" The proclamation of the Pope has produced a general
feeling in his favour. Since this morning all the bells
have been ringing; the gate towards Ferrara is closed,
and the Civic Guard is under arms. The Prolegato has
published the following proclamation:—
" ' The topographical conditions of the country, the
refusal of the troops to continue a defence deemed im-
practicable, and the concentration on a point more de-
fensible, have determined me to send to the head-
quarters of Marshal \Velden a deputation composed of
Dr. Brunetti and the lawyer Martinelli, with the fol-
lowing protest against the violation of the Pontifical
territory by the entry of the Austrian troops into that
province. This is but an act of superior force, which
cannot in any way injure the plenitude and immunity of
the rights of the Holy See over that province. In the
name of the reigning Sovereign Pontiff we will main-
tain safe and entire the rights and titles, whatever they
be, and particularly the Civic Guard, instituted by the

" Bologna, August 6.
A Tuscan Cabinet courier arrived at the Prole-
gate's office, Bologna, on the Gth, bearing a British
protest against any invasion of the Pontifical terri-
tory. He soon set out again for Ferrara, and the
head-quarters of Marshal WELDEN.

APPLICATION AGAINST THE PROPRIETOR OF THE

" DUBLIN EVENING POST" FOR CONTEMPT.
Mr. BUTT, Q.C., applied to the Court for permission to
have an affidavit sworn by Mr. Edward O'Rorke, attorney
for Mr. Kevin Izod O'Doherty, to enable him to make
an application of a very important character.
Mr. BUTT, Q.C., said that his application was for
an attachment against the proprietor and editor of the
Dublin Evening Post, and that he be required to attend
that Court to answer for the said contempt. The affi-
davit of Mr. O'Rorke stated that ho purchased a copy of
the Dublin Evening Post, which was published o❑ Satur-
day evening, at the office in Suffolk-street; that paper,
he alleged, circulated extensively amongst the persons
who served as jurors for the city of Dublin; and the
publication of the evening to which he referred con,
tained what purported to be a report of the trial of Mr.
Kevin Izod O'Doherty, accompanied by comments which
were calculated to intimidate jurors, and obstruct the
due administration of justice.
The CHIEF BARON said the Court were not prepared
upon a single publication to adopt the summary pro-
ceedings suggested by Counsel, but they would direct,.
in the same manner as had been observed in the case re-
ferred to by Mr. Butt, that no comments should be made
upon any of the proceedings connected with the present
Commission. His own strong opinion upon the subject
was approved of and coincided in by Baron Pennefather,
that there could not be a greater offence against public
justice than for a publisher to apply the means at his
disposal to influence the persons before whom the trials
were to come, and who were to be the judges of the im-
portant question at issue, by the insinuation of any mo-
tives of an improper character, or to intimidate them
in any way from discharging their duty fairly and
properly.

MORE ARRESTS.

The Dublin Heraldhis—th; annexed letter from
Aloy, in the county of Armagh. It will be seen that
the emissary to the north from the head-quarters of
sedition is a member of the "Protestant Repeal As•
sociation :"

" AUGUST 12.—A young gentleman was arrested and
held to bail this day, in Moy. It is said that discoveries
of some importance have been made on the occasion of
this arrest. For obvious reasons it is better not to make
known any particulars of this information. The party
arrested is a student in the University of Dublin and a
member of the Protestant Repeal Association.
" Mr. Eugene Martin, brother of Mr. J. Martin, pro-
prietor of the Felon, was arrested at Edenderry on Sun-
day, under the Act for suspending the writ of habeas
corpus. One of fourteen shopboys, who fled from Messrs.
Pim's haberdashery establishment to escape arrest, was
taken at Trim on Saturday last."
Yesterday Mr. James Lawlor, late a resident of
Summer-hill, was committed to Newgate on a:charge
of treasonable practices. Inspector Entwistle searched
the lodging of Mr. Lawlor, and in a carpet bag under
a bed he got seventy ball cartridges, with about 2lb.
of powder, a quantity of percussion caps, and two
belts.

