FRANCE The funeral service for the anniversary of the death of Queen Hortense was celebrated at Rueil on Sa turday. The President of the Republic, attended by his aides-de-camp and orderly officers, arrived at eleven o'clock at Rueil. A battalion of the 37th re giment and the National Guard were under arms. The President was cordially received by the popula tion. After the religious ceremony the President proceeded to Chaton to review the National Guard, which he had been unable to do on his way to Cher bourg. He returned to the Elysee at an early hour.

Oar advices from Cassel are of the 2d inst. The members-of a permanent court-martial have been appointed. The Commander of the Civic Guard has been suspended by the order of General Haynau ' and a meeting of the o ffi cers of the Civic Guard was talked of. The Mayor of Cassel has addressed the following proclamation to the inhabitants of the capital : "Fellow Citizens,—You have already gone through severe trials, but still you have remained faithful to law and order. Your conduct has been understood and ad mired in Germany and beyond our frontiers. But other trials are in store for you. Whatever may happen, stand by the law. Citizens remain calm, quiet, and en during. Right is sure to triumph . " The Mayor of Cassel, HARTWIG." Letters from Frankfurt of the 3d instant, in the Deutsche Zeitung, state that the Austrian members of the Federal Commission have been withdrawn, and that the Ministerial Councillor Nell and Major Cwikoiski have been provisionally appointed to act with the Prussian Commissioners Lieutenant. General Peucker and President Botticher. It is stated that all the Austrian officials employed at the Federal Commission are about to be recalled. ITALY. We find the following resume of the facts relating to the condemnation of Archbishop FRABIZONI in the Paris Journal des Debate : " We have received by express an extraordinary sup plement of the Piedinontese Gazette of the 30th ult., which contains the sentence of the court and the requi sitory of the Advocate-General in the affair of the Arch bishop of Turin, This requisitory, which is of great length, enters info the fullest development of the ques tion, pending for several ages, relative to the rights of the temporal and of the spirtual power; it seeks to estab lish the line of demarcation between the Church and the State, it particularly points out the right of the laical tribunals to try the depositaries of religious authority for acts of abuse of power, and seeks to prove by reference to history and to the most accredited author!, that this right bus never ceased to be in vigour in Piedmont. The Govern ment, in the first place, reflected whether the Arch bishop Franzoni should be tried as any other citizen who disobeyed the law, or as an ecclesiastical dignitary abusing his powers. The proceeding by way of appeal was preferred, from the consideration that the actsim puted to M. Franzoni were not the offences of a citizen in the State, but those of a bishop in his diocese, ema nating from an abusive exercise of his religious power. The Advocate-General brings forward precedents, and quotes several cases, in which the Superior Courts of Justice Piedmont in the 17th and 18th centuries pro nounced sentence against the ecclesiastical authority, in virtue of a Pontificial Bull of Clement XL An ancient royal edict positively orders the law officers of the Crown to bring to justice abuses of ecclesiastical jurisdic tion, and• on all acts which might be an attack on the sovereign authority, and the laws of the State, or dis turb the public peace. The institution of the constitu tional regime could not but give fresh strength to liber ties and to rights in vigour under the absolute govern ment, and several cues are brought forward, in which, during the last two years, the Piedmontese Parliament, in accordance with the Government, has bad occasion to act in consequence of these principles. The acts of abuse which concern M. Franaoni are notorious. He opposed himself to the law in prohibiting the ecclesi astics to appear before the tribunals when summoned, as other citizens. His pastoral letter formally enjoins on them this disobedience, and he himself set an example of it when summoned before the magistrates on account of that circular. The abuse was also more crying and more scandalous in the affair of the Minister Santa Rosa, that worthy and pious man who with faith implored for the sacraments of the Church between the arms of his confessor from whom he had received abso lution. Certainly no motive could be found in a reli gious point of view to refuse the last consolations ; but the Archbishop, in refusing these rites, and even those of burial,. sought for a political scandale; he dared to impose as_a condition on the dying man a retractation of what he had done as Minister in one of the laws. It may be remembered that a commencement of sedition broke out at Turin against the Prelate, in consequence of the public indignation, and that the Government was compelled to have him immediately arrested in order to prevent great disturbance. The Archbishop showed himself unjust, tyrannical, and pitiless; the abuse of authority was flagrant, and it was for that flagrant act that he was arrested and transported to Fenestrella. M. Franaoni has for a long time shown himself opposed to the new institutions ; the longanimity of the civil power was not a ble to calm his ho s tility ; h e man if este d it on 5111 occas ions, either by violating the laws, or by oppos ing himself to measures of the Government, or in send ing pastoral lett e r s fall o f bi tter censures ' against the Government, or in expressi ng hi s contempt far , the ad monitions which the supreme court of jUstice more than once addressed to him. The two Acts, which form the special object of the recent proceedings, have tilled up the measure of the factious conduct of this Prelate, It was propoEya to him, for the sake of peace, to renounce his see, in giving him the hope of being recalled to the exercise of his duties in more quiet times, and when he should himself have become imbued with more moderate sentiments; but he refused all the compromises offered to him. Such is the summary of the facts and arguments brought forward by the Advocate-General." MEXICAN BONDHOLDERS. We have received the following memorandum from the Committee of Mexican Bondholders : " Committee of Mexican Bondholders, 61, Moorgate-street, Oct. 5. " The Trent has brought for the Mexican dividends 30,067 d9llars from Vera Cruz, and 5,000 dollars from Tampico. Messrs. Barron, Forbes, and Co., of Tepic, advise having received for the same object 6,525 dolls. 62 cents, which, with the 6,906 dolls. 18 cents adv Led by them by the last packet, will be shipped to:the Bank of England by the first British man of war touching at San Blas. The Mexican Government had also ordered the administrator of the tobacco revenue in Sonora to remit by this packet a bill for 12,000 dollars to Calonel Facio, in order to be added to the funds in the Bank of England, but the COM in ittee' is not yet aware of the actual arrival of this remittance. " With regard to the Bill for the adjustment of the foreign debt now before the Mexican Legislature, his ExcAency the Minister of Finance, under date of Mexico, Svotember 3, 1850, writes as follows " ' The Congress has not been inattentive to this interesting matter.

