THE ILkouE, JULY 18.—From the official statement
Of the public revenu', in the years 1844 and 1845, it ap-
poars that the amount was, in 1845, 25,705,065 florins ;
in 1844, 25,373,504 florins ; increase in 1845, 331.561f1.
THE HAGUE, JULY IG.—lt is affirmed that his Ma-
jesty the King will go in a few days to London, and that
afterwards, on his return, he will honour the Grand
Duchy of Lux. mburg with a visit. It is reported that
his Majesty, in his journey to Great Britain, will be
accompanied by his Excellency M. Baud, the Minister
of Finance.

The Courrier of the Grand Duchy says that the King
will stop only six or seven days in London, and that his
Majesty will be accompanied by the Queen on his visit.
to Luxemburg.
Mr. Hughes, who has filled, for three years, the post
of charge craffaires of the United States of North
America at our court, left us on Sunday night, and re-
turned to his own country. The official table of the
public expenditure for the years 1. S4G and 1847, shows that
the expenditure for 181 G is fixed at 70,327,704 f., for
1847, 70,253,554 F. Oa occasion of the reported visit of
his Majesty to England, it may not be amiss to mention
a gracious desire of his Majesty in favour of the Eng-
lish congregation in this town. It is known that an
English (Presbyterian) congregation was formed at the
_ _ _

llague, at the end of the sixteenth century (in 1595).
It consisted at that time of about 200 members and had
some men ofeminent learning, as Archibald Maclaine who
greatly enriched the work of Mosheim, Barker, and
others. The church, which was previously the chapel
of the Brotherhood of the Holy Sacrament, was small,
but. sufficient for the congregation, andsvers neatly fitted
up. A the congregation declined, little was done to
keep he building in repair, so that at last it was in such
a ruinous state that it was necessary to pull it down.
On its site, on the Nordeinde, there stands now the
handsome residence of Messrs. Ruden and Weiman,
which may justly 132 said to be dedicated to the arts.
THE HAGUE, JHLY 18.—Prince Frederick William,
co-Regent of Hesse, with his consort, the Countess of
Schaumburg and children, arrived here yesterday even-
ing. His Royal Highness has already paid a visit to his
Majesty today.

ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WES-

TERN RAILWAY.

BRISTOL, SATURDAY MORNING.—An accident occurred on
the Great Western Railway yesterday, to the two o'clock down
train, which it is marvellous did not lead to the most fatal re-
sults. The train, which was driven by the Mazeppa engine,
left London at the ordinary time, and arrived at Bath without
the occurrence of anything of an unusual character. After
leaving Bath, it proceeded onwards towards Bristol, till on its
arrival near Salford, when it ran into a timber waggon, which
was overturned on the down rail. The shock, as may be ima-
gined, was a very severe one, and the passengers were thrown
against each other violently. The utmost confusion and alarm
for a while prevailed. We are happy, however, in being able
to state that, with the exception of a gentleman named Ken-
nett, who was slightly cut over one of his temples, none of tho
passengers experienced any it-jury. The stoker was less fortu-
nate, as, in attempting to escape by jumping off the train, he
was dashed w ith such violence against the ground as to occasion
a fracture of his shoulder. lie was immediately picked up, and
medical assistance promptly sent for.
The cause of the accident is thus stated by the Company's
officers at the Bristol station: —A number of trucks, lalen
with timber, were sent up the line, as is the case two or three
times a week, when, on their reaching Salford, a wheel of one
of the carriages broke, by which means it ran off the rail, and
turned over upon the down line. Almost upon the instant,
and before any notice could be given, the two o'clock down
train approached the spot at its usual speed. All possible
means were used to arrest the notice of the engine-driver, who,
upon perceiving what was a-head, signalled the guards, and put
on the breaks. It was, however, too late to avoid the accident.
The progress of the train could not be stopped, and the engine
and tender ran into the overturned timber truck. With the
exception of a second-class, which was much broken, none of
the carriages in the train were damaged or overturned. In-
formation of the occurrence was forwarded on to Bristol, and
the deputy-superintendent, Mr. Martin, proceeded to the spot
with a train of empty carriages, and brought down the pas-
sengers, who arrived in this city at about nine o'clock, to the
great comfort and relief of numerous friends and relatives.

ILLNESS OF LORD CANTERBURY.—We are sorry
to state that on the arrival of the Exeter night mail yesterday
morning, it was discovered that Lord Canterbury, who- was a
passenger by it, was alarmingly ill. A gentleman who tra-
velled with him from Exeter stated, that he was in perfect
health as far as Slough, and in lively conversation with him.
Soon after leaving Slough, however, he was seized with a fit
of apoplexy. He was immediately, on arrival, placed in the
waiting.room, and the medical men in the neighbourhood
summoned, who resorted to the usual remedies of bleeding, &c.
Messengers were sent for Mr. Manners Sutton, and Drs. Chain-
bers and Guthrie, who shortly arrived. Lord Canterbury was then
removed to Southwick-crescent, the residence of his son. We
regret to add, that in answer to inquiries 'made at a late hour
last night it was stated that his Lordship was still in an uncon-
scious state, and that net the slightest hopes were entertained
of his recovery. We understand that his Lordship is in the
65th year of his age.

