LEIPSIC, SEPT. 29.—1 must acquaint you with an
affair which causes a great sensation here, because ill-
disposed journals may very likely spread all sorts of
false statements respecting it. His Majesty the
King of Saxony, before his journey to England,
made purchase of a Jewish jeweller to the amount of
30,000 dollars for presents. On distributing them it
appeared that most of the stones were false, for which
reason the return of all the presents is requested.
THE HAGUE, OCT. B.—Java TEA.—If, as appears
by
.a letter from Calcutta, the competition with Java
indigo, which, on account of its good quality to
otherindigoes, begins to alarm tho:indigo merchants
at Calcutta, our trade in Java tea begins, in like
manner, to alarm the Chinese tea merchant, and they
can find no better means to discountenance it with
the opinions of the consumer, than to deny it the
good qualities which are acknowledged in Europe.
'I 'hen the Semaphore Free Press, in its number of the
2d of May last, says that, in 1842, Java tea was sold
at such a low price that it seems to be hardly worth
while to cultivate it ; and it concludes with affirming
that the cultivation of Java tea has completely disap-
pointed the expectations that had been conceived of it.
The spirit of rivalry is but too manifest in this article,
and accordingly M. Jurobron, Inspector General of
the tea plantations in Java, has victoriously refuted
the assertions c,f the Semaphore Free Press. So long
as the Chinese tea had no rival, people were obliged
to make use of it. Thus congou has been sold for
souchong, the latter for pekoe, which teas have been
found to be injurious to health. Not long ago speci-
mens of Chinese teas, having been chemically analysed,
were found to contain deleterious ingredients, and
this is the case with almost all the green teas of China.

by which, from the Ist of October this year, coals may
he imported into the Grand Duchy of Baden duty

should be left to each of them to reduce, or wholly to
abolish, the import duty on coals, as should appear to
be necessary.—Hamburgh Borsenhalle, Oct 5.

PROGRAMME.

The First Experiment will be a BOMB SHELL, the ignition of
which will not be seen ; and this shell is called by a recent in.
ventor, an Invisible Bomb Shell.
The Second is a SHELL of a similar nature, the explosion of
which will be seen, but to show the power the inventor has over
such a destructive missile, it will explode either the first, second,
or third time of striking, as may be the wish of the gentlemen
present.
The Third will be the discharge of a CANNON, a beautiful
piece of machinery, upon the principle of non-recoil, which may
be fired by any person present without danger; and the Society
can state with confidence, that they will undertake to provide her
Majesty's Navy with Guns upon the same safe principle.
The Fourth, a SELF.EXPLODING ROCKET, without stick,
which bursts the moment it touches the object.
The Fitth will show the effect of the inventor's HAND
ROCKETS, which will be thrown from the top of a mast, to ,
prove the ease with which a merchant vessel-may protect herself
from pirates, or any other power, at sea.
The Sixth will be the discharge of a SELF-EXPLODING
ROCKET, which shall explode at a time named by any gentle.
man on the grounds.
The Seventh will be an EXPLODING ROCKET of CAN.
NON, which can be manufactured to a tremendous power, and be
fired from a canon of any calibre.

Then will follow a HAND ROCKET, which will explode upon
being thrown into the water, if wished by the company.
The Experiments will commence at One o'clock, and terminate
at Six.

" Captain Despard further stated that he had received
a letter from the Marquis of Westmeath this day, stating
that he did not intend, in any event, to have proceeded
against the Rev. Michael Coghlan or the Rev. Mr. Carey.
"Thus ended the absurd attempt of the Marquis of
Westmeath to try a right of way' to a Catholic chapel,

f BANK OF MANCHESTER.

