Christian's Ap- ESTABLISH- MELANCHOLY DEATIL—We regret to have to announce the death of the Rev. James Lowry Dickson, rector of Levey, county of Cavan, under the following melancholy circum stances :—lt appears that on Wednesday last Mr. Dickson, having returned home from Cavan, felt somewhat fatigued, and, after dinner, retired to bed. Mrs. Dickson being out visiting at the time, there was no person in the house but the servant maid, and a per4on named Eccles, a relative of Mrs. Dickson, who, unfortunately, is subject at intervals to fits of mental derangement. This person having entered the dining room, after Mr. Dickson had retired, and having partaken copiously of of a decanter of spirits, which lie found on the sideboard, commenced smashing the glasses. &c., when the servant maid, who, although well aware of the danger she incurred by interfering, came to the door and forbid him to act in such a manner, whereupon lie pursued her up stairs, whither she fled, to one of the bed-rooms, for refuge. On reaching the labby the maniac darted into Mr. Dick son's room, who was then in a profound sleep, alas! " a sleep that was to know no waking," and having seized a razor which lay upon the dressing-table, with one stroke of the deadly weapon completely cut th e t rac he a , by whi c h respira tion waslnstantaneously suspended, and the vital spark ex tinguished ! An inquest was held on the body on Thursday. when a verdict, in accordance with the foregoing circum stances, was returned.—Dublin paper. RIBBONISM.—On Monday last John Johnstone, Esq., . • our county inspector, and Charles Nl'Kelvy, Esq., sub-in spector of constabulaty, with a party under their command, and acting upon information they had previously received, entered the house of a person named Hanlon, residing in Monaghan, and in a room up stairs found seven persons seated round a table, in conclave, and upon searching them they discovered, in the watch pocket of one of the persons, named Hanlon, the son of the proprietor of the house, a paper, containing the "goods," that is, the signs and pass words of the Ribbon society, just issued for the present quar ter. The whole party were taken up, and on Tuesday they were fully committed for trial by the magistrates presiding at petty sessions. Three of the party had been admitted to bail, but the other four are yet in custody. Papers were found only on one of them, but this may be accounted for, as they had not time to get the ' goods' delivered to each until the police were upon them. The house was one of entertainment, but altbough they were sitting round the table they had no refreshment of any kind before them, and it is worthy of remark that they were all from different quarters of the country. One of them from the county Louth. one of them from the direction of Clones, one from that of Glasslough, another living near Baliybay, andlithe others from opposite directions, and all apparently strangers to each other, as if it were a meeting of delegates from se veral districts, assembled at one central point to devise new schemes of rebellion, and bring back to their several lodges the orders from head quarters. The ramification of this dan . gerous conspiracy is daily extending, supported as it now is by the extraordinary excitement which pervades society in Ireland, and aided by the facility of assembling _ and com munication afforded by the legal repeal meetings." —Beffast paper. FOREIGN 9- COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE' FRANCE The Paris papers, of Thursday and Friday, do not contain any thing of political importance. They publish, how ever, some particulars of a banquet given at Macon to M. de Lamartine, and a report of that distinguished deputy's very remarkable speech on the occasion, in which he exhorts the people to " endeavour to recal the Government to the principles which placed the present King on the throne; but that, should the Government persist obstinately in the course it has hitherto pursued, the peuple must not accompany them in it." The terms in which this unquestionably gifted per son conveyed his meaning are, however, either too poetical or too timid to be literally understood and translated ; we are, consequently, reduced to guess only at his meaning, and that appears to be, that "the present state of things may endure for, in all, fifteen years in France, or to the demise of the present Sovereign ;" but that "•the destinies of the country were never either in the hands of, or bound up with the fall or existence of any individual." " Napoleon, said he, significantly, "is dead. Powerful dynasties have passed away, yet France remains. It has never yet been confined to any man or to any power to carry with them the fortunes of France." According to the figurative reasoning of M. De Lamartine " the monarchy imagined and decreed in 1830. and which it was then understood was to be that of King Louis Plaillippe, was the work of reason and of necessity, —a monarchy not enveloped in the mysteries of English metaphysics, con cealing its origin in heaven (!), but the monarchy of broad daylight, examined by everybody, agreed to by everybody, belonging to everybody. Less than that would be the aucien regime —more than that would be the repubbe." He con cluded by giving as a toast—" The regular al d peaceable ac complishment of the destinies of democracy.' ' In a word, M. de Lamartine shows that thi two mons .shies tried by France since 1789—the military monarchy ot Na poleon and the divine-right monarchy of he reit aation, en, (lured for only fifteen years each; that tht pros .nt experiment (monarchy) has existed for now nearly eighteen years, and may be expected to expire in a couple more ; th.it then the existing monarchy having been, though a work of necessity, a masterpiece of reason, and having failed in its object, France should have no more to do with monarchieS of any kind or description. The Monitore of Saturday has the following : "The Prince de Joinville, on his arrival at Rio de Janeiro, d e manded of the Emperor of the Brazils, with the consent of the King his father, the hand of her Imperial highness the Princess Frances of Braganza, which was accorded to him. The marriage was to be celebrated at Rio de Janeiro on the Ist of May. The Prince de Joinville is now on his way back to France, in the frigate Belle Poole, with the. young Princess his bride. Their Royal Highnesses are expected in the course of next month." " The new daughter-in-law of the King of the French," says the Commerce," will shortly enter her 19th year. Her sister, Donna Maria, is Queen of Portugal, and her second and elder sister, Januaria, is presumptive heiress to the crown of the Brazils." " It would be curious to ascertain," adds one of our pri vate Tatters, " the precise amount of influence this coining e vent exercised over the mission of Mr. Ellis." One of the Paris Journals contains the particulars of a threatened affair of honour between M de la Roche Pouchin and Prince Napoleon. son of Jerome Bonaparte, which was fortunately prevented by the police. There is at present in the orangery of Versailles an orange tree planted by one of the female ancestors of Jeanne d'Albret. Its age is 432 years. It was brought to France in 1560, and was the first of the kind that was seen. Francis I. and Henry IV. kept it at Fontainebleau.