SOUTH WARY.

Mark Blackmore, the son of a respectable tradesman,
who was committed some days since from this court for
threatening to shoot his father, was brought up from the
county gaol for the purpose of being liberated on bail.
It appeared that several articles had been stolen from
the prisoner's sister, and amongst them a valuable gold
watch, which he was strongly suspected of taking ; and
being interrogated by his father on the subject, he
threatened to blow out the old man's brains, and actually
prepared a loaded pistol for the purpose. The father,
however, having previous intimation of the preparations
making for depriving him of existence, came off to this
court, and immediate steps were taken to prevent it by
the arrest of his son. On that occasion prisoner was
held to bail, and, not being prepared with sureties, he
was committed. Yesterday, however, two gentlemen
attended to become his bail, and the magistrate, observ-
ing from the prisoner's appearance that he was ex-
tremely ill, was informed that it was produced by the
young man making a most determined attempt to com-
mit suicide in gaol. For this purpose he got into a cor
ner of his cell and endeavoured to strangle himself, and
was on the point of effecting his object when one of the
turnkeys, happening to hear the noise, ran to the spot
and saved his life. The circumstance just narrated
having been mentioned to the magistrate, and he having
pointed out the risk the gentlemen who had offered to
become the prisoner's sureties ran in consenting to it,
they refused to do so, and the prisoner was therefore sent
#back to gaol ; and directions were given to watch him
closely, to prevent a recurrence of such an act as that he
had attempted to carry into effect.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, APRIL 19.—The accounts from various parts
of the country show that symptoms of discontent and
insubordination are apparent during the transition from
employment on the public works to the new relief system;
but there has been no actual outbreak ; although the
peasantry are suffering the deepest destitution. In
Youghal, county Cork, and in somo parts of the
county of Galway, the authorities deemed it necessary
to have military and police in readiness ; but there has
been, fortunately, no necessity for their intervention.
The unfeeling conduct of some of the local gentry has
been calculated to produce a popular ferment. The
Ballinasloe Star, a Conservative paper, contains the fol-
lowing statement on this subject :
" We have heard a well authenticated report of some
evictions in the neighbourhood of Eyrecourt. Some
days since ,& suffering human being begged something
to relieve the pangs of hunger from a gentleman not
very distant from this town ; although he could afford
relief--the unfeeling answer made to the woful tale of
destitution was, " Go, eat grass!" The sequel to this
disgraceful anecdote is, that the wretched man died of
starvation before night. What wonder, then, is it, if
we hear daily and nightly rumours of collected mobs
in the face of such ungentleness as this ? Such cynical
language is more galling than sheer neglect. From
this and other causes we are sorry to say that this
neighbourhood is not by any means as peaceable as it
has been. The cry of disaffection is now at last
striking on our ear; several gentlemen have received
threatening letters. On last Sunday a report cir-
culated through this town, that another and a worse

visitation was Contemplated by the disemployed labourers
from the parish of Moore. The authorities acted at
once, by sending for a troop of Hussars to Athlone.
The arrival of this force prevented any meeting if such

were ever contemplated, and the troops retnrned to their
quarters in peace on Tuesday. Instead of an armed
band of infuriate peasantry, our streets are every day
crowded with numbers of poor creatures in quest of food
and employment.
London, England, 1847-04-22

CHELTENHAM AND 03ETVED LINE.

Mr. Philpot ts, an extensive corn merchant at Gloucester, said
that the articles sent from London were chiefly expensive ar-
ticles for domestic consumption. The line between Oxford
and Gloucester had now been for some time in work, and the
break of gauge would therefore be a serious evil.
To Mr. TALBOT the witness replied, that Wexford was
the port to which they principally traded, but the for-
mation of the Irish railway would, in all probability,
change the character of the country, and the goods or
corn which had been hitherto sent by Limerick or
Wexford might possibly come by Waterford. He feared
however, that in the event of the opposing line being formed,
that much of the traffic would be driven from the neigh-
bourhood.

Mr. Paul stated that the distance between Cheltenham
and London, the railway distance, was 1211 miles; between
Cheltenham and Oxford the distance was at present 79
miles, and between Gloucester and London, 108 i miles, making
a saving of five miles. Taking the average of fare at 2d. a
mile, the saving between London and Gloucester would be
6s. BW, and between Cheltenham and Oxford the saving
would be Bs. 4d. in the double journey. The saving between
Cheltenham and Oxford, so far as distance was concerned,
would be twenty-rive miles. The distance to North
Leach from Cheltenham would be by the proposed line
twelve miles, while by the narrow gauge line it would be
fourteen miles. The next station was Burford, and
the town after that was Niiitnev, the celebrated manu-
factory for Witney blankets. There was already a Bill
sanctioned by Parliament for a line from Oxford to Witney,
and the stations had been devised with an especial view to
meet the arrangements for that line. On the contrary, the
proposed station of the narrow gauge line was fixed
behind the church, upwards of a mile from the centre of the
town, and without any communication whatever with the
railway which had already been granted. The line, of course,
was placed in connexion with the Great Western station
already formed at Oxford. The witness then explained from
the plans of the several towns the positions of the stations.
Mr. Thompson, of Cheltenham, late chairman of the Tring
line, and other witnesses, confirmed what had been previously
affirmed, and the Committee then adjourned.