MANCHESTER, WEDNESDAY.—The Annual Meetii
of this concern took place this morning, at Hayward,
Hotel, and, at length, better fortune seems to be dawnii '
on the proprietors. There was a numerous attendant
and the chair was occupied by Mr. G. R. Chappell, of
of the Directors.
The CHAIRMAN said he addressed the meeting wi
far different feelings than he had entertained twel
months ago. Appearances were then against them, b i
he had better news for them now than any one con
then have anticipated. The Directors had made eve,
exertion for the benefit of the Shareholders, and t%
report would show them that this disastrous business w •
more likely to be brought to a favourable conclusion th P
they could have anticipated.—(Applause.) I
Mr. IV. SMITH, the Managini-, Director, read t'
report of the Board. It stated that,6 at the last Annt
Meeting, a Committee of Shareholders had been appoint
to investigate the affairs and position of the bank, a
that Committee, on the 12th of February last, report
that, after going carefully through the accounts a
securities, they had arrived at the result that the Imilauac
sheet presented to the Shareholders in October last a-
a true and accurate statement of the position of tl
bank on the 30th of June preceding. They had al
examined the balance-sheet on the 31st of Decemb
last, and it afforded them satisfaction to be able to rep(
that it showed a considerable realisation of assets, at
a consequent reduction of liabilities from 440,9361.
314,7781. during the half-year. By the balance-sht
made up to June, 1843, the accuracy of which
vouched by this Committee of Shareholders, the liabi
ties amounted to 440,9361. 6s. 10d., and the net amou
of the estimated assets was 388,577 E 16s. sd. ; showfil
a deficiency of 52,355 E 10s. sd. The following was t
stated amount of the liabilities and estimated assets of t
bank, to the 30th of June, 1844 :

TUE WEATHER.—A delightful change has taken
place since yesterday. The temperature is much
warmer, the barometer has risen nearly half an inch,
and during the day we have had gentle breezes from
the south-west, with bright sunshine. The " Queen's
weather," in fact, has returned to the gratification of
her Majesty and her Royal visitor.

DEATH OF AN INDIAN CHIEF.—Joc-o-sot, the Lamy
Indian Chief, who was presented to Queen Victoria and
her royal consort, a few weeks ago, died consumption
on the 3d instant, in Cleveland, Ohio, far from home and
relatives, but kindly provided for by a benevolent family
residing on the pier at Cleveland. He was thirty-five
years of age, and died with great resignation. There is
every reason to believe that he died of consumption,
brought on by the dissipations of civilised life.—New
Yorh Sun.

ATTEMPT AT MURDER IN TIPPERARY.

A letter from Roscrea states that the driver of Mr.
Latouche, residing near Waltown, was fired at on Sunday
night, and wounded mortally.
SPY SYSTEM—FURTHER OUTRAGES.

The Evening Post contains the following extraordi-
nary statement from a correspondent :
" ISIONEYGALL, OCT. 4.—As you are likely to take
notice of every fact connected with the investigation
which has been carried on at the Castle, respecting the
infamous spy system, perhaps you would allow me to
direct your attention to some attempts to revive it in a
new shape.
" On the night of Wednesday, the 2d instant, a dwel-
ling-house, the residence of an honest and industrious
farmer, living at Cramlin, about one mile and a half
from Dunkerrin, was burned ; the entire of the furniture,
beds, bed-clothes, and the entire of the day covering of
every member of the family, old and young, was con-
sumed. A coal of fire was put into the thatch, and,
what is most remarkable, a stream of water which flowed
by the house was dammed up, and the water directed in
a different course some perches from the house. No
doubt it was the work of an incendiary, and it is gene-
rally believed that it was done by Paddy M'Kews bribed
to effect the job.
" If any doubt could exist, such was removed by the
occurrences of last night. Four houses, one at the end of
the village of Dunkerrin, within a few perches of the police
barrack, three others, within half a mile, were wrecked
in the best style of the " Killyman wreckers." Stones
flung in through the windows in the direction of the
beds ; one or two women had almost miraculous escapes.
The names of the householders are Martin Kinally, of
Dunkerrin ; Darby Coonan and Michael Tierney, both
of Castleroan ; and Michael Lanigan, of Loughane.
Comment on these is useless. The whole community
proclaim it part and parcel of the atrocious Cooraclavan
plot. Some half-dozen are well known to be as well
paid and lectured as White proved himself to have been.
These recent outrages are committed at this particular
moment to act as a sort of set-off against the awful dis-
closurec made, and to appear as a sort of justification of

