We continue without supplies of foreign butter, owing to the state of tbe Thames ; but as the stocks of Irish are unsually good the trade supply themselves, though sparingly, with that article, and our last quotations are fully reallized ; but these observations must be understood as solely applying to the choicest marks; inferior qualities nominal. This " market may be considered as clear of foreign butter; the quotations, of course, must be nominal. Lard, in consequence of the high price of butter, is rather dearer. It is now generally ascertained, that there will not be scarcely half the usual quantity of beef packed this season in Ireland , this, coupled with tbe smali stock of foreign, induces the holders to ask, and nearly in all cases to obtain higher rates. Bacon is without variation in value, and the demand not brisk. BUTTER BACON Stock Delivered Stock.

HALIFAX ( SATURDAY. )— Although we experienced a dcoidely worse demand for nearly all goods than for the last few weeks, there was not, we believe, any alteration in prices. For this unexpected short demand it is difficult to find a reason : we hope, therefore, that no permanent cause exists for ir. BRADFORD ( T H U R S D A Y ) . — . P i e c e The inquiries for goods continue fail " A considerable advance was asked, and in some instances paid '. indeed the continued advance on wool and yarns leaves no option ; and if tbe advance cannot be maintained on goods, fewer must be made. Varus— A very stecdy business is doing in yarns, and there was an indication uf still higher rates being obtained soon ; but we did not hear of any actnal advance being realized. Wool ' fhe last advance on the wool was this day readily and fully established. The growers arc more firm than they have been for the last two or three months ; and the impression is that prices will go still higher. A very fair amount of business was done to- day. LEEDS ( TUESDAY).)— For all kinds of unfinished goods, espe cially of low qualities, we are enabled to report most favourably as to demand ; but we did not hear that, in any instance, higher rates had been obtained, though this must inevitably take place soon, as the make is, now evident every day, not " equal to the sales effected. The staplers are asking more for wool, aod have succeeded in many other eases in obtaining if, If the staple article should remain where it is, it is thought we shall have a good spring trade.

The Caroline, an American Steam Vessel, belonging topersons in Buffalo, was burned there by the Royalists 011 tbe 29'. h of Dec., some 0! the persons on beard were murdered, others burnt and tho Vessel itself captured. This outrage having been committed in the territory of the United States, the Sheriff of Niagara issued a Proclamation to arm the Public in order to resist the aggressions of Bri. ish subjects. The most indignant anti- British feeling was caused by this act, and the Governor of the State of New York had made it the subject of a spirited message to tho Legislature. Sir FRANCIS HEAD is stated to have been repulsed three times at Navy Island. The following is from the Buffalo Daily Star of December Ist. : — BRITISH OUTRAGE 1 THE AMERICAN SOIL INVADED — UNARMED AND UNRESISTING AMERICANS BUTCHERED IN COLD BLOOD. The steam boat Caroline, belonging to this city, was on Friday night captured at Schlosser while moored in an American port, and the inmates, many of them visitors 011 board, inhumanly butchered. The boat was then set fire to and towed into the current, and left to pass over the falls, bearing iu her the dead bodies of her inmates. How many were butchered is not known, but from twelve to twenty are missing. Tire body of Mr. Durfee, who was shot through the head while standing upon the wharf, was brought to this city this evening. The excitement is indescribable. A gentleman from Canada this afternoon states that M'Nab disclaims any intention to violate neutrality, by the seizure of tbe Carolina, and offers to pay for the boat 1 He makes no attempt to atone for the murder of American citizens 11 STEAM BOAT CAROLINA BURNT— TWENTY- TWO LIVES LOST!!! ( From the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, of Dec. 30) Captain Kecler, of the schooner Agnes Barton, and E. Emmons of this city, have just brought news by express from Schlosser, of an attack made this morning upon the steam- boat Caroline, lying at that place, which resulted in the destruction of the boat, and the DEATH of I'WENTY- TWO of. her crew— 12 only escaping! It is stated that theattack was made about 2 o'clock, by five boatsof armed loyalists, containing from lOOto 150 - men, who guarded tbe gangway, and cried ' no quarter !' Captain Applebee. of the Constitution, who went down as pilot of the Caroline yesterday, narrowly escaped with his life ; he received a llt'sh wound, and was pursued into the storehouse adjoining A Mr. Durfee, lately belonging to the stage office at the Eagle, in this city, lies on the deck with his brains bio wn out. An express has been started to ascertain fully the facts. FURTHER PARTICULARS. The twelve o'clock express confirms tbe news of this morning. It is said that the Caroline was filled with visitors, and not soldiers. The word with the loyalists was, " No prisoners !— no quarters !" ' Ihose who attempted to escape were killed, with a few exceptions— the boat was set on fire, and with the remainder lowed into the current on the Canadian side, which soon carried her over the lalls. The loyalists gave three cheers for Victoria, and undercover of the darkness, it is supposed escaped the fire opened upon them from the island. Those on board the boat slept there, because the public houses were full. Capt. Harding, of Ihe brig Indiana, escaped with a severe wound in tbe head ; only one man was found on the shore, the one above- mentioned ; the rest reported missing... there is little doubt but they went over the falls wit', 1 the burning steam- boat III ( From the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser.) { § J= r A letter has been received by Doctor E. Johnson, from Gen Van Rerselaer, that the British forces are actually landing on Grand Island. The manner in which this intelligence was received by the people of the United States may be best judged from the foliowng documents. PROCLAMATION OF THE LORD MAYOR OF BUFFALO. Mayor's Office, Dee. 30. FELLOW CITIZENS The report that outrages have been committed by persons frofn Canada, upon the lives and property of our inhabitants, has justly excited in your bosoms that spirit which is so worthy of American citizens. All legal measures will be promptly taken to prevent any future aggression ; and you will. be called upon as fast as your services are required. In the meantime 1 enjoin you all to act. with discretion, and only under the direction of the proper authorities. The Common Council having placed ample means at my disposal for the defence ofthe city, nothing will be wanting on my part to insure the safety of al1 ; and for that purpose 1 feel assured that .1 shall be fully sustained by jou. A competent nnd well armed ciiy guard, of respectable citizens has been organized, under the authority of the Common Council; and sworn in as a city patrol. The laws must be strictly enforced, and to prevent, any unnecessary alarm, the firing of guns after sundown te forbidden, and the ordinance in relation thereto will be rigidly enforced. It is to be hoped, however, in times like the present, no person will be found who will wantonly violate any law. The firemen arc requested to be on the alert, and see that their engines are in good order, though it is to be hoped that they will have no occasion to use them. Citizens are requested to call at any and all times at this office, to report or receive orders. PIERCE A. BAKER, Acting Mavor. State of New York, Brigade orders. BUFFALO. DEC. 30th, 1 8 3 7 . — A requisition has been made on mebv the Sheriff of Erie county, for tiie services of the 47th bri gade'of militia of this state, to aid him in executing the laws of mis as well us those of the United States.

Of the 3.3 persons who were on board in the evening nine are ' missing. Whether they made their eseipe or were killed it is im- ! possible lo say, It is not ascertained with absolute certainty that ! any except Dufree was killed. He was found lying on his back i 011 the dock, wilh a ball through his forehead, and remained in ! the same position— 1 ghastly spectacle— till 2 or 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when he was brought to town. The Rochester Democrat says, after stating the circumstances of the attack upon the Caroline— " On tho receipt of the above intelligence, the most inexpressible excitement prevailed throughout the city. The military assembled, drums were heard in the streets, the court- house bell was rung, and our citizens flocked together by hundreds, to deliberate upon the proper course to be pursued, " The meeting was organized, and a resolution passed that those present would hold themselves ready at a moment's warning to defend the integrity of our soil, and the lives of their fellowcitizens. " The meeting was then adjourned till Monday morning. " The insolent tyrants of Upper Canada cannot imbue their hands in the blood of Americans with impunity." The same paper, in a subsequent number, says— The startling intelligence brought by express from Buffalo on Saturday night is more than confirmed I What was then deemed incredible is proved to be horrid reality ! Our shore has been invaded 1 An American vessel has been attacked, set on lire, and sent, over the falls of Niagara by a foreign force ! Unarmed American citizens have been brutally butchered by British soldiery and their death must be avenged I The lion of England cannot feast upon the blooJ" bf freemen with impunity !

That vou need not be deceived by the thousand rumours that you will of course receive from this frontier, during the present cxcited state of our Canadian relations, I will tell you the truth as it is. We are in a state, of war !— Last evening the steamboat Caroline was attacked in tbe dead of night lying at the dock, at Schlosser, entirely unarmed, by about 50 British soldiers from the other side ( Chippawa) and about 20 persons butchered in cold blood, the boat set on fire, burnt to tbe water's edge, and the wreck passed over the Falls I The people on board were mostly American citizens, who had been attracted to the spot by curiosity, expectin an attack on Navy Island during the day. We had a meeting this morning of a great number of our most respectable citizens, at which it was resolved that Genera! Burt should call out one thousand men of his brigade for the protection of this frontier against Canadian aggressions ; and recommending the same course to General Jackson, of Niagara Co. Expresses have been sent to the Governor, who, we hope, will act, prompt ly ; as also L- ickport and Rochester, in both of which places is quite as much feeling as with us. The British force at Chippawa and in that vicinity, as near as we can, is about 2,000, mostly militia, under charge of M'Nab, the late Speaker. Dr. Rolph is here. M'Kenzie, with his wife are on tho Island with the " patriots." There has been heavy firing for the last four hours, but we have learnt nothing yet. I will write to you again to morrow, if there should anything happen of conscquence, Your sincere friend, DAVID M. DAY. PROCLAMATION OF THE SHELLIFE OF NIAGARA. To the officers and privates of the 180th aud 163d regiments of the 5th Brigade and 20th division of the Militia of tho State of New York Whereas the territory of the county of Niagara was, on the night of the 29th instant, invaded by a foreign armed force, and the property of our citizens destroyed and numbers murdered in cold blood... And whereas a like aggression and violation of our soil is expected— These are to command you forthwith to call out the militia under your command, and order the same, armed and equipped forthwith to assemble ; the 163d regiment at the village of Youngstown, and the 180th regiment at the village of Niagara Falls... and there to rcceive further orders. TAMERLANE T. ROBERTS, Sheriff of tbe county of Niagara. Lockport, December, 30. lS^ T. ( From the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser of Dee. 31.) Six O'CLOCK, P. M.— Throughout yesterday and to day ou city has been very much excited in consequence of tbe seizure an'' burning of the Caroline and the killing of one of our citizens d Schlosser.

That the said Caroline continued her course down the Niagara river unmolested, and landed outside of certain scows or boats attached to Navy Island, where a number of passengers disem: ' arked, and, as this deponent supposes, certain articles of freight were landed. That from tbis point the said Caroline ran to Schlotser, arriving there about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. That, be: tween this time and dark tho said boat made two trips to Navy Island, landing as before. That at about the hour of six in the afternoon this deponent caused tho said boat to be landed at Schlosser, and made fast with chains tothe dock at that place That the crew and officers of the Carolina numbered ten, and that in the course of the afternoon 23 individuals, all of whom were citizens of the United States, came on board and requested this deponent and other officers of the boat to permit them to remain on beard during the night, as they were unable to get lodgines at the tavern near by. These requests were acceded to, and the persons thus coming 011 board retired to rest, as did also tho crew and officers of the Caroline, except such as were stationed to watch during the night That about midnight this deponent was informed by one of the watch that several boats filled with men were making towards the Caroline from the river, and this deponent immediately gave the alarm, and before he was able In reach the deck the Caroline wai boarded by some seventy. or eighty men all of whom were armed. That they immediately commenced a warfare with muskets, swords, and cutlasses, upon the defenceless crew and passengers of tbe Caroline under a fierce cry of " God damn them, give no quarters— kdl every man— fire ! " fire ! ' That tbe Caroline was abandoned without resistance, and the only effort made by the crew and passengers seemed to be to escape slaughter ; that this deponent narrowly escaped, having received several wounds, none of which, however, are of a serious character; that immediately after the Caroline fell into the hands of the armed force « I10 boarded her, sho was set on lire, cut loose from the dock, was. towed into Ihe current of the river, then abandonded. and soon after descended theNiogaiaFalls; that this deponent has made vigilant search for tbe individuals, 33 in number, who are known to have been upon tbe Caroline the moment she was boarded, and twenty- one only are 10 be found, one of whom, to wit, Amos Durfee, of Buffalo, was found dead uoon the dock, having received a shot from a musket, the ball of which penetrat ed the back part of the head and came out at rhe forehead. James II. King and Capt. C. F. Harding were seriously, tho' not. mortally wounded ; several others received slight wounds.... The twelve individuals who are missing this deponent has 110 doubt were either murdered upon the boat, or found a watery grave in thecateract of the Falls; and this deponent further says, that immediately after Caroline was got into the current of the stream and abandoned as before stated, beacon lights were discovered upon the Canada shore near Chippewa, and after sulflcient time had elapsed to enable the boats to reach that shore, this deponent, he mi loud and vociferous cheering at that point That this deponent has no doubt the individuals who boarded the Caroline were a part ot the British forces now stationed at Chippewa.