—Galignani's Messenger. ARTESIAN WELLS.—We understand that it is intended to carry the bore for the Artesian well in the Garden of Plants to the depth of 800 or 900 metres, whereas that at Grenelle is only 550 metr e s deep. The object of piercing so low is to find water of a high temperature. The expectation of doing so is founded on observations made by M. Arago and M. Walferdin, at Grenelle, that the temperature of the water increased in warmth one degree at every 32 metres depth, and, - consequently, at that of 800 or 900 metres must be at 36 to 39 degrees centigrade (about from 97 to 104 Fahrenheit,) with which the hothouses of the equatorial plants, and also the lodges of the animals in the menagerie, and even the hos pitals in that quarter, may be warmed in winter.—Paris Tti E WEATHER IN FRANCE EXTRACT OE A LETTER PARIS, JUNE 8 This is Saint Mcdard ! (the St. Swithin of France), and it has rained incessantly all day, as it has done in fact for the forty days that have preceded it. Will you believe that the gloom which, had this been the 9th instead of the Sth of J a ne, would have been produced by a continuance of rain and cold, is considerably enhanced by the recollection that this is Saint Medard ? A. report prevails on the Bourse (of all places !) that the astronomers predict that a favourable change will take place on Saturday. Let us hope that this is something more than a mere stock-jobbing rumour, for the weather is the sole influence now felt at the Bourse, political excitement being for the moment in abeyance. Should the weather improve, we shall vet have a good har vest, but this is the critical moment. We have had much rain and a very cold temperature, but no material injury has yet occurred to the corn crops. The vintage will, however, in any case be a failure. You already know that irreparable mischief has been done to the vines of Bordeaux and of Bur gundy. The prospect in Champagne may be collected from the following passage in a letter I read yesterday, from an officer of thegi gim - ent of Artillery, now on its march from Paris to Met, and dated Chalons sur Marne a.• • " The vintage in this country will be the worst on record.

FALL OF A METEORIC STONE.—UIRECtIT, June 3. — Yesterday evening, about eight o'clock, a meteoric stone fell in the commune of Blaanwkapel, about a league from this city. After a violent expiosion, repeated three or four times, resembling a discharge of artillery, a whistling and howling noise was heard, which excited much anxiety and alarm among the villagers. The servant of a farmer, Jan Tennisse Borch, who was bringing some horses home from a field, saw, at a short distance, a heavy body fall to the ground with such violence that the sand was raised to a considerable in the air. Having procured a spade, he returned to the place, and found the stone at the depth of three feet in the stratum of sands which extended below th e c l a y, It we i g h e d seven pounds, is of a longish irregular shape, and covered with black crust, peculiar to those ewigratical bodies, wb; is broken off only in one place, where the,lnternal ter et the stone appears. y mat- TION w 3 O'clock, & JAMES June. 1843 She ca Goods Mar ,Inder their chaser the rx 3.

An anti-repeal meeting was held, on Friday, in the Court house of Hillsborough. The house was filled with pnd farmers. principally tenants on the re , ipectame , Downshire estate. There were also present a considerable number of neighbouring gentry. We observed on the bench the following, with others whose names we could not learn : The Venerable Archdeacon Mant, Col. Hawkshaw, Capt. Crosby, Henderson Black, Esq., J.P. ; James C. Anderson, Esq., J.P., Larchfield ; Rev. Mr. Dill, Dr. Muirbead. D. M'Lorn, Dsq., M.D. ; John Henderson, Esq., Revernett ; James Henderson, Esq., Millvale ; J. Sands, Esq., Rev. J. White, D. M. Magill, Esq., Rev. S. Crory, and James Shsw, Esq., &c. &e. The following resolutions were agreed to : " Resolved—That this meeting views with anxiety and alarm the progress of the present agitation for the Repeal of the Legislative Union between Great Britain and Ireland, as tending to disturb the peace of society, render life and pro perty insecure, and ultimately endanger the integrity and stability of her Majesty's dominions. " That as loyal subjects of our most gracious Queen, and deeply concerned for the peace and prosperity of this portion of her dominions, we are determined to ernnloy all lawful and constitutional means for the purpose of resisting the attempt to repeal the Union between this country and Great Britain, and in the several spheres which Providence has assigned us, to use our best efforts to put a stop to an agitation carried on by interested individuals for the dismemberment of the Empire. "That a loyal and dutiful address be prepared for presen tation to her Majesty. embodying the substance of the fore going ;resolutions, and that the Marquis of Downs:iire be requested to present the same."—Dublin paper. KILKENNY This demonstration came off on Thursday. A correspond ent of the Pilot of Friday thus describes it :—" The proces sion, consisting of the trades, with a numerous assemblage of horsemen and the people of the city, left this at twelve o'clock, and extended the entire road from the city to the stand-house, upwards of three long Irish miles. The assem blage at the race-course, when the meeting commenced, ex ceeded, on the lowest computation, 300,000 persons. P. S. Butler, Esq., took the chair." The meeting was addressed by the liberator, Mr. Steele, and 13 other gentlemen. The procession returned in the same order as in going out, and did not reached the city until nearly seven o'clock. Six hun dred tickets have been sold for the banquet, which takes place this evening at the Black Abbey. Mr. O'Connell suggested that in future no green boughs should be carried at repeal processions. . . . . Mr. O'Connell was-received with the most enthusiastic and deafening shouts of applause. When silence was re stored, the hon. and learned gentleman proceeded as follows : —ls there a band within hearing? If there be, let them play up " God save the Queen." (More than a dozen bands here played up the national anthem, the entire vast multitude re maining uncovered. At the termination of the air three hearty and deafening cheers were given for the Queen.) I will now give you another subject to