IRELAND.

DUBLIN, JVNE
No tory candidate has yet made his rppearunee in
Clare, and that party are beginning to feel b01:10 ap-
prehension that their champion, Col. Vandelt. ur, af!‘...r
succeeding in breaking the last election, will not try
his chance at the ensuing contest. Things, no doubt,
arc greatly altered since the last election. The tory
party was then in power, and there were motives to
induce the friends of a Derbyite candidate to exert
themselves which do not now exist. The publicity
that has been given to the Marquis of Conyngham
wish that his agent should leave his Clare tenantry
entirely free to vote as they please at the ensuing
election, is also greatly in favour of the liberal inter-
est, while the prestige of the unfortunate Sixmile-.
bridge affair is certainly against Col. Vandeleur ; so
that altogether the chances arc greatly in favour of
the re-election of the liberal candidate.
There is a marked progressive improvement in the
attendance at the Great Exhibition. The number of
visitors admitted yesterday was 8,406, being the
largest on any half-crown day since the opening. No
excursion trains with reference to the Exhibition
have yet been run, or any other extraordinary fa-
cility afforded for the conveyance of strangers to
Dublin.

A dispute resulting in much inconvenience to the
public has existed for a few weeks past between the
Irish northern railway companies, but is now to all
appearance on the eve of adjustment. It appears
that upon the completion of the present temporary
viaduct over the Boyne, and consequently upon the
first opportunity of running a train direct, the entiro
way, between Dublin and Belfast, one of the com-
panies (the Belfast Junction) forming the chain of
communication, thought themselves justified in
raising the fares, upon which the other companies
refused to act in concert with them. Various
complications arose, and loud complaints were heard
in every direction ; bat at length the directors of the
company which had raised the fares resolved to
appeal to the shareholders • and a crowded meeting of
the latter, presided over by the Earl of Charlemont.
was held yesterday, at the company's offices in Dub-
lin, the directors undertaking to abide by the deci-
sion of the meeting. Lord Talbot do jilalahido
wished to have the dispute referred to the decision
of the Board of Trade, but this course was not ap-
proved of; and ultimately, after a very protracted
discussion, a resolution was passed. declaring that
the fares on the line of the Dublin and Belfast Junc-
tion should be at once reduced to the old standard;
and another vote, expressing the confidence of the
shareholders in the prudence of the directors.

"Iwo, by the grace of God, Sovereign Prince of Ar-
menia, Prince of Korfires, Prince de Lusignan, Prins*
of Georgie, Prince of Glum, Duke of rye, Count
d'Almarist and Defender of the Armenian faith. To the Ar-
menians in Turkey—Beloved brothers, and faithful coun-
trymen : Our will and oar ardent wish is, that you should
defend to the last drop of your blood your country and
the Sultan against the Tyrant of the North. Remember,
my brothers, that in Turkey there are no knouts ; they do
not tear your nostrils, and your women are not dogged se-
cretly or in public. Under the reign of the Sultan there is
humanity, while under the Tyrant of the North there are
nothing but atrocities. Therefore place yourselves under the
protection of God and fight bravely for the liberty of your
country and your present sovereign. Pull down your
houses to make barricades, and if you have no
other arms break your furniture and defend your-
selves with it. May H guide you on your path to
glory ! My blessings and prayers shall attend you where-
ever you go. My only happiness will be to fight in the
midst of you against the oppressor of your country and our
creed. May God incline the Sultan's heart to sanction my
demand, because under his reign our religion remains in
its pare form, while under the Northern Tyrant it will be
altered. Remember ut lean, brothers, that the blood that
runs in the veins of him who now addresses you is the blood
of twenty kings, it is the blood of Nero% Lusignans, and de-
fenders of our faith; and we say to you let us defend our
creed and its pure form until our last drop of blood.

proving the bill was put ant carried by a very large amount
of prezies—only one shareholder being present.

AMERICA.

