FOREIGN 4- COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA r Prom our Second Edition of Tuesday last.) This noble steam-ship arrived in the river this morning at half-past four. She sailed from Boston at half-past three p.m. on the Ist instant, and arrived at noon on the third at Halifax, at which port she remained four hours and a half. She has thus accomplished the passage from Halifax, allowing for the difference of time, in ten days and seven hours. She has brought over forty-three pas sengers, a list of whom we subjoin. She appears to have experienced strong breezes principally from the west and north-east. LIST OF PASSENGERS From Boston to Halifax:—Mr. Clarke; Mrs. Clarke; Mrs.Lesel; Miss M. Whitemore ; Mr. Wm.

The operations at the Board of Brokers, in New - York, were to a fair extent at a slight improvement in rates. There were more enquiries for foreign exchanges at 108 to 10S+ on Eagland.

The husband had been apprehended, and a verdict of wilful murder was returned against him. Meetings were in course of being held in every part of Upper Canada, demanding the removal of the seat of go vernment out of that province. The newspapers are ra pidly taking it up as a question, not between Montreal and Kingston, but between the French Canadian and the Anglo-Saxon race.

Happy in the opportunity cising their ancient hospitality, our population have _I an earnestness full of cordiality, by which my august niece has_ been able to appreciate the good spirit bers on Tuesday S OCCU of exer display which animates them A. PLEASANT COMPANlON.—According to a Berlin letter, a merchant highly esteemed in that city, found himself a few days ago in one of the chariots of the An halt Railroad train, with only one other passenger, who was a young man. When they had passed Ludwigsfield, the merchant suddenly seized his fellow-traveller by the throat, and endeavoured to strangle him. He, fortunately being strong and courageous, defended himself in a strug gle which lasted till they arrived at Trebbin and stopped, when his cries brought him assistance. The merchant was taken out and found to be in a violent paroxysm of madness. COLONEL Si ODDART AND CAPTAIN COOLLY.—The last Overland Mail has brought a letter from Lieut. Vin cent, Bengal Artillery, whose narrative of the imprison ment of the Cabul captives excited so much interest in this country; this letter is addressed to the Rev. Dr. Wolff, and dated Meerut, Sept. 18, 1843. Mr. Eyre be lieves that Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly are still alive, and is anxious to join Dr. Wolff in his expedi tion to Bokhara. "You have of course heard the story derived through Colonel Sheil from a Persian, who pro fessed actually to have seen the graves in which Stoddart and Conolly had been buried. This story has, however, been contradicted by two highly respectable Jews, both of whom I know intimately, and whom I believe to be honest and upright men. They have both received letters from Bokhara, mentioning both officers as still alive, and information has been received from other quarters that the two graves were those of two servants who had of fended the King." SIR C. NAPIER AND HIS ARMY. — The followinc , , ex tract from Sir Charles's speech at the dinner given to him by the officers of the force at Hyderabad on the 28th ult., is highly characteristic of the gallant General, and will, we are sure, be read with deep interest. In rising to return thanks on his health being drunk, Sir Charles said,—" I have heard, gentlemen, of a General spoiling an army, but it appears to me that the force I command wishes to spoil its General, and I will now explain in what manner I mean it. First, you win two battles for me; secondly, you made me Governor of Scinde ; thirdly, you give me a regiment; and lastly, you made me a Knight Grand Cross of the Bath. I f ee l and appreciate voar kindness, favour, and friendship. Gentlemen, the good order and understanding that exists in a British army is mainly attributable to the messes of the service. When officers meet at a mess, the General and the junior ensign are on a level ; every one is at full liberty to express his thoughts and feelings as they emanate. On parade the laws of reason and discipline combine to make him obey his commander. We are all gentlemen by birth and edu cation, and consequently on a par. This is also a reason, gentlemen, that I feel your testimonials of friendship so keenly. It is not with any idea of favours or honour that you thus befriend me. You are all far too superior to such base ideas. Thus, gentlemen, the best feelings of my heart, be where I may, will be linked to you with the march in the desert, the battles in Scinde, and the dinner in the plains of Hyderabad."—Rombay Times, Sept. 16. PARISIAN TRICK.