LIVERPOOL STEEPLECHASE.—Despite the strong field that will in all probability be found arrayed against Miss Mowbray when the nominations are published, she was again in high force—as little as 7 to 1 being taken.

Hitherto the two j o i nt secretaryships of the board were parliamentary offices, and the several secretaries went in and out of office with each successive administration. But the necessity o f having a permanent officer of that rank has long been felt, and it has now been determined to assimilate the chief office for the Government of India to the offices of the Secretaries of State in that particular. It is known that of the two Under-Secretaries in each department of home, foreign, and colonial affairs, one is attached per manently to the office, without a seat in Parliament, and attends mainly to the legal and departmental busi ness ; whilst the other is in Parliament, attends chiefly to the Legislative business, and goes in and out of office with the Ministry. Sir Thomas Redington, K.C.8., is it i rEwepinted to the permanent secretaryship under the new feat eltieft-Observer. A I :', . &_-- r_373; . , ... 1 6 - % .•- .6 - . • , , , , "A.

Mr. Phipson, was counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. K. Macaulay, with another learned gen tleman, appeared for the defendant. This was an action brought against the proprietor of the " Wellington" (omnibus) which runs down the Park road, to recover damages for injuries which had been sustained by the plaintiff, in consequence, as it was alleged, of the negligence of the defendant's servant. It appeared that on the morning of the 9th June last, the plaintiff was an outside passenger on an " Atlas" omnibus, of which a person named Brooks is the pro prietor and driver ; when, just as the "Atlas" was start ing, after having taken up a passenger, the " Welling ton" drove up against it, broke off the iron on the front seat, and threw the plaintiff into the road, when the fore wheel of the " Atlas" passed over his:leg and considerably injured it. The defence was that the Atlas was endeavouring to cross the road in front of the Wellington when the acci dent occurred. A great number of witnesses were called upon either side, being the persons riding in both of the omnibuses, and bystanders who had witnessed the occurrence, who gave very contradictory evidence with regard to which of the drivers was in fault. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Dam ages 2001. Lord Campbell refused to certify for a special jury, as he thought a common jury might have disposed of the case very satisfactorily. WILLI.AXS V. LANG.-DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON BOARD A was that I have a little account of aboutlt. to make up, - to pay' in - Walbrook ;" and he pulled out his porte monnaie ; and that moment Mr. Fortescue came up the stairs and saidto me, "Do you know that party ?" I said "No, he has just called upon me and said be was a particular friend of yours." Mr. Fortescue said the prisoner had just called upon and said he claimed the acquaintance and friendship of me. I said, " I never saw the prisoner before in my life." The prisoner then said, " I beg your pardon, Mr. Weston ; I have seen you frequently." I asked him where. He replied at the house opposite. I asked what house. He said at a public-house: There was no public-house. He then said at Lake's dining-rooms in Cheapside. I stated that I had not been there for two years, and Mr. Fortescue said the prisoner was an impostor, and gave him in charge to a policeman. The prisoner said, upon receiving the usual caution from his lordship—l hope you will be inclined to think that it is more an error of the head than any intention to defraud. It is true I do not question their evidence that I did as they described. I have had three attacks of delirium tremens, and I was, on the 24th of last month, discharged from St. Thomas's Hospital, after having had the third attack, and such is my prostration of mind and body with the recollection of what has oc curred and the severance of friendships I held most dear that sometimes I do not recollect what has occurred. In May last I charged myself with embezzlement, which was not true. In fact lam a perfect wreck, and if it please the Almighty to take me I shall be thankful indeed. A lioensed victualler who sat in the justice-room said —I have known the prisoner for some years. He came to me and two others four years ago, and victimised us exactly in the same way. The prisoner was then committed for trial. The Lord Mayor requested that the press would acknowledge his receipt of 1/. is. from A,LC, for the poor-box. GUILDHALL.—George Parker, John Saunders, alias M‘Guire, Charles Marshall, and Lewis Myers, were placed at the bar before Sir R. Carden and Alder man Humphery, charged with being concerned in the late extensive aobbery of plate, watches, and jewellery, at Leighton Bnzzard. Mr. Waller, who appeared for the prosecution, said that Mr. Reuben Rouse Rowell, a watchmaker, and jeweller, of Oxford, was present to complain of a similar robbery committed upon his premises in July last, when a quantity of watches were stolen, one of which was ultimately offered to him again for sale. He was en abled thereby to trace the possession of it through seve ral hands to Mr. Jones, the refiner, of Wilderness-row, who declined to tell of whom he purchased it, and as a cheque for 151. of Jones's, of a subsequen.t date to that of the robbery, was found in Myer's possession, Mr. Rowell was indueed to believe that the prisoners at the bar were concerned in the burglary at Oxford, as well as the one with which they stood charged. Alderman Humpheiy said that was a distinct charge, and he would take care and have Mr. Jones before him to account for his possession of the stolen watch. _ _ A number of Other witnesses were then examined ; and the following letter found at Marslhall's lodgings was also read : " London, Dec. 7, 1353. " Friend Henry,—You must excuse •me writing to you, but I have left the Royal Oak, as Mr. Parker is not there. Write to me by return of - post, as I shall operate next Sunday night if possible.