.DON AarzADEE AND PORTPATRICK PACKET STATION. (Prom the Belfast News Letter.) We have been favoured with the following correspon dence between the Marquis of Londonderry and Sir J. raham, first Lord of the Admiralty, and in consequence ofa former letter having been published by the Belfast soi3Loch Ryan Committee, we are authorised to pub milthe same : L"TIZ MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY TO SIR JAMES GRAHAM, BART. "Tower of Garron, 12th Oct., 1853. " Sir,.—l do not often trouble her Majesty's Govern ment with any representation, but it appears to me a duty from my position in the North of Ireland, humbly and earnestly to call your attention and that of her Majesty's Government to the consideration of the short est sea passage communication between the two islands. Years have passed since I anxiously have laboured un successfully in calling attention of the different Govern ments to this subject, every day becoming of more and more vital importance to the commercial industry and prosperity of the coast population of the North of Ire land and North West of Scotland. " I have presumed to send you to-day a Belfast News Letter, in which I have developed my humble views as they appear to my mind at the present moment, but I should be sorry to forego, if there was the least chance of their ultimate success, those long-cherished sentiments which still have unshaken force, but been overcome by stern impossibility. " I would not, with the deepest desire to have the object of a short sea passage accomplished, forego the full considerations and weight of those who are still strenuous in their contention for Port Patrick and Donaghadee versus Belfast and LOch Ryan, and there fore I enclose a paper sent to me by the late superin tendent of Donaghadee (Commander Hawes, R.N.), an officer of very great experience and ability, and whom I have sailed with often. "Pardon me, sir, if I venture to state that I think no one subject whatever under the consideration of the Board of which you are the enlightened head, and of whose great intellectual mind the country is well aware, would afford the administration of your great department more real credit and honour than it they undertook and brought to a happy issue and conclusion the shortest line of sea communication that science and art can contrive between Great Britain and Ireland. " Allow me to inform you of what I believe to be the present state of the great discussions going on in Bel fast upon this important affair. " The Greenock Steam Company Packets,'in having bribed her Majesty's late Whig Government to give up carrying the mails, at a certain expense (though really trifling), between Portpatrick and Donaghadee, by offering to carry them gratis, which they now do, are extremely alarmed at the possible success of the new scheme of steamers between Belfast and Loch Ryan, &c., lest; by the undoubted superiority and celerity, when the line was pet fectly established, they would carry away both mails again, and passengers, &c., which they think to have secured by their late ma ncenvres in knocking up Portpatrick and Donaghadee. This large body of persons in the Greenock establish ments are now advocating, in the strongest manner, the return to the old ports exploded, being morally convinced that these will never be resuscitated, but the cry thus raised again for them will damage, by the opposition, the Belfast and Loch Ryan line, which the Greenockers are wofully alarmed at, from the most disinterested views. "The press teems with reasons de parti d'autre, by some' noted and some anonymous writers. Unquestion ably, all the Belfasters, not Greenockers, it I may so term it, are hostile to the very chance of any other place than this modern city of Ulster, havine• the great steam station across the channel, and its accommodation in every way makes it most eligible, and from it, I, too, must fear, alone the departure from Ireland must be ulti mately fixed. " However, the time seems arrived when Govern ment will be driven to form some patriotic determina tion, and be no longer swayed by interested companies, or miserable misapplied economy. Can it, in your days of progress, be borne, that the greatest naval power in the world, with riches, science, and means, to any ex tent, should, for years past and still permit the immense advantages of a two or three hours' passage, against ten, twelve, or fourteen, to be neglected, and entirely to be lost sight of, and still allow two ports that cost 400,0001. to appear as barren rocks upon the verge of the ocean. dilapidated and decayed, an emblem of former follies and present supineness of British legislators. " It would be worthy of you, sir, to point out the dis comfort and inconvenience, not alone danger the most suffering and weak part of our inhabitants in these re gions are exposed to, which a very trifling sacrifice of your superabundant means at command would so easily remove. Immense sums have been expended on the Holyhead and Dublin line, but Dublin is not Para. It is not Ireland as Paris is said to be France. By the unfortunate mistake of them and the commissioners who originally directed all the Holyhead outlay, they entirely lost sight of the provinces. Why was not Belfast, Lon donderry, Larne, and other ports considered ? But have they got rid of the long passage by Dublin and Holy head ? No ; shortened as the passage may be in sum mer to 6 or 7 hours, you must have much more in win ter, when you are now offered from 11 to 31, and choice of lines. "It has been long the misfortune that the cry of the Scotch Railway directors was, when the Government will establish good steamers and fix their port, we will make the railway ; while the Admiralty, on the other hand, ejaculated, `When the directors of the railway company will commence the railroad from Dumfries to the port, then we will make the harbour at Portpatrick more complete, and give the steamers.' "These subterfuges have allowed matters year after year to slumber. But, sir; I humbly but strongly con ceive, as an Irishman, that you, as a Scotchman, are bound by every public and private duty not to let this great object longer slumber or sleep. Take the instant way ; let no niggardly feeling of your Cabinet arrest you from forcing forward—not justice to Ireland alone, as you have announced, by employing her sons in your department and ships, but justice to the crying neglect and wants to those large numbers that are obliged from their duties and adventures to pass that dangerous element, the miseries of which, to those who are unac customed to it, are too well known. _ . " Why not try something immediately ? return to Portpatrick experimentally, until Belfast and Loch Ryan be determined on, act with your own wonted energy and vigour, and, as you have formed and brought together a a glorious specimen of your efforts at Spithead and Portsmouth, extend them to the poor regioes and that class of your countrymen and mine who now claim your powerful protection and decision. "I have the honour to be your obedient servant, " VANE LONDONDERRY. " Sir James Graham, Bart." Letter No. 2. THE LORDS OF THE ADMIRALTY TO THE MARQUIS OF LON, DONDERRy. " Admiralty, 27th Oct., 1853. "My Lord Marquis, ---I am commanded by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to acquaint you that your lordship's letter of the 12th inst., and its enclosures, on the subject of Portpatrick harbour, and the establish ment of the packet service between that place and Donaghadee, have been laid before the B oar d o f Admi ralty by Sir James Graham. " In reply thereto, I am directed to infor m your lord ship that Portpatrick harbour is not neglected, but that a vote of public money has been granted for its immediate repair, and that the work is in progress, under the advice and inspection of a Government engineer. "If the advantages of the short sea passage between Donaghadee and Portpatrick be evidently superior, the board is of opinion that private enterprise cannot fail soon to realise them, in the immediate !neighbour hood of a great mercantile community so wealthy and so enterprising as that of Belfast. " Tbe public has provided additional harbour-room, thus affording two commodious harbours at a great cost, one on each shore, and still maintains them, without harbour dues being exacted by Government. If the wants and commerce of the neighbourhood require the means of transit, private capital will supply them, under the ordinary inducements of profit ; if there be no pro fit, and extraordinary exertions are to be made, the capital alreadyexpended on these two harbours is a liberal contribution on the part of the public, and some local effort must be made to supply the steam accommoda tion. " The board directs me further to observe that Go vernment packets are no longer employed in any part of the United Kingdom, except at Dover ; and there, also, the service is about to bo performed by contract, to the exclusion of Government yessels. " I have the honour to be, my Lord. Marquis, your lordship's most obedient servant, "W. A. B. HAMILTON. " To the Most Hon. General the Marquis of Londonderry, G.C.8., K.G., &c. Letter No. 3.

