MESMERIC LECTURES. THIS EVENING, Tuesday, July 29, and on THURSDAY EVENING, the 31st, Mr. SPENCER T. HALL will give LEC TURES on MESMERISM, with EXPERIMENTS, at the WEST ERN LITERARY and SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION, Leicester square, London, commencing at Half-past Eight o'clock. Tickets, One Shilling, at the Library of the Institution. AMEETING of the SOCIETY for the EMAN CIPATION of INDUSTRY was held at Exeter Hall on Tuesday, July 1, ANDREW SPOTTISWOODE, Esq., in the Chair, at which the following resolutions were moved and carried : Resolved,—First—That this Society cannot refrain from expressing its surprise and disappointment at the very unsatisfactory resolutions introduced by Lord John Russell in the House of Commons on the 26th of May, for the professed purpose of ameliorating the condition of the working classes of the United Kingdom, and of correcting the alarming evil for which his Lordship did not account, that while " the rich are growing richer, the Door are growing poorer;"—and this meeting considers that no professions of sympathy for the dis tressed condition of the labouring classes can avail anything, or be satisfactory to the country at large, so long as those classes are compelled to provide for a heavy taxation on articles of consumption in a money artificially made scarce—a regulation which confers an undue and unnatural advantage upon capital over industry. Second,—That it is the opinion of this Society that the state of actual destitution and suffering under which it is acknowledged the labouring classes, in this kingdom are now so largely suffering, in the midst of superabundant wealth, and the inexhaustible means of producing that wealth, is not owing to any fault of their own, nor to any express dispensation of Providence, but is attributable to in judicious legislation, of which the most striking example is the per nicious currency law of 1819—a measure which Sir James Graham truly and emphatically denounced as a " delusion and a fraud." Third,—That the object of the currency law of 1819 and of the monetary measures of 1844 and 1845 is to reduce the prices of pro duction to the level of gold prices, while the object of eorn laws, and of all protective laws, is to raise prices above the level of gold, in order to compensate for heavy taxation ; and thus the one object is inconsistent with, and contradictory to, the other.—That it is the intentionnf the Legislature, in levying taxes on commodities, to secure that those taxes should be paid by the consumers generally in a rise of prices; but the effect of the monetary measures before re ferred to is to prevent a rise of prices, and thus to defeat that inten tion.—That by these means a grievous wrong is inflicted on the pro ducing crosses, tne meets of which are observable in rile pauperism described by Sir James Graham as already amounting in England to full one-tenth of the population, and in the alarming de pression of the prices of agricultural produce, in consequence of which the wages of the labourer are reduced to their present low and insuffi cient rate. Fourth,—That this Society contends that the high scale of indirect taxation in this country demands a corresponding scale of prices both of labour and of the produce of labour; and that such scale of prices is incompatible with the present low fixed price of gold, which has the effect, not only of throwing upon the producers the burden of that taxation which ought to be paid by the consumers, but of perni ciously restricting the circulating medium of the country, by making it dependent on the quantity of gold in the Bank of England. Fifth,—That if gold were allowed to find its market price in the currency of the country, like all other commodities, and in obedience to the law of supply and demand, prices in the home trade would rise to a remunerating level, without affecting the prices of our foreign trade, which are now, and always must be, regulated by the market price of gold. That competition would prevent home prices from rising in such a circulating medium beyond the level that indi rect taxation justified ; a level below which it is as unjust to the pro ducer as it is dangerous to the public creditor to reduce them.—That the Government money (or Exchequer-bills) now issued for taxes in a shape and in amounts exclusively useful to the monied class, should be issued in amounts convenient for all classes—namely, in notes of one pound and upwards ; that these notes being necessarily confined within the amount of annual taxation, would be founded on and re present that property which the Government annually draws from the people in taxes, and would form the legal-tender money of the nation.