CAUTION TO LONDON AND COUNTRY NEWS AGENTS. (From the Morning Herald.) Having received numerous complaints of the conduct of certain News Agents both in London and in the Country, in supplying at times only the Supplement of the Morning Herald, and at other times the Morning Herald itself without either of the Supplements, we have thought it right to lay a Case before the Solicitor-General and Mr. Peacock, for their opinion, whether the Agents, both in London and in the Country, are not liable to a penalty of 201. for each cony of the Supplement sold, without at the same time delivering a copy of the Paper itself; and we now publish, as a caution to Agents, the Opinion of these eminent counsel : CASE. The Morning Herald having lately found it necessary tc print one or more Supplements, some of the London News Agents have, in the course of their business, and for theh own convenience, supplied Country News Agents with the Supplements, sending them down in a parcel by Railway, so as to ensure a speedy delivery; and they send the News paper itself through the Post-office subsequently—the de livery through the Post-office being later than that by the Railway. The tountry Agent purchases the Newspaper of the Lon don Agent at the wholesale or business price, and sells to his customers (or in other words publishes) the Newspaper in the country town at the retail price. Your Opinion is requested upon the following points :- Ist. Is, or is not, the London News Agent liable to a penalty of 20/. under the Act of Parliament relating to newspapers, 6th and 7th Wm. 4, cap. 76, sec. 5? 2d. Is, or is not, the Country Agent equally liable to the same penalties under the same clause, for every Supplement which he may sell, deliver out, or publish, without at the same time delivering the Newspaper? OPINION. Ist. We are of opinion that the London News Agent is liable to a PENALTY OF TWENTY POUNDS for send ing any Supplement to a Newspaper to the Country News Agent without sending the Newspaper with it. 2d. And that the Country Agent is also liable to a PENALTY OF TWENTY POUNDS for every Supple ment which he may sell or deliver, and without at the same time delivering out the Newspaper to which the Supple ment belongs. FITZROY KELLY. Temple, Oct. 18, 1845. B. PEACOCK. FOREIGN MAILS. POST-OFFIOE NOTICE.—On Tuesday the following notice relative to the days of departure of the next foreign mails was posted at the chief office, St. Martin's-le-Grand : _ " The next mails for the Mediterranean, Egypt, Ceylon, India, and China, via Marseilles, will be dispatched thence on the evening of the 24th inst. Friday. " The West Indies—The Clyde will sail f rom S ou th amp t on " with the mails of the evening of the 2d o f N ovem b er f or the— British and foreign colonies in the West I n di es , exce pt Ber — muds; and mails will also be dispatched the same evening (the 2d of November) for Mexico, Honduras, Havannah, New Granada, Venezuela, and Madeira.

SIR,—An Old Subscriber would be much obliged by an swers in your next paper to the following questions Case—A.B. has been allotted shares and signed the deed of a railway company (whose Act is not obtained), which scrip he has sold. Query No. I—lf the Company do not obtain their Act, and the expenses exceed the deposits, who are liable for the further amount incurred—the directors and allottees, or the directors only ?—[The allottees, as by signing the contract they undertake to pay all further calls. ] Query No 2—lf the Act be obtained, are the Company bound to register the holder of the scrip as proprietor, whether a man of straw or not ?—[ No ; they may, if they like, fall back on the original allottee.] Query No. 3--If the scrip holder be registered does the further liability of A.B. absolutely cease, or does it only cease until the registered holder has gone through the Ga zette ?—[The liability ceases when the scrip holder is registered.] Query No. 4—lf there be several further transfers and regis trations of change of holders, and the then holder be put through the Gazette, can the Company hold A.B. the ori ginal allottee liable? Or, must they not first put through the Gazette the previously registered holders, in the order in which they have been registered ?—[A.B. is the only party liable until the Act is obtained.] At Greenwich Police-court on Tuesday, Richard Folly, aged 15 years, apprentice to Mr. Landels, of Bride court, Fleet-street, was brought up for final examination at this office. It will be recollected that the prisoner was charged some days ago with forging two cheques in the name of Mayor and Wallace upon Messrs. Barclay and Co., the bankers, of Lombard-street. The case was clearly proved against the prisoner, who was fully committed for trial. A letter from the prisoner to his brother-in-law, written while he was in Maidstone gaol, which was intercepted by the governor, fully admitted his guilt, and exonerated his fellow apprentice from any participation in it. RAILWAY EXCITEMENT.—Two persons, in the dress of officers of the buildings about the Stock Exchange, applied to the Lord Mayor at the Mansion-house for information as to the manner in which they should proceed to clear away the enormous crowds of jobbers and stags, who thronged the interior of the Auction Mart. It was, they said, quite use less in any of the servants of the concern to address them. They only gave the names of their attorneys, or treated the requests to leave the place with contempt. The Lord Mayor said that he could not interfere, as the persons spoken of did not commit obstructions iu the streets or thoroughfares. The officers departed evidently disappointed. RIOT AT CHARLTON FAlR.—About nine o'clock on Tuesday night the visitors to Charlton fair were much annoyed and alarmed by the appearance of nearly two hundred of the cadets, attired in various disguises, some armed with cudgels, who com menced attacking several persons indiscriminately. They were partially resisted by a body of ropemakers and some few others, who were, however, speedily put to flight, many of them taking shelter In the Crown and Anchor booth, into which the cadets at. tempted to force an entrance, but being foiled in this, they delibe. rately smashed the whole of the exterior illuminated devices. A body of the police endeavoured to arrest their riotous and destruc tive progress, but without effect, and they further proceeded to damage and destroy several gingerbread and other stalls. A party of the artillery were sent for, which the rioters having ascertained, contrived very prudently to make their retreat before the military had arrived. About five years since a similar disturbance took place, from which period, it is understood, the cadets, until this occasion, have not been allowed to visit the above ancient suburban fair. THE LONG VACATION.