FOREIGN 4- COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE LOSS OF THE MEMNON STEAMER IN THE RED SEA, WITH THE OVERLAND INDIAN MAIL. _ (From the Morning Chronicle.) We have received the following communication by ex press from our Paris correspondent:— " PARIS, MONDAY MORNING, Oct. 2.—1 hasten to communicate to yon that despatches have been received from Malta of the 24th ult., announcing the arrival there of the French Levant steamer, which brings intelligence from Alexandria of the total loss of the Memnon steamer, from Bombay, near the entrance of the Red Sea, on the Ist of August. The crew, treasure, and passengers were saved, but the mails were lost. "The Hindostan arrived at Suez on the 12th Septem ber, from Calcutta, with 108 passengers. Left Calcutta on the 10th August. _ _ _ It will be recollected that the Memnon left Bombay on the 20th of July ; that is, ten days earlier than she would have done on ordinary occasions, on account of the mon soon, which prevails in those seas during the month of August. The Memnon was a splendid new ship, which bad recently been sent out from England, having been built expressly for the service of the Overland Mail. She was much larger and more powerful than any of the other steamers upon the station ; and so great was the confi dence of her commander in her powers, that he deter mined to steer direct from Bombay to Aden, instead of taking the longer route generally adopted during the pre valence of the monsoon. The experiment was thought a dangerous one, and it was the opinion of many naval men that it must fail, as it had done in a previous instance; but the result has shown that the confidence of the cap tain was not misplaced, as she completed the voyage to Aden within ten days. No sooner, however, had she com pleted this great feat, than she was fated to meet with a misfortune little looked for. On the evening of the Ist August, when off Cape Guardafui, on the coast of Africa, and not far from Aden, she struck upon a reef of rocks, and in a very short time became a total wreck. The crew and passengers, with five cases of treasure, which were on board, and which happened to he on the deck at the time of the accident, were fortunately saved ; but the mails, cargo, and passengers' baggage were entirely lost, having gone down with the wreck. The loss of the mails upon this occasion is the more to be deplored, as, owing to their late arrival at Bombay on the previous month, there had been an accumulation of mails:from Madras and Ceylon. The number of persons on board, including crew and passengers, was about lid. It appears that the Memnon has gone to pieces. Captain Haines, the Political Agent at Aden, had sent to the assistance of the shipwrecked people three steamers. Two passengers who were on board of the Memnon, Messrs. Southey and Crawford, arrived at Suez from Aden by the Hindostan. TREMENDOUS CONFLAGRATION AT KING- STUN, JAMAICA Advices from Falmouth of the fifth announce the arrival on the previous day of the West Indian Steamer Tay. By this arrival we are put in possession of the particulars of a most fearful conflagration, by which a very large part of the city of Kingston has been reduced to ashes. The account runs thus :—" At about noon on Saturday the 26th of August, a fire broke out at James's Foundry, situate at the S. E. end of Kingston, Jamaica. The sea breeze was then blowing very strong, which caused the flames to spread northwest with almost incredible rapi dity, and speedily reduced to ashes a vast amount of pro perty. The fire continued its course in this direction until towards nightfall, when the wind changed, and with it the course of the fire, which now took the direction from whence it first originated, and ere the hour of midnight hundreds of houses were reduced to ashes. The loss of property is estimated at £400,000, and which has fallen heavily on the owners of property on the eastern side of the city, extending in a northerly direction to the extent of a quarter of a mile. The feeling of sympathy for those who have suffered, and the distress that pervaded among the houseless had thrown a gloom over all classes, and caused business of every description to be almost entirely neglected. On the supposition that the fire was the act of an incendiary, £lOOO were offered by the mayor of Kingston, as a reward for the discovery of the offender." The elections at Mexico were supposed to be proceeding against St. Ana. The utmost discontent prevailing, but it was believed that should he not be re-elected, the mili tary would not be instigated to overthrow the new con stitution, and proclaim St. Ana as dictator. Foreign trade is completely destroyed by the restriction laws. SPAIN On the evening of the 22nd ult., there was an explosion of the powder magazine, situate outside of the Bilhoa Gate, at Madrid. Several houses were more or less damaged, and the number of persons killed is estimated at between thirty and forty. It could not be ascertained whether the calamity was the consequence of accident or design. Several pesrons had been apprehended on sus picion. The Supreme Junta of Saragossa has proclaimed that all employ 6 who do not adhere to the pronunciamento lose their places, and that those ejected as Esparteri3ts, shall be restored to theirs. Don Jose de Crof is named commandant-general of the province. Madrid has been placed virtually under martial law, without the ceremony of a proclamation, and numerous arrests have taken place at the sole will and pleasure of the government and its dictator, Narvaez. The Spaniards have already found cut that they have exchanged their King Log for King Stork with a vengeance. _ Cf Accounts from Saragcssa, by post, of the 25th, show the complete falsehood of the telegraphic accounts given from that town. Instead of the town being blockaded or hard pressed, the Eco of the 25th says,—" Some de spatches have been exchanged between the Captain-Gen eral Lopez Banos and the Central Junta of 'aragossa. The general declared that he would not attack the town, unless himself attacked. Alcaniz had adhered to, and imitated the rising of Saragossa. The Gazette of the Grand Duchy of Hesse announces the accouchenient of the Grand Duchess Maria, wife of the Hereditary Grand Duke of Russia, of a Prince, at St. Petersburg, on the 20th ult. GENERAL JACKSON.