LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1845.

There are few institutions more important to civilised
society than a good domestic police. There are none
in the heads of which the powers confided by the State
are so liable to abuse. It would seem as if to the func-
tions of arrestirg criminals and personally detecting
crimes, a latitude of authority were necessary which
was i❑ itself productive, in :hose who exercised it, of
that criminality which they are charged to take cogni-
zance of in others. Such a tendency is attributable,
perhaps, in an equal degree to the m cessarily inferior
diameter of the class of men who will consent to
become members of what may be called the
"Criminal Executive." But it has been always reason-
ably enough presumed that in consideration of more
careful seh ction, increased pay, and improved
superintendence, the character, as well as the efficiency
of a domestic police, may be certainly enhanced where
it has become, from its inadequate establishment, very
much deteriorated. Now this, precisely, is the process
Which was adopted on effecting the substitution of the
New Police constabulary, or Metropolitan Police, in the
place•of that most dilapidated of constabulary staffs—
the "Old Watch" of London. Whatever objections of
a constitutional nature might be, and really were, urged
against Sir ROBERT PEELS half •military and ostenta-
6ously organized "pen-d'a r inerie"—and they were grave
ones—nothing could be excepted to the establishment,
and pay vs hick he assigned to it, except, indeed,
on the score of its excess. This pay since the

riginal constitution of the force has been in-
creased, both to the various officers, superintendeuts,
inspectors, &c., and the sergeants and men ; —and still
-store recently, the salaries of the two Commissioners
were fixed at a scale which reached the utmost verge of
liberality. Under these circumstances, the public has a
right to expect on the part of the men the best conducted
deportment and attention to their duty ; on the part of
the Commissioners the most exact and careful superinten-
dence over all the arrangements and details of he force.
But we lament to observe that the cases of flagrant delin-
quency on the part of constables of this well-paid, well-
appointed, and very favoured body seem to increase
every year, both in number and character. It
is a scandal to the whole body that such numerous
instances of attsmptcd extortion, subornation, pilfsring,
violence, and cruelty, should have to be brought under
magisterial notice in the period of a few months, as
those in which we find policemen implicated as prin-
cipals or accessories. A collection of such cases, care•
fully extracted from the reports of our district police -
offices and the records of the Central Criminal Court
since the passing of the 10 GEo. IV., in June, 1829,
would show—we are convinced—a larger aggregate of
criminal effences by police-constables than could be
brought against any other body constituted under •
equally favourable regulations and inducements for
good conduct, and bearing similar proportions as to
t'ieir aggregate force, the relative numbers of officers
a-id men, But we do not propose, now, to enter
upon any of the ohjeetions of principle, or the confide-
rations of policy and expediency which we could adduce
as bearing on the general question of the merits or demerits
of this scheme of police. We have merely to direct at-
tention to two cases that. we published in our impression
of Saturday last. The one (copied from the Devizes
Gazette), to the effect that a man, formerly an inepector
of the Wilts police, is in custody at Bath, charg,el with
stealing a silver hammer and a cash-b x containing 80/.
The other is the case of a police-constable of the F di-
vision, charged with having absconded "from the force''
with 201. received by him "in his official" capacity.
This man, having apprehended a woman on suspicion of
robbing a sailor on the preceding night, attended with
the culprit at an early hour on Friday morning befare
the inspector at the Bow-strest station, and handed
over to him five 51. Bank of England notes, two gold
sovereigns, and 21s. in silver, which he said he had
fouiri on the prisoner. This money uns given back to the
policeman when he brought the charge, in due course,
before the sitting magistrate.; he was ordered to return

the poor seaman one of the• 51 notes to enable him t°
joist Caledonil, at Plymouth, and he was beulld
to return the rem Aider to the inspector. before 100°
he had reported the ci,se—to await further proceedings,
and t•o be secured fur the sailor. This was not done.
On the following evening he was reported " not 011
daty." The suspicions of his " superior r.:fficer.," w*Cre
immediately aroused. It was ascertained he had O'
scowled from his lodgings ; and he was som discovere
in a house of a like infamous character with th''t
in which the sailor had been plundered. 20/ 7s. were
found undcr the bed in which he was taken, and he
acknowledged it was part of the money he had ear
be.zatd.

