for tbe religion that yon adorn and glorify . And ia it not oeet for the beads and piliars of the church to denounce tyranny and oppression ? St . Ambrose denounced the petty princes of bis day ; other illustrious divines in former ages have stood between the people and the tyrants who would crush them in the dust . In our day also tbe people have had advocates and friends—they have the noble and revered iierarcby of Ireland . And yon , the illustrious John of Town—you , whose eloquence and immortal name have made tyrants tremble and _ bigots and fanatics

admiration . Murder is Lehbim . —A coroner ' s inquest was beld on the remains of a poor eirl named Mary Reynolds , who earned her bread b y going about the country bavins and selling eggs . She was miBsing since tbe 27 th of May . and tbe bod y was discovered on the 30 th nit . lying in a ditch , being so much destroyed by dogs that the body could only be rec-gnised by the clothes , some of which are missing , and also a basket in which she need to carry about her eggs . There was a rope found round her w « ist . by which it is supposed the body wascuried to the place
where found . The inquest was held by James Moreton , Esq .. coroner , and a post mortem examination made by Thomas M . Nasb , E * q ., M . D . Francis N . Cullen , Esq ., J . P ., was also in attendance , with H . Trimble , Esq ., J . P .. and some of the constabulary . The jury , after a long inquiry , came to the conclusion that a murder had been committed , bat could give no due to implicate any person , as there can be no cause assigned for the deed , unless to rob her of whatever little mon-y she may have had abou' her . The inquest was held in the tornland of Corry , barony of Dromabair and co . Leitrim .
More Extersmkatiov . —The limerick Examiner mentions the following recent occurrences in the campaign of tenant extermination : — " Mr . Lowe , of Spring House , has recently levelled several bouses at Nacordan , and sent the inmates adrift on the world . A to * nland near Ballagh has been all bat deso ' ated . Several bouses have also been demolished on the Herbertstown property , while around the town of Tipperary , in several directions , tbe crowbar and pickaxe are in full operation . Hundreds are flying away from Tipperary , Killenaule , Ballingary , Urlingford , and
other p laces , to the land of freedom . To complete the difficulties of tbe country the wheat crop is damaged , and will not bB an average crop . On tbe 27 th nit . nine families were ejected at Ballyneety , frem their holdings on the property of Miss Brigcoe . A gentleman from Limerick , who witnessed the operations of the sheriff ' s bailiffs and their brigade of levellers , describes the scene as a most affecting and afflicting oae , and little in accordance with what would be expected from one of the so called Gentlemen . _ The number of individuals unhon-ed on the occasion reached over forty , and it is said the majority had last September rente paid in fall .
Tbe Tuaaa Heral d , supplies the fallowing : — "A few days since the inhabitants of the vilhse of Cams , county Mayo , numbering , we understand , upwards of thirty families , were dispossessed , and ( heir h uses razed to the ground . The property is that of the Nolans , minors ; and we believe the proceedings were instituted by order of the Court of Chancery . RfniAK Catholic Pbibsts fob California . —The fimend Chronicle says : — "Monsignor Alemani . Bishop of Francisco , has arrived from Paris in Dnblin . to engage some Irish pripsts for the mission among the British settlers in California The Bishop is a Spaniard , and was provincial of the Dominican Friars in America . "
The Sea Serpent ok the Irish Coast . —Mr . Roger Tracers , in a letter to the Cork Constitution , dated" Courtmasherry , 29 th August , " says : — "The different fishing establishments on the shores of thi 3 extensive bay , extending from the Old Head of Kinsale to the Seven Heads , have been within the last few days abundantly supplied with fish of every description , and the greatest activity prevails to profit by the bounty which has been thus sent to us literally in shoals . It has been noticed too , that some description of fish—hake for instance—have been
captured further within the limits of the inner harbour than was ever known before . In fact , as I heard it observed , the fish was literally leaping ashore . These n » vel appearances , however , it was my lot to see fully accounted for yesterday . At about one o ' clock a . m * , when sailing in my yacht , with a slight breeze off shore , about two cries to the south of the beacon on the Barrel Rocks , one of the party of four gentlemen on board ( Mr . B ., of Bandon ) drew attention towards the structure mentioned , with the intrrrogatory of " Do yon see anything queer about the Barrels ? * In an instant the attention of all on board was
rivetted on aa object which , at first struct 1 me as like the up-heaved thick end of a large mast , bat which , as it was made ont plainer , proved to be the head of some huge fish , or monster . On - bearing down towards the object we could distinctly see , with the naked eye , what I can best describe as an enormous serpent , without mane or fur , or any like appendage . The portion of the body above water- and which appeared to be rubbing or scratching itself against the beacon , was fully thirty feet long , and in diameter I should say about a fathom . With the aid of a glass it was observed that the eyes were of immense size , and about nine inches across the ball , and tbe upper part of the back appeared covered with a furrowed shelt-like substance . We were now within rifle-shot
of the animal , and , although some on board exhibited pardonable nervousness at the suggestion , it was resolved to fire a ball at the under portion of the body whenever the creature ' s unwieldy evolutions would expose its vulnerable part . The instant the piece was discharged the monster rose as if impelled by a painful impulse to a heig'h which may appear incredible—sav at least thirty fathoms , —and culminating with the most rapid motion dived or dashed itself under water with a splash that almost stopped our breaths with amazement . In a few moments all disturbance of the water subsided , and the strange -visitor evidently pursued bis course
to seaward . On . coming up to the beacon we were gratified to find adhering to tbe supports numerous connected scaly masses , such as one would think would be rubbed from a creature ' co » ting , ' or changing its « ld skin for anew one . These interesting objecte « an be seen at the Horse Rock Coast Guard station , and will repay a visit . These particulars I have narrated in tbe clearest manner I am able , and if others , in other boats , who had not so good an opportunity of seeing the enure appearance of the animal as those in my boat had , should send you a more readable account ex it . I pledge myself none will more strictly adhere to the re » l facts . "
Repeal Association . —Another , and positively the "last" threat was made « n Monday of the sunpension of business and consequent bankruptcy of the old Repeal concern on Burgbquay . It is not more than a fortnight since that Mr . John O'Connell congratulated his lieges on the safe possession of the " hall" free from all debts and encumbrances . But now , alas ! it appears that Borne person , other than himself ( Mr . O'Connetl . ) mnst hold hims » lf personally liable for the rent and taxes , amounting to JE 90 per vraumn : " and unless the country gave him Borne assurance of support within four weeks he could not , in justice to his family , take that responsibility upon himself . " The week ' s rent was £ 8 , and ninepence .
Emigration kom Ulster . —The Armagh Guar--dian states that on Friday morning upwards of fifty persons , from the county of Fermanagh , consisting of farmers and their families , all Protestants , with scarcely an exception , proceeded from that oity , by the early train , to Belfast , on their way " to the IindoftheWesL " Charge of Cokspiracyto Murder against . a Magistrate .-On Saturday last Mn Justice Perrin admitted to bail Mr .

