several new matches have been made, and that the pros-
pects for the October meetings are very promising.

MALTA.
MAT 4.—Her Majesty's steamer Porcupine arrived
here on Sunday last, having left Naples on the 27th ult,,
very unexpectedly. She brought dispatches to Sir W.
Parker of a very interesting character.
They announce the dispatch of 7,000 troops from
Naples to Lombardy. Six fine war steamers, one brig,
two 50-gun frigates, and a large transport are to convey
them up the Adriatic, from one of the ports in which sea
they are to march into Lombardy. A large squadron
of cavalry and a field battery, composed of some twenty
pieces, are also to follow in the same direction.
The Flotilla was to sail on the evening of the 17th.
One steamer and a brig had already left.
The festivities of Easter have passed off without any
disturbance.
The French steam-frigate Descartes, and the Spanish
frigate Villa di Bilboa, have left Naples for Leghorn. a
From Leghorn. the Descartes (one of the finest fri-
gates the French Republic possesses) is to proceed to
Toulon, where she will be paid off.
There is no English man-of war in port besides the
Sidon, nor, with the exception of a few Neapolitan
steamers, is there any naval force of any nation.
The Trafalgar, with Rear-Admiral Sir L. Curtis on
board, and his family, together with several invalids,
left port en route to England on the 27th ult.
The Porcupine has returned to Messina and Naples
with dispatches, in answer to those above alluded to, to
Vice-Admiral Sir Wm. Parker, Bart.

IRELAND.
THE CONFEDERATION IN KILKENNY.
Dunute, MAY 10.—Messrs Meagher and Gavan Duffy
have been lionizing it in the " city without smoke." On
Monday evening both these gentlemen addressed a nu-
merous assembly of admirers in the Tholsel, and, to do
them justice, they spoke out as if the new " gagging
Act" had become a dead letter. The Kilkenny Moderator
(Conservative authority) gives but a meagre abstract of
Mr. Meagher's speech, which is described as one of the
most exciting and eloquent ever heard in that city, and
that it did not lack the usual incentives to treason will
be made manifest by a perusal of an extract or two from
the outline furnished by the Kilkenny paper; ex. gr:—
"In allusion to the gagging Bill,' he said it was de-
signed to check the candid utterance of the people's feel-
ings in this country, but its real effect had been to
strengthen rather than to repress that expression, and
it had given a new zest to his sedition—(Hear)—and
perhaps had roused him to proceed to lengths to which
otherwise he should not go. The same sentiments as
he had given utterance to before the passing of that
Bill he would now declare to them again,
and he called on them to ratify those sentiments by their
approval.—(Great cheering.) Having inculcated union
among all classes of Irishmen, he proceeded to call upon
the shopkeepers and traders to precipitate themselves
into the ranks of the people, as the only means of pre-
serving their property and preventing bloodshed; by
uniting in one firm body with one resolute determina-
tion, they formed a combination of moral opinion, and
an indication of a resolute will and ready arm—(Cheers)
against which the Government could not advance a
step. for they would say, ' We cannot be guilty of the
blood which would flow unavailingly in support of our
usurpation.' It had been said diet he had been most
violent in his language.—(Cries of You were not.') He
begged their pardon—he had uttered ♦iolent words—
(' Yes')—not exactly such as the Government wished,
but—(A Voice "Ile), are our words'). Yes, they
were the words of the people; those were the words for
which he was to be prosecuted, and for them he might
suffer; but in those words he gloried. If ever he gained
distinction, those were the words to which he should
look to raise him to a position which no Government
could confer. Those words he would never deny before
a jury. They might be violent, but they were true
words.—(Cheers.) After some further observations on
the subject, he proceeded to mention that he had called
upon them to arm—(Great cheering)—to make them-
selves ready every day.—(Hear, hear, and cries of
Pikes!') lie did not counsel them to arm as brigands
or robbers, nor for the purpose of robbing shops or
breaking into castles, hut in order that their attitude
might give effect to their voice, and that every throb-
bing heart might display. a ready arm. [The speaker
was referring to the period of 'B2, when tie was inter-
rupted by a great confusion and outcry amongst the
people beneath. The crowd was swaying to and fro, and
cries of the Police," the Soldiers,' were raised, which
seemed to create a general panic, and some who were
carrying pikes and who had stationed themselves at the
upper end of the street most gallantly took to their heels,
and fled up Meetinghouse-lane, knocking down several
women who lay in their way, while others ran in the oppo-
site direction, and did not stop till they reached the Coal
Market. Several people were trampled on and many
hurt, and the shrieks of women and children were loudly
heard. Though Dr. Cane and others of their local
leaders called upon them to keep order, tranquillity was
not restored amongst them for nearly a quarter of an
hour, when Mr. Meagher proceeded.] He, at some
length, explained that his object in calling upon them to
arm was that they might assume the same attitude as
their fathers, who, in 'B2 stood up with their arms in
their hands, and declared that no power but the King,
Lords, and Commons of Ireland should govern their
country. He wished that in 1848 a similar spectacle
might be exhibited. (Cries of Arm! arm!') Yes,
they should arm.—(Cries of We will.') He hoped
every man capable of performing the functions of a
National Guard would sign a declaration for it—Smith
O'Brien had already done so.—(Successive cheers for
Smith O'Brien, Mitchell, and John O'Connell.) He
then proceeded at much length to discuss the topic of
the formation of the Council of 300, to which, he con-
tended, the people could now look alone for the regene-
ration of Ireland. This body should boldly address the
Government on behalf of the Irish people, and give it
the alternative of repeal or separation—of peace or war
—to concede their just rights, or try its mettle with an
outraged country."—(Tremendous cheering.)
Mr. GAVAN DUFFY followed, and took occasion to
rebuke the stalwart pikemen who fled up Meeting-house-
lane like hares before the hounds, at the bare mention
of the redcoats. Thus spoke the guiding spirit of the
Nation:—
•' He heard a commotion there that night, and had
heard cries of, 'The police are coming,' and a panic
seemed to pervade the meeting at the words. What
meant this panic? The people should grow in strength
and security, and become conscious of their own dignity.
Those present wculd never do for an army of the people
if they were to act in this pusillanimous manner. That
was not the way men calculated to form the people'a army
should act; they should stand their ground, and say to
the police, We are doing no illegal act, and we will
continue where we are.' Perhaps the panic was only
momentary; perhaps it would have occurred anywhere
as well as there; but let them not fall into it ever
again.
" A VOICE—It was women and children.
" Mr. DUFFY—Was it women? In Waterford he had
heard the women ask, When will the time come?' and
look as resolutely and fearlessly for their country's right
as any man. Why should not the women here do the
same? Well, they were women after all, and he would
say no more about it. He then proceeded to charge
them to arm at once.—(Cries of We will.') They
should 'not be content to say they would do it—they
should do so without delay."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUAR7'ER TO TIMEE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very
quiet. Sales 3,500 bales. American realised 32d to
5:!,:d per lb.
Railway Shares have been in good demand, and
prices were again generally higher.
The accounts from Belgium are still chiefly occupied
with the consideration of financial and trading matters,
and it is clear that the mercantile community need much
assistance to carry them forward. The discount bank
at Verviers will issue notes of as low a denomination
as one and two francs. The Executive Council of the
Soci6te Generale seems to be divided in opinion
upon the recent policy adopted to relieve trade. From
Leipsic, we are advised that the prospects of the great
mercantile fair were very gloomy. The number of
buyers present was exceedingly limited. Messrs.
Schaafhausen's balance sheet exhibits a nominal excess
of 1,361,000 francs of assets over liabilities.
There is no local news of interest to-day; the fine
weather is of material importance to the country, and the
corn market is dull, and somewhat lower for all articles
except oats.
The Funds are not so good to. day. Consols opened
at 84 to I, and have since declined to 83i 4 for transfer,
and to 83} I for account. There is probably some in-
fluence exercised by the completion of the arrangements
for the last account, and the preparations making on the
the
French coast have had an unfavourable effect. New