—A short time ago, a French lady of fashion, young, gay, and lovely, decided upon the purchase fa shawl. The " Rue Richelieu" is celebrated for shops abounding with that sine qua non of a Paris belle, and thither the lady went. After, of course, a long perplexity of choice, the one which was charmant, delicienx, and aft that sort of thing, was chosen. Little, poor lady ! did she dream how one from without was watching all her proceedings within ! But to proceed. The choice being happily effected, the purchaser turned to the " comptoir," where, as usual, a well-dressed woman sat as book-keeper and receiver-general. Scarcely had a billet de barque for five hundred francs been laid upon the desk, when a dash ing bearded and moustached man entered, made direct to the lady, gave her a tremendous box of the ear, with the words, "Very well, madam ; I'll teach you to buy shawls without the permission of your husband"' fhe lady fainted—the man took up the billet de Longue, put it into his pocket, and, looking unutterable things, departed. The men and shop girls of the establishment hurried to the aid of the unfortunate wife—salts and smelling bottles at length restored her to her senses—with one accord a shower of pity fell upon the martyr, and of abuse upon the man. " Oh, Madam ! how i pity you ! He is a brute, a monster ! Flow sorry I ant for you that you have such a' husband." "My husband ! He is no husband of mine ; be is a thief !" The reaction was instant : all within the shop ran into the street and shouted stop thief ! stop thief ! much to the astonishment of many innocent pedestrians, and countless sylphides, " eitadines," and other conveyances which chanced to be passing. The clever rogue had long since effected his escape, with the calmness and dignity of an nfrpnit.,l al proverb runs thu3 [berry leaf becomes satin." yWith time IRELAND. Their Lordships sat at eleven o'clock on Tuesday. A little before one o'clock, the motions of course hav ing been heard, the case of " The Queen v. Samuel Gray," was called on. Mr. Whiteside (Queen's counsel) proceeded to move an arrest of judgment on his client, who had been found guilty at the last Monaghan assizes for firing with intent to kill. [The circumstances of the case are, as Judge Crampton said, rather curious, and involving some very novel points. The prisoner. who was a very prominent member of the Orange Society, had made himself ob noxious to the Roman Catholics of his neighbourhood, and much ill-will was excited between them. Gray was a man of violent disposition, and always went about well armed. In an affray some years ago, he was accused of shooting at a Roman Catholic, and has since stood no less than six trials, in the first five of which he was acquitted, but, as his opponents contended, merely through the par tiality of a jury of his co-reli g ionists. At his sixth and last trial he was found guilty, but havinc , challenged a juror, and having had his challenge overruled by the Crown, he has been kept in custody till the question of right could be decided before the Queen's Bench.] His learned counsel proceeded to state the above facts, and to argue against the legality of the course taken by the Crown in disallowing the prisoner's challenge, which, if proved, would consequently lead to a new trial. In a few minutes after, whilst the Judges were consult- ing on Gray's case, Sir C. O'Loghlin rose and said, my lords, in the case of the " Queen against O'Connell and others," the parties are in attendance, this being the last day of plead ing. The Court, in answer to Mr. Whiteside, stated that Gray's case would stand over. Mr. Bourne, Clerk of the Crown, returned in a few moments, having received the oaths of the traversers to their pleas in chamber, and immediately after the traver sers entered the Court, attended by their attorneys, who proceeded to hand in the pleas to the clerk of the Crown. All the nine pleas having been handed in, and some of the parties having been sworn who had not previously taken the necessary oath, the plea of Mr. O'Con.►ell was read by the clerk, in•compliance with the request of the Attorney-General. It is very brief, and in technical terms' is a plea of abatement, on the ground that by the statute of the 56th of George 111. the witnesses examined before the grand jury who found the bill ought to have been sworn in open court, and were not. A similar a was entered on behalf of the other tray The Attorney-General immediately rose, and called upon the Court to allow him until the next morning to look into this plea more fully. He certainly did hope that the Court would not receive it until he had an opportunity of doing so, and of addressing the Court on the subject. The Lord Chief Justice.—l do not anticipate any ob jection on either side ; but as a member of this Court, I do say that four o'clock is not a proper time to enter into tk , ;- - 'hips then rose, and the Court adjourned. matter The course taken by the Counsel for the defence ap peared to take the law officers of the Crown by surprise, as it seemed to be generally understood that there would be an application for an extension of time to plead. The Attorney-General, and others of the counsel for the crown, argued at great length on Wednesday that the bound, if they intended to put in pleas of ictmen laving done so, hey were taerefore --.