Return of Harvest Labourers . —On Tuesday forenoon eleven hundred Irish labourers landed in Kingstown , from the City of Dublin steamer Princess , and proceeded to Dublin , on their way to yarious districts in the country , to seek emp loyment in harvest work . In consequence of the tremendous competition between the steam companies , the deck fare from Liverpool to Dublin has been reduced to sixpence . The multitude of labourers who came over seemed well satisfied with their excursion to England .

FUNBRAL OF LOUIS PHILIPPE . The mortal remains of Louis Philippe were interred on Monday , m the Roman Catholic Chapel of St . Charles Borromeo , at Weybrid ge , Surrey . A considerable number of persons left London for the purpose of attending the funeral . Many of the spectators were Frenchmen . The chapel of St . CharlerBorroffieoisasmall , unpretendingbuilding , attached to the private residence of a Roman Catholic lad y , named Taylor . At this chapel the late King a ttended every Sunday morning during the first few months after his arrival at Claremont ; u ? j having wee n expressed that his remains Should be deposited there , the owner gave her consent . The vault under the chapel was accordingly opened for tbe occasion . g S === g »
At nine o ' clock in the morning the immediate neighbourhood of Claremont was thronged , and amongst the distinguished persons who obtained access to the mansion were M . de Rumigni , Baron de Busaieres , Due de JJontmorency , Due de Quiche , Comtes Anatole and Montesquieu , Comtede Jarnac , General Dumas , General Cnabannes , Dr . Gueneau de Massy , Ac . At hali-past nine o ' clock the mass for the dead was performed in the chapel of Claremont by the Very Reverend Dr . Whitty , Roman Catholic vicargeneral , but the public were not admitted . After the mass the Queen , the Princesses , and children , and the other distinguished persons , including the various members of the ex-royal family of France , p assed round the coffin , and sprinkled it with holy water . This ceremony over , the company retired .
Tbe chapel was entirely hung with black , and at the extreme end was a raised altar , which was aleo covered with black , the tabernacle being suruiounted by a beautiful carved ivory crucifix , and at either side of the tabernacle were massive candlesticks , with large wax tapers ; in the centre of the apartment was placed the coffin containing the remains of tfie deceased king . The coffin rested upon tressels , and was surrounded by twenty-four lighted tapers , the candlesticks containing which stood upon raised steps . The large velvet pall which covered the coffin was fringed with silver , and a silver cross ran along the whole length of the pall . The following is the inscription on the coffin : — Lams Philippe fcr Hoi da Francaie . iVe a Paris , U 6 Octobre , 1773 ; mart a Claremont , Comte de Surrey , AngleUrte , le 26 Aov . % . 1859 .
After the performance of mass , the coffin was brought out supported by the Due deMontmoreney , General Gomte d'Haudelot , General Baron de iJerthois , General Comte Dumas , General Conite de Cliarbonne ^ , Comte Friant . At a spot called the White-gate , which is half-way between Claremonthouse and the outer lod ge , the coffin was put into the hearse , which was inscribed with the letters IbP ., surmounted by a crown . , The eorii ge proceeded from Claremont through Esher and Hersham to Weybridge , where it arrived at about twelve . The chief mourners were the Duke de Nemours , the Prince de Joinville , the Duke d'Aumale , and the Comte de Paris . The procession consisted of a hearse drawn by eight horsea , a
mourning coach with six horses , and eleven coaches with two horses each . Immediately after the procession left Claremont , Queen Amelie , accompanied by the Duchess de Nemours and other members of the royal family , left in two mourning coaches drawn by four , and one mourning coach drawn by two hones , for Weybridge . Upon arriving at tbe private entrance to tbe chapel tbe coffin was taken out of tbe hearse , and was borne on the shoulders often men to the chapel , followed by tbe Comte dc Paris , the Duke de Nemours , the Prince de Joinville , and the Duke d ' Aumale , followed by upwards of one hundred mourners . The chapel , a very small one , was hung with black . A small gallery was prepared for tbe reception of the Queen and the other female members of the family wbo were present at the ceremony . When the coffin had been placed on the
rests , low mass was said . The priests officiating being L'Abbe Crabot ( chaplain to the late king , ) L'Ahbg Guelle , Dr . Whitty , L'Abbe Toursel , LTasseur , L'Ahbe Nerinck y , and L'Abbe Coquereau . The coffiu was then removed into the vault beneath the chapel where a tomb had been erected bearing the following inscription : —•• Depoiitce jaeent sub hoc lapide Donee in patnam Avitos inter dnercs Deo adjuvantc transferantur Eeliquim Ludoviri Philippe Frimi Eraneorum regis Claromontii in Britannia Defuncti Die August * XXVI , Anno DominiM . D . C . C . O . L . Matis LXX 7 I . Bequiescatinpace . The whole of the arrangements were remarkable for an entire absence of ostentation . The chapel , by the consent of Miss Taylor and her bro t her , continued open for the inspection of the visitors during the greater part of the afternoon .

