IRELAND. DUBLIN, Nov. 18.— Ihe country papers, received this day, have less than the usual quantity of outrages of a serious character. They are amply supplied, however, with attacks on dwellings, searches for arms, and stealing cattle. In one parish in Clare the following outrages were committed within a few huurs—a clear proof that Sir Robert Peel's antici pations are likely to be realised, and that the failure of the potato would elevate the taste of the Irish peasant to a superior description of food : On Thursday two sheep, the property of James Lynch, were killed and the bodies taken away. Same night three sheep, the property of John M‘Mahon,"met a similar fate. On the same night a cow, the property of Mr. Terence Healy, was killed, the head and hide left behind and the body taken away. On Friday night two sheep, the property of Denis Glynn, with one belonging to John Kenny, and one belonging to Thomas Lynch, were similarly dis posed of. On Saturday an excellent heifer, value 8/., belong ing to Mr. Patrick Lyons, near Clare, was killed, the torque and carcase carried away, and the head left behind. On the same night a bullock, the property of Mr. James, of Buncraggy, met a similar fate. On Sunday night between two and three stacks of wheat, belonging to Mr. James Brazil, of Lisduff, ere taken off his farm at Ballycorrick. On the same night a small stack of corn was taken from Michael Hastings, of Reladine, into one of his fields, where the ears were cut off and taken away. STATE OF THE COUNTRY. The Limerick Examiner says—" A placard was posted up on the chapels of Templebraden and Pal lasgrean, on Sunday, calling on the parishioners to meet in numbers, and intimidate Mr. Kearney, the county engineer, to procure employment. This notice the Rev. Mr. Mahony took down, and sub sequently spoke from the altar of its mischievous tendency." A notice was posted at Moher, on Sunday, threat ening Thomas Mulling, steward of Sir Matthew Bar rington, with death, if he acted too strictly over quarrymen.—Limerick Chronicle. COUNTY OF CLARB.—An attempt at assassination was made at Miltown Malbay a few evenings ago by a villain whop fired at a visitor, who was taken for a ma gistrate of the county Clare. Notices were posted in the village of Cappamore on Sunday, calling on the peasantry to assemble on the 16th—statingthat they would remain no longer in a starving state, but try their remedy like men. No meeting, however, took place.—Limerick Chronicle. THE LATE ATTEMPT TO SHOOT Ma. GAILTEY 7 J.P.—lt is not true, as stated by several journalq, that a person is in custody for firing at Mr. Garvey and wounding Constable Dobbyn. We are also happy to add that Dr. Waters, who is attending Dobbyn in the hospital of this town, does not consider it necessary to amputate the left arm. He is pro gressing favourably. The police party at Moneygall is increased. THE LATE MURDER OF Ma. LUCAS.—Two of the persons who were arrested on suspicion with this horrible murder are still detained in custody for fur ther examination. Their names are John Scott and Patrick Grady. POOR-LAW PROCEEDINGS.—The Poor.law guar dians of Athlone have refused to strike a rate for out door relief. Warm. FIRE RatstxG.—Yesterday afternoon Mr William Payne resumed, at the White Swan, Old Kent road, the adjourned inquiry respecting the fire which occurred on the 27th ult., upon the premises belonging to Mr. Bailey, in Swan-lane, Old Kent-road. The evi dence given on the present occasion was unimportant, being merely corroborative of that given on the former days, and throwing no fresh light on this mysterious affair, and after deliberating, the jury returned a verdict That the house was wilfully set on fire by some person or persons unknown." THE GLASS TRADE.—On the Tyne the glass trade is in a very depressed condition. At South Shields, the principal seat of this industrial art, the works of Swin bourne and Co. are working short time; the South Tyne works are closed altogether. The cause of this stag nation is the :present money panic in part, and partly the overproduction of the article.— Sunderland Herald. NOVEL MODE Or CATCHING OWLS.—A curious circumstance occurred on the Birmingham and Glou- , cester Railway on Friday evening. The mail train, which leaves Gloucester for Birmingham at nine o'clock at night, had shortly passed the Spetchley station, tra velling at the rate of about forty miles an hour, when a singular looking bird alighted on the steam dome of the ' engine, and remained there as if transfixed. Fox, the engine driver, after recovering from his astonishment, succeded in capturing it, when it was found to be a beau tiful;yellow owl. It had doubtless been attracted by the brilliant brass of the dome, and fascinated by the glare of light and the rapidity of the train, had been unable to resume its flight. The guard took possession of the bird, and brought it with him to Birmingham, per fectly uninjured.