      EFFECTS OF I-AXDLORDISM Ef IRELAND . " -JI 01 J . T _MACUIIIE . " " Our readers will ren . erobcr thc awful murder commincd two or three weeks since , on the person of a Sir .

      horror hid been iieni _ttotcd to cast odium un the Catiioiic party , and exeite the xcu & eanec of their oiipeueiits . The assertion of the Protestant papers , iiajiuting the crime io the Catholics , wc believe to _beYaise , and tbe asscrtam of ibe _Fraiaan _'** _Jonrxxni we believe to be not less false , and still more _disgroiefal , "because tiie writer could not have had the least faith ia thc truth of his assertion .

      Effects Of I-Axdlordism Ef Ireland. "-Ji...

      two acres or thereabouts are better off—there is generally a bedstead reserved for the old couple , tbe test sleep on the ground . To tbis state of things beattributes the fever that prevails to a frightful extent in tbe country . What a mass of misery is detailed in tbe abovefew extracts . The fanners subjected to a rent of from 20 to 25 per cent , above the government valuation . To make up this rent compelled to have recourse to bids , Joan funds , or local usurers—the first charging t i per cent ., the second 13 per cent ., and thc third 20 to 25 per cent . If unable to procure this ruinous accommodation di-traint and seizure follows , and tbe poor tenant is driven to iwvtrievable destruction . Sometimes—indeed very often—tbe case forms tbe rule rather than the exception—the tenant is allowed

      to bold bis laud until such time as hc has made an unprofitable waste profitable , and then , to enable the landlord or middleman to get a higher and exorbitant cut , he ( thc tenant ) , whose skill and labour basmade the ground valuable , is ruthlessly weeded out , to die on the road-side of starvation . Is there auy wonder there should be " * Molly Alaguircs ?" And how hopelessly wretched is the lot of the labourer—Sd . a-day , 4 s . « -tiwfc when fully employed , to maintain himscif aud family ! He would fain hold a little bit of earth to grow potatoes , which is often altogether denied hiin , or if granted him the illfaitlOUS -imouiit of rent he is compelled to pay leaves Mill well nigh as bad off as if he hail not the laud . The consequence is the wretchedness described bv Mr .

      Duke , living and lying in a state of nakedness , without decent clothing , without bedstead , without bedcovering , pigging on straw , and vegetating on tbe " accursed potatoes . " Is there any wonder , we ask again , that there should be " Molly Maguires V And despite county meetings aud the fraternisations of Protestant and Catholic oppressors against thc oppressed—despite the gathering of troops , the increase of the police-force , and appointment of extra _, magistrates , thc system of agrarian tenor of which thc magistrate Booin became the victim continues . This is sufficiently " _ihown in the following extract froin the _T « ncs of Wednesday , contained iu the coiumuuicatkm of that piper ' s Irish correspondent , and dated Dublin , Monday : —

      STATE OF CAY AN . Although there are no further accounts of any _actual uu ' -i a _^ cs upon life or properly in the dUturocd districts , stiU a state of _tviTOiism is represented to prevail to a most _alarnmi ;; and hitherto unknown _extent Several i-f . he leading gently having received private and friendly lutiiua ' . ioa that tliey -wov & n . Vest consult their safety hy - _ihaii-ioning ( for a time at least ) their residences iu th ,-country , have promptly taiten the hint , and are nowlite-: a'ii ° seeking refuge in and shout thc neighbourhood uf Du uHti . It is greatly to he feared that all the efforts of ih 3 lloinau Catholic clergy will prove quite unavaitiiig lo r _.-uii-Uy this dreadful state of _sotticty , more than one of these reverend irentlemen who had rendered themselves

      somewhat _consuicuous by their denunciations of the S _]> rcailing _okaf-ecUon , having heen duly cautioned hy the self-elected legislators to keep withiu the strict sphere _« . f their spiritual duties , as tliey ( tlic conspirators ) were tiie heit judges of matters temporal . Under such _circunist _.-tiice . _- ' it is hard to conceive what coarse Government can devise , or what legislative nostrum can . come at the root of a disease which seems thus far to defy all reasonable hope of cure by the old aud legitimate methods . ; Accompanying the above there is a curious document , copied from the _JrctSiian ' . _"* Journal , purporting to be a proclamation from "Molly Maguire , " from wliicU wc give thc following ( _atracts-. —Addvessiu " ' her children , " she says , there are

