      Health O? Loxdox Durixg The Week.—The •N...

      Health o ? Loxdox _durixg the Week . —The number of deaths registered in the week was 1 , 070 ; the weekly average for tho summer q uarter ( which commences with thc present month ) offive previous years , is 1 , 003 ; this return , therefore , shows an excess of 62 . The whole mortality is also rather high as compared with the numbers returned from week to week during the last two months . There is an obvious increase in deaths caused by zymotic or epidemic diseases , with a decrease , though not io an equal extent , in those produced by affections of the respiratory organs . In the former class , during the last three weeks , the deaths have been progressively 277 , 349 , and 393 ; in the latter , the numbers in thc same weeks were respectively 119 , 105 , and 87 . Hooping cough numbers 47 , or double the

      "usual amount of fatal cases . "Diarrhoea increases a little ; but the deaths from it , which last week were 46 , have not reached tbe average of the season , -which is 76 ; for in previous years , chiefly in a more advanced part ofthe quarter , this complaint Las carried off many children of tender age . In the corresponding week of 1 S £ 6 the deaths from diarrnoea were 70 . Two cases are reported of children who died , one of diarrhrsa , another of hydrocephalus , at So . 3 , linney-court , Museum-street , where the back of the house has no windows , and the smell from drains and other nuisances in front is extremely offensive . The average at this season from cholera is only 8 its recent progress is shown by the deaths in the last six weeks , which were successively 9 , 22 . 42 , 49 , 124 , and in last week 152—viz .,

      94 of males and 58 of females . Of the 152 victims of tbis disease , 19 were under 5 years of age- ; 30 at 5 and under 15 years of age ; SS between 15 and 60 ; and 13 at 60 and upwards . The ages of two are not " returned . It is worthy of observation , that not more than 14 deaths from cholera last week occurred in the west and northern districts , though fhe population which they comprise is about a third of the whole . On the south side of the Thames there were 83 , and in this region tbe districts of _Botherhitbe , Lambeth , and Bermondsey are fatally distinguished . Other epidemics differ , at present , not much from the average . A young man died of ¦" want" in Camden Town , and an infant of " exposure to the "night air , and purpura ha * morrhagica " in the Borough-road sub-district . A man of 4 S died

      of " paralysis from working in a lead factory , after an illness of 13 weeks . " Mr . Butterfield , the Registrar of Islington East , has recorded what he describes as " a curious fact , " but without stating his authority , that women employed in tbis manufacture last much longer than men . The mean hei ght of the barometer in the week was 29 . 799 . On Saturday , when the temperature was highest , the thermometer reached 82 deg . 1 min . in the shade , and 103 deg . 5 min . in the sun . The mean temperature , ¦ which for the week was 62 deg . 7 "min ., was higher than the average on five days , and on Saturday exceeded the average by 9 deg . 2 min . "A tiesipied Murder . —On Friday week , about sis

      ¦ o ' clock , a diabolical attempt was made to destroy the life or lives of two ladies , the daughters of Dr . Stokes , of Portland-place , Islington . They were sitting in the drawing-room , when they were fired at by some ruffian residing in _Northampton-street , -which is at the back of Mr . Stokes ' s grounds . Police officers Collins and Withers ,, of the 3 f division _, ¦ who were on the spot watching some thieves , were instantly called into the doctor ' s house , and after the alarm had somewhat subsided , they found a -bullet embedded in the wall , it having passed over the ladies' heads and then through a carved cornice . Every effort was immediately made to detect the dastardly scoundrel , but up to Saturday afternoon no clue had been obtained of * him .

      Destructive Fibe is Lambeth . —On Sunday between ten and eleven o ' clock , a fire of a very alarming character broke out in a long range of premises belonging to Messrs . Baker and Sons , the builders ; "Off Palace New-road , Lambeth , in that portion ofthe " works termed the "fitting shop . " Several engines . of the London establishment were promptly in attendance , but the firemen were unable to get the flames extinguished until the fitting and blacksmith's shops were almost consumed and the store room burnt . The total loss is very considerable , and "anfortunately Messrs . Baker were uninsured . Prom the examination made there is no doubt but that the fire was caused by the spontaneous i gnition of some old rope stowed away in the basement floor of the _buildin-r .

