FOREIGN 4 COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA The royal-mail steam-ship Caledonia arrived at this port on Tuesday evening. She departed from Boston on the afternoon of the Ist instant, and met with such a con tinuance of heavy weather that she did not reach Halifax till the night of the 3rd. On the morning of the 4th, one day later than usual, she cast off from Cunard's wharf, and started for Liverpool. Again she was baffled by heavy seas and a succession of s tron g head wi nds, . which so retarded her that the run acro ss the Atlantic has occu pied thirteen days. She was telegraphed off the Great Ormshead on Tuesday afternoon, at three o'clock, and in ordinary circumstances ought to have been up by six. She, however, fell in with the smack Charlotte, bound frem this port to Newry. The wind was blowing a full gale, and the smack - being in a sinking state, having lost all her sails, the captain of the Caledonia hove too, and took off the crew, consisting of two men and a boy. This caused a detention of upwards of an hour, and she did not enter the Mersey till past seven o'clock. The Caledonia has brought over 44 passengers. The Acadia arrived at Halifax on the Ist instant. Money was still abundant. The demand for specie had nearly ceased, as the rates of exchange would not admit of shipments being made at a profit. American gold was at a par a quarter premium, sovereigns 4 dollars 83 to 4 dollars 85, and Spanish dollars 6 per cent. premium. Sterling Exchange had been in active demand, and the /market closed firm. Continental bills were not quite so active. The following are the quotations ; London, 1091 to 1091 ; Paris. 5.25 to 5.230 ; Amster dam, 391 to 40; Hamburg, 35 to 351 ; Bremen, 781 to 784. We extract the following, on the state of the cotton trade and the incoming crop, from the New York Herald. • ‘• • • Prices continue steady, and sales are to a fair amount. Transactions at full prices. There was but little doir , in the New Orleans market on the 19th instant; prices were too high to meet the views of buyers. The stock on hand was light. There bad been 1800 bales of new received ; sales since then amount to about 500 bales. The old was out of market ; a crop of 1200 bales, which has been held for some time, was shipping for Liverpool. Extract of a letter from Mobile, by which it appears the chance for a large crop in that section is still consi dered favouroble. It is dated 19th Sept. 1843: — "About 600 bales of the new crop have arrived, and the greater part is now on the market. The difficulty of ne gotiation, and the want of vessels, have prevented any ac tivity in our market. Fair cotton is sold readily at eight cents, specie; other qualities in proportion." The prospects of the country were daily improving. On the 15th ult. the coast of West Florida was swept by a hurricane, which overturned dwellings, uprooted trees. and caused a frightful destruction of human life. The yellow fever was still prevalent at New Orleans and Mobile on the 20th ult., but the cases were not numer ous. The papers contain but little intelligence from Canada. Mr. Chabot had been elected representative for Quebec, in the assembly. Great devastation has been caused by fires in the woods of Canada. The county of Beauharnois, throughout its whole ex tent, had been for days the scene of most destructive con flagrations, which, owing to the long-continued drought of the season, had swept off not the underbrush only, but also the heavier timber, leaving nothing but ashes where they had stood. Other districts of the province had also suffered to a great extent. In many instances the fire had traversed the upper soil of the cleared land, consuming the new stacked hay and grain and the standing oats, and destroying even the potatoe arid turnip crops. Some barns and dwelling- houses, too, were consumed. LIST OF PASSENGERS From Botton.—Captain Mills, Mr. and Mrs. Rotch, Miss Retch, Messrs. Francis Retch, G. B. Blake, E. J. Coates. F. A.

