LONDON. TI,TY,SDAY, ..M.OWNIN._O. OCTOBER 28, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS (From The Sun of Last Night.) The Cotttes Market at Liverpool on Saturday was dull, and only 2,000 bales were sold. The quotations remain without alteration. The Share Market was closed as usual on Saturday. • • This has been a more quiet day in the City, and the alarm which prevailed last week has all but subsided, except in certain circles, where it is of importance to their interests to keep up the absurd apprehension that, owing to railway spe culations, the value of the Public Securities must decline still further. Of course the accounts sent off on Saturday relative to the markets here for railway scrip and shares, must lead to a fall in the prices of all the provincial markets, but it is generally anticipated that the panic, if such it may be called, has been at its height, and that better times will sc wilily follow. Judging from the accounts received by the last Overlind Mail, the prospects of the tea trade are likely to be of a favourable character for the growers. Prices were expected to rule higher, as the supplies had come down short ; and from all quarters it was sail the planters were determined to hold ou fur a further improvement of prices. In some quar ters it was said that the quality of the teas was below the average of former years, but this we believe to be a state ment invented solely for the purposes of enhancing prices. Seldom it ii that commercial letters refer to political specu lations, but if one we have seen can be relied upon, the Chine.e authorities have no great liking for the French; and as for their obtaining Chusan, it was considered entirely out of the question; the more sa, if it was likely to trench against the interests of Great Britain, for which country the Chinese merchants have the greatest respect. The Consol Market has been a shade lower this morning. For the Account the price has receded from 97% to 96%; and for the first transfer to-morrow from 97 to 96% %. Ex chequer Bills have rallied to 41s. premium, having opened at 395. Bank Stock is lower by 1 per cent., being now worth 205%. The correspondence that has taken place upon the subject of the Mexican dividends, and the retainment of the funds sent by the Government . of the Republic for the sole purpose of the payment of the dividends by the Messrs.LizardiandCo., has been a matter of conversation in the City this morning. And the Messrs. Lizardi and Co. are held to have acted wrong by the bondholders, but there is always two sides to be heard. Possession is nine points of the law. If there are claims against the Mexican Republic of which the bondholders know nothing, the Messrs. Lizardi think it their policy, until their ac counts are investigated, to detain assets. Whether pro:l43lly or not remains to t.) be seen. Mexican Bonds have fallen to- day from 31 to 30 3 / 4 . Spanish Stock has ruled from 25% to 25 3 A, and the Three per Cents. from 36% to 36%. The Railway Share Market has been rather more steady this morning. The official quotations are annexed. ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES Bank Stock 205% 2054 3 per Cent.

THE ELLENBOROUGH TESTIMONIAL.—The total subscriptions at Calcutta already exceed 50,0901., of which only 10,4211. remains uncollected. It is intended to apply the total sum realized to the purchase of a service of plate, and it has beets already submitted to the noble ex-Governor of India that such course has been decided upon. FRENCH PLAYS-ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. Encouraged by the success of the three last seasons, Mr. Mi.chell commences his campaign for the present season on Monday next, two months earlier than usual. Every true lover of the drama will be rejoic:d at this announcement, for the French play is certainly one of the most intellectual amusements of the country. His engagements, too, are of greater importance than they have been during any of the preceding seasons. Monsieur Lafont, of whom the habitues of the St. James's, during the last season, preserve so many pleasant reminiscences, opens the season. He will be supported by Mademoiselle Martelleur, of the Theatre Francais, and Mademoiselle Eug6aie St. Marc, of the Theatre du Vaudeville, both of whom are new to this country, and who will be members of the regular company during the season. Madame Albert will be here at the end of December, and will, during her engagement, appear in all her popular characters. During a portion of her en ge gemeatiMowiieur Laferriire, of the Theatre du Vaude ville, will make his deia before a London audience ; and, judging of him from the report of our Parisian contemporaries, he cannot fail to become a favourite. In February M. Felix, also a popular actor of the Vaudeville, will make his deln2t, with our old favourite, Madame Doche. In April Mademoiselle Rose Cheri. the p , t of the Gymnase, will make her debut, and during her engagement several new plays will be produced. She will be succeeded by the fascinating D‘jazet, at the conclusion of whose -en gagement Mademoiselle Plessy and M. Lafont will ap pear. At this time the finest cimedies of the French language will be produced, and for awhile Thalia will reign triumphant at the St. James's. She will, however, give place eventually to her sister, Melpomene, for Mr. Mitchell has succeed in engaging the glory .of France, the tragedian par excellence of the world, Mademoiselle Rachel, who will appear in selections from the chefs d'ceuvre of Corneille, Racine, and Voltaire. But while due homage is paid to the transcendent genius of the mighty masters of the bygone classical days, the modern French tragic drama will not be neglected, and the Virginie of Latour, the most successful of the new French tragedies, will be represented for the first time before an English audience. The general company will be a powerful one. In addition to that admirable aitist3 Car tigny, and a great number of our old favourites, it in cludes the names of many (oaks, who, although un known in England, deservedly enjoy a high reputation in ti er own country. Mademoiselle Eliza Forgeot is the direct rice, and Cleup, to whom the public are under great obligations for his unceasing efforts in forma days to naturalise the French drama among us, resumes his post of regisseur. We anticipate a brilliant season, for the public in general is not ungrateful, and certainly Mr. Mitchell deserves all the patronage that can be bestowed on .him. As a caterer for the public amusement, he is judicious, enterprising, and indefatigable. Doci YARD.