The detention in the arrival of the Great Britain was occasioned by the breaking of the arms of her screw, the particulars of which we gave in our town edition. The extraordinary express in anticipation of the The steam-ship Great Western, which left this port on Bombay mail of the 15th of October, reached London the 11th October, arrived out at New York on the morn ing of the 28th ult., the day the Great Brit ain sailed. on Friday afternoon.

The Prince of Prome assembled forces, and was preparing to depose the bloody tyrant Tharowaddie, who has already caused several of those whom he suspected to be executed. Amongst the deaths may be mentioned that of Schah Zemaun, of Cabul, whose threats of invading India filled Asia with hopes and fears 48 years ago. He was after wards dethroned by his brother and blinded, and lived many years a dependent on British generocity. He died of cholera at Loodiana last month. The intelligence from China extends to the Ist of September. It is principally confined to the dissatis faction of the colonists at Hong Kong, who complain of being treated with injustice, and who have appealed for redress to the home Government. The fall of rain was very scant this season in the Bombay presidency, and apprehensions of a famine were entertained. The Government Railway Commission had returned from Burdv'an, and a bridge over the Hooglyat, or near Calcutta, was talked of. The railway company was also fairly under way. Mr. Stephenson was to leave Calcutta about the end of the month, and proceed over the whole of the line to the north-west provinces by way of Mirza pore and Benares, Agra, Delhi, Kurnaul, and the other stations, to Ferozpore, returning by the Gauzes to Cal cutta, where he was expected early in March. sew - ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA. The Royal Mail steam-ship Hibernia arrived in the river on Tuesday morning, soon after 11 o clock, with advices from New York to the 31st ult. inclusive, being three days later than those brought by the Great Britain. The Hibernia left Boston on the Ist inst. and Halifax on the sth, at seven P If, during a thick fog, touched on the southernmost point of Cape Race, was immediately backed off, and, as a precautionary measure, taken into St. Johns Newfoundland, when it was found she was very little injured, and in two days she proceeded on her voyage. This of course sufficiently accounts for the delay in the arrival of the vessel. The greatest credit is given by the passengers to the commander and his crew, for their seamanlike conduct. It was rumoured that Mr. Packenham, the British Mi nister at Washington, finding there is little hone of ad justing the Oregon question, has proposed to leave the whole territory in its present position for twenty years, under the joint protection of England and the States, and with the stipulation that at the end of that period its then inhabitants may attach themselves to either country, or erect themselves into an independent sovereignty as they may prefer. The New York papers hope that this ru mour will prove authentic. We don't believe there is any ground for it. The wish is, no doubt, on the part of our transatlantic neighbours father to the thought. Much excitement still existed relative to the Mormons, who are represented as " squatting" down in large num bers in various parts of the country and helping them selves to cattle and any moveable property that they met with. The New York Courier publishes a letter from the Hon. Caleb Cushing, their late Minister to China, rela tive to the claim of English bondholders upon California, in which he states that the hypothecation of 100,00 O,COO of acres of land in California, Texas. Chihuahua, New Mexico, and Senora, is permanent until the wholedebt be paid, and the right of locating the deferred bonds in California, Texas, Chihuahua, and New Mexico, also con tinues until these are paid, it being a condition inserted in the bonds.

ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN The steam-ship Great Western, B. R. Mathews, com mander, which left the wharf, New York, at twenty mi nutes past two on the 6th instant, reached this port on Friday morning, at two o'clock, having made the passage All accounts from Pennsylvania concur i❑ the opinion 1 that the interest on the state debt, which falls due on the Ist of February, will be promptly paid. A. dreadful fire has occurred at the Dardanelles, by which 600 houses, shops, &c., besides two mosques, a synagogue, and a public bath, have been destroyed. An edict was promulgated on the 23rd ult., by order of Mehemet Ali, prohibiting the exportation of grain or pulse from the ports of Egypt. A grand scheme is talked of in Holland, being no less than the draining up of the Zuyder Zee, the whole of which was dry laud a few centuries ago. The police of Brussels, says the Brussels Gazette, last week made a seizure, at the shop of a charcutier, of 70 kilogrammes of horse flesh, in a state of putrefacti , n, which had been prepared for making Bolognasausages. A letter from Christiansand, in Norway, of the 26th ult., say s :—During the violent tempests which have pre vailed on our coast, without interruption, for more than a fortnight, more than eleven pilots have lost their lives in attempting to board vessels in want of their aid. THE POTATO CROP IN CANADA.