After this, who shall say that secrecy in matters of such general public concern is the best policy ? if the Bank Directors had yielded some time ago to the wish of the public by furnishing information on a subject in which they had such a direct interest, the pre sent depreciation would have been avoided. We are willing to admit that the Directors found themselves in a very awkward dilemma, and were really at a loss how to get out of it. But had they no apprehension of some such consequence as the present, when disclosures must of neces sity be made by the agitation of the renewal of the Charter ? We can now readily account for their hesitation in coming to book, and their anxiety to hush up investigation. But honesty Is the best policy, and timely publicity would have been their best course. In the French Papers of Saturday, we find it hinted that the Chambers are likely to meet earlier than was anticipated. This expectation is founded on a report that the Ministers are busily engaged in preparing the new budget. If th e French Chambers meet soon, the question of the Frankfort Edicts is likely to occupy their attention, and that in a manner not very satis factory to those Powers who originated the ob noxious proscription against the Liberty of the Press and the freedom of the people. It appears by the accounts from Vienna that a desperate attempt was made by a Captain to assassinate the King of HUNGAIII, which for tunately failed. A very great eruption took place from Vesu vius on the 29th ult., but no loss of life ensued. The cholera was rather worse at Paris, though the weather was cooler than usual. The Brussels Papers announce the arrival of the KING, accompanied by his bride, at the Palace of Lacken, on the evening of the 16th. The public entry into Brussels was to have taken place yesterday. All the accounts concur in stating that LEOPOLD is now determined in bringing the question of peace or war to a speedy termination. The free navigation of the Scheldt seems to be the chief point at issue, and it is one in which the commercial interest of England is deeply concerned. Dutch papers of Saturday's date have been received this afternoon. The preparations for war still continue, though an amicable settlement of the questions at issue is anticipated. We find in these papers the answer of our KING to an address of the States of Hanover, on occasion of the late attack on his sacred per- Son by COLLINS, who is this day on his trial for the offence. We should have been better pleased if his MAJESTY'S answer were accompanied by au order for the repeal of the late ordinance respectin g the Frankfort decrees against the liberty of the Press. Such a mark of respect would have been the more welcome to his Hanoverian subjects, as remon strated against th e publication of the were decidedly oppo se d to its • • they decree, aiid pern ic ious tendency. THE HAGUE, AUU. 16.—The 'Magistrates have caused a warning against th e eat i ng of unripe, and moderate rat ting of ripe fruits, to be proclaimed in various parts of the town by the public crier. Last Tuesday the Supreme Court of Justice tried the cause of the pamphlet Van du Vin, and smtenced K. H. W. Apeker, the printer of this immoral pamphlet, to one year's imprisonment, a fine of 236 florins, an d t h e costs of the pamphlets are confiscated. His Majesty's corvette Triton arrived last Friday at Flushing, with a considerable number of seamen for the fleet in the Scheldt. Auc. 17.—We have received Java papers from the 29th of March to the 21st of April, but they contain no news of any importance. BREDA, AUGUST 13.--Nu arrangement has been made about the positions of the Belgian troops about Maestrecht. General Pc.blets sent word to General Magnan that unless the villages of Hear and Scharr were immediately eva cuated, he would order them to be occupied by force, on which the Belgians retired. Bors•LF.-Duce, AUGUST I 6 . —Notwithstanding the pacific reports, the preparations for war are not neglected, and a large quantity of ball cartridges has lately arrived here from Holland. P r i vate accounts say, t h at the Bel gian garrison of Vet]loo has been lately reinforced. AMSTERDAM, AUG. 1 7 .

