Four thousand Austrians commanded by Count Ra-

manifested itself at Bologna and elsewhere. This inter-

the Austrian and Peidmontese governments; hut our
contemporary through whose columns these announce-

material points--viz., whether this intervention has been
solicited by the Papal Cabinet, and whether France has
been consulted thereon

The Trent steamer, with the West India mail, bringing
advices from Jamaica to the 23d of September, and from
the other islands to corresponding dates, has arrived, but
the news so received is not of prominent interest. It ap-
pears that the weather had been seasonable for the crops,
and that the plantations gave promise of a good harvest.
The Jamaica and Planters' Banks had held their half-
yearly meetings, the former declaring a dividend of 41per
cent., and the latter a dividend of 5 per cent. The Ja-
' maica Bank had suffered losses to the extent of £B,OOO,
during the last six months, and the reserve fund was
therefore, to a certain extent, trenched upon to maintain
' the usual rate payable to the proprietors. The late fire at
Kingston still occupied the attention of the colonists, and
preparations were on foot for rebuilding the destroyed
portion of the city on a more convenient plan. Liberal
contributions continued to be received in aid of the suffer-
ers; and on the meeting of the House of Assembly,
shortly to take place, a vote of the public funds was ex-
pected to be one of the first measures discussed. At
Trinidad, Demerara, and Barbadoes, political matters
were not engaging much notice, and affairs in general ap-
peared to be moving in a quiet and peaceably way.
AN EXPENSIVE CANE.—The Duchess de Montijo, a
Spanish lady, whose daughter is about to be married to
the Duke of Berwick and Alba, has just sent to Madrid a
magnificent set of presents to her daughter and her fu-
ture son in-law. But the most curious and expensive
specimen of her taste is a Malay cans of great delicacy
and just proportions, in ornamenting which so liberal an
outlay of small diamonds, emeralds and amethysts has
been made, that the whole cost amounts to no less than
14,000 f. £560 sterling. The Duchess, on being reproach-
ed by one of her friends for this lavish waste of money
replied, " You are quite right ; the sum is considerable ;
but when one marries a daughter to a Duke of Berwick
and Alba one cannot hesitate about expense." In Rus-
sia, when a marriage takes place, the father of the bride
places in the. hand of the son-in-law a stick, not thicker
however, than his thumb, with the liberal use of which
th e domestic felicity of the young couple is to be ar-
ranged. It is to be hoped that the Duchess de Montijo
had no such ideas present to her mind in selecting the
Malay cane as a present to her yendre. Let it rather be
supposed that the choice nronerds T.:-L

THE CAPTURE AND DEATH OF AN

ALLIGATOR,

From the Calcutta Star.)

