DELICATE AFFAIR.—A circumstance of a very
distressing nature has occurred in this city, and will ere long
meet the public eye, A few days ago the daughter of a
highly respectable citizen, who is connected with a public
establishment in this city, was married to a gentleman, a
native of Gal way, and after the ceremony proceeded with
him to France; but the previous marriage of the gentleman
with a lady, by whom he has children, transpired after their
departure, and the unhappy parents of the deluded girl have
been obliged to resort to the laws to punish the offender and
vindicate their respectability. For this purpose a warrant
has been issued for his apprehension, and police-constables
followed him to France. The informations were sworn in
the College-street, Police-office, but their precise contente,
and all the circumstances attendant upon this most heart-
rending case, must for the present remain unrevealed.—
Sounder's News Letter.

FALL FROM A HAY RlCK.—Yesterday morning,
between 11 and 12 o'clock, a serious accident occurred to the
son of Matthew Priorson, Esq., a gentleman residing at
Thames Ditton. The youth was playing with some com-
panions in a paddock, when, to hide himself from his play-
mates, he ascended a ladder to the top of a hay-rick, where
he remained concealed for a short time, till he was at length
discovered, and, in attempting to get down, his foot slipped,
and he fell to the ground with fearful violence. Medical
assistance was immediately procured, when it was ascer-
tained that the young gentleman had sustained a fracture of
the left leg, besides dislocating his shoulder-bone.
THE GUN TRADE, BIRMINGHAM.—Not long sinee
an order for 40,000 stand of arms was received in this town
from Government, in consequence of which, and other orders
of a similar character, the gun trade here is in a state of high
prosperity. Most of the guns ordered, it is said, are to be put
in store at the barracks at Weedon.
The Duke of Buceleuch has arrived in town, and visited
th• Earl of Dalhousie yesterday.

IREL AND.

DUBLIN,i)nc. 30.—A special commission was yesterday
issued for the trial of all the prisoners in Mullingar gaol.
Chief Justice Doherty and the Chief Baron are to be
the judges. As the trials commence on the 19th of
January, it is likely that the approaching meeting of
Parliament will prevent the Attorney-General from at-
tending. In his absence: the Solicitor-General, Mr.
Sergeant Ware en, and Mr. Brewster will probably be
the conducting counsel for the Crown.
A Clonmel paper gives the particulars of a Whiteboy
attack upon the farm-house of Mr. Richard Hartland, at
Thornhill-lawn, within two miles of Mitchelstown,
district heretofore free from disturbance. An armed
party, quite undisguised, entered the house, in which
were a steward named Mahony and a labourer named
Russell. These persons they treated in the most brutal
manner, and, having possessed themselves of a gun be•
longing to Mr. Hartland, went off, leaving various man-
dates and orders, under the severest denunciations, with
the steward.

Mr. Thomas Alley, of Arlane Housa, in the county of
Dublin, offers 100/. reward to discover the author of a
llockite threatening letter, sent to him through the
general post. The letter was in these terms : _ _

.4
Mr. Thomas Alley,—Your naineis'Wdown in the
Tipperary victimised list—our troops have strict orders
to give you this notice, that unless you give up the land
you dispossessed the poor man of, and you have driven
to the wide world. We now give you to the Ist of
March to restore him. We give you more time than he
got. If our notice is not obeyed, get your last coat
bespoke in Cook-street. You will meet our inspector
after the Ist of March ; it will be the same fall your law-
agent got, but a bullet will be worse.
" Lieutenant MOONLIGHT."
[At the bottom was the drawing of a coffin, bearing
the inscription of " Thomas Alley."]
Mr. Alley has published a statement, which fully ex-
culpates him from the imputation of any act that could
have afforded any just warrant for such an attack upon
him.

