AL. the Wa ' Anchor no , retary read the report, which stag iat the tolls of the bridge were on the increase, which, since the last half year amounted to 9,087/., being an increase of 2,566/. over the corresponding period of the preceding year. This might partly be accounted for by the increase of traffic occasioned by the stoppage of Westminster-bridge. Thjs circumstance enabled the managing Directors to make a Aiiidend'of 12s. on each annuity. The Company also proposidlb go to Par liament to obtain a Bill to enable them to tom an enbank ment or public terrace on the banks of the Thames, which would greatly enhance the value of their property. The . managers also anticipated a further source-bf revenue by the removal of the several toll-gates on the Surrey new roads. which would take place this year ; and also from the forma tion of the new street from Long-acre to Charlotte-street, Bloomsbury, which was in a great state of forwardness. The report was confirmed, and adopted. ROMEO COATES, Esq., said he had a very important motion to make. He observed that Waterloo-bridge wag the finest structure of the kind in the world, but it was .similar to the Irishman's benefit, it was all loss, and ne,gain ; he con sidered that this bridge should be open. to the. public, it being one of the finest ornaments to the metropOiis. This was the age of speculation. The bridge had:cost two millions of MOW—he proposed to sell it, as the, 'shopkeepers say, at " a tremendous sacrifice"—(Loud lanOter)—in fact, to get rid of h" at half price." His plan *as as follows :—to issue a million of tickets, at 21s. each, and that the prizes should be limited to fifty ; the fortunate holders should, by the terms of the lottery, make the best bargain they could, and sell the bridge to Government, on the conditiou that it should be thrown open to the public. The CHAIRMAN reminded Mr. Coates that, to be enabled to do this, theymust have an - Act of jexliament to authorise the proposed lottery. Mr. COATES—Certainly, which could easily be procured. The Cirmumart said the present meeting was not competent to entertain the motion, due notice of which ought to have been given, so that a special general meeting of proprietors might be called on the subject. • Mr. Corns fully concurred, and said he would cause a, special meeting to be summoned, for which purpose he would withdraw bis motion. A PROPRIETOR—The expenses of the bridge are frightful. " It costs us more than 20,000/. per year; this is paying too dear for our whistle. I think Mr. Coates's plan an excellent one, and shall support it when brought forward. A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. THIMBLE-RIGGERS EVADING THE Lkw.—The in dustrious, although it cannot be said honourable, fraternity of • thimble-riggers have set to work to evade the law relative to their vocation as defined by Sir James Graham, and their success was exhibited on many parts of the road from ' • Windsor to the Slough railway station on Wednesday last. The instructions to the police were, to remove or destroy the • tables on which the pea and thimble movements were pets formed, which they have literally effected ; but the thimble riggers now substitute a small board, appearing only about one foot square, and half an inch thick, and sitting down on the road side, perform their sleight-of-hand movements upon it while resting on their knees. At one part of the road three thimble -riggers were actively engaged within twenty Yards of each other, surrounded by numerous country people, losing their cash like simpletons, and becoming the laughing stocks of the more cautious spectators. The thimble-riggers had evidently parties, in league with them, placed at the e andS v i i r l, J u ale s s s G b r e al; ai p u r e w p i a l l re fi d n t d o i e t m i i m il o p 3 o , turns of the road to announce the approach of their enemies, ss th ib e le mo t u o nt p ed ut P d ol o i li ce n tail , and empower them to seize the new portable pea boards when found in the possession of parties using them for the purpose of cheating others. NEW Timmy or CONSUMPTION.—We are re quested to notice that This Evening : (Friday), at Half past Eight, Dr. Cronin, physician to the Strand Dis pensary for Consumption, nearly opposite Exeter ' Hall, will give, at the Mechanics' Institution, Chanceerkba, a Lecture, explanatory of his views as to the Cause of C,cl4 - sumption, and the mode of Treatment which he has suc cessfully introduced into practice in the treatment of this distressing ` malady. THE MURDER AT WESTON-SUPER-MARE.