      the very essence of humanity , and hinting his fear that the ejected tenantry are taimted with ribbonisru ; and it would perhaps be well , —aa there is nothing like giving a doomed dog an ill word , —to add Chartism . Mr . Steel will only have to follow at the heels of tbe eloqnent Mr . Daunt , and after proelaimiDg that tbe man who commits crime place * a weapon in the hands of the enemy ; he can by a Bpedes " of rhetorical artifice" for which be has a distinguished precedent , boldly assert that »' the eighteen evicted families" have

      committed a crime , and should , therefore , be regarded as the worst enemies of Ireland . Tbe Head Pacificator can then volunteer to proceed upon a crusade to tbe County Heath , and with the aid of the loyal and welldisposed , drub the refractory rogues out . of the district . This chivalrous offer will be greeted with cheers , and Doctor Stephen Murray will probably move , and Doctor Gray will second , a motion proposing the thanks of the meeting to Mr . Steele for this fresh evidence of his patriotic zeal , which motion will be carried by Ece ' amation .

      It will now only be requisite to polish off Mr- Smith by treating him to an encomiastic article in the freeman , and a bosk in the Nation , in which be may ba compared to Brien Boroihme , who drove away the Danes . — Diiblin World !

      THE BENT MOVEMENT . The CariovD Sentinel of last week , says— " We have made inquiry into alraoBt every case connected -K-ith the late movement against rents , and we find our original surmises with reference to this systematic combination to cheat the landlord fully borne out We shall or . iy give one case at present—namely , tkat of the widow Tracy , who held sixty-four acres from Captain Watson . She derived under a lease for twenty-one years , made in 1823 . at thirty-Beven shillings an acre , plantation m-asure , and the land was cf so fine a quality it produced frequently frem fourteen to seventeen barrels uf wheat to the acre . The tenant was in- good circumstances , but . the lease will terminate Btxt March , consequently it was not from acy pressure aming from temporary causes , or from an inability to pay the rent ,

      the corn and steck were swept away , but from a desire to rob the landlord of a full year's rent . Tiia tenant Dcvei complained of the tiroes ; and the first intimation tbe landlord heard of the progress of the new system was about eleven o ' clock at nigbt , when he receivtd a message , conveying the intelligence that a great number of men were cutting down Bud carrying away all the crops at that . hour of the nieht . Captain WaUon acted with promptitude and decision ; he proceeded to the spot . without dohj , and prevented thb removal of the property jintil the arrival of the cojiatabulary . Among the volunteers engaged on the occa-Bit n were fourteen men from | john " s-well , county of Ki-k ' nny!—a clear proof of the " -systematic manner in ¦ winch tie ^ oik was to have been effected by strangera , to avoid tbe possibility of detection . "

      The subjoined statement is from tbe Leinster Ejcpress : " I have to inform you , that this day ( the 20 tb ) , about the hour of eleven o'clock in th » forenoon , ¦ wilbin aV-out four miles of Sliokostown , near the Fourmije House , Valentine Irwin , brother of the late High Sheriff for this connty , was fired at from bfhind a wall , and received the contents of the charge in his hesd and fchonidera . He was brought into Strokestown in a gig , in which he was sitting alone when fired at . He was on his way to Fairy mount , for the purpose of driviDg fox rent which was due , and on which lands Isst summ » r a young man named Brock was shot for taking a farm . The outrage has caused a great sensation inthis hitherto peaceable county . There cannot be a better landlord than Rcbard Irwin , of Rsthmoyle , to whom his brother , Mr . V . Irwin , is agent . He was served with Beveral notices to ssy this would be done to him in open daylight , and unfortunately they have proved but too trutj . "

      Another letter , dated September 21 , Bays— " Several of the slugs hsve been extracted frum the back of his bead ; and , I am happy to state , he is not considered in daujzer . This gentleman had a distress made upon one of his tenants for three years * rent and arrears due to him . and a sale was to take place yesterday , although the goods 'would not produce one-fourth of tbe rent due . It is considered this was the only causa of his being fired at . Mr . Irwia appointed to come on this property on the 29 th , and it is now fnliy ascertained tsat two persons lay in wait at the urns place for him on that day . Ac investigation has bven held before Major Msbon , Deputy lieutenant , Messrs . B . Mabon , Godfrey Hogg , aad A . Croesley , resident magistrates , and it is hoped that the perpetrators will be discovered . "