—The rumoured death of this great and good man has no foundation but an indorsement upon a way bill bdtwee❑ Cincinnati and Wheeling.— Boston Post. A diligence between Dole and Niogret was nearly de stroyed by fire a few days ago, from a piece of tinder used in lighting a pipe having fallen upon some straw. Before the fire could be extinguished it had made such progress that the passengers were nearly suffocated by the smoke. The Journal des Debals announces, that the French government has obtained from that of Piedmont a further reduction of duties on the importation of wines and bran dies, on porcelain, and on Parisian elegancies. It has conceded in return an abolition of some tonnage duties, a diminution of the duties on rice, white lead, and cattle. The duties on spirits introduced by the Savoy frontier will be reduced one-fifth for that below 22 degrees, and one-sixth for that above it. THE INSURRECTION IN THE PAPAL STATES. — ROME, Sept. 21.—According to the latest intelligence received here, the bands of insurgents at Bologna have been broken up, and many prisoners have been made. It is mentioned that an Englishman has been taking part, as an amateur, in this mountain warfare. Captives con tinue to be made, and the gaols are filled with prisoners of all classes. The Grand Duke of Tuscany has con sented to send back all the rebels who may take refuge in his territory.—Brussels paper. HORRIBLE MURDER.—A❑ inhabitant of Lommel, in Belgium. suspecting that his wife had misconducted her self with an officer of the Customs a few evenings ago, reproached her with infidelity. A violent quarrel took place, and the woman became so exasperated that she went to the room of the Custom-house officer, who lived iu the same house, and taking a pair of loaded pistols from his table, returned with them, and discharged one of them at her husband. Having wounded but not killed him, she deliberately fired the other into his breast, and completed her object. The next morning she attempted to destroy herself with the sharp edge of the cover of a pot in which some coffee had been brought her. She made a severe and ragged wound in the throat, but did not accomplish her purpose.—Galignani's Messenger. ARRIVAL OF THE WEST INDIA MAIL.—The Royal mail steamer Tay, Commander Hayden, arrived on Thurs day evening, with Mexican and West Indian mails, bringing twenty-seven passengers, and on freight 300,000 dollars and 240 serous cochineal. Her dates of leaving are :—from Tampico the 19th August, Vera Cruz the Ist of September. Havana the 9th, Nassau the 11th, and from Bermuda the 20th of September. The Tay brings dates from Demerara to the 4th September, Jackmel to the 10th, and from St. Thomas to the 15th. The royal mail steamer Clyde brought the Windward Island mails to Bermuda. The mails by the Tay were not landed at Falmouth, but taken to Southampton. Among the pas sengers by this arrival is a Mr. Cueto, from Vera Cruz, who is the bearer of all despatches from General Santa Anna. The Royal mail steamer Thames brought the Ja maica mails to St. Thomas, and dates from that island to the Bth September, and also accounts of a serious fire having taken place at Kingston on Saturday, the 26th of August, particulars of which will be found elsewhere, .• 37 • • UNITED STATES.—The packet-ship Hibernia, Bunt ing, which left New York on the 19th ult., arrived here on Sunday morning. The Stock Market was active and money continued abundant. The Havre packet, of the 16th, took nearly two thousand dollars in specie, but these was no disposition to send that commodity to England. The supply of bills was good, and but little alteration had taken place in the rate of Exchange, which was on London 109 to 1091, and on Paris 5.23 to 5.22. In cotton much business was doing amongst speculators. A destructive fire had occurred at Boston, by which up wards of twenty buildings, chiefly of wood, were de stroyed. The Halifax Herald states that two American schooners had been observed by Captain Darby, off Sable Island, and within the British fisheries. The schooners, it appears, were wreckers, which went to the . island for the purpose of plundering the wrecks and stealing c'ttl. Captain Darby, finding tbat he could not come . within gunshot of them, proceeded immediately to Halifax and reported the circumstance to the admiral, who, next morning, despatched the man-of-war steamer Hermes to the island. Th e steamer re t u rned to Halifax, after be in g satisfied that the two v e s sels were there, and that the y were acting contrary to the treat Nothing, it appears , was done t o th em • for, from y iheir position and the breeze that was blowing, a steamer might have taken them after a chase of three ho urs a t the farthest. One blank shot was fired at one of the schooners. By an arrival from Mexico, on the 18th ult., intelligence was received of a contemplated renewal of hostilities between Mexico and Yucatan. The Yucatan commissioners had returned with the news that no treaty had been concluded, and that the commission was dissolved. The Mexican commis sioners had returned to Vera Cruz. IREt,AND, " REPEAL CAVALRY-CLONTARF MEETING." The following advertisement, headed as above, appears in the Radical papers. The committee for this great national demonstration, being apprised of the intention of many Repealers to ap pear mounted at " Conquer Hill!!!

