IRELAND (PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) DUBLIN, FRIDAY. THE APPALLING ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN RAILWAY.. FURTHER PARTICULARS We yesterday published an account of a frightfiul accident which happened on the Great Southern and Western Rail way of Ireland, on Wednesday night. We now give more detailed particulars of the deplorable event, including the proceedings at the inquest, which was opened yesterday. Since the announcement of the fatal occurrence, quite a gloom has been cast over the city. People talk of nothing else. This being actually the first terrible accident of the kind in Ireland, has infused a sort of horror into everybody, and indeed there :are only few in Dublin, who have not some friends or acquaintances in some wav injured by this calamity. There have been thirteen death's up to the piesent, but there are six more still in a preca rious state, five at Stephens's hospital in Dublin, and one at Straffan, the place near which the accident happened. It is said there are altogether about fifty people, more or less injured. There have been eleven bodies already iden tified, namely those of Mr. M'Sweeney, solicitor, and his wife, Kenmare ; Mr. T. W. Jelly, of Straboe, Queen's County, one of the most extensiye farmers in Ireland; Mr. Egan, Shopkeeper, Parsonstown ; Mr. Christopher M'Nally, a solicitor in very good practice in Dublin ; Mr. Bateman, Cork ; Joseph Sherwood ; with the following ladies :—Clare Kerwan, Abbey-street, Dublin; Margaret Leathby, Eccles-street, Dublin ; Mrs. Knapp and Miss Palmer, English ladies. On the body of another lady, a prayer-book has been found with the name of Kate Hamilton Plaines ; and there also remains the corpse of a gentleman unknown. - Captain Collis, master of the Times steamer, which, it will be recollected, was blown up a short time since, near the Pigeon-house fort, was amongst the passengers. . He appears to have acted, after the fatal occurrence, in a manner which cannot be too much lauded. He exerted himself most strenuously in extricating the wounded passengers, and, but for his presence of mind, many more lives, as will be seen, might have been lost. He has given a clear and succint account of all the circumstances, which, in itself shows how well he must have retained his self-possession all through. Captain Collis states, that shortly after passing ' Pallins station, which is about twenty miles from Dublin, the train stopped, and he, with five others, got out to ascer tain the cause. They then discovered that something was the matter with the engine, which hindered its further pro gress, and that, as a goods train was expected within half an-hour Mr. Croker Barrington, one of the solicitors of the Company, who happened to be a passenger, had sent a man back with a red signal light, as a warning to the driver of the goods train engine. The messenger had been gone from ten to fifteen minutes," proceeds Captain Collis, "when we saw the lights of the cattle train approaching. We all thought of course, it was coming along quite slow. Mr. Jelly,• who had got out, stepped back into the doorway of his carriage In it also were two English ladies, the wife and sister of an, English gentleman. They wanted to get out, but Mr. Jelly bid them not stir, as he was going to get in himself. Mr.. Kelly, another gentleman, was also about to step in, he having left his carrirge pr eviously, when I said : " Stop a little, there is no hurry ; the train will not go without some warning, and, at all events, you and I are active enough to jump on it if it should ; but just wait till this train comes up." "Oh ! " said he, "it is merely walking up to us ; " but, nevertheless, he waited. I stepped close to the line, and cast my eye along, when I saw, by the reflection of the light upon the shining rails, that it was coming at full speed, and I heard by the beat of the engine that the steam was not eased off. lat once shouted out, " Good God!" she is coming at full speed—look out, look out ! " and I jumped over the wire fence into the field, and looked around me. I saw the cattle train running right into the last carriage of the passenger train, indeed through it. In an instant all was in a pile of ruin.. I ran back and saw the driver of the cattle train, who seemed horrified at the frightful calamity. I asked him was he hurt ? He replied, " No, but I'll never get over it." He then proceeded to assist the wounded passengers. I perceived that the steam was being generated, and that in a minute more we would all be blown away by the explosion of the engine, andl sang out for the engineer and bid himblow off the steam. He did so, and then we set to work." Captain Collis then gives an appalling description of the scene of ruin which he witnessed. They first found the dead bodies of two women, and near them that of a priest or friar. After extricating several ladies and gentlemen, who were more or less severely injured, they next came to the body of Kr. Jelly, which could hardly be recognised, his head being torn and smashed off, his legs both cut off, his body torn up, and his clothes torn all off him. Having adjusted the corpse, they found the two English ladies quite dead, and mutilated in a horrible manner. One of them had a little baby in her arms, which was and is still alive. "We then," continues the narrator, " went to the first-class carriage that had. been first struck by the engine, and there we saw the bodies of two ladie, apparently cut in two at the waist. Near . them was the body of another lady, whose dress only we could see, she was so buried in the ruins. The cries of a little boy then attracted me ; he was about eight years old: He was lying under the axletree of a carriage, which had broken both his legs, and was lying across them. With great diffi culty we got him out by raising the axle with a crowbar. I lAILY TIMES. • ' 1 ! -431 OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT. LONDON, FRIDAY. news which arrived of Turkey having de o,.

