IREL AND. DUBLIN, N o v. 9.—The weekly meeting of the Repeal As sociatien he d to-day at the Concil'ation Hall, was very well attended. Mr. O'Connell, accompanied by William Smith O'Brien and Captain Roderick, entered the Hall, and was re ceived with loud cheers. On the motion of the Hon. and Learned Member for Ccrk .county, WILLIAM O'DONNELL, Esq., of Cottage, Carrick•on-Suir, was called to the Chair. He briefly thanked the meeting for the honour conferred onithim, in calling him to preside at that most, respectable meeting. He hoped that he should perform its duties to their most perfect satisfaction. - MI. RAY read the minutes of proceedings at the last meeting. Mr. O'CONNELL handed in several sums of money, and announced his intention of visiting Waterford in the course of the ensuing fortnight, for the purpose of endeavouring to heal the existing differences between the Repealers of .that district. He then acknowledged the receipt of 1/. Os. Bd. from Drury-lane Ward, per Mr. Thomas H. O'Connell, R.W., Ste. &c., who acquainted them that in former days it was the custom with Irishmen in London to meet on Sunday and Monday nights, in low public-houses, at what were called smoking clubs, every man bring as many acquaintances as he cod, each man paying pence to be spent in the hOuse, but now this state of things was quite changed. They wet this time in public-houses, twenty meetings at one and the same taut, though they had no count or squire to preeide. Those public-house meetings had as presidents sometimes a lady and Sometimes a lord, to whom there was paid as much respect as if the lord of the manor sat as chairman. Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN addressed the meeting at great length. He alluded in terms of deep despondency to the decline of the potato Crop, but congratulated the meeting on the spirit alre.sly eyinced throughout the country to refuse charity from England, and called upon them as they valued their national. character to meet the present crisis with energyand resolution. Having reviewed the recent suggestions to save the potatoes, he could not conceal from himself that the awful calamity was impending, and that nothing but the merciful intervention of Providence could protect them from the most disastrous consequences resulting from the failure of the po tato crop. He did. not 'allude to this topic with a view to •. encourage Jhe sentiment of despair ; on the contrary, he called on thf:lrish nation, upon that occasion, to show them selves worthy of the high character they were seeking to attain amongst the nations of the earth. He called on them to exhibit a manliness of determination, such as the exigence of the case required; and he congratulated them that the universal sentiment hitherto exhibited upon that subject had been, that they would accept of no English charity. The resources of that country were still abundantly adequate to maintain their population, and until those resources should have been. utterly exhausted, he hoped there would be no man in Ireland who would degrade himself to ask the aid of a subscription from England. Already they had been given to understand by the English press, that in the event of their accepting any relief, however trifling, from England, they would regard them as ungrateful, if they did not abandon the efforts they were making to achieve the legislative inde pendence of their country.—(Hear.) Let them be prepared to meet whatever difficulties--whatever calamities might arise, in the spirit of men contending for freedom, and relying on Providence and on themselves. That Association had been censured for not having taken an earlier part with refer ence to the present calamity, but he did not think such censures justifiable. For his part, he did not hesitate to say that he felt there would be much danger in their point ing out anything which might have a tendency to mislead, and that was the reason why he, for one, did forbear to give any expression of opinion os the subject, until they should have made up t heir minds on what was the best course to be pursued. He had himself suggested the propriety of offering a prize for the best suggestion, having in view the . irevention of the extension of the potato disease; but he was afraid that such suggestion would hardly prove effica cious at that moment. It would, however, be the duty of the Committee to watch over that subject with the most intense anxiety,' and to adopt from week to week, and from day to day, whatever course appeared most con ducive to the interests of the country, and he felt cer tain that the Committee would not shrink from the task they had so long performed of being the friends and advo cates of the Irlakpeople.—(Cheers.) He liad himself arrived at the conclu that remedies were almost useless, and that they should trust in Providence for averting the consequences of the calamity. It was on the present occa sion that they felt the absolute necessity for a domestic Le gislature. Such a Legislature would call into action the combined wisdom of the nation, for the purpose of miti - • gating the evils with which they were threatened. What was the conduct of the Government ? A deputation, headed by the chief magistrate, of the leading noblemen and gen tlemen of the county, waited upon the Lord-Lieutenant at his country abode, for the purpose of impressing on hi s Excellency the immediate necessity that existed for taking immediate measures to arrest the famine to which they were exposed. How was that deputation received? It was • received with contumely and contempt, It was supposed that Parliament would have been called together, and that some means might be devised whereby thepeople would be enabled to procure food—that they would promote the extension of public works, and that they would facilitate private enterprise. But expectation had been disappointed. Had the suggestions laid before the House of Commons during the last session, with reference to the relatiolis between landlord and tenant, been adopted, an ample , opportunity for the employment of labour could now be exercise(' in (training and other im proventeuts, He (Mr. O'Brien) was a representative of the Irish ps,ple, and his voice ought to bo as powerful in that hall as in the House of Commons; and' he would assert that the Government would coin:hit a sin against God, and a crime against man, unles s they called Parliament together before Christmas, to rake the state of the country into crA l, 4sration.—(Clieers.) The Hon. Gentleman then pro . c c:ted at covsi , :erable loigth to advert to the foreign 'aous of En , ;.antl, and commented upon the many dangers thrastened her from without, and urged the absolute zi.,ce,sity.bf conciliating Ireland as the only means of escap ing the lierile which env - ironed her.