THE POTATO BLIGHT.
After just forty-eight hours of dry weather, the rain
set in again last night, i and this day it has fallenn one
uninterrupted shower, accompanied by a cold ungenial
wind from the north-east. The fact cannot be blinked
that the potato crop is a failure to an enormous extent,
and there is not the shadow of a doubt that there will be
a fearful deficiency before the close of the year in the
staple food of the Irish peasantry. What is to be the
result of another season of famine Providence can alone
f0r..., From the accounts from all quarters which
arrived this day, there is scarcely one to afford any tiok,
of a mitigation of this additional calamity. The Earl
of Roden arrived in Dublin on Saturday from a tour in
the counties of Tipperary, Limerick, Kerry, and Cork;
and it is said that his Lordship's report of the condition
of the crop in this wide range of country is of the most
distressing nature.

THE STATE TRIALS.
DUBLIN, Auta. 14.—The Court sat at ten o'clock to-
day, when John Martin was arraigned at the bar,
charged with having published in the Felon newspaper
certain articles of a felonious character, to deprive the
Queen of her style, honour, and title, &c., and levy war
against her Majesty.
Mr. BUTT, Q.C., applied for a copy of the indictment,
which, after a long argument, in which the Attorney-
General and Solicitor-General opposed the motion, was
promised to the Learned Counsel by the Counsel for the
Crown.

THE LATE CASE OF DESERTION.
TO THE BENEVOLENT.

The case of MRS. CAROLINE WELLITON, which appeared in
" The Sun" of Saturday, the 12th instant, under the head of " Marl-
borougb•street Police-office," is earnestly recommended to the notice
of those whom Providence has blessed with the means and disposi-
tion to assist one who is deprived of a home and every earthly com-
fort belonging thereto, by the base conduct of her husband.
' The Magistrate (Mr. Bingham) who heard the case, said, "He
thought if her case were made public, some benevolent individuals
might 4,all'ie forward and assist her. He would give her a sovereign
from the poor-box for a beginning."
This appeal is accordingly made on her behalf to enable her to pur-
chase materials for her business, viz.:—the making of cloaks and
many other useful and ornamental articles of the most beautiful va-
rieties, knitted in Berlin wool, that by her great skill, well-known
ability, and perseverance, she may be raised from the distressing
condition in which she is placed, and be henceforth enabled, under
God's blessing, to maintain herself in that sphere of respectability to
which her worth and talents entitle her to aspire to.
The following Ladies and Gentleman have kindly consented to re-
ceive contributions on her behalf;
Mrs. S. Hayler, No. 22, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square.
Mrs. Montgomery, No. 2, Upper Ebury-street, Pimlico.

army has entered the Roman States for the purpose

MAGAZINES (CONTINUED ).
BANKER'S.

There is a supplement this month, in which a con-
siderable portion of the evidence taken before the
Secret Committee of the House of Commons on the
Commercial Distress and the Bank Charter i.ti given,
and we are promised the conclusion of this inter esting
and most important evidence in another supplement,
to be published next month; which will include that
of the Governor and Deputy-Governor of the Bank
of England, and Messrs. Samuel Jones Loyd, Tooke,
Taylor, and Birkbeck. No person desirous of ac-
quiring information on this, the most important ques-
tion of the present day, should omit to make himself
thoroughly acquainted with this testimony. The
several answers of each witness relating to the same
point are given together under the appropriate head-
ing, which will afford great facility to the inquiring
student. The first paper in the maga.zine itself is a
notice of the report of the Lords' Committee on the
operation of the Bank Charter Act, in which that
able document receives the praise it so justly merits.
" Letters to Branch Managers," the fifth of the series,
is on the subject of overdrawn accounts, the mischief
of which, if permitted as a permanent accommoda-
tion, are forcibly depicted. There are also papers on
" The Preferable Mode of Raising Additional Rail-
way Capital," "The Exchanges with India," " Pacts
and Suggestions respecting Savings Banks," and on
" Banking and Commercial Law." We have also the
usual amount of information on various topics of in-
terest to the mercantile body.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY.
A full average time of year supply of English Wheat
has been received up to our market this week. Still,
however, the show of samples here to-day was by no
means large. Although the demand was not so active
as on Monday. it may be considered steady, at prices
fully equal to those paid o❑ that day. All kinds of
Foreign Wheat, the supply of which was tolerably good,
were in moderate request, and the quotations were well
supported in every instance. Barley, the supply of
which was moderate, moved off freely; but we can notice
no further improvement in value. In Malt, a steady
business was doing, at late rates. Oats were in good
request, at fully the late improvement in value. Beans,
Peas, and all other articles, were quite as dear.

