Speaking of the fusion of the two branches of the Bourbons, a letter in one of the Lon . don journal states that the Princes of the House of Orleans have recognised the Count de Chambord as the king of divine right, and made no stipulations in favour of constitutional govern ment. Thus they have abandoned the principle upon which Louis Philippe came to the throne; and although the chith or party, who expect place and power ffoin a restoration, may be satisfied with what the Duke de Nemours is said to have done in the name of his party, it will tend mate rially to make the Orleans family unpopular with the great mass of the people. Of the manner in which the Emperor received the intelligence the same writer is assured, from a quarter likely to be well informed, that the Em peror " s'est beaucoup amuse au recet de ce qui 4'est passé entre M. de Chambord et M. de IV - entburs."— [The Emperor is exceedingly amused at what passed between M. de Chambord and M. de Nemours.] AUSTRIA. For the last three days, says the correspondent of a London journal, artillery, with the necessary men, has been forwarded to Hungary at the rate of six-and-thirty guns a day. The direction of the Northern Railroad has received orders not to send off any goods for eight days, as all the luggage waggons will be required to convey military stores to Hungary. What has occurred, or, more cor rectly speaking, what is likely to occur, it is out of my power to say, but the ninth army corps, which is stationed in this neighbourhood, has received orders to be in " Bereitschaft" (ready to march). Another circumstance, well worthy of mention, is that a very large order for arms has been given here by the Danish (?) minister, SWITZERLAND. New arrests continue to be made in the Canton of Tessin, in consequence of the revelations of Contini, the agent, real or supposed of the Lom bard authorities. In the elections which have taken place for the Council of State for the Cantonof Vaud, the five members of which it was composed have been re elected without any serious struggle. A change of ministry has taken place in Hanover. A commercial treaty between France and Bel gium is under consideration. AUSTRALIA. ARRIVAL OF THE INDIAN QUEEN (From our Third Edition of Yesterday.) The " Black Ball" line of packet-ship, In dian Queen, Captain Mills, belonging to James Baines and Co., has just arrived at this port from Mel bourne, whence she sailed on the 28th of August. She has brought home 38,992 ounces of gold, and sixty passengers. Her advices are five days later than those previously to hand. The Indian Queen sailed from Port Philip Heads 30th August, passed Swan Island 31st, New Zea land 15th September, Cape Horn 6th October, and crossed the equator Ist Nov. • ran 330 miles per day for several days, off Cate Horn. Her greatest day's running was 335 miles. She has performed the voyage out and home in 6 months and 11 days, having left Liverpool on the 17th of May. The Melbourne Morning Herald gives the follow ing as a summary of the news :—" The price of gold has remained immoveable throughout the week, notwitstauding considerable fluctuation in the extent of the supply, which now invariably falls off after the middle of the week. The export of gold dust and ingots for the week, up to yesterday, was confined to that shipped by the Argo, but to day, the Bavaria was to clear out for New York, with some six or seven thousand ounces. The re ceipts of specie have not much exceeded £30,000. In money and banking affairs we have no changes to note, beyond the extension of demand for drafts on London, which shows that other remittances besides gold dust are largely required at present to meet the increasing bulk of importations. The United States also begin to draw off our bullion, —the departure of the first vessel direct for the commercial capital of that republic having been announced for to-day, as referred to above. On the other hand, remittances to the amount of a million, or upwards, will be shortly flowing into the colony, from the recent wool sales, and will restore the balance which now turns against us. The usual weekly return of shipping and imports appended hereto, includes eight days on the pre sent occasion, owing to the return having been made up a day earlier than usual last week, for transmission to England by the Argo. The aggre gate of the two Weeks shows an arrival of over 4,000 tons of shipping, and about six thousand passengers. The principal feature in the imports has been a decline in the receipts of flour, and a large increase in those of building materials and useful implements from Great Britain, America, and other distant ports. These arrivals, together with the large amount of more substantial buildings now in progress in the city, can hardly fail to affect, shortly, the enormous rents still demanded for small tenements, and promise ultimately to increase largely the amount of storage, both for wholesale and retail dealers. Although a slight appearance of activity has been imparted to some branches of the wholesale trade this week by, speculative purchasers, nothing has transpired effectually to stop the downward ten dency which the constant heavy arrivals of goods occasion. The flour trade may, however, be still excepted from this depression, additional firmness having been evinced in the colonial imports of that article, which now find a market at the full rates of the town mills. We a have also heard of good barrel flour realising nearly the same figure. Bran con tinues very scarce, and some importers are asking as. 6d. per bushel. The very large receipts of oats keep down the price of that corn; and for prime English barley, lls, is obtained with difficulty. Quotations in the wine trade are considered perfectly nominal ; and all descriptions of spirits, except rum, have gone down lower. Martell's brandy has been sold at 10s. 6d. to 12s. per gallon. Malt liqours are also lower : a large quantity of bottled porter (choice brand) has changed hands at 10s. in the bay. In the provision trade, the subjoined price cur rent will show a further decline in many articles, particularly English hams and bacon. Tea, coffee, and sugar maintain previous rates, except English loaf sugar, which is decidedly lower. A decline of about 2d. per lb. has been sub mitted to in manufactured tobacco. Timber is ten to twenty per cent. lower, but, the prices are still highly favourable for the im porters. - We lately noticed the increased importation of articles of luxury, as marking our progress onward to a more settled condition : we have now the gratification to perceive a constantly increasing import of food for the mind, in the way of books, pictures, musical instruments, &c. Another and more matter-of-fact evidence of this progress is the almost daily announcement of new joint-stock com panies for carrying out desirable and practical objects in that city. The Cleopatra steamer was to sail from Mel bourne on the Ist of September for Liverpool. Two of the persons implicated in the recent extensive gold escort robbery, had been arrested and lodged in gaol at Portland. There was a great demand in the labour market, and in consequence the rate of wages had slightly advanced beyond those last reported. The government escort from Mclvor and Goul burn arrived at the treasury on the 26th of August, with its usual punctuality, bringing down 1,408 ounces of gold. Last number of certificates, 1,534; Goulburn, 17. The government escort from Castlemaine, in charge of Lieutenant Messenger, and a troop of the mounted 40th, arrived at the Treasury, on the same day, with 35,360 ounces. Last numbers : Forest Creek, 10,567 ; Sandhurst, 18,137 ; Eagle Hawk, 85 ; Fryer's Creek, 666. Golden Point, 11 ; Wederburn, 204; Amherst, 74; Moliagull, 89. Exchange on London for 30 days Bills, was quoted at par or one half per cent discount, for every additional thirty days. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. PRICES OF FLOUR AND BRAN AT THE TOWN MILLS.

THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES 4 LIVERPOOL POLICg COU.RT. - ESTERDAY, A man named dardner, was charged by officer No. 476 with having drawn a knife and threatened him with it, in St. James's-;street, When the officer attempted to arrest him for drunkenness. it he prisoner was fined ss. and costs. SMUGGLING.— William Taylor, fireman on board the " Duchess of Kent " steamer; was fined 6s. or 7 days' im prisonmeni .for" having brought ashore a pint bottle of whiskey: The prosecution was instituted on the part of the customs authorities, to put an end to an impression generally prevalent that persons are at liberty to bring ashore any quantity of spirits not exceeding a pint. Theodore Dermeau was fined 11s. or 7 days' imprisonment for having brought ashore 11 lb. of foreign manufactured t'ibacco. STABBING. — A negro named Bdward Gay was charged by a woman named Ann Gill with having stabbed her in the face with a knife. The woman's face was all bandaged, and appeared to have received some severe wounds. She stated that between 11 and 12 o'clock on Saturday night she and another female were passing the corner of Queen-street, when the prisoner ran at her and stabbed her in the face with a knife. She stated that she had not any acquaintance with him, but had seen him before. The prisoner was re minded, in order that the evidence of the surgeon who examined the wounds might be produced. William Bird and John White were charged with stealing 501bs. of copper nails out of the " Fanny," lying in Bramley- Moore dock, and belonging to Messrs. Stewart and Douglas. The prisoners were sent for trial. A SSAU ST UPON THE POLlCE.—lrilliam Gilmour, _Robert Ruckstone, Anne Ruckstone, Anne Gilmour'and two men named Davis and Young, were charged with having assaulted the police. The particulars of the case were published in Monday's paper. A person named James Gilmour having been charged by a girl named Cotterhill, with an indecent assault. The police officers went to the house to arrest him 3 when the parties mentioned attacked them. Mr. Owens defended Ruckstone. The two women and William Gilmour were discharged. Ruckstone, Davis, and Young wero fined ss. each and costs, or seven days' imprisonment. INDECENT ASSAULT.—James Gilmour was then placed in the dock, charged with having indecently assaulted, and also beating, the girl named Cotterhill. We have already pub lished the particulars of the case, which were nearly recapitu lated in the evidence. Mr. Mansfield said it was a most dastardly and. brutal anaault, and tho oourt CAW no roacon why they should not go to the full length which the statute allowed. The prisoner was then sentenced to pay a fine of £2O, or be imprisoned for six calendar months, and kept to hard labour. ASSAULTING AN OFFICER. —A man named Edwards was fined 40s. and costs for assaulting a policeman on Saturday night. It appeared that the prisoner was obstructing the footway, along with a number of others, and annoying the passengers with oaths and foul language, and when the officer went to arrest him he struck and knocked him down. He then ran away, but was passed by the officer, who, with another, succeeded in discovering his residence and arresting him. The prisoner stoutly denied that he was the person who committed the assault, and stated that he had been more than an hour in bed at home when the officer came to arrest him. He did not, however, produce any witnesses in sup port of this statement, and the officers distinctly deposed to his identity. ROBBING AN EMPLOYER.