avenue which leads from the prin cipal entrance to the castle. The guard of Athol Highlanders, who were stationed at the gate which has been recently erected presented arms as the royal carriage drove along the road; and Lord Glenlyon , accompanied by several of his noble relatives and clansmen, including the Master of Strathallan, Sir David Dundas, Kier of Kindroggan, Oswald of Dun nikier, Captain Drummond, &c., all of whom were attired in the national costume, were drawn up out.. side the porch of the village church to receive her Majesty. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, Viscountess Canning, and Lady Caroline Cocks, were also in the royal carriage. On alighting her Majesty was conducted by her noble host to his Lordship's pew, and shortly after the arrival of her Majesty, another of the royal car riages drew up to the church, containing Lord Aber deen, Lord Liverpool, Lord Charles Wellesley, Mr• G. E. Anson, and Sir James Clarke, all of whom occupied places in the hack of the royal pew. Upo n these feudal principles also, which, even upon the pre sent occasion, were not departed from, places wer e assigned in the back of the pew for Lord Glenlyon's steward, and some few of the principle members of his Lordship's household. The Highland Chieftain , with Lady Glenlyon, sat beside Lady Canning in the front seat with her Majesty. Divine service then commenced according to the Presbyterian form of worship. A psalm was firs t sung, in excellent time and tune. The clergyman' Mr. Irvine, then delivered an extempi bre prayer, a ft er which another psalm was sung, and the sermon fol lowed, Mr. Irvine taking his text from the thirteenth verse of the fifth chapter of Matthew, " Ye are th e salt of the earth," Mr. Irvine's sermon was a plain, straightforw ar d discourse, devoid of all flourishes of rhetoric, I T was delivered in a broad Scotch accent, but Mr , vine's enunciation was so clear and distinct, that every' word was perfectly intelligible to the English portion. of the congregation. We were happy to find that the clergyman had the good taste to abstain from these pulpit panegyrics and personal allusions, which, so former occasions of a similar nature, have heen.h distasteful to her Majesty. In the short prayer w ale followed the sermon, and which concluded the servin_,,' the Queen and the Royal Family were mentioned, r:11: a matter of course, but beyond this there vvas P e o f lusion, either directly or indirectly, to the presence the Sovereign amongst the congregation. ist- After the service, according to a custom still log in some parts of Scotland, wooden boxes beattachere to thin poles, and called " ladles" by the Scotch, w e r handed into all the pews, in order that every tne ln d s of the congregation might contribute his mite too° the support of the parochial poor. Her Majesty aP o i peared to look with great interest at this method collecting alms, and Prince Albert was evid e Te anxious to contribute, but a plate being placed a t ', kirk door, at the entrance to the chieftain's P e o o,f enabled her Majesty, the Prince, and the mernbe o r s f t he the suite, :to leave their donations on going out church.
