having been obtained frwn them by fraudulent pre
tences. _ _ _

Oa being called upon for their defence, all the pri-
soners declined saying anything.
Sergeant Dubois prayed for a week's remand. as he
had a great number of other Aarges of a similar de-
scription to prefer against the prisoners, and he was
completely exhausted by his incessant exertions.
Mr. BROUGHTON considered it had been proved that
the prisoners were in the habit of taking respectable
houses, in which they placed no furniture, and that they
afterwards stocked the houses and defrauded the trades-
men around them to a scandalous extent by false and
fraudulent pretences. They were all either principals or
participators in the offence, and he should commit the
two elder prisoners for felony, to be brought up again on
Wednesday next ; but the younger prisoner might be
delivered to her aunt, who was present, on her engage-
ment to produce her at the next examination.

LORD WESTMEATII:S PROSECUTION AGAINST

THE PRIESTS.

DUBLIN, OCT. B.—The inquiry directed by the
Government has terminated in a decision against Lord
Westmeath. The particulars will be found in the fol-
lowing report:—
" COLLINSTOWN ADJOURNED PETTY SESSIONS, OCTO-
BER 7.—The case of the Marquis of Westmeath against
the Reverend Michael Coghlan, the Reverend E. Carey,
and several others, for riot and conspiracy, and which
had been adjourned from the 26th ultimo to this day, in
order to take the opinions of the law officers of the
Crown on the informations sworn on that day, came on
before the magistrates who heard the evidence on the
26th, viz., Captain Despard, Mr. Batty. the Reverend
Thomas Smythe, and Mr. Evans. Previous to the
sitting of the court, Captain Despard and the county in-
spector (Mr. Walsh) proceedlld to the chapel at Fowre,
to view the passage' to it, where the house had been
eructed by Talbot (the Marquis of Westmeath's tenant),
for the removal of which, in a peaceable and legal
manner, the people had been charged with riot and con-

every member of the family, old and young, was con-
sumed. A coal of fire was put into the thatch, and,
what is must 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-
closures made, and to appear as a sort of justification of
the police.
"The Boman 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 porticn 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 system 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."