—Thomas Winstanley was placed before the bench, on a charge of stealing a hone and 2s. 6d., the property of Mr. Roberts. A police officer from Preston, (Peter Topping), stated that the prisoner gave himself into his custody, saying he had stolen the acticles. The owner of the property identified the hone. The prisoner admitted his guilt, and was committed for seven days. STEALING Snots. —.Pose Stanley was charged by police officer 22, with stealing a pair of carpet shoes, the property of Charles Holden, 114 , Stanhope - street. The prisoner went into the shop late on Saturday night to look at a pair of shoes, put on a pair, and walked out of the shop ; upon being followed she ran away, and cast the shoes into the street.--Fourteen.days' imprisonment. OBTAINING GOODS BY FALSE PRETENCES.—John Scholes, who was apparently a respectable looking person, was charged with obtainuag3so fathoms of rope from Messrs. Williams and Sharpe, ship chandlers, Park-lane. The manager of the establishment stated that the defen dant went to his office, and represented that he wanted 39 fathoms of 3 inch rope, saying that he was the contractor for building the reservoir in the outskirts of the town. He re quested to have his address taken down, which he said was 108, Gill-street, and that his name was Robertson. The rope was sent to that address, and afterwards the defendant gave him another oroer, which he also executed; but he afterwards understood that the rope had been sold to a store broker the same night it had been delivered. Mr. Clough : Yes, for almost half its value. Did not the defendant represent to you that he was the contractor of the corporation reservoir ? Witness : He did. • Mr. Clough : If he had not done so would you let ; him have bad the rope - Witness : Certainly not. . _ A marine store-dealer, named Murray, living in Liver street, stated that' he purchased the rope of the defendant, who was introduced to him as a respectable person. He inquired of the person who brought him, but did not go to his house. He thought by his appearance he was a respect able man. Mr. Clough : What did you give for the rope ? Witness : Eleven pounds. Mr. Clough : What do you think is the value of it ? Witness : I do not know much about the value of the rope ' as it was new, but I should say it wa s wo r th ab ou t £l5. Magistrate: You, as a man who deals in ropes, and a rope-maker, ought to know the value of it. If I wanted evidence of the value of ropes I should go to a rope maker. Mr. Clough : I shall apply for a general remand, trusting to finding out the other person. The Magistrate : There is sufficient evidence for us to grant a remand. Mr. Clough : You must give up the rope. The Witness : You will give me an indemnity ? Magistrate : You must give up the rope. I will have the rope delivered up. The prisoner was then remanded, to afford the detective officer who had the case in hand, an opportunity of com pleting the evidence in the present case, and also others, in which it is suspected he has been concerned ; as latterly se veral merchants have been similarly swindled out of their property. The prisoner has already been convicted, and sentenced to ten years' transportation. ALLEGED ROBBERY BY A PROSTITUTE.—Margaret Shelling was charged with robbing a person named James Garvin of eight sovereigns and some silver. The prose cutor's account of the affair was, that he had met with the prisoner in the locality of Tarleton-street, and treated her with a glass of whiskey. That he afterwards accompanied her to a house, where he saw her put some drug into his drink; and subsequently she put her hands into his pocket and took the money. At the time she put something into his drink, he was perfectly sensible • but he was then turned into the street, when he became almost stupid. He positively swore that he distinctly felt the girl's hand in his pocket, and also that he saw the money in her hand. The prisoner, rather a good-looking female, denied all knowledge of the robbery. She was walking out with a female friend, when they met the prosecutor, "who was blind drunk," and he said, " Well, Peggy, is that you ?" but he did not know her from the other girl. They all went into a public-house, and she and her friend had a g l a s s o f w i ne , but she would not allow the complainant to have more than a bottle of ginger-beer because he was drunk. While in the house he gave her a sovereign to pay the round with, and the landlady gave him 19s. out. Me penca cue money out of his pocket—v.oK iii, 01, dad copper—and she begged of him to taice care of it. She left the house, and had never seen him since. The police-officer who received the information, stated, the day after the robbery the complain ant was in a state of intoxication. The case was remanded for the girl to produce evidence to exculpate her from the charge. COMMITTAL OF A WHOLE FAMILY. — An elderly woman, named Margaret Dee, and two of her daughters, Margaret .Browne, (who had a child at her breast), Mary Dee, and Catherine Holmes, were charged with stealing £22 10s., the property of John Howell, 46, Clayton-street. Scott, of the detective force, stated that he received information of the robbery, and suspicion falling on the prisoners, he traced them to a lane in Norman-street, off Gloucester - street, and upon searching, he found a purse containing £l7 10s. ; the old woman went to a corner of the room, and he followed her, and there found two half sovereigns, which, with a number of things they had redeemed from the pawnbroker's, made up the amount stolen. Mrs. Howell stated the prisoners all lodged in her house,—they were shoe-binders, but so badly off they could not pay the rent. On the evening of the robbery the old lady had asked her to go into her room, and