LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF PANkRtIPTCY, bd. 23.
(Before Sir C. P. WILLIAMS).
IN THE NATTER OF THOMAS FRIEND.
The insolvent, an appraiser, at Canterbury, applied by
his counsel, Mr. Hughes, for his final order, and was
opposed by Mr. Sturgeon, on the part of Mr. Delausaix,
a creditor to the amount of above 301. The circum-
stances were these. The insolvent had accepted two bills
of the respective sums of 201. and 101. in favour of a Mr.
Baker, and had upon these bills paid three instalments.
They had been, at a subsequent period, passed into the
hands of the opposing creditor in this case, who brought
an action against Mr. Friend in the Sheriffs' Court at
Greenwich, for the amount. The defendant entered a
plea that he had not accepted the said bills, but was cast
in the amount at issue, namely, about 151., with 191. of
costs. The insolvent was this day opposed on the plea
of vexatious defence in that action. Mr. Hughes said,
that if an adjournment were given he should prove by
the evidence of Mr. Baker, that the insolvent's debt to
him had been but 31., and that was, therefore, all the
amount the bills really carried when paid over to Mr.
Delausaix. All things considered, he did not think the
defence before the Sheriff a vexatious one; and were the
whole case properly sifted, he did not doubt that the
Hon. Commissioner would come to the conclusion that
the insolvent was, in truth, an injured man.
Sir C. WlLLlests said, that in order to give him every
chance, he should adjourn the passing of the final order
till Friday next, when they might produce Baker in
evidence.

Cross-examined by Mr. dneiriocii— Sif Itoss Don-
nally was feeble minded though he was a hale old man.
Dr. Warburton—Had visited the prisoner six times
since the unfortunate event for which he stood at the
bar, and from those visits he was firmly convinced that
the prisoner was of unsound mind, and was so at the
time the transaction took place. Witness believed that
the prisoner committed the act when his mind was in a
state of uncontrol.
Cross-examined by Mr. Cammocs—Witness's opi-
nion as to the state of mind of the prisoner was formed
from his visits to him, and what he had seen that day in
Court.
Mr. CHAANOCIE replied.
Mr. Justice MAULE summed up, and
The jury found the prisoner Not Guilty, on the ground
of insanity.
The prisoner was then ordered to be detained during
her Majesty's pleasure.

NEW COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
Ann Smith and George Davis, the latter described as a
bootmaker, and both of whom were remanded from last
session, were indicted with stealing a watch, a gold pin,
and 145., the property of John Horsford, from his person.
The prisoners were Acquitted.

any intention to steal the child, were committed for
trial, the Magistrate observing, that it was a case of i
a very remarkable description.
gE IY.SQUARE.
On Tuesday Bridget Stanton, a female apparently
about thirty years of age, of respectable appearance
and good address, who possessed some claims to per-
sonal beauty, was charged with being drunk and dis-
orderly on the previous afternoon.
A police-constable proved having found her in
Grosvenor-place. She was insulting ladies and gen-
tlemen who passed, and endeavoured to force her way
into two or three houses. She was drunk, and fre-
quently spat at people.
Mr. BOND inquired what answer she had to the
charge ? Defendant-4 went to Grosvenor-place,
Sir, to have an interview with Sir J. Graham. I
wanted redress at his hands. I know Lady Graham
well. I have Guernsey and Ireland both in my hands.
lam a soldier's daughter. My brothers have been
soldiers. I cannot spend money in Guernsey.
The constable intimated to the Magistrate his
opinion that the lady was deranged.
Mr. BOND put several questions to the unfortunate
female, in order to ascertain whether she had any
friends in London.
Her answers were very incoherent, but she stated
that she received an allowance through the hands of a
gentleman named Whitehead, at Chelsea.
Mr. BOND directed that that gentleman should be
sent for, and on his arrival, he had a few minutes'
conversation with the magistrate.
It appears that the unfortunate female has been
subject to fits of temporary insanity for upwards of
seven years, and had been confined in several lunatic
asylums. Her malady had been brought on from ex-
cessive drinking, and nothing will induce her to re-
frain from ardent spirits. But little of her history
is known, except that she once carried on business as
a milliner, and received the patronage of persons of
rank, and that Mr. Whitehead has a small fund plaised
at his disposal for her benefit, but by whom does not
appear.
Mr. BOND directed that she should be taken
George's Workhouse for the present.

