SURREY SESSIONS.--(THIS DAY.)
(Before THOMAS PUCKLE, Esq., and a full bench of

Magistrates.)
William Wilson, a powerful looking young fellow, was
convicted of picking pockets, and sentenced to six
months' imprisonment at Guildford, and to be once pri-
vately whipped.
The prisoner was again indicted for committing a
savago assault on Thomas Goose, police constable 160
L, while attempting to apprehend him. Verdict, Guilty.
Sentence, three months' imprisonment.
John Starr and Michael Ryan, two of the " forty
thieves," were convicted of picking pockets, and sen-
tenced to six months' hard labour at Brixton.

PAYNE'S TIMBER PRESERVING PROCESS.—A nu-
merous and distinguished party, among whom were the
Lord Mayor, the Speaker of the House of Commons,
Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P., Lord Ebrington, Sir E.
Codrington, Captain Mansell, RN., John Abel Smith,
Esq., M.P., Captain Chappell, RN., Blunt, Esq., (of
the Colonial• office), the Russian Consul, H. C. Lacy,
Esq., M.P., C. Williams, Esq., S. Smirke, Esq., Bolton
Bolton, Esq., E. Janson, Esq., T. Grissell, Esq., Captain
Mildmay, R. N., G. Edwards, Esq., &c., attended yes-
terday at Whitehall Wharf to witness the experiment of
the Timber Preserving Company, to prove the complete
efficacy of Payne's process in arresting the spread of
flame. The process, as is well known, differs from those
of Ryan, Burnett, and Bethel, in employing not only
exhaustion and pressure to inject and transfuse pre-
servativ,t solutions, but in producing, by chemical de-
composition and combination, a new and insoluble ele-
ment in the pores of wood, which is thereby rendered
proof, not only against rot and the ravages of insects,
but (with a slight modification of the ordinary process)
against the agency of fire, or at least of flame. Two
wooden structures, of which the one was prepared by
the process, and the other made of ordinary timber, were
subjected to a very trying ordeal, about seven pounds of
shavings being placed within the chambers and
ignited. Tho Paynised cottage eff'ectually resisted this
agency ; the unprepared one was consumed to the
water's edge.

CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE.—The following appoint-
ments have taken piace:—The Rev. John England Rudd,
M.A., curate of Sr. Mark's Church, Birmingham, to the
rectory of Covenham, St. Mary, Lincolnshire, on the
nomination of the Lord Chancellor; the Rev. William
Taylor, M.A., to the rectory of Newton Bromswold,
Northamptonshire, on the nomination of the Warden
and Fellows of All Soul's College, Oxford; the Rev.
Charles William Hughes, M.A., to the incumbency of
Burcombe, Wiltshire, on the nomination of the Master
of St. John's Hospital, Wilton; the Rev. H. Dyke, M.A.,
to the rectory of Greatworth, Northamptonshire, ren-
dered vacant by the death of the Rev. H. Brading, M.A.;
the Rev. Charles John Ellicott, M.A., Platt, Fellow of
St. John's College, Cambridge, to the rectory of Pelton,
Rutlandshire, rendered vacant by the death of the Rev.
Gregory Bateman, M.A., on the nomination of Sir Gil-
bert Heatheote, B.irt.
THE NEW METROPOLITAN SANITARY BILL.—
Yesterday.the Lord Mayor, Mr. Deputy Peacock, and
other members of the Corporation, waited upon Lord
Murpeth, upon the subject of certain clauses, relative to
the City of London, in the new (Bill for effecting sanitary
improvement in the metropolis. The deputation were
received with the utmost courtesy by his Lordship, who,
it is stated, expressed au anxious wish that the citizens
of London would be satisfied with those parts of the
measure which related to their benefit.
DREADFUL FIRE AND Loss OF LIFE AT NEW•
CASTLE—About half-past eleven o'clock on Sunday
evening a fire was discovered in Mr. Carr's public-house,
Ridley-court, Groat-market, Newcastle. Although the
alarm was almost instantly given, yet, before the arrival
of the fire-engines, the flames had gained such an as-
cendancy that it was impossible to save the premises.
The wind was blowing pretty strong from the south-
west at the time, and the fire soon communicated with
the adjoining tenement property, and from thence to the
premises fronting the street. The Newcastle engine,
closely followed by the North British and that of the
barracks, was soon upon the spot; but before the en-
gines were in full play it became evident that no effort
could be effectual in saving the presimies, as from the
bottom of the court to the front street one mass of fire
presented itself. About half-past one o'clock, the flames,
having destroyed nearly the whole of the upper stories
of the front buildings, were descending to the shops,
when Mr. Elijah Galloway, the conductor of
the Newcastle fire-engine, and three other per-
sons, broke open a shop, with the inten-
tion of saving a quantity of cheese which was in it, and,
we are very sorry to have to state, that they had not been
in the shop more than a few minutes when the roof fell
in, and one of the burning beams coming through the
floors struck Mr. Galloway and knocked him down, and
although it is said one of his companions struggled hard
to save him, at the risk of his own life, the ruins con-
tinued to fell so fast that all efforts to relieve him were
unavailing, and his lifeless body was not got out until
about half-past five o'clock. Two other persons were
much injured. The destruction of property is deplor-
able, several parties having lost their all. The building
in which the fire originated was originally the Newcastle
Assembly-room, afterwards the library of the Literary
and Philosophical Society, and has been used as a room
in which 'several societies held their meetings. A pre-
liminary inquest was held on Monday morning on the