—The long vacation, in legal phraseology, " will cease and determine" on Thursday next, ;he 24th inst. Since the 10th of August there has been a legal cessation, except in some trifling matters, in law proceedings. Term begins on Monday week, as the 2d of November, the ap. pointed day, falls this year on a Sunday. A VETERAN.—A Spanish journal notices the existence of a veteran of the army of Spain, who was born in 1731, and consequently is now 114 years of age. He remained in the army till he was promoted to the rank of , sergeant, and afterwards received his discharge. In 1815, when 84 years old, he married a young woman of 21, by whom he has one child, aged 21. He is said to be still so strong and active that no one would think him to be more than 70. His only infirmity is total deafness. ACCIDENT TO CAPTAIN POORE.—We regret to state that a severe accident befel Captain Poore, of the 16th Hus sars, yesterday afternoon. While riding on the Loose-road, the gallant captain's horse stumbled, fell, and rolling over him, caused a severe injury on the head, and a fracture of the leg in two places. The unfortunate gentleman was immediately carried to his resi deuce, and was placed under the care of Dr. Gordon.--Maidstonf Journal. NOVEL FRAUD—We wish to caution the public against a parcel of fellows, the number of whom is unknown, who have for some time been going about the country carrying on their deceptive practices with, in many instances, a considerable amount of success. The mode in which this novel and impudent system of fraud is managed is the following :—One or more of these rascals manage by some means to make themselves ac quainted with the fact of parties having friends or relations /icing abroad in distant climes, and in some instances even obtain pos. session of the actual whereabouts of the parties abroad, their names, and even the town or place wherein they dwell. This is no sooner accomplished, and which in some instances must be a very difficult task, than one of them repairs to the party here, mostly a person in humble, if not straightened, cir cumstances, to whom a present of any kind in the shape of edibles or otherwise is of much importance, and states that a parcel has artived by a ship from their relatives, men tioning fully the names, residence, Etc., of them, In order better to deceive the person, and for the time disarm suspicion, and that it is lying in the baggage warehouse of either of the docks In Lon don, waiting the pal meat of the proper duties due thereon, and the dock charges, freightage, and other expenses, at the same time proffering his servicos to pay the whole and possess the party of it, if, as may be expected, a certain sum of money be advanced to reimburse him for tne outlay which he will thereby Incur. This being generally proffered in the seeming kindliest manner, the fraud succeeds in many cases, and the party of course finds to his or her cost that he or she has been duped, and that no such package, so directed, is in existence. An instance of this was discovered a few days since at one of the great outports, where a party receiving such a piece of infornsa tian did not fortunately accede to the money portion of the bargain, but made his application to the proper authorities, and the collector of the revenue, wisely suspectihg the fraud, advised the party to wait until a communication could be made to the department at which the party said the package was deposited, when of course it was found that no such package existed, and the attempted fraud on the individual made at once evident. The practice of these fellows is to state that they receive their informa tion from the mate of the vessel, mentioning a fictitious name both respecting the man and ship. It is firmly to be hoped that, after this caution, the fellows will have no further opportunity afforded them of pursuing their vile practices, which have for their object the plunder of those who are ill able to spare it, and the excitement of feelings of a private and family nature, which are raised in the most cruel and heartless manner only to be deceived and dis appointed. MORE HARDSHIP.—An Act was passed during last session of Parliament, allowing parties who bad formerly com pounded upon their as eased taxes to renew their contracts, and authorising parties who have not hitherto compounded to do so before the sth of next April. This Act will impose much in. creased trouble on surveyors, clerks . to commissioners, and asses sors; but not a syllable is there in the Act granting any one of those officers a single farthing for their increased trouble. Is this the way, Sir Robert, that you expect officials to perform their duties cheerfully ? What would you say to be thus served P This is a " second edition" of the inadequate allowance wider the In. come-tax Act. THE POTATO CROP IN HANOVER.—The potato disease has not, as far as is at present known, done much injury In this country, perhaps owing to the sandy nature of the soil ; the export, however, is forbidden to those provinces bordering on Hol land where the damage done is very great. EXPORT OF POTATOES.—Considerable bustle pre vailed at Dundee harbour last week In shipping potatoes for the Continent. Various vessels were loading with this staple produce, and it is probable that several more will be put in requisition for the same traffic.— Cakdonian Mercury. FATAL OCCURRENCE.—NEGLECT OF A ROAD CoNTRACToN.—On Tuesday afternoon, an inquest was held before Mr. St. Clair Bedford, Coroner for Westminster, at the George, Wardour-street, Soho, on the body of Mr. Alfred Richard Harrison, aged 30, silversmith and jeweller, of Pickett- street, Strand, whose death occurred under the following melancholy circumstances. George Hill, tailor, No. 9, Donne-terrace, Hackney, stated that about ten o'clock on the night of Saturday. the 4th instant, he was walking along Portland-place, Clapton, when, hearing a shout from behind, he looked back, and saw a gentleman (who proved to be the deceased) on horseback coming along, and the rider at that tune seemed to be righting himself in his saddle. Presently the gentleman passed him, and had only proceeded a few yards before his horse stumbled over some dirt in the road, and he was thrown head foremost to the ground. Witness, on the accident occurring, went up to the deceased, and asked him if he was hurt, but receiving no answer, he raised an alarm, and assistance arriving, deceased, who was found to be insensible, was carried to Mr. Hovell's. surgeon (in the neighbourhood), and from thence home to his friends in Wardour-street. By the Coroner: The road had been taken up to repair the sewers, and the mound of dirt over which deceased's horse fell was between three and four yards from the pathway, and about eighteen inches in height. There was no light to warn any person of danger, but on the other side of the heap of dirt there would have been plenty of room to have passed.