Oa the first of these cases, the examination of the ac-
cused not being before us, we shall make no further
comment at present, than to observe thst the imputed
delinept- nsy is of a kind which has become so common
a charge of Lae against constsbulary officers of this
description, that it almost csases to shock one, as it
assuredly would do, bad net tile frequency of such au'
nouncenients neutralised the impression they ought 0"
turally to produce on the public mind.
On the latter case, we cannot help arriving at the
conclusion, that, in spite of all the nauseating atfcctatioa
of military arrangements end gradations of rank, ul'ich
these police affairs always exhibit, this system of eon'
stabulsry is a very vicious anal imperfect one. Wbell
the under-constabla took charge of the money at fuer
or five o'clock in the morning, why was it Iv;
turned to him by the upper-constable, instead
of being duty entered with all particulars,
on the " sheet "—aci,nowledged ssme proper prinrs°
form to the under-constable—and brought lore and hY
the upper one (i. e., " the superior officer ") befere the
magistrate, on bringing up the case for hearing ser.ae
hours arterwards ? To return money under such or"
curustances was at least to subject it to new jeoPar4.!
to the ultimate loss of the plundered seaman ; for lb'
delinquent, GUY, of the !F division, without dreatanlg
of the embezzlement he afterwards committed, ragi),&
have innocen;ly lost it in the very first street brawl 11j
wh'ch he might lfave been called upon to interfere ela .
way home. And then, what were the superior Officer'
f
about, when they found that this " private," instead °A
returning from the office straight to his inspector, en
'i
paying over the money, according to the "genera-
orders"
of the "service," did not appear 11"
the station all day=to let the matter stand over till the
" evening muster or parade," when he was first reported
" not on duty ?" A little alacrity, and managerr.ee,
might surely have tracked the offender to his hitr3b
place long before he bad changed or expended one a tbe
51. Bank notes, the property of the sailor? It is obst°lls
to common sense that such a system of returning la°llxel
found on the person of a prisoner to one of these in
ccrs, is to expose him to the double damser of teraPtie:
flint to the commission :of a crime—and sets's, 11°/.';
the lawless community through whose haunts he is
obliged to move, to outrage and violence againo
himself, under the impression that be carried
booty about his person during a -certain 13°'0
tion, at least, of the day. We find that
cg
Inspector, DODD, said, " it was the duty of all constah
lor
to attend at the station-house after the disposal he
charges with which they were concerned, to report ter
result of the examination, and to deliver up whate:fs
property might come into their hands. This was ilizr-,;`,1
done without any express directions flora the inspeftor"
duty." And why do there exist no such express (hire;
tions? Is it thought that it would be consider( din
treA
cats, forsooth, to the police-constables to issue se-ii
instructions, on the ground that they would ills
a doubt of their possible susceptibility t°
,hat
temptation of theft ? We are at a losS to nuargine 7.0
ease they have made out to be entitled to exeroPti°ll,,..lpes
such ordinary precautions on the part of their s- fig
riors. The prisoner, C Ily, is stated to be "111°L,susa
man of highly-respectable connexions. He had Sea
in the police force about six months, having
much-e
bought out of the army by his friends." We ,'CrY of

The infbrmatien communicated this morning to the HlCT-
catitilit public, cur Contemporary the Morning Herald,
that the Zoliverein t-eaty very recently settled is favourable
to British menufac: tires, as no increase of duties is to be
made, has. given grei.t s:Ai:faction to the merchants here.
Still, lion ever, there are in the minds of many very serious
apprehensions that the TIMS is too good to be true,
apecially after 0 ceminueicati,n n Lich eppeared in the Leeds
llercurf; ui ::•tult, day ia,t, that the tariff had been altered to
ae prejudice tf our trade. At all events sanguine expecta-
iions are enterudoed that if any change has really
been mate, it wdl not be so inimical to British in-
terests as was so eeeerally expected some time since.
A rather severe fall hat ttolten place in the quotations of •
this Funds this moaning, Innught about principally by sales
of money stock. There was also a considerable desire shown
to Beer the prices by speculators fur the Accounts.
There is net any truth in the reprt that has been
circulate:, rather freely in the City, that the Sa-
yings' It mks depositors have withdrawn largely
their e. .h -r the purpose of making deposits upon railway
shares ; stiff: mercy to a larger amount is required to pay
deposits upon railway allot:cents, and this will keep the
market tight for some time to come, no doubt, and the sails-
tattery remit he produced of driving out of the market
all the trashy schemes for new railways that have been set
afloat, and also ;at an end to the concoction of others.
Siece the preceding remarks were written there has been
.isiderable rally in the Stock Market, amounting to not
a than % per cent. Consols have recovered from 96% to
71% for l';foney, and from 9634 to 9734 for the Account.
'very effort possible has been made to excite alarm in the
'y, but with only temporary success. The attempt to de-
,he market for Consuls and other investments is made
.arties who desire quotations to be very much
, so that they may come in upon the most
advantageous terms. The Reduced Three per Cent. Annui-
ties have improved from 95% to 961 x, and the New Three-
and-a-Quarbir per Cents. from 97% to 95%. Exchequer-bills
opened at 405., but have rallied to 435. Bank Stock has
advanced to 207.
There were but few bargains quoted in the Foreign Stocks
eed, as was the state of our own Funds, priced opened
iy heavily at the commencement of business. The
uese Four per Cents. have been sold at 581$, a decline
per cent.; the Spanish Three per Cents. at 36% ; the
.cch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 583/4 ; and the Mexican
ive per Cents. at 311,4
The Railway Share Market has been supported a great
deal better than might have. been anticipated. In fact, some
of the best Shares have improved—such as the Liverpool and
Manchester, the London and Birmingham, the Northern and
Eastern, &c. The Foreign lines are pretty 6rni, the fall in
them being slight indeed.

EXTRAORDINARY PROCEDURE

OF A SOLICITOR TO A RAILWAY COMPANY.

itGuilahall on Saturday, after disposing of the ordinary
night charges, and a few summonses, Mr. F. D. Lewis, of the
firm of Lewis and Lowe, advertising agents of 3, Castle-
court, Cornhill, made application to the presiding magistrate,
Aliderman Wilson, under the following remarkabie circum-

s;cances :
It appears that the firm which Mr. Lewis represented, were
recommended some short time since by parties for whom they
had transacted business en an extensive scale, to Mr. Ingleby
Thomas Miller,. solicitor, of 3, Abehurch-lane, City, to manage
the advertisements of the Oxford, Witney, Cheltenham, and
Gloucester Independent Railway Company, which Mr.
Miller was then promoting, and of which he is still the legal
adviser. Mr. Lewis stated that he had agreed to cause the
insertion of whatever advertisements of the undertaking might
be issued in whatever newspapers the parties desired, and that
he was to receive, when he required, some mcney on account,
and in pursuance of this k.reement he applied to Mr. Ingleby
Thomas Miller fur a portion of the same when he had
gone to considerable expense, and credited the Company se-
vered hundreds of pounds. Instead, however, of meeting the
agreement, Mr. Miller found it convenient to shuffle and
postpone indefinitely the settlement of the advertising ac-
count, which amounted to 6271.