TEE NEW STEAM-SHIP AFRICA. (From the Liverpool Times.) The Africa, the largest built of that wonder of the world, the British and North American Royal Mail Steam-fleet, arrived here a few days ago, from the Clyde, having left Greenock at four o'clock on Satur day 'ternoon, for this port. She was followed shortly afterwards by the Glasgow steam-ship Com modore, which vessel she beat by six hours or more. The trip was made from Greenock to the Bell Buoy in sixteen hours against a gale of wind which threw the spray clean over the vessel, and high up the funnel. But in the strength of the gale she was making 13e knots, by the log, and by the land. She had pre viously made a trial trip from Greenock to the Cumbraes, on which occasion she sailed, with com parative ease, fifteen miles against a strong tide and wind in an hour and three minutes. She can scarcely be distinguished from her duplicate the Asir, being made from the same lines and moulds, both as regards hull and machinery. The only perceptible difference that can be discovered between these two noble ves sels, is in the subjects of the paintings that adorn their respective saloons. On reaching the Coburg Dock, where the Africa now lies, the first thing that srikes the spectator is her elegant and noble appear ance. Though her vast size astonishes, yet it is impossible not to admire the beauty and fineness of her model, which gives a peculiar lightness to her whole appearance. The stern is round, and on it appears the word " Africa." The bow is beautifully shaped, and carries a finely carved figure of Cleopatra, painted in white and gold, and carved by Mr. Robertson, of this town. The first place the visitor goes to is the dining saloon, which is on deck. The decorations here are remarkable for taste and simplicity ; everything is neat and rich, without being gaudy or out of character. The general colour is oak, and the seat fittings are made of the finest crimson velvet. The walls are adorned by upwards of twenty characteristic paintings in papier mache, by Messrs. Jennings and Betteridge, of Birmingham. The greater part of these are appro priately African landscapes, &c., and both as regards drawing and colouring are worthy of high praise. The subjects are Bono, Tetuan, Cairo, Alexandria, Tripoli, Algiers, Morocco, Cape of Good Hope, the Amphi theatre of El Jemm, the Temple of Isis, and the roof of the great temple at Dendra. There are also pictures of St. Petersburgh and Buckingham Palace, showing the new front, &c. There is an allegorical painting of Africa, displaying the principal animals, trees, &c., of that quarter of the globe. The stern-lights into the dining-room are through two stained-glass win dows, the one representing Aaron's rod turned into a serpent before the magicians of Egypt and of Pharoah, and the other depicting an angel of light descending, with an olive-branch in his hand, to liberate a group of African slaves. At the opposite end of the saloon two triple-plate glass mirrors are inserted in foliated gilt frames, surmounted by a lion and lioness spring ing from the foliage. The next place worthy of inspection is the stew • ard's pantry, glittering with glass and silver plate. The small room is the beau deal of multum in parvo. It must have cost many hours of thought and con triving to stow away the many articles in so small a space. The drawers are perfect wonders of ingenuity, and were filled with all sorts of useful, agreeable, and valuable articles—such as silver spoons, forks, fruit, sugar, &c. 'This pantry is far superior to any we ever saw before. It is well lighted, and better ventilated, and much more convenient and roomy, than those on board of the older ships ; not that it occupies more space than the others do, but solely because the result of long experience has been brought to bear in its con struction. The water used for the passengers passes through two filters, and the sink in which the plates are washed can be filled with clear and pure water from the tanks below by the simple pressure of a valve. The lights can also be shifted by moveable slides to any portion of the pantry where they may be needed. The engines, by Mr. Napier, of Glas gow, are similar in every respect to those of the Asia, combining immense strength with lightness of ap pearance. The framework used formerly to be made of cast iron, but now wrought iron is found to be more safe and useful. In the engine-room, in addition to a clock, the visitors will perceive a dial