DUBLIN, THURSDAY EVENING.
MARRIAGE OF TIIE LORD LIEUIiU
The nuptials of Lord Eglinton and Lady Adela
Capel were celebrated yesterday by special license
at the-Viceregal-lodge-in the park.- The-affianced
bride arrivetl:on Tuesday night at Kingstown from
Holyhead, accompanied by her father, Earl of Essex,
and her brother, the lion. R. Capel, and proceeded
to the Royal Hotel, where they remained until 12
&clock yesterday, when they took their departure
for the 'Viceregal-lodge in one of his Excellency's
carriages, drawn by four horses, with outriders, and
arrived at their destination shortly after 1 o'clock.
The marriage ceremony, which was strictly private,
was celebrated by the Ven. Archdeacon could, as-
sisted by the Very Rev. the Dean of the. Chapel
Royal: The noble bride and bridegroom remain at
the Viceregal lodge. As the honeymoon is to be
kept at the Viceregal-lodge, the aides-de-camp and
other officers of the household. have received leave

of absence.
THE LATE ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINATION.
-The Derry Journal, received this morning, says:
" We have learned that Mr. Nixon has been pro-
noußced out of danger, although at one time fears
were entertained that the wound would cause mor-
tification. Drs. Eames and Brady continue in atten-
dance on the patient.. No effort is being spared to
hunt up the intending assassins. Mr. Cruise, R.M.,
and some hundred additional constabulary are
still in the • district where -the attempt was
made. This police force is supplementary of the
constabulary previously stationed there. We believe
that several arrests have been effected, but whether
the evidence against the parties be slight or grave,
it is impossible even to surmise. There was a
. .

rumour in this city on Monday that a person had
turned Queen's evidence against his fellows. No
confirmation of this is to be- obtained. Several

strange reports are prevalent in connection _witli
this barbarous attempt at murder. They are hardly.
worthy of notice. For instance, we need not con-
ceal the existence -of a rumour which assigns the
murder to causes totally different from agrarian
discontent, and gives reasons for such a view ; but
it is not our province to go further in the way of
explanation. Indeed, until the, result of the magis-
terial examination transpires, speculation is worse
than useless. The narrative of the affair which ap-
peared in last...Totowa' I related all the material cir-
ciiinstances of the attack correctly. Mrs. Nixon's
state of health was such as to render the fright she
experienced more than ordinarily distressing." The
correspondent of- Saunders's News Letter, writing
from the neighbourhood -of the outrage, states
that there, is a report current that the Riband
fraternity aredetermined to shoot every one who
was summoned to. London and gave:evidence which
so fully exposed the falsehood of the priests' ap-
peal. There was no notice given to Mr. Nixon
_Which might have put him on his guard. His mur-
der was fixed, and nothing less would do. His 'car-
riage is a low four-Wheeled-one, with glass doors,
glass sides to the seat next the horse, and glass front.;

THE ALLEGED DESERTER TO THE RUSSIANS.—
Private Thomas Toole, 7th Royal Fusiliers, appeared last
week in the general court-martial room, at Chatham, to
take his trial on a charge of deserting to the enemy when he
was before Sebastopol, about the 14th Jan., 1855. From
some cause, which did not transpire, the prisoner was no
tried. It is understood that there is no evidence to prove
that the man deserted at all. It can be proved that he left
fie camp, which was on the right attack, in front of the
redoubt, one morning between 9 and 10 o'clock, about the
14th or 15th of Jan., 18,55, with a comrade of the name of
Moore, for the purpose of getting fuel to cook with, and
they proceeded to the ravine under the heights of Inker-
menu, and neither of them came back again ; but they were

with the Reasons why they so often appear Incurable, and
thus afford a pretext for the recourse to dangerous operatiols,
like that of Perinmal Section, or External Incision. With
cases in illustration, amongst which will be found many show-
ing that this operation does not afford Permanent Relief, and
that its asserted freedom from danger has too often proved to
be a fatal delusion.

THE NA VY.