      A set of men called landlords , having less regard for you than for their dogs , not caring if you had not enough of dry potatoes to eat , or a hag to cover you hy _ni-tht . ; tliat a heap of manure and a pig was your only property , and a drink of water your only beverage . I have lived to see you so reduced ; and it is now too plain there is no rcilress , for even after all the fuss about tiie Xand Coiuniission , It now turns out ; to be the greatest delusion that was ever attempted on any people . I am , my dear little ones , old enough to see Lord Stank *} ' s hunihng bill about old ditches ; it now lies with yourselves , my dear little oucs , not to starve in the midst of plenty , and to obtain that end , and to obtain your fond mother ' s _l-lessine _* , may I beg of you , my dear children , to observe the folk-wilt- *; rales , viz .:

      —- " 1 . Keep strictly to the land question , hy allowing no _la'idiord more than fair value for his ' teuour . ' " 2 . Xo rent tobe paid until harvest " 3 . Xot even then without an abatement , wliere the land is too high . " . 4 . Xo undermining of tenants , nor bailiff ' s fees to be paid . 0 Xo turning out of tenants , unless two years * rent due Ircfure ej * -can _= iit served . " # * * * My dear children , —I have laid down the above rules for your guidance , aud by strictly observing thein you wiil have the _wcil wishes of every good man except ihe _heartUss landlord , and by it you -ivill be known to ha true

      _soiisofmiue ; but the wretcsithnt will violate this , my paivntal command , iuniet on hiin a salutary chasiisi . ' - -mt-iit ; hut , above ali , my deav little ones , tlic landlord that _ivili treat those ruk-s of mine with contempt , it grieves me to the heart to bid you commit mortal sin , hut _myi-aticnceis nearly worn out ; but , before you uo so , for God ' s sake , and my sake , take no life or limb without * j _^« _u- ; jour victim three _wi-itteii warnings ; _sliou' . d they not k .

Attend , my dear little ones , lo these rales of mine , and the Lord will pro ? per your cause , whicli is tie prayer of your affectionate mother ,

Wc shall return to this subject at ibe first opportunity ; in the meantime let ns ask by what right decs Major Koran claim the ownership of the land at _Killinkere ?

      Effects Of I-Axdlordism Ef Ireland. "-Ji...

      own limited object of aftording a resource to the really destitute , and ef encouraging at the same time , hy the most powerful motives * , industrious application wherever it is practicable ; ana it docs seem to us to be unwise to alter them in accordance with theoretical speculations , particularly when other causes may be assigned for thc evil , which , by such alteration , it is proposed to remedy . It is , we apprehend , to the removal of those Other causes , in as far ysUm . ny be attainable , more especially since their removal , even if not effectual for the particular object in view , must yet be regarded as an . unmixed good , that the attention of the legislature ought in the first instance to be directed . On these grounds , then , we have come to the conclusion that , with _refu-euce at least to an ordinary state of trade and manufactures , the present "Poor Laws of Scotland , if amended as we have ventured to propose , ivill he found sufficient for their purpose , and , therefore , that relief to able-bodied persons from funds raised by assessment is neither necessary nor expedient .

      Our readers may wish to know the names ofthe pious gentry who cant so beautifully on the scriptural injunction— "If a man ivill not work , neither should he eat . " Their names are Lords Mei . vii . le and _Belhavex , Mr . _Hoxie _Dm-mmoxd , and . Mr . _Cami-hell ( of Craigic ) , the Rev . Mr . Patrick Macfaulaxe ( of thc West Kirk of Greenock ) , and the Rev . Mr . _Kobeiitsox ( minister of Ellon ) . That is , two Scotch peers , two Scotch landed proprietors , and two Scotch priests . Tliere was another " commissioner , " an Englishman , _Euwaud Twistletox , Esq ., barrister , but hc ( thank God !) had nothing to do with this disgraceful report , - except protesting against it as being opposed to the evidence on whieh it is professedly founded . It is , then , the six Scotchmen , the twb peers , the two landholders , aud the two priests , who have the exclusive honour of this disgraceful document . We are sorry wc don't know the history of these six . Scotch worthies , as wc doubt not the