That if it can be saved, it wiil prow aboodant flir every usual purpose. 3. That a great part of it, if not the whole, may be saved by judicious ma nagement. 4.

If either we or our residers had time or inclination to amuse ourselves with a critical examination of their labours, scientific or literary, • 'we might have a rich fund of entertainment for a winter's etening,-. Such grammar and logic as pervades the following :passage - form the staple of those reports, and exhibit prima facie evidence of the fitness of the inditer to become a public • instructor; "We have ascertained (says the report) that autumn Planting has already been practised throughout Fingal, for the earir supply of the Dublin market, and that althourh the practice has been nearly discontinued, that has not hap ?sued fjr any reason that affects the preseut question. either de we learn that the early period at which the leaves tippear above the ground in spring is attended with any greater risk than what attends precarious crops like the potato in any season." Autumn planting we find has been already practised throughout Fingal ; and we commend it as a useful and pre cautionary practice; but before the sentence concludes, oar hopes are dashed with the information, that the practice has been re ray discontinued, for no reason that affects the pre fent qtrestiont that is to say, it has without rhyme or reason been discontinued as soon as it began. But this is obviously not tb reportet'smeaning, and if in the first clause we would read Minerly instead of already, we should come to something more like sense than as it stands at present, 1401', as that Anse. is...

The Galway Mercurystates that surveyors are just now busily employed on the intended site of the col lege, which. will occupy about eight acres. BELFAST.—It was stated confidently in town yesterday, and we have reason to believe the rumour may be found to be correct, that the Rev. Dr. Henry, of Armagh, has been appointed by Government Principal of the Ulster College, to be estaclished at Belfast. The matter, however, is, as yet mere rumour, and as such only we give it.

By an arrival from New York on Monday,.we have the following in tev,sting particulars relative to the development of the iron trade there " The production of iron in Pennsylvania in 1844, was about 200,000 tons, and it is estimated that this year it will amount to about 350,000 to 400,000 tons. It is also esti mated, from good data that the total production of iron in the United States this year will not fall short. of 700,000 tons, and that the consumption will amount to about 800,000 tons, leaving a deficiency, to be supplied by importation, of about 100,000 tons. We annex a table exhibiting the quantity and value of iron and steel of all kinds imported into the United States for the last sixteen years. "AGGREGATE QUANTITY AND 'VALUE OF IRON AND STEEL I It:' , Tr.TED INTO THE: UNITED STATES. Years. Tons. Value.

" This table shows that, notwithstanding the immense in crease in the consumption of iron in this country, there has not been any very great increase in the importation, and that the supplies from our own manufactories have nearly kept pace with the increased demand for consumption. " The most extensive iron works in this country are those of the Mount Savage Company of Maryland. Its present capital is 1,500,000 dollars, with power to increase it to 500,000,000 dollars. Its stock is owned principally in Europe. These are the only works in the United States where railroad iron is manufactured to any extent, and it is calculated that 20,000 tons can be made in a year. Some of the eastern railroads now building are supplied with rails by this com pany. The mines of the Mount Savage Company, and, in fact, all the iron mines of Maryland, are situated in the Cum berland coal region, which, for the manufacture of iron, is said to be superior to any other. "The iron manufacturers of Great Britain already feel alarmed at the rapid increase in this business in this country." —New York Paper.

REFUSAL TO BURY A CIIILD.—A painful scene occurred on Monday last, at the Church of s_,t. Saviour's, Norwich. The body of a child, belonging to Mr. North, one of the night watch, was brought up for interment, but the Rev. Mr. Beckwith, officiating for the incumbent, refused to perform the ceremony, in consequence of the child not hav ing been fully baptised. After the mourners bad been de tained in the church about two hours; Mr. King, the clerk, prevailed on another clergyman to bury itwv-Cheimford Chronicle. On Tuesday forenoon Samuel Brunt, of Clarendon-street, Ilulme, aged nineteen, employed at the brewery of Mr. Joseph Bleackley, Downing-street, Ardwick, as assistant brewer, was .engaged in cleaning out a porter vat, which had undergone the process of sweetening, when he lost his life under the following circumstances :—About a fort night before, five barrels of bottoms and nine of boiling water had been put into the vat for this purpose, - and about half of it was drawn off by Thomas Dunbabin, cooper, on Tuesday morning. The deceased then went down the ladder into the inside of the vat, taking with him a besom to stir up the remaining water and dregs, so that the whole might run off together; he had not descended far before he fell to the bottom of the vat. Assistance was procured, and in about 20 minutes he was got out, by means of a hook at tached to a rope; one of the men attempted to go inside, but was obliged to return by reason of the foul air. Two surgeons attended, but animation could not be restored. An inquest was held on Wednesday, before Mr. Chapman, when it was stated by Dunbabin that the vat, which held 150 bar rels, had been emptied and properly cleaned with hot water about two months before. There was a small square door at the top, which stood open. Four barrels of hot salt and water were then put in, and closed up; this remained in a week; it was then let off, and a man went down and swept out the vat. The bottoms and hot water were then put in as before stated; the vat was then closed and kept so until Tuesday morning, except when it was opened to put in some additional water. Witness had been in that brewery thiry- nine years, and they had always adopted this method of purifying the vat, except that they never used salt and water before; but he did not think anything noxious had arisen from that, as one of the men had gone down and cleaned out the vat when the salt and water was drawn off. Ile never knew.such an occurrence before. On • half-a-dozen similar occasions he had gone into vats, but had never met with any danger. The deceased had been six months in the brewery; he had never ben in a vat on a similar occasion before. The liquor was only about four inches deep in the vat when he began to stir it, the noxious' vapour or gas which arose had everpowered him. The vat was 11 or 12 feet in diameter. Witness did not consider. there was any risk. The vat had been used as a porter vat 30 years; it had stood empty about five years; but it had been taken down and repaired, and was fitted again last., spring; but the liquor having a tack, they had tried to purify it as stated. They did not use candles when there was a sufficient light from a window, as in this case. Wit-, ness has gone Into a vat without danger, in wine cases, whore a lighted candle was extinguished by the foul air., jury, in agreeing to a verdict of "Accidentally suffo cated," recommended that in future the trap-doors of the' vats should be left open two or three days before any one went in.—llliznchester Times.

