      France. The Marriage Question In Spain I...

      FRANCE . The marriage question in Spain is still the _allibsorbing toDic for comment in the P ans papers . The Marquis of Normanby , the British ambassador io the French Court , bad an interview of nearly an boot ' s duration on Friday morning , with M . _fcaizot _, » t tlie Hotel des Affaires _Etrangeres . Wennderaland that his Excellency communicated an energetic _wotestto tbe French GoTcrnment relative to the ijarriage of the Doie de Montpensier . The protest is founded upon two grounds—first , npon the treaty of Utrecht , by which the branch ofthe Bourbons at that time _reigning in France and the head and representative of the Orleans branch of the

      familv renounced all claim to the crown of Spain , and form ally covenanted that they themselves , as well as their descendants and sncoessors , of whatever sex should be for ever excluded from that throne , « nd that anv war , having for its object to place any member of the French branch of the Bourbons on the throne of Spain , would be unjust and contrary to the faith of treaties , & c : and , secondly , npon the _a greement come to bythe French and English _Ministers at the Chateau d'Eu , an agreement the more emphatic , as , although it was not reduced to trriting » _& was concluded not only between the ministers of tbe two states , bnt sanctioned by the _m-Meneeand assent of their respective sovereigns .

      The French Government has paid domici !? a _** y visits to a great number of Carlistsresident in Paris , and among others to the Marquis de Labrador , who was for many years ambassador to tbe French Court . The only member of the Progressists party who has b ; en honoured with a dnmicil ' ary visit is the celebrated General Prim , who has recently arrived in Paris from Brussels . He was visited by the agents nf _police on Friday , and the whole of his papers _were carried away . There was _nothing in tbem that in th e slig htest degree compromised him , but still the papers are retained . Ihe Dnke de Montpensier and the Duke d Autnale took their departure at six o ' cloek oa Monday _mornins for Spain .

      "The Guyenne announces that a strict watch is kept on the movements of General "Rodil . and of M . de Santacrm , a former aide-de-camp of Espartero , now leading in Bordeaux- General Seoane bad succeeded i a effecting his escape from that city . It is presumed that he has entered Spain . Yast activity is said to he observable among- the police to obviate an insurrection in Spain . An order has been sent to Marshal Bugeaud to prcceed immediately to _Algeria , to watch the movements of Abd _^ El-Kader on the frontier of Morocco .

      According to the Reforme the price of wheat had of late risen in all the markets adjoining Paris from S 3 centimes to 1 franc per hectolitre . At Orleans the rise bad been as high a * 2 f . The price of bread wa 3 continnalh * increasing in all the towns of the north , centre , " and south , but particularly tlie east of France , where it was 55 c . and 60 c . per kilogramme . The C _onstitutionncl announces that the price of flour had aeain increased at the Corn Market of Paris on Saturday , and that the price of bread wonld be augmented bv two centimes on the 1 st of

      October-By the * Paris par ers of Tuesday , it appears , that the French police are worrying the Spanish refugees ofall parties , at their depots and residence ** . Senor Orran ex-Member ofthe Cortes was brutally seized at Paris , on Saturday last , _despite of his severe _ _ill-Hess . The _Fresse says that General Cabrera , has embarked at Southampton for Gibralter , UHder a fictitious name , in one ofthe Peninsular steamers . The communication as to General Cabreras departure for Gibralter is stated by another Goverenient print to have been forthwith announced , both totheFrench and Spanish Governments . Incendiary fires continued to desolate all France , and Burgundy in particular . Seven _Tillages of the district ot Morvand had been almost entirely consumed during the last three weeks , and _notwithstandinathe -vigilance of tae police and the inhabitants , it had been impnsible to seize the incendiaries . Tbe fiilure ofthe harvest ia causing much suffering ,

      SPAIN . On the afternoon of the 21 st , Mr . Bulwer presented to the Spanish Government a formal protest on the p art ofthe British Government against tbe marriage ofthe Infanta with the Duke de Montpensier . The journals are almost daily seized with the view of crashing pnblic opinion so strongly expressed a-ainst the Montpensier marriage . On the 22 nd . the Espectador , IVuevo Espectador , Clamor Publico , and Eco del Cmercio were seized . The first of these journals scarcely ever makes its appearance now , and all we get is half a sheet nnder the title of a supplement , with the debates , & c , without any leading article ; tie authorities are determined to crash th _' s journal , as being especially supported by the old _Prosressista leader * , who have subscribed a capital of a million of Te _* b , £ 10 . 000 . for that purpose . Such is the manner in which the government carries out the roya ' intentions of "inaugarating a . new era of peace andj reconciliation . " ic . ic .

      On the 23 rd ult ., the editors of the above-named journals published the following joint declaration : — "The whole ofthe Progresista papers published in Madrid -were seized yesterday at the same time . Such an act will be appreciated as it onght by the nation . With the repeated confiscations , fines , and prosecutions suffered each day by the organs of the Liberal party , it is clearly evident that , even under the exceptional regimen to which the press is subjected , we are not permitted to emit our ideas . " In such a conflict we should renounce forthwith the task of writing , were we not persuaded that

      nothing discredits so much the cause ofour adversaries as that furious hostility which proves their fear of the revelations of the press . " We shall , then , fol l ow on , writing , not as the present circumstances require , but as the caprice of onr rulers permits ; not as is the custom in countries governed consthntionally , but as can be done in Spain under the coercion ofan arbitrary government ; in a word , not as we should do in the enjoyment of afree press , but as we are obliged to do under subjection to an anomalous and violent censorship , and to exceptional tribunals constituted bv Roval orders .

