We hear him in public denouncing, for alleged oppressions, the class doomed to fall beneath the assassin's blud geon or musket. Sprung from the peasant class himself, and still little removed from them in his sympathies and his interest, too often the great in fluence which he possesses in virtue of his sacer dotal office is used rather to increase the acerbity of the popular feeling, than to erect a spiritual bar rier between crime and its consummation. The religion of the people of Ireland has in it something of vitality, or it is an empty profession. The Roman Catholic priesthood of Ireland have a certain sway on the minds of their flocks, or the vaunted discipline of that church is a mere pre tence—vox et preterea nihil. Are the religious ad visers of these organised bands of murderers—these approvers of murders, before and after the fact— cognizant of what is going on around them ? Are they aware of murder perpetrated, or to be Derpe- traced, and make no sign ?. The question is a seri ous one. It concerns the temporal and eternal fate of a whole people, taught to believe that, as a fal lible man, invested with the power of absolving from sin, inclined to be merciful and approving, or harsh, the otherwise well defined crime of murder is a praiseworthy or a damning deed. The Roman Catholic population of Ireland, we are told, are strict in the observances of the duties of religion ; regular in their attendance at the confessional ; rigid in the keeping of their fasts, the performance of their penance, and the maintenance of the privi leges and immunities claimed for their church. Yet all this external conforming appears to be not at all incompatible with the practice or the know ledge of deeds of blood. We are bound in common charity to conclude that they lay bare the surface of their hearts only to the priesthood; that there is a dark recess which they never open to his view, the key of which is kept only by the Ribbon con spiracy, whose mandates are regarded as more binding, and obeyed with more fear and respect, than the mandates of their church and their God. The record of the last of these hideous crimes whioh has reached our ears affords ample proof of the inefficacy of the Romish system in Ireland to repress the criminal acts of its people. We quote it from the Dublin Evening Mail : " STROKESTOWN, Tuesday night.—As Major Mahon was returning home from a meeting of the board of guardians of Roscommon Union, this evening, he was shot dead by an assassin, about four miles from Strokes town. The melancholy occurrence took place about 20 minutes past six o'clock. " Major Mahon has been in possession of the Hartland property for a couple of years. The tenants owed three years' rent, amounting to £30,000. " At first the tenants refused either to pay rent, till the land, or give it up. Last year, however, a large por tion of them agreed to leave the country, and Major Mahon, at his own expense, chartered two vessels, and sent a number of the tenantry to America. Long, how ever, before this occurred, it was well known in the country ,That Major Mahon was a doomed man. His name stood first upon a list of 12 gentlemen, all of whom have been doomed to death on account of their refusal to continue the conacre system. The failure of the potato crop saved them for the time. As Major Mahon has been taken off, there is little doubt that other gentlemen will soon follow. " Major Mahon, within the last few clays, was publicly denounced, in one of the reports to head-quarters, as an absentee, and one who refused to contribute to the local subscriptions of the neighbourhood." It was " well known " that this gentleman, en gaged though he was in active efforts to promote the welfare of his tenantry, was to die by violence. It was matter of notoriety to hundreds of his own tenantry and his neighbours. Hundreds of these people must have approached the confessional, and received the absolution of their priests, with the knowledge of the coming perpetration of this deed of blood locked fast in their breasts, At this mo ment, doubtless hundreds are acquainted with the name, the person, and the hiding place of the assassin ; if indeed a hiding place is regarded as necessary amongst a people, whose sympathies even bear more strongly towards the criminal than to his illfated victim. Should the law be enabled to reach him and to visit upon him the penalty due to his offence, he will doubtless in his last hour at length make a clean breast, and unburden his soul to his priest; and probably, such is the strangely contradictory course of perverted human nature, he will die loudly protesting his innocence ! the ministe r o f G od, who And more strange still, has heard the truth from his lips, may hear also, without contradicting it, the lie with which he per mits his soul to be hurried into the presence of his Maker.. It has ever been held that the Church of Rome wielded a spiritual power strong enough to crush a far more potent machinery of evil, than that which binds together the ribbon conspiracy in Ireland. It is clear, however, that beyond the utterance of a few feeble protests, that church is not disposed to interfere, although it is only fair to presume that, through the confessional, its priesthood possess details sufficient to enable them to hand over its leading agents to justice, and to free the mass of the peasantry of Ireland from the slavery in which TO CORRESPONDENTS.