( From the Examiner . ) The worst of all systems of government is perhaps that of elective monarchy . An hereditary monarch , with a law he is bound to respect , and a constitution enabling him to make use of the wisdom -and experience , as well as to consult the will of his people , baa been found to answer admirably , The elected chief of a republic is a kind of executive which has not been so fully tried , but which vet has been tried with great and signal success . But an elective monarchy brought Poland to the grave ; and in France , where for nearly half a century kings have been virtually elective , and where the present Chief of the Republic is by position and pretensions , as well as by feeling , monarchic , it has produced results the reverse of satisfactory . If Louis Philippe had ascended the throne as
rightful heir of an ancient monarchy he would in ail probability have been a great and not unpopular sovereign . Ha would not then have been immersed in the petty anxieties of a famil y , nor betrayed by those household cares of over anxiety and over greediness for his children which led him into such baseness , and procured for him so much contempt . Armed with hereditary right , be would have seen the wisdom of making popular con cessions ; and surrounded by men of eminence and assured position , wbo would have compelled respect , his character would not have been marked by that mistrust and depreciation of all the politicians that served him , which made foes of every one of them in- 'turn , and which at length directed and armed against him a kind of conspiracy of the whole political world of France .
No man conld be more totally unfitted than Louis Pnilippe , however , to fulfil the promises and satisfy the expectations by which he was elevated to the throne . He was raised there in the first instance by a knot of Liberal politicians , who doubly risked their lives , hopes , and fortunes in his behalf ; first , by accomplishing the dethronement of the legitimate dynasty , and then by deceiving the people into the belief that they were installing a truly popular and liberal monarch . Whatever legerdemain may have been practised in the declarations and stipulations at the Hotel de Yille , it is undeniable that the people of Paris had then the power and the right to confirm or reject his nomination ; and that they accepted Louis Philippe on the understanding—nay , on the pledg ed and specific word—that his monarchy was to be based on popular laws , and surrounded by republican institutions . - So soon , however , did Louis Philippe show
mistrust of the men who made him king , and so immediately did he embark in a secret and general reactionary policy , that it is impossible not to consider his conduct throughout the revolution of 1830 as a piece of the most consummate hypocrisy . Whilst assenting on tbe one hand to all the popular declarations of Lafayette and Laffitte , he was sending the Duke de Mortemurt to St . Petersburgh to assure the Emperor that nothing wonld be changed , and that he would merely keep the seat warm for his more legitimate cousins . What he said to England , or what induced a Tory government so speedily to recognise him , remains a secret for the time . But we certainly are not mistaken in declaring that such a multitudinous , nefarious , and mean assortment of lies and mischiefs never issued from a Pandora ' s box , than the assurances to all people , all politicians , and all countries , by which the King of the French marked and secured his
accession . The first quality which the French had afterwards to recognise in the self-chosen King was ingratitude . A fortnight had not elapsed before Lnffitte found hin . self a Primp Minister only in name . He resi gned ; and tbe unhappy king-maker left to beggary and ruin , served merel y to point the moral ol a vaudeville . Nothing makes more impression on a people than the treatment by monarchs of their friends . His conduct in this respect was the foundation of George IV . ' s unpopularity ; and the French formed their opinion of Louis Philippe while contemp lating the fall of Laffitte . The character thus shadowed forth was afterwards filled up by the recriminations of every Minister who served
the soverei gn , from Laffitte ' s successor to the predecessor of Lamartine , CasimJr Perier , Thiers , Guizot , Mole , P a ssay , one and all , strengthened the general opinion of the UlysseBof the Tuileries , unreservedly in society , and more or leBS openly through the medium of the tribune and the press . Nor in the midst of this general outcry was there a single voice , a voice even of such a dull dependent as Montalivet , to stand up for the character of the King . It is amusing to hear the knot of politicians who spent years in thus libelling and degrading ( we say
not with injustice ) the reputation of Louis . MUIippe now expressing wonder at the burst of popular execration which dethroned him . It was they themselves who sowed the seeds of popular disaffection . Then * language it was that had hopelessly discredited the old man . The revolution of 1848 is by some of these moderate historians now attributed to the audacity of Communist sections , or to the pistol shot of Lagrange ; whereas the fact is , that the uncompromising hatred to Louis Philippe which drew the mob into his palace was but the effect and consequence ot the obloquy cast upon him by the upper class of writing andtalkingpoliticians .

It was not the men of the Aaitonai ; or of the Reform , who overthrew the dynasty , but the writers , courtiers , and ministers who thronged its salons , and sat in its private cabinets . . It was the great mistake of Louis Philippe , as it was of Napoleon , that he forgot the people , and left them out of account . They were so easily gulled in 1830 , and crushed with such facility alter wards , that Louis Phili ppe believed the ghost of popular insurrection to be for ever laid , nor did he seem even to contemplate the possibility of its resurrection , till it suddenly appeared up ' on his threshold . His sole care and anxiety , a ll bis precaution and all his regards , were directed to the politician class , both in his own capital and in the capitals of other
countries . These he cajoled , these he neutralised , these he intrigued against . On them he exertcl all bis address , utterly forgetting the far more necessary art of cajoling and winning public opinion . This latter might not have been so difficult for him as the other was ! Indeed , his lamented son , the Duke of Orleans , had made himself popular ; and , however inferior in capacity to his father , the young Prince had shown an intuitive sense of what was necessary for his position and his prospects . But with bun perished the hope of the dynasty ; which it was clear to every one , save to those most concerned , that Louis Philippe would at last thoroug hly depopularise , and so uproot . It could not have survived his life , if it had happened to last so long .
This belief had become irresistible . It was in the very atmosphere . It was a belief bo general and bo strong that even the epicier class had ceased to put faith in the citizen King , and at last were brought to look on with contentment at the invasion of his palace and at the scattering of all the royal insignia—emblems of their own disappointment and betrayal—by the lowest dregs of the mob . French history of these later days thus happ ily goes far to discredit and destroy a belief , we fear but too general in France , that address is everything towards political success , and honesty or generosity of purpose nothing . Within the last half century France has exhibited the examples of two
Princes , both of first-rate talent , ' both of first-rate selfishness , and of utter contempt tor principles and for men . Yet to what did the great genius of the one , the great experience and sagacity of the other , lead , but to the same end—the sudden fall find utter destruction of their reign , their dynasty , their policy , their schemes . The Orleans and Buonapartean f a milies were swept away like a pack of cards , because both , to secure their selfish ends , were in the habit of sacrificing everything—their friends , their country , their principles . It was the most natural and the most salutary form of revenge , that men and things should conspire to work their well-deserved and retributive ruin .

