Eiberpoof tanbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 27. 1552. IS IRELAND FIT FOR FREE INSTI TUTIONS ? THAT the possession of the Franchise has been the source of one-half cf the sufferings of Ireland, is a fact which we have long maintained, and which, after the proceedings which have occurred at the recent elections in that country, few will dispute. Ground down as the Roman Catholic population are by a spiritual tyranny the most gross and im pudent which has been witnessed in modern days, they are mere instruments in the hands of brawling demagogues and an incendiary Priesthood. They are compelled to exercise the Franchise for the most senseless objects ; never in behalf of any measures, or any policy, by which their condition can be practically bettered. To-day it is for Tenant right, or we might rather term the wild scheme pro pounded for their acceptance confiscation of the soil. Three or four years ago it was Repeal of the Union which was their rallying cry. A dozen different pretences have been got up to draw their attention from the real evils which surround them ; but paramount above all, and to which every other object must be sacrificed, is the aggrandizement of the Church of Rome, and of the power of its Priesthood. To promote this object, the Roman Catholics of Ireland are, as much as possible, with drawn from all kindly intercourse with their Pro testant fellow-countrymen, and brought into an antagonism with the Landed Gentry. For this they are compelled to break the ties of gratitude, how ever strong and to tempt and promote retaliation. For this they are driven to keep up a system of terrorism throughout the country, which has hitherto baffled every effort to improve its con dition, and to develope its rich resources. Ireland might become great, and her people enlightened, prosperous and happy ; but Rome's power over her is built upon her ignorance, her poverty, and her distractions. There is something in the present attitude of Popery in that country of darker significance than meets the eye. Her people, ruined by the imperial policy of the past few years, are fleeing as from a land of pestilence to seek a sphere for their in dustry in other lands. Ireland has ceased to be the granary of this country. Her soil has been rapidly going out of cultivation. Her provision trade is almost lost, and her manufactures declining. Yet against a Ministry which proposes to bring forward measures to restore her to prosperity, the Priest hood of Rome are striving with almost demoniac eagerness. Capital is seeking investment in Ire land. The encumbered property of her improvi dent gentry is gradually falling into new hands, capa ble of improving it, and of doing justice to the peasantry who live upon it. Railway communica tion on a large scale is proposed to be provided, rivers and harbours to be improved, fisheries to be prosecuted, and drainage and sanatory messures to be extended. Yet it is at such a crisis of Ireland's fate that her Priesthood seek to provoke between the owners of the soil and the people about to be benefited, a war of extermination ! It is not an increased amount of emigration which they seek to promote, as the result of their incendiary proceedings ; yet they know that must ensue. They know that thousands, hitherto kept at home by the kindness of landlords, whom they have just insulted and defied, must take refuge in another country. It is not to seat in power any adminis tration capable of governing for the benefit of Ire land that they have been contending, for they ex ecrate the Whigs even more than they dislike the Conservatives. To the ordinary observer the course which they are pursuing is one of self-immolation. It is the course of frenzied madmen seeking their own destruction. The conduct of these men is not Even consistent with the ordinary policy of the church to which they belong. Two years ago they were boasting of the increase of influence which they had acouired, and of the conversions which were going on in Great Britain itself. But their present conduct is sufficient to disgust all thinking men with a system of which such atrocities are a portion, and to satisfy even the most liberal states men that further concessions to Rome cannot be granted without danger to the liberties of the British people. What, then, is the hidden path by which that power is approaching the realization of its designs ? Is it a war of religion throughout Europe, whose powers are to be banded together to crush Great Britain, if she attempts to restrain the rebellious and insolent Priesthood of Ireland, and to protect the lives and property of her Protest ant people ? Some such wild project must be floating in the minds of that power, of which the vulgar brawlers who have so far outraged decency in Ireland are the mere puppits. The conclave seated in the Vatican feel that their influence in this country is tottering; and that even in Ireland the numerical