By nth-ices received from Cork this morning we have further intelligence respecting the above -named ill-fated vessel. The following details are given in the letter of a correspondent of one of the Cork papers, published on Monday evening last " It becomes ray melancholy duty to furnish you with the particulars of one of the most disastrous shipwrecks which has ever occurred on this, or, per haps, any other, coast—involving a sacrifice of human life, which it is truly fearful to contemplate, and under circumstances of the most extraordinary cha racter. The ship Stephen Whitney sailed from New York on the 18th of October last, bound for Liver pool, having on board, including passengers and crew, one hundred and ten persons. During the passage the weather was all that could be desired. The ship had apparently made a fair average passage, and everything promised a fortunate termination to the voyage. Up to Tuesday last nothing worth re cording occurred; but on Wednesday the weather set in thick and hazy, and in consequence the com mander deemed it advisable to heave to—that is, to stop the progress of the vessel. The sounding line was then thrown overboard, and it was ascertained that the vessel rode in upwards of fifty fathoms of water. After some technical instructions regarding the management of the ship—which will be found more distinctly referred to in a document supplied by the mate of the unfortunate vessel—had been delivered to the -crew, and acted upon, the vessel continued to make easy way until about eight o'clock on Wednesday evening, when the land was seen inimediately ahead. Owing to the courage and perseverance of the crew, the ship was, with very great difficulty, brought off this point, which was subsequently ascertained to have been Crookhaven, During all this time the weather continued intensely dull and hazy, rendering it quite impossible for even the keenest eye to descry the land which lay in treacherous contiguity. 'When the vessel had been relieved from off the land, a light was distinctly seen, which, after a brief consultation, was'supposed to be the Old Head of Kinsale, and measures were accord ingly adopted for making the harbour of Cork. In this fatal error, which supposed the light on Rctek Island, near Crookhaven, to be that of the Old Head, the disastrous results that ensued would appear to be, in a considerable degree, attributable. The light on Rock Island, as I have been informed, has been but very recently erected ; and, from all that I could as certain, the responsible persons on board appeared to be ignorant of its existence. Whether such igno rance involved a culpable neglect, will probably be a matter for future investigation. The ship was again hauled off the land, and, believing she had sufficient offing, a course was steered in relation to the supposed position of the Old Head, which, under the cir cumstances, was considered to be the correct one. They kept on in this course until a quarter to ten o'clock, when the land was signalled immediately ahead, and orders were promptly given to bring her round; but the tremendous surf which beat upon the rocks issued a sterner command, and it was evident the ill-fated ship was doomed. A brief moment only ensued, and one terrific crash followed, which instantly consigned numbers to eternity. This single encounter stove in the entire side of the vessel; and in less than half an hour there was not two planks together, nor a single ar ticle of any description that conld afford the means of escape to either passenger or sailor. Unlike the greater number of disastrous occurrences, where respite of even a few hours affords the unhappy sufferers some means or probability of escape, the victims on this occasion were instantly hurled into eternity without a moment's thought or preparation. In less than ten minutes, out of one hundred and ten human beings, full of life and hope, enjoying the glad anticipation of meeting friends, relatives, and homes, ninety-two had ceased to exist. Through the mercy of Providence, eighteen individuals were rescued from the destruction which overwhelmed their associates—and, in many instances, their es cape was effected with little assistance from their own strength or activity. Such was the sudden ness of the calamity such the fearful havoc which a few minutes created—that almost all on board were stupified with horror and amazement, and rendered totally inactive by the appalling catastrophe. The survivors, bruised and naked, without shoe or stocking, jacket or waistcoat, scram bled up the rock, which overhung the sea to the height of nearly sixty feet, and after searching about for some time, arrived at two miserable huts, the only human tenements on the island. Here they learned for the first time that they had struck on the western point of West Calf Island, situated in the channel between the village of Skull and Cape Clear Island, and lying about four miles inside the cape. The two families who reside upon the island were totally ignorant of the melancholy circumstance, until the distressed and worn-out mariners entered their wretched cabins for the purpose of craving shelter for the night. " To give you even an imperfect idea of the sud denness of the occurrence and its results, I may men tion one circumstance, which I learned from the mate, who appeared to be a respectable and highly intelli gent seaman. At half-past nine o'clock, on Wednes day night, he was chief officer of the Stephen Whit ney, entrusted with a responsible position, and in command of an efficient crew ; at ten o'clock he was shivering, almost naked, over a few sods of turf in a wretched cabin, with the few miserable men who ha(i