      "Our subscribers will fill up of themselves what we are obliged to cancel . The silence of the press will become , in _futuse , the most eloquent accusation that can be launched against the Government . "ElEcoddComercio . "El Clamor Publico . " El Nuevo Espectador . " El Espectador . _^ 'ifadrid , 23 rd September , 1846 . _ElEtpartol was seized on the 23 rd , for having published the article of The Times , ofthe 16 th , on Spain -and the Spanish marriages . Oathesame day tbe Gbamber of Deputies granted _iamsters the required authorization to lew the taxes , by a majoritv of 134 to 12 . M . Salamanca , ¦ who was absent at tbe moment ofthe ballot , subseqnently asked that his name might be added to the _opponents of the bill .

      PORTUGAL . Advices from Portugal state that theMiguelite insnrrection in tbat country had assumed a very serious _jspeet . ihe Government General , Count das _Antas , demands reinforcements and the organisation of _prol _Tincial battalions . In the province of . Minto almost ab the inhabitants have taken up arms in favour of Don Miguel . TnE CAUCASUS . _ Tha _Gemitn Journal of Frankfort publishes a Russian bulletin from tbe Caucasus * dated the 28 th nit . Jt gives as account of several engagements between the Russian craps , commanded by Prince Argutin-= oi , and the force under Daniel Bey , which is represented to consist of at least 40 , 000 men . The Russians claim the advantage in all the affairs that took place , but it appears certain that they could not prevent the Circassians from burning several _^ _Hlages before they retreated , The Russians bad 200 men killed or wonnded .

      CAPE OF GOOD HOPE . Cape of Good Hope papers to the ISth of July inclusive , have jast been received . We take the _following extract from the Graham ' s Town Journal - _.-Received the following communication from Fort Beaufort , dated 7 th instant : — Bodies of Kaffirs , consisting of from ten to twenty , _Mtatinne to infest this part of the frontier , and _Jhenever they can succeed in driving _« , ff flocks or tarda by stealth they do so , avoiding , however , to » mbat , either to capture or for the protection of _* hatthey may have stolen . In these forays several _tarrible murders have been committed lately by _™ ese cowardly assassins , on herdsmen in the vicinity Wtbis place . Last week they shot two _Finnim *

      * aiie herding cattle near Macomo ' s Kraal , and not _fe _bsSed with killing the poor fellows they tormented "Jte of tbem by flaying bis face while he was yet * - The other escaped from them mortallv "sanded , but has since died . The day after this f * w-Captain Loxton was ordered out with his llot" * tot corps on escort duty , and on his return home ' _daybreak on the 2 nd _instaut . he discovered the j _^ _ees _of aHuck of sheep which the Kaffirs were _tem pting to drive across a drift on the Kat river . _fW the Bbnkwater Post , but who on hearing the _# r , « aca of hi 3 men had taken shelter in the bush _M the sheep . On being followed into tbe thicket _•^ _iiaffirs retreated , leaving 490 sheep in the bands

      Mae pursuing party . From circumstances whieh Jj- _* e transpired subsequently , it appears that these j _^ auders , after losing their booty , took post during P _* remainder of the day on a high conical biil , ove _£ J _^ _fiing the spot where the sheep had been taken , _filing the herds from the Blinkwater Post , in _^ pes tbat chance w ould afford them an opportunity jT _"Pairing their loss at _' the expense of these men " . I " . "fortunately some straggling sheep being seen near _* « e these Kaffirs lay in ambush , twe of these men were induced to proceed towards the spot , and were _XSf _^ _? - * _^ fired on-one having his arm _shatrcwa _, and the other his gun split iu two near the

      lock . Information has been received that a number of Kaffirs have been seen in Vader Kloof ( behind the Kromr ae * _Bertr ) , and a force was to be sent in quest . if them . Received information also of a spirited ¦ ffair , on Thursday evening , between a party of Fingoes and Kaffirs in the vicinity of Fort Beaufort . It appears that in the afternoon of ihat day , a strong party of Kaffirs suddenly presented themselves , and attempted to capture the cattle . The Fingoes , however , who were in charge ot them , resisted this

      with determined bravery , and ultimately beat off the assailants . Five Fingoe 3 were killed in this affair , and eight Kaffirs , Report receired tbat eighteen head of eattle were re-captured lrom the Kaffirs on Thursday , on Driver ' s-hill , by some persons in the employ of Messrs . Ford and Jeffries . The accounts from the front state that Captain Hogg , with about 800 Hottentots , was to move this morning from Troinpetters for the Amotoli , for the purpose , if possible , of surprising Tola ' s Kaflirs , who are said to be encamped in that locality .

      DUTCH VICTORIES IN THE EAST INDIES . Thb Hague , Sept . 26 . —The overland mail has brought the Java papers ofthe 7 th of July , containing an official account of tbe expedition to Bali , which is published at great length in the Staats Courant of the 25 th cf September . The army of the Kins in the East Indies has covered itself -with glory . Thanks to the valour of our troops by sea and land , the expedition directed by the Governor-General Rochufen against the Prince of Bali has been completely successful ; 30 . 000 _Balinees , a very warlike people , covered behind intrenebments and defended by 60 pieces of cannon , conld not oppose the expedition , which consisted only of 2 , 000 men . We remain masters of Billing and of the capital ,

      Singa Radja . The Prince took refuge in the mountains . Some of our troops remain at Bali till the entire payment of the expenses ofthe war , stipulated by the treaty of peace . This victory cannot fail to have a great moral influence en the population of the Indian Archipelago . The island of Bali is situated in the centre oi our possessions in those seas , and not far from Java . In a commercial point of view the result will be equally important , because Bali is very productive and very populous . Hostilities were preceded by the fallowing manifesto , which M . Jft . Mayer , commissioner of the government , was ordered to remit to the Rajah of Bali as the ultimatum of the Dutch _government : — " 1 . The prince is accused of having violated the conventions

      signed bv his own hand on the 26 th of November , 1842 , and the 3 rd of May , 1843 , aud of having repeatedly refused to confirm his preceding declarations by whichhe acknowledged that the empire of B'iling , of which he has the sole and entire government , forms part of the Dutch possessions in the Indies , and is consequently under thc sovereignty of the Netherlands . 2 . Of not having yet , as he had promised to do , repaired the port and the damage done by the population of Gjembruna _, in dependence of Billing , who , in January , 1344 , plundered a vessel under the Dutch flag and belonging to a Dutch subject , in the Indies . 3 . Of not having received with due honour the diplomatic agents ofthe government , and of having treated them , not like envoys of a