supposing it to be about the rent, and there being a bottle on the table she took a glass of either whiskey or gin and sat down for a short time. When she got up to go she found the door was locked, but the elder prisoner said she always had to lock the door, because the latch was broken. She heard a deal of whisper ing, and upon going into her parlour she locked the door, and after hearing all the prisoners, as she thought, leave the house, as they were in arrear of rent, she went to her cash box, when she found that it had been broken open and all the money, with the exception of 10s., taken. She gave the alarm and a neighbour came to her assistance. This female went with the officer in pursuit of them, and after corrobo rating the officer's statement as to finding the money, spoke to hearing the elder prisoner confess to having had the money, and that she hael redeemed the goods with it, which goods she afterwards agreed to re-pledge, if the prosecutrix would forgive her. The female Holmes was discharged, the evidence being insufficient to connect her with the robbery, and the other three prisoners were committed to take their trial at the ensuing sessions. THE GREAT COTTON ROBBERY. —Nancy _Handley was brought before the bench, by detective officer Carlisle, on a charge of being connected with the other persons, now in custody, on the charge of embezzling wool, by forged or der. The officer state the husband of the prisoner was in Lancaster gaol, but would be brought before the magistrates, and that the woman had admitted to him the part she took LA the transaction. The prisoner was therefore remanded. STEALING FROM THE SHOP.—An old man, who gave his name, Thomas Caeneir, was committed for two months, on a charge of stealing a piece of cloth from the shop of Mr. J. Rogers, 141, James's-street. SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES.—.Tohn Begley was charged with being on board a Spanish vessel, for the purpose of committing a felony. The prisoner was , - detected in the cabin, and not being able to give a satisfactory account of himself and having been previously before the bench, he was committed for three months' imprisonment. THE EFFECTS or A BAI3 CHARACTER. — William Thomp son, alias " Barking Bill," was early this morning appre hended in St. Anne-street; for not being able to give satis factory account of himself. The Magistrate : Has he been here before ? The Clerk ; Yes, but it is sit years ago. A Detective : He is the leader of a notorious gang of thieves. This is the second time he has been here for prowling about St. Anne-street. The Clerk : but he was discharged, from which it may be inferred that he had not committed any ofience. The Magistrate : There must be more evidence before me to justify my committing him: Detective : I know him to be the associate of thieves. Defendant denied that he had been in bad company, and stated the police had a spite against hith Magistrate : What offence has he committed Several Detectives simultaneously : I know him to be the associate of thieves. _ _ The Clerk : But that is no offence. He has not been here since 1848, when he was tried and acqUitted: Mr. Clough : I know that he is always among thieves. Magistrate : But that is not such an offence as will jus tify me in sending him to prison. Mr. Clough He is the most notorious vagabond in Liver pool, and has been so for the last 20 years. He is so deep that we can never get any legal evidence against him. Magistrate : Surely if he was so bad we should halt() had him here before now. The prisoner denied the statements of the officers, and, there being no tangible evidence, the prisoner was dis charged, ROBBERIES n PEosTrroms.—Several charges were pre ferred against prostitutes in various parts of the town, for robbing parties ; but in all the cases it appeared that the parties had been drunk, and could not give a satisfactory account of themselves or their property, and the parties charged were therefore dismissed. SMVOGLEIG. —Edmund Howard, a seaman, was ordered to pay a fine of 10s; for smuggling tobacco, which was found by the custom-house officer concealed in his chest. THE POLICE OFFICERS AT VAtiLT.—This case; Which carne before the bench of magistrates on Saturday-411mi the two parties charged with assaulting the officer, were discharged, and directed to appear this day—again came on for hearing, when the police-officers, Wilson (458) and Nelson (518) appeared to answer the Charge preferred against them—the former with being drunk on duty, and the latter withrefusing to take a charge when desired so to do. Mr. Owen appeared to watch the case for the accused. _ _ _ The magistrates' clerk briefly detailed the facts of the case—which were that pelicc=officer Wilson had charged Mr. Duffy with: assaulting him on Vriday night, and Mr. Moss with attempting to rescue Mr. Duffy from his custody. Upon the case being heard, evidence was adduced to show that at the time Wilson was in a state of drunkenness, and assaulted the accused parties, instead of their having assaulted him. With this evidence before them the magistrates had decided that a full investigation should be made into the case. Thomas Duffy stated—l am a butcher, and reside at No. 52, Islington; on Friday last, about ten o'clock, the two policemen, Wilson and Nelson, came to my shop door; they were both together ; they asked me if I Would go and take a glass with them ; I did do so, and we went to a public. house and had three glasses of whiskey punch ; the policeman Wilson paid for it ; I remained there about ten minutes, and then went out ; I went and shut my shop up ; they both came to my shop again, and pressed nie to go and partake of another glass with them ; that was a little after ten o'clock ; I went with them to