(From the Arco Iris of - Vera Cruz, Sept. 16 ) PROTEST OF THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATES OF MEXICO, JALISCO, AND ZACATECAS, TO HIS EX CELLENCY THE 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 stance; 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 duty 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 not fulfilled in its other provisions, o wing to unlawful proceedings which are not 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 C ong r ess , 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 saving 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 ourselves of the occasion to offer the assurance of our respect and considera tion. God, liberty, and federation. Toluca, August 22, 1847. VALENTIN GOMEZ FARIAS, JOSE MARIA DE LACUNZA, LUIS DE LA ROSA, PASCUAL GONZALEZ FUENTES, MARIANO OTERO, COSME TORRES, MANUEL RO BSE DO, JOAQUIN NORRIEGA. To his 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 equip 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 of their ten years' war with Spain under more adverse circumstances, and telli ng 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 preten sions; but that full powers had been given to the Commissioners. The Arco iris say s — Inenee e d re is no l onger any doubt hostilities have com a-lew between the Mexican troops and those of the United States under the command of General Scott; and letters from o!izaba, dated the 12th, re ferring to others from Mexico which reached there by the mail that day, give us some details o f th e enga ment which t oo k p l ace on the Bth at Chapultepec. ge The letters which we have say that our loss in the battle of Chapultepec was co nsiderable , tll as, besides the death: of General Lucas Balderas,of the and 4th regiments of light troops, and sth line, suffered severely. The loss of the enemy (the was great in artillery, cavalry, and troops of te Americans) 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 must be grossly misrepresented. He could never h ave stooped to ask for the privilege of establishing two 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. Ile 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 no American 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 our confede racy, to the Mexican Government. All this, ofcourse, is out of the question. They are all idle speculations and bungling blunders. We may add, however, that if Mexico still has the folly to claim to the Nu&eF, .we should hope there is not an American who will not now and for all time repel it with indignity. The following is the latest intelligence which has reached New Orleans from the seat of war : The steamer McKim had arrived, and brings up- THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY ._EVENING, OCTOBER 23, 1847. 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. Ballantine said that 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. M'lntyre argued that Muscovitz ought either to be 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. M'lntyre's observations with respect to Musco 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 LORD MAYOR 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 verbal and other 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.] GUILDMILL. Yesterday Joseph Markwell, a clerk in the Post office money order department, was charged with stealing a Si. 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 lie 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 he had placed it in his pocket book, and it was stolen, or, perhaps, it had drOpped on the floor from his book Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES 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 en 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 60/. a-year. lie should leave the case in the hands of the magistrate. Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES 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 51., and quitted the Post-office ? Mr. Bate said he should be satisfied, if the Post-office authories were. Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES 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 fr om f ee li ng t h at h e was an object of suspicion. He recommended the prisoner 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 the pro- 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 th e c h a i r , an d briefly addressed the meeting. He said from the course adopted by Mr. Mott and Mr. A rc h er , an d f rom t h e depreciation of railway property, he had arrived at the opinion that the wisest plant 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 been aba n d one d ; and without that line their project w ou ld b e valueless. The directors, therefore, proposed the dis solution eh of ofthe the and the return of the re mainder and to intimat e ithi s by l e tt er to a shareholder s ; b ut if, f rom t h e e opposition with which they had h a d t o con t en d, th e y 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 23,0001. 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. MO TT a d m i tte d t h at h e was i n t e rested 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 o f th e shareholders , b u t he b e s oug ht them to adopt an alt erna ti ve , namely, the probability of an offer of an e li g ibl e na t ure from some other corn• pany. If no o ff er was ma d e , he would not o pp ose 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 Porth dynllaen as one of the most important ports in that part of the country. A SHAREHOLDER, a barrister, said as Holyhead had been fixed upon as the port for that part of the country, and as the traffic on their line would simply consist of slates ; and as the landowners were against it, he advised them at once 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 Mr. Archer, or any one else, would be estimated by a Committee of the House of Commons. This gentle man cited several instances in which a similar course had been adopted. He was not in favour of waiting for any offer, except it was made in cash. Mr. SPACKMAN also urged the dissolution of the company, and considered that 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.) He would be taken at his value. They might be sure that the Government would ere long bring forward a proposition to put an end to 9-10ths of the railways—(Heer, hear)—they would thus liberate the money of the country and prevent the public creditor from being cheated. The resolution was then unanimously adopted. After considerable discussion of a personal and libellous nature, relative to the proceedings Archer and his solicitor, Mr. Shaw, A vote of thanks an d c on fid ence was passed to the Chairman, the di rec t or s, an d the secretary, and the meeting broke up. of Mr. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY.

