(From the Arco Iris of Vera Cruz, Sept. 16 ) PROTEST OF THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATES OP MEXICO, JALISCO, AND ZACATECAS, TO HIS EX CELLENCY TUE PRESIDENT AD INTERIM OF THE REPUBLIC. Most Excellent Sir,—The Deputies who assembled on the 10th of this month had agreed to suspend their meetings in the capital. Under these circum stances, the undersigned have to-day learned that the Minister of Foreign Affairs yesterday summoned the deputies for the purpose of discussing an arrangement with the invading army, and that there was a meeting, but not enough to constitute a quorum. The undersigned deem it their dixty to declare, that existing circumstances in the city of Mexico would not allow the legislative body the necessary freedom in its discussions and deliberations if it should as semble in that city; and that it would not comport with the dignity of the republic that its representa tives should deliberate there on this matter. This opinion is the same which the Congress itself enter tained when, under less pressing circumstances, it passed a decree for removing its session to Queretaro, a decree which was no t f u lfill e d i n i ts ot h er prov i s i ons, owing to . unlawful proceedi ngs w hi c h are no t a secret, and which resulted in a determination not to repair to that city. But as it is absolutely beyond doubt that any ar rangement which may be made with regard to exter nal relations, without the ratification of Congress, will, besides being indecent under existing circum stances, be entirely null, as being unconstitutional, and will bring him by whom it may be made within the case of treason, declared by article sth of the law of 20th April, the undersigned are willing to repair to the city of Queretaro as soon as your Excellency shall issue the necessary summons to them for that place. - The undersigned protest before the whole nation, and particularly before the States of Mexico, Jalisco, and Zacatecas, their constituents, that this resolution on their part, which, as the proceedings of Congress referred to show, is concurred in by a majority of their fellow-deputies, does not imply the abandon ment of their duty, or a resignation, tacit or express, of the legislative power, but is the result of the in dispensable necessity of having that freedom of dis cussion and deliberation which does not now exist in the federal city, and of seeing the public from the ignominy which would inevitably attach to a treaty concluded and ratified under the guns of the enemy, and on the day succeeding unlooked-for reverses. All which we have the honour to communicate to your Excellency, availing oueselves of the occasion to offer the assurance of oar respect and considera tion. God, liberty, and federation. Toluca, August 22, 1847. VALENTIN GOMF/Z FARIAS, JOSE MARIA DE LACUNZA, 1.17 LUIS DE LA ROSA, PASCUAL GONZALEZ FUENTES, MARIANO OTERO, COSME TORRES, MANUEL ROBSEDO, JOAQUIN NORRIEGA. To kis Excellency the President of the Congress of the Union. The foregoing protest was inclosed to the Minister of Foreign Affairs in a communication from the Go vernor of the State of Mexico, dated at Toluca (the capital of that State, and about forty miles south-east of the city of Mexico), August 26. The Governor enlarges on the sentiments contained in the protest, speaks of the efforts made by the people to raise and ecwip an army, which, if there had been a chief worthy to command it, would have been victorious ; and finishes by declaring that the war must be conti nued until peace can be made with dignity and honour, and such a peace as will be approved of by just and generous men throughout the world. Then follows an address from the same Governor to the people of the State, exhorting them to continue the war, reminding them Or their ten years' war with Spain under more adverse circumstances, and telling them that war for another ten years, or for a hundred years, would be preferable to ignominy. An article in the Mexican Nacional, of August 27, states that Mr. Trist at first refused to receive the Mexican Commissioners, because they had not autho rity both to conclude a peace and to form an offen sive and defensive alliance against European pretea lions ; but that full powers had been given to the Commissioners. e Arco I r i s says— There is no longer any doubt hostilities have com menced anew, between the Mexican troops and those di the u n i ted States under the command of General Scott; and letterrg to others f r om s from Orizaba dated the 12th, re alm mail that day roFn Mexico which reached there by ment which toort, us some d e t a il s o f th e engage - The letters whicph te wen hathe Bth a t Ch apu l tepec. battle of Chapultepe c was e\o'ansa'acT that our loss in the erable, as, besides the death, of General Lucas a ß n a d l ejtahs, of the 3d and 4th the liAnem,esruiffezternel regiments of light troops, severely. The loss of the enemy was great in artillery, cavalry, an tr ( o th e e p s of the line, and baggage, and it may be said that more than 500 were placed hors de combat. The propositions said to be made by Mr. Trist m be grossly misrepresented. H e cou l d never }lust stooped to ask for the privilege of establishing twoaNe factories in Upper California for eight years. He could never have assumed the responsibility