SHIPBUILDERS' ASSOCIATION. A special general meeting of the members of this associa 4ion was held at ten o'clock, on yesterday, in the Regulating _le circulars stating the number of Liver __ that could have been employed during the last had they been available ; and for the transaction of 'Qffice, t other business— Mr. J.

I now leave it to you to deal with the subject as you think proper. Mr. CLAYTON suggested it should all stand over until after the meeting with the men. The CHAIRMAN thought they ought to let the men and the public know what their opinions were on the present case. The cartage reiolution was not one that he should like to see put on one side. Mr. GRAYSON remarked that the men having so far met them, in endeavouring to ascertain the number of men wanted by several employers, and also having acceded to the preposition • that six of their body to form a committee should meet with an equal number of masters, it would be premature, under those circumstances, to break up in an abrupt manner proceedings which had been so far amicably conducted. What might be the result he could not tell. There appeared to be a very decided ob jection to admitting apprentices in their sixth year as jour neymen; but he merely threw that out as a suggestion that occurred to him. There appeared to be on the part of the men an inclination to meet the necessities of the trade, either by piece work, or it might be an increase of men who had really served seven years to the business. That would still better.meet the wishes of the employers. Whatever it be, he (Mr. Grayson) thought they should meet the men and give them the opportunity of forming a joint committee, and he hoped beneficial results would accrue from it. He should therefore propose that a committee be appointed to meet the men, and that the proceedings be adjourned to await the result. The CHAIRMAN said it was due to the men to appoint a committee before the meeting broke up. They had pro- wised to do so Mr. GnAYSON said he would propose as the committee three new shipbuilders , _ and three who were engaged on rejo.irq ; -11Ingsrq W B Trynes.

Mr. GARRATT : Nor had Mr. Clarke a man. He begged to differ with Mr. Grayson. The men did not wish to come forward and meet them, but he did not blame them when parties were giving 9s. a day. He (Mr. Garrett) was giving 7s. up to Saturday night, but when he went down this morning, he found all the hands had gone from one ship, and the others were only partly at work. The CHAIRMAN : Those are the troubles we have been just speaking of. The meeting of masters and men is to take all those matters into consideration. Mr. GARRETT : What am I to do in the mean time ? Mr. CLARKE: Can't you get strangers ? apply to Mr. Crosbie. I can find you strangers: if you require 3PELROY : Up to Friday night I was paying 7s, a day. Since that time lam paying Bs.

Mr. DAWSON : Then you should pay your fine of £5. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WELnoY : I did not. I should like to see it col lected. Mr. CLAYTON would be sorry to adopt such a course after signing such a document as Mr. M'Elroy had done. Mr. M'ELROY said Mr. Clayton might have adopted a worse course. There was nothing like a man coming *4 tell what he was about to do. Mr. J. POPE seconded Mr. Grayson's motion. _ _ . After a brief conversation it was agreed, instead of putting Mr. Gray son's motion, that the committee should be balloted for. The following names were selected :—Messrs. Cato, Dawson, W. B. Jones, M. Keverigan, M'Elroy, and the Chairman. The SECRETARY reported that on making up the returns and adding Mr. W. B. Jones and another firm, he found the number of men required was 512. Mr. W. B. Jones said he had been in the United States and the Colonies, and the work there was done by piece work. If this committtee could agree to let the men form a book of prices, he felt quite confident there were plenty of men to do the work in the town. They should then know when the commence& a job what it was likely , to cost, for labour.

