Ramhiiay On Ventilation. Mr. Llamshay, J...
we have been half suffocated during the last two hours this morning by the windows being closed . There are a great number of persons here , and I shall mark ray sense of the disobedience very strongly , because I don ' t think it is the business of the Judge to waste his time with a matter such as this . [ The court-keeper , John Whiteside , then appeared . ] The Judge : Court-keeper , why didn't you open the ¦ windows ? The Keeper : I had no orders . The Judge : Do you mean to say you had no orders ? The Keeper : I considered it was very cold this morning- . .
The Judge : Cold this morning , with a crowded court like this ! I shall impose a fine of ten shillings for not attending to my orders , repeatedly given , on this subject . It must be very uncomfortable and unpleasant to every one in court . I shall inflict a fine often shillings for not attending to my orders on this subject , and teach you to attend to my orders in future , which have been now neglected without any justifiable ground whatever . 1 think fresh air is essential to life and health . I nearly lost my life by confinement in close courts , and 1 don t intend to risk it again . By : keeping the windows closed you are endangering my health , and I consider that a serious matter . Enforce that fine , Mr . Statham .

Association For Promoting The Repeal A O...
ASSOCIATION FOR PROMOTING THE REPEAL A OF THE TAXES ON KNOWLEDGE . TO THE FRIENDS OF CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT THROUGHOUT THE 2 CIKGDOM . Fellow Countrymen , —You are actively , and in our opinion worthily , employed in doing honour to one who has struggled with all his might to preserve to the people of Hungary those blessings of constitutional government , which are still enjoyed under the mixed monarchy of England and the republic of the United States of America . And in this noble cause who are your active opponents ? not the half-reformed House of , Commons , nor the Lords , still less the Sovereign , but a number of persons who write anonymously in the Times newspaper . You frequently end your meetings with groans for the Times ; do you really , as practical men , think these groans of any use ? You should rather strike at the root of the evil , by setting the press free . The penny stamp makes it impossible for a second daily paper to exist , which has not other resources than the support of the public . The following table shows the extent to which the Times has succeeded in absorbing the daily press : — 1 S 37 . 1845 . 1816 . | 1850 .

'> 7 by a million and a half ; while the circulation of the Times , which in 1837 was less than one quarter of the whole , is now more than one half . In this dark shadow there is one gleam of light . The Daily Ncrrs while it sold at threepence had a circulation of three millions and a half , of which three millions were purchased by persons who never took—as i . s shown by the increase for that year amounting to 3 , 300 , 000—a daily paper before . Nor is the yap filled up which was caused by its rise in price . It ia clear , therefore , that there is no fair field for nny increase in the number of fivepenny papers ; but that for papers at a lower price there is a fluid open in Knglund a » well as in Belgium and America . Should the stamp continue ten years longer , we may fxpeet to lose all our morning pupers but the Times and the Advertiser ; by taking oil' the Htuinp a field will be opened which will enable us to have a daily prcnu dependent only on the public . If , then , you really love coniitilulional ( Jovernine . it , recollect , that the ; freedom of theprem is essential to its preservation , and demand the repeal of the penny stamp uud of all tuxes on knowledge .

The Progress Of What Is Called " Mixed E...
The progress of what is called " mixed education ' in Ireland , is one of the consolatory facts cf the day . It is not long since a favourable report of the examinations at the Newry School was issued , and now we have another from the Baillieborough district , in the county of Cavan . The Cork Reporter thus refers to the circumstances tinder which the new session of the Queen ' s Colleges has been opened : — " We have been much gratified by finding that the entrances at the Examination at Queen ' s College , just now closed , being the first for the present session , have fully shown the unabated progress of public opinion in favour of that most useful institution . There have been added to the rolls of the college for the new
class , no less than thirty-eight students , of whom twenty are Roman Catholics ; and , as we understand , including the sons of some of the most distinguished and important Roman Catholic families in this province . Equally gratifying is the fact , which , we believe , is indubitable , that , notwithstanding the peculiar influences most strenuously exerted in certain quarters , to detach from the college the Roman Catholic students previously entered , such has been the confidence felt by the public in the system of education pursued in it , that not a single instance has occurred of a student having been withdrawn on religious grounds . We are most happy to report also for Gahvay College , the wonderfully successful entrance , this month , of twenty-eight students .

