RUSSIANS AND CIRCASSIA %="'=".'Sz'
TABRIZ, SEPT. 22.—Letters from Tiflis of th
of September, written by Armenian merchants -•:
Wished in Georgia, and communicated to Mr. BA-411,•;;.1%.:.
ham, British Consul-General at Tabriz,- announce *4r4'
that the campaign of the Russians against the moun- • •
taineers of Daghestan is terminated for this year. •
The Commander in Chief, M. Neidhar has re--
turned to Tiflis, to enjoy some repose after the
extreme fatigue of his last expedition. The follow-
ing, in a few words, is the result of the summer cam-
paign of 1844:—The Russian reinforcement which
arrived during the last winter in the Caucasus
from Southern Russia amounted to 30,000 men,
commanded by General Luders. Another Russian
division, consisting of 20,000 men, was dispatched
from the Trans-Caucasian provinces to attack the left
flank of the insurgents on the rivers Sindail and
Koisu. Before those troops had arrived at their
destination, Schamyl quitted the district of Amden in
the mountains of Daghestan, his usual place of re-
fuge, and with `,0,000 men attacked the fortress of
Chunsak. The Russian garrison of this fortress being
in want of provisions made several sorties, and on the
third attempt to procure supplies, the mountaineers
entered the fortress pell-mell with the Russians,
and Chunsak was captured. The strong fortress
of Temir-Chantchusa met the same fate. The
garrison, being enfeebled by disease and hunger,
urdt ;lot being able to resist the assault of the
Cirofß3laniti surrendered at discretion to Scha-
Jul. The Jatfo• ;?
fiestro
;?moved the cannon And military
stores which he found ,L.l those fortresses, red
the fortifications, and retired into the mountains..
lieutenants, Hadji-Murat attacked.with a strong body of Lesghians the towns of Tula
and of Dechent, on the borders of the Caspian Sea.
Tarki was captured, plundered, and burnt. Dechent;
resisted. A few days after these events occurred in.
Daghestan numerous Russian reinforcements arrived,
commanded by Generals Gurko and Freitag. They
were followed by 30,000 men under the orders of
General Neidhart, Commander-in-Chief. The Russians
entered the mountains of the province of Tschets-
chaia, where Schamyl had withdrawn with all the-
plunder he had procured at Chunsak and Temir-
Chantehusa. Some sanguinary battles were fought
with serious loss to both parties. Several of the
mountain villages were burnt, and much cultivated
land laid waste by the gossians, but they obtained no
material advantage during the campaign. Schamyl
still remains master of the mountains, where he
had concentrated his partisans. Whilst these
battles were being fought in the Tschets- -
ehaia, a Lesghian chief, named the /Sultan
Daniel, entered Kachetia and captured the town
of Cheki, which is the principal market of :be
country for silks and wines. The town was pillaged;
and about 100 Russian soldiers massacred. The
Lesghians advanced to within twenty-two leagues of
Tiflis. The population of the capital of Georgia being
destitute of troops, trembled at the approach of their
terrible enemy. Tiflis was saved by General
Schwartz, who, with 5,000 infantry, repulsed the
Lesghians ; but the loss of the Russians amounted to)
1,000 men. The Russians themselves confess that
their campaign of this year has completely failed. The
failure is attributed to the discord which prevailed
between Generals Luders, Gurko, and Schwartz. It
appears beyond doubt that a change of generals will
take place in the Caucasus during the next winter.
The plan of making a winter campaign is entirely
abandoned.

ACCIDENT TO THE EARL OF BES-
BOROUGH.
DUBLIN, OCT. 28.
The Earl of Besborough met with a serious acci-
dent on Saturday last. The particulars are given in
the following letter:—
" Carrick-on-Suir, Oct. 27.
" With feelings of the greatest regret I have to
inform you that the Earl of Besborough met with an
accident yesterday, which was very near being
attended with the most serious consequences. His
Lordship was riding out of the court-yard, in front
of the house at Besborough, when his horse tripped,
fell, and rolled over him. Dr. Purcell was imme-
diately sent for, and on examination it was found that
his Lordship had sustained a very severe contusion in
the hip joint, and I regret to add, that up to this time
the pain produced by the injury continues unabated.
" As soon as the accident became known, the most
intense anxiety was felt in this town, where his Lord-
ship is most justly esteemed by persons of every creed
and party ; indeed, to use the words of a gentleman at
the late dinner of the leerls Farming Society, There
is scarcely an individual in Carrick who does not feel
himself almost under a persoeal eisligation to his
Lordship, for the cordial and persevering assistance
he has always given to everything likely to advance
the prosperity of their town.'
