AND.

DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING.
THE ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE REV. MR. NIXOX.,

A numerously attended meeting of magistrates,
landed proprietors, and gentlemen connected with
the county Donegal was held on Saturday at
Letterkenny for the purpose of devising means
for bringing to justice the miscreants who at-
tempted to assassinate the Rev. Mr. Nixon.
The meeting was considered private, and the
only part of the proceedings published is the
fact that a reward of £5OO was agreed to be
offered for the conviction of the perpetrators of this
foul outrage. Amongst those present were Lord
George Hill, Lord Lifford, Sir James Stewart,
Bart. ; Sir Edmond S. Hayes, Bart., M.P. ; Sir
Robert Ferguson, Bart., M.P., and thirty other
magistrates of the county. A private letter, dated
from Heathfield on Sunday last, says :—" The
Rev. Mr. Nixon is progressing most favourably,
and the doctors have pronounced him almost
out of danger. He cannot of course be moved for
some time. The doctors are most attentive and
kind. One of them remains in the house.
The poor sufferer cannot speak, his tongue is so
injured by a slug having gone through it. One of
the bullets lodged in the bonnet of his daughter,
who was with him at the time of the attack."
The Daily Express, commenting upon the meet-
ing held on Saturday, observes :—" Not a scintilla
of evidence was forthcoming, nor was any
other
step taken to produce it on a future occasion (save
the raward lamed of £500). It appears to
us strange that after all the experience we
have had in Ireland of this sort of agrarian
Red Indianism the gentry of the disorganised dis-
tricts have hit upon no strictly legal plan of
thwarting the brute cunning and ferocity of the
country savage. Surely it would be easy for the
unmarried young men of the higher classes in such
neighbourhoods as that of Gweedore to concert and
carry into practice such measures as would cause
the blood to curdle in the churl veins of such
cowards as could attempt to assassinate an elderly
and unarmed man at the very side of his wife and
daughter. Can no society be formed in Donegal
which, while it rendered agrarian outrage impos-
sible, would be free from ojections usually urged
against Orangeism ?"

M4KECIINIE V. M4KECHNIE.

• Mr. M'Queen made an application to the Court to fix
the mode in which this case could be heard. It was a notice
for the dissolution of a Scotch marriage, which took place
between the parties in Ayrshire in 1842. After the parties
had resided in that part of the country seven years,
M'Kechnie and his wife went to Birkenhead where the wife
met with a man named Menzies, with whom she eloped.
The proper notices had been served, but no answer had been
put in, and he now wished the Court to fix the way in
which the case world be taken. The mother and relatives
of one of the principal parties resided in Ayrshire, and they
had the greatest aversion to visit London. He trusted the
Court would decide to proceed by affidavit.
The Learned Judge said the case must be heard by oral
evidence.

Mr. M'Queen contended that the 46th section of the act
was applicable to this case.

The Learned Judge said the present application was to
fix the mode of hearing the case, and the order of the Court
was that it be heard by oral evidence.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before the Senior Commissioner.)

IN RE M'QILL.

This bankrupt was desei ;bed as a builder, of Great
Coram-street, and to-day came up to pass bis examination
on accounts prepared by Messrs Hart Brothers. The
details have already been published, and the bankrupt
passed. A question, however, arose on a debt of between
£7,000 and £B,OOO, alleged to be due from Mr. Bowles
who, however, claimed a balance in his favour, but had not
complied with an order of the Court for him to furnish an
account within a week ; and, two months having elapsed,
a summons was granted calling upon him to do so—that,
in the event of the investigation by the official assignee
justifying it, proc!edings at law might be taken.
The summons was granted.
London, England, 1858-11-04

BOROTJGR BANK.

The Attorney-General moved on the part of the defendant,
the manager of the Liverpool Borough Bank, for a rule
calling upon the plaintiffs to show cause why the verdict
should not be set aside, and a new trial granted, on the
ground that the verdict was against the evidence.
The trial took place at the Liverpool Assizes before Mr.
Baron Martin, the action being brought by the plaintiffs
against the defendant, as manager of the bank, "to recover
back their deposits, they having been induced to become
shareholders on the faith and truth of a report bearing the
name of Mr. Dixon, and representing that the bank was in
a flourishing condition, whereas it was alleged that the de-
fendant knew at the time the bank was insolvent. The jury
found a verdict for the plaintiffs. The facts, which were
fully reported in The Sun when the case was tried at Liver-
pool, bore a great similarity to those of the Royal British
Bank.

The learned. Atkornay-General (liven at some length upon
the point as to whether a director was liable for all the con-
sequences that might be occasioned by a certain report bear-
ing his signature becoming known.

Lord Campbell said if at the time he signed the report he
believed it was a true statement, he was not liable.

The Attorney-General said the report signed by Mr.
Dixon was only for the shareholders.

Lord Campbell said that might be so, but it was also in-
tended for the public. The learned Attorney-General,
however, had stated sufficient for the Court to grant him a
rule nisi on all points asked fur.

STATE OF TRADE.