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. 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 acco mm o d a ti on . 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 coaoter project, and, without other discussion, he off i bred 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.

FALMOUTH, 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, 11 th ; and Pernambuco, 17th ult. She brings a small freight, and the following passengers, via., 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. In other respects, matters in that quarter were without alteration. In reference to our market, coffee is dearer, espe cially the higher qualities.

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. H. 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 banki:upt 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 CO3ISIISSION ER 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. mit NSION-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. Peachey, from the firm of Oliversen 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 were placed at the bar in the following order ;—Aaronson Leybe, Jacob Friedeburg, Raphael Kauffman, and Solomon Musco vitz, were placed most conspicuously, as the chief parties charged; and Yankee Tobias, Hackle Moses, and Yettee Solomons, the wife of Solomon Muscovitz, stood 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, as 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 stated calculated to criminate Solomon Muscovitz, and 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 of the formalities without which they could not be current. The evidence additional to that of Daniel For rester, the officar, 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 Fress, 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. Friedeburg (to the witness)—Did you see any other person at the house in Short's-gardens ? Wit- ness--:I think I saw another German there. John Forrester said, I accompanied my brother for the 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 notes, a n d s a id h e b e li eve d th em t o b e forgeries. lie 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 Aaronson to be 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 bad hou l n se a o n n s w F e r ridt az. a brought a b a d c h aracter i nto t h e h ouse, an d I men tioned the cir cums t ance to A aronson, w h o sa id h e would never d o so aga i n, an d t h at h e wou l d l eave t h e qcuaesteionfrom openedFrie herdebur h Friedeburg theail door%it with Kauffman's key,- ness said a person m Friedebu rg Did not up t and she hat toldper person, go g s o h e would up st ai o n ot Ir. allow su c h a t hi ng. 1V and ss El li la e nt d in id e . said he m ust request the Lord Mr. innkeeper, Nov. 16, at eleven, at the Court.