PREPARATIONS FOR THE RECEPTION OF JOHN MITCHEL, THE IRISH P AT RIOT. A meeting of the members of the Thomas Meagher Club was held last evening at Hermitage Hall—John Duffy in the chair—for the purpose of making preparations for the recep tion of John Mitchel, the Irish exile, who has escaped from .Australia, and is expected to arrive at this port in a few days. The following preamble and resolutions were adopted, expressive of the sentiments of the meeting : Whereas, the joyous intelligence hiving reached our shores that the brave, the gifted, and the daring John Mitchel of glorious memory, has rent asunder the chains which bound him to oppression, and is now being wafted to the free shores of this happy republic, on board an American ship, with the stars and stripes waving triumphantly over him—LTherefore Resolved, That, in common with every true Irishman, wo the members of the T. F. Meagher Club, hail this intelligence with the most rapturous joy and delight, and shall use all our efforts to convey to him in a befitting manner, at the earliest possible moment after his arrival, our united appreciation of his past services and exalted patriotism. Resolved, That in him we recognise the pioneer of. that band of noble martyrs who lost their liberty by the failure of the noble cause of '4B; and who, to test the sincerity of their intentions, willingly offered up their lives as a sacrifice on the altar of their country. Resolved, That the heroism and courage exhibited by him in defending the noble cause which he so warmly espoused, as well as the courage and fortitude which he exhibited (hiring the formal legal exhibition by which he was separated from all that was dear to him on earth, entitles him to the admiration and respect of every lover of liberty : Resolved, That we congratulate the friends of freedom tin oughout the vast republic, on the acquisition of, the gifted 111 itchel to the ranks of the band of noble freemen, which the failure of the cause of '4B has cast upon these shores. Resolved, That a committee of five be appointed forthwith, to take into consideration, and report before adjournment, the best means whereby the resolutions of the club may be carried into proper effect. The committee being appointed, returned into the room in about half an hour, and made the following report, which was unanimously adopted : Your committee are of opinion that the best way in which they can testify their opinion of John Mitchel, the Irish patriot of 1848, is by the T. F. Meagher Club presenting the said John Mitchel with an address of congratulation on his escape from the fangs of the English government, and also presenting him with a purse containing a sum, to be hereafter fixed; upon, as a mark of respect from the T. F. Meagher Club. And your committee are further of opinion .that a committee be appointed to confer with the other Irish societies in the city, for the purpose of entering into such arrangement, as altogether may deem fit for celebrating John Mitchei's arrival. A committee of eleven, to wait upon the other societies, was then appointed, after which the meeting adjourned until Fri day evening next, when their-organization will be comploted.— New York Herald, Oct. 24th.

I see, however, that you have settled which though apparently trivial, is still very important in its results in affecting our resolution, and that is the carting. Now whether I shall proceed in what I have to say in reference to this resolution, or defer it, is at this moment a matter of consideration with me. last meetin Mr. S3IITH : Better defer it till the primary matter is sottled with the men. All the rest are very minor consider and they had better be left over until the first matter ations is settled The CHAIRMAN : Yon can scarcely be aware of what I .out to say. I was about to say that I feel this asso ciation is in a peculiar position, but not a difficult one—. peeuliar from circumstances which seem to control us, and these circumstances emanate from parties from whom we had the least reason to expect them. We have found that the course which certain shipowners have pursued not only in paying additional wages, but in causing carts to be hired, militate very much against our resolutions—so much so as to almost nullify them. And these resolutions, though wholesome and beneficial in themselves, and I think chiefly got up and carried here for the benefit of the shipowners, and I might almost say them only—these very' resolutions cannot be carried out, not becal• se the men will not adhere to them, but because of the ditlimlties which the shipown ers themselves throw in our way. (Hear, hear.) Now, that constitutes what I implied by the peculiar position_ in which we were placed, You are well aware that for upwards of eighteen months there seems to have been such a deficiency—such a want of shipwrights in this town, that the demand for labour has caused wages to rise to such a height, that it would be a difficult task for me to endeavour to explain them, because they have been founded in different forms, and obtained tinder different pretences. (Hear, hear.) But it is known that they have risen to such a pitch, that it will astonish the world to learn that men have been paid 12s. and 13s. a day. was at A voice : Sixteen shillings last week. The CHAIRMAN : This association has struggled for a long time not to reduce the wages, but to endeavour to remove numerous complaints which the shipowners themselves have made in respect of these wages, and the detention of their ships by the seeming want of men. This association has struggled for a length of time, and a great deal of time has been expended here by you on their behalf ; and, in con sequence of all this, strangers were brought here, and may now work here without fear of being molested. But, not withstanding the report, that there are upwards of 500 Strangers in this port, it is a fact, that there still seems to be a deficiency of men.