—:[ remain yours, &c. FRIEND. " Direct for me, No. 84, Hill-street, Walworth-road, London. I have left Union-street." This letter was 'addressed " Mr. H. Auckland, at Mr, Coupland's, farmer, Carlton, near Worksop, Notting. hamshire." Mr. Waller said the prisoners were apprehended on the night before the Sunday specified in the letter for the writer and his friend to " operate," or in other words, to rob Mr. Coupland's premises, and their in tended visit was therefore prevented. Huggett said Marshall had been living in 'Union-street until very lately. Henry Passant was then called to show that Mar shall occupied , the room in which the letter was found, and that since the burglary at Leighton Buz zard he had purchased about 6/. or 71. worth of new furniture. Sir R. Carden intimated his intention to remand all the prisoners to Leighton Buzzard. The possession by Myers of stolen property, so soon after the commission of the crime, was a good reason for including him in the charge. If he were acquitted he might then be tried at the Old Bailey for the unlawful possession of stolen goods in London. Mr. Solomon, for Myers, asked if the worthy alder man would take bail for his client ? Sir Robert Carden— Certainly not. Mr. Solomon had only asked the question, in order that he might apply to one of the judges to take bail. - ;Alderman Humphery did not think any judge would accept bail in such a case. Parker complained that they were abov.t to be sent to a place to be tried where there' was already an unfavour able impression against them, and they did not consider they were getting fair play. They had no funds to take their legal advisers down with them into the coun try, so that they were entirely in the hands of the police. Sir Robert Carden thought the police engaged in the case had shown the most praiseworthy zeal, and they deserved great credit for the manner in which they had traced the prisoners and recovered portions of the stolen property. He felt convinced that in the hands of such experienced officers the prisoners would meet with every fairness, and all the assistance consistent with their duty. _ _ _ _ The depositions were completed in the course of the afternoon, and will be sent with the prisoners this morn ing to Leighton Buzzard. Alderman Humphrey acknowledged the receipt of 101. from " C, V." for the poor-box. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—The police made an other attack on the Cocoa-tree Club, St. James's street, better known as "Charles Lyley's," the fourth within about six months, and, as will be seen, with no better result than in the preceding instances. The parties found in the house and taken into custody in the majority of instances gave fictitious names. The police, however, succeded in obtaining real names and addresses, as far as they could do so with certainty, and the police sheet, as altered, presented the following list —Real names :—Charles 'Harrington, William Boswell, John Watson, Edward Herbert, Arthur Pearson, George Williams, William Richards, James Winsett, Frederick Lyley, James Wilkinson, James Griffiths, George Lyley, Charles Lyley, Hon. F. A. Carey, George Brown, (door keeper), Nathaniel Kemp, and Captain Scott. Fictiti ous names : Arthur Cooper, Nathanial Kemp, and Sam uel Brown—twenty persons in the whole. Mr. Clarkson was present for the defendants. Superintendent O'Brien, of the C Division, produced the usual authority from the Police Commissioners for entering the house known as the Cocoa-tree Club, No. 64, St. James's-street. About 3 o'clock yesterday morning, witness, accompanied by other constables, went to the house, and rang the outer-door bell. After a short delay the door was opened by the door-keeper, Brown. Witness went through the passage, and passed through other doors. He was stopped by a fourth door, which was strongly secured with iron bolts, stays, and bars. Witness told the constable to try to force th e door. The constable did so for some time, but without effect. The door at last was opened, and witness proceeded up stairs, and in the lobby met Charles Lyley, one of the defendants, who was taken into custody. The other defendants were found in a room on the first floor. Two of them were not present in court—the Hon. Mr. Carey and a military gentleman named John Scott. The room in which the defendants were found was fitted up as a billiard room, with three tables. The room was thoroughly searched, but no gaming implements were found in their possession, but some of them had consid erable sums of money about them. When taken to the station-house, several of the defendants gave fictitious names ; but after inquiries had been made, they gave their right names. • Mr. Bingham inquired if this was the whole of the evidence. The superintendent said it was. Mr. Bingham—There is no case made out against the defendants. They must be discharged. The defendant having been liberated, The superintendent applied for a warrant against the two parties who had neglected to make their appearance. A. solicitor, on behalf of the two gentlemen, said they were prepared with a sufficient excuse for their non-ap pearance. Mr. Bingham had no objection, provided a sufficient excuse were made out, to allow the matter to stand over for a short time. MARYLEBONE.