—Sub- Sequently to the date of the report, which we published in our yesterday's impression, an inquest was held upon the body of the murdered woman. The evidence of the servant, Ann Evans, who was the principal witness, added no new facts to Those detailed in our report, except some particulars of the last quarrel, in which the murderer and his wife were engaged, and the constant repetition of threats which he at last fatally put in execution. After the several witnesses had been examined, the prisoner was called in to hear the evidence. He said it was just, and added, "I did not wish to punish her. I saw she fetched breath. I knew it would happen some time or other, but was in hopes that I should have been kept from it." The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against Joel Fisher, who was then, com mitted for trial. IRoN LIGUTHCANE FOR BERMUDA. — A guiding light is about to be thrown over the waters of the " vexed Bermuthes," from the lantern of a cast-iron lighthouse, which has just been constructed at the foundry of Messrs. Catam and Hallen, Cornwall-road, Lambeth. The lighthouse is put together, with the exception of the lantern, and was yester day shown to several scientific gentlemen. It is at present 108 feet high, and when surmounted with the lantern its height will be increased thirty feet. The structure is com posed of plates of cast-iron, which are fastened together by iron bolts and screws, and it is ascended by an internal cir cular staircase. The diameter of the lighthouse at the bottom is twenty-four feet, which gradually diminishes to fifteen feet at the top, where the lantern is to be fixed. The weight of the whsle is about 250 tons. It will occupy about six weeks to take the structure to pieces and pack it ; and it is expected that after the foundation has been made for its reception, the lighthouse may be erected on the place of its final destination in two months. A BOY BURIED ALIVE.--Yesterday afternoon. Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Bricklayers' Arms, New North road, Hoxton, on the body of Samuel Nash, aged five years. It appeared by the evidence that on Sunday afternoon last the deceased went out to play near some hi:hues which are now in the course of erection in Devonshire-street, and' only a short distance from his parents' dwelling. Not returning at night, his parents became alarmed, and search was made for him, which proved unavailing, until Sunday evening, when a man named Cooke, recollected having seen the boy on the Saturday playing near a sand-pit, and suggested that as there was a quantity of loose soil which had evidently re cently been formed by the falling in of the bank, the deceased might be buried underneath. The earth was immediately removed, when the deceased was found lying on his back— of course quite dead, there being upwards of half a ton weight upon him. Mr. Baker, a surgeon, said death had been caused by suffocation. There was no evidence to show how the ac cident occurred, but it is supposed the child had got into the pit which had been dug for the purpose of procuring sand, and having been undermined, had suddenly fallen and buried him beneath. The jury returned a verdict of—" Found dead, apparently from suffocation." THE tEVIEW AT WINDSOR.—In consequence of - - the extremely delicate and highly interesting situation of our beloved Sovereign, strict orders were given by the Duke of Wellington, the Commander-in-Chief, that, at the grand review in Windsor Great Park, on Wednesday, no firing should take place until after her Majesty and the infant Royal Family had taken their departure from the ground. By some unfortunate error, however, these instructions were so totally mistaken, that almost immediately upon the Queen appearing in front of the line, her Majesty was received by a royal salute from the artillery on the right flank. This error, : as may easily be imagined, was extremely annoying to the Duke, who had imagined that he had taken every precaution to prevent her Majesty from being in the least inconve nienced. We are extremely gratified, however, in-being en abled to state that the Queen suffered no inconvenience, but laughed very heartily at the "mistake," when informed of it by his Grace.—Post. UNITED HILLS MINE COMPANY.—Yefsterday the annual meeting of this Company took place at the office, in Adamscourt, Old Broad-street, Mr. Robert Clarke in the 'chair. The Secretary read the report of the Directors, from which it appeared that the profit on the United Hills pit, during the last year, had been 7061. ss: 9d., but which was more than absorbed in the necessary outlay for the new mine of Wheal Sparrow ; in addition to which, upwards of 7001. had been paid for the purchase of Wheal Fanny and Wheal Charles, which mines were as yet unproductive of profit. On the whole adventure, therefore, there was a balance against the Company of 3441. 14s. 4d. The balance of outlay for the year on Wheal Sparrow was 8691. 3s. 10d., but the in creasing-monthly returns from this mine justifies the Direc tors in the.belief that in a few months it would be totally extinguished, and that Wheal Sparrow would then become a source of considerable profit. The Directors truged at their next meeting to present a much more favourablb statement of their affairs, as the expenses now incurred were for open ing out extensive ore ground, which would furnish the means of a very profitable return. The report having been adopted, thanks were voted to the Chairman and Directors, .when the meeting adjourned. We have authority for stating, that the royal en tertainment to the Emperor of Russia and the King of Sa xo n takes place this evening, and not on Saturday, as h_n represented.

The Duke of Wellington immediately took off his hat, and waving it in the air, said to the people,in the most earnest manner possible, "No, no ; not me, the Emperor, the Em peror !" This hint also was immediately taken, and his Im perial Majesty was greeted most enthusiastically as he rode into the Long Walk, which the Emperor acknowledged 'with his usual courteous urbanity. ell of The Emperor of Russia takes his f t o y London on Monday morning next.

