FOREIGN 15- COLONIAL IMELLIGENCE ARRIVAL OF THE ACADIA The Boston and Halifax Royal Mail Steam-ship Acadia, arrived in the river on Tuesday, at 2 past 4, A.m., having left Boston on the 16th and Halifax on the 18th instant, at 3 o'clock p.m. She has therefore accomplished the passage from Halifax in ten days and nine and a half hours. The case of Mrs. Gilmour, the Scotch murderess, has been at length brought to a decision, and the marshal of the United States has received a warrant commanding him to surrender her to the British authorities. The elections through the various States for the Con gress were proceeding generally in favour of the Whig candidates, and in some instances by immense majorities. We have melancholly details of the ravages by the late storm at Pennsylvania. The destruction of life and pro perty is immense. The loss in Delaware county is es timated at 500,000 dollars. A riot took place at Philadelphia on the 6th instant, when several men were severely injured. It seems to have arisen between two rival fire companys. Another demand under the treaty has been made of a man charged with having committed a theft in Canada, and absconded to New York. The commissioner decided that he had no jurisdiction in the case, as " theft" was not enumerated in the treaty. Robbery, which is men tioned in the treaty, and ordinary theft, he considered to be distinct classes of crime, the former depriving a per son of property by force. . . „ Strong hopes were entertained that the ship Memphis would be got off, although much boisterous weather had been experienced ; she had made but little water. The operations at the New York Board of Brokers on the 15th were to a fair extent, and generally at an advance in rates. Domestic Exchanges are in limited request, and rates are steady. The demand for Foreign Bills of Exchange for the packet of the 16th was unusually small. The supply of bills, however, was moderate, which enabled holders to maintain their position. Specie was dull, and the recent exports have been more than counterbalanced by various importations. Money continued abundant for all business purposes, and although the improvement in mercantile affairs gene rally had caused an increase in the amount of paper of fering for discount, no corresponding advance had taken place in the rates of interest. Loans were readily effected upon undoubted securities at 34 a 5 per cent. per annum. The transactions at the Stock Exchange for some weeks had been moderate, with but little variatio❑ in rates—the demand being about equal to the supply. The improvement in the Cotton Market noticed on Friday still continued. The sales of the 13th and 14th amounted to 2,500 bales, at an advance of Ito cent per lb. upon the prices obtained previous to the arrival of the Acadia. This advance, however, was principally in the middling and lower qualities. Uplands, very ordinary to middling, 51 to 61 cents per lb.; fair, to good fair and good, 71 to 71 and 8 cents ; Tenessees and Alabamas, 51 to 61 cents ; Mobiles, Louisianas, &c. ordinary to mid dling, 5% to 6% cents. ; fair, to good fair, 71 to 81 cents ; good and fine, 9 to 10 and 11 cents. The receipts of Cotton since the first of September were 2,367,000 bales against 1,663,000 last year. The exports to Europe amount to 1,990,000 bales, of which 1,461,000 were to Great Britain. The supply of Western Flour was large and the demand moderate. The Hibernia arrived at Halifax on the 16th List of Passengers front Boston to Halifax.—Sarah S. Jacobs'; Mr. Read ; Fred.

SPAIN According to the Madrid papers of the 23rd ult. every thing seems to favour the prospect of another change, and the dramatis person of the late insurrection, lately so clamorous for place, are now declining the responsi bility on all hands. The partisans of legal progress were beginning to raise their heads, and the Expectador speaks with confidence of their success at the next election, at least at the capital. In Cadiz the authorities had been obliged to adopt energetic measures for the maintenance of public order. Barcelona was tranquil on the 25th ult. Only one member of the Junta remained in the city. The-Junta of Sargossa retained the character of supreme, and had raised three battalions of volunteers who were to be at its orders. A Kingston (Canada) paper has the following remarks on hit excellency Sir Charles Metcalfe :—The new gover nor general is winning golden opinions from all sorts of people. lie is affable, easy of access and very charitable ; in fact, so much so, that he becomes a prey to all kinds of impdsition in that line. lie must be a very rich man, for be gives away more than his provincial income. Every body makes a plant upon him, and no one goes away em pty-banded." Sydney papers to the 26th, and Adelaide papers to the 15th of April, have arrived. With regard to matters in the former place there is little to notice. The expediency of protective duties to prevent inundating supplies of foreign meat and grain occupied the attention of the peo ple at Sydney, and the journals are filled with theoretical opinions on the subject of free trade, and its attending advantages and evils. The markets were without change. Politics at Adelaide were the order of the day, and an attempt was being made to bring the new governor, Captain Grey, into bad repute by getting up a memorial to the Queen requesting his recall. Various charges are made against his administration ; but the general censure of want of confidence in his government is quite sufficient to show that he was somewhat unpopular among the colo nists. The harvest in South Australia has been most abundant, and the surplus above the wants of the popula tion, estimated at 80,000 bushels of wheat, was to be ex ported for sale to the neighbouring settlements. A vessel lately arrived there, named the John Pirie, had been taken up to convey 10,000 bushels to the Isle of France. The colony is stated to be gradually recovering from its late difficulties. BANK MISMANAGEMENT.