He held the Scre e of perpetual secretary to the Academy of , e tence=a situation he desired to relinquish - the It s he found he could no longer discharge is active duties. I will give yob, a brief sketch of la life, merely premising that he was as great in I.'"tics as in science; and that his name will long be , 41 etabered all over France, for the energy with hIP I I lit defended, in the provisional g.)vernment h l lB 4B the true principles of order, civilization, Cu. liberty ; while his discoveries iri magnetism ( . 4 re extended the boundaries of science—and• in ,reased the application of the arts—to the usef u l Purposes -of life. M. Arago was born on the 26th February, 1706, at Estagel, in the Eastern Pyrenees. He was .the n sni °of a g e ntl eman w h o fill e d a s it ua ti on i n th e nt, and who gave • him from his earliest age, a nlost liberal education. Having finished his studies at the college of Perpignan, he was sent to Mont where he was prepared for the Polytechnic school —which institution he entered, at the age of 18 , at the head of all his competitors. Soon after- Wa,rds, he was attached to th e B ureau des Longi tudes ; and he formed pa r t o f an expe diti on sen t :nto t Spain, under the direction of M. Biot, to de termine the arc of the terrestrial meridian from tl3arcelona to the Balearic Isles. The principal ob et of this expedition terminated in 1807, when M. rot returned to Paris ; but M. Arago remained in Spain in order to conclude the work. Here a curious incident happened to him. He was estab lished upon the summit of the Galatzo mountains in order to communicate with a place ealipd Yvin, and st. to mereurestuhdedly a arc of parallel broke betweentwoveetuthe France F a . t e ns,n and Spain. Whilst the savan was pursuing his observations, a report was circulated among the people that the fires and the signals that were in use, were intended to call in the French. M. Arago had only just time to disguise himself as a peasant, and to flee away in that dress, before an armed tf°, agsembledrushing in the greatest rate towards Menaced with death, his dress enabled and safely to pass through the enraged peasantry, ca p e took refuge on board a Spanish vessel, the 136`; In of which took him to the citadel of Belver. se whichierty he was . permitted to go to rC i e s, he reached in p a fishing-boat, the °, e crew of which Consisted of a single sailor. t o ° „ 41 ...

Arago was se n t t o th e tft of li.ora,s, and made to feel all the misfortunes n . captivity. The Dey of Algiers, however, ned a restitution of the frigate, when along with 1 . ) , e crew M. Arago was set at liberty.

At the age of 23, he was act ed a member of the Academy—the ordinary 111 4 „ 1 " of which were suspended in his favour on i, eo unt of his great scientific merit; and soon awards he was appointed Professor of Analysis t 7 ` 4 Geodesy in the Polytechnic School, an .ap vointraent which he retained till 1831.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING IN our paper of yesterday we reported the arrival of the steam-ship Franklin, at Southampton, from New York, and gave a summary of the commercial intelligence received by her. We have since re ceived. our private advices which, announce the im portant fact that the American government have it in contemplation to submit to Congress at an early period in the ensuing session, a proposition to re duce the impost duties. We are informed that those on raw materials will be first reduced, and that others will be modified. It appears that cir culars have already been issued by the Secretary of the Treasury department, which indicates a desire to discriminate, and not to abide by the principle on which the present Tariff is based; namely, to regard it solely as a - revenue measure. We quote from the New York ,Economist of September 24th, the following report of the dry goods market ` ` The market has been very - active both in the receipt of Goods and in • 'meeting. the, demands of the country trade. The check in the money mar ket has had a salutary influence in producing caution. The wants of the country at large for Goods are at this moment greater than ever. The demand has risen in the double ratio of greater numbers and improved means per capita. As a re sult; notwithstanding that the manufacturers have taken 12 per cent. more raw materials this year than last, and wrought them up into a quantity of Goods proportionably increased, prices have risen steadily, and in some cases revived imports that that had long lain dormant. The quantities of desirable Goods here, large as they are, are not equal to the wants, Cloths are well supported in prices, and Blankets in demand. The supply of continental Cassimeres is large, of beautiful styles and at prices which indicate a determination to get a footing, For heavy Coatings the demand is in excess of supply, and nearly every article . of British as Well as Continental production, indicate that the stock will diminish with the approaching close of the active season, satisfactory to all parties." • The London Stock Market was firmly supported today: Consols opened at 91%, and advanced to 92%, from which they fell 1, . but subsequently ad vanced again to 92%, and finally closed at 92% 02% for money and time. South. Sea Stock 113. Bank Stock for the opening, 220 222. Exchequer Bills lls. to 12s. dis. In the foreign house Mexican Stock ranged from 24 to 24 Peruvian weaker, having dropped from 70 to 794.

