accounts of popular rejoicings for the liberation of Mr.
O'Connell. They are generally of the same character as
the previous reports. We select the following, from the
Galway Vindicator, on account of the interference of the
magistrates, and the very peaceable conduct of the people
in the wild districts of Connemara:—
" CLUDEN.—A large quantity of turf was collected
from all quarters. The hulls of two large boats were
destined to commemorate the occasion—they formed
part of a really monster bonfire upon the hill above the
church, which was visible beyond the Killery mountains.
Mr. D'Arcy, of Clifden Castle, as also Mr. S. Jones,
R.M., interfered to disperse the people. The people
quietly withdrew, but had their homes brilliantly illu-
minated. Here, too, Messrs. D'Arcy and Jones thought
to interfere ; but the people told them that in obedience
to O'Connell's wishes they yielded to the magistrates
orders abroad ; their houses, however, were their own,
and if either Mr. Jones or Mr. D'Arcy attempted to in-
termeddle further with them, representations would be
made to Government for their dismissal, as their illegal
conduct was calculated to lead to a breach of the peace."
The following remarkable case occurred at the Tulla •
mere (King's county) Petty sessions, on Saturday last.
The report is taken from the Freeman's Journal of this
day. This is the only instance where the people had
been summoned fur an alleged breach of the law,
in connection with the rejoicings for the liberation of
Mr. O'Connell ; and, as will be perceived, the magis-
trate who prosecuted them has been censured, and the
conduct of the peasantry has been lauded as most or-
derly and becoming :
" TULLIMORE, SEPT. 14.—This town and neighbour-
hood was in a state of the greatest excitement, to watch
the result of the proceedings instituted by the stipen-
diary magistrate, Neale Brown, Esq., and the sub-in-
spector of police, Mr. Stewart, against the people of this
town, for lighting a bonfire on the night of Friday, the
6th instant, upon the occasion of the liberation of Mr.
O'Connell and his fellow-prisoners. Mr. Brown and Mr.
Ste.% art (two gentlemen who figured as Crown wit-
nesses on the State trials), not content with scattering
the bonfire on the night in question, had also issued
summonses against several persons who had taken a part
in lighting the bonfire. The people of the whole town
and surrounding district were in a state of the greatest
exasperation that their bonfire on this occasion should
be interrupted, while on every other occasion their bon-
fires had been passed by without any interruption. The re-
sult of this was, that the entire population of the town
and neighbourhood thronged the court-house to-day, to
such an extent, that the magistrates had to adjourn from
the usual place of holding petty sessions to the County
Court, which in a moment was filled to suffocation.
After some time had elapsed,
" Mr. °llea, as counsel for some persons who had
been summoned for assisting in making a bonfire on the
night of Friday, the 6th instant, begged the magistrates
would proceed to hear the cases.
" Upon this John O'Brien, Esq., of-Mountjoy-square,
took the chair ; the other other magistrates present being
Mr. Molloy, Sir Andrew Armstrong, (Members for the
county), and Mr. Neale Brown, stipendiary.
" The case of James Ilea, head-constable, against
Thomas Mitchell, was then called on, and Mr. O'Hea
said that as several parties were summoned for the same
offence, that this case would rule the others.
" Head-constable James Hea was then examined—He
said he accompanied Mr. Brown and Mr. Stewart to a
bonfire in Charleville-square, on the evening of the 6th.
Saw Thomas Mitchell there. He was fixing turf about
the fire. Witness told him to desist. He desisted in
about a minute. The fire was lighting at the time. He
asked Mitchell his name. He told it to him.
" Cross-examined by Mr. O'Hea—There was no riot
at the time—no tumult—no appearance of either. Mit-
chell made nu resistance. Gave him no blow. Did not
lay hands upon witness. Used no violence to him. De-
sisted in the space of one minute. Made use of no in-
sulting language. Did no injury to the person or pro-
perty of any individual under Heaven on that occasion.
The police scattered the fire. They acted under the
orders of Mr. Brown. Never interfered with any other
bonfire but this.
"'The Bench consulted for two or three minutes, and
then the Chairman, Mr. O'Brien, delivered the judgment
—'That the case should be dismissed, as the magistrates
were of opinion that the bonfire not being held on a pub-
lic road, it was no offence under the Act upon which the
prosecution was based. But he could not refrain from
saying that the conduct of the accused was very proper
and becoming, in desisting so soon as he did. He was
also bound to say that, in his opinion it was a most un-
fortunate occurrence that the stipendiary magistrate and
the sub-inspector of police had thought proper to inter-
fere in the manner they had done.
" The vast concourse of people then separated, highly
delighted and exulting, satisfied that, while they conduct
themselves peaceably and legally, the law can no longer
be outraged in their persons."
THE REPEAL RENT—STATE PROSECUTIONS.
DUBLIN, Serer. 15.—The expenses of the traversers
in the State prosecutions were enormous. Every pos-
sible obstacle had been east in the way of the defendants,
and the Crown prosecutors exacted every expensive for-
mality which they were empowered to enforce, all
through that protracted and gigantic litigation, from
the very first step to the ultimate reversal of the judg-
ment. No private purse could have sustained the de-
fence against a prosecution under such circumstances,
and most fortunate it was that the Repeal Association
had been provided with ample funds to fight the consti-
tutional battle against the Government, with the public
treasury at its back. The repeal funds have been found
much more than equal to the expenditure caused by the
State prosecutions. A large sum, nearly 20,0001., is
likely to remain to the credit of the Repeal Association,
after all the expenses shall have been defrayed.
MR. O'CONNELL'S VISIT TO DERRYNANE.
Mr. O'Connell intends to leave here on Tuesday week
for Derrynane Abbey, and several provincial dinners are
to be postponed until his return.
Two CLERGYMEN DROWNED AT ROME.—A melan-
choly event occurred at Rome on the 28th ult. ; two ec-
clesiastics, students of the Irish Franciscan College in
that city, were unhappily drowned whilst bathing in the
Tyber. One of the deceased, the Rev. E. F. Martin,
was in priest's orders, and had celebrated the holy sa•
crifice the morning of his untimely and lamented death.
His companion, the Rev. Richard Ambrose Kavanagh
was ordained sub-deacon on the previous Sunday. The
former was an excellent swimmer, but Mr. Kavanagh
could not swim, and it is conjectured that one was
drowned in the endeavour to save the other. Both gen-
tlemen were natives of Ireland, and much endeared, for
their piety and talents, to the superiors and fellow-stu-
dents of their college.—Cork Reporter.