With respect to the rumoured landing of the British at Grand Island, the Buffalo correspondent of the New York Courier, under date of the 31st December, says : — Yesterday it was reported in tbe city, that alandinghad been made on Grand Island by the Canadians All was bustle and excitement ; hundreds of individuals were promptly under arms, and ready to march and dispossess tbe invading force. Inthe mean time an express was sent down, when the report proved to be false; but. the feelings of the people were expressed in such a prompt and decided manner, as to leave no doubt what would occur if such a step should actuilly be taken." A letter from a responsible house, dated at Buffalo, on the evening ofthe 1st of January, received at New York on the 8th 3ays, that there are at least 3, BOO troop3 in that city, and that others are expected. The excitcment among these men was so great that it required the utmost exertion of their officers and others to prevent their marching in a body to Navy Island, in the very faco of the laws. It is, however, necessary. The patriot force on Navy Lland was daily receiving reinforcements of troops and additional supplies. On Monday afternoon there was a constant heavy cannonade aetween the Island and the main shore, rind the British works are again demolished. Tnere are many experienced gunners on the Island, as I personally know. An expectation of attack on the Island on Monday night was entertained, as my informant writes, but. he doubted much whether one would take place. My opinion is that it would be akin to madness in Sir Francis Head to attempt it, unless with an overpowering regular force, as the natural - strength of the position is such that 1,000 determined men might easily defend it against six times their number, under almost an j circumstances. Tbe troops of Sir Francis aie principally militia, not more than two or thiee companies of regulars have arrived from Lower Canada up to the 1st inst. ' lhey are encamped in the Chippewa. The following proclamation has been issued by tho Governor oi the Stale of New York, touching the breach of neutrality by the Britsh tooops. SPECIAL MESSAGE. TO THE LEGISLATURE I received last evening, after my annual message was prepared, information of an occurrence, whicti I hasten to communicate to you. The territory of this state has been invaded, some of our citivens murdered, by an armed force from the province of Upper Canada. By the documents accompanying this communication it will be perceived that the steamboat Caroline, owned by one of ourciti. zens, while lying at Schlosser, on the Niagara river, within the liu. its of tbis slate, on the night of the 29th of December last, was forcibly seized by a parly of seventy or eighty men, in boats, which came from and returned to tho Canadian shore. The crew and other persons in this steamboat, amounting to thirty three, were suddenly attacked at midnight, after they bad retired to repose, and probably more than one- third of them wantonly massacred. The boat was detached from the wharf to which it had been secured, set on fire, taken into the middle of the liver, and by the force of the current carried over the Niagara Falls. Twelve o f t he persons who were on board of it are missing ; aud there is ground to fear that they were kille d by the invaders in their attack upon tude to maintain the relations of peace and strict neutrality with the British Provinces in Upper and Lower Canada at all times since the commencement of the civil disturbances therein, and have in all respects done'whas was incumbent upon them to do to sustain these relations. The occurrence to which 1 have alluded is an outrage that has not been provoked by any act done, or duly neglected, by the government of this state or of fhe Union. If it should appear tnat this boat was intended to be used for tbe purpose of keeping up an intercourse between this State and Navy Island, which is now held by an assemblage of- persons in defiance of the Canadian Government, tbe circumstance would furnish no justification for the hostile invasion of our territory and the destruction of the lives of our etizens. The general government is entrusted witb tbe maintenance of our foreign relations, aud will undoubtedly take the necessary steps to redress the wrong and sustain the honour of tho country. Though I have received no official information of the fact. I have good reason to believe that the local authorities of the state have taken prompt and efficient means not only to protect our soil from further invasion, but to repressany retaliative measures ofaggressiorr which our citizens, under the impulse of deeply cxcited and indignant feelings, might rashly resolve to adopt jf^' ind that the patriotic militia in the vicinity ofthe scene of outrage, hive obeyed with alacrity the call which has been made upon them for these purposes. It will probably be necessary for this state to keep up a militia force for the protection of our citizens and the maintenance of peace, until an opportunity is given for the general government to interpose with its power to provide by law for the payment and maintenence of such forces as the occasion may require. I shall doubtless receive within a short time official information of what the local authorities have done, and shall be better enabled to form an opinion of what may be necessary on the part of this state to preserve our rights and the public tranquillity. I shall then communicate further with you on the subject, and suggest such matters in relation to it as may require your consideration Albany, January, 2, 1838. W. L. MARCY. TWENTY- FIFTH CONGRESS FRIDAY, JAN. 5, 1838. DISTURBANCES ON THE CANANDIAN FRONTIER. The following Message was received from the President o f t he United States : To the Senate and House of Representatives of the. UaiUd States. Recent experience on the southern boundery of the United States, and the events daily occurring 011 our Northern frontier have abundantly shown that the existing laws are insufficient to guard against hostile invasion from the United States of the territory of friendly and neighbouring nations. The laws in force provide sufficient penalties for the punishment of such offences, after they have been committed, and pro: vided the parties can be found ; but the Executive is powerless in many cases to prevent the commission of them, even when in possession of ample evidence of an intention on the part of evildisposed persons to violate our laws. Your attention is called to this defect in our legislation. It is apparent, that tbe executive ought to be clothed with adequate power effectually to restrain all persons within our jurisdiction from tho commission of acts of this character. Tbey tend to dis « turbthe peace of the country, and inevitably involve the government in perplexing controversies with foreign powers. I rceom: mend a careful revision of all ihe laws now in force, and such additional enactments as may be necessary to vest in the execu. tive full power to prevent injuries being inflicted upon neighbour: ing nations by the unauthorised and unlawful acts of citizens of the United States, or of other persons who may be within our jurisdiction and subject to our control. In illustration of these views, and to show the necessity of early action on tbe part of the Congress, I submit herewith a copy of a letter received from the Marshal of the Northern District of New York, who had been directed to repair to the frontier, and take all authorised measures to secure the faithful execution of existing laws. M. VAN BUREN. Washington, Jan. 5, 1838. TO HIS EXCELLENCY, M. VAN BUREN. Buffalo, Dec. 28. 1837. SIR— This frontier is in a stale of commotion 1 came to this city on the 22d instant, by direction of the United States attorney for the northern district of this state, for tbe purpose of serving piocesses upon individuals suspected of violating the laws of the United States, enacted wilh a view to maintain our neutrality. I learned on my art ival that some 200 or 200 men, mostly from the district of country adjoining the frontier, and from tbis side of the Niagara, bad congregated upon Navy Island, Upper Canada, and were then inarms witb Renssaelar, of Albany, as their commander- in- chief. From that time to the present they have received constant acccessions of men, munitions of war, provisions, from persons residing within the States. Their whole force is now about 1. U00 strong, and, as is said, are well supplied with arms, § - c. Warrants have been issued iu some cases, but no arrests have as yet been effected. This expedition was got up in thi< city soon after M'Kenzie's arrival upon this side of the river, and tire first company that landed upon the island were organised, pariially at least, before they crossed from this side to the island. From all that I can see and learn 1 am satisfied lhat if the government deem it their duty to prevent supples being furnished from this side to the army on the island, and also the augmentation of their forces from among the citizens of tho State3, an armed force stationed along upon the line o f t h e Niagara will be absolutely necessary to its accomplishment. I have just received a communication from Colonel M'Nabb, commanding her Majesty's forces now at Chippewa, in which he strongly urged the authorities here to prevent supplies being furnished to the army on the island, at the same time stating that, if this can be effected, the whole affair could be closed without any effusion of blood. M'Nabb is about 2,500 strong, and constantly increasing, 1 replied to him that 1 should communicate with you immediately, as also with ihe governor of this State, and that every thing which could would be done to maintain a strict neutrality. I learn that persons here are engaged in dislodging one or more steam- boats from the ice, and, as is supposed, with a view to aid in the patriot expedition. lam, Sir, wilh great consideration, your obedient servant, N. GARROW, U. S. Marshal Northern District, New York. A debate arose upon this document in both houses, and the necessity of non intervention, and of preserving peace wilh Great Britain was generally recognised by the leading men of all parties. However, it was determined to take efficient measures to prevent any] lurther invasion of the neutral relations of the two powers. NAVY ISLAND. Tbe Buffalo Commercial Advertiser of the 3d Jan a journal opposed to the interests of the insurgents— says :... " Wo have nothing new from the camp at Navy Island. General Van Rensselaer came up last night and left town this morning. The general impression now is, that the island will be evacuated in a few days Whether the force there assembled will mike a descent upon Canada, or come to this side and disband, we are unable to say. but incline to tiie belief that the latter course will be adopted. It is certainly much to be desired. In the present situation of Canada, with no patriot force embodied in any part ol it, it would be a desperate undertaking for the Navy Islanders to land. They might be able to do something, but the chanccs are very much against them. The maintenance of a force on the island has led to an outrageous violation of our territory, the destruction of property, and the murder of our citizens— and to keep it there much longer, in the present state of feeling on botli sides of the river, will it is to be feared lead to still more violent outrages, and inevitably plunge the two countries into a wa". The New York Courieri) and Inquirer says : — " The affair of Navy Island is assuming a very serious aspect.—. The position of the Insurgents is undoubtedly strong, their number is daily increasing, and their supplies of arms and ammunition and all the sinews of war, receivo daily augmentation. It is difficult to procure correct intelligence from the scene of agitation. There is no doubt, however, that the state of feeling along our frontier threatens to implicate us in most unfortunate difficulties wilh England. A rumour was in circulation yesterday that the British minister had demanded his passports: This we can hardly believe to be true ; but if our government do not call out some volunteer corps, enforce obedience to the laws, and compcl our citizens to respect our neutrality, we should not be surprised if Mr. Fox should feel it incumbent upon him to close his mission. The Albany correspondent of the same paper, under date of the 2d ult, says, " A letter from Buffalo, dated Sunday evening, says the funeral of Durfee, killed at Schlosser, was attended byover 2,000 persons. At; attack on Navy Island was almost confidently looked for. With 1000 men from Erie county, 1,000 fi » m Niagara, and 1,500 on Navy Island, ' with arms in their hands,' what may be looked for when passion is aroused, and the blood heated I" Extract of a letter to the Editor of the Albany Evening Journal : Governor Head is at Lundy's Lane, and has not far from four thousand men and 300 JIndians , he has scoured both lakes and collected near 100 boats to attack the Island. As near as we can get at the numbers on the Island, there are 1,600 men and 22 pieces of artillery, with abundance of ammunition. It will be a desperate fought battle, for tbe orders in Canada are to give the rebels no quarters, and the Islanders know that it must be victory or death w'ith them. I understand that orders are given for an attack on New Year's Day. The New York Inquirer of the 6th of January, contains the following : — " NAVY ISLAND Various rumours have been in circulation of one or more attacks by Sir Francis Head on Navy Island. We place 110 reliance on these reports. Our impression is, that no such attack is intended ; and that it is the policy of Sir Francis I Head to co- operate, if possible, with our authorities, to compel a pacific evacuation of the island by cutting off the supplies.— Such a course would prevent the effusion of blood, and the occurrence of any unfortunate collisions which might exasperate our citizens and disturb the tranquillity of our froutier for years. THE CORK SOUTHERN REPORTER. I M P E R I A L P A R L I A M E N T. C A N A D A . HODSE OF COMMONS— FRIDAY PEB- 2. C A N A D A . " J Sir R. INGLIS, seeing the Noble Lord the Home Secretary ill his place, would put two questions to. him, on subjects very interesting both to the house and the country, and with respect to which he had reason to suppose that the Noble Lord's answers would be satisfactory. The first question related to tbe event connected with the steamer Caroline; for, as all the accounts received rclativo to that matter were extracted from the American papers, he could not call the transaction by any other name, nor, even if the circumstances represented in those papers were true, would ho apply to the transaction the terms which those papcis U'ed. The next point witb respect to which be trusted the Noble Lord would favour the house with some explanation was the position in which Mr. Fox, our Minister at Washington, stood with regard to the Government o f t h e United States. Lord PALMERSTON said it was in his power to give an answer to the latter part of the Honorable Member's inquiry... With respect to the Caroline steamer, he understood tbat no offical account of that transaction had yet been received at the Colonial office ; and the only intelligence respecting It was contained in the American papers. Witb regard to tbe relations of Mr. Fox, in reference to the government of the United States, he could inform the house that he had received in the course of tbat day a despatch from Mr. Fox, dated the 5th of Jan. in which Mr. Fox stated thaton the2d inst. he received a letter from Sir F. Head, relating what had taken place with regard to Navy Island being occupied bv a body of persons headed by and partly composed- of citizens of the United States, and armed and equip ped in the territorv of that power. Mr. Fox thereupon communicated those facts to tbe President ofthe United Slates, and to Mr. Forsyth, the American Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and received, as was to be expected, a most friendly communication in reply. ( Hear, hear). In t h e first place, Mr. Fox received a verbal communication from Mr. Forsyth, containing the expression of those sentiments and intcntionswhich might be expected froni the friendly spirit of the United States towards this country, and from the high sense of honor by which that Government was actuated in its dealings with other countries, ( Hear, hear.)— Oil the 5th of January Mr. Fox received a n o t h e r communication from Mr- Forsyth, in which was contained a passage, assuring Mr. Fox that all the constitutional powers vested in the executive would be exerted to maintain the supremacy of those laws which were passed to fulfil the obligations of the United States to all friendly nations who might be unfortunately engaged m foreign or domestic wars ; and further assuring Mr. Fox, that all the powers now vested in the central Government for the purpose of preventing inroads and aggressions on neighbouring states would be exerted...( Hear.) Moreover, on the 5th of Jan. the President of the United States sent down a message to Congress, stating that the laws as they stood were sufficient to enable Government to punish such proceedings, but not to prevent them, and calling on Congress to grant ihe executive further powers for the latter purpose...( Cheer,.) That communication of the President was followed by a short discussion in Congress, in which many ofthe leading men ol the United Slates, such as Mr. Clay. Mr. Calhoun, and others, took part, and all the persons who spoke expressed feelings of the most friendly description towards this country, declaring their decided opinion that tbe existing laws should be enforced, and that, if they were not sufficient lor the purpose, stronger powers should be granted. ( Hear) He ( Lord Palmerston) thought that, under t h e s e circumstance!, nothing could be more satisfactory thin the communications which had passed between her Majesty's Minister at Washington and the Government of the United States ; and he was sure that the | house mignt confidently trust, though there might have been some acts committed by'individuals of both nations not consistent ; with the laws which regulated the intercourse of nations, and : in violation of the friendly spirit which animated the two countries, that no isolated acts of that sort would interrupt the friendly relations which at the present moment happily existed between the United States and this countr)—( Hear.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, tbat as no official account had been received of the transaction connected with the steamer ! Caroline, it was impossible to state what » as the character of j that event until some authentic intelligence respecting it orrived. The Government had received a despatch from Sir F. Head, dated the 28th of December, and other accounts from Sir J Colborne, dated the 2d of January, from which it appeared that all the operations against Navy Island were to be carried on by Sir J Colborne...( Hear, hear). MUNICIPAL COR PORT AT IONS ( IRELAND) BILL. Lord J. RUSSELL moved the order of tbe day for the second reiding of the above bill. Sir R. INGLIS said he felt b mself bound to oppose this bill, though he should notoccupv the house with a long argument. He had been told tuat. having destroyed the English corporations. we were bound to destrov those in Ireland ; but he could see no Teuton why one outrage'on the law and constitution should sanction another. He believed tbat few members bad read the report and minutes of evidence on this subject; be believed that not a tenth of the house were parties to the report. He did not want to destroy the existing corporations. The committee had referred to the evils of the present system, but where evils did exist, they were remediable by the existing course of law. If this course was too expensive, that was only a reason why the ex - pense should be reduced. He regarded tbis bill as one ofthe many modes by which, during the last six or seven years, tbe house had endeavoured to dimin'sb the efficacy of that system of Protestant institutions in Ireland by which the Protectant ascendancy was maintained, and without which the legislative union could not be successful. H should, oil principle, oppose the second reading of this bill. . Mr. SHAW said if the noble lord, as he had understood, intended to name another day for the discussion of this measure, he should not impede the second reading of the bill, but defer expressing his opinion till a future stage. If it was put oil, be hoped it would be deterred till after tbe committee on the pcor law bill with which it was connected. The poor law bill ought to have the precedence. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he had no objection to the course suggested by the right hon gentleman. He intended to take the poor law bill first, and thus defer the discussion of this measure till afterwards, though he could not now name a day lor that committee Sir R. INGLIS said. Ihat after what had been said by the noble lord he should not divde the house. The bill was then read a second time, and was ordered to be committed on Monday fortnight. CONACRE TENANTS ( IRELAND) HILL. Mr. LUCAS, in moving the second reading ot this bill, observed, that his object in introducing it had been to improve the condition of the peasant tenantry of Ireland, witb reference to a subject in which iheir individual interests were, almost without an exception, involved. By a report of the Poor Law Commisstoneis for Ireland it appeared that conacre was found to be general ill every barony which had been visited by the assistant- commissioners, with the single exception of a barony in the county Mayo, and ihe number ot coupcre tenants in the province of Leinster had increased considerably within tbe last two years ... Conacre is a species of subletting which regarded the poorer classes merely, anil con. is'ei in the fact of tbe farmer letting a small portion of land to the labourer, and furnishing the manure for the soil, while thelabourer supplied the seed and tillage. In peril ods of famine it was frequently found that the conacre tenant was unable to pay the rent, and subject to great distress by the uncer: tain state ofthe law. The crop. he should observe, consisted almost uniformly of potatoes. He sought to introduce the princi. pie ihat the labourer should not be compelled to keep the land, but that the farmer should take it off his hands in the case of his inability to pay the rent, provided that there was no express agreements the contrary, and upon reasonable notice having been given before hand. The second clause of the bill sought to provide a remedy for tbe following grievance :— In addition to tbe security afforded to the farmer by the promisory note which was given him in the first instance for the rent by the conscre tenant, it was usual to claim the additional security of a legal lien on the properly. He proposed to modify the law by introducing the provision, that if the landlord should have con sented to accept the security of a promisory note, such acceptance should deprive him of the right to claim any other security. Thisarrangeinent would of course be without prejudice to any specific agreement. Without the introduction of such a provi: sioi ths tenant would be compelled either to starve or pur: chase other potatoes, tbe only food within his reach, at a high rate of credit. ( Hear, heur.) He proposed that the Bill should be read a second time this night, and that Ihe committal should be postponed to a distant day, in order Ihat the assizes having in the mean time taken place, every Irish member might have an opportunity ol'expressing bis opinion upon the question. Mr. F. FRENCH objected to the first clause of the bill, with reference to the landlord's security, as tending to do away altogether witn the system of sub- letting lo conacre tenants. The bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on tbe 19th of Match. — Adjourned. PRICE OF IRISH STOCKS, FEBRUARY 1. Bank Stock 11WJ4 a per Cent. Consols H1J percent.

