FOUR -OARED CUTTER MATCII.—The grand e u e 7-talked- o f match between the old and new Diana beats, tni ru re e off yesterd ay , and afforded a very high treat to the ad well list. of this b eaut i ful art. The crews of the two boats are edly known in th e anna l s of rowing, and as oarsmen are decid thre theof first or d er. There has been for upwards of these res e years a diversity of opinion regarding the merits of the te 11P,eoc.tive companies, and although th e boats have often con-. (t e „ u in match es f or silver cups, yet there has not been that vv P a po e rtunity afforded of jud g i ng their respective merits like a tes ! of r2 in which the two only were engaged. In the last con- Tom Chandler, both these boats were entered, and the ', 1 .! Diana came in some distance in advance of the other. :tthe part o f t h e old Diana, it was asserted that the crew of sioonh boat h a d f ouled them, and after a very strong discus , i the present match was made for 201. aside. The men uave b een . n active training for these last three weeks, at least Cever s ince the m oney h as b een deposited, which i n t h e fi rst in e eu was doubtful, as a misunderstanding had prevailed. the anxiety was expressed on viewing the working of u crea, of the old b oat , as six an d seven to four had been bet against them, and fro the beautd seed with whih their ,°,7 rode over the, wate m r there were an not a few who •• c e d ge da co nsiderabl e money off, still the new Diana were the favourites, and a on i siderable deal of money was laid out at five to four. The new f ad had undergone considerable alteration, all her bad boards ta been shifted, and she was turned out under the superintend vnee of th e celebrated Hunt in the most beautiful order for a match'r, There was no regulation in the articles as to a choice C nt ,uuatS, and t h e old company chose a very beautiful light Iva ‘er of Lyons's, their own boat not being at all adapted for es g e t r in.g. The regulations of the match were to row from ezt minster Bridge to Putney against tide, certainly a most fi n 's long distance, and one that would try the best stamina in either boat. At half-past four the respec t e h at; `which had been in the lofts, were launched, and resented u ulted b ah equally beautiful appearance. The new Diana. d en the better boat, and her crew jumped in full of confi ce, as water did their adversaries from the opposite side, of the d et • The weather had been throughout the day such as to • a fe e vv r g,ettlem. en from going on the water, but still there were ter aetermined not to lose an opportunity of viewing a cut th ?na tal, unfrequent as they are.

Th e bl ac k boat of Lyons was of use on such a day ; she was too lofty, and never was 'lt for any thing but a dead calm. The crew of the new boat D r a i siste d of F. Mann, J.

ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY.—The ordinary meeting f scientific business was held on Tuesday evening, Richard "' w en, Esq. in the chair. Mr. Yarrell, who officiated as se letary, read the minutes of the last meeting, and exhibited 14 ',0 specimens of what what were termed three-quarter-bred t e easants, a cross between a hybrid pheasant and a barn-d o or In, an d was described as the only instance known of offspring be ing produced from a mule. One of these birds was of - a v l t.tish colour, and had much the appearance of a grouse. Mr. 'Curs mentioned a singular instance of a foal being lately tuduced at the gardens bearing all the marks and stripes of zebra. Mr. Gould exhibited 30 specimens of birds from ew South Wales, from Opt. Breet and Lieut. Brenton. At "ngst these he characterised a new species of oxiura, which e named oxiura australis, which was entirely aquatic, never 4e el Ing water, like a cormorant, one species of which alone T here been p rev i ous l y k nown , an d this being confined to Europe. was also a new species of gallinula , destitute of the I, oli te under the tail, and from which circumstance he charac lethed it gallinula ven t ra li s .

She went first to the ailt•°3'al Hotel ; but, upon learning that Lablach, Ivanoff, As t,ntri, and Caradori Allan were at the Moseley Arms, she m 'l i 'ved to th e l a tt er h o t e l. Her excitement began here, for * was not at a ll sat i s fi e d w ith the pieces selected for her at the ' gt k . n , / ari ° ll s performances.