escaped. As he himself expressed it, it was a change so sudden, so 'unexpected, and so calamitous, that he found it totally impossible to realise it. " The Coast Guard authorities were apprised on Thursday of the circumstance, and on the evening of that day the entire of the crew were brought off the island in a large boat belonging to Mr. Bannon, an excise officer. Several of them appeared to be quite exhausted from the cold and exposure to the weather, and two of them had to be conveyed to the village of Skull. At an early hour on Thursday morning the news was circulated amongst the country people, and 'shortly after hundreds of small craft of every de scription were seen proceeding towards the scene of the wreck. The absence of every vestige of the unfortunate vessel sadly disappointed the expecta tions of the people, who had to content th emse l ves with picking up whatever floated into sight, instead of, as they anticipated, selecting whatev6r they thought fit to appropriate. " The cargo, as nearly as the mate could form an idea, consisted of about 10,000 bushels of corn, 1,000 bales of cotton, 100 boxes of cheese, 400 barrels of rosin, 20 boxes of clocks, and other articles which may be comprised in a general cargo. " It may be proper to mention here that the point on which the ill-fated vessel was driven ashore is one of the most dangerous on the entire coast—the rock rises perpendicularly to the height of over fifty feet high, and at all seasons of the year, the swell is terrific. On the day after the wreck occurred, the Goverment vessel Badger passed through the channel for the purpose of ascertaining whether it was possible to save any portion of the wreck or cargo ; but the slightest portion by which she could be recognised, was nowhere to be seen. In the words of one of the officers, it apppeared, ras if the ship had been ground in a mill,•or as if a number of carpen ters were employed for months for the mere purpose of chipping her into fragments of some three or four feet in length,' " From some of the sailors, I ascertained the names of the survivors, both passengers and crew, and an imperfect list of some twenty or twenty-five of the cabin and steerage passengers. ' " The survivors among the crew are— " Thomas Allen, a native of Connecticut, first mate of the vessel ; James D.

As far as I could learn, the greater portion of the passengers were persons returning to Ireland from America: but any further particulars regarding them it was impossible to make out. There was no record of their names on board the ship; for on coming on board at New York, the agent called over the names of the steerage passengers who were authorised to sail in the vessel, and no list or memo randum of them was kept on board. • " The following is a list of the: crew who were drowned, as nearly as could be ascertained. The first on the list is that of the captain of the unfortu nate vessel. His name was Charles W. Popham, and I heard it mentioned that his family belonged to Cork, and that he himself was a native of this country. " Robert Gill, a native of Southampton, and second mate of the vessel. " Thomas Bills, Newhaven, America, seaman ; William Riggs, Bath, ditto; Charles Brown, New Haven, America, ditto; James Crawford, New York, ditto; Andrew Dale, a native of Denmark, ditto; John Williams, Carnarvon, Wales, ditto ; George Raymond, New Haven, 'America, ditto; Robert Griffiths, Liverpool, ditto; Benjamin Evans, America, ditto; Robert Hopp, New York, ditto; Cleary, Baltimore, ditto; Allan. Meade, America, ditto. " The names above mentioned, with those that have escaped, wo u ld g i ve a total of twenty-seven for the ship's company, leaving eighty-three for the. number of passengers on board. There were six cabin pas• sengers, all of whom perished. These were the only names with which the mate was acquainted, as he had no connexion or intercourse with the steerage passengers. They were—Mr. Roberts, of New York, who was believed to have been an `lrishman; Mr. Fordyce, a; native of Scotland ; Mrs. Thorn, a lady belonging to Devonshire ; Mr. Robinson, of Liver pool; Mr. M'Cabe, a native of Ohio; and a Dr. Swyney or Mr. Swyney, who, it was thought, was a native of some part of Ireland. The steerage pas sengers whose names (a very small minority of the entire number) I ascertained were— " James M'Glasgey, Dungiven, county of Derry; Martha Duncalf, married to a person living in Ame rica, her native place was Manchester ; Mary Tur ner, county of Derry ; Isabella Quinn, ditto; David M‘Grattan • Elizabeth Meade; Manchester; Louisa Brennan and sister, from the county of Kilkenny ; Patrick Peters on (f a th er to t h e boy who escaped), a native of Roscrea, county of Tipperary ; William Brown, America ; Bridget M'Kaith, native place unknown ; Henry Jones, South Wales; Griffiths, ditto; Egan, a native of the county of Sligo; and two young women named Rosa M'Cormick, of Liver pool, and Eliza Muller, of New York, who were at , tached to the ship in the capacity of steward's :amis. tants. " Those were all whose names were even known by the survivors; so that, unless the agent at New York can afford the necessary information, the friends and relations of the wretched sufferers will for ever remain in a state of the most painful uncertainty. " Since Wednesday evening, about eight bodies have been washed ashore ; but I did not hear with certainty that any of them were identified. One of them was the corpse of a respectably dressed female, supposed to be Mrs. Thorn, and another was that of a sailor. Some of them were interred on the island, and the others near the points where they were washed ashore. I was informed by the head con