HANOVER.

The Hanoverian Gazete announces that the con,
stitution of that kingdomis signed, and will be pub.

RUSSIA.

On the 2d instant tiere were 92 fresh cases of
cholera, 119 cures, 51 detths, and 1,707 patients still
under treatment in St. letersburgh.
An Imperial ukase, lacier date of the 31st of July,
orders the recruiting of seven men per 1,000 inha-
bitants in the Governments of the eastern moiety of
the empire.

The -EMPEROR was expected at Warsaw, but his
journey has been portp)ned, probably in consequence
of the ravages of the cholera in St. Petersburgh.

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

The Hanoverian Morgenzeitung of the 11th says
—" We learn from a good source that the armistice
with Denmark is so_.A"to tt'wineed that General
Ennmort that for the present he will not require a
further supply of troops."
COPENHAGEN, Aua 9.—The Berlingsche Zeitung
of the 9th states, that throe neutral vessels have ar-
rived at Flensburg, but that the Greenland ships
which were returning to Flensburg have been ordered
to Sonderburg, and adds, for the future no vessel,
without exception, will be permitted to enter the
harbours of the Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein.
Three persons have effected their escape from
Odensee.

The Berlingsche Zeitung demands an explanation
from the Ministry of War relative to General "'EDE..
MANN'S withdrawal from the commander-in-chief;
enters into the necessity of an energetic army of the
people, and recommends the Minister of War to re-
pose the same confidence in the people as they have
in his integrity, judgment, and power of action.
A North American schooner has arrived from New
York. The war steamer Hula and the frigate Bel-
lona have sailed northwards. At Elsinere, a new
Russian ship of the line, and a schooner from Arch-
angel, arrived on the 7th.

. „
FEIIMARN, AUG. 10.—At this moment (three
o'clock, r.m.) two Danish men-of-war are steering
towards this place. Probably, this may be owing to
the present heavy gale.
RENDSBURG, AUG. 11.—The first battalion of
Schleswig-Holstein troops,which arrived here yester-
day, have been joined this morning by the second and
third battalion (the 15th and 16th had arrived pre-
viously) to form the garrison here. The Hanover
troops, as well as the recruits which compose the 7th
and Bth battalion of infantry, and the 2d Jager corps,
had also arrived, and are now to go to Husam and
Eckernforde to be further disciplined.
Our Government has restored to Hanover the two
cannons kept here, which had been taken from the
Hanoverian troops by the Danes in 1813.

Two 24-pounder howitzers and sixty horses arrived
here from Hanover on the 9th, and ware sent over
to the north yesterday.
ALTON..., AUG. 11.—The Frankfort and Weimar
troops arrived here last night, and are quartered in
this city, where at least they will find a little repose.
For several days past larger or smaller transports
of sick and wounded have arrived here, while re-
serves, powder-waggons, train-horses, cannon, &c.,
are constantly passing through to the north.

Notwithstanding the daring announcement con-
tained in some of our Contemporaries, to the effect
that Milan had been fired in eight different quarters
by the populace—half of the city destroyed in the
conflagration—and 50,000 persons rendered destitute
and houseless—the last accounts received from Lom-
bardy breathe not a syllable of the catastrophe, and
are, indeed, rather consolatory than otherwise.
King CHARLES ALBERT still kept his head-quar-
ters at Vigevano. CABALA. and GIOBERTI had ar-
rived in the camp, where they laid before his MA-
JESTY the resignation of the whole of the Turin
Cabinet. MERL°, the Vice-President of the Cham-
ber of Deputies, and the Count Da REVEL, had been
intrusted with the responsibility of forming a new
administration.

On the 9th instant the Austrians are said to have
entered Brescia, which had capitulated on the preced-
ing evening.
The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa of the Orth an-
nounces that a courier had just passed, bearing dis-
patches from CHARLES ALBERT to the Venetians, ad-
vising them to resist, notwithstanding the capitulation
of Milan, which was an inexorable necessity, but that
the war continues.
The Risorgimento of Turin, of the 10th, states
that on the Bth an armistice of three days was signed
between RADETZXY and CHARLES ALBERT for ex-
changing prisoners.
The National Savoisien of the 10th inst. announces
that the Polish General, RomAßno, has been ap-
pointed Lieutenant-General in the Piedmontese
army, and that he is to take the command of the corps
of reserve and' of the volunteers. The Chevalier
ERCOLE RIcoTTr, who had been dispatched to recon-

THE POTATO BLIGHT.