begged, however, to make a few observations in anti-
cipation of such inquiries. The Proprietors would
see, with pleasure, the increase in the receipts of
freight and passage-money, and that the items were
separated in conformity with the wish expressed by a
former meeting. The accounts showed an increase in
both those items to an extent which justified the ex-
pectations of the Directors, and which, he hoped, would
prove satisfactory to the Proprietors. The debt of the
Company was now reduced to 50,0001., and it was the
wish of the Directors that it should be cleared off at
the earliest period, because it would show the means
at the power of the Directors, and would relieve the
Proprietors of any fear of being called on for money,
at the same time that occasions might arise, in a large
concern like that, where a large sum of money might
be required and borrowed, with the certainty of an in-
creasing income to pay it. With regard to the Tay, he
was unwilling to enter into the painful details connected
with it. The Proprietors would be glad to learn that
the whole of the expenses of insurance were within
10,0001., though they had appropriated 2,5001. to
meet casualties. That was a good proof of the care-
ful working of their service. He was now speaking
up to the time that they received the latest accounts,
which was nine months of the year. The Directors
wished, on that occasion, to express their obligations
to the assistance rendered them on the occasion of the
accident to the Tay, by the Spanish authorities, and
their acknowledgment of the zeal and activity of their
agent, Mr. Crawford.—(Hear, hear.) 'With regard
to the contract entered into with Mr. Pitcher for the
repair of the Company's transatlantic steam-vessels,
he might say at once that the annual amount paid to
Hr. Pitcher was 22,0001., and, as the report stated,
they had every reason to be satisfied with
the manner in which he performed his work.--
(Hear, hear.) He was happy to say that the plan of
packet routes had given satisfaction, and that the
manner in which the vessels of the Company per-
formed their services gave the greatest satisfaction;
but as the Admiralty Board required it, they would
be obliged to build another steam-vessel, which would
be a cause of considerable expense ; but it would be
spread over a considerable period, and he hoped that
the increasing income which would be derived there-
from would be found sufficient to meet the expense
without encroaching on that surplus which would
be applicable to a future dividend.—(llear, hear.)
The meeting would observe that the item of coals had
been very much reduced, and though the distance
over which they steamed in the last corresponding
half-year was greater, yet there was a considerable
reduction in the expense of this item under what it
was in the last half-year of 1843, when the distance
travelled was not so great. This was to be attributed to
improved management, greater economy, and the
various alterations made in their machinery by the
engineer, Mr. Mills, who had done his duty to the
perfect satisfaction of the Directors. There was
some increase in the ship, engineer, and saloon,
and also in the pilotage, but it was not a real in-
crease. There was also a slight increase in
the salaries in London and Southampton, but
this was but reasonable, as the business had in-
creased. He begged leave to state that the gratitude
of the Company, as well as of the Directors, was due
to the Board of Management, which was comprised of
Capt. Mangles, Capt. Chappel, and Capt. Lind. In-
deed, he was happy to say, on the part of the Direc-
tors, that their thanks were due to the officers, agents,
captains, and clerks of the Company generally, with
some few unfortunate exceptions. He hoped that all
parties interested in the undertaking would remain
united, because it was by the union of all parties that
they could hope to prosper, and he trusted that, like
other speculations entered into by private individuals,
this would become one of national importance, and a
secure and profitable one for those who invested their
money in it. He woul I now call on the Secretary to
read the report which he proposed for their adoption.
The Secretary then read the report, of which the
following is the substance :—The report stated that
the Directors had much gratification in submitting to
the present meeting a working account for the first
half of the current year, showing that the expectations
formerly held out have been fully realised, and that
the concern is, in every respect, steadily and
surely improving. That the surplus of the
half-year, ended in June last, considerably ex-
ceeds that of the corresponding period for 1843.
The Shareholders will doubtless learn with satisfac-
ticra that, since the last meeting, the debt of the Com-
pany has been further reduced 20,000/. ; and the
Directors have given notice that at the end of the
term, on the 4th of February next, they intend to pay
off the loan of 50,000/. borrowed in the year 1842,
being now the remaining balance of the Company's
debt. The report went on to say that the casualty
to the Tay, however blameable, was likely to prove
less injurious to the Company than might at first
have been apprehended. The Directors deem it due
to Mr. Pitcher to express their entire satisfaction at
the manner in which he was carrying out his agree-
ment. The plan of packet routes had given great
satisfaction both to her Majesty's Government and
the colonies, the ships arriving and departing from
their several places with the greatest regularity. The
Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty having re-
quired that the mails to and fro between Jamaica,
Santa Martha, Carthagena, Clarges, and St. Juan de
Nicaragua, be conveyed by steam, the Company
would have to build a new steam-vessel.
Mr. CARTER seconded the adoption of the report,
which he said was most satisfactory.
Captain Wuiscif concurred in the opinion that the
report was, on the whole, satisfactory, and expressed
himself highly satisfied with the Board of Management
which he had recommended.
Mr. RIDGWAY said that he did not think the report
was as satisfactory as it ought to be. He thought
the accounts were meagre and unsatisfactory. There
had been a great deal of congratulation at the dimi-
nution of the expenses in coals and wages. He thought
that a great reduction might be made in the salaries
of the officers of the Company. The officers of the
Company were going on most prosperously till the
calamity which befel the Tay, anti he thought it was
but fair that a report of the circumstances attending
that accident should he laid before the Company.
He was aware that Mr. Pitcher gave every satisfacs
tion, but he thought that 22,0001. was a great sum of
money to be paying yearly besides the sum to cover
insurance. He also complained of the carelessness of
some of the officers of the Company in leaving pack-
ages behind them, and thought that the Company
ought to consult more the comfort and conveyance of
passengers. He should move that a report be
made of the circumstances attending the casualty to
the Tay.
Mr. COATSWORTII, a Director, said that since the
accident to the Tay every vessel belonging to the
Company had been more full of passengers than before.
The CHAIRMAN said that an investigation took
place into the circumstances connected with the
casualty to the Tay before four captains, and they took
legal advice as to whether their report might be
published ;' but they were told that if they
did so, they would be subject to an action,
for truth was sometimes a libel. The only remedy
they had in their power they applied, and that was to
dismiss the captain, At the same time, it was bnt
fair to him to say that his previous character and con-
was such as to justify the Directors in reposing
no to the time of' this accident. He
"AT, „v
. he had passed an
nded a