The case of the young woman, Harriet Monckton, who was poisoned by prussic acid two years back at Bromley, and the subsequent extracrdinary conduct of the Coroner with reference to the transaction, continue to create a great deal of interest in the neighbourhood, and some circum stances have recently transpired which render it very de sirable that the matter should be brought to some termina tion, and that the guilty party—for that the deceased met her death by foul play there seems to be no doubt enter tained either by the jury or the medical men who were exa mined—should be discovered, or that those against whom suspicions have been entertained should be exonerated from all share in the foul transaction. As so long a period has elapsed since the commencement of the inquiry, it may be not amiss to state briefly under what circumstances the de ceased was discovered, and the facts upon which the above opinion is founded. It appeared that Harriet Monckton, who is described as being a fine, handsome young woman, was the daughter of poor parents residing in the neighbour hood of Bromley, but they had contrived to give her a rather better education than ordinary, and she had obtained a situation as a teacher at a school in London, which, shortly before the period at which she came by her un timely end, she had given up, and was about to take an other of a similar character at Arundel, in Sussex, but before proceeding to her new situation, she came to Bromley to pass a few days with her mother. On the Monday when she was last seen alive she left home apparently in good health and spirits, saying that she should return shortly, and was never more seen alive. Search was made for her that evening and all the next day, but without avail, until the evening of Tuesday, when it was suggested by one of the party who was in search of the deceased, that they should examine a closet, situated at the rear of a Dissenting chapel in Widmore-lane, Bromley, and, upon going there, the deceased was found dead upon the floor of the closet, in a sitting position, and from the perfectly placid and composed appearance of her features, it was at first supposed that she had died a natural death, particularly as there was no trace of any deadly instrument or ingredient visi ble by which the death could have been occasioned. The Coroner for:this division of Kent held his inquest in due course, and, at the suggestion of the jury, - a post mortem examination of the deceased was made by Mr. Kott, a surgeon, residing at Bromley, and another medical gentleman. It was then dis covered, beyond the possibility of a doubt, that the deceased had come by her death by means of prussic acid, a quantity being found in her stomach sufficient, in the opinion of the medical gentlemen, to have killed a dozen people. It also appeared that the unfortunate girl was very:far advanced in the family way, and a nearly full-grown child had shared the fate of its unhappy mother. Upon the re-assembling of the jury these additional facts were given:in evidence, and very strong testimony was adduced to show that it was almost impossible that the deceased could have destroyed herself. In the first place, it appeared by the medical testimony that the effects of the poison must have been to destroy life al most immediately, so that she must have taken it in the place where the deceased was found, but no phial or cup was discovered that could have contained the poison, either there or anywhere near the place. In the next place, if the de ceased had herself taken the poison, she would no doubt have fallen immediately to the ground, and her dress would, in all probability, have been in confusion; but, on the contrary, as above stated, she was found in an easy sitting position, her clothes apparently smoothed down, with her left hand rest ing easily upon her thigh, and with a white handkerchief under it. The impression produced by the evidence upon the jury, and upon almost all who heard it, was, that the the poison had not been taken by the deceased in the closet, but that it had been administered to her elsewhere, and after she was dead that she had been carried and placed in die position in which she was found. Some adjournments were made by the Coroner's jury, but although upon each occasion nothing transpired in any way to alter their opinion that the deceased met her death by foul play, no direct evidence was adduced tending to fix the guilt upon any individual; and since the last adjournment, which is now upwards of eighteen months ago, the Coroner has declined to call the jury to gether, although repeated applications have been made to him to do so. The jury was originally composed of fifteen individuals, but of this number one is dead, another has gone abroad, and a third has left this part of the country, still, however, leaving twelve, a number that would be competent to come to a decision upon the subject. A short time back these twelve gentlemen sent a communication to the Coroner requesting to know when he intended to call them together, and they received a reply, stating that he should do so very shortly ; but since then nothing more has been heard upon the subject. The jury, however, feel so strongly the neces sity for public inquiry into this mysterious affair, that it is understood to be their intention to apply to the Secretary of State upon the subject. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday a young man, named William Ogiers, was brought before the Lord Mayor upon a charge of robbery. James Bowie, a waterman, who resides at Gravesend, stated that on Monday morning, about ten o'clock, he arrived at Billingsgate in the hatch-boat named the Sir Edward Cod rington, with fresh herrings for sale. He was in partner ship with the owner of the boat in the sale of fish, and the prisoner was a cabin-boy belonging to the boat. About two o'clock on Monday the prisoner was missed from on board, and at three o'clock witness went down into the bed-cabin for the purpose of getting the sum of 19/. 45. 