The mail steam-ship Africa struck on a reef of rooks off Belfast Lough , on Saturday last , in a fog . She was obliged to put back to Liverpool- The passengers drew up a statement exonerating Captain Ryrie from all blame , and speaking of his conduct in high terms .
An Old Man Named Rollinson Was Committed...
An old man named Rollinson was committed for trial at Clare , in Suffolk , on Tuesday , charged with , killing Anne Cornell by administering arsen'C to her ; and also attempting the life of his daughter-in-law by the same means . The body had been buried and was disinterred for examination . Rollinson had bought arsenic ; the chemist ' s assistant seemed to think nothing of selling that poison to anybody who spoke of " rats and mice" ! A man named Archibold Hare was hung at Glasgow on the 24 th instant , for the murder of Ronald M'Gregor ,
in August last . He died with great firmness and spoke from the drop as follows : — " Fellow-men , I am doing to die for a crime of which I am innocent , but I pray God to forgive all those who have persecuted me . All of you beware of dram-drinkiryj , and beware of Matthew Miller , and take warning by me this day to keep out of bad company , and to put your confidence in the Lord , for he will never leave you . He has given me grace this day , and I care no inure for death than any person going to his bed this nij > ht , for I have found favour with Christ Jesus our Lord . "

October 21, 1851. My Dear Hooper,—We Hav...
October 21 , 1851 . My Dear Hooper , —We have seen Kossuth . We found him this morning , at Southampton , in the house of the hospitable and patriotic Andrews ; who seems to me , verily , to have been the first man to break out in this new and most welcome burst of national feeling—after the good old English stylethat Kossuth ' s ariival has awakened .
Kossuth was surrounded by eager friends—Hungarians , Londoners , men from distant towns , who seemed ready to tear him in pieces , in their desire to have him amongst them ; and so to convert him , by a summary process of enthusiastic worship , at once into relics . Nevertheless , he received the deputation from the central committee with the most courteous and kind attention . His portraits are sufficiently like for one to recognise him without the slightest hesitation ; but not one of them does
him justice . He has none of their theatrical aspect ; they have none of that earnest animation , of that refinement , that almost womanly gentleness which mingles so remarkably with manly fire and prompt decisive action , indicated both by his speech and gesture . While he is in manners the most winning of all the men that I have seen—and you are first struck with a fascinating affectionateness in his address—the second thing that strikes you is the perfect self-possession of the man . He docs what he means , all that he means , and nothing
else . He speaks — to us in English . At first the alien words came slowly to his tongue ; but he chooses them with singular fitness ; as he proceeds you are struck with H 12 clear , lucid , unbroken murch of the thoughts ; for he thinks as closely as he speaks . He enters upon each section of his subject with marked deliberation ; but proceeds without hesitation , and lends himself to hi * subject with a dashing vigour , and a pace that increases as he proceeds . He is not carried away by hia subject , but gives it rein , like a bold and confident horseman that knows how to trust both himself and his steed . I
was introduced by an Hungarian friend , and when I introduced Nicholla and Delaforce he shook hands with them most courteously and cordially . He makes every man feel that bis individuality is recognised . I am sure my colleagues shared the feelings that took possession of me—of profound respect for that uncemquored leader of his country , of personal nnuction for one > vho seemed to borrow from influence only so much the greater power to express bin sympathy with his fellow-man . No <>« 10 who has spoken with him can wonder at the V ovie * which he exercises over Iuh countrymen . I " tru
reply to the deputation I wus struck with the statesmanlike purpose that dictated every word .