IRELAND.
REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
DUBLIN, OCT. 21.—The usual weekly meeting of
the Association was held this day in Conciliation
Hall. The chair was taken by Counsellor Mackey.
The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed the meeting, con-
fining his observations to the registry, and congratu-
lated the Association on the success which attended
its exertions.
Dr. NAGLE read a letter from Mr. Henry Grattan,
M.P., which accompanied a presentation of 100 copies
of the memoirs of his father, the late Mr. Grattan, to
the Association. The letter went at considerable
lenghth into the policy of establishing repeal reading-
rooms through the country, and dwelt on the benefits
that would unquestionably be derived from them.
The writer contrasted the extensive system of educa-
tion that prevailed in America with that existing in
this country, and then observed, " that it would be
for the Association to follow up the great example
afforded by that country, and for ward the establish-
ment of libraries everywhere, and support these read-
ing-rooms throughout the country. With that view
I beg to place at the disposal of the Association 100
copies of ths memoirs of the late Mr. Grattan, amount-
ing to 400 octavo volumes. They comprise the most
interesting period of Irish history ; they set forth the
proceedings of 1782, and detail the successful efforts
of the glorious and immortal volunteers ; they con-
tain authentic letters of the ablest statesmen in Ire-
land and England, and official documents that never
before appeared. They may serve to raise the cha-
racter of that country which it is now the fashion to
depress, and rescue from oblivion the most glorious
period of her annals, when her people were strong
and generous, but, alas, too credulous and too con-
fiding; they may teach the rising generation to re-
vere the memory of those departed patriots who
struggled so nobly for their liberties ; may still
cherish the virtues of her people ; may generate a
race of patriots; and thus convert them into a race of
heroes.' The Honourable Gentleman then moved a
vote of thanks to Mr. Grattan for his magnificent
donation, which was seconded by the Hon. Mr. Hut-
chinson, and passed with acclamation.
Mr. MAURICE O'CONNELL handed in 201. from Wa-
terford, 81. 18s. 6d. from Glasgow ; and then ob-
served, that he had to present the Association with a
proof that the cause of repeal was making considerable
progress amongst their sturdy countrymen, the Pres-
byterians of the north. The Hon. Gentlemen then
handed in several contributions from the north, in-
cluding 291. 10s. from Dungibbon, county of Derry;
and 61. 16s. from Dungannon ; and moved a marked
vote of thanks to the subscribers.
The Hon. Mr. HETCHINSON, in seconding the mo-
tion, said, that from the information he had been able
to obtain, he could fully bear out the observations of
Mr. O'Connell with regard to the spread of repeal
principles in the north of Ireland.
Mr. O'NEILL DAUNT (having handed in 71. from
Airdrie, in Scotland), had the disagreeable duty de-
volved upon him of moving " That the names of two
Scotch repeal wardens, who had publicly avowed
themselves ribbonmen, should be struck off the books
of the Association." It was on the representation of
their fellow-wardens, that the course was adopted. It
had been said that O'Connell encouraged ribbonism.
To that calumnious assertion he would reply, that it
was as false as hill.
Mr. M. O'CoamELL seconded the motion ; and then
proceeded to denounce emphatically the ribbon sys-
tem, stigmatising it as injurious to the best interests
of the country. In concluding, he observed, that if
the individuals in question did not retract their senti-
ments, and express a regret for their conduct, be-
fore that day fortnight, he would feel it his duty
to move that their names be publicly exposed on the
walls of the Conciliation-hall..
Captain BRODERICK and the Hon. Mr. HUTCHIN.
EON severally addressed the meeting, and their obser-
vations were warmly received by the meeting.
After some routine business had been disposed of,
Mr. M. O'CoNNELL announced the rent for the week

to be 3911. 6s.
The meeting then adjourned.
MUNSTER DINNER TO MR. O'CONNELL.
A circular has been issued, announcing that Mr.
O'Connell has fixed upon Wednesday, the 20th Nov.,
for the provincial dinner in Limerick. Mr. O'Con-
nell is to arrive in Limerick on that day, on his re•
turn from Darrynane Abbey.
STATE OF TIPPERARY.

on Thursday, Mr.
SeArgteaCnit"
said—" In looking over the calendar, I find that there
el
Rowley,Quarter in
ad Sessionsaddressing the grand jury,
are T 3 cases of indictments to come before you, in
which 124 persons are charged with different offences.
Certainly, gentlemen, with this calendar before me, I
cannot say anything satisfactory—and there is one
case of highway robbery. Many of these cases have
been attended with force, and I cannot congratulate
you on the state of this division of your county. I am
also sorry to hear that in the other districts the calen-
dars are equally heavy."
THE MATHEW TESTIMONIAL.