ORANGE FABRICATIONS.—The last lie of the faction, put forward in the Cork Constitution, to the effect that three convicts, " Garryowen Boys," had received a free pardon from the Lord Lieutenant, has been officially contradicted in a letter to that journal, dated, " Hulk Surprise, Cove," and signed " D. W. Bissett, Local Inspector." The lie was a circumstantial one, giving particulars of the dress, demeanour, and conversation of the liberated convicts. This is about the two thousandth lie regarding Lord Mulgrave which has been put forward in the Orange press. Never was so shameless, so atrocious, and unprincipled a system of falsehood in any age or country.—Dublin Evening Post. PRIESTLY INCENDIARISM.—A correspondence appears in the Dublin papers of this day between the Rev. Mr. Moore, Curate of Tuam, and Lord Morpeth, relative to the declaration of Dlr. Kirwan that Nowlan, the apostate parson, " was brought for the purpose of creating a riot." We can find room only for the letter of Lord Morpeth— the Rev. Gentleman's lengthy comment may be well spared:— Dublin Castle, Sept. 22, 1836. Sir,—l am directed by his Excellency to acquaint you that he has made further inquiry into the transactions detailed in your letter of the 14th instant ; and he has thereby been put in possession of some circumstances connected with them, which were not fully laid before him in your communication. His Excellency can conceive that a Magistrate might have seen cause to regret that the placards, in which the preaching of the Rev. Mr. Nowlan was announced, and which were posted in various places about the town, were drawn up in terms necessarily offensive to the religious opinions of the large majority of the people, among whom they were to be exhibited. This consideration, however, cannot affect his Excellency's view of the disgraceful nature of the proceedings complained of within the cathedral ; and he has satisfaction in learning that the five Magistrates present unanimously con curred that summonses should be issued against the offenders. His Excellency has also felt himself bound to intimate to Mr. Kirwan his disapproval of the expressions alleged to have been used by him on the occasion. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, MORPETH. To the Rey. E. L. Moore, Tuam. In reference to " the awful picture of the country," which we noticed yesterday as coming from the Carlow Sentinel, the Dublin Evening Post has the following just remarks :—Why Captain Burke or the police should be employed in posting Rebellion Notices, the Court of Ex chequer knows best ; but why they should be posted on the doors of a Catholic church surpasseth our understanding, unless, indeed, it be explained on the principle that the ob ject of the posters was to excite the animosity of the people. It is impossible that they should regard with any other feel ings than those of hatred and vengeance, the cool insult thus offered to them and their religion by the Established Church ; and, so far from feeling surprised at the warm reception the police received from the people of Rathvilly, we think that they ought to be thankful in having escaped so well. But why, after all, did they go to the Catholic Church for the purpose of posting their notices ? They clearly had no Act of Parliament for it—and potent as the Barons of the Exchequer are, we doubt whether they could be justified in issuing orders to desecrate a place of Catholic worship. As at present advised, we really; think that the parish of Rathvilly ought to bring an action of trespass against the Rebellion Ruffians, or the Constabu lary, as the case may be. But only see the condition to which the Church and Lord Lyndhurst have reduced the country. TIPPERARY.—The Reverend H. Palmer has filed twelve bills against twelve small farmers, and some widows, for the recovery of tithes. These persons will be driven on the road side, or suffered to rot in gaol. COUNTY CORK.—The Reverend Mr.Creagh has declined giving any statement, in answer to the letter of Mr. O'Do novan. We may conclude, therefore, that the horrible statement of tithe oppression, contained in that gentleman's letter, is correct. But matters are coming fast to a conclu sive crisis. IRELAND IN DANGER.—The winter campaign promises to be a warm one. There are various indications which in duce us to anticipate that the attack and the defence will be conducted with more than ordinary obstinacy. The efforts making by certain clergymen of the Established Church to excite religious rancour, by introducing Apostate Priests and other profligates to calumniate the Ancient Faith, are, no doubt, undertaken on the calculation that these exhibi tions will provoke the resisting parties to extremities ; and, perhaps, after all, this devilish policy may succeed. Most certainly, if the Rebellion Ruffians continue in concert with the Delanys, Alartins, Nolans, Forger Todds, and Crottys, for a reasonable space, we should not be amongst those who would take a policy of insurance for the peace of the coun try.—Dublin Evening Post. MR. RUTHVEN'S ADDRESS.—In the Freeman's Journal, received this day, appears a very long Address to the Trades' Union of Dublin by Air. Ruthven. Its tone and bearings will probably be understood by the following de tached passages extracted from the address :—" To THE TRADES' UNION OF DUBLIN.-' All are born equal ; none coming into the world brings with him the right to com mand.' Fellow-countrymen--I address myself to you, men of Dublin, because I know the eyes of Ireland are ever watchful of your movements, because your patriotic efforts, steady in the pursuit of liberty and justice for our country, form the beacon light which guides the course of your patient but suffering countrymen. Brothers of the Trades' Union, you are the moving power on which rests the attainment of political liberty for Ireland—of the inde pendence—of the happiness of her sons. The session of Parliament is past—is Ireland the better for it ?