R.ED I Ulan- l'•s` have n bnrb, to the Arincr al particulars ?NON an Impar Papist party e a ►ted war On the other har xhorn t of Ben addi Telegraph, g I read in your truly Protestant journal of the 3rd inst., ter from a correspondent. proposing to give a detailed account of the meeting of Protestants in Dungannon ' on Tuesday last, the 30th u lt., to res i st the schemes of the repealers. I was truly sorry to read such a letter in the Telegraph; and I am much afraid that unless you are well aware of who your correspondent' is, that he has deceived you, for I can say, and say from my own personal know ledge, having been an eye-witness of all that he has attempted not snch as be has stated them to be ances of the case are " The truth is, that instead of eighteen, as he says, there were only nine or ten, certainly less than twelve, who were walking quietly into Dungannon ; they were playing no party tunes to excite party feeling—using no language or giving utterance to any expression calculated to hurt the religious feelings of any man—when a party of men out of Carland quarry rushed upon them and abused them in a most savage ma nner. One of them, who was armed with a stone-mason's hammer. first broke the drum, and with the next blow broke one of the arms of the man who was beating it—swearing '-at he would put him from heatinr more an" au ) _ drums—that this was the repeal year, and that, with the help of the great O'Connell, they would get it in spite of all the a nti-repealers in Ulster. The whole party were beaten in the most savage manner. Your correspondent is right in saying that when the loyal Protestants in Dungannon heard of the outrage committed on their comrades, their feelings could not be controlled ; and a number of the younger and more hot-headed of them rushed to the rescue, but the cowardly assailants knew too well of the retribution in store for them to await their coming. So they wisely took to their heels, like a parcel of frightened rats ; thus giving an ticipation of what would be the conduct of the repealers if they were hardy enough to face the loyal men of Tyrone. My chief reason for addressing this letter to you is, to con tradict the assertion of your correspondent—` That the Pro testants have desired military protection.' I say, and 1 say it emphatically, that they do nut want any such protection A few days ar•• ' .go, ►n your comments upon passing events, when you said that the loyal Ulster men could take care of themselves—that they feared no body of repealers that sentiment was heartily responded to. Yes, they can and will take cart of themselves. The government need have • for what they did in and I think that the sal the expression —at that no fears or anxieties about their 1798, they could do again in 18• vation •of Ireland—if I may period was mainly attributable Though on the evening of Tuesday, a part . , Dungannon by the magistrates, with the well.ineant inten tion of preserving th e peace, yet the Protestants did not ,; they knew too well their duty to their Queen tution—and were it nnr fns th. ary was brought into require them a party or pesceanie men, mare would have been no occasion to call out the military at all—the Protestants can both keep the peace themselves, and oblige others to do the same. The Neicry Telegraph, with maudlin pity, pretends to sym pathise with the church of Scotland. Faugh it is all a sham : the party who were so brutally treated were chiefly Presbyterians. Where was their sympathy for them then ? And what becomes of the assertion of the Corn Exchange orators, that the loyal true-blue Presbyterians were joining them I—joining O'Connell ! who said he might as well try to coax a tiger as try to conciliate the black-mouthed Presby terians of Ulster. No, no ! they know Popery too well for that." RESISTANCE TO RENTS.-ONE MAN SHOT, AND SEVERAL WOUNDED (Frain the Dublin Evening Mail.) The following outrage adds another instance to the bloody catalogue of crime, which may he traced to the evil counsels of the selfish ajtators who are the bane of their country. and is a fitting sequel to the counsels of Mr. O'Connell at the late repeal meeting at Carrickmaeross. It appears that on Monday last Head-Constable Laing, accompanied by eighteen of the constabulary of Carrickma cross, left that town at six o'clock in the morning, for the purpose of protecting Mr. Shirley's bailiff, whilst posting civil hill ejectments for non-payment of rent upon the churches and chapels of two parishes upon the Shirley estate, in the county of Monaghan ; they succeeded in posting the proper notices upon two of the chapels, but, upon coming to the chapel of Magheracloone, they found upwards of 1,000 men assembled to dispute their passage, who declared that they would lose their lives sooner than allow the police to enter the chapel-yard. The conduct of this mob was so vio lent that the head-constable prudently withdrew his men without attempting to force an entrance into the chapel-yard, which could not be effected without bloodshed, and returned to Carrickmacross, where Sub-Inspector Barry immediately turned out the remainder of his force, now amounting in all to 29 men, and with these be proceeded on jaunting-cars to Barleybill-bridge, to meet Mr. Wilcocks, the stipendiary magistrate stationed at Kingscourt, to whom an express had been sent. On his way to the place of rendezvous, Mr. Barry 0- teinpted to have the notices posted in the Rock chapel, but was opposed by a large number of men ; and finding that his party could not force an entrance without using their arms, and that the country people were collecting from all quarters towards the place, Mr. Barry did not persist in forcing an entrance to the chapel-yard, until he should have been joined by the . magistrate, When they met 'Mr. Wilcocks, he, at the head of 0 - - le, proceeded to th , - - f M, the _ chapel of ,agliera cloone, where the head-constable arid his patty had been opposed in the morning; and there again they found as sembled an immense mob of men, who met them with loud shouts and in the most determined manner. Mr. Wilcocks At first proceeded alone towards the crowd, and endeavoured to rtason with them ; but their conduct was so violent, that he was soon obliged to return to the police, who had in the meantime dismounted from the cars, and formed into three sections. At their head Mr. Wilcocks and Mr. Barry moved along the road towards the chapel, the mob at the same time advancing to meet them. When they approached, Mr. Wilcocks read the riot act, and commanded them to dis perse, but this only seemed to add to their fury, and they came so close, one of them actually attempting to wrest his carbine frorri a constable, that Mr. Wilcocks was obliged to order the police to charge, which they did with fixed bayonets, and cleared the road in their front. Immediately upon this the people jumped into the fields either side of the party, and at a short distance nntirpcl stones upon them so thickly and with such aim, tha . t. Barry and several of his men were struck, and one of them severely injured in the mouth. The situation of the police was at this moment very criti cal, and at length they were obliged, in defence of their lives, to tire a volley at the mob in the field on their right, when one man having been shot dead and five or six others wounded; they fled for some distance, but again collected in a few minutes, as if prepared to dispute the passage of the police. Mr. Wilcox, finding that with the small force under his command the notices could not be posted without further loss of life, drew off his party, who were assailed with stones on their return from the backs of the ditches, hut no more shots were fired; and it is only owing to the great temper, courage, and forbearance of the entire party, that a greater number of lives were not sacrificed, it being deemed more prudent to wait for a force which would render resistance hopeless. • - - . . . . . Considerable excitement prevails in the district, and a re inforcement of military and police is hourly expected. The coroner's inquest - will lie held on the 7th instant, and a great demonstration of the disaffected is threatened at the funeral of the deceased .on Thursday.

