We yesterday published the Freeman's fiighly co-
loured narrative of the eircumstar.ces under which
the extraordinary letter from Mr. T. Young to Gen.
Napier had been laid before the public. We now
give General Napier's contradiction to many of the
FrOOME/e8 statement', from Saunders's News Letter :
Saturday nosing, October 7, 1848.—Sir,—I have this in-
stant been shown tae weekty Prention's Journal, containing
a letter from Mr. Themes Young, which I was, by proems of
law, compelled to produce at Clonmel on tlie irW of Mr.
Smith O'Brien. I have had no oommunkstion whatever
with ..•7 «M., vs eny person oesturehlki with
wrappers, and I know not how that letter has
been obtained for the Preemies Journal ; but
the reply attributed to me by the editor being wholly
imaginary, calls for an immediate contradiction, and as I am
told the promptest mode of making that contradiction public
will be through your journal, I request as a favour that you
will publish the following observations:-Ist. I did not re-
turn "an inditinat reply "to Mr. Young—l merely made
some ironical and scornful remarks upon the implied sup-
position that I could co-operate in arms with a Birmingham
attorney and a Louden tailor spinet the Duke of W4ling-
ton t-20d. I did not stets " that from my sovereign I re-
ceived my swarm, &c., &c."-3rd. The whip did not apply
to me "requesting that the letter would be returned, do
&c."-41h. I did not at en; tints promise ort state " that I
would never divulge its content, or allow it to be made
public," &c.,&c..--6th. I did never" pledge myself to secrecy
under any circumstances." I did
envoy under any ciretwastscoes, nor in any mauneri_nor did
I ever maintain cry secresy in the matter.—Wx. NAPIER,
Dbireneral.
belief to-day is that Mr. Meagher and Mr.
IdiManus will be called upon to plead, and that one
of them at least, probably Mr. *Manus, will be put
upon his trial. Ladv O'Brien (Mr. B. O'Brien's
mother) and Mrs. O'Brien visited their relative in
prison on Saturday evening. He remains cheerful.
It may be as well to point out that the sixth count
in the indictment, which was withdrawn by the
crown before the iesue went to the jury, charged Mr.
O'Brien with compassing the death of the Queen ;
and, as that is the charge in which the English act
directs copies of the indictment unit lists of e wit-
11°.°11 to he given to the"owed ten days before trial,
it has raised a rumour that tl'..e certificate enabling a
writ of error to be issued vim be withheld. There still
remains the second poimt. of alleged error—the limita-
tion of the Prtooool, to 20 peremptory chalkages of
jurymen instead of '45.

ACCIDENT ON THE EDINBUROH AND NORTHERN
RAILWAY.—Dosmis, OCT. 7. —As the dawn train from
Edinbu-gh was 'warier Forry-Port-on-Craig this aftemoon, it
was observed that the impetus was net lessened on apprmah-
lag the atati9n, which omission or accident (as will no doubt
be explained) unfortunately led to a violent collision with
the outworks of the building, by which many passengers
were severely inured.j Several ladies and one of our lead-
ing merchants (Mr. Edward) are the principal sufferers.