of strip. ping off his official powers, and departing from his direct instructions. He could scarcely have asked 45 days for any purpose —much less to consider of a proposition to limit our boundary to the Nueces. No agent of the Government would have dared to enter tain such a proposition for one moment ; and we should hope that noAmerican would listen to such a demand. He might as well have listened to a propo • sition to cede a portion of the old thirteen United states, or of any other sovereign state of o ur confede lacy, to the Mexican Government . All t his, of course, is out of the question. They are all idle specu lations and bungling blunders. We may add, however, that if Mexico still has the folly to claim to the IN uece, we should hope there is not an American who will not slow and for all time repel it with indignity. The following is the latest intelligence which has leached New Orleans from the seat of war : The *ruler McKim had arrived, and brings up- THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY _EVENING, OCTOBER 23, 1847. wards of one hundred of the Encarnacion prisoners, released under Col. de Russey's mission from Tam pico, among them John Brady, J. Thompson, J. Leavy, Williams, and Hull, New York Regi ment, and Fulbash, Baltimore Battalion. Capt. Besancon's company, except Lieut. Hawkins and eighteen men, left as guards at Vera Cruz, are reported all killed. There were near the National-bridge twelve hun dred guerillas. It is mentioned that another attempt had been made to kill Capt. Bragg by exploding a bomb under his bed. No personal injury. Fears of Lieut. Henderson's squadron's safety are renewed, as he had not joined Major Lally. Additional accounts by the steamer Day give hopes that the reported disaster to General Worth and others is false. There was a Mexican force near Puebla determined to intercept all communication from General Scott. Lieut. Antonio Predra, aid to Vega, has escaped from New Orleans to Havannah. The informant tells the Picayune that Captain Visceo's mounted battalion, went and examined the graves of Besancon's men, thus confirming the ac count first given by the Spaniard passing from the capital. Lieut. John Riley died on board the McKim. The Delta publishes a report from Sergeant Lor rente, rendering certain the safety of the detachment under Henderson, and also that Besancon was at Ja lapa on the Bth September. The Delta discredits altogether the deaths of Gene rals Worth, Pillow, and Smith, and the blowing up of three powder waggons. The Picayune also expressed its belief that the statement of the disastrous defeat of General Worth is Mexican bombast. Paredes is stated to be in the State of Puebla with six thousand men, prepared to prevent reinforcements reaching General Scott. Government has made no attempt to arrest his proceedings. He has been appointed Inspector- General of the Puebla National Guards. The New Orleans Picayune and the Delta of 27th ult. publish further documents relating to the peace negotiations. 1. A letter from Pacheco to the Mexican commis sioners, with a modification of their instructions. 2. A counter project of a treaty from the Mexican commissioners to Mr. Trist. 3. A letter from the commissioners to Mr. Trist, dated 6th September, accompanying the counter project and the treaty. . . . . 4. A letter from the commissioners to the Secre tary of State of Mexico dated September 7th, with this important conclusion : "On Wednesday we entered into a long and calm discussion of the principal points of the propositions, which continued during the following day. The result was that Mr. Trist showed himself disposed to abandon the claim to Lower California and part of Upper California, so that we might have communi cation by land with Sonora. He proposed that no other :point of difference to the conclusion of peace existed, except that relating to the territory between the Rio Grande and the Nueces; he would consult his Government on that point with some hope of success. But the cession of New Mexico was a condition that he could not abandon or submit to a new consultation at Washington. He is certain that his Government would consider a peace on other points mentioned in his propositions which appear to us would be overcome, both parties proceeding in negotiations in a spirit of accommodation. Your Excellency communicates its final determination in your note of yesterday, in conformity with which, and the approbation of the Cabinet, given in the Council of Ministers, we delivered the same day to Mr. Trist the counter project, and, without other discussion, he ("red to give an answer to day, and has done so in the note, of which number three is a copy." Mr. Trist is not included in this history of negotia tions. This put an end to the Mexican commission. In their intercourse with Mr. Trist, they say they had ample reasons to appreciate his noble character, and if at another time peace be concluded, it will be by means of the spirit of negotiation and the estimable qualities which distinguished this Minister. The State of Zacatecas, taking advantage of the distracted condition of Mexico, has sent a force against the State of Aguas Calientas, which has sometimes acted independently of Zacatecas, and been recognised as an independent state, to reduce it to submission.