the public-house; we had each three glasses of punch, and stopped in the house until nearly twelve o'clock ; I and Wilson had some little dispute about religion ; I told him he was a fool to talk about religion ; they all left that house, and went to another at the corner of Finch-street; then Wilson had a glass of whiskey, and I and Nelson had a glass of wine ; that was not paid for by any of us ; the officers were both in uniform ; Nelson went away as soon as he had drank his glass, to his duty, and left me and Wilson together. This was about 20 minutes after twelve. I and 'Wilson left also. Wilson said when we got to the corner, " come down here," (into a cellar brothel) but I resisted and told him I would not go with him. The reason I did not go with him was because I had a deal of money about my person. When he found I would not go into the brothel with him, he took me by the body and threw me into the street, This he repeated three times. When I got up I went to look for Nelson for the purpose of giving him in charge. I met Nelson and told him what had happened, and we went back to Wilson. We met Wilson with some other men. I did not at first recognise who it was. It was Mr. Moss. I heard Moss tell Nelson to take Wilson in charge for striking him. Nelson took hold of Wilson but let hint go again, I could not say why he did do so. They let him go again before he got to the bridewell. They all went to the bridewell at Rose-hill. When we all got into the bridewell, Wilson charged Moss and myself with assaulting him, The bride well keeper (Tomlinson) would not allow me to speak or explain the case and I was locked up, and he would not permit me to be bailed out. The Clerk : Pray what state was the policeman Wilson in, when this took place ? Witness : Drunk—very drunk. The Clerk : And Nelson ? Witness : lle was not sober, but was capable of taking care of himself. Cross-examined by Mr. Owen : I did not see Moss in the public house. It was a brothel in Finch-street that Wilson asked me to go to. I was about 30 or 40 yards from the brothel when he first threw me down. I did not knock Wilson down. Peter Moss stated : I am the inspector of the rails to the London and North Western railway company; I was in Finch-street on Friday night; I saw the police officer Wilson coming down the street without his hat, and waving his stick over his head, saying he would fight any twelve stone man in Liverpool; I saw one of m men fall down; I do not know what caused him to fall ; (the witness pointed out the person) ; Wilson came up to me and dealt me a blow on the head with his stick ; I called out for the police ; Nelson came up, and I gave Wilson in charge for striking me ; I did not speak a word to him before he struck me ; Nelson caught hold of "Wilson ; Wilson swore that if he (Nelson) did not leave hold of him he would knock him down ; Wilson said he would go gaily alone ; I charged Nelson not to let Wilson go ; they were going gaily, when Wilson slipped away from the two officers, caught hold of one of my men, and threw him down; I again charged Nelson to take care of Wilson; they then took him in cus tody to the bridewell door ; when I got in Wilson charged me ; I was not allowed to speak ; the bridewell-keeper would not permit me to speak; I told him the case just as I have told you, gentlemen ; I was as sober at that time as I am now, as I have not drank anything for the last six months. This witness was examined by Mr. Owen, but no mate rial point iu the evidence was shaken. His evidence as to the quantity drank, Wilson's state and his violence, was corro borated by several witnesses. Inspector Bullock stated : The two ofnc.c., Wilson and Nelson, belong to my sectin.. when I saw them in St. Anne-street. Nol.,eu Aad hold of Wilson. I had seen them luty that evening in Islington. It was about twenty minutes past one when I saw them. Wilson said he should not go any further without Moss, who, he said, was his prisoner, as he had assaulted him in Finch-street. Wilson was all over mud. I endeavoured to ascertain what had occurred, but could not get an answer. I was not told that Wilson had committed an assault. I went with them to the bridewell. I kept my eye upon Moss. When they were in the bridewell, Wilson said he had been knocked down by Mnss, and that Duffy had also knocked him down. Wilson was much agitta.a. Ha was sober at that time. M. Owen briefly addressed the bona, nn behalf of his clients, and called Inspector Grace, who stated he saw the parties at the bridewell. Wilson stated he had been assaulted by Moss, and afterwards by Duffy ; neither Duffy nor Moss made any observation. By the Clerk : Wilson was perfectly sober. I did not hear anything else that took place, I went on with my work. The Magistrate : Was there anything else took place ? Witness : I heard Duffy say something about a brothel and prostitutes. I did not notice whether Duffy made any charge against the officer. The Magistrate : It is strange that you should only recol lect one side of the question. , The keeper of the bridewell corroborated the testimony of Grace. Mr. Really was examined, and said the police were in uniform, and on duty when in the house. They drank whiskey. The Magistrates, after a short consultation said, address ing the defendants : You are suspended for a time. There is conflicting testimony in some parts of the evidence, but your conduct was highly improper. It is clear you were in three places drinking while you ought to have been attending to your duty, You are each suspended. This case excited a considerable amount of interest. The magistrates on the bench were, Mr. Mansfield, Mr. Earle, and Mr. Benn. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVED August Caroline, from London, at Mel bourne.

