The novel and striking advantages of this Company, when com-
pared with those of ordinary Life Assurance Societies, will be
readily perceived by the following example and table.
Suppose a person aged 20 commence by depositing 101. with this
Company, and continue to do so every year till he arrives at 50, he
will havepaid to the Company 3201., fcr which he .will.hold a policy
for 6951. 12s. 44„ payable,. fn his, representatives in caoftddeoth. ,
Should he, however, survivi,6%-ind -hecomb unable-to pay, or not
lie desirous of continuing his payments, he can either retain his
policy, and still remain assured for 6951. 12s. 4d., or he may cancel
his policy, and receive in cash 382/. Vs. Od., being 62/. 17s. Od. more
than he has actually paid in.

In cases of ordinary Life Assurance, on failure to pay the pre-
mium, the Policy would lapse, and all previous payments become
forfeited to the Society.
To persons, therefore, of limited incomes, or whose incomes are
dependent on contingent circumstances, and who, from fear of being
unable at some future time to continue their annual premiums, have
hitherto neglected to avail themselves of the benefits of Life Assur-
ance, the advantages of this institution over any other is too obvious
to require comment,
Every description of ordinary Life Assurance business transacted.
Policies from 101. to 5,0001., on every known principle of Life As-
surance.
Policies not void on account of suicide.
" Diseased" lives, and lives " declined" by other offices, accepted.
Premiums may be paid in any way most convenient to the assured.
Annuities and Endowments granted upon more favourable terms
than in most offices.
Half-premium Assurances during the term of seven years.
Loans are granted on every description of Real or Personal Secu-
rity, upon terms more advantageous to the Borrower than in any
similar institution.
Indisputability of Policies. To put this matter beyond a doubt,
the common declaration as to the health and habits of the person
assured will net be inserted in the Policies.
Medical referees are paid by this Society in all cases for their pro-
fessional reports.
Commissions are allowed to all parties introducing business to this
Society, on a most liberal scale.

* EXAMPLE.—At the commencement of the year 1841 a person aged
thirty took out a Policy for 1,0001., the Annual Payment for which
is 241. Is. Bd.; in 1847 he had paid in Premiums 1681. I Is. Bd. ; hut
the profits being 2M per cent. per annum on the sum insured (which
is 221. 10s. per annum for each 1,0001.), he had 1571. 10s. added to the
Policy, almost as much as the Premiums paid.
The Premiums, nevertheless, are on the most moderate scale, and
only one-half need be paid for the first five years when the In-
surance is for Life.
Every information will be afforded on application to the Resident
Director.

The Bank of India is established for the purpose of carrying on the
general business of banking and exchange , China, the
Mauritius, Ceylon, iiingariore, and other eastern possessions of the
British empire ; for receiving' doposits'aint Making reinittances ; for

tics ; for I:;suing ce•clular antes payable in Europe: Egypt, the prin-
cipal stations on the Overlaryl r.nites;to India, and at the different
establishments of the bank ; for granting local klrafts and credits ;
and for all other leg,ltmate banking business.
The large capital et the. think of India will render it a safe medium
of &post 4; kind investinciat for the Indian commUnity,"whi whilst the
sources of profit to be derived from the extended operations of the
bank, by means of its different ageneies, apd the. bigh rate Of in-
ters/ obtainable in India, wilkensure a, large and profitable return
upon the capitaliinvesteit, and will, it is confidently expected, justify
the allowance of rr moderate rate of interdst to the depositors.
The great success which has attended the operations of the exist-
ing sankius establishments in.this country, connected with the East
Indies! hairol thp well-conducted 1)tal banks in the different Pre-
sidenciec, and the encouragement given to the employment of capital
in similar undertakings by the extension of commerce and railways,
has jo to t4e formation of the Bank of India.
Tre extMsioa of banking facilities necessary to meet the growing
requireinents of the mercantile community and of the large civil and
militant estatilantiaents of India, and the development of the sources
c ire4lth 2ithat country which mast arise from itsicaproved internal
communication by the railways projected and now improgress there,
will open an extensive and profitable field for the operations of the
Bank at its different branches.
The objections which were formerly entertained to the manage-
ment in England of banking establishments connected with countries
so distant els India have been removed, by the rapid means of inter-
course now existing between these two countries.
• The certainty and rapidity of this communication will be farther
iitereaSed by the clew lints of railway now in progress on the conti-
nent of Europe and in Egypt, and by the agency of the electric and
sub-marine telegraphs about to be established by powerful companies
already, ,inoperation. . .; - • -
Arrangements are in,•progress to secure to this Company the co-
operation and support of some of the largest native merehauts,of
~India, which will extend the eperationirof the Bank amongst that
class of the Indian community. -
Application will be made to her Majesty's Government and to the
GovernMent of India for charters of incorporation to limit the lia-
bility of the Shareholders, and power will be taken to increase the
capital of the Company to 2,000,000 i. sterling, in which event the
new shares will, in the first instance, be offered for distribution
amongst the existing Shareholders, and such other parties as, from
their local connexions and other circumstances, may be considered