"In a season of great danger and trial, under much ob loquy and manifold provocations, we have deter mined to appeal to you. "We ask you to hear us calmly, and to give to our case your earnest and practical consideration, not led away by ' , ague prejudices and hasty judgments. " There are some who use towards us the language of con empt and insult, and others who exhibit to our cause only tpatliy or impatience ; and there are too many who are pro essors of Protestantism, but who object but feebly even to he religious tenets of the Church of Rome. "We address not such arthese--we expect no sympathy from them ; but we appeal to those millions of our fellow countrymen who are still willing to maintain their protest against Rome, and to uphold the religion of the Reformation. " We feel that our cause is good, and that we can prove it to be so; that our principles are true, and our conclusions sound ; and, further, that the means w e d es i re t o adopt f or the defnce of our cause are not only necessary and effectual, but righteous, legal, and constitutional. " But to our success and safety it is essential that the good will and cordial aid of British Protestants should be engaged in our behalf ; and that their sober and solemn attention should be given to the question of Irish Protestantism, and the peculiar position of the Irish Protestants. "It is our belief that the true principles of the reformed faith are nowhere more ardently loved, or more soundly maintained than in Ireland; and we mournfully believe and fear that our fall would be felt throughout Christendom as a blow to the cause of truth. ' "Do not look on our interests as remotely, but as very in timately connected with your own ; and when you read our address, cast off all such impressions as may have been made upon you by the levity, the unfairness, the bitterness, and the scorn which have hitherto been too often manifested towards this important question. " No proof is needed of the eager support that was given by Irish Protestants to the present Administration on their accession to power. There were, indeed, misgivings amongst some sagacious observers of events ; but the greater number buried the past in oblivion, and again trusted those who before had disappointed them. While there was then, as there is now, no disposition whatever on the part of the Protestants of Ireland to co-operate with the Government in a truly liberal and conciliatory course towards their Roman Catholic countrymen, and no desire to withhold from them the advantages of civil equality, it was hoped and believed that a Conservative Government would have endeavoured to remedy and reverse the ruinous policy of their predecessors, as regarded this part of the empire: that they would not have encouraged the advancement of the Church of Rome; but, guarding against its encroachments, that they would have befriended the Protestant cause, and zealously consulted its interests ; that, in questions relating to religion and education in Ireland, due regard would have been paid to the principles of Scriptural instruction, and to the claims of that reformed faith which is interwoven with the Constitution, re cognised by the laws, and is the corner-stone of the British monarchy. " Such were our expectations. We challenge the most moderate to point out in the policy of the present Administra tion any signs of affection to the Protestant cause, or any symptoms of resistance or discouragement to the march of th e Church of Rowe. " In the face of the remonstrances of more than a million of British Protestants, the Roman Catholic College of May nooth has been permanently endowed ; the conscientious ob jections of Protestants to the national system of education have been disregarded ; and a peremptory refusal has been given to the reasonable petition of a large body of the nobi lity, gentry, and clergy of Ireland fur aid to instruct the children of the Protestant poor in a manner conformable to their faith. " Whatever may be the judgment of the people of Great Britain as to the merits of the Irish scheme of national edu cation, differing so much from that of England, few of them will deny that the scruples of those who regard Scripture as an essential part of education ought to be provided for as carefully as the scruples of those who claim the authority to exclude it. " We are, therefore, compelled to the startling conclusion, by manifold proofs, that the policy of the Minister is to at tempt to govern Ireland by means of the Roman Catholic party, and to secure their influence and co-operation by con tinued concessions. _ " We cannot but apprehend, therefore, that heavier blows and greater discouragements are still in store for us,—that there may yet be a more direct violation of the Constitution, as, for instance, by the endowment of the clergy and Church of Rome--and that, from the policy of the Government, the maintenance of the Established Church in Ireland, although a fundamental article of the union, may be seriously en danred. "But there are other and obvious causes of deep anxiety to Irish Protestants; they find themselves encompassed by a wide-spread and fearful conspiracy, and our fair country has been made notorious amongst the nations of Europe as a land of blood and crime : the perpetrator of the foulest murder escapes into triumphant security, and the arm of the law is utterly powerless. " We will not dwell upon this fact; but we earnestly be seech you, in forming an estimate of the conduct and circum stances of Irish Protestant, to give full room and weight to this sad ar.d horrible ingredient. " To associate firmly and peacefully, in the earnest spirit of men who feel the importance of religious truth, and with the cordial loyalty which renders full obedience to the law, has been the thought, and is the wish, of the Protestants of Ireland ; let your judgment as to this desire be deliberate and impartial. " We have confidence in that veneration for constitutional liberty which makes an Englishman jealously watchful over the right of free expression of political opinions. We remind you that the very first indication of a wish to unite for an object we held to be legal, conservative, and religious, has been met by the Government with an act both arbitrary and harsh. In the late dismissal of magistrates all consideration of their object has been discarded, and a principle established, that to unite for a legal and Protestant purpose, and to unite for an object illegal and unconstitutional, shall incur an equal penalty, and must be treated alike. . _ . " HOW far is this principle to be pushed? Are we to un derstand that all Irish magistrates are prohibited from being connected with any association, or any