cheer—three cheers for the Queen's army—the bravest army in the world. (Tre mendous cheers.) Three cheers for the Irish people—the most moral, the most brave, the most temperate, and the most religious people on the face of the earth. (Great and continued cheering.) And now, having gone through these heartfelt ceremonies, I present myself before you to address you on topics of the highest interest. It has never happened to me to behold a more gorgeous assemblage of human beings than that now before me. 1 have never seen anything to trans cend it, though I have seen some sights equal in importance and in moral dignity. I have before me more physical force than any military commander that ever_ existed, and I have that physical force perfectly cognizant of this fact, that they could not do anything that would be such great injury to the cause of repeal as committing the slightest breach of the peace. (Cries of "Never fear.") Somebody says " Never fear." Why, I am afraid of nothing except being wrong ; for as long as I am right I fear nothing, and I think 1 have plenty here to join me in being right. and to join me, too, in fearing nothing. (Great cheering.) No, the only thing I could ap prehend would be any species of a breach of the law. There never yet was any country presented the same moral specta cle as Ireland, or where the people were so determined to carry the restoration of their national independence by con stitutional means. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) I promise you the repeal of the union. (Tremendous applause.) I repeat it, I am able to promise the repeal to you speedily and rapidly; and it is more near to us than even the most sanguine imagine. (Renewed cheers.) I suppose you have heard of the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel having come down to parliament one tine evening, and &elated that they would prevent the repeal of the union even at the expense of a civil war, We wiil not go to war with them, but let them_ - not dare to go to war with u (Tu.:Mentions come minutes.) We will act lieve me, men of Kilkenny, there is no power in Europe that would .dare attack you and the people of Ireland, when they keep themselves in the right and act on the defensive only. (Hear, hear.) They threatened us with this civil warfare, but we only laughed at them, and you are at 'liberty to laugh at them again. (Cheers and laugh ter.) I hurled back my indignant defiance to them from the Repeal Association, and told them what I now tell you, that we never would violate the law, or commit any violence, but that we have hands enough to defend our own heads, if they dared to attack us. (Great cheers.) What was the conse quence? The great Duke cf Wellington and the crafty Sir R. Peel pulled in their horns a little, and they said they did not mean to attack us. (Hear, hear.) Very well. There is peace then, for we will not attack them, and they will not attack us. (Laughter.) But they have sent over 36,000 artillery, cavalry, infantry, and marines here, and I am very glad of it, for they will spend 36,000 shillings every day while they. remain in the country. (Cheers.) It would be a kind of little repeal of the union in itself. ( A laugh.) As to the araiv, it has been always on the best terms with the people. In the \Vhiteboy times the people never showed the slightest animosity to the soldiers, who did no more than their duty, though they disliked the police, and small blame to them. The Queen's army is the best in the world, and the class of sergeants that it cont a in s i s th e mos t educated in exist ence , an d I trust that the day will come when all the sergeants will be in a fair way of becoming come missioned officers. (" Hear, hear," and loud cheers.) I will tell you a secret, and mind you promise me to keep it—(a laugh)—it is temperance that will give us'the repeal. (Cheers.) Temperance will give it to us, for I can now trust in every one of yoti, as I am not afraid that any drunken vagabOnd will get into a riot, or that a drunkard will, in his haughti ness, refuse to obey my commands. (Cheers.) 1 have you disciplined by tetnperance,and I defy your enemies. (Cheers.) Irishmen, your country shall not be enslaved. The repeal of the union is approaching ! . From this spot I proclaim to you liberty and prosperity to old Ireland. (Loud and continued cheers.) cheering, which continued for on the defensive; and Several other gentlemen spoke, and in the evening the liberator spoke at a banquet given him. REPEAL IN ENNIS.—Tbe repeal demonstration in Ennis will take place on Thursday and it is expected to be the greatest display of strength that has taken place. With res pect to the progress of actual organization of the masses, the Galway Standard states that, " there is not a town, there is not a village, in this hitherto peaceable country, whose inhabi tants are not well organized—ready for any event. They have their daily, their nocturnal meetings ; their proceedings are secret, and the deluded peasantry have so much confi dence in demagogues, that at a day's notice they would, if •called upon, take up arms against the Queen's troops. They are well drilled, and have their inferior and superior officers, and yet there is no part of Ireland left more at the mercy of the disaffected of Galway. We must call on the Govern ment emphatically for a sufficient protective naval and mili tary force." EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM THE COUNTY CORE : " The repeal agitation has some influence here—the minds of the people are much excited by the expectation of a great change. Last Sunday we had a Cork temperance band in full military costume, with a large party of teetotallers; they were, however, very orderly ; still the military character of the proceeding may have a bad tendency in laying the foun dation of a regular system of organisation and military training. The parish priest here has declined to advise the people for or against repeal. He stated that his opinion was that it would be injurious even if carried, but he thought it would never be granted ; and he then told the people that he wouhl leave them to act as they pleased; that possibly some few beneficial measures might he extorted from the ministry by the stir. So far as I can judge from hear ing the sentiments of the people in this quarter, I don't think a rebellion is anticipated. The fact is the whole business is got up and managed by the priesthood for the as cendancy of the Romish religion. They had too nearly suc ceeded with the Whigs in annihilating the Church of England in this country to despair of success ; and I am afraid from the tone of Lord John Russel, Lord Listuwel, &c., and the expediency principle of our Prime Minister, that sooner or later the Church will be sacrificed—perhaps not in lobo, at once, but by gradual compromises as heretofore.

