FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. FRANCE Some days ago rumours were current of a plot having been discovered in Paris. It. is now tdaccd beyond doubt by the arrests and seizures made by the police. It ap pears that for some time the police have been in pos session of the fact of the existence of two secret societies, one of which was called the " German Committee." The Other composed, of French and foragners, was in con stant communication with the refugees in London, and lead its ramifi•lations in several departments of France. it appears. tnorecver. that an emissary was tracked to London and back to Paris with instructions for the final organisation and proceedings of the societies in question. Matters being ripe for action, the police arrested at once 45 persons at their residences in different parts of the city, and seized their papers, among which it is said important evidence has been found. The dissolution of the Belgian Senate causes some un easiness at Paris. lest it should lead to troubles in that country. and tend to complicate further the dangers of 1852. Of 176 persons arrested in P ar i s 150 are Germans. The Ordre nffirms that with the exception of the open -bit words, the conversation at Claremont between the Due de Ncmours and M. Guiza was Initiate, and accuses the latter of misrepresentation in the exposure which he made in his communication to an English paper. THE TRIALS AT LYONS.—The court martial has deli vered its sentence after a deliberation of six hours. Out of thirty-eight prisoners tried, three are condemned to transportation for life, one to fifteen years' imprisonment, four to ten years, and nine to five years ; nine others are sentenced to imprisonment varying from two years to Of those who did *it months ice are re sentenced to ur to ten yeartrunurisonment )unt 0 The reports from the wine that the appear aliwz departments state ice of the vines is favourable in the south from Nantes to Cette.

The disease Has attacked the fields in the neighbourhood of Paris, but as yet the injury is not serion. Within the last few days it has appeared in the departments of the Marne, the Cate d'Or, and the Vaucluse. It is spreading in the Manche, and fields which eight days since had a healthy appearance are now quite black. —Some sensation was caused at _ by the statement that a shoemaker ie Tahoury had won the grand prize of 100,000 francs in the Lyons lottery. immediately all his friends end acquaintances, together with many persons whom he scarcely knew, hastened to congratulate him, and specu lations were made as to what he would do with his fortune. He was earnestly solicited not to leave the town, and was Sumptuously entertained at the cafe. The day after he quietly informed his friends that he had not gained the prize, but had hoaxed them, in order to receive during twenty•four hours the homage paid to wealth. A female of fashionable appearance, calling herself Madame de V—, hired an apartment a short time since In the ChausseJ d'Antin, and received numerous visits of females, von HOMAGE TO WEALTH Orleans a few days in the R g girls, and wealthy young foreigners. Some English and German families having complained to the police of the goings on of their sons with the women, a search was made in her house at midnight on Tuesday. A number of loretits, actresses, women of the circus, and young girls under age, were found in company with many young men, almost all of whom were Germans, English, or Egyptian. The party were engaged in gambling, and the whole of them were arrested. The young men who had been demanded by their families were given up to them ; the others were dismissed with a lecture ; and Madame de nd her accomplices were Beta cl to be prosecuted by the proeureur of the republic —Galignani and romantic history is afloat in Paris. An English baronet, Sir D-, fell in love with a beautiful Spanish girl who was there with a party of mountebanks. She rejected all offers but marriage, and he married her. So much for the first part of the story.