RtTING THE LIVERPOOL CORPORATE AND DOCK
P•fltATlOL—Yesterday, at the adjourned monthly meeting of
the Liverpool town council, T. B. Hoehn, Esq., the mayor,
in the chair, a committee of nine members was appointed,
for the purples of giving effect to the resolution passed at
the meeting on the 6th ult., for subjecting the corporate and
dock estates to the payment of local rates.
THE MANCHESTER EXCHANGE AND THE ELEC.-
TRIG TELEGRAPH COMPANT.—Much indignation was mani.
feeted yesterday among the members of the Electric Tele-
vaph Subscription Room, by the information that Mr.
Wrigley, master of the Exchange, had pirated and curled
to that place for the information and use of its members, a
espy of the information obtained from Cloninel, at a consi-
derable expense, by telegraph. Intelligence of the circum-
stance was CEOTHrE to the members of the Electric Telegraph
enbeereelna seem, who immediately summoned a meeting
of their body, which wu very numerously attended. Mr.
B. F. Reekeon was called to the chair. He reminded the
mega. eat a subscriber had, on a former occasi 7U, been es-
pial fir espying information and publishing it in another
Wirsea=end
.the question was, whether they should act
this cue. Mr. Wrigley, he understood, said
be only teed as the servant of the Exchange committee in
this matter, and did it by their order. It was scarcely pos.
lib's to suppose that the Exchange committee would act so
meanly, but at the Fame time they had nos right to doubt his
word. lie that as it might, however, he thought the course
taken was palpably unfair.—Mr. T. 0. Lenard : Has Mr.
Wrigley had any notice of this meeting ?—Mr. J. P.Cox : Yes.
I sent information this morning. We posted the Irish new
at 9 o'clock. Soon afterwards a subscriber who had been on
the Exchange told me that it was posted there, and that it
was a course they regularly practised there of copying our
notices and posting them for the benefit of their oubscribers.
This was mentioned to Mr. Wrigley, master of the Exchange,
who admitted that he had done it, and should continue to do
it, having the directions of the Ex,:hanwi committee for his
guidance. Now the question is, is it fair after tho
'expense we have gone to of ending a reporter to Clonmel to
ebtainthe intelligence' =din laying down wires to Holyhead,
[that the servant of a body like the Exchange committee
should be allowed to transfer the information for the price of
a single subscription to their 2,000 or 3,000 subsceiben ? If
this thing goes on, you know the result : we shall have no
subscribers, and we shall no longer be in a position to incur
the expense of obtaining the information for ourselves or any
one else ; and it is only due to Mr. Wrigley to say that since
the coaversation I have detailed with him, he has laid the
matter before the Exchange committee, and that we have
received the following communication. Mr. Cox then
elated that he had received a letter from Mr. Wrigley,
inquiring in the name of the Exchange committee
upon what terms information received per telegraph will in
future be given to the Exchange. If (continued Mr. Cox)
the committee of the Exchange made an arrangement to
pay for their news, well and good ; but, pending that ar-
rangement, I should say you should act as you would in
other cases. (Hear, hear.)—Mr. T. O. Lingard then moved
" that the same course be adopted towards Mr. Wrigley on
this occasion as was adopted to a member under similar cir-
cumstances on a former occasion."—The motion, which
amounted to one for the expulsion of the muter of the Ex-
change, was carried unanimously.
ROBBERY OP SILVER BULLION.—On Thursday
William end Thomas Ityalle, two strangers' were brought
up for offering nine solid bars of eilvei foreale at a shopri-
in Rieluaondctreet, Liverpool. On Friday the two p
sowers were again placed at the bar. Marks, the constable,
who had been to Sheffield to make inquiries, handed in a
written document from the head-constable of Sheffie"ld, from
which it appeared that the father of Ake 50..., 'too h. 4

by the alder Rs ells, p

hearing that the silver

and so nearly was he sat
that he now his in a peace-
time state. The firm in which he has been so long employed
express great concern at the unfortunate occurrence, and
are desirous of avoiding a prosecution. It is thought the
young men are free from any guilty knowledge. About 500
pieces of scrap silver were found in the mans' he use when
searched ; the greeter part was identified by his employers.
Mr Rushton directed Marks to return to Sheffield with the
two men and the silver which was taken from them. The
elle will therefore be decided by the Sheffield magistrates.
YORKSHIRE.
i TITS WEST YoREdIIIRE ELECTION.—The
_quid
I roes see of this extensive electoral disiriat are already brimful
lof speculation as to who may be the probable successor of
' Lord Moreeth (now Earl a
men Carlisle), in the representation
'of the Riding. Various na have already been canvassed,
with more or Ism probability of their beis g started, but no-
thieg een be known with anything like certainty until the
lenders of the political parties in the Riding have had oppor-
tunities of conferring on the subject. As Lord Milton now
sits for the county of Wicklow, it is not expected that his
lordship will become again a candidate ; but it is thought
that Mr. Edmund Denison, the
have bf the Great
Northern Railway Company,would a good chance, as at
ell events be would not have Lord tlorpeta nor Mr. Cobden
for competitors.

was committed at Hunskt, near Leads, on the body of is
young woman named Ingham. between 16 and 17 years of
age, a carder in the flax mill et Messrs. W. B. Uoldsworth

Thum Malkin, Woni 17 years of age a wood turner in the
employ of the same firm, but that latterly she had declined

and ten o'clock, ha was seen watching the house where the