      Governor-General of Dutch India , Uut rather like enemies . 4 . Of not having answered a letter of the Governor-General . Of not having hoisted the Dutch flag at the places and in the manner required . " The following are tbe conditions which were proposed t _<» the Rajah , and by accepting which _thatprinee might have prevented hostilities : — " A . To sign within three times twenty-four hours a new _convention , which should leave to him the administration of his dominions on his acknowledging on his part the sovereignty of the Dutch government in the Indies , to put an end to the pillage of shipwrecked vessels , to prevent piracy and slavery , and to protect commerce . B . To engage to pay the expenses of the pre-: eut expedition , either in money or

      in such productions of Bali as shall be hereafter agreed upon . This payment may be made in the term of ten year * . C . To consent that Dutch troops shall rsmain in his dominions till the _complete payment ofthe expense of the war . The expense of maintaining these troops is to be defrayed by the Rajah . "—The Sultans Madura and Sumanap , as well as the Regent of Pamakapan , supplied ships for the conveyance of the troops . It is worthy of remark , that in consequence of a desire which had been previously expressed to the Governor- General , a trading frigate- armed as a man-of-war , under the flag of Loonbok , andsent byPrincesof Selapfaasang . came to join the Dutch _saaadron in the hostilities against Bali . The details of the expedition are

      communicated in seven official ' reports to the Governor General , Ac , & ,:., published in the Java Courant . Besides these important documents , the ! journals of Java bring the following news : —On the j Oth of July , 1 S 46 , the Dutch commissioner , con-I eluded , at Beliiing , with the Princes of Beliling j and Karang Assam , treaties , which have already , been sent to the Governor-General for his _approba-| tion . The principal stipulations of these treaties contain besides the renewal ofthe declaration , that tbe territory of those two princes forms a part of the Dutch possessions in the Indies acknowledging bis Majesty the King of the Netherland ' s Sovereign , promising to protect onr commerce , engaging to oppose piracy , and not only to abolish the custom of declaring shipwrecked vessels and their cargoes to be good _prizes , but in such cases to afford aid and assistance , with a certain rate of salvage , for having taken care to preserve the cargo of the

      shipwrecked _vessel ; and lastly , to assist the Dutch Government to the utmost of their power in its efforts tn put down piracy and the slave trade . The Dutch government engages on its part , tbat if these princes faithfully execute the conventions made with them , it will not interfere in the internal administration of their country , which is lelt to them without a restriction . Ey another treaty , the Prince of Beliling acknowledges that he is indebted to the forgiveness and generosity of the Dutch Government for the restoration of his conutry . of which it had become entirely the maser by the right of conquest , and he _engages , in the first place , to pay the expenses of the expedition , as well as those of erecting and maintaining a fort , and of the garrison , which will remain there as a security for the entire payment of the expenses ef the war ; and , in the second , to destroy , iu the space of three months , the fortifications which he bad erected , and not to construct any others in the sam e places .

      BRITISH AMERICA . The Canadian papers , brought by the Britannia , contain long articles on the subject of thc _navigation laws , on which topic the Montreal Herald and the Gazette were at issue . "With regard to Lord Elgin's appointment there was little comment made ; the Courier and Pilot applauded the act , but the Herald would seem to be of a contrary opinion . t Sir John Harvey and suite had arrived at Halifax , and entered « upon his duties as Governor of Nova Scotia .

      TJxMTED STATES AND MEXICO . The British and North American royal mail steamship Britannia , Captain Hewett , reached the Mersey at four o ' clock on Wednesday morning . The Britannia sailed from Boston on the ICtb , and Halifax on the ISth , and bring 9 ten days later news than tbe accounts which reached us per the Anglo-Saxon last week . The operations on the coast of the gulf of Mexico hive been inactive . The return of Santa Anna to Mexico may or may not promote a pacific arrangement with the United States . Overtures to such an end bave been transmitted to him from the President of the United States through Commodore Connor , commanding thegulf squadron . Santa Anna reached Vera Cruz on the 16 th of August , and _vm received with open arms . We have no account yet of " his having reached the city of Mexico , but everything there was ready for his cordial reception . The

      latest dates from Vera Cruz are of tbe 20 th ult . At that time the dispatches of the President for Comi modore Connor bad been received , and communica-! tion was immediately had with Vera Cruz by means ! of a flag . What the nature of the propositions of this government is , or what the reception they are likely to meet with from Santa Anna , is , as yet , mere conjecture . The United States brig of war Trnxton was lost on a shoal off Tuppan , about 120 miles north of Vera Cruz , on the 14 th ult . Her commander , Capt . Carpender , with the majority of his officers and crew , surrendered themselves prisoners to the Mexicans . Lieutenant Hunter , one other lieutenant and fourteen men , escaped to the squadron in a small Mexican schooner , which they captured with one of the boats of the Truxton . Meantime the war on 4 he Rio Grande languishes—the season and the want of sufficient _waggon trains alike forbidding active operations . Colonel Harnev had marched from St .

