I EVENING ED ITIAN NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. GENERAL POST-OFFICE, AUGUST, 1840. The practice of Sealing Letters passing to and from the East and West Indies, and other warm Climates, with Wax, is attended with much inconvenience, and frequently with serious injury to the Letters, in consequence of the Melting of the Wax, and Adhesion of the Letters to each other. In the case of a Mail recently received from India, consider able delay was occasioned at this Office, and notwithstanding the greatest care was taken in separating the Letters, which owing to the cause already mentioned, adhered closely together, many were much damaged and torn ; the Public are therefore recommended in all possible cases to use Wafers in preference to Wax, in sealing their Letters sent to India or other warm Climates, and also to advise their Correspondents in those Countries to pursue the same course. Postmasters are also enjoined to give every publicity to this caution. RIOTS AT COLNE. No. 14,960. LONDON, 11ILTRNDAY, AtiGt ST 20, k4O. PRICE sd. AUSTRALIND, WESTERN AUSTRALIA.

As the Regulation laid down in the Notice of last month, • No. 6, appears not to be distinctly understood and acted upon, it is necessary again to remind the public and all Postmasters, Sub-Postmasters, and Letter Receivers, that letters addressed to British North America or the Uni•ed States, not plainly written on to go "by private ship,' must be considered as in tended to be forwarded by the Contract Steam Packets from Liverpool to Halifax and Boston, and the Packet Postage of One Shilling must be charged or taken accordingly. A very common practice exists of writing upon Letters ad dressed to the United States, " By New York Packet," " Via New York," • " Via Liverpool," &c. And many Postmasters have only taken the Ship Letter Rate e ! Eightpence upon such Letters. It is repeated, therefore , that every Leak to North America NOT INTJENDED t• go by the Liverpool, Halifax, and Boston Contract Steam Packets blast be distinguished by the words, " By Ship;" or, " By Private Ship." And any. Postmaster, after this notice, receiving Letters not So distinguished at less than the Packet Rate of One Shilling, 'ender half an ounce weight, and so on, will be surcharged and c ompelled to make good the difference. By command, W. L. MABERLY, Secretary.

To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and te mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We kave no hesitation, however, in saying thatithere is me member of society, by whom the b ook will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person te hold the relation et a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth muck more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very muck assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby te judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real cause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled te check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred"charactcr, is at mice concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished.

So few are the horses now attracting the slightest notice, that quotations will be needless. Laun celot is daily on the rise; Crucifix, the reverse. Against the former at noon, 400 to 200 was laid; BO to 25, as well as some smaller sums at that price, were got on. So eager, however, were the acceptors, that 100 to 55 was pencilled down, which must be considered the outside offer ; 100 to 10, " bar two," was repeatedly given out, but, under 12 to 1, the mare had no friends beyond very small sums, 11 to 1 was offered in ponies • Bto 1 would have been taken on Gibraltar—a point less Offered. Broad weal and Theon both a good deal inquired after; but we saw no business done—the layers would not " come out" with 14 to 1 against the former, and 20 to 1 against the latter. 200 to 11 was at last taken on Theon, rather eagerly. 100 to 8 was offered against Broddwath ; also 14 to 1 against Maroon. Galen's friends were silent, plenty laying against him and some others—but Launcelot seems to stop all notion of a " turn up." Dr. Caius was offered against at 25 to 1 ; Viceroy backed at that figure —then 20 to 1 offered ; 200 to 4 offered against Calypso (takers to 3); 40 to 1 offered against Alonzo. The field was offered to he taken against any two; and just as the room broke up, sto 4, in a very good quarter, would have been taken that they named the winner at twice.