likely to extend the business of the Bank.
The arrangements for the constitution of this Company are now
nearly completed, and full prospectuses, with the names of the Board
of l)irectors, will be pablished in a few days.

The Antwerp and Rotterdam Railway will be the great connect-
ing link between the lines of France, Belgium, and Germany at one
end, and of Holland at the other, and will form a direct intercom-
munication with the railways of Central and Southern Europe for
the inhabitants of Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and the Hague.
It is proposed to effect this national benefit by means of a railway
from the Government station at Antwerp to the Meuse at Rodevart,
a length of about thirty-five miles, in connexion with a steam-boat
service from thence to Rotterdam, a distance of about sixteen miles,
until a railway—for which surveys are in progress—is decided upon.
In the interval, the steam-boat service is wholly in an inland or river
navigation, passengers and goods will be transferred at a railway
wharf in deep water, at Rodevart, so that the journey between Ant-
werp and Rotterdam will be easily and comfortably accomplished in
about three hours, instead of occupying ten hours as at present—the
fares being less than half the present cost.
The district to be traversed by this line comprises the best of the
Polders of Belgium and Rolland, which are of a remarkable richness
and fertility. Its dense population enjoys a high condition of wealth
and comfort. Whilst the numbers per square mile in Belgium, Eng-
land, and France, are respectively—Beigium, 382; Great Britain,
231: France, 170 ; the census of the inhabitants located on the three
hundred and sixty square miles adjacent to this line gives a total of
291,730 persons, or about 840 per square mile—more than double the
general average of Belgium.
The branch to 1-treda, in length about fourteen miles, will secure
the traffic from Bois-le-Due, Tilbourg, and a large range of fertile
country, from which the OM and main roads converge towards and
unite at Breda.
l'his line has long been considered one of the most important and
profitable sections of the Dutch and Belgian systems of railway, and
has been the object of protracted negotiations between the two Go-
vernments. The concession for the portion of the line in Holland,
which is about three-fourths of the whole, was signed by the King of
Holland on the 21st July last. For the five leagues of the line in the
Kingdom of Belgum, a convention has been signed by the Minister
of Public 'Works, which on'y awaits the meeting of the Legislative
Chambers to receive a formal ratification. A convention between
the two kingdoms, to establish this line of communication, has re-
ceived the Royal assent in both countries, and was formally ex-
changed on the 4th of last month (see the " Moniteur Beige" of the
14th August, 1852.)
The Concession is for ninety years, and the tariff for passengers
and goods is similar to that of the Belgian State Railways.
This Company is based upon a contract already concluded with a
responstb e contractor, Mr. George Wythes, of Reigate, by which he
undertakes to purchase the land, and construct the bridges, works
of art and stations for a double line ; and to execute the earthworks
for, and lay down and complete, a single line of rails ; as well as
to provide all the rolling stock, plant, and workshops. Provision is
also made for the payment, by the contractor, of all preliminary
and incidental expenses, including the cost of the concession, and
s
also of interest, half-yearly, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum,
isu expectedpontleatpoitatlakceallpeldacuepin,
luerthathnetwopoeniyenar from the date ofg of the line, which
the concession. The whole outlay of capital will thus be covered
by the contract price of 500,0001., or about 10,0001. per mile, for
which fixed sum the shareholders will become possessed of a line
of railway with most favourable gradients and curves, complete and
ready for opening.
As regards the prospects of traffic, It may be observed that the
average gross receipts of the Belgian state railways for the year
185 d, as published in the Government statistieal returns, amounted '
to 1,710/. per mile, which in this case, would give a profit of up-
wards of 10 per cent. on the guaranteed cost of 10,000/. per mile.
It is apparent, however, that the receipts on this line may be ex-
pected to exceed the average of the 360 miles of Belgian State rail-
ways. First, because the local population in the district traversed
is more than twice as dense as the general average of Belgium, and in
a condition of greater prosperity. Second, because the line forms a
direct prolongation of the railway from Brussels to Antwerp, which
is probably the most productive section of railway in Europe—pro-
ducing an average receipt of about 6,0001. per mile per annum.
Third, because this line, from its position, must command the greater
part of the through traffic between Holland, Belgium, France, and
the South of Europe—the extent of which may be judged of from the
fact that the value of the merchandise transported to and fro be
tween -Belgium and Holland amounted in the year 1850 to a value
of 4,429,9891., which was in great part received at, and sent from,
Antwerp. These statements are based upon the annual Publication
of the details of foreign commerce, made by the Belgian Minister of
Finance.
Under the form of a " Societe Anonyme," the Shareholder's
liability is limited to his "holding." The capital will be represented
by 50,000 shares of 101. each, of which 20,000 shares are already
taken in Holland, Belgium, and France. By the terms of the
statutes of the " Societe," the certificates of the shares will be issued
" to bearer."
Applications for Prospectuses and Shares may be made to Messrs.
Hutchinson and Sons, 39, Lothbury, and to Messrs. Foster and
Braithwaite, 68, Old Broad-street, and any further information may
be obtained at the Company's Offices, No. 16, Cannon-street, City,
No. 16, Cannon-street, London, Sept. 24, 1852.