      Antonio ( Texas ) , on the 23 d , with 120 United States Dragoons , 500 mounted Tcxans , and 18 _Delawares , for Mondovia , Mexico . General Kearney ' s command had left Bent ' s Fori for Santa Fe on the 3 d . Kearney had lost 100 horses , and the troops were on half rations . A deplorable spirit of _insubordination had appeared in the Irish and other soldiers left in the vicinity of Matamora _, on the retirement of General Taylor and the main body of the army . Fifteen or twenty men were killed or wounded , and eight or ten drowned , during a riot between the Irish and American volunteers near _Quinto , on the night of thc Slst August . Eight Illinois volunteers and two officers _weresoverel y wounded in quelling the disturbance , and arresting the ringleaders .

      fierce blaze by the occurrence . A few weeks since a coloured young man , brother of the Governor of Liberia , presented himself at the medical college of Pittsfield , and sought _admission to attend medical lectures . His object was to return and make himself useful in the colony . He was at first received , but on a demur by one of the students ( a Southerner ) the admission was withdrawn , and ho was rejected . There areone or two states where Mucks are allowed to vote , butif there were _enough of them in the state to cast any weight in tbe elections it would be overruled . In no free state are they allowed to do military dnty . Nowhere can they hold office , and in no religious assembly can they ait down with whites . Intermarriage with them were an infamy on which no one dare venture . The least tinge of their blood in anv part of the north , excludes from society .

      A Camp Is About To Be Immediately Formed...

      A Camp is about to be immediately formed at Cannonville , near Vincenne 3 , and is to be occupied by 40 , 000 or 42 , 000 men for military _mansBuvrei , under the command of General Tiburce Sebastiani . This force will include several batteries of artillery . Thb _Carusts is France . —On Friday _mominc domiciliary visits were paid to the Marquis do Labrador and M . de Villafranca , and several other eminent members of the Spanish Carlist party residing at Paris . Their dwellings and papers were most minutely inspected . Exchasoe of PmsoNERs . —A letter from Toulon of the 21 st states , that all obstacles to an exchange of prisoners between the French Government and Abd-el-Kader have been surmounted , and that orders have been given for tho embarkation ofthe

      numerous Arab prisoners in France , who are to be exchanged for the French in the hands of the Emir . Pope Pius and TnK Roman Soldiers . —A correspondent at Borne writes , en the 16 tb ult ., in the Nuremberg Correspondent : —••* A soldier lately presented to tbe Pope a loaf of bread ol the worst quality , saying that even the convicts ofthe galleys had not worse food . On the following day the Pope sent for the Minister of War . and after a conference of a few minutes invited him to breakfast , at which a plate with the soldier ' s bread was set before him . The Minister turned pale and could not touch it . Pius IX . then said to bim—* You do not cat ! You

      find the bread too bad ! And yet it is the same as is given to my soldiers . ' The Minister declared that he _wasisnorant of the fact ; to which the Pope replied—* But I know it . I know that the complaints ofthe soldiers are not listened to , because the officers are corrupt . ' The Minister withdrew in consternation . An inquiry was instituted . The friend of Count N , who had the distribution of the bread , the " contractor , and Jthel haker , were arrested and taken to the Castle of Saint Angelo . To-day every soldier had four bajocas ( 2 d . ) given to him to buy his own bread ; and this is to be continued until further orders . "

      Prohibited "Works . —Five new works have been added by Pius IX . to the books forbidden to be read in " Universal Christendom . " and which his Holiness danuvit , proscripsit _proscribique in indicem librorum prohibitomtn . The doomed works are—Les Evansiles , traduction nouvelle , avee des notes _etdes reflexions a la fin do chaquo cbapitre , parF . Lamennais : Gli Evangeli tradotti in lingua Italiana da G .

[ The railroads and reforms of the new

      Pope will neutralize his prohibition . Though it is a pity that a man , otherwise apparently _j-o liberal , should have any tread of the press . *! The Mormons have lately organised a regiment of women , who are in full discipline , and it is said , promise by all appearances , to fight more desperately than their male fellow-soldiers . Female Suffrage . —The appeal of the " women of the state of New York" to the convention ( employed on the revisal of the constitution ) , claiming female suffrage and female eligibility to all puhlic offices , has found one newspaper editor willing to undertake its advocacy . The appeal found numberless signatures among the sex so peculiarly dominant in this country .

      _Foheion * Police Istillioexce _ExTRAORDKtAn-r . — Louis-Philippe Orleans , an old man , with a largo head , and a very confident expression , was charged before the bench , Public Opinion , with a most flagitious act of child stealing . The case was very protracted , and involved many statements and counter statements , but may be briefly summed up as follows : — It appeared that a Spaniard , named Ferdinand , who had distinguished himself as a man-millinerhaving been specially appointed as petticoat-maker and embroiderer to the Holy Virgin—died some years ago at Madrid , leaving behind him two little infant girls - " and it was forthe crafty abduction ofthe younger of these children , by name Luisa—a young creature . ' scarcely marriageable—that the prisoner

      was brought to the bar . He was an old offender , full of subtleties and tricks , whith he played off under the guise of the most enchanting bonhommie , which , of course , only rendered him the more dangerous . This , however , was the first time he had appeared at the bar of pubic opinion as a child-stealer . It was shown in eridence that the petticoat-maker died very rich : and there was no doubt that the immense wealth of the unfortunate Luisa was one reason for drawing upon her the attention of the prisoner : who had also—there could be no doubt of it—considerabl p hopes of obtaining further advantages by meddling in her family affairs ; and further of ultimately obtaining the larger share of the property on the death of her sister , reputed not to be of the most vigorous constitution . It was shown that Orleans had had crafty accomplices in the business . He had introduced into the house ! of the young ladies a French hair-dresser , named Bresson , who had turned the head of the innocent Luisa with the most

      glowing description of Orleans , _surnamed Montpensier , _* a youth with a great precocity of moustache . The hair-dresser Bresson had also contrived to give the young roan ' s portrait ( painted for the occasion ) to thc hapless Luisa ; and the effect of a portrait ot a handsome young man upon a girl ol 14 would be obvious . ) Finally , a contract of marriage had been brought about by the craftiness of the hair-dresser ; and the child—however it might be attempted to palliate the circumstances by the forms of law—tbe child was , in a word , stolen from herself , her country , and her relations , by the guile and avarice of the prisoner at the bar . The Court regretted that it could not interfere in even so flagitious a case . Theprisoner must be discharged ; though be must not for a moment suppose that he left the Court with clean hands , Hereupon the prisoner gave a knowing wink , chuckle , and left the court , humming— "Oil peut-on etre mieux , qu _' au sein de sa famillc ' . "Punch .