The King of the Belgians prorogued both chambers on Wednesday, in consequence of the adverse vote to his go vernment on the previous day. This act of his Majesty is supposed to be only preparatory to a dissolution of the Parliament.—Standard. SPAIN Accounts from Madrid of the 20th ult. announce that the Duchess of Montpensier was safely delivered of a daughter on the previous evening, in her palace at Seville. The mother and child were doing well. WHoLesALE ROBBERIES.—A letter from Avila, dated August 17, says that at nine a.m. on that day, six men, well mounted and armed, took possession of a rentorrillo, or small inn, situated fire miles from Avila, on the road to Madrid, and, having made themselves master of it. re. mained there all day, detaining and robbing all who passed, and keeping them tied hand and foot. during their stay. At five p.m. there were forty uersons thus bound and shut up in a small stable, and above one hundred beasts of burden. At sunset they stopped and plundered a private carriage, in which two ladies, two gentlemen, and a child were going from Madrid to Barco de Avila, shutting the parties up in a small room during the operation. Night having at length set in, the robbers made off, with nine horses loaded with the effects of the day's plunder, and, it is supposed at least 2.000 dollars in money. It was gathered from the conversation of the robbers that they had come from Madrid, and that their chief object was to rob the carriage going to Barco de Avila. One of them boasted that he had been sentenced by the tribunals to 106 years' presidio, and had been condemned to death six times. ITALY. TAE PAPAL STATES.—A letter from Rome of the 24th ult. gives an account of the trial of the persons accused of having taken a part in the destruction of the carriages belonging to the cardinals in 1849. The number of accused was upwards of 50. The correspondent says that although the sentences have not been published, there are several condemned to the galleys for life, and many others to the same punishment for a limited tern. EARTHQUAKE IN ITALY.—The Official Gazette of the Two Sicilies of the 24th ult. gives a long and detailed ac count of the disasters caused throughout the kingdom of Naples by the earthquake of the 14th. The shocks ex perienced in the provinces of Terra di Lavoro and Prin cipato Citeriore were without serious results, but the Principato Ulteriore was severely visited, particularly in the districts of Carbonara, Lacedonia, Calitri, and Monte verde. In the latter place a lady, Donna Berenice Bonito, was . buried under the ruins of a house while giving the breast to her infant. At Bonivo, Ascoli, Lucera, and Ssnseverino, and other places of Capitanata, most of the houses were seriously injured, but no lives were lost. In the province of Bari the town of Csnosa has suffered most ; 376 houses are in a tottering condition; two churches, the town-house, and the arch of Diomedes have been consi derably damaged. But the scourge was most severely felt in the province of I3 , silirata, its effects being chiefly concentrated around the Vultore, where the motion lasted 60 seconds ; and, according to the account, it had not quite ceased by the last advices. One-half of Venosa has been destroyed. At Rionero 52 &ad bodies had been dug out of the ruins on the 16th. At Barite the number of dead amounts to 100 ; and the town of Melfi, containing 10,000 inhabitants, is a heap of ruins : 700 persons lost their lives there, and upwards of 200 are severely bruised and wounded. LATEST FROM AMERICA AND CALIFORNIA.- THE CUBAN EXPEDITION. By the steam-ship, Africa, Ryrie, which arrived here on Saturday evening, a few minutes before eleven, we have received advices from New York to the 27th ult. The Africa left that port at noon on that day, and has thus accomplished the passage in ten days and six hours. She brought 831,333 dollars and 73 passengers. The Winfield Scott had arrived at New York with 112,000 dollars. and the steamer Cherokee from Chagres and Havana, with gold dust valued at 1.805,689 dollars. Only about 6,000 dollars was lost by the wreck of the steamer Union, which had on board 300,000 dollars. The intelligence from Cubs will be found elsewhere, and beyond these advices the news by this arrival ros seseses very little interest. A line of steamers from San Francisco to Liverpool is in course of formation by Mr. Vanderbilt of New York, by the Nicaragua ro ite. The steam-ship Northern Light now on the stocks at New York, will run between that port and Liverpool, and the line of communication will then he carried forward to San Juan by the steam-ships Prometheus and Daniel Webster. A screw-propelled war steamer, called the San Jacinto, was about to be launched at New York. It was generally believed that she would be sent to cruise in the Mediter ranean. She was 1.426 tons burthen. The crops in Jamaica have been gathered, and the in crease of sugar over last year's production was2,ooo hogs heads. We have advices from Vera Cruz to the 2d ult. The loss by the hurricane at Tampico was 100,000 dollars. Several hundred adventurers from Upper California had arrived at Le Paz, in order to trade with the inhabitants. COMMERCIAL—The exports of gold from New York still continued large, but