      Tirw The Following Appeared In Our Town ...

      tiRW The following appeared in our Town Edition of last Saturday . FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE . FRANCE . A letter received from our Paris Correspondent this morning , fcfor which " we have not room in full , informs us of the intentition of M . M . Girardin and Proudhonto come forward as the I Democratic Candidates at the Election for Paris , on the 26 th of S September . But the Democrats of Paris have no faith in Gira ardin and Proudhon , and are determined to have no divisions , a and to re-elect Carnot and Cavaignac , the men who have ref fused the oath to Bonaparte . Hayxau is in Paris , and is residing at the Hotel des Princes .

      AUSTPJA . The Herrmanstadt Court-Martial had sentenced Count Joseph ] Haller and M . Nagy to be hanged , but the Emperor had comi muted their punishment into imprisonment for ten and six years . f Their property is confiscated . Three others are sentenced to i five years' hard labor . Count Montecuccoli , who was Land-Mar-! shal in Lower Austria and Minister of State when the revolution 1 broke out , and subsequently Imperial Commissary in Italy du-: ring the war , is dead .

      POLAND . The Lloyd contains a letter of the 19 th from Kalish , by which it is to be seen that the cholera is still raging fearfully in Russian-Poland . The population of Warsaw in 1851 was 164 , 115 . The Cholera has already reduced it to 160 , 000 , and more than 400—of whom one half ' die—fall sick every day .

      TURKEY . In consequence of the Sultan ' s well-known aversion to capital punishment , political crimes punishable by death under the Ottoman law will in future be commuted , and the culprit will be condemned to hard labour for 10 or 15 years , the ^ Sultan reserving to himself the right of increasing or diminishing this punishment by an imperial decree .

      AMERICA . SouTHAMr-Tos , Friday , Aug . 27 . The United States mail steam ship Hermann , Lieutenant E . Higgins , U . S . N ., commander , arrived off Cowes this morning . The news by tins steamer is of no great importance , and is only three days' later date than that brought by the last Liverpool packet . A portion of the Whigs of North Carolina opposed to the election of General Scott , had nominated the Honourable Daniel Webster for President , and William A . Graham for Vice-President . A similar movement was to be made in Georgia , and was likely to spread throughout the south .

      The National Free Soil Convention at Pittsburg had nominated John P . Hale , of New Hampshire , for President , and Gsorge W . Julien , of Indiana , for Vice-President . The Herald remarks upon this nomination" This nomination of Mr . Hale throws the two old parties of the country back upon their original grounds . It will take from the Whig and Democratic ranks all the Free Soiiers of every shade and hue—thus injuring one party about as much as the other , and leaving the great body of the people to decide upon the principles at issue between them . True , it will greatly cut down the vote of both ; but then it is not likely that it will

      inter / ere with the actual strength of either , as * did the Buffalo ticket in 1848 . In that contest Mr . Van Buren , in addition to receiving the Free Soil vote of the country , was supported by a long line of old and warm personal friends . Mr . Hale has no such personal popularity . He will get the vote of his party , composed of all the colours , isms , and ites of the country , and nothing more . He was formerly considered as belonging to the Democrats , but in the United States Senate of late he has been anywhere , everywhere , and nowhere , just as it suited his convenience . Mr . Julien , the nominee for Vice-President , represented the fourth district of Indiana in the last Congress .

      With reference to the fisheries dispute there appears to be little of a novel character . Great Fire in Hamburg . —A fire broke out at Hamburg on Monday , in the Deich-Strasse , near the spot where the conflagration of 1842 commenced , but was got under in about three hours . The damage is estimated at 80 , 000 marks banco . From the pressure of the crowd on one of the bridges the balustrade gave way , and about thirty persons were thrown into the canal .

      Ireland. Dublin, Friday Morning-The Six-...