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN MOUNT FOR REPEAL!-MARCH FOR CLONTARF j The committee will meet at the Corn-Exchange each day during the ensuing week, from four to five o'clock. Corn-Exchange, 30th Sept., 1843. WARLIKE PRIEST AT PRESLIFORD.—On Sunday last, after mass, the repeal meeting was held in Freshford. The Rev. T. O'Shee said, " If the day should arrive in which England should attempt hostilities against this country, the priests of the people would be found stand ing by their gory bed on the battle plain."—Kilkenny Moderator. COMMENCEMENT OF HOSTILITIES? !! We were rather astonished, on coming out of Audoen's Church this day at half-past one o'clock, to find a crowd surrounding three police constables, two of whom were carefully cutting from the wall the placard announcing the Clontarf Repeal meeting. It is an inflammatory document, terminating with the following very intelligible summons to the battle field :—" Irishmen ! remember the glories of Brian the Brave."—Dublin Statesman of Friday. SHIP NEWS.—The Kathleen, late master Donovan, put into Cove on Friday short of provisions, with only three hands on board, and they in so disabled and sickly a state that they had to be immediately removed on shore. She was bound from the coast of Africa with oil for Liver pool. She left Sierra Leone on the 13th of July, and was consequently seventy-nine days at sea. She had lost her sails, &c., in a gale, and during the voyage the crew became sick, and had all died but three. Captain Donovan expired when off the coast, after experiencing dreadful fatigue and anxiety.—Cork Constitution. EXECUTION OF MOYLAN.—This unhappy and wretched convict suffered the last penalty of the law on Tuesday last at the front of our county gaol. His grandfather suf fered an ignominious death, and the father of Moylan— after transportation twice, the first time for seven years, and the second time for life—forfeited that life for a gross criminal offence in our antipodes. This man exhibited all the characteristics of a reckless being. With the hardness of iniquity, and the doggedness of extreme ig norance, he appeared to think that the few minutes of punishment in this life would terminate his sufferings for ever. " What matter," was the wretched being's excla mation, "two moments, and it is all over!" Moylan made no declaration of his guilt.—Nenagh Guardian. THE COUNCIL OF THREE HUNDRED.—At a tagrag meeting of repeal wardens held last week in the "city of the violated treaty," the following bombastic resolution was carried nem. con.:—" Resolved, that inasmuch as Limerick—glorious in historic page, for successfully re sisting the furious and sanguinary onslaught of the ruth less invader—Limerick, that has imprinted upon the name of Ireland the imperishable word unconquered'— Limerick, that has invariably given the fire and tone to popular national proceedings, even in our own day, is called upon most imperatively at this critical juncture of our country's fate to stand forward and rally round the Liberator, and make the necessary preparations to nominate four members of the council of three hun dred Irishmen." There hai been a vast consumption of small talk respecting the anxiety of numberless respectable gentlemen (names unknown) to bid a long farewell to £lOO for the questionable honour of being enrolled members of the convention of 300, to be assembled in Dublin Mr. O'Connell only knows when. With the exception of Mr. Daniel Callaghan, one of the city of Cork members, ' gentlemen" appear to be in no wonderful hurry to part with their money. A PROTESTANT BISHOP AT ROME.—Recent English travellers in Italy relate that the Hon. Thomas Plunkett, Bishop of Tuam, Ardagh, Killala, &c , attended high mass at St. Peter's at Rome, on Easter Sunday, and it is likewise reported that his lordship had an interview with the Pope, who addressed him in words to this effect:— " I thank you, my lord, for the kindness you have at all times shown to my Irish subjects." It were as well, perhaps, that a bishop, and especially an Irish bishop, should not absent himself from his diocesan duties and travel for his pleasure in foreign countries at a moment like this; but to attend high mass at Rome, and to desert the Protestant service of Easter Sunday, as it is well per formed there by an English clergyman, is a matter that has surprised the Italians, and grieved the English. If the words ascribed to the Pope be true, and he claimed Queen Victoria's subjects as his own, surely it becomes us to ask, whether the reply was such as it ought to have been? Did the bishop tell his holiness that no " Italian priest shall tithe or toll in our dominions ?" Did he deny, as he ought to have done, the pope's usurped authority ? —Correspondent of a Weekly Paper. NARROW ESCAPE OF THE TOWN OF COVE.—While her Majesty's Brig the Lynx, a vessel mounting three guns of formidable calibre, but pierced for ten, was lying off Cove, her Commander, Captain Burslem, one day gave the order to clear the decks for action ! the order was quickly obeyed, the drums heat to quarters, the three guns were primed and loaded, in fact double shotted, and the crew waited in breathless silence and astonishment for what was to follow ; but they were not long kept in suspense, for in a few minutes after Captain Burslem ordered the guns to be fired upon the Town ! The officers next in command were horror struck at hearing such an order, and though feeling the tremendous risk they would, under almost any other circumstances, run by interfering with the order of their Captain, yet in this case they clearly saw that they would be fully justified in preventing the execution of an order by which perhaps thousands of her Majesty's peaceable and loyal subjects would be hurled to destruction in the midst of the most profound tran quility and peace. Accordingly, the first Lieutenant and one or two of the other Officers consulted for a moment, ere the fatal command should be carried into effect, and having arrived at the conclusion that no such order could by any possibility have been given by any man in his sen ses, and without the least provocation, they contrived to induce the Captain to go below for a moment, and suspend the order ; this he complied with, and having been got into his own cabin every precaution was taken to secure him, and the whole affair reported to the Admiral. Cap tainßurslem was immediately removed, and the Lynx is now . in the Shannon, under the command of her first lieutenant. It has been stated that on two or three occa• sions of late Captain Burslem had evinced symptons im intellect, but never before to such an extent.