"But the feelings of respect and esteem enter-
tained for his Lordship are not confined to this loca-
lity, for I am well aware that there is not a nobleman
in Ireland more generally revered than Lord Besbo-
rough ; and I sincerely hope, therefore, in my next
communication to be able to report, for the gratifica-
tion of the public in general, a considerable improve-
ment in his Lordship's condition."
REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
The usual weekly meeting of the Association was
held this day in the Conciliation Hall. The chair was
taken by J. L. Arabin, Esq., Lord Mayor elect.
Mr. MAURICE O'CONNELL handed in 41. from
Preston, England, and then brought under the con-
sideration of the Association the conduct of certain
repeal wardens in London, who had entered a meet-
ing held in that City in a state of intoxication, and
when requested by their fellow-wardens to retire,
behaved in a most unbecoming manner. It would be,
he said, inconsistent with the rules of the Association
to allow such a gross breach of discipline to pass un-
noticed. He, therefore, felt it his duty to move that
the names of the wardens in question be struck off the
books of the Association.
Mr. CLEMENTS seconded the motion, and stated
that the Committee, after a patient and searching in-
vestigation into the facts of the case, came to the
unanimous conclusion that the individuals referred to
merited expulsion from the Society.
Captain BRODERICE, after handing in several re-
mittances, announced hat the returns from the regis-
tries had been most satisfactory; and he considered
that if the people followed up the blow which had
been so happily struck, they would be in a position at
the next general election to return such a number of
repeal Members as would give a preponderating in-
fluence to their party in the House of Commons. Ile
considered any man that neglected to register as an
enemy to his country. Catholic Emancipation was
the result of the Clare election, and that fact ought to
prove to the people the necessity for exertion. If
they were able to return a band of determined men to
Parliament, it would most unquestionably give an
irresistible impulse to their cause.
The Hon. Mr. HuTcnnisoN handed in 151. from
Liscarroll, county Cork, and read a communication
which accompanied the remittance. The letter called
on the aristocracy " to take the places of honour in
the patriotic agitation which was being carried on for
the restoration of the nationality of their native
country ; if they did so they would receive the warm-
hearted blessings of the people at large, and entitle
themselves to the everlasting gratitude of a generous
nation." lie (Mr. H.) would re-echo the sentiments
contained in the letter he had just read to the meeting.
He would ask the aristocracy, were they English
or Irish—were they fish or flesh? Now was the time
for them to be up and stirring.—(Hear, hear.) He
would call emphatically on them to consider seriously
the actual condition of the country, and what might
result from its continuance in that state. England, he
was aware, was smiling at the puny efforts of these
gentlemen to shake off their foolish prejudices. Such
he knew were the private sentiments of every English
man, but he knew they dared not give utterance to
them in public. What did the objection of the aris-
tocracy to join them amount to ? Why, this, " We
hold your opinions, but yet we cannot follow them."
He regretted that the state of his health would oblige
him to winter in France, and he could assure the
meeting that it was to him a source of bitter morti-
fication to leave the country at this peculiar juncture.
Although, however, he would not be present propria
persona, he would be in spirit, and he trusted that
every letter he read from Ireland would give him
assurance of the perseverance and untiring exertions
of the Irish people in their present glorious career.—
(Loud cheers.) Under the leadership of Mr. O'Con-
nell they had nothing to fear. Having every confi-
dence in his wisdom and discretion, he would caution
his countrymen against being led away by any side-
winded doctrines which might be propounded to them.
He would be wanting in courtesy if he departed with-
out tendering to the Association his unfeigned grati-
tude for the kindness they had shown him since his
accession to their ranks.
The Hon. Gentleman on resuming his seat was
most enthusiastically cheered.
Mr. M. O'CoNNELL was sure every Irishman
would sympathise with him on the reason that de-
prived them of the services of Mr. Hutchinson. His
generous and disinterested zeal was beyond all praise,
and any commendations from him would only detract
from his real merit. His career, it was true, was
short, but it had been brilliant, and was such as would
entitle him to the lasting gratitude of his country-
men. They would fondly anticipate his return in
renewed health to witness the triumph of that cause
of which he was so distinguished a supporter.—(Hear,
hear, and cheers.) In conclusion he moved that the
most marked thanks of the Association be tendered to
the Hon. G. H. Hutchinson, for his exertions in the
cause of the country.
Capt. BRODERICK seconded the motion, which passed
with acclamation.
The Hon. Mr. HUTCHINSON returned thanks for
the distinguished compliment which had been paid
him, and assured the meeting that his body and mind
were at the disposition of his country.—(Cheers.)
He felt that, in acting as he had, he was merely ful-
filling the dictates of his conscience, as he sincerely
believed that their cause was a religious and a chari-
table one.—(Hear, hear.) It was not from any vain
notion of courting popularity that he had acted as he
had, but solely for the purpose of serving his country,
and whenever they required his services he was ready
to respond to her call.—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. M. O'CormELL rose to bring under the notice
of the Association a communication he had received
from the Rer. D. Hearne, of Manchester, directing
attention to the spread of Ribbonism in that town.