movement of a poli tical nature ? " If so, any Government of the day may _convert the magis tracy into a body of political partisans. Would such a course be pursued or submitted to in England ? _ " We cannot believe that a cause so righteous as ours, and so momentous to the destinies of this great empire, can be wanting in support from the people of Great Britain. How ever this may be, we despair not ; the truth of God, which we desire to uphold, teaches us not to fear, for there is no re straint with Him—' to save by many or by few' " To our Protestant brethren in Ireland we would now address a few words :—Undoubted loyalty has ever distin guished you as a faithful Protestant people. We trust you would not stoop from your high position to seek aid from any source which the spirit of the laws and Constitution forbids or condemns. We need not urge you, we hope, against weakening your union by administering oaths, or using secret signs, a system which modern sedition has promoted, and the law has denounced. " The friends of that faith which you profess intently and anxiously observe, whilst your enemies as keenly watch your every movement, one act of disobedience to the laws by the humblest individual amongst you reacts upon the character of the Irish Protestant, and gives occasson to the enemy to malign our glorious cause. It is ours and yours ; our interests are vitally identified with yours, and ene member cannot suffer without an influence upori the rest. conscious of the severe trials which many of you suffer—the state of insecurity and restlessness which the evil policy of man has generated by the discouragement of tl-e encouragemen t' that your principles can of the bold and the good bad: a n E d e calmloyal, never perish. " You can wield lawful weapons with all the co n fid e n ce o f a a n n d d u t n h i t e e j, confien men who know their cause isrighteous. The great consti tutional arena is the House of Commons ; and therefore every energy should be exerted to secure, to the utmost, a faithful representation of your principles in Parliament. If the registries are neglected, your political influence is para lysed; if perseveringly attended to, some, perhaps much, benefit mays arise. We therefore earnestly implore you not to be deceived, or persuaded to abandon the battle of the registry. Political privilege involves politi ca l respons ibili ty, and your neglect or apathy is triumph to the foe. You have, under every difficulty, the assurance that the darkest cloud with which human tyranny can overshadow you cannot obscure the bright bow of Christian hope, nor obstruct the voice which ever invites you to hear Him who is our peace. England cannot abandon you without sacrificing her Protestantism, and forsaking her God. " RODEN, Chairman."

HUDSON.—The public dinner in honour of Mr. Hudson's return for Sunderland was to take place on Tuesday, in the Polytechnic Hall of the Athenaeum, in that town. Preparations on an extensive scale had been made for some days previously, and it is said that not less than 4001. has been expended itl fitting up and ornamenting the building. The room, which is thg largest in the borough, will not accommodate the number who have applied for tickets, although the price is one guinea each. The tickets were sold on Monday, at a premium of 1/., and as high as 1/. 10s. Mr. J. J. Wright, Mr. Hudson's most in fluential supporter at the election, is to preside, and Mr. R. Sporr, his seconder at the nomination, is to take the vice • chair. Among the speakers will be Lord Seaham, Mr. M. Bell, M.-P., Sir. John Lowther, M.P., Mr. llodgson Hinde, M.P., the Rev. Dr. Townsend, canon of Durham, and several local gentlemen, whose names are as yet unknown to fame. The list of toasts includes the healths of the Duke of Wel lington, Sir Robert Peel, and her Majesty's Ministers, Mr. Hinde, and the Conservatives of Newcastle; Mr. Bell, and the Conservatives of Northumberland, with others of a like description. The ball is to take place on the following even. big, at which the Marchioness of Londonderry is expected to be present. Mr. Hudson and her Ladyship will probably lead off the ball. A sumptuous supper will be served at twelve o'clock. The Hon. Member is a give. of Mr. C. Bramwell, of Hendon House. THE LATE FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP.—A committee in behalf of Bendigo has been formed to raise a subscription to defend the action now pending between Caunt mid the stakeholder. THE LATE ACCIDENT IN THE ROYAL ARSENAL The Board of Ordnance have ordered that the son of the late Michael Purcell, who lost his life by the late explosion in the Royal Laboratory department of the Royal Arsenal, shall be entered as a boy in the storekeeper's department, at a salary of six shillings a week. The Board, however, do not re quire that he shall attend work until he is fourteen years of age. He is now only ten years of age, and is at present under the care of Mr. P. Fogarty, landlord of the Duchess of Wellington, Green's-end, by whom lie will be placed in the Roman Catholic school, at Somers Town. No communica tion has been yet received from the Lords of the Treasury relative to the allowance to the widows and families of the other unforttmate men, so that the paragraph which appeared in some of the morning papers, a few days since, is altogether false. Mr. D. C. Movlan, recently elected Judgre Assessor for Westminster, under the Small Debts Act, has been confirmed n the appointment by the Secretary of State for the Home Depart. went. SIR WILLIAM MOLESWORTIL—A paragraph has appeared in some of the papers, stating that the Hon. Member for Southwark was seriously indisposed. On inquiry in Lowneles square, Pimlico, it was stated that Sir William had been for a short time slightly indisposed, but was so far recovered that he was ex. pected in town from his seat, Pencarrow, Cornwall, in the course Olt few days. IRELAND. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. DUBLIN, Ocr. 20.—The weekly meeting of the Association held to-day was very much crowded. Mr. O'Connell entered the hall at one o'clock, and was received with the warmest demonstrations of applause. Joseph Henry• Dunne, Esq., was called to the chair. p orp or th mna, The SECRETARY read the minutes of the last day' s pro ceedings, after which he proceeded to read the following let ters Oct. 14, 1845. from Lords Clanricarde and y " Sir,—l have had the honour to receive your letters, and the volume of essays, upon the question of a Repeal of the Union to which it referred, and I have to express my thanks to the Repeal Association for their kindness in presenting me with this book, which appears to contain much useful and interesting information.