"I will not recapitulate the arguments in my former letter ; the clear and visible object must now be to obtain the short sea voyage instanter. It is in vain to allow the grass to grow under our feet. For years we have suf fered, and were continually the victims of much serious inconvenience, which your department, and that of the Post-office, in common compassion to us, should have averted. We had small steam packets for a long time, and it is on the records of your office, and ,to the credit, that they never lost a mail or failed in the service during the severest winters. To economise, the former Post master-General (the Marquis of Clanricarde), unmindful THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 19, lB5B. journments ; it involved not only the expense of another meeting, but of a continued allowance to the bankrupt. Mr. C,ox said he should be able to remove any diffi culty on that head, as he was employing the bankrupt to sell these shares, which he did without any com mission. The bankrupt said he should have to devote the whole of his time to the business. His Honour said that should be considered when the allowance was fixed at the next meeting. THE STATE 0 F ITALY. that of humanity, and he disdained to contaminate the f purity of his motive by receiving riches or rewards for his services, and ho lived always in the greatest poverty. In 1847 he returned to Italy. His deeds at Rome are well known. When the siege of Rome was over, and the city taken possession of by the French, he collected about 4,000 of its defenders, and made a rash attempt to cross Italy to the Adriatic, thus hoping to make his way by sea to Venice, where the last ray of Italian liberty still lingered. He was quickly surrounded with Austrian troops from Florence, Bologna, and Ancona, and he reached with difficulty, with a portion of his force, the little republic of San Marino • here 900 men gave up their arms to the authorities of the republic, who, as authori ties of an independent state, proposed to make terms for them with the Austrians. They were, however, made prisoners, and sent to Mantua, many of them first being ignominiously flogged. Garibaldi and about 300 compa nions reached the shore, and embarking during the night on board some fishing boats made sail towards Venice ; as morning dawned the wind fell, and two Austrian steamers were in sight. Some boats were taken, others sunk, and two only, I believe, reached tho shore near RiMini ; in one of these were Garibaldi and his wife, a lady of the Brazils, who had insisted on accompanying her husband on his re treat from Rome. Garibaldi and his companions imme diately separated themselves, as the only chance of escape, and carrying his wife in his arms, who was unable to sup port herself from fatigue, left the shore and went inland. Two days afterwards he appeared at the cottage of a pea sant, still carrying his wife, and asked for water to be given to her, but she expired as he put it to her lips. His companions wore hunted about, and most of them shot down like beasts of chase. Two months later Garibaldi arrived at Genoa, having passed through the midst of the Austrian forces in various disguises, and he who had always refused to enrich himself by war, who disdained self-interest, and defied all perils in devotion to a noble cause, now thinks it no dishonour to earn his living as the captain of a merchant vessel trading between China and America. Ho has been called a brigand and a leader of Condottieri ; but let those who reflect compare Garibaldi with the French and Austrian generals whom he fought against in Italy. Among the companions of Garibaldi who were made prisoners was a priest named Ugo Bassi, who had distinguished himself during the siege of Rome by riding unarmed among the combatants, consoling and assisting the dying and wounded. He was sent to Bo logna, where, by order of the Papal authorities, he had the skin peeled from the crown of his head and from the thumb and two first fingers of his right hand, and, when this Christian-like ceremony was performed—which was considered to remove his priesthood—he was turned over to the Austrians to be shot ! SHERIFF'S COURT, DAC. 17. PASSENGERS FOR AUSTRALIA. An aotion was brought by Mr. Hann and his wife against Sir E. G. Hodgkinson, shipowner, of Cornhill (th• late sheriff), to recover back 151., which had been paid as deposit-money for a passage of the plaintiff's wife before marriage in the ship Emily, to Geelong, in Australia. Mr. Hodgson appeared for th• plaintiff, and Mr. Ellis for the defendant. In the course of last summer the plaintiff's wife (then Helen Courtier) and Miss Mleod were desirous of pro ceeding to Geelong, where they had friends. Mr. Rose, a merchant, of Upper Thames-street, kindly interested himself in their. behalf in affording them protection in his own family, and selecting a ship for their conveyance to Australia. On the Ist of August his attention was called to the following advertisement in a morning paper :—" With immediate despatch, direct for Geelong, the frigate-built ship Emily, 580 tons per register, A 1, coppered, William Wilson, commander, loading in St. Katharine Docks. This ship will take a few interme diate passengers at 25 guineas ; poop-cabin passengers, Kt guineas. For freight or passage apply to the owner, Sir G. E. Hodgkinson and Co., 74, Cornhill." Thinking this would afford a favourable opportunity for the young ladies proceeding to the colony, Mr. Rose waited upon Mr. Clarke, a general shipping agent with a view of making some inquiries about her, and, if satisfactory, to secure passages in her. With the agent's clerk he went down to the docks, and was somewhat surprised to . find the ship unloading. He remarked upon her state ; when he was informed that she would sail in a fortnight ; that her cargo was already waiting to be shipped, and the passengers' accommodation could be arranged in a few hours. Mr. Clarke also saw the defendant's ship ping clerk about securing the berths for the young ladies, who, in answer to his inquiries, was told that the freight was all ready to be shipped, and that she would sail in a fortnight. This was communicated to Mr. Rose, who, upon the faith of these representations, paid 301., as half-passage money, for berths in the cabin. A copy of the dietary scale was also handed to him, show ing that she was put on as a general passenger ship. The 301. was duly paid over to the defendant, and on the fortnight arriving for the vessel to sail, she was found quite in an unfit state to commence the voyage, and it was not till eight weeks after the advertisement that the ship sailed. During this interval Miss Courtier met with a gentleman she had previously known and married him. She then gave up her intention of going to Australia, and a return of 151., being half of the de posit was applied for, but the defendant, Sir George Hodgkinson, positively refused to give back the money. Miss M‘Leod sailed in the vessel. Miss Courtier was quite prepared to have gone off, and would have done so had the ship have sailed within a reasonable time. Mr. Ellis, for the defendant, contended that it was the young lady's marriage which prevented her from leaving England. The ship was advertised to sail with immediate despatch ; a term signifying that she would depart with expedition. The Judge, upon looking at the card, said the vessel was said to be loading, whereas she was unloading. Witness said this was the usual statement when a ship was about to load. The Judge—Then the sooner the statement is done away with the better : a custom of telling lies is a bad one. HI saw an advertisement that a ship was loading, I should never