jostle the constables, until the latter were compelled to
use their batons, which they did most effectually,
striking about them right and left, and inflicting
several hard blows on their ruffian assailants. At
this time the Cowgate, from the South Bridge to
George the Fourth Bridge, presented one living mass
of human beings, and the riot now began to assume
a threatening appearance. After extraordinary exer-
tions, the policemen at length reached the Old Assembly
Close, up which they conveyed the prisoner, while three
of their number stationed themselves at the foot of the
close to ward off the crowd. Some of the more auda-
cious of the mob closed with the policemen, wrenched
the batons from their hands, and cut and bruised them in
a severe manner. Information of the affray having
reached the police-office, Mr. Moxey, the superintendent,
speedily reached the spot, with 40 men, and apprehended

DESTRUCTION AND RAPID RE-CONSTRUCTION OF A
RAILWAY BRIDGE.—One of the wooden bridges on the
Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, a little west of flex-
ham, was accidentally destroyed by fire one day last
week. The fire was caused by the falling of a red-hot
cinder from the grate of the engine of a luggage train,
which passed over it just before the fire was discovered.
Being constructed of wood and coated with pitch, the
fire burned with great rapidity, and every portion of the
wooden frame-work was destroyed, leaving only the stone
piers standing. Messrs. Rush and Lawton, the eminent
railway contractors, were called in to re• construct it ;
they commenced operations at five o'clock on Friday
morning, and opened the bridge for the mail train on
Sunday, since when the general traffic has been unob-
structed! The bridge consisted of four river arches,
and its permanent re-construction, in so short a period,
reflects great credit on the skill and available resources
of the eminent firm to whom the work was iatrusted.

ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA.
LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. - The Royal Mail
steam-ship Caledonia, Captain John Leitch, arrived
in the river at noon to-day, from New York, via
The Caledonia bring 47 passengers, 23,0001. in
specie, and dates from New York to 19th ult. inclu.-
sive ; Halifax to 22d.
The news from Europe of the Paris insurrection,
which was carried out by the steam-ship Niagara,
had caused considerable sensation, and further ad-
vices from Europe were anxiously looked for. A
hope was expressed, however, by the mercantile
elasQs, that the insurrection having terminated so
signally in the triumph of law and order, that com-
mercial transqctions with the Continent would the
sooner be generally resumed.
Congress had made no move towards an adjourn-
ment. The question now engaging the attention of
both the Senate and the House is the proper disposi-
tion of the newly-acquired territory ceded by Mexico.
The introduction of slavery into these new states, in-
cluding also it would seem Oregon, is of course stre-
nuously advocated by the representatives from the
southern states, whilst an equally strong party in
Congress, from the rp.rthern states, condemn the
measure. The New York Courier and Inquirer

