The following Guardians were present : Mr. Harrison, in the chair; MeSirs. Allpas, Hayes, Roskell, "Lunt, Mac Gee, Smith, G. Harrison, Carter, Craig, • Abrahams, Wensley, Roberts, Shaw, ,Teffey, Tattersall, and the Rev. W. Bad nall. FINANCE Tho following were the cheques given for the relief of the poor, &c. for the current week :—Mr. Allen, £65; Mr. Alney, £24; Mr. Potts, £9l ; Mr. Lithgo, £lB ; quarter of a year's rent for relief office, £6 ss. ; Sundries, £6 ss. £4 ls. 3d., £7 Bs. 6 d.; Relief Tickets £lO3 14a. 6d.; Total £l9 9s. 3d. REFRACTORY PAUPERS. The Master of the House read a list of about fifteen paupers, whose conduct in the house had been such that he could scarcely keep them under control. Several of these f3male paupers had been adniitted, to the house about fourteen days since., at which time, several of the guardians expressed an objection, but a majority were for their admission, and they were consequently taken into the house.. Mr. ALLrAss hoped the guardians would take some different steps with regard to these girls, and if it was decided that they should be excluded from the house, he did trust they would never again be admitted. Mr. RosiaLL considered the present, a most lamentable case—it was quite clear that they contaminated the more respectable paupers in the ward in which they were con fined, by their grossly immoral conduct and language — he should suggest that they be ejected from the house, and allowed a small amount of relief, until they were enabled to obtain situations. In answer to the chairman, the master of the house said he did not know what to do with the girls, but if he had a separate ward for them, he thought he might perhaps be enabled to work a reformation. At present he had more paupers in the ward than he ought to have by thirty. It was moved that they should be ejected from the house, and have 2s. 6d. per week allowed them. The Rev. Mr. BADNALL differed from that opinion. As the girls had been so misbehaved, and their conduct was so bad, he considered they ought to be sent before the magis trates and punished. The CHAIRMAN suggested that a refractory ward should be erected. 'Some time- since a plan and specifications for two such wards had been prepared. Several guardians expressed a desire to have the girls punished, upon which, The master of the house said he had taken the girls before the magistrates, and in some cases they had refused to punish them, and one of the girls who had been pun ished several times, invariably came out of prison, worse than when she went in, and from what they heard at Kirkdale made them worse, for they had, when he had remonstrated with them, requested to be taken before the magistrates again. After a brief conversation, it was moved and seconded, and unanimously carried, that two refractory or. probationary wards should be erected, and instructions were given for the production of the plans and specifications formerly proposed. The refractory . girls were called in and admonished by chairman for their misconduct, which appeared to take but little effect, and the master of the house received instruc tions to keep them as far as possible apart from the other paupers, and to make them work. COMPENSATION. Two men, one of whose names was John Owen, appeared before the board to claim compensation for loss of time. It appeared that the men had been taken before the magistrates by the master of the house, on a charge of introducing ardent spirits there ; but from the absence of witnesses, the evidence was not sufficiently conclusive to justify the magis trates in committing them, they were consequently discharged, and they claimed compensation for loss of time. The CHAIRIVIAN, after expressing his surprise, having heard the case before the magistrates, that the men should have had the impudence to make a claim, said the guardians were unanimous that the application could not be entertained. TEE CONTRACTOR ' S INSTALMENT A letter was read from the contractor for rebuilding the Board Room, and expressing his surprise that when on the 15th of October he had requested the payment of £5OO, for work done, as certified by the surveyor, he had only received a eheque for £250, and requesting payment of the remainder. Mr. LUNT requested to know of the clerk if they had any funds. he CLERK : We have not. Mr. MACGEE wished to know the amount of the contract. The CLERK replied, altogether it would be £l6OO or £l6OO. Mr. HAYES said he would move that the £250 be imme diately paid to the contractor. It is impossible for the guardians to expect the work to be done if they did not pay the money. By paying the £250 instead of the £5OO, they had broken the contract, and would thus be prevented from obtaining any amount from the contractor provided