      On Monday night this town and neighbourhood were visited hy one of the heaviest thunder Btomw , accompanied with mid fhahes of lightning , that have been experienced hera for a considerable period . The thunderpeals were succeeded by violenisuoireM of rain , which , we fear , hava done much damage to the uneat grain .

      THE STATS IRI 1 LS . Sift . 9 —Oa Thursday thesnmmonsea were served On the grand juror * of the South Riding of Tipperaty . ordering their atteadanca in Cloumel on the 21 st instant , utdera penalty of £ 160 each in lha event of failure . The High Sheriff of { he county of Dublin , and the Bardof Superintendence , visited Mr Smith O'Brien and Mr Meagher yesterday , in Kilmainham gaol . F « the first time since their imprisonment , leave , I acdarstand , has been given to both gentlemen to have free access to newspapers , and whatever books they may choose to call for , pending their trans-Btnion to the south to take their trials . Notwithstanding all the 'authorised ' reports to tbe contrary , He Meagter has aot up to this jay had any conkoUation either with oonnsel or agent , nor has he made the slightest preparation for the conduct of his defence .

      The subjoined statement appears in the Meecansee Abtsrtisib of last night : — 8 ome of the superintendents and other psrsoas emfl gjed by the mining company in the Slieveadega coliieties , have been for some daja in Bablin , having been ¦ BBXmoned by tha Crown , with a view of irteatifjisg sutfe of the parsons in custody as took pait in tha outbreak in that district . In regard to Messrs Smith O'Brien and MTfcraus there could be no difficulty , but Mr Mesgber was sot identified by any ot the parties , end the prisons , tton U that he took ao part In the insurrectionary proaeedisgs in that quarter . According to the accounts that bate reached us , M'Manus is accused of taking a moBt Stoaineat part irom beginning to end . I t is alleged that he beaded the party who attacked the police bar * rteka at Mallinahone . Mr Smith O'Brien , it is said , opposed this proj-xt , raeommending that the insurgents

      abooldac : upon the defensive—that they should wait to *» attacks ! , and , in themeanttme , strengthea their poslttom by the erection of barricades . Bnt M'Manus prevailed upon the crowd to proceed with him to tha police barrack , whither also Mr O'Brien followed , and was ena £ b& to prevent any act of violence . Be summoned tha tew psUcemen in the barrack to surrender , and gave tbsra some time far consideration ; but meantime they fefl the barrack and made their way to tha head quartet of the constabulary . At the colliery Mr O'Brien required twa horses fjr his scouts , which the superinten . tat , Mr Cullen , refused to gwe , oh the ground that he was merely the sersantof the campiny , and Mr O'Brien at ones admitted the justice of tbe objection . We have tend that the impre ? sion made upon Mr Callen by the whole bsarlng of Mr Smith O'Brien was , that his mind ¦ was affjeted , and Hr Callen at tbe time mentioned this a its impression iu a letter which he had occasion to

      A letter from Ball ybay , in the ' Bnstsx Nkws-* mikh , states : — That on the night of Monday list , a v = ry strict search wu made in that towa for Mr Thomas Divln E ' . illy , who Mm 8 upp » = ei to be swreted in the neighbourhood . ' The ¦ atxch was condaeted under the superintendence of Captain Plunks ^ R . M ., of Bill ybay , and the local con-•« ralary . The housa of Mr RelUy ' g Be » r relatwe , the Ber . Ttomaa Tiaroey , parish priest of Olontribet , was arronly examined . We are also informed by our correspondent , that a timultaaeous « earca was made in aateral places throughout the country , but without tfivet . FUBSTJII OF MB DOHEHT . The CtoamL Chsohiclk says - . —

      During the last week or ten days there hare been some expeditions , within a few miles of this town , insearab of Doheny . We heard of one In the neighbourhood of BaBhwmult , where it was supposed he was concealed to a wo » d . The party in pursuit started some mas rttaUynrt a peasant , ttoajh dressed at sues ; Hewai mediately hailed and commanded to staad at bU ptrfl , Bui suoceedsd iatffacdng Mi escape by a plunge 6 t fo a thick part of the plantation , being considerably fa dnnca of hia pursuera . If Doheny is not in Dablin Gastia , we think he is in this vicinity still . It is nportei that Dohtny held a moonlight meeting , a few « gh » ago , oa a mountain within four or five miles of 6 nriek . on . Suir . The general belief isthat he is still

      , to this neighbourhood . Since pinning the precedine a ¥ oat Doheny , we recetad the subjoined Information tarn a source on whieh we can plaos the greatest leliawe : — ' The other day Daheny was very nearly pinned faDrnvjarvan .