—is England the better for it ? The Government of Lord Melbourne still guides the councils of our King—another twelve months' salary is paid his Majesty's Ministers. Where are the great masses of the people benefited ? where are the wretched beings by whose hard toil the cold hearted proprietors of the soil, the selfish oli g archy,are enabled to revel in luxury, improved in c o ndition ? Nowhere. * * * By a pressure from without only can we have good and cheap government. Coerce the aristocracy—reform the Lords ; reform—useful, real, radical reform, if it progress as it has begun, will be delayed " ad Kalendas Grcecas! * * * # # * W' My conviction is, that until we have a repeal of the legislative Union, the blight attendant on that accursed connexion will wither the best, the bright est, and most flattering prospects opened out to her pa tient people. Nor can I conceal from the people of Eng land, that legislate as they like about the Irish Church, there is but one, and a very simple mode of settling that at present complicated question ; if the Government really desire to quiet Ireland—if their fair promises, and still fairer professions, be not hypocritical, let them, so far as they are concerned, lose no time in framing a measure for the real abolition of tithe—a tax which never will be paid —never can be levied in Ireland. The Church must be separated from the State—the alliance is unholy—the con nexion of impurity. * * * * * * Men of Ireland—men of England, your interests are one and the same--let us have no more legislation for the few ; demand legislation for the millions. Brothers of the Trades' Union, tell his Majesty's Government it is easy to preach submission to the laws—to talk of order and tranquillity, Ireland is quiet—tell them that quiet is the consequence of her expectations—already we doubt a temporising policy— already our patience is on the wane—even-handed justice is our birth-right—without it there can exist no kindly sympathy, no principle of reciprocity between the poor and the rich man—the party of the people strengthens—be twixt the Whigs and the Tories we hold more than the balance of power—their day of domination is past—the spirit of the age advances—liberty and prosperity dawn upon the useful and industrious classes of the people ! Radicals of Ireland—Radicals of England, clasp fast the hand of brotherhood—in our number consists our strength— our union forms our irresistible power !" COUNTY RoscommoN.—lt was stated at the last meet ing of the General Association that Sir Wm. Brabazon was the possessor of an estate in the county Roscommon, out of which it was in his power to make a considerable number of voters, without the slightest injury to himself as a landlord, and the statement was very emphatically contradicted by Mr. Dillon Browne, the colleague of the Hon. Baronet in the representation of Mayo. We per ceive by an article in the Roscommon Journal of Saturday last, that the original statement was correct, and that Mr. Dillon Browne was wrong in his contradiction. We are glad to learn that a gentleman whom we know to be of so public spirited and patriotic a disposition has so much influ ence in Roscommon. We cannot help adding the satisfac tion with which we perceive that the necessary measures have been taken to put the representation of that county out of all jeopardy. Associations to watch the registries have been formed at Roscommon, Strokestown, Boyle, El phin, and Castlerea ; and from the names of the gentle men who have undertaken the direction and management of these associations, we can anticipate nothing but the most vigorous proceedings and the most splendid results.— eenzan's Journal. HORRIBLE FRATRICIDE.—The remains of Mr. William Magrath, late of Castle Hyde, near New Ross, arrived for interment in that town on Sunday evening. The melan choly fate of this unfortunate young man has caused, in consequence of the peculiar and scarcely paralleled circum stances, in the annals of crime, connected with his death, an unusual sensation. His body was found on Monday week, in the River Barrow, between Bagnal'stown and the Royal Oak—from the state of which, at the time, and being so far from where he resided, it was difficult to identify it. Yet it was evident he had been first murdered, and then thrown by his inhuman butchers into the river. A Coroner's i nq uest was conse quent l y h e ld , an d a ver di c t hadofwilf wilful m urder against some person or persons un known. Subsequent circumstances, however, led to the arrest of William Magrath, his elder brother, and two others, on suspicion of being connect e d i n t hi s b ru t a l deed - and the body being fully identified by C. C. White, THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1836. of the Rosbercon police, an investigation was gone into before the Magistrates at Borris, when, horrid to con template, this execrable monster, with the two others, named Aylward (father and son), and from the part of the country where the murder was committed, were fully committed to Carlow, to take their trial at the next assizes. Though the whole of the evidence given at the inquest has not yet transpired, enough is known to fully inculpate `►'arm. Magrath, the brother, as the principal in the fratricidal act. It seems there had been a jealousy and constant bickerings between these young men since the death of their father, which took place not long since, connected with the property at Castlehyde, the younger brother having been left in possession, the elder having re ceived his portion previous to his father's death. William, the elder brother, came some time since, having buried his wife, to Castlehide, and seemed on rather good terms with the deceased ; on the Saturday previous to the mur der, a letter arrived by a countryman, the youngest of the Aylwards above alluded to, purporting to be from a young woman who lives near Bagnalstown, and to whom the deceased had been recently paying his addresses, re questing him to come up immediately, as she intended going off with, and getting married to him, and that if so, he would be sure of her fortune, 2001. The deceased set off with the messenger, and waited about Bagnalstown for the greater part of the next day, expecting to meet the young woman ; i❑ the meantime, the brother by whom the letter was concocted and forged, hastened after his unhappy victim, and met him in company with the two Aylwards, and a man named Gaul ; the deceased not sus pecting anything, had something to drink along with them, after which he was told by Aylward that the young woman would see him at a certain lonely spot on the Barrow, where he repaired, and was there cruelly strangled and murdered, his own brother first knocking him down and strangling him with a handkerchief, while one of the hired assassins held his legs, and the other hammered him with stones on the head. They were above ten minutes dispatching their vic tim, when they carried his mangled corpse, and threw it into a deep part of the river, where it remained covered with sedge and weeds till it was discovered on the 19th inst. by some country people. One of the wretches, Ayl ward, has turned approver. After the murder, the fratri cide came to Castlehyde, took possession of the place, and reported that his brother, the deceased, had given him up the care of the place, while he was away, as he had gone to the North to get married, and would not be home for some time. When first taken he persisted in his inno cence, but it is said that he has since become quite de spondent, confident of the fate that awaits him.— Water ibrd Chronicle. MOST EXTRAORDINARY CASE.— HENRY-STREET.