TRE arrNi LONDT_SATURDA

of journeys by omnibus was 1,174, taking the actual journeys made
last year. There would be a station between Kingsland-road and
Newington. There were 4,000 passengers from Newington, and
11,670 from the neighbourhood of Kingsland-road. The schedule
for goods was made on the basis of the Cambridge and Lincoln
calculations, and of course open to the same objection as
had been alleged against that line. The rates were the
same-3d. a ton, the tariff and the calculations being
identical. The charge for grain was to be 14d. per ton ; the quan.
tity carried would be 65,000 tons. He had got this information
from Mr. Ruston, the metage clerk of Mark. lane. He assumed
that 35,000 beasts and 267,000 sheep would come to the Farring-
don.street station during the )ear, considering that half the
cattle would come to the station and "half would be left at Isling-
ton. He had put in, however, additional cattle from Nor-
folk and South Lincolnshire, amounting to 27,000 head of
cattle and above 300,000 sheep during the year. Claims credit
Ear 575,000 sheep altogether. On an average there would be 1,500
beasts a week, and 12,000 sheep carried by the railway. He
took all the passengers from Shoreditch, though he would not
assert that they had the power to compel them to do so. In fact,
he assumed all the traffic of every kind, and added 50 per cent. to
it. The goods were doubled.
In the re-examination of Mr. Webster the witness stated
that he anticipated that the peculiar facilities of the line
would bring all the passengers upon it. The private
traffic was certainly very great. and on a comparison with
the traffic on the Greenwich line, he thought his calculation was
reasonable. The receipts of the Greenwich Company during the
first six months of the present year were 1,044/. per week, the total
being 54,2961. 199. 4d., while for this railway he only took
21,5781., notwithstanding that this railway had no river compe.
tition, went through a more populous district, and would be the
termination of several hundred miles of railway

The Committee then adjourned till twelve on Mond.ty.

1I ELAND.
INQUEST AT BALLINIIASSIG.

The inquest-was resumed on Monday morning. The at-
tendance of magistrates and gentry was no: so large as on the
previous days. A person named William Regan, who wit-
nessed the affray, wns examined. His statement was similar to
that of the preceding witnesses. Hs. declared that he saw no
stones thrown before the commencement of the firing by the

police.
The proceedings were suddenly brought to a conclusion by
the indisposition of one of the jurors ( Mr. Gillman ).
i he CORONER then said they should adjourn, and suggested
that it should be until after to-morrow.

Mr. Scannell objected to such a lengthened adjournment.
CORONER—Let the Doctor be sworn as to hii il!ness.

Dr. Tresilian, having been sworn, said he examined Mr.
Gillman, anti found him very nervous and faintish, and much
in dread of his head, fearing apoplexy. Ile would nut be in a
fit state to sit out the day.
CORONER—CouId he attend to-morrow?—There might be a
possibility : but as he will have to take medicine to-night, it
might be very dangerous :or him to attend to-morrow.
The Court then adjourned until Wednesday at half-past nine
o'clock.

A party of the city constabulary, under the command of Mr.
Inspector Walker, with constables Crowley and Burchill, are
still quartered in the district.

DUBI.IN, WEDNESDAY.—The inquiry was resumed this
day, at ten o'clock, but no new facts were elicited.
THE IRISH PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
DUBLIN, JULY B.—The General Assembly again met on
Monday in the Scotch Church, Capel.street, when a discussion
arose upon a memorial from Belfast, which prayed for the
abandonment of the Regium Donum, on account of the pass-
ing of the Maynooth Bill. The memorial thus concluded :
" That your memoriabsts, as members of the-Presbyterian
Church in Ireland, most earnestly, but most affectionately and
respectfully, pray your reverend body to consider the propriety
of taking immediate steps to render the ministers of your com-
munion independent of all state endowment, your memorialists
hereby declaring their determination to contribute, as in duty
bound, according to the ability wherewith God may bless them,
towards a fund for supplementing to all such ministers an ade-
quate support." _ _