The decision was in favour of the appellant,— compensation £3OO, costs £7l. ROGERS V. THE BURGESSES The appellant was clerk to the paving and sewerage commissioners in Toxteth-park. His claim was objected to by the Corporation on grounds similar to the preceding case. The Court awarded him £2lO compensation, and £34 costs. DICKENSON V. THE BURGESSES GRIFFITH V. THE BURGESSES The appellant had been collector of highway rates in the township of Everton. He estimated his emoluments at £lO4 per annum.

We deeply regret to state that Mr. Thomas Mercer Sudlow—an active and clever cashier in Messrs. Moss and Co.'s bank—died of typhus fever on Saturday. He was taken ill on Tuesday.

Ban/ poured upon us from tl f-- - ' • ' _ . ,hose countries, rrom which we had been drawing our supplies of breadstuffs and other foreign commodities; the bank inter posed its veto. It had itself to protect. The specie which had been extracted from its coffers compelled a resort to limitation of discounts and of paper issue ; and, with orders to be executed, and bills, remitted to pay for them, we were in a dead lock. The usurious interest demanded for cash, for bills of unexceptionable character, swept away the margin of profit derivable from the exe cution of such orders at legitimate prices. As the result, our mills are standing ; our manufacturing population idling in the streets of our large towns, hunger and penury are in the poor man's home, and insolvency stares his employers in the face. This great commercial country, by the aid of its vast mass of capital and its indomitable industry, was to become . , by the aid of our free trade system, the depot of the produce of the globe. We were to be the merchants, the warehousemen, the bankers, and the brokers of half mankind. We duly received the promise of consignments ; but our means to hold them broke down in the effort. Only an artificially restricted currency is given us to transact a business which was to be without limit. The result has been ruin to the merchant who has embarked in large transactions on the faith of the promises held out to him, and serious loss to the foreigner who has entrusted his adven tures in our hands. We have failed in fulfilling the trust reposed in us; and we shall be trusted no more until a better and more healthy regime is provided for us. It is urged against commercial men, that they have been improvident ; that they invested too freely in railways and other similar undertakings. It seems that we have done so. We did not, how ever, find out that fact until our boasted system, .which was to check improvident investments, re minded us of it, when it was too late to retrace our steps. Did any of our currency doctors tell us any thing of this in time ? Did Sir Robert Peel, when he was performing on the Trent Valley Railway the part of an amateur navvie, whisper a fear that the prosperity surrounding us was too exuberant to last ? Not a word. We saw the price of the na tional securities run up until the Right Hon. Bart. was enabled to perform the financial operation, by which half per cent. was saved in the payment of interest upon a portion of the national indebted ness. But we never heard a word about any diffi culty until we had to perform the clumsy operation of paying into the Exchequer the railway deposits. Still Parliament never interfered to stop us in our railway mania. Lines were sanctioned which it is now said are not needed, and for the construction of which there is not money ; but for the evidence of a check or a hint on the part of Government or of Parliament, we look in vain. PORTRAIT OF THE REV. DR. M'NEILE.—Of the various portraits of this excellent divine, we were last night favoured with a sight of decidedly the best—at least as regards an inimitable likeness—which has yet been taken. The reverend gentleman is represented as stand ing on a platform, with his arms folded in his characteristic dignified posture, addressing a public meeting, and the attitude and expression of countenance are, we think, precisely those which Dr. M'lsTeile's friends would wish the painter to have caught. The portrait is painted in water-colours, and has, we understand, been taken by Mr. Tatham, the artist, for the purpose of being introg duced into the painting of the stone-laying of the Sailors Home, now in course of completion, by that talented gentleman. We observe that the painting will be on view for a week at Burland's rooms, in Church street. POLICE COURT. — There were about a hundred and twenty prisoners brought before Mr. Rushton yesterday, but none of the charges were of importance, by far the greater number of cases involving a charge of " drunk, and booked for safety," or " drunk and disorderly." The prisoners of the former class were nearly all discharged without other punishment than their night or two nights lodging in Bridewell—the gathering having included Sa turday and Sunday —the gaol being, we believe, female, named Elizabeth Smith, was charged with steal ing several salted hams from a person named John Woods, on Saturday last. The prosecutor kept a stall, and the mother of the prisoner the adjoining one. Four hams were stolen, but two of them only were traced to the pri soner. The entire value was £2 4s. As further evi dence was