stable at Skull that he intended writing for the coroner on last evening, but he did not expect he would attend. I believe there is hardly any other circumstance of importance sufficient to refer to par ticularly, with the exception of the following most important document, drawn up by the mate of the vessel, for presentation to the owners, which briefly and fully details the particulars of this most melan. choly shipwreck. " PROTEST. " On the Bth of October last past, the shi p Stephen Whitney left the port of New York, bound for Liverpool. Nothing material occurred on the passage until Wednesday, the 10th day of November, inst., on which day, on or about two o'clock in the afternoon, the ship was hove to, and soundings were had in fifty fathoms. The weather was particularly thick, and the wind blowing very hard. The ship was under double-reefed topsails—at six &clock rat., the wind increasing, the sails were close reefed; at eight o'clock nat., made the land very close to the ship. After clearing off from the land, saw a fixed white light, which, on consulting with the captain, I took for the light on the Old Head of Kinsale, hauled off the ship on the starboard tack, heading south east by south, at nine o'clock. Considering we had suffi cient offing, steered the channel course, east by south, and at a quarter to ten the land was made ahead, the helm was put aport ; and on coming around, owing to the heavy sea then running, the ship went ashore. In a few minutes, out of one hundred and ten human beings, passengers and crew, ninety-kne perished, among whom were the captain and secoM mate. The persons who were saved lost all their property, and were left nearly naked. Every exertion was made, but owing to the wild cliff on which the vessel struck, and the darkness of the night, it was impossible to make any effort to save any part of the ship or cargo.'i document was signed by the mate, two of the crew, and John Limerick, Esq., a local ma gistrate. " The crew remain still in the village of Skull, in a state of great destituti on , arising fro m th e wan t o f clothes, and the absence f sufficient accommodation. The American Consul at Cove, Mr. Murphy, was written to by Mr. Limerick on the receipt of the distressing intelligence, and it was expected that he would arrive there on to-day or to-morrow. The only thing to be effected by. Mr. Murphy's presence will be the relief of the distressed seamen, by render ing them assistance in providing clothes, and enabling them to proceed to Liverpool, where they are anxious to arrive. As for the ship and cargo, every fragment of both has long since disappeared; and the only portions saved are a few damaged bales of cotton, and two or three boxes of cheese, which are in pos session of the officers of the Coast Guard service. " In conclusion, I may mention a 'somewhat sin gular circumstance regarding the results of this un fortunate catastrophe. Though the ship went on shoie on Wednesday evening, the slightest information of the circumstance was not known in Skibbereen, a dis tance of only fifteen miles, until a late hour on Fri day evening, and then it was circulated as a rumour of rather a doubtful character." A Fox IN CHARLOTTE. SQUARE."--A rare and ex citing scene was exhibited lately in Charlotte-square, the principal actor being a stray fox. It appears that on Sunday week the domestic servants of a gentleman, residing on the west aide of Charlotte-square, were alarmed by the crash of one o f the kitchen window panes, and the entrance of a strange lookine• which turned out to bit a large and beautiful fox, boast ing the possession of a splendid brush. A scream of terror being the only thing that hailed poor reynard, he immediately turned tail, and made exit by bolting through another pane. Nothing daunted by so un generous a reception, he popped into the next house in precisely the same unceremonious way, leaping through the window into the kitchen, where, with proverbial sa gacity, he no doubt judged a grateful refection could be most readily supplied. Again, however, he excited great consternation, and the servants ran out to the streets, frightened beyond measure. Meanwhile the sagacious stranger wended his way through several rooms and lobbies, then sprung through a window tothe back area, and over three high garden walls, when spying a back door open, he entered, walked up stairs, and presented himself in the kitchen. Some male ser vants being there, a spirited chase immediately com menced, and reynard, finding himself hard pressed in a room with the door shut, made for the window, but it was too strong for him. The fire-place was the only remaining resource, and up the vent he twice essayed, but was as often hauled down again. Thou g h bl eed i ng and terrified, and beset by such odds, hs would no t y i e l d, and a regular fight ensued, in the course of which he might 132 seen jumping over the heads of his pursuers, bouncing from cor n er to corner, snapping every noose that was thrown round his neck, alike Offing every in genious contrivance for his entanglement and the blows of his combatants, till at last a heavy rug having been thrown upon him he was held fast, and, like most of his fraternity, yielded to the unequal comdat of overwhelm ing numbers. Poor reynard's skin is now being stuffed, to commemorate his own domestic achievements and ill starred bravery.