the police.
" The Roman Catholic clergy are indefatigable in their
exertions to check crime and restore peace. The exer-
tions made by our highly gifted Prelate during his visi-
tation in this portion of his diocese, to inculcate peace,
order, and charity, is beyond all praise. His well-known
eloquence was never more powerfully exercised than in
this parish on Tuesday, the Ist inst. ; he made a deep-
and lasting impression on a vast assemblage, in a dis-
course the most powerful, the most energetic, and irre-
sistible I ever heard delivered. The spy systm got a
death blow, and as a last exertion to perpetuate crime,
and traffic on the blood of innocent persons, the above
outrages were perpetrated on the two next nights. Being
about to go home, I now write in the greatest hurry.
When I return in a few days you will hear again."

There was on sale in our market only a moderate
supply of Beasts, the time of year considered, owing to
which the Beef trade was comparatively steady, at about
Monday's quotations. Of Foreign Beasts we had 70,
and of Sheep .50 head offering, from Holland. The
quality was, on the whole, fair. The arrivals from Scot-
land embraced 190 horned and polled Scots. The num-
bers of Sheep were small, yet the inquiry for that
description of stock was inactive, at late rates. Although
the supply of Calves was small, the Veal trade was heavy,
at previous currencies. In Pigs rather more business
was doing, and prices were well supported. Milch Cows
sold slowly, at from 161 to 191 each, including their small
Calves.

GOOD FURNITURE AT MODERATE PRICES.

THOMAS FOX, 93, Bishopsgate-street, Within,
1 respectfully invites the Public to Inspect the stock of
CABINET and UPHOLSTERY FURNITURE and BEDDING,
at his establishment, consisting of every requisite for the Mansion
or Cottage, of a quality, fashion, material, and workmanship , not
to be surpassed, and offered at prices scarcely exceeding those
commonly charged for showy but unsubstantial furniture.
Also, a most complete and beautiffil collection of Chimney, Pier,
and Console Glasses, Decorative Painting, Paper-hangings, and
other Ornamental Embellishments, at the most moderate and rea-
sonable prices.
Parties requiring really good articles, will find at Thomas Fox•s
a stock so extensive and various as to afford every facility for adv an-

first-rate quality.

to relieve them from the pestilent heresy that has
poisoned the minds of too many of the young and
uninformed ; but the Church has not answered
to the call. The only authority that has as
yet condemned the Tractarian heresy is the Uni-
versity- of Oxford. Highly to the honour of that
ancient seat of learning and of sound religion, it
has done its duty ; but it has not been very zealously
seconded by the Church, if, as has been said, we
hope untruly, the person silenced at Oxford for
heretical preaching was almost immediately after
his merited disgrace invited by a Bishop to his
diocese, and invited to preach there, doubtless, the
very same doctrines which had caused him to be
punished in the University. Be this, however, as it
may, the people have complained, if not loudly or dis-
respectfully, still universally and earnestly com-
plained of the seeming connivance of the Bishops,
at the advances of the Tractarian heresy, because
the law has not been put in force to reduce the
false teachers to silence. The complaint has
been, we believe, so far unjust that the
bishops, whatever their nominal authority, have
really no available power to repress the dissemination
of false doctrines. This want of power in the bishops
is then their real defence, we think their only
imaginable defence, against the connivance too
generally imputed to them. Is it then wise,
is it courteous, to the Christian people to
make a display of power in pampering
and encouraging the Tractarian schismatics
when the bishops are obliged to throw
themselves for their defence upon their want
of power to repress the Tractarian heresy ? What
will the people--what can the people—think of the
use (and this is a utiltarian age) of a power which is
impotent for the protection of those Protestant Gospel
truths which they cherish, and can be exercised only
when the enemies of these precious and highly prized
truths are to be gratified by its exercise.

TWO POLICEMEN BURNT TO DEATH.