From Halifax.—Mr. and Mrs. Grieve, Miss Joplin, Miss Mince, Captain Shairp, Messrs. Egan, Adam and F. Bekenna. PORTUGAL AND SPAIN. The Lady Mary Wood steamer brings advices from Gibralter to the 9th, from Cadiz to the 10th, and from Lisbon to the 12th instant: At Lisbon the absence of the Queen and her leading ministers had been seized by the Septembrists to set on foot a new revolution. Attempts have been made to corrupt the army, and some officers detected in tampering with the soldiers had been placed under arrest in the Castle. The merchants of Lisbon were hopeless of a favoura' le result to the tariff negocia tions, and the clearing of goods at the Custom-house, which had been in a great degree suspended for a month, was now resumed. At Cadiz and Seville the gteatest agitation and excitement continued.. Both places were under the operation of martial law, fresh arrests continued to be made daily, all the troops were constantly under arms, day and night, and numerous patrols went through the principal streets, dispersing the smallest groups. The hostile feelings of the Andalusians to the provisional Go vernment were apparent, from the fact that there is not an important point throughout the entire province in which there have not been strenuous effeorts made to pro claim the Central Junta. There have been attempts of this discription in some instances for a time successfui at Seville, at Cadiz, at Cordova, in Granada, Malaga, and Carthagena. The King of Holland delivered the opening speech to the States General on Monday. The young Queen of Spain attained her thirteenth year on Tuesday last. The Bombay Gentlemen': Gazelle, announces that there is a rumour that Lord Granville Somerset is likely to succeed Eord Ellenborough as Governor-General of India. It is stated in the New York Herald, that the Britan nia steamer, for her late voyage home, took on board at New York thirty-two passengers, 15,000 letters, and seventy -five bushels of newspapers. An English magazine, published every two months, has made its appearance in Frankfort. It is principally made up of the serial works of Ainsworth, Dickens, 1.4-ver, and Mrs. Trollope. THE CHINESE PRIZE-MONEY. — We have heard on authority that the batta money (or prize-money) arising from the ransom of Canton will be paid in the course of the ensuing month, orders having been already issued to the treasury to make the necessary arrangements for its distribution. This gratuity has already been paid to the forces in India who were employed in the expedition. Disappointment is naturally felt at the limited amount which falls to the share of the gallant captors, as it hardly exceeds a tithe of that which has been received by the ci tizens of Canton, who, headed by Ilowqua, came forward voluntarily and offered 6,000,000 dollars for the preserva tion of their city. The course taken by Capt. Elliott, the late Plenipotentiary, in converting the ransom into a con vention, has diverted the money from the channel into which, according to all precedent in such matters, it would otherwise have flowed.—Standard. ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE POPE.—A letter from Rome, of the 27th ult., in the Gazelle de France, says— " A report has probably reached you of an attempt to assassinate the Pope. The fact is, that a physician, who is a great revolutionist, but driven to desperation by want of money, went one day to the palace; and, although be has a wooden leg, entered as nimbly as if it was his dawn house. Being met, and asked whom he wanted, he replied that he wished to speak to his Holiness on very urgent affairs. With much difficulty he was induced to withdraw. On reaching the court he fired a pistol, with out its being perceived that it was he who caused the ex plosion. The next day be returned agaih, and went on until he met Cagetanino, the Pontiff's valet, to whom he insisted on being immediately allowed to see the Pope on matters of high interest. His entrance was, however, again refused, and he went away, but he was arrested on leaving the palace. A loaded pistol was found upon him." Fax-MINTING AT GIBRALTAR.—This noble sport. it appears, will be followed with great spirit by the officers of the garrison at the " Rock" during the ensuing sea son. The Gibraltar Chronicle publishes an account of a meeting of the Calpe hunt, held at the quarters of Major Lacy Walter Yea, for the purpose of taking into consi deration the most efficient measures to be adopted for maintaining the hunt in all the style and spirit which has distinguished it for the last 26 years. The meeting was numerously attended by officers, who represented the se veral corps of the garrison (with the exception of the Royals,) including the Artillery and Engineers. the 7th, 38th, 48th, and 79th Regiments. Major Yea was called to the chair. A. lengthened discussion ensued, from which it appeared that the meeting, after inspecting the books, &c., were of opinion that the average expenditure for sup porting the hunt might b: taken at 1,400 dollars per annum. A resolution was passed, " That as the garri son contained five regiments of the line, Engineers. Artil lery, Staff, the expense of maintaiaing the hounds should be fairly divided into seven different divisions, one for each regiment, another for the Ordnance, and the re maining one for the garrison Staff, civilians, and all casual subscribers's (the Governor's donation included). Another resolution was also adopted, urging the propriety of every regiment and all the members supporting Colo nel Maude the mahter of the hunt. A M ELAN CHOLV eIIifIrMSTA N C E.