THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 17, 1846.

organised, and offences that disgraced the country
had their origin in the party feuds, the religious dif-
ferences thus created and kept up ; secret signs and
pass words were made use of, by which the members
of either confederacy became known to their
associates, and the ignorance of these secrets too
frequently was avenged by the most outrageous
assaults on the person unable duly to respond on
being interrogated. Not a meeting could take place,
whether for business or pleasure without the public
peace being broken, the public tranquillity dis-
turbed by contests and fights between the opposing
factions—human life too frequently became the
sacrifice, and riot and bloodshed affixed a stain
on the locality. Of late years the superior classes
have seen the folly of these exhibitions. On the
passing of the Act for the Suppression of Secret So-
cieties (one of the most beneficial, for Irelatid gene-
rally, that could bee brought forward), the Grand
Orange Lodge, in obedience to the dictates of the
law, declared the dissolution of the society ; and the
better disposed and more prudent of its members
withdrew from all further communion therewith.
Unfortunately the more violent members, who
were well aware of the influence and power
which the system gave them among their

poorer brethren, did not exhibit the same obedience
to the law, the same wise submission ; they set aside
the opinion of the majority, adopted steps to evade
the law that pronounced their body an illegal one,
and throughout the entire country denounced the
seceders as traitors to the cause : there was no longer
anything of discretion or judgment in the pro-
ceedings of the society ; those qualified to
counsel were no longer of them, and their
every act exhibited the grossest folly, the
most unceasing obstinacy and mental blind-
ness. The Party Processions Act for a time
mitigated the evil, but it was not without the
greatest exertions on the part of the Executive that
the processions were kept down. Strange as it may
appear, vast bodies of the people were prepared to
undergo severe punishments and stringent penalties,
rather than consent to refrain from the comme-
moration of events long since past and gone—
the celebration of the triumph of principles
that happily no longer prevail. A juster, a more
equitable principle has been enunciated. Ireland is
henceforward to be placed on a footing of perfect
equality with England in her civil, political, and mu-
nicipal institutions. No man hereafter is to be the
sufferer fcr the religious feelings he may conscien-
tiously entertain, and every man will be allowed to wor-
ship his CREATOR in the manner which he deems the most
correct, and opinion will no longer be controlled by
penal enactments or civil or religious disabilities. It

is, then, the duty of a Government, extending tole-
rance to all, to take care that insults shall no longer
be offered to any, and to interpose their authority
for the prevention of such ridiculous, but injurious
proceedings. In the language of the County Cavan
memorial, there is yet time, during the present ses-
sion, for the passing of such enactment. We cannot sup-
pose that opposition would be offered from any quarter,
and if it should be neglected, much mischief may
occur during the ensuing recess, which it may take
many years to remedy, and a serkus responsibility
will be incurred by the Government. We place every
confidence in the good intentions of our present
Administration, and we sincerely hope that measures
will be adopted by which the majesty of the law
may be vindicated, the peace of the country may be
preserved.

The following is an extract of a letter from Con
stantinople of the 29th of July :

" Great changes are Foot] expected in the Turkish Ca-
binet. The present Minister of Finance, Hafiz Pacha, is
to be replaced the first, and then the Grand Seraskier,
Kosrew Pacha. The successor to Hafiz is not yet known,
but for the post of Seraskier, it is Riza Pacha, who is gene-
rally designated. It may even be admitted as certain that
Riza Pacha, in place of being named Minister of Finance,
would have been at once appointed Seraskier, had it not been
for the arrival of Mehemet Ali. You are aware that the
Viceroy of Egypt and Kosrew Pacha are old enemies ; the
dismissal of Kosrew occurring at the same moment as the
arrival of the Pacha of Egypt would have been interpreted
as a desire to flatter his sentiments, and that is what the
Government wishes to avoid. The dismissal of Hafiz and
Kosrew will net certainly be disagreeable to Reschid
for since his accession to the Ministry he has constantly been
on bad terms with these two Ministers. They belong to the
old school of corruption, and each act of their life is in
flagrant opposition to the principles which Reschid Pacha at
present represents. In Turkey, M. de Bourqueney had assured
Sir S. Canning that he agreed perfectly with him in the pro-
test which he had made, as senior of the diplomatic corps.
against the nomination of fitza Paella to the finance depart-
ment. The Internuncio of Austria also used strong language
on this occasion."