— Two ladies of respectable appearance came before the ma gistrates on Thursday, and made the following statements : —They said that some time in the month of July last, a lady of respectability came before their worships, at that office, to say that she dreaded her husband would send her to the madhouse, and requested advice from the ma gistrates. Mr. Cole said that he remembered the cir cumstance perfectly well, and it was one which surprised him a good deal, as the lady appeared to have been per fectly sane at the time. He then told her that if any attempt was made upon her liberty by her husband, from whom it appeared that she was living separate, her friends could bring the matter before the bench. One of the ladies, in continuation, stated that such was precisely the case. That a few weeks after the lady in question made this application, she was standing with informant in her garden, when they saw three desperate looking fellows pass by ; the lady exclaimed, " there are the three men whom my husband got to beat me in my own house." On the following day the lady was carried off, and placed in Swift's Hospital, where she has ' remained since the 13th of last month. She wrote to this lady, who went to see her ; it was her opinion that she was perfectly sane, and that she got very bad treatment, not being allowed any tea or any kind of comfort. The go vernor of the prison mentioned to informant that he was surprised the lady should have been allowed to remain in the house, that she was not a subject for it, and that he would wish she was out of it. Here the lady took a let ter from her pocket, written by her friend in the mad house, and read it to the magistrates. It appeared to have been the production of a person perfectly sane, and the writer complained of the harsh treatment she got, being denied tea and every other comfort and necessary to which she had been accustomed. The lady further mentioned that the husband of the unfortunate woman had consented to allow her a guinea a week as a separate maintenance, and that it was for the purpose of getting rid of the pay ment of that sum that she was sent to the mad•house ; it was said too that the husband was living with another woman. The magistrates said it was altogether the most extraor dinary case that ever came before them, and they would, in the first instance, write to the governor of Swift's, and have a private interview with him regarding how the lady got there, or if any doctor had certified as to her insanity, and then they would better know what course to adopt. The gentleman against whom these charges have been made holds a lucrative situation in one of the public offices. On Friday, Mr. Cummins, governor of Swift's Hospital, attended before the Magistrates, and stated various circum stances to show that the lady about whom the application had been made, was subject to temporary derangement ; that, when suffering in this way, she had accused her hus band of robbing the Bank of Ireland, and that two medical men had certified her insanity. Mr. Fullam, who appeared as the friend of the lady, contended that she was perfectly sane—that she had been cruelly treated, and he mentioned the names of two medical gentlemen who had certified her sanity. Under these circumstances the Magistrates de clined to interfere, and Mr. Fullam declared that he should bring the matter before the King's Bench. REFORM MEETING AT COVENTRY. _ Coventry, Sept. 27. Yesterday Mr. Williams, the Member for the city of Coventry, visited his constituents to render them, according to his promise made to them at the time of his election, an annual account of his Parliamentary conduct. A public dinner took place at St. Mary's Hall, previous to which Mr. Williams addressed the electors of Coventry from the bal cony of the Half-moon Inn. Mr. WILLIAMS commenced his address. He had come amongst them to attend to any complaint they had to make against him in his public conduct. He had attended his par liamentary duties in the House of Commons every day during the sessions, from the very first day the sessions began to the day they ended. It was true, that notwithstand ing the sessions had been protracted for an unusually lengthened period ; notwithstanding the Parliament had been sitting upwards of seven months, little good had been done for the people. The House of Com mons had indeed passed many important measures of reform—measures that would have been most acceptable and beneficial to the nation, but which never became the laws of the land, having been either strangled or defeated in the House of Peers. Twenty-seven Bills of importance had been totally rejected by the House of Lords, and seven had been so mutilated and deprived of their be neficial tendency by them, that the House of Commons were obliged to reject them. As a sample of how the Irish Corporation Bill had been treated in the House of Lords, he would tell them that out of 140 clauses which were in that Bill, 100 of them had been altered or rejected by the Peers, who had also added 18 new clauses, by which the whole principle, and even the very title of the Bill had been completely altered. Another Bill had been passed by the House of Commons, by which a reform would have been made in the Irish Church. The main object of that Bill was to provide amply, fully, and consistently for the wants of the clergy, and then to apply the overplus to the education of the people of Ireland generally, without refe rence to the particular religious tenets they professed. The House of Lords had rejected this Bill, containing so much good. What was to be the end of all that he could not tell ; they could not collect the tithes in Ireland. Perhaps, that meeting recollected that two years ago, a million of money was advanced for the relief of the Irish Clergy ; that money was to have been repaid ; it had not, however, and in his opinion never would be paid.—(Hear, hear.) The clergy were without the means of support, unless these were ob tained by extracting their hard earnings from the pockets of the people. Was it in accordance with the principles of justice that the people of Ireland should be subjected to such a system any longer ? They would not, he was as sured, submit any longer to this, and in justice to them selves they should not do so.—(Hear and cheers.) It now became an important question what was to be done in a state of affairs like this, when the two Houses of Parlia ment were in direct opposition to each other, one passing Bills which the country required, and the other rejecting them. If the House of Lords proceeded in their present course, it must be self-evident to every reflecting mind that it would be impossible to proceed farther in the various re forms which the people required, as the fruits of the Reform Bill. Was it to be endured that 250 of these Lords were to set at nought the wants and wishes of 24,000,000 of the most intelligent of the people in the world ?