-100 shipwrights are to be hired forthwith at this yard until the 31st of March next, to fit the block ships, the Forth and Seahorse.—Devenport Independent. OUTRAGE IN ROSCOMMON.—CASTLEREA t OCT. 22.—Mr. Greene, an Englishman, who holds a farm of be tween fifty and one hundred acres of land, and who resides within half a mile of Ballymoe, and five of Castlerea, was waited upon last night by four men, who, having placed him upon his knees, each man presenting a pistol, swore him to let a house he has to a shoemaker, at six pounds a-year, and that unless he did so, they, one and all, declared they would return and shoot him. He is now here, afraid to go home, and the police are going out to investigate the affair.—Cor respondent of the Dublin Evening Mail. We are enabled to state that the Venerable Dean Stacpoole, now in France, has written to his agents in this county, directing that they should convey instructions to the tenantry on his estates not to sell corn of any descrip tion, but to detain it for the forthcoming awful crisis. Such conduct is beyond praise, and worthy of imitation. Mr. Molony, Kiltannon, is selling the best cup and crow potatoes, not only to his own tenantry, but to the neighbourhood at large, for three-halfpence per stone, giving his cattle and vehicles for'their conveyance, and receiving the proceeds in small instalments.— Clare Journal. DECLINE OF SOCIALISM.—ROMSEY, OCT. 25.—The formidable building at Tytherley, in this neighbourhood, con.. strutted for, and some time since tenanted by, members of the " New Moral World," has already out-lasted its original uses, and not a few of its former inmatt s are seeking other habitations, with curses both loud and deep at the delusion of which they have been the dupes. The society is generally understood to be insolvent, or nearly so, nor would it appear from evidence recently given before the revising barrister, that the finances of its founder are in a very flourishing con dition. The estate of Rose-hill, near Broughton, was pur chased for and presented to Mr. Owen, who claimed in July last to vote in county elections in respect of ownership ; this claim was objected to, and on the examination by Mr. H. L. Footner, of Stockbridge (an adjoining parish), it was stated by the occupying tenant, that no portion of the rent was paid to the soi-disant proprietor, but that all of it went to the mortgagee, Many shattered fortunes, and much con• sequent distress, are the results of this effort to establish Socialism in Hampshire, and a huge impracticable edifice remains as a monument of its folly and its fallacy. We re cently mentioned the circumstance that a few late residents at Harmony Hall have found a " local habitation" at Bent ley, not far from their old dwelling, and are acquiring a " name" for peculiarity of opinions and mode of life. The patriarch of the party (a Mr. Galpine), and the principal features of his teaching and example are—the practice of abstinence and entire denial of luxuries, with the adoption of the New Testament as an exclusive guide-book.—Hamp shire Advertiser. CRIMES OF RESPECTABLE PEOPLE.—M. L—, a jeweller, was iii the habit of dining every Sunday in the Palais Royal, at the restaurant Fournier. For some time the master of establishment had remarked that a number of spoons and forks constantly disappeared. Each time that the family L— dined there he had recommended his waiters to exercise the most strict surveillance. Last Sunday M. L— entered with his wife, children, and female servant, and the waiter followed his master's instructions in all things. After the dinner he found that five articles were missing. As it was hnpossible that they could have gone unless taken by M. L—, or one of his party, that gentleman was asked to step into a private room. When Informed of what was suspected, M. exclaimed loudly against such an accu sation, but M. Fournier insisted on both him and his wife being searched, and on Mme. L— were found the -five missing articles. M. L— was horror-struck; he endea voured to justify the act of his wife by intimating that she was enceinte. The commissary of police was sent for, and search being instituted at the residence of Mme. L—, an article of plate was found which had been taken away a fortnight before from M. Fournier. It had been placed in the shop-window, amongst the second-band goods. Mme. L— being questioned, stated that she had purchased the article from a man whose name she had not taken down, because the article was only imitation, and of little value. It is difficult to comprehend Mme. L.'s conduct, when it is stated that the other articles were also imitation, and that she could not possibly be mistaken in them, being constantly in the habit of handling gold and silver articles in her hus band's business. The commissary of police has thought it his duty to place both M. and Madame L— at the dis posal of the Procureur du Roi. Their shop has, in conse quence, been shut up. and the children, one thirteen years of age and the other thirteen months, left with their servant. This sad event has thrown the family of Madame L— into consternation. M. Fournier himself experienced great regret when be heard that Madame L— was the daughter and sister of two persons of his acquaintance, of irreproachable character.— Gazette de Tribuneaux. IMPUDENT RODBERY.—As Mr. William Gould, of Charlton Mackral, was returning from Glastonbury market on Monday last, about seven o'clock in the evening, he was met at Butleigh Wooton by three men, who pulled him from his horse, tied his legs, blinded his eyes, stopped his mouth, and threatened, if he made the least resistance, to knock out his brains. They then rifled his pockets of a cheque for 321. and seven 51. bills, amounting altogether to 671. ; also an engine-turned silver watch, maker's name William Tyas, No. 9,635, a pair of silver spectacles, a pocket knife with two blades, and one other knife with two blades, and a comb and pencil-case, with which the rascals made off across the fields in the direction of Glastonbury, leaving Mr. Gould to extricate himself as he could. On his making the alarm, Sir Alexander Hood, who lives near, with truly manly spirit, aroused the whole neighbourhood, and toge ther with his servants and others, started in search of the robbers, but we are sorry to say, without effect. Sir Alexander Hood having taken Mr. Gould to his own man sion, kindly afforded him all the consolation in his power. We are happy to say Mr. Gould escaped with a few slight bruises. He is a man much esteemed and beloved, and the greatest sympathy towards him pervades the whole neigh bourhood. As yet, the scoundrels have escaped detection, although several persons have been apprehended on sus picion.