      AKOTHER ARREST . A Mr Patrick Dunne , a farmer of Tipperary , has been arrest d under the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act .

      A 8 IQS OF UTTER DSSTITOIION . In the county of Kerry the value of the agricultural property and labour has eo diminished nnder the harden of ftM ) r rate , grand jury cess , and the depreciation of land rental , that several priest * lately signiGed to Bishop Egan their absolute inability to maintain their cacerdotal rtation with ordinary dacenov , mu"h less with cemfort , such is the destitution of their flicks , and that they prefer going as carafes in the larger and comparatively affluent parishes ot the county . a soldier ' s life .

      The soldiers that have been passing throngh Clenmel for a few days past , from their camp quarters at Tartulla , have the app > arance oi men who are worn oat by unusual hardships . Some of them declare taat they would prefer any foreign service in which they could be engaged , to the harassing duty which they sustained in the camps throughout the south of Iceland . For many weeks they were required to be ready at a moment ' s notice , and their tents afforded them a very indifferent protectinn to the severity of the wet season which they experienced . There is £ 3 , 000 poor rate uncollecled in Ennia

      union . The sentence on the soldier of the Athlone garrison found t'uilty of having cursed the Queen and cheered for Repeal , is seven year * ' transportation—a warning to red-coated sympathisers . The guards of the mail coaches robbed , afc Abbeyfeale have , after a consideration of the circumstances by the authorities , been restored . After ttating that a grazier who oould manage many thousand acres of land in aheap p Btures and bullock farms with the aid perhaps of not half a dtzen men , the remaining peasant papujatura burroain ? in the bogs , has resolved upon breaking op his establishment , the writer adds : —In other places ' exoermieation , ' as it is

      termed—evictionsseem to have become even a mania . I have heard myself the names ot landlords in the west of Ireland who would now permit the occupation of farms , whence tbe late tenants have been evicted , by any parties who wonld be able to till the soil and pay the poar rate . They have themselves no capital , and without it they cannot cultivate themselves their own hrids which lie idle . How they hope to work en I cannot imagine . Possibly they cape the paupers will die off ; more probably that government will undertake tbe employment , or maintenance , or transflsntation of the proportion they regard as redundant . In tbe union of Kilrush . where we have

      official knowledge that one thousand houses have been thrown down , I find it stated to-day , in a Limerick paoer , that one gentleman will have to pay this year smn thousand pounds , ia poor ntes . I should be curious to know how much this gentleman expends in labour . And the people do not manifest any indisposition to labour , bat the contrary . By and by accu-tamed to pauperism and the workhouae , it will probably be difficult to withdraw the able-bodied from th'workhease and its drowsy inaotivity . At present , in many parts ef Clare , asd eves adjacent to theoity of Limerick , the able-bodied labourers engage with the farmers for their board without wages . Some set twopence per day for tobacco . '

      On Friday a deputation of noblemen and gentlemen connected with Galway waited en Lord John Russell , by appointment , at the Viceregal-lodge , to represent to his lordship the miserable condition of the people of that country and the destitution which the loss of the potato crop will necessarily entail—his lordship expressed his regret that , the exchequer being very low , he could not hold oat any hope that the negotiation for a loan from the government oould be at present entertained , as he , without the sanction of parliament , could do nothing of himself . The deputation returned thanks for the attention with which he had received them , and withdrew . The state prisoners on trial ai the commission will probably be transmitted to the south before the close of the ensuing week . ( Abridged from the Horning Post . )

      Mr Duff ; is to be put upon bis trial , net with the other accused parties in Clonmel , bnt before the next commission in the county ef Dublin . T . M Rivers , Esq ., of Tybranghny Castle , county of Kilkenny , for whose arrest on a charge of high treason a warrant had been issHed shortly after the fiffdr of Ballingarry , ia said to have arrived in France . Yesterday , at twelve o ' clock , about two hundred prisoners ( all male ) were removed from Eilmainbam aad Smithfiald prisons . The convicts had been collected from different parts of tha country JorBome time past . They were taken from the prisons to the North wall in covered cars , guarded by dragoons . Oa arriving at the lighthouse point , they were put on board one of the river steamers , and sent to Kings ' town , where they were shipped on board the Pestonjee Bomanjee , which will sail for New South Wales in a few days .

