KutKcuDBRiGHTSHinE. — The nomination of candi- dates for the vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Murray was on Friday, when Mr. Maitland, a Roman Catholic, was proposed on the liberal interest (to which Mr. Murray had belonged), and Colonel M'Dowall on the Conservative. The polling was on Monday and Tuesday. The following was the result at the final dose f the poll: Thomas Maitland, Esq., 486; Lieutenant-Colonel M'Dowall, 344. Majority for Mr. Maitland, 1-12.-The contest has been a keen one, though there was no unseemly behaviour excepting on the nomination day, when the people hindered the Con- servative from being heard. BELFAST.—Lord John Chichester was on Wednesday returned, without any opposition, in the place of Sir J. E. Tennent, resigned. His lordship is returned on the high Protestant interest, and is pledged to vote for the repeal of the Maynooth grant. FIUGIITFUL ACCIDENT ON BOARD A STEAM-BOAT.— On Monday evening an accident of a most frightful character occurred on board the Moonlight iron steam- boat. About six o'clock she stopped at Hungerford- market-pier, for the purpose of landing passengers as is usual, a rope was tbrown from the vessel in order to make her fast whilst the passengers walked ashore. It appears that instead of the rope being connected with the dumb lighter it was attached to another vessel, which the captain not being aware of, gave orders for his steamer to depart. The consequence was, that the rope, "hich had bithrrto been slack, became tight; and the foot of a lad, named Thomas Pursell (a passenger on board; was caught in it. The strain was so great that the foot was pulled completely out of the socket at the ankle, and falling overboard, ran down the stream. The consternation produced amongst all on board can be very easily imagined. "Without delay the poor fellow was token to Chai ing-cross-hospitnl. It was then as- certained that, besides the injury above spoken of, the poor fellow's thigh was much shattered, and that the only chance of saving the sufferer's life was to amputate a part of the leg which was broken between the knee and ankle. The lad bore the operation with great fortitude. He remains in a very precarious state.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO GERMANY. ARRIVAL AT MAYKNCE. In a very few minutes after passing Bieberich, the two towers and the whole river-front of the picturesque city of Mayenee were visible; the shore lined with people, flags waving from the mastheads of the shipping, and troops drawn up at the landing-place. As the Fairy" steamed up, salutes were fired on all sides, and there was a very grand and animated reception—as much so as there had been at any place of the kind. Her Majesty and Prince Albert stood upon deck and witnessed the whole scene. On landing, her Majesty was received by Prince William of Prussia, who is the Governor of Mayenee, and a brilliant staff, and nearly 9,000 troops lined the way and kept the ground in and about the Government-house, to which her Majesty was conducted. Such a body of troops had a very imposing appearance as may be supposed. They were mixed, Austrians and Prussians, the city being garrisoned jointly by the two nations on terms of equality. In the evening after dinner her Majesty was serenaded (if the term may be used) with a military concert by torchlight. All the bands of the Austrian and Prussian regiments in the garrison turned out and formed in procession. They then proceeded, accompanied by soldiers bearing torches, to the Hotel de l'Europe, which was occupied by her Majesty and suite while staying there, where they formed a circle opposite the hotel, and played the English national anthem and several airs. The effect of this may be conceived; it was like everything else that has been got up in this country to welcome the Queen—grand and imposing in the extreme. The illumination at Cologne, the fire- works at Stolzenfels, the reception at Bruhl,—all had the same characteristic of magnitude and profuse splen- dour. They were less the compliment of a Sovereign than the tribute of a nation. Her Majesty and the Prince xemained in comparative quiet at Mayenee over Sunday. In the afternoon they attended divine service at the English church, where ser- vice was performed by the Rev. Mr. Dunnage, the English chaplain. In the evening the royal party dined with Prince William of Prussia, at the Government-house. There was very little stir in the town. A few people stood around the Hotel de l'Europe, staring at the sentinels on duty, and hoping to catch a glimpse at; the Queen, and there were one or two arrivals, among them the Grand Duke of Hesse Darmstadt, who at once pro- ceeded to visit her Majesty at her 'hotel. In other respects Mayenee was as quiet as so pretty and populous a place could be. But the ordinary habits of the people are those of an English holiday. They were to be seen, as in most German towns, strolling about the streets, on the quays, and especially on the bridge- of boats, giving themselves up to recreation and pleasure. At two o'clock her Roval Highness the Duchess of Cambridge arrived at the Hotel de l'Europe in two carriages and four from Frankfort. Her Royal High- ness remained and dined with her Majesty and the Prince, and returned to Frankfort in the evening. The Prince of Hesse Darmstadt, the Prince William of Prussia, and the members of her Majesty's suite, also joined the royal dinner party covers were laid for twenty-four. The Queen did not leave the hotel again during the day, although the Duke of Nassau sent a pressing invitation for her Majesty to dine at his fine chateau at Biberich. But independently of her Ma- jesty's strong objection to travelling on a Sunday, arrangements had been made for her to leave Mayenee the following morning at seven o'clock, and the invita- tion was in consequence declined. Her Majesty retired to her apartments early in the evening, and several of the members of the suite went over to see the humours of Wiesbaden, where Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence and several English people of distinction were residing. On Monday murning, soon after seven o'clock, the royal party started for Wurzburg, where it was ex- pected they would arrive at about eight o'clock in the evening. They would go to the Palace of the King of Bavaria, and remain for the night, and early the next day go to Coburg, which, after another tedious day's journey, they were expected to reach on Tuesday evening. Among those who dined with the royal party while with the King of Prussia was the celebrated Baron Humboldt. Baron Bulow was to have been present also, but was prevented by very serious indisposition. ARRIVAL AT FRANKFORT. I I he Queen arrived here on Monday morning weeK, at half-past ten from Mayenee; but as her Majesty required no refreshment, she did not alight, nor make any stay in town. Whilst post-horses were being put to the carriage, her Majesty received the congratulations of the Austrian and other Ambassadors, who were in attendance to receive her Majesty; but there was no reception of the municipal or military functionaries, as was expected. The people came flocking down in great numbers as soon as they heard of the arrival of the Queen and Prince Albert, and a general feeling of dis- appointment appeared to pervade all classes when the carriages drove on through the town, and it became known that her Majesty had determined not to remain here. Her Majesty did not remain more than five,jor at most ten minutes, in the town, and as soon as post- horses were put to the carriage, drove on towards Wurtzburgh, where they arrived at about nine o'clock o* Tuesday evening. Her Majesty slept there that night, and next day proceeded to Coburg; but it was ex- pected that she would not arrive there until Wednesday, and that she would stop at some intermediate place on the road. The King and Queen of the Belgians passed through on Monday en route for Coburgh, where the Duchess of Kent, and a large party had already arrived, and were waiting to receive her Majesty. An invitation has been sent to the Landgrave of Hesse Homburg to join the party at Coburg, and his Highness was expected to ar- rive there in the course of the week. The weather was beautiful, and there was every prospect of its continuance. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, with their suite, ar- rived safely at the palace of the Grand Duke of Saxe Coburg at about half past 5 o'clock on Tuesday evening, having left Wurzburg at half-past 6 in the morning, and travelled all day. There was a very brilliant re- ception at Coburg. [In consequence of the difficulty of transmitting intel- ligence, it was considered probable that no further news of Her Majesty's movements would be learnt in England for some time. If however, anything of im- portance transpires, we shall give it in our Latest News.] *.—

