The statue of Eve, which arrived on Saturday, was unpacked this morning. It is represented in a reclining posture, and is the work of M. Van der Ven, an artist celebrated for his religious pieces. It was executed at Rome. The result of the deliberations which we mentioned as having been held at Osborne between the illustrious chief of the Commission and several members of the Executive Committee, have become known in part. The Exhibition is to be closed early in October, with a ceremony similar to the opening, in which her Ddejesty and the Prince Consort will take part. FRANCE. Joseph Rusiecki, one of the oldest and the most distinguished of the Polish emigrants in France, died a few rays since, in the hospital at Vierzon. He was born in 1770, and commenced his military career in 1787. He fought against the Russians in 1794, under the command of the immortal Kosciusko. After th'i partition of Poland he entered the service of the French Republic, fondly hoping like many , others - who were equally deceived that his country a inde pendence would be restored through French influence. He made the campaigns of Italy with the First Consul, and formed part of the expedition to Domingo under Ruchambeau. He served subse quently in the Cuirassiers, commanded by General 1- 7 1.autpoul, who died in his arms on the sanguinary Seld of Eylau. On the Cuirassiers who were cut to pieces in that battle being re-organised, it was observed to Napoleon that Lieutenant Rusiecki was s not the height for a Cuirassier. The Emperor com manded him to alight, and placing himsel f back to back with him, he remarked t o hi s a id e- d e-camp, "You are mistaken, Sir, h e i s no t a dwarf, ae'd he e- i c s am m p ; size," and at the same time he promoted him to the rank of captain in that corps.

A few days ago, says the Freese, a farmer, who is mayor of a commune in the arrondissement of Montmedy, was much embarrassed, his wife having three days before been delivered of a child, and the deputy mayor, who should have received the legal declaration, being dead. In this embarrassment the mayor drew up and executed the following declara tion :—" This day, accompanied by my witnesses (he . re the witnesses are named), I appeared before myself, as mayor of the commune, for the purpose of ueclaring to myself that my wife has been brought to bed with a living child. On my inquiry as to the sex of the child, and as to who were its father and mother, I replied to myself that it is of the masculine sex, and the son of myself, Francois Prottin, and of Marie Lascende, his wife. In virtue of which I have signed the present with myself, mayor, and the aforesaid wit nesses, " FRANCIS PROTTIN, mayor, " FRANCI4 PROTTIN, the father." LIBERATION OF KOSSUTH. We are glad to be in a position to confirm the expec t htions put forth in the journals as to the probable ter mination of the deteniku of Louis Kossuth in the Tur kish territory. We believe that Kossuth, and the few other distinguished martyrs to the cause of the consti tutional struggle in Hungary, who still remain under surveillance in the Turkish States, will be set at liberty on the 15th of . Septeruber—that is, the day observed as the first of the month by the Turks, who follow the old szjle of reckuning. It cannot be denied that the Otto man Government has behaved, in reference to those un fortuume refugees, in a manner that would do no dis credit to the highest and proudeit of the Christian na tion B—the old monarchies of Christendom, es they de light to call the.nselvcs—the people, who arrogate to themselves the position of holding the vanguard of modern civilisation. The Turks have behaved to these distinguished but nnprosperous exiles most honourably and most hospitably—beset as they are by the most powerful and vindictive importuni ties to surrender or betray tt.eir guests the guest; of misfortune and defeat. Upon the whole of these transactions the Government 0; she Ottoman Porte hove behaved nobly and well. If they could nut do all they wished in favour of their illustrious guests—still more dignified by stern mistortnn,., and not dishonour able defeat—they, at least, protected them from wrong and insult, and are now about to set the remnant of them completely and entirely free.—Sunday Paper. LAUNCH OF THE TIMES SCREW STEAM- T-E SSEL. The banks of the Clyde at Govern presented an unusually gay aid animated scene last week, occa sioned by the launch of another beautiful screw vessel, called the Times, built by Messrs. Smith and Rodgers. She is upon the same model as that of the far-famed European (by the same builders). Tier dimensions are as follows :-160 feet long, 22 feet breadth outside (21f inside), 141 feet depth over all (13 feet inside from ceiling to ceiling). Her cabins are on a new plan, constructed on deck, and contain berths for forty-two class pas- sengers, besides captain and officers' berths. She is built expressly for the trade between Dublin and Liverpool, to ply in connexion with two paddle steamers, St. Columb and St. Kieran. Her 'twixt decks are fitt e d up f or catt l e, so as to contain 150 to 200 head, and the hatches are so constructed that the cattle can walk into the hold, which will save the an noyance and trouble of slinging. She is to be pro pelled by two engines of $O-inch cylinders each, 2} feet in stroke, on the gearing principle, made by Messrs. Smith and Rodgers, and with a propeller nine feet diameter, and is expected to be one of the fistest screw-steamers yet finished in the Clyde. This steamer's keel was laid down on the sth of June last, and she will be finished and ready fur sea by the end of the month. Messrs. Thomas Wingate and Co., 'Whiteinch, are now building the screw-steamer Mail, of similar 'dimensions and power, as a consort for the Times. She is to have 60 feet of a spar deck forward, fitted up for cattle, besides the holds. After the launch was over the company which had assembled in Messrs. Rodgers and Co.'s yard, by the invitation of R. P. Stephens, Esq., the owner of the vessel, adjourned to a place fitted up in a temporary way, to drink " Success to the Times." Immediately afterwards another animated scene presented itself on the banks of the Clyde, which excited the deepest interest amongst the leading shipbuilders and engi neers assembled on this occssion—viz , the launch of e model belonging to Captain Carpenter,R.N , fitted ou the duplex rudder and screw propeller Pr i nc i p l e, which glided swiftly across the Clyde, to the astonish ment of the spectators; and afterwards it p,rformed several evolutions to prove the correctness of th e principle. It turned round, by the aid of two rud ders, in about once and a half its own length. The people interested expressed themselves per fectly satisfied of the correctness of the principle, which, it is said, will be tried on Mr. Stephens's new vessel, the Mgt, immediately.

