..'as anything said to you in
when you got in ?
Witness—What took place was this—Mr. O'Brien
was sitting at the head of the table with a book in his
hand, in which the names of all the clubs in Dublin
were registered. He called out the name of the club,
and the representative of each came forward and
answered. He then asked the number of it, or its
numerical strength, and got the required information.
The " Red-hand Club " was not called out that even-
ing. Mr. O'Brien next asked each representative was
the club organized ? was it divided into sections and
sub-sections, with an officer to each ? and was answered
in the usual way. This occupied about three hours.
Witness was in the habit of gong to the Council-
room;,:..vi he
occasionally, and on the evening in quest,'
saw several of the leaders. The room was exceed-
ingly full, and he could not, therefore, see them
all. It was then about eight o'clock. Mr.
Meagher was not there. The meeting took
place on a Saturday, and was only held to make
arrangements for a meeting to be held next day in
Mr. Ennis's yard, at Kilmainham. A difference
of opinion prevailed, as to the number of the clubs,
among the leaders. Some said they were composed
of five, some six, and others 7,000 men, and the meet-
ing was called for next day, to satisfy Mr. O'Brien,
and that he might see if they were in good condition.
He also asked if the walls were high, that none but
clubbists might be admitted. In the course of the
evening he talked of accomplishing the independence
of his country by force, and gave directions that they
should go to the place of meeting in sub-sections of
five, in order to avoid coming in contact with the au-
thorities. The meeting, however, was not held, as the
authorities heard of it, and the ground was occupied
by the police. In. the course of conversation on the
same evening, Mr. O'Brien spoke encouragingly of
his visit among the country clubs, and particularly
marked out the Cork club, as being for its organisa-
tion and discipline equal to any of her Majesty's
service. They also spoke of arms in a sufficiently
loud tone, that Mr. O'Brien could hear it,
and, indeed, he took a part in the discussion. A per-
son named Troughton also gave an account of his
tour through England, and stated that in two towns
alone, there were 500 armed men ready to come over
when the insurrection commenced, and that they had
two swivels there ready to come over. It was not a
conversation, but an address, delivered in so loud a
voice that every person in the room could hear it.
The great difficulty, however, which he said lay in
getting over the swivels, and Mr. O'Brien replied to
his statement, by saying that he had been in Bantry,
where the people gave him a hearty cheer, particu-
larly a boat's crew in the bay, and that the clubs of
Dublin should also get boats, which would answer
for that and other purposes. Kl.r. O'Brien spoke for
a considerable time of the organisation necessary to
effect the objects they had in view, and said he had
not inspected Ireland in order to have proof positive
that organisation existed. When Troughton asked
the date of the insurrection, Mr. O'Brien replied
that he would rather ascend the gallows than to
cause the loss of life of one on his account by
a premature movement. The rescue of per-
sons in gaol was also spoken of, and in
case they were convicted, it was unanimously re-
solved that they should be rescued. He knew Joseph
Brennan, and remembered a midday meeting held in
the same place on the 19th of July of the representa-
tives of clubs, and the council of the confederation.
He (witness) attended as representative of the Red-
hand Club, but the room was so full that he could not
see who occupied the chair. The meeting was called
to defeat the proclamation of the Lord-Lieutenant
respecting.arms, and Brennan proposed a resolution
that the insurrection should commence at once, as the
people would not be in a better position in harvest,
that they would be dispirited, and that the Govern-
ment would take up all the arms they could. To
that resolution Mr. Dillon -enoved-as an amendment
that the people should conceal their arms, and give
passive resistance to the proclamation, and Mr.
O'Brien said that to breakout then would be premature.
He knew T. D. M'Ghee, who made a speech advising
them to cast lots as to the person who should tell the
people at the Music Hall that night to resist the pro-
clamation. Mr. Richard O'Gorman was also present,
and told Mr. Dillon that his resolution about passive
resistance was too indefinite, and it was said that
Mr. Doheny was organizing in the country. A di-
vision took place on Dillon's amendment, which was
put twice to the vote, when there was a very small
majority for it, and the minority were quite dissatis-
fied. Mr. Brennan also said that they had the
elements of strength within themselves—that if they
waited for aid from France or America, they might
do so until rifles were forged in heaven and angels
drew the triggers.—(Laughter.) The witness often
saw the members of the Curran Club and others
armed with muskets and pikes. He knew a man named
Lawrence Hanlon, who was a member of the Red
fiend Club, and saw him often cleaning arms, both
muskets and pikes ; preparing them and cleaning
them. He was what they called a " handy man."
He used to provide the materials, by buying a lock
in one place and a stock in another, and furnished
them to the members of the club for 14s. 6d. Ile
attended a meeting on Friday, the 21st of July, when
Mr. Dillon was in the chair. It was called in conse-
quence of a resolution come to on the 19:h, that an
executive council should be formed to govern the
clubs, or some important business.

Mr. WurrEsinE here contended that, as Mr.
O'Brien was not present at the meeting held on the
21st, he ought not to be bound by it, and that it was,
therefore, inadmissible ; but the Court ruled that, as
he was a member of the same body, and present on
the 19th, he was clearly bound by what took place.
On the 21st, Meagher, M‘Ghee, Lalor, i%l'Dermot,
Halpin, and others of the leaders, were present, but
O'Gorman was not. When O'Gorman was called to
the chair, Mr. Leyne and several gentlemen were pre-
sent, not members, and the business would not be
proceeded with, or the election for the executive
council commenced, until they left the room. Mr.
Dillon called out the representative, who, as' they
answered, went into an inner room, where they re-
mained until the strangers went away. After ths
sitting was resumed, Mr. Lalor produced a letter
written by Mr. Duffy, from gaol, and then they
elected the "executive council." Some proposed
seven, some three, and some five, by a regular motion
made in every case ; but a council of five were at last
agreed to.
To Mr. WHITESIDE—The resolutions were not
taken down in a book.

