BALLINASLOE FAIR.

Teem the FM.llOlO'l Jetinal.]
BALutraimot, Thursday Eyed. g.—The fair com-
menced this day, and I regret to state with but gloom, pros-
pects as to the results to the stock:masters. Although there
was what might be termed an appearance of buyers, still
purchasers were extremely cautious in bidding. owing to the
generally depressed state of the times. No sales were
effected till about 11 o'clock, a.m. Ewes were fa the fairest
I demand, and brought prices at rates somewhat approaching
to those of lit year; bat
at from three to six a head.
weddersiftoftes) were uader last
yeses figures
The fair, on the whole, was excessive y slow up to two
o'clock, and the sales comparatively trifling. I have been
attending the fair of Ballinsaloe for the last twelve or thir-
teen years, and n witnessed such indifferent prospects,
nor heard such general complaints on the part of breeders of
stock. Talking to one of the most eminent of the class in
the provisos of Connaught to day, he assured me that not
one of every ten acne of land in the county of Mayo was
cultivated or Let out for pasture, but wee (to use his own
words) to be cuspated to a wilderness, the middle class of
farmers being obliged to give up their lands from want of
capital either to till or graze them. Some lots of prime fat
sheep, however, brought rather fair price under the circum-
stances. Mr. Burton Parsee, of Moyode Castle, for a top lot
of wedders (110 in number) got We. rack ; a second lot
(200), 43e. ; and thirds, 39e. 6d.; and for a top lot of ewes
(100), 34e. Mr. James Smyth, of Mason Brook. got 48s for
his top lot of Incident', and 42e. ler his second. Mr. Tuffs's
top lot of wedders (120) brought 48e. ; second do , 461. ; and
a top lot of old ewes (100). 375. 6d.; and second do., 30e.
D'Arey's top lot wedders (201), 465. ; second do., 425. ;
top let ewee,32a. Mr. MP mogh's top lot wedden, 40..;
ditto, ewes, ; and Mr. Irwin got 43e. for 200 wedders
from Mr. Buxton. Mr. Pair's top lot of wedden brought
415., and second do., 365. ; for a top lot of ewes (210) he pot
30a; mead de. (100), 26i. Sir Thomas Burke 's top lot of
wedders (200) sold at 385.; and searad do. (260) at 34e.
Lord Danaandk's top lot (200), 341. 6d. ; second do. (100),
275. 6d.
The above shows the rates of the higher claws of stock,
but the middle kinds of wielders were far short of last year's
priews. Ewes of every description were in better demand.
As to the atUadanee at the fair it may be stated that one-
fourth the leffigings in the town are not let—the inhabitants

TRADE AND NAVIGATION.

ACCOUNTS OF THE BOARD OF TRADE FOR THE
MONTH ENDING SEPT. 6, 1849.
These accounts were published yesterday.
EXPORTS.
They again exhibit a most remarkable increase in
the export trade of Great Britain. The declared value
of our exports stands as follows :
For eight months ending Sept. 6,1849 .... £39,203,322
For „ /I 1848 .... 31,833,214

Increase £ 7,670,108
Upon the month the increare is proportionate!
still greater:
For the month ending Sept. 6, 1849 £ 6,323.457
For „ IP 1848

£1,815,995

It thus appears that daring the put month the
export trade of England has increased nearly two
millions in comparison with the trading during the
same period of last year ; and that on the year gene-
rally there has been an increase of upward of seven
millions and a half!

It will be seen from the following tabular state-
ment that the increase is not partial or confined to
any particular trade, but is shared by every branch
of manufacturing industry throughout the empire.
The only articles in which there is a trifling defi-
ciency are bricks and salt, and the deficiency is those
cases probably arises from accidental causes.

BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS BILL.

The honielWriiegieurelniocom
Sir J. PAKINGTON said that efler the decisively expressed
opinion of the house against the declaration which wu pro-
posed to be made by hon. members at the table, he now
merely wished to give notice that he intended to abandon
the two other declarations in the bill, that at the hustings
and that by the agents of niembers, and that although he
first thought of abandoning the bill altogeber, yet in d, for-
mes to the opinions of other hon. gentlemen he would ro-
oted with the remaining portions of it on a future day. It
would, however, still be in the power of bon. gentlemen
wit, wished to preserve thou declarative classes to oppose
their being struck out. He had now only to move that the
chairman report progress, and eek leave to sit again.

