14. Bright visited Cardinal Cullen to-day.

A Dublin correspondent of the Times writes :
"Those who undertook to get up the banquet to Mr.
eight worked hard to mute the demonstration successful,
esdit must be admitted that they &I not work in vain.
so far 03 the arrangements were concerned nothing could
be non satisfactory. I have never seen anything of the
kiwi in Dublin so well ca ,„ ads, I or so systematic, and
ea arrangements were corn- :1 out admirably. For this
mu& credit is due to the committee, and to the
anaemia band of stewards, but most of all to
ear chief, Mr. A. M. Sullivan. When we m-
ooed former political demonstrations in which the
members of the Young Ireland party were concerned, we
not be struck with the vast improvement in the way of
crier and self-control, as well as with the change of senti-
soda iu relation to England. Political action, instead of
wig repudiated, was earnestly slashed, and instead of
separation, the talk was all of union and co-operation be-
tween the peeple of the two nations. Considering also tho
begerogneous elements of which the assembly was com-
DoW, as harmony was something wonderful. Fenianisin
load no utwrance, and the ardour of Young Ireland was
remained within bounds of moderation. The speeches
dna t) Donoghue, viewedlin this light, excited the aux-
rise of everybody, while their appropriateness and the
oily, they displayed were much admired. The meeting
via of a very complex character. The Roman catholics,
of course, preponderated ; but every protestant denomina-
tiga Wel represented by some of its most respected mem-
lers. No doubt the desire to hear Mr. Bright induced
wise to attend, though at the cost of 255. a ticket. But
those who expected from the hon. gentleman & vehement and
face style of oratory were much disappointed. He was re-
markably calm and deliberate ; his quiet manner, how-
ever, wn evidently due in part to the state of his health,
for he spoke at times with great difficulty, evidently la-
bouring under a bronchial affection. He, at all events,
lad every noon to be gratified with the demonetration.
mSh a tribute was never before paid to an English com-
ner in frelazuL The assembly was remarkably good-
hanioumd, and appeared tolerant to everything but
Sondem. The presence of hundreds of ladies in the [vil-
lain was also a remarkable feature in the grand picture
which the round room of the Rotunda presented on this
occasion."
According to a correspondent of the Star Mr. Bright's
speech at tint ()cautioned some alarm and regret. " For
because immediately evident, and more distinctly and
dittres.ehgly so as he continued his observations, that ho
ins decidedly unwell. Hit throat was quito unequal to
the strain of speaking long in a large room ; and his voice,
more or less affected by hoarseness throughout, was occa-
&malty given forth with difficulty, apparently almost with
gain. Except at intervals, too, there was an unwonted air
of languor and constraint over him which told of weariness
sad mental stream. He spoke at less length, too, than has
been his habit at these gatherings. But, in so far as it was
caned by the sense that it was an excess of labour, dan-
gerous seal exhausting, the speech was above praise. On
the conclusion of Mr. Bright 's speech he felt, it would ap-
pear, so exhausted, that he was unable, as had been ar-
ranged, to propose The O'Donoghne's health, which duty
devolved on the Mayor of Cork."

THE CASE OP THE LATE MR. SNIDER.

The Times City article of this morning contains
greet letters written by Mr. Snider to a private friend,
tod dated respectively Sept. 27, Oct. 3, and Oct. 18,
tying a detailed account of the treatment which he had
received from the government. As regards the allegation,
the truth of which is denied by Mr. Clode, the soli-
citor to the War-office, that he was sued by the
government for the sum of 11. Is. 11., he says in the first
letter that in 18.19 he was called upon by the War Depart-
meat to convert two Eufields upon tho Storm system
of breech-loading ; that be was required to make the trial
with government powder and bullet ; and that a demand
was soon after made upon him fur the sum of 1/. Is. 2d. for
the material thus furnished, for which amount he was sub-
requently sued, and judgment obtained by the govern-
mut. The official demand of the money is mime-
(randy mentioned as being enclosed, and Mr. Snider
, adds. would send you the writ, &c., but I
cannot at present give active search enough among
tny Topers to find it; but I have it somewhere with
many notes urging payment." In the same letter the writer
remarks that he was fur 18 months at intervals occupied
is briuging the Storm system to the position it bad at-
tained, not that after the expenditure of thousands of
muds and eight years of arduous labour, thought, and
expense, he had never up to that time received from
the government any remuneration. In the letter
of October 3 Mr. Snider stated that, in answer to a
request of Loot Hsrtington in June last, ho sent a letter
to the War-office, naming' ,700/. as the amount he claimed
for expenses, and for his services during the time he was
troployed by the department, and that he afterwards
saepted 1.0001., because he was made to understand
414 he would otherwise get nothing, and was harrasoed by
tdsuients, and fears of being dragged from bed to prison.
Mu amount all went to creditors, and had he had " two
pond legs- under him, he would not have accepted it, it
having beeu intimated to him that when he was well
'cough to present himself at the War-office the
matter wonld be reconsidered. It is ridded that the
*Meet of " reward for my services" wu still an open
emit-ion with the government, and the writer hoped they
would " soon come to judge it with a higher sense of jus-
tice and reason." In the last letter 111 r. Snider, se
nerving to a statement that "in all countries where
patents :.re conferred the governments have the legal
Power to use such inventions free of cost," remarks that
the L'idted States government reserves to itself no such