      Ssize&b of tihb-abms . —Mr . Edward Bsssett , gun-maker , 22 . ABton ' s-qoay , was charged at Henrystreet pt lice-cfiice on Friday , by Inspector O Connor , of the detective force , with having in an unlawful manner brought over a great quantity of fire arms from EofcWnd without having an ? order in Council percutting him to do so . The two cbe&ts in which tbe weapons were deposited contained , among other articles , the following : — 29 single barrelled pistols wanting tho stocks , six short pistols , three double-barrelled pistols wanting the stocks , fifteen cafes of single-barrelled pistols complete , six barrels for single guns , four hair tnzeen , twelve siogle barrels , n \ ne doubV ditto , tfareo double-barrelled guns with eases , twenty-five ptckages of gan waddioe , &c

      Mr . Inspector O'Connor stated that he bad given directions on the previous nieht to Sergeant B-. rnes to bo to Northwall on thai morning ( Friday ) , and to watch the steamers which should c « nie by that tide from Liverpool . The Sergeant did make the arrest , and cams to -witness about balf-p st eight o ' clock , saying that he had taken two cases which vrtre in the charge of the prisoner BauetL He ( Inspector O'Connor ) saw the prisoner , and a » ked him it he had any order in Council to warrant him in importing the arms , and he admitted he had not . Tbe two bc-x&s were then opened in his presence , and contained the various firearms of which he had furnished a list to the Commissioners of Police . Mr . Studdert—What did the prisoner say when yon askfcu him if be had an order in Council to warrant him in bringing over the arms J Inspector—He said he thought his license as a gun * maker we a sufficient authority .

      { The fire-arms were produced , and although imported from . Birmingham , bore the name of " Edward Baasett " on the barrel . ) Mr . Curraa observed that the offence of which the prisoner wsb accused was a very serious one , and the Government were resolved to prevent too great facility being given to the dispersion of fire-arms ; but , in another point of view , the case was a bad one ; for the importing of those arms from Birmingham , and the value of them here , under an Irish maker ' s name , was a serious injury to the home tiade . Mr . Staddert said that be felt it to be his duty to take informations against tbe prisoner , and be would causa the informations to be forwarded to tbe Attorney-GtSfcr&L In the mean time ha would admit tbe party to hail on giving unexceptionable security , himself in £ 100 , and two sureties in £ 50 each . The fire-arms , which are cf the ialu » of £ 200 , remain with the police .

      1 'oBruG . iL and Don Migurl ! - ^ A manifesto addressed to the Portuguese nation , but rather strangely published at Madrid , has just been issued ( professedly ) fay Don Miguel !; Tho precious document—which assumes the sovereignity of this royal scamp , and that tho people are longing to have him once more among them—is dated from London , as far back as June ! yet it has but Just made its appearance . The manifesto is written in a would-be conciliatory and liberal tone ; but the circumstances connected with its publication render the whole of uo apocryphal a nature , as only to be thought worthy of a passing notice , as most probably a stock-jobbing trick or the production of some joker possessed of more wit than wisdom .

      Chimb Abboad—A strange circumstance occurred a few days ago at Darmstadt . A man named Thaunert was in prison there for a year for a slight theft . In ihe month of July last he bad served ten months out of the twelve for which he was condemned when his mother died ; and his oouduct in the prison having been exemplary , he solicited a remission of tho othor two months , to enable him to watch over the interests of his family . inconsequence of tho death of his mother . The Minister of J ustice refused to grant his request , but permitted him to leave' the prison for a fortnight to return to his

      village , on condition of his com nt ,- back to prison at the end of that period . Thaunert ; came back at the time appointed , bu * , he was uo longer the same person . Ho had previously been gay and social . He was now gloomy and taciturn . He was urged to account fur this change , and at length confessed that whilst at his village he had been induced to accept a bribe of fifty thalers U 85 f ) . from a young female of the place to murder her hasband , and that he had done so by shooting him in a forest . Upon this confession the female was arrested , and she also avowed the crime . :