—Caledonian Mercury. A CURE FOR TILE POTATOES. — A. correspondent of the Limerick Chronicle writes as follows : —"I am convinced from practical experience that manure is the principal generator of the disease in the potato, and from that conviction I would advise every potato grower to raise his tubers for his own planting upon a piece of good ground, well worked, but taking care to give no gross food, either vegetable or animal. It is obviou s that the vit a li ty o f t h e p l an t i s impaired by the bli n d kindness of nursing it off its legs, and feeding it above its strength ; and I contend that the likeliest method of claiming that vitality is to give the plant less to do for a time, and study a little closer its natural habits, until you get rid of the disease. Can any bri e tell Inc if they have seen this parasitical fungatie disease in the root or branch of a, potato which had been entirely deprived of manure? or has any one seen the disease in the bobs, where the gross particles of the mature are absorbed, and held by capillary attraction in the poor spungy moss? lam sure any one must have observed the dif ference of flavour of the starred potato from the one which is grossly fed, the former is tt ball of nutritious flour, when the other is a tasteless furitits." liumounEn RESIGNATION.—A report has been pre valent, during the last feiv days, that Sir G. IL Smyth, Bart., contemplates an early resignation of his seat in Parliament; preferring, at his advanced period of life, the comforts of retirement to the bustling and harassing engagements of a legislator. We cannot vouch for the accuracy of the report, and only refer to it for the sake of keeping the attention of the electors awake, that they may be prepared to act on an emergency should they be called upon suddenly to elect another reuesentative in Parliament.—Essex Mercury. • • Illustrated by 26 Anatomical Coloured Engravings ma Steel.

A CLERGYMAN OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.—A benevolent pastor, residing in Belfast (whose name is withheld by his own desire) was applied to by a poor woman of his pa• ri,h who had been afflicted for four years with an awfully bad leg with sixteen wounds, and so extremely painful, that she coal not place her foot on the ground. - Feel ing for her poverty and sufferings, this humane gentle. man presented her with a supply of llollovvay's Ointment and Pills, which soundly healed her leg in about five weeks, although she had been in the Dublin Hospital for seven months, and had consulted several medical men in Ireland. —Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Hol loway's establishment, 244, Strand, Londo n , A.

THE OATH OF ABJURATION TO THE EDITOR OF Tun TIMES. Sir,—As the question will shortly arise whether Baron Rothschild is entitled to represent this City in Parliament, it may be well to consider the arguments of those who seek to limit the efficacy of our suffrages by maintaining the contrary. The position taken by these reasoners is briefly this :—The faculty of re presenting a constituency in the House of Commons, say they, is a civil right, which cannot be claimed by a race who are aliens in the eye of the law, or who at any rate are specially disqualified in this par ticular, by the necessity of taking the oath of abjuration " on the true faith of Christians" before they can sit. Now, that the Jews are ali e n s , i s a vu l gar error, which the mere fact of their enjoying the franchise disproves. This has not escaped the notice of their adversaries. A writer in the last Quarterly goes indeed so far as to suggest that they vote only by sufferance; but the reason he assigns is, that the bribery oath, which any elector on coming to the poll may be required to take, must always be administered "on the Evangelists ;" a statement, Sir, which I need hardly tell your readers is incorrect. No such provision is made by the statute which prescribes the oath. Its administration, therefore, is regulated by the common law, which ever since the case of " Ornychund - v. Barker," decided by Lord Hard wicke, has been held to be, that whenever an oath is legally requisite it must be administered in the form most binding according to the religion of the person sworn. Driven from this, our crusading politicians resort to their other stronghold. At any rate, they cry, the conclusion of the oath of abjuration—" on the true faith of a Chrittian"—must operate as the Shibboleth of aspiring Israelites until the Legislature formally dispense with its use. And this. of course is equiva lent to saying, that the House of Commons is in competent by mere motion to make such a remission on the approaching occasion. Let us examine this point. Everybody knows that the House is the sole ex tp o nz i t t s o f p t r h o e laws v nc ei n passed th is r by e e t c h t e b S e t i a n t for its regula tion, g e pre cs e r l y ul a t that of a judge with a case under his cognizance. Both declare, neither makes, the law. The oath of abju ration is, in a legal point of view, merely one of those formulae with which statutes abound. And it may be laid down as a general rule on this subject, that a strict adherence to the letter of such forms is,, by the practice of the courts, only so far required es may be necessary in order to convey the full force of what the statute contemplates. To apply the analogy :—lf Baron Rothschild takes, or offers to take, this oath minus the phrase in ques tion, the House will be called on to decide simply whether such an omission on his part in any way impairs the force which the entire form of words was meant by its framers to possess ; and if ay, to refuse him his seat. Very little foresight, however, is necessary to see how such a test must operate. A single glance at the oath itself shows that it was concocted with a view to excluding the Stuarts from the throne ; but an inference is attempted to be drawn from the concluding phrase, that it also embodies the ulterior design of excluding non-Christians from the House of Commons. Now, in the first pl ace , if thi s be true, its fram ers have ailed, for it seems pretty clear that any loyal Atheist might take it without falsehood ; and secondly, apart from this considera tion (which it should be premised is not essential to our argument), precedent, and the acts of the Legis ture itself, alike belie such an interpretation. First, let us take the case of an Atheist. The oath consists of three parts : the abjuration of the Stuarts ; a pledge that as surely as the person sworn is a Christian he will abide by such abjuration; and a calling on God to witness. What is there in this form, as it stands, at which a Jew or a Deist stum bles ? 