THE STEAM-SHIP ORIENTAL.—This superb new vessel of 1,673 tons and 450 horse power, the:first of the new line established by Government for the convey ance of the East India mails via Gibraltar, will come round from Liverpool to Southampton this week. The Directors of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Corn pany, we understand, intend to throw her open to the in spection of the public for a few days for the benefit of the Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners Benevolent Society. Visitors to it will be admitted on their contributing a trifling sum each to the fund of that most excellent institution. By the new arrangements for transmitting the !mails to India, the first mail via Falmouth will be made up in London on the 31st instant. There is some talk or starting Mr. Roebuck for Manchester. The struggle which is going on in Scotland be tween the advocates of ecclesiastical domination, fighting under the mask of popular rights, and the supporters of the sober and the moderate system of government which has been established by law, and has hitherto prevailed in the Kirk, naturally directs attention to the constitution of the Scottish Esta blishment. To the satisfaction of our southern readers who may be desirous of information on this s ubject, derived from a source of unquestionable authority, we subjoin a brief and accurate outline of that constitution, for which we are indebted to a pamphlet lately published by Dr. Morison, minister of Banchory Devenick, in Aberdeenshire. To the careful reader we think it will appear that if unqualified persons gain admission into the Kirk, the blame must rest solely with the clergy, to whom the State has allowed powers, ample enough in all conscience, for their exclusion. Honest and sober minded Christians of all denominations will, we think, unite with one voice in saying, let these diligently and faithfully, and b e e xe n r o cised need of new laws to prevent intru sionpt o e w r ee:Lsiblle TN CLERGY. The State, while it made provision for our Church, in a pecuniary point of view, so as to render them inde pendent of those over whom they were placed, left it to the Church to frame and to enforce such a system of education• for her Clergy, such evidence of their purity of life and conversation, and such tests of their orthodoxy, as she might deem necessary to their use fulness and respectability : and, accordingly, the curri culum of clerical education has been, from time to time, extended, so as to keep pace with the advancement of general knowledge in the community. And whilst pa tronage is a part of thi system, the choice of the patron is strictly limited to those whom the Church has pro nounced qualified to perform the duties of a parish minister, but making it imperative upon both the patron and the presentee to swear allegiance before a Magistrate, to the civil authorities of the realm, and to furnish the Presbytery with evidence that they have done so. Nor is the Church satisfied with attestations from the several professors whose classes they have attended, in favour of candidates for the holy ministry. They are subjected to searching examinations of proficiency in their studies, and the articles of their belief ; and are required, before being licensed, to prepare discourses from texts prescribed, in order to ascertain their critical knowledge of the Scriptures, their controversial abilities for defending the doctrines of the Church, and their popular talents for explaining the Sacred Volume, and enforcing on their hearers the pure morality of the Gos pel. And so cautious is the Church in regard to the character and conduct of those who apply for a license to preach the Gospel, that every sueh applicant must be proposed by a member of Presbytery, and the proposal laid on the table till the subsequent ordinary meeting of that body, that the members may have time for becom ing personally acquainted with him, and for every ne cessary inquiry, respecting his prudence and good con duct : that the Court are then , being alone, to judge e he t r o t th ak ey e h w im ill on ap t p r l ia y ls, which it is to the Pro incompetent for the Presbytery to do with out t h e per . for e w l e h a e v t mission of the superior Court. And be it o b serve d, t h e v a i n n d e a d l e s t e y r n m o d i n Presbytery's application to the Synod must be by cir cular letters to every Presbytery within its bounds, dated at least two months before the meeting of Synod, and accompanied with the necessary certificates ; all which documents must be read by the clerk, in open Court, at the first diet, and no deliverance given forth till the last diet of the Synod. It is impossible to conceive what greater security a patron can have, that, in presenting a licentiate of the Church to a vacant living, he presents a man every way qualified to perform the duties of a parish Minister. Nor is this all ; after every other preliminary step has been taken, the presentee must, previously to his ordina tion and collation, undergo, with approbation, a second course of trial, similar to that already described ; affording the best security that his literary pursuits, and clerical studies,have not been neglected since he obtained a license to preach the Gospel, and that his religious opinions and moral character remain untainted. NO GROUND FOR THE CHARGE OP INTRUSIO N. 2. But, in the second place, we find, in the " Form of Church Government," sanctioned by the Act of Assembly, 164.5, that " No man is to be ordained a Minister for a congregation, if they of that congregation can show just cause of exception against him." This enactment was adopted as a security against that kind of intrusion, to which patronage, as exercised at that early period, gave rise, namely, vesting with the clerical cha racter, and placing in parishes, men whose ignorance and immorality formed an insurmountable