      By the earthquake in Tuscany , on the 24 th ult ., upwards of eight thousand persons are reduced to becgary , but the Grand Duke has announced that he will rebuild all the houses that are destroyed , without making any addition to the taxes . The inhabitants of the small towns of Arriano _, Querdinallo , Montescudigo , Lorenzana , Caserta , Repubella , Creopick , _Faislia , Leina , and _Regolo , are exempted from taxation until 1818 . The port of Leghorn furnishes the building timber free of duty . A letter from Breslau , says ihat one hundred acres of the extensive neat ground of Nimkau , whicli skirt the railroad in Upper Silesia is on fire , sending forth a dense black smoke . All efforts to extinguish the fire had been found _unavailing .

      visited by a calamity , the probable extent of wliich , in thc destruction of human life and property , is frightful to contemplate . About nine o ' clock on the _e-enins of that day an alarm of fire was sounded . _Theeliildren of a _sub-contraetor on the Scottish Central Railway had set fire to the bed curtains with a candle . The furniture of'ho bed was instantly in a blaze , and the apartment being a small attic , situated at the cross , the Annua spread with rapidity . As there is no fire-engine in Dunblane thc populace mustered and rendered every assistance in their power to extinguish the conflagration . Tlie surprise , indignation , and alarm that took _p-ssession of tiie minds ot ' the multitude may easily be conceived when it was ascertained that in the house atljoining tho ,

      welling where the fire was raging , anil which was Ecupied by another sub-c . _intractor , and his family , a the same floor with the blazing apartment , and ¦ parated from it only by a very thin partition , there as stored nearly half a ton of gunpowder , shailar to _liat used in railway mining operations ! _Outhe rst alarm of the fire being given , the proprietor of ie gunpowder hastened into the premises , aad carried [ Fh _* 3 family , his money , and the portable .- valuables hich he could snatch up at the moiiir , nt . When ie danger from the gunpowder became , known , John _lieholson , amason , followed by a num . ber of people , ished np to the apartment , and _succeeded in extinuishing the flame ** .

      IHELAND . The food riota appear toTe extending among the _^ l l ? . _- ; V ; The '" Ale" , * ofthe Roman Catholic clergy hitherto available for calming the excited people seems to fail in this case . The Presentment meeting are the scene of great excitement , not unfrequcntly accompanied by violence . _yoi-oHAH . —The scene at the adjourned extraordinary presentment sessions for the barony of _Dacies within Drum , in the county of Waterford , held in _Clsshmore , about three miles from _Youphal , was frightful ; thousands were congregated there , most ofthem Lord Stuart ' s tenants on SHeve Grains mountains . The _60 wretched people bave held small p ( itches of the mountain at a mere nominal rent , aro quite paupers , and have lost their entire supply of food . The people wero so dense it

      was almost impossible to get close to the court ; many ware clamorous and violent for food , which was supplied to not a few from the shops and houses of tha village , but in such a small place , to so great an assemblage , it was no more than a drop in the ocean . The business of the sessions was dispatched with a good deal of confusion , nearly every work ashed for was grantee ? , to the amount of thousands of pounds . As the proceedings were drawing to a close , it was apparent a bad spirit was abroad amongst the people . Several expressions of a violent nature were made sespecting Lord Stuart's small subscription of £ 5 onl y to tho relief fund , and also as to his having stated from the chair that lOd . a-day wa * ample wages , and that the work could not be commenced in _li'ss than ten days .

      When Lnrd Stuart , who wns one of the last of the authorities to leave the _Sessions-house , appeared amongst the crowd , their excitement grew to an intense pitch ; menaces , threats , and opprobrious epithets were showered on him , which was succeeded hy attempts at violence . With some difficulty he got into his carriage , when immediately his servant put the horses in a gallop , and flogged them most violently to keep them at the fullest speed . A party of Hussars , who wero sent to protect his Lordship and keep the crowd back , were attacked by the mob , and a collision ensued . A ringleader , named Power , was very severely sabred , but was carried off by populace , when their assaults were redoubled ; several ofthe horsemen were severely hurt , and the force being small , they had to retreat for their lives to lord Huntingdon's farm-yard , which wa _^ immediately barricaded . The crowd committed no violence on the inhabitant * of

      Clashmore , and left the place by degrees as night approached , Thursday , a mob of thousands marched down to Mr . Fisher ' s mill at Pilltown , just opposite Youghal , on the county of Waterford side , vowing vengeance if Indian meal was not sold for ls . per stone from the mill , and corn ground for Id . per stone ; they then proceeded , armed with stick , stones , spades , hammers ( such as are used in repairing roads ) , an _4 other weapons , to the Ferrypoint , just opposite the centre of the town , and considerable apprehension was excited that they meimt to attack it . The magistrates had the military in readiness immediately to repel them , but they contented themselves with threats of vengeance against the ferrymen and boatmen should they carry corn or provisions over to tho Youghal merchants . Riots have also occurred at Castle Martyr , and the military called in .