The New York papers received by the Franklin,
contain the following items of intelligence :
The steam-tug Eclipse bunt her boiler, at Chicago, on
the let inst. The explosion was terrific, tearing the boat
entirely to pieces, killing a firemen and boy, and severely
injuring the engineer, cook, whe, linen, and one deck hand.
The captain was also slightly injured. The boilers were
new, and the boat, which was owned by Mr. E. R. Black-
well, of Buffalo, and Captain S. M. Johnson, of Chicago,
was valued at 10,000 dole. The engineer's life is despaired
of. Ile was dragged out of the engine-room after the ex-
plosion, terribly scalded.
Oa the 3rd, Baltimore and its vicinity were visited by a
tornado, which unroofed various buildings, destroyed walls,
uprooted , and did considerable other damage. The
storm arose very suddenly, and it is feared did great
damage to the shipping in the river and bay. So far as we
were able to ascertain, the rain, which commenced falling
is torrents here about half-past 11 o'clock, did no other
damage than to destroy various awnings, and compel tele-
graphic operators to suspend work.
The legislature of Maryland closed its labours on Tuesday
night. The act of most g I importance pursed during
the session was one chartering the Baltimore and European
Steam Navigation Company.
Advice, from Havana to the 26th ult. bad been received.
It was supposed that the Spanish and English commission
to investigate the cue of the slave brig Core, would con-
demn her at a prize to the British cruiser, by which she
was captured. No fresh cargo of slaves had been landed
since our previous accounts, although the famous slaver,
Lady Suffolk, wis daily expected to make her appearance.
Recent accounts from Africa announce that the British
naval officers were actively engaged in endeavouring to
prevail upon the principal negro chieftains to abandon the
traffic in slaves. One of the hitherto most notorious and
successful dealers of the kind, the King of Kabendi, had
been induced to sign a treaty pledging himself to give up
the business. The English cruisers were on the look-out
for a vessel engaged in the slave trsde, called the Cumargo,
which lately made her appearance off Zanzibar.

ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB.

This aspiring rival to the " Royal Thames," which
has beengradnally progressing in public estimation since,
in 1846, it obtained the privilfte of embroidering the City
arms on its Begs, to whisk were added, in 1849, the national
emblem of the "Blue Peter," held its second match for the
season yesterday, at the old starting ground off Brith. The
inenceuvres of the little squadron, although held in mull-
derable ocatempt by seamen of the " blue water," yet pos-
sessed • considerable amount of interest. The graceful
proportions of the miniature visa the_py company, the
exeellent music of the • usher the direction of

both to the initiated and the uninitiated quite sufficient ex.
citement to make the day peas over with eclat. The swirl-
lived button was sported extensively among the company,
who assembled on board the Meteor at an early
Dour in the morning, and the general expression
of oonntenance indicated • perfect readiness to force the
Dardanelles or demolish the Russian fleet, should Admirals
Dundee sad La Suisse fail in that praiseworthy object.

INTELLIGENCE.

There was comidenble activity in bovines reported
throughout the United States at the time of the departure
of the Niagara.
The conditioa of the money market at New York was
highly satisfactory, with a decided tendency toward. further
improvement, owing to affairs generally being in a more
flourishing condition than at the last advice.. An increase
in the firmness of stocks was reported.
The market for breadstuff. was active, and there was
great firmness reported in prices. The following are the
present quotations : Western Canal flour, 4 dol.. 75c. to
4 dole. 871 c. per barrel; Ciennessee prime wheat, 1 dol. 24e.
to 1 dol. 2GO. per 601 b. • Indian corn, round yellow, 64e. to
66c. per bushel; Indian meal, 2 doll. 8710. to 3 dots. per
barrel.

There had been a fair average amount of business doing
in cotton at New York, the previous quotations having been
steadily maintained. At the time of the departure of the
mail the following were the rates: New Orleans and Mobile,
mid. fair to fair, 120. to 121 e. per lb. ; Uulands, mid. fair to
fair, 111 e. to per lb. The excess of receipts over those
of last year now amounted to 350,000 bales.
There is no 'iteration to report in the state of the pro-
vision market, end holders showed no inclination to recede
from the prices previously obtained.
At the steamer's departure the price of freights as pre-
viously quoted remained unchanged, the asking rates
being: Freight of flour to Liverpool, 2s. 6d. to 2s. 9d. per

REACTIONARY RISING AT FRIBOURG.

A telegraphic despatch states that on April 22 the
reactionary party got up a serious esneute at Fri-
bourg
" Three or four hundred peasants, headed by CoL
Perrier, got possession of the College. The fight was
severe. There are many killed and wounded. Col.
Perrier is severely wounded. Almost all his followers
are made prisoners. Two columns of insurgents gave
way. The civic guard is everywhere victorious. All
is over."

It to to be presumed from this despatch that the
partisans of the Sonderbund, seeing Switzerland me-
naced simultaneously by Prussia and Austria, thought
the moment favourable for trying a coup-de-main.

HOLLAND.