bar to their usefulness. Such intrusion as this could not now be practised by the exercise of patronage in its least guarded form. Previously to 1884, our Church dealt with the people, not as persons weak and silly, who might " entertain valid objections which they were unable to express in intelligible lan guage e t h at the e once manner give way re cognised tn e s s of b a y t but "l !" nor yet as possessing qualities for judging of the fitness hitherto clergyman, e t rg C " h l u a r n Ch, m t o w 7 as rational well-informed Chri s ti a ns, acquainted 1 the doctrines of the Church of which they were mem bers, hers, and resolved to maintain th em . It provided for them a well-educated and moral clergy,---their ortho doxy tested by their subscribing the Confession of Faith and Formula, prescribed by Act of Assembly, 1711 ; and it afforded to all an opportunity of stating any ob jection they, or any of them, might entertain to the doctrine, life, or conversation of the presentee to the vacant parish. All such objections were to be judged of by the Presbytery, and, if found just and reasonable, stopt procedure. If the presentee was not an ordained clergyman, he was appointed by the Presbytery to preach, at least once, in the vacant church, that the peo ple might hear him. An edict was then served, intimating the day of the call, with an interval of ten days, at least, when all had an opportunity of inviting the presentee to become their pastor, and thus encouraging his heart and strengthen his hands. Thereafter, the call having been returned to the Presbytery and sustained, and the pre sentee having gone through his s econd trials with ap probation, an edict was again served, with the same in ducinii, of ten days, appointing a day for the settlement. On this occasion, when the Presbytery had been con stituted by prayer, intimation was three times made, at the most patent door of the church, that if there is any valid objection to the presentee's being inducted into the sacred office of Pastor of the parish, it may be im mediately brought forward and substantiated by suffi- Fleet proof : and, be it observed here, that whilst ob jections to a presentee are competent at any ti me, i f brought forward by libel, ten free days were afforded by intimation from the pulpit, to all the parishioners, t o frame their objections, if any they had, to the life, doc trine, or moral conduct of the presentee, and to produce the evidence by which such objections might be sub stantiated, on the day a ppointed for his collation. Such was undeniably the law and practice of the Church prior to 1834, and such continues to be her law and far practice, (excepting in so as these have been violated by the veto enactment) ; clearly showing, that every means consistent with rea son and common sense, has been employed to pre vent the intrusion of unfit and unqualified pastors into the parishes of Scotland. And if it has sometimes hap pened that a minister has been_ *nducted i nto a par i sh, in regard to whom an unfavourable impression had been made on the minds of the people, it has, in almost every case, been efface d b y a zealous and dili gent atten tion to the spiritual interests, welfare, and accommoda tion of his parishioners.' onK SESSION. THE The constituent members of the Kirk Session are an indefinite number of lay e lders, along with the minister of the parish, who is moderator, and in whose absence no business can be transacted. He is strictly bound to residence in his parish -- a suitable mans e an d g l e b e beinv provided for him , and maintained at th e p u bli c sharg, c ; that, like the father of a large family, he may L‘e ever at hand, not only to dispense to them the o rdinances of the Gospel, but to give them sound counsel and advice, both in public and in private, in regard to t hose things that concer n t h e i r tempora, l comfort, and their eternal welfare. In support of his authority, the keys of the parish church are com mitted to h im ; and no other clergyman, connect ad with the Establit hment, can preach or dispense th e sacra ments within his parish, without his permission, under the pain of ecclesiastical censure.-1- In the forma tion of this Court, great r egar d i s h ad to the temporal as w i ell as spiritual interests of the people. The elders are chosen' from among the parishioners, had to the respectability of th e i r strict regard being character, both in a mora l and religious p o i nt o f v i ew ; an d previously to ordination, by prayer and g i v i ng the rii ;ht hand of fellowsl.'iP, an opportunity is afforded to th e people, by edictal citation from the pulpit, to state c they have, to their orna ' any objections, if any gi.iti on. The Elders are a2hso req (Aeration that they uired to sub scr ib e r a t de to the stand ar d s o f our 1 Church, and to the Presbyterian form of Church go ' vernment, as by law established. Of this Court three is a quorum, and the business committed to it is various and important. It nominates a treasurer, commonly one of their own number, who acts without fee or reward, and a clerk, generally the parochial schoolmaster, with a small salary. To the Elders, as individuals, the super intendence of the several districts of the parish, most conti guous to their places of residence, is intrusted ; and if, in their several districts, any breach of the Sabbath Day, any riotous behaviour, or any gross immorality takes place, or contempt is shown to any salutary regu lation, given forth by the Session, they report the same to that Court, at its first meeting, that it may determine whether any, or what, steps it may deem it for edifica tion to take in the matter. The Session fixes the hour of meeting for public wor ship, the time for dispensing the Lord's Supper, and ap points days for fasting, on account of adverse dispensa tions of Providence, and of thanksgiving for signal ma