HANOVER, At-G. 10.—His Royal Highness the Viceroy yesterday addressed the following to the Assembly of the States of the kingdom :—" I have transmitted to his Ma jesty the King the address of the General Assembly of the Estates of the kingdom, on occasion of the deplorable attack on his Majesty's sacred person. The King has been pleased to make an answer which I, conformably to his directions, with the more pleasure transmit to the estates, as it gives me an opportunity of repeating the as surance of my good will." The following is the King's answer "William the Fourth, &c.—We have received with lively pleasure the address which the General Assembly of the estates resolved to send to us as soon as they were informed of the attack upon our person, and which, having been presented by a numerous deputation to our beloved brother the Viceroy, has been laid before us by his Royal Highness. The sentiments of affection and devoted at tachment which our faithful estates desire to express to us on an occasion when our life might be in danger, could not but be received by us with time most lively emo tions and the most sensible gratitude. " We readily reply to it by the assurance, that we enter tain a perfect confidence that our faithful States will con tinue to be inclined and zealous to promote our intentions, which are continually devoted to the welfare of onr beloved and faithful Hanoverian subjects, duly appreciating the same, and seconding them with true patriotic zeal, and with that calmness and consideration by which alone the true interests of the country can be best promoted. " We remain, " WILLIAM REX. " Q. V. OMPTEDA. " Windsor Castle, July 28, 1832." The Spectator of yesterday contains a state- ment in one of its leading articles so calculated to mislead a large body of persons, that we think it right at once to notice it. The statement is, that lodgers are, by the Reform Act, admitted into the constituency. The only clause of the Act which can afford the Spectator a shadow of a pretence for such an assertion, is the twenty-ninth, which runs thus—" That where any premises as aforesaid in any such city or bo rough, or in any place sharing in the election therewith, shall be jointly occupied by more persons than one, as owners or tenants, each of such joint occupiers shall, &c. be entitled to vote, &c. in case the clear yearly value of such premises shall be of an amount which, when di vided by the number of such occupiers, shall give a sum of not less than ter,pounds for each and every such occupier, but not otherwise." We grant to our contemporary that it may be very possible some lodgers will, under this clause, set up a claim for registration ; indeed, we know that some have; but that a Paper conducted with the ability with which the Spectator undoubtedly is, should fall into such an error, is surprising. The wishes of the writer must have blinded his judgment, or he would have seen that the clause requires the party not only to be a joint occupier, which a lodger undoubtedly is, but a joint oc cupier, " as owner or tenant," which a lodger undoubtedly is not. We would refer such of our readers as may feel disposed to adopt the Spectator's construction of the clause to the case of Fludier v. Sir T. Lombe. Cases temp. Hard. 307. As a general rule it may be well in the public to receive with great caution any construction of the Reform Act, unsupported by proof, of any strong partizan, whose wishes may be "father to his thought." We refer to another part of The Sun for particulars of a very interesting meeting in favour of the Poles, that took place on Thurs day last at Leeds. Count PLATER, one of the bravest and most illustrious among that little band of Polish patriots, who for so many months withstood the onslaughts of DIEBITSCII and his Russian brigands, attended at this meeting, and entered into details of the sufferings of his countrymen, which it sickens the heart but to think of. " Will you believe, gentlemen," said the Count, " that at this very moment, many thousand citizens are sent, in the most atro cious way, attached to a bar of iron, on foot, on their way to Siberia—that infants are torn from their parents, and sent by thousands, boys to the Military Schools, and girls to the manufac tories, in the interior of Russia, where they lose for ever their nationality—that even the women are sent to Siberia—that many mothers, in their despair, have plunged the dagger into their infants' breasts, and have with the same dagger killed themselves—that those unheard. of cruelties are perpetrated without any conside ration for age, for sex, or the rank of the in habitants—that