I THE YOUNG QUEEN OF SPAIN'S AMUSE- MENTS. I [From the Times.] "Train up a child in the way he should go" is understood among us to extend to his amusements as well as to his studies. Whether or not the text is recognized as canonical in Spain we cannot take on ourselves to say, but our correspondent at San Sebastian has given us some particulars of the amuse- ments of the young Queen of that unhappy country, from which we infer that the same construction is not put on that text there as in England. The public acts of Royal personages have so important an influence on their subjects that we feel bound not to pass over, as a mere matter of indifferent news, the report of Her Spanish Majesty's instruction during her hours of relaxa- tion. To gratify the pair of Queens, the inhabitants of San Sebastian exerted themselves most loyally, and with complete success. "Both their Majesties appeared much pleased, and the young Queen's eyes looked of a clearer blue than usual," lit up with the pleasure of contemplating the following most gratifying exhibi- tion Between two ships a large rope was hung across the sea, and in the middle teas tied a live goose, whose neck was to be wrung off by menICho Jumped up for this purpose from boats rki,-h passed under the rope—" when the man succeeded in wringing off the goose's neck, down he went into the water, and the boat returned to pick himup." What were the tortures of a score of geese compared with the fun ? The ancient Royal sport of impaling flies must have been nothing to this. The next morning there was a bull-fight, at which the young Queen did not make her appearance. "It was said that her mother does not like this amusement," but it was scandalum magnatum in those who said so, for in the afternoon the queen took her seat in a balcony fitted up for her use, with the Queen-Mother on her right, and the Infanta on her left," and gave, herself, the signal to begin the fight, whereupon the same exploits were repeated as in the morning." "At first the sight was so shocking," says our correspondent, whose nerves were not then stung to the Royal pitch, "I could hardly look at it, for the bull gored the horses frightfully, but still they were obliged to go on." One of the bulls was so quiet that the people called for the dogs, but, though attacked by these animals, who were well tossed, the bull was not roused till they planted fiery darts in his neck, which burst with a loud explosion, and made the animal jump and rear in the air." "The poor horses must hale suffered dreadfully, being goadcd on zeith their entrails trailing oil the (/round." What a delightful sight to feast the eyes of a youthful Queen and her sister The matadors, picadors, and toridors came in for their share of the sport, being crushed several times under their horses," and one was thrown with such force that he was obliged to be taken to the hospital. Though these men were free agents, and have no claim for our sympathy, the gratification of watching their peril and exulting in the injuries they received, must have been as great to the Royal ladies as if the human combatants had acted under as irresistible compulsion as the gored and mangled bulls, dogs, and horses. On the next morning the Royal ladies became devout, and having, with exemplary piety, put on black mantillas instead of bonnets," went to the Church of Santa Maria. There the Royal party first prayed on their knees." and after the music and singing were over the Bi^ shop blessed the Royal family, who left their seats and knelt before the altar." Having done the civil thing," they returned the Royal hotel but, alas for the Bishop, the Alcaldes, the Political Chief, and the clergy, who had duJy "assisted" at the Royal devotions, the Queen would have preferred seeing the bull-fijht, as she is sery partial to that amusement." However, she was not allowed to go ;"—" she did not appear to be well—her face seemed to be swollen and puffed out," and probably the Queen-mother thought her Royal daughter's state of health required some less exciting amusement than that of watching the eurvetings of goaded horses trampling on their own entrails. The Queen had a sad loss, for the three bulls killed 11 horses, and the last was so furious that he killed four, attacking these poor creatures several times, and goring them dreadfully." How children should be brought up in Spain we leave to others to decide, but that the education of its young Queen is conducted on somewhat erroneous principles we must take the liberty to hold. Train up a child in the way he should go, and when lie is old he will not clepartfrom it." Inure a Royal child to delight in wanton cruelty, to take greater pleasure in watching the tortures of unoflending animals and the shedding of human as well as be&tial blood, than in the senices of religion, and then expect her sceptre tu be the rod of riierey Like master like man, like Queen like subjects there was plenty of sport, which appears as gratifying to the natives as it is sickening to foreigners. Hogarth's "Progress of Cruelty" is u picture of Spain. The transition from gloating over the agonies of a goose to authorizing all the atrocities of an itatde siege may be regarded as easy and natural for Her Most Catholic Ma- jesty, and Spaniards may yet rejoice in their Queen's having been trained up to go in the footsteps of the military butchers who figure most prominently in the periodical revolutions of their country. That bull-fights are a national sport may be consi- dered by some a reason for considering them compara- tively harmless in their effect on the people of Spain but how must their feelings be blunted if the exhibition of cruelty and bloodshed can have no injurious effect on them ? How low in the scale of humanity must they not already be sunk Spanish pride, Spanish honour, Spanish independence are fine high-sounding terms, but they cannot render us deaf to Spanish barbarity. Can an Englishman imagine Queen Victoria taking the Princess Royal one morning to a cock-match, the next to a prize-fight and the third reluctantly to church? If he can, his next task will be to fancy the storm of execration which would ring from the cliffs of Dover to the Hebrides. Every country, city, town, and parish throughout the land would meet and denounce, in lan- guage which the certainty of an immediate change of dynasty would rob of no particle of its strength, the outrage on the nation. But they manage these things better" at San Sebastian. The Spaniards' wrath fell on the bull, or horse, or matador who flinched, and the howls of the people when displeased were dreadful," to the foreigner, but sweeter than church music to the ears of the Queen of Spain.