tion, and are unanimous in prohouncing it the most wonderful ex-

display at Dusk is unjust ; it should be seen in the calm stillness of
the quiet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa-
cious Lake, to be fully appreciated.

CEMETERIES.

We were much pleased the other day on visiting
the cemetery at Nunhead, be'zween Peckham and
New Cross, Deptfora' to observe the progress making
in the erection of the neat, but elegant and at-
tractive, chapels for the use of this spacious sepulchre,
and which do much credit to the talents of the archi-
tect, and will form prominent features in that neigh-
bourhood.
In go:rig over the grounds we were struck with
several very chaste monuments, rnd especially the
one recently erected to the memory of the lote Mr.
Figgins, the extensive type-founder, and who, for
many years, we believe, took an active part in the
proceedings of the Corporation of London, as one of
the members of the Court of Common Council.
We hope in the ensuing session of Parliament at-
tention will be given to this important subject, and
effectually prevent the unwholesome practice of
burying in churches and churchyards in the 'very heart
of our densely-populated Metropolis.

SECOND EDITION.

ciety on the most comprehensive scale, and
any more restricted or exclusive one is
clearly superfluous. But let us suppose
this Irish, House of Lords established and in full
operation:l Well, what then? Will it, though no-
minally so, be really and truly independent of the
more popular Repeal Association ? Will it be able
to control the movements of that body, and exercise
a superiior authority over it ? Undoubtedly not.
The first; time the Preservative Society, presuming
to think, honestly for itself, comes into direct,
serious collision with the Association, it will
be cashiered at once— scattered to the four
winds of Heaven. But this it will never
do, and, for the best of all possible reasons
namely, that its sagacious originator clearly intends
that it shuould be nothing more than tho creatures of
his own sovereign will—a sort of multiplication of
himself! "I am France!" said NAPOLEON. "I am
the Preservative Society!" may Mr. O'CONNELL say,
with equal truth, when once this confederacy is em-
bodied ox.d fairly set a-going.

Among the daily evidences of increasing attention
to the ti!,ae elements of social improvement, we are
most plevssed to watch the awakened attention of the
public to the advantages of railroads. These high-
ways of -civilization, as we may really term them, are
multipl Ting in every direction where, at two extreme
points, .or at intermediate positions between them,
there ace manufacturing, or agricultural, or commer-
cial capabilities to be developed, combined, and ex-
tended. All the improvements of the mechanical as
well as the elegant arts—all the discoveries of
practical science in every department of human
knowledge—may be expected to multiply in
importance, to be facilitated and varied in
their aplp lication, in the same ratio in which railroads
open up,, or connect, new theatres for their develop.
ment. And that these vast public works, by econo-
mising-- to an extent which, twenty years ago, was
inconceivable to the minds of the most sanguine pro-

jectors--;the proportions of time within which given
distance s may be traversed with perfect ease and
safety *by the traveller, in common with the cor-
respond ence, and the traffic, goods, cattle, commodi-
ties, and. the varied productions of whole districts of
country--that these works do, by such means, ex-
pedite the : work of civilization, is an incontestable fact.
They area the lines over which intellectual enlighten-
ment, sin d philosophical observation, may be said
to overts.ke the halting progress of prejudice and
error ; ar id classes of the community from the most
distant •corners of the empire are brought in a few
hours irrto intimate communion together, which would
have re triained, but for this noble application of steam
to locor votive power, as segregated from one another,
and ea( It as ignorant of, and as little sympathising
with, Vac. wants or the wishes, the prosperity or the
privatiem s, the feelings or the functions of the other,
as their -fathers or their forefather had been for cen-
turies before them. The fatal prepossession that it is
the bus mess of each class, and of each member of a
class, t, a attend with exclusive selfishness to their own