The, operative weavers seem in excellent spirits to-day, the amount received by their committee yesterday being up wards of £2OOO, or about 1300 more than in any previous week. The quiet and orderly manner of the unemployed is the subject of general remark. Contrary to custom, not a drunken man was to be seen in our streets yesterday ; and this morning there was scarcely any business for the borough 'ench of migistrdtes. At nine o'clock this morning there was a large assemblage )f weavcrs in the Orchard—kr. Thomas RoDIs, of Stock ?ort, presiding. Notwithstanding the fall of a drizzling rain, the audience listened attentively to the various speakers for upwards of two hours. The CHAIRMAN rejoiced to inform them that the subscrip ions this week received on their behalf exhibited a very Large increase. He was proud to state that for those con nected with the weaving department they had received upwards of £2OOO. (Cheers.) The news was encouraging, and they had nothing to fear, notwithstanding the proposi tion issued by the masters of Preston on the 4th instant—a proposition disgraceful to themselves, and disgraceful to the class to which they belonged. All that was required on the part of the operatives was firmness. Mr. GRIMSHA.W of Great Harwood, after assuring his hearers that they should be provided for all winter and all next summer, rather than they should be defeated by the proud " shopyocracy " of Preston, moved the following resolution : " The operatives of Preston, in public meeting assembled, having read the decision of the employers on the 4th instant, not to open their works only on condition that the wages of the operatives be reduced the 10 per cent,, granted to them in August last, hereby solemnly declare their unalterable resolve not to accept such terms, but to maintain inviolate their just demand— namely, an unconditional ten per cent." That was the answer he wished the operatives to give to that miserable placard now posted upon the , walls of th e town. (Cheers). They had every confidence in being able to weather the winter, for sooner than they should be defeated their fellow operatives in other towns had promised to sect LUG ontiro preeeedv of one loom each, which would amour to £4,000 or £5,000 a week. (Loud cheers.) Mr. GEORGE COWELL seconded the resolution that as he was coming to the meeting, one of the middy, class shopocracy accosted him, and stated that they (the operatives) were robbing the whole of the shopkeepers of Preston. He (Mr. Cowell) had no doubt the shopkeepers of Preston were suffering, and suffering -very materially ; but he scrupled not to say that whatever might be the amount of suffering, of privation, and of poverty existing in the town, the operatives' committee were not responsible for it, but the parties who had closed their mills against an unoffend nig people. (Hear, hear). Although the manufacturers' of Preston were scampering about the country in order to curtail the subscriptions flowing into this town, he was happy to say that those subscriptions were weekly increasing. (Cheers.) He might also inform them that, according to a statement of a delegate, one of the principal millowners in Blackburn had given sixpence a looin to every weaver who came to the help of the factory workers of Preston. (Loud cheers.) He had no doubt the subscriptions would continue to rise; and, if it had not been for the manufacturers getting Bacup, Burnley, Padihare, Newchurch, and the surround ing districts to close their mills, the committee would this week have had £3,000. But, never mind that : they should still go on increasing until they had £3,000 for the weavers alone. New channels were daily opening up; every day's post brought fresh overtures of sympathy and support; as they might depend upon it, victory would be theirs. The resolution was then submitted to the meeting, a carried amid enthusiastic acclamations Mrs MARGARET FLuToanit was the succeeding speaker. She said that this was a question of importance, not only t the factory operatives, but to the middle class ; because when labor was not properly remunerated, shop-keepers felt the consequence in diminished receipts. It was also a question deeply interesting to females ; because at present the natural order of things were reversed, and women had to go out to work whilst men remained at home, made beds, washed clothes, &c. (Laughter and cheers).. Under these circumstances, it behoved her sex to bestir themselves. If capital had its right, labor had its right. If capital claimed the right to keep its wife at home, and to have half-a-dozen servants to wait upon her, surely, the working man had a fight to keep his wife at home too. (Cheers.) She regarded the ten per cent as only a stepping stone to justice. They must have a fair day's wages for a fair day's work. What • did she mean by that ? why, that which would afford a man the means of maintaining himself and family iu comfort; of keeping his wife at home to attend to household duties, and of educating his children so