force of their followers is rapidly decreasing. Education is doing its work ; and when it is boasted that " Rib bon notices are now better written and spelt than formerly," it is also felt that there must be more people who can read the Bible. The Protestant clergy in Ireland have for years been doing their work well and faithfully ; and missionary exertions have reaped a rich reward. Capital and enterprise, too, must eventually be introduced there, despite the frantic efforts of the Priesthood and the ribbon conspirators to repel them, by producing a state of terrorism ; for they will be welcomed by the bulk of the people, who are becoming daily more alive to their own real interests. Rome is conscious of all this. She is afraid of the exposure which must now be made of the doctrines taught at Maynooth, and of her conventual system ; and she sees in Lord DJRDY and his colleagues a Government which will polling at the late election, is too notorious to be denied. The records of the Police-court vouch for the fact ; and we most firmly believe that the great source of the confidence manifested by certain ex treme Radicals in the success of their candidates was the expectation that the Irish Roman Catholics would be enabled to produce a state of terrorism in the town. We do not remember, however, that in Liverpool an election was ever attended by exclusive dealing; yet it appears that such a system has been esta blished in many parts of the town during the past fortnight, and no doubt its spread will be greatly promoted by the Mercury's publication of the names of the voters. We gave on Tuesday last a report of an inquest upon the body of a man who had died from injuries received on the evening of the day of polling. In the evidence it was stated by a party that on that evening " an attack was made upon his house by a mob of about five hundred persons. The doors and windows were completely smashed; and had it not been for the timely arrival of the police, he had no doubt the lives of both himself and his family would have been sacrificed. The reason for the attack was, because he had voted for MACKENZIE and TURNER." Two other par ties—females--deposed to being brutally insulted. The most striking evidence, however, is the follow- " Mrs. Johnson, whose husband keeps a baker's shop in Bispham-street, said their premises had been entirely destroyed. _ _ "The son of Mrs. Johnson also stated that their re ceipts from being £3 les. per week, had fallen off• to ss. Respectable people dare not deal with them. " Mr. Ride said Mr. Johnson was not a party man. The attAck was made upon his premises simply because he had voted for Mackenzie and Turner. " The coroner said he hoped the feeling against the parties would now subside. He, however, had no power to interfere in the matter." In Ireland, where the ribbon system prevails and the priesthood are rampant in their bigotry and in tolerance, such cases would scarcely excite wonder. But in Liverpool it is not a little surprising that they should occur, and he perpetrated by the allies of a party which boasts of its advocacy of the prin ciples of " civil and religious liberty." By whom are the Irish residents in Liverpool chiefly em ployed ? By the Conservative merchants and trades men of the town. Were these parties to resort to the system of exclusive dealing,—were they to say " we will have loyal English Protestants only in our warehouses, and to load and discharge our ships," —we should hear a howl from every Romish chapel and every Radical print in the town. But we have not a word from the party deprecating such con duct, when practised by their own slavish rabble towards an humble tradesman. On the contrary, although the coroner, on this occasion, very pro perly expressed his hope that `: the feeling against the parties would now subside," the Liverpool Mer cury—the organ of the " civil and religious liberty" men—has been doing his utmost to keep up that feeling by the publication of the poll books. THE ELECTIONEERING ROMISH PRIESTS• THOSE who pique themselves upon their tole rance in matters of religion—who suggest that the recent Anti-Papal movement has been the offspring of bigotry, and denounce the Government party for raising the Protestant cry at the moment of an appeal to the country, will do well to examine the reports of the recent elections in the " Sister Isle." However lukewarm and indifferent to the interests of vital Christianity and true religion the ordinary observer may be, he cannot fail to be struck by the unambiguous expressions of political and social mischief there manifested by the conduct of the Priesthood. Throughout the whole kingdom of Ireland, the Romish Priests will be seen wresting from the people the privilege granted to them by the Constitution; appealing, where religious coercion is insufficient, to the worst prejudices and passions of the ignorant, the bigoted, and the brutal; and setting at defiance all