—That labour would then receive its fair and reasonable re ward, while the commerce and industry of the country would be freed from their present unnecessary and injurious dependence upon foreign exchanges. Sixth,—That this Society views with horror the monstrous doc trine attributed to Sir Robert Peel in the debate on Mr. Villiers's motion upon the 10th of June, that the increasing impoverishment of the industrious classes is without remedy ; that " great wealth being found side by side with great poverty" is " inseparable from civilisation, and that civilisation in itself increases the tendency in a country towards them,"—a doctrine which would consign a large portion of our countrymen to irremediable poverty. That this Society is prepared to prove before a Committee of either House of Parliament that such a social anomaly is mainly attributable to mis taken views of the nature and uses of money, and of the laws governing the distribution of wealth; and they cannot but ascribe it to the deepest and most deplorable delusion, that in the recent dis cussions on the subject of the Corn-laws and Banking, the National Debt and Taxation, which form essential elements in both questions, have been studiously excluded. Seventh,—That petitions, representing the substance of the reso utions of this meeting, and praying for legislative inquiry into the effect of currency on prices, and on the wages of labour, be now prepared and signed by the Chairman of the Society, and be presented to the House of Lords and the House of Commons ; and that the Provisional Committee formed for the convening of this meeting be requested to place the petitions in suitable hands for presentation and support. NORTHERN LUNATIC ASYLUM, London, Colonade Hotel, Charles-street, St. James's-square, sth June, 1845. At a Meeting held on the 20th ultimo, of the Committee appointed by the County of Inverness, for promoting the erection at Inverness of a Lunatic Asylum, for Pauper and other Lunatics of the Northern Counties of Scotland ; We, the undersigned, William H. Colquhoun, Advocate, Sheriff- Substitute of Inverness-shire, and John Mackenzie, banker in In verness, were appointed a Deputation to solicit Subscriptions in Lon don, in aid of the proposed Asylum. And being now arrived here, in pursuance of our mission, we beg leave to send you some particulars regarding the proposed establish ment, In the hope that you will be pleased to give it the benefit of your support by contribution or otherwise, Under that impression, we will do ourselves the honour of waiting on you, in a day or two, to learn your determination ; but should we be so unfortunate as not to have an opportunity of seeing you personally, we hope you will be kind enough to favour us with your views, to the above address, on or before 12th instant. The primary object of the projected Institution is the accommoda tion of pauper lunatics, and of other lunatics in poor circumstances, In the northern counties of Scotland, which comprise an extent of surface equal to one-third of all Scotland, and have a population of about 250,000. Yet, with the exception of a very few cells attached to the infirmary at Inverness, there is not any provision made in all this wide district for the secure confinement or medical treatment of the Insane, the poorer classes of whom, amounting in number to up wards of 700, are left in estate of wretched destitution, either burden some to their poor relatives and paralysing their industry, or roam ing about the country in search of a precarious subsistence—pitiable on account of their calamity, often alarming and dangerous to the community from their furious conduct, at once the disgrace, the in jury, and the terror of the country. To abate this crying evil, this heart-sickening and frightful neglect and destitution, it is proposed to erect at Inverness, as the most central and convenient point, an Asylum for pauper lunatics, and for other lunatics in poor circumstances belonging to the northern coun ties. As a subsidiary and ulterior measure, provision will be made for the addition afterwards of apartments for richer classes of patients. The funds for this purpose can only be obtained by the voluntary contributions of such benevolent persons as are interested in the wel fare of the wide district of country referred to, or in the mitigation of human suffering generally. It is estimated that at least 8,0001. will be required to erect the necessary buildings, and to form a fund for the permanent endowment of the Institution. Already considerable progress has been made, principally in the North of Scotland, in pro curing subscriptions ; and hopes are confidently entertained that with Metropolitan, and perhaps Colonial aid, the necessary funds will be obtained to secure this invaluable boon for the poor, and re move one of the worst blots on the humanity of our countrymen. The ruler. for the government of the Institution will be of course de termined at a general meeting of the Subscribers, and will be Sub mitted to them on principles fitted to secure a liberal and efficient system of management, comprehending the chief official funtionariea of the district, but giving to tho. Subscribers due and ample powers of control and recommendation. We are, respectfhlly,. - Your very obedient servants H. (Signed) W. . COLQUHOUIf.

There is a little fact, however, to notice which may prevent much disappoint ment and a- good deal of pain. Sundry unprincipled persons, de sirous of sharing Meehi's good fortune without being entitled to it, have made up thousands of common strops, calling them " The Magic Strop," " The Double Magic Strop," " The Real Magic Strop," and so on, taking care not to put on " Mechi's Magic Strop." Now by noticing the name Mechi on each strop, with the address, No. 4, Leadenhall-street, London, you are sure to be right, as the law will not allow them to put Mechi's name on the spurious sort. These imitation strops are manufactured in large quantities at Sheffield, and shipped, to a considerable extent, to America and the colonies ; and it is to be feared that in too many instances the buyers are not aware they are deceived, although they find them of no use in sharp ening, which is a considerable Injury to Mechi's good name.

