THE STORM IN IRELAND.

DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING.—The reports
from the western and northern shores are to the effect
that during the great storm of Sunday night con-
siderable damage was done to the shipping, particu-
larly the small craft. Here on this coast the shipping
escaped well. The following particulara are supplied
by the journals received this morning :
KINGSTOWN, Ocr. B.—The weather since Sunday
morning has been very tempestuous. The gale was
at its height from Sunday to yesterday morning, and
it blew a perfect hurricane early on Monday. Die
mail packet St. Columba had a very severe passage of
7i hours. The Eblana had also a very rough passage.
The Anglia, due last night, did not reach Kingstown
till past three o'clock this morning. The. Iron Duke
could not leave Liverpool at the usual time last night,
as she bad to wait some hours for water over the
bar, but she reached Kingstown soon after ten o'clock
this morning—thus making an excellent passage.
The Mteerva did not leave Liverpool, as usual, in
opposition to the City of Dublin Company.
On last 'Wednesday- the Cork Company's screw-
ship Albatross, loaded with cattle, got on the banks in
the river, and, owing to some disarrangement of her
engines, remained for some time there, till relieved
from her unpleasant situation by the next tide. She
returned to the North Wall in tow of the Lion
steamer, and landed the cattle to ascertain the cause
of the accident. Steam was again raised, and the
cattle reloaded, but unfortunately the damage was not
repaired, as the vessel could not proceed to sea. The
cattle were again discharged, and some forwarded to
Liverpool on Eriday by the Ocean steam-vessel.
On Saturday evening the Albatross was able to sail
for Liverpool. On her passage she fell in with the

LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1850,

Germany appears to be destined to suffer from an
interminable series of embarrassments. At the mo-
ment when additional calamities have fallen upon the
Confederation in consequence of the mal-administra-
tion of affairs in Hesse-Cassel, the nation is startled by
n'w disasters arising out of its Quixotic enterprise in
behalf of the Schleswig-Holsteiners. That enterprise
has mat with its just retribution. The war of spolia-

Lion hasbeen attended, from its commencement up to
the present moment only by discomfiture. Denmark
has proved true to its ancient and glorious reputa-
tion. Attacked by the soldiers of the German al-

liance, the SOVEREIGN of that venerable and chivalric
monarchy has found himself aided by the unconquer-
able valour of the Danish lieges, and by the loyal
df votion of the Government of Copenhagen. I-Hs
nies have fought in every encounter with that daunt-
less hardihood befitting the custodians of the Baltic,
and by, a series of brilliant strategic manoeuvres
have wrested from a superior force all the principal
strongholds of Jctland. Their prowess in this regard
has, in some measure, been alone comparable to that
ciindad by the brave Hungarians when, retreating
slowly step by step to the rallying point of De-
breczioi they at length responded to the signal of
attack by hurriedly driving back the invaders beyond
t?v frontiers of their outraged dominion. Acting
tpoo dscheme of campaign similar to that adopted
by the Magyars, the Danish forces withdrew at first
tv . the northern extremity of the peninsula, and then
by at sudden and simultaneous, movement southwards
cr.mpelled their antagonists to retire with precipita-
ti(.,n. Once coMmeneed, the retributive vengeance
wreaked upon the German armaments has been con-
uniaterruptedly. Every encounter

In its fourth instalment, the current number for
October, the Palladium displays no abatement in its

S DANIELSprMictIorT
H 'ComimliSssi oned by the pro Sir Jamesd SJoOhn RandolN. are
Mackenzie, Bart., to announce that the above very fine and influen-
tial TERRITORIAL FREEHOLDPROPERTY., embracing upwards
of 7,000 acres (or eleven square miles) of highly-cultivated or im-
proveable Land, interspersed with thriving Woods and Plantations,
will (unless previously disposed of by Private Treaty) be SUBMIT-
TE if to PUBLIC COMPETITION in the Autumn.

