HOUSE OF LORDS.- MONDAY On the motion for going into committee on the Unlaw ful Oaths Acts (Ireland) Bill, The Earl of SHREWSBURY reviewed the social condi tion of the people of Ireland, and traced the calamities under which that country laboured to the postponement of the remedial measures so frequently promised. n, -sr • -i.

If the bon. member thought fit to bring forward a formal resolution of censure on the government that would be a perfectly constitutional course to take, and one which they were prepared to meet. Mr. B. OSBORNE intimated that he should move the disallowance of the whole sum, when the civil con tingencies out of which it had been paid were moved. The House having gone into committee of supply, and the vote for the salaries and expenses of the Foreign office having been put, Mr. D'ISRAELI proceeded in condemnatory terms to bring the whole foreign policy of the government under consideration. Treasury. The noble matter had been debat Lord PALmnus - rom replied seriatim to the allegations brought forward by the hon. member. Lora J. RUSSELL, lu reply to Mr. Grogan, made a statement relative to the new Queen's Colieges in Ireland, concluding his observations by stating that the course re cently taken by the Lord Lieutenant had been to make these institutions'as effective as it was originally proposed they should be. They were intended to be such as per sons of all religious denominations might resort to, and the purpose of Parliament would not be answered if Roman Catholics were excluded. On the question of resuming the committee of supply, Mr. URQUHART moved, as an amendment, "That from the correspondence laid upon the table in reference to the suppression of the slave trade in Mussulman countries, it appeared that her Majesty's servants had adopted pro ceedings calculated to aggravate the horrors of the traffic and to alienate from this country the good will of the governments and nations so interfered with. After an able reply from Lord PALMERSTON, and some observations en the subject of the means at present taken .by this country for the suppression of the African slave trade, The amendment was put and negatived, and the 'house went into committee, when the vote for theForeign office was again put, which gave rise to a further debate an foreign policy, in which Mr. MACGREGOR, Sir. DE LACY EVANS, Mr. HUME, Mr. P. HOWARD, Mr. UR QUHART, Mr. B. OSBORNE. Lord PALMERSTON, Lord GEORGE BENTINCE, and Sir J. WALSH, took part ; at the termination of which the vote was agreed to, as were various others, after some discussion on most of them, and the house, having resumed, adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THURSDAY On the motion for the further consideration of the re port of the Corrupt Practices at Elections Bill, Some conversation took place between Sir H. HALFonn and Lord J. RUSSELL relative to the appointment of a subordinate officer of the Post-office in the county of Leicester, upon the recommendation of Mr. Gardner, the rejected member for the borough of Leicester. In the course of it his lordship remarked, that if Lord Clanri carde had known that the late election for that borough had been made void in consequence of the bribery prac tised at it by the agents of Mr. R. Gardner, he ought not to have listened to their recommendation. He therefore regretted that through inadvertence Lord Clanricarde had taken the recommendation of Mr. R. Gardner and his agents, but he was convinced that his lordship had not done so with any view of encouraging corrupt practices in the borough of Leicester. . -After a short speech from Colonel SIBTIIORP, Sir C. BULLER, Mr. H. DRUMMOND, and Mr. MUL- LiNas made some observations on the distribution of the patronage of the Government in the Post-office and the Stamp-office at Shoreham, at Cirencester, and at some village in the county of Surrey, which induced Mr. TUF NELL to enter into a brief but very satisfactory vindication of the proceedings of the Treasury in that respect. The report was then brought up and agreed to ; after which the bill was recommitted and several clauses added to it. The bill, as amended, was reported and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. Lord PALMERSTON, in moving the second reading of the Diplomatic Relations with the Court of Rome Bill, observed, that the grounds for this measure were so sim ple and so much upon the surface that it was not requisite for him to enter into any abstruse or refined argument to show its necessity. Doubts, and doubts only, existed, whether, by the interposition of certain old acts of Parlia ment, it was lawful for the Government of this country to • hold diplomatic intercourse with the Court of Rome. Those doubts arose on the interposition of the word " communion ;" but it appeared to him that the meaning of the law prohibiting any " communion" of the Sove reign with the Court of Rome was simply this—that the Sovereign of England must be a Protestant. The " com munion" prohibited was only spiritual communion, and was not the interchange of political and diplomatical com munications. As doubts, however, were entertained on that point, it was deemed necessary to introduce a bill authorising diplomatic intercourse and communication with the Court of Rome. He then proceeded to obviate the objections raised against it, and to explain the advan tages which were likely to accrue from passing it. After showing that the presence of an English Ambassador at the Court of Rome and of a Roman Ambassador at the Court of St. James's could not injure the faith of our So vereign, he proceeded to demonstrate that the want of in tercourse with the Court of Rome was injurious to our in terests ; for we could not now make any commercial treaty with the Court of Rome to obtain for our merchants and manufacturers those advantages which commercial treaties afforded to them in every other part of the world. As no constitutional danger could arise from the enactment of this measure, and as great commercial advantages would - arise from passing it into law, he had no hesitation in re commending it to the support of the house. Mr. C. ANSTEY had expected to hear some explanation of the bill itself and of the objects which it was to accom plish ; but not a word on either of those points had the noble lord uttered. After analyzing the bill clause by clause, and condemning them all one after another, the hon. me m b er cot.c l u d e d b y • mov i ng, that it be read a second time that day six months. • Mr. URQ.UHART seconded the amendment. Sir R. INGLIS complained, like Mr. Anstey, of the insufficiency of the speech which Lord Palmerston had made that evening for the introduction of so important a change into the constitution of England, and almost pitied his lordship for having been reduced to the painful neces sity of pleading as his reasons for this bill the importance of consulting the commercial interests of England in Italy and the increased facility which it would give to British subjects to obtain the construction of a railroad over the Pontine marshes for abridging their communications with India. lie called on the house to relied at what time ntil it s resort to cannibal bats by nature or 1 stood, when 1 inquiry Mr. ( le Cover spoke of the Indi t not to be made- unti be an inquiry y Company exerci apany, how nurious that 1 not unfrequently corn erve their lives, though hile the company was that he was not at ranny of this irres i. !(.1 observe that, although ti the greater part of half a el [ie times multihlied. they hal for those those who plicit con- S who had attempted ft) Propagate religion in their ter .

