FOREIGN (5- COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE. I the colony for the quarter ending the sth of July. . The quantity of wool shipped during that period was 6:d8,3761b. the estimated value of which was £32,302. The total value of exports is given as £85,634. of which In only represented £9,496. INDIA. EXPRESS FROM MARSEILLES. (From the Times of Yesterday.) By our monthly courier from Marseilles we have re ceived the intelligence despatched from Bombay on the 2nd October, which reached Marseilles in the afternoon 2d inst., in the Alecto steamer, we have Bombay tte of the departure of the mail; ad glees o the 19th of September, and from China ;t. The latter, however, add nothing to e news brouzht direct from Hong Kong to Suez by the I which we oublishedin the early part papers t( from Ca SPAIN. latest French papers publish the following tele graphic despatches from Spain, by which it will be seen that that country is still torn to pieces by contending factions. The correseondent of the Times, however, says, that the resistance to the Spanish Government is expected to cease immediately:— ' PERPIGNAN, OCT. 28.—The firing continues at Ge rona. The tower of St. John has been demolished, and the battery buried in the ruins. On tne 24th the batteries of the insurgents of Barcelona threw 400 projectiles into Gracia, Sanz, Clot, and Barcelona' Monjuich and the citadel silenced them. Since the 25th, the tiring of artil lery ceased between the city and the forts ; but the fusil- I lade acked the murderer, but continued on different points. Two war steamers pal item of intelligence from India is an in surrection at Lahore, and the murder of Shere Singh, his Purtaub Singh, and all their families, on the 15th of The Sirdar Ajeet Singh is the perpetrator of this bloody tragedy.

On the Maharajah's arrival at the parade ground he found fault with the appearance and condition of some horsemen purposely placed to attract attention, when Aieet Shingh became saucy, words ran high, and drawing Aieet Shingh) shot Shere r Azeez-ood ;h were al bosom, h the head, the ball liaving entered his right temple General Ventura and his party attacked the murderer, but being opposed to a powerful body of troops, were defeated. Ajeet Singh cut up the Rajah's body, placed his head on a spear, and on entering the town met Prince Purtaub Singh's suwarie, which was immediately attacked, and the Prince killed ; the palace was taken, and Dulleep Shingh, the only remaining son of Runjeet Singh, a lad 10 years old, proclaimed to the throne. The treasury was thrown open, and the troops paid up their arrears of pay ; every child and all of Shere Singh's and Prince Purtaub's Singh's wives were then brought and murdered, amongst the rest one of Shere Singh's sons wily born the previous evening. Troops were sent of to guard all the ghauts, and all the opposite party (except Ventura, who escaped) made prisoners." " Ajeet Singh after having killed Shere Singh was re turning to the fort and met Dhyan Singh ; he told him he had done the deed, and asked him to return ; he got into Dvan Singh's carriage, and when they got near the gate have been sent to Tarragona for a reinforcement of troops." Serious disturbances are reported in the south of Spain, consequent on the recent elections. At Xeres a reaction had taken place. All such demonstrations have for the present been suppressed by the agents of the Government. Advices have been received from Cadlz to the 21st and from Lisbon to the 25th ult. All was tranquil in the latter capital BUENOS AIRES of the fort, Ajeet Singh stabbed Dbyan - Singh, and ient Buenos Ayres papers of the 19th of August have come to hand. According to these, Oribe was on the point of joining Urquiza, with the view of consulting on the plan of the eusuing campaign, and Riveira was reported to be concentrating bis forces at a respectful distance in the neighbourhood of Tala. News is stated to have been received at Buenos Ayres of the imprisonment of the commander of the French Basques, in consequence of a discovery that he, with his chiefs, designed to go over to Oribe. The troops of Riveira had evacuated Moldonado, and all supply of cattle had been cut off at Santa Lucia. The number of vessels in port at Buenos Ayres was 130, of which 34 were British. The exchange on England was firm at 3 1-32 d. per paper dollar. Wool was 22 to 26 dollars, and tallow, pure, 28 to 30 dollars. MADEIRA.—From a letter received from Dr. KaHey, of date 7th October, it appears he was still, after ten weeks' imprisonment, in gaol. He gives in that letter some ac count of the attempts being made to prevent the circula tion of the Scriptures. Bail, it would appear, was still, at the date of his letter, denied him. Some of D r . Kalley's his body to his brother, Soochet Singh, and his son, Heera Singh. These two individuals surrounded the city with their troops, the people inside continued plundering all night. " In the morning (16th) Heera Singh having entered the fort, seized Ajeet Singh, Lena Singh, and others, and having put them to death, exposed their heads in the plain and threw their bodies into the bazaar. Dhulleep Singh bas been put on the guddee, and Heera Singh made Vuzeer. Six hundred men were slaughtered on both sides." This is a most important event, for it proves that the empire founded with so much labour by Runjeet is on the eve of dislocation. _ _ . friends in Madeira deem it almost providential that he is in gaol, as otherwise attempts might have been made to assassinate him.—Scottish Guardian. ROYAL AMOUR.