expected, the case was remanded to this day. Further evidence went to show that on the night in question deceased was first struck by a man named Brady. Freeman and his wife were in custody in court. The former said a few words, to the effect that Brady had first assaulted the deceased. The latter said nothing. Mr. Bradshaw, surgeon, said he had accompa n i e d M r . St. Pierre to see the patient the day before his death. His evidence merely went to show that he neither approved nor disapproved of Mr. St. Pierre's treatment at that time. Mr. St. Pierre said that he had been urged by the friends of deceased to bleed him, and that being unable to obtain blood from the upper part of the body, he had resorted to the lower, and had also applied salt. His treatment, whatever was there thought of it, was war ranted by the practice of the first medical man on the continent. He elicited from Dr. Bradshaw the fact that he was perfectly sober, and not drunk, as had been stated in some of the papers. The Coroner summed up at considereble length. A blow had undoubtedly been struck, and 'a mortal one, by, it appeared, Brady, and a question arose whether Freeman and his wife were accessaries in the second degree. In law, however, though such a blow was dealt, if death were afterwards accelerated by the gross negligence of a practitioner, regular or irregular, or through his crimi nal inattention, or culpable rashness, such practitioner was amenable to a charge of manslaughter, and the in flictor of the deadly blow was absolved. He explained the case as affecting the parties, and read a " note received from Mr. St. Pierre Kemble, by which he certified that the deceased was (on the day of his death) in so precarious a state that his death might be anticipated under two hours," which death, he adds, has beerroccasioned by my interference with Mr. Lynch's treatment of the case, or by blows received on the 10th October, inflicted by Thady Freeman, his wife Bridget, Martin Tobin, and others. The jury retired, and after a consultation returned a verdict of manslaughter against Grady (not in custody) and Freeman and his wife. The two latter were conse quently conveyed to Kirkdale, under the coroner's war rant, to be tried at the next assizes. The female had merely uttered a harsh expression relative to the deceased on the night of the assault. The coroner then discharged Mr. St. Pierre. PUBLIC MEETING AT BIRKENHEAD LAST to no it.—ivir. HALL said the legal trustees of the building had never received notice of the sale. Mr. Bogie only had been informed of it, and he had not communicated it to the rest.—Mr. BANNER did not consider he was to blame for the neglect of the trustees. He was not acting for himself, but for others.—Mr. HALL : It would only have been fair to give all the trustees notice of the sale. To pick out one person looked as if there was some collusion. He wished them to understand that they must take upon themselves all the consequences which might arise out of the sale. They might depend upon it he would have an eye upon them.—Mr. BANNER begged that Mr. Hall would be cautious in the observa tions he made. He did not understand the meaning of the reflections he had made.—Mr. BRANCH (the auc tioneer) did not see that the present discussion had anything to do with the sale.—Mr. Hall seemed to be intent upon a personal attack on Mr. Banner. The conditions were here read, and several questions were asked upon them, and as to the terms of the lease on which the property is held from the Corpora tion.—Mr. HALL wished to know from Mr. Banner, soli citor, whether he was not aware that the Trustees had the power to sell the property for the purpose of paying off the mortgages, which might have saved them the trouble of the present sale.—Mr. E. BANNER, solicitor. was not aware of it.—Mr. HALL felt much surprised at that.—On the suggestion of Mr. HALL, the conditions of the lease referring to the purposes for which the build ing was to be used, were read. They stipulated that it was to be used only for the celebration of divine ser vice according to the forms of the Church of Scotland.— Dr. WINTYRE thought that a building which had cost £14,000 ought not to be sacrificed for a mortgage of £2,000. The mortagees had sent notice to certain of the trustees, six or eight months ago, of their intention to sell, and the meeting would easily imagine the consterna tion of the shareholders when he said that only within the last week or two had they been made acquainted with it. What had taken place at the opening of the sale might have appeared irregular, but he thought the gentlemen present would agree with him that the shareholders had a right•to complain of the conduct of the trustees. He made this explanation to satisfy Mr. Banner. He regretted Mr. Hall had insinuated any collusion on Mr. B.'s part. It was evident that gentleman was only acting for others, and if the property was sacrificed he could not be blame able.—A SHAREHOLDER here asked if £3 18s annum, payable to the Corpor mid.—Mr. E. BANNER t Nn had r per gularly atmg that there is 231 years' rental due. (Laughter.)