—A most gross instance of mismanagement and fraud on the part of a banking officer is mentioned in the American papers received by the Acadia. The directors of the Northampton (Pennsylva nia) bank, by a unanimous vote, expelled John Rice, the president, and formerly the cashier. The circulation of the bank was 108,217 dollars, the money found in the vaults, 1 dollar and 69 cents in silver ! The deficit for the payment of debts amounts to 263,059 dollars, The prostration of the bank is wholly imputed to the mal practices of Mr. Rice, and they embrace numerous charges —such as allowing particular favourites largely to over draw their accounts—discounting the paper of irresponsi ble persons—suffering unpaid notes to run over unprotes ted, the president himself being the endorser—investing largesums in unprofitable stocks—paying heavy " attor ney's fees" in seeking an increase of capital—and other _similar frauds." Mr. Rice refused to make any disclusure or explanation whatever. Other disclosures of a remark able kind, illustrative of banking operations in the United Statea;' have come out on the trial of Wyman, the late President of the Phcenix Bank, at Concord, which had not been concluded at the date of the papers by the Aca dia.— This bank, it will be recollected, was carried on at Charleston, and broke down not long since. NARIIONST ESCAPE OF KING LOUIS PHILIPPE AND HIS FAMILY.—The King and Queen, and Queen of the Belgians, left the chateau at three o'clock, on the 28th ult., in a char-a-banc drawn by six horses, to drive to Treport by the new road called De Mers. Having ar rived at the sluice of Assas, at the head of the canal which communicates with the sea, four of the horses were on the bridge, when they were frightened by the firing of the canon at Treport, and likewise by the noise of the water rushing from the sluice-gate. One of the leaders plunged and broke the slight chain placed as a protection, fell into the canal, and dragged with him in his fall the two middle horses, whose weight fortunately caused the harness which connected them with tiv carriage to break. The postilion who rod e th e w h ee l h orse , w ith much presence of m ind and great physical strength, turned his horses so as to bring the pol e o f the carriage against one of the posts at the entrance of the bridge, so that the carriage was stopped by this r uauceuvre. who accompanied The King, Queen, and the persons Majesty, after them, alighted from the carriage. His having ascertained that no one was hurt, continued his promenade toTreport on foot, accompanied by the neighbouring oopulatioAer having wa lk e d on t h e who with cheers of " Long live the King." pier for an hour, their p Majesties ansp re a t p u e r r ned in their carri age to the Chateau d'Eu. LETTER ADDRESSED TO THE QUEEN FROM THE QUEEN OF TAHITI The Times of Tuesday gives the following curious letter, in which Queen Pomare, of Tahiti, solicits the protection of the English government against France : " Tahiti, Jan. 23, 1543. " MY DEAR FRIEND AND SISTER QUEEN VICTORIA, QUEEN OF GREAT BRITAIN,— " Health and peace to you, and saved may you be by Jehovah, the foundation of our power as Quee.is of our respective countries. We dwell in peace from the arrange ments made by our predecessors. " This is my speech to you, my sister friend. Com miserate me in my affliction, in my helplessness, and in the difficulties in which my nation is involved with France. " The existing protectorate government of France in my dominions I do not acknowledge. I know nothing of what my chiefs and the French consul had done be fore I wrote to you by Captain Jones, I being absent at Raiate. " On the arrival of the French Admiral, A. Du Petit Thouars, the same chiefs who formerly signed the docu ment requesting French protection assembled, viz., the three governors and Paraita, the person who was left in charge at Papeete, (Paraita is the root of this great evil the French Admiral and the French consul, after having completed their design in signing the document, sent it over to me at Moorea, through the medium of my mes sengers, Tairapa and Mr. Simpson, for my signature. Tairapa said to me, Pomare, write your name under this document. If you do not write your name, you must pay a fine of 10,000 dollars-5,000 to-morrow, and 5,000 the following day; and should the first payment be belayed beyond two o'clock the first day, hostilities will be com menced and your land taken. " On account of this threat, against my will I signed my name. I was compelled to sign it because I was afraid ; for the British and American subjects residing on my land (in case of hostilities) would have been indiscri minately massacred ; no regard would have been paid to parties. " This is the way my government has been taken from me, and constituted into a French government. " My government is taken from me by my enemies, Paraite, Hitate, Tati, and others connected with them ; it was they who combined and entered into agreement with the French. They have banished me, that I should not be sovereign of Tahiti; that they should be kings, and also their children. " And now, my friend, think of me, have compassion on me, and assist me; let it be powerful, let it be timely and saving, that I may be reinstated in my government ; let it be prompted by the feeling which caused the Mes siah to come into our world to save you and me. " Hare compassion on me in my present trouble, in my affliction and great helplessness. " Do not cast Me away ; assist me quickly, my friend. I run to you for refuge, to be covered under your great shadow, the same as afforded to my fathers by your fa thers, who are now dead, and whose kingdoms have de scended to us, the weaker vessels. " I renew that agreement ' • let it be lasting and for ever. Let its continuance extend not only to ourselves and children, but to our children's children. 