LEICESTER, Nov. 3d.—The hosiery trade is still
in a healthy condition, and a fair business is trans-
acting at the warehouses. Confidence appears to
be perfectly restored, and most branches of the
trade are in a satisfactory state. Material continues
high in price, without any sign of diminution.
NOTTINGHAM, 3d.—The lace trade remains in
very dull state, and manufactures do not look for
any material change until after Christmas. There
is very little doing in the warehouses, most branches
partaking of the depression. Manufacturers are
prudently abstaining from purchasing stock. Tho
hosiery trade is still buoyant, both as respects the
shipping and home departments, and prospects of a
continuance are cheering. All good workmen aro
fully employed. Material (both milk and cotton)
remains firm.
MANCHESTER, 2d.—More favourable advices as
to the new cotton crop, which some estimates carry
as high as 3,700,000 bales, have had the effect of
inducing buyers to withhold orders for cloth this
morning. At the same time less favourable reports
of trade from Calcutta have had a depressing effect
on business hero this morning, and sellers have
made a concession equal to about 10. per piece on
longeloths, T cloths, shirtings, and other fabrics.
A decline of id, per lb. on yarns, and which is
general on all kinds, has led to a fair business, the
principal. purchases being for China and Germany.
For the home trade very little has been done.
There have beenl,some moderate secs of cloth as well
as yarn, but the market, on the whole, is reported
to be ii4t.
London, England, 1858-11-04

MILLS T. MILLS.

This was an application to the Court to fix the mode in
which this case would be 'taken. The learned counsel
wished it to be taken by affidavit, without a jury.. The
petitioner prayed for a separation on the ground of
adultery and cruelty. The majority of the witnesses were
resident in France, and it was prayed that the Court would
direct a commission to issue, authorising the examination
of the said witnesses in that country.
The Learned Judge said the present application was to
fix the mode of hearing the trial, and he thought it ought
to be by oral evidence. The application for a commission
must be made on another occasion specially.

M'KECHNIE V. M'KECHNIE.

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin of the Ist says :—" The
Prince of Hohenzollern Sigmaringen, who is a re-
lative of the royal family and a general in the army,
has arrived here from Switzerland, in obedience to
a summons of the Prince Regent, and it is believed
that he has been entrusted with the formation of a
new Cabinet. The Prince belongs to the Liberal
party. M. de Sehleinitz, who was formerly Mini-
ster of Foreign Affairs, has also arrived here, and
it is said that he likewise has been summoned by
the T:074 ,-,p. Regent. He, too, belongs to the

ANOTHER ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.

We are enabled to announce to-day that a com-
pany is in course of formation, to be called " The
British and Canadian Submarine Telegraph Com-
pany (Limited)," the object of which will be to con-
nect the most important British North American
colonies with Great Britain by electric telegraph,
commencing with that portion of the line between
Galway and Quebec, and extending it onwards to
the pacific as soon as may be deemed expedient.
The company propose that the first section shall
commence here, cross the Atlantic to the Straits of
Belle Isle, and follow the course of the river St.
Lawrence to Quebec. The wire to be used will be
of a totally different nature and construction
from any hitherto employed, and the whole
arrangements will be such as to secure
its being successfully laid. The advantages that
must attend the establishment of the line, being, as
it will, independent of any foreign power in the
event of war, cannot be too highly rated, and the
communication with New York and other parts of
the United States via Quebec, will make but a few
seconds difference between this and the unfortunate
line now lying inert in the Atlantic, supposing it
were in operation. It is also to be borne in mind
that Quebec is already in telegraphic communica-
tion with the whole of our North American colo-
nies as well as the States. From improvements al-
ready made known in the mode of constructing and
laying submarine telegraphs, together with most im-
portant ones introduced by the company's engineer
(whose experience has. extended over many years,
both in this country and America), it is estimated
that, with a capital of £750,000, a telegraph, con-
taining six to nine conductors, can be constructed
and laid down from Galway to Quebec, including
and in twenty
all expenses. The probable return upon this outlay
of £750,000 may be calculated as follows :—At the

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

CAUTION TO LADIES.—PIbKPOCKETS IN REGENT-
STREET.—Henry Connelly, William Sutton, and John
Murphy, three boys, were charged with attempting to pick
pockets in Regent-street.

Police-constable 80 C said that on the previous afternoon
a large crowd was assembled round the window of Messrs.
Nicoll's, the clothiers, viewing the state liveries of the Lord
Mayor, and his attention was attracted to the prisor..ers,
who were very busily employed in trying the pocket of a
lady—Connelly operating and the others covering him.
After leaving her they went up to another female, when
Murphy put his hand into her pocket, the others being close
behind at the time. Connelly then left the crowd and
walked to the kerb, and looked up and down, but on seeing
him coming with a constable in uniform, he himself being
in plain clothes, he said to his companions " Cheese it," and
they all started off

Edward Webb, one of the Mendicity Society's officers,
said that a week ago he saw the prisoners Murphy and Con-
nelly follow a gentleman in George-street, and on his asking
if he had lost anything he at first said he had not, but after-
wards came back and said he had lost his handkerchief. Ho
saw something in Murphy's hand.

In answer to Mr. Bingham, Murphy said " he lived no-
where ; his sister gave him something now and then when
he met her.". The others had no defence to make.

It might eject Lord DERBY and yet decide nothing
for_ the future. When the country had pronounced
diafit would not haTe Lord DERBY'S bill, it would
tiof have pronounced definitely what it would have.
A year would probably be saved in the passing of
the Bill, if two were sent down to the electors for
their approbation. 'We find fault with continen-
tals for-looking to Government for everything ; but
our folly is equally great if we look to one Cabinet,
necessarily aristocratic, for a Reforth Bill which
shall do full justice to the people. The people
must do their own work if it is to be well done.
