PORTSMOUTH.
REINFORCEMENTS FOR IRELAND.

On the arrival of the news from Indand yesterday, a
special messenger was dispatched by Sir George Grey,
the Secretary of State, to the Isle of Wight, bearing
the news to her Majesty. The messenger travelled to
Gosport by the three o'clock train of the South-Western
Railway, and proceeded to the Isle of Wight in her
Majesty's swam yacht Fairy, which conveyed also his
Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, at seven o'clock.

The Admiralty took the promptest measures for rein-
forcing the squadron and military forces on the Irish
coast. Captain Alexander Mike, C. 8., one of the Lords
of the Board, left the Admiralty yesterday, proceeding
to Portsmouth by the one o'clock train on the South
Western Railway, to order and superintend the equip-
ment of two war steamers to carry forces to Ireland.
The steam frigates Birkenhead and Driver, of six guns
each, were last evening accordingly ordered to be pre-
pared for the sea without a moment's delay. A body of
Marine Artillery was at once drafted for each, and the
victualling and
.arming them proceeded all last night.
They will be ready to leave this morning the first thing,
when a large body of the Royal Marines will be put on
board them. Other ships will follow with further troops,
should occasion require. The Fox frigate will also sail
this morning for Ireland, if her signal orders are carried
out. She was taking in stores and water last night, and
also ammunition.