111 v friend, do not by any means separate our friendship. This is my true wish. " I now deliver up to you, my friend, my last effort; my only hope of being restored is in you. Be quick to help me, for I am nearly dead ; I am like a captive pur sued by a warrior and nearly taken, whose spear is close to me. " The time is very nigh when I fear I shall lose my go vernment and my land. " My friend, send quickly a large ship of war to assist me. A. French ship of war is daily expected here ; speedily send a ship of war to protect me, and I shall be saved. " It is my wish that the admiral may speedily come to Tahiti. If he cannot speedily come, I wish a large ship of war may come just at this present time. "Continually send here your ships of war; let not one month pass away without one, until all my present diffi culties are over. " I have also at this time written a letter to your ad miral on the Spanish coast to come to Tahiti and assist " Health and peace to you, may you be blessed, my sister friend, Queen of Great Britain, &c. " POMARE, Queen of Tahiti." DESTRUCTION OF LOGWOOD MILLS.- On Sunday week the extensive logwood mills of Messrs. Lediard and Mortimer, situate at Chewton Keynsham, about six miles from Bristol, were discovered to be on fire. As the mills are situate at hut a short distance from the banks of the Avon, a plentiful supply of water was obtained, and the engines were enabled to play without interruption. We regret to state, however, that the firemen were unable to prevent the fire from destroying the house connected with the establishment. The mills, which were exten sive, were completely destroyed. THE MODERN JACK SHEPPARD.-011 Wednesday last a notorious thief, named Richard Price Roberts, was brought up before the magistrates at Manchester, charged with several burglaries of the most daring description. He has been long known to the police of the district by the name of " the modern Jack Sheppard." The bur glaries and highway robberies to which he has been the principal are almost without number. He has been fre quently apprehended and placed in irons, and as often has he escaped, sometimes by wrenching the irons from his legs and arms, and sometimes by cutting them away, and afterwards breaking open the prisons. Superintendent Sawley stated, that, in October, 1836, the prisoner was apprehended on a charge of stealing four pigs, which were found in his possession, at Great Ancoats, Manchester. He was conveyed to the lock-ups, from which he effected his escape. H e left the country, but soon returned again. He was next taken up for a burglary, committed by break ing into the house of Mr. Charles Brown, in the township of Walton-le-dale, near Preston. He was taken and com mitted to the House of Correction kir trial, from which he effected his escape, taking with him six other prisoners, who were waiting their trial on a charge of sheep-stealing. On this occasion he knocked down the turnkey, and took possession of the keys, and, securing the doorkeeper, made his escape, followed by the others. On Tuesday week he was arrested in the Isle of Man on another charge, and placed in irons in the lock-up. Two policemen were left to watch him during the night ; but, notwithstanding their vigilance, he escaped. He was retaken on Friday, and on Saturday he once more escaped; but was again captured in the afternoon, twelve miles from Douglas- He was conveyed to Liverpool, and from this town to Manchester, by railway, heavily ironed. He was on Thursday sent off to Preston House of Correction. ATTEMPT TO MURDER.—A considerable sensation has been created in Derby by a young man named Grocock, about 17 years of age having surrendered himself on Saturday morning, saying that he had murdered a young girl at a place called Borough Ash, three or four miles from Derby. When he had been lodged in prison he wrote down a statement of the entire occurrence. On Friday he was at Nottingham, and having formed the idea of murdering a child that he knew, he decoyed her in an unfrequented place called Druid's Caves, and just as he was about to strike her, her father shouted and he ran away. On leav ing Nottingham, he passed some boys and a girl at Bees ton, and as the girl, whose name is Eliza Allwood, hap pened to say that she should like to go to Derby as she was tired of the mill at Beeston, Grocock said that he wa s an overlooker there, and would find her work. She went with him, and having wearied her with walking about he led her to near Borough Ash. In his written statement he said " I promised her to go to an Inn and get her a bed, but at last, through persuasion and fatigue, she consented to lie down under a tree. She slept soundly greater part of the night, while I was awake plotting the most ready way of a silent murder. About half after one she was asleep, I took out of my hat a white cotton stocking I had previously worn, and taking from my pocket a small ham mer, forcing the stocking into her mouth and striking her violently on the back of the head. She exclaimed, 'Oh master, don't you—don't you kill me ; I wonder you can find in your heart.' I again struck her with the hammer when the head flew off; 1 threw down the hammer handle, struck her with my fist and stamped upon with my left foot what I believed to be a dead body, and then wiped the blood from my hand on the stocking and directly left the spot with an intention which I had previously formed of immediately giving myself into the hands of the police. At the end of Derby I met a policeman, and gave myself into custody. As regards my intention for committing such an act, I was determined to be transported or hung, having at that time no means of obtaining a livelihood, but I cannot properly explain the motive for committing such an action." The prisoner was taken before Dr. Bent, a magistrate, by whom he was remanded ; but fortunately for him the girl, who was found by the police not far from the place he had described, very much covered with blood, is rapidly recovering from the savage attack. DREADFUL MURDER.