—Birminyhani Journal. Perhaps one of the most uncontrollable little streams in this part of the county is the Bleng, at Gos forth, as the mischief it not unfrequently commits upon the adjoining grounds will amply testify. It is unfortu nate, however, that in some parts of its course the bed of the stream is even higher than the adjoining ground, and the water is retained within its bounds by embankments on each side. Such being the case, on occasions when the stream is much swollen, it not unfrequently happens that the water makes breaches in the earthen barriers, and the low ground is forthwith laid under water to a considerable depth. Such was especially the case on Friday last. The Bleng having forced away the earthen mounds on its banks, the water made its way across se veral meadows, and flooded the road between Park Nook and Gosforth, to a depth in many places of nearly two feet, and for at least 100 yards in extent. It was Gosforth fair day, and in order that parties on foot might not be disappointed a female was stationed with a I.orse and cart in order to convey them along the flooded road, on which the water was running with a rapidity quite sufficient to deter females at least from attempting to make their way through. Nearly the whole of the week, we understand, foot passengers have either had to wade through the flood, knee deep, or go round by Thornhank—an inconvenience which ought not to have been so long suffered to exist, as the breach ought most certainly to have been repaired at the ear liest moment the state of the water would have admitted. We have had several complaints on the subject, some in a very angry and threatening tone, condemning the sur veyor of the highways for his supineness in suffering the road to remain in an impassable state for several days in succession. We hope this intimation will have the de sired effect, and induce that useful parish official to get the breach in the embankment repaired without loss of time, and thereby confine the water to the bed of the river.— Cumberland Pacquet. The will of the late Lieutenant-General Sir Henry Askew, C. 8., of the Grenadier Guards, of Pallinsburn Reuse, Northumberland, and of Coldstream, North Britain, was proved in London on the sth of Novem ber, by his brothers, Richard and Hugh Askew, Esqrs., the executors.

The will is dated August, 16th, 1843, and two codicils in the years 1845 and 1846. :Sir Henry died on the 25th of June last, at the city of Cologne, at the age of 72.

EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.—A CASE von liivEsTIGATION.—On Wednesday night, as the eight o'clock train on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Rail way was about to leave the station here, two farm ser vants, apparently in a state of intoxication, attempted to force themselves into a third-class carriage, already fell- On being remonstrated with, they struck and 'bused the passengers in the carriages, who were ulti mately forced to come out and eive them into the cuss " of the guards , and some other o ffi cial, who, th t he astonishment td ' of the passengers, said they had nothin g so the same more o with it, and allowed them to return passengers. ut Se e, and to renew their attacks upon the ;he offensling partiesvweralparties then interfered, and forced into au empty carriage, and proceeded on the e i r r e singing and making a mighty noise.

On Wednesday .11rum- DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN GLASGew.— Dight fire broke out in the iron foundry of Mes_srs mond and Co., situated in Canning-street, Calton, which speedily assumed an alarming appearance. The Calton engine was promptly on the spot, but it became evident from the first that there was no h o p e of saving that part of the building in which the fire had originated. The G lasgowg brigade, under the man e e- jnent o f the interim s u perintendent, Mr. Macfarlane, and the West of En gl an d t d to ev t •f their efforts were from im spre ading further. The mill mediately tree pen e r , the fire possible, of Messrs. Dunlop and Sons, being in close contact from catching hold of Kith the back wall of the foundry, it was of primary importance to keep . the . flames_ wooden their premises, and in this the firemen were, fortunately, successful.