BRUSSELS, FRIDAY.
I have just been informed by a gentleman from
Amsterdam, worthy of the fullest confidence, that
party feeling runs so high in Holland that serious
apprehensions of disturbances are entertained. Pub-
lic opinion is greatly divided, so much so that nume-
rous Roman catholic" have signed the addresses
against the establishing of the Roman catholic
hierarchy, and numerous protestant., on the other
hand, including many protestant clergymen, warmly
disapprove of the King'. conduct. Such apparent
anomalies admit of explanation. Many Roman ca-
tholics, whilst sincerely attached to their religion,
are not disposed to allow their country to be made
the theatre of papal intrigue; many protestant.,
while opposed to the Pope, objeet to any tampering
with the liberal constitution of the kingdom on the
ground that that constitution admits of papal en-
croachments. In fact, since the King's famous decla-
ration the other day, that, contrary to his will, he
was bound by the constitution, much alarm
has arisen in the minds of all stanch con-
stitutionalists, and some apprehensions of
a coup d'etat have even been expressed,
a fact which proves nothing so much as the intense-
ness and susceptibility of public feeling at this mo-
ment. However, it is certain that an imposing
number of troops was stationed, the other day, in
the vicinity of the second chamber, and that the
withdrawal of these troops was recommended, in a
certain quarter, on the ground that the communal
guard were dissatisfied with that military display.
t is believed that the adjournment will be followed
by a dissolution, so that ministers may have a chance
of obtaining a majority in the new parliament.
Some of the leading members of the present cabinet
are men having what is called in Holland and Germany
pretist tendencies, and who are, at the same time,
warm upholders of royal prerogatives. Van Hall
himself may be set down as a re-actionist in politics.
He was the intimate friend and confidential adviser
of William the First, and it is feared that he is not
so warmly attached to the constitution as sound
liberals would wish him to be. It may be stated
that he has considerable influence on 'Change, and
that he is looked up to by monied men.

Sin,—Dr. Denison of Salisbury was, he boasts,
the first to place himself under the act of 1850, and take a
fixed stipend of 5,900/. a year, instead of an irregular in-
come averaging 6,7371 ; and, at least, one other bishop—
Dr. Pepys, of Worcester—has done the same.
So far so good : but Dr. Maltby, of Durham, is the great
offender ; and I thit.k it is important the public should
know whether he also has submitted to take the fixed
stipend of 8,000/. a year, which parliament intended the
bishops of Durham should receive, or whether he is still
going on taking 16 or 20,009/. a year ? YOllll,

SOUTH STAFFORDSRIRE RAILWAY.

A special meeting of the shareholders in this com-
pany was held yesterday, at the Queen's Hotel, in Bir-
mingham; Mr. R. C. CHAWNER in the chair. The object
was to take the opinion of the shareholders on the subject
of a bill now before parliament conferring " extension. of
time powers on this company, for the purchase of lands and
completion of works," as authorised by the company's act
of 1847 ; the main object in view is to obtain time for the
construction of a line scenes Cannock Chase, a part of the
original South &Affordable.. Aches., hat f... tun. Abu,
tioneu. Tim heads of the bill haying been read,
Mr. JOHN WILLIAMS, the ironmaster, moved an adjourn-
ment, on the ground of the insufficiency of publicity of the
notice of this meeting.
Ultimately it was agreed to call another meeting in a
fortnight; in the meantime circulars to be seat to all the
shareholders with the view to insure a more numerous at-
tendance, and until such meeting has taken place the pro-
moters not to go beyond the first reading in the House cf
Lords.

SWITZERLAND.

The National Gazette of Berlin states that the
Austrian charge d'affmres will return to Berne on
the Ist of July, and that M. Ste;ger, Swiss char*
d'affaires at Vienna, having given an assurance that
the political refugees will be removed from Ticino,
the blockade will be raised at the same time. This
statement may be liable to rectification as to date,
but the restoration of a better understanding between
the two states is a fact beyond question. The recent
concentration of Austrian troops near the Swiss
frontier does not appear to have the character of a
demonstration against the republic.

HOME CIRCUIT.

As some very incorrect statements have been pub-
lished with regard to the days appointed for this circuit in
the different counties, which may be productive of a good
deal of inconvenience to jurors, witnesses, &c., it may be
necessary to state that the following are the arrangements
actually made:—

TII E F.X-CIIAMPIoN OF FM MANI). —On Thlitedtly
night last, about 12 o'clock, " Bendigo," the ca-champion,
jumped out of a window of the house in which he his been
lately residing is Nottingham, and ran nearly naked into
the market-place, where he smashed a number of panes in
the windows of the police 'dike. This soon aroused the
attention of the police, who immediately wens to the spot.
The pugilist then made off, and it was a considerable time
li, fire he could be secured. He was very violent, and his
legs had to be strapped and the handcuffs placed upon his
wrists ere he oould be conveyed to the police station. It is
supposed he is labouring under insanity, and we understand
that be has since been taken to a lunatic asylum.

