Tbe jobbers iaviave concluded that I'eel will propose a scale of _nxeo _mtjutj ranging from 9 s . to 3 s ., to which it is _P _**™} _' _* d to tumble , but we tell them tbat the Premier uw Eiii _' ond of his favourite cbild-the sliding s _^ _e-w _^ aksafce it at the bidding of tbe T _^^ _tttiESDS If _tif the League .

Tlie otlier two ran off and iscscaped , but witness pursued the defendant , and caught ¦ toimin tlie _mnadow . Upon searching him nothing was

      _ibtibu-d on his _pcraon . Four wires ( for the snaring oi laaares ) were afterwards found by witness f . ud the gamei *< c * epcr Austiu , close to the spot where the three men _ittsvere seeu beating the plantation . Upon the _defendant _neoeing tjktn he _threatened to u » e his knife . The defenlahtut denied tliat he had a knife in his possession ; all _ l . il . at he had in his pocket was a pipe and a comb . The Mefendant also denied that he was in search of game , Rvlrrhatever the other two men , whom ha did not know , mmight be sifter . The witness , who was asktd bj Mr . LiL » _ch if he Raw the knif _. iu the possession of the defenialaut , replied that he did _notsve it , but that he put bis Unhand to his waistcoat pocket wheu he made use of the Mhreat to use one .

      ¦ ol -f _g-mteou the Koyal preserres before , the major , ad-< _ : _ r--s * ing the defendant , said , tbat tbis being his first <« o _& nce . tbe _benvb would d « al _knieuUs with Idea bv _fiviwg lihim in the amount of 10 s . and ordering him to pay lis . coMts , thus giving him tlic option of cither paying the _jgttiuettorbeiugimpritone d for fourteen days in _thebo-. rough gaol . The man said he had no money to pav « either fine or costs . He was then conveyed to prison in 1 the custody of thegaoler . Now , can any man read the above disgusting in-1 _teUigeuec , and then read the fine imposed upon a Church of England parson for an attempt to violate the prison of au innocent girl , without coming tothe conclusion tbat thew is " oue lsw forthe rich and another law for the poor ? " Just think of a

      miserable pauper , whose destitution was very likely _liifinsht on by tbe refusal of Prince Albert to pay Lis poor-rates in time , being sent for fourteen days to gaol , by tbe Queen , for having a " tobacco-pipe c » I a comb in his _poclct , " and for the still greater _wirae of not bring able to pay a guinea , —tbe greater part of the amount ( lis . ) being for costs ! Working men should no longer carry combs or tobacco pipes in their pockets . The parson who was lined £ 5 , and no costs , should , by thc scale that regulated tbe pauper s costs , have been charged £ o 10 s . Iir costs , in addition to tbe fine , and should , in default of pavmeut of the fine , bave been sentenced to

      ten _fortnights , or five mouths' imprisonment ; but THERE IS " one law for the rich and another for the poor / ' We think that the reverend gentleman ' s intimacy with tbe Bishop of London should have made bint more cautious , the more e » pcciaily as some Right Rev . Fathers in God have been proved to be the greatest patrons of brothels , gin palaces , and licentiou « ness . We marvel much that the young gentleman ' s friend from Bronipton did not prove , in mitigation of punishment , that the defendant was drunk;—although in the case of the poor poacher it w-uhl be an aggravation rather than a palliation « f I 11 S offence .

      From that period up to the present , we heard no more until he came with those ejectments ; though tlie rent was tendered by _lorae , he refused to accept it ; aad yet his ideamustbe to increase bis coffers , through the putting out of the old tenants and putting in new ones . We opposednot the ejectments , but tbe poorer classes of us bting unable to pay tbe costt , in such a calamitous season to farmers , opposed solely on the ground , andiu the firm belief , that it was the act alone of the bailiff to harass and distress us , and not the act of so humane and hind alaudlord .

      Feeling confident that a fair and just representation of the circumstances « as needed to set the matter in its true light before the public ( as we previously offered the rent , and are - till willing to pay it free of costs ) , we have thus trespassed upon your columns . The opposition , in fact , was but partial from us . It was principally from the persons of the surrounding districts , who saw fully the injustice attempted to be commitUd by the bailiff on the poorer tenantry , who were unable to pay costs ; as , had he fairly accepted their rents , it would have been paid him every shilling .