—We find the following in the Na tional:—" There is much talk in the northern courts of an affair which has sown dissention in a Royal family hitherto strongly united. A young duke, who has become the son-in-law of an absolute sovereign, by marrying, two or three years ago, one of his daughters, has fallen vio lently in love with his sister-in-law. It appears certain that his love is returned, for the august princess has re ceived orders not to leave her apartments for one month." Runjeet died in June, 1839 ; his son Kurruck suc ceeded. He died, and was followed by Nao Nehal Singh, who was killed at his father's faneral. IRE LAND THE TRIALS Shore Singh succeeded, and he has been killed, and a child placed in his room, to become a victim in his turn. As if it were in anticipation of the events of Lahore, a large army had been ordered by Lord Ellenborough to prepare to assemble on the banks of the Jumna. Orders were also issued to have a body of Bengal troops sent to occupy Scinde, from whence the Bombay troops were to be withdrawn ; but doubts are now formed of the feasi bility of that movement, as all the Bengal force will be requisite to protect the frontiers against the Sikhs. There are 16,000 men now in Scinde. Sir Charles Napier is at Kurrachee ; the troops in Scinde are generally healthy, except the newly arrived ones at Sukkur that have come from Bengal. Judge Burton delivered his charge on Wednesday. It occupied forty-three minutes, and was listened to with breathless attention by a crowded court Shere Nlahommed is said to be in the hills near Canda har. Dost Nlahommed, who rules at Cabul, seems de sirous to be on friendly terms with the British Govern ment. It is thought he will attempt now to retake Pes hawur from the Sikhs, and he may therefore come into collision with the British Government, who are bound to protect Runjeet Singh's descendants. The greatest interest is excited in India by the revolu tion in Lahore, which, it is expected, will terminate in placing that country, with nearly 4,000,000 inhabitants, and a revenue of upwards of £2,000,000 sterling, under the dominion of Great Britain. In the interior of India tranquility prevails. Gwalior appears quiet for the moment, although there was great alarm created there when the intention of the supreme government to collect troops became known. Bundelkund is also at rest. In the Nizam's territory a change has taken place by the removal of the old Prime Minister Chimdoo Lall, who has been succeeded by a relative. There were some trials of great interest at Bombay, such as that of Dharkjee Dudajee v. the East India Com pany, for trespass in forcibly entering his houses and seiz ing all his papers ; another trial is of a Parsee lady, who has brought an action against her husband, on his marry ing a second wife, to claim restitution of conjugal rights. An attempt was made to prove the British courts had no right to interfere, but the supreme court has maintained its jurisdiction. Another trial of great interest has been that of two of the principals and eight of the confederates of the Bunder gang, who have for years been robbing, plundering, smug gling, and, as it is supposed, murdering in the harbour of Bombay. The detection of this gang, after it had existed twenty years, is looked upon with great satisfaction by the friends of Indian civilization and justice. Lord Ellenborough remains at Barrack pore, whence he is expected to proceed soon to the north- w e s t ern pro vinces. He is still abused by a part of the Indian press, but another portion supports his actions as tending to produce good results. His lordship, after some prefatory remarks, came to the part of the informations in which it was alleged that the union was declared to be unlawful. On this head he said that the legislative union is not only practically, but law fully in force in Ireland ; and that jury, in exercising their judgment upon that indictment—are bound so to consider it. This is not to be supposed to amount to a denial of the right to contest the political expediency of continuing that legislative union, or of seeking by lawful means an 1 alteration of it. He then went on to say that to adopt unlawful means f or carry i ng a l awful object was in itself highly criminal. Adverting to the peaceable declarations of the repealers, it was for the jury to say if they considered that the multitudes had assembled for the purpose of ) in timidating by th e i r num b ers . Th e o ff ence charged was I undoubtedly a misdemeanour; and that of tampering with the army would be a still higher one in itself, and would tend to confirm the other charge. It remained, he said, for the jury to say whether they believed the moneys re ceived from different parts of the United Kingdom and abroad were received for the purposes laid in the indict ments. He distinctly pronounced the Arbitration Courts a misdemeanour. as attempting to usurp the prerogatives of the crown, adding, however, that the effect of such as sumption was altogether inferential. He then came to the case of Mr. Bond Hughes, on which so much of the whole of the government proceedings depend ; and after alluding to the well-known blunder of that gentleman as regards Mr. Steel, he said :—lf it should appear that such misrepresentation has been made wilfully and de liberately, such a misrepresentation justly disentitles him to any credit at your hands ; and not wilfully, but through any negligence or inadvertance—the fact may, under all circumstances, be sufficient to materially affect his credit, although not sufficient to deprive him of all credit as to the truth of other portions of his testimony. His lord ship then very earnestly besought the jury to disabuse their minds of all prejudice, and in conclusion said : " At the present moment the parties are not even, legally speaking, accused." On the whole, the charge is a very mild and temperate one, and has given much satisfaction to all. HUGHES, THE INFORMER.—After the delivery of the charge, his lordship received information against Hughes on a charge of perjury, though they had been previously refused by the clerk of thee crown. On Friday morning bills of indictment were sent before the city grand jury. An abstract of the indictment, as is usual in such cases, was furnished to the grand jury, but some of its members required that the whole document, with all its tedious averments and tedious repetitions, should be read. The informations upon which the parties were held to bail were sworn to but by one person, viz., Mr. Bond Hughes ; whereas there is a long list of wit nesses (upwards of twenty) endorsed on the back of the bills of indictment. At four o'clock the witnesses were ordered to be in attendance on the following morning, when they were again present, but the Grand Jury did not find the bills on that day, and it was not expected that the finding of the Jury would take place until Monday (yesterday). DUBLIN, Saturday, Nov. 4. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. In the course of the day the Chief Justice said, he un derstood that the city grand jury had signified to Mr. Justice Burton that they had something to say to the court. The Clerk of the Crown intimated that he had received a communication to that effect from their secretary. The Chief Justice.—lt would be right they should come into court. The jury were accordingly sent for, and appeared in their box, when The FOremaii said, there appeared to be a clerical error in the fourth count of the indictment, in which the names of two parties, Thomas Tierney and Peter James Tyrrell, should be mentioned. Those names appeared in that count as Thomas Tierney and Peter James Tierney, the word Tierney being substituted for Tyrrell. Some of the jury thought it was a clerical error, and wished to have the word Tyrrell inserted in the proper place instead of Tierney, and he begged to know if he should hand the bill down to be altered ? The Chief Justice.—You had better, if you please Has Mr. Tyrrell any counsel i❑ court? Mr. M`lionagh.-I am counsel for Mr. Tyrrell, my lord. The Chief Justice.—Do you make any objection ? Mr. M`Donagh.—l object, on the part of Mr. Tyrrell, to that bill being now meddled with. It is given in charge to the grand jury, and it is for them to ignore or find it as they think right. I have every objection to my client's name (Tyrrell) being put into that indictment. The Foreman observed that the mistake bad only oc curred in one count. The Chief Justice.—All the other counts are right. The Attorney-General.—l apprehend there can be no doubt about the matter. The alteration will, of course, be made. Mr. Hatchell.—l submit there is no authority to amend the bill. The Attorney-General said the document was at present nothing more than a bill ; it was not an indictment till it was found, and the jury were quite at liberty, if they thought proper, to hand it to the clerk of the crown, from whom they received it, to have the alteration made by him. - Mr. M`Donagh submitted that the clerk of the crown had no authority to alter the bill. The Chief Justice.—He has the informations on which the bill was founded, from which he can correct any mis take. Mr. M`DoNwon said the bill was not the work of the clerk of the crown ; it was prepared by the attorney general, who was prosecuting for the crown, and given through the hands of the clerk of the crown to the grand jury. The grand jury had been charged with that bill to dispose of, and the attorney-general or any other p ar t y had no right to withdraw or amend it. The Attorney-General.—l believe Mr. M`Donagh is acting as an amicus curia , in this case; he has not a li cense from the crown for defending Mr. Tyrrell. Mr. Nl'Donagh said he had a license in Mr. Tyrrell's case. He had been very guarded in all these cases, and refused reta'ners until license in each of them had been taken out. Mr. Cantwell (solicitor in the case) stated that he had taken out a licence for Mr. M'Donogh to act for Mr. Tyrrell, and he called upon Mr. M ( Donagh now to give him every assistance in this matter. The Attorney• General expressed himself satisfied, and Mr. M`Donagh then requested that their lordships would let the point stand for argument until Monday. No case had occurred where such an alteration was per mitted to be made in a bill of indictment. It was im possible for the Clerk of the Crown to have any foundation to amend ; be had no basis to change the name of Tierney into Tyrrell in either information or indictment. If it were wrong in both, therefore, be could not suppose the officer would make any alteration. The court would leave the bill with the grand jury to dispose of as they might think right. The Attorney-General said be was not aware upon any occasion of counsel for a party charged being heard before indictment was found. So far it was altogether an ex parte matter. There was evidently a clerical error made in writing one surname for another; and the grand jury informed the court of this mistake, who had a right and privilege at law to amend it and send it up again. It should be remembered that that was not an application after, but before the indictment was found—in fact, so far there was no indictment, it was only a bill. He, therefore, entirely objected to any counsel, on the part of any individual, being heard in such a state of the proceed ings, or listened to upon a bill, as long as the proceedings were ex parte. Until the accused were called upon to answer the indictme n t, th ey s h ou ld not appear; and, in stead of calling on him for an authority for the court, he considered that the cou r t s h ou ld ca ll upon th e o th er side for authority to object. The grand jury might have made the alteration themselves, but as the bill came down he considered that the court should order it to be done. Mr. M`Donagh wished to explain. The Attorney- General said he had no right to be heard, but he (Mr. M`D.) had waited until the court asked if there were any counsel for the Rev. Mr. Tyrrell present. The CHIEF JUSTICE—I dare say the irregularity was originally attributable to me. (Laughter.) After having conferred with the other members of the court, the learned Chief Justice said, that at the present stage of the pro ceedings the bill could not be considered or properly called a bill of indictment; it was a mere bill sent up on the part of the crown by the Attorney-General, through the clerk of the crown, to the grand jury. So far no third party had a right to be heard. If the Attorney- General or the jury had pointed out a clerical error, the court should give permission to have it altered ; but the conrt were of opinion that the crown could remedy it without any application. The error was accordingly rectified. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE CHINA.