—Mr. BRANCH here put up the property. The first bid was £2OOO from Josias Booker, Esq., followed by a bid of £2lOO from Mr. Andrews. These gentlemen had, indeed, all the bidding to themselves. The bidding ran up to £4OOO by Mr. Booker, and £4050 by Mr. Andrews, and after a pause of some duration Mr. Branch endeavoured to obtain another bid from Mr. Booker. when that " No, I have done, and since I have found out that the gentleman bidding is doing so for its being made into a Wesleyan chapel, lam sorry, 1 bid so much. I live near the place, and was afraid it might possibly be converted into a foundry, or some other such nuisance." (Laughter.) The property was ultimately knocked down to Mr. An drews for £4050, who, it is understood, has purchased it on behalf of the Wesleyan Methodist body. NIGHT, Last evening a public meeting was held in the Craven Rooms, Chester-street, to take into consideration the propriety of applying for a charter of incorporation for the township. The meeting was called by the overseers, on a requisition presented to them by the inhabitants of Birkenhead and Claughton ; the requisition was headed by the signature of William Jackson, Esq., M.P. The meeting was very numerously attended. On the motion of one of the Overseers, -W .—Yesterday the two men, who I meeting by taking a graphic survey of the past and pre were last week remanded, as having been in possession of sent position of Birkenhead.

We cannot too highly recommend this in these cheap church building days : there are other churches wanted, and we do hope that the different com mittees, exercising a most rigid economy, will be most scrupulously careful over the funds that have been en trusted to them, and that have been collected with so much labour and anxiety for this purpose. The founda tion is proposed to be laid on the Ist of January, 1848. The church is to accommodate twelve hundred worshippers; and spacious schools, are to be connected with it. The spire will be 150 feet above the level of Gore-street, and will form a striking obiect in the neighbourhood. THE WEATHER.—We do not remember witnessing so mild and gentle an opening of the " g l oom y month' as the present. From the beginning, in fact, to the present time, the weather has been extremely fine and open, with occasional strongish breezes, chiefly from the south-east. There has been very little downfal of rain during the past week, and the fields were in prime order for ploughing or sowing wheat, or gathering field turnips, &c., the potato crop being now all secured. .Such has been the tempera ture, that vegetation was never observed to be more rapid. We have noticed a field of wheat belonging to H. Little dale, Esq., at Wallasey, which, though very recently sown, presents a most beautifully-advanced and verdant appear ance. It is drill-sown, and with a mathematical linear accuracy, shewing the advantage of modern implements and improved husbandry. Should the weather remain equally dry for two or three weeks, all the fields intended for wheat will be sown ; and, upon an average, the work be completed earlier than usual in the season. The month so far, in fact, resembles March or April; and the coun try, though the trees are nearly denuded of their leafy honours, still' presents a pleasing, green appearance. The grass fields are luxuriant; and where turnips have not yet been raised from the ground, they continue to bulb out and increase in weight. ADULTERATED FLOUR. — On Friday, two cases in which whole families had been taken ill, in consequence of eating bread made with adulterated flour, were brought under the notice of the Leeds borough magistrates, by Mr. Chorley, surgeon, of this town. He stated that the flour had been adulterated with plaster of Paris, and the suf ferers alleged that they had purchased it from a man named Samuel Vickers, who has two shops, one in George's-street, and the other in High-street, and the other in High-street. Mr. Chorley added, that the indi vidual in question had sold his flour 2d. per stone below the regular price. —Leeds Intelligencer. RAILWAY WORKS.—It is said that replies have been received from various railway boards to the memorial of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce with regard to the suspension of works. From the Lancashire and Yorkshire ; Leeds and Thirsk ; Ambergate, Nottingham, and Boston; London, Brighton, and South Coast; North Staffordshire, and Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midlands, answers of an indefinite character have been received ; the Shrewsbury and Hereford Company express concurrence in the prayer of the memorial ; the Norfolk Company add to a like statement that they have confined their works to the smallest compass. Lord Yarborough, chairman of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, states that he is anxious, and he believes that the board generally is, to avoid the active prosecution of any works the completion of which is not of the most urgent im portance. The Edinburgh and Glasgow, without con curring in all the views set forth in the memorial, think it most desirable that powers should be obtained from Parliament for facilitating the dissolution of companies, and for extending the periods for the completion of works. The Liverpool, Manchester, and Newcastle Junction fully concur in the prayer of the memorial, and state that they had already anticipated its object. they are unwillingly held.

