and by ARIIVABENE. This laudable system
of repetition, or rather of revival, was adventured
upon during the proceedings of Thursday, when
BLANout reminded his auditors ofthe pernicious and
demoralizing tendencies of protection, as testified
(among a multitude of other instances) in its propa-
gating, and encouraging to an enormous extent the
odious traffic of systematic smugglers. He insisted
upon the villanous effects of these contraband prac-
tices upon national commerce and national morality
-stating that upwards of 150,000,000 f. worth was
annually smuggled into Spain, and that he himself,
while sojourning in that peninsula, had visited
certain extensive contraband warehouses, and had
there seen " women, seemingly in an interesting
situation, safely delivered of goods, and stout old
gentlemen reduced to slim striplings," by the adroit
fingers of their companions. Another of the Bel-
gian advocates of free trade humorously remarked
that the Free-traders had been compared to
Don Quixotes, and that he cordially accepted
the comparison, " for the arguments of the Pro-
tectionists prove to be windmills instead of giants,
flocks of sheep instead of solid argumentation."
Whatever gratification will redound to the Free-
traders of the United Kingdom in observing the
progress of their principles throughout the conti-
nent, it is most certain that the periodical con -
vocation of the Congress will be most distasteful to
the agricultural followers of Lord G. BENTIscx,
seeing that it will remind them of the castigations
from which they have scarcely yet recovered.

to the residen-ce of the Sardinian Minister, and
shouted Long live Charles Albert !" Long live the
ally of Pius 1X Italian independence for ever!'
The windows of the hotel were immediately
lighted up, and the ambassador appeared, waving a
white pocket-handkerchief as an expression of thanks,
it being impossible to make himself heard. The
hymn. of Pius IX was then performed ,by a military
bind, after which the word ' • ' ' *(a ma) was
pronounced in the crowd, entt , ogle immedi-

martyrs of Cosenza!' There was to be a grand illu-
mination this evening." •

A letter from Leghorn of The 10th says'
" Crowds are still assembled in the streets.
The clandestine press has resumed all its activity,
and preaches up the necessity of a constitution.
The news of the manifestation which took place
at Genoa on the Bth, when known at Leghorn,
gave a fresh impulse to the popular effervescence.
The arrival of the Prince de Canino from Rome,
who, wearing the uniform of the National Guard of
Rome, has been the object of a popular ovation, added
not a little to keep up the excitement. Muck anxiety
is felt on the subject of the movement at Florence,
which, as I mentioned yesterday, is to take place on
the 12th. It appears that the radical party wishes to
being about another Ministerial modification, and to
have a constitution proclaimed. In the meantime the
Grand Duke has ordered his troops to wear the
Tuscan cockade, and has adopted it himself, after
giving up the colours which he bore as Archduke of
Austria. The people express great satisfaction at this
change."
We read in the Alba of Florence of the Bth that
Count FERRETTI, on his arrival at Pavia, was
arrested.

The most extensive preparations have been made
for the contemplated meeting at Holycross, in the
county of Tipperary, of tenant-farmers and others in-
terested in the tenant league movement. We have
long advocated the extension of what has been termed
g‘ The Ulster Tenant Right" to all parts of the coun-
try. It has been found that the districts in which it
prevails are peaceable and tranquil; that the relations
between the owners and occupiers of the soil are of
the most amicable description ; that the holdings are
properly cultivated, and the lands brought into the
utmost state of fertility ; and, as a natural conse-
quence, that the rents are punctually paid, and every
fair claim satisfied, while the farmers enjoy that degree
of comfort to which their industry and probity so
fully entitle them. Every writer on Ireland
has recognised the truth of these statements,
which is further confirmed by the report
of the Commission on the Law of Landlord and
Tenant in Ireland, of which the Earl of DEVON was
at the head.

A letter from Florence, in giving an account of
the grand fete which was celebrated in consequence
of the decree to institute the Civic Guard, states that
whilst the crowd was assembled before the Pitti Pa-
lace, shouting " Long live the Grand Duke !" " Long
live Pius IX. !" a deputation went to the Grand
Duke, to offer him on the part of the people a flag of
the Tuscan colours, red and white. In his reply to
the speech cf the deputation, the Grand Duke pro-
nounced, we are informed, these remarkable words :
"Be assured, gentlemen, that I am, above all, an
Italian Prince ! Was I net born at Pisa, and have I
not always been your brother ?" He then appeared
on the balcony, and displayed before the people the
flag which had just been offered him. Our readers
may conceive all the effect which such a demonstra-
tion must have produced on the crowd.
A letter from Turin of the 12th inst. mentions that
the Pope's Envoy, Monsignor Coanou Bussr, was
empowered by his Government not only to conclude
a political alliance with Tuscany and Piedmont, but
also a Customs' union between the different states of
Italy.