-.- too late now with such a plea. After the reply of the counsel for the traversers. The court decided that the plea of abatement was pleaded in sufficient time. - The council for the crown then demurred to the plea, and contended for their right to proceed forthwith with the argument The council for the traversers, however, refused to argue the question without due notice being The court agreed with the latter, and a four-day rule Tas granted, so that the case would come on on Monday yesterday.) DREADFUL OUTRAGE IN TIPPERARY From the Nenagh Guardian.) " On Sunday evening last the family circle, at dinner, of Mr. Thomas Waller, of Finnoe, within a mile-and-a half of Borisokane, consisted of that gentleman and Mrs. Waller, a young boy, their grandson, son to Mr. John Francis Waller, Miss Vereker, sister to Mrs. Waller, and Mr. John A. Braddel, brother-in-law of Mr. Waller. The dining parlour had two entrance doors, one from the hall, and the other leading to the stairs in connexion with the kitchen. Mr. Braddell sat the head, and Mr. Waller at the foot of the table ; and just as the last dish of the first course was being removed Mr. Braddell perceived a man, armed with a pistol,-in the doorway, which was near to Mr. Waller, and who presented it at his head. Mr. Braddell cried out Waller, you are murdered ! and, immediately starting to his feet, was about to rush against the fellow with the chair he set upon, when he perceived himself covered by a blunderbuss in the arms of another villian, who was in the doorway which entered from the hall. Mr. Braddell then rushed upon this fellow, and with the chair forced him into the hail, when the shock struck the flint out of his deadly weapon. The old but ler, a venerable and worthy servant, pushed the young boy under a sideboard, and with a garden tool used for plucking up weeds, he inflicted many severe blows on the ruffian who levelled the weapon at his master. There were in this murderous attack seven persons, and as des perate and sanguinary a battle then ensued as eves , we heard of in a private dwelling. The villians succeeded in wresting the garden tool from the butler, and with it, the butt of their fire-arms, a bar of iron, they found in the hall, and the coulter of a plough, they beat to an unmer ciful extent the two gentlemen, the two ladies, and the aged butler, who was only able to crawl to the alarm-bell, which he rang violently, on which the party made off, leaving, as they supposed, their victims butchered. The alarm-bell brought some of the neighbouring gentry, who found the dining-room and hall more like a slaughter house than those belonging to the mansion of a gentle man. The entire family were in a complete state of in sensibility. Dr. Stoney, of Borrisoka n e, was instantly sent for, when it was found that Mr. Waller and Mr. Braddell were dreadfully injured; Mrs. Waller lying un der the table in her gore, being struck down by the blow of a bar of iron on the back of the head, and Miss Vere ker in a similar or possibly a worse state. Next morning Dr. Dempster, of Nenagh, was early in attendance, and the sufferers were examined and their wounds dressed. Mr. Waller's left arm has both bones broken, there are eleven cuts on his head, and one of his eyes is dangerously injured. Mr. Braddell was brought into Nenagh on Monday. His head is awfully bruised, so much so, that it cannot yet be ascertained if there he a fracture ; his eyes are frightfully injured, and his body severely beaten and hurt, d s ll l bu inflicted, re saturatedt f , o a r n s d oin on me beingdhais days s own tuo blood s n a dr e e e s r s t e a d i n his clothes were found at.p o h n e fa e c x t te i n t t w o i f ll th be e i i m n- - juries or if there be any hope of their surviving this murderous, brutal, and unmanly attack. We have learned that some of the murderers have been seriously wounded, and that there are strong grounds for suspicion against some parties, and great h opes entertained of bringing the delinquents to justice. They must have en tered the house by a back door , which i s usua l ly securely fastened at an early hour in the evening, and they must have taken their shoes off before they ascended the back stairs which led to the hall. A number of magistrates and other gentlemen visited the scene of this atro c i ous outrage on Monday, viz., Major Priestly, Messrs. P. Carroll, T. G. Stoney, T. B. Dancer, T. Sadleir, T. Brereton, resident magistrate, J. Fitzgerald, &c. Tues day morning at eight o'clock there was a consultation of the medical gentlemen. Mr. Waller, we are happy to say, passed a tolerable night. Mrs. Waller is going on favourably. Miss Vereker is in a most dangerous and pr . ecarious state. Mr. Braddell is in that state that it wll be impossible to say for a few days what the result of his injuries may be.