—Last week, at the Blockley Almshouse, a young women committed suicide 'by taking arsenic. The following note, found upon the table in her room, explains the cause of her unfortunate end :—" Let no one attempt to use any cup, tumbler, or spoon on this table. This is to inform all who may see it, that no one is chargeable with my death—that is, with having in any form murdered me—l die by my own hand. I have been the victim of a cruel deceiver, who, after leading me into the greatest distress, has left me des titute of money, friends, and clothes. I know not which way to turn. This has caused me to commit the rash act. May God have mercy on my soul ! It is my last request that Dr. E—may be made to come and gaze on the cold clay of her he so ruined and cruelly deserted. My name is 1 am the adopted daughter of Mr. —. South Twelfth-street. I had, when I lay very low, the promise of Mr. D—, brewer, at the corner of and —streets, to lie in the Magdalen Burial-ground. It has been my earnest wish in life—it is in death. I think, if some one would call upon him (he is a very benevolent man,) that he would let me lie there.—R--. It is my earnest request that no efforts be made to restore life. I have no tie to bind me here. I long to be cold. A prostitute's life I cannot bear to lead,—no other source is left,"—Philadelphia American. IRELAND. LATEST INTELLIGENCE (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) DUBLIN, SATURDAY, OCT. 21. 1 The approaching state prosecutions are now become the chief topic of conversation in this city, and give rise to rumours of every shade and complexion from the most plausible to the most preposterous, and all find persons to believe them. Amongst others a report was being prevalent that the parties who were recently held to bail would not be brought to trial until Hilary Term, which would be a delay of about three months. This, lam in formed upon good authority, is not the case : the parties cannot traverse in prox., but must (by stat. 60, Geo. 111, chap. 4) appear and plead in the Queen's Bench within the first four days of term, which begins 2nd of Nov., and the trials will probably commence on the 17th, or on the 27th of November, the first sitting day after term ; the latter day I think is the most likely to be selected, at least if they are to be trials at bar, as in that ease the court will be composed of all the judges of the Queen's Bench, and great public inconvenience would be caused by the entire court being occupied during term with the state prosecutions to the exclusion of all other business. A charge of wilful and corrupt perjury has been made against Mr. Hughes, the government reporter, upon whose informations, chiefly, the conspirators were held to bail, because Mr. Richard Barrett was sworn by him to have been, on the 9th of October, at the meeting at Calvert's Theatre and at the dinner on the same evening, which Mr. Barrett offered to refute by the informations of thirteen persons ; and this attempt is followed up by a fierce article in the Freeman's Journal, raking up allusions to a hired informer of that name who figured about the period of the rebellion of 1798, evidently for the purpose of exciting a prejudice in the minds of those who will be upon the jury. The motive, however, is too clear, as, if Mr. Hughes had really committed wilful perjury, or, as probably will turn out to be the case, made a simple mis take, it would have been just as easy, and rather more startling to the prosecution, for Mr. Barrett, when on his trial, to disprove Hughes's testimony by the witnesses whose informations he tendered, and then the jury would be able to form an adequate opinion as to his general accuracy or the contrary from the evidence; but the ob• ject appears have been to excite, previous to the trial, a prejudice against Mr. Hughes, and an impression that he is a hired informer, who is ready to swear up to the re quired mark, or else to deter him from coming forward at all. After the magistrate had heard several counsel in sup port of the application against Mr. Hughes, they decided not to take the informations. An address from Mr. O'Connell appeared to-day, which is full of exhortations to peace and order. In the corporation, yesterday, Mr. O'Connell, instead of the original notice of motion which he had given, " To submit to the consideration of the council the insult offered to the Lord Mayor and to the corporation, and the danger arising to the citizens at large by means of the issuing of an illegal proclamation, and by a total disregard of the Lord Mayor's undoubted power and willingness to keep the peace within the city.' " moved the following milk and water resolution : " ' That we deem the transmission of the proclamation to the Lord Mayor about the hour of four o'clock on Saturday, the 7th of October instant, to prevent a meet ing to be held on the next day, too late for the purposes of due caution, and especially too late for him to warn the citizens of Dublin of the impending peril.'" which was carried by a majority nf 38 to 9, despite of a most able and sarcastic speech by Alderman Butt; the discussion, however, shews that after all, the charges of insult and illegality which the learned gentleman was to have established, have deviated down to this; not that what the Government did was illegal, and was an insult, but that it ought to have been done long before, which is just what almost every conservative journal in the king dom has been dinning into their ears for the last six months ; in the meantime, in proportion as the agitators find their hold upon the affections of the people vitally as sailed, so they redouble their efforts to excite. Notwith standing the tranquil aspect of affairs, the military pre cautions which have been taken in order to prevent any sudden outbreak, are not in the slightest degree relaxed. In Limerick preparations are making for the reception of 1000 additional men. Mr. Keith's stores at Mount Kennett have been taken for their accommodation, and one of the workhouses is about to be applied to a similar purpose, and a considerable naval force will be assembled in the Shannon, under the command of Captain Austin, C.B. . _ Aldbornugh house, a spacious residence near the out skirts of Dublin, on the Clontarf road, is undergoing the