—Cork Re porter.-1-[The Cork Constitution copies the preceding, but throws a doubt upon its accuracy.] THE REPEAL ASSOCIATION.—At the weekly meeting of the Repeal Association in Dublin, on Monday, Ahas cragh was restored to the map of Ireland. and its people to their station in the front ranks of Repeal. The motion was made by Mr. O'Connell, at the request of Lord French, which the Liberator considered as a command, and passed unanimously. Mr. O'Connell then called the attention of the meeting to a seditious placard that has been lately posted up at Omagh, calling on the tenantry of Lord Bellmore, and Sir H. Bruce, to meet on the first Monday in November next, to consider what amount of rent the times will enable them to pay, half rent only and half county cess—no payment of rent till after the meet ing. Any tenant who keeps back, is to prepare for a night visit, first to his haggard, and next to his person. Mr. O'Connell condemned this notice as highly criminal, and stated that its authors deserved punishment. He complained of the bad accounts he got from Dundalk about Ribbonism, which he censured strongly, and that it must end in the destruction of all concerned in it. A. long letter was read from Mr. Sharman Crawford, cor recting a mistake of Mr. O'Connell's respecting his, Mr. Crawford's bill, giving power to the tenant to claim com pensation for all buildings and improvements made on the farm, with or without the consent of the landlord. Several letters were then read from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Thorold, Niagara district, Canada West, and New York, forwarding their respective contributions to the cause of repeal : but the most startling postion of the correspond ence is the following, which, with Mr. O'Connell's com ment, we take from the Freeman's Journal:—M r , O'Connell—l have got two letters which were trans mitted to me through Mr. O'Callaghan, to whom they were directed. The letters are from Major-General James Arlington Bennett and George Clinton Beckham, adju tant-general, offering me a military organization to assist, and (tearing the letters into pieces) I trust it will appear in the newspapers what I have done with them (cheers). Mr. Mark O'Callaghan said, that although his brother had received those letteers to deliver to Mr. O'Connell he did not know anything about the writers of them. Mr. O'Connell—They certainly know very little of me; that is the way I treat their military organization. I have a trick worth two of it (cheers and laughter). The Repeal rent for the week was £Bl4 7s. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD ANOTHER MONSTER MEETING On Sunday week a demonstration took place at Mul laghmast, in Leinster. The account of the meeting and the evening banquet occupies only thirteen columns of the Freeman's Journal of Monday morning. The reporter proceeds at great length, but with considerable viva city, to detail all that he saw and witnessed until the Liberator took the chair. Mr. O'Connell, after the usual common places, proceeds thus plainly to arraign the legislative union. We take the following extract from the Freeman : `• At Tara I protested against the union—l repeat the protest at Mullaghroast. (Cheers.) I declare solemnly my thorough conviction, as a constitutio na l l awyer , th at the union is totally void in point o f p r i nc i p l e an d o f con stitutional force. I tell vou that no porti on o f the em pire had the power to traffic on the rights and liberties of the Irish people. The Irish people nominated them to make laws and not legislatures. They were appointed to act under the constitution, and not annihilate it. Their delegation from the people was confined within the limits of the constitution, and the moment the Irish parliament went beyond those limits, and destroyed the constitution. that moment it annihilated its own powers, but could not annihilate the immortal spirit of liberty which belonged as a rightful inheritance to the people of Ireland. (Cheers.) Take it then from me that the union is void. (Hear.) , 1 admit there is the force of a law, because it has been sup ported by the policeman's truncheon—by the soldier's bayonet—and by the horseman's sword ; because it is sup ported by the courts of law, and those who have power to adjudicate in them ; but, I say solemnly, it is not sup ported by constitutional right. (Cheers.) The union, therefore, in my thorough conviction, is totally void, and I avail myself of this opportunity to announce to several hundreds of thousands of my fellow-subjects that the union is an unconstitutional law, and that it is not fated to last long—its hour is approaching." There is no possibility of mistaking this language. This is not discussion, but denunciation. Mr. O'Connell does not affect to argue against the union as a bad law, and call upon the people to petition for the repeal of it, but he goes immeasurably further : he tells his congregated thousands, as a constitutional lawyer, and as their leader, that the union is totally void—not voidable, but void ; and his arguments in the above extract powerfully demon strate his meaning, as if it were not in itself sufficiently transparent. The Liberator made use also of the following treasona ble remarks " I want nothing but Ireland for the Irish, and in look ing for that I expect the sympathy of every good man everywhere; but I want not armed support