Mecßoom, November 13.—Allow me through your very constitutional paper to arouse the loyal inhabitants of this town and its vicinity to the alarming state of the country, and not to leave the very few Protestants here in the excited state of alarm they must naturally be, while unprovided with that protection which government has now afforded to almost all other towns in Ireland, and surely if proper application were made, we could not be denied. Doubtless, the state of this country in the years 1821 and 1822 still continues fresh in the recollection not only of your readers, but of government itself, when, were it not for the efficient and timely aid of a party of the 11th Foot, some of the Rifle Brigade, and the 6th Carbi 'leers, the consequences would positively have been awful. These (in my opinion) necessary observations have now been particularly called forth by the numerous lights or bonfires which almost simultaneously appeared in this town and neighbourhood on last Saturday night, between the hours of seven and eight o'clock ; the huz zaing and shouting were tremendous, notwithstanding we do not hear even a pretext given by an individual for such alarming proceedings. Surely the jury having agreed in finding the bills against their champion could not have given rise to those fetes de joie." " INNISHANNON, Saturday Evening, 8 o'clock.— whole of the hills surrounding the village are at this mo ment in a blaze with ' signal fires,' accompanied by loud shouting and horn-blowing, which has caused considerable alarm in the minds of the peaceable and loyal inhabitants. Each asks the other what the intention of these fires is? but no satisfactory reply can be given. The assurance of the Attorney-General that a deep-laid conspiracy' exists is the only solution to the question." " BANDON, November 12.—0 n Saturday evenine, about nine o'clock, fires were simultaneously lighted on all the hills in this quarter; and from reports that have reached town yesterday they extended from Cork to Bantry. How much more general they were a few days will determine. Just as-the fires were lighted the temperance band played through the town, and never having played out before on Saturday but on one occasion proves that temperance and the Repeal treason are identical. I have learned that the police from the different cut stations yesterday reported to the inspector here the extent to which this systematic organisation was carried on in their respective localities, and that it was beyond comparison with all former periods. That communications were made there can be no doubt, as policemen were in from the different stations. A per son who travelled from Cork reports having seen seventy fires, and a gentleman who had the courage and curiosity to ride out at the time to see them from several elevated places confirms the statement. The Bandonians have not waited for this hint to prepare for an emergency, as the musket, the blunderbuss, the pistol, and the ball-cartridge are as regularly the furniture of the bed room as the bed itself. If the government but does its duty, in organizing the loyalists into volunteer corps, a rebellious rising of the repealers will end in the total ruin of popery in Ireland. Their reverences would do well to count the cost." " BANDON, November 13.—0 n Saturday night the country as far as the eye could reach was brilliantly illu minated with signal fires, and the stillness was broken by loud huzzas as each fire was got up; several shots were also heard. The country Protestants were very much frightened, thinking the period of the massacre bad ar rived. A great quantity of furze and straw must have been consumed, as the rejoicings lasted for four hours. If the value of the fuel consumed was to be paid for for government purposes, what complaints would be made, as each fire cost at least 6d. ! The persons employed could easily be detected, as the approach would be made in the dark. The report is current here that O'Connell has got free." " SKIBBEREEN, Nov. 11.—Perhaps you would be so good to inform me what has been the cause of all the bon fires throughout this country up to a late hour, with sounding of horns, yellings, and every other demonstra tion of a rebellious tendeney ? I should say, if necessary this evening, I should now hope those popularity-seeking justices and gentry will shortly he induced to open their eyes and see the great want of military in this large and populous town and neighbourhood. While I write this, the bonfires are blazing about us, and the yelling from hill to hill you can have no idea of." SKIBBEREEN, Nov, 11.—I haste n t o i n f orm you o f t h e state the hills a n d the surrounding neighbourhood present at this moment. As far as the eye can reach, hill and dale, the country is literally in one blaze ; signal fires lighted up instantaneously, as if by some magic power, accompanied by the blowing of horns, and the demoniac yells of some thousands who surround these too evident symptoms of something portentous. I have just now been on a hill adjacent to the town, viewing the alarm of these infatuated dupes, and have asked several of them what the fires were meant for, and only received in answer to my inquiries the emphatic reply, •The Protestants are beat.' Here we are, unoffending Protestants, left to have our lives and our properties subject to terror and in timidation, without one company of military to insure us even a hope of safety if anything unpleasant should occur. It is now 11 o'clock; the fires are still up, though in a great measure abated; the police are actively engaged in taking notes of the appearance of the country, and will, no doubt, report to government. " BALLYDEHOB, Nov. 11, Saturday Night, 11 o'clock. —As 1 write the country is in a blaze, as far as the eye can reach, for miles, and was lighted up in about fiverni nutes. The village is i n th e greatest a l arm, some families running as if f or th e i r li ves to the houses of their neigh bours, and I hear of one widow lady who has run into the fields just now, expecting that the long-threatened re- venge on th e Saxons' m a y b e pu t i nto execut i on. Is it not too bad that the entire district, from Bandon and Kinsale to the west, a district of over 80 miles in length, and several miles w id e, i s left without any military pro tection ? Cannot the government allow the yeomanry corps to be called into active service ?"

