XESOB ^ -Aesato . tikg tbs Pouce . —On Mon-^ v ^ h ^ lfajas -Lee and William Baroforth , « f iuristall Porge , were charged , with having cotn-: mittea * n aggrarated assault on a sergeant of the ^ edspolice , and Matthew Lea , of Pottery field , ilunslet , was charged with haTing obstructed the poaoe m the execution of their duty . The two former prisoners , at an early hour on Sunday morning , were drunk , and causing a disturbance in Humlet . Lane , and , tra being remonstrated with , Barniorih committed a desperate assault on Sergeant fcaTea , one of the police , and his companion assisted him , Other policemen came up on hearing the noise , when Barnforth set oS , and was followed by two pohoemen . He then got into a pig-stye , in Pottery Reid , from whenee he was takep , and he shouted out for the other prisoner , Matthew Lea , who lires near , to come and assist him . He did so , and B&rnforfh again got oS , but was recaptured in Jack Lane . Barnforth was fined £ 4 and costs , or two months , and the other two 40 s . each and costs , or one month in Wakefield ; the money was paid .
The Theatre—On Thursday eyening , we visited , for the first time , our Theatre under its new management ; and certainly the appearance of the house ioessreat credit to the disposition of Mr . Pritchard to make the play-goers comfortable . The company is also much more numerous , and , therefore , embraces a greater variety of talent than we have heretofore known it ; and the talent of the most of the performers is of the first provincial order . The play was on that evening Guy Mannering . It was played to a wretched "House , " with a spirit and energy which were deserving of better encouragement . The parts of Henry and Lucy Bertram were sustained by Mr . F . Gardner and Miss Gourlay . There is talent in iheBe vocalists which we hope
hereafter to see better valued than it seemed to ns to be on Thursday evening . The execution of Mr Gardner is somewhat too rapid , and his articulation occasionally a little indistinct . Mrs . Gonrlay ' s voice has considerable power , but would be all the better for a more perfect modulation . Mr . P . Corri , as Gabriel , sang well . The Dandie Dinmont of Mr . B . Norton was a racy piece of acting . Mr . J . Elsgood was the best l > irk Hatterick we have ever sees . All the gentlemen whom we have heretofore seen in thiB character have made Dirk Hatterick a blusterer ; Mr . Elsgood makes him a cool determined villain , -which we think a : much mora effective as well as more correct ^ ielinealion of the character . Air . John Saundera
mane a most respectable Dominie ; and Miss Sannders , as the Gipsy Girl , sang very prettily . With due cultivation , this young lady may rise high as a vocalist . The Meg Merrilies of Miss Lanra Add-on was by no means bad . After the play . Mis E . Johnson , a mere child , " the height of one ' s knee , " sang and danced the Broom Girl , in very clever style . Then followed a Spanish dance , by Miss Saunders and her brother Mr . H . Saunders , a comic song , ** DonH I love my mother , " by Mr . Gomersall , which was sufficiently laughable , and was of course encored by " the gods , " and the Gaebucha , by Miss E . Gates . The Dumb Boy closed tbe , performanceiin which Miss W . Scott acquitted herself well , and Mr . Ebgood , as Henrie , the dumb boy , was everything in acting , that a most difficult character required . His pantomime , expressive without being extravagant , elicited much well-deserved applause . There was one point
however , in which Mr . Elsgood failed . He did not look the character . His face was unfortunately made up to the appearance of at least double the age of the supposed dnmb boy , and it could not fail to strike every spectator that when the dumb boy and Ms father came together , the father looked evidently much the younger man . This was an oversight which may be avoided when Mr . E . again plays the character , by a more careful ? making np . " As a whole the company is talented , and ought to be supported much better than Jhe appearance of the house on Thursday night might betoken . There was a vtry thin muster till half-prioe , when it improved considerably . We hope the lovers of dramatic entertainment will not suffer the enterprise of a respectable and gentlemanly manager to be a loss to him . We were glad to hear the announcement that that old favourite of the Leeds play-goers , Mr . W . J . Hammond , is engaged for a short period . We trust he will be well remembered by old friends .