as to make them an ornament to society instead of a nuisance. (Cheers.) That was What they wanted, and if they let the ten per cent question drop before they achieved that desideratum,they would not dotheir duty. It was a disgrace to an Englishman to allow his wife to go out to work. Let the women look after their rights. It was high time they looked to themselves. We have let the men manage our affairs long enough (said she), and a pretty To the young women present I would say, whenever a young man pays his addresses to you, and wishes to make you his wife, ask if he is able to maintain you. If he says he is not, tell him to go about his business, for you never intend, when married, to go out to work. (Cheers.) The Amazon con cluded by moving the subjoined resolution : "Agreed at this meeting that the married portion of the females of this town do not intend to go to work any more, until their husbands are fully and fairly remunerated for their labour." Mrs. ANN FLETCHER seconded the resolution. I She thought it was high time the women stayed at home. They had been slaves long enough. It was time that men should earn sufficient by their labour to enable them to keep their wives and families at home. How many infants had been brought to an untimely death by the present system of fac tory labour ? (Hear, hear.) She hoped and trusted ;that every woman then present would follow the example of her self and sister (the preceding speaker). The day is come (she added) when we are determined to do nothing until every man is employed ; and then, if there is anything left for the women, we'll do a little, but we'll not do much. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN stated that when the 10 per cent. question was settled, there would be such an agitation raised on be half of the married women now working in factories, as would astonish the millocracy of this country. (Cheers.) The females' resolution having been cordially adopted, addresses were delivered by Mr. Watson and Mr. Brown, after which the meeting separated. DEATH OF MR. CECIL LAWLESS, M. P.—We re gret to have to announce the death, after a very brief attack, brought on, we understand,. by extreme nervous excitement, of this gentleman, who, as our readers know, was second son of the late Lord Cloncurry, and member for the Borough of Clonmel.

Of the vast population of fully 60,000,000, only about 45,000,000 are members of the re gular Church; 350,000 are dissenters or heretics to that Church itself; 3,500,000 Roman Catholics are found through out the wide domains of the Czar ; and fully 250,000 Ar menians. The Protestants of the Augsburg Confession of Faith amount to 2,000,000 ; those of the Reformed Church to 54,000. There are 10,000, Moravians, while no less than 2,500,00.0 belong to the Mahometan creed. The Jews are 600,000 in number, and the followers of that mysterious po tentate, the Grand Lama of Thibet, amount to no less than half that amount. But there are creeds still more extraordi nary throughout the enormous tract of 'territory which constitutes the Russian Empire; 170,000 are open idola ters, and no less than 600,000 are addicted to the disgust ing practice of:Fetichism, worshipping bats, cows, and every uncouth specimen of brute, as representative of the divinity of Heaven.—Parker's National Miscellany• AN ACTION AGAINST UNDERWRITERS.—In' the Court of Queen's Bench, on Saturday, Mr. Watson, , Q.C. moved for a new trial in the case of Chriitie v. Stroth, which was tried at the last London sittings before the Lord Chief Justice, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff—damages £1,186. Mr. Watson moved, on the ground that it was a perverse verdict. The action was brought by the plaintiffs against the undervriters of a vessel called the Harriet, the owners of which had contracted to convey a cargo of haricot beans for; them from ,Liverpool to London. The vessel . was loaded in the dock at Liverpool, and, after being loaded there; a gale of wind blew on the night of the 4th June, !1847, while the vessel was in the dock, and she sank in the dock with her cargo. Before loading she was a perfectly tight, good vessel, but the gale had forced other vessels in the dock against her, and had so bumped and squeezed her, that a plank under her counter gave way, and she sank. The action was brought for the damaeg done to the cargo by the water, and for the delay Which ensued in drying the cargo, whereby the market was lost. The defendant pleaded that the damage was done by the perils of the sea, and not because of utistawor thiness, which was traversed. The plank which had given way was found perfectly sound, but had been squeezed out of its place; ss. repaired the damage, and the vessel had been perfectly sound ever since; The learned counsel contended that the ship was quite sea worthy, and had sunk because of the violence,of the gale.—The COURT thought that the jury had come to a sight conclusion; .that a vessel which started a! plank in dock was not a seaworthy vessel, as she ought to be equal to all the strain to which, with other ships, she might be subjected to there.