conclude that she was 'unloading. It is clear the deposit was paid upon an agreement that the ship was to sail at a much earlier period. A verdict would therefore be given for the plaintiff for the whole amount-151. and costs. Such was the fate of the remnant of that brave army of volunteers which had defended Rome, composed of men , from all ranks of life, in which the nobleman, the peasant, and youths who had left the peaceful study of professions and the arts, fought side by side, united in love for their country; their courage had been wasted and their force consumed in resisting France, at a moment when most needed against the Austrians. The Austrian power in Lombardy rested on a volcano ready to burst beneath her feet ; the battle of Novara, so suddenly and decisively won, checked its explosion, but it still existed, and such a re sistance to the Austrian fore , s as the French encountered at Rome might at that moment have influenced the fate of Italy. And these defenders of Rome have been calumniated as a baud of desperadoes, of soldiers of adventure, of anar chists, and revolutionists of all nations! In vain the French envoy, Lesseps, wrote to his Government the unwelcome truth, that Rome was defended chiefly by those classes which in Paris defend the cause of order ; he was unheeded in the necessity which the French Government was under of justifying the siege by any means, and imputing it to any motive ° but the true one. The death of Rossi—the act of a single man—was paraded as the crime of a whole people. The man who had come forward almost alone to support by his talent and reputation the Papal Govern ment in its now open hostility to Italian freedom, who had not au ally, who would hardly have found a gendarme to obey him, who stood alone opposed to a whole city, whose power must have fallen of itself in a few days, did more harm to the Romans by his death than he could have done while living. The republic was said to have been founded on an assassination and unworthy to exist, and 2,000 Italians died at Rome to defend it. In Franco the lower and middling classes had learnt to distrust each other; the violence of the Socialists produced a reaction, a retrograde spirit, and Italy suffered for this. Its results were the re-establishment of the Papal authority and the present despotism in France. Should a day of deliverance evessarrive for Italy, it is difficult to foretell what effect it may have upon the Roman Catholic Church. The temporal power of the Popes being wrested frcm them ; their spiritual power would be used without moderation or remorse to recover it, as it is now used for its defence ; hence must arise a re sistance, an opposition to the spiritual power also. That revolutions, that political convulsions generally, retard at the time the progress of civilisation, may be true, yet are they often necessary to freedom. England has passed through civil war and revolutions in her struggle to obtain it, and it is undeniably true that in Italy revo lution is the only road to freedom, the only means of civi lisation. I have endeavoured to show that the cause of I talianfreedom is emphatically that of civilisation struggling against barbarism, of intelligence against ignorance and superstition. Italian insurrection has been condemned also as disturb ing the peace of Europe ; the crime is theirs who render this insurrection just and necessary. If the Peace Society, instead of condemning indiscriminately all war, would de fine and distinguish that which is defensive and that which is aggressive, that which is the slave escaping from his tyrant, the citizen defending his family and his home from the robber and the murderer, and that which is but mur der and robbery on a large scale, they might arrive at a result of more practical utility. If ever the great moral principle, "Do unto others as you would they should do unto you," shall guide the intercourse of nations, there will be universal peace, and not before ; but something might, no doubt, be done by an earnest propagandism of political morality, and by disseminating a knowledge of its princi ples. There are many men who would never be led by self-interest to commit an act of oppression or injustice towards a neighbour who would yet applaud a conquest by which their country has acquired increased power or territory, because they have never thought to view these questions in the great moral light of the welfare of man kind, but only in the restricted sense of their country's glory or advantage. The remarks I have made in this letter, though applying generally to Italy, with the exception of Piedmont, have been suggested more particularly by the state of the Papal dominions and government, and my remarks on the priest hood are not meant to extend at all beyond Italy. I have spoken only of what I know, and I can easily conceive that to the Englida Roman Catholic his religion presents itself under alvery different aspect from that which it is made to assume to the Italian peasant. If I have expressed contempt, it is not meant for the religion itself, as under stood by the intelligent and educated Roman Catholic, but for the adoption of deceit and such vile means as these pretended miracles to obtain power and influence over the ignorant, and for the endeavour to keep the ignorant as they are, that such means may influence them. My object in writing these two letters has been obtained if they have done anything towards creating a sympathy for a cause which I feel convinced is noble and just, and towards preventing the unhappy acts of revenge and as sassination (the effect of the demoralisation produced by oppression) which have taken place, and still sometimes occur in Italy, from being identified with the cause itself, with its justice and its hopes.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, A TRAVELLER IN ITALY. December G. OPENING OF A WINTER GARDEN IN DUBLIN.--On Thursday the Irish Exhibition was opened as a winter garden and promenade. At about two o'clock their Excellencies the Lord-Lieutenant and the Countess of St. Germans, attended by Major Ponsonby, private secretary, and the Hon. Captain Hely Hutchinson, A.D.C. in waiting, arrived at the front of the building in Merrion-square, where they were received by the Lord Mayor, Mr. Alderman Roe, D.L. and Chairman of the Committee ; Sir Edward M‘Donneli, the Lord Mayor Elect ; Colonel Browne, Mr. Dargan, and other members of the committee ; and conducted by those gentlemen, their Excellencies walked up the south side of the great hall to the angle of ascent to the circular dais, which was lately ornamented with statuary. The National Anthem was struck up by six military bands at the moment their Excellencies entered the build ing, and was continued until they reached the extreme end of the hall, which at that time presented a very animated and imposing spectacle. The great hall and the galleries all around were filled with an over flowing and fashionable assemblage. Their Excel lencies proceeded across to the northern side of the hall, and paced about through the building for a considerable time ; after which the carriages were ordered, and the Viceregal party drove back to the Viceregal Lodge. The equestrian statue of the Queen and many other works of art adorn the great central hall. The fountains are in active play at inter vals ; clumps of evergreens and choice exotics from the conservatories of the nobility and gentry are gracefully towering in conical forms, whilst the gallery where the great organ had been erected is elegantly festooned and ornamented with shrubs. It was estimated that there were considerably over five thousand visitors present.