_c‘va% •eh is
declared to be in a state of diietirba4cpr4rirtisg an in-
creased establishment of police : '
" By the Lord Lieutenant and Councirßafeland.
" A Proclamation.

" Heytesbury,
" Whereas by an Act passed in the sixth year of the reign
of his late Majesty King William the Fourth, entitled An Act
to Consolidate the Laws relating to the Constabulary Force in
Ireland,' it is amongst other things enacted, that it shall and
may be lawful to and for the Lord Lieutenant, or other chief
governor or governors of Ireland, by the advice of the Privy
Council in Ireland, to declare by proclamation, that any county,
county of a city, or county of a town in Ireland, or any baron y
or baronies, half barony or half baronies in any county at large,
or any district of less extent than any barony or half barony te,
be therein specified, is or are in a state of disturbance, and re.
quires or require an additional establishment of police
" And whereas it hath sufficiently appeared to us that the
c,unty of Cavan is in a state of disturbance, and requires an
additional establishment of police.
" Now we, the Lord Lieutenant, by and with the advice of
her Majesty's Privy Council, by virtue of the said Act., and
the powers thereby vested in us, do, by this our procirination,
declare that the said county of Cavan is in a state of d.',st urbance,
and requires an additional establishment of police,
" Given at the Council Chamber in Dublin,
this 16th day of July, 1845. •
"RD. DUBLIN. DONOUGHMORE, EDwD. AJEATir.
" CHARLES KILDARE. F. BLACKEURNE.
"E. BLAKENEY. FRED. SHAW.
" GOD SAVE THE QUEEN."
There is in the same Gazette another proclamation, direct-
ing that additional police shall be placed in three or four ba-
ronies of the county.
This proceeding the Lord Lieutenant is enabled to adopt by
the existing law ; which. if impartially and vigorously enforced,
as it had been by the Whigs, will speedily restore tranquillity
in the district.

The Tory magistrates of Cavan, in their memorial, intimated
to the Lord Lieutenant that they would not be satisfied with
the mere " proclaiming of the county;" they require martial
law. But it is well known that his Excellency is opposed to
such extreme measures, and Mr. Justice Jack-on, in his recent
charge to the Leitrim grand jury, Stated it as his conviction,
that the ordinary law is quite sufficient. If the magistrate; of
Cavan cordially co-operate with the Government, their county
would soon be freed from the violence and excitement produced
by the Orangemen as well as the " Molly Maguires."
There is now a strong military force in Cavan and the other
disturbed counties, and troops are regularly encamped at Drum-
shambo, in the county of Leitrim.
VERDICT AGAINST THE POLICE IN CAVAN.
The inquest on the body of Thomas Tierney, shot by the
police at Lavey, county of Cavan, on the night of the 12th of
July, terminated on Wednesday evening. The deceased, a
young man, aged 20, was the only son and sole support of a
widooed mother. The evidence went to show that no provo-
cation whatever had been given for the firing ; and the jury,
composed of Protestants and Roman Catholics, unanimously
delivered the following verdict, which is virtually one for mur-
der :—" That deceased, Thomas Tierney, came by his death
on the Light of Saturday, the 12th of July instant, in the
townland of Lavey, in the parish of Lavey, and county of
Cavan, in consequence of a gun-shot wound inflicted by Wm.
Farmer, constable in the constabulary, and it does not appear
there was a provocation given."
The correspondent of the Dublin Evening Post says—
" The event gave very great satisfaction to the friends of the
deceased, and also to a large concourse of country people who
were present, and will tend more to restore peace to this part of
the country than additional police or threatened coercion.
" The Coroner immediately issued his warrant for the arrest
of constable Farmer for murder. It is rumoured here to-day
that
`Farmer, instead of being sent to gaol like any other per-
son, is to be kept in the police barrack until the Government
order him to be bailed.
" It behoves the Government not to give the people any
cause to think that a constable, accused of a serious crime, will
be treated differently from one of themselves under similar cir-
cumstances."

ORANGE PROCESSIONS—INQUEST AT ARMAGH.
THURSDA/, JULY 17.-1 he Coroner took his seat this
morning at nine o'clock.