CORN EXCHANCE.—MONDAY.
The nest week's arri-.-als of Engii.i Wheat for (=market,
colAwi..w, were oa a moderately extemive scale, but of very
middling quality, e.pet-ifilly rt relates to the parcels of new
receive al from Cambridge-shire. Of other gra:a of home
produce, exccpt Peas, the receipts were limited. The imports
of f 'reign Wheat and Oats ivcre on the increase ; but only a
small supply of O. is reached us from Ireland. Fresh up,
coastwise as well as by land, carriage and sample, very little
This. together wNevitilltad

coming more favourable as relates to the in-gathering
outstinding crops, c.:,used the demand (no:withstand-
tabefairaamvoeurarte qtrmtity.tohtet
, the large attendance of bosh town and country buyers)
be less active than for some time past. Nevertheless, a
all average amount of business was doing in the article, end
,:he advance noticed in the quotations on Monday last Was
steadily supported. The show of tine Foreign Wheat was
by no meats large. The best qualities of both red and
white commanded a steady, though rot to say brisk
•nquiry, and la't week's prices were obtained in every in-
tance. The middling and inferior kinds, however, com-
mitted very little attention, yet they were not considered
_ A few parcels of Wheat, Barley, and Oat=, under
;ck, were taken for Speculative purposes. For shipment
there was little or no inquiry. Scarcely any English Barley
was on show, while the supply of fire Foreign was small.
The Barley trade was active., and extreme prices were
paid for selected parcels of both old and new. Superfine
old Malt was the turn dearer' with an active demand.
The value of other kinds was maintained without difficulty.
Although upwards of 16,000 quarters of Oats came to hand
from Ireland last week, very few Oats were on offer to-day.
The Oat trade was, therefore, brisk, at an improvement on
act Monday's quotations of from is to 2s per quarter, at
1 the whole were speedily cleared off. The supply of
'cans was by no means large, yet the sale was rather
mactive, at late rates. Peas, from their abundance, moved
off slowly, at about stationary prices. The Flour trade was
steady,.at full quotations. In Seeds, rather more business
was doing.

Since this day se'nnight, the imports of live stock into
London have consisted of 30 Oken, 34 Cows, and 400 Sheep
from Rotterdam ; 35 Oxen and 16 Cows from Harlingen; and
26 Oxen from Hamburgh, all by steamers. At Southampton,
24 Oxen have been landed from Spain ; and at Hull, 90
Beasts and 200 Sheep, from Rotterdam. To-day we had on
sale 105 Oxen and Cows, together with 300 Sheep, from Hol-
land and Germany, as als:i 6 Oxen from Spain. The general
quality of this stock was tolerably good, and nearly the whole
found buyers, at full prices. Fresh up from, our
own districts a larger supply of beasts came to
hand this innrning-2,000 having reached us from the
Northern, 600 from the Eastern, and 400 from the Western
and tilidland Counties. From Scotland we recieved 100, and
from Ireland 110 beasts, the remainder of the supply being
chiefly derived from the neighbourhood of the metropolis.
Notwithstanding, the quality of the beasts was better than
we have noticed for some months past, the Beaf
trade, owing to the large attendance of buyers,
was somewhat active at an advance in the quo-
tations obtained on Monday last, of 2d per 281bs and at
which a good clearance was effected. The numbers of Sheep
were on the decrease, owing to which the Mutton trade was
brisk, and previous rates were freely supported. In Calves
—the supply of which was small—a good business was doing,
at our quotations. The Pork trade was active, at very full
rites

NMI/VA= AND xmaxmrirriazz,
We have to report the arrival of very moderate time-of-
year supplies of slaughtered meat from Scotland, and various
parts of England : yet they have proved of fair average
quality. With meat killed in the metropolis we have been
fairly supplied while the demand for the priniest Mutton,
Veal, and Pork, has ruled firm, at full rates of currency.
Otherwise the trade has been rather inactive, yet the quota-
tions have undergone no material alteration. About thirty
carcases of Foreign beasts and 200 ditto of Sheep have been
disposed of, at about previous rates.
At per stone, by the Carcase.

ink the offal.

Her Majesty the Queen Dowager attended the afternoon
service in St. George's Chapel Royal. The Viscountess Bar-
rington, the Marchioness of Worcester, and the Earl of Den-
bigh, were in her Majesty's suite.
Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, attended by the
Viscountess Barrington and the Earl of Denbigh, left Marl-
borough House in a carriage and four at a quarter before
three o'clock on Saturday afternoon, on a visit to the Queen
at Windsor Castle.