The letter contained the following passage :—" I do
not know what to do with the repeal-room in Sal-
ford ; it is giving me more trouble than all the other
wards. The anecdote told in the Association by Mr.
W. J. O'Connell a few meetings back, of a Ribbon-
man being ducked in a pool of water in this town,
has no foundation in fact ; he must have dreamed it.
The other statement, that in consequence there
was not a Ribbonman in Manchester,' is equally in-
correct. I fear there are many, and among the re-
pealers, too. Indeed, I hare heard the name of one
who was about to go as a deputy to a meeting
of delegates (Ribbonmen), to be held in the neigh-
bourhood of Belfast. I have been battling with
that society for the last nineteen years in this lo-
cality. 1 know no worse enemies of Ireland than the
Ribbonmen. They are, I am told, very strong in
Liverpool, under the name Hibernian Societies,'
Friendly Brothers,' &c. The Association would be
doing no little good by sending over a commission to
Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, and the neighbour-
ing towns, to inquire into the existence and nature of
such societies. I believe the Ribbon infatuation in
Ireland to be principally kept up by supplies from
this country. I would lend all my assistance to such
a commission." Whilst on this subject, he (Mr.
O'Connell) would call the attention of the citizens of
Dublin to the fact that there were at this moment
emissaries going about seeking to entrap them into
becoming members of this nefarious system. He
held in his hand a satisfactory proof of the characters
of the demons to which he had alluded, and the class
to which they belonged. An individual, who repre-
sented himself as William Doyle, had been in the
custom of frequenting a certain public-house, and
there infusing his pernicious doctrines into the
minds of those who were so unfortunate as to
meet with him. One evening last week this
wretch, forgetting himself, he supposed, luckily
enough for the people, got drunk, and when leaving
the house he dropped that document. The Honour-
able Gentleman here exhibited to the meeting a
document, which appeared to be a certificate of the
admission of the individual in question as an Orange-
man, and le-ore date July 13, 1844. It was decorated
with orange and blue ribbons, and bore the signatures
of the grand master and deputy grand master of the
lodge. It appeared that the person's name was
Philips, and not Doyle, as he stated ; and that he
came from the north of Ireland. The production of
the document created the greatest sensation. Mr.
O'Connell then proceeded to dwell at considerable
length on the folly of joining such societies, and the
great evils which they would necessarily inflict on
the country. He concluded a powerful address,
amidst loud cheers.
The'meeting was subsequently addressed by several
gentlemen, who handed in contributions and at the
termination of the proceedings Mr. M. O'Connell an-
nounced the rent for the week to be 4751. 15s. 3d.—
(Loud cheers.) The meeting then adjourned.

DEATH OF SIR THOMAS KIRKPATRICK, SHERIFF
DUMFRIESSIIIRE.—Sir Thomas Kirkpatrick, - Bart..
of Closeburn, died at his residence of Capenoch, on
Monday evening last, after a few hours' illness. Sir
Thomas was slit 'riff of the county of Dumfries for thirty-
three years. During all that long period of difficult
official duty, in the dispensation ofjustice, it is not too
much to say that not the remotest shadow of a stain
ever rested on his spotless name. One feelng of pro-
found sorrow pervades this town and district, for the
loss of this honoured judge snd much-beloved gentle-
man.—D unifries Herald.
HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE M-
11.1A3QUIS. OF
EXIITEIL—The long-contemplated visit of her ajesty
and his Royal Highness Prince Albert to the Marquis
of Exeter, at Burleigh House, is expected to take place
in the course of next week. Tuesday, the sth proximo',
is the day which has been named for the departure of the
Court from Windsor ; but we believe the precise period
has not yet been determined upon by the Queen. It is
understood that the Court will be absent from the
Castle about four or five days. Her Majesty, upon her
arrival within a few miles of the domains of the Mar-
quis, will be met by the numerous tenantry of the noble
owner on horseback, bearing white wands, and escorted
to the princely seat of the house of Cecil, where a suc-
cession of distinguished visitors will have the honour
of meeting her Majesty and her Royal Consort. The
game on the estate, which has been strictly preserved in
anticipation of the visit of his Royal Highness, is ex-
tremely plentiful throughout the extensive domains

the Marquis.
TIIE GRESHAM LECTURES.—Saturday next, being'
the first day of Michaelmas Term, the usual lectures, par-
-suant to the will of Sir Thomas Gresham, will be de-
livered in the theatre of Gresham College, during the
month of November, on the following subjects :—Astro-
nomy, the Rev. Joseph Pullen, M.A.—Physic, Dr. 11.