It is easy to trace the causes to which these
happy results may be ascribed. The riots and dis-
turbances that are- unfortunately se prevalent in
other localities may invariably be traced to agrarian
causes. Hitherto the Irish peasant was wholly de-
pendent on the possession of a piece of land for the
means of supporting existence : if ejected therefrom
his prospects were of the most melancholy description;
there was no market for his labour, and however in-
dustrious he might be, and anxious to earn his daily
bread by his own exertions, he had no means of doing
so, an*l until the passing of the Act of last session, he
had no legal claim to a maintenance, of even the
humblest description, out of the property of his country.
It was to him, therefore, a matter of life and death to
retain the holding of which he had once been in pos-
session. And with this intent and object secret and
illegal associations were formed, which established a
certain code for the regulation of all matters con-
nected with land, under which the landlord or agent,
who ejected the occupants, and any persons who
dared to become tenants to the vacant tenements,
were visited with the heaviest penalties. Their
cattle were houghed and maimed, the produce of their
lands burned, or otherwise destroyed, and but too
often their lives sacrificed to the feeling of vengeance
excited. It is needless to say persons banded to-
gether for an illegal object will carry the sphere of
their operations farther than was originally intended,
and thus there was a confederacy existing in every
part of the country prepared to carry any
act, however atrocious, into execution, and to
oppose in every manner the execution of the
law. Hence the turbulence and outrages
by which the peace of the country was disturbed,
and the law violated and set at defiance. If lands
became vacant, and were offered to be let, the com-
petition was of the most reckless character. The
Irish peasant, only desirous to obtain possession, trust-
ing to the chapter of accidents to be enabled to re-
tain it; he was willing to assume any rent, to promise
far more than the real value, which it would be
utterly impossible for him to pay, and to afford even
the humblest description of food to his family. In
Ulster, however, this was different; no person was
turned out of possession so long as he was willing to
pay a fair rent fur his holding. If he got into
arrear, he was permitted to dispose of what was
termed his goodwill in the lands to a person ap-
proved of by the landlord, and this goodwill
frequently sold for ten or fifteen years purchase on
the rental, although the outgoing tenant had no
lease, and the tenancy could at any time be termi-
nated by the landlord giving six months' notice to
quit. Such a course, however, was • utterly unknown,
and the fullest confidence was reposed in the land.
lord. No portion of the rental was ever lost to the
latter, because, even if the former occupant was in
arrear, it was satisfied out of the sum payable for the
goodwill before one single shilling was applied to
other purposes. There were, therefore, no differences
or quarrels ; the causes by which they were occa-
sioned were wanting. The landlord having a security
for his rent in the tenant's goodwill, refrained from
unduly pressing him, and all went well. The
tenant [was not afraid to improve his lands, be-
cause he was well aware that himself or his
family would enjoy the fruits thereof, that they
would reap the benefit of the increased value of the
farm either in the length of their tenure, or in the
price that they would receive for it when leaving
possession, whereas in the less favoured districts such
increased value might posiibly be the cause of the
tenant being turned out of the lands, or being sub-
jected to an additional rent. We have already shown
the reason why the rents and all other claims were duly
satisfied, and the greater comfort enjoyed by the
farmer was owing to the fact that the rents assumed
were not beyond the fair value of the lands, and that
there was every inducement afforded for the full ex-
ercise of his industry and the development of all the
capabilities of the soil. ti

A letter from Bologna of the gth announces that
the Duke DE MODENA has retired with his family to
Parma, where Austrian troops were expected.
The Augsburg Gazette of the 11th states that all
the cardinals present at Rome, having assembled at
the Quirinal to take part in the diplomatic delibera-
tions relative to the occupation of Ferrara, came to a
unanimous resolution to call on the Emperor of
AUSTRIA to cause his troops to evacuate the city, be-
fore entering on any negotiation with respect to the
citadel.

CICERONACCHIO has been appointed standard
bearer of the civic guard of Rome.

Private letters from St. Petersburgh of the 7th
instant state that that city has been visited with the
most terrific storm of wind and rain ever experienced
within the memory of the oldest inhabitants. It
rained incessantly for forty-eight hours, whilst the
wind blew with intense violence. The result of this
visitation was the destruction of above 400 houses.
At one period fears were entertained for the safety of
the entire city, and some timid and superstitious per-
sons apprehended that the end of the world was at
hand.

Madrid journals of the 10th and 11th have arrived,

The Duke DR FEJAS had declined to accept the
Presidency of the Council, but at the request of the
QUEEN had promised to reconsider the subject, and to
announce his definite answer to her MAJESTY on the
11th. NARYAEZ, who is intriguing actively in con-
junction with the Duke of IGLocKsuuttau for the
overthrow of the new Ministry, had an interview
with the QUEEN on that day.
The Faro states that an order had been given on
the 6th to send 200,000 reels to General ESPARTERO,
and also to pay the QUEEN'S household. The same
journal states that Marshal SALDANHA has been no-
minated Minister of Portugal in Madrid. M. CA..
BESTANY, the new political chief of Madrid, had ar-
rived, and had immediately entered on the discharge
of his duties. The latest letters from Catalonia men-
tion the defeat of a Montemolinist band of 300 men
at Binolas de Portobella, of another of from 800 to
900 men at Sabadell, and of three or four others of
minor importance at different places.
The Fomento of Barcelona of the 10th inst. states
that the French troops had suprised a band of be-
tween 110 and 115 Carlist refugees, commanded by
CORTASA and Colonel RAMON ARBONES, just as they
were preparing to enter Spain, and that most of them
were taken prisoners. General CONCHA was to ar-
rive at Barcelona on the 12th.