—The American pa pers publish a government order, dated Montreal, Octo ber 18th, authorising the import of potatoes, free of duty, from any other British possession in north America, in consequence of the failure of the potato crop in that pro vince. in thirteen days six hours. She brought fifty-too pas sengers, a list of whom we subjoin. The relations between the United States and England formed still the great topic of conversation in all circles. On all bands the question was asked, what would be the• temper of the President's message, and of the debates in the approaching meeting of Congress. The Union—a newspaper published at Washington, under the auspices of the President and his cabinet—maintains, in the most unequivocal terms, the absolute right of the United States to the whole of the Oregon territory, down to the Russian line ; and the New York Herald states, that the manner in which the declaration is made, reveals that it is a posi tive, though informal, communication of the President and his cabinet, previous to the opening of Congress. The Herald then continues as follows The present government of the United States, then, has fairly taken up its position on the Oregon question, declaring it to have the best title to that territory, from the Mexican boundary on the south, to the Russian line on the north, thus excluding the British claim to any portion of that region. Such a declaration brings our government, it will be at once perceived, into immediate collision with Eng land, and the result no one can foretell. The interest and importance therefore of the coming session of Congress and of the Parliament of England are increased to an ex tent not easily to be exaggerated. Indeed, nest within the last quarter of a century have we had a crisis at which more interest has attached to the proceedings of the legis lative bodies of both countries. We are in the commence ment of a new era. Daily the nations of Europe are undergoing change, and forming new relations. France and England, former rivals on land and water, are now united in the closest brotherhood, and appear to be alarm ed at the progress of the United States, and the influence which this country is destined to exert upon the destinies of the world hereafter. Every thing is in the womb of the future. We must wait with patience and fear on both sides of the water." Quotations for stocks had declined slightly. Sterling exchange closed firm at St to 9 per cent. premium. The demand on the morning the steamer sailed had been very good, hut the rates had fallen off since the previous day about per cent. There had been a decline in prices at the New York cotton market since the arrival of the Ca ledonia, and the market was very inactive. All was quiet at Texas. Emigration from the States and Europe was increasing, and the culture of cotton and sugar was spreading. C kN ADA.—There is no particular news of importance from Canada. The health of the Governor-General con tinues comparatively good, and he regularly attends to his official duties. The influx of emigrants into the province has this year been large, and the increased wants of Eng land, in the shape of breadstnffs, will still further increase the arrivals next year. Intelligence from Port-au-Prince to the 17th of October had been received. On the 12th the President issued a decree prohibiting all relations with the insurgents of the eastern portion of the island. The ports and shore of the East are declared closed to foreign commerce. All ships engaged in contravention of this order are to be confis cated, and all persons prosecuted as smugglers. Every Haytian engaged in relations of commerce or other rela tions with the insurgents is declared an accomplice in the revolt. Foreigners resident in the republic for a like offence shall be banished, and shall lose besides the right of patent for every establishment allowed them in the island. Letters and merchandise from the proscribed district, whether in Haytian or foreign vessels, shall be confiscated to the profit of the State. Several merchants bad been ordered to leave Port-au-Prince instanter, and a report prevailed on the 16th of October that all French men were also ordered to leave. The President had or dered that there be no more executions, and had per- KEEPING THE WORD OF PROMISE TO THE EAR —An elderly Portuguese lady, having pledged herself to make a pilgrimage to a distant shrine, barefoot, her friends persuaded her that fatigue would prove fatal. She per sisted, however, in going to the shrine, and in going barefoot; but she went in a sedan chair! THE PASHA AND THE PORTRAIT.--The portrait of Queen Victoria was presented to the Pasha, at Cairo, on the 24th ult., by the British Consul, Colonel Barnett. That functionary was met at the entrance of the citadel by an entire regiment under arms, and Artim Bey and Edhem Bey introduced him to Mehemet Ali, who stood up to receive the picture, and raised it to his head as a mark of respect. The gift of Her Majesty appeared to have produced a deep impression on the Egyptians. THE POTATO CROP IN THE STATES.—The New York Herald has the following relative to the potato disease : —" In all those sections where the disease prevailed last year, little or none of it has been experienced the present year, or at least we hear no complaint. In Canada, Nova Scotia, and perhaps a part of Maine, where it did not go last year, it has this year been quite destructive. The brought has made the crop a short one in most parts of ' the country, but not the potato disease." THE BRITISH TROOPS AG AIN REPULSED AT NEW ZEA LAND.—The Indian Mail brings also news of a third re pulse of the British force by the New Zealanders, in which Lieutenant Philpotts, of her Majesty's ship Hazard, and Captain Grant, of her Majesty's 58th Regi ment, were killed. Lieutenant Beattie, of the 99th Regi ment, died of his wounds. Tha action took place on the Ist of July, in an attempt to take John Heki's pah by storm. The force was commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Despard ; it consisted of nearly 500 men, one-fourth of whom were either killed or wounded. AN AMERICAN MANUFACTURING CITY.—The ten manufacturing companies of Lowell consume annually 12,000 tons of coal, 3,070 cords of wood, 75,549 gallons of sperm, and 19,000 of other oil. Of the whole popula tion of Lowell, 6,320 females and 2,915 males, togethtr 9,235, are employed as operatives, either in tho mills or connected with other mechanical employments. There are 33 mills and about 650 houses belonging to the cor porations. The capital invested in manufacturing and mechanical enterprises is 12,000,000 dollars. There are made in Lowell every week 1,459,150 yards of cloth, or 75,868,000 yards per year. The cotton worked up every year is 61,100 bales. The printed calicoes made annually amount to 14,000,000 yards. The payment annually amounts to more than 1,500,000 dollars, and the annual profit of this immense business has been estimated at the same amount, or at about 121 per cent. WEST INDIES.