Fatal Accident . —On Wednesday week , James Ond , of Cleckheaton , green grocer , came to Leeds , with a waegon , for a loid of potatoes ; he was standon the shafts of his waggon , and whDe going down toward 3 the Warehouse Hiil , his horses started off , and he was thrown to the pavement ; he pitched upon his head and the violence of the fall produced concussion of the brain . He was taken np and removed to Ihe house of Mr . Charles Wainwright , the Aire and Calder Tavern , in Call-lane , where he lingered in a state of insensjbilny , until about twelve o ' clock the . same night , when he sdied . An inqnest was held on Taursday , before John Blackburn , Esq ., and a verdict of " Accidental death" was returned . The deceased was forty-five years of age . Abtifjciai , Teeis —We were long inclined to be very sceptical about the value of these appendages of modern date . We were disposed certainly to rank them among things had
" "For ornament much more than use . " We -were unable to perceive how they could be fixed in the mouth so as not to be either very troublesome , very unsafe in their positions , or very painful in the operation of first fixing . We had heard of springs , wires , holes bored in the jaw , &o . ; and our association of ideas on the matter were of no comfortable character . Hoi could we bring ourselves to think that , under aiiy cirenmstances , conld these substitutes be made to serve the purposes of mastication . This is however the age of demonstration and discovery , and we have lived to learn that toothless old men may be renovated in their " gr indingdepartment , " till the imitation may possibly exceed the quality of the originals . We
have had opportunity of personally observing the beautiful imitation of nature which are given in the mineral teeth of Messrs . Major and Co ., whose advertisement onr readers will find elsewhere ; we have seen the ample process by which those teeth are fixed in any kind of a mouth where they are wanted ; we have seen them tested by application to all the purposes for which teeth are useful ; we know parties who have had , and used them for years , and we can certainly assure our readers that as many of them as are plagued with bad or ugly teeth need be so no longer , for the Messrs . Major and Co . have so coaxing a method with the mouth that deformity disappears "before them , and want of power to eat becomes a thing unknown save when food or inclination may be missing . We can seriously recommend these gentlemen to the patronage of all who need their aid . Their artificial teeth are so well formed that they resemble exactly the most
perfectly formed natural teeth ; they are fixed in the month without the leas * pain or any difficulty ; they remain in their places without any trouble or inconvenience ; they soon become perfectly familiar to the month , so as to cause no unpleasant sensation ; and , what . is best of all , yon may bite a crust or chew any ordinary food with them as easily and safely as if they were natural teeth . We have already said that we speak from personal observa tion . We . know parties who have worn them for years . We have also known parties who derived great benefit from Messrs . Major and Co ., in the cleansing , purifying , and beautiiying of their teeth . We have" seen some shocking mouths among our own personal friends pnt into firm order in one dressing . We repeat , therefore , that all persona who have bad teeth , ugly teeth , or no teeth at all , should go at once to Messrs . Major and Co ., who will speedily make them " all right . "

overseer , towards the neoessitioHs poor and sick , whose fetched and starving condition imperatively demanded the most prompt and kind attention . We are glad , however , to find , that our exposures of such misconduct have had a very salutary effect on the members of the Board of Guardians , who have advised the said relieving officer to resign his situation of "poor-house keeper f and we expect their next step will be , ( as they value their own characters , and would not incur the displeasure of the Commissioners , ) to see that be retains no other situation but that of relieving officers so that he may well attend to the necessities of the poor and destitute in the district for which he acts . It is the bounden duty of Poor Law Guardians , to nav a
scrupulous regard to the proper expenditure of the poor rates , and at the same time ; to show a feeling desire : to mitigate to the ntmoafc extent of their power , the frightful mass of misery and suffering which it is their painful duty to encounter ; hence they ought always to make the most searching inquiry into all cases of alleged neglect on the part of their officers . This , we are sorry to say , has not been the case in Carlisle , for the . relieving officers have been allowed , with impunity ^ to domineer over the po ' or in a most heartless and unfeeling manner , so as to frighten and deter jnany Worthy objects of relief from applying for relief at all ; and , had it oot been for the private charity of a certain benevolent gentleman , administered through the " Mendicity