A very large alligator was hooked and safely landed at
the Acra Farm on Saturday evening last. The hook,
which was a single barb and straight shank, about eleven
inches long, had entered the back part of the right upper
jaw, and, passing round the cheek bone, came but above
the eye. It may be mentioned for the guidance of fisher-
men that the hook above described is far preferable to the
small grapnel-shaped affair which has been thought ne-
cessary for this game. But the probabilities are, that this
fellow would have taken any hook, for he was ravenous,
and it was not thought necessary even to float the bait,
but drawing it a few feet out of the water on the mud, two
hands were left to watch and report progress. When all
was quiet he came straight at it and made no bones about
it. The word was passed, and by the time he had rolled
himself over and over two or three times, some fifty bands
were hanging on to a 24 inch rope, and " pull devil, pull
baker" was the order of the day till he was safely housed,
a matter of no slight difficulty, as may be supposed, con-
sidering that with his tail he could manage a range of
about 16 feet. He appeared to have remained perfectly
motionless during the night, being found in the morning
just as he was left. It may be mentioned, that the off
hind leg was gone at the first joint, that is, the foot was
wanting, or hand, for their extremities are much more
like hands than feet. There are five fingers, three of
which have large and long nails upon them, and the other
two are scaled to the very tip. He was maimed also in
the near fore flapper, and had evidently been in the wars.
They are known to fight desperately with each other about
their prey, and this one had been maimed for life without
a pension ; the stump was well rounded off, and the injury
not have been a recent one.
Some fortnight ago a child was taken away in this neigh-
bourhood by an alligator, while filling some water vessels,
and it was thought most probable it might be the monster
now under sentence. Gentlemen who amuse themselves
with firing ball at this kind of large game may save their
powder and lead. The trials made with a rifle show how
heavy the odds are againsl doing anything with them.
There was some difference of opinion as to whether a rifle
ball would pass through him, supposing it was not to
strike the scales. The first one fired with a view to this
experiment entered the side below the strong scales of the
back, and the brute took not the slightest notice of it ;
and a second, near the same spot, which seemed not to
trouble him in the least; neither of them passed through, ,
though they were fired from a distance of not more than
ten feet. He was now stirred up in the rere with a long
pole, and he turned upon his assailant with a ferocity that
was terrific ; people talk of aligators not being able to turn
easily ; he was round with the rapidity of a flash ; the re-
port, when he opened his jaws to the full extent, and
closed them in his rage, was incredibly loud, and gave a
tolerable idea of the enormous power of the jaws. A third
shot was now fired, with the view of finishing him, if pos-
sible ; and the aim was behind the large raised scales, at
the extreme end of the head, so as to break the spine. ,
This would appear to have been done, for he turned upon
his back, and did not again recover his position. After a
fourth ball, and a most careful search for his heart with a
bayonet and a spear, a rope was passed over him and he
was dragged out, giving ever and anon sufficient warning
of the propriety of standing aloof. A fifth ball in the spine
app ?aced to settle him ; and on passing the taps along his
back he measured, to a nicety, sixteen feet six inches;
but his tail too had been curtailed eighteen inches less
than one caught in the same place about three years ago,
and of which a very perfect skeleton was made on the
farm, taken to England by Mr. Waterhouse, and depo-
sited in a museum in Yorkshire. With a heavy axe he
was now divided just abaft his hind legs. The next pro-
cess was an interesting one--the examination of the sto-
mach. It contained but little; portions of the skull of a
child, the thigh bones, sonic smaller ones, and the bones
of one hand, a quantity of straw, a large ball of hair, about
four feet of inch rope, and six or eight bangles, two or
three of which were of-silver. Having cut off the head
and weighed it, it was found to be, to an ounce, 2 cwt.
The muscular action in the tail end, about 6 or 7 feet, was
extraordinary, for, on inserting a knife to expose the fat,
which here lies in thick layers, the whole mass, saving
only the chump. was thrown into violent motion; and,
after performing -veral gyrations almost on end, struck
the ground with f - traordinary violence. This was the
effect of every insertion of the knife, and it could not have
been less than an hour after it was severed from the body.
The head, by the by, was five feet 8 inches round the jaws,
and 3 feet 6 inches long. It is cleaned and preserved.'
The fat from the body was carefully taken off by native
operators, it being highly valued as an external applica-
tion for rheumatism, &c.

---.•.-

The entire proceedings of Monday having been for-
warded to us by our correspondent, per the mail-
packet, we hastened to present the following account
to our readers in a Third Edition :

Dublin, Monday, Half-past Eight, p.m

--- • .
As I had anticipated, the proceedings at the " Concilia-
tion Hall" extended to an unusually late hour. The
most important feature of the day was the adhesion of
Mr. Smith O'Brien, M.P., for Limerick. to the Repeal
Association in unqualified terms. The meeting at past
six o'clock adjourned min one o'clock to-morrow, the
rent for the week was announced to be, as far as could be
ascertained up to six o'clock, £2284; numerous communi-
cations containing remittances had arrived, the amount
of which had not been ascertained at the hour of adjourn-
ment, and which will therefore be carried to next week's
account. A government reporter was in attendance.

the organisation displayed by the incendiaries in lighting
these signal fires was almost incredible. The meaning
of those fires we cannot ascertain, but of this we are cer-
tain, that they are intended for no good purpose.
The Cork Constitution also says :hat " in the direction
of Donoughmore the hills were all " ablaze" on Thurs-
day evening. The lighting commenced about ten o'clock,
and soon after scores of fires were seen flaming round the
country. Are there," our contemporary remarks, " any
ill-advisers egging on the unfortunate people—urging
them on to deeds which they will by-and-by bewail in
blood ?"