Sunderland, I have every reason to beliere, and indeed I am con-
vinced, that they were the means of preservina•
my own life as well
as some hundreds more at Riga, a great many Which I was an eye
witness to.

On my arrival at Itiga, I commenced taking the pills as a pre-
ventive or preparation for attack, to stay its violence if assailed ;
by which means a free passage through the body
prevented the in-
fectious air from producing that fatal cramp 11 the stomach and
limbs which has caused the death of thousands. On the 28th of
May, however, I was most violently seized with that dreadful dis-
order, and for the first four hours was in a deplorable state ; but,
thank Clod, from the precautions I had used, the noxious air had
passed through my body, with very slight attacks of the cramp,
and a few strong doses of the Universals soon restored me to health.
All my men, except one (who was too timid to take the Pills with
sufficient strength, from the fear of teing too violently purged,
who died in a few hours), took the Pills night and morning, and
were saved.

" To satisfy the poor fellow who died,
I got him soma medicine on
shore, but it took no effect in tho least,
as he ceased to exist soon
after, first becoming cold as a lump of ice, and of a dark blue co-
lour. I cannot think the cholera infections are contagious trona the
touch, as none of us were affected from handling the corpse.
" I left Rica en the Bth of June,
and got down to Bauldra the
same day, all well, but on the 10th the mate and a boy were both
taken ill with this dreadful disease, and for six days were in a dis-
tressing state; but with a close and powerful application of the Pills
were restored to full health.

" I am happy to say I have every reason to believe that this me-
dicine alone is all-sufficient to stop the ravages of this dreadful evil,
but that its powers are best applied at an early stage, or as a prepa-
rative.