Examination continued—The election was by
ballot, and " they all" agreed to elect Mr. O'Brien ;
but it was said that it was much better to have him
organizing the country than confined to a council.
The witness himself voted in the usual way, and the
persons elected were Dillon, Meagher, O'Gorman,
and M`Ghee ; and there being an equality of votes
for Devin Reilly and Lalor, another election took
place, and Reilly was elected.
Mr. WHITESIDE having asked if the papers used on
that occasion were to be given in evidence, the At-
torney-General produced the identical balloting pa-
pers used on the occasion.
The witness continued—Mr. Lalor wanted them,
on that occasion, to give a pledge that the insurrec-
tion should take place on the Bth of August, but
Mr. Meagher declined doing so, stating that he would
do all that in him lay to excite the people, and Dillon
exclaimed, "So help him God, that he would do the
same." M‘Ghee said also that he would, by writing
and speaking, excite the country to on insurrection as
soon as possible. The balloting papers were here
produced and identified by the witness, as well as the
handwriting of M‘Dermot, Lalor, O'Higgins, and
several others. The papers were kept by Halpin, and
he neither saw nor did he know what became of them
from that night until he saw them in the hands of
the Crown Solicitor, a few days ago.

Cross-examined by Mr. WHITESIDE—He took no
interest in the political matters of this country, and
was a member of the "Red Hand Club" from the
18th of June until its dissolution. The rules of the
club, handed him, as inserted in the Nation news-
paper, were, he believed, the correct ones. They in-
cluded all Repealers, whether members of the Confe-
deration or not. He was positive such a club as the
"Red Hand Club" existed, but he knew not if another
man in court would depose to the same fact. The as-
sertion that resolutions inserted next morning in the
newspapers, passed at the meeting of the 19th, was a
falsehood, or they rnust have passed before he went to
the meeting. His Dlme, or that of his club, did not
appear in the list of tho clubs called over on the 15th
of July, but both appeared on the 21st. lie had a
book in which he kept .16 tes, or original reports, of
all that occurred, but th•ai.` was at home, and the
memorandum he had in his. ,hand was an account -of
the dates merely when all these proceedings occurred.
Did you ever see or speak' to Mr. O'Brien ?—I
have seen him and heard him speak.
Mr. O'Brien, in a loud determined voice—Speak
up, Air.

Did you ever speak to him ?—Never.
The witness, who was exceedingly nervous, pro-
ceeded to answer the questions put to him by the
Learned and able Counsel, to the most important of
which we are obliged necessarily to confine ourselves.
The prisoner did not say that were he Mr. Duffy, he
would rather lose his life on the gallows than have
any one else lose his life for him.

At this period of the proceedings, Mr. Whiteside,
seeing the Learned Judge not taking a note of the
proceedings, directed Sir Colman O'Loghlen to do so,
upon which Mr. O'Brien said, " My Lord, I am not
certainly familiar with proceedings in courts of jus-
tice, but as it occurs to me that you have taken down
everything that was unfavourable, you ought to take
a note of what is favourable to my case."
Chief Justice BLACKBURNE—And how do you
know that we have not ? Mr. O'Brien—l have not
seen you do so.
Chief Justice BLACKBURNE—We are taking all
that's necessary, and you are better not to in-
terfere.

of the person who told him the meeting was going on,
because if he did so they would be assassinated by the
clubs in Dublin. He put himself under the protec-
tion of the Court, for he had seen and heard the clubs
of Dublin planning assassinations.
Mr. WurrEslDE—You are sworn to tell the truth,
and you must tell me who sent you to the meeting,
or who told you of it. Witness—l decline to answer
that question.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL submitted that on
grounds of public policy, and as he had sworn that
assassination might take place, the Court would ex-
ercise a sound discretion in not insisting en his giving
an answer.
Mr. WHITESIDE contended that as he was not an
officio; 1--zgon, or Secretary of State, he was not pri-
vileged. Neither his ciielit,,
his attorney, or anybody
else knew anything of the man, and, for his own pe“,
he believed the statement he made about assassination
was a gross and unfounded slander.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL observed that he really
knew not himself the party the witness alluded to as
being in danger of assassination if his name were
disclosed, but he thought he ought not to be com-
pelled to answer a question which would endanger
the life of another.
Mr. WIIITESIDE—Bat you forget, Mr. Attorney,
that Mr. O'Brien's life is in danger.
The AT TORNEY- GENERAL—Indeed I do not.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then quoted a passage
from Starkie on Evidence, to show the communica-
tions made to Government were privileged, particu-
larly in cases where the peace of the country was
concerned.
A long consultation then ensued between the
Learned Judges, after which,
Chief Justice BLACYBURNE said that they did not feel
themselves called on to compel the witness to make a
disclosure of the name.
The cross-examination was then resumed.—The
person who told him of the meetings was met
by him in Sackville- street. He was a gentle-
man of rank and respectability, and of heredi-
tary loyalty. At the election of the Executive
Council Father Kenyon was not the second man
elected, nor was ho elected at all. Mr. Duffy
wrote through Lalor from prison, requesting that
Fathers O'Maley, and Kenyon, and Hughes should be
elected ; but all present refused unanimously not to
elect them because they were priests,
You swear that P—l do.
Whose name is that ?—(handing the witness a
ballot :paper.) Witness—Father Kenyon's ; but it
was said among them without going into a division,
that no clergyman was to be placed on the Council of
War. Father Kenyon may or may not be in his
parish, whose name was proposed at the
war-council, while Mr. O'Brien, who re-
fused to have anything to do with it, was
in the dock. The Secrettary of the "Red Hind"
Club was a person named O'Callaghan, who escaped
to America, but it would not be prudent to tell the
names of others. He received no payment whatever
for his evidence, nor did ho expect to be obliged to
leave the country ; he did not see Halpin since he was
arrested, nor did he know whether he was in Clonaiel
to give evidence for the Crown.
Thomas Griffin, a police-constable, examined—
He deposed to his having arrested Mr. J. F. Lalor
at the 'notice of a Mr. Kennedy, where he found a roll
of papers in a black bag, of Mr. Lalor's. The witness
then identified the ballotinf, papers.
Mark Fender proved that he was on duty at the