nifestations of the Divine favour. It takes cognizance of all cases of scandal, notorious drunkenness, or other gross immorality ; and suspends from, or restores to, Church privileges, including admission to the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, as shall appear most likely to promote the best interests of individuals and of the community. To the Kirk Session belongs the power of granting certificates of moral and religious character to all persons who, having resided in, are about to leave the parish ; or, upon good grounds, withholding or mo difying such certificates. On the Kirk Session, too, devolves the whole ma nagement of the Poors' Funds, and their appropriation for the suppoit of the claimants, the heritors seldom exercising their right to interfere—a work this of no small labour and responsibility ; and although legal counsel is not admissible before a Kirk Session, yet an appeal May be taken to the Presbytery, and, in some cases of character, even to the Civil Courts. The vast importance of this Court, then, to the moral and religious health of the community, as well as to the care of the poor, requires no demonstration, end should be regarded with feelings of gratitude to the Elders who give their trouble and attention without any remunera tion. Nor is it less obvious that this Court could only exercise its functions with effect, under the parochial system. It must be evident that a sort of filial regard to the parish in which they were born, or in which they have long resided, and veneration for the Church in which their fathers worshipped, and for the church-yard where their mortal remains are deposited, contribute not a little to the influence of the Kirk Session on the con duct of the parishioners. THE PRESBYTERY. The next Court, in the scale referred to, is the Pres bytery, composed of all the parish Ministers within it 3 bounds, as laid down by what is called the Platform of the Church, alongst with a lay Elder out of every Kirk Session, which may choose to commission one of their number to sit as a constitutional member, both of the Presbytery and Synod ; but this commission must be renewed previously to every meeting of the latter of these Courts. In regard to the regularity of such commissions, the Church have always been punctilious, restricting the right to vote to constituent members only, in so much, that in the case of an assistant and successor to a clergyman, he can have no voice in any matter coming before a Presbytery, when his principal is present ; which is rendered the more necessary, as matters not unfrequently come before Presbyteries, which involve the civil interests of third parties, such as decrees for the renewal or repair of Churches, Manses, and Offices, and excambion of Glebes, &c. J The busi ness of this Court is extensive and multifarious. Be. sides the cognizance of grosser delinquencies, which, by the form of process, must be brought before them from Kirk Sessions, applications for advice, &c. — upon them is devolved all examinations of stu dents in theology—trials for licences to preach the Gospel, and conferring such licenses—the examination and collation of presentees to vacant parishes--revising and attesting Session records—also all the business aris ing out of the temporalities of parishes already referred to, in so far as these have been entrusted to the Church by its compact with the State. Another important branch of the duty of this Court is the annual exami nation, by committees of their members, of all the parish schools within their bounds, in order to making up an accurate report of their state, to be laid before the Education Committee of the General As sembly. This Presbyterial visitation has a salutary ef fect in stimulating to exertion both teachers and scholars. Of this Court all the constituent members aro members of Synod, and by the constitution they elect a certain number of their body to sit and vote in the General As sembly of the Church. These elections must be made within sixty and without forty days of the meeting of the Assembly, which is fixed to the third Thursday of May in each year ; and the number of representatives from each Presbytery, both Clergymen and Elders, de pends upon the number of its constituent members. THE SYNOD. The next Ecclesiastical Court to the Presby tery, in the ascending scale, is the Provincial Synod. By our platform or scheme of Church polity, the whole of Scotland is divided into parishes, each with its Minister and Kirk Session ; and then, again, into Presbyteries, embracing a certain number of parishes, more or fewer, according to the circumstances of popu lation and locality ; and, finally, into Provinces, whose boundaries are also fixed with an eye to the accommo dation of the Presbyteries included within the bounds of each province, in which a Synod is appointed to be held at stated times once every year, and in most instances twice. The constituent raembers of this Court are, first, all the Parochial Clergy within the province, including Professors of Divinity, if Clergymen, located within its bounds ; secondly, a lay Elder from every Kirk Session, the regularity of whose commission is ascertained ; and, thirdly, Correspondents from the two Synods on either side of it. This Commission of correspondence consists of one or two Clergymen and a lay Elder, who delibe rate and vote in all matters coming before the Synod ; which is a most beautiful arrangement, connecting, as by a chain passing through the Provincial Synods, the who Ecclesiastical Establishment of Scotland, and is of g-reat importance, as by the report of the Correspondenii.q, which is regularly called for, infor mation is obtained of the views and measures which oc cupy the attention pf each Synod, and brotherly and friendly intercourse maiOtained throughout the Church. The Synod is a Court o! Review of the proceedings of all the