This line is the natural result of opening out, by an important main trunk like the South Wales Railway, a country rich in minerals, with a large and rapidly increasing population, both of which have hitherto been but imperfectly supplied with the means of transit. The numerous mines, collieries, iron, copper, tin plate, fire brick, chemical, and other works, already in operation and in course of being opened, in the Interior of South Wales, especially in the country through which this line will pass, and which are now being exten sively multiplied there, seek a more speedy and ready access to the main line than existing modes supply, and hence the necessity for' affording to the important valley between Neath and Merthyr Tydvil the most perfect means of communication, not only with the South Wales Railway, but with the ports of Neath and Swansea, the natural and legitimate outlets for the 'produce of the valley ; whence the supply of flounand other provisions from Ireland can be cheaply and expeditiously conveyed into the heart of the country. The proposed line will commence at Neath by a junction with the South Wales Railway, will continue up the Valley to near Pont Walby, thence to Merthyr Tydvil, passing within a short distance of the extensive iron works lying in that district. The advantage of the natural fall of country, being from Merthyr to Neath, calls forth a strong opinion in the following extract from the report of the Board of Trade on Railways in South Wales : «By the proposed-line (the South Wales) the principal towns and commercial emporiums, which are situated along the coast at the bottom of the valleys,. are placed upon , the main line, to which the traffic from the interior will descend—a censideiation which is very important when we recollect that a great part of this traffic will consist of heavy minerals." The Vale of Neath intersects the great coal and iron fields of South Wales, and possesses anthracite, as well as bituminous coal, in great abundance. In addition to the collieries and iron works, there are also tin works adjoining the proposed line, and valuable timber, to the extent of 4,000 . acres. ' It is unnecessary' to give a - detailed estimate of the probable re venue that will arise from the Vale of Neath Railway ; it is sufficient to say, that, in the districts between and through which it will pass, the population numbers above 80,000, depending chiefly on the sup plies now transmitted to the interior through Swansea and Neath ; that the intercourse between the above towns is such as to bear out a most favourable estimate of passenger traffic ; and that 200,000 tons "oT coal, - exclusive of other minerals, are exported annually from the Vale of Neath, finding a ready market in France, Ireland, Somerset shire, Devonshire, Cornwall, London, and other places. From these mere outlines it is evident that the increased facility of transit which this Railway will afford over the present modes of conveyance, con nected as it will be with• Swansea and Briton Ferry (the port of . Neath) by means of the South Wales Railway, will produce a cor responding increase of Production and traffic. Under the latter head, as regards passengers, may be taken into consideration the large numbers that resort to Swansea from the interior for sea bathing, and the strikingly picturesque and richly varied beauty of the Vale of Neath, with its famed waterfalls, will be a source of never-failing attraction to tourists and parties of pleasure. The most favourable opinion is entertained of the Vale of Neath Railway by almost all the landed proprietors along the line,' the majority of whom are members of the Provisional Committee, the lessees of collieries, and parties engaged in shipping; and its im portance as a profitable investment may be judged from the fact that the Neath Canal, which now traverses only half the distance of the proposed line, and affords, even to that limited extent, but imperfect accommodation, has for many years paid a large dividend to the proprietary, and the original. 1001. shares are now marketable at 3401. Prospectuses may be had, and applications for shares may be ad dressed, in the form annexed, to the Secretary, at the offices of the Company, 440, West Strand, London, and to the Solicitors in Lon don, or Neigh. ' In the allotment of the shares of the Company, a preference will be given to parties locally interested, and to the Proprietors of Shares in the South Wales Railway Company. The usual power will be taken by the Act, to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum on the amount of subscriptions paid up ; and no subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his de posit of U. 10s. per share, until the Act is obtained, and then not be yond the amount of his subscription.