Yesterday a telegraphic despatch was received at
the Admiralty, under date Madrid, Nov. 2, an-
nouncing the arrival of the screw frigate Euryalus,
51, Captain J. W. Tarleton, C. 8., with Prince
Alfred on board, at Ferrol.
The Erebus, 16-gun iron steam battery, which
has been fired at from the Snapper gunboat, to test
the effect of shot at 400 yards' range (three of which
penetrated her side last week and did so much da-
mage that a screen has been hung over the holes
to prevent the " eye of prying curiosity" from
knowing too much about it), is to be withdrawn
from her position in the line of fire from the
Excellent, and moored up at Portsmouth harbour,
and the Meteor, 14-gun steam battery, of 150-horse
power, is to take her place for further experiments.
The Meteor, we believe, has wooden bulwarks, the
supposed impenetrable iron plating being affixed
thereon. The Erebus, we believe, was iron-built
entirely, and although the 32-pound shot did not
do the damage of the 68's, they did enough to show
such a bulging internally, from the indentation
they made externally as led to the belief that they
would ultimately penetrate if concentrated.
Yesterday intelligence was received that the
steam transport Medway, with a company of Ar-
tillery on board, from Woolwich to Ceylon, hadput
into Pernambuco, all well, on the sth October.

The Agamemnon, 91, screw two-decker, was
taken into dock at Portsmouth yesterday for repairs.
The Vulcan, 6, iron screw troopship, which
broke her main shaft on - her last passage from the
Mediterranean, was taken out of dock and into the
steam basin at Portsmouth yesterday, to make room
for the Urgent, 6, screw troopship, Commander
M'Donald, in order to ascertain the damage done
to the latter by her grounding off Chichester on
on Monday night last.
The Committee of Investigation on Dockyard
Economy, consisting of Rear-Admiral Robt. Small,
K.H. and C. 8., Mr. R. Lowe, Mr. H. Chatfield,
and Mr. A. Murray, having completed their inves-
tigation at Sheerness, proceed to Portsmouth and
the other Royal dockyards to carry on the inquiry
previous to sending in their report to the Admiralty.
Lieut. Leveson Wildman, commanding her Ma-
jesty's gunboat Staunch, who recently performed,
very gallant services in capturing two Chinese
piratical junks, has been promoted to the rank of
Commander.

day at the Admiralty :

vice Hewett promoted.

New mustard and new tares command the extreme rates of last
week. Linseed cakes are firm, and rape cakes have advanced ss.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTILE.-
It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article
of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity
is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, and ,has puzzled
many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet
when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our
wonder willcease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating
that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried
all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain.
He then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was
wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, awl in the course of a few
weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late
agricultural show at Birmingham, Cardiff, &0., the animals which
carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thorley's
food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced
to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own in-
trinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from
the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All
parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77,

RAILWAY AND CANAL LEGISLATION.

The report of the select committee appointed to inquire
into the best mode of securing the public intere,ts, and di-
tninisbing Parliamentary expenses in reference to railway
and canal legislation, has just been printed. The recom-
mendations of the committee are as follow :

"1. That all railway and canal bills be deposited at the
Private Bill-office and at the Board of Trade on or before
the 23d of December, previous to the next session of Parlia-
ment.

"2. That the examiners of petitions for private bills com-
mence their sittings on the 18th of January, and that they
be directed by Mr. Speaker to make such arrangemext for
the examination of petitions as shall facilitate the introduc-
tion of private bills at as early a period as possible in each
session.

":3. That compliance with the standing orders of both
houses, except the Wharncliffe order, be proved before the
intrduction of a railway bill into Parliament.
" 4. That an early day be fixed at the commencement of
each session, after which no railway bill shall be read a
second time without the express sanction of the house.
" 5. That the panel of chairmen of committees on rail-
way and canal bills should be reduced to the smallest num-
ber consistent with the proper transaction of the business
of the session, such number, if possible, not to exceed fire.
"6. That it would tend to shorten the labours of com-
mittees, and diminish the expense of inquiries before them,
if they continued their sittings not less than five hours each
day. -
. .