FA LMOUT 11, OCT. 21.—Her Majesty's packet Pen guin, Lieutenant Swainson commander, arrived this morning with the Brazil mail, having sailed from Rio de Janeiro the 2d: Bahia, 11th; and Pernambuco, 17th ult. She brings a small freight, and the following passengers, viz., Mr. and Mrs. Herring and eight children, Mr. and Mrs. Lane and two children, and Messrs. Robertson, Durand, M'Carthy, and Krabbe. The exchange ruled at Rio at 27kd. ; Bahia. at 27d.; and at Pernambuco, at 27d. There is little or no news of importance by this opportunity, either from the River Plate or the Brazils. Prior to the sailing of the Penguin from Rio, dates to the 20th of August from Monte Video had been received there, in which it was stated that the city could not hold out much longer, particularly with the internal broils and troubles which prevailed. Oribe was soon expected to take possession, and it ' was hoped that that object would be attained by nego elation rather than force. In the Brazils things were quiet, although at Pernambuco it was feared some disturbance would be manifested on the day after the Penguin left, as the elections for deputies would take place on the 18th of September. The coffee and sugar market remained steady at the different ports, though business was not brisk. The Swift packet, from Falmouth, sailed from Bahia for Rio on the 10th of September, and the fol lowing British men • of-war were lying at Rio on the packet's sailing, viz.:—The Eagle, Crescent, Griffon, the Sattellite. The following is an extract of a letter from Rio, dated September 1 : Last evening the Satellite 'came in from in the river, bringing news of the insubordination of a bat talion of the defending army in Monte Video, com manded by Larranja. This event might have pro duced the abrupt termination of the war, but it was checked without bloodshed by the prudential act of the Government.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 22. (Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.) There were several meetings for the choice of as signees in this court, but the three following alone deserve mention : In the case of William Pithey, of Philpot• lane, merchant, Mr. Munt, of the firm of Munt and Brown, merchants, was appointed assignee; in the case of W. 11. Lewis, of Ludgate-street, shoe manu facturer, Mr. Swift, a shoe dealer in Hatton-garden, was appointed assignee ; and in the matter of G. W. Jones, in which debts to a large amount were proved, Mr. Laxton, of Pall-mall East, surveyor, and Mr. Thomas Martin, of 21, Whitechapel• road, silk manu facturer, were chosen assignees. Mr. Jones was a shoe manufacturer in Birchin-lane, Cornhill. (Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.) IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF WILLIAM THOMAS. The last examination of this bankrupt, who was a publisher and newspaper advertisement agent in Catherine-street, Strand, was further adjourned. IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF STIRLING AND STIRLING The bankrupts, who were slate merchants at Strat ford, in Essex, came up for their certificates. They were the inventors of a peculiar description of fuel, for which a patent has been granted. The Commis sioner observed, that this patent had been offered for sale, and a person agreed to give a considerable sum for it, but owing to the pressure in the money market had not yet paid in the amount to the official assignee. From a review of the whole of the transactions in which the bankrupts had been engaged, and from the official report, it gave him pleasure to say that both bankrupts had conducted themselves like honest men. He would grant the certificates. IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF CHRISTOPHER GREEN This bankrupt, a wharfinger, at St. Mary's Overies Dock, came up for his certificate. The COMMISSIONER, in giving judgment, observed, that this was one of the few cases in which that por tion of the Act enabling traders to have a fiat issued on their own petition had been properly exercised, and in which the intentions of the Legislature and the spirit of its provisions had been fulfilled. By so doing in this instance the property had been rescued from the grasp of one creditor and fairly and satisfac torily distributed amongst all the creditors. In other respects, too, this case advantageously contrasted with most of the other cases which had come before this Court. The expenses were small, and the debts set down in the balance sheet as due to the estate, under the head of " good," were in reality good ones. There would be a dividend of 12s. 6d. in the pound, and upon the whole he felt pleasure in granting the certificate. IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF W. JENNIN6S. The bankrupt was a maltster in Bungay. This also was a certificate meeting. Mr. Bagley was counsel for the bankrupt. It appeared that this man became much embar rassed in 1841. Having been pressed by a relative for a debt, he assigned over to him a large portion, of his property. Seeing that he had not sufficient assets to meet all the demands upon him, he went to Ame rica. In his absence a fiat was issued, and when in formed by letter that such had been the case, he re turned to this country in March, 1842, but failed in taking the steps proper for a bankrupt to pursue. He only attended one dividend meeting, and did not present himself to the solicitor for the fiat. - Mr. BAG LEY urged the ignorance of his client, and also that he had taken little more than the ex penses of the passage with him to America. The COMMISSIONER observed, that although the bankrupt's conduct had been improper in many re spects, he did not think it necessary to