FOREIGN COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE ARRIVAL OF THE ACADIA The fine stea ship Acadia arrived at this port on Sun ,ut one o'clock, amid a heavy gale from . The Acadia has made a fine run across as usual, tEough she has had to contend with strong gales and heavy seas. Her lowest rate of steaming, per diem, was 207 miles; the highest, 256. For the first day or two atter her departure from Halifax she had fine weather, but on the 21st instant she was pursued by a tremendous gale from the west. After another short in terval of fine weather she, on the 26th, encountered a succession of heavy squalls. On the two following days she had to contend against a furious gale of wind with a heavy swell, in which she behaved nobly. She left Bos ton on the 16th and Halifax, where she was detained three hours, on the 18th instant, thus making the passage in little more than twelve days. She brings twenty-six passengers, of whom the following is a list : From Boston to Halifax. —The Hon. J. L. Starr, Mr. James Simpson, Mi.s Simpson, the Hon. W. Young and servant, Mr. H. H. Godit, Mr. J. T. Twining, Rev. Charles Crossman and lady, Mr. Halliburton, Mr. John Murray.-11. From Boston to Liverpool.—Mr C. A. Hamilton, Mr. A.

The operations in exchange, per this packet, were limited, and some decline in rates took place. This had a corresponding effect on specie, and there was but little inquiry for any description for investm nt. No silver bad been shipped to England, and that taken to France would not far exceed 800,000 dollars. The premium on silver had, therefore, declined considerably. The follow ing are the quotations of exchange ;—London, 1081 to 109 ; Paris, 5.261; and Amsterdam, 391. The Stock mar ket was firm in all good stock. The operations in corn had been extensive.

At the late Convention of the clergy and laity of the diocese of New York, the bishop had a decided majority in his favour, and subsequently upwards of sixty of the clergy waited on him at his house, and knelt to receive his blessing. A majority of the American bishops are, however, opposed to any attempt to '6unprotestan tise" the Episcopal Church. The loss of the Missouri had been deeply felt. It is proposed to send out her consort, the Mississippi, to the Mediterranean. The Park Theatre was crowded to see Macready. He retained all his popularity, and was making a great deal of money ; as much, it was thought, as £4OO a-week, for four nights' performance The I _,gislative Council of Canada. in reply to a mes sage from the Governor-General, had decided in favour of Montreal as the seat of the colonial government.

The crop of cotton, like the English harvest, is rising rapidly in abundance and quality under the remarkable fine weather which has prevailed for some time in the most prolific districts. It is usele-s as yet to form esti mates. The crop will be thrown later into the year, but the falling off will be less than was anticipated. The present state of the crops, as compared with last year, is as follows : RECEIPTS, EXPORTS, AND STOCK OF COTTON IN THE UNITED STATES, FROM SEPT. 14 TO DATI 1842 1843. Incr.

Willmer and Smith, conveyed to Liverpool by express, exclusively from their London Agent, Mr. W. H. Smith, of 192, Strand, London, the Bombay Monthly Times, of the 26th of August. The dates brought by this mail are—Calcutta, 10th, Scinde, 19th, and Bombay, 26th of August. From China 26th of June only. The news from India is not of a remarkable kind. Tranquillity prevailed in the interior. An army of ob servation, was, it is said, to be formed on the Sutledge and another in the neighbourhood of Gualior ; both were to be ready in the month of October. The new Com mander-in-Chief, Sir Hugh Gough, would, it was stated, take the command of the former, and General Sir W. Nott of the latter. Lord Ellenborough, whose presence in Calcutta had produced the best results there, was, it is reported, to come himself to the neighbourhood of Agra or Allahabad in October, in order to direct the settlement of the Gua lior Government. Sciode was tranquil and likely to continue so, unless it be disturbed by any ►neasures ordered from London in consequence of the misrepresentations which some blind partisans sent to England from Bombay. Sir Charles Napier had thus fat regulated that conquest. The troops were healthy. Shere Mabommed had fled to the Beloochee mountains, from whence iewas said he was contemplating an attack on some of the posts of the British troops. Ali Mahom pied, a young man of talent, and a relative of the ex- Ameers, made an attempt to maintain his own territory against the usurpation of his uncle, Mourad Ali, who has contrived by various crooked arts to obtain the favour of the British and to aggrandize himself at the expense of all the other Atneers ; but Ali Mohammed has been routed by his uncle Mourad Ali, and he has also fled to the mountains, where he has joined the partisans of Shere