      _Kilwobth . —On Monday night fires blazed , and horns sounded throughout the districts of _Fe-rmoy , Kilwortb , and Araglin . Meetings of the relief committees had previously beeen appointed to be held in Fermoy and Kilwortb on the Tuesday . Early iu the morning a threatening notice was found thrust under the hall door of the Earl of Mountcnshel . Thousands poured into the town armed with weapons of husbandry , and a violent riot ensued , notwithstanding the magistrates had secured the assistance of a party of the 7 th regiment to aid in keeping the peace . _GitwAY . —The Oalicay Mercury of Saturday says : —

      On Wednesday last , a great body of labourers and distressed-looking persons marched publicly , and for thc most )> artofthe day , through Loughrea . Seldom has it been the lot of this locality to witness such a spectacle ef squalid poverty and ragged misery ; they enrriertin procession a loaf of bread fixed on a long polo . Thia is an appalling circumstance ; their cry—I must say , their peaceable cry—was for employment . The harvest is now almost gathered in ; there are no potatoes to di ? , which would give both food and employment , and the public works are put a stop to , Under such circumstances ,, it i 3 not surprising that these distressed creatures should make some manifestations of tbeir utter want .

      COUNTY OP _WATERFIWD , * . The Waterford Chronicle , in noticing the Tramore presentment sessions , says : — " We are happy to be able to state thnt , although there was an immense multitudo of the labouring people outside the Sussions-houso during the meeting , that the greatest regularity and order was ob served , and every one seemed satisfied that the gentlrmen who attended tbe meeting , were anxious to do everything to lessen their distress ; nevertheless , a company oi the 1 st Dragoons , together with a large constabulary force , vrere in attendance , and paraded the town _during the day .

      COUNTY OF LONGFORD . _Non-Payhent of Rent . —On Sunday night last , an outbreak occurred in the district of country lying between Grmmrd _, _Arvngh , Bullinaleo , nnd H : ill'mtmuck . Last week , O . Johnston , agent , and _Geoige Maeonchy _, _Efq ., arrived in this country , and the tenants were noticed that he would sit in Ballinalee on Monday last to receive rent . There has been a general cry out since the failure of the potato crop that no rent should be paid for this year ; a number of poraons , amounting to between 300 and 400 , 50 of whom wure armed with guns , & c , visited almost every one of Mr . Maconchy's tenants' bouses , on Sunday night , in the district

      abovenamed , swore some and threatened others that if they paid any rent to the agent , they would again visit them and take their lives . This to many ofthem , who mere previously pre-disposed that way , was quite sufficient to prevent them , and consequently Mr . Johnston waited in vain on Monday , to receive rent , but about 11 o ' clock , a large mob of persons , between 300 and 400 , headed by a man carrying a pole , with a loaf on the top of it , entered tho town in a menacing way , and declared no rent sliouid be paid by any one . The aid of the militnry was called in to disperse the crowd , but before this they had been induced quietly to leave the town . It does not appear , however , tbat the agent got

Dihold , Sept 24 . —We had yesterday tho whole population of half a dozen parishes parading with black flags , with the following inscription— "Trade , Work , Bread . " They paid Lord Vontry the compliment of the first visit , who assured them that evory exertion had been made bythe committee to sivo them speedy employment , and that the delay was the fault ofthe government , Tbaleb , SHrT . 25 . —On Saturday last we heard persons declare tliey could not purchase a pound of flour or oatmeal in the whole town ; and we have just heard that things are in the same state at the present moment . Towards the evening of the above-mentioned day , crowds assembled at the baker ' s shops , fearful least they should be disappointed in procuriug a portion of the bread then iu the oven .

      In the very midst of these ominous and afflicting occurrences , untouched by the distress which prevails unawed bv the probable _conseqiienees , the eviction of tenantry by the landlords proceeds . The Sligo Companion says : — , A few days ? go about thirty families were turned out by the sheriff , on the property of Sir Robert Gore Booth , at _Liaadell ; whcii the sheriff went to execute thu habere some of the poor people were , as we have been informed , lying in fever , hut this circumstance did not prevent " thc law-form taking its course . " A few of tho families returned to their old dwellings , having no other place on God ' s earth to shelter them from tlio winds of heaven ; such an infringement upon the rights of property could not be tolerated ; they were summoned before the magistrates at Teeson Petit _Sessions , and on consenting to leave their hovels during the week the matter was i _rranged . Wo are aware tliat these tenants were in _arrear of rent , but was this a time to dispossess them 1

The importations upon which the government calculated aro not expected for another month _atleast .

Tliey came together to proclaim their distress as intolerable , and ns having reached already tbe utmost limits ot * endurance . Tbey said tbey were living in many instances for a lone : time back on one

Tho Catholic clergymen who were returning from stations addressed to them a few words , _assuring them that no exertions were spared by thc gen tlemen of the Uelief Committee to make known in thc proper quarter their distress , and that in order to its alleviation , ihey would strive to get some roads opened as soon as possible .

So great is the panic excited by the prospect of approaching scarcity , that almost every family amongst the class referred to , who can raise the means of _emigration , is removing to America , from every locality in the neighbouring counties . \ Ve had expected to be able to give a list of the average _numbtr of those who have left our port for the other side of the Atlantic during the last few weeks , but have been disappointed .

      000-AWFUL DISTRESS ASD OUTRAGE IN _CASTIiKMARl'J'B ' Sept . 24 . —To-day , about twelve o ' clock , a iarge body of men , abput 100 , representing themselves as front the neighbourhood of Cloyne and Shangarry , famine and desperation depicted in their countenances , invaded this quiet and unprotected little town , carrying terror and destruction into the bakers shop * , _biit respecting all other description of property . Dire necessity alone , said they , is our excuse , we prefer to be shot dead at once rather than encounter the horrors of starvation ; we are willing to work for fair wages , but that alternative is cruelly denied us , Tlie gentlemen , said they , are _leaving us to be fed by the government , and the government are leaving us to the gentlemen , who appear to be iqually negligent _inhasfcening toourrelief . Employment or food is all we want ; and unless one or the other is speedily provided , we shall he forced by nature ' s first law , to come again , not in hundreds , but in thousands , and when God cannot , man should not . blame us .