ho did not fulfil the contract. The CLERK said any complaint came with bad grace from the contractor, who had repeatedly been requested to get on with the buildings, which, by the contract, had a right to have have completed by the Ist of September. Mr. LUNY seconded the payment of tho X 250. At a subsequent period of the meeting the contractor attended, and after making several excuses for not having completed the works, was requested to state when he thought they would be finished. To this he apparently could give nc decisive answer, but he thought in the course of the present month. . Mr. SHAW, requested to know, from the contractor, when the back premises would be finished, from the non-completion of which the discipline of the house could not be earned on, as they, had heard from the marauding which took place every night. Mr. ALLrAss said if the works were not proceeded with, he should move the following week, that the guardians complete the work themselves. The CHAIRMAN informed thQ contractor, that unless the works were proceeded with, the guardians would sue for penalties under the contract. The £250 was ordered to . be paid. A SOLICITOR'S BILL. The CLERK read an account from Mr. Holden, requesting payment of £ll 9s. Bd., for drawing out a bond, specifica tions, &c. Mr. ALrAss requested to know from whom Mr. Holden had received instructions. Mr. M'GEB considered it was the duty of the surveyor to prepare all such documents. It was elicited that the order had been given by the clerk, and the amount was ordered to be paid, Mr. ALPASS protesting against any such order being given in future, unless from the Board, as he was very jealous of any authority—what little they did possess, being taken away from them. MISCELLANEOUS A letter was read from the poor-law commissioners, in answer to one sent from that board, relative to the payment of a bill, for work done some years since. The commis sioners could see no objection to the payment of this bill, provided the guardians were satisfied that the bill had not been paid. The amount was ordered to be paid. Another letter was read from the commissioners, with regard to Mr. Palgrove's demand, which could not be paid by the board, unless Mr. Palgrove, as Mr. Deane's solicitor, or the sister of the latter gentleman, were in a position to give a legal discharge for the payment of the salary due to him. • . . A circular from the same commissioners recommended that the vaccination districts might be so constructed or re-arranged,' that there might be a sufficient number of convenient places. The circular was referred to the hospital committee, as was also a letter from Mr. Johnson, containing several suggestions relative to his district. In consequence of some breaches of discipline in the house, on the part of some of the paupers of both sexes, it was. ordered that twelve dozen new locks should be provided for the doors, as a substitute for those now in use, the paupers being able to open them. Several other matters of minor importance having been arranged, the board broke up. FIRE LAST NIGHT.—Last night shortly before 12 o'clock, a fire broke out in the shop of Miss Levi, Milliner, London-road, near to Commutation-row. The fire com menced in the shop, and its ravages were not arrested until a considerable portion of the premises had been gutted. Great praise is due to Mr. Henriff and the Liverpool Fire Brigade, also to the West of England, for the assistance rendered: the damage done is very considerable. Two per sons were asleep on the premises, but timely notice having been given, they were easily rescued. THE WIGAN RIOTS AND THE LOCAL AUTHORI TIES.—The Globe of last night, in an article on the Wigan riots, and condemnatory of the police arrangements there, says :—The question for the day has ceased to be one of ten per cent., or one between master and men ; and it has be come entirely a matter of dispute between peace-breakers and those who are charged with maintaining the order of society. Any inefficiency in the means to preserve the peace now would not only stimulate the audacity of the Wigan rioters by impunity, but would suggest disturbances elsewhere ; it would then be necessary to invoke a much larger force for the purpose of restoring :order, with all the consequences that follow upon an extensive intervention of military power. Amongst these consequences would neces sarily be the risk of considerable increase to the blood that has has already been shed. The local authorities at Wigan are convicted by the recent events of not having been suffi ciently watchful in taking steps to preserve order. They must have known, or at least they ought to have watched, the premonitory signs of disturbance ; and they ought not only to have been prepared with a more efficient force for preserving the peace, but they ought also to have forwarned those upon whose aid they relied. The delay in despatching . the troops from Wigan, for which censure is hinted against the military commanders, may perhaps be traced to that neglect of notice. At all events the Wigan authorities suffered their vigilance to lag behind the occa sion.