—We have received advices from China to the beginning of August, which are of much interest and im portance. The new tariff of duties on the foreign trade, and the general regulations under which the trade is in future to be carried on, have, at length, been finally ar ranged and completed. The heavy tonnage dues and port charges have been removed, and more moderate rates substituted in their stead, as well as the system of levying and exacting the duties, which has also been remodelled. The sum of five mace per register ton now covers every charge 'except pilotage, so that a vessel of 200 tons regis ter burden, instead of paying about 2000 dollars as formerly, may now proceed to Whampoa on paying 350 dollars. The CO-hong system has, as determined on, ceased. Transactions, therefore, of a mercantile nature with the Hongs will henceforth be as individual merchants. Sir Henry Pottinger's authority to prevent the impor tation of opium into Hong .Kong (the city of which co lony, the seat of government, is now denominated Vic toria) will not be availed of in any respect, as his excel lency considers that were he to act upon this authority he would rather aggravate than ameliorate the evils of the system which at present obtains. In this opinion the Chinese commissioner coincides. The export of teas from China to England in the month of June was 1,431,7411b5., of which there were 1 ,039,9161b5. black, and 390,8251b5. green. Prices of cotton have not im proved, and the stock in the end of July was estimated as being rather above than under the 95,000 bales, and large importations expected ! The Bogue forts have all been rebuilt and made stronger than ever—which fact, taken in connection with other warlike movements on the part of the Chinese, have led many parties in China, as well as here, to suspect that our peace with the Chinese is to be of short duration. An extensive and beneficial com merce would, however, do much to render a second war improbable, and maintain and strengthen the present good understanding. SINGAPORE. —Our accounts from Singapore are to the lith August. The market was in the same dull state last advised, with no hope of improvement, either in demand or in prices, taking place for some time to come. In cot ton there was nothing doing, and the stock in the place was very heavy. The Opium market was inactive as well; no sales have been effected in the Bengal qualities from the date of the receipt of supplies from the fifth sale. Malwa had been sold to a small extent at 550 to 555 Sp dols per chest, for shipment to China, there being no local inquiry whatever for the article. Exchange was quoted at 4s 4d, six months' sight. Freight exceedingly scarce, and tonnage abundant. Great difficulty was ex perienced in filling a ship for Europe. CALCUTTA.—INDIGO SEASON, 1843.—According to the advices received from the various Indigo factories, and published in the columns of our Bengal contemporaries, the forthcoming crop of indigo is likely to exceed all precedent. The indigo season has been a remarkably fine one. The Friend of India states that the crop is likely to exceed rather than fall short of 150,000 maunds ; and our contem porary the Eastern Star says that this quantity, according to his accounts, "is very likely to be exceeded by 10,000 maunds." CAPE OF GOOD HOPE Advices have arrived from the Cape of Good Hope to the 26th of August, which allude to the retuu of Mr. Commissioner Cloete to Pietermauritzbergh, and it is stated that the rumour had reached Port Natal of several of the leading Boers having expressed a willingness to agree to the terms of the late proclamation.

T The following intelligence from Irelaud, expressed 'rom our own correspondent, appeared in a Second Edi ion of our last publication : Dublin, Monday, Oct. 30th, Half-past Eight o'clock, p.m. I send you a report of the proceedings at the usual weekly meeting of the Repeal Association, at the Con ciliation Hall, up to its close. Mr. O'Connell moved John Molong, Esq., ex-J. P., into the chair. Mr. O'Connell proceeded to read the letter of Doctor Slattery, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Cashel, en closing a subscription to the repeal funds. He characte rised it as the letter of a pious prelate and true-hearted Irishman, who had never before mixed in politics, but was possessed of a powerful intellect and the greatest pa triotism. They had already two of their four archbishops declared repealers, and he was proud to rank Michael of Cashel beside John of Tuam. (Hear, and cheers') The Hon. Gentleman handed in £lOO from Quebec, and took occasion to praise the wisdom of the British councils there. The rent for the week was announced at a late hour to amount to eleven hundred and thirty-eight pounds thirteen Millings and sixpence, and the meeting was then adjourned. The Evening Mail of to-night contains the following announcement, which no doubt will create some surprise when we remember the many boasts of openness and affections for all, which were hitherto so plentifully sprinkled through the agitator's discourses : A NEW FEATURE—WAR HAWK! -- - The future meetings of the Loyal National Repeal Ar. sociation are to be held with closed doors! Formerly the cry was, " We court inquiry —our doors are open to all— why don't those who abuse come and listen to us," and all that kind of thing. The official notice now announces that " The usual privilege of admission on payment is suspended." " STRANGERS CANNOT BE ADMITTED." What will the law officers say to this? Eight car loads of ammunition, consisting of 250,000 Nall cartridgss, arrived in Limerick from Nenagh on Fri day, escorted by a party of the 52d depot, under; Ensign Pelly. With reference to the unprecedented attempts which have been making to intimidate the special jurors of the city of Dublin, 1 subjoin the following observations from a leading article of the Evening Mail:— "We believe they will not succeed. We believe that the system suited to Kilkenny or Tipperary, and recently exemplified in Limerick, will not be found adapted to the soil of the metropolis. Intimidation may do much, and has done much, in deterring both witnesses from appear. ing on the table, and jurors from finding true verdicts ac cording to evidence before them, in districts where both were exposed to the disturbing influences of the firebrand and the bullet on the one hand, and of bribery and corruption on the other; but we should libel the courage, the integrity, the independence and loyalty of the city of Dublin, could we suppose that any motives of fear, or any temptations of profit, could induce any of the class qualified to sit on the panel to swerve from the path of duty." Colonel M'Gregor, director general of the constabulary force, was the officer selected by government to arrest O'Connell at Clontarf, if he persisted in holding his meet ing there.