Felon newspaper office, on the morning of the 22d of
July, when he saw Mr, O'Brien on a car, apparently
leaving Dublin.
A guard of the Wexford coach next deposed to his
having taken up Mr. Meagher aad another gentle-
man, at Laughlinstown, on the morning of the 231.
Another witness proved that he gaw Mr. Smith
O'Brien at Enniscorthy, and heard him say to about

500 people, that he way glad there was a club formed
in the town, but regretted ita numbers were so few
in such a place. A club, he added, should b©
formed in every place, and that parish clubs should

also be got up: With regard to the police, he was
glad, he said, to see so many of them present, and
that they ought to be treated as friends until they
proved themselves enemies. He said he was treated
with great kindness in many parts of Ireland by the
soldiers; then alluded to the suspension of the Habeas
Corpus Act, and called on the people to be prepared
for any emergency. He then introduced Mr.
Meagher, who said he always was, and ever would

remain, the unrelenting enemy of the British Govern-
ment; that he had the honour a short time before to
address 50,000 Tipperary men, who said or swore, he
could not say which, to join him. He then alluded
to the difference he had with the late Mr. O'Connell ;
but added, that the best way to make amends, was
to bring the flag of liberty, and place it on his tomb.
Mr. Dillon was next brought forward, who declined

making a speech, but said he knew the Wexford men
were all brave and determined, and that they kept a
gun in the corner, and their powder dry. They then
left the town in a car in the direction of Kilkenny.
John Dowling, another policeman, was next ex-
amined, and deposed to his having seen Mr. O'Brien
with Ir. Meagher and Mr. Dillon at a place called
Graignamanna, in the county of Kilkenny. They
addressed a crowd of persons at the residence of a
person they called General Cloney, when Mr. Meagher
said be was a young man just entering political life,
And turning round to the General, who was an old

insurgent of 'PB—
submittedthat, the last words of the
witness, in describing a man as an old insurgent in
1798, incapacitated him from being a witness, for he
had proved himself a partizan.
The witness then proceeded to state what Mr.
Meagher and Mr. Dillon said at the meeting, the
last of whom asked the people if a warrant were is-
sued for Mr. O'Brien, and that a number of police-
men came to take him, would they let him go P and
the answer was No.

Sub-Inspector Blake deposed that he saw Mr.
O'Brien in Kilkenny on Monday, the 23d of July, in
company with Dr. Kane, and saw him accompanied
by two others who appeared to be gentlemen, leaving
them in the direction of Callan.

Edward Stevens examined, and proved that he saw
Mr. O'Brien going up in one of the round towers in
the church in Kilkenny to take a view of the country,
and another policeman, named Robert Mahony, de-
posed to the prisoner having made a speech at Callan,
similar to that made by him in Enniscorthy, with re-
spect to the military and police.
Patrick Coghlan deposed that he was stationed in
Carrick-on-Suir in July last, when he heard Mr.
O'Brien address the people. He said the best way
he could judge or test the feelings of their hearts was
by calling them at once to the field ; that he was
about to be made a victim of English misrule and
domination ; there was a time gone by, when, if any
of my blood or ancestors were to be seized, there were
strong arms and stout hearts to defend and protect
them. He then asked them, would they allow it ?
and they replied, No, never. He then said that all
of them had strong nerves and stout hearts, and he
stood there to tell them that he wanted neither place
or emolument—that he sacrificed near and dear family
ties, and was with them determined to sacrifice
his life. But that was not the time for,speechifying.
Mr. Meagher next came forward, and made
another speech in which he said that when last he
appeared amongst them he came on business con-
nected with the country, but now he was on Govern-
ment business. It had advanced a step lately, in the
conviction of Mr. Mitchel, and that there were five
others equally as guilty as Mr. Mitchel. He then
said that the Judges were either corrupt er bloody,
he did not know which, and that every step the
Government took he would be prepared to meet it.
They could only punish him with death ; but he was
ready to meet it in defence of his unhappy country.
He observed that Ireland only sunk for a moment in
order to rise again into a glorious republic, and hur-
rahed for a republic. The time was come when they
should strike the blow. John O'Mahony was there,
but he did not mind the others.

He was cross-examined by Mr. Whiteside, when it
turned out that the extracts from which he read pas-
sages of the speeches was a copy of the notes he took,
and not the original notes themselves, and that not a
word about the republic, or bloody judges, was found
in the original informations sworn by the witness.
John Hamilton corroborated the evidence of the
last witness as to the speeches at Carrick.
After which the Court adjourned, at seven o'clock,
to Monday morning.

DOVER, MONDAY, OCT. 2.—Her Majesty the
Queen of the Belgians arrived at Dover by the Belgian
steamboat, at half-past 11 o'clock this morning, en route
from Ostend to London and Claremont. A special train
was in waiting, which conveyed her Majesty from Dover
CO the station at Bricklayers' Arms, whence her Majesty
proceeded in ono of M. Van de Weyer's carriages to
Claremont. Her Majesty was accompanied by the Baron
Moerkercke, and the Countess Van Stratten. Mr. James
M'Gregor, the Chairman of the bouth- Eastern Railway,
.
received her Majesty at Dover, and was in attendance
n,ring the journey. •
Voomsit AFFAIR.—On .
Monday forenoon, between
ten and eleven o'clock; • a man observed to leap into
the Tay, at the Dundee Railway-t,:idge, and proceed,
,swimming, down the current with all bib clothes and a
heavy great-coat on, e.s if the water constituted a
part of
his natural element. People, however, began to get
alsrmcd for bis safety, and two boats were manned to
rescue him. On coining up with him the crews imel<2,.
diately collared him, against which p;oceeding he most
lustily protested, kicking and plunging at the same time
with desperate determination, stating that ho 'vas swim-
ming to the Friarton-hole for a heavy wager. Os n;
monstranees and exertions to keep the water were of
no avail ; and he was pulled into one of the boats, and
put upon terra firma. It is believed that the amphibious
biped had no wager whatever, but being a good swimmer,
had, under the common potent influence, thought he
would be none the worse of a little relaxation in the
other element, and we are happy to say that he was no
worse.—Perthshire Courier.