      USES ONJtmORS . We ( Riscqhuok Journal ) are concerned to find that the sheriff of this county has received from the Exchequer authority to enforce the several fines ( £ 50 each ) imposed on urn-attending jurors at the last assizes ot Roscommon . Many persons have already paid the penalty , and within the last week three respect * able characters were lodged in Bail , who , at the no * ment . were unable to meet the demand .

      ( From the Times , ) THS WZATHEB ASD THE CB 0 F 3 . The rain has ceased since Sunday afternoon , bnt the temperature of the atmosphere continues low . The accounts as to the potato are most conflicting , but the prevalent opinion tertainlj is that the crop will be more than half unprofitable . The : EmusnisH Chrohicle says : — Tbe accounts from all quarters of this county are most conflicting as to the probable jleld of tha potato asa grain crops ; but judging from the sapply of the former which are offered for sale in our market , we are strongly of opinion that they are infected with the diseise to a great extent- Scarcely any really sound potatoes are obtainable at any price here . Tbe grain orops promise well , although they will not yield aa average produce . If thu weather shenld continue fiae , it is to be heped the deficiency in the harvest crops may not turn out so extensive as it was at first prognosticated .

      A gentleman , whose name does not appear , having volunteered by letter to conduct Lord George Bentinck through some of the moat ruinous and intricate parts of Dublin , his lordship sent the following reply , which appears in the Fbbbhas ' s Jodbnai , of Saturday morning : — Harcourt-house , Sept . S . Si * , —I ' , is all the invention of some imaginative brain tha : I have any intention of visiting Ireland . I bave no power to help her ; I oan ba therefore of no good to her by going there to see the destitution and nakedness of the land . If I were to go to Ireland I should not be atave seeking Information from a Repealer , or ef a parsonal inspection of tha ' Liberty of Dublin . ' The religion or politics ef a witness are nothing tome ; his matter of fset infor m * , tion andtruthfulBess is all I oonsidsr .

      I am not a Repealer , though I probably nay enter , tain a very different opinion from you which country wotld be tbe gainer and which the loser by a repeal ef tbe union . It was roi so much throngh the hostility of tbe English members as through the desertloa and hostility of ths Irish members ( many of them IUp-. ale . rs ) that in February , 1847 , Ireland lost the oppwtunlty of obtain-Ing a loan of £ 18 , 900 , 600 of English gold , at & n , a per cent , to stimulate the canstiuotloa , by private estkri prite , of railways ia your country . Unanimous ia Palace-yard on « ne Tueiday in favour of the propositions I then brought forward , on the Thursday se ' nnlght tbe same sixty gentlemen hating seen the Prime Minister at the Poreign-office In the interval voted two to one in tha House of Commons against giving railways to Ireland .

      Out of M 5 . representatlves wbieh Ireland pewttses , twenty eight onl y , if my memory serfes me correotly , would vote for that loan to Ireland . Two-thlrds of the Irish rep « S 3 nUtWes present declined the measure—the rest took care to bo twn ert iwenCuf at the dMskm , whlih wat the hour of Ireland ' s n « a . Resd , mark , learn , and inwardly digest the aitblon list ; and you will find there were many moretnwtirlanJs of Ireland on that occasion , among tha supporters of the union than among the Repealers . Is it turpri 6 lng that , when Irish repnentatWe * voted two to one against tbe asceptsnoe of that measure , and when but twcnty . elgbt out of Ireland ' s 105 oould alone ba found to say 'Aye , ' a majsrity of Eng lishmen could