      Italy . —The Papal and Neapolitan States are reported in the French journals 10 bo ripe for insnrrection . For some years pas' several secret political societies have been scattered over all parts of Italy ; but especially in the States of the Church , where the weakness of tho Government permitted them to take a firm footing . Recently their presonce has been manifested by sundry outrages , and the circulation of plaoards calling upon the people to arise and throw off the tyrannical yoke or tie Sovereign Pontiff . Letters from Rome , of tho otu instant , and from the banks of the River Po , a day later , state that tho malcontents have betaken themselves to the mountains , where they propose to carry on a guerilla war for the deliverance of Italy .

      Dkatk bt Lightning , —A few nights ago , while a man named Jean iiaptistej Pliu ^ uet was travelling with his wife and eon on the road from Senlis to FJandor 3 , they wore overtaken by a violent thunder storm near Villiers . Being imprudent enough to take shelter under a tree by the roadside , they had not been long there when the tree was struck by the lightning , which descended the trunk in a spiral direction , leaving an indented mark on the bark . Plinguet , who was leaning against the tree , was struok by tho electric fluid , and killed on tho spot .

      A part of his straw hat , remained as if glued to the tree . All the skin on the right side of his chest , as well as his right leg , was burnt . Two of his toes were taken off and could nowhere be found . His blouse , trousers , and shirt were perforated in several places , but did not bear the Bemblance of being burnt . The nails in the shoe of the right foot , part of which had disappeared with the two toes , and tbe sole appeared aa if calcined . His wife , who was seated at his feet , received only a slight contusion on her cheek , and his con , who who was olosoto her , eBcaped unhurt . — Qabgnani ' s

      Messenger . New Machine —A trial of an immense machine for cutting railroads , named by the inventor , Mr . Coohrane , a . native of the United States , " l'ho Railway Excavator , " was made yrsterday in the promises of Messrs . VartftH and Co ., the engine and machine makers , in the Avenue Trudainc . A large heap of earth and « tones was placed at one extremity of tho yard , and the machine having been set to work by moans of a Pteam-engine of twenty horsepower forming part of it , th « greater part was cut

      through and the rubbish thrown aside in a few minutes . Several scientific gentlemen who were present expressed their surprise at the tremendous power of the machine . Mr . Cochrane Btat * d that the heap of earth was not of a sufficiently firm nature to afford proper resistance to the cutting part of the instrument . 'When the opposing body was weighty and strong , the powers of the machine were , he remarked , infinitely better tested . One of these machines ia , we understand , now in use on the Eastern Counties Railroad . —Gatignani ' s Messenger .

      Austria . —The English Government have recently made a fruitless endeavour to conclude a treaty of commerce with Austria . The object of it was principally to facilitate tho entry of manfactnred goods , such as cotton and woollen articles ; England , in her turn , making offers for Hungarian wines . The reply of Austria consists in saying that the present state of her manufactories would not admit of any further reduction in the import duties . Examples fob English Rulers . —Tho spirit of improvement and retrenchment is very active in Brazil ; the Ministry and Legislature had devoted five hours every day : to the discussion of the estimates , cutting down the expenditure , and increasing the revenue by new imposts , amongst others a per crntage on all salaries and emolument of public officer ' s , and lopping off one-half tbe income derived from all offices held by pluralists , an example well worthy of imitation . Tne Emperor had voluntarily reduced his civil list ; for next year one-fourth , part .

      France—The Commerce and Charivari publish a declaration and a petition against the fortifications of Paris , which they , invite the citizens to come and sign in their respective offices . They declare that it was time to make an appeal to legal resistance ; that the embastillement of Parts was being followed up with frightful activity , and that Barcelona ought to be a warning to the Parisians . Tha petition is as follows : — " ¦ The undersigned , convinced that the encircling of Paris with bistillcs is dangerous for liberty , that it is incompatible with a representative Government , and ruinous to the country , call upon you to use your initiative to the effect of revising tho law , and , in the meantime , they entreat you to forbid the complete or partial armanenfc of theforfci with artillery and warlike stoves , and to rsfuse subsidies for the completion of the works .