OF THE DEAF AND DUMB.
[The following remarkable PAssa
from the Leeds Mercury of Saturdaylast, September
the 30th, and we have great pleasure in recording the
continued and brilliant success of the philanthropic
efforts of Dr. Turnbull.—En. Sun..]
We have this week had two opportunities of wit-
nessing the remarkable success of Dr. Turnbull's
treatment of the ;Ica and dumb, and we feel it a duty
to express our sense of the value of the discovery
which that gentleman has made for the removal of
one of the carious afflictions to which flesh is
heir. We have already stated that Dr. Turnbull,
the aurist and oculist, of London, has made
a discovery by which, for the first time since the age
of miracles, hearing is communicated to those born
deaf and dumb. He has been for some time at Man-
chester; and is now in Leeds, with the view of
establishing his method of cure by an amount of
evidence that shall place it beyond the possibility of
doubt. He does not profess to care cases of malfor-
mation, or of absolute disorganisation of the ear; he
states bat his method succeeds with about forty per
cent. of the cases submitted to him ; and he is able to
pronounce within a quarter of an hour whether the
case is curable or not. It is a great recommendation
of his mode of treatment that it is the simplest
possible, and altogether unattended with pain.
The first case which we saw operated upon was
that of a boy 1$ years of age, from Bradford, who had
been deaf and dumb since he was three years and a
half old (according to the medical certificate), from an
affection of the brain, induced by cholera. In this
case the process entirely failed, and Dr. Turnbull
pronounced it to be hopeless.
The next case was that of John Clayton, of Kirk-
stall, aged 16, who had been six years in the York-
shire Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, at Don-
caster, and whom we had ourselves recommended
to Dr. Turnbull. The boy had been examined by
Dr. Macturk, of Bradford, and Mr. Ramsbotham, of
Huddersfield, who attested that he was deaf and dumb.
His mother states that he lost his hearing from scarlet
fever when six months old. The boy had gained the
sense of hearing under Dr. Turnbull, so as to have
heard the singing at church on Sunday. He was
tried by Dr. Turnbull's secretary, who stood behind
him, and repeated a variety of sounds, monosyllables,
and dissyllables, all of which the boy imitated, though
imperfectly, as deaf mutes, when restored to hearing,
require to be taught to speak in the same manner as
infants. The case was satisfactory, and the boy ap-
peared much delighted with his new acquisition.
John Ward, of Leeds, cabinet-maker, aged 24, had
been five years in the Deaf and Dumb Institution,
and four weeks under Dr. Turnbull's care. He was
attested by Mr. E. Morgan, the surgeon, to be inca-
pable of receiving information through he ear. In
this case the hearing was more perfect than in the
preceding one ; the patient heard every sound made
behind him, repeated it instantly, and made some
progress in speaking : his countenance expressed
great pleasure.

SENT

Thomas Lee, of Knottingley, aged 16, born deaf
and dumb, had been six years in the Deaf and Dumb
Institution, and only twelve days under Dr. Turnbull's
care. This boy heard more quickly than ordinary
persons; he not only imitated every sound, but heard
a watch tick at the distance of seven or eight feet.
A little girl, three years old, born deaf and dumb,
was accompanied by her mother, who expressed the
liveliest pleasure at the progress which the child had
made in hearing. The child imitated all the sounds
made by its mother in an ordinary tone, but did not so
readily catch the tones of a strange voice; it showed
decisively its power of hearing by blowing repeatedly
through the Doctor's tuning pipes, and appearing
amused with the sound.

A married woman, aged forty, 'whose name and
residence we did not lioarn, but who wa§ the sistsr of
William Darnley, of Sandal Magna, near Wakefield,
in which family two brothers and a sister, all born
deaf and dumb, have received the power of hearing
under Dr. Turnbull. This woman w4s tried in the
ordinary modes, evidently heard with Ccilerable quick-
ness, and was learning to speak.
The following cases we saw operat44o.-for the
first time -

- aged twenty-tvro, born deaf and dumb,
had been in the Deaf and Dumb Institution from her
eleventh year till within six months of the present
time, for some years as a pupil, and for the remaining
period as a laundry•maid. She recognised, and was
recognised by, the other patients who had been in the
Institution. The simple process having been per-
formed, after waiting a quarter of an hour she was
tried, and her hearing was found to be wonderfully
restored. She imitated with considerable accuracy
all the sounds made behind her ; whilotcher married
sister, who had accompanied her, sat iaughing with
joy and wonder at the miracle which had been ,
per-
formed.

A man, aged 28, born deaf and dumb, accompa-
nied by his mother, had the sense of hearing conferred
in the same way as the previous case, and exhibited
the same evidence of hearing. He heard the ticking
of a watch at the distance of about three inches. This
was the first time of performing the operation.
Such is a brief statement of the cases we ourselves
witnessed. They leave no doubt whatever on our
minds as to the reality of the cures, or as to the
great importance of the discovery. We trust the
cures will receive the candid yet full in►estigation of
the medical men in this town, and will receive the
same frank acknowledgment here as they have dine
in Manchester, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, and other
places.