THE GALES IN THE CHANNEL.
(From the Jersey Times.)
Our coast within the Isst few days has been again the
scene of a number of peculiarly violent gales. The earlier
part of last week, which had been distinguished for a re-
markably hard and biting frost, was succeeded in the
latter part by wind and rain of a fiercely tempestuous
character. On Friday the wind blew with so much force
and violence on shore, that chimney pots in various
quarters were thrown from their positions, branches of
trees were wrested from their parent stems, and window
panes dashed to atoms. But the commetions on land
were trifling to those to be seen on the bosom of the sea.
Far as the eyecould reach the billows seemed to lift them-
selves mountains high. No vessel could leave the port
of St. Helier's without risk of experiencing the untoward
effects of their daring venture, nor could any craft safely
direct its helm in quest of shelter to our harbour—the
hundreds of hidden rocks which gird our shore th reatening
destruction to both goers out and corners in. The mails
also between Jersey and England have especially expe-
riencedeffects of the storm. So fiercely raged the sea on
Tuesday last that the mail, which should have left the
island at the hour of eight o'clock the same morning,
was prevented from setting sail till twelve , o'clock at
night, a partial calm having in the meantime supervened.
The mail, also, which should have arrived in Jersey on
Sunday morning early, did not make its appearance
till yesterday (Monday) morning about seven o'clock.
Nor is it with respect to the delay of the mails that in-
convenience has been alone felt. During the last eight
(lays the communication between Jersey and the coast of
France has been completely at a stand, no vessel, in spite
of the promise of reward, being able to summon sufficient
courage to set oat upon the enterprise. A considerable
number of English gentlemen reached Jersey by
the Wonder, on Sunday morning week, en route for
France, for the purpose of spending a " merrie Christ-
mas " amongst their friends in Brittany. The vessel,
however, which should have carried them onwards
on Monday had been itself storm-bound in France for
two days previously, and had been unable to reach Jersey
to convey passengers to their destination. NI onday, Tues-
day, and Wednesday passed away, and the Lord Coiling-
wood was still confined in the harbour of St. Malo.
Christmas morning dawned, and our wayfarers found
that it was " all up" with their " merrie Christmas."
Some would have immediately returned again toEngland,
but, unfortunately, their final resolution had not been
made till two hours after the last vessel, for the week,
had taken its departure. A full half of these " unfor-
tunates" set sail for their native land again, on Sunday
morning, while the other moiety, either plucking up a
magnanimous resolution, or having a few further days
at command, waited patiently till yesterday, when a
French cutter departed with them from Jersey for the
desired shore. A peculiar unfortunane instance of dis-
appointed hope is evinced in the case of one of the
voyagers who returned to England. It was the case of
a military officer who had not seen his wife for the long
space of twelve years, having been absent from home on
foreign service during that protracted period. She re-
sided in Brittany, and at the present time he bad only
eight days to spend with her. Melancholy to relate,
these eight days were spent at a distance from his spouse
of only for hours' sail, but inexorable duty repeated the
well. known maxim, that " time and tide wait for no
man." He was obliged to bid, in heart, his spouse fare-
well, and will not be able to behold her for six months
to come.

