IRELAND.

Denim, JUNE 30.
There was a great fire in this city last night. The
Free Church, which stood in Great C -aeries-di eet,
was totally destroyed, owing, it is supposed, to some
explosion from the gas-pipes. A valuable library and
magnificent organ were destroyed in the flames.
Since the burning of the C nstom Housestores someyeana
Ei .t e, there has nat been so great a fire in Dublin.
The Nlountstuart Elphinteone has sailed for its
des•ination from the Cove of Cork with the political
convicts, Martin and (Moberly, a fact which has
caused some surprise, as it was supposed that all tae
convicts would be sent t 'gether.
The Press of last night disparages the project of
London companies making settlements in Ireland. It
as ':s what would Connemara be worth to an English
proprietary, and at some length contends that there
is much illusion in Ergland about the capacities of
English owners to make the Irish soil more valuable.
A bubble pul:ey has so long ben pursued in Ireland
b)• the popular party that when more rational views
of Irish regeneration are presented, it is not surprising
that the experience of past delusions should make
some persona sceptical of all improvement.

ITALY.

ROMAN STATES. —Government has received
despatches from the camp before Rome, to the 24th
ult. The French had found greater obstacles on
their way than they had anticipated. The Romans
unmasked several batteries on the old wall of Aure-
lia°, which raked with a flankii,g fire the new posi-
tion taken by the French on the %web.
The resistance of the besieged continued with great
persistence, notwithstanding the knowledge of the
affairs of Paris and Lyons.
It is a singular fact, that, in the midst of all this
turmoil, the Roman Five per Cent. Funds, which, on
the departure of the Pope, were as low as 68, are
now at par.
SARDINIA.—Our correspondent at Turin writes
on the 24th ult :—" On the 23rd, at Civita Vecchia,
arrived 400 artillerymen and eight siege pieces, which
were immediately sent on to the camp. T-e news of
the death of poor Charles Albert has just arrived at
the Ministry. He will be much regretted here by
the people.

ton that a lad, named Taylor, wto bad been locked up with
another youth on a charge of stealing some apples from the
garden of a gentleman in Peckham-rye, had been seized
with cholera while at the station-house, and expired a few
hours after the attack, which was believed to have been
brought on by his eating the unripe and sour apples. On
the Friday evening an inquest was held on the body, and
the jury returned a verdict of "Natural death by cholera."

THB POLICE COURTS.

GUILDHALL._

CAUTION TO TUE PUBLIC—A NEW COMPANY.—Mr.
Dixon, the Manager of the Metropolitan Institute for the
Protection of Trade, waited upon Mr. Alderman Hooper,
for the purpose of communicating some important disclosures
respecting a newly famed public company started in the
city, end regarding which he was anxious to put the public
on their guard.
Mr. Dixon, producing a prospectus, informed the alder-
man that she company was called " The London and Metro-
politan Counties Tobacco Pipe Company," and it was pro-
posed that it should comprise 10,000 shares, of 21. 10s. each.
No preliminary deposit was required, but the full amount of
each share was to be paid on the delivery of the scrip. In
consequence of certain information being communicated to
the society to which he (Mr. Dixon) belonged, inquiries were
instituted respecting the company, and out of the twelve
names which had been printed as forming the committee of
management, it was found that eleven of the parties repu-
diated all connexion with the concern—they knew nothing
about it. The other gentleman had not been consulted on
the subject. There were also the names of two trustees,
and one who had been seen respecting the affair disclaimed
being connected with it. The secretary pro tem. had no
address, he was not to be met with, and altogether the com-
pany was of such a character that the public ought to be
cautioned against It.
Mr. Alderman Hooper thought he could do nothing in
the matter. It was all very well to put the public on their
guard, tut if what Mr. Dixon had stated was correct, parties
would make some inquiries before they joined the company.
Persona who could be taken in with such a concern must
certainly be open more than ordinarily to delusion.
Mr. Dixon said there were parties who might be deluded,
and it was his duty to protect them, it possible. Mr.
Dixon then thanked the alderman for the attention he had
given his application, and withdrew.

that one of the mat noble and gecerous acts ever known
should be designated a fraud.
Several deeds were then put in, showing the way in
which the property had been mortgaged ; and the deed in
question was produced.
The Attorney-General then rose and expressed his regret
that his learned friend should have misunderstood him. He
had only rpoken of a legal fraud, and never intended to im-
pute morel fraud. Although he had not the honour of
knowing the Marquis of Chandos, he had a perfect right to
conenr in the observations made by his learned friend, and,
if he had dons otherwise, he should have been departing
from the iastrustioas he had received. He would only re-
peat what the noble duke had stated, that the son had done
all the father could have wished.
Lord Denman—And much more.
The Attorney-General —The noble duke bad boon sorry
that Mr. Saute should suffer from an arrangement he had
made for the protectirn of the other creditors. He mast
not omit to state shut Mr. Strutt had long been the confiden-
tial adviser of the duke, and being satisfied that the trans-
action was a fair and honourable one he came forward volun-
tarily to make a sacrifice, thinking he fulfltled his duty by
giving up any chance of immediate payment. He regretted
it should be supposed that any private arrangement bad been
made. He had the deeds before him, end was satisfied his
friend had opened them clearly and properly. He thought
it right to express his opinion publicly, and his iastructians
concurred with his own view.