MEETING OF KING'S COUNTY MAGISTRATES There was a very numerous meeting of the magistrates of the King's county held at Parsonstown on Tuesday, convened by the Earl of Rosse, to consider the measures proper to be adopted in consequence of the recent murder of Mr. John Gatchell, a magistrate of the county. The noble Earl was furnished with a copy of the Arms Bill, which lie had read for the meeting, and which was unanimously approved. A committee was formed to watch over the new registry of fire arms, and to prevent in every way arms getting into the hands of the peasantry. Resolutions and subscriptions were entered into to co-operate with and assist Government in the protection of witnesses. It was deemed unnecessary to enter into the subject of reward for the apprehension of the mgr. derers, there being already persons committed to abide their trials for the crime. H is Lordship put down his name for £lOO, and before the meeting separated £4OO was subscribed. Among the resolutions agreed to are the follwing " `tie deeply regret that another crime, and that of the most heinous character, should have disgraced this country, and that we should thus be constrained to relinquish the sanguine hope of restored tranquility, which was grounded, not on the solid basis of the law re-asserting its rights in the but on that very questionable evi !ssation of outrage in its worst form and fa.ther,' we may ado , that in the iiiimerous outrages. connected with the robbery of arin r s;'eitending period, we know of no instance where the i nma te s of a soli tary thatched cottage actually made over a long use of their fire-arms in a successful resistance to an armed banditti." conviction of tt deuce, t e comparative cc during the last two '" On a former occasion we ventured to express an opinion that because the assassin bad, in every instance, been pro. vided with arms in an efficient state, the presumption was, that these arms bad not been concealed, that they had not been kept in a dry place, openly, and perhaps, even had been registered. On that occasion we strongly pressed upon the government the urgent necessity of a more efficient arms' act; and, although differing on general political subjects, in this we acted unanimously. We do not see that an efficient registration of arms can act injuriously to any one; neither do we see how any real objection can be made to an enact ment which would require that all fire-arms should he branded ; such a measure would act as a security against theft, precisely as the marking of any other description of property, while it would afford very valuable security against the application of tire-arms to improper purposes.

Mr. O'Hea attended as counsel, and Mr. Croker as agent, for the next of kin to Peter Agnew, deceased; and Mr. Gibson appeared for Mr. Wilcocks, A.M., and the police. A jury, composed of six Protestant s and thirteen Roman Catholics, was sworn, and several witnesses who had taken part in the riot were examined, their evidence going clearly to prove the dangerous position of the police, and the fury of the mob, when the order to fire was given. The evidence on the behalf of the next of kin having terminated, Mr. Gibson tendered the evidence of Mr. Barry and the police, but they were objected to by Mr. O'llea, and after some argument Mr. Gibson stated, that as the investi gation had been conducted with so much good taste and feeling by Mr. O'H ea, he (Mr. Gibson) would not press their evidence, as Mr. O'l - lea had stated it would not be satisfac tory to the people. Mr. Gibson then tendered the evidence of a policeman who had not fired a shot, but whose mouth had been badly cut, and several of his teeth, nearly knocked out by a stone; this was also objected to by Mr. O'Hea, but he would not object to evidence of the nature of the wound. Doctor M'Effer was then examined, and proved that the policeman's teeth and gums were considerably injured. The jury soon after retired, and in half an hour returned the following verdict : We find that Peter Agnew came to his death on the 6th of June inst.', at Maheracloone chapel, in the parish of Maher acloone, by a gun-shot wound received from a party of the constabulary commanded by Mr. Wilcocks, stipendiary ma gistrate, and Mr. Barry, sub-inspector, firing on a body of people assembled about the said chapel on that day, and that it has not been sufficiently proved to us that at the time of the firing the party of constabulary were in imminent risk of their lives, and that we have no proof who fired the identical shot which caused his death. The verdict is tantamount to an acquittal, as the evidence shows that the opposition was of such a nature as to justify the magistrate in tiring for the purpose of dispersing the rioters and forcing . a passage along the road, though the life of the party was not in imminent danger. A troop of the 3d dragoon guards, and a company of rifles, have arrived in Carrickthacross, and tranquility has been restored. ATTACK ON THE POLICE.—Sub-Inspector Fitzsimon, and his party were severely inaltreated at the fair of Molahiffe, Kerry, and one policeman got his head fractured. Magis trates were previously called on to attend the fair, biit de clined.—Lirnerick Chronicle. ACCIDENT AT KILCULLEN.—TWO men, named Keogh, were drowned, on Wednesday, about half a mile below the bridge of this town. They, i❑ company with three others, were washing sheep, the property of Mr. Burchell, of Browns town. They were both young, and have left families. Another man was drowned here a few day , s since.—Dublin paper. THE DEFAULTING CORPORATION TREASURER.—By let ters received from Mr. Ross Cox, it would appear that he is on the " trail" of Mr. Finn, the defaulting treasurer to the corporation. On the 21st of May Mr. Cox left New York 'for Pennsylvania, next for Baltimore, and was on the 29th of May in Philadelphia, whence he was to start on the next day for Ohio.—Dublin paper. ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER—A STEAMER SUNK.—AS the steam-tug, Adelaide, belonging. to Messrs. Streaker, was pro ceeding, on Wednesday, to the Kish Light, towing a small lighter with stores, she was discovered to have sprung a leak, from some cause not ascertained. She was immediately put back to the North-wall, and just as all the stores on board were landed on the quay, the vessel sunk, and remains in that position at present.—Dublin paper. Lord Roden has addressed a letter to the editor of the Dublin Mail on the duty of the Irish Protestants at the pre sent crisis, in which he dissuades them from all processions and assemblies of large bodies, to which many of them were inclined to have recourse. From the former he advises them to abstain in consequence of their having been declared ille gal, and from the latter because his lordship considers them superfluous and unwise. COMMUNICATION WITH IRELAND.—The Government has appointed Captains Sir G. Back and R. Fair, R.N. to sur vey the harbours of Holyh ea d an d P or thdi n ll aen, and report on their capacities as packet stations. They left this place for Porthdinllaen, by land, on Tuesday last, and will return before the end of the week. An order has been received for one of the packets on this station to be at their service to go on with the survey at both places.—Carnarvon Herald. MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK AND LOSS OF LIFE.