AN AGED AMERICAN LADY.—The Boston Saturday -Evening Gazette says that there is an old lady by the name of Frost, now living in Eaten, New Hampshire, who can say, "Arise, daughter, and go to thy daughter, for thy daughter's daughter has a daughter." She is ninety-five Yetas old. THE SUN, THE LATE ATTEMPT AT MURDER AND SUICIDE AT IPSWICII. The particulars connected with this tragical affair, so far as they came out before the Coroner and jury on Wednesday last, have already appeared in The Sun. _ _ _ _ An adjournment of the inquest was on Wednesday agreed on, in order that the intended victim, Martha Moyse, whose life the suicide James Wailing, was frustrated in taking, should be so far recovered from the wounds she had received as to give evidence. It was believed at the adjournment of the inquest on Wednesday that she would not have been able to leave her room for four or five days, but her recovery has been so rapid, that her medical attendant, Mr. G. G. Sampson, consented to her appearing on Friday evening last before the Coroner (Mr. S. B. Jackaman) and jury, who had re-assembled at the Feathers Inn for the purpose of her depositions being taken. Martha Moyse, who is a good-looking young woman, was led into the room by a police-officer. She looked pale, and could scarcely walk. Her left arm was supported in a sling, and the wound under her right lower jaw, which extended in an angular direction from the hinder part of the ear to the corner of her mouth, was strapped up with plaster. In the course of her examination restoratives had to be ad ministered to prevent her fainting. Having been sworn, she said, in answer to questions from the Coroner—l am 19 years of age, and lam a single woman. I have no friends. About two months ago the deceased, James Wailing, invited me to go and meal with him and his sister. I did go. A short time after that he asked me to sleep, with his sister. He said I could do so without paying any thing for the accommodation. At the time he made me that offer I was at lodgings at the house of a Mrs. Mur• rell, in the Bramfcrd-road; and I gave up my lodg ings in the Bramford-road, for which I paid, and slept with Wailing's sister for two nights in the same room in which the deceased slept. After having slept with his sister two nights I used to sleep with the deceased, which I continued to do up to last Sunday night. The reason of my not returning to sleep wilh him after then was not from any misunderstanding or angry words passing between us. I refuse to state where I slept last Monday night. The CORONER—When did you last see the de ceased ? Witness—On Tuesday afternoon. The de ceased's sister, Sarah, having come to me while I was at a house close by, and asked me three times to go and see her at her own house, I at last consented to go with her. The CORONER—Who was in the house when you went there P Witnesse—The deceased; he was stand ing behind the door when I went in. Tile CORONER—Did you speak to him, or did he speak toy ou ? Witness—He first spoke to me, say ing, " Well, Martha." His sister then went out 01 the house, pulling the door to after her. He then sat down in a chair behind the door, and pulled me on his knee. He said to rne, " Well, Martha, we are alone now." I said, " Yes, we are." He then said to me, "I Suppose you have left Baldry ?" I answered, " Yes, I have." He said to me, on my saying that, "I suppose you have left me too ?" I told him that I had not, though I intended to do so. The CORONER—During the time this conversation took place, was there anything in his demeanour or countenance that gave reason to be alarmed ?—Wit ness—No, nothing at all to create the least suspicion in my mind that he intended to harm me; but while I was sitting upon his knee I happened to turn my eyes towards the window, when I saw a razor in his right hand. It was open. He then looked very angry. He said to me, holding up the razor, " This will do your business." I then screamed out, and tried to throw myself from his arms, but he grasped me so tightly round my waist with bis left arm that I could not disengage myself from him. I then struggled with bim, when he threw me down upon the floor en my left side. He placed his knees upon my body, and tried to cut my throat. The CORONER—Were you screaming all this while ? Witness—Yes, Sir, I was as loudly as I could. I felt him struggling to get at my throat, and I used all my efforts to prevent him cutting me there. I had my shawl on, and I used that to protect me as well as I could. During the struggle .1 got hold of the razor with my left band, but finding that I had bold of it he drew it through my hand, which was rendered useless by the wound it gave me. Then it was that he cut me under the right side of my face underneath the lower jaw. At that very moment a woman named Teager opened the door and came into the room. From that time I became insensible, knowing not what afterwards happened until I found my self upon the bed of a neighbour. The motive the deceased had for acting as he did I am at a loss to understand. He might be jealous of me. If he were so, I sin 2 not aware of it. A Juror (Mr. Sentoo)—Did the deceased ever offer 3ou any money, or hold out any inducement tor you to consent to marry him ? Witness—No. A Juror—Did he ever offer you marriage? Wit ness—he did. A Juror—Did you comply with his wish, so fsr as to promise him that you would marry ? Witness —I promised him that I would not. The CORONER—When was that offer made ? %Vit ness—l cannot tell exactly; but I believe the offer was made about a month ago. The CORONER—You at once declined the offer. Did you ? Witness—l did, Sir. The CORONER—Did he repeat the offer to you ? Witness—No, be did not; but his sister did on two, if not on three occasions afterwards. A Juror—Did he ever give you any money with the understanding that you should marry him? Wit ness—Never. Another Juror—Did you go to the theatre with the deceased lag Monday evening ? Witness—No. The Juror—When was the last time you want with him to the theatre? Witness—l cannot remember the night. The CORONER—WhiIe you knew the deceased