They know they have to contend with the power of the Government —the personal friendship of the Liberal party for the Unitarians, whose pecuniary interests aro so deeply involved, and whose illegal mis-appropriations it is Intended to protect—and with the exertions made by the Roman Catholics In Ireland, and their petitions for the measure at the bidding of their priests—yet they dare not abandon their resistance, nor will they yield to'despalr. Encouraged by 1,169 petitions against the Bill since Wednesday last—by a meeting of merchants and bankers at the Mansion-house, with the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor in the chair—by a petition signed by 136 clergymen in the metropolis within 48 hours—by another from the Archdeacon of Wells, with 125 of his clergy—by another from more than 180 Irish barristers --by the unanswerable legal pamphlets published and decidedly approved of by judges and lawyers of very high rank and authority—the Committee are resolved to persevere and invite those unabated, energetic, persevering, and universal exertions by peti tions, public meetings, and correspondence with Members and Peers, which arc indispensable for asueeessful resistance in a struggle which perhaps never was paralleled in importance, whether reKard be had to the preservation of charities, the protection of established law from innovation, or of the maintenance of the most sacred and hallowed doctrines of our holy religion and of the Christian faith.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The failure of Messrs. Thomas Johnson and Co., bankers at Romford, was advised in the City this morning. The concern is, it appears, by no means a large one ; but, nevertheless, much inconvenience is expected to arise on the spot, the notes having some what extensively found their way into circulation. A Correspondent refers to some material features of the savings' banks question, which have yet obtained but a small share of public notice. Admitting to the full extent stated the loss sustained by the Government in keeping up these institutions, allowance should also be made for the large sum which goes back to the Govern ment, under the head of " Separate surplus fund," and a much greater amount, which will also fall in as un claimed balances. The difference between the interest received from the Government and that paid to the de- ' positors, after deducting the expenses of management, constitutes the " surplus fund" of each bank. All of them, in their annual report to the Commissioners, state the amount of that fund for the year ; and the Commis sioners, after allowing something to remain as a balance in the hands of the bank, appropriate the remainder. By a return of this item made lately to Parliament, and moved for by Mr. Masterman, its amount was shown to be 368,000/. fur the whole period. The unclaimed balances are believed to •be a much more important item. It is well known that a large number of de positors keep entirely secret the fact that they have fun so placed, and as deaths are constantly occurring, there are innumerable cases in which they are not ap plied for, or not recovered when they are so, for want of leg,aLgvidg.nce. Most of the savings banks of long stand ing are aware that large sums stand in their books-kr which no application has been made for years • and, in fact, suggestions have been made on this head to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that he should order re turns to be made by the trustees of savings' banks gene• rally, of all balances which have been ten years without any change or claim. This would be to adopt the same 'course as that practised at the Bank of England in re-' g a p r ( r ) p o d t x o t ounnyc yield e a d m a e d di ld largeri s e u n En d s t 0 , a t n h d e i G v o o u v l e d r n probably ment The i s n e suggestions are well worthy of attention, for the system is a very interesting one, and should have support even at some loss to the nation. If there have occurred great abuses under it which a little more vigilance might have prevented, it is unfair to punish the innocent .for the guilty, which the new measure about to be introduced will certainly de. The rate of interest to the depositor should not be less than 3 per cent.; and the limitation of deposits to 1501, and of deposits and interest united to 2001., seems to be a fair one, which there is no neces sity for altering. Attention is most urgently required to the prevention, by restraining clauses, of any evasion of that limit, and it is believed that there would not then remain any just complaint of the expense to the nation of maintaining these institutions. SUN.—There was a slight decline this afternoon in the value of Consols, but there were very few operations The rates were 981 to Bank Stock touched 200. In the Foreign Market, also, there was a slightly re trogfade movement. .Spaiiish Actives left off at 23 to * ; and the .