necessary alterations to enable it to accommodate troops, and a large building on Usher's Quay, nearly opposite to the Four Courts, called Horne's Hotel, is, it is said, to be converted to the same use. Large placards are posted through the town, calling on all the outpensioners of Chel sea hospital in Dublin to attend on certain days next week to be examined for the purpose of being embodied in local companies, and all who shall not attend are warned that if they do not satisfactorily account for their absence their pensions will be stopped. Three half-pay officers have been struck off the list for joining the repeal movement. SUNDAY EVENING, OCT. 22. Nothing of moment has transpired in the city during the day. Two meetings were held to express confidence in the liberator; one of the post-office ward, and the other of St. Patrick's, at which resolutions were adopted to ad dress the legislature on the rights of petition for the re dress of grievances, and also of Implicit reliance on the dictates of the liberator. To-morrow the new grand Con ciliation Hall is to be opened ; the chair to be taken by Augustus John O'Neill, Esq. of Bornowen Castle, re cently a convert to the Roman Catholic faith, and for merly Tory M.P. for Hull. If the proceedings should prove interesting you may expect to hear from me by the late mail to-morrow night, and at all events I shall send you a sketch by the early mail. DANIEL O'CONNELL AND THE REPEAL ASSOCIATION The following intelligence was communicated to us by express, from our own correspondent, at an early hour on Tuesday morning last, and published before eight •'cluck in our Second Edition : DUBLIN, Monday, 16th Oct. 1843 Two o'clock, p.m. Mr. O'CosNELL returned to town this morning from Glencullun, about nine miles from Dublin, the seat of his son-in-law, C. Fitzaimon, Esq., whither he pro ceeded on Saturday evening to enjoy the mountain breezes yesterday. This morning's Freeman's Journal announces the useal weekly meeting of the National Repeal Association, to be held at the Corn Exchange, at one o'clock, and that the Liberator will attend. It set forth the nature of the informations which have been sworn, and which are so voluminous that they have not yet been furnished to Mr. O'Connell, though copies have been ordered to be given to him with the utmost desp4tch. Among other charges set forth in the informations against the Liberator, and upon which special counts will, it is presumed, be framed, are the following:—Levy ing money off the Queen's subjects—levying money off persons the subjects of foreign governments, for the pur poses of intimidation, and for the better advancement of seditious intents—assumption of prerogative in instituting courts of law. Also for seditiously and malignantly con spiring to and with each other to endeavour to seduce her Majesty's subjects in the Army and Navy from their allegiance to the throne, with conspiring to establish courts in order to supercede the courts of justice as esta blished by law, and with an attempt to overturn tne constitution as established, under the pretext of seeking for a repeal of the legislative union. A host of other allegations were made, ;ind sundry so called seditious speeches set forth, but the only precise information we have as yet been able to obtain regarding this extraordinary and intere.ting document, is contained in the above. _ _ _ _ . It is . presumed that the informations against the other gentlemen are nearly similar to those against Mr. O'Con nell—the speeches alone excepted. The several parties have engaged the most eminent counsel at the bar for their defence, a list of whom I sub join :—The Right Hon. Dr. Pigot, Q.C.; Richard Moore, Esq., Q.C.; John Hatchell, Esq., W. C.; Sir Coleman O'Loghlen, T. O'Hagan, Esq., and James Close, Esq., for Mr. O'Connell.—Solicitor, Mr. William Ford. For Mr. John O'Connell—Jonathan Henn, Esq.., Q C.; Gerald Fitzginbon, Esq., Q.C.; James Whiteside, Esq., Q. C.; and Francis M'Donagh, Esq., Q. C. ; Solicitor, Mr. Pierce Nlahony. _ _ However, it is indispensable that a license from the Crown should be obtained by the Queen's Counsel, in all cases in which the crown is a party, which has hitherto been always granted in such cases, whether the Govern ment may exercise their right in the present instance I cannot say. The meeting of the wards I alluded to in my letter of last night passed several resolutions expressive of their un bounded confidence in the Liberator—condemnatory of the government proceedings, and urging the necessity of all who had already contributed to the Repeal, contri buting a fresh subsidy under the head of Proclamation money, but none of the proceedings were of such impor tance as to be worth transmitting in detail. To-day, Dr. Gray, Messrs. C. G. Duffy, Thos. M. Ray, Thos. Steele, Rev. James Tyrrell, Rev. Thos. Tier ney, and Mr. Richard Barrett, attended at Judge Burton's, and ,entered into bail, themselves in £5OO, and two sure ties in £250 each. The following are the names of the sureties for Dr. Gray—Alderman Gardiner, and Robert ll'Clelland, T. C. for C. G. Duffy., Esq.