      histoiy of each would form a rich commentary on the text tbey have so approvingly quoted . Thc name oi ' Melville—connected historically as that name is with the conservation of State abuses and political corruption—is sufficiently ominous to stand at tho bead of a body appointed to inquire into the necessity of reforming a rotten system . We need not comment on the "work" pa-formed by landlords , and as to thc " work" performed by the Rev . Pat Macfaruxe , and the Rev . Jamie Robertson , if thc value of their work was measured b y its utility , tllC Lord pity their hungry wames ; for precious little would the science of gastronomy be indebted to their labours in thc art of mastication . How true to their craft are these ministers ia _labouring to " make the worse appear the better reason . " With what devotion they apply themselves to prolong the war << f classes , and perpetuate the wrongs of the poor . How they prate of "God" and "religion , " the " social system , " and " man s independence "—

      " Oh for a forty parson power To sing thy praiae , hypocrisy 1 " "Wc are quite willing , on behalf of the poor , to abide by thc law of the bible , that " he that will not work neither should he eat ; " we only require that that law shall be fully and fairly carried out , in which case there would be but little need for Poor Laws , and few would be those who would need Poor Law relief . If the text is binding upon au * , * one section of thc sons of Adam it is equally binding upon every other section . "In the sweat of thy brow Shalt thon eat bread" was the doom passed upon Adam , but it was not said " one portion only of your children shall bear this ' curse' and all the rest be free from it , living upon the substance of the workers . " This was not said ; thc doom was passed upon all alike without distinction . Is the " curse "

      then so fulfilled ? It is not . It has followed , therefore , that those who have worked have never been able to eat the "bread" promised them as the reward of their " sweat- ;"—or , at least , if enabled to cam a miserable subsistence by their labour , that labour is SO dependent upon the avaricious and scheming caprices of the privileged classes , that the working men are never for long together certain of employment , and when employed , the produce of thciv labour is so taxed and filched from , them 1 y political , clerical , and _profit-mongering non-producers as to leave them no means of storing up a provision against the time of adversity . Now , if only those eat who worked , the wealth of thc country- would be enormously increased , the working classes would not have to support ' the idlers and plunderer- ' who impudently call themselves the " better classes , " and each mau enjoying thc full fruits of " his own resources , " there wotiid—as a general

      rule—be no need of Poor Laws . These apologists of wrong should be careful how they , quote scripture ; scriptural texts are often like two-edged MVOl'd- ' , they cut both ways , and tiie Reverends Pat _Macfarlaxi * and Jamie _Robj-rtsox should'know that " those who use thc sword shall perish by the sword . " The cominissioiieis . irnrai that the bed system of Poor Laws is that which calls forth the industrious and profitable application of the capabilities of tiie poor . This is true ; but to insinuate that the Scotch Poor Law system decs thi ** , is glaringly false . Tiie wretched state of thc _Sutiicrlantlshire poor is proof of this . All the relief they _getamoiints ut the best- to the means of getting a pair of shoes in which to go _beg-¦• iiig . Do the commissioners consider _beffgimr one of the " capabilities" of tbe poor ? But _Sifthei-iar . d sliirc is not an exceptionavy instance , the state of its poor is—more or less modified—that of the poor of Scotland generally ; as a further illustration take the followim . ' : —

      Oban * . —The following remarks are made by fhe minister , and Andrew _Aldcorn , M . D ., elder : —ibe _li- ;; al assessment for Xihnore and Kilbride , _iiichidtng Oban , was begun in October , isil , and discontinued in January , lSt 2 , b y the heritors , notwithstanding the most _prci'siug destitutiuii _amount the impotent youv , a great many ot ' them were very n _^ _etl , ami several of tiicm bcdi-iddvn , . ' : c . TLe _avtr-l-je _iuia actually _disliibulcd annually to _c-.-ivi : pauper by _thd "kirk session for som « years , excepting 18-11-2 , was ti fraction less than fis . fid . " The ordinary poor are at all times , but particularly at present , < _ttffei-iug a kind of slow starvation ; aud were it not i _' ov ihe charitable _aid-cf a comparatively _sinail number of parsous , itho cannot bear the sight of fellow-creatures starving outright before tlieir eyes , this dreadful process would ofti-ii be more rapid . But these individuals are often force . ! to go far beyond what tlieir means will warrant by this system of throwing the poor upon the poor fur support . " Mr . Duncan Macarlher . —He farms to some extent in