concert arnents, is fast disappearing before the convic-
tion w'aich railway intercourse is every day diffusing
among the various sections of our entire community,
that, in. the advancement of the common prosperity,
consist; the best guarantee for the improvement
of p rivate interests. In this principle there
is no novelty. There is nothing in so self-evident a
propos'Ltion which may not have suggested itself to
every :re fleeting mind, that has been turned to this
subject, a hundred times before. But we may be
excused for doubting whether its true meaning, and
the beasiness of giving to it, each man in his own
sphere and with his own energies, practical effect and
application, were ever one half so strongly impressed
as they have been by the experiences resulting from
railway travelling.
In our advertising columns we have published an
abstracted prospectus of a new projected railway in
Irelanei„ to be called the " Great Western Railway
from Dublin to Mullingar and Athlone." The scheme
appears to be ushered into public notice under the most
respectable and influential auspices ; and from the
statements comprised in the advertisement, it would
appear that the expense of construction will not ex-
ceed t'ne moderate charge of 11,0001. per mile. The
line of country is one, undoubtedly, of singular im-
portance, and well adapted for the laying down of
such a, line of communication ; to which, the circum-
stance of its extreme termini being at the one side the
metropolis of the kingdom, and at the other one of its
most central and commanding towns, must, we should
apprehend, impart very considerable importance. It
is true., indeed, that the whole line is to be but sixty-
eight miles in length, and the contemplated capital is
not imposed at a higher figure than 750,0001. But if it
be, thus, a railroad not projected on the monster scale of
its astonishing namesake in this country, or of the vast
London and Birmingham line, it by no means therefore
follows that it may not Fee fraught with ultimate advan-
tages to Ireland not less signal than any which have yet
ensued from those gigantic undertakings to the Eng-
lish public at large. We speak on this occasion quite
irrespectively of the magnificent profits which the
one last named has returned to those who stand in
the positieen of original speculators in, or subscribers
to, it. There are other—and obvious lights—in which
the expansion of such a system of intercommunica-
tion must be regarded in Ireland. It will act, in that
distracted kingdom, for the most pacific as well as
the most politic of purposes. It will, in a few years,
eitablish the 'empire of regulated industry and
trading entezprise over the irregular and tumul-
tuous effees of a needy and excited people. In
the in.itux of business, capital, and employment,
which are the inevitable concomitants of railways,
that suffering people will find more wholesome objects
of solicitude, a snore legitimate exercise of their great
powers of application and endurance, a more per-
manent market for their labour, a wider and a better
scale of wages, and a greater and easier command of
the necessaries and conveniences of life, than the
illusory boon of a repeal of the union can ever really
afford them. Let us be understood to say this in no
other spirit but that of fairness to them, and of con-
viction on our own parts. We do not mean to dis-
parage for one moment the zeal, the talent, or the de-
votion, of so many who have conscientiously and en-
thusiastically advocated that repeal, any more than
we mean to retract our own objections to a plan for
dismembering the integrity of the empire. But if
the Irish people shall ever be brought to sum
up the amount of all the value they have
realised from the agitation of the repeal
question, and to contract the amount of civil as well
as political improvement which the champions of that
question have promised them, in the event of its
success, with the certain benefits—social, civil, and
political, public and individual—which would flow
from the execution of an extensive and well-admi-
nistered plan of railway communication throughout
' the length and breadth of their beautiful island, we
are certain that they would see in the completion of
these works the only certain and practical remedy
for those evils of misgoverment, and of misunderstood
or neglected interests, on which they found their de-
mand for the, dissolution of their political union with