—Aldermen Richard Grace, and Patrick O'Brien, T.C. ; for the Rey. Mr. Tyrrell—Thomas Car rall and Simon R. chard Fraser ; for 'rhos. M. Ray (Secretary to the Association)-- Patrick (VErien, T.C. and John Ketch ; for Ri chard Barrett (n•ho is the editor of the Pilot) T. Cr Brien, _Lord Mayor elect, and James Rooney ; for Thomas Steel—James Rooney and Alderman M'Ken na'; for the Rev. T. Tierney—Alderman M`Keuna and Wm. M'Gennis. REPEAL ASSOCIATION signed. Four o'clock. Mr. O'Connell is on hiFi legs at the Corn Exchange, (John ('Neill, Esq., of Bunowen Castle, ex-justice of the peace, in the chair,) all the avenues to which are densely crowded. Several members of the Association and gentlemen of the press hsve had to leave the door, being unable to procure admission. The rent, the amount of which has not yet been announced. will, it is confidently asserted, exceed Twelve Hundred Pounds.. One hundred has been received from Limerick.. The Chairman intro duced his son to the Association, handing in £5 as his subscription to the Proclamation Fund. Half -past Four o'clock. Mr. O'Connell's speech is tending in favour of a FEDERAL UNION, and a consequent abandonment of Repeal, and is much subdued in tone. NEW LAW APPOINTMENTS. There is little doubt that the Right Honourable Francis Blackburne, Master of the Rolls, will succeed the present Justice of the Queen's Bench, and be succeeded in the Rolls by Mr. Sergeant Warren. We received the following, also from our own corre spondent, by the mail-packet, and published it in our Third Edition at Eleven o'clock : MOST IMPORTANT ABANDONMENT OF REPEAL FOR FEDE- RALISM Half-past Seven o'clock . I send you a full report of the proceedings this day at the LOYAL NATIONAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The avenues leading to the Corn Exchange were densely crowded long before one o'clock. The chair was taken by John Augustus O'Neill, Esq., of Bun owen Castle, county Galway, formerly M.P. for Hull, and a captain of dragoons; and subsequently a deputy lieutenant and magistrate, both of which offices he re- The CH AIRMAN said, that when he heard of the arrest of O'Connell and his son, he was determined that O'Neill should not be backward in sharing the post of honour and of peril. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear," and cheers.) He proceeded to explain the grounds of his conviction that repeal was necessary for Ireland, and was discussing the subject of federal legislation when, at one o'clock precisely, the Liberatorentered the meeting, accompanied by his sons, the Member for Kilkenny, and Daniel O'Conr.ell, jun., upon which the entire assembly rose, and the cheering was kept up for several minutes. He (Mr. O'N.) deprecated the use of the word Saxon as a term of reproach, and said that all that was good and favour able to liberty in the British constitution was handed down from the Saxon—the evil was introduced by the Normans (hear, hear). He would go from that chair to the dungeon, and from the dungeon to the scaffold rather than admit that he was deterred from seeking right and justice by the insulting presence of troops and artillery (great cheering). The soldier in Russia was a mere machine—a fire-lock upon legs (laughter). The French soldiers were armed and disciplined citizens. No men knew better where the duty of the soldier ended, and that of the citizen commenced (hear, hear). He trusted our own soldiery would never forget the distinction (loud cheers). We observed seated at the end of the reporter's table, Inspector Maher, who took a note in a book when any one of " the conspirators" rose to speak. After subscriptions had been handed in from various places, Mr. O'CoNNELL said—He would, at the conclusion of his remarks, move that their present chairman be re quested to act as chairman on Monday, at the meeting which would be held in the Conciliation Hall, which would then be ready for that purpose. (Hear, hear.) He also promised that for the future he (Mr. O'Connell) and he trusted the association also, would give up the word " Saxon," as it was calculated to give offence. — ( Hear, hear.) When they first used the term (and it should be recollected that the only phrase in Irish to ex- press the word Englishman, was " Sassenach")—Lord Stanley was very angry, and they used it ten times more on that account at the time. The use of it was sub sequently revived when they were branded as aliens in language, in blood, and religion. by Lord Lyndhurst, and it had been pretty freely applied ever since ; but he now promised that for the future the word should not pass his lips, or if it inadvertently fell from him at any time, he would immediately retract it. (Hear, hear.) Having denied that the people were obnoxious to the charge of disloyalty, but, on the contrary, entitled to the greatest praise for their strict obedience to the laws, Mr. O'Con nell came to the topic of a federal parliament. In the corporation debate on repeal, lie had declared his willing ness to accept a federal parliament, and instanced Canada, where such a parliament had done much good. Since then many persons had joined that association, who went no fur ther than a federal union, and he had lately received a letter from a gentleman of hieh distinction in England on the subject, in which his (Mr. O'Connell's) attention was directed to two points, concerning which the writer be lieved it to be of the greatest importance that the people of England should have correct information before they would join generally or extensively with that association— (hear.) The first point was, that it should be shown to the people of England that Irishmen, in seeking for the restoration of a parliament to their country, strove only to procure for themselves the management of their own local and internal affairs, leaving matters of national importance to both countries to be legislated upon by representatives from both countries in the imperial legislature. The next point was that Englishmen should be satisfied that as they co-operated with Irishmen, so Irishmen should assist Englishmen in their struggle to obtain a full, fair, and free representation—(hear, hear, hear.) lie (Mr. O'Connell) would meet such propositions in the spirit in which they were put forward, and he told that gentleman that, if a sufficient nnmber of the Eng lish people came forward, there would be no difficulty in arranging repeal on the definite terms mentioned by him. (Hear, hear.) Let him not be taunted with shrink. ing when he accepted these terms, for by doing so, they not only took away all argument from their enemies, but 1 1 merely followed a course to which the association was already pledged by the admission of the Catholic Bishop of Killaloe, and other gentlemen, on the same terms. (Hear, hear, hear.) The