      aad that a polite ferltttlon for that purpose was con . veyed to him in the afternoon of Sunday lost , bearing tbe signature of Uessrs Pedder and Carmlchael , clerks ef tbe Grown for the oeanty of Tipperary—or , to eiprasa our . selves with lets ambiguity , we may ( Imply state that Lord John Rusiell , almoBt the moment previous to his departure from our shores , was banded a Crows sum . mom requiring him to attend and give crldence at the ensuing special commission in doninel , on the part of Hr W . S , O'Brien . The delivery of this document , as we oan oollect , was not effected without some difficulty . Several applications were made in theeouroe ef Saturday for an interview with Mr R . W . Grey , the Pr-mier ' s Secretary , with tbe view of makta ? bis lordship ae . qaainted with the objeot of Mr O'Brien ' s solicitor ( Mr

      Potter ) , but In vain ; and It was only aft « r the o » rrlage was packed , and the noble lord ' s family awaiting him to step into it , that he oould ( pare a moment for an Inter , view with Mr Potter . It took place in tbe drawing-room of the Viceregal Indge , and after a brief introduction Lord John was banded tbe legal document in due form , which he read ever carefully . Mr Potter then ebrerved , tbat in order to comply with the requisite form sillies of law it was bis du'y to tender his lordshi p a viaticum , accom . panying the summons which required bis attundanco , at the same time banding him ten sovereigns . Lird John Russell has declined ts receive the money ; obsr-rvlag , tbat though such might bo the fo'tn of law , Mr Potter might consider the service of thesomnms complete with .

      out his acceptance of the vialicum His lordship then remarked that be was going to Scotland by a special order to wait upon her Majesty , and he did not know for what purpose his . attendance could bo required at the trial . Mr Pjtter stated , tbat the legal advisers of Mr Smith O'Brim considered his lordship ' s attendance and evidence absolutely requisite . The Premier then requested that If it should still be deimi'd neooBsary to examine him as a witness , be should receive intimation to that effect as early as possible , in ordor to enable him te make arracgements for attending the trial at Clonmol . Mr Potter repeated that he had reason to believe his lordBhlp ' s evidence would be indispensable on tho trial , and then withdrew , after which Lord John Russell stepped into his carriage aad drove off to Kingstown ,

      ( From the -Sun . ) It is supposed that the object of the aoouged is to obtain from his lordship a distinct enunciation _ of opinion respecting the extent ef prosecution which would justify armed resistance to authority , and perhaps also ascertain how far his lordship ' s prac ire as a statesman agrees with his thonriea as a historian . In his lordship ' s Life of Lord William Russell , doctriaes are broached and promulgated whiou would go te show tbat obedience to bad laws was a crime , and resistance eventogood laws badly administered , a duty .

      STATE OF IRELAND . ( From the Morning Chronicle ) The priesta are loyal , exactly in the same seme as the mass of the peasantry are loyal—that is , they abstain from acts of open disloyalty , because the country is filled with bayonets and cannon , and they have no wish to knock their head against them in a hopeless-fight ; bat let a chance be given to themlet a Frenoh expedition land at Bantry Bay , or let ( ha ' army ofoooupatinn' be called away on foreign service , and a very different tale will be told at the Munster altars—a very different countenance will be shown by the peasantry , ay , and by the middle classes , both in the country and in the towns .

      One fact is worth a thousand inference * . In the city of Limerick there u a population of 60 , 000 , aad of these there were found bat three hundred who would . offer the > r services to the local authorities , and whom the latter considered fit to be trusted with arms , in the event of an insurrection . In Kilkenny matters were even worse , for out of a population nearly half as large as that of Limerick , it was catstriated that there would be but twenty five aotively loyal-in Waterford , between three and four hundred—and soon . In short , throughout the entire south and west of Ireland , the higher gentry stand alone among a population eager for their deatruotion , and as universally and radically hostile to the

      government which restrains them as the Spaniards were to that of Joseph Buonaparte , or , to use a more apt illustration , as the Communists of the ' Rue Saint Jacques , ' are to that of the Frenoh Dictator . ( From the correspondent of the Southern Reporter . ) I have paid a visit to Messrs O'Brien and Meagher in Eilmainhsm , and have the satisfaction to acquaint you that they enjoy excellent health . [ and are in very good spirits , considering the anxiety necessarily attendant on the circumstances of their position . I am enabled to state that one of the first witnesses who will be examined for the defence on behalf of Mr O'Brien will be no other than—Lord John Russell .