— The learned counsel then contended that the cargo and freight were only worth together 6001., and under the 53rd George 111., chap. 159, sec. 1, the plaintiff could not recover more than the value of the cargo and freight ; that the damages were made up by the loss of the market by reason of the detention of the cargo.—The CoURT said, the rule might go to reduce damages. On the other point there was no evidence on both sides, and it was for the jury to determine it.—Rule nisi accordingly. THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. THE REV. DR. MWEILE, AND THE REV. IV. J, CONEYBEA RE. The Rev. Dr. M'Neile has addressed a letter (through the Times) to the ReV. W. J. Coneybeare, formerly the Principal of the Liverpool Collegiate Institution. Mr. Coneybeare is said to be the author of the article on " Church Parties," which appears in the current number of the Edinburgh Review, and- it is certain statements in the article in question which have - called forth the Rev. Dr. M'Neile's letter, which is as follows : Albury-house, Liverpool, Nov. 4. Dear Sir,—Since the appearance of the last number of ;he Edinbur;h Review, rumour has ascribed to your pen the article on " Church Parties" which it contains. I was un willing to believe it possible that you could have written ?arts of it; and I now charitably hope that, before you wrote pp. 292-393, with their foot note, you had forgotten what is written at p. 284. Our mutual friend Mr. Howson - has informed me, and without, as he says, any breach of confidence, that you are the author of the article. May I, then, request you to have the kindness to let me know on what evidence you charge me—for, in your hands, it is a charge, and a grave one—with being a member, a leader, the ablest leader, of what you are pleased to call the Recordite party in the church ? On the good taste of designating your brethren, not by my theological or; ecclesiastical peculiarities, real or sup ?osed, but by a nickname derived from a newspaper, I make no comment; De gustibus, &c. With the justice or injus tice of the description you give of the party I have no per sonal concern—that is your affair ; but since you have in troduced me, my name, as the leader of a party of which you have given such a description, I think I may most reason ably expect that as a gentleman you will not refuse to give your proofs. Of the party in question you say (page 284), " Its dis tinctive doctrines are derived from those of the Evangelical school, by pushing each of those to extravagant cense quen,ces. Thus, from justification by faith, the Recordite infers the worthlessness of morality." Here I pause. I might, indeed, select any of the follow ing clauses for comment, but this one shall suffice. When you say " the Recordite infers," I presume you mean that he gives expression to his inference, otherwise you could riot become cognizant of it ; he speaks, or prints, or both, i. e., he teaches, as au inference, the , worthlessness of morality. It is not that his accuser draws such an inference from some of his statements. This would be intelligible. The great Apostle felt this (see Rom. iii. 8). But your charge is that the Recordite himself draws the inference. You say "the Recordite infers," and thus you open your description of a party in the church, with the deliberate statement that they teach the worthlessness of morality. An attempt to screen yourself from this, by pleading that to infer does not mean to teach, would be too obviously a special pleading. If your words do not mean this they mean nothing. There may be some persons who so teach. There have unhappily been Antinomians in all ages. Some persons whom you tall Recordites may be guilty of this evil, though I imagme you could find nothing of the kind in the Record itself. Indeed, it seems pretty plain that, if you could have cited evidence to sustain this clause in your indibt meat you would have done so. But, as I have said, this is not my concern. On some very important subjects I entirely differ from the Record, while, on others, I think it has done good and faithful service. But my inquiry is, on what evi dence you have felt yourself at liberty to drag me before the public as the leader of a party, who, as you allege, teach,' or infer, the worthlessness of morality? If you can cite any passage from any of my books, or sermons, or speeches, justly exposing me to such an accusation, I shall feel obliged y your doing so, and I shall take care to have the mischief expunged from the next edition, with a penitent ackndw ledgement of the past evil, however undesigned. But if you can find no such passage, and if my publications abound; as they do, with passages directly the reverse, then, I think, I have a right to expect that you will acknowledge your fault in bringing against a brother clergyman—an acquaintance of many years' standing, for whom you have always pro fessed to entertain sentiments of Christian