WINDSOR, THURSDAY.—His Royal Highness Prince
Albert hunted with his harriers to-day, and met at Mr.
Mason's farm, at Upton, attended by the Earl of Morton,
Colonel Wylde, and Mr. Anson. The hares were plen-
tiful, but the weather so bad that there was a bad scent,
and little sport. His Royal Highness returned to the
Castle after two or three short runs. The field con-
sisted of some of the neighbouring yeomen, and two or
three of the officers of the Life Guards.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Nov. 6.—Chief Justice Pennefather was
again absent from the Court of Queen's Bench this day,
and it is stated there is yet no improvement in his health.
CITY OF DUBLIN REGISTRY.

The Tories are again in a minority, notwithstanding
all their struggles to raise a stock purse, and to induce
the discontented Orangemen to co-operate with the
place hunters at the Registry Court. no following is
the result of the city of D.iblin registry yesterday :
Liberals admitted, 15 ; Tories, 11. Three Liberal claim-
ants stand over, and one was admitted. from the previous
day, which makes the Liberal majority, yesterday, five.
Thus the Liberals, who had gained so extensively at the
rect,nt registry sessions, are still adding to their majority.
MURDER OF ARTHUR GLOSTER, ESQ.

Another appalling murder has been committed, the
victim being a landlord who had taken legal steps for
the eviction of some of his tenants. The scene of this
murder is the county of Clare, which, for several years
past, has been remarkably
.free from agrarian crime.
The Limerick Reporter, received this morning, contains
the following account f this dreadful outrage :
We regret to have to record the death of Arthur
Gloster, Esq., of Moylish, yesterday (Monday) evening,
by the hand of the assassin, instigated, it is supposed, to
the appalling and direful act by the wild justice of re-
venge. Mr. Gloster, a few years ago, purchased, under
the courts, an estate at Toonagh, between Kilkesban
and Spancahill, in the county of Clare, for which he
paid from ten to twelve thousand pounds. The tenants
on the lands have been' for several years in possession ;
and report goes to say, that deceased- had notices served
on some of them, with, large families, whether for non-
payment of rent we have not been informed, and had
proceeded there yesterday, preparatory to eviction, and
was to have gone to-day also for the same purposes.
But on..hiereturn home last, evening, between four and
five o'clock, at a short distance froth Kilkeshan he was
shot dead in his gig. This is an appalling state of things,
and calls loudly upon the Legislature for the enactment
of some measure to interpose between landlords and
tenants in this country. Mr. Gloster was unmarried,
and was considered wealthy."
LANDLORD AND TENANT COMMISSION.

..... . _
A recent letter of Mr. Edward Pennefather (son
of Baron Pennefather), to the Secretary of the Land
Commission, stated his refusal to return to the
office of the Commission, without publicity, cer-
tain statements given in evidence before the Com-
missioners by the Reverend John Mackey, a Roman
Catholic clergyman, respecting Mr. Pennefather,s
estate. Upon
.this proceeding, and the general conduct
of the Commissioners in regard to privileged communica-
tions made to them by tenants examined as witnesses,
the Tipperary Vindicator has the following remarks :
" The Land Commission is not only a mockery and a
delusion, but a snare. In the confidence of honourable
secrecy, the people, or the friends of the people, cora-
initte&facts to its ceeping, which it now appears, have
been revealed, with the names of those who gave
them, to the parties to whom they bore particular refer-
ence. The announcement made in the Secretary's letter
to the Cork land agents, that the Commissioners sub-
mitted all complaints to the persons complained of, in
order that explanation should be given, was sufficient
exposition of the principles by which Lord Devon and
his fellow-labourers were actuated in their hurried pere-
grinations through Ireland. But no one could have
supposed that to deceit would have been added
treachery, and that the names of individuals who had the
humanity to speak of the land system as it is, would be
handed over to those who' have an interest in protecting
that system from an imperative reform. Such, however,
is the fact. Not only has the evidence given in reference
to the relations between the landlord and tenant been.
laid before the landlord, but the name of the witness
who contributed that evidence has been likewise aban-
doned to the discretion of the latter. That such a prac-
tice is calculated to do more harm than good ; to in-
crease rather than to remove the difficutties of the land-
lord's and tenant's respective positions, and to make the
one an object of hatred and jealousy to the other, is, we
think, perfectly obvious. These observations are sug-
gested by a letter of Mr. Edward Pennefather to the
secretary. Whatever may be thought of the conduct of
the Commissioners, we think that Mr. Edward Penne-
father cannot be condemned for acquainting the public,
even at the eleventh hour, with the manmuvres of those
personages ; and though the Rev. Mr. Mackey stated
nothing in confidence that he is not prepared to avow
publicly, yet, what has been done with respect to him
has, of course, been done in reference to many who can
far less afford to speak boldly the accents of undisguised
truth than that respected clergyman."
THE FEDERAL MOVEMENT.