A meeting of the Spanish Bondholders was yester day held at the London 'Tavern, Bishop gate-street, for the purpose cf considering the presen position of their affairs, and what measures it was expedient to adopt. The chair was taken at one o'clock by Demp ster Hemming, Esq. The CHAIRMAN said, that since he had last had the honour of addressing the meeting, although they had not arrived at the goal which they sought to obtain, still they were not in a worse position than they were before. They had to deal with a perfectly solvent nation, and another great cause of thank fulness was that the debts contracted by the Spanish nation had never been repudiated or disowned ; they had been upon many occasions ac knowledged by that nation in its interviews with this country. The bondholders of this country were lately told by one of the Spanish Ministers (Senor Mon), through Lord Aberdeen, that Spain would honourably fulfil its engagements. It was to be re gretted that the Spanish nation were proverbially slow in their conduct, and their constant maxim was " to-morrow, to-morrow." Owing to events which had taken place in the country while Senor Mon was in power, he was led to believe that it was owing entirely to the pressure of other business that Senor Mon had not fulfilled the promises which he had previously made.—(Cries of " No, no.") He dif fered with the Hon. Gentleman who said no ; he thought that if the promises made by that nobleman could have been carried out they would have been carried out. With respect to Senor Salamanca it was quite evident that he could do nothing, for he held office upon a mere tenure. A firm Government was now established in Spain, and he hoped that under that Government some active measures would be taken for the re-payment of the just debts due to the Spanish bondholders.—(Hear.) Lord Palmerston stated in the House of Commons, last session, that there were bounds beyond which the patience of the British Government could not be extended to those nations who refused to act honestly towards its subjects. Under these circumstances he thought that the course for the meeting to adopt would be to agree that a deputation of the bondholders should wait upon Lord Palmerston with a view to elicit from him his views upon the course which he thought it advisable for them to:adopt.—(Hear,hear.) He did not consider that any good would result from the indulgence of violent language in characterizing the conduct of the Spanish Government towards its unfortunate creditors. There was no doubt a considerable degree of irritation upon the subject, but he trusted that upon the present occasion the use of all violent language would be avoided. Mr. STOKES (the secretary) then read a letter, addressed by the London Committee of the Spanish Bondholders to Sir H. L. Bulwer (the English Am bassador at Madrid), during the time that Senor Salamanca was placed at the head of affairs in that country. When the letter, however, arrived in Spain, Senor Salamanca had been dismissed from his post, and the present Ministry under Narvaez had, been formed. The letter contained the basis of the terms which the bondholders were willing to offer as a settlement of their debt. The terms were—first, an equivalent amount of stock, bearing a reduced rate of interest for the principal and overdue interest of the Five per Cent. Bonds, with proportionate al lowance for the Deferred and Passive Debt due to the Spanish bondholders of this country. Secondly, security against all secret or illicit issue of new stock in future in Spain under any pretence or denomina tion whatever. Thirdly, that any new arrangement with the public creditors of Spain should be made the subject matter of a convention between the Govern ments of Spain and England. Dr. KEYZER, advocate, of Amsterdam, in an able and eloquent speech, denounced the con duct of the Spanish Government in withhold ing the payment of their debts, and con cluded by moving the following resolution : " That this meeting cannot but lament that no steps have yet been taken by the Spanish Government to liquidate the long pending claims of the foreign bondholders, and whilst thus expressing their regret, they feel that they shall not do justice to the claims of the bondholders unless they represent to the Spanish Government how many years the bondholders have suffered the deprivation of all interest on their capital, which in many instances has fallen most severely on the widow and orphan. That this meeting cannot refrain from observing that during the few past years the revenues of Spain have nearly doubled in amount, and that, notwithstanding its improvement, the only payment yet made to the foreign bondholders on account of their in terest is the small amount of dividends on the Three per Cents., arising from the capi talization of overdue Five per Cent. coupons in 1840. 