—The Dublin Mercantile Advertiser gives the following letter re ceived from a correspondent at Drunmore Eat, county Wa terford, under date of yesterday :—" Since I wrote last evening we have witnessed a very melancholy scene. A large American barque, laden with cotton, has been wrecked at Browston Head. There were 16 hands on board, and only one saved out of the whole. The gale has not decrea sed, only tends a little more to the west." HORRIBLE CIRCUMSTANCE:—Mr. Brereton, who resides near Nentigh, directed two of his men, one of them an Orangeman, to watch his plantations on Wednesday night with fire arms, suspecting that some persons might have re course to them for green boughs to adorn their lI .uses at the approach of Mr. O'Connell yesterday into Nenagh. Horri ble to relate the Orange watchman having, it is supposed, mistaken his fellow watchman for one of the people, fired at him, shattering his abdomen almost to pieces. On last even ing the unhappy victim was not expected to survive many hours.—Limerick Reporter. MURDER, AND DEATH OF THE MURDERER.—An atro cious murder was committed on Tuesday morning, at Willow Hill, about three miles beyond Carrigaline. The victim was a woman named Buckley, between 30 and 40 years of age, the mother of two children, and within a couple of months of being again confined—the murderer was her brother-in• law, Thomas Buckley. He lived in the same house, and going out and finding a cock belonging to Mrs. Buckley fighting with one which had belon ge d t o hi s mother, who is dead, he struck the former, which a son of Mrs. Buckley (a boy about 12 years old) observing, the little fellow called out, " Oh, mother, he'll kill the cock." " Come in," ex claimed the mother, "or he'll serve you in the same way." Buckley, hearing this, made a rush at the boy, who, how ever, escaped into the house. Buckley followed, and pro ceeding to the room in which he was in the habit of sleeping, he returned to the kitchen with a griffaun. Seating himself on the table, he watched until his sister-in-law stooped down to do something to the fire, on which potatoes were boiling for breakfast, and then struck her on the side of the head with the " griffaun." The child, we understand, says that he gave her six blows. The skull was fractured behind the ear, 'the - face greatly lacerated under one of the eyes, and the cheek laid open. Buckley immediately made off, but in formation having been conveyed to the Ballyfeard station, Sub-constable Moloney, with two other active policemen (Coghlan and Pigott) went in pursuit, and, after searching the plantations at Hoddersfield, fell in with his coat and shoes. From this they concluded that he• had swam across, but soon after they met some fishermen who had found the body floating near the little cottage so well known to " pic nickers," and not far from the spot where lie had left the shoes and coat. When the policemen saw it life was extinct. The women died the tollowing day.—Cork paper. • - - PROFFERED ASSASSINATION. —In the course of Wednes day evening the greatest bustle was observed in and about the neighbourhood of the court, in consequence, as it was understood, of communication having been made from the authorities at the Home-office to Mr. Twyford, in the absence of Mr. Hall, the chief magistrate, for issuing a warrant for the apprehension of a man of the name of Mayne, who, from the accounts which our reporter was enabled to collect, had written a letter to Sir James Graham, offering, for a certain reward, to assassinate Mr. O'Connell. Mr. Twyford, in the absence of Mr. Hall, was occupied during the whole of the night upon the subject, and between four and five o'clock on Thursday morning he went away in a cab, and on his return, about eight o'clock, being met by other persons connected with the Government, they remained in consultation some time, but the entire proceedings were conducted with so much secrecy that the result of their deliberations has not been allowed to transpire, and we were unable to learn whether any person had been taken into custody.—Times.—The fol lowing further particulars of this case, about which so much mystery has been made have appeared.—On Monday morn ing Sir J. Graham received a letter directed to the right hon. baronet's private residence in Hill-street, apparently written in a rambling, incoherent manner, in which the writer, ob serving upon what he terms " the treachery of Mr. O'Con nell," proceeds to say " that he would undertake, as he might be advised, to risk his own life against that of Mr. O'Connell's" On the prisoner being informed by Mr. Hall of the nature of the charge against him, the evidence of Sir James Graham read over, and being shown the latter, he im mediately, and without the least hesitation, admitted that he was the author; and on being asked what could have induced him to take such an extraordinary step, he repled that the night before he had been dining with a party of friends, and had taken too much wine—that he certainly wrote the letter, and posted it by mistake, having other letters in his pocket— that he became immediately after war d s sens ibl e o f t h e ex treme folly w hi c h he had been guilty of, and acquainted his friends of the act, and asked them if it would not be bet ter to send another letter to Sir James Graham in explana tion—but they looked upon the epistle as being so ridiculous that they thought no public notice would be taken of it, and therefore he did not do so. He now exceedingly regretted what he had done, and hoped that the contrition on his part would be favourably considered. After consideration, Mr. Hall told the prisoner that the charge against him was one of a most serious and important character, and that no minis ter of state could have passed it by without public notice. It had, however, been determined to admit him to bail, himself in the sum of zeloo, and two sureties in the sums of £2OO each, to appear at the next July Sessions of the Central Criminal Court, to answer any charge that might be preferred against him. The prisoner then gave in the names of Mr. Jones, a shipowner at Gloucester, and a gentleman named Watkins, as his bail, who it was understood, were in Lon don, but they had not arrived at the Home Office when our report was sent off; consequently, the prisoner at present renirins in custody. The prisoner has been deprived of his situation for his indiscretion. FRENCH SYMPATHY FOR IRELAND PARIS, JUNE 5, 1843.—0ne of the cleverest things lately done by the French for keeping up the population of Algeria, and which is nothing more nor less than " Bucking " on a grand scale, has just been perpetrated. Perhaps the publi cation of this letter may save the lives of other hundreds or thousands of our poor countrymen, whose poverty and whose industry lead them to accept employment, no matter how laborious or how dangerous, You may remember that towards the finish of the works on the Rouen Railroad considerable numbers of Irish labour ers were imported by the contractors from England to enable them to complete the undertaking within the prescribed period. The job over, the poor fellows were, of course, left to shift for themselves, which (voluntary immigration from France being at an end) presented to this wide-awake govern ment a capital opportunity for supplying the vacuum hourly occasioned by fell disease in the European population of Al geria. Crimps were employed, and with so much success, that already 200 of those poor men—all Irish, let me ob serve—have been carried off to Algiers, where they are sure to be carried off for the last time, in a few weeks, by another This experiment is about to be repeated on an immense scale. Will your government sanction it? Or is there any law or any reason to oppose to it? These questions I leave to you to answer, adding only that I pledge infself for the correctness of my statement. RAILWAY TRAFFIC.—The following is a calculation of the last weekly returns of 43 railways, 1,561 miles in length. Number of passengers on 28 railways, 372,526, consequently the total for the week must be above 500,000.