      Mob g French " Glory . "— A letter from Oran , Sept . 9 , says : —The column of Mascara under the command of General Lampriciere , has just had an affair with the enemy , in which they killed fifty of the regular troops of the Emir , and got possession of some very important papers belonging to him . Amongst them is said to be a plan of his campaign , and an expose of his . sys ' . om of defence of the moun tains of Djurdjura . It appears that the organization of the tribes in the interior is in progress , and that the public roads are in general secure for travellers , which proves that Abdel Kader had retired . For

      some days Oran has been full of Arabs from the interior , come to purchase grain and other merchandise . Those Arabs lay out a great deal of money in their trading . Tne trade of Oran is in a prosperous state . The Chimcre steamor , which arrived hero ou the 7 ih with letters and 170 passengers , leaves today . Among other passengers she has tho Agha of the Garrabats , Habi Bouhalam , on board , who is proceeding to Mecca . This personage will embark by tbe vessel which has been placed by the Government at the disposal of the pilgrims from our possessions and from Tunis !"

It is added that this calamity will be severely felt throughout Germany , but particularly at Berlin and at Hamburgh . ' Rome . —A letter from Rome , in the Gazette des Tribunal /* , says : — During the month of August an attempt at violation took place here , on the person of a young girl , aged eleven , who died on the following day . Tho author of the crime was known ; but , as he belonged to one of the privileged classes , il ; waa generally thought that tne government would not

      prosecute him , and this conjecture increased the public indignation the more aa the victim belonged to the lower 6 la ? B . The idea above alluded to wa « not , however , correct , for the Sovereign Pontiff himself expressed to . M .

Shops at St . Thomas .- ^ The great trading street of St .

Such edifices , besides the defence afforded by them against an element that rages here but too frequently , have the further merit of being cool and airy from their size and loftiness . True , they cit but a sorry figure , as well in front as their internal arrangements : here is none of the display made at the shop-windows on Ludgate Hill , nothing of their agac-ries within ; to the street they present , when closed , the aspect of so many dungeons ; and open , make just the lugubrious show one eeos at ] an undertaker ' s .

      PUNCH'S LIVES OF EMINENT SCOUNDRELS . PROEM . Let it ba granted that whoever commits robbery anil murder is a scoundrel , and consequently that the more robbery and murder he commits , tbe greater scoundrel ae is . Now we hope the reader will not be startled at our entering on oar list of scoundrels , individuals whom he may have been taught to call heroes . Without more ado , let us measure pens with Plutarch . SCOUNDREL THE FIRST—ALEXANDER THE GREAT . This notorious thief was the son of Philip , King of Macedonia , who was a thief before him , and of Olympias his Queen . According to some , hftnself and his mother ( who appears to have been deranged ) among the number , he was tbe son of Jupiter ,

      Alexander had the advantage of certain modem and minor heroes of his stamp , "who have mostly come to the gallows , in being able t » read and write . Lysimachus taught him his Alphabetagammadelta . His finishing tutor was the philosopher Aristotle , ¦ who ; instructed him how to fight with syllogisms ; but-that was not tbe sort of fighting for him . ( ' .-.,.. . .. He gave while yet a boy , a strong proof of his disregard of his own neck—a quality so indtspensible to gentlemen of the predatory profession . In the presence of PhiHp and the whole Court , to the great risk of that part of his person , he tamed , by his prowess , the wild horse Bucephalus , afterwards the " Brown Bess" to hia Dick Turpin .

      When he -was a little bigger , at tfee early age of six . teen , he committed bis first offence . Philip had gone marauding to Bjzantiain , and had left young Alexander in command of the rest of the gang . The . MedaH , whoae territory Phillip had appropriated , ¦ were beginning to show symptoms of wishing to have their own over again . Alexander , at the head of a select band of desperadoes , attacked , took , and pillaged their city , turned its inhabitants out of house an 1 home , and pat seme of his own rogues , in their places . He next went thieving with his respectable father to Greece , and at Caeronea , where tbe Greeks made a stand against the Marcedonian banditti , committed a daring and fuccesaful outrage ; breaking the sacred band or A division of tbe Tbebans , and sending them to the right-about