If, therefore, the company should be tempted to exercise any arbitrary power, the legisla ture would very soon transfer their privileges to the local go vernment, to be exercised for the benefit of the colony. At the expiration of eleven years, the British government would be at liberty to resume possession of the island, on paying to the company the expenses incurred for building and improving the colony, or allow the company to continue in possession under further arrangements. Mr. Humilvent at some length into the question, deprecat ing in the strongest terms the proposed grant, and concluded by moving a resolution to the effect that a petition be presented to her Majesty, praying that the government of Vancouver's Island should not be handed over to the Hudson's Bay Com pany until the complaint of the Red River Indians should be heard and considered. Mr. CHRISTIE replied, and after some further discussion, in which Mr. Wyld, Lord J. Russell, and Mr. Goulburn took part, the house divided, when Mr. Hume's motion was negatived by a majority of 76 to 58. _ _ On Vote for salaries, &c., to professors of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge being put, Mr. B OSBORNE opposed the motion : the committee dividing—for the grant, 96; against, 20; majority, 76 ;—when the Chairman reported progress, and the house resumed. On the question that the Corrupt Practices at Elections Bill be read a third time, Mr. T. tioariax,an moved that it be read a third time that day six months. After sonic a division the third reading was carried by a majority of 67 — the numbers, 80 to 13; the bill passed. CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE, • The Rev. W. H. Self, 8.A., curate of St. James's Church, Preston, has been appointed incumbent of the new church at Lytham. The Rev. J. S. Master, M.A. rector of Cborley, has been appointed rural dean of the hundred of Leyland, by the Lord Bishop of Manchester. ROBBERY OF THE IRISH CHURCH.—Sundry hints have been thrown out in the House of Lords about the propriety of en dowing the Romish Church in Ireland; and Lord Shrewsbury, forgetful of his oath, has coolly proposed to give half the pro perty of the Irish Church to the Romanists. if rebels are to be treated so well, who would not take up arms against the Queen? If this theory is to be acted upon, the only way for the members of the Irish Church to save their ecclesiastical property will he to turn rebels themselves. FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA. By the arrival of the royal mail steam-ship Hibernia, Captain Shannon, in the Mersey, on Tuesday, we received papers from the United States and Mexico. The Hibernia left New York on the 2d, and Halifax on the sth instant. She brings the usual mails, and forty passengers, and has about £5,000 specie on freight. The America, which sailed from Liverpool on the 22d ult., reached Halifax on the 2d instant. In Congress the attempt to pass a sort of Compromise Bill for the government of the new territories has been defeated, the House of Representatives refusing even to entertain or discuss the bill which had passed the Senate, and of which the tendency was to permit the establishment of slavery in New Mexico and California. It seems pretty well settled now that no bill looking to such a result can obtain the assent of the House of Representatives. General Taylor's acceptance of the Whig nomination to the presidency has at length appeared. The only other news of political interest is the state ment now received in an authentic shape of a battle, or rather succession of skirmishes near Guanajato in Mexico, between Bustamente commanding the Government forces, and Parades with Jarante at the head of the revolters. The victory is claimed for both sides, but neither appear to have done so much in the way of fighting. The dates from the city of Mexico are to the 14th ult., where the Government of Herrera seemed to be pursuing its course without interruption or disturbance. The American troops have now all left Mexico, and that country is again delivered up to its own laws and rulers. Among other effects of this is the - re-enactment of the old Mexican tariff. Dulness pervades all branches of trade and commerce. HOUSE OF COMMONS In answer to a q Mr. C. GLYN said s the North-Western Rahway had returned to their do and the trains wouid henceforth be worked with the sa punctuality and safety as heretofore. On the motion for going into Committee of Supply, Lord G. BENTINcic moved as an amendment, " That ;tion from Mr. Thorn le drivers or humble leer itrt ?raying tha presented to the Crowr eraciously pleased to dire( mit to the Secr Coloni, Provin a and the Secretary to t real Boar le lord e li into ,owinz t into a c it a div ) Warm ,wer of j, the public WEDNESDAY g that object E, stated t to the n of the gov ide in Edinbt RUSSELL, in reply to Mr. ces under hich the )rt of the esta gratuity of ' nis bill was brought in, who was Pope, and what the Court of Rome now was. The bill was introduced into this house on the 10th of August, at a time when the Pope had violated all his obligations to Austria, the chief benefactor of the Papacy, when the Pope had been unable to protect the Austrian Ambassador from the attacks of the rabble of Rome, and when he had absolutely blessed the arms of the soldiery whom he sent to attack the Aus trian forces ; and all this, too, at a period when England was more alive than ever to the rampant and aggressive of the world. He did not object to enter into negotiations with the temporal Sovereign of Rome, no matter what his religion migbt be. He did not object to recognize the civil governor of Rome, even though he should be another Rienzi ; but he did object to recognize the spiritual governor of Rome and of all the Roman Catholic popula