• If we advert to that fact, however, it is not for the sake of a fruitless censure, but for the purpose of using the example to stimulate the local authorities in other parts of the same district. We must have no more surmises, no more discoveries that assistance is wanted without the oeca sioJacing expected, THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. RD: TO WA - CO UNCHI, SPECIAL MEETING.—YESTERDAY. Yesterday, at Tielve o'clOck at noon; a special meeting of the Salford Town Council was held in the council ch amber, _ . town-hall, Salft There was a v€ _ councillors, this being the first nieeting of the council since the .extension of the municipal borough, which now includes the townships of Salford, Broughton, and Pendleton. The meeting of to-day .was held under a special provision of the Amalgamation Act, for the purpose of electing eight aldermen, -namely ; four for the wards in the township of Pendleton, and four for the wards in the township of Broughton. His worship, the MAYOR, (Frank Ashton, Esq.,) occupied the chair. The TOWN CLERK explained, that if the gentlemen who had been elected for the representation of Broughton had agreed unanimously upon a list of gentlemen to be proposed as aldermen, he believed the Salford councillors would vote for that list ; and that the same course of conduct would be pursued in respect of the election of aldermen for Pendleton, in the event of the gentlemen representing that township, having unanimously agreed upon a list. If, however, there should be a difference of opinion as to either list, then, probably, the Salford councillors would take a part in the election of aldermen for Broughton and Pendleton. Pro bably, the same mode of procedure would be adopted on Wednesday next, when the Salford councillors would have to elect some aldermen. If, on that occasion they should present, for'the adoption of the council, a list of gentlemen to fill the office of aldermen, which they had unanimously agreed upon, then, probably, the gentlemen from Broughton and Pendleton would not interfere with the election. (Hear, hear.) The Town Clerk then read a document which was handed to him by the Mayor. It was a protest, signed by Messrs. Drinkwater, Mellor, and Leigh, against the election for St. Stephen's ward, Salford, 'of Mr. Jonathan Thompson, pawnbroker, on the ground that, at the time of his election, he was a ward assessor. He (the town clerk) apprehended that, the protest having been read in the presence of Mr. Thompson, it was for that gentleman to decide, whether he would make the usual declaration on accepting the office of councillor, and then it would be within the province of any burgess, to take steps for the purpose of ascertaining whether Mr. Thompson had a legal right to take a seat in the council under these circumstances. That was not the pro vince of the council, .but of the Court of Queen's Bench, and he did not think it would be proper on his part, as town clerk, to give any opinion of his own, as to what would be the probable decision of the court, supposing it was applied to. Mr. Councillor THOMPSON said, he asked the town-clerk, on taking the office of ward treasurer, whether that would prevent him from taking the office of councillor for one of the wards in Salford, and he certainly said it would not. The TOWN-CLERU said that . was his individual opinion ; certainly he gave it to Mr. Thompson as a friend, but not as a legal adviser. Mr. Thompson then made the usual declaration. Mr. Alderman WORML asked whether the Broughton gentlemen had agreed upon a list of gentlemen for the office of aldermen ? . _ This question was answered in the affirmative Mr. Councillor CAwLEY begged to announce the names of the gentlenien proposed as aldermen, as they had been unani mously decided upon by the councillors for Broughton. And he might be allowed to say, that the Broughton coun cillors were proud in proposing, as one of their aldermen, no ether a person than the worthy Mayor ,who presided over tiem. (Applause.) The gentlemen they proposed were the fdlowing :—Mr. Frank Ashton, merchant, Prestwich ; Mr. John Haden, corn merchant, Broughton ; Mr. Richard Radford, solicitor; Broughton ; Mr. William Rearson, manufacturer, - BrOughton. Mr. CoUncillor WESTON stated, that the following gentle men had been unanimously agreed upon by tlie Pendleton councillors, as fit and proper persons to be