or physical strength from any country. In the same way I thanked the republican party in France for their sympathy, but I refused their support. I have physical force enough about me to attain any end. But that is not my plan. I will not risk one of you, for I could not afford to lose one of you. I'll protect you all (' And we'll protect you'), until I gain a repeal. Yes, I know that there is not a man here, if unjustly or illegally attacked, that would not be ready to stand in open field by my side. (Cheers.) But nobody will attack us, and we will attack nobody. There is not a man in his senses in Europe or America that does not now admit that the repeal of the union is inevitable. I now am obliged to the ministers for abusing us. and accusing us of disaffection, in the Royal speech. They lie. There is no disaffection in Ireland, but there is a full determination to obtain justice and liberty. My advice to you is to confide in no false hopes that may be held out to you—to confide in nothing until you hear me say, I am satisfied.' (Shouts of We never will.') And I'll tell you where I'll say that—near the statue of King William in College-green. (Cheers.) We have come here to express our determination to die to a man, if necessary, in the cause of Ireland. (Loud cheers.) We have come here to take the advice of each other, and, above all, I believe, you have come to take my advice. (Cheers, and cries of 'We have.') If you obey my voice, repeal is certain. I'll go slow—you must allow me do that, but I'll go sure. (Hear, hear. No man shall be fined, im prisoned or prosecuted who takes my advice. I have led you thus far in safety : I have swelled the ranks of the Repealers until they are identified with almost the entire population of Ireland. I have seven eighths of the people enrolling themselves as associates. (` More power.') I don't want more power. I have enough, and only ask that you should allow me to use it. The arbitrators are begin ning to sit, and the people to submit to them their differ ences. You will have in those courts friends who will do justice to all parties alike, and without costing you one farthin g . 11l go on with that plan until all disputes are decided. (' Long may you live.') I wish to live until I see justice to Ireland and liberty proclaimed througout the land. It will take me some time to arrange my plan for the new House of Commons- -,- a plan which will be one day submitted to her Majesty when the present miserable Administration shall be supplanted by one that can be re garded as friendly to Ireland. The Conciliation-hall, in Dublin, will be soon finished, anti when it is I'll call together 300 bogtrotters, as The Times calls them, al though better men never stepped the pavement. But, until I ascertain the form of the new House of Commons, Ido not wish to go further." Mr. O'Connell then ex pressed his anxiety to see the Irish tenant pro i tected in his labour without doing injustice to the landlbrd, and proceeded—" But to effect this I must get some time." Mr. O'Connell, on ascending the platfoi m, inquired if there was not a Goverment report er p resen t. Th e ques tion was immediately answered by Mr. F. B. Hughes (of Mr. Gurney's corps), who said that he attended for the Government. Mr. O'Connell then assured him that be should have every possible accommodation afforded him. CAUSE OF IRELAND ' S DISCONTENT. — The following extract from the letter of a lady, residing in the province of Cannaught, and near the scene of some of the recent " monster meetings," has been kindly given us by a gen tleman now in Liverpool, who has just received it, and will, we doubt not, be read with interest :—" There was an immense repeal meeting at L—, but from the heavy rain that fell, the people in general were not regaled with much speechifying, nor does there appear as much excite ment as upon the former occasion—whether it is, thatthe people have learnt better to cloke their countenances, or REPEAL MASSES.—Throughout the entire collier that the novelty has worn off.

O'CONNELL AS AN AUTHOR It is known to most of our readers that O'Connell has written a work which he has called "Memoirs of Ireland." This work, the Standard, having questioned the authenti city of a massacre said to have been perpetrated on a body of defenceless Irish at Mullaghmast, was challenged to read, and our contemporary has complied with the request, and the result is the discovery of one of the most auda cious efforts to delude a credulous people, by downright invention, that ever before happened. With regard to this place of Mullaghmast, for example, what do we find ? Here is the extract from Mr. O'Connell's " Memoirs" : " The next instance I shall mention, occurred in the year 1577. It is thus introduced by Morrisson the historian (folio edition, p. 3) : " After the 19th year of Queen Elizabeth, videlicit anno " 1577, the Lords of Connaught and 0' Rooke," says Morrison, " made a composition for their lands with " Sir Nicholas Malby, governor of that province ; " wherein they were content to yield the Queen so " large a rent and such services both of labourers to " work upon occasion of fortifying, and of horse and " foot to serve upon occasion of war, that their minds " seemed not yet to be alienated from their wonted " awe, and reverence t o the Crown of England. Yet, " in the same year, a horrible MASSACRE was, corn " milted by the English. at Mulloghmast on some " hundreds of the most peaceable of the Irish yen " try, invited thither on the public faith and under " the protection of government." Reader, will you believe it—even of Dan O'Connell— that of the sentence printed in italics, (and these italics are Mr. O'Connell's,) there is not one syllable in Morri son ? From " the Lords of Connaught, &c." in the second line, down to the words " Crown of England," in the tenth line, the extract is a literal transcript from the historian, but there the record stops, so far