A fire, attended with loss of life, occurred at the
house No. 67, Guildford-street, Russell-square, the red.
dance of T. Farey, Esq. Like most other fires, h
origin of it cannot be distinctly ascertained, but it is sup.
posed to have been quite accidental. Be this as it may,
it broke out with such violence between three and fine
o'clock in the morning, that before the engines could ay.
rive, even from the nearest station, the house was one
mass of flame, and no effort could save it. The house.,
with all its valuable contents, was destroyed. When *et
fire had in some degree subsided, it was discoversdir
that some of the inmates were missing, toad pollee.:
constables Wright and Birkmyne entered the halt
and were about proceeding to an interior apartmeatt
when the first and second floors fell with a tremendous
crash, and the unfortunate men were crushed to death%
beneath the burning ruins. The body of Birkmyne, 1521
E, was got out at eight o'clock in the morning, shockingly
mutilated and disfigured. It was immediately removed
to the dead-room of St. Giles's workhouse, where it
awaits an inquest. The body of Wright, 67 E, has eel
yet been found. The house is a mass of ruins, and the
houses on either side of it have suffered considerably.
The above particulars were communicated to us by
inspector Hawley, E, at Clerkenwell Police-court.
(FURTHER PARTICULARS.)
The fire was first discovered by the inmates of 64
house, who consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Farey, Mr.
Farey, jun., three female servants, and a youth who
acted as Mr. Farey's clerk, all of whom, with
,the
ception of the latter, succeeded in effecting their es.
cape on to the roof of the house, in a state of nudity,
but were unable without assistance to proceed fur.
then. Their cries of "Fire!" attracted the notice of
a policeman on duty in the neighbourhood, who, oil
hastening to the spot, discovered a den se body of
smoke rising from the rear of the premises, and in.
stantly springing his rattle raised the alarm. As soon
as an entrance could be effected through the adjoin.
ing houses, the police ascended to the roofs, and res.
cued the above-mentioned six individuals from their
frightfully perilous situation, and they were ultio
mately conveyed to No. 55 on the opposite side of the
street, where they still remain. The flames at that
time appeared to be raging on the second floor, and
speedily extended to the third floor, bursting through
the windows, back and front, with terrific fury; and
within an incredibly short space of time they also ap.
peered through the roof, illumining the atmosphere
for miles round the metropolis.
About twenty minutes before five o'clock a portion
of the roof at the back of the premises fell in, and 0

REPRESENTATION

OF DART.

MOUTH.
FROWAY.—Both Mr. Somes and Mr.
Moffatt have returned here to complete thir canvass. As
the day of election approaches, both the candidates ap-
pear confident of success, and each gives out that the re-
sult of his canvass leaves his return beyond a dcubt.
The constituency of the borough does not, after deduct-
ing deaths and removals, exceed 250. Of these not more
than 235 are expected to vote; and both parties state
that they have more than half that number of votes pro-
mised them. There is no doubt, whichever party may
gain the day, it will be a small majority only.
At a meeting of Mr. Moffatt's friends, which took
place on Thursday evening, a correspondence between
the Vicar of Dartmouth and the Chairman of Mr.
Moffatt's Committee was read, in which the former gen-
tleman declared that "he could not Ealow the church
bells to be rung for any election matter in which that
gentleman might be concerned, if Mr. Moffatt, intended
to rote against church-rates;" and the latter replied that
" Mr. Moffatt could not be in favour of the continuance
of a payment which presses hard upon those who differ
conscientiously from the tenets of the Established
Church. At the same time we must be allowed to ob-
serve, that we cannot understand how you can be justi-
fied in making a coincidence with your own sentiments
a necessary condition for a service which is, on these
occasions, invariably given to either candidate without
reference to the party to which he may happen to
belong."
Mr. MOFFATT, in the course of his speech, 'pledged
himself to that meeting, in the event of his being re-
turned to Parliament as their representative, to do every-
thing in his power to obtain the speedy abolition of this
obnoxious impost.—(Cheers.) Mr. Moffatt in the course
of his address ably advocated the principles of free trade,
as did also the Chairman of his Committee. His is
the good cause, and he has every probability of suc-
ceeding.

LONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBiR 23, 1844.