6d., which he bad placed under the head of the bed-cabin. Upon going to the spot where he had deposited the cash he found that it had been stolen, together with two bags, a memorandum book, and some papers. Witness had seen the money safe at eleven or twelve o'clock, and did not leave the boat after that time until he missed the money, and no one had been in the cabin but the prisoner and himself. Between six and seven o'clock witness went with an officer, to whom he com plained of the robbery, to the City of London Theatre, where he found the prisoner, in the company of several girls of the town, amongst the audience. The prisoner was searched, and in his possession was found a bag, which the witness knew at once to be his, and which contained several sove reigns, no doubt his property. Upon being questioned, the prisoner said the bag contained no book, but it did hold a shilling. . John Bower (policeman 570) stated that he went to the City of London Theatre on the evening of the day of the robnery, suspecting that he should find the prisoner amongst the loose females, and he was not long there when he found that he was right in, his guess., The bag which was taken from the prisoner contained 10/. in gold, and there were thr e e sovereigns loose in the prisoner's pockets. The LORD MAYOR—DO you wish to say anything, pri soner? Prisoner—Why, I took the money, my Lord, from the place where it was put, and I went along with a lot of girls, but whether I spent the money amongst them or gave it to them, I don't know, I'm sure. Aa for the book that master talks of, that was in the big bag, and I tore it up.—The prisoner was committed for trial. Lewis Benjamin was charged with having picked the pocket of a gentleman of a handkerchief. Mr. W. H. Bailey, of No. 4, Shaftesbury-terrace, Pimlico, stated that on the afternoon of Monday, as he was passing along the north side of St. Paul's-churchyard, he suddenly felt his handkerchief removed from his coat 'pocket. Upon turning round he observed the prisoner wipe his face with the very handkerchief that had been removed from his pos session. Witness said to him, " What are you doing with my handkerchief?" to which he replied, " I didn't know it was yours."—(A laugh. ) Shelford (policeman No. 160) said that he apprehended the prisoner upon the charge of Mr. Bailey, and found two other handkerchiefs upon his person. The prisoner said that he had not committed any robbery. He had been in the habit of carrying three handkerchiefs for his personal convenience and accommodation, for he did not know how soon he might lose one or two in the streets of London.—(A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR said the prisoner should have an oppor tunity of making that defence before those who would be 'capable of appreciating it. • The prisoner—My Lord, I hope you will order the officer to give me up my own property. the two handkerchiefs he took from me are my own. _ _ _ The prisoner was committed for trial. John Robarts was committed for having picked the pocket of Mr. J. T. Hyne, Treasurer of the Surrey Theatre. The robbery was adroitly committed ,at ten o'clock on Monday morning, in Gresham-street. The witness suddenly missed his handkerchief, and upon turning round saw his handker chief in the front pocket of the prisoner's coat; when, the prisoner following him, he stooped and slipped out the hand kerchief, and dropped it in the street. His LORDSiTIP acknowledged, with thanks, the receipt of 5/. from Mr. W. West, through the hands of Messrs. Hoare, the bankers, for the poor-box, and expressed his sincere hope and belief that the contributions to the poor-box of the Mansion-house, to which there were so many melancholy claims, especially in the winter months, would be numerous. He apprehended that, everything considered, the approach ing winter would tell upon the sympathies of the friends of humanity with more force than was generally expected. He therefore thought that he could not commence the duties of the office of Chief Magistrate in a more proper manner than by calling upon those who were prosperous to remember the thousands who had to contend with poverty in its most frightful shapes. Two gentlemen who were present immediately contributed 'a sovereign each, but would not mention their names. GUILDHALL. James Freeman, a cab driver, was brought up on a warrant before ➢lr. Alderman Hooper, charged with misbehaviour, in refusing for half-an-hour to leave the passage of the house of Mr. Toplis, in New Bridge-street, in order to enforce pay ment of an excessive charge. Roe, the City officer, stated that the prisoner had treated two summonses with contempt before a warrant was issued. Miss Toplis deposed that on the 30th ult. she hired the cab in King William-street, Strand, to bring her to Bridge street, Blackfriars. She had three ladies with her. On set ting them down she gave defendant ls. 6d. He said that was not his fare. She immediately handed him her card, and said he might summon her for any other demand he might have. He walked into the passage, and said he must have 2s Bd., as extra passengers were carried ; but he afterwards reduced his claim to 2s. 4d. She refused to pay him any more, and he refused to leave the house. She called in the policeman, who declined interfering without instructions from his superior. She sent her servant to the station-house and a second policeman came, but he also declined interfering, 'except by expostulating with the defendant, which induced laim to leave. It was between eleven and twelve o'clock at night, and he kept possession of the passage for half-an-hour. Mr. Alderman HOOPER presumed there were none but women in the house at the time. ➢liss Toplis said it was so. Policeman John Eve, 325, was called to prove that the defendant demanded first 2s. Bd. and then 2s. 4d. SHOCKING DEATH. THE LUMBER TRADE, We are sorry to see the old objection to the " lumber trade': started in a late number of the Kingston Chronicle and Ga ieffe—viz., its demoralising tendency. If this objection were to be strictly acted upon we arc afraid it would be of extni- ; sive application. The Chronicle may recollect what is said by the highest authority of the danger of dealing in mer chandise. If the tendency to demoralisation is to prevent a trade from being followed, we apprehend that there might , be an interdict on many trades and professions, even ex tending to that of newspaper editor. The military and naval professions would not be free from danger. We con , ceive that every honest pursuit, not contrary to law, ought to stand on the same footing; perfect freedom for all to follow it, if they find their advantage in it. " But," says the Chronicle, "if the amount of capital employed in the lumbering business were directed to the improvement of