After just forty-eight hours of dry weather, the rain
set in again last night, and this day it has fallen in one
uninterrupted shower, accompanied by a cold ungenial
wind from the north-east. The fact cannot be blinked
that the potato crop is a failure to an enormous extent,
and there is not the shadow of a doubt that there will be
a fearful deficiency before the close of the year in the
staple food of the Irish peasantry. What is to be the
result of another season of famine Providence can alone
foresee. From the accounts from all quarters which
arrived this day, there is scarcely one to afford any hope
of a mitigation of this additional calamity. The Earl
of Roden arrived in Dublin on Saturday from a tour in
the counties of Tipperary, Limerick, Kerry, aNd Cork;
and it is said that his Lordship's report of the condition
of the crop in this wide range of country is of the most
distressing nature.

MOON V. DUNN.

This was an action to recover the amount of a wager,
to which the defendant had pleaded that under the Act
of Parliament passed, in 1845, on the subject of gaming
he was not liable. To this plea the plaintiff demurred.
The COURT gave judgment for the defendant.

SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
JONES V. GIITHRAE.

This was an action against the defendant, as the
acceptor of a bill of exchange, and he pleaded that it had
not been duly indorsed to the plaintiff. The hand-
writing of the indorser was proved, and the Learned
Secondary held that that was sufficient to meet the plea,
although the witness was not present at the indorse-
ment, and would not state whether it was before or after
the bill became due, or for any and what consideration.
The jury gave a verdict for the amount.
This was the only case tried.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
This Court was named in the law notices of to-day to
sit for causes, &c. No sittings, however, took place.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)
LYME REGIS.

The Committee assembled this morning; Lord Ash-
ley in the chair.
Mr. Chanuon Taylor, of Lyme Regis, proved that on
the day of the election, Mr. Abdy, the sitting Member,
accompanied by Mr. Waring, a solicitor, called upon him
to solicit his vote, telling him, at the same time, that if
he had any pecuniary difficulties, they were prepared to
remove them. He was, however, in doubt as to whom
he should vote for, but ultimately he made up his mind
to vote for Sir Fitzroy Kelly, but he had since ascer-
tained that he would have been much better off had he
voted for Mr. Abdy.

Mr. Robert, Mayor of Lyme Regis, proved that Mr.
Waring, the gentleman alluded to by the previous wit-
ness, payed Mr. Abdy's share of the legal election
expenses.

Notwithstanding the supply of Beasts on sale in ot:r
market of to-day was seasonably extensive, both as
respects number and quality, the Beef trade, arising
from an increased attendance of buyers, and the
favourable change in the weather, was firm, at fully—
but at nothing quotable beyond—the prices paid on
Monday fast. With Foreign stock, we were again very
scantily supplied, viz., 112 Oxen and Ce Ns, together with
17 Calves. There were very few English Sheep on
oiler ; hence the Mutton trade was steady, and the
late advance in the quotations was well supported.
Calves moved off steadily, at late rates. Prime small
Porkers were in good request; otherwise the Pork trade
was slow. Mitch Cows sold at from 141 to 171 each, in-
cluding their small Calf.

TYNE FERRY BOAT COMPANY V. BARKER.

This was an action of trespass for infringing the
rights of the plaintiffs by carrying passengers between
North and South Shields. The declaration alleged that
the plaintiffs originally purchased the right of ferrying
between those two places from the Dean and Chapter of
Durham, but the defendant demurred on the ground
that the declaration did not correctly describe the ferry,
and pleaded that this ferry ought to be treated as a
common highway. Since then a rule had been obtained
calling upon the plaintiffs to show cause why a verdict
should not be entered on both counts of the declaration.