virtually approximate the south to the north, would
rapidly produce the moral union of the Protestant
and the Roman Catholic population; and cement an
imperishable alliance between the men of Ulster with
the men of Munster; of the people of Leinster with
the races of Connaught; and of the whole Irish
nation with their brethren of Great Britain.

The Madrid journals of the lOth have arrived.
M. MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA had not yet declared whe-
ther or not he would accept the office of Minister for
Foreign Affairs, which had been offered him
by the QUEEN, and it was thought he seemed
but little disposed to join an Administration
headed by so violent a man as General NARVAEZ.
The retrograde policy pursued by CHRISTINA and
NARYAEZ is producing its natural results, and the
Carlists are now become so influential as a party that
they have bees enabled to return DO less than forty

Deputies to the Cortes. This is cne of the effects of
CHRISTINA'S endeavours to curry favour with the
priests, who are Carlists to a man. It would seem
that the Government is becoming seriously alarmed
at the growing influence of the Carlist party. The
elections at Barcelona passed off quietly. NARVAEZ,
who was at the head of the poll, only got 900 votes.
The Progresistas took no part whatever, and have
abstained throughout Spain from taking any part in
the elections.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
A young man, named Wm. Clarke, was placed before
Mr. Jardine, charged on suspicion of stealing six house
rugs of the value of 30s.
From the evidence it appeared that a day or two ago
the fan-light over the door of Mr. Pugh's shop in Great
Queen-street was broken by some person. This morn-
ing, about half-past three olclock, police-constable, F 156,
was on duty in Great Queen-street when he saw the
prisoner, and heard him call out in a subdued tone of
voice, " Come on." The officer took no notice of the
prisoner then, but went up to Mr. Pugh's shop-door and
discotered that some one had recently been there, for on
the handle of the door was some mud as though some
person had lately stood upon it. The officer returned to
the spot where the prisoner ha(' been standing and in a
door way he saw the rugs produced. The prisoner
again came up to the spot and asked the officer what
time it was, and ho was immediately taken into custody.
One of Mr. Pugh's shopmen stated that the rugs pro-
duced belonged to Mr. Pugh, and were in his shop last
evening. They must have been drawn out of the fan-
light one by one. They must have been drawn out with
some instrument.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday. On
that morning, at eight o'clock, the guns of the " In-
valides" fired a salute in celebration of the conclusion
of peace between the King of the FRENCH and the
Emperor of Morocco. The conclusion of the peace
is the subject of comment in all the Parisian journals.
The Ministerial organs comment on it in a tone of
the highest exultation. The Globe says :
"; This grave affair of Morocco is nobly terminated.
The Emperor Muley Abderrlaaman has yielded to what
lie saw before him ; he has comprehended the magnani-
mity of France, after having experienced her power. We
consider it superfluous to dwell on the consequences of
thi:t important event ; all men of sense understand them.