THE EMPEROR or Russu.—ln consequence cm *6 visit to our shores of the Autocrat of all the Russias, every one is naturally anxious to know something of his history ; and some ' very curious information may be found in a couple of papers which have appeared in the April and June Numbers of the New Monthly Magazine, where the Emperor's personal history is detailed, with some extraordinary revelations respecting the present state of his dominions, his nobles, his serfs, and servants. They are said to be written by one who passed several years in various parts of that colossal empire, and had innumerable opportunities of studying the character of its powerful ruler. They bear the stamp of *truth upon them, and cannot fail to be read with the deepest interest. A VESSEL MN DOWN.—Late on Sunday night a collision took place on the river in Erith-reach, which resulted in the wreck . of a fine fishing smack, named the Jolla Wal lace. The Sapphire, the Diamond Company's Gravesend steamer, was proceeding on •her last passage down from London, when on nearing the reach the fishing-smack, which was beating down, made an attempt to cross her bovis. The steamer being one of the fastest boats on the river, and her engines being at full speed at the time, the tide also running down, it was a matter of impossibility for the master, Captain Fox, to bring her up at the instant. The paddles were as quickly as possible stoPped and reversed, and the crew called out to those on board the smack to alter their course, but in the next instant a collision took place, and in a few seconds the fishing vessel went down in deep water. The crew, how ever, were. saved. At low-water the mast of the smack is just visible ; and in the course of yesterday two lighters were moored near the wreck, and it "is expected that she will be raised in the course of to-day. COSTS ON CONVICTIONS. —Yesterday a further re turn from the clerks of petty sessions was printed, stating the amount of fees received, number of convictions, and the amount of costs. Tht costs are very unequally borne ; in some cases the costs exceed the amount of the fines imposed, with farther costs for sending the offenders to prison. There are instances set forth where the costs are considerably un der the fines, but in other's the costs are considerably beyond the fines. At the Cambridgeshire Petty Sessions, a person was fined 6d. for an assault, and the costs amounted to 145. 6d. ; in another case in Berks, the fine was Is., and the fu 1 d Os. 6d. At the Gateshead Borough Sessions for a wilful damage, in which a fine of 21. was imposed, the costs were 3/. At another sessions, for an offence under the Game Act, a fine of 21. was fixed, and the costs 21.85. The return in question was moved for by Lord Worsley, and affords a good deal of information respecting costs of convictions, which has occupied some attention. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—Preparations on an extended scale are making at the Italian Opera-house, for the reception of her Majesty and her illustrious guests, who will honour this theatre with their presence to-morrow even ing. The three illustrious Sovereigns, with their respective suites, will occupy her Majesty's box, as well as the box:of her Majesty the Queen Dowager. We understand that enormous sums are being paid for boxes and stalls, so great is the anxiety to be present on this occasion. His Imperial Majesty having expressed a desire to hear the Barbiere, that delightful opera will be performed, and will be followed by the ballet, Ondine. EXETER HALL.—llaydn's beautiful work, the Creation, is to be performed by the Sacred Harmonic Society this evening (Friday), for the last time this season. HAYM4RKET THEATRE.—His Excellency the Ame rican Minister and family attended this theatre last night, expressly to witness the performance of Professor Risley and his two infant sons. His Excellency was highly delighted with the extraordinary and graceful performance, and upon its conclusion presented the two little prodigies with a hand some present. This week is the last in which they will ap • pear in England, having received a munificent offer from the manager of one of the principal theatres in Paris. ROBBERY or A POST- orncE.—Yesterday morn ing information was given that the post receiving -house, near Hoxton new church, had been broken into and robbed. The postmaster is Mr. Bray, a hairdresser, who' keeps a small ship, No. 2, Haberdasher-place, adjoining the Haberdashers' Arms Tavern, and only five houses distant from the police station of the N division, in Robert-street. Upon inquiry it was stated that the entry had been effected from the yard through the back parlour window, to which there was no fastenings, and the thief had then merely to walk into the shop, where he broke open and abstracted the contents of a small writing-desk behind the counter. Mr. Bray stated that the desk contained about 76/., two 5/. and a 10/. Bank of England notes in an old pocket-book, and the rest in cash , of which 42/. belonged to himself, and the remainder to the Post-office, but unfortunately he had not the numbers or any description of the Bank notes. The letter-box, which was locked, was undisturbed, and the desk containing the money appeared to be the only article in the place that had been touched. There were lodgers in the upper part of the house, and Mr. Bray and his family slept in the kitchen, imme diately under the shop, but not any of them heard any noise in the night, or until six o'clock yesterday morning, when a paper-hanger, who had some work to do on the premises, found the shop-door a-jar, and walking in, 'gave the alarm. The back of the house is so surrounded that access could only be had from the yard of the Haberdashers' Arms, or by scaling a high wall surmounted by palisades, and passing over seve ral intervening yards and walls. The robber having appa rently entered that way, and obtained possession of the money, let himself out at the front door. THE SUPPOSED MURDER AT WlMBLEDON.