      Ton is a Hajxwav Train . —A serious accident happened in the parliamentary train , whieh left the "Waterloo-bridge station on Saturday morning , at twenty minutes past eight . It appears that one of the " explosive signals wliich the guard had with him in the passengers' luggage van caught fire , ex ploded , and caused the other signals to explode . The" luggage was set fire to , and a considerable portion of it was completely destroyed . Fortunately , the train was near the Andover-road station , and as soon as it reached assistance was procured , and the fire was extinguished .

      Disastrous Fire is Lambeth . —On Wednesday morning , about five o ' clock , a fire , attended with nearly fatal results to the inmates , broke out upon the premises belonging to Mr . 0 . Cochrane , a corn and seed merchant , in the New Out , Lambeth . Tbe inmates , on _being aroused , found the -Barnes ascending the staircase so fiercely as to prevent then * descending , and they weie at length obliged to ¦ jump upon a leaden roof over one of the stores filled with hay and straw . Two police officers having got a short ladder , they held it ont at arm ' s length in the form of abridge , over wliich the parties passed into the house adjoining . The fire was not extinguished -until the whole of-Mr . Cochrane ' s furniture and stock-in-trade were destroyed , and thc premises nearly gutted .

      Destructive Fire at _Bethjtai > Gseex . —On Wednesday evening , about five o ' clock , a fire broke out -upon tlie premises , in Anne-street , Bethnal Greenroad , in thc -joint occupation of Mr . _Silverton , a fancy " cabinet-maker , and Mr . Taylor , a trimming ¦ manufacturer . Several engines promptly attended , nut the fire wasnot got under until property roughl y estimated al £ S 0 D had been destroyed . Uxwholesosie Meat in "Newgate Mabket . —At the London Sessions , on Saturday last , Thomas Hobb _' s , of _Xewmarket , was sentenced to pay a fine of five pounds for sending for sale in . Newgate Market a beast that had died , and was unfit for human food , "being putrid inside . The defendant ' s statement was , that the beast was " blown , " by overfeeding on turnips , and wiis killed , and sent up to London .

      Sebiocs Accn ) _-ia * T _oxBOAsxt a JJamsgate _Sieameb . — On Friday morning week , as the Little "Western steam-packet , now running between Iiamsgnte and London , was rounding the . Ness Buoy , the foremast , -with the sails set , snapped clean asunder , the yard ¦ r _o lling on deck , killing ; a woman of the name of _XaveSilmell , Belonging to Bethel Asylum , CamberwelL fracturing the head of a young girl , of the name of Gall , living in Augusta-terrac ? , Ramsgatc , besides wounding several other passengers . The Western immediately bore up for Margate , where medical assistance was immediately procured . The _Tiody of the " _uiifortttnatc woman , Lavetchnell , was taken ashore , and the young girl , under tbe care of "Drs . Hunter and Thornton , was conveyed back to her friends at Itamsgate . The other passengers who had received injury preferred remaining on board to proceeding liome , baring medical assistance on board . It appears that a sudden breeze catching the foresail on rounding the land , was the entire cause ofthe accident .

      Axleged _IsFAJfiiciDE . —On Tuesday "Mr . Wenbury Wakley held an inquest at the Elephant and Castle , lung ' s-road , St . Pancras , on view of the body of a new-born female child , whose death is alleged to "have taken place in consequence of violence on the part of-Elizabeth "Wardle , her mother , aged 19 , a single woman . It appeared from the evidence that the mother ofthe deceased was in the service of Mrs . Grifiin , of 24 , Churchway , Drum--mond-street . last " Wednesday she was accused by her mistress of being in the family way . She denied that she was , and said that people only wanted something to talk about . The same evening , between seven and eight o ' clock , she -went into the yard , having previously been suffering from severe pains . - She was followed into the yard by her

      mistress , who observed the pavement in a state that induced her to remark that she had given " birth to an infant . " The water-closet wis searched , when the deceased infant was observed lying on the soil . The mother was given into the custody of policecenstable Donovan , S 297 , and the infant was promptly taken out of the soil . It was then alive , and having been washed , was removed to the workhouse , " where the mother was also taken . Every care was bestowed on the child by the nurses of the -workhouse , and Mr . Bobinson , the parish surgeon , oat It gradually sank and died on Friday . Mr . -Bobinson said that deceased was full grown . There