After about twenty minutes' delay the liberator, and the gentlemen who accompanied him. proceeded to the platform, where he was received with the most enthusiastic cheers. PHYSICAL FORCE—FORMING INTO SOLID SQUARE. " The sight at this time was most imposing. The mall, in front of the platform, and on either side, was crowded by 150,000 persons—beyond them the shipping lay with flags and streamers flying, the trades' banners interspersed the vast crowd; and at the various ends the several bands, whose lofty notes were drowned in the shouts of the multitude." This estimate of numbers which is taken from the Dro gheda Argus) falls 20,000 short of the Freeman's calculation, which states the numbers at 170,000. We may as welt despatch the raw material at once, by stating THE RENT received at £l5O and upwards • and forth apply ourselves to those cooked and dressed up ?or TIIC DINNER, at which the purple marksmen, each with his titular prefixed, were there in the spirit only. Letters of apology were read from five right reverends ; and a letter apologetic from the private se cretary and domestic chaplain of that right rev. marksman Doctor HIGGINS—CXCLISCtI his absence in the body. Sir Wm. Somerville, M.P., declined by letter the honour of sharing in either the ante or post-prandial disaffeetion.of the day ; but his absence was compensated for by the bodily presence of the county member for Meath—Mr. Henry Grat tan—not the ;ramortal—from whose speech we extract the following bit of Hannibalisrn : " What have our fathers done, that we should be treated with such indifference, and despised and insulted as we are ? Is it because that they had the manliness to strike off those fetters which degraded them ?—(bear.) There is the rub. Onr fathers would not submit to remain in slavery. and we are to be oppressed in consequence. I beg to tell Englishmen (if there be any of them here)-1 pledge my word, and that of any children, and the word of my friends—and they are nu merous—and the words of their children—that we will never abmit to what we are enduring, and what they have in store lons cheers.) What they want is war ; yes, I repeat it. and I trust the press will take it down, that the English want nothing but war with us. I have the letter at home in my desk which was written to me from the House of Commons ;_ yes, they want to let loose the troops upon us , and to send over the marines to slaughter or to put us down from meeting as we do—(hear, hear.)" We therefore come to Mr. Tom Steele's harangue, ETHEREAL METHOD OF PACIFICATION " Thereis;o subject upon which the people of England seem to be so little informed as the mode of pacifying Ireland. For some • years our august leader has entrusted to me, a Protestant, the rank of head pacificator of the peasantry of Ireland. lam a person who sometimes express myself with tense the reflection which precedes it. (Hear.) Peel the Saxon ! (Hear and laughter.) I said today at the meeting that the streets of Drogheda were once dyed with the blood of the inhabitants, but I hope that Peel and Wellington will never be the bloody villains to dye anew those streets with the blood of the people for looking, by peaceable means, for the attainment of what they considered their just right. (Hear, hear.) "In the construction of my diving bell (continued Mr. Steele) it was necessary that I should have considered two things-Ist, The strength of material, to secure the safety of those who hazarded their lives in the experiment—(cries of bear, hear)—and next, the perfect organization. But that organisation would be no use unless he had material to work on. (Hear.) Dr. Kennedy, a learned and exemplary cler gyman, has stated ' that war had no terrors for the people of Ireland.' O'Connell has said some time ago that in some countries it is difficult to get men to fight, but in Ireland it was difficult to restrain them from fighting. (Hear, laugh ter, and cheers.) I can lay my hand upon my breast, and say with great truth, that since I was appointed to the high station of head pacificator of Ireland, now thirteen► years ago, I have done the utmost in my power to preserve the peace, and to restrain the people from violence, and that I never will allow an.outbreak unless another Cromwell comes to dye our land with blood, and any attempt of mine to re strain the people in such an hour would be vain." The sentiments thus ethereally delivered to the people of Drogheda, are enforced again by the following, addressed, we are told, by the same energetic Boanerges, to the members of the Reveal Association, at a meeting held on Tuesday in the Corn Exchange, Dublin : " Mr. Steel said, were it not that he was quite sure that the motion would be seconded by acclamation, he would claim to second the liberator's motion. He wished, how ever, to redeem a pledge which he gave to - the people of Drogheda on the previous day. He addressed the people at the multitudinous assemblage held there, and they did him honour of drinking his health. In returning thanks he had occasion to give his opinion with respect to certain public characters, and he wished that opinion to be identified with the proceedings of that association. He had occasion to al lude to Drogheda, the streets of which town had steamed and streamed with human blood by the massacre there under that atrocious Saxon villain Oliver Cromwell. (Cheers.) He thought it was a most appropriate occasion to apply that opinion to three other public characters, and he now repeated it. He had called three