as the matter of Mullaghmast is concerned. The five concluding lines of the memoir are therefore an infamous forgery. Of the alleged massacre, contemporary writers make no more mention than Morrison, but Mr. O'Connell has got hold of some legendary account of a massacre said to have hap pened at that place. In referring to his questionable authority, however, he finds it necessary for his base pur pose to resort to mutilation. His authority says the sup posed victims were hemmed in between " three and four lines of English and Irish horse and foot." His " Me moirs" give it thus : " The English published a proclamation, inviting all " the well-affected Irish to an interview on the Rath " more, at Mulloghmaston, engaging at the same " time for their security, and that no evil was in " tended. In consequence of this engagement, the " well-affected came to Rathmore aforesaid ; and " soon after they were assembled, they found them " selves surrounded by three or four lines of English " horse and foot completely accoutred, by whom they " were ungenerously attacked and cut to pieces ; and " not a single man escaped." The word " Irish" is here omitted. The reason is obvi ous. Mr. O'Connell's vile motive is to impress on the minds of his deluded victims a belief that " the Saxon" is, and always has been, their oppressor. It would not do, therefore, to tell the Irish that if there was any butchery at all (which is more than doubtful) it was perpetrated in part at least, by their own countrymen. Thus, you see, reader, that to carry out his detestable purposes, Mr. O'Connell first rakes up a fable in which Mulloghmast is made to figure as the theatre of some awful tragedy, in which, of course, the poor Irish were the helpless victims, and the fell Saxon their oppressors, and then selects this spot as the scene of his next clap-trap gathering. WALES STATE OF SOUTH WALES On Saturday week two of the ringleaders in the attacks on private property were captured near Llanelly. The circumstances leading to their apprehension were as fol low. A few nights previously an attack was made upon the Gwenwyth Iron Works at Pont-y-Beren by a num ber of men ; they surrounded the house between 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning, and having fired several shots, commenced battering at the door, demanding to have the managing clerk, Mr. Slocombe, brought out to them. His wife in the most heroic manner presented herself at an upstairs window, and demanded who they were, and what they wanted with her husband ? The answer of the leader was, " I am Rebecca, and we demand to see him instantly. The wife, however, firmly refused, stating that her husband was not there. Finding that they could not gain admission, they said Mr. Newman (the proprie tor of the works, in whose house Mr. Slocombe resides) has behaved well, and we will not hurt him ; but if Mr. Slocombe is not out of the country within a week, we will make him a head shorter; they then fired some more shots, and made off. It appears that several persons who were present at this outrage had been forced from their houses to join them, and consequently information was given to the magistrates that the ringleaders were two men of notoriously bad character, named John Jones, alias John Uyseborfawr, a man of about 30 years of age, who hasibeen a prize-fighter, and David Davis, alias Daily Cantwr, or David the Singer, and through the vigilance of the police these men were soon taken, and conveyed to Carmarthen for examination. On Thursday night week the house of a poor woman who had given them some offence, which was situated at Penhrw-common, near Cross-hands, was attacked by a party in disguise and razed to the ground. A royal proclamation was published in Tuesday's Gazette, offering a reward of five hundred pounds " to any person or persons who shall discover and apprehend, or cause to be discovered and apprehended, the authors, abettors, and perpetrators of any incendiary fires or of any outrage upon the person or any of our subjects, by which life shall ha , .e been sacrificed, so that they or any of them shall be duly convicted thereof, and every person who shall be so convicted, and shall receive our most gra cious pardon for the said offence in case the person mak ing such discovery as aforesaid shall be liable to be prose cuted for the same, except he be the actual perpetrator of such outrage or of such incendiary fire as aforesaid." And a further reward of fifty pounds is offered to " any person or persons who shall discover and apprehend, or cause to be discovered and apprehended, the authors, abettors, and perpetrators of any such outrages, other than those last above-mentioned, so that they or any of them may be duly convicted thereof." On Friday week, about midnight, Rebecca's sister, Charlotte, and about 150 followers visited the Turnpike Gate, Cwrodwr. The old woman who collected the tolls, in consequence of the threats of these miscre ants removed the furniture from her house, during which time the Rebeccaites chopped up the gates and posts for firewood which they placed inside the house and set fire to. The party then set off to the village of Llansadwrn and surrounded the house of the Rev. J. Jones the vicar, whose family was disturbed from their peaceful slumbers by the firing of a volley of guns and demand for Mr. Jones' appearance. When Mr. Jones came forward, she gave him the alternative of removing his furniture out of the vicarage within ten minutes, that the house might be set on fire, or that he should pledge his word that he would not take into his possession a few fields which he had purchased some months since, and which adjoined the vicarage, as it was contrary to Becca's law that he, as a clergyman, should hold any lands—either the barn or the church—but not both was the peremptory fiat of Queen Becca, and backed as her viceregent was, by some hun dreds of well armed attendants, ready to perform