—The 'West India papers received by the Thames give a cheering view of the prospect of affairs in those localities. The addresses of the leading autho rities of Jamaica and Barbadoes on the opening of the Legislative Assemblies both refer with satisfaction to the position and progress of trade in their districts. The sugar crop at Jamaica is said to have been good, and the result of Coolie labour was, as far as at present tested, beneficial to the estates on which it had been employed. Railways were still attracting attention in the West Indies, not only in respect to those started for the im provement of conveyance in Jamaica, but also in behalf of those connected with Barbadoes, Trinidad, and Demerara. According to the address delivered at the opening of the Legislative Council of Barbadoes, the treasury of that island is in an easy and comfortable condition. A want of rain bad been experienced, which p called forth some complaints from the lanters. M m mp ONTE VlDEo.—lo n rtant advices from Monte Video are published in the Toulon lournals, of the 16th instant It is stated that the Duconedic, which bad arrived there positive intelligence that abandon the siege of that fromorib e Ablaodnte been Video, compelled city. Rosas had declared war against France and England ; and it was reported that he had already taken possession of several trading vessels of the two countries. Since the arrival of the Ducouedic a report has been current in Toulon that Admiral Leine, who is in com mand of the French squadron in the Plata, has sent to require from the Govern ment a reinforcement , of ships, s w a i y t s h , v A e i r r a . l Atiheobudseavnidne, ltroopslate English d'Affaires at Buenos. The Globe, of Saturday, Ayres, is arrived at Paris. He has had an audience of M. Guizot. It is reported that Mr. Mandeville is authorized by itosas to make proposals to the French and English Governments for the adjustment of the present troubles in the Rio de la Plata." THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD PIRACY.—The Mauritius papers of the beginning of September give a report of the trial of James Dixon, master; John Thorpe, first mate; Benjamin Brittany, second mate ; John Watson, deserter from the St. Helena Regiment ; and two deserters from her Majesty's steamer Penelope, for having feloniously and piratically run away with - the brig Comet, from St. Helena. They were found guiltyjat a special Court of Admiralty, and sentenced — the master and the soldier to transportation for life, the two mates to 15 years' transportation, and the other two to three years' imprisonment, with bard labour. TRA.CTARIANISM IN CANADA.—The Rev. W. Carus Wilson says in a letter to the London Record, that " the Bishop of Toronto is resolved to carry out his Tractarian principles with a high hand. The College at Cobourg is specially designed to educate young men for the ministry in his diocese. The bishop has given out, that no stu dents, failing to come up to his standard of apostolical succession. baptismal regeneration, &c. bcc., shall remain there ; and the only three who possessed sound evangeli cal principles have been expelled. Two, indeed, retired before the sentence was issued, and the third was dis missed by the bishop. He is a young man of no common promise." DISCOVERY OF A NEW DIAMOND MINE IN BRAZIL. —A large number of inhabitants, speculators. adventurers, and even sugar planters, are emigrating with their slaves to the province of Bahia, where is situate an immense diamond mine, the produce of which is incredible. It was discovered in October, 1844, by a slave, who in 20 days had gathered 700 carats of diamonds, and carried them a considerable distance for sale. Arrested and im prisoned, the slave obstinately refused to disclose the locus in qu o. They therefore let him loose, and put a number of intelligent Indians upon his " trail." The latter pur sued him for several days, and found him working for the extraction of the diamonds not far from Caxoeira, the second city of Bahia. The population which only amounted in August, 1843, to 8000 souls, distributed over three villages, was, at the end of July, upwards of 30,000, and on the increase. The two English steamers of May and June brought about 5,500,000 francs worth of dia monds from this mine. During the months of June and July the mine yielded neariy 1,450 carats per day. It is estimated to have produced, during the six months of its working, nearly 400 ,000 Portuguese carats(aboutlB,3oo, ooo francs) of which three-fifths were sent to England, another fifth to France and Hamburgh, whilst the last fifth awaits buyers at Rio de Janeiro and Bahia• Not all the lapidaries in Europe would be sufficient to polish only one-half of the produce of Sincura mine ; thus a deprecia tion of that value is expected, which gives rise to the most hazardous speculations. Brazil, which has the pri vilege of supplying the trade with diamonds, did not pro duce annually, before the discovery of the Sincura mine, more than six or seven kilogrammes, which cost more than a million for the expenses of working ; thus the price, even in the rough state, has always been very high. Hitherto, no very large diamonds have been found at , Sincura. ItOMANISM IN AMERICA. A new, but in these days, we are happy to say, not an unprecedented, movement has manifested itself among the Roman Catholics of Cincinnatti. We learn that a church has been organised in that rising and flourishing city of the west, in direct and avowed opposition to the domination of the Pope of Rome and the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church. A number of the , most in telligent and influential adherents to the Roman Catholic faith in that region have associated themselves together for