plate, covered with glass, containing one large circle and four or five smaller ones; these are to count the revolutions of the paddle-wheels; the largest finger goes once round the large circle at each revolution, the smaller circles count them by hundreds, thousands ' ten thousands, and millions. On an average, the Africa's paddle wheels will make 250,000 revolutions in one voyage, so that she will have to make two voyages out and home before the finger of the " million" circle goes completely round it. The cooking-house next claims attention, and ex cites the wonder of the beholder at the small place in which the cooking is done with ease for upwards of 200 persona daily. The cooking range in the Africa, made by Mr. Allan, of Glasgow, is the most complete that has ever been used, and answers, we were told, most admirably. The provisions for the crew are cooked in another place, by steam from the engines. Around the funnel are a variety of iron cupboards for heating plates, dishes, &c., and drying linen; and at each side of the steps are large receptacles for cold meat, bread, &c.; kept cool by woollen jalousies. Everything, in fact, is deceptive, and when the visitor thinks be is passing a solid piece of wood or iron, of no particular utility, the cicerone opens it with the utmost unconcern, and displays a receptacle for some article of daily and general use. The au thors of the " Arabian Nights," in their wildest ex travagances, never dreamt of anything half so won derful as the Cunard steam-ship Africa. We next pass on to the apartments of the steerage passengers, which are exceedingly neat and commodious. We were also much pleased with the forecastle, where the crew sleep. It w as li g ht, c l ean , an d well venti lated, and formed a pleasing contrast to the dirty, dark holes where the tired sailor usually retires to rest in other ships. Returning by the deck-houses for the officers, car penter, surgeon, &c., the next place worthy of in spection is the captain's cabin, placed at the larboard side of the wheel-house. It is most luxuriously and elegantly fitted up, the walls being decorated with papier mach& paintings of Asiatic scenes, which being found too small for the saloon of the Asia, here ap pear to great advantage. Time subjects are—" A Cap Vendor's Shop in Canton," " Harbour of Hong- Kong," " Bridge of Nankin," " Amoy," Allegorical paintings of Asia—" Ladies of a Mandarin's Family," &c. The fittings up, such as tables, drawers, &c., are exceedingly compact. The captain while in the cabin has only to open a small window to converse with the steersman. The roof of the dining-saloon, as usual, forms a delightful promenade. Below are placed the sleeping berths, which are better arranged than in the old steamers, the passage between them running com pletely round the stern, so that the attendant can immediately proceed to the berth of any one wanting his services. The furniture of the state-rooms is perfectly luxurious, the curtains being of fine flowered merino, and the carpets, particularly in the ladies state-rooms, of the most beautiful appearance and texture. For the accommodation of the lady pas sengers ladders to enable them to reach with ease the upper berths are placed in some of the rooms. The gentlemen's cabin, on the same floor, is elegant and commodious, and that for the ladies of surpassing beauty. The walls are formed of the finest polished bird's-eye maple, inlaid with ebony, and decorated with panels, on which are painted, by Mr. M'Callan, of Glasgow, vases of flowers, on a white ground. These panels have a peculiarly palatial appearance, and on being opened wffair t heer ed i splaywupilal occupants library tcanwile o permitfl choice books, with time w wh he ic n h t t h h e e pear on deck. Th ere i s also a fiytothisepir marble, and it needs littl e i mag inati r o el to the occupant is in the drawing-room of ateahc w n eeaf o ma h noa l c e fyw m th a hi n at - et man sion on terra firma. The Africa will be entrusted to Captain Ryrie , an d we can readily believe th a t h e w ill b e found as' ab le a seaman in her as he has proved in the other steamers of the company. We may also add that we hear that, to keep up the necessities of the times, the com pany are about to lay down two more steamers, to be twenty feet longer than the Africa, and of propor tionate power. We are indebted to a contemporary for the follow ing dimensions, builders' measurement : Ft. In. ... 267 0 ... 40 6 ... 27 6 ... 2,128 78-94ths.