Office , " many persons must have suffered serious privations . We may here state a few facts , { which will clearly show the truth of our observations in regard to the domineering conduct of the relieving officers . One case of a poor infirm old man , who receives a scanty pittance from the parish . The relieving officer waited upon him , and found him impiously engaged in perusing the Northern Star newspaper ! which a kind neighbour had lent him to wile away a heavy hour . " Oh , " said the officer , eagerly eyeing the awful heading of the paper , " so you read the Northern Star , do you ? I Bhall take especial care to bring the case before the Board of Guardians , so that the relief you \ get may be stopped . " Another case is that of a poor sick female , with a
young child . The relieving officer gave her a shilling , and said he would allow her nothing more for a week ; and , had it not been for the timely interference of a medical gentleman , she and her infant must liave died of sickness and hunger . We have heard of many cases of severe and urgent distress , with ; - which the rslieving officers have had due notice , never going near them for several days . On Monday , an aged female committed suicide by hanging herself , in consequence of her severe Buffering for want of food . She , through the advice of a young female , applied to the Board of Guardians for relief , when she was very harshly treated , and al ' owed the miserable pittance of sixpskce woekly —Correspondent .

NORTH SHIELDS . —Law AND Justice . —On Tnesday , Jane 6 ih , the case of John Carr , manager of Segbill Colliery , against Edward Brown , Joseph Simpson , and others , came on in the North Shields , court . Mr . Phillips , of Newcastle , appeared as legal adviser on behalf of Carr and ^ partners , and Mr . Stoker , of Newcastle , on behalf of the parties summoned , who are colliers , at Seghill Colliery . Edward Brown was called first , and charged with rebelling against Carr and partners , on the 31 st May last , by refusing to labour , such an act being a violation of the bond , on the part of Brown , agreed to by him . Mr . Stoker raised several legal objections to the bond and summons ; served to Brown ; but these were overruled by the magistrates , and
the trial proceeded . In the cross-examination of the nnderviewer of the colliery , the following statement was made , viz . that the average wages of Brown and two partners , for the last fortnight they were at work was 33 . 5 Jd ., or Is . 3 \ £ . each , the average wages of the whole colliery considerably leBB ; The complaint of Brewn and his fellowworkers was that they bad too few helpers . Formerly eight men had a helper ,, now eighteen men had ; no more . Mr . Stoker then addressed the magistrates on the bench , and stated that he bad called on Mr . Carr previous to tho court sitting , and informed him that all the men were willing to return to labour , and leave the matter to his own judgment , and hoped the magistrates would
recommend Mr . Carr to take the men back . This however was not done , and Brown was sentenced to one 1 month in Morpeth House of Correction , Joseph Simpson was next called ; his trial was similar . Sentenced to forty-two days in ; Morpeth House of Correction . He denied signing the bond , and had witnesses to prove he was not present when Bigned . William Hedding was then called , bnt he did not appear . Andrew Barns was ; next called , and charged with rebelling against his master , &c . Mr . Stoker asked for the summons served on Bar as ; on receiving which bo atked who wroto it 1 Answered by the Underview , " I wrote it . " Addressing the officer who served the same , " Did you shew Barus the suHjmoH 8 in the hand writing of Carr V No . —
Only this copy ? Yes . —Then I ebject to it ; it is not good service , being only a copy of a summons ; any one might have written the same without authority . This objection seemed to have some weight on the Gbori . Mr . Stoker was then asked if ho had anything else to urge in defence of Barus ! Mr . Stoker—I don ' t appearfor him , he is not summoned . Meanwhile Barus was making his way out of Court at the request of Stoker , but wasjstopped by a policeman . A grey-haired , elderly gentleman here left the bench , and came to Mr . Bee ' sley , of Accrington , who was taking notes of the case , and in a most furious manner attacked him for requesting Barus to leave the Court . Mr . Beesley replied by telling him he had more right to request Barus to quit the