—Morning Post. It may interest some persons to know, under present circumstances, that for some time past, a mass, recom mending Daniel O'Connell to the protection of Heaven, is read every day in the Vatican, by express orders of the pope.—Globe. CALAMITOUS OCCURRENCE.—The public works at Banagher, under the superintendence of the Shannon Commissioners, are nearly suspended, in consequence of the dams being swept away, and upwards of 300 men thrown out of empioyment.—Dublin paper. The Globe states that Father Mathew is expected to leave Ireland in three weeks, and that he will re-com mence his labours at Preston, in Lancashire, and after wards proceed to fulfil his numerous engagements in other parts of the country. ' Dr. Slattery, the titular archbishop of Cashel, has sent a letter to Mr. O'Connell, stating that the events of the last few weeks have overcome the writer's disinclination t 9 mix in politics; and accordingly he encloses £3 as his subscription, and requests to be enrolled a member of the Repeal Association. The Times Reporter gives the following rumour :—" I learn on Repeal authority, that two accessions will be made to the association on Monday next, whose adhesion will excite considerable surprise, both Right Hon. Gen tlemen being members of the late Ministry—namely,Mr. Richard Lalor Sheil and Mr. Thomas Wyse." TIIE POPE AND DR. HIGGINS.—The Dublin Free man's Journal states, that " so far is the Right Rev. Dr. Higgins from having fallen under the displeasure of the court of Rome, that his holiness has appointed him one of his domestic chaplains, and bestowed upon him other proofs of favour not less gracious than distinguished." The same journal also contains the following official an. nouncement :—THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.—His Holiness the Pope has directed that prayers be offered up every day, in the Pontifical Chapel, for the safety, long life, and success of Ireland's Liberator." THE PRIESTS AND TAEIR FLOCKS.—A letter dated Dublin, Oct. 25th. states " the priests of a whole district in the county Tipperary preached simultaneously, the other day, upon the following text : Ezekiel, 9th chap ter, sth and 6th verses. ' And to the others he said in mine hearing, go ye after him through the city, and smite ; let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity. Slay utterly old and young, both maids and little children and women ; but come not near any man upon whom is the mark. ' " The Dublin Evening Mail, of Wednesday, says the correspondent is mistaken in supposing that the political sermons upon the foregoing text—(' The Devil can quote Scripture to his purpose') were confined to any district or county, or even to any prov i nce. The pol i ce d epartment are in possession of information, tranmitted to them from every quarter in Ireland, conveying the foregoing facts, which was forwarded to the Secretary of the Home De partment." IV A L E S. STATE OF SOUTH WALES. We gave in our last the proceedings before the special commission appointed to try the prisoners apprehended during the late riots in South Wales. On Monday morning, David Jones and John Hugh were placed in the dock, charged with assisting to dem o . lish and pull down a certain house in the parish of Llan delotalybont, the property of William Lewis and others. The prisoners first pleaded " Not Guilty;" but after a short conversation between their counsel and Mr. H. Williams, their attorney, they withdrew their plea, and pleaded " Guilty." The Attorney-General then said, the prisoners having pleaded " Guilty," he did not mean to press in aggravation of punishment. John Hughes, who was convicted on Saturday, having been placed along with the prisoners at the bar, they were sentenced to 20 years' transportation. In the case of David Lewis, a labourer, against whom there was a charge of feloniously and maliciously cutting and wounding, the Attorney-General said, that on look ing over the circumstances, he felt disposed to enter a nolle prosequi. The prisoner was then discharged. Lewis Davis, charged with throwing down and destroy ing a certain turnpike-gate, in the parish of Llandilotaly bont ; having pleaded " guilty," was discharged, on en tering into his own recognizances for £5O. Morgan Mor gan and Esther Morgan also pleaded '` guilty" to an in dictment for aiding and assisting Margaret Morgan to cut and wound Charles Frederick Napier, of Swansea ; having entered into their own recognizances for £5O each, were accordingly discharged. Margaret Morgan, Rees Mor gan, and John Morgan likewise pleaded "guilty," the first to an indictment charging her with maliciously cut ting and wounding the before mentioned Charles Frede rick Napier, and the other prisoners with having been feloniously present, and aiding and assisting her to corn_ mit the said felony.—The Attorney General said he wa s not disposed to press for a severe punishment in this case, but, as the law had been resisted, the offence must, at the same time, be marked by some sentence which would ma nifest the severe displeasure of the court.—The learned judge then sentenced Margaret Morgan to imprisonment for six months, and Rees and John Morgan for twelve months. Mr. Baron Gurney, addressing the grand jury, thanked them, in the name of the country, fur the services they had performed, and discharged them. His lordship also, in discharging the petty jury, expressed his regret that they should have been taken from their homes at an unu. sual period of the year, thanking them at the same time for the manner in which they bad performed their duty. The juries then retired, and the proceedings of the com mission terminated. COMMITTALS TO CARMARTHEI , COUNTY GAOL. —O n Saturday week, David Jones, of the parish of Llwrda Carmarthenshire, was committed un d er t h e warrant of E : P. Lloyd, Esq., to take his trial at the next assizes, charged with having on the 14th October, sent to Thomas Williams, auctioneer, a letter, threatening to burn his hay and corn ; he was also committed under a second warrant, charged with having on the same day sent to Henry Lloyd Harries, Esq., a letter threatening to destroy the house and hay be longing to him. OUTRAGES AT LLANELLY.