IRELAND.

DUMAN, JOLT 13.
Many faces are looking blank at the approach of
the poor-law extension, and the cessation of the un-
expensive Temporary Relief Act. At a former meet-
ing of the Fcrmoy guardians, the distressed condition
of the majority of the ratepayers was represented
by memorial to the Poor-law Commissioners, and the
reply, which was read at a meeting on Wednesday
last, partially acceded to the prayer of the memorial.
A higher rate than 3s. in the pound on the expendi-
ture of the relief committee will not be demanded at
present. While admitting the great difficulty of col-
lection, the commissioners urge the guardians to do so
at all hazards. This letter, very probably, has been
communicated to the boards throughout Ireland.
Besides the 3s. rate, the guardians are directed to
strike a new rate for the commencement of out-door
relief on the 15th of next month. To both these
injunctions is added another from the under-secre-
tary, ordering the board to pay on this day the first
instalment of the relief expenditure, 8051., and a
similar sum on every succeeding Tuesday for twelve
weeks, or within three months a sum of 10,4801.

At a meeting of the general assembly of the pre.-
, byterian church in Ireland, held in Belfast yesterday,
a report was read detailing the success of the deputa-
tion in having a special grant made for the maiate-
nance of four professorships connected with the
education of their clergy. The conduct of the govern-
ment, and more particularly of Mr. Labouchere, was
the theme of general approbation.
Mr. Maurice O'Connell, M.P., proceeds by this
evening's packet en route for Southampton, where the
remains of his father are expected to arrive by Sat ur-
day next. Mr. O'Connell will be accompanied by
Mr. Steele; and some others cf the personal friends of
the family are expected to join. The body, on its
arrival, will immediately be removed on board a
steamer placed at the disposal of the deceased's friends
by the Peninsular and Oriental Cimpany for con-
veyance to Ireland, where it will probably arrive on
Tuesday next.

Before Mr. Justice tbleridr.
SMITH V. Scott AND OTHEZID. —This was an act ion
brought by the plaintiff, Mr. W. H. Smith, late proprietor
of the Swansea Journal, to recover compensation in damages
for a libel published by the defendants in the Morning Ad-
vertiser on the 31st Dee. last. The defendants pleaded the
general issue. The complaint originated in the report of
certain proceedings at the Judges Chambers, in which re-
port it was alleged that the transactions of the plaintiff, a
bankrupt, had been unfairly stated and his character injured.
The plaintiffs counsel said there was no desire to press for
damages, and expressed his willingness to accept an apology.
Mr. Dodson addremed the jury for the defendants; and after
contrasting the character and position of the parties, pro-
ceeded to contend that the Judges' Chambers were open
courts for judicial purposes, and that a fair account of pro-
ceedings therein was no libel. Mr. Justice Coleridge here
interrupted the learned counsel, remarking, a report might
be accurate, because it ms'y be fair, and yet do a great deal
of injury. The learned counsel assented to this proposition ;
and urged that the report was a fair and accurate narrative
of the proceclngs; altogether there was an abeeace of mo-
tive to injure the plaintiff ; and he hoped the jury, if they
found a verdict for the plaintiff, would estimate the injury to
his character at half a farthing.—The jury found a verdict for
the plaintiff —Damages, 40s. ; and expressed their desire to
give the plaintiff his costs.

Ashton, who had thereby bequeathed the residue of his per-
sonal mute as follows: " I give and beq•.teath all the rest,
residue, and remai,lder of my personal estate and effects,
after payment of the several legacies or sums of money
hereinta-fore given, unto the hon. the commissioners fir the
time being of the sinking fund of th' Gaited Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland, to be applied by them according
to the directions and regulations of the laws and statutes in
form for the time being, for regulating and ►pplying that
fund in or towards the extinction or reduction of the national
debt of the said United Kingdom, or as near thereto as cir-
cureitances will permit." The residue of the testator's
estate, of the alleged value of about 200,0001., stood invested
at his death partly upon mortgages of real estater, and partly
upon the security of railway debentures, rail way stock, railway
shares, canal, and w►terwork gauss, and other securities
savouring of the realty; the remainder consisting either of
cash, or securities of a personal nature. The question was
whether the bequest of the residue was a charitable tare, in
which case it would fail as to that portion of the residuary
estate which was in the nature of realty ; or whether it cluld
be supported as a gift to the state unaffected by the statutes
ofmortinain. The bill was filed by the survivor of the
executors named in the will, against the commissioners for
the reduction of the national debt, the attorney general, and
the testator's seat of kia as defendants. At the hearing, Mr.
Romilly sod Mr. Roundell Palmer proposed that there should
be inserted in the decree a direction for inquiries to ascertain
what part of the testator's residuary estate consisted of pure
personalty, and what part thereof savoured of the realty.
Mr. Wray, for the commissioners and the attorney-general,
suggested that the proper course would be first to determine .
the question of eoastruction, as the proposed inquiries would
be useless should the court be of opinion that the bequest was
unaffected by the statutes of mortmain.—His Honour directed
the inquiries to be taken, without prejudice to any question
in the cause.