—Yes terday, at twelve o'clock, Charles Hall, plasterer, of Wimble don, who stands charged with the murder of Charlotte Hall, his wife, was conveyed from the lock-up of Sevenoaks by Joseph Bradley, the superintendent of police, to the offices of Messrs. Austen and Holcroft, the clerks to the local ma gistrates, and placed in the dock, before Mr. Atkins, for re examination, upon a charge of having murdered his wife by suffocation. The evidence, which was taken at great length, was, with some slight exceptions, relating chiefly to threats of violence on the part of the prisoner towards his wife, very similar to that adduced at the inquest on the body, when the jury returned a verdict that the deceased flied from na tural causes. At the conclusion of the investigation, Mr. Charnock, who was for the defence, expressed his opinion that there was no necessity for him to address the bench, as lie felt satisfied that there was no case against his client. Mr. Atkins, however, said that lie had fully resolved upon com mitting the prisoner for trial ; and Mr. Charnock, therefere, in an able speech, contended that there was nothing in the evidence which in the least degree tended to establish the charge against the prisoner. H all was then committed to an M a id s tone Gaol, the charge against him being for " feloni ously choking, strangling, d su ff o cating Charlotte Hall, his wife." MR. DUNCAN THE AFRICAN TRIVELLER.—Mr. John Duncan, the African traveller, left town yesterday by railway for Portsmouth, to embark in her Majesty's ship Cygnet, which sails immediately for the coast of Africa. Mr Duncan will land at Cape Coast, and from thence his purpc is to reach the Niger by the way of Coomasie. • Great add, tions to geographical knowledge may be expected' from Mr. Duncan's tried energy and perseverance. He leaves London under very favourable auspices. IRELAND. MR. OICONNELL IN PRISON. Dunt,m, JUNE s.—Yesterday, as wellias on every previous day since the sentence, considerable numbers of our most re spectable citizens, including many Liberals who are not re pealers, such as Archbishop Murray, Mr. Purcell, Mr. Ber wick, &c., left their names at the Richmond Bridewell. This day, in accordance with the published notification, no visitors were admitted. Some surprise has been caused by the non appearance of any address from Mr. O'Connell since his in carceration; but in this respect Mr. O'Connell is not a free agent, inasmuch as the prison regulations, as interpreted by the committee of superintendence, prohibit the issuing of any Dontical document. THE WRIT OF ERROR. The assignment of error, in the case of the Queen v. O'Con nell and others, was handed in before the rising of the Court of Queen's Bench. The Freeman's Journal of this day says : " The Crown have now, upon this proceeding, to enter a joinder in demurrer, which they may take four days to do, but which it is expected they will forthwith enter, and then the Court will be called upon to decide. Of course that deci sion will only be pro forma, because the points relied on in the assignment have already been ruled by the Court against the traversers. The decision thus come to will be entered on the record, and new writs of error will be then brought upon the whole record, on behalf of each of the defendants below. This process, unless any unforseen delay shall shall be given on the part of the Crown, will be complete before the termi nation of this week,, and the writs will be dispatched to the House of Lords before the commencement of the next. It may not be here out of place to state that there can be no error assigned upon the celebrated charge of the Chief Jus tice, dor upon the fact that evidence which, in law was ad missible as against certain traversers only, had been per mitted to go the jury as against all. These matters can not appear upon the record, and, therefore, cannot come under the judicial cognizance of a court of error, whose province it LS to correct errors in the record. The counsel for the ' con spirators' are dolfifiW,) thing in- their power to speed the final decision in the case." TOPULAR DEMONSTRATIONS THBOIJOHOUT THE _ COUNTRY. • The following reports are abridged from the provincial journals received this day : COUNTY OF KERRY. • TRALEE.—A preparatoiy meeting was held on .Monday in the Chamber of. Commerce, the Rev. Mr. O'Flaherty in the chair, when a requisition was drawn up and numerously signed, convening a meeting for Sunday next in the square, to express their condolence and sympathy with and for Mr. O'Connell on the injustice of his incarceration. KILLARNEY.—A correapondent thus writes :—" The most numerous and respectable meeting I ever witnessed in Kil larney was held to-day (Sunday), in the Court-house, Denis Shine Lawlor, Esq., in the chair, to express sympathy with the imprisoned patriots; and to mark the deep indignation of the people against the injustice of the sentence that con signed them to a dungeon. Resolutions with that view were passed, and to 'morrow all work ceases, and tin shops are to he oloesol. CABERCIVEEN.—The inhabitants of Caherciveen are to meet on Thursday next, to denounce the prosecution and the injustice of the late proceedings in the Queen's Bench. LISTOWEL.—The people of Listowel had their shop windows closed on receiving the intelligence of the Lib rator's incareeration.—Kerry ft Examiner. COUNTY OF KILKENNY. CALLAN, SUNDAY ENTMNG.—The most numerous meeting e ver held in Callan took place in the parish chapel-yard, fer the purpose of adopting measures suitable to the present crisis. There could not have been, at the smallest calcula tion, less thin 5,000 persons present. The temperance band was in attendance, with their instrnments muffled with black crape. Arrangements were made for setting on foot the col lection of the repeal rent. After giving three cheers for O'Connell and his hrother martyrs, Repeal, for Smith O'Brien,and the Queen , the meeting separated.