'That this meeting, aware of the ability of the Spanish Government, in the improved state of its revenues, to provide for the interest of the foreign as well as domestic debt, trusts that a sense of justice will at length induce them to perform this imperative duty, and that one of the first steps of the Cortes, at its present session, will be to provide funds for the settlement of the claims of its foreign bond holders." Mr. TASKER seconded the resolution. Mr. Caren supported the resolution ; and in doing so stated that the revenue of Spain would amount for the present year to nearly 14,000,0001., and it was therefore imperative upon that country, under such improved circumstances, to provide for the payment of its just debts to the foreign bondholder. Mr. Manost moved, as an amendment, " That this meeting is fully convinced, after a mature examina tion of facts, that the several Administrations of Spain during the last twelve years (with the exception of those in the interval of Espartero's regency), have each and all been guilty of a deliberate, gra tuitous, and systematic violation of their engage ments with the British bondholders ; that in every pecuniary transaction with this body, the Adminis trations have proved themselves as regardless of ap pearances as of truth and rectitude, and as little capable of placing a just value upon the patience and forbearance of the British creditors as of appreciating what was due to the dignity of the ancient and once powerful people over whom they were appointed to rule. That the conduct of Senor Mon, whilst Finance Minister of Spain, is deserving of the special repre hension of this meeting, inasmuch as although he raised upon the Spanish people a larger sum in an nual contributions than they had ever before paid, amounting to upwards of twelve millions sterling, and although he declared in public Cortex that there was a considerable surplus applicable to the part liquidation of the for e ign d e bt, y e t h e never a p p li e d one shilling of these twelve millions, nor of that sup ' posed surplus tr the payment of the same ; but, on the contrary, he added very largely to the permanent engagements of his country, by consolidating into a Three per ent.Stocic the enormous demands of domestic contractors and money lenders, to the prejudice of the preexisting claims of the bondholders. That the :said Minister, in refusing or neglecting, during the four years he was in office, to make use of the power to settle the debt which he had demanded and procured from the Cortes, was guilty of putting a delusion upon the bondholders—a course of conduct which this meeting could not be induced to impute even to a Spanish statesman, were it not for the evidence afforded by the last act of the expiring Cabinet, of which Senor Mon was the most important member, whereby the power above mentioned was annulled, and their successors were forbidden to do that which Senor Mon had professed such an anxious wish to perform." A series of other resolutions, equally strong and condemnatory of the Spaeiish Government, were pro posed as amendments. It was, however, finally agreed, that although the conduct of the Spanish Government demand s th e f u ll es t re p ro b a ti on con tained in the amendments, still it was not expedient to allow the original resolution to be overruled. The original resolution was then unanimously agreed to. Mr. JOHNSON moved th e secon d reso l u ti on , em powering the committee to appoint a delegate to pro ceed to Spain, in order to obtain a settlement of the claims of the British creditors. Mr. DUMERGUE seconded the resolution, which was also unanimously agreed to. A resolution, authorising the committee to appoint a deputation to wait upon Lord Palmerston was unanimously agreed to ; as was also a resolution calling upon the bondholders to subscribe towards the expenses which must necessarily be incurred in carrying out the objects of the association. Mr. WERTHEIM moved, and Mr. CHARD seconded, a resolution to the effect—" That the public press be respectfully solicited to continue its valuable advocacy on behalf of the Spanish Bondholders." resolution was also unanimously agreed to. This thanks of the meeting were voted to the chair man, and the meeting broke up. LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CFIANCERY COURT, Nov. 19. (Before Sir J. WIGRAM.) MARINI/ . V. DARTNILL. of a friend for six weeks, but had not been able to get change for it in town. The note was accordingly presented by this man at Barclay's, when, a Bank of England note was given in exchange for it. The prisoner, on receiving the latter, changed it at a public-house, and lent his acquaintance half a-sove reign out of it, stating that he should have to pay it all back within six weeks. Meanwhile, complaints having been made at the General Post-office respect