"7. That it is desirable that arrangements be made for a
portion of the private business of each session being com-
menced in the House of Lords.
"8. That, with a view to promote such an arrangement,
it is desirable that the House of Commons should not insist
on its privileges as regards money clauses in private bills,
when such clauses relate to tolls and charges for services
performed, and are not in the- nature of a tax.
"9. That, with the same view, eomnaittees of the House
of Commons should have the power of examining witnesses
on oath.
" 10. That the standing orders relating to sukicription
contracts be repealed.
"11. That evidence taken before committees of the House
of Lords on private bills be received by committees of the
House of Consinons under the same regulations which have
heretofore been in force in committees on divorce bills.
" 12. That the form annexed to the standing orders with
regard to notices to laadowners and occupiers be altered so
as to avoid the necessity of sending 'with the notice a de-
scription of the plan and section."

and canal legislation, has just been printed. The recom-
mendations of the committee are as follow :

"1. That all railway and canal bills be deposited at the
Private Bill-office and at the Board of Trade on or before
the 23d of December, previous to the next session of Parlia-
ment.
"2. That the examiners of petitions for private bills com-
merce their sittings on the 18th of January, and that they
be directed by Mr. Speaker to make such arrangement for
the examination of petitions as shall facilitate the introduc-
tion of private bills at as early a period as possible is each
session.
‘" 3. That compliance with the standing orders of both
houses, except the Wharncliffe order. be proved before the
intrduction of a railway bill into Parliament.
" 4. That an early day be fixed at the cotnmencenaent of
each session, after which no railway bill shall be reed a
second time without the express sanction of the house.
" 5. That the panel of chairmen of committees on rail-
way and canal bills should be reduced to the smallest num-
ber consistent with the proper transaction of the business
of the ses4on, such number, if possible, not to exceed five.
"G. That it would tend to shorten the labours of com-
mittees, and diminish the expense of inquiries before them,
if they continued their sittings not less than five hours each
day.
"7. That it Is desirable that arrangements he made for a
portion of the private business of each session being com-
menced in the House of Lords.
"8. That, with a view to promote such an arrangement,
it Is desirable that the house of Commons should not insist
on its privileges as regards money clauses in private bills,
n. hen such clauses relate to tolls and charges for services
performed, and are not in the oa'ure of a tax.
9. That, with the same view, comtnit,et s cf the lionse
of Commons should have the power of examining witnesses
on oath.
"10. That the standing orders relating to subscription
u.-iptracts be repealed.
ttii, That evidence talon before committees of the House
of Lords on private bills be received by c ;mtnittees of the
HonFp of Commons under the same regulations which have
baretpfnre beta in force in committees on divorce bills.
PZ. That the form annexed to the standing orders with
toss tices to landowners and occupiers be altered so
regar..4
n. to avothe necessity of sending with the notice a de_
svo-i.vlpu of the plan and section."

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

To-day's market was extensively supplied with each k'nd of
foreign stock, but its general quality was very infeiior. Corse-
quently, prices aro low.
We received a fair supply of beasts fresh up this morning from
our own g:azing district-,; neverthelcss, the demand for most breeds
ruled steady, and in most transactions pric—i were 2d per Sibs
higher than on this day se'nnight. The pl.mest Scots sold without
difficulty, at 4s Sd per sibs, and the general quality of the stock was
good.

The arrivrls f•om Lincolnshi•e, LeicestersFlre, and Northamp-
honshire amounted to 2,500 short hot as; ~.2om other parts of Eng-
!awl, 400 of various breeds; from Scotland, 20 Scots; and from Ire-
land 380 oxen, &c. _ _ _

There was a fair averse time of year supply of sheep on offer ;
but it- quality was by no means first rate. Prime downs we:e in
fair request, at fu'l quotations, but ri' other breeds moved off
slowly, at br rely stationr-y
The supply of lambs was tolerably good, and the trade ruled
way inactive. In the quotations, however, no change took place.
Although the supply of calves was only moderate, the veal trade
was in a sluggish state, and p :ces gave way 2d per Sibs.
Pigs, the show of which was good, sold slowly, at last week's
currency.