—WiIIiam. Stratton, the keeper of a coffee-stall at Wharf-road, Paddington, was charged with having sold spirits without a license. Brown, 299 D, deposed that on the previous morn ing, at 6 o'clock, he was supplied with a cup of coffee at'the defendant's stall, and on witness remarking that it was a very cold frosty morning, the defendant said, " I have a little rum here, and you can have a drop." The rum was poured out from a tin bottle at the back of the stall. The defendant was then taken into custody. The prisoner said that on the Saturday night he had provided himself with a half-pint of rum to oblige par ties corning up by the mail train. They had previously given him the money to pay for it. Mr. Broughton inflicted a mitigated penalty of 251., and in default of payment three months' hard labour in the House of Correction. THE NEW CAB Aar.—Sir R. Mayne, Commissioner of Police, has applied, by a circular, to the various boards of trustees for lighting the roads leading from the metropolis, to the effect, that the most effectual mode of giving information to the public, at night as well as by day, of the point of the circumference of a circle of four miles radius from Charing-cross (with reference to the new cab law of last session) it is to place a lamp post at the spot, upon which a notice of the distance may be affixed. The trustees are therefore requested to cause a lamp-post to be put up at places, which will be pointed out to them by the superintendents of the respective divisions of police in which they are situated ; and who will supply the iron plates on which the notice is embossed in white raised letters upon a black ground. SUDDEN DEATH AT THE LONDON-BRIDGE STATION.— On Saturday Mr. Payne held an inquest on the body of Mr. William Matthews, who had died at the North Kent Railway station, London-bridge, on the previous night. The deceased had suddenly fallen down and ex pired. Mr. John Matthews, of No. 10, Church-street, Woolwich, son of the deceased, said that his father was a butcher. He had had pretty good health, but he had been troubled about family affairs, and he had complained of a heavy weight or pressure on his chest. The jury returned a verdict of " Natural death." GRAVESEND BOAT. Mr. Serjeant Wilkins, with Mr. Dawson, appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. O'Malley, with Mr. Lush, repre sented the defendant. This was an action brought to recover damages for injuries sustained' by the plaintiff's wife while she was a passenger on board a Gravesend steam-boat, in conse quence, as it was alleged, of the carelessness of the crew of that boat. It appeared that, on the evening of the Bth August last, the plaintiff, who is a sweep, and his wife, who is a charwoman, were on board the Dryad, which started from Gravesend at about half-past 5, and soon after wards stopped at Rosherville to take in more passen gers. The boat being very much crowded, Mrs. Wil hams, who had a child in her arms, had sat down upon one of the fenders, or dummies, which are used to pre vent the boat from striking against piers. When the order had been given to move on from Rosherville, the noose of the rope which attached the boat to the pier was not immediately thrown off, and some rope which was lying loose upon the deck got coiled round Mrs. Williams's foot, and took it quite off just above the ankle. , She was taken on shore to a surgeon, and after wards went to the hospital, where she was obliged to have her leg amputated, and remained for seven weeks. She had not since been able,to do any work, but had to be carried up and down stairs. She is only 20 years of age. Mrs. Williams, and some of the passengers by the Dryad, were called, and proved the above facts. The defence was, that Mrs. Williams alone was to blame for the accident, - and the captain and other per sons on board were called to show that the boat was not crowded on the evening in . question ; that when Mrs. Williams came on board several seats were vacant ; that after she had seated , herself upon the fender, with one of her feet inside the coil of rope, she had been told to remove by two boys and by the stewardess, but had re mained in the same place, and that the strain upon the rope; which was the immediate cause of the accident, was unavoidable, as there had not been time to pay out ,the rope before the accident happened. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins having replied, Lord Campbell summed up, telling the jury that they were to say whether it had been made out to their satis faction that the misfortune was caused by the negligence of the defendant's servants. If they found for the, plaintiff, they must award a reasonable but substantial and ample amount of damages. The jury retired, and after an absence of half an hour, returned and gave a verdict 'for the plaintiff—damages, 3501. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—Dec. 19. The sittings of the court for the December Genera.' Session were resumed..this morning at the Guildhall, Westminster, by adjournment fronr Clerkenwell, before Mr. Serjeant Adams, Mr. Witham, and a bench of ma gistrates.. There were 79 prisoners for trial, of whom 76 were committed on charges of felony. John Donoghue, 47, pleaded guilty to a charge of having feloniously embezzled the sums of 121. lls. 3d., 71., 11. 9s. 2d., 221. 