The mansion; which is complete,y furnished, is of modern erec-
tion, and is suited in all respects for the immediate occupation of a
large and first-rate establishment, with capital °faces, stabling,
walled gardens, highly dressed and varied flcasure grounds, hot-
houses, and cmservaturies, on a commanding but delightfully shel-
tered elevation, with splendid marine and inland scenery, and em-
bracing the site of the Old Manor House, with a fine and bold extent
of shore and beach, with south end east aspects. The domain sur-
rounds the residence, and is richly varied with hill and dale,
consisting of park-like piddocks, thriving plantations well-stocked
with game, and numerous farms, mills, &c., let on improv-
ing leases, at rents which are most punctually paid half
yearly, and are •so moderate as to hold-out the certainty of a
considerable increase of income on the termination of the
present leases, as we'l as many undeveloped sources of
more extensive and permanent improvements. They embrace
a variety of soil, Wall' valuable stone ; and having the great advan-
tage of a fine opening to the seti;" with a good anchorage for a yacht,
and fine bathing ground, these estates possess every facility for car-
rying out the most profitable as well as pleasurable objects for en-
hancing their value; and .the command of navigation and the gra-
dual approach, of railway communication render them a very desir-
able and most safe investment. The parish chu: ches of Avoch,
ilosemarkie, and Knockbain, as well as the Episcopal chapel of
Fortrose, are all in the clime vicinity. The advowson or patronage
of the parish of Avoch will be disposed of with these estates.
Particulars and plans, when completed, may be had of William
Mackenzie, Esq.,. W.S., 29, Charlotte-square, Edinburgh; of
Messrs. Cameron and Martin, 10, New Palace-yard, Westminster;
and of Messrs. Daniel Smith and Son, Land Agents, in Waterloo-
place, Pall-mall; to any of whom applications may be made for
further information, and for the purchase of the estate by private
treaty.

to submit to PUBLIC SALE, in the ensuing Spring,
This singularly desirable and important FRF.EBOLD MANORIA L
ESTATE, justly ranked among the most distinguished seats of the

and roads, the salubrity of the air and soil, its delightful retirement,
though within six miles 'of Windsor, with which it is connects I by
unbroken but varied drives through the most beautiful portion of the
Royal Park. The, Old Park, surrounding the mansion, comprises
nearly 200 acres, with its richly wooded walks, lake, and gardens,
in which is 'the Celebrated vine, considered' by many as surpassing
that at Hampton Court. The manor - abounds with game. The
outwaTel demesne. . embracing about nine , hundred acres, highly
embellished with plantations, through which are several
miles of drives,"—large fish-pond, capital farm, homesteads,
and picturesque lodges, presents a most Improveable 'property, and a

CLER biONT, IN NORFOLK.
An Important and beautiful Estate, with an elegant and spacious
modern Mansion, the whole in perfect order, and, one of the
choicest and most complete sporting domains in the kingdom, and
_ _

which may be extended to 4,000 or 5,000 acres.
IV2 ESSRS. DANIEL SMITH • and SON are
commissioned, unless previously disposed of by Private
Treaty, to SUBMIT to public COMPETITION", at the Mart,
on TUESDAY, October 15, at Twelve.
• The above most desirable and distinguishel COUNTRY SEAT,
with manor and fine domain, embracing in a perfect ring fence,
nearly 2.500 acres intersected by a fine stream, with a range of
?minable meadows, surrounding the elegant mansion of Clermont
Dodge, which has been greatly enlarged and improved within the
last few years. The house is very superior as to its arrangements
and elegant fittings, opening with south aspect to as Italian flower
garden, parterre, and terrace, and the park-like paddocks. The
offices are very complete for a large, establishment, and the stables
are new. The gardens are well planned with ranges of hot-houses,
connected by gravelled walkf with the pleasure grounds. The farm
homesteads are of a superior description, with cottages, keepers' and
other lodges, and the estatejudiciously divided into six capital farms,
and the whale estate richly belted and studded with luxuriant plan-
tations and woods fall of game, and intersected by beautiful drives
and walks. The home demesne is laid out with great judgment and
taste, embracing a magnificent oak wood. The judicious openings
and beautiful formation of the clumps and groves, with the inter-
mixture of various kinds of trees and wild cover, afford a remark-
ably fine contrast of light and shade, and cheerful scenery from the
house. The game preserves are considered almost unequalled. A
very large outlay having been lately made en the house, offices, gar-
dens, and grounds, every part is in the highest order. and altogether
it will be found a most desirable and complete residential property,
and an excellent landed investment, with an opportunity now of
gMeatly extending the domain. It is about eight miles from Swaff-
Man and Brandon (where are railway stations), only one how's ride
Irian Norwich, and six fro.n town, and in the midst of a distin-
guished neigbourhood.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Oct. 9.