Mahommed. It is said that after the rainy season the various hill tribes bordering on the plains, now subject to the British and to Mourad Ali, will be induced to make inroads, and to try to plunder the settlers, but it does not seem expected that they will risk any battles for the ex pulsion of the British. General Simpson was coming round to Bombay in the Queen steamer in order to become second in command, and, perhaps,; successor to Sir Charles Napier, whose health, it is said, requires removal to the sea coast. _ _ A most extraordinary discovery was effected in July last, at Bombay, of a confederacy for plundering boats, robbing , ships, and smugg li ng goods. This gang h a d existed for at least a quarter of a century in the most po pulous part of that town. They are also supposed to be connected with the pirates and murderers who even now so frequently commit the greatest atrocities within almost the hail of the police and other authorities of that impor tant naval station. No discovery was ever made of the gang until one of the accomplices gave a clue which led to the seizure of their books, and to the development of the whole system, which was organized in the most perfect manner. The police were on the traces of the malefactors, hut it was feared that no conviction would take place, as most of the police agents had been bribed by the gang, and they were throwing every obstacle in the way of hav ing any of their accomplices punished. An extraordinary court martial had been held at Poona!). Two officers, a colonel and a major, had a dispute ; the colonel soon afterwards offered to make up the quarrel, but was told the whole affair Fad been sent up in a complaint to the Government. The complaint was referred to a court of inquiry, which decided after having heard evidence that there were faults on both sides. The Colonel then sent in a demand for a court-martial on the Major, on the ground of his having wilfully made a false and unfounded statement. The Commander-in-Chief refused the demand :ond censured the application as out of place, as the decision of the court of inquiry was then under his consideration. The Colonel reiterated t demand but no notice Wa;ikeri . of yards the colonel had the proceed ..

COTTON PIECE GOODS AND YARNS.—Maclapollams and jacconets are in good demand at fair prices, but long are not in much inquiry. Common bleached shirting; are scarce, and have improved slightly in value. Prints are low, and not inquired for. The yarn market is rather flatter BRITISH WOOLLEN GOODS.—The market continues very depressed, and from present appearances we thing little will be done for some time to come. In former years at this season, the Marwarries generally commenced operations, but this year they appear not to require any addition to their stocks. Imports continue to arrive. Freights continue very much depressed, and have slighty declined since our last. Some vessels have been taken up on speculation, for conveying emigrants to the Mauritius, but we do not see how freighters are to clear their expen ses at the rates they have undertaken to land them at Port Louis, the more especially as it is rumoured that the local government are about to reduce the bonus.—Bom bay Price Current. The railway from Vienna to Cologne is now open throughout its whole length. Lord and Lady Ashburton and family have arrived at Naples. They intend to pass the Christmas at Rome, and return home in April. An injunction has been served upon Dr. Lardner, in New York, at the suit of Professor Gourand, restraining him from the use of the planetarium, which he advertised he would tr,e in illustration of his lectures. THE SULPHUR QUESTION.—The National annaunces that the Sicilian sulphur question is terminated. The in demnity to the British merchants has been fixed by a special commission at 130,000 Neapolitan ducats. '1 he merchants demanded that this sum, which it was expected would not be paid for several years, should bear an inte rest at six per cent. The Neapolitan government then determined to pay in cash. A BULL Fl HT FOR PIOUS Uses.—The Queen of Spain and her sister were present, on the 13th, at a bull fight, given for the object of procuring friends to build a church at Chamberi, near Madrid. The sport was magnificent. Eight bulls were killed, and twelve horses remained on the ground gored and disembowelled. The performance lasted three hours, and produced upwards of £l,OOO. Four thousand Austrians commanded by Count Ra detsky have, it is stated, entered the Papal territories to reduce the spirit of republican insurrection which lately manifested itself at Bologna and elsewhere. This inter vention is said to be the result of a j , int determination of the Austrian and Peidmontese governments: but our ments were made, does not inform the public on two very material points—viz., whether this intervention has been solicited by the Papal Cabinet, and whether France has been consulted thereon ?