Th e y d eman d e d ,er a very brief while, insist on inquiry, and will, of COMPENSATION UNDER THE SANATORY ACT.- THE APPEALS AGAINST THE TOWN COUNCIL. Yesterday morning, Gilbert Henderson, Esq., the Recorder, gave in his decision upon the appeals made against the decisions of the Town Council by the several parties who, having been deprived of office by the opera tions of the sanatory act passed last year, had, under the provisions of that act, claimed compensation. The first case was that of E. G. DEANE V. THE MAYOR AND BURGESSES. In this case the appellant, in addition to his salary of £lOO per annum, as clerk to the Highway Board, was employed as an attorney to enforce the payment of the highway, &c., rates, and also for promoting any bills in Parliament. The fees from that employment were much larger than his salary ; and the Town Council contended, that in awarding him compensation, it should be entirely confined to his salary, as the fees which be had obtained as attorney might have been given to any other attorney. It was upon the construction of the clause in the act, whether he was entitled to compensation on the salary only. that the dispute had arisen. The learned Recorder here cited several cases in which the judges had given opinions in similar cases, one of which was the town clerk of Norwich against the corporation. In this case, in addition to his office of town clerk, he had also held a situation in con nexion with some property over which the corporation were trustees. The learned judge in that case ruled that he was entitled to compensation for the loss of the bene ficial interest he had by holding that situation, equally with his claim for losing his office of town clerk. After pointing out the :particulars of the case at great length, the learned Recorder observed that no nice distinction should be raised when the principle of compensation was conceded, and (although sorry to differ from the Town Council) under all the circumstances of the case, he was clearly of opinion there was an intimate connexion be tween both offices, and that the appellant was entitled to have all the sources of emolument he had enjoyed taken into consideration. The decision of the Court, therefore, was, that the appellant was-entitled to the sum of £5,600 as compensation, and £llB for costs, and an order for that amount would be made accordingly. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. EXTRAORDINARY MEDICAL CASE.-ACQUIT TAL BY THE CORONER'S JURY OF DR. ST. PIERRE. We have given in another column the heads of the inquiry, before Mr. Curry, the coroner, relative to the death of Patrick Falkney, as they transpired last week. The case was resumed, by adjournment, yesterday, and excited much interest, the court being densely crowded during the whole of the proceedings, which occupied some hours. Mr. St. Pierre (or, as he himself stated, St. Pierre Kemble) appeared in court, and conducted his own case with very considerable acuteness and ability. Mr. Lynch, surgeon, was recalled and cross-examined at great length by Mr. St. Pierre. He adhered to his pre viously-expressed opinion that the death of the deceased was accelerated by the treatment of Mr. St. Pierre, and said, in the linguage of the law, (which was suggested) that he (Mr. St. P.) had thereby displayed " gross igno rance and culpable rashness." Erysypelas, he added, had set in when he last saw the patient, and this was set up by the wound on the head. Witness then changed the course of medicine he had prescribed. Mr. St. Pierre pressed his questions upon the witness, and several of the replies went in favour of the examiner. Mr. Lynch an swered some of the inquiries in a very doubtful and inde finite manner, and it appeared that he had been eight days absent from the patient at a time. He believed he had ordered his head to be shaved, and a blister put on to arrest effusion on the brain. Policeman No. 272 was called by Mr. St. Pierre, and it appeared from his evidence that Mr. Lynch had given him directions to put Mr. St. Pierre in custody, and that, act ing accordingly, he had accosted him in the street, and taken him to the main bridewell, where, however, he was not booked, as Dr. Lynch did not appear ; but was sent with the officer to Mr. Dowling's office. Mr. St. Pierre said that he objected to be placed in custody ; and asked the officer for his authority. None was produced, and Mr. St. Perre complained to the court that he had been detained from his friends and his professional engage ments by this conduct of Mr. Lynch, from whom he ex pected the treatment of one gentleman to another. The most important medical