The COURT decided that the rule ought to be dis-
charged on the first count and made absolute to enter a
verdict for the defendant on the second count.

that both contained fig seeds. It will be recollected that
the deceased had eaten figs for breakfast, and that undi-
gested figs were found in her stomach. After the medical
eviience, one of the monks, Brother Law ien, was called
to prove that the mat ks found on the garden wall had not
been noticed before the time of the murder, but the
witness attempted in the moat extraordinrry manner to
,creen the prisoner. He was severely reprimanded by
the President, and the case was again adjourned.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.

It is a long time since the walls of this theatre
were crowded as they were last night to witness the
performance of Mr. G. Brooke, as Richard 111,
The crowd, in fact, was such as nevet shuuld have
been admitted.

It is really refreshing to see some excitement in
the theatrical world in favour of a high performer of
our old school of tragedy. Mr. Brooke has now
fixed his position as a❑ actor; and it only remains
for him to du ..his part in keeping up the interest
which he has begot. Not that his performance last
night was by any means faultless. In the first place,
in the hypocritical passages ho wore the mask so
that none could have mistaken it for anything► but a
mask. Ncne could have been deceived by LO pal-
pable a villain in disguise, and the probability of
the story is impaired, besides the truthfulnrss of
th.t acting. Than again lli,:hard in his first scenes
—a villain simply from profound di,conte_rt xtith
the world and with himself, coupled with ambitious
promptings arising mainly out of such discontent—
should have been somewhat different from Richard
in his last scenes—thwarted in his purp-ises, excited
by individual hatred, and by all the madness of re-
venge. To give the first villanies all the intensity of
the last, is to diminish the effect of the force of cir-
cumstances, as they deepen the shadows of the cha-
racter. In the first part more peevishness and less
intensity should be gin to Richard's hatred of the
world, to give full effect to that hatred at the close.
When, however, the circumstances of the plot de-
manded the exhibition of the hatred in all its fierce-
ness, Mr. Brooke was truly magnificent, especially in
his under-tones, which gave all the concentration of
which ferocity is capable. It was impossible that
some remembrance of former actors should not he
awakened—it would even have been reprehensible
had it been otherwise—but there was much whieh
Mr. Brooke made altogether his own, without vio-
lating truth. 'Where all was so excellent, we will
not particularise passages, but content ourselves with
congratulating the public on the acquisition of a per-
former in a line where such a performer was so much
wanted. Miss May made a good Lady Anne, and
the other parts were well supported.

A very important Scotch case was yesterday dis-
posed of in the House of Lords. All unpaid or dis-
honoured bills in Scotland are, upon being protested,
regiAered in a public record, and immediate execution
at once issues against the property and persons of the
several parties to the bill, precisely as it the holder had
obtained a verdict against them. Several persons who

question. The newspaper publisher appealed, and Lord

eight Judges, and concurred in opinion with the four,
making at the same time several valuable remarks on the
rights of the press. It is, however,

MOON V. DUNN.

This was an action to recover the amount of a wager,
to which the defendant had pleaded that under the Act
of Parliament passed, in 1845, on the subject of gaming
he was not liable. To this plea the plaintiff demurred.
The COURT gave judgment for the defendant.

SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
JONES P. GUTHRAE.

This was an action against the defendant, as the
acceptor of a bill of exchange, and he pleaded that it had
not been duly indorsed to the plaintiff. The hand-
writing of the indorser was proved, and the Learned
Secondary held that that was sufficient to meet the plea,
although the witness was not present at the indorse-
ment, and would not state whether it was before or after
the bill became due, or for any and what consideration.
The jury gave a verdict for the amount.
This was the only case tried.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
This Court was named in the law notices of to-day to

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)
LYME REGIS.

The Committee assembled this morning; Lord Ash-
ley in the chair.
Mr. Channon Taylor, of Lyme Regis, proved that on
the day of the election, Mr. Abdy, the sitting Member,
accompanied by Mr. Waring, a solicitor, called upon him
to solicit his vote, telling him, at the same time, that if
he had any pecuniary difficulties, they were prepared to
remove them. Ho was, however, in doubt as to whom
he should vote for, but ultimately ho made up his mind
to vote for Sir Fitzroy Kelly, but he had since ascer-
tained that he would have been much better off had he
voted for Mr. Abdy.

Mr. Robert, Mayor of Lyme Regis, proved that Mr.
Waring, the gentleman alluded to by the previous wit•
ness, payed Mr. Abay's share of the legal election
expenses.