EXASPERATED FEELING AGAINST THE BRITISH IN CONSEQUENCE. We were enabled to publish in a Second Edition on Saturday the leading features of the important intelligence from Canada which arrived at Liverpool, per the Roscoe Packet Ship, from New York, on Thursday, and appeared inthe Dublin Pilot of Friday. This evening we give all the details, which will be found very important. On the morning of the ,30th of December, the British Officer at Chippewa, Col. M'NAB, dispatched a fleet of Boats from the Canada side to a place called Schlosser, on the American back of the Niagara, where a Steam Vessel, the Carolina, belonging to persons in Buffalo, United States, was lying, which was attacked while the Crew and Passengers were in their berths, several of whom were killed, the Vessel herself cut from her moorings, set on fire, and drifted over the Falls. This intelligence soon spread, and the Reader will perceive from the ample accounts which we publish, that a most indignant and angry feeling was excited against the British... The Governor of the State of New York had made the act itself and the invasion © f the United States territory the subject of a Special Message to the Legislature, while the authorities in several other places had called out the citizens to resist future aggressions. In explanation of the attack upon the Ame rican Steamer, it is stated that though she was under the American flag, she had been purchased by the Insurgents, and was employed in conveying men and arms from the United States to the Camp at Navy Island, where MACKENZIE and his followers were in considerable numbers and strength. But upon this theGovernor of New York observes in his Message to the Legislature :— " The occurrence to which I have alluded is an outrage that has not been provoked by any act done, or duty neglected by the government of this state or ofthe Union. If it should appear that this boat was intended to be used for the purpose of keeping up an intercourse between this state and Navy island, which is now held by an assemblage of persons in defiance ofthe Canadian government, this circumstance would furnish no justification for the hostile invasion of our territory and the destruction of the lives of our citizens.'''' In the meantime the President of the United States had sent down a Message to Congress, stating that the law as it stood was insufficient to enable the government to prevent aid being given by American Citizens to whomsoever they chose to afford it, and asking for further powers to the Executive for that purpose. The following proclamation was also issued— BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. A PROCLAMATION. Whereas, information having been received of a dangerous excitement on the northern frontier of the United States, in consequence of the civil war begun in Canada, and instructions having beexi given to the United States officers on that frontier, and applications having been made to the governors ofj- he adjoining states to prevent any unlawful interference on the part of our citizens in the contest unfortunately commenced in the British provinces; additional information has just been received that, notwithstanding the proclamation of the governors of the United States of New York and Vermont, exhorting their citizens to refrain from any acts within the territory of the United States ; and notwithstanding the presence of the civil officers of the United States, who, by my directions, have visited the scene of commotion with the view of impressing the citizens with a proper sense of their duty, the excitement, instead of being appeased, is every day increasing in degree— that arms and, munitions of war. and other supplies, have been procured by the insurgents in the United States— that a military force, consisting, in part at least, of citizens ofthe United States, had been actually organised, had congregated at Navy Island, and were still in arms under the command of a citizen of the United States, and that they were constantly receiving accessions and aid: Now, therefore, to the end that the authority of the laws may be maintained, and the faith of treaties observed, I, Martin Van Buran, do most earnestly exhort all citizens of the United States who have thus violated their duties to return peaceably to their respective homes ; and I hereby warn them, that any persons who shall compromise the neutrality of this government, by interfering in an unlawful manner with the affairs of the neighbouring British provinces, will render themselves liable to arrest and punishment under the laws of the United States, which will be rigidly enforced ; and. also, that they will receive no aid or countenance from their government into whatever difficulties they may be thrown by the violation of the. laws of their country, and of the territory of a neighbouring and friendly nation. Given under my hand at the city of Washington, the fifth day of January, A. n- 1838, and the sixty- second of the independence of the United States. MARTIN VAN BUREN. By the President: JOHN FORSVTH, Seccetary of State. In this state of affairs the next accounts will be looked for with still greater eagerness and anxiety than ever. The references to them in parliament will be read with interest. LATER AND VERY IMPORTANT— THIS DAYi We did not anticipate, when writing what precedes, that later intelligence than that to which it refers would come upon us so soon ; but the Montreal, Packet Ship, from New York for London, having arrived off Falmouth on Thursday last, and landed the letter bags there, New York Papers to the 10th of January were received, and their contents are of the deepest interest and importance. We will connect them with the accounts previously received for the more easy and satisfactory comprehension of the reader. We have stated that the Governor of New York had made the attack upou the Caroline, and the i nvasion of the United States territory the subject of a Special Message to the Legislature, a passage from which is quoted above and the entire of which will be found in the extracts from the American Papers. This document, and the affidavits of such of the crew of the Caroline as escaped, having been transmitted to the PRESIDENT of the United States, they were communicated to the British AmbassadoratWashington, with whose concurrenceM. VanBuren ordered a message to be delivered to the Senate and House of Representatives on the 8th January. This most important Document, after making allowances for any acts which might occur on the Norther: i frontier, where so much excitement prevails, and stating that every precaution had been taken by the American Government to prevent the violation of its territory, proceeds to say that, nevertheless, " An outrage of a most agg r a v a t e d character has been committed, accompanied by a " hostile though temporary invasion of our territory, producing the strongest feelings Df resentment on the part of our Citi- " zens in the neighbourhood, and on the whole border line,. and " that the excitement previously existing lias been alarmingly " increased." The subject— the PRESIDENT further informs the House of Representatives— had been immediately brought under the notice of the British Minister at Washington, pre-' paratory to a demand for reparation, and the Message concludes by asking for such appropriation as the circumstances in which the Country is thus unexpectedly placed require. The apparently angry character of this Message would lead the Public to imagine that results of a hostile nature may ensue, if almost all the Members of the House of Representatives did not, in the discussion which followed, deprecate strongly the idea of a war with Great Britain. We now proceed to lay the Message of the American President, as well as the documents with which it was accompanied before our readers, desiring them to remember, that when Lord PALMERSTON made the speech in the House of Commons on Friday night which will be found in the Parliamentary proceedings, he was in ignorance that such a Message had been sent to Congress— the latest accounts then received from the British Minister at Washington being of the 5th.. and those now acknowledged coining down to the 10th inclusive. HOUSE OF REP11ERENTATIVES. WASHINGTON, MONDAY, JAN. 8. " The following Message in writing was received from the President of the United States, by the hands of his Private Secretary, Abraham Van Buren, Esq. " ' To the Senate and House of Representatives, United States. " 1 In the highly excited state of feeling on the northern frontier, occasioned by the disturbances in Canada, it was to be apprehended that causes of complaint might arise on the line dividing- the United States from her Britanic Majesty's dominions. Every precaution was therefore taken on our part authorised by existing law, and as the troops of the provinces were embodied on the Canadian side, it was hoped that no serious violation of the rights of the United States would be permitted to occur. I regret, however, to inform you that an outrage ofa most aggravated character has been committed, accompanied by a hostile, though temporary invasion of our territory, producing the strongest feelings of resentment on the part of our citizens in the neighbourhood and on the whole border line, and that the excitement previously existing has been alarmingly increased. To guard against the possible recurrence of any Similar act, I have thought it indispensable to call out a portion of the Militia, to be posted on the frontier. The document herewith presented to Congress shows the character ofthe outrage committed, the measures taken in consequence of its occurrence, and the necessity for resorting to them. It will also be seen that the subject was immediately brought to the notice of the British Minister accredited to this country, and the proper steps taken on our part to obtain the fullest information of all the circumstances leading to and attendant upon the transaction, preparatory to a demand for reparation. I ask such appropriation as the circumstances in which our country is thus unexpectedly placed require. ' M. VAN BUREN. " Washington, Jan. 8, 1838.' " " The documents were also read, which consist of affidavits, & c.. detailing the circumstances of the capture ot the Caroline, the orders to General Scott, and the following correspondence with Mr. Fox, & c. : MR. POINSETT TO GENERAL SCOTT. " Department of War, Jan. 5. " SIR,— You will repair, without delay, to the Canada frontier of the United States, and assume the military command there, " Herewith you will receive duplicate letters to the governors of the States of New York and Vermont, requesting them to call into the service ofthe United States such a militia force as you may deem necessary for the defence of that frontier. " This power has been confided to you in the full persuasion that you will use it discreetly, and extend the call only solar as circumstances may seem to require. " It is important that the troops called into the service should be, if possible , exempt from that state of excitement which the late violation of our territory has created, and you will, therefore, impress upon the Governors of these border states, the propriety of selecting troops from a portion of the state distant from the theatre of action. The Executive possesses no legal authority to employ the military force to restrain persons within our jurisdiction, and who ought to be Under our control, from violating our laws, by making incursions into the territory of neighbouring and friendly nations with hostile intent. - 1 can give you, therefore, no instructions on that subject; but request that you will use your influence to prevent such excesses, and to preserve the characterof this Government for good faith and a proper regard for the rights of friendly powers. " The militia will be called into the service for three months, unless sooner discharged ; and in your requisitions you will designate the number of men, and take care that the . officers do not exceed a due proportion It is deemed important that the administrative branch ofthe service should be conducted, wherever practicable, by officers ofthe regular army. " The disposition of the force with regard to the points to be occupied, is confided to your discretion, military skill, and intimate knowledge of the country ; and the amount of that force must depend upon the character and duration of the contest now going on in Canada, and the disposition manifested by the people and the public authorities of that colony. " The President indulges a hope that outrages similar to that lat el occurred at Schlosser, will not be repeated, and that you will be able to maintain the peace of that frontier without being called upon to use the force which has been confided to you. Very respectfully, your most obedient servant. " J. R. POINSETT. Brevet Major General Win field Scott, Washington City." MR. POINSETT TO GOVERNOR MARCY. " Department of War, Jan. 5. " SIR— The territory of the United States having been violated by a party of armed men from the Canada shore, and apprehensions being entertained, from the highly excited feelings of both parties, that similar outrages may lead to an invasion of our soil, the President has thought proper to exercise the authority vested in him by law, and call out such a militia force as may be deemed necessary to protect the frontier of the United States. " I am, in consequence, instructed by the President to request you will call into the service of the United States, and place under the command of Brevet Major- General Scott, such militia force as he may require to be employed on the Canada frontier, herein set forth. " Very respectfully, your most obedient servant; " J. R. POINSETT. " His Excellency W. L. Marcy, " Governor of New York, Albany, New York. Same to his Excellency, Silas H. Jenison, Governor of Vermont, Montpelier, Vermont." MR. FORSYTH TO MR. FOX, " Department of State, Washington, Jan. 5. " SIR— By the direction ofthe President of the United States. 1 have the honour to communicate to you a copy of the evidence furnished to this department of an extraordinary outrage committed from Her Majesty's Province of Upper Canada on the persons and property of citizens of the United States, within the jurisdiction of the State of New York. The destruction of the property and assassination of citizens of the United States on the soil of New York, at the moment when, as is well known to you, the President was anxiously endeavouring to allay the excitement, and earnestly seeking to prevent unfortunate occurrences on the frontier of Canada, has produced upon his mind the most painful emotions of surprise and regret. It will necessarily form the subject of a demand for redress upon Her Majesty's Government. This communication is made to you under the expectation that through your instrumentality an early explanation may be obtained from the authorities of Upper Canada of all the circumstances of the transaction ; and that by your advice to those authorities such decisive precaution may be used as will render, the perpetration of similar acts hereafter impossible. Not doubting the disposition of the Government of Upper Canada to do its duty in punishing the aggressors and preventing future outrage, the President, notwithstanding has deemed it necessary to order a sufficient force on the frontier to repel any attempt of a like character, and to make known to you that if it should occur, be cannot be answerable for the effects of tbe indignation of the neighbouring people of the United States. " I take this occasion to renew to you the assurance of my distinguished consideration. •' JOHN FORSYTH. " To Henry S. Fox, Esq." & c. The following are extracts from these papers :— ( From the New York American. Jan. 9.) More excitement is visible here to- day than at a ny former period ; but the opinion prevails that no interruption will take p lace in the amicable relations between the United States and Great Britain. It is said that the British Minister has expressed his entire satisfaction at the course so far taken by our Government. ( From the New York Journal of Commerce, Jan. 10,) " FROM UPPER CANADA." " By intelligence received, up to Jan, 4, from Buffalo, we learn that three steamboats had been cut out of tbe ice at Buffalo, to convey General Van Rensselaer's ' force at Navy Island up to Lake Erie, to join Dr. Duncombe at Fort Maiden, twelve miles below Detroit. " A gentleman direct from Detroit, according to tbe Rochester Democrat of Wednesdav, confirms the report that Dr. Duncombe is at Fort Maiden with a larg- e Patriot force. " The excitement among the soldiers on Navy Island, on being informed of the savage butchery on board the steam- boatCaroIine, was tremendous; a general parade was ordered, and each took an oath never to sheath& word or bayonet until they had revenged the outrage, sealing the affirmation by kissing the naked steel. " A gentleman direct from Navy Island speaks with confidence of the ability of the Patriots to defend themselves, and ultimately to carry forward the great work of revolution. He thinks the numberon Sunday exceeded 1,500 men, aud it was hourly increasing. He ceunted 20 well mounted cannon, besides the large pieces."— Star. TITHES. IMPORTANT MEETING IN THE PARISH OF KILMURRY. A meeting of the Land- holders, Farmers and other Inhabitants of the Parish of Kilmurry, Protestant and Catholic, was held there on Sunday, Sir AUGUSTUS WARRRN , Bart., in the Chair, for the purppse- of petitioning the Legislature, praying a satisfactory settlement of the present Tithe, system. The parishioners, under the presidency of the respected Baronet, adopted a petition, stating in substance, that under tbe laws relating to the collection of Tithe now in force, more of uncertainty prevailed with respect to liability than was consistent with wise and just legislation j that from this, and othercauses, unparalleled litigation has been engendered ; that the bond of union which should connect Landlord and Tenant has, by the operation of these laws, been greatly endangered, and tils peace of the Country put in peril; that the Ministers of Religion have been constrained to submittothe loss of their income, or to have recourse to the painful alternative of suits at law, and subjected in consequence to much obloquy : that in the taking or letting of land much uncertainty prevailed with respect toTithe Composition, and tbat the perfection of the contract is left, in numberless instances, dependent on the expected legislative enactment, and praying, in mercy to a distracted country, the enactment of such a law as may remove the evils of the present Tithe system, and give general satisfaction and consequent peace to the country. This petition embodies, in our apprehension, the proper topics for the consideration of the Legislature, and the meeting itself has afforded tlie example which was needed, and which may be now followed with propriety and advantage throughout the County, of the landholders and farmers assembling under the presidency of the most respectable individual in their particular locality, and petitioning for a legislative settlement on this subject. We have repeatedly urged on tbe principal Landholders the propriety and necessity of their adopting the course of originating svtc'n petitions, and of taking other proper means of obtaining a satisfactory settlement, which would remove the existing doubts as to the liability, in numerous instances, of Landlords and Ttnants ; terminate the litigation which has been for some years going on, and which is still in such vigorous progress, and give the country some chance of peace and repose. There is no class more deeply interested in a speedy and satisfactory arrangement than the Landlords ; and yet they have not, as a body, taken any proper or efficient step for that purpose. Somewhat more than three years since, in the Summer of 1834, there was a meeting numerously attended, of which Lord CARBERY was the Chairman, and the numerous body of country gentlemen then assembled came to the unfortunate determination of petitioning against the Bill for the settlement of the Tithe question, then in progress in the House of Commons, The Bill of 1834 was shortly afterwards thrown out in the house of Lords, and its rejection was in some degree attributable to the County of Cork petition against it, which was referred to by Lord RODKN as indicating the opinions of the Irish Landlords. That Bill was to have relieved the land of forty per cent, or two fifths of the composition, and was free from the Appropriation clause, which has been since found- such a serious obstacle to any legislative settlement. The Landlords of the County of Cork must have been very soon convinced of the serious error they fell into on that occasion. Very little reflection must have persuaded them that they had adopted a course exceedingly detrimental, not merely to themselves and their tenants, but to the Clergy. The latter, if the bill had passed, would have been since in the enjoyment of a secure, well- paid income, and have avoided all the litigation and the unpleasant collisions with the people which they have had since to encounter. We should suppose that the false step which the County gentry made in 1834 was the cause of their not having interfered with the subject since. They may however, each in his particular locality, or by a general meeting in the City, come forward with propriety and effect to petition for such a law as may afford relief to the land, to the greatest extent to which that object is attainable, settle the existing litigated questions of liability, and give peace to the country. The topics of the Kilmurry petition are those which appeal to us most available in the present aspect of the subject, and may be adopted with advantage in other districts. The landlords will see the necessity of now bestirring themselves, and of making one vigorous exertion, either by a general meeting in Cork, or, if it should be considered more advise, able, by district meetings throughout the County, to terminate a state of things whieh has for the last five or six years been produc - tive of such innumerable evils. The Petition will be found elsewhere. W R E C K O F T H E S T E A M E R , " K I L L A R N E Y . " C O R O N E R ' S I N Q U E S T . THE BRICKFIELDS FISHERMEN.