protected Female, was produced here last evening ; it

bodied by Mrs. Stirling, who kept the audience in a
roar of laughter at her misfortunes, mishaps, and
miseries. The farce was preceded by a revival of
Fielding's comedy of The Miser, which was capitally

KILRUSII UNION.

Mr. P. SCROPE wished to know if the Secretary for
Ireland was in a position to give any information to the
House in reference to the deaths from starfation which
had occurred in consequence of out-door relief being
refu.e3 to paupers at the Kilrus:h Union, while the
guardians were in possession of funds?
Sir W. SOMERVILLE was afraid it was not in his
power to give his Honourable Friend so satisfactory an
adswer as perhaps he had a right to expect, and which
certainly it was his desire always to give to
questions put to him of this kind. He must
throw bimseif upon the indulgence of the House, as
it was quite impossible fir him to procure
the information required with only twenty-four
hours' notice, but relying upon such ir.formation
as ho had received btfore notice of these questions was
given he could state that was quite true that in De-
cember last a large number of persons who were in the
receipt of daily allowances teased to receive ti at allow-
ance in the Kiliush Union. It was caused by a want
of means on the } art of the guardians, the contractors
; acing relitel to supply them wish the necessary provi-
sions for making the allowances. From the same
cause it was equally bus that, for a very short tie e,
the tecessity was (breed upon the guardians of sit( rang
the dietary within the walls of the workhouse; but he
d his Hen. Fri nd and the House to remember
:hat during the time the d my allowance ceased to be dis-
tributed to the paupers there was room for several hun-
dred persons within the walls of the workhouse.

AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS.

Mr. TAYLOR presented a petition from the county of
Kerry, praying for the imposition of such a moderate
fixed duty on the importation of corn as would relieve
the agricultural distress in that county.
Lord BERNARD presented a petition from a place
in Cork, complaining t.f agricultural distress.
LAW OF SETTLEMENT.

Mr. DISRAELI asked the Chiet Commissioner of
the Poor-laws when the reports of the Commit ee on the
law of: settlement would be laid upon the table of the
House?

Mr. BAINES said he had had an interview with the
Secretary fur the Home Department on the subject, and
he (Mr. Baines) hoped to be able to place the report in
question on the table of the [louse to-morrow.
NOTICES OF MOTIONS.

Mr. DISRAELI fixed his motion on the subject of
the poor-laws for this day fortnight.
Mr. P. SCROPE gave notice that this day fortnight
he should call the attention of the House to the exter-
mination of Irish peasantry which bad been carried on
for some time past, under the sanction of the law, and
with the aid of the executive in the Kilrush and other
unions in the west of Ireland.

Sir R. H. INGLIS rose to order. He thought the
rule was, that no expression of opinion ought to be con-
veyed in any notice of motion.
Mr. P. SCROPE thanked the Hon. Baronet for his
suggestion, and promised to alt3r the phraseology of his
notice before he placed it on the paper.

ITALY,

In the sitting of the 30th ult. of the Chamber of
Deputies of Turin, the Bill for the establishment of a
school of commerce at Genoa, was passed by a
majority of 104 to 25. The Chamber then took into
consideration a proposition for fixing a limit to the
salaries of public functionaries. A Bill for a credit
of 8,289 f. to be applied to the navy was also passed
by a majority of forty-three to seven. In the Senate
the Bills concerning charitable establishments in Sar-
dinia and Turin, were agreed to without opposition.
The Piedmontese Gazette of the 31st ult. contains
the following notice :—" The Italians of the Lom-
bardo-Venetian Provinces, who :may be desirous of
addressing themselves to the Austrian Government,
are informed that they may henceforward apply
directly to the constituted authorities in those pro-
vinces, or to the Austrian Embassy at Turin."
The Leghorn banker, M. BASTOOT, has informed
the Tuscan Government that he has sold 3,000 bonds.
of the new loan at 90 and 91 per cent., so that only

ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION.

Mr. E. DENISON wished to ask the Noble Lord at
the head of the Government what course he intended to
pursue in reference to the Ecclesiastical Commission,
and whether, in the event cf his bringing forward alp
measure upon the subject, he would have any objection
to introduce rules for Ow improved management of
Church lands?
Lord J. RUSSELL said, with respect .to the first
question, he begged to state that a Bill had brew pre-
pared on the subject of the Ecclesiastical
Commission ; but as there was likely to he
a good deal of business in this house, it had
been determined to introduce it first into the House of
Lords, and the Marquis of Lansdowne would present it
this very night. With regard to the second question
respecting Church property, his Honourable Friend eras
aware that a Commission had been investigating that
subject, and after much discussion and inquiry it had
prepared a report which had already been presentßl to
Ler Majesty, and which Government hoped this evening
to be ab:e to present to the House.