tion of the world. The Pope had millions of subjects in this country, and he would not give to the Pope the direct means of issuing his powerful edicts to them without any _ restraint. He had another objection to this bill—it nei- ther conciliated the affections of the Protestants nor satis fied the wishes of the Roman Catholics, who in March last had denounced it to the Pope in the strongest lan- ;twit states especially Prussia, ral otter mer d the hous which the carried by Lord Bn( I before I 1 announc , I Odd Fell -FRIDAY ion to lay , nt to the fly uncalled for. BOWRING, ild postpone the ,ent session, and ant of Van —FRI DAY ion from ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPA The Royal Mail steam ship Europa, Captain Lott, ar rived at an early hour on Sunday morning, having made the run from Boston to this port in ten days eight hours, the shortest passage on record. She brings dates from New York to the Bth, Boston to the 9th, and Halifax to the 11th instant respectively. Congress was to adjourn on the 15th instant. It is stated in the Journal of Commerce that a proposi tion was before the Senate for the purchase by the United States of the territorial rights, privileges, and immunities of the Hudson' Bay Company and the Puget's Sound Company. The proposition is said to be recommended to Congress by the Administration. The proposition is, to cede to the United States a tract of territory larger than the state of New York, and for a comparatively trifling consideration. The import a nce of the cession cannot be doubted. It would include the country and the military posts on the northern banks of the Columbia river, and, says the Journal of Commerce, " for ever prevent any collision between the United States and England in regard to points which are unsettled by the Ashburton and Webster treaty.', This of course must refer to the Oregon, not to the Ashburton treaty. At New York, on the 7th instant, a meeting was held to ratify the union between the Provisional Committee and the " Young Friends of Ireland." The Herald says that between 30,000 and 40,000 persons were present. From Yucatan we learn that the white inhabitants in the neighbourhood of Sisal have been gaining power and are gradually subduing the Indians ; but famine will shortly finish what the Indians have left. The poor were already dropping off fast. The accounts from Venezuela are to the 10th of July. The Paez faction still held possession of the lake Mara caibo. The forces were under the command of Colonel '%% an Englishman. The foreign merchants residing in that city had forwarded petitions to their respective Con suls-General at the capital, earnestly appealing to thein to send vessels of war for their protection in the unhappy position in which they were placed by the unsettled state of affairs. They were apprehensive of a revolt among 'the' labourers and poorer classes of inhabitants, for , the pur pose of plunder, owing to the scarcity of provisions and want, of employment, which is attributable to the pro tracted state of the civil war. Little reliance could be placed on the troops in the city, which numbered only 800 men, of wheen 250 were in the hospital. The rest, being badly fed and clothed, would, in the event of an outbreak, join the mob. In the neighbouring rebublic of New Granada there are indications of some approaching change. General Flores was in Panama in April last, and the Caraccas papers say that a plot has been made between him and Mosquera, the President of New Granada, to re-establish the former ColunaLian confederation and establish a monarchy. These accusati on s !nave frequently " been made ap'rst Eons, liulAw taunt any:foundation it would appear ; least, no distinct ground of accusation has ever been made. This plot, it is said by the Caraccas editors, extends beyond New Granada, involving a coalition be tween Flores and the Paez faction in Venezuela, and when united they were to march on the Ecuador and coerce that republic to join in the proposed confedera tion. Advices from Porto Rico, to the 24th of July, state that the inhabitants of Pouce were on the night of the 18th thrown into a considerable state of alarm by the discovery of a plot existing among the negroes for a grand insurrection. It was discovered by information given by one or two negroes to their master, who on ascertaining the truth of it immediately gave notice to the proper authorities. Three of the ringleaders were arrested, and, after trial, two were condemned to be shot and the other to be sent to the chain gang for 10 years. The plan was an extensive one, and included all the ne groes on the south side of the island from Guayama to Mayaguez. The rise was to be simultaneous in the dif ferent p_sts of the island, and the day fixed was the last day of the month. They were to burn all the towns, kill all the whites, and make a second St. Domingo of the island. Since the arrest of the ringleaders confidence English shipping. £4 per ton was the last rate paid for freight to England, but small vessels would bring more. The estates had finished getting in the crops, -and the weather continued favourable for the coming one. TRE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. f:%4in=44MPril Tnment r them IRELAND. All is again quiet at Abbeyfaile, and the mails pass and repass without a single policeman to guard them. Numerous arrests of persons implicated in the late trea sonable conspiracy, continue to be made every day, both in Dublin and in the provinces ; but none of the leaders have been captured since Mr. Meagher's arrest. The National of last Monday, announces that Mr. Morgan, solicitor to the reformed corporation of Dublin, has escaped to France. Saunders's News-Letter states, on the authority of its Clonmel correspondent, that