THE PKANKFORT PEACE DELEGATES , The English and American delegates and visitors to the Peace Convocation left Frankfort on Thursday morning , and proceeded down the Rhine to Cologne . Before reaching that ' ancient city , a circumstance occurred very gratifying to their feelings . Two clergymen made their appearance on board , accompanied by one of the Bonn professors , and desired a conference . Mr . Sturge , of Birmingham , was voted to the chair . The clergymen stated that they represented the society which had lately beett formed for . the purpose of securing European patronage to complete the great cathedral at Cologne , and thus make it the finest work of gothic art in the world , and that they had made their appearance among the peace delegates to welcome
them to Frankfort , and to give them every facility to see their cathedral . The delegates accpted the invitation , and on reaching the city , the ship was received by salutes of cannon , and a large concourse of people . The Town Hall was given up by the authorities as tbe rallying point , and here the English and American people conferred round the venerable council table , and then formed themselves into a procession , four a-breast , each bearing the olive leaf of peace in his coat or on his bat , and the ladies wearing it on their bonnets . The procession moved through the streets
to the Cathedral , evidently to the astonishment of great numbers of people . At the Cathedral they were all safely conducted over the magnificent works , even to . the very , top of the tower , by the clergymen , and in their , descent many of the most famous altars were unlocked for the benefit of their curiosity . The tomb which is said to contain the skulls of the three kings of Cologne or magi , who went forth to Jerusalem in the first century of the Christian religion , to do homage to religion , was opened and lit with , gas , and the skulls Bhown through the golden works to the greatest possible advantage . ,
After the interchange of mutual civilities , the party separated . A meeting which was proposed in the evening did not come off hi consequence of some unexplained difficulty .

. HORRIBLE TYRANNY IN NAPLES . A correspondent of the Daily News of Tuesday , gives . the following account of the proceedings , against the democratic party : — It will scarcely be believed by those who are unacquainted with domestic proceedings of despotic Italian government , that at the present moment ; the highest officers of the Crown in Naples are using the most contemptible means to incriminate a few men who have had the courage to obey , and possess the power to support , that constitutional form of government which his Majesty Ferdinand II . freely accorded to the Two Sicilies in 1848 .
When the Neapolitan government found the events of Europe promised a retrograde movement , their object was in conjunction with the Camarilla which surrounds the king , to remove all who bad taken an active part in the constitution . This aim was accomplished by two means . First , by tbe threatened arrest of the leading men , many of whom fled the country , and secondly , by the imprisonment of those who remained . These are now accused of high treason as belonging to the sect called the Unita Italiana , which the government thinks proper to call a republican club . But as those who were the most obnoxious to the Camarilla did not really belong even to the United Italians ( whose object appears to have been tbe formation of a federal Italy , like that of Germany ) it was necessary to invent a framework of falsehood , by employing paid scoundrels to put their names to accusations drawn up by the police . And further , as will be
seen by the evidence in tbe public court , the authorities actually tortured the victims when in prison to denounce each other . In some instances , however , they used the milder means of endeavouring to bribe . ¦ ¦ - Amongst those who fled from Naples under a threatened arrest are Prince Santetedoro , Prince Torella , Duke Protn , Prince Campomaggiore , and many other noblemen , together with a large portion of the deputies , all Of whom are at this moment either in Piedmont , France , or England . I am told that no less than 5 , 000 Neapolitans of property and distinction are now in exile . From that period thousands have been thrown into prison for political op inions : many have been let out , especially in the provinces , and the vengeance of the government is at present centered on the forty-two under trial . The most important prisoner is the ex-minister Baron Poerio . .. '¦
I now proceed to give a summary of these interesting and important trials up to the present date . On the 1 st of June forty-two prisoners were brought handcuffed and surrounded by soldiers into the criminal court , where they found the President Navara ) a notoriously bad character ) , and ten judges , appointed especially : for the occasion to try the accused , with the crown lawyer , Angellilo , and twenty-seven lawyera employed by the prisoners . The proceedings of this and the following day were occupied in reading the president ' s report , which may be thus reduce d . The prisoners were accused of belonging to a sect called the Vhita Italiana , the object of which was to destroy the Italian monarchies , and place the whole peninsula under a
democratio form of government . It is then argued tnat that must mean a republic , therefore all who belong to the sect are republicans , and guilty of hi gh treason , and although the prospectus of the sect asks nothing more than the king actually put in exfcutiou when he sent off his royal troops to ficht the Austrians—the fabric of the accusation is built on the aims of this sect , which proposed a federal league in Italy like'that of Germany . The court had scarcely opened , when one of the prisoners , Leipnecher , fell ill , when the president caused him to be brought into court in a dying state . The lawyer protested , and twenty medical men certified to bis dangerous state , whereupon a medical man of bad character reported to the president that Leipnecher feigned . Tbe president theni ordered the medical men to make a report wmen would enable him to enter the court . The unfortunate man , in a state of perfect prostration , was accusation
dragged before the judges . His was read , and at the close of the process it was tnougnt the poor man had expired . The doctors were called , and the same man who had certified , only three hours before ; that the prisoner was in a state to appear , was obliged to own he was in a dying state . " Can he remain an hour longer ? " said the president to the medical men . " No ! " Two days after he was no more . His mother and sister were forbidden to exchange a laBt adieu with their unfor . tunate Bon and brother , nor were the priests allowed to pray with him . He was thrown naked into the pit of the Campo Santo . He only made one remark— "They want to kill me ; they shall see I do not fear death . " Leipnecher was a man of great talent , and known for his liberal opinions . He returned to his native city after the granting oi the constitution , having been an exile , for many years , during which time he had travelled aU over Europe on foot , and supported himself by his pencil .