In consequence of this Mr. Lewis called upon Alderman
Sir James Duke, member of the Managing Committee, and
after having explained the circumstances of thecase,obtained
the worthy Akirmati's promise that at the next meeting of
the Committee he would bring the matter under their con-
sideration. Mr. Len is expecting as the result of this pro -
mise, that their account would be either settled or a cheque
given them for a portion if it, called at the offices of the
Company, 56, Gracechureh-street, when he
_was peremp-
torily told to leave the office by Mr, Miller; and thus, in-
stead of receiving, as he had a right to expect, the settle-
ment of his just claim, lie was subjected to the gross inci-
vility of being ordered to leave the office. A few days after
this occurrence Mr. Lewis was stopped in the street by
Alderman Sir James Duke, who then informed him that a
cheque on account for 2001. bad been drawn in favour of the
firm, and properly signed on the preceding Friday. Acting
on this information, Messrs. Lewis and Lowe sent to the
office for the cheque, when the clerk was told by Mr.
Miller, the solicitor, " that lie knew nothing whatever about
it " After this Mr. Miller withdrew into the committee-room,
but the clerk, not daunted by the lying rebuff, waited until
Mr. Miller again made his appearance, when he re-
peated his demand for the cheque, inquiring at
the same time if Mr. Miller positively would deny there
was a cheque for Messrs. Lewis and Lowe; upon which Mr.
Miller retreated into the committee-room, and after the
lapse of a few moments the cleric entered the board-room,
and was provided with a chair by Mr. Hill. the Chairman of
the Committee; and after a few remarks respecting the ac-
count from Mr. Miller, and a few objections also as to the
giving up cf the cheque, Mr. Hill observed that there could
be no came for detaining the cheque, and immediately pre-
sented it.
Mr. Lewis on the present occasion applied to the magis-
trate for advice as to how he should proceed for the re-
covery of the remainder of his claim, as on the day pre-
vious-(Friday) he had called upon Mr. Miller at the com-
pany's offices fur the balance, when for the third time he was
superciliously ordered to quit the office, and when lie de-
clined doing so until he was first paid, a policeman was sent
for, who on his arrival, although ordered to turn out Mr.
Lewis, declined doing so, as he had no authority, but would
have no objection to take him into custody if Mr. Miller
would prefer a charge against him. This Mr. Miller most
positively declined doing, whereupon the policeman left the
office ; and Mr. Lewis, not being able to obtain any
satisfactory promise or explanation, of his own accord
left the office. Now Mr. Lewis, from past treatment,
did not know but that Mr. Miller had in his pos-
session a cheque for the amount of the balance of
Messrs. Lewis and Lowe's account, while he was so grossly
outraging the common courtesies of life. And he deemed it
his duty to the public as a caution, and to advertising agents
and the press in general, as a protection in these critical
timee, thus prominently to bring the matter forward, in
which all must feel interested.
The Alderman, after inquiring for a list of the directors,
and this being supplied him by Mr. Lewis from the printed
prospectus of the company, remarked on the number of
clerical names on the committee, and stated that some ex-
cuse might he made for them, as they were not, from the
nature of their avocation, business men; and after expressing
his extreme surprise at the detention of the cheque as a most
mysterious proceeding, stated that, as no assault was come
mitt ed when the policeman was called in, it was not within his
jurisdiction, and that lie had no doubt that, from one or two
of the respectable names on the direction, the matter would
be inquired into, and immediately settled, for the sake of the
character of the undertaking.

THE JERSEY RAILWAY.
(From the Jersey Times.)
Since the meeting of the Directors on Wednesday
last, at Lozey's Hotel, the tide of public opinion seems
to have changed its current. A railway is really
going to be constructed in Jersey, and whispers are
silently being insinuated that Government looks upon
the scheme with an eye of profound interest. We our.
selves were once of opinion that the railway would not
take place, and that the shores of Jersey were destined
to remain as at the period when Cxsar is said to have
disembarked upon them. In those days there were no
railways. Oar sentiments, however, bare since under-
gone a revolution.
Preparations are busily in process for carrying out
the designs of the Isle of Jersey Railway and Pier
Company, but no importations of " navies can take
place till the:Act of our local Legislature authorising its
construction, and determining the route of the line, has
been obtained. A fair plan must be laid berme them,
and this plan must form a fecund source of debate to
the members of the Jersey Parliament. That, how-
ever, the Act will be obtained, admits not of a dealt
The Bill is nearly drawn, and will shortly be printed
Mr. Evans, engineer of the line, and a gentleman of
high distinction as a railway surveyor, made a strict
survey, the other day, of the locality through which the
railway is intended to pass. His observations have
been reduced to the form of a drawing, which also will
immediately be engraved, and copies distributed
amongst the members of the States, to aid them in
arriving at a candid conclusion. The whole necessary
survey, however, will not be completed for the space
of a week or two further. It is calculated that should
the Act pass the States at some period during the next
two months, the constructing of the line will be com-
menced early in January, and finished by the fall of
autumn. On these grounds we may reasonably expect
to be able to take a trip on the " Isle of Jersey Railway"
by this day twelve months.

Previous week's arrival....

The following °lliad. letter has been received by the
Mayor of Cvrk from the Lord Lieuterant
" Dublin Castle, 13th October, 1C45.
" Sir,—l have it in command from the Lord Lieutenant :o
acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 10th, and to
acquaint you that the attention of the Government has been
for some time directed to the state of the potato crop in this
country, and his Excellency has already caused the fullest
inquiry to be made in every district in Ireland, respecting
he disease which is un:ortunately found to exist in the
otato.

BOROUGH AND sPrraxamzian.

The supplies of Potatoes offering here are loss than for
some time past, and of very inferior quality; hence the de-
mand for the best kinds is active, at higher rates, which now
rule from 3/. 15s. to 5/. 10s. per ton.

HOP MILIZICET.
During the whole of the past week fall average quantities
of new Hops have reached us from Kent and Sussex ; yet, as
most of the large brewers. are still short of stock, a very ex-
tensive business has been doing in them, at full rates Of cur-
rency. Yearlings move off steadily, and prices ere well sup-
ported. The duty is still called 160,000/.