says
A compromise has been attempted in the Senate,
with what success remains to be seen. Two propositions
are before that body—the one to adopt the line of the
Missouri compromise, which would guarantee all the ter-
ritory north of 36 degrees 20 seconds to freedom, and
surrender all south of it to slavery. But inasmuch as a
large portion of the new territory is south of this line,
thut proposition would absolutely plant slavery where it
now has no existence, and therefore be objectionable.
" Another proposition is to make all north of the Mis-
souri compromise free, and to leave all south of it open
to the declaration of its future inhabitants, whether or
not slavery shall exist there. This, at least, would ex•
empt the federal Government from actually establishing
slavery on free soil, even if the inhabitants thereof shall
themselves hereafter introduce it."
From all appearances, however, it was probable
that this question would be adjourned over to the
next session of Congress.
The papers in almost every large city were com-
plaining bitterly about the operation of the new "re-
taliatory" postage Act, and several able letters on the
subject had appeared in the New York Journal of
Commerce. In connexion with this postage question
we notice that in the Senate, on the 16th, on Mr. Niles
bringing up his Bill for regulating the payment of
the ocean steam. ships according to services performed,
Mr. Allen intimated his intention of moving
that, on the termination of the existing con-
tracts which the United States Government had
entered into with the various steam-ship companies,
no new contracts should be entered into, as from the
results of the mail contracts with ocean steam com-
panies so far, he was sure that all such arrangements
were very injurious, in a financial point of view, to
the Government. He announced his determined
opposition to all future contracts with ocean mail
steamers.
The Canal Bank at Albany failed on the 12th. It
was one of those banks denominated " Safety Fund,"
and was a very old institution, and has ranked very
high in public estimation, as being a safe concern.
The capital of the bank was 400,000 dollars, the
whole of which, together with 113,000 dollars depo-
sited, would be lost; and it seems very doubtful
whether the circulating notes, amounting td 189,000
dollars more, will ever be paid. The exposition of
the affairs connected with the concern are very dis•
reputable.
The Washington steam-ship, belonging to the
United States Ocean Steam Navigation Company,
was advertised to leave New York on the 21st, the
day after the Caledonia left.
The Southern Telegraph Company (Magnetic)
whose line extends from .Now York, through Phila-
delphia and Baltimore to Washington, a distance of
about 250 miles, had declared their first annual divi-
dend 6 per cent.
The news from Mexico is not uninteresting.
Paredes, at the head of a small force, had pillaged the
Mint at Guanajato, and then proceeded for the Mex-
ican capital. The coin stolen from the Mint is said
to have been chiefly English. The authorities in
Mexico were preparing to suppress the insurrection,
but the condition of the country on the whole is very
unpromising. Almost all the American forces had
left the country, General Worth's division being the
only one remaining.
Business matters in New York kept dull, as indeed
was usual at this season. Money was, however, quite
scarce, and as touch as I to 11 per cent. a month
was paid on good paper.
The export of specie had not entirely ceased, the
quantity sent from New York during the week pre-
vious to the Caledonia sailing being about 310,756 .
dollars.
Exchange on England had been bought freely at
9:41 to 10, so much so as to induce sellers to ask 10.1,,
which rate, however, was not firmly maintained.
Flour was quoted 5 doll. 50c. fir good Genessee ;
common sorts, 5 doll. 12ic. to 5 doll. 25c.; Indian
Corn, 52c. to 55c.; Meal, 2 doll. 50c. per brl.
Cotton was quiet, but firm, holders confidently ex-
pecting to hear of an advance in price in England by
the Hibernia, then expected in.
The exports of Cotton during the week ending
July 19 to Great Britain were 35,000 bales, making
total exports to Great Britain since September 1,
1847, 1,190,000. The stock in New York was
60,000 bales.
Freights were very low. Cotton, d. to 5-32 d.
per lb.; Corn, 3d. to 4d. per bushel in bags, sd. in
bulk.

NEW YORK MARKETS.
TUESDAY, JULY 18.—Flour exhibited very little
change, and sales of this state and western brands were
made at about yesterday's prices. Pura brands of Ge-
nessee were in steady demand for the eastern trade, at
full prices. Small sales new were again made at yester-
day's rates. Wheat was quiet, and no sales of moment
reported. Yellow corn continued in steady demand,
while supplies were light; sales were made to a flair ex-
tent at yesterday's rates. There was no change in meal,
rye, or oats. Provisions were firmer, and considerable
sales were reported, including prime and mess, at an
advance. Lard remained about the same. Sugars
were active, with a fair amount of sales, on terms stated
below.

IRELAND.

donia. She brought information that a report had
reached Havanna!), previous to her sailing, that an in-
surrection had broken out at Porto Rico, and that the
Government there had sent to Havanna!' for assist-
ance ; the• report was not generally credited. The
steam-ship Hibernia, from Liverpool, of the Bth, and
the United States from Havre, of the 10th, had not
arrived on the departure of the Washington.
News had been received at New York from
Mexico and Vera Cruz after the departure of the
Caledonia. The state of Mexico still continued in a
dreadful state of anarchy and confusion, in conse-
quence of General Paredes' revolutionary rnovemtnt.
Since the date of last advices he seems to have
gained some ground, and had numbered a tclerable
opposing force to Government, consisting of about
00 pieces of artillery, with 1,500 men in his ranks,
and upwards of 4,000 muskets, with a handsome
supply of munitions of war. He had erected forti-
fications at Guanajuata, in case of surprise from the
Government troops, and also laid an embargo on the
Mint there, seizing 600,000 dollars for the use of his
band. The American troops were nearly all with-
drawn from the country, su that the Mexicans were
left to fight their own insurrectionary battles.
It is impossible to foresee the result of this move-
ment on the part of Paredes, but one thing is certain,
that the state will at uny rate be embroiled in all the
horrors of a civil war, unless Paredes be put down
by the Government.