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday
and Thursday.

The Constitutionnel of Wednesday thus comments
on the articles in the Journal des Debats in regard to
the affairs of Italy :
" It gives one pain to read the Journal des Dad:.
It is impossible for anything to be more unfortunate
than it is. For a long time it has been forbidden to
speak of domestic affairs ; scandals have so multiplied ;
the country has expiated so dearly by a painful crisis
the corrupting prodigality of the Ministry, that it has
no longer the means of singing its habitual hymn on
the still increasing proseperity of the country. Foreign
questions are not less perilous. Our glorious Mi-
nistry has reaped so many laurels in Clreece, in Spain,
in Portugal, in Switzerland, that its friends, in order
not to fatigue the public, preserve a modest silence,
and, with regard to Algeria, it has not ventured to
breathe a word, fearing to arouse public opinion, and
to direct its too vigilant attention towards the events
passing in Morocco. There only remains Italy,
which for a long time occupied the forced leisure
of the only Ministerial journal. But here it
has been obliged to follow all the oscillations of
the Cabinet and the variations of the political
barometer. Should public opinion declare it-
self in an alarming manner, the Debats sings
a patriotic air; and if on the morrow alarm should
be felt on the subject of Austria, it preaches on the
advantages of the Holy alliance. In order to cover
its versatility with an appearance of justice, in order
to be able alternately to blow hot and cold on Italy,
the Debats has imagined a curious plan, which is the
invention of a moderate party, an ideal and fantastic
party, to which it attributes all the good past, pre-
rnaot cdalr,e
pre-
sent, and to come, and the imaginary existence of
which permits it to also suppose other partiLs—

moment the Debuts makes use or
not aspect of the
wise
its eternal
chorus, and designates as riot, or a
towards liberty, the liberal movement wricahsptihraetiaocn
cession of Pius IX has given birth to. The misfor-
tune is, that this moderate party is nowhere to be
found, and the Debats does itself infinite harm by try-
ing to make its existence believed. A fortnight
since, when a conspiracy was discovered at Rome, the
Debats denied that there had been any plot what-
ever ; it was, it said, an invention of the ultra par-
ties ; it loudly reproached the Roman people with
their impatience and violence, and held up the
example of the Tuscans, who allowed themselves
to be led by the moderate party. At present
the Dibats exclaims with sorrow, that there are no
moderate people in Tuscany ; that they are all in the
Roman States, where they rally round Pius IX.
What authority can our Government have, what sym-
pathy can it hope to excite in Italy, with those per-
petual tergiversations, and this miserable ambiguity?
Would it not be better to preserve silence, than to
give encouragements to-day, and retract them on the
morrow ? and to accompany every mark of sympathy
with a reproach or an insult ? It is because we -wish
to spare Italy from all intervention from whatever
side it may come, that we express our regret at the
pitiful language and the bad conduct of our Cabinet
It is not sufficient to preach up calm and immobility
to people whose patience is nearly exhausted; it is
necessary to know how to well employ that influence

Should the object of the meeting at Holycross
be merely to obtain the extension of
that tenant-right to their own county, or to the en-
tire of Ireland, and full security that the farmers
should be allowed to reap the benefits of the improve-
ments they have effected, or may hereafter effect, we
should gladly afford them every aid in our
power,
and they would deservedly obtain the sympathies and,
co-operation of the public in their struggle. We are
ecnvinced that such a measure would be as much
for the benefit of the landlords themselves, however
much they may be opposed to it at first, as it would
of the farmers. We fear, however, that they will
not be contented with so reasonable and moderate a
course. Much will depend on the manner, in which
they may conduct themselves, and the character of
the resolutions adopted at the meeting. If firm
and temperate, not seeking too much, they
must ultimately prove successful. If, on thu other
hand, they attempt to establish a general combination
against the payment of rents, poor-rates, or other
charges for which they are fairly responsible ; or, if
they seek to gain their objects by means of violence
or disturbance, they will most assuredly fail, and
the leaders of the movement will incur a grave and
serious responsibility. We shall anxiously look for
the accounts of the meeting, and the full development
of the projects of its originators.