      IMPORTANT FROM IHK COUNT ! TIPPBBART . — BUH 0 TJR 8 OF AN OTJTBBBAK . We stated in our last publication that from the information whtoh we bad recaived through several authentic ohannelifrom Carrick and It * neighbourhood , another appeal to arms on the part of the defeated insurgents ef Ballingarry might be Immediately expeoted . Rtporcs received as we are going to press folly prove the correetness of oar anticipations , On Friday last , in consequence of a rumour being afloat that a blaok night' or general rising and massacre was to take place , the troops in Carriok and Piltown , consisting of the greater portion of the 3 rd Bafh , arid a company of the 83 rd , tegether with the constabulary of tbe dlsttiot , were placed under arms and were kept in readiness for action till tbe

      following morning . However , the night passed over wiih . mt aay alarm , and the entire rumour was treated as an Idle report . This state of things lasted till Monday evening , when a report was received from the Slate Q larry Pollcv Station ( county ef Kilkenny ) that a camp bad been formed on tbe portion of the SUevenamen range of bills neighbouring tbat district , and that beacon fires were everywhere ghaming on the heights . The military and constabulary were Immediately placed under arms , and were In expectation of an attack on Carrick or the Besborough encampment during tbe entire nlgbt ana yesterday morning . When our Informant—a trastworthy gentleman Intimately connected with some of the local authorities—left Piltown , they were still In readiness , and reports cerroboratiug the first intelligence as to the

      rebel encampment were pouring in from all the iur . rounding police stations . It was generally stated that the Intention of the insurgents was to break down tbe bridges on the main roads leading towards the soene of action , in order to Impede tbe advance of troops , . This rumour is supported by the statement of a car driver , who arrived in this city from Waterford , at about three o ' clock p . m . yesterday , and who asserts that the battle ments had been removed from Granny Bridge , near the latter elty , and as unsuccessful attempt made to throw down the aroh on Monday night by tbe peasantry . Tbe same man states that a large concourse of people had assembled at Ballybale , in this county , for the purpose , he believed , of jsining the Insurgent oamp at Sllevenamon .

      Linn wmueiHCE . Information has just been received here that vans orswds of tee peasantry are throwing to the rebel camp , from every direction . No attempt has been yet made by the military to dislodge the insurgents , but a portion of the 8 rd Buffs is stated to have advanced from Piltown and Cregg , which lies nsar the rebel position . Several persons travelling taOarriok are said te bave been slopped end made prisoners by the insurgents , who have been amusing themselves all day firing shots in the oamp . A mounted policeman has just arrived with dls > patohei to the authorities here—the contents , of course , have not yet transpire * . The Limeeick Rkfobteb thus allude * to the rumoured rebellion : —

      BRUTAL OUTRAGE . On the night of the 8 ; h inBt ., some evil-dipposed persons maliciously killed with a sharp instrument a mare and foal , the property of a farmer named John Doley , of Ruehmore ! a horse the property of Denis Dua ne of same place ; ahorse , the property of Thomas Neale . of Cappa , and a mare , the . property of James Harkitt , of Kilgurtin . The imposed cause of this atrocious outrage is , that those horses had been ploughing land belonging to Robert ColeJBrown . Esq . from which persons of the name of James Meara and . Donoghue , bad been dispossessed some time ago . ; Thus , by a me vindiotive persons , have the abaye farmers been deprived of their horses at a sea « son of the year when they most required them .

Doblin , Wednesday Morning , —As the Cork mail was on its way to Dublin , it was met by a party of ihepeople , who told the . coacb . man and guard toretarn , aa there was a collision between the police and the people at the Glenbower police-station ; On arrival a man was' found lying dead in the road ; the police were still safe , but expected a renewed at taok . The coachman hurried on to Callan , where he delivered a note from the police asking for assistance . The mailooaoh did not meet with any obstacle on thopart of the peasantry , who are in a high state of exoitemant , inconsequence of ejectments in the neighbourhood and seizures of corn for rent .