—Somerset County Gazette. CHINESE FILTERING.—The waters of the Wangho and Yang -tse•kiang are highly surcharged with mud, the former containing one-seventeenth part, and the latter one ninety-sixth of earth. This renders them both unpleasant and unwholesome to drink; and to it may possibly be attri buted a portion of the sickness we sustained. The Chinese have adopted a very simple remedy for this evil, one far simpler and equally efficacious with our filter, but which, un fortunately, was not discovered until we were leaving the river, but which it will behove any one who may chance to visit muddy streams to remember. Into about a quart of water they throw a small pinch of alum, leaving it to stand a few minutes; it becomes as clear as crystal, a considerable sediment being found at the bottom. Not even the poorest fisherman but is always provided with a small portion for this necessary purpose.—Cunningham's Service in China. The inhabitants of Williton and neighbourhood were not a little surprised last week, at the walls being placarded with notice of a sale by auction, of the late Lord Egremont's wearing apparel, by the executors of his late butler. Being of so unusual a character, we transcribe the advertisement entire for the amusement of our readers:— " WILI.ITON.—For sale by auction, in the great room at the Egremont Hotel, in Williton, on Saturday, the 18th October instant, by Mr. Purssey, a very large and desirable wardrobe of wearing apparel, in the posses sion of the executors in trust of Mr. Woods, butler to the late Earl of Egremont, deceased ; consisting of several dozen Holland shirts ; about 150 pairs of trousers, in cloth, f •stian, cords, sea duck, drill, summer cloth, and mackintosh; a large collection of vests, in drill, jean, valen cia, kerseymere, &c. ; several cloth great coats, pilot coats, a large assortment of close coats and jackets, in various fabrics, a quantity of hats and caps, a pair of antigropelo mud boots, several pairs of other boots. A large quantity of shoes, slippers, clogs, &c., &c.—Monksilver, Oct. 14, 1845." We understand that great competition arose for the various lots sespecially the 150 pairs of breeches, so anxious were the as oembled dealers to possess themselves of these appurtenance f his late Noble Lordship.—Taunton Courier. FIRE AT LEEDS.—Between three and four o'clock on Saturday morning last a fire broke out at the warehouse of Messrs. Stocks and Sons, wool merchants and Spanish leather manufacturers, situate in Trinity-street, Commercial street, Leeds, which proved very destructive in its conse quences. Immediately after the discovery of the fire an alarm was spread, and several engines were quickly on the spot; they were got to play on the devouring element with out loss of time, but the conflagration battled all attempts to stay it, until the roof and every floor in the building (which was four stories high), except the lower one, had been de stroyed, with the whole of the contents, consisting of wool, leather, &c. The origin of the tire has not been ascertained. The damage is estimated at about 400/. We understand that the stock and the building were insured in the Sun Fire office, but not to the full amount of the damage done. We are informed that various parties have been applied to officially for statements relative to the quantity reinaininv a last year's grain, and the probable returns of the present harvest in their respective districts.

MONDAY EVENlNG.—Although the list does not as yet ex hibit any extravagant " symptoms" of sport, we have every reason to anticipate a brilliant wind-up to one of the best seasons on record. On this day's racing we need not dwell— it was ample ; and now that so many horses are released from the great event of the Meeting, there can be no doubt that the Plates, Handicaps, and Selling Stakes will fill well, and that the addition of many other matches to those made yesterday evening, will enable the Stewards to extend the meeting to Saturday. Everything tends to encourage a belief that such will be the case. The town was never known to be sofull of horses, the weather favourable, although somewhat boisterous, and the attendance of company of every grade quite up to " concert pitch." Hi' herto attention has been exclusively devoted to the Cambridgeshire Stakes, which, not withstanding the declarations made at Tattersall's last week, has turned out a good betting race. A great deal of business was transacted ou it last night, The Baron, Ould]reland, Alarm, Best Bower, Chertsey, Yardley, and Flattery having plenty of friends; Ould Ireland decidedly moat in demand; Wolf-dog was on the decline. The prices, up to midnight, were as follows : 7to 2 agst The Baron ' . 40 to 1 agst Secundus 6to 1 agst Ould Ireland . 40 to 1 agst I4:verton (t) Bto 1 agst Alarm 50 to 1 agst Espoir (t) . 10 to 1 agst Wolf dog 1000 to 15 agst Event (t) 14 to 1 agst Best Bower 1000 to 15 agst Elenli (t) 14 to 1 agst Chertsey • 1000 to 10 agst Young LA . ._ • ... . _ 20 to 1 agst King Cob invar (t) '- 20 to 1 apt Wee Pet 1000 to 10 agst Ironmaster(t) 22 to 1 agst Yardley IWO to 100 on Flattery eget SO to 1 agst Flattery Event At the Jockey Club dinner, the following matches were made WEDNESDAY.—Duke of Bedford's Black Cat against Sir W.

We have already stated that a large company has been attracted to the town by the prospect of fine weather and fine sport, and large it is without taking into account the " chance customers" who availed themselves of the special train, with the sole purpose of witnessing the race for the Cam bridgeshire. All the inns are full; and lodgings, hacks, and flys have been, and are likely to continue to be, at a high premium till the end of the Meeting Our attention as yet has been so entirely taken up by the immediate busi ness of the day, as to put a list of the arrivals out of the question. Premising, therefore, that his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, and a host of fashionables were on the heath, we must proceed without further.