elected aldermen for that township : —Mr. George Smith, solicitor, Pendleton; Mr. Wiliam Wanklyn, silk manufacturer, Pendleton ; Mr. Stephei Heelis, solicitor, Pendleton ; Mr. William Ross, gentleman, Pendleton. mayThoenNotAinftgerpathpeeryshwaedrebethenenexfialld u nun e ed p b an y d th h e and tow ec i i i-c t l o er t k h , e The MkTOR : I declare the above named gentlemen to be duly elected to fill the office of aldermen for the borough of Salford. ',Applause.) • The Tovic CLERK said, he was directed by the mayor to take that opportunity of informing the councillors present, of the course which it was proposed should be taken in order to get the council perfect by the 9th of November. It was proposed first, that if the councillors of Broughton and Pen dleton should elect members of the council as aldermen, their places should be filled up by elections to be held on the Bth of November, so that the council might be complete on the 9th. The election of aldermen having fallen upon two members of the council for Broughton, it would be re quisite to have another election for Broughton on the Sth of November, for the purpose of electing two gentlemen to re place them as members of the Town Council. The election of the mayor as alderman for Broughton, would cause a vacancy in the representation of St. Stephen's ward, which ffould be filled up on the Bth of November. Then both as regards*Broughton and Pendleton, it would be re that some of the councillors, who had been returned )y au equality of votes, should have a meeting to decide Vhich of the councillors should first go out by rotat.on. And le would suggest that the councilors of Broughton and lendleton should meet together as soon as they conveniently mid, in their respective board-rooms to decide these points. Aid then it was desirable that the Broughton and Pendle tot councillors should come to some resolution as to the conmittees they would wish to have appointed to manage their respective districts, and as to the gentlemen they would wisi to have nominated on those committees. Then, again, it would be necessary that they should have a preliminary meeting of the whole council for the purpose of fixing upon some gentlemen who would be willing to uniertake the onerous duties of Mayor, so that some gen tlemai might be agreed upon who, on the 9th of November, shoulc be elected unanimously. He suggested that that meeting should be held on Friday morning, at 9 o'clock. After tie election of Mayor, the Salford councillors would have to elect aldermen in room of those who retired by rota tion. And if the Salford gentlemen agreed upon gentlemen to be ele;ted as aldermen unanimously, probably the coun cillors of Broughton and Pendleton would not interfere with the election, in the same way as the members for Salford had that Oay declined to interfere with the election of alder men for Broughton and Pendleton. (Hear, hear.) Mr. LoraiousE was of opinion that it would be desirable to have distiict committees appointed as quickly as possible. The Tow, CLERK said he should be glad to attend any meetings the Broughton and Pendleton gentlemen might appoint, at which they might require his presence, with the view of giving them all the assistance in his power. (Hear, hear.) The aldermenelected were then duly qualified, and assigned to the several wkxds, as follows : BnovonToN—St. John's Ward Messrs. Ashton and Sl a den, on the Motion of Mr. Lofthouse, seconded by Mr. Bradley, SersalWard—Messrs. Pearson and Radford, on the motion of Mr:Cawley, seconded by Mr. Myers. PENDLETON-St. Thomas's Ward—Messrs. Smith and Warklyn, on the notion of Mr. Weston, seconded by Mr. Barrow. Seedley 'Ward—Messrs. Heelis and Ross, on the motion of Mr. Weston, seconded by Mr. Barrow. It was then arranged that a meeting of the Town Council should be held on Friday morning next, at nine o'clock. The MANOR congratulated the members of the council and congratulated himself on the present, their first, harmonious meeting. (hear, hear.) And he hoped that they would con tinue to act as a corporation in a united manner, and for the benefit of all parties, (Applause.) The meeting then broke up. A GLASS COLIIMN.—The popularity of glass as a milding material—arising out of Sir Joseph Paxton's Crys tal Palace and Conservatories—will cause glass to be employed ins thousand ways, to which no one dreamt it was applicable a few years ago. The Prussians have just resolved to make it sere for public monuments. A column, consisting entirely of Mass, placed on a pedestal _of Carrara marble, and sur mounted by a statue of Peace, six feet high, by the celebrated sculrtor, Rauch, is about to be erected in the Garden of the Peace, at Potsdam. The shaft will be ornamented with spiral lines of blue and white.