restraints of decency and good feeling, in the hopes of ensuring the triumph of a faction from whose gratitude they may expect not so much the promotion of the Roman Catholic religion, as the political aggrandisement and an increase of the social influence of the Roman Catho lic Priesthood. Threats, imprecations, and violence distinguish the public performances of these strange ministers of the gospel of peace. In audacity, in virulence, and ruffianism the Irish layman seems to pale his ineffectual fires by the side of the Hiberno- Roman Churchman. The Irishman is excitable and ignorant. The Priest rouses his passions and alarms his fears, and forthwith becomes his master —his tyrant. What an outcry we should have in England, not from the Roman Catholics merely, but from the great body of the English people, if Protestant Clergymen attempted to influence their flocks in the exercise of their political rights, and publicly took part in the exciting demonstrations of an election contest. And yet, during the last ten days, on glancing at the accounts of the Irish elections, we have constantly found Rev. P.P.'s pro posing or seconding the opposition candidates, and infusing into their harangues an amount of animo sity and bitterness seldom displayed by the keenest of laymen. We may refer at random to MONAGHAN, SLIGO, TIPPERARY, WEXFORD, KILKENNY, CLARE, MEATH, and MAYO as cases in point. The graphic account of the performance of a certain FATHER Tom SHEA, at KILKENNY, in opposing Lord JAMES BUTLER, the Government candidate, gives us a lively notion of the dignified gravity and Christian-like forbearance of the Romish Priest at an election. "He got on the table," we are told, " he sprang into the air, and roared like a maniac ; he foamed at the mouth, his eyes were bloodshot and staring, and his voice was raised, hoarse and shrill as a screech owl, whilst he shook his clenched fist in Lord JAMES BUTLER'S face, and seemed every moment about to strike that nobleman off the bench." No wonder that the result was that the mob were lashed to fury, and the scene of tumult became terrific. It is, verily, edifying to see how the Priests play up to the mob, and the mob to the Priests. One Father M'QuAin, of CLARE, ask e d his hearers what answer he could give, supposing the French landed at Bantry Bay, and the people of Ireland were told that the English power was in danger; whereupon the mob, catching their cue, lustily replied by "consigning England and its power to the d—l." There is a wide difference between tolerance and a pusillanimous or dangerously apathetic submission to audacious bullying and unscrupulous intrigu e; and if the people and the Parliament of Great Bri tain be prevented, by the fear of being deemed bigoted and intolerant, from marking with indigna tion such conduct as that recently indulged in by thepo t l o iti p e r a e l y P en ri t hesttse recurrence ofl of u Ireland, and for taking taiking scenes,mea sures it is not the Protestant religion only, but all the most cherished institutions of the kingdom which will be in imminent peril. Lord DERBY, even according to the showing of the organs of his adversaries, will have at least 300 firm supporters in the new House of Commons. How many, we would ask, would Lord JoHN RUSSELL, or any other member of the Opposition, be able to command on any save the one question of Free Trade ; which, for the present, must be taken not to be at issue. On what vexed point could nct Lord DERBY, in opposition, beat any probable Ministry ? On what project or measure could the forces of the Opposition be made to act together, save for the one purpose of driving the Government from office ? There is already much talk about a vote of " want of confidence" immediately after the assembling of the new Parliament ; and already dreams of Downing-street are disturbing the repose of Radicals and Manchesterians, and political Nothing-arians, and all other classes of " Liberals." Should this most characteristically "Liberal" per formance be indulged in, we are very far from sure that the freest use of the Liberal whip would ensure even a bare majority against the Government. But even if there should be such a majority, what reference could be reasonably drawn from the fact ? Surely not that the country would have more confidence in any other party, or in any possible combination of parties, than it has in the Government of Lord DERBY ! What the conduct of the noble lord should be after a vote of want of confidence passed against him, is a question not without difficulty. Although constitutional etiquette—if we might be allowed to use the phrase—may prescribe instant resignation, it would be little short of breach of trust to desert office at once, in consequence of a rude rebuff undir the existing circumstances of the nation. The meaning of the practice with respect to votes of want of confidence is very obvious. If a Government possessing the confidence