The announcement that Father Mathew is in.
volved in pecuniary embarrassments, in consequence
of his sacrifices in promoting the cause of tem-
perance, has :produced the deepest feelings of sym-
pathy in the public mind, and an effort will at once
be made to raise the subscriptions to the Mathew
Testimonial to an amount somewhat commensurate
with the invaluable services rendered to the Irish
people by the apostle of temperance. Mr. Purcell,
who originated the Mathew Testimonial, and who
has been suffering under a serious and protracted ill-
ness, has recently written a letter from which the
following is an extract :—" My sanguine hope was,
that every one would join with us in some suitable
acknowledgment to Father Mathew for services ren-
dered, and which are now found to be permanent. If
we are disappointed, we can only then call our com-
mittee together, and dispose of the money received in
any way they think proper. Not one-twentieth of the
grand folks who signed the requisition paid a farthing !
The amount at interest in the funds is 1,0001., and
about 400/. in bank, subject to some small deductions
for printing, &c."
MELANCHOLY DEATH OF J. WALSH, ESQ.
The Dublin papers of Monday publish the follow-
ing details of the death of Mr. Walsh, the barrister
by drowning, noticed briefly in our paper of yester-
day :
" Having been engaged during the early portion of
the day in the discharge of his professional avocations
at the Insolvent Court, Strand-street, Mr. Walsh
quitted court about twelve o'clock, and proceeded to
his house in Lower Dominick-street, and after re-
maining there for about three-quarters of an hour, he
left home at one o'clock, accompanied by his favourite
dugs, two fine animals of the Newfoundland breed,
for the purpose of taking a walk in the country—a
recreation to which he had been always much at-
tached. He proceeded, as was his usual practice, in
the direction of the Royal Canal, and at half-past one
or two o'clock was observed by police-constable
Rendle, 83 D, who was on duty in the immediate
vicinity of the Tolka-bridge, which lies in a valley to
the right of the canal outside the city, and is distant
about an English mile from the village of Phibsbo-
rough. The constable was standing on some high
pasture lands which overhang the bridge, and from
that position saw a gentleman, who was accompanied
by two dogs, cross the bridge. This gentleman--
who from appearance he immediately supposed to be
Mr. Walsh—though the distance between them was
too great to admit of identification by features—
turned into the valley on the right, which lies in the
direction of Finglass, and was walking leisurely with
his dogs by the side of the river Tolka, when he was
lost to the constable's view. The constable had not
proceeded many yards upon his beat, when his atten-
tion was arrested by a scream, and turning his eyes
in the direction of the river he saw a man's head
above the surface of the water—his bands were lifted