      _Tvere several bruises about the body , and upon a post . i . ortcm examination lie found an indentation and fracture of the p arietal bone . There were also effusion into the cavities of the chest and congestion of tbe lungs . Death arose from congestion of the lungs and the injury to the brain by tne fracture of the parietal bone , which he had no doubt was the effect of a fall either on the pavement of the yard or the transit of the body down the closet . Evidence was g iven that the accused had made preparation of some baby linen , which was at her mother ' s . Verdict : "That the deceased died from the effect of congestion of the brain and lungs , but - ¦ "here was not Eu _* _uicient evidence to show how the

      injuries , were caused . " _Sru-inr . mora _llzveasn of Fobtuxe . —An inquest was held before Mr . Walton , at the Northumberland Head , Port-street , on view-of tbe body of William _TYawnisham , aged 49 years , who destroyed _ldmself hy swallowing a quantity ol laudanum under the following very shocking circumstances . It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was a tailor , and formerly carried on very extensive business at the "Westrend , hut he became embarrassed in his _afiaira , and was rednced to very great distress . In -consequence of the loss of his business and fortune .

      Health O? Loxdox Durixg The Week.—The •N...

      the deceased and his wife repeatedly said they should be compelled to enter a workhouse , tbe circumstance of which so operated upon the mind of Mrs . _Warmisham tbat , about three years since , she destroyed herself by hanging . * Since thence the deceased had been in a desponding state , and a few months since hc attempted his life by swallowing A quantity of laudanum . He was closely watched since , and on Thursday week he was discovered lying upon the floor iri hi 3 room in a State of insensibility . Mr .

      Of The Dam, In The Workings. If The Last...

      Of the dam , in the workings . If the last length of air-way had been wider , and the dam not sufficiently stopped , it would not have prevented the " gas from accumulating , even if the air-way had been three times wider than it was . He was of opinion aftera minute examination ofall the works , that the pit was in a proper state for working . . The air-ways were properly driven to carry off the gas . It was the boy ' s duty to see that the dams ofthe spouts wore properly stopped , and when they discovered any gas in the workings not to let the men commence work until it was cleared . He ought not to have used a naked lig ht . There were two perfect safety-lamps in the pit on the morning of the explosion . Witness had seen a safety-lamp which had been found in the pit that morning , with the top off ; and from the appearance of it , being covered with dust and dirt , the lamp must have been unscrewed before the explosion took _pbieei On unscrewing alighted

      _safety-Tde _Explosiox at Dodlet Port Colliery . — The adjourned inquest on the bodies of the unfor tunate persons lulled bythis accident , took place at Dudley on Friday the 6 th inst . —Mr . John Yardley , mine surveyor of the Moat Colliery , deposed that he had examined tbe working condition ofthe pit in question that ( Friday ) morning . The air- . was then thrown into three different ways or directions , as before the explosion . Witness examined the spoilt iind dam where the explosion took place , ¦ and supposing the dam to be properly stopped , ' the air-way was sufBcientfor the safe working of the pit ; bufein case the dam was not properly stopped , gas niight have accumulated and exploded , on the other side

      lamp , a candle may be lighted by it ; but it is at all times improper to unscrew the safety-lamp where there is the least appearance of g as . Mr . Yardley minutely explained the working of the pit , and his replies to questions as to . its working condition were satisfactory . —Mr . Henry Johnson , mine surveyor , of Dudley , was next called . He- stated that he had examined the pit , and made a plan of it . The air-way was , in his opinion , sufficient to . carry off any quantity of gas ; in other respects his . evidence was corroborative of that given by Mr . Yardley . The-lamp ( he said ) had evidently been unscrewed by hand , and not blown off . —After one or two other , witnesses had been called , the Coroner summed up , and the jury returned the following verdict - — "That the explosion was caused by the want of proper precaution on the part ofthe doggy , Pritchard . "—Edward Brighton , another ofthe sufferers , died on Tuesday , andthe others are not expected to survive . .

      Axothee Mixi * Expxosiox .-rOn Wednesday , the 4 th inst ., another of these fearful occurrences took place at a colliery belonging to the British Iron Company , knownas ' The Black Waggon , " and situated at Old Hill , in the parish of Rowley Regis . A quantity of inflammable gas was ignited by the exposure of a lamp or candle , when an explosion occurred which seriously scorched four . men , slig htly injured another , and , we ... are informed , killed a sixth . Ax TxconRiGinLE Offender . — At the Dorset

      Quarter Sessions , a few days ago , a woman named Caroline Burden was found guilty of stealing a quantitv of oak bark , the property of John Kendall , at Sixpenny Handley . This woman had earned for herself the unenviable reputation of being an old and incorrigible offender , for it appeared from the records ofthe gaol that on the 2 nd of May , 1842 . she was sentenced to sis weeks' hard labour , for leaving her family chargeable to the parish ; on February 5 th , 1 S 46 , to twenty-one days . hard labour , for misbehaviour in the union workhouse "; on August 20 th , 1847 , to one _calendar"jmonth ' shard labour , for stealing peas ; on December 14 th , in the same year , to twenty-one days' hard labour , for stealing a fence ; and on December 22 nd , 1 S 4 S , to oneealendar month ' s hard labour . She was now sentenced to one month ' s hard labour .