of the Sovereign ceased to command the confidence of the great body of the people, as evinced by their representatives in the House of Commons, it can not hope efficiently and satisfactorily to carry on the administration of affairs ; but if it be evident that a parliamentary defeat of the Government party be attributable not so much to a strong hos tile sentiment out of doors, and a preference enter tained by a parliamentary majority of and by the body of the people, for another party, as to a fac tious desire to cripple the existing Government, it seems to us that it would be a desertion of duty on their part to succumb at once to the pressure of faction. Of the rule ordinarily followed in such matters, we would only say, " Übi cessat ratio, ihi cessat lex." But again, we repeat there is small reason for fearing such a temporary triumph of the Opposition as we have been contemplating. We believe that even in its ranks there are many men who see and feel the dishonesty of factiously im peding the public Administration, when there is no chance of forming an efficient new Government ; and we therefore feel certain that a muti nous expression of want of confidence in Lord DERBY'S Ministry will be defeated. Were it to succeed, Lord DERBY need not feel himself bound to retire—even if he did resign his office, we believe our gracious Socereign, actuated only by a sincere desire to promote the welfare of her people, would be slow to dispense with his services. But, at all events, Lord JOHN RUSSELL may make up his mind that, now he is out of the manger, he will bited by Irish Roman Catholics. The wealth and respec tability of the county is clearly against the THERSITES of the House of Commons. ONE HAND " There being but one hand held vpfor Mr. Grattan, the sheriff declared the show of hands to be in favour of Mr. Corbally and Mr. Lucas." Such is the statement of the reporters as to the decision of the democracy, at the nomination for Meath, on Mon day last. Bnt one hand for a Grattan, and a whole forest for a Quaker cotton-twister from Yorkshire! What a feather to indicate the quarter of the aura popularis, the steady fidelity of the Irish Bellua. Tt is almost a wonder that even that solitary hand had not a dagger in it. It wanted nothing more to be a complete type of the gratitude of the faithless rabble which calls itself the Irish people. So passes away the son of "my father." Alas ! poor Nominis Umbra ! Mr. Grattan is refused simply and solely because he is not—as Mr. Lucas and Mr. Corbally are—a member of the Romish church in Ireland. That is the head and front of his offending ! and, were he the son of Robert Emmett or of John Mitchell—names infinitely higher in the rever ence and esteem of the same canaille than ever was the name of Grattan—that black mark would be fatal to his ambition. The results of this general election will effectually dis pel the illusions from the minds of " liberal Protestants" that they are, or ever can be, secure in the confidence of a people ruled and led by Romish priests. Everywhere we see practical avowals of a doctrine hitherto disowned by them, that " no faith niust be kept with heretics.' Their treatment of Mr. Grattan is only more remarkable than their desertion of many others, because of his his toric name, and the hereditary claims which, as long as he remained faithful to their colours, they were bound, by every tie of honour and gratitude, to acknowledge. That one hand writes bitter things.—. Dublin _Evening Mail. TIJ] LIVERPOOL l'i.k_LNDAltl), TtESDAY, SIAN 27, 1852. not be deterred readily from using the cautery where it is required. Against such a project as we suspect she is, in her desperation, meditating, it is the duty of Englishmen to be prepared ; and one of the first steps must be to curb the license of the Romish Priesthood in Ireland. Intimidation must be pu- nished equally, whether it consist in threats of personal violence or of spiritual censure. We must hear of no more denunciations from the altar, or threats that spiritual consolations will be withheld at the dying hour, deterring electors from the exercise of the franchise. We, must tolerate no mob-leading priests, and suffer no rev. demagogues to be stationed in the polling booths for the pur pose of awing their flocks. Legislation can provide checks against these practices, and if they do not, the Constitution, so far as Ireland is concerned, is a mockery. RADICAL NOTIONS OF FREEDOM OF ELECTION. TrIAT savage outrages upon the persons of roters for Messrs. TURNER. and MACKENZIE were per petrated in various parts of the town during the THE "LIBERAL" DOG IN THE MANGER. EVERY one remembers how JUPITER punished the discontented rustic, by at once accomplishinghis wish. A similar visitation upon the RUSSELL-GREY Liberals, would teach a significant practical lesson to the public. Should the ardent desire of the late Ministry to return to the high places of the State be gratified, it