THE COLONIES, THE COLONIAL-
OFFICE, AND COLONISATION.
In 1841, before the assembling of the present Par-
liament, after the general election of that year, a ru-
mour ran through the country that a national or ex-
tended system of emigration and colonisation was
one, if not the principal, forthcoming measure of Sir
Robert Peel's Government. No measure could have
found more favour in the public mind, for not only
the tnetropolitan but the provincial press warmly sup-
ported the proposition—numerous pamphlets were
published on the subject—and various public meet-
ings in England, Scotland, and Ireland were held, at
which resolutions in favour of it were passed. The
hopes of all the friends of colonisation were greatly
raised—it was universally thought that the new
Colonial Secretary, Lord Stanley, was about to dis-
tinguish himself in this department of public admi-
nistration, and to outshine all his predecessors in the
comprehensiveness of his plans, and the vigour with
which he would carry them out ; but on the very
first or second day of the meeting of Parliament, all
these expectations were dispelled, for Sir Robert Peel
declared that Government contemplated no such
measure. Whether the Conservative Ministry conld
not embrace the mighty advantages of a well-
arranged system of locating our colonial waste lands
with the unemployed able-bodied labouring popula-
tion of this country who were willing to emigrate in
all the various bearings of such a system, as respects
not only the emigrants themselves but the colonies
and the extension of trade and shipping in the mother
country ?—whether the outbreak in the manufac-
turing districts in 1842 might not have been pre-
vented, and the agitators diverted from their object,
had such a scheme been brought forward by Govern-
ment ?—whether all the recent bankruptcy and
ruinous depreciation of property in our Australian
colonies, and the terrible disasters in New Zealand,
might not all have been avoided, had Government
favoured, instead of discouraged colonisation ?—had
they aided instead of petulantly opposed those who
urged such a plan, it is bootless now to inquire. Four
precious years have been wasted, and nothing good
has been done for the colonies generally. On the
contrary, much evil has resulted. Instead of earning
immortal renown—as it was in his power to have
done—Lord Stanley slept on his post, and he has re-
tired in disgrace. The question now`is, is his suc-
oessor to be an equally inefficient Colonial Secretary ?
Is he also to slumber over his duties ? Is
the Colonial-office to remain as it is, or
is it to be reorganised, and adapted to
the great amount and variety of business which
comes before it ? Is Mr. Stephen to be continued as
Under-Secretary, and, though a sub., yet the perma-
nent, and in reality, the chief of the department—in
fact, the autocrat of the British Colonies ? Is that
wholly useless and expensive board, the Colonial, Land,
and Emigration Commission, to be kept up? Are from
30,000 to 50,000 of the best men of our country—
the very strength and marrow of the population—to
be allowed to emigrate annually to the United States,
and enrich a rival power, and no attraction offered
them to go to our own colonies instead ? What is
to be done for New Zealand ? Are its affairs to re-
main unsettled ? Are the bickerings betwixt the
Colonial-office and the New Zealand Company to be
continued? Are the great natural advantages of that
colony not to be turned to account, and no induce-
ments offered for the small class of farmers in this
country, who are fast sinking into the class of la-
bourers, to go and settle there on grants of 20, 40,
and 50 acres, suitable to their means of cultivation ?
In short, is the administration of Mr. Gladstone, as
Colonial Secretary, to be for good or evil ? These
questions all occur at this time to the minds of those
to whom the subject embraced in the title of this
article, namely, the Colonies, the Colonial-office,
and Colonisation, are familiar. We are aware that
the repeal or modification of the corn-laws, further
changes in the tariff, and railway legislation, are
likely to engross the greater part of the time and at-
tention of Ministers and Members of Parliament
next session; still we are not without sanguine hopes
that with Earl Grey in the House of Lords, and
Mr. Buller, in the Commons, and the new Colonial
Secretary to deal with, and who is reputed to be at
least a man of business, and who will lend a pztient
ear to their representations—and who, we hope, will
despise all party manceuvring or diplomatic chica•
nery, the friends of colonisation will rally their
scattered forces, make new demonstration, and will
he able to achieve some substantial and permanent
good in the ensuing session, which will serve as a
new starting-point in this great national work.