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient, humble servant, .6 T. M. Ray, Esq." " CLANRICARDE." " Castle Howard, Oct. 16, 1845. " Sir,—l beg to return you my best thanks for the hand some copy of the Repeal Prize Essays, which you have so obligingly forwarded to me on the part of the Loyal National Repeal Association of Ireland.—" I have the honour to be, Sir, your very humble servant, " T. M. Ray, Esq." " MORPETIL" Mr. O'CoNNELL said that out of respect to the noblemen whose letters had been just read, he would move that tdey be inserted on the minutes. The motion was carried unanimously. Mr. O'CoNNELL read a letter from the Very Rev. Dean Burke. He had great pleasure in moving that this letter be inserted on the minutes. The sentiments of the Very Rev. Dean Burke were likely to be re-echoed by the youth of Tipperary, and he (Mr. O'Connell) did not fancy that a single one of them would resort to those colleges if they were constructed, and it was quite clear that they would not be constructed, unless, indeed, they were forced on by some of the venerated Catholic prelacy of Ireland. It would be a fearful thing in Ireland if the people were told that when nineteen of their prelates had declared that a certain public measure was dangerous to faith and morals, that any one prelate should call on the people to disregard their advice and to listen to him alone. He trusted that such an unhappy day was not in store for Ireland, and that all the Catholic prelates having declared unanimously against the Colleges Bill, and nineteen of them having reiterated their disappro bation of that measure, the people of Ireland would not be called upon to disregard their guides, and the advice of a majority of the Catholic prelates on a subject of so important a nature connected with the interests of their religion (Cheers.) The motion was seconded and passed unanimously. Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice that, on the next day of meeting, he would bring before the notice of the Association the subject of the Infidel Colleges Bill—in the absence of the question of " mixed education," upon which there was some difference of opinion—in order to obtain an expression of the opinion of the Association with respect to it. Mr. O'CONNELL brought before the attention of the Association the differences at present existing amongst the Repealers of the towns of Limerick, Loughrea Sligo, and Waterford. It was deplorable, in his opinion, to think that domestic division, to which was to be attributed the manifold evils of the country, was again springing up. Let the people recollect that it was by union they compelled the Ministry, which declared that " Concession to Ireland had reach its limits," to withdraw that declaration, and to announce that they were prepared to concede anything short of the repeal of the union. It was his intention to proceed to Waterford, for the purpose of adjusting, if pos sible, the differences existing in that city; and he trusted that, with the assistanct of the Right Rev. Dr. Torau, Sir Benjamin Wall, and other influential persons, to be able to effect this desirable object. Whilst in Waterford he would not accept of any public compliment, but would confine him self solely to the object of his mission—the endeavour to bring about a reconciliation among the Repeaters of that city Mr. O'Connell expressed his astonishment that the Government had made Lord Rosse a visitor of Maynooth, and alluded to the opinions which that nobleman expressed with respect to the moral and religious character of the Irish people, at a meeting of magistrates on the occasion of the murder of the late Lord Norbury. Oo that occasion several Catholic clergymen attempt, d to address the meeting, but were instantly stopped by Lord Ross, who said that no per•• son except a magistrate should be allowed to address the meeting. That of course shut the mouth of the Catholic clergymen, and Lord Ross made a speech declaring that the Irish people were worse than the Turks and the Arabs, and that the Catholic clergy were culpable for many oft he crimes which were committed by their flocks.—(Hear.) And yet that was the man who was made a visitor of the Catholic College of Maynooth. If Lord Ross really believed what he asserted about the Catholic priesthood, why did he consent to become visitor to a college where such men as the priest hood of Ireland were educated ?—(Hear, hear.) But he knew, at the time he made those assertions, that he was uttering a base falsehood and calumny against the people of Ireland and their revered clergy. He would not dilate, further on that subject. but would merely move the insertion on the minutes of the passages he had read from Lord Ross's speech, for the purposes of reference, if necessary. The motion was carried. Mr. O'CoxxELL observed that a Committee of the Fine Arts had been appointed to inquire what statues it would be proper to have placed in the new Houses of Parliament. They had recommended that one should be erected to Ste phen Langton, the Catholic Primate of England, who said mass for the assembled Barons on the morning of the day they compelled King John to sign Magna Charta ; but they refused one to the Archbishop of Dublin, because his see was not in England.—(Laughter.) They also refused one to Thomas a Beckett, the man who protected the liberties of England from the tyranny of King Henry 11., and at Whose shrine one hundred thousand Englishmen assembled in homage, because they regarded him as the protector of their liberties. But this Committee of the Fine Arts had re solved on giving a statue to Cromwell and General Monk. Why, they might as well erect a statue to Judas as General Monk. Indeed, they only wanted a third to make the trio complete—they should have added the devil, and then the group would be perfect by the presence of their master.