—(Cheers.) The question then was, how the House of Lords was to be brought to work for the people instead of against them ? The only mode of proceeding was to reform the House of Lords, and that could only be done by the people them selves. If the House of Commons were really elected by the people which could be the case when they achieved the vote by ballot, and an extension of the suffrage, then there would be such an assembly of their real representatives as could and would manifest a position of determination and independence, as would at once render void any efforts of the Lords to constitutional legislation.—(Loud cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman then entered into a lengthened ex planation as to his Parliamentary conduct. Mr. J. HEAD then came forward and proposed the fol lowing resolution That it is the opinion of this meeting that the steady, faithful, and unflinching support given by Mr. Williams to all those measures calculated to confirm and extend the liberties of the people, is deserving of our warmest applause and continued confidence and esteem." The resolution was carried with acclamation. The dinner took place at four o'clock, in St. Mary's Hall, which was thronged with the constituents and supporters of Mr. Williams. After the usual loyal toasts had been drunk, Mr. WILLIAMS (on his health being proposed) again addressed his friends. After several other toasts had been proposed, and speeches made, the meeting separated. Yesterday afternoon, about half-past three o'clock, a female, very respectably dressed, was observed by two water men, named Williams and Hart, to descend the steps on the lower side of Waterloo-bridge, and before the men could get to her she had plunged into the water, which at the time was at least ten feet deep ; she instantly sank under some wherries that were moored off the stairs. The two above named men, with much intripidity, jumped into the boats, and after much difficulty succeeded in keeping her head above the water. The unhappy creature was conveyed ashore, and carried to Mr. Morris's, the Wheatsheaf public-house, in the Strand, and Mr. Renshaw, surgeon, of the West Strand, was promptly in at tendance, by whose directions the practice of resuscitation was adopted, and in a short time she was so far recovered as to be enabled to say that her name was Harriet Newman, but nothing further could be elicited from her. Last night, between eight and nine o'clock, an alarming fire, which for some time threatened serious:conse quences to the surrounding neighbourhood, broke out upon the premises of a glass-blower, situated in Brandon-street, \Valworth. The flames were as first discovered by a passenger raging with great violence in the upper part of the premises. A policeman immediately sent a messenger to the different fire-stations in the metropolis, and in a very short period an engine belonging to the London Fire Establishment arrived, which was quickly followed by those from the Waterloo-road and Watling-street stations. In the interim the flames had extended with amazing rapidity, and great fears were enter tained for the safety of the adjoining houses. Fortunately, at the time of the arrival of the engines, a plentiful supply of water was obtained, and by the exertions of the firemen, the destructive element was with difficulty got under, but not be fore considerable damage was done to the premises. A lecture was delivered at the Mechanic's Institu tion on Wednesday evening last, by Mr. D. Harrison (of Bath), illustrative of a system of mental calculation, which he is about publishing. The members were highly delighted at his ready man►ier of calculating mentally the most intricate questions that could be put to him. His second lecture in con tinuation will be delivered on Wednesday the 2d November. The first general meeting of the Directors and Share holders of the Thames Haven Dock and Railway Company, was held yesterday, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-stre e t ; Horace Twiss, Esq., M. P., in the chair. Mr. Amsinek, the Secretary, read the report. It contained a detailed statement of what had already been done, and a variety of calculations as to the future prospects of the Company, which were described as very encouraging. Several resolutions were afterwards passed. One was that 5001. should be presented to the Pro visional Committee for its services in the formation of the Company ; and another that 1,2001. a-year should be divided among the Directors. In acknowledging the latter grant, the Chairman stated that his co- Directors and himself would not think of accepting any pecuniary payment till the works were fairly in progress. The usual votes of thanks were then agreed to, and the meeting adjourned. SWEARING IN OF THE SHERlFFS.—Yesterday the new Sheriffs, Mr. Duke and Mr. Johnson, the Under- Sheriffs, and several privare friends, breakfasted at the resi dence of Mr. Duke, at No. 5, Manchester-square, from whence they proceeded to the Mansion-house, where the Lord Mayor gave a dejeuner to several of the members of the Corporation. They then, preceded by his Lordship, proceeded to the Guild hall, where they were sworn into office with the customary forms. _ Barnard, the stamper, who was injured by the ex plosion of the three letters at the Liverpool Post-office, is going on very well, but the use of the left eye is irrevocably lost. His face appeared as if it had received a charge of small shot, which was occasioned by the ends of small brass tacks, with which the letters were charged. LONGEVITY.—Died, on the 14th instant, in the vicinity of Florence -court, at the advanced age of 108 years, Mrs. Oliver Wallace, wife of Mr. Oliver Wallace, who is himself in his 102 d year. Mrs. Wallace has left behind the numerous progeny of 50 grandchildren, 1,804 great grand children, and 30 great-great-grand-children. She enjoyed good health until a few days before her death, and her memory was quite perfect, as is that of her husband still. There is living in the same neighbourhood at present a travelling tinker, named Coyle, known by the appellation of Paradubh Coyle, who is in his 108th year.—Enniskillen Chronicle. SAFETY CABRIOLET.—In addition to " Hanson's patent safety cabs," that have recently been started in the metropolis, another description has been brought forward, the door of which is at the back, like that of an omnibus. Although this plan would greatly facilitate escape, in the event of the horse running away, it also offers an admirable opportunity for taking a cheap ride, inasmuch as, when tired of the journey, the passenger has only to open the door and step out, a movement that the driver cannot possibly be cog nizant of. A ludicrous instance of this nature took place in the Strand yesterday, the knave of a passenger having enjoyed a comfortable ride all the way from Kensington. The House of Commons is now filled with work. men, who are making repairs and improvements in that edi fice, under the superintendence of Dr. Reid. The roof is to be lowered. A chimney, 120 feet high, is constructing in order to ventilate the House. LAST GRAND DAHLIA SHOW.