A pair of side-lever engines of 814. horse nominal power. Diameter cylinders, 96 inches by 9 feet stroke; paddle-wheels, diameter, extreme, 37 feet 7 inches, and 26 feet 10 inches effective ; 28 floats, 9 feet 2 inches by 3 feet 2 inches; three sets 'of 28 arms,'S floats in the water of 19 feet draught of water. Four flue boilers, 20 furnaces ; bunkers to hold 890 tons of coals ; 38 hands in the engine-room. The Africa is built of the best British oak, and planked double out and inside, and between the frames is filled up, from the keel to the gunwale, with rock salt, to preserve the vessel from the dry ret. The number of her berths will enable her to carry 180 passengers. She will be manned by a full crew of chosen men, giving about one-third to each department. The quantity of coal she is estimated to carry is 900 tons, and she has capacity for the transit of 600 tons of cargo, not in cluding the stores of ships and passengers. Oa Tuesday the Africa left the graving -dock and proceeded on a short trial trip to the Crosby Light ship. A select party, including Mr. M'lver, Captain Bevis, Mr. Moody, the Government inspector, &c., were on board, and were highly pleased with her performance. The engines worked with great free dom, and though there was a strong spray tide against her, she sailed with ease at the rate of thirteen knots per hour. The Europa sails for New York on Saturday next—the Africa proceeding on her first passage on the 26th of October. The Hibernia, which will shortly arrive here, has been sold to the Spanish Government, and will run from Cadiz to Cuba jointly with the Caledonia. WRECK OF THREE INDIAMEN. By the arrival of the overland mail from India on Friday afternoon the und erwr it ers at Ll oyd ' s were put in possession of information relative to the melancholy loss of three fir s t- c l ass ships employed in the East India trade, namely, the Manchester, 600 tons, bound for London ; the Ariadne, 700 tons of Greenock, bound for Liverpool ; and the Nereid, 700 tons, of London. That of the Ariadne created the deepest regret, the intelligence leaving very little doubt that all hands, together with some passengers, met with a watery grave. The unfortunate chip, we are given to understand, sailed from Calcutta for England in the latter part of July, with a valuable freight on board. About three weeks afterwards, some vessels, bound to Calcutta, in passing near Palmyras Point, on the India coast, discovered a wreck, which, on examination, proved to be that of the Ariadne. No living creature, however, was to be seen on the wreck, or in any other place near it. and she was fast breaking up. Immediately on the melancholy news reaching Calcutta, the authorities dispatched a Government steamer to the spot, with in structions to ascertain, if possible, the fate of the crew. A few hours before the mail steamer started for Eng land_the steamer returned] to Calcutta with intelli gence confirming the loss of the ship and cargo, and that great doubts existed regarding the fate of those belonging to the ship. The chief mate of the Ariadne was picked up on a spar by the steamer off the coast, 40 miles southward of the place where the ship was lost. The poor fellow was in a shocking state of ex haustion. He had been twelve days exposed, subsist ing entirely on some berries. As far as could be gleaned from him, it appeared that the master and crew had been carried out to sea on a raft in a gale of wind. The steamer went in search, and, after several days' cruising, returned to Calcutta. It is reported there were from 30 to 40 per sons on the raft, and from the violent state of the weather when it was driven out to sea it is doubt ful whether any of them survive. Still, hopes are entertained that they may have been picked up by some vessel. The ship and cargo are valued at 30,0001. The Manchester Indiamau was wrecked on the Sangor Islands on the 6th of August, a few days' sail from Calcutta. Several of her crew met with injury by the falling of her mainmast, after the ship struck, but all hands were fortunate enough to escape in the boats before the vessel broke up. It is considered a very heavy loss. She was the property of Messrs. Wade and Co., merchants in the City, who are said to be insured. The other unfortunate ship, the Nereid, foundered on the morning of the 9th of July last, in lat 34.52 S. In a tremendous gale of wind she encountered some days previous she sprung a leak, and eventually the crew were compelled to take to the boats, the ship going down head foremost within an hour efterwards. The gale had not abated when the boats left, and it was with great exertions they were got to a vessel, the Emperor, from Calcutta, the master of which had hove his ship to and remained by from the previous night. They were taken on board and received every kind ness. The Nereid belonged to Messrs. Phillips and Co., of the City. The loss of the three ships is calculated to exceed 100,0001. CAIRN GORM. A Grantown correspondent supplements with the following remarks the account we gave a week or two ago of this mountain and the scenes it presented during the summer :—" Cairngorm just now holds th© same relation to the surrounding country that California does to the continent of America. Won derful stories of the discovery of masses of precious stones of incredible size and unheard-of beauty have been for some months past floating down the vale of Strathspey, and found credence with not a few whose curiosity was excited and cupidity inflamed by the accounts of