THE HARVEST AND THE CROPS.
G-LAscoses—Before daylight on Wednesday last
the delightful weather which we have so long
enjoyed was interrupted by rain, which fell heavily
till noon on that day. The watery clouds then
passed away, and we have since had weather dry
and beautiful as before, and a fine mild tem-
perature. At night, however, the air is sharp
and frosty. Harvest work goes on briskly, and
scarcely an evening now passes in which harvest
home is not celebrated by many agriculturists on the
lowlands of this and neighbouring coupties.—alas-
.—With the exception.' of Wednes-
day,rote Herald.
STIRLINGSIHRE
we have had another week of excellent har-
vest weather. The consequence is that the greater
proportion of the white crop in the carses has
been secured in first-rate condition. The farmers
are now busy cutting and stooking their beans, and
in a short time as favourable a harvest as we have
had for many years will be concluded. Of the potato
crop little can be said in addition to what is already
so well known. The disease seems not to be spreading
rapidly, although it generally exists.—Rtirling Ob.
eerier.
Trn BORDERS.—Harvest operations, have been
prosecuted during the past week without interrup-
tion, and, with a few exceptions, the fields have been
stripped of their produce, which has been carted to
the barnyards in the best possible condition. The
quality of the grain has not been surpassed in any
previous year, and it being generally admitted that
the crop will be much more. productive than was
at one time anticipated, it is only reasonable to
expect that a reduction in the price of the
staff of life should follow, and that to a considerable
extent, in a short time. We are glad to say the po-
tato disease has not increased since our list publica-
tion, and the extent to which it has hitherto spread in
this quarter is so trifling as scarcely to be thought of.
Potatoes are selling at a very moderate price, viz.
Is. 3d. per bushel, not in consequence of the disease,
as has been stated in some papers, but from the abun-
dant and prolific crop.—Kelso Chronicle.
PERTHSHIRE.—The weather for the last eight days
has been everything that could possibly be desired
for the furtherance of harvest operations. Through-
out it has been dry, and generally breezy, and in
consequence of these winnowing qualities, a vast
amount of victual has been safely stored in the barn-
yard in the finest condition possible, whilst cutting
down in high and later districts has been going on
with great alacrity. In the Highlands shearing is
far advanced, and a great quantity already secured,
while the crop is admitted on all bands to be decidedly
the best that has been seen in these quarters for a
great number of years. About the middle of last
week, most of the farmers in the neighbourhood of
Perth had the whole cut down; and from all we can
learn, the crop is still regarded as a good one. On
Tuesday, the thickness of the atmosphere for some
time boded rain, but it ultimately cleared up into a
fine day. Wednesday, however, was gloomy for some
time, and about mid-day a few drops fell, when the
sky again brightened up somewhat, hut not to such
an extent as to allay the dread of a speedy shower.
The reports of the rural constabulary for this county,
up to Saturday, the 16th instant, state that at Aber-
feldy the disease still progressed, but not so rapidly
as it was ten days
ago. At Alyth, the disease
was progressing on some farms, while on others
it is said to be abating. At Bankfoot the disease
was general all over the district. At Blair-
Atholl the disease had commenced, but not appa-
rently to any extent as yet in the fields. At Black-
ford the disease was still progressing, but not
rapidly. At Bridge of Earn the disease still pro-
gressing. It is considered that nearly one-third
of the crop is already lost. At Connie, the disease
has not progressed rapidly during the past
week. At Crieff, the disease was progressing,

not rapidly. At Dunkeld, Dunning, and
Dunblane, the disease had made but little progress
clueing the past week. At Kincardine and Culross,
the disease has partially appeared in almost every

Advertiser.
AllEepeENsuntE
&c.—For the last fortnight, the
weather has been exceedingly favourable for harvest
operations, and great progress had been made. In