did you observe anything in his conduct to induce you to behove that he at any time was unconscious of what he was about, or that he was at times nut a rational being ? Witness—No; quite the contrary. A Juror—Do you know whether he ever lost any money ? Witness—l once heard him say that he had lost 61, but I did not believe it. I thought he had spent it. A Juror—Did not the deceased on one occasion pick your pocket? Witness—He did; but he after wards returned to me what he took from me. The CORONER, in summing up the evidence, said that the deceased, beyond all doubt, intended to mur der Martha Moyse; but the point for them to consi der was, whether, at the time he committed self murder, he was in such a state of mind that he knew perfectly well what he was about. From the evi dence adduced there could be no doubt of that; but it was for the jury to say whether he was so or not. The jury, after a tew minutes' consultation, re turned the following verdict :--" Temporary insa nity," to the surprise of every person present. THE RECENT COLLIERY ACCIDENT. BEDMINSTER, FRIDAY. — The Coroner resumed the investigation this afternoon. A great deal of evidence was adduced, but it was principally confirmatory of that which we have already given. We now subjoin such details as are new, in order to complete the case. The CORONER observed, since yesterday the whole of the rope had been recovered, and placed for the inspection of the jury in the yard. Ellis, the banksman, recalled, said he had heard no complaints of the rope being defective till last Friday, when Mr. Reynolds spoke to him about it; be told Pillinger of it the same day. It was cut and spliced in consequence; that was the new rope; be believed the ropes were strong enough. In answer to the CORONER, Inspector Alexander said he did not believe that any of the rope had been kept back. John Webster, coal miner, deposed that at the time of the aecident he was working in the pit at the first level, about sixteen or eighteen yards from the shaft. He Lead the noise of the falling rope; witness knew the rope was unsafe; he did not object to going down with five men, but he considered two more would have been too many; on Saturday morning witness told two men to get off because of the unsafe condition of the rope; Pillin g er was present and must have heard him. Binding had been discharged a for complaining about the rope. William Binding re-called—About twelvemonths ago he was working in the same pit for the same mas ters ; the rope broke in bringing up a load of coal ; witness complained, and Newman the bailiff said '`Thee shan't go there again , thee hest too much mouth;" he was discharged. Witness was taken on again, but felt intimidated from complaining; about fortnight ago he said to some companions, 6, there is a faulty puirtiog it out. James Fryer deposed that he bad been intimately connected with the management of collieries several years ; he had seen the rope in the yard, and was of opinion that it was hardly stout enough; when a rope was worn so b a d as th i s it ought to be repa i re d ; fur a pit of 240 fathoms the ro p e oug ht t o have been nine inches in wid,h. By Mr. Bevan—The s.ze of the rope would depend on the depth of the pit and the weight to be brought up; he had known a pit in Gloucestershire where a rope brought up nine men in a hu(let with safety, but it was broken when the empty bucket was sent down. I.ll , )mas Situms re-examined—Did not consider the rope a suitable one, or to be Ifpended upon ; it ought to have been eight inches wide, and made of eight ropes. John Parsons, a miner, was in the pit at the time of the accident; he heard the rope fall, the rush of wind put out his light. Before they went down in the morning they complained of the rope; two of the be e iT n ngh s o i u n m e nas e sa d rT e e a n d e th e jumped off. Witness had been out of work som e weeks; in consequence of the pit oyey boseeedn thatafrai o d n t t o be go m u o p rn a i n ng d odown.the When made up in From what When PLACES..

I accident he saw twodben cut off the broken end of 'be rope n-at to the drum, and Mr, Stewart carried it away ; there was no splice attached to it ; he would swear the piece produced was not the piece so cut off. Some other evidence of a like nature was given, chiefly relating to the alleged defective state of the rope, after which The CORONER summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against Moses Gilderoy Stewart and Henry Pillinger, who were accordingly committed far trial on the coroner's warrant. CHALLENGE OF THE NEW YORK YACHT CLUB TO 'FRE ENGLISH ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON. Cowls, AVG. 13.—The yachting world here is in a state of excitement as to the course which will be taken by the owner of the America, who as yet has rather mystified it. On the other hand, the owners having given a general challenge, are waiting till it is taken up. So far as I could come at the truth, and make out the result of a good deal of correspondence, the case stands thus :—When the America arrived, on the 2d of Au gust, at Cowes, Commodore Stevens issued the following challenge : The New York Yacht Club, in order to test the re lative merits of the different models of the schooners of the Old and the New World. propose, through Commo dore Stevens, to the Royal Yacht Squadron, to run the yacht America against any number of schooners belong ing to any of the yacht squadrons of the kingdom, to be selected by the Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squad ron. The course to be in some part of the English Channel, outside of the Isle of Wight, with at least a six-knot breeze. This trial of speed to be made at au early day, to be selected by the Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron. The fact whether there be such a breeze on the appointed day to be decided by the Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron. And, it on that day there shall not be at least a six-knot breeze, then on the first day thereafter that such a breeze shall blow." Here is the gage thrown down to the whole kingdom, the