FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA. We received on Sunday, by the arrival in the harbour . of the royal mail steam-ship America, Neil Shannon, commander, letters and papers from New York of the 11th, and telegraph advices and Halifax to the 13th, in stant inclusive. _ _ The America brought fifty passengers, specie to the value of about £43.000 sterling, and the usual malls. „,, The royal mail steam-ship Asia, Judkins, commander, arrived at Halifax at 9.50 on the morning of the 9th in stant, and at New York at 10.50 on the morning of the 11th; having completed her run out in about 10 days 23 hours, allowing for difference of time and the detention at Halifax. Off the coast the Asia encountered in all its force the hurricane which swept over Halifax on the Sth, a circumstance which in some degree prolonged her very rapid passage. The royal mail steam-ship Cambria, was spoken by the America at 11.40 p.m., on Saturday, nine hours' sail from Tory Island. Our advices by the Atlantic advised us that the House of Represeteatives had sanctioned the Texan Boundary and Territorial Government of New Mexico Bills. We now learn that, on the 7th instant, the approval of that body was also extended to the Senate's measures for the admission of California and the establishment of Utah as a territory ; by votes, on the first, of IA t 0 .56, and ; on the second, of 97 to SO. Several attempts were made to attach the Wilmot proviso to the bills, but the hawse re fused to coincide, and the bills passed intact. Our accounts add, that, on the 10th instant, the'Senate ad mitted into its rank Mesrs. Fremont and Gwinn, the first Senators representing the free State of California in the Central Legislature of the American Federation, and that Congress has decided to adjourn on Monday next. the 30th,of September. On the 10th instant the Pr sident signed the whole of the measures alluded to. From a New York contemporary we extract the following brief epitome of the bills :—” The bill relating to New Mexico provides for the payment of ten millions of dollars to Texas as a c - . pensation for surrendering her cl portion of the territory, five millions of•which are to ise applied to the payment of the public debt at Texas. New Mexico, including the territory acquired from Mexico, within the prescribed 'boundaries, is made a ter ritory of the United States, with the usual officers and courts. The territory acquired by the United States be tween New Mexico and California is made another regq!ar territory, called Utah. These territori into the United States with no provision concern are admitted slavery, the question being , left to the decision of ti people.

Then the sianat being given, the hand opened with his grand overture to °rile Crusaders,' a magnificent composition. in which the idea that runs through the opera is beautifully carried out. The orches tra did it ample justice, and Mr. Benedict expressed his entire satisfaction, while Mdlle. Lind clapped her hands vehemently. The orchestra comprises the first musical talent in thecountry. Then the Nightingale descended trom the gallery and made her appearance on the stage, when she was received with an enthu siastic burst of applause from the orchestra and from the few spectators who were permitted to be present. She looked pale, which was, no doubt, the effect of the inspiration that was upon her, for her whole soul seemed filled with but the one idea ; and when she laid aside her bonnet, and took up the music, she evidently laboured under the deepest excitement. yet of that 'lofty kind that is regulated and controlled by a sound judgment. Every eye was intent limn her, and breath less stillness pervaded the building till the first note of her gloriousvoice burst upon the 'audience in the Caste Dive, and from that moment she held them enchained.

WEST INDIES.—The Royal mail steamer, Tay, Capt. ived at Southampton on Thursday with the 27th ult. She brings specie. value 1.916 dols. ; £l9 gold British corn. £655 ; silver, £6lB ; and 1,114 francs. iad been visited with copious rains. Great ttention was being paid to the cultivation of cotton. A tolerable amount of business had been done in imports at Jamaica, but at somewhat reduced prices. Barbadoes was troubled with a severe gale on the 16th August, which e A:A A---- r T . % IT • • 1 ma much damage. The news from Demerara, Trinidad, and Antigua is of no importance. Exchange on London at Jamaica.—Colonial bank, thirty days, 488 dols. ; ninety days, 484 dols. ; private bills, ninety days, 480 dols. As it resnects the irnrinrt trade the neennnte are /PC4 onennrao,_ ing, particularly from Jamaica. Fresh arrivals of manu factured goods continue to be poured upon markets pre viously amply supplied, and the result, as in almost every other part of the world, is that remunerating prices can not be obtained. We are, however, almost tired of reite rating such statements. UNITED STATES.