      Now let the above graphic sketch be read 111 connexion with the placard , \ \ vi lwn « uv & W- authorship of which is charged upon Mr . O'Higgins , and substituting the real active agent , the bailiff , for the landlord and a » ent , who appear to be sleeping partners in all , save the receipt of rent , and the proclamation of martial law ; and with thischange of mere agency , who will say that Mr . O'lliggius OUGHT NOT TO BE PROSECUTED for so mild a denunciation of so monstrous a system ? It will not do to justify Sir George and bis money-receiving tool , because the good old legal maxim ,

      Quern fat-it per alium , facit per se , " Who acts by another acts himself , " stands in open judgment against the two abettors of the tyrant bailiff . The character of TRUSTY to Irish landlords has been copiously exposed by Mr . O'Connor in bis several letters to tbe Irish landlords . He has shown tbat tbis fellow is invariably a spy upon the tenants , and tbat bis profits are made up by fines paid by incoming tenants , for his " good word to _his lionnur . " He has an interest iu the ousting of tenants , as be invariably gets a fee from tbe incoming tenant , and we have known of instances where such a scoundrel has been paid by twelve different fatties fur his " good woril . " He is in theeonfidence

      of all who bid , and the man who is likely to pay him best withholds bis proposal to tke last , aud bids a trifle more , and offers a little more by way of line than his competitors , and then the TRUSTY satisfies the disappointed with " Wisha , God know . - but I done my best with bis honour , " but tbat vagabond , Tim Doyle , "salted"it on yoa , " and bid beyaut you .. " Mr . O'Connor has also shown bow these frequent oustings are resorted to by _landlords and middle-men as the means of frequent lettings , to procure fresh capital by way of fine ; and these are the ruffians to aid whom the -Vines calls for coercion and martial law—the principal business , 110 doubt , of the visit of Mr . Foster ( the Times' Commissioner ) to Ireland .

      MuRnER . —We give tbe following fracas from tbe Waterford Chronicle , which appears to be a mere Irish row without any assignable cause , but which , of course , is set down by the li ' mtt in the general catalogue of atrocities to swell the cry for martial law . The quarrel between the bagman , Sir . Fritcbard , and the French Envoy to tbe court of the drunken Queen Fomare , was very n « ar being nurtured into war by the pacific Thunderer , but even that loses its character of insignificance when contrasted with the attempt to proclaim all Ireland in a state of rebellion in consequence of a blackguard row between Mr . O'Connell and Mr . Foster : —

      On Thursday night , about ten o ' clock , four men , named Thomas Grant , John Halligan , James Bryan , and James Power , were proceeding from Waterford to Curraghmor , in th « county of Kilkenny , their residence ; tliey had not proceeded far beyond the bridge when they overtook three men , uamed John Walsh , Henry Walsh , and Walter Walsh . On coming up with them tbe attack commenced , and , it is stated , that one of the persons now in custody , named Thomas Grant , committed fearful havoc on the Walshes , whom he strewed about tbe road with a heavy piece of new iron which he bad in his car . As soon as the alarm was given , constable ll'Coy and some ofhis met-, pursued the assailauts , whom they succeeded in

      capturmg , and conreyed them back to the police-barraeks at Feriybank , and also the suffvrers , whom they found bleeding on the road . After arriving at the barracks , the _suffirers identified tlie prisoners as tbe persons wboae-* a _ _ltf d them . On seeing one ot the prisoners ( Thomas Grant ) , Walter Walsh , iu identifying him , said , "Oh , it wasjouwho slaughtered us all with the bar of iron . " Yesterday the prisoners were brought hefore the magistrates ; tbey were identified by constable _JC'Coy , whosv evidence corresponds with what we have stated . Tht prisoners were remanded . One of the Walshes , an old man , died yesterday evening in the Leper Hospital , where his fellow-sufferers are lying in a hopeless state .