Sir F. Kelly was perfectly uttefied with the statement of
his friend. If, in refining to circumstances, anything bad
dropped from him calculated to pain the noble duke, he ex-
pressed his sorrow for it ; it certainly was not his intention.
Lord Denman said the Attorney• General had opened the
facts clearly, and he never entertained a doubt that the
transaction was highly praiseworthy. lie thought it most
probable that the plaintiff would not be delayed is the pay-
ment by the sown he lied adopted.
Verdict for the defendant.
In our retort of the case of " Lord Charles Townshend v.
Foley," which appeared in the Daily News of Saturday
last, we omitted to state that it was finally agreed that Lord
Ellesmere should be the party selected to decide upon the
merit and value of the single figure to be sculpture) by the
defendant for the plaintiff.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.

Cawsatoor.—The late lbw weather bas bad a most
beneficial effect upon vesetatien in the neighbourbosd of our
town ; lutist d, any one who bad not witnessed the change
would scarcely credit it. The wheats, which in some places
were turning yellow, hays now assumed the most luxuriant
appearance, and hold nut the hope of a moat bountiful re-
turn to the farmer for his ramming. In every other de-
scription 51 grain the change is equally conspicuous, and
we believe we may confidently assert that things never
looked better on the ground; and we trust that in due
time our agrituitural friends will rasp the reward of
their 'shouts, by is caving commensurate prices for their
commodities. The crops of fervor and grass are most pro-
lific, and that of tarts superahundant, which has of late
caused a great depression in the hay trade ; this, however,
affects the factor more than the farmer, the generality of the
latter class, in eons' quence or the lateness of the spring,
having but little to dispose of.—Cambridge Advertiser.
_ . . . . -

C H minas —May has indeed arrived in good earnest—tbe
reel May of the olden time. Toe progress now made in
vegetal:in of all kinds is moat surprising, and all crops ex-
hibit the greatest exuberance. Potatoes flourish as if no
disease had ever (Penned, and we verily believe and hope
that the market will be amply supplied betimes with a good
and cheap article. This will be a great boon to our work-
ing clews, who have almost forgotten the taste of a truly
good potato. Apples promise to be a most abundant crop;
never did we sea• greater prohabilitias—we had almost said
certainties—in this way. Plums, go:Behr:Friss, &c., have

enough to do to extinguish the fires. Nearly all the

HOW TO OBTAIN PARLIAMENTARY

The late Dr. Arnold, who had devoted much ear-

tion, attributed much of the enstraidering disaffection which
broods amoog the groat mar of our working population, and
the consequent uneasiness and painful sense of ingenue y
which pervade society generally, to the unequal didzibution

restrain the enoemous annunnlation of property In stogie
bands, to facilitate its acquisition, and enure its possession to
the mass of the community." In his speculations regarding
the future, Dr. Arnold seems to have been haunted with the
most gloomy foreboding of some great political convulsion es

would have witnessed the beginning of • movement

ALLZOID MISCONDUCT IN • DISSINTINO
R. Edgcomb and T. Luck were charged with intruding
themselves into a chapel in Webber-street, Blackfriar'slroad,
and disturbing the congregation.
Mr. Thomas Cooke-said that he was minister of &dissent-
ing chapel, of which the defendants were fornerly members,
but that they bad for some tints past withdrawn themselves.
On Sunday seeming, however, they intruded themselves, end
caused an interruption by exclaiming that he was nothing but
an impostor, and afterwards addreoing the congro,lation.
They were repeatedly requested to be silent, but at length
they became so noisy that it was found necessiiry to Gall in a
policeman to prevent a brag of the peace. The complain-
ant added that the chapel etiminly icensed.
The defendants stated that tie doctrines pronsulested by
the preacher of the chapel were at variance with christithity,
and that they presented thearelves there in order to en-
Heiden the congregation. They (the defendants) thought
they were jastifled in their interference under such .
circum-
stances

Mr. Cottingham informed them that they were very much
minaken,and that they were not justified in interrupting the
service In the
promised to keep away from the chapel in future, he would
order them to be set at liberty,but if not, he must bind them
down to keep the peace.

to the congregation the errors of the preacher.