" The value of the medicine was in the highest estimation at
Riga, and great lamentations were made at the scanty supply that
could be obtained from me and the rest of the vessels who had sup-
plies from you. Had I had 1001. worth more I could have sold them
all, even to the French doctors that were there."
The whole of the letters that have come to Sunderland from those
vessels which had supplies of the medicines out, speak with raptures
of their eilicacy.

BIRMINGH.4.I4I AND OXFORD JUNCTION.—A serious
slip of the embankment of this line of railway, in the exca
vation between Temple-row and Monmouth-street, Birming-
ham, took place on Friday evening. About sixty yards of
massive brickwork, four feet thick and between thirty and
forty feet high, gave way and fell with a tremendous crash
on the line of railway. Various out-buildings fell at the
same time. Mr. Brunel and several of the directors had
been on the line only a short time before. Although the
damage is extensive, it is believed that it will not cause the
postponement of the-opening of the line. Fortunately, no
persons were injured, as the slip was anticipated some hours
previously.

S PIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
HERALD.—In our article on Saturday on the
proceedings of the Bishop of Exeter.we perhaps
ought to have stated the fact, that
.r. Prynne had
denied having received the
g
con-
fession ; but we were led away a f
girl
from in question for
of that point by the language ofththee consideration
judgment, in which he assumes
trueSthisehfoapctin his
Mr. Prynne did actually receiveithe centtession, which
Mr. Prynne in one place ,solemnly
Ili:hop he never did receive, although acsesrutari'
certainty
ine
another place he admits that he had once
a shortiii
conversation with the girl on " the subject
of co
eirrnaeion and holy communion." Putting aside,
however, for the present the point, whether or not
the scenes, as described by the girls, really did
pass at confession with Mr. Prynne; let us inquire
to what extent at confession, according to his own
showing, Mr. Prynne admits that he will go, at
the same time remembering that it is that
same extent which the Bishop justifies and approves.
" I beg to assure your Lordship," says Mr. Prynne
in his written address to the Bishop, " that I never
put any such questions to any one in my life as are
suggested in the statement, or anything like such
questions. I should deem it as corrupting to do so
as I am sure your Lordship would." So far so good.
We have nothing to find fault with in this general
and positive denial. But then comes the qualification
—" I put questions," he says, " under the circum-
stances which I have already stated to your Lord.
ship—viz., in order to assist a person to make a com-
plete confession of sins, which they have upon their
conscience,„but have a difficulty he naming, or in order,
sometimes, where they seem ignorant, to bring more
fully home to their conscience the degree of their
guilt." '" " On the seventh commandment,
I trust I have been most cautious not to
suggest evil to ,the penitent, but judicious
questions." Here, then, we have a deli-
berate explanation by Mr. Prynne, addressed
to his diocesan, of the ordinary rules by
which he is guided at confession. From
that explanation we learn that the seventh com-
mandment is a subject-matter of confession, and
that ',although he has been " most cautious not do
suggest evil," he has, nevertheless, suggested " judi-
cious questions." Now, we should really be glad if
Mr. Prynne would explain what possible " questions,"
on such a subject, he imagines can be " judi-
cious" without some admixture of " evil." But the
preceding part of his explanation throws a pretty
strong light upon the nature of these " questions.
They are put, he says, " in order to assist a person
to make a complete confession of sins which they have
a difficulty in naming." Now what can these sins
be which those who come to confession " have a
difficulty in naming" but sins of sensual impurity,
which the apostle says " ought not so much as to
be named amongst you ?" Mr. Prynne, therefore,
admits that he encourages " the penitent" (accord-
ing to the avowed practice of the Popish Church) to
make to him, in gross terms, filthy sensual reve-
lations, which one man ought to be ashamed to
make to another, but which this middle-aged clergy-
man of the Church of England entices females to
make to him, even when they have " a difficulty in
naming them," under the foul and wretched pretence
of enabling them to relieve their consciences by con-
fession. We do not think that we ever in our lives
read a more revolting statement than this explanation
of Mr. Prynne's. That a Romanist priest should be
guilty of such loathsome proceedings is so far excu-
sable, that it is inculcated on him as a duty by the
anti-Christian Church of which he has the misfortune
to be a minister; but that a clergyman of our Pro-
testant Church should thus undisguisedly confess to
practices so sinful and disgusting, betrays an obli-
quity in his moral sense, and an indifference to the
first principles of the pure religion of Jesus Christ,
which fill the mind with mingled feelings of awe and
indignation. Would that we could stop here. But,
alas ! alas this disgusting conduct is actually com-
mended by one of the prelates of our Church. The man
who avows it is singled out by his Bishop for his
special countenance and favour I The' Bishop says
that " he acquits Mr. Prynne of holdifiedoctrine not
in accordance with the Church of England !" The