the immense receipts from Cali fornia kept the market well supplied. Exchange on Lon don was 110+ to 1101. The price of cotton had advanced for the most part lc. There was an increase in the receipts over last year of 255.997 bales. The exports since Ist Sept., 1850, were 1,973,C63 bales; same time 1849, 1,557,786 bales. The prospect of a good crop the ensuing season had steadily improved, though it was not expected to be so large as was, anticipated four weeks previously. The trade in British manufactured goods had been slightly better; anything, however, but satisfactory to the importers. Trade was exceedingly depressed, considering the season of the year. There had_ been a pretty good demand during the last three or four days for Western State fluur, both for export and home use; but, as the receipts again exceed the demand, and holders generally evince a deiire to realize, prites have remained without improvement, and close steadily. IMPORTANT FROM CUBA.- SHOT! -FIFTY AMERICANS The United States steamer Humboldt, arrived off Cowes, on Thursday, from New York, en route for Havre, with New York dates to the 23d ult, bringing 40 passengers, 100,000 dollars in American gold, for London, and a full cargo for Havre. _ _ Advices from Cuba report the landing of Lopez, off Matanzas, with 450 mca. His situation was critical. At!vices from Havannah, to the 17th ultimo, state that the Spanish war steamer Habanero had captured four boatloads of men, and that 50 . of them (Americans) had been publicly shot, in the presence of 20,000 spectators. The governor. general had sent 800 Mei] to intercept Lopez. The American steamer Falcon. from Chagres, had been fired upon by a Spanish steamer, in error. The 50 Americans who were shot, were tak Key Levesas. Captain Victor Ker and Captain Bralers, attempting to escape with the others, perished. The prisoners were conveyed to the castle of Albares, by the order of the commandant of Marino, General Bastillas. 20,000 persons witnessed their death the day after their capture. brie account says :—" Lopez landed hi 3 troops within fifty miles of Havannah, believing the government troops to have been withdrawn from that spot; he was deceived, however, and a bloody battle ensued."—Another report says that Lopez and his party must perish, if not soon re lieved. The enthusiasm in the United States, in reference to the Cuban affairs, was tremendous. Fears were enter tained of disturbances in New Orleans, and 'the military were held in readiness to act. At New York a great mass oeting had been held, and mobs had paraded the streets banners, bearing the inscription, " THE BLOOD OF AMERICANS CRIES FOP. VENGEANCE The a portion of the Lopez invaders, who )arated from the main body. Their names fifty men shot were are published in. the New York papers. The steam-ship Africa does not bring much additional intelligence to that given above, and at the best the ad vices are only conflicting. The following was received by telegraph :—" The Pizarro and two merchant steamers, with eight hundred troops and sixty horses, left Havana on the morning of the 12th, and attacked Lopez on the 13th, at San Miguel, near Las Pozas. The Pizarro soon afterwards got ashore at Bahia Honda, and Lopez expected to take her, Lopez had advanced to San Diego de Nines, to cut off the retreat of the Spaniards. The people were rising in many places. About five hundred individuals had left Havana to join Lopez, fifty of whom had been taken prisoners. Only seven hundred troops were left in Havana. Other accounts state that Lopez had fought two battles, and was victorious in both, and that the revolu tionists continued to' be successful. It is reported that one entire Spanish regiment had joined him. The fifty men who were executed at Havana were engaged in a flank movement in conjunction with Lopez, when they were captured by the steamer Habanero. The excitement in the United States on the subject was still kept up. Further mass meetings have been held at New York, Philadelphia, and other places, at which reso- Intinns of the most bombastic chacacter were passed in 'avour of the ,pez exF . _ A correspondent of the New York Herald, suggests the ropriety of the United States purchasing the island of Spanish government, provided it can he 100,000,0'.)0 dollar:. from tl ed for a reasc ground that there is g sentiment among the American r . . in favour a revolution in Cuba, and of the estabiishinent of Cu n independence ; and that if the Cuban discontents re- me of the great po - wers of Europe A corre tates tha Tpondont of t t Don Mig Daily News from Germany astein-Rosenberg bout to marry the Princess de a relative of Prince Schwarzen mpertaining to a royal house, is The Cologne Gazette states, on authority of a letter from Hanover of the 27th ult., that the King of Hanover has resolved to pay a visit to England,. contrary to the advice of his physicians and trienas. it is auneo mat one King does not intend to establish a regency during his absence According to a very curious, and by no means .. over- Christian, mendicity law, just published in Bavaria, not the beggars but the givers ere to be punished ; for who soever gives alms, e ither in ready money or in victuals, is to be fined from one upwards to five florins.