18s. 9d., and other sums, which he had received for and on account of Thomas Mordell Smith and Walla& Mate, his masters and employers. The prosecutors in this case carry on a very extensive busines.4 as tallow-chandlers at Kensington, under the name of Tucker and Co., the original name of the firm, and the prisoner was in their employ as money-collector. He had mixed himself up with betting-office transactions to some extent, and had made use of money be had re ceived on his employers' account for the purpose of speculating upon the result of horse-races. Mr. Woollett appeared for the prisoner, and having addressed the court in mitigation of punishment, called Mr. Smith, the prosecutor, who said he was sorry he had felt himself compelled to prosecute in this case. The prisoner had been in the employ of the firm 13 years, and altogether he had known him about 20 years. The character of the prisoner - had been irreproachable up to these transactions. He had collected between 40,0001. and 50,0001. a-year for the firm ; he had a wife and eight children to support, and he had been the trustee of a charitable fund amounting to 2001., whioh he had not in any way misappropriated. The defalcations amounted to about 501. Witness most strongly recommended him to mercy, and if the court would deal leniently with him, he would ensure that at the expiration of his sen tence he should leave the country. A betting book found on the prisoner was handed up to the court for inspection. The Assistant Judge_ said this was one of the most painful cases he had ever had to deal with. It was a Most sad thing to see a man who had maintained so high a character with his masters in such a position. One of them had come forward, and with the true spirit of an Englishman, not only recommended him to mercy, but intimated that when the term of his punishment had expired, he would provide him with the means of leaving the country in order that in another clime he might redeem his lost position. Notwithstanding the great confidence that had been reposed in him, as was evidenced by the amount..of money annually passing through his hands, he had become connected with those vile betting places, and had placed his name to bills for his losses, and when he found he could not pay them, he used Money for the purpose. This was not. one_of those cases where a high character had been made the screen for systematic theft, which would have been a circumstance of aggravation, not mitigation, and under all the features of the case, and especially con sidering the recommendation and suggestion of the pro secutor, the court was disposed to deal as leniently as it possibly could with the prisoner. The prosecutor had probably saved him from a sentence of penal servitude, and the court had no doubt that at the expiration of the sentence he would carry out his promise.. He then sen tenced the prisoner to six months' hard-labour, and im pressed upon him the importance of using his utmost efforts when iri another country, to regain his former high character. (Before ➢lr. Witham.) ELLIOTT /. THE CHURCH RATE OF ST. GEORGE THE MARTYR. In the short notice of this appeal, which came before the court on Friday, there was a slight error, as to the actual poi n t on whi c h the decision was given, which should be set right. The appeal was not dismissed on the objection taken by Mr. Bodkin as stated, but the order or warrant appealed against was quashed by the court on the ground that it was not made under seal as required. Mr. Bodkin's objection was in effect over ruled, and the merits of the case were about being en tered upon when the objection as to their being no seal on the order was started and was held to be fatal, and the order quashed. The result so far therefore was in favour of the appellant, but.the main question involved in the appeal of course remains untouched. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. — Thomas Downing, a person of respectable' appearance, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having fraudulenly and by a false pretence attempted to obtain money from Mr. Fortes sue, lock manufacturer, of Cheapside. The name given by the prisoner is supposed to be fictitious. Mr. Fortescue said—About ten minutes past five o'clock on Saturday evening the prisoner called at the shop, and told me he knew an intimate friend of mine named Weston, and asked me for one of' our cards of address, as he had a country friend who wished to buy some of our locks. I gave him the card of our firm, " Hobbs, Ashley, and Fortescue," and he left the shop. In a few minutes he returned, and asked me if I could give him Mr. Weston's address. I did so, and he went away, and in about four minutes he returned, and said that Mr. Weston was not at home, that he had a bill to meet of 71. in Walbrook, but was deficient four shillings of the amount, and he asked me to let him have the loan of that sum as a friend of Mr. Weston. I told him I made it a rule not to lend money to strangers, but that he had better go and knock at Mr. Weston's door again, who I thought would be sure to be at home, and ho left me. I then saw him go into our factory, in Lawrence lane, adjoining our house, and speak to the foreman, and then he went to Mr. Weston's house in Lawrence lane, and I saw him go up the staircase, and heard some conversation between him and Mr. Weston, and I went up stairs and asked Mr. Weston if he knew the prisoner, to which the reply was, that he had never seen the man before in his life. I said I would give the prisoner in charge for endeavouring to obtain money under false pretences. The prisoner then said, "Mr. Fortescue, I beg mercy of you ; consider my position." Mr. T. S. Weston, general warehouseman, of No. 31, Lawrence -lane, Cheapside, said, Mr. Fortescue is a friend of mine. I was at my warehouse on Saturday evening at ten minutes p as t 5 o ' c l oc k.