JAMES GIBSON, Esq., as a Commissioner on the part of the
memoriali.ts, supprted the prayer.
The Rev. Dr. CARLILE, having left the chair, proceeded to
address the meeting. He said that in taking his stand there
no person could accuse him of showing favour towards Popery,
for no one could be more impressed than he was with the
withering and soul-destroying character of that heresy. Should
they throw away 35,0001. a 3ear because the Roman Catholics
gained 30,000/.? Sir Robert Peel would say Gentlemen,
here is the money we require to endow Alaynooth." There
was another point too—if it was their duty as Christians to re-
sign the grant because Government had endowed Popery, they
would be bound to call upon the Established Chureh to do the
same. What would the Roman Catholics like better ? How
they would be delighted to take possession of what the Presby-
terians had so magnanimously relinquished ; and, besides,
what was the alter.ative? He objected to the voluntary sys-
tem. He would not object to be supported by Christians, but
to receive support from those who might be enemies to Christ,
was more withering and blasting than to receive any payment
from the hands of Government.

The Rev. Dr. STEWA KT opposed the memorial, and con-
cluded try proposing resolutions in favour of the annual grant
to Irish Presb3terians.
After some discussion, the resolutions proposed by Dr.
Stewart in favour of the continuance of the Regium Donum
were adopted.
PROCLAIMING THE DISTURBED DISTRICTS.

It is stated in Saunders' News Letter that the Lord Lieu-
tenant is prepared to proclaim the disturbed parts of the coun-
ties of Leitrim, Roscommon, and Cavan, on receiving a requi-
sition to that effect from the Lieutenants of the respective
counties.

The troops encamped have had every means taken to secure
their comfort ; the tents have been supplied with timber floor-
ing, raised six inches or more from the ground.
Several log-houses, lined wish sheet iron, have been con-
structed under the superintendence of an eng'neer officer, to
house the police where accommodation cannot be procured for
them. Each log-house is capable of containing ten men. They
have iron bedsteads, wiiich fold up into the smallest possible
compass during the day.
The Newry Telegraph, an Orange journal, makes the fol-
lowing announcement :—All the autiresses of Lords Roden,
Enniskillen, and the other Orange leaders have been unavail-
ing, and processions are to be general on the 12th of July.

ENGLAND'S WOODEN WALLS. —A railing ii bcing
put up round the Wellington statue opposite the Royal Exchange.
The shabby boarding. however, still continues round the Nelson
column. We think, after the handsome present of the Emperor of
they might have bound this work of art in something better
than plain hoards. A column does not improve, any more than
good wine, by being kept too long "in the wood." We certainly
take a pride in giving the column this railing, because we feel that,
if it is left to the public, it will never get one. The committee,
too, we think, requires blowing up just as much as the boards.—