only atipulatton being that the America is to be matched with schooners, and that she must at least have a six knot breeze. The Royal Yacht Squadron immedi ately made Commodore Stevens and his brother, who is owner of the America, and Colonel Hamilton, who had come over in her, honorary members of the club; and in a letter dated the Bth of August, Commodore Stevens thanked the committee of the Royal Yacht Squadron for their courtesy, and stated that be would sail in the re gatta of the 13th. ,fhe greateitinterest was of course tell in the forthcoming event, which certainly promised to be the most important in the annals of yachting; but on the 11th of August Commodore Stevens wrote to Mr. BAes, secretary to the Roy al Yacht Squadron, stating 'hat after he had signified his intention to run on the 13. h, he had declared he would start against cutter, schooner, or vessel of any other rig of the Royal Yacht Squadron, on any day before the 17th instant, and that, hen-fore, he must bee to be persuitt, d to withdraw from ::is entry on the 13ib. The reason assigned is by no means satisfactory—at all events, it has not much korce about it, and the yaohtmen are half inclined to regard it as a'• dodging excuse;" but meantime the Acvericans rest confident in their challenge, and declare they will run against any yacht for any stake up to 10,000/. It is believed the America will start for the Royal Yacht Squadron Cup, value 100 guineas, on Fri day; undue autime it is reported that Mr. Wild, of the Alarm cutter, 193 tons, has sent in a reply to the chal lenge, though at three o'clock to day Commodore Stevens knew nothing of it. The Americans have sent in a request to the Royal Yacht Squadron's sailing com mittee to be allowed to " boom out," which is against the rules, but it is believed the committee will grant. the request, the same liberty, of course, being granted to her competitors. The reason assigned for making the application is, that the great rake in the America's masts prevents her having the full advantage of her sails in a match unless she " booms them out." She has remained quietly at her moorings ever since her arrival, with one exception, when she took a stretch towards Spithead under easy sail, and crept away, nevertheless, from several yachts on the same course. It is rumoured that on her way frOm Havre she literally ran away, hand over hand, from a new cut ter of 60 tons, and that she " sailed round another," and, truth to tell, some gentlemen connected with the clubs have a wholesome dread of her, and think we have caught a Tartar. The owner is most courteous to all visitors, and conducts them over his yacht, which, whatever may be her sailing powers, must be regarded a model of elegant comfort inside. Her cabins, berths, &0., aro fitted up in the beat taste, with every attention to economy of space and in a style of luxurious simplicity. It would be difficult to describe her appearance without the aid of the pencil. She has a low black hull, two noble "sticks of extreme rake," without an extra rope, and is altogether the beau ideal of what one is accustomed to read about in Cooper's novels. When close to her you see that her bow is as sharp as a knife blade, and is "scooped away," as it were, outwards, till it swells towards the stern, the aides gra dually springing outwards, as round as an apple, till a little forward of the mainmast, where she has her greatest beam, being there 22 feet and some inches across. Her stern is remarkably broad and wide and full, afford ing great accommodation on deck as well as below. She has no bulwarks—at least, they are not above nine or ten inches high. Thus she differs most materially from our vessels, and if she be right (as the Marquis of Aeglesoy said) why we must all be wrong." Standing at the stern and looking forward, the deck is nearly of a wedge-shape, the extreme beam being, as I have stated it, the bow as sharp as the apex of a triangle, and the stern not very much less than the extreme breadth of beam. Her crew are very fine active looking seamen, and altogether, sail when sbe will, she is not to be de spised by the best boat we have seen, if appearances gu for anything. During the regatta at Ryde, on Friday last, the aqua 'iron of vessels which followed the sailit g yachts were joined by tit, celebrated American yacht America, which has hurled such defiance to ail competitors; and, from the manner in which, one by one, she soon distanced them, she satisfactorily proved that the pretensions of " Brother Jonathan " to superiority was no idle boast. and the numerous spectators had a most convincing de monstration that her clipper-build and swift sailing bad not been overrated. In tact, the " Great American was the theme of general conversation, and attracted as much attention as the mach ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA. COWES, SUNDAY AFTERNOON.—Since the establish ment of the annual regatta by this celebrated club, none of the recur►ing festivals has been of so interesting a nature as the one to commoice to-morrow. The Virtu, generally so full at this asaaon of the year, is now mo e than usually so, and the veatest interest is everywhere manifest on the aubji.ct of the cup for Friday, in which the celebrated American yacht is entered. Some d.,tibt is entertained regarding her starting, but if she does it is r,euefless to say she will prove a very formidable opponent to all who may contend with her. Three races are all that are Set filled, but more are spoken of, though the preliminaries are not yet reified. The following is a list of the complete entries up to the latest moment:— _ Monday, Aug. 18.—Rer Majesty's Cup, to be sailed for by Royal Yacht Squadron cutters, from SO and under 100 tons. Queen's Cup Course. It is settled that they go to tee eastward on starting, to Yarmouth down round the Nab, and back to Cowes to finish :—The Delia, 75 tons, Mr. T. Hodges; Gondola, 87, Mr. W. Woodhouse; Gauntlett, 65, Mr. W. Peareth; Freak, 66, Mr. W. Curling; Lavrock, 65, Captain C. Williams; Bacchante, 80, Mr. B. H. Jones; Arrow, 84, Mr. T. Chamber layne.