Colonel SiBT11011.1" said that the bill ought to be with-
drawn altogether. He had undento^d from the hon.
baronet that he did not intend proceeding further with it. He
would believe nothing more he heard on that subject, but
would henceforth watch the measure in that house as a e.t
would watch a 131411.10—(1sughter); for if such a bill were
curled hon. members would no longer know where they
were. (Laughter.)

Mr. V. SMITH thought the course proposed by the
hon. baronet would not be a convenient one, and suggested
in lieu of it either that he should separately print the clauses
he intended to omit, or bring in a new bill containing only
those which proposed to press upon the house.
Sir J. PAKINGTON said that he should only proceed
with the latter Iran of the bill, abandoning the declarations.
These might be negatived when the bill was recommitted,
and he should then proceed with the bill from claws 6.
Mr. GREENE thought the better course would he to
move to strike out the earlier clauses now, before the chair
man reported progress.
Sir 7. PASINGTON concurring, clauses 1 and 2 were
struck out. _

01aclawe 3,
Col. SIBTLIORP moved that the chairman should report
pro , apparently supposing that the bill wu being pro-
ceeded with; but, after the real position of the matter was
explained to the bon. end gallant member, he withdrew his
amendment.
Oa clause 4,

Mr. 8. CRAWFORD misted the motion, that it be
struck out, and moved that the chairman should have the
chair.

Sir J. PAKINGTON again explained the object of the
proceeding.

Mr. CRAWFORD said he wished to take such steps as
should secure the rejection of the bill, if the proposed de-
claration to be made by members were struck out.
Clauses 4 and 6 being struck out, the house resumed, and
leave was given for the committee to sit again on Wed-
nesday, the 6th of June.
ATTACHMENTS, COURTS OF RECORD (IRELAND)

The hams then went Into ,ronittee on this bill.

Mr. REYNOLDS proposed amendments in several of the
clauses, which were agreed to, and some new clauses were
added.

The bill pained through committee, and the house re
armed. The report was ordered to be received on Friday.

GERMANY.

THE INSURRECTION IN SAXONY.
According to accounts (in journals unfavourable to
the cause of the insurrection) from Dresden, up t 3 the
amino= of the 6th instant, the Saxon troops,: aided
by their Premien auxiliaries, were in palmed= of
the so-called New Town, the Elbe bridges, the
Bral-terrace, the palace, and the arsenal. The Old
Opera-house had been destroyed by fire.
Some of the journals deny that the insurgents see-
gelid in obtaining possession of some *see of
emu, and that any of the troops peasioverts
their side. During the eth inst. the Hotel
d• Saxe, and another house near the Old Opera,
were battered down by the artillery. Another
Prussian battalion was expected to arrive in Deaden
ea the evening of the etb. The majority of the
insurgents wear red ceps and other insignia of mai-
licanisen. Arnold Rugs, one of the leaders, Wild fbr

towns, including Bautzen, Gorilla, and Lobe',
have acknowledged the provisional government, but
Leipsie is still vacillating, so far at least u 'he au-
thorities are concerned. The commander of the
troops in Dresden is Colonel Beaulieu*, minister of
war. The communication between the !vital and
the fortress of Konigstein, whither the king fled, is
bet* up daily by means of a steamer.
On the evening of the 6th inst. the insurrection
broke out with redoubled violence in Lsipsic, and •
sanguinary' collision took place between the repub-
limas and a portion of the civic guard. Prussian
troops were expected in that town a
Early on the morning of the 6th int. the insmr-
commenced an attack on the troops, and the
contest raged unremittingly till mid-day, the troops
taking some barricades. During the day lei-
naval limiting, of the Artillery, and some other
officers, were shot dead. The cabinet of natural his-
tory has fallen a prey to the flames. The military
authorities have ordered that all pawns taken in
arms be immediately shot.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, MAT 9.
Your political crisis attracts scarcely ai.y attention
here. There is a profound apathy upon all political
subjects, and questions of free trado do not move this
community. In other times the name of a Stanley
government would stir up the wrath of the Irish
public, but for the present politics here are almost for-

- -
gotten.
It was rumoured that the state prisoners would be
removed to London during the arguments in their
cue; bet up to last evening no order for their re-
moval had arrived. The prisoner Martin has much
[ improved in health.
Archbishop IsltHale has acknowledged the receipt
of near 4001. for the relief of the poor in his diocese.