SUDDEN DEATHS.—An old woman, named Mary
Clements, a soldier's widow, who had followed the army through.
out the Peninsular campaign, and was with her husband's regiment
at the battle of Waterloo, dropped down dead at her lodgings, in
George-street, Windsor, while in a state of intoxication, on the
evening of Thursday last. About two hours previously, another
Wceretan, residing in the same street, had died suddenly of a disease
oL. the heart, and Mary Clements was called in to " lay out" the
body. After performing this ceremony, she became more intoxi-
cated,i from taking an additional quantity of beer, and fell down n
an epileptic fit, and instantly expired. She had, just before, been
boasting that the last body was the 356th body she had "laid out"
within the last 36 years.
DISTRESSED NEEDLEWOMEN'S SOCIETY. The
meeting called yesterday, at Exeter Hall, in aid of the funds of
this charity, was adjourned until further notice, on account of the
very small attendance. There were not more than twenty persons
present at half-past two.
FATE or A KlNG.—Monsi,ur Thierrv, who al.'
tempted to establish himself as an independent sovereign in New
Zealand, having disappointed or given umbrage to his barbarous
subjects, was recently cooked, and eaten by them at a solemn
public banquet.—Edinburgh Advertiser.
We believe we can state that the disagreeable re-
velations contained in the report of the Committee appointed to
consider the petition of the South-Eastern Railway, have rendered
it imperative on Captain Boldero and Mr. Bonham to resign the
office.; held by them in the Board of Ordnance.—Times.
Tito Courtier de Lyon mates that on '1 uesday the
thermometer in that city marked 107 of Fahrenheit in the shade,
and that there was not the slightest indication of the approach
of ran.
I ROME, ,JUNE 28. A 111311;w of the celebrated
Amati was arrested in his lodgings last night, and conveyed to
the Castle of St. Angelo. He frequented the Vatican Library,
and made extracts from rare manuscripts, but he had taken the
liberty of cutting off the leaves of several of them, and pocketing
them.
HANOVER, JULY 4.—The Crown Prince and
Princeses intend to leave this city to morrow for Norderney, where
they will stay some weeks, for the benefit of sea-bathing. It has
been reported that, on account of the delicate condition of the
Princess, their Royal Highnesses would not go to the baths this
year, but this determination has been suddenly altered with the
consent of the King.
CLAREMONT.—An extensive and convenient range
of stabling and coach-houses has been completed at Claremont for
the accommodation of the horses and carriages belonging to her
Majesty when the Court is at that delightful residence.
FIRE NEAR THE BLACKERIARS-ROAD.—Thursday
morning, shortly after one, a fire broke out on the premises of
Mr. Downey, grocer and cheesernonger, '26, Cross.strect, Black-
friars• road. Several engines were quickly on the spot, and after
some trouble the flames were extinguished, but not before very
serious damage was done, nearly the whole of the stock in the shop
being destroyed by fire or water. The occupier was insured in
the London Office.

LAhGE GCOSEBERRY.—A day or two ago a goose-
berry was pulled in the garden of Mr. William Stirling, of Kirkintil_
loch, which measured 4 3,4 by 43y inches. This gigantic berry
belongs to the class of Lancashire berries, known by the name of
the "companion," anti is not likely to be matched, even in Dum-
fries-shire. —Glasgow Argus.
TEETOTALISM.—"Arrah, Teddy dear, will you tell
me what is the meaning of teettrotalism? Is it repale ?" Teddy
took his pipe out of his mouth, and deliberately said, " It's not
repale, Dennis, but it's like it. Ilepale is dividing a sister from
her mother. Teetwotalism is cutting the heart out of a man, and
sticking a lump of cold water in its place."
NOTTINGHAM AND LINCN.I.N LlNE.—Persons have
been actively employed during the past week in staking the course
of the line, which we understand is to be completed in April next.
—Nottingham Journal.
TUE AGATE STONE.—It was stated a days
since that agate seals, imported into this country from the Conti-
nent, made of agate stone, and formed into the shape of seals, re.
quiring only to be engraved in order to render them a complete
manufactured article, and tit for their intended purpose, were to
be considered goods manufactured, and charged with the ad va.
lorcm duty of twenty per cent. A question has since been made
with respect to brooches, made of the same kind of stone, which
have undergone a manufacturing process beyond cutting, being in-
laid, and, therefore, though not set in any other material, were in a
certain degree manufactured. It has been decided that such ar-
ticles cannot be admitted free of duty, as " agates not set," accord-
ing to the meaning of the new Act 6th Victoria, chap. 12, in re-
spect thereto, but are also to be charged as goods, wares, &c., in
part or wholly manufactured, with the ad valorem duty of twenty

per cent.
The Eclit,burzh awl Northern Railway, which
occupied so much time in the House of Commons, and which went
triumphantly through the ordesi of that inquiry, is cast for Tues-
day next to come before a Committee of the House of Lords.
The Bill is to undergo a vigorous opposition, notwithstanding that
Lord Campbell last night presented a petition from the county of
File in its favour, signed by 18,000 persons.