kindness and who has always entertained the same towards you—an accusation which you are utterly unable to sustain. I have a right to expect, further, that in all fairness and uprightness, and equity, you will make your confession as public ar your fanit; i. e., that _ you will have it inserted in the pages of the • Edinburgh Rev i ew. I cannot doubt your willingness to do this act of justice, because I cannot as yet hold you guilty - of more than, an inadvertence, though of a very grave characte'r. The temptation was too great to be resisted. Your asso ciations lingered around Liverpool, and the great influence which you say (page 293, note) I have acquired by my elo quence over the second town, in the kingdom, made me an object too prominent to escape, when shafts were hurled at random against " the Evangelicals." But when, by way of compensation for the assault you made upon me, you acknowledge (ibid.) that you "believe me to be a thoroughly sincere and honest man, and to have done much good," you should surely have borne in mind, that as I am an able leader (in your opinion) of a party who i/V Jut,. Clay 111ln. G oiu core I am, and the more eloquent I am, and the more influ ence I have thereby acquired, instead of doing much good, the more intolerably mischievous I must be. Inconsistency with himself is the proverbial characteristic of a witness from whom the accused has nothing to fear, and of whom an intelligent jury soon learn to make a suitable estimate. I am yours faithfully, UGH IifNEI LE. COUNTY COURT.-YESTERDAY The November sittings of this Court opened at ten o'clock on yesterday, before JOSEPH POLLoCK, Esq. HAGAN v RICHARDSON.—His Honor delivered judgment In this case which stood over from the last sittings. lie said— In this case I think the plaintiff should be non.suited. The facts of the-case are, that the plaintiff was certainly injured by the negligence of a party.driving a cart. The defendant in the action is a contractor, and not being able herself to perform the contract, she sub-let to another person, a cartowncr, who supplied the horses, only borrowing the cart from her. Both parties agree as to the borrowing and lending. I think the person who borrowed the cart, and supplied the horses and the driver, is the party liable. The master of the driver is clearly liable for the consequences. The plaintiff must therefiire be non-suited.- Several commitment summonses of no public importance were then disposed of, after which his Honor took up insolvent RICHARD MADDOCK.—A final order was granted. JOHN HALL WORTH.—Final order granted. JOHN PUFHE.—FinaI order granted. ISABELLA WALLACE.-1 n this case the insolvent passed the first examination. JOHN M`GAFFAN.—Mr. Aspinall appeared for the insolvent, who, it appeared had entered into partnership in the corn business with a person named Jones, and being ignorant of the business left the entire management of it to his partner, not even inquiring how his affairs stood. Becoming insolvent, an assignment was made of the business to, a person named. Griffith, a creditor, represented by Mr. Evans, but no notice of the dissolution of partnership or the assignment was pubiished. Mr. Hime appeared for the first creditor, Mr. Johnson. Court : This insolvent did not take the trouble of inquiring, in the first instance, what his debts were, and in the next place, he executed an assignment to one particniar creditor. I do not think the argument produced, that he is an illiterate person, has anything to do with the matter. He entered into the business with his eyes open, and after three years elapses, and he pays off, I suppose; the several creditors named in the list, which I have before me, several small creditors; he then enters into an assignment in 1850, of the result of which he knows nothing about, which he mover even asked Mr .Griffith, nor did he ask whether Mr. Johnson had ever received a penny, or know in what state things were under the assign ment. I think all the creditors should have. had. before he came into this Uourt, full information into the state of the affairs, because he had previously chosen another remedy. I agree that it is not necessarily incumbent upon him to go about and ask the creditors to come in and execute an assignment, but he was bound to enquire what was the result of the remedy, which he had selected for himself. He has not taken that trouble, he has neglected his other creditors, and I am bound to say, 1 think it would be contrary to public policy and law, to allow-this man to hand over the property of all his creditors, give and receive no information, make no enquiry how things had turned out, and then come , and:ask the protection of this Court. .He must.take the consequences of selecting his own remedy. I shall not grant him the protection he seeks. JoRN TURNER.—ML Himo appeared for insolvent ; Simon and Mr. Anderson for creditors. , Adjourned to next Court. MARTHA BINGHAM.-31r. Blackhurst appeared for the insolvent, and. Mr. Aspinall for creditors, Petition dis Missed.