—Kilkenny Journal. Crry . OF KILKENNY. —In accordance with a requisition numerously signed, directed to the Mayor, a meeting was held •on Saturday last, in the Tholsel, for the purpose of adopting an address, to be presented to Mr. O'Connell, on the occasion of his imprisonment. After the adoption of resolu tions, -the meeting separate& having given three cheers for O'Connell and Repeal.—Kilkenosy Journal. A prayer was offered at each of the chapels of the Arch diocese of Cashel, by the direction of the Archbishop, for the safe delivery of the Liberator from his captivity. The clergy of the diocese of Killaloe have resolved to sent through their enlightened and patriotic Prelate their subscriptions to the Repeal Association, in the course of next week.—Tipperary Vindicator. COUNTY OF TIPPERARY. NENAGII.—It having been announced that an adjourned meeting was to take place in the Temperance-hall, at two o'clock on Sunday, for the purpose of organising the vigor ous collection of the repeal rent, that spacious building was thronged to excess long before the appointed hour. IVhen the gentlemen who were to take part In the proceedings ar rived, the crowd became so dense that it was found necessary to adjourn to the church. Even that edifice was hardly suffi cient to accommodate the immense multitude who had assembled. On the motion of T. Fitzpatrick, Esq., solicitor, the Rev. Nicholas Power, C.C., was called to the chair. After an argumentative and eloquent speech, the Rev. Gen tleman called upon every man to contribute to the repeal fund, and raise up such a treasury as 'would, convince their Tory rulers that repeal was not dead. Sixty-three gentlemen came forward and paid 11. each, after which smaller subscrip tions poured in from all parts of the meeting. Men, women, and children contributed ; never in the course of our lives did we witness such enthusiasm ; the minds of the people are worked up to the highest state of excitement; they think of nothing, speak of nothing but O'Connell. The various trades of Nenagh have contributed separately—all grades and classes are animated by the same feelings. It is calculated that by the end of the present week the amount of repeal rent collected in Nenagh will exceed 1001. RoscuEA.—There was a parochial meeting . on Sunday to express sympathy with the Liberator on his imprisonment; the Very Rev. T. Blake in the chair; E. S. Egan, Esq., Se cretary. It was decided that as soon as the repeal rent was collected (in about a week) that a deputation should proceed to. Dublin to present an address to Mr. O'Connell. TEMPLEMORE. — A meeting of the people of Templemore, Killeagh, and Clonmore, was held on Sunday in the chapel yard here, to address our beloved Liberator. THURLES.— . A. most numerous meeting was held in this town, at which spirited and energetic resolutions were adopted. BORRISOLEMIL — The repealers of Borrisoleigh held a pre paratory meeting on Sunday, and will hold a general meet ing of the parish on Thursday, to determine on the best means of testifying their sympathy with the Liberator in his impri sonment. Never on any former occasion was the feeling of the people so thoroughly alive to the painful but inspiriting position of the repeal cause as at present. CLosmEL, SUNDAY EVENING.—The meeting to-day was one of the most enthusiastic ever held in this town. The spirit of nationality has been never more earnestly manifested. Clonmel will send nearly 2001. to the fund. Cannicir-ox-Surn.— A very crowded and respectable meeting of the inhabitants of this town and its vicinity was held on Sunday, at the Town-hall, to express the popular sympathy and condolence with the Liberator and his fellow martyrs. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed. The meeting separated, giving three cheers for O'Connell. FETHARD.—Archdeacon Laffan, the ever - vigil ant patriot, heads the people here. The meeting on Sunday was most enthusiastic. A great collection will be made in sustainment of the national treasury. HOLY-CltOsS.—The Rev. Michael Laffan presided at the meeting here on Sunday, and addressed the assembled mul titude in a most effective speech. BALLYCAHILL.—A most numerous meeting was held in this parish, Mr. Michael Moylan, head repeal warden, in the chair. The Rev. John Molony having been requested to act as secretary, ascended the platform, and soon after read aloud and solemnly the sentence on the Liberator and the other traversers, and told in simple and affecting language the cir cumstance of O'Connell's daughters meeting their venerable parent at the prison door, and welcoming him there for the love of country. The tears were seen streaming down in all parts of the meeting, and great sensation continued for some minutes. The Rev. Gentleman then read the addresses of Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Smith O'Brien. " For you (he con tinued) these addresses were unnecessary. Peace and agita tion you would have without them. I know you all well, and sure am I not one of you is even dreaming of anything but peace and constitutional agitation. Did you ever love O'Connell as you do to-day ?—(Cries of ' Never.') were you ever so determined to make such sacrifices, and to be always led and said by him ?—(Cries of ' Never.) I be lieve you. Though agitation, meetings, and resolutions are just now excellent things, they will not do without the shil lings. The fines for all must be pail. The funds of the Repeal Association must be supplied.—(Cries of You shall have the shillings in abundance next Sunday.')" The meeting separated with loud cheers for O'Connell and Repeal. CAsam—Under the presidency of the Venerable Dean M'Donnell, a most influential meeting was held on Sunday, and a series of admirable resolutions adopted, with a deter mination to collect the repeal rent immediately.—Tipperary Vindicator'. COUNTY OF LIMERICK. A requisition is in the course of signature for presentation to the High Sheriff, Richard Quin Sleeman , Esq , on an early day, for the purpose of convening a public meeting of the county, to .express their opinions on the State Trials gene rally, but particularly on the in carceration of our beloved Liberator.—Limerick .Reporter.