      the neighbourhood of Oban . His funn is so near ' . lit town , that the poor he is in tiie habit of seeing chiefly belong to it . Be docs not think the-allowance ihcy get from the session is at all _suiHekitt to keep llitin in life . They arc clnctly _supiKivtcd by begging—if ihey wove not supported in that way tlicy imist starve , as fur as he can Uv'ge ; and he is acquainted with thc expense of every article which the poor can require . -What they get fivia the session would uot keep litem iu coals _diwintr ; winter . There arc , as it were , three classes of the poor—th-. so who cannot go about at all , those who can go about , bat cannot do any work , and those who can do a little . The first d «? s are _l-cptfrcxnactual «( i _« _' « itioii chiefiy by the _sexnd class , who beg fcr ilicui . _** _*"•* Thc _assessmttit that was tried fell to tiie ground , from some of the _heritors refusing to pay thiir pi _oportious , so that it had no : a failtrial .

      Aniirew Aldcorn , "Esq . — Practised medicine _absut eighteen years in Oban , but gave up practice some years ago . Ke ' very frequently visited the poor - upon the roll when he _praethwd in the parish , aud now visits them mure than ever . "Not being in general prayttce , he has more leisure to bestow upon them when at home . * * * * The _bsd-riihit-n poor are in avery destitute , state in point of diet . The allowance _tiiey set froin the _session cannot be intended to maintain _ilii-in , ii is so perieeiiy itiaue'ittsie ; and tlure are very few-1 _eoi-lt- in Oban who ave .-.

      boasted seat of enlightenment and " betWikashun ;" it is in that country of saints and " _fcelosofers , " that the poor are wealed from thc soil , made outcasts Irom society , and left to perish on twopence a-week ' _< ¦ *•¦<¦ such men as priests Macfaulaxe and RoBKnTsttt give their approval ofthe system , affirm it 'works well , " and declare that to make anv change { excep t for the worse ) would be the ' wantonness of innovation !" Undoubtedl y a system which would enable the poor to 11 ft themselves from tho abyss of aupcrisni by the profitable application of their own capabilities' would he the best sort of . _Toor Law ; but the commissioners' propose nothing of the sort , they •• imply content themselves with coining to the

      conclusion that " relief to abie-bodied persons from funds raised by assessment is neither ' necessarv nor expedient . " , ... . . . . ; .. The _ contemptible " amendments" suggested by the commissioners it is not necessary wc should examine , as most of them arc embodied in the bill at present under the consideration of the legislature ; these socalled " amendments" _, we can therefore better discuss when considering that measure . One , however , of the commissioners' " amendments , " to which practical effect will bo given bv the Lord Advocate ' s bill , the _talting irom the poor the right of appeal from the decision of the parochial _iiiniiasei's ' as to the amount of allowances , is so daring aud infamous an act ot advised wrong- , that wo feel called upon to make special reference to it . The report says :

      The hxing thc amount of allowances is a matter which requires the knowledge of so many loeal details , so many petty circumstance- *; upon which aperson nt a distance , ignorant of the real situation of the pauper , can with difficulty obtain accurate ini ' _oiiuaiion , that it is , of all others , the point on which the parochial board alone art competent to come to a correct decision , Ouv own views are so opposed to any court of appeal as to the amount of allowances , that , instead of investing any new tribunal or board with jurisdiction in sueh mutters , we - are inclined to suggest that the appeal to the Court of Session , the competency of which has been declared only by a very recent decision of that Court , should be taken away . Many of those who advocate a power of appeal do not hesitate to avow their objections to the Court of Session

      ns the court of review . In the opinion of those persons , to deprive the Court of S 8 fi"i 6 ! l ol Ih jurisdiction In such cases would be rather desirable than otherwise ; and it must be obvious that most of the objections to the judge ordinary ov loeal magistrates apply with greater force to tbe judges of the Court of Session . Tliey must have greater difticulty in informing themselves of the real situation of the party seeking relief , and in ascertaining the circumstances of the particular locality . On these grounds , we , luwe come to be of opinion , That it is Hot desirable thut there should be any appeal from thc decision of thc parochial managers as to the amount of allowances .