It ap pears that the weather had been seasonable for the crops, and that the plantations gave promise of a good harvest. The Jamaica and Planters' Banks had held their half yearly meetings, the former declaring a dividend of 41 per cent., and the latter a dividend of 5 per cent. The Ja maica Bank had suffered losses to the extent of £B,OOO, during the last six months, and the reserve fund was therefore, to a certain extent, trenched upon to maintain the usual rate payable to the proprietors. The late fire at Kingston still occupied the attention of the colonists, and preparations were on foot for rebuilding the destroyed portion of the city on a more convenient plan. Liberal contributions continued to be received in aid of the suffer ers; and on the meeting of the House of Assembly, shortly to take place, a vote of the public funds was ex pected to be one of the first measures discussed. At Trinidad, Demerara, and Barbadoes, political matters were not engaging much notice, and affairs in general ap peared to be moving in a quiet and peaceably way. AN EXPENSIVE CANE.—The Duchess de Montijo, a Spanish lady, whose daughter is about to be married to the Duke of Berwick and Alba, has just sent to Madrid a magnificent set of presents to her daughter and her fu ture son in-law. But the most curious and expensive specimen of her taste is a Malay can- of great delicacy and just proportions, in ornamenting which so liberal an outlay of small diamonds, emeralds and amethysts has been made, that the whole cost amounts to no less than 14,000 f. £560 sterling. The Duchess, on being reproach ed by one of her friends for this lavish waste of money replied, " You are quite right ; the sum is considerable ; but when one marries a daughter to a Duke of Berwick and Alba one cannot hesitate about expense." In Rus sia, when a marriage takes place, the father of the bride places in the hand of the son-in-law a stick, not thicker however, than his thumb, with the liberal use of which th e domestic felicity of the young couple is to he ar ranged. It is to be hoped that the Duchess de ,Montijo had no such ideas present to her mind in selecting the Malay cane as a present to her yendre. Let it rather be supposed that the choice proceeds from her Irish souven airs, as she is the c' - ter of 11- dug'. an lbernian merchant, Mr. Fitzpatric, well-known and respected at Malaga, whose family shillelagh has more than once been heard of at the fairs of Tradderee. THE CAPTURE AND DEATH OF AN ALLIGATOR (From the Calcutta Star.) A very large alligator was hooked and safely landed at the Acra Farm on Saturday evening last. The hook, which was a single barb and straight shank, about eleven inches long, had entered the hack part of the right upper jaw, and, passing round the cheek bone, came out above the eye. It may be mentioned for the guidance of fisher men that the hook above described is far preferable to the small grapnel-shaped affair which has been thought ne cessary for this game. But the probabilities are, that this fellow would have taken any hook, for he was ravenous, and it was not thought necessary even to float the bait, but drawing it a few feet out of the water on the mud, two hands were left to watch and report progress. When all was quiet he came straight at it and made no bones about it. The word was passed, and by the time he had rolled himself over and over two or three times, some fifty hands were hanging on to a 21 inch rope, and " pull devil, pull baker" was the order of the day till he was safely housed, a matter of no slight difficu ty, as may be supposed, con sidering that with his tail he could manage a range of about 16 feet. He appeared to have remained perfectly motionless during the night, being found in the morning just as he was left. It may be mentioned, that the off hind leg was gone at the first joint, that is, the foot was wanting, or hand, for their extremities are much more like hands than feet. There are five fingers, three of which have large and long nails upon them, and the other two are scaled to the very tip. He was maimed also in the near fore flapper, and had evidently been in the wars. They are known to fight desperately with each other about their prey, and this one had been maimed for life without a pension ; the stump was well rounded off, and the injury not have been a recent one. Some fortnight ago a child was taken away in this neigh bourhood by an alligator, while filling some water vessels, and it was thought most probable it might be the monster now under sentence. Gentlemen who amuse themselves with firing ball at this kind of large game may save their powder and lead. The trials made with a rifle show how heavy the odds are against doing anything with them. There was some difference of opinion as to whether a rifle ball would pass through him, supposing it was not to strike the scales. The first one fired with a view to this experiment entered the side below the strong scales of the back, and the brute took not the slightest notice of it ; and a second, near the same spot, which seemed not to trouble t h h i e m y i w n e t r le l e i fi r e e a d s t f ; r o n m e i t a h e d r i s o t a f n t e e m ofpassedm t o h r r e o t u i g i a h n , ten feet. He was now stirred up in tl rere with a long pole, and he turned upon his assailant with a ferocity that was terrific ; people talk of ali t easily ; he was round with the rapidity being able to turn re port, when he opened his jaws p to ittyheof i r . i h r i ash ; the closed them in his rage, was incredibly loud,extent, rtn and tolerable idea of the enormous power of the jaws. d i rve a shot was now fired, with the view of finishinhi 'fthircl pos sible ; and the aim was behind the large rais g ed m se ' ales the extreme end of the head, so as to break the spine., at This would appear to have been done, for he turned upon his back, and did not again recover his position. After a fourth ball, and a most careful search for his heart with a bayonet and a spear, a rope was passed over him and he was dragged out, giving ever and anon sufficient warning of the propriety of standing aloof. A fifth ball in the spine appeared to settle him ; and on passing the tar along his back he measured, to a nicety, sixteen feet six inches; but his tail too had been curtailed eighteen inches less than one caught in the same place about three years ago, and of which a very perfect skeleton was made on the farm, taken to England by Mr. Waterhouse, and depo sited in a museum in Yorkshire. With a heavy axe he was now divided just abaft his hind legs. The next pro cess was an interesting one--the examination of the sto mach. It contained but little; portions of the skull of a child, the thigh bones, some smaller ones, and the bones of one hand, a quantity of straw, a large ball of hair, about four feet of inch rope, and six or eight bangles, two or three of which were of silver. Having cut off the head and weighed it, it was found to he, to an ounce, 2 cwt. The muscular action in the tail end, about G or 7 feet, was extraordinary, for, on inserting a knife to expose the fat, which here lies in thick layers, the whole mass, saving only the chum;, was thrown into violent motion; and, After perforrnii , :., • veral gyrations almost on end, struck the ground with traordinary violence. This was the effect of every insertion of the knife, and it could not have The fat from the body was carefully taken off by native operators, it being highly valued as an external applica tion for rheumatism, &c.