a small party of police, on the Clogher road, within half a mile of Clonmel, were at tacked with a volley of stones from some elevated ground by the road-side. None of the police were hurt, but they failed to capture any of their assailants. The scene of recent insurrection in the south of Ireland is now one of perfect tranquility. The scent lies very hot in Limerick after Mr. Richard O'Gorman, jun. Several persons, including some of the Yankee sympathisers— have been arrested and committed to gaol, in Dublin and in the provinces. They are, however, people of inferior note. The Cork Constitution states that the gunpowder seized at Dungarvan had not been shipped for an unlawful pur pose, but fell into the hands of the authorities, through the imprudence of the master, who, attempting to escape the difficulty of the county being proclaimed, was silent respecting it, and thus excited suspicion. Summonses , are to be issued immediately to the jurors of • • Tipperary, calling on them to attend the special comaais sion, which will be opened early next week, for the trial of Smith O'Brien, Meagher, Duffy, &c., who have been taken in arms or been in correspondence with the rebels It is said that they will be tri ment" for conspirael in one ' The Nenagh Guardian asserts that, when M and his two friends, Leyne and O'Donoghue, Meagher ;een on the high road by the police, there was a fourth was permitted to escape, and that person with them win this person was no j ley do not merely in _ nctly allege, that Mr. Doheny had id that it was through his information that Mr. but 'd s on Wednesday found guilty under the t, and Mr. O'Dogherty was on Thursday treason-fel again placed on his trial, when Mr. Butt, on behalf of th ay, but the ehallen p;ainst Mr. Duff Lbandoned, as cer tain documc 11 O'Brien's ith materials for putting r. Duffy on hip trial for high tr The Dublin Herald that Mr. Martin was tried by an exclusively Protestant jury. INTIMIDATION OF JURORS.—Shortly after the foreman of the jury in John Martin's case had returned home after the prisoner's conviction, he was waited on by Mr. James Martin, a brother of the felon, who said to him—" I come here to challenge you to mortal combat, for having bullied the jury in the case of my brother." This was declined by the foreman, who handed over the would-be duellist to the police. James Martin afterwards wrote to apologise for his silly impudence. On Friday, this person was committed by the Chief Baron for a month to prison, his lordship stating that the sentence was less severe on. account of the prisoner's having expressed his sorrow for the offence, and the appeal made on his behalf by the foreman of the jury. On Friday. fourteen prisoners were removed from the gaols of Kilmainham and Newgate, under a strong escort of constabulary and city police, and sent by railway to Kingstown, from whence they were transmitted, on board war steamers, to Belfast. On Saturday the jury in the case of O'D again discharged, being unable to agree, and th A.ttorney- General intimated that:he would again try him at the next le prisoner reason, was sen ten cec to ten years transportation, and was removed to Newgate in chains. Prior to the sentence being passed, Mr. Martin said that he would not condescend to ask for mercy. He was strongly of opinion that he was morally right, and that he had done nothing that would stain his character as a man, a patriot, or a Christian. The Clonmel Chronicle announces the arrest of one of the rebels wounded at Ballingarry :—" A man of the name of Jan-es Dwyer was brought into Clonmel on Friday, and lodged in the county gaol ; he was one of the insurgent band in the battle of Boulagh Common and at Ballingarry, and had a dreadful wound in the right breast. Ever since the affray he has been concealed in one of the pits in the vici nity of Boulagh, and from information received by the authorities, he was arrested down in the pit a few days since, and conveyed to Killenaule, from which place he was escorted into Clonmel." Lord Hardinge reviewed the troops under General Mac donald, at Limerick, yesterday week. The Morning Herald states that there are in Ireland full 3,000 Roman Catholic priests, and 1,500 professed religious women of various orders. THE POTATO BLIGHT IN IRELAND.—The failure, we regret to say, appears to be as complete as that of 1846. There are now lying before us reports from Tipperary, Carlow, Cork, Sligo, Limeri< k, Derry, Antrim, Down, Louth, Armagh, and Monaghan, and unhlppily they all concur in representing the pestilence as universal. The Irish papers report the premature death of Mr. G. Nimmo, an engineer well known in that country. It seems that as Mr. Nimmn, accompanied by two men in a sailing boat, was crossing one of the bays in Connemara, the boat, when at full sail, struck upon a sunken rock, which cleft her in two. The two men, with this much lamented gentleman, perished. NEW SOCIETY FOR IRELAND.—Last Monday a meet ing of about 60 noblemen and gentlemen, among whom were Lord Cloncurry, Earl of Miltown, Lord W. Fitz gerald, Sir M. Chapman, &c., was held in Dublin, when it was resolved to form a society " to promote the peri odical sitting of the Imperial Parliament in Dublin," the annual subscription to be XI. CURIOUS ASSOCIATION.—A correspondent of the Cork Constitution says,—" Some few years ago I paid a visit at Dromoland, the seat of Sir Lucius O'Brien, Bart., County Clare. Sir Lucius, pointi►►g out to me the various members of the family pictures, showed me one of Lord Chancellor Hyde, (Earl of Clarendon, and grandfather of Queen Anne,) among the ancestry of the house of O'Brien. Would that the unfortunate William Smith O'Brien had not endeavoured to sully the brilliancy of an escutcheon so distinguished ! and exposed himself to the censure and rigour of the law, so well administered by the present Earl of Clarendon. AN IRISH VAGRANT'S DEFENCE.