Letters have been received from Rome to the 3d of
August.
Several towns having petitioned the POPE to with-
draw from the Jesuits the monopoly of education,
which they have hitherto enjoyed, his Holiness decided
that, at the re-opening of the schools in November
secular priests, chosen amongst those who offer satis-
factory guarantees of morality and capacity, should
replace the Jesuits, wherever the mayors of towns and
bishops should think it advisable. This declaration
of the POPE produced such a sensation, even amongst
the people of Rome, that his Holiness, in proceeding
to the Jes uits' church, on St. Ignatius' day, to hear
mass, was greeted with cries of "Accept nothing
from these men, they are quite capable of giving you it
boccone !" (poison.)

His Holiness has dismissed M. MARINI, the
Governor of Rome, for having attempted to prevent
the director of the opera from representing The
Clemency of Titus.

The Pore has sent a Vicar-General to Imola,
retaining to himself the title of Bishop of that city,
in order to be able to devote the revenues of the see
to the relief of the poor and the completion of the
cathedral.

In order to be able to become acquainted with the
claims of persons unable to approach his person, Pius
IX. has had put up, near his palace, a box for the
reception of letters, of which he alone has the key.

The German Diet, at present sitting at Frankfort,
will first of all take into consideration, a project of
law for the regulation of the censorship of the press,
and afterwards will proceed to the consideration of
the succession to the Duchies of Schleswig and
Holstein.

Accounts from Berlin state that the labours of the
Congress of the Zollverein, sitting in that city, were
nearly terminated, but that the difficulties raised in
the last Congress of Carlsruhe have been renewed,
and no solution could consequently be effected. The
southern states of Germany had protested anew against
all increase in the tariff duties on cotton threads, whilst
the northern states claimed that augmentation as
indispensable for the prosperity of their manu-
factures. The Prussian Government, thus placed
between the prohibitive system, and the system of
free trade, will, it is said, confine itself to publishing,
after the close of the session of the Congress, an im-
partial statement of the debates, in order to prove to
the merchants, manufacturers, and agriculturists of
Germany, that the long desired solution of these
questions can only be arrived at when the general
interest shall have succeeded in triumphing over pri-
vate interests.

By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-
ship Queen, which arrived on Sunday, intelligence
has been received from Lisbon, of the 10th. The
concentration of the Spanish army on the Portu-
guese frontier had excited considerable alarm in
Lisbon, where it was not doubted but that the real
object of the threatened invasion was to promote a
counter-revolution in favour of the brothers CABRAL.
The Portuguese Government had sent a few troops
to the frontier, and were fitting out some vessels of
war, but their main reliance is on England, for they
feel convinced that the British Government will not
permit Spain to invade the Portuguese territory
on any of the pretexts hitherto put forward. The
Miguelites, meanwhile, are endeavouring to turn
any confusion that may arise to their own profit.
General MACDONNELL, an active Miguelite partisan,
was known to be in the province of Tras-os-Montes,
endeavouring to excite an outbreak. Some of the
officers of the Albion have, at the request of Lord
HOWARD DE WALDEN, been dispatched to the frontier
to observe the movements of the Spanish troops.
Their presence will afford a guarantee to the Portu
guese that England will not quietly allow Spain to
invade their country.
Great complaints were made in Lisbon of the
scarcity and dearness of bread and oil. A monetary
crisis seems at hand. The discount on Bank of
Lisbon notes had at one time risen as high as 15
per cent. The bank directors have, however, issued
notice to the following effect

1. That all Perseus waling te capital* the ilotee they
. _ "

hold will be allowed interest at the rate of 9 per cent., pay-
able quarterly.
2. That all the notes in circulation will be paid within one
year.
3. That the bank will give in exchange for its notes equi-
valent value in inscriptions of the public debt, shares of com-
panies, and other pledges which it holds in deposit, all which
are to be put up to auction for eight days.
The discount was in consequence brought down to
6 per cent., which was the rate at the time the packet
left.