STATE OF THE COUNTRY.

The state of the couottyConti;M;e;;;Snigestire of pre-
sent despondence as we could at all anticipate. In Belfaat I
find the number of fever cases in the town estimated at 1,280,
of whom, perhaps, one-half are confined to their own houses,
where, in many instances, they are left utterly unattended,
save occasional visits from the doctor. Destitution in the
north seems very much on the increase.
Turning to the south, we find the county of Limerick a
scene of turbulence and plunder. Here five bags of meal
are swept away ; there 7!. are carried off. In another place
a farmer's house is plundered of property and money, and
five similar instances are recorded. These outrages, wherever
possible, are accompanied by the taking of arms, and, in
most case., by violence.
The price of provisions rose in the Limerick markets on
Wednesday, in the face of considerable arrivals. Flour ad-
vanced 2.. per bag, and Indian met! 10s. per ton.
Ihe accounts of the crops continue favourable, and the
potato crop, of whirls we hear every day that a larger breadth
has been sown, looks healthy. Some of the new growth has
been exhibited in Mayo, but they were of garden culture.
They appeared sound and good, as in former years. The
wewher, though somewhat boisterous, is extremely favour-
able for the growing crops.

IMPORTANT DECISION.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH —Tmcs DAY.

WOOLDER V. ToDY.—AcTIEN AOAINAT AN ALLOTTED OF
SHARES IN AN EXTINCT RAILWAY, POR THE RECOVERY OP
DEPOsITR—This woo an action against an allottee of shares
in the Direct Exeter Railway Company for the recovery of
the deposit payable on 40 shares which had been allotted to
him. It was tried at Exeter, in Xarch, 1846, and • verdict
given for the plaintiff. Subsequently a rule was obtained
fir entering a unnasat, or for • new trial, or for arrest of
judgment. Cause was shown agaiasX the rule, and the court
postponed the decision. —Lord Denman now mid that
the defendant had applied fur a nonsuit on the ground
that the directors of the undertakers, at the time of
making the allotment were different (rum the parties an-
nounced by the prospectus as directors et the time when the
application for shares was made ; and that, as the judgment
of those whe applied for shares was armed i+y the names of
the persons announced in the pro.pcdtu,, the defendant, on
any chango in the constitution of toe board of director,, was
entitled to have the option of rerensidering his application.
The court was of opinion that !Xs iron:neat must prevail,
for the plaintiffs were bound to prove an express contract
will them by the defendant, and this they could not do by
potting in an application to a certain set of director., and an
allotment by • t not substantially the same with that to
which the application had been made. On this ground,
then, there tualat to be a nonsuit; and on certain other ob-
jections raised by the defendant, and pointing. at a new trial,
it wu therefore unnecessary to give an opituon.—Rule ab-
solute to enter a nonsuit.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, MALT 27.
The country journals ars all dressed in mourning
for O'Connell. The effect of the event has not yet
had time to ripen ; but, from the accounts received to-
day, it is probable the gratitude and respect of the
provinces will atone for the coldness and 'degeneracy
of the capital. In Limerick, on receipt of the intelli-
gence, public business was suspended, the shops were
closed, and a requisition for a meeting of the citizens
hinted by the mayor. In Waterford and Wexford
similar demonstrations took place ; and in Belfast the
liberals, with good taste and feeling, offered to com-
bine with the Repeal Association in paying any suit-
able mark of public respect to the remains of Mr.
O'Connell.
The proceedings in Limerick, which had canted the
authorities some uneasiness, have, by recent accounts
to-day, passed away quietly. lam assured, in a pri-
vate letter, that the outrages against property
reported in the journals have been exaggtrated, and
that the real, as well as the expressed intentions of
the crowds were, to induce the gentry, by a demon-
stration of force, and its concomitant, fear, to provide
them with labour. The activity of the authorities—
, civic, mac sterial, and military—had entirely subdued
the riots by Tuesday evening, the whole extent of the
depredations being a few loaves of bread, and a few
stones of Indian meal.
In Galway matters look more promising this week.
Labour to a very great extent is about being afforded
to the people, and quiet prevails. The contractor for
building Queen's College has advertised that he will
employ, at sufficient wages, for the next six months,
all the competent unemployed stone-masons in the
town. The works of Lough Corrib, long delayed on
account of the required " assents " being withheld by
some millowners, are about to be entered upon, and
4,000 persons will obtain employment.
We have heard much of the destitution of the city
of Cork. According to the last census the population
amounted to so mewhat more than 80,000, and the amount
of destitution just returned to the Relief Committee,
including returns not yet made out for the outlying
districts, ie 15,000, so that one in every five, or twenty
per cent. of the population is destitute.
The father of the Irish bar, Mr. Thomas Dixon, is
dead. Ile passed from the church to the bar, was