Tun Goonwoon CUP.—The subject of the silver cup, which is to be run for to-day at Goodwood, is an incident in the life of Mary Queen of Scots, taken from Sir Walter Scott's " Tales of a Grandfather." When Mary, shortly after her first marriage, was threatened with an attack by the lords of the Cove nant, she is reported to have placed herself at the head of her troops, and appeared so fully prepared to receive them, that, their courage failing, they turned their horses' heads and rode off the field without making any attempt. This was called in derision " The rouud.about raid." The composition represents Mary mounted on a spirited charger. She is clad in light armour, and has pistols at her saddle bow ; an attendant is on one knee beside her, and they both seem to be watching the retreat of the foe. The group is simple in design, and in execution is in no way inferior to the many excellent specimens in this style of art for which the turf is indebted to the genius of the sculptor, Mr. Cotterill. It is mounted on a tasteful base, of ebony, richly studded with silver decorations. DREADFUL AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—Another of those frightful accidents, the consequence of gross misconduct or carelessness, that are unfortunately too frequent, occurred at the toll-house of Crossonen turnpike.gate, on the evening of Sunday, the 20th inst. Wm. Collard, the keeper of the gate, left it in the morning to the charge of a little boy, named James Prosser, and put a gun, loaded, in a corner of the house, telling Prosser that he was not to touch it, as it was loaded ; he then went away, and called at several inns, desirous of having a horse and gig, but failed. About six o'clock Wm. Prosser, a younger brother of the boy left in charge of thegate, took some food for him to the house, and coon afterwards it was discovered that Wm. Prosser had re ceived the contents of the gun in his left temple; his head was so frightfully mutilated that no hope could be entertained of his reco. very. The wretched boy was carried home, where death termi nated his sufferings the same night. An inquest was held on the body on Monday, before T. Hughes, Esq., and adjourned till Wed nesday, when, after the examination of seven witnesses, the fol lowing verdict was returned :—" That the deceased died in come. quence of a gun-shot wound, but by whom inflicted, not known." The conduct of Collard, in leaving the gate all day to the care of a little boy, .Was most reprehensible, and well deserved the repri. maid he received from Mr. Hughes.—Monmouthshire Merlin. SEWERAGE OF THE METROPOLIS. —Yesterday, a meeting of the Commissioners of Sewers for the Holborn and Finsbury divisions, Mr. Mills in the chair, was held at the Com. missioners' Rooms, Hatton.garden, when a rate of 6d. in the pound was made upon the district. The last rate, amounting to 17,6091., collected up to the 25th of April, left a balance due of only about 1,000/., the greater part of which was on account of empty houses, and it was stated by the chairman, that in conse quence of the great improvement in the health of the inhabitants of the neighbourhoods where sewers were erected, the rates were readily paid. Several sums of money were ordered to discharge contracts, and contracts were taken for some thousand feet of sewers. About 400 feet of the Fleet River, in the vicinity of the King's.road, St. Pancras, was offered to be arched over by Mr. Cubitt, the builder, where many new houses are about to be erected. In Liquorpond-street, a new sewer, 380 feet long, to cost 6501., towards which 4001. will be advanced by Messrs. Reid and Co., was ordered to be formed. Another sewer was also directed to be formed in Wilson street, Finsbury, which will be connected with one constructed by the City Commissioners, by which there will be a continuous sewer to Ball's Pond, and it is proposed to con tinue it to Stoke Newington. NEW STOCK EXCHANGE.—A new Stock; Exchange was opened in Liverpool on Monday last, in a large room of the extensive premises, in Moorfields, recently occupied as the British Hotel. The members of the new Association commenced business with great spirit and energy, and the transactions of the week have been, considering the infancy of the concern, tolerably numerous. The lists of current prices and of the daily sales have been duly issued, and have exhibited a very fair amount of operations, par. ticularly in that description of stock that has been most popular in the market. The new Association has received the designation of the Royal Stock Exchange. The rates of commission are the same as those in the elder Association. Strangers having business with, and being introduced by members, are admitted to observe the mode in which the business is transacted, the numbers allowed to be present at one time being, however, limited to four, its order to prevent inconvenient crowding. This regulation is necessary, in consequence of the circumscribed area of the room. The mem bers have it in contemplation to build a suitable edifice for the pur poses of their business somewhere contiguous to the great centre of commercial transactions.—Liverpool Albion. ACCIDENT ON THE DOVER RAILWAY.—The half- past six o'clock train from Dover, on arriving yesterday evening at the Penzburst station, was run in upon by an engine which bad been assisting behind, when the train was stationary. Three or four carriages were doubled up, and one dashed to pieces. About 30 persons received contusions and cuts. One gentleman had his kg fractured, and another received a severe injury in his back. Mr. Cubitt, who was with the train , states, that t h e accident oc curred'from the red lights not being p laced on th e last carriage at .Tunbridge, and that the engi n e which occasion ed the mischief was e av 4 in i g rectors engines o f behind railways, cannot as m o b s e t toof the strongly accidentsi m w hich have occurred have arisen from this c ause. following to bring up the lig h t s .