WOOL.
The past week's imports of Wool into London have been
chiefly composed of 200 bales from Hamburgh, 50 ditto from
Sydney, and 472 ditto from Odessa. The public sales still
progress extremely well, and nearly the whole of the parcels
offered have found buyers. In the privates contract markets
a good business is doing in English Wools, but foreign and
colonial are somewhat neglected.

His Excellency trusts that the crop may be but partially
affected. and has directed that the inquiries be cf,ntinued,
and further information furnished, from time to time, to the
Government, both as to the present state and probable pros-
pect of this crop.-1 have the honour to be, Sir, your obudient
servant, RICHARD PENN .EfFATHER,
• To the Mayor of Cot k."
The Mercantile Advertiser of yesterday says—" We under-
stand that great quantities of potatos have been shipped
from Dublin and various other ports for the continent, and
that still larger orders have been just received. Under such
circumstances, it is, we think, the duty of the Ministry to
issue an order in council, prohibiting the exportation of
potatos, and also opening the ports for the admission of corn
and other provisions free of duty."
CORK, Ocr. 16.—The intelligence respecting the murrain in
the potato crop, which has reached us since our last publica-
tion, presents no features calculated to allay the apprehen-
sion of scarcity which its first appearance amongst us natu-•
rally awoke. It is but too apparent that the malady spreads
throughout the country, and that districts hitherto unvisited
are now, or soon will be found, affected.
We have before us a tabular account of the result of an ex-
amination instituted by Mr. G. Barry, of Ballahina, into the
condition of the crop in his neighbourhood, and by Mr. Wm.
O'Connell in another. Out of ten lots, comprising various
descriptions of potato, the proportions were 153 sound roots,
47 unsound. Out of eight lots, taken by Dr. Barry
nom the land between Rathcormac and Castlelyons, there
were 53 sound roots, and 27 diseased, the species of potato
being of the white description. The result of the third ex-
amination, which was made by Mr. Wm. O'Connell into the
state of the crop between Lisnegar and the Mountain, was
still more alarming, for of ten lots, 185 roots were bad, and 98
only sound. Again, of thirty samples from the vicinity of
Watergasshill, Castlelyons, and Fermov, 313 potatoes were fit
for use, and 153 unsound. Such is the deplorable summary
of an investigation wisely and properly instituted.
At the meeting of the Fenno), Board of Poor-law Guar-
dians, on Wednesday, the Earl of Mountcashel and other
landed proprietors attended. Several landowners and land-
stewards gave in reports of the decrease in the potato crop,
showing that the injury varied from two-thirds to one-third
of the entire, and that great alarm prevailed throughout
the country. Several gentlemen suggested modes of saving
the sound portions of the potato by kiln-drying and other
means.
Lord MouswastiEL moved that an address be forthwith
prepared and forwarded to the Lord-Lieutenant relative to
the threatened famine, and bringing before his notice the
great exportation of potatos going on.
Captain Comas seconded the motion.
A Committee was then appointed, by whom a memorial
was drawn up, which was adopted by the Board. The me-
morialists suggest to his Excellency " whether some inter-
ference as to the laws affecting the import and export of corn
may not be desirable in the present emergency, and whether
the consumption of corn in distillation may not requite some
check at present."
At the Middleton Board of Guardians proceedings of a
somewhat similar kind took place.
This day there are some additional accounts from the
country. lam glad to say one or two Ulster letters men-
tioned that the disease had not farther extended; and the
provincial journals, in the localities referred to, publish state
ments to the same effect.

The Weary Telegraph states that " advices from several
parts of the country lead to the expectation that the unfor-
tunate potato disease is, in some measure, arrested, the com-
plaints being far less general ; and some situations where,
a,week ago, the number of apparently diseased tubers was
fearfully great, exhibit now very trilling symptoms of its
presence.
The Banner of Ulster, whilst describing the injury done
as very considerable, says—" in some places it is found that
a much smaller portion of the crop is injured than had been
supposed; in.the worst, we are told there will be one-half an
average of edible roots."
The Tyrone Constitution says—" While it must be ad-
mitted that the disease is among us, we have the pleasure
of saying that, as yet, the injury sustained in this neighbour-
hood is very trifling, compared with other districts."
These are the only favourable reports: all others are most
discouraging.
ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF IRELAND.—At the
meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society of Ireland, on
Thursday,
Mi. But.r.EN, the Secretary, stated that he had received
upwards of forty answers from the secretaries of local farming
societies, in reply to a circular letter which lie had addressed
to them by order of the council, to procure information re-
specting the failure of the potato crop in their different
localities. These reports contained much et.,,eful and most
accurate information on the subject, and would form, when
compiled and digested, the best statistical data as yet pro-
duced upon this all-absorbing question. It appeared by the
reports, as far as they had gone, that the disease was not
known or visible in many of the localities up to the time of
calling for the returns, and the local secretaries had reported
accordingly. But in many cases he had received supple-
mental reports, stating that, on digging the crops, they had
found the disease existing in many places where it had not
previously appeared; and that, in fact, it was almost im-
possible to ascertain the true extent of the mischief until the
removal of the crop had proceeded farther. The Council
were of opinion that they should proceed most cautiously in
this business, and for this purpose a sub-committee was
formed, to sit from day to day, to examine the returns, and
to prepare such suggestions for a special meeting of the
council, to be summoned for Saturday, the 18th inst ant, as
they may deem advisable. It was evident that the evil had
reached a most alarming height. The Council then adjourned
until Saturday, at two o'clock.
The Dublin Evening Post says :
" The Agricultural Society have adopted a most judicious
course. But, meantime, whilst inquiries are in progress as
to the extent of the evil, there should be corresponding mea-
sures of relief. We would earnestly suggest a meeting of
the citizens of Dublin, as the first step. The corporation
ought, we think, to be specially summoned upon a subject of
such vital importance."
THE ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIMATE.
The citizens of Armagh assembled on Thursday, William
Paton, Esq., J,P., in the chair, and adopted the following
address to Archbishop Crolly, which was presented by a de-
putation yesterday t—
" ADDRESS TO THE ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIMATE,
MOST REV. DR. CROLLY.