On last evening the members of this society, which has been established under the patronage of Alderman E. Molyneux, assembled at a tea-party at the society's room, Lower Beau street. The room, which was elaborately decorated with evergreens and banners having such inscriptions as " long life to the Queen," "Protestant ascendancy," "no surrender," &c., was crowded to suffocation; but of the couple of hun dred people present, more than nine-tenths were women. The chair was filled by the Rev. W. F. TAYLOR, Incumbent of St. John's. Amongst the gentlemen present were—Rev. George Ireland, curate of St. John's; Rev. W. P. B. Matthias, (St. Matthias) Rev. S. B. Sutton, M.A. ; Rev. M. White, 8.A.; Rev. T. Robinson, 8.A., and Mr. W. Clarke. When the tea equipage had been removed, and prayer offered up, The CHAIRMAN, who was enthusiastically received, ad dressed the assembly at considerable length. In accounting for the establishment of the society, he observed that the Church of Rome had of late put forth the most extraordi nary exertions to regain, if possible, her long lost ascendancy in this island. But might the Lord grant that such ascen dancy would never again be obtained, for when possessed of it the blood of many Protestant martyrs bore but too ample testimony to the uses to which it had been applied. (Hear, hear.) As a proof of this exertion on the part of the Church of Rome, he would merely mention that in England there were at present 700 chapels or mass-houses, where the God of Heaven was daily blasphemed, and where what was called a sacrifice was offered up, but which was one of the greatest abominations under high Heaven, and calculated to bring down its vengeance upon the land. (Applause). She had eleven colleges here to rear up her priests in perjury, profanity, and the theology of Dens ; and, moreover, no less than seventeen monasteries and fifty-three nunneries, into which young girls were entrapped at an early and unsuspecting age. Oh those ecclesiastical bastiles ought to be suppressed by the law—(applause) ; for he' believed that was the only effectual means by which this evil could be remedied. There were no less than one thousand priests in the country, who were dis tributing tracts—holding meetings wherever they had an opportunity— carrying on a crusade against our constitution, and sapping the liberties cemented by the blood of our fore fathers. Therefore it was that the society was established ; and in order to meet the case its movements should be ags gressive. They should not deem that there was anything unchristian in this, for Christianity itself was essentially ag gressive. They wanted to spread the principles of Protes tantism—not of negative Protestantism—but of that Protestantism which was contained in their articles and homilies, and based on tLe bible. (Applause.) The Rev. Chairman then gave an amusing description of the necessity the Pope was put to, in order to keep down his " corpora tion," to play billiards and bagatelle, and in conclusion hoped that his audience would never permit him to play bagatelle with their religion and liberties. (Applause.) Mr. John BENNETT, the secretary, then read the rules of the society, which he said at present numbered 300 members. Rev. W. SUTTON moved the first resolution, which xv.a to the offpM- that t.ho prnmotion of the rolisiolLS principles of the reformation was a duty incumbent on all, who believed that these principles were in accordance with the revealed will of God. Rev. Xr. ROBINSON seconded the resolution, which was unanimously adopted. Rev. Mr. WHITE moved, and Rev. Mr. IRELAND seconded, the next resolution. It was to the effect that they desired to give their cordial support to the Liverpool Auxiliary, and to the British Society for promoting the religious principles of the Reformation ; and in so doing, contemplated not only the general good effects that might result from the society's operations at large, but also the particular benefit which might be looked for to the Roman Catholics residing in the town and vicinity. The resolution was unanimously adopted; after which the party broke up. THE REV. DR. D'AUBIGNE, OF GENEVA.—OPENING OF THE PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE.—We are happy to find that this distinguished divine and historian of the Reformation is now in Dublin, on his way to Belfast, for the purpose of delivering the inaugural address at the opening of the Pres byterian College. The precise date of the opening is not yet fixed, but will be settled in the course of to-day. The College Committee, we understand, had agreed that Dr. D'Aubigne might postpone his visit till the close of the ses sion in April ; but from the impression that it would be more conducive to the interests of the college, he was resolved to comply with their original request.—Northern Whig. DEATH OF GARRETT FARRELL, THE CONVICT RIBBON INFORMER. —We understand that this unfortunate man, who was convicted of ribbonism and sentenced to transportation, and who afterwards became an informer, is now no more, having recently died of disease of the chest and lungs in the Mountjoy convict prison, Dublin.