the purpose of worshipping the God of their fathers according to the prescribed form and ceremonial of their creed, but in perfect independence of the Papal see and of all the dignitaries generally recognised by the profes sors of that faith in the United States. All allegiance to the " successor" of St. Peter located in the "eternal city" is thrown off by these Reformers, and the authority of bishops and priesthood is most independently set aside. The distinctive tenets of the Roman Catholic Church they retain, for the present, and a duly accredited priest is to minister for them ; but with popes, bishops, and hierarchy they will have nothing to do. Taking this movement in connexion with the Ronge movement in Germany it be comes deeply important. In both countries the spirit of freedom from spiritual despotism has emanated from within the church, and in America it is thought it will spread ral idly amongst the Roman Catholics. The New York paper from which we quote gives this reason for thinking that it will not stop where it has commenced : " Hitherto." it says, " the Catholic Church in this country has adhered to its allegiance to Rome, chiefly because the supplies of clergy and not unfrequently of money—the sinews of religious as well as of physical warfare—come from abroad. But as soon as the Catho lics in this country are wealthy enough to found colleges, and manufacture priests, and build churches, and support their own seminaries cf learning, and raise up their own ministers to serve at the altar, they will universally ab solve themselves from their allegiance to Rome, and or ganise their whole ecclesiastical system on perfectly inde pendent principles. The natural and inevitable tendency of the republican institutions of this country is to create in all departments of human life a spirit of freedom and independence. We see this every day in our scientific institutions, in our literary associations, in all our unions of men for any pur pose, and last, not least, in our religious :organisations. Thus it has been with the clergy of all the Protestant churches • and now, at last, the spirit of independence d freedom—of rebellion, if you please—against any. ing like spiritual despotism, manifest itself in the Ro an Catholic church. _ _ Thus it would appear that the singular movement re cently commenced in Germany, under the leadership of lionge, has been communicated to the United States. We doubt not that once begun it will go on. It is one of those impulses of human nature that must proceed to a successful issue. It is one of those periodical uprisings of humanity against despotic authority—one day hurling a tyrannical king—another day deposing a spiritual despot —from his throne of oppression." A YANKEE PUBLIC MEETING A meeting of the democratic republican electors of New York was held upon the Oregon question a night or two before the Hibernia sailed ; and as a specimen of the mcds in which they conduct business on the other side of the Atlantic, and of the order and harmony which seem to prevail among them, we shall just take a few ex tracts from the reports : The chairman, amid great confusion and uproar, pro ceeded to state the object of the meeting. Here a low, ruffianly-looking individual pushed himself forward on the platform, and took his seat beside the chairman. Captain Rynders immediately seized the offender, and, in the true democratic spirit, coolly knocked him down. (Great confusion, hisses, ;and yells.) The used-up in dividual shouted that he was a full-blooded democrat. Captain Rynders : Well, then, behave like one—that's all we want. (Hurrahs, shouts, and deafening cheers. Go it Rynders—show your authority—hit him again, old boy,) were among the exclamations which this patriotic sentiment called forth. Voice iu the crowd: I move that Captain Rynders make a speech. Captain Rynders : Shut up : I shan't. Here a very fat, greasy-lookinz fellow, with well plastered soap locks, called for three cheers for Mike Walsh. Edward Straing attempted to make a speech, but in consequence of the uproar, and cries of "put him out" —" stop his mug"—" hurrah"—boots," bcc., was obliged to desist. A fight now took place on the platform—several men got on the reporters' table, and their object seemed to be to ascertain who could yell the loudest. Three groans for Tilden were then called for and given. The vast hall was in a state of commotion—rows, fights, and yells, the order of the night. Hats were knocked off and crushed—noses smashed—eyes blackened and shins bruised. A ma❑ in a blue coat on the stand, now cried, " Til den's nomination's carried." Fat man in the crowd : You be d—d—you're a custom house officer—go to h-11. Another voice : Three cheers for Tilden. Fat man, who had now lost his hat: Three groans. Where' my hat? (Laughter, his es, and shouts.) Barn-burner : I move we pull the chairman down. Captain Rynders again attempted to make a speech, but failing to obtain a hearing, said, " he did'nt care a d—n for anybody." The chairman read a series of resolutions. After one of the greatest scenes of confusion we ever witnessed, during which several rows occurred, some body said the resolutions were adopted. The cries for Walsh were now renewed from all quarters. Mike Walsh now obtained a hearing, and was greeted by tremendous applause, shouting, waving of hats, caps, and handkerchiefs. At great length he spoke of the affected sympathy for the hard-working man displayed by " rich loafers," who were ever ready about election times to step up and affectionately shake by the hands any poor man who had a vote, though the wind might be play ing hide and go seek through the tattered seat of his breeches ; but, asked Mike, when did one of these nabobs rolling in luxury, the fruit of the sighs, groans, and suf ferings, and even premature deaths of the poor men, think of inviting his ragged " friend" to dinner. Three cheers were then given for Mike Walsh, and amid shouts, yells, confusion, and several small rows: the meeting broke up. THE COURT 4- FASHIONABLE WORLD.