Mnitnen.—On Monday evening the widow of
Diniel Murphy, of Teerealten, near Macroom, about eighty
years of age, was brutally murdered in her own house, and
several articln belonging to her taken therefrom, including
a gold ring with her initials. The @append perpetrator is a
man of the name of William Murphy, living on the lands,
whose brother works with a son of the deceasid. Alter
having been murdered the woman was put into her bed, the
room door clew), the kitchen door !ricked, and the key taken
away. As nobody lived with her, it was not until the even-
ing of the next day that she wss discovered. On some very
slight suspicion Murphy was arrested, when the ring and
several other articles belonging to the deceased were found
on his person. A few minutes before being arrested, when
the corpse was discovered, he went to the house and
feigned to cry over the mangled body of the deceased.
Informations were also lodged against him and a relative
of his named Duggan, for sheep-stealing, on the clearest
evidence. Duggan is in custody, and the sheep restored
to the owner. Neither person or property can be consi-
dered safe in the pariah of Kilmichael, which is so often the
scene of theft and murder.—Cork Examiner.

SPAIN.

MADRID, BUT 4.

Since my last communication, no political occur-
rence has taken place. The news from Catalonia be-
COMM daily more favourable for the government.
Within a very short period, upwards of 2,500 in-
surgents have laid down their arms, and tendered
their submission. The late rising on the frontiers of
Portugal and Galicia has not been vet suppressed ;
but the authorities there do not attach the smallest
importance to the movement.
The new tariff project has been approved of by the
council of ministers.
The committee of Spanish bondholders from Paris,
under the presidency of Count Rawnsan, will soon
begin their up-hill labours. It is to be feared that
their efforts will not be productive of much good to
the foreign creditor. M. Moo, the minister, u I
stated in my lest, has commenotd already to prepare
' his ground of defence, by a leading article in homer
of Wednesday, the Pay.. If there be at this
moment insurmountable difficulties in the way of an
equitable settlement, he, the minister, by his own act,
has brought the embarrassment on himself and upon
the country. I refer to his famous conversion in 1844
of the fleeing debt to a consolidated debt, the which
was unjust, because it was partial, and to the exclu-
sion either foreign creditor ; it was improvident, be-
cause he created a perpetual debt of 18,000,0001.,
bearing interest 540,0001., in order to wipe off a float-
ing debt of very questionable origin, and which was
not due in part for many succeeding yearn, of
8,500,0001., bearing interest only 140,0001., and all
this without the sanction of the Spanish parliamemt,
and for the benefit of the jobbers and contractors of
Madrid. The extra 400,0001. which has been an-
nually paid since 1844, could it now be at his disposal,
would be found a good basis to work upon for the
benefit of the foreign creditor. But it is gone, and
the difficulty lies *bete to noddle substitute.

THE ROYAL ACADEMY.
IeCCOND MOTICI.]
A new race of punters sprang up in this country
with the decoration of the New Houses of Parliament.
Some foreboded from this movement the downfall of
the exquisite home subject, for which the country had
become so renowned, and the excellence of which had
been crowned by Wilkie. Tuffs artist's eminent
qualities had made him so independent of the charm
of colour, that the graver alone had sufficed to give
him European reputation. Others, on the contrary,
looked to immense achievements by the English
school, when it should have added the perfection of
drawing to its own original colour.
Amongst those who strove boldest for these com-
binations of perfection was Mr. Cope. Ho has three
pictures in the present exhibition: "Fires:4e Musings,"
"The First-born," and " Griselda's First Trial," a car-
toon for the House of Lords. They severally display
an amount of excellence which gees far to proclaim
possible the solution siughtby the critics. We find the
sanctity of R iphael's early din rings in the first men-
tioned subject, mere ly a young girl with foot on a
fender: the head and shoulders are fine enough for
an antique cameo. Griselda, fainting at the lc as of
her child, has the wire-drawn contour necessary for
fresco: the compzetion of the group in the fore-
round is finely conceived. In the "First-born" the
maternal eye is fixed on her "infant prodigy"—
prodigy in every sense, the foreshortening of whose
little head is equal to its colour. The anxiety to kiss,
and the fear of awakening, are both unmistakeably
rendered.
Although Dyee's sketch for a fresco is striking.
the stiff lady is blue is an old acquaintance.
Mr. Armitage has impressed • canvas with
Ausonian gloom. The sadness is not only in the
visages of the well•known diameters of the Triniti di
Monti; but also in the face of the eastern princess
come to London, with the see word—" Gilbert." Sad-
ness is indeed the motive power in Mr. Armitage's
compositions. Thus, in this version of the I Beckett
legend, instead of introducing us to the happy meet
Mg of the lovers, the moment chosen is that in which
the children point tawards the house of " Gilbert."
We do not know how far this may be allowable; but
' in the present cue the difficulty of rendering this
' slender phase of action is well overcome; the claildre
, show a careful perception of playfulness, as they i
a ray of hope to the mind and visage of the he et'
. The colouring may be thought sombre, as is'