—We are sorry to report that the town of Llanelly, for the last week, has been the scene of several villainous outrages. On Monday night, the 23d October, two large ricks of hay, standing on the marsh near Sandy Gate, the property of Mr. Evan Evans, of this town, (a person much respected by all classes,) was fired by some evil disposed persons. The fire was seen about half-past nine o'clock, when a large number of people proceeded to the spot and made every effort to extinguish it. A little was saved, but it is rendered unfi for use. On Tuesday morning a letter was delivered to the magistrate, who were in the Town-hall, to this effect —that if they did not see that the person who looks overt the coal works belonging to Mr. Arthur, at Cwmamman, was discharged within one month from the date of the letter, they would come and demolish the engine. They expressed a great antipathy to the person for some con duct of his, and that " 13ecca" always kept her word. — Swansea Journal. IMPORTANT CONFESSION.—The following document has been issued by the three prisoners, Hughes, Jones, and Hugh, now confined in Cardiff Gaol. We hail it as a pledge of returning order and tranquility. It is signed by each of the convicts, and bears date the Ist November, and is attested by the governor. "To the Public gener ally, and to our Neighbours in particular,—We, JOHN HUGHES, DAVID JONES, and JOHN HUGH, DOW lying in Cardiff Gaol, convicted of an attack on Pontardulaig Turnpike Gate, and the Police stationed there to protect it, being now sentenced for Transportation, beg earnestly to call on others to take warning by our fate, and to stop in their mad course before they fall into our condemna tion. We are Guilty, and doomed to suffer, while hun dreds have escaped, let them and every one take care not to be deluded again to attack public or private property, and resist the power of the Law, for it will overtake them with vengeance, and bring them down to destruction. We are only in prison now, but in a week or two shall be banished as rogues, to be slaves to strangers in a strange land. We must go in the prime of life from our dear homes, to live and labour with the worst c f villians, looked upon as thieves. Friends, neighbours, all,—but especially young men,—keep from night meetings, fear to do wrong. and dread the terrors of the Judge. Think of what we must and you may suffer before you dare to do as we have done. If you will be peaceable and live again like honest men, by the blessing of God you may expect to prosper, and we—poor outcast wretches—may have to thank you for the mercy of the Crown—for on no other terms than your good conduct will any pity be shown to us or others, who may fall into our almost hopeless situation." EXTRAORDINARY INCENDIARY FIRES IN DENBIGH SHIRE.—A correspondent of the Manchester Courier, writing from Curwen, and dating Thursday, says—" Last night about eleven, a fire broke out at a place called Gaer- Gerrig, William Ellis tenant, when all the outbuildings were destroyed, eight cattle burnt to death, and a consi derable quantity of corn consumed. Groesfaen, Evan Jones tenant—the outbuildings, containing a considerable quantity of corn, and the stack-yard had been tried to be set on fire in several places. Here was a scene :—ln one of the outbuildings a servant man and six calves were smothered to death by the smoke. It is supposed that the poor fellow had found the premises on fire, as he was only partially dressed. He had managed to let the horses out of the stable, and some of the cattle, and then had gone to the building where he met his death. He had loosened all the calves ; and the supposition is, that the door was closed by some of them running against it, as one of them was found lying dead against the door, The poor fellow's name was Hobert Roberts. about 22 years of age. On the same evening fires took place at the fol lowing farms, at which the damage specified was done : Ty nant y Plase—Mrs. Davies tenant—outbuildings and one calf destroyed. Plase—Hugh Edwards tenant— outbildings. Ty Gwyn—Mr. Thomas Edwards tenant— the eutbuildings and about 40 bushels of unthrashed oats. Pen y Gaer—David Jones tenant—the stable, &c. Maesgwyn—Robert Jones tenant—all the outbuildings, one cow, and about 40 bushels of unthrashed oats. Tai draw—Edward Hughes tenant—outbuildings. Pen v Craig—John Davies tenant—the outbuildings and a quantity of oats. Glan y Gors—John Davies tenant—all the outbuildings and a considerable quantity of corn. Perthi Llwydion—Edward Morris tenant—outbuildings, and from eight to ten bushels of unthrashed barley. Tyn y Cefu—Robert Jones tenant—very little damaged." From this it would seem that twelve houses were fired in one night, the distance from all the farms being six to eight miles. The loss has been very great to the poor farmers, as in all the outbuildings burnt were the barns, and those full of corn. The night had been particularly fine, or had there been any wind the consequence would have been dreadful RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE, The Bishop-Auckland and Weardale Railway is ex pected to be opened o❑ Wednesday next for general traf fic. RAILWAY BETWEEN BERWICK AND EDINBURGH.— The requisite notices of an intention to apply to parlia ment during the ensuing session for a bill for this under taking, have been posted on the church-doors of the dif ferent parishes through which the railway is intended to pass. A correspondent states that the Caledonian Railway (from Lancaster through Kendal to Carlisle,) is now fixed and certain. " A meeting of the subscribers (he adds) will be held in Kendal on Monday next, to take proceed inns for the formation of a Company. The requisite funds (X 800,000) are guaranteed, £5OO 000 by the united Rail way Companies, and the rest by the public." OPENING OF THE RAILWAY ➢ROM LONDON TO HERTFORD AND WARE.—Tuesday witnessed the com pletion and opening to the public of the railway to Ware and Hertford, the line having been officially reported by Major-General Pasley as in a perfectly consolidated and fit state for working. The first train started from the Shoreditch station at eight o'clock, reaching Ware, a distance of 24 miles and a half, and Hertford, a distance of 26 miles, in the space of little more than an hour. RAILWAY FROM LANCASTER TO CARLISE.