other characters, Peel, Wellington, and Brougham, those bloody-minded villains—(cheers)—the Crornwells of the day. Furthermore, he said, and he wished this to be recorded, that in addition to the bloody villany of their threat of physical violence to the most purely virtuous and brave people i►► the world, the Irish people—(cheers)— in addition to calling them three bloody villains, he said of Sir Robert Peel that he had the nefarious audacity to make their august and sanctified Queen ne accomplice of this bloody threat upon Ireland." (Loud cheers.) We understand that the' Earl of Roden, with the spirit which ever animated himself and his forefathers, has returned to Ireland, at once to share in the perils of his countrymen, and undertake that part which best becomes the Christian soldier at a crisis so eventful. Mr. O'Connell left Dublin nn Wednesday morning for Kilkenny, where there was to be a repeal meeting on the following thy on a scale of immense magnitude, and where the scenes which have disgraced the country and degraded the government will doubtless be repeated with customary impunit ATTEMPT TO SIIOOT A MA GISTRATV--On the night of the the 2nd instant, at about ten o'clock, John Burke, Esq. J.P., of Tintrim, in the parish of Clourush, and county of Galway (East Riding), as he was passing through his hall, was tired at by some person at present unknown. The Lord Lieutenant has offered one hundred ponnds reward for ap prehending„and bringing to justice the assassin. Mr. O'Connell has given the lie direct to Lord John Rus sell, in reference to the statement of the latter, that he had been offered the Mastership of the Rolls, and not the situa tion of Chief Baron. In this instvice—strange as it may appear—Mr. O'Connell is evidently telling the truth, and he ascribes Lord John's declaration of the thing which was not, to " Whip. ' trickery ;" fur, said he—" There is no understand ing these Whigs. ' JUSTICE TO InELANn.—Since 1815 Ireland has had no taxes assessed; and in 1825 the assimilation of the currency gave a bonus to Ireland of is. Bd. in the pound ; an►i at pre sent Ireland is exempt from the income tax. Are these things reflected on by the Enxlish people? Will they continue to submit to the mendacious libels that the rebel O'Connell and his gang heap on their parliament, and the crown and government of the country ? - REPEAL IN THE ARMY:—The following disagreeable par ticulars of a military affray appear in the Cork Examiner of yesterday evening :—" A considerable degree of excitement arid alarm was created last evening, between the hours of nine and ten o'clock, in the neighbourhood of Patrick's bridge and King-street, from the conduct of a great number of soldiers belonging to the sGth and 45th regiMents, the majority of whom were intoxicated. Several attempts were made by the sober portion of the military to induce their comrades to go ',quietly to barracks, but all in vain, force •and remonstrance being alike unavailing. They then fought amongst themselves, but happily .with - more Jury than effect ; and though numberless blows were offered, and heavy fella' received, still there were few real injuries inflicted. This conduct naturally attracted a considerable crowd, which increased , every Moment, the streets. being thronged, - ea - usual; on Sunday. Some of the police belonging to•the King -street station were present, but did not at first interfere,' hoping that the intoxicated soldiers would have been brought away quietly by their sobercomrades, particu larly as a number of the 45th,'who are nearly all tetotallers, volunteered - their services to that effeet...

This constable had a narrow escape o f hi s lif e, f or on approach. ing the, provision, stores of the Messrs. Burke, the soldier Pushed him against 'the low wall of the very deep area which gives light to the lower cellar, and but for the timely interference of a woman, who caught him by the skirts of his coat as he was hanging down, head foremost, he would havelallen down a height of several feet. Most of the sol diers were extremely young - , Ind were evidently Irish, by their accent, as well as by their expressions, for they re peatedly shouted out—" Hurrah for Ilepeall—by Gwe must have the repeal r "—and numberless other exclamations which proved beyond doubt that they were far from indiffer ent to the present movement in favour of Irish independence. During the whole time many hundred people were assembled, who seemed to be greatly excited. Owing, however, to the praiseworthy exertions of our respected fellow-citizen, Mr. J. Hackett, to whom the police ought to be much indebted, the people were induced to disperse without the least vio lence. At a late hour one of the officers of the 45th with a party arrived, and took the four soldiers who had been pre viously arrested by the police up to the barracks. We under, stand that his worship the mayor and Captain Gnn have this day waited on Sir 0. Carey, arid that an investigation . into the circumstances detailed shove will be speedily held." TILE WEATHER IN IRELAND We have not had so wet and cold a month of May as the last for several years, and for what has come of the present month, we regret to say, that we cannot notice a change for the bettei.. The, unseasonableness of the weather has, as might be expected, retarded the growth of the young crops, oats,in . particular appearing thin and stunted. The potatoe crop is also in a backward state, and the late settings greatly retarded by the wetness of the ground.