French shares have rallied, Strasbourgs marking 36i. Northerns, 33 388 ; Paris and Lyons, 251. • No alteration in gold mines. Chartered Bank of Australia was firmer to-day, at 14. South Ails tralian Land Shares are 1 higher. Van Diemen's Land Company, 151. The official returns just published by the Board of Trade, and which will be found in another part of our paper, are highly satisfactory. They exhibit a progressive increase in our exports, which, for the month ending Sept. 5, amounted to £8,297,086. The Bank of France, • on Thursday, raised its rate of discount from 3 to 4 per cent. In the Corn Markets throughout England, a slight advance is observable for the week. The Liverpool Market, however, was thinly attended to-day, and several parcels of wheat ex-ship, were offered at a decline of Id. to 2d. per bushel. The demand for flour was limited, and at a reduction of 6d. and upwards, per barrel. It appears by the annual .circular of Sir R. Proctor, that the amount of grain and meal .imported into Liver pool, and retained for home • consumption, during the past year was 810,452 quarters of grain, 911,109 barrels and 214,817 sacks of flour,and 320,547 loads of meal. The Cotton Market has presented a healthy tone to the close of the week. The business does not exceed 5,000 bales daily. 4,010 bales American, 30 Pernam, and 1,010 Surat, have been taken on speculation and for export, and 81,120 bales to the trade. The actual export consists of 5,050 Ameri can, 530 Brazils, &c., and 540 East India, in all 6,120 bales. The Produce Markets have all been remarkably quiet and firm through the week, as will be seen by the usual weekly reports, which we give in ano ther column. The Coffee trade are about to aban don the use of Chicory altogether. The Liverpool money market has been remark ably tight for some days, and discounts could not be obtained at our banks under 6 per cent. The railway market has been active to-day with a slight advance in prices. BANK OF ENGLAND RETURNS.-ocr. 6. ISSUE DEPARTMENT. Debit.

The Africa arrived out on the 22nd ult The yellow fever continued to rage with great virulence on the plantations, and in the various towns of Louisiana, Mississippi, &c., but the epi demic was rapidly decreasing at New Orleans and Mobile. An immense and enthusiastic public meeting was held at the Metropolitan-hall, •New York, on the 22nd ult., for the purpose of voting .a testi monial to Captain Ingraham, of the United States' sloop-of-war St. Louis, in appreciation of his-gal lant conduct in rescuing the Hungarian, KOSsta, from the Austrian frigate in Smyrna Harbour. The hall was densely crowded.- Dates from .Havaunah to the 13th ult. announce that, owinr , .to the high price of freights, there were no extensive operations in sugar, although the article was in much demand. The Cunard screw steamship Andes arrived at Boston, from Liverpool, on the 22nd ult. On the 11th ult she encountered a tremendous hurricane, during which Mr. John Mmiwell, the second Mate, was washed overboard and drowned, and Captain Hutchins was so badly injured that he died the same afternoon. Telegraphic despatches from Washington state that General Almonte, the Mexican Minister, had received intelligence of large discoveries of .gold on the Rio Mescala, which 'is on the route of the Mexican Ocean Mail and Inland Company. Theu sands of Mexicans were flocking thither. The last accounts from Texas deny the reports of the hostile disposition and movements of the Mexicans, and declare that more friendly feelings never existed betiveen the people of the. two countries. • • Commodore Vanderbilt's steam yacht the North Star, arrived at New York on the 23rd from her European trip. . _ _ Telegraphic accounts from Washington of the 23rd ult. state that the reply of the Cabinet to the Austrian protest on the Kossta affair would be published in a few days, and. would fully come up to public expectation. Mr. Marcy, it is said, has long since taken occasion to communicate to the United States' Minister in London the Presi dent's views on Lord John Russell's despatch re lating to Cuba. The position of the Administra tion is decided, and does not differ materially from the views propounded by Mr. Everett, the late Secretary. The importation of dry goods for the week ending the 24th ult. was in amount twice as much as during the corresponding period of last year, and exceeding anything ever known in the trade, both in extent and value. The flour and grain markets have advanced in consequence of the news per the Africa, with an active demand. Barrel flour advanced 121 c. to 181 c., per barrel, and wheat 2c. to 3c. per bushel ; corn was held more firmly. Canadian flour steady ; Southern flour better; rye flour firm. Scotch pig iron steady; lead firm. In. provisions, pork rather firmer; beef firm. In wood rather more active. In freights, 40,000 bushels.of wheat were taken to Liverpool at Bd. to 9d. ; to Glasgow, at Old- A British ship was also taken up for Falmouth, and orders, at 13d. for wheat. . AMERICAN SHIP NEWS.