—On Tuesday last as two gen tlemen were proceeding in a gig from the village of Cob ham, near Gravesend, on their way to Wrotham market, they saw a man lying about 30 yards from the road, whom they imagined to be drunk, and whom they went to arouse, to prevent his being suffocated. On a closer exa mination, however, they found it was the dead body of a gentleman, whose face and chest were covered with blood. The grass around the body evidently showed that a severe struggle had taken place. The corpse was removed to the Ship Inn, at Cobham ; and the waiter there recognized it as that of Mr. Charles Dodd, a respectable chemist some years since at Rochester, but now retired, and who had been staying at the inn along with his son. Subsequent inquiry also proved that the unfortunate gentleman had been murdered, and that by no other than his third son, Richard Dodd, a fine young man, 24 years of age, and that he committed the act whilst labouring uuder an aber ration of intellect. He was an artist of some celebrity, and has gained several prices at the Royal Academy. A year or two ago this unfortunate youth accompanied Sir Thomas Phillips, the late mayor of Newport, on a tour through Italy, Switzerland, and Germany, &c., for the purpose of improving himself in his art. Owing to his arduous duties and constant exposure to the sun, his brain became affected to such a melancholy extent as to produce insanity. He returned to England three months since, and hopes were entertained that the change of climate would restore his health. Such, however, was not the case, and his disease became more serious. He was visited by most of our eminent physicians, and only so late •as last Saturday, Dr. Sutherland was called in, and recom mended that the utmost caution should was strictly be o b s attendede r v ed i n w atching his movements. This advice t o c o h k a nhgi his un fortunate son into Kent , an of scene being considered necessary,d sight. At A to, he never being allowed togooutor m s r ig . had tea, and Mr. Dodd Monday evening. There they reached Cobham. on d re quested that beds should be provi ded for them both. The son was noticed to behave in a very sullen manner, and partook of a pint of beer in preference to tea, and about u half-past nine o'clock they left the house, as they catas stated, drea for a walk. • It is needless to state, the trophe must have quickly followed. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD I R E ii AND REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The usual weekly meeting of this association was held on Monday. A contribution of £270 was handed in from New foundland, and a vote of thanks was passed to Dr. Fleming, the Roman Catholic bishop of the island, for his exertions in support of repeal. Several other letters were then read, enclosing sub s,riptions, and in one of them a reference was made to I the exercise of the royal authority against repeal. Mr. O'Connell said that the writer was mistaken, and I he wished it to be generally understood that there was no royal authority against the repeal ; it was a ministerial authority, and, as a composition, it deserved to be cha racterised as it had been by the Morning Chronicle, as " the essence of stupidity and insolence." He then stated that several letters had been received, complaining of the delay which had taken place in carrying the report of the arbitrators' committee into operation. He trusted all the necessary forms would very shortly be perfected. Dr. Gray could answer that everything would be ready on Wednesday. Mr. O'Connell next entered on an explanation of the plan brought forward last week for re-organising the Irish parliament, a"d announced as a "next step" towards the completion of that plan the appointment of district repeal wardens of the towns of Ardee and Arklow, for the purpose of ascertaining and reporting the number of householders resident therein for the last six mooths—the number of married men, not being householders—and the number of repealers. He wanted to make those district repeal war dens a sort of returning officers, and if they succeeded in these two towns, they would take the rest of the cities and towns seriatim. After some remarks as to the neces sity of proceeding with slowness and caution, The Hon. Gentleman said that he now came to a sub ject which was of too much importance not to be treated with all possible deliberation and deference—he alluded to the topics arising ont of the speech, reported to have been delivered by her Majesty, on the prorogation of parlia ment. He could not help observing that the Queen's speech was the ministers'—(hear, hear)—and that it was no more her speech than it was his. (Hear.) The senti ments if contained were those of her ministry, and he wished this to be distinctly understood in Ireland, because he was desirous of counteracting the incitement to disaf fection, of which the ministers had been guilty, by putting forth such a speech. A more traitorous project had never been concocted than by putting such a speech into her Majesty's mouth, and thereby endeavouring to sever the affections of the Irish people from their venerated Sove reign (hear ) Affection was the best protection and preser vative of allegiance, and that affection the ministers at tempted to destroy. That any party should have the daring profligacy to strive to weaken their love and vene ration for their Queen, was an extent of guilt of which he did not think that even the present ministry would incur the guilt. They (the Repealers) were aecused of disaffec tion and discontent, but he wished to consider on whose side the incitement to disaffection was. (Hear, hear.) He denied there was disaffection among the Irish people he admitted there was discontent, and that discontent would