The traffic, pavimituotavp profttbirillis HOUSE OF LORDS.—FuTpAy. In the House of Lords last night the Lord CHANCELLOR laid upon the table a letter from the Governor-General of India, acknowledging the thanks of the house for his services in India. The Earl of ABERDEEN postponed until Tuesday his bill respecting the Church o f Scotland. Lord BROUGHAM postponed the second reading of the Slavery Bill until Monday week. The Lord CHANCELLOR communicated to their lordships a message from her Majesty assenting to the nuptials of the Princess Augn-ta of Cambridge with the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Strelitz, and relying upon Parliament to make suitable provision for his royal highness. In answer to so m e remar k s of the Marquis of CLANIU- CARDE D The Duke of WELLINGTON said that the government had received the written opinion of the Lord Chancellor of Ire land to the effect that the meetings held in Ireland for the purpose of obtaining a repeal of the union had a tendency to outrage, and might be dangerous to the public peace, and that therefore it was not proper to confide in those magis trates who attended those meetings. There could be no ob jection to public meetings to repeal any act of Parliiiment, but it was obvions that meetings such as those held for ti ,e purpose of repealing the union might result in bloodshed, and should, therefore, be discouraged. Earl . FOKTESCUI explained that on a former occasion he bad said, while Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, thdt he would confer Government patronage or honours on no persons as sisting in the agitation for a repeal of the union. This, how ever, was very different from depriving persons of honours and appointme n t s already con f erre d. Lord BROUGHAM contended that those meetings were illegal, inasmuch as they were called, not for the purpose of discussion, but with a view to intimidate by a demonstration of physical force. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY. In the House of Commons last night Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented a petition from Cooper and other chartists, com plaining of the treatment they received in Stafford gaol. The hon. member asked if the detenti on o f th e p e titi on by th e gaoler or magistrates for a period of fifteen days was a breach of privilege? The SPEAKER said he did not consider it a breach of pri vilege, but it was decidedly an improper interference with the right of the subject to petition. Mr. HUME gave notice be would on the next open day ninve that the payment of a pension to an independent foreign sovereign was unjust, and that the pension of £21,000 to the King of Hanover should be discontinued. Sir J. GRAHAM, in answer to a question from Sir A. L. Hay, said it was his intention during the present session to move for leave to bring in a bill giving additional facilities for the endowment of quoad sacra ministers in Scotland, but he did not propose to ask for any grant of public money for that purpose. . . Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to a question from Dr. Bow ring, said that the government was direcl!ng its attention to the anomalous position in which British merchants were placed in their commercial transactions with Turkey. Sir R. PEEL brought down a message from her Majesty, assenting to the marriage of the Princess Augusta of Cam bridge with the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Strelitz, and hoping that the house would enable her Majesty to make suitable provision for her royal highness. Sir J. GRAHAM, in reply to a question from Mr. Ewart, said he did not think it fair to extort from members of the government their opinion as to the legality or illegality Of the meetings now being held in Ireland, but he would say that in Ireland, but he would say that in considering the question of illegality, numbers formed a considerable ingredient by which to form a jtldgment. In reply to a question from Mr. R. YORKE, Sir J. GRAHAM said he did not contemplate any large mo dification of the p oor l aw, b ut h e would, on an early day, bring forward his bill for its amendment. The Canadian Wheat and Flour Bill went through com mittee after a short discussion, and the report was ordered to be received on Monday. Lord ELLIOT then moved the committee on the Irish Poor Law Bill, upon which Mr. REDINGTON moved, as an amendment, that the bill should be referred to a select committee. He had originally supported the Irish poor law, but experience of its practical operation convinced him that the whole system required re vision. Lord ELLIOT declined assenting to the proposition, as it would open up the abstract question as to whether there should be a poor law at all—a matter which he conceived to be settled. There was no desire to treat the subject as a party question, and any suitable amendments would no doubt be adopted in committee. After 'some conversation, Mr. REDINGTON withdrew his amendment, and the house went into committee on the bill. The first three clauses were agreed to with some amend ments ; after which the house resumed, and the chairman reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. TO CORRESPONDENTS " H K " could scarcely expect us to insert his doggrel. We will look over the papers forwarded by "A Constant Reader." We cannot fathom the meaning of " Free Trader." There is not a single copy of the STANDARD of 26th May remaining. STATE OF TRADE MANCHESTER, SATURDAT.—This being a holiday week, very little regular business may be said to be done in the warehouses ; but the calico printers have been mnking con tracts with the manufacturers to deliver for the autumn, for stocks of printing cloths are too iight to admit them to get the quantity they require. The commercial news from the east is very favourable, for their stocks are light, and prices are advancing, so after this week we feel sure shippers will operate freely, and we doubt not but we shall have a steady trade for some time to come. It gives us great pleasure, also, to know that the block printers are much better off, and can get work readily ; for what with delaines being so much in request, and good prints preparing for the next season, block printers are rather scarce in some districts. 27• inch 66's may be quoted at 4s. 6d. to 4s. and 72's at 4s. 104 d. to ss. 3d. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had considerably less business doing to,day, than on the preceding three Mondays. This is partly attributed to the manufacturers standing out for an advance of price, which they have failed in obtaining. The wool market has been extremely dull, very few sales having been effected at any price. .. BOLTON.—The trade here has rather deadened during the last fortni L ; manufacturers of counterpanes complaining that they cannot realize any profits, and the weavers are again beginning to be stinted in their work. Power-loom cloths have fallen exceedingly in demand during the last few days. For muslius and fine goods there is a favourable re action, and a lair business doing in them. The trade in cotton yarns seems dull, for although the market has not altogether lost its improved state, yet it has become much less animated. Founderies continue moderately bi ink. Bleach works are less throng than they have been for a few months past. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have nothing cheering to report this week. All parties are complaining, in conse quence of so little business having been doing. LEEDS, SATURDAY AND TUESDAY.