court than you have for attacking me . Mr . Kydd here requested the old fellow to be quiet or he would complain to the magistrates for being annoyed while reporting . Mr . Barus having resumed his place , was sentenced to forty-two days in Morpeth house of correction . Mr . Barus—Am I not allowed to speak for my > elf then ? The Magistrate who pronounced the sentence—You are ] already sentenced . Another Magistrate—We will hear you . Barus then stated that he did not leave work , but : was laid idle by Mr . Wickman refusing to employ barrow-men . Barus here called in witnesses to prove his ~ statement . The magistrates finding themselves in this diJemma , declared the objection of Mr . Stoker valid , and
discharged Mr . Barus . Of course , none of the others were tried j none being rightfully summoned A prosecution against the magistrates for sentencing Edward Brown and Jos . Simpson was immediately entered by Mr . Beesley , at the reqnert of the men who were not tried . The colliers belonging to the colliery , to the number of one hundred and fifty or thereabouts , retired to a large room in the neighbourhood , when the following resolution was carried unanimously : — " That we , the mm of Segbill , tender our sincere thanks to Messrs . Kydd and Beesley for their valuable services on the present occasion ; and that we support the wives and families of our unjustly incarcerated brethren equal with our own" during their incarceration ; ' convinced that they are guilty of no crime but are the victims of unjust
laws ; and that we use every means m our power to procure the means for carrying out the prosecution against the North Shields Magistrates- ' Mr . Kydd said , in thanking them for the ' confidence reposed in him , he was not disposed to make a speech . He was j sorry he could not give them money on the present occasion ; but he was well known to them all , and would pay his own expenses ia travelling , & . o . to a dozen of districts to which they might appoint him , and deliver lectures in aid of their funds for that purpose . Mr . Beesley said , he , like . Kydd , was not purse proud , ~ but be had a-heart to feel for injured humanity , and would act similarly , by paying his own expenBet and lecturing to them on the Sabbath as often as his other arrangements would admit .

HOUSE OF COMMONS-Tuesdjly , June 13 . Lord Dalmeny moved the second reading of the Halbeath and Dolgelly Railway Bill . It was opposed by Mr . Baucfi , and on a division the Bill was thrown out by a majority of 81 to 49 . Numerous petitions were presented against the Factories Education Bill . Mr . W . S . O'Bbjen gave notice that on Tuesday , the 27 tu of June , he would move the following resolution : — " That this House will resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House , to inquire into the causes of the discontent at present prevailing in Ireland , with a view to the redress of grievances , aud to ihe establishment of such a system of just and impartial government as shall for the future leave no ground for well-founded complaint on the part of the Iruh people . "
Sir V . Blake gave notice , that on Monday next he would submit a motion , ' which , as it would contain a charge against Ministers for impeding and violating the privileges of that House , he hoped would have precedence of a'l other business . The Hou . Baronet then read the motion which ha intended to submit , which , in substance , charged , the government with having made the most provokingly , uncivil and military demonstration in Ireland , to the great injury of tho privileges of Parliament ' , and in violation of the constitutional rights of the subject to assemble and : petition Parliament for the removal of any alleged grievance . ( " Hear , hear , " and a laugh . ) In answer to a question ; from Lord R . GrcBvenor , Sir Jamls Graham said he was not prepared to concur in the provisions of tho Interment in Towns Bill .
Mr . Mackimnon afterwards intimated that after what had fallen from the Home Secretary , he was not prepared to say whether he would go on with his Bill . The Billj of course , is lost . Sir R . Peel said the dvscus 9 ion of the Sugar Duties , he trusted , would be taken on Monday , but this would depend on the length of the debate on the Irish Arms Bill . He trusted , however , that the Factories Bill would be brought forward on that evening . Lord J . Russell moved that the House resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House , for the purpose of considering the present state of the Corn Laws . The Noble Lord made along speech on the Bubject . Numerous speakers followed , and , on a division , the motion was rejeoted by a majority of 99 .
The other Orders of the Day were disposed of , and the House adjourned at half-past twelve o ' clock .