Presbyteries of whit..lll it is composed. All Presbytery Records must be b:ought up, at stated times, to the Synod, who appoint vb:iters to examine them, and to report upon the regularit; of their pro ceedings, and that nothing has been done . contrary to the laws and usages of the Church ; and all the Mo derators of Presbyteries- may be examined by the Synod on the same subject, previously to the close Pf the Synod, at a diet denominated for privy censures always held with shut doors. This Court is also a Court of appeal in all causes eriginating in the inferior Judicatures, with the excep• tion of such as have zeference to Churches, Manses, &c. On these the Synod usually gives forth a sentence, which, if not acquiesced in by both parties, is carried by appeal to the General Assembly, to which doubtful cases not unfrequently go up by reference. The Synod, too, is frequently called upon to judge of cases re ferred to them for advice by Presbyteries, and to decide upon complaints against the proceedings of , Presbytery, protested against by members of that Court. The Synod, too, is often much occupied by Overtures, made to themselves, in the exercise of their own jurisdiction, or through them to the General Assembly, for the alto ration or enforcement of any existing law, or for a new one to be submitted to the Church for its approval. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. The highest of our Ecclesiastical Courts is the General Assembly, which meets at Edinburgh the third Thursday of May, in each year, and is com posed, first, of a certain number of Parish Ministers and lay Elders, commissioned by each Presbytery in Scotland, their number being regulated by the number of constituent members in each Presbytery, and being about the proportion of two clergymen to each Elder : Second,—of a representative of each of the Univer sities, always one of their own number : Third—a lay Elder from every Royal Burgh in Scotland : and Fourth,—of a Minister and Elder of the Church in India. This Assembly is honoured with the presence of a nobleman commissioned by the Crown, as the repre sentative of Majesty. This person is present at every diet of the Court, not to overawe the freedom of debate, but to maintain by his presence the connection between Church and State, and no doubt to see that nothing is said or done disrespectful to the Legislative or ex ecutive authorities of the country, under whose protec tion the Court sits, and to whom the Church is indebted such as the inconvenience of the protracted absence o Ministers from their parishes, ruling Elders from their own proper business, and the detention of his Grace the Commissioner, the Assembly only sits twelve days ; and as, in that limited space of time, all the business is seldom transacted, a Court, called the Commission of Assembly, :meets immediately after the rising of the As sembly, and at three other stated times in the course of the year, for the purposes specified in the Commission under which it sits ; chiefly, deciding such causes of minor importance as the Assembly had not been able to discuss. In this Court all the members of the General Assembly may sit and vote, along with one other per son named by the Moderator of that Court. But it is not a Court, as I have already observed, sanctioned by the Statute law of the country, by which the Church of Scotland has been established. Difficult or important causes brought before it had wont, with becoming dilfi• dente, to be referred to the next General Assembly ; and, never, at any former period, did it take upon itself a measure so bold, harsh, and uncalled for, as the sus pension of the seven members of the Presbytery of Strathbogie, and that too, for obedience to the Statute law of the country, as expounded by its highest tri bunals. • In the working of the Veto Law, nothing has appeared to me more revolting, than the situation in which it places a clergyman, entering upon the arduous duties of ills mi nistry, in a divided parish. A larger or smaller minority of the flock to which he has been appointed overseer, have declared against him, protesting that they cannot be edi fied by his ministration What a temptation is here held out to courting, by,unbecoming arts and compliances, the good will of his opponents ! t A great clamour was raised against the Court of Ses sion, for having interdicted certain clergymen, who acted as agitators in the case of the seven illegally suspended ministers of Strathbogie, from preaching in their parishes, or interfering with them in the performance of their mi nisterial duties. Those who raised this clamour knew, or should have known, that those agitators were acting in violation of the law of the Church, as well as that of the State. Whilst the utmost extent of toleration is granted to all dissentients from the Church of Scotland, her own parochial clergy are restricted, in the performance of their ministerial functions, to that portion of the flock of Christ, over which they have been placed as pastors. These salutary provisions have been sadly violated of late years, by the admission, as members of Presbytery, of all the ministers of what is called quoad sacra parishes, and also seceders who join the Establishment. To these, districts have been assigned as parishes, and they take their seats in the Presbytery, accompanied by their respective Elders, whereby the constitution of the Cou r t i s t ota ll y canged, and the status and influence of the ministers of the old parishes greatly impaired. I may also mention that a corresponding effect has been produced in the con stitution of the General Assembly, by the additional mem bers of Presbytery above-mentioned. IRELAND. DUBLIN, AUG. 17TH.—THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—It rained very constantly during the whole of yesterday evening, and all last night ; but this morning the sun shines out again, and, though watery-looking, we hope "the clouds will pass away," but as we write the rain again falls. No injury, however, has hitherto been done, which a week of warm weather would not amply remedy ; and we have sufficient trust in the good and all-wise dispensations of Providence, to rely, with confidence, on the succeeding season for the realisation of those hopes which, up to this period, the general pro gress of the harvest has inspired. LAW APPOINTMENTS.—The late Attorney-General was sworn in on Friday, and is now Chief Baron O'Brady. Mr. Pigot, and Mr. Richard Moore, are Attorney and Solicitors• General ; and Doctor Stock the Sergeant. The Mail begs leave to acquaint "aspiring young gentlemen at the bar," that the new Chief Baron is an out-and-out repealer, and that he owes his advance ment to Mr. O'Connell! The .Mail is not mad, neither is it mendacious, but somehow nobody pays much at tention to the vehicle—" nobody goes by it," as a pun ster said the other day. JUDGE; CRAMPTON AND FATHER MATHEW.—The Learned Judge has written a letter to the Mail, contra dicting the accuracy of a report relative to his having taken the Temperance pledge. Mr. Mathew himself, too, has corrected the mistake, and satisfactorily ex plained the transaction, in his address to the people at Naas on Saturday last :—" Then there was Judge Crampton, who, it has been said, took the pledge from me. But the Learned Judge did not require to do so, he having already totally abstained from using any kind of spirituous liquor whatever. I have to acknowledge, and I beg to do so here, the great and very kind atten tion paid to me by Mr. Justice Crampton. He called upon me several times in the course of my stay in Dub lin, and he did me the honour of inviting me to dine with him. It is a mistake, however, as to his having taken the pledge from me ; he did not do so ; he did not want it. But he did do me the honour of receiving a temperance medal at my bands, and while in the act of taking the medal, a person happened to come into the apartment in which we were at the time. He thought the Learned Judge was taking the pledge, and in that had originated the mistake. Having given this expla nation, I must in the next place observe, that I am ut terly at a loss to know why it is that any one should think fit to attack us because of it having been stated that Judge Crampton had taken the pledge. Judge Crampton is a good, a truly excellent man, and why ' our society should bo assailed on account of its being reported that he had joined it, I confess fills me with surprise and astonishment." NATIONAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION.—This day a meeting of the Repeal Association was held at the Corn Exchange. On the Motion of Mr. O'Connell, Mr. John O'Neill was called to the chair. Mr. O'Connell then moved that the Most Reverend the Archbishop of Tuam be admitted a member of the Association. The meeting was the most numerous that has yet been held. It was a perfect throng. The very staircases were crowded with persons anxious to join in the national movement. The accumulation of public business is so great, and the members for admission are now so nume rous, that it has been found necessary to commence the proceedings at a much earlier hour than hereto fore. The Association, accordingly, met to-day, at ave:ve o'clock. The Liberator was hailed with enthu siasm on this his first appearance since his return from Connaught. Among the members admitted to-day, was the Right Rev. Dr. Mac Hale.—Pilot. PRIVILEGES OF THE BAR-ASSAULT ON MR. FREEMAN, THE BARRISTER. At the Cork Assizes, on Saturday, William Allen, jun., Esq., of Liscongill, was indicted for an assault on Mr. Freeman, the barrister, committed on the 4th of August last, during the present assizes. The Bar at tempted to induce the Judges to treat the case as a con tempt of Court, but they refused to look upon it in any o ,:her light than as an ordinary common assault, com mitted by one individual upon another. M r . Sergeant Jackson stated the case for the prose cution. _ _ _ _ __ .. _ Mr. Freeman, on his examination by Mr. Keller, de scribed the assault, and stated that he bad been struck upon the back with a horsewhip by Mr. Allen, who bad subsequently offered him his card. On his cross-examination by Mr. Henn, Q.C., Mr. Freeman admitted that the elder Mr. Allen, father of , the traverser, and a Magistrate of the County of Cork, , was nearly seventy years old ; that in the course of the trial which preceded the assault he had repeatedly called him " Billy Allen ;" that be had characterised Mr. Allen's conduct as unrighteous and atrocious—that those expressions had been used in the presence of Mr. Allen's son, the traverser—that he felt greatly exasperated when he saw Mr. Allen put out his tongue at him— that he had said that he could not bear to see a tongue with so much filth on it. [lt may be right to mention that ~ Billy Allen " is the name of a wandering mendicant, well known in the South of Ireland.] Mr. HENN, Q.C.. addressed the Jury on the part of the traverser. The Jury returned a ver dict of guilty of the com mon assault. accom panied, however, with a recommen dation to mercy, under the aggravating circumstances of the case. The JUDGE (Sergeant Greene) ordered the traverser to be confined a month, and to pay a fine of 101. The result of this case cannot fail to produce a salu tary influence in checking the unrestricted licence as sumed by too many members of the bar, in using lan guage of the most offensive description. There are no men so ready, as a certain class of lawyers, to exclaim against what they term the licentiousness of the press, whilst they avail themselves of every possible opportu nity of indulging in the most unbridled licentiousness, w ithout any other cause or p rov ocation than the receipt of a brief, and the payment of a fee of two or three guineas.