      We arc compelled , by want of room , to let the above pass for the present without comment . When wc come to describe '' more fully than we have hitherto done the nature and details of the Lord Advocate ' s bill , we shall shetv the " artful dodging" moans the Scotch lawyer has employed to give practical effect in his bill to tlic shameless suggestion of the commissioners . It is some consolation for us Southerners , that the only Englishman amongst the commissioners refused his signature to the report , _and-protestc-d against all its JGildillfr features . Tito . report , therefore , its not a

      report ot the commissioners , but oi six Scotchmen , aliiiitcrcsted in upholding the existing system , or in making bad worse . The cold-blooded doctrines put forth in tins report , - ' sanctioned-by Scotch lords , Scotch landholders , and Scotch priests , arc , wc rejoice to know , unsanctioned by the name of any Englishman . How much longer will thepeople o ' t Scotland be content to be the dupes and victims ol tho accursed doctrine that the poor have not a right to subsistence in the land of their birth ? ' If they are really the intelligent people they assume to be , let them shew that thev too—as well as lords and

      priests—know how , to read the text , " Ho that will not work , neither should he eat . " By a reference to our Parliamentary intelligence , it will be seen tliat amongst the governmental measures Sir ltoiiEai Peel ' s determined to-press this session , is the Scotch Poor Law Bill . The people of _Scotland , therefore , have no time to lose , if tlicy would procure the amendment of a measure whieh has been truly described as "an artful contrivance forgiving power tothe powerful , - and throwing additional burdens on the oppressed poor . "

      IllISH TENANTS' COMPENSATION BILL . Our readers will perceive that this bill meets with great opposition in the House of Lords , who are also a house of landlords , many of them being also Irish landlords . Had the bill bt en better , and more practicable than itis , this opposition would have been ' the same . The truth ofthe matter is , tlic Irish landlords have , for centuries , considered their tenants as mere serfs ; and any step to rescue them from this state of vassalage they very naturally consider , and call , an " invasion of the rights of property ; " they being the only authorities tis-to - what these rights really are . We , for our parts , consider the introduction of this bill into Parliament an important point ; not because wc deem the bill a good one practically , but because it emboilios in a ministerial bill , ' lor . the first time , a great piinciplc . In itself , ns a _practicsl measure , thc bill will fail . It cannot be worked , if passed . —

      A law to render rcut not recoverable , except under a lease of a long date , would have been infinitely better , because it would secure tho tenant the benelit of his outlay , and need no machinery . But as embodying n great principle , this biii , wc affirm , is a highly important one . When brought in , the mover stated " , in plain terms , thatthe " monster evii" of Ireland _«* as " oven population . " This ho distinctly stated nt _scffciH ? out . lie is right—it is so ; aud this bill he dcsei'tucd as being oue moans lo cure that evil of " ever population , " inasmuch as it ivould go to ' ¦ . better the condition and means of living" of every holder of html in Ireland , from the large farmer to the poor holder of an aero or two . Here , then , we have this truth at last admitted and enunciated in Parliament , that tlio way to check " surpluspopxdation" is not tc starve a people , but to feed _titcni : to turn poor living into belter living ; to ' change a potatoe and water diet into line of bacon and of beer . Here we have

      tossed overboard , foi' the _nvst tunc , in open Parliament , the absurd , blasphemous , and most ignorant assertion _of-IMf / ius _, that the mere food a people have , the faster they will increase ; and that the only check to this terrible state of things arc vice , misery , absolute starvation ,- or the forbidding of marriage , and the _denia : of relief to all poor persons , who may lum ) married , and hail cluMrcn _^ aiKi ultimately co ' itlff to want , llavin _**; the opposite principle as a basis ( tor , upon this foundation , this bill was put when brought before thc Legislature ) , wc hail it as a great _sfepjowards belter and wiser ways of thinking on this important subject . As a- practical measure , wc repeat , we icar itis a more nullity ; aud wi * do not believe it cau ever become law , or , ifit did , be any thing better than a mere dead letter . In so far , however , as it lms been tlio occasion for the acknowledgment in Parliament , that the way to cure " surplus population" is to better the , living of .. the people , and not io starve them , it ii _* . * , s already dons " good service , and as such wo notice it . —Tpie Mcx'cury .