I don i t, know whether the insensible lady was dead or not, but I think she was. We laid her on the bank. The other was not much hurt. We next discovered the body of a very large man - under the train. His head was cut off and gone. We found no trace of it. Both his legs were cut off also from the thighs down. We got out the remains and placed them on the bank. I was at this time a good deal exhausted, having worked very hard. Sir Edward Kennedy now came up. He had been a passenger in the carriage next the engine, which had been shot by the collision past Straffan station. Re had escaped unhurt, and had rendered every assistance to the passengers in those two carriages, which, with the engine, had been sent on by the concussion. • He then returned down the line to help there, and took the command from me, to my great relief, for I was quite worn out." ARREST OF THE ENGINE maim • As soon as information of the accident had been conveyed to the police, Sergeant Kennedy, of the E division, pro ceeded to the terminus and there arrested James Gass, the engine driver of the cattle train. On being taken to the station-house the following charge was entered on the charge sheet :--" Arrested on suspicion of being accessory to the death, of a number of persons at present unknown, near th e Straffan station of the Great Southern and Western Railway, b9tween the hours of five and seven o'clock on Wednesday evening, he being driver of a cattle train ; and supposed to have driven the same carelessly and n egligently into a passenger train, thereby causing the death of these parties, and se riously injuring others." _ In the - course of the day the prisoner was taken before Mr. Porter, at the Head Office, in the custody of Inspector Ebbitt, and Sergeant Kennedy, of the E division. Mr. Pilkington, Sub-Inspector of Constabulary, county Kildare, was also in attendance to procure the removal of the prisoner to the locality of the fatal occurrence. Inspector Ebbitt declined to allow the prisoner out of his custody before the decision of the coroner was known as to the death of the boy who died in Steven's Hospital, Mr. Pilkington thought it necessary to bring the prisoner before Dr. Hayes, coroner for the county Kildare, who was then about holding an inquest at Straffan on the dead bodies there. It was finally decided that the prisoner should be at once removed to Straffan in custody of Mr. Pilkington and Sergeant Kennedy, which was accordingly done. THE INQUEST ON . THE BODIES Yesterday, Robert Hays, Esq., coroner for the county Kildare, attended at Shaffan, to hold an inquest on the bodies of those killed by the collision. The driver, stoker, and guard of the goods train were in custody. A jury hav ing been sworn, and some of the bodies identified, 'William Hutchinson, a labouring man, deposed :—I live at Ciownings ; I was standing on the railway bank yesterday evening when the accident took place ; it was about half past six o'clock ; on coming out from my house close to the railway I observed the passenger train standing still, and men doing, something to the engine ; after it had stood there about twenty minutes the other train ran into it ; I saw a man whom I afterwards understood to be the guard, leave the passenger train with a light in his hand, and walk along the line in the direction of Sallins, waving the light ; at ten or fifteen perches distance I lost, sight of him, but I could see the light after he had gone a considerable distance fur ther—l should think half a mile ; after the acceident had occurred he came running back; before that I saw no red tight at the end of the passenger train ; I am not positive that there was not ; after the guard went down the line with the light I remarked that there was no red lamp to the end of the train, and said to some of the passengers who were on the road that there should be a red lamp on the last carriage ; as I stood there a lady put her head out of the window of a carriage and asked pie - to get her a drink of water ; the night was dark, and a thick shower of rain had just come on; from where I stood to the spot whet e the collision took place, was not more than a perch ; the goods train came along at a reasonably strong speed, but not faster than usual ; when they struck the carriage which received the blow of the luggage engine was raised up as high as the wires of the electric telegraph, upwards of twelve feet ; the goods train did not appear to slacken its speed. Mr. Kempster Malcolm Knapp examined—l was a passen ger by the train which left the station at Killarney at about half-past ten o'clock on yesterday, the sth instant ; I was accompanied by my wife, Cherry Agnes Knapp, my child Annie, and a young lady, a cousin of my wife's named Mar garet Palmer; the train became stationary at six o'clock in the evening at Clowning's, and in reply to a question asked by some one I heard the guard, or - some officer of the com pany, reply that there was some slight injury to the engine; I and my party remained in the carriage after most of the other passengers had got out ; at last I got out to look about me, but still stood by the carriage in which my wife and friend were ; I did not imagine that any accident would occur, as I saw the guard and others going down the line with lights and a red flag ; my wife asked me not to stand so near the carriage, so I went on the bank immediately opposite to it, where several other persons were standing ; while there I saw the lights of the other train approaching at apparently so slow a speed that every one said it is all safe," and entreated the ladies to keep their