      The Waterford mail , whioh left Dublin yesterday ( Taesday ) morning , was stopped near Graany-bridge by a large party of men , who in the first instance would not allow the ooach to pass , as they were about to pud down the bridge . After some remonstrance they permited it to be drawn across . On arrival at Waterford , the guard reported the circumstance to the postmaster and to Sir 0 . O'Doanell , the General of the district .

      ( Frm ¦ •«•* own Correspondent . ) . . Dub ' lm , 11 th September . ^ The news I have to communicate to . day is neither voluminous ner important . We are at a' dead-lock ' for something to talk about in Dablin this week . Lord John RusbbII and his movements kept our tongues going and our , sides craoking , laat week , bat now—more ' s the pity—we have not a word in our cheeks . It was expected that Lord . George Bentinok was coming over to emulate the glories of Lord John ' s Irish tour , but if appears we may hang eur harps on the banks ' of the Liffey , and weep over our blighted expectations . The London correspondent of the Fbbbm&h ' b Jodbhal was the person who set this blast blowing , and did so without tub shadow of authority , as Lord George himself has taken op pen

      and ink , and indignantly repudiates ever having any notion of coming amongst us . That wiseacre of the Fbbeman gives us very laughable opinions aB to the cause of Lord George refusing to do' what bis lordship swears he never had a notion of doing . He tells us that he is not certain { I ) Whether his lordship declmed coming in compliance with tho wishes of the government , who'feared if he were to show himself in ' The Green isle , ' the light whioh Russell was shedding ( here would be utterly eclipsed ;; or whether he feared the flng lie made at poor Mitehel ia Parliament might be revenged by some of that unfortunate gentleman ' s Iriends in Ireland ! This iellow who ' does ' the Fbbbman in London , deserved a 'lift !' He takes bo maey ' rises' out of the gul ' s over here , that it is certainly a pity he should go unrequited . 1 hope his emplojets will' see about it . '

      Lord John is gone from . as ! Nobody still knows what brought him , unless indeed it was that , like the late Daniel O'Connell , he fanoied he would get' fat by abuse , ' and that he wished to have personal proof of the' ballyragging' powers of the Jackeenery of Dublin . Never was a man so unfortunate in a visit . Whenever he showed his laughter provoking phiz , he was theonpitied object of contempt , ridicule , and the most unmitigated personal abuse , The very chimney-sweeps in the streets held up their sooty fingers in scorn at the Premier , and the miserable tag-rag , offering his box of oongreves for a farthing , looked ae if he would not exohange his situation for that of'Finality Jack . '

      a Never was man bo despised , so scoraed , and yet so littlenoticed . He carries home with him neither curse bop bleatuBE , but he will long be remembered in Dublin witp feelings something akin to those With which the weil . feu hulking English labourer regards the dwarfish , atarved-looking emigrant reaper from the wilds of Galway or Mayo . He leaves behind a / nameawociated witk every thing that is-contemptible in person ; mean in manner , and , trickisb , . imbecile ,, and spiteful "in public' oanduot . '' Suoh have" been ' the fruits ( as yet ripened ) of Lord John ' s great visit to Ireland in 1848 . ; _ . "' '¦ ' '' v ; ' - "' ., There is very little news of importance from the interior of Ireland ; ; The weather is fine and sunny , the harvest is being scoured quickly , and every kind of crop is said to be 'turning out' far better than was expeoted . r The . potatoes , however , will be a failure : let people say what they will .

      Thereare . Btrahge reports in Dablin on this day in connexion with the South of Ireland and the rebels . It is sajd that . there : is , unmisUkeable symptoms of an approaching outbreak—thstthe peasantry hold reviews by moonlight every other night—that , pikes are being manufactured—and ' . that various ' wooas ' and groves in the neighbourhoed of Sl ^ everiamon and Oarriok are being throned of trees to ' make pikepoles . They say there isa mysterious , dodged deferminationatnongst all the people in the counties of Eijkenny , Limeriok , and Tipperary ; tbat they are keeping up qonataut joorreipondenoe , with o ^ her . parts of Irelandt and that , early in ^ otober , a general massacre of . the troop ' s and loyalists , all over Munster , ia in contemplation . Government , too , have received information on these ' matter * , and , it ii said , will keep npj the present military force daring t ^ e winter , thoagh a few days ago it was their determination to

      withdraw Beveiftl regime&U from different looalitits .