the marvellous riches, said to be every day dug from the bowels of this celebrated mountain. The consequence was that numbers forsook their usual employment, and equipping themselves with all the necessary accoutrements, marched—with knapsack on back—to the new diggings, to try the latest royal road , to fortune—that fickle goddess being supposed to have for some time back deserted the agricultural plains, and pitched her tent and held her court amid the wilds of Cairngorm. It is strange that the fortune-hunters, generally speaking, aim first at reaching the top of the mountain, whether led on by the commendable ambition that prompts all the sons of Adam to rise in the world, or by the conviction that the lady of their search, if lurking on the sides of the mountains might be more easily descried from the summit—l cannot say. Certain, however, it is, that all think the highest point of the hill the first point they should try to reach. Numbers on reaching the top have vainly gazed around for a sight of her ladyship, and when they failed in this, proceeded to dig into the bowels of the mountain, supposing she had taken shelter from the keen winds which almost always blow there, in one or other of the numerous caverns which abound on the slopes of the mountain. Proceeding on this supposition, the stroke o f th e p i c k- axe soon disturbed the solitude of the mountains, startled the eagle, and made the glens re-echo with unwonted sounds. By and •bye dispatches from the mountains confirmed the previous rumours and increased the numbers of the diggers. Partly fur pleasure and partly to satisfy ourselves of the truth of the reports flying about, a party of six, of which I was one, left Grantown at nine P.M. on Tuesday last, and having walked all night (with the exception of a short rest at Nethy Bridge and another at Sleaghich), succeeded in coming near the top of the mountain by six o'clock on Wenesday morning. There we found a dozen men ' in parti es o f t wos an d thr e es, digging away with all their might. We, of course, inquired about their success, and the answer was, that from Mmiday morning till Wednesday noon they had succeeded in digging up—how many think you ? Take a moderate estimate, and not be led away by an imagi nation more fertile than Cairngorm itself. In that short time, two days and a half, they had got — nothing ! 'We th en amused ourselves by removing some large stones from the moutain side and rolling them down the precipices, and returned. I beg to conclude by giving you my private opinion on the digging. It is this—seeking for Cairngorm stones is like searching for a score of needles in an enormous stack of hay. Some, no doubt, have found fine spe cimens of great value, but for every one whose toil is rewarded, there are at least twelve who get nothing. One may be enriched by good luck, and a score pau• perised by a loss of time that might otherwise be pro fitably employed.—lnverness Courier. SUN, A PIG-CHASE, The following humorous adventure occurred re cently near this city. It was about seven o'clock in the evening when the hero of our tale drove home a strong grunter a few months old, having just pur chased it with the intention of converting his body into prime Herefordshire bacon. The young ani mal had consented to walk from his old to his new habitation pretty peaceably, but on arriving at his new domicile and surveying it wist fully, he turned abruptly round and would have scampered back to the home he had left behind him, but his owner willed otherwise, and after a little op position, some grunting on one side and physical per suasion on the other, piggy was ensconced in his lodgings. His new owner, after supping him, and of course himself; duly retired to bed ; he enjoyed his " first" sleep, which would have been prolonged, but about midnight he was awakened by a noise in the yard, which begat a suspicion that thieves were on the premises; hastily dressing himself, down stairs he went, and arrived below just in time to catch a an g d li g m a p ll s obg glimpse of hdibswngrtuhne road.ter dashing Off went the pig, a n d through th e ga t e away followed his owner. Porcine eccentricities are familiar even to a proverb : instead of keeping in the road, piggy soon found a gap in the hedge, and through it he darted; hie over, and his owner was with him ; away they scampered, " over hill and down dale," until ,at last they arrived at the canal tunnel !—it was twelve o'clock, but being a bright night, it was not quite dark ; in the tunnel, however, it was dark —very; like a shot in went the grunter, and at his heels went his hunter. Reader, were you ever in the tunnel ? Go in the day time, and then judge what it is at " dead of night." Piggy ran grunting along, hut his pursuer had much ado to avoid tumbling into the dull stream which he re garded as th e r i ver S tyx ; so he " cut his Styx " as well mirky as he could, grop i ng his way along; but when he h e p t race, , g ‘ av e e n d i i t h v fromerr wearied ear, t o u r be e , y " houf his sd runawaylost all himselfmb andon t e heavy dvyheartgivi n hge notretur ne him self;d but his pig, up for lost. Sleep would not re visit his pillow; restless he turned and turned and turned again till five o'cicck, when he rose, deter mined to find his porcine treasure or perish in the at tempt—no, not quite that either; but the fine hams flitted across his vision, and the savoury rashers seemed to be smoking under his nose ; therefore, find his pig he would ; and after another, but more patient search, he found him quietly nestling in a foldyard with others of his kind. Suffice now to say that, with some trouble, he safely lodged him again, and took such precautions for his future custody, that when he next makes his escape it will probably be into the hands of the butcher, on which occasion his life will pay the penalty.