seats ; I saw the approaching train pass the guard, who had gone down the line to meet it, at a distance of a quarter of a mile or thereabouts ; I had seen the guard wave his light the whole time to the train which was approaching, which made us think it was a signal that everything was right ; it appeared to me shortly after that the approaching train all at once increased its speed, and I called to my friend to jump out, but in an instant the approaching train dashed into the sta tionary train. The carriage in which I and my friends were travelling was a second-class carriage and was the last of the train, and consequently was next to the engine which ran into it ; I saw it dashed to 'pieces, and thinking that my wife and her cousin were under the engine I searched about it for some time in darkness and covered with steam ; after about three quarters of an hour's searching, as it appeared to me, I found the bodies of my wife and her cousin, who were then quite dead, about 60 yards behind the engine ; I f oun d m y little girl under their dead bodies; she was much mangled and scalded, and her leg broke. At this stage of the proceedings, Mr. J. D. Fitzgerald, Q.C., and Mr. Jeffers, solicitor, appeared on beh a lf o f th e Railway Company, and in accordance with their sugges tions the inquest was adjourned till to-morrow (Saturday) the prisoners being remanded under a coroners warrant to Naas gaol. THE EXTRAORDINARY CONSPIRACY CASE.—This extra- Ordinary case was brought to a conclusion yesterday, by the dismissal of the summons and the discharge of the de- fondants, Mrs. Kelly and Messrs. Maloree ancf Campion. MV LISBURN ELECTION.— The Belfast Mercury states that this election will take place next week.

CHARGE OF LIBEL AGAINST A CLERGYMAN.— Yesterday .. the Rev. Wade Martin, 'a clergyman of the Church of England, was brought before Mr. Jardine, the police magistrate at Bow Street, charged with having cir culated and published a wilful; malicious, and scandalous libel npon the character of the lady • of the Hon. Craven Fitzhardinge Berkeley, M.P. Mr. Bodkin appeared on be half of the Hon. C. F. Berkeley who stated that the defend ant had written a letter to hi s (Mr.f Berkeley's) eldest brother, containing the foulest aspersions on his wife's character. After hearing the case the magistrates determined to send it for trial, and the defendant was committed to Newgate to take his trial. • IMPORTANT TO STAKE-HOLDF.Tts Awn OTHRIII3.-At a late hour on Thursday, a case came on for hearing, at the County Court, Manchester, before R. Brandt, Esq., Judge, which is of considerable importance to stake-holders and others connected with the trotting and racing of horses. The case to which we refer, was Harrison v. Clough. The action was brought to recover £2O, money alleged to be had and received by the defendant on account of the plaintiff. It appeared, that on the 3rd of April last, the plaintiff, who is a waste dealer in Manchester, met, at the Trafford Arms, Stretford, Elias Levi, who is well acquainted with the sporting world, and the defendant, who keeps the Boar's Head, Withy Grove, Manchester. Upon that occasi on , a match was made between Harrison and. Levi, that Harrison's mare, Bloomer, should trot Levi's pony, Bobtail, for £lOO a-side, and on each side, £2O was paid down as a deposit, Clough being the stake-holder. It was arranged, that the parties should meet in a fortnight afterwards, for the purpose of staking the rest of the money . , and making a formal agreement. When they met, Harrison asserted, that upon the occasion of their first meeting, he had been distinctly given to understand, by Levi, that one of the entries to be made in the agreement was to be, that Bobtail had never run a public match before, and that that should be one of the conditions of the match. On the other hand, Levi contended, that no such stipulation had been made. A quarrel ensued between the parties, and Levi claimed the £2O deposited to the plaintiff, on the ground that the latter refused to comply with the terms of the original agreement between them. Clough paid over the stakes he held in his . hands, £4O, and the action was brought to recover £2O of that sum, the amount deposited by Harrison. On Harrison being sworn, he declared most solemnly, that at the first meeting it was distinctly stated, that a portion of the formal 'agreement should be to the effect, that Bobtail had never trotted in a public race before, and when the condition was refused to be complied with by Levi, he claimed his money, and held Clough responsible for it. On *the other hand, Levi swore that such a condition as that insisted upon by Harrison was never mentioned at the Trafford Arms. 'Clough stated that it was mentioned the same day, but after the money was staked.-Mr. Ovens, barrister-at-law for the defendant contended that his client was entitled to the verdict, as the condition was not stated before the money was staked. Mr. R. B. B. Cobbet, solici tor, who was for the plaintiff, argued that the agreement had not been completed.— So thought his Honour, who gave the verdict for the plaintiff. EVANGELIZATION OF IRELAND.