THE IRISH ORANGEMEN. GREAT PROTESTANT DEMONSTRATION. The Irish Orangemen had another grand Protestant demonstration" at Lisburn, on Wednesday week. The Orange party estimate the numbers present at 35,000, 40,000, or 50,000. The Times reporter says that these numbers are almost above the mark as those given respecting the repeal meetings, and sets down the meeting at 13,000. The banners were similar to those at EnniskilIen-" The Boyne," No surrender," &c. The Marquis of Downshire occupied the chair. In allusion to the dismissal of Mr. James Watson, for attending an Orange meeting, the noble marquis said- A more unjust, a more tyrannical proceeding, never was committed at the hands of any government (tre- mendous cheering). He said that aclvisedly-liaving had the opinion of the most eminent counsel in Dublin to the same effect. He was not a man to defy anybody but, speaking for himself, he did defy the government to justify that act (loud cries of "So do we!—the meeting defies them !") Mr. Watson, a venerable, hale old gentleman, arrived amid' the most vociferous exhibitions of delight and affection and advancing to the front of the platform, was lifted bodily from the floor by the noble chairman, and placed on the table, where, with uncovered head, lie received new proofs of regard and sympathy from the whole meeting. The Dean of Dromore, in allusion to Mr. Watson's dismissal, said the attack in this instance came from the very persons who eleven years ago put forward the Protestants of Ireland to express their opinion with regard to the government of that day (vociferous ap- plause). Since that they have deceived us (loud cheers, and cries of They did, they did, the villains ;) but they never shall again (tremeudons applause, and shouts of N-ever, never.") Mr. Richardson said there could not be found an instance in history of any man's having betrayed such a high trust as that placed in the hands of Sir R. Peel (a voice, Except Judas;" cheers). The object of popery was to dethrone the monarch—that of protestantism to support the throne. (A voice, "'Ve'll all stand for the Queen as long as she is a Protestant; but no longer !") Protestants had no notion of putting that which was declared to be damnable and idolatrous on the same footing with that which they believed to be the truth on the authority of the living oracles of God (loud cheers). Such conduct would not be tolerated. How glad their enemies would be to see such a meetiag of Orangemen round Dan O'Connell, that the union might be repealed (cries of No Repeal never, never, never! We'll never submit to that.") In conclusion, the speaker said that the name of Peel would be handed down to posterity as a disgrace to the page which recorded the history of British statesmen (loud cheers.) Colonel Verner read the following resolution :—" Re- solved, that we consider the removal of James Watson, Esq., of Brookil (a gentleman respected and venerated by all who know him), from the deputy-lieutenancy and magistracy of the county of Antrim, to be a wanton exercise of arbitrary power, unjustified by the letter or the spirit of the statutes which have been made the pretext for his dismissal, and at direct variance with the spirit of the constitution." He continued to ask, if there was a man present who did not concur in every word ? (cheers, and cries" No !") That cry would re- sourid throughout the kingdom. lie (Colonel Verner) had been made a similar victim on a former occasion for introducing the same principles (loud cheers.) There was this difference between the two instances. He had been deprived of office by his opponents. That was right and proper. lie liked an open, upright, straight- forward, honest enemy (loud cheers.) But who deprived Mr. Watson of his commission? (tremendous applause.) -of those baubles which were a source of constant trouble to the possessor ? Why, the very people for whom he had been labouring for the last 50 or 60 years of his life (great applause.) Let the country gentlemen recollect that if they did not come forward now they might regret the day when they deserted the people (loud applause.) "No surrender" had been the cry at Derry, at Aughrim, at the Boyne (vociferous cheering.) No surrender" was now their cry, and No surrender" would it be again so long as they had a voice or arm to raise to vindicate it. (The gallant colonel retired amid a hurricane of cheers ) Mr. Hudson said the Orange lion had risen in his might (loud cheers.) He stood beside the crown, where he had ever stood (cheers.) His roar was heard abroad (loud cheers)—his mane was erect (loud cheers)—and repeal, popery, and peelery were already crouching before him (loud cheers.) The Rev. Mr. Leslie animadverted upon the conduct of Lord Londonderry in absenting himself from the meeting, and went on to observe that the government had been opposed to every good work-to the church- —to the constitution—and to the magistracy (loud cheers); and quoted from St. Paul to show that the meeting was not to care for the opposition of govern- ment, as it was not properly founded. Government ought to be a terror to popery, and all its abominations of iniquity, and all its works (cheers), instead of to truth and righteousness. He feared that they were going to pension those "infernal priests" (loud cheers.) Their cry was, "More money—more priests" (groans.) He could tell them that Sir Robert Peel told a lie (cheers), when he said that the priests were ill-fed and slept three in a bed (cheers and laughter.) They had plenty of beef and plenty of mutton-they wore long gaiters and black coats—they were crammed full of good things, and all the difference was, that on Fridays, instead of beef and mutton, they were crammed with good fish (cheers and laughter.) They were told, indeed that this was a legacy of Mr. Pitt. Who the devil was Mr. Pitt? (hear, cheers, and laughter.) Christians don't know his name. It was not to be found in the book of life. Who was he to leave them a legacy? (cheers.) Let him be 50 Pitts ay, of the bottomless pit (cheers)—he had no right to do any such thing (laughter.) An address, praying for the re-instalment of Mr. Watson in the magistracy, was then agreed to. The different lodges then marched off the ground in good order, and so ended the Lisburn demonstration.