testimony was that of Mr. Woods, surgeon, who was present at the post mortem examination, and assisted in making it. He said he found on the deceased six lancet wounds—one on the right temple, three on the right arm, and two on the foot. No artery was cut, but two of the veins slightly. There was an ulcerated wound on the back of the head, pene trating to and denuding the bone. Under the dura mator he found the membrane of the brain highly congested. Upon reflecting this membrane there appeared a large quantity of matter lying on both hemispheres of the brain. The brain was highly rascular, denoting the previous existence of inflammation. IF ze is opinion was, that t proximate cause of death was compression of the brain, and that that was set up by external violence. He could not say that death was accelerated by improper treatment, judging from appearances. He had heard the evidence of the treatment pursued by Dr. St. Pierre, and did not con sider it judicious, but, on the contrary, displaying great ignorance. PUBLIC SALE OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, RODNEY STREET. edifice was brought Yesterday afternoon this the hammer at the Clarendon-roo___ street. As has b een b e f ore s t a t e d, the disruption eau.., by the Free Church secession has fallen heavily upon th_ financial position of the establishment, until at length a sale of the building seems to have been rendered neces sary in order to satisfy the claims of certain legatees. The sale took place by order of Mr. Harmood Banner. the representative of the mortgagees, who have advanced £2OOO upon the property. On Saturday a meeting of the shareholders in the church was held, who were dissatisfied with the conduct of the trustees. The meeting was ad journed to yesterday afternoon at one o'clock, but the attendance was so limited that no business was transacted. The sale was announced for two o'clock, and soon after that hour, several parties had arrived. At half-past two, when Mr. Branch, the Auctioneer, commenced read ing the conditions of sale, the room was densely crowded with interested parties. Mr. BRANCH (the auctioneer) in rising to read the conditions of sale, stated that he had instructions to say that the mortgagees regretted having to bring the property to the hammer, but they had no alternative.—Mr. HALL, solicitor, of Man cLester, here observed, that if the mortgagees were so an xious for their money, why did they not issue a writ against the trustees.—Mr. HARMOOD BANNER said that he merely acted for others. It was now necessary for him to divide the money amongst certain legatees, and he had taken what be thought the best means to obtain the mo ney which had been advanced upon the building, by offer ing it for sale. He had no wish to commence actions against any one. No doubt that might have been very profitable to his son, but he had an obiection Nov. 9, 1847. SERIOUS AND FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON & NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. We greatly regret to announce the occurrence of a fatal accident yesterday morning, on the London and North •• - -- western line of railway. The scene of the accident was close to the Winsford station, within about four miles of Hartford, and between Warrington and Crewe. The facts—as near as we could ascertain them from the guard of a down train that passed shortly after the occurrence, and from Mr. Ilberry, to whose kind attention we are indebted—are as follows : A new six-wheeled engine, the construction of which was somewhat peculiar, and which, during sonie late trials, had attained an enormously high rate of speed, was coming down the line to work from the Liverpool station. To it was attached, in addition to a mer chandize train, a few empty waggons. On the main line of rail, at Winsford, there is a curve so acute, that it is stated that an engine might probably not be able to see any impediment should it be placed near the off line or siding, which, it appears, runs from the main line to some collieries in the vicinity. A train, propelled by an engine belonging to some private individual or company was passing from the side into the down line, when, at the same moment, the new engine, the driving ;ls of which are eight feet six inches in diameter, came down the road, and before the breaks could be put on smashed into the coal waggons with a force so terrific that a portion of the merchandise train following was, from the force of the concussion, thrown completely over tha enormous engine; the driver was killed upon the spot, 'and a portion of his head was afterwards found in his cap• The carriages were'thrown with great force over the whole line, and some estimation of the collision may he formed from the fact that one carriage was.thrown behind a' nedge at the top of an embankment. The trains which came up afterwards were detained for some time. The breaks man, it is said, jumped off the train, and was thus preserved. We must, however, be thankful that it was not a passenger train, as the loss of life in that case would have been lamentable. No doubt the directors, with their usual promptitude, will cause due inquiry to be made into the circumstances. LATER PARTICULARS HALF-PAST ELEVEN, P. M.