'Why cannot either openl7. declare, " I will take your oath in Coto, and obey its obli ga ti on ; b ut the clause which further pledges my obedience on the existence of a nonentity, viz., my faith in Christianity, is simply nugatory, and of itself no more affects my veracity, than were Ito promise, that as surely as I am what lam n o t I would fulfil vow." This line of conduct is abstained from, not because it is held discreditable to evade an imputed object of the Legis • lature who inserted the phrase ; were this so coaches and-six would not so often be driven through Acts of Parliament without demur or scandal, nor would so many " honourablegentlemen"elude the propertyquali fication by getting asufficientestate conveyed to them selves the day before, and reconveyed th e d a y a f ter taking their oaths. No; Jews and Deists are with held solely by the consideration, that it would be impious mockery to invoke the Divine attestation to a triviality. But what weight can this have with one who believes that there is no Deity to mock ? If, therefore, the phrase in question was pointed against non-Christians, it has at any rate failed in reaching their most objectionable variety. Let us next look to precedent. The oath of supre macy was notoriously of an analogous character to that now claimed for the oath of abjuration. It was framed to exclude Romanists from public offices and dignities. How was this object achieved? By tacking on to the tail of some oath, adapted throughout its whole composition to a different purpose, the words " on the true faith of a Protestant ?" Had this been done, Catholic emancipation would not have cost such a struggle. No ; Parliament took good care to make the entire oath subserve to 'so frank a denial of Papal supremacy as no Romanist could adopt. Lastly, have the acts of the Legislature itself coun tenanced the interpretation now put forward ? On the contrary, when the two substitutes were framed for the oaths of allegiance, supremacy, and abjuration —the one for Papists, the other for Quakers to use— this redoubtable phrase, so pregnant with legislative force, failed to find its way into the new forms, and was not even rendered by an equivalent. Can Jew or Gentile resist the inference, that the sole purpose of the oath in question was to abjure the Stuarts—that in all likelihood its framers did not even contemplate the possibility of its being ever adminis tered to non-Christians—far less that they provided against such a contingency ? And if, Sir, this is the conclusion at which the House of Commons is bound to arrive, then is Baron Rothschild entitled to take the oath shorn of its Shibboleth; and the effect of our suffrages is indefeasible. The question, therefore, of religious or political ex p e di ency i s superfluous; for it would be both inexpedient, and something worse, to violate the law. I beg, Sir, to sign myself (with whatever historical impropriety), HACKNEY. Nov. 17. Your obedient servant, A TEMPLAR. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH IN LIYERPOOL.—The wires have now been carried under the streets from the railway station, Lime-street, Liverpool, to the new office of the Commercial Electric Telegraph Company, Ex change Buildings, nearly opposite the Exchange News Hoorn. There are nine copper wires, all inclosed in one small, iron tube, about the thickness of a finger, and yet the whole had been so carefully preserved from contact with each other throughout the whole distance, about a mile, that when tested there was not the slightest de flection of the needles, which would have been the case had any two of the wires touched each other at any point along the whole line. At the corner of Water-street, a diverging group of nine wires, inclosed in an iron pipe, is carried along that street, towards the docks and the river-'—with what intention we have not heard ; but it is not unlikely this is to form the commencement of a line of electrico-telegraphic communication, terminating at Holyhead. For some months of every winter, and very frequently in the other parts of the year, the present line of telegraphs are rendered useless for a time, by dense fogs obstructing the vision of the officers at the different stations who have to k,pep a look-out. This has been a g te r i e e a g O ra d ;h a s w ; ba n c o k d o it w t o h u e l d u b t i e l i a ty g r o e f a t t h b e o p n r t e o s e t n h t e m r a e n r g c e a n o!' tile cprelinunity, if communication with Holyhead could be rendered independent of fog or darkness, and be made at any hour of the day and night—especially with the immense Additional advantage of possessing the means of asking questions and receiving answers, as to the vess2ls in sight, &c. Amongst other uses, important news brought by a mail steam-ship from the United States might be telegraphed direct to Liverpool, Manchester, and London, twelve hours before the steamer, could reach Liverpool to land her passergers and mail bags.

