It will be seen from paragraphs elsewhere that informa tions have been filed against several of the repeal leaders, and on Saturday and Sunday further arrests took place. On Saturday evening last, at half- past eight o'clock, Charles Gavan Daffy, the proprietor of the Nation news ipper, when on his way home was arrested on sworn in --nation for sedition, alleged to have been published in that day. This gentleman is by far the most of the sedition leaders.

Bail was offered, but the magistrate stated it was not in his power to take it. About half-past nine o'clock, Mr. Duffy left the Police office, in a covered car, for the gaol of Newgate, accom panied by the officer who arrested him, followed by an outside car with police.

OUR IMPORTS FOR THE FIRST FIVE MONTHS OF 1846, 1847, AND 1848. we have before_ us the " Accounts relating to Trade and Navigation," for the month ended sth Jane, 1848, and the five months ended the same date, which bring to our notice a few rather important facts as regards the consumption of the country of focid and raw materials, compared with that for the same period in 1846 and 1847. In the articles which come into consumption free of duty, we can only be guided by the quantities imported. Thus we find that we imported of the following articles, in the first five months of the three years respectively, viz., in 1846. 1847. 1848. Bacon cwts. 313 27,601 70,452 Beef, salted, not corned.... 63,012 54,742 54,234 Pork, salted Of articles of food upon which duties are levied, we consumed as follows, viz.:— Cheese 1846. t. 110,617 1. 1,392,611 , 15,073,757 1847. 1848. 149,124 148,940 1,589,310 1,342;700 16,804,614 16,169,878 Cocoa „ . Eggs No. 37,766,019 31,488,407 40,522,656 Hams..... Sugar,unrefined, 2,057,531 2,473,155 2,455,979 Tea .. There is no evidence here of a material diminution of consumption, so far as the above articles are concerned. It must not be inferred, however, that the comforts of our population have been the same in the three periods. We well know that our working population, in periods of distress, resort to tea and coffee as substitutes for more nourishing meals ; and hence the large quantities of those articles and of sugar in the past year. Cheese is also a substitute for better food ; and foreign bacon, hams, &c:, for fresh meat. For similar reasons, we by no means regard an undiminished consumption of spirits as a sign of prosperity, although a Chancellor of the Exchequer parades this fact and an increase in the Excise as such a sign. The consumption of foreign corn we pass over as not affecting what is our main object, the bearing of these returns upon the question of the position of the country. The only important fact with respect to the import of foreign grain is the immense falling off in our receipts of Indian corn, from 1,649.516 qrs. in the five months. of 1847 to 530,689 qrs. in 1848, and of Indian meal, from 561,048 cwt. in 1847 to 121,215 cwt. in 1848. The falling off of the imports of raw materials and articles used in manufactures is significant of the decline in the industrial energies of the country. We select a few of the most important items. The import of indigo has fallen from 27,450 cwts. in the five months of 1846,. to 9,610 cwts. in the same period of 1848; logwood front 13,137 tons in 1846, to 9,825 in 1848 ; madder from 47,429 cwts. in 1846, to 25,135 in 1848; madder roots from 89,121 cwts. in 1846, to 49,983 in 1848 ; raw silk from 2,336,355 lbs. in 1846, to 1,965,049 in .1848 ; sheep's and lambs' wool from 20,158,835 lbs. in 1846, to 15,772,128 in 1848. We pass over .the articles of cotton wool, in which there is an increase, inasmuch as its supply is influenced entirely by the produce of the crops. Against this de crease of the import of raw materials, we have to set down an increase in our imports of the silk manufacture, thus further limiting the means of employment of our indus- trious artizans'i viz., of broad silks and satins from 57,634 yards in 1846, to 130,073 in 1848, and other silk fabrics in the same proportion. With their wonted absence of fair dealing towards the public, the officials of the Board of Trade abstain from all mention of any other manufac tured articles, save those of silk and gloves. They tell us nothing about our impotts of cotton goods, lace, hosiery, flannels, smallwares, watches and jewellery, cambrics, __A 1...1--- enabled to show further the extent to which we are sup plying ourselveswith the cheap productions of the foreigner, whilst our unfortunate native artizans are starving in the streets, stripping of their furniture their once comfortable homes, or flying to the last loathed remedy, the poor support afforded by the Union Workhouse. he splendid exhibition of paintings in the Exhibition ms will positively close on arday nex' On Sunday, 25th June, the Rev. t.