SERIOUS INJURY TO THE CROPS.—The weather, for this season of the year, is unusually harsh and severe, and will, no doubt, have the worst possible elrects on the young crops. On Monday it commenced to rain about two o'clock in the afternoon, and did not cease falling in torrents until this morning. Such large quantities of rain fell, that we under stand tilled land, to the extent of one hundred acres, lying on the banks of the Moy, between this town and Foxford, has been most seriously if not irretrievably injured. We do not recollect to have ever witnessed such severe weather in the commencement of June.—Ballina Advertiser. TUE CROPS. — Within the lust four weeks we have had an opportanity of seeing the state of agriculture throughout the entire of the province of Ulster. In general, the grain crops present a luxuriant aspect; although the prevalence of wet weather is inducing a sickly appearance. The potatoes are not.yet all planted, from the wet season.

Our quarrel with the Chinese people can scarcely he defended ; and we much fear that our re cent Scindian conquest is one, the origin of which is not flattering to us as a Christian people. And yet, in every successful encroachment of Great Britain upon the liberties of the semi-barbarous nations which sur round her Indian empire, there can be little doubt that vast benefits to the cause of civilisation and Christianity are involved. We subdue, to civilise. We subdue, to bring about that period when " all the nations of the earth shall know God ;" and, if the end could sanctify the means, then might we say to the most aggressive of statesmen, " Go on ; you are but the agents appointed to work out the mysterious will of the Creator of all things." We cannot, however, he content to hug ourselves upon this loose philosophy. We cannot, therefore— at' all events, with our present amount of information upon the causes which led to it, we cannot—pride ourselves in the morality which prompts our arms. We make war to secure markets for the produce of our looms—to secure an arena for British capital to display its strength. We make war—oh, how humiliating is the confession !—in the spirit of a pedlar—although, in so doing, we only carry out the munificent designs of the Eternal God! The motive is bad—radically bad—though the end may he one at the contemplation of which the angels rejoice ! We have, it may be true, numberless consolations to reconcile -us to a policy which our conscience tells is not defensible. In this Scindian conquest we have the satisfaction of knowing that we have rescued a people from a galling slavery, instead of coercing freemen to submission to an intolerable yoke. The Scindian population were the slaves of a turbulent and oppressive tribe. It was not against the Scindian po pulation, that we fought; but against the oppressors. We freed that population ; but do not let us conceal from ourselves the fact that we did so, without the motives which would make the action virtuous ! Our object, sought in the first instance by negotiation, and followed up by violence, was the possession of the na vigation of the Indus. It was a predatory object. We sought to extend, by violence, the sphere of our commercial operations in India. We were met in this effort by opposition. We have overcome it; and what is our position ? Why, our Scindian war, as the Affghanistan war of the late ministry is one conceived in injustice and in folly. And yet when we contem plate our position with respect to the people of India, . how noble is it! A petty nation—numerically a mere handful compared with the myriads who people India, we yet rule over a third portion of the world. We rule over it by our moral power—by our character as a people loving and seeking justice. And to maintain such a position we must do what we have not of late done in our Indian policy ; we, must endeavour to frame our course so that it can be vindicated and ex plained upon the principles which we profess to regard as those of our especial love. It will be found, from our report of the proceedings in the Common Council, that Mr. Samuel Holme, one of the representatives for St. Peter's Ward, has retired from that body. The motives that have induced him to resign, he has himself so fully and feelingly ex pressed, that we need not dwell upon them here, fur ther than simply to state, that though he found he could, in accordance with the letter of the law, pro fessionally undertake work connected with the Corpo ration, be could not do so consistently with his own honourable and conscientious interpretation of its spirit. He found himself bound, on this account, and also in due consideration of the interests of those who were hear and dear to him, to relinquish the public post to which he had aspired in the indulgence of a laudable personal ambition —an ambition, we verily believe, to serve the town in those public improvements which his practical knowledge so well enabled him to point out, and which it is the legitimate province of the Council to promote,—not to seek that meretricious popularity by display within its walls which is, un happily, a too frequent incentive with candidates for municipal honours. Knowing Mr. , Holme to be a man of the strictest integrity, - we apprehended at the tine his eleCtiOn, that if occasion arose for his Considering the clauses of die act, he would find theM of such a nature, that. without (a sacrifice of that deli . - cacy of principle which renders abhOrient even a sem blance of erasion, hoWever sanctioned by those leis scrupulous, he would be.. under the necessity either. of relinquishing his seat in the Council, or of abandoning his professional pursuits. That necessity has arisen; and, under the circumstances, he had but one alterna tive—that of a truly honest man, which he has adopted. We honour his decision, while We deeply regret his withdrawal from the Council of our borough. "We could have better spared a better man ;" and in this sentiment we feel assured we shall be joined by the great majority of our fellow-townsmen. We were proud of his election as of one who was born amongst us, and who would do honour to any deliberative assembly. With his practical experience, and his knowledge of our localities and our wants, superadded to a cultivated and elegant mind, we anticipated, through his influ ence, great and permanent benefits to the town. His public career has been but brief, and :Beset with no inconsiderable difficulties; but.he has done good ser vice even in thatshort and somewhat untoward period. His retiteatent, though to be lamented, comes not without. Soine'consolatory reflections, both to himself and to his friends. He won his election through the heartfelt good feelings of his townsmen ; even the op position journals. hailed his advent to the Council as a circumstance of• good omen; he retires with the grate ful reflection, that he has taken the only upright course without a sacrifice of principle ; all . parties will regret his reignation ; those most adverse to him in politics must admit that his conduct as'a councillor has ever been courteous, candid, and forbearing; and, with re- ference to his motives in retiring, they will be cow- pelled to respect where they cannot censure. On the other hand it, is gratifying to reflect that thelown may joy th as . map lie anti- cipated from his recent admirable work on public improVements; and we, have - further to rejoice that to him will he intrusted the completion of a large and im portant portion of our noble new Assize Courts—than Which we could not have a better guarantee for the faithful execution of the work.