In very nearly this order they went a few strides beyond the Bed Stand; Event then rushed through her horses, and went on with a strong lead, followed by Best Bower and Yardley, Alarm on their left, about fourth, The Baron, Elemi, Wee Pet, Ould Ireland, and several others, whose colours we could not catch, following them. The front rank was unbroken up to the Puke's Stand, where Ould Ireland and The Baron—in fact, all the Irish korses were beaten, and Alarm, taking the second place, and Yardley the third, the ra ce was left to them. Alarm waited to the cords, where lie went up to Event, quitted her half-way up, and won by a couple of lengths, Event having a similar advantage over Yardley. Best Bower was fourth, and behind him Elemi, Flattery, Espoir, and Wolf-dog, so close together that we cannot say which. was fifth. The pace was very fast. Match ? 100 ? h ft.

On Thursday last his Lordship entertained his tenantry at a m , st sumptuous banquet in the open air. The number that sat down tie dinner amounted to about four thousand. The bill of fare, as officially supplied to the Banner, was as follows :—Seventy dishes baked and roasted beef; fifty-five ditto mutton; ninety-seven joints boiled beef; ninety-six tongues; one hundred and ninety-two meat pies • seventy turkeys; seventy-two geese; total number of dishes, 746; 3,6001b5. of bread; 3,200 pints of strong ale; thirty barrels beer, thirty-two gallons in each barrel; one hhd. and six half-gallons ale and porter (a different sort); 3,200 bottles of punch (cold), and a cask of cider.

At two o'clock his Lordship made his appearance on the platform. A loud, astounding shot was fired. Cheer on cheer arose, which gradually died away, amid the clangour of knives and forks.

The Marquis of HERTFORD then proposed " The Linen Trade- 7 -the staple trade of Iceland."—Three times three. J. RlcitannsoN, Esq., Ingram, briefly acknowledged the toast. His LORDSHIP then said, I have now come to the conclud ing toast. 'lt is, " Merry have we met, and merry may we soon meet again." The toast was duly acknowledged by the plaudits of the company. At the close, Mr. W. W. SIMPSON, of London, addressel his Lordship in the following terms : My Lord, this must have been, if not the most glorious, yet the proudest day in your Lordship's life—a day on which the sun has broken through the darkest clouds, and the morning stars must have " sang together:" and the collected thousands of your Lordship's tenants are now shouting, and will be ever shouting, for j , .y. My Lord, in all human probability we " nc'er shall look upon the like again." The effects of such a marvellous display of the reciprocal interests, as between landlord and tenant, will pervade all time. The contented bearing of your Lordship's tanantry, in every grade of life, down to the smallest occupiers, who evidently belong to that improving, neat and comfortable class, which from my intercourse in my professional avocations for the last twelve years, I have obserVed pre-eminently attaches to the province of Ulster. I cannot conclude, my Lord, without expressing to your Lordship my gratitude for the urbanity and kindness shown to me by your Lordship and your deservedly esteemed agent, the Dean of Ross. lam proud, also, to have to acknowledge the great attention I received from James Watson, Esq., of Brookhill, that worthy veteran and champion of the Protestant ascendancy of these realms, and the best institutions of the United Kingdom, having, at the same time, due regard to living at peace with all men, " as far as is consistent with the maintenance of the integrity of the empire." On a given signal the band struck up the "National An them," which closed the proceedings. The company retired peaceably, all evincing the pleasure they had experienced at the entertainment.—lpswich Journal. RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR THE STEAM BOAT PIER AT BLACKFRIARS-BRIDGE. 1.

About eight o'clock on Saturday evening a barn in the farmyard of Mr. Smith, an extensive farmer, at Northileet green, in the parish of Nortbfleet, near Gravesend, was dis covered to be on fire, and messengers were at once 'dispatched to Gravesend and Dartford for the engines. Before they atTited, however, the wheat-stacks and range of out-offices in the yard caught fire, and upon the arrival of thesGravesend engines the whole of premises were inflames. The Dart • ford engines soon after arrived, and a good supply of water being at hand, they played with a sufficiency of success to save the dwelling-house : but the barns, stables, and other out offices, together with four large stacks 'of wheat, and a quantity of wheat, partly thrashed and partly unthrsolied, which had been in the barn in which the fire originated, were totally consumed. The horses and pigs were for tuAstely driven out of their respective houses of shelter before the fire communicated to them. Mr. Smith was in Gravesend when the alarm of fire apparently in the direction of his house was given ; but until he approached its vicinity he was' not aware of the calamity that awaited his return home. All that it was possible to do to preserve the dwelling-house was accom plished by the enginemen, assisted by the people of the neighbourhood; but the fire raged in the farmyazd with a fury altogether irrepressible by any effort of th , :,se parties, or by any supply of water, however copiously discharged upon it by the engines. The destruction of and damage to property is estimated at 2,000'. The buildings are fully insured, as is also the stock, the former by the proprietor, Mr. Brenchley, of Woomble-hall, Nortlifleet, to whom the pre mises on the farm, held by Mr. Mace, and which we:.e burnt down this time twelvemonth, als3 belonged, and the farm stock by Mr. Smith, the tenant. About seven minutes past five o'clock or. Sunday morning a flame was observed by a policeman at the station-house, Gravesend, to burst through a first floor window of the Black Horse Tavernosearly opposite the Town-hall, in High-street; an alarm being immediately given, the inmates of the house rushed from their respective bed-rooms, some down stairs, and s me into the large par:our on the first floor. From the front room in the lower part of the house Mrs. King, the landlady, - and her daughter were compelled to retreat, and leave the money and papers which it was their object to pre serve, and endeavour to save their lives through ens of the first floor windows, many of the inmates having already effected their escape in that way. When they got into the largo room alluded to, fifteen or sixteen of the lodgers, the house being full, as it was the fair time, were endeavouring to get out of the two windows, and Mrs. King leapel out of one, followed by Miss King and a man named Aldridge. At this time the flames also burst through the windows, and the