The Northern Whig of yesterday contains the fol

lowing:—" As some contemporaries, at a distance, have
been asking about a federal meeting said to have bean
held in Belfast, we deem it right to state that, on the
26th ult., the Hon. H. Caulfield, Mr. Sharman Crawford,
and one or two others, met at the Royal Hotel in this

town, and drew up a form of federal 6claration, which
has, we understand, been sent to Dublin for the con-
sideration of the federalists there. The meeting was
private, and for that reason, as also because we really
did not take much interest in it, we omitted noticing it,
at the same time thinking it better to await the publica-
tion of the declaration, should that take place."
COURT OF CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)—Mr. Joseph
Napier, and Mr. Richard Nunn, assistant-barrister of
the county Tyrone, were this day called to the inner
bar, and took their seats accordingly. The absence of
these gentlemen on the first day of term—the former in
England and the latter being engaged in the discharge
of his judicial duties—prevented their being called along
with the other newly-appointed Queen's counsel.
T. M. RAY, ESQ.—The Secretary of the Repeal As •
sociation arrived in Limerick this day (Tuesday) from
Derrynane Abbey, where he had been for the past month
on a visit with the Liberator recruiting his health after
his incarceration. Mr. Ray leaves for Dublin to-morrow
morning, to resume his efficient services at the Associa-
tion.—Limerick Reporter of Tuesday.
THE LIMERICK BOARD OF GUARDIANS AND THE
COMMISSIONERS.—It will be seen that the despots of
Somerset-house have brought the Limerick and Rath-
kealo guardians into the Court of Queen's Bench. We
have reason to know that the whole business will be
brought before Parliament in the ensuing session. Even
should the decision of the Queen's Bench be adverse,
they can only be compelled to attend ; but how will ttrby
be forced to discharge the business of the board ? We
have learned that yesterday (Monday) the Limerick
board of guardians held a full meeting, the Earl of Clare
in the chair, when it was unanimously resolved to fight
the Commissioners while there was an inch of ground to
stand on. We understand that the opinion of counsel
has been obtained, and is most decisive in favour of the
guardians.—Limerick Reporter.
THE LATE STORM.