continue till justice was done to their country. To morrow he would vindicate the people from the imputation of being guilty in their discontent, by showing that if not discontented they would be the most degraded of human beings. (Cheers.) RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE, The rent for t'he week was then announced to be £1,380 is. 4d., and the meeting adjourned. At the adjourned meeting on Tuesday, Mr. O'Connell proceeded on the well-understood plan of denouncing the royal speech as the speech of ministers and not of the Queen. Of course it is. But equally of course the Queen herself pronounced it in person in the House of Lords. She need not have done so had she objected to its policy, and Mr. O'Connell, while he sophisticates it away, and declares his resolution to proceed with the " pernicious agitation," evidently feels his more difficult position in consequence. But Protestants must also avail themselves of the additional strength which this constitutional document affords to them, while it embar rasses the conspirators. The speech will avail little with out truly loyal organisation and action. MANCHESTER AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.—The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Thurs day, at noon, at Manchester. The total receipts for the half year were £52,118. Os. Bd. the expenses and interest amounted to £22,562. Is. Od. leaving a balance of £22,562. Id. A dividend of £l5 per share, less income tax, was declared. It is, we believe, unprecedented in the annals of rail ways that so many special trains passed and repassed as did on Monday last on the South-Western, when the last of the summer excursion trips round the Isle of Wight took place, and when her Majesty and attendants pro ceeded to Southampton. There were four each way, making eight in addition to the 27 (goods' trains included) which are regularly dispatched, and which at this season of the year are unusually heavy. How, AND SELBY RAILWAY.—The half yearly meet ing of the Hull and Selby Railway Company was held at Hull on Monday. The report showed that during the last six months, as compared with the corresponding period of 1842, the passengers had fallen off to the large number of 23,058. although the receipts from that source had diminished by only £932. 19s. 11d. ; whereas on the goods' traffic there bad been an increase of upwards of £l,OOO. It appeared, also. that there had been a consi derable reduction in the Company's expenditure. The Report was adopted, and a dividend declared of 20s per share, which is after the rate of £4 per cent, per annum on the subscribed capital. The Marquis of Londonderry has addressed a letter to the Irish papers, stating that he looks with great anxiety and dismay" to the general meeting of Protestants in Bel fast on the 7th inst. The custom-house officers at Derry made a seizure last week of nearly 5001 b of gunpowder, which were brought from Glasgow, packed in a hogshead so as to resemble sugar. A new repeal cap, of black velvet, lined with green, and and modeled from an ancient Irish crown, has been pub lished by a Dublin artist, and is recommended to the re peaters for general adoption, instead of the puritanical English felt hat. The Kilkenny Journal says that Mr. Fayle who was fired at recently near Eniscorthy, is so much improved in health as to be able to walk about, though his intellect is affected to such an extent that he cannot divest him self of the idea that he is living in the Town of Borris. THE MURDER OF LORD NORBURY.—Peter Dolan, late of Durrow, in the King's County, was on Wednesday fully committed by Sir Nicholas Fitzsimon to Kilmainham, for transmission to Tullamoore gaol, in order to take his trial at next assizes there for the murder of the late lamented Lord Norbury. LONDON AND SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY.—The half yearly meeting of this company was held on Wed nesday. The revenue account showed an increase of £1,893 2s. Ild. over the corresponding period of last year. The receipts for the half year were £150,351 12s. 10d., and the expenditure amounted to £85,213 45. 2d., added to which a sum of £15,827 2s. 3d. for debenture bond in terest, and interest on Gosport branch shares, left a balance of £69,386 ls. Ild. available for the dividend of 305., subject to income tax. This required a sum of £68,812 3s. 10d., leaving £573 18s. l ld. to the credit of next account. An advance of £1 per share by the pro prietors was agreed to for the purpose of securing the continental traffic at Southampton, by the employment of a number of additional steamers. A list of the various repeal meetings held in Ireland, from March 19th to August lbth, with the numbers at ter ding each, as reported by the repeal journals, has been published in the Times, from which it appears that the total number of persons who are said to have attended these meetings is 8,610,000. Mr. James Gordon Bennett, proprietor of the New York Herald, has addressed a letter to the Times, in which he says that the reason why he was recently treated by O'Connell in such an extraordinary way at the Cern' Exchange was because he (Mr. Bennett) contributed, through his paper, to stop the " rent" that was expected from America. DUBLIN AND DROGHEDA RAILWAY.