—On Tuesday a I grand final review of those fine flowers took place at Salthill, in the gardens of Botham's hotel. They looked to every ad vantage on this occasion, as the weather was remarkably agreeable. Marquees of various sizes were prepared for the exhibition and the accommodation of its visitors. hi the chief one, wherein the choicest blooms were arranged, the initial letters of her Majesty's name were very neatly represented in dahlias, which were also used at the entrance to the grounds to enwreath the words " Metropolitan Society of Florists." From twelve to two o'clock the show was opened for the in spection of special visitors, and was then honoured by the pre sence of her Majesty and a large Royal party, who came to Salthill in seven carriages. Her Majesty expressed herself highly pleased with the whole display. In the baptismal register of the parish of Hanwell, Middlesex, is the following entry :—" Thomas, son of Tho reas Messenger and Elizabeth his wife, was born and baptized Oct. 24, 1731, by the midwife at the ont, called a boy, and named by the godfather Thomas, but proved a girl." On Monday week, an accident which might have resulted fatally, owing to the too great care which masters of steam-packets have for their boats, occurred as the Gainsbo rough steamer was coming to this port. When a little on this side Stockwith, a Miss Wrigglesworth, of Doncaster, who was a passenger on board, was suddenly seized with a fit, and in an instant leaped over the side into the water. The alarm was immediately given, and the boat which hung at the stern of the vessel endeavoured to be lowered, but it was found to he chained and locked to the place where it was slung, and the key had to be sought for. The engine was stopped imme diately ; but, what is most extraordinary, the lady floated upon the water insensible : no doubt, that insensibility, by render ing her incapable to make any exertion, saved her life. The vessel, fortunately, was near the shore, and a boat put off from thence to the succour of Miss Wrigglesworth, who, still un conscious, was lifted on board. Had the accident occurred in any other part of the river, fatal consequences would most probably have resulted. —Hull Observer. On Sunday a battalion of the 10th Legion of the National Guards of Paris, and the battalion of Vanvres, met on the plain of Clamart, to perform evolutions and practice a sham fight. In the melee, towards the end el the mimic battle, M. Carassi, of the Rue de Lille, an architect, and a Lieutenant in the Chasseurs of the 10th Legion, was pierced by the ramrod of one of the men, who in th confusion left it in his musket. He was instantly conveyed to a house near the spot, and received every surgical aid ; but his life is des paired of, as the ramrod was fixed so firmly in one of his shoulders that it was found impossible to draw it out. , . Sr. MI C HAE L ' S DAY.—This Saint is in our al manacs and in the calendar of the Church of England. The day ( September 29) is a great festival in the Romish Church. Our forefathers were told by the predecessors of Alban Butler, that Michael bore the banner of the celestial host, chased the angel Lucifer and his followers from Heaven, and enclosed them in d ar k a i r unto t h e day of judgment • not in the upper region, b ecause t h ere i t i s clear and delightful ; nor upon the earth, be cause t h ere they should not torment mankind, but be tween Hea ven an d earth, that when they look up they may see the joy whi c h they may see men mount to Heaven from whence they fell.

THE SASSANAGIL—When, in former days, the rebel Chieftain O'Neale, was passing by the house of one of the Anglo-Irish, he professed a vehement disgust against the intrude' . ; and when it was remarked to him that the Barratts had been there 400 years, he exclaimed—" Curse the churl, I hate him as if he had arrived but yesterday."—Quarterly Review. During the trial of a man, named Lainouroux, for the murder; of his wife, which we gave an account of the other day, it cam e out t h at t h e corpse o f t h e woman h a d earr i ngs , a gold rin g , and a purse, on it at the time of being discovered by the police, and that the porte-sonnette, a subordinate officer of the commissary of police, had taken poszegsion of these articles and so ld t h em , w i t h t h e k now l e d ge o f t h e comm i ssar y.

FRANCE. BAYONNE, SEPT. 22.—The following was the position of the Royalists on the 18th :—Head-quarters of Villareal and of Garcia were at Marenton, with a battalion of Alava. The Ist, 2d, and 3d battalions of Navarre, occupied Dicas tello, Mineari, and Ale g rin. The second squadron of Na varre were at Allo, and four pieces of artillery, with a bat talion of guides, at Villa Triesta. Seven battalions of Na varre and Biscay, and the 3d of Castille, occupied Lorca, Cirargui, and Manera. The Bth battalion of Navarre, with the Lyadrin of Monolin, were in the Valley of Echarri. The sth and 10th battalions of Navarre, commanded by Zulieri, occupied Olague, Bractin, and Escuira. The letters and journals of Madrid, received to-day, are of the 18th. It was still feared that Gomez would again show himself. The tranquillity of the capital is continually interrupted by cries and vociferations.—Gazette de France, dated Sept, 28. PARIS, SEPT. 26.—Yesterday evening there was a di. plomatic meeting at Count Mole's. The Ministers of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, had a conference with the President of the Council. It is affirmed that the health of the three Sovereigns has given occasion to communications and alarm, notwithstanding the official bulletin of the physi cians. This morning, at Tortoni's, what was communicated in the evening, was doubtless much exaggerated, when it was affirmed that the Prince Royal of Prussia had been proclaimed King by acclamations by the officers of the staff of Berlin and Potsdam ; that the Emperor of Austria was attacked by cholera ; and that it was feared the vault of the Imperial Family of Russia would soon have to be re-opened. It was also pretended that Bohemia, Hungary, Servia, and Bosnia had proclaimed their union, and called a new Chief to preside over the destinies of all the Sclavo nion race.—Journal du Coninzerce, Sept. 27. King Louis Philippe is expected in Compeigne on Tues day, and will remain there until the 2d of October, the day fixed for the review of honour, after which the tents are to be struck. That prepared for his Majesty is most splendid. It is a pity only that it is constructed for so short a period ; a number of orange tress surround it, and a ditch, four feet in depth, protects its entrance. M.