      WEDNESDAY . "Thb D _ i _ t Xews . " —The appearance of this daily journal stands , naturally enough , as the first item in our daily summary . As , however , it is too much the custom to offer premature opinion upon a new acquaintance , which a more intimate knowledge may compel us to retract or qualify , we postpone any expres-ion of opinion upon tbe attributes and qualifications of our new companion uutil after to-morrow morning ' s call , merely observing for the present that we wiBh eur visitor to scrape a LEETLE of the League mud off bis feet , and to rub them well in the 110 l'E rug before he allows himself to be announced ; add to which , a sprinkle of tau de Cologne , to correct the stink of tbe stationer , would be found useful . IV _' e will amuse our new companion with an anecdote . A little buutsman , one Andy Callagban , who ouce lived with us . and recovered many a wily fox tliat

      was supposed to be lost for ever , also served Lord Carberry in his calling ai huntsman . Tlie hounds of the _nuble lord were once running a doomed old dog fox breast high through the domain of Castlefreake , and Lady Carberry being a regular game ' un , made « ne of the field . CHARLEY , whether from instinct , or spite to bir ladyship for allowing him to be perfce-. uted , or from being hard pressed , rattled through a treasured bank of violets , to which her ladyship attached great store , lier ladyship was not aware that Charley ' s stink had perfumed the violets , and was in the act of luxuriating in the perfume , observing to a brother sportsman how delicious the ~ meU of tliosc violets was . The words just reached little Andy ' s ear as he galloped up , with a yoicks , and found the hounds puzzling between the two smells of Charley and the violets . "D—n their sowls _, " exclaimed Andy , " 1 lost my fine fox through the mains of the stink of them woiolits . "

      Mural : _^ We would recommend out * new friend not to lose his fine character through the mains of the stink of them League and them stationers . Free Trade . —A little girl once asked her mother " if what one person said was true ? " " No , my dear , " was the reply . " Is what two say , ma ? " "No ' , my dear . " "Tliree , mamma ? " "Xo , my dear , it nisy not . " " Well , then , is what every body says true , mammaf" "Oh , yes , certainly , iny dear . " ** Well , then , every body say * , mamma , that you art aw . " Now , really , if we thought that the marvellous coincidence of opiuion that appears to prevail in all the daily papers that we read , the Times ,

      tlie Daily A ' cas , thc Chronicle , and the Morning _Advcrt ' ser , was any proof that all the world thought like tiicm , we should say that protection only requires tomorrow ' s wave ofthe Premier ' s magical wand to dissolve it for ever . We are literally suffocated with rubbish on this subject ; blinded with the dust raised by the wiud from tlic QUARTER 01 * A MILLION FUXD . However , like tbe little girl ' s mother , we caunot believe that what four uu « ifted prophets dream in their cocklofts at night is indicative of what every body says . The sailors whistle for a breeze ; ami tbe cap full of wind—the little puff that will _-. _vn . from , her Majesty ' s sweet lips to-morrow , will arrest the "TRALE WIND" and check the

      hur-. The Protectionists . —The jolly farmers and theii jolly " friends" are going on like ii house on lire , and so slender is their loyalty , that if to-morrow ' s speech should _suggest tbe slightest inroad upon tlieir cherished privileges , tlieir loud denunciation of their own chosen man will bc exchanged for free expression of disloyalty towards their Queen . Mosev _MiUKK-t . —Really the dodgers , with the help of the government OPERATOR , bave got the pulse ofthe patient up a hit , in tho expectation that

      the _FASUl-NATING _FliNAiNClElt will propose some easy means of stumping the required deposits on railways . _^ We guess , however , thatthismornin »' s news from France will cause arc-action , if not a _re-Ispse , as itis decidedly warlike—that is , it breathes a deteniiii ation tlmt if England does go to war with America she shall fight her battle alone . The share market , however , oneof the most profitable sources of speculation to the j-bbcrs , is "stale , flat , and unprofitable 1 " in fact , that we are near something , and not one of the old somethings , that meant notl » n « is evident . ° '