—The subscription list for this great undertaking is rapidly filling up ; but a few shares vet remain undisposed of, which we trust will be taken immediately, as the requisite notices for applying to parliament must be given in the course of a few days, and no movement in that direction can be made until the full amount required is obtained. The sum already raised in Carlisle exceeds £20,000. The subscription at Penrith, which has been very liberal, is not to be taken as part of the £25,000 required from Car lisle. It was erroneously stated by a contemporary last week, that Lancaster would contribute £25,000. That town has already paid £200,000 towards bringing the railway to its present terminus, and cannot be expected to contribute more. That the requisite sum will be raised we have no doubt ; and all we urge is despatch.— Carlisle Journal. BOLTON AND PRESTON RAILWAY.—A special meeting of this company was held at Bolton on Saturday week, to consider the propriety of uniting with the North Union Company. A resolution was passed to amalgamate the companies, on the understanding that the dividend to be paid to the proprietors of the North Union Company upon their paid-up capital of £477,539, shall be twice as much per centum per annum as the dividend to the pro prietors of the Bolton and Preston Company upon their paid-up capital of £262,002, until such respective divi dends shall amount to £6 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital of the North Union Company, and £3 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital of the Bolton and Preston Company ; and that, when the net profits of the consolidated company shall exceed the amount of £6 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital of the North Union Company, and £3 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital of the Bolton and Preston Company,— then such surplus of net profits shall be divided pro rata, at an equal rate per cent. per annum, upon the said two several sums of paid-up capital of £477,539 and £262,002. The case Ranger v. the Great Western Railway Com pany, the judgment in which we reported last week, involved upon the question of amount almost as important results as were embraced in the great case of Small and Attwood. We are able to lay before our readers some of its statistics. The first bill was 812 folios ; the amended bill 1157. The first supplemental suit bill 341 folios ; the second supplemental bill 525 folios. The first an swer 1,299 folios ; the second 132 folios ; the third 212 folios. The documents admitted upwards of 800 folios. The plaintiff's evidence 1685 folios. The defendant's 405 folios. Total of folios upwards of 6736, for which an office copy charge was paid of 10d. per folio, besides volu minous affidavits ! Shorthand notes on collateral argu ments 2,200 folios. Observations, 39 briefs. The total brief, embracing these copies, for counsel, would be nearly 960 brief sheets. Sir W. Follett's fee was 300 guineas, and 100 additional, with sundry other fees, making £5OO. Mr. Stuart had 220 guineas, and 100 ad dittonal ; Mr. Richards 220 guineas ; Mr. Stevens 150 guineas, and 50 additional. In the early stage of the cause the counsel had fees as follows—first counsel 150 guineas ; second ditto, 125 guineas ; third ditto, £BO ; besides numerous other smaller fees • making a total in counsel's fees alone o f nearly £2,000. The Vice- Chancellor has already ordered the plaintiff to pay a great part of the costs of these matters ! The case was five years in progress, and the same solicitors were for the company that were engaged in Small and Attwood— namely, Messrs. Swain, Stevens and Co. Frederick place, London. The shorthand writers' bills amounted to nearly £4OO ! Thus it will be seen that going to " law" is a rather expensive amusement. RIOTOUS PROCEEDINGS AT TODMORDEN RAILWAY SrArtox.—On Wednesday last an affray of a very serious character took place at the Railway Station, between the company's servants and a dozen labourers in the employ of Mr. Wm. Greenwood, of Stones. The dispute origi nated some time since in consequence of the company's appropriating certain portions of land to their own use, which Mr. Greenwood, the owner of the property, main tains they never bargained for. A few weeks since he employed a number of men to fill up a goit or sluice which he said the railway company had made in his land without any authority. The work of destruction was no sooner commenced than the railway company set on a number of men to counteract their proceedings ; and for upwards of a day whatever was done by one party was immediately undone by the other. Having played at this game till they were weary, both parties agreed to have a meeting in a fortnight from that time to make some satisfactory agreement. On Wednesday morning, the time appointed having gone by, Mr. Greenwood again engaged a number of men to demolish the property. They first broke through the arch, and filled up the goit or sluice above mentioned, and were proceeding to pull down a strong burr wall, when one of the company's servants pushed a large stone from the top of the wall which severely injured a person named James Harrod, one of Mr. Greenwood's men, and it was almost miraculous that no lives were lost by so dangerous sion, h h o o w st e i v ii e t r y ,. wa T s he bu s t cu t ifi h e e obliged s description to interfere; would be f l t t lw l l d e i l s t t tyh s h i fruitless . harbingerap that a the n e aexsffnp ensued affray yrei servants, a n f wnt was. violence a This lvwent en con t i n ued 11 te terrific a ggression, g noi gd r e generals oe t r ar e kp m , e at all 1 constable 1 n t h attempts course sa a eg t t o h elli w e xt a i s s s s is u t ffi an c c ie e n of half-an-hour, in spite of picks, crow-bars, spades, &c., they succeeded in capturing eleven of Mr. Greenwood's party.otftothseaycotimia_t UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL NEWS OXFORD, Nov. 2 In a convocation holden this day permission was given to Mr. Charles Henry Barrett, M.A., and Fellow of Magdalen College ,to commute the degree of Master o f Arts for that of Bachelor of Civil Lac In the same convocation George tidwill Shannon, M.A., of Trinity College, Dublin, was admitted ad eun dem In a Congregation holden at the same time the follow ing degrees were conferred : Bachelor in Divinity.—The Rev.