On Tuesday last, Sir Francis Hopkins, Bart., of Roch fort, Mullingar, was shot as he returned home after dining with a neighbour. O'Donnell, who escaped from Mayo after committing a horrible murder some months since, bas been captured in America. The Earl of Devon, through his under agents, has for warded £2,000 worth of rice for the relief of his Irish tenantry. In North Tipperary, last week, not less than a dozen of violent outrages were committed by armed parties be tween Roscrea, Nenagh, Killaloe, and Toomavara. The assembled Romish Bishops at Maynooth have passed a resolution condemnatory of the academical edu cation scheme, and " have further resolved to forward to the Holy See a statement of the reasons which induced them to pronounce the act dangerous to faith and morals.' Five of them were in favour of obtaining the opinion of the Pope in the first instancet SACRILEGE ! A miscreant, in the dress, and assuming the appearance of a " Lay Brother," took up Lis station in the front of Clarendon-street Chapel on Sunday last, armed—with a plate for the reception of the " Tribute ;" and being more eloquent in action—for he uttered no sound, and more ac tive in his motions—for he was the first to approach every new comer—than his associates, it was soon manifest by the appearance of his platter that success attended his mission of charity and love. Envy was generated in the minds of some of the rival collectors; and, whether to satisfy an idle curiosity, or with a view of emulating the example set, one of them asked the name of the ward which boasted of so zealous an agent ? The " Lay Bro ther" coolly replied that be did not appear there in a representative capacity, having a wholesome horror of the provisions of the " Convention Act" before his eyes, that he was "collecting on his own account;" and, "suiting the action to the word," he instantly emptied the contents of the plate into the capacious side-pocket of a long black surtout, and bid defiance to the threats of those by whom he was surrounded, and who appeared shocked at his blasphemous exemplification of the " Church appropria tion clause" thus reduced to practice. Straightway the " miscreant" was dragged off to the Head Police Office, from whence he was transmitted for examination to the magistrates in College-street; Clarendon Chapel, where the alleged robbery bad been committed, being in that division. On being brought up, Mr. Tyndall, the sitting magistrate, asked " who is the prosecutor in this case, and what is the nature of the charge?" Some hesitation having been evinced, the prisoner took advantage of the silence, and became on the instant his own prosecutor, and with all the simplicity and all the force of truth, pre ferred the following charge against himself : " Please your worship, I wanted a few pounds for a particular purpose; and not choosing to work, and not being inclined to earn it, I thought it would be a very handy way just to go and hold a plate at Clarendon street Chapel and collect it for myself from such as were willing to give it voluntarily. The people were very kind and very good. I made no misrepresentation, nor any re presentation at all—having never opened my lips. What I got, I put in my pocket, and there it is this moment. I had as good a right to collect a trifle for myself, as the others had to collect for themselves, or for Mr. O'Con nell, or Mr. Anybody else ; and I contend for it that I committed no crime whatsomever." Mr. Tyndall having asked the parties who brought the "miscreant" in custody what they had to say to the state ment he had made, and they admitting that his story was perfectly true, the worthy Alderman declared that he had no jurisdiction in the matter, for that no violation of the law had been committed, and that therefore the man must be discharged. And the money ? He must keep that too, continued the worthy Alderman (all Aldermen are " worthy" by courtesy) unless some one proves a legal right to it. No such right being proven, the " miscreant" walked off scott free, with the trifle of change in his poc ket. There's no use in " Bell, book, and candlelight," if this fellow don't catch it. We beg to assure our readers that the case is literally true in every particular.—Dublin Mail. MODE OF PRESERVING POTATOES The commissioners, appointed by government to en quire into the potatoe crop in Ireland, and to devise a mode of its preservation from the ravages of the disease, with which it is affected, have laid down a number of cu rative processes which they recommend to be adopted by the farmers or peasantry. A great portion of these, how ever, pre-suppose the possession by them of means and conveniences far beyond their reach ; and the remainder, like all the crude prescriptions of speculative florists, upon subjects widely removed from those which usually occupy their philosophic cogitations, have been proved by practi cal experience to be positively hurtful. Amongst these are the use of packing stuff in storing potatoes, which has in• creased the rot wherever it has been applied ; pitting without ventilation, the use of bog water, peati soil, &c. The only efficaceous preservative has been found to be a plan suggested, at a meeting held at Enniskillen, by Dr. Halken, which has succeeded in every instance where it has been properly tried, and may already be said to have placed in safety the crop of the county Cavan, where it has been adopted. The plan consists in constructing the pits, with air chimneys at the tup, and flues through them by which a complete ventilation is effected, and the temperature of the potatoes stored in them brought to that of the atmosphere. These pits require, however, to be strictly watched, and on the appearance of any partial dis ease, the potatoes must be re-sorted to prevent its spread and re-pitted. It is also recommended that, previous to being thus stored, the potatoes should have a small slice taken off each, it having been discovered that wherever, in taking up, any have been cut by the spade, such pota toes have invariably kept sound. Another plan, applicable to storage within doors, has been discovered by Dr. Babington, and proved efficaci ous. It consists in placing alternate layers of turf and potatoes, laid in such a manner as to conduct the air in flues through the entire pile which may be raised to any convenient height. This plan has the advantage of being accessible to the house or shopkeeper, as well as the farmer. 