We gave in our publication of Wednesday last, some particulars of the disgraceful outrages at Colne, on the preceding Thursday and Monday evenings ; but were prevented, by the accidental miscarriage of a letter, from continuing the narrative on Salurday. . It appears that on Tuesday morning (the 11th inst.) - the men, eight in number, who had been apprehended during the preceding night, were brought before the Magistrates, Mr. Foulds and Mr. Wood, who, after entering slightly into the evidence against them, re.. manded them till Friday, in order to await the ree l * of the inquest upon the body of Mr. Halstead. Cu t Thursday morning, the Coroner, John Hargreaves, ; Esq., and an intelligent Jury, assembled at the Ang e l Inn, for the purpose of inquiring into the circumstances connected with the melancholy fate of the deceased. The inquest eommeneed about eleven o'clock in its morning ; it continued the whole of that day, (tad till • about half-past six in the evening of Friday. Mr. Wood said—During the last week, on several evenings, generally between nine and ten o'clock, die. orderly assemblages of rabble had taken place in Colee. I attended at Colne as a Magistrate, and occasionally heard discharges of fire-arms from these assemblages. During the night of Thursday last, the police constables were driven from the streets, and the mob broke the windows of several houses. Au inspector of police was severely injured, and considerable alarm B revaila In consequence of these proceedings, Mr. Foulds agli I thought it necessary to take immediate steps to 'tie. cure the peace. It was thought necessary to call in the assistance of the military. I proceeded to the barracks at Burnley for the purpose, and obtained detachments of cavalry and infantry. I returned with the military. Great crowds of people were assembled, and we were hooted. I expected an at tack on the chaise in which I travelled, but none took place. The cavalry returned to Barnley the same night ; the infantry remained until Sunday morning. The town was quiet untirthat time, and the infantry returned on Sunday morning. Sunday passed over its quietness. On Monday Mr. Fould and I attended all the day at Colne, having received information that disturbances were apprehended. A number of the in habitants, about 70 in number, were sworn in ;pedal constables at eight o'clock in the evening. Eta eise• cial constable had a truncheon delivered to idol. The special constables remained in the King's Head Inn until about half-past nine. Then it was foiled neees- , sary to order them out, disorderly crowds of people having assembled in the streets. Mr. Foulds and I pro ceeded at the head of the special constables, the police constables, to the number of 27, preceding the spe cial constables, and so they passed along the streets. Crowds of people were assembled at every street end. A crowd appeared to have gore before us to the east end of the town. In the course of ten minutes, after leaving the King's Head, we thought it ad visable to read the Riot Act. I read it at the toll bar, and told the people that their remaining in the streets after reading the Riot Act would be felony. The num ber of people then assembled in that neighbourhood would be perhaps 200 ; but, beyond the toll bar, there being no lamps, I could not distinguish the number in that direction ; but, I believe, a large body had gone out in that direction. There , was no actual riot at that time ; but, from the general appearance of the people, and from the information which I had received from the police officers, I was apprehensive that a riot would take place. After reading the riot act, I return towards the west-end of the town with a party of the police constables and a party of the special constables. On my return through the streets, I read the riot act again four different times ; and on each occasion I warned the people, and requested them to disperse. At the fifth time of reading the riot act, I was a little westward of the King's Head. The crowd had, at that time, principally left the street. We then returned, and went into a part of the town called Windy Bank, and I read the riot act there. The crowd had thee much diminished ; very few people were in the street, on our return from Windy Bank. Having arrived in the Market-place, the constables took different direo- tions to ascertain the state of the back streets. I went with one party down the main street, as far as a street called Nineveh-street. We went partly down that street, and crossed over into Parliament-street : there we heard the sound of a rattle as from the main street, and we hastened into that street. There we heard the alarm bell. When we arrived at a situation between Mr. Bolton's house and the top of Clayton-street, we heard, proceeding from the east end of the town, about the toll-bar, swearing, shouting, and yelling ; also calls and threats to come on, as if directed to us. We thought it best to remain where we were. For a while we did so, and then proceeded towards the toll-bar, as far as the top of St. John-street : we found the lamp in tha j t street put out. We then returned to the top of