THE MARQUIS OP LONDONDER.RY.-BELP AST AND LOOB RYAN PACKET STATION.- TO THE EDITOR OF THE BELFAST NEWS-LETTER. SIB,—In consequence of a letter of mine having been published last week in your columns, relative to the late experimental trip of the "Telegraph" across the chan nel to Loch Ryan, in which communication I expressed my great satisfaction at the possible prospect of the en lightened and enterprising merchants of Belfast taking up the measure, to secure by every possible means the shortest sea voyage between the two countries, I am in duced to address you, lest I should be considered as guilty of inconsistency in abandoning all my long-known opinions, and my continued and untiring efforts, so long as there was the remotest chance of success, in advocat ing the Donaghadee and Portpatrick communication — and now, upholding by every means in my humble power the great and noble project of urging the Government of the country to turn all their attention to Belfast, Stran raer, and Loch Ryan. It will be seen, by reference to Parli am entary debates of years past, that I alone, almost unaided and unsupported, session after session, brought the measure to retain the harbours, on which near 400,0001. had been expended, before the House of Lords, until, in utter dispair, I was obliged to abandon it, and here I enclose, for your information, an extract from the last debate in June, 1849, and Lord John Russell's let ter, in which some strong statistics are put forth, which cannot be overthrown or contradicted. But, in spite of every possible effort in favour of the passage and harbour, in defiance of all scientific opinions, urged by many most able men—successive Governments, succes sive leading Ministers, successive Lords of the Admi ralty, and successive Postmasters-General, have all publicly, and frequently, and deliberately declared their decided opposition and their determination never to con cur in the restoration of that line ; and Mr, Hume in the House of Commons, loudly protested against throwing good money after bad upon most injudicious and most inefficient ports. Under such circumstances, with the positive certainty in my mind that no e ff ort rill restore the line by Portpatrick and Donaghadee, which I per severe, however, in thinking by far the most eligible, and feeling, at the same time, that the merchants and moneyed men of Belfast can well back up and carry a measure, which poor Portpatrick and Donaghadee never could arrive at, I unhesitatingly declare my opinion that all friends to the real success and accomplishment of effecting the object of the short passage and line of com munication should rally round the project, and unite in support of Loch Ryan and Belfast, with the strongest and most unanimous and general appeal to Government. My long labour in this most interesting and important object must plead my excuse for addressing you thus publicly, and as my anxious object is, as early as pos sible, to prevent a contest of conflicting opinions as to the eligibility of the one line in preference to the other, being morally certain that, from the experience demon strated, Portpatrick and Donaghadee will never be re turned to, and that the other line, if universally sup ported by Scotland and the North of Ir e l an d, an d t h e town of Belfast, might be speedily carried into effect. If the contending writers in the press would all exer cise the power of their pens to influence that great, powerful, and leading journal of England (the Times) to take up this affair (it has already been alluded to in it), satisfied as I am that, in these days, that paper influences the country, the Government, the popular and the offi cial opinions of the English nation, I think it would be the surest way of demonstrating and proclaiming the real merits and sterling advantages of the scheme. I remain, Sir, your very obedient servant, VANE LONDONDERRY. POST-OFFICE PACKET COMMUNICATION BETWEEN SCOT LAND AND IRELAND. " The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said—My lords, I experience considerable reluctance, and I must throw myself on your lordship's indulgence for bringing be fore you again a subject which I have more than once submitted to the House ; I am influenced, however, solely by an anxious desire to do a public service—to prevent the ruin of a large number of Irish and Scotch industrious persons—to uphold the shortest communica tion between the South-West of Scotland and Ire land—and to prevent the false economy of a miserable saving with the abandonment of public advantages. I am aware, my lords, that I stand on very weak ground in advocating the matters of the petition I am about to present to your lordships. Independently of my very humble abilities, I belong to neith er o f the grea t par ties in this House. I am cer t a i n l y not afa vourite with the noble lords over against me, and I can not rank myself amongst the household troops of the able and talented leader of _the Conservative party in the House. I f ee l I can obtain no aid but from an honest examination of this case on its own merits. It will not be necessary for me to go very much at large into the subject. a general printed outline of the case has been sent, I hear, by the :petitioners, to every peer. The question resolves itself under three heads : — First, the advantages and convenience of the best and shortest passage for postal