PORTSMOUTH.
REINFORCEMENTS FOR IRELAND.

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

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

t is stated on high authority that Chevalier Bun-
sen, who left London two days since, had been recalled
by the King of Prussia to occupy an important post now
vacant in the Prussian Cabinet. It is also stated that
Lord Palmerston has decided upon sending an English
Ambassador to Frankfort (Lord Cowley is spoken of),
whose office it will be to act as mediator in the Danish
question, and to recommend energetically a settlement
of that question. He will be seconded in this by M.
Bunsen, one of the negotiators in the late armistice. M.
Bunsen is replaced here by the Secretary of Lecatiou,
Prima) Lowenstein.—Chronicle.

MANCHESTER, THURSDAYEVENING.—Last night
an attempt was made to set fire to a mill in Bolton, for
tunately without effect. This afternoon a man was ob-
served in Oxford-road, in this city, loitering about in
such a manner as to attract the attention of the police.
The man observing that he was watched, threw away a
parcel ho held in his hand, took to flight and escaped.
The parcel, when opened, was found to contain a quan-
tity of gunpowder and a number of matches. This
evening it has been ascertained that the clubs intend to
assemble at three o'clock to-morrow morning. No ap-
prehension need be entertained, as the authorities are
fully prepared to meet any emergency.
SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF AN INFANT.—Yesterday
morning an inquiry was opened at the Malpas Arms,
Charles-street, Grosvenor-square, before Mr. Bedford,
the Coroner, touching the death of an infant named
Mary Ann Theresa Dore, aged four months, who died
from the effects of arsenic under the following suspicious
circumstances. It appeared from the evidence of nu-
merous witnesses, that the deceased was the daughter
of Mr. Dore, a servant in the employ of Sir Alex-
ander Spearman, a county magistrate. The mother
of the deceased resided with her parents, who keeps
a lodging-house, at Nos. 4 and 5, Lower Grosvenor-
street. During the last two months the deceased had
ben afflicted with the thrush. A visit to the Isle of
Wight, for a change of air, was advitted. The child was
prescribed for by members of the faculty both in town
and at the Isle of Wight, the mother returning with it
from the latter place after a very short sojourn, in con-
sequence of its increased illness. The death taking place
immediately after, suspicions were excited, and one of
the surgeons who had attended it previous to its decease,
Mr. Woolmer, removed the stomach of the child, and
also the intestines, to be analysed. Mr. Rogers, lecturer
on chemistry, now stated that he analysed the contents
ef the stomach, and in every experiment he detected
arsenic. He found two grains, which were quite suffi-
cient to cause death. Evidence having been given to
show that none of the medicine that had been prescribed
contained any portion of arsenic, either inadvertently
or otherwise, the mother of the child and the grand-
mother were conveyed to the station-house, the inquiry
being adjourned until Monday next, in order to obtain
the evidence of the surgeon whom the mother stated had
attended it when at the Isle of Wight.
Tim LATE MRS. COBBETT.—The remains of Mrs.
Cobbett, widow of the late Mr. Cobbett, M.P., were
on
Wednesday last conveyed to Farnham, in Surrey, and
there intered in the same spot where those of her his
band were deposited in 1835. The deceased lady, who
was married to Mr. Cobbett in 1792, was in her seventy-
fifth year at the time of her death.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL INEAVS•
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet.
Sales 5,000 to 6,000 bales. There was no change in
prices, and 4,000 bales of American went at 3id. to .- d.
per lb. Railway Shares were fiat, and prices were
rather lower.
In the continental advices received to-day we find
very little news of interest, beyond what partakes of a
political character, and which is more appropriately
discussed in another column of The Sun. From Paris
we have no further infnrmation on financial matters,
and there is some interest felt to learn how the Govern-
went will suceed in raising money. The great capi-
talists Nvil% no doubt, endeavour to support the money
trarlr_:rc; but whether they will be inclined to risk fur-
ther advances in view of the possibility of French inter-
vention in the affairs of Italy, remains yet to be seen.
There is a matter which we trust all our contempo-
raries will unite with us in bringing under public con-
demnation, viz., the transmission of forged news by
means of the electric telegraph. It is high time the
company, for its own respectability, should adopt strin-
gent precautions to check such disgraceful and too often
repeated practices, since it is obvious that with very
little exertion the object could be accomplished. Yes-
terday the City was thrown into a high state of excite-
ment by the forged news, and at the west-end, as we
are informed, there were similar scenes of bustle and
scrambling to obtain copies of The Sicri newspaper, es-
pecially after the official contradiction given in Parlia-
ment. All reliance upon telegraphic news will be
destroyed unless the company affords a better guarantee
for its authenticity, and we should be sorry to find oven
the shadow of probability given to the idea of interested
motives which the letter of the Times Liverpool agents
would. seem to have inspired. The directors of so im-
porta:it a concern as the Electric Telegraph Company
should. be above suspicion.
As was to be expected now the weather is looking
finer, the accounts relative to the potato crops are be-
coming more satisfactory, and probably a few days will
occasion the recovery of nearly all that have shown in-
cations of disease. The Corn market is kept steady
to-day certainly, but business has been dull.
The Funds have been quieter to-day, but were natu-
rally rather better when the news of yesterday was
ascertained to be false. Still the anxiety for the
coming struggle is too great to allow of investments at
the comparatively high rates which are now current,
unless there is every assurance of Ireland remaining
peaceable, even when subdued. People of cool judg-
ment b ave no apprehension of ultimate consequences,
and the abundance of money certainly induces people
to run some risk. Much, however, will depend upon
the con tinuance of a supply of money stock such as we
have 11.-ad forsome days past, and as is supposed on account
of the Irish banks, for it seems there has been a smart
run for gold at Dublin. Consols opened at 86} k for
transfer, and have since been 85i e, while for " time"
they tc,uched 86k, and were last marked 851 The
unfunded debt is very heavy at 325. to 345. for the March
bills, and 295. to 345. premium for those of June. East