L ;-

very early situations the bulk of the crop is already
cut down, in others one-half, and in higher and later,
distlicts'aliout a third. Generally speaking, two or
three weeks _more of the same kind of weather would
close the gates of the stack-yards. As to the crops
having lately had occasion to travel over a good part
of the northern -district, our impression, from what
we saw and heard, is—that from the riVer Dee
to John O'Groat's it will prove a fair average. There
certainly are failures on cold damp lands,' and the
crops after turnips are generally light; but on good
free lea-breaks, they are splendid, and will, *e think,
fully make up for the deficiency on the other soils
and situations. Barley is complained of, in many
instances, as thin on the ground ; but as it has
not been lodged, and is well ripened, we scarcely
think the return will be under an average one ;
while from the colour of it in the field and stook,
we would expect the ireight to be good. ' Wheat,
both in Moray and Ross, looks uncommonly well.
As to potatoes, little can be said about them ; it is
quite true that the disease has not progressed very
sensibly for the last fortnight ; but it is universally
more or less present, and all our past experience
tends to show, that where it exists at all there is
scarcely a chance remains for .preserving them
orer winter, by any care or means yet devised
by the ingenuity of man. The owners are, therefore,
using them very freely, and, where within reach of a
market, selling them off as fast as they can. Turnips
have improved very materially during the last fort-
night, but are still far from promising such a return
as we had for the last two years.—Aberdeen Journal.
INVERNESS-SHIRg, &c.—.lt is very gratifying to
be able to state that as September advances the
weather seems to improve, and that during the
whole of last week it has been of the finest kind.
The days have been warm and unclouded—not a
drop of rain of the slightest moment has fallen.
Few are the fields and far behind which now
remain uncut ; and every available moment—in
our lowlands at least—the farmer employs in the
removal of stooks from the wheat, oat, barley, and
bean fields, and in the building of those comfortable-
looking stacks which form such interesting appendages
to a feria steading. Undoubtedly, in the hilly parts
the farmers are farther behind-,the weather there
having been of a less genial kind, but we trust they are
now in the thick of the harvest. People are now busy
lifting their potatoes, and the gloomy anticipations
are not realised. The crop is found to be almost
unexpectedly great, and although the slums have been
completely withered, the insidious frost came a stage
too late to do serious injury to the tubers. We
have yet, then, the promise of plenty in the land,
although we fear that many of the hill crofters, from
the nature of this wet and windy season, will find
their oat crops deficient, at least in quality. Our
friends to the east of Inverness are far on
with their labours. We regret to learn
that the weather in Skye for some time
back has been unusually wet, and that the
corn crops as well as the potatoes have suffered se-
verely. In Caithness shearing may now be said to
be general, or nearly so.—lnverness Courier.
CUMBERLAND.—Another week of glorious harvest
weather. Reapers have been busy, and an immense
quantity of grain throughout the county has been
safely placed under " thack and rape." The brunt
of the harvest may be said to be fairly over, and it is
on all hands agreed that the crops, when completely
gathered, will turn out at least a fair average.—Car-
lisle Journal.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct, 2.
(Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD )
IN THE IitANKRUPTCY OF G. W. M'ARTHUR REYNOLDS.
In this matter, which has been frequently reported,
his HONOUR gave judgment as follows :—ln review-
ing the circumstances of the case I must advert to the
number of occasions in which Reynolds has become
either bankrupt or insolvent. In 1836 he pays a
dividend on his debts of 6s. Bd. in the pound under e
cessio bonorum in France. Consequent upon and in
`cininezion with his inability to satisfy the debts then
-due, he twice passed through the Insolvent Debtors'
:Court in this country, I think in the year 1839. The
fiat which is now in prosecution against the bankrupt
on his own petition is the second bankruptcy in this
court, and there were no assets under the former fiat.
Now, without inquiring into the cause of the
bankrupt's former difficulties, I cannot come to
the conclusion that his present position has arisen
from the frauds or losses of others, or from mis-
fortunes unavoidable by ordinary prudence. The
world seldom turns wholly against a man except
through his own fault. Now, it must not be supposed
that because we have bankrupt and insolvent laws
that the rights of creditors and the obligations on the
part of debtors are to be diminished or relaxed, except
in cases of accident or misfortune. But when I see a
person in the situation of the present bankrupt, pos-
sessing talents which enable him to secure, as he him-
self has stated, 5001. a year by his pen, I cannot but
attribute those repeat-d inabilities to meet his en-
gagements to a want of prudence or capacity for the
trade which he attempted to carry on. I have no
doubt the bankrupt would have found it more to his
interest if he had employed his whole industry in a
way where he bad some advantage over his neighbours
—I mean in the practice and consequent improvement
of his literary attainments; and having had warnings
by his former failures of his unfitness for a trader,
he should have forborne from what I must now re-
gard in him rather as a commercial gambling or
speculation than a bonA fide trading, without either
knowledge or capital to support it. I have considered
the proposal made by the bankrupt to his creditors.
[The proposal was to pay to the creditors who had
proved their claims a dividend of 6s. in the
pound, or, if the creditors preferred it, 1001. in
six months and 1001. in nine months.] His Honour
said he was by no means satisfied with this proposal ;
and then proceeded to say—l must now observe upon
what the bankrupt stated with regard to his expen-
diture. He thought he was justified in spending
upon himself and his family the whole of his literary
earnings, which were about 5001. a year, at the same
time that his business as a publisher was a losing
concern. The expenses of his trade exceeded the
profits. Surely there was a call upon the bankrupt
to be more circumspect in his expenses, and to en-
deavour in some way to curtail them. Whoever
borrows money or gets into debt is bound in con-
science to repay it. " This," says a learned writer,
" every man can see, but every man does not reflect
that he -is in consequence bound to use the means ne-
cessary to enable him to repay it. If he pays the
money when he has it, or has it to spare, he imagines
he does all that an honest man can do, and all that is
required of him ; whilst the previous measures which
are necessary to furnish him with that money,
he makes no part of his case, nor observes to
be as much his duty as the other such
as contracting his scale of expenses, laying
down his equipage, reducing the number of
his servants, or any of. those humiliating
sacrifices which justice requires of a man in debt the
moment he perceives that he has no reasonable pros-
pect of paying his debts without them." Now, in the
present case, the bankrupt had evidently ;been for a
long time straitened in his means of carrying on his
trade of publisher. It seems that he was 1,1001. de-
ficient in January, 1847, but no mention appears to
have been made [of appropriating any of his literary
gains to the payment of his trade debts. Then, what
has been the conduct of the bankrupt 'towards his
creditors with reference to the present bankruptcy ?
When sued the two creditors, Mr. Wilton and Mr.
Cuthbertson, being unable to obtain-any further as-
sistance from the latter, he gets time from Wilton,
and at the same period he gives every facility to
Cuthbertson to obtain possession, or rather
title, to the greater . portion of his property
(for the bankrupt himself still retained the
possession). If the bankrupt by taking ad-
vantage of the liberty which the Legislature
has giyou to enable a trader who is unable to meet
his engagements to petition for a fiat against him-
self really meant to carry out the full intention of the
Legislature, the property which Cuthbertson has or
lays claim to, and which was valued at 1601., would
have been available for the creditors generally' . On
this point Ido not think the bankrupt has behaved
fairly or honestly towards his creditors • and besides,
I think Reynolds went very far by his conduct, with
regard to certain publications of which he had the
copyright, to render valueless that which, if he had
given proper assistance to his assigness, would pro-
bably have made a considerable addition towards a
dividend for his creditors. On these grounds I feel
called upon to say that the bankrupt must make a
considerable sacrifice for the benefit of his creditors.
Having regard to the means within his power, I think
he must now not only put his creditors in the same
position as they would have been in if he had acted
fairly and honestly towards them both before and
since his bankruptcy, but must also suffer for
having been the main cause of depriving his creditors
of their fair and just rights. Having taken all these
circumstances into consideration, I adjudge that the
certificate of the bankrupt be suspended until he has
paid into the hands of the official assignee or into the
Bank of England, for the benefit of his creditors,
the
sum of 5001.; such payment, if the bankrupt desire it,
to be made by instalments of 1001. every six months,
with protection to the bankrnpt from six months
to six months, so long as such payments are duly
made.

Suspended accordingly.
Mr. DUNCAN complained that the bankrupt had,
after his Honour's judgment was delivered, made use
of insulting expressions to Mr. Moss, solicitor to the
opposing creditor.
The bankrupt did not deny the accusation, and
His HoNoug reproved him for having acted so in.
decorously.
The matter then dropped.

The Earl of Auckland had an interview with Sir
George Grey yesterday, at the Home-office.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARYLERUNE.
•
Two determined looking fellows, named John
Clarke and Thomas Carter, were placed at the bar
before Mr. Long, charged with the following brutal
conduct :
Cocke 341 S, who, from the limping manner in
which he got into the witness-box, had evidently
sustained much injury, deposed that on Saturday
night last he was called to the Adam and Eve public-
house, New-read, in consequence of there being a
disturbance there, and on his entering he saw a man,
whom the landlord was endeavouring to eject from
the premises, put his hand into the pocket of the
landlord, and at the moment of the hand being with-
drawn, two sixpences fell upon the floor. Witness
took him into custody, when he was immediately
surrounded by a great number of low characters, who
closed in upon him, and after knocking him down,
the man alluded to effected his escape. He shortly
afterwards saw Clarke, who was the leader in the
attack made upon him, re-enter the house, when he
collared him and led him away to the station-house,
on the road to which a host of his companions
followed him, and in Munster-street some of them
called out " Go it Jack I" upon which a rush forward
was made, and witness was felled to the ground by
two or three tremendous blows ; he was also kicked
while lying down, and Clarke was a second time
rescued.