The wind continues to shift to almost all points of the compass with rapidity ; and on Wednesday evening it rose to a great height, and yesterday blew almost a hurricane the whole day ; the rain fell in extremely heavy showers in quick succession. Vegetation is, howev.-r, luxUri ant, though the grain crops would be much ben efitted by a few dry, warm days. FELONY.—At the police court yesterday, a man of the name of John Harvey was committed for trial at the next sessions, for stealing a p a i r o f bl ue p i lot-cloth trowsers, i n the pocket of which was a one pound note on the National Bank of Scotland. The prisoner was seen going into the house of the complainant, Charles Thompson, who resides in a court in Prince Edwin Street, by the window and. return ing with a pair of trowsers. They were afterwards missed, and the officer went in search of the prisoner who tried to effect his escape when he saw the officer. . • REGISTRY or PORTERS.—We perceive by 'a placard on the walls, bearing the Town-clerk's signature, that a general registry of these seen has been established under the local act of last session, and that all porters, warehousemen, lumpers, and stevedores are required to register themselves at the Town-hall, on or before the 15th instant. This Will be one means of ensuring a body of steady, honest, and in dustrious men to labour in our warehouses, as well as of preventing, as far as possible, the recurrence of any such disastrous fires as we have recently been visited with. ATTEMPT AT DURGLARY.-011 Wednesday, at the Police court, a man of colour, named James Hodson, was commit ted to the ensuing sessions for trial, charged with attempting to break into the house of Miss Hewitson. From the depo sitions it appeared that the prisoner was found by a police officer in the garden, with his hands severely cut. It was afterwards discovered that two panes of glass in the parlour window were broken, the Venetian blinds forced off, and the window by this means unfastened. He admitted that he had done it, and said he did not care how soon he went over the water. He had been previously convicted. BOAT ACCIDENT OFF EGREIkIONT LAST N1611T.-7YDS terday evening, about eight o'clock, as two men were proceeding up the river in a four oared gig, with sail set, a sudden squall upset the boat when off Egrement. The men were speedily picked up by a fishing-boat which was making her way in the same direction. Much praise is due to the crews of two gigs from the north end of the Prince's-dock who saved the boat. Commendations are deserving also to the crew of the revenue cutter, anchored off Seacombe, and also to the people belonging to the Albert, steam-tug, who were promptly on the spot where the accident occurred. A gentleman, who saw the circumstance, states that the es cape of these men was truly providential, the boat having fairly turned over them. THE LEVIATSIAN STEAM SHIP "GREAT BRITIAN."-, This noble vessel was floated into her Dock on the Ist inst., and everything so far proved highly satisfactory. With all Ler machinery, boilers, &c., she draws only 12 feet aft, and 9 forward,—a tolerable proof of the extreme buoyancy of an iron ship. Her intended draught, with coals, stores, and all on board, is 17 to 18 feet. It may therefore be " guessed " that it will take something pretty "considerable" to bring her down to that depth, as from her particular form, her dis placement increases very rapidly, and she will in consequence be very steady in the water and stiff under canvass. The principle of the screw will he fairly tried, and probably folly established in the course of this summer, as we shall have the Rattler, the Great Northern, and the Great Britian all under way about tha same time. THE FUNDS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. —The COU3OI mar ket showed no material fluctuation to-day. There was a fair amount of business transacted, but none of the operations caused any marked feature. Consols for the account closed 924 to g ; Bank Stock, 179 to 180 ; Th ree per C ents. Re duced, 93 1 to 1 , Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Reduced, 100 k to j; Long Annuities, 12 9-16; Exchequer-bills, 525. to 545. premium ; and India Bonds, 535. to 575. premium. Dutch and Spanish were the two foreign stocks in which the dealings of the day were centred. The news that Mendizabal is pursuing measures to insure payment of the next dividend on the Three per Cent. securities induced several of the speculative operators to make purchases. Dutch Two-and a-half per Cents. have improved to 551 to • ; and the Five per Cents. to 99g to 100 g; Spanish Actives left off 204 to 21 : and the New Three per Cents., 291 to 4. The other securi ties were fairly steady. The Portuguese converted closed 41 to 4 ; Mexican, 284 to 4 ; the Deferred, 8 to 4; Danish, 854 to 4; Colombian, 234 t o 4 ; B raz ili an, 7 1 to 73 ; and Belgian, 1024 to 1034. Tars WORKINGS OF THE LEAGUE.---Yesterday, at the police-court, Mr. Peter Wilson appeared before Mr Rushton, by summons, to answer the complaint of Thomas Clarke Berry for assault, who, it appeared, was a distributor of tracts for the Anti-Corn-Law League. The evidence of the complainant himself showed that he went to Mr. Wilson's yard between two and three o'clock in the afternoon, for the purpose of distributing tracts, one of which contained cuts caricaturing the shipwrights before and after an election. The witnesses for the defence alledged that the leaguer had a great crowd of the boys and workmen round him who were connected with the yard, and who would otherwise have been at work, and that when ordered to leave the yard he refused to go, Mr. Wilson th en f orc ibl y ejected him.