great numbers of this unfor tunate people die on their way in consequenc e of the most barbarous treatment—that Poland in a very short time will be peopled by the Russians, and Siberia by the Poles—that the language, religion, civilization, are de stroyed, many of the churches in ruins, many occupied by the Russian priests—the universi ties and the schools abolished—military tribu nals established—all fortunes confiscated, and Polish villages peopled by the Russian peasantry, committing the most atrocious enormities—that by Russia❑ intrigues the greatest part of the Polish army, who had taken refuge in Prussia, was, after many murders, compelled to return to Poland, and then sent to Siberia, or compelled to be common soldiers in the Russian regiments for all their lives.—(Shame, shame.) This is the wretched state of Poland, perishing under the despotism of Russia." Mr. E. BAINES, Jun. afterwards gave a brief but most impressive sketch of the exertions and sufferings of the Countess EMILY PLATER, " a young, unmar ried lady, of beauty, wealth, and accomplish ments," who died during the last Polish insur rection, " on a pallet, in a rude hut of a frontier village of Lithuania," but not until she had won for herself a name in history, such as few women even in the most heroic ages of Greece and Rome, can aspire to. How deplorable must be the condition of a country, how intolerable the despotism exercised over it, where incidents like this are of frequent occurrence ! How deep must the shaft be drivel► into the heart of Poland, when even her women, by nature shy, timid, and withdrawn by taste and habit from politics, feel it transfix their souls in the depths of retire ment ! The tyranny must indeed have been galling, the load insupportable, that compelled a gentle, discreet, virtuous, high-born young Po lish lady, nurst in the lap of luxury, and devoted from earliest childhood to those feminine accom plishments which in nine cases out of ten teach refinement to the detriment of energy, to forego her favourite pursuits, waive the privilege of her sex, buckle on her armour, and sally forth into the field at the head of a band of retainers, among whom she herself shot] the bravest and most conspicuous. The tyranny that affects such changes as these, that bids woman exchange the distaff for the spear, the fan for the sword, the cap for the helmet, is one at which humanity shrinks aghast, and which all Europe is equally interested in putting down. The Leeds meeting, whose example we trust to see followed by every other town in the kingdom, wisely resolved on an address to the KING (of England, we mean not Hanover, for an address to the latter Monarch would be a joke as ridiculous as any that floats on the unctuous face of LisToN), praying him to inter pose the influence of the British Government with the Emperor of RUSSIA in behalf of the oppressed Poles. Such an interposition, if made in a proper spirit, with more of a frown than a smile, as best becomes a Liberal Cabinet when advocating the rights of humanity at the Court of a foreign despot, cannot but be suc. cessful. Let but the British Lion roar, and the Russian Bear will soon become gentle as an unweaned lamb. The German papers received this morning are chiefly occupied with an account of the murderous attempt on the life of the Crown Prince of Austria VIENNA, AUG. S.—We learn that the cause which in duced the murderer whom we mentioned yesterday to commit his desperate act, was the bad state of his circum stances, and the prospect of seeing himself and his family shortly reduced to beggary. He had in vain tried the lottery, and as a heavy bill was due on the day he com mitted his crime, he thought that there, was no way to save his family from disgrace but that which he adopted. All this appears from a letter which he has left. his body is to be carried to the place of execution and inter red under the gallows. FRONTIERS oi• SERVIA, Aug. 2.—Private letters from Constantinople of July 19, indicate that there is most desperate fighting in Syria ; it is stated that on the 27th and 30th of June, and 3,1 of July, there were very serious engagements, all to the disadvantage of the Sultan's troops, and that the Pada is in a great consternation. We im patiently expect the next post from Constantinople, which must either confirm or contradict these accounts. (From the Milan Gazette.) ANCONA, JULY 20.