ROMAN STATES. The following, from the
Piedmontese Oaaette of the 25th inst., is the latest
intelligence from Rome. It is dited the 20th:
As soon as 111. de L steps had received from the Assembly
the answer to his propo als, he set out for the mein body of
the French army, two miles from Rome, in a place eall-cl
Cinque Cammini. After a long conversation with General
Oadinot, he returned to Rome, accompanied by a general,
end immediately called a meeting of all French sub-
jects residing at Rome for two p.m. of that day (20th),
to communicate matters of the utmost importance to
them. It was surmised that they would be recom-
mended to have Rome in the course of the d• y.
as an attaec was imminent. A rumour was current
that she triumvirs had demanded two days time, after which
they would have propo ed some conditions, sad that the
Fre,.eh bad answered that Frau* diet-tes, but does not
receive condition. On the 20th all Rome was in alarm, as
the attack of the Fri neh appeared imminent. It was said
General Oudmot had de :laced he wou'.l enter the town at any
coo, even by the ass of extreme measures. On the approach
of Garibaldi's forces the Neapolitans had retied from Fras-
esti, Valmontone, Marino, Felestrina, Albano, Germano, and
Velletri. The Romans had however, by forted marches, in-
tercepted a considerable body of them. An action had certainly
takes place between Velletri and Cisterns, as the noise of
cannon had been heard in those puts from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.,
but the moult was not known.
A letter from Rome, of the 20th, in a Genoa paper,
states that a considerable number of wounded of the
a-my of Garibaldi hid just been brought into the city,
and that a report was current that he had sustained
great reverses in a battle with the Neapolitans, near
Velletri. The silence of the government on this sub-
ject criussd the report to obtain c,nsiderable credit.
The Posits's* of Rome, of the 20:11, states that as
soon as the Neapolitans hid left Albano the colours
of the republic were again hoisted, amidst the cheers
of the population, and that many subalterns from the
Neapolitan camp had gone over to the Romans.
The Contemporaneo of Rome of the 19th announces
the arrival at Civita Vecchia of the Infernal, French
steamer, with 880 troops on board. An officer imme-
diately landed haus the rest, and sent an estafette in
great haste to General Oudinot.

to the late Duke of Gloucester. From his childhood be had
exhibited much eccentricity of manner, sad he always
abhorred the idea of any person entering his apartments,
and it was only by stratagem that his room was over
cleansed. Some time since he met with a pecuniary =is.
fortune, and ever eines he hid been indolent, and was very
slothful in his appearance. For the last two years he had
occupied, unknown to his family, who are highly respects-
ble, residing in Edinburgh, a small beck room, at
No. 32, Clement's-lane, for which he paid four sha-
llop per week. He was in very indigent circum-
stances., and about twelve months age an appeal was
made to the profireion sad persons whom he bad known
in his prosperity, by which means en annuity of 201. per
annum was =deed tar his support for the remainder of hb
life, which he got from Mr. Laing in instalments weekly.
He was lest seen alive on Thursday last, and he then ap-
peared in his usual health. On Monday evening list a most
dreadful stench was experienced In the house by the lodgers,
who found it to proceed from the deceased's room. The door
was subsequently broken open, and the effluvium that
=cepa from the room was so great, that the polies con-
stables and Mr. Divot, the surgeon, were compelled to
return down stairs, and were afterwards attacked with
violent dances. Mr. Lovet obtained a quantity of chloride
of lime, and returned again to the room. After using the
lime very freely, he was enabled to enter the room, and
found the deceased lying by the side of the bed, as if he had
fallen from it by accident. The body was most shockingly
deoomposed, and the deceased appeared to have been dead
IMO days. The room, which had never been cleansed since
he had lived there, presented a most disgusting and filthy
sight Mr. Walker, surgeon, attributed death apoplexy,
and the jury returned a verdict to that effect.

MILITARY.

Tuz LATE M•son-Onteita•• BLAIR, C B.—This dis-
tinguished officer, whose death we announced yesterday, had
seen a great deal of service. Having in 1802 entered the
army as an entire. he in 1808 proceeded to Portugal under
the Duke of Wellington, and was appointed • Major of
Brigade; Captain Blair was present with General Cranford's
Brigade at tke affair of Obidos, and was engaged in the
battles of Boleia and Vanier*, In August 1808.
When Sir Hugh Dalrymple assumed the command in Por-
tugal, the captain was appointed an aide de.eansp to that
general, but on the advance of the army into Spain he be-
came aids de-camp to Lord Hopstonn, and was present at
the affair of Lugo and in the battle of Coruna in 1809. In
the April of this year he again proceeded to Portugal as
major of brigade, and was present with Sir Allen emission's
brigade at the capture of Oporto, the affair of Salamanca,
and the battle of Talavera, in which he was severely
wounded ; being taken prisoner in hospital, Captain Blair
was not liberated until the end of the war, in 1814, when
he was promoted to the rank of Maor his commission
being ante-dated to the 30th May, 1811.' In December
1814, Major Blair sailed with the force destined for New
Orleans, but, the force being recalled, be was transferred to
the stall in Flanders, and appointed to Sir Frederick Adam's
Brigade ; at the battle of Waterloo the Major was
severely wounded ; for him gallantry on this memorable
otession he received hie lieutenant. coloneley, and the ap-
*lament of Assistant-Adjutant-General to Sir Thomas
Brisbanes division. On the formation of the army of earn-
pities, Lieut.-Colonel Blair was nominated Major de Place,