her commands, Mr. Jones was compelled, as a matter of per sonal safety, and not w'shing to have his house burnt over the heads of himself, his wife and family, to comply with Becca's demands, and to engage that the tenant who had occupied the fields, should be allowed to retain possession of the same at a reduced rent, the amount of which was then stipulated. After having extorted these terms from the worthy Vicar's just fears, the party left the place. Two other gates in Carmarthenshire, and one in Brecon shire, were also destroyed last week. A farm house and buildings near Cilycwnr, in Carmarthenshire, were level led with the ground on Saturday week, in order, it is said, to prevent a tenant from taking possession of the same. A meeting of freeholders, farmers, and others, was held on Tuesday last, on Pen Crugybalog, near Newcastle- Emlyn, for the purpose of adopting an address to her Majesty, expressive of their loyalty—their regret at the recent outrages which have taken place in this country, and their determination to repress them, and praying her Majesty to adopt such measures as she might deem fit, to relieve them from their local grievances. About three thousand persons assembled, and the meeting altogether was of the most orderly and satisfactory character. All the side gates in the Breconshire Turnpike Trust, and some of the gates on the regular mail-roads were dis continued on Michaelmas day at twelve o'clock at noon. ' 'Becca last week nabbed a bum-bailiff in the exercise _ of his craft upon the chairs and tables of a poor farmer at Fosgrech, and committed him bound hand and foot to the parish pound till the next morning. He was then released on paying 4d., the fee on impounding a quadru ped. The Carmarthen Journal says, that the law officer is now a strenuous advocate against " Cruelty to Animals" and " Solitary Imprisonment'" At the recommendation of Lord Dynevor, the Lord Lieutenant of the county of Carmarthen, the names of twenty gentlemen have been added to the commission of the peace by the Lord Chancellor. THE COURT. We are sorry to see inferences unfavourable as to the health of the Prince of Wales drawn from the protracted stay of his Royal Highness at Brighton. We are asured, however, on the best authority, that not the slightest foundation ever existed for any such apprehensions, the young prince having constantly enjoyed excellent health. —Observer. THE YOUNG PRINCESS.—The Princess Royal is be coming quite a favorite vith the inhabitants of Windsor and its neighbourhood. When taking her airings she in variably acknowledges every mark of respect paid to her by graciously bowing her head and kissing her little hand to each individual. Queen Victoria's example is setting crowned heads in motion. Their Majesties of Portugal, accompanied by the youthful princess, are about to make a royal progress through the entire province of Alemtejo. His Excellency the Duke of Palmella has left Mivart's Hotel, for Paris. His Excellency's absence in France is not likely to exceed three weeks. The marriage of Lady Evelyn Leveson Gower, second daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, and Lord Blantyre, was solemnised at Trentham, on Wed nesday last. THE MARQUIS OF WESTMINSTER.—This nobleman has returned from the Isle of Wight to Moor Park. Vk e are happy to hear that he enjoys much better health than for some years past. Ile is expected at Eaton Hall in the course of next month. ' UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL NEWS, PROMOTIONS Charlton, the Rev.

NEW CHURCHES.—There are now eleven new churches in course of erection in the Diocese of Gloucester and Bristol. REV. MR. SIBTHORP.—This Rev. Gentleman is now regularly attending his parish church of St. Helen's, in the Isle of Wight, and we question much whether he will ever act again as a Popish priest. His present position in that apostate community is best explained by his own words, which are to this effect, I am not suspended, but I am offended. WAR AGAINST PEWS.—In Westminster Abbey the choir is to be altered, the present miserable screen work is to be removed, and pews abolished. In the cathedral at Canterbury the choir is about to be furnished with new stalls and a throne, and the pews are to be removed. The new church in the Broadway, Westminster, has been built without pews. NEW CHURCHES.—On Monday, the new church at Thurgoland, near Wortley, was consccrated by the Bishop of Ripon ; and on Tuesday the same rite was also per formed at the new church at Denby. After the consecra tion of the new church at Thurgoland, on Monday last, the first stone of a new church was laid at Dodworth, near Barnsley. THE LATE ORDINATION.—We are happy to state that the disagreeable circumstances which had arisen to im pede the ordination of the candidates for deacon's orders, on last Sunday, have no longer prevented their entrance on the sacred office, the lord bishop having seen fit, at length, to admit them. This event took place at Holly wood, yesterday, when the five gentlemen alluded to were released from the embarrassing situation in which they had been placed, and are now ministers of the Established Church.—Belfast Chronicle. MUNIFICENT DONATION.—It is announced that Sir Robert Peel has, within these few weeks, forwarded a checquelpr £4,000 to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, with th. Mew of raising a fund to meet the demand for the building of churches, which will ensue from the act that was passed in the last session. This truly seasonable gift was accompanied by a letter scarcely less gratifying, in which he spoke of it as a debt due from him in consi deration of the large fortune he had derived from trade. It will be remembered that Sir Robert Peel's was the first £l,OOO given to the Special Fund of the National Society ; and coupling the two donations together, and the circum stances of the donor, the value of the offering may be very highly estimated. SE LENDID PRESENTS.