to his eyes—his hat was floating on the stream, and
the dogs were howling on the shore. The constable.
ran down the valley with all possible expedition, but
before he had reached the spot the unfortunate gentle-
man had sunk, never again to rise a living man. The
place into which he fell is a quarry-hole, or, more
properly speaking, an enormous pit of from sixty to
eighty feet deep, which lies in the bed of the river,
elsewhere shallow and insignificant, and the exact si-
tuation of the spot will be understood by those who
are conversant with the locality, when it is stated that
it lies immediately opposite to the residence of Cap-
tain Mackenzie, in the valley leading to Finglass-
wood. The general impression is, that one of the
dogs was swimming in the quarry-hole, and that Mr.
Walsh, in stooping over the bank for the purpose of
lifting him out of the water, lost his footing, and was
precipitated into the pit. The bank is exceedingly
steep and slippery, sinking abruptly within half a
yard of the shore to the enormous depth already
;tasted; but had the lamented gentleman been able to
swim he n-.1',,,,rht possibly have saved himself, as a few
strokes would have !xought him to the other side
where, the bank being level, a L.= r.,tling could be easily
effected. Other reports state that he !.ad a
.cord or
chain attached to the collar of one of the arnils, a
dog of remarkable size and strength, which suddenly
jumped into the water, dragging the deceased along
with him ; however, the truth of this statement is not at
all confirmed, for we could not ascertain, although we
made particular inquiries, that either of the dogs
was seen in the water, or had the appearance of
being recently wet. The constable, who on arriving
on the spot found Mr. Walsh's umbrella lying on
the bank, lost no time in giving the alarm. A large
group of villagers and several of the police force
crowded to the scene of the tragic event, and boats
were procured with as much expedition as was pos-
sible under the circumstances, for the purpose of hav-
ing the river dragged; but more than two hours and
a half elapsed before the body was discovered. When
at length it was drawn up, and that the worst appre-
hensions as to the identity of the deceased were con-
firmed, it is impossible to conceive anything more
heartrending than the anguish endured by his friends
and relatives, who had assembled on the shore to wit-
ness the mournful sight. He was attired in a black frock
coat, lights tweed trousers,velvet waistcoat, and white
neckcloth. The unfortunate gentleman had 161. and
a very valuable gold watch, together with keys and
other articles, upon his person. The watch had
stopped at ten minutes after two o'clock. The body
was conveyed to the cottage of a peasant residing in
the neighbourhood.
" Mr. Walsh was a zealous and eloquent advocate,
and enjoyed an excellent reputation as a criminal
lawyer. His practice was becoming every day more
extensive, and his professional emoluments, particu-
larly during the last three years of his life, must have
been very great.
"Ile was formerly a very leading member of the
Trades' Union, and subsequently edited a weekly
paper called The People. When going to the fatal
place from whence he never returned alive, he gave
ls. 6d. in charity to a little girl who was working in
an adjoining field ; after the body was taken up, the
object of his benevolence wept bitterly over the re-
mains of her benefactor."
TIIE INQUEST. _ '

James M'Carthy, Esq., one of the connty
coroners, held an inquest upon the body of the de-
ceased, at seven o'clock in the evening, in the Brian
Boroihme public-house, adjoining the scene of the
lamentable accident.
The only witness called was police-constable Jo-
seph Rendle, 83 D, who deposed as follows, in answer
to the coroner :—I was stationed upon duty at the
cross ground near Glasnevin this day, between two
and three o'clock, when I saw a man in the quarry-
hole in Tolka Park, at Finglass, which is filled with
water and very deep. I first heard dogs barking,
shortly after two o'clock, and when I looked in the
direction of the noise, I saw a man in the water, who
seemed to be standing up, with his hands upon his
forehead ; his head was partly over the water, and I
heard him shout once or twice. He remained in that
position for about three minutes, when I called some
men who were in an adjoining field to come over to
the quarry, saying " That there was some person
drowning." I then went down to the quarry as quick
as possible, but the deceased had disappeared, and did
not again rise before I arrived at the spot; there was
a hat floating on the water, and an umbrella upon the
weeds adjoining the place where the deceased was
found. It was lying up against the bank. When I
heard him cry out I called on the men, and one or
two of them came up in a few minutes, but the body
had then sunk. I saw some children near the place,
about 400 perches from the quarry. The eldest child
was about thirteen years of age. I did not see any
persons pass away from the body ; if they did I should
have seen them. I searched for the body in about
fifteen or t•=•enty minutes after.
The inquest was then (at half-past seven o'clock)
adjourned until. Monday evening, at seven ; shortly
after which the remains of the deceased were removed
in a shell to his residence, in Dominick-street.

inflammatory action all along the spinal canal. The
viscera of the chest and abdomen were healthy.
CORONER—To what cause do you attribute death ?
Witness—To paralysis of the phrenic nerve, caused
by disease of the spine, attributable probably to some
sudden external jar. He could not, however, trace
the origin of the injury. He did not think death re-
sulted from natural causes, but was the effect of some
species of violence to the sacrum.
By the CORONER—Mr. Brenton told me, as his
wife's medical adviser, how the affair occurred.

RUSSIAN DISASTERS IN DAG-
HISTAN.