EXHUMATION AFTER SEVENTEEN MONTHS' INTER- MENT.—Considerable sensation was, last week, excited in Bath and Clifton by an inquiry which took place before the coroner as to the cause of the death of Lieu t.- Gen. Dick, who died on the loth of March, 1841. The deceased was a gentleman of large fortune, who formerly resided at Clifton, but towards the close of his life he went to reside at Bath, where he kept a large establish- ment, and moved in the highest circles of society. The inquiry was instituted at the instance of his eldest son, George Dick, Esq., who fills an office in her Majesty's civil service in the East Indies, and who has come from Mazoompore for the express purpose of causing it to be made. At the time of General Dick's death the only members of his family residing with him were his own daughter, a Mrs. Brigdallj whose husband formerly lived in Bristol, but is now out of England, and her son (by a former marriage) a Mr. Thomas. At the period that Mr. George Dick left England a will existed in his favour. An affectionate correspondence was kept up between himself and his parent till the time of his death, after which a will was produced, leaving the general's property to the grandson, Mr. Thomas. The death of the general was rather sudden, and this fact together with the other circumstances, had tended to raise a suspicion of foul play. The coroner and the jury assembled at the cemetery at Bathwick, for the purpose of witnessing the exhumation of the remains, and Mr. Herapath, the chemist, and Mr. George Bar- rette, surgeon, attended to make a post-mortem exami- nation and, after an address from the coroner, the jury proceeded with him to the tomb, from which the coffin was taken and opened in their presence, and the remains were identified. THE KING OF PRUSSIA'S TOAST AT Ditiiii.The Monitcur Beige contains the following, under date Co- logne, 13th August:—"The following are the exact words of the toast which the King of Prussia gave yesterday at the dinner at Bruhl, and which was received with the liveliest enthusiasm by the august guests:— Sirs—Fill your glasses to the brim The burthen of the toast is a word (un cri) which resounds with an inexpressible charm in all British and German hearts. One day it sounded as the sign of a fraternity of arms, triumphant upon a field of battle with difficulty gained. This day, after a peace of thirty years' duration, the fruit of those arduous days, it resounds in the lands of Germany, on the banks of the noble stream of the Rhine. That toast is her Majesty, the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland. Long live the Queen Victoria and her illustrious Consort.'

THE RELIGIOUS MOVEMENTS IN GERMANY. I —SERIOUS RIOTS. The religious movements in Germany, that originated and have been mainly carried on by John Ronge, a priest in an obscure town in Silesia, have now assumed a most formidable aspect. Renge, it will be remembered, became disgusted with the impious doings of Arnoldi, Bishop of Treves, in exhibiting in the Cathedral a vest- ment which he pretended was the coat worn by Jesus Christ, and by the touch or even the sight of which miracles were wrought. The humble pastor, indignant at the blasphemous audacity of his ecclesias tical superior, addressed to him a letter of bold and fervent remon- strance. The effect of this address, copies of which were immediately circulated in great numbers throughout all Germany, was quite astonishing and following it up, aided by the co-operation of many influential parties, both lay and clerical, John Ronge has already made wonderful progress towards the attainment of the great object which he was induced to undertake, the establish- ment of a German Catholic Church. We deeply regret to have to record, however, that serious and fatal riots have arisen during his recent proceedings. The population of Leipsic, that had shown already great sympathies for the new German Catholic Church, took advantage of a review of the Rural Guards to make a violent manifestation, which led to deplorable tumults. His Royal Highness Duke John, only brother of the King of Saxony, Commandant-General of the Rural Guards of the Kingdom, arrived at Leipsic on the 12th inst., to inspect this militia. The Prince is, it is said, a zealous Catholic, and passes for having contributed, in the Council of Ministers, to the measures taken against the proselytes of the Abbe Ronge in Saxony, who has been prohibited to open churches or to celebrate publicly divine service. W hen the Prince presented himself before the Rural Guard, the commanding officer, accord- ing to usage, cried out first, Prince John for ever (Vive le Prince Jean). The cry was received by a general murmur; nevertheless, no other manifestation troubled the review. It was when the troops filed off that symptoms of violent animosity broke out against the person of the Prince in the ranks of the militia, and among the population assembled on the spot. The Commandant having repeated the cry, Vive le Prince Jean!" there arose from all parts confused cries of Ronge for ever!" "Down with the Jesuits!" Down with the hypocrites The Prince after the review went to the Hotel of Prussia, and was followed by the whole population, who did not cease to repeat the cries of "Down with the Jesuits!" "Ronge for ever The guard of honour of the Prince used their efforts to maintain order, and to clear the square, but they were forced back by the mass of the population that invaded all the adjacent streets. The Prince then gave orders to a battalion of infantry of the line to take up their position before his hotel. During this time the population continued their turbulent manifestations, and sang first the celebrated chorus of Luther, Eine festeburgh ist unser Goth" (Our God is a fortress), and afterwards a strophe of a song from the Brigands of Schiller, "Ein freies leben fuhren wir" (We lead a free and charming life). The population, growing more and more excited, began to throw stones at the windows of the apartments inhabited by the Prince, and broke several of them. The Commander of the troops (then about half-past 10 in the evening) not having been able to disperse the population, gave orders to fire upon the people. It is asserted that this discharge took place without any previous notice having been given to the people, or that it was given in such a manner as not to be heard but by those nearest the troops. The bullets, in fact, struck, in particular, inoffensive persons, who stood at some distance from the scene of disorder, and on the parade in front of the hotel. The number of the wounded has been estimated at 30, fourteen of whom since died. Among the latter was a Government officer, a police agent, and the father of a family, standing at the time before his door, inquiring what was the cause of the tumult. This event exasperated