the country, by creating new settlements and clearing land for agricultural purposes, the province would derive permanent advantages from itA outlay." The capitalist, we should, conceive, must likewise be allowed to study his advantage. In so doing he is the most likely to promote the advantage of the country. The Chronic* would, of course, pass over the immoral tendency of the employment of ' the ship— owners in providing vessels and seamen to convey the produce of agricultural settlements to the best market. He surely would nut think of the agricultural' settlements consuming all their surplus produce, or their capital being diverted to the payment, feeding, and clothing of non-agricultural labourers, who could furnish nothing so cheap as it might be furnished with the' money got for produce from the persons employed in, the lumbering or other trade business, and paid with the capital employed in trade. In truth , there can be no thriving agricultural settlements without large bodies of non-agricultural labourers, and it is best not to interfere' with their industry, nor to pronounce anathema against the capitalists who Fet them in motion, no matter what may be their honest pursuit. The people of Great Britain and Ire land want our lumber, and pay us well for it. If we can furnish them anything else that they want, and will ex change on equally fasrourable terms for what we want from them, there is nothing to prevent us from making the exchange;_ and we may trust to the clearsightedness of capitalists for directing the employment of their capital in a way to give the most profitable returns. In respect to morality, we must just take care of our own, and leave the morality of others to be looked after by themselves, and those whose particular charge it is ; recollecting that no lawful oc cupation or business is placed out of the pale of salvation, and' that it may happen that the "publican and sinner" may be more acceptable than they who speak disparagingly of him.' —Quebec Gazette. THE APPROACHING SPLENDID BALL AT GUILD HALL.—The Ward Schools of the City, which are acknow- - ledged by all who have visited them to be productive of a large amount of good, are to derive a benefit, from the vote of the Common Council, this year, by having the profits arising from a ball, at the Guildhall, devoted to their use. For the last few years, by the generous exertions of Lord Dudley Stuart, the Guildhall Ball, which has always taken place a few days after the 9th of November, has been the means of contributing to the support of the unfortunate Poles. It was the intention of his Lordship, some weeks ago, to renew his, application for the use of the Hall for the same charity, but the moment he heard that the Lord Mayor contemplated a vigorous effort in favour of the Ward Schools, he not only" dropped all thought of application, but warmly offered his as sistance in promoting the object of the friends of the 'Ward Schools. The Committee appointed to carry into effect the resolutions of the advocates of this great charity will meet immediately, and make the most magnificent arrangemehts; Her Majesty, Prince Albert, the Duke of Cambridge, and great numbers of the nobility, have most zealously patronised the entertainment, which will be conducted by Mr. Benedict: THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF CANADA —We regret to learn that the latest advices from Canada give a most un• favourable account of the state of Lord Metcalfes health: Indeed we have seen a private letter, from a gentleman whose official duties give Lim daily opportunities for obsbt - - vation, which represer t is the distinguished petsbn in ques tion as so worn doves by suffering aa to make it utterly im possible that ht l :.nan nature can much longer bear up, unless the cruel di,;:ease (cancer of the face) to which he has So long beer, a martyr should take a most unexpected change. Lord ivletcalfe bad, up to the last possible moment, per. , vexed in his personal attention to the duties of his important. office; but on the day on which the letter to which we have alluded was written, he was for the first time unable to bear the pain and fatigue of removal to the council-room, and the indispensable business was necessarily transacted in his ab-, sence.—Britannia. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—ANASPASIA IN THE TREAT rarer or CoNsuurrioN.—The Dispensary for the Treatment of Consumption, Asthma, and ether Affections of the Chest (by Arias pasia), is removed from 113, Strand, to 14, Leicester-place. Dr. Crown, physician to the Institution, has removed from 6, craven street, Strand, to 14, Leicester-place, Leicester-square. , Mr. Alderman Hoopin asked him why he allowed the de fendant to annoy the ladies by stopping in the passage?— The policeman said he was young in office and did not know how to act in such a case. The ALDERMAN said that he should not have hesitated, with the authority of the lady, to use force to put the de fendant out. After receiving the card he bad no pretext for stopping. The 'defendant said, that the pavement being up in Fleet street, he was obliged to make a circuit of three-quarters of a mile, and this entitled him to ls. 4d., and he claimed Is. for the extra passengers. Mr. Alderman HOOPER asked him if he objected to carry four without an extra fee when the ladies got in ?—The de fendant admitted that he did not. The ALDERMAN stated, that without objecting to carry four, he was not entitled to any extra fare. If he had ob . _ jected he would have lost the job, and some other driver would gladly have taken it. The defendant had demanded 4d. more than' his fare by his own showing, and he had be haved very ill in stopping in the passage and taking advan tage of the ladies being alone. Instead of imposing a fine on him, he should sentence him to a term of imprisonment, and he committed him to Bridewell for a fortnight. BOW-STREET. Joseph Cowers alias Taylor, described as barman of the Admiral Vernon public-house in Long-alley, was charged with being concet ned in an extensive robbery of boots and sillies, some months back, in Great Russell -street, Blooms bury. In April last a burglary Was Committed on the business premises of Mr. Tritcher, a boot and shoemaker in Great - Russell-street, from whose shop about 400 pairs were stolen, valued by him at 2001. No information of the offenders could be obtained, but about a fbrtnight