communication and passen gers between the South-West of Scotland and the North of Ireland ; secondly, the prudence and wisdom, after an expenditure of nearly 400,0001., annually added to for the last half century, of abandoning the harbours constructed, for a saving of money immaterial in the amount, and evidently detrimental to a large class of her Majesty's subjects, who have been led to place confidence in the preservation of these harbours, and consequently to locate there and in the vicinity. Thirdly, whether the economy expected from the change in contemplation amounts to such an advan tage as entirely to put an end to the various advantages derivable now from the present trade of the harbours. I certainly had hoped, as well as the petitioners, whose cause I advocate, that upon a deputation to the Prime Minister, he would not so suddenly, without notice, and against promises held out and made, and contrary to all precedent, force this cruel measure upon an impoverished population, and deprive Scotland and Ireland of the ad vantages derived more or less in a series of years from these ports, without the most serious reflection and ex amination. With this view, after the noble marquis (the Marquis of Lonsdowne) opposite had intimated to me the intention of the Government to abandon the har bours, a large deputation waited on Lord John Russell. What passed has been in substance stated in all the public papers. Lord J. Russell desired some time to con sider the matter before he gave his final opinion, and on Friday I received the answer which I will now take leave to read to the house : " Chesham Place, June 22, 1849. " LORD,- - Upon consideration of the memorials re specting the mail communication from Portpatrick to Donaghadee, the Government have come to the decision to abandon the postal route between those places. " The harbours will be attended to by the Admiralty, but it is not thought advisable to continue the expense of the packets when the service can be more cheaply provided for. " I have the honour to be your lordship's obedient humble servant, " J. RUSSELL.' Your lordships will see by this that the postal commu nication is abandoned ; but Lord John Russell states that the harbours will be attended to. What advan tages or saving of public money will or can arise if the packets of the Post-office are to be taken away, or in what manner the harb ours are to b e attended to, Lord John Russell is entirely silent and does not oint out. I should be very glad if I cou l d extract such a com munication from her Majesty's Government as would justify me, in point of duty to the petitioners, in aban doning my motion. But it is declared it is not thought advisable to continue the expense of the packets. How the Queen's subjects are in future to c ross . without packets, or the harbours to be made available, or what saving is to ensue, appears to ins more than ever neces sary to ascertain by a searching Parliamentary i nqu e. y. Now, in regard to the first consideration of this subject, l no one will deny that the shortest communication —o£ eighteen miles between land and land—if not the very best that could have been originally devised, now exists; it has stood the test of more than half a century. Various reports, from time to time, by both Houses of Parliament, have been made upon it. The majority of these, together with the reports of a large number of officers and scientific professional civil engineers, as also many different First Lords of the Admiralty—Lords Iladdington and Auckland, especially, in this House— also, many eminent admirals, such as Admiral Sir G. Cockburn and Admiral Beaufort—have one and all declared in favour of these harbours, It is true, how ever, that a noble earl (the Earl of Ellenborough), for a short time First Lord of the Admiralty, fired a random shot at my humble efforts the other evening to serve a district he was once acquainted with. W hether that was kindly done, or in taste, the noble earl knows best ; possibly other circumstances than the mere harbours in some thirty or forty years have influenced his judgment. He stated, however, he was once nearly lost in a storm going into Portpatrick : but, allow me to remark, that was certainly nearly half a century ago. Has the noble earl any knowledge or insight of all that has been done, and all the moneys laid out since ; and what the present state of the harbours now are ? If he has not tmaintain his testimony goes for nothing ; and cer __ainly, if my memory serves me correctly, I should not be disposed to give the noble earl credit for great knowledge either on military or naval sub jects, for Ju n I.kaliehrZnk, in a celebrated speech in May or de feat at prophesied the Duke of Wellington's de- Passing, then, this single opinion of one Filet Lord o iif the Admiralty, Lord Auckland, by letter, not mll measures himself in the harbours, but positivel station thi l s Y toeLreasures to place a steam-boat on the This I have under his own hand writing. years, the packets, eiebserve that, during the last ten the very worst weather, have never missed their passage Passage, great has been the con venienceort time ago, Lord Clanri carde sent round a circular de- the public to cut slits in their hall-doors(laughterBllring enable the postman to drop their letters withceit—ciolamrrdeunicating with the 114.0 for him to expect servants. Why, it was