Wilson, the vicar of Islington, a memorial in favour of holding the first cattle market of the week on Tues day, instead of Monday, as at present. The following is an extract imDm the document : " The memorialists,have long suffered grievances and annoyance from droves of cattle coming into and pass ing through the parish on the Sunday, to be in readi ness for the Monday's market, and causing obstruction and sometimes danger to the attendants of public wor ship, while other persons belonging to their own and other parishes, are, through occupations in connexion with the market, altogether shut out from any due observance of the Sabbath—a grievance which would be greatly increased when Islington would become the converging circle for all the various lines of ac cess to the new market. That this monstrous evil would be altogether obviated by a transfer of the market from Monday to Tuesday. That this very change of market day was expressly recommended by the select committee of the House of Commons in 1832, in their report on the observance of the Sabbath-day. It will appear, they reported, from the evidence, that by transferring Smithfield and other markets from Monday to Tuesday, a great part of the evil of Sunday travel ling might be abated within a circle of 120 miles around London. In the wish to promote so desirable an object, the chief coach proprietors, together with sales men of great respectability, and others connected with Smithfield market, concur. It is in evidence that this market is crowded on Monday morning very inconveni ently to buyers and sellers, and not less injuriously to the cattle, and that the Friday's market is so much less abundantly supplied, that if the other market was held on Tuesday, instead of Monday, the proportions of the supply would be better adjusted ; nor does it ap pear that any evil would result to any class of so ciety from the change of the day, certainly none that can for a moment be placed in competition with the unquestioned mischiefs which the Sunday prepara tions for the Monday market, more especially the har bouring and driving of large masses of cattle in the neighbourhood, of London on the Lord's-day unavoidably cause.' To this the memorialists add, that such un questioned mischiefs' have greatly multiplied since 1832, by the increased requirements of the metropolitan mar ket, on account of the augmented population, and would now, unless the day be changed, be all concentrated with accumulated force on Islington. They also submit that the opportunity for changing the day of late years has greatly improved, by the facilities afforded by the rail ways for bringing the cattle expeditiously to market ; and is now brought to the most favourable crisis that could be devised by the transfer of the market to the new site." The Lprd Mayor sent an answer to the application, in which he says :—" I am sensibly aware of the grie vance long felt by the inhabitants of Islington and other parts of the metropolis on this subject, and I beg to assure you that your efforts to put down so great an evil and one so painfully felt by the religious community, have my entire: approval. Any petition, therefore, embodying your views on this matter would, I am con fident, be received by the Common Council of the 'City of London with every respect and attention, and would have that weight attached to it to which it is so justly entitled." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, DEc. 19. Sir James Graham, Bart., M.P., First Lord of the Admiralty, is at Osborne to-day, and will visit the dockyard to-morrow, it is (very naturally) supposed on business with the authorities connected with the fleet. Rear-Admiral Berkeley, C. 8., M.P., visited this dockyard to-day, and had an interview with the Port- Admiral. Lieutenant Horatio Nelson Atkinson (a godson of Nelson) of the Coast Guard service, is here to-day to try the efficacy of projecting a common rocket from a ship to the shore within a certain distance. This is in contradistinction to the coast mode of endeavouring to throw a rocket line over a ship in distress near shore, for,, while the various points along shore are supplied with rocket stations and missiles for this essential ser vice, it does not appear to have been considered neces sary to have such means of safety at hand on board the ship whose crew may stand in need of them. Lieuten ant Atkinson's idea is most simple, and would save a large amount of dragging about materialsif it should be thought capable of supplying the needful aid in the hour of danger without necessitating the establishment of cumbersome and expensive gear ashore, which is likely to be found useless when suddenly required, as has been too often proved to be the case. The principle of the "notion" of Lieutenant Atkinson is briefly this :—A ship is a diminutive and difficult object to hit at sea, even when stranded, whereas the shore is widespread, and could not be missed if the range of the rocket would take it in. The Leopard, 18, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, Captain G. Giffard, was removed from the fitting basin to-day, and hauled off to the Malabar coaling depot to complete coals for further service. The Helena, 16, sailing-sloop, was brought down the harbour this morning, and placed in the_ fitting-basin ready for docking to refit. The Tyne store transport, Master-Commander Tucker, is ordered into harbour to fill up with' stores. PLYMOUTH, DEC. 19. His Sardinian Majesty's frigate Eurydice, 28, Capt. A. De Ceva, arrived here this morning, and was imme diately boarded by the Sardinian Consul, Mr. Treeby. She saluted the British flag with 21 guns, the Port. Admiral with 17, and the Consul, on his departure, with five guns. The compliment was duly acknowledged from the battery in the citadel, and from her Majesty's flagship Impregnable, in Hamoaze. •The Eurydice is 19 days from Genoa and Villafranca, and had touched at Gibraltar, since which very severe weather has been experienced. She has altogether 550 men, including a few who are going by rail to Newcastle to take charge of the steam-frigate Carlo Alberto, lately launched there for his Sardinian Majesty. From Plymouth the Eury dice proceeds in six or seven days to Boston and New York. WOOLWICH, DEC. 19. APPOINTMENTS.