It is stated on high authority that Chevalier Bun-
sen, who left London two days since, had been recalled
by the King. of Prussia to occupy an important post now
vacant in the Prussian Cabinet. It is also stated that
Lord Palmerston has decided upon sending an English
Ambassador to Frankfort (Lord Cowley is spoken or),
whose office it will be to act as mediator in the Danish
question, and to recommend energetically a settlement
of that question. He will be seconded in this by M.
Bunsen, one of the negotiators in the late armistice. M.
Bunsen is replaced here by the Secretary of Legation,
Prince Lowenstein.—Chronicle.
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—Last night
an attempt was made to set fire to a mill in Bolton, for-
tunately without effect. This afternoon a man was ob-
served in Oxford-road, in this city, loitering about in
such a manner as to attract the attention of the police.
The man observing that he was watched, threw away a
parcel he held in his hand, took to flight and escaped.
The parcel, when opened, was found to contain a quan-
tity of gunpowder and a number of matches. This
evening it has been ascertained that the clubs intend to
assemble at three o'clock tomorrow morning. No ap-
prehension need be entertained, as the authorities are
fully prepared to meet any emergency.
SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF AN INFANT.—Yesterday
morning an inquiry was opened at the Malpas Arms,
Charles-street, Grosvenor-square, before Mr. Bedfbrd,
the Coroner, touching the death of an infant named
Mary Ann Theresa Dore, aged four months, who died
from the effects of arsenic under the following suspicious
circumstances. It appeared from the evidence of nu-
merous witnesses, that the deceased was the daughter
of Mr. Dore, a servant in the employ of Sir Alex-
ander Spearman, a county magistrate. The mother
of the deceased resided with her parents, who keeps
a lodging-house, at Nos. 4 and 5, Lower Grosvenor-
street. During the last two months the deceased had
ben afflicted with the thrush. A visit to the Isle of
Wight, for a change of air, was advised. The child was
prescribed for by members of the faculty both in town
and at the Isle of Wight, the mother returning with it
from the latter place after a very abort sojourn, in con-
sequence of its increased illness. The death taking place
immediately after, suspicions were excited, and one of
the surgeons who had attended it previous to its decease,
Mr. Woolmer, removed the stomach of the child, and
also the intestines, to be analysed. Mr. Rogers, lecturer
on chemistry, now stated that he analysed the contents
of the stomach, and in every experiment he detected
arsenic. He found two grains, which were quite suffi-
cient to cause death. Evidence having been given to
show that none of the medicine that had been prescribed
contained any portion of arsenic, either inadvertently
or otherwise, the mother of the child and the grand-
mother were conveyed to the station-house, the inquiry
being adjourned until Monday next, in order to obtain
the evidence of the surgeon whom the mother stated bad
attended it when at the Isle of Wight.
TIIE LATE MRS. CORHETT.—The remains of !dm.
Cobbett, widow of the late Mr. Cobbett, M.P., were o
Wednesday last conveyed to Farnham, in Surrey, d
ol
at
there intered in the same spot where those of her hus-
band were deposited in 1835. The deceasedelra d}•
seventy-
fifth who
i
was married to Mr. Cobbett in 1792, was n h
year at the time of her death.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS%
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet.
Sales 5,000 to 6,000 bales. There was no change in
prices, and 4,000 tales of American went at 31d. to S4d.
per lb. Railway Shares were flat, and prices were
rather lower.
In the continental advices received today we find
very little news of interest, beyond what partakes of a
political character, and which is more appropriately
discussed in another column of The Sun. From Paris
we have no further information on financial matters,
and there is sonie interest felt to learn how the Govern-
ment will succeed in raising money. The great capi-
talists will, no doubt, endeavour to support the money
market; but whether they will be inclined to risk fur-
ther advances in view of the possibility of French inter-
vention in the affairs Of Italy, remains yet to be seen.
There is a matter which we trust all our contempo-
raries will unite with us in bringing under public con-
demnation, viz., the transmission of forged news by
means of the electric telegraph. It is high time the
company, for its own respectability, should adopt strin-
gent precautions to check such disgraceful and too often
repeated practices, since it is obvious that with very
little exertion the object could be accomplished. Yes-
terday the City was thrown into a high state of excite-
ment by the forged news, and at the west-end, as we
are informed, there were similar scenes of bustle and
scrambling to obtain copies of The Sun newspaper, es-
pecially atter the official contradiction given in Parlia-
ment. All reliance upon telegraphic news will be
destroyed unless the company affords a better guarantee
for its authenticity, and we should be sorry to find even
the shadow of probability given to the idea of interested
motives which the letter of the Times Liverpool agents
would seem to have inspired. The directors of so im-
portant a concern as the Electric Telegraph Company
should be above suspicion.
As was to be expected now the weather is looking
finer, the accounts relative to' the potato crops are be-
coming more satisfactory, and probably a few days will
occasion the recovery of nearly all that hare shown in-
cations of disease. The Corn market is kept steady
to•day certainly, but business has been dull.
The Funds have been quieter to-day, but were natu-
rally rather better when the news of yesterday was
ascertained to be false. Still the anxiety for the
coming struggle is too great to allow of investments at
the comparatively high rates which are now current,
unless there is every assurance of Ireland remaining
peaceable, even when subdued. People of cool judg-
ment have no apprehension of ultimate consequences,
and the abundance of money certainly induces people
to run some risk. Much, however, will depend upon
the continuance of a supply of money stock such as we
have had for some days past, and as is supposed on account
of the Irish banks, for it seems there has been a smart
run for gold at Dublin. Consols opened at 86k -1 for
transfer, and have since been 851 while for " time"
they touched 861, and were last marked 851 1. The
unfunded debt is very heavy at 325. to 345. for the March
bills, and 295. to 345. premium for those of June. East
India Bonds have been 31s. to 335. premium. Bank
Stock is steady at 198. The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. have been 861 and 86.
The Foreign Market is very inactive. Spanish Five
per Cents. have been marked 11.1; Portuguese Old
Bonds, 65;
Mexican, 171 to J; and Grenada, 11f.
Equador Stock is to 2.
Railway Shares have been very quiet. Caledonian
have advanced. Eastern Counties are steady. South-
Western are flatter. Midland much the same. North
Stafford are dull. The French Shares are about the
same as yesterday.

TRADES' DELEGATE MEETING.—Late last night a
number of delegates from the trades of the metropolis
met at the Craven's Head, Drury-lane, by adjournment
from Thursday last, to take into consideration the de-
pressed state of trade among the working classes, its
causes, and the best mode of ameliorating the condition
of the operatives of this country. The chair was taken
by Mr. Bate, a carpenter. A very long conversation
took place upon the question of the best mode of pro-
ceeding in the matter, and subsequently it was decided
that it was desirable to form forthwith a national asso-
ciation of trades for the accomplishment of the objects
specified, upon the principle propounded in the report
passed at a former meeting. Thanks were then voted
to the chairman, and the delegates separated at mid-
night, it being previously determined that a committee
should be appointed to prepare a code of laws, and
present them to a meeting to be held upon a future day.