fre,!ci from annoyance; the impulse of great public works
confirmed ; France employed more than ever in further-
ing the happiness of her populations ; parties disap-
pointed in their hopes of disorder ; a great epoch the
more for the King's reign—such are the contents of the
dispatch which vt e lay before our readers."
The Journal des Debats is even more triumphant

in its tone. Not so, however, the Opposition prints.
They only see in the conclusion of this peace a fresh
instance of the subserviency of Prance to England—
they infer that the Emperor of MOROCCO has not
" demanded," but only " accepted " a peace which
was tendered to him, and express their fears that the
island of Mogadore has been evacuated without suffi-
cient security having been taken to ensure the expul-
sion Of ABD-EL-KADER.
" It will be necessary," says the Constitutionnel,

" to ascertain if Mr. BULWEII has not been the medi-
ator in all this affair ; and if this pretended peace
without indemnity, without guarantee, has not been
brought to us all prepared, and imposed as the plan
of the campaign had been."
The National is indignant at the terms granted
to Morocco, complains that France who gives an in-
demnity to PRITCUARD, does not ask the smallest
coin from the Emperor of Moßoccoi

The policeman was re-called, and he stated that there
was no other person in the street but the prisoner and
the man whom he called when he said "Come on," but
this man escaped. The hole in the fan-light was about
ten inches in size. The doorway in which the rugs were
found was next door to Mr. Pugh's shop, and the rugs
must have been thrown down as they were taken out of
the fan-light.
The prisoner said he knew nothing about the robbery.
He was merely passing along Great Queen-street on his
road home. _ _

Mr. JARDINE said the case was one of considerable
suspicion, and he should be inclined to remand the pri-
soner if he thought there was any probability of getting
any further evidence. The case, however, was of such
a nature as to render it almost impossible to get further
evidence, and therefore he should discharge the pri-
soner upon his undertaking to appear again if he should
be called upon.—lle was then discharged.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
Mr. Daniel Byrne, a miniature painter, residing in
Duke-street, Museum-street, was charged with annoying
Mr. Stimton, a gentleman residing in the same street.
It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor,
under the influence of liquor, went to the door of the
complainant's house at an early hour on the previous
morning, and knocked at it violently. When Mr.
Stamton, who was aroused from his bed, went to the
window and remonstrated with him, the prisoner con-
tinued knocking at the door and using bad language,
until given into custody.
The prisoner said he formerly lodged in Mr. Stamton's
house, but could not account for his conduct.

The MAGISTRATE said he would fine the prisoner ten
shillings, or a week's imprisonment.
The fine was paid.

We regret to have to announce, from intelligence
which has reached us from a high quarter, that a se-
rious aggression has been committed on her Majesty's
steamer Vesuvius. This vessel, on nearing Mogadore,
was fired upon by the only battery left them, which
is in possession of the Moors ; and being unable to
effect a landing, made for Rabat, where it experienced
a similar reception. The cause of such an outrage
on the part of the Maroquin authorities has not tran-
spired.—Morning Advertiser.