41. O'CONNELL AS A LANDLORD The public cannot have failed to have observed the feeling of mingled uneasiness and rage with which the " Commissioner" of the Times has been pursued in his useful labours in Ireland by O'Connell and the Repeal party. No language has been thought foul enough—no falsehood gross enough—to he used in the effort to de fame his character and to injure his testimony as to the condition of that ill-used country. The following pas sage from this gentleman's letter, from Kerry, will per haps account for the agitator and his allies wishing him at the bottom of the Red Sea. They foresaw that he might come to Derrynane in the course of his travels, and, with his usual impartiality, describe the condition of Daniel O'Connell's own happy and prosperous tenantry " I never could divine the reason of the hubbub of the O'Connell's—of their screeching and cackling and hissing,' when the neglectful conduct to his tenantry of the Marquis of Conyngham was exposed. Why should men, who are eternally prating about absentee landlords and neglectful landlords, and who are ever using the des titution and discontent of the poor tenants as a means of abuse of English legislation, fall foul of me for exposing a marked instance of neglect, whilst, at the same time 1 pointed out the benefits which had accrued to tenants from the attention and encouragement bestowed on them by Lord George Hill, a neighbouring 1 mdlord ? But my eyes are open now. The murder is out.' It was another instance what that clever fellow of Tralee calls waggery.' There was an apprehension that the turn to have their decent feathers plucked off might come round to the oc cupiers of Derrynane, and hence the cackling and screech ing and hissing of the flock of O'Connella, and Brodericka, and Brownes. At and in the neighbourhood of C ahirci veen and Derrynane Mr. Daniel O'Connell possesses an income from land of £3OOO a-year. A small portion of this is his own fee-simple property ; another small por tion he rents on lease renewable for ever, and about two thirds of the property he holds on ten minable leases, under the Dublin College, Mr. Hartop, Mr. Bland, and Lord Cork. He is, in fact, for two-thirds of his pro perty a middleman, living on a profit rent derived from small tenants : and we will sea presently how he manages them. The bulk of this property is hold on a lease for his own life. With his private affairs, however, I have nothing to do, nor will I meddle with them, though I had queer stories enough related to me. I have no business with anything but the manner in which, by his treatment of his sub-tenants, be benefits or injures his countrymen and the country. A gentleman named Butler, residing at Waterville, mentions a lease of land, let by his father, to the father of Mr. Daniel O'Connell. When old Mr. O'Connell died there were not 12 tenants upon it, and in 1841, when the land came out of lease (15 years afterwards), there were 54 tenants upon it. (Ib. 895.) His general character as a landlord or mid dleman is, that any tenant who applies to him may have leave to erect a cabin where he pleases. He permits sub division to any extent. This wins a certain degree of popularity ; but the land under lease by him is, in conse quence, in the most frightful state of over-population. The competition for land is, therefore, intense, and they will offer almost any rent for the most miserable fragment of land. In this condition they are left in a total state of neglect. They have no agricultural schools ; no encou ragement ; none to lead or to guide them ; and the poor creatures are left to subdivide their land and to multiply, and to blunder on, until, in the words of Mr. Keane Ma bony, their principal feature is distress.' (Ib. 898.) " I entered several of the cottages at a place called Derrynane Beg, within a mile from Derrynane. The distress of the people was horrible. There is not a pane of glass in the parish, nor a window of any kind in half the cottages. Some have got a hole in the wall for light, with a board to stop it up. In not one in a dozen is there a chair to sit upon, or anything whatever in the cottages beyond an iron pot and a rude bedstead with some straw on it ; and not always that. In many of them the smoke is coming out of the doorway, for they have no chimneys. In one that I entered the door was taken off the hinges and made a table of, by placing it on two turf-baskets. Unaided, and unguided, the poor creatures are in the lowest degree of squalid poverty I have yet seen, and this within sight of Derrynane-house. As one of the tenants told me, ' they were eating one another's heads off, and if they did not get some assistance they would starve and the gaols would be full.' Wretched as are the tenants on the Marquis of Conyngham's property in Donegal, their conditibn is fully equalled by the condition of the tenantry of Derrynane. The hissing and the screeching ' is thus fully accounted for. In future, however, it will be re membered that amongst the most neglectful landlords who are a curse to Ireland, Daniel O'Connell ranks first —that on the estate of Daniel O'Connell ate to be found the most wretched tenants that are to be seen in all Ire land. If a middleman is execrated, as an useless drone who squeezes the very life's-blood out of his miserable tenants, the name of Daniel O'Connell will not be for gotten. Though not the worst among middle men, he lives by the system." UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL NEWS. ORFORD. — The following degrees were last week con ferred :—Masters of Arts—C. W. W. Wynn and C. P.