Thomas Tierney, one of the Roman Catholic clergymen included in the monster repeal indictment of 180, has just died, at the advanced age of 73. Mr. Tier ney was al near relation of M'Manus, the escaped convict. A. large garden of the tobacco plant, in full growth and bloom, in the suburbs of Clonmel, has been seized on, and torn up from the ground. The value of the entire would be, if.manufactured, near £lOO. _ _ CARRICK.—Oti Tuesday week, Richard Jackson, his son, and six bailiffs, went on the lands of Ballveigh to distrait' for rent. A large party of men attacked and beat them in such a manner as to leave Jackson and his son for dead. DEATH OF A " COSSPIRATOR" OF 1843.—The Free man's Journal announces the death of one of the celebri ties of the memorable year 1843, namely, the Rev. Thomas Tierney, one of the two clergymen included in the monster indictment of the then Attorney General; Mr. A. B. C. Smith. • THE POTATO.—AII " fear and trembling" with which the public mind here was affected with regard to the safety of this crop have nearly ceased, and we are beginning to breathe somewhat more at our ease. The early crop is sate and sound. and the late one continues to hold its colour.—lrish Paper. Two GENTLEMEN MISSING. —On Thursday week, about twelve o'clock, just as the Aghada regatta was about commencing, Mr. Gerrard Howe and Mr. Henry Woodley put out in a small boat from Cork, and have not been seen or heard of since. Serious apprehensions are entertained for their recovery. THE MURDER IN THE QUEEN'S COUNT r.—An account from Maryborough mentions that one of ..e chief actors in the late tragedy has been arrested bs ee police. Of this person's guilt there is said to be not the shadow of a doubt, and he has accordingly been committed to gaol on the capital charge. According to the Kilkenny Journal, the Marquis of Ormonde has, through his agent, Mr. Walsh, pursuant to a second valuation of his property, made a second re duction in his rents in order to adjust them to current prices, and still further reduction is anticipated. Other landlords in the county of Kilkenny have acted iu a similar spirit of kindness. Baron Liebig, the distinguished chemiit, whose re searches in agriculture, in connection with the science he has so successfully cultivated, have acquired him an Euro pean reputation, passed through Dublin on Tuesday, en route to Connemara and the Lakes of Killarney, with Dr. Muspratt, of Liverpool, and Samuel Lover, Esq., from Greenfield Hall, Flintshire, North Wales. ADVANCEMENT OF THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.—A ukase from the Horse Guards has just appeared, which will be highly gratifying to the professors of the noble art of healing. F. M. the Duke of Wellington has or. dained that henceforth the office of military executioner shall be filled from their number. The branding of de serters is to be, in future, performed by the medical offi cers of military prisons.. This is the first step; but no doubt the next will be to relieve the drummers from the duty of flogging the culprits of their regiments, and to trans er it to the regimental surgeons.—Evening Mail. surgeons. — Evening AGRARIAN OUTRAGE.—The following is an extract of a private letter from Cavan :—" On Sunday week last five armed men went to a tenant on the lands of Callanan, in the parish of Mullaghorn, the property of Gerald Dease, E3q., and fired two shots at him, one of which took effect in his legs; they then discharged the remainder of their fire-arms, and, having re-loaded them, walked off towards the county of Leitrim, whence they came. This took place before early mass on Sunday. The tenant had lived on the estate all his life ; but he had lately taken a second farm upon it, out of which another person had been ejected for non-peyment of rent. This is the first outrage we have heard of for a considerable time in this county" Dublin was startled on Wednesday by the circulation of reports respecting the determination of the government not to permit the legislation of a whole session of the recent parliament to lie a dead letter in the statute-book. It was further reported, as a consequence of the resolu tion to assert the supremacy of the law, that the military force in this country is to be augmented by four regiments of infantry from England. Supposing that these reports rested on any solid foundation, the idea of pouring more troops into Ireland, and thereby increasing the public expenditure, is simply preposterous. There is enough, and more than enough, of soldiery in Ireland to preserve peace were fifty prosecutions to be instituted. SABBATH RECREATION.—The favourite pastime of crop-biting has again become fashionable in Tipperary. On Sunday week a party of upwards of thirty men, with their partners, assembled on the lands of Rathnavague, a short distance from the village of Dunkerrin, and soon cut off (not down) a field of corn on the farm of a person named Stapelton,.a tenant of Joseph Griffith, Esp., J.P. They did not remove it as they appeared a little disturbed by a large body of constabulary from Roscrea, whc, under Head-constable Shanahan, were actively engaged in taking a note of the proceedings. Mr. Griffith arrived in the evening, and contilued with a party watching the crop till Monday, when it was removed. Stapelton, it is said, owes several years' rent. PROTESTANT MEETING IN DUBLIN.