man I saw &reedy why Cemetwader Pitman had said
he was so far off the Prates shoals, and that he was utterly
incompetent to navigate or tail the vessel, otherwise he
would have put the vtael on another tack, sad got ender
the lee of the land. Why I looked at the leg after the
striking of the vessel was bemuse Coo. Piz rid
sa the
vessel was se far off the Prams shoal. I thin I saw the
logbook two days before, when off the Na I was M
before the ship left the port, was fll whilst at the shoal, and
was ill afterwards. I was not in bed when I maw the log-
book, after the ship's depertare from the share. The log
was sot to my pommies after the ship left the shoes until
she struck._ _

By the President The entry in the log for the
10th of February, 1849, was mule by me, the entry it
the dheitarge of lir. Smith, the master's assistant ; it was
made fa tionsequenes at Coauaaader Pitman's orders. The
initials on the fig for that day ars those of the gunner.
Sir Thomas Maitland Look at the log-book
o, and

of the 9th of (Weber, 1848, is false, lammach as the position
of the ship se here plead is not the mese as had been ima-
gined sal entered beton the vessel struck. Hid the position
been known as here placed, there was a fair wind, which
would have allowed the vessel sae? say ceases of hop-
ing down on the Prate shoals. No seaman would ham
attempted to lay to, whoa by run a few miles be would
have bees in a plies of safety, sad the wind Wag favourable
to his doing to, in the day's work, as it now stands, I con-
sider the fore* of the wind to have been altered and fah.,
and the bearing of the land is quite wrong sad altered from
what I first saw it, the ship's heading being
the same way, or nearly so; the wind very nearly the
same. The emenday's work is plated doers S. 11, W. 96

said it wee cut up in the Menage by the lest lieutenant and
boatswain. I sent for the boatswain. Ile told me it was
so, end that he would tell the truth if he were asked the

IRELAND.

DrRLIN. Sarriernsa 4.
Major Turner, Muter of the Horse to his Ex-
cellency the Lord Lieutenant, died on Sunday night
of cholera. He was attacked immediately after
having come from church.
The large and newly-erected Wesleyan Meeting
House in Donegnll-square, at Belfast, was burnt down
on Sunday night after the congregation had retired.
The Rude light, used for illuminating the edifloe from
the centre, set lire to the ceiling, the pipe having be-
came over-heated. The work of destruction was over
in three or four hours. The building was insured for
4'oool.

In this chapel wu the "old organ of Armagh Ca-
thedral, built by Snetzler, end lately purchased by
the Wesleyan chapel, where, after being repaired
and put up by Walker, it wu thus destroyed on the
first night of its being opened.

',Lax Cutavaa.—ln the report of the commissioners for
the return of the populatioe, they found that the portion of
the lands in Ireland fit for the purposes of agriculture, ex-
clusive of all other descriptions, amounted to 13,466300
acres. Instead of one.eighth, which it had been shown was
perfectly consistent with good farming, let them suppose that
i only onv-sixteenth were appropriated to flax, they should
have 841,618 scree; six cwt., or about one-third of a ton,
was considered a fair average pnduce by the acre : that
would give no less than 252.466 tons ; and, at 461. per trn,
the value would be 11,360,4761. Then, with regard to the
employment which the cultivation of the plant gave, and
which was a most important consideration, it had been
already shown that, independently of spinning, an acre of
fine flax gave employment for • year to nineteen persons in
manufacturing it into pocket handkerchiefs ; and, if spinners
were added, there would be en addition of forty-four women,
making altogether sixty-three persons. But some people
might think that an exaggerated statement ; therefore, let it
be supposed that one acre of flax would be equal to the em-
ployment and support of one family for the year, then the
result would be, supposing only the one•sixteenth of the
lands of Inland to be in flax, there would be 841,618 families
so supported; and, taking each family at the usual average
of five, the number of individuals sustained would be
4,207,690—equal to shout one-half of the whole population
of Ireland.—Rafted from Speech of Afr. Sharman Craw