whole house, in an inconceivable short time, was one mass of flame. By this time the Gravesend engines, which had been at the fire at Northfleet-green, arrived on the spot, but n 3 water could be procured fornearly twenty minutes, an interval woich was occupied in communicating with the superintendent of the waterworks, and during which the fire extended to the houses on either side of the Black Horse. The Dartford and Rochester engines arrived from Northfleet-green, where they had been detained in a successful attempt to save Mr. Smith's house, but even when they arrived the water had not been laid on. However, there was soon a copious supply, and the efforts of the firemen were directed to the p:evention of the spread of the fire to the houses adjoining the Black Horse on either side; but all their efforts were fruitless to prevent the communication of the fire to the .houses in the rear of the Black Horse, as well as to those in the alley lead ing from High-street to Princes-street, and to the three houses at each side of the Black Horse and fronting High street. The whole of these were one mass of flame, which, despite the great quantity of water at this time dis charged upon it by the fire-engines, was not abated until it had no more fuel to feed upon. About eight o'clock the Black Horse Tavern and its extensive stabling and other appurtenances, together with the house of Mr. Tollis, butcher; Mr. Smith, grocer; Mr. Hollingdale, draper; Mr. Harris, bootmaker; and Mr. Hall, China warehousekeeper, were totally destroyed. To the rear of those fronting Princes-street, a slaughter-house of Mr. Tollis's and four cc t tages belonging to Mr. Hall were also destroyed. The Ca therine Wheel Tavern, next to Mr. Smith's house; the party wall of which resisted the extension of the fire to the tavern, was much damaged, as were the houses immediately above Mr. Hollingdale's. At the time the fire broke out there were, as Mrs. King states, 26 persons, including lodgers, in the house. One of them, a man belonging to Mr. Wombwell's show-booth at the fair, is missing, and supposed to have been consumed; but at the time of our reporter leaving last even ing no search for his remains, if he be destroyed, had been in stituted in the ruins. In leaping from the.window Mrs. King suffered a severe injury, having three of her ribs broken. Mr. Aldridge was still more severely if not fatally injured in the back. Miss King was also badly hurt. Mr. King, the landlord of the Black Horse, was not at home. He is but partially insured, and his loss, it is said, is little less that ruinous to him. Neither Mr. Hall nor Mr. Hollingdale is insured in respect either to stock or houses. Mr. Tollis's house was fully insured, but his furniture was not, and he barely saved his account books. In Mr. King's desk was, as our reporter learned, over 100/. in gold and notes; the latter consumed, and the former amid the ruins, as are the remains. as is sup posed, of at least the showman of Mr. Wombell. Mrs. King does not appear to be quite sure of the number of lodgers that night in the house, as many came in from the fair at various hours of the night up to three o'clock. How the fire origi nated is doubtful, but there are strong reasons for believing that it was in the smoking-room. The policeman states that when he first discovered it the flame was issuing from a win dow on the first floor. The loss is variously estimated, but it would appear to be about 10,000/. IRELAND. THE LIMERICK MEETING. LIMERICK, OCT. 43.— 1 t is difficult to know by what name to designate " the demonstration" which has just terminated. Ori ginally it was to have been a banquet to Mr. W. S. O'Brien. Then It was understood that a meeting—the last of the monsters for the year—was to be held on the subsequent Thursday; and cut finally comes a hybrid between a dinner and demonstration. It is said that the dissensions in the corporation of Limerick, to which Mr. O'Connell alluded, have, in sonic way or other, influenced the amal. gamation of both. Mr. O'Connell entered Itatlikeale, the scene of the banqutt, at an early hour from Limerick, and was met en route by Mr. W. S. O'Brien, and escorted with the usual procession through the streets to the place of meeting. On the platform,which was erected in the market-place of the town, were Dr. Gray, Mr. O'Flaherty, of Donoman Castle; Mr. Hannan, Mr. St. Lawrence, Mr. Ryan, Bruce.lodge; tome country solicitors, and the usual gathering of Roman Catholic clergymen. Mr. FERGUSON, harrister.at.law, on taking the chair, informed the meeting that the objects for which they bad assembled were to express their gratitude to Mr. O'Brien, and to promote, by the moral force of their combined opinion, the regeneration of their country--with that view adopting a petition to Farhat - mint for the repeal of the union. The usual resolutions, condemnatory of the Act of Union, having been duly passed, a vote of confidence in Mr. W. S. O'Brien was proposed and carried by acclamation. Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN came forward accordingly, and returned thanks at length. He regretted that he did not see around him that day some of the landed gentry of the county, but he had at least the satisfaction of knowing that the representatives of industry, intelligence, and of its social and individual worth, were present.--Cheers.) He was bound to think that the part he had been permitted to take in public affairs was not wholly useless, and was also proud for the sake of his constituents that they had shown themselves to Mr. O'Connell prepared to co-operate with the hundreds of thousands of Irishmen whom, during the last month, he (Mr. O'Connell) had beheld pledging themselves, before God and their country, never to desist from legal exertions to accomplish ends worthy of freemen and of men devoted to higher than earthly aims. Mr. O'CONNELL next rose to return thanks for a similar vote. Having eulogised Mr. O'Brien " as the most patriotic Member of the House of Commons—the most valuable member of the Repeal Association—as true a patriot as ever bore an Irish name and an Irish heart," he proceeded at much length to insist upon the necessity of every man's attending the registry for the county. so as to secure hint without the chance of a struggle as their represen tative not only in London, but College-green. His return ought to he as triumphant as his political services, as magnificent and majestic as his own exertions for It eland.