—An ingenious de fence was made in a case tried at Galway, at the present assizes. M. Connelly was placed at the bar and arraigned, the grand jury having presented him as a vagrant. The evidence adduced against him clearly proved that he was a notorious bad character. He had no settled place of residence, was canstantly before the magistrates at petty sessions on charges of sheep stealing and killing sheep ; he has publicly sold. in markets legs, of mutton at 6d. each, and was committed for trial both at quarter sessions and assizes • but so ingeniously did he c o n ti nue t o com mit these Offences, that exidence could not be adduced legally to commit him. The case for the prosecution having closed, the prisoner made a few observations to the court in Irish, which Mr. Walter Bourke translated —the statement of the prisoner being both ingenious and poetic.—Mr. Bourke said : My lord, the prisoner sub mits that all the evidence given on the part of the prose cution must be construed in his favour ; and that the fact of his being so often tried, and on no occasion convicted, clearly shows he must be an honest man—(loud laughter) —for the same reason, my lord, as the prisoner states, that the more frequently gold is molten in the furnace and tried for its genuine character, the purer it becomes. —(Loud and continued laughter, in which Baron Lefroy heartily joined.)—He further submits, my lord, that his case is analogous to that of Jonas in the whale's belly— (laughter)—for that when Jonas escaped from the belly of the whale, he went forth an untainted character, and so he insists he should be considered, having escaped from the clutches of Mr. Lopdell, who, the prisoner states, is in mind very like a whale, and who sought to devour him. (Laughter.) He further, my lord, insists that the fact of his having meat frequently in his possession, and having gone about the country selling legs of mutton, demon stratively proves his innocence. for that it is merely evi dence to show he is a man of industrious habits prosecu ting his trade as a butcher.—(Loud laughter.) He sub mits, my lord, to go into the dock and stand his trial for sheep stealing, or any other offence that may be brought against him ; but he denies the existence of a power in the jury to find him guilty as a vagrant, the whole weight of the evidence in his opinion going to prove he is an honest man.—(Loud laughter)—He was sentenced to the usual penalty in such cases. STRANGE POLICE CASE.-At the Henry-street Police office, Dublin, on Thursday, a respectable-looking young man whose name appeared as George Bailey, of Calen, Wiltshire, was charged with having a gun and a case of pistols in his possessioa without license. The following are the heads of the case :—On Wednesday (the day before), Mr. Bailey arrived at Dublin from-Liverpool, and went to Fleming's Hotel, North Wall. In the course of of the evening, some discharged soldiers arrived from England and also stopped at the same hotel. Two of them slept in.the room over Mr. Bailey's bedroom, and about two o'clock next morning, one of them who was very•drunk, got up with the intention of proceeding down stairs. The window of the room looked on a shed, and the man mistaking it, as it was open, for the door, walked out on the sill, and finding his mistake attempted to re cover himself. He failed, and laid hold of the window sill to support himself. He fell so far, and his legs hung down. In his exertions to regain the room his feet came into contact with the window of the room in which- Mr. Bailey was asleep. He kicked away for some time, and broke several panes of glass. Mr. Bailey was roused, and having a good deal of property in the room, jumped out of bed, thinking he was going to be attacked by robbers, and seized a small pistol which he had left loaded on the dressing table, when by some accident it went off, the ball severely wounding himself in the hand, and passing to the other side of the room. The man at the outside of the window, hearing the report, and thinking it aimed at him, fell from his position, and coming on the shed, tumbled through another Window, and cut one o f hi s l egs severe l y . When the waiter ran up stairs be found Mr. Bailey nearly covered with blood, and afterwards found the soldier half dead from fright and hurt. The • man declared he bad been shot, though the ball did not go near him. The soldiers gave the alarm to the police, stating that their comrade had been shot.. A surgeon was brought, Mr. Bailey's hand was dressed and the soldier was sent to the hospital. The constable called was puzzled a n d d ec id e d on charging Mr. Bailey with having arms in his possession without a license.—Mr. O'Callagan, the magistrate, ques tioned Mr. Bailey strictly as to his possession of them, and the reply was to this and other questions, that he had just arrived from Liverpool, that be had accidentally gone to the inn, not wishing to take his luggage through the town, as he was going on business in the corn trade; that he carried the pistols for his personal protection, and the gun—which he intended to register as soon as possible— for his amusement. He added that he knew General Dombrain, of the commissariat department. That gen tleman was sent for, and gave Mr. Bailey a high character; he also added that he had employed Mr. Bailey at Water ford under the relief commission, and that his story was, he believed, correct. Meantime Mr. B's luggage was searched by the police, but nothing of a "felonious" cha racter was discovered.—The magistrate at the end of these strange and eventful proceedings, discharged Mr. Bailey, and ordered the arms to be sent to the commis sioners' office.