ago a man named George Hill was taken into custody at Norwich on suspicion of receiving a portion of the stolen property. Hill at once stated of whom he had purchased the property, and the pro secutor was referred to the prisoner, who, on being taxed with the robbery, declared that he knew nothing of Hill, and had never seen him before. Hill stated the particu lars of the purchase, but, in the absence of some material witnesses, the prisoner was remanded for a week. Newman, cf the E division, stated that the prisoner was the landlord of the house at which he was taken, and which was of the worst description, there being at the time be tween 50 and 100 thieves in various parts of the building, engaged in rat-killing, dog-fighting, boxing, and other such pastimes. MAWLBOROUGH - STREET. Thomas Harrison, George Rayner, and Elizabeth _Rayner, were put to the bar charged with attempting to pick pockets. Charles Walter, baker, Hanway- street, said a lady came into his master's shop, about half an hour before, to purchase some muffins. The three prisoners also entered the shop, and while the lady was about replacing her purse in her pocket, the female prisoner, whose movements were directed and screened by her companions, made an attempt to possess herself of it. Witness's attention was first directed to the prisoners in consequence of seeing them attempt the pocket of the lady before she entered the shop to make her pur• chase. Sitness, on seeing this second attempt at robbery, immediately took measures to have them lodged in the cus tody of the police. To a question from the Magistrate witness said he had often 'seen the male and female prisoners Rayner in the street, and had more than once noticed that they attempted to pick pockets, but he was in :such a situation as not to be able readily to give an alarm or afford assistance. He almost al ways saw the Rayners about on the days when the Museum was open to the public. Thomas Harrison, in defence, said he was a stranger to his companions. He merely went into the muffin-shop to pur chase a couple of buns. Rayner said he went into the shop to give some refresh ment to his sister, when he was falsely charged with being a pickpocket. Mr. MALTBY remanded all the prisoners until Monday next. LAMBETH. Caroline Cummings, Mary Cummings, Anne Renchman, Alice Langley, and William Goff, were further examined before Mr. Norton, on a charge Of plundering Mr. Charles Shaw, a solicitor, residing at No. 11, Terrace, Walworth, of property, consisting of plate, jewellery, wearing apparel, &c., to the amount of over 600/. Mr. Parry, the barrister, attended with Mr. Shaw to pro secute, and Mr. Gaines and Mr. Pelham appeared on behalf of the prisoners. The evidence in the case was of so voluminous a nature that it occupied the chief clerk nearly five hours in reducing it to writing, and the case altogether presented the most wholesale system of plunder that perhaps was ever brought • • before the public, The thert facts of the case wet() these :—Some years ago the mother of the prisoners Caroline and Mary Cummingslost her husband, slid vrn left teith a large Enid lielpiesa family, and the circumsta nce becoming r. Shaw l the known to M Prosecutor; that gentleman hecaine the benefactor and almost the etitite Support of the family. When the prisoner Mary Cummings was #t a suitable age, she was taken into the bottle Of Mn Shad as a servant i but owing to seine miteMidiict was discharged at the end of tiVo years, She w as suceeaded by het si s te r Caroline; implicit etifidenee Was fepoodi And to whose family Mr, in whom the most Shaw continued his humane assistance. Her honesty I*.a4 not suspected until a few months ago; when Mrs. Shaw dis covered that a plate. elleSt had ben left in her care by Caroling adMitted having young lady named C a l cra ft, ( l u ting her alisenc6 Helena, had been einptied, Of its valuable co ntents;. and thq prigoner . has. Mrs. Shaw at the sa me ti me , unknown to her Milhaud , pliwileci it,. and imp lore d supplied a sum of 271. to redeem the property, which was plelged at the shop of M,r. Turner, Amenbroker, of Crown row) WillWohli=foad, and, replacirig it in the chest, locked and corded it. About the middle of the last Month the chest was again examined, and it was then found that it had been forced open, and its contents ode. The eiretunstanee was mentioned to Mr. Shaw, and that gentleman, on making an examination of his own plate-chest discovered it quite empty 1 and. with • the exception of .a few spoons and articles in daily use, every article of plate, a gold and a silver watch, rings, brooches, wearing apparel, and, in fact, a great quantity of property were gone. The missing property was 'traced to the shop of Mr. Turner, Shaw and carry away where- the principal part of it had been p awned by the priso ner Ma r y Cummings, an d this led to the apprehe ns i on o f her and her sister Ca roline. T he other prisoners Were a lso apprehended in conse q uence of an d Langley and Beacham their having b een seen frequently to call at the house of Mr. N' G. NOVEMBER 13, 1845. were sworn to as having pawned various articles of property belonging to Mr. Shaw. The property produced, and which had been pawlied at the shop of Mr. Turner, was Hentified by Mr. Shaw and Miss Calcraft. Some idea may be formed of the extent to which the wholesale system of plunder and pawning had been carried from the fact that from the 13th of April, 1844, to the 18th of October, 1845, no less a sum than 528/. had been obtained at the shop of Mr. Turner upon pledges above 10s., and nearly 50/. upon pledges varying from ss. to Ios. Mr. Turners's account of the transaction was, that when the prisoner Mary Cummings first came to Pledge a silver spoon she represented that the property be longed to her uncle, a Mr. Back, residing at No. 11, on the Terrace, Walworth-road (not one hundred yards off). They believed, they said, her representation, and though property of the most massive description, sometimes to the amount of 20/. a day, and upwards had been pledged, and the principal part of it bore initials, arms, and crests, none of which were suited to the name of "Back," they never took the slightest trouble to inquire who really resided at No. 11 on the Ter race, nor to find out who the real owner of the property was ; nor had they even put a single address to a single duplicate produced, though the latter omission renders Mr. Turner liable to enormous penalties. In the course of the proceedings Mr. Parry remarked, that from the representation of the prisoner Mary Cummings, when she first pledged the plate, that it belonged to her uncle, an impression had gone abroad that Mr. Shaw actually stood in that degree of relationship to her and her family. This he (Mr. Parry) begged most unequivocally to deny. Mr. Shaw was no relative whatever to the prisoners. He had become their kind benefactor in distress, and the return they had made was that which his Worship saw. The two Cummingses, and Langley, were fully committed for trial; and the others remanded to a future day. SOUTHWARK. -.