William Kelly examined-1 am sub-inspector of police.
Early on the morning of the 12th July, about eleven o'clock,
I think, being informed that some Orangemen had come
into Armagh, I employed Coulson, a policeman, to watch
them, in order to tell me when any number should assem-
ble. Coulson was a sort of running orderly. Having been
informed by him that a party were assembling at Barrack-
hill, and were preparing for a movement, I went over,
being at that time in the Court-house, to Mr. Paton,
the magistrate for• the county Armagh. He was sitting in
a grand jury-room. I said to him, " Sir, the Orangemen
are assembling, and I think it would be well if you would turn
out the troops." He shook his head, saying, " Oh, there is
no occasion," or words to that direct effect. Sir George
Moly newt was sitting in the window near him, ' I can't say
which I heard. I stepped back and said, " Oh, very well,
Sir." I said this with marked emphasis and gesture, intend-
ing that he should mark the consequences. I had stepped
backwards a pace or two in the act of returning, when he
turned round and said, " Mr. Kelly, are there many of them ?
are they moving 7" I think these were the words he used.
" Why," I replied, "they are actually moving." " Oh, then,"
said he, "go into the secretary's office, and get me a sheet of
paper." I asked Mr. Anderson (county inspector) to get a
sheet of paper for me, as I must fly off immediately and get
out my men, telling him at the time the object of it. Seeing
that Mr. Anderson did not know the direction of the secre-
tary's office, I went to get the paper and two pens myself,
fearing the consequences of delay. I got the paper anti
pens from Mr. Davison, I think. Mr. Paton was at the
dour of the jury-room, into which he walked leisurely. I
saw him head the paper with the date, and the words " City
of Armagh." I said I could not wait for it, and added,
" Sir, 1 must be off to my men, and leave one of my men
to wait for it." I went down stairs. I left one of my
men (Daly) to wait for the document ; I ran down stairs to
College-street, and up to English-street, and saw. an Orange
precession pass, with banners and music. I had ni,t at that
time made any calculation of the number ; seeing Head-con-
stable Lodge at the corner, I took him with me to watch the
movements of the procession. I took him with me to Ban-
brook-hill, being in the direction of Loughgall. Mr. Anderson
and a party of police were immediately in the rear of the whole
party ; having seen them almost out of sight unmolested, clear
of that part of the town, so far as I could see the banners
waving, Mr. Anderson gave orders to countermarch to the
barracks. I saw two of the party, at that early hour of the
day, very drunk. One of them was Mr. Sling—he is very
seldom sober. I don't know the second one. Sling had an
Orange sash. Perhaps Head-constable Lodge does, as I pointed
him out to him, and I said, " I should not wonder if something
happens, bye-and-by, from that fellow's being drunk." Head-
constable Lodge remarked that he feared something might
happen when those persons returned in the evening, to which I
replied, that all we had to do with our small party was closely to
watch their movements ; there were not more than eight dis-
posable men at the time, the rest being employed at the Crown
solicitor's office, as witnesses, to be examined, preparatory to the
assizes. I stationed a man at the same office to give me
word whenever he heard a drum in the distance ; in the course
of the day, I asked Mr. Robinson, J.P. if anything happened
in the course of the evening with regard to the Orange pro-
cession, where and when I could have his services. He re-

plied, Oh, you shall have my services—you'll `most
find me at soy house." At the same time he deprecated or
found fault with it. " I have made it a matter of neck or
nothing with some of my tenants, if they come in to join this
enjoyment," and these were the words 11r. Robinson used, I
think. It was before I saw Mr. Paton that I spoke to Mr.
Robinson. The witness went on to say that having then
heard drums in the direction of Banbrook, he proceeded in
that direction. Saw the Orangemen defiling at the head of
Mill-street. Did all in his power to induce the Orangemen
to go back. Saw one of the Orange party with a long pistol,
firing and resting the pistol on his knee. He took deliberate
and murderous aim. Thinks there were sixty shots fired.
Witness here expressed a wish that Mr. Barnes had renderd
him the assistance he said he did. He caught hold of Mr.
Barnes by the breast and implored him, for God's sake, three
or four times, to go for a magistrate, but he did not go. On
his (witness's) sacred oath, he believed such harm would not
have been done if he had gone.
Mr. Anderson, county inspector, was the next witness;
but his evidence was not material.

Dr. Colvan deposed that he examined the deceased, and
found that he had received a gun-shot wound in the right groin,
from the effects of which he died.

A woman, named Al'Kenn, deposed that she saw an Orange-
man, named Rice, fire the fatal shot.

At half-past seven e'clock the public were excluded from the
room. The jury remained closeted until about ten minutes to
twelve o'clock, when they unanimously agreed to the following
verdict :—" That on the 12th of July last, at Thomas street, in
the city of Armagh, a party of Orangemen, to the number of
150, were marching in procession with banners and music, and
armed with pistols and swords, and that divers persons com-
prising that procession (that is to say, 31 Orangemen, whose
names are set forth on the face of the verdict), aided and as-
sisted by a man unknown to the jury, made an assault on the
person of John Boyle, since deceased ; and that the aforesaid
person did, then and there, in Thomas-street, as aforesaid,
inflict on him, John Boyle, a gun-shot wound, which caused
his death, and of which he died."