—The half-yearly meeting of this company was held in Dublin, on Monday last. The directors still adhere to the opinion that the entire cost of the line would not exceed £14,000 per mile. About November four miles of the permanent way would be completed between Raheny and Malahide, and the di rectors confidently expect that the entire line will be opened in May next. The directors recommend the meeting to authorise them to employ their engineer in re vising the survey he made some time ago, of the country between Drogheda and Belfast, with the view of making preliminary arrangements for an extension line to Belfast. Mr. Kidd, the secretary, read a statement of the ac counts, by which it appeared that the total receipts of the half year were £102,888, and the expenditure £94,921 ; leaving a balance of £7,966. The recommendations of the report were carried. His Excellency the Earl de Grey, Lord Lieutennant of Ireland, with the Countess de Grey and suit sailed from Kingstown, Dublin, on Friday evening week, and arrived a; the noble Earl's Family manson in St. James.s square last saturday afternoon. His Excellency is not expected to return to Ireland for six or seven weeks ; but will visit Buxton for the waters prior to the assembling of the noble Earl's Regiment of Yorkshire Hussars, for their annual training and inspection, in the first week of October. THE ANTI-REPEAL MEETING OF BELFAST.—The noblemen and gentlemen concerned in this meeting have decided on postponing it. The firm tone adopted by her Majesty, and a consideration of the extent to which mi nisters are thereby pledged to protect and support the well-affected people of Ireland at the present crisis, has produced this effect by inducing them— " To forego the meeting fixed for the ith of September, lest the Protestants of Ulster should be charged by their enemies, however unjustly, as the cause of continuing po litical agitation." The reasons which led to this determination are worthy of the Protestants of Ulster, and we particularly call at tention to one of those reasons, exhibiting as it does in a strong light the difference between the loyalty of the two classes into which the people of Ireland are now di vided. The fourth resolution of the Protestant gentlemen of Ulster declares as follows FASHIONS FOR SEPTEMBER. (From the " London and_ Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fashion.") Dresses of clear materials have been made of a plain transparent organdy and bareges salinees, with the single tuck and sleeves bouillonn4 from the top to the elbow ; the corsage full and a cceur. In the redingote style the corsage Josephine is much approved ; it is half-high behind, and open in front en cceur to the waist. The corsage ala Lucrece resembles those a la vierge, and are also in favour ; the one is made with runners at the top and waist, the other with straight shculder straps ; the bottom, if of thick material, is with nervures, but with fulness a little spread if it is thin. White barege of a fine texture is fashionable for peignoirs lined with pink or blue sarcenet ; also for petiles soirees, trimmed with two or three deep flounces en biais, edged with a narrow fringe or festonnes in a straight fsslon. Peignoirs of coutil are made with a plain piece on the top of the body forming a point which descends to the waist. Dresses of lilac silk open in front over white silk, and lacing across the whole length with lilac cord confined by buttons, have been much approved ; the body is high and pointed, with lacings at the sides. Pelerines and canne zous have of late been increasing in favour, but there is a change in the form ; instead of being joined behind, the seam is on the shoulder, and is so cut as to avoid the defect observable in the old ones. The fichus bonne femme are also a little different ; they do not conceal the figure so much, and are trimmed with three and four rows of broad lace. " 4. That, while we adhere to the opinions detailed in our resolutions of the 24th of July last, and feel that we were then called on to give expression to them in the manner proposed, we are desirous that, as the advocates of repeal are without any excuse for their past agitation, they shall hereafter have no pretext for any act of ours' however constitutional, for continuing a system of agi tation which has been now so explicitly condemned by their Sovereign." WALES. THE WELSH OUTRAGES.—Friday's Police Gazette contains the offer of a reward of £5OO for the discovery of the persons who, on the night of the 23rd ult., at tacked the house of Mr. John Edwards, of Gallyvvernen, in the parish of Llanon, in the county of Carmarthen, and maliciously fired therein, and also did much damage to the house and premises adjoining.

Everything is destroyed,—scenery, dresses, ap pointments, and even the performers private property ; while they, to add to their loss, are by the destructive ele ment suddenly thrown out of employ, The whole of the property, we fear, was uninsured. STATE OF SOUTH WALES.—The farmers during th e past week have held several meetings, at which they have declaimed against tithes, turnpike trusts, and the new poor law. On Friday week the Rebeccaites destroyed the Glangwilly gate, near Carmarthen, and levelled the house to the ground, the walls and roof falling upon and destroy ing the little stock-in-trade of Daniel Joshua, a book binder. Four of the rioters were identified by . Joshua at a subsequent examination before the magistrates, and they were committed for trial at the next assizes, on a charge of felony. A. temporary shed was erected for the pur poses of the collector, but the Rebeccaites set to work and chopped up the remaining fragment, which they th en burnt oh the Sunday after their previous depredation. The mayor and. magistrates having received information that the rioters intended to attack Prendergast gate, near Havefordwest, determined to defend the gate with Consta bles, having cavalry and marines iri reserve in case of need. The following description of the scene which took' place we take from the Carmarthen Journal of Saturday last :—" Onward they came, " Beeca" leading the' van,' some fifty yards in advance, with, twice-barrel gun in her hand, and dressed in it'fantastic style, having reached the gate the object of their intended demolition. The mayor deeming it prudent to preient the main , s body tfeoard c com i n g i i o n e up, gave instructions fol. an immediate hwe a r t e t a a sp c eo k ant , and the gun of this modern Jezebel,' like the gates of Soninauth, be came the object of Capture.