Madrid papers to the 10th August have been re-

ceived.

The return of NARVAEZ to Madrid may be shortly
expected. The Esperanza states that his petition to
the QUEEN for permission to return is warmly sup-
ported by the French Government, and therefore
there is every reason to believe that it will be
granted. Several persons have been arrested at
Cordova, charged with being concerned in a Carlist
conspiracy. The .E'co del Comerio repeats the
rumour that the Government had ordered all' the
troops to retire from the Portuguese frontier, and the
Clamor Publico again asserts that GONZALES 13aAvo
has been recalled.

His MAJESTY will open the Chambers in person on
Monday. On the anniversary of his accession to the
throne his MAJESTY pardoned 502 criminals, of
whose conduct in prison favourable reports had been
received.

M. SAUZET is the Ministerial candidate for the
Presidency of the Chamber of Deputies. " We trust,"
says the Journal des Debuts,

" That no member of the majority will attempt to create a
division by supporting any other candidate, which certainly
would lead to no result. M. Sauzet is the candidate of the
Conservative party, and to vote for any other Deputy would
be voting for a candidate of the Opposition. Let every one,
therefore, make a sacrifice of his pretensions and private
preferences! There are, no doubt, amongst the majority
several eminent men who might divide the suffrages of the
Chambers, if M. Sauzet was not, as it were, in possession of
them. It is of importance to-day that the first political
vote of the Conservative party should be an unanimous one.
We are bound in justice to declare, that though other Depu-
ties might make as good presidents as M. Sauzet, yet the
Chamber would not easily find a more faithful and more
devoted one."• •

On Friday evening an accident of a trifling nature
occurred on the Versailles Railway. The following
account is from the Gazette des Tribunaux

" The mail train from Paris to Rouen leaves at twenty-
five minutes past seven, and the train for St. Germains at
twenty-five minutes to eight. The Rouen train had scarcely
left the station when the engineer, perceiving that the
engine worked badly, stopped at the Batignolles,
either to change it or take a second engine.
The conductor of the Versailles train, which started
five minutes after the Rouen train, having perceived the
signal for stopping, slackened his speed, and stopped
the train a short distance from the Rouen one. But the
train of St. Germains coming up, and the engineer being
unable to arrest its progress in time, both came in violent
contact with each other. We have not yet learnt the full
particulars of the accident, but from what has already
reached us it would appear that the passengers escaped with
only slight contusions. A single passenger alone was se-
riously wounded, and which entirely resulted from his leaping
from the top of a carriage. As soon as the alarm and con-
fusion had subsided, the passengers resumed their seats in the
carriages, and the three trains continued their course."