Oueot the first examples of lut ' atny on the part of government was . disclosed by G . De Semohe / a prisoner , who stated that whilsticontined . in Cagtel j *\ . opwiniander visited ^ hiui , and tbreateneu » he did hot reveal the aeciretfyf the 8 eo . t , ; he should be skinned alive ; but on the Contrary , if he diBClojeoV w hat he-knew ,, the-government would provide him with a place , and gave , him 18 , 000 ducats , and , as a proof , he then presented 200 piastres to the prisoner as-a guarantee of the sincerity of the government . De Sembne re lused . At this revelation , the presioent commanded silence . "Then , " said the prisoner , " our judges do not wish to hear the truth . "—G . Erri-SxS ° - a 6 econd prisonerstated he was promised
. ' . , 200 ducats a month from government if he . would as - !| 8 t the commissary of police in accusing others . —S . Faucitano , one of the accused , deposed that his hair was torn from bis head by . spies on his way to prison , and that he was a bound by wet cords . He was shut in a dark dungeon for nine days without ? ? „ » save * li wle . bread and water , and no bed . lie was then dragged before the police . nuthoritiep , and obliged to sign a paper , which it appears denounced others as sectarians . —6 . Carrio stated that whilst in prison he was offered 6 , 000 ducats if he would swear a fellow prisoner , Nisco , endeavoured to excite the royal troops to desert and join the
people . , The wife of Sersale was imprisoned te force an accusation against her husband , one , of the accused . As these facts came out , the president exclaiiriod , "Itis not allowed to injure , the character of public officers who enjoy the confidence of the king . "—p . Antonetti narrated the torture he had suffered , and the want of food , which caused him to put hisnatne to a paper drawn up by the police . —F . Cavafa , on the seventh day , prayed the court to relieve himself and fellow political prisoners from the crowded rooms in which they were placed : 1 , 830 prisoners were huddled together in a apace too small to move about ' with ease .. The president promised an investigation of his statement .
After reading the accusation of the ex-minister , Baron Poerio , that gentleman stated , amongst other falsehoods and absurdities , it was affirmed that the Marquis Dragonetti had written him a revolutionary letter . But the police , in compiling this forgery , had dated the letter from Acquilla , at a period when Dnigonetti was with him in the city of Naples ; and this was a point which the authorities had had admitted in the proeesso . Three priests swore that the persona whom the government had employed to accuse Poerio were the worst description of characters , the pests of the parish , and that one of the spies , M . Colella , told him'that the police had promised the said . Colella a place of twelve ducats per month for denouncing the ex-minister . The revelations of the prisoner Nisco were equally dishonourable to the government and the executive .
L . Settembrini was the last prisoner examined . This gentleman was . a conspicuous supporter of the constitution , and therefore particularly odious to the government . He is accused of being at the head of the Unita Italiana .. He was not allowed to offer any defence , and the written and printed his . tory of his persecutions are the only means of learning the injustice and tyranny of the ^ government towards this prisoner . From the above facts , which have come out in a public court , and some of them in the presence of the French and English ministers , it will be seen that the Neapolitan government and its executive have not hesitated to descend to the very lowest , the very vilest , means to incriminate a set of men whose only real sin is love of honest and open government , and that Ituliun independence which every prince of the peninsula pretended to BUBtain .

TO THE OPERATIVE BOOT AND SHOEMAKERS OF SCOTLAND , ENGLAND , AND IRELAND .
Brothebs , Fhiends , and Shopuatks , —We , the undersigned , crave the liberty to lay : before you a statement of our grievances , hoping and trusting that you will judge justly and impartially between the calumniator : and the calumniated—between those that would oppress and those that hate oppression;— -and between those that 'arrogantly and fraudulently designate themselves Me boot and shoemakers of Glasgow , though not numbering the one-hundredth part of that body , and those that
truthfully .. term themselves the boot and shoemakers of the eastern division of said oity . Shopmates , who amongst you does notablior tyranny ? Who amongst , you does not detest despotism ? And who amongst you would not lend his aid to curb the one and crush the other ? As for ourselves , we utterly abominate tyranny—let it ap pear in whatever form it may—whether it be the aristocrat , the capitalist , or our fellow workman who enacts the part of tyrant we care not , itis all the same to us ; our cry shall always be down—down with the tyrant , the oppressor , and the despot !
In the years 1841-2 , a strike occurred in this oity , which was instituted by the late City body against their employers , and carried on with unremitting vigour . It was supposed by the officers of suit body , that some of the Calton ( or eastern division ) shops were making up work for the City employers . Such being the real or supposed case , the City body appealed to the Calton society , at the same time , stating that they ( the City body ) had ample funds at their- command , and would willingly and freely meet any and every expense which the Calton body might incur . The appeal was warmly responded to ;
the suspected shops struck , and the Calton society expended upwards of £ 70 sterling of their ownmoney upon that affair . When all their cash was gone , they applied to tbe City body for assistance , and all that they received from them , was £ 20 to carry on the strike . At length the matter was adjusted between the City society and their employers , and so the affair ended ; but the Calton body had gained a loss of SEVENTY POUNDS sterling , by engaging in that strike without even the most distant chiiiice of ever receiving any indemnification for the loss of their money .
Shopma te s , we sh a ll now draw y our attention t o the time that the old Rump , ( the City body ) , in connexion with the wiseacres ot Edinburgh , formed the fudge affair known by the title of " The Scottish Union , " an association which was got up for the express purpose of crushing the English " Mutual Assistance Association " in this country ; but , as was anticipated by every intelligent shopmate in this city at the time , it turned out a most miserable failure , and was the chief , nay , the sole cause of tbe breaking up , and complete dissolution of both the Calton and City societies ; in a word , they fell victims to their own ignorance , folly , and stupidity . As the late City body ( the old Rump ) was guided by despotism , and only existed by tyrannising , few —very few—heaved even one sigh of regret when it f e ll , and it was to be hoped , that none would ever
after attempt to follow such an example ; but in that we have been sadly mistaken , nay actually dis appointed , for a body has sprung up , although there are hundreds of shoemakers at present working in the oity who would doubt the validity of such an assertion , but Buch is the fact ; and though insignificant in numerical strength , ( they only numbered eighteen at their last general meeting ) , yet they seem to be deeply imbued with the same spirit of intolerance , ignoiance , and stupidity which characterised all the proceedings of the old Bump—those tyrants of bygone days , Shopmates , the motives which propelled the founders of this New City Society is a strange one indeed , for it sprung into being with a mask upon ; its features ; in other words , it was formed and set in motion for fraudulent putyoses . The following are the facts of the ease . . ;;
At the , demise and downfall of the late City society , its members were indebted £ 40 to a certain party here , and as a few individuals belonging to the said society had become security for the abovementioned sum of money , they found themselves involved in a dilemma , out of which they could not extricate themselves without the aid of others . Well , did they apply to the men who composed the late City body for assistance ere they resorted to other means ? No ! but like artful dodgers , as they are , they at once bethought them of forming a new society , for the purpose of paying the debt in question , though quite resolved to keep the dodge as dark—as secret—as possible from the members of the said society ; but murder will out—the dodge
was a dead failure—the move proved an abortion , and at last the concoctors of this new society were obliged , though much against their inclinations , to have recourse to honester means of liquidating their debts , namely , by calling upon the shopmates , indiscriminatel y , to receive voluntary contributions from them . However , the money not coming in aa rapidly as they could wish by the last means alluded to , they once more , set their wits to work to devise another dodge , ^ wbioh appeared to us in tbe shape of a demand upon our body , to refund the £ 20 that the late Cnlton Society received from the late city body to enable them to carry on the strike in 1841-2 ; accompanying their demand for . money with the threat that if we would hot comply with their very civil request , that they would stop our correspondence with other towns , and
likewise discontinue to correspond with us them * selves!—a consummation devoutly to be wished for . Iteall y , shopmatee , we are «§ t a loss to know what to do in this case ; whetheirto laug h at , or be angry with those ; blundering block-heads—those new lights ofsooiety : for whilst calmly reviewing their conduot from their starting into , feeble exist * ence , which is about nine months ago , up to the present time , we really cannot say whether they deserve a felon ' s chains or a fool ' s cap the best . This we will say , that if they cannot effect any good , they ought not to attempt to injure others who may , . Shopmates , we imagine that it is high time that we were giving yoa some account of ourselves , our aspirations , and our hopes , so that you may he enabled to form a proper estimate of our designs , and wn « ftew , wifo theftttittess . wtUleas , an *