—0 n the 20th July, Vonozza was surrendered on capitulation by Colonel Pisa to the Go vernment at Napoli. The latter, however, is stated to have since dissolved itself, and a national assembly is orga nizing to establish a provisional Government in the name of Prince Otho. Greva with his people burnt the archives of the Senate at Napoli, and plundered several houses, on the pretext of getting money to pay his troops. Nothing but the speedy arrival of the new Sovereign can secure Greece from the horrors of anarchy. All the corps are at variance with each other. The pirates are be coming more.numerous. Hydra and Spezzia are at open war with each other.—Allgemeine Zeitung, Aug. 13. VIENNA, AUG. 9.—1 must again be a messenger of frightful news. News has just been received from Baden, near Vienna, wherein the Imperial Family has been for a short time, that his Majesty the young King of Bavaria has just escaped, as if by miracle, a danger that threatened his life. As he was walking this morning, early, in the beautiful valley called Hellenanthas, accompanied by an Aid-de-Camp, a person passing close behind the Prince drew a pistol from his pocket and discharged it at him. Though he was but a few steps distance, Providence di rected the ball so that it but slightly grazed his Majesty's shoulder. The Aid-de-Camp instantly turned round and seized the perpetrator, who made no resistance whatever. lle is a Ciptain in the Imperial service, and has a pen tion. The cause of this crime must appear from investiga. tion; at present insanity seems to be the ground of it. The report of the circumstance spread in Baden like wildfire, and the impression which it:produced afforded a just proof of the entire attachment of the Austrian people to the Im perial family ; only the military escort could save the cri minal from the fury of the people, who wanted to take vengeance on the spot. The indignation of the people of Vienna at this detestable crime is equally great.— Allgenteine Zeitung, 14th Aug. BERLIN, AUG. 9.—We learn from Breslau that the first Burgomaster, Baron Von Kospoth, suddenly fell victim to the Asiatic cholera on the night of the 4th inst. The proceedings against Professor Weleker in Berne will not he persisted in. FRANKFORT, AUG. 12.—The resolutions of the German Diet of 20th June were officially promulgated at Bruns wick on the 9th of August by a rescript, dated July 31. The Gazette of Hesse Damstadt of the 10th inst. also promulgates those resolutions, " which," adds the official notice, "do not in any manner violate the Con stitution of the Grand Dutchy."—Frankfort Papers, Aug. 13. LOCAL BOARDS OF HEALTH. Applications being Lily made to the Treasury Council requesting information as to the proper mode of forming Parochial Boards of Health, the following instructions have been issued upon that subject : " Council-office, Whitehall, Aug. 18. " INSTRUCTIONS FOR FORMING LOCAL BOARDS OF HEALTH IN CITIES, TOWNS, AND PARISHES OF GREAT BRITAIN AND WALES. " When a community supporting its own poor shall be desirous of establishing a Board of Health for its loca lity, the regular mode of attaining that object will be to convene a public meeting of rate-payers for the purpose of nominating the members. " These . members should consist of one or more resident Magistrates, of the clergymen, the parochial authorities (and where the parishes are incorporated, of a portion of the Governors and Directors of the Poor), with a certain number of substantial householders, one or more medical practitioners, and an efficient secretary. " A list of the persons chosen should be transmitted to this office under cover, to the Clerk of the Council in waiting, for the purpose of being constituted a legal Board of Health by an order of the Lords of the Council. " We conceive it to be highly desirable that the widest possible circulation should be given to the above instruc tions through the provincial press, as their being generally known will save much valuable time and correspondence.' TIIE HARVEST.—Never was finer harvest weather; for, hitheato, the occasional showers have been to " few and far between," that they have operated be neficially, in quickening the labours of the harvest folk, without being injurious to the crops, or retarding the operations in the corn field. All the accounts concur i❑ the particular that the ear will yield most abundantly, and the quality of the wheat be excellent. However, to-day, we have had a good deal of rain, and the weather appears unsettled. —Hereford Times. HOPS.—We cannot speak very favourably of the appearance of our hop yards. Generally, they are a failure, but, partially, the crops will approach the average of a number of years. BATTLE OF WIGAN -LANE.—In cutting down a number of old oaks in Wigan-lane, a few days ago, a number of balls were found embedded in the wood. They had probably been there ever since the battle between CaomwELL's troops and the Eatl of DERBY, in the great civil wars.