IRE 1., AN D, The following, as received per our usual weekly express from our correspondent in Ireland, appeared in an early Second Edition of our last week's paper : Dublin, Monday, 23d Oct. 1843. MORE WARLIKE PREPARATIONS. At a late hour last night, two companies of artillery, under the command of Majors Wood and Rawnsley, ar rived at the quays, and marched immediately into bar racks. The Ist Dragoons are expected to-morrow. Half-part Four o'clock. The Conciliation Hall was opened to-day : the crowd was immense. The amount of the rent has not yet been announced, hut will be little short, if not over, three thousand pounds. The entire proceedings of Monday having been for warded to us by our correspondent, per the mail packet, we hastened to present the following account to our readers in a Third Edition : Dublin, Monday, Half-past Eight, p.m As' had anticipated, the proceedings at the " Concilia tion Hall" extended to an unusually late hour. The most important feature of the day was the adhesion of Mr. Smith O'Brien, M.P., for Limerick. to the Repeal Association in unqualified terms. The meeting at past six o'clock adjourned unt I one o'clock to-morrow, the rent for the week was announced to be, as far as could be ascertained up to six o'clock, £2281; numerous communi cations containing remittances had arrived, the amount of which had not been ascertained at the hour of adjourn ment, and which will therefore be carried to next week's account. A government reporter was in attendance. PROGRESS OF REPEAL OPENING OF THE CONCILIATION HALL. The Repeal Association held its usual weekly niter lag yesterday, for the first time, in the newly-erected building on Bergh-quay, called the Conciliation Hall. This new place of meeting is a quadrilateral structure, capable of containing from three to four thousand per sons. A spacious gallery runs round the entire build ing, and at the end, fronting the entrance door, a plat. form has been erected for the accornodation of the chair man, the principal speakers, and the gentlemen of the press. The place is in a very unfinished state, and pre sents a rough and cheerless appearance. It was densely crowded in every part long before the hour for which the meeting had been called ; but none of the corpora tion, as was announced, attended in their robes. Mr. O ' CONNELL entered the meeting shortly before one o'clock, and was received with tremendous cheers. After a vain attempt for several minutes to address the meeting, in consesequence of the great inconvenience arising from the pressure of the crowd in the body of the hall, he said that he had the high honour of mov ing that the chair should be taken by John Augustus O'Neill, Esq., of Bunnowen Castle—(loud cheers.) The CHArri.mAN rose amidst loud cheers. The cabi net could not expect Irishmen to agree with them ; be cause they were diametrically opposed, and had been so for 50 years. In 1819 Wellington held the opinion that if Catholic emancipation was granted, the next step would he to demand the forfeited lands. Now if that were the case, he (the chairman) would be enti tled to upwards of £lOO,OOO a year, handed down from generations through father to son. (Cheers.) In 1827, Sir Robert Peel and Mr. Goulburn spoke against Ca tholic emancipation, and the present chief justice of England opposed them, and in the following year they came down and adopted his speech. (Cheers.) They were called cowards tor doing so, but no feeling of that kind instigated them ; for he was sure they had acted upon conscientious conviction. (Cheers.) It was quite a fiction of the law to say that kings could do no wrong ; for they might do wrong, and had often paid very heavy penalties—(hear)—for doing so. (Hear.) One set of statesmen told the king that it would be perjury to sign the Catholic emancipation bill, while others forced him to subscribe to it. (Cheers.) He (the chairman) hoped that there was a government reporter in the hall. Mr. O ' CONNELL.—Yes; there is one from Gurney's office. " Mr. O'Connell rose and said—l must protest against such language as this : I must request you, Mr. Chair man, to call Mr. Frazer to order. The nation is not as sailed in my person ; I am merely proceeded against as an individual, and in those proceedings nothing has oc curred in the least calculated to cow me. (Loud bursts of applause.) I can defend myself; and I tell Mr. Frazer that nothing could injure my cause more than the use of such language. I do declare solemnly if I hear a word of that kind again, I shall leave the room. (Hear, hear.)" Another meeting was held at Spitalfields. and composed of all the respectability and all the talents of St. Audeon's ward; and here we find Mr. O'Connell (probably not supposing that the government reporters would work on Sundays) was not altogether so guarded as he was in the more Saxon locality of the Post-office. Peace and tran quillity were still