TIPPERARY.--The floods caused by the late rains have
inflicted considerable damage, particularly in the moun-
tainous districts. In the neighbourhood of Shalee, and
along the Keeper range, the roads are in a deplorable
condition—the bridges on the upper and lower roads
towards Newport and Limerick are swept away, and
much inconvenience is felt by the population of that dis-
trict.— Tipperary Vindicator.
KILKENNY.—We could not, within any reasonable
space, detail a tithe of the disasters occasioned to the
poorer inhabitants of this city by the flood on Friday
night, which was not paralleled since that of 1763. Up-
wards of five hundred persons were doomed to all the
inconvenience arising from having their places of resi-
dence flooded from five to ten feet depth of water ; and
their furniture so drenched and otherwise injured that it
was hardly worth while to make any.attempt to save it
from the torrent. Persons residing in the Horse Bar-
rack, Water Barrack, and Black Mill-streets, were the
principal sufferers. In one of these localities, the rooms
of Mr. Grace, publican, presented a strange scene.
Kegs, bottles, and decanters, floated about. In the house
of a man named Cody, the water reached the upper
apartments, and the occupants, as we are credibly in-
formed,
were standing on the tables to escape the stream.
The exertions of Constable James Campbell to save poor
Cody's family were beyond praise. He was aided in his
benevolent efforts by Mr. Murphy, of Irishtown. We
have not room to detail the " hair breadth 'stapes" of
these two adventurers on a floating raft. After taking
two boys from the window of Cody's house, by means
of a pole, one of them, from fear of the raft sinking,
clung to the pole, and was pulled back—the other was
left on the raft, which sunk, and owed his life to the
conjoint efforts of the constable and Murphy, both of
whom could swim. The danger to the experimenters
may be judged of when we state, that in some places
there were from 10 to 14 feet of water. Constable
Campbell was drifted into an adjacent brewery, and gave
himself up as lost, till he found an opening at top, which
led to a loft, and ultimately he made his way to the top.
of Mr. Grace's house, and after sustaining severe suffer-
ing and trial, was again seen on terra firma. We know
not in what terms to speak of our excellent Mayor, who
was seen in every quarter where suffering was expe-
rienced. Such folks generally superintend, but do not act.
The Mayor, on the contrary, not only superintended, but
acted ; and when constable Campbell, in his dangerous
position, lost the pole, and was dislodged from the
floating raft, the Mayor was the first to come to his
aid, and was seen more thart once with little more
than his head over the water. On the morning after the
flood, when the poor creatures were fireless and foodless,
the Mayor's goodness and consideration were at hand.
His Worship supplied loads of culm, and bread and milk,
to relieve the victims of sudden and unforeseen calamity.
Straw was also supplied by the same munificent hand ;
and on Sunday Mrs. Smithwick ordered three cwt. of
beef, had soup made of it, and administered it with bread
to the victims of temporary destitution ; and in very
many cases Mr. Smithwick gave money, when the supply
of food was in any way deficient. The sufferers from
the flood are many, and their case one which commands
the sympathies of all. In John-street, and other parts
of the city, there were sad scenes of suffering and con-
fusion. In Freshford, and many
.parts of the county,
numbers of poor families have sustained what to them are
serious losses.—Kilkenny. Journal
LIMERICK QUARTER SESSIONS, MONDAY.---RIOT ABOUT

LAND.—Michael Crowe, and twenty- one others, were in-
dicted for a riot and violent assault on several persons.
at Cluggan, in this county. The appearance of such a
number of prisoners in the dock together was rather un
usual. It appears that there was a dispute about land
between the Crowes and the Dwyers, and that the sheriff
zave possession to the widow Ryan, under an haler e.
The Crowes, with a large party, came afterwards to take
forcible possession, and hence the riot and assault. Eight
of the female prisoners and four of the male were ac-
quitted ; and the remainder were found guilty of the
riot. The Court sentenced them according to their de-
grees of guilt, to twelve, three, and six months' irnpri
sonment. The reading of the issue-paper caused a good
deal of merriment, for it was something like a monster
indictment. The jury remained in a very long time, and
the foreman had to sign his name 154 times !—Limerick
Reporter.
MUNSTER DINNER TO MR. O'CONNELL—We are
delighted to know that the banquet to the Liberator pro-
mises to be one of the most magnificent and stirring-dis-
plays made for many years in the South of Ireland. Pre-
parations are making in the various towns of the South
to send deputations to represent them at this auspicious
gathering. All regard the coming banquet with unpa-
ralleled interest and importance. It is certain that a
definite and a definitive course of action will be pro-
pounded and adopted.—Tipperarp Vindicator.
BIRTHS EXTRAORDINARY.—The wife of Wm. Faulk-
ner, a farmer in the townland of Drting, parish of Mo.
yille, of twins—a daughter and son. The former was
born on the Ist of October last, and the latter on the 2d
instant, making between them a difference of 33 days,
during which time, from the 4th ult., until the morning
of the 2d instant, she had good health, and attended to
the general housewifery. The mother and children are
doing well.—Londonderry Journal.