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTHERN REPORTER. DEAR SIR— I shall make no apology for tresspassing on your valuable colums with the following remarks. You indeed don't require any in such cases. I live in Blarney- Lane : my house is built on the verge of the Rock that overhangs the North Abbey. Immediately under my house, built up against the Rock, is a Store, in which is deposited a large quantity of Gunpowder. Persons are seen at all hours of tbe night going into it with lighted candles. A Stable is alongside it, where horses are made up by night. Within 20 yards of it is a Pottery, the sparks from which are frequently dropping on this Magazine, and ail about its immediate neighbourhood. Just picture to yourself, Sir, what must be the feelings of a man retiring to bed every night with his ' family, ten in number, on the very top of this Magazine, and not knowing the moment we will all be blown into eternity. Persons in the neighbourhood applied repeatedly to the owner ofthe Powder, and his reply was, tbat he bad a License from the Mayor, and would not remove it. Can il be possible that the Mayor would r* ive a license for depositing Powder in such a densely populated neighbourhood ? My wife, who is a delicate woman, is eternally ringing in my ears, tbe destruction that was caused some few years ago in Brandy. Lane in this City, when there were, I believe, 20 houses burned down and as many lives lost, by the explosion of a few pounds of powder ; and since the awful calamity in Limerick, I am sure we have never known what a comfortable night's rest was. I call, Sir, ( through the medium of your Paper; on those who have the power, if they value the lives of their fellow creatures, or if tbey possess a particle of humanity, to remove this dangerous* I was going to say this diabolical nuisance, without one moment's delay.— I am, Mr. Editor, your obliged and obedient servant, MATH IAS HEGARTY, M O N D A Y — T H I R D D A Y. The proceedings were resumed this day at half- past eleven in ' he City Grand Jury Room. Before evidence was gone inlo, Mr Cox, one of the Jury, said that being somewhat tbe cause of prolonging tbe investigation, he was induced to adopt that plan in order to give every possible information to the public, and also with a view to set tbe Captain's character right, as well with the public its himself. The mail's character was dear to bim, and if unassailable, he ought to be sent to the bosom of his family unsiained and unaffected; but if it should be proved that he was culpable, he, for oue, would fearlessly do his duty. AnotherJuROR— I don't blame the captain— 1 blame the vessel. ( Oh ! oh .') The CORONER said that the question to be disposed of by the jury would be verv important. Much might result from the course tvhicb tbey would adopt, in regard to the future regulations of steamers in Ireland. The first witness called was— MICH A I. SHEEHAN, second steward ofthe late Killarney steame r - a very intelligent man. He . aid he sailed from Cork in the KUlarney" on Friday, the 19th of Jan. I have served as second steward, with C » pt". Baily, during ihe last six years, during which period I always saw bim conduct himself most properly as a Captain of a vessel and as a gentleman. The last was the third voyage which I had made to Cork in the Killarney. He was always very careful of his vessel, seldom going ashore whist in harbour, " and his attention to the passengers was always most marked and courteous. The Killarney was the fastest sailing vessel out of Bristol— even foster than the Victory, which is considered an excellent sailer. 1 am not a nautical man, but 1 believe she was in excellent trim on leaving Cove on the I9: h of Jan. My business is to attend to the passengers. Here Mr, RICHARD CALLAGHAN entered ihe court, and the proposition being agreed upon at both sides, tho Steward's evidence was suspended, and Mr. Callaghon's entered upon. I look a passage for Bristol on last Friday fortnight in the Killarney, Steamer. We left the quay at Cork, at half past 9, A. M., and went out the harbour about II, A. M. I thought the vessel was heavily laden, a fact which I did not observe until at sen. She laboured a good deal. I attiibutethe over labouring of tbe vessel to the great number of pigs on deck. So crowded was it with pigs that I understood Baron Spolasco's carriage had to be left behind... The deck was quite covered with pigs. I am not aware that any pigs were below, nor am I aware of tbe fore hatches being open. When at sea 1 saw the Captain and Helmsman as if in consultation, and in a few moments the Captain told me he had made up his mind to put about. The vessel was then eight miles off ihe Light- house and labouring greatly, but the sea w as not very heavy. The » ind was blowing hard at the time from S. E. The vessel was then put about, and we went into Cove and there anchored. The vessel on her return did'nt labour as much as when procecdng to sea. A JUROR... Did you press upon the Captain to return ?... No. CORONER... Or was it in consequence of remonstrance or request by you or any of the passengers, that he did return ?. . Certainly not. Did the Captain appear to be careful ?... He appeared to be particularly careful of tiie vessel and passenger. ; be did not leave the deck during my stay in the vessel, nor, I believe, breakfast, as bis breakfast had remained untouched until removed by ibe Cook in consequence of the agitation caused by the sea. 1 thought tbe vessel a slow sailer, but I did not pcireive any thing wrong in her rigging or general out lit. I had no mean, of judging of ihe conduct or competency or number of tbe crew. When I landed at Cove I consulted with Mr. Vcrling and some boatmen as to the weather. Mr. Verting said tbat il 1 weie not in a hurry X had better hot ( to in the vessel. He . aid we were only in ihe beginning of bad weather— tbat the voyage would be a lor. g one, and that I bad better not go. Sir Wm. Daniel gave me a similar opinion on the mate of the weaiher. Mr. Verling considered the vessel a slow sailer, and, under all the circumstances, and not being in a hurry, I made up my mind not to eo in the Killarney. Even if I were in a hurry I think I should bave been directed by Mr. Verling and Str Wm Daniel. Neither gentlemen made any observations on the Captain or Vessel which would have had tbe effect of dissuading roe from proceeding. I apprehended a boisterous and tedious voyage, and 1 did'nt return to the vessel to proceed. • A gentleman, Captain Nicholas , left the Steamer with me. We both went inlo Thomas's Hotel ; 1 understood he returned to the vessel, but 1 never saw him since. 1 saw nothing wrong iri the Vessel, it I except in regard to the gre.. t quantity ot Pigs, upon which I have already spoken. Cross examined by Mr. DEANE... I was oil the deck when leaving Coik. I then saw tbe deck load of Pigs. 1 have often left Cork in Steam Vessels for England. Neither myself nor any one i else, as 1 know of, made any remark on the number of Pigs, or of j the vessel being overloaded. As well as I recollect, Baron Spo: I lasco and I had the conversation as to his carriage being left be- ; hind. As far as I could see I don't think there was room on the i entire deck for five pigs more. In the Cabin there were eight passengers, viz. :— Mr. and Mrs. Law, Baron Spolasco and child, Mr. Fosier, Mr. Collis, and a friend of the Captain, a Mr. Weldie, Capt. Nicholay, and mj self ; I don't recollcct more 1 don't recollect that there was any conversation betw en the Passengers as to tbe state of the weather. There was u goodseii... not a tempestuous • one. I have seen worse seas; it was a heavy swell. When Captain ! Baily intimated to me his intention of returning he did not consult me on the point. 1 am distinct ou the point that the vessel laboured very heavily, and Ihat in consequence of the weight of pigs. 1 have no recollection of Sir Wm. Daniel saying any tiling to me about theves. cl. Mr. PARKER here protested against illegal questions beiug put. Mr. DEANE said he would put whatever questions he thought would best elicit the circumstances of the loss of the Killarney, and let the Coroner object if he pleased, j, To Mr. PARKER... I am not a god sailor. The Killarney was a very large vessel. To a JUROR... If the weather was flne. the number of pigs on deck would not have deterred mc from going in the Killarney on | the 19 h of Jatiuarv. ! Mr. PARKER... Do you think the Agents at Cork would have started that vessel if they thought she had a dangerous cargo on board ?— I can't tell what they'd do ; I dare say ihey would not endanger Ihe vessel or property designedly. 1 would sail wilh Captain Baily on that day as soon as with any other commander ; but subsequent events would have Ihe effect oi'making me unfond of going wiili him. Up lo the time 1 would go withhim most willingly. I have heard since tbat he has gone out in even worse weather. Even though tlie weather did moderate,! am of opinion that lie should not have sailed that evening, nor would I be of a different opinion even tbo' he had made a good and speedy passage. He should, even though tbe weather moderated, have ieft. more time elapse so as to allow the sea to subside.... 1 have : si- en heavier seas than on ihe 19th ult. ; but the sea on that day was too heavy to warrant the propriety of Capt: Buly going to sea. I said to him when he announced he would re: turn, that he would, in my opinion, do a very prudent act. I don't nay it was gross misconduct on the Captain's part to put to sea, but it evinced impatience on his part. A slight portion of sea was shipped while 1 wa. on board— a little more than spray. Mr. CAI. LAGHAN'Sevidence clojed heie. and that of the Steward was re- entered upon... l was'nton deckwbin the Killarney return: ed. as described by. Mr Callagha. i. and 1 daresay the reason of our return was the severe weather tbat prevailed. We put out tosea in the evening, when the weather had moderated. Nobody expostulated with the Captain for going to sea. Mrs. Law asked if tbe vessel was moving; another said she was, hut it was for Passage she was making, the Captain having intimated that be would go there if the weather coniinued bad. Mr. Law did not expostulate against going to sea; ho neither urged the captain to go to sea or to return ; he never made any remark lo the captain on the subject. The captain did not go to bed oil that night. The Killarney had never been bettor manned ihan on that pas sage. 1 have known 800 pigs to be on board the Killaruey. She has olten taken pigs from Dublin to Bristol. The captain uecended to the cabin to his tea between 7 and 8 o'clock : he did not. to my knowledge, take liquor on that evening. He was a sober man. I never saw him intoxicated. I never sa.* bim take a tumbler ot punch ; when up all night he might take a tumbler of negus. All the passengers, except Dr. Spolasco, had retired lo bed before the Captain took his tea, and as soon as the Dr. ^ Spolasco) retired I went to bed. At half past one o'clock on Saturday morning the Cook called me and said it was blowing hard. He asked me lor a glass of grog or a bottle of porter, 1 don't know which. I did not feel that it was blowing hard until the Cook told me so. I then got up and put do.< n tlie dead lights, a duty which always devolved on me in hard weather. 1 put down tive ; the sixth got jammed and Icould'nt put it down. Upon It aving Bristol the lights were found to be rec. 1 ascei. ded the deck and procured ihe Carpenler ; at this time I saw the Captain on thequarter deck. The Carpenter failed to get the light down, and we nailed a matrass and boards up against it, which answered very well until it was re- washed in, which took place in five hours after, when we nailed it up again, and in a quarter of an hour, it was washed in. Again it was put up, and 1 don't think it was broken in again. Very liitle water came in thereat— not enough to wet the whole of the carpet on the floor. At a little before daylight I went on deck ; the weather was then blowing fresh ; there was a heavy sea, but 1 saw. r. o sea shipped, except the spray that beat over the Paddle- box, and all the crew were on duty. I was standing near the main ' latch , the vessel lurched and rolled, the pig- p'. unks save way, and the pigs all went or fell to leeward, thereby giving the vessel a great list ; she recovered, and rolled back ; at this time, as I saw, none of the pigs hud been thrown overboard. There was an endeavour made, by planks, to keep the pigs to windward. The Engines were all • his time stopped; they were stopped when I got on deck. The fore stay- sail was set ; I got a sprained leg from tbe falling of the pig planks, I then went to tbe Ladies' Cabin, and lay on a sofa. 1 had been on deck about an hoar, assisting in getting the pigs to right and the vessel in trim. Mrs. Law asked me what had happened ? I said 1 had sprained my ancle. She said 1 had better bandage it. Dr. Spolasco soon after bandaged it, and I went on deck, it being day. light. 1 . aw the sailors pumping, and, on one leg. 1 assisted tbem. Tbe eea was running high. The stay sail was blown away ; we set the jib, and that was also blown away. The main Iri- snil was then set, and it was soon split — TheCaptain had directed the setting of the sails. She now drifted, anil tbe Captain called out to the Engineers, both of whom subsequently died on the rock, to get up the steam witb all possible baste. The pumps coniinued to be worked. I saw no sea breaking over or washing into the ship ; still the water came from tbe bold. A plank mint have started in the hull and a leak sprung I bave no ether way of accounting for it. She might have shipped three or four tons of water on deck, but very little of it got into the hold. At thi. time the gangways were opened to leeward and the pigs w ere thrown over at 20 to 30 at a lime. A number of the pigs had got between the Paddle Boxes, and could uot begot over. I don't know if the fore batches were put down. At about 12 o'Clock the Captain told Mr. Ward, the Head Steward, that he had better go and tell the passengers to come up ou deck ; tbey all came on deck, except Doctor Spolasco, and Mrs. Lawe, Mr. Nicholay went on deck in bis shirt and trowsers, but returned lo tbe cabin, when be put on bis boots and large coat. About one o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Law got up ; she dressed herself in black. Mr. Foster having announced that he had seen land, 1 went up again, and I saw it also; we soon found that the land was t i e Sovereign's Island.; we were abreast o f i t to leeward ; the main tii- sail was still set; there were 2 men steering, and two attending the relieving teicles. Tbe Captain all the ime being on deck, giving orders, and Captain Nicholav, Mr. Ftoster, Mr, Ward, Mr. Weldie and myself being a t t h e Pumps which were now being worked four or five houis— be water coming up as freely as ever. The steam was now got up for a short period; the wheels rroved very slowly, and were of little use. The steam was up about an hour, when it went down again... the vessel, in tbe mean time, drifting towards the coast. Here the Captain and mate went to the wheel, and succeeded in tacking about the vessel, putting her head to the sea... towards Cerk harbour. Mr. Weldie thought that it would be as easy to gain Cork Harbour as any other, but tbat he apprehended she wou'd go ashore; indeed he told Mrs. Law' tbat all hopes of making a harbour were vain. This occurred about half past three o'clock. At half past four the vessel struck, her head continuing to be turned to Cnrk. The Captain and Mate preserved coolness and deliberation during the day, both doing their duty with great steadiness, and not one of the Crewbad the oppearanee of drunkenness. Every one thought his life in danger, and he worked bard to save it. We made bead- way from the Sovereign's Island, until we struck. If an attempt had been made to turn for Roberts's Cove we would have pooped, and every thing on deck would have been s « ept off. Mr. Foster suggested to run into Roberts's Cove, which, he said, was a boat harbour, but the Captain . aid—" My dear man, if i. not Roberts's Cove— there is no place at which I car. get in tbe vessel, and if I attempt it, we'll be lost." It was Nohoval Cove that Mr, Foster pointed out. as Roberts'. Cove, and 1 am aware there are two rocks at the entrance of it The steam was completely down when Mr. Foster made the suggestion, and the vessel unmanagable. Every possible exertion was made to save the vessel. Before she struck the rock a very heavv sea came over the stern, and carried away every thing on the quarter deck, taking off Mr. Law and Capt. Nicholay. Mrs. Law held on by the ' Companion.' When she struck she reeled backwards and forwards. The first who got on shore was the carpenter, w ho died in 5 minutes after leaving the rock on Monday evening. I followed the Captain in jumping a. hore, which was done when the vessel rolled on the rock. Mr. Ward* was drowned in making an attempt at tbe wrong time. All the sailors and the firemen, and tho woman who survived wer « on the rock before tbe Capt. left the Steamer. Several were saved by the persons on the rock catching them as ihey jumped ashore. I assisted Mrs. Law ; but really she assisted me more than I assisted her. She jumped off the vessel the moment I desired her, and ran up Ihe rock, where she stopped 5 or 10 minutes, when a sea washed her off. Dr. Spolasco's child was lost by his father letting him go too soon to a sailor on shore. Cross- exammed by Mr. DEANE— There were eight Cabin and eleven Deck Passengers, and there weretwentv- four hands' including Mr. Weldie. I include the Stewardess. " Six seamen' four firemen, two coal trimmers, two engineer, two mates, tho cook, tbe Captain, the head steward, the assistant steward, stewardess, and two men belonging to the Juno, making in all 44, of whom 13 survived- tbirty- one having been drowned or died. The 800 Pigs I mentioned before were shipped at Dublin for Bristol. They were of a smaller size than those usually shipped at Cork. There was a space on the Deck on the Friday for 30 or 40 Pigs iu additiou to those then shipped I have seen a heavier deck load than that of the 19th of Janu- irv ' Twas during Winter I saw the 800 Pig. sent from Dublin to Bristol. Could she have gone on in her voyage if the steam had not stopped ? We would have gone on if the steam bad continued I attribute tbe straining of the vessel to the heaviness of theses* - n--- . . qoiuii u , n . 1 oon t Know that there were any sails on board but those I have described I am not certain that there were any of the owners of the n i^ on doard. 18 JUROR...