UNITED STATES . The Great Western , Lieutenant Hosken , R . N , arrived at Liverpool on Thursday morning , at five o ' clock . She sailed from New York on the afternoon of the 25 th ult ., and has made the passage in thirteen day and twelve hours . She has brought 127 passengers , among whom is Mr . Jaudon , the celebrated American financier . The papers brought by the Great Western ektend from the 16 'th to the 2 osh ult ., and are ten days later than the New York papers brought by the Hibernia .
The chief topic of discussion in the papers is a speech delivered by Mr . Webster , at Baltimore , in which the Tariff of last year was dwelt upon at considerable length . Mr . Webster , who was a strenuous advocate of that Tariff , finding that it has become extremely unpopular with all but the manufacturers , now comes torward to repeal the protective Tariff by commercial treaties . No material changes had taken place in the money , the stock , or the produce markets , in the interval between the 16 th and the 25 ' . h ult . The exchange on Lond in was dull , and : the business tansacted for the Great Western was to a limited amount . The rate on London was 108 ! to 108 ^; on Paris , 5 f . 30 c . ; on Amsterdam , 39 J ; Ha-mbnrgh , 35 ; and on Bremen , 77 . United State Sixes were quo * ed at 112 ^ . Money continued abundant , and good business paper could be discounted at 4 to 5 per cent , per
annum . : Sir Charles Bagot died at Kingston on the morning of the 18 tb nit . The Montreal Gazette states , that his remains would be removed to New York , there to be embarked on board Her Majesty ' s ship the Warspite , lying ! at that port . Lady Bagot and family would , it was expected , return to Engand in the same vessel . Accounts from Yucatan contain descriptions of actions between the Texian and the Mexican naval
forces on that coast . The affairs seem to have been very gallant ones on the part of the Texians , whose artillery caused serious ( jfamage to the Mexican vessels , particularly to the iron steamers of war Guadalonpe and Montezuma . On shore the Mexican forces had sustained great disasters . The army of 2 , 000 men sent against Merida , the capital of Yucatan had surrendered themselves prisoners of war ; and the troops before Cain peachy were on the point of capitulating to the Yucatans . These successes had insured the independence of the republic .
The advices from Texas are to the 6 in ult . The Gatviston Civilian intimates , that the reports heretofore published , of the interposition of the American , British , and French Governments between Texas aud Mexico , with a view ] to putting a stop to the predatory warfare along their borders , are true ; and that the French Government , particularly , has given very positive instructions to its Minister on the subject .

"REPEAL" IN MANCHESTER . MR . O'CONNOR'S LECTURE . On Thursday night , by far the moat spirited meeting that has been witnessed for some years ia Manchester , was held in the Carpenters' Hall , for the purpose of hearing a lecture from Mr . O'Connor on the Repeal of the Union . The large building was crowded in every part , principally by Irishmen . The holidays , so fatal to political agitation , did not appuar to operate upon the minds of the Irishmen . Mr . O'Connor spoke for nearly three hours ; and , as acknowledged by his countrymen , gave them information upon the question of Repeal and ihe state of Ireland , which they had never received irom any other source . His
address throughout was received with the warmest applause ; and upon his replying to a hearty vote of thanks , carried by acclamation , he took the opportunity of touching upon ; rhe recent Anti-Cbanistcombinalion-resolution received Irom Ireland . He remarked upon it without : sarcasm or auger ; afld concluded by assuring the meeting that he would help them , whether they liked ; it or not : for that neither individual , class , or community , should thwart him into personal or angry conflict with any parties sincerely intending the regeneration of his country . He had quarrelled with Mr . O'Connell when he considered him apathetio : he would assist him in spite of him , when energetic ; and if h relapsed into indifference again , be would not b afraid to speak his mind as be bad done before . A the close of the meeting , one of the most active of the Repeal Wardens handed his book for the enrolment
of members to Mr . O'Connor , saying , "Here , Peargus , give us your same , and as many of yeur friendB aa like ; and we'll have you . " Mr . O'Connor and others entered their names , and paid their admission money amidst cheers . The meeting broke up , following Mr . O'Connor to the carriage , and accompanying him through the streets , cheering as they went along . This isa ^ n ought to be ; for although we shall studiously abstain from the expression of one sentence likely to oreate a bad feeling between the working classes of the two countries , wo mnjt think that if the unfortunate policy attempted to be forced upon the Irish party had hiicoeeded , it would have gone far to place out «» t ihcir reach the Repeal of that " Uaioa , " the iff eft , or' which they have so much reason'o deplore , Th <> Irish , however , have acltd as became them ; r ^ fiiMiig no aid which can be brought to their aisistari < 0 . We bhali J 4 JT 0 Mr . U ' CoLuot'o tpoeth at fullluigih in our next .