—Liverpool Chronicle. SHEERNESS AND CHATHANI DOCK-YARDS. —Mr. SKILLER, a foreman in Chatham Dock-yard, has been directed by the Board of Admiralty to proceed to Sheerness with two gangs of shipwrights, for the purpose of minutely examining all the ship s suppose d to b e i n a sea going condition, now lying at th at port, and to ma k e a report thereon' to the Admiralty. It is supposed that not a few of them, from the length of time s i nce th e y were built or repaired, will require considerable expense to re store them to an efficient state. It it reported that a large reduction of the number of artificers in Chatham Dock-yard has been contemplated. We trust that em ployment will be found for those discharged from Chatham at Sheerness... —Kentish Gazette. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) UNSTAMPED PUBLICATIONS John Gallagher, a wretched looking being, was charged by George Collier, an Inspector of Stamps, with selling unstamped publications. . . Collier found the defendant hawking the Poor Man's Guardian, one of which he purchased for a penny, and then took him into custody. The defendant told him that he had only this morning come out of Tothill-field• Bride well, to which place he had been committed for ten days for begging, and that with the sixpence which the gaoler had given him on liberating him he had purchased the publications. The defendant wanted to do something for a living, and had even better be sent to gaol for this offence than do what was worse. A person present said that the defendant told him that a gentleman Whom he met in the streets had advised him to buy the publications. The MAGISTRATE thought that was extremely probable, but it was little to the credit of any individual to work on the necessities of poor persons, and persuade them to offend against the laws. The defendant was then committed for 14 days. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, T WEL VE 0' CLOCK. Charlestown Papers to the 20th July, Hobart Town to the 15th April, and Port-au Prince to the 2d April, have been received at the North and South American Coffee house. The Charlestown Papers state, that the Israelites in Ca nada have been resisted in their efforts to obtain equal rights ; and as often as they were elected Members of the Provincial Parliament, they were expelled their seats on account of their religion, but the British Parliament have at length passed an Act confirming them in their rights. From the Hobart Town Papers we are happy to learn that a branch of the Van Dietnen's Land Bank is about to he established in Launceston, a measure long anxiously desired. The price of Colonial produce remains the same as last week ; wheat maintains its average from ss. 3d. to ss. 6d. a bushel. The dry weather being favourable to the taking up of potatoes, we have a plentiful supply. The flour exported to Swan River by the Eagle did not sell for more than 9d. per pound, not being of the best quality. _ . The Port-au-Prince Papers are entirely destitute of information. 'The French mail this morning does not bring any poli tical news of consequence. THE FUNDS. Our arrivals this morning are again of a very scanty description, and few in number. The only point worth noticing by the estafette this day is an attempt to assassinate the King of Hungary. Although the wind has been favourable for arrivals from Portugal, we are without any to the present time, by which it is supposed thati nothing of great importance has taken place in that quarter. The state of the Bank concerns still occupies the chief attention of the public this morning, and Bank Stock has again receded; 5,000 has been done at 190, and it is expected it will experience a further fall, owing to an idea that the Bank Directors will be obliged to reduce the in terest on Bank Stock. Console, which left off on Saturday, at 831 k for the Account, opened at 831 buyers, since which they have been done at 834 ; at present they are 838- 4. This de cline is entirely attributed to the state of the Bank. Lip to the present hour we have no political reports. I❑ the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet. HALF-PAST ONE. Favourable accounts from the Swan River, by the Eagle, arrived at Hobart Town :—Several excellent crops of wheat had been reaped by the settlers in January, af fording them a most seasonable supply, they being before that reduced to the most distressing strait for provisions. His Excellency, the Governor, had dispatched the Helene to Launceston for a further supply of wheat on the part of