is scarce possible to conceive a more deplorably ludicrous and uncomfortable position than that in which they would find themselves. The dog in the manger gives but a faint idea of the currish appearance Lord JOHN would present on again creeping into the treasury benches. . . Because Lord DERBY will, probably, not have a large numerical majority of pledged supporters over the aggregate of the tribes and kindreds, coteries and cliques, which form the phalanx of the opposi tion, the Liberals, in a spirit admirably congruous with the arrogant epithet of their party, are profuse in their blusterous threatenings of speedy extinction to the Conservative government, ".Delendus est DERBY." No matter what follows; be it a deluge of democratic principles, experiments, and dangers, or what it may. Let but the impertinents who have dared to retain, for a time, quiet possession of their seats whence " Liberalism" ejected itself, be thrust out of office, what " Liberal" cares how the country is to fare, and how the Government is to be carried on ? not soon be permitted to get back again. THE ALLEGED BRIBERY AT DERBY. IN another column will be found a report of the hearing before the magistrates at Derby of the case of the "mysterious" individual seized in a "dark room" in that town, for the purpose, as is alleged, of bribing voters to secure the election of Mr. T. B. HonsFALL. From the first we were satisfied that the whole affair was a ruse of the enemy, got up to damage the Conservative candidate ; for no one who knows the high character of that gentleman could suppose him to be implicated in so discredit able a business. The nature of the evidence before the magistrates would alone have satisfied us upon this point, had there been nothing else to judge from. It will be remembered that it was stated at the time that some terrible revelation would be made from a letter, which was found upon the individual seized. The letter in question, it seems, was addressed to Mr. JOHN FRAIL, clerk of the course, Shrewsbury, and was as follows : " A good and safe man, with judgment and quickness, is wanted immediately at Derby. I suppose that you cannot leave your own place; if not, send some one whom you can trust in your place. Let him go to Derby on receiving this, and find the County Tavern, in the centre of the town, and send his card to Cox, Brothers, and Company, lead works, as coming from Chester': that will be enough.—Monday. W. B." A man of the name of MORGAN, who, we learn, is a journeyman bricklayer and a Radical, was the " good and safe man" selected. How he proceeded to act is described in the report' elsewhere given. It was necessary, of course, to discover who W. B. was ; and most singularly we find produced before the bench Mr. J. KEOGH, who stated that he was a relative of the present memter for Athlone, and that at present he resided at 85, King William street, London Bridge. That witness swore to the letter and its envelope being in the handwriting of Major BERESFORD, and that he was acquainted with it from his having been formerly secretary to the Reading and Reigate Railway, of which Major BERESFORD was chairman. It will strike the rea 'er as singular, by what means Mr. KEOGH, residing in King William-street, London, was brought into contact with a letter at Derby bearing the very ordinary initials W. B. The solicitor for the prosecution indeed "called attention to the seal, which, he stated, clearly bore the impress of the Carlton Club, with the prince's feathers, &c. ;" but the reporter adds that, "although the seal was subjected to the scrutiny of a m«guifying glass, the impression did not appear to warrant the conclusion." The whole affair bears evident marks of being con cocted, and rather clumsily too. We understand that the respectable firm to whom the letter refers, and by whom it is insinuated that the money found upon the man MORGAN was supplied, knew nothing of him, and never furnished a shilling to any individual for such a purpose. Of course we need not repeat that Mr. THOMAS BERRY HORSFALL is equally guiltless in the matter, if any guilt there be other than that of the parties to the plot. ARE MR.

At present the public are inclined to rank him amongst the class which his friend Mr. OSWALD styles " nonde scripts." Mr. CARDWELL has certainly no need to " drop the name of conservative." That has been done long ago. THE MIDDLESEX ELECTION. AFTER all the Radical crowings over the defeat of the Marquis of BLANDFORD by Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE, the majority of the latter has turned out to be less than was expected, being 132 only, instead of 170 as at first stated. An analysis of the poll sheds the strong Conservative feeling that exists in the county. At the three London polling places, the Marquis was ahead of his competitor. lake the whole county, excepting only the Tower Ham lets, and the numbers are—Grosvenor, 3,926; BLAND FORD, 3,520 ; B.