- - - John Johnson, a well-dressed man, between 30 and 40 years of age, was brought up before Mr. Cottingham, charged with being concerned with others (not in custody) in stealing a cash-box containing sixty sovereigns and some important documents, the property of Mr. William Skelton, the landlord of the Fleece public-house, in George-street, Bermondsey. The complainant stated, that on the preceding day, about half-past three o'clock, a respectable-looking well-dressed man, accompanied by a woman, entered his house, and went into the parlour. They, however, had not been many minutes there when the man came out again, and addressing complain ant, who was serving at the bar at the time, said that he wanted to write a letter of importance, that the parlour had company in it, and he therefore requested that he and the lady might be permitted to occupy the bar-parlour for the purpose. Complainant, from the apparent respectability of the parties, at once acceded to the request, and the man and woman accordingly entered the room, drew their chairs to the table, and called for pen, ink, and paper. The writing material having been placed on the table, the landlord de sired his niece, a young girl of 14, to remain in the apart ment with them while he was engaged at the bar, and the man immediately commenced writing to the woman's dictation, and both appeared to be wholly absorbed in the business. Soon afterwards, however, the parlour bell rang ; and as the waiter was out the complainant's niece left the bar-parlour to attend to the bell, and during her absence, which was very short, both the man and woman went out of the house, the former going first and the latter immediately afterwards. The complainant, surprised at the circumstance of the strangers going away in such a hasty manner without saying a word, left the bar at which hg was serving, and rushing into the bar-parlour, immediately went to the table-drawer, where he kept his cash-box, and, to his utter dismay, found it was gone, with its contents, consisting of 60 0r62 sovereigns, his license, together with the magistrates's certificate, and other documents. Upon the discovery of the robbery he gave the alarm, but before he got to the street-door both the man and woman were out of sight. He added that two strange men were standing at the bar, and that the prisoner and another stranger were in the parlour, and that the mo ment they heard the alarm of the cashbox having been stolen, they all left the house. The prisoner, however, was followed, brought back, and given into custody. The land lord further said that he bad no doubt the whole of the parties mentioned were acting in collusion, and that they formed part of a gang of well-dressed thieves, who made a point of entering the houses of licensed victuallers, and rob bing them under circumstances similar to those in which his bar-parlour had been plundered of the cash-box containing the money and documents. In reply to Mr. COTTINOIIAM, the complainant said, the prisoner entered the . house soon after the man and woman above described had taken their seats in the bar-parlour, but he assumed to be a total stranger to either of them, and walked into the public room, and called for spirits and water and a cheroot. _ RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS, LIVERPOOL, Nov. 12.

Mr. Edward Neighbour was then examined, and he stated that he lived in Heath-street, Hampstead, and that on the preceding day he called to see the landlord of the Fleece, and had not been long in the parlour before the prisoner and an elderly well-dressed man entered within a few minutes of each other. They, however, did not recognise each other, and the elderly man had not been many moments in the room, when he commenced a conversation with witness on the subject of the probability of the opening of the ports for the admission of corn. While they were talking on the subject, the pri soner very rudely interrupted the conversation, and when witness expostulated with him for such behaviour, the elderly man said, " Don't take notice of the ill manners of a young fellow like him ; he is some young fellow with more money than brains, or he would not have intruded his conversation. particularly on a subject that he knows nothing about." During the disputation on the subject, the alarm given by the landlord that his cash-box was stolen was heard, and at the same moment the prisoner and the elderly man hastened out of the room, and without waiting to make any inquiry at the bar about the loss of the money, they both quitted the house, Witness, the moment he heard of the robbery, concluded that both the prisoner and the elderly man were the associates of the two persons who had been in the bar-parlour, and under that conviction he immediately pursued the prisoner, and stopped him at the top of the street. When he was brought back to the house the prisoner was questioned as to who and what he was, and his reply was, that he was in the navy, that he had just re ceived a sum of money at the Admiralty, and he expressed the strongest indignation that he should have been suspected of any concern with the robbery that had just been com mitted. He however hesitated to give his address, Saying that he lived at one of the squares at the west end of the town, and when requested to show his card he at length pro duced one with the name "J. Johnson, Bloomsbury-square," written upon it, and said that was where he lived. When the policeman made his appearance the prisoner tried to tear the card out of witness's hand, but he failed in the attempt; and as he gave such a very unsatisfactory account of himself, he was then banded over to the custody of the policeman. Mr. Cormattam said that robberies of a