THE NATIONAL CONCERTS.

Mr. Balfe's new " Hunting Chorus" was performed
for the first time on Saturday, with complete success.
It is a composition quite characteristic of the subject,
and is sung by a limited, but carefully selected,
English chorus. It is instrumented for violoncellos,
trombones, and horns only, and each class of voice
—the first and second tenors, and the first and second
basses—has separate passages. The composition is
replete with animation, and fully partakes of the
sylvan character. The most striking feature in the
chorus is where it is necessary to describe the death
of the stag, and the music suddenly changes from the
boisterous and animated to the subdued and plaintive.
The chorus was rapturously encored.

LEVANT MAIL.

By the Levant mail we have received Constanti-
nople journals to the 24th, and Athens journals to the
28th ult., both inclusively. They contain no political
news of interest, but we find in the Journal de Con-
stantinople, of the 24th, the following account of a
horrible accident :—" Yesterday, at about ten in the
morning, the port was shaken to its foundation by a
horrible explosion. This was caused by the blowing
up of the Niere Chefket of 120 guns, carrying
the Admiral's flag, near the arsenal, in the midst
of the Ottoman fleet. The powder magazine
caught fire, and in a few minutes the port
was covered with ruins and dead bodies. The
ship was five minutes before she sank, and then dis-
appeared with the exception of her maintopmast. Six
or seven hundred men were on board when the fright-
ful catastrophe occurred, and of this number about two
hundred only were picked up floating in the water."
Letters from Zara, of the 29th ult., state that the
Sultan's troops in Bosnia had invested the fortress of
Mostar, and that the rebels would shortly be obliged
to yield. The intelligence from other parts of the
Herzegowina is also favourable to the Turkish Go-
vernment..

We learn from Trieste that on the 2d a telegraphic
dispatch arrived there from Vienna with orders to
place all the steamers of the Lloyd Company at the
disposal of the Government, to convey 20,000 men of
the army of Italy to Trieste.

LYCEUM THEATRE.

On Saturday evening the performances at this
house, which had been suspended for upwards of a
week, owing to the severe accident which temporarily
deprived Mr. C. Matthews of the use of his hand,
were resumed. No novelty was produced ; but
the theatre, although not positively crowded, was ex
tremely well filled, and the audience manifested their
condolence to the manager on his misadventure, and
their pleasure at his return by a cordial welcome, and
frequent bursts of applause as he made his points.
We are glad to find that the injury was not more se-
rious. Little diminution—if indeed any at all—was
discernible in the spirit and vivacity of his impersona-
tion, and his movements were as agile as ever.
With his usual adroitness Mr. Mathews made light
of the inconvenience of acting with his arm in a sling,
and the wounded band in a black bandage; and not
the slightest awkwardness was perceptible from that
embarrassing appendage—from which, however, we
wish him a speedy riddance.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENING.—AFFAIR OF HO-
NOUR BETWEEN THE MARVIS OF SLIGO AND Mr.
HIGGINS, M.P.—A hostile meeting took place
about half-past six o'clock this morning at the Fifteen
Acres, in the Phcenix-park, between the Marquis of
Sligo (who reached town yesterday from Westport-
house) and Mr. Ousely Higgins, M.P. for Mayo.
The Noble Marquis was attended by Mr. Moore,
M.P. for Mayo, as his second, and Captain Oakes of
the 17th Lancers acted as the friend of Mr. Higgins.
The parties had been placed on the ground, when the
second of one of them squibbed a pistol prior to
loading it. The noise alarmed a policeman stationed
in the vicinity of the Viceregal Lodge, who came up,
and all the prrties were taken into custody. In the
course of the forenoon they were brought before Mr.
O'Callaghan, the presiding magistrate at Henry-street
police-office, who required the principles and their
seconds to enter into securities to keep the peace, each
of them in personal recognizances to the amount of
2001., and two secureties of 1001. each. The parties
were then discharged.
It appears that the cause of quarrel arose at a meet-
ing of the poor-law guardians of the union of West-
pot t, where the Marquis of Sligo made some objec-
tion to Mr. Ousely
Higgins respecting his qualifica-
tion as an ex-officio guardian. That gentleman was
not then present, but his father, Captain Fitzgerald
Higgins, defended the qualification. Subsequently,
Mr. Ousely Higgins forwarded a letter to Lord Sligo,
containing language which was considered offensive.
The result was a hostile message from the Noble
Marquis, conveyed through Mr. Moore, M.P., and a
meeting for this morning was fixed to take place at
the Curragh of Kildare. The parties had arrived at
the King's-bridge terminus, to start for Kildare by
the half-
past six o'clock train, but it was then arranged
that they should decide the quarrel in the Phcenix-
park, a short distance from the terminus, where the
intervention of the police fortunately put an end to the
affair.