—Both markets have been much the same as we reported last week. Saturday's market was what we now begin to call a "fair market." Tuesday's exceedingly bad. Business has been quiet in the warehouses. The almost entire absence of American buyers is much felt : their trade came in very seasonable, at this period of the year—the transition of the seasons in our home trade. BRADFORD, THURSDAY. — Wool Market. There has been but little doing in wools since our last report, and the quantity in the stapler's hands is fully an average for the time of the year. In prices no alteration. Noils and brokes continue in steady request, and late prices fully maintained. Yarn Market.—The demands for yarns continues, and prices may be fairly quoted a shade higher than some weeks past. Piece Market.—There is nothing doing to-day to call for re mark ; it being the Whitsuntide holyday, less goods have been made, and as the makers are generally working to order, there is hardly so many pieces delivered to merchants as there has been during several weeks past. Prices are very steady. LEICESTER.—There has been some improvement during the week, and some more shipping orders have been received. Prices remain firm, and upon some sorts of yarn there has been a slight advance; indeed, the spinners consider their prospects as more encouragir b , than they have been fo r some years past, since th e y are not likely for the future to be sub jected to the same unfair competition as that against whi c h they had to cont en d till M essrs. Cl ar k e, Mitchell and Co.'s bank stopped payment—a competition which was ruinous, not only to the spinners, but to the hosiers themselves, and. more especially so, it is feared, to the poor bank depositors. A number of the glove hands are out of employment. POTATO TRADE.—Potatoes have been generally advancing in price for upwards of a month, and notwithstanding the great proportion are effected by dry rot, now bring from 9s. to 10s. a boll—a rise of fully 30 per cent. upon the average of the previous season. The London market will hardly justify such prices, but as small quantities are daily wanted here to complete car. oes, a higher rate is easily obtained by the holders.—Perth Paper. HOP INTELLIGENCE.—WORCESTER, JUNE 7. -- There was less business done, and prices were 5s to 6s per cwt. lower than the week before, but there were very few hops to be met with at that reduction, holders being generally firm, and con fident in the present prices. The reports from the hop dis tricts are anything but favourable, the fly having now become very general throughout the plantation. The bine is also very weak and backward, and notwithstanding the late warm rains, has made but little progress. Duty called £12,000. Weighed ou Saturday 202 pockets, during the week 97. IMPORTANT CHANGE IN THE LAW.-Mr. Cottingbarn, the Union-hall magistrate, has declared thst be never will punish any man who was present at the battle of Waterloo for . any offenc e s h or t o f f e l ony. An immense number of acts of parliament are annulled by this important resolution. People talk of the otnnipotency of parliament, but mark the otnnipotency of a magistrate, who, with a sic volo sic jubeo, sets aside the laws of the legislature and of the land in favour of a particular class of persons. It is possible that Sir James Graham may inquire by what right or authority Mr. Cotting_ ham promises impunity to Waterloo men for all misde meanour, breaches of the peace, assaults, &c. The old fashioned notion was, that magistrates were bound to ad minister the law without favour or prejudice, but Mr. Cottingharn proclaims his rule of partiality.—Examine r . LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS.—A case (Bush v. Brettle) was heard at the Bail Court, in the course of the past week, to recover from the directors of the Patent Rolling and Com pressing Iron Company a balance, laid at £320, alleged to be due by the company to the plaintiff for work and labour as an engi neer , as we ll as f or ot h er persona l services; which was resisted, principally upon the ground that the services in question, whatever may have been their extent or value, were chiefly rendered, not to the company, who were sued as such in the action, but to other persons, who had the ma nagement of the affairs before the company was formed ; and that, even if the company were liable, the plaintiff had been more than paid for his services. The jury adopted this de fence to some extent, but found that the money paid to the plaintiff left uncovered a small extent of 43 and some shil lings, and they accordingly found a verdict in his favour to that extent. THE DEALERS IN " DEVIL'S DUST.”—The Morning Post elves, for the attention of consumers whose interests alone it seems the policy of the day to consult, the followit.g acute and veracious observation. And if it be asked by what the effect is produced, we say point blank that it is by that swindling system of Free Trade (so called) in certain Manu factures, by which the said consumer cheats the labourer of his hire, while the Devil's Dust man, a cleverer baud still, stands in the back ground and cheats hire.—" Within the last fifty years all the mechanical appliances used in our ma nufactures have been improved incalculably —BUT OUR MA NUFACTURES THEMSELVES HAVE NOT IMPROVED. The steam-engines—the spinning jennies —the '' mules"—the " Levcises"—all the machinery now employed in the busi ness of mannfacturing production is incomparably better than the machinery employed towards the close of the last century. Our mechanicians, however, are not cotton, nor woollen, nor silk manufacturers; and while our mecha• nacians and chemists have dazzled the world with their dis coveries, the manufacturers, to whose schemes of production our chemists and mechanicians minister, minister, in turn, less effectively than before to the necessities of their fellow men. Our agriculturists supply better grain, and far better beef and mutton, than the agriculturists of England supplied fifty years ago ' • but our manufacturers of cott on , o f woo ll e n, and of silk goods supply the world with articles far inferior in quality t o t h ose which were suppliedto the last g. neration., Etherpool &tanbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 13, 1843 We have before us the Britannia, and Monte Video Reporter, of the 11th March,--a paper printed in English at Monte Video, the capital of Uraguay,— from which, and from subsequent information received from the same quarter, vid New York, by the Great Western, we learn with regret, that, from the vacil lated and indecisive, if not absolutely faithless, policy of Mr. Mandeville, her Majesty's Plenipotentiary to the Argentine Confederation, the interests, the pro perty, and perhaps the very lives, of the British sub jects resident in that city, had been (and may still be) placed in imminent peril. It appears that our minis ter, blinded by the representations of the Buenos Ayrean Government that the accounts of the invasions and barbarous aggressions of General Rosas on the Monte Videan territory were mere fabrications, and crediting, too, Rosa's assertions that he directed the war against the person only of General Rivera,—had, after repeated and unequivocal assurances to the Bri tish residents that her Majesty's Government (which had just concluded a treaty of amity and commerce with the republic) would put an end to the sanguinary and destructive war carried on by that chief against Monte Video, passively, and without calling upon our naval fOrces there stationed, permitted the aggressor to approach the very walls