—(Laughter.) He (Mr. O'Connell) considered that they might have spared Ireland the insult of erecting a sta tue to such a man as Cromwell, and yet the Morning Chro nicle, the organ of the Whigs, had been the chief instigator of that statue to Cromwell. If they were to have a statue to Cromwell at the other side of the water, they would have representations of his deeds on this. They would have paint ings representing his deeds of blood at Drogheda, Wexford, and other places. He had been accused by the vile portion of the London press with fabricating these enormities, but he would prove to them from undoubted authorities that what he asserted was true. The Hon. Gentleman then read ex tracts from Carte Lingard, and the Parliamentary Register, dated October, 1649, which stated that public thanks had been returned to the Protector for his services in Ireland. It would be a subject for consideration whether these pictures, when painted, should not be exhibited somewhere in the neighbourhood of Westminster. And if the plan were ap proved of, he would undertake to procure a prominent place for their-exhibition. Mr. O'CONNELL again addressed the meeting, and said, that as he had so often addressed them upon matters of de tail, he would confine himself on the present occasion to two or three topics. The first of these was the feeling of exultation which he felt at the three magnificent repeal de monstrations at which he had lately been present. The first of these demonstrations took place in Kerry, and he could confidently assert that 15,000 persons attended that meeting to record their unalterable attachment to the cause of re peal, and to express their intention never to desist in their exertions until their country was once more a nation.— (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Hitherto the county of Kerry had been rather backward in advocating repeal, and it was not much to be wondered at, when it was considered that the proprietors of the land in that county were for the most part opposed to repeal ; but the late demonstration in Kerry afforded ample proof that the spirit of nationality ex isted as strongly in that county as in other parts of Ire land.—(Cheers.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then alluded to the monster meetings which were held in Castle bar and Sligo, and expressed himself delighted with the spirit which was displayed at them He then proceeded to say that he considered it advisable that no more monster meetings should be held until after the next session of Parlia meet, but that the att' ntion and the energies of the people should be directed to the registries, and also to the prepara tion of petitions for repeal to be laid before the British Par liament. The registries were peculiarly important at the present period, and the return of sixty or seventy repeal Members to Parliament would be most important in facili tating the achievement of repeal. No statesman could resist the demands of sixty or seventy Members of Parliament, backed by the entire Irish nation, and the declaration of the late Earl Spencer, that if the entire Irish people demanded repeal it must be granted to them, went far to corroborate his (Mr. O'Connell's) assertion. The Hon. and Learned Gen tleman, after some further observations, in the course of which he inculcated peace, perseverance, and an abstinence from secret societies on the part of the people, sat down amidst loud cheers. Mr. O'CONNELL announced the repeal rent for the week to be 3771. ss. 2d., and a vote of thanks having been passed to the Chairman, the meeting separated. [JALIFAX AND HULL DIRECT RAILWAY, AND HULL, GOOLE, GRIMBSBY, AND YORK, AND NORTH MIDLAND GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY, The Provisional Committee of this line of railway held their first general meeting at the Normanton Hotel, near Wakefield, on Monday; a large number of gentlemen at tended. NORTON, Esq., presided, and in a speech of considerable length and ability explained the objects the company had in view, which were to furnish Halifax and the densely popu laded and improving manufacturing towns and villages in its neighbourhood, with a direct and convenient outlet towards York, Selby, Hull, Goole, Grimsby, and the east, and in conjunction with the West Riding Junction, the Liverpool and Leeds and other projected railways, to form the most direct communication, as well between the great ports of Liverpool and Hull as between the great manufacturing districts of the west and the agricultural districts of the east. The reports of the surveyors employed on the line having been received, the meeting unanimously determined that application should be made to Parliament in the ensuing session; the various speakers expressing their conviction that the project would not onlyibe favourably received by the noble and other lauded proprietors through whose land the proposed line would pass, but also by the public generally, and that it would eventually receive the sanction of Par liament. The executive committee and other officers having been appointed, and a vote of thanks passed to the chairman, the meeting separated. SHIPWRECK OF THE MARY FROM SYDNEY..•••••• LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.-By the arrival here to-day of the Bucephalus, Captain Small, from Boml , ay, we learn the total loss of the above vessel, and seventeen of her unfortunate passengers, women and children. The Mary left Sydney, New South Wales, on the 19th May, and all went on well until the 24th., when the vessel, about midnight, struck on a reef in Bass's Straits, and immediately went to pieces; the passengers and crew, with the above exceptions, saving themselves with much difficulty, and ultimately reached Flirider's Island in safety, whence they were conveyed to Launceston, New South Wales. Capt. Collins, a passenger, has written a long narrative to one of the Sydney papers, in which he deprecates in strong terms the unseaworthy state of the vessel, as it appears she began to leak shortly after leaving Sydney; he alsa says, that from the striking of the ship to her parting arid going down, only seven minutes elapsed. We subjoin a list of passengers saved and lost : Saved : Captain Collins, 13th Light Dragoons ; Mrs. Collins, Miss Elizabeth Collins ' Miss Emma Collins, Miss Strathallen Collins, S ara h Sarson, Mrs. Newby, Mr. Reeves, Mrs. Reeves, Mrs. Stanhury, Mrs. Evans, Mr. Ilefferman, Mrs. Hefferman, Stephen Dwyer, Mr. Thomas Newman, Mr. James Abbott, M:. J. Jones, Mr. Joseph Wilkinson, Mr. Heather, Master Arthur Heather, 11lichael Nicholson, George Hempson, Pa trick Gardiner, and all the crew. Lost : Mrs. Heather, and two children, Mrs. Grey, Mrs. Turnbull, two daughters of Captaiii Collins, three daughters of Captain Newby, Sarah Fowkes, and six children of Mrs. Evans. The Bucephalus received her report from the Indian, bound from Launceston to London, which vessel she spoke on the 6th instant, in lat. 37 N. BISHOP OF.

Only a moderate supply of English Wheat has reached us since Monday; hence the show of samples here to-day was rather limited. The finest qualities of both red and •svhite commanded a Beady sale, at full rates of currency. In other kinds comparatively little business was transacted. Free foreign Wheat was in fair request, and previous quotations were well supported. For corn, under lock, there was more inquiry, and prices bad an upward tendency. The sales for all kinds ofßarley were tirm,but we can notice no alteration in value Superfine Malt moved off steadily ; other kinds slowly, at late rates.