There was no improvement in the Money Marke
in New York after the sailing of the Caledonia.

ARRIVAL OF LORD lIARDINGE.
DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNlNG.—Lieutenant-Gene-
ral Viscount Ilardinge has arrived in town, having left
London yesterday', to give his invaluable co-operatio❑ in
suppressing the insurrectionary movement in the south.
This distinguished officer arrived in Kingstown by the
Amphion, and reached town at half-past one o'clock by
a special train of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway.
The Gallant General proceeded to the Vice-regal Lodge
Phoenix Park, to visit the Lord-Lieutenant. Lieutenant-
General Sir Edward Blakeney, Commander of the
Forces, has also gone to the Vice-regal Lodge. It is
stated that Lord Hardinge is to proceed to join the
army in the south to-morrow morning, but this is not
certain.
Up to last night there was no intelligence that could
he relied on respecting the locality of the rebel leaders.
Vague reports of all kinds were in circulation, one of
which was to the effect that Generals O'Brien, Meagher,
and Devin Reilly had succeeded in embarking on board
a vessel in Galway, which was on the point of sailing to
America.
The Freeman's Journal of this morning contains the
following :

"Kilkenny, Tuesday Night, Nine o'Clock.
" Up to this hour it is not known where Smith O'Brien

is at present. In my dispatch of Sunday night I in-
formed you that Sub-Inspector Trent and his party of
police retired from the house in which they had been
surrounded, and reached their quarters in safety. I have
since learned that Smith O'Brien and his men had moved
off from the Ballingarry heights before the sub-inspector
ventured to bring out his men into the open air, in con-
sequence of the approach from Thurles of General
M'Donald with artillery and two thousand men. The
general was brought up by Mr. Blake, the county in-
spector of Kilkenny, who had ordered Mr. Trant and
other sub-inspectors to Ballingarry. It is said that Mr.
O'Brien rode by himself from Ballingarry in the diree•
Lion of Kilkenny. I heard to-day, ou what I would cer-
tainly call good authority, that a poor-rate collector or
relieving officer saw Mr. O'Brien, in company with two
other persons, riding across the country in the neigh-
bourhood of Clomanto, which is nine miles from this
city on the Thurles road, yesterday. I believe
this statement to be true. There was a rumour afloat
here that he was in Nenagh last night, but this is not
generally credited.
" From all I have heard on the subject I am disposed
to think that he is in this county, and the measures
taken by the authorities would indicate that they are of
that opinion also.
" The clergymen of many parishes have strongly ad-
vised their flocks not to join in any armed attack on, or
resistance to, the authorities; and I have learned from a
well-informed source, that the parish priest of tiding-
ford, in this county, prevented a number of people from
going to Mr. O'Brien 's assistance on Saturday. It is be-
lieved that Mr. O'Brien fed most of those who flocked
around him at his own expense, and strictly prohibited
any of them from seizing provisions or cattle from
farmers. Early to-day it was reported that a police-
barrack had been attacked at Thurles. At a later hour
the rumour changed to Cashel, and gained more credit.
Indeed it is confidently believed here, at this moment,
that several of the Cashel police were killed in the
attack, for a large body of constabulary have marched
from Kilkenny in the Tipperary direction, and many of
them said that • the City of the Kings' was their des-
tination. That some sudden intelligence caused them
to get the route there is no doubt; for amongst them
were forty-five policemen from the Piltuwn station,
who had in the morning been ordered to return to that