DIRECT RAILWAYS.—On the subject of direct
railways, we find an article in the Railway Mail, a journal
conducted by Mr. Bond Hughes, of the Irish State Trial note-
riety, from which we have taken the following extract:—
" We know of no reason why railway companies should be
exempted from competition ; on the contrary, we could specify
numerous reasons why this wholesome pnnciple should be
brought to bear upon them. Competition is the soul of com-
mercial enterprise; it is the vital principle without which
commerce would languish and die. In the olden times there
were monopolies of grain, of soap, of oil, of tobacco, and of a
variety of other articles of consumption. These monopolies
were only beneficial to the Crown, who granted them, and to
the Crown's nominee. To the public they were most inju-
rious, inflicting upon them high prices and bad qualities. A
railway company, without a rival, is in the nature of mono-
poly, and should be watched by the public with jealous vigi-
lance. All its vigilance will not, however, suffice to protect
travellers against high fares and bad accommodation. But
its activity becomes sharpened, its tariff is lowered, its car-
riages are better constructed, as soon as a rival appears. This
statement might be illustrated by a reference to particular
instances, which, however, are sufficiently notorious. The
public invariably gains by competition, and ultimately no
one loses. Traffic is increased, new energies are awakened,
and new sources of profit are opened up, which soon compen-
sate for the fears a competition usually inspires."—lron Times.
CLONMEL AND THURLES RAILWAY.—(From the
Railway King.)—Among the various Irish schemes at
present before the public, none is, we believe, in a more for-
ward position, as to preliminary arrangements for the ensuing
session, than the Clonmel and Thurles Railway. The deposit
of ten per cent. has, we are informed, been obtained ; their
deeds have been already signed in Ireland, and the deposit
on three-fourths of their capital paid in that country. Their
surveys, plans, and references have been completed under
the superintendence of Sir John M'Neill, the eminent engi-
neer. The Great Southern and Western Company, who are
already empowered to make that part of the line between
Cashel and Thurles, are ready to extend the powers vested
in them for the benefit of this Company. Whether we view
this line as a dieect communication from Clonmel to Dublin,
or as the means of conveying the immense agricultural pro-
duce of the central and northern districts of Tipperary to
Clonmel, we must regard it as a line of local and national im-
portance ; and, aided as it is by the influence of the Great
Southern and Western Company and by a vast local interest,
it cannot, we apprehend, fail of that success to which its
merits entitle it.—[We have extracted the above from the
Railway King, one of the new candidates for public favour,
and one, which, judging from the contents of the present
number, is likely to become a permanent favourite. It is
well got up, and is a complete record of the railway doings,
British and foreign, of the week. The name is a good one,

DIRECT WESTERN RAILWAY.—The chief inha-
bitants of the various towns and villages through which this
line will run, are on the qui vine about the allotments of the
shares in this Company; so popular is the line, and so de-
sirable is it for their wants, that they are anxious not merely
to coaribute to its success, but to have an interest in the un-
der: eking, and when the allotment is completed—which we
understand it will be early next week—there is good reason
to suppose the shares will be sought after with avidity.—

CORN-LAWS. The pernicious working of the
corn-laws was never more plainly seen than in the
course of the last few weeks, in which we have wit-
nessed the paradox of prices going up and the averages
going down, that is, food of home growth becoming
dearer, and the prohibition against assistance from
abroad becoming more stringent at the same time.
Even the boldest and most unblushing champions
of popular starvation never contemplated such an
anomaly as this from the operation of the sliding-
scale. How then has it been brought about ?
The thing is easy of explanation. Not only is the
wheat fit for human food included in the averages,
but what is damaged, either spoiled by the wet
or sprouting in the ear, and destined, consequently
for the feeding ani fattening of pigs, is also take:.
into account and made the ally of monopoly against the
country. As the corn-laws themselves are now in the
last gasp of their existence, it is, perhaps, supererogatory
to call attention to this portion of their mischievous per-
formance. Otherwise, it would be a subject requiring im-
mediate consideration and amendment. In fact, it' any
circumstances should induce the Premier to struggle
for the continuance of these iniquitous enactments be-
yond next session of Parliament, this part of the ques-
tion should be taken up by the free-traders, and an effort
made, that in future no wheat unfit for human food
should be included in the averages returned. As we
have recently seen, a contrary practice is working most
mischievously against the country.—Alb
The late George Harwood, Esq., of Grimstone, has
bequeated 5001. to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital,
500/. to the Blind Asylum at Norwich, 500/. to the
West Norfolk and Lynn Hospital ; and, moreover, he
has made this last charity the residuary legatee of his
personal property.—Nor olh Chronicle.
NORTH LANCASHIRE REVlSlON.—Revision courts
have been held since our last at Poulton, Preston, Kirk-
ham, and Chorley, at which large gains have been rea-
lised; and the activity of those who have attended for the
free traders is above all praise. Whilst numbers of new
claimants have been added to the list, bad monopolists'
voters, ssith which the register abounds, have been freely
struck off at every court. Last year at the revision court
at Kirkham, the two brothers of Talbot Clifton,
M.P,, were expunged from the list, having no quali-
fication ; and on Wednesday last at the same
place, the name of the Honourable Gentleman him-
self, Member for North Lancashire, shared the same
fate ; so that the representative of freeholders, having
no freehold himself, has not even a vote in the division
for which he is Member, and in which he resides. It
gives us no little pleasure to express our confidericee.threea.t