A very amusing and very characteristic display of pa triotism has just been made by the " Liberal " Lord Cloncurry. His lordship has published a letter complain ing loudly of Irish absenteeism, and his lordship's letter bears the date of Versailles' THE JURY COURT.—The wealthy and respectable Pro testants of Dublin have done nobly : upwards of sixty merchants and gentlemen, each possessing property ex ceeding £5,000, and who never were before on the jury lists, are now eligible to be placed on the panel. On Thursday night, the " Historical Society," conspi cuous in the annals of Irish eloquence, was revived in Trinity College, Dublin. It was dissolved in 1815, after an existence of half a century, and is said to have been the cradle of Burke, Grattan, Croker, and many others. The late Andrew Finucane, of Ennistimon House, co. Clare, bequeathed £3OO to the Mendicity of Dublin, £2OO to the Indi gen t R oom k eepers o f D u bli n, £ 3OO to the poor of Cork, £3OO to the poor of Limerick, £3OO to the poor of Ennis, £3OO to the poor of Ennistimon, and £3OO to the poor tenants on his estates. OFFICIAL RETURN OF THE MILITARY FORCE IN IRELAND UP TO NOVEMBER.—From the official return of the military force at present in Ireland, it appears there are—Cavalry, 3,200 •, Infantry, 13,600 ; Depots, 3,400 ; Royal Sappers and Miners, 300 ; Royal Marines, 800 men ; total, 23,300 effective troop. At the period of high water on Monday evening week, the tide in Blennerville bay, Tralee, ebbed and flowed a few feet five times within an hour. Such a phenomenon is supposed to indicate an earthquake, and probably on the opposite extreme of the globe. During the night succeeding it blew very hard. THE REREALERS V. THE HANOVERIANS.--A priest in this county, in haranguing his flock on Sunday last, thus alluded to the Hanoverians, in order to inspire his hearers with proper pluck, in case of emergency :—" The Hanoverians are fierce-looking fellows : they have great whiskers, and look vary brave; but when they come to close quarters, they are rank cowards!"—Tipperary Con stitution. Sir Harcourt Lees has addressed a short letter to a Dublin paper, in which he strongly recommends an order to be issued to the Duke of Bordeaux to depart from the United Kingdom immediately. He also advises a procla mation to be issued commanding " the diabolical society of Jesuits to vacate all parts of the British dominions within two months, and the instant suppression of the repeal confederation and the Roman Catholic Institute." IRISH LANDLORD COMMISSION.—At length the num ber of members constituting the intended commission is completed, Sir Robert Ferguson, the whig member for Derry, having accepted the vacancy. The commission, therefore, will stand as follows :—Earl of Devon. chair man; Mr. George A. Hamilton, M.P., and Mr. Wynne, of Hazelwood—conservatives. Sir Robert Ferguson, M.P., and Mr. Redington, M.P.—whigs. Colonel Verner, M.P. having taken into consideration the present depression of agricultural produce, has in the most kind and considerate manner directed a reduction — amounting, in some instances, to 30 per cent., and ave raging about 25 per cent.—to be made in the rents of his property in the county Monaghan, commencing at No vember, 1842. But this excellent landlord's liberality has not stopped here, for he has also directed a donation of 15 per cent. to be paid the tenantry on the year's rent, commencing May, 1842, thus making a total reduction of nearly 45 per cent.—Newry Telegraph. AMERICA AND REPEAL.—The New York Herald, of the Ist instant, concludes a brief argument ou the sub ject of repeal of the Irish union, in which the waning interest in that subject is accounted for by reference to the alleged injustice of O'Connell towards the States, with the following strange statement :—`• We have every reason to believe that some general organization or asso ciation will soon be produced in this metropolis, having for its object the legal and constitutional reform of all the governments of Western Europe. Here will probably be the grand centre of a great revolutionary movement, equally embracing England, France, Italy, and Spain. Such, at least, is our recent information." THE MARQUIS OF WATERFORD.—The folowing let ter from the Marquis of Waterford, addressed to the members of the Tipperary hunt, explains his resignation of the county hounds. "In December, 1841," he says, " my hounds were poisoned ; I treated the matter with contempt. In January, 1843, they were again poisoned; I discovered the offender, and forgave him ; but I stated publicly, that if a similar outrage were again committed, I should give up hunting the county. In 1813 my stables were burned, and, but for the prompt conduct of my ser vants, the whole establishment would have been consum ed. From the threatening notices I had received, and from the sworn evidence of persons on the spot when the fire commenced, the magistrates came to the conclusion that the burning was malicious. I immediately deter mined to leave Tipperary, feeling that such a system of annoyance more than counter-balanced the pleasures of fox-hunting." MATRIMONIAL AGENT.