The courageous matron scampered with her motley group, both on foot and on horseback, amounting to nearly three hundred men ; however, not so quick, but that two of her Pailles de riz and lace are still the prettiest wear for dress bonnets. Capotes made with the fronts of paille de riz and crowns of poult de soie are very fashionable for morning wear; a wreath of field daisies or heart's ease may be added, but not ruches, which are rather gone by, and no ribbon is required but for strings. Deep veils are gradually superseding the vollettes ; many already reach to the waist, and some even to the knees. Capoles of crape or organdy are very pretty with these long veils of very fine plain tulle, merely finished with a broad hem. A novel style for cannezous and, morning caps is an em broidery of very fine braid in flu d'Ecosse, so fine and so well executed that it has the effect of rich embroidery ; for the crowns of caps it is done on muslin intermixed with open stitches. The new cap, "a la plus belle," is composed of three folds at the back of the head, without trimming or ribbon, and having neither ribbon nor lap pets to fasten ; it is confined by two pearl pins, which sometimes support flowers. Mittens of watered silk, lacing at the sides, and trimmed with narrow ribbon a la vieille, are quite the rage at Paris. NARROW Esc &PE.—Near Renfrew an unloaded waggon, containing the driver and his three young children, was standing adjoining some homely houses. The horse was exhibiting symptoms of impatience, by throwing up his head, and ever and anon clamping heavily on the ground with his near hind foot, as the tiny curly-headed cargo " wo-wo-woed," skirled and shouted in elfish merriment. The father, after chatting to a neighbour or two began to spoil the sport of the children by seizing the eldest and handing him out to the care of the neighbours. The se cond was being served in the like manner, when the third and yOungest, a girl between two and three years of age, crept towards the front of the waggon, and when the father turned round to take his darling in his arms he was horrified at s ee i ng t h e child, through a widened spar, fall right under the raised foot of the impatient horse ! The father's eye dimmed, and his frame and features shunk in spasmodic sympathy. The hoof descended—but, p ! guided by a higher power, it descended lightly, feeling something soft and yielding, the animal moved the iron shod toe on the infant's back, as if to ascertain the nature of the unusual substance. A movement of the infant, or some hidden apprehension, filled the horse with alarm—a tremor seized his limbs, and with cowering haunches and twitching flanks, he raised the hoof, poised it for half a second, and, in maddening terror, sent it again and again thundering downwards, but not before the timely rush of a neighbour had providentially snatched the uninjured infant from her awful position, and was bearing her in triumph to her mother's arms.—Glasgow Reortner. offspring were taken captives, whose countenances, " more in sorrow than in anger," were of a sombre hue, being neither pale nor red, but being very black, their HER MAJESTY'S MARINE EXCURSION. head gear, unlike Sterne 's Maria, was not composed of a silken net or the tendrills of a vine, but an ould Cawbeen (as Paddy would say), was firmly secured on their know- We gave in our last the probable route which her Ma ledgeboxes, by means of firm lashings.

All was now in the cattle, when they at once took them away, and re- motion. The cheers of thousands of people were accom turned them to the different owners, for it appears that j panied by the firing of guns from the Liverpool Oriental they had been placed there to graze.

Her Majesty and Prince Albert, after having visited, on Wednesday, Ventnor, Shanklin Chine, Blackgang Chine, Freshwater, and other places at the back of the Isle of Wight, proceeded onward in the yacht to the west ward along the coast. Between five and six o'clock the Royal yacht let go her anchor in Portland roads. . . As soon as the Royal standard was seen approaching the shore, the whole town was on the qui vive, everybody anxiously hoping that her Majesty and his Royal High ness Prince Albest were about to honour Weymouth with a visit, but the Royal party did not land. At six o'clock on Wednesday morning the yacht and the other steamers got under weigh, and proceeded down Channel. It was a beautifully fine morning, and, not withstanding the early hour at which the Royal voyagers proceeded on their course, numbers of boats had put off from the shore, filled with persons hoping that by ap proaching the yacht they might be able to obtain a glimpse of her Majesty and Prince Albert ere they took their de parture. The Royal yacht hove in sight of Plymouth at five o'clock on the afternoon, and proceeded, at a reduced speed, to Barn Pool, and there anchored. On nearing Mill Bay her Majesty was seen on deck with Prince Al bert, who seemed to be directing her attention to the crowds of people hastily following the course of the yacht. Her Majesty did not land, but dined and slept on board. At an early hour on Thursday morning, the royal party landed at Mount Edgecumbe, and walked for some time in the groves and gardens there. Prince Albert. attended by the naval authorities, proceeded, in one of the barges belonging t.) the royal yacht, to the dockyard, and after wards to the victualling establishment, and inspected the various departments of both those establishments. Her Majesty held a levee on board the Victoria and Albert, which was attended by Lord Haddington, the Hon. Syd ney Herbert, Admiral Sir George Seymour, the Hon. G. L. Corry, Lord Aberdeen, the Earl of Liverpool, &c. Among the presentations to her Majesty