Several emigrants had arrived at Trinidad from Marti nique, not thinking their lives secure during the present unsettled condition of the French West India colonies. We have advices from Port-au-Prince and Jacmel, Hayti. From JacmA we learn that many respectable persons had been arrested them having been confined in iron manding the arrondissement, who The General recent y actec _ mel was threatened, had been removed by the President Soulonque for performing his duty. At Port-au-Prince everything was tranquil, but the prisons were filled with political offenders, many of whom it was thought would be shot on the return of the President from his tour through the southern part of the republic. From Cuba we learn that the island was perfectly tran quil when the Great Western left, on the 27th ultimo. A slight disturbance had occurred at one of the outports, but it had been repressed by the energetic measures of the Governor-General. The chief of the town, who was im plicated in the revolt, had fled. This is doubtless the oc currence that has been magnified by the American papers into a revolution in Havannah, and which originated the news in the New York papers of the sth of August. brought by the United States steamer to Cowes on Friday evening. The Captain-General of Cuba had seized a slaver entering one of the ports with 150 negroes on board. She had been brought round to Havannah. The blacks would be brought round and apprenticed for seven years, and would then be entitled to freedom and per mitted to leave the island, in virtue of the convention to that effect between the British and Spanish Crowns. Our Mexican advices represent iolitical affairs as ex tremely unsettled. The Indians were about in large num bers, causing travelling to the interior to be very unsafe. Some of the cities had called out the inhabitants to patrol during the night, to prevent surprises from the band of Indians prowling about for plunder. The Americans had given up all the ports to the Mexican authorities, and the national flag was once more hoisted in all the ports. The Customs' duties were collected according to the old tariff. The llnitcd .Statva! army bad nearly all embarked, and it would very soon he entirely out of the Mexican territo ries, the approach of the sickly season on the coast causing them to lose no opportunities offering for their embarkation. In Demerara the planters were all busy with their crops, the weather being very fine, but labour still scarce. In the Danish islands of St. Thomas's and St. Croix order amongst the emancipated blacks had been restored, and the negroes had returned to their work. FRANCE The greatest anxiety is manifested throughout the capital from the rumours current about an insurrectional movement hurried, if not caused by the threatened debate on the report and documents inculpating Ledru Rollin, Caussidiere, and Louis Blanc. The Government had received information of an intenied insurrection, and taken . the most determined precautions. Abd-el-Kader is about to be transferred from Pau to the Chateau of Amboise, in the department of the Indre et-Loire. Orders have been given to have the chateau prepared for his reception within a fortnight. The number of unemployed operatives in the 11th ar rondissement of Paris is officially announced as 3000, and that in the 12th arrondissement at 10,000, who subsist entirely on the food distributed to them by the municipal authorities. ITALY BOMBARDMENT OF BOLOGNA.--A conflict has taken place between the Austrian troops and the Bolognese,.in which the former were repulsed ; but they subsequently raised reinforcements and bombarded the city. The Au strian geneial, on the Bth instant, laid a heavy contribu tion on Bologna, and to secure its payment reqnred hos tages. This demand gave great offence—the people re sisted, and the tocsin was sounded. A dreadful 'conflict, we are told, ensued ; but the details are not given. The Bolognese, however, captured 27 of the enemy's troops, and drove the main force out of tho. city. Shortly after.. wards the Austrian returned, and commenced bombarding that town ; two of the palaces were soon in flames, and the fanbourg pillaged and burned. The Austrians lost 40 men killed and 5U prisoners ; the Bolognese 15 killed and wounded. Latest advices from Rome state that the populace were in a most excited state. An address to the French Re public, demanding intervention, had been signed by the people. The Chamber ITproved of this address, and sent it to the Ambassador, who replied that he would forward it to his Government. The following list of the new Ministry had been communicated to the Chamber of Deputies :—Count Fabri, Interior ; Di Rossi, Grace and Justice ' • Lauri, Finance ; Guarini, Commerce and Indus try, and, provisionally, Public Works; Count Campello, Arms ; Perfetti, Police, ad interim. The Epoca states that his Holiness has dismissed the Ministerof Arms, Count Campello. The Patria of Florence, of the 10th, pub lishes a letter from Rome of the Bth, which says that the Cardinals were flying from that city. The Portuguese government has ordered a youni.Spa niard, named Aguilar, to leave Portugal, because he had written some republican verses in an album kept at an inn at Contra. DREADFUL CASE OF SUICIDE.—A case of suicide, rare in Germany, occurred two days past on the Hanover-Hil desheim line. Professor Michelsen, of Kiel, stepped from the waggon at the station, placed his head suddenly under the wheel of a locomotive on the point of moving, and in an instant it was severed from his shoulders. THRILLING SCENE.