In case of pigs being thrown overboard and the vessel arriving safe, how are the shippers treated? The » biuDers ate refunded lhe freight; and in case of pigs dying on board they have the option of gelling them salted and brought back in the steamer. * A conversation here sprung up as to the production of Doctor Spolasco as a witness. Tbe greater portion of ihe Jury inti mated that they bad feard enough to . atisfy them in framin* their verdict; wnilst others said ihat uniil the gentleman named was brought forward they would'nt be satisfied An adjournment to 11 o'clock on Thursday then took place. A LGORCAANLD TPARXOAJ TE ICOT NI. ! ! The Committee appointed at a Pubiic Meeting to prepare the Local Bill for the future taxation of the City and Liberiie., as. scmbled yesterday at 2 o'clock, in the County Grand Jury Room j the City one being occupied still witb the Coroners' Inquest on one Of the persons drowned in the unfortunate wreck of the Kil larney steamer. Tbe attendance of tbe Committee was fuller th. n ordinary, as it. was abo on the part of the public, all annearinS j anxiousto hear Mr. Wberland develope hisgrand plan for do nf : away with local taxation, or at. least, lightening the burdens to f F very great extent. The usual Chairman, Mr. 8AM. LANE being absent, Mr. W. Crawford was requested to take the Chair to j which he consented until Iho arrival of . Mr. Lane, which toot I place soon after. V * CRAWFORO took it for granted they were met to hear Mr Wherland stale his Plan, who he supposed was present J Mr. WHERLAND announced himself, antl begged to ask under ! « b a t designation they met, or for what purpose the' C ommittee was called together, as he should tben beenahled to know how to i address them in the lelter be had prepared, and which he held in : hiS,', a, n I' 1' u l h l s m 1 a t , « l> ei" g explained to him by Mr. CRAWFORD i a n d L M r - H a ! e s ' , he t h e n Proceeded to read the letter, which was 1 to ihe effect that, having on the last day of meeting, made*, pro I position for devising a plan to reduccthe local taxation, which at present amounted to £ 3 l , 0 0 0 p e r annum, a sum oppressive in amount unequal in ils assessment, and of course unjust in the levy, lo imagine he could raise this enormous sum without » nv taxulion would be madness in him, for the various bearines ir. operation were not now locally and equally apportioned. Some were heavily oppressed and others were partially exempted His plan would produce a positive reduction of 75 per Cent on the present amount, and the other 25 per cent, would be levied fairlv equally and equitably. He was prepared with his' plan and* would submit it to the scrutiny of a Committee of five members tour to be appointed by the Commi, tee^- two Irom the mercantile and two from the agricultural class of menabeis, and orte by himself, and the one he should chose as his nominee would be Joseph Hayes, Esq. The Committee to be pledged to secrecy. The condition of his disclosing his " plan should he, the Committee, oil betalfof the public were t o e ui rantee htm the payment of £ 1,0011, and thev should also » aar « nlee, if his plan was aated. 0 i, or any part adopted, ( it being such as when disclosed would deprive hirn of £ 2( 11) per annum whi h he at present e n j o y * , h e should be appointed Comptroller of 1 axes, at a salary of £ 365 per annum. Such were his terms as ho would have to provide for bis old age. - Mr. CRAWFORD— You promise to relieve the citizens of Cork of between £ 2 3 and ± 24.01) 0, three fourths of the £ 3 1 OOOsaved by your plan— or to save to that amount ? Mr. DALT thought it so valuable it ought to be referred to tbo Chancellor of the Exchequer. If so valuable for Cork whv not be oppfed to the Nation in general? Alderman SPEARING said there was one part of his terms thev could notcomplv with, for no promise ihey could make of sala ry wou'd be binding on otheis to perform. Tbat part was out of the question, anil it was impossible for it to be acted uDon 1 bey could bind the acts of others after them. • " Mr. HAYES... True that car, only be done by Act of Parliament, . Mr WUEKLAND... There are various precedents for it in local and private Bills. Mr, HAYES... You are quite right, for objections were made against the arrangements entered into by some of the Banks and much discontent grew outof tbem. Others attempted it bv' Private deed., but it can only be done effectually by Act of Parliament. Air. Wherland was a man of shrewdness, and he ( Mr Hi hoped he would strike out some better mode than thus to encumber ills plan, but offer something more practical. Some mav consider it against public policy to have an office created to be filled by himself. Mr. WHERLAND— It was only tosecure something for himself as others would be probably called on to fill it. * Mr. SUGRUE enquired wbat security had they, for it may turn out he would give no value by liisplan. He would su< rge3t the g-. lt of a larger sum of money, say £ 3,000, if found useful or beneficial to the public, and not to create an office that would be independent of them, oud beyond tbeir coutroul. Mr. WHERLAND... The disclosure of my plan will deprive me of £ 2 0 0 per annum, which I at present enjov. I think I look for nothing extraordinary. Mr. S. LANE considered it was the wrong way to nroced- thc public may think it unnecessary to appoint such an officcr. Mr. WHERLAND would state a fact in point, to show he ought not to depend on the caprice of others. They all knew the talent of Mr. Bruncll ; he invented the Block Machine for supplying tbe British Navy, and all other parts of the world with Blocks ; Ins treaty was with the Government, and he only asked one year's profit in the transaction. They urged him on but how was he treated in the end ? The machine commenced vvoik and on the first year it saved £ 400,000, and he was put off with £ 1,0000. 1 Alderman SREARING— If Mr. Wherland sought anv thing tangible, something may be done , but they saw, as in the case of the Banks, where individuals got annuities, it did not work well after. No individual would risk his property to bind himself tor such a demand. They could not perform that part of the stipulation and It would be injudicious, if thev could, to pay an annuity of £ 365, and have no controul over it after Mr Sugrue'n suggestion he thought the best. Mr. WHERLAND considered if he gave up £ 2 0 0 per annum, he was entitled to some remuneration— he stood there unsupported and be could develope his plan in a few words, but he was not to place his talents against those of the united bodv of Rate Payers and Committee. Mr. HA YES denied this charge— be ( Mr. W.) was treated respectfully ; he himself was disposed to give him every assistanceit was only if his plan was ibe B.- rricr system he may expect opposition, as it was suggested by others. Mr. S. LANE said all were disposed lo assist him in his views of benefit! ing tbe public. Mr. WHERLAND— Some are for scouting them, but his propo silion must be supported by an Act of Parliament. Mr. HAYES— Let it be shaped then, so as that when tho proposition be placed before the House of Commons, you may not be thrown on your beam ends. They may adopt a part when disclosed, and reject more, and throw you overboard. Mr. DALY— If it be so good a plan it would be better get a patent for it. Mr WHERLAND— I had belter retire. ( No, no, from several voices.) Mr. HA YES recommended he should adopt the course suggested by the Chairman, leaving it to the power and good feeling of the committee to do what they could for him. For himself he would Pay, the man ought to b t the Chief Officer who devised the plan, as it may be interred he could carry it best into effect. He ( Mr. W.) might defeat bis own ends, if he persevered in his views of seeking for an annuity of £ 365, which they could not give. Mr. J. WHERLALD said that he had devised tbe for the Annuity Society of which he was Secretary , plan and THE CORK SOUTHERN REPORTER. the first step some persons took was to endeavour to turn him out of his situation Mr. CRAWFORD— As you have talked of the Annuity Society, you ought to know the value of annuities, arrl you could eateu: late for what sum you could purchase a sufficient one for the purpose. Mr. HAVES... He would he entitled to the full amount of any situation be may lose by disclosing the plan, and somcthingelse for the saving he would effect. Mr. DAi. v... But why give up the situa'ion of £ 200 per An: r. um ? Mr. WHERI. AND... Because the funds from which it is got, are to be made applicable to the furtherance of the plan, and to be: ncfit the public. Mr. D A L Y considered tbey were only working in the dark, when they were talking of making a bargain for tbe Public. It sbquld be done openly... they were only, to use an old saying... ' Buying a pig in a bag." How could they make a bargain for that of which they knew nothing? • Mr. CLEAR... It was only contingently, of the plan being adopted. Mr. WHF. RI. AND... All he required was to do him justice and to protect him and his family from loss. Alderman S P E A R I N C .. We are all acting for our interest... which is the same as your's in the business ; bul we wish to act on in: telligiblc grounds. Mr. WHEKLANn then declared his willingness to trust to their justice and consideration. Mr. HAVES— You will find it is the best plan... and you will be fully remunerated in the end. Mr. WHERI. AND trusted that neither himself nor they wonld be disappointed in tbeir expectations. The next thing was to appoint the Committee. Mr, Hnyes. who was the same as the public, had kindly consented fo act for him on it ; they were next to take two from the Agricultural and two from the Trading Interest. Mr. S. LAKE... You consent to take £ 1000 and leave the rest to the Committee. Ycu withdraw the claim of annuity for £ 365 and look to future reuuneration for tbat ? Mr. WHEKLANn— He was now in thtir hands on honour, and he would leave it to them lo take care of him. Mr. HAVES said there was one point he would suggest; he had an objection to go into a Committee tied up to secresy ; for if any plan which struck himself was proposed he would not be tied up from mentioning i t ; for instance, he had a strong opinion on the Turnpike question. Mr. FRANKLIN... That was already on their books, an axtract from which he read, by which it appeared the Committee had decided they were to be placed or displaced under the contem: plated bill as the Commissioners should decide. Mr. CRAWFORD next alluded to a plan suggested by Mr. Roberts ofa tax on carriages. Mr. W H E R L A N D said on tbat point he would make a stand, as he could proie it was bis plan, laid before the Grand Jury some years since, and he was entitled to be considcied the originator of it. no matter from what source they got it. Mr. John M'Donnell and he had had some consultations on it, and ihey calculated the number of vehicles which entered and left the City. Mr. DALY hoped it would never be acted on. Mr. WHKHI. AND... It is only a part of my plan. Alderman SrF. ARiNG... We all know the benefit of the Barrier plan, which has been so long ijcted on at Paris. But many things are good in theory which may not be good in practice. Mr. WHERLAND... The money expended on the streets in paving, & c., is over £ 10,000 per annum, and who is it that injures them most ? Mr. WHERLAND then exhibited his plan, a toll of paper, which he Slid contained 7 pages of Fool's cap. Mr CBAWFORn— Every thing in this transaction must be done on paper, and he then desired the Secretary, Mr. Franklin, to take down the terms. Mr. FRANKLIN then entered to the effect in his book, that Mr. Wherland proposed to point out a mode of relieving theirCity and Liberties from the present amount ot Grand Jury taxation to the extent of 75 per Cent, cn eontlition of his being paid £ 1000, and such further sum as the Committee may think equitable, but he was not to be paid as an officer. Mr. S LANE enquired how long they were to be bound to sccresv ? Mr." W H E R L A N D replied... If they decided his plan was feasible, it may be at once exposed ; but if not they w ere to hold it in secrfsv. Mr." CorriNGER .. If they decided for it, and that it did not work well after, how were thoy to stand ? Mr. WHERLAND thought tbey could confidc in him that he would not propose a chimera. Mr. HAVES... They must be charged to icporton it to a public meeting of the Citizens and Cess Payers. Air. WHERI. AND.. My sources of revenue amount to £ 6 0 , 0 00 per annum. These are my ways and means. Mr. CRAWFORD— So then you will not only save fths of the taxation, but you will more than double the revenues of the city. Mr. WHERI. AND— By revetting to my terms, of leaving only 25 psr cent. I will give ample power of knocking off excrescences. The Committee were then about to be named, and the first selected to tie on il was Mr. Crawford. Mr. CRAWFORD at first declined, and after some time said he would candidly state his reason. He had met, he said, Mr. Wherland in the street, who came up to him and said " I'll oppose your Bill— it is all nonsense, and I will make the Wide Street Board defunct." He Mr. C wa3 not disposed to treat any person with discourtesy, but Mr. W. acted in such a manner, that a gentleman in his company said *' 1 think Whcrland is mad.... ( A laugh), Mr. " WHERLAND... What the Gentleman said may be fact... but this I know, 1 have method in my m a d n e s s . . . ^ laugh.) Several Gentlemen were then named but they all wisiied to decline. . Mr,, PAGAN... There is Mr. Hayes one. Mr. HAVES .. But I must have some colaboralor » ...(^ laugh). The CHAIRMAN then named Mr. James Murphy, and it was carried by the Committee. Tbe name of Mr. Crawford was also put and carried. Mr. CRAWFORD said he would not act unless Aldermao Spearing and Mr. Clear joined him. Mr JAMES MURFHY claimed the same privilege, and would net acccDt the siiuaiion unless Mr. Sugrue was one. Finally the Committee were named es follows : Mr. Crawford, Alderm. Spearing,! Mr. P. Harris, Mr. J. Murphy, Mr. Clear, i Mr. Coppingcr. Mr. S. Lane, | And Mr. Hayes on the part of Mr. Whcrland. Mr JOHN M ' D O N N E L L wished to say a few words now. as Mr Whcrland had alluded lo him. He did mention lo him the plan of ihe Turnpikes, but it was only the same as published in the Southern R porter ; it was a part of bis plan, and he had made a calculation thai 28 000 vehicles left this city and returned within a fortnight. He appeared to possess full information on the subject, and he. Mr. M'DcnaeH, considered great relief in taxation would bo the result. " •!••• » Tbe Meeting then broke up, but the committee appointed remained with Mr. Whcrland, and at once proceeded to business, by entering on the plan he was to submit to them. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTHERN REPORTER. SIR— One cannot look into any of the Orange Newspapers without being horrified at the depraved minds of the miscreants, who cater to fill up their columns, with libels on either the people of this Country o their Clergy. On looking at the Limerick Chronicle of this day I read the following " The body of Patrick Desmond, one ofthe Coast Guard men, was wash ed ashore on the Coast, adjoining where the Killarney, Steamer, was wrecked ; it is supposed from the minks of violence on his person, that he vraa murdered while preventing the Country people from plunder." Could any thing be more atrocious than the above, after the verdict found hy the Coroner's Inquest, on the body of poor Desmond, who, instead of being murdered, was invited to a lodging during the inclement night, by a peasant, in his own house and who, instead of accepting the Invitation, replied he would lose his situation if he did not proceed oil his mission— a mission which proved fatal to him, by falling over a cliff. In another part of the same paper a miscreant writing trom London says:— " The people here were horrified at the fiend- like atrocity that could have prompted the cutting of the rope prepared to assist in saving the Uvea of the unfortunate beings, thrown upon the rock, near Cork, from the wreck of the Steamer Killarney, which appeared in the Limerick Chronicle, but your snb- equent accounts deny such a savage act.'! " If such atrocity could be proved ugoinst the Irish Peasantry, it would tend more to harrow up the feelings of the English people, than any other offence of theirs on record, but for the honor of human nature it is satisfactory to have it disproved." QeBRE— la it not very unsatisfactory tt) this wretch and his employe rs that the shadow of a proof could not be given of so great a crime against the " Irish Peasantry ?" In your Paper of Thursday, you had to contradict, by affidavit, another barbarous and savage act published by the Constitution, & c., and said to have been committed by a Priest in the neighbourhood of Abbeyfeale, hut which turned out to be an invention. When is the Land to be rid of these monsters ? AN ENEMY TO SLANDER AND MISREPRESENTATION. Cork, February 3, 1838.