SEABOKNE MAILS [N signifies that the mails are sent from the General Post-ollia• by the night—and , d by the morning—dispatch.) IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY. FURTHER DEFIANCE OF THE PENAL LAW.— Whatever technical doubts may have arisen as to the legality or otherwise of the prefix assumed by " Paul Cullen, Archbishop, Primate of all Ireland," the name of a see or a locality being omitted, Dr. BPHale has resolved that none shall exist as far as he concerned, and in order that there may be "no mis take " on his part, and that no lack of " pluck " shall be laid to the charge of so veritable a " lion," " his Grace" has addressed another letter to the De• fence Committee, from which it will be seen that the well-known signature is appended in the teeth of the recent Penal Act of Parliament. The following is a copy : " St. Jarlath's, Team, Aug. 13, 1851. " Gentlemen,—l beg respectfully to acknowledge your kind letter of invitation to be present at the coming great aggregate meeting of the Catholics of Ireland. " As the hierarchy has been the body at which in the first instance the recent persecuting enactments have been aimed, and as they are the persons peculiarly con cerned in these results, we ought to feel grateful for the affectionate solicitude with which the laity, ever faithful to their pastors, are now rallying round them to guard them from dangers in which their own dearest interests, civil as well as religious, would not fail soon to be involved. " No doubt it will be a matter of surprise that you should invite to your meeting defunct persons, atter having first nobly combated, and then sorrowfully wit. erased, the passing ut the decree that doomed them to civil annihilation. " It appears from this that you entertain still a strong conviction that the Catholic hierarchy is not dead not withstanding the recent Act of Parliament. Though there may be a diversity of opinion as yet on that point, I trust that numbers of these venerable individual-, whom the bigotry of the English Ministers deems mere phanthoms, will present tnemselves ut your meeting, in vested with all the attributes of life, cheering by their presence and their sympthy the generous people who are resolved, as ofien before, to share the vicissitudes ut their fortune; and, as for me, 1 hope to be able to form an humble member of the disowned body, in the un changed identity of the same person with which I have the honour to subscribe myself, gentlemen, your very faithful and obliged servant, "t-1 JOHN, Archbishop of Tuam. John Reynolds, Esq., M.P. William Keogh, Esq.. M.P. The Tablet expresses its perfect " delight" with the letter of the venerable archbishop of the " west," but. what most tickles the fancy of this ultramontane organ is the "unchanged courage with which his Grace persists in assuming the style and title of Archbishop of Tuam." The " Bishops" of Notting ham and Hexham are in equal favour as violators of the Act of Parliament. "The signature of this latter Prelate" to his recent letter, it seems, "is incorrectly given"—it was signed " Hexham" only, "but it is obvious that he, as well as his two co-prelates, means to assume the titles which are forbidden by the new law." This, at least, is satisfactory. But particular tention is re quested to a still brighter gem which adorns the columns of the Tablet. Speaking of the aggregate meeting, the writer commences in the fol lowing strain of true orthodoxy:— "As the time for holding the aggregate meeting draws near it becomes more arid more certain that the demonstration will be worthy of the occasiun. Our reader. already know that the Primate, the Archbishop of Armagh—the only Archbishop of Armagh (a certain Lord John Ge-rge Beresford, who sometimes receives That title. b,•ing the merest of shams and imp, stors)— ale successor or St. Patrick, the representative of th, Holy See and of St. Peter's chair, the chiet teacher of Christianity in this island, authorised and commissioned as such by oar blessed Lord and Saviour, has been re quested and has kindly given his consent to occupy the chair. Cardinal %,‘ iserr au and all the other archbishops and bishops in the three kingdoms—not, we repeat, in cluding in that description the superintendents of certain Protestant congregations appointed by the State to re ceive stolen goods and to teach falsehood, but all the archbishops who are archbish , ,ps, and all the bishops who are bishops, have been invited to support his Grace on this occasion, and to lend the weight of their influence and authority to this great event." THE " CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY." The Lord Cardinal has at length held up big head and made sign. His Eminence has addressed the subjoined letter to the University Committee express ing his sympathy with their labours, and intimating his intention of giving them his aid in the great work of fostering religious dissensions between the two classes of the Queen's subjects in Ireland. Here is the manifesto of the " illustrious metropolitan of the British Churcb," as the Freeman's Journal styles him : " 25, Cadogan-street, Chelsea, Aug. 18. " Having perused with sincere interest the address of the committee appointed by the Synod of Thurles for founding a Catholic University in Ireland, to the Catho lic clergy and laity in England, dated the Feast of St. James ut this year, we hereby warmly recommend it to the consideration of those to whom it is directed, as sured that its own earnest and glowing words will plead 'sore powerfully than any that we can write. The noble and truly Catholic sympathy which Ireland has shown with our trials claims from every English Catholic a corresponding feeling, and now especially, that we may say of the children of the Church and their pastors in both i!latids--`.Eadem fides et passio vere fecit esse ger rnanos: Whatever is oone in Ireland to protect the faith and secure a pure religious education must be con sithred as a common work, perromed for a common got d. In this sentiment of the address we heartily agrt.e: and though multiplied are our wants at home, we trust that the generosity of English Catholics will not fall below the high estimate which the Irish prelates have formed of them. " While thus we venture to address our sentiments on this subject to all our Catholic brethren in England, we further auttacriso collections to be made in all places within the limits of our spritual jurisdiction among the faithful by the Rev. Micha": Hope and the Rev. Francis M . Gunry, who have been appointed by th e U n i vers ity Committee to boltett contributions. " N. Curditial WisEmsN."