—We learn that a fearful scene oc curred at the Suspension-bridge, at Niagara Falls, yester day afternoon. Four men were passing over the bridge, when it was struck by one of those sudden and strong gusts of wind which frequently rush through the chasm with the tremendous force of a hurricane, and so twisted it as to turn it bottom upwards. The men caught the wires, and in this position —suspended 200 feet above the resist less waters beneath—they were enabled to maintain them selves until the alarm was given at the Falls, a mile and a half distant, and the whole population rushed to the res cue. The bridge was restored to its former position, and the men saved. We hive not learned the particulars, but can well imagine the deep sensation of the spectators, as well as those whose lives hung upon a thread, as it were, during the time which intervened between the accident and the rescue.—Huron Gazette, July 21. COLOGNZ CATHEDRAL. —The s ixth hundredth anniver sary of laying the foundation stone of this unfinished cathedral was celebrated with much royal and sacerdotal pomp on Monday. The most characteristic event of the day was an accidental one. Shrtly before the arrival of. the kin', a band of peasants going on t h e annua l pilgrim age to the chapel at Cafen entered the city by the bridge of boats. It was composed of very old men and women in their provincial costume, dusty and footsore with their day's march. They walked in two long lines, the women first, with folded hands, chanting the Ave Maria : a priest in full robes followed, - breviary in hand and the crucifix borne behind him. Then came the men, aged, bald, and wrinkled, stooping under the weight of years and toil; many of them were the very types of the peasant in the etchings of Ilolbein's " Dance of Death ;" most of them 'repeated aloud a prayer as they walked along. Several covered carts closed the procession, carrying the , baggage nd a few children, half-delighted, half-scared by the great ating banners and the noise and rush of the great city. . ney all rested for the night outside the walls, and re mitted their. march .next day, having still three days' journey before them. It was a fragment of the life of the middle ages brought suddenly on the scene; and it was ahnost t me only event of the day that let an impression of tame tneu 9r depth of feeling. an Tl 7 monster RAILWAY AFFAIRS. The dividend of Bs. per share recommended in the re port of the Eastern Counties railway was carried at the half-yearly meeting. - RAILWAY SPEED.—The express train of the Great Western on Tuesday last ran the 22 miles from Dideot to Swindon in eighteen minutes. The dividend to be declared at the approaching meet ing of the North British Railway Company will be five per cent. - It is expected that the dividends of the York, New castle, and Berwick, and the York and North Midland Railways, will be eight per cent. at the approaching meetings. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAlLWAY.—Traffic for the week ending August 5, £lBO7 4s. Id., and for the week ending August 12, £2235 55., (PostolEce for conveyance of mails, and toll from Shrewsbury and Chester Railway Company, not included.) The report and accounts of the Great Northern were adopted by the shareholders at the half-yearly meeting ; arks to the directors on the tter various pr necessity of a more stringent economy in the conduct of their affairs. Before October the line will probably be opened to six miles beyond Lincoln IAIESIIIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY. —Baron Goldsmid and Mr. Garnett have joined the Board of Directors, and it is intended to resume forthwith the works for complet ing the line between Chester and Warrington. Arrange ments are also in progress for resuming the works at the Birkenhead Docks. At the South-Eastern rail meeting, the dividend was continued and 15s. 9d.

The deceased gentleman got on to the main lice at the moment a train was approaching. The engine -driver sounded the steam whistle, but from deafness, it is supposed, he was not conscious of his danger until the buffer of the engine caught him, and threw him apparently on to the perma nent way between the rails, the firebox of the engine crushing him as it went along. Mr. Glyn, at the London and North-western meeting last week, took the opportunity of congratulating the shareholders upon the connection with the docks in the Thames, which will very shortly be realized. It is curious to observe how every railway is trying to have its water terminus. Mr. Hudson connec t s hi s astern Counties at Yarmouth; his Hull and Selby at Hull; his northern lines at Hartlepool and Sunderland. The Great Western has Bristol, and is looking to Plymouth and Falmouth. The shrewd men of Sheffield were laughed at for seizing hold of dull Great Grimsby ; but every day's experience is proving the wise policy of that step. The Lancashire and Yorkshire have secured Goole ; the South-western, Southampton, &c. ; and we have no doubt that, in a few years, docks will be a feature of every important line. The possession of a good water terminus is like extend ing the line, in one sense, t o a ll th e wor ld. RAILWAY COLLISIONS.