—Newry Examiner.— From the information which he gave a considerable number of arrests were affected, both in England and Ireland. From some cause not explained, the cases against the Down men were not prosecuted at the last assizes—probably the crown prosecutors hoped for additional evidence by a postponement, and that they did not deem what they had sufficient to se cure verdicts. The position of the crown is now worse ; and such is the tenacity with which the members of the Ribbon Society hold by one another, that there is now no likelihood of other witnesses supplying this man's place. In short, we may calculate upon an early general goal delivery of all the ribbonmen in custody against whom the informer Farrell was a chief witness.--. Belfast Mercury. MANCHESTER. CAUTION TO PARTIES ENLISTING. —At the Salford Town- Hall, on Saturday, a person named William Bamford, 22 years of age, was placed before the bench on a charge of having enlisted in the first dragoons, now stationed in the cavalry barracks, Hulme, under false pretences. It appeared that he had enlisted into the above regiment, and made a declaration that he was neither married, nor laboured under any bodily infirmity. On the day after he enlisted, cer tificates were brought to the commanding officer, from which it appeared that he was married, and that h e was su bj ec t t o fits. The prisoner stated, that in making ,the declaration he had done, which he admitted to be false, he acted under the guidance and advice of the soldier who enlisted him, he being anxious to be a soldier. Mr. Trafford told the prisoner, that for the perjury he had committed, he had rendered himself liable to seven years' triirork.ation.—The case was remanded to Wednesday next. • ,".; STEALING A FENDER FltOM A Pura.gick4sr.—At the Salford Town-hall, on Saturday, a persoir artined Thomas Bowden, labourer, was charged with stealirTgafender from ; the tap .room of the Custom-house tavern, Chaperitree‘ It appeared that the prisoner went into the house in question on the previous evening, and called for a gill of ale. Some time after he left, the fender that was in the tap-room was missed.

In one of them they found the fender, which had been sold by the prisoner for ls. The prisoner was shortly afterwards apprehended. Com mitted to the sessions. CHARGE OF STEALING A Boog. PROM A STALL.—At the City police-court, Manchester, on Saturday, a little boy named. John Hardy, was charged with having on the pre vious day stolen a book from a stall in Liverpool-road, the property of a person named Jackson. The prosecutor stated that he saw the boy steal the book, that he followed him, and gave him into custody. The parents of the boy ap peared in court, and under a promise from them that they would take better care of him for the future, he was dis charged, EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF A TRAVELLER FOR A LIVER POOL COMMERCIAL 110V8E,—Yesterday, at the City police court, an elderly tatterdemalian named John Whecldon, was placed before the magistrates on a charge of having robbed Edward jodclrell, a traveller in the employment of Messrs. Fell and Co., tea and coffee merchants, Liverpool, of a purse containing £l4O in gold and notes, on the morn ing of Thursday last, in a house in Rochdale road. Mr. Rigge, solicitor, was for the prisoner. The prosecutor, Edward Joddrell, who stated that he was a commercial traveller said, that on Thursday morning last, between six and a quarter to seven o'clock, he was coming home, he had been out rather late the night before, and when at th'ea corner of Gould-street, Rochdale-road, he called at the Wellington Inn. He stayed there some time, and had something to drink. He was not positively drunk, but still he was not so very sober. He stayed in the house some time, and in the course of the morning, perhaps an hour or two after he entered the house, he went into the tap-room to warm himself. He had begun to feel cold, and upon this, he went into another tap-room, and shortly afterwards he lost his purse and all that was in it. He had been giving other people in the house drink, and had from £l4O to £143 With him. That money was safe on his per son about a quarter of an hour or half an hour before he missea it. ne leconeuted h.v1. 6 , ;6 we left trousers pocket. He was asleep in the tap-room. He remembers seeing the prisoner in the tap-room ; he was in the tap-room with him, and sat by the fire. The prisoner was in witness's company, and he gave him and several others drink. When he missed his purse, he went out of the tap-room, and told the young man in the vault that he had lost it. The greater portion of the money was in gold, there was also a £2O note, and he was not positive whether there was not a £5 or a £lO note besides. He went and gave information of the robbery to the police.