On Monday last there was assembled in Newry one of the most imposing and influential meetings ever wit nessed in the Court-house of that town. It was presided over by the Marquis of Downshire. The object of the meeting was to adopt measures for the removal of Car- lingford Bar, in order to have Carlingford Lough made a harbour of refuge. The Marquis of DOWNSIIIRE said the undertaking was not only a local one, but one which the whole Irish na tion was concerned. He had formerly taken the oppor tunity of impressing on the Government of the day the Importance of the measure, but had been refused, in consequence, -as stated, of the funds at the disposal of the Government being at too• low an ebb. He only hoped that it might be more successful with the Govern ment of the present day. The merchants on the other side of the water constituting the shipping interests of London, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Chester, and he believed, also, Bristol, so highly approved of the plan that they were willing to tax themselves a farthing a ton on vessels passing up the coast. This must show the advantage of the present project over that of the harbour of Ardglass, and coming as it did from practical men, it ought, he conceived, to have great weight with the community. (Hear, hear.) A scheme had been set afloat in favour of the harbour of Ardglass. With regard to that, he would only say that Ardglass never could be more than a harbour light. (Hear, hear.) He defied any seaman, whether belonging to the Royal Navy or the mercantile marine, to gainsay that. Taking it also in juxtaposition with that most dangerous reef which ran out from St. John's Point, Ardglass was not the place in which the public money ought to be ex pended. (Hear, hear.) W3I. KIRK, Esq., M.P., said that, from the first moment he cast his eyes on the magnificent lough, he was astonished that any impediment should exist to the makinc , of it a harbour of refuge, surrounded as it was by lofty mountains, which formed a shelter not inferior to any other in the empire, and possessing an anchorage ground at the first entrance, within the lighthouse, of about three hundred acres, for vessels of any draught ; another farther up, of about one hundred acres, for yes sels,of a lesser tonnage. (Hear, hear.) It did seem strange that, from causes, whether political or otherwise, the Government of the country had not been induced, long before this, to form it into a harbour of refuge, especially as its situation was just where a harbour of re fuge was most needed, as mid-way between Dublin and Belfast. After detailing his negotiations with the Go vernment on the subject, he said when the Merchants' Shipping Bill was brought before the House of Commons, it occurred to him that the sth clause could be advan- tageously amended, so as to include the removal of Car lingford Bar. This bill united and consolidated the three authorities—the Commissioners of English, Scotch, and Irish Lighthouses—and, accordingly, when those three apthorities were about to be made the same, it be came necessary that inquiry should be made as to the actual state of the means of those respective bodies, on foot of the collection of lighthouse dues. Mr. Fox, of Longford, moved for returns, and they were laid on the table in manuscript. From these he found that the English board had about 30,000/., that the Scotch board had about 2,0001., and that they owed 14,0001., therefore that they were 12,0001. in debt ; and that the Irish board had no less a sum than 95,000/. in Government stocks of a surplus, and between 2,0001. and 3,0001. more. Now, as here was Irish money, col lected from Irish ports, he thought it ought to be ap plied to Irish purposes, and he therefore pressed it upon the Parliament and the Board of Trade that it should be so applied. The house rejected this strongly ; however, he was incessant in his applioation, and he put a notice on th 6 paper to move an amendment to the house. After three weeks' anxious watching, the Merchants' Shipping Bill at last came on. He moved his amend ment ; it was seconded ; there was a debate on the sub ject, and this was the result—Mr. Cardwell, President of the Board of Trade, and the whole power of the Government, rejected it. It was almost the only act of his public life that he regretted, as he believed he ought to have pressed the matter to a division. Afterwards, to his great surprise, when the supplemental estimates for the year 1853-4 were laid on the table at a late period of the session, he found in them the sum of 20,0001. to be laid out on the harbour at Ardglass. For this amount it was advocated that Ardglass was to be made a good harbour of refuge on the eastern coast of Ireland. He immediately enlisted all those friends with whom he had been in the habit of acting, to oppose the grant ; be cause he knew if the Government co mmence d t o make harbour of Ardglass, and to expend money on it, it would require an endless expenditure to keep it in repair ; and also, they must give up ali hopes of any improvement being made on the harbour of Carlingford. He had no idea of preventing the Government spending money on any Irish harbour for a proper purpose, but he did say that it would have been culpable in him to