—The United States mail steamer Atlantic reached the Mersey on Friday morning, at half- Cori of New Mexico as a rider, by a vote of 108 to 98. past eight o'clock, and brings news three days later ea`e than that brought by the Europa. The Texas boundary bill, after two successive defeats, passed the house on the 6th instant, with the territorial organisa- The late floods in Pennsylvania had been frightfully destructive of human life and property. Accounts from Pottsville reported the loss of over 50 lives, but it was hoped the statement would prove somewhat exaggerated. There could, however, be no doubt that a very large number of lives had been lost, and the destruction of property was immense. _ CALIFORNIA.—The steam-ship Panama arrived at Pa nama, from San Francisco, on the evening of the 21st of Autrust. brinffinff 2.300.000 dols. in onld rinst_ nyul ntynni- 240 nassengers. V The Panama left Acapulco on the 13th of A . ugust, and on the 17th the cholera broke out among the passengers with sudden and most terrible violence. About 50 of the passengers are said to have died. The steam-ship Empire City arrived at New York on the sth instant, in eight and a half days from Chagres. She brought in dust and coin, on freight, 756,002 duls. ; dust and coin in the hands of the passengers, 400,000 dols. : total, 2,156,000 dols. The news from the mines is ex ceedingly good, and the yields of gold are said to be daily increasing as the waters recede. Extensive dams and trenches have been made in several parts, for the purpose of turning the streams. An anticipation is entertained, that when the waters subside there will be found an abundance of dust. There is great distress among the Californian emigrants on the plains. The number is va riously estimated from 50,000 to 100,000 souls, the one half of whom will not reach California without suffering, and one quarter without subsisting on their animals, or enduring starvation. There are hundreds, more than 150 miles on the other side of the Sink of Mary's river, that were out of provisions, or had but a few pounds to sustain a wretched existence, with animals that could never reach the desert by reason of the scarcity of forage. A meeting was held at an Francisco, on the 14th of July, to relieve this suffering. The notice calling the meeting says that information, of a direct and reliable character, has been received of extraordinary suffering among the overland immigrants. Several who arrived at Sacramento city state, that on the road they saw fifteen or twenty dead bodies of persons who cane to their death from starvation. Provisions gave entirely out, and the only subsistence now left to the immense train still on the way are mules and horses. The grasses have given out also, and even the mules and horses, their only hope, are dying. The steamer Cherokee also brought 1,610,989 dols. in specie to New York. On dit that the Queen of Portugal is again in a state pe- culiarly interesting. A severe gale, almost amounting to a hurricane, has been experienced at Cuba. The plantations suffered se verely, and the sugar canes were injured greatly. The Trieste Observer, of the 9th inst., mentions the arrival on that day, from Constantinople and Athens, of Madame Luisa Ruttkay, sister of Kossuth. That lady, with the permission of the Emperor, had conducted to her brother his three sons; who had remained at Pesth. The Pope has refused to enter into negotiations with Sardinia, till a bishop who had given offence to the govern ment be set at liberty from the confinement to which he had been subjected for recusancy. Meantime another prelate is giving annoyance by playing the part of Thomas A'Becket on a small scale. The Times states that preparations are making to greet General Haynau on his return to Vienna with a splendid demonstration of loyal devotion, accompanied by an ex traordinary act of grace on the part of the monarch. The garrison is to serenade him by torchlight, and the Emperor is to place into his hands the object of his ambition—the Marshal's " baton." THE SIAMEVE TWINS.—A letter in the North Caro lina Star, dated Mount Airy, Surrey county, in that State, alluding to the late story about the Siamese twins, says :—" They were.at my office on the 20th of July well and hearty, and as full of life as I ever saw them—speak ing of the prospect of their crop, also of their wives and children. Of the latter they have nine as hearty chil dren as the State can produce in one family." It is reported from Persia that an English traveller, Mr. Morrison, has discovered at 'Hamadan the ancient Ecba tana. the tomb of H ep h eest i on, the celebrated favourite of Alexander the Great, who died in that city 324 years before Christ. An inscription, in excellent preservation, is said to identify this monument, beyond doubt, with Hephcestion, who, however, has always been supposed to have died at Babylon. _ The Lille correspondent of the Boulogne Interpreter states that the child of an Englishman, named Elliot, was killed while performing there feats a la Risley with his father. It appears that the little fellow, upon being thrown into the air from his father's foot, instead .af falling upon his feet, by some unlucky movement, fell upon his head, which caused a dislocation .of the .neck, and, as a matter of course, instant•death.