the population and, to prevent more serious consequences, the authorities assembled together the Rural Guards, who succeeded at about 2 o'clock in the morning in dis- persing the crowds. The Prince quitted Leipsic in the morning, but was again hissed by the populace in the streets he passed through, and stones were also thrown at his coach. The troop was ordered to the barracks, and the authorities sent for a battalion of infantry to reinforce the garrison. This battalion was received by the hisses of the populace, who manifested the greatest animosity against the troop. The municipal council ordered the severest measures for the maintenance of order. It was occupied, at the departure of the courier, in drawing up an energetic proclamation addressed to the inhabitants. A letter from Halberstadt, dated August 10, gives the following particulars of the preaching of John Rouge On Wednesday afternoon Abbe Ronge, who has nume- rous partisans in this place, delivered his first sermon at Halberstadt, in the open air, and in the yard of the cathedral, before several thousand persons of every age and sex. As soon as he had pronounced the last words of his sermon, which were these,—" Yes, brethren, Rome ought to fall, and she will fall!" a rustling noise was heard among the portion of the audience nearest the pulpit, when a salesman, well known for the fervour of his religious belief, rushed forward after Abbe Ronge, who had just left the pulpit, and endeavoured to throw a stone at him. The persons who were near this fanatic held him back and prevented him realizing his culpable intention but at the same instant a young man struck, with a heavy stick, a violent blow upon the back of Abbe Ronge, who immediately fell on the ground. The Abbe got up and ran away, but soon afterwards was further ill-treated by several other men and it was only with great difficulty, and through the protection afforded him by a great number of his friends, that he succeeded in gaining the hotel he lodged at. Some moments after, a crowd of his partisans walked through the streets of the town, and threw stones at the windows of the houses they thought to be inhabited by Roman Catholics. 'The police put all their agents on foot to appease the tumult, but their efforts were useless; the rioters breathed only rage and vengeance. The military were called out, some detachments of infantry and cavalry appeared, and after having ordered the rebels to retire, which was not obeyed, the troops charged them and blood flowed in abundance. The German Catholics went in crowds to the Rue de la Digue, where dwelt the salesman who had endeavoured to throw a stone at Abbe Ronge; they barricaded themselves in this narrow street, and demolished from top to bottom the house of this individual. It was only then they separated, and that tranquillity was re-established in Halberstadt. The number of the killed and wounded is not at present known that of the persons arrested is upwards of 150. The Royal Court of Magdeburg has instituted an inquiry into the affair, and will judge it when the inquiry has terminated. A letter from Heidelbergh, August 1.5, says, ■' Yesterday took place the first burial of a member of the Germaan y Catholic Church. As this church has not as yet any ecclesiastics, the Catholic clergy were applied to to officiate, and at once complied with the demand, requesting merely that no allusion to the German Catholic Church should be made over the grave of the deceased." The latest accounts from Leipsic are to the 15th, upon which day the corpses of the fourteen persons killed by the troops during the recent riots were solemnly interred. Contrary to previous expectation, no dis- turbance took place on the occasion, and the peace of the town is no longer in danger of further outbreaks. The funeral was attended by the whole of the communal guard, both cavalry and infantry, by the students of the university, and by the members of the corporation. Several speeches were made over the graves, and at the entrance to the cemetery. The crowd was not admitted into the interior of the cemetery, as it was feared that some disorders might take place. ♦

We understand that a company is now being formed for the prosecution of the northern seal and whale fisliin?? This undertaking is of national importance, and should be backed by all the influence of Government. ANNUAL REVENUE OF CORPORATIONS.—An abstract of the accounts of the various municipal boroughs in England and Wales, from the 1st September, 1843, to the 31st August, 1844, has just been presented to par- liament, from which we select the following :s—Liver- pool, £ 305, 799; Manchester, E59,876 Bristol, £ 48,434; Hull, E31,390 Newcastle-upon-Tyne, £ 56,157; Ply- mouth, 1:12,290 Portsmouth, Southampton, £ 5808; Sunderland, E2414 Swansea, £ 28,270; Great Yarmouth, £6262; Cardiff, JE:2337 Carmarthen, £ 1017; Neath, £ 1579. At Pembroke, Newport, (Monmouthshire), Monmouth, Bristol, Brecon, and Aberystwyth, the balance is on the wrong side of the account, the expenditure exceeding the income, in a greater or less degree. WORK FOR TUE NEXT SESSION.—A list of sixteen notices of motions has been placed by various Hon. Mem- bers upon the order-book of the House of Commons for the next session" of Parliament. This is an unusually small number of notices, as there have frequently been nearly 50 on such occasions and at the termination of the last session but one, there was a list of intended motions at least double the length of the present one. Several of these notices, however, are upon subjects of very general importance and interest. Thns Mr. Ewart has signified his intention in the course of the ensuing session, of moving for the total repeal of the punish- ment of death." The same Hon. Member also intends to move for a reduction of the duty on tea, an amendment that, if carried, would be very generally welcome. Mr. Escott likewise proposes to aid in the endeavours to take off taxes upon food. He has given notice that he will move that the maize," commonly called Indian corn," be admitted into the ports of the United King- dom duty free. Mr. Mackinnon will also then resume his efforts to obtain the abolition of the custom of inter- ments within the precincts of the metropolis and large cities, and the suppression of the nuisance of smoke. It may be observed, however, that none of the notices given for next session can be said to be of a political (that is, party") character, if an exception be made in the case of Colonel Verner's motion for an address on the subject of the removal of Mr. Watson from the commission-of the peace and deputy lieutenancy of the county of Antrim." All the rest of the notices refer to the internal improvement of the country, the relief of the people from improper or burdensome taxation, the amelioration of their condition, and the like.

MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. We understand that Government has appropriated 925,000 of the grant for the improvement of harbours to that of Harwich, and that the works will be com- menced almost immediately. The question, whether a French patent obtained by an Englishman will hold good in France, has been de. cided in the affirmative, upon appeal, by the Cour Royale. The patentee is Mr. Elkinton, for the process of gilding by immersion. Reports are current in France of a partial modifica- tion of the Ministry. Marshal Bugeaud, the hero of Algerinc razzias and Arab suffocation, is said to be on his return, and likely to replace Marshal Soult as one of the Ministry, if not the head. At the half-yearly meeting of the Taff Vale Railway Company on Wednesday week, the undertaking was re- ported to be in an improved & improving condition. The profits of the past half-year (after payment of the work- ing expenses, the interest on bonds and capital stock, and a dividend equal to 5 per cent. per annum on 6,000 quarter shares) amount to E309 2s., which, with £079 8s. lOd. undivided last half-year, give a disposable balance of £ 6,888 10s. 10d., from which a dividend to the holders of original shares, at the rate of f3 14s. 6d. per cent. per annum on the amount of capital standing to the credit of each old share on the 31st of December last, or £ 2 6s. lid per share for the half-year, was or- dered to be paid. The marriage of the Rev. Mr. Dalton, chaplain to the Bishop of London, with Miss Bloomfield, the right rev. prelate's daughter, was solemnised on Thursday, at the palace, Fulham. Sir J. R. G. Graham, Bart., has been pleased to ap- point William Bramire, Esq., and George Darby, Esq, Inclosure Commissioners for England and Wales. The Brazil mail conveys the welcome news for our merchants and manufacturers, if true, that the rough draft of a treaty of friendship and alliance is brought, by the terms of which Great Britain is to be placed on the footing of the most favoured nations in all respects. We are requested to state that the Rev. Charles Wetherell has not for nearly two years been residing in his parish of Byfield, or performing any of the duty there; for his living having been put under seques- tration, the Bishop of the diocese, by virtue of the power given him under the Pluralities Act, placed a resident curate in the parish. Papers are laid before counsel to advise as to the course to be pursued by the Bishop.- Titties. By an act of last session, persons charged with felony or misdemeanour, against whom no bill shall be found, or who shall be acquitted, are in no case to be charged with any fees. The act is the 8th and 9th of Victoria, cap. 94, which was passed to explain and amend the 55th George III. c 50. The twenty-fifth annual report of her Majesty's Com- missioners for Building New Churches has just been issued. During the past year, it appears, 17 churches have been completed, in which accommodation has been provided for 12,618 persons, including 8,621 free seats for the use of the poor. In the whole 343 churches have now been completed, and provision has therein been made for 402,259 persons, including 225,217 free seats appropriated to the use of the poor. A remarkable case of fraud upon a railway company was brought before the police magistrate at Clerkenwell a few days since. A person of the name of Edward Yearhill, said to be an artist, was charged with having subscribed the contract deed of the South Midland (Northampton and Leicester) Railway Company for the sum of JE800 (upon which he paid the deposit money), in the name of Colonel Howard Stanley, of the Home Park, Windsor, there being no such person in existence. The prisoner was remanded for a week. A somewhat similar case was heard at the same court. A respectable looking man, calling himself Charles Lander, was charged with forging the name of Mr. Ferdinand de Lisle, merchant and banker, of the firm of De Lisle, Janorin, and De Lisle, Devonshire-square, for £500, to the subscription deed of the South Midland (Northampton and Leicester) Railway Company, with intent to defraud the said company. The number of shares was twenty-five, at £ 20 each. The prisoner described himself as a land-surveyor, residing at 11, Webber-street, Blackfriars-road. Mr. De Lisle appeared before the magistrate and swore that he never "signed the deed nor authorised any one to sign it for him. The prisoner was committed, but afterwards admitted to bail. At the Liverpool Assizes, in the case of William Clap- ham, charged with having murdered Abraham Tweedale, a prisoner in the New Baily, Manchester, on the 2d of August, by striking him on the head with a bar of iron, a jury was empanneiled to say whether the prisoner was of sane mind, and capable of pleading to the charge. After hearing the evidence of the surgeon to the gaol in which he was last confined, the jury found that he was insane. The judge ordered that he should be kept in close confinement until her Majesty's pleasure be known. A tremendous storm of thunder and lightning, accom- panied by violent gusts of wind, has visited Paris and the neighbouring country. In Paris the damage was limited to the demolition of chimneys and roofs, but in the neighbourhood of Rouen the effects were much more severe. In a valley about three leagues from Rouen three manufactories were thrown down, while the people were at work within them. A vast number of persons were killed and wounded, but the particulars were not known. Letters were received in Paris, which stated that by the last accounts upwards of 100 bodies had been taken out of the ruins. The Abbe Chardavoine, of the diocese of La Rochelle, has just embraced Protestantism. The Prince De Beyhcs, a young man about 23 years of age, and connected with one of the noble families of France, has been convicted of forging checks in imi- tation of those issued by the Paris Jockey Club. The prince was sentenced to three years' transportation. At Liverpool, on Wednesday, a breach of promise of marriage case was quietly settled, to the great disap- pointment of a crowded court, including a large propor- tion of ladies. It is said that the amount of damages agreed upon were £ 4000 On Saturday morning, a poor woman of the name of Walters, residing in a kitchen or cellar in Dudley-street, (late Monmouth-street), went out at an early hour to purchase water cresses for the purpose of vending, leav- ing her husband and infant asleep in bed on the floor. The father of the child was awoke by the screams of the infant: on looking to see what was the cause, in turn- ing down the sheet, a large rat ran from under it, and escaped into a hole. The child had been dreadfully bitten in the left breast and side of the neck. The parts bitten have since been cauterised. A destructive fire broke out in the sugar warehouse of Messrs. Parry, and Lightfoot, at Liverpool, on Thursday night. The damage done is estimated at between £ 5,000 and £ 6,000. A series of private experiments have been conducted on the London and Croydon line of railway, and will be continued for the next few days, for the purpose of test- ing the powers of atmospheric propulsion, and the most marked and decided success has attended all the experi- ments that have been hitherto performed. The