At this crisis he was recommended to try Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which in a very short time produced a change for the better.

REDUCTION OF THE TROOPS IN IRELAND.—We hear from very good authority, that the number of troops in Ireland is to be greatly diminished, and that several regiments will be sent to the Mediterranean. RESIGNATION OF THE DEPOTY-A:DjUTANT-GENERAL.— Major-General Wetherall, whose appointment to be deputy-adjutant-general of the army, was hailed with the general acclamations of the service, has, we much regret to learn, resigned his office. The universal re gards and regrets of the army follow his retirement. Colonel Torrens, from the quartermaster-general's de partment, is named as successor to Major-General Wetherall, as deputy-adjutant-gencral ; and Lietuenant- Colonel Cunynghame, from the ' 27th Regiment, it is stated, will be appointed to the vacancy in the quarter master-general's department. Mf ij or-General Wetherall was offered the adjutantgeneralshap, but he declined it on grounds honourable to him as :an officer and a gentle man. It is stated at the clubs that he is to succeed Major-General Rowan in Canada :as general commanding the forces. Some months must elapse before Sir George Cathcart can enter upon his new duties, and Major- General Wetherall remains to act for a time. Commanding officers of corps in Ireland on leave of absence—Lieut. Colonel Hodge, 4th Dragoon Guards ; Colonel Lord Cardigan, 11th Hussars ; Major Holds worth, 2d depot ; Major Hoey, 30th ; Lieut. Colonel Blake, 33d ; Lieut.-Colonel Munro, 39th ; and Lieut.. Colonel Ferryman, 89th. The 33d Athlone will move to Dublin on being re lieved by the 90th. The 46th Regiment has left• Dublin for Kilkenny, to replace the 62d Foot, ordered to Fermoy. The 9th Foot, at Clonmel, to he replaced by the 13th depot, has left for Fermoy, and they embark at Cork for the Mediterranean. Captain Moore, 19th, is about to retire from the ser vice, and Lieut. Chippendale and Ensign Godfrey will succeed to the vacant steps. The 80th, on its return to England next year, will have four ensigncies to fill, the 51st two, and 18th one. THE COLONELOIES OF MILITIA. —The late Earl of Dartmouth was colonel of the Staffordshire Militia. Upon his decease no colonel in thief has been appointed. Nor will there be any second colonel appointed to future vacancies. In future there will be only one colonel iu each regiment. The lieutenant-colonel will, in reality, therefore, command the regiment, and there will be two majors. The lieutenant-colonel is generally an efficient soldier—a retired officer of the line, whilst the chief was frequently the lord lieutenant of the county himself, old, perhaps without experience, or a young son or nephew, put over the head of an efficient officer. The experience of Lord Palmerston has e nabled him to remedy this, and to secure a greater efficieacy in this constitutional and useful force.— Observer. HER MAJESTY'S REGIACYNTS IN INDIA.—Four of het Majesty's regiments of infazntry in. India are about to be relieved by four others from this country. We under stand that the following is the arrangement for the pur pose. At Madras, the 35th. is to replace the 25th ; in Bengal, the 27th will relieve the 22d ; the 82d will take the place of the 96th, and the 90th that . of the 38th. When the - relieving regimen is will proceed to their desti -1 nations seems to be a mat ter of some doubt. In the best informed circles it appo.a.rs to be thought that this will not he till the spring, at least not with all the regi ments.—Allen's Indian Mail:. STATE 01? TRADE. (From, the Manchester Ouardian of Saturday.) MANCHESTER, Dec. 16.—T7ue purchases have consisted mainly of twist and of the li:7,lter descriptions of cloth suitable for India, and of such yarns and goods as the Greeks take for the Levant. We are glad to find that the makers of domestics are entering more or less into engagements. The heavier and better descriptions of these cloths, however, are still neglected ; as are also the heavier 40-inch shirtings. Fine yarns continue greatly depressed. Some doubled articles, particularly 30's and 40's, are! yet scarce and dear. The German houses are reduced to . small purchases, in the way of assortment, by the ice which now stops nearly all river navigation to their markets. The letters by the overland mail are stated to have arrived in London. The telegraphic statement represents trade in imports as " better at Canton than for some months," and the busi ness in goods at Calcutta as: large, but at Bombay as unsatisfactory. An eminent Bombay firm in this city have read to us a passage from a communication by way of Trieste, which describes the prices obtainable for yarns and goods as below the paying point. BRADTORD, Dec. 15•—Wool : Rather more wool has come to town this week, and prices are a little higher. Yarns—The difficulties of the spinners have evidently been on the increase for some time past. The current price for yarns has ranged so far below the cost, as to bring about an extensive stoppage of frames and short time working, which has been adopted for Some months past, and with no hope of alteration, unless some very decided improvement in the value of yarn can be realised commensurate with the costs. Pieces : There is nothing very active in this department. NOTTINGHAM, Dec. 15.—The commercial affairs of this town are unaltered, the little that is doing both in hosiery and lace goods being quite of a retail character and not worthy of comment. LEICESTER, Dec. 15.—There is more business doing in the warehouses than is usual at this season of the year. After Christmas, it is expected the workmen will get generally employed, as both yarns and wools will by that time get more fixed in price. ROCHDALE, Dec. 12.—We have had but a thin attend ance of buyers to-day. Wool is quite as firm as it was the preceding week. of the evil he entailed on this part of Ireland, was led, together with your predecessor, to carry away from us this advantage, which involved so trifling an expense, by depriving us of any communication between two ports, which their lordships inform me they are thoroughly repairing and still expending money upon. Will you allow me to ask, under these circumstances, for what purpose this outlay is made 1 It is tobe hoped that you And Lord Canning will not allow us still to doubt as to 'what your decision will be on the relative merits of Donaghadee and Portpatrick as contrasted with Belfast and Loch Ryan. "From the numerous representations you will re ceive, there must be strong partisans for each line. I have already endeavoured to represent their merits to you, as well as my own conviction that it is impossible that both lines, with a double set of packets, can be suc cessfully established in this district, and I am equally certain that both must fail if the contest is persevered in and the Government will be so weak as to decide in favour of neither. All me to say, with all respect to the Board, that it is idle to assume that private enterprise must soon realise all that we seek for in this desirable object. Time has already shown how inadequate our capital is fos such objects, and can it be alleged that the Govern ment can in no case aid poor and populous districts in Ireland because the speculation and expenditure will fail to pay ? It is because it does not pay that speculators will not embark their money, and thus the duty of the Government to assist arises, and can it be a reason that because the Government have provided commodious harbours at a heavy cost, they are now to leave them wholly useless for the want of some future aid, which it is clear this part of Ireland cannot supply ? Do the Government conceive that what has already been ex pended on those harbours is so liberal a contribution on their part as to induce the expenditure of private capital on steamers, while it is known that, owing to these har hours not having been completed, as originally intended, they are not at present in a state to receive steamers which could efficiently perform the packet service ? 