JENNY LIND. The New York Tribune says, that on the sth in stant the particulars of a new contract were ra tified by Mr. Barnum and Maddle. Lind. By this agreement, which supersedes all former contracts, the sum of 1000 dols. per night, for 150 nights, will be secured to Maddle. Lind, in addition to which the net proceeds of every night will be divided equally between the parties. On the other hand Mdlle. Lind has agreed to sing during her engagement in any part of Europe or America. And it is said to be probable that she will visit London during the Great Industrial Exhibition of 1851. She also binds herself to give concerts in New York until the price of tickets shall be brought down to the minimum rate of 3 dols., so that the fairest opportunity of hearing shall be afforded to the public. Meanwhile the enthusiast; for Jenny Lind seems not to diminish in the least, and pre sents of all kinds continue to be showered upon her. Publishers send their choicest books, milliners their most graceful hats, shoemakers their lightest shoes, hat ters their most sumptuous riding equipments, &c., to say nothing of the many magnificent gifts of private indivi duals.—Mr. Bayard Taylor is the successful candidate for the two hundred dollar prize for the best song, to be sung by Jenny Lind, as a' greeting to America. There were 700 competitors. She was to make her first appearance at Castle Garden on September 11. Her first musi;ml display in America will be the " Casts Diva," from Norma. A curious conversation is related to have occurred be tween the Mayor of New York, Mr. Woodhall, and the Swedish songstress. The mayor was profuse in his corn pliments.—Jenny Lind (interrupting him): You frighten me. Everybody frightens me with too much praise. I fear I shall never come up to the expectations formed of me. I have been spoiled with flattery twice before, and I fear I shall be spoiled again.—Mayor : We know that you are accustomed to this, and that it cannot injure you. We think you worthy of it.—Jenny Lind : No ; it is al ways new to me. I cannot accustom myself to it. There is too much friendship shown me. I am full of imper fections, and if you continue to flatter me in this way, I shall tremble when I come to sing.—And, the reporter adds, " It was quite evident that Miss Lind, who is made of a mould peculiarly sensitive and susceptible of applause, was overwhelmed with the praises lavished upon her by the two distinguished individuals who had thus visited her in succession. Her cheek was mantled with blushes." _ The steamship America brings further particulars of the extraordinary excitement still raging at New York, which is increasing daily. The following account of the first day's auction of tickets for the first concert to take place on the 11th instant, is from the New York Herald : Mr. Leeds, senior member of the firm of Henry Leeds and Co., 8, Well-street, ascended the stand that had been erected in front of the orchestra, and said he was now standing on the spot where Jenny Lind mould stand. (Laughter.) He then proceeded to sell the first ticket, having the right to the first choice seat to the first concert of Jenny Lind in America. The first bid was 25 dots., and for a long time the contest was between the Irving House and the New York Hotel, each bid ding very spiritedly to the great amusement of the spectators, who laughed outright. Doctor Moffat, Doctor Townsend, and Dr. Brandreth, also offered for it ; b u t it seems, Genir., the hatter, was determined to have it, and instructed a clerk of his to offer 500 dots. for it, rather than lose it. At length it was knocked down to him at the enormous stun of 225 dols.—more than ever was given for a ticket before. When the clerk an nounced the name, there was the most enthusiastic cheering; and tile people under him stood up on a seat till they gave him three cheers more. The next choke ticket was sold to Mr. Robinson for 25 dole., and then the prices came down to 15, 13, 12, 11, and 10 dols. The first large purchase was by Mr. Howard, of the Irving House, who p urc h ased ten front choice seats in the gallery at 11 dots. each, and ten more adjoining them at 10 dols. each. But the seats for which the hi,kest prices were paid, next to the first choice, were four in Jenny Lind's private box over the stage. The two principal compe titors were the Irving House and the New York Hotel. '1 h e latter obtained them at 35 dots., or 140 dots. for the four. After selling about 500 choice seats, which were curiously selected here and there in the building, and not with regard to any ad_ vantage they really possessed, there were just as good so ld afterwards for 5 dots. and 6 dols. as those that cost 15 dols, and 12 dols. and I 0 dols. There are some as gsod seats yet to be disposed of as any that have been sold. It is a great mis. take to think that a very near seat is the best. The auction went off slowly, and with some little confusion, in the begin ning, for want of a diagram of the seats. However, after the choice seats and chairs had been all disposed of, the auctioneer proceeded in the regular order, according to the numbers, of course omitting all that had been disposed of as choice seats, and then matters went on rapidly and smoothly. Ile sold the drat row of the lower floor, and the first row of the gallery, and then the second of the lower floor, and then the second of the gallery, and so on till upwards of 1,400 were disposed of at three o'clock, and the sale was then adjourned. It will be seen by looking over the subjoined table, that Hall and Son, of the music store, Broadway, have purchased a large number on speculation. The last ticket sold was for 5 dols. The average is 6 do's. 25 cents. The total proceeds of the tickets amount to 9,119 dols. Not one fourth of theta have been yet disposed of. Another auction took place on Monday the 9th, and at the close the account stood thus :—Tickets sold, 4484, producing 24,438 dollars. In addition, there were 600 promenade tickets sold, at 3 dollars each. Several par ties purchased tickets on speculation. The average price paid at the auction was 6 dollars and 38 cents per ticket. THE LINERPOOL STANDARD. Another ecclesiastical act of rebellion against the state has 'jest been committed in Piedmont., by the Archbishop of Cagliari, who has followed the example set by the Archbishop of Turin in fulminating an excommunication against the executors of a Royal edict of the year 1836, concerning the administration of certain pious founda tions in the Island of Sardinia. Another revolution has taken place on the Continent. For a considerable time a contest has been going on be tween the people and the Elector of Hesse Cassel, touch ing the right of levying taxes without the sanction of the Hessian Chamber. Both the Prince and his subjects have seemed equally determined, and the struggle resulted in a state of siege being declared. This extreme measure so exasperated the people, that they rose in arms, when the Elector and his Ministers 112 d, on the night of the 12th instant. into Hanover. Some Belgian swans were engaged the day before yesterday in making meteorological observations on the heights of Belleville. Having raised to a certain height some kites farnisbed with pointed needles, they drew from The clouds, although the weather was perfectly serene at the time, flashes of electricity similar to those of lightning in a storm. Suddenly one of the gentlemen, says the Paris Petrie, was struck by ailash,andthrown to the _ground, in a state of insensibility. 'He had,it appeared, neglected to hold by the glass handle, which served as a nonconductor, and the fluid, descending i)l7 the cord, struck him. He was soon after restored to animation, but his right arm remained paralysed, and there is a doubt whether he will ever recover the perfect . use of it.