Hon. Greville Knox, a young gentleman of about 14 years of age, who was a pupil of the Rev. B. S. Vallack, of St. Buseau, Devonshire, was drowned whilst bathing in Saltash-passage, on Monday week. It is said that Sir R. Peel has settled, out of his own private purse, E400 a-year on Mr. Bonham, late of the Ordnance. Mr. Green, the celebrated aeronaut, has had a narrow escape. He ascended on Wednesday night from Vaux- hall-gardens, in the midst of a shower of fireworks, with the intention of landing immediately outside of the me- tropolis, but a gale of "wind swept him, in thirty-five minutes, as far as Gravesend. Here he found the car of the balloon in a ditch, and got out after sustaining considerable injury. A gust of wind swept away the balloon with all its apparatus, and it was not found till next day. The ship Eveline, from Killala to Quebec, with pas- sengers, foundered on her voyage out but, fortunately for the passengers, a vessel was seen at a considerable distance, which at once bore down on the ill-fated Eveline, and succeeded in rescuing 150 fellow-creatures from a watery grave. In less than two hours the Eve- line went down. The deaths in New York, for the week ending 21st ult., amounted to no fewer than 471 more than 250 above the usual averages. Hot weather is stated to be the cause, there being no fewer than 30 cases of coup de soliel, or sun-stroke, besides numerous other cases indi- rectly proceeding from the intense heat. For eight days in the Atlantic cities, the thermometer rose to a range of from 98 degrees to 102 degrees in the shade. There are several London pickpockets making a suc- cessful tour of the Rhine, in consequence of the Queen's visit to Germany. A vessel arrived at London from Holland on Tuesday with a cargo of no fewer than 30,000 round cheeses. On Sunday, about four o'clock in the afternoon, the tall chimney of the cotton mill belonging to the Throstle" nest Company, at Blackburn, fell with a tremendous crash, burying in the ruins a number of women and children in the street below, some of whom are so seriously injured, that in two or three cases there are no hopes of life. «

A WORD FOR GOVERNESSES.—Governesses arc fre- quently handsome—they must be clever and accom- plished. If I had the choice of a wife, I would marry a governess, but I recommend all bachelors called upon to marry, to look for partners in the ranks of pretty governesses. They will there find beautiful girls, a little chastened by adversity perhaps, but free from all those foolish fantasies which modern mothers and modern fashions so generally instil into the minds of young ladies.—Eraser. A SUARP NOTICE.—We copy the following from the Manx newspaper Our subscribers ought to remem- ber that our money is earned when the paper is de- livered, or an advertisement inserted. It neither squares with our interest nor inclination to earn it a second time by calling six times for six and sixpence." HACK BROUGHAM FOR SALE—In consequence of the termination of the London season. It has had several coats of various colours, and is very light in the head. To any party wanting a thing of the sort, the Hack Brougham will be sold a bargain. It may be had by the job, or will be sold outright to any one disposed to deal liberally.—Punch. An Irish gentleman taking a book to the binder was asked it lie would have it bound in Russia ?--to which he replied, No, by Jakers, that 'ud be a trifle too far to send for it. I'd much rather you'd get it dene in Dublin." THE FINANCES OF GREAT BRITAIN .-From the important Parliamentary paper recently published, con- taining an account of the public income and expenditure of the United Kingdom for the years 1843, 1844, and 1845, the following facts may be collected. It appears from the return thus printed, that the national income has been gradually increasing every year, whilst the concurrent expenditure has remained comparatively stationary. In 1842 the income amounted to 1:51,120,040, and the expenditure to E55,195,159, show- ing a deficiency of E4,075,119 in 1843 the income amounted to f 56,935,022, and the expenditure to £ 55,501,740, showing a surplus of LI,433,232 and in 1844 the income of the country amounted to £ 58,590,217, and the expenditure to E55,103,647, leaving a surplus of £ 3,486,570, which, together with the former surplus of EI,433,281, formed an aggre- gate surplus of E4,919,852, which more than covered the large deficiency of EI,075,119 noticed in 1842. The sources whence our enormous revenue is derived chiefly consist of the following items. We select the component parts of the income received in 1844-45 ( £ 58,590,217). Customs and Excise figure for ;E38,576,684, the relative proportions of each being 1:23,000,000 and £ 15,000,000 in round numbers; stamps for £ 7,327,803; assessed and land taxes for £4,427,870; the property and income tax for £ 5,329,601 the Post office for EI,705,068 Crown lands for £ 441,583; or- dinary revenues for E394,598 and Chinese ransom money (an extraordinary and special item) for £ 385,008. The expenditure is also divided into a variety of items. Last year the cost of collecting the Customs and revenue amounted to a sum of JE:1,406,486, and with the pre- ventive service charges amounted to £ 1,967,584. The expenses of collecting the stamps and assessed taxes amounted to £ 2,860,536. Thus the mere expense of collecting the revenue amounted to nearly five millions sterling, or about 1-12th. The civil Government costs the country £ 1,618,265. This includes a sum of E371,800, from which the Queen's privy purse is sup- plied, and the salaries and expenses of the Royal house- hold are defrayed a sum of E277,000 for allowances to the Royal family; E26,440 for the Irish viceroyalty £100,646 for the salaries and expenses of both houses of Parliament; E538,593 for "civil departments," in- cluding superannuation allowanoi* £ 277,501 for other annuities; and £ 6,285 for pensions charged on the civil list. The Queen's privy purse does not exceed, we believe, an annual sum of about £60,000 or 1:70,000 out of the whole £ 371,800. Under the expenses of justice is included a sum of ;E559,782 for courts of justice, £694,312 for police and criminal prosecutions, and E703,111 for houses of correction, &c. The dip- lomatic expenses amount to £ 380,609 annually, inclu- ding £ 181,186 for the salaries and pensions of foreign Ministers, Plenipotentiaries, and Ambassadors; £ 129,303 for Consuls' salaries, and superannuation allowances; and E70,120 for expenses of out-fits, &c. The above sums are charged on the Consolidated fund." Of those raised by annual votes of supplv, there are 1;6,178,714 for the maintenance of the army, E5,858,219 for that of the navy, and £1,921,312 for the expense of the Ordnance. BRANDESTON HALL ESTATE, SUFFOLK.