A letter from Rome of the Bth says :
" It is impossible to describe the enthusiasm with
which the population celebrated to-day the anniver-
sary of the political amnesty of the Pope. The fetes
commenced on the preceding day by the Prince of
Canino (son of Lucien Bonaparte) and others, in the
uniform of the National Guard, proceeding at the
head of several thousand persons to the residence of
the Tuscan Minister, where they uttered cries in
favour of th? Grand Duke of Tuscany, of the Civic
Guard, and of Italy. The Minister appeared on his
balcony, and cried Long live Pius IX!" The Civic
Guard for ever !' He then said that he was much
affected at such a spontaneous demonstration in
favour of his Sovereign, and he would hasten to in-
form the Grand Duke of it. The Prince de Canino
again shouted Italy for ever!' which was repeated
with the greatest enthusiasm. The crowd neat went

It is rumoured that large sums of money have been 17,1
transmitted to NARVAEZ to bribe the military, and
that he has succeeded in corrupting the fidelity of a
considerable body of the troops, so that a military in-
surrection was imminent. To aid and assist this re- now
hellion of the Afrancesados -an army of observation
is to be assembled" on the frontiers of Spain. The
Ministerial journal, the Revue des Deux Mondes, pub-
lishes an article containing the most atrocious attacks now
. • i
upon the character of Queen ISAnELLA. This Jour- A
nal, in which M. GUIZOT himself writes or revises al 2
the foreign articles, is evidently breaking ground, for

to enable the Duchess DE MONTPENSIER to usurp drridend -
her sister's throne. An army is also to be assembled pressu,
on the frontiers of Italy, and the army in Algiers is b'
to be increased by 10,000 men.
A letter from Algiers says—
" It appears certain that the move made by Abd-
el-Kader is more serious than was generally believed.
Abd-el-Kader was received with acclamations at
Taza, and has left the mountain district, within the
circle of which he has hitherto remained. To have
done this, he must have been assured of finding the
people in his favour, and of not meeting with any
resistance from the troops of Abderrhaman. It is
reported here that General Bedeau wrote to the Go-
vernment, in terms so alarming, that it has sent him
authority to detain with him three regiments that
were to leave Algeria on the arrival of others sent to
relieve them. This will increase the troops in Africa
by 4,000 or 5,000 men ; and it is said that the Go-
vernment will not stop at this point. The Emperor
Abderrhaman has applied to France for assistance."
The Journal des Debals publishes a letter, dated
Melilla 26th August, which says--
1
" Some days after the interview of Abd-el-Kader
with the Spanish Governor of Melilla, the tribe of
the Ghaiatas, residing in the vicinity of Taza, and
which, notwithstanding its sympathies for the ex-
Emir, had been hitherto retained in obedience by the
presence of a body of troops of the Emperor, at last
declared in favour of Abd-el-Kader and carried- its
audacity so far as to attack the Moorish camp. The
conflict was obstinate, but the advantage ultimately
remained to the soldiers of Muley Abderrahman.
Abd-el-Kader, on receiving intelligence of this event,
sent succours to the Ghaiatas. A new encounter en-
sued, and on this occasion the troops of the Emperor
were repulsed with loss. In the meantime the Ina-
madan commenced, and both parties re-entered their
camps. Abd-el-fader shifted his quarters to the ter-
ritory of the Beth Saids, in the very centre of the
Riff, where he intends to spend that period of absti-
nence and rest his men, without, however, losing
sight of the movements of his incautious enemy. Ihe
Emperor, who trembles at the idea of hostilities, had
hoped to frighten Abd-el-Katder by a great military
display. To that effect, he ostensibly collected a
numerous force, and procured from Gibraltar a largo
supply of ammunition • but these tactics, however
skilful, had not succeeded, and if he hopes to main.
taro himself on the throne-he will do well to alter
his course, and not confine himself to vain demonstra-
tions, if he wishes to rid himself of that dreaded
enemy."
It was confidently reported in Paris on Wednesday
that a revolution bad broken out in Naples, and that
the KING had been driven from his capital. The
Debuts declares this rumour to be without the least
foundation.

A grand banquet was given on Tuesday, at Sois-
SODS, to M. LHERBETTE by his constituents. The
entertainment took place under a large tent, taste-
fully fitted up in the Court of the Mairie, the sup-
porting columns of which were decorated with flags,
and bearing escutcheons, on which were inscribed
the mottoes " Political probity," "Civic courage,"
"Electoral and Parliamentary reform." MM. LURIE.-
BETTE, 0. BARROT, and QUINETTE, severally ad-
dressed the meeting. Upwards of 550 persons were

present.
The Journal du Havre says—
" On Tuesday evening the rumours of a descent of
the officers of justice being effected in the offices of
one of our commercial firms, and which was said to
have been immediately followed by several arrests,
threw our town into the greatest astonishment. The
motives of this measure appear to have arisen from
the complaints made in the course of the last session
in the Chamber of Deputies by M. Lefurt Gonssollin
relative to certain abuses in the supply of articles to
French squadrons on foreign stations. On Monday
evening a very strict surveillance of the police was
established in the vicinity of the house No. 12,
Place Louis XVI., in which are the offices of
Messrs. Hantier fits et Decaens, who are engaged in
the coal trade. The object of this surveillance was,
without doubt, to prevent any object whatever from
being removed previous to the domiciliary visit
which was to take place next day. At five o'clock
on the following morning, the Juge d'lnatruction,
the Procureur du Rol, and the Commissary of Police
came to the offices, and proceeded to examine the
hooks and papers, which were afterwards sealed up.
In the course of the day, the Procureur du Roi went
to Graville, where a similar perquisition was made in
a house belonging to one of the partners of the firm.
After these operations, which lasted until the evening,
and which took place in presence of M. Hantier,
jun., the only one of the partners at the moment at
Havre, a warrant for the arrest of that gentleman
was issued, and immediately carried into execution.
In the evening the lieutenant of gudenidspabrmsiteirbine.leftTfboer
Criquetot, where M. Decaens has been staying for
th© last few days, laid up by i
officer was the bearer of a warrant for his arrest, and
he this morning returned after having effected it. NVe
will add that searches, connected n' doubt with the
same affair, have been made in the offices of the
Custom-house of Havre, by an inspector of finance."
A new Ministerial journal, entitled Le Conservateur,
appeared in Paris for the first time on Thursday.
It is said that the Marquis of NORMANDY called
on M. GYJIZOT on Thursday, and officially announced
to him that the British Government would not permit
foreign intervention in Italy. Austria, on the other
hand, had, it was said, announced her intention of
interfering in every town of Italy in which a National
Guard should be established.