Bishop, moreover, avers that it ire fitting employ-
ment for a clergyman of his diocese to sit and listen
to a young girl of twelve years old, detailing " hor-
rors" of the most extreme impurity ; and if perchance
she has any modesty left, and she experiences some
" difficulty in naming," by the right names, the filthy
actions of which she has been guilty, or if perchance
" she seemed ignorant" how to do so with correctness,
then the Bishop approves of this clergyman putting
such questions to her as shall remove her " difficulty"
and inform her " ignorance," so that she may " make
a complete confession of her sins." " I must say,"
said this Right Reverend Father in God, Henry, Lord
Bishop of Exeter, " I must say, from all that has
been produced to-day, I entirely acquit Mr. Prynne,
even of indiscretion in receiving confession." Such is
the language of the Bishop of Exeter ! We dare not
trust ourselves to comment on it.
POST.—An inquiry has recently been held at
Plymouth, by the Bishop of Exeter, into the conduct
of a clergyman, charged with having received certain
confessions in a manner repugnant to the principles of
the Church of England. It would be desirable, if
possible, to exclude questions of religious controversy
from the daily papers. But we live in an age when
the Church is passing through a severe ordeal—in an
age, too, when the press is enlisted on every side of
every subject. It is, therefore, not possible, greatly
as we desire it, to avoid at all times the discussion of
theological questions. This must be our apology for
offering a few remarks upon the case of the Rev. G. R.
Prynne. That gentlemen has, it appears, been in the
habit of receiving to confession certain persons in his
district, and amongst them some young persons con-
nected with Miss Sellon's establishment at Eldad.
This coming to the ears of certain parties not of the
same theological principles as Mr. Prynne, an inquiry
is set on foot among some of the young persons who
had gone to confession. The consequence is, that
two or three clergymen at Plymouth, well known as
the leaders of every kind of opposition to the
Bishop and to High Church principles in general,
lodged with the Bishop a formal complaint against
Mr. Prynne, which resolved itself into these four
charges :-
1. The confessional is within the church.
2. That the confession is carried on secretly, not as
in Roman Catholic churches, where the parties
may be seen by the passers-by.
3. That (at least in the case of the girls belonging
to the Orphans' Home) it is periodically and
compulsively carried on.
4. That this compulsive and periodical system is
enforced upon very young children, i. c., from
twelve years of age.
These charges, the Bishop decided, did not bring
Mr. Prynne within the operation of any spiritual or
temporal law ; and he therefore adopted a purely
extra-judicial course. He fixed a day for the ac-
cusers and accused to appear face to face befor him
in the presence cf a select number of clergy and laity,
and seven reporters for the press. The reason of such
an arrangement is not very obvious. It surely rested
with the Bishop, as Bishop, to investigate a charge
against a presbyter without holding a meeting for
the purpose, and that, too, under circumstances which
made it utterly impossible to come to a correct con-
clusion on the matter. We remember a previous
occasion when the same Bishop held a similar meeting
to investigate charges against the management of
Miss Sellon's institution, and nothing could bemore
unsatisfactory than the termination of that inquiry.
Not that it prejudiced Miss Sellon or her cause in
the least, but it left the matter in as much obscurity
as at first, with the additional disadvantage, that
reports got circulated amongst the public, and went
num-
ber round of the papers, which from their very
and vaguity could never be authentically contra-
dicted ; and thus a cause, good, probably in
the
itself,
was injured by unskilful treatment. So,
pre-
sent case, a statement has gone forth throughn
alle the
hpapers which does not clear up a single
difficulty in-
volved in the inquiry. The Bishop has indeed, ac'
quitted M all blame, an
r. Prynne of d,
w re
not
going to find fault with the Bisho's o ine a
ion. But
it is very clear that that opinion was derived from
sources independent of Mr. Pr
ne's own reply to
the charges, and therefore unsatisfactory to
those who, from extremely
the irregular manner in which the pro-
ceedings of the meeting were conducted, are debarred
from all chance of forming a fair conclusion on the sub-
ject. We have, therefore, much fault to find, first, with
the constitution of the meeting, and, secondly, with
very
the course of its proceedings. For the first, it is
clear that Mr. Hatchard, and the clergymen whoacted with him, conceived that they had at last caught
a High Churchman tripping, and with that bitterness
which they always manifest towards their Bishop
chance,
whenever they have a they resolved upon a
public agitation in Plymouth on the question of auri-
cular confession, which was enforced, so they said, by
Mr. Prynne, under circumstances even more objec-
tionable than in the practice of the Roman Church.
As a preliminary, they forward a formal complaint
to the Bishop, and when the Bishop proposes a com-
paratively private investigation, Mr. Ilatchard and
I Mr. Childs most loudly complain, demanding that
every particular should be published and the meeting
be a thoroughly open one. It was the old cry over
again, "The public must be satisfied." The absur-