The victim, in this instance, was James Stapleton, lately a resident in this town, and the supposed cause of this cruel deed was the circumstar ce of Ins having taken a small farm of seven acres, out of which one Michael Conway was evicted. Sir William Lynar, R.M., found the murdered man lying inside a ditch, horribly muti lated. None of the neighbouring people went near the re mains of Stapleton, nor could they be induced to do so—the fact, as they alleged, being, that he had taken the groundout of which others had been thrown. It appeared at the inquest that Stapleton was first fired at—that he ran off, and having been overtaken inside the ditch to which he fled for protec tion, his assailants beat in the back part of his head with a heavy iastrument, supposed to be the stock of a gun, a por tion of which was found in the poor man's hand. It is said that a child passing at the time heard the cries of poor Stapleton begging the murderers to spare his life and he would quit the land ; but this appears to us perfectly apo cryphal. An immediate search was instituted by Sir Wm. Lynar and the police, the result of which was that four per sons named Conway were arrested ; but nothing more than mere suspicion attaches to them. The police buried Staple ton, and a guard of police is placed over the cattle on his - I ground.—Tipperary Vindicator, iose ----- The mortal remains of the late Marchioness of Bristol were interred in the family mansoleum at Ickwortb, near,Bury St. Edmund's, on IVednesday, in the presence of all 0; pesibers of her lady4i,ip's 131114. DUTCH MAIL. THE HAGUE, JUNE 3.—The central section of the Second Chamber will meet to-morrow, to begin the com position of its report on the project of law for the con version of the debt. _ _ RorrEnDem, JUNE 3.—The day before yesterday, in the afternoon, his Royal Highness Prince Henry set out in his Majesty's steamer, the Leeun, to Flushing, to em bark on board the Rhine frigate. THE HAGUE, JUNE 4. — The King arrived at Rotter dam yesterday evening at eight o'clock, and im me di a tely afterwards went on board the Leeun steamer, which had returned. His Majesty is gone to Flushing, to take leave of Prince Henry, Commander of the squadron, which is ready for Bair FRANKFORT, MAY 31.--Letters from Poland say that the state of is things in the Ottoman empire becomes every day more complicated, and that the intervention of Rus sia inevitable. Things-have come to such a pass, that either the Cross or the Crescent must disappear in Turkey ; it is to be presumed that Europe will not permit Chris tianity to be expelled. Russia alone can take upon: it self to execute such an operation, and this operation may be nearer than is supposed. As for the going of the Emperor to England, it is well known that his Majesty takes delight in such surprises, which' shows the friendly nature of such visits, which, without 'pomp and ostentation, proceed only from per sonal friendship 'and esteem. • ON THE CURRENCY QUESTION (FROM A COREESPONDELIT.) • It is rather surprising that the measures lately proposed by her Majesty's Ministers for the future regulation of the Cur tkency should have been received with such general approba tion by all parties. We can only account for this favourable reception of the .Gevernment project by supposing that few persons are disposed to go very deeply into currency ques tions at all. If, hoWever, it was more generally known that the,property of all men fluctuated with the variations of the curiency, this sdbject would command very general attention. The Government measures' hare' been so fully discussed in the newspapers that it would be quite superfluous to go through them again in detail. The chief subject, however, under consideration must not be omitted—the note circulation. This resolves itself into two divisions—the note circulation of the Bank of England, and the note circulation of private and joint-stock banks. The former is now to be limited to 14,000,0001. upon securities, and to an additional sum vary ing with the deposit of bullion in possession of the Bank. This deposit of bullion at the present time is about 16,000,000/. ; therefore, the Bank of England, under the new regulation, may issue notes to the 'amount of 30,000,0001., or about 8,000,0001. above the present amount of its circulation. The bank of issue is to be distinct from the general banking department, and the profits of the circulation above 14,000,000/. are to accrue to Government, and the general banking department must hand over bullion to the bank of issue for all notes it requires be yond the sum of 14,000,000/. We have here an attempt at providing for the exigencies of the country, and a security to the public for all notes issued by the bank, in the shape of a deposit of bullion, ; but, in case of the withdrawal of that bullion, a corresponding contraction of the Bank of Eng land notes. Let us examine the natural results of this ar rangement. In times like the present, when we are suffer ing from an abundance