suspend the certificate, because the bankrupt had in point of fact, already undergone a six years' suspension. Certificate granted. The final order of an insolvent named Benton, of Hornchurch, in Essex, a farmer, for whom Mr. Bagley appeared, was adjourned, but protection was granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday all the persons charged on Saturday last with having been concerned in forging bank-notes to an immense amount upon the Russian Government were brought before the Lord Mayor for re-exami tion. Mr. Ballantine appeared as counsel, and Mr. Peachy, from the firm of Oliverssn and Co., of the Old Jewry, as solicitor to the Russian Government; Mr. M'lntyre and Mr. Vincent, as counsel for the principal persons accused ; and Mr. Barnet, as soli citor to the rest. The prisoners wera placed at the bar in the following order ;—Aaronson Leybe, Jacob Friedeburg, Raphael K a uffm an , a n d S o l omon Musco vitz, were placed most conspicuously, as the chief parties charged; and Yankee Tobias, Hackle Moses, and Yellee Solomons, the wife of Solomon Muscovitz, steod in a less prominent place. The prosecution, as has already been stated, has been instituted by the Russian Government, through the embassy and consulate in London, for the purpose of defeating the nefarious endeavours of a band of forgers who were suspected of being engaged in London in forging the notes of the Bank of the Em pire in Russia, with the view of ultimately introduc ing them into Russia, and circulating them amongst the population. John and Daniel Forrester, the officers, seized, in possession of some of the principal prisoners, several thousands of forged notes after they had broken into the premises in which the work had been carried on. Mr. Ballantine said, before any additional evi dence was called, he did not intend to press against the three last named prisoners as principals, us he had nothing to add to the statements already made against them, and if the Lord Mayor had no objection they might at once be removed from custody. Mr. M'lntyre submitted that nothing had been i!ta i ted calculated to criminate Solomon Mtrsdoiltioitid -2 asked for the discharge of that prisoner; who had merely taken the few notes found in his possession from a person who was indebted to him, and could not have been cognizant of the fact that any one of them was a forgery. Mr. Ballantine said he believed the evidence he had to adduce would have reference to Muscovitz as well as to the other three charged as principals in the offence. Aaronson was the man who supplied the money necessary for the accomplishment of the for geries, and the others were engaged in the various operations, which had been so well watched that every one of the prisoners had been traced to and from the localities in which the notes were prepared for circulation, and several notes were found in an unfinished state, destitute of some o f th e f orma li t i es without which they could not be current. The evidence additional to that of Daniel For rester, the officer, given at the previous examination, was as follows : Mr. G. L. Lee, of 145, High Holborn, lithographic printer and seller of lithographic materials, said— Between the 20th and 24th of September, Friedeburg and Kauffman came to my house and purchased some lithographic stone for 2s. They looked at a press, and asked me about the price, and whether I could lend them one. On the 25th of September they called again, and asked what I would charge for the loan of a press. I told them the sum, and said I ex pected a deposit of the value of the press. They went away, and called again in the evening bringing Aaronson with them, and Aaronson gave me a deposit of 41. ,upon the press, for which I gave a receipt. Aaronson told me he was a wine merchant, and that Friedeburg and Kauffman were two poor but honest men, and that he had known them in Paris and wished to assist them. They then took away the press, and on the following Tuesday Kauffman came to me again, and said he could not get the little press to work, and I went with bim to a house in Newton street, where I saw Friedeburg. Afterwards I went with Kauffman to Short's-gardens, Drury-lane, and the press was brought into the room in which I was, and I set it to rights and went away. I did not, I think, see Aaronson afterwards. Forrester pointed out a press to me which my wife, in my absence, had allowed them to take, instead of the one they took away at first, and which they returned. Cross-examined by Mr. Vincent—l never saw Aaronson at either of the houses I have just men tioned. .kriedeburg (to the witness)—Did you see any other person at the house in Short's-gardens ? Wit ness—l think I saw another German there. John Forrester said, I accompanied my brother for .he purpose of apprehending the prisoners. Upon searching Aaronson I found a receipt (here witness produced Mr. Lee's receipt for the 4/. which was left as a deposit for the lithographic press, and some other papers). I went to Friedeburg's lodgings and found a number of notes in the bedding. Mr. March, of the Russian Consulate, examined the not es , an d sa id h e b e li eve d t h em to be forgeries. He pointed out a wrong letter, which he said satisfied him that they were fictitious. Mrs. Mary Ann Elsey said, I live at No. 8, Queen street, Soho, and am a widow. Aaronson came with Friedeburg to take a lodging at my house on the 4th of October for a Mr. Marchand. Kauffman, whom I understood from A aronson to b e Marchand, came the same evening the press came. All three of them, Aaronson, Friedeburg, and Kauffman, had been there before it arrived, looking at the apartment. Kauff man slept in the house till he