—We have just learned from a party who has visited the scene of the disaster, that the Railway Company's engine was thrown directly across the two lines ; the tender and all the following carriages, from the velocity they had attained, rap directly over it, and thus the enoi n eer met Ili j deat h,—the stoker, and not ksrnan, —lr • • the us i The l atter is s o seri° Y ted as t o the cause, lceived they had, by the ?,r the train, (which, he says, was not going over six miles p er h our at the time of the collision,) but unfortunately they could not arrest its progress before the lamentable occurrence ha d taken place. m self by 0 could only state that th e y cm break nand o The London express train last night did not bring single paper The Bank of Messrs. Roothaan, at Amsterdam, has their demand being complied with. One of the most powerfully impelling reasons AL AWLIILL iur bUCLI an well remarked by Mr. Salt, of Birmingham, to Lord John Russell, at an interview last week, is to be found in the gross ignorance displayed by Mini.fp.rQ L L aUI VeU wan respect to tne working of the measure, and the extent of the mischief which it is producing. Mr. Salt said— " He hoped his lordship would not think him disres pectful if he offered him proof of the ignorance of the go vernment. So late as February, the Chancellor of the Exchequer boasted of the sound state of the country, and treated as visionary the fear of danger. On the 28th of September he told the Newcastle deputation that there was plenty of money for those who could His lordship:twenty c offer good secu ter, acknowledged 4- ne tion, but difficulties of the country to the Liverpool depu told them he could give no relief. " His lordship here observed that he had told the Li- e them an answer the next morning, " Mr. Salt resumed, ' Very true, my lord, but the an swer was a refusal,_ and a declaration that your lordship The appellant, before the passing of the new act, held the situation of cashier, one-half of his salary being paid by the Toxteth-park Commissioners, and the rest by the overseers. The objection to compensation raised was as in the two preceding cases. Judgment in favour of the appellant. Compensation, £250 ; costs, £36. ng, melt- he convertible ;vat's, and THE MERCURY AND BREWERS, The Mercury on Friday was rather angry upon the question, whether or not brewers are fit persons to be upon the Watch Committee. Our contemporary says that these obnoxious people are most of them owners of public-houses ; and, hence, police-officers cannot inter fere with the occupants of houses, thus owned, without drawing upon themselves a hostile feeling from their pro prietors. One would naturally imagine that such a purist would set his face against the election of a brewer or a spirit-merchant to a seat in the Council at all. Yet what is the fact as exemplified by the course taken by our con temporary at the election just past. Of course it will be concluded that the re-election of Mr. Preston, the re spected Whig candidate for Vauxhall Ward. was onnnspd chant, and hence an ineligible person to be upon the Watch Committee, a gentleman might have been chosen against whom no such ineligibility could be urged—one whose honesty could be confided in, of whatever commit tee he might be chosen as a member. Not so, however. It would seem that the fact of a spirit-merchant being a Liberal does away with the bar which would exist were the same man Conservative in his views. The case of Mr. Preston, however, we may be told, is an exception, that gentleman possessing deservedly the confidence of both parties in the Council and in the borough. Well, then, let us examine the new candidates. What is the business of the gentleman—Mr. Mellor— pitched upon as an opponent to Mr. Parker in St. Anne's Ward ? A spirit-merchant. Yet we look in vain for the Mercury's reprobation of the fitness of such a choice. What is Mr. Thompson, the Liberal candidate for Scot land Ward ? A brewer, and, we are informed, the owner of several public-houses. We look equally in vain