he wished to fire a few ball cartridges in that direction. • °lle of the Magistrates, I believe Mr. Alderman Daniel, laid that from the situation in which the boats were de- scribed to be, there were probably a good many market People there, and they were probably the market boats, 1 , 11 (1 it would be desirable to avoid injuring those persons, If possible. One of the gentlemen present, I believe a special constable—said, " Let me have 25 men, and be supported by the troops, and I will undertake to go down end dislodge the people from the boats." That certainly Would have been undertaken if it were not for what Colo llel said. He said, "If you take my advice, You'll let them alone. It is getting very late, and if you don't disturb them, they will go home to bed." Some observations were then made as to the necessity of getting the city into a state of peace and quietness; to which Colonel Brereton answered, that his men should patrol the streets during the night, and he would be answerable for the peace of the city, or words to that effect. The officer of the 14th then went away, and so did Colonel Brereton, and I saw no more of him that night, as well as I recollect. When you on behalf of the civil authorities gave direc tions to disperse the rioters and clear the streets, did Lieut.- Colonel Brereton protest against, or in any respect dispute your authority as the organ of the magistrates?—Not in the slightest degree. I had been introduced to him as such, and had repeated communications with him in that capacity; besides, all this was in the presence of the civil authorities. 0 !r if r Were the rioters in fact dispersed from Queen-square, or Were the streets in the vicinity of Queen-square cleared at any one period from the hour when the troops arrived in Queen-square on Saturday evening the 29th of October, up to the period of your leaving Queen-square on that night or the following morning ?—I should say that the square was in a great measure, if not entirely, cleared when I left, and that the people had then gone to the streets in the neighbourhood. And as to that, I will say that the peopl e were then less riotous and not making so much noise, or I should not have left the city. The evidence of Mr. Serjeant Ludlow was then read over, and he was then directed to attend at ten o'clock to- morrow morning, in order to allow Colonel Brereton an opportunity to cross-examine him. The Court then adjourned at four o'clock until ten o'clock to-morrow. PRICES OT THE STOCKS TI Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Red.. 9214 5 42 3 per Cent-C,ons. ...... 3 per Cent.

' BRISTOL SPECIAL COMMISSION. i , BRISTOL, MOADAY, JAN% 9. 1 The Judges came into Court precisely at nine o'clock. Henry Green and George Andrews were indicted for, ( On the 30th of October last, in company with a riotous 1 . and tumultuous mob, having demolished and pulled down 'i. the house of Mr. James Leman, next doer to the Mansion house in Queen-square. The Jury consulted for a few minutes, and then found • both the prisoners Guilty. ' Joseph Kayes was indicted for having, on the Ist of October last, with divers others riotously and tumultuously assembled, pulled down, and demolished a certain house, ( th e property of Mr. Charles Bull, in Queen-square. The ATTORNEY-GENzaar. briefly stated the case. ' The Jury here retired for a few minutes to get some re freshments : while they were out, f Mr. SMITH moved in the case of Christopher Divis, against whom bills of indictment for demolishing had heen found late on Saturday, that his trial should be post poned till Wednesday. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, in granting the motion, hoped that every effort would be made to get ready the prisoner's defence by Wednesday, as he (the Lord Chief Justice) could not remain beyond that day. • • On the return of the Jury, William Bull was examined—ls the son of Mr. Charles )3 ull. Was in his father's house on the Sunday night of the riots. He was there when the mob first entered it. They forced the door open while the family were carry ing the things out for safety. He saw the prisoner, in the first instance, standing outside the door before it was forced. He had seen the prisoner before. The prisoner, When be (witness) first saw him, was attempting, with ethers, to get the door opened. The witness, on his re turn to the house, after depositing some of the furniture in s afety, found it very difficult to enter the house. The prisoner was one of those who endeavoured to prevent him from getting in. A person inside opened the door for witmss, and ou his going in, some of the mob forced their way into the house. Witness did not see the prisoner in the house. It was shortly afterwards burned. Mr. Justice BOSANOUET charged the Jury. At the conclusion of the Judge's charge, on the application of his i - Counsel, the prisoner w a s a ll owe d t o a dd ress a few word s r to the Jury. Ie doing so he vehemently protested his en tire innocence of the offence laid to his charge. The prisoner was decently attired in the dress of a gen tleman's groom. The Jury then retired to consider their verdict ; and after remaining out about half an hour, returned with a verdict of Guilty against the prisoner.