      On the death of Phillip , who was stabbed by one of his own fellows in which transaction bis hopeful son was suspected of having been concerned , Alexander became king of the cut-throats . They were in an extreme state of insubordination , but he reduced them to reason by knocking some of the moat refractory on the head . He then led tbum on an house-breaking expedition against Thebes . Tho Tbebans , objecting to stand and deliver , stood , without delivering , against him on the field . They had better have let him have their money quietly , for he took their lives . He cot six thousand of them to pieces on the ground to begin with ; then he took their city , pillaged it first , raisd it afterwards , and sold all the inhabitants , -who were sot murdered , for slaves . The Greeks , upon this , perceived that Alexander waa a great Hero . They formed themselves , therefore into one laTge band of freebooters , and he , nothing loth , marched at the head of them into Asia .

      His merry men comprised thirty thousand footpads , and Sve thousand mounted highwaymen . He provided himself with no more than a month ' s pay for their maintenance , being of opinion that tbe slave who pays is base , and intending that they should pay themselves out of what they stole . His grand series of atrocities now commenced . At the battle of the Granicua , his first , he destroyed twenty-four thousand five hundred men , losing only thirty-four of his own rascals . He took Halicarnassus- and Miletus , by storm—a military operation which consists in burning , demolition , the indiscriminate slaughter of men , women , and children , and other proceedings , for which civilians are usually hanged . He snbdued the rest of Asia Minor , committing , in so doing , a number of sanguinary crimes whieh has not bean exactly calculated .

      He defeated Dirius , the Persian King , who with * stood his aggression , near Issus , in Cilicia . On this occasion he left a hindred and ten thousand victims dead on the ground , besides mangling and crippling at least as many more for life . In addition to this murderous exploit he stole an enormous amount of property , and made prisoners of Darius ' s family , whom it is due to him to state , he treated with great civility for a ruffian , letting them break their hearts in quiet without killing or abusing them . After the battle ha stole more property at Damascus and kidnapped other women and children . Theu he took Tyre after a seven months' siege , and . by way of indemnifying himself for his trouble , butchered two thousand of tbe citizens in cold blood . .

      At Arbela , after a wholesale murder on . the grandest scale , he finally routed the army ; ot Darius , whereby the whole of Persia became his prey . Hereupon , his first act was to break into the King ' s palace at Susa , and tw steal , take , and carry away money , jewels , wearing apparel , and furniture to the value of forty-five thousand talents . He now ravaged Media , Syria . E < ypt , and the whole of India , in which last country his spoliations and raas-8 acr < is were nearly as extensive as those of a gentleman named Bull have been since . When he bad at length robbed as much as he could , he is reported to have cried because he could rob no more .

      Alexander did not come to bo hanged ; bnt , having plenty of rope given him , in conformity with the adage , wua bis own Jack Ketch . His gaDg being laden with all the Mpoil they could carry , he retired te Babylon ; where , like most eminent scoundrels who are prosperous , be set to work to eDjoy himself , by indulging in all kinds of luxury and dissipation . H ^ re , after a short career of hatd living , he got very drunk one day , caught a fever in consequence , and died , aged thirty two , not at all regretted by anybody who knew him . Latterly , indeed , be had given in greatly to drinking ; and one day , in a state of fermented liquor , committed the mildest murder of the many he was guilty of . by running his friend Clitus through the body . On another occasion , being tipsy , be burnt down tbe city of Pdrsepolis , as the little boys say " for a lark . ' Arson , robbery , and murder , were thus the deeds which gained him the surname of Great .

      Let us consider the exploits of Alexander , as well as we caa numerically . Besides multitudes which have not been enumerated , he killed , as we have seen , of hit f ello w-creatures—At Thebes 6 009 TheGranicus ... ... 24 500 Issus iio . 000 Tyre 2 , 000 *

      142 . 500 Suppose that in his other battles and seigeshe killed only as many again ( an estimate far beneath the msrii no doubt ) , he must have done at least 285 , 000 niurdets , without reckoning that of Clitus ; consequently . & 8 deearved the baltsr 2 S 5 000 times , and was by just so much a greater villain than Courvoissier .