DISTRESSED NEEDLEWOMEN'S SOCIETY.

On Saturday a public meeting of this society took
place at the Hanover.equess Rooms, Alderman Farebrother
in the chair.
The report stated that sine* the constitution of this
society then have been only three MCC of distressed needle- ,
women brought before the police courts for pawning. and
under eircumstanoes of distress. By recent returns of the
City prison statietice, it appears that there are now no com-
=MAL of needlewoensn to the walls of Newgate for offences
iocidentol to the distressed porition of their calling. And
the society hes not observed a single recorded
instance of the suicide of a distressed needlewoman
from despair at the ill requited price of her labour.
The society also took credit to itself for having made the au-
thorities of the different workhouses acquainted with the fatal
evils which the system of workhouse contracts for needlework
was proiucing, and it was no small gratification to them
to find that their endeavours had been attended with a sac-
awful result. The society, however, discovered that the
umeleaneful system of cortracts for needlework was ennead
in prisons. They foetid that the prisoners were 'employed in
needlework, not to clothe one another, and, by the saving of
expense to the state, to acquire a little fund to keep them
from the necessity of crime, when they should have com-
pleted the period of their imprisonment, but for the
use and benefit of the contracting and cheapening t
r
a
il
smToe effect of this system was to enable the contractors to re-
duce the prim paid to those labourers who desired to keep
themselves from the Mangle! of crime. Unfortunately the
society had not been so suceessfel in putting an end to this
evil, which was ever a more glaring interfetynce with the
tree-labour market than the system pursued in workhouses.
Determined, however, as far as in their power, to remove
this crying evil, the society sought to obtain, through parlia-
ment, the boon they had pleaded for, on behalf of the
distressed needlewomen, end Lord Robert Grosvenor had
signified hie intention of bringing the subject bfore the House
of Common..
It appeared from the financial statement that the funds
received by the society from its commencement to the pre-
sent time have been for 6I years, 2,5641. 2s. • and the total
payments of the society, 2,5171. 2s. Id. • whilst the balance
due from the society to the subscriber., lifter the payment of
debts, was 171. 3.. The managerill expenses for 6e years
(including advertisements, printing, &c.) have only amount-
ed to the stun of 5121. 38. 2d.—not being at the rate of 1001.
per annum. The committee, theeslore, cannot but congra-
tulate the society and the public that it has effected so mach
good with so small an mount of pecuniary means.
Certain routine business having been gene through in fur-
therance of the objects of the society, the meeting separated.

GERMANY.

PRUSSIA.—Our correspondent writes :
BERLIN, MAY 24.
The news of my last letter concerning the abrupt
termination of the diplomatic conferences at Berlin on
the German question is c3mpletely confirmed. For
the rest there is no longer any attempt made to con-
ceal this immensely important fact from the public, to
whom it is revealed clearly is the columns of the mi-
nisterial organ.
It seems from the beginning of these conferences
Prokeach-Osten, the Austrian ambassador, although
not furnished by his government with credentials
act as plenipotentiary in the German question, well
always present. This diplomatic gentleman wit-
nessed, therefore, the whole proceedings, and what is
more, approved them. Bat when it came to the
signing of the constitution and electoral law of the
empire, which were to be given out together, Pro-
kesch declined the pen, confessing that he was not
accredited with full powers. The King was in a fine
fury about title, and sent immediately Baron
von Kanitz to Vienna, where he had fur'
merly acted as Prussian minister, in craw
to get the job settled there. But Baron Ten Kends
has returned, as they say here, nit der !anger hoe
his mission, in short, has not sped. Novv, what
M. Lerchenfeld beheld the long noes and short success
of Baron Kanitz, he was seized with sadden qualms
and scruples stint signing also. In fact, it w!la
clear that the Bavarian envoy bad orders to steer in
the wake of the Austrian. The King of Prussia was
naturally prepared for the refusal of Anglia, the
motives of whose rival policy are so ancient ; neither
was the consent of Austria of such immense
importance, as the Austrian states were not to be '
corporated with the confederation contemplated by
the King of Prussia, but connected by a looor bond,
or what they callapersonal union, with the handle
of other states. the hesitation of Bavaria took
the king completely by surprise. It is, indee,d, g
great blow. What the Prussian government wul do