A BLIND WATCHMAREII.—There is living at Holbeach, Lincolnshire, a watchmaker named Rippin, com pletely blind. He is a first-rate hand at his business, and it is truly surprising to observe with what ease he can take to pieces and place together again watches of the mot delicate mechanism. Some years ago Rippin was robbed, and the property taken consisted of watch-wheels, hair springs, and other tiny things belonging to the trade. The thief was traced, and convicted at Spalding sessions, and the writer of this paragraph saw the blind man swear to his property by feeling.—Stamford Mercury. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Aug. 16. Thomas Williamson, aged 40, and Thorns Egerton, aged 41, were charged with the manslaughter of Ti mothy O'Neil and eight other persons, at Manchester, on the 25th of last March. Mr. Monk and Mr. Pollock conducted the prosecu tion ; Mr. Seger defended the prisoner Williamson and Mr. Wheeler the other prisoner. The prisoner Williamson was the proprietor of a circular saw-mill, in Riga-street, Manchester, and the prisoner Egerton had the management of the steam-engine and boiler connected with the mill. It appeared from the evidence of one of the workmen, named David Read, that on the 25th of March last, at two o'clock, he saw the prisoner Egerton in the en gine-house packing the cylinder-lid to keep it tight, and the witness,' along with three other workmen, as sisted him to get the lid down, whilst Egerton screwed it down. After this Egerton asked the witness and a workman named Sunderland to start the engine. They tried to move the fly-wheel with a lever, but it would not stir, and Egerton then moved his starting rod and said, "I will start her whether I break aught or naught." There did not, however, appear to be any steam, and Egerton said, " There is no steam ; by G---, it's a case." Immediately after the witness heard a great noise and was knocked down ; the building was blown down and he was in the midst of the ruins. A little before the explosion Egerton went to the throttle valve and tried to blow some steam into the cylinder. No steam came, but there was a blue glimmer in the cylinder. Mr. Fairbairn, an engineer, who had paid much attention to the causes of boiler explosions, said be had examined the boiler in question after the explo sion ; it was 6 ft. 2 in. in diameter and made of plates 6-16ths of an inch thick. The internal flue was raised six or seven inches above the bottom. There were two internal stays riveted to the ends of the boiler and to the flue. The boiler appeared to have been well made, with the exception that there ought to have been two more stays at each end. The opinion he had formed of the cause of the explosion was that the plates had been red-hot, and a portion of the in ternal flue not covered with water, and that this had caused the boiler to burst from the high pressure of the steam engend , red. The cylinder could not have become red hot had it been covered with water. His opinion was, from the appearance of the safety valve, that it must either have been made fast or become so by accident at the time of the explo , ion. It would not matt( r how strong the boiler was if the safety valve were fast. The boiler in question was strong enough to generate steam for a 25-horse power engine. The blue Token of by the last witness was what was called "dry steam." The diameter of the safety valve wss three inches. It would have been better had it been of four inches diameter, but even that would have been inoperative if weighted too much. He had no fault to find with the weighting of this valve; assuming that there had been a proper supply of water, the weight would have been right. The feed valve was a self-acting one, but no water could get in when the engine was not at work. It was dangerous to allow a large fire to remain under the boiler from one o'clock to a quarter to three with out the engine being at work. The engineer bad the power of turfing water into the boiler or into A Cis. tern Supposing the plates at the time to be red hot, the effect of turning cold water upon them would be to raise the pressure of the steam. Cross-examined by Mr. SD:UR—The prisoner Wil liamson was only the tenant of the boiler-engine and saw-mill. The boiler and appurtenances were suf ficient for such works. It appeared from the evidence of Sunderland that at ten minutes to two o'clock he saw the steam blowing off from the safety-valve. The prisoner Williamson at twenty minutes past two asked why the engine had not started. Williamson complained that such work would not do ; he must have a change. It appeared from the evidence of other witnesses that at twenty minutes past two o'clock the steam was blowing off, and four or five men were assisting Egerton to screw the cylinder lid down. A witness named Mulloy saw the prisoner Egerton pull the weight of the safety-valve further down towards the end of the lever, and thus increase the weight on the valve. The steam then stopped blowing. Shortly afterwards the explosion took place. A witness named Hay stated that he saw the float and the balance-weight up to the pulley, showing that there was a deficiency of water. The safety-valve wus weighted down, and no steam was then blowing off. There was a 6lb. additional weight tied to the end of the valve. He told the prisoner Egerton that the boiler was nearly empty of water, and Egerton replied that he bad nothing to do with it. About five minutes after the explosion took place. An engineer, ❑amed Higgins, who had examined the boiler, said it had been red-hot, which would have the effect of collapsing the flue and generating the steam to such an extent that the boiler must explode. Mr. Hartley, boiler-maker, of Ancoats, who made the boiler, said the plates were of Thornycroft iron, and that it was stayed by two diagonal stays equal to 801 b. He never saw the engine worked at more than 251 b. the square inch. Ten days before he had seen the boiler short of water, and had told both the prisoners of it. Egerton said he knew it Was short of water, it leaked, and Williamson said to him by way of reproof." Tom Hartley has caught us without water again." The boiler would have lasted many years with ordinary care. _ _ _ A witness named Dearden stated that after the ex plosion he had examined the ruins of Williamson's place, and had found the body of John Hulme crushed under the boiler. He was quite dead. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. SEGAR here asked his Lordship if he thought there was any case against Williamson. His LORDSHIP said he thought nothing had been shown to show any criminality on his part, and he was then ordered to be dhcharged. Mr. WHEELER then addressed the jury on the part of Egerton, in which he contended that there was no negligence on the part of his client, but that the acci• dent arose out of the detective state of the boiler. lie afterwards called Mr. James Poliett, who stated that the prisoner had been in his service about three years, and had been an engine-driver for upwards of twenty years. lie was a steady man, and understood his business well. His LORDSHIP, in summing up, went through the whole of the evidence with great care, and After a short consultation of the jury, they re turned a verdict of Guilty. Tne prisoner was sentenced to six' months impri sonment with hard labour. The trial lasted upwards of seven hours. The Court adjourned at half-past seven o'clock last night. The cases tried to-day were not interesting. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Gloucester, Aug 15. The assizes closed here ro day, at three o'clock. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr atron MARTIN Thomas Smith, 23, Richard Smith, 27, and James Brown, 21, labourers, and all marked in the calendar as able to read and write imperfectly, were indicted for assaulting, beating, and wounding one Joseph Jones, on the 15th of July, at `Vest Dean, in the Forest of Dean, and putting him in bodily fear, and robbing him of a metal watch, a gold key, a gold seal, 25., a snuff-box, and other articles. Mr. Skinner and Mr. Cripps conducted the prose cution ; Mr. Cooke defended the two Smiths, and Mr. Huddlestone defended Brown. It appeared that the prosecutor, who is a clock maker, and about 60 years of age, was out on busi , news on the 14th of July, in the neighbourhood of Coleford, in the Forest. He went to three or four public-houses, and in the course of the evening called at the Feathers, about one mile and a half from Cole ford, and there saw the prisoners and a woman named Sophy Smith. He left that house about two o'clock in the morning, and was then, as he swore, sober, though he had had something to drink. After he left the prisoners and Sophy Smith came up to him, and Brown, the prosecutor admitted, appeared to be " fresh," and was singing. Tnere had been a club meeting that night at the Feathers, and the house was cleared out by the police soon after two o'clock. Jones's house was about three miles from Coleford, a little be yond Bury-hill. The prisoners went with Jones as far as Bury-hill turnpike, and there bid him good-bye, and he went on homewards. " I went on," said he, "till I came to within about 120 yards of my own house, and did not see or hear anything till I received a violent blow on my head. When I received the blow I turned my head round, and I saw Thomas Smith and James Brown close behind me. lam positive as to them. Thomas Smith Ns as in the act of striking me again with a stick. I said, " You can rob me without murdering me." They did not speak. The blows came in rapid succession; one blow broke my jaw in two places. I fell down, and I remember, as I fell, saying, "Oh, dear!" and that is the last I remember. It was a moonlight morning, and it was light enough. It appeared as though it was daylight. Thomas Smith and Brown were dressed as they were when I saw them at the pubiic. house. When I recovered my senses Brown was stooping over me, and was searching my pockets, and Thomas Smith said at some sound or signal, "It is all right," and they ran away in the di rec ti on o f Colesford and of Thomas Smith's house. I got up, and went to my house and about four o'clock went with my two sons to Coleford, to a surgeon's, and to give information to the pike." Mason, a policeman, said he cleared the Feathers at a quarter past two o'clock that morning, and amongst the persons there were the prisoners and the prosecutor, who was in company with a man named Teague, and remained after the prisoners. Thomas Smith and Brown came back twice, and asked Jones if be was coming home. Teague remained in the house all night. The prisoners and Jones went Gut last. Jones walked steadily, and appeared to be sober. Jones came to the station about five o'clock in the morning, and made a complaint, end witness went and apprehended Brown at his mother's house, where also Thomas Smith lodged. Brown was in bed and undressed. Jones said he had been robbed by Thomas Smith and a man in a brown jacket; but did not mention Brown's name. Brown's Jacket was of a brown colour. There were seven or eight other men besides the prisoners and the prose cutor in the Feathers before he cleared it out. Several witnesses corroborated the prosecutor's statement as to the fact of the prisoners Thomas Smith and Brown being on the road near him when he was attacked. Two men passed them, and bade them a good morning a few hundred yards from the spot where he was knocked down. Another swore he saw them running away from the spot towards their home, and Richard Smith running towards his in another direction. The stick with which Jones was beaten was broken off a gate near the scene of the robbery, and was taken home by him. Jones said that Thomas Smith wore a blue smockfrock. One of the witnesses for the prosecution named Harris, who wore a blue smockfrock that night, and who, as he appeared in the witness-box, certainly was not unlike Smith, swore that he was in a quarry that night by the side of the road where Jones passed, about 113 yards from the spot where he was attacked, and saw him pass by, and afterwards saw the prisoners Thomas Smith and Brown running away. This man, in cross-examination, admitted that he had been six times tried for felonies, and once convicted, and that he lived about 113 ylrds from the scene of the rob bery, and was out that morning to sell whinberries. For Brown an alibi was set up, but failed ; and he and Thomas Smith were convicted, and Richard Smith was acquitted. Against the two former sen tence of death was recorded. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Aug. 16. THEATRICAL FAILURE. An order forheling — was issued in the case of Mr. Joseph Stammers, the late lessee of the Marylebone Theatre. It will be recollected that Mr. Stammers was the manager of the Wednesday concerts at Exeter Hull, and that through his speculation in those concerts be became insolvent, and was discharged under the Act in September last. Soon after his then appearance he became lessee of the Marylebone Theatre, which he carried on for some month., and to that speculation his present appearance is attrihwed. The deb's, as appears from the schedule which has just been flied, exceed 2,0001., and many meinb• rs of the corps dra matique are inserted as creditors for balance of sala ries. Hi* accounts show that he paid their salaries for some time, and he is now indebted to them be tween 300/. :,nd 4001. The present accounts com mence in October and end in May, when he was arrested. There are three detaining. creditors, one of whom is Mr. James Sheridan Knowles, who is a creditor by the Dramatic Society for the performance of his plays. The hearing of the case is appointed for the 23,1 of Sep ember next, and until that period Mr. Stammers will remain in durance vile.