—(Cheers.) As to himself, there was small merit in his taking part with the Irish people, having every sympathy in common with them, kneeling at the same altar, under the same code of slavery—partaking of the same servitude ; but Smith O'Brien was of a nobler stock, belonging to a higher class, born with higher prospects, with prejudices and in terests contradictory to those of the people. A decided Catholic emancipator, he thought, on his entrance into public life that the Imperial Parliament was sufficient to legislate for Ireland, but trying the experiment, he found he could not induce them to give him even a committee of inquiry into a case of the most awful lm. portance which his talent, industry, and researches enabled him to bring before them.—(Hear, hear.) Then did he reject all his former notions, and manfully and bravely determine to stand by his countrymen, and insist upon their right to a domestic Legisla ture. Repeal was "as certain as the rising of to-morrow's sun." He called on them again to send in a id. a week, Id. a month, Is. a year (and four weeks for nothing) to the Repeal Association, and warned them against secret societies, alluded to the declara tion of Sir James Graham, and its abandonment, and wound up by saying that formerly he had had only a party at his back, but that a nation was now springing up around him, and that liberty should smile upon Ireland and her Parliament in College-green. Dr. GRAY having addressed the meeting, it peaceably dispersed. THE DINNER was given in the Temperance.hall. Among the company wire many Roman Catholic priests. At the principal table were the Rev. D. Synan, Roman Catholic curate of Rathkeale; the princi pal guest, Mr. W. S. O'Brien, M.P.; the Rev. Mr. Coll (Roman Catholic Dean, the highest dignitary of that body present); Mr. C. Powell, M.P., Mr. J. Kelley, M.P., Mr. O'Connell, Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald (Roman Catholic Archdeacon), Mr. J. O'Brien, M.P., and some of the Limerick corporation in their robes. There was the usual sprinkling of the 'B2 Club uniform. The Rev. hfr. SYNAN, as chairman (on the conclusion of dinner), in proposing the health of "The Queen," said that the people of Ireland knew they had a sovereign anxious to redress the grievances of her subjects, but the royal cup of mercy and justice was made an acrid drug by administrative quackery. After some further toasts, The Cnstemax proposed the health of Mr. O'Brien. He was a proud man for Ireland—a prouder man for Limerick—proudest of all for Rathkeale. He was endeared to the Roman Catholic clergy, for he always spoke well of them, and protected them when calumniated.—(Cheers.) I ' Mr. W. S. O'BuiEre responded to the toast. Perceiving that from the English Legislature no hope of good government was to bra obtained, he became a repealer—(Cheers)—and he was glad to think he had been able to do something to sustain the cause.— (Hear, hear, and great cheering.) Where were the labours of the Conservative party ? He challenged them to show him their fruits,—(Cheers.) The Whigs were no longer a party—they were merely a few respectable individuals, possessing no force apart from being so, and only considered so by themselves and the people of England. The repeal Members did not, it was true, possess the power of making laws, but they exposed abuses and suggested re. mcdies- At the risk of imprisonment, he had told the British Par liament that he considered his time misapplied there, au' that he would not be coerced in attendance which he did not consider for the good of his constituents.—(Cheers.) He thought that the men who presented themselves at the next election should be pre. pared to attend Conciliation-hall, or St. Stephen's, to track the enemy, as the interests of Ireland require it.—(Cheers.) Having Insisted on the necessity of union—the inevitable success of repeal— he proceeded to contend that Protestants would reap equal advan tages with the Catholics from that consummation, and concluded (amid much applause) by assuring those who were instrumental in obtaining it that posterity would bless them for it hereafter. Mr. O'CoNsraar. returned thanks for his health in connexion with repeal of the union; and, having expressed his delight at the meeting, launched out into a high flow of eulogy on the character, conduct, and talents of Mr. O'Brien, whom he styled the main spring of repeal. He addressed tt e people of England from that spot, and told them that the Crown was a mockery and delusion, and that the entire power of the State was in the hands of the Minister. The repeal of the union would countercheck and divide that power, and the Queen could govern the balance. So repeal was, In fact, a royalist cry. It was also the cry for Irish hap piness.—(Cheers.) As yet their only argument had been :he soft end of the cudgel.—(Cheers and laughter.) Proceeding in a tone of admonition to warn the meeting against the miseries pre. duced by Internal strife at every epoch of Irish history, the Learnod Gentleman went on to repudiate, in strong terms, the idea that he or his party sought for Roman Catholic ascendancy, appealing to Mr. O'Brien as a witness of its absurdity. He (Mr. O'Brien) watt a Protestant, but he believed the Pope himself would not have a chance against him for the county.—(Loud laughter.) It was said that popular favour was fleeting. He ( Mr. O'Connell) had been popular for 45 years ; S. O'Brien would be popular for a longer period.—(Cheers.) No 1 the people of Ireland were true— never did a nation so emphatically deserve the name.—(Cheers.) S. O'Brien's career was e3mmencing as his (Mr. O'Connell's) was about to close, and he thanked God be would have such a successor. Mr. W. S. O'Batior proposed the health of the Chairman, which was followed by that of "The Hierarchy and Clergy of Ireland," for which The Roman Catholic Dean Cott returned thanks. After some ftirther toasts—" The County and City Members," " The Martyrs,* "The 'B2 Club," &c.—the principal guests de. parted, and the company broke up at 12 o'clock. THE CORN-LAWS AND FREE TRADE. CHRONICLE.—Among the numerous weapons with which Sir Robert Peel will be able to combat the objections of the refractory portion of the Cabinet, who object to a suspension of the corn-laws and the free introduction of grain, will be the recent dispatches from our Minister at 'Washington. Those dispatches cannot fail to inform our Government of the present singularly favourable combi. nation of circumstances in the United States, all tending to secure a new tariff highly favourable to the trade of this country, if any disposition is shown on our part to receive their produce in return. Mr. Walker, the Secretary to the Treasury, who is at this time in defatigably occupied in procuring information on which he will be We to frame a proposal for a new tariff, cannot have omitted to explain to Mr. Pakenham the chief difficulty with which he has tai contend ; and that difficulty being one in which England alone is concerned, our Minister can hardly have failed to represent it to his Governsnent here. Coming at so opportlne a season as such expostulations trust now do, the fair inference is that Sir Robert Peel will