very serious de scription had taken place at different public-houses in the metropolis, and that they were generally committed in such a verydexterous manneras to leave no doubt that a regularly organised gang went about for that purpose ; that in the pre sent instance the complainant had been plundered to a very serious amount, and that although there was at present only suspicion against the accused, and as it was intended that a further inquiry should take place, he (the Magistrate), there fore, under the circumstances, thought it most advisable at the present stage of the examination that the prisoner should reserve what he had to say until then. He, however, would use his own discretion on that point. The prisoner said he had nothing to conceal; that he went into the Fleece, had a glass of ale and a cheroot in the par lour, and that while there he heard an alarm that the cash box was stolen, and he left tke room and went to the bar, and had a glass of ale while standing there, and afterwards left the house, when he was followed and so unceremoniously brought back and questioned as if he were the thief. He added that none of the people in the house were his acquain tances, and that he merely went in there as he might to any other public-house of a similar description. The complainant was recalled, and he stated that the pri soner had asserted a falsehood in saying that be had a glass of ale at the bar after the robbery, when, the fact waa, he left the house the moment the alarm of the cash-box being stolen was given. Mr. Corrneotraat naked the prisoner if his real address was Bloomsbury- square ; and, if It was, at what number did be live in that place? The prisoner seid, that at present he wished to decline answering the question, gad expressed a hope the Magistrate would accept of bail for his appearance. Mr. CorriNonA3t, however, refused to accept of sureties under the circumstancee, and remanded the prisoner to give an opportunity of some of his associates being taken into custody. It was stated the prisoner had been in custody before, and that he belonged to the swell mob. DIAMOND STEAM-PACKET COMPANY.—The annual meeting of the Proprietors in this Company was held on Monday, in the large room of the New Inn, Gravesend; Dr. Warren in the chair. It appeared that the receipts of the year amounted in round numbers to 27,0001., and the expenditure to 23,000/., leaving a balance of 4 ,00 0 /4 from out of which a dividend of 3 per cent. was declared. The Chair man stated that after a year of extraordinary competition and low fares, the Company was in a position much more favourable than it had, in the opening of the season, any hope of attaining. DISSOLUTION OP TUE SONS Or THE TIIAMES STEAM BOAT COMPANY.—Yesterday the annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Sons of the Thames Steam-boat Com pany took place at the Company's office, 12, Mafk.laile, Mr. Warren, having been called to the chair, read the report, from which it appeared that the Company's boats had con veyed 178,939 passengers, amounting to 6,401/, being a fall ing off of 9681. from the previous year. It then proceeded to state that they had paid 2,000/. for a new boiler; that a re cent accident had cost them 400/. ; that there was a bill to Messrs. Miller and Co. for 6221., which they could not meet ; their liabilities amounting in all to 6,0001. The report sug gested the selling of the boats, and winding up the affairs of the Company. The report having been received, Messrs. Angus and Wilson were appointed directors for the ensuing year. After a desultory conversation, it was ultimately pro posed by Mr. Hewer, and seconded by Mr. Manning, " That it is the opinion of this meeting, that the best means of extri cating the Company from its present pecuniary embarrass ment would be to sell the boats and dissolve the Cotnpany ; and that, consistent with the provisions of the deed of settle ment, a meeting be forthwith. called." The resolution was carried unanimously. _ _ FARINGDox.---RAILWAY MEETING.—A large meeting was held at the Crown Inn, on Tuesday, in pursuance of a notice that a deputation from the Committee of the Cheltenham, Oxford, and London Junction Railway Com pany, would attend to explain their intentions and the ob jects to be gained by such railway. Sir Robert Throgmorton took the Chair. The projected line, and its probable advan tages to the district, were explained by Mr; Westmacott, of London, after which the Rev. Mr. Evanson, of Inglesham, and Dr. Mantel! proposed and seconded a resolution expres sive of the opinion of the meeting in favour of the line, and Raymond Barker, Esq., of Fairford, and H. St. John Medley, Esq., proposed and seconded a resolution to petition Parlia ment on the subject, and a requisition to the county Members to support the same. P. Pusey, Esq, M.P., expressed his readiness and pleasure to de so; after which Mr. Barker offered to the meeting a resolution in favour of an extension line to Cirencester and. Stroud, which Mr. Smith, of South toss, having seconded, the meeting affirmed. — Wilts Inde pendent. A tont LOST RAPHAEL.—The Academie des Beaux Arts, at its last sitting, had an interesting piece of intelligence communicated to it by AI. R. Rochette, its per petual-secretary, and received by . him from M. Jesi, the cele brated engraver. It was that an immense fresco, by Raphael, itt admirable preservation, has been discovered at Florence, in the refectory of a convent, suppressed at the clo:e of the last century. This work, which represents the " Last Sup per," was generally attributed to Perrugino, but, on its being lately cleaned, Raphael's name was found on the rebe of one of the apostles, with the date of 1514, when the great painter was in the 21st year of his age. This is the period of his life of which Vasari and other writers on art seem to know least, and this discovery fills up the chasm which has hitherto been felt in Raphael's career.— Galignani. THE HERRING FlSHERY.—Providence is still blessing this part of the western coast with unexampled suc cess in the herring fishery. On Thursday night the largest take vet had wit: .t.de near Matto,' within mile of the harbour, an . ioy of the poor fishermen is ex treme. We know no-t if other portions of the coast have been equally favoured; but the finest field is open at present for the purchase of herrings in the market.—Galway Vin dicator. PROJECTED RAIL WAYS.