ing the miscarriage of the country note, which had been sent by a Mr. Burly,:of Wisbeach, to a Mr. Cragg, watchmaker, in Northampton. square, an in quiry was instituted, and the above information elicited from the grocer's assistant who changed the note for the prisoner. Peake, the constable attached to the Post-office, proved that the prisoner, on being first charged with the offence, denied all knowledge of the letter, the note, or the man to whom he had given it ; but, on being c onfronted with the latter, he said he should "decline saying anything then." Other evidence being necessary to complete the case, Mr. JARDINE remanded the prisoner for further examination. This was a motion by one of the defendants in this case to stay further proceedings in equity until the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench had been delivered as to the crime of the plaintiff, who had been indicted at the Central Criminal Court for per jury, but whose case had been removed by writ of certiorari to the Queen's Bench for trial. His HONOUR ' at the conclusion of the arguments, said that he did not think there was any precedent for the present application, and there had been offered no proof of the alleged criminality of the plaintiff. Ile must therefore refuse the application. The motion was then dismissed with costs. BAIL COURT, Nov. 19. THE NEW COUNTY COURTS-IMPORTANT APPLICATION. Mr. CIIARNOCK moved for a rule, calling upon the Judge of the Chelmsford County Court, to show cause why a writ of prohibition should not issue against him, to stop all further proceedings in the case of Ackworth and Hughes v. Dawsett. He stated that the plaintiffs were linendrapers, carrying on business at Chelms ford, and that the defendant was a farmer, of humble circumstances. In the year 1843 his wife contracted a debt with the plaintiffs, amounting to upwards of fifty pounds, which sum had been reduced by various payments to 26/. The defendant became em barrassed, and offered his creditors 10s. in the pound, which they refused. He heard nothing of the claim until July last, when the plaintiffs served him with two bills, making up the sum claimed, and subse quently he was served at their instance with two sum monses to the County Court. The defendant remon strated with him, and urged the illegality of the pro ceeding, but they persevered in their suit. He did not appear, as he thought it would be more advisable to bring the matter before this Court. Mr. Justice PATTESON inquired if the two separate sums were charged for separate bills of parcels, or whether the entire sum had been simply divided to bring each within the jurisdiction of these Courts ? Mr. CHARNOCK said two plaints were issued for one sum charged in a single bill of parcels. Both were taken out on the same day, and as the defendant did notlattend, a writ of fi. fa. had been issued,and a dis traint had been levied in consequence on goods which were supposed to be his, but they belonged to his son. The defendant, who had no effects, resided now at Waltham. Mr. Justice PATTESON said he considered the de fendant entitled to a rule. Mr. CHARNOCK—The fact, my Lord, is, these County Courts, in the way their decisions have been given, will supersede the necessity of holding courts at Westminster Hall, because it will be more profitable to attorneys to carry their suits there. The decision of Mr. Palmer, at Bristol, has led to the institution of 3,000 writs against railway contractors, the costs of which might be calculated at about .54,000/., and no doubt the precedents thus created had led to the suit in question. Mr. Justice PATTBSON said the question raised was a most important one—too important for the de cision of one judge. The defendant might have his rule, but the case must be argued before the full Court. CONSISTORY COURT, Nov. 19. BURROWES AGAINST BURROWES. This was a suit for a divorce, by reason of cruelty and adultery, by the wife against the husband. The charge of cruelty was, however, abandoned. The parties were married on the 19th of May, 1842, and cohabited until the 17th of February, 1847. Dr. BAYFORD, on behalf of the husband, admitted that there being a confession of adultery by the husband (which was otherwise very slightly proved), he could not oppose the sentence ; but he regretted that the case should have been brought before the Court, and that the wife's brothers should have pur sued the course they did instead of using their endea vours to promote the reunion of the parties. The marriage, which had been clandestine, was against the wishes of the family, and the wife's eldest brother admitted that previous to the marriage he had written to the husband, that if he came to the house he would be kicked out of it. But for the spirit shown by the wife's family the Court would not have heard of the case. Dr. ADDAMS (with whom was