spiracy.
"On the assembling of the court, Captain Despard
stated that he had a communication to make to the ma-
gistrates, and that it was necessary the court should be
Cleared, which was accordingly done.
" After about half an hour's deliberation by the ma-
gistrates, the court was opened and the public admitted.
" Captain Despard (as Chairman of the Bench) ad-
dressed Mr. James D. Scully (who attended as counsel
for the accused parties), and stated, That the informa-
tions had been submitted to the Attorney-General, who
had declined giving any opinion whether the magistrates
ought or ought not to receive the informations, but left
the matter entirely to their discretion ; and that the
magistrates having taken into their consideration that it
appeared in evidence before them that the way' in
question had been used for a long period by the people,
and assuming they had a legal right to do so, and, con-
sequently, to remove any obstruction to their exercise of
it, and inasmuch as the magistrates were of opinion that
there was no violation of the law in the mode of the re-
moval of the walls of Talbot's house by the people, the
magistrates declined receiving the informations ; and, as
a further reason fur suck decision, Capt. Despard stated
that their decision would not preclude the Marquis of
Westmeath (if he thought proper) to send up bills of in-
dietrae.st to the grand jury at either the quarter sessions
or the assizes.'
" 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 Coghla,n or the Rev. Mr. Carey.
" Thus ended the absurd attempt of the Marquis of
Westmeath to try aright of way' to a Catholic chapel,
by the institution of a criminal proc,ieding."
IMLLINASLOE HORSE FAIR.
BALLINASLOE. MONDAY NnauT.—The horse fair came
off to-day, and first-rate animals, of eliaraeter, well-bred,
and in good healthy condition, brought very long prices.
There was a brisk demand for weight-carrying hunters,
some of which, to our knowledge, went at 40 high a
figure 1)3 1501. Among those who purchased rather
extensively, and laid out large sums of m iney on war-
ranted six-feet-wall junipers, cf4rrying fourteen and fif-
teen stone, were several English gentlemeo, and a pretty
considerable sprinkling of jobbers from the sister coun-
try, who calculate on disposing of their purchases at the
other side of the Channel, in the midland counties. Well-
matched carriage horses were in requisition, but the
supply fully maalled the demand. One gentleman. from
Roscommon, refused 400 guineas for a pair of highly
bred chesnat foursyear olds, and he subsequently sold
them to an officer of the Guards for 350/. The Hon.
Martin Ffrench, R.M., Ballinamore, had an uncommonly
pretty set of dashing dark chesnuts, well suited fur a
britzka or ehaeiot, They were very much looked al, er,
and bought, as we were informed, for something over
150/. Mr. Eyre, of Eyrecourt Castle, sold one of his
tip-top hunters for 130/. ; and Mr. Patrick Balla, of
Southpark, disposed of a dark bay mare at a shade over
100/, Mr. John Birmingham's three-years old colts were
purchased by a military gentleman at 80/.
It appears to be the opinion of very competent judges
that the show of "crack" horses has never been exceeded
at Ballinasloe; and that this great emporium for the sale
of cattle was never on any former occasion thronged to
such an extent with animals of an exceedingly inferior
description. We do not remember to have seers at any
English or Irish fair so many hundred decidedly bad,
broken down, :spavined " nags." The fair-green and
streets are literally blocked up with horses, mares, foal.,
fillies, and colts, that would be more " at home" in some
of the Galway fox-hound kennels. As may be supposed,
very little business was transaated in this branch.
Heavy draught horses were very much looked after,
and met with a ready sale. Lord Clancarty, Lord
Clarina, the Earl of Lucan, Joseph Lambert, Esq.,
George O'Malley, Esq., and some English brewers and
farmers, were among the purchasers. One superb animal
17 hands high, and powerfally limbed, brought 601.
The military contractors for the cavalry stationed in
Ireland laid out large sums of money on some good
young chargers; and a person who was pointed out to
be Louis Philippe's maitre-de-clieval, made extensive
purchases.
Mr. Marshall, of Limerick, submitted to public compe-
tion on the fair-green to-day several horses, hounds, and
vehicles, the property of the late Bernard Browne, Esq.,
of Mount Bernard, county Galway. The colts and mares
by that famous sire lladiestl, out of a famous huntress,
and Musician dam, sold well.
POLICE ESPIONAGE.
Whilst the atrocities at Shinrone are still the subject
of a Government investigation at the Castle, and the
public are astounded by the revelations made from day
to day of the secret agencies for the manufacture of
crime, we find, by the subjoined correspondence between
Lord Clements and the constabulary authorities, that a
system of prying and espionage, without the sanction, or
even the forms of legal authority, is in actual operation
throughout the country, on the pretence of making up
some kind of census, different from that so recently com-
pleted by the Government commission :
" Lough Rynn, October I, 1844.
" Lord Clements begs to be informed by what autho-
rity a police-constable entered his house this day, for
the purpose of taking down in writing the name of the
inmates.