COFFEE.
The following items from Ceylon relative to planting;e
prospects are of some use in forming an estimate etfa
The

bustle and excitement of crop picking has, during

have gone onp in a
ing community, and work appears to
most satisfactory manner.
" The month of October, like its predecessors, was for
the most part dry and sunny, affording for
f
every
curing, and large quantities o well-dried coffee facilityhave
been dispatched from most of the finest properties in the
island ; heavy crops appear to be general everywhere,
and quality, we imagine, never was finer from the hills.
From the multitude of samples we have before us we
find it difficult to select a favourite, and it is not a little
pleasing to notice the almost uniform excellence of qua-
lity yielded by estates in every quarter at a certain eleva-
tion ; the past season—the most unusual and extraor-
dinary on record—which has proved so fatal to some of
the lower districts, appears to have suited to perfection
those more elevated regions, now admitted to be most
congenial to the habits of the coffee shrub. A little
more rain might perhaps have prevented the yellow
foliage now displayed by some trees under the heavy
crops they have matured, but we cannot discover any
material injury tc have resulted, and we may safely as-
sert that the Knuckles, Hunasgirie, Pusilava, Pasbage,
Ambegamoa, and the greater part of Hewahette, will this
year give general satisfaction. We have seen beautiful
coffee from each of these districts, a slight difference in
size and colour alone indicating any little superiority in
soil, or degree of care in curing. The worst we note as
good, the best super-excellent.
While, however, contemplating this bright side of the
picture, we do not forget those less fortunate localities
where the dry weather has caused such havoc and de-
struction, for certain it is, and each week proves the fact
still more strongly, that we did not exaggerate the extent
of injury sustained. An immense crop of Cherry coffee
on the trees has proved, in many instances, not worth

picking, and on other estates that collected and pulped
has given a serious proportion of light coffee, and yielded
a berry of small size and indifferent appearance. This
applies chiefly to those districts lying below 2,000 feet
elevation, where the drought was most severe, and
although the real amount of dead loss will, we hope, be
part'al, a sad falling off from expectation will be found in
many a balance-sheet.

"'We were glad to notice some very good native
coffee the other day, which seemed well gruwn and
cured carefully, but many of the small native gardens
are burnt up.

" The approaching sales of some fine properties in the
central province are exciting interest among speculators,
and will, no doubt, give rise to much competition. Go-
vernment sales are also well attended, and bidders not
scarce."

SUGAR DUTIES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. •
SlR,—The Gazette of Friday quotes the average price
of British sugars at 355. per cwt. Uncertificated Manilla
sugar, of a like quality with the British, can be
bought for 21s. per cwt. ; in other words, the British
sugars for which the consumers in this land of mo-
nopoly pay 355. per cwt., would not command more
than 21s. per cwt. in.the markets of the world. We

duties. The public pay in addition to the 14s. per
cwt. duty, which legitimately goes to fortify the
revenue of the country, 14s. per cwt. more, which
goes into the pockets of the West India proprietors.
It should be remembered that each shilling of
excess in the price of sugar is equivalent, to 250,0001.
per annum. Who benefits, let me ask, by this
enormous spoliation ? Not the consumers, for they
have to pay it ; not the brokers, for they charge a
commission upon what they sell, and they wouki
naturally rather take their commission upon two cwts.'
than one ; not the merchants, for they charge com-
mission for managing the consigned sugar, and would
rather have the commission on two hundreds than on
one ; not the shipping interest, for the shipowners
would rather employ two ships than one ; not the
planters, for they would be gainers if all monopoly
were knocked on the head, and they could go to the
cheapest market for their provisions, their hogsheads,
their puncheons, &c., and for their labour. These
are the various hands through which the sugar
passes, and it is palpable they derive no advantage
from the sugar monopoly. Who does, then ? But
one party remains, and that is the indolent proprietor,
who resides in this country, and revels in the luxuries
of the Court- end of London ; he it is, whether he be
Lord or Commoner, who needs our 14s. per cwt.
beyond the actual value of his sugar, to defray his
lavish expenditure, to pay the interest money on his
pawned estates, and to make marriage settlements for
his daughters. Will the British nation submit to
this swindling cajolery, whether Sir Robert Peel or
Lord John Russell be at the head of affairs ? No;
let the proprietors, who are of no earthly use here,
take themselves off to their respective estates, and
make up their accounts how they may, remembering
that there exists already a law for insolvent debtors.
I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
St. Omer, Dec. 31, 1845.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY.