Moore, 58 D, said, that while assisting Cocke in
bringing Clarke along he was struck more than once
by the prisoner Carter, whose conduct was violent in
the extreme. Witness at length succeeded in con-
veying him to the station-house.
It further appeared that Clarke was ultimately
captured a third time by Bow, 383 S, who sprang
upon him suddenly in Brook-street, and held him
securely until additional aid was afforded by the ar-
rival of other officers, who, hearing the spring of
rattles, ran to the spot. The prisoners were, after a most
desperate resistance, locked up, Carter having, while
being conveyed down stairs to his cell at the station,
again assaulted the constable Moore.
Mr. LONG felt it his duty to deal with the prisoners
as severely as the law would allow him, and instead
of giving them an opportunity of effecting their
liberty by payment of fines, committed them at once
to hard labour in the House of Correction for a month.
They were then locked up.
Richard Greex, a youth about 17 years of age, was
placed at the bar upon the following serious charge,
preferred against him by his father, John Green, re-
siding in Brunswick-mews, Portman-square.
Complainant's statement was, that he had been con-
tinually plundered by the prisoner, but had many
times forgiven him, in the hope that he would reform.
In this expectation, however, he had been disap-
pointed, and as he could not endure to be robbed any
longer, he some time ago forbade the prisoner to
enter his house again. In spite of this he went to
the house on Saturday evening last, during com-
plainant's temporary absence, and the complainant, on
being informed by one of his daughters of his visit,
hastened home, when the prisoner swore that he had
come for money, and money he would have, or he
would set fire to the premises before the morning.
He actually attempted in the previous week to carry
a threat of a similar nature into effect, but was pre-
vented by a policeman from doing so.
152 D said, that on the :way to the station the pri •
saner said his intention was to rob and not to set fire
to the house.

Some other evidence was gone into, and the case
was ultimately decided by the magistrate sending the
prisoner to the House of Correction for one month
for being on the premisesgwith intent to commit a
felony.

WORSHIP-STREET.
_PrederickWaddelove, the conductor of a lloaton
and Chelsea omnibus, was brought before Mr. Tyr-
whitt upon a warrant, charged with an aggravated
assault upon Mr. Mark Gale, a cheesemonger, of
K in g's- road, Chelsea.
The complainant stated that on the afternoon of
the 17th ult. he and his wife entered the defendant's
omnibus in Sloane-square with the intention of pro
ceeding to noxton, but they had only travelled a
short distance when his attention was drawn to the
offensive conduct of the conductor by some female
passengers, who complained that he had grossly in-
sulted them as they were stepping into the omnibus,
Witness was accordingly induced to watch him closely.
and having himself seen him act in the manner de-
scribed to one or two respectable women as they were
leaving the omnibus, he and other gentlemen present
remonstrated with him upon such disgraceful conduct,
when the defendant, who was evidently intoxicated,
commenced swearing at and assailing them with a
torrent of abusive epithets, which he kept up without
intermission the greater part of the journey. Wit-
ness at length told him that he should not allow his
wife's ears to be disgusted with such language, and
that unless he instantly desisted he should be com-
pelled to leave the vehicle. He had no sooner made
the observation than the defendant exclaimed with an
oath, " I'll take care that you shall ;" and seising hold
of his collar dragged him forcibly out into the road
and there struck him a violent blow under the ear,
which caused him to stagger back several paces. His
wife, who was very much terrified, got out after him
as quickly as possible, and before he recovered the
effects of the blow the defendant hastily mounted the
stops of the omnibus, which was driven rapidly off.
The complainant added that he entertained no vindic-
tive feelings against his assailant, who had since ex-
pressed great contrition and offered him an ample
apology, and he therefore wished to recommend the
case to the lenient consideration of the magistrate.
In answer to the charge the defendant said that he
had certainly been drinking rather freely, which
rendered him unconscious of what he was doing.
He hoped the magistrate would deal mercifully with
him, as he had never been guilty of similar miscon-
duct.

Mr. TTRWHITT said that it was a very gross case,
and as the defendant was manifestly a most unfit
person to be entrusted with a license, his only doubt
was whether he should not withhold it from him
altogether. He should direct it, however, to be sus-
pended for a time in the hands of the warrant officer,
and order the defendant to pay a penalty of 405., or
stand committed for a month to the House of Cor-
rection.

THAMES.
A well-dressed man, named William Hall, 14,
Orchard-row, Stepney, who was described as a ma-
riner, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged
with making use of very foul language to a young
girl named Eleanor Ball, and also to a respectable
married woman named Broom, and exposing himself
in an indecent manner to them.

He was given into the custody of a police-consta-
ble, who found upon him a Bible and Prayer-book,
and ascertained that he had been attending Divine
service at Stepney, which place he had left only a few
minutes before the offence was committed, and that he
maintained the character of being a very religious
man. On being taken to the station. house he asked
the women he had insulted to be merciful to him for
he had just left Step-
Rey Church, of
haeprisnhnis er we.
inifdefence
said,
Rey Church, when the women, who were standing at
the door of a coffee-shop, began throwing walnut-shells
at him, and when he remonstrated with them he was
given into custody.
The witnesses denied that there was any truth in the
prisoner's assertion, and
Mr. YARDLEY said, he should not be discharging
his duty to the public if he did not inflict the heaviest
sentence awarded by law for such an infamous and
unmanly offence—which was, that the prisoner be
imprisoned and kept to hard labour' for three calendar
months.