IRELAND. - 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 Reporter brings the following:— • " ATTACK ON THE WORKHOUSE OF RATHKEALE.— Yesterday (Monday) about 800 men from the sur rounding parishes proceeded to the Rathkeale Work house in a body, sounding liorns 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 the police. The 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 Caber 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 UNTY.—•ATTEMPT AT MURDER.-011 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 Philipstown. 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 attempt to deprive a respectable gentleman of his life. It appears that Mr. Dominick Gillooly, of Moher, near Lanesboro', had his tenants' crops seized for rent, and stacked in one of his cottier'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, hut 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 of 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 Frewen, 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 ready for immediate use ! The fellow instantly prepared for defence, and presenting the deadly weapon swore he would shoot the first man that laid hands upon him. Sub-inspector Heard, nothing daunted, mounted the 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 were then ordered 'to prepare for action, Sub-inspector Heard maintaining the same perilous position before Ryan, who cried out to Frewen several times, " Will I fire ?" Head-con stable Phillip s was only armed with a drawn sword, which he told Ryan lie 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 Heard 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 an 3 Tl.omas F;•--?wen. who are Flls' ec:e. I `} atrociou s miscreant, \yip, :ifid been conccale ' d in their hot: a: Eince fee murder was perpetrated. The blun derbuss found with Ryan contained a charge of six inches, including eleven sings, ard 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 tave murders within three weeks, the victims being Job ° Kelly and Peter Nash ; also Whiteboy outrages during the last seven years that be has been "on the run." The blunderbuss has been identified as one which was taken from the house of a farmer name d Kilmartin, at Newcastle, and it is believed that Rya°, is the man wh o fi re d a t an d wounded the seco nd Kelly at Bunkea.--Limerick Chronicle. SECRETARY OF THE BEQUEST BOARD.—Mr. D' M'Dermott, barrister .at-law, was this day elected to the vacant office of Joint Secretary to the Commis" sioners of Charitable Bequests. IRISH CONFEDERATION. WEDNESDAY, OCT. 20.—A meeting of the mery bers of the Irish Confederation was held this day il l the Rotunda. Dr. Cane, of Kilkenny, occupied the chair. The SECRETARY (Mr. Magee) commenced the pr°' ceedings by reading an account of receipts and expen diture from the 11th o f S ep t em b er to the 1 6 t h °' October. It appeared that the receipts amounted to 811. lls. 100., and the expenditure to 30/. ss. 4(1 " leaving a balance of 511. 6s. 6fd. Mr. MAGEE (Secretary) intimated that Mr. Smit h O'Brien, in a letter addressed to them stated that he had received for the uses of the Irish Confederatil "From an Indian Officer with a true Irish Heart, the sum of 251. H e nex t re f erre d to the appointroen" of Mr. William H am ill (f ormer l y Secretary o f the Confederation) to an office under the Board ° f Education, and said that, although that gentlema n was secretary to the Confederatio n , and had accepte d the office in question, h e was never a member of thei r ~. body, and theref ore cou ld not b e 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, all „ as such felt him se lf a t lib erty to seek the situation. 1" appeared that he had received a letter of recomme n. dation from a member of the body (Mr. Mitchell)' who, feeling that he had infringed the rules o f the Confederation, although unintentionally, had sent in ° letter of resignation, but, under the circumstances, le had been requested to withdraw it. Dr. WEST proposed the admission of Robert MtDowell, Esq., President of the Chamber of CO' merce, Belfast.—(Cheers.) Mr. C. G. DUFFY seconded the motion for the il i a ' mission of Mr. M'D owe ll, an d h an d ed i n the allZ scription ; and moved th e a d m i ss i on o f H amo . Massey, of Clanwilliam Castle, a magistrate of W e county of Limerick.—(Cheers.) Both gentlemen were admitted. The CHAIRMAN remarked that Mr. M'Dowell w a g the president at the repeal meeting held some ye ar ; ago in Belfast, at w hi c h t h e l ate Mr. O'Connell a'. tended.—(Hear.) A great number o f mem b ers (including sever persons resident in England) were admitted. Mr, MITCHELL referred to the letter of reol l1 : 1 mendation given by hi m t o M r. Hamill. He alroitt 4 that he should not hay:. given that l e tt er but he not think that any one would supoose that in that letter he was putti ng himself und er a com plime% to the English Goverinnent.—(Cheers.) He did n ° believe that there was in the Confederation 8 : 11 f 3 bitterer or more det erm i ne d enemy to t h e English Government than he was.— (Cheers.) In co nclusi° 6 l he read a report on th e ways an d means o f Irelall' for the coming w i n t er . H e (M r.

The report was adopted. A deputation was a pp o i n t e d to attend in Be lf a st on the Bth of Novemb er , to explain an d wor k out the objects of the Confederation. A resolution was passed appoving of the inten - t i l , of the Irish Council t o ca ll a meet i ng of t h e In peers and commoners.

As the ey and three other Yarmouth captains were on their ;jet from the justice-room, the North Shields town -c " ii irl came within view, and the husband said, if the job n°, o , be done reasonable, he would have his wife cried do and the crier agreed to do it for is. 6d. The Vi l le being paid, the official, who formerly served in the .;,, 00 as bugler, blew a blast so loud and clear that it : attracted a large assemblage, among whom we r " t he majority of the fair sex of Shields.