Not a dozen subscribers assembled at the commence-
ment of the new year, and amongst them so slight was
the disposition to speculate, that we need not attempt a
list of the market prices. The only bets laid were 15 to 1,
to about 40L, agst Brocardo; 750 to 25 agst Spithead;
40 to 1, to 351., agst Fancy Boy, for the Derby; and
625 to 25 agst Osprey, and 750 to 25 agst Sister to

THE LATE DEATH BY VIOLENCE

AT KENSINGTON.

On Wednesday Mr. Wakley, M.P., Coroner, and the
jury impannelled on Saturday last, at the Coach and
Horses, High-street, Kensington, resumed the inquiry
into the circumstances attending the death of Edmund
Connell, which was on Saturday adjourned at the re -
quest of the jury, for the purpose of an application being
made to the magistrate of the Hammersmith Police
court, for the persons charged with inflicting the vio
lence on the deceased (James Hogan, Ann Hogan. his
wife, and William Barry), to be brought before the in-
quest, for the purpose of identification. The particulars
of the case have already appeared.
Inspector Havill, division, stated that in accordance
with the direction of the jury, he had on Monday last eK-
pre,sed their wish that the prisoners should be brought
before them previous to their examination before the
magistrates being gone into; and Mr. T. Paynter, the
sitting magistrate, had returned the following answer:—
" Give my respects to the jury, and say that I should
readily meet their wishes if it were in my power to do
so, as I should always be disposed to pay great attention
to a request coming from a jury ; but that, in fact, I
have no more power to send a person before a
coroner's jury, than to send him to any other part of
the kingdom. The only power of a magistrate in
this respect, is to order any prisoner brought before
him to be taken to the proper place of confine-
ment, of which the choice does not rest with the ma-
gistrate. In case of a remand, indeed, the magistrate,
instead of making the committal final, may couple with
it a direction to brillg up the prisoner again for further
examination; but when he has once finally committed a
prisoner, his power over him certainly ceases. I further
think that, unless the ends of justice imperatively re-
quire it, the prisoner is put to great and endless pain
and annoyance, by subjecting him to a second prelimi-
nary examination. It strikes me that there is a good deal
of misconception as to the proper province of a coroner's
jury, which is simply to inquire into the cause of death,
without reference to a charge against any individual,
over whom, in fact, neither they nor the coroner have
any power before their verdict be given; and then, in-
deed (the sanction of the jury being obtained), the coro-
ner has power to issue his warrant. The inquiry by a
coroner's jury was in its institution chiefly fiscal, the ob-
ject being to ascertain what rights had accrued to the
Crown. If the jury took these views into their consi-
deration, they would, perhaps, not press for the appear-
ance of the prisoners before them, more especially if they
reflect that the verdict of a jury, given upon evidence
taken in the presence of the prisoner, and with it liberty to
him to cross-examine, would carry with it a weight that,
happily, does not belong to the mere ministerial exami-
nation before a magistrate ; and such a verdict so given
would in fact render any further trial a mere form ; and
even should the prisoner ultimately be acquitted, such
a verdict so given would leave a stain and suspicion on
his character that nothing could remove."
After considerable discussion strangers were ordered
to withdraw, and after a lapse of nearly an hour, on the
public being re-admitted,
The foreman said the jury had determined on return-
ing the following verdict :—" We find that Edmund
Connell, from the mortal effects of fractures of the
ribs on the left side of his chest, then and there died ;
but by whose violence such fractures were occasioned
there is not sufficient evidence before the jurors to
show, because the persons suspected of having com-
mitted the said violence, have been wilfully withheld
from the inquest by officers acting under the authority
of the magistrates and the Commissioners of Police."