A small de tachment of the 3d battalion of chasseurs was out patrol ling in the neighbourhood of the village called Hummel feld, about eight or ten miles south of Missunde. Ttie a peasant that there were aboutan equal number of Danes in the village, marched his men up to the entrance by bye paths and behind hedges, and then suddenly rushed into the place with his whole party, hurrahing at the top of their voices. The Danes, taken by surprise, fled like so many sheep, leaving several of their companions prisoners to the lieutenant and his men. In examining the houses, it was discovered that the Danes had been surprised in the act of sitting down to a good dinner, levied from the larders and farm-yards of the inhabitants. The dinner was not wasted ; the tables were speedily occupied, and the good fare was served up to the patrol, with the good will of friends and countrymen, by the poor villagers. The officer in command of the party had the unutterable satisfaction of devouring the greater part of a roast turkey provided for his unfortunate opponent, and declared after wards that he had never made a better meal in all his life." A YANKEE COURT OF JUSTlCE.—Yesterday the room of the Third District Court was the scene of a very bloody affray between three of our citizens. Dr. Dupas and Mr. D. Veau have been partners in a saw-mill in the Third Municipality, and, having lately dissolved partnership, some legal proceedings I .iave taken place between them. Dr. Dupas, in settling the accounts of the partnership, was assisted by Mr. Severe Wiltz, Alderman of the Third Municipality. Yesterday the parties met in the Third District Court, to try a rule arising from these legal dis putes. The rule had been tried, and Judge Strawbridge had left his seat and the room, when an altercation arose between Dr. Dupas and Mr. Veau, the former charging the latter with not accounting for money he had collected, and the latter pronouncing it a falsehood and a calumny. Mr. Wiltz, seeing the dispute was approaching a serious issue, interfered, and stood between the parties, when Veau addressed to him some very abusive language, calling him a liar and a calumniator, with reference to Mr. Wiltz's endorsement of Dr. Dupas's charges. Thereupon Mr. Wiltz, who is a gentleman of powerful frame, struck Veau, knocking him down on his knees. Before he rose, Mr. Veau drew a dirk and stabbed Wiltz in the breast. Wiltz turned to leap over the railing separating the clerk's stand from the portion of the court-room allotted to the bar, and as he did so, Feau gave him another severe cut in the thigh, but at the same time fell heavily himself, as if he were dead. It appeared, afterwards that he had been stabbed in the back by Dr. Dupas, who avowed the act as one ch • - ..ione in defence of his friend. The knife, which was a very sharp one, struck the spinal column, and immedi ately paralyzed his lower limbs. In the meantime, Mr. Wiltz had leaped into the judge's stand and drew a pistol, when l►e cried out—" Gentlemen, I am badly hurt," and fell in the stand. The gentlemen were then taken up by their friends, and physicians sent for. In a little while they arrived and examined their wounds. Mr. Wiltz was able, with the assistance of his friends, to go down the steps, and was put into a cab and carried home. His wounds are severe and painful, but not dangerous. Mr. Veau was entirely prostrated by his injury, and it is feared that it will prove mortal. The gentlemen engaged in this unhappy affair are all highly respectable Creoles, and men of families.—New Orleans Delta. ANECDOTE OF JENNY LIND'S TOUR ON THE CONTI NENT.—The following anecdote of this wonderful canta trice, and no less wonderful woman, has just been related to me by an eye-witness. It is so characteristic of the Nightingale that I send it to you :—From Stockholm Jenny Lind went for a short time to the springs of Ems, and from thence proceeded to Schlangenbad, on her way to England. A town of some importance lay in her route, and it was not only known that she must pass through that town, but information had also reached some per sonal friends of hers residing there she would tarry with them two or three days. The announcement of this fact, of course, created great excitement. A couple of amusement-mongers in the town hired the public ball there, and fitted it up in anticipation of engaging the Swedish Nightingale for a concert. They even went so far as to sell several hundred tickets, at exorbitant prices, for the concert in embryo. As soon as Jenny arrived this pair of speculators called on her, and inquired what they should pay for her services one night at a concert. - " I do not wish to sing for you," replied Jenny Lind. "But we will pay you liberally for your services." "T do not wish to sing for you," replied the renowned cantatrice. " We have already engaged and fitted up a hall, and sold tickets at high prices, and will pay you 3000 dallars for us for one night." " I cannot sing for you." " Name your price ;we will give it." " I will not sing for you," was the inexorable reply of Jenny Lind. The gentle men could scarcely conceal their indignation as they re marked, " This decision of yours, Mademoiselle, almost ruins us. We have expended 700 dollars in decorating the hall and making arrangements for a concert, at which we bad no doubt you would sing." Jenny Lind im mediately counted out 700 dollars, and placed it in their hands, at the same time expressing the hope that they were satisfied, " inasmuch," she added, " as your ar rangements have been made without my knowledge or consent." The managers expressed themselves satisfied, and withdrew. The next day Jenny Lind announced a concert for the benefit of the poor in that town. The receipts amounted to several thousand dollars, every farthing of which was devoted to charity. Eccentric amiability !—London Correspondent of the New York Herald. IRELAND. The crime of 44 crop-lifting" is rapidly on the increase in Ireland. Sir Robert Peel's will does not allow his executors to invest money in Ireland. So much for the Connaught Plantation scheme.