      Atthe weekly meeting in Conciliation Hall , the usual letter from Mr . O'Connell was read , in which he repeated his suggestion of a committeo of delegates , from tha landlord ' s meeting in Dublin , and abused the English press , whose conduct at the present moment he described as " fantastically atrocious . Tho meeting was very thinly attended . Rest £ 98 . Dublin- , Sept . 21 . Young Ireland Meeting this day . —Great Excitement . —In consequence ofan _atlvei _tisemeiit which appeared in the Freeman ' s Journal , announcing a ineetinu ofthe friends of * ' free discussiou , " including the seceders from Conciliation-ball , a vast number ot persons congregated about tbe Victoria Hotel , Bolton Street , long before the hour appointed for ths meet *

      Inir ( halt-past two ) . The steps of the ' hotel , ' an unoccupied tenement , was taken p » _sscssion of by a number of the Old Ireland party , whilst the middleof thc street was occupied by a heterogeneous mass of noisy hnaianity , whose voices certainly wore loudest _, and , as may be presumed in consequence , most numerous , for the venerable division of Irelandism . It appears that a dancing-master , named Pidgeon , rents the premises in which tho intended assemblage was to have taken place ; and , as a ' public character' of this description has no politics , when he ascertained that there was likely to be sn unruly assemblage in Terpsichore ' s region , he took to himself the liberty of padlocking the door of the room , which , by-the-bye _, had been paid for by a person always looked upon as a " flaming repealer . " As the hour

      approached for the _meeting , the crowd became denser , and the cries of the Old Ireland party , who occupied the steps , and planted themselves against the door , demanding admittance , were mot witb shouts and _jeerings by the juveniles in the street . Anions * the persons present were a number of Chartists , a very small number , for O'Connell's denunciation , some time ago , reduced them to an extraordinary tenuity . : Captain Bryan , of Itaheny , one of the late seceders , was to have taken the chair , and arrived amidst a _sto-m of groans and hisses from the " Old Irelanders , ' and per contra from their opponents . Thc captain , seeing how matters stood ,

      walked about for a while upon the flags , which , with difficulty , the police kept clear , and , _finding there was no chance of Old Ireland giving way ( the captain all the time unconscious , as were thc ethers , that the owner of the arena had backed out of his bargain ) , the gallant chairman of Young Ireland departed , seemingly well pleased to have oscaped the presidency of a meeting which promised so small a share of quietude to the holder of the intended ollice . At a quarter to 3 the crowd became denser and more noisy . And it is curious that the most noisy and energetic amongst the '' Young Irelanders" were the e ' erks ofan ofKcein whicharelativeof Mr . O'Connell holds

      asituation whicli has been lately , if not now , in the hands . of a Conservative member of Parliament . _# The spirits oi tbe eiders and the juveniles were beginning to effervesce , when a large force of poliee under _Superintendent Ellwood made their appearance , and by their extremel y good-natured and quiet conduct managed ( along with a little wholesome fear of proximate station-houses ) to cool the ardour of the physical force men—many of whom , as could be gleaned from their exclamations , did nofc ascribe too much " morality" to the occupants ofthe Old Ireland position . No likelihood _appearing of the door being _O'lcncd , a step-ladder was hoisted over the heads of the persons on the steps ofthe " Victoria , " and Town Councillor Sheridan , who , as proprietor of the " Eagle Foundry , " was cheered , in his immediate vicinity ,

      asa " man mettle , " was called to the—ladder ! Standing upon this simple footing , he addressed the immense crowd , on the outskirts of wliich there were half-a-dozen orators , and so impartially were the cheers distributed , that none of the speakers had reason to complain on the score of _encouragement . In tbe midst of tbis exhibition , one " Young Irelander" dressed perfectly ad unguem , carried away by his enthusiasm , danced _mseelly in the geitter , in _oreler to manifest how " Dan was tripping tlie polka beforo the Saxon Victory . " It being totally impossible to hear ono word , Town Councillor M'Keuua proposed ( from the steps , ) a vote of confidence in O'Connell . This was hailed with tremendous ehecrint' inside the bodyof the mooting , and wns received with the most unconscious uproar from witliout . Thc motion was seconded by a gentleman named Crooke , an extensive auctioneer , as I was informed . Another contest of lungs took place , and , after various essays

      on the pneumatic organs of each party , _MyJea Tobyn , Esq ., J , C , proposed , and Mr . Atkins , sword-bearer to the corporation , seconded a resolution condemning the ' oonduct of the "Young Ireland party , " who , standing up for " free discussion , " wouIq not allow arguments to be heard . Several individuals addressed thc meeting from the steps , several others addressed them from the streets , but all were equally inaudible . The rain now began to pour down ; and , although tbe Boston magistrate quelled an Irish row , once upon a time , by letting fly cold water upon them from the _fire-eagines , the rain had ' not the effect of totally dispersing the assemblage , until the surcharged umbrellas , appetite for dinner , and the desire to see and hear tbe pledge administered by the Very Rev . Dr . Spratt , ( local rival of Father Matthew , ) neutralised the effects of the political fever , to which her Majesty ' s Dublin lieges had been so unexpectedly subjected .