have suffered that grant to pass without a strenuous opposition. Mr. Kirk then went on to speak of the opposition which was instituted against the grant, and the valuable assistance rendered by Sir R. Ferguson, and Mr. Macartney, the hon. mem ber for the county of Antrim, and also by Mr. Cairns, one of the representatives of Belfast, and several others, who were all convinced of the great advantages of Car lingford as compared with Ardglass. That opposition was successful, Sir Jas. Graham being most reluctantly and unwillingly obliged to withdraw the grant. He had little doubt, if gone to in a proper spirit, the Govern ment would support them in a movement they were now making. (Hear.) Mr. Kirk concluded by moving a resolution, which set forth the necessity of removing the bar, and the advantages that would attend the pro ceedings. DEims IVIAGuIRE, Esq., briefly seconded the re. solution. • The CHAIRMAN then put to the meeting the motion, which was carried unanimously. GEORGE MAOARTNEY, Esq., M.P., moved the next resolution. It might appear strange, he said, that, as the representative of another county, in which there was one of the most enterprising towns in the kingdom of Ireland, both as to internal and national resources, he should be present, on that occasio n , the advocate of Car lingford Bar. He had, howev er , takenl the matter up in Parliament, believing that Carlingford was better fitted for a harbour of refuge than Ardglass. Under no other circumstances would he have appeared amongst them. He had been in the habit of yachting for many years along the Irish coast, and he could, therefore, speak from experience of the great dangers of Ardglass. In order to decide the merits of the two harbours it would be necessary for him to call the attention of the meeting to the evidence that had been laid before the Tidal Com missioners in the year 1846. He would read to them one simple paragraph out of the testimony of Major Beauclerc, and he would rest his case upon it. (Hear.) He said, "If the Government can get a better place than Ardglass, let them take it." Now, Ardglass only con tained thirty-seven acres, and was very badly sheltered ; and how could it be compared to Carlingford ? (Cheers.) Captain Beechy had declared that Ardglass harbour would not be worth the money it would cost to mend the pier ; it was too confined, and the water at its mouth was too deep • and the meaning of Mr. Nimmo's and Captain Vignolles' evidence was plainly that it would not be wise to lay out money on it. (Hear, hear.) The loss of property in that bay had been enormous. The Government themselves were then making five or six safety harbours under the provisions of the act that passed after the taking of the evidence to which he had referred ; and it was a well-known fact that upon Dover and other English ports no less a sum than 2,553,0001. had been expended, or would be expended, in the con struction of these works. When they looked upoa the expenditure that dad been made upon the coast of Eng land, and when they remembered what had been done in a similar manner for Ireland, had they not a right to demand a share 1 (Hear, hear, and oheers.) One harbour was a total failure, that of Howth ; and the other harbour at Kingstown was falsely called a safety harbour, for during some winds a vessel could not enter it with safety, and he had himself seen a vessel go down in it at her moorings. Of course they might point to Cork and Belfast, but those were not harbours made by men—they were naturally formed, and any improve ments that had been made in them were made at the expense of the merchants and traders. The hon. mem ber concluded by moving the following resolution : "That the Bay of Carlingford, which is midway between Belfast and Dublin, appears superior to any other place for a harbour of refuge, as it requires only the removal of the bar. Colonel CLOSE seconded the motion, • _ R. S. MOORE, Esq., M.P., said, if they referred to the report of the Harbour Commissioners, who had been sent forth to inquire into the subject by the Government, it would be found that those gentlemen had decided that a harbour of refuge upon that portion of the coast would be an incalculable boon to all mariners trading in the Irish Channel. Surely such an announcement as that, coming from a commission appointed by themselves, ought to have been sufficient to satisfy any Government. (Cheers.) But he held in his hand a document which he considered was even of greater importance than that. It was a list of all the vessels that had been wrecked or stranded from St. John's Point to Conroy Point, between the years 1833 and 1852. It appeared from that document that forty-six vessels had been driven on shore, and the cargoes of many of them lost. He regretted ta, be able to add to it a list •f four other vessels that had been totally wrecked within the same district in the months of November and December last, making altogether an aggregate of fifty vessels that had been lost within a period of twenty years. (Hear, hear.) During the seven years previous to 1831, forty six vessels were wrecked in the bay of Dundrum, and the aggregate value of these vessels was 196,000. Was it possible then, he might ask, for any man, under these circumstances, and