VIOLIN? ASSAULT UPON MISS VINCENT, OP THE VIC-
TORIA TREATRE.—EIiza Cole, alias White, a young woman
of prepossessing appearance, was charged with attempting to
strangle Miss Vincent, the actress connected with the Vic-
toria Theatre. The complainant, who was accompanied by
Mr. Osbaldiston, stated that a little after 11 o'clock on the
previous night she left the theatre, and was about to get
into her carriage at the stage door, when she perceived the
prisoner following her. She knew nothing about her, but
the prisoner rushed upon her, and attempted to strangle
her ; and no doubt she would have en .wded, had not one
of the actors come to her assistance. Witness further stated
that she was unacquainted with the prisoner, and had had
no connexion with her family. She knew her some years
ago as au actress, but had nothing to do with her.
Mr. Edwin, the chief clerk, asked Mies Vincent whether
the prisoner did not claim relatiouhip with Mr. Osbaldiston.
Miss Vincent replied that she was not aware that such
was the ease.
Mr. Johnson, one of the performers connected with the
Victoria Theatre, said that he was making his way to the
lobby after the performance, when he heard screams and
cries of " Murder." He instantly rushed out at the stage
entrance, and saw the prisoner in Miss Vincent's carriage,
with her hands grasped tightly round her throat. She ex-
claimed, " that she was determined to murder her, as she
had a vindictive feeling towards her !" He seized hold of
her, and gave her into custody of the constable of the theatre.
Murray, the constable of the theatre, said that he took the
prisoner int* custody, and on searching her he found a
quantity of stones and a sharp knife.
In defence, the prisoner said she was an old acquaintance
of Miss Vincent, and knew her before she lived with Mr.
Osbaldiston. She had been a ballet girl at the Haymarket ;
and when Miss Vincent performed there she subted her,
but since she bad been in distress all her friends had deserted
her. When Mr. Shepherd was with Miss Vincent she called
upon her for assistance, but she then treated her so ill that
she was determined to have satisfaction.
Mr. Seeker told her that if she had any complaint to make
it should be done in the proper way, and not with violence.
She certainly did not appear to be in a proper state to be
liberated, consequently he should detain her until her Mends
came forward and became answerable for her future con-
duct.

HESSE -DARMSTADT. A conflict has at
length taken place at Lauterbach, on the Baden fron-
tier. A public meeting was to take_ place on the
25th inst., but it was forbidden by M. Prinz, the
Hessian government-president. He repaired himself
to the spot, and, while reading the riot act, was shot
from behind, his body was then frightfully mutilated.
It was a scene that forcibly recalled the murdering of
Auerswald and Lichnoweki. The police officers at-
tending him were thrown out of the windows, but
escaped without much harm. The second battalion
of the 3rd regiment immediately hastened to the spot
from Heppenheim, and met the enemy near Lower
Lauterbaoh. The latter opened their fire, wounding
a subaltern and a private severely, others lightly ;
the fire was returned, the village taken, and
the volunteers beaten after a brief action. The latter
left 40 dead upon the field; insurgents, grievously
wounded, lay along the road as far as Weinheim ; 107
were taken prisoners, and conducted to Mayenoe.
Among them was the president of the democratic
club at Furth._ _ _

At Darmstadt a committee of safety was formed
on the 23rd inst., for preserving the order and security
of the city. At half-past 6 p.m., in consequence of a
Tote by the majority, the president of the ministers
announced the dissolution of the Assembly.
All the political clubs at Giessen were summoned
by the town crier to assemble forthwith, for present-
ing a "monster petition" to the grand duke. Its ob-
ject was summed to be for obtaining the dismissal of
the ministry of Jaup, for a constituent chamber, and
for causing the military and officials to swear to the,
constitution.