      MANSION HOUSE . A rcil Irishman , named John Burke , appeared before Alderman Gibbs to give evidence opainst a fellownamed Richard Carter , in appearance a _coalwliipper , on a charge of ? robbery . The complainant walked into Court iu a state of evident astonishmei _.-t , with his hair standing aiv end , his large neck ami _chrBt bare , and his eyes staring- He did not seem to understand anything whatever about the business upon which hi ? presence was required , until the prayer-book , with tbe cross upon it , was put into his hand . Charles Kverett , brother to a licensed victualler , 81 , Tower-street , stated that on Thursday evening th complainant , wbo had beenhopptng in _Id-nt , walkml into the home with four sovereigns , the fruit of his hard labour , stitched up in the waistband of his _brecche- . Witness

      persuaded him to leave tlie money in care of the house , and next morning theprisoner , who had been lingering _afti-r the poor man , applied for it , but witness , of course , _refused to let any o : _io have it but the owner , to whom the sovereigns were delivered , with a caution as to the person who had so unwarrantably applied _f-.-r tiiem . As the complainant _see-meel to bis rather unacquainted with London life , witness determined to watch him to tha stoumtr in which ho was abont to depart for Ireland , hnd had not gone far when he _ohserved the complainant and the prisoner ( jo into a public-house , where the former laid down upon thc table tho four sovereigns , and the prisoner took np tbrei' of them , stating that he would take the owner to Dublin and _kei-p his money safu for him . The complainant contentedly pocketed tbe odd sovereign , n ; . d the prisoner then endeavoured to get away hy _stratagem , and certainly wouM have escaped if proper

      means had not heen taken to secure him . In thc _stationhouse the prisoner denied that he had the monfy . but afterwards delivered it up , not , lww & _vt-r , without a threat to mark and do for witness when he should got out of quod . J ' _.-hn Burke was theu called . Burke : Why , then , here I am , sure . —Alderman Gib _'« : Where do you come from , my friend ?—Burke : Oh , I came from Castle Carberry : it ' s _ov-r in the county of Cork , —Alderman Gibbs : Yeur have been hopping here ?—Burke : Yes ; I cmi hop , and I can reap , and I can mow ; sure enough , wasn ' t I _Ired and born in it?—Alderman Gibbs : What _lt-ive ynu to say about the _sorerri / ns yon had I— Burke ; Why , 1 have one ofthem here ( pulling out a _sovereign ) . Alderman _GiMis : But what hnve jou to say about tho other three '—Burke ( pointing to three sovereigns which had been taken from the prisoner ) : Why , there they are plain enough . ( Laughter . )—Alderman Gibbs : Tell me , in vour own way , how _yi _.-u got rid of them .

      Burke : Oh ! by my suol , ihat gmtleman ( pointing to the prisoner ) can tell you as well as me . Well , it w . 13 this wa ) . I had mj four sovereigns to go home wid , and I _iroes into this gentleman ' s ( Everett ' s ) _hou-e to lodge , and he makes me give him the money till morning . Wei " , in the . morning he counts out my money to me , and tells mo to take c . ire of it , and not to trust it to anybody but myself ; so the gent ! eman there ( prisoner ) comes up to me and towld me there was a steamer going to Dublin , and he'd carry mo in it for he was going there too . Well , I shows him the _mone-y , and we went and had soma beer and backy together , and he let me pay for it . So then , says he , show me the four sovereigns , and I did , and he gave me one of them to pay my passage wid , and he put the other three in his pocket ; and , says he , they're as safe _thu-e as in thei bank —( _lau-ihter)—so he

      promised to take care of ' em , for I tomd him to be sure to mind Vm for me , that I mig ht bring ' _e-m home safe to Castle _C-irberry . — Alderman Gibbs : How could you expect to get them afier they got into the hands of such a man ns this !—Burke : Eh , why them , Ood knows I never thought of that—Alderman Gibbs : Did you know him at all ?—Burhe : No ; I never saw him afore . — Alderman Gibb 3 : And how could you think of entrusting your money , after tha caution you got from Mr .

      if it wasn ' t for this gentleman ( Mi . Everett ) , I don't think : hat gentleman ( tbe _prisoner ) would bo so honest ns to give up the money . Upon my soul I don ' t _b'lievs I'd he a _farilcn the bettlier for coming over , —Alderman Gibbs : You ought to he very much obliged to Mr . Everett , and I havo no doubt that you are . But for him , your money would hava gone . —Burke ' . Ob , thin , God knows I thank him , and I'll -rive him shares of it if he likes , — Mr . Everett said he would not take the value ofa pint of beer from the poor Irishman , whom he rejoiced in being able tosrrve . The prisoner . I assure you , my lord , it ' s all a mistake about me . —Alderman : No ; I'll show you there ' s no mistake at all about you . I'll send you for three months to hard labour in Bridewell . As for Burke , I shall take care that in his way to the steamer he shall meet no other gentlemen who will volunteer to take care of liis mouey .

      SOUTiIWAKK . A young female attended for the pupose of makin _? an application relative to her desertion by her husband _, under thc following singular circumstances . She stated that two years ago she married a man much older than herself , wish a grown-up family , and until very _rece-ntly they had lived as comfortable as possible _togrtther . She had now two cMldrcii by him , and htr step-children wera in the habit of ill-using them . She called upon her husband for protection , but instead of taking her part , he had clandestinely left her and her children to starve . Her stepson , a young man about 25 years old ( about her

      own age ) , hud been the cause of his leaving her ; in fact , he had _forutel his father away ; therefore , the purport of her application was to obtain a warrant to apprehend the _vouiig * man for stealing her husband . ( Laughter . ) Mr . Seeker said the application could uot be acceded to . She ought not to have _m-irried au old man with a grown-up family , for she might have expected to be annoyed by thein , as they miist certainly feel exasperated at his bringing a young wife home to rule over them . The applicant said she did not wish to have her husband * ent to gaol , hut the son ; and finding her application wasnot attended with the success she anticipated , she left the Ceiurt , evidently much diappointed .