      IRELAND . Dublin , Friday Morning-THE SIX-MILE BRIDGE AFFRAY . Mr . Delniege and his military companions have been released from the disgraceful thraldom to which they had been subjected by the verdict of the sapient jury at Six-mile bridge . Yesterday Mr . Justice Crampton gave judgment at his priveate residence in favour of the application made on the evening previous to admit the parties to bail , and in doing so his Lordship thus briefly but emphatically delivered his opinion : —

      " I feel myself called upon in law and justice to admit all the prisoners to bail . I make no observation on the evidence given before the coroner ; the case is to be tried , and I wish not in any way to prejudice the trial . No objection being made to the sufficiency of the bail tendered on the part of the prisoners and the Crown , by Mr . Hayes appearing for the Attorney General and consenting thereto , my order is that the prisoners respectively be discharged from custody , on perfecting bail as offered by the notices of the 22 nd instant . "

      His Lordship then fixed the amount of bail for Mr . Delmege , of himself in £ 100 , and two sureties of £ 50 each ; and for the soldiers at £ 20 , and two securities at £ 10 each .

      Fire This Morxkg.—Shortly Before Three O...

      Fire this Morxkg . —Shortly before three o ' clock the premises belonging to Messrs . Le Blond and Co ., copperplate and letterpress printers , situated at 24 , Budge-row , Watling-street , were discovered to be on fire . When first perceived the flames were raging with great violence inthe upper part of the house ; and no time was lost in sending for the necessary precautions on such occasions . The engines having arrived , and there being a good supply of water , they were set to work with the utmost vigour ; but at the time we left the spot the fire had increased with such rapidity as to indicate an immense sacrifice of property at the scene of the outbreak , and both houses ad" oiaing .

      Fire This Morxkg.—Shortly Before Three O...

      Robbery and ABDucTioN .-At Worship Street police-court yesterday , Elizabeth MMullen , a young woman ot about 17 oi 18 years of age , was charged with the felonious abduction of one of the chifiren of her master , and also with robbing him of two half-sovereigns . Mr . Richard Thompson , a master baker in Prospect-place , Bethnal-green , sated , that the prisoner had been in his service for about six months as maid ot all work , ancl , until the circumstances occurred which gave rise to , ] her present prosecution , had always conducted herself m the most honest and satisfactory manner . On the morning of Monday lasthowevershe was sent out by her mistress with one of the

      , , children , a little boy of two years , and a halt old , for the purpose of giving it an airing ; and shortly after she had left , her mistress having occasion to go up to a drawer in her bedroom , where she was in the habit of frequently keeping loose cash , she was surprised to find that the drawer had been forced open and two half-sovereigns stolen out of it . Several hours elapsed without the prisoner returning home with the child , and this , coupled with the loss of the money , excited such strong suspicions in the minds of both himself and wife , that the remainder of the day was occupied by themin a state of frantic anxiety , in

      search-, ing for their missing child in every place they could think of , and messengers were dispatched in every probable direction upon the same errand , but no tidings could be obtained of it until the preceding afternoon , when they were at length rejoiced by the little boy being brought home by a person who had shortly before discovered him sitting by himself upon the doorstep of a and

      house in the Hackney-road , in a most deplorable condition crying bitterly . A few hours after the recovery of the child the prisoner herself made her appearance , accompanied by her father , and upon the witness calling her to account for her infamous conduct she coolly told him that she neither knew anyof the stolen money nor where she had been , and > ltogether displayed such effrontery that he gave her into custody . Mr . Ingham ordered her to be brought up again , and intimated his

      intention to commit her for trial . A Ferocious Ruffian . —Yesterday , James Gilligan , a powerful irishman , was brought up on remand before Mi \ Yardley , charged with stealing a purse containing three sovereigns from a sailor named James Day , and with committing a savage assault on police-constable Walker , 445 It . On the night of the 17 th inst ., a sailor was about to pay Mrs . Burns , the landlady of the Royal Sovereign public-house , in Victoria-street , Bluegate-fields , Shadwell , when the prisoner Gilligan , who had just entered the house , snatched the purse from the sailor ' s hand and ran out of the house with it . An alarm was

      immediately raised , and a police-constable named Mcholls , 210 K , went in pursuit of him , and took him into custody . A fierce attack was instantly made upon the constable by a woman of the town named Jane Hall , with whom the prisoner cohabited , and by numerous other disorderly women , who rescued the prisoner . About 1 o ' clock on the morning of the 17 th , the police , who had collected round a filthy locality called Blue-gate-fields , inhabited almost solely by thieves and prostitutes , were determined that Gilligan should not escape , heard that he was concealed in a house of ill-fame in Blue-gate-place . Several constables went thereand ilie prisoner leaped out of a back-room window into a