CITY OF LONDON REGISTRY.
(THIS DAY.)
The revision commenced this morning with the Dis-
tillers' Company.
William Marsden, a member of the Livery, was ob-
jected to by Mr. Quin, the Conservative agent, on the
ground of having been dead some time.
Mr. Marsden, who was at that moment sitting behind
hiat in Court, rose, and amidst roars of laughter assured
the Learned Barrister that he was quite as well, and as
likely to live as long, as Mr. Quin himself.
The REVISING BARRISTER considered that proper in-
quiries had not been made ; and on the application of
Mr. Maunders, awarded costs.
The next name on the list was that of Mr. George
Racine, who was objected to by Mr. Wansey, the Liberal
agent, on the ground of non-residence.
Mr. Racine proved he had occupied the house he now
resided in for seven years.
Mr. Wansey having admitted that he had been misin-
formed with respect to this objection, the Court also
awarded costs.
A number of other freemen were also objected to on
the plea of non-residence, death, &c., for which there
appeared no just grounds, by both sides. The Revising
Barrister awarded costs in all cases.
The vote of another claimant was sought to be set aside
on the ground of his holding a Post-office appointment. It
was contended, on the part of the applicant, that this ap-
pointment could not justify his name being struck off
the Livery, although it might disqualify him at the
time of election. He would not, it was true, vote while
he held the office, but then before the next election he
might either resign or have lost his appointment.
The applicant's name was retained upon the Livery-
lists.
Up to our going to press the ;evision had proceeded as
far as the Girdlers' Company.

EAST INDIA HOUSE.-(THIS DAY.)
COURT OF PROPRIETORS.
A Special General Court of Proprietors of Stock in
this Corporation was held at the India House this
morning, for the purpose of adopting a resolution agreed
to by the Court of Directors, granting an annuity of
1,0001. a year to Major-General Sir William Nott,
G.C.8., for his services in the East Indies.
The chair was taken, soon after twelve o'clock, by
Captain Sheppard. The Court was not fully attended.
The minutes of the last Court were read.

The CHAIRMAM announced that it was specially sum-
moned to consider a resolution passed on the 18th inst.
by the Court of Directors, which would be read. It was
as follows :

" That the Chairman having called the attention of
the Court to the recent arrival in this country, in a bad
state of health, of Major-General Sir William Nott,
G.C.8., and adverting to the services of that distin-
guished officer,—Resolved,
" That, as a special mark of their approbation of the
foresight, decision, judgment, and courage, displayed by
him, when he commanded at Candahar, and on the march
to Cabul,
" That an annuity of 1,0001. be granted to Major-
General Sir William Nott, to commence from the day
when he left India, subject to the approbation of the
Court of Propietors." •
The CHAIRMAN enumerated the many eminent ser-
vices of Sir William Nott, from the year 1800, when he
entered the Company's service, down to the brilliant
affair—tile last of this gallant officer's operations.
The resolution was carried by acclamation, and the
Court adjourned.

Our last quotation of the St. Leger prices was
governed by the betting up to the departure of the
mail for Rotherham. Shortly after, Lord Stanley,
who had been to Pigburn, and had found his horse
dead lame, entered the room, and declared that he
would not start. A notice to that effect was posted in
the room, dated half-past six o'clock. The meeting
after dinner was as numerous as we ever saw on the
eve of the St. Leger. The room was thronged until
long after midnight; and business, by fits and starts,
was tolerably animated. Large sums were laid out on
The Cure at evens, and it became a very nice thing be-
tween him and the field, several unaccepted offershaving
been made at one part of the room to go on, while, at
the same moment, 1,200 to 1,000, 600 to 500, 500 to
400, and other bets at the same rate, were being laid
on the field, we are disposed to think that on the
average of the betting the field always had the call. Red
Deer was backed at 5 to 1, and The Princess at the
same odds and 11 to 2 ; Foig-a-ballagh closed at 5
to 1 ; 6 to 1 in hundreds was laid agst him, about ten
o'clock, by Mr. Collett, with the owner, and the bet
was followed, first by an opinion anything but compli-
mentary to the horse's fitness to run; and afterwards,
by an offer to match Corranna against him for five
hundred or a thousand, to run the St. Leger Course
on Friday, Corranna to give two stone ; and further,
if Mr. Irwin would give him fifty pounds, he stands
to the offer until the following night. After a little
sparring, a pony was given, and the match, should
Mr. Irwin " remain in the vein," will be closed this
evening. Mr. C. also took from the owner 100 to 10
that Foig-a-ballagh would be " absolutely " last, and
laid 50 even that he would be beaten four length.
The following were the general prices at midnight:—
Even between the field and The Cure, field for choice.