THE ATLANTIC CABLE.

The following interesting despatch appears in this even-
ing's papers :

" VALENTIA, Saturday Evening.
" Communications from the staff in Newfoundland rela-
tive to the adjustment and working of the instruments con-
tinue to be hourly received at this stution, and with that
accuracy which is nothing less than marvellous.
" No commercial regular messages have as yet, we under-
stand, passed along the line, the privilege of the opening
message having been reserved for her Majesty, the know-
ledge of whose warm interest in the success of the undertak-
ing has prompted this graceful homage to our Queen on the
part of the directors of the company.
" It is, we are told, hourly expected that this royal open-
ing of the line will take place, and that it will speedily be
followed by a response from America in the shape of a reply
from the President to the Queen's message, shortly after
which, we hear, it is probable that the line will be opened
to the public."
London, England, 1858-08-16

MID-KENT.

The report of the directors of this company states that the
gross receipts earned upon the line during the past half-
year amount to £2,831, showing an increase of £766 as com-
pared with the corresponding period of last year. The com-
pany's net proportiva of the above will amount to £1,715.
From this sum must be deducted the expenses of manage-
ment and the debenture interest, amounting together to
£698 ; and leaving, with £165, the amount brow ;at from last
year, a balance of £1,248, out of which the directors recom-
mend;a dividend of 11 per cent. for the half-year, leaving g 5,2
for next account. The traffic on the line has steadily impr,veel,
and since the opening of the St. Mary Cray Railway to
Bromley and S4uthborough-road, en the Ist of July, it has
shown such a marked increase, that a considerably higher
rate of dividend may he anticipated for the next half-year.
Under the arrangement with the Brighton Company it is
intended to construct a shot t line from the West-end of Lon-
don and Crystal Palace Company's Extension, near Penge.
to the Brighton line at Notwood Station, and to form the
western junction of the Mid-Kent line with the West-end
line at Beckenham. Direct access will thus be given from
all places on the North Kent Railway to Croydon and other
stations on the Brighton Company's system, which will un-
doubtedly brieg a large accession of traffic to the Mid-Kent
line. After the close of this year the arrangement for main-
tenance by the South-Eastern Company comes into effect.
The capital account to the 30th of June last showed that
£96,111 bad been received, and £94,264 expended, leaving
a balance of £1,847.

GWEEDORE DESTITUTION.

The Donegal farce has just arrived at a fitting climax.
The ghostly dispensers of the money subscribed to relieve
" the destitute " have restored to Mr. Bagwell, M.P., a
Di note which be gave before the Parliamentary inquiry.
Of course, after the decision of the committee, in which he
concurred, their reverences were too conscientious to keep
his money. At first it might be thought, says an Irish
journal, that the committee, in sending back the subscrip-
tion, were desirous of acknowledging themselves duped, and
were willing to make full reparation. It is not so, however,
the restored note was designed merely to testify the com-
mittee's disapprobation of the part taken by Mr. Bagwell
in pressing for a Parliamentary inquiry into the allegations
of distress, and of his having united in returning a true ver-
dict according to the evidence adduced befere the tribunal.

ANTWERP BOURSE.—The destruction of the Ex-
change at Antwerp by fire has been less commented on than
it deserves, for the huil ling was of interest for its archi-
tecture and associations. Although its columns, each of
varied pattern, were not imitated, yet its cloistered square
gave an example to Gresham's Royal Exchange and its
success ors, and to many a Bourse and Bolsa in Europe and
America. It was one of the many shrines of pilgrimage in
that city of art, and many is the architect arid tourist who
will regret its loss. It was more fortunate than its London
offspring., for it had withstood many a peril by siege and
fire. It will now become a question whether a thorough
restoration is to take place, or a new building is to be con-
4ructvd of pion pretension.—Atildfng New.
