PRINCE OF WALES INDIAMAN.—On Saturday, an immense number of well-dressed persons as= sembled in the yard of Messrs. Green, Wigram, and Green, the celebrated ship-builders and owners, to witness the launch of the above splendid vessel. The Blackwall Pier, the Watermen's Pier, and the whole river frontage, presented a most animated appearance from the constant arrival of small craft and steamers with persons anxious to be present. Everything being in readiness, at a quarter past two o'clock precisely the stocks and fastenings were removed, and the vessel glided majestically into the bosom of Old Father Thames, amid the tiring of cannon and the shouts of the assembled multitude. She was decorated with a number of handsome Union Jacks, and could not have had less than 500 persons on board at the time. The ceremony of christening was performed by Miss Dundas, daughter of Admiral Deans Dundas. This fine vessel is a frigate, built as a fast sailer, and will be manned and carry sufficient weight of metal to defend herself against a ship of war of similar tonnage. Among the numerous visiters on the occasion were Admiral Dundas, M.P.' General Carpenter, Colonel Wyndham, Captain Owen, Captain Toiler, several naval officers of rank, and a considerable number of military officers and marines from the garrison at Woolwich. Another noble vessel of the same dimensions and tonnage is finished,-to be called the Queen, and will be launched from the same yard on orahcut next Saturday week. After the launch, upwards of 500 persons of fashion and respectability were admitted by cards into an immense workshop, which had _been fitted up as a refreshment room, where they partook of a sumptuous cold collation. The ceremony passed off without the slightest accident. The Cork Constitution, in the course of a very sensible A.t the last article on the benefits which might natursaellnytehnacvee anticipated to result from the labours of the Tipperary sobpfeeeecnxiaeleeuotimon tshayemetoetci:iearr , assizes mission, states the following singular facts respecting thecase of the culprit Byrnes, now under for the murder of Mr. Robert Ilan :—" I. he same witnesses were sworn, the same evidence was produced and for Nenagh he was arraigned onretande gceo.uld few who heard the one or who quired much time for deliberation ;hate rewere for acquittal, while only one would eleven of the jury him guilty.

To this the Constitution adds tke following still more singular circumstances r—" When we state that it has been communicated to us by a person who was present, that, of thirteen gentlemen from the northern district of Tipperary who met at dinner during the commission, therewere but two who had not lost a father, a brother, orsoi readernew ill not immediate relative by the hand of the assassin, theare, of persons wonder that juries, composed, as the'YtiuMes tenacious of easily accessible by a bullet, are sometimes themselves to death. pronouncing a verdict that may doom brother of Mr. Welland, Among the eleven sufferers was t of Mr. Cooper.