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT

The tenth sessions in the present mayoralty were opened
this morning at the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey, be-
fore the Recorder, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, and Al-
dermen Wilson, Challis, and Hughes.
The calendar on this occasion presents a heavy list, there
being in all 245 prisoners committed for trial on various
charges during the present sessions.
Among the prisoners waiting for trial there are—for ar-
son 1, burglary 5, bigamy 1, uttering counterfeit coin 17,
cutting end wounding 8, embezzlement and forgery 20,
horse-stealing 2, larceny of various descriptions 149, man-
slaughter 2, demanding money with menaces I, misdemeanor
13, murder 2, administering poison 1, rape 1, receiving stolen
goods 9, robbery 10; 37 of the prisoners have been committed
in London, 164 in Middlesex, 3 in Essex, 6 in Kent, and 35
in Surrey.
The RECORDER, when the grand jary had been called
and sworn, addressed to them the following charge :—Gen-
tlemen of the grand jury, the number of prisoners whose
names appear on the calendar, standing charged with dif-
ferent offences, is 245, and there is some reason to expect
that in the course of the present week that number will be
augmented to somewhere about 300 or more, at least before
the termination of your labours. I am afraid, therefore,
that you must expect to be employed for some time with
that public business on which you are about to enter,
but it is a duty from which you will not shrink—
a duty !devolved upon you by law in connexion
with this Court. The list presents a great num-
ber of offences, many of them of a very serious nature, and
of deep public importance. There are two for murder;
several, at least six, for cutting and maiming, with intent
to do some grievous bodily harm; no less than three for
manslaughter, or that criminal act involving the taking
away of life, which only comes short of the crime of murder;
one for rape; three for assault, with intent to commit rob-
bery; seven for robbery, besides other important charges,
involving the use of violence in the commission of the
offences. It is lamentable to find that offences, crimes
implying violence in the commission of them, and
the crimes of cutting and wounding with intent to
do some bodily harm, appear to be on the increase—
certainly they are not diminishing. Within the last
few years, the use of the knife in cases of provocation
and quarrel, a practice at one time almost unknown in this
country—the use of dangerous weapons for offensive pur-
poses, instead of having recourse to mere bodily strength, is
become unhappily rife. Where the cases appear to you on
the evidence to be fully made out, you will feel it your duty to
put them in the course of further inquiry. On the charges
which will be presented to you of cutting and wounding with
intent to do some grievous bodily harm, I have but one re-
mark to make, and it is this, that if you shall find that a
person receiving provocation employs the knife or other in-
strument in such a way as leads you to put the con-
struction upon such conduct that the party intended
to do that which, according to the evidence, has taken
effect—if, for example, you find a person striking with
a drawn knife, and the; weapon taking effect on the body
of another, you will put the entire charge in the course of
further investigation. But if, on the other hand, in a charge
for cutting and wounding, the jury shall see that cir-
cumstances will warrant it, you will discharge the
prisoner of the violent intention, and commit him
to take his trial for the aggravated assault. Gen-
tlemen, your duty merely is to put the case in
the course of further inquiry, it is for the petty jury to try
whether or not the offence charged against the prisoner has
been committed by him, you have only to inquire as to the
fact of dangerous weapons having been used, and whether
they were used with the intention of doing bodily harm, and
to send the case for further investigation accordingly.
Among the cases of murder, one, unhappily, is a charge of
child murder. There is nothing in that case which is peculiar;
handkerchiefs were found on the mouth or throat of the
child, then dead. These suspicious circumstances would na-
turally excite a doubt whether in case the child had been still
born the party would have resorted to that which, if the
child had been alive, would have the effect of putting it to
death. I have said that, not to prejudice you, but that you
should put the case in the way of fuller inquiry, and I
say no more, because they are circumstances which may
receive some answer when they come to be investigated. But
the fact of a child having been found dead under these cir-
cumstances is enough for you sending it before a petty jury.
There is another charge of murder—one which will require
some investigation on your part. The first question which
will occur in that case is, how the party met with
her death, whether it was by a fall, involving no other
person in the guilt, or whether it was by violence,
inflicted by another; whether it occurred through the vio-
lence of another throwing her down stairs, or from herself
falling down stairs. The next question, if you find that
the death has been occasioned by another party, will be,
whether the evidence points to any individual, and whether
there be sufficicient connexion between the party who did the
deed and the person charged in that evidence. The safer
course will be if the evidence is not ,sufficiently clear, to
throw out the bill until more evidence can be subsequently
got, for if you put the prisoner on his trial upon evidence
which will not bear a conviction, and the bill be thrown out,
it will be very iuconvenientif other and clearer evidence should
afterwards arise. But if you see that there is sufficient evidence
of both, you will put it in the course of further inquiry. I
have said that because you ought not to inquire merely into
the cause of death, and, supposing that there was enough to
satisfy you on that point, so to send it before another Jury ;
you must be satisfied that the party died by violence, and
that that violence was inflicted by the prisoner. I have
read the depositions very carefully. Ido not presume to
form any definite opinion on the case, but I recommend you,
if you shall find that the cause of death is something beyond
the party dead, and that the evidence points out the person
who is charged as being that cause, then you will put it in
the course of further investigation.
If you are not satisfied
fully on these points it will be better to leave it to the pos-
sibility of more evidence arising, than to send the case on
to meet with an acquittal on unsatisfactory evidence. There
are either three or four cases of manslaughter; two of them
of a len serious aspect. In the case where a blow hav-
ing been applied to a child resulted in the death of the
child, the question will be whether the violence is of such a
character, that the person is chargeable with an unlawful
act, and hat of such a kind, towards a child, as will involve
the crime of manslaughter. Another of these charges arose
out of very peculiar circumstances and was of the utmost
public importance. The party is charged with negligence in
the conducting of an engine, so that he ran into another train,
to the great danger of life to many in that train. The inquiry
here was, whether the person appointed to conduct the en-
gine, seeing the usual signals, ought to have increased his
caution, and whether he neglected that caution and
conducted himself recklessly, and with such rash.
nes! as would amount to criminal negligence, and, therefore,
i