rather res ( e L n a t ug eo h n te tti r..) people to cut slits in mahogany That was very much of a piece with lr s p . Government Twice. It was to be hoped, however, would see the justice of granting a committee They could not possibly adopt this change without ?f h i o n a ni a r n Y; documentary or other evidence. He (Lord Londonderry) had to complain, too, that he had not received answer to the petitions which he had requested Lord an John Russell to forward to her Majesty through the Secretary of State ; but he hoped an answer would be sent, for he could tell the Government and the noble marquis that the people of Ireland regarded with the greatest loyalty, attachment, and reverence, anything h coming from her Majesty e self. (Hear, hear.) They did not pay so much regard, perhaps, to what emanated from the Government. The people of Ireland had looked to her Majesty's great libe rality in all their sad distress, never more fully ex emplified than in her late donation of 5001., and he could tell the Government that, if they would only advise her to place her foot on her "Emerald Isle," such would be the joy with which she would be received, that the rest of her dominions would, for a time at least, be forgotten. (A laugh.) If her Majesty once condescended to place ~ u her step on that shore, it would be the happiest day Ire land ever saw. Those little knew the loyalty of the people who thought any act of Government would de tract from it. But every successive Government had put at a distance that happy hour. First, they had O'Connell's monster meetings as a reason against it— another year a visit was impossible on account of the clubs—next year there was the general distress. He begged pardon for adverting to this subject, but it was one which he had had long at heart, particularly as he felt satisfied there would be a feeling of slight in Ireland till her Majesty had visited that part of her dominions. The noble marquis concluded by moving—" That a select committee be appointed to inquire and examine into the expediency and advantage of removing the post office packet station and communication between the south-west of Scotland and the north of Ireland ; and to ascertain the public grounds upon which the safe sea passage of 18 miles between the harbours of Portpat rick and Donaghadee is to be now abandoned, and those harbours, which have cost the country nearly 400,0001., consequently ruined, in order, for the sake of a trifling saving, to substitute a long sea voyage of 90 miles from Greenock to Belfast, which is now the object proposed by her Majesty's Government; and to report thereon to the house.' After a few observations from the Marquis of Clanri carde and the Earl of Galloway, "The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, that in the then thin state of the House, he was not disposed to push the motion to a division, because he believed, if he did, the Government would carry the question against him, but he begged to give notice that, on a future day he would move an address to her Majesty on the subject, and that he would previously move for copies of all communica tions that had passed between the parties contracting and the Postmaster -General relative to this change ; and also for copies of all the contracts that had been made. In the meantime, he begged to withdraw the motion he had made. " Motion and proposed amendment, by leave, with drawn." COURT OF BANKRUPTCY-(THIS DA Y). (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) IN RE BROOK.

BOW-STREET.—Mrs. and Miss Marshall, of Percy street, Bedford-square, were summoned by two cabmen for paying them less than their legal fare. The defendants in these cases were the popular actress of the Strand Theatre and her mother, and the question being one of distance, they had agreed to have the ground measured. The first complainant's cab was called off the stand in Tottenham-court-road on Satur day evening, and the defendants were taken up at their residence ; but the second was engaged on the previous Friday evening, at the corner of the street. The fare paid on both occasions was is., including 6d. for a third passenger ; but it turned out, on measurement, that the distance between Mrs. Marshall's door and the stage door of the Strand Theatre exceeded a mile by a few yards, while the distance from the stand was about as many yards within the mile. Miss Marshall complained that she was exposed to considerable annoyance, and sometimes to serious incon venience, from the difficulty of getting a cab on the rank in question. Her professional duties often took her to the theatre two or three times in the course of ,the day, but the whole of the cabmen had apparently conspired to avoid her. Whenever she made her appearance at the stand, the men began brushing up their cabs or po lishing their harness, or falling suddenly asleep, while the waterman was sure to disappear altogether. How ever urgent her business might be, they continued deaf and blind to her appeal as long as possible, and when at length one of them was compelled to take her, he would proceed as slowly over the ground l as he could, purposely to vex her. Instead of inducing her to pay more than the legal fare, which she had often done, it had driven her to the resolution never to do it again. Both the cabmen declared that they "took up " at the lady's door, but the defendants proved