      _IREJ-AND . t _ Thb Irum Chanckllob _asd , thk _£ bw Ciiibf Justice . —In stating the great and mamtold changes consequent upon the promotion or dismissal ot a great law functionary , we decl & ved ouv inability te enter upon a consideration of the several collateral branches , and hence were unable to fix Lord de Grey ' s price for the adoption of Mr . Gladstone . This collateral question is likely to be brought to an issue between the Lord Chancellor ot Ireland and the new Chief Justice , both claiming a right to the appointment of deputy keeper of the rolls . The Irishman says that the rigbt vests in the Crown , and the Englishman says that it vests with himself . Surely he must be right , as a Saxon Irish Chancellor weighs more in the scale than all Ireland ; and why not ? when M . Guizot contends that the President of Texas outnumbers the whole population of that republic .

      Progress op _Rh'eal . — At the Conciliation Ilall on _MoudHv last , Pan proposed that « K the Ucpeal members should meet iu Dublin on tllC tollovfittg Friday , and asserted that from fifteen to sixteen , AT THE LEAST , should be present . Dan , we'll givo you sixteen ; and what has become of the remaining twenty-seven ? for we had forty-three , upon the glorious division into which we iorced you in 181 * 1 This is the way the Repeal cause has progtcsed in the House of Commons and in Ireland . Imsii Moral Force . —Wc give the ., following spocimen of Dan ' s theorv upon the subject of moral force . Ue don ' t say what his practice would be , that ' s generally left to other , to carry out . The threat aud tender of Irish arms to fight England ' s

      battles if she gets justice , would , it we were not strong in faith , turn us into Anti-Repealers , but it is toa nation ' s will , and not to a juggler's caprice , that we look for the nation's triumph . Can words be more slavish , or principle more base , than will be found in the following short summary of the Liberator ' s pacifico warlike lucubration . " He would go to England to know whether the minister meant that- ( that is , whether the minister meant to adopt thetecommendation of the Duke of Cambridge , that the Irish people should live upon a mixture of potatoes and grass ); it * he did , they would—as it was the duty of every man to do—an alternative to which God forbid they should be reduced!—to go u ith A RMS IN THEIR HANDS . ( Tremendous cheering . )

      They must know we arc not such abject wretches as not to use the poor privilege of the worm . But what was the condition of England f America had virtually declared war agkinst her . The moderate men in Congress havespoken , but all their speeches point to war . It is most likely a war will come on . We have no iuterest in that war . The sons , and brothers , and relations of the Irish people arc received in that country with hospitality , and we will not make war upon them . I'll say these things in the Ilouse as well as here . But let England gire us justice , aud we'll shout in the front of her battle , aha at its close we shall cry victory ! ( Great applause . ) In 1782 the Irish people gave 30 , 000 men to Rodney , and enabled him to break the French fleet to atoms . We

      are ready to do so again for England , but let her burn the parchment , and make an union of oar hearts . England thon may dare the world , for Ireland will be free . " The hon . and learned gentleman then denounced the men who shed blood . " The country was cursed by their -rimes , which called down the arm of God ' s vengeance . " There , reader , the Irish people have no interest in butchering their relatives in America , but if England does justice to Ireland—tbat is , gives O'Connell patronage—then Irishmen will shout for tbe triumph of England over their friends and relatives in America , and thc Irish , no doubt , will scatter the American fleet as they scattered the French fleet un _ er Rodney .

      FOREIGN . Fraxcs . — The news from France this morning is most cheering . 'We give it rather fully , as it conveys thc intimation that M . Guizot no more represents Franoe than the President of Texas represents that republic , and from it the reader will learn that the French people , as far as their prass represents them , will not burn their fingers in a war with America at the bidding of England . It is very ; curious to see tlie manner in which the two great European bullies ( France and England ) deal with the war question ; each says fight , but botli 6 ay" You ' re none of my child . "

      France would have no objection that England should exhaust her strength and resources in an unprofitable and unpopular war , while England would have no objection to see the strength of France divided between Europe , Africa , aad America . Upon the whole , it appears tnat war is a ticklish game , that the league of people will not encourage the league of kings to play at . Here follow the extracts ; we preface them with the comment from thc Ztm « _e : — We have received by our ordinary express the _Taris papers of Monday , with letters from several of our foreign correspondents .