Dr. Twiss), for the wife, observed, that without the confession of the husband there was the fullest proof of his adultery ; and with regard to the conduct of the wife's family, here was a husband seducing a girl of tender years (fourteen or fifteen), carrying on a lewd intercourse with her in his own house and under the eyes of his wife, and meeting this girl at a brothel ; conduct which fully justified the course pursued by the brothers. And what was the sequel? An arrange ment was about to be made between the parties, and, at the moment when the wife was about to condone his past offence, the husband had admitted that he had gone down by the railroad, and been guilty of adultery with this young girl. No wonder that the wife's brothers should advise her to separate herself from such a husband. Dr. LUSHINGTON said, he had no doubt, and it was not denied, that the evidence fully established the charge of adultery against Mr. Burrowes. There was proof of familiarities between him and a young girl, a servant in his own house, followed up by proof of this girl's going to a common brothel, where she was met by Mr. Burrowes, who remained with her there a considerable time—a circumstance of itself, unless explained, sufficient to establish adul tery. The Court, therefore, had no other duty than to sign the sentence, for he was not entitled to take into his consideration the motives of the wife, or those by which her family might be influenced in any advice they might have given to her. He had nothing more to do, after proof of adultery, than to see whether there was any legal bar to a sentence, and none having been stated he was bound to sign the sentence of divorce. belonging (Haute Saone) d ied ton M a .

Dr. LUSHINGTON—After 30 years of marriage the husband has, in this case, been clearly proved to have been guilty of gross and abandoned adultery, perhaps as gross as in any case ever brought before this Court. Sentence of divorce was signed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Mr. Alderman Musgrove was engaged for a con siderable time in investigating a charge preferred by Mr. Barron, a galloon-manufacturer, in Alderman bury, against Maim Payton, his apprentice. Mr. Goddard, as solicitor fur the prosecution, stated that Mr. Barron received Payton into his ser vice from the parish, as an out-door apprentice, about six years ago. A few days since Mr. Barron called upon a customer at Somer-town, a leather-seller, named Fell, for orders ; and in conversation Mr. Fell asked him if a piece of galloon he produced was dear at 3s. per gross. Mr. Barron looked at it, and found it was his own goods, selling at 25 per cent. under his price, with the private mark erased, Mr. .Fell had bought of a stranger, who offered the goods at his shop. Mr. Barron employed the police to watch his servants, and on two nights the appren tice was followed to the lodging of an old man named John Irving, in Shap-street, Kingsland-road, and he turned out to be the man with who.n Mr. Fell had been dealing. On the following day the officer apprehended the apprentice. He was watched from Haggerstone in the morning, and was joined on the way by two men. One of these accompanied him into Mr. Barron's warehouse in Aldermanbury, and upon coming out was secured by the officer witty 31. worth of goods in his possession. This was one of the weavers employed by Mr. Barron, a man named John Perkins. Having lodged him in the station, the officer apprehended the apprentice, and then went after the old man Irving. He had absconded. He was said to have gone to Scotland, but he was found at Gravesend. He denied his name, or that he knew the apprentice, or that he ever in his life heard the name of Mr. Barron, of Aldermanbury ; the fact being that he was a regular customer there, and in that way became acquainted with the lad. He was, however, only a buyer of bootlaces, and not of the sort of goods he had sold to Mr. Fell. The whole matter, therefore, divided itself into a charge of stealing the goods found on John Perkins against him and the apprentice jointly ; and a charge of steal ing the goods to the amount of 51., found at Mr. Fell's, against the apprentice, and of receiving against John Irving. Robert Packman, the city detective policeman em ployed on this occasion, deposed to the old man's voluntarily stating, in commenting on Mr. Fell's evidence, that Mr. Fell was wrong as to the price he gave for the galloon, for prisoner received 335. from him, and gave Mr. Barron's lad 325. The lad, on the other hand, said he should not have robbed his master if the old man had not induced him to do it. Mr. Buchanan, who attended for the prisoners, put a few questions to feel the extent of the evidence, but reserved his defence. Mr, Alderman MUSGRoVE committed the three pri soner; William Payton, John Perkins, and John Irving, for trial.