MIRACULOUS Esca PE. —We have received the following account of the miraculous escape of the Right Hon. Lord George Paulet, Commander of his Majesty's ship Nautilus, and boat's crew, from drowning, at Tarbert, in the river Shannon, last month : The officers and ship's company of his Majesty's ship Nautilus were thrown into the utmost suspense on the evening of the 19th of December, for the safety of their commander, the Right Hon. Lord George Paulet, and his boat's crew. His Lordship bad been spending the evening with Com mander Radford, of his Majesty's ship Nimrod, and about nine p. in. was returning to the Nautilus, when, owing to the strength of the tide, on coming alongside, the bow man of the boat was drawn overboard, and by the time he was picked up again, the boat was a considerable distance astern : however, by getting in shore, they again succeeded in reaching the vessel, and, to make surety doubly sure, so far ahead that the bow of the boat caught the pee of the anchor, and in consequence upset : his Lordship, together vriththe crew, were immersed in water, and from the strength of the tide, which had been tried not long before, and found to run 7i knots (miles) the hour, was soon out of sight and hearing of the Nautilus. Lieut. J. G. Dickson, with all that recklessness of personal danger the true characteristic of a British sailor, followed by Mr. R. F. Cleveland, mate, and two or three others, jumped into the starboard quarter boat, which was lowered into the water, and without acci dent, it is said to the imminentrisk of their own lives, because the tide was running between seven and eight knots, and all seafaring men must know it rather a ticklish business lowering a boat when a ship is going between seven and eight knots through the water ; and had any accident happened in lowering this boat, every soul must have .4 Perished, not having another boat to send to their assistance. ' Although a moonlight night, from his Lordship and boat's crew being immersed in the water to the neck, it was impossibl e to discern them at any distance; there fore Lieut. Dickson thought it advisable to pull as much as possible in the tide way, and after pulling and drifting three or four miles, not seeing any thing of those in the water, it was thought best to rest upon the oars and listen, in hopes of being near enough to catch their cries: how ever, after waiting in this position five or ten minutes, not hearing any thing of them, and when in the act of giving up all hopes of their recovery, and returning to the Nautilus, the cries were beard, and all hands rescued from a watery grave. Every sensitive heart may easily fancy the feeling of his Lordship and boat's crew, when the boat coming to their rescue lay on their oars ; and it may without any greit stretch be imagined fit was the extraordinary effort made by all hands on perceiving her about to pull away, and abandon them to their fate, that succeeded in drawing the attention of Lieutenant Dickson. Every one must envy the feelings of Lieutenant J. G. Dickson, in being instru mental in saving the valuable lives of the four men, and of his much esteemed and noble commander, whose loss . would have been deeply deplored by those who have the honour to serve under his command on board the Nautilus, setting aside the national loss in so meritorious an officer. Surely the conduCt of Lieutenant Dickson upon this occasion, if duly represented to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, would be rewarded by his promotion t o the rank of Commander—little enough for saving five valuable lives.

It is highly gratifying:— BOARD OF HEALTH, SUNDERLAND, JANUARY 8, 1832. SIR,—It is with unfeigned satisfaction I now transmit to you by the direction of the Board the enclosed return, and which will convey to the Central Board intelligence of the gratifying fact that these towns are now wholly free from the disease which has so long unhappily prevailed amongst us. I am directed to add, that in consequence of this most favour able change in the state of the public health, the Board have determined to discontinue their daily sittings, and to meet only twice in the week, unless any particular circumstance should arise to require their attendance more frequently. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, GEORGE STEPHENSON, Secretary. To W. Maclean, Esq. We are requested by the Central Board of Health, to give publicity to the following impor tant sanitary recommendations : CENTRAL BOARD OF HEALTH, COUNCIL OFFICE, WHITEHALL, JAN. 10, 1832. The Central Board of Health most earnestly exhort Magis trates, Overseers, and all the authorities of parishes in the north of England, to abstain as much as possible from the removal of paupers, whenever their state of health is attended with suspi cious circumstances. They further recommend that the health of all paupers and vagrants who may come into any parish may be most carefully attended to, and if any of them should be afflicted with symp toms of disease, that they may be lodged separately and sup. plied with medical attendance and every thing necessary. In cases of disease, it will be adviseable also that the bedding and clothes should be placed in an oven or stove, heated to 21.2 de grees of Farenheit, or immersed in boiling water, as the most effectual means of disinfection. By order of the Board, (Signed) WILLIAM MACLEAN, Secretary. There has not been so much real stir in the political circles for several years past as within the last few days. Cabinet couriers of all na tions have been crossing and re-crossing the Channel, and flying about in all directions in a very unusual manner. There must be something very important on hand to occasion all this bustle. Several Cabinet couriers went across the Chan nel on Saturday, and five more followed on Sunday. Indeed so urgent were the despatches of Prince LIEVEN, that on Saturday the Russian messenger crossed the Channel with them in an open boat ; and yesterday another Russian mes senger followed. Messengers from the Austrian, Prussian, and French Embassies, also went over yesterday. At Calais, on Sunday, the military were ac tively employed mounting cannon on the ram parts. The decisions come to at the Cabinet Council, held at the Foreign-office on Saturday, are sup posed to have given this extraordinary stimulus to the march of diplomacy. German Papers received this morning con tain an article under the head of Leghorn, evi dently got up by the Holy Alliance for the pur pose of throwing some obstacles in the way of France, with respect to the occupation and coloni zation of Algiers. The Court of Sardinia is said to have applied, or rather remonstrated to the Courts of Europe, but more particularly to that of Eng land, on the subject, intimating that the posses sion of Algiers by France will not only destroy the trade of Italy, but eventually give France the ascendancy in the Mediterranean. But the most absurd part of this very absurd affair is, that Sardinia should wish for the restora tion of Algiers to its old regime of piracy, subsidy, ransoms, and the protectorate of the Porte !