SOUTHWARK.
Antt Kelly was brought before Mr. Cottingham,
charged with stealing a purse, containing four 51.
notes and two sovereigns, from the person of Mr.
Samuel Gooch, of Larkhall-lane, Clapham.
The complainant stated that on the previous even-
ing, as he was walking along High-street, he was
accosted by the prisoner, who prevailed on him to
treat her to some refreshments ; and after leaving the
public-house he stood talking to her at the corner of
the street. While they were engaged in conversation
she thrust one of her hands into his trousers pocket
and pulled out his purse, containing four Si. bank-
notes and two sovereigns, with which she ran away.
He pursued her, and on coming up with her found
her in the custody of a policeman, who had his purse
and money.
Policeman 106 M stated, that he observed the pri-
soner running with great haste from the complainant,
and that he saw her drop the purse on the ground be-
fore she got up to him, when he caught her in his arms.
He added that the complainant claimed the purse,
which was found to contain the exact sum of which he
represented that he had been robbed.
The prisoner said that Mr. Gooch was intoxicated,
and that he was with another woman previously to
his having met with her, and that it was by the latter
person he had been robbed.

The complainant, however, contradicted this asser-
tion - and
Mr. COTTINGHAM, in committing the prisoner for
trial, said that these street robberies on the south
side of the river had become so frequent of late,
and many of them were of so daring a nature, that
it was absolutely necessary to make an example of the
offenders.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—Last night Mr. W. Payne
held an inquest at St. Thomas's Hospital, on the body of
William R. Blundel, aged 75, a fellowship porter. De-
ceased was engaged on the 22d ult., assisting a meter,
measuring corn in the hold of the Sir Robert Peel screw
steamer, which lay off the Tower. The deceased hid
placed a rope, with a noose around the mouth of a sack,
for the purpose of hauling it out of the hold of the
vessel, when by some accident the sw2k broke away from
the rope, and falling deceased, struck him to the ground,
fracturing his right ankle. He was brought ashore, and
conveyed to the above hospital, where he gradually sank,
and died from the injury on Saturday last. Verdict;
"Accidental death."

•
THE ESSEX POISONINGS.
RAMSEY, ESSEX, MONDAY.—The adjourned inves.
tigation into the mysterious circumstances attendant
upon the death of Nathaniel Button, whose body was
recently exhumed in consequence of the reports
which had been circulated with reference to the sys-
tem of poisoning which has prevailed in this part of
the country, was held this afternoon at the Nelson's
Head, Ramsey, before William Codd, Esq., the Co-
roner for the Northern Division of Essex.
Mr. CODD opened the proceedings by remarking
that, in accordance with the wish of the jury, ex-
pressed on the last assembling of the inquest, the
whole of the viscera of the deceased man, Nathaniel
Button, had been taken by Mr. Bird to London, for
the purpose of being analysed by Professor Taylor,
whose report would be read to them.
The first witness called was
Mr. John Bird, surgeon, of Harwich. He deposed
as follows:—On Thursday, the 21st of September last,
I delivered to Professor Taylor, at his laboratory at
Guy's Hospital, the contents of the stomach of the de-
ceased, Nathaniel Button. They were contained in
four jars and three bottles.
Professor Taylor, of Guy's Hospital, submitted a
report of his analysis of the various portions of the
intestines, but the result of his experiments was, that
no trace of arsenic existed in any part of the body of
the deceased. The conclusions to which Professor
Taylor arrived were, that, although he had not suc-
ceeded in detecting the trace of arsenic, that poison
might originally have existed in the body. The pro-
duct of putrefaction is ammonia, and arsenic in all ita
foams is readily dissolved by it, and the poison might
easily have been drained away and lost. The chemical
examination of the viscera afforded no ground for
supposing that death had been caused by poison, and
frotn their present decomposed state it was impossible
to say if inflammation had existed, or to account in
any other way for the death of the deceased. Pro-
fessor Taylor reviewed at some length the symptoms
of the disease from which it was said the man had
died, and in doing so gave it as his opinion that, in
the absence of the most material proofs which che-
mical analysis should furnish, English cholera in a
violent form might be sufficient to account for the
symptoms immediately preceding death.
Several witnesses were examined, whose evidence
seemed to corroborate the suspicion that poison, as at
first supposed, had been administered.
A juryman said it appeared to him and his brother
jurors that the cause of death was by no means satis-
factory. By Professor Taylor's report it was per-
fectly clear that arsenic might have been at one time
in the body, but lost from putrefaction, caused by
long interment. They did not therefore feel justified
in coming to the conclusion that the deceased had
died a natural death. They would like to return a
verdict which would leave the case open, in the event
of the coroner being able...to obtain any further
evidence.
The Conostan said, although no poison had 'cieen
discovered, it was possible (he did not say it was
probable) that death had been caused by that means.
But as it would be necessary, in the event of going
before another jury, to prove the cause of death,
which had not been done at present (for, elaborate as
Professor Taylor's report was, it failed in proving the
cause of death), he could not therefore advise them
to adopt Professor Taylor's report. He was ready,
if the jury thought proper, to go further into the case,
but he candidly confessed that at present he thought
it would be useless.
Several jurors expressed their entire concurrence
with these views.
After some conversation the room was cl
and the jury, after about half-an-hour's deliberation,
returned the following verdict :—" That the deceased,
Nathaniel Button, on the 28th day of September, in
the year of our Lord 1844, was taken ill with a
violent retching and diarrhoea, of which he shortly
afterwards died, but how such retching and diarrhoea
was produced there is no evidence before the jury to
show."

The CORONER then took occasion to observe upon
~other eases of suspected poisonings, and said that as
some-misapprehensions had arisen it would, perhaps,
be necessary for him to say a few words on the sub-
ject. He had taken great pains to make himself
acquainted with the cases which had been brought
under his notice. The conclusion at which he had
arrived was, that at present there was not sufficient
evidence to justify him in goingat once into these cases.
He certainly thought :that there was strong ground
for believing that many of the children had been un-
fairly dealt with, but up to the present time no direct
or positive case had been reported to him. lie wished
it to be distinctly understood that, notwithstanding
the result of the present inquiry, he should not be
deterred from going most fully into cases of a similar
description ; for he was determined to do all that lay
in his power to extinguish the iniquitous system
which there was every reason to believe had been for
some time past prevailing in that locality. He hoped
that every death that might occur without the inter-
vention of a medical man would be most narrowly
watched, and he would also wish that medical men
(and he spoke only of a few) would pay more regard
to the symptoms of parties whom they were called
upon to attend than appeared to have been the case in
several instances which had come before him in kis. official capacity.—The proceedings then terminv:sed.