We are informed by our reporter, that by the
disgraceful carelessness of the mail coach and rail-
road proprietors, two of his parcels have been de-
tained. The first, dispatched from Doncaster on
Saturday, containing the entries, arrivals, &c., for
publication onMonday, was booked at the Masborough
station per mail train, and should have been delivered
on Sunday morning, but did not come to hand till
Monday!; and a second, with an account of Monday's
races, for our " Second Edition," was put in the post at
Rotherham by the mail coachman.

(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)
DONCASTER, TUESDAY EVENING.

If evidence were required of the prosperous state
of the Turf at the present moment, it was supplied
this day in the immensity of the throng congregated
to witness the struggle for the greatest of the north
country races—a race made more exciting to the
sporting community, and more interesting to the
public, by the extraordinary fluctuations that have
marked the progress of the betting. The stands
were crammed, and the course, malgre the gloomy
appearance of the sky -and an occasional shower,
crowded in all directions. The display of beauty
and fashion, if less imposing than at Doncaster in the
" olden time," was more than respectable, and the
general attendance larger than we have seen in this
locality for three or ibur years. The races com-
menced, during a slight fall of rain, with*

PVGDlASM.—Yesterday the fight between Smith
(the Cheltenham Youth) and Welsh (of London) came
off a short distance below Grave end, in the presence of
a great number of persons. These representatives of
the light weights were matched for 20/ aside. A steamer
engaged for this event left London for the locality ap-
pointed for the contest, conveying the combatants and
parties interested, and, having arrived, a sing was
formed, and the men introduced. Smith was attended
by Stocks, and Welsh was seconded by Turner. In
betting, 5 and 6 to 4 were laid on Smith. The men hav-
ing prepared, war was commenced, and Smith, with some
dexterity, planted a severe blow on the frontispiece of
his opponent, a compliment which he readqv returned.
At the fifth round it was quite apparent Welsh was
superior in science and strength, while his adversary
displayed great courage. Matters went on for forty
minutes, at which time Welsh and his party appeared
certain of success, while Smith and his friends thought
a " battle was ne'er won ti!l it was lost;" end they con-
tinued contending for victory for fifty-nine minutes,
when Welsh was declared the winner. 'The fight which
was pending between Hayes and Goff, and announced
to come off in the same i;ng as the above, did not take
place.
ATTEMPTED ASCENTS OF MONT BL A NC.—M M.
Bravais end Martins have been for some time engaged
in attempts to ascend Mont Blanc, but without success.
After spending the intervening time in collecting a
series of meteorological and geological observations in
the Alpine country which surrounds the mount:,:n, the
ascent was happily effected on the 29th ult. The tra-
vellers found their tent on the Grand Plateau unin-
jured, and formed the design of passing a night each on
the summit of the mountain, while their companions
(M. Lepileur being now added to the number) encamped
in the tent. But the intense cold defeated this part of
their project. The thermometer stood at 7 4-10 degrees
below zero, in the shade, at a quarter past two o'clock
in the day, and the ascent was most painful, notwith-
standing the fineness of the weather. At a short dis-
tance from the summit they were assailed by a piercing
wind, and the cold which it brought was so intense, that
they describe their sensations on attaining the summit,
when they had in some measure escaped its severity,
as being that of men who had entered a well-warmed
saloon,