We have ourselves been compelled to read the Times for about the same period of 20 years, and to observe the singular gyrations of that paper ; but should certainly never think of adducing the fact as any proof of our intelligence. CLARE ELECTION.-COLLISION WITH THE MILITARY. THE Irish papers give an account of a collision which occurred at a place called Six-mile Bridge, between a party of the 31st regiment and the mob of the Roman Catholic party. From the highly-coloured statement given by the Reporter and Vindicator, a Roman Catho lic paper, it would appear that the military were es corting voters through this village, from the estate of the Marquess of Conyngharn, when they were hissed and hooted by the people, and stones thrown, one of which broke the musket of one of the soldiers. A collision took place, and a volley was fired, in which one account says that five, and another seven, were killed, and several wounded. This, the only account which we have seen, is so obviously partizan, that we only depend upon it for the bare outline of facts. BOROUGH QUARTER SESSIONS. The general Quarter Sessions for this borough com menced yesterday, and arc being held for the first time in the new Assize Courts. at St. George's-hall. In con sequence of the indisposition of Gilbert Henderson, Esq., the learned Recorder, J. K. Blair, Esq., presided as his deputy. The calendar is much heavier than usual, containing the names of no less than 136 prisoners, of whom 119 are charged with felony, and 17 as midemeanants. The degree of instruction appears to be as follows :—One only has received a superior education ; eight can read and write well ; fifty-eight can read and write imperfectly ; sixteen can read but not write ; and fifty-three can neither read not write. After the usual preliminaries had been gone through by Peter Wright, Esq., the respected Clerk of the Peace, the following gentlemen were sworn on THE GRAND JURY. Virm. Armstrong, merchant, South Castle•street, foreman James Henry Butler, merchant, Fenwick-street. Robert Lewin Bolton, merchant, North John-street. Alfred Castellain, merchant, Chapel-street. George Lysant Cox, iron merchant, Brunswick-street, Thomas Phillip Dawson, broker, Exchange-alley Michael Harnett, broker, Fenwick-street North. Wm. Inman, merchant, Tower-buildings. Richd. Johnson Lockett, merchant, King-street. William James Paton, sharebroker, Castle-street William Benson Rathbone, broker, Exchange-buildings Richard Shiel, merchant, Chapel-street. John Smith, wine merchant, South Chapel-street. John Stock, broker, Exchange-buildings. William Steel, merchant, David Taylor, broker, Duke-street. William Henry Winn, hemp merchant. Goree Piazzas, George Tweedie,soap . mantifacturer, Virgil-street . . John - Blayds Molyneux, broker, Royal Bank-buildings. The proclamation against vice, profaneness, and im morality was then read, after which the learned gentle man presiding delivered his charge to the grand jury. He very much regretted that, owing to indisposition, the learned and respected Recorder was unable to preside on this, the first permanent sitting of the court in that splendid building ; but he trusted before the end of the Sessions they would enjoy the advantage of his appearing upon that bench, He could not fully express the satis faction he felt at the admirable arrangements made to facilitate the administration of justice in that court, se cond only, if indeed it be second, to that of the judges of the land. He said, if it be second, for when he con sidered the great mass of business brought before that court, the number of parties to be tried, and the impor tance of those cases, it was a question whether the busi ness of the Court of Quarter Sessions was not even more important then that of the Assizes ; and, therefore, the facilities afforded to all, whether as members of the bar, as jurors, as witnesses, or others having duties to per form, was of the utmost importance. He, therefore, congratulated them on these courts being finally set apart for holding the Quarter sessions ; and thought he was not going too far in returning, on behalf of all attending the court, their best thanks to the Council, and more especially to those gentlemen of the Committee, who, by the care and labour they hsd bestowed, had suc ceeded in making those Courts a model of their kind. He had gone through the bulk of the depositions which lay before him, and he did not think there was any case requiring comment from him, especially as he saw many on the jury who were well acquainted with the nature of the duties they would have to perform. The grand jury then retired, and the usual business of the sessions was proceeded with. THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN R AILWAY C OMPA NY are making considerable additions to their already extensive works at Crewe, so th a t thi s i nfant c olony bids fair for becoming an important town. CaEwE.—The Rev. Hugh Stowell, of Mancheste:l preached in Christ Church, Crewe, on Monday evening, to a crowded and attentive congregation, when X 6 u s. 6d. was collected on behalf of the Church Pastoral Aid Society. ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning, a boy, named John Jones, fell off a plank at No. 2 Cl arence Graving Dock, and was immediately removed to the Northern Hospital, but died from the injuries he had received almost imme diately after his admission. An inquest will be held on the body this day. Mr. MAMFIELD said they could not consent, by re manding the prisoners, to cast a slur upon their charac ters, especially as he understood they had been careful and well-conducted men hitherto. It appeared to the bench that either the pointsman was blameable for allowing them to proceed too soon, or the arrangements were defective at that part of the line ; but there was nothing in the slightest degree calculated to criminate the prisoners, and therefore they must be discharged. COUNTY COURT, YESTERDAY BLAKE V. WHITE.—In this case the plaintiff was for merly a barrister, and the defendant is a contractor con nected with the works at Garston, near this town. The action was brought to recover possession of a horse which belonged to the plaintiff, but which the defendant bad obtained through some dealings with a third party. A verdict was entered for the plaintiff, damages £2O; and his honour informed the defendant that his conduct was highly blameable, and, if the horse was not given up forthwith, he should order his committal.—Mr. lime appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Wheeler for the defend ant.