Faber, M.A., late Fellew of University College, Oxford, and Rector of Elton, near Stilton, Hants, has resigned his preferment, and con formed to the Roman Catholic Church. We understand that at the recent opening of the church of St. Saviour, in Leeds, an address was numerously signed by the clergy present, declaratory of sentiments adverse to the Church of Rome, but that a portion of the clergy, including Dr. Pusey, refused to sign the address. A petition is now signing at Leeds by clergymen officiating in churches "built in the confident expectation that suitable endowments would be provided for them by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners," to whom the petition is ad lressed, but which endowments have not been provided. The petitioners pray that " the Board will be pleased to devise some plan for the endowment of churches thus unhappily situated ; they venture to hope, that, should no other source be found available for so urgent a case, her Majesty's Government, at the earnest solicitations of the Episcopal Bench, will see the pro priety and the necessity of applying to Parliament in behalf of these churches, which possess claims to endow ment of a very peculiar nature, and no way inferior to those which were last session conceded to the Roman Catholics of Ireland." RAILWAY INTELLIGEA CE. Andover Canal has been sold to the Manchester and Southampton Railway Company for 30,0001. Six railway surveyors were [convicted of a trespass at Brentford, on Monday, and fined £6, for having entered a gentleman's grounds without permission. A cargo of oranges landed at Southampton was sent up by railway last week, and sold in London, within a few hours after the vessel's arrival, thus saving five days in the channel voyage. It is stated, hy a correspondent in the Railway Record, that Mr. Jackson, of Birkenhead, and his copartners, have now offered their bargain of Hungerford or Charing cross Bridge to the Central Terminus Railway Company. The London Gazette of Saturday consisted of 584 pages, being occupied, for the most part, with notices of new railways intended to be applied for in the approach ing session of parliament. The London and Birmingham directors have given no tice of their intention of applying to parliament for a new metropolitan terminus, to come down to the late Fleet Prison, passing be Hatton-garden. George Bott, a breaksman on the Leiceister and Swan nington Railway, aged 22, and upon the point of marriage, had both legs so seriously injured on Monday last, by falling from a train upon the rails, that it was found ne cessary to amputate both limbs immediately. WHAT NEXT ?—A company has been formed for the construction of a railway between Liverpool and Man chester, for the transit of laden ships from the former to the latter town, and to construct docks in Manchester at the railway terminus. The contractors for the Liverpool and Bury Railway, in sinking, a shaft at Walton, had hardly sunk thirty feet when the flow cf water was so great that they had to de sist until a canal was cut for carrying it off to the neigh bouring brook. A railway surveyor, named Charles Frow, has been committed to Leicester Gaol, for threatening to shoot one of Lord Harborough's men, when warned off his lordship's land, which he was surveying for the Notting ham and Peterborough Company. He had a pistol loaded with powder and shot. It is said to be the intention of the Great Western to apply for parliamentary powers to carry a new line to Bir mingham on the broad gauge, and that the London and Birmingham have it in contemplation to lay down another set of rails to accommodate their increasing and prospec tive traffic. The Sussex Advertiser records an accident which hap pened to the son of poor persons living at the Teville Cottages. Having rode to Lancing on a train of wag gons on the Worthing line, he jumped off while the train was in motion, arid, falling with the back of his head against a wheel of one of the waggons, broke his neck, and died almost immediately. RAILWAYS V. PASSPOILTS,—The head of the passport- office at Ostend, says The Times, has announced thtit, in future, persons entering Belgium, either by that route or ; by Antwerp, will not be required to produce passports. This remission is understood to have arisen from the dif- 1 ficulty of keeping up the old regulations, now that tra velling by railway has come so much into use • and hence a further relaxation of it may soon be looked for. The Leeds Stock Exchange have passed a resolution that transactions in shares which do not yet exist, if the undertaking shall not be carried out in accordance with the prospectus, but shall be amalgamated with some other undertaking, so as no longer to be the same project an nounced in the prospectus, shall be regarded as inopera