George Greenhalgh , auctioneer , of this town . It appeared that on Monday week , about noon , Mr . Greenhalgh went to the prisoner ' s house with a warrant of distress from the landlady , and after speaking with him in the lane thc prisoner went into his house , and , seizing a poker , came out and struck him six or seven savage blows about the head and arms , inflicting deep wounds . He was conveyed to the police station , where he was attended by Mr . Sharp , surgeon , and every attention paid to him . Though able to attend the court he

      was not considered out of danger . A policeman was an eye-witness to thc affair , but the man was so savage and outrageous that he dared not * interfere with Mm until he had procured another officer to assist , The prisoner ' s conduct was very un seemly in court , and , after a reproof from the bench , he was committed for trial to the assizes . Darixo _Smugoldtg Attempt . —On Friday week , three men belonging to the Royal Artillery , stationed at Fort Moncton , observed a boat _| having a skiff in tow , approach the shore westward of the fort rnd hind three men , each of whom carried a half anker of spirits . The soldiers went up and captured the spirits , but did not detain the men . The boats were on Sunday seized by the

      Coast-Guard , and , with the spirits , delivered over to-the Custom-House . The boats belonged to a publican residing in the High-street , Gosport * the three men are not yet in custody . _Dabixq _Bdeglart at _Brackexfielu . —One night last week the house of Mr .

He is a native of Halifax . - ¦• _* . ¦

      8 miov 3 _Accidexi Ai Ipswich . —On Saturday last , a serious accident occured on the Stokerioadj Ipswich , between the railway bridge and the station . It " appears that Mr . Ashford , jun . ( son of Mr .

      Ostrich bridge , they were mot b y oneof those large brush carts , which on the road look like travelling shops . This object the horse refused to pass , when Mr . Asbford stepped out of tlie phaeton , giving his sister the reins , and endeavoured to lead the horse by . The animal plunged a good deal , and at length , making a sudden dash , released himself from Mr . Ashford ' s grasp , and started off towards Ipswich at a sharp canter . Miss Ashford , who is accustomed to driving , avoided several vehicles on the road , and had nearly succeeded in stopping the horse , when some persons shouted-at the top of their voices and threw their hats at the aninial with the view of checking his progress . - The horse started off anew , and had proceeded past the railway bridge without doing any mischief , when several vehicles were seen to be approaching . The first one , a gig , was safely passed , but behind this was a van , and as the

      phaeton approached it a dog cart suddenly passed the van , and the driver seeing the danger , and unable to avoid it , instantl y pulled up . As neither side of the road was clear , Miss Ashford endeavoured to pass the dog-cart on one side and tlie van on the other but in doing so the fore part and wheel of the phaeton came into voilent collision witli the wheel of tho dog-cart , the shock being so great as to throw Miss . Ashford from her seat with considerable _. voilence . ¦ Providentiall y this lady was not seriously injured , although she sustained _seycval abrasions , and for a . few seconds was insensible . Thehorse , which ; did not fall , dashed off with the phaeton in the direction of the -town , but " was stopped without doing any further mischief . The p haeton sustained considerable damage , the springs ofthe fore wheels being . broken , the steps bent , and the dashboard carried away . It scorns miraculous that no sacrifice of life occurred . : - _**

      Suicide of a Bmdk near Leeds . —A sad event occurred at Holbeck , near Leeds , on Monday afternoon , at the house of Mr . William Walley , of : Holbeck , near Leeds . Mr . Walley , whoisawoolstaplor in Leeds , was married on the * 21 st ult ., atthe church of St . Mary tho Virgin , London ; to Sarah Ann , the daughter of Mr . Joshua Haldren , of Hoxton , the lady being about twenty-seven years of ago . Up to Monday last nothing had occurred to create any dissatisfaction betweenMr . _-Walley-ahd bis bride , and on tho day named he was about to receive company . When Mr . Walley left home in the morning , his lady appeared in her usual health and spirits , and in the course of the day retired to her dressingroom , forthe purpose of changing her dress and preparing ; her toilet , previous to the arrival of her friends --but as she did not return , the servant proceeded to her room , where the unhappy lady was found quite dead . She had committed suicide by dividing the jugular vein ofthe neck . On Tuesday an inquest was held on the body , and adjourned .