(if,fure Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant Judge, and a
Bench of Alagistratfi.)
Eleanor Bennett, 22, was irdiete,i for having
threatened the lite of Isabella Grace ..Mountford, the
sch.:,olrnistress SJB..:qhnal-green workbuuse.

•
The defendant, when called upon to pipad, for F,ome
minutes took no notice of the question, but lo,ked
about the court in a determined wanner; at length
Toe officer in the dock called out in her car,
" What have you to say in answer to the charge; are
you guilty or not guilty ?" The defendant—" Oh!
tell her. pi give it her again if I can only get
at her, even if you give me three years for it. That's
what I'd do. That's what I've got to say. What do
you think of that, old fellow ?" and at length seeing
the prosecutrix at the end of the dock, she stooped
down, and was endeavouring to pull off one of her
shoes, no doubt with the intention of throwing it at
her, when the officer laid hold of her. She threw the
officer's arm from her, and began to mutter, in a
rapid manner, "I'll give it her. I'll teach her to
interfere with me. I'll give it to her if it's twelve
months to come_

The officer —Did you hear ? Are you guilty or
not guilty ? The defendant—l shan't tell you. I
can till you this, if I go to prison, when I get out I
will do it again.
All efforts to induce the defendant to plead were
entirely unavailing, and at length a pea of not guilty
wcs ordered to be token, and the case proceeded.
Mr. M. PRENDERGAST thrin stated that he was in-
structed to appear tor the prosecution by the parochial
authorities of St. Matthew, Bethnal. green, and in
the course of his address stated the mai❑ facts of the
case as they were afterwards detailed by tha wit-

nesses.
Miss Isabella Grace Mountford stated that she was
schoolmistress at St. Matthew, Bethnal-green work-
house, and on Sunday morning, the 29th of Septem-
ber, the defendant was assisting the storekeeper in
weighing out the dinners in the dining-hall. Witness
happened to lift up the top of a desk, and there saw
a plate of meat and potatoes covered over with an
apron, and inquired to whom it belonged. Defendant
said that was nu business of hers (witness), became
very violent in her temper, and took up a plate,
threatening to split her head with it. She was, how-
ever, prevented from carrying her threat into execu-
tion. This was at about twenty minutes past one
o'clock. Being thus prevented from striking her, the
defendant said that she would remember the witness,
and do what she (defendant) intended when she was
not aware of it. At about a quarter before two
o'clock she followed the witness with a tin pan in her
hand, and aimed a blow at her head, which would
have taken effect but for the interposition of a Sunday
tutor to the school, who came up and held her arm.
She W 23 then given into custody, and the following
day taken before a magistrate, who committed her for
trial.

B ARBADOES.

Our papers from this island are to the 7th inclusive,
being the latest published previous to the sailing of
the packet on the 9th.
The Legislative Council had closed. The Barba-
does Globe says
The session was brought to a close on Tuesday,
when the Council met and passed two Bills, which have
been assented to, and appear this day in our columns.
What has become of the Ballast Wharf Bill which
passed the Assembly at its last meeting, ~we do not
know, but we hope that there has been no neglect of the
strong and unanswerable appeal that was made to the
Legislature on this subject by the merchants, and that
the Act will come to us in course. While, w ith one
or two solitary exceptions, the session has been ex-
hausted in legislation upon objects which we shall nit
call Petty, but certainly of a minor character, we can
scarcely believe that there has been any attempt to stifle
an arrangement called aloud for by as large and re-
spectable a number of merchants as we ever knew to
append their names to any legislative petition—a work
closely and intimately connected with the proper police
of the port, and one which the contributors of our ton-
nage duties, no mean portion of the public revenue,
have a positive right to re quire. The charges on ship-
ping in Barbadoes are very heavy, and are the subject
of frequent and loud murmuring, and we ought in justice
to do a little more for the great number of vessels,
that, notwithstanding, come to us, than merely to offer
thi.m for their money the accommodation of an open
roadstead."
It was expected that the general election would
take place on the 25th of February. The writs had
not been issued when the packet left, and it was fully
expected that it would pats off quietly.
An accident had occurred to the quarantine boat
when the Conway, royal mail steamer, arrived with
the last English mails:—