--MEET IN THE CLAYTON HALL LAST NIGHT. A meeting of the clergymen, and others concerned and interested in the recent religious movement which took place in Ireland, was held in the Clayton Hall, Clayton-square, last night. The meeting was very niinierously attended, but there were only a few clergymen and other gentlemen upon the platform. The chair was taken at seven o'clock by the Rev. S. MINTON, incumbent of St. Silas's. The proceedings were opened by a prayer for the evangeli zation and spiritual welfare of Ireland ; after which The Rev. CHAIRMAN addressed the meeting in some intro . He stated that they had met to hear -egarding the prqceedingp ati chictory observations. some further details rc, _ ,s of a hod of christian ministers who recently went f or th to preach th gospel in Ireland. They would hear how they acted, an how they Were treated. Most of them were already awar how they were treated—not in all instances but in sonic It resembled in-many respects the circumstances which at tended the preaching of Paul. The people in that instancy first tried MO Violence, and then they appealed to the loca authorities, and said the preacher was acting contrary to th, laws of Caesar. In Ireland, the priests, oho answered to th( unbelieving- Jews, first instigated the crowd to g et up a riot ; and then, as in Limerick, they appealed to the local autho rities, and said they could not answer for the peace of the community, if such proceedings were allowed to go on. But there was this difference, that the country where these gentle men went to preach, was not under heathen rule or Popish rule, but under their Protestant Queen, and their Protestant laws. (Applause.) They 'trere doing nothing contrary to the laws, and should have received the protection of the laws. There were very few places in the kingdom where they would not have received that protection but unhappy Ireland (Hear, hear, and applause.) lie did not speak alone of th flagrant and wholesale perjury committed there assizes, by witnesses and juries where their priests were con, concerned, but of the encouragement given by those in high places, who endeavoured to govern Ireland through her priests. (Applause:) Balers should be a terror to evil doers ; but in Ireland the evil-doers Were the rulers. (Ap plause.) _ The priests wore a terror to the magistrates, who were afraid. to put the law in fore where they were con cerned. Had that plan succeeded? Had it conciliated Ireland ? It had not. It reminded him of a caricature well known in London, in which a barrel-organ player was seen It every before a door, refusing to move an inch under sixpence, saying he knew the value of peace and quietness. (Laughter.) O'Connell was the man playing the barrel-organ and Sir Robert Peel came out with a large purse and offered him £30,000 a-year to move on, but O'Connell said—" I'll never move on under Repeal—do you think I don't know the value of peace and quietness." (Loud laughter.) There never could be peace in Ireland while Ireland was governed in that way. The Rev. Chairman cited different in stances of trials in Limerick and in the North of Ireland., in order to show that where priests were concerned in Ire land, the law was not administered with impartiality. He then referred to a case exemplifying the manner by which the law was administered on the other side, in which persons were imprisoned and fined for joining in an orange proces sion. He did not say that they could not be fined and im prisoned, because in Ireland Orange processions were cer tainly against the law, and he did not approve of anything which was against the law, but it only showed how the law was administered in Ireland. The mass of the people of England did not know of these things, for they did not read the Irish papers which told of them, but now they had ad ditional evidence which they would hear to night. He was very glad—not that these gentlemen had been thrashed— (laughter)—but that they would be able to open the eyes of the gullible British public to what Popery really was. (Hear, hear, and loud applaus,.) They had instances of it in the case of the Madiai, and the more recent case of Miss Cun ningham°. (Applause.) This showed what Romanism was abroad, and the gentlemen present would tell them what it was in Ireland. A system of terrorism was also being esta blished in London, where recently a poor convert woman was assaulted in the streets, and a policeman refused to interfere. After some further observations upon the necessity of having the law there and in Ireland enforced, the Chairman con cluded amid loud applause. The Rev. Mr. DICKENSON next addressed the meeting. He referred to the establishment of the mission which had recently gone forth into Ireland, of which he had been formerly the proposer, and of which he was one, and declared that he should esteem it one of the highest honours, to be permitted to go to Ireland again upon a similar mission, without even returning from Liverpool to his flock. He looked upon it that the Lord had sent them through trifling humiliations and little dangers to show, that the work was not to be accomplished by writing, but by presence and open speaking. They were not despondent or cast down by their visit. The reverend speaker then proceeded to narrate the circumstances which attended the visit to Ireland. He had been one of those wlo were selected to visit the city of Limerick, and preach in the vicinity of Bale's bridge. He had prepared for violence, left all his money at home, and was as lightly clothed as possible, expecting a swim in the Sha nnon . (Laughter and applause.) The Irish people appeared to have an awe for prayer, for they did not interrupt him during his opening prayer ; but when he began to preach, they gathered round him, pinched him, struck him, threw him down, flung stones, and called out to throw him into the river. He endeavoured to get to his lodgings, and was assisted by a friendly young Romanist woman, as he after wards ascertained, to take refuge in a garret, when about 1,100 of the mob surrounded the house. He