      Attempt to Poison . —The parishioners of Trevalga , Cora-wall , have been in a state of great excitement for several days , in consequence of the life of their , vicar , tbo Rev ; J . T . Symons , having been greatly endangered , by poison . It appears that he took some calves' foot broth in the evening ofthe 2 Bdinst ., and was afterwards suddenly taken ill . It subsequently transpired that his servant , a lad about fourteen years of age , had put a quantity of arsenic , . which he had before purchased , into the basin containing the broth . . Report states that the lad ' s intention was not to poison his master , but he had premeditated the destruction of his mistress , by whom he supposed the broth would be eaten . The rev . gentleman is going on favourably , and it is hoped will recover . The perpetrator of the crime has absconded . —Cornwall Gazette .

      The Bishop ore Exeter ' s Butler , _chargei- with Stealing a Portmanteau . —At the Devon' -county sessions , last week , George Evans , butler to the Bishop of Exeter , was indicted on a charge of stealing a portmanteau containing clothes . The indictment contained eight counts—thefirst four charging tbe prisoner with stealing , and the last four with feloniously receiving . The property was laid in the several counts as belonging respectively to the Great Western Railway Company , the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company , the South Devon Railway Company , and Master Francis DuPre Montagu . The prosecution was instituted by the Great Western Railway Company . —It appeared' that in May , 1848 , Master Montagu lost his portmanteau on a journey from Bristol to "Newton , and nothing was heard of it until the month of June last , when the police received information which induced them to search the prisoner ' s apartment inthe bishop ' s residence at Bisbopstowe . They there found a quantity

      of articles marked " E . D . Montagu . ' Having taken possession of these things , they charged tlie prisoner with stealing the portmanteau , and ho replied that he had brought a portmanteau from London by mistake , and he supposed thc things wore in it . He was then taken into custody , and it appeared at the trial that in May , 1848 , the bishop travelled by railway from London to Torquay , giving his luggage in charge to the prisoner . A probability was therefore raised that the portmanteau might by aceident havo been placed amongst the things belonging to the bishop . This being the defence set up bythe prisoner , the Chairman ofthe Sessions left it to the jury to say whether they believed his account , or whether they thought he had stolen tlio portmanteau . The jury returned a verdict of " Set Guilty . " In the course of the trial several witnesses testified to the good character of the prisoner , and the Bishop of Exeter : said that if he should be acquitted , he would take him into his service again with unimpaired confidence .

      An TJnnatorai , Father . — -At the Police Court , Hull , on Monday , a labouring man , named Thomas Jarvis , was charged withtHe violation of two ofhis own daughters , the elder seventeen and the younger thirteen years of age . The offence complained of by tho younger was committed three weeks ago . The elder girl said that she was made a victim of her . father s brutality three years ago at York . They had always been afraid to speak of it before , as their father had beaten them and threatened " fo cut . them into mince meat . " A female named W ood gave evidence as to the brutal character which the man held in the neghbourhood . where'he lived . —Mr , _Dossor , surgeon , stated that ho had examined the younger girl , and that thero was ample evidence of her recent violation . —The prisoner when called upon for his defence said his daughters had told nothing but lies . —The superintendent of police stated that the prisoner had been before the bench on a previous occasion for an indecent assault

      upon a female .-7-The magistrates thought the evidence was not of a nature to warrant a conviction lor rape , though there could be no moral doubt of the fact . They therefore fined the prisoner £ 6 for a common assault , or two months imprisonment , and ordered him to find two sureties of £ 20 each to keep the peace for twelve months . — -The prisoner ' being unable either to pay the fine or find the sureties , was sent to gaol . The Glove Trade at LEICESTER , —ThC ' glOYC hands in Leicester are again on strike , and have been perimbulating the town , in a body , preceded by the beating of a drum . Their object , as alleged , is more to equalise prices than to obtain any general advance—some houses giving considerably less than others . They also state that the fine silk-glove hands are in Leicester very much under-paid to what the same branches are in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire , and that they intend to raise the price here to that given in those counties .