Last Sunday evening week, thousands of men, with carts and horses, were engaged in the counties of Tippe rary, Kilkenny, Limerick, Clare, King's, and Wexford, cutting , down and carrying away 'the crops from the farms of tenants heavily in arrear of rent. These fellows marched, in bodies of hundreds from farm to farm, to the terror of the honest tenantry, who have fairly discharged their engagements, and who consequently are marked " as enemies to " tenant right." 3r. Cullen has written a letter to the Under- Secretary for Ireland, assigning his reasons for refusing to accept the situation tendered to him by the Lord Lieutenant. The new Roman Catholic primate can have no connexion with any institution so " dangeroui" as the Belfast Col ilege—more particularly as the Pope has ordered him to try and lead away his flock from such " poisonous" pas turage. Dr. Cullen, being a good shepherd, is determined to comply with the injunctions of his Holiness. THE l'oeisn SAVIOUR OF IRELAND.—In a rescript addressed to Dr. Cullen, his Primate in Ireland, the Pope says,—"Nobly do you provide for your clergy and people, when you hastened to communicate to them all that devo tion wherewith you are yourself wonderfully imbued, to wards the Most Holy Mother of God and Most Gracious Virgin Mary, by whom , every faithful soul is said by Cyril to be saved. Under the guidance and auspices, above all, of her to whom it is given to destroy all heresies, let Us hope in this raging tempest for the very present help of a merciful God, and let us expect it with confidence." A fierce faction fight has taken place at Sneem, in the county of Kerry. The parties had been purchasing reap ing hooks for the purpose of cutting their corny but they turned them to a very different purpose, for they cut and mangled each other .with them - in a shocking - manner. Several of them are not expected to recover. There were women, too, engaged in the fray, busily employed in gathering stones for those who were not armed with sticks or reaping hooks. The magistrates have committed several of the rioters. There were but two policemen in the village ; and all they could do was to take down the names of the principal rioters. ' TUE LINEN TRADE OP BELFAST —The first spinning facto] one-and-twenty years old. Now it is said that there are more than £20,000,000 invested in spinning in Ulster, and 300,000 or 400,000 spindles at work. Lord Clarendon states that from 1839 to 1847 the increase in factory labour has been in Scotland, MI per cent. ; in England, 30 per cent. ; and in the north of Ireland, 52 per cent. The exports of linen from Belfast amount in value to four millions-300,000 persons gain a livelihood by the linen trade—and the exports this year are a million more than they were last. The Belfast damasks, now, we believe, surpass Dresden, and there is scarcely a table of the higher aristocracy that is not covered with them. The mere fact of our most gracious Queen having services in this damask must have contributed to an immense exten sion of the trade. THE SEA-SERPENT AGAIN.—The Irish papers contain further accounts of this monster. A writer in the Cork Examiner says he had a grand sight of it in Ballycotton Bay, when crossing in a yawl. Its appearance he thus describes :—" Imagine a creature at once like an eel and a serpent—the head like a serpent in its formation—the neck more like that of a conger eel, thick and covered with a mane. The eye was immense, and partook more of the reptile than the fishy brightness. It consisted of a jet black pupil, encirled by a dull white rim, and an outer circle of flaming red, as red as the gills of an ordi nary fish. Its mouth was not only furnished with a for midable row of teeth, white as the whitest ivory, but two tusks protruded, one on each side, that glittered like silver in the sun, and measured somewhat from two to three feet in length. In the latter particular it reminded me of the walrus, which is similarly furnished. Its mane resembled that of the leoline seal, or common sea lion, each hair of which, as some credible authorities inform us, is so strong and thick as to answer for toothpicks. In spite of the flaming outer e of the eye, and its for midable tusks, the appearance of this marine monster was not by any means ferocious ; on the contrary, its aspect was rather benevolent and indolent than otherwise." The creature, we are told, shot like lightning past the boat, and a shower of small fish fell from his mouth into the bow, these fish having the power of communicating tremendous electric shocks. The writer imagines the length of the cre'iture to be about 150 feet. PROTESTANT ULSTER-POPISH CONNAUGHT. We have on more occasions than one brought before our readers the happy and prosperous condition of the province of Ulster, in contrast with the miserable and degraded character of the people of Connaught, as one instance among many of the blighting effects of Romish superstition on all classes of a population brought within its withering influence, though they may be•surrounded with all the appliances which, if rightly used, would ren der them thriving and contented. The Times, in its dis gust at the synod of Thurles, is betrayed into some truths which have long been strangers in its columns. We ex tract the following from that journal of Tuesday last : " From the synod of Thurles it is no little relief to pass to the late proceedings at Belfast. In the former place, sur roundedliy a desolation unparalleled in Europe, a conspiracy of priests, aided by a set of foreign meddlers, resolves that the people under their influence shall remain as ignorant, as per verse, and as wretched as they are at this moment. In the latter place, under the very same laws and with no greater opportunities, we behold a population educated, industrious, thriving, and happy. On this side the Atlantic no community can show so rapid a development of the arts and manufactures during the last twenty years, or so great an increase of popu lation and wealth, as the city of Belfast. The contrast is so striking as to assume a providential character, as if designed for the express purpose of convincing mankind that prosperity, under