The Semaphore de Marseilles of the 13th instant
states that, if the protests of England and France
against the occupation of Ferrara were productive of
no result, those two powers would effect a landing at
Ancona and Civita Vecchia. The Porn was said to
have declared to M. Rossi that he would not, until
the last extremity, claim the assistance of the foreign
powers; and that he still hoped to induce the
Austrians to evacuate the town by the firmness of
his attitude.

It was rumoured on the Bourse, on Thursday, that
M. GUIZOT had refused to concur in any intervention
in the affairs of Italy.
A subscription has been opened in the department
of the Gard to pay the fine of M. TESTE. " This,"
says the National, " is the most insolent outrage on
public feeling that we have ever had to notice.
Everything is done with the utmost solemnity, in the
open face of day, and even a triumphal arch has
been erected at Bagnols with this inscrip-
tion : A Teste, le diets du potpie!' " We
find in the Echo du Midi further accounts of this
matter :—" Lists prepared in Paris (says that jour-
nal), and divided by cantons and communes, are
hawked about by M.
TESTE'S friends, by mayors and
other functionaries. But that is not all—M. TESTE
himself, from his prison, writes letters to thank the
zealous, to animate the lukewarm, and to scold those
who hang back. It is truly a pity that the prevari-
cating ex-Minister has not placed as motto, at the
head of each letter, the phrase by which ke thought
to justify his attempt at suicide Honour was al-
ways dearer to me than life.'"

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.-

The Liverpool Cotton Market has felt severely the in-
fluence-of the monetary pressure, but is now effected
also by the more cheering accounts received upon the
subject of the cotton crop. The decline in American
sorts is about id per lb. thiss week. Sales yesterday
about 2,000 bales. Ransi/ Shares were again very flat.

These changes are worthy of attention, and are
sufficiently clear as to origin. The Bank is preparing
for dividend payments, and yet has to ease;the monetary
pressure in the interim. Its profits (or rest) stands
higher, we believe, than perhaps ever before known, and

its bullion lower, while the mistrust abroad seems to
add to the desire of the trading public to place additional
funds in the Bank (other deposits) to meet all contin-
gencies.

Knowing the reputed wealth of the house of, Reid,

Irving, and Co., and that the firm was generally con-
sidered to have kept aloof from railway or other specu-
lations of magnitude, many parties are chagrined that
it should now appear that the house has such an im-
mense amount sunk upon colonial estates, which if
brought to sale will perhaps never realise one-half their
value. So it appears to be, however, and men
who would have taken the paper of this house a
few months since to almost any amount, now anticipate
but an indifferent result. That excellent private fortunes
should thus be lost and won is indeed much to be de-
plored, not alone because of the mischief occasioned to
the parties failing, but likewise to those who are sound
in their own resources, but unable to sustain the force of
such unexpected losses.
The discount houses have almost refused to enter
further into business operations at present, but we trust
will be soon enabled to manifest more liberality. cer-
tainly these houses cannot be expected to risk their own
resources.

The English Securities have been very heavy, but
there is a pause in the transactions which are very
limited. Consols realise 851 fr for transfer, and 85
for account. Exchequer-btlis have improved to ss. and
Bs. premium, being the safest temporary investment.
East India Stock is at 241.

The Fortign Market is ♦ery heavy. The stoppage of
Reid, Irving, and Co., has necessarily affected Spanish
stock a little, in conjunction with the advices from
Madrid. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 24.
Mexican Bonds have been quoted 18i Brazil Stock
is at *3k.

The Railway Share Market has been in a very heavy
state, but sales have been pressed to rather a less extent
perhaps.

By the Foreman.—The tube broken was in the
top room. The joint in which the leakage broke out
was below. Mr. Meech= never came into the room
whilst I was there, nor do I remember any passengers
coming down.
On the statement being read over, the witness
added that he found the water below the lowest cock
—below the first row of tubes.