      , yard , and made his escape . He was pursued over severalyards , walls , and outhouses , and at last retreated into another house . Nichols went upstairs after him , and he immediately jumped out of a first- floor window into the street . A policeman named Skeates , No . 428 K , caught him as he came down , and the prisoner , who is an active fellow , immediately seized him by the legs and capsized him . The policeman , however , brought the and each

      prisoner down with him , and they rolled over over other until Walker , 445 K , came to the assistance of his brother officer , and seized Gilligan by the collar . The prisoner shook him off , gave the constable a violent kick , and seizing one of Walker ' s fingers with his teeth , bit it severely . The women of Blue-gate-fields then assailed the police with great fury , and made an unsuccessful attempt to rescue the prisoner . The prisoner was sentenced to one month ' s imprisonment for assaulting the policeman in the execution of his duty .

      Fatal Boiler Explosion . —Biumlngham , Friday . —At halfpast 9 o ' clock this morning the boiler of a steam engine , on the condensing principle , at work on the premises of Messrs . Whitehouse , iron-masters , of Church lane , West Bromwich , exploded with fearful violence , causing the death of three persons , and seriously injuring six or seven others employed in the establishment . The end of the boiler was blown completely out and carried across the canal . The disaster has caused great consternation in the neighbourhood , but at the time of writing the precise cause of the explosion was not known , or unexplained . The inquest , it is expected will be held to-morrow ( Saturday ) .

      Fatal Steamboat Collision on the Thames . —x esterday morning Mr . Payne held an inquest on the body of Edward Cook , seaman on board the Thirsk , aged 19 years , who was knocked from a small boat by collision with a steam-boat in the river , and drowned . The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death . " Balloon Ascent . —Madam Poitevin made a balloon ascent on horseback , at Cremornc on Thursday . The last Robespierre . —The last representative of the name of the great hero of 1793 , M . Isadore Justin de Robespierre , died in June last at Santiago de Chili , where he had been established nearly 60 years .

      Tub Fire in Whiteciiapel . —We regret to state that the fire which broke out yesterday morning on the premises belonging to Mr . J . Walker , 34 , Whitechapel- road , was attended with a far more serious loss of property than was anticipated . Mr . Braidwood , the superintendent of the London fire " establishment , in making his official report to the fire offices interested , describes the damage done as follows : — " August 27 , 1852 , called at 1 a . m . to a fire which broke out in the premises of Mr . J . Walker , ironmonger , & c , 34 , Whitechapel-road . The cause of fire unknown . The contents were insured in the British

      Empire Mutual Fire-office , and the buildings in the Sun . The fire was extinguished by firemen with engines of A , two of B , and one of D districts of the brigade , that of the West of England office , and those belonging to the parish , and 184 hired auxiliaries . The front premises of Mr . Walker are totally destroyed , the greater part of the roof belonging to the back warehouses is burnt off and the contents seriously damaged by fire and water . No . 33 , in the same road , Mr . J . Oliver , oil and Italian warehouseman . Back windows burnt out and

      considerable damage done to the stock-in-trade , furniture , & c . be water . The contents were insured in the Sun Fire-office . The building unknown . No . 35 , in the same road , Mr . J . P . Miller , grocer . The premises damaged by fire , especially the side walls , and the contents by water . The stock-in-trade , & c , were insured in the General Fire office . " A Dreadful Earthquake occurred at Erzeroum about the middle of last month . The offiicial accounts state that three hundred buildings have been thrown down and seventeen lives lost , and most of the stone houses of that city have suffered .

The primest Scots—which were very scarce—realized 4 s . per Slbs . For the time of the year , the supply of Sheep was but moderate . Its general quality