      received a very severe blow 01 a stone on tbe leg , and had to be conveyed home in a car . Inspector Bibby was struck in the jaw ; and two or three ofthe force were wounded slightly in the upper part of the head . When thc affray had lasted about half an hour , the Orangemen were induced quietly to make the best of tlieir way home _through some of the by-streets leading towards'London-road ; and Mr . Dowling , and very shortly after Superintendent Levcrott , having come up with stroii !? detachments ot the police force from the neighbourhood ofthe docks , the mob wcre overawed , and all active disturbance was .. from'this moment at an end . Besides the injuries already

      mentioned , several janes ot glass were broken , and part of a shop sign was carried away by the force with which the stones were thrown . Mr . Dowling continued until about half-past eight iu tho evening te perambulate a large section ol the constabulary force in tho streets in the vicinity , which werc densely crowded by the lower classes * biitaboiitth . it hour a heavy shower of rain fell which dispersed them to tlieir homes without much trouble or delay .

      A _GlilMIAX EXKCI'TIOX . — _-STCirOARO , Ju . vk 29 . — During tho last ten years there has not been any capital execution in our city . The day before yesterday the scaffold was erected for the decapitation of a young woman named Margaret lludhnrdt , who was sentenced to death for poisoning her husband with arsenic . This act of supreme justice was marked by a strange incident : —The execution here takes place with a sword . The culprit is placed on his knees , with a white handkerchief over his eyes ; one ofthe executioner ' s assistants then lies down before the culprit , seizes him with his two bands by thc { thighs , and keens him immovably fixed to'the ground , whilst another holds him by tlic hair , and draws his head hack , so that thc muscles of the neck bo extended , when the executioner , with his sword , which he

      grasps with both hands , cuts off thc head . At tho moment when the latter was about to inflict thc fatal blow on Margaret lludhardt , a man rushed through the compact crowd that surrounded the scaffold , crying out in a stentorian _voica , " Stop ! stop ! " nnd waving nt tho same time over his Lead a whito handkerchief . __ Tlte executioner instinctively dropped his arm , his aids loosened the victim , removed the blindage from her eyes , and Margaret lludhardt , who during those awful preparations had exhibited a good deal of calmness , io * c smiling , for the unhappy woman , as well as the executioner and everybody , — including thc recorder ofthe Royal Court oV Stuttgard , who was on the platform _drawiut _** . up the

      minutes of the execution , —believed that she had been pardoned . This , however , was not the case . Thc author ofthe incident was arrested , and it was soon discovered that he had been an old servant of Margaret Rtuiliardt ' s father , who imagined that , by interrupting the execution _^ it would be retarded , and that the daughter of his former master would then have a chance of obtaining her pardon . After an interval of half an hour , which was a painful respite for Margaret _^ lludhardt , she was again obliged to kneel , and justice had its course ! The crowd , although much moved by the spectacle , observed tho greatest ovdir , and shortly afterwards silently dispersed .

      DREADFUL T 1 IUNDER STORMS . _Tunmi'icSTOKMix Birmingham . —On Sunday night this town and neighbourhood werc visited by one oi the most terrific tempests which have occurred in the recollection of the ' oldest man living . Nothing like it has happened since thc memorable night preceding the death of George IV . About half-past eight o ' clock distant tluuulcr was heard in the west , and in the course of half an hour the tempest set in in right good earnest . 'i'he li ghtning , followed by crashes of thunder , was of the most awful description ; while the rain , which fell in torrents , threatened to deluge the whole town and neighbourhood ,

      In Siuallbrouk-strect _, Dudley-street , _Btivfovd-stvcet , _Rca-strcet , _Digbuth , the lower parts of Deritend , and other parti of the borough , thc effects of the storm were most serious to the occupiers and owners of property . Some of the streets , in consequence of the height of the Hood , were rendered altogether impassable . In many of them the water was middle deep , and in moro than one instance life was endangered in attempts to preserve property . It is calculated that some of the tradesmen , in the lower parts of thc town ( in particular grocers ) must have lost to the amount of hundreds of pounds by thc sutldcil and destructive inundation . Tlic devastation occasioned

      by this awful tempest was not confined to Birmingham . It extended miles around thc town . At Moscley , llarbone , King ' s-hcath , Salt-ley , Handsworth , and oilier hamlets in the vicinity , tho like consequences werc felt . It is stated , moreover , that at Studley and Rcdditcb , in the immediate neighbourhood of the seat of Sir Franeis _Gootiricke , still more disastrous consequences have resulted . The truth of this statement I cannot at present , ascertain ; but it is satisfactory to know that at Birmingham , although much property is destroyed , no life has been lost . " This fortunate result is so far a matter oi congratulation .