On the arrival of that vessel she was made fast to
the moorings with a warp. The quarantine officer, as
in duty bound, proceeded alongside, gave the ship
praligue, stepped on deck to obtain a list of passeng. rs
for his Excellency's information, and immediately got
into his boat again, giving the order to shove off from
the bow. After loosing his hold firward, and while
lying broadside off, the order was given on board the
steamer to turn a head, which brought the mast head of
the quarantine boat in contact with the quarter boat of
the steamer's davitF, and consequently dragged her
along, broadside-or, until she filled and went down.
The crew iwere soon rescued by a shore boat, which,
with many others, were on the spot.
" Captain Wolley, of the Conway, is acquitted of all
suspicion of having known that the boat was alongside
when the order was given for turning a head. We are
quite sure On affair was purely accidental."

GREECE.

The Weiner Zeitung publishes the following tele
gaphic dispatch from Athens:—

ATHENS, FEB. 19, Six o'Clock.

" The French pest of the 7th has just brought the
intelligence that the mediation of France has been ac-
cepted.
" The ccercive measures will, therefore, cease, imme-
diately. _ _

" No explanation of any kind has been received on the
subject from the British Envoy.
" Tranquillity continues to reign. The Greek Go-
vernment and the nation persist up to this moment with
constancy." _

The Lloyds of the 25th says :
" According to a telegraphic dispatch received from
Trieste last night, the islands of Sapienza and Cervi
bad not been occupied by the British on the 14th cf
February, nor were they to be so. An imperial Aus•
trian ship of war had gone off from Trieste to Patras,
for the protection of Austrian trade. In the vicinity of

The Weiner Zeitung publishes the following tele
gaphic dispatch from Athens :

" ATHENS, FEB. 19, SIX O'Cii)ek.
" The French post of the 7th has just brought the
intelligence that the mediation of France has been ac-
cepted.

The cc( reis e measures will, therefore, cease, imme-
diately.

"No explanation of any kind Las been received on the
subject from the British Envoy.
"Tranquillity continues to reign. The Greek Go-
vernment and the nation persist up to this moment with
constancy."

The Lloyds of the 25th says :
" Accoroing to a telegraphic dispatch received from
Trieste last night, the islands of Sapienza and Cervi
had not been occupied by the British on the 14th of
February, nor were they to be so. An imperial Aus
trian ship of war had gone off from Trieste to Patras,
for the protection of Austrian trade. In the vicinity of
Patras there had been an ominous increase in the bands
of robbers."

LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 4, 1850.

The temporary postponement of Mr. MILNER
GIBiON'S motion on the subject of legislative impedi-
ments to the diffusion of knowledge is so far an ad •
vantage, in that it affords ample opportunity for an
expression of the popular opinion on this most popular
matter. On Friday evening Colonel THOMPSON, Mr.
MOWATT, and Mr. Grinsort presented petitions from
Bradford, Truro, and Sunderland, in favour of the aboli-
tion of the tax on paper and the advertisement duty.
This example should be followed throughout the king..
dom. The inhabitants of town and country, of city and
hamlet, the learned and the unlearned are alike con-
cerned in the retention or abolition of these, truly
denominated, impediments on the diffusion of know,
ledge. The learned and book-loving few are fleets•
sarily concerned in promoting a measure so mate.
rially calculated to- facilitate their enjoyment ol
literary treasures, but yet more espe-
cially are the unlearned and ignorant
many affected by enactments which virtually
deprive them (in a great degree) of the blessings and
pleasures of education. Such, in fact, is beyond con-
tradiction, the effect of these pernicious taxes of
which the Right Hon. Member tor Manchester ad-
vocates the abolition. When the subject comes
under the consideration of the Rouse, we may antici-
pate a debate of unusual interest, but in the
meantime it is no less than the duty of all those who
duly estimate the popular importance of, the question
to strengthen the hands of the legislative upholders
of the abolition by a prompt and unanimous expres-
sion of their sentiments. Petitions from all quarters
should load the table of the House—public
meetings should attest the public feeling;
Without this sort of " pressure from without'
few reforms, especially in taxation, are at-
tainab'e. There are many subjects now under
or awaiting the attention of Parliament, with which
the well-being of the community is closely connected,
but this proposition of Mr. GIBSON'S " for the aboli-
tion of taxes impeding the diffusion of knowledge,"
is well qualified to take its place side-by-side with
the most important. The physical, the mental, and
the moral health of the people go hand in hand. No
wise legislator will seek to separate them. Therefore
while, under the directions of sanitary commissioners,
we close grave-yards, construct drain% and build
well-
ventilated dwellings) and baths and washhouses for
the promotion of the bodily welfare of the million,
and while we establish and endow schools (as
would to GOD we had done earlier 0 wherein
children of all classes and of all creeds
may be trained in the way -in which
they should go—while we do this does it not. appear a
very part of the same beneficent system that the uni-
versal dissemination of knowledge should be promoted
and not prohibited by enactments of the Legislature ?
To the novel readers of the. boudoir it may possibly
matter not whether the la;t new fiction cost a little
gore or leas, but to the humble artisan or the poor

LAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS
The acknowledged efficacy of BLAIR'S GOUT axd

MATIC PILLS, by the continued series of testimonials which

been sent to and published by the proprietor for nearly twenty years,
has rendered this medicine the most popular of the present age ; :mil
in corroboration of which the following extract of a letter, written
by John Mollard Wheeler, EFq., Collector of Customs, Jamaica, hav-
ing been handed by his brother, at Swindon, to Mr. Front for publi-
cation, will fully confirm.
" I know yon have never had occasion to take Blair's Pills, but

let me emphatically tell you, in merento any friend who may stiffer
from gout, rheumatic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or any
branch of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using them.
In this country they are of wonderful efficacy : not only am I person-
ally aware of their powers, but I see my friends and acqu • intances
receiviw unfailing benefit from their use. I would not be without
them on any accoent. If taken in the early stage of disease they
dissipate it altogether; if in a later, they alleviate pain and effect a
much speedier cure than by any other means within my knowledge."
Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and by his appoint-

Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

BOW-STREET.

John Fitzgerald, a boy about twelve years of age,
was brought before Mr. Henry, cherged with obtain-
ing money under false representations in a very
genious manner.

Thomas Robinson, a boy of Equal age with the
prisoner, in the service of Mr. Browne, draper, of
Davies-street, Berkeley square, said that on Thursday
last his master gave him tnree parcels to deliver at
King-street, where he received 21. 175.; another in
Parliament-street, where he was to receive 21. Cs. ;
and a third in Bunhill-row ; and immediately On
starting on his journey he was met by the prisoner,
with whom he was well acquainted, and he consented
to accompany him. When he arrived at Bunhill row
the prisoner said, " I shall hold one of the parcels
while you deliver the other at No. 1)5," which he
agreed to, and gave it to prisoner, who sat at the step
of a door to await his return, but be was no sooner
out of sight than the prisoner disappeared, and it was
subsequently discovered that he had gone to Rudia-
merit- street, where the parcel of goods had been di-
rected to, and having delivered it, obtained the

amount, for which he gave a receipt, as if he had been
in Mr. Browne's service.
City Police-constable 204 said that he went with
the vines to a low coffee-house where he appre-
hended the prisoner, who was in company with a
number of young thieves, at one o'clock in the morn-
ing, and it appeared that he had procurad an Outfit
with the money he had obtained, Ilia clothes being
quite new. In addition to the present case there
were three other charges of robbery against Lim.
Mr. HENRY said it was quite clear no portion of
the money would be recovered, and ordered the pri-
soner to be remanded for the attendance of the Lidy
who had paid him for the goods.

acknowledged speed, was not looked for until Tues-
day or Wednesday at least.
The freight of the Severn is 971,226 dollars on
merchants' accounts, 23,612 ounces of gold dust (the
total value of which two items is 1,409,388 dollars),
two boxes of platina, 12,0641. in British coin, 112
bales of sarsaparilla, 421 serons of indigo, a quantity

at Trinidad, the last vessel having arrived that day
from Bermuda with dispatches far the Admiral.
Feb. 7—Her Majesty's steamer Vixen was at Ja-
maica, awaiting the arrival of the Admiral from Tri-
nidad. Her Majesty's ship Sappho, having repaired
her damages at Belise, sailed thence for Jamaica on
the Ist of January, but she had not arrived at the
latter place when the Severn left.

Then company's steam-ship Thames was in the Gulf
of Mexico. The Tay was spoken by the Severn on
the l2th of February, off Porto Rico, en route to
Jamaica. The Teviot had not returned to Jamaica
from Havannab, having bad to wait for the Trent's
mails.