GREAT DloaTazniv (NEUTTORD TO ST

1LT.3341.D75).

The Commtttee was occupied the whole of the day in hear-
ing•evidence in support of the opposition of the corporation
of Hertford, and of two landowners, viz., Baron Dimsdale,
and Mrs. Chambers.

The Committee adjourned at Four o'clock until to-morrow.

-
GROUP XVIII.
CHEILTZNIT-PLIVE AND ozrouto LINE.
The Committee in this Group assembled to-day at Twelve
o'clock ; the Earl of Lincoln in the Chair.
The evidence taken was in continuation of that yesterday,
and principally given by Mr. Engall, and Mr. Rowley, a
banker at Cheltenham, and Mr. Vivian. the Member for
Swansea. The first tyro of these three gentlemen testified to
the feeling of the inhabitants of Cheltenham being vi,ry
strong in favour of the project of the Gnat Western Company
Mr. Vivian stated that in his opinion, and in the opinion
of all those with -whom he had come in contact, the Great
'Western line was by far the best of the two. The line would
shorten the distance between London and Swansea by five
-miles, and would give great facilities for the transport of
minerals from South Wales.

Mr. Lewis, a magistrate of South Wales, gave similar
testimody.
Mr. Davis, Member for the County of Carmarthen,
confirmed the previous evidence, and stated that he
had received a memorial from the county town, re-
quesflng him to support the Bill in Parliament. He
was a director of the S,:uth Wales Railway, and
could say that that line was in active course of construction.
So far as he was acquainted with the mineral district of
Merthyr Tidvil, he believed that great facilities would be
given for the transport of the produce, but he was not aware
that there was to be a floating bridge to cross the river
Severn

Dr. Gibney, now senior physician of the hospital at Chel-
tenham, and who has been residing in that place for the last
38 years, testified to the advantage which the line would be
to the town in the removal of a bad neighbourhood, and by
permitting the access of fresh air not only to the hospital but
to the houses near to it. Within the last few days he had
been over the property which would be removed fur the rail-
way, and he could say that the places were a disgrace to
the town. On many accounts the proposed station of the
Great Western It tilway would be the best of the two. Ac-
cowling to the present arrangements the hospital would have
to be removed to the distance of a mile and a-half from its
present site, but there was to be a branch dispensary, so
that no inconvenience would be felt from the change.
Several other wttnesses were examined relative to the re-
spective advantages of the opposing lines in their course
through Cheltenham, and the Committee adjourned at Four.

DEATH OF SIR WALTER SCOTT.—Died of dysen-
tery at the Cape of Good Hope,on his way hone from Madras,
Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Walter Scott, Bart., of Abbotsford,
eldest son and last surviving child of the author of " Waver-
ley." Sir Walter was born in 1801, and was a Lieut.-Colonel
in the 15th Hussars. The baronetcy is extinct, but the
Abbotsford property passes to Walter Scott Lockhart, a
Cornet in the 16th Lancers, the only son of the editor of the
Quarterly Review, and the only grandson of the author of
" Waverley." Sir Walter was married in 1825, to a Miss Jobson,
of Lochore, Fife, who still survives to lament, as all who knew
him must do, an excellent officer, with many amiable quali-
ties and much kindness of heart.

SOY BY A SCHOOLMASTER.

Sir J. BAYLEY applied to the Court on behalf of the Rev.
J. Iraman, the head master of the Grantham Grammar-
school, for a certiorari, to bring up an indictment preferred
against him at the Borough Sessions of Grantham, for an
assault upon a boy mobile in the act of punishing him for some
misconduct. It appeared that the schoolmaster, Dr. Iranian.
had been summoned by a gentleman named Payne, for an
assault upon his son, who happened to be one of Dr. Ira-
man's scholars. When the case came on to be heard, the
justices were of opinion, that as the parties stood in the rela-
tion of master and scholar, and as the assault com-
plained of was made for the purposes of discipline,
that the case should go to some of the superior
courts, and an indictment was preferred at the
Borough Sessions. Great excitement prevailed in the bo-
rough, a committee had been appointed to inquire into the
rules established by the head master, and a petition had been
presented by the Bishop of Lincoln praying for inquiry into
the same subject. The applicant considered, that in conse-
quence of the strong feeling awakened with reference to the
case in the borough, he would not have a fair trial, so he
accordingly made au application to the Court.
Rule granted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

James Fisher, a ruffianly looking fellow, was charged by
Mr. John Harvey, landlord of the Phoenix Tavern, Stacey-
street, Soho, with obtaining four pots of porter, and refusing
to pay for them.