involving the crime of manslaughter. I need not state to
you that where persons having the care of engines, with
the lives of individuals depending upon these engines,
and with the usual signals given for precaution, neglect these
signals when given, and by thatcrirninel negligence are the
cause of death to one or more individuals—these persons so
acting are chargeable with manslaughter. I recommend
you to put this case in the course of further investigation ;
it is enough fur you if, when warnings have been given,
by signals with which the party is acquainted, these war
ings have been neglected and the party has thereby become
the cause of death. On the charges for robbing there is no-
thing to require the construction of a point of law ;
they are charges of great public moment, but
still the question is rather one of fact than
of law, and you will find no difficulty in the
application of the law. It, however, I am mistaken,
and anything does arise to perplex you, the Court, however
constituted, will be ready to afford you any aid, and there
is a most able and intelligent officer of the Court, who
will always be happy to lend his assistance to
the grand jury on questions of law or evidence.
I have only to remark on the case of arson, that the charge is
not for feloniously setting fire to a house in the possession of
another party, not for exposing the life of any party to immi-
nent danger, but for setting fire to a house in the occupation
of the party himself, with the intention to defraud another;
that other being an insurance company where the property was
insured. You will haye to inquire whether the house was
accidentally on tire, or whether fire was set to it ; whether
the house itself—the frame-work and timbers being on fire—
was in this condition by the wilful act of any person, and if
so, whether the circumstantial evidence, the fact of his
having an interest in the destruction of the property, and his
conduct on the occasion, be such as to lead you to suspect the
person charged with the act. If you find this, you will put
it in the course of further investigation by trial before a
petty jury. Already I have saiu that aid is within
your reach if any difficulty occur, and I think I need
hardly repeat what you yourselves must have heard or seen,
that you must make no presentment but by a majerity of
your number. It is necessary that 12 oat of 23 make it,
as the law does not allow less than the number on a petty
jury to find a bill against any prisoner committed for trial.
I am sure that you will not dismiss any case without making
sufficient inquiry into the particulars of the evidence • and
on the other hand, gentlemen, if you are satisfied with the
evidence given by the first two or three witnesses, it will
not be necessary to press it further. I now dismiss you to
the discharge of your duties.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Fitzgerald was charged with creating a disturbance at
the Boar's Head public-house, Clare-street, Clare-market.
The whole case arose out of a question of right. The coin-
plainant, a ➢lr. Davis, said that he had purchased the house
of the former landlord, a Mr. Hawker, and produced an
agreement and some receipts in proof of the sale.
On the other hand, the defendant produced a lease, an
agreement, and a license (which had been transferred to him),
iu proof of a prior sale.
Mr. Davis stated that the prisoner and his wife came to
the house on Saturday—he being then in possession—and
brought with them " half a dozen Irishmen." They said
that the house was theirs, and the goods and fixtures also,
they having bought them of Mr. hawker; and they were
determined to take and maintain possession. They remained
until a policeman came up and took the prisoner and his wife
into custody. (They were both taken to the station-house,
and were got out. on bail, but Mrs. Fitzgerald being ill and
unable to attend, it was agreed that the case should proceed
in her absence.)
A long, and by no means orderly discussion, here took
place between the complainant and defendant, and their re-
spective solicitors, in the course of which it appeared that
there were three boxes on the premises which were admitted
to be the prisoner's property, and it was agreed that they
should be sent by ti..e complainant to his (prisoner's) address.
Mr. HENRY said that this was a case of trespass on a claim
of right. The prisoner had clearly no right to force an entry,
whether he was or was not the true owner of the house.
He should have taken legal means to eject the complainant
and gain possession ; but as it was a case of trespass, he could
not adjudicate. A civil action might, perhaps, be brought.
The prisoner was discharged.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
•
There was a quiet market for Cotton at Liverpool on Sa-