Pottaxar OF BANK-NOTES.---A gentlemanly looking mar., named William Theophilus Greene, who is supposed to have been passinT, forged notes purporting to be the notes of the North Wilts Bank Company, in the city of Bath and th© neighbourhood, to a very great extent, has been committed to the prison of Bath on three charges of passing 51. notes to tradesmen. llis plan was to purchase goods at various shops, and tender 51. notes for payment, obtaining the difference in gold or silver. When taken to gaol he was searched by Mr. Pike, the governor, who found on him fifteen notes for 51. each, purporting to be of the North Wilts Bank, all of which were forgeries, and also 241. in gold and 5/. in silver. He will be tried at the next assizes. Two per sons, who are supposed to be his confederates, have been endeavouring to pass similarly forged notes at Devize s but have not yet b een a pp re h ended.

ASSASSINATION IN FERMANAGH— DEATH OF MR. HASSARD. DUBLIN, Nov. 16.—Accounts from Fermanagh announce that Mr. W. Ilassard, the treasurer of that county, who was fired at and wounded in his own demesne on Saturday evening, expired yesterday morning. It is admitted on all hands that this ill fated gentleman was a good landlord, and that he was deservedly popular in the district where he resided. For many years Fermanagh has been free from crimes of this description, and the commencement of such an atrocious system with the murder of a worthy and benevolent country gentleman has pro duced considerable alarm in the county. The latest intelligence respecting the attempt on the life of Mr. Bayly, J.P., is given in the following communication from the edit )r of the Tipperary Vindicator to the Dublin Evening Post :—" An inde scribable sensation of horror was created in Nenagh, about six o'clock on the evening of Saturday, by Mr. Michael Head, son of Dean Head, driving in all haste through the streets, and announcing that his brother-in-law, R. U. Bayly, E sq ., J.P., o f Ballina clogh, with whom he had left town in the gig of Mr. Bayly about half•an-hour before, had been shot at Casey's-cross—a place within a mile and a half of town. A more useful, energetic, patient, and excel lent public man did not live in the Ormonds than Mr. Bayly. He devoted a great portion of his time to the business of the union of which he was chairman, doing all he could to give effect to the law for the support of the poor, and otherwise employed in carrying out measures for their amelioration. The assassin fired from behind a wall. The ball or slug penetrated Mr. Head's hat, slightly grazing the scalp ; it passed out, hit Mr. Bayly. in the jaw, going through the mouth, carrying away the teeth and part of the jaw bone, and escaping near the back part of the neck. The assas• sins fied—three of them, it is said, being present. Dr. Quin of Nenagh was at once in attendance. " Up to this hour (seven o'clock, P.m.), Mr. Bayly remains in the same state. No material change, one way or the other, in his condition. His most amiable wife and infant family have the sympathies of the entire community. Hope remains that he may re cover. There has been no discovery, as yet, of the assassin." Surgeon Cusack returned to Dublin last night, and we are glad to say entertains favourable hopes of Mr. Bayly's recovery. ILLNESS OF THE LORD CHANCF.LLOR -It was announced to-day that the Lord Chancellor will not sit until Monday next, in consequence of illness. His Lordship is suffering from a severe attack of influenza. POOR-LAW ELECTORAL DI VISIONS.--The Poor law Commissioners have come to a decision on the long -pending question of creating the Devon estate, in the county of Limerick, into a separate electoral division. They have declined to make any such change in the existing system. The decision is one of great importance in connexion with the fiscal arrangements of the poor-law.