use them in order to show hew much we hazard by persevering in a policy at once inconsistent with our OWI6 internal and domestic interests, and destructive to our foreign trade. Mr. Polk, and the members of his Cabinet, have en many occasions openly avowed their opinions in behalf of free.trade, and of a tariff framed only upon considerations of revenue. But the protective system in America has already brought into existence a powerful party, whose interests are bound up with a high tariff. It is no matter of surprise to find that the wealthy and influential corporations of manufacturers, which have been called into exist ence and fostered by extravagant import duties, should cling with tenacity to a tariff which, in many important articles, gives them the undisputed command of their home market, and enables them to exact enormous prices from the consumer. But it ought to stagger an English Cabinet in Downing-street, when their own - Minister informs them that these parties are supported in their exactions by those who most suffer from them. It way excite no wonder to find the manufacturer in New England using the whole of his influence to defeat Mr. Polk in his contemplated reduction of the tariff; but when it appears that the chief difficulty which he has to encounter is the opposition of the corn grower in Ohio. whose whole interest would appear to lie in securing the cheapest supply of those imported articles of which he is always a buyer, and never a seller, so strange an anomaly should not tail to excite an earnest inquiry as to its cause, when it will be found capable of but one solution. The corn grower In Ohio finds that, how ever much cheaper our goods may he cannot buy when he cannot sell; and he is therefore satisfied to pay an extravagant price to the home manufacturer, in order to create a market there, from which he is shut out here. But the protective principle is productive cf mischief, which it is impossible can long be permitted to continue, on both sides of the Atlantic. In England it is exposing the people, or at least a considerable portion of them, to habitual scarcity, not unfrequentiy to severe want; and at the present moment it threatens little short of a famine. In America it is exposing the State to a deficient and declining revenue. Duties which were once only protective are becoming prohibitory, in consequence of the extension of their home manufactures. In the present year, tip to this time, the exports of the article of woollens alone from this country, on which they rely chiefly for their revenue, have declined more than thirty per cent. compared with last year. Each country finds itself in a dilemma, ' tom which it can only b e extricated by a closer alliance with the other. There is no quarter to which we can look with much hope of relieving . the deficiences of our present harvest but America; -- there is no source on which the Cabinet at Washington can rely for replenishing their Treasury but by so reducing their tariff as to increase the import of British manufactures. On the one hand, Sir Robert Peel must see the double advantage which a free trade with the United States would secure to - this country, first by creating an increased demand for our manufactures, and secondly, by securing a constant and never failing supply of food. That country at once offers us abundance in its productiveness, and the means of purchase from its trade. On the other hand, Mr. Polk cannot fail to see that a closer Inter. course with this country would secure a steady demand for that produce which it is most to the interest of the United States to raise, while the people would be supplied with our manufacture. at a lower peice, and his revenue made secure. At the present moment, however, the overtures of the United States to this country, and the terms on which they are made, are singularly adapted to our necessities, and unusuely easy of accomplishment. Mr. Walker freely exposes his real position to our Minister. The American Government have little doubt of carrying their new tariff in Congress, but frankly admit their doubts as to its fate its the Senate. But they say to us, admit our Indian corn into your markets, and so give us the support of those who should be the chief and natural promoters of a low tariff on British manufactures, and our measure is safe, It would be difficult to conceive a pro. I position which at this time could be made to our Government In every way so convenient, and the adoption of which woulst be so full of promise. If we open our ports it must be, considering the destitute condition of the continent of Europe, chiefly for American corn. If we require a cheap and effective substitute for the perished potato crop of Ireland, there is none so good as Indian corn, which at this time, if free from duty, could be supplied in. great abundance at twenty shillings the quarter. And, judging from the past, looking only to the interests of agriculture, it would be difficult to confer a greater boon on the British farmer at all times than to furnish him with a plentiful and cheap supply of this grain So that looking only to our own interests, whether temporary or permanent, the overtures of the American Government present exactly those advantages which should have suggested themselves to the mind of an English statesman. And at the present time there are peculiar reasons why Sir Robert Peel should feel solicitous with respect to our trade with the United States. Of late years we have depended, to a great extent, for the increasing export of cur manufactures upon the continental markets The failing crops, and consequent high price of food in those countries, cannot but materially affect the consumption of manufactured goods, and reduce their demand. nearly to their own means of supply. At the same time, there is too much reason to apprehend that a similar cause will act pre judicially on the home trade, and thua materially endanger the prosperity of those districts which of late have produced so favour. able and so marked an influence on the various interests of this, country. Nothing could tend so much to avert these dangers as si reduction in the American tariff, which would at once open ups large market in the western states for:pur manufactures, and alibrd us an unfailing security against our own fickle and uncertain climate. POST—That distinguished bore, Mr. Bickham Escort, having adopted the polities of the Anti-Corn-law League, has been makiug a speech on their bide of the question at Ihninster. lie says Lord Ashley is an able man, and sees truly what is coming. We wish the Noble Lord much joy of this voucher for his ability and foresight. Mr. Escott says he feels as Lord Ashley feels, that " the game of protection is up." What a dignified orator it is upon a great question! He differs, however, with the Noble Lord