      Dover . —Discovery op an Ancient Relic—In making an excavation at the back of the premises lately occupied by Mr . Martin , in tbe market-place , near the Antwerp Hotel ,. a considerable quantity of human remains have been found ; and at a depth of several feet below the surface of the garden a chalk coffin was dug up . It is of the rudest formation , and evidently one of tbe earliest construction used for interment . Its age is probably from 800 to 1 , 000 years . The bones wincli . it contained—those of an infiint—are many of them perfect .

" Improvement at Limerick . —Floating Docks . — A most gratifying " sign of the times" was exhibited in the city of Limerick yesterday , on the occasion of laying the- first stone of the floating docks . The Limerick Reporter states , that a

      procossion consisting . of the corporation and other civic bodies , the military and police , the -Protestant and Roman Catholic clergy , and the several guilds of trades , marched from the Town-ball shortly after eleven o ' clock to tho intended site for the docks , the military bands and the gay flags and banners floating from tho barges alongside the quay adding a most _enlivening feature to the proceedings . The first stone was lain by the Mayor . The _Queen ' s Visit . —The State Prisoners . — Meeting of the Corporation . —A special meeting of the town council of Dublin was held yesterday in tho Royal Exchange , "to fake into consideration the letter of Sir George Grey ,., accompanied with a letter from his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant , in

      relation to the intended visit of her Majesty to this city , and make the necessary arrangements to receive her majesty on that most . happy occasion . " At a quarter to two o ' clock the chair was taken by tho Right Hon . the Lord Mayor . —Mr . Ferguson proposed that a committee be appointed to prepare an address , expressive of the satisfaction _wiijh which the corporation hailed an event so auspicious as the visit of her Majesty , and make such preparations as mi g ht be best calculated to do honour to her Majesty , and also enable all classes to participate in the joy and satisfaction which her visit would diffuse throughout her kingdom of Ireland . ( Hear , hear . )—Alderman Hudson said it was unnecessary for him to declare that he considered it to be a high honour

      to have the privilege of seconding the resolution . He would not upon such an occasion as that refer to . the past ; Perhaps so joyous an occasion should not be dimmed by so gloomy a retrospect ; but this ho would say , that the substantial grounds for complaint of , and remonstrance against , the misrule of Ireland had frequently been converted by interested parties into an imputation . of disloyalty against Irishmen . He believed that such an imputation was a _gl'OSS libel Upon the character of the country , and a gross libel upon thc sentiments and feelings of an Irishman ; therefore he rejoiced that their Queen was about coming amongst them , and that an opportunity was at length afforded to tho country to express to' her Majesty in person the sincerity and

      depth ot its attachment to her . ( near , and cheers . )—Mr . Loughnan : lie . would like to see her Majesty well received by every Irishman ; but he would " take the liberty of saying that he hoped her Majesty would not leave the country , without ordering the release of Mr . Smith O'Brien and the other unfortunate persons who were sentenced to undergo the punishment of transportation . —The Lord Mayor called tho speaker to order ; He felt as much sympathy for the state prisoners- as any person in the COUIlCil , but at the Slime timo be believed the introduction of this topic tended to do more harm than good to the . parties for whose benefit ifc had been brought forward . ( Hear , hear . )—Mr . Loughnan observed that no man would be more unwilling to

      injure the state-prisoners than he , but hc did not conceive their interests would , in the slightest respect , * be damaged by expressing the hope he entertained that as soon as the Queen came over to Ireland , the corporation would present an address to her M _. ijesty praying for the enlargement of these unfortunate gentlemen . ( Hear , hear . ) The question , was not one of a political character , as ivas proved by the fact that the address recently presented in behalf of the state prisoners -was numerously signed by men of totally different politics . ( Hear , hear . )—Mr Martin trusted that when her Majesty visited this country the town council would call upon her to exert almost the only prerogative of which her crown had not been denuded—the prerogative of mercy ; and

      afford her an opportunity of extending an act of grace to all the persons who were concerned in the political troubles of last year . ( Hear , hear . ) He had brought a resolution , with him in reference to this subject , but , at the suggestion . of some gentlemen , ho had consented to postpone it until the opinion of the prisoners' counsel had been taken upon the matter .