—Mr. Rushton commented at length on the conduct of the com plainant going to the yard during the hours of labour, saying he (the complainant) had been very properly treated, and that no more force than was actually necessary had been used. The case was of course dismissed, and the agitator left the court no little chop-fallen, not only having lost his cause and his time, but his counsel's fee. DISMISSAL OF TWO POLICE -OFFICERS.—On Wednesday, at the police-court, one of the Cheshire Yeomanry, named James Hunt, was charged by police-officer 198, who was coroborated in his testimony by No. 331, with having been disorderly in the streets on-the previous evening. From the evidence adduced in support of the charge it was shown that Hunt, who had been bailed out, had been making a noise with a female, who was intoxicated, in London-road, when officer 198 took him into custody. He however struggled to get free, and, in doing so, tore the officer's coat. The officer got assistance and took him into custody and to bridewell, where he was booked as drunk and disorderly; but after being in some time the keeper conceiving it was the excite ment he laboured under erased the charge of intoxication and left disorderly only. The evidence for the defence proved that the soldier had not only been annoyed by the woman but that lie had not been in any way disorderly. It was also proved that the officer had most rashly used his staff, and seized Hunt in such a manner by the throat that at one time he was black in the face. The officer then tendered further testimony that had a tendency to affect the decency of Hunt's proceedings. Mr. Rushton said that the yeomanry had acted with very great forbearance, for had they drawn their swords it would have been impossible to calculate the result, and ordered that both officers be dismissed from the force, nor did lie holdout any hope of their being again restored. ELECTION OF COMMISSIONERS FOR BIRKENHEAD.—On Tuesday last, the election of seven members of the Board of Commissioners for paving, watching, lighting, &c., of the township of Birkenhead, in the room of that number out of the 21 who retire by rotation, and of another number for two years to fill a vacancy caused by a resignation, took place in the Town Hall of that town. The Commissioners nomina. ted the first six in the list given below, and Mr. Howard (for two years) ; and certain rate-payers named the other seven and Mr. Singlehurst—for two years. The poll was opened at nine o'clock and was kept up with great animation until the close, altho' it appeared from an early period of the con test that the Commissioners, who issued red voting papers, were so powerful that their opponents who adopted tvhite papers, had but little chance of success. No political party spirit was manifested, there being tories and whigs attached to both sides. At three o'cloCk the respective aggregate num ber of votes for the red was 1672, and for the 'whites only 619.

As Mr. Maw will gladly show the model, and explain the principle and the manner of its working, to any merchant or gentleman interested, we need not here enter into details. tie supposes the large reservoir to be constructed at Edge-hill to be completed, and the mains laid in the principal warehousing streets, so that the water being conveyed by a junction-pipe or hose leading to the top of any warehouse near the docks, the essential element would, in finding its own level, readily be forced without engine power to the required elevation. At the top, ovar the roof, is fixed a cistern of comparatively small capacity, its only object being, not to collect a large body of water, but merely, from the continued flow of water into it :when the main is put on, to ensure a more regular supply of more or less, as the emergency may require. The first operation, from perforated pipes, is the thorough and continuous well ing of the roof on both sides. From this the water finds its way into the common gutters•on each •side,.and thence by pipes along the ceilings of each room, all the room floors and the ceilings being previously covered with sheet-iron, which will for a long time: prevent ;the wood from igniting, even without the superadding of the water. Any one room that may be on tire, or the whole, may be drenched by a conti nuous heavy downfal from the horizontal pipes, by merely turning a cock accessible to the police-officers from the out- side on opening an iron door, should the inside not be ap proachabie through the smoke or dame. Similar doors, giving access to a cook is each room, may also be placed on the stairs, those outside being intended to be reached by ladders should the stairs be on fire. Little or none of the water need be wasted, that falling from the roof into the gutters being available in the pipes below, and any overflow from a higher room being equally available fur any r o oms below it. It is prop os ed that the warehouse doors should also be of double sheet-iron, similar to those of a furnace, which remain comparatively cool on one side, though they are at a'high heat on the other. These doors, which would cost little more than single ones, would be much stronger, and they might be kept closed when a draught would increase the combustion. The whole expense of thus fitting up a warehouse built on the old plan would be but trifling, com pared with the advantages in safety, and the consequent saving of insurance. Many gentlemen have already inspected the model at Mr. Maw's office ; Mr. Whitty, who is deci dedly a practical man in the tire department, highly approves of the plan; and we shall be greatly disappointed in our ex pectations it it be not very generally adopted, and supersede the enormous cost of rebuilding on fireproof principles. Mr. Maw's object has been, we learn, to introduce a plan whiCh, from its simplicity and cheapness, shall be available by all warehouse-owners; and his exertions to attain this, at con siderable cost, entitle him to the encouragement and grati tude of the commercial community.