—This pro- perty has been doomed to strange vicissitudes latterly. The history of the hall may be traced to the time of our Queen Elizabeth, and its architectural form is in strict keeping with that order. It has been the residence, from time immemorial, of the most respectable nobles and esquires of the county. It was only about twenty years since Mr. Mills, a gentleman of respectability, became the possessor. Four years ago, fortune (that uncertain jade) forsook him, and untoward circumstances compelled him reluctantly to quit it. It was then placed in the hands of trustees, who ordered a sale to take place, under the directions of Mr. George Robins. At that period, land was heavy in the market, and with all his exertions he failed to obtained the reserved price, which was then 35,000 guineas. It should be remarked that the hall, from lack of means, has fallen a good deal into decay, and the stabling, once the pride of former owners, who hunted this country, were laid prostrate for want of means. It is environed by a pretty park of 80 acres, with the river Deben flowing through the estate for two miles, and the domain extends to near 700 acres of very fine convertible land. Connected with it are the extensive manors, royalties, and immunities a respectable tenantry occupy the farms at EI,000 a year and the mansion, when placed in good order, with the park and manors, would be worth £ 300 a year. The outlay to restore the house and the farms will not exceed E4,000, when the annual value, for the whole, will be E 1,400 or £1,500 a year. Such is an outline of the property under review. The sale, about four years ago, failed (as it has already been stated), and two years since Mr. Robins was deputed by the mortgagees to sell it peremptorily. The result was, a purchaser was found at the auction for 30,000 guineas, independently of the timber, which is estimated at 4,000 guineas. This gen- tleman not quite understandable, became an unwilling purchaser, and sought relief in the Court of Chancery, where, upon a point of technicality alone, he avoided his contract. A third sale took place this season (in June), when this trivial flaw was provided for by more strin- gent conditions of sale, and it was announced for peremptory sale. Much excitement prevailed through- out the county, but prejudice was strong in respect to a doubtful title, and it was sold to a friend of Mr. Robins's (to include the timber) for thirty thousand guineas. An arrangement, however, was shortly afterwards made, by which the contract was consigned to Mr. R. At the sale Mr. Austin, the eminent counsel (more especially in the railways, who, it seems, was born hard by) bid £ 30,000. Mr. Robins's friend very soon sold his bargain to him, who purchased it solely for investment, and took immediate steps to have his architect to look over the estate, and adjudge what was necessary to render it a fit abode for the M.P. for Ipswich, and to make all his tenantry comfortable, indeed he ordered a thorough repair of every farm. The result was, an outlay in view of four thousand pounds. During this progress it became known that Mr. George Robins was the bonâfide buyer. No one doubted that his prudence would not allow him to hazard 30,000 guineas on a doubtful title, and still less to doubt his judgment as to the value. Prejudice soon gave way, and Mr. Austin, after having reconsidered his previous determination, thought he could not do better than tread in the steps of the new possessor. A negotiation commenced, and on Wednesday last, for certain VERY WEIGHTY REASONS (we know not how many thousands of pounds), Mr. Robins assigned his contract to the King of the Rail- ways.-Sun. ARTIFICIAL TFETii.-Tlie attention of those who have lost their teeth, is especially directed to the fol- lowing observations :-The extraction of the few teeth or roots which may remain in the mouth, is insisted upon by many dentists, previously to preparing arti- ficial teeth. This is not necessary, as by Mr. Thomas's improved method they can be fixed in the mouth, with the greatest accuracy, answering most fully every pur- pose of articulation and mastication and so perfectly natural in appearance as to defy detection by the closest observer, without extracting any teeth or stumps, or giving any pain whatever. The new Incorrodible Teeth invented by Mr. Thomas, Surgeon Dentist, 64, Berners street, Oxford-street, London, will be found much more economical than most others.

AGRICULTURE, MARKETS, &c. (From the Mark Lane Express" of Monday)- In all the southern parts of the kingdom very beauU" ful weather has been enjoyed since Wednesday, but a some of the northern counties of England, as also ld Scotland, the rain did not cease as soon as with us, an considerable damage appears to have been done along the eastern coa3t, by the extreme violence of the wial and torrents of rain, to the outstanding crops. On the whole, therefore, the prospects in regard to the harvest have in no degree improved, notwithstanding the late auspicious change in the weather; indeed there is too much reason to fear that, however favourable the month of September may be for the ingathering, the previously sustained injury will render it impossible for an avera ge crop of Wheat to be secured. Complaints of the infe- riority of the quality as well as of the acreable deficiency are general from all those quarters where progress ha* been made with reaping, and we much fear that these will increase in proportion as the harvest is proceeded with. Attention has of late been more directed to home grown than free foreign Wheat, and the transactions in the latter have since our last been on a comparatively retail scale. The millers have experienced considerable difficulty in effecting sales of town-manufactured Flour; quotations of the article have nevertheless been steadily supported. The arrivals of English Barley have been very trivial, and the present duty being too high to admit of entries for home consumption, without loss to im- porters, the little which has arrived from abroad has been landed uuder lock. The reduced state of the stocks of free Barley, and the belief that the outstanding crop has sustained more or less injury, have induced holders of this grain to exhibit a somewhat firmer tone, and the sales effected since our last have been at prices not previously obtainable. The demand for Malt has evi- dently improved of late, particularly for the finer sorts, and c ioice qualities have been taken by the ale-brewers at slightly enhanced terms. With English and Scotch Oats the market has been sparingly supplied; having, however, received 20,031 qrs. from Ireland, and 11,931 qrs. from abroad, there has been no scarcity of this grain. 8. S.

SMITHFIELD MARKET. Since this day se'nnight, the imports of live stock from abroad for our market have consisted of 43 Oxen and Cows, together with 100 Sheep, 20 and 6 Calves, per the Neptune and John Bull, from Hamburgh; as also 113 Beasts, 60 Sheep, 20 Lambs, and 14 Calves, per the Batavier, Ocean, and William Jolliffe. The arrivals at Hull have amounted to 126 Beasts and 200 Sheep chiefly from Rotterdam. Compared with those on Mon- day last, the numbers of Beasts from our own districts have been on the decrease, and of but middling quality, though there were some well made up animals amongst them. Although the Beef trade was by no means active, the primest Scots sold steadily, at prices quite equal to those paid last week, the middling and inferior breeds moving off slowly at barely late rates. The numbers of Sheep were small for the time of the year yet they were fully adequate to meet the wants of the buyers. Calves were in moderate supply and heavy demand, at last week's prices, Prime small Pigs sold freely, otherwise the Pork trade was dull. From Ireland we had nearly 200 on offer.