      DEPARTURE OF THE STATE PRISONERS . TUESDAY . —The state prisoners were yesterday placed on board the Trident steamer , at the Pigeon-house , and conveyed to her . 'Majesty ' s brig Swift , which sailed for Tan Diemen ' s Land . The following account of , their departure is given in Saunders ' s News Letter of this morning : — .. ' yesterday-morning the governor of Richmond Bridewell received a communication from Dublin Castle , directing him to have in readiness by eleven o ' clock , to leave the prison , Messrs . O'Brien , _Mcagheri M'Manus , and Q'Donohoe . The luggage belonging to the state prisoners was forwarded to Kingstown to be placed on board the Swift . The van in which it was _conveved to the Dublin and

      Kingstown Railway was guarded by mounted policemen with drawn swords . At eleven o ' clock a . m . another van was driven within the yard of the prison , accompanied by an inspector of police and the governor of Smitlifield Penitentiary . The prisoners prepared to depart , took leave of their friends , and at . half-past eleven o ' clock the van left the gaol , escorted by a squadron of dragoons commanded by three officers , and a strong body of mounted police . The van was driven to the Pigeon-house , where the Trident war-steamer , which had come from Kingtown , was in waiting , with her steam up , ready to proceed back to Kingstown . Two boats brought the prisoners ori board the Trident , in ono of which were seated Mr . O'Brien and Mr . Meagher , in tbe

      other Mr . M'Manus and Mr . O'Donohoc . In a few minutes the Trident left for Kingstown , and the prisoners were given over to tho charge of the commander ofthe Swift , for transportation to "Van Diemen's Land . The proceedings were conducted with such secresyand despatch that but . few persons were present , and no public commotion took place . The Trident reached Kingstown shortly after twelve o ' clock , and at five minutes to three o ' clock p . m . she towed the Swift with the state prisoners on board along tho coast , and having passed Bray Head , was soon out of sight . Her crew consisted of thirty-four sailors and ton marines . The brother of Mr . WilliamS . O'Brien , his sister , and two other ladies , and the Rev . Mr . Measlier , relative off . F ,

      Meagher , were permitted on board to take leave of their relations . A number of yachts and small boats surrounded the bri g , which Jay outside the harbour , a good deal of interest having been feltby those who were in them to see the prisoners depart . In twenty minutes after the vessef had sailed , ladies and gentlemen promenaded the jetty as quietly , and apparently as little concerned , as if no occurrence of a particular character had taken place . " The following details as to - tho demeanour of the state prisoners appear inthe Freeman ' s Journal : " Shortly before eleven o clock the prison-van was driven into the yard , escorted by a dozen mounted and twenty foot police , under the command of Inspector Stokes . By that time the prisoners

      wero ready to depart , but the formal order for their removal had not arrived . In the meantime the prisoners walked about tho yard conversing with their friends , and were apparently the most unconcerned of all who were present .. Their thoughts were still about tho country , and the ' good old cause , ' not what their own destiny or sufferings might be . ' My last words on leaving the country ( said tho brilliant and devoted young , patriot , Thomas Francis Meagher ) shall be , Don't give up the good old cause . * At about half-past eleven o ' clock , a squadron of the Carbineers , . under the command of Captain distance and Lieutenants _Sherstott and Pliiiamove , arrived at the prison , and shortly afterwards a gentleman from the Castle , bearing the order for the

      deportation ofthe four state prisoners . The van was then driven up to the door , and the governor called out the names , of William Smith O'Brien , Thomas _Francis Meagher , Terence Bollew M'Manus , and Patrick O'Donohoe from the order , and requested them to take their places in the vehicle . Mr . O'Brien bad previously expressed to Inspector Stokes a hope that no detectives would be placed in the van with himself and the fellow-prisoners , to whicli tho inspector replied that there should not . The last moment previous to departure having arrived , the prisoners were . once more surrounded by their friends—many of them ladies—of whom they took a tender and affectionate farewell . Air . O'Brien ' s lady , his sister , and tho'Rev . Mv . O'Brien

      , his brother , were with him from au early hour in the morning . The Rev . Mr . Meagher , S . J ., uncle to Mi-. T . F . Meagher , and several female relations , were present ; as were the wife , sister , and other relatives of Mr . O'Donohoe , and several ladies and others , r elations of Mr . M'Manus . We shall not attempt to describe the most painful scene that presented itself at this moment , The friends ofthe convicts , ' as the law calls them , betrayed the most intense grief ; but their own demeanour was marked bythe manliness and fortitude that distinguished them all through , and oven at a time when their enemies menaced them with the ' traitor ' s doom . ' Having . taken an affectionate leave of their friends , and cordially . shaken hands with several gentlemen who