were Sir Samuel Pym, the admiral superintendent of the dockyard; Capt. ; t h t e h e mayor, clgy o fclergy Sir Thomas Fellowes, su p er i n t en d en t o f t h e victualling yard Plymouth, ; Col. Beattie, Stonehouse, commandantanci Devonport marines aldermen, and council of Devonport ; the mayor, alder men, and council of Plymouth ; and all the officers:in command of her Majesty's ships and vessels in the Sound and the harbour, the captain of the Neapolitan frigate La Regina, &c. Soon after three o'clock, the Queen and Prince Albert landed, and were received by the naval authorities of the dockyard, and by General Murray, the military com mander-in-chief of the district, who was attended by a very numerous body of officers, all mounted. Her Ma jesty and the Prince, having taken their seats in one of the royal carriages, which was an open one, drawn by four horses, immediately left the dockyard, escorted by the general and his staff. As soon as the Queen and Prince Albert made their appearance outside the dock yard gates, they were received with enthusiastic cheering by the assembled multitude. The first carriage was oc cupied solely by the Queen and Prince Albert; the others contained Lord Aberdeen, the Earl of Liverpool, and others of the household. The royal cortege, after passing through Devonport, was met at the boundary of the bo rough of Plymouth by the mayor and corporate officers, who preceded her Majesty through the streets leading to the Hoe, and returned thence by nearly the same route to the borough boundary on the Stonehouse Mill-bridge, where the authorities of Plymouth took their leave. After leaving Plymouth the procession returned through Devonport, headed by the mayor, to the dockyard, where her Majesty re-embarked, and went on board the yacht. - Her Majesty remained a short time on board, and the royal party then went to view that stupendous national work, the breakwater, upon which they landed and re mained some time ere they returned to the yacht. In the evening there were bonfires and fireworks and all sorts of rejoicing, in consequence of the visit of the Queen and Prince Albert. The column on Mount Wise was illumi nated, and looked very splendid. But by far the most magnificent sight of the whole was afforded by the men of-war in the Sound. At nine o'clock, when the gun fired, the whole of them manned their yards, each man having a blue light in his hand. Few who have not witnessed an illumination of this description on board a man-of-war can form an adequate idea of its splendour. HER MAJESTY'S EMBARKATION.—When the Royal cortege arrived at the Royal Pier on Monday, an inter esting circumstance occurred, which enabled the Queen to have an instance of ready loyalty of the Southampton Mayor and corporation. From some cause the Royal yacht had not been brought close to the pier by the time the Royal party arrived, and it became necessary for her Majesty to go into the barge to be pulled two or three baendrunthoensctoar;ehte yachtbaize s b p o r a e t a s d ' length e ver t the e o s g t e a t g t e o the intendedyachtto ; when alongside, was taken off to cover the pier steps ; that, however, left the stage so wet and dirty, especially as it was raining at the time, that the Earl of Hadding ton exclaimed, "We must get some covering for the stage" (which was being used between the Queen's car riage and the steps). Nothing could be obtained, and her Majesty waiting to alight, the members of the corpora.. tion, like so many Raleighs, stripped o ff their robes of office in a moment, from which those of the mayor and wasot to step oi c sao o t, te v elp e i dk r s e eo d o tah f sue o etr r oe bntaahvreog Elizabeth, S . o t He e r ev e re i g lv n we ' ast Majestyckuoes collars ,a appeared much gratified by this s p on t aneous act of attention, and e! aldermen were selected (they bei ng scar l et ) , and the t a p w Q b a I t l sy h e e w pa n ln a e y da V s e i dryde was robes Her of Majesty left the coast o f E ng l and on Friday night, office. es y and crossed over to Treport. During that day the royal party visited Falmouth, and was waited upon in her course along the coast by the Mayors and Corporations of Ply mouth, Penryn, and Truro, who put off in boats to wait upon her Majesty. The particulars of her Majesty's arrival in France will be found in our last page. The Prince of Wales and his royal sister are at Brigh ton, in charge of the Dowager Lady Lyttleton. The Queen Dowager continues in the enjoyment of im proved health, at Witley Court, Worcestershire, and daily takes drives in the neighbourhood. Their Royal High nesses the Duchess of Kent and Duchess of Gloucester are expected, in the course of next week, to arrive on a visit of several days to the Dowager Queen, when a select party will assemble to meet their Royal Highnesses. Lord Brougham arrived at Brougham Hall, in West moreland, last week, after a short visit to his Grace the Duke of Cleveland, at Raby Castle. The preliminaries have been arranged for a marriage between the Earl of March, eldest son of the Duke and Duchess of Richmond, and the accomplished Miss Grey ille, eldest daughter of Mr. Algernon Greville, private secretary to the Duke of Wellington. The inhabitants of Hamilton, Bothwell, and the sur rounding district, are at present all on tiptoe in expecta tion of the arrival, at Hamilton Palace, of the Marquis of Douglas and his young and beautiful spouse, her Serene Highness the Princess Mary of Baden. Prepara tions on an extensive and most liberal scale are making in the vicinity of the palace for the entertainment of the tenantry and others, who are to take part i n th e proceed ings on the day o f the arrival of the noble pair, which, it is expected, may be on Friday or Saturday next.