even evil deeds of those that oug ht to be our friends , but who , in reality , are bur direst foes . - About four months ago , a Jew ol us exerted ourselves so far as to assemble a considerable number of the shopmates of the eastern division of this city , in the Mechanics' Hall , Calton , ' or the given purpose of forming a society , not of the old non-p ; rojres 8 iTe stamp ; no ; but a society whose ultimatefbbject is the emancipation of its members from the ' degrading shackles of WAGES ' SLAVERY , . by adopting , as soon as our funds would permit , the system which some of the London ahopmates have already embraced . At the same time , not to appear exclusive , individual , or selfish , we were resolved to form friendly relations with every to « n that would offer the right hand of fellowshi p to usi Still Upnninir nilf llltimnto ntiinnt Ailln in iriatir £ " ¦¦¦ Vl till

At the breaking up , or dissolution of any illegal society , ( such aa all Trades' Societies are ) , each member is in honour bound to contribute towards the liquidation of any debt or debts , which may have been contracted by the officers of the snid society , for societary purposes , whilst in
existence . : 2 nd .. No new society can lay elnim to any debt or debts due to a former society , though almost composed of the same persons . : 3 rd . No new society "is , in any respectentitled to liquidate the debts contracted by a former society , although nearly composed of the same members ; individually they are entitled to pay all such debts , but as a society they are not . Shopmates , the above legal facts will at once disentangle your minds from the absurd idea , that a new society is in duty bound to pay the debts of an old society i but we are quite aware , nay , are
confident , that in each sooiety , before which this address might be laid , a sufficient number of intelligent men will be found to advocate our cause , and approve of our conduct . To set this matter at rest for ever , permit us to state , that being a society whose aim and object is as dissimilar us . possible trom any sooiety that ever existed in this city , or in Scotland , wo , therefore , and for that reason cannot , nor will not acknowledge the sli ghtest relationship between ourselves and any other society that may have existed in this locality previous to our formation . ' AU that we re > quire is , to be on friendly terms with all and every society of our trade in the three kingdoms . V
Shopmates , in conclusion , allow us to observe , that we are blamed by the City body for entering some of their members without a line from their secretary ; This statement we at once flatly deny ; we distinctly affirm that we have done no such thing ; but if they ( the City body ) consider it to be just , honourable , or honest to claim those shopmates of the Eastern division of this oity as their mem bers , who have through kindness contributed their mite towards the payment of the late City body ' s debt , then we nt once plead guilty to the charge , for the most of us have done so , and would do so still , if they will request such contributions from us as voluntary gifts , and not demand ¦ them as undoubted ri ghts .
We have not the slightest ill-feeling against the members of the City body ; our minds are otherwise occupied . We have higher aims and nobler aspirations to claim our leisure moments , instead of concocting calumny , against any body of men . We would not hurt the serpent , but make the serpent hurfless .