—the same Sardinia, whose vessels were only tolerated in her own seas, by paying a yearly tribute to the Prince of robbery, murder, and Christian slavery. We must presume in charity that the article is a hoax:— VIENNA, Dec. 29.—Last week a Turkish Colonel, named Achmed Nadir Bey, arrived here from Constantinople, to learn the exercise of the Austrian troops of the line, which is a new proof of the perseverance of the Sultan in his plans of Reform. Accounts 'from Scutari, received by way of Trieste, say that Mustapha Pachalwho had already embarked with his family, his treasures, and a numerous suite, on his voyage to Constantinople, has been landed again, quite alone, to be conveyed without cere mony to that capital, and this proceeding had excited doubts re specting his freedom.

The explosion in the French Chamber of Deputies, on the occasion of M. MONTA LIVET'S unfortunate expression of'' subjects of Louis PHILIPPE," will have excited many a smile from English readers, accustomed to dwell rather upon things than words ; but it is, never theless, one of those incidents which are import ant, as straws that shew which way the wind blows. It betrays a very slight acquaintance with 'French habits of thinking, to' suppose that tl►e anger of the Deputies was directed against an unmeaning sound. No such thing was the case. Their wrath was kindled, indeed, by a mere word, but it had been prepared for an explosion by a growing and deep conviction, that France had been imposed upon by the Government of the Citizen King, and that the French people had been deluded of the hopes they had founded upon the Revolution of the three days. An expression, savouring of vassalage and feudality, and even of Divine right, was, at the least, extremely injudicious in the mouth of a revolutionary Minister. He ought to have known how abhorrent such a phrase must have been to a people, who could not endure the sight of the Fleur-de-lis, the ancient arms of France, or the sound of the words " King of France and Navarre." All these things were symbols of a tyranny which the French nation detested, and when they turned their hopes to the future, establishing liberty and equality as the basis of the throne of the " King of the FRENCH," they intended to regard his MA JESTY in the light of the first of citizens, and not as a SOVEREIGN to whom allegiance was due, otherwise than submission became the right of all authorities constituted by the Charter, of which the KING was the chief. The meaning of the protesting Deputies was that they were subject to the law, and to authorities ordained by the law, but they were not the liege subjects of LOUIS PHILIPPE, in the sense that the Russians are the subjects of the Emperor NICHOLAS, any more than they were the sub jects of a Cabinet-Minister or of a Judge. There is a plain distinction between the two de scriptions of subordination, which none but mock Liberals could wish to confound. The remarks of M. MONTALIVET, which preceded the expression in question, were just such a string of fallacies as have been repeated over and over again in our House of Commons, as a justification of Royal avarice or extravagance. The French, however, will not stand such argu ments, as that the profusion of a Court is a na tional good, and ought to be kept up by draining the national resources. The comforts of thou sands and thousands to be abridged, indeed, for the benefit of a few Court tradesmen ! The French are justly indignant at the enormous de mands of their Citizen KING, who, it appears, in the fifteen or sixteen months after his accession, cost France forty million of francs, being nearly two million sterling, and exceeding the expenses of CH ARLES X. in any similar period. The Commisson on the Budget has recommended some reductions, but not equal to the public ex pectations, and there seems to be a very general feeling against Louts PHILIPPE'S want of con sideration, or, in other words, his rapacity for the public money. The Feucheres, or Cravat, Trial, happens just at the moment to confirm the charge of avarice which has been otherwise fixed upon this Prince, and neither his present or fu ture reputation, in this respect, can be very en viable. The Juste Milieu Government seems altogether to have fallen into the degradation to which its mock-patriotism at home, and its mock-philanthropy abroad, coul'l not have failed, sooner or later, to drive it. Fortunately for the world, empiricism in Government, as in other matters, can never stand long against the shock of the genuine principles of political or private morality. Mr. HART, Surveyor-General of the Post office, is appointed to fill the office of Agent of his Majesty's packets at Dover, vacant by the death of the late Sir THOMAS MANTELL. Mr. HART is a very old servant of the Post-office, and has this appointment in lieu of a superannua tion, t,5 which he would have been entitled. This is really a proof of a determination on the part of the Post-master General to economise, for there can be no doubt that there has been a variety of applicants for the situation. Lisbon Gazettes, to the 24th December in clusive, have been received. They merely notice Don MIGUEL'S approbation of some monks who have volunteered their personal services, in case of invasion. Well may the monks tremble at the prospect before them, for their reign, like NITGuEL's, is fast drawing to a close. All the accounts we receive hold out the most cheering hopes of the success of Don PEDRO'S expedition. - - SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY;) FROM LLOYD'S.

OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Benjamin Sith, aged 3:2, was indicted for burglariously break ing and entering the dwelling house of Charlotte Cole, residing at Twickenham, and stealing a large quantity of property. Mr. ADOLPHUS stated the case for the prosecution. Thomas Bunce, an accomplice in the robbery, deposed that on the evening of the 11th of Dec., he and three other persons named Kite, Davis, and the prisoner, agreed among themselves to rob the prosecutrix's house, Davis having ascertained that she was absent from her house. They all met at the Two Sawyers public-house, afterwards they went to the Bell, and from thence they proceeded to Mrs. Cole's. They got over the garden railings and went into the summer house, from whence they went to the back door, which the pri soner attempted to force with a crow-bar, but did not succeed. They, however, got into the window by forcing open the shut ters. They then ransacked the house of what they could get, and put it into their bundles. Some of the property witness concealed in a garden by the road-side, leading out of Twicken ham, and then they went to the yard of the Queen's-head public house, and while there a watchman came up and spoke to Kite and Davis, and then he went away. They then went into the stable, and while there a decanter of wine fell down and broke, upon which the watch came up, and they imme diately all rushed out, leaving the rest of the property behind them. None of them were then taken. Subsequently the prisoner and witness were taken up, and witness, upon a second examination, declared all he knew of the transaction. Witness took an officer to the garden, where part of the pro. perty was secreted, but the plate was gone, and he had not seen it since. Witness was taken into custody on the Tuesday week following, the 20th of December. The prisoner was first taken up. Davis and Kite were never taken. On the second exa mination, witness told what he knew, and took an officer to the garden, where the knives and forks were found, but not the plate. . _ _ Cross-examined by Mr. C. PHILLIPS—Had come out of prison to-day to give evidence, in order to save himself. Wit. ness had not since seen the plate; it was put into the garden, near the hedge, and the hedge had been since cut down. Rea dily fell into the plan to rob Mrs. Cole's house ; knew he had no right to steal the property. Did not care whose house he went to rob. The prisoner was discharged out of cus tody once. Was at the Queen's Head after this robbery with the prisoner and Mrs. Crofts ; did not quarrel with prisoner, or say that he would do for him. Was not offended when the proposal to rob the house was made to him. Witness took his landlord's crow-bar to assist in effecting the rob bery. Witness was in the summerhouse when the others forced open the windows, which was fifteen yards distant; was in three public-houses that night drinking ; would not swear he was sober; was never taken up before for any thing ; soon after the robbery repented that he had been concerned in it. It was not from fear he at last confessed, but from repentance and love of justice.—(Laughter.) Repentance and the officer seised him at the same time.—(Laughter.) James Webb, watchman at Twickenham, stated he remem. bered when Mrs. Cole's house was robbed; on that night he met Bunco, Kite, and Davis in Bell-lane. Several witnesses gave the prisoner a good character. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. The accomplice, Bunco, was ordered to be discharged from custody. Robert Lewis, a young man of highly-respectable appearance and connections, was indicted for forging a cheque for the pay ment of 1001., with intent to defraud Messrs. Hoare and Co. lie was also charged with uttering it. Joseph Onions, landlord of the Horse and Dolphin, in St. Martin's-lane—On the 24th of December the prisoner came in about six o'clock in the evening, and asked him to take a cheque for 1001. to Messrs. Hoares on the following Monday to get cashed, and in the mean time to advance him 21. He did so and gave witness a receipt; witness had told him it was useless fur him to go to Hoare and Co.'s without a receipt as he had done so before for the prisoner, and having no receipt the money was not given to him. Witness went out and got a half a crown stamp, and prisoner wrote a receipt on it. On the evening of Monday the prisoner came and asked witness if he had been in the city ? he replied