change of which they were on the eve, must be bloodless and sinless. He had ascer tained, by a series of monster meetings, that the people were peaceable and determined to obey the law. Acting on the advice of Grattan, who declared that repeal was impossible—the national voice was clearly ascertained to be in favour of it. He had ascertained that voice so far in peace and quietness, and if the proclamation had not been issued he should have gone on as quietly to the end. He had been told the day before that he should be pre vented from addressing that meeting to-day, but he re plied that that could not be, because he was the auxiliary of the government in preaching peace. If the government were to interfere with him in that room, would it not be said that, having failed to irritate the people by the Clon tarf proclamation, they wanted to do so by arresting the man who preached peace ? Therefore he was there to preach peace. The Repeal rent was then announced to be £1,232, and the meeting was adjrnrned to Monday next (yesterday), when the Conciliation Hall will be ready for use. THE REPEAL CRISIS : FRESH PROSECUTIONS. We learn that informations have been sworn against Mr. O'Connell and others, on account of the proceedings at Clifden, in the county of Galway, at the " monster meeting" held there on Sunday, the 17th of September, Lord Ffrench in the chair. The information sworn by James Ireland, sub-inspector of constabulary, sets forth that the meeting was attended by Daniel O'Connell, Thomas Steele, Dr. Gray. and Thomas Dillon Browne, with many others,—that the last-named gentleman, ad. dressing the meeting, said, "This is a glorious demon stration that would strike terror into Peel and Welling• ton." Speaking of Mr. D'Arcy, a magistrate of the county, and proprietor of the soil, Mr. Browne applied the terms, " Paltry miscreant and contemptible wretch." ...• . The meeting was composed of about ten thousand per sons, one thousand of whom were on horseback, arranged in military order, and moved according to orders. Mr. O'Connell, addressing the meeting, said, " H e could not hut admire the regularity with which the cavalry defiled in the rear. Little business the English cavalry would have in following them over the mountain. d a d they not ready arms to assist him, if necessary ? li e would make Ireland a nation." Informations are also lodged against the Pilot, the Nation, and the Freeman's Journal newspapers. The articles of the Pilot accounted seditious are as fol low :—That published on the 28th of August, entitled "The Duty of a Soldier ;" that of the 6th of September, styled " Irish in the English Army ;" that of the 15th of September, purporting to be Mr. O'Connell's addres "To the Inhabitants of the Counties subject to the British Crown ;" another article of the 22d of September, pur porting to be a letter signed "'Richard Power, P.P. ;" an article of the 25th of September, entitled "The Army, the People, and the Government t" and an article, same date, " Rumoured death of General Jackson : Battle of New Orleans." _ _ The last of the Pilot articles was published on the 6th of October, entitled " The Battle of Clontarf." Then comes the Nation, of the 26th of August. The articles of that date are styled " The crisis is upon us." The next is the address of Mr. O'Connell, before men tioned, published in the Nation of the 16th of September; '. , n(l the third article of the same paper, purports to he a letter signed " A del Cassian." The article of the Free man is the aforesaid address of Mr. O'Connell. H ere we end fcr the presext.—Dublin Evening Packet.

RIJN ON THE BANK OF IRELAND.—BALIANASLOE, OCTOBER 13.—1 t may be important for you to know that the run on the bank for gold still continues. To-day the hank-office was crowded by country people, and to morrow being market-day it is expected that a tremendous run will be made. A beggarman eAI exchanged his rags for gold yesterday. A rumour is abroad now that all exeiscable ,rticles will be prohibited from use.

The greatest anxiety has been evinced to learn the origin of the disaster. The Tipperary Con ga/it/ion states that :the noble marquis is very much an noyed at the circumstance; and, having recently re ce i ve d some threatening notices, be attributes it to malice, and has, ander that impression, ordered his establishment to be immediately removed from Lakefield.

A MATRIMONIAL. BROKER.-At the Clonmel Quarter Sessions, on Saturday week, a very extraordinary case was tried, in which the plaintiff, John Reynolds, who earns his livelihood by playing the fiddle at balls and par ties, sought to recover from a medical practitioner, resi ding in the district, the sum of £2O, for " care and dili gence, and labour undergone by him in negotiating cer tain matrimonial transactions for the defendant." He had been engaged in four affairs, three of which had been to no purpose. The first involved a journey to Cork ; the second to Kilkenny'; the third to Waterford ; and the fourth, which proved successful, to Clonmel, where the plaintiff, after bringing the negotiations to a close, enact ed the parts of minstrel and valet for the individual whose happiness he had taken so much pains to secure. A ver dict for 20s. was returned. THE GOVERNMENT PROSECUTIONS. — The informa tion upon which Mr. Justice Burton issued his war rant for the arrest of the nine repeaters now under recognizances is extremely lengthy. The information is sworn by Mr. Frederick Bond Hughes, one of the short hand writers connected with Mr. Gurney's establishment, in London. The document is of great length ; but it is not to be supposed that it contains the whole, or even any considerable portion of the evidence that will be adduced on the approaching trials. The purpose of such informa tion is merely to lay before the magistrate to whom it is presented sufficient grounds for the issuing of a warrant, and it is with a view to enabling him to dispute the valid ity of the warrant that a late act entitles a party arrested to a copy of the information. All this, however, has nothing to do with the issue upon the trial in court, which trial might indeed be had after an indictment found, with out any of these preliminary forms. " MANY A TRUE WORD SAID IN JEST."