      AwiTii _SiOhm at " NoTTixaiUM . —On Sunday night last Nottingham and its vicinity was visited by one of the most extraordinary storms which have happened for a considerable number of _yeais past . Thc weather during the day had been , on tlio whole , very fine ; and there was a total absence of that oppressive closeness whieh is usually tho precursor of thunder . At a little before sunset there was scarcely a cloud to be seen , but shortly afterwards a'dense mass gathered near the south-western horizon , and flashes of _shcct-liglittiing streamed forth in quick succession . As the darkness advanced , ' these electric discharges followed each other still' more rapidly , until at length thc heavens from thc north to the south were completely _iJluiiiiii-d as with fireworks . At about ten o ' clock it commenced raining ; and tho _shoH-er , which lasted till nearly eleven , was oue of

      the most heavy known for a long period . The lower parts of the houses in Narrow-marsh , the Meadowplats , and other similar situations , wero completely deluged , and tlio damage done will amount to several hundred pounds at the least . A double brick wall at Messrs . Fisher ' s factory was washed down , and oilier similar injuries are quite common in various parts of the surrounding country . At the Milton ' s Head Inn , on the Derby-road , a man named Alfred Greenwood , of lladford , ' was struck blind . A surgeon was instantly fetched , who bled liim and administered other remedies , lie was soon after removed house , and since Uieu to thc General Hospital , whore ho has received thc unremitting attention of tke iirst medical practitioners in tho town . We understand that hc has since been enabled to sec a little , and that hopes are entertained thathis sight will bo Ultimately restored to him .

      T _EittiiFic _TnuNnisn- storm ix _WoucEsrKnsiuuE , —An awful thunder-storm visited tho county of Worcester on Sunday last ( July 0 ) , and did a great deal of damage to the agricultural produce . The storm appeared to come from ihe south-west , whence dark masses of clouds floated , hurried over the-html , deluging the earth with rain and hail . Thc lightning flashed continuously , and peals of thunder succeeded in terrific rapidity . The storm was most severe about tho eastern boundary of thc county ; and at Evesham and Fcrshore great damage was ( lone tothe garden crops , tlic corn , grass , & c , by the hail , which fell very heavily . A _great number of trees wcre levelled to tho ground by the sweeping hurricane wiiich accompanied tho storm , and there has been very considerable destruction of glass in tlic hothouses , conservatories , ' and private , dwelling-houses .

In thc course of a few seconds a shower of hailstones descended , which continued from five to ten minutes , and was immediately followed by . torrents oi * rain . The hailstones in sumo places were tho size of marbles , and did an immense ileal of _diUYiaijc _mntmgsfc the hot and green houses .

      London * Cors Excuasoe , Monday , July 7 . — Tm arrivals of wheat coastwise were small last week , _ais-l those of English barlev and oats very scanty .

Of beans and peas the supplies were of the _sswe limited character ns has been the case for some tiioe back .

At tbis morning's inar _3-: c 4 there was a scanty show of wheat by land carri ' _.-. _te from the home counties ; of barley , beans , anil pens the display of samples was trilling , and there were not many oats fresh up . The weather has been _hot and forcing since Friday , which has some influence ' - 'Ci

Wheat was taken oS with caution , and notwithstanding _theshortness ofthe quantity on sale , factors were unable to obtain hid _' _-f-r prices than on Monday hist , the trilling _improvenk-ist of Wednesday being barely maintained . In five foreign wheat there was scarcely any tiling doing , _**•«*! quotations remained liomtually unaltered , li ' ondud parcels were also neglected . " Flout" hung _ViUiiOT heavily . on hand , but sellers remained firm , and _c-i-fl sales made wcre at previous prices .