—Hereford Times. IRELAND. - - - DUBLIN, MONDAY. ENCUMBERED ESTATES. There is a falling off in the applications for sales in the Encumbered Commission Court. Within the week ending on the 2d instant only ten petitions for the sale of estates were filed, chiefly affecting very small properties. The total number of petitions is now 1,256. THE IRISH LINEN TRADE. -- The high price of yarns still operates prejudicially upon the staple trade of the north. The Banner of Ulster has the follow ing report: —" Stocks of linen yarns continue to accumulate, though since our last there has been a decline of fully lid. per bundle in linen wefts, and although the reduction of sd. per bundle on all tow yarns has been followed by an increased demand on the part of manufacturers. It is fully expeced that, under the circumstances of the trade, a considerab:e reduction will this month be made in the price of yarns, unless the old policy of holding over large stocks, or of exporting to the continent, with the r€- solution of taking such prices as can be obtained for them, be resorted to. In Ballymena, on Saturthy last, cloth was firm and scarce. There were very few yarn 3 sold. In Armagh, on Tuesday, a similar state of things existed: It has been stated to us as a fact . , that the quantity of cloth manufactured at this time is 1e4.• than that manufactured at the same period last year by fully one-half. This unhappy pos iti on o f affair. is attributed to the high rate of yarns, and the uti- , r impossibility, on the part of the manufacturer, ro obtain a corresponding advance in cloth. The latest advices from America are not encouraging.. Private letters state that sales at better prices cannot be ef• fected, and that there is little likelihood of improve• ment for some time, if at all. Consignments from this port to the United States are now extremely limited, and we understand that some of the more spirited of blir merchants are refusing to ship except to order. THE IRISH BUTTER AND CORN TRADE.—The Lime rick Chronicle contains the following :—" The price of butter in Cork and Limerick markets has advanced so high as 83s. per cwt. Good news for the dairy farmers this, showing, too, that pasture in Ireland is more profitable than tillage. One butter export mer chant in Limerick will clear 2,000/. upon his present stock. The oats shipped from Limerick last month is estimated in value at 25,0001." IMPORT OF CHEVIOT SHEEP.—The Cork Constitu lion says—" 480 Cheviot sheep were landed on Thurs day evening from on board the Albert steamer from Liverpool, for the Earl Shannon. They are small but pretty animals, and active as ant-lopes. The flesh is much prized, very similar to our Kerry mut ton in flavour." THE CHIEF SECRETARY IN THE WEST.—The Galway Indi cator states t h at Si r Wil l i am Somerville, the chief secretary, i s now upon a tour through the • western provin ces . He was in Galway on F r id ay last, and v i s i ted the Queen's College and other public institutions. In the evening he left that town, on a short visit to Mr. O'Flaherty, M.P., and from thence will proceed through Connemara. THE LATE MURDER IN THE COUNTY DOWN.— An inquest was held on Friday at the scene of the murder of John M'Cormack, in the county Down. The evidence tended to implicate a man named M'llveen, for whose apprehension a warrant has been issued. It appeared from the evidence that M'llveen, bo:ne time previously, bad evinced symptoms of jealousy towards deceased, for supposed intimacy with his wife, and that he bore a grudge towards him on that account. One of the witnesses, the Rev. Mr. Blakely, stated that he looked upon M'llveen as in sane, and had previous to the murder spoken about having him placed in a lunatic asylum. The inquest was adjourned until Monday week. TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 8, 1850. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. John Hartman was on Saturday brought up for final examination upon the charge of having committed a burglary and robbery in the house of Mr. Stanley, proprietor of the Crown Hotel, at Leamington. The prisoner had been examined on a former day, when it was .proved that some commercial travellers, who had slept in the Crown Hotel, had been plun dered, and that the prisoner had left the house at a very early hour in the morning, and come by a cir cuitous route to London, where, at the Queen's Hotel, in Aldersgate-street, he was apprehended. The following is the additional evidence : XI.. John Stanley —I keep the Crown Hotel at Leamington. I know the prisoner. He came on the 28th of August to my house, and remained there till Saturday the 31st. He did not retire to bed till near 2 o'clock on the Saturday morning, and he rose again at half-pest four, and went off. He had said nothing to me about going away at half-past 4 o'clock. When I got up at half-past 7 o'clock, one of my servants informed me that some gentlemen in the house had bean robbed, and on inquiry I found that Boots had let out the prisoner at half past 4. The prisoner did not pay his bill before he went. I lost nothing except the amount of his bill. Mr. Thomas Keeler, of No. 18, Wood.street, C'neapside, commercial traveller—l was