S WARREN, Bart, presided, the following Petition to both Houses of Parliament was adopted :— To tbe Honorable and Right Honorable the Knights, Citizens, and Burgesses in Parliament assembled. The Petition of the Undersigned Protestint and Catholic Landholders of the Parish of Kilmuriy, in the Counly of Cork, HUMBLY SHEWETH— That your Petitioners implore of your Honourable House an immediate Legislative arrangement on the subject of Tillies in Ireland. That under the Laws of Tithes, as now in force, more of uncertainty with respect to liability exists than is consistent with wise and just Legislation. That, from these as well as other causes, claims for Tithes under existing laws, have been resisted 10 such a degree as has engendered litigation in every point of view without a parallel in the history of this or any other country. That the operation of the laws has in very many ininstances weakened, if not broke, tbe bond of union that should • anrect landlord and tenant, and lhal it has moreover very often put in peril the peace of the country. That under the tithe laws now in force the ministers of religion have been constrained to submit to the less of their incomes or to have recourse to the painful alternative of suits at law with their parishioners and have in consequence been subjected to much obliquy. ' 1 hat your Petitioners would impress on the consideration of your honourable house, how desirable it would be that the laws should be so changed as would remove or make less frequent the causes that now almost of necessity involve the clergy in law proceedings so foreign to their tastes, their habits and their duties. That your pelitione- s would also impress on the consideration of your Honorable House, lhat » legislative enactment on Tithes has for sometime been expected, and that there have and do exist causes for such an enact 1 ent, as must, whilst they give the landholder hopes of a mitigation o f a heavy tax, also tend to keep him in a degree of suspense, that cannot be consistent with that general feeling of security which the well being of the country requires. That in the taking or letting of land such uncertainty prevails with tespect to tithes or tithe composition, that the perfection of the contract is in numberless instances leftdepen: dent on the expected enactment on Tithes. That your petitioners supplicate of your Honorable House to take tbe premises into your gracious consideration, and in mercy to a distracted country, to enact, in your wisdom and judgment, a law that may remove the evils of the present Tvtlie system, and give general satisfaction and consequent peace to the country. And your petitioners will ever pray. ' Q A M U E L , by Divine per ) i o mission Lord Bishop o SEAL ofthe LORD BISHOP Of Cork, Cloyne and Ross. yCork, Cloyne and Ross. To SAMUEL, CORK, CLOYNE& ROSS.

THE PET OF THE GUARDS. THE HON. CAPTAIN LAVANDE TO LADY JANE POMADE. Lady Jane, I have scarce time for writing, Or sending adieus, for alas ! 1 am shared the sad shock of reciting The act which has now tome to pass, ' Twas settled last night while you fretted, Or warbled that song of the bards— I saw myself quickly gazetted As Captain Lnvande of the Guards ! But now I'm commission'd my dearest ! My valouris cooling apace, And the courage you often thought clearest Thinks fighting a different case. Canadians use rifles for shooting, ' Tis that which my pleasure retards, They'll kill me and end the disputing Of Captain Lavande of the Guards. I thought when I heard you last talking Of liberty— victory— breath. ' Twas an omen my joys to be baulldng Or bringing me " in at the death." I shrunk with afright when you lectur'd On bursting of boms and petards, And curs'd my old I'a" when he Hector'd Hot Captain Lavande of the Guards. Though I practls'd my hand at gun shooting, And pistols let off by the hour, I'd rather have done with recruiting, To read in your own pretty bower.

I know that it would be much easier to get a popular assembly to demand a tax, and demand the spending of i t ; but it will not be expected I should tell you what I believe would be a falsehood. I do not think out- door relief would serve the honest industrious poor, and as integrity has made the seconder of the amendment for conscience sake, opp ose Ireland's darling outcry, so for truth and conscience sake I dare to tellyou- that out- door relief is against your interest and you are yourself the artizans of your own advancement, if proper facility be given you. Then, Irishmen, and freemen, free from servility and fraud, you may despise all theLargesses which corrupted and prostrated ancient Rome, and seek to place the dignity of honest industry on a more permanent and honourable basis than that of violent paupers tearing from less courageous, though nearly as abject a class, the wages of profligacy. Oh, men ask relief for your destitute ; you ought to get it ; but independence for yourselves, and if yon go justly, honestly and wisely to work, you will, you must attain to it. TIIE TITHE CAMPAIGN. COMBINATION. The following is the petition, prepared by the committee of the late meeting at the Koyal Exchange, Dublin, which was promised in our l a s t : .. To the Bight Honourable and Honourable the Commons of t'neUuiteJ Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled. The petition of the undersigned bankers, merchants, manufacturers, traders, householders, and other inhabitants of the city of Dublin. HUMBLY SHOWETH. . That a widely- extended system of secret illegal combination has long existed, and still continues to exist, in the city of Dublin. That the avowed object of this illegal association is to deny and prevent that unrestricted freedom of labour and capital whieh the laws of the land, founded on a due consideration of the rights of individuals, and of the best interests of society, have deliberately and authoritatively established. That the individuals engaged in this secret and unlawful com: bination have enacted and promulgated certain arbitrary rules and regulations, to the authority of which they demand the un ATTEMPTED SALE OF CATTLE, FOR TITHES— — LAUGHABLE DEFEAT OF THE TITHE EATERS 1 1 POOR- LAW M E E T I N G - O U T DOOR RELIEF. Mr. DOWDEN maintained his argument against out- door reief at the meeting last Tuesday nearly as follows :— It seems, Mr. Mayor, very inconsistent of persons who exclaim against the burdensomeness of the proposed Poor- law, to advocate the additional and unmanageable burden of out- door relief. Conscious of the proposed amendment being the origin of exceeding fraud, it is said " guard it well." It cannot be guarded well.— And then great stress is laid upon the Guardians having to dispense their own, as well as other people's money. Sir, this is a flagrant deception. The Guardians will have to distribute money or relief, nineteen- twentieths of which will not be their own, and be sure they will be generous enough of the whole. They lose but. a shilling out of every twenty they are liberal of, and surely the " humanity men" of society will not be selfish on such a saving.. as cheaper liberality they never can effect to command. Why, Sir, riding another man's horse with your own spurs is but a type of what these Guardians would be driven into, and . their share of the expense, being like the wear and tear of spur- lcather, very small. I think those who carry the burden would have to bite the bridle. I have tried to attend closely to the argument of the mover and seconder of this motion, and that with a view, not to see defects in their reasoning, but to try if any point of it really shewed necessity for this dangerous power, not a single working case have they shown requiring indispensably requiring, ont- door relief ; I know but for their examination the question that occurs to me just now, which is, tbat sick persons who cannot be moved to the Workhouse, or its Hospital, might, perhaps, on the Dispensary or Infirmary Physicians' certificate, have their cases left optional with the Guardians. 1 throw this out for consideration— I have not had time to weigh its feasibility. All other cases I unhesitatingly pronounce impracticable, and tmhecessary if'practicable. These Workhouses gentlemen think are a novelty. Yes, they are ; they will save many a fellow- creatnre from famishing ; they cannot directly do much more ; but I am sure they will be an indication of security and peace in Ireland, which will draw manufacturing capital, even from among ourselves, into active and profitable operation. Poor- houses cannot do every thing, nor is it intended they should; no, no, it is the bold, strong and effective arms of the labouring and independant population, which must raise the nation in comfort and prosperity, and is it by alms we want the people to be sustained ? Never, never; all we ask is— leave and facility to work, and we ask no alms, except to meet those casualties which will always threaten destitution on some of the poor, where trade, manufactures and even agriculture are liable to nstural and still more to artificial fluctuations. Let us work ; that is our chief demand, and here let me follow up Mr. Crawford, by saying that we have a claim ou Government for an outlay in certain great national facilities, and which would soon repay them in the increased consumption of taxed goods by the people. Scotland has her Caledonian Canal; whether it pays or not it is, I believe, an imperial to the Scottish nation. England has got our Absentees, another imperial gift, and one at our expense. Even Canada, disobedient Canada, has the Rideau Canal, for which we pay taxes. Now Canada, and every other large State, ought to have as much freedom as they can keep ; but she is out at sea, and got whatever she asked for years.— " If I don't get it I'll grumble at old Father Billy" was their cry and to keep a quiet house at the Foreign Office nothing in public expense was refused to them. Now we hfve not grumbled, only when our very blood was torn from us. Indeed our bellies grumbled before our mouths did, and sure we are the very patterns of amiability now. We must go to Mamma now, and ask a Victoria rail- road through Ireland which will conquer the hungry grumble very generally. I heard of a gentleman's son who misbebeaved, and was sent on a pleasant tour to humour him ; his eldest hope said, " ah, I must misbehave, too, and I shall be indulged like him." Now ministers ought to do something useful for us before we repine at our goodbehavour, the West Indies, Canada, Scotland, England, all have been petted, but we are not attenled to ; we want a Rail- road from Dublin to Valentia, from Dublin to Galway, from Dublin to Waterford, and from Dublin to Belfast. That is the grand cross which the Queen ought to confer on us of St. Patrick, and that is what would keep empty the Work- houses. 1 hope they may never work well. Work the people; and unwork the Work- houses for ever ; but until these days come, the Winter must be kept from the destitute by giving them food, clothing, a fire, and a house over their heads. But out- door relief will degrade the people ; they will become established, willing paupers in thousands. I remember when some out- door relief was given at the House of Industry here, it was stated that many who went there, and got a meal of food, took the amount, a penny or three half pence, direct to the whiskey- shop, aye, drank the struggling shop- keeper's contribution before they left George's- quay ; and can you, with any kind of care, under this out- door relief system, hinder this fellow against the really poor ? you cannot— it is impossible.— Do you not know that the sturdy and shameless— the street beggars, will practice on the Guardians, if the Guardians are allowed by law to yield to them ? It is told of a Spirit Merchant, who lately lived on George's- quay ; that he imported the very best Couiac Brandy, and for whom ? For the Clergy ? no, for your AVorship and the Aldermen > no, but for the worghipful company of streetbeggers. and theGuild used nothing else. You want to give them an heir loom in their taxation of the public regularly under statute, and through guardians. Some years since, I believe in the shrievalty of Burgess Atkins, I was assisting in gathering up the fragments belonging to a beggar- woman in William- street. She had considerable property in notes, silver, and in her room, snd after searching the small coal, dirty straw and saw dust, and, saving your Worship's, presence, disturbing some thousands ot fleas, we got .£' 16 to £ 2 0 . i n half- pence. Yet her next door neighbour, considering her very destitute, gave her everyday " a drop of milk for her tea." Why, Sir, out door relief must be one tissue of fraud, of uncbeckab e and irretrievable fraud. Every one here could give a dozen instances to prove this. I shall once more trouble you.. I was administrator of a charity, it was a limited one, and its committee was small, and the resources flowed almost entirely from themselves. Yet some corrupt cases got on their books and there was no getting them off, while the funds were to be, had, but poverty brought reform on their manner of working. Onecase was remarkable. Awoman was getting out- door relief, and she was able to work— her brother was a tradesman earning over 24s a- week— he idled one day every week, when he could have earned four more, and drank that day regularly, which I suppose cost him from half a crown to a crown a week— yet it was hard to get the committee to get this woman on her own or brother's exertion, and the really poor were robbed to sustain tlid profligacy or idleness of the fictitious poor. Every practical case I either know or have heard of, is against legally- levied ont- door relief. Let the humane still do their work and they will have a blessing in i t .. but taxes thus spent are iniquity and wrong. At Christmas time, it is the desire of every christian to convey to the heart of every fellow- man a portion of that joy which the great events of that season would convey to all who are not miserable. The different clergy use all their anxiety to distribute the aids given themwithcare and usefulness, but even that charity is grossly abused. The strong, impatient, and violent beats down modest and less frontless poverty, aud some decline giv- WATERFORD, THURSDAY, FEB. 1.— Yesterday evening about 4 o'clock, the inhabitants of Ballybricken were somewhat surprised, at the unusual spectacle of a subaltern's guard, of the 86th infantry, and a party of police headed by Mr. Foley, the deputy sheriff of this county, the rere being brought up by three ofthe most ill- conditioned mortals our eyes ever beheld., with scarcely a tatter to conceal their rudity, and wbo are known by the name of " Drivers," surrounding nine " head" of cattle, and marching with military precision up the Mayor's- walk, till they arrived in front of the county gaol. The partyimmediately formed themselves into a square, the north of which was formed by the gaol gate, and in the midst of which the cattle, which looked sleek and well as though they had but just left their provision stalls, were placed. The news spread like wildfire, that a tithe- sale was about to be held, and the intelligence, we need not tell, sufficed to attract hundreds to the spot, in an incredible short space of time, who surrounded the military and police and looked eagerly at the victims about to be imolated to the Mammon of unrighteousness. The cattle, it soon was known belonged to a decent Catholic farmer of the name of Robert Portle, who lives between this and Passage, and they were on that day distrained by the Deputy Sheriff, under a warrant for ,£ 36 and costs alleged to be due as tithes to the Kev. Henry Fleury, theProtestant clergyman of the parish of Killea. The farmer bad other cattle under lock in his out houses, of which he informed the Deputy Sheriff, and which he said that he might take away by breaking tbe doors if he desired, but that gentleman very properly declined to do so. After the arrangement of preliminaries, certain of those wags who abound in Ballybricken, and are connected with the " victualling department" begged leave to pass the cordon militaire, and obtain a closer view of the cattle, in order to test their value the more accurately. The deputy Sheriff, with great politeness, bowed to the request, and ludicrous was the scene that followed. The mouths of the dumb beasts were scientifically opened— their teeth examined— their horns scrutinized— their ribs felt— in fact the most knowing of Smithfield's burly buyers could not betray more care before tbey come to a decision— but tho' the cattle, as we have observed were, in our judgment, faultless, the significant shrugs and winks of the butchers, responded to as they were by the loud laughter of the populace, told that the tithe mark was upon them, and thatliowever excellent they were without. it they could obtain few purchasers while it remained affixed to them. The sale commenced and all was silent as the grave. A pin could not be heard fall from one end to the other of the wide region of Ballybricken. One of the downcast looking drivers acted as auctioneer— no other person for love or money could be found to perform the disreputable business. A fine looking cow was put up for £ 8 ?— no offer— for £ 7 ? no offer— for £& ?— no offer— for £ 5 ? no offer— for £ 4 ? for£ J3 ? f o e £ 2 ? for j £ l ?— no offer I At length a voice in the erowd was heard " I bid one shilling for the beast," followed by another " I bid two"— succeeded by another. " I bid half- a- crown" and down the hammer went— half- a- crown was the highest offer — but the worthy who made it, on being asked for the money, said he forgot it, and would leave the beast for the damage if he did any ; for although he was anxious for a good cow, yet be eould not spare so much as 2s 6d for one that was afflicted with the tithe mange. Roars of laughter of course, followed this failure of attempt the first. A breathing time being allowed, the populace gavefull vent to their feelings. Many were the quaint jokes banded amongst them, at the expense ofthe church establishment, and the law which plundredfrom a man who never sought spiritual aid from the Rev. Henry Fleury, tlie property which he toiled by honest industry to accumulate. The shades ofevening now closing around the scene, it appeared; that for " that day no other sale would be attempted, and the cattle goaded by the drivers, were driven, ( where does the reader think ?) Into the jail, after many ineffectual essays at resistance on their part amid loud shouts, jeers and laughter of the people. The subalterns gttard, and the police were then withdrawn- The wicket of the jail gate was opened, and out walked an important looking personage who announced with a significant nod, and amid rene ved shouts of laughter, that the sale would be resumed to- morrow at eleven o'clock.