DIVISIONS.—A letter in the Record, signed, "A Mas ter of Arts," mentions that Mr. Palmer, Dr. Hook, Mr. Gresley, Mr. Perceval, Archdeacon Manning, Mr. Paget, have relinquished their connection with Dr. Pusey and Mr. Newman, although it is still doubtful how far they have abandoned the peculiar views of these Anglo- Ii omanists. In the Arches Court, on Thursday, a motion was made that the Rev. H. E. Head, rector of Feniton, Devon. (who had been sentenced to suspension for three years, and condemned in the costs, for publishing matter in de rogation of the Book of Common Prayer,) might be re lieved from the costs attending the protest in the first instance, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, to which tribunal the case on protest was appealed, not having condemned Mr. Head in the costs of that appeal— Sir H. Jenner Fust said he had condemned the party in the costs generally, which necessarily included the costs of the whole proceedings, and he rejected the motion. THE NEW BISHOP.—It is confidently stated that Arch deacon Lonsdale has received an intimation of his selection for the vacant see of Lichfield. The appointment may be considered an average one. The Archdeacon is one of the old High Church school ; but declares his decided hostility to Tractarianism. He vacates, on his elevation, several important offices. He is Preanher at Lincoln's-inn. His successor there will be nominated by the Benchers, and we should not be surprised if a Tractarian were to be brought forward as a candidate. His Archdeaconry is in the gift, we apprehend, of the Bishop of London. The Headship of King's College is in the hands of the Arch bishop of Canterbury ; and the valuable Prebendal Stall in St. Paul's Cathedral will fall into the treasury of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. So that the government will derive nu patrunage whatever from the Archdeacon's elevation. REV. MR. SIBTHORP.—The Rev. G. S. Faber, of Dur ham, has just published a very interesting letter on the subject of Mr. Sibthorp's recent conversion to Roman ism and subsequent departure from her communion, in which he says—" Relying o❑ the fidelity of representa tions such as that of Dr. Wiseman, and thence believing the charge of idolatry to be without foundation, Mr. Sibthorp is induced to quit the pure communion of the protestant church of England for the supposed still purer communion of the popish church of Rome. Thus, by the actual practice of the party which he joins, he has a full opportunity of testing the correctness of the explana tion afforded by that ingenious gentleman, Dr. Wiseman. And what is the result? Why it is nothing less than a conscientious departure from the very society into which he had entered through a full belief that Rome was un justly charged by England with idolatry ; a departure, moreover, be it specially observed, on the avowed ground, as I have been led to understand, that lie was required to pay a species of adoration to the Virgin Mary, which, after all the ambages of Dr. Wiseman, plain unsophis ticated common sense told him was palpable idolatry or creature-worship. In other words, as soon as the veri table practice of the Latin church was exhibited to him in its undisguised deformity, all Dr. Wiseman's painful ex planations, and all other essays to boot of the same stamp and tendency, vanished into thin air. Mr. Sib thorp, after quitting England for Rome in the full honest belief that Rome is not idolatrous, finds it necessary to return from Rome to England on the equally honest practical conviction that Rome is idolatrous." THE SCOTCH CHURCH. The Free Church Assembly has resolved that no coun sel shall be permitted to appear at their bar on behalf of parties on them. FREE CHURCH BIGOTRY.-Mr. Stott stated on Tues day in the Edinburgh Town Council, that on Thursday week he heard the Rev. Dr. Macdonald, of Ferintosh, who was preaching in Edinburgh, use the following lan guage in his sermon. " The Established Church of Scotland is a Christ-denying, God-dishonouring, and soul destroying Church." The awful state of mind which could give birth to this sentiment, must make its unhappy possessor an object of sincere pity to all right-thinking persons. THE COURT. Her Majesty is said to be again in an interesting situa tion. According to private letters from Paris, the Duke and Duchess of Nemours may be expected in London on Monday next, on a visit to her Majesty and Prince Albert. Her Majesty will hold a privy council at Windsor Castle on Friday next, the 10th instant, at three o'clock, when it will be ordered that parliament be further prorogued from Tuesday, the 14th, to some future day, then to meet for the dispatch of business. On Saturday his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accom panied by Colonel Wylde, visited the Polytechnic Institu tion. His royal highness first examined and witnessed with great interest experiments made with Armstrong's hydro-electric machine, after which the dissolving views and the opaque microscope were exhibited ; in the latter his royal highness seemed to take particular interest, and more especially in the representation of her Majesty, from a daguerreotype picture by Beard, placed in an or morlu frame. After taking a general view of the institu tion, his royal highness departed for Windsor. AMERICAN DEBT.—The facetious Sydney Smith has addressed a letter to the Morning Chronicle on the repu diation by Pennsylvania, of its state debt. In the course of it is the following caustic paragraph, " I never meet a Pennsylvanian at aLondon dinner without feeling a disposi tion to seize and divide him—to allot his beaver to one sufferer and his coat to another—to appropriate his pocket handkerchief to the orphan, and to comfort the widow with his silver watch, Broadway rings, and the " London Guide," which he always carries in his pockets, How such a man can sit himself down at the English table without feeling that he owes two or or three pounds to every man in the company I am at a loss to conceive ; he has no more right to eat with honest men than a leper has to eat with clean men. if he has a particle of honour in his composition, he should shut himself up, and say, " I cannot mingle with you ; I belong to a degraded people —I must hide myself; I am a plunderer from Pennsylva nia." eEd from hana° dtd ß h s ebr E ee . serni i r A I l fetlocks.s horseee d n t oit hmnwa Mondaytai n s f r oae abandoned. 1 au T ne a dn u ot n l nyteoidn. after groomfatSse• i r A n ogmAcaucueit much very the l- os exertionshair t t t vain endeavoured to :get him to remain quiet, while the g another attempt was made, but it was ineffectual, and, The gentleman had a son, a child of between three and four years of age, who observed what was going on from a window.

The horse, which stood perfectly quiet, now and then looked behind him, appearing to be mightily pleased with the puny efforts of the little operator.—Somerset Gazelle, Nov. 7,1 LAW INTELLIGENCE.