turday, but without any alteration in prices. Shares were
firm generally.
It is understood that the emigration from this country in
• the course of the present year, although not perhaps so
great as on several previous seasons, will still be very large,
and principally to the British North American colonies and
the United States. As respects the South Australian colo-
nies, there are but few data to arrive at any definitive con-
clusion as to the number of settlers who have proceeded in
• that direction. As connected with this important subject,
it is worth notice that the " bounty system," still pur-
sued by Government, though objected to by most practical
men, is continued. This system, in principle, is said
to be objectionable, and practically works injury to the ship.
ping interests of the country. It is considered most
consistent and advantageous that engagements for the
conveyance of emigrants for the Government should
be made by the shipowner directly with the department in
whom the superintendence of emigration is vested. The late
Colonial Secretary was opposed to any alteration, upon the
general ground "shat her Majesty's Government must be
guided by the circumstances and the wants of the different
colonies to which emigration may be proceeding." However,
the shipping interest, it is understood, intend to press the sub-
ject upon the present Colonial Secretary, through their Com-
mittee. It is a matter of very considerable importance, not
only to the shipowner, but to emigrants, as well as the
colonial interests.
Much interest is taken in the City relative to the promised
expose of Lord John Russell, in Parliament this evening, of
the measures his Lordship intends to propose to alleviate
distress in Ireland. Some bold and comprehensive steps, it
is admitted on all hands, must be adopted to procure other
food than potatoes for the destitute poor of that country, as it is
now in vain to calculate upon any liberal supplies of the
esculent either from England, the Continent, or the British
colonies, in all of which, or very nearly so, the disease is ex-
tending far and wide. The calamity lass rather tended to
depress the mercantile classes here.
The following extract from a communication from New
York is of interest at the present moment, as exhibiting the
feeling of the merchants there of the probable working of
the new tariff:—
" The passage of the ad valorem Tariff Bill has created con-
siderable activity at the Custom-house, and everyone appears
to be in a great hurry to get their goods through and into
the market. The cash entries have been unusually large.
We have no doubt but that the month of August will be a
very busy month at the Custom-house, in the way of entries
for importation ; and after that the principal business will be
entries for exportation, as an immense quantity of foreign
merchandise will be exported during the months of October
and November, for the benefit of drawback and re-impor-
tation under the reduced rate of duty.
" The importation of foreign merchandise, after the Ist of
October, until the new tariff goes into operation, will be ex-
tremely limited, and only to the extent of the actual and im-
mediate demand for consumption. and only in instances where
there will be, after the Ist December, an increased duty. The
revenue from Customs from this to December Ist, will be very
small, while the expenditures are going on at the rate of
several hundred thousand dollars per day. The ten millions
surplus and the ten millions Treasury notes will be expended
long before that time. The expenditure of that amount has
already been incurred, but as yet the payments have not
been made; when the drafts come fur the money, the depo-
sits to the credit of the Government in our banks will be
swept away very rapidly."
The meeting at the London Tavern to raise subscriptions
for the market gardeners and florists who suffered by the
late storm is respectably attended. His Royal Highness
the Duke of Cambridge took the chair. A good subscription
is anticipated.
Consols for the Account have been flat this morning at
953/. For to-morrow Money Stock has fallen to 95%, but a
rally has since taken place to 9534. Exchequer-bills have
fluctuated from Bs. to 12s. premium. The Reduced Three
per Cents. have receded to 96, and the New Three-and-a-
Quarter to 953%.
There has been a further fluctuation in the Portuguse Four
per Cents, this waning. On Saturday afternoon the current
value was 42%; the opening price this morning was 43,
but the Bonds have just droppz.d to 41% 34. It is difficult to
account for these. changes. Spanish Consols are flat at 25%,
and the Three per Cents at 36% The Dutch Two-and-
a-Half per Cents are at 59% %; Mexican at 23%, and New
Brazilian Bonds at 87.
The Railway Share market is pretty steady this morning,
prices are much the same as on Saturday.