¦ ¦ ¦ ' «» . ' .. . . . ¦ THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS . Yorkshire .- Harvest operations in the neighbourhood of Selby , Snaith , Rawcliffe , and Goole , have nearly been brought to a close , and the crops well gathered . The wheat crops look well , but it expected the yield in this district will be rather below the average . The grain is generally small . - Other crops ripened so rapidly that much corn was knocked out by the prevalent high winds , before tbe farmers could get it cut . Oats , it is believed , will yield well . Beans have suffered in the top from the high winds , and the crop will not be great—some of the crops corn but indifferently . Turnips are looking admirably , particularly Swedes , which are remarkably fine . — Yorkshire Gazette . .
Oxfordshire . —The harvest ib rapidly drawing to a cl <> ae , the beautiful weather of the present week having tended to bring about this desirable end . A few fields only of the late oat and spring beans remain standing , and some of the latter will not pay the expense of cutting , carting , stacking , and thrashing . On many farms , carrying having been finished , the teams are busy with the skim plough and drag hnrrowa , conveying the idea of the beginning of another agricultural . rear . Taking this harvest through , we think the produce has been carried in a very lair condition ; that the crops of wheat , beans , and peas are deficient ; barley and oats an average , and the root crops abundant . — Oxford Journal .
Dkbbtshirb —Although during the last fews days the state of the weather has been unfavourable for harvest operations , yet a greater breadth has been cleared in tolerable condition than might have been expected . The greatest activity has been manifested , and it may be fairly questioned whether greater energy , stimulated by an uncertain future , has ever been displayed than is now the case . The present month has been of unusual coldness , cloudy , rainy , atormy , and unpropitious , with occasional frosty nights . Tbe account of the several crops are contradictory ; but there are sufficient reasons to warrant the opinion that the whrat crop will not realise the promise which was warranted a few weekB ago . Mildew , blight , and rust have prevailed to a great extent . Compared with tbe produce of the last year ,
the crop , as a whole , will be deficient both in quality and quantity ; and it seems by do means improbable that the price will be enhanced , unless the foreign supplies Bhould come in to make up the deficiency . The potatoes are far from promising , and we learn from undoubted authority that in some situations the disease has manifested itself to a greater extent than last year . —Derbyshire Courier . Cumberland . —The weather , since our last , has been very unfavourable for harvest operations . The work , however , is well forward , and one or two dry days will see most of the grain cut . ^ Shearing is already nearly completed upon the early farms . In Rome quarters a little has been "housed , " but we cannot say that in general there is in this respect much to be done . Complaints still continue to pour in regarding the potato blight . —Carlisle Journal .

Sir J . Franklin ' s Expedition . —The United States bri g Advance , belonging to the expedition in search of Sir John Franklin , reached Whalefish Island , on the west coast of Greenland , on the 24 th of June , in thirty-two days from New Yprk . The tvescuo arrived on the 27 th . A letter from a gentleman on board , published in the New York Herald , says : — " On our arrival here we found an English barque at anchor she is a storeship , having brought stores and coal out for the squadron , which , by the way , sailed from here' yesterday , consisting of two barques of about 300 tons each , carrying sixty men , and steamers of about 100 tons each , with from forty to fifty men ; they are all bound in search of Sir John Franklin . The barque sails in about a
week for England , which will give us all a fine opportunity to write , the onl y one I am afraid we shall lave for some time to come . We have been very fortunate in sending letters thus far , for I boarded a vessel off Newfoundland , bound in to St . John ' s , about the 1 st of this month .. We all sent letters by her . They went from St . John ' s b y steamer to Halifax , and from thence to tho United States . After leaving New York , we kept company with the Rescue , by keeping under short sail , until the 19 th tilt ., when , finding it impossible for her to keep up , we made sail and lost sight of her in a few hours . The days after leaving Now York gradually grew longer until the 16 th of this month ( in 60 deg . 50 miniN . lat . ) , when we could really say we had constant day , so much bo that we were able to steer
without lighting the binnacle lamp , a thing I never saw before . We have not got used to it yet , and hardly know when turning in time comes . You have no idea how strange it appears to come on deck at midnig ht , ( or rather what ought to be midnig ht , ) and find it broad daylight , with the sun up . We still discriminate one twelve hours from the other , by calling them night and day , and appropriate the part we call night for sleeping , or rather a portion of it . After leaving the coast of Newfoundland we fell in with no ice until we were about to make the coast of Greenland , when we found the icebergs in great numbers . We made Greenland on the 21 st ; it certainly is the most dismal , rock y , barren
country I ever saw or ever expect to see . We expect to go to a place called Uppernwik , about two hundred miles from here ; from there we go to Melville Bay , thence aoroBs to Lancaster Sound to Capo Walker from Cape Walker we shall try to get \ V p to Melville Island , and as much farther as we can . We expect to winter at Melville Isle , but that , of course , will depend , very much on circumstances . This is the last opportunity we shall have of writing for a long t ime , unless we have the good luck to fall in with a whalerbpund either home or to England .