DISTURBANCE Is LORD NELSON-STREET.--A meeting was held on Tuesday night at the Hall of Science, in Lerd Nelson-street, for.the purpose of hearing a lecture on the subject of the repeal of the union, from an individual named Christopher Doyle, who has, we believe, been hitherto known as a speaker amongst the Chartists... Shortly after the coin meneement of the lecture, a number of lads assembled about the doors; and'after making some noise on the stairs burst into the room, and carried off one of the . forms. This they took into the street and.smashed to pieces on the pavement. The fragments - they gathered up and..threm through the wha dovrs, creating great alarm intheneighbourhood. The stre e t was.instantly in a commotion, hundreds of people hastening to the spot and swelling the crowd. At length In s p ec t or Abiaharn arrived with a few men, and he for a• short time kept the crowd from the doors.. Shortly afterwards, Super intendent Quick, with a file of men, marched . into the street, and in a few minutes another body . of men came up under the command of another Superintendent. Thesa in a very short space of. time, cleared the street, so' that ,it presented the most eitraordinary appearance of.desertion. A number of individuals, however, remained at each end'of the avenue . where they were kept back by files of-officers. About nine o'clock, is body of men appeared in Hotham-street, bearing an orange flag. Mr. Whitty immediately advanced to them with a file of policemen, on seeing whom they turned and fled. They were pursued into Hanover-street, where they dispersed. About ten o'clock the meeting terminated, and as there was a strong force of police on the ground the streets were cleared without further disturbance. LECTURES AT THE COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION.—On Tuesday evening R. Addams, Esq . . delivered the fifth of his course of interesting lectures on electricity, &c., before a highly gratified audience, in the theatre of the institution. The subject for the occasion was on telegraphic communicas tions, including vottetype and electromagnetic telegraphs, which he introd , cell by sonic pleasing and appropriate re marks on the is. doubt ,1 advantages of the transmission of information, by . gnals or 'elegraphs, with a rapidity which could not otherwis. be attai ed. The practice had been pur sued from the earlier t ages, e 'en amongst uncivilized tribes. The deaf and dumb, t 0.,, es rted to signs for the expression of thought, and thereby communicated their wants and wishes. The organs of - sound, as well as sight, were called into re quisition for the conveyance of information to those at a dis tance: the church bell was itself an intimation without words for the people to attend divine worship; the minnte gun at sea, by 'day or night, indicated the danger by which the ma riner was surrounded; and military telegraphic communica tions were found of the utmost importance in conveying in telligence froth star on to station, which could not otherwise he accomplished in time to be available in consequence of the distance. Resort had therefore been had to various sys tems of. signs and signals, some of which of late years had been much improved ; and to this subject he bespoke their attention that evening. A number of fires burning in certain positions on the tops of hills, had, in ancient times, been re sorted to for this purpose; and the Greeks and Romans had employed small twigs, &c., sprinkled with oil, and capable of ready ignition, by which, in various numbers and positions, they could make brief announcements. The lecturer then supplied a short and interesting account of the progress of telegraphic communication. So early as 1684, it was pro posed (by, as we understood, Hawke) so to communicate by suspending great letters of tin ; but we had no practical tele graph in this country until 1794 ; and we were indebted to the French for first stirring us up to the use of it. The first apparatus they used consisted of a lone cross piece of wood at the top of a pole, with two a rms a t i ts ex t rem i t i es, w hi c h last, by being moved in various positions, answered the pur pose to a certain extent. In 1796 another more complicated plan was employed between Paris and a distant station, 'mine four posts, with a cross piece, and five arms or flaps, which increased the vocabulary of communication. Of these he showed, neat models. The British at length set up a telegraph on the admiralty to communicate with Chatham. This was the six •flep-, telegraph, and consisted. of a frame work, elevated on a pole, or pillar. .The frame had six open squares or compartments. within it, in each of which w a s a n octagonal board, which might be turned so as conspicuously to face thedistant observer in signalizing, or kept horizontal, with the edge towards him,. so that it would appear as a mere line if it were at all visible, and signify nothing. On the board were the figures 1 to 6 inclusive, which could be seen in clear weather a distance of 15 or 20 Miles. The next telegraph was that of the admiralty, communicating from London to Portsmouth, and resembling a long ladder, narrowing to the top. A fine model of this was shown, with brass machinery below for working it. It had two sets of arms, each of eight in number, which; when all extended in a vertical sloping or , horizontal position, formed two figures resembling the points of the compass,. with the cardinal and the fiiur intermediate points; The flaps of the upper set represented'thetigures 1 to B—beginning at the top e :nl going round like the face of a clockeati&the lower one 10, 20, 30, &c. up to 80.