C'oi-nplainant stated that on the previous afternoon, about
four o'clock, the prisoner, with four others, entered his house,
and called for four pots of porter. Not knowing the character
of the men, the beer was supplied to them. Witness was
subsequently informed that the prisorer and his companions
belonged to a regular gang of what are termed " mouchas,"
that iA fellows who are in the hanit of visiting various public
houses, and after partaking of refreshments, refused to pay,
and invariably assaulted the persons who obstructed them in
thtir nefarious proceedings. Witness, therefore, demanded
payment for the porter, when be was assailed with the
grosse:4 abuse imaginable. The prisoner's companions made
their es..cape, but witness detained the prisoner till a police
constable arrived and took charge of him.
Police constable 124 F, said be was on duty in Stacey
street, on the previous afternoon, when he was called by last
witness to take charge of the prisoner, for refusing to pay for
some porter which he bad partaken of. Ou their way to the
station-house the prisoner kicked him on the legs several
times, and attempted to knock him down.
Lester, the deputy gaoler, recognised the prisoner as be-
longing to a gang who have long been in the habit of vic-
timising the various publicans and coffee-houses in the
metropolis.
The prisoner, who treated the charge with the greatest in-
difference, was committed to the House of Correction for
one month, and hard labour.

" Gentlemen,—l respectfully and heartily thank you
for the kind and touching address with which you have
honoured me.
" I cannot follow you through your eloquent recital
of the incidents and characteristics of my beloved father's
life. The blow is too recent for me to dwell upon de-
tails. I can but say that he lived and died devoted to

poor Ireland.
" For your consoling assurance that you will follow
his counsels I most fervently thank you. I disclaim the
totally inappropriate title your kindness and desire to
encourage my feebleness have induced you to endeavour
to fix upon me. In the struggle for repeal I can fill but
a subordinate place, but in that place I pledge myself to
labour to follow out his precepts and his counsels
heartily, earnestly, and to the JOHN O'CONNELL."
Letters or,::ondolence on the less which Ireland has
su.alined, from Newry, Wexfore, Clonmel, Edinburgh,

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

MAIDSTONE.—The bine continues to grow, although
not so tact during the last few days, the nights being cold.
The fly is decrea'ing. What tew there are will mostly
be round hi the runners on the ground.
LITTLE CHART AND PLUCKLEY.—The bine is grow-
ing very fast. bui much infested b) fly.
BETHERSDEN AND SHARDEN.—The bine in general is
growing very lust, and looks promising.
BIDDENDEN —The bine generally is growing well,
and looks very healthy. The fly during the last few
days has been rather on the increase.
13hFricHLEY.—The bine continues to make great pro-
gress, although thickly beset with fly.
CamhisnooK.—We have a Considerable increase of fly
since our last report, but it has rot, retarded the progress
of the bine, which still continues healthy and in a
flourishing state.

GOUDHIRST, JUNE 6.—We are getting very full of
fly; as many as fifty or sixty on a leaf in some gardens,
though at present not quite general. The bine is in
~,tieral good, though getting rather yellow from the
cold nights we have had of late.
HEATHFIELD, JUNE s.—The bine continues in a very
growing state, but the unpropitious " north-easter" of
the last week is bringing the fly in rapidly incretoing
numbers; so much so, that where from twenty to thirty
only were to be found on Tuesday, from forty to fifty
were counted on Thursday, since which the virulence of
the wind from the same point has still further increased
their number ; and its rage during the last night must
have also in exposed gardens considerably ruffled the
bine, the gale still continuing with periodical and tem-
pestuous gusts. A warm shower of several hours'
duration would now doubtless be very timely, as well
for hops as for the crops generally, the seedling crops
especially.
MAYFIELD.—The hops are very full of fly; the bine is
altogether very strong and healthy, and at present seems
not the least injured by the fly.
PEASMARSH, JUNE 3.—The hops in the neighbour-
hood are growing rapidly and are of good colour ; since
Saturday last fly has made its appearance and increases
daily.
SALEHURST.—The late beautiful weather has pro-
duced its effect on the corn and hops in this neighbour-
hood to a surprising degree. There is a great increase
of flies on the hop bine in this and the adjoining parishes,
but the bine grows at a most rapid rate.