      Those journals are almost exclusively taken up with the Oregon quest : on , wliich they regurd as exteedingly menacing . They also refer to our internal affairs , and profess to be very doubtful of Sir Robert Peel's being able to carry his proposed alteration of tlie Corn Laws . They hazard guesses at the probable course and issue of the debate on the address in the Chamber of Deputies , which commenced on that day , and which , with every appearance of being _bortie out by the fact , they anticipate will * oe * very stormy one . The Bational states , tliat "it appears by tlie accounts from the United Stutts beyond all doubt that public opiuion in the Union is in favour of tlie occupation of the contested territory without nay _couoession to England . "

      "Atpc _. gent , " adds ttie AVrttonal , " the solution of the _discussien cannot ke distant , and even admitting that it may be adjourned by some Parliamentary tacties , it Kill be impotent to prevent the wishes of tlie nation from being accomplished . Oregon must belong sootier or later to the United States , and if . England refuses to yield it , it is war . " " It is impossible , " says tlie Steele , " to terminate our summary ofthe accounts from the Uuited States without expressing a wish , tliat iu the solemn discussion _tvliieli is about to hc commenced in the Chamber of Deputies the policy of France witb respect to the United States , may beeome the object of n most profound examination . In a war _purvly continental , France andthe United States might preserve their mutual independence ; but in a contest in which thc liberty of the seas and the rights of _natiBiuil flags are _tucesiarily engaged , there is between the United States and us a complete and consolidated aliiance . "

      Hie _ConMiUttioiiiicl observes that "the last accouuts frem America are calculated to cause the greatest alarm in Bmrland . All those , liketvise , in America , who desire the preservation ot peace have titkcn the alarm , and all their hopes are centred in Mr . Calhoun , who was for so long a time the object of tlte violent attacks of the British press . The British journals expect that the united efforts of Mr . Calhoun and of the Whig party , by causitig the success of the motion , will permit tho President to continue the negotiations . But this expectation , dependent on a thousund fluctuations of parties , is but fragile ; and if the imprudent words spoken b y M . Guizot be known sufficiently early in the United Sta tes—words which the English journals so greedily seized upon—they may create the same irritation throughout the country which his speech of last _jear excited , and cause a complete Change Of public Opinion . Is 31 . Guizot , after baring jtccorapliihed the annexation of Texas , destined to accelerate the occupation of Oregon V

      Spain . —The Lost Prksidbnt . —The Madrid Gazette ofthe 13 th instant states , that the Minister of tho Interior had received a communication from the Political Chief of _Guipuzcoa , announcing that a bottle had been found floating in the water near Motrico , containing a paper , of the contents of which the following words only could be deciphered : — Ship President .

It is reported that the Emperor , who arrived here on the 4 th inst ., had a conversation with the Prince Governor , in which his Majesty expressed his displeasure at the late armte . This is very possible , especially as tiie Emperor on a former _occaeion is said to have forbidden any _discorcry of conspiracy for the future , because on tbe one hand such proceedings irritated thc miuds of the people , and on the other hand put the treasury to great expense .

      IRELAND . The only news from unhappy Ireland is , thai the town of Mullingar was literally thronged to excess during the whole of Monday , by the friends and relations of the prisoners who are confined inthe gaol of that town , and who are to be tried by special commission now sitting there . That's from Ireland , but for Ireland there is something more in store . Last year a message of peace was sent to Slaveland ; this year a proclamation of war Is tbe most prominent feature in the Royal speech . This subject also requires a more extensive comment than a mere passing observation in our daily summary , and , with God ' s blessing , it shall have it .

      FOREIGN . We have little foreign news to notice to-day , beyond an outbreak of a serious character in Spain , the particulars of wliich we give at length : — _Baacdlon-, Jan . 13 . —General Breton has again taken the field at the head of the expeditionary column attached to the army of Cat-Ionia . It appears that a courier from the Gommand-ut-Uenertil of the province of Oironn arrived early this morning , with tbe intelligence of a party of insurgents having crossed the French frontier , and erected the standard of revolt iu the Ampurdan , and that numbers had flocked thereto . The division which had lately accompanied General Breton in his campaign againstthe conscripts , and which remained still organized as for active service , was instantly put under arms , aud marched hence within au hour , the Captain-General and staff having followed en paste a few hours after .