-At Llandaff, on Tuesday last, the presentation of a testimonial of esteem to the Rev. W. B. Knight, Chancellor of the Diocese, took place. The present has been subscribed for by the clergy and laity of the diocese of Llandaff, and consists of a massive and superb candelabrum (convertible into an epergne), with a flower-basket for the same, containing about 200 ounces of silver; a handsome soup-tureen, containing 130 ounces of silver, with the Chancellor's crest, a falcon and spur, beautifully executed, standing upon the lid ; a magnificent salver, 22 inches in diameter, weighing 130 ounces, with the coat of arms elegantly engraved upon it, and also an inscription, from the pen of the Bishop of Llandaff. There was also a splendid tea-service, com prising a tea-kettle, lamp and stand, tea-pot, coffee-pot, and the minor materials of a rich and elegant tea-service, containing above 236 ounces. In addition to these mag nificent memorials, there was a gold chronometer, by Arnold, with chains, seal, &c., of exquisite workmanship, and of the value of £lOO. CHURCH MEETING IN BELFAST.—On Tuesday last, in pursuance of the requisition of the churchwardens, a meeting of the lay members of the established church was held in Belfast, for the purpose of having submitted to them a communication from the Lord Bishop of Down and Connor and Dromore, in reference to the adoption in the diocese of the prayer for the church militant. The Belfast Chronicle deVribes the meeting as most nume rous and influential, and as one of the most important assemblies ever convened on an ecclesiastital subject. After the bishop s letter had been read, the following re solutions were agreed to :—" That having heard the `pastoral letter to the laity' of our diocesan read, we respectfully receive it as an appeal to the laity, and a re cognition of their right to express their opinions on mat ters connected with the church of which they form an in tegral portion. That we fully approve of the manner in which the public services of the church have hitherto been performed in this parish, every thing being done ' decently and in order,' and declare our decided objec tion under present circumstances to any departure from long-established usages. That we are convinced the true interests of the church would be more promoted by re moving all obstacles in the great works of church exten sion and church education, than by involving us in the commotion raised about obsolete ritual observances, the introduction of which has elsewhere produced angry and profitless collision to the weakening of the church, and the great injury of true religion. That while we are firmly attached to the doctrine and discipline of the church of which we are members, we gladly embrace the present opportunity of declaring our anxious desire not only to live on terms of Christian fellowship with our brother Protestants of other denominations, but to co-operate with them in every measure calculated to advance the principles of our common faith." The following is a copy of the lord bishop's letter to the churchwardens : " I take the liberty of sending you two copies of a pastoral letter, which I have recently addressed to the lay mem bers of the united church of England and Ireland in this diocese. I shall esteem it a favour if you will take such steps as you may judge most serviceable for making the pastoral letter known amongst your brother parishioners." PROCEEDINGS IN ILFORD CHURCH.—During the last two or three weeks considerable sensation has been cre ated amongst the parishioners of Great Ilford and Bark ing -side, in consequence of the introduction into the various churches of certain novelties in the performance of divine service. Some of the influential gentry of the surrounding locality have left the church in the midst of divine service, and it will be seen by the following requi sition that further steps are about to be taken in the mat ter :—" We, the undersigned inhabitants of Great Ilford, having had our feelings outraged at the introduction of Tractarian forms into our church, and stilt more so at the papistical doctrines preached there, as also by the curate making the sign of the cross upon himself on approaching the communion table, which acts are sanctioned by the vicar, request that you will call a general meeting of the parishioners, to take such measures as may be thought best under these most painful circumstances." This re quisition is signed by 32 of the respectable inhabitants of Ilford ; and in order that the grounds for such a proceed ing may be fully understood, it may be proper to lay be fore the public the following particulars, obtained from personal inquiries and documents placed at the disposal of the reporter on the spot. It appears that no notice was taken by the parishioners of the change from the black to the white surplice whilst preaching, in accordance with the recent charge of the Bishop of London, nor was there anything in the mode of performing divine service devia ting from the usual custom, excepting the introduction of the offertory, and plates being passed from pew to pew during the communion service, which created much distaste amongst the congregation of St. Mary's Church. This distaste grew stronger on p erce i v i ng th a t th e p l a t es , three in number, were, after going round the church, taken, with their contents, to the vicar, still before the communion -table, who knelt over them and blessed them separately, and then placed them on the altar. Since this occurrence the Rev. F. Baugh, the vicar, has introduced the Reverend Mr. Bedford, of Oxford, who has recently returned from Belgium as his curate, and this reverend gentleman, whilst reading the litany and creed, turned his back entirely upon the congregation, with his face towards the communion table, on approaching which it was observed by many persons in the gallery that he bowed and crossed himself.