of the city, to expose under them the mutilated corpses of those who had fallen into his hands, and even to fire shot and rockets into the town, " not directed against the fortifications occu pied by Rivera's soldiers, but on the dwellings of the pacific inhabitants, amongst whom . a great majority were foreigners, and a considerable number his own fellow -countrymen." At the date of the paper alluded to, Mr. Mandeville had arrived at Monte Video from Buenos Ayres, in order to be present at the ratification of the new treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation, concluded in London between our Government and the Monte Videan Republic ; and the British subjects resident in the capital had publicly met and drawn up a representation to him on the " murderous warfare" carried on against the country by Rosas, and another to the Commander-in-Chief of our naval forces on the South American station. These documents (which we subjoin) were most numerously signed, though some residents declined to do so, " lest they might suffer in their property, over which the enemy had then control, or in the persons of their immediate connections, residing at Buenos Ayres" : " To HIS EXCELLENCY JOHN HENRY:MANDEVILLE, HER MAJESTY'S ENVOY EXTRAORDINARY AND MINISTER P LENIPOTENTIARY, &C. &C. &C, " The undersigned British subjects, residing in the Capital of the Oriental Republic of the Uruguay, come before your Excellency to represent,— " Ist. That when your Excellency visited this city in the month of July of last year, and on the conclusion of a treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation between her Britannic Majesty and this Republic, a confident belief was raised in the public mind that her Majesty's Government would speedily adopt measures to put an end to the disastrous and sanguinary war carried on by Buenos Ayres against the Republic; which belief arose partly from the circumstance of that treaty having been concluded, and especially, from assurances given by your Excellency to several of the British merchants here resident, that no invasion of this country by the armies of Buenos Ayres would take place. " 2nd. That, subsequently, other British merchants, largely interested, commercially, in the welfare of this coun try, and in the attainment of peace, which has been so ear nestly desired by •its Government, have perused the official correspondence carried on with your Excellency, and have reposed their confidence on the strong assurances therein advanced by your Excellency, that the mediation of her Majesty's Government would lead to preserve the inviola bility of this Republic. " 3rd. That the publication, in the official Gazette of Buenos Ayres, of the correspondence which had passed between your Excellency and that Government relative to the mediation, having made us acquainted with the insulting manner in which the laudable efforts of her Majesty's Go vernment were opposed, and also that your Excellency had intimated to the Buenos Ayres Government that further measures would be taken by that of her Majesty in order to procure the pacific navigation of the waters of the River Plate, whereby our confidence was confirmed in the security of this country from the threatened hostilities. " 4th. That, it having been further made known to us, that your Excellency had been officially ihforiried of the resolve of her Majesty's Government to put an end to the war, and that your Excellency was empowered to demand a cessation of hostilities between the Argentine Republic and that of the Uruguay, and also the witbdraNN al of the Argen tine troops into their territories should they have passed their own frontier, upon the understanding that the Government of the Republic of the Uruguay adhered to the same line of conduct under the same circumstances ; whereupon your Excellency addressed a note to the Buenos Ayrean Govern ment, dated the 16th of December, demanding an armistice and the return of the Argentine troops within their territory the confidence before raised was strengthened into certainty that the period had then arrived when effective measures would be instantly put in force, to carry out those expressed determinations of her Majesty's Government. " sth. That, notwithstandin g all these hopes and expecta tions, which from time to time have been raised up, as already stated, we have the painful and grievous evidence before us that the interference and the positive demand of her Ma jesty's government that hostilities must cease, have been to tally disregarded Illy General Rosas, and that this State has subsequently been invaded by his armies, which in their march through its territories have committed the most bar barous atrocities, and are now laying siege to this capital. " 6th. That this invasion has already caused a vast de struction of British property, which loss to British subjects has been greatly increased in amount in consequence of the natural and implicit dependence placed on the various assu rances given by Your Excellency, and that the continuation of the actual state of things is daily producing the most ru inous effects, and must lead to severe distress and suffering among our fellow countrymen and others. • "'ith. That, paramount to every consideration of loss and endangered interests is the deep sense of shame and grief w ith which we contemplate the disgrace attaching to our na tional honour, under such circumstances, after such a decla ration as that made by Your Excellency already referred to, whilst an adequate British naval force is present, and the acts of the Buenos Ayrean government are a flagrant insult offered to the British nation. " We, therefore, most earnestly and most respectfully so licit; that Your Excellency will forthwith concert measures cr glowo foroto now b in thh: port, to render elfeetnat to their full e ltSt , g t enevolent intentions of her Majesty's government OPre—ehe hav e t . throughout the pending ne,ociztions, and therehY satisfaction of fulfilling the first and highet duty of spri t % mgoivneisrtnemr,etnhtaatnodf the e h tl o o l n d o ir u ig r tohfeougroocdoufnatirti;.or her ‘ lajesti - •. onnigml , ",Monte Video, 91h March. 1843." (Here follow the signatures•) Ofi gr,FirgiA OTTfErbit The largely increased and most respectable circulation which the 7uesday's Edition of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD has now obtained amongst the mercantile body in Manchester affords its proprietors the gratify ing power of urging this, amongst the other undeniable claims which it possesses, upon the favor of that portion of the mercantile community of Liverpool who desire to bring their advertisements before the notice of buyers in the neighbouring manufacturing districts. In most of the surrounding towns of Lancashire the circulation of the STANDARD is steadily increasing. In Manchester, however, the centre of the manufacturing district, our publication of Tuesday—occurring upon the most im portant market day of the Cotton Trade, when its Exchange and Hotels are thronged with country manu facturers, spinners, and calico printers—is firmly es tablished in circulation, and is perused with increased and increasing interest. Under these encouraging circumstances, we trust to receive an increased measure of support from the mer chants and brokers of the town generally ; and it affords us great pleasure to assure those of our friends amongst those classes, who have hitherto bestowed their adver tising favours liberally upon us, of our increased ability to do justice to the interests committed to their care.