" Mr. Kerin, sub-inspector, begs to inform Lord Cle-

by his directions the constabulary are taking a registry
of householders ; such registry to be copied into a book,
to be kept for the purpose at each post in the district.
Mr. Kerin begs further to inform bis Lordship that he is
acting by authority of the Right'Han. Inspector-Gene-
ral's circular, dated 11th instant, which directs, where
not already done, immediate steps to be taken to have
the registry completed. Mr. Kerin requests his Lord-

lary are now at liberty to take the registry on his pro-
perty.

to believe from the ignorance of several of the police re-
specting their districts, that the instructions contained
in the printed regulations of the force, which were
framed in 1837, respecting the registry of householders,
were not sufficiently attended to, directions were lately
forwarded to them recalling their attention to the sub-
ject. But I regret to observe, from your Lordship's
communication, that the policeman referred to mistook
the nature of his orders by intruding into your house ;
for, to guard against such an occurrence, I directed that
the men should not make formal visits to the houses in
their sub-districts, the•object of which might be misun-
derstood; but that the required information should be

Hull, so that the Directors had every ground to pi .t:
confidence in him. He did not think that the Ron.
Proprietor ought to bottle up his wrath for these half,,
yearly explosions, and if there was anything to com-
plain of, he ought to state it distinctly, and not confine
himself to vague generalities.—(Hear, hear.)
In answer to a question from Mr. kONTAGUE,
Mr. MAYNARD, the solicitor of the Company, stated
that no dividend was made to any of the creditors from
Acreman's estate.
Mr. MONTAGUE suggested that the Company should
follow a rule adopted by the Corporation of London,
of making a yearly inquiry into the responsibility of
securities.
A PROPRIETOR wished to know what class steamers
the Directors intended to build?
The CUAIRMAN slid one between 1,000 and 1,100
tons.
Mr, MONTAGUE then proposed, and Mr. CARTER
seconded, a vote of thanks to the Directors for their
exertions and energy on behalf of the Company.
A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman,

ing these places prematurely ; but there was nothing to
speak of, the whole cause of the little temporary commo•
lion arising from the anxiety of twenty thousand specta-
tors to see, where four thousand could scarcely be ac-
commodated. Soon after one o'clock the Scots Greys
made their appearance, followed by the 92d Highlander!
with about 200 retired officers and soldiers who had
served under the Duke, all wearing their well-earned
medals and other testimonials of good conduct. Before
us there is now moving along the gallant array of bravo
men, very many of whom 'did duty " at Waterloo, and
the whole being headed, most appropriately, by our oaal
Glasgow citizen, with his nodding plumes, and brews
t
covered with honourable orders—a soldier of -whom we
always feel proud to speak—the Commander-in-Chief for
Scotland, the gallant Sir Neil Douglas. All was nen'
ready, and a mighty buzz of anxiety ran through the
crowd, when Sheriff Alison mounted on a table in front
of the statue, supported by Sir Neil Douglas on the right;
and the Hon. the Lord Provost Lumsdeu and Colonel
Fleinino• on the left.
Sheriff' Ausosr then, in the absence of the Duke aif
Hamilton, the Lord Lieutenant of the county, delivered
an appropriate and most eloquent address, touching with
his usual power upon the military career of the Dith.'

Scotland, Scotland, and upon the services of the Scots Greys se,
the Gallant 92J. Glasgow is the second city in
empire which has done honour to the Duke, and shown
its gratitude by the erec,ion of such a testimonial.
Immediately on the conclusion of the Sheriff's speech
the covering was slowly raised, and exposed to the view
of an admiring public one of the most wonderful a°
beautiful pieces of sculpture which has ever adorned an)
city. Amidst the surprise and cheering elicited by the
sight of this noble statue, a park of artillery kept thee*
dering away in Bell's Park, with mighty effect. 1130,e
military then marched past with their bands plaYl
" See the conquering hero comes," but thousands n
people lingered on the ground, anxious to get a gliwPie
of this magnificent statue.
Amongst the company we observed Lady Belhaven;
Sir Thomas Wilde, late Solicitor-General, Sir James
Campbell, Mr. Wilde, and a host of others.
Letters of regret and apology for non•attendall
were received from the Duke of Hamilton the Margot
of Douglas, the Earl of Glasgow, the Ear; of Eglintoet
Lord Belhavt.m, General Darroch, &c.
Immediately after the ad.lress of the Sheriff, v, ra
Provost LUDISDEN, at the request of the Select Coal
inittee, made a few observations, which were loudly 01:1
plauded. His Lordship observed that the assembled
thousands of his fallow citizens, while that day adeairini
the splendid specimen of art which had just been exrsto
to view, and which he hoped was destined for ageso
adorn our city, would nut deem it too much to give of
expression of their admiration of the eminent scuilld,
who had displayed such great acquirements. His Lord
ship then, amidst loud applause, proposed three ch,e:A
for the Baron, which were given with no ordinary o'-'"
and tremendous applause.

we must be excused, in the mean time, for the followle
rather meagre description :