SCOTCHAIIITN-ICIPAL'IELECTIONS"

EDINDURGH.—The municipal elections for this city
took place on Tuesday, but there being at present no
subject of general or local interest under discussion
calculated to divide public opinion, the occasion
passed over in comparative quiet. There were, never-
theless, pretty keen contests in three of the wards,
but, turning as they did on points of personal pre-
ference rather than on politics, the interest was
chiefly confined to the parties more immediately con-
cerned. The council will now consist of twenty-
seven Liberals and six Tories. As Churchmen and
Dissenters, the numbers will probably stand thus :
Dissenters, 24 ; Churchmen, 9.

LErrn.—The elections went off very quietly, there
being contests in only two wards, and these not upon
political grounds. The Candidates were all Liberals.
GLASGOW.—The elections have terminated in the
return of ten Liberals, not a single Conservative
having ventured to come forward. This absence or
any attempt at opposition is seemingly owing to the
lukewarmness of. the Conservatives, consequent on
their mistrust of Sir R. Peel's policy. Party-spirit,
however, has very much abated in this quarter of
late from various causes, and the polling which took
place to-day excited little of the interest which usually
accompanies a contested election.

SIEGE OPERATIONS AT CllATRAM.—Yesterday
terminated the siege operations carried on for the last
fortnight on the field-works practice ground, on the left
of Chatham lines. The day being tolerably fine, drew
together a vast number of respectable persons. Captain
Whitmore, Royal Engineers, directed the defensive, and
Captain Wynne, the offensive operations. A detach-
ment of the I I th, consisting of the Grenadier Company,
under the command of Captain Jenner, took up their
p ,sition on the left face of the ravelin, and being the
defenders of the fortress, were protected by a high bank;
the other portion of the regiment, consistine. of Nos. 1,
2,3, and the Light Company, being the attackers, occu-
pied the first parallel, and on the sound of the bugle being
given to them for advance, the troops marched off, leaving
the No. 1 Company as a reserve. The 2d and 341 Com-
pany took up their positions iu the second and third
parallel. The Light Company, under Captain Moore,
advancing, manned the lodgment and the right side of
tke double sap. The troops on both sides opened a
sharp and well-regulated:musketry-file firing, lasting
several minutes, The bugle to cease firing having
sounded, the atiacking troops retreated to the first parallel,
-when Lieutenant Stokes, with corpgral Baker, Royal •
Engineers, of the besieged party, instantly fired a mine-
of 1301 b. of gunpowder, making a crater of twenty ;feet
by eighteen feet in circumference, and about two feet six
inches in depth. The troops at the sound of the bugle
made a rapid advance up the intrenched lines, and on
arriving at the spot where the miners were busily crowning
the entonnoir with gabions, opened a brisk fire on their
opponents. The attacking miners at the same time
were getting ready ‘vith all possible speed to spring
three mines, for the purpose of destroying the counter-
mines of the enemy. The loading and tamping having
been announced ready, the signal was again given for
the troops to retire to their old position, to avoid danger.
Captain Wynne, on the word fire being given, sprang
his mines, the explosions following one another, and as
the charges were not more than from nine to tkm feet
&dm the surface of the earth, the explosions vverir most
magnificent, forcing the earth and fragments of timber
to the height of between 40 and 50 feet. The quantity
of powder used in these mines was 5001 b., and each' ex-
plosion formed a crater averaging in direurnforenee'23ft.
by 25ft., and a depth of about Eft. The moment after
these explosions the troops were again brought up, who
protected the miners crowning their entonnoirs by open- ,
ing a well-continued fire on the enemy's lodgments,
which were occupied by the infantry, who kept firing as
they advanced. The defenders of the fortress tired a
conntermine by the voltaic battery, of a charge of 1001 b.
of powder, producing an entonnoir of 15ft. by 161 t.,
which was very soon crowned by the advance of the
miners, who were protected by the infantry's fire from
the intrenched lines. The retreat was again sounded,
ana the soldiers retired, and Lieutenant Carr fired a
chitrge of 1501 b. of powder, causing :considerable shock
to! the bystanders by the explosion. Very soon after-
wtOds Lieutenant Clarke fired a charge of 731 b. The
defensive force then opened a sharp fire on the besiegers,
who returned it gallantly, iwhen the operations finally
cldsed (at four o'clock in the afternoon), having gone off
to the entire satisfaction of every officer who had been
engaged, particularly to the director, Lieut.-Colonel Sir
Frederick Smith, K.II.
11IRS. TROLLOPE'S NEW NOVEL, " YOUNG LOVE."