The Limerick Chronicle thus confirms the above state-
ments :—"On Thursday night the whole country sur-
rounding Limerick for an area of many miles, including
portions of the counties Limerick, Clare, and Tipperary,
and the banks of the Shannon, at either side of the river,
furnished almost simultaneously glowing indications of
" a demonstration," the real meaning of which did not
transpire, but that it was a political ruse little doubt ap-
pears. Fires were blazing in all directions, as far as the
eye could reach, and the illumination was general. The
alarm to many families residing in and beyond the suburbs
was extremely painful, and such fearful indications are
regarded with anything but pleasure in the present
state of the country. The formidable signal fires re-
ferred to, we since learn, were seen to spread into the
counties of Cork and Kerry, with almost magic rapidity."

PROGRESS OF REPEAL.

THE MARQUIS OF WATERFORD.-011 Monday last, a
meeting of gentlemen was held at Tipperary, to express
their regret at the contemplated removal of the Marquis's
establishment from the county, in consequence of the
recent fire there, as mentioned in our last. His lordship,
however, has determined to remove.
REPRESENTATION OF THE COUNTY OF KILKENNY.—
It is reported that the Hon. Mr. Wandesforde, of Castle-
coiner (one of the largest landed proprietors i❑ this coun-
ty,) will start for its representation upon the ministerial
and anti-repeal interest, supported by his nephew, the
Marquis of Ormonde, and all the wealth and respectability
of this county.
DISCOVERY OF A MURDERER.—A man of the name
of Hughes has just been apprehended in London on a
charge of having murdered his wife at Waterford in 1836.
He has hitherto escaped the vigilance of the police. It
appears he murdered his wife by fracturing her skull with
a hammer, and, by leaping upon her body, she being
Pregnant at the time, thereby destroying the infant in the
womb. He put her head also under the grate, and poked
the fire upon it.

These resolutions having been adopted, the secretary
continued to announce the sums contributed since last

meeeting.

The amonnt of the rent for the week was declared to
be—Two Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty-four
Pounds.

SHIPWRECK AT BALLINTOY.—Extract of a letter from
Randal M`Donnell, Esq., agent for Lloyd's :—" Bailin-
toy, near Ballycastle, 16th October. The schooner Emer-
ald, of Londonderry, Thomas Moore, master, from Arch-
angel, with a cargo of tar, pitch, and rosin, came on shore
here on Friday morning, and is now near a complete
wreck, lying in deep water close to the rocks. Not a soul
was found on board the schooner, which, with the portion
of the cargo saved, are in my care !

At six o'clock the meeting adjourned till one o'clock
to-morrow.

MUSKETS FOR IRELAND.—On Friday, upwards of
1,000 percussion-lock muskets were put on board a barge
at the Tower, preparatory to their being transhipped on
board a Government steam-packet at Woolwich, for Ire-
land. The muskets and bayonets were packed in strong
wooden cases, and marked " Stores, Carrickfergus."
ON DlT.—The Dublin Evening Mail, of Friday, states,
that a rumour prevails, which had its origin in Roman
Catholic circles, that Dr. Higgins, the Titular Bishop of
Ardagh, has been summoned to Rome, to answer, before
the " Sovereign Pontiff," for an expression used by him,
in reference to England, at one of the early repeal meet-
ings.

LORD CARDIGAN AND THE PRESS.—Jt is stated that
Lord Cardigan has instructed his law agent to apply to
the Court of Queen's Bench in London, for a rule for a
criminal information against the Times, for the publica-
tion of a letter reflecting upon his conduct'as Colonel of
the 11th Hussars. The letter in question was published
last week. It is also stated that Lord Cardigan has di-
rected legal proceedings to be commenced against the
Dublin Freeman's Journal, for the publication of a letter
signed " Captain ()titan."
THE WHITE QUAKERS.—A party of White Quakers
arrived in this town on Thursday last, and created a sen-
sation by their primitive appearance and zeal in the cir-
culation of blasphemous documents among the crowd.
One of them was a manifesto from Mr. Joshua Jacob,
against Thomas Thacker Pim, Edward Sugden, and Ed.

offenders against God, are brought to condign punish-

notice that he would make two motions to-morrow—
one for a committee to procure petitions in detail from

relating to the preparation of petitions from every parish

For his own part he solemnly assured them that he