—We have read lately of specu tions on agencies in the above line, but had no idea the practice was even among ourselves in Fermanagh. At our quarterly sessions last week, a decent farmer, named Lunny, of rather venerable appearance, residing ❑ear Arney, four miles from this town, was an evidence for his brother in a case of land. This Lunny, under the cross examination of Mr. W. A. Dane, which afforded a crowded court no small amusement, acknowledged he was not always on such good terms with his brother as to become an evidence for him. That he had a falling out with him. and processed him " for work done" was the expression. To further questions, this " work done" was none other than having undertaken to procure a wife for the brother, with the agreement of receiving per tentage from the lady's fortune whatever it might be, viz., £6 for £5O, £7 for £6O, and £2 for every £lO higher. As far as we under stand, he did procure the wife, and a difference about the per tentage was the cause of the process mentioned, which, however, did not reach the distance of a trial, as they managed to settle the dispute.—Erne Packet. ILL+'S STATE OF SOUTH WALES (From the Times.) CARMARTHEN, WEDNESDAY MORNING, Nov. 15 I am sorry t o s t a t e th a t l as t n i g h t ' another incendiary fire took place at a farm-house, three or four miles from this town, and within two miles of a station of the metro politan police and a party of dragoons. As it in some degree exemplifies the present state of the country, I will give you the facts relating to it. It appears that a farm called Llanffynone, in the parish of Llanegwad, about four miles from Carmarthen, was occupied by a tenant called Rachel Jones, who, finding the rent of it more than she could pay and live, gave notice, last Lady Day, to quit it, at that rent, at Michaelmas. About last August it was announced that a farmer, named Thomas Thomas, was ready to take it at the old rent as soon as it was vacant; and on the sth of August, dated Carmarthen, Thomas received through the post-office a threatening letter, in consequence of which he was afraid to enter upon the farm, which remained vacant until last week, when he sent four loads of corn there, which were housed in the outbuildings. Last night the outbuildings were set fire to; the corn, however, was saved by the exertions of some of the neighbours. 1 sent you an account, on Monday, of the apprehension of twenty-five persons, near Fishguard, for destroying a gate there, on the information of one of the parties, who had turned Queen's evidence. The informer, who was actuated by a desire of the reward offered in the Queen's proclamation, appears, however, to be wholly uncorro borated in his evidence, and to be also a man of such in different character that his testimony cannot be relied on. The whole of these cases, it is therefore thought, will be abandoned. Meetings of the various parishes around Narberth, in Pernbrokshire, are being held for the purpose of appoint ing deputies to act as delegates to state their grievances before the commissioners. To the list of grievances have lately been added objections against the corn laws. The state of things in that district is very unsatis factory. I was informed by a magistrate and landowner from there to-day, that it is impossible to get rents paid ; and, if a distress is put in, the bailiffs are ill-used, and the cattle and stock removed in the night. He informed me that he had been obliged to levy a distress for rent on one of his farms, and in the night, the whole of the cattle and stock were driven away. He had caused a search to be made for them in every direction without effect, and had at length discovered some of the pigs of the farm at the bottom of a coal• pit, where they had been let down by ropes, and were feeding. He also informed me that every landlord who attempts to obtain his rent in this way receives threatening notices from " Becea ; " and that nothing but the presence of a large force of military and police keeps the people quiet. This gentleman also in formed me that he had been threatened, that if he inter fered as a magistrate, " Becca" would set fire to his house and burn his property. WELmi TOLLS.