—The follow ing appears in a prominent part of the Dublin Freeman's Journal, with all the collateral advantages derivable from large types, double leads, and the various other resources of the printing-office, which it were vain to attempt de scribing to the uninitiated, to whom it would appear as " Heathen Greek" : " (ADVERTISEMENT.) " THE NEXT MONI6I ER MEETING " The next monster meeting is to be held at Newgate. The head pacificator will take the chair. Gentlemen anxious to be present will please apply for tickets of ad mission at the Council-chamber, Dublin Castle, or to the office of the Crown Solicitor, 40, Kildare-street. Early application will be neces:,ary, the number of tickets being limited. " T. D—GRAY, Secretary." There cannot be a doubt of Mr. O'Connell's being accom modated with lodgings in Newgate, for two years at the least ; and therefore it is not at all improbable that the hopes held out in the foregoing advertisement may be realised to the full extent, and the adage of " many a true word said in jest " be verified to the letter. WALES STATE OF SOUTH WALES On Thursday night week a party of persons calling themselves Rebeccaites p:oceeded to a cottage at St. Clear's, eight miles from Swansea, knocked up the man, named James Thomas, who resided in it, who has but one arm, told him he had lived for a long time in a poor cot tage, and he should have a better residence. They then, to the great terror of his wife, compelled her to assist in packing up all her furniture, which they placed in a cart at the door, and then carried the man, his wife, and furni ture, to a tollhouse of a gate called Pwiltrapgate, which was demolished a few days ago, the toll-house being un occupied. They unloaded the man's furniture, and put it into the house, and told him to remain there, and not go away at his peril, and that he was not to take any toll. The mob of people then proceeded to the house of Mr. Bevnon, the magistrate, fired a number of shots through his windows, and stuck the following notice on the door post of his house : " Rebecca hereby gives you notice, that if you attempt to dismiss James Thomas, now in possession of the house that formerly belonged to the Pwlltrap turnpike-gate, you will be remembered in future time; and any one doing so will be dragged to pieces between four horses." This notice was sent with 4d. to the clerk of Bethany Chapel there, with an order to him to publish it in the chapel on Sunday. Mr. Beynon was not at home at the time, but on his return he found eleven sings, which had been fired through his bedroom windows, lying on his bed. What makes this act appear more daring is the fact that a strong party of the 4th Light Dragoons are stationed in the town of St. Clear's. Since this transaction some of the Metropolitan Police have been sent there. The same night two wheat ricks were set on fire to in the neighbourhood of Llangendeirne. On Sunday night a threatening notice, signed by " Re becca," was sent to Mr. Kynaston, of Blaen Corse, near St. Clear's, by post, stating that if he did not return some pigs, a calf, and other things, which he had taken as a composition for a debt which a tenant owed him for the rent of some cows, let out by Mr. Kynaston at so much per head by the year, " Rebecca would in a few nights come and visit him, and lie might depend upon it that this was not words only." In consequence of this notice the police have instructions to he on the alert. On Tuesday night two more prisoners were brought from the neighbourhood of Llanelly to the county gaol, Carmarthen, charged with having committed burglaries in connexion with the Rebecca outrages. The effect of the dispersion of the London police about the country is be ginning to show itself in numerous apprehensions, which are taking place every day. On Wednesday a young farmer from the neighbour hood of Llandovery was brought to the county gaol in custody of the dragoons. An auctioneer, named Williams, of Llandovery, bought an estate, which was to be sold cheap ; and this farmer, thinking he had got it unfairly, sent him a threatening letter to give up the title deeds, or beware of the consequences. The hand-writing of this farmer Mr. Williams has recognised, and sworn to, and be has in consequence been apprehended. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. " Amalgamation " is the order of the day. A junction between the North Union and Bolton and Preston Rail way Companies is talked of. SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY.—Damage to the amount of £lOOO, it is thought, has been done, by the high winds and spring tides, to the works and materials of this rail way, between Archcliff Fort and the Stine head. The branch from the Manchester and Birmingham Railway to Macclesfield, is now in a fair way of being constructed, surveyors and others being engaged staking out the line preparatory to the operations of the con tractors. It will branch off at or near Cheadle liulme. We learn from Dover that &image to the amount of £lOOO, it is thought, has been done by the high wind and spring -tides to the works and materials of the South- Eastern Railway, between Archeliff Ford and the Stine Head. OXFORD AND DIDCOT RAILWAY.—We understand that the works on this line are progressing rapidly, chiefly in the neighbourhood of Hadley and Appleford ; and there is but little doubt that the opening of the railway will take place in June, previous to the grand commemoration which will take place next year.