" You may depend on having the earliest intelligence
of Mr. O'Brien's locale, when it shad be known here.
" There are very vague accounts as to the killed and
wounded at 'Ballingarry ; but I think you may rest as-
sured that not more than two were shot dead, though
one hundred and thirty rounds of bail curtrid4es were
fired by Mr. Trant's party. Amongst those wounded is
a young man named Stephens, son of a respectable citi-
zen of Kilkenny, who became acquainted with Mr.
O'Brien whilst acting as assistant-engineer on a line of
railway running near Cahirmoyle. Mr. Stephens is
wounded in the. thigh."
The reporter of the Freeman's Journal, writing from
Kilkenny, says that, according to rumour, Smith O'Brit-n
was in Nenagh on Monday. The Nenagh Guardian of
yesterday evening gives some confirmation to this ru-
mour. Our contemporary says:—
" We have just learned that Mr. O'Brien was seen on
horseback on Saturday afternoon, on a road in this riding
of this county, with a handkerchief tied about his leg,
from which the blood from a wound was flowing."
A respectable solicitor, name Taaffe, was arrested this
morning in his own house by two of the detective police,
who conveyed him away in a covered car.
About the same time the editor of the Drogheda
Argus—Mr. they
Morran—was arrested on a charge of
treasonable practices. He was a leading orator and orga-
nizer in the Mitchel Club at Drogheda.
In Dublin Mr. Meyler, president of the late " Citi-
zens' Club," was arrested of treasonable practices.
There are several others mentioned.
The Cork Southern Reporter of yesterday (Tuesday)
says—" A rumour was prevalent in this city (Cork)
yesterday (Monday) that Mr. R. O'Gorman, jun., was
shot in a collision with the authorities at Tarbert. This
rumour, we understand, had its origin in the fact, that
a gentleman, named O'Gormon, who had lately arrived
from America, and resided at Tarbert, committed
suicide on Saturday. The phonological similarity be-
tween the two names doubtlessgave rise to the mistake."
The proclamations cautioning all parties of the penal-
ties that await them in the event of their harbouring
the rebel leaders were posted all over town last night,
and have created intense excitement among the lower
classes.

The Kilkenny Moderator, received this morning has
an interesting account of the battle of Ballingarry. Our
well-informed contemporary, who writes from the neigh-
bourhood of the fight, cannot say positively the number
of killed, which he gives at eleven--the wounded indefi-
nite. It is not unlikely that a majo!ity of the 130 shots
fired by the police took effect upo❑ the mass of men ex-
posed to them.

The Nenagh Guardian states that but three were
killed. That journal says :
"The names of the three men killed are—Pollard, of
Ballingarry ; Brett, of Ballytarsna ; and Bridge, of
Coolquil—all men in comfortable circumstances, and
farmers of a respectucle class."
Within the last few days upwards of 400 pikes and
60 casks of ammunition have been seized by the autho-
rities in the immediate neighbourhood where the ren-
contre took place between the rebels and the police.
The Limerick Reporter of yesterday says:—" Since the
passing of the late Act, it is said that the inhabitants of
several districts in the country have resulted to pay
neither rents, tithes, nor taxes."
SEARCH AT CAHERNIOYLE, THE RESIDENCE
OF WM. SMITH O'BRIEN, ESQ., M.P.
LIMERICK, MONDAY.—Tha town of Rathkeale was
thrown into the greatest excitement yesterday, in conse-
quence of a demonstration on the part of the police and
military, who proceeded in battle array to Cahermoyle,
the residence of William Smith O'Brien, Esq., M.P., for
the purpose of making a search for papers, &c. It ap-
pears that, acting on false information, which is now
spread far and wide for an obvious purpose, orders were
given from head-quarters to make the search; and that
it was industriously prosecuted, there cannot be a second
opinion. Every room in the house was closely searched
—every box opened—every escrutoire examined—every
nook and corner explored; but it is almost unnecessary
to add that. nothing on earth was discovered that could
throw the slightest light on the authorities, further than
they have been already informed. None of the Caher-
moyle family were at home.—Tipperary Vindicator.
ATTACK ON THE POLICE BARRACKS AT

THURLES.
A correspondent of the Freeman's Journal states :
" I have just aicertained that the insurgents attacked
the police barrack at Thurles last night, but were re-
pulsed. Six of them were shot.
" A large constabulary force, a detachment of
in-
fantry, and one troop of hussars have just started for
that place.
" The correspondence of Dr. Cane has been subjected
to censorship."
" RIOTS IN Tuonnits.—On Saturday last, when the
news of Smith O'Biien's encampment at Ballingarry
and the beleaguered state of the Sub-Inspector Trant's
party reached Thurles, the inhabitants of that patriotic
villiage immediately turned out en masse and proceeded
to arm themselves with all kind ot instruments alike of
war and husbandry, intending immeidi,iealnatertlsyituhtoflautmentahreeceh, as