he had not had time to go; prisoner asked for another sovereign and he lent him one. The following day witness gave the cheque and receipt to Mr. Durham, a coal merchant, to get the cash at Hoare and Co.'s house. Mr. Alexander Durham, a coal merchant, deposed that on receiving the cheque and receipt he went to Hoare and Co., but they detained them and refused the payment. Mr. Palmer, clerk to Messrs. Hoare and Co, stated that the last witness presented a draft for 100!., and a receipt. The draft purported to be signed by Mr. Tooks, who had an account at Iloare and Co.'s. In consequence of something which had lately happened Mr. Tooks altered his manner of signing his drafts. Witness knew that the draft in question was not signed by that gentleman. Mr. Thomas Tooks, an attorney at Sherhorne, in Dorsetshire, stated that he knew the prisoner well. The draft now produced was not in witness's writing. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Tooks recommended the prisoner to mercy. Edward Drew was indicted for breaking and entering the dwelling-house of William Tatman, Esq., in August, 1829, and stealing a gold watch, value 181. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. Theprosecutor strongly recommended him to mercy. NE IV COURT. Ann Smith and Eliza Roberts were charged with stealing a watch and pocket-book, from the person of John Krunk, a broker, in Bartholomew-close.—Both found Guilty. Elizabeth Pricket was indicted for receiving a great quantity of linen, consisting of upwards of 150 articles, she well knowing them to have been stolen. Verdict—Guilty. There was another indictment against the prisoner, but this was so clearly proved that the other was not gone Into. • Eliza Little, a next door neighbour to the last prisoner, was next charged with the like offence, being also part of the articles stolen on the same occasion which was found in her house. The evidence was the same, and this prisoner also was found Guilty. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY. TWELVE 0' CLOCK. Accounts from Bruges to the sth inst. state that the Dutch troops are making a movement on this side of our frontiers, and fear is entertained that they will profit by the frost and make an attack upon us. Accounts from Arlen, Jan. 4, say that the insurgents continue to organize themselves under the fortress. They write from the frontiers of Prussia, Dec. 30, that some misunderstanding has taken place between the Cabinet of St. Pctersburgh and that of Vienna, relative to the occupation of the Republic of Cracow by the Russian troops. The King of Prussia has sent an agent to Vienna to try to settle the diffe rences, and to propose a new Constitution for that republic. The information from Vienna states that the exchange of couriers between that capital and Paris still continues to be very frequent, and that negociations are going on with the greatest activity, not only for the disarmament but also for Italy. Accounts from Leipsic state, that several columns of Polish re. fugees are going to march through Germany on their way to France. Their expences will be paid by the French Government. THE FUNDS. A Lisbon mail has arrived this morning, which sailed on the 24th of December. As yet we do not hear that it brings any news of importance. There is a great bustle at the Stock-Exchange—nothing but reports of war's alarms ; also that Casimir Perier has resigned, or is going to resign. Indeed, if we can believe the information by the estafette this day from Paris, it appears that the French Government have taken the alarm, and will not any longer be trifled with by the intrigues of the Northern Courts. The con— ferences at Paris between the diplomatic corps have been within a few days more frequent than ever, and the last conference was occasioned by an extraordinary courier, which Count Appony, the Austrian Ambassador, received from Vienna, of importance. Three couriers also arrived in Paris in one day from Madrid to the Spanish Ambassador, and were on the same day dispatched to London, Vienna, and St. Petersburgh. All these movements cer tainly indicate that important negociations are on the tapis with the various Courts which at present appear in a convulsed state. Russia, during the winter will act with a high hand, and try to bully the other Northern Powers into her views, which no doubt France foresees. caught es the forarmit.ht g h e s nA t c n ci or oc n t i in nl ool: C e 7g ed nso z ls, rgAr.