PRUSSIA. BERLIN, SEPT. 19.—The news of the accident that befel the Emperor of Russia, on his way to Odessa, spread with the rapidity of lightning among, the inhabitants of Berlin, as well on account of the bonds of affinity and friendship which unite the two Sovereigns, as on account of the in fluence which every thing that affects the Imperial House of Russia may have on our country. The news arrived here to-day direct from St. Peters burgh to his Majesty the King, and indirectly by way of Warsaw, where the Polish Bank issued a circular to their friends to warn them against any attempts at stock-jobbing. As some merchants took care that the news should be im mediately published on 'Change, the effect on the funds was very trifling. We hear that during the short visit of King Otho at Potsdam, there was some discussion on the subject of the third series of the Greek Loan, guaranteed by the Three Powers. The powerful intervention of our Sovereign might very likely contribute to remove the obstacles which have hitherto been raised on the part of Russia against the payment of the third series. FRANKFORT, SEPT. 24.—The Duchess of Saxe-Coburg Gotha Altenburg arrived here yesterday. Also Lord Russell, English Ambassador at the Court of Berlin.— Frankfort Paper, Sept. 25. RUSSIA., • ODESSA, SEPT. I.—The Emperor Nicholas and the Grand Duke Constantine Nicholavistch are expected shortly to arrive in our city. Count Woronzow, the Governor of Southern Russia, is makin g preparations for their reception. The Emperor intends, before he comes here, to visit the country across which a canal is to be opened for the junc sion of the Volga and Don. The journal lately established at Teflis, under the title of Transcaucasian Journal, informs us, that the petty war going on in that country continues to be favourable to the Russian troops—our private letters from that city, however, state the contrary. A battalion of the 88th Regiment of the Line (the regiment of Mingre lia), and two squadrons of Lancers of Borysonglel, with two pieces of artillery, were lately escorting a c onvoy of provisions from Sladkoritchucial, when, on reaching within eighteen leagues of the fortress of Bacon, on the eastern side of the Caucasus, they were attacked and dispersed by the Tcherkescs. Upwards of one hundred men lost their lives in the encounter, and the artillery fell into the hands of the enemy. A few days afterwards, a field strong where detachment from the fortress, passing in the the engagement took place, brought off the twoi ie cannons, which had been spiked by the Tcherkeses. Lesghis the Abasians, and other tribes of Caucsus, subdued by Russians,havc voluntarily joined these insurgents. No Rus sian army was ever in a more critical situation, although fresh troops daily arrive to reinforce it. Persia likewise offers an aspect little re-assuring for the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh ; the new Shati :, has caused his troops to be organized and drilled on the European uroyean plan. The instruct ing officers are English foreignersandt from different coun tries, but there is not a single Russian among them. The ban d s have been .incorporated by order of Curds, whose Lieutenant-General Baron Rosen into regiments similar to those of the Cossacks, have mostly deserted the Russian service and entered the Persian a rmy . Th e E m p eror Ni cholas i s much displeased with General Rosen, and ascribes to the slowness of his operations the failure of the campaign in 'that country. It is thought that this officer will be su perseded in his command by • General Nikityn or Prince Shakowski.—Constitutionnel POLAND. The Cons/it/aim/2)cl contains the following. extract of a letter from Warsaw of the 13th instant :—" On the 3d, Field Marshal Paskewitsch summoned to him Count Lu 11einski, Count Wielopolski, and M. Dubowidzki , and in formed them that the Emperor would consent to grant an amnesty if a Polish deputation would come to him and pre sent a petition, declaring that Poland was connected with "7;. - k.l •s>. ----- Russia by the closest ties.

On the 11th of tbisl.rsorntr.-7.„ , , we received the official news of the accident tha to the Emperor on the road from Pena to Tarobof. \: report says that the Emperor was oyez turned ; but a well informed person affirms that a Russian officer fired a pistol at. the Emperor at the moment when he was rising in his carriage to see some horses go by that had been collected to remount a regiment of Hussars. The assassin was ar rested immediately, and the Emperor was only slightly wounded on the left side ; a few day's repose will soon set him about again ; but it is doubted whether he will conti nue his journey, for the existence of a vast conspiracy in the army is believed in. On the night of the news arri ving here several officers of the garrison of Warsaw were arrested, and taken off nobody knows where, under escort of the gendarmerie. An aide-de-camp of Prince Paske witsch set off in haste for the Hague, where it is supposed he will find the Grand Duke Michael, in order to invite that Prince to return to St. Petersburgh without delay. Great activity prevails among all the staffs, and the troops are on th e a l ert ; the Generals commanding show much distrust ; but whether against the citizens or the army, is not known." CRACOW. SEPT. 10.—On the evening of the Bth inst., two young men of the academy of Cracow, one of whom carried a cane, were passing near to an Austrian sentinel. Whether the soldier thought himself insulted and threatened, or that the students transgressed his private orders, he pushed them rudely off of the side walk, and, with his bayonet, knocked the stick out of the young man's band. The latter took it up, and, aidecl4by his comrade, rushed on the senti nel and disarmed him. The people immediately collected, and considerable agitation was beginning to manifest itself, when the police repaired to the spot, arrested the two young men, and lodged them in prison under a guard of police officers. General Kaufman, who, since he has received the cross of the order of St. Ann, appears desirous to imitate the Russians, sent a detachment of A ustr i an troops to take possession of the prisoners, whom he caused to be dragged by force to Podgorze, a town o r su b ur b o f Cra cow, on the right or Austrian bank of the Vistula, and lodged in a guard-house, where they were to remain while the preparations were made for flogging th em i n the public square ; but notwithstanding the vexations and humiliations to which the authorities of Cracow are daily exposed, the foreign residents have not yet succeeded in stifling in the breasts of several of them all feeling of ho nour. No sooner was M. Soboleurdi, the senator, charged with the direction of the police, informed of the arbitr ar y proceeding of the Austrian General, than he immediately closed his office, and sent him his resignation. M. Haller, the President of the Senate, followed his example, and likewise threw up his commission. General Kaufman, dreading the consequences of this manifestation of public opinion, forwarded the resignations to Vienna, and deemed it expedient to liberate the young men without subjecting them to the humiliation of a public execution. It is gene rally believed here that the Austrian Consul in our city is in the pay of Russia. Is this the case, or is it a report circulated by the Austrian Government to deceive the people, and attach the odium of the tyrannical system practised towards Cracow on Russia? It is impossible for us to decide ; but the conduct of the despots in respect to us will give you the measure of what they would do else where if they dared. May our evils,, at least, serve as a salutary warning to those who, like Switzerland, are power ful enough to defy and resist their threats, and reject their perfidious insinuations. GREECE. ATHENS, AUG. 18.—After the conclusion of the nego tiations relative to the Bank had been delayed, in conse quence of unfavourable reports of the internal state of Greece, spread in foreign countries by some Greek Jour nals, we at length received a few days ago the joyful news of the final settlement of this affair. After the information given in London—partly in an official manner, partly from credible private sources—Mr. Wright has accepted the proposals made by the Greek Government, and signed the contract. This news revived the spirit of those who had already become apprehensive, and reports of various specu lations were the first result. Happily the news coincides with the time of the execution of the Law on Dotations. 23,000 families have announced themselves according to the Law on Dotations. On the lowest estimate the pay ment of interest and annuities will bring into the Treasury 23- millions of drachmas annually ; so that this branch of receipt alone will pay the interest of the National Debt.