(From the Malta Times of Oct. 1.)

The following extract from the letter of a traveller
in Georgia will give some.idea of the results of the
late Russian campaign in Daghistan. Every reli-
ance may be placed upon the impartiality of the ac-
count :

"It was publicly announced, a few days ago, that
the carriplign in Daghistan had terminated, and that
the troops are _immediately to be withdrawn into
winter quarters. liarous rumours of victories have
been circulated in Tiflis, :nd there is no doubt that,
in a province so generally disaffe,?ted as Georgia, it is
highly necessary that the Governmec* should coun-
tenance any favourable impression. It has done
so by many official declarations, and by the
bestowal of honours and rewards upon various officers
employed in the expedition. I must admit, however,
that all those who are acquainted with the nature of
recent events in the mountains, and even many mili-
tary men of eminence, confess that the campaign has
not only been fruitless, but that the want of success
will, probably hereafter, lead to very disastrous re-
sults. This is already evident from the serious mis-
understanding which exists between the Russian
commanders, from the general discontent which pre-
vails amongst the troops, from the frequent desertions,
and from the extension of the rebellion to various
tribes, which have hitherto been considered faithful to
the Imperial Government. As the secrecy, which is
invariably observed by the Russian authorities, pre-
cludes the possibility of obtaining any authentic
details of the war, the following 'sketch must furnish
you with a general idea of its great importance, ai:d
of its results :

" You are probably aware that it was only two
years ago that the Russian Government became se-
riously alarmed at the revolt of the mountainous pro-
vince of Daghistan. This province, you must re-
member, is not to be confounded with Circassia, as, I
believe, it frequently is in Europe. Circassia has
never submitted to Russia, and has opposed the pro-
gress of her arms for many years. Daghistan is con-
siderably to the east of independent Circassia, and
has acknowledged, like other parts of Georgia, the
supremacy of Russia. The revolt, in 1842, was
headed by one Shamil Bey, who had long previously
been endeavouring to league the mountaineers
against their northern rulers. This chief had
been partly educated in the Russian capital, and has
consequently acquired some insight into the nature of
Russian policy. He was known to be a man of superior
abilities and of great personal courage, and to possess
a very considerable influence amongst the tribes of
Daghistan: A rebellion beaded' by such a leader
was, of course, extremely formidable. Last year a
vigorous attempt was made by the Russian Govern-
ment to suppress it, but the expedition sent against
Shamil Bey was completely defeated, with great loss.
This chief, after the retreat of the Russian troops, not
satisfied with their expulsion from Dagbistan, carried
his arms into the neighbouring Provinces, took by
assault several fortresses, and almost completely in-
tercepted the great lines of communication between
the northern and southern parts of Georgia. In the
spring of this year preparations on a vast scale were
made by the Government to effect the submission of
Shamil Bey, and to restore tranquillity to the disaf-
fected province. It was even reported that the Em-
peror himself would either be present in the campaign, or
would in person inspect the troops, and determine
the plan of operations. No one doubted the success
of an expedition of such magnitude, in which a com-
paratively small body of rude mountaineers was
matched against more than 50,000 disciplined and
experienced troops. It was even expected . that the
very report of so large an armament would ensure
the immediate submission of the rebels. Eventually,
the chief command was conferred Upon General Neid-
hart, the three divisions of the army being placed
under Generals ',eiders, Gourko, and Dolgourouky.
It was decided that the invasion should be made at
three different points, and the district of Awouria was
chosen as the most vulnerable place of attack. The
campaign was opened in the spring. The Russian
troops advanced without much opposition. It was the
policy of Shamil Bey to avoid a battle, to retreat be-
fore the enemy, carrying off with him the inhabitants
of the country, and to harass the Russian army by
attacking its flank and rear during its march, and by
cutting off its supplies. The mode of warfare, com-
bined with the natural difficulties of the country,
soon checked the progress of the invaders, and placed
them in very serious difficulties. In August, although,
the various corps d'armee had formed a. junction, ac-
cording to the original plan, and although some
slight advantages had been gained,' no material step,
whatsoever had been made towards the effectual paci-
fication of the province. Supplies and forage would
be soon wanting—the troops suffered the severest
privations, and the army had lost, the greater part of
its horses. Many desertions ensued, and a conse-
quent very material augmentation of the forces of
Shamil Bey, particularly of his artillery,. to which'
Europeans were essential. At length a general coun-
cil of war was held at General Neidbart's head-
quarters, in which it was resolved to abandon the.
campaign for this year, to evacuate- most of the'
places recently occupied, to build one or two de.
tached forts on the frontiers, and to withdraw the
troops for the winter.
" The failure of the expedition is attributed as
much to the incapacity of the Russian Generals and
to their mutual jealousies as to the courage and con-
duct of Shamil Bey. It is certain, however, that
throughout the campaign the mountain chief has
shown a consummate military skill. His personal
gallantry and daring have merited even the admira-
tion of his enemies. I am informed, that on more than
one occasion, at the head of one or two thousand
men, he forced his way through the Russian lines.
" The result of the retreat of the Russian forces is
already visible among the Georgian tribes, which
are naturally disaffected to the Russian Govern-
ment, and whose submission is only secured by
fear. The successes of Shamil Bey will encou-
rage them in throwing off the yoke, and many
have already joined his standard. Should all the tribes
of the Caucasus, including the Circassians, acknow-
ledge Shamil Bey as their chief, and place themselves
under his direction, the power of Russia in Georgia
will probably be most materially shaken. As this
chief is a Mussulman, it is generally believed that he
has preached a kind of religious crusade against the
Christians, and that it is the pretended sanctity of his
character as a Shiek which constitutes his only claim
to the sympathies of the mountaineers; but I am
assured, by a person well informed upon the subject,
that such is not the case, and that he relies entirely
upon his military fame, and upon the universal detesta-
tion of Russian rule which reigns amongst the tribes
of the Caucasus.
" The account which I have given you above will
prove the impossibility of exploring, for the present,
at least, the mountains of Georgia.'

NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY. - The contractors,
Messrs. Ross and Mitchell, are getting rapidly forward
at Cockburnspath with this work. They have laid above
1,200 yards of temporary rails, and have above 400
workmen employed. One of the workmen, named
Romanis, from Stow, ;was returning home on Sunday
night to his house in Little Dublin, when he lost his way,
and fell over Linhead Linn, a height of sixty feet—the
first fall being twenty-five, and the, second thirty-five
feet. He was sadly injured, and, when found, was
carried to Mr. Weatherley's, Linhead, who immediately
sent for medical aid, when his wounds were dressed, and
he is now in the way of recovery. They are getting
fast on with erecting planks, &c., for Dunglass Dean
Bridge, which is to have six arches. It is not yet known
when the foundation will be laid, but it will not be for a
month to come.—"Berwick Advertiser.

FRENCH NAVAL EXPERIMENTS.—Some experi-
ments of a highly interesting nature (observes the Con-
stitutionnel) took place some days ago in the port of
Brest. Some percussion balls were tried after having
been laid by fir several years, in order to ascertain, whe-
ther, after a prolonged exposure to the marine atmos-
phere, the permanent humidity of the shores was not
capable of injuring them, inasmuch as it generally hap-
pens that the fusees of ordinary shells are completely use-
less for service after the expiration of one year. The
results were highly satisfactory, and left no doubt as to
the perfect conservation of the new projectiles. Thus
M. le Commandant Billette will have conferred upon the
navy the advantage of a new and terrible instrument of
warfare. That officer has just adapted his system of
percussion to hollow balls or shells destined for carro-
nades of 30, 24, and 18 ; and thus all our cannons will
henceforth be capable of expelling explosive projectiles.
With the powerful destructive agents now in our power,
battles will be of a very short duration, and victory will
be obtained by the ship which shall first succeed in send-
ing on board her adversary a small number of these ex-
plosive shells. But victory or defeat will be greatly de-
cided by the accuracy of aim, to which every attention
should be paid. M. Billet'e has also proposed a ut.i4
mode of firing pieces, more instantaneous than that Ow
in use, and capable of affording the most accurate aim.
New experiments are about to be made on hoard he
different frigates now in port. If the hopes of the in;
ventor are realised, a great step will have been gaiueYl iti
the science of naval gunnery ; in fine, the problent,a in-
stantaneous ignition will be solved, and cannon ball's will
fly with the velocity of thought.