PRIVILEGE QUESTION. By Walsh, Bart., 11I.P. This is a pamphlet clearly indicating in ik powers of a higher order, and views of a comprelNas- • ness and originality beyond the scale which tlXsWiSi',Sigki and limited form of his present " Remarks." The general purpose of the argument here put forth by Sir John is to establish the necessity for some very carefully digested declaratory measure ascertaining and defining, in the most :distinct and intelligible , terms, " the" pri vileges of Parliament. He looks upon such a course as offering the only available middle term, at which it will, ere long, be possible to escape from the high privilege pretensions of one party in the Legislature, and the high common• law doctrine of the otter. In speaking of the privilege question, now pending before the judicial tri bunals of the country, he remarks that— " The determination to appeal from the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench to the next tribunal, post pones the difficulty, but does not remove or modify it. It takes, indeed, the chapter of accidents in our favour. The Court of Error may reverse the judgment of the Queen's Bench, or other contingencies may intervene. The case, however, that the collective body of the judges may confirm the decision of the Court below is suffi ciently probable to render it the part of ordinary fore sight to anticipate the chance of its occurrence, and to ask ourselves beforehand what line we should be pre- pared to take, in the position in which we should then be involved." Sir John 'Walsh clearly shows the indispensable necessity for the existence of Parliamentary privilege to an extent fully adequate to uphold and to maintain its independent action and corporate dignity. But he is keenly alive to the perhaps inevitable tendencies of unwritten " pri vileges" to grow into a powerful and uncontrollable ma chinery of oppression, unless subject to be modified by the interposition of the authority and the powers of courts of law. All the - chi - Tigers incident to a collision between these courts and the High Court of Parliament he shadows forth with a spirited band. Perhaps he could not have hit upon a more illustrative analogy than that suggested in the following passages:— " The Courts of Law have on their side this great principle of human society, that the progress of it is always attended and marked by a constant process of defining and limiting rights and powers. Everything is gradually appropriated, and fixed in its proper place. The House of Commons has contrived, in these vague and unbounded claims, to place itself in opposition to the opinions, the interests, the very instincts of advancing civilization. I would compare this dispute to our late difference with America on the Maine boundary. Some eighty years ago an imaginary frontier line was inserted in a treaty, assuming limits which could not be ascer tained, and describing landmarks which had no existence. At the time it was totally immaterial, for neither party cared for the possession of a tract of pathless forest ; but as the two nations went on reclaiming, and civilizing, appropriating this wilderness, they came at length into contact, and they discovered this line to be no line at all. As there was no limit ascertainable, the two nations each made its own, and they were on the point of going to war to maintain them. It happened fortunately that Lord Ashburton did not carry into his negotiations the spirit of Sir Thomas Wilde ; and as they could not find the old line, they agreed upon a new one. I think eventually the House of Commons and the Courts of Law will do the same." Sir Thomas Wilde, as the champion of the high privi lege party, is the object of Sir John's frequent and some what unwarranted attacks. But for our own parts we cannot concur in the overdrawn and highly-coloured portions which his own hand has drawn of the exclusive eligibility of Sir Robert Peel to undertake the or ganization of such a scheme of privilege definition as he has here advocated. " It is quite evident that such a measure must be the work of a Government—no individuals could have the materials to frame, or the power to carry it. The opi nion of Sir Robert Peel is known indeed to have been in favour of the assertion of privilege. I remember one of his most eloquent speeches, in which he deprecated . any attempt to lower the character or degrade the position of that illustrious body, and in which he seemed to consider such to be the aim of the opponents of privileges. The first Member in the noblest of representative assemblies, to which he feels perhaps that he owes everything, and others think that he has paid back all that he owes, the natural tendency of his mind would be to stand forward. as its foremost champion. I wish he could believe that those who differ from him as to the means, concur wit) him as to the end. They think that the true source of the glory and power of the House lies in its numbering among its ranks those who, like himself, sway it und the country by the force of intellect and statesman-like abi lity. They believe that the attempt to force these high claims of privilege against the genius of the British con stitution, would injure and undermine its real ascen dancy. He now stands in a different position from that which he occupied then ; still the leader of