      were present , and with the governor , the deputy-governor , and other officers ot * the prison , they entered the van , accompanied by Inspector Hovenden and Mr . Lamb ,. the governor of Smithfield prison . On taking his place inthe van , Mr . Meagher said in a firm tone , ' I feel a prouder man leaving the country even thus ,, than many who remain in it . ' 'And so do I , ' responded Mr . O'Donohoe . The other gentlemen made no observation ; but no man who saw them could doubt that , if it had been their fate , they woiild say ' * dulce estpropatria mori' with as much fortitude arid resignation as they now bid farewell to their' friends and native land . They were dressed as _usual—rcertainly not with loss care , and Mr . Meagher had in his hand ' . Ossian ' s Poems , ' as . ; he i said , __ 'to remind him of the old country , of which he still did

      not despair . ' All being ready , at a , quarter to twelve o ' clock the order for departure was- ' given , and the van was driven off , preceded by the mounted police and a portion of the Cavhineors .: The remainder of the latter rode beside and followed it , all carrying loaded carbines in their hands * except the rear : guard , who carried their swords drawn , ' . . Tho .

Wc understand that she was the sister of Mr . M'Manus , vho thus , - with tvuo feminine _devotedness * and affeetibn , strove successfully to accompany her brother to the very moment of his departure from the shores of his native soil .

      of the steamer having been lowered the state prisoners were immediately placed in them , and tonveyed on board the Swift . At this moment a lar *; _- _* _- number of persons had assembled . on the point if the eastern pier , anxious to catch a last sight of tht exiled patriots . A number of boats , containing friends of the prisoners , put out from the harbour , and bore up to thc Swift where they Jay until she o _* ot under weigh , eager to catch even a glimpse of the - devoted' men on board . The only friends of the prisoners permitted to be on board the Swiffwere the Rev . Henry O'Brien ( brothci * te Mr . Smith O'Brien ) , his lady , Miss O'Brien , that gentleman ' s sister , and the Rev . Mr . Meagher , uncle to Mr . Thomas 1 ? . _Measrher . The preparations for

      departure on board the Swift occupied a considerable time , during which tho boats remained as close to her as possible , and the crowds also remained on tlie pier , all desirous of obtaining a parting view of the prisoners . None of them appeared on deck , however , but Mr . M'Manus , who remained there while the vessel lay at her moorings , and was occasionally able to exchange , some words with hia friends in tho boats . At ten minutes before three o ' clock the Rev . Mr . Meagher , tho Rev . Mr . O Brien , and the ladies who accompanied them , left the vessel , and in five minutes after ( cables having been attached to the Swift from the steamer ) thc paddles ofthe steamer began to revolve , and the first motion having been communicated to the

      Swift the exiles commenced their voyage to that distant land where tliey arc doomed to expiate the offence of having loved their country ' not wisely but too well . ' "Wo understand that the accommodation prepared for the . prisoners on board the Swift is very good ; that they have a common room , fourteen fcet square , and comfortable separate berths . " Ribanoisu ix Armagh . —Two northern papers which reached this morning bring accounts of a riband gathering in the county of Armagh . The following is the version furnished by the Armag h Guardian : — "Afew days ago Ilr . Thomas Armstrong , inspector of police at Ncwtownhamilton , received information that an assemblage of ribnn ' dmqn was to take place in the neighbourhood of Keady .

      Mr . Armstrong , acting on his information repaired to the townland of Carrickabolie , __ in the parish of Dcrrynoose , * in this county , adjoining the county of Monaghan , and soon discovered the intelligence to he correct , as on every bill for miles around were to be seen torches and bonfires . 'This officer and h ' s p arty approached one of the bonfires , and were immediately opposed by a large party of upwards of 600 men , all well armed with pikes , guns , swords , and bayonets on poles . The instant the police approached they were desired to leave the ground , or their lives would be taken , and the most violent imprecations were applied to them . Notwithstanding , Mr . Armstrong refused to retreat , and gave

      orders to his small party to prepare for battle , directing all persons unarmed to retire at once , as he was determined to keep his ground so long as a single policeman remained . This gallant party remained in a most perilous situation from tho evening until daylight appeared , expecting every moment tobe attacked ; and during the night several shots were fired , to the terror of the few Protestants in the neighbourhood , who , in all probability , would have been injured had it not been for tlie spirited conduct of Mr . Armstrong and his party , who at the risk of their lives remained in view , and watched the movements ofthe rebels , There were at least 400 pikes amongst the party , ofthe most approved form , and in excellent order .

His services in drawing up the bill were adverted to in flattering terms by Sir John Romilly . Sir Edward Sugden will receive a salary of £ 8 , 000 per