Mr. Boccias, of 6, John-street, Adelphi, patentee
of several articles, particularly with respect to gas,
stated that he was sitting on the stern of the boat at
twelve o'clock on the day before the occurrence.
There was a sudden escape of steam near Waterloo-
bridge, the machinery stopped, the steam was let off
by the funnel, and the steam in the engine room
having evaporated, the boat proceeded. He did not
inquire the cause, but he knew that something wrong
was going on. He did not rise to inquire, for fear
of alarming the passengers. The whole occurrence
did not occupy half a minute. The boat stopped
longer at the pier that morning than usual. Did not
notice the valve.

John Alfred Skinner, living at No. 5, Union-ter-
race, Deptford, engine-driver, was next examined—
He said I have been occasionally employed in the
Cricket and the Ant. He seldom remained sta-
tionary in one boat. I very frequently acted as engi-
neer to the Cricket. I found the engines to work
extremely well. They required no extraneous aid to
make them work. The lever valves worked extremely
well. I never saw the screw valves work. The only
weight I applied to the levers was the weight made
by the maker, which I pushed backwards and for-
wards as occasion required. A pulley and string
were placed over the larboard valve to move it up and
down to see if it was free. I never twisted that rope
round a nail. There were plenty of nails, on
which we used to hang our tools, but I did
not hang the rope over any of them. When two
boats ran, the chief engineer devoted his time to the
third boat on the blocks, the engineer of which drove
one of the boats which ran. I remained in the em-
ployment of the company up to the Saturday before
the occurrence. I was last engaged in the Cricket on
the Saturday when the conversation took place with
respect to the valves, by the direction of Clarke, who
called me from the Ant to do so, as he wished to speak
to Mr. Meecham. On that day I noticed that Edwards
was about to tie one of the valves. I told him not to
do so, and whilst doing so I noticed that the other
valve was tied, and I untied it. The rope which tied
the other valve went in a diagonal direction, and was
fastened in front of the boiler. Edwards said his
ordera from Clarke were to tie the valves whenever
the boat started. 1 said he should not do so. I said
" Clarke may do as he likes, but it shall not be
done while [ am on board." Edwards said, if
he did not do it, Clarke did it himself. Edwards
added, " I wish you were going to stop, for surely we
shall be all blown up together." He added, that
when he untied the strings that Clarke used to blame
him and re-tie them. 1 spoke to Clarke about the
tying of the valves the next day, Sunday, in the pre-
sence of Buttress, in the Fox-under-the-Hill. The
conversation arose out of Buttress saying that he had
seen the valves tied very recently, and that he was
surprised Clarke did so, after he had been expressly
directed by Mr. Meech= not to do so. Clarke came
in, and on being taxed with the act, denied it. He
(witness) said, "Ask your stoker." Edwards, who
was present, replied, " Yes, Tom, you know you do;
it is a fact." Clarke was reminded by Edwards that
Mr. Meecham had seen them tied, to which he
(Clarke) replied, " You are a d— liar, and won't do
for me any longer." 1 then heard some words with
Clarke, but they were not about the valves.
I never saw the valves tied, but on the occasion I
have mentioned. The valves in the other boats were
not tied. I know that the engines have been left for
days in the control of a man whose whole career in
engineering science does not date back six months.
He acted as fireman at the time of the explosion. I
never told the proprietors that some serious accident
would occur from the conduct of Clarke. I have
stated to Mr. Foletti that I anticipated some serious
disaster sooner or later, from the way in which the
Cricket was conducted by Clarke.
CORONER—Did you say what you anticipated ?
Witness—Why, I said nothing more than a blow
up.—(Laughter.) I told him that something would
happen from leaving an inexperienced hand with the
engines. I did not, however, mention to him that
the valves were tied. I can't say that I used the
words, " There will be a blow up." I have often men-
tioned it to the captains, the mates, the foremast hands,
and others, when I have seen the Cricket coming in a
state that no one who knew how tomanage a boiler and
engines would allow it to get in. I have mentioned
it. I did not mention it to Mr. Smith when I have
seen him on my boat, because I was not quite certain
that Clarke made a practice of tying the valves. I
have seen Mr. Joyce on board of my boat and the
Cricket, but I did not mention it to him. I spoke
publicly to the crews of the boats about it. Ball,
and in fact no man on board the boat, could possibly
fail to know that the valves were tied. There was a
perpetual motion in the mercury of the Cricket which
prevented me from knowing the exact pressure. I
have seen the mercury at 36 and 40, but not more.
I have however, seen the bubbles up as high as 50.
Knowing the inefficient state of the gauge, I did not
trust to it, but to the valve. The highest pressure I

struck him first, and I dare say half-a•dozen times.
It arose with respect to a lever on the cock at the.
back of the condenser of the Cricket. I saw Mr.
Meacham frequently ; he usually came down into my
engine-room. I thought, like any rational man, that
if the steam could not escape, and a fire was kept up,
that the boiler must blow up. I did not mention the
matter to Mr. Joyce or Mr. Smith, because I thought
if Mr. Smith had been a gentleman, he would have
listened to the complaint of Edwards, and because I
should have been discharged like him.
Mr M. Chambers—Why were you discharged ?
Witness—Because I would not blow up the Ant like
the Cricket.—(Laughter.)
Examination resumed—They might say he was dis-
charged, because he employed an improper person to
drive for him ; but it was not true. Also, that he had