required, and Repeal was still certain within six months—say six months ; but it was now— " Give me but six months of perfect peace, and I'll give you my head on the block, if, at the end of that time, you have not a parliament in College-green. (Loud and long continued cheering.) Don't think they can decide the question of repeal in the jury. box. I shall appeal from that box to the country, and I know that in doing so I have the peaceable, the loyal, the temperate, the religious, and the determined people of Ireland to support me. If they put us down in one shape, why we 'II be up in ano ther. (Cheers and laughter.) England cannot go to war with any foreign power until she makes peace with Ire land ; and we are ready to make a peace with her, but only on the terms of having our domestic parliament re stored to us. Hurrah, then, for Ireland and Repeal! (Loud cheers.)" However, at least one sentence of truth was spoken by Mr. O'Connell on this latter occasion. It was the fol- The CHAIRMAN continued to say—that he personally knew that there were letters in Dublin from the Duke of Kent (the Queen's father), in his own writing, breathing the greatest and purest affection for Ireland, and expressing a wish to be appointed Lord Lieutenant at a certain critical period. People talked of a federal parliament but what was the meaning of the word ? If gentlemen did not understand it, they should not express opinions which would give triumph to their foes and fear to their friends. (Hear.) It meant nothing more than a treaty—or, in his opinion, as used by their leader, a treaty between England and Ireland. (Hear.) A federal treaty was— " that which shall be done by order of, and with the authority of, the senate." (Loud cheers.) Mr. O'Neill next described the manner in which the Belgian revolution was effected. By the in terference of France she became a diademed kingdom, and the only part England took in the proceeding was, to send a king there. (Hear, hear.) Belgium had suc ceeded accidentally by foreign intervention—but Ireland would depend upon Irishmen, on God, and on Ireland. If it should be the pleasure of a rash minister, forgetful of the law of God and man —and such a forgetfulness he by no means attributed to the Duke of Wellington, who always during his campagins was most careful of human life; but if, for a moment, he should think of steeping, in the blood of Irishmen. the laurels which Ireland's sons had placed on his brow, their still remained for them an interposing power between him and the nation—they could look to the Queen. He had shown that they had a right to look for hereditary love to Ireland in her Ma jesty. Should the Duke resolve to act as he had de. scribed. of which from his (Mr. O'Neill's) soul he ac quitted:his Grace, one might imagine the Queen, in the words of Shakspeare—" Beware, take heed, how you awake the slumbering sword of war ;" I charge you in the name of God to take heed! He would respectfully offer his opinion, that if repeal were forced in the hour of England's weakness, it would be the ruin of Ireland. Repeal held back too long would create national bank. ruptcy. Repeal at once conceded would be productive of peace, prosperity, and indissoluble connexion with England—(hear, hear.) But if a collision should take place—if the Almighty in his anger withdrew his pro tection from the empire, the same Gazelle which pro. claimed the victory of England over her twin sister, would announce that one nation was depopulated, and the other tottering on the brink of ruin —(hear, hear.) Mr. O'CONNELL rose and said.—The first sentence I wish to utter in the Conciliation Hall is this truth, that there is only one way of obtaining a repeal of the union, and that is, by.using none but peaceable and legal means. (Hear, bear.) My second sentence is, that the repeal is certain. (Loud and long-continued cheering, waving of hats and handkerchiefs, &c.) Yes, repeal is certain, pro vided you use no other than peaceable and legal means. (Cries of "We won 't.") I promised the master butchers, as they gave me the largest sum, that I would hand in their money first. I, therefore, beg leave to hand from them £l6O. (Hear, hear.) I am now about to make a motion of the utmost importance to the liberty of Ire land. I shall not say one word in support of it. It is that W. S. O'Brien, Esq., M.P. for the county of Lime rick, be admitted a member of the association. (Enthu siastic cheering.) Mr. O'CONNELL said that Mr. O'Brien had been an anti-repealer, but events had shown him that there was nothing but repeal for Ireland. He was honest as an anti-repealer—oh! he was honest and brave, now that he was a repealer. (Cheers.) The hon. gentlemen then entered on the subject of a federal parliament, which had been alluded to by the the chairman. It was for an independent parliament be was looking. He was firmly attached to the connexion with England •, but he insisted