MUSLIN. May 14.
We yesterday announced the arrest and COMM ttal
of Mr. Mitchell.
On arriving at Newgate, the governor ushered
him into his apartment, which is in the up-
per story of the prison. Its naked appearance at-
tracted Mr. Mitchell's attention, when the governor
obeerved that the furniture corresponded with the
prison regulations—a straw bed end wooden bench;
but that he would suffer Mr. Mitchell to avail him-
self of any reasonable accommodation he would re-
quire. Accordingly Mr. Mitchell was furni-hed with
a hair mattress, and to-day he was supplied with a
better breakfast than the hard prison fare. A few of
his friends visited him to-day ; but the pressure was
not inconveniently great. Among the earliest were
Messrs. Meagher, Reilly, lloheny, and Reynolds. He
walks about the calm:lots and appears very thought-
fuL His trial for the last offence will take place on
the 20th (seat Saturday). His resolve at present is
to defend himself. His family are allowed free en-
trance to him at all hours, and als ) his friends ; but
the latter are not suffered to visit him in his private
apartment. Smith O'Brien has not yet been among
the sympathising visitants.
It is not to be denied that there is come sym-
pathy for Mitch:ll because of the resirictions to which
he mast necessarily be subject, and partly because
there always ex;s:s in Ireland a sympathy oppowd to
the law; but thie so little a•sune a Shape %Lick
time authorities teel called upimn to deal with, that
the approaches to the prison of this " levier of war"
are unguarded, and the prison is kept by the usual
force. 'Do coun-il of tho Confederation, such of
them as are kuowu to approve of Mr. Mitchell's vio-
knce, seem to be Liken quilts milmtek. They ace touch
chagrined at the li tic excitement, or rather
the übs• nee of it, and probably are unemnfortable also
hemmer they teal no disposition t 3 realise the rem:A
Thrusonbm. They have not yet ile.fideg on what
to be b.at done, but I heard one of the body
ebsermu with some bitterns,, that he believed lir.
Mitchell might be expo rnettd without any effort be'ng
made by the people to prevent it.

Piave by it.

pleted, greatly to the satisfaction of the public.
Tranquillity was re-established. The National
Guard presented to Count Mammiani, the prime
minister, a memorial entreating the government
to assist in the " Holy war, and to aid in the
cause of Italian nationality and independence, and not
to consent to any compromise with Austria, or to
accept peace so long as the flag of that nation floated
south of the Alps."

nounced, had written to Bucharest to inform the
authorities of the match of the Russian troops to-
wards Wallachia, and toe misfortune attendant on
their not allowing Prince Bibesco to resume the

COMPETITION POI THE NEW COINS OF THE
FRENCH REPUBLIC.—Mach difference of opinion has been
exhibited by the critics in Pais on the subject of an exhibi-
tion at the Paris mint of the specimens furnisbei by several
competitors for the future coinage of the republic. In one
point all are agreed, namely, that the exhibition of talent is
mediocre. Is this competition to have the same result as
that of the representation of liberty ? There are 22 compe-
titors, of whom four are described as having chances of
prizes. Of these four, the productions of the first, M Do-
curd, are described as clever, but wanting character. Those
of M. Bane an considered novel and singular. He has
crowned the head of the Republic with a diadem of ten or
twelve children, figuring the abundance and fertility which
must result from &republican government. This species of
emblem is not considered poetic. M. Alard'e work is de