—On Thursday morning a colli sion took place on the London and North-Western Rail way, between the early mail train from York and the branch mail train from Peterborough. The spot where the collision took place is called Ashton Bank, situate about 54 miles on the northern side of Wolverton, and 24 miles from the Roade station. The Peterborough mail train left Peterborough, drawn by No. 93 engine, and all went well until the arrival of the train at Ashton Bank, when the engine came to a dead stop, in consequence of the connecting-rods of the engine having given way. The York mail was at this time due, and the engine-driver, being unable to do anything with his engine, immediately dispatched his fireman down the line towards the Roade station with the fog signal, it being exceedingly foggy at the time, in order to stop the up-coming trains. The York mail was at the moment approaching, and it appears that there was not sufficient time after the engine -driver of that train had sight of the fog signals, to stop to prevent his running into the Peterborough train. Several of the carriages were much damaged, and some of the passengers were cut and bruised ; but no serious injuries appear to have been sustained by any one, except a man named Col lins, the under-guard, whose head came in contact with the break-iron, and who is thought to have sustained a concussion of the brain. He has been removed to Lon don, and is now lying in the University College Hospital. As soon as the line was cleared, the passengers were brought to Wolverton by the Liverpool mail, and thence to London, where they arrived at nine o'clock, upwards of five hours after the proper time. Amongst the passengers in the York train were the Rev. Dr. Townsend, Preben dary of Durham, his lady, and lady's maid (Mrs. Chorl ton). Happily the Dr. and his lady escaped with a few trifling contusions, but Mrs. Chorlton was a good deal cut about the head.—Another accident occurred on this line of railway on Friday morning, by which the life of one of the engine -drivers has been placed in imminent peril. The following are the circumstances, as far as we have been able to ascertain them :—Thomas Sands left Bir mingham at a quarter to nine o'clock on Thursday eve ning, in charge of a luggage train, which he brought safely as far as the Tring-cutting. While. passing be tween this cutting his engine became out of order, and the unfortunate man having become alarmed, threw him self off the engine-plate into the embankment, and sus tained a severe fracture of the thigh.—Another collision took place at Birmingham on Friday. On the arrival of the nine a.m. express train from London at the Birming ham terminus, a train of first and second class carriages was being shifted on the main line. The driver of the engine drawing the express train did not shut off his steam in time. He ran into the train of empty carriages, smash ing three or four of the first-class, and damaging more or less every carriage in the train. No life was lost. I. 7 . l t7:grtrt fleacS. The Wesleyan Methodist conference will be held next year at Manchester. Mr. Palmer, solicitor, of Preston, paid last week his one hundred and nineteenth visit to Lancaster Assizes. On Wednesday, a sturgeon, upwards of six V feet in length, and weighing 1221b5., was caught by Robert Leadbetter, of North Meols, at that place. A NOVEL DEFENCE.—A man was brought up, on Monday, at Preston, charged with having been drunk and creating a disturbance in the previous week. He hoped the bench would pardon him as he had only been attend ing a temperance tea party, and had had a little drop too much. DEATHS FROM DROWNING.—On Sunday, a little boy. named John Dean. a year-and-a-half old, was drowned in a pit at Winstanley. The child had walked out of the house, and fallen into the water.—On the following day, a little girl, named Mary Ann Heaton, was drowned in a pit at Pemberton. She was playing with some other children, and fell in. CONVICTIONS FOR BURGLARY.—At the Lancaster assizes last week, three men, named Pilkington, Culshaw, and Cheetham, were sentenced to fourteen years' trans portation, for a burglary a t the house of Mary Crawshaw, near Cro ston. John Doming was sentenced to a similar term of banishment, for a burglary in the house of James Rainford, at Preston. FATAL RESULT, OF A BOYISH QUARREL..—On Tues day, two little boys, named Charles and George William son, the sons of an operative of that name living in Red Bank, Manchester, aged respectively nine and four years, were proceeding homewards, on their way from school, when they commenced quarrelling, and Charles, the eldest, struck his brother a blow. A person who was passing at the time, and knew them, interfered, and told them it was very wrong to quarrel, on which the youngest raised his hand and repaid his brother the blow, causing him to fall backwards off the footpath. Just at the mo ment a laden cart happened to pass, the driver of which did not witness the quarrel, when, before the fallen boy could regain his feet, the wheel passed over his head, and killed him on the spot. CHESTER ASSIZES.—The assizes for the county of Chester commenced on Monday. Joseph Sherlock, 19, William Sherlock, 25, William Mitchell, 24, and Samuel Pownall, 22, were indicted for the mansllughter of Thos. Evans, at Greasby, near Birkenhead, on thel6th of June. The first-named prisoner was charged as principal, and the others as accessories. The matter had its origin in a fight, but the jury, after hearing the evidence, acquitted the prisoners. John Dean, 20, pleaded guilty to two in dictments, charging him with stealing letters containing money, the property of the Postmaster-Ceneral, at Wilmslow, and was sentenced to seven years' transporta tion. Thomas Jones, 24, was similarly sentenced for stealing a letter containing ten postage-stamps' and a half sovereign, the property of the Inspector anr! Re ceiver-Generals, on the 11th of July last. The prisoner was a letter-carrier at Birkenhead postoffice. August 22, 184%. EMIGRATION.—According to a net hie d °TI OI places of worship in Lancaster, a meeting of the : payers took place on Thursday last, in the vestry 0 4 6 Parish Church there, to consider whether mon je s t ceeding half the average yearly poor-rate for the.d years should be borrowed as a fund to defray the elr ot of the emigration of poor persons having settleagn4, the parish, and expended under the regulations existing poor law.