was at length visited by a stalwart sergeant of the police, who brought him, with great difficulty, through the yelling mob. Be it remembered, to the honour of Romanists, that both the policemen, who were instrumental in his deliverance, were Romanists. • (Applause.) The police inspector told him that the Limerick mob was the most violent he ever knew, except one other, the name of which, the speaker had for gotten ; and that, at any night, for a glass of whiskey, men could be got there, to murder him. To shew the influence of the priests, when a woman who struck one of his brother missionaries with a stone, was arrested by a policeman, a priest came forward and said, " Let that woman go, and I will answer for the peace being kept." They did not wish to prosecute, but that the police said if they did not, they (the police) would suffer in character, and perhaps lose their places. The scurrility of an Irish attorney,. before the magistrates he should never forget. One of his expressions was, when he was told that the proceedings took place at seven o'clock— " Who ever heard of converting an Irishman after dinner ?" LLoud laughter and applause,) They had to leave imerick, as they were told their lives would not be safe if they remained there. Similar disturbances took place in Clonmell, Bruff, and Tipperary. Some of the Limerick mob came to Tipperary and asked if he (the Rev. speaker) was there, but he had been sent to Cahir. They were fol lowed, he felt satisfied; in the train, and everywhere else, by scouts, who marked them out, and pointed them to the people. The speaker then detailed his visit to Cahir. A gigantic police-sergeant—the police were all giants in Ire land—and they had need to be— (laughter)—told him if they wished to preach in the open air, he should get more men to protect them, as he had only thirteen, but he could not answer for their not being shot from a window. The curate there, whose windows had several times been broken, although he was only a year there, told them if they preached in the open air they would be killed. They were, of course, denounced by the priests from the altar, and the expressions of the mob were—" the devil prosper you,—go back to the hell you came from," and such words. They were not, therefore, able to hold an open air meeting there, but they were very successful in receiving audiences and many Romanists in the church. Several soldiers attended there, and one of them had since thrown off the trammels of Popery, and became a Protestant. (Applause.) They next proceeded to Fethard, a town in Tipperary, where they got the use of the Presbyterian church, and where they were exceedingly successful. The minister of the Established church there was a solitary exception to all the other ministers they had met, and refused to receive them. He went to Cork, but was not able to preach in the open air, owing to the people having - been grontly excited by the proceedings in Limerick and Clonmell. The Protestant inspector of police was very useful to them there, in dis tributing tracts among the police. On the whole, the Rev. speaker said he had distributed in his mission in the different towns, about 1,500 tracts, and who could say what benefit might spring from that number ? He was happy to say that the mission was by no means a failure, and he had learned this fact, that the spirit of Popery was everywhere essential and unchangeably the same. (Loud applause). [Some interruption was here caused by some person who cried out some words which we could not catch, from one of the galleries. The CHAIRMAN said if that person continued to interrupt he should be put out. The interruption did not, however, con tinue.] The reverend speaker then proceeded saying, that all the persecution of Popery, was chargeable not upon the people, but upon the priests. (Applause). He would assert that, even though there might be priests there in disguise. (Renewed applause). He narrated an instance in which a priest named O'Flyn, in the county Cork, had endeavoured with a force of bludgeon men to prevent a Protestant Clergy man from preaChing the gospel, but the preacher was not to be deterred, and the priest had to give up the attempt. The priest from the altar in Clonmel said, " let them down easy boys"—and a Romanist servant maid explained it to her master by saying—" didn't we know what his reverence meant." It showed that there was a conspiracy on the part of the priests, and it was upon them, not the people, they charged these deeds of violence. (Applause). In the name of God, he charged these deeds upon the priests of the south of Ireland. (Renewed applause). After alluding to the success of the Established Church in the west of Ireland, and anticipating a similar success in the south, the reverend speaker concluded his address amid enthusiastic applause, by declaring that Maynooth • should fall—that its famous or rather infamous halls, should hold, in some future day, the pupils of a great Protestant Institution. The Rev. Mr. KUM next came forward, and proceeded to narrate the events ofhis mission to Ireland. If it was objected that they only stirred up contention and strife, they could answer by saying, that the same reproach had been cast upon the first preachers of the christian gospel, and they were only at an humble distance bearing the reproach of taking up the cross of its Divine founder. The reverend speaker went on to answer objections which were made to the details of the plan which had been carried out, and the publicity which had been given it. Had they taken a secret course, they migl have been char