They beat him unmemfulVy , and his escape is owing to the fact of Ins being a povvei-? ul and active man . The patriots were assisted by a bulldog , with which they worried the man whilst the } r & JZS ' nQ ^' iCovsTT-Ur . Richard Ely , a gentleman residing in the Queen ' s County , was fired at by some unknown assassin on Friday evening , aU place called Klyle .

, Tun Battle of tiik Banks . —The great Sadleir swindles are again brought before the public , and a fierce battle between the Tipperary and London and County Banks is at present raging in one of the Dublin law courts . " Whoever loses , " remarks the Freeman ' s Journal , " lawyers will gain , " in the present strugg le between the official manager of the Tipperary Bank and the directors of the London concern , over whose interests John Sadleir presided with such matchless integrity . Tjie Ikish Bank : Returns . — The last Irish bank returns exhibit an increase in the circulation of 766 , 085 ? .,
¦ which , added to the increase of the preceding month , shows an expansion since the end of August of upwards of a million . In the coin held there is a slight increase . The increase in the circulation extends to every one of the banks , and , large as it is , it is not greater than that which usually takes place at this period of the year . In 1 S 57 the October returns exhibited an augmentation of 77 , 000 / ., and in 1856 the increase was 860 , 000 / . The Irish banks are now 336 , 388 ? . above the sum authorised by certificate .

Naval And Military. Flogging.—The Troops...
NAVAL AND MILITARY . Flogging . —The troops at Chatham on Tuesday were marched to the Spur battery for the purpose of witnessing , the punishment of a soldier named Thompson for having stolen a sovereign from a comrade . The prisoner , who bears a very bad character , was sentenced to receive fifty lashes , and to be imprisoned for six months . He was removed to the military hospital , and as soon as he is discharged from that establishment will undergo the remainder of his sentence at Fort Clarence . T \ iu Alleged Crimean Deskrteh . —A court-martial was to have assembled at Chatham , by order of the Cominander-in-Chief , for the trial of private Thomas Tolo , of the 7 th Royal Fusiliers , for having , when
serving with his regiment in the Crimea , in the year 1854 , deserted to two Russian enemy , along witli a companion named Moore , since dead . The prisoner was apprehended in Manchester a few months back , and has siuco been kept in strict confinement to await his trial . Owing to the difficulties experienced in procuring evidence to support the charge , his trial has of necessity been postponed . After the order for the assembling of the court had been issued , circumstances camu to the knowledge of tho authorities , on which the Duko of Cambridge countermanded the order for the assembling of tho court-martial until further orders , and tho trial of the prisoner has been still further postponed . Important evidonce in support of tho prosecution has boon recently obtained .
Naval Steam Ram , —Admiral Sir George Sartorius has returned to this subject jn a letter to the Times . Ho says : —" Tho vaiaaeau ~ bdlicr I propose can bo increased to any tonnage , and aa easily managed as any other steam vessel ; it can keep the sea perfectly . Tho weight of iron necessary for tho defence of a steam ram of 8000 tons will bo some hundreds of tons less than if that vessel had boon a three-decker or 00-gun ship j this uiiYorenco increases with the tonnage of the steam ram . I quite flgroo with you as to tho utility of using tho
Leviathan as a steam ram , Rcduco her height one-half , strengthen her intornally , put in her forty heavy guns , firing molten iron loaded shells , case her with shot-proof iron , and then lot all tho actual navies of the earth try to pass up our channel without her permission . I Imvo been earnestly trying to'induce the lato and present Admiralty to nominate a commission comprising men of the flrt ) t eminence in military and civil engineering , naval constructors , and practical sailors , to examine this , most important question , for all tho alterations ,
adaptations , and constructions now going on must infallibly be a total and absolute loss if the vaisseau-bdher is a . reality . The Ministers are the best judges when such a vessel is to be constructed , as we can always build faster than any other nation , but it must be remembered that it is possible for others secretly to prepare the parts of a steam ram , and have them ready to put together at a moment s notice . The speed of the vaisseau-belier must be of course superior to that of any screw frigate or hne-ofbattle ship . Tiie common line-of-battle ship , or frigate , even if defended by iron plates , could not resist the . blow of the ship built expressly for a vaisseau-beher . lineofbattle
Enormous Akmament . —The -- ship Trafalgar , 120 , in dock at Chatham , where she is being converted into a 90-gun screw steamer , is ordered to be fitted with the following powerful armament •—Lower deck , 32 8-inch guns , each 65 cwt ., 9 feet long ; middle deck , 34 32-pounders , each 56 cwt ., 9 feet 6 inches long ; upper deck , 22 C 8-pounders , 95 cwt ., 8 feet long , together with two 68-pounders , each of 95 cwt ., on chocks . " . Portsmouth . —The following work is going on in Portsmouth Dockyard : —In the steam basin the Melpomene , 51 , Mersey , 40 , Dauntless , 33 , all screw-frigates are bcin ^ brought forward for commission . In the old basin are the Britannia , 120 , sailing three-decker , fitting entered