4 , With respect to the observation of the Board that packets are no longer furnished by the Government in an y part of the United Kingdom, it need only be asked is there any part of the United Kingdom similarly cir cumstanced where so little assistance could accomplish so much ,and where under existing circumstances aid appears to be so justly and imperatively due ? And I • would only direct your attention to the strange anomaly of an arrangement which subjects the mails and passen gers to the risk and inconvenience of a nine hours' pas sage through a turbulent sea, and all the contingencies necessarily resulting from it, in preference to the short and easy passage of three hours by Cairn Ryan, or one and a half by Portpatrick. "And now to conclude this long prose, I would ha plore the Board of Admiralty, and more particularly yourself, to carry into effect, with the least possible de lay, some measure for the accomplishment of this great nautical object. And be assured it will give you more gratification and popularity than striking out further improvement in the steamers plying between Dublin, Holyhead, and Liverpool ; and the Treasury spending more treasure on the Vivids, Ladies Alice and Mauds, going between Dover and Calais for the aristocracy and visitors, and their retinues ; and if our short passage is thus established, it will surely induce her Majesty to visit this portion of her empire, then brought so close to her Highland residence in Scotland.—l remain, my dear Sir J ames, yours very faithfully, "VANH LONDONDERRY. "Sir James Graham, Dart." It was then stated in a communication from Sir James Graham, not official _ _ " That the proposition and its adoption depended on the will of Parliament, and on the controlling power of the Treasury ; and Sir James Graham could not ask them to reverse a decision so recently taken, after full description and after a careful review of the merits of the case." In reply to the above, Lord Londonderry addressed to Sir James Graham the following letter : "Mount-Stewart, 26th Nov., 1853. "My dear Sir James—You are always very kind in your expressions of friendship and personal considera tion •towards me, but in the present case this business has taken a public and official turn. I can make no use of your private communication, as I look for seine official answer on the laws of the Admiralty, and the case will then stand before the public at large, and will afford, I hope, fresh fuel to that fire that I shall not fall to keep up on her Majesty's Government and Parlia ment as long as I have any power to wield my humble pen, or means of public expression of my' opinions. " I know the will of Parliament must be bowed to, but I know also a continued agitation on a just and good cause (to wit, Free Trade, itc.), overcomes in the end mistaken economy, and obstinate misconception. "I know, also, that talking of some few thousand pounds outlay for the Treasury of Great Britain, for a substantial national object for her Majesty'o liege sub jects in Ireland, is what our poor lost duke would de nominate a farce. " I shall wait your official answer before our friends in Belfast move further. May I beg you will not delay it, if you think it right to send any reply. There was a large meeting at Donaghadee yesterday, but this will have no result. All must unite in one cause, and one course.---Believe me always, yours most sincerely, " VANE LONDONDERRY. " Sir James Graham, Dart., &c." No further communication having been received, up to the 10th December inst., from the Admiralty, it was thought right to publish the foregoing correspondence, in consequence of great public and general meetings at Belfast of all the northern gentry, merchants, and pub lic men, on this most important subject. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-DEC. 17. IN RR TREDINNICK.-CASE 07 A MINING SHAREBROKER This was the last examination meeting in the case of Richard Tredinnick, described as of "No. 6, Haymar ket, sharedealer, dealer in shares, dealer and chapman." The accounts, which are very voluminous, have been prepared by Messrs. Harding and Pullein ; they extend from the 18th March, 1851, to 3rd November last, the date of the failure, and occupy 49 folios. They comprise a statement of the bankrupt's affairs in March, 1851, when he appears to have had a surplus of 491. The position of the estate at the time of the former bank ruptcy is also detailed at great length, The former bankruptcy having been superseded, most of the lia bilities under it have revived. The balance-sheet is in the following form :- Dr.-To creditors unsecured, 7,4041- 13s. Bd. ; credi tors for calls on shares, 3,8931. 4s. Bd. (see contra) ; creditors holding security, 6,5161. 9s. 10d. ; liabilities, 3,3541. 4s. 4d. ; surplus, March 18, 1851, 891. 7s. ld.; profits on shares, 17,0121. 19s. 11d. ; sundries, 389. 13s. ; profit rental, 1111. 12s. 10d. ; difference in books, ld.-Total, 34,879/. Os. 9d. Cr.-By debtors, good, nil ; doubtful, 571/. 2s. 9d. ; bad (carried to losses), 2,6801. Os. 10d. ; household fur niture, &c., realised 1551. 6s. ld. ; shares, estimated to realise, after deducting calls due, 8001. ; property held by creditors, 7,542/. ; liabilities and per contra, 3,3541. 4s. 4d. ; trade expenses, 2,324 l 10s. ld. ; interest and discount, 1,4241. 13s. 4d. ; law charges, 1,4681. 4s. 2d. ; house and personal expenses, 1,5361. 18e. id. ; ex penses under former bankruptcy, 4581. Os. 6d. ; pro bable depreciation in shares given up to the assignees, 2,5061. ss. 4d. ; losses, 7,7431. 9s. 6d. ; ditto on shares, 4,9941. 6s. 7d. ; total, 34,8791. Os. 9d. The unsecured creditors are numerous, and of small amount, only two of their debts exceeding 5001. The credi tors for calls on shares are the Leeds Town Consols Mine, the North Cornwall Mining Company, andthe South Ding Dong Mine. The bankrupt appears to have discounted largely • amongst the losses is an item of 3,439/. in re spect of some acceptances of Mr. Hennett's, which the bankrupt discounted, and for which he had to provide on Hennett's failure. From the detailed statements of profit and loss on the various share transactions, it would appear that the bankrupt had dealt in about 60 different kinds of mining shares. The petitioning creditor under the bankruptcy was Mr. W. Cox, solicitor, of Pinner's Hall, Old Broad street. The act of bankruptcy was a declaration of in solvency, signed by Mr. Treddinnick on the 3rd of November. At the meeting for the choice of assignees held on the 19th ult., debts to the amount of 1,7001. were proved, and Mr. Benjamin Pidwell Bathen, mining broker, of Crown-court, Old Broad-street, (a creditor for 1551. for money lent), was chosen t r ad e assignee. Mr. Cox, •n behalf of the assignees, asked for an ad journment of the last examination meeting, as the ac counts had only been filed on the preceding day. It was a very extensive failure ; and the accounts com prised a tremendous mass of figures. The Commissioner -Here again I am asked for an ad journment. We never pass an examination now on the day fixed for it. How is this? Mr. Nicholson, the official assignee, said