My opinion is , if . England dees not show a disposition todojuatiee / theMuMter peaeantry will . Mtbthna m \ miet .

      MIDDLESEX SESSIONS . At the sitting of these sessions on Taesday , an anplication was made on beha'f of Mr Woolier . Some of our readers may recollect that Mr Wooller took an active part ia the political agitation some years ago , and made himself famous by his publication . Thb Buck Dwarf . Mr Prehdbroast said , he was about to make a somewhat extraordinary application , and it was one , too , whiob very much affected a gentleman af the name of Wool i er , who in years gone by occupied a very celebrated ; position before the public Mr Wooller , however , was not the Bame as he had been in the dayB to whioh he referred ; for the truth was that the infirmities with which that gentleman had * long been visited had rendered him quite a different man . Howtver , be that as it might , Mr Wooller had , in serving a client , placed himself in a difficulty

      . It appeared that a person whom Mr Wooller was instructed to defend had been convietert by the magistrates at the police court of some offunce arising out of transactions in rcspeot of a watch , and thinking , as well as his client , that the latter had a good defence , he had given notice of an appeal against the convicHon at the last sessions . The defendant , however , it would seem , hid only one surety to offer at that time , therefore , on his application , " r Wooller consented to become the second snret y . The necessary sureties were thus given to appear and prosecute the appeal . By some mistake , however , the appeal was not entered , whereupon the recngnnances were estreated , and in pursuance of that estreat the Sheriff had taken Mr Wooller ia exeoution , and that gentleman had been in priaon some days . As the matter now came before the Court , the queUion was , whether the renn [ rr . i « i , nn « i

      id theoase of Mr Wooller were te be enforced or not . fne learned Judge said , that he abould be sittinn for several days , and if Mr Wooller would on any one of those days deliver od his client , Morrison , or oauBO the payment of the £ 6 10 a ., or the surrender of the watch , the Conrt would then have no difficulty in directing the release of that gentleman . As soon aa Morrison waa in custody , » hen there would be no difficulty in the case . Leh Morrison come in and surrender , or let Mr Wooller produce him ; and then * when the principal was in limbo , the Court would at enre proceed to the assistance of Mr Wonller . Mr Prbhdkroast was inclined to think that the results pointed put were not the most seductive , nor were they , in his opinion , sufficiently so as to induoe a man to come into court personally .

      The learned JrjDOE said , that either the watch , or the £ 6 lOi ., or the person of the olient Morrison . Bust be forthcoming before the Court could interfere Two diminutive lads , named Thoman Wallace , and ' Georse Herbert , each sixteen years of a ^ e , were SltVright ahni 6 lib 8 - baoon ' thepropw * X . f ,. pri 80 " i , flerbert W 8 » convicted ia the name of William Kelly , at these sessions , in August , 1846 , and being proved to bs the constant associate of thieves , and a convicted thief himself-the court sentenced him to be transported for seven years . The

      : A 9 Bistant-Judge observed , tbat this was one of those oases-w ith whioh the prison inspectors had interfered , being totally ignorant of the character of the boy , * ho was very bad indeed . That court had received full information about the prisoner , and the Bentenca the court pronounced was ^ Btiraated accord , rogl y . but theoourt had added to tbat sentence * recommendation that the Jad . ahould be admitted into the establishment for young convicts at Park . bur * t . Instead , however , of sending the prisoner out of the oountry , or attending to the recommendsturn , the inspectors had him removed to tbe prison at Millbank , from which he was liberated last An * gusk Now . this boy wa « , it appeared from information in possession of the conrt , one of a eang of thieves , notorious in the neighbourhood of

      Drurvlane , ana was besides about the worst conducted boy ever sent to prison . When he was santenced bsfore he had been previously convijted , yethU aentenoe nad been commuted , the effeotof the recommendation of this court . If such recommendations were tp . be treated in that manner , they need not be made at all , and he should make no more . The prisoner , however , could not be permitted to retrain in this country , and it was to be hoped that this time he would be sent away . The other prigoner , Wallace , had been before convicted , and he had but just come out of prison . The sentence was that they eaoh be transported for seven years .