PORTSMOUTH, Oct. 21.—This being the 40th anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar, the Victory, 104, Captain G. Mou bray, was dressed in wreaths to commemorate the event. Gar lands capped the jack staff, main, fore, and mizen trucks, and the ensign staff, the " main brace" was " spliced," and mirth and jollity prevailed on board. Captain Moubray was at the battle of Trafalgar senior lieutenant of the Polyphemus, and gave a dinner to a select party of officers on board the Victory, some of whom had shared with him the honoars of that ever-memorable day. The memory of the departed hero was drunk in silence. The officers' wives and relatives were invited, and a ball ter minated the festivities of the day. The St. Vincent, 120, Captain Rowley, late flag-ship of the experimental squadron, returned to Spithead this morn ing, where she brought up and saluted the flag of the Com mander-in-Chief. The St. Vincent's term of commission having nearly expired, she will be paid off and re-commis sioned by Captain Sir Richard Grant, Flag-Captain to Sir Charles Ogle. It is expected, however, that ultimately one of the new 120 gun ships at this port will carry the chief flag, and the St. Vincent take the place of the Victory as ordinary guardship. Her performances in the late trial sailings have caused considerable surprise, as upon the cruise last year with the Caledonia, Queen, and Albion, she did wonders in beating, by " long chalks," her competitors, and that under circumstances of every disadvantage, and most particularly that drawback to every ship's speed, a very foul bottom. How it is she has behaved so differently in the late trials is therefore perplexing, as she underwent an entire refit below and aloft. The Vanguard, 80, Captain Willes, has completed the re pair of defects, and is re-trimming in the basin. It is ex pected she will not leave this port before Friday. The President, 50, Captain Stanley, flag of Rear-Admiral Dacres, appointed to succeed Rear-Admiral the Hon. J. Percy in the command-in-chief on the Cape station, begins to look very handsome. She is painted, and will bend sails in afew days. The Trafalgar, 120, Captain Martin, arrived this morning soon after the St. Vincent. She proceeds to the Nore as flag ship of Vice-Admiral Sir E. D. King, Commander-in-Chief. The Kingfisher, 12, Commander Brown, is nearly ready for sea. She will bend sails in a day or two, and drop out to Spithead, whence she proceeds to the coast of Africa. The Hecate steam-sloop, Commander West, was spoken with 15th August, on the Line, cruising in long. 10 W. The Nautilus, 10, Lieutenant-Commander 3/Donnell, is or dered to be docked, to repair some damages to her rudder, &c. PLYMOUTH, Ocr. 20.—Her Majesty's steamer Rattler ar rived here during the night from Portsmouth. Yesterday Rear• Admiral Sir S. Pym, G.C.8., struck his flag (red at the mizen) as Admiral of the Fleet, on board her Majesty's ship St. Vincent, 120, Captain R. F. Ro w l e y. This morning Admiral Sir John West hoisted his flag (blue at the main) as Port. Admiral, on board her Majesty's ship Queen, 110, Captain Sir Baldwin Walker. At nine in the forenoon the red flag, for unloading gunpowder, was hoisted on board the 4ame ship. At ten o'clo,.k her ill , jesty's ship St. Vincent got under weigh in the Sound, and with three topsails and foresail sailed through the Eastern Channel outside. She hove to at the back of the breakwater, where she was signalled by her Majesty's ship TrefAgar, 120, Captain Martin. At twelve, with a fresh northwester, she bore away for the eastward. At two o'clock the Trafalgar weighed anchor, and also sailed to the eastward ; her destination is supposed to be Portsmouth. The two-deckers, Canopus, 84, Captain Moresby, C. 8., Albion, 92, Captain N. Lockyer, Rodney, 92, Captain Col lier, and Superb, 80, Captain Corry, will shortly go to sPa for a six weeks' cruise, and will most likely visit the Me diterranean. Captain Moresby, of the Canopus, is appointed Commodore. TIDAL HARimUit Co NIMMISSION. LANCASTER. The first place vi.iited in England was Lancaster, at which town Mr. Godson M.P., and Captain Washington, R.N., two of the Commissioners, sat on Monday last. The meeting was held in the Borough Court, and was very numerously attended by the inhabitants. The examinations continued from 10 o'clock in the morn ing until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The inquiry embraced two objects: first, the improvement of the port; and se condly, the beet mode of expending the 10,0001. paid by the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway Company for leave from the Admiralty to place the piers of their bridge near the town in the bed of the river. Mr. Walker, Secretary to the Quay Commissioners, who are the conservators of the river; Mr. John Brockbank, a shipowner • Mr. E. Dawson, a land proprietor; Dr. Jame s Johnson; dr. Richard Gerrard, a pilot; and Mr. Alexander Kennedy, master of the steam-vessel trading between Liver pool and Lancaster, were examined on the first point. We have not room for the details. It may be suffi cient to state, that it transpired that the conservators are 17, and have but one person amongst them who ever sailed a vessel"; that they never attempted to improve the navigation of the river except by having a survey made by Mr. Stevenson, whose highest estimate was 15,0001., and lowest 7,000/., upon which they never acted ; that they receive about 1,200/. a year„ but are of course in debt, which has been reduced to 4,000/. ; that the river Lune might be improved, as Mr. Stevenson had recommended, so as to make it two feet deeper all the way from the sea to the quay below the railway bridge ; that the freshes in the river are very great, but that they are impeded by weirs, &c. ; that several lights and many buoys are wanted ; and that a dredging-machine is absolutely neces s ary. O n the second point there was a great diversity of opinion, Mr. T. Higgin insisting that the 10,0001. should be laid out in dredging the river ; Mr. E. Sharpe, in impounding the river, so as to make a basin in it for the ships, to be brought from the pro jected dock at Poulton by a ship canal, to lie in. Several pro jects were also brought to the notice of the Commissioners :-1. Adock at Poulton, in Morecombe Bay, with a ship canal of three miles to Lancaster quays. 2. A dock at Thorn Bush, at the entrance of the Lune, with a railway to the Lancaster. and Preston Railway. 3. A railway from Fleetwood to Lan caster. 