the separation of the children from the female
paupers, and their transmission to an additional
workhouse. The mothers at first would not be re-
moved from their children, but in numbers tumultu-
ously followed them through the streets on their
removal. They were, however, induced to return,
and the affair was ended after the demolition of • few
squares of gloss.
In Carlow the board of guardians have determined
upon employing the paupers in in benne operations,
the making of materials for clothing, &c., and they
calculate in this way upon effecting a larg saving fur
the ratepayer., while they will enable the paupers to
attain industrial knowledge, whereas they now live in
the workhouses either entirely idle, or, if occupied, are
engaged upon unprofitable labour. In a northern
union, upon a farm attached to the workhouse of less
than eight acres, they have reared produce this year
to the value of 1181, and, among other advantages,
have maintained four much cows for the house. The
labour employed in this farm was that of four able-
bodied paupers continually, and the occasional ambit-
nee of some boys belonging to the house. In Athlone
onion the guardians have established a manufacture of
linen and woollen goods for the use of the inmates. The
women spin the yarn, and perform the other mani-
pulations, and the cloth is woven outside the house.
The men, meantime, are engaged in agricultural ope•
rations. They have made bed-rugs of such a demote
fabric, and yet so reasonable in cost, as to have their
work held out by the commissioners, in a general cir-
cular to all the unions, as worthy of imitation. In
the union of Thurlea the gentry appear to have come
to a wise and provident resolution—rather to give
employment than defray the cost of relief. Mr. Car-
den, of Bernane, has intimated to the guardians that
he has employment for 200 labourers in draining, dm. ;
Mr. Ryan, of Inch, will also give employment to a
large number of men and women; and Mr. Trent.
besides affording employmem, is forgiving all
arrears, and otherwise assisting those of his tenantry
who wish to emigrate. If the gentry of the other
poor-law unions throughout Ireland would imitate
this example, we should not hear so much either of
the oppressiveness of the Boor-law or the misery of
the people.
A barge, corn laden, was attacked on the Shannon
a few nights since, and property to the value of 1801.,
carried off. The farmers' houses in the south are
_

attacked almost nightly and robbed of money or pro-
visions. We have the customary number of such attacks
to-day. The parties who commit them are of course
armed, and on Wednesday night last the police dis-
covered some hundreds, doubtless of such vagabond.,
armed and drilling near the wood of Coolnamuck.
The farmers in the neighbourhood complained next
day that their houses had been attacked the previous
night.

the return of prosperity must mainly depend. A clear
and frank report of the actual condition of the treasury
has been again and again demanded of the govern-
ment. The most intelligent parties who have some-
thing at stake, and who, if not republicans of the
rellle, are unquestionably interested in the restoration
of commerce, have supplicated this, but have suppli-
cated in vain. Paragraghe have been, it is true, from
time to time put forth in the ifoniteur, such as
that which I quoted yesterday. in which, after some
statements in figures, more or leas vague, • couleur
de rose has been attempted to be thrown over the
situation, and the statement closes like a melodrama
at the Porte St. Martin, with a blaze of red fire.
Serious commercial men, however, regard these pro-
ceedings with profound regret.
The statement I quoted yesterday from the Masi.
tear has been the subject of conversation among finan-
cial people, to whom it gave little satisfaction, and
affords matter for some severe comment in the journals
of this morning. The portfolio of the state,
given by the government at the estimated amount
of 143 millions, melts down into an astonishingly
small sum under a little examination. It appears
that effects are put into it which no commer-
cial usage justified being there; effects, in fact, not
negotiable, each as mortgages, &o. Government
stock to a large amount is I'LOimproperly there ; and,
what is worse, credited there at a value 40 or 60 per
cent. pater than what it would fetch in the market,
even if it were realisable at all, which, under circum-
stances, it is not. In short, the statement in the
ifoniteur of yesterday is worse than no statement at
all, as all financial statements Nei which?re obscure
and snails.

the religions corporations have given up to the state.
At Bologna, on the 10th, the order given by General
Zucchi during his momentary stay in that town, to
prevent the entrance into the state of General Gari-
baldi, was the cause of some disturbance. A large
meeting took place at the Theatre Contavalli, to deli-
berate on the best course to be followed, and Father
Gavase invited the people for the next day to
the Strada Maggiore ; there, in fact, he preached to
an immense crowd against the measure. A deputa-
tion was sent to General Latour, who answered
that he had only obeyed the orders of General Zucchi,
whom they might question the day following, on his
return from Ferrara; as to himself, he could not
countermand the measure. The town then began to
assume the appearance of a state of siege ; great
excitement reigned among the people, and numerous
patrols were visible in all direction.. Some arrange-
ment, not stated, must, however, have been adopted;
for accounts of a later date announce the arrival of
Garibaldi at Bologna, and his visit to Gen. Zucchi.