that this happened on only one of the two nights—" the thunder and lightning night " (Saturday). The waterman was examined upon this point, but his evidence was deemed unsatisfactory. _ _ Mr. Jardine said there was certainly something very like collusion in this matter. The cabman who drove the ladies on Saturday applied for his summons the next available day (Monday), and it was not until after this summons was granted that the other cabman, on the fol lowing day, applied for his summons, although his case occurred on the preceding Friday. It turned out that the defendants were right in his case and wrong in the other ; so that Mrs. Marshall would have to pay the 6d. and casts in the latter, and half the fee for measure ment ; bearing in mind in future that the mile distance terminated at corner of her street. SOUTHWARK.—Wm. Gale, a dirty-looking fellow, well known as a Buck at various cab stands, was brought before Mr. Combe, charged with stealing a horse-cloth from a cab horse in George-street, Bermond seyJ. ames Brown, the driver of the cab, said, yesterday afternoon he unfortunately had an accident to his cab in George-street, Bermondsey, and while in the act of removing it to a blacksmith's near the spot, his horse cloth was stolen off the seat of the vehicle. The pri soner had been near the place previous to his missing it, and he received information that he bad stolen it, consequently he went in search of him and gave him into custody. A flad employed at a warehouse in Bermondsey said, he stood looking at the broken cab, and while last wit ness was removing it he saw the prisoner go up in a clandestine manner and remove the horse-cloth, with which he ran away. He went and told the cab driver a little while afterwards. The prisoner denied being near the spot, or having any knowledge of the horse-cloth. Mr. Combe remanded him until Friday. Mrs. Ca herine Pelham, the mistress of an infant school in the Southwark-bridge-road, was summoned for committing a violent and unnecessary assault upon William Kitchen, a child about seven years of age. , The child was educated at Mrs. Emmerson s Infant Charity School, and on Tuesday afternoon last, the 11th inst., ran home to its parents with the right side of his face striped with bruises, telling them that the defen dant had inflicted them without any necessary cause. The defendant acknowledged that she had done so, but it was accidental. The facts were these : The child stole two apples from a cart, and brought them into the school. She chided him for doing so, and by some means he bit her linger. She suddenly slapped his face, but had no intention of inflicting any bruises. She produced a letter from the Rev. Mr. Bensom, who is trustee of the school, in which he writes that her story was probable, and that she was a good tempered mistress. Mr. Combo said from that letter it was evident that the clergyman did not know the facts, as it was clear she had imposed upon him by ber story. When the child attended before him last week to make the com plaint the bruises were quite black on the face, and they must have been inflicted by more than one blow, and very heavy. Even if it was a fact that the child bit her finger suddenly it clearly showed that she lost her temper, and it was a question whether she was a proper woman to have the charge of young children. He thought it would be better to adjourn the case for the attendance of the Rev. Mr. Bensom, so that he might understand the facts. The defendant's husband here stepped forward, and said he did not want Mr. Bensom to attend. He did not believe that he would if required. Mr. Combe said he should fine her 20s. and costs, as he considered it a very brutal assault. The money was paid, and the defendant and her hus band left the court. ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.—The Galway Vindicat or of Saturday says :—" The barque Clarence yet remains in the Roads, wind-bound. She carries over a hundred emigrant passengers for New York. On Thursday, a remarkable and interesting, scene took place on board, which is worth recording. It appears that a young man and woman, of the peasant order, had for some time past entertained a tender feeling for each other. Both are represented as being fine specimens of the class to which they belonged—the woman comely, and the man tall and athletic. Some family circumstances having forbid their union, an elopement took place. But the elopement only reached the lengths of the pair going to a friend's house at some distance, where the bride, that was to be, was given in charge to the wife of the young man's friend. It subsequently turned out that the seemingly fickle swain refused to marry the girl, owing to the persuasions of his relations; and her friends, indignant at the slight cast upon her. fitted her out for a higher matrimonial market across the Atlantic. Her passage was paid for New York, her luggage on board, the vessel only waiting for favourable breeze, and the comely lass herself thario.ngG l'ad , _ taken leave of her friends, and was sitting taking tearful o n the deck of the emigrant ship, when again came over the spirit of the gallant Lo a Groups were clustered at the side of the vessel, soon neared the si ngl e behold, when of the shores they might never containinga al!enia small boat was seen approaching, was over, she was clasped young passenger and the oarsman.