was taken into custody. Friedeburg and Aaronson were there every day. Kauffman did something on account of which I gave him notice to quit the day before. He had brought a bad character into the house, and I men tioned the circumstance to Aaronson, who said he would never do so again, and that he would leave the house on Friday. • In ans wer t o a quest i on f rom Fr i edeburg the wit nawwleilsotishtwns:ssimsd_chanpa Friedeburg—.Dthing - erson Came up and op ene d h er h a ll d oor Ka offman's key, and she told him she wou ld no t not ,that person go up st a i rs ? e did. MX. 8411414410 1144 11 414 request the Lord Mayor to grant another remand of the prisoners for some time. The only additional evidence necessary was the strict legal evidence as to the fact that the notes were forged. The moral evidence of guilt was quite strong enough. The authorities here had com municated with the Bank at St. Petersburgh, and the moment the evidence to prove that the notes were forgeries should arrive the case should be sent to the proper tribunal for trial. It would, he thought, be necessary to go over the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court. There were two or three other wit nesses whom it might be considered necessary to pro duce, one of whom was a servant girl at the house at which Solomon Muscovitz had lodged, which girl could prove that Friedeburg and Aaronson had been constantly in the room with Muscovitz. Mr. M'lntyre said, that sort of evidence only proved that Muscovitz had stated facts in accounting for the possession of the notes he was accused of having on his person. Muscovitz was an illiterate man, and was incapable of judging of genuine notes, a circumstance not calculated to excite surprise, as there was scarcely a person in the justice-room who could declare that they were forgeries. Mr. Blllantine said t hat his Learned Friend seemed to forget that amongst the notes found upon his client was a skeleton note, the condition of which was ample proof that it was a forgery. Mr. APlntyre argued that Muscovitz ought either to he discharged or committed at once. He had taken the notes as genuine ones, and it was out of his power to call evidence to that fact, as his witnesses were arraigned at the bar. Mr. Vincent said he should postpone Aaronson's defence to a future occasion. Mr. Ballantine submitted to the Lord Mayor that Mr. Dl'lntyre's observations with respect to Al usco vitz might be exactly adapted to a jury, but they had nothing to do with the Lord Mayor, who had to consider merely whether the case was such a one as ought to go to a higher authority. Here was a man found in the possession of a forged note, fabricated by the parties with whom he was found to be con stantly associated. The Loan MAYou said he had made up his mind to remand all the prisoners till Saturday, the 20th of November. [ln all the notes found upon the prisoners, or in their rooms, there are several verb a l an d o th er inac curacies, and in the notes which appear to have been intended as the most finished, there is a gross error in the last word of the note, which, as written, was stated not to be a Russian word at all, and indeed to be no word in any language. The notes were three rouble notes, intended for circulation no doubt amongst the ignorant peasantry, the bulk of whom cannot read.] GUILDHALL. Yesterday Joseph Markwell, a clerk in the Post office money order department, was charged with stealing a 51. note, the property of a fellow-clerk. Mr. Bate, the complainant, stated that he received his salary on Tuesday week, and on the Thursday following he missed a Si. note. He did not know the number of the note, but he endorsed his name on the back of two notes he received, and, having ascer tained that the clerks were paid in notes of consecu tive numbers, and that the numbers of the two paid to him were known, the discovery of the lost note was rendered easy. By ascertaining the number of a note he had paid away he arrived at the number of that he had lost. It was paid into the Bank and traced back to the prisoner, who had erased his en dorsement. Upon missing the note he immediately drew up a notice, which the prisoner, at his request, posted up in the office. Mr. Alderman H. HuGuEs asked. where the note was stolen ; was it from the inside or off his desk ? The complainant said hehad placed it in his pocket book, and it was stolen, or, perhaps, it had dropped on the floor from his book Mr. Alderman H. Humus said there was some difference between stealing and finding property, be cause there was an erroneous notion abroad that he who found a thing might keep it. At the same time, the law regarded it as a felonious act if a person ap propriated to his own use the property of another, which he had lost by accident. The prosecutor said the property was found, not in the street, but in the money order-office, and the prisoner was aware to whom it belonged. Robert Tyrrell, the money-order officer, stated that he apprehended the prisoner, who at first persisted that the note produced was the same he had received for his salary, but on finding the number of Mr. Bate's note could be fixed with certainty he confessed that he picked the note up in the room where the clerks hang their great-coats, and, as he did not men tion the fact on the day, he was ashamed to speak of it, when on the following day he heard who had lost it. The ALDERMAN asked what salary he had ? Mr. Peacock, the Post-office solicitor, said 801. a-year. lie should leave the case in the hands of the magistrate. Mr. Alderman 11. liuGnEs presumed he would be dismissed from the Post- office. Mr. Peacock said he had no doubt-of that. The ALDERMAN asked Mr. Bate