— We hope to attend to- day and report progress.— The sale of yesterday proves that the hatred to tithes in this part of the country is as lasting as the peoples love of justice, and that it will continue to_ be so there is not a doubt. Of Mr. Foley it is but justice to say he conducted himself with great propriety, and showed that whilst he possesses the firmness to discharge this popularly execrated part of his public duty, he had the feelings and disposition of a gentleman. Thursday, pursuant to adjournment, another ineffectual attempt was made to sell the obnoxious cattle. Attracted by the novelty of a Tithe Sale in this City, there was a considerable erowd in attendance, but it was rather less numerous than might be expected, while it conducted itself with a degree of order that could scarcely have been anticipated upon an occasion so exciting. The Military and Police, with fixed bayonets and ordered arms, again formed three sides of a square in front of the Gaol, and a party of the City Police, with the Right Worshipful the Mayor and Chief Constable Wright, hesitating submission of the community— although they themselves well aware that such regulations are in direct and undeniable violation of all the laws of the land. That amongst these unprincipled infringements o f t h e rights of individuals are to be found regulations, proscribing the unalienable privilege of the rising generation to acquire the education of industry, byforbidding employers to take apprenticesfor the purpose of being instructed in their several handicrafts. save within certain arbitrary and illegal limitations— that, in likemanner, certain unvarying rates of wages are fixed, below which no workman is permitted to accept employment, nor any employer allowed to engage any workm an, however inferior such workman may be in mechanical skill or capacity. Employers are also, in most instances, prohibited from selecting for themselves the workmen whom they would prefer, but are compelled tc accept, at the hand of the combinators, the individual who, by their regulations, is held to be next in rotation. That in almost every other particular these regulations are equally framed, for the express purpose of restraining the rights of industry, the free circulation of labour, and the unshackled investment of capital. That your petitioners further deeply regret to state to your honourable House that submission to those most vexatious regulations is enforced, not by any attempt to demonstrate their expediency or necessity, but by acts of intimidation, of violence and of outrage, the most atrocious and revolting.. by the destruction of property— by assaults upon individuals of the most barbarous nature, and, in numerous and frequent instances, to the endangering of l i f e . . by preconcerted murder, and by cruel and deliberate assassination in the open streets, and in the noon day. That, in the opinion of your petitioners, the acknowledged decline of trade and manufacture in Dublin, and the destitution and distress of the working classes consequent thereupon, is mainly attributable to this system of secret and illegal combination, sustained by force and violence. That your petitioners, on two recent occasions, sought by public discussion, and the means to be thereby afforded of eliciting facts, to have an opportunity of demonstrating to the individuals by whom this illegal combination is sustained its mischievous and ruinous tendency. On these occasions, at public meetings duly convened, and at. which the Lord Mayor and the High Sheriff's of this city presided, endeavours were made to explain the law, and to urge the necessity of submission to its wise and impartial enactments— but your petitioners regret to state to your Honourable House that not only was every effort so to persuade the persons avowedly engaged in such illegal combi., ation to desist, therefore, wholly ineffectual, but that the clamour, violence, and intimidation resorted to by them was so excessive, and so imminently threatened a breach of the peace, that tbe . authorities present were compelled to dissolve the meeting— the combinators vociferously avowing their unalterable determination to enforce their illegal restraints and regulations, and to persevere in their resistance to the laws. That your petitioners desire earnestly to impress upon your Honourable Housetheir entire conviction that a very large proportion of the workmen of this city are unwillingly coerced to become members of this illegal confederacy, and anxiously desire to be relieved from its oppressive and unprincipled dominion— a fact which will be rendered sufficiently obvious by the circumstance, tbat the greater number of those who have been the victims of outrage or assassination were workmen who ventured to accept employment for the support of themselves or of their families at a rate of wages below that fixed by the rules of the confederacy. That in their present application to your Honourable House, your petitioners are less influenced by considerations persona! to themselves than by the sincere conviction that il is utterly hopeless that the vast resources possessed by this portion of the empire, and available to that which is beyond all else indispensable to the improvement and prosperity of Ireland, namely, employment, can ever be rendered thoroughly effective in the accomplishment of this% bject, until all illegal combination shall be put down, and the rights of industry to find its occupation, and of capital its unrestricted investment, shall be free from the apprehension of violence or intimidation. That, in the circumstances in which they are thus placjSd, your petitioners can entertain no hope of obtaining a thorough and searching investigation of this important subject unless through a committee of your Honourable House ; such a pro ceeding, your petitioners humbly venture to suggest, would be productive o f t h e most important public benefits. It would secure a deliberate and unprejudiced inquiry into the various facts ofthe case, and enable your Honourable House, from a ionsequent thorough knowledge and due appreciation of those facts, to devise such effective measures, in remedy and redress of ; this manifest violation of the rights of individuals, and of the best interests of soeiety, as may to your Honorable House, in your wisdom, seem the most expedient. Petitioners, therefore, humbly pray that a full inquiry may be instituted before a committee of your HonorableHouse, or iu such other manner as to your Honorable House shall seem most expedient, into the system of illegal combination, sustained by f and violence, which now exists in the city of Dublin. TO THE CATHOLIC PORTION OF THE WORKING TRADESMEN OF DUBLIN. BELOVED BRETHREN— It is now a matter of public and painful notoriety that crimes of a most atrocious character have been openly imputed to certain sections ( I believe - mall ones) of one of the most valuable classes of men of which our community is formed— the working tradesmen of Dublin. Of this extensive and important class, composed of members of all religious persuasions, you are known to constitute a considerable portion. Whether or not those accusations can be fully sustained, or, if so, whether the infatuated individuals who would be capable of such atrocities take the trouble of professing anyoutward form of religion, I do not now stop to examine ; but the mere possibility that any of you should be seduced, by persuasion or example, into a line of conduct that would be disgraceful to your religion, and ruinous to your salvation, has given a fresh impulse to my solicitude for your liappinsss, and moved me to caution you, with all the earnestness and affection of a parent, against giving the least countenance to any system ( how advanare j tageous soever it may appear) tbat would lead to crimes such as , , 1 . L' \ t ,! , i l. .1 _ C, !>... ! ,..,!,! were in attendance, to afford protection to any purchaser by whom it might be required, when the animals should leave the Sheriff's custody. Mr. Arthur Smith was in attendance as Solicitor to the Plaintiff, and Mr. Walter Phelan as Solicitor to the Defendant. About one o'clock, Mr. Sheriff Foley directed the sale to commence, and a black and white dry cow, four years old, was led out by the Auctioneer, a Lismore proces- server. The Auctioneer held the animal by a rope round the horns, to prevent her making a " dart" away from him. Like her companions in misfortune that appeared afterwards, she showed evident symptoms of being somewhat the worse of having spent a night in the Treadmill yard of the Gaol. The Auctioneer, to make a beginning, offered the animal at Five Pound, but he was obliged to reduce it in turn to Four Pounds, and to ,£' 3— and still no person was tempted to make an offet— except " an old shoe," *' fijd", and similar cries from the much amused crowd. At length a townsman offered £ 2. and after a due space another townsman advanced 10s, but the animal was knocked down to a third townsman for£! 3. Each bid was received with every sort of execration by the people, and the name of the bidder was shouted from side to side of the hollow square preserved by the Military and Police, accompanied by nil sorts of notes and comments. The first bidder and the third retired soon after having effected so much. Another cow of a red colour, looking also as if she was quite sensible of her unhappy condition, was then led out, and offered for public competition, which, however, did not answer the often repeated call— and the Knight of the hammer, had to descend rapidlyin his " upset price." At last the second bidder above noticed offered £ 1 ; the tithe plaintiff's solicitor offered £ 1 10s. but the second increased his bidding, and the animal was declared to be his for £ 2.—-. He went away immediately afterwards. A third cow was then led out, and offered again and again, but no bidder whatever would come forward. After considerable delay, the hope of obtaining a bidder was totally given up, and the three animals were conducted back to the Gaol, amidst cheers and derisive cries— the Military and police were withdrawn— and the crowd dispersed. All the cattie. were soon afterwards enlarged, and given up to their owner, upon his entering into an undertaking that they should be forthcoming if demanded by the Sheriff upon a future occasion. COURT OF CHANCERY DUBLIN.— TUESDAY. THE PRACTICAL LAWYER.— It has been decided, that, in navigable rivers, or arms of the sea, fishery is common and public : in private rivers, not navigable, it belongs to the lords of the soil on each side. It has been held, that the 33d Geo. III., c. 54, s. 13, which authorizes Justices, on complaint made, on oath by any member of a Friendly Society, " to hear and determine, in a summary way, the matter of such complaint, ar. d to make such order therein as to them shall seem just," gives them no jurisdiction beyond the actual matter of the particular complaint made. There fore, where a siek member complained, that theSteward refused to pay him h; s arrears of allwwanco. and the Justices ordered, that the arrears and costs should be paid, and that the complainant should be continued a rrember. the justices had exceeded their jurisdiction, in making Ihe latter part of ( lie order, and that the S'. ewards were not bound to obey it. It has been determined, that, where m ney lias been deposited on an illegal wager. it mav he recovered back from the winner, afler the wager has been lost ; and a man may recover money above 101, paid for another, os a lost wager, at his request. It has been determined, that a married woman, whose husband has been transported for seven years may maintain an action as a femme s » le, on the ground o f t he husband having abjured ihe realm, even liiougli the term of transportation has expired. It has been held, lhat an Underwriter is bound to know the nature and peculiar circumstances of the branches of trade to which the policy relates, it has been deter, mined that a sheriff, having entered at the open doors of a house, need not demand lo have the inner doors opened to him, before he breaks them, in order to take, under a writ of fieri facias goods which arc within them. IMPORTANT TO SOLICITORS. The LORD CHANCELLOR sat at eleven o'clock, and shortly afterwards Mr. Holmes applied to be heard on the same side with Mr. Smith against the application of Mr. T. Lyons, to be admitted a solicitor of the court notwithstanding his not being an attorney. [ This case was noticed in our last. After hearing Mr. Holmes, oil the part of the Law Society. Lord PLUNKET said the arguments, which you, Mr. Holmes, have used, have given additional force to what was so ably put forward by Mr. Smith. I said yesterday I had a great anxietv if I could, to comply with the prayer of the petitioner, as he is a young man was has acted with great propriety ; he is of unimpeachable moral character, and hus applied himself with diligence to tile duties of his profession, meritoriously endeavouring at the same time to give assistance to a family depending upon him ; the petitioner has fulfilled the terms of the act of parliament, at least, if not its spirit, having paid the usual fees, and incurred heavy expenses. I think the effect of the cases cited by Mr. Smith, go to show that the courts of law in England hold that an apprenticeship must not be a merely nominal one of five years, but must be a bona fide apprenticeship. The question here I consider to be, is this or is it not a collusive apprenticeship. The Court of Exchequer, it is unnecessary for me to say, had no object in their decision but to do what was just ; but I am of opinion that the application here does not rest upon the same grounds. Here in this court I have had the opportunity of estimating the value of the ingredient as to whether this has been a collusive apprenticeship. There was one objection suggested by myself, whieh is this ; The petitioner had been employed for a number of hours in discharging the duty of clerk in the six clerks office- Now, the six clerks- would not be justified in acting as attorneys, and therefore it might appear inconsistent if one of their clerks was to have his service there recognised. I may take a liberty with my own objection, which I do not consider as strong as when I first thought of it. If it had been said here, that the petitioner could not do his duty to his master, I would like to hear the master complaining of this ; but on the contrary he bears testimony to the value of his services. Mr. HOLMES— The master is his brother. Lord PLUNKET— I know that. Another matter is to be taken into consideration. Those clerks of the six clerks' were not officers ofthe court ; but the lords of the treasury, with great liberality, and 1 entirely concurred in tha propriety of the measure, paid those individuals compensation for the loss of their situations, this compensation to be measured in different ways. Some who had been a long time in the office have received onethird of their salary ; others not so much ; and those who were in but a short period received less, as it was thought they would be enabled to return to their original professions. This gentleman received the lesser amount of compensation, and, under all the circumstances of the case, I do not think I would establish any new precedent by admitting him. My judgment, however, I will reserve until further consideration. THE ART OF CONVERSATION.— The art of quiet, easy, entertaining conversation is, I think, chiefly known in England.— In Scotland we are pedantic, and wrangle, or we run away with the harrows on some topic we chance to be discursive upon. Ill Ireland they have too much vivacity, and are too desirous to make a show, to preserve the golden mean. They are the Gascons of Britain. George Ellis was the first converser I ever knew : his patience and good- breeding made me often ashamed of myself going off at score upon some favourite topic. Richard Sharp is so celebrated for this peculiar gift as to be generally called Conversation Sharpe The worst of this talent is, that it seems to lack sincerity. You never know what are the real sentiments of a good couverser, or at least it is very difficult to discover in what extent he entertains them. His politeness is inconsistent with energy. For forming a good converser, good taste and extensive information and accomplishment are tho principal requisites, to which must, be added, an easy and elegant delivery, and a well- toned voice. I think tbe higher order of genius is not favourable to this talent.