tive and void. The benefit of this regulation, and the equity of it, we certainly do not see. The incidents arising out of the surveys now so rife throughout the length and breadth of the land, are many. They assume all kinds of aspect, from gay to grave. From Lincolnshire we hear of the kidnapping and bri bery of surveyors, the competition for the prize being as keen and hot as in the days of rotten boroughs. The Lincoln and Retford line has lost one of its chief survey ors. He had been bribed by a competitor to decamp. He was pursued and taken in the fact, states a local paper, of surveying, not a line, but a roast duck, afar off from his work. In Oxfordshire the surveyors are the occasion of broken bones and heads. The villagers near Islip put down the surveyors by force. Not to be foiled in their la bours, the engineers sent to Bicester for assistance, when a party was obtained to fight for them. The villagers again renewed the battle. Again were the surveyors over powered, and again stopped. Not, however to be daunted , their fora s were again doubled. This small army being too numerous for the rustics, the surveyors were allowed to continue their work under a body-guard amounting to nearly 100 strong. On all sides we hear of unwarranta ble and petty tyranny from landowners, and many in stances are reported of surveyors summoned and fined for trespass. Mr. John Wilmot, a fruit-grower at lsleworth, and tenant of the Duke of Northumberland, causes no fewer than six surveyors to be apprehended for entering his grounds, " supposed for an unlawful purpose." Four other surveyors were fined at Lyndhurst for " unlawfully treading down and damaging turnips." The shifts to which the poor surveyors are thus driven are, however, amusing. They go with " bulls' eye " lanterns in the dead of the night, and also watch tie opportunity, when the population are at church, to pursue their '‘ unlawful occupation. Truly, at the present moment, may railways • in all theh bearings be said to be surrounded with anoma , Res.—Railway Chronicle. LAW INTELLI GENCE. An action has been commenced in the Court of Queen's Bench by a gentleman named Semple, against Mr. Robert Gray, banker and money-broker, for £39,700, the amount of penalties incurred under the usury laws, arising out of bill transactions. _ William Cobbett, Esq., a barrister, and the son of the late William Cobbett, now lies in the Queen's prison, for contempt of the Court of Chancery, in nut paying, as ordered, certain costs. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, TATTERSALL'S..---THURSDAY. The " industrious classes " having quitted for Newport Pagnell, the room was attended by only three or four members, who amused themselves by speculating on the possible chances of obtaining payment from certain par ties who have not been seen at " the corner " since the last day of the Houghton Meeting. Not a bet was laid in the room, but in private 350 to 10 was laid against The Traverser for the Derby, and 1,900 to 95 against Cuckoo for the Oaks. _ _ _ ----- FOOT RACE. — On Monday, a race for £lOO a side, dis tance 120 yards, came off on Scandall-road, near Wake field.

THE ALLEGED MUTINY AND MURDE R BOARD THE SHIP TORY. We gave in our last the particulars of the case as far as i. it had transpired, relative to the tragic events which to () ; place on board the ship on her way from Hong Kong a London. Sixteen of the crew were in custody chars with mutiny. On Monday, however, the case t°° strange turn by the arrest of the captain. The court f 0 s , densely crowded.

Since the previous examination a further WV' had been instituted, and the representatives of the mco t e o felt that they had now only one duty to perform , 7. furth state that they did not feel called on to urge any inquiry as regarded the men at the bar. wai Mr. Broderip (the magistrate), after saying that it very hard to say how, if the crew were in them utino: state described, the vessel was ever brought into the cb ett ,,, nel, asked why the captain had not applied for assista D.,' on his arrival to some ship of war. Instead of doing 5 ) he relied on a crew whom he alleged to be in a state 0 mutiny, to bring the vessel. As the charge abandoned, the men must be discharged. This decision was heard with universal satisfaction, and was about to u w followed by a round of cheers, which were instantly OP,: pressed. The men were, however, greeted with the lon_na est acclamations outside, and were caught up and earls; as if they were so many redeemed martyrs. Mr. nah a t , E tine, counsel for the prisoners, said that he could show.t'l witnesses, that so far from any attempt at piracy hal been made, it was owing entirely to the good conduct a 0.., unexampled forbearance of the crew, that the vessel elm reached the port. le , 'e.