that Ireland had a right to the revival of her le gislature. (Hear, and cheers.) He would reject no man's assistance who went any part of the way with him. Any man who wished for a repeal of the act of union might join him until some parliament would be obtained, and he (Mr. O'Connell) would obtain the best parliament he could with their assistance. There never would again be an attack on the part of the people, and if the government chose to continue the pre sent contest, there was determination enough amongst the people to continue it too, rather than resort to violence. The hon. gentleman next alluded to the letters of " Phi. lalethes," in the Morning Chronicle, (the substance of which will be found in our columns.) The name of the writer of these letters was a Mr. Trevelyan, a secretary of the treasury, who was brought into office by the Whigs, and had been some time in the Indies, where he was laughed at by the people, as he was now by the inhabitants of this country, for his absurd statements. Mr. O'Connell proceeded to censure the letters, and notice them e re tha that he to u be ,oul d full mak o e f tmwoisstnaltoetmioennsts. to-morrow— one orro g w a_ve one for a committee to procure petitions in detail from every parish in Ireland ; the other for a conciliatory ad would nota nd accept Protes any Protestant dress to their fellow-subjects in Ireland.

He declared this most solemnly, and he thought he would be able to convince his Protes tant fell ow - coun t rymen of this truth. (Loud c h eers. ) He concluded by proposing two resolutions—the first relating to th e p re p arat i on o f petitions f r om every par i s h in the ki ng d om , an d t h e o th er p ro p os i ng th a t a con. cilatory address to their Protestant and Presbyterian fellow -countrymen be forthwith prepared and issued. For his own part he solemnly assured them that he would not take repeal if it gave Catholic ascendancy— ( Hear, hear.) These resolutions having been adopted, the secretary continued to announce the sums contributed since last meeeting. lowing :--' In struggling for emancipation I wished to set conscience freeTbut' the advantages of that measure have only been felt by the wealthy chi T ;ses. It enabled my worthy friend in the chair to become an alderman and rnysgf a member of parliament, but the people got little practical aood by The people, say we, ;conic] do well to take the hint, and inquire, in time, what practical good they are to get from the present agitation. A meeting was also held in St. Patrick's ward, and one at Kingstown, at the latter of which, Mr. Dunne, Repeal Inspector and Arbitrator, moved and carried the follow ingresolution That we adopt, and recommend for the adoption of every meeting of Irishmen, the resolutions passed at the late great aggregate meeting of the province of Leinster, on the ever-memorable and blood-stained Rath of Mul laghmast, especially the one that declared no power on earth ought of right to make laws to bind this kingdom, save the Queen, Lords, and Commons of Ireland." At both meetings it was voted that confidence is still reposed in the " illustrious Liberator." By the way, who suggested the necessity for moving all these votes of confidence? Was it the illustrious confidant himself? Such was the progress of Repeal and of Sabbath dese cration in the city of Dublin, on Sunday week. INTIMIDATION AT CHAPELS (Prom the Carlow Sentinel.) We regret to hear that a disgraceful system of intimi dation was resorted to on last Sunday, at the chapels of Bagenalstown aid Newtown, with the view of forcibly extorting money from the poor people who attended their religious duties. We repeat it, it is disgraceful to a civi lised land to see a band of repeal desperadoes standing at the chapel doors, and plundering the people of their mo ney in open day, or forcibly expelling them from the chapel, for refusing to subscribe for an illegal purpose. We have been furnished with the names of the parties who conducted themselves in so ruffianly a manner; and as it is not unlikely that the government may afford those village patriots a little wholesome instruction, we shall not give the list publicity at present. The forcible collection of money under the circum stances is a violation of the law ; and we trust the heart l-ss miscreants who are disturbing the public tranquillity by fomenting disunion and civil strife, will be no longer permitted to commit those wanton outrages on the Sab bath, or to revel in the lawless scenes of which some coun try chapels were the theatre on Sunday week. The go vernment must not strike about, or at the top, but at the very root of sedition in this country ; and the only effec tive way of suppressing it is to indict those fellows who are appointed as collectors to swell the list of subscriptions to the repeal fund, by actually taking the money out of the people's pockets. The following will show how