the accounts involved an enormous mass of figures, and would require careful investigation. The Commissioner-Never mind the mass of figures. What do you say as to the mass of property ? Mr. Nicholson said there was some property. Mr. Cox believed the amount of assets realised would depend entirely on the exertions of the banknoti mines, consisted of shares in an immense number e which were depsited with creditors, and some of them might be of very large value. The assignees were entirely dependent on the exertions of the bankrupt in this matter ; and he was bound to say that since coming into that court he had used the ut most diligence in endeavouring to realise the property of his estate, and had already succeeded, in several in stances, in getting rid of a parcel of' shares which were not supposed to be worth a shilling. The assignees would readily assent to any reasonable adjournment, believing that the bankrupt had been very diligent in deed in the preparation of his accounts, and that much time had been necessarily consumed in their preparation. The Commissioner--What is the date of the adjudica tion ? _ _ Mr. Cox—The 4th of November. The Commissioner--Well, that is not a long time. What time will you require to examine the accounts ? Mr. Cox—l think a month will enable us to make the investigation. The books, I understand, have been re markably well kept by double entry. The bankrupt said the accounts were as perfect as he could make them ; he did not think they would require amendment. He had gone carefully through the ac counts ; he understood them, and was satisfied that they were correct. The Commissioner—Then let the examination stand adjourned for a month. Mr. Cox, in the absence of Mr. Lawrance, who was instructed for the bankrupt, asked for an allowance, and again referred to the assistance which the bankrupt had rendered the assignees. _ - His Honour said the question had better stand over until the assignees had examined the accounts. That was another reason why he was averse to granting ad- TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sis,—ln my former letter, published in The Times of the 3d, I concluded by asserting that, in Italy, it was no torious that all the power which the priesthood possesses over the conscience, as ministers of religion, is exerted for a political purpose. As far as the Papal States are con cerned, this may be said to be no more than the inevitable result of the union of spiritual and temporal dominion in the same person, or in a privileged caste. Resistance to the temporal power of the Sovereign Pontiff becomes a crime against the Church—against religion ; and religion uses her power to prevent or punish it. It may well be doubted if the great influence of the Roman Church, which professes to be invested with a divine and infallible autho rity, which requires that faith should be an absolute and servile submission to that authority, forbidding liberty of investigation and of conscience, can be reconciled in any country with the development of free institutions and the progress of civilisation, and it is certainly impossible in the country where all political. as well as spiritual power is wielded by those who claim this divine authority—this in fallibility. One great cause of the success of the Refor mation was, undoubtedly, the need which began to be felt in Europe in the 16th century of a religion which could be reconciled with liberty of reason and of the mind, with the dawn of modern civilisation, which is no return to a civi lisation of past ages, but is marked by the progress of science, by intellectual activity, and by a general spirit of investigation and research. Those who have thought it possible to limit the tem poral authority of the Sovereign Pontiff, leaving him as representative of Christ in his spiritual character, and with limited and controlled authority as a temporal Sove reign, have aimed at uniting two characters inconsistent with each other—the one, in its immense pretension of Vicegerent of the Deity, having power superior to aught in this world ; the other subject to the humiliation of con trol ; and it seems to me, they little comprehend or appre ciate the nature and character of the Roman Church. It is unchangeable ; it represents on this earth the very prin ciple of divine right and absolute authority ; it claims to be infallible in all it does, and its temporal sovereignty is defended by the same decrees which have declared its reli gious doctrines. Temporal power might bo wrested from the Sovereign Pontiff, but he could not relinquish his claim to it. The Pope who really consented to an act in such violent opposition to the sacred traditions and decrees of the Church would be another Luther. I remember, dur ing the time of the greatest popularity of the present Pope, when he yielded some show of free institutions to his sub jects, there were many at Rome who prophesied that he must soon prove himself either a traitor to his Church or a traitor to his country. I am far from denying the obligation which the cause of civilisation owes to the Roman Church in the middle ages, as the depository of learning, and in opposing its softening influence to the ferocious and warlike barbarism of the times ; and Italy, perhaps, owed her independence to the existence of a power which could serve as a balance to that of the German Emperors. But, while Europe has pro gressed in civilisation, the Roman Church has remained the same. When great intellectual superiority exists in a privileged caste, its authority is easily regarded as legiti mate by the masses • it may be really beneficial, and, could Europe go back a thousand years, the influence of the Ro man Church might be again advantageous to mankind, and its temporal power in Italy legitimate and beneficial. In the consciousness of this fact is to be found the source of the s etrograde spirit of the Roman Government. The Church, unchangeable in itself, can regain a legitimate in fluence only by the return of Italy to barbarism. This conviction, and a system of government founded upon it, were considered, after the fall of Napoleon, to be tho doc trines and principles of a strong party in the Church, known by the name of the " Sanfedisti ;" but the very name of this party is now lost, as its opinions and principles have become those of the Church itself. Let us now see the system that the Church adopts to carry out these principles. In its persecution of the middling class it wages war against intelligence and education—the war of barbarism against modern civilisation ; and, though it may neither hope for nor aim at the extermination of this class, it evidently purposes to lesson its influence by a posi tive and palpable diminution of its numbers, and this prin cipally by the immense extent of compulsory or voluntary exile. This is the system as regards the present generation ; for the future it trusts to the severe laws which place edu cation completely in the hands of the clergy. No other moans of education are permitted to exist • had a father time or ability to instruct his children himself, the fact of his doing so would render him an object of persecution. Even if ho attempts to counteract the growing impressions instilled into them by their instructors, he must teach them at the same time concealment and deceit, lest they should unintentionally betray his doing so. With the lower orders a different policy is adopted, and it is here that the influence of religion is used to confirm and extend the political power of the Church. Hence we find, during the last three years an increased pomp and frequency of religious ceremonies and processions, while miracle MC- , ceeds miracle with unheard of rapidity, and these are gene rally absurd and palpable in their imposture, in proportion to the remoteness and obscurity of their scene. The mi racle of the picture of the Madonna at Rimini is known to most of your readers. I happen to have kept, as a e,u riosity, a description of it, extracted from the Osservatore Romano, and from the account of it given by the Bishop of Rimini. After describing the nature of the miracle, viz.