The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of the Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received through the Secretary of State foi Foreign Affairs, a copy of a dispatch from her Majesty's Consul-General at Ham burgh, enclosing a Notification issued by the Oldenburg Government, a translation of which is subjoined, relative to two new beacons which have been erected on the Island of Wangerooge, with the view of facilitating the naviga ' "on of vessels entering the River Weser. (By order) JAMES BOOTH. (Copy.) (Translation.) NOTIFICATION. It is hereby made known for the information of the seafaring people, that for the more easily making the Weser Schliissel buoy, marking the entrance to the Weser, two beacons have been erected on the north-west side of the island of Wangerooge. These beacons stand on two of the highest downs of the islands, at a distance from each other of 750 feet in the direction N.E. s E. and S.W. a W., and both are in a straight direct line with the Weser Schlussel buoy. The south-western beacon, crowned with a 14 feet square head, stands 54 feet high, the north-eastern beacon stands 50 feet high, and has a round head of 14 feet in diameter. Vessels coming from the westward and intending to make the first Weser Schlussel buoy, upon having properly neared the island of Wangerooge, must continue their easterly course until both beacons appear in a direct line, in S.W. : a W., as per compass, and so that the south western is covered by the north-eastern beacon, and in fathoms of low water they will see the first Weser Schlus sel buoy ; or, if it should be drifted away, they will be, according to the above directions, close upon the position of the said buoy.

ON A CANAL.—About half-past 6 o'clock on Saturday morning an embankment of the Manchester, Bolton, and Bury Canal, near the Pres tolee-locks, a few miles from Bolton, gave way, and nearly 30 yards' length of earthwork was carried away. The canal runs along the side of a hill at the point where it burst, and about twenty yards below it is the river Irwell. The rush of water through the crevasse was on a grand scale for a time, and formed as magnificent a waterfall as could be desired ; but fortunately the channel of the river below was of ample capacity to receive it, without any overflow resulting to injure adjacent property, or place human life in danger. Two empty coal boats were near, and were carried through the opening into the river, but a boy having charge of them had the presence of mind to leap out upon one of the banks, and he probably thus saved his life, as the boats were dashed to pieces. The late heavy rains are supposed to have been the immediate cause of the accident, but a subsidence of substrata, in conse quence of coal-workings underneath, is supposed to have previously weakened the embankment. The canal is the property of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company, and the traffic is almost wholly one of coal. They have employed a large body of men to repair the canal, and, as their railway runs nearly parallel with the canal almost throughout its entire length, they have it in their power to prevent much inconvenience to the public through the accident, LADVERTISEDIENT.]—DA RIC DAYS AND LONG NIGHTS.—The necessity of having the most perfect eye sight and hearing, and bright and brilliant spectacles.

The valuable advantage derived from this inven tion over the spectacles now in common use is, that in stead of vision becoming strained, heated, weakened, and in numerous cases seriously injured, it is preserved and strengthened ; and very aged persons are enabled to em ploy their sight at the most minute occupation ; can see with those lenses of a much less magnifying power ; and, that which is a matter of the greatest consequence is, they do not require the frequent changes to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. - The Royal Exhibition. -—A valuable, newly-invented, very small powerful waist coat-pocket glass, the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen and known one mile and a half distant ; they answer every purpose on the race-course, at the opera-houses, country scenery, and ships are clearly seen at 12 to 14 iles.

To Mr. Lawson humanity is indebted for the complete exposure of the barbarisms practised in the gaol ; but for his manly spirit and independence they might have gone on for some time longer in secret and unchecked. Lawson is a poor man, he has sacrificed his place and all other personal considerations. If ever recompence was merited he deserves it, and it is satisfactory to know that a testimonial of a more substantial character than that just rendered is contemplated. FRENCH V. THE VICTORIA DOCK COMPANY.--An inquiry before the Sheriff of Kent and a special jury, to assess the amount of compensation to be paid to the claimant for sixty-seven acres of marsh land, required for the purposes of constructing the large docks to be called the Victoria Docks, was concluded on Saturday evening. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., and Mr. Hawkins appeared for the claimant, and the Attorney-General and Mr. Bovill represented the company. The case occupied two days. The point in contest chiefly was whether the land was to be paid for as agricultural land only, or as building ground. Upon the part of the claimant it was valued at 22,0001. and 26,0001 ., and by those who valued for the company at 9,090/. The jury retired for some time, and gave a verdict for 16,000/.