Southey—Divinity, the Rev. Henry John Parker, M.A.
—Law, William Palmer, Esq., M.A.—Geometry, the,
Rev. Samuel Birch, D.D.—Rhetoric, the Rev. Edward.
Owen, M.A.—Music, Edward Taylor, Esq. The first
lectures will be delivered at twelve o'clock, in Latin ; and.
at one in English. The music lectures, as usual-, at;
seven o'clock in the evening.
EASTBOURNE.—On Friday evening at a publics
meeting of the inhabitants of Eastbourne, it was decided.
that a mechanics' institution should be established in.
this place ; and it was announced that sixty-two persons
had enrolled their names as members of such institu--
don, and that the principal gentry were willing to conia
forward and support it. Though Eastbourne has for Es
long time occupied a low place in the scale of society, iG
is hoped that this is a stepping stone for its elevation to a
higher and more congenial position ; and that is only IL
foretaste of good things for the inhabitants of this de-
lightful watering place.—Brighton Guardian.
DEATII OF A MISER.—On Saturday week a very
old inhabitant of this town (Mr. Thomas Ruxton) diaed,
worth some 10,0001. Ile had lived alone for many yers,
denying himself every comfort, and preparing what food
he did indulge in himself. His property, under a will
made six years ago, goes to his sister's children, but
they are not to be found. Information of his death ha',
however, been sent to Ireland, in which country the old
man was born.—Brighton paper. \
EXTRAORDINARY MODE'OF SUICIDE FROM DISEASE
AND DESTITUTION.—Yesterday Mr. Baker, jun., held
an inquest at the Three Compasses, Brick-lane, Spite,-
fields, on the body of George Dixon, aged thirty-six,
late putman at a house in Broad-street, City. Frederick
Grover, of 5, Old Montague-street, Whitcchapel, said
deceased and his wife resided in the same house, and
were in very destitute circumstances, owing tahis having
disease of the lungs, which prevented him from working.
On Thursday afternoon deceased came into witness s
room in a wild state, and drank with avidity four cups
of tea, and whilst witness was getting him some mori,
he seized a long knife from off the table, and thrust it
down his throat and gullet, so far that only part of the
handle protruded from the mouth. Witness immediately
struck deceased's hand from the haft of the knife, and
pulled it from his throat, upon which deceased exclaimed,
" I am determined to do it, and may as well do it first rs
last." Mr. Foster, the parish surgeon, was called in,
but, despite his efforts, deceased died in three hours af-
terwards. Mr. Foster spoke to deceased's great destitu-
tion, and said that he died from the combined effects if
the wound in the throat, causing internal hemorrhage,
and inflammation of the lungs. Verdict—" Temporal y
insanity."
INCEISDIARISM IN BEDFORDSIIIRE.—On Sunday
night, in the neighbourhood of Crowfield, flames were
discovered in a barn on the farm of Mr. John Hall, of
Wharley-end. The building was detached from the
stack-yard, or the entire homestead must have been con-
sumed, as there was a smart wind, and no water could be
had. A large body of the labourers were present, but
they could render no service, the flames having com-
pletely encircled the building, which, together with its
contents, the produce of eleven acres of wheat, beside a
quantity of beans, was destroyed. From the isolated
position of the barn, and the fire having broken out full
24 hours after any person having entered it, it appears to
have been the act of an incendiary, though at present no
suspicion is attached to any person in particular. The
owner of the property, in common with the majority of
the principal farmers in the parish, pays the avers le
rate of wages, Ss. a week, and in many instances the
practice of yearly hiring obtains, but since the close .of
• the harvest a large number of supernumerary hands
• have been discharged, and these men are wandering
about the district without visible means of subsistence.
Poaching and petty robbery are becoming very prevaltnt
in this district.
AN OLD BlRD.—There is inthe possession of one
of our old Dutch families of this city, a parrot known
to be 82 years old. This bird is now blind, but, n+4-
withstanding that, it can walks o any parfft of themem housberse
without difficulty, and recognises the different
of the family by their footsteps. It whistles tunes with
great exactness, and is quite fond of sacred music. We
are informed that in early life this bird, like most of its
species, was a little wild, and a good deal given to pro-
fane swearing, but for some time it has laid aside this
habit, and, save occasional fits of viciousness, the out-
breakings of the inner Adam, is a staid, reputable, and
exemplary bird, an honour to the family in which it was
reared, and an example to the younger members within
the reach of its influ eansc
je.

YIELD OF CROPS IN SOUTH WALES.—We have
not had so good a harvest for years. Our wheat Carts
harvest reaches 641bs. a bushel, which we believe is about
the average weight in Essex and the best wheat-grov ing
counties in England.—lVe/shman.