Continental Notes. France. Sir John Bueg...
CONTINENTAL NOTES . FRANCE . Sir John Buegoykk has reached the Hotel des In valides in charge of the funeral car of Napoleon Bona parte , a relic which the French are very proud of havinj received from England . Prince Napoleon was there t ( accept it in the name of the Emperor . He did so bj remarking that England appeared anxious to efface th « remembrance of St . Helena . The Prince also spoke o : the alliance beUeeu the two countries being durable foi the sake of the interests of humanity .
The Municipal Council of Paris met on Saturday The extension of the boundaries of Paris will be on < of the first questions brought before it . This affair is t < be pushed on with great despatch , and will be brought before the Corps Legislatif at the opening of the session It appears that agents are in Paris beating up foi female recruits for our Australian colonies . Large premiums and promises of husbands are offered to obtaii young damsels , and the agents have succeeded in inducing about one hundred to accept the terms . They must be under thirty years of age .
The Moniteur of Tuesday contains a letter from the Emperor of the French to Prince Napoleon , in which he speaks of the necessity that there was of maintaining intact the honour of the national flag in the affair of the Charles-et-Georges . He says that nothing but a profound convictiqn of right could have led to risking a breach of amicable relations with the sovereign of Portugal . With regard to the so-called African immigration , the Imperial mind is not , we are told , at all made
up . The Emperor has no wish to countenance enterprises opposed to progress , humanity , and civilisation . If the new immigration scheme is really nothing better than the slave trade in disguise , Napoleon HI . will not have it at any price . The Prince , therefore , is directed to inquire into the facts , and meanwhile , as the bes t mode of obviating future occasions of strife , to resume those negotiations for the employment of Indian coolies instead of African negroes , which were some time back commenced with the British Government .
Mr . Lever , the founder of the Transatlantic Steampacket Line from Galway to America , is in Paris , for the purpose of completing the arrangements by which telegraphic communication will be made from all parts of Europe to any part of the American continent in six days , at a fixed mice . Mr . Jberer is about to explain the advantages wbicn trance would derive by adopting his line for the transmission of her mails , merchandise , and passengers to America and her possessions at St . Peter ' s , Newfoundland . At present this school for the French navy is at least twenty days from France , but as Mr . Lever ' s lino is to carry the British mails to St . John ' s , Newfoundland , his company could deliver the French mails at St . Peter ' s in seven days from Paris .
Since the accession to office of M . Delangle , as Minister of the Interior , the French press enjoys a greater degree of freedom than it did previously , as is manifest from tho independence with -which several of the journals have lately treated important matters of internal policy without having been interfered with in anyway or visited with avcrtissements . —The Presse contains an article , written by M . Guerault , in which he speaks of the gross superstition which the French clergy have of late been endeavouring to encourage among the ignorant peasantry in the rural districts by means of pretended miracles such as those at Lourdes and La Salette .
It is rumoured that the magistrate appointed to examine tho charge against M , do Montalembert has decided that tho incriminated article does not bear out tho charge , and that ho \ vtll consequently issue a declaration that there aro not sufficient grounds for a prosecution . Tho Semaine lidtyieuse announces that the Prince Lucien Bonaparte , who is in hojy orders , is occupying himself actively hi re-establishing tho order of St . Bernard in Franco . It is stated that a yropos of tho French flag hoisted by the Duko of Mnlakoil' on his residence at Knightsbrldge , and which , after a diplomatic correspondence on the subject , ho has been orderod to take down , Count Walewski lias written a circular to French ngonts ia foreign countries laying down rules for their guidance as to tho circumstances under which it is proper to display the nationnl colours .