The latest. news from Cork announce the entire appearance of the west of the city to be one of devastation Along the roads and-the, streets the ground resembles a sea strand, and large holes have been torn up here and there, which remain filled with water. The parlours and kitchens -of the houSes were inundated, and the adjacent fields till remain flooded to the depth of seven or eight feet... Trees lie along, torn up by the roots, and large walls overthrown, and the masonry scattered abCiut. The houses at the corner of iho Carrig rohane road were submerged to such a degree that the inhabitants had to forsake them, and nar- rowly escaped destruction in doing so. Several mills in the vicinity have been obliged to cease working, and the road to. Ballincollig is altogether tupassible. The gaol bridge is also unfit for use, .nd the only wonder is that it was not totally de _ iolished. At Mardyke, a twenty ton barge was eposited in one of the gardens by the flood. When the flood was at its height, Mr. Joyce, the governor of the county gaol, came to Mr. C-unning ham, steward of the Queen's College, and begged of him to get out his boat, in order to rescue a family consisting of a lady and several children whQ were in extreme peril in one of the houses on Western Terrace. The boat was accordingly pro cured, not without considerable difficulty. It was found necessary to attach ropes to it, towed by three turnkeys of the gaol, named Stephensoti, Burns, and Flynn. In dragging the boat to the house in which the family - mreie, the three men were in the water up to their arm pits. The lady was then lifted on men's shoulders into the boat, and iconveyed to the Queen's College; and the children were conveyed in the arms of the turn keys to the boat, and thence to the same building. Mrs. Quill, and Mrs. Wilson were also carried . ;to the College. A great number of children who had been overtaken by the flood, were compelled to clamber on the top of the wall bounding the Western road, from which position they called loudly for assistance. They were lifted into the boat and placed safely in the. College, not, hOw ever, without several upsets, from one of which a Child had a narrow escape of being drowned. There were also two cows in a yard at the rear of Western Terrace, which were also placed in the boat, abd pushed into the windo3v into the parlour of one of the houses on the terrace, and thence upstairs, in which they remained until the waters had sub sided. South Gate Bridge, and the Lee Bridge, are also so injured as to be considered unsafe. : . At Fair Hill, three men threshing in a barn were -swept away, and have not been since heard ;of. Several persons are missing, who, it is supposed, perished at the accident on Patrick's Bridge. A gentleman who was standing near Parliament bridge on Thursday, states he saw a raft floating down the stream, on which were five persons, tlvo men and three women. They have not, however, been since heard of. During the extreme height of the floods a woman was at the slip at Gillabbey washing some clothes, near the Bishop's Palace: She states that she saw two females carried down along the flood, and they were followed shortly afterwards by several articles of house furniture. . At Mallow the bodies of three persons lost in the flood have been discovered. Inquests were held on. Thursday, and a verdict returned of "accidental death from the flood." A fourth person is still missing. At Kanturk, two similar inquests were held. Lives are also supposed to be lost in Mill street, and Macroon, and on the waters subsiding, an immense amount of dead cattle, sheep, a n d horses were discovered. The Killarney junction railway has suffei-ed damage to the value of several thousand pounds. Willerstown, County of Waterford, was flooded by the Blackwater, and bridges, cattle, corn, and hay destroyed. The same river flooded Lismore in a similar manner, carrying away five arches of 'the bridge In the overflow of the Shannon tributaries, County of Limerick, six men returning from the fairs of Castle - Island, Were drowned. Two bridges were carried away, and a great amount of family :Lilal houbu ploporty dtroy ed. Clonmel and Trean have suffered from the floods. The body of the coach driver,who was lost at the same time as Mr. Naylor, has not yet been dis covered. THE VACANT BISHOPRIC.