dity of "satisfying the public" as to the views and
teaching of any particular clergyman on confession is
transparent to every one but a bigoted Low
Churchman. The public, qua public, have no
right to trouble themselves about the matter. It
is a Churchman's question. But that large section
of the public whose feet never cross the portal
of our churches, who know little and care less
about th© Church's principles and teaching, what
have they to do with such a complaint as that made
to the Bishop ? We are quite aware that, in obe-
dience to the Apostolic injuactiou, "Against a Pres-
byter receive not an accusation but before two or
three witnesses," the Bishop could not deal with the
councils
complaint without the help of his clergy, but surely
that is no ground Tor a meeting constituted like that
of which we now speak. It is neither private nor
public. It is sufficiently public to stimulate curiosity
and make known the charges, while it is so private as
to withhold the evidence on which the truth of the
complaints depend. Had the Bishop resolutely main-
tained his right to investigate the charges with the
assistance of such clergy as he chose to call to his
" satisfied" on a question which concerns Churchmen
only,

" Those who make the charges,
proposed to be pursued by the
Bishop was as consonant with natural justice as he
could devise. The following
as to the proceedings at the
is the rule laid down:—

" Mr. Prynne will then state his case, and make any
comment on the evidence which he may think fit. If he
produces witnesses, lice will examine them, and after..
wards the accusers may cross-examine.
" A reply will be allowed to those who make the