for the Mercury's repudiation of Mr. Thompson's claim for corporate honours ; and we do not think that, had these gentlemen been returned, and placed upon the Watch Committee, we should have heard any very strenuous protest from the Mercury against their appointment. It is preposterous nonsense to urge objections against this particular class of tradesmen, as especially unfitted to be upon the Watch or any other Committee. The Mercury says that a member of the police force dare not lay an information against the tenant of a public-house. whose owner is a brewer and a member of the Watch Committee. May not the same fear prevent an officer from laying an information against a shipowner or a mer chant, and a member of the same committee, for permit ting goods to lie upon the dock quays beyond the period allowed by law ? Might not such a fear deter office rs from laying informations against builders for permitting materials to encroach too much upon the footway, or against manufacturers for permitting their chimneys to smoke ? Might not any member of the Council be thus let off scot free for furious riding or driving, assault and battery, or other offence of which it is the duty of an officer to take cognizance ? Of course the argument of the Mercury applies equally to all these cases. The only mode in which our contemporary's scruples as to the ho nesty of his neighbours can be set at rest is, by returning as members of the Council only such parties as are un connected alike with business and with property within the borough. But then such a course would deprive our venerable friend of the opportunity of a periodical fling against the unfortunate brewers and spirit merchants. The Bank of England has consented to assist the two Scotch banks which applied for its aid. SINGULAR SUICIDE.—TheRev. T. B. Charnock, who for some years past ;has been residing at Cullingworth, near Halifax, in independent circumstances, comm itt e d su i tide on Friday night, the 29th ult. The unfortunate gen tleman had been visited in the course of the evening by the Vicar of Bingley and the Incumbent of Cullingworth ; and during the visit of his friends, the conversation turned upon the death of a clergyman who had committed suicide in a similar way. On their departure, he appears to have gone up stairs, and was found next morning quite dead, suspended to a beam by his pocket-handkerchief. ABATEMENT OF THE RAILWAY MANIA.—The period of the year having come round when it is required that notices should be given of all applications to Parliament for new railway bills, &c., it will be remarked, by the in significant announcements in our columns this week, that the ruinous mania has received an effectual check. Not one new railway scheme is to be applied for, while last year the Mercury contained fifty Parliamentary notices from railway companies, and six of other projects ; in 1845, we published seventy-eight Parliamentary notices of new railway undertakings, and eight of other pro jects.—Leeds Mercury. CULTIVATION OF FLAX IN IRELAND.—Let us hear no more of the inability of Ireland to produce flax that will vie with the Belgian. What we want is neither soil nor climite, but management and care. We received yesterday a beautiful, we might almost call it a magnificent, specimen grown by the Rev. Mr. Gildea, rector of Newport, in Mayo, which any of our readers are at liberty to inspect. The crop is valued at £7O a ton. The tow was sold for £3B a ton. What would it not do for Ireland if encouraged and cul tivated as it deserves ? But then we must learn the way, and do it rightly, if we mean to make by it.—Cork Con stitution. THE FUNDS, SATURDAY EVENING. The English funds have to-day recovered from their depression of yes terday. Consols for money opened at 82k to 83k, and after various slight fluctuations closed at 831 buyers.

In the Stock-Exchange, money was freely offered on loans for two or three days at 4 per cent. The transactions in the foreign funds comprised—Brazilian, at 77; Mexican, at 15k ; Portu guese Five per Cents., a t 76 ; t h e Four per Cents., at 201- ; Russian, at 1041 ; Spanish Five per Cents., at 161 : Passive, at 31 ; the Three per Cents., at 261 for money, and at 26k for the account; Venezuela, at 341 ; Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., at 884-; and Dutch Four per Cent.

Mr. Watson's unfinished statues of Eldon, Stowell, and Flagman, together with his other partly executed works, will be finished by Mr. Eastlake. Her Majesty will not open the new Parliament in per. son. It is expectedthat parliament will sit for about a month, and be adjourned a few days before Christmas.