— Sir Walter Scott's Diary. those to which public allusion has been made. St. Paul could only account himself " clear from the blood"— that is the spiritual ruin of the Ephesians— because he had not omitted to declare to them " all the council of God." And shall I, who am charged " to watch, as being to render an account for your souls" ( Heb. 13, 17,) be able to escape the judgment of Him who has committed you to my care, if I do not endeavour to keep alive in your minds a great principle of Christian morality, which was distinctly taught by the same blessed Apostle, but which some now appea- to have lost sight of, or to disregard ? The great principle is, that we are never " to do evil that good may come from it" ( Rom. 3, 8). Keep that principle steadily before the mind— let it be impressed on the heart— let it operate on your lives— and, in the pursuit of supposed good, you never can become the instruments of unjust aggression. Under this conviction, my first care, after rising from a bed of sickness, is to address this admonition to you. Should some among you receive it in a spirit of unkindness, this will be to me a certain and afflicting proof that it was not wholly uncalled for. Yet, even with respect to them, I will venture to indulge a hope that if they will but meditate, in the presence of God, upon its contents, with a vitwto theirowu eternal interests, ajuster feeling will spring up in their minds, and I may have still the consolation of being able to say with St. Paul, " although I made you sorrowful by my epistle, now I am glad : not because you were made sorrowful, but because you were made sorrowful unto penance" ( 2. Cor. 7, 8, & c.") Keeping in view the great principle that " evil is not to be done that good may come from i t ," let us now proceed to the more immediate consideration of the subjec on which it is my duty to address you. It is asserted, then, with confidence, that certain crimes which afflicted and dishonoured this city, can be traced to the abuse of a system of combination existing among the working classes ; that the object of this combination is to obtain a suitable remuneration for the tradesman's labour— an object perfectly fair when confined within proper limits ; but that for the carrying out of this object, means the most unjustifiable have been organized and resorted to : that arbitrary laws, defining the relation which should subsist between employer and tradesman, hatte been cnacted by authorized individuals, and imposed by intimidation and violence on others, over whom they bad no rightful authority ; that those laws, among other arbitrary provisions, marked out tbe price under which no tradesman should dare to sell his labour, though he should desire to do so ; that every tradesman who wished to render his labour available for his support should pay a certain tax for the privilege; of so doing, under the penalty of being shut out from employment, and left to starve ; &( oh, I am penetratad with horror while I write it) that part of the money so raised has been sometimes employed to hire monsters in human shape, to assail with brutal violence, even to death, unoffending individuals, merely because they would not submit to the despotic regulations of men to whom no law, human or divine, lias made them subject. Yes, blood, innocent blood, has stained your i streets ( it would be folly to deny it) for no other assignable , cause than this, and has cried to heaven for vengeance against those by whose agency it lias been shed. Good, God I is it possible that in a christian city, where the light of the Gospel beams around us, any one who pretends to live under the influence of religion could bring himself to stand up in the face of i an indignant public, and attemptto justify a system which could be the parent of such atrocious crimes ? While one command- ' ment of the Lord says, " Thou sha't not kill," including in its comprehensive prohibition all injuries to our neighbour's person ; while another says, " Thou slialt not steal," condemning, by a similar prohibition, all injuries to liis property ; and the Great Law Giver himself, says, " If thou wilt enter into life keep the commandments" ( Matt. 19,18) can any one wiio still hopes for salvation, connect himself even remotely with such a system ? God, forbid, my dear brethren, that I should lay such atrocities as these at the door of any one among you, or that I should suppose you to be so utterly destitute of Christian feeling, as not to look on them with unmixed detestation. But the public voice has proclaimed, that you walk in a pestilential atmosphere ; and I would not love you as I do, were I not to employ every means in my power to guard yon against the remotest danger of contagion. I have said that combination, tho' liable to be abused, may be, in i'self, perfectly blameless, whcnconlined within legitimate bounds. No set of men, depending on their labour for support, could be justly blamed for agreeing together, to endeavour, by legal means, to render that labour productive of as large a share as possible of those comforts which are its fair reward. It is only when they direct their combination against the rights of others that tliev become liable, to reproach. Tbat the labourer is worthy of his reward, is the dictate of unerring wisdom—( Tim. 15, 1 8 . ) . . and any class of employers who would to seek to live in affluence on the fruits of his labour, without making adequate Compensation for it, would be exposed to fall uuder that denunciation of St. James, " Behold the hire of the labourer, which by fraud has been kept back by you, crieth: and the cry of them hath entered into the ears of the Lordot'Sabaoth."— ( James, 5, 4.) But, my brethren, while you have a right to expect from your employers your full share of hire, need I remind you tha the law of God forbids you to defraud your fellow tradsman of his. You are at liberty to set a price upon your own labour ; you may refuse less ; and you may, too, engage as many others to do the same as will freely consent to join in adopting your standard. But you have no right to impose this as a lav.- on those who will not freely submit to i t ; and should any man choose to accept for his time, and the exercise ofhis skill, a smaller retribution than what you deem an adequate remuneration for yours, surely he does not execute his natural right over his own of benevolence, according to their means, than the tradesmen of Dublin. It is in the highest manner praiseworthy to enter into contributions to assist decayed and poor unemployed tradesmen, their widows, aud orphans ;— to create a fund to meet, without distressing their helpless families, tbe expenses consequent on their own sickness or death, and such other useful purposes. But no principle of reason or religion conld sanctic- D the forced exaction of such contributions ; and since the disclosures which have recently left such a sensation of horror on the public mind.. uo prudent man will expose his character.. no virtuous Christian will endanger his salvation, by entrusting his contributions to the uncontrolled discretion of any secret and irresponsible committee ; but the one and the other will deem it a point of paramount interest to ascertain that the fruits of their benevolence have been fairly applied to their proper objects. By such precautions your benevolence could not be so perverted as to become an instrument of crime ; ryou would guard your character from a foul imputation, perhaps your souls from irretrievable ruin. But should you perceive that any system of combination, into which you may have entered for a fair and honorable purpose, is not found, in the working of it, to be reconcileable with- that great grinciple, " that evil is not to be done that. good may come from it," there is no room for hesitation left. You must separate yourselves from i t . . you should sacrifice all rather than the salvation of your souls. It would be vain to say that you are bound to it by the solemn obligation of an oath. An oath can never bind you to what is evil. The invocation of the holy name of God could never bind you to a line of conduct, which he would afterwards punish witb everlasting pains. No ; such an oath would be in itself a crime, and could leave no obligation on you but that of repenting for having taken it, Beloved brethren, he not seduced. Your immortal souls are at stake. Designing men may wish to make yon the instruments of injustice, under the pretence of forwarding some short- lived interest. I believe the pretence to be fallacious. X do not think that even the temporal interests of tradesmen have been, or ever can be, advanced by the nefarious projects which have been resorted to. But even though they should, in the question of unerring wisdom to be forgotten, " What doth it profit a man if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul." ( Mat. 16, 26). With this thought ever uppermost in your minds, resolve that nothing in this world shall be sufficient the lead yon into crime, or to turn you aside from the course that would conduct you to Heaven. " Seek first the kingdom of God" ( Matt. 4, 33,), as it is commanded by Him who is to judge you.— " Love God above all things— love your neighbour as yourselves." ( Matt. 22, 37). " Love not in word, nor in tongue, but in deed, and in truth." ( i John 3,18) " Let ( your) love be without dissimulation, hating that which is evil, cleaving to that which is good— loviug one another with t h e c h a r i t y of brotherhood— in carefulness not slothful— in spirit fervent, serving the Lord— rejoicing in hope— patient in tribulation— instant in prayer— bless them that persecute you— bless, and curse not— rejoice with them that rejoice— weep with them that weep— being of one mind, one towards another— not minding high things, but consenting to the humble. Be not wise in your own conceits— to no man rendering evil for evil— providing good things not only in the sight of God, but also in the sight of all men."—( Rom. 12, 9 . . 18.) Thus would you secure the respect and sympathy of every good man— you would prepare for yourselves the consolations of a tranquil consciencee here, and you could look forward, with unbounded hope in the merits of Christ, to that day of retribution, when " He w ill render to every man according to his works." ( Matt. 16, 27.) " May the peace of God, which surpasseth all understanding, keep yonr hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." ( Phil. 4, 7.) Mountjoy- square, 2d Feb. 1838. + D. MURRAY. property, whieh is his labour ; a right over which no law, human or divine, gives you any controul. And should you. by threats or violence, prevent him from receiving for his labour such a price as he is willing to accept, you would not only violate the law of God, which protects him in the enjoyment of that natural right, but you would incur the obligation of making restitution to hiin for every shilling of wages which you would have prevented him from earning. You would rob him of the hire which, but t'er you, he would have received, and this robbery would close against you the gates of bliss, until you would endeavour to repay the loss which you would have thus occasioned. Still, further, should the injured individual have received bodily harm, and have baen therefore subjected to expense, this expense shonld be added to the debt of restitution, created by the loss of his hire. Should he sink under the effects of brutal violence, his family would be entitled to restitution for the support and protection of which they had been bereaved. Audit is worthy of remark, that when different persons co- operate for the affliction of an injury, each one of them, who has the means of so doing, is bound in conscience to make full compensation for the whole damage which he helped to occasion, provided that his partners in guilt are unable or unwilling to do so. Should any enemy of peace, of morality, and let me add, of the true interests of trade, urge you into this tyrannical scheme of trampling by brute force, on the rights of your fellow- men, whether employers or tradesmen, think of the load of crime and of restriction which a senseless yielding to his wicked suggestions might impose upon you, Ask yourselvef how you could account with God for dooming the man whom you are bound to love as you love yourselves to penury and starvation, merely for his refusal to submit, in the disposal of his labour to sueh regulations as you, who have no dominion over him, might wish to impose. Ask yourselves what principle of justice would authorise you to impose a tux upon a fellow- tradesman, and put his life in peril, if he presume to exercise his right of selling his labour without submitting to your arbitrary exactions ? I do not now speak of those three shillings a week, said to be avowedly given for an infernal purpose. No, my brethren, I will not suppose that any one among you possesses a heart so dead to every feeling of humanity and religion, as to be justly liable to such a charge. Imbued, as I trust you are. with the pure doctrines of morality, which you imbibed from your earliest years, your hearts would, 1 am sure, recoil, with horror from the thought, of paying abribe to put ths murderous club into the assassin's hand, and send him forth like another Cain to bathe it in a brother's blood. You remember, with awe, that terrible sentence by which the Almighty smote the heart of the first murderer with despair, ' What hast thou done ? che voice of thy brother's blood crieth to me from the earth, which opened her mouth, and received the blood of thy brother at thv band.' ( Gen. iv. 10, 11. I do not, my brethren, charge combination as being, in its own nature, a system of outrage such as this. I have even said that that it is fair, when confined within proper limits. I do not point at any particular set of men as guilty of organising such a system. If such infatuated beings really exist ( and that tliey do, recent events placed almost beyond a doubt)— every individual will feel in his inmost soul how far my observations are applicable to him. I do not condemn, but I applaud, the practice existing among tradesmen, of placing contributions in a common fund, for the benefit of themselves and of their families and to promote the legitimate interests of trade— but such contributions should be free, their purposes defined, and their expenditure watched over. There are numberless cases where your contributions would be deserving of the highest praise— and I am delighted to bear public testimony to the fact that no class of persons in the community is more distinguished for acts HINTS ABOUT BALLS GENTLEMEN'S D B E S S . — Y o ur should he a black coat by one of llie first tailors ( dress coat ;) a white silk rolled collar vest ; linen frilled and superbly white, cuffs seen ; black tights, if you are well made,— if not trowsers half tight and neat; black silk Lyons stockings ; a handsome black silk stock having a neat bow ; a very line cambric handkerchief, plain border, slightly perfumed ; no guard chains or black ribbon ; brequet in vest, and slight chain ; while kid French gloves, exactly fitting the hand ; ch assure insurpassably neat and luisante.

CONDUCT TO RELATIONS.— The first year of a woman's married life is not always free from vexations and troubles. She carries into one family the principles and habits of an. other, which sometimes prove so different, as to cause tho task of assimilating herself, in her new character, to those with whom she is sent hencoforth to dwell, to be both painful and difficult. If she be solicitous to promote unanimity between her new connexions and herself, she will, perhaps, examine how far she can yield to their prejudices, and in what degree she ought to maintain her own. By yielding a little, she makes, at least, her road smoother, if she doi s not thereby lay the foundation of esteem and affection, not to be shaken, for a time, by any trifling cause. And again, as ihe happiness of the husband is liable to interruption, and his temper to be tried, by the petty umbrages and irritations between his wife and his relations, it is her duty, and assuredly the best mode of securing her own happiness, to endeavour to please them, so as to engage their affections if possible. A determination to be pleased herself, is half- wfev towards pleasing them ; and this may be shewn by her willingness to discover their agreeable traits of character, rather than, with the critical penetration of ill humour, to mark their weaknesses and errors. By pleasing manners at first, she may secure herself a favourable reception into her husband's family ; and, in time, when she has proved her worth, her footing among them will be on a surer foundation.. Young Wife's Book. CONDUCT TO A HUSBAND. . Shonld your husband's temper be of the placid and gentle kind, endeavour to perpetuate it, even though your own may not naturally be of that description, a n d you will have a powerful incentive to imitation, in observing the benign effects of such dispositions on yourself and others ; especially recollect, that nothing is more contagious than bad temper, and, that a disordered mind, as well as as a diseased body, may spread infection over a whole house.. Should he be morose, fretful, or capricious, liable to sudden sallies. or the prey of constant irritability, the cure cannot be effected by opposing similar qualities : by these, the evil would be increased and perpetuated ; but their contraries, sweetness, the coolness oi a reasonable mind, and that kindness which anticipates the causes of irritation, or allays and soothes it when it is excited, even if they failed to produce the change in his feelings that might be expected, would, at least, have the most salutary influence upon yotir own, and bring a revenue of peace to the mind under all its trials.. There is one simple direction, which, if carefully regarded, might long preserve the tranquillity of the married life, and insure no inconsiderable portion of connubial happiness : it is, to bev: are of fhe FIRST dispute.. Ibid. . PHYSICAL EDUCATION. . " Were I to commence at the real fountain of physical education, and trace the stream to its close, I should be obliged to refer to a period anterior to the birth or even the formation of those, of the promotion and perfection of whose health and strength I should be treating. The first and most important element of physical education is, to procure, for those to be educated, a constitution of body originally sound.. To this, the soundness of parents is indispensable— it being a law of nature, that constitutional qualities are hereditary. As relates to leading points, this is a truism familiar to. every one, and is uniformly and successfully acted on in the breeding of inferior animals. That all constitutional qualities are transmitted from parents to their children, admits notof a doubt. Apparent exceptions are only apparent, not real. Areparentsperfeotly sound and vigorous in body ? So are their children, when they first see the light. Is the reverse true ? Are the former constitutionally unsound and debilitated ? The evil descends, in some degree, to the latter. Respecting intellect, the same is true. A « - cording as it is weak or strong, sound, unsound, or peculiar in the parents, so are its character and condition in the children. I speak in geueral terms, and refer only to general results, without meaning to entangle myself in the difficulties of abnormal cases. And, thus far, all testimony concurs t o sustain me. The descendants of a community, sound, vigorous, and hardy in mind and body, will be, themselves, a community of the same description, unless they are changed by adventitious causes. To this, neither does history contain, nor can observation adduce a single exception. Spartan children were like their Spartan parents, and Boeotian children like their Boeotian parents. Aud, in our own times, the descendants of the hill- country and ofthe valley are very dissimilar. As relates to the standing and welfare of the human race, this principle is much more extensively and powerfully operative than it is generally supposed to be. It is the reason why cl. ildren born at different periods ofthe lives of thair parents,& under the influenceof different circumstance, especially different degrees cf parental health and vigour, are often so unlike each other. It is, also, the most probable source of the very frequent and strong resemblance of twins, which receive the impress of exactly the same parental condition.— Children partake of the constitutional qualities of their parents, for the time being. Years and circumstances alter those qualities, and the offspring produced under the influence of them thus modified, are correspondingly altered. Even the. present predominance of any particular faculty of the mind in the parents, wouldseem to transmit that faculty to the child in greater vigour than it would be transmitted under the predominance of any other faculty."— Caldwell's Physical Education.