The structure of their language is in itself an evi dence that they counted upon another frame of mind and a different pace and speed in reading, from that which can alone be looked to by the writers of these days. Their books were not written to be snatched up run through, talked over and forgotten ; and their diction, therefore, was not such as lent wings to haste and impaticice, making everything so clear that he who ran or flew night read. Rather it was so constructed as to detain the reader over what was pregnant and profound, and compel him to that brooding and prolific posture of the mind, by which, if he had wings, they might help him to some more genial and profitable employment than that of running like an () A r i e h through a desert,—Taykeg "NM en Ate." FEARFUL 30ILER BLACKPURN. Fly LIVES LOST (FROII OUR OWN I BLACKBURN, WEDNESDAY A most fearful boiler explosion took place this morning on premises in Starkie-street, occupied as a weaving shed, by Mr. William Hesketh. In March, 1846, (says a second' edition of the local paper), a similar accident, attended with fatal results, occurred on the same premises, (formerly known as the Eagle Foundry), in that portion of the build ing which was then occupied by Mr. Samuel Rodgett. The scene of this morning's casualty was at the Penny-street end of the premises, opposite to the stables of Mr. liugh Briggs, the Fleece Inn. The explosion took place during the breakfast half-hour (between eight and half-past), or the loss of life must have been very great, there being from 90 to 100 hands employed at the mill. As it is, however, five lives have been sacrificed, and some six or eight others dread fully injured. The site of the accident is now one mass of ruins, amongst which it would be impossible to trace out the buildings which stood upon it this morning. The engine house was on the west side of Starkie-street, about 30 yards from the corner of Penny.street. The front building was only a story high, but behind this there was another erection two story's in height, both being occupied as weaving sheds. These buildings were completely . blown down, as well as one engine house and the adjoining premises in Starkie- street. The boiler was a waggon-shaped one, about fourteen feet six inches in width. It had eight cross stays, four at the surface of the water, and four at the crown of the boiler. Besides these, there were three or four diagonal stays and a longitudinal tone. The force of the pressure has con verted the wagon-shape of the boiler into an irregular circular one. We purposely abstain from any exparte statement as to the character of the boiler, inasmuch as it will form the subject of official inquiry. The boiler was lifted out of its bed and driven with great force across the street, through the wall of the opposite yard, behind Mr. Briggs's house, through the Stable and partly into the kitchen, several of the inmates narrowly escaping destruction. It is almost incredible that such a mass of iron, as that which composes the boiler—which was adapted for a sixteen-horse power engine—could have been driven through such solid masonry as the walls on the opposite side of the street, so as to be firmly embedded where it is now to be seen_ At present it is difficult to obtain accurate information, but we believe the following are the names of the parties killed by the explosion : —T. Brotherton, twister, John street, who has left a wife enciente and five children ; Thos. Sharples, bolt maker, Factory-hill, aged about 20 ; William Benn, painter, who lodged in the house adjoining the engine house ; a child who was in bed at the next house, that of William Robinson and James Clegg, weaver. The under named are some of those who were injured :—William Ingham, painter, who was passing at the time of the ex plosion, had his leg broken and greatly bruised; Betty Duckworth, weaver, who was at work in the upper room, was found in the cellar, much hurt ; and Helen Shorrock, weaver, who was at work in the same room, was much bruised. The names of the other sufferers we have not been able to ascertain. One end of the boiler was blown in the direction of Mr. Talbot's tallow chandlery, which is situated in the rear of the premises occupied by Mr. Hesketh. A man who was at work on Mr. Talbot's premises had a very narrow escape. A horse belonging to Mr. West, butcher, was killed by a stone thrown from the building. A bystander, who was in Penny street at the moment of the accident, states that the boiler flew across the street " just as if it had been a shot dis charged from a gun." Immediately after the explosion, Messrs. Wilding, Shaife, Leach, Grime, Sheppard, and Drs. Mairland and Irving were on the ground, and rendered every assistance in their power to the parties