Clarke.
Mr. James You burst your boiler and your
safety-valve was closed.—(Laughter.) I have seen
the Cricket often leave the piers without any steam
blowing off, and when she had got as far as South-
wark-bridge I have seen a sudden escape of steam
from the engine-room. I have been in her Majesty's
navy, and have had some experience in boilers. The
tying of the valves when the word " Stand off" was
given would of course prevent any escape of steam.
This led me to believe that some accident would
occur. All in the company had enough to do. I
have worked often from five in the morning till
twelve at night, in a temperature of 100 degrees. We
are expected not to be absent a minute from the en-
gine-room. I have often come at four, as it was my
business to keep the boat going. During the time
the boats are running you are not allowed on any

A juryman inquired if there was any further evi-
dence with respect to the tying of the valves ?
The CORONER said there was, but seemed to think
that it would be unnecessary to take it.
The inquiry was then adjourned until 10 o'clock
on Wednesday next, when the evidence of Mr. Lloyd
will be taken.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN SHEFFIELD.

This morning, about half-past one, a fire was dis-
covered raging with tremendous fury in the extensive
brewery of Messrs. Rawson and Co., of Pond-lane.
The watchman immediately gave the alarm to Mr.
Birks, one of the proprietors, and a number of
men, and shortly afterwards messengers were
dispatched for the fire-engines. The small en-
gine of the North of England, No. 3, was first
on the spot, followed quickly by those from
the Sheffield Fire-office. Shortly after three
o'clock, three engines from each office were ready

to play the whole of the brewery, the malt chamber,
and malt kiln, were blazing away with tremendous
fury, and continued to do so until after four o'clock,
when the roofs fell in with a fearful crash. This was
followed by another temporary blaze, but the fire was
too far subdued again to break forth with any chance
of making further progress. At the commencement
of the fire the wind blew freshly from the north, and
for some time the flames threatened to communicate
with Mr. Birks' house, but before they reached it the
wind changed, and thus providentially the house and
others were saved from destruction. Inspector
Linley, with Sergeants Blackburn, Matthews, and
Revell, and a body of the police, were actively em-
ployed in keeping order, and some of them engaged
in removing furniture and valuables from the dwell-
ing-houses which appeared in danger. On a cursory
glance at the premises they appear to be completely
gutted, and a quantity of malt was so charred and
caked as to smell something like gingerbread. The
damage done must be considerable, although, as the
fire was burning when our account was taken, the
extent of the injury cannot yet be estimated. ,The
origin of the conflagration is at present a mystery,
but it is supposed to have been accidental. We
understand that the property was insured in the Shef-
field and Sun Fire-offices.—Second Edition of the
Sheffield Iris of Thursday.

DEATU
OF LIEUT.-GENERAL SIR HENRY SHEEHY
KEATING, K.C.B.—We regret to have to record the de-
cease of this gallant field-officer, who (lied at Chelten-
ham, on Sunday last, at the age of 70 years, having
served more than fifty years in the army. Sir Henry
entered the army as ensign in 1793, and proceeded to
the West Indies with the forces under General Sir
Charles Grey. At Martinique he was present at the
gallant affair, at La Trinite, and the attack of Monte
Rouge, and Monte Calabush, where he had his sword
arm broken by a musket shot. At the defence of Bar-
vine camp, which followed, he had his skull fractured
by the splinter of a shell, and being taken prisoner passed
a year and a half in confinement on board a prison-ship,
and was subsequently taken to Rochelle, where he was a
close prisoner for three months. In 1807, being then
lieut.-colonel, he proceeded to the East Indies, in 1808
he commanded the land forces in conjunction with a
naval force under Commodore Rovvlev, at the attack and
capture of St. Paul's, Isle of Bourbori. He was entrusted
with the command of a large force (5,000 strong) in
1810, destined for the attack on Bourbon,' and he had
the honour to plan the attack and conquest of that
island in the most successful manner. He subsequently
commanded the advance of the army in the grand
attack of the Isle of France, and was again wounded.
For his gallant services in the Mauritius, a piece of
plate, value five hundred guineas, was given to him by

WITNESSES AT THE COUNTY COURTS.—On Thurs-
day, at the Bloomsbury County Court, a person was
called as a witness, and he refused to give evidence until
he was paid his expenses. It appeared that the case had
stood over from a former Court for a surveyor to exa-
mine some property on which the action was brought,
and before he gave his evidence be demanded his charge.
The attorney who appeared for the plaintiff offered to
guarantee the witness his charges, but he required imme-
diate pa) ment. The Learned Judge (Mr. Heath) held
that he could only demand for his attendance as a wit-
ness, and must give his evidence before he was paid his
other charges. His fee as a surveyor, as a witness, was
seven shillings, which was all that he could demand. The
sum of seven shillings was handed to the witness, and he
was required to give his evidence. The Learned Judge
laid it down that a witness could decline to be examined
until the sum allowed by the scale, under the rules, was
paid.
TUE BASE TURKISH COIN CASE.--BIRMINGHAM,
FRIDAY.—This morning a man of gentlemanly appear-
ance, named Charles Ellerman, of London, said to be
officially connected with the National Disinfecting As-
sociation, was brought up before the magistrates at the
public office, charged with being implicated with
Damen (now in Warwick Gaol), and two foreigners, as
yet not apprehended, in the manufacturing and issuing
of counterfeit Turkish coin. The prisoner, in the
absence of the Turkish Consul, was remanded until to-
morrow.