HADDINGTON.-THE CHOLERA. While every precaution to prevent the spread of cholera. which prudence can dictate, and reason approve of, is highly commendable in our present position, as respects this dreaded, and it must be allowed, dreadful disease— there are bounds which even frail humanity would shudder to overpass, and cowardice itself shrink from with shame. The following particulars regarding a poor man who died of cholera last week at Haddington, place the selfish feel ings of human nature ;in a very unfavourable light. The facts are related by a person who left the town for self preservation, and although fear and common rumour have the effect of exaggeration in almost every instance, still we hare reason to believe there is more truth than we could wish in the statement. The unfortunate man referred to, was seized with cholera, and died--or was given up by the doctors, which in a case of cholera is the same thing-- after a few hours' illness. The clamour to have bodies buried immediately after death, obtains to such a degree at present, that the relatives or friends of the deceased were forced to comply with the public wish, and the man was immediately invested with the usual habiliments of death. We are not aware if it be known in Haddington, that in cholera cases symptoms of life often happen after death— that is, to judge charitably, nervous movements take place, occasioned by the active operation of the fatal virus, which produces the appearance of death before life is really ex tinguished. Dr. Crichton, who describes the symptoms of cholera in the Dundee Advertiser with skilful miaute ness, says, " A medical gentleman of great authority men tioned to me, that in some cases in India he had seen vio lent convulsions for some time after death,—so much so that the fellow soldiers bound the lifeless limbs to the bed frame, in order to calm the timid." Now, whether these facts were known to the Haddingtonians, our informant dues not intimate, but the first thing the dead man did, was, by a sweep of his right arm, to throw the grave clothes from his breast. A few fir boards were hastily nailed together for his coffin, and he was thrust into this " narrow house," while his chest undulated with the spasms " which are said to occur after death !" From the period of his reputed demise until the clods of the valley covered him, a space of little more than five hours elapsed ! Such are the particulars related by a woman who lived near the habitation of the poor man; and if they he not literally correct—as we said before, we hope they are not—still they are told for truths by persons who were on the spot where the alleged occurrence was witnessed, and deserve publicity, least any such shocking spectacle should take place ; and be tolerated. —Scotsman. The Marquis of ANGLESEA concludes a letter written a few day s since to a gentleman of this county, with these remarkable words.—" I have no doubt that the Lords will pass the Bill. —Caernarvon Herald. The conferences amongst the diplomatists at Paris have become more frequent than ever. The last was occasioned by the arrival on Wednesday of an extraordinary courier from Vienna, with despatches for Count D'Arroxy. —French Paper. The cholera continues to make progress at Haddington, but has not yet reached Edinburgh ; where, we are informed, its attack is hourly expected.—Morning Paper. RUMOURED CONFLICT AT TAGIIMON..-- We saw a letter yesterday, written by a highly respectable gentleman in Wexford, mentioning a rumour, that a conflict took place on Tuesday, between a large party of police and a considerable number of the peasantry, in the neighbourhood of Taghmon, in which seven of the country people were killed, and several wounded. The letter also stated, that a considerable addition was about to he made to the military force in the county of Wexford. We give the statement of the conflict merely as a report, having been unable to obtain accurate information on the subject. The melancholy occurrence is stated to have been the result of the tithe system.—Freeman's Journal. NOTTINGHAM SPECIAL COMMISSION.— Yesterday the Court was occupied with the trial of some fresh prisoners, for having set fire to the Beeston Mill. The trial was going forward when our reporter quitted the Court. It was of no great interest or importance. Last week we heard a report that the Asiatic cholera had reached Batley, and that a person had died there of that complaint the Thursday preceding. We have the pleasure to state, on the authority of a respectable re sident medical gentleman, that there is " no foundation" for the report.—Leeds Mercury. The quarantine in Spain is supposed to be finally settled. The following are the particulars :—Ships from all places between the Humber and the Frith of Forth excluded ; also all vessels from the west coast en the same parallel of latitude ; from all other ports of Great Britain a quarantine of twenty days. Lord FITZGERALD and VESEY (late the Right Hon. VESEY FITZGERALD), who by the recent death of his mother, the Baroness FITZGERALD, succeeds to the dignity of an Irish Peerage, has left town on his return to Ireland. His Lordship's father, the Right Hon. JAMES FITZGERALD, still survives at a very advanced age. Mr. FITZGERADD held for many years high offices under the Crown, which he voluntarily relinquished on the great question of the legislative Union of Ireland with Great Britain, and finally retired from public life after having borne a distinguished part in the political history of his country, and been a Member of the House of Commons in ten successive Parliaments. The Right Hon. Gentleman united himself to the late Baroness, who was descended from the same ancestry with the Viscounts DE Vzscx, in 1782, and by her Ladyship had the present Peer, the Hon. and Reverend the Dean of KILasoKE, Lady Ross Mallow, Mrs. LESLIE FOSTER, and the Hon. GERALDINE FITZGERALD. STATE OF TRADE.