On Saturday the justice-room was densely i crowded in consequence of its having become gene rally known that the Lord Mayor had determined upon investigating the circumstances attending the death of a labouring man named 1\ illiam Hogan, alias John Bull, upon whose body an inquest had been held before Mr. Payne, the coroner, about a fortnight since, when the jury returned a verdict of " Man slaughter against some person or persons unknown." The death of the deceased was alleged to have oc• curred from violence used towards him by a constable of the City police. Mr. Pearson, the City solicitor, attended as adviser of the Lord Mayor; Mr. Daniel Whittle Harvey, the commissioner, and Mr. Hodgson, the superintendent of the City police, were also present. Mr. James Lewis appeared on behalf of Benjamin Cole, the officer supposed to be the person who com mitted the violence. The LORD Mecroa said—l have specially appointed to-day to investigate this case. A memorial was for warded to the Secretary of State complaining of the conduct of some person connected with the City police, and that memorial was forwarded to me. Sub• eequently an application was made to the coroner to furnish the depositions that were taken by him with reference to the loss of life of some poor man in Stine- lane. I have read the depositions, and certainly I feel it my duty to make a rigid inquiry into all the circumstances connected with this case, because since I have had the honour of a seat here I have always felt it my duty that the poor should be protected as well as the rich. lam ready to hear the evidence of the witnesses who were examined at the coroner's inquest, and to ascertain, if possible, who the real delinquent, or who the offending party, if any, is. The deceased may have met with his death by violence, or it may have been by accident, but still I consider this a case demanding the most rigid and searching inquiry, not only as regards the death of the individual, but as regards the police themselves; because I think that their character is wrapped up in the performance of their duty feithfully, properly, and with attention to the wants of the people. .Ihope when the evidence has been give-n that we may arrive at a proper and just conclusion. If it should turn out in the result that there has been any violence or any improper conduct on the part of any of the police, I beg to state most distinctly and unreser vedly that they are bound by and subject to the laws the same as every other person in the king dom, and that they will not be screened by any supposed authority that they possess. The verdict which the jury have given will render this a most difficult matter for me to deal with, unless I have some person here who is suspected of being the delin quent. If any person is placed before me it will be my duty to hear the evidence in support of the charge, but, at the same time, I am prepared to listen to any evidence that may be adduced for the purpose of proving that he is not the guilty party. If there are any persons not now present whose evidence may be considered essential to the ends of justice, I shall be glad to facilitate their coming forward by directing their expenses to be paid. I have received two letters from a Mr. Clancy, but of course, as a magistrate in the administration of justice, I cannot attend to such communications. As Mr. Clancy appears to be a complaining parry, or a friend of the deceased's relative*, if he is in court I shall be glad to hear any statement that he may thick fit to make. Mr. Clancy then came forward, and, after thanking the Lord Mayor for instituting the present proceed ings, said he had reason to beli e ve th a t, i n conseq ue n ce of the very distressed condition of some of the persons who could give evidence, the case could not be brought forward in the way that it was desirable it should be. l'he LORD MAYOR—I will take care there shall be Flo obstruction to obtaining justice. If you show me that you cannot procure justice on accountof poverty, I will take care that that shall not be a bar. Mr. Clancy said he had reason to believe that the officer who struck the deceased was named Cole. Mr. Lewis—Cole is here. I appear for him. All the witnesses who were examined before the coroner have been summoned here to-day, with the exception of one of the surgeons. Cole then stood forward, and the examination of the witnesses, which was of a very contradictory chit r..cter, was proceeded with. The purport of it was, that he was seen following the deceased into the pas sage of his house, and inflicting blows on him with his truncheon. We think it right, in justice to the indi vidual who stood in the place ted to defendants, and woo was not charged by an) body, to withhoid the evidence until the next examination, the solicitor for Cole stating that he should have a good many wit ue•ses to call who would contradict the evidence as it at present stood in every particular. The LORD MAYOR—I have now to ask Mr. Pearson what course he advises. The City Solicitor—lf the responsibility of con ducting this inquiry is to rest upon me, lam quire reedy to carry it through. Thu important question, as it appeared to me, will be whether this person met with his death from violence ; and supposing it should appear from the evidence of the surgeon, Mr. Top- ping, who saw him iminediarely after his death, and woo himself conducted the post mortem examination, that he died from that cause, I shall have respectfully to press upon your Lordship the propriety of sending this question to u jury. This is a most unusual proceeding. It is not for me to press upon your Luraship that there is evidence at the pre sent moment before you to justify the belief that this person died from violence, but the absence of a most material and important witness induces me to ask your Lordship to adjourn this case until a day when that witness can be brought from Bath, and then we shall know whether in his judgment, from the evidence presented by the body of this unfortunate deceased imuiedi itely after his death, and afterwards upon the post mortem examination, there is ground for believing that tie met with his death from violence. If so, then I shall propose that the inquiry should be continued before your Lordship. I certainly am not prepared, in the present stage of the business, to ad vise your Lordehiptodeal with the question before you. Mr. Lewis said he had not he slightest objection to an adjournment, as the person who was present to meet the charge was only anxious for a thorough investigation. The City Solicitor—l wish your Lordship to understand that this person is not accused by me in any way whatever. lum only here to direct a course of examination. The verdict of the jury is against some person unknown. I have not pointed to this individual ; and I hope that the press will feel it right, in justice to this individual, not to publish any proceedings that have taken place here, which have been wholly ex parte, until the whole subject can be discussed. The LORD MAYOR said he did not wish the press to be fettered, as he had every reliance upon their judgment. Mr. Hodgson, the superintendent of police, then undertook that Cule should be forthcoming at the next examination. THE CO UN T 1 LIVERPOOL, AUG. 16.--P 8. d . 8. dl tY MARKETS.

Stourhridge market on Friday there was a very beast:, dull trade in wheat, blip rs n lug unwilling to give last week's prices, awl holders not b- ing wt ling- to r üb mit to a reduction. Barley was Inure inquired for, and good mil!ing qualities mainratned last week's rates. No alteration in other kinds of grain. „.. At Stratford-on-Avon ou Ft:day the fi rs t s ., mp i es of new wheat were exhibited.

Bes; white wheat (last year's crop) must be coot, d at 153 6!, and red 14 s 6d per bag, but sales wire effected at 15s and 14s resiorctively. Badey moved off slowly at 253 to 271 per qtorter. Nothing (lone in oats. Old beans realii d 12s* to 12s 6d per bag• The market at Wolverhampton was but thinly at; tended, and the fineness of the weather had the effect Of depressing the market. Farmers brought wheat 1 0 market in moderate supplies, and millers putchas6d but sparingly at a reduction of is 6cl to 2s per quarter 0 11 las: week's rates. English white wheat 16s and red 15 3 per 621 b. Foreign a slow sale at Is per quarter decline.