TENANT RIGHT.—MEETING OF TUE COUNTY or Coux.—A great county meeting will be held in this city early in December, for the purpose of petition. ing the Legislature in favour of tenant right.—Cork Examiner. THE LATE POISONING in SOUTH Yesterday the jury empanelled to inquire into the death of Mrs. Frances Sheridan, was resumed before Mr. Baker, for the fourth time, at the Dolphin Tavern. Mr. Jarman, from Mr. Humphrey's, attended for the accused. The CORONER remarked that the evidence of Dr. Letheby showed that poison had existed in deceased's frame for some weeks prior to her death. During that period she had been visited by a large number of medical gentlemen, and as it was a matter of notoriety that irritant poisons were administered under peculiar circumstances, he (the coroner) deemed it of the greatest importance that the medical witnesses should give a negative to that supposition in the present case. Mr. Frederick Toulmin said he found deceased, on the 23d October, in a state of prostration, vomiting violently. The symptoms exhibited the effects of an irritant, but witness learning that she had been ill three or four days, had no suspicion of the fact. Mr. Flacon subsequently attended. Catherine Sheridan, accused's sister, was then called, and detailed the substance of her evidence given at 'Worship -street. Deceased had beef tea, arrow-root, &c., which was made in a room adjoining deceased's bedroom. Shortly before last Christmas witness took from her brother's waistcoat pocket two white powders, large enough to cover a shilling, and upon witness asking him what they were, he appeared angry, and said " What is that to you P" Witness again asked what they were for, ant he replied, "It's morphine—l want it for my own use." The annuity payable to the deceased was secured by the Excise. The policy of 500/. secured on the death of the ac cused was also at the instance of the Excise. Witness was once in the accused's company, while about to pay the premium, when he said that the family would not have a farthing of that money. They had already had too much of him, and he would not have accepted the Excise situation if he had known the burden he would have to bear. She became exhausted, and after a discussion as to the propriety of examining her at greater length, the further evidence was postponed until Tuesday. THE BISHOP or MANCIIESTER ELECT.—Yester day (Wednesday), at twelve o'clock, the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral Church of Manchester met within the chapter-house at the cathedral. The meeting was summoned by the Rev. the Dean in the usual way, in obedience to the conge d'elire issued by her Majesty and accompanying letter-missive, commanding the Chapter to elect the Rev. James Prince Leo, of King Edward's Free School, Birmingham, to the office of First Bishop of Manchester. Of the Chapter, which consists of five members, only three, the legal quorum, were present on the occasion, viz., the Very Rev. tlle Dean of Manchester, the Rev. Cecil I). Wray, the Sub- Dean and Senior Canon, and the Rev. Canon Oswald Sergeant. The Rev. Canon Clifton is absent on the Continent, having been called away by the illness of his mother ; and Canon Parkinson is at present resi dent at St. Bees' College, Cumberland, of which he is Principal. The Chapter having been con stituted in the regular way ; the royal mandate and missive were produced by the Dean, atter which, having satisfied themselves of the eligibility of Mr. Lee, they. proceeded at once to elect that gentleman to the vacant bishopric. The Chapter then certified their election under their hand and. seal, to be transmitted to her Majesty, and io virtue of which Mr. Lee will assume the title of Bishop of Manchester, and be entitled to all the dignities of his office. The only re ma i n i ng d uty was for the Chapter to appoint gentlemen to act as proctors, to inform the Rev. Gentleman of his election, and to acquaint the Chapter whether or no he accepts the appointment. Mr. F. Robarts and Mr. Austin were nominated to this duty. The Chapter then broke up. We understand that Mr. Gutteridge's charges against Mr. Lee did not come before the Chapter in any shape or form, and no protest or expression of a dissent from the appointment from any quarter came before them. The general feeling in Manchester appears to be in favour of the course pursued by Mr. Lee, of seeking to have the charges cleared up by an appeal to the civil tribunals. TUTOR TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE OF WALES.—It is rumoured in this quarter—and the ru mour has some semblance of truth—that Dr. Philpott, Master of Catherine-hall, who performed the honours of Vice-Chancellor during the visit of her Majesty and Prince Albert at the late installation, is about to be ap pointed tutor to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. It is certain that Dr. Philpott has just returned from a visit to Windsor Castle, at which he is reported in the Court Circular to have dined twice with her Majesty. 1)r. Philpott's courteous and dignified de meanour, united to attainments of a high ord'r, would admirably fit him for the high and delicate trust of di recting the youthful studies of the heir presumptive ; and perhaps the discharge of these i mportant dutie s would not be incompatible with his retention of the Mastership of Catherine-hall. At the late installation her Majesty and Prince Albert honoured Dr. Philpott, as Vice-Chancellor, by dining at Catherine Lod ge ... Cambridge Advertiser.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.