—We are glad to say that the prospects of trade continue improving, and thit they have produced this week an advance in the price of yarn. It is to he hoped an advance in wages will follow. —Man ch ester Titnes. QUARANTINE.--We have the pleasure to state, that it appears from a letter received by a mercan tile house i❑ this town from the Foreign-office, that the severe quarantine regulation issued by the Spanish Go. vernment does nut apply to vessels from the west coast of England, but is confined to the east coast, including ves sels from Yarmouth, to within fifty leagues along the east coast to the north or Sunderland. Consequently vessels from London, Liverpool, and Bristol, are admitted into Spanish ports on the usual mild quarantine of twelve day s at the ports to which they sail, whilst vessels from ports within the prescribed limits are compelled to sail to port Mahon, in Minorca, discharge their cargoes, and perform there a quarantine of 40 days.—Leeds Mercury. "The Orange Parsons and others, calling themselves " the friends of Scriptural education," are to meet on Tuesday, at the Rotunda, to make an effort to compel the Government again to adopt the proselytising and atrocious system which excited the indignation and abhorrence of all honest and charitable men against the Kildare-place Society. But the real object is to make a parade of another " Protestant grievance." A grew grievance, truly, because the canting hypocrites will not be allowed to force upon the Catholics a plan of education repugnant io their religious tenets.—Dublin Morning Register. THE CHOLERA AT NEWCASTLE AND GATESHEAD. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) NEWCASTLE-IUPON.TYNE, JAN m, The reports both for Gateshead and Newcastle this day confirm the opinion I ventured to express in my letter last night namely, that the cholera is in both towns now on the decline. The Board of Health for Newcastle informs us there are twenty-nine new cases, twenty-four recoveries, and nine deaths. On the sth of January there remained one hundred and twenty cases under treatment : on the 6th there were one hundred and eleven ; on the 7th one hundred and three, and this day, the Bth, there are ninety-nine. So that, though the disease declines slowly, it is clearly becoming less step by step. Of the ninety-nine cues remaining, we are not toll how many are in the township of Byker ; but I believe a considerable portion of them do not strictly belong to Newcastle. A writer in one of the London Papers, I think the Times, has stated that a considerable number of the cases of cholera that had appeared here have occurred in Byker, which is a de pendency of Newcastle, situated on the top of a hill. This is quite a mistake. The village of Byker, it is true, is on the top of a hill, but the great mass of the cases have oc curred in the township of Byker, which comprehends several small villages, which are in low situations, close by the side of the river, as St. Peter's, St. Anthony's, Dent's hole, &c. In fact one of the most marked peculiarities of this disease since we have had it is, that it has followed the course of the river. Its principal ravagei have been amongst poor people, who hare lived very short distanc from the river. For instance, Sandgate, in Newcastle, where it first appeared and was most destructive, is close to the river ; Pipewellgate and Hillgate, in Gateshead, tre the streets where it has caused most havoc—they are close to the river. Then look to the villages where it has been most prevalent up the water—Bell's-close, Newburn, Ryton—these are very war to the river. The same may be said of Dunston, S vallwell, and Heworth. It is true that several cases occurred on Gateshead-fell, which is the highest, airiest, and most healthy part of the parish of Gateshead ; but the same North wind which brought the nuisance into one part of the parish, would account for its appearance in the other. I before men tioned another cause for its appearance on Gateshead-fell, namely, the removal of the corpse of a young man who died at Springwell, near Wreckenton, of cholera, to Gates. head-fell. The Gateshead report of this day states that there are seven new cases, three recoveries, and only two deaths. The number of cases remaining under treatment there is thirty-seven. IRELAND.-DUBLIN, JAN. G. (From the Times.) Great exertions are at last making on the part of the Irish Government to check the spirit of insubordination , hroughout the country; the military are employed in all capacities, and local subscriptions for the prosecution of offenders are spiritedly supported at the Castle. Three hundred pounds have been promptly offered by the gently and farmers of the county of Kilkenny, for the appre ,rension of the murderers of William Walsh, of Pottlerath, This sum has been backed by 2001. by Joseph Green, R.M. on behalf of Government. The county of West meath is suffering under a system of nightly outrage. Early on last Sunday night three policemen were patrol ling in the vicinity of Killcar : they heard a gunshot from the village, and turned their steps in that direction. On arriving, they found a party of armed men, amounting to !