A WATCHMAN A6Lier.— W. Baer, 40, was indicted
for stealing two handkerchiefs of the value of one shilling,
from the person of JAMS Iner.—The prosecutor was em-
ployed as a night watchman in the parish of Whitechapel.
fle was on duty on the night of the 27th of July, and being
very tired he sat down on a door-step to rest. He roll asleep,
and about two o'clock in the morning of the 28th he was
roused by a policeman, who bad caught the prisoner in the
set of emptying the old man's bat of its contents. The
prisoner said that he found the bat on the pavement, and was
putting it on the watchmen's head to prevent anybody
stealing it, but as the officer distinctly saw him take out two
handkerchiefs ho conveyed him to the station-house. The
prosecutor, in answer to questions put by the court, said that
he received oe. a week for his duties as watchmen, and to
enable himself to live he had to work in the day time. On
the night in question he w ts, he esid, •• regularly done up,"
or be would not have fallen asleep at his post.—The prisoner
made the same defence to-day as be did to the policeman
when he was taken.—The jury found the prisoner Guilty.

ADDRESS OP LOYALTY TO THE QUEEN.—There was •
special meeting of this body to-day for the purpose of adopt-
ing en address (founded on et rtain resolutions) to het
Majesty, expressive of the loyalty of her subjects in this
corporation, and their reprehene'on of all attempts at excites
ing insurrection in the country.
Alderman STAUNTON roe to move the resolutions which
follow :
Resolved,—That we embrace this present oyportnnity of declaring
that we have never creased to cberiah seatiments of devoted and age*.
donate loyalty to her Majesty's person and throne. That the duty lee
owe to her Majesty has ever been strengthened and enrolee d by the
conviction we have always entertained that her Majesty's ooedact is
discharge of the fiaactioes of her exalted °Moe has been that mantle.
sly of • coneltutional and beneficent sovereign. That we view with
detestation and abhorrence all attempts to excite an irniorrertionary
psi, it In this country, and that measures to urbold the ascendancy d
the laws, and the power and authority of the throne, shill ever
receive our hearty co-operation.
' To this a clause was added, stating that large remedial
measures were necessary, and that the majority of the corpo-
ration had not altered formerly expressed opinions as to their
nature. The worthy alderman, in moving the reseihations,
dwelt upon the extreme adherence to constitutionsil
leges observed invariably by her Majesty, ar.d the utter dis-
approbation and-abhorrence entertained by that eurporation
of the suggestion of any change in the sovereignty of the
country. The sovereign of this country was perfectly •
popular sovereign, and no party desired a republic.
Alderman O'BIUEN, M.P., Lord Mayer elect for the
second time, seconded the resolutions,
Mr. WALKER, in speaking to the resolution., s.qgested
that the loyalty of the majority of the corporation was
doubtful. He moved an amendment, simply suggesting
that a loyal address be presented to the Queen.
The mority of the boasts warmly controverted this, and
Mr. Mc KENNA retorted that the otter side sympathised
with • party which the records of parliament proved to have
determined to set aside her Majesty's succession to the
throne, and had sent an ambassador to Hanover.
Ald. O'BruxN retorted in the strongest terms the chugs
of disloyalty. He had something to lose, and he was deter-
mined to maintain his property and the law against the @pe-
culation@ of madmen, or the schemes of those who might
speculate on a confikcation.
Mr. DRLANEY called it unblushing effroatery to speak oil
the disloyalty of any portion of the house.
The LORD Maros repudiated the insinuation, in the
strongest manner language would permit, that he was die-

COMMERCIAL 4. MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o' Clock. —The continued favourable character
of the accounts from Ireland, assisted by the ap-
pearance of more seasonable weather, has served
to counteract in some degree the apprehensions
still entertained of French interference in Italy.