if he would be satisfied if the prisoner repaid the .5/., and quitted the Post-office ? Mr. Bate said he should be satisfied, if the Yost-office authories were. Mr. Alderman H. limas said, he would be punished by losing his place, the difficulty he would have in procuring another, and the pain he would endure through life from feeling that he was an object of suspicion. He recommend e d the pri soner to immediately tender his resignation and repay the money. The prisoner promised to do so, and was discharged. NORTH-WALES RAILWAY. A special meeting of the shareholders of this com pany was held yesterday, at two o'clock, at the Guild hall Coffee-house, on the requisition of a number of shareholders, who declared their opinion that th e p ro -, ject could not be carried out with profit, and, there fore, :wishing the company to be dissolved and the remainder of the funds distributed amongst the share holders. Mr. CHADWICK occupied the chair, and briefly addressed the meeting. Ile said from the course adopted by Mr. Mott and Mr. Archer, and from the depreciation of railway property, he had arrived at the opinion that the wisest plan] would be to dis solve the company. The Chester and Holyhead, for instance, was at ten pounds discount, and some of the shareholders of the line had stated to him that they would rather pay 51. per share than allow the company to go on, and to render the shareholders liable for the contract. When the pro ject was started, the Great Western was surveying a line to Porthdynllaen, on which their line ma terially depended, but it had be en a b an d one d ; and without that line their project would be valueless. The directors, therefore, proposed the dis solution of the company, and the return of the re mainder of the funds, and to intimateithis by letter to each of the shareholders ; but if, from the opposition with which they had h a d t o con t en d , t h ey could not do this immediately, they proposed to seek a Bill next session t o ena bl e th em to do so. With relation to the statement made by Mr. Archer at the Mansion-house, respecting the securities, he had to reply that they were safe in the strong box of the company at their banker's, and would be produced at the proper time. It appeared to him that Mr. Archer and Mr. Mott had an in terest in the Porthdynllaen line, which was adverse to the interests of this company.—(Hear, hear.) He, therefore, begged to propose the immediate dissolu tion of the company. Mr. HENDERSON seconded the motion, and strongly urged its adoption, and the immediate return of the 23,000/. into the hands of the bankers. He con sidered that the proposition to make merely the portion of the line from Carnarvon to Bangor was not one which the shareholders ought to entertain. Mr. MOTT admitted that he was interested in the Porthdynllaen line, but said that Mr. Archer had ceased to have an interest in it; any connexion with him, however, he disavowed. He did not wish to oppose the wish of the shareholders, but he besought them to adopt an a lt ernat i ve, name l y , the probability of an offer of an eligible nature from some other com pany. If no offer was made, he would not oppose their wish, but he would advise them to allow the company to dissolve in the natural course—by the expiration of the Act. He looked upon Forth dynllaen as one of the most important ports in that part of the country. A SHAREHOLD ER , a barrister, said as Holyhead had been fi xe d upon as the port for that part of the country, and as t h e tra ffi c on their line would simply consist of slates ; and as the landowners w e r e against it, he a d v i se d t h em a t on ce to dissolve. They might, in his opinion, divide the money, taking the note of hand of each shareholder; or they might seek a bill to the value. The opposition of M r . Archer, or any o ne e l se , wo uld be estimated by a Committee of th e H ouse o f C o mmons. This gentle man cited sever a l i ns t ances i n which a similar course had been ad o pt e d. ll e was no t in favour of waiti ng for any offer, excep t it was made in cash. Mr. SPACK MAX a l so urge d the dissolution of th e company, and con s id ere d t h a t the opposition of such a person as Mr. Archer would weigh but as a feather in the scale against the wish of a body of share holders.—(Hear, hear.) Ile would be taken at his value. They mi g ht b e su re that the Government would ere long bri ng f orw ard a proposition to put an end to 9-10ths of th e ra il wa ys— (Hear, hear)—th ey would thus liberate the money of the country an d prevent the public cr e dit or from being cheated. The resolution was then unanimously adopted. After considerable discussion of a personal and libellous nature, relative to the proceedings of Mr. Archer and his solicitor, Mr. Shaw, A vote of thanks and confidence was passed to the Chairman, the directors, and the secretary, and the meeting broke up.