charges. -
" If either the accusers or the accused prefer con-
ducting the case by any friend, being a clergyman, they
may do so."
But it never appears to have occurred to the Bishop
that he could not enforce this method. Probably he
trusted to the good sense and good feeling of those
who were labouring so assiduously to put him in an
unhappy position with " the public." If he did, it
appears that he trusted to a broken reed. Mr.
Hatchard and his friends had also a plan, and
they resolved not to accommodate theirs to that
of the Bishop. His Lordship wished to take
each case singly, and decide it on its merits.
Mr. Hatchard and Mr. Childs opposed this, desiring
to lump the cases together, and come to a conclusion
upon them jointly. The consequence was, that a de-
sultory ill-managed inquiry took the place of the
reasonable plan proposed by the Bishop. Several per-
sons were examined, and several certificates put in.
At length time wore on—the day closed with nothing
substantial effected. Mr. Prynne produced a written
defence, which does not appear to have been ever
opened. The Bishop then pronounced a judgment
acquitting Mr. Prynne of all blame, to the chagrin of
his accusers. Now, can anything be more unsatisfac-
tory than such an inquiry and such a result ? It was
said—" The confessional is within the Church." This
was disproved, but it was admitted that there was a
room used sometimes as a confessional, so that the
charge 'substantially remains. And it has undoubtedly
the great disadvantage, that the room used is not public
as in Roman Catholic churches. While it is admitted
that Mr. Prynne did receive persons so young as
twelve years to confession, it yet does not appear that
it was either periodically or by compulsion. So that,
after all, the simple fact is, that Mr. Prynne received
young persons to confession, and that, too, in a cer-
tain room in the church. The questions then arising
are—Ought Mr. Prynne to receive confessions at all ?
and next, if that be granted—ls there anything in the
circumstances of these confessions to inculpate Mr.
Prynne ? As to the first of these, we may accept the
Bishop's exposition as satisfactory. There are, un-
doubtedly, cases in which a clergyman may receive
confessions. As to the second, it would have been
more satisfactory had the Bishop been equally lumi-
nous in an exposition of the proper mode and place
of receiving them. We should then have had better
grounds for believing that Mr. Prynne is free from
blame. Either the whole should have been made
public, or none at all. At least the outline of Mr.
Prynne's defence should have been given. At present
it leaves the impression that this is just one more case
where principles, really right, are brought into con-
tempt through the indiscretion of those intrusted with
their administration.

IRELAND.
TUE MURDER OF MC. RYAN.
DUBLIN, MONDAY.—On Thursday last the Sheriff
of Tipperary, accompanied by a strong force of police,
executed a habere upon three farms on the estate of
the late Mr. Ryan. These farms were occupied by
parties who are strongly suspected of having been
concerned in the assassination of that gentleman.
Hacket, the holder of one of them, has been fully
committed for trial. Two of the farm-houses were
at once levelled to the ground, but the third, which is
of a more substantial character, was left standing, for
the use of a constable. There was a large concourse
of persons present, but they did not express any sym-
pathy with the fate of the murdered landlord, nor the
ejected tenants.
THE MURDER OF THE SOLDIER AT FERMOY.
The coroner's jury at Fermoy has returned a ver-
dict of wilful murder against some persons unknown.
According to the evidence it does not appear that the
fight which arose between the two soldiers and the
country people had any connexion whatever with the
memory of the Six-mile-bridge affair. It was the
result of a drunken quarrel, which arose in a petty
public-house.
STATE OF LEITRIM.—THE ELECTIONS.
The Sligo Journal states that the county of Lei-
trim is relapsing into a state of sad disorder. On
Tuesday night, in a district extending over twelve
miles in length, all the haycocks were tossed about in
the most wanton manner, and a great many of them
set on fire. The same night the pound-keeper's
house, near Manorhamilton, was broken into and his
fire-arms carried off. The centre of the mischief 's
the land called Glenfarn, and the sufferers the lre-
spectable farmers who voted for Mr. Montgomery.
The magistrates will, we trust, meet at once, and
have the district proclaimed. This i s exactly the class
of outrages which a proclamation can put down.

THE HARVEST.
__ _

The crops are now completely saved. All the
accounts from the country agree in representing the
produce as above the ordinary average. The potatoes
are holding pretty well in many parts ; but, generally
speaking, the crop is regarded as a failure. The
Tipperary Guardian says :
" Never, within the memory of man, has the weather
been more favourable for harvest operations than during
the present season. For the last month we have been
visited nightly by a sharp frost, followed iu tho day by
bright sunshine. 'Wheat, in almost every instance, is
safe in the stack-yard; but oats, a greater extent of
which have been sown this year than on former occasions,
are rather late. The reports respecting the potato are
conflicting; but we trust, as we heretofore s •
all that two-
thirds will be safe."
The Limerick Chronicle says :

" The weather continues most satisfactory for complet-
ing the harvest. We are gratified to reiterate our fa-
vourable) reports of wheat, barley, and oats ; the bean