gown fell on his shoulders only a few years ago. He
Is succeeded in the conventional paternity by a far
more distinguished, and almost as old a man, Robert
Holmes, whom the profession will not find so gentle
as his predecessor.
Another able lawyer, Mr. Joseph Nelson, Q.C., died
yesterday. He was assistant-barrister for the county
of Longford. The vacancy has been rather quickly
filled up, by the appointment of Mr. Thomas °gingen.
He was named by Mr. O'Connell as one of the
" arbitrators" on the late physical force business, but
refused, as he agreed in the opinions of neither party.

The established assembly has declined all compro-
mise on the subject of the property of the chapels of

hood, endeavour to get government to interfere, as in
the case of the Dissenters' Chapel Act. With the view
of providing endowments for thole chapels the clergy
of the establishment have subscribed 8,0001., and the
laity 2,5001., and in time they expect the subscriptions
of the former to amount to 20,0001.

In the Free Church Assembly the education scheme

given unconditionally and freely for the support of
the schools of this church, remit to their educational
committee to give advice to such parties as may wish
to apply for grants."

to the meeting that he would avail himself of the privilege
given by the act of parliament of insisting upon a compara-
tive trial, or upon a positive trial if that should be regarded
as consistent with the act of 1741. The meeting adjourned,
without any election having taken place. The Dundee
Courier, says that the " trial" system was also attempted
with Mr. Adams! These modest St. Andrew's professors
would have " tried" Sir Isaac Newton.

COMMERCIAL 4. MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Two o'Clock.—Wo noticed some days since that
money, that is, accommodation, was becoming more
tight, and of coarse that the public should be pre-
pared accordingly for the natural consequences of the
effect upon securities in the absence of any demand
for investment. Thus the funds have been

seldom been a period, except in very quiet times,
when speculation was less active. We have Consols

901 to 1. Exchequer Bills, Bs. to 12s. premium.
Bank Stock, 196 to 8.
The Bank returns, as will be seen in the last page
of the Express, do not show favourably. The reduc-
tion in the amount of coin and bullion of 167,5251. is
not considerable in itself, but becomes of more im-
portance when taken conjunctively with the decrease of
former weeks. The diminution of the notes in reserve
by 282,7251., the gross amount being reduced to
4,069,805/., will account for the decrease of "other"
securities by 964,4791. The Bank, therefore, as we
stated some days since, was drawing in its loans, and
discounting less. This state of the Bank's accounts
sufficiently testifies to the wariness of the directors
and their appreciation of actual circumstances.
There was an attempt yesterday to get up a sort
of speculation in Spanish Bonds, which, therefore,
rose about per cent. ; but the parties appear to
have abandoned the project in despair. The Fives

collegiate purposes; among them the Primate, Arch-
bishop of Dublin, and the Bishops of Clogher, Ardagh,