cheerfully the people pay in the county Carlow. We long to see the amount of remittance from Bagenalstown collected on pain of expulsion from the chapel : (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) " On passing through a street in this town, my attention was attracted by a noisy crowd at the chapel gate, and prompted by curiosity I made one of the number, and to my astonishment 1 saw no less than six persons (shop keepers and sbopboys) busily employed in collecting Proclamation money, as it is called, and by their bul lying and threats they succeeded in wringing shillings from some poor wretches whose miserable clothing be spoke their extreme penury. In vain they told these would-be patriots that their families were in want, and their necessities would not allow them to contribute. The glorious cause of repeal needed their assistance was the only reply, and with heavy hearts they were obliged to band them (very probably) the only shilling they pos sessed. One person named Byrne presented himself at the gate, and on their demanding his shilling he coolly refused, and said that O'Connell never put a shilling in his pocket, but on the contrary, endeavoured to take one out.' He was eventually refused admittance. " Mr. Martin Hughes, of Kildrenagh, met with a si tnilar reception at the chapel of Newtown, on the same day, and was obliged to return to his house, with what feelings may be imagined. This method of swelling the repeal society is becoming very general at the gates of country chapels, and intimidation is hourly on the in- THE MARQUIS OF WATERFORD.—O❑ Monday last, meeting of gentlemen was held at Tipperary, to express their regret at the contemplated removal of the Marquis's establishment from the county, in consequence of the recent fire there, as mentioned in our last.

At six o'clock the meeting adjourned till one o'clock to-morrow. SIMULTANEOUS SIGNAL FIRES-MOVI MENT AMONGST THE PEASANTIty.

DiscovEßy or N MURDERER.—A man of the name of Hughes has just been apprehended in London on a charge of having murdered his wife at Waterford in 1836. He has hitherto escaped the vigilance of the police. It appears he murdered his wife by fracturing her skull with a hammer, and, by leaping upon her body, she b e i ng pregnant at the time, thereby destroying the infant in the womb. He put her head also under the grate, and poked the fire upon it.

The as sembly was chiefly occupied with receiving addresses and sums of money. Amongst these, Dr. Gray read a letter from Liverpool, from which we take the following ex tracts. It had been said that the best way to damp the ardour of the repealers was to forbid the holding of the Clontarf meeting, and thus disappoint hundreds who were on their way to attend it. Now the effect produced was the very reverse, as was proved by the letter from the re pealers of Liverpool, which enclosed £53 16s. 6d. : " Paradise Chambers, Liverpool. " My dear Sir,—As I anticipated in• my last letter to you, the coercive folly of the government has added more to the repeal rent in Liverpool during the last few days than all the zeal and activity of our repeal staff could effect in a month, and a more efficient body of wardens and collectors there is nowhere to be found. Last week the amount of our remittance was only £ll ; this week, to mark their disapprobation of the conduct which the go vernment is pursuing towards Iceland. the repealers of Liverpool have increased it to £53 16s. 6d. Of this sum, £3l 17s. 6d. was received in shillings and pence. I have just at this moment, through a friend, received £1 from Robert La Peer Trench, Esq., barrister-at-law, Harring ton Chambers, who is, I understand, a son of General Trench, and first cousin of the Earl Clancarty. " Dr. Gray." " GEORGE SMYTH. WALES STATE OF SOUTH WALES, At the close of the week before last, a gentleman, while posting from Carmarthen to Llandilo gate, on arriving near the gate saw some house burning on the left of the road. Judging it to be an incendiary fire, he drove as fast as he could to the town of Llandilo, and having acquainted the proper authorities, the dragoons proceeded to the spot in all haste, and found that the out-buildings of a farm, called Pen-y-Bank, situate on the side of the Mynydd Bach-road, about three miles from Llandilo, the property of Mr. Thomas, of Ffroud, were on fire, and the cow-house and pigsty were clmpletely destroyed. A farm called Gwar Graig, with the outbuildings &e., situate in the parish of Llanfihangel Ararth, near the New Inn, on the left of the Llampeter- road, was also destroyed by fire. The farm is the property of a lady named Nicholls, and is only about two fields off from the main road. The house was at the time untenanted, and the roof being thatch, it burnt very rapidly, and the flames could be seen for some distance. The house and out buildings were entirely destroyed. Mr. Cripps and Mr. Richards have arrived