injured. The police, under Mr. Marshall, were also speedily in attendance, and assisted in keeping order. Parties were employed to clear off the rubbish with a view to the extrication of the bodies supposed to be buried underneath. It is presumed that all have been got out, as there were only a small number of hands on the premises when the explosion took place. The force of the explosion was felt within a considerable circle around Starkie Street. The house of Mr. H. Biggs, which is situated at the corner of the street, has been greatly injured. It is probable that the large room behind (under neath which the boiler was driven) will have to be taken down. A singular circumstance was noticed on these pre mises connected withthe accident. Abeam, with clothon 'was driven from the factory through a single pane of glass into one of the rooms. We understand that the boiler which has exploded was about being replaced by a new one, for which the dimensions had been taken about a fortnight or three weeks ago. It is said the boiler has been in use about fifteen years. Many thousands of persons visited the premises during the morning. The mass of undistinguishable ruins which occupy the space around the engine-house have excited the astonishment of all who have witnessed them. Bricks, b.me of wood, iron °hafting, loomo, Sao., aro all sninglaa together in a confused heap, conveying a vivid idea of the awful power of the element which caused this horrible des truction. As in other similar cases, the opinion of some scientific person will, no doubt, be obtained upon the probable cause of the accident. Until this is given we advisedly reserve the information which has reached us upon the subject. BISHOP AGAINST BISHOP. The Bishop of Exeter does not recognise the Protestant Bishop of Jerusalem, who, although consecrated by the Arch- bishop of Canterbury, has not " the express permission of the bishop" U. e. the Greek or Roman , ecclesiastic] "in whose diocese Jerusalem is situated." The following letter states the case : . . Bishopstowe, Oct. 24, 1853. My dear Dr. have received a letter from a friend informing me that the absence of my name from the protest now in circulation against certain acts of the Right Rev. Bishop Gobat (called by many Bishop of Jerusalem) has been considered as a proof of my disapproving that protest. Permit me to say, that such a conclusion is wholly unfounded. . . . . . I decline to sign that protest—and, indeed, to inquire into the statements on which it is based—simply because I had previously protested, by a formal instrument addressed to the late Archbishop of Canterbury (under date May 25, 1846), against the consecration of any successor to Bishop Alexander at Jerusalem, as involving very grave violations of the laws of the Catholic Church, and of our own branch of it in particular. Having made that protest, I cannot enter into consideration of the details of conduct on the part of him who ought not, in my judgment, to have been sent thither by any authority of this Church or country, to minister as a bishop, without the express commission of the bishop within whose diocese Jerusa lem is situate. In truth, I know not how to distinguish the principle of that act from the mission of an Archbishop of Westminster by the Pope. Believe me, my dear Sir, very faithfully yours, Rev. Dr. Mill. (Signed) H. EXETER. The following letter appeared yesterday on the same sub ject : " Whereas certain clergymen have addressed a memorial to the Oriental Patriarchs and Synods, in which the Anglican Bishop in Jerusalem is accused of having exceeded the proper objects of his mission, and of introducing schism into the Eastern Churches : " And whereas some of the names affixed to the said docu ment are the names of persons who hold official stations in the United Church of England and Ireland; and it might be sup posed, at least in foreign parts, that a censure of the Bishop, as having acted without due authority from his Church, would not be made by persons who were themselves acting without such authority. " Therefore we, the Metropolitans of the United Church o England and Ireland, deem it expedient to make this public declaration, that the said memorial does not in any manner emanate from the said Church, or from persons authorised by that Church to pronounce decisions. " We are induced to take this step, first in order to guard against the danger which might arise to our own Church from til< example of the irregular and unauthorised proceedings of the memorialists ; and, further, because we sympathise with our brother, the Anglican Bishop in Jerusalem, in his arduous position, and feel assured that his conduct, under the circum stances in which he is placed, will be guided by sound judgment and discretion. _ _ _ "J.