The Bishop 3 Oftfrx7n.raz, like 'another Juxius,
seems resolved, to create a popular ferment ,by his
Letters. Scarcely is the ink dry with which he
penned his two former.ones, when he issues a third
"addressed to the churchwardens of two parishes in
Exeter. This last epistolary communication breithes
precisely ;the same spirit as. its .predeeessors. The
language is studiously courteous—the tone firm and
unbending to a degree. "The voice 'is the voice of
JACOB, but the hands are the hands of ESAU." Like
old GEORGE the THIRD, the Bishop sticks firm to his
Prerogative. He will not tolerate even the slightest
murmur of remonstrance against his decrees. He is
a more rigid martinet than even Colonel MARTINET
himself,, the notorious disciplinarian in the days
of the Grande Monarque. He has ordained that
there shall be changes in the Church service
throughout his diocese, and changes there shall be,
no matter how distasteful they may be to the great ,
body. of 'the Devonshire laity. lie acknowledges
that the changes are of no
great moment--that some
of them are even of a trifling character—hut hist,fiat
respecting them has gone forth, and like

LITERATURE.

LUGOL ON SCROFULA. Clurrchih, London, 1844.
This is a translation from the French, and the gen-
tleman to whom we are indebted for the version is
Dr. Ranking, physician to the Suff.:lk General llos-
pital. The work contains a most copious and circum-
stantial account of the origin and progress of scrofula,
of its hereditary transmission, of the causes which are
chiefly instrumental in producing it, and of the best
mode of treatment for the prevention and eradication
of this distressing malady. The author has investi-
gated his subject with uncommon care, and given
several curious cases of hospital patients i❑ illustra-
tion of some of the leading positions which he has
laid down. According to him, scrofula is a far more
general complaint than it is usually supposed to be,
and is almost always found connected more or less
with tubercular consumption. Those afflicted with
it may, and sometimes do, live the average term of
years, but by far the great majority of them die ere
yet they have entered on the autumn of their life.
The work is prefaced with an Introduction and an
Essay on the treatment of the principal varieties of
scrofula, both of which are from the pen of the
translator.

KNIGHT'S WEEKLY VOLUME. Part 26.
C. Knight, London, 1844.

The present Part of this cheap weekly Miscellany
contains the third and closing volume of " Craikrs
History of British Commerce," from the earliest
times down to the present day, when the spirit of
English commercial enterprise pervades the whole
world. The author is of opinion that our modern
system, both of manufactures and trade, in most of
its leading branches, my be regarded as taking its
rise from the commenceing portion of the reign of
George the Third, and then proceeds to discuss the
question, which he does with learning and acuteness.
The work—as we observed when speaking of the two
former volumes—is reprinted, with corrections and
additions, from the " Pictorial History of England."

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

Mr. Patrick M. Owen, a young Irishman, was
brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having
broken a looking-glass, worth 171., and done other
damage to the property of Mrs. Fletcher, of 34,
Duke-street.

The complainant said she kept a respectable
lodging-house for ladies. The defendant, who was a
stranger to her, called upon her about five weeks ago,
and said he had been recommended by a Airs.
Thompson, of Dublin, to a young lady who lodged
in the house. Complainant refused to allow him to
see the lady in question, as she was under the pro-
tection of a friend. The defendant refused to go
until he had seen the lady, and then complainant
threatened to call the police. The defendant imme-
diately thrust his umbrella against a looking-glass
worth 171., and broke it, and also broke a gas lamp
worth 10s. The defendant went away, and com-
plainant obtained a summons against him, but the
summons could not be served until Friday evening.

I.ONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1844.

The Charitable Bequests Act appears to have
created nearly as great a ferment among the Catholic
clergy of Ireland as the Tractarian schism has created
among the English clergy. The former, for the first
time for many a long year, are split into two distinct
parties, each of which seems to entertain no very
inordinate amount of goodwill towards the other.
Moreover, each party has the honour of being headed
1 y an Archbishop, whose zeal in the views which he
advocates is of a firm and ardent character. Arch-
bishop MURRAY is at the head of those who are in
favour of the Charitable Bequests Act, while Arch-
bishop Millais—'the lion of the fold of Judah," as
' Ile is styled by his admirers—leads the van of those
7iio elood to
. , it. The latter is warmly seconded