heaven, depends on the man, and not on the soil, situa tion, or even political condition. Hardly a good reason can be assigned why Galway should not at this day present the same busy scene as Belfast. The latter city has to import from Great Britain every ton of iron and coal that she wants for her factories or her foundries. Flax—the staple manufacture of Belfast—can be grown and worked just as well in Connaught as in Ulster. As to cheapness of labour, the advantage of course lies with Connaught. But when Lord Clarendon, in his reply to the address of the Ulster Flax Society, observes that more than 0€20,000,000 have been invested in the machinery of factories In Belfast since 1829, an d between 300,000 and 410,000 spindles are now at work in that city, we are brought at once to the cardinal difference between that city and Galway. Who will risk millions, or even thousands, in Connaught? Men will plant vineyards on the sides of a volcano up to the very brink of the boiling cauldron; they will place their whole for tunes at the mercy of the winds and the waves; they will build cities under the level of the ocean, and drive mines under its bed there are no bounds to their daring when the caprices of nature are all they have to fear; but there is one thing they will not do—they will not commit themselves, the hard earn ings of their lives, the inheritance of their fathers, and the hopes of their families, to the power of a rude multitude that knows no law but its passions, and no teacher but a fanatical and unscrupulous priesthood. " Unquestionably in the greater part of Ireland, and parti• milady in the west, religion has made an evil alliance with the .........„ spirit which calls itself independence, and is in fact sedition. The ambitious prelates who have recently hurled their censures from Thurles are the men who have ever laboured might and main to insulate the Irish people, and to prevent them from acquiring any common ground with the rest of the nation. Their object has been to keep the Irishman, nothing but an Irishman, contrary to that law of amalgamation by which in this island so many different tribes constitute at last one powerful and fortunate unity. Thera is nothing whatever that so much brings together men of different creeds, that furnishes so many common topics of interest and conversation, and tends to amicable and candid discussion, as a common ac quaintance with literature and science. This, then, is what the Roman Catholic prelates of Ireland have ever dreaded, and what they are now labouring to avert. They see, as they think, in the Queen's colleges a means of unity, and they accordingly are working their own creed as an engine of dis union. It is the Roman Catholic system in its most repulsive, most ungracious, and most unheavenly form that these pre lates are setting up as a barrier between England and Ireland, between loyalty and dissatisfaction, between the sovereign and the subject. Hence it is that their communion, elsewhere comparatively . tolerant of science, and even friendly to social improvement, in Ireland relapses into a dark superstition, that loves to know nothing, to be nothing, like the rest of mankind. Dr. and his colleagues are not merely Roman Catho lics, nor merely Irish Roman Catholics—the true ruling prin ciple and true name for their creed is separation from En gland." RAILWAY AFFAIRS, SHREWSBURY AND HEREFORD.—The WOl kS of this !hie have at length been commenced by Messrs. Brassey, the contractors, in the neighbourhood of Ludlow, between which point and Shrewsbury, eighteen miles, it is intended to complete the line in twelve months. AWFUL ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAIL WAY.—A most appalling accident occured on this railway, on Wednesday. At eight o'clock in the morning, a num ber of men were engaged in new ballasting the line, near Brentwood, and having just discharged a quantity of gravel beween the rails, they jumped from the waggons and commenced spreading it over the ground, and while so engaged a train from Colchester approached the spot. In consequence of the dense fog at the time, and the noise of the engine of the ballast trucks blowing off its steam, the approach of the train was unheeded until it was within fifty yards of the workmen. By some strange fatality the men stepped on the up-line instead of on the middle space, and the engine passed over nine of them, causing instant death in every case, and frightfully mutila ting the bodies. An inquest was held on the bodies in the evening, and after sitting until ten oclock, the jury separated without coming to a verdict. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—On Fri day a deputation of the directors of this company, with Captain Iluish, the general manager, visited Chester, to consider and decide upon the site to be adopted for a pro posed new station there, it having been resolved, at the last board meeting of the directors, that, in order to free themselves from the annoyances and litigation to which they had been lately exposed by the other companies at the joint station, they should build a new one for their through traffic, and that the Chester and Holyhead, and Chester and Birkenhead Companies, shall be invited in free of charge. Plans and estimates for this purpose are being prepared. The present station, forming a central point for all the lines meeting at Chester, is considered to be one of the largest in the kingdom. The cost of its erection has been defrayed by four companies, and it is nearly 1000 feet long, and has every convenience. ALARMING ACCIDENT.—OD Saturday morning, shortly before five o'clock, a fearful accident took place on the Great Western Railway, near to Wootton Bassett station. A cheap excursion train, crowded with passengers, was proceeding from London to 'Bristol, when, at the siding near the above station, a tremendous .concussion was felt, and immediately there was an awful crash. It seems that the train had come into collision with a ,horse-box, i which, somehow or other , in the short space of a.quarter of an hour or twenty minutes which had elapsed .since the passNs of the first .excursion train, had beenylaced SeP. t-i.:.,1j ears on the line.