Bogdannoff, a Russian commissioner, left this place last week for Silistria, in order to superintend the evacuation, which, according to the sti pulations of the convention, should take place this day, or the 25th August, old style. The whole of the debt to Russia having been liquidated, there can exist no pretext for deferring it. The Porte has received further advices from Essad Ef fendi, who had reached Erzeroum on his return to Constan tinople. Upon witnessing the formidable preparations of Mohammed Schah, who was about to command in person the expedition to Herat, and having been informed that our Ambassador (Mr. Ellice) had protested against it, as tend ing to compromise the safety and tranquillity of our Indian frontier, he conceived that he was only acting in the spirit of his instructions, as envoy of the Porte, to hdraw from a Court where so little respect was paid to British interests, which it had been one of the chief objects of his mission to countenance and support. His conduct has been cordially approved of by the Sultan ; and this is only one out of many instances I could cite in which his Highness has shown a disposition to conciliate the esteem and friendship of our Government. On a com plaint lodged by Lord Ponsonby against a monopoly which Hussein Bey, the rapacious Governor of Smyrna, was about to establish on figs, it was at once prohibited by the Porte. I have already noticed the mission of Reschid Bey, the most distinguished and accomplished of Turkish diplomatists, to London ; in short everything indicates the best possible dispositions on the side of the Porte, if our Cabinet only take the right way of improving them. Let them beware, above all things, of mistaken lenity. It is a hundred to one that it will not be rightly appreciated, or construed into weakness ; whereas the noble firmness dis played by Lord Ponsonby, in a matter not regarding our interests, but the dignity of the nation, and the rights of individuals, is in every way calculated to produce the most favourable impressions with respect to British honour and determination. In the meanwhile Achmet Pacha is waiting, in no enviable state of mind, the arrival of the English courier who is to decide his fate. He has been already nominated Pacha of Broussa, so that if the British Government insist on his , dismissal from the palace and councils of the Sultan, there will already exist a plausible pretext for his sequestration. The Reis Effendi has been turned out ; Logethete,:his coadjutor, disgra ce d, and the Greek Patriarch, a zealo us labourer in the same vineyard, threatened with a summary reward of his t reasons. The Sultan appears determ ined to listen to Russian dic tation and interference no longer, and to punish the in strument; by which she endeavours to coerce him. Eight Pachas were last week elevated t o th e ran k of Mushin, or Councillor of State, and among them Tahir, the Captain Pacha, and Moustapha, Pacha of Adrianople. I undertand that a beautiful selection of the celebrated m arbles of this country is now making as a present from the Sultan to his . Majesty William the Fourth. An extensive fire , took pla ce l ast n i g h t at C onstantinople ; the whole or the Stationers' ward, containing upwards of 50 houses, was wholly destroyed. M. Stevenson, iu " The Twelve Moneths, Lond., 1661, -1t0.," mentions the following superstition They say, so manic dayes old the moon is on Michaelmas-day, so many floods after.'• Mr. Bentley of Rochester, a gentleman well known throughout the neighbouring county of Kent, has addressed a letter to a Maidstone paper, in which he says of the Tithe Commutation law :--" That the tithe-payers in vain look for any provision to reder the measure desirable to them. The object of the law is to secure to the tithe owners, by a rent charge upon the land, the full value of the tithes upon an ave rage of the seven years preceding Christmas, 183. There is nothing in the law to make it beneficial to the land-owners ; but much to ren4r it pregnant with danger to their interests, by saddling their states with a rent-charge, which pre:orbly, at no very distant period, may in many instances absorb nearly all the rent." A postscript to Tait's Magazine says that " the Reformers of Edinburgh are about to invite their distinguished townsman, Lord Brougham, to a public dinner, upon the happy occasion of his restoration to health. This (adds Tait) appears a spontaneous movement, spreading among all classes of Reformers in the northern metropolis." The ofNTeLerassdtalye:unoden askingr-Lv nle, rang merrily nearly th b e e whole what joyful event w as thus celebrated , we were informed th at a y oung couple had been marr ied i n the m orning, under the following &cunt lls of stances t --A party were keeping the wakes on the. previous evening, and the subject of matrimony being introduced, a young man said he should not mind being married in the morn ing if he could meet with a wife, and some one would advance money to pay the fees.