We are authorised to state that the name of Ralph
Etwall, Esq., M.P., was put without his knowledge on the

TALLOW.
There is but little decline in the prices of Tallow since our
last. The arrivals durink the week have been good, and
Tallow is more at liberty than for two or three weeks pre-
viously; but the price has not reclined, as many persons
anticipated. There are now about 18.000 or 19,000 casks on
the way between here and St. Petersburgh ; the prices there
are firm, and the season for shipments drawing to a close.
The demand here is good; but with a moderate supply we
see no prospect of any depression in prices. The home supply
is very indifferent, and the price for good and fair fresh melted
Town Tallow is 41s 6d to 42s net cash.

FIZIGIITFUL DEATHS or Two CHILDREN—On
Saturelsy afternoon Mr. Baker held two inquests on the
bodies of children, who had come by their deaths in the
fOilowing frightful manner :—The first case was held at
the Rochesier Castle, Stoke Newington, on John William
Adams, aged 16 months: Emma Jones deposed that, on
Thursday afternoon last, she saw the deceased with another
child, kboot three years old, in a small four-wheel chaise,
which was being drawn along the Stoke Newington-road,
by a little boy about seven years of age. The deceased
was fastened in to the chaise. Whilst proceeding along,
t:le boy grazed the kerb stone with the little wheel,
by which the chaise was overturned into the road.
At the moment a cart belonging to Mr. Rohert. on,
of Enfield, was passing, and before the driver
could perceive the occurrence, the near wheel
pased over the head of deceased, crushing
it completely flat. The other child, not being tied in,
was thrown rasher farther into the road, and escaped the
fate of his younger brother. Deceased was taken
immediately to the surgery, of Mr. Reynolds, but life
was quite extinct. No blame was attributable to the
driver. The second case was held at the Prince Regent,
East-road, Hoxton, on the' body of Henry Courtnell,
aged two and a half years, son of a pneket-b:s k
msker. Samuel Hymsss stated that on Thursday
last, as he was at work iu a shop in the East-road,
he .saw decseased with ano:her child at play on the pave-
ment. A cart drawn by one hOrse was passing at the
time, when deceased suddenly ran into the road beneath
the horse's legs. He was knocked down by the; animal,
and the off wheel of the vehicle went over his head, kill-
ing him on the spot. In this case no blame was east en
the carman, and verdicts of " Accidental death" were

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
George Gamble, described on the police charge-sheet as re-
tiding at No. 21, Stamford-street, Blackfriars-road, and
A. IV. Bodill, of No. 21, Commercial-road, Lambeth, were
charged with being concerned in stealing a great n
ebratned mber of
wat.:Lies belonging to Mr. French, the cel chro-
nometer and watch maker, of Cornhill.
Mr. Humphries, the solicitor, appearel on the part of the
P • '-
rosec and Mr. Wright, of tiracechurch-street, for the
•itio, ,
prisoner Bodill.
The brief facts of the case are as follows :—The pri-
soner Gamble, for between the last seventeen and
eighteen years, had been in Mr. French's service as
managing clerk, and was discharged on Thursday
last, in consequence cf his having formed an intimacy with
a female of improper character that was disapproved of by his
employer, but his honesty was not in the slightest degree
suspected. During the last live weeks, Police-sergeant John
Walt, No. 16, and Thomas Gray, No. 10, of the C division,
in consequence of information they privately obtained, have
kept a strict watch upon the prisoner Gamble, and having
succeeded in ascertains that he was continually in company
with Bodill, who was known to have disposed of a large
number of valuable watches, a communication was made to
Mr. French on Friday last, who discovered that several
watches were missing from the premises. Wall and Gray
suceeded in apprehending the prisoners on Saturday, in
the neighbourhood of the Haymarket. On the
latter were found 111 pawnbrokers' duplicates of wathes
principally in separate• pledges, the amount obtained on
the whole being about 750/. ; he also confessed that the dupli-
cates had been given him that day by Gamble. The amount
obtained on the watches varied from 121. to 15/. Some of
them, on which only 101. was obtained, cost 40 guineas. The
extent to which Mr. French has been plundered is not as yet
ascertained. Gamble said, on being taken into custody, that
he knew he had nothing but transportation before his eves,
and that Bodill he might thank for bringing him into the
mess. Bodill is known to the police as having been con-
tected with certain gambling transactions.
The prisoners were remanded until Saturday week.

" We feel we should be wanting in out duty, as men and
fellow-citizens, did we not assemble to refute the vile attack,
and to express to you our utter abhorrence of the author of
the base and heartless slander.
" We sincerely trust that you may long enjoy the high
dignity to which you have been appointed, and in which you
have so distinguished youself, in following the Divine pre.
cept of doing unto others what you would they should do
unto you.'
" Signed on behalf of the meeting,

" JAMES T. CELL, jun., Secretary."
The deputation was kindly; received by Dr. Crolly, who
expressed great gratification at the proceedings of the pre-
vious day, and afterwards read the following reply :
" Gentlemen,—No language can sufficiently express to
you, and my other respected fellow-citizens, my feelings of
unfeigned gratitude for this unmerited testimonial of your
esteemed approbation.
" The distinguished and dignified manner in which you
have publicly denounced the calumniator of my character,
plainly proves that in this ancient city the spirit of
Christian concord is cherished among enlightened Irishmen
of different religious and political principles.
" You have conferred on me the highest honour, by stating
that my conduct has been conformable to the great precept
of doing to others what we should reasonably expect to be
done to ourselves'—as that is the Divine standard by which
the moral and social duties of all man should be always
regulated.
" Allow me to assure you that I shall endeavour to deserve
a continuati( n of your confidence; and that my humble
prayers shall be fervently offered to Almighty God for your
temporal and eternal happiness.