—We are enabled to state that the extension of contract entered into between the Government and this company for the conveyance of mails direct, hence to New York, and vice versa, will be carried into execution on the ht of January next. This portion of the company's service will be commenced by the Cambria leaving this port for New York direct on the Ist of January; the Hibernia starting from that city on the same day for Liverpool. The Boston line will be continued as before, running intermediately with that to New York, and thus affording the public of both countries a fortnightly communication during the winter, and a weekly one during the summer months. It will be a subject of congratulation to the whole mercantile community, who are so particularly dependent on the regularity of mail conveyance, that this extension has been accorded to a company who for some years have succeeded in maintaining by their complete and business-like arrangements such a wonderful preci ,ion in the public service they have already performed. the intervening departures of these ships will be, the Britannia, for Boston, on the 19th November. Ilibernia, for Boston, on the 4th December. Caledonia, for Boston, on the 18th December. Cambria, fur New York, on the Ist January, 1848. SINGULAR DEATIL—On the 2d instant a young uple who had b.en married that morning, resolved to oats a few days of the honeymoon in Brussels, and ac . ordingly took the train for that city. On their arrival at Abilities, the husband got out of the train to procure some refreshments for his wife; but unfortunately the train proceeded on its course before his return. He im mediately resolved to hire a two-horse conveyacce to Brussels (about four French leagues distant), and soon started on his journey. Towards nightfall a thick fog (the first of the season) arose. All, however, went on well until the carriage reached one of the suburbs of Brussels, near Lacken, when the deiver, not See O in m g ea h n i : way clearly, drove off the high road into the can a l. The unfortunate individual in the c a r r i age having 110 of extricating himself, was drowned, as were also tho two horses. The coachman contrived to jump off his seat and to save himself by swim inint!. Mean time the ss ifs arrived at her place of destination, where she passed the night. The next morning, finding that her husband did not arrive by any of the trains from Malines, she became greatly alarmed, and spoke on the subject to some of the gentlemen eon aected with the railway. About ten P.M. the accident bocame known to them, and they sent off an rxpress to Antwerp in order to communicate it to the family of the deceased. His brother immediately went up to town, and after having given the first orders respecting the body of his unfortunate relative, conducted the widow of the deceased back to Antwerp, where, after much precaution, she learned, fur the first time, the melan choly intelligence.• A great sensation has been caused here by the apprehension el Mr. George Thurtell, the well-known florist, and latterly professing landscape garden* r, on • o f several felonies.

A gentleman of the same class as the one so suc cessfully bunted Out of Manchester by Mr. Berwick, hes lately made his appearance in Sheffield. He gave his name George Jackson, and took a hot:se and shop next door to the Royal Hotel, at a rent of 601. per annum, of Mr. Waterhouse, confectioners, Westbar. This house was to. be opened as a provision warehouse on a large scale—the gentleman having a br• ther in Manche s - er, who was a wholesale dealer in the same line cf business; and also havin g large connexions in Belfast, from_ whence a great portion of the provi sions were to come. Having taken so respectable a house, he desired to be supplied with all he wanted by respectable tradesmen. Mr. Galbraith, of Norfolk street, ii therefore honoured with an order for some first-rate clothes, which are accordingly supplied without delay. Mr. Staniforth also supplies him with a suit adapted to the shop and serving of flour; and some unfortunate cordwainer is walked into for a pair of boots. Being thus rigged as to the outer man, it is no wonder that our gentleman should have had en imposing appearance. Mr. Jones, of the Market-place, is duly honoured with an order for carpeting, drapery, &c., to the tune of about 30/., and Mr. Bussey, of Angel-street, for furniture to about the same amount. Mr. Wilks is applied to for a proper quantity of , A eights and scales; and Mr. Loxley, of Castle-hill, puts up a large flour bin, counter, shelving, &c., to the amount of some 161. Mr. Ellis has the happiness of supplying the glass ; and some respectable brewer sends in divers barrels of ale .ol.first rate quality. Asaportion of the business %a : to be o mductol on the reciprocity principle, the gentleman wt o fur nished the boots sent his wife for some flour, but Mr. George Jacksoa's shop had not opened. Orly r trades• men, too, who N% ere to be paid cash, sent in the - abilis, but the expense of fitting up the :-liip was :.:o great that they must wait a day or t o. They.did waif, but no cash was forthcoming; and what seemed most strange was that Mr. George Jackson did not open his strop. At length human patience could no further go, 4nd one or two of the creditors who began to suspect they had been duped, effected an entrance into the premises, when they found that all that could be pawned or sold was gone, aid that the bird himself had taken wing. The carpenter directly removed his flour bin, coun ter, and sh e l ves , and some f urn it ure was also re claimed. ' O n making further inquiry it was ascer tained that Mr. Jones's carpeting was pawned in - Sheffield-moor, and all that was moveable is supposed to have been disposed of in a similar maned.. When the mischief was done, and the swindler gone, appli cation was made to the police, as to reclaimin g the pawned goods, but as these bad been bona file sold, no assistance could be rendered. A robbery like this ought to operate as a warning to our tradesmen against supplying parties with goods without first being satisfied of the reasonable probabi lity of payment for the articles furnished. This gentleman stands about 5 feet 8 inches in height, is of a light complexion, with red whiskers. and appears to be between 35 and 40 years of age, 0