- There: was also a signal calling attention to those at the next station before a communication was commenced. There were fourteen stations for this line similarly provided, and. each with tables of numbers with alphabetic letter's. so that words could be signalled or spelt. The government. could have a key privately sent to the stations, altering the indication of the letters by figures ; so that though the figure for one letter was.signalled, another letter was .to be taken for it. By this means no one could know what the nature of their communication was, even if they had the usual tables. The telegraph more recently invented by Lieut. Watson had, however, superseded this, and it was contemplated to have it established all round the coast and across the island, so that in fine weather there would be no difficulty in commu nicating all over the country at the rate of 40 miles an hour. His telegraph (which was known here) had four arms, or rather pairs of arms, (or eight flaps,) four of which signified four distinct figures at once . ; and his vocabulary was-a com prehensive one, containing, under (daises, short sentences or words ;—class 1 being those from 1 to 1,000 ; 2 _those from 1,000 to 2,000; and so forth. Theevocebulary was well. ar ranged in sentences or portions of sentences. Thus. if he (the lecturer) opened the book promiscuously, opposite 3425 he found the words ". during the night"-3426, " during last night." But it was quite clear that even this ingenious plan was not available during hazy weather or at night, and this detect had given the idea of constructing electro-magne tic telegraphs. The first of this kind was by Messrs. Cooke and Wheatstone. This, of which he showed a working mo del, had a clock face on a square frame, with a magnetised hand, which e being commu n i ca t e d with by the wires of the galvanic battery, pointed to letters desired to, he indicated by the party, at any distance. He explained the reason why it was necessary that the wires should be wrapped round with white cotton or white silk, or varuithed over. He showed another apparatus with two hands, which, by the like elec tric influence, both pointed to a lett over them or. to one under them. This showed the principle, of the electro-mag. netic telegraph, - which lie explained by diagrams, &c., at considerable length. He then showed, by a diagram in the form of a large diamond intersected into smaller diamonds, with each its separate letter, and havipg five magnetic hands in the middle, that these hands could, by 'the electricity passed to them by five - wires, be made so to point, though at a great distance from the operator, as to spell distinct words. (He also exhibited a beautiful model of a new telegraph, with balls at the top and arms at the side, worked by machinery, which had been sent to him by a gentleman whose invention it was, and which he would explain in a future lecture.) The electro telegraphs noticed had, however, given way to another of a much superior description, a large model or re- . presentation of which he first explained, before showing the real and smaller one in operation. It consisted of a circular wheel face or index, With circles of lefters and ligines marked upim it. The 'face of this was covered with. another face hiding. the whole of it, with the exception- of the letter or, figure which was to be signalled, amid ov,hieh : could, be - seen through a 'openingsquare; :at - the top part of the oute r circle:or lace; in the'Saine - Manner as the day of the month is - observable throtigh a clock diet. There was employed iii working it what is called a permutation table, on a circle or wheel, with numerous little points, against each of which was a letter or figure corresponding with those on the move able dial. When the two wires of the galvanic battery were passed from the perrnutator to the telegraph, (no matter how many miles apart,) and the table was moved round and stopped at the letter required, the electricity, pass ing instantaneously along the wires, moved the index or face of the telegraph, so that the party there could distinctly and quickly spell word after word—a cross being shewn indicating .the termination of each. He showed in.a Very pleasing and clear manner the nature of the apparatus, and the manner in which it worked, but it is diflicult for us to convey an adequate idea of it without diagrams. It must suffice, therefore, to say, that close behind the moving dial is a wheel with a thin rim having teeth on each edge. Let us suppose a narrow saw, having sloping teeth on each edge, to be doubled or bent round in a circle, it would represent this wheel, and a piece of iron which may be called a double pall, and which bylieing moved backwards and forwards on the top.of this wheel So-that at eeCh,rnevettent the perp en di cu l ar pert 'of' it would fall between two of. th e t eet h fi rst' on one .side of the rho and then on the oilier, and which, from..the teeth forming bo...bitesithan, winild turn the Wheel, hi one direetiOn in aI .

The permuta tion table is then turned to the next letter, and so on through whole sentences..

This - was decidedly the best and most gratifying experiment, and one of the toast useful, we should think, which had bees niade during these lectures, and the audie l n i c ie e testified their delight by repeated, bur s t s o f applause. tole rap}r was also made to ring a bell as a signal of attention, and a large model of a bell; sho w i ng the whole system °fits working, was shewn and rung by a distant battery with, sudicieneloudnes! to awaken the beavieet sleeper at a station ! 'a ie. little model also rang very distinctly, though the battery Here we had' a telegraph as efficient. by bell of the due, and the communication was made with the velocity of lightninga velocity indeed annihilating distance. China itself might be communicated with in an incredibly Aida time. The only difficulties were the laying of the copper wires, and so protecting them that the electric current would pass freely along them, and also in getting a sufficient gal vanic power. One of these telegraphs was now established between London ,and , AVindstir, and the precise result of a debate in Parliament conl&thereby be Made known in a few moments. He• concluded by expressing an opinion that to pursue the science of electro-magnetism to perfect such dis coveHes,: was hot. therefore a waste of money and time, but worthy of philosophical minds, as involving great national benefits by. the speedy conveyance of intelligence from place to place. In the course o:the lecture he also showed other sYstems of electro-magnetic communication, which by the touching of halls or keys (in the manner of a musical in strument), balls at distant stations were raised .and: let tall successively, so that language could be conveyed by the mute and extraordinary agency of electricity ! He was listened to with the most respectful attention throughout, and ammunced that he should on Friday (this evening) continue this branch of his subject—introducing .an - electro-printing telegraph, electro-magnetic clocks, &c. &c.