—atford Herald. An accident occurred on Tuesday night last on the Dover Railway, whereby the driver of the train which reaches the London terminus at a quarter-past ten o'clock has unfortunately lost his life. It seems that the poor fellow, in leaning over the engine carriage, overbalanced himself and Itll under the wheels. PLYMOUTH, DEVONPORT, AND EXETER RAILWAY. —The arrangement with the Great Western, Bristol and Exeter, and Bristol and Gloucester Railway Company, for the advance of £lllO,OOO sas been perfected, and last week the shareholders met at Plymouth, to elect the seven directors apportions d to the shareholders. It is said that Mr. George Hudson, of York, will be appointed chairman of the three amalgamated Midland Railway Companies ; the honourable gentleman will then be chairman of no less than six lines, namely, the Mid land Counties, Derby Junction, North Midland, York and North Midland, the Newcastle and Darlington, and Leeds and Stlby.--Hull Packet. On Sunday some miscreant placed a plank across the line on the Great Western Railway near Twyford, for the purpose of upsetting the mail train, but his diabolical attempt was providentially frustrated by the discovery of the object by a policeman on duty. A fellow in the em ploy of Mr. Cotterell, of Ruscombe, as shepherd, is in custody on the charge.--Berk.s Chronicle. A line from the landing pier at Fleetwood, to Furness, is now being thought of by the people of Lancashire, who calculate on the support of the Duke of Buckingham ani the Earl of Burlington, through whose property a portion of the proposed line is to run. Mr. \\Talker estimates the cost at £lOO,OOO. It is to be worked by horse traction, but the line is to be so constructed as to be applicable, if requisite, to steam conveyanee, since it may afterwards be made to constitute part of the main line to the north of Fleetwood, by Carlisle, and to the west of England. BURSTING OF A STEAM ENGINE ON THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY.—BRIGHTON, TUESDAY. — This morning some anxiety was manifested in this town through the first train, which leaves London at half-past eight, not arriving at its proper time. It may be obser ved that more notice is taken of the arrival of this train than any other, in consequence of its being that by which the London morning journals are conveyed to Brighton. It appears that the train kept its time up to the Hassocks station, which is within eight miles of Brighton, and the last stoppage it had to make. A short distance from the north entrance to Clayton tunnel some of the tubes of the boiler suddenly burst. The engineer immediately gave the signal to the guards to put on the breaks, and was promptly answered, and as the engine did not stop, pre vented the slightest collision • but, notwithstanding, some alarm was created amongst the passengers. The engine was unhooked from the train, and endeavoured to make its way to Brighton to obtain assistance, but the escape of water was so great that it put out the tires, and left it in the middle of Clayton tunnel. The alarm signals were immediately hoisted, and every precaution taken to pre vent the possibility of an accident by collision with the other trains. At this time the train of carriages was a short distance from the entrance to the tunnel on the north side, and the engine stuck fast in the centre. Mes- sengers were dispatched to Brighton for assistance, but before their arrival, the pilot engine, which had been Ihelping the ten o'clock up-train, returned, and dragged the train and damaged engine in safety to Brighton, where it arrived at ten minutes to twelve. The excellent arrange: ments for the prevention of accidents was fully developed upon this occasion. UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL NEWS.

The follow ing official announcement has b en just Issued by the Vice Chancellor of the University : " Trinity College Lodge, Oct. 17 " The Vice-Chancellor has the high gratification of an nouncing to the members of the University, that it is the intention of her most gracious Majesty the Queen, and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, to honour the Univer sity with a visit on Wednesday, the 25th instant.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF A CLERGYMAN. — A paragraph is going round the papers annuuneeing the sudden disappearance of the Rev. Mr. Barrett, of Bir mingham. The fact appears simply to be this, that the rev, gentleman is in pecuniary difficulties, arising from his becoming surety for a party, and this is the reason of his temporary absence from his parish. THE CHESTER DIOCESAN SCHOOL FOR FEMALES.— The institution at Chester for educating the daughters of clergymen officiating in the diocese, and for training up other young females as governesses, is to he opened early in January.

REV. THOMAS DALE.-Sir Robert Peel has presented the vacant canonry at St. Paul's to the Rev. Thomas Dale, Vicar of St. Bride's. The intimation was c.•nveyed to Mr. Dale in a very handsome letter from the Premier himself, in which Mr. Dale's laborious and exemplary dis charge of his duties, as vicar of that large parish daring the last eight years, was declared to be the sole ground of this promotion. The canonry gave to Mr. Tate, who lately held it, an annual income of £2300. Under tht• church reform bills its revenue is reduced to .V.OOO a year. We beg to remind our readers that the fifth of Novem ber is just at hand, and that it falls this year on Sunday. All the members of our church, therefore, will have a full opportunity and a sacred privilege of enjoying the service appointed for that ever-memorable and glorious day on the Sabbath. There is no service, peril pa, in our Book of Common Prayer, more appropriately arranged or more elegantly drawn up than the one appointed for that two fold memorial. We trust our clergy will universally ob serve the ordinance this year. The people will heartily join them in the observance, and rev ond, at this time, in accents of praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God, for a threefold deliverance from the hands of our enemies.