During last week the arrivals of Potatoes, coastwise
and by land carriage, were upwards of 4,000 tons,
wholly in good condition. From Rotterdam we recrived
148 bags 47 baskets; from Jersey, 7 tons; and from
Ireland, 6 barrels. On the whole the demand is in a
sluggish state, but no material change can be noticed in
the quotations.

WOOL.

The accounts from the manufacturing districts being
favourable, and the market scantily supplied, the de-
mand for moat kinds of Wool is decidedly firm, at very
full prices. Last week's imports into London amounted
to 61 bales from Hamburgh, 41 from Buenos Ayres,
1,572 from Sydney, 15 from Smyrna, 149 from Alex-
andria, and 16 bags from Ireland.

THE NATIONAL CONCERTS.

Mr. Balfe's new "Hunting Chorus" was performed
for the first time on Saturday, with complete success.
It is a composition quite characteristic of the subject,
and is sung by a limited, but carefully selected,
English chorus. It is instrumented for violoncellos,
trombones, and horns only, and each class of voice
—the first and second tenors, and the first and second
basses—has separate passages. The composition is
replete with animation, and fully partakes of the
sylvan character. The tnost striking feature i❑ the
chorus is where it is necessary to describe the death
of the stag, and the music suddenly changes from the
boisterous and animated to the subdued and plaintive.
The chorus was rapturously encored.
London, England, 1850-11-11

contend with in the sea itself. The war which they
waged against that crifty and determined adversary
was such as Mr. Quaker Bright himself might view
without alcm. They had no design to slaughter men,
and they viewed bloodshed with as much eorror as
the most sentimental philosepher3. They went to battle
with no other weapons but that grubbing tool (pointing to
the spade, which had been used in the ceremony of the
morning, and which was suspended over the chairman'a
head), and the only lust of conquest by which they were
actuated was a determination io compel the sea to their
yoke, and to make her subservient to the interests of hu-
manity.—(Hear, hear.) The land which they proposed
to reclaim would not fall beck into a state of waste—it
would generously compensate for the toils of the has-
headmen. Once reclaimed, they "[light grow wheat and
beans on it for ever, and then wheat and beans.—
(Laughter.) They were going to reap a harvest of wheat
from fields which now only yielded a crop of waves, and
they were willing to make a fair bargain with the towns-
people. They would say to them—we will buy your
goods if you will buy our corn. It was with a view to
bring about such a state of things as this that he for one
had joined the undertaking, and he was persuaded that,
viewed in that light, the project was as safe and sound an
investment as a practical farmer could possibly engage in.
He had spent years of his life in the dismal experiment
of turning heath into corn, and that, too, at a great ex-
pense, and he confes:.ed that he was sickened of the ope-
ration. Do what be might—toil as he might—spend as he
might—he found that his land after reclamation was
not worth more than 12s. per acre—(Laughter)—but
they bad now a fair prospect of reclaiming, at very little
expense, land which, at a moderate calculation, would
be worth 30s. or 40s. per acre. Where was the use of
repining and making fuss about the low price of corn,
which they could not help?— (Hear, hear, and laughter.)
'I here only course was to increase the production—they
should do what they could to make their own position
secure, and if they saw a neighbour sinking, they should
hold out their hand and help him up. That was the
way to go to work—thus only could they hope to pre-
serve self-respect, and the respect of the world. They
should meet their destiny like men, and not gime way to
selfish whimpering. The speaker concluded amid loud
and general applause by proposing " The health of the
Right Hon. Lord Orford, the High Steward of the
Borough," which was drunk with the usual honours.

The Earl of HARDWICKE proposed " The health of
Mr. J. Fryer, late Chairman of the Corporation of the
Bedford Level."
Mr. FRYER returned thanks.
Several other complimentary toasts followed, and the
company separated,
In the evening there were illuminations, and a display
of fireworks in the market place.

