KILKENNY ASSIZES, JULY 19.

( Fro►n the Dublin Morning Register of Saturdiy.)
THE CARRICKSHOCK AFFAIR.

The Assizes commenced here this day, and at
rt-e hour I now write (eleven o'clock,a.m.) the dis-
play of military, horse and foot, and of police force,
parading the streets, has a formidable appearance
iieleed. As for the police, the whole county, with
the adjacent parts, appears to have been emptied
of all its disposable force, in order still further to
awt-ll the array. In short, the place wears all the
m hlance of a town preparing for a long siege, and
'irking every precaution for a vigorous defence. As
the people, the attendance, on their part, is tole-
•ably numerous; hut, under the peculiar circum-
,iances connected with the case, by no means to an
•xtraordinary amount. The Judges (Baron Foster
id Mr. Justice Torrens) have been here during
e entire of yekterday. The Attorney-General and
Sr jeent Pennefather have just arrived. Mr. R. W.
t;ieen, K.C. is also here on behalf of the Crown.
No words can describe the anxiety and fptoe of
i..pectation evinced by the friends of the prisoners,
old indeed by the people in general, for the arrival
of Mr. O'Connell. All is "on the watch" for his
c.aning, but up to the present the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman has not arrived. The greatest regularity
old good order prevails in every part of the town...
At ten minutes past four o'clock, Baron FOSTER
uttered the County Court, and proclamation having
aen made, his Lordship charged the Jury as fol-
,we Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, the state
f the calendar but too plainly evinces that a syste-
natic combination, for the purpose of outrage, and
'pposition to the laws, prevails in this county at pre-
um% Arid, gentlemen, it is a probl, m which still
;•emains to be solved, whether the constituted law
.1 the United Kingdom, or a rival code, enacted by
ten at war with that constituted law, shall prevail.
['he state of crime in the county Ktlkenny seems to
ne to be very different in its object and
character from the state of crime in other counties.
Iti the calendar we find five charges of larceny of
,I.:fferent descriptions, eight of hott‘e-breaking, and
thirteen of burglary; but, gentlemen, the twenty-
,rne that constitute these two last classes of offence
against the laws, appear further to be connected
with the offence of Whiteboyism;' but, gentle-
men, that is not all—as we descend in the list
.f the series of offences on the calendar of your
county, we find no less than 25 individuals charged
with murder, the highest crime in the catalogue of
human outrage. Of this number 18 were charged
is parties in the melancholy catastrophe of Carrick-
shock, and the other seven are charged with
This offence at different places; but, gentlemen, this
:till is not all, for there have been murders committed
in this, your county, for which no accusation
.vhatever has been brought forward against any indi-
vidual ; and allow me to observe on this, that, in
my opinion, theabsence of accusation, under such
circumstances, speaks worse, by far, the general cha-
,acter of the- state of the county, than even
do, perhaps, the indictments that may be preferred
in the case of the others, because it evinces that
however strong the desire might exist in the human
mind to bring offenders of this kind to justice, still
intimidation was found to prevail over every such
aatural feeling or desire. Of the eighteen persons
charged with the outrage at Carrickshock, bills had
been found by a former grand jury against ten, and,
I understand, gentlemen, that in the case of the
other eight, bills will, with as little delay as possible,
re laid before you. I have no observations upon
the law of homicide with which I think it necessary
to occupy your time; but unfortunately, these mur-
ders have taken place in a most horrible form.
What I would caution you against is not to allow
hat natural feeling of horror which they were so
calculated to impress, to interfere with any conclu-
sion you may come to as to whether the parties
charged be guilty or net. You should use the
utmost caution in considering every circumstance
that may come before you. This becomes the more
necessary to remark, as in so great a crowd, some
might, perhaps, be mistaken as to identity.
Some witnesses were then sworn, to be sent
before the jury, and the Court adjourned to the next
morning.

On his route to Kew, on Thursday last, the
KING changed horses at the Bleck Dog, at Bedfont, at
which place his MAJESTY was most loyaly received by the
inhabitants, who testifi.-d their joy by the ringing of bells
and firing of cannon.— Windsor Express.

Despatches were received this morning at the
Colonial-office from St. Lucia.

LOLD ALTHORP.—At a meeting at Nor-
thampton of the friends and admirers of the Noble Lod,
they came to the resolution of erecting a statue in bronze,
by subscription, to testify the high sense entertained of
this great man.—Northampton Free Press.

DINNER TO MARCUS COSTELLO, ESQ.--
4r. COSTELLO was entertained at a public dinner yester-
,ley evening, at the Aren., which was fitted up for the
occasion with much taste and neatness. There was a very
numerous attendance, comprising a great portion of the
Trades' Union, and several gentlemen who are not mem-
bers of that patriotic and valuable body. Thomas
STEELE, Esq., presided.—Dublin Morning Register of
Friday. _ _

ALDERMAN THOMPSON.--This " bright
particular star" has become a wanderer. He dare not
!gain ask to become one of the representatives of Lon-
ion,—the cockneys know him, and will trust him no
more. On discovering this important secret, he posted
,ff an address to the new el cti rs of Kendal, and claimed
to become their first representative, because he had learnt
to make his pot-hooks and hangers within their borough.
fhe electors of Kendal rejected him with scorn. The
Alderman, having been refused admittance to Kendal, is
now wooing the electors of Sunderland and the Wear-
mouths, and is holding out large promises of what he
can and will do for the shipping and colonial interests, if
the Sunderlandites will only return him to Parliament.
We trust they have more sense, and that they will show it
by rejecting him and returning some real'y u eful roan,
oho has t .e sense to know his own mind for at least one
day at a time.— Carlisle Journal.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, FRIDAY,
JULY 20.—With the exception of flour, the supplies from
Ireland since Tuesday have beeen small. About 4,000
quarters of wheat have arrived from Canada. There was
a thin attendance of dealers at this day's market, which,
with the continuance of fine weather, prevented any ex-
-ensive business being done, as the dealers will not pur-

market bore an excessively dull appearance. The finest