YESTERDAY, Ann Carr was committed to gaol for two months by J. H. Turner, Eiq., for stealing 2lbs of beef from a stall in Pownall-square market on Saturday evening. A rag and bone gatherer, named Patrick M•Hugh, was sent to prison for a like period, not being able to account for a quantity of guano sacks found in his possession. SHOPLIFTING.—Three boys and a young female were brought before J. H. Turner, Eig., on a charge of shop lifting. Their names are Richard Kelsall, George At croft, MichaelM'Quillan, and Julia Rossarty. It appeared from the evidence that on Saturday afternoon a poor crip ple, named Kerfoot, was in Byrom-street, when he saw the three male prisoners go into the shop of Mr. Morris, draper, No. 109, and make off with a roll of cloth. He immediately gave information of the robbery, and detec tive officer Williams went to the house of the female pri soner, where he found the cloth concealed under the sofa. It was worth £3 14s. The prisoners were committed for trial. STREET ROBBERlES.—Frederick Fairclough was COM. mitted to the Sessions for having, on Saturday evening, along with others, knocked down n working man in Green lend-street, and robbed him of a fe,v shillings. John Thomas was also committed for a like offence. It appeared that on Saturday night, a sailor named Thomas Corry was passing along a street between Northumberland men, street and Park-street,where he was set upon by hree one of whom held him whilst the other two took is. Gd. from his pocket, and a bundle of clothes, which he had in his possession. Shortly afterwards the prisoner was ob served by a policeman to drop a bundle and make off.

At half-past ten o'clock the yachts took their stations off the pier, and whatever might have been said of the America, she did not appear to have suffered from her Mediterranean voyage in the least degree. Inoeed, the only perceptible difference in her was, that she no longer displayed her spangled flag and stripes, but the colcurs of Old England, naturalised as she is into the family of Great Britain. Of eight which were nominated, only the Mosquito, America, Arrow, and Zephyretta determined to start. At 35 minutes past ten the starting gun was fired, the signal being made that the yachts should proceed to the eastward, the course being round the Isle of Wight. There was a good stiff breeze blowing at the time, and the day was peculiarly favourable for testing the powers of the yachts capable of standing under a heavy press of sail. The Mosquito was the first to get under weigh. and soon showed her bowsprit ahead of the Arrow, which followed closely in her wake. The America was somewhat tardy in getting her gafftepsail set, which gave the cutters a decided advantage in the start, but that was of trivial ac count when compared with the extent of the course. The Zephyretta was the last to get away, and was about twice her length astern of the America ; but at 11.2, when abreast of the Warren Sand, the Zephyretta had con _ siderably overhauled the America, the Mosquito still leading, the Arrow being about half a mile astern of her, and about a quarter of a mile between her and the America. In this order they passed the Noman Buoy, beating up against the tide. From this point the yachts pursued their course with light winds, prevailing, which seemed not to suit the America's rig, the Zephy retta passing the Nab Light one minute before her. Here the Mosquito, from her shorter length, was the best enabled to avail herself of the light breeze. On rounding the Needles, the America, which had previously passed the Arrow, succeeded in almost overhauling the Mosquito ; but there not being so much wind in the Needles Chapel as was expected, and the Mosquito, hoist ing her large topsail and balloon-jib, maintained her position unti Igettiag towards Sconce Point, when the breeze stiffened from the northward, the sails of the America began to draw, and she continued to overhaul the Mosquito very fast, and passed dead under her lee abreast of Lymington Creek. Having now obtained the lead, the hopes of her friends were revived that she would prove, as she had before, victorious over all competitors, and but little doubts were entertained that she would be the victor. She.•preserved the ead until she got abreast of Osborne House, when the Arrow and Mosquito ran close astern of her, and becalmed her sails. At that time she was going dead before the wind. Being able to answer their helm quicker than the America, and the wind being very light, a great advantage was obtained by the cutters, who had their large balloon topsails set, while the America, with but one small topsail, was not allowed, according to the regulations of the club, to set her maintopmast staysail. Consequently she gave way, and was not able again to regain the leading position. The following is the official return of the arrival of the yachts off the pier, as com municated to the commodore of the club : Arrow h. m. s. 6 59 30 6 59 31 1 20 39 0 Mosquito America Zephyretta • It will thus be seen that there was but one sewn difference between the arrival of the first and second ves sels, and the guns from the Bril!hint were so closely fol lowing each other that they were almost fired simul taneously.