—The Protestants of Dublin blew a counter-blast to the aggregate meet ng of the 19th ultimo: In accordance with a requisition issued by the Dublin Protestant Association, a meeting was held on Tuesday, in the round room pf ttotunda, for the purpose of adopting " an address to the govern ment on the conduct of the constituted authorities in Dublin, in reference to a so-called ' aggregate meeting of the Catholics,' on the maintenance by the executive of illegal titles, and on the discouragement of every effort made to assert the supremacy of the Queen and of the !awe." The attendance was very numerous, the spacious room being crowded in every part, and a number of re spectable persons were assembled on the platform. . A BLOOMER.—Mrs. Winter, a lady who has distin guished herself on several occasions by her forensic talents, advertises that she will deliver a public argument to-morrow night, in the theatre of the Mechanics' Insti tute, on the right of women to practise as barristers in the superior courts. Being a lady of great self-possession and volubility, we have little doubt that she will maintain her cause "to the utterance." An invidious report has been spread that she will, upon this occrsion, assume the legal costume worn by gentlemen of the long robe; but that is a calumny. Mrs. Winter will not plead in horse hair, until, having eaten her regular dinners in Henrietta-street, she shall be duly called to the bar by the Lard Chancellor.—Dublin Evening Mail of Friday. EMIGRATION FROM LIMERICK.—A new feature In connexion with emigration from this port has just mani fested itself, in the departure on Tuesday, by the emigrant ship, Celeste, for Quebec, of a number of comfortable families, of the farming class, from the neighbourhood of Park, near this city. So fertile and remunerating were the lands of Park considered for the last fifty years, that they were designated " the goldep gardens of the city," yielding, as they did, successive rotation crops (chiefly vegetables and prime feeding for cows) throughout the year. Of 137 passengers, who sailed in the Celeste, 63 were from Park and its neighbourhood, and owing to their experienced habits, there is little doubt success will attend their exertions in the country of I heir adoption. Several young gentlemen from this district are about to emigrate to Australia, where persons of active and industrious habits are sure to succeed with little capital.—Limerick Chronicle. ALTAR DENUNCIATIONS.—The Rev. William Digby, a beneficed clergyman of the established church, residing in the county of Longford, states, in a letter to the Even. ing Mail, that in consequence of his expostulatiens with some of the peasantry for taking part in a procfssion in honour of the feast of the assumption, or, as it is called, " Lady-day in harvest," he was on the following Sunday, to use his own words, " Cursed in the chapel, tOgether with all belonging to me, by the priest, who, in a very excited state, as I have been by many informed, expressed his surprise that such a person as I should have been per mitted so long to remain in the parish ! This denuncia tion from the altar has been followed up last night by several notices having been put up, which were , found by the police this morning, threatening with death any per son who should work with me, and signed, Molly Maguire.' As yet no violence has ensued, and, notwith stand' l• • - • - ..olng this notice, I had a large number of reapers, most of them Roman Catholics, working for me to-day." POLITE LITERATURE.—A Tipperary priest, the Rev. John Ryan, writing to the editor of a local paper upon the question of feting the two county iiieinbers (Messrs. Scully and Maher), concludes his epistle with a flourish to the following effect :—" I am right glad that the 'Eccle siastical Titles Bill' has become the law of the land. This bill or law will work miracles in favour of the reli gion of St. Patrick and the Gospel of Cbrist, the son of God. It will prove to be 'Abe beginning of the end.?

This abandoned mis creant, John Russell, when he undeservedly obtained the premiership of these islands, forgot, and still seems to forget, that there is a God in heaven to whom, before any and every ether being, he is, and will be, accountable." A RUNAWAY BRTHEGROOM.---NOt a little amusement of that kind which is dear to the gossips of a quietcoun- try town was afforded in Lurgan, yesterday week, by the sudden exit of a bridegroom from the civil altar of matri mony, his pursuit, capture, and ultimate committal to the connubial bonds. On the day stated, a bridal party, in fi,ll trim simi sill_ With the excention of one of the " ci pals,' prepared for the due celebration of the ceremony, ammbled in the office of the regitrar t and the worthy ead with these legal offices which the wisdom of our legislators has pronounced as effectual as the religious ordinance itself, when to the amazement of the friends, and the distraction of the fair fiancee, the bridegroom suddenly . "bolted," and made off. No sooner was his otject made evident to the bewildered senses of the party than it was determined he should not be allowed to shirk his engagement if possible; and accordingly he was chased through the streets by a motley crowd of friends and strangers, men, women, and even children, joining in the " tally-ho," which made the welkin ring. No criminal, however, pursued by the emis saries of the law, ever took to his heels with greater alac rity, and the "chase" succeeded at length in obtaining tetnporary refuge in a, tallow-chandler's store, amongst the implements and material of one o(the most savoury of our native manufactures. His retreat being invaded by the crowd he resolved at least to sell, not his life, but his liberty, dearly, and accordingly he ensconced himself be hind a large vat filled with the hot and greasy liquid of which candles aro made, and began most liberally to ladle out its contents upon the persons of his pursuers.