ITALY.

The Concordia of the 6th instant announces that
the Sardinian Chambers met on the preceding day to
organize their standing committees.
Count Camille Cavour, Minister of Marine, Agri-
culture, and Commerce, was elected deputy for Turin
on the sth.

The Risorgimento observes that only one deputy
for Savoy was present at his seat, and that the others
were no doubt concocting the interpellations which
the ultra-Catholic party intends to address to the
heretic Minister.

JAMAICA MARKETS.
(From De Cordova's Mercantile Intelligencer.)
Flour.—The arrivals of this article have been to an
unusually great extent, and the market is in some mea-
sure overstocked; nevertheless, prices are not so much
in favour of buyers as might have been expected.
Operations have been effected in Baltimore, at from 33s
to 31s, according to quantity and quality. Georgetown
has also been moved at 325, the balance of a cargo
rather dry and old was closed at 31s. There is still a
large quantity in importers' hands.
Meal is very dull, owing in a great measure to the
abundance of native vegetables. We quote the article
at 16s 6d a 17s, at wbich rates some sales have been
made.
Rice is plentiful. Several hundred bags Bengal have
been resold at 13s 6d per 100Ibs. Carolina is rather
quiet, with partial resales of the large lot sold at auction,
at 16s per 1001b.s, and reported in our last.
Butter-2.50 firkins Cork, were placed at Sid. in 3 lots,
and other sales of late arrivals have been made at 10d.
per lb., in small quantities, at which rate holders are
firm. We hrve not heard of any transactions in Ame-
rican. Halifax, of prime qunality, commands Bd., and
52 kegs have been taken thereat—for a parcel of inferior,
however, 61. could not Le got at auction.
Bread is' very quiet with a limited stcck, and sales
are confined to retail parcelt at lis for pilot and 22s for
crackers. Wattson'• command is. per barrel higher.
Mackerel—Last sales of prime were at 265. per barrel,
but the article is taken very slowly at this rate. There
are one or two parcels of inferior quality at mar-
ket, but we are mit aware if any offer has been made
for them.

Salmon-20 tierces Hudson's Bay Cc.'s, which had
been sold to arrive at 108 s. per trc. have bee❑ received.
27 barrels No. 3 from Halifax were taken, on arrival, at
603. but proving rusty were rejected and re-sold at 50s.
No. 1 is worth 683. per barrel.

Herrings are exceedingly scarce, with the exception
of a few barrels in a cargo of Halifax, which sold at
Os. per barrel ; there arc not any prime at market.
Alewives are beeoming scarce. Full weight barrels,
No. 1, command IBs a 20s.
Oil—The last arrival of Cod—a few barrels only— re-
alized 3e. 3d. per gallon. The article is wanted.

LY CEUM THEATRE.

On Saturday evening the performances at this
house, which had been suspended for upwards of a
week, owing to the severe accident which temporarily
deprived Mr. C. Matthews of the use of his hand,
were resumed. No novelty was produced ; but
the theatre, although not positively crowded, was ex-
tremely wen filled, and the audience manifested their
condolence to the manager on his misadventure, and
their pleasure at his return by a cordial welcome, and
frequent bursts of appleuse as he made his points.
We are glad to find that the injury was not more se-
rious. Little diminution—if indeed any at all—was
discernible in the spirit and vivacity of his impersona-
tion, and his movements were as agile as ever.
With his usual adroitness Mr. Mathews made light
of the inconvenience of acting with his arm in a sling,
and the wounded hand i❑ a black bandage; and not
the slightest awkwardness was perceptible from that
embarrassing appendage—from which, however, we
wish him a speedy riddance.

HOLROTD V. GRIFFITHS.

This case came before his Honour upon the excep-
tions to the Master's report, allowing exceptions taken
by the plaintiffs to the answer of the defendants. The
case relates to questions of account between the defen-
dants, who are merchants in London, and the plaintiffs,
who are merchants at, Calcutta. The case, which is
of no interest except to the parties, occupied the Court.
the whole morning.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

WILLIAMS v. MORGAN.

This was an action of replevin, brought to try the
right of the defendant to somewhere about 1,000 acres of
unenclosed lands, in the county of Brecon. The trial
was before Mr. Baron Parke, at the last assizes for Bre-
conshire, and lasted four days, the result being a verdict
for the defendant. . .