TURKEY AND RUSSIA. The additional news from this quarter adds little of importance to that previously known. The telegraphic despatches received yesterday, corroborate those which we:published on Tuesday, regarding the passage of the Danube by the Turks It comes via Semlin; and announces that 20,000 Turks crossed the Danube on the 27th October, near Widdin, and occupied Kalafat, which had ceased to be occupied by the Russians. There was no fight. Another message, dated Vienna, November Ist, atates, that the communication with the Lower Danube is entirely interimpted, in consequence - of recent events. _ Most of the letters from Vienna and Constanti nople, which were received yesterday, was written before the above events took place, and conse quently to a great extent divested of interest. Aniong the exceptions, is one froM the Constanti nople Debats, who writes from that capital, on the 22nd ult., "The day before yesterday, M. de Bruck, the Austrian internuncio, had an interview with the Sultan, ftnd handed to him a new project of note, with the collective guarantee, it is said, of the four Powers assembled anew at 'Vienna, that it would be accepted by Russia. I do not know the tenor of this note. At the end of the interview, a Tartar was immediately despatched to Omer Pacha, with directions to him to wait' some time before commencing hostilities rhat circumstanc leads to the :belief here that the note is of a nat_urc to be accepted by the Divan. Noth - interest, besides what I have just said, has occur red. A quarrel took place, two days ago, between some Italians, who were intoxicated, and the police. Four persons were killed, and several others wounded. Politics had nothing to do with the g of political matter." The Constantinople correspondent of the Times, writing on the 20th, says—" To-day her Majesty's steam frigate the. Retribution, commanded by the Hon. Captain Drummond, is to - proceed to the Dardanelles with despatches for the Admiral on the receipt of which it is expected that three British line-of battle ships will at once appear in the Bos phorus, followed or preceded by a like number from the French ships. Besides these, four or five steam frigates from each division of the combined squadron are also 'expected to form part of the Anglo-French contingent in - the Bosphorus. The rest of the fleet will remove from the unsafe an chorage of Besika Bay, and anchor near Gallipoli. The Spitfire is now here, her officers being engaged in taking soundings in the Bosphorus..

The tenor of his speech was, that Dudley having in the first place made an indiscreet charge, then endeavoured to support it by disre- putable Means. Miss Ellen O'Neill, the first witness for the defence, sworn and examined by Mr, M‘Donough, Q.C.—Resided at Carrick-on-Suir previous to her father's death, and was re siding at the house of the Misses Cantwell, in Dublin ; left that house on the 14th of October last, m'company with Miss Cantwell, and proceeded to Moorestreet, where sho bought some fish, and' froM thence she and Miss Cantwell proceeded to the 'house of Messrs. 'Cannock and White ; witness required a pocket handkerchief, - and Miss Cantwell wanted to buy some black ribbon ; witness left Miss Cant well at the ribbon counter, whilst she went to buy the hand kerchief, for which she paid one shilling, and got no bill ; on her return to Miss Cantwell she found•Duclley in the act of seizing a bit of velvet ribbon, and upon Dudley accusing her with having: stolen it, Miss Cantwell said, "No — l bought it and pad for' it." One of the young men stepped forward and said to Dudley that the lady had bought ribbon from him,upon which Dudley said to him to "go aside ;" she asked Jeffreys what had occurred, and he replied that he did not know, but that he had sold her some ribbon — The Witness was here about to be examined by counsel as to the conversation she had with Dudley at the time of the occurrence in the shop, when--. Mr. Whiteside objected. • The Chief Baron - referred to his notes, after which Mr. liTonough was heard in support of the line of exa mination he was . pursuing. The learned gentleman said that if Dudley's version, and D udl ey' s version alone, were to be admitted, and the version which he intended to produce from the lips of Miss O'Neill, was to be suppressed, it would be'an insult to common sense which 'every man in court, whether lawyer or not, would indignantly repudiate. Here there was some cheering and clapping of hands in