some time stationary this morning, have now improved

foreign the transactions were very limited, with

The proprietary of the Bank of Flanders held
their half-yearly meeting on Wednesday last, at
Brussels. From the balance sheet presented a
favourable state of affairs was exhibited, which
enabled the directors to declare a dividend at the
rate of 55 per cent., besides carrying an appro-
priate surplus to the reserve fund. As a ' .rge
pyoportion of the capital of this bauk was subscribed.
and is owned in this country, this statement will be
of interest to the proprietary here not present at the

MURDER AT TIIE BRITANNIA BRIDGE, IV! ENAI
STRAITS.—A murder was perpetrated on the night of Fri
day last at the works of the Britannia Bridge. The murdered
man, John Rowlands, apparently thirty years of age, a
watchman in the service of the London contractors for the
bridge now in progress, on Friday evening comagenced his
rounds at the usual hour, John Pritchard, another watch-
man, employed by the Manchester contractors, having
entered on similar duty at the same time and place. It was
arranged that the two watchers should meet at a given point
every half-hour, ring a bell, and report all right or other-
wise. In the course of the night the murdered corpse of
John Rowlands was discovered and reported; and between two
and three o'clock a.m. a gentleman connect, d with the worlui
roused up Lawrence, railway police officer, stationed at the
bridge, and Lansborough, sup, rintendent at Bangor, both
of whom forthwith proceeded to the spot indicated, and
there bound the dead body laid on a stretcher, the brains
having been literally beaten out through a deep wound in
the side of the head. The recount rendered by John
Pritchard was to the following effect • Connected with the
carpenter's shop on the Manchester stage is a privy over-
hanging the sea-water, and to which he had occasion to re-
sort. While there he perceived two men attacking his com-
rade, who resisted; whereupon two other men were called to
their assistance, the language spoken being Welsh. Panic-
stricken, be divested himself of his coat, let himself down in
the water, and remained there in concealment a considcrable
time, It was clearly this man's duty to have raised an
alarm, and taken part with his comrade. For the present
Pritchard remains in custody Funding the inquest. Robbery
does not appear to have been the object of the murderer, for,
although a hut containing hides to make straps for the en-
I pines had been entered and two of those hides deposited out-
side the door, none were abstracted.

Rune v. ETTON.—Excgastvg Diavarsa.—This was an
action to recover damages for an irregular and excessive dis-
tress. The plaintiff is a farmer, who occupied a farm called
Ryton, in this county, from 1840 till 1847. The defendant
is rector of the parish. in 1847 plaintiff left the farm,
and was succeeded by a tenant called Chandlin. Tihre
was an arrear of tithe rent charge due be the
farm, and the question in dispute was, whether the
defendant was right in taking a rick of wheat which the out-
going tenant bad left upon the land to pay the rent charge ;
and if he was right in so taking it, whether it wail not an ex-
cessive distress. The defendant had got one rick of wheat
out of three duly appraised by competent judges, and told it
at a private sale for its full value, without putting the plain-
tiff to any expense ; the plaintiff himself subsequently agreed
to repurchase the wheat for what it sold for, but afterwards
declined doing so, and then brought his action.

the defendant, with leave to move the court above for nomi-

WESTERN CIRCIIIT.—BODIZIN, JULY 31.
Ceows COVIa•
This morning Mr Justice Coleridge took his seat in the
crown court, and in his charge, after some observations on
particular cases for trial, spoke of the proofs which the
statistics of the calendar afforded of the inefficacy, as a
means of present good, of that imperfect education, religious
and general, which is bestowed on the lower orders. He
said such imperfect education is valuable only as a step
in the right Uirection ; but for immediate practical
improvement, religiously or morally, it is ineffectual. This
imperfect education was attended, both to the individuals to
whom it was given and to the public at large, by much the
same kind of inconvenience which resulted to a man in a
state of dim, imperfect light. Such imperfect light served
but to dazzle and mislead ; whereas the man in perfect
darkness at all events would stand still and do no harm. lie
thought, if we looked around us, we should see that many of
the social ills we suffer are attributable to a state of imperfect
education.