— the movement of the eyes, it says how the church was thronged with an immense concourse of people, the peasantry from the surrounding country ; it speaks of the groans, the tears, and sighs,—one dignitary of the Church wept, while another swooned ; an Austrian general and two other officers came from Bologna, and the two officers (such is the account given) took the orders from their breasts to lay at the foot of the Madonna ; the peasant women stripped themselves of their earrings and the golden ornaments they are accustomed to wear, to offer them upon the altar. Towards evening, when some of the peasantry had retired to their houses and the church was less crowded, a number of the citizens of Rimini, and among them all the artists of the city, entered the church—and imagine for what purpose ! (The following I quote):—" Oh, unheard of wickedness ! These children of Beelzebub— these regenerators of Italy—these satellites of hell—these disciples of Mazzini— these Protestants came into the church positively to laugh at what they termed the cre dulity of the lower orders (basso popolo). The Blessed Virgin then condescended to let fall one tear from her right eye. She weeps for them,—and they insult her !" The account then goes.on to state bow one of these " re generators of Italy" cried aloud, " Oh ! the bells machi netta ;" and another, " a wretch worse than the devil," laid his sacrilegious hand upon the picture and tried to look behind it. During the night the citizens fixed writings on the walls of the city, endeavouring to per suade the lower orders not to believe in the miracle, and trying to explain in what way it was done. The account then quotes St. Augustin, Signs dantur infidelibus," and gives the people to understand that these frequent miracles are warnings of great calamities hanging over Italy on account of the spread of liberal opinions and the neglected worship of the Madonna, I quote this, not to amuse your readers, but to show wh o are th e believers ie these things, and the intention and spirit of their authors. The Roman Church in Italy has for a long time found its firmest partisans among the very lowest of the people, earl has availed itself without scruple of their aid. In the year 1831 there was an insurrection which extended almost throughout the Roman states, except in Rome itself. It encountered neither opposition nor resistance. The insur gents behaved with moderation ; they created a national guard of citizens, and their principal demands were a cer tain limitation of the authority of the priesthood, and the continuance of this national guard as a guarantee against the oppression and abuses from which they had suffered. An Austrian army thoroughly subdued this insurrection, and the people were disarmed. But this did not suffice for priestly vengeance. Under the name of " Centurions," or "Papal Volunteers," certain corps were raised by Cardinal. Albani, composed of brigands from the mountains, assas sins, and culprits of all kinds from the prisons, the very refuse of the people ; oaths were administered them by prelates of the Church, that they would pursue the Liberals to extermination. Now, as nearly all the subj ec t s o f th e Pops were liberal except these wretches and the clergy, there was a wide field for massacre. Town after town was taken possession of as by a besieging army, while the victims were selected and the work of plunder and massacre was pursued, hundreds of persons were assassi nated, sometimes whole families destroyed, and those vile and wretched instruments of the Papal Government were taught to believe, and did believe, that these crimes served the cause of religion and of God. The first violence of these excesses gradually abated, but the Centurions were not entirely put down until the accession of Pius IX., and, so strong is the recollection of their atrocities and of the class of men who composed these bands, that to the pre sent day, in some parts of the Roman States, the term " brigand" is indiscriminately used for a siipporter of the Papal authority, or for a robber and assassin. I have heard these things related in the country where they hap pened, but they are well known to those who are familiar with modern Italian history, and I refer to them only to show who are the Liberals or Revolutionists of Italy, and who are their opponents. During the existence of the Roman Republic, emissaries from Gaeta went about the provinces endeavouring to in fluence the superstition of the lower orders, and again ex cite a Jacquerie against the Liberals ; such documents as the following were ,circulated among the peasantry : " Republicans or Liberals mean only men who would de stroy oar religion itself and all its ministers. Gather your selves together, and plunge your weapons into the hearts of those enemies of God, and pray to Him that He will de stroy them utterly, even their very infants—exterminate their race." These emissaries did not succeed in their ob ject, or but very partially; yet, is it to be wondered at, when these things are considered, that the Liberal cause was sometimes stained, as at Imola and Ancona, by the assassination of persons who were known as supporters or spies of the fallen Government ? Saffi, who was Minister of the Interior under the Republic, in enjoining upon the authorities of Ancona the most severe measures for the punishment and repression of these assassinations, wrote thus :—" The perpetrators of these crimes are traitors to the Republic, and ruin the work of an entire people in the cause of their redemption ; every act of illegality or of violence which bears the stamp of political revenge is an execrable relic of past times, and an imitation of the crimes off priestly Government." If the Italians must remain enslaved until they have ar rived generally at that state of moral greatness and magna nimity that, in casting off their oppressors and tyrants, they shall commit no act of unnecessary violence, stoop to no deed of revenge, then may they despair of liberty. There is no instance in history of a whole people rising at once, pure and great, from a long anti degrading oppres sion. Must all remain passive victims, lest among them there should prove to be some who have been rendered un fit for liberty by the very wrongs, injustice, and degrada tion they have suffered ? Can it be said that the very crimes of a Goveynment shall render it a crime in its subjects to rebel? Shall that beautiful country, shall those born beneath its bright sky—in whom a natural in telligence, a sense of the beautiful, a poetical element, may be traced even beneath the grossest ignorance, remain for ever as they are ? Nature would have them great,— shall priestly despotism and foreign domination degrade them into a nation of priests, brigands, and beggars ? Among those Italians who have most been the victims of calumny and misrepresentation is Garibaldi. During the siege of Rome he was represented in the French papers, and sometimes in the English, as a leader of Condottieri, a brigand, a pirate, a chief of assassins. Listen for a mo ment to his history. Born in the middling rank of life, he was obliged to fly, when still young, from his native city, Genoa, during a persecution of the sect of Carbonell, of which he was a member. He afterwards went to the Brazils with the object of engaging in some commercial undertaking, but, devoted to the cause of liberty, he soon joined a small band of Italian refugees who wore serving as volunteers in Montevideo, defending the cause of liberty and the Republic. His desperate courage, his personal prowess as a soldier, and his heroism, never stained by any act of cruelty, made him the theme and admiration of the country ; he quickly rose to the rank of general. But Garibaldi was more than a warrior. If he took away life, it was from devotion, to a cause which he believed, to be POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOuSE.—Dig•. V. De Tacquiere was sum. moned before the Lord Mayor under the following cir. cumstanees : Isaac W. Davis, general postman, said—My duty is in Fenchurch-street, and, amongst others, I deliver letters to the defendant. I have had some difficulty with respect to the postage of my letters, in consequence of which I determined not to leave thorn. On the 9th of December I went with some foreign letters to the de fendant's office, and offered them to a person there de manding the postage, and I could not get it at first. The door was slammed in my face, and I was called opprobrious names several times, in consequence of not leaving the letters without the postage. The defendant put his fist in my face, and I left his office, and was fol lowed by him and another person, which person said I could not pass without giving up the letters. I said that I did not want to retain the letters, that I only wanted the postage, and that I would not deliver them without receiving the duty upon them. He then asked me to give him change of a 5/. note. He pulled out a purse, but he did not open it, nor did he show me any note or money. During all this time I was on the stairs a little above him, and he pushed me down the stars, and he caught me by the collar, and said I should not pass with out giving him his letters, and made a grasp at them in my hand. I said he should not have them till he paid the postage. Some gentlemen on the second floor called out, to induce him to refrain from striking me. The defendant declared that the statement was un true ; that he had not struck the official at all ; that he was most desirous to get his letters, and that he had no intention of avoiding the payment of the postage. The postman said that the postman from another dis trict from which the defendant recently had removed, made a communication to him, in consequence of which he considered it necessary not to leave the letters ad dressed to the defendant without immediate payment of the postage. Alderman Wilson said he was quite satisfied that the charge had been substantiated. The defendant, although a foreigner, must have known that the duty of a postman required him to obtain the payment of the postage of letters. The defendant was then fined 205., which he imme diately paid. LAMBETH.—Mr. Samuel Kelly, a middle-aged man, of respectable appearance, residing at No. 12, Thomas's terrace, Jane-street, Old Kent-road, and who was re presented to be the proprietor of a printing establish ment in the vicinity of Doctors'-commons, was brought up in custody, and placed at the bar before the Hon. G. C. Norton, charged 'with the commission of a violent assault upon the person of the Rev. Robert Gibson, who described himself as the proprietor of the Grammar School, in East-lane, Walworth, and was represented to be an independent Wesleyan preacher. The complainant, a small man, about 33 years of age, who wore a large cloak, had his head enveloped in a shawl, and seemed to have lost a quantity of blood, said that, on the preceding evening, the prisoner walked into his school, and, without saying a word to him, struck him first several times with a thick stick, and then with the fire-shovel, inflicting a deep wound on his forehead, from which he had lost a quantity, he should think quite a pint of blood. In his cross-examination, by a clerk from the offices of Mr. Hick, who attended on behalf of the prisoner, Mr. Gibson said, " I have had the school that I now keep since October ; before that, I had charge of an In dependent chapel in Bethnal-green, and was known as the Rev. Mr. Gibson. I knew the defendant's wife at that time ; she frequented my chapel ; I knew she was a married woman, and had a family. I left that chapel six months ago ; I was not turned out of it on account of my living with the defendant's wife ; I will swear that, and that I left of my own accord. I have no answer to give to the question, as to whether at the time I left the chapel I was living with this man's wife or not. Two lads, scholars of the complainant's school, said they saw the prisoner strike their master two or three times on the head with the stick produced. The prisoner's advocate said, that some years ago, the wife of Mr. Kelly unfortunately became a member of the complainant's congregation, and in the end he (Gibson) succeeded in seducing her. The husband having con firmatory proof of the fact, turned his wife out of doors, but latterly, on account of his five children, and wish ing to reclaim her from her improper courses with her seducer, took her home, but had not taken her to his bed. Mr. Isaac Morgan, a house-agent, said, he had many dealings with Mr. Gibson, and entertained so good an opinion of him, that he was about to take a chapel in the neighbourhood, which was to let, and make him minister of it. Having heard something, however, pre judicial to his moral character, and of his living with the wife of the defendant, he spoke to him on the subject, but he denied it all, and said the reports were gross calumnies. He also saw the defendant on the subject, and he not only declared that the reports respecting his wife were true, but that he was prepared to confront Gibson. On the evening before witness and the defend ant went to the complainant's school, and, leaving Kelly outside he went in and again questioned Mr. Gibson on the subject of Mrs. Kelly, and again he denied the truth of the report. Witness said that Kelly was present to prove the truth, and the complainant said it was a slander. 11 y said here "You approached knew them, ver andy well yeu addressing have Mr. Gibse ß n e , seduced my wife, and have lived with her." Mr. Gib son replied, " You are a liar and get out of my place," and at the same time rushed to the fire-place, and took up the shovel. A rencontre took place, and blows were g i v en ; but as witness was between both, and was endea vouring to separate them, he could not say by whom. One of the lads who hb.d been before examined corro borated the last witness, that it was the complainant who took up the fire-shovel, the instrument by which his wound had evidently been inflicted. Mr. Norton observed that the wound appeared to him e t e r o a u s f u c t h e a r r e a c d t e a y r : b a u n t d e h h e e u s h l do notul d object to good bail. tthoebreefoorfearesommanewdhtha et dcase g soner was liberated.

The epidemic is confined chiefly to the dirtiest part of the town, where the greatest want of sanitary regulations is apparent. The town has been divided into five districts, which undergo domi ciliary inspection daily by competent medical officers. The returns to the 13th inst. report 80 fatal cases, mostly poor persons, and the disease was then slightly on the decline, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