—The Daily Express states that the Bishop of Limerick has declined translation, to Derry,—aud assigns the appoint ment to the Rev. Henry Griffin, rector of Clonfar cle, and formerly fellow of Trinity College.• THE LATE RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT STRAFFAPT.— Gars,aud O'Hara, committed by the coroner, ax'e to be admitted to bail. DEATH OF LADY LANGFORD.—Au inquest was held on this lady's body on Saturday, at which the fol lowing facts transpired :—About half-past twelve o'clock on the day mentioned, Lady Longford, who, it appears, had been recently - staying on a visit at Ardgillan Castle, the residence of Colonel Taylor, M.V., proceeded to the sea shore, accompanied by a female attendant, for the purpose of bathing, at a place connected with the demesne by a bridge near the railway. The sea at the time, as is usual at this period of the year, was high and rough, and the lady, having unfortunately advanced rather confidently into the waves, was carried off into deep water, and before effective assistance could be pro cured to extricate her from her peril, was over whelmed by the violence of the flood, and fell a victim to her temerity. The servant who witnessed the tel . :Able disaster made two brave but fruitless efforts' to rescue her, and. no succour being at hand at the moment, the unhappy lady perished be fore her eyes. Intelligence of the calamity was soon communicated at the Castle, where it excited the ut most consternation and and affliction, and measures immediately adopted to recover the remains of the deceased, which after some time proved successful, and the body was conveyed - to the Castle. The lamented lady, whose untimely death we have re corded with deep regret, was eldest daughter of the late Colonel Conolly, M.P. for the' county Donegal, and was beloved by all classes for her virtues. In the district where her ladyship re sided, at Summerhill, county_Meath, her loss will be severely and sorrowfully felt, especially by the poor, to whom she had been much endeared by the benevolent zeal with which she de - Voted her- • self to the noble purl - .•. t of alleviating their wants and providing for th.cir comforts. Lord Langford has been a constant resident on his property since his marriage in 1840, and to the considerate care and attention of the deceased to the condition of their tenantry, aiding and stimulating his lord ship's efforts for their improvement, may be, in a great measure, attributed the contentment and comparative prosperity which they, enjoy. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of " accidental death from . droWning." Wittex OF- A VESSEL NEAR WICKLOW HEAD.- 7 —WC regret to be obliged to state, that the brigantine Fire Ely, Kirkness master, registered at Yarmouth, and bound from Liverpool to Hayti with a general cargo, was wrecked near Wicklow Head, on Tues day night last. From information- , we have. re ceived, it appears that on Wednesday morning the wreck of the ill-fated vessel was observed it: about a mile distant • from the shore, opposite BlaCkcastle, near Wicklow Head, and that Mr. Walsh, the agent of Messrs. Lloyd, of. London, having heard - of the catastrophe, he at once pro ceeded from Dublin to' Wicklow, and' ascertained that a writing-case, the property of the master of the above vessel, had been found on shore by; some fishermen. It contained the name of the master and that of the ship, and also a cargo-book in which were entered several numbers corresponding 'with those upon some bales of cotton which -had been Washed on shore. When the tugboat approached the wreck, it was discovered that alinost the .entire body was ,destroyed, and that nothing remained with the exception of the bare sides and a Portion of the masts and sails. The wreck was then towed into Wicklow Harbour, where it now lies. .No information has been yet ;received respecting the fate of the captain or the crew. The Right Hon. Benjamin and Mrs. Disraeli are receiving a few select friends at Hughendon Manor House, near Wycombe, Bucks.