Mr. Sergeant HERBERT JONES this morning applied
to the Court for a rule to show cause why the verdict
should not be set aside, and a new trial had, on the
grounds that the verdict was contrary to evidence, and
of misdirection on the part of the Learned Judge.
The question involved is the case was whether certain
lands called Monetb-y.gloth,- which is Welsh for the
Mountain of the Rock, was called or reputed to be held
as part, parcel, or member of one of certain farms which
were conveyed to one Reynold Davis, an ancestor of the
defendant, by Lord Jersey in 1819. The points in
the argument were only interesting to the parties con-
cerned.
Lord CAMPBELL said he was of opinion that there was
no misdirection on the part of the Learned Judge who
tried the cause. With respect to the evidence, he would
consult Mr. Baron Parke before deciding whether the
rule should he granted on the ground of the verdict being
contrary to the evidence.
The rest of the judges concurred in the propriety of
this course.

THE UNITED STATES.

ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA.
LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY EVENING.
The British and North American Royal Mail
steam-ship America, Captain Sharmon, passed Holy-
head at a very early hour this morning, and arrived
here about mid-day.
This fine vessel left Boston on the 30th ult., made
the fortnightly call at Halifax on the 2d, and brings
from 60 to 70 passengers. The news is not important
so far as the United States are concerned.i
The advices from Mexico, however, are important
to the commercial world. The state of financial
affairs in that
.country was so disastrous that the Fi-
nance Minister felt himself compelled to announce
his determination of suspending payments, unless he
were authorised to draw upon the one and a half
million of dollars which still remained of the American
indemnity.
From Port-au-Prince we learn that the Domini-
cans
were resorting to the strongest possible measures
in order to repel the threatened invasion of the Haytian
people.
Advices from Havannah do not speak encou-
ragingly of the affairs of Cuba. The island had been
thrown again into ferment by fresh reports of an in-
vasion.
The Canadian intelligence does not possess a feature
worth extracting.
From our United States news we learn that the
Fugitive Slave Bill was more unpopular than ever.
The greatest obstacles were thrown in the way of those
of the authorities who were resolute in the carrying
out of its provisions.

COMMERCIAL NEWS.

The Money-market at New York, since the depar-
ture of the Arctic, had been very easy. Money was
plentiful, and could be obtained at very moderate
rates. The general trade of the country continues in
the same satisfactory condition as before. Exchange
on London, 1101 1101 (the market was very firm);
on Hamburgh, 36 to 36f.
The market for breadstuffs was rather quiet, and
not many transactions reported. Holders were wait-
ing further advices from England. Prices were as
follows :—Western Canal flour, 4 dolls. 50c. to 4 dolls.
6...4e. (very firm) ; Crenessee prime wheat, doll.
12c. to 1 doll. 14c. per 601b5.; Indian corn, round
yellow, 68c. to 70c. per bushel.
The cotton market at New York and other ports
had been most active since the Arctic's departure.
Large sales had been made and prices had advanced.
The following are the latest quotations in the New
York market :—Uplands and Florida mid. fair to fair,
I.li to 15.
Freights were unaltered and steady.

CIRR W. COLE.

This was an action of trespass to recover a compensa-
tion in damages for,tho injuries alleged to be sustained
by one .tiosetta Carr, an infant suing by her next friend,
who was run over by the defendant's cart. The plaintiff
was nonsuited on the trial, and in the course of last week
Mr. Hawkins, on the part of the plaintiff, moved for a
rule nisi to set aside the nonsuit and enter a verdict for
101. damages. The Costa took time to consider their
decision.

Lord C A MPBELL this morning said he was of opinion
that the rule should be refused. The ground on which
the Court proceeded was that the action was one of tres-
pass on the case, and that the plea of not guilty raised
the issue as to whether there was negligence or not on
the part of the defendant, and as the jury found that
there no negligence, the Court were of opinion that the
verdict ought not to be disturbed.
Rule refused accordingly.

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice PATTESON.)
GRAY v. )lANNINGSLY.
Mr. CLEASBY was instructed, on behalf of Mr. Gray,
to move for leave to file articles of peace against a gen-
tleman named Manningaly. Mr. Gray, who was in
court, was formerly a cotton-qinner at Glasgow, re-
ceiving a considerable income from his business, and
Mr. Manniugsly was a woollen cloth merchant, at lad-
been previous transactions between them, Mr. Gray was
der.field. At the beginning of this year, there having
inducA to enter into a verbal agreement of partnership