      A thousand strange rumours are current here . Itis asserted by some tliat this rising is the work ofthe manufacturers to deter ministers from carrying out the new system of tariff duties . Others believe it to be the echo of the manifestation of Prince Henry , and consequently a frogresista movement , to which the late violent measures of General Breton in the Ampurdan give some hopes of success , as public indignation was there roused to the highest pitch . Those who have entered Spaiu from France in armed bauds are said to be the young men tvho had abaudoned their homes and crossed tbe frontier to avoid the conscription .

      One thing has caused considerable surprise here , which is , tliat these . armed bauds could have crossed tlie French frontier into Spai * without the knowledge of the French police , vihohave , ever since ihe fall ofthe Regent , displayed the utmost vigilance , and thereby defeated several attempts to enter the niouutaiti districts by parties of in . surgeuts . Many people ask , can tliis entry have any _reference to the known desire manifested by French officials to favour the Catalouian manufacturers in their ettbrts to resist the government iu the application of the new law of Aranceles !

      So language can describe to you the additional excitement and deep sensation produced here hy tlie departure of tlie Captain-General , and the occurrence which has caused it . That authority was making his preparations to enforce the fulfilment of the conscription here withiu the city after tlie l _ > tli , to which date , as I mentioned in a former letter , the time forcouipliauce therewith was extended . His plans are for the present frustrated by the insurrection of the Ampurdan , and those who would iu all probability have been forced to cuter the ranks of the army prochiim a victory , and have employed tho evening of to-duy in singing songs of triumph at the cafes and _refreilinient-roouiB frequented by the lower class . The whole garrison is under amis to-night , and strong bodies of horse and foot parade tlie streets in all directions . The performances at the theatres have been ordered to be suspended and the inhabitants to retire to their , houses at nine o ' clock .

      The strength of thc garrison , fully 8 , 000 men , is , I think , sullicieut assurance that the tranquillity ofthe city cannot be permanently endangered . Some outhreak « _niuy take plaee , but it is the _geuerul opinion that they will be at once put down , , v . the General second in command inspires much confidence from his firmness and clemency . The English reader will understand that in foreigii terms cotiscript has the same meaning as being balloted for the militia , and their rulers will see that in Spain the services of the regular army are required to coerce the conscripts . In the year 1198 everv means ivas resorted to to induce the militia soldiersto volunteer into the line ; about 800 ofthe Cork and Kerry militias did _volunucr , but subsequently gave free expression to their dissatisfaction , and wore accordingly ordered for instant transportation to

      Chatham . __ hree hundred Irishmen , all of one mind , are not easily dealt with , and , consequently , tlie authorities found it necessary to use coercive measures with the Paddies . Lord Cathcart happened to be in Cork upon a tour of regimental duty , and coming into the city at an early hour , he met the 300 gallant soldiers handcufted aiidcJiaiiicd _, under a strong military escort .

      " _Timbs" and _itb _Pj _ oi _* hect . — As message after message warns us of the scanty space ihafc can be allowed our summary , we must cut it short . However , we cannot forbear sympathising with the poor Times , that reviles the speech that was to have been its Sir Oracle , for not having even mentioned COItN ; and yet tbe Times , with a huge bump of hope , and a Jiuger bump of impudence , manfully contends that its prophecy has been fulfilled . Tliere is some old story about the height of this and the height of that , and about the * ' hei g ht of impudence ; " but we say tho Times is the height of impudence . The Times complains that silk , sugar , and all the rest of it , and even the potatoe , have been subjects of Royal notice , but not corn . Now , after the speech , we tell the Times that Peel WILL NOT REPEAL THE