BIRMINGHAM PROTESTANT ALLIANCE.

The following letter, with the memorial therein-
mentioned, has been sent to Hord Palmenton by the above
society. A great number of petitions for the inspection of
nunneries have been signed in Birmingham and the neigh-
bourhood, and are to be presented in time for the debate on
Mr. Chambers' Bill.
" Birmingham, June 17, 1853.
My Lord,—We have the honour to forward to yiur
lordship, from the Birmingham Protestant Alliance, a
ladies' memorial to the Queen for the inspection of nun-
neries. It is 124 yards in length, and bears 10,500 signs•
tures. Had time admitted this memorial would have been
much more numerously signed. If the inspection of nun-
neries
is refused now, it will immediately become a grave
question whether the people will rest satisfied with any-
thing short of their entire suppression.—We have the
honour to remain your lordship's faithful servants, J. 0.

ITALY.

In the Milan Gazette Radetzsky announces that
committees are appointed to attend to the claims of
third parties on the sequestrated estates. The com-
mittee for Lombardy will sit at Milan, and another
for Venetia at Venice. This procedure will be ad-
ministrative, and no court of law will be able to
interfere with their decisions. Appeals from the
judgment et the committees will be received only by
the Minister of the Interior.

Letters from Turin of the 15th notice a singular
fact. The committee appointed to administer the
fund lately voted by the Piedmonteso Chamber for
the assistance of emigrants whu suffer by the Aus-
trian sevestration decree was sitting daily, under
the presidency of Count Siccardi, but not a single
1 emigrant had to the 15th applied for a loan.

EAST LANCASHIRE RAILWAY.

A special general meeting of this company was
held at Bury, near Manchester, yesterday afternoon, to
consider the draft of two hills now before parliament, one
of which is a bill to extend the East Lancashire Railway
from Clifton (where it now joins the Lancashire and York-
shire) to Manchester, a distance of four miles; and the
other bill is one to extend their railway to Southport and
Rainford, and to make arrangements with the St. Helen's
Canal and Railway Company.
Resolutions approving of the bills were moved by the
chairman, and after a short address from Mr. D. Price, who
ridiculed the notion of tho Clifton and Manchester Eaten-
lion being constructed for anything like the money contem-
plated, they were passed by a large meeting with only one
dissentient.

GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION.-THE OCEAN
MAIL TO INDL4 AND AUSTRALIA.

Yesterday the enterprising proprietors of the
Gallery of lliustration—Messrs. Grieve and Telbin—opened
another diorama of an extremely interesting and popular
nature, the subject brirg the route of the (keen Mail, 14.2-
the Cape, India, and Australia. The success which attended
the dioramic representation of the Overland Mail to India
bass naturally induced the artiste to exert their abilities in
the promotion of an object characterised by similar peculia-
rities, and although the present theme is not quite so imme-
diately suggestive of interesting place. and well known inci-
dents, the effect of yesterday's exhibition was abun-
dantly sufficient to show that the public will be
as willing to make an acquaintance with India
and Australia by means of this ocean mail, as they were
with the various prominent localities indicated in the over-
land journey to the East. The tableaux exhibited in this
diorama commence with a representation of Plymouth
Sound, and end with a view of the gold fields of Mount
Alexander, the various objects of interest which are seen by
the vomitr being prominently depicted, and well described
by Mr. Stocqueler, who is engaged, as before, in the charac-
ter of descriptive lecturer. Amongst the most interesting
places seen or touched at on the voyage end represented in
the diorama are Madeira, Santa Crux, Sierra Leone,
Isle of Ascension. Saint Helena from the Sea,
Napoleon's residence at St. Helena, Napoleon's Tomb,
Cape Town, Table Bay, Cape of Good Hope, Mauritius,
Point de Galle, Ceylon, Pulo Penang or Prince of Wales's
Island, Singapore, Batavia, Sydney, Mount Victoria, and
the various spots which have become associated in our minds
with the explorations of the gold seekers. All the places
we have mentioned, and many more, are most effectively,
and, it can hardly bo doubted, faithfully rendered ; and
those who are less fond of travelling than of living "at
home at ease" and profiting by the travels of others may,
by a visit to this diorama, enjoy an agreeable journey to
India and the Land of Gold at little more expense for con-
veyance than that of an omnibus ride. The mechanical
effects which are introduced to give vitality to the scenes
are very skilfully contrived ; and the entertainment, on the
whole, may well be described as worthy of the artistic efforts
of those who formerly pictured the " Route of the Over-
land Mail to India."

INSPECTION OF NUNNERIES.