THE WEATHER. - Since our last publication, we have enjoyed a few fine sunny days, but the past week has, upon the whole, been chequered by showers, and some- times prolonged rains, which have rather militated against the hay harvest. On Sunday morning, a very heavy rain fell for several hours successively, flooding the roads and streets. The afternoon, however, was dry, with a fine breeze, and yesterday was, on the whole, fine. SUDDEN DEATH. —Yesterday, an inquest was held at the borough coroner's office, on view of the body of John Wilcock, aged 39. Deceased lived in Collingwood-street. On Friday night last ha went into Preston-street, and there took lodgings with a woman with whom he coha bited. They went to bed, and at 11 in the morning he was found in a state of insensibility, in which he remained until four in the afternoon, when he died.

GENTLEMEN,--Understanding that some of the con gregation of Saint Simon's Church are apprehensive that the railway tunnel and works have made the foundations of the church insecure, I am happy (as engineer of the railway works) to inform you that the foundations of the church are quite secure ; and I may remark, that whilst carrying on the railway works, I have discovered that the foundations of the church are upon hard rock, and more secure than public buildings frequently are. I am very sorry for the annoyance which our operations have occasionally been to the congregation of St. Simon's, but they will now be speedily completed.—l am, Gentle men, your very obedient servant, THEFT OF LINEN FROM A SHOP. —At the Police-court, yesterday, four women, named Margaret Waters, Mary Smith, Mary A.

The London Times, of Wednesday, in describing the ceremony of the consecration of St. George's Roma!! Catholic Church, betrays a levity which, in the good 0 11 times, before Popery was compelled to demean itself with some show of humility, would have earned for him ex communication at the least, if not also the thum-screws , or an embrace of the scavenger's daughter. The ceremo nies, he says,— "Commenced with a grand procession, composed of 2 arch ' bishops, 16 bish o p s, and 260 of the inferior clergy, th e latter giving their spiritu a l super i ors a pontifical reception at the% entrance to the church.

They were followed I ), boys in white vestments, who, with demure faces and hande clasped before them as if in devotion, paced slowly towards the altar. Then came the priests, to the number 260, some with books, which they appeared to read in with I a very sanctified air—others equally devout looking, an d and moving in the standtitude of prayer ; some carrying boil vessels before them all, or nearly all, covered with a blac, cloth cap, very much in the shape of that which carpenters and glaziers wear. (I) This part of the procession was quite re markable for the number of ugly faces it contained, an ugliness, which, even under the circumstances, could hardly be considere d either pictureeque or imposing." The reference to the demure faces and hands elaspedl " as if in devotion," is very shocking, as is the doubi implied of the devotion of the priests, in the assertion' that they "appeared to read" in the books they carried: along, The comparison of the caps to those of carpenters and glaziers is very prof ane an d i rreverent; b ut the climax la the charge against them of ugliness ?

Perhaps however they were purposely intended to as foils for their superiors; for we are told that, — "If the poor priests in their modest surplices and with their devotional humility of aspect looked preternaturally ugly, the superior clergy bore themselves with a port which was wonder fully imposing. Most of them were distinguished by the intellectual beauty of their expression, and all by their pick turesque attire, which, rising from the coarse white gowns 0 1 the Dominicans, culm ina t e d t o t h e extreme point of magnifi eence in the jewelled mitres and the richly embroidered robeff of the bishops, stiff with brocade and blazing with purple and gold." If tl has been the object in view the poor " prefer.. aurally ugly" fellows have been very cruelly abused. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (BY EXPRESS.)