•200, who on being challenged boldly advanced against them. The policemen instantly retreated to a house, and sustained an attack, which ended in a demoli tion of the door and windows. They (lid not return the assailant's fire, and the marauders retreated without fur ther mischief, The chief objects of attack on the part of the peasantry throughout the country are, the cattle of in dividuals with whom they are at enmity. In the noto rious parish of Rath (county Clare), the scene of so many outrages, 16 sheep have been lately houghed in a rent. quarrel. The cattle of Mr. Laurence Thynne (who was persecuted so violently last year) have again been scattered through the country (at night) in all directions, and the chances are against his recovering one-half of his property. In a part of the county of Carlow (Barony of Barren) another mode of destruction of property prevails—hunting cattle by night over the precipitous cliffs in the neighbour hood of Lisdoonvarna. In the city of Cork an incident occurred last Wednes day, at a public meeting to petition for a revision of the mode of appointing the local Magistracy, which shows the feeling on the subject of the repeal of the Union prevail ing there at present. In the midst of a speech delivered by Dr. Baldwin, these words occurred—" If, for instance, we should come into this Court-house to petition for a repeal of the Union, and I trust we may"---when tre mendous cheers were given, which were renewed for a considerable time, at last Dr. Baldwin was permitted to continue—" When I witness such a manifestation of feel ing as this, I never can despair that Ireland will be a ra tion again. I never can doubt that we shall wrest front the Parliament of England the power of making laws for Ireland." Here the cheers were repeated. The Orangemen in the North are proceeding vigorously in the expression of their public opinion. The counties of Tyrone, Monaghan, Antrim, and Ferrnanah, are organiz ing their several reactions to what they denounce as "the Ministerial Revolutionary Bill," signing petitions and re quisitions, and endeavouring by all means to " promote a co-operation of Orangemen in the present menacing crisis for the preservation of the Protestant Church and Throne, kc." The language of this ultra party is increasing every day in violence and recklessness. They premise to speedily outstrip their opponents in the phraseology of menace against England. The incendiary plan of opposition to tithes has now got into, operation in the county of Kil dare. The house of Mr. O'Reilly, one of the most inde pendent and respectable Catholics in the county, has been burned to the ground, and a considerable quantity of valuable property totally destroyed. The nightly legislators are all-powerful in their opportunities of mischief. NATIONAL POLITICAL UNION. This Society had a meeting on Thursday, Mr. Guthrie, barrister, in the chair. Several letters were read from Irish Members of Parliament, in answer to the requisition to them to attend the " National Council," convened for this day (Monday). Mr. Ruthven, the Member for Downpatrick, expresses in his answer his intention to be present. The following is an extract from this gentleman's letter : " We have to complain of the project to limit the addi tion of Members for Ireland in Parliament to the number of five, while even of those one is proposed to be given to an exclusive ecclesiastical corporation. Ireland possesses more than one-third of the population of the United King dom, and we are taught to expect that the appropriation of representatives in the House of Commons is to be 500 for England, 53 for Scotland, and 105 for Ireland ; thus, for 14,000,000 of inhabitants it is proposed to give 553 Members, while for 8,000,000 of people in Ireland, 105 are to be allowed. Is this a fair proportion ?or are the nreciprocityidKarrangementsin for this gdoofm?protection representation re Ireland dto requires, the j differentusat and nd q a sepa entitled, of g iving he Ut o send a much greater number of. Members to sit in the House of Commons." Mr. Jephson, the Member for Mallow, in his reply says--" The electors of Mallow have elected me to repre sent them in Parliament. 'When they shall think proper to order my attendance at a meeting convened by the Trades' Union of Dublin, I shall be prepared to adopt that line of conduct which I shall consider due to myself, and becoming the situation in which they have placed me." Sir J. W. Holt, Member for Kildare county, says— " I regret that 1 am under the necessity of declining to connect myself in any way with the proceedings of that day, as I consider that by doing so I should run the risk of subjecting my future movements in Parliament to the controul of previous engagements entered into in Dublin, wholly incompatible with my ideas of political indepen dence." Lord Killeen's letter adverts to the novelty of the pro posed meeting, the policy of which he considers doubtful, and declares that even were that policy less doubtful, be sees no paramount advantage likely to accrue to the Irish Reform Bill at a time when more than half of the Irish Reforming Members are in England. Mr. O'Connell read a long address to the people of Ire land, signed by himself as Chairman of the Committee of the Political Union. It is a forcible and well-directed appeal to the factions which divide the country, particu larly the " White Feet" and "laok Feet," calling on. them to put an end to their feuds. The appeal is also directed to the Orangemen and Ribandmen. where ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—On Sunday after noon a young woman about twenty-two years of age, pun chlsed some white precipitate and laudanum , 5 , a chemist's s t t h re e et,adjoiniv, in Oxford-street, which she deliberately swallowed in Marlborough-street. Several persons observed her, and on ascertaining the fact, Messrs. DERBYSHIRE and HILL MAN, surgeons, in the same street were called to her aid. One of the gentlemen instantly attended, and had her con veyed desired effect, and No retqun has beer, assigned for the rash act. she tii e is now stomach-pump a va tchhe i - n PI a un fim f a rP i t n r wa w ra) a s.