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

Tbis week's arrival of Wheat of home produce, coast-
wise as well as by land carriage and sample, has been
very small, viz., 3,210 qrs. Owing, however, to the
prevailing find weather for the growing crops, the de.
mand for all descriptions was exceedingly heavy, and,
in some instances, Monday's quotations were not sup-
ported. At the close of the market a clearance was not
effected. The best parcels of Foreign Wheat were held
at late rates, but all other kinds were somewhat easier
to purchase. The imports this week have bee'? only
qrs. The show of Barley was trifliag.. G.
i rindlng
sorts sold at full prices, but malting and distilling qua-
lities were neglected. We had a very slow inquiry for
Malt. In prices, however, we have no alteration to
notice. A few parcels of really fine Oats sold at Id per
quarter more money. All other kinds were quite as
dear. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour, were un-
altered in value.

For the time of year the supply of Beasts on offer this
morning was tolerably good, both as to number and qua-
lity. Owing to the hot weather the Beef trade was in
a very sluggish state, at Monday's reduced currencies.
The numbers of foreign stock were by no means large.
From Scotland we received 160 Scots. The market was
fairly supplied with Sheep; yet there was more disposi-
tion to purchase on the part of the butchers, and prices
were readily supported in every instance. The primest
old Downs, out of the wool, sold at from 5s to 5s 2d per
Bibs. Lambs, though in full average supply, moved off
readily at extreme quotations. The arrival from the
Isle of Wight consisted of 400 head. Calves were in
good request, but not dearer. In Pigs verylittl
_busi-
ness was transacted. Mulch Cows were selling at from