MAIESTONE.—MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.—A
young girl, aged about 17, named Dann, the daughter of
a tradesman in this town, disappeared on Thursday even-
ing in a very strange manner. She had_ been, with a
younger sister, hop picking for Mr. Baxter, at Shep-
way Court, and on Thursday night went to the Wheat-
sheaf Inn, on the Loose road, to receive her earnings.
She received about 21. 15s. ; and had left the house a
few minutes, when a young man, who had been em-
ployed in the hop-ground, said to another, " Why, you
don't mean to let your sweetheart go off in that way,"
and ran, out after her. He returned in about five
minutes, and said that he had run down the road,
but could not overtake her. Since that period she has
never been seen, although every place likely to contain
her has been searched. As she was a steady, well-
behaved girl, her parents are in the deepest possible dis-
tress at her disappearance, which has caused much ex-
citement in Maidstone. She wore, when last seen, a
Tuscan bonnet with black ribbon, an apple-green and
red plaid shawl, half. mourning gown, and leather boots.
She is about five feet in height. —Dover Chronicle.
THE WEATHER.—We have had another week
of broken and uncertain weather, and a good deal of
rain has fallen. Tuesday and Thursday were, how-
ever, fine days, and advantage was taken of them to
house a considerable quantity of grain. There is still
much corn uncut in the higher parts of the country, and
a great deal more unhoused than is pleasant to look upon
amidst the heavy rains which almost daily visit us.—

COURT-MARTIAL ON LIEUT. BURRELL, R.N.—The
proceedings in this Court-martial terminated on Friday, and
the court found the second charge, that of having in the
middle watch, between the midnight of the Bth and
four A.M. of the 9th instant, committed a breach of the 27th
article of war, proved. The breach charged was, that he had
been asleep on his watch on board H.M.S. Superb. He was
sentenced to be dismissal the service. The Devonport
Inds-
pendent says—" The extreme severity of the sentence puzzled
every one who had heard the evidence, as did also the find-
ing of the court. We have reason to believe immediate
steps will be takenin a higher court to set aside the proceed-
ings, the opinion of high legal authorities being dead against
the legality qf the trial.

A band of thieves and swindlers, eight in number
—five men and three females—were tried on Tuesday by the
Tribunal of Correctional Police, on various charges of rob-
bery, principallyby the stale but still frequently successful
trick, called Vo a Amer:cell:ie. Amongst the charges brought
forward was one of having robbed a widow of the Themes,
near Paris, of a quantity of jewellery, valued at from I,ooof.
to 1,200 f. One of the band, a good-looking fellow, named
Prevost, had paid his addresses to the widow, and the mar-
riage-day was fixed. Whilst the lady and her pretended
lover were walking out one day near the Arc de Triomphe,
a man came up whom Prevost pretended to have known in
America. The accomplice, who spoke in broken French, pro-
fessed to be delighted at the rencontre, and insisted on treating
the lovers with a dinner at arestaurant. After dining well and
pleasantly, the soi-disani American, who pretended to have
more moneythan he knew what to do with, said he wished to

his American friend had disappeared, and she ascertained that
he had lost a husband as well as her jewellery. Prevost and
three of tly other inen were for this and other offences fourd
sentenced to five years' imprisonment, and a fine

of 3,000 f. ; another of the male prisoners was sentenced to
three years' imprisonment ; two of the females were sentenced

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT SYDENIIAM, KENT.—Yes-
terday morning, about one o'clock, a fire, attended with great
loss of property, broke out in the coach-house of a gentleman
named Femming, of Perry-hill, Sydenham, Kent. No exer-
tion was spared by the inhabitants to arrest the progress 01
destruction, and with the most wonderful expedition the Lon.
(lon Establishment and West of England engines, with seve•
ral firemen, arrived, but no water could be procured for use,
and by two o'clock the premises and contents were consumed.
Our informant could not ascertain the cause of thefire. None
of the property destroyed is insured.

CLERKEN WELL.-(T HIS DAY.)
a master plasterer, in York-place, Barns-
Eastlake,
bury-park;lslington, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Green-
wood, charged with a most cruel assault on police-constable
208 N.
The complainant stated that, on Saturday night, he was on
duty near the defendant's house, and, having reason to
believe that some thieves had taken shelter in some garden
grom.d, he got on a wall to see if his suspicions were
correct, when he was interrupted by the accused, who
asked what he did there. lie made him no reply, but pro-
ceeded on his search, during which time the prisoner walked
away. In about five minutes
eelrds he again met with
the defendant, who, without th east cause, struck him a
severe blow on the nose and kicked him, for which offence
he was secured by a brother officer that had been attracted
to the spot by his cries for help.
This statement having been corroborated,
Mr. GREENWOOD called on the prisoner for bis defence.
He said that he was very drunk at the time, and had no
doubt of his having rnisconducted himself, but he did not
believe that it was to the extent described.
The worthy MAGISTRATE inflicted the penalty of 2/. 10s.,
or three weeks at the treadmill.—The fine was paid,