IRELAND . ] Repeal in the Army . —The following ( particulars of a military affray appear in the Cork Examiner of Monday : — " A considerable degree of [ excitement and alarm was created last evening betwea the hours of nine and ten o ' clock , in the neighbourhood of Patrick ' s-bridge and King-strest , from the conduct of a great number of soldiers belonging to the 56 th and 45 th regiments , the majority of whom were intoxicated . Several attempts were made bj the sober portion of the military to induce their comrade ? to go quietly to barracks , but ail in vain , force and remonstrance being alike unavailing . They then fought amongst themselves , but happily with more fury than effect ; aud though numberless [ blows were offered , ana heavy falls received , ' still -there wore few real injuries inflicted . This conduct naturally
attracted a considerable crowd , which increased every moment , the streets being thronged as usual , on Sunday . Some of the police belonging to iho King-street station were present , but didjnot at first interfere , hoping that the intoxicated soldiers would have been brought away quietly by thorr sober comrades , particularly as a number of tbe | 45 : h , who are nearly all teetotallers , volunteered Mjeir bervices to that effect . But as all their efforts were unavailing , and the row increased in violence , the police , who fortunately were reinforced by constables from the Tuckey-street station ] succeeded in arresting four men of the 56 th Regiment , and bringing them Co cheKtng-st . station , in doing which , one of the constables ( No . 98 ) received ! several severe blows from the soldier whom he had arrested , and who struck him with the breastplate of his
belt . This constable had a narrow escape of his life , for on approaching the provision stores of the Messrs . Burke , the soldier pushed himjagainst tho low wall of the very deep area which gives light to the lower cellar , and but for the timely interference of a woman , who caught him by the skirts of his coat as he was hanging down , head foremost , he would hare fallen down a j height of several feet . Moat of the soldiers were extremely young , and were evidently Irish , by their accent , as well as by their expressions , for thny repeatedly snouted out—" Hurrah for Repeal!—by G—we must have the Repeal ! " —and } numberless other exclamations which proved beyond doubt that
they were far from indifferent to the present movement in favour of Irish independence . J During th ^ whole time many hundred people were assembled , who seemed to be greatly excited . Owipg , however , to the praiseworthy exertions of our respected fellow citizen , Mr . J . Hackett , to whom the polico ought to be much indebted , the people were induced to disperse , without the least violence . At a late hour one . of the officers of the 45 tb with ] a party arrived , and took the four soldiors who had been pre-r viously arrested by the police up to the barracks . We understand that his worship the [ Mayor , and Cuptain Gun have this day waited on Sir O . Carey , aud that an investigation into the circumstances detailed abovo will be speedily held . " \
Demonstration in Drogheda . —Drogheda , June 6 , 1843 . —The patriotic men of Droghjeda and the adjoining localities have done their duty nobly to themselves , their leader , and their country . The demonstration which has just taken place has transcended far and away all similar political exhibitions heretofore witnessed in a locality long distinguished for its fidelity to the cauae of the people , and is woil deserving of a distinguished place among the many glorious manifestations of popular feeling by which this eventful year has been illumine ^ and illustrated . The Liberator left town at eight o ' clock on Monday morning in h \ a private travelling chaise , accompanied by Mr . Steele . Triumphal arches were thrown aoross tho road oa which h' e passed . At Balrothery , Santry , Swords , and various ! other places , there was scarcely a single house , cottage , or cabin , on the way-side which was not tastefully hung with laurel , in honour of his visit . At half-past ten
o ' clock he arrived at Balbriggan , where he was entertained at a publio breakfast , at which many of the surrounding gentry were guests . The Rev . Mr . Fleming presided , aud several otherj clergy were present . After breakfast an address wras presented , on the part of tne inhabitants of Fingal , to the Liberator , by — Mathows , Esq ., of TaJ \ aer ' 6-wa , ter . Mr . O'Connell having replied ia eloquent and fervid language to the address , took leave of his B * lbriggan friends , and amid the cheers of a great multitude proceeded on his way to Drogheda . At Julienstown he was met by tho trades | of Drogheda , bearing their appropriate banners ; also by several talented bands , which walked by tije side of his carriage . The procession , which preceded him into the town , was three miles in length , p nd the road was crowded so densely that not an inoh of tho surface was seen . The numbers of those who took part in the procession may be averaged on a moderate calculation at 170 . 000 . — Freeman ' s Journal .