STATE OF THE COUNTRY—SERIOUS COL LISION WITH THE MILITARY. DUBLIN, OCT. 20.—Further accounts have been received of the alarming state of insubordination in various counties. From the county of Limerick, now the focus of agrarian disturbance, the Limeri'i Reporter brings the following:— " ATTACK ON THE WORKHOUSE OF RATHREALE Yesterday (Monday) about 800 men from the sur , rounding parishes proceeded to the Rathkeale Work house in a body, sounding horns as they went along. A small party of dragoons were called out to pre vent the intended attack on the workhouse. A con flict ensued, when the captain had his ear split by a stone, the sergeant's head cut, and a private's eye knocked out. The dragoons had to retreat, and the people assaulted the workhouse. The infantry and police were then called out, the Riot Act was read, and the rioters were dispersed, after two were made prisoners, and one stabbed by th e p o li ce . Th e win dows of the workhouse were all broken. " ARRIVAL or MILITARY.—The .head-quarters of the 41st Regiment arrived this day from Mullingar, under Lieutenant-Colonel Browne, and marched to the New Barrack, taking up the quarters of the .59th." A letter from Tipperary mentions the murder of a gentleman named Lucas, who, it is stated, was shot by some person from behind a hedge on the roadside. The particulars are not given ; but it is said that some of Mr. Lucas's tenants had been ejected for non payment of rent and arrears. The Tipperary Vindicator says—" On Thursday night, about eleven o'clock, the driver of the Lime rick and Waterford mail car was fired at by some person between Caher and Kilmoyler. Fortunately the shot did not take effect. No cause can be assigned for this outrage." The Evening Post contains the following : "KING'S CO UNTT.—. ATTEMPT AT MURDER.—O❑ Sunday morning, between the hours of six and seven o'clock, a party of men, six in number, attacked the dwelling-house of a man named Hogan, residing in Ballycummer, Rathdrum, about four miles distant from I'hilipstown. After placing guards upon the servants to prevent their rendering any assistance, three of the gang entered the sleeping-room of Hogan, who, together with his wife, were at the time in bed. Hogan, notwithstanding that, as he lay, no less than three shots were fired at him, was ultimately enabled to spring to his feet, and wrenching a dagger from one of his assailants, offered such determined resistance that the ruffians retreated, carrying with them one of their party mortally wounded. Hogan's wife was dreadfully beaten about the head by some of the ruffians, but Hogan himself escaped without any 'very serious injury. There are bad accounts from Roscommon also. The Evening Mail says— " A step in this, the right direction, has, we un derstand, been taken in the county of Roscommon ; a correspondent informs us that 200 of the tenants of the Frenchpark estate were to have been sworn in yesterday, as special constables, for the purpose of patrolling the district nightly, in concert with the constabulary.' " The Roscommon Journal has the following account of an attempt at assassination : " Our county has been disgraced by a base attemi .o deprive a respectable gentleman of his life. appears that Mr. Dominick Gillooly, of Moher, near Lanesboro', had his tenants' crops seized for rent, and stacked in one of his cottler's hagards. Fearing that it would be carried off at night, he went with his ser vant and another man, at the hour of one o'clock, to the place ; the night was very dark at the time. The party were not long there when Mr. Gillooly was fired at from behind the hedge. Mr. Gillooly thought to return the fire, but the pistols did not go off, and all chance of securing the ruffians proved fruitless." DANGEROUS CAPTURE.—We announce with plea sure the capture of the notorious and blood-stained monster, William Ryan, by Sub-inspector Heard and a small party of the Castleconnell police, at New garden, on Sunday evening, under circumstances o f a peculiar nature. It appears that while on duty in the locality of the recent murder of Peter Nash, Sub- Inspector Heard was providentially prompted to visit the house of a farmer named William Irewen, ac companied by Head-constable Phillips, Constable Hobden, and two sub - constables of the station, who were in the act of searching the dwel ling, when the head• constable ascended the roof of a bed where a quantity of tow was stored, and, to his surprise and astonishment, he found concealed in the heap the outlawed Ryan " Puck," who was armed with a large blunderbuss, loaded with twelve small balls, capped, and re a d y f or immediate use ! The fellow instantly prepared f or defence, and presenting the deadly weapon swore he would shoot the first man that laid hand s upon hi m. Sub-inspector Heard, nothing daunted, mo un t e d t h e bed with a loaded pistol, which he presented at the ruffian, whom he called upon to surrender, but the malefactor undaunted swore he would blow his brains out. The police wer e th en ordered to prepare for action, Sub-inspector Heard maintaining the same perilous position before Ryan, who cried out to Fre wen several times, " Will I fire?" Head-con stable Phillips was only armed with a drawn sword, which h e t o ld R yan he would drive through his body if he did not surrender. Constable Hobden having ascended the roof, the party were placed in jeopardy, Ryan vociferating he would not harm the Head constable, for whom he had a respect. Sub-inspector Beard had his pistol presented at Ryan's head, while the fellow held his blunderbuss to the gentleman's breast, and was about to pull the trigger when the Head-constable turned off the muzzle and Ryan was compelled to yield after a fierce struggle with the police, whose gallant conduct and forbearance on the occasion entitle them to much praise. Ryan was im mediately removed to Castleconnell station, with William, John, and Thomas Frewen, who are sus- Fec:ed of the conspiracy to shoot Nash, by this atrocious miscreant, who had been concealed in their house since the murder was perpetrated. The blun derbuss found with Ryan contained a charge of six inches, including eleven slugs, and a like number were discovered in his pocket. The four prisoners were brought in yesterday by the police, and lodged in the county gaol. Ryan is charged with two murders within three weeks, the victims being John Kelly and 8.-ter Nash ; also Whiteboy outrages during the last seven years that he has been "on the run."