Yesterday a deputation from the Protestant Al-
liance had an interview with Lord Palmerston, at the Home-
office, to present an address to her Majesty from the general
committee of that body in favour of the inspection of

I Th. Earl of SHAFTESBURY having read the address,
Lord PALMERSTON observed that it he were asked for his
own individual opinion upon the general question, it would
agree very much with those which had just been indicated,
and he added that the government would give all proper
attention to the present memorial to her Majesty.
The deputation having thanked his lordship for their
reception, then withdrew.

GERMANY.

Letters from Berlin of the loth and 17th agree in
mentioning a note which the Prussian cabinet her
just despatched to Paris, London, Vienna, and St.
Petersburg, respecting the Turkish question.
The German papers tell of reinforcements and
munitions sent by the Austrian government to the
southern fortresses situate in the midst of the Sclavic
populations. It is natural, under present circum-
stances, to connect these precautions with the ap-
prehension of troubles in that quarter.

CHINA.

The Orerland Friend of China, in its general
summary, thus chronicles and comments on the
events which took place previous to the despatch of
tho mail.

We expressed an opinion in our lost overland
paper to the effect that we thought the probabilities
were that the Honourable Humphrey Marshall,
United States Commissioner in China, would see that

it was the best policy to allow things to take their
course, and in no way to show to one side more
favour than to the other. We have been disap-
pointed in Colonel Marshall, who has proved to his
eulogists that "he is not a man to shirk responsi-
bility," and at the same time has given impartial
observers reason to believe of his diplomacy that
its exemplification savours of " raw Yankee." The
Susquehannah, as before mentioned, reached Shang-
bee on Sunday, the 27th of March, and found his
excellency Sir George Bonham exercising that laissez
faire policy which, no doubt, while congenial to
himself, will prove most acceptable to Downing-
street levers of ease. Whether or not the two en-
voys had an interview, we do not know. Commu-
nication any way will have been brief; for, on
Tuesday, Sir George started for Ningpo, returning
to Shanghae on Saturday, as the Colonel was
leaving in the Susquehannah on an intended trip
to Nanking. For a week previous to this period
rumours were rife in Shanghae that Nanking
was in possession of the rebel army ; but
although only distant some 150 miles or so, with a
water communication to within five miles of the

walls, nothing certain was, nor is there at the pre-
sent time, so far as we are advised, known on the point.
One thing, however, was apparent, that the Shang-
hae Taoutae had led the Viceroy to believe that di-
rectly foreign war steamers arrived from the south
they would proceed, as requested, to the assistance
of the beleaguered city. The mere appearance, there-
fore, of the Susquehannah anywhere on the river
above Shanghae, was calculated to raise the hope. of
the imperialists, and to depress those of the insur-
gents ; who, if succeeding, will, with justice, be dis-
posed to feel ill will, without discrimination, towards
all foreigners in the Celestial Empire.
The exasperation of the insurgents at what they
deem general foreign interference being currently
believed at Shanghae, it became a measure of com-
mon prudence on the part of our Superintendent to
intimate to the new government the exact pailtion
in which foreigners stand , and on Saturday, the 9th
inst., Mr. Meadows, interpreter at the Shanghae
consulate, started for Suchow, there, we suppose,
intending to take the grand canal and proceed direct
into the insurgent camp. The action on Mr. Mea-
dows' part is bold, and will doubtless be properly
appreciated by her Majesty's government. Two
days prior to his departure the answer made by her
Majesty's plenipotentiary to the Taoutae's applica-
tion for assistance wan thus notified to the foreign
community :
London, England, 1853-06-21

DENMARK.

The Danish government has commenced its task
in the new Diet by gaining a victory. M. Rottwitt,
the ministerial candidate, has been elected president
of the Volks-Thing by 58 against 23 votes. All
appearances indicate that the government will carry
its succession projects in the present session, the
opposition being convinced that its labours would in
the end remain fruitless.

TAUNTON.

Yesterday Hannah .Newton "deposed sho heard
Rawlings say to F►rmer, a voter, " I've got something for
you," putting, appare►tly, money in hie hand—two eon-
rcittna, and asking him to vote fir Sir J. Ramsden.
Thomas Bawl% said Pitman asked him who he was going
to vote for. and on witness replying " for llidcock,"
man +Aid, " Don't, and I'll give vou that (huldiaq up his
ten fingers) if you'll go sway ;" but be was so closely
watched by the other side that he could not.
Thomas Smith deposed that he was hired by Itswlings,
mid paid by King, to bold up hi. hands at the nomination,
and some lurther evidence woo elated to prove agency.
Mr. Magiu!ay was occupied until the rising of the gam-
Mitten in summing up the case for the petitioners.