More Troops . —The Belfast Chronicle of Monday says— " Two companies of the 43 rd Regiment , at present quartered here , left town on Saturday , for Dungannon , in aid of the civil power , and two more proceed thither this morning . The men did not attend church yesterday , divine service being performed inssead in the Barrack-square by the Rev . R . Ouhon . Double sentries were mounted at night , with sixty rounds of ball cartridge . We are not aware what has given rise to the adoption of these measures here . " Three steamers arrived in Dublin on Monday , from Liverpool with the 2 nd Dragoon Guards ( Queen ' s Bay ' s ) . Lord de Grey rode [ dowa to the North Wall to witness the dib . irkation .
Superseding of Magistrates . —In compliance with the expressed desire of the undernamed gentlemen , writs of supersedeas for their removal from the commission of the peace have ) been issued , namoly , W . F . Finn , ( brother-in-jlaw of Mr . O'Connell ) , for the county of Kilkenny ; Mr . G . Delaney , also for the county of Kilkenny ; Mr . J . H . Talbot , for Wexford ,- Mr . Power , of Gurteen , ( stepson of the Right Hon . R . h . Sbeil )) , for Waterford ; Mr . M . Power , for Cork ; Mr . P . Curtis , for Dublin county ; Mr . F . Cornyn , for jSalvray ; arid Messrs . Ternan , Mathewa , and Ennis , for the county of Louth .
Desperate Afprav between the Police and Peasantry—* Carrichmacross , June 5 . —A most melancholy circumstance has occurred here this day . The police force in town escorted John M'Eneany to the chapels of Maheracloone and Corduff , for the purpose of posting up lejeotments on the chapels , in order to substitute service , this being tho last day . The police who went ou <; with the sergeant in the morning , finding that the people ranged themselves between them and the chapbl doors , and that they could not post the ejectments , very properly returned to town without neing any force , and then Messrs . Wi ' cox and ! Barry went
out with them a second timo , when the people got between them and the chapels in great numbers . Finding the posting could not be effected , Mr . Wilcox todk upon himself to interpret the law of riot , read the Riot Act , and the people not having dispersed in the few minutes allowed , land being in reality ignorant of what the nature of such reading was , Mr . Wilcox gave fhe command u > fire , when a round of ball cartridge was discharged by twenty-eight policemen upon a crowd o | f persons , the most of which , it is alleged , have taken effect . One man was shot dead on the spot , and ] several more dangerously wounded . "— Evening Freeman .

Cheltenham . —Joseph King , the unfortunate victim of the Northleaoh prison , whoi was unable through weakness to give his evidence at the late inquest on Jones , died on last Tuesday week . It was found difficult to hold an inquest , in consequence of the two former victims , Beale and Jones , being witnesses te his ill-treatment . His own depositions , and also those of his parents , went to prove that ho must have died from the eff eta of jthe discipline he was subjected to during his oonfikament . His remains presented a most heartrending appearance , but cannot be described ^ He was interred on Tuesday last . Kis age was twenty-two . [ He was sent to Northleaoh by the Cheltenham magistrates for stealing a piece of stone of but a few pence in value . He was of a healthy disposition , but at distant intervals was subject to aberrations of jintellect . In one of these temporary fits he was induced by some other lads to take the stone , for which he forfeited his life . —Globe . \