'The engineer and stoker were flung vio lently to The ground, but apparently without much injury. The screams were terrific. Two persons had their collar bones dislocated, the heads and faces of several others were out and bruised, and some had their arms and legs injured. A lady named Lewis, wife of the high-bailiff of Bath, was considered to be most seriously and dan gerously injured, suffering from concussion. Dr. W. Bird Herapath, of Bristol, received injuries about the head and face. Mr. Richard Smith, also of Bristol, had his knee cut open, and there were many minor injuries inflicted. Fortunately the coupling-chain of the fourth carriage broke, otherwise the whole of the remaining car riages would, in all probability, have been precipitated over the embankment, and the consequences have been serious in the extreme UNIVERSITY ANDCLE. — ea shiThereß, hasev.

PRESENT TO THE QUEEN. — will soon receive an extraordinary -The Queen of England resent from Posen as a token of gratitude for the protection she has granted to the fugitive Poles. It is the skin of a wether which has been bred by Count Ignaz Lipsky. who is famous for his breed of sheep. The precious skin of this wether, Consul 1., is contained in a box, inscribed with the fol lowing genealogy :—" Genealogy of the wether, Consul I.—(a) Prince; born in 1825, begat (b) Beatus, 1827; (c) Leschek the White, 1830; (d) Dictator I. 1835; (e) Dictator 11. ; (f) Cincinnati 1., 1844, an d from him Consul 1., 1846, of which the skin is enclosed in the said box."—Ktilner Zeitung. [An assembly of 830 land. owners declared the skin of this sheep to be the finest produced, and the King of Prussia gave Ignaz Lipsky the Order of the Red Eagle. What a pity Count Lipsky was not an Austrian subject, for then the Emperor could have bestowed on him the Order of the G o ld en Fl eece .] . . instant, )n the Atli aer Majesty and the Royal family witnessed the performance of the Highland games on the spacious lawn of the old castle of Mar. The Royal party were hailed by a burst of acclamation, and, on alighting, were received by Mr. Farquharson and General the Hon. Sir Alexander Duff, with whom her Majesty heartily shook hands, appearing in excellent health and spirits. Thf Royal children were handed out of the carriage by M`Laggan, and a cordial greeting took place between them and Mr. Farquharson's family of eight sons and four daughters, the boys being dressed in the Highland garb. Her Majesty was in mourning, and wore the royal tartan shawl ; Prince Albert was attired in the royal Stuart tar tan, with philabeg and scarf, fastened by a buckle orna mented with a brilliant cairngorum. The young Princes were also in the Highland dress. After the games, which consisted of "putting the stone and throwing the hammer," the royal party were conducted to the hall of the castle, to witness the sword dance, and a variety of Highland reels. The hall was splendidly decorated for the occasion with evergreens, amongst which were interspersed the royal initials. The first dance was a reel, in which several Highlanders displayed great nimbleness of foot ; then followed the sword dance, which was danced by three athletic young men successively, and by Master John Arthur Farquharson, one of the Farquharson's boys, who distanced all the others ; then came the strathspeys and the Highland fling to the music of the bagpipes, her Majesty evidently taking great delight in the whole per formance. At five the royal party left tae hall, and were at Balmoral by six o'clock. Every day has been occupied - her Majesty, P-' 41''- .mibert, arid the royal children, in excursions to view the delightful secenery of the High lands. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, DONCASTER RACES These national races came off during the pas and were attended by as many distinguished pen aumber, in the aggregate, of her Majesty's lieges than on any previous occasion. The stewards for the races were the Earl of Zetland, Viscount Clifden, and Lord Stanley. The following are the leading events : On Tuesday the Great Yorkshire Handicap was won by Mark Tapley ; Harricot, 2 ; Priestess, 3. started. Won by a head, a length between secon third. Ten others On Wednesday the most exciting contest ever known for the St. Leger took place, the first race ending in a dead heat. Eight started, namely, Voltigeur, Russ borough, Bolingbroke, Windischgratz, Beehunter, Pits ford, The Italian, and Chatterbox. At the start for the first heat, Beehunter took a clear lead immediately after quitting the post, followed for a few strides by Russ- and'then by Windiscbgratz, Russborough lying next in company with Chatterbox and Voltigeur, Italian and Pitsford in the rear. The rearmost horses closed with the ruck in rising the hill, and before they had got to the mile-post Pitsford