with these documents before him, to deny the necessity of having a harbour of refuge constructed in that neighbourhood ? (Hear, hear.) It had been well put by all the previous speakers that it was not merely a local question. It was not a ques tion that affected the interests of Newry alone, for it was of great national importance and of imperial utility. But while he perfectly concurred in thinking that that was the proper and broad grounds upon which the mea sure should be rested, still the exports and imports of that port were not to be underrated. He considered that if the harbour was made, as it was probable it soon would be made, it would tend to improve the trade of every town in the north of Ireland. He did not believe that it would in any way interfere with the people of Belfast. They were too high-minded, he was certain, even to be jealous of the project, if it did not interfere with them. It was, in fact, a question which every Irish member was interested in supporting. If they succeeded in obtaining what they asked for, they would, he firmly believed, be enabled to build a harbour of refuge which would save many a valuable life, and rescue many a gal lant ship and costly cargo from the perils of the deep. The hcon, member couchnled by moping the molt:dim which contained a list of gentlemen selected as a com mittee to carry out the objects of the meeting. THOMA.S KIDD, Esq., seconded the - resolution, which was put from the chair, and unanimously adopted. TRISTRAM KENNEDY, Esq., said it was his opinion that there was no public work in Ireland more important to have effected than the establishment of a safety har bour at Carlingford* Bay by the removal of the bar, Under those circumstances he had great pleasure in moving the resolution which had been placed in his hands :—" That a memorial, accompanied by plans, sketches, and estimates, be prepared, to be laid before the Lords of the Admiralty, praying that an engineer be directed to examine and report upon the merits of the proposed project. The motion was seconded by HUGH DALZELL, Esq ., • and carried unanimously. E. G. HALLEWELL, Esq., moved the next resolution, which was to the effect that the secretaries shouhl ,be directed to furnish copies of the resolutions to the Irish members, and to solicit their support in the movement. 1). C. BRADY, Esq., seconded the motion, which was agreed to nem. con. F. FILGATE, Esq., moved a resolution to the effect that a committee be appointed to carry out the resolutions, and that a subscription list be opened to defray the necessary expenses. Great stress was laid on the circumstance that, by the refusal of the grant the expenditure of 20,0001. was pre vented in the neighbourhood of Ardglass ; but he thought he might say for the county members that it would be their duty as well as their inclination and interest, to promote any work that might be beneficial to the county; but if the grant of 20,0001. now should be used here after as a reason why no further expenditure should take place in making a safe harbour, and if it should appear, upon inquiry, that some other place would be more suitable for the purpose, then he thought their constitu ency might fairly complain that in a matter of national importance they had too hastily formed an opinion, and pledged themselves to a course of action that might prove injurious to the interests of all. The motion was seconded by T. G. HENRY, Esq., and unanimously agreed to. The thanks of the meeting were then accorded to the noble chairman, for his admirable conduct in the chair, and the proceedings terminated. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. CUSTOM HOUSE, DEC. 18.

SHOCK OF AN EARTHQUAKE IN VAN DIEMEN'S LAND. —The Hobart Town Advertiser, of Sept. 21, says—" We received the following from a correspondent :—At ten minutes before six last evening we had a severe shock of an earthquake ; the house, which is built of stone, shook severely. The tea-things were on the table at the time ; the furniture, cups, saucers, &c., all danced. Mts. Hobbs was sitting leaning against the side of the fire place, my son William was by her leaning upon the mantlepiece, his head resting on his hand. The shock was so severe to them both, they felt it long after. One of my daughters was stooping at the time, and fell on her head. I can only compare it to the rolling of heavy waggons under an archway. All passed away to the north-east." _ _ —-- - - [ADVERTISEMENT. ]---A LIEUTENANT OF DRAGOONS CUBED OF RHEUMATISM BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT *.ND PILLS.—This officer, who is in the Dutch army, states that Holloway's Pills and Ointment have cured him of rheumatism, which appeared to be incurable, as neither sea-bathing, vapour-baths, nor preparations vaunted as sure remedies, did him any good, and the treatment ipf the doctor, after several months' trial, was without suc cess. At this juncture he commenced taking these Pills and rubbing the Ointment into the complaining parts twice a day, which effectually cured him in the course of six weeks. The truth of this statement can be vouched for by Mr. J. B. Stratman, of Bois-le-Duc.—Sold by all drug gists • and at Professor Holloway's establishment , 244 , Strad, London. COUNTRY MARKETS.