suitisru, - nor, had they desiied able .to secure it. The speaker then nal Red with adopting the acts of Je recv. would they have been ed, how, upon in Dublin from Scotia they were met with ac- counts of the anticipated violence, but they nevertheless de termined to persevere. lie was one of those who visited the town of Tipperary, where they perceived the same- effects which resuit s ed eieryw that p tons of Sv r, iu Austria, and in the s well as in Ireland front tronrly They werc i in the open air, anCI a riot. Every 3ould effect by In - this way much on in Ireland, but it Ind unknown to the other in enquiry, but each in secret, As an instance of the power held by the priests, the speaker incidentally narrated a circumstance which had occurred in Ireland in what was called the " Smith O'Brien year," 1848 A gentlemen who had heard nour ti tauts in Ireland were to be murdered, asked a Roman Catho lic labourer of his, if it was true, and if he would join in m.ur dering him and hi s i nnocen t f am ily,— an d the man replied, with tears in his eyes, " sure if the priests told me I _should do it." This showed what the 4-stein was, and he (the speaker) would rather even be the unhappy victim, than the tyrant. (Applause,) Ho alluded to recent conversions, or as he would rather call them, pervers'ous, in England to the Church of Rome ; but he told the meeting that far from Rome to their Church. (Applause.) Returning to the narrative of his mission to Ireland, he declared that the riots there were the creation of the priesthood, who every- A them from the altar, and who, when . _ appealed to for their own sake, and the sake of their religion, k disclaim them, only answered by heaping insult upon :hose who made the appeal. The notorious Dr. Cahill had openly boasted of the triumph obtained at Limerick by mob of thousands over a few unoffending ministers, of whom he (the speaker,) was one, (Loud applause.) The reverend speaker detailed their journey through Tipperary, Cashel, and other towns, where their reception was of a similar na ture. It was not the mission of a hundred ministers from xhcre C England and Scotland which created these riots. war against the Gospel had been going on befot The samc Ministers of their church had been frc assaulted, Rome ha 4 ever waged the :nd violently Mme war ther she waged in every part of the world against the spread of the true Gospel. _ (Loud applause.) He mentioned one place where, just before they entered, the Bible had been used openlylike a football in the street, and read a portion of a letter from a Protestant curate in Ireland, in which it was stated that a priest horse-whipped a boy who had be come a convert, but the boy persevered, and subsequently refused accepting a bribe which the priest offered him, of a shilling for every time ho went to Mass. Here he might allude to what was so frequently termed bribery in Ireland. The priests hunted a poor convert out of house and home, and if any one came to his relief to save him from starvation it was termed bribery, From Cashel the rev, speaker de tailed their progress through several small towns, until they reached the city of Waterford, where, owing to tti Lion of Protestant In istrates they were enabled to hold some very successful meetings in the Town-hall. They next went to Kilkenny, where they were told by Protestants and Catholics that their lives would be endangered if they attempted to hold an open air meeting. The speaker read some extracts from a work he had got in Kilkenny, containing a translation of an Italian treatise ou the Virgin Mary, authorized by Ni cholas, Cardinal Wiseman, (hisses). The doctrines which it contained he declared to be in the highest degree blas loud applause). That was the doctrine taught in and he narrated several instances of violence done there to converts of the Protestant religion, to show what was the practice which was taught there. In Kilkenny, the Mayor refused to allow them the Town Hall, in a place in the county Cork, ,two of their ministers preached without inter ruption, and when the priest 'heard it, he asked from the altar of his congregation—" could yoU not have sung the song while they were preaching ? "—and he recited part of a song ribald and infamous, that the lady of a respectable Itomon Catholic gentleman had to leave the chapel, and never returned there since (applause). Having returned to Dublin, they wore • sent out again to the county Cavan, where they were very successful, and made several converts. They also preached in the county Donegal and Derry, with great success. The speaker concluded by declaring that their mission had been productive of much good by showing them Rome's invincible hostility to the word of God, and by enabling them to speak in Ireland the great reliance of their religion, the Scriptures. The Rev. Gentleman re- Rilkenny, sumed his seat amid enthusiastic applause. The Chairman on behalf of the meeting expressed their thanks to the two Rev. Gentlemen, for their eloquent and instructive addresses, and wished them every success in work, and every prosperity in the cause they had under taken (applause). Thanks were then voted to the chairman, and the pro ceedings terminated with the singing of the doxology.

Harter, Esq., Broughton Hall. On Wednesday, addresses will be presented to the Right Hon. Gentleman on behalf of several public bodies, in the Town Hall, King-street. Yes terday (Friday) the Board of Directors of the Commercial Association met, and agreed upon an address ; the Directors of the Chamber of Commerce have taken a similar step, and on Monday a special meeting of the .