government. Labourers' wages 10s. per day, salt pork was ls. per lb., superior flour was sold at 20d. per lb., colonial fresh mutton Is. per lb. The newly.discovered tract in the interior, though re mote from head-quarters, had proved to be most fertile and productive. At King George's Sound the best prospects were entertained ; the soil close to the shore, though sandy and light, produced no less than three good crops of potatoes within the twelvemonth. Up to the present time we have no fresh accounts from Portugal, which are very anxiously sought after, pArticu larly information from the two squadrons. The Funds have become heavy since the early part of the day. Consols which were 83:7 for the Account re ceded to 83-,l f but the Chancery having purchased, pre vented a further fall. At present they are 83i I- for the Account. Bulk Stock has continued lowering—it has receded during the morning from 190 to 185 ; at present they may be quoted 185 to 187. Since last Thursday this Stock has fallen about 17 per Cent. At present it is the general topic of conversation in the City. In the Foreign Market little doing except in Dutch Stock. THREE O'CLOCK.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER, ATTENDED WITH Loss OF LIFE.-An accident attended with fatal consequences took place yesterday afternoon about three o'clock, just above Purfleet. The captain of the sailing vessel the Brilliant, belonging to Lord H. CrrotstoslDELEY,asked permission of his Lordship to take a few of his friends for a sailing excursion down to Graves end. This being acceded to, the Captain (BEADLE) started yesterday morning, in company with seven other persons, all males, his friends. They had a most boiste rous passage down the river, and the Brilliant, being a match vessel, only calculated for above-bridge sailing, laboured severely, and was almost continually under water. They reached Gravesend, however, and after remaining there for some time, they put about with the intention of returning home, and when they arrived at Purfleet, a sudden squall caused the vessel to heel, and she filled with water, and went down instantly, stern foremost. Imme diate assistance was rendered from shore, hut only two of the men were saved, the rest, including the Captain (BEADLE), were all consigned to a watery grave. NEWG ATE AND LEADENHALL MARKETS.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The supplies of the preceeding week were moderate of English Corn, but there was a very large quantity of Wheat from abroad, part of which has paid the present duty. This morning there was a considerable quantity of new Wheat of very fine and heavy quality. There has been almost a panic in the Wheat trade this morning, and the prices of Old are 4s. to 55., and New 6s. to Ss. per quarter lower than this day se'nnight. Barley for grinding is Is. per quarter lower. Beans are also Is. per quarter cheaper. Pease are unaltered. Oats are very heavy in sale, and full Is. per qr. lower, as good quantities still continue to come from Ire land. The top price of Flour is reduced ss. per sack. ?RICKS ON BOARD OF BR!?.

NEWCASTLE CORNMARKET-Aug.lS. We had a moderate supply of Wheat from the farmers, for which the sale was dull, at last week's prices. A good deal of Wheat Is cut in this district, but the weather being damp the last two days, none of the new crop was at this day's market. There was only:one sample of new Oats (Potatoe), which sold at per quarter ;—the old were dull, at our quotation.

On last Friday morning, a young man, named ROBERT FOWLER, residing at No. 6, Syd ney-terrace, was seized with a violent cramp and spasms, at about 1 o'clock. Medical assistance was instantly sent for, and every effort was resorted to by two medical gen tlemen—Mr. FARQUHAR, of Robert-street, and Mr. BROCK, of Whitehead's-grove—to restore him, but with out effect; and after undergoing the most excruciating agonies, he expired at h a lf- past 1 i n t h e a f ternoon, an d was burled in St. Luke's churchyard on the following day, as the body could not be kept any longer with safety He was a young man of abstemious habits, and followed the business of a jeweller, in which he greatly excelled, fr r many years. On the Thursday be was in perfect health, and retired to bed early. It is a most singular fact, that in the parish of Chelsea, in which the cholera has raged to a very great degree, not one case out of four has reco vered. The medical gentlemen considered this to be one of the mose decided cases they had ever attended, as there was not the slightest hope of recovery from the commence ment.