WEDNESDAY, OCT. 20.—A meeting of the mem bers of the Irish Confederation was held this day in the Rotunda. Dr. Cane, of Kilkenny, occupied the chair. The SECRETARY (Mr. Magee) commenced the pro ceedings by reading an account of receipts and expen diture from the 11th of September to the 16th of October. It appeared that the receipts amounted to 811. 1 ls. 101 d., and the expenditure to 301. ss, 4d., leaving a balance of 51/. 6s. 6fd. Mr. MAGEE (Secretary) intimated that Mr. Smith O'Brien, in a letter addressed to them, stated that he had received for the uses of th e I r i s h Confederation "From an Indian Officer with a true Irish Heart" the sum of 251. He next referred to the appointment of Mr. William Hamill (formerly Secretary of the Confederation) to an office under the Board of Education, and said that, although that gentleman was secretary to the Confederation, and had accepted the office in question, he was never a member of their body, and therefore could not *be expelled from its ranks, as he certainly would be according to their rules if he had been regularly admitted. In fact, Mr. Hamill was nothing more than their clerk, and as such felt himself at liberty to seek the situation. It appeared that he had received a letter of recommen dation from a me nber of the body (Mr. Mitchell), who, feeling that he had infringed the rules of the Confederation, although unintentionally, had sent in a letter of resignation, but, under the circumstances, he had been requested to withdraw it. Dr. WEST proposed the admission of Robert 111•Dowell, Esq., President of the Chamber of Com merce, Belfast.—(Cheers.) Mr. C. G. Duna- seconded the motion for the ad mission of Mr. M'Dowell, and handed in the sub scription ; and moved the admission of Hamo. De Massey, of Clanwilliam Castle, a magistrate of the county of Limerick.—(Cheers.) Both gentlemen were admitted. The CHAIRMAN remarked that Mr. M'Dowell was the president at the repeal meeting held some years ago in Belfast, at which the late Mr. O'Connell at tended.—(Hear.) A great number of members (including several persons resident in England) were admitted. Mr, MITCHELL referred to the letter of recom mendation given by him to Mr. Hamill. He admitted that he should not have given that letter, but he did not think that any one would suppose that in giving that letter he was putting himself under a compliment to the English Government.—(Cheers.) He did n ot believe that there was in the Confederation any bitterer or more determined enemy to the English Government than he was.— (Cheers.) In conclusion, he read a report on the ways and means of Ireland for the coming winter. He (Mr. Mitchell) saw no objection to their receiving alms from America, or from France, or from Italy, or from Russia, or fora Kamschatka; but alms from England they could not receive. —(Cheers.) The report was adopted. A deputation was appointed to attend in Belfast on the Bth of November, to explain and work out the objects of the Confederation. A resolution was passed appoving of the intention of the Irish Council to call a meeting of the Irish peers and commoners. Mr. FEENY (Manchester) handed in the subscrip tions of 102 confederates in Manchester and Salford. The meeting then separated. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, OCTOBER 22.

It appeared that a Yarmouth captain and Jug wife do not lire on those terms of endearment which should exist between two who have been joined together,. in holy matrimony, an d, i n f act , t h e h us b an d h a d Pleb appeared before the North Shields magistrates, to answer the charge of his wif e f or roug h usage ; t h e com plaint was, however, dismissed, the lady not being without her faults, and especially inclined to indulge too much In drinking strong draughts of aqua vitce. As the husban d and three other Yarmouth captains were on their war from the justice-room, the North Shields town-crier came within view, and the husband said, if the job could • be done reasonable, he would have his wife cried dow°9 and the crier agreed to do it for Is. 6d. The wool being paid, the official, who formerly served in the Rifles as bugler, bl ew a bl ast so loud and clear that it soon attracted a large assemblage, among whom were a majority of the fair sex of Shields. To the audience thl crier proclaimed th at Captain —,of the ship —, * 7 ° 131 not be answerable fir any debts his wife might co ntract. &c. This so e xc it e d t h e i n di gnation of the wives, tha t one tall Amazonian-l oo ki ng woman proposed that su b a scription be immediat e ly gat h ere d for the purpose ° crying the captain down, who, they were sure, must be n bad one to cry his wife d own ; h owever, th i s wa s not agreed to, the general wish being that summary ven geance should be inflicted. The captain, on seeing how: matters were likely to end, she ere d , and sought safety in his ship.—Newcastle Guardian. EXTRAORDINARY WORK OF ART.—We have been favoured with a sight of a piece of workmanship, of which some of our readers may possibly have heard something. We aro at a loss to give it a name, but there is no difficulty in describing it, as it consists of a vast number of pieces of fine cloth (they amount to 3,570), of divers colours, worked together with n eedle and silk, into various forms and devices, with such tast e and delicacy, that the whole resembles a sort of tapestri• in which we have representations of men and beasts, a n d vessels under s a il an d at anchor. The beauty of the workmanship is most extraordinary, evincing in tl artist not only fi rst - rate s ki ll i n his calling, but Eat,lew refinement. H is name we have pleasure in m akin g known—he is Mr. Joh n M unro , o f Paisley, and, to his honour be it spoken, this beautiful production of his w n : executed during those hours of leisure when too Inati of his class are was ti ng t h e i r h ea l t h an d su b stan ee:t 6 the ale-house.