THE STORM.—LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.— Since Tues-
day night, the weather in this neighbourhood has been
most tempestuous. The squalls and gusts of wind were
terrific, and no doubt much damage has been committed
at sea. The Mersey presented an awful but picturesque
appearance, and was crowded with inward-bound ves-
sels which had been hurried up by the prevailing west-
erly winds. The mail steamer for Dublin did not sail
yesterday morning or evening, and it was tweve o'clock
before this morning's mail from that city was received
RIGHT REV. DR. WISEMAN.—We believe it is quite
certain that Dr. Wiseman is in communication with the
Queen's Government as Envoy from the Holy See. Dr.
Wiseman's appointment as Vicar Apostolic of London,
ad interim, has come, subsequently to his arrival in
England, and has no connexion with his Lordship's
diplomatic functions. We understand it is i❑ contem-
plation to make some alterations in the Roman Catholic
dioceses, attrnded, probably, by an increase of the Epis•
copate, though not, in the first instance, to any great
extent. It is reported that Dr. Wiseman will ultimately
occupy an ecclesiastical position in London, essentially
the same with that to which he has been already pro-
moted, but the whole subject is undergoing recision at
Rome, and the provisional appointment of his Lordship
is intended to obviate the inconveniences of a protracted
, vacancy of the Sec.

The ordinary half-yearly general meeting of the
proprietors of this company was held yesterday, at one
o'clock, at the -Bridge-house Hotel, London-bridge,
for the transaction of the usual business ; James
Macgregor, Esq., in the chair; but a small number
of shareholders were present, owing, no doubt, to the
unfavourable state of the weather. The seal of the
company having been affixed to the share register,
and the advertisement having been read,
The CHAIRMAN read the report, which stated—
" The directors submit to the proprietors the state-
ment of accounts of the South-Eastern and Conti•
nental Steam-packet Company . for the half-year
ending 31st of July, 1847, which shows a balance
at the disposal of the proprietors of 4,732/. 3s. 3d.
" The directors recommend a dividend of Bs. per
share, the income-tax being paid by the company.
" The passage between Ramsgate and Ostend was '
kept up during last winter at a considerable loss, but
for which the dividend would have been larger. The
directors will not continue the Ramsgate and Ostend
passage this year after the end of October.
" The passage as now performed between Folke-
stone and Boulogne, was three each way daily, and
there is no doubt when the Boulogne and Amiens
line of railway is completed that there will be a great
increase in the number of passengers.
" It is stated that the line will be opened from
Amiens to Nesles, which is six miles from Boulogne,
on the 15th of October, and from Nesles to Boulogne
in January.
" This company will be able to meet the increased
requirements of the public, when the Boulogne and
Amiens line is opened, in the most efficient manner."
The CHAIRMAN concluded by moving the adoption
of the report.
The receipts for the half-year were 12,529/. ss. 9d.
and the expenditure 7,797/. 2s. 6d., leaving a balance
of 4,7321. 3s. 3d., and after the payment of the divi-
dend and income-tax, 153/ 12s. 3d.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed the payment of the
dividend above referred to, which was unanimously
passed.
Mr. SMALE, a director, seconded the proposition for
the reception of the report, and in doing so stated, that
every additional mile of the Boulogne and Amiens
Railway,.that was opened brought them an accession
of traffic, and when the whole of the line was opened
they might look forward to a great increase in the
amount of dividend. The Boulogne and Abbeville
railway was 40 miles in length, 32 miles of which
would be opened by the middle of next month,
leaving little more than six miles to be completed ;
and when it was completed there was no doubt that
the whole, in its progress between the capitals of the
two countries, would pass over it, using the eight
noble vessels possessed by the company, for their pas-
sage from coast to coast. The boats he might appro-
priately term a bridge between the two empires ;
they must pass by their boats, which in construction
and speed were fit to compete with any navy, and
they must pay the company toll, yielding, therefore, a
handsome revenue. Many of his prophecies, with
respect to the South Eastern had been fulfilled, and
he had no doubt •that his prophecies with respect to
the company would also be fulfilled.—(Cheers )
The motion was then agreed to.
Robert Castle, Esq., and John Bragden,
Esq., were
elected directors ; the former in the place of Mr.
Mills, and the latter of Mr. Rich, M.P., who had
resigned.
The motion was unanimously agreed to.
The CHAIRMAN confidently trusted that Mr. Smale's
predictions would be realised,
and that they would
receive an increased dividend. In fact, he had no
doubt about it.
Three cheers having, on the motion of Mr. Judd,
been awarded to the Chairman and directors, the
meeting separated.