—A surgeon who resides at Crickhowell, Breconshire, had,to visit a patient at Nre-tower, a dis tance of three miles. It cost him ls. Gd. tolls for his horse and gig, his fee for attendance being only 3s. 6d.— Globe. REBECCNISM.—We regret :to state that the outrages against toll gates in the Principality are still reported. Twenty-five persons were apprehended near Fishguard, for destroying a gate there, on the information of one of the parties who had turned Queen's evidence. Incen diarism continues to prevail. It is reported that directly after the sittings in the present term, a Special Commis sion will be held again at Cardiff for the trial of the Re becca prisoners at present confined in Carmarthen gaol. THE" REBECCA." RIOTERS.—The Carmarthen Journal of Saturday last, says :—The Special Commission is be ginning to bear peaceable fruits, by the salutary feeling of insecurity and apprehension which it has diffused gene rally among the rioters, by the penitence which the unhappy convicts Hughes, Jones, and Hugh exhibit, and the con trition they express for the illegal and violent course of conduct which has brought them to their present melan choly plight. They now begin to feel the evil and wicked= ness of their flagitious and criminal courses; and, under the influence of this feeling, they have put forth a confes sion, coupled with an exhortation to their deluded fellow countrymen to abstain from those deeds of darkness and depredation which have brought them within the reach of the law, and doomed them to drag on a miserable exist ence as exiles in a foreign country, in the society of felons, murderers, and those other great offenders against the laws of the land, whose crimes have driven them from their homes, and torn them from the comforts of social and civilized life. With the unhappy convicts we de voutly hope that the wretched prospect which opens be fore them, and which has inspired them with so much dread and dismay, will deter young men from frequenting " night meetings," and induce them to " fear to do wrong, and to dread the terrors of the judge." This is salutary advice, addressed to the youth of the Principality, not by any public functionary, whose motives may be mis construed, but by the wretched men, whose infraction of the law and nocturnal outrages have called down upon them its vengeance. We expect much good from this appeal; for it is not the voice of authority, which has been too much disregarded, but the imploring appeal of men who know what the terrors of the law are, and who, in undissembled anguish of heart, entreat their fellow offenders to abstain from the iniquitous courses which have involved them in so much woe and misery. EXTRAORDINARY INSTANCE OF PRESENCE OF MIND. —An extraordinary instance of presence of mind lately occurred at the quarries in the Ross of Mull, Argyllshire, now wrought for the pier in connexion with the Skerry vore Lighthouse by the Commissioners of Northern Lighthouses. On the 17th ult., as Mr. Charles Barclay, the foreman of the quarries, was engaged in removing a splinter of stone from the face of a block of ten tons weight, which lay on an inclined ledge above him, the block slid forward and enclosed his left hand, which was bruised in such a manner that two of his middle fingers were destroyed, and the sharp points of the rock came in contact at the palm of the hand, so that it was held com pletely fast, as in a vice. In this dreadful situation Mr. Barclay's presence of mind and strength of nerves proved the means of saving Lis life and those of the men who were along with him. The first impulse of the men was to fetch a lever to raise the stone and liberate the pri soner; and had Mr. Barclay's presence of mind deserted him, or had he fainted under the excruciating torture he endured, this rash purpose would have been executed, and the stone would have launched forward and crushed him and his comrades beneath its mass. He, however, was enabled to direct their proceedings with a wonderful de gree of composure, and after some fruitless attempts to raise the block, Mr. Barclay resolved to cut out the stone round his hand as the only means of escape. This pain ful operation occupied about twenty minutes, during which time the torture he endured did not prevent his working with the remaining hand in effecting his libera tion from his extraordinary captivity. Mr. Barclay af terwards walked without astistance to the neighbouring village of Bunessan, two miles off, where Dr. M`Diarmid, a gentlemon who had lately returned from the Arctic ex pedition under Ross, removed the shattered bones. Next day Dr. Campbell, who acts as surgeon to the Skerryvore Works, arrived from Tyree, and conveyed his patient to the barracks at Hynish Nt'orkyard, where we are happy to say that he is fast recovering,.