Morgan, official THAMES. Charles Haywood, a seaman, was brought before Mr. Ballantine, charged with assaulting Mr. William Proctor, the chief officer of the barque Prince, from Quebec ; but the case, which was of considerable importance, resolved itself into one of endeavouring to make a revolt in the ship, which offence, under 1 1 and 12 William 111., chap. 7, sec. 9, is declared to be a capital felony. Mr. Pelham appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Wells for the defence. It appeared from the evidence, that on the 29th of September last, while the ship was in the river St. Lawrence, off Quebec, the prisoner and another man, named Dent, deserted from the Prince with the view of obtaining higher wages in a homeward bound ship, which is the general practice in all Quebec voyages. The two men were detected by the chief officer in a lighter alongside the ship, in which they had secreted themselves with their clothes, chests, and hammocks, and the complainant forced them on board again. The prisoner was very abusive when he was brought on board, and told the captain and the chief officer, " They knew well what he was going to do; and that he could get 131. per month in a ship home ward bound." He refused to do any more duty that day. Next morning at six A.M., when the chief officer called up the hands, they refused to turn out until three quarters of an hour elapsed, when the prisoner used the most vulgar and abusive language towards the captain and mate, and said he would do no more work in the ship. His conduct at length became so outrageous that he was given into custody and committed to gaol until Saturday, the 2d of October, when, just as the ship was about to get under way, he was brought on board by an inspector of police. He directly commenced abusing Mr. Proctor, and said, " he was the cause of his being put in gaol, and he would not only be the death of him but kill the old captain as well." He then struck 1 the complainant a tremedous blow on the nose and caused him to bleed profusely. He was proceeding to further violence, and calling upon his shipmates not to do any more work, when the chief officer rushed into the cabin where the captain was settling some business with the inspector of police, and requested his interference. The captain and the inspector seized the prisoner, and after a desperate struggle forced him into the sail-room below, and the hatches were battened down upon him by the in spector. The prisoner obtained a crowbar, broke out of his place of confinement, again attacked the chief officer, beat him severely, and tried to throw him down. Mr. Proctor got away from him, and ran into the cabin, and told the captain that unless something was done to restrain the prisoner, he would become master of the ship, and take her away from the master and mates. The captain immediately loaded his pistols, and went upon deck with one in each hand. The prisoner was then standing close to the cabin door armed with a large chain hook, which he flourished in the master's face ; and, after uttering a profane oath, said he would kill any one who laid hands upon him, or attempted to do so, and called out to the crew, " One and all of you stick by me, and we'll take the ship before she gets out of the Gulf of St. Lawrence." He remained on deck brandishing the chain hook for half an hour, but was deterred by the captain's pistols from carry ing his threats into execution. The captain at last prevailed upon him to go below, where he remained for two hours and then came upon deck again, but refused to do any work until the captain made an agreement with him to pay him his full wages on the arrival of the ship in London, and take no notice of the attempted desertion. The evidence of the chief officer was fully borne out by the testimony of the captain, the second officer (who was also struck and abused by the prisoner), and by the carperter. In cross-examination by Mr. Wells, the captain said the ship was getting under way when the vio lence complained of was committed. After the dis turbance was over, he gave all the men a glass of grog each, and the prisoner among the number; and he also promised to pay him his full wages. That was done to pacify him. Mr. BALLANTINE said this case resolved itself into something more serious than an assault, and he should therefore send the prisoner for trial for mutiny. Mr. Wells said that neither of the acts alleged against the prisoner would amount to a felonious and piratical act of mutiny, and it would appear the man returned to his duty. He asked the captain if the prisoner did not cheerfully do his duty, and do it well, both on the outward and homeward voyage ? and he replied in the affirmative. He also admitted that the prisoner was a little intoxicated on the 2d of October. Mr BALLANTINE said, one of the evils of Quebec voyages was, that seamen went out in ships from England at 2/..55. or 2/. 10s. per month, deserted at Quebec, and reshipped themselves at 131. or 14/. per month. The prisoner had attempted to do that, and because the chief mate prevented him cheating his owners, he was threatened, and a violent assault was made upon him by the prisoner, who kept the ship in a state of excitement for some time. He would leave a jury to say what sort of an offence that was. Mr. Wells—Will you, in a case where a man is only charged with assault, commit him for mutiny? Mr. BALLANTINE—" Yes, I will, I mean to do it." The magistrate then inquired if any entries had been made in the log relating to the transaction ? Mr. Pelham said, full and fair entries had been been made in the log-book (which he read), and sub mitted that the magistrate was quite justified in com mitting the prisoner for mutiny ; and that seamen should be made acquainted with the danger of resist ing the authority of the master or mate on board a merchant ship. The prisoner endangered the safety of the ship by his. turbulent conduct while she was getting under way in the St. Lawrence. Mr. BALLANTINE then committed the prisoner for trial under the statute of William 111., for feloni ously endeavouring to make a revolt in the ship ; but on the application of Mr. Wells accepted bail—the prisoner in 1001., and two sureties of SO/. in each, to appear at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court. We understand that the forgery on the North Wilts Bank is confined to the Chippenham branch, and to notes of the issue of March 31. 1847, purporting to be signed by William Gundry and Benjamin Baily. The directors have taken steps to cancel that issue, and sub stitute other notes with a distinguishing feature.— Wilts Independent. KILMARNOCK.—The prevailing topic here is the state of trade, which has grown much worse. The staple manufactures are in a more uninviting state than they have been for many years past; and there is but little prospect of improvement. Even those branches which have been hitherto in a flourishing condition, are beginning to feel the pressure of the times, and the results are telling heavily on the condition of the poorer classes. Carpet weavers, of whom there are a con siderable number, are generally employed only half time —many are altogether idle; while calico-printers, by the 4oppage of Messrs. Neill and Yerston, Mr. Young and Co,, and Mr. Dick, are in a still more deplorable con dition. The lo ng c ontinued depression in this branch has necessitated a number to apply to the authorities for temporary relief, which has been afforded in the shape of out-door labour. The re-establishment of the Soup Kitchen has been mooted ; and, should this take place, further relief will be afforded to the unemployed part of the population. We are glad to hear that fever is on the decrease, and that the number of deaths is diminish ing; as yet, however, we are unab le to g ive the statis tical account, and can only speak from the current rumour. We hope it will be found correct, as the amount and fatality of disease has hitherto been most appalling.--Ayr Observer. LET OF TAT FISIIERIES.—SaImon fishing seems to be a mysterious trade. Those engaged in it are ever losing and eve r a bl e to lose —always ruined by high rents, and every year adding to the burden that galls them. Some days ago the Earl of Wemyss's fishings were let at a rise of nearly 5001. on the previous year_ the rent for 1847 being, in round numbers, 1,3001., and that far 1848, 1,8001. The Seggieden fishings have been likewise disposed of at a considerable advance.—Perth Advertiser. FEMALE COURAGE.—On Friday morning last, at an early hour, a young servant girl, named Mary Mere dith, in the employ of Mrs. Elizabeth Price, mercer, High-street, Brecon, was engaged in lighting a fire, when she heard a tinkling of silver, and proceeding to ascertain the cause, saw a man walking from the direc tion of a cupboard in the house towards the street door, which was partly open. She rushed past him, and at once closed the door, which fastened with a spring latch ; this ho succeeded in opening, but she again closed it Wore he could push by her out. He then ran through a parlour into the shop, and tried to get out that way, but the spirited girl was with him again, and prevented him, until dr. Thomas Bevan, flour-merchant, who heard her call for assistance, came over and secured the fellow. On the arrival of the police he was searched, and ten silver spoons and a cream jug, stolen from the cupboard, found upon him. He was well dressed, end gave the name of Grey, stating that he came from Glou cester. lie was then locked up to await examination. — Hereford Journal. . _~.... Pearson and J.