THE PROCEEDINGS IN CHANCERY.
This afternoon, before Mr. Buckley, the chief
clerk attached to the court of Viee-Chancellor Kindenley,
sever al stuunionses were heard involving the liabilities of
transferers and transferees of shares. At the commence-
ment of the proceedings,
The Chief Clerk esid—l shall keep every contributory on
the list unless the transfer has been registered.

he" Chief Clerk—Very well ;it has been already de-
cided by the Vice-Chancellor in Walker's ca.e it is
immaterial whether the transfer took place before the sus-
pension or after so far as the liability of the original holder
is concerned.
Mr. Hide--These mummies st .od over, that the per-
sons concerned in them might get ho benefit of Walker's
appeal ; but he has intimated his intention not to proceed.
The Chief Clerk sail if any qf the parties choose to pro-
ceed on their own account, well and good ; but no more
costs could be allowed out of the estate. Ho should de-
cline to make any order on either of the summonses.
The whole fifteen cases were then gone through in order
to carry out the decision formally.

THE RECENT ROBBERIES ON THE GREAT

EASTERN RAILWAY.

FURTHER PROCEEDINGS.-(THIS DAY.)

This morning at the Stratford Police-court.
Caroline Buckle, a very respectably-dreamed middle-aged
woman, wife of Henry Buckle, who stands committed
for trial on two charges of being concerned intl.* robbery
of property Irons trains on the Great Eastern Railway, was
brought up in custody of Inspector Standage, of the K divi-
sion, charged withtfelonionsly receiving goods known to
have been stolen from trains on the above named line.
It may be remendscred that the husband of the prisoner
kept a clothier's and drapery shop in Stratford New-town,
near to the company's works, and in consequence of recent
numerous robberies on the line, and information which
came to the knowledge of Superintendent Russell, the
company's superintendent of police, that officer,
with Inspector Standage, visited Buckle's shop,
and seized a very large amount of property
which is supposed to have been abstracted from the goods
trains. The goods consisted of rolls of linsey, cantlet,
velvet, cloth, a large number of boots awl shoes, and other
articles. Amongst the property found were some rolls of
linsey and cloth which were stated to have formed part of
a bale which had been sent by Messrs. Kerr, of Cannon•
street, to Mr. Stevens, of Wisbech. There were also a
number of boots And shoes which had been forwarded by
Mr. Winter, of Norwich, to Mr. Starling, of Sawbridge,
worth, and of course never delivered.
Yesterday Mr. Russell, the company's superintendent,
and Mr. Inspector Standage, apprehended the prisoner,
Mrs. Buckle on suspicion of being concerned in the rob-
beries. It appeared that at the former search of the
prisoner's house three ostrich feathers were found by
the officers, and in answer to inquiries she stated that they
had been given to her, but by whom she declined to say.
It was stated that these feathers were sent by Messrs.
Parsons, of S. Paul's Churchyard, to a person
in Swaffham, and that the box in which they were packed
was broken open. On the second visit of the officers they
found an instrument called a syphon enema in the pri-
soner's place, and it was proved that this article was one
of those which had been forwarded by Mr. Bailey, of 4154,
Oxford-street, to a Mr. Hunger, of Swaffham, the box
having been burst open in the course of transit.
Mr. Russell, the company's superintendent, said he had
to ask that the prisoner might be remanded and brought
up for re-examination with her husband, against whom
there were several charges of receiving stolen property.
The prisoner denied saying that the property in ques-
tion belonged to her, or that she refused saving the name
of the person who gave them to her.
The magistrate (Mr. King) accordingly remanded her for
a week.
It was stated that the police had seized another large
amount of property at the prisoner's shop.