of money, with interest running at 2 per cent. in the London market, we are liable to the further issue of 8,000,000/. of Bank notes, and the consequent reduc tion of interest to 1 per cent. In times of scarcity, when gold j an ee d ted int t e o re a st v r i u ol n e n n in t g co a n t t s ra p c e ti r on ce o n f t., th o e r circulation, thereby-increasing the rate aiosbf Bank oiivitee, orwfe leavingsEet interest, h hag e nal ald c ln o tab u h enentorsylui note circulation, difficulty of obtaining discounts, and pro ducing failure and distress throughout the whole country. This, then,. is the necessary operation of the new Govern ment measures regarding the Bank of England note circula tion. By all sound writers on the currency, it has been plainly shown, that the Bank of England has erred most during times of a full currency add favourable ex changes, by increasing her circulation of notes, and lending mo ney at very low rates of interest, instead of contracting her accommodation, and retiring from the money market until the glut of money had passed away. Ia the Govern ment project we see, instead of a check upon this evil, on the contrary, a decided opportunity granted to the Bank of Eng land to augment it. We see, also, instead of the valued power of accommodating the public by liberal assistance, in times of scarcity, an absolute, withdrawal of that power in' direct proportion as it is most likely to be required. Having said thus much on the subject of the Bank of England cir culation, we come to the second division of our subject— the circulation of the country bankers. Here we are, indeed, at a loss to imagine why the banks of Scotland and Ireland are wholly omitted from the regula tions which are proposed for the English banks of issue. If the object of Government is this, as nearly as possible to assimilate the currency of the country at large to a metallic currency, the first step should undoubtedly have been, that of withdrawing the small notes still in circulation in Scot land and Ireland; but, instead of this measure, the circa= lation of the country banks in England alone is to be subjected to an arbitrary limitation, taken from the average of the last two years' circulation—a period showing an average the lowest that could possibly be found! We object, in toto, to the charge made by the Government against the country banks of issue, that they constantly augment their notes, when the Bank of England is endeavouring to contract, her's. If they were guilty of this practice, they would certainly afford the coun try some relief during a period .of commercial pressure and difficulty ; but the circulation of country notes (not payable in London) has been shown to depend upon a certain local demand, which is regulated by the prices of agricultural and other produce, and by the payment of rent, taxes, &c, and has nothing whatever to do with the operation of Bank of England paper, which alone finds its way into the centre of trade and commerce, and adjusts the balance of all large pay ments in London, or throughout the provinces. A contrac tion of the circulation of Bank of England notes, by causing a general fall in prices, will speedily , reduce the circulation of country notes; but, above all, it should be borne in mind, that the regular exchange of country notes between banker and banker, and the general practice of allowing interest on all deposits in the country; alone prevents a country bank note from circulating any length of time. Viewing, then, the Government scheme as a whole, though attended with some advantage, we cannot but see that it its fraught with much danger and some injustice. With danger, because it will have a tendency to increase the fluctuations of interest, from extremely low to extremely high rates ; also to afford extra vagant accommodation at one time, and very h ur tf u l pres sure at another. With injustice, because it is founded upon a able to counteract the stringent false assumption that the country bankers are answerable for contrary exchanges, and _ measures of the Bank of England , whilst, if they were so, the Scotch and Irish banks are entirely left out of the ques tion, in terference. as if they were bey ond the p rovince of legislative TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Are we to have a repetition of the scenes and miseries of 1825, and nothing done to stop him in his cruel career? What, Sir, are the merchants of London about ? Why do they not instantly meet and enter their indignant protest against a measure, the miserable consequences of which, if carried, no one at present can justly estimate? It really is appalling . to think of what awaits us, and yet to witness the besotted indifference that see ms to have seized upon the pub lic mind with regard to it. I earnestly entreat you, Mr. Editor, to try by your power ful pen to awaken the whole mercantile body of this country, and endeavour, if possible, to save us from the frightful mis chief that this measure involves in it.