BASSAN V. LATINS AND ANOTHER.—WHAT IS
PROPRIL RENOMINATION 701 PREPARING BOOKS OP
Rerzaancs ?—The plaintiff had prepared books of refe-
rence to enable a company, called the Kent Atmospheric
Railway Company, to go before Parlianiest. He had been
employed in the year 1645 by the defendeate, who were the
agents at Croydon of the London solicitors of the eimaysay ;
had worked on the whole 47 " abort days" sad 16 long
days," and c.Limd remunrtion at the rate of one rafts
Il a day for the short days, and one gains and abalf Ist
the " long days." The defendants paid him 161. on account,
and insisted that he was only entitled to be paid after the
rate of 10s. 6d. • day for " short days," and 13e. 4d. for
" long days." As the plaintiff would not accept a balsam
Imo computed, he brought this action, admitting in his par**.
lore the sum which be bad received. The defendants pid
201.13 e. iato court and disputed their liability to nty more. Mr.
Serjeant She, and Mr. Bevil', for the plaintiff, called wit-
news who proved the natant of the work done, and that the
defendants had actually paid another gentleman, an attorney,
after the rate which the particulars set up.—Mr. Humber!,
Q.C., and Mr. Petersdorff, on the other hand, called clerks
from the offices of some railway solicitors in extensive ban-
ana, who proved that their principals had paid gentleman of
education who, in the year 1845, had prepared books of
reference for them, at the rate of 10e. ad. a day for abort
days and 13.. 4d. for long days. On erosa-eumMation, how-
ever, it sou elicited that the same persona Witte employed,
year after year, to prepare reference books for the larger
offices, and that there wee still a prospect of their being so
employed, at the proper season, for a great number of years.
Mr. Berjeant Shea, in reply, therefore, contended that the
defendant's evidence did not apply to the case of a person
employed on behalf of an office not capable of holding out
the prospect of employment for several years.—Lord Denman
summed up. The jury deliberated for some time, and then
returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the full balance
claimed, 371.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, MAT 9.
The official bulletin issued this morning was to the
following effect :
80, sacilency issued a tranquil night, and feels much re-
frsshed this =arcane.
I have been assured, notwithstanding, that the
" tranquillity" is the reverse of that which would in-
dicate returning health.
The accounts from the country represent a dis-
turbed state of society. In Galway bands of labourers
have been parading the town with flags. bearing
" Bread or employment. " The procession was
harmless. Beyond the Shannon, where a more
perverse spirit rules, the disorder was more
violent At Ballingarry, about twelve miles
to the south-east of Limerick, the peasantry collected
on a lofty hill, with a flag of distress flying. Pro-
ceeding through the country, they stopped the men
employed on drainage works, whom they compelled
to fall in. They soon mastered 3,000, " well armed
with guns and enthuses." The Roman Catholic
curate assuaged their riotous temper, and compelled
the surrender of 50 head of cattle, which they seized
en foray, and were driving before them, like the
marchmen of the Borders. Carts of flour and Indian
meal —*as train, reckoning 26 cars—were plundered,
notwithstanding. the resistance of the police. The
comity of Limerick appears to be in a very lawless
and disorganised condition.
Shipowners are playing profitable tricks on emi-
grants, notwithstanding the activity of emigration
officers. One ease, which has just come to light, will
show the frauds which are very generally practised,
though not easily detected. Lieutenant Stark com-
plained of the master of the Sophia before the Sessions
Court of Belfast on the following grounds. The vessel
cleared out of Liverpool with 29 passengers, and if
there be not 30 on board the provisions of the
passenger act do not apply. As the Sophia's
complement was below the number, the amount of
her see stores could not be regulated, the whole con-
trolling power being left with the master. While
she lay in the Mersey two additional passengers were
taken on board, and, being forced into Belfast by
stress of weather, the emigration agent diseovered
gie fraud. The captain was fined 201., besides the
costs of prosecution. Another case occurred in
Limerick in which the ahipbroker was ordered to
pay lOC each to several parties for passage sub-
sistence and compensation money.
The official returns of the number of ships and
passengers which sailed from Limerick since the oom-
mencereent of the season gives 36 vessels, and 5,537
passengers ; distributed as follows : 12 to New York,
with 813 passengers ; 1 to Baltimore, with 102 ; and
the remaining ships to the British colonies, chiefly to
Quebec, with the remaining passengers. The passage
money to America from Limerick is 31. per head—in
ordinary seasons a prohibition ; but, at present, tickets
for that amount are held at a premium.
Lady Noel Byron, who takes a deep interest in
femaleindustrial education, has contributed a picture
painted on copper, by Carle Wee, for the use of the
Industrial Belief School in Belfast The value is
estimated at 301.