Clay ton-street ; then, in consequence of some information which I received, we proceeded down Clayton-street, as far as the first cross street. Then proceeding from the lower end of the same street, the shouts, noises, dis charge of fire-arms, and the striking of iron bars, as it sounded to us, against the walls or palisades, was most alarming. There were calls also, " Come on ;be firm ; mash at them," and other expressions to that effect. Mr. Foulds was with me at that time : standing at the corner of Clayton -street and a cross street leading to St. John -street, we could perceive that a conflict had taken place in the cross street, and an alarm was given that a man was killed. A tremendous volley of stones came just then, and drove me and ply party from our position. We went up Clayton -street into £he main street, and there I saw the mob coming up. I could not tell from which street ; they marched in a dotal body in a sort of military array up the street, each men carrying in his hand a wooden bludgeon about four feet long. I retreated before them to the King's Head, and sent for the military ; but, before the military ar rived the mob had dispersed. It was about eleven o'clock when we last left Clayton -street. The deceased was sworn in as a special constable on Monday, and I saw and spoke to him in the market-place on on- re turn from Windy Bank. Before reading the Act the second time, I took out my watch, and observed that it was then ten o'clock. Further evidence was given, the effect of which was to show that the deceased, Mr. Halstead, bad been struck on the head with an iron bar by one of the prisoners, a man named Richard Boothman ; and that two others, named James Wilkinson and Thomas Riley, were present. aiding Boothman in the attack upon the police and the constables. After a very calm and dispassionate, but at the same time very able charge from Mr. Hargreaves, the Jury retired to consider of their verdict. After about an hour and a half's deliberation, the Foreman returned a verdict of " Murder " against Richard Boothman, as principal, and James Wilkinson and Thomas Riley, as accessories to the murder. The three prisoners were then committed to Lan caster, for trial at the ensuing March Assizes, and on the following morning were conducted thither under military escort. On Wednesday the Magistrates sent a requisition for the continuance of the military to Major-General Sir Charles Napier, the commanding officer of the northern district, who, however, before he had received it, in con sequence of information which lied been communicated to him of the state of affairs at Colne, promptly proceeded thither that he might personally have an opportunity of forming an opinion of the necessity which existed for military protection. Sir Charles arrived on Thursday morning, and, after a consultation with the authorities of the place, expressed himself perfectly willing, not only that the, small detachment of the 78th Highlanders a'ready at Colon might remain if they could be well accommodated ; but he also expressed an intention of sending an engineer" to fix upon a place which might be or was capable of being rendered suitable for barracks. On Saturday, accordingly, Captain Patten arrived at Caine, and, after inspecting the Cloth Hall, a very la'rge building, similar to the Halifax Piece Hall, and at pre. sent almost useless, pronounced it (after an addition for culinary and other purposes, the expense of which the inhabitants are willing to defray) fit for the reception •f troops. It was understood that a detachment, consist ing of SO or 100 men, would arrive at Colne yesterday ; and as the Cloth Hall would not be ready for their re ception, they would be billeted at the ions. It need not be added, that the town is perfectly quiet, and will, no doubt remain so as long as it continues under the pro tection of the military,—Manchester Guardian. THE SILK TRADE IN LOMBARDY.—Ip 1800 the silk collected am oun t e d to 1,800,000 11m, at present it is said t o b e e b out 7,000,000 l b s. D ur i ng t h e l ast twenty years, the quantity, I am assured, has increased threefold, and the value sixfold. This led to ill-judged spaculaibmi, with a view to bring the silk trade into a few hands, tod t maintain prices at an artificial height. False hopes were raised of au almost unlimited advance. The consequence was, a tremendous depreciation in the years 1834'and 5, something similar to what took place in Germany with re spect to the wool trade. The same danger which seems to threaten the latter from New Holland appears to be im pending over the silk trade from Asia. The impartation of silk from Asia into London increased from 1824 to 1838 at the rate of 36A. per cent. In 1800-1802 it amounted to 1,350,000 pounds weight, and in 1830-1832 it had already increased to 6,138,00 0 lbs. At present, the silk trade continues to increase in Italy, and prices ata e t we tolerably stationary p ap o p in e t a . r t T o he ha w ve ea fi v x in e g d ofs themselves ilkhas likewise Lombardy; but is of little importance as yet, employing only 2,349 looms and. 3,276 labourers.—Raumer's Italy and the Italians.