in considering the loss of the corn-laws as a blow. He does not dread any blow. He thinks the change is inevitable, but he does not despond for the result. Certainly the change is inevitable if the Minister be so monstrously treacherous to the people, as to take advantage of the willingness of such brainless weathercocks as Mr. Eseott to deceive and betray their constituents. Of this we are sure, that Mr. Escott was not returned to: Winchester as a corn-law repealer. If the Minister be capable of using such instruments as he is to work out a kind of legislation, the very opposite of what was calculated upon by the persons who sent such instruments to Parliament, we scarcely know what epithet could be strong enough to denote his worse than unworthiness. If the change ►s to be proposed by Government, let the people be made aware that this is intended, and then let them have an oppor. tunity of sending fresh representativte to the House of Commons. If, when they have this opportunity given them, they send such creatures as Mr. Escott to that House, there is no misfortune which dull conceit in legislation can Inflict upon them which they will not amply deserve. But let them have the opportunity of using the experience of the last four years. Let not the Minister insist that the protection law shall be changed by men who sit in Parliament under false pretences. Let it not be said that gross and palpable cheats have overthrown the legislative protection of British agricultural industry. We can understand men going to their constituents and saying—" We have been obliged to change our minds. The stream in favour of mercantile liberalism is too strong for us. We do not find that we have the power to grapple with those who would break down British agricultural protection. We acknow. ledge that you should not have confided in us as champions of pro tection, for our taste is rather to give in, or to run away, than to fight. But the mischief is not yet quite complete. We resign our representative trust into your hands. You now know us; send us back to Parliament if you will ; you are aware what you have to expect. If you want bolder men, who will really fight your battle for you, we give way. We can vote with the Minister, but without him we cannot defend you ; so if you do not choose to sur render yourself to the absolutism of Sir Robert Peel, who Is emphatically a commercial Minister, you must find other men for Parliament in our room." We can conceive men to be honest although weak, and we should pardon men who took this course and used this language. But that men who hold Par liamentary scats on the notorious understanding of their support of the corn.laws should make use of their legislative voices to destroy the corn-laws—that indeed were a proceeding calling for the very roughest species of remedy. And we have no doubt that such a remedy would be soon applied. As for Mr. Escott, we can make the same excuse for his speech at Ilminster as Lord Palmerston used to make for Mr. Joseph Hume—namely, his impenctrab thick.headedness. His mind is incapable of pursuing even a short train of ideas, He sees that, provided the people have wages In their pockets, they are best off when provisions are cheap, but he is incapable of going so far forward with the proem of thought as to perceive that by the cheapening of agricultural produce the wages of agricultural labourers must fall, and to a great extent disappear altogether. This comes of sending a mere chatter-box to Parliament, who cannot think. He is tiot quite so had as those who can think, but for their own selfish reasons advo cate measures which they well know will render more wretched the condition of English labourers. We acquit Mr. Escott of this depravity, because we believe him to be stupid enough not to understand the consequences of what he is willing to do. But we trust that before he has an opportunity of voting with the Minister for corn-law repeal, the electors of Winchester will have an oppor tunity of saying whether he shall vote in Parliament at all. If they give him that opportunity the fault will then be theirs. DISTURBANCE ON BOARD HER MAJESTY'S SHIP AellioN.—A few days since the crew of the Albion were guilty of conduct which speaks ill for the character of the British seamen of these latter days. It appears, that on the arrival of the Albion with the rest of the experimental ships at this port, on Friday se'n night, part of the men had shote.leave given to them, and on Wed nesday another party applied fur the indulgence. By that time, however, sailing orders had reached the ship, and, in accordance with the custom of the service, no leave could be granted. The commander, therefore, refused to give leave, and it annoyed the men very much ; their ire was aggravated by intoxication, and from grumbling and swearing they soon proceeded to acts of mu tiny. Some of the worst of them commenced breaking their mese things, and throwing the fragments about. Shots were rolled along the lower deck, the linchpins of the guns drawn and dung about, and other expedients were resorted to, to show their anger, and to create a disturbance. These proceedings having been repotted to Commander Chambers, be immediately mute. tered the men, bnt a great many did not come ow deck. and 40 of them were put in irons. The men were suitably ad.. dressed on the impropriety of their conduct by Commander Chain ben, but when they were piped down again the disturbance via renewed with greater violence. The men were then mustered et divisions, but it was without avail, for ne sooner were t h ey dis missedisionsthan they recommenced their violence. T h e comm a n der then proceeded to the lower deck , and while tra v er s ing it a pin was thrown and struck the lantern carried by the quarter. master, the lights being out at the time, and insolent expressimee, were uttered under cover of the darkness. Hammocks wtl e piped down, and no sooner were they down than piped up again, and this was repeated three times until the fellows were pretty well drilled into better behaviour. On the following morning it AU discovered that a gun tackle and the breeching of two guns had had been t them , m a s horean d ldibuerriantgedtitel eithreeptshsiepr seven, h i o n ' to it btaflhffeeignsiger:nci ingt, , s t isw . reohmne c bsnl a e p i t Captain crewl o rk yaenrd. admonishedw• h o b i l s ue su w ppxe r. d_. wi l l we,k g re et a coa so ser. unill vative. NORTON KEWSTOKE. SUICIDE.-011 Saturday List, .lances Lovell, a labouring man, committed suicide by hanging himself. It is generally thought that the fact of being unable to pay his rent for the cot in which he lived was the cause of his committing this act. On Tuesday an inquest was held before Daniel Ashford, Esq., and a verdict of felo-de-se was returned.— Somerset County Gazette. __-., r 45. '~