— In cross examination, the witness stated that he had been drinking during the night previous, nearly all night, but not quite all night. He stopped drinking between 11 and 12 at night; when he was at the Wellington it was between 6 and 7in the morning. He was a traveller in the tea and coffee trade. He paid a bricksetter 3s 6d at the Wellington to keep him company, and drink with him. Believes the bricksetter got the 3s 6d, and went shortly afterwards. Does not recollect seeing him go. The pri soner was in the house after he missed his money. The money was in a crotchet purse. William Croft, the bricksetter, stated that on Thursday morning, about 23 minutes to 7 o'clock, he was at the Wel lington, and had ordered a little rum, when the prosecutor came in,, and kicked him behind. The prosecutor then asked him what he was, and was told that he was a brick setter. He then said, " I suppose you earn about 5s a day, I will give you Ss, and will make you drunk as well: for I am going to be fool for every one to-day." He gave wit ness 3s 6d, shortly after which be went away, in order to go to his work, but the prosecutor followed him, brought him back and gave him some rum and ale to drink. They went into the tap-room, and as soon as Joddrell fell asleep, he went away from him. He saw the money of the prosecutor, which, during the morning he placed on the counter, in a purse, which seemed to contain a great deal of gold, and a quantity of paper. Mrs. Thorpe, who keeps a beer-house in River-street, Hulme, stated that on Thursday morning, about 11 o'clock, the prisoner came into her house, along with another man, and asked for some beer. He was the worse for liquor, and the friend who was along with him wanted him to go home without having anything more to drink. He would not, however, and called for two glasses of ale, to provide pay ment for which, he pulled out a crotchet purse contain ing a large quantity of gold. Seeing that such was the case, witness sent for the wife of the prisoner, who came to the house and got from her husband the purse. His wife began counting the contents, and when she had counted 30 sovereigns, she said she was so overcome she could count no more. The purse was a crotchet one, in the shape of a bag. Sergeant Reade, of the D division, stated that the pri-. soner first told him that he had no money, when he went to apprehend him. Witness then said thatle should take him to the police-office, and his wife said that if he would not take him into custody, she would take him to the place where the money was, which, her husband said, he had found in the street. She then took witness to Mrs. Belton, River-street, who handed over to him £7 10s. which, she said, she had received from the prisoner's wife. The pri soner afterwards said that he found the purse and money, that he burned the purse, and gave the money to his wife. John Pollard, waiter at the Wellington, corroborated the evidence of the preceding witnesses, as to what they stated took place at that house. The prisoner was fully committed to take his trial at the next sessions. BRUTAL ASSAULT UPON A MARRIED WOMAN.—At the Manchester City police-court, three boatmen, named James Berry, John Hudson, and John Brierly were placed before the magistrates, charged with having, on the 24th of Nov., criminally assaulted Jane Howard.

Tl. poor animal was staggaring towards She clo.e, and. died n three days ! What brutes must ti2.y have been who drove him ! The wager was *4,000. MEETING OF IRISH CONFEDERATES IN NEW YORK.— A meeting' of the various clubs of Irish confederates of '4B was held in New York, on the 14th inst., Thomas Taylor in the chair. Colonel Doheny made a spirited speech, coun selling immediate action on the part of the Irish-Americans, in reference to the condition of Ireland and her fitness to strike once more for liberty. He believed the present was a suitable moment for the attempt, and hoped his country men would procrastinate no longer. Irishmen, he said, had too lofty an idea of English power. She was a weak power, in fact, and Ireland in herself was a much stronger power. They should not fancy that, in an encounter with their op pressor, the Irish would be opposed by the people of Eng land—their opponents would be the aristocracy only, which always, when tested by the sword, was found to be weak. Tie believed that were a struggle between liberty and tyranny to take plat,, r.-.3l;qhmen would outnumber the Irish in the ranks of right. He advocates t-z-I,_ American military or ganisation, because he saw in them hope for ins an d and believed that a few thousands of such, landed in Ireland, would be able to scatter English garrisons in Ireland, and restore to that country her liberties. The remarks of Mr. Doheny were received with great applause, but a motion was made, and unanimously adopted, to postpone further consideration of the subject of assistance for Ireland for one month. The remainder of session was occupied in making further arrangements for the reception of. John Mitchel, and in transacting private business appertaining to the organisa tion. Invitations to be present were extended to Messrs. Meagher, Doheny, Dillon, Savage, and Cavanagh. No res ponse was heard from Mr. Meagher. The only speech made was Colonel Doheny's. It is understood that the reception ceremonies of John Mitchel will consist of a ball and a sump. tuous supper. 4)a 33frtbo, fliiarriazt* an Qtaths. BIRTHS.
