Mr. John Knigh7Doswell,ToliTil;,tie gentleman who
had on the preceding day tendered a document to the pre-
' siding magistrate in the head police office, in defence of
William Burke Kirwan, appeared again this morning as
soon as Mr. Porter had Liken his scat, and said he had an
applica'ion to make to the bench, in reference to the case of
'the convict, and the imputations that were publicly attached
to him, on a charge of his having murdered the late Mr.
Richard Downes Bowyer. It would (continued Mr. Bos-
well) be quite idle to expect that the committee of gentle-
men, who were devoting their attention to the unfortunate
circumstances under which Kirwan was at present labour-
ing, could effect any practical result, whilst the public was
led to believe that ins hands were still red with another
murder. lie (Mr. Boswell) had in his poeseuion, and ho
pledged himself to produce the same—tke most satisfactory
—the most conclusive evidence—to show that this last
accusation against Kirwan was the result of a conspiracy
most foully concreted against him, and he would at once
place documents containing proofs the most convincing in
the magistrate's hands, provided he was promised that •
public investigation should be held in the case. He was
prepared with proofs showing that Mr. Bowyer had, in fact,
died at Killesbandra, county Cavan, in the year 1841, and
that he was buried there.
Mr. Boswell then produced a document from the Rev.
Mr. Martin, protestant sector of Killeshandra, stating that
a person named " Richard Downes Bowyer Blake" had died
and was buried there in November, 1h42.
A certificate from a medical practitioner named Do-
(as (as we understood), resident in the locality above
mentioned was also produced, and stated that the writer
had attended the party in question at Killeshandra in Lis
last illness.
Mr. Porter said be should at once and distinctly refuse
to hold any public investigation, because there was no
complaint whatever against Kirwan as yet pending before
him. The executive branch of the police had received
certain statements, and had acquired a kaowledgc of cer-
tain facts which had from time to time beets verifi:d on
oath before him (Mr. Porter) and other divisional justices.
If Mr. Boswell placed himself in communication with the
Commissioners of Police such documents as those referred
to would perhaps be received by them, and when they
should have be en 'trifled on oath there would not perhaps
exist any objettion to give publicity to the entire of the

circamwmt.,..
Mr. &Nwell, having &dared his intention of waiting
Colonel Browne, rctired from the board-room.

TILE SUZY JOINERS.—These mechanics have sent
is a circular to their employers, claiming an advaner ef 61
per day wages, as the shipwrights have 6i., and they stated
that the ship joiners have always been paid 6d. per day lets
than the shipwrights, the claim being grounded on the fact
that the shipwrights have recently hod their wages ad-
vanced from Gs. 6d. to Gs. per day, in consequence of the
briskness of their business, arising from the emigratien to
Australia.—Li 'pad Courier.
EXPORT OF COTTON AND YARN.—WO have just
been favoured with a statement of the total value of cotton
roods and yarn exported from Liverpool and the Clyde to
Bombay, for each year from 18:0 tr 18.i2 inclusive ; and it
is curious to observe how stationary this branch of our ex-
port trade has continued. In 1810 the total value exported
was 1,163,3/11., and in 1852 it was 1,219.7281. In 1812
the value Ives only 831,024/., and In DM it tom to
4588,3041. The quantity, h iwever, of tho different kini's
of goods exported shows a material variation in different
years, which we shall take another opportunity of adverting
to.—Shipping (hurtle.