at Carmar then. On Saturday night an attack was made upon the house of the police superintendent of the newly-alpointed rural police force. Several slugs were fired through the door, and a threatening notice affixed to it, stating that if he did not resign his situation, and, together with his wife, &e., quit that part of the country within a fortnight, he should be done for. The special commission, for the trial of the persons committed for their participation in the recent distur bances in that part of South Wales which is situated in Glamorganshire, was opened on Wednesday by M r. Baron Gurney and Mr. Justice Cresswell. The learned judges arrived at Cardiff at half-past eleven c'clock, in the car riage of John Homfray, Esq., of Llandy, the high sheriff of the county, and shortly afterwards proceeded to court, and opened the commission. The court was then ad journed till two o'clock, and in the mean time their lord ships attended Divine service at St. John's Church. The trials appear to excite no extraordinary interest; for, al though the court is so small, there was ample room for all who sought admission to it. The number of prisoners in the calendar for trial is 17, all of whom, with the exception of three, are out on bail. The Attorney-General, Mr. Vaughan Williams, and other learned gentlemen, are retained for the prosecution ; and Mr. M. D. Hill, Q.C., Mr. Montagu Chambers, and others, for the defence. On the return of the learned judges from church, the grand jury were duly sworn in with the accustomed formalities. The senior judge, Mr. Baron Gurney, then proceeded to deliver his charge. After the delivery of the charge, the court adjourned until the following morning (Friday,) when John Hughes was arraigned at the bar for having unlawfully, riotously, and tumultuously assembled with other persons, to the disturbance of the public peace, and feloniously, unlaw. fully, and with force begun to demolish the dwelling. house of one William Lewis, at the parish of Llandilota. lybont.

The prisoner, who is a hale, powerful, and good-looking young farmer, appeared to take much interest in the choice of the jury who were to try him. At length a jury was sworn, when the Attorney-General stated the circumstances of the transactions, in which the prisoner was charged with having been implicated, but they have appeared very recently in our colums. On Saturday the trial closed, and the jury found the prisoner guilty, recommending him to mercy on account of previous good character. Sentence was not then passed. A commission of inquiry appointed for a full inquiry into the causes of the discontent and outrages in South Wales, was opened in the Town-hall, Carmarthen, on Wednesday. The opening address of the Right lion. Frankland Lewis, chief commissioner, is pronounced to be calm and dispassionate, full of kindly expressions, and displaying a due anxiety on the part of the commissioners to enter upon the fullest possible inquiry into those griev ances which have been alleged as the cause of the past and present disturbances. - At 10 o'clock the Right Hon. T. F. Lewis and Mr. W Cripps, accompanied by the secretary to the commission (Mr. G. K. Rickards), entered the Town-hall, anti took their seats on the bench. Among the gentlemen present were Colonel Trevor, M.P., vice -lieutenant of the county, David Morris, Esq., M.P., D r . J ones, Captain Phillips, Dr. Lawrence, the Mayor of Carmarthen, Dr. Bower., Captain Scott, &c. The court being opened, the chief commissioner pro ceeded to read her Majesty's commission, atter which he delivered his address, and the commissioners then retired into the grand jury-room, and were occupied the remain der of the day in a preliminary examination of Mr. Sta cey, clerk to the main trust, and the examination of vari ous books and papers, with a view to show the working of the trust. The three Jones's, Thomas Harris, Sethi Morgan, and Henry Thomas, charged with the destruction of the Porth rhyd gate, underwent a further examination at the gaol, Carmarthen, on Wednesday, and were committed for trial, but subsequently admitted to bail. On Sunday morning, two of Mr. Rogers's children, at Carnarvon, of the aces of thirteen months and nine weeks, were found dead in the servant's bed in which they were in the habit of sleeping—from the effects of an over-dose of laudanum, administered, it is said, by the girl the pre ceding night, for the purpose of making them sleep sound- Jy.—North Wales Chronicle. EXORBITANT TOLLS IN BRECONSIIIRE.—From Crick howell to Hay, a distance of 24 miles, there are five gates, at which 9d. toll is demanded for a horse and carriage. This is the most expensive toll:in South Wales, and Pon typool is the cheapest in that district —only 3d. is charged for a horse and gig, and a ticket given to clear the next gate. It is a singular fact that the smallest amount of the 'a demanded where the hest roa d s are.