LOSS OF THE ORION STEAMER . Triaii of the Captain and MATEH . —The trial of Mr . Thomas Henderson , the captain of . the Orion ; Mr . George Langlands , the first mate of that vessel ; and of Mr . Jone Williams , the second mate , forthe shipwreokof the Orion , in June last , off Portpatrick . commenced in Edinburgh , on Thursday the 29 th ult ., before the High Court of Justiciary . On ] the table in front of the judges * benoh , were placed a beautiful model of the Orion , boat , boat coyer , charts of the coast of Wigtownshire , and a number of other things . The indict * menfc set out by ehurging Thomas Henderson , the master ; George Langlands , the first mate ; and John Williams ' , the second mate , with culpabla homicide , as also of culpable and reckless neglect of duty . It then went on to narrate the
circumstances of the loss of the Orion in technical language ; and nftei" mentioning the names of such of Che passengers as were ascertained to be lost , it concluded as follows : — " And you , the said Thomas Henderson and John Williams , are , both and each , or one or other of you , guilty of the culpable bereavement of the lives of all and each , or one or more of tbe said persons drowned ia manner above libelled ; and you the , said George Langlands , are guilty of the culpable bereavement of tho livea of such ot the said persons as were drowned in the msrnner above libelled when left in the sinking ship , in consequence of the eaid boats , or some of them , not having . proceeded with passengers from , the said ship to the shore as often , before the said
ship sank , as they woujd have done , if fully and properly equipped , or in consequence of the boats , or some of them , being unfitted to carry , and not having carried , their full complement of passengers to the shore ; or , when thrown into the water , by tho capsizing or swamping of both and each of ono or other of the two boats , the said quiirter-bn . it and life-boat respectively , capsized or swamped in the manner above libelled , " Special defences were lodged for the captain and second mate , but none for the first mate . In these , the captain alledged , that he had gone below to take a little rest , leaving the vessel in charge of a competent officer ; and that after this , the accident arose from causes which'he could not control . The second mate set forth , that he had steered the vessel to the best of
his judgment ; and that the accident had arisen from the deficient state of the ship ' s compasses or other machinery , and that he , therefore , was not liable for this . The case for the Crown was conductsd by the Solicitor-General ; Messrs . Peas and Bell , and Mr . Craufurd , appeared as counsel for Captain Henderson ; : Mr . Penny for Williams , the second mate ; and Mr . Lo < ran for Langhinds , the first mate . The panels pleaded not guilty to the charges in the indictment , and the case then went to trial . —Captain Robinson , R . N . deposed , that he bad been emp loyed for several years in making a hydrographies survey of Scotland for the Admiralty . This witness described the sunken rocks , their distances , and situation . Looking to the breadth of the channel ; witness did not think that
any person in his sound senses , looking to the na « ture of the coast , and going up the Firth of Forth , would keep his vessel only a length off to secure its safety , Looking to where tbe wreck was lying , no course , consistent with safety would allow the vessel to be so near the coast . He did not think that the current would have much effect in sending such a large vessel as the Orion in upon shore , assuming her to be taking a proper course . —John M'Donald , boat-builder , Greennck , said he made t he Orion , as also the model . Believed seventy or eighty persons could sit in one of the life-boats which he bad measured . This witness saw tho starboard quarter-boat with her bows down in the water ; and the other end of her hanging by the tackle . Saw some people tumbling out of ben
Saw some persons tumble out of tbe starboard life-boat into the water . From ' the evidence of John Kelly , a seaman on board the Orion at the time of the wreck , and who was keeping watch at the time , described the course to steer given , him by the second matOt as being very close to land , much nearer to shore than uaual . After the vessel struck , a boat was lowered . A cry was raised for a knife to cut a piece of cord fastening the boat . Oars were got in a short time ; but cannot say how many , whether two or three . Five should have been in the boat . The plug-hole was stopped by a gentleman putting his handkerchief into it . Did not go round by starboard , as the cry was raised that there were enough in . Them were from fifteen to twenty in . The boat could have carried
about thirty . There was not much water in ; it was coming in . If they had had the five oars , . the land would have been made sooner . After taking the passengers ashore , witness went back to the wreck , and went under the larboard mizzen rigging and took off as many as they found . Went then to the main rigging . The mate came into the boat , and also the caDtain . The captain was the last man to leave . The vessel had settled down b y this time . Could not have taken off the cloth and lowered the boat in ten minutes . It would take , without the cloth , from ten to fifteen minutes to lower the boat , owing to tbe manner in which the beats on board the Orion were fastened . Never saw a boat fastened with a cover like that now shown as the starboard life-boat of the Orion . The several witnesses examined corroborated the above
evidence , and one stated that a fog had come on upon the night ot the accident . The trial was resumed on Friday , when tbe declaration of captain Henderson and- the second mate , and exculpatory evidence was also given . On Saturday Mr . Craufurd , advocate , addressed the jury at great length for the master of the Orion steamer , Thomas Hen * derson . The Lord Justice Clerk then summed up , when tbe jury retired for about half an hour , and returned into court with a verdiot , finding , b y a majority , Thomas Henderson ( the captain ) Guilty of culpable neglect of duty , and John Williams ( the second mate ) unanimously Guilty . The Lord Justice Clerk then , in an impressive address , sentenced John Williams , the second ma t e , to seven , years ' tr a n s porta t ion , and Thoma s Hend e rson , tho captain , to eighteen months' imprisonment .

An Undertaker in Trouble . —On a certain day last week , about half-past seven o ' clock in tha morning , a mourning coach , with a pair of horses and driver , duly caprisoned for funeial rites , were observed slowly wending their way with great solemnity along Marsh-lane , Burmantofts , and Beckett-street , to the Leeds burial ground . On arriving at the entrance to the unconsecrated portion of the burial-ground the coach stopped until tha gates were thrown open , and then proceeded with due solemnity to the chapel doors . At that untimely hour no one was in attendance but the gravedigger , who hastened to the spot , when the following dialogue took place ;—Gravedigger ; " Where ' et mourners ? " Driver t " Inside . " — Gravedigger
( opening the coach door ) : "Not they , marry t here ' s no mourners . Where ' st coffiu ? " Driver : " Why , it ' s there , isn't it ?"—Gravedijrper : " Nay thou ' s browt no coffin nor nowt else but thee sen , thou great ! lumphead . What i 9 ta cum here for at this time o' morning ? " Driver : "I don't know . "—Cravedigger : " Who sent thee « " Driver Driver looks perplexed and sorrowful , but says noihing . )—Gravedigger : " Where has ta' come from ? " Driver rubs his nose , strokes his face , and Jooks as grave as an owl in an ivy bush . —Gravedigger : "Can ' t ta' speak man ? " Driver wipes his eyes and his mouth , and heaves a deep sigh , but remains silent . —Gravedigger : "Istadaft ? Driver takes off his hat , and scratches his head , but makes
no reply . —Gravedigger : "Now thou s scratched thee head weel , does ta find owfc in it ? " Driver " Nay . "—Gravedigger : "Then takmy advice ; go home and get to bed a bit ; and the next time then comes out , bring thee mother v » i' thee to take car © on thee , will ta ? " The man of sorrow then turned his horses head , and the whole affair remained in mystery till the following day , when the dread- of exposure Jed the driver to goto the gravedigger , and explain the cause of his visit . lie said he bad been up aU ni ght ; that his employer had rec 9 iyed an order to send a hearse and several mourning coaches for a funeral a few miles distant ; that the hearse and the other mourning coaches had started before him ; that he was behind his time , and had
in a hurried manner harnessed his horses . He then mounted bis bex and started on his journey , and fell fast asleep , and the horses had then taken the road they were accustomed to , and that when he awoke aod found himself at the Leeds burial ground he waB so stup ified and bewildered that he could not remember what he was ordered to do . Surely this is a precious specimen of those who are hired t o " mimick sorrow when the heart ' s not sad . " —Leeds Mercury . Emigration . —The British and North-American Royal Mail steam-ship Asia , Captain . Judkins , sailed for Halifax and New York , from the Mersey , on Saturday last , haying 180 passengers ,, the usual mails , and a good freight on board . :