      CORN LAWS . The "Daily jSewb , "—Late last night , and with an aching heart , or rather early this morning , we registered our opinion of our new acquaintance , and after a third visit this morning , _havijig minutely scanned him again , we must cut his acquaintance , merely observing—bad luck to tbe stink of that Fox , we lost our fine paper through the " mains" of him . If we criticise sharply we have a right to explain fully . Tiireenumbers of this new paper have appeared then , each number has had three leaders , each leader has had three objects—league support , book

      support , and railroad support—every one of them , without exception , a toss up of the old free trade hash , and a bad one , too , without spice ; but , still further , our very worst apprehensions have been realised , as we shall show . Our complaint ef late years has been that all politics have merged into money speculation , which constitutes the demon centralisation upon which the despotic power of the Minister is based ; and from the following passage , extracted from tluj third free-trade leader in this morning ' s Daily AW-, It will be seen that our new acquaintance stoutly advocates this destructive policy of centralisation . Here follows the proof : —

      OUR NATIONAL FATE HAS NOW PLAINLY DECLAKBD ITSELF AS A MERCANTILE ONE , AND PARLIAMENTS AND PARTIES STRIVE IN YAIN AGAIUST TUB STEM NECESSITY THAT MAKES IT SO . OUR COMMERCIAL INTEREST HAS ALREADY OUTGROWN EVERY OTHER ; AND HAVING TO STRUGGLE , ON EVERY HAND , AGAINST THE ENCROACHMENTS OP OTHER IN .

MiLiiu .--If we were to publish all the thanks and laudations received from every corner ofthe empire , for Mr . O'Connor ' s letter in last week ' s Star , and his unvarying and consistent advocacy of the people ' s rights , we should fill three Stan ; oui answer , therefore , is , Jet the reader peruse the article , ' * No rote , no musket !

      IRELAND , Patrick _O'IIiocins . —We regret to state that next week we fearfully anticipate the task of announcing to our readers an extensive conspiracy , not only against the liberty , but against the life of our Irish chief . A conspiracy that has been hatohed in hell , under the auspices of the Liberator , and nurtured by his tool , the old clothesman , Tom Arkins . *—It would not only be premature , but imprudent , to make a too early development of the facts ; suffice it to say , that every engine is at work to fix the identity of Molly Maguire upon O'Higgins . We dare not trust ourselves with further comment on this painful subject—painful , that so many thousands of Irish money should have gone to sanctify the character of spies , and that there sliould be found one man in Ireland base _eneugh to turn approver , and thirst for a brother ' s blood .

      The Parsons Acaik.'—Baii. Court, Jan. 17...

      The Parsons Acaik . '—Baii . Court , Jan . 17 . —[ Before Mr . Justice Williams . ]—CWmiiwl / n / _ortnattoii—2 'A « Qit < eu » . tht Bev . Josiah Bartlett . —The Attorney-General applied to his lord 8 kip for a rule , calling upon the Rev . Josiah Bartlett to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him , fov sending a letter to hie _gisterin-law , a married lady , named Tozer _, containing a most cruel and scandalous libel upon her character . The learned counsel then proceeded to state the circumstances which gave rise to the application . The defendant ie a clergyman of the established church , and is brother-inlaw to the lady in whose behalf the application was made . From the ne __ r relationship of the parties , and the nature

      of the details whieh it would be his painful duty to state to the court , the fiiends of the parties and they themselves were equally anxious that the faete should not be brought before tbe public ; but it had unfortunately happened that some particulars of the unfortunate affair had already been published in one of the local newspapers , therefore whatever reason there might have been for forbearance was now abandoned , and the applicant was compelled thu 6 publicly to itate the circumstances , and to seek for the protection of the court . The defendant was officiating minister of the parish of Ivington , In Leominster , and also the chaplain of the Leominster Union . He resided at _Sroadvreod , a place about a mile and a half from Leominster . He was married about fourteen years ago , and had now six children . In the

      month of November last Mrs . Tozer received a very painful and distressing letter from her sister ( tho defendant ' s wife ) , announcing that It wa * the defendant ' s inteation to separate from her—that letter enclosed one from the defendant to bis wife , in which ha declared that _aueh was his firm determination . The letter of Mrs . Bartlett to Mrs . Tozer urged the latter , who was the wife of a highly respectablo merchant , to come to her at Broadwood ai early as possible , and she lost no time in complying with tliat request , and she arrived at Broftdwood on the lit of December . Tbe defendant was abtent from home on her arrival . She was accompanied to Broadwood by htr brother , who remained there until th * Pith of that , month . On that day the defendant returned home somewhat unexpectedly , and on his arrival Mrs . Tozer and her brother