--!' Young Love!—a more fascinating title for a novel
could not, by any possible chance, have been hit upon,
nor, in the hand of a practised writer like Mrs. Trollope
—acquainted, as she is, with all the workings of the
kuman passions, physically and morally, on different
constituted minds—could it prove otherwise than rich,
and varied, and startling in its development. The work
abOunds with the most keen and caustic satire. Amongst
th characters may be particularly mentioned two re-
ma kably amiable and good sort of people, Colonel and
Mtis. Dermont, the " great ones" of the village, who
neler dift'er and quarrel upon any subject, and, con amore,
unite their forces to spoil their only son and heir,
Alfred, the hero of the tale, whom they regard as the
most beautiful and wonderful of God's creatures. The
heioine, Amelia Thorwold, is a magnificent, full-blown,
aristocratic beauty—a perfect mistress of all the arts of
dedeption, and a vindictive plotter in the bargain. Con-
traSted with her is the gentle, yet acute and intelligent
Julia Drummond, the ward of Colonel Dermont, and
th© fellow pupil of Alfred. There is also an obstre-
porous old maid, Celestina Marsh, passionately, vio-
iently, furiously in love with every young man she
meets. And then, besides numerous others, is a Mrs.

Stephens, a young married woman of forty—rich, hand-
toxic, intellectual, literary, philosophical, and Yankee-
bitten, who has converted (or, as Scrub, in the play,
would say, perverted) her youthful husband, a clergy-
mats of the Church of England, to Unitarianism. Nor
mutt her friend Mr. Hollingsworth, pork-butcher, tripe
and wine-merchant, &c., ' an American of great literary
endowments, just arrived from the United States,' be
passed unnoticed. The work will soon be in every-
body's hands."— Naval and Military Gazette.
(ADVERTISEMENT.] A CERTAIN CURE FOR
AsTnivtA. BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—Read the following
case :—James Holmes, a cotton-spinner, residing at
Ancoates, Manchester, had been asthmatical for these
last; three years; he was frequently so bad, that when
rising from his bed he could scarcely speak or draw his
breath, and would cough and spit for half-an-hour toge-
thet, and often thought he should be choked; he was
much reduced in strength, and after every other means
of enre failed he usedllhese wonderful pills, which have
renioved every symptom of asthma, and he is now as
free; from it as when he was a child.—Sold (also

LEITH, Nov. 5--VioLErr GALE.—A violent gale
from the east set in on Friday, and has continued with
more or less fury ever since. On Saturday it
blew so strong that all the steamers, with one
exception, which ventured out that day were un-
able to proceed down the Firth, and obliged to
tako shelter to leeward of Inchkeith, where they
lay till early on Monday morning. A timber-laden
vessel—the Jane, Captain Loudon, of Sunderland,
frPetersburgh to Ilull—was driven up the Firth on
Sway evening,
Long Craig-rock, at the south-east end of the
and in seeking shelter off Inchkeith, ran
uthe
island, at ten P. M., where she lay till yesterday morning,
when a steamer put off to her assistance, and although
con iderably damaged, was towed into the harbour.
Ford Colvill has left London for his seat at Cleish.
Lady Colvill passes the winter at Ochiltree, and
visits Baden in the spring.