4. A railway from Yorkshire, called the North- Western Railway. i. A railway from Newcastle to Lan caster ; and 6, the York and Lan cas t er R a il way . I t seems that the railway speculators, having monopolised the carry ing trade on land, are determined now to seize upon the ports, and destroy the coasting trade. Irrespective of all rail way speculations, we think that the Lords of the Admiralty are likely to expend the 10,000/. in buying a dredging ma chine, and employing it according to Mr. Stevenson's plan. and in placing lights, beacons, and buoys in the Grange Channel of Morecombe Bay and in the parts adjacent, and after that is done, it is to be hoped that the conservators of the river will keep the river in that improved state. FLEETWOOD. The two Commissioners visited this port, which is a sub port under Preston, on the 14th of October, and examined Mr. S. liurridge, the receiver of the dues ; Mr. Head, the ha.ffionr-master ; Mr. S. P. Bidder, the resident engineer ; Mr. Robert Gerrard, a pilot •, Mr. A. M'Neiledge, the master of a steam-vessel trading between Belfast and Fleetwood ; and Nlr. Kemp, the secretary to the Company. It appeared that the port is under the management of the Preston and Fleetwood Railway Company; that a dividend is now paid out of the combined profits of the railway and the port; that the river Wyre is constantly dredged, and that there will be ten feet of water from the lighthouse to the wharf; that the Wyre lighthouse, built on Mitchell's screw piles, is not only of the greatest benefit to this port s but to Lancaster and to all mariners passing along the coast.; that the wharfs are very commodious, having thirteen cranes upon them; and that a dock is about to be built. It seems that this port cannot be made fit at all times for the entrance of sailing vessels, the channel being only 200 feet wide at ordinary low spring tides, but there are two steam tugs kept to assist them. There were complaints of the Wakey light, which takes more time (five minutes in the revolution) than any other light in the kingdom; also that another beacon and some more buoys are wanted. The dues paid are remarkably low, and there is no difference in the dues levied on foreign and home vessels. A vessel can be brought into the Wyre one hour and a half sooner than into the Lune. There are several projects for railways. One from Fleet wood to Lancaster, and another from Knot-end to Clithero.., with a direct line to Leeds. On the whole, this new port gives great promise of being a very excellent steam-vessel harbour. THE LATE SHIPWRECKS AT WICK.—The Britisi Fishery Society have incurred penalties to the amount of 7004, bynot having a life-boat at Wick, as required by Act of Parlia. ment.

HAMBURGIS, Ocr. 16.—The much. talked-of address of the magistrates of Berlin to the King of Prussia, on the state of religion, and his Majesty's answer, are BOW published by the King's permission; they fill seven columns of eur papers. His Majesty, in some points of his answer, expresses extreme dissatisfaction with some passages in the address, which he says have grieved and offended him. At the beginning of his answer he says that as he had given the magistrates sufficient time to reflect in on what they ought to do, he hoped they would change their views, and become sensible that it was a strange idea to read in his presence, and face to face, a long theological lecture. FRIBOURG, Ocr. 12.—The Gazette of the Upper Rhine says, in a letter from Trybourg—" The authorities of this district have given orders and directed the gendarmes to arrest the Reformer Ronge if he should come into that district, and deliver him up to justice. CHRISTIANA, Ocr. 6.—According to a general view of the public expenditure for the three years from Ist July, 1845, to Ist July, 1848, the amount is 2,634,495 d o ll ars . The receipts are estimated at the same sum. The Stoithing has voted for the completion of the royal palace at Christiana the sum of 308,000 dollars, and for furnishing it 90,000 dollars. The household and the appanages of the King are set down in the budget at 90,000 species dollars; the army at 754,000 species dollars, and the navy at 316,000 species dollars ; the pnblic debt at 190,000 species dollars. In the estimate of the reve nues the Customs were set down at 1,900,000 species dollars. MUNSTER, Ocr. 6.—On the evening betbre yesterday we received the unexpected news of the death of Baron Joseph von Droste Vischering, Lieutenant Field Marshal in the Aus trian service.

The line will commence at the important borough of Bridgnorth, proceeding along the valley of the Severn, through the Coalport China Works, to the mineral district of Madeley, and from thence proceed in a straight line to the agricultural town of Shiffnal, and there form a junction with the Liverpool and London Direct Rail way. The lime, it is said, will pass through no ornamental property, and being within twenty miles in length, is likely to experience to difficulty in getting through Parliament. The consent of the landowners along the course of the line has been obtained, and no engineering difficulties present themselves. The capital required for this important little pro ject is only 300,0001., divided into 15,000 shares of 201. each ; deposit 2/. 2s. per share. The board of management is small compared with the legion of names attached to many of the recently projected railway schemes, but, which is of more im portance, is select, being composed chiefly of those gentlemen who, when the line is finished, will become some of its great supporters. The Committee include ten leading ironmasters of Westbromwich, Bilston, Dudley, Salop, &e. PRICE or GoLn.—The premium on gold at Paris is 11 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 44 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 57k, it follows that gold is 0.53 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advice; from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 4.30 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10-id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 8, it follows that gold is 0.23 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. THE NEW PIER AT BLACKFRIARS-BRIDGE.—This pier, which has been for a considerable time in progress, was opened to the public on Tuesday. It is a most commodious and substantial structure, being 140 feet in length, with a dumb lighter placed in a right angle to the river of 130 feet. They have both been so constructed as not in the slightest degree to interfere with the navigation or current of the river. Two waiting• rooms have also been built, which, with the pier itself. will be lighted with gas. Six persons have been appointed to attend the pier, who were on Monday sworn in at Guildhall as constables, to act in that capacity if deemed necessary, and be entirely under the control of the City autho rities.