      left the house , but wishing to afford their counsel and advice to their lister under the circumstances in whieh she was placed , they took lodgings at Leominster , and _vieited Iiroadwo « d occasionally . The defendant , however , was extremely irritated at their doing so , in consequence of whicli tiiey resolved to discontinue their _viiits for a short period . Th « y , however , revisited Mrs . Bartlett on the 17 th , and after having had a short interview with her they were about to leave the _iieuse wheu a son of the defendant , a lad about twelve years of age , begged of them te roturn , as the defendant wished to see them . They did so , whereupon tbe

      _defendant , addressing Mrs . Tozer in a very angry tone , said , ' * What do you mean by remaining at Leominster and disgracing me ! " and he insisted upou Mrs . Tozer and hei- brother quitting the neighbourhood . Mrs . Tozer , however , in reply to this attack , told the defendant that he bad no right to control her movements ; on hearing which observation the defendant advanced towards her in a menacing attitude , and apparently with tlie intention of striking her , when she said , "Don't strike me as you have already done my sister . " She immediately left the house , and in the course of the same evening she received the following letter from tho defendant : — '* Broadwood , Thursday , Dee . 18 , 1845 .

      "Mariana—Unless you express your regret for the out . rage committed here _yeitorday before my children and servants , I shall try and let such conduct find its punish _, ment hy exposing you to Mr . Tozer . You hnow what 1 mean , and you will then repent your outrageous conduct to me as long as you live . I will not put up with your acting in this way . I suppose you have not received my note on this point which I forwarded to you from London a fortnight since . What I say I say . And then , in all probability , the fall of both daughters will be tliat of the mother . I will do it unless your express you regret for your conduct yesterday . —Yours , " i . B .

      U . S . —I look upon yourself as the author of all this misery , for it is all attributable to your letters to Louisa . " Your conduct yesterday seems to say there iB an over _, ruling influence , contriving your own separation from your husband , as the result of your bringing about ours . Sin generally finds its punishment . You know not how much depends ou your decision in this matter . If you will humble yourself , I will yet forgive you . 1 say this in sincerity and truth . " Mrs . Tozer , Lion Hotel . " On receipt of this letter Mrs . Tozer , iu the absence of her husband , resolved to take no notice ofit ; hut on the 19 th sho received another letter from the defendant , of which tho foUowing is a copy : — _"Priday Evening , Dec . 19 , 1 _S-15 . "Mariana—I am led to think from yourunaccouutKble

      conduct that some unpleasantness hits arisen between yourself and your husband , by reason ofthe note I sent to you—not knowing you had left home , and that your stay here is thus to be accounted for—I caunot hel p writing to say , although you havo acted as you have , that there was nothing in tho note wbich need absolutel y involve you , or that ivould not admit of explanation , as it regarded other members of your family . If yoa will _bis-Uuve well , 1 will help you through anything ; but if you persist in annoying mo , you can only expect the contrary Your exceeding bitterness to mc , and your exceedingly soirowful looks , speak volumes to uiy mind . But bad as your conduct has been to nie , I _««„ yct remember mercy . I doubt not that your husband _opened the tour but tliere is nothing to fear to this time . _—Vouvs ,

      "Mrs . Tozer , Lion Hotel . " > _fj _^ The learned counsel then said that there was not the slightest reason for supposing that anything _unplewaiit ad taken place between Mr . Tozer and his wife , or that he had Un slightest suspicion of the propriety of her conduct . The above letters of tho defendant prepared the way for the cliarge that he afterwards made against ber m a letter containing a most titvoeious libel upon her character , It ran as follows : — " Mariana—Having forbidden you to enter my doors , i consider your coining here this afternoon , atthe time you kucw I should be from borne , just like your stieakine underhand conduct . " You _haro not onl y been the author of any unpleasantness which may have existed here , but you have most grossly iusulted me before my children and servants , and _instoad of being sorry for such conduct , you now _deliberatel y continue to annoy nie , by coining here in my