court, and one of those who created the interruption having been seen - by the Court, the two learned Barons at the same instant, ordered the police to take him into custody. Peter Macquaid, the offender in the case, a man far ad vanced in life, was forthwith taken into custody, and con ducted by the police in front of the bench. He said he was by the splendour of the language used by impulsively gave way to his feelings by Cctunsel that -11, creating the interruption. The Chief Baron ordered him to be committed, and to be brought up for judgment at the rising of the court. This case was the second of the kind that occurred during the day_; but in tht first case the offender apologised and was not committed. The Court ruled in favour of Mr. M'Donough's line of examination. Examination of Miss O'Neill resumed—Mr. Dudley . asked Miss Cantwell to step aside, and not let the matter become public ; she said " I'll not go—you'll regret this business— take care what you are about;" Dudley asked witness seve ral times to leave the shop, and not mix herself up with the business ; Miss Cantwell walked into the carpet-room, and witness followed, and remained with her all the time she had a full opportunity of noticing her move emb, aud whilst hi the carpet-room Miss Cantwell did not take her purse from her pocket. It was quite impossible that Miss Cantwell could have thrown a piece of ribbon behind the oil-cloths, without witness observing it. Mr. Joseph Sullivan, a silk-velvet manufacturer, was then produced.

SIONS.—At the last sessions at Enniscorthy a case was tried which has excited much interest in the county WexfOrd. The plaintiff was Michael Byrne, of Medop-hall, labourer, and the defendant Colonel Owen, of Woodlands, both in that county. The action was grounded on a civil bill pro cess, in which the plaintiff demanded £4O damages of the defendant, for false imprisonment. The facts as deposed have already been before the public ; but they may be shortly re-stated. Some time in 1852 Byrne had brought charges against Col. Owen, of having made overtures to him, soli citing him to murder Mr. George Glascott, the former agent of the estate of which Capt. Owen had then become the agent.. Byrne made depositions to that effect before magis trates of the county; and in consequence Col. Owen lodged informations against him for perjury, and had him arrested. Ire was brought to trial on that charge some months after wards, and was acquitted. The present action was to recover damages for the alleged illegal imprisonment. In the evi _ dence - n.ow given Byrne reiterated his charge of subornation of murder against Col. Owen ; and that gentleman ern nhatically denied it. The result was, that the jury found n verdict for the defendant SHIPWRECKS.—The Newry Telegraph says z—On Friday morning a large vessel—bottom upwards—was observed wrecked and stranded at Templeton Bay, inside of Cooley Point. A boat, about ten feet long, had been picked up convenient to the scene of the wreck, on the stern of which was painted—" John and Anne—Pell." The wreck has been left in charge of Mr. Baldwin, R.N., Coast Guard officer of Cooley Point. No further information has yet been discovered respecting the unfortunate vessel. MURDER. A Ballinasloe correspondent of Saunders writes as follows :—lt is to-night my painful task to furnish you with the particulars' of one of those sanguinary occur rences which harrow the feelings of society, and cast a gloom over the general aspect of the community. A number of tradesmen, it appears, of different callings, have of late been employed in effecting improvements at Lisduff House, in this county, and on Saturday evening last, having ter minated their day's work, they came into the village of Killimore, where, after drinking ardent spirits for a length of time they quarrelled, and one of them, named Richard Thomas, from the county of Cork, stabbed with a knife Roger Redden,"a native of Dublin. The wound havinc , been inflicted on the left side in the immediate region of the heart, death almost instantaneously resulted. Thomas im mediately gave himself up to the police, who have him in custody, but as yet a coroner's inquest has not been held. I understand that three others have also been arrested, who were present when the dreadful occurrence took place. am happy to state that the perpetrators of this disgraceful outrage arc not natives of the west of Ireland, and therefore the reproach does not lie immediately at our doors.