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The improvement in Fleet -street, by the taking down the walla of the old St. Dunstan's Church, already shows not only the beauty of the splendid edifice of the new Church, the great accommodation to passengers, but tends to the preservation of the lives of many persons in that very narrow passage which is so great a public thoroughfare. It is to be hoped front the fine open view of that beautiful new Church—the greatest ornament in the City of London—that no building, or any noxious ob struction, will obscure this truly national ornament, which affords a beautiful entrance to Cdfford's inn, a place hitherto almost unknown to the public. Indeed, I believe that great injury has been done the Hon. Society of Clif ford's-inn, by the close and ruinous nature of the buildings leading to the Chambers. The City having so liberally paid so great an amount for this improvement, we hope, even though it may be attended with some loss to the parish by the sacrifice of a little ground, that a fine and commodious entrance will be made to the Inn, in a style corresponding with the new St. Dunstan's. I remain, Sir, your obedient s-rvant, AN OLD INHABITANT OF FLEET-STREET. TITHES.-AUCTION OF CATTLE BE LONGING TO J. S. LAMBERT, ESQ. M. P. Friday, the 10th inst. wits the auction day for the sale of Mr. Thomas D. Lambert's etock, namely, sixteen lamb., seized for the sum of three pounds ten shillings and one penny farthing, by the Rev. John Delmage, tithe proctor to the Rev. Mr. Hartigan, for tithe composition. At the hour appointed for the sale, Mr. T. D. Limbert, accompanied by some friends, proceeded to Kiltarton, where the auction was to take place. After waiting for some time, the Rev. Mr. Dwyer rode up, and in a few minutes turned towards Gort, as I am informed, to bring out an escort of military to attend the sale, and in about half an hour, he returned, accompanied by the police and the Rev, Mr. Hartigan and his tithe proctor, Delmage. Then, after much consultation among the Rev. Gen tlemen, Mr. Dwyer came forward and addressed him self to Mr. D. T. Lambert and his friends, stating, on the part of Mr. Delinage and the parties concerned, th it he would give up the lambs without going to auction, on Mr. Lambert's paying Mr. Deltnage's demand. Mr, T. D. Lambert replied, very coolly, " Let the law take its course." Then Mr. D. came forwat d and made the same off r as Mr. Dwyer, to which Mr. Lambert gave the same identical answer ; then Mr. Delmage and Mr. Dwyer both said we will set up the stock, and told the pound-keeper to bring them out. Mr Delmage then called for a common peasant, and desired him to act as auctioneer and set up the stock, which he accordingly did, at 2s. for the flock. A gentleman present immediately bid 1/. each for the flock, and a second bidder, one of Mr. Delmage's men, bid I/. Is. each for the flock, which ap peared to annoy the reverend gentlemen very much. After some consultation this man came forward and stated that he made a mistake, as he thought he was to get the flock for the guinea, and the reverend gentlemen desired the stock to be set up again, which accordingly was at 2s. for each. Immediately the same gentleman time forward and bid 1/. each for the flock, and after some consultation among the reverend gentlemen, he was declared the pura chaser, at 11. each, though he was the only bidder. The gentletrian paid 161. for sixteen lambs into the hands of Mr. Delmage. Mr. Delmage deduct ing the amount of his demand from the 161., tendered the balance to Mr. Lambert, which be (Mr. Lambert) refused, stating that the auction was illegal, and that he begged to notify to Mr. Delmage that he intended taking three actions against him, for defamation of character, for over distress in seizure of his stock, and for selling at an illegal auction. Then the Rev. Mr. Dwyer came forward and said, as loud as he could, " After all the exertions of that very popular man and Member for the county, to have 100,000 men present here this day, to attend the auction and have a row, he has failed in his exertions, for there are only 25 persons present, and most of those are personally concerned; and I have it from sworn au thority, that this very popular man used all his influence to have 100,000 men here to-day." To which speech Mr. T. D. Lambert replied, " Assertion is one thing, and truth another." Mr. Mahony, Chief Magistrate, then came up, after the sale was over, and addressed himself to Mr. Larnbert, saying, I am glad to see there is no ap pearance of a crowd here, for sworn informations were brought before me, stating that there was to be a great row.— Galway Free Press.