at Learning 'en on the nigi.t of the 30th of August. I went to bed at the Crown Hotel, at half-past ten o'clock. I hail in a brown purse in any pocket two 51. notes, two or three sovereigns, and a ball-sovereign, besides some loose silver. I lost the money. Al.itqw , An CHAU:Is—MI you lock your bedroom doer ? se—No, but I closed it. In the morn ire.; I mire,' the contents of my pocket. Everything else lit the room :vas apparently in the same state as V":1 - 1‘ , rt I wmt to bed. Mr. John Black—l am a manufacturer in Bow ler.', and. was at Leitnington on the night of the 30th Of .1 ietiet. I went to bed in the Crown Hotel, at hal eeeve. ten or a quarter , o eleven, and had about me a 51. mote and 10 saver, igns. I did not lock my bed room doon le the rno;.ning I missed the note and gold. Lii , l not see tbe prisoner there. I believe he was moetle in the smoking-room. The prisoner (to the witness)—Did you know me while I was as you say at Leamington ? Witness— No. The prisoner —Then you should not speak of your belief. Mr. Stanley—The prisoner slept next door but two to Mr. Black's bedroom. In answer to questions from the Alderman, Mr. Superintendent Roby, of the Leamington police, said the prisoner went by the name of Elking ton, and he saw the prisoner on the 28th September, and on the Thursday and Friday following at Lea mington. Mr. Welsh, a commercial traveller from London, also slept in the Crown Hotel on the 30th, but he locked his bedroom door and was not robbed. Alderman CHALLIS then asked the prisoner in the usual form whether he wished to say anything in answer to the accusation ? The prisoner—Nothing. Alderman CHALLIS—Yon stand committed for a burglary and rubbery in the dwelling-house of Mr. Stanley, in Leamington. The prisoner —A burglary ? Alderman Care.aus—Yes, for a robbery in the house, and for breaking out of the house. The prisoner —I had some little money, four sove reigns and some silver, in my possession when I was apprehended. I wish to have it returned to me. Alderman CHALLIS—I shall make no order about it. Ido not think that it belongs to you. The prisoner —Why, you convict me at once. Alderman CHALLIS—I convict you as far as I can. I commit you for trial, and I believe the evidence will fully convict you. The prisoner was then fully committed to Warwick Gaol for trial, and delivered up to the superin tendent. sth do. 2d bat {lst bat -the time, and saw the defendant taking a cap of coffee at the stall, and heard him talking to some other man, but not in a manner to disturb the neighbourhood. That he (witness) then observed the policeman come up, and order the defendant to go on, who at the moment was drinking the coffee, and the latter made a reply that he was disturbing no person, and that he did not see why he should be interfered with. The defendant then placed his empty coffee-cup on the stall, when the policeman, without uttering another word, rushed at the man, knocked him down on his back, and a bottle being is his coat-pocket it was smashed, and it was only surprising he was not seriously injured. The witness added, that the con duct of the policeman throughout was scandalous, and that the defendant committed no offence to justify such brutality as that which was inflicted upon him. In reply to Mr. ATECKETT, the witness said, that it was untrue of the policeman to assert that there were a number of women on the spot at the time, there only b g eing two females present; that the de fendant might have been talking rather loud, but not at all in a tone to disturb the inhabitants. He (wit ness) distinctly saw the policeman rush at the man and knock him doWn in the way described. Another witness confirmed this evidence. Mr. ATECKETT said it was necessary that police men should be protected in the execution of their duty. In this particular case, however, it appeared that there were no just grounds for the policeman's interference with the defendant while drinking his coffee, and that instead of the latter committing the first assault, it was proved by two competent wit nesses that the policeman was the aggressor. The public must also be proteeted from such conduct as that described, and, therefore, under the circum stances, he should discharge the defendant. The ma gistrate then entered his decision of the case on the police-sheet, which it is probable will cause further investigation into the matter by the Commissioners of Police.

CORK, OCT. 4.—We have to re port continued arrivals of foreign wheat and maize. The supplies of home grain were, in the early part of the week, very liberal; but during the last day or two they have Wren off little. The receipts for the week amount to—Wheatr 2,855 brls, at 16s to 22, 3d; barley, 9,139 brls, at 8s 1 0 12s; oats, 14,786 brls, at 7s to f)s per brl. Wheat may be called 64 per brl cheaper, grinding barley and black oats 34 to 4d lower, and malting barley and mealing oat§ about the same as last week. In prepared and foreign wheat we have little business passing. The same mil be said of prepared barley, stocks of which are von/ small. There seems little disposition on the part of the trade to make purchases of eats, the value of which tends to decline. A. parcel ha, been sold at an outport at 8s 3d per brl, and we quote the value of the article St Irom that figure to 8s Gd. '.Cho flour market exhibits very little alteration from its position last week. With light stocks (the millers being still short of water) we experience only a quiet, mini lumptive demand for the article, at late prices.