Court itself is a fine capacious building, about 30 feet

wen have been busily engaged at it for the last three or
four days, and with advantage, as there is a marked im.
provernent in the general arrangements since we last had
occasion to notice it, and an obvious desire now to render
the whole as convenient as possible ; but there are still
alterations required before it can fairly possess the claim

ing-room is a miserable
_hole,ce appellationoipetent o
to seat eight
persons, with an asphalte floor, and a door opening in its
centre into the open air. So " commodious" is this
place, that when fourteen persons were in it at one time
yesterday, the fresh corners were obliged to fight their
way through them every moment on their way to the
clerk's office or interior of the Court, this being at pre-
sent the only public entrance, although we are informed
that another will be opened in a few days. The clerk's
office is small and dark, the portion allotted
to the public being miserably small, so insigni-
ficant, indeed, that that which appears to be private
part, as also the retiring- room for the clerks to
make up the quarterly accounts, or do any other busi-
ness in, must be appropriated to the public if anything
like five or six persons are engaged in a case. There is
also a lamentable, not to say cruel want of accommoda-
tion to the officers who are unfortunately compelled to
be resident on the premises ; but we have no doubt that,
as far as their comfort now can be advanced, every effort.
will be made to effect it. In this respect, however, as
regards mere room, the case from the construction of the
building is hopeless. The cells, seven in number, are
admirably constructed, and reflect great credit upon both
the humanity and feeling of those who designed them ;
they are, indeed, most perfect. 'Workmen are likely to
be engaged about the premises for another month, and
they have received orders to construct seats round the
. large space devoted to the public in the Court, which will
be a very great advantage, and, with other contemplated
improvements, must much advance the comfort of those
1 attending the Court.

LAUNCH OF THE FURY STEAM-
FRIGATE AT SHEERNESS.
Tuesday being the day appointed for the launch of
this fine vessel, the town of Sheerness exhibited the usual
demonstrations of it general holiday; and the day being
fine overhead, • for nearly an hour before the time fixed
for the launch (ten o'clock) the dockyard was thronged -
with crowds of well-dressed people from all parts of the
island, who, however, were doomed to be disappointed at
this time. for the wind, which was previously blowing
pretty stiffly, had in the interim risen to a gale, and the
launch was consequently obliged to be deferred till the
occurrence of more favourable weather. The day fol-
lowing, Wednesday, proving a most favourable one, it
was determined that the launch should come off that
day, about two o'clock; and on the gates being thrown
open, the dockyard was soon crowded. At the head of
the vessel a stand covered with crimson cloth was erected -
for the accommodation of the Commander-in-Chief, the
captain, superintendent, and numerous other naval and
military officers' with their ladies. Shortly before two
o'clock, the Commander-in. Chief, Vice Admiral
Sir Edward King, K.C.11., arrived with his
I lady and daughter, and took their stations on
the platform. When all was ready for knock-
ing out the dog-shores, a bottle of wine having
been opened, Miss King, who officiated at the christen.
ing, drank success to the Fury, and immediately after-
wards broke the bottle of wine on the bow of the vessel,
ar.d the dog-shores being loosened, the gallant ship
glided majestically into the Medway, amid the enthu-
siastic cheers of the assembled spectators, and the strains
of the Trafalgar's band, which was in attendance during
the ceremony. The vessel was decorated with the royal •
standard at the main, the Admiralty flag at the fore,
and the union jack at the mizen; but permission was not
given, as Usual, for any visitors to be launched in the
ship. The arrangements of the authorities were admi-
rably made for the public accommodation, and all went
off in a most satisfactory manner. After the launch
she was taken in charge by the master attendant, and
hauled, into dock to be - coppered. She was found to
float almost on an even keel, her draught of water for-
ward and aft being nearly eight feet. The position on
the water and general appearance was much admired.
She is constructed on the design of the surveyor of th
navy, and is considered an improvement on his former
steam vessels by possessing a greater length and fulness
of section. She has been built rather hurriedly, her
keel having been laid down only in Ma last; her
timbers hadi howeverif-been'prtivieuiy,' • •