the House of Commons, he is also the first Minister of the Crown ; and experience has shown that his policy has in many instances been modified by a due sense of the responsibi lities of his office. The results of the former contest in 1840 are before him—the flame kindled by the harsh proceedings against the sheriffs, and the ease with which i the question of the publication was disposed of by the introduction of a Bill. " These considerations must have a strong influence upon a mind naturally averse to extreme and violent measures. I cannot but encourage the hope that— without suffering himself to be embarked in an invidious struggle, without committing the House a second time to the employment of naked force, without waiting till circumstances bring on a crisis—he may under take, by the peaceable means of enactment, the final settlement of this embarrassing and vexatious question." This pamphlet is agreeably written, and for the most part in a temperate and dispassionate spirit. MESMERIC LECTURES —Mr. Spencer T. Hall's third lecture on mesmerism at the Western Literary Institu tion, Leicester-square, was delivered on Thursday evening to a numerous and approving audience. The experiments upon parties strange to Mr. Hall and new to mesmeric operations, were interesting and generally regarded as conclusive—t' , e power he seemed instantaneously to acquire over an invetes .ate stammerer whom he had never seen before, striking all w h o witnessed it with amazement , and calling forth rer.i.tated plaudits. We perceive that Mr. Hall has an n ounced 'ins fare well lectures for the season, and the friends of rAestnerism cannot fail to be gratified by the progress it has trade in his hands durin g his residence in town. COUNT KONIGSMARK, AN HISTORICAL ROMANCE. Br CAPTAIN FREDERIC CHAMIER, R.N.--Count Konigs mark was one of the most remarkable characters of a wild and adventurous age. His extraordinary career in many quarter, o fthe globe is traced, by captain Chamier with a vigoroushand, and th e interest of the reader is never suffered to flag for a moment, as the hero rushes from peril to peril, in love, wail; gambling, riot, or murder. His indomitable bravery through out, which made him so successful in his amours, furnishes new and curious matter for evey chapter ; but the character of his faithful and deceived follower, Vratz, is drawn with equal force, and keeps nearly as strong a hold upon the imagination. An,' / there is another person in the drama, the Italian, Isabella, tl ae devoted mistress of Konigsmark, than whom the pages of r m _ mance do not present a more effective female portrait. T ext to her is Donna Maria, a noble Spanish senora, whose destinies arc commingled with those of Konigsmark ; and towart). s the close, the Princess, in whose secret bower his false i'atrigues and daring deeds came to their bloody close. In, addition to the glowing materials to which we have pointed, the story is enriched by a number of historical personages of the age of Charles H.—Literary Gazette. Last week, as - the Talbot steamer was getting ready to leave Lyons, it caught fire from the boiler having been made red hot.

FRIGHTFUL AND ALARMING STATE OF LEITRIM. (From a Correspondent of the Armagh Sporting Chronicle.) On Saturday last, three men (strangers) were seen lurking about the demesne of Strand Hill, the residence of James Fawcett, Esq., J.P., and on the following day (Sunday), shortly after that gentle. man and his family, with some friends who had been on a visit with him, had left for Drumkieran Church, the same three Men ware seen to secrete themselves in the plantation immediately adjoining the avenue leading to Strand House, and from the anxious inquiries which they had been making, relative to Mr. Fawcett, it was at once suspected their visit was one of bloodshed. Mr. Fawcett and family were actually on their way home; but, having received intelligence of what they might expect, imme diately returned to Drumkieran, and got the police, and were joined by that active magistrate F. N. Cullen, Esq., of Curry Lodge, and about twenty of the well-disposed inhabitants, who searched the country in all directions until eight o'clock in the evening, but without effect. The police, however, were unre mitting in their exertions, and after a long and harassing march, succeeded, I am happy to say, in arresting three men lying in one bed in a house near the iron -works, and on the person of one of them was found pistols. The police brought them the next morning, at five o'clock, to Strand Hill, and the man on whom the pistols were found was fully identified as being the person who was so anxiously inquiring after Mr. Fawcett on Sunday. The only reason that can be assigned for this intended assassination was that Mr. Fawcett gave the use of his boat to Mr. Slade, S.M., and the police, to go across Lough Allen, in pursuit of the Molly Maguires, who had been plundering the country of fire-arms and committing outrages the night before. In a few nights after this occurrence Mr. Fawcett's boat was maliciously sunk, and a threatening notice served on himself. Such is the dreadful state of this country, in which neither life nor property is safe. The Government has been memorialised to put both Leitrim and Cavan under martial law, the necessity of which is now beyond doubt. „‘y THE GALA.