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE HOSPITAL—The lac' , Mrs. Ann Goodman, Ca/edoniais Me - of Islington, has bequeathed a legacy of 1001. to this valuable institution. CLERKENWELL. Mr. John Brookes, builder, of Great Warner street, Clerkenwell, and William Purchas, his brother in-law, residing in the same house, were placed at the bar, before Mr. Combs, charged under the following circumstances : Mr. Robinson attended on the part of the prisoners. Cooper, police-constable, 112 G, deposed that on Saturday night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, he, in company of Fisher, another officer, 127 G, was taking two prisoners to the station-house in Bag nigge Well,-road, on a charge of attempting to pick pockets, and as they were proceeding through Great Warner-streef., the prisoner Perches pushed against witness. and sai,i " What did you do that for ?" Witness hail hold of one of the prisoners, when he Purchas) collared and struck witness. He imme diately sdvel the prisoner, who threw him up and he escaped into a kitchen in the prisoner Brookes's who-re he lodged. Witness pursued him, leasing the prisoners with Fisher; as he was run nin,z down the steps he ex , :laimed " here is a police irpo (coning, lv-ep him out I" a n d o n getti ng into the kitchen h shut tht , dor,r. He was attacked by Brookes and several women who were in the kitchen, and they reicur,l Purchas; Brookes struck him, and the whole of them pushed him through a window, by which Purchas made his escape. His (witoess') arm was severely wounded by the glass, and he w:is taken to the hospital bleeding profusely. lie was disabled from duty. With the t.ssistance of other officers he took Brookes into cus tody. Purchas came to the station in about a quarter of an hour afterwards, and he was taken into custody and locked up on the charge of assault and attempted rescue. Brookes was charged with an assault and rescuing Porches. Mr. Robinson—Pray did you not say they were no better than a gang of thieves ; and did you not beat the women with your handcuffs ? Witness—l did not. I tried to defend myself. I did not take the women, because I chose to take the man. I did not threaten to handcuff an Italian who came there. William Fisher, 127 G-, said he was assisting Cooper to take two prisoners to the station-house. In Great Warner-street Purchas pushed and struck Cooper on the side of the head, saying they were not policemen, and they should not take the prisoners. Police-constables 125 and 164 G gave confirmatory evidence. Mr. Robinson said that, according to his instruc tions, this must be a case of great perjury on one side or the other. His client, Mr. Brookes, was an elderly respectable man, who had resided in his present house for 57 years. His family, with some friends, were sitting down to supper, and he was quietly reading the newspaper, when Cooper rushed into the kitchen, . _ dressed in private clothes. Mr. Brookes felt surprised at the intrusion, and said he had no right in his place, and he did threaten to defend himself in his own house, if any violence was resorted to. He attributed violence on the part of the officer Cooper towards Mrs. Brookes, and the females who were present, and that the wound on his arm was through forcing his arm against the window. Sarah Langley, a relation to Mr. Brookes, gave evidence that Cooper did not say he was au officer. They were at supper, and Mr. Brookes was reading the newspaper. He beat Mrs. Brookes with his hand cuffs and knocked over the table and supper things. Her lip was cut, which she said was done by Cooper striking her with the handcuffs. Sarah Furchas, daughter of the prisoner Parches, sAd that her uncle, Mr. Brookes, was reading the nowspa per when her father passed through the kit chen. Cooper entered. He did not say he was a pidicemaD. lie seized Mr. Brookes, and his wife got up rc %41,te him. By Mr. Robinson—My father went to his bed room, knd Cooper went after him and thrust his arm Uirough the window. I did not know that he was a policeman di6guise. He came back and beat me .in the hands with the handcuffs, and they are now quite sore. Mr. Costello came to our assistance, and be threatened to handcuff him. Mr. COMITC—•TiIiS you - r - ;!‘, , woman has given her , vi(inee in a fair way, hut I cannot depend upon the first woman's evidence, and I shall send the case to the se,3ions. IrCooper's evidence is true, that Purchas ran against him and struck him, he had a right to go afar ttilr. Robin .on said he had five other witnesses to confirm Miss Purchas's evidence ; but if it was the de termination of the bench to send the case before s jury, he would reserve the de'ence for the trial. Cooper protium -a a certificate to show that his hand was shockingly injured. Mr. COMBS said ha would commit the prisoners for trial, but he would receive bail for their appearance on a future day, in order that the officer might be properly attended to, and the case would stand over until the next session. The required bail was produced, and the prisoners berated. SOUTHWARK. Cornelius Bowen, a respectable-looking middle aged man, was brought before Mr. a'Beckett on the following charges : Policeman Gingle, 109 M, stated that while on duty at the corner of Fishmongers'- alley, Iligh• street, at half-past one o'clock in the morni , g, he saw the de fendant standing at a coffee stall and several women they were talking and making a noise, and he desired the defendant to move on, when he refused, and threatened to throw some coffee at him if he meddled with him. He (the policeman) then went towards the defendant, who seized him by the collar, tore his coat, and in the struggle they both fell to the ground, but he succeeded in taking his assailant to the station house. The defendant contradicted the policeman's state ment, and called forward two witnesses in his behalf, who gave a very different version of the transaction to that alleged against him. One of the witnesses, Robert Martin, stated, that he is an engineer in the employ of Messrs. Barclay and Perkins, and that he is a perfect stranger to all the parties. That he happened to be near the, spot at MILITARY STATIONS. (From the United Service Magazine for October.) s for S ltegimentsandCorpsl Troo p Service Companies. Depots. 6th do.