was in advance of Russborough. Half-way between there and the Red-house he went up to Beehunter, forced the pace, and headed him round the turn, Bolingbroke and Russborongh waiting on them, The Italian and Voltigeur, the latter having been disap pointed in attempting to go up, lying in the rear. At the bend of the rails, about a quarter of a mile from home; the t•\•o leading horses were beaten, and were passed by Voltigeur and Bolingbroke, the former leading about three parts of a length. Next to them from the distance came The Italian, and outside of them, fourth, Russborough. This lot ran well together to the stand. where Bolingbroke was disposed of. Russborough then went up, but, coming in collision with Bolingbroke, drove him against The Italian, whose jockey asserts that it deprived him of a fair chance of winning. Be this as it may, Russborough cleared them a few strides from the chair, and Robinson, by one of his splendid efforts at the finish, made it a dead heat, Marson, who evidently looked for danger on the left, instead of on the whip hand, hav ing to use the " persuaders" to save the race. Boling ' broke was beaten nearly three• lengths, The Italian was fourth and Beehunter fifth. Run in three minutes 21 seconds. Shortly afterwards the deciding heat took place. Betting 6 to 4 on Voltigeur, who laid a couple of lengths from the Irish horse until within the distance, took the lead from him half-way up, and cleverly won by a length. Run in three minutes 24 seconds. The cheering, waving of handkerchiefs, and throwing up of hats on the winner returning to the scale lasted for at least ten minutes. Such a scene of excitement, we venture to affirm, has never been witnessed on this or any other racecourse ; indeed, the St. Leger of 1850, third in succession carried off by the winner of the Derby, and the second for which a dead heat was ever run, may be fairly pronounced one of the most memos able on record. On Friday, the Doncaster cup was won by Voltigeur, The Flying Dutchman second. The betting opened at H to 2, on The Flying Dutchman, and closed at 4 to 1, taken freely. The favourite took the lead at starting, and was so far in advance for more than two miles that 10 to 1 was offered on him. Voltigeur, however, began to draw up from the bend, caught him at the stand, headed him three or four strides from home, and won by half a length. The distance, two miles and a half, was run in four minutes fifty-four seconds. LAW INTELLIGENCE. AN EXPENSIVE CHANCERY SUIT.—For upwal ds of thirty years past the Council of Exeter has been engaged in a Chancery suit, in which the title to an estate, claimed also by the Exeter Charity Trustees, is being litigated. Meanwhile the costs multiply, the estate is absorbed, and both parties having lost the value of the thing in dispute, have the melancholy labour of fighting on for a favourable decision as to who should pay the expenses. COUNTY COURTS AND THE BAR.—The Chester Courant announces that the county courts in that neigh bourhood will be regularly attended by the bar in full costume, as our contemporary expresses it, " candidates for business." It is added, that the bar will not " claim exclusive audience ; and the cost of the barrister's fee will only be allowed as taxation when the barrister is instructed by an attorney. As both branches of the pro fession will be entitled to fees, we have no doubt they will work comfortably together." A HEAVY CASE.—A case is still in progress before the Lord Chief Baron, in the Nisi Prius Court, which is quite remarkable on account of the length of time it has 'occu pied. It is an insurance ease, in which a person engaged in trade claims £2,700 for losses by fire, and two compa nies contest the claim, as being an excess of the injury suffered. Twenty-eight days have already been occupied, owing to the intricate and complicated nature of the evi dence. One of the jurors having died since the trial commenced, both parties agreed to go on with eleven jurors. One of the counsel, Mr. Armstrong, has been attacked by illness ; and the jud g e himself has suffered from an affection of the throat. The charge of the Chief Baron has occupied six days, and the case has been again postponed until Thursday next. The jurors are to be paid one guinea a day each for their attendance.—Dublin Paper. [On Thursday the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for £743 over and above the sum lodged in court, and 6d. costs. Mr. M`Donagli, counsel for the defen dant, tendered exception to his lordship's charge. The agent for the plaintiff handed each of the jurors a draft for twenty-five euineas, making in the whole 275 g uineas. The case was tried by eleven jurors, as above stated.] COUNTY COURTS.—The county courts are a great ex periment in the j ur i s p ru d enc e of this country.