THE SIGNAL FIRES, The following extraordinary statements are copied from the Cork Constitution of Tuesday. As the origin of the hill fires, which burst out simul taneously on the 19th of October, was never satisfactorily explained, it would be more than ever useless to attempt a solution of the mystery in the present instance : " The following letters have reached us, but we may remark that even in the neighbourhood of the city the sig nals blazed as brightly as in remoter places. No fewer than 20 were counted from Sunday's Well, and the yelling was heard for miles round. In quarters of the county, too, not named by our correspondents, the peasantry were as active, and the fires sprung up suecessfuly from hill to bill. In the neighbourhood of Bandon the first fire was Rev. So- A friend of ours having approached one of THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD TRACTARIANISM, The following reply froni the Lord Bishop of this Diocese has been transmitted to an address forwarded to his Lordship from the laity of Bolton, on the subject that is now causing so much excitement in the church : " Chester, Nov. 15th, 1813. " GENTLEMEN,—I desire to express my thanks for the address which you have been deputed to present to me, signed by nearly nine hundred of the inhabitants of 13oiton and its neighbourhood. I have received it with great satisfaction. " It is always gratifying to learn that our actions are approved, and our sentiments responded to, by those whose opinion is justly deserving of esteem. But I de rive a higher comfort from your address. I consider it as a proof of your earnest interest in the cause of evangelical truth. You would scarcely have thought it worth your while to encourage me in the course which I have pur sued, unless personal experience had taught you to value the doctrines which you believe to be endangered by those writings, against which I have felt myself bound to warn my clergy " Though there is much to justify anxiety in the favour which for a while, and in some quarters, those writings have obtained, there is also matter of consolation, in the opportunity which has been afforded of manifesting the soundness of the public mind, and the determined ad herence of the country at large to the doctrines of the re. formation. May I not farther assume, that the same circumstance proves the. general faithfulness of the mi nistry of our church, by`which these doctrines have been established and maintained ; and which has fixed the opi nions of the people on a foundation too firm and solid to be shaken by the occasional storms which only affect what is light and weak and wavering. " Sincerely thanking you for the kind feeling which prompted your address, and praying that God may grant you by His Holy. Spirit to have a right judgment in all things.' " I remain, Gentlemen, " Your faithful servant, J. 8., CHESTER." The Rev. E. D. Jackson, B.C. L., has been appointed by the dean and chapter of Manchester, to the incum bency of Heaton Norris.

NEW CHURCHES AT HUDDERSFIELD.—The trustees of Sir John Wm. Ramsden, Bart., have most liberally consented, in answer to a memorial presented to them by the Vicar of Huddersfield, to afford facilities for the erection of four additional churches in that large parish. They have not only allotted sites, but have also promised £2,000 towards the erection of each church. Sites have also been granted in various places for schools. The pa tronage of the new churches is, we understand, to be vested in the young Baronet.

GLASGOW UNIVERSITY. —The election of Lord Rector took place on Wednesday. The public is aware that, al though an election to the Rectorial Chair takes place an nually, the Lord Rector is generally allowed to remain in otEce for two years--his re-election the second year being almost regarded a matter of course. On the present occasion, however, a large and influential portion